[murmuring]
Thank you, thank you.
I'm so very happy to be back in New Mouse City.
Ooh, uh, Diva Parmezani!
Diva, Diva, over here.
-Do you always wear your Star of Luck? -What do you think of the Parmezani Rose?
One question at a time, please.
My Star of Luck. I never go anywhere without it.
As for the Parmezani Rose, I am honored
-to have a flower named after me. -[Geronimo] Diva Parmezani.
-Diva Parmezani! -Geronimo Stilton.
I'm so happy to meet you in person at last.
I'm such a big fan of yours.
[gasps] You're a fan of mine?
I read all your articles. Can we arrange a private interview? Just you and me?
[stammers]
Private?
I'll call you later.
And now, if you'll excuse me.
[sighs]
[woman] Diva, Diva, over here.
[clamoring]
I'd be delighted.
[mumbles]

-Hey, Uncle G. -What's going on?
The city came to inspect my house. They said I got too much stuff.
They said if he doesn't get rid of it, his house will collapse under all the weight.
-So, can I leave these boxes here? -Yes, go ahead.
What do you think of my tie? Flashy?
I'll be interviewing Diva Parmezani and...
[screams]
-You're interviewing Diva? -Yes, I'm expecting her call.
-I didn't know you liked opera. -I don't. I like fashion.
And Parmezani's got the best clothes.
I'm thinking hand-me-downs. A skirt, a shirt, flip flops. Anything.
I'll see what I can do.
[grumbling]
Wait a second.
[singsong] Geronimo has a crush on the Diva.
Not at all. My interest is professional.
You do seem a little anxious.
Anxious? Oh, no, no. I couldn't be less anxious.
I'm the perfect picture of calm.
In fact...
[phone rings]
[shrieks] It's her! It's her, it's her.
Hello?
-[laughing] -[groans]
-[sighs] Just throw all this stuff away. -Throw it away? Throw it away?
Each object you see here is a treasure.
Every one of these boxes is a treasure box.
Even this?
If I get a swimming pool, this will come in handy.
And this?
I need that to keep out alien brain waves.
-Trap. -I am not throwing anything away.
Stop acting like a baby.
[sobbing] No, no, no.
Oh, I admit it, guys, I have a problem.
Packrat-itis. I just can't stop collecting stuff.
There's only one cure. You have to make a clean break.
You know what? You're right.
We're taking this to the city dump.
-Way to go. -I'm proud of you.
-Huh? -Huh? Look.
Huh?
-[both grunt] -[chuckles]
Hi.
[singing]
[cheering and applause]
Bravo! Bravo!
Yes, bravo!
Bravo!
[speaks in Italian]
Please accept these Parmezani roses as a token of my undying admiration.
Oh, thank you, Teddy.
It's a great honor.
[clears throat] My dear Diva-- No.
Dear Parmezani-- No, no.
Dearest Diva, this is such an honor-- Uh, privilege...
[knock on door]
Come in.
Dearest Diva, this is a great--
Who are you? What do you want?
How did you get past security? I told them no more fans today.
Now, if you don't mind, it's time for my gargling with lemon juice.
Excuse me, where am I?
Uh, the opera house?
Oh. [laughs]
[sniffs]
-Excuse me, where am I? -I just told you, the opera house.
You did? I can't remember.
Hey, is that one of the Parmezani roses? Whoa. [sniffs]
Hey, is that one of the Parmezani roses?
Hey, is that one of the Parmezani--?
Hmm.
[Parmezani] Come in.
Who are you? What do you want?
Don't you remember giving me an autograph just now?
I don't and if you'll excuse me, it's time for my post-concert gargling.
Are you mad?
There's something wrong with these roses. Somehow they're causing temporary amnesia.
[mumbles]
Geronimo Stilton?
I remember now.
The airport. The interview.
[gasps] The Star of Luck. It's disappeared.
It must have been stolen. I bet it has something to do with those roses.
[sobs]
Oh, no. My career is over.
Come, come. It's beautiful, but it's just a jewel.
The Star of Luck is no ordinary jewel.
It's my lucky charm.
All of my success comes from it.
-Without it, I can't sing. -That can't be true.
[voice breaking]
[crying] You see? Without the Star of Luck, I'm nothing.
[stammers]
Don't worry, Diva. I'll get your ruby back.
Would you do that for me?
I'll stop at nothing.
The first thing to do is to question that florist, Teddy Tulips.
[whimpers]
My coconut shell checkers set,
my flat tire collection,
my pizza boxes from around the world,
how can I ever live without them?
We know this is hard, but it's for the best.
Huh? Huh?
-Trap. What--? -Wait here.
I'll be back before you can say "cheddarific."
Open up. Open up.
-Are you the owner? Nutty Ned? -Yes. We're closed.
I know, but I gotta have that witch nose. Please.
As long as you're up, can I check out those lucky charms?
Never mind.
Just the thing to complete my fake nose collection.
Isn't she a beauty?
Trap, the point is to get rid of stuff, not buy new stuff.
I see your point.
[chuckles] Get it? Point?
Hey. My nose.
We're done playing around. This is for your own good.
If you wanna have a house tomorrow, you have to get rid of this stuff tonight.
[groans]
I guess you're right. Let's go to the dump.
My Parmezani roses, flawed? That's preposterous.
They're a masterpiece of perfection. See for yourself.
Hmm. You're right.
The roses and Mr. Tulips have nothing to do
-with the theft of the Star of Luck. -Then who stole it?
I haven't the slightest clue.
But I'm not giving up. I'll find it somehow.
Oh, what if the media finds out that my ruby has been stolen?
I'll have to wear the copy.
That should fool them until we find the original.
You have a copy?
Yes. It's almost indistinguishable from the original.
[clears throat]
Forgive me. You gave me a brilliant idea.
Oh, I'm not so sure about this.
The only reason I'm doing it is that I checked my horoscope,
and it said that today, I should trust mice with red ties.
Hm? Oh. [chuckles]
Don't worry. All you need to do is read this.
Just trust me. Ready?
An attempt has been made to steal my Star of Luck,
but luckily for me, the jewel that was taken is a worthless fake.
The original priceless ruby is kept in a safe deposit box
in New Mouse City's Central Bank.
-You think it'll work? -We'll find out.
[Ben] Hey, this isn't the way to the city dump.
-Uh, sure it is. -We're going back to your house.
[gasps] We are?
Well, as long as we're going to my house, we might as well put all my stuff back.
Trap, stop the car.
-Trap. -Trap.
Oh, I can't do it.
[weeping]
It's okay. Try to be strong.
No!
It's for your own good.
[tires screeching] [horns honking]
No sign of the thief yet. Hopefully, he'll fall for our ploy. [yelps]
What have you done with my ruby? Where is it?
[stutters] What? I...
Please, Diva.
He obviously knows nothing about the ruby. Let him go.
My horoscope said near-sighted mice with bow ties wish me harm.
[tires screeching]
Trap? What on earth is he doing?
Got you.
Nothing personal. I just wanna get my stuff back.
My babies, how can I ever let you go?
It's too late.
Oh, no.
How did it happen? I can't remember a thing.
-The roses again. -What are we waiting for? Let's get him.
Stop the thief!
It's no use. He's far away by now. My plan has failed.
It's my fault.
It's not your fault. It was just a stroke of bad luck.
Bad luck? That's it.
Without the Star of Luck, that's all I can expect.
[crying]
You've been so good to me.
I can't let my bad luck ruin you as it's bound to ruin me.
-Diva. -Shh.
-You don't really believe-- -Don't speak.
Can you believe it?
He's unloaded every single one of his boxes off the garbage truck.
-Hey, coz. How did it go with the Diva? -Her Star of Luck was stolen.
I thought up a plan to catch the thief and guess who ruined it.
-Who? -I'm looking right at him.
[gasps] Benjamin? You're on thin ice, buddy.
No, not Benjamin. You, Trap.
Because of your distraction, the thief slipped away unnoticed.
[sighs] I'm sorry. It's just she's convinced that without the Star of Luck,
she can't sing. Now she's stopped speaking to me.
It's sort of sweet actually. She thinks that her bad luck is contagious.
I know where you can get lucky charms.
-Thanks, but it's not that simple. -Sure it is.
She thinks she has bad luck so give her something lucky.
This place has tons. One of them's bound to work.
Hmm. I suppose it's worth a shot.
How can I help?
Just take your pick.
-You dropped something. -Quite all right. I got it.
Thanks.
Keep him busy. I want to look in that back room.
Why?
That ticket stub. It was for the Diva's concert.
Do you have any stink bombs with extra stink?
Huh? Extra stink?
-How about flavored confetti? -Watch out. That shelf is a bit... wobbly.
Oops.
Hmm.
[honks]
Huh? What's going on in there?
What do you think?
-What are you doing in here? -I'm looking for a jewel.
Perhaps you've seen it? The Star of Luck?
[gasps, then stammers]
-Never heard of it. -There's no use denying it.
I saw the ticket stub. You were at the Diva's recital. And this.
-[gasps] That's air freshener. -Air freshener?
Or Sneaky Joe's temporary amnesia spray? You sprayed the roses with this.
Nose plugs. The same kind you've been wearing.
-Got you. -Let me go.
Where am I?
Trap, stop him.
Take this.
[Ben] Hey, don't!
[both groaning]
[laughs] How do you like my extra-strong party streamers?
-[laughs] I've got it. -But what do you have? A fake?
Nice try.
Where am I?
See? They're not the same color. This one is the fake. We tricked you.
The real Star of Luck is the one you stole from the Diva's dressing room.
[groans]
It figures. I've been cursed with bad luck.
Nothing goes right. I had no choice. Don't you see?
-I had to steal the ruby. -Sir, what you did was wrong.
And there's no such thing as bad luck. It's all in your mind.
Oh, yeah? Then why did I stupidly throw the Star of Luck in a garbage truck
-on my way to the bank? -Garbage truck?.
What are you doing?
-The Star of Luck. -It fell into one of Trap's boxes.
Lucky for us.
Oh, my ruby. You found it.
[singing]
[sighs]
You see? Your voice had nothing to do with luck.
Of course it does.
The Star of Luck is back and so is my voice.
May I? Observe.
[screams]
No fear. This is your real ruby.
The ruby has nothing to do with your voice.
It's all about you and your talent.
You're right. Now I can see that.
How can I ever thank you?
There is something. We could do that interview.
Uh...
I never do interviews on a full moon night. It's unlucky.
Just this once. For you.
[laughing]
The real ruby was recovered and returned to its owner.
As for Nutty Ned, his luck has finally turned.
He just signed a deal to write a book about his life.
He'll have plenty of time to write it in jail.
That's the news for tonight. Geronimo Stilton, signing off.
Oh, Pandora, I almost forgot. I have something for you.
The Diva's hand-me-downs. She wanted you to have them.
[gasps, then sighs]
[Trap] Hello, my inflatable strap-on shark fin. How I missed you so.
My miniature pizza oven. You go right there.
And, oh, remote-controlled robot butler.
Huh? Uh-oh.
[whimpers]
