Remember, Grandpa Shortpaw can be a little grumpy sometimes.
He always says my hair's too short.
He always gives me a penny and says, "Don't spend it all in one place."
Yes, well, that's his style. He loves us all very much.
Just don't expect him to be cheery, because he isn't ever.
[Grandpa] Hello.
Hello.
Thanks for meeting me. I'm happy to see you all.
[kisses]
Thea, you're as ravishing as ever.
Oh, your hair looks great.
[chuckles]
Oh, spend it anywhere you want.
Geronimo, have you run my company into the ground yet?
[chortles] Just kidding.
Oh, you're doing a great job, better than I could have done.
I'm proud of you.
Trap, you should exercise more.
-But I look great anyway, right? -No. You should exercise more.
-You all should. -You're looking fit, Grandpa.
[stammers]
I know. Thanks to the fitness plan I've been doing
with my new trainer, Rat Romano.
Here, watch this.
[chuckles]
Impressive, eh?
-Yeah. -Definitely.
But I didn't come here to show you what I'm made of.
I have really big news.
-Are you ready for this? -Yes.
I'm seeing someone. A lady.
-That's great. -Go, Grandpa.
Who's the lucky gal?
-She's joining us for lunch. -[Sally] Hello.
-Why, there she is right now. -Hello.
Huh?

I don't see your girlfriend, Grandpa.
Is she behind that mean-faced witch, Sally Rasmaussen?
[laughing]
She is that mean-faced witch.
I mean, Sally is my girlfriend.
Oh! [kisses]
Hello, darlings.
[chuckles]
Well, what do you think? Is she something or what?
[laughs] There are no words for how happy they are.
-I can think of a few words. -Okay, look.
We've had our differences, but I love your grandpa,
and I know we can put the past behind us and be great friends.
[gibbers]
Well, that's very nice, Sally.
I'm just surprised to see you two together after your, uh, stormy past.
Yeah. Remember when you interviewed for a job at the Rodent's Gazette?
[Grandpa] I'd never hire someone like you.
You're a sneak and a cheat, and you have no morals.
Oh, yeah?
I'd never work for a ridiculous old codger like you anyway. Bah!
[Grandpa] Put down that teapot!
[china breaking]
Don't listen to them, my little Willy-nilly-billy-willy.
Sure, we've had a tumultuous past, but we're two mice who speak our minds.
It's that passion that's drawn us together. Right, Willy-nilly-billy-willy?
Right, Sally-wally.
-Ugh! I think I just lost my appetite. -Oh, me too.
-Really? -No.
I know. Why don't we skip lunch, and go shopping instead?
Huh, shopping? Grandpa? He hasn't bought a new shirt since they invented the wheel.
Not for him, for me.
Why not?
For my Sally-wally, money is no object.
Okay, it's obvious that Sally tricked him into dating her.
That's not necessarily true.
I admit this does seem a bit strange, but love is blind after all.
She's up to something. I'm going to prove it.
-If you're going, I'm going, too. -So am I.
Huh?
-Uh... You got this one, right? -You're kidding, right? I'm a kid.
I can't believe it. Grandpa would never walk into a boutique.
He'd walk in. He just wouldn't buy anything.
Oh, no? Look.
[all gasp]
[Sally moaning]
Yes, a little bit more there.
-Gross. -Gross.
-Are you getting this? -I can't get a good angle.
[both yell]
Taxi.
Oh, Driver, take me to the jewelry store on Manchego Boulevard.
Are you waiting for it to start raining cheese? Step on it.
What about your date?
Eh! Don't worry about him.
You'll be okay, won't you, my little Willy-nilly-billy-willy?
She's totally taking advantage of him. Why does he put up with it?
I don't know, but something's not right.
Come on, let's follow them.
Still think she means well?
-I'm reserving judgment. -Hide before they see us.
Look at the size of that ring.
-What's going on? Did he drop something? -Oh, no.
-You don't think--? -He's not doing what I think he's doing.
[Sally squeals]
[Geronimo] Great Gouda. He just proposed.
-[Trap] They're getting married? -It looks that way.
It makes perfect sense.
First, she marries grandpa, then she takes over the company.
We'll all be working for her.
Look, you can't assume the worst in people.
-Maybe she's changed. -[Sally] Who's changed?
Oh, never mind. Don't really care.
Guess what. We've got big news, everyone.
Sally and I are getting married.
Did you hear what I said? Sally and I are getting married.
[clamoring]
I think it's great. I love weddings.
Big celebrity weddings with lots of low-flying press helicopters
and paparazzi on motorcycles.
Oh, what could be more romantic?
I don't know who's planning this, but I volunteer my services.
-What do you know about wedding planning? -I've crashed lots of weddings.
I know all the best caterers and the best tasting rice to throw.
You couldn't even plan a trip to the next room.
Hey, simmer down, you two. I want Sally to have the best wedding.
To do that we'll need everyone's help. Pandora and Trap will plan the wedding.
-Fine, but you're my assistant. -No. You're my assistant.
-My assistant. My assistant. -You're my assistant. Do what I tell you.
-[Pandora] My assistant... -Geronimo, I'd like you to be my best man.
Uh...
Are you sure you want to get married?
Of course my Willy-nilly-billy-willy wants to. Don't you?
Of course, I do.
Then I'd be honored to be your best man.
Hm...
Ah!
-Bye-bye. So long. -Cheerio. So long.
How could you?
Grandpa is an adult. He can make decisions for himself.
Except he's not making decisions. She's controlling him.
Think about it. How many times has she tricked us, stolen our scoop,
spread nasty rumors, and had us mousenapped?
Fifteen, 16, 17 times this year.
I see. But we can't accuse her if we don't have evidence.
We need to find out what's going on.
If you're right, then we've got to stop that wedding.
Let's talk about the cake. Vanilla with edible flowers.
-And a bear jumps out. -What? No.
You can't keep saying no to everything.
[doorbell rings]
Oh, good. The DJ is here. Come on in.
A DJ? This is a classy event. We are getting a band.
-You said you liked the idea. -That was before,
when I thought you'd say yes to my ideas.
Do you want to hire me or not?
[Trap scratching on turntable]
See? Anyone can do this.
It doesn't take any special skill.
[grunts] Careful. Oh, don't drop my things.
What's all that fitness training for if you can't carry boxes, honestly?
Oh, stay.
Hm...
[Thea imitating older woman] Oh, I couldn't help noticing your fiancé.
He's very distinguished looking.
He looks like he's rich, too. Am I right?
You can tell me. I'll keep it just between us girls.
Geronimo, Benjamin, what are you doing here?
-We have to talk to you, Grandpa. -About the wedding.
We're all very happy for you, of course.
-It's just-- -She's marrying you for your money.
Now, see here. That's my future wife you're talking about.
We're sorry.
We don't want to accuse anybody of anything unless we're sure.
[stammers] Look what you made me do.
Oh. Help me pick all this stuff up before Sally finds out
and makes me walk home.
She makes you walk home?
Sometimes she makes me carry her home.
Keep your tongue in your mouth. We're here for a reason, remember?
Right, but first, we gotta sample the wares.
Oh, ha, ha.
Oh, that's good.
-This is better. -No way it's as good as this. Taste it.
-I don't want it. -'Cause you know it'll prove I'm right.
Give it a taste. You know you wanna.
Ow!
That's the way you wanna play.
[yelps]
Hey.
[chuckles]
Sorry.
[yelling]
[laughing]
[Sally] Oh, my mouse is rich, all right.
He owns the biggest media company in the world.
[imitating older woman] And I bet you'd like that for yourself.
Nice try, Stilton.
I love your grandfather and he loves me,
and there's nothing you can do about it.
Why would I wanna marry someone who would do those awful things?
Oh, my Willy-nilly-billy-willy, are these people bothering you?
Nothing could bother me when you're around.
Pick up those bags and put them in the car, Willy-nilly-billy-willy.
We have a wedding to go to.
Oh! Did I forget to mention that the wedding's been moved up?
It's tonight. Six o'clock sharp. Ta-ta.
Did you order 600 cases of Twirlycurd potato chips?
-You don't think it's enough? -We're not serving potato chips.
It's not classy. I'm canceling the order.
Well, then I'm canceling the flowers you ordered.
Don't you dare.
[both grunting]
Stop it.
-We've got a bigger problem. -The wedding is tonight at 6.
-Six o'clock? -Six o'clock?
Come on. We've got a ton to do if we're gonna pull this off.
[sighs] What are we gonna do? We can't let this happen.
I'm out of ideas.
[sighs]
We're gonna have to get used to calling Sally "grandma."
Grandpa, what are you doing?
Just getting in a cardio workout before the wedding. Sally's idea.
This is my personal trainer, Rat Romano.
How do you do?
I'll be ready in a jiffy. Only five more miles to go. [giggles]
-Care to join me? -Now you must focus.
Perhaps Mr. Stilton should wait outside.
He needs the exercise. All he does is sit at a desk all day.
Come on. It'll do you a world of good.
[Geronimo panting]
You know, we all want you to be happy,
but if you're having hesitations about marrying Sally,
-there's still time to call it off. -Pick up the pace.
No pain, no gain, Willy-nilly-billy-willy.
[panting]
Willy-nilly-billy-willy?
You know, you look awfully familiar.
Oh, no. I'm quite certain we've never met.
Your voice sounds familiar, too.
[yelling]
You're not a fitness trainer. You're Ratswami, the hypnotist.
You are getting sleepy.
But I've never been...
[snores]
You've hypnotized my grandfather into believing he's in love with Sally.
-How's that now? -Nothing, Willy-nilly-billy-willy.
That's why you and Sally keep repeating that funny name.
It's the hypnosis key word.
Willy-nilly-billy-willy.
Come on, snap out of it.
He's still hypnotized. Why?
There must be a different word that breaks the spell.
Good luck figuring out what it is.
Come, Willy-nilly-billy-willy.
Going somewhere, Stilton?
-Bride's side or groom's side? -What do you think, genius?
[gasps]
Ready, Your Honor?
[stammers] I will be once I find my glasses.
Keep Shortpaw under control until we can get this over with.
[Pandora] We did a great job with no time.
-Couldn't have done it without you. -It was all you.
[playing banjo]
I trusted you with one thing. One thing.
Well, I think he sounds pretty good.
-It's starting. -Where's Uncle G?
[grunting]
Just perfect. What's next?
[yells]
[growls]
-Let's get this show on the road. -Very well. Ahem.
We are gathered here today...
Oh, where's Geronimo? We can't start without the best man.
[stammers] Here's your best man, Willy-nilly-billy-willy.
You were saying?
Do you, Sally Rasmaussen,
-take William--? -To be my husband? I do. Are we done?
Terribly sorry. Send me the bill.
-[justice of the peace] Do you... -Willy-billy-nilly-willy.
...William...
What happened to you?
[gasps] That fellow is Ratswami. He and Sally hypnotized grandpa.
-I knew it. -What?
-...take Sally Rasmaussen... -He does. He does.
We need to find the word that will unhypnotize grandpa.
-...to be... -Pancreas. Gutter ball. Highchair.
Feather duster. Minestrone.
-Hurry it up, you old fool. -...your wife...
Leave him alone.
[all grunting]
I can figure this out. What drives you, Sally?
-What's the one thing you crave most? -Oh, say "I do" now.
Scoop!
Where am I?
Why am I wearing this monkey suit?
[gibbering]
And what in the world am I doing with this mean-faced witch?
Willy-nilly-billy-willy.
-Scoop. -Scoop.
Willy-nilly-billy-willy.
Scoop.
Willy-nilly-billy-willy. Willy-nilly-billy-willy.
Scoop, scoop, scoop.
-Oh, hey. -Scoop.
[yelling]
Not so fast.
I was right about you all along, Sally Rasmaussen.
You're a sneak and a cheat with no morals whatsoever.
[sobbing]
I'll take my ring back.
Oh, very well.
[grunting]
Just a second.
It's stuck. I'll have it sent to you.
Oh, no, you don't.
[grunting and yelling]
Sally Rasmaussen's plan to gain control of the Geronimo Stilton Media Group
has been foiled.
[Pandora] All that work
and there isn't even gonna be a wedding. What a waste.
It doesn't have to be.
Everybody, just 'cause the wedding's off doesn't mean the reception is, too.
We've got food, music, dancing.
Everybody, let's party.
[all cheering, and music playing]
Who's gonna pay for all this?
[theme music playing]
