- Hmm.
- Well, I'm off to my
pinochle tourney at the lodge.
Don't wait up.
- Whoa, hold on.
We talked about this, pop.
You promised no more
of these all-nighters.
Remember the last time?
You got so tired, we couldn't
get you out of bed for a week.
It's not healthy
for a man your age.
- A man my age?
Why, I'm as fit as I was when
I was an ensign in the corps.
And back then, we used to
stay up for 15 days in a row.
And we liked it.
- Pop.
- Aw, shucks.
You never let me play
with my friends.
- Pop, you promised.
Remember what you used to
say to me when I was a kid?
If a promise you don't keep,
it will haunt you in your sleep.
And as you lie
beneath your quilt,
You will have a
conscience full of guilt.
- Oh, all right.
I'll be back early.
I promise.
- Have fun, pop.
- [Scoffs]
[Rooster crowing]
[Groaning]
Shh.
[Yells]
[All gasp]
- What was that?
- Oh.
If a promise you don't keep,
it will haunt you in your sleep.
But if it's cards
you like to play,
Then sneak in and sleep all day.
[Laughs]
- Pop, what are you doing up
at this hour?
- Oh, well, i--i
just--
Well, I for one,
am glad you're up early, pop.
Didi and I have decided
to weed the whole yard today.
And now you can help us do it
as a family.
Come on, pop, grab a shovel,
roll up your sleeves,
And bond with us.
- It's grandpa.
- Well...
[Stammers]
I'd love to help you, boy.
But the reason I'm up so early
is that I'm--i'm sick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I woke up with
an upset stomach.
I think I got a bug.
It hurts right here.
Ooh.
[Groans]
- Did you guys hear that?
My grandpa's got a bug
in his tummy.
- Eww.
He ate a bug?
- Wow, he is the bestest
grownup ever.
- I've always liked him.
- Oh, pop.
I'm so sorry you're not
feeling well.
Do you need to see a doctor?
- No, no, no, no, no.
I'm just gonna get
myself up--
Back up to bed
and try sleeping this...
[Groans]
Thing off.
- Well, okay.
I'll bring you some ginger ale
and crackers.
You just take it easy, pop.
- I'm really sorry.
I wish I could, ow, help.
All that work for you.
[Laughs]
And then sneak in
and sleep all day.
[Laughs]
- There you go.
- [Burps]
I was thinking.
Your grandpa eated
a bug, right?
- Right.
- And it getted him sick?
- That's what he said.
- But me and phillip
eated a bazillion bugs,
And we never getted sick.
- Hmm, I guess it must
have been a bad bug.
- Whoa.
There's bad bugs?
- Just when I thought
there was something
I could depend on.
- Well, at least the bad bug
is all the way up there.
And we're all the way down
here where he can't get us.
- Chuckie's right.
If a bug is making
my grandpa sick,
Then we got to go up there
and get it out of him.
- I said that?
Hey, guys, I don't think
that's what I said.
- [Snoring]
- How are we gonna get
that bug out of there?
- Well, let's see.
What would make a bug go from
some place to some place else?
- How about a picnic?
- What do you mean?
- Well, our mommy
taked us to a picnic.
And all the buggies went
from wherever they was
To all over the food.
- But where are we gonna find
the picnic food?
- I still got some old cheese
from that picnic.
- That's great, phil.
What else we got?
- I got a chunk of hot dog
and some cake.
- Hey, you got
anything else in there?
- No, not right now.
- Good going, phil.
Follow me.
- [Snoring]
- [Grunts]
All's we got to do now
is make a picnic
On my grandpa's face,
And the bug will come out
to eat it.
- I don't think this is
a very good idea.
- [Coughing]
- Pop, what's wrong?
- Tastes like I just swallowed
a conflab sweat sock.
- Okay, I'll go down and get
you some fresh ginger ale.
If a promise you don't keep,
it will haunt you in your sleep.
- Aw, phooey.
[Snoring]
- Well, I guess if that bug
isn't gonna come out,
There's nothing else we can do.
Let's go.
- Chuckie's right.
We gotta go in and get it.
- What?
What did i...
[Groans]
- [Snoring]
- Flashlight.
Nose.
Block.
[Gasps]
I see the bug.
It's moving around.
Pliers.
Both: wow.
- Come on, chuckie,
take a look.
It's not scary.
- Oh, boy.
I don't think this is
a very good idea, either.
- [Yells]
- Huh?
- [Coughing]
- What's wrong?
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
- It feels like a lobster's been
shaking hands with my tonsils.
- Your throat looks awful.
That must be one mean bug
you've got in there, pop.
- Bug?
Oh, oh, right, right, the bug.
Yeah, yeah, I guess so.
- Now,
try to get some rest.
And as you lie
beneath your quilt,
You will have a conscience
full of guilt.
- Conflamit.
[Snoring]
- I guess that bug really
doesn't want to come out.
- Oh, I don't know, guys.
I wish I could just go into
my grandpa
And fight that bad bug.
- But you're too big, tommy.
- I know.
Maybe if we could find
something smaller to help us.
- How about another bug?
- A good bug.
- Sure, just like
the reptar movie.
The good monster
always wins.
- Yeah, but that's a movie.
Things never turn out like
they do in the movies.
- Chuckie's right.
All's we gotta do is find
a good bug
And bring it to my grandpa
to fight the bad bug.
- [Sighs]
- Look, your mom and dad
dug us a bunch
Of really good bug holes.
- Here's a good buggy.
- Wait, let's use this one.
It's even better.
- No, it isn't, phillip.
- Yes, it is, lillian.
- Okay, guys,
we'll take them both.
- [Gasps]
Oh, look at that, deed.
The kids are trying to help us.
- They're so sweet.
- Hey,
this little guy's cute.
- Well,
I guess he can go too.
- Eww.
This one's really fuzzy.
- And this one's got lots
of legs.
- Okay, guys, that's enough.
No more good bugs.
- This is ridiculous.
We gots too many.
- You can't have
too many good bugs.
- Ooh, you're coming
with me, mr. Juicy.
- [Snoring]
- [Grunts]
[All grunt]
- Mmm.
- No, lillian, not today.
These bugs gots a job to do.
- Okay, guys.
That bad bug is in my
grandpa somewheres.
And these good bugs
is gonna get it out of there.
- Put the kittypillars up here
in case that bug tries
To escape out of grandpa's ears.
- This guy's big and strong.
It can lead them
into my grandpa.
We'd better get out of the way.
This could get messy.
- [Laughs]
Now, this is a good idea.
- If a promise you don't keep,
It will haunt you
in your sleep.
And as you lie
beneath your quilt,
You will have a conscience
full of guilt.
- I think he's going in.
- Oh!
[Yells]
Help me!
Help me!
[Yelling]
- We did it.
The bad bug's gone.
Grandpa's not sick anymore.
[All cheer]
- Oh, please, please.
I lied, I lied.
I'm not sick.
I was out all night
at the lodge.
I'm sorry.
Oh, that conflabbed poem.
I just want to be able
to sleep again.
Please, please.
I'll pull weeds.
I'll plant weeds.
I'll do anything.
Please, please.
- Uh...
[Laughter]
- Well, that's it, you guys.
We saved my grandpa.
- Yeah.
[Laughs]
Now that he's all better,
can we eat the leftovers?
[Laughter]
- Hot diggety.
That new senior center downtown
is having a bingo night.
Yup, sprout,
your old grandpa has got a date
With lady luck tonight.
- Pop, you can't
go out tonight.
You promised to sit
for the kids.
- Oh.
Oh, right.
I forgot.
Well, that's all right.
You go and have dinner.
The sprouts and I
will be just fine.
- Thanks, pop.
See you later.
- We'll be just fine playing
bingo and the senior center.
[Laughter]
- Come on.
Let's go.
[Humming]
Say, there.
How's a fella get entered
in the big bingo tournament?
- Aw, nuts.

I got you that time.
- No, no, no, mr. Dworzak.

- I've told you before,
no jumping the checkers.
I want you to stay quiet

- How am I supposed to win

That the lady and me
were dating.

I hope they haven't been
making a nuisance of themselves.
- Not at all.
As a matter of fact,
they've been fun.
- Really?
Then maybe you'd like
to come out
For a little ice cream with us.
And you could tell me
all about it.

Why, I believe
