The Brave Little Toaster (1987)

Timothy E. Day: Blanky, Young Rob (The Master)

Quotes 

• Air Conditioner : You guys really have an attachment for that kid, don't you?

  Blanky : Yes. He was our master.

  Air Conditioner : Well, that's real nice, and any day now, he might come romping back, huh? He'll just come whistling through that door, and everything will be the same. Real peachy-keen-like.

  Blanky : Uh-huh.

  Lampy : It's a possibility.

  Toaster : Well, at least we try to be optimistic.

  Air Conditioner : [shouts]  Optimistic? Somebody try to untie the knot in this guy's cord!

  Kirby : Why don't you just shut off?

  Air Conditioner : Hey, I'm really scared there, Kirby. What are you going to do, suck me to death?

• Air Conditioner : So... It's back to that stupid static again. You think I don't know what's going on in here? I know what goes on in this cottage. It's a conspiracy and every one of you low-watts is in on it. Just 'cause you move around, you think you're better than I am. I'm not an invalid. I was designed to stick in the wall! I like being stuck in the stupid wall! I can't help it if the kid was too short to reach my dials...

  [Begins to spark and fizzle furiously] 

  Toaster : We didn't mean it. Really!

  Air Conditioner : [bellows]  IT'S MY FUNCTION!

  [continues sparking and fizzing and glowing] 

  Toaster : No, wait. Wait!

  Kirby : He's gonna blow!

  Toaster : Quick, yank your plugs!

  [the appliances all unplug themselves just as Air Conditioner blows up] 

  Blanky : Poor Air Conditioner.

  Toaster : I didn't think he'd take it so hard.

  Kirby : Ah, he was a jerk anyway.

• Air Conditioner : What is it with you guys, anyway? You act like you just came off the assembly line! Now get this through your chrome. We've been dumped! Abandoned!

  Blanky : But he loved us.

  The Radio : That's right.

  Air Conditioner : So what? He's a kid. He has a family. They move away, he moves away. It's a packaged deal.

  Toaster : But maybe they're...

  Air Conditioner : He's not coming back! Pure and simple!

  Kirby : Oh yeah? Did you talk to him recently or something? They could drive up any second!

  Blanky : You really think so?

  Kirby : I'm not talking to you!

• The Radio : Boy, are we glad to see you!

  Lampy : Yeah. I really thought I'd turned in my warranty that time.

  The Radio : Until baggy here showed up!

  Kirby : I just slipped and fell in. That's all.

  Lampy : [laughing]  Oh, yeah, sure, right.

  Blanky : You can't fool us. We love you.

  The Radio : That's right, like Mrs. Roosevelt loved her husband.

  Kirby : Yeah, yeah. Well, here's the shore. Everybody off.

  The Radio : Listen to this! This is President Roosevelt awarding the vaccum the medal of honor!

  [Radio places a leaf on Kirby's face, but Kirby blows it off, and everyone laughs] 

• Blanky : He's not home.

  Toaster : We'll have to wait.

  The Radio : No. Let's wait inside!

  Lampy : But it's locked.

  The Radio : Luckily, my war training included inter-appliance codes. I will simply render the secret appliance knock, and we'll be welcomed by the native machinery. Stand aside, my meager companion!

• Toaster : If a dog can do it, WE can do it!

  Blanky : But a dog has legs.

  Toaster : Ah, don't be a wet blanket.

• Toaster : Hang on tight, Blanky!

  Blanky : I am!

  The Radio : Don't let the tremendous height scare you.

• Blanky : Do we have to stop here?

  Toaster : Only for a while.

  The Radio : Just long enough to lose our minds! We'll be cannibals within a few days, I've seen it happen!

  Kirby : And you'll be the first to go, dial-face.

• [Toaster notices Kirby is reluctant to come] 

  Toaster : You know, we could use someone who's really... strong!

  Lampy : And loud!

  Blanky : And grumpy!

  The Radio : And oblivious to reality!

• Blanky : [off-screen from a distance]  Help me! I'm stuck!

  Toaster : I hear him.

  Lampy : I don't see him anywhere.

  The Radio : Maybe he's calling from Blanket Heaven. He's a white, fluffly little angel with a knob-nose.

  Kirby : He's just stuck in a tree, that's all! Look!

• The Radio : Why if it isn't ol' Rabbit Ears!

  Black and White TV : Why if it isn't ol' loudmouth!

  Blanky : Hey, TV!

  Lampy : How ya doing?

  Black and White TV : Oh, I've got a few more seasons left.

  Toaster : The cabin hasn't been the same since they took you away.

  Kirby : Yeah, it wasn't as noisy.

  Black and White TV : [grinning]  Well I see you haven't changed.

• Blanky : There may be lions in there...

  The Radio : And tigers and bears. Oh my.

  Lampy : [sarcastically]  He's such a baby! Ma-maa!

  [Toaster shoos them both away and stands next to the frightened Blanky after a few seconds she affectionately rubs his head making him smile] 

• Kirby : What do you mean what are we going to do today? The same thing we've done for the last 2000 days! Chores!

  Blanky : Chores?

  Toaster : It'll be fun.

  The Radio : Fun? I'm up for some fun. Listen to this, a broadcast from Wrigley Field. It's the bottom of the ninth...

  [Lampy shuts Radio off] 

  Lampy : I don't see how doing chores is supposed to be fun.

  Kirby : It's not supposed to be fun. It's work.

  Blanky : I don't like to work without the master.

  Toaster : Well, okay. If you guys don't want to work, why don't we play a game?

  The Radio : A game? What sort of a game?

  Lampy : What are the rules?

  Toaster : There's only one rule... no one stops until the house is clean.

  Kirby , Blanky , The Radio , Lampy : Boo!

• Lampy : Hey, everybody! Look! A clearing!

  Kirby : Great. Let's spread out the blanket and have a picnic.

  Blanky : But I'm full of stickers!

  Kirby : Well, my bag's full of thistles and sticks and who knows what else! Who's idea was it to come this way, anyway?

  The Radio : Why, it was the lamp's, I tell ya!

  Lampy : Oh, yeah? Who's supposed to be the big shot navigator around here, Mr. Loudmouth? Mr. Big Loudmouth?

  Kirby : Yeah!

  Toaster : Where are we, anyway?

  The Radio : Now, look here, fellas, just give me a second and I... Whoa, listen to this! It's the top of the ninth, the bases are loaded, and... PeeWee Reese is at the plate! There's the pitch, and he hits!

  [he hits a rock which bounces off everyone else] 

  The Radio : Oh, and it's a triple play!

• Blanky : Oww!

  Toaster : What's wrong?

  Blanky : He stepped on me!

  Lampy : Did not!

  Blanky : Did too!

  Lampy : Did not!

  Kirby : Did too!

  Lampy : Did not!

  Toaster : Hey, hey, hey, come on! How do you guys expect us to get there if you're fighting all the time?

  Blanky : You mean we're not there yet?

  Toaster : [chuckles]  No, not yet. We've got a long way to go.

  Kirby : Oh, boy! You're telling me!

• The Radio , Lampy , Blanky , Toaster , Kirby : [singing]  There goes the sun, here comes the night. Somebody turn on the light. Somebody tell me that fate has been kind.

  Chorus : [singing]  You can't go out! You are out of your mind!

• Toaster : Well, I'm going with or without you.

  Kirby : Well, I say we stay. We're gonna have a new master anyway once someone buys this cottage.

  Blanky : But I don't want a new master! I want our master!

  Toaster : Well? What about the rest of you?

  The Radio : You boys are gonna need a leader! Why, alone, you wouldn't last more than five minutes out there! I was once a mountaineer, see? And together, we can stand against the forces of nature!

  Lampy : Were you really a mountaineer?

  The Radio : Sure. Ask anybody. Ask Teddy Roosevelt. Why, we shoot moose together on the Klondike.

  Lampy : Wow. Well, you know, I was thinking, you guys are gonna need someone bright along too.

  Toaster : Good idea.

• Kirby : Lay off! Just lay off!

  Toaster : What's the matter?

  Lampy : We were worried about you.

  The Radio : You had us real scared there, pal.

  Kirby : Well, there's nothing wrong with me, pal! Just back off!

  Blanky : Don't be angry.

  Kirby : Just keep your antenneas and knobs and wires and ribbons off my chrome! Who needs you guys, anyway? Gotta drag you around all the time, bunch of dead weight! I'd be better off without you!

  Blanky : But Kirby...

  Kirby : Especially you, you little rag!

  [pauses for a while, then turns to the waterfall] 

  Kirby : So, uh... how do we get across this thing, anyway?

• Blanky : We did good, didn't we?

  Toaster : Yep. Ahh... We did good.

  Lampy : You know, I've been thinking: if this college is serious stuff, I could absorb some interesting facts.

• Blanky : [mice are dragging Blanky into a hole]  Someone help me. Help, they're killing me.

  Toaster : Hey, you leave him alone.

  [Toaster manages to pulls Blanky out of the hole] 

  Blanky : [gasps; a mouse is chewing on the Masters picture]  Stop it! Give me that!

  [Taps the mice on the head with the picture; to Toaster] 

  Blanky : He was chewing on the Master.

• Blanky : [last lines as the appliances go with Rob and Chris to college]  We did good, didn't we?

  Toaster : Yup

  [she affectionately pats his head and snuggles on top him and relaxes] 

  Toaster : we did good.

  Lampy : [scratching his head]  You know I've been thinking and this college business seems like a good idea, I can absorb a lot of interesting facts.

  The Radio : Why listen to this, I'm picking up something, I think it's a news flash: President Roosevelt has declared today a national holiday in honor of those five amazing appliances we've all been hearing about, so lock up the office, take down the top and open that rumble seat last one to Coney Island is a party for one, from the Starlight roof high atop the Ritz, we wish our intrepid little friends the best of luck and a fond farewell

  Kirby : Yeah, your all a bunch of junk.

  [They all start laughing] 

• Lampy : Boy, he sure has grown!

  The Radio : Look at him! What a heartbreaker!

  Toaster : He graduated too!

  Kirby : Of course. He knows how to work hard.

  Blanky : He's all big now. I hope he still needs us.

  Black and White TV : [good-naturedly]  Still needs ya? That's the silliest thing I've ever heard!

• Lampy : Hey. Hey. What's that?

  Blanky : A car!

  Kirby : I don't want to hear another word about cars!

  Toaster : You said it.

  The Radio : It sounds pretty close.

  Kirby : Just don't even start!

  Lampy : Sounds real close!

• Toaster : [notices that Blanky is staring off into space as if some sort of trance]  Hey, hey, shh, shy, quiet, it's the Blanket

  [they all stop what they're and doing and look at Blanky] 

  Blanky : [barely audible]  A car.

  Toaster : A car!

  Kirby , Lampy , Radio : A car!

• The Radio : [the appliances are on a magnet at the junkyard being taken to the crusher]  At least we all go together, yeah that's looking at the bright side isn't it.

  Blanky : No, no, the Masters down there, look!

  Lampy : It's him!

  Kirby : What? Where?

  The Radio : Why look, it is him!

  Blanky : [happily smiling]  Maybe he still needs us!

  Lampy : Yeah!
