[ Snoring]

[ Gasps]

[ Kids laughing]

Ohh.

Stu:
how about this one?

Low center of gravity,
minimal wind resistance.

You could get this
baby up to four miles...

I was thinking of something
more traditional.

Live in the past
and see your little girl

Left in the dust

On the trike
racing circuit.

I appreciate your bringing
your inventor's eye along

On this expedition.

My pleasure.

I couldn't very well

Leave home without it.

That's funny.

Hey, daddy.

Look!

Now, that's a tricycle.

Wow.
Wow.

Tommy:
it's great, susie.

It's got a basket,
a bell...

[ Ringing]

A pinwheel, a horn...

[ Tooting]

And look, it's even
got a flector.

It's beautiful.

Want to sit on it?

No, let's not get
carried away.

What do you
do with it?

You ride it.

Where's the part
your parents push?

Nobody pushes.

You move yourself
with these pedals.

You move yourself?

That's amazing.

Yep, you can go
anywhere you want.

All:
wow.

Anywhere?

Really?

Even up the stairs?

Under the ocean?

Over the moon?

Uh... No.

More like anywhere
in the backyard.

Angelica:
hey, susie.

Pretty
crummy trike.

What do
you know?

Yeah, you don't
even have a trike.

I could have one if I wanted.

I just don't want one.

Who needs a stupid
tricycle anyway?

Especially one
such a dumb color.

But blue's
your favorite
color.

It's my old favorite.

My new favorite
color's polka dot.

I hate blue.

I'm going to
paint the shed.

Please move
your bike.

Okay.

I'll do it.

Hey, give me
back my trike!

[ Angelica cackling]

[ Gasping]

[ Cackling]

[ Screaming]

Oh, no!

You broke my flector.

You're never going to ride
my trike again!

Angelica looks
like a giant
mud pie.

[ Growling]

[ Softly]:
you'll be sorry, susie.

[ Birds chirping]

Hi, susie.

Where did you
get the balloon

Chuckie?

The dentist.

Why'd they give you that?

After what they do
to your teeth

It's the least they can do.

You think
I could try

Getting on your
tricycle again?

Sure. It's
in the shed.

[ Creaking]

Ugh, wet paint.

[ Gasping]

Susie:
it's gone!

My tricycle! It's gone!

Call the police!

Call the army!

Call me when it's over.

Don't cry,
susie.

Maybe you left it
somewhere else.

No!

I put it in here

Like my daddy
said to.

Somebody stoled it.

Stoled it?

Who would do a
thing like that?

That's like...

Like taking candy
from a baby.

Tommy, where do you get
such scary ideas?

It must have been someone bad.

Someone mean.

Whoever did it
will have to pay.

Yeah, they'll
pay all right.

They'll pay
through their nose.

I put a penny up my nose once.

Let's not
do something

We'll be sorry
for later.

Sorry?

Whoever stole my trike--

They're the ones
who's going to be sorry.

Hiya.

[ Gasps]

What's wrong?

Ain't you never seen
a tricycle?

[ Whirring]

[ Tooting]

[ Ringing]

Youdid it!

Did what?

You stoled
my trike.

Like yesterday...

When you tooked it
without asking.

Angelica, how could you?

I didn't steal
your dumb old tricycle.

Where'd you get it?

My daddy gave it to me.

Where'd your
daddy buy it?

I don't know.

When did he buy it?

I don't know.

Both:
she stoled it.

I did not!

Well, guys,
looks like we got us

A trike thief here.

What will we do with her?

Cut off her pigtails.

Make her eat spinach.

Maybe we could
just let her go.

Let her go?

Yeah, that's it.

We'll let
her go.

But cynthia stays.

Hey!

She's going

For a little ride.

Chuckie

Let go of the balloon.

No!

Tommy:wait!

You can't do that
to cynthia.

What if angelica's
telling the truth?

Yeah, what if I'm
telling the truth?

Telling the truth?!

You mean, like the time
you told tommy

His new baby sister
was coming in the mail?

Well...

Or when you told

Phil and lil

Their daddy's hair
was a wig.

Did heget mad when we
tried to pull it off.

It was funny,
though.

Or when you told chuckie

The guy on the oatmeal box
moved in next door.

Don't remind me.

Face it, you never
tell the truth.

She took my trike

To get back at me.

Get back at you?

I wouldn't waste my time.

But yesterday you said...

[ Gasps]

Go on,chuckie.
What did angelica say?

Oh, nothing.

What did she say?

I don't remember.

Tell her, chuckie.

It's important.

Well, okay.

Angelica had just rode off
with susie's trike.

[ Susie cackling]

[ Screaming]

[ Splashing]

You guys ran after her

But I decided to watch
from a safe place.

Angelica looks
like a giant
mud pie.

[ Growling]

And that's when
I heard her say it.

You're going to be
sorry, susie.

She looked
real mad.

She did it.
She did it.

That's the final nail
in the coffee.

Tommy:
no, it isn't.

Look,
the flecker.

It's not broken.

So?

Don't you remember?

Yesterday angelica
broke your flecker.

That's right.

That's when
you told us

She'd never
ride it again.

And that flecker's
not broken.

So it must be
a different bike.

Both:
she didn't do it.

Told you.
It pops right off.

[ All gasp]

She probably threw away

The broken one

And stole the new one
from somebody else.

She's just going
to keep on stealing

Till she gets
everything she wants.

She did it.
She did it.

Susie:
and we got
to teach her

A lesson
right now.

Chuckie, let the balloon go!

Tommy:
wait!

Now what?

Your hands
got paint on them.

Yeah, it's from when

I opened
the shed.

Well, don't you see?

See what?

If angelica had
taken the trike
from the shed

She'd have got paint
on her hands, too.

So?

If angelica's
hands are clean

Then shedidn't do it.

Tommy's right.

We got to look
at her hands.

Tommy:
now look.

[ Gasping]

It's finger paint.

I was
finger-painting.

She did it.

She really did it.

All right, chuckie.

Let the balloon go.

Angelica:
wait!

I may be mean
and I may be a bully

But I'm no
tricycle thief!

I might push you off your bike
or crash into it

Or maybe even
throw it out a window

But I'd never steal it.

It's too late for
talk now, angelica.

You did what you did and
there's no way to change it.

You've got to pay the price.

Chuckie...

It's time.

Um... Uh... I...

Do it!

Cynthia!

[ Grunts]

[ Gasps]

What have I done?

Chuckie, you didn't do nothing.

Angelica let go
of that balloon.

She did?

She let go of it

The minute she opened
my daddy's shed

And stole my trike.

I could have sworn

Chuckie let go
of the balloon.

No, angelica did.

You just weren't
paying attention.

I feel sorry for you babies!

Why, angelica?

It's your doll

That is floating up by mars.

I feel sorry for you

Because I only had
to lose cynthia once.

You will have to live
with what you did

For the rest of your lives.

Susie, I didn't take
your trike.

For all I know
your trike could be...

Could be sitting
under your porch.

Yep.

There.

My trike!

How did it get there?

My daddy must have
put it there.

Then angelica was
telling the truth.

She didn'tstole
your trike.

But we caught her red-handed.

I already told you,
I was finger-painting.

I made this for you, susie.

I was sorry because I broke
your flector yesterday.

Why didn't you
show us?

You didn't give me a chance.

You were too busy
ruining my life.

Angelica, I'm sorry.

Sorry?

You're sorry?

"Sorry" isn't going to bring
cynthia back from mars

Is it, susie?

You got your dumb
old trike back

But I'm never going
to see cynthia again!

She's gone forever and ever
and ever and ever and...

Cynthia!

How did that
happen, phil?

It's a miracle.

Or a low-
flying plane.

Um... Angelica?

I'm glad you got cynthia back.

And I'm really, really sorry.

Aw, forget about that.

Last one to the back fence
is a rotten egg.

I guess we've all learned
a lesson, haven't we?

I'll say.

Don't let susie
borrow your balloon.

[ Thudding]

[ Buzzing]

Drew:
open up.

It's me, drew.

What
happened?

Nothing my girl
couldn't fix.

She's been watching binks
mcgill: pre-teen brain surgeon

Now she wants to be a doctor.

Cynthia had a accident
but I cured her.

You know, I think she's got
an aptitude for healing.

[ Kids laughing]

Now, where's
didi?

I said I help
with your taxes.

Oh, I got it
under control.

What's in your
purse, angelica?

This isn't a purse,
you dummy.

This is my binks mcgill
mergency rescue kit.

Haven't you ever seen
a brain sturgeon before?

What's a surgeon,
tommy?

I don't know
but if angelica's one

I don't think
it's anything good.

I said sturgeon, dummies.

A sturgeon
is a doctor.

I thought you had
to be a grown-up

To be a doctor.

Binks mcgill's
a doctor and he's ten.

But, angelica,
you're only three.

So, binks is
a little slow.

Now, trust me.

I'm a doctor!

[ All gulp]

Now I got to find

Some patients.

Where or where could
I find some patients?

[ Yawning]

[ Yelps]

Uh-oh, looks
like a mergency.

Not deductible...

Not deductible.

Deductible.

Not deductible.

Ooh...

Definitely not deductible.

You see, didi

Organization is the key

To proper tax preparation.

[ Crashing]

Angelica!

I didn't do it!

Good, I was worried

You'd mess
up my system.

Did you see how fast spike ran?

He's feeling
much better.

Yeah, I guess I'm just
about the best doctor

In the whole world.

Chuckie:your dad

Seemed
kind of mad.

That's because he's threatened
by working women.

You know, chuckie...

You're not
looking too well.

I'm not?

Open
your mouth.

But, angelica...

Mm-hmm.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh?

Let me check my medical book.

Hmm.

Just as I thought.

What is it, angelica?

Chuckie, you've
got rhinoceritis.

[ Gasping]

What's
rhinoceritis?

It's the worstest
disease there is.

First, you get grumpy.

Then your skin turns
all grey and scaly.

Then your feet
grow together
like hooves

Birds ride on your
back, you eat grass

And then finally

You grow this big, ugly horn

In the middle of your forehead.

Wow.
Wow.

Angelica, I feel fine.

Sure.

You feel fine now

But soon you'll
start to change.

You already seem
a little grumpy.

Am not.

See?

There's nothing
wrong with me.

I don't have
any rhinocisitis

Or anything.

Oh?

What's that

On your arm?

It's a scab.

Sure, that's what
they want you to think

But it's rhinoceros skin

And pretty soon it's going
to cover your whole body.

Both:
neat!

That's not true, angelica.

You're making it up...

Aren't you?

The baby next door
thought that

When I told him
he had chicken pox.

Now he's pecking around
a barnyard somewhere.

Why don't
his parents
help him?

They need the eggs.

I still think
you're making it up.

Don't come to me when
you start growing a horn.

Where are you going?

I got to make my rounds

And get in nine holes
of golf before sundown.

I don't feel
so good, tommy.

Are your feet
turning into hooves?

Are you growing a horn

In the middle
of your head?

I knew it.

I'm a goner.

I wonder how long I got left
to be a normal kid?

Chuckie, you want
to play ball?

Careful, his horn
might pop the ball.

Come on, let's play
with the star ball.

It's chuckie's favorite.

Good one, chuckie.

I don't want
to play anymore.

How come?

Because
when you know

You're about
to become a rhinocelot

Playing with the ball
just seems so empty.

You know

Before I got
rhinocerosis

I never really noticed
how blue the sky is

Or how nice
the flowers smell

Or how good a brand-new crayon
tastes right out of the box.

Guys, I got to be alone
to think for a while.

You guys, we got to help him.

Come on, let's go find angelica.

Let's see...
Soldier bone

Connect it to...

Angelica, can you
do something

To help chuckie?

I wanted to help...
I tried to help

But chuckie wasn't interested
in hearing what ihad to say.

After all,
I'mjust a doctor.

What do iknow?

You got to do something

Before chuckie turns
into one of those things.

Okay, I'll do it.

But first I need
a hospital.

Tommy, you go
get chuckie.

Phil, you be
my receptionary.

What's that?

You make sure people
don't bother me

And before you let anybody in

You ask, "how will you
be paying your bill?"

What do I
get to do?

You're my nurse.

You help me examinate
on chuckie.

But first, I need a few things.

Well, I'm going to need
a box of cookies

About band-aids, some water

And a helicopter.

Where am I going to get
a box of cookies?

That's okay.

Sometimes binks mcgill

Doesn't have
everything he needs.

Just keep
your eyes open.

Boy, this is easier
than I thought.

How will you be paying
your bill, chuckie?

Uh, my bill?

I'm sure we can
work something out.

First, we got to
run some tests.

Tests?

What kind of tests?

Nope.

I can't see the light.

Hmm, that's a very bad sign.

Angelica:
hey, no visitors

In the
examinating room!

[ Gasps]

Okay, how many fingers

Am I holding up?

I don't know how to count.

Neither do
rhinoceroses.

Mm-hmm.

It doesn't
sound good.

What are you doing?

I'm going
to test your
reflections.

Does this hurt?

No.

Does this hurt?

No.

That hurts!

Of course it hurts.

You got a big bump
on your leg.

I wish we could do
something for chuckie.

I remember once,
my mommy was sick

And my daddy bought her
a bunch of flowers

And they made her feel better.

Yeah! Maybe if we bring
chuckie some flowers

He'll feel better, too.

Drew:
I don't understand
this, stu.

You've kept shopping
lists, candy wrappers

And a bag of moldy
french fries.

I keep records
of everything I buy.

Oh, that's nice.

Why didn't you just keep
the sales receipts?

All these flowers

Will definitely make
chuckie feel better.

Chuckie:
what are you doing?

I'm taking an x-ray.

See, these are your insides.

Ooh.

Ooh, indeed.

I'm afraid we have no choice.

What are you going
to do with that?

We'll have to opterate.

First, I'll unscrew
your head.

My head?!

[ Panting]

Where'schuckie?

We brought
him flowers.

I hate to be the one
to tell you this but...

We lost him.

You lost him?

Yeah, sorry, tommy.

You know how it is.

One minute he's
talking to you

Then, poof, he's gone.

Maybe he's in
a better place.

He can't be gone.

Lil:
listen,
in there.

Chuckie?

Careful-- rhinoceroses
charge at random.

Chuckiewouldn'tdo that.
Chuckie wouldn't

But a rhinoceros would love to.

They specially
like chasing babies.

[ Growling]

[ Screaming]

[ Giggling]

Oh, it's just
you, spike.

I'm not coming out.

I like my head.

What are we going to do?

Chuckie's probably
turned into a rhinosaur.

Maybe he'll live
in the zoo.

Chuckie doesn't like zoos.

Or join
the circus.

He's scared
of clowns.

Or move to the jungle.

Jungle might work.

What's so funny,
angelica?

Yeah, what's so funny?

You babies are so dumb.

You don't
really think

Chuckie has
rhinoceritis?

Well... Yeah.

You said so.

I just made that up
for practice.

Doctors got to practice.

Why do you always
pick on chuckie?

He's scared
all the time anyway.

You got to tell him

He's not going to turn
into a... One of those things.

Keep your
diaper on.

I'll tell him...

If we ever find him.

Hey, what's that noise?

[ Munching]

All:
chuckie.

What are
you doing?

I was trying to
eat some grass.

I figured I better start now
if I have to be a rhinomalos.

[ Spitting]

I guess you got
to get used to it.

Chuckie,
angelica has

Something
to tell you.

What is it?

There isn't
any such thing

As rhinoceritis.

You're just trying

To make me feel better.

No, really.

It's okay.

I don't mind being

A rhinostronaut.

I just rather not get
my head unscrewed.

Chuckie, I'm telling you
the truth.

Then what about
my being grumpy?

Some people are
always grumpy.

Look at angelica.

[ Growling]

What about the
skin on my arm?

And my head?

See how it's red
where the horn's growing?

I got some red on
myface, too, chuckie

But it's just where
I got sunburned

And I got scabs on my knees.

You do?

Angelica?

What?

Those don't look

Like chuckie's scabs.

Huh?

They're kind
of grey.

Yeah...

And hairy.

What's that on your forehead?

I bumped my head last night.

Both:
it's a horn!

[ Gulps]

Angelica,
you're the one

With rhinoplasty.

It can't be,
it just can't be.

Okay, a few dollars
at the end of the year.

$ .

Pshaw.

Oh, I'm sorry

I had the decimal wrong.

It comes to , .

, ?

Don't worry.

A smart kid like tommy

Doesn't need to
go to college.

Angelica?

Are you eating grass?

Careful, daddy, the rhinoceros
is known to charge at random.
