    "The Human-Powered Aircraft Rhapsody."
[01:23] Momo
    Love, love Minky Momo! That's me!
[01:28] Mama
    What will I do?
[01:30] Mama
    Oh, what a difficult situation...
[01:32] Momo
    Hi, Mama.
[01:34] Momo
    What's got you so down?
[01:35] Mama
    Aunt Audrey asked me for a favor.
[01:38] Mama
    She wants us to serve as the superintendent
    of her apartment complex for one week.
[01:42] Momo
    Superintendent of an apartment complex?
[01:44] Momo
    That sounds fun!
[01:46] Mama
    But your papa's working at the zoo,
    and I have to run the pet shop...
[01:50] Momo
    Hey, hey, Mama! Let me handle it!
[01:53] Mama
    I suppose I could...
[01:54] Mama
    But I feel bad for always
    relying on you, Momo.
[01:58] Momo
    Hey, don't worry about that.
[02:01] Momo
    Consider yourselves lucky to have
    such a loyal and faithful daughter!
[02:06] Mama
    I suppose I should.
[02:07] Mama
    I'll let you handle it, then!
[02:09] Mama
    But are you sure you can handle it?
[02:11] Mama
    Aunt Audrey's apartment complex is full
    of eccentric characters...
[02:16] Momo
    Hey, I'm great with eccentric characters!
[02:18] Momo
    Just leave it to Momo!
[02:24] Momo
    I wonder what kind of eccentric
    characters we'll find there!
[02:27] Sind
    I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
[02:29] Mocha
    Yeah. You've got us with you, Momo!
[02:31] Momo
    I'm not worried at all.
[02:32] Momo
    I love eccentric characters!
[02:35] Momo
    I'm just looking forward to it.
[02:40] Queen
    Can a little girl like her handle being the
    superintendent at an apartment complex?
[02:44] Queen
    I'm so worried!
[02:45] King
    It's all good, it's all good!
[02:46] King
    It'll be a good experience.
[02:48] Queen
    You've been awfully cold of late!
[02:50] King
    I'm not cold! I'm hot! A real hot dog!
[02:57] King
    I'm cooled off now.
[03:04] Sind
    That's a pretty old building!
[03:06] Pipil
    It feels like an apartment complex
    where a family of demons would live!
[03:11] Momo
    I can't wait to see it!
[03:12] Momo
    Let's go!
[03:13] Mocha
    Wait for us!
[03:27] Momo
    Aw.
[03:28] Momo
    It looks a little run
    down, but pretty normal.
[03:31] Momo
    Right?
[03:34] Man
    My head...
[03:37] Man
    Oh, my head hurts!
[03:39] Man
    Look at me!
[03:43] Sind
    That's pretty twisted!
[03:51] Momo
    Ow!
[04:03] Mocha
    Momo! Let's go home!
[04:05] Momo
    Why should we?
[04:07] Pipil
    It's not safe to be a superintendent
    at this apartment complex!
[04:09] Momo
    Really?
[04:11] Momo
    Minky Momo would never run away
    over something that minor!
[04:15] Sind
    I'm not sure if you sound brave or stupid.
[04:25] Momo
    Wh-What the...
[04:27] Pipil
    It must be a poltergeist!
[04:31] Man
    It's no use!
[04:33] Man
    I can't write anything more!
[04:37] All
    Help!
[04:44] Sind
    Good grief!
[04:45] Pipil
    This is the superintendent's office, right?
[04:47] Pipil
    We should be safe here!
[04:49] Pipil
    Who's there?!
[04:50] Momo
    It's me, of course!
[04:52] Mocha
    Oh, no!
[04:55] Momo
    You...
[04:57] Sind
    Well, well...
[04:59] Mocha
    We didn't realize.
[05:00] Pipil
    I feel so ashamed...
[05:02] Momo
    That's a little unreasonable,
    don't you think?
[05:05] Momo
    What is it, Kajira?
[05:09] Man
    Hey!
[05:12] Pipil
    I-Isn't this the fourth floor?
[05:14] Momo
    Y-Yeah... which means...
[05:16] Momo
    A-Are you one of the ghosts?
[05:18] Man
    Ghosts? No way.
[05:23] Man
    Are you the stand-in superintendent?
[05:26] Man
    That's great. You're a real cute little girl.
[05:29] Momo
    I get that you're not a ghost.
[05:31] Momo
    But would you be a burglar,
    then? Or a peeping Tom?
[05:34] Man
    No way.
[05:35] Man
    I'm a proper resident of the building.
[05:38] Man
    I'm Richard Dressing, and
    I live in the penthouse.
[05:41] Man
    A pleasure.
[05:43] Momo
    I'm Minky Momo!
[05:44] Momo
    I'm Ms. Audrey's niece.
[05:46] Richard
    I can't believe that old lady
    has a niece as cute as—
[05:51] Momo
    Look out!
[05:59] Momo
    Hey!
[06:01] Sind
    Got him!
[06:04] Momo
    Oh, no!
[06:06] Richard
    Can you pull me up?
[06:08] Momo
    That's easier said than done!
[06:12] Momo
    Someone help us!
[06:14] Momo
    Help us!
[06:23] Richard
    Thanks, my friend.
[06:27] Richard
    Let me introduce you.
[06:28] Richard
    From the second floor,
    pro wrestler Hulk Morgan.
[06:33] Hulk
    A pleasure.
[06:35] Momo
    Thanks, Hulk!
[06:36] Momo
    You saved our lives.
[06:38] Momo
    But you look so normal...
[06:39] Momo
    Why wear the mask?
[06:42] Richard
    He's got champion-class strength,
[06:44] Richard
    but it's spoiled by his
    baby-face and gentle demeanor.
[06:47] Richard
    So he wears a mask like a luchador
    to help him be more fierce.
[06:53] Man
    Hello!
[06:54] Man
    Excuse us!
[06:58] Richard
    Hey, Marlon.
[07:00] Richard
    You need to stop walking around like that.
[07:02] Marlon
    Oh, sorry.
[07:04] Momo
    It's just a toy?
[07:07] Richard
    This is the actor Marlon Blendo.
[07:09] Marlon
    I'm specializing in murder
    victims these days.
[07:13] Momo
    So you're studying makeup, huh?
[07:14] Marlon
    A pleasure.
[07:15] Momo
    A pleasure!
[07:17] Richard
    And this is Neil Sermon, the screenwriter.
[07:20] Neil
    A pleasure.
[07:21] Momo
    I'm Minky Momo.
[07:22] Momo
    But why does your face look
    so gaunt and ghost-like?
[07:26] Neil
    Writing screenplays really
    takes it out of you...
[07:31] Richard
    Though he's never sold a single one.
[07:34] Neil
    Don't tell her that!
[07:36] Momo
    And what do you do, Richard?
[07:39] Momo
    Why were you climbing the apartment's walls?
[07:41] Richard
    Well, Audrey the superintendent
    locked me out.
[07:45] Momo
    That's awful!
[07:46] Richard
    Well, I hadn't paid my rent in six months,
[07:50] Richard
    so it makes sense.
[07:51] Momo
    Oh, then you're the awful one!
[07:54] Richard
    But it'll be fine now!
[07:55] Richard
    I'll have real money coming in soon,
    so I'll pay off all my rent at once!
[07:58] Momo
    You're not breaking into houses, are you?
[08:01] Richard
    O-Of course not! Don't say things like that!
[08:03] Richard
    I finally have a successful invention!
[08:05] Momo
    You're an inventor, then?
[08:07] Momo
    I'm so curious to see!
[08:09] Richard
    I'll show you, then.
[08:11] Richard
    Come to the penthouse on the roof!
[08:13] Momo
    I can't wait!
[08:15] Momo
    Richard! Where are you going?
[08:18] Richard
    Sorry, force of habit...
[08:25] Richard
    Lady and gentlemen, welcome
    to my inventing shed.
[08:28] Momo
    I can't wait to see!
[08:31] Richard
    Okay, Momo! The key, if you please.
[08:33] Momo
    Here.
[08:36] Richard
    Now I'll reveal it!
[08:37] Richard
    Ta-da-da!
[08:50] Momo
    What in the world is it?
[08:54] Richard
    It's a man-powered aircraft!
[08:55] Richard
    It's a dream plane that will let man
    fly through the sky on his own power!
[08:59] Momo
    Awesome!
[09:00] Neil
    But does that thing really fly?
[09:02] Richard
    Of course! It's a masterpiece!
[09:04] Richard
    If I win the man-powered aircraft
    contest in the city tomorrow,
[09:08] Richard
    I'll be able to pay all our
    back rent, so please help me!
[09:12] Momo
    You all owe back rent?
[09:15] Marlon
    Three months.
[09:16] Hulk
    Four months.
[09:17] Neil
    Five months.
[09:19] Momo
    Aunt Audrey has her hands full, huh?
[09:22] Momo
    Okay!
[09:23] Momo
    As substitute superintendent, I'd
    better make sure it works out!
[09:35] Richard
    Ready to roll!
[09:36] Richard
    Let's have a test flight!
[09:37] Momo
    Hey, hey!
[09:38] Momo
    What's your flight record so far?
[09:41] Richard
    Today's my first try.
[09:43] Momo
    Are you sure it'll be okay?
[09:45] Richard
    Everything has to start somewhere.
[09:48] Momo
    But what if you fall?
[09:50] Richard
    Hey, Marlon.
[09:51] Richard
    Have you ever refused to get up on stage
    because you're afraid of flubbing a line?
[09:55] Marlon
    No way!
[09:56] Marlon
    When opening night comes,
    I always give it my all!
[09:59] Richard
    Hulk, you go into every day of training
    feeling like you have to win, right?
[10:02] Hulk
    You said it!
[10:04] Richard
    If you were afraid of getting published,
[10:06] Richard
    your masterpiece would never
    become a film, right, Neil?
[10:09] Neil
    That's right. Give it your best, Richard.
[10:12] Neil
    If you make your dreams come
    true, it'll give us all hope.
[10:15] Momo
    Dreams... hope...
[10:17] Momo
    Such wonderful words!
[10:19] Neil
    Richard, if you manage to
    fly through this blue sky...
[10:25] Neil
    You'll be taking our back
    rent along with you!
[10:28] Momo
    Oh, gosh!
[10:30] Momo
    Well, as Superintendent Momo,
    I should probably be happy!
[10:34] Richard
    Okay, I'm counting on you guys!
[10:36] Hulk
    Okay, let's go!
[10:42] Hulk
    One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two!
[10:45] Hulk
    One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two!
[10:52] Richard
    Great! That's the way!
[10:53] Momo
    Are we actually helping at all?!
[10:56] Sind
    We might be holding him down!
[10:58] Hulk
    One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two!
[11:01] Hulk
    One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two!
[11:05] Richard
    Go!
[11:08] Richard
    I did it!
[11:09] Momo
    He took off!
[11:11] Both
    He did it!
[11:11] Hulk
    Yeah!
[11:12] sign
    Fairy Princess
[11:12] sign
    Minky Momo
[11:26] Momo
    Oh dear, oh dear!
[11:46] Momo
    Richard! Keep trying!
[11:52] Cop
    Huh? What's that thing?
[12:01] Cop
    This is outrageous! Get back here, you!
[12:17] Cop
    Darn you...
[12:18] Cop
    Now I'm mad!
[12:22] Cop
    Hold it!
[12:23] Cop
    Hey! Get back here!
[12:25] Richard
    Not good!
[12:29] Cop
    Wait, wait! Wait, you!
[12:32] Cop
    You won't escape!
[12:34] Cop
    Wait! Wait!
[12:37] Cop
    Hey!
[12:41] Richard
    I'm flying!
[12:46] Momo
    He did it!
[12:47] Momo
    How lovely!
[12:55] Momo
    Awesome!
[12:57] Cop
    Wait, you!
[12:58] Hulk
    Huh?
[12:58] Momo
    Who was that?
[12:59] Hulk
    A policeman?
[13:01] Marlon
    That was weird.
[13:02] Neil
    Yeah...
[13:09] Richard
    If he arrests me now, I won't be
    able to do the contest tomorrow!
[13:13] Cop
    Wait, you!
[13:19] Richard
    Perfect!
[13:23] Cop
    You won't escape!
[13:37] Cop
    You're under arrest!
[13:43] Marlon
    Help me!
[13:45] Cop
    What the...
[13:46] Marlon
    Someone got me...
[13:48] Momo
    He's dead!
[13:50] Cop
    That's awful!
[13:51] Cop
    Hey, I'm gonna arrest you later!
[13:53] Cop
    Just wait there!
[14:01] Richard
    Thanks, Momo.
[14:06] Richard
    I'm a really bad swimmer!
[14:15] Richard
    Thanks, Hulk!
[14:17] Hulk
    Let's get out of here while Marlon
    and Momo are distracting him!
[14:26] Marlon
    Peace!
[14:27] Momo
    Peace!
[14:36] Richard
    The test flight was a big
    success, but I'm done for.
[14:40] Momo
    How come? You won't know
    until you try, will you?
[14:43] Richard
    The mechanisms are all intact.
[14:45] Richard
    But...
[14:47] Richard
    I'm out of paper to cover the wings.
[14:49] Momo
    But you can get paper, right?
[14:51] Richard
    It's special paper, thin but strong.
[14:54] Richard
    And I'm completely broke!
[15:00] Richard
    That's it! If I had more of this paper...
[15:07] Neil
    I've got way more where that came from.
[15:09] Richard
    Neil! Where'd you get this paper?
[15:12] Neil
    It's typewriter paper.
[15:14] Neil
    I was hoping to write a grand
    spectacle epic someday,
[15:17] Neil
    so I saved all this paper up, but...
[15:21] Richard
    Thank you, Neil.
[15:23] Richard
    This will let me enter
    tomorrow's contest.
[15:25] Momo
    Yeah! That's great!
[15:37] Momo
    It's done! Now, in celebration...
[15:39] Momo
    Hooray!
[15:41] Momo
    Richard?
[15:42] Momo
    What's wrong?
[15:43] Richard
    I-I'm fine.
[15:45] Momo
    You're burning up!
[15:47] Momo
    Because you spent so much
    time in the water, I bet...
[15:49] Richard
    I-I'm fine, I swear.
[15:51] Momo
    No, you need to focus on
    recovering from your cold.
[15:56] Richard
    But nobody else can fly the plane!
[15:59] Neil
    I'll do it.
[16:01] Richard
    No, it needs more leg
    strength than it appears.
[16:03] Richard
    Sorry, but you can't do it, Neil.
[16:05] Neil
    Oh...
[16:06] Hulk
    But then...
[16:07] Richard
    You're too heavy.
[16:09] Momo
    I know!
[16:11] Momo
    I know a professional
    man-powered aircraft pilot!
[16:15] Richard
    What? A professional
    man-powered aircraft pilot?
[16:17] Momo
    Yeah! Just wait here.
[16:26] Momo
    Hey, Sindbook.
[16:28] Momo
    What job would be best suited for a
    professional man-powered aircraft pilot?
[16:32] Mocha
    You don't actually know?
[16:34] Momo
    I had to say it, or they'd get depressed
    and never pay their back rent!
[16:39] Pipil
    How mature!
[16:41] Pipil
    You're a professional superintendent,
    without even transforming!
[16:44] Sind
    That's right!
[16:45] Sind
    If you need good leg strength, a
    competitive cyclist would be the way!
[16:49] Momo
    Okay, let's do it!
[16:54] Momo
    Pipiruma Pipiruma Puririnpa!
[16:56] Momo
    Papareho Papareho Doriminpa!
[16:58] Momo
    Become a competitive cyclist
    with an adult touch!
[17:22] Momo
    Will that do?
[17:28] Neil
    I think the contest is starting.
[17:29] Neil
    We're gonna miss the deadline!
[17:31] Richard
    I'll fly it after all.
[17:33] Neil
    Hang on! Let's trust Momo.
[17:35] Hulk
    Yeah, that's for the best.
[17:37] Richard
    But what even is a professional
    man-powered aircraft pilot?
[17:40] Momo
    Hi! Sorry for the wait!
[17:49] Momo
    My little sister asked me to come.
[17:51] Momo
    So, where's the machine?
[17:53] Momo
    Is that it?
[17:56] Momo
    Hey, this is quite a nice machine.
[18:00] Richard
    Hey, are you sure you can handle this?
[18:03] Momo
    Don't worry. Just believe in me.
[18:05] Momo
    Hang gliders, minicopters,
    giant kites, blimps, et cetera:
[18:09] Momo
    I've mastered every one of them.
[18:14] Neil
    Let's trust her, Richard.
[18:16] Hulk
    Yeah, we don't have much time!
[18:18] Momo
    No worries. I'll fly it from here!
[18:33] Momo
    Okay, here I go!
[18:36] Marlon
    We're counting on you, miss!
[18:38] Momo
    Later!
[18:48] Momo
    Go!
[18:58] All
    Yeah!
[19:00] All
    She did it!
[19:02] Sind
    Sheesh, that girl scares the life out of me!
[19:04] Momo
    Nice, it worked!
[19:06] Momo
    Classic Momo.
[19:15] Man
    Registration's almost over, and we haven't seen
    a single decent invention, Mr. President.
[19:19] President
    I suppose man-powered flight
    remains a distant dream.
[19:23] President
    It's so sad!
[19:24] Man
    What's that there?!
[19:29] President
    Th-That's...
[19:30] Momo
    Hello, ground-dwellers! Good morning!
[19:38] President
    Look! It's the man-powered
    aircraft I've always dreamed of!
[19:40] President
    You win the contest!
[19:53] Marlon
    Well done, Richard!
[19:57] Richard
    Marlon! You're out already?
[20:00] Marlon
    Yeah. I got a good talking-to, though.
[20:05] Richard
    My dream is finally flying through the sky!
[20:08] Richard
    It's your turn next, guys.
[20:10] Marlon
    I'll do my best.
[20:12] Neil
    My creative juices are flowing!
[20:15] Hulk
    Yeah!
[20:22] Momo
    Marlon Blendo.
[20:24] Momo
    He got the lead in the play "The Flautist
    Under the Sky" and it was a big hit.
[20:28] Momo
    He's the most popular and skilled
    actor in the world right now!
[20:33] Momo
    Hulk Morgan.
[20:34] Momo
    He took off the mask and moved
    to a strong good guy style.
[20:37] Momo
    He won the championship to decide
    the world's strongest wrestler,
[20:40] Momo
    and he's still the real world champion.
[20:43] Momo
    Neil Sermon.
[20:44] Momo
    Based on these events,
    he wrote a screenplay for
[20:46] Momo
    "The Pink Girl and the Flying
    Machine," won an Academy Award,
[20:50] Momo
    and immediately became an
    in-demand screenplay writer.
[20:53] Momo
    Richard Dressing.
[20:54] Momo
    While testing out his new
    man-powered aircraft,
[20:57] Momo
    he fell off.
[20:59] Momo
    He's currently in bed
[21:01] Momo
    thinking up ideas for a man-powered
    200-passenger jumbo jet, I bet!
