Golly Mr. Grumpy's Smiling




 * [In Mr. Grumpy's bedroom his alarm clock rings. Mr. Grumpy yawns angrily.]
 * Narrator: Just like every morning, Mr. Grumpy has woken up in a bad mood.
 * [He gets out of bed and opens the curtains. He notices the sun shining.]
 * Mr. Grumpy: Hmph. Same old blue sky. How boring.
 * [Outside, Little Miss Sunshine walks along the street. Mr. Rush stops his car next to her and doffs his hat.]
 * Mr. Rush: Please, Miss Sunshine. After you.
 * Little Miss Sunshine: Thank you, Mr. Rush.
 * [Miss Sunshine walks across the road.]
 * Mr. Grumpy: [Annoyed] Soon as the sun shines, they all think they have to be in a good mood.


 * [A moment later, he opens the fridge and picks up a bottle.]
 * Mr. Grumpy: Bleugh. Chocolate. Get more chocolate. What a pain.
 * [Holding the bottle, he walks out. A worm greets him. However, he sticks his tongue out, scaring the worm back into his hole.]
 * Narrator: You see? He's not just grumpy by name but grumpy by nature. Here's Mr. Strong, Mr. Happy and Little Miss Sunshine.
 * [Mr. Grumpy stands at the back of the queue. He stamps on his foot.]
 * Mr. Grumpy: And what's more, I have to queue.
 * Little Miss Sunshine, Mr. Strong and Mr. Happy: [Excitedly] Hello, Mr. Grumpy!
 * Mr. Grumpy: Have you all come shopping at the same time as me on purpose or what?
 * Little Miss Sunshine: I'll give you, Mr. Grumpy.
 * Mr. Happy: [Laughs] Go ahead, Mr. Grumpy. I've all the time in the world!
 * Mr. Strong: So have I!
 * Mr. Grumpy: Haven't they got anything better to do?
 * [Mr. Grumpy walks to the cashier.]
 * Cashier: Now, what can I do for you, Mr. Grumpy on such a lovely day?
 * Mr. Grumpy: What's lovely about it?! [Bangs his bottle on her desk.] Give me a pint of milk, and make it snappy.
 * [She brings out a full bottle from under the desk.]
 * Cashier: Here, Mr. Grumpy.
 * [He shows the cash to the cashier and investigates the bottle.]
 * Mr. Grumpy: Are you sure it's fresh?
 * Cashier: [Shrugs her shoulders] Fresh since morning.
 * [Mr. Grumpy walks out onto the pavement.]
 * Mr. Strong: Goodbye, Mr. Grumpy! Have a nice day, Mr. Grumpy!
 * Little Miss Sunshine: Goodbye, Mr. Grumpy! Have a nice day, Mr. Grumpy!
 * Mr. Grumpy: [Annoyed, to himself] Hello, Mr. Grumpy! Have a nice day, Mr. Grumpy! Why are they all in such a good mood?!
 * [He bangs into a lamp-post and drops his bottle. It breaks and the milk spills out.]
 * Mr. Grumpy: [Angrily] My milk! Now look what's happened! And all because of those happy idiots!
 * [Little Miss Magic appears in-front of him.]
 * Little Miss Magic: What on earth is wrong, Mr. Grumpy? You can be heard from miles around!
 * Mr. Grumpy: [Angrily] What's wrong, Miss Magic? What's wrong? I'm fed up with this town, and of all the silly fools that smile all the time!
 * Little Miss Magic: Do calm down, Mr. Grumpy. I can see to that if you like.
 * Mr. Grumpy: [Angrily] Hmph. And just how may I ask?
 * Little Miss Magic: Wait and see.
 * [She disappears.]


 * [The screen fades to the next scene. Miss Magic rides a flying carpet across town.]
 * Little Miss Magic: Grumpy! Grumpy! Everyone be grumpy!
 * [Miss Sunshine is watering her garden. However, the magic power stops the water flowing and one of her flowers changes colour and dies. While Mr. Happy is sleeping on his hammock, the magic power changes his mood to a more miserable look. Mr. Strong is sat on the table with a meal. He licks his lips and prepares a bite until the magic power turns his meal cold, making him upset.]


 * [The next morning, Mr. Grumpy's alarm clock rings. He yawns angrily.]
 * Narrator: The next day, as usual, Mr. Grumpy woke up in a bad mood!
 * [He opens the curtains. Rain falls.]
 * Mr. Grumpy: Hmph. Raining today. That's all I need.
 * [He walks out in the rain. The worm pops out and sticks his tongue at him, surprising him. He walks along the pavement. At the end of the road, Mr. Rush stops his car and angrily stares at him. Mr. Grumpy spins on the spot.]
 * Mr. Rush: Look out! Can't you look where you're going?!
 * [Mr. Rush angrily dashes off, leaving a cloud of smoke in front of him. Holding on to the bottle, he carries on towards the shop and walks to the front the queue, angering the Mr. Men and Little Miss waiting. He presents his bottle to the cashier.]
 * Mr. Grumpy: Pint of milk, and be sure it's fresh.
 * Mr. Strong: [Angrily] Hey! [Mr. Grumpy turns round] I was here first!
 * Mr. Happy: [Angrily] So was I!
 * Little Miss Sunshine: What a way to behave. Get in the queue!
 * [Mr. Happy snaps. Mr. Grumpy is speechless and surprised by their reactions, but still doesn't move.]
 * Mr. Strong: Just wait till I get my hands on you you bad-tempered fellow!
 * [Mr. Grumpy finally moves away from the queue.]


 * [He is back at home sat on the sofa. Little Miss Magic appears.]
 * Little Miss Magic: Now, Mr. Grumpy. I was only trying to do you a favour. You said that you were sick of happy people.
 * Mr. Grumpy: [Mumbles] I've changed me mind. I'm... I prefer them as they were.
 * Little Miss Magic: As you wish.
 * [The clouds break up and the sun comes out. The rain stops outside Miss Sunshine's window and Mr. Happy's hammock. Miss Magic's magic power regrows Miss Sunshine's flower and dries the water off Mr. Happy's hammock. He bounces up and down in excitement and runs outside. Her magic power also heats up Mr. Strong's meal. He licks his lips and prepares to eat. Meanwhile, Outside, Little Miss Sunshine walks along the street. Mr. Rush stops his car next to her and doffs his hat.]
 * Narrator: At last, everything is back to normal.
 * Mr. Grumpy: Hmph. That's much better.
 * Narrator: [Excitedly] Quick, take a look...
 * [Whilst still frowning, Mr. Grumpy's mouth turns happy.]
 * Narrator: ...This is probably the first time you'll ever see Mr. Grumpy smile...
 * [Mr. Grumpy's mouth turns sad again.]
 * Narrator: [Laughs] ...And it's probably the last!
 * [He looks at the viewer and cheers. The screen fades to black and the credits appear.]
