A Troll in Central Park

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Hey! Watch yourself!

Oh.

Say, what was that?

Eh...

For a minute, I thought I saw one of them... Flower things!

That's a relief.

I'd sure hate to have to tell the queen.

Oh, well... Have a rotten day.

Hello, my pretties. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Daddy's home.

Llort!Ow!

Llort!What is it?

What is that awful smell?Nothing.

Just something from the swamp, my dear.

That I wouldn't mind, but this smells like... honeysuckle.

Shh. I brought something for you.

Ta-da!

Fresh September morning dew from the outside.

Dew just for you.

You know, violet, what this garden needs is a big rosy posy.

Right there. Right there in the middle.

And I'm just the Sweet William... I mean, Stanley, to do it.

Watch.

Ah, that's nice.

You're growing too high!

Oh, please stop, stop! Oh, please...

Would you look at that?

Flower. Uh-oh!

Come with me.

You did this?

Right under the queen's nose?

Ooh.

I hate flowers!

And for your crime,

you are going before the number one flower hater in the land.

Gnorga!

Stone!

Be still!

Stanley, because you have repeatedly... Repeatedly--

Disobeyed?

I am getting there, dear.

Disobeyed and, uh... And violated...

Uh-huh... The code of proper troll behavior,

we have no choice, but to sentence you to, uh... To, uh--

Stone!

Stone?Turn him to stone!

Be still!

With our number dwindling yearly, dearly... I mean, dearie...

Do we really want to be turning him into... You know, into... st...

He is kind, he is good, he is gentle...

And he is giving a bad name to trolls everywhere!

Yes, I know, love lumps. I quite agree.

I won't have him growing any more of those things!

Flowers?

Stone him!

Why not make an example of him?

I know a place, rock and steel, nothing grows.

Nothing. Creatures more troll-like than we are.

Think of it... It will be worse than stone.

It will be slow. It will be painful.

It will be... Just think about what they'll say about you in the newspapers.

Why, it's a shoo-in for the tabloids.

Done!

Ah! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh...

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Please stop!

Oh...

Rock and steel. Rock and steel.

Nothing grows.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh...

Ah...

Wait a minute!

I think there's been some mistake here. Look.

Look at all the green things. Grass, leaves, flowers.

What a place! Why, it's wonderful!

I'm going to like it here!

Hello.

No! Ah!

Hey, see.

Whoo! Whoo! No!

Oh!

Yum, yum.

Oh!

Ooh! Ah!

Hmm.

Aah!

Stop!

Oh!

Oh, oh, ah!

What a place.

It's worse than home.

I... I don't like it here.

Not one bit.

All I ever wanted was a little patch of green.

There. There's my patch.

I'm safe in here, and I'm never going out of this cave...

Ever again.

Hillary, have you seen my briefcase?

In your hand, dear.

Ah...HILLARY: My...

This trial certainly seems to have you rattled.

Nobody's cooperating.

I'll have to work a miracle to win it.

Hmm... Plaid or striped?
