"Does it glow in the dark?" "It's important." "Trust me." "Go ahead, open it." "What is it?" "It's your new pet." "Come on, Barney." "Be a good dog." "You're kidding." "Dad, it's really neat." "Where'd you get this?" "Some little junk store in Chinatown." "Can I pick him up?" "Sure, go ahead." "Just be careful." "You gotta be gentle." "I will." "I hope he's housebroken." "Isn't he cute?"

"One, two, three... ." "Bright light!" "What happened?" "He hates bright lights." "There's some important things I forgot to tell you." "Number one, he hates bright lights." "You gotta keep him out of the sunlight." "Sunlight will kill him." "Number two, keep him away from water." "Don't give him any water to drink." "Whatever you do, don't give him a bath."

"I'll get you fixed up in no time." "All right." "Hold still." "Sorry." "Sorry." "Try not to move so much, okay?" "Good night, Giz." "I'll see you in the morning." "I got a tree!" "Oh, Christ!" "Billy!" "I just brought in your Christmas tree." "What happened?" "Slight problem with the Peltzer Peeler-Juicer." "I thought your dad fixed it." "I thought so too." "You should just buy orange juice in cartons." "It's a lot easier." "See, it works." "I had to come." "So I see." "Now I can see." "It takes a certain kind of guy." "And that guy needs a certain kind of dame." "It's no problem, Pete." "Leave it up here." "What'll you tell him?" "I'll just tell him a bunch of bikers stole it from me on my way home." "Wow!" "The Hooded Menace." "Issue number one!" "Pretty neat, huh?" "Where'd you get it?" "Dr. Fantasy's, I think." "What's that?" "Come here." "I'll show you." "This is my new pet." "My dad gave him to me." "Neat!" "What's his name?" "His name's Gizmo." "Hi, Giz." "He's a mogwai." "Cute!" "Blink your eyes." "Go like that." "Can you do that?" "Watch." "Maybe he'll sing." "Come on, Giz." "Let's go over to the table." "I'll be careful." "There we go." "Gee, Billy, where can I get one of those?" "I don't know." "This is the only one I've ever seen." "Can I hold him?" "Sure." "I don't see why not." "He seems to like you." "Great!" "Thanks a lot." "Sorry." "What was in that jar?" "Nothing!" "Just water!" "Why is he making that noise?" "What is it?" "I don't know." "Is it alive?" "I don't know." "One, two, three, four, five new ones." "Now can I have one?" "I don't know." "Look, that one's got a cute stripe on its head." "Isn't that incredible, Pete?" "Yeah, great." "Don't you think this--?" "This is incredible!" "Oh, it is neat." "I'm serious." "It's neat." "Gizmo, what's the matter?" "There's something I should tell you." "Look." "You're familiar with the Bathroom Buddy?" "I have made an improvement." "Watch this." "Now, let's say you're late for the big meeting." "It's really important." "You're on your way." "You reach up." "You forgot to shave." "What're you gonna do?" "Under normal circumstances you are in trouble." "But not if you have the Bathroom Buddy." "Watch this." "What do you think?" "That's pretty neat." "What's this button?" "Sorry, Dad." "It's okay." "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault." "I'm working on that." "I haven't finished that." "I came up here because there's a problem with the mogwai." "Yeah, what's that?" "It multiplies with water." "Do you see what I mean?" "I don't believe that." "All that from water?" "They got wet?" "Plain water." "It's funny." "The new ones aren't like Gizmo." "The striped one seems to be the leader." "You know what?" "I'll bet every kid in America would like one of these." "They might replace the dog as the family pet." "Think about it." "The Peltzer Pet." "This could really be the big one." "Barney, who did this to you?" "Hold on, I'll get you down." "Stay still." "Poor dog." "Another minute and he would've been a dog-sicle." "All I know is that I'm positive that I closed and locked the door." "How else did she get to him?" "We can't point any fingers, not even at Mrs. Deagle." "She's been threatening him." "She'd love to get her hands on him." "We don't have proof." "We can't even find footprints leading up to the house." "I'm gonna take Barney to your grandmother's." "Take him there on the way to the convention, pick him up on the way home." "He'll be here for Christmas." "It'll be all right." "I don't think we can drink this." "Why not?" "What's wrong with this?" "Is that a mogwai?" "." "Yeah, I'm gonna have Mr. Hanson check it out." "And all of a sudden, there were five new ones like this one." "Now watch this." "Can I keep one of these here, run some tests on him?" "I think I can spare one." "This is some Christmas, Katie, I'll tell you." "First the old bat closes the factory, and now it's my goddamn plow." "Mr. Futterman, guess what?" "It's time to go home now." "How about one more beer?" "No, it's late." "One more beer, I'll help you clean up." "No, thanks, though." "It'll be okay." "It'll be okay." "It will not be okay." "I brought my plow in for a tune-up and found it loaded with foreign parts." "I mean, everything." "Gaskets, pistons, spark plugs." "All of it's foreign." "Going home?" "Gremlins!" "You gotta watch out for foreigners." "They plant gremlins in their machinery." "The same gremlins brought down our planes in the big one." "That's right." "World War ll." "Good old W-W-l-l." "They're still shipping them over here." "They put them in the cars, the TV." "They put them in the radios you stick in your ears." "They put them in the watches." "Little teeny gremlins." "It's not a good idea that you drive." "Why don't you walk home?" "You know, Katie, I think maybe I'll walk home." "Good." "It's a nice night." "Good night, kids." "Gremlins." "That was really good, the way you handled Mr. Futterman." "I'm used to it." "He's been like that ever since he lost his job." "He's like a lot of people around here." "He just wants somebody to listen." "Especially around the holidays." "Why is that?" "It's when a lot of people get really depressed." "I always thought everyone was happy during the holidays, no matter what." "Most people are, but some aren't." "While everybody else opens up presents, they're opening up their wrists." "Cheery thought." "It's true." "The suicide rate's always the highest around the holidays." "Now I'm depressed." "Do you ever get depressed on Christmas?" "I don't celebrate Christmas." "Are you Hindu or something?" "No, I just don't like to." "What's not to like?" "I mean, it's a lot of fun." "God!" "Say you hate Thanksgiving, and nobody cares." "But say you hate Christmas, everybody makes you feel like you're a leper." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "I'm sorry." "I'm just a little tired and cranky." "Thanks for walking me home." "No problem." "Good night." "I was just wondering." "Do you get any free nights off from Dorry's?" "Thursdays." "Thursdays, yeah." "Because I was just wondering if you're free this Thursday night, maybe you'd like to go out on a date with me?" "I'd love to." "Well, that's great!" "We can talk about it on the phone and kind of square everything away." "Good night, Billy." "Hey, there." "Give me your arm, boy." "Come here, come on." "Give me your arm." "No, this is not gonna hurt." "This isn't gonna hurt." "Not a big guy like you." "Come on." "There you go." "See, that's not so bad." "Come on." "Good, good." "Oh, that's good." "Just a little blood test, pal." "You'll never miss it." "They're like huge seed pods!" "Having fun?" "Fun!" "Pretty neat, huh?" "Neat!" "How about shutting up for a change, okay?" "I already fed you." "Well, it's not 1 2:00 yet." "All right." "Keep an eye on them, Giz." "I'll be back in a second." "Here we go." "Now maybe you guys will be quiet." "You guys are really hungry." "Giz, you want some?" "Do you want some chicken?" "That's it, good buddy." "Call it a night." "Can 't you see?" "They're after you!" "They're after all of us!" "Our wives, our children, everyone!" "They're here already!" "You're next!" "You're next!" "You're next!" "You're next!" "Mom, could you come up here, please?" "Then I want you to bring the vacuum cleaner upstairs for me." "What are they?" "Well, they're the mogwai, I guess." "Except for Gizmo." "Did you get them wet?" "Did you feed them after midnight?" "Well, I gave them some chicken." "But I made sure that it" "No, no, no." "Wait a minute." "I made sure... ." "What's going on here?" "What'd you say this was called?" "A putrid stage?" "Pupal." "Pupal stage." "Like a butterfly." "Yeah, right." "This is a cocoon, and inside he's going through changes." "Lots of changes." "Like my mother." "No, that's different." "This is called a metamorphosis." "It's a change in form and in appearance." "Hi, honey!" "No, I'm sure it works fine." "I was just out on the back porch for a second." "The convention's great." "I said it's great!" "Actually, the competition's... ." "Sorry, miss." "The competition's a little more advanced than I expected." "I was giving myself an oil change." "Some really neat things." "Oh, Rand." "You've never been so far away on Christmas Eve before." "I know it's Christmas Eve." "I'll do the best I can." "All right." "Bye-bye." "All I could get for it was $36!" "If there's anything I can do... ." "But it's completely out of my hands." "I'll be delighted" "Hello, Gerald." "I'm under such terrible pressure." "Why don't you just speak to Mrs. Deagle about it?" "Speak to Mrs. Deagle?" "Mrs. Deagle!" "Deposit this to my account." "Where's that psychotic canine?" "Still hiding under the counter?" "No, I'm afraid he's on vacation." "Better keep him behind locked doors, because if I catch him he's in for a slow death." "Here's Mr. Nird's heart." "Small animals lose heat faster than large ones." "Their blood must circulate faster to keep their bodies warm." "Now, in small birds  their hearts beat about 600 times per minute." "Cats, 130." "Man, about 75 and a big old elephant's heart, only 25 a minute." "Hey, doc, you got a human heart?" "Has he got a human heart?" "Wait till you see this!" "Roll 10." "Okay, class." "Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas." "If any of you wanna bring me a present a cassette deck wouldn't be bad." "Of course, tickets to the Super Bowl would be very nice." "Mr. Hanson, wait." "Let me just talk to you for a second." "Bye." "It just hatched." "I'll be right there." "Hey, there." "You remember me?" "Remember me, don't you?" "I went and got you a candy bar." "I thought you might be hungry." "You hungry?" "You should try one of these." "Hey, there." "Come here." "Don't be afraid." "There's no reason to be afraid." "Where'd you go?" "Where are you?" "I know you're in there." "I know you're under there." "Come on, now." "You're not still angry about that little blood test, are you?" "Come on out." "Take a bite." "Let me see you." "I just wanna see you." "You try some of this now." "I know you gotta be hungry." "There now." "Don't you feel better?" "Gizmo ca-ca!" "Billy, are you okay?" "Where are you?" "Mom, they hatched." "Get out of the house." "Phone home." "Ca-ca!" "Get out of my kitchen!" "Neat!" "Are you all right?" "I think so." "Mom, it's Stripe!" "Should I get it?" "Yeah, go ahead and get it." "Oh, I didn't mean that." "Hello, Dr. Molinaro." "Can we come in?" "My mom's had a bit of an accident." "Be careful!" "What happened?" "Giz?" "Bright light!" "Bright light!" "Come here." "They almost got you, huh?" "Climb in here." "The question is totally without meaning." "Pardon me, sir." "Stuff." "Thick and heavy." "Would 60 gallons be sufficient?" "I rarely use it myself, sir." "It promotes rust." "Don't worry, Giz." "We'll find him." "Gremlins, huh?" "Little monsters." "Right." "Hundreds of them?" "I'm not sure." "Maybe thousands." "Look, I know it sounds crazy." "I know it does." "But in a matter of hours, this town's gonna be a disaster area." "You've got to warn people!" "You think this kid is drunk?" "No, but you are." "I am not drunk!" "Tell me something." "Where do these little gremlins come from?" "All right." "My father gave me one as a present." "Does your father always give you vicious little monsters?" "No, they don't start out vicious at first!" "Of course not." "They don't!" "They look like this." "Could you dim the lights?" "Sure." "Go ahead, Brent." "Dim the lights." "Gusto!" "'Tis the season to be jolly" "Right, Murray?" "Sheila, will you quit messing with the TV?" "You have the thingy." "Goddamn foreign TV." "We should've got a Zenith!" "Foreigners." "I can't get a damn thing on this!" "Where are you going?" "I'm gonna check the antenna." "Maybe the damn thing blew down." "Be careful, dear." "What the hell is that?" "It's them!" "You're crazy!" "There's a real gremlin in my cab!" "Hello, Anderson." "Wanna mail something, do you?" "Just a last-minute package, Father." "Be my guest." "That's strange." "Patriotic little fellow, ain't he?" "Waving the flag and everything." "Be careful, Frank!" "He might tear your arm off." "You want me to put the cuffs on him?" "Tell me." "How come a cute guy like this can turn into a thousand ugly monsters?" "You see, this is before it enters the pupal stage." "Plus, it multiplies with water." "Get the kid some water." "I wouldn't do that." "Sheriff's office." "Yeah, speaking." "What?" "Yeah, sure, we'll be right over." "What happened?" "The Futtermans." "Something about a snowplow." "A freak accident." "It's the creatures!" "The creatures are making it look like an accident!" "Will you listen to me?" "You listen to me, kid!" "Go on home, take little Gizmo sit by the fireplace and open your Christmas presents." "Attaboy." "Let me drive." "No, you're drunk." "You always drive!" "Because I'm the sheriff, asshole." "Kopeck, you stop that, you bad kitty!" "Kopeck's a bad kitty." "Ruble's a good little kitty." "We'll find you something to eat." "She's a good kitty." "Here we go." "Here we go." "Come on." "All right, you stop that!" "Stop it!" "Mean kitty, you start eating before everybody gets here." "Come on, Dollar Bill." "Yes, here we go, Dollar Bill." "Mommy'll fix you something good to eat." "Everybody here?" "All right, let go of Mommy's coat." "Here." "Christmas carolers." "I hate Christmas carolers." "Screechy-voiced little glue-sniffers." "I warned you brats!" "What are they?" "They're here!" "They've come for me!" "They've come!" "I'm not ready." "I'm not ready yet." "I'm not ready!" "My God, Frye!" "That was Mrs. Deagle." "Get them off!" "Get them off!" "Help me!" "That's Dave Myers." "He does Santa every year." "What the hell is he doing now?" "What's that stuff he's got all over him?" "Frank, I really think we should go now." "Start the car." "I'd really like to go back to the station." "Please!" "Jesus, Frank!" "What the hell are those things?" "It's Christmas." "What the hell's going on?" "Shut up, will you?" "!" "I don't believe it." "You're on with Rockin ' Ricky!" "Go!" "Hi, my name's Pete." "These green guys are running around wrecking things." "This is Christmas, not Halloween!" "Listen, gang." "Rockin ' Ricky's getting fed up with this Orson Welles crap!" "What's that?" "Kitty, what's that?" "Some of Rockin ' Ricky fans?" "You're not a Rockin ' Ricky fan!" "Sir, I notice that you're a smoker." "I notice that you're a smoker." "I see the cigarettes." "I noticed, here, this broken ashtray." "It's very fortunate that I happened to come by." "Let me introduce myself." "My name's Randall Peltzer." "I'm an inventor." ""Fantastic ldeas for a Fantastic World. " I make the illogical logical." "I have something here that I think you might be interested in." "Yes, sir, I do." "This is the Peltzer Smokeless Ashtray." "I think this can solve your problem here, sir." "Please don't bite me!" "Wait a minute." "You all right?" "Let's get out of here!" "What's that?" "Don't worry." "He's with me." "He's not one of them." "What's wrong?" "Why isn't the car starting?" "We're gonna have to make a run for it, okay?" "One, two, three!" "They've been here too." "What are these things?" "Where do they come from?" "They're gremlins, Kate." "Just like Mr. Futterman said." "Now I have another reason to hate Christmas." "What are you talking about?" "The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas." "Oh, God." "It was so horrible." "It was Christmas Eve." "I was 9 years old." "Me and Mom were decorating the tree waiting for Dad to come home from work." "A couple hours went by." "Dad wasn't home." "So Mom called the office." "No answer." "Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing." "So the police began a search." "Four or five days went by." "Neither one of us could eat or sleep." "Everything was falling apart." "It was snowing outside." "The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire." "That's when I noticed the smell." "The firemen came and broke through the chimney top." "And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird." "And instead they pulled out my father." "He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit." "He'd been climbing down the chimney his arms loaded with presents." "He was gonna surprise us." "He slipped and broke his neck." "He died instantly." "And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus." "Don't worry about that smoke." "It'll stop." "It's guaranteed." "Barney, shut up!" "Don't start with me." "I got a long way to go." "Shut up!" "Where did they all go?" "It'll be light soon." "I bet they're all together someplace dark." "Mogwai!" "They're inside." "All of them?" "Milk Duds." "What are they doing?" "They're watching Snow White." "And they love it." "Where's the boiler room?" "It's in the back of the theater." "Down there." "Milk Duds." "Cover your mouth." "Don't breathe any gas." "Go." "Hurry up!" "Go, Katie!" "Watch out!" "Come on!" "In the department store." "Stripe!" "That's Stripe." "He's the leader." "If he gets to water, it'll start all over again." "Take Giz."
