The Gremlins Complete Text

Stuffy's jaw dropped. He looked at the gremlin, then he looked at Gus, and then he looked at the gremlin again. The gremlin just stared at Stuffy, with a "so-you've-never-heard-of-me" look on his wrinkled, rather vinegary brown face. He had a strawberry nose which looked like the moon through a telescope, and his head, with its stubby horns, was as bald as could be. Obviously, he was a very old gremlin.

He was wearing a little red bridge jacket, with a pair of well-cut corduroy trousers to match, and on his head, tilted at as much of an angle as his horns would allow, was a green derby. And of course he had on his shiny black suction boots.

Then he spoke, and his voice was surprisingly deep and hoarse.
