[bunniefuu]

[ Snoring]

[ Gasps]

[ Kids laughing]

[ Child grunts]

[ Children giggling]

[ Both laughing]

[ Whizzing]

[ Gasps]

[ Hammering]

Looks like someone's
finally taken

The paytons' place.

Nobody mentioned
the house being built

On indian burial ground.

Oh, betty,
that's just a myth.

Tell that

To the paytons.

Somebody's taking
the paytons' place.

That's too bad.

We got to stop them.

Hey, tommy...

Yeah?

Who are the paytons?

I don't know.

Didi:
thanks for
the info, betty.

Talk to you later.

Oh, stu, the new
neighbors are here.

We should go over and say hello.

But I never have anything
to say to strangers.

Guess what the
husband does.

What?

Dummi bearswriter.

They're my favorite cartoon!

Let's go.

Stu:
I still don't know about

This jell-o.

Stu, it's a tradition.

You always give
jell-o molds

To the new neighbors.

Yoo-hoo, anybody home?

It's your new neighbors.

Nice place.

Too bad it's cursed.

Oh, stu.

Hey, pal, move it
or lose it.

Sorry.

[ Men grunting]

You must be
the plumber.

Thank goodness you're here.

Actually,
we're the pickles

From across
the street.

[ Laughing:]
oh, hi.

Did you know
this house is on a...

A very strong
foundation!

I mean, people talk.

It doesn't
mean anything.

Oh, nice lamp.

It's the curse.

I'll make
another one.

You made that lamp?

A couple of years ago

I got into recreating
tiffany lamps.

It's so perfect.

It was.

Thanks, that's what
tiffany said, too.

I'm lucy carmichael.

I'll introduce you
to the family.

This is my husband...

Randy "dummi bear"
carmichael?

It's an honor, sir.

I love your show.

Gee... Thanks.

The one I
really loved

Had zippo giving a valentine
to mongo the bad.

Um, randy prefers
not to talk

About the show.

Just one question--

Who drew their
heart faces?

Uh, I got to move
some stuff.

Remember when gummo and binky
saved all the mopey boys?

That was pure genius.

[ Giggling]

[ Children shouting]

These are the kids:

Buster, alissa,
edwin and...

Susie.

I want my sucker!

You know that's
not the way

To get what you want.

Oh, my, what a nice jell-o mold.

Come on, let's put it
in the fridge.

Susie [ bawling]:
I want it!

I want my...

Hi, my name's susie.

What's yours?

Tommy.

Hi, tommy.

Want me to show you
our new house?

But what about
your sucker?

That's not important
right now.

Come on.

Lucy:
our neighbors

Have been so nice.

I've never had so much jell-o.

Mrs. Deville gave us this one.

Patty o'reilly
sent this one over.

And old mr. Philabaster
made that one.

We may not be eating
that one right away.

Oh, who made that one?

I picked that up
at the cordon bleu.

You studied at the cordon bleu?

I was a guest
lecturer, actually

But it's never too late
to learn, right, didi?

Oh... Yes... Of course.

This is our living room.

The movers moved our
old house over here.

Really? Wow.

[ Children shouting]

Those are my
big brothers

And that's my
big sister.

They moved them
here, too.

[ Glass breaking]

Hey, ed!

What's "fra-gee-lay" mean?

Susie:
and this is the den.

They brought it from
the old house, too.

Even the floor?

Yup, even the floor.

Wow, you sure have
a fun house, susie.

Yeah, and you haven't even seen
the best room of all-- my room.

Come on!

It's got my bed,
and my toy box

And my rocking horse

And my circus lamp

And my balloon wallpaper
and my window.

It's the bestest room
in the whole... [ Gasps]

This is your room?

This isn't my room!

Where's my bed?

And my toys?

Where's my window?

Where's my room?

Don't worry,
susie.

Maybe they put it
somewhere else.

That's it, tommy.

They put my room
someplace else.

Come on.

Maybe my room's in here.

Um, kind of small,
isn't it?

That's a stairs.

This is it
for sure.

Your room is a potty?

Lucy:
landing at o'hare is tough

Because of the lake reflection.

Goodness, getting
your pilot's license.

How did you find the time?

I'll tell you--

After college, the peace
corps and med school

Earning my wings
was a cinch.

Mommy! I can't
find my...

Not now, sweetie.

Mrs. Pickles and I
are very busy.

But mommy, I can't find my...

Susie, we talked
about this before.

That's
bad manners.

But, but...

Susie...

Take tommy
and go play.

[ Sighs]

[ Man straining]

Daddy!

When daffy bear

Dances the dance
of the lemon people

I laughed, I cried.

Daddy, daddy!

In a second, babe.

No, no, no, you got to lift
from your knees.

But daddy...

Not now, susie, please!

[ Randy grunting]

I just got
to find my room!

Wait, I got a idea.

You do? What is it?

Well, why don't you
just go to sleep?

Lots of times, when I
go to sleep somewheres

I wake up and
I'm back in my room.

It's crazy, but it
just might work.

[ Snoring]

Tommy...

Yeah?

This isn't working.

Oh.

I know-- let's leave
a toy in the room.

What?

Lots of times

When I leave my
toys on the floor

I come back later
and they're gone.

Then when I
look in my room

There they are.

So if we leave a toy
and watch it

We'll find out if it
ends up in my room?

Maybe.

Hey, susie...

Yeah?

I don't think it's leaving.

Meeither.

It's no use,
tommy.

[ Starts to cry:]
I'll never find my room.

Hey, susie, wait.

[ Yells]

[ Crashing]

I can't believe
I had my room this morning

And now it's gone!

Maybe your parents
left it.

They had to bring it.

They packed it up
and put it in the truck

And they... That's it!

It's still in the truck.

There's the moving truck, tommy.

But I'm not allowed
to go to the front yard

Without a grownup.

There's a grownup.

Let's go.

Ed, how do they get
them little m's

On the m&m's, huh?

It's up there, tommy,
I know it.

My whole room
is up there.

Come on!

[ Both panting]

Hurry, tommy.

I can't wait
to show you...

Where is it?

Oh, no,
it's not here!

Uh-oh.

My room, my room!

I'll never see it again.

Where will I sleep?

What will I play with?

I'll have to live
in the laundry room!

Don't cry, susie.

You could come over and
play with me in my room.

It's not the same!

A kid has to have her own room--
somewhere to keep her stuff

And to go when
she wants to play...

[ Both gasp]

[ Both crying out]

[ Men grunting]

What's going on, susie?

I don't know.

[ Men straining]

Susie:
I think it stopped.

[ Doors creak]

Tommy, tommy!

Look!

It's my room,
it's my room!

They didn't
forget it after all!

Both:
yay!

[ Clattering]

So long, lucy, bye.

Bye, randy,
see you tomorrow.

I want to talk about
that lost episode.

Remember when
the realtor told us

About that indian curse?

Mm-hmm.

Think he's it?

Randy!

Just a thought.

Bye, tommy, thanks.

[ Tires squeal]

[ Wheels squeaking]

Tommy's going
to love this.

The kiddy karnival is
a home amusement park.

"Some assembly required."

Are you sure you have
time today, stu?

Didi, I make toys for a living.

I can slap this thing together
in... No... Time.

Uh-oh.

Look at the instructions first.

It should be lovely
when it's done.

Can't be that
complicated.

[ Parts clanking]

[ Pants]

Spike, come back
with that... Thing!

[ Spike barks]

Ah.

Huh?

[ Engine starts]

[ Tires squeal]

Tommy:
vroom...

[ g*ns engine]

[ Tommy imitating engine]

Announcer:
in the lead, young
tommy pickles.

Ladies and gentlemen,
this baby is a real contender.

Didi:
tommy... Tommy!

[ Tires screech]

Tommy! There you are.

I bet you just
can't wait

For daddy to build
you kiddy karnival.

Stu:
that crazy dog.

He ruined that thing.

There anything else
in that box?

I doubt it.

Oh, thank goodness.

I'll take this trash out.

[ Door opens]

[ Starts sobbing]

Hiya, chaz.

The kiddy karnival, huh?

Bob jackson bought one
two months ago.

How was it?

Last I heard

He was still trying
to assemble the thing.

Stopped eating,
stopped sleeping.

Lost a lot of weight.

See you
later, stu.

Hmm, right.

Hey, this is just what I need.

[ Tommy wails]

[ Door shuts]

What's the matter
with tommy?

I have no idea.

He was just fine
a minute ago.

I'll be right
back, chuckie.

[ Coos]

[ Pulsing]

Hi, chuckie.

Hi, chuckie.

Man:
ground control to major chuckie.

Major chuckie, where are you?

Major chuckie, where are you?
Where are you?

Chuckie.

[ Screams]

[ Grunts]

Sorry, chuckie.

I didn't know you were in there.

I'm afraid I need this box.

Here you go,
chuckie.

Why don't you
play with this?

Oof!

Now, mind
the baby-sitter.

I'll take this
to howard and betty's.

[ Sighs]

[ Doorbell rings]

Hi, betty,
I brought some stuff

For that auction
at your gym.

Thanks, chaz,
you're a prince.

Give me a hand with
this junk, will you?

[ Gasps]

A house.

[ Gasps]

A smelly old cave.

Neat!

It's not a cave,
lillian

It's a house!

It's a dark, scary
cave, phillip.

House.

Cave!

House!

Cave!

It's a house

And a cave.

Ooh!
Ooh!

Ah, this is the life.

Watch out for
that bear, phillip.

That's a chair.

Get off the bear!

This is my house,
and I'll sit on any bear I want.

[ Roaring]

[ Twins straining]

Betty:
coming with us
to the auction?

I wish I could,
but my hair...

Oh, look,
isn't that cute?

I guess I've been letting them
watch too much pro wrestling.

Howard! Chaz and I
are ready to go.

No, I really can't come.

Nonsense,
of course you can.

Chuckie's baby-sitter
goes home at : .

We're leaving the twins
with stu and didi.

They can look
after chuckie, too.

Howard, take
that box outside.

[ Twins bawl]

We rely too much
on stu and didi to baby-sit.

Oh, they love it.

Uh-oh, chaz is
bringing chuckie, too.

Why don't we just open up
a day-care center?

Sorry, I didn't know

Drew was leaving
angelica with us today.

Why do we even need a doormat?

We can just lie face-up
with our tongues hanging out.

[ Doorbell rings]

Betty! Howard! Charles!

So nice to see you.

This is short notice

But betty felt that...

Chaz decided to go, too.

And you wanted us
to baby-sit chuckie.

We'd love to.

Angelica and tommy are out back.

How's the kiddy karnival
coming along?

Uh, wrong subject, chaz.

Whoops,
we got to run.

I got to check my box for
a left connector assembly rod.

Great, just great.

Somebody swiped my box.

[ Snoring]

He'll make a great noise, tommy

I promise.

Just aim for the very tip
of the foot.

I don't know, angelica.

Hi, tommy.

Hi, angelica.

Great, just what I need--
more babies.

What you doing?

Nothing.

I did have this neat race car

But then my dad took it away.

Really?

I had a rocket ship.

I went all over
the galaxy and stuff

But then my dad
took it away, too.

We had a scary cave.

It was a house,
lillian.

Angelica:
oh, please.

You babies didn't
have that stuff.

Yeah, we did, angelica.

Well, where
is it, then?

We told you, angelica.

Our moms and dads
took it away.

A likely story.

I can't believe
howard took my box.

Stu, you threw it out.

A man's trash is sacred.

The left connector
assembly rod

Wasn't in there anyway.

I told you
the box was empty.

Maybe we should start putting
locks on our garbage cans.

Oh, stu.

Look, it's my race car.

No, that's my cave.

You mean my house.
It's my rocket ship.

Hey, I think it's a
race car and a cave

And a house and
a rocket ship.

Really?

Wow!
Wow!

Just looks like
a dumb old box.

A dumb old box?

It's not just
a dumb old box.

Yeah, it's our box.

Not anymore.

Now it's mybox.

Didi:
what's going
on out here?

Nothing--
we're just
playing

A nice little
children's game.

Oh, isn't that sweet.

Ha!

[ Kids clamoring]

Hmm...

Didi:
oh, stu...

Don't say anything.

But stu...

Please, didi.

I'm a failure
as a toy builder

And a father.

Come, stu, I want
to show you something.

Angelica,
give it back!

[ Tribal music playing]

[ Laughs evilly]

You babies will never see

Your precious box again.

That's what you think.

[ Twins grunting]

[ All straining]

Amazing-- all
that excitement

Over a lousy box.

Don't you remember
yourfirst box?

Come to think of it, I do.

It was an old shoe box
I made into a submarine.

Then drew stepped on it.

[ All straining]

[ Wails]

[ Both crying]

You little babies.

It was just a dumb box.

Wait, you guys, look!

Look, now I've got wings.

[ Chuckie laughing]

[ Singing tribal chant]

[ Grunting]

"In gardee!"

"Too-chay!"

[ Both grunting]

[ Laughing]

[ Gasps]

You dumb babies!

Stop having fun!

It's just a stupid box!

Didi:
angelica!

Oops.

What are you doing?

It's part of our game.

I was... Pretending
to wreck the babies' box.

We were just playing.

[ Shouting]:
they made me do it!

Hey, kids, I got
a real treat for you.

The kiddy karnival?

He finished the
kiddy karnival!

Me first! Me...

[ Gasps]

[ Babies laughing]

Chaz:
stu must have given up

On the kiddy karnival.

The little ones will
be so disappointed.

[ Laughter]

They sound happy.

Come on in, join the party.

[ Laughing]

Stu:
didi, this
box concept

Will put pickle's toys
on the map.

I just don't get it.
