DOESN'T GRANDPA BLOW
HIS TRUMPET GOOD?
YEAH. HE SOUNDS EVEN BETTER
WITH A COLD.
Didi:
ISN'T HE TALENTED?
Stu:
UNBELIEVABLE.
SO GOOD. SO CLEAR.
SOUNDED GREAT.
THAT WAS WONDERFUL, POP.
THOSE NEW DENTURES
MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
YEAH. GLAD I HAD A NEW SET MADE.
DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE PLAYED
WITH THE OLD PAIR.
STILL FEEL FUNNY THOUGH.
MAYBE I'LL TAKE THEM OUT
FOR JUST A SEC
SO I CAN PARTAKE OF
DIDI'S FAMOUS POTATO SALAD.
rPOP, DON'T!
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
THE LAST TIME?
WASN'T MY FAULT DREW KNOCKED
THEM IN THE SPAGHETTI SAUCE.
IN MY DAY, PEOPLE
WATCHED THEIR ELBOWS.
IT WAS THE JELL-O MOLD,
AND YOUKNOCKED THEM IN.
DREW, CHECK IT OUT.
THAT GUY BROUGHT
A GAS-POWERED TURBOBARBECUE.
REALLY?
DO US A FAVOR, POP.
KEEP THEM IN YOUR MOUTH
UNTIL YOU'RE HOME.
[ both gasp]
YOUR GRANDPA
TOOK HIS TEETH OUT.
YEAH. I WISH
I COULD DO THAT.
Chuckie:
ME TOO.
IF YOU DIDN'T
HAVE TEETH
AND YOU BIT YOUR TONGUE,
IT WOULDN'T HURT.
SAY NOW.
I WONDER HOW HE DID IT.
YOUR GRANDPA'S REALLY OLD.
MAYBE HE PULLED ON THEM SO LONG,
THEY FINALLY CAME OUT.
HEY!
UH-OH.
GRANDPA!
ARE YOU EATING JELL-O
WITHOUT YOUR TEETH AGAIN?
I INSIST
YOU PUT THEM BACK, PLEASE.
OKAY, OKAY, DIDI.
THEY'RE NUST BEHIND
THIS BOWL OF SALAF.
HEY! WHERE'S MY TEEF?
DANG FANGS HERE
JUST A MINUTE AGO.
LET'S NOT PANIC.
I CAN'T PLAY MY TRUMPET
WITHOUT MY TEETH.
AFTER ALL, HOW FAR
COULD THEY HAVE GONE?
WHO WOULD WANT THEM?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
HE LOST HIS TEETH AGAIN.
OH, NO.OH, NO.
WHAT WAS THE LAST THING
YOU DID WITH YOUR TEETH
BEFORE YOU LOST THEM?
WELL, I JUST TOOK THEM OUT
TO HAVE A BITE OF THE SALAD
AND THEN
UH-OH.
EWW!
EWW!
EWW!
[ retching]
CHUCKIE, WE'VE GOT TO GET
GRANDPA'S TEETH BACK.
I DON'T KNOW, TOMMY.
SPIKE COULD BE ALL THE WAY
ACROSS THE PARK BY NOW.
IT COULD TAKE TWO,
MAYBE THREE DAYS TO GET THERE.
MAYBE WE BETTER FORGET
ABOUT IT.
FORGET ABOUT IT?
FORGET ABOUT IT?!
WHEN I GET SICK,
WHO TAKES CARE OF ME?
GRANDPA.
WHEN NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO PLAY,
WHO PLAYS WITH ME?
GRANDPA.
WHEN I SNEAK OUT OF MY ROOM
LATE AT NIGH
WHO SLEEPS WITH THE TV ON
SO I CAN WATCH IT?
GRANDPA?
RIGHT.
HE'S THE NEATEST GROWN-UP
THERE IS.
AND NOW, HE NEEDS US.
WE'VE GOT TO HELP HIM.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
MAYBE YOUR GRANDPA
WILL GROW SOME NEW TEETH.
LET'S GO.
[ snarling]
SPIKE!
SPIKE!
SPIKE!
SPIKE!
TOMMY, I SEE HIM.
HE'S OVER
BY THAT DUCK POND.
GOOD BOY, SPIKE.
LET'S GO BACK
TO THE PICNIC, TOMMY.
[ gasps[ gasps]
[ honks]
OR MAYBE WE SHOULD GO
THE OTHER WAY.
[ honks]
[ growling]
[ honks]
[ barks]
[ honks]
UH-OH.
[ growls]
RUN!
UM, NICE DUCKY.
NO, DUCKY!
NO!
HIYA! COME ON, SPIKE.
BUT I DON'T WANT TO RIDE
THE PONY, DAD.
HE MIGHT GO TOO FAST.
[ chuckling]
JUNIOR, THESE OLD BONEYS
CAN BARELY TROT.
NOW, JUST RELAX
AND WE'LL TAKE
ONE LITTLE RIDE
AROUND THE CORRAL, OKAY?
[ growls]
[ whinnying]
WHOA!
HEY!
DON'T RIDE THEM PONIES
THAT-A-WAY.
[ screaming]
COOL HORSE, DAD.
YEAH! COME ON, SPIKE!
TOMMY, HELP!
[ hoofbeats approaching]
THERE'S SOME HORSES
A-COMING.
HUH?
I SAID THERE'S SOME HORSES
A-COMING.
YOU SAY YOUR PORCH
NEEDS NEW PLUMBING?
[ honking]
GOT THEM.
LET'S RIDE.
YEAH, SPIKE!
GIDDYUP!
DIDI, CHECK IN
THE BUCKET OF FRIED CHICKEN.
MAYBE I DROPPED THEM
IN THERE.
IT'S TIME FOR THE CONCERT.
I LOST MY TEETH.
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
LET'S GET THIS THING
STARTED THEN.
[ applause]
[ drumroll]
THEY'RE STARTING, CHUCKIE.
[ band tuning up]
UH-OH.
[ playing
"Star-Spangled Banner"]
[ trumpet playing off-key]
[ trumpet playing off-key]
I LOST MY TEETH.
BRAKE AT THAT TABLE!
BRAKE AT THAT TABLE!
DUCK!
DUCK!
NO, CHUCKIE. WE GOT
UNDER THE TABLE.
NO, THE OTHER TYPE
OF DUCK.
[ honking]
Grandpa:
MY TEETH!
[ playing on-key]
[ music stops]
Man:
YEAH. GREAT.
UH, A UNIQUE INTERPRETATION
OF OUR NATION'S ANTHEM, PICKLES
BUT A STIRRING FINISH.
[ clearing throat]
BOY, BEING OLD IS SCARY.
YOUR TEETH COME OUT
AND GET LOS
AND SOMETIMES,
BIG DUCKS EAT THEM.
YEAH. MAYBE IT'S BETTER
TO KEEP YOUR STUFF
RIGHT WHERE IT IS.
[ gasps]
CHUCKIE, LET ME
SEE SOMETHING.
TOMMY, FORGET ABOUT IT.
[ playing polka]
r[ Tommy humming]
[ gasps]
BEAUTIFUL!
[ giggles]
[ screams]
I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU TALKED ME INTO THIS, DEED.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN SHRINKS.
DR. LEPETOMAINE
IS NOT A SHRINK.
HE'S A HIGHLY RESPECTED
CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST.
I'VE READ HIS BOOKS,
AND WE'RE LUCKY
HE FIT US
INTO HIS SCHEDULE.
THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH TOMMY.
HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?
WHAT TOMMY DID TODAY
PROVES THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE
A PROPER OUTLE
FOR HIS SOCIAL ANXIETIES.
DEED, HE'S A YEAR OLD.
YOU DON'T WANT HIM
TO BE REPRESSED,
DO YOU?
[ laughs]
I JUST WANT TO SAY
THIS REALLY BUGS ME
AND ONCE WE GET IN THERE
I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING.
HERE WE ARE.
HE DRAWS ON WALLS,
LIKE YOU DESCRIBE
IN YOUR BOOK,
YOUNG FOR THE YOUNG.
HMM. I SEE.
I'M THINKING IT COULD BE
NEUROTIC REGRESSION
OR MAYBE AN UNDERDEVELOPED
PSYCHOKINETIC GLAND.
HMM. I SEE.
MAYBE IT'S JUST A CASE
OF MISPLACED TRANSFERENCE.
OH, BROTHER.
IS SOMETHING BOTHERING YOU,
MR. PICKLES?
YEAH, SOMETHING'S BOTHERING ME.
THERE'S NO REASON
FOR US TO BE HERE
I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT DIDI'S TALKING ABOU
AND ALL YOU DO
IS SIT THERE AND SAY, "I SEE."
I SEE.
TELL ME SOMETHING.
IS THERE AN EMERGENCY EXI
OR IS THIS DOOR
THE ONLY WAY OUT?
[ sighs]
TELL ME, MR. PICKLES
WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF
AS A HAPPY MAN?
OH, GEE
I GUESS SO.
I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT
ABOUT IT BEFORE.
I SEE.
[ rock music playing]
[ kids talking in hallway]
OOH.
OOH.
HMM! CONSARNED
NEW-FANGLED CONTRAPTIONS
WITH THEIR WEE BAR HOSES.
GIVE ME A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED
DIRT SUCKER ANY DAY.
I TOLD THEM TO PUT
ONE OF THEM THINGS IN
BUT WOULD THEY
LISTEN TO ME?
NO WAY THEY LISTEN.
I TOLD THEM
TIME AND TIME AGAIN
YOU GOT TO CONSULT AN EXPER
AND I'M AN EXPERT.
[ yells]
HEY!
WOW.

INTO POSITION.
I WANT TO SEE

THAT TOY'S TOP SECRET.
IF WE DON'T GET IT BACK
WE'LL LOSE OUR JOBS.

[ bell rings]
[ speaking gibberish]
WHAT'S GOING ON
IN THIS HERE BUILDING ANYWAY?

MAIL FOR
DR. LEPETOMAINE.
OVER THERE.
NATALIE, WANT TO GO OU
TOMORROW NIGHT?
NOT FOR ALL THE GOLD IN CHINA.
FOR A CHILI DOG,
TWO COKES
AND RAISINETTES?
WHAT TIME CAN YOU PICK ME UP?
AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED
THAT I WAS A LATE BLOOMER.
[ snoring]
I WAS AN UGLY DUCKLING
WHO HAD BECOME A SWAN
A YEAR OR TWO LATER
THAN THE OTHER KIDS.
[ alarm rings]
YOUR 55 MINUTES ARE UP.
I WAS JUST GETTING STARTED.
WHAT ABOUT
MY PSYCHOSOMATIC CRAVINGS?
WE CAN TALK MORE NEXT WEEK
CAN'T WE, MISS PICKLES?
BUT WHAT ABOUT TOMMY?
YOU WERE RIGHT, DIDI.
THAT MAN
IS NOT A SHRINK.
HE'S A A
A GENIUS.
I'M NOT SO SURE
ABOUT HIS QUALIFICATIONS.
DEED, I THINK
BECAUSE OF OUR EXPERIENCE
WITH DR. LEPETOMAINE
WE'VE LEARNED
TO EXPRESS OURSELVES
AND TO COMMUNICATE
WITH EACH OTHER.
AND PAY ATTENTION
TO EACH OTHER
AND NEVER TAKE OUR FAMILY
FOR GRANTED AGAIN.
HMM.
[ Tommy squealing]
HEY!
WHAT'S THAT?
I'VE NEVER SEEN
THAT TOY BEFORE.
THAT OLD THING?
I GAVE IT TO HIM WEEKS AGO.

WILL NEVER LEAVE
THIS BUILDING.
