Transcript
Narrator: "Tweedledum and Tweedledee are twins, and have arrived from Wonderland to help Mickey Mouse, but only one man had been expected. The twins meant well, but did cause confusion. Mickey had given them numbers; Tweedledum 9, and Tweedledee 10, but he was still planning to send one man home.

There was a grasshopper named Hopper in the yard that had taken a dislike to Tweedledee. Things always went wrong when he had to take him out. His deliveries were late, and he was blamed. Tweedledee began to worry.

Tweedledum, his twin, was angry."

Tweedledum: "You're a muckle nuisance!"

Narrator: "Said Tweedledum."

Tweedledum: "It's to leave you behind I'd be wanting!"

Hopper: "You can't."

Narrator: "Said Hopper."

Hopper: "I'm essential."

Tweedledum: "Ach! Are you?"

Narrator: "Tweedledum burst out."

Tweedledum: "You're nothing but a screechin' and a noise when all's said and done. Spite Tweedledee, would you? Take that!"

Hopper: "Oh! Ow ow!"

Narrator: "Cried Hopper."

Tweedledum: "There's more coming, should you misbehave."

Narrator: "Hopper behaved better after that. Until one day, Tweedledum had an accident.

The road was slippery. He couldn't stop in time."

(CRASH!)

"Mickey was most annoyed."

Micky Mouse: "I am disappointed, Tweedledum. I did not expect such, um... clumsiness from you.

I have decided to send Tweedledee back and keep you."

Tweedledum: "I'm sorry, sir."

Narrator: "Said Tweedledum."

Mickey Mouse: "I should think so, too. You have upset my arrangements. Now Kuzco will have to help with the goods work, while you are mended. Kuzco won't like that."

Narrator: "Mickey was right. Kuzco grumbled dreadfully."

Tweedledee: "Anyone would think,"

Narrator: "Said Tweedledee."

Tweedledee: "That Tweedledum had his accident on purpose.

I heard tell about an emperor and some tar barrels."

Kuzco: "Shut up!"

Narrator: "Said Kuzco."

Kuzco: "It's not funny!"

Narrator: "He didn't like to be reminded of his own accident."

Tweedledee: "Well, well, well,"

Narrator: "Said Tweedledee,"

Tweedledee: "Surely, Kuzco, it wasn't you. You didn't say!"

Narrator: "Kuzco didn't say. He slouched sulkily away."

Hopper: "He's cross."

Narrator: "Snickered Hopper."

Hopper: "We'll try to make him crosser still."

Grasshoppers: "Hold back!"

Narrator: "Giggled the other grasshoppers to each other.

Kuzco did his best, but he was exhausted when they reached Milo's station.

Luckily, Tweedledee was there."

Kuzco: "Help me up the hill, please." (Pant)

Narrator: "Panted Kuzco."

Kuzco: "These grasshoppers are playing tricks."

Tweedledee: "We'll show them!"

Narrator: "Said Tweedledee.

Slowly but surely, the snorting Disney Characters forced the grasshoppers up the hill, but Kuzco was losing strength."

Kuzco: "I can't do it! I can't do it!"

Tweedledee: "Leave it to me!"

Narrator: "Shouted Tweedledee.

The guard was anxious."

Guard: "Go steady! Hopper's breaking!"

Narrator: "Hopper was in pieces.

No one had been hurt, and soon Milo came to clear the mess. Mickey Mouse was on board."

Mickey Mouse: "I might have known it would be Tweedledee!"

Narrator: "He said."

Milo Thatch: "Tweedledee was grand, sir."

Narrator: "Said Milo."

Milo Thatch: "Kuzco had no strength left, but Tweedledee worked hard enough for three. I heard him from my yard."

Mickey Mouse: "Two would have been enough."

Narrator: "Said Mickey."

Mickey Mouse: "I want to be fair, Tweedledee, but... I don't know. I really don't know."

Narrator: "Mickey was making up his mind about something. But that's another story."
