(The white background changes to a town setting. Mr. Uppity is now seen walking down the street to the right)

Narrator: So, of course, in Bigtown, which is where he lived, he had no friends at one. Not one! Miserable old Uppity, they used to call him. And he certainly looked it. Now as well as being rude, Mr. Uppity was also rich. Very rich. One of the richest people in the world. If not THE richest.

Narrator: Said the goblin.

(The camera cuts over to Mr. Uppity)

Mr. Uppity: Go away!

(The camera cuts back over to the goblin)

Goblin: (chuckles cocky)

Narrator: Smiled the goblin.

(The camera zooms in on the goblin)

Narrator: And then he said a magic word, known only to goblins, which sounded like...

Goblin: Wobblygobblygook!

Narrator: Or something like that.

(The scene transitions from a wavy flashback over the Goblin's face to symbolize Mr. Uppity being shrunk down to the viewers)

Narrator: Suddenly, Mr. Uppity started shrinking! He shrank and he shrank until he was the same exact size as the goblin!

(The wavy flashback effect stops and the camera zooms out to show the shrunken Mr. Uppity next to the goblin, with the goblin standing between Mr. Uppity and the tree with the hole in its trunk)

Narrator: Poor Mr. Uppity didn't know what to do,

(Mr. Uppity runs in place for a moment)

Narrator: So,

(Mr. Uppity jumps into the hole in the tree)

Narrator: He followed him.

(The camera zooms in on the hole until the screen becomes black. Then the scene fades to show some red stairs spiraling downwards. The camera follows the stairs)

Narrator: Inside the tree, there was a staircase going down and down. It led,

(The scene transitions to the silhouettes of Mr. Uppity and the Goblin standing in front of the Kingdom of the Goblins)

Narrator: Directly to the Kingdom of the Goblins!

(Mr. Uppity raises his finger up to give an order to the Goblin)

Mr. Uppity: I demand to be taken IMMEDIATELY to whoever is in charge!

Narrator: Said Mr. Uppity angrily.

(The goblin nods yes)

Goblin: Oh, you shall. So, you shall.

(The goblin bows in front of the king again)

Narrator: Bowing low.

(The goblin straightens up)

Goblin: May I present,

(The goblin gestures towards Mr. Uppity)

Goblin: Mr. Uppity.

(The goblin lowers his arm and the camera cuts over to the Goblin King)

Goblin King: Ah.

Narrator: Said the king.

Goblin King: So, you're the fellow who goes about being rude to everybody and doesn't have any friends.

(The camera cuts over to Mr. Uppity)

Mr. Uppity: Rubbish!

Narrator: Said Mr. Uppity rudely.

(The camera cuts back to the Goblin King)

Goblin King: I can see that what I've heard is true!

Narrator: Said the King, looking at the indignant Mr. Uppity.

(The camera starts zooming slowly in to the King of the Goblins as he begins explaining his ultimatum to Mr. Uppity)

Goblin King: You're much too puffed up with your own importance. Therefore,

Narrator: He continued,

Goblin King: I'm going to allow you...to be turned back...to your proper size. But when you get back to Bigtown, if you are rude to anybody....anybody at all....you will immediately shrink, uh to the size that you are now. Do you understand?

(Mr. Uppity and the Goblin then walk back through the hallway full of Mr. Men character portraits. More specifically, the portraits of Mr. Bump, Mr. Topsy-Turvy, and Mr. Happy)

(The camera pans up the winding staircase)

Narrator: And up the staircase,

(The camera zooms out from the hole in the tree to show the goblin waiting for Mr. Uppity outside)

Narrator: And out of the tree in the bottom of Mr. Uppity's garden.

(Mr. Uppity jumps out from the hole in the tree)

Goblin King: The Goblin then looked at Mr. Uppity and said something which sounded like:

Goblin: Koogylbbogylbbow!

Narrator: And Mr. Uppity grew and grew,

(Mr. Uppity grows back to his original size)

Narrator: Back to his original size.

(Mr. Uppity returns to his original size and stops growing. Mr. Uppity looks down at the goblin, the goblin points up at Mr. Uppity, and the camera pans up)

Goblin: Now, you remember what the King said!

Narrator: Warned the Goblin.

Goblin: Don't you be so uppity in future!

Narrator: Mr. Uppity marched furiously! Up to his enormous house!

(The camera zooms into Mr. Uppity's mansion. The next scene shows Mr. Uppity walking with his eye closed in the suburbs of Bigtown)

Narrator: The following morning, Mr. Uppity was out walking through the streets of Bigtown,

(Mr. Uppity walks up to a boy with reddish brown hair, wearing a teal jumper, red and green checkered trousers, yellow socks and red and white shoes playing with a yellow ball)

Narrator: Suddenly he came across a little boy playing with a ball.

(The camera cuts over to Mr. Uppity)

Mr. Uppity: GO AWAY!

Narrator: Snapped Mr. Uppity, rudely. But...as (struggles hard not to laugh) as soon as he said it....y-(giggles) you know what happened don't you?

(The boy, holding the yellow ball, blinks as the camera pans down to his feet, fading to a very small and surprised Mr. Uppity looking up at the boy)

Narrator: Mr. Uppity shrank and shrank, until he was no bigger than the ball that the boy was playing with!

Mr. Uppity: Oh dear!

Narrator: He gasped. And then he thought.

(Mr. Uppity raises his hat)

Mr. Uppity: I'm sorry.

(Mr. Uppity lowers his hat)

Narrator: He said to the boy.

Mr. Uppity: What I meant to say was, please could I get past?

(The camera then pans up to the boy, still standing and holding the ball)

Narrator: Immediately, Mr. Uppity grew to his original size, and the boy moved, and Mr. Uppity went on his way.

(The next scene shows Mr. Uppity walking around a street corner when a little old lady with a shopping basked in hand was walking around the corner and met him)

(The camera cuts to the old woman)

Old Woman: Excuse me.

Narrator: She said to Mr. Uppity.

(The camera zooms in on the old woman's face as she explains her request to Mr. Uppity)

Old Woman: Could you tell me the time, please?

(The camera cuts to Mr. Uppity)

Mr. Uppity: No!

Narrator: Said Mr. Uppity rudely.

(The old lady is very shocked to hear this horrible reply, before the camera pans down to her shoes to represent Mr. Uppity shrinking)

Narrator: (Giggles) But, as soon as he said it, you know what happened, don't you?

(The next scene fades to a small Mr. Uppity looking up at the old lady)

Mr. Uppity: Oh dear!

Narrator: He gasped. And then he thought.

Mr. Uppity: I'm sorry. What I meant to say was...

(Mr. Uppity brings out his pocket watch)

Mr. Uppity: It's twenty-five past eleven.

(The camera zooms out as Mr. Uppity grows back to his original size)

Narrator: Immediately Mr. Uppity grew to his original size,

(The camera zooms in upon the smiling old lady's face)

Narrator: And the old lady thanked him, and Mr. Uppity went on his way.

(Mr. Uppity then goes to a newspaper kiosk)

Narrator: Then he went and bought a newspaper from a man standing on a corner of the main street in Bigtown.

(Mr. Uppity is then shown paying good money for the newspaper as the Newspaper seller gives him his paper)

Narrator: He was just about to walk away when he suddenly stopped and thought.

(Mr. Uppity is shown walking away a few steps before turning around)

Narrator: He turned back to the man and said,

(The camera fades to Mr. Uppity)

Mr. Uppity: Thank you.

(The man selling newspapers is then seen with a small smile on his face)

Narrator: "Thank you" was a word, Mr. Uppity had never used before.

(The man selling newspapers' smile stretches across his face slowly)

Narrator: The man smiled. A smile was something Mr. Uppity wasn't used to getting. "Thank you" was a word Mr. Uppity not only had never used before, but it was a word he'd never had said to him before!

(Mr. Uppity is then shown in his private limousine being chauffeured across Bigtown with a contented smile upon his face)

Narrator: Mr. Uppity smiled! He felt happy! Happy was a feeling Mr. Uppity wasn't used to feeling! And he liked it!

(The next scene shows a silhouette of Mr. Uppity's limousine driving past his mansion)

Narrator: And do you know? From that day forward, to this day backward, Mr. Uppity is a changed person. He's still the richest person in Bigtown, perhaps the richest person in the world! But now he has lots of friends, and he smiles a lot!

(The final scene shows Mr. Uppity smiling contentedly, as he his chauffeured in his limousine across the streets of Bigtown)

Narrator: And he never gets that shrinking feeling. And do you know which two words Mr. Uppity uses most of all these days?

(The camera zooms in on Mr. Uppity as he rides in the limo)

Narrator: "Please", and "thank you."

(Thus ends the story of Mr. Uppity)
