[ giggling]

[ barking]

[ radio static]

You're on the air
with Dr. Cathy.

What's your question, friend?

I really enjoy
listening to her advice.

WOMAN:
Dr. Cathy

is there anything I can do

to improve my relationship
with my kid?

DR. CATHY:
Yeah, spend more time with him

instead of sitting around all
day listening to the radio.

Next caller.

Hah! The Doc must've gotten
her license

off the back of a cereal box.

I think that's good advice.

Parents should spend more time
with their kids.

WOMAN :
Hello, Dr. Cathy.

My problem is that
I'm not assertive enough.

Nobody listens to me--
not my husband or my friends.

Dr. Cathy?

Dr. Cathy?

DR. CATHY:
Huh? What?

Sorry, wasn't listening.

Next caller.

But she's just trying to teach
people how to be happy.

Huh! If I knew I could be
rich and famous

just for being loud and bossy

I'd have cashed in years ago.

[ gasps]

Rich and famous
just for being bossy?

I've been practicing for this
my whole life.

Hi, Angelica.

That's Dr.Angelica to you.

Can't you read the sign?

Uh... no.

I'm a "make you happy"
radio doctor.

You tell me your problems
and I give you a-vice.

What's a-vice?

Well, for starters,
stop being so dumb!

Well... thanks
for the vice.

Vice is stuff I tell you

to make you more happy.

But I thought
we were happy.

Well, you're not!
Not now.

Okay, who's going first?

Why should we go at all,
Angelica?

I know I don't say it enough,
but it's 'cause I love you

and, uh, I can make it
so you never cry again.

So, figure out who's going
after Finster.

What?

Oh, why do I always
have to be first?

Because you've got
the biggest problems.

Sit down.

Well, I guess I could
use a little vice.

Your problem is that
you're not dissertive enough.

That means you need to stand up
for yourself and take charge

like telling people to give you
their dessert and stuff.

By the way,
that'll cost you a cookie.

But I don't have any.

No! You've got to talk
into the phone!

How come? You're right there.

'Cause I said so!

So just do it.

See, you're always letting
people walk all over you.

But I've never see people
walking on me.

Don't look at me
while you're talking.

I'm on the radio.

Look over there somewhere.

Walking on you means
you're always letting Tommy

and the rest of the babies
tell you what to do.

I don't think I do that,
Angelica.

Well, I say you do!

Okay, if you say so.

You need to practice
being more bossy.

Because, well... you're you

you better start with trees
and toys and stuff

and then move up

to real people.

Next caller!

DR. CATHY:
Look, Marvin, everyone knows

children learn bad habits

from their parents, so...

Dr. Quacky don't know
squat about raising pups.

It seems to make sense
that kids copy

what they see
their parents do.

Yeah? Yesterday Philly wore
his diaper as a hat

and he sure didn't learn
that from me.

Of course I can't keep an eye
on Howie / .

Well, I think we can all learn
better parenting

if we're willing to listen
to advice.

Sounds like you're saying
I need advice, Deed.

No, Betty,
I-I was just saying that...

You think it's my fault

the twins like to
eat dirt and bugs

and put strange objects
up their noses?

No, of course not.

Well

I don't have to
sit around here

and be insulted by
my so-called friend!

Betty! Wait!

Thanks for the coffee!

Gee, little bug
is walking on me, too.

Lookee here, bug

I want you to stop crawling
on my foot right now!

I guess you can sit there
for a little while.

[ sighing]

I'm not very good at this.

You're gross, dirty
and disgusting.

Yeah, but what's our problem?

When you grow up, you're never
going to have any friends.

What about just gross
and disgusting friends?

No! So no more food
in your diapees

or eating bugs or
fingers up your noses.

What about other people's noses?

Oh, brother!

I had to be a doctor.

WOMAN :
Yeah, this is, uh, Bessie

and I-I got a problem
with my friend, uh... Mimi

who's suddenly telling me
how to raise my kids.

See, I got twins-- one of each--
and my friend's got two...

Why, that sound a lot
like Betty.

...uh, my friend, Dee, uh, Mimi

uh, is trying to tell me
that I'm a rotten mom.

And if I'm a rotten mom

then she must think
my kids are rotten, too.
[ gasping]

That isBetty
and I certainly do not.

You see, Tommy, you're
always coming up with

the ideas and the plans

and telling the babies
what they should do.

Well, I guess I do kind
of come up with lots of ideas.

That's your problem,
Mr. Smarty-Pants.

You got to give
the other babies

a chance to decide stuff

no matter how
stupid it will be.

In other words...

stop being so bossy!

Angelica told me I'm apposed
to let you guys decide stuff

we should do from now on.

Well, do you think that's
what we should do, Tommy?

Um, yup.

I-I think someone should
come up with some ideas.

You got some ideas about who
should get some ideas, Tommy?

Sure. What do
you think, Phil?

I think my diapee's
on too tight.

Maybe we should
let Chuckie decide.

Maybe we could, um,
take a long nap

and then we could, uh, wake up!

But then, uh, do something
else... really fun.

Hey, it's only my firstest day!

Okay, Kimi

first, you need to stop being
so smiley all the time.

That's really annoying.

I mean, you can't be happy
all the time

especially since you got Chuckie
for a brother.

But I love Chuckie,
and I am happy.

Don't you get it?

If your family sees
you're smiley

all the time, they
won't worry about you

and buy you
presents and stuff.

You need to be cool, like me.

You got to say things like,
"Whatever."

"That's cool... I guess."

[ giggling]

That's really good vice,
Angelica.

I mean, that's cool.

Maybe I could just
squish around a little bit?

Don't do it, Lil.

'Member your vice.

Whoa!

Look at that worm.

It's so slimy.

Ah, that'd sure
go down easy.

No, Phil!

'Member what Angelica said.

We can't be dirty
or disgusting.

Well, we're just eating
a muddy worm.

Well, it's not disgusting

so it must just be dirty.

How can we play
with a dirty worm

without getting dirty?

I know! We can
give it a bath.

[ both sighing]:
It's not the same.

WOMAN :
And certain friends

who shall remain nameless

shouldn't take everything
so personally.

DR. CATHY:
You make a good point, Bibi.
Bibi, my patootie.

BIBI:
And they shouldn't be so quick
to get angry
[ yells]

Oh!

Oh!

[ sighs]

Whatever.

What's your problem, Finster?

Maybe your a-vice
wasn't so good, Angelica

'cause we're not feeling
real happy.

That's because
you're not doing it right.

Like you, Chuckie.

You need to do something
really, really big

that shows you're in charge

and 'cause I'm so nice

I'm not even going to charge you
a cookie this time.

Really?

Instead, you can polish my car.

[ laughing]

That's it!

Uh, uh, I don't think
that's a good idea, Chuckie.

Uh-uh-uh, I mean,
do you think it is?

Yup, I'm taking charge,
just like Angelica told me.

Finster, what
do you think

you're doing in my car?

I'm being more dissertive,
Angelica, so out of my way.

[ making car noises]

[ screaming]
[ making car noises]

Tommy, make him stop!

I'm not apposed to tell
him what to do, remember?

[ making car noises]

[ yelling]

You need to stop, Chuckie!

Sorry, Angelica

we're not apposed
to play in the mud anymore.

Aren't you going to stop
your brother?

No, it's cool.

[ screaming]

[ making car noises]

[ yells]

Wow, you really
were dissertive.

It's not really all
it's cracked up to be.

You diaper-heads
don't know what happy is.

[ yells in frustration]

I knew it was you.

I'm sorry, my
friend "Bessie"--

the one who phoned you
earlier-- just walked in.

DR. CATHY:
Perfect.

Now I can tell you both
how lousy your friendship is.
Lousy friendship?

I'm afraid you don't understand.

Oh, I understand that
Bessie needs to stop dumping

those little monsters of hers
on you.
Monsters?

They happen to be
wonderful babies

and I love having
them at my house.

Yeah, yeah, but as for you, Bibi

you need to stop interfering
in Bessie's life

though I can't say I blame you.

You listen to me,
Dr. Windbag

that's my best friend
you're talking about

and Bibi doesn't interfere.

She looks out for me.

And Bessie looks
out for me.

That's what friendships
are all about.

Well, if you want my advice...
Betty...

Deed...

[ kids laughing]

And now to
the mud pile.

Right, Chuckie?

Whatever you guys want to do
is fine with me.

[ all laughing]

You know, guys,
it's easy to be happy

when nobody's giving you
a-vice on how to be happy.

[ all laughing]

[ pencil sharpener grinding]

Boy, writing this history of my
allergies is really inspiring.

It's full of
dramatic detail.

Like the day my cat Yeowler
had to be given away.

I had him a whole year.

But all of a sudden,
I started sneezing

every time I
got near him.

At least he went
to a good home.

[ chuckles]

Oh, that reminds me.

Okay, little ones.

Time to play outside.

Except for you, Kimi.

Chuckie put his toys away;
now it's your turn.

, hours ago

you, me, Chuckie and
Kimi became a family.

Happy anniversary, Kira.

It's beautiful!

Kimi, look.

Kimi?

[ laughs]

You know what today
is, Chuckie?

It's our...

[ sneezes]

Bob dress you.

Chuckie, today is our...

[ sneezes]

Kimi, we've been
making a mud pie.

We need you
to help de-create it.

Okay, guys.

I'll be right back.

Yeah, it needs
a little something.

I know!

[ sneezes]

Hmm. I think it needs
some more blocks.

I don't know, Tommy.

It's real tall now.

[ sneezes]

I guess it could
use a few more.

[ sneezes]

Chuckie, do you notice
something weird about you?

Where do you want
me to start?

[ sneezes]

I'm talking about that.

Every time Kimi gets near you,
you sneeze.

I do?

[ sneezes]

Yup.

Why do you think
I do that?

Hmm...

Can't you dumb babies figure out
anything for yourself?

The answer's easy.

Chuckie's allergic to Kimi.

What?!

Oh, no.

Just hold your horses there,
Angelica.

Kimi's been around here
a long time.

How come Chuckie wasn't
allergic to her before?

Well, Chuckie's daddy's
kitty cat Yeowler

was around a
long time, too.

Then a couple of sneezes here,
a couple of [ snorts] there

and it's a arrivadirty,
pussycat.

[ gasps]

Forever.

Bye-bye.

Kimi, honey, I don't think
your toys made it

all the way
into your room.

Oh, boy, Tommy,
Angelica's right.

My sister's going to have
to be gived away

like my daddy's kitty cat,
Yeowler.

[ both gasp]

Poor, poor Yeowler.

Don't worry, Chuckie.

There's got to be
a way out of this.

Not unless I stop sneezing.

That's it, Chuckie.

Alls we gots to do, you guys

is figure out a way to stop
Chuckie from sneezing.

Yeah!Yeah!

Okay, Tommy.

You got any ideas how?

[ grinding]

[ sneezes]

Oh, yeah-- pencil shavings.

Here, Chuckie.

This'll work.

[ nasally]:
I don't know, Tommy.

It makes me sound funny.

You sound the same to me.

Chuckie!
I want to...

What's that funny thing
on your nose?

It's a... uh...

It's so his boogies
stay fresh.

[ sneezes]

I don't think it's working.

There you are.

How about I "help
you" get those toys
into your room?

Oh... now what am I going to do?

Hey, Chuckie, 'member when I had
those bad hippups?

My mommy and daddy said there
was a bunch of different stuff

you were 'posed to do
to get rid of them.

Well, if they can cure hippups

uh, maybe they can
cure sneezes, too.

[ toilet flushing]

Okay, everybody,
we gots to scare Chuckie.

Make the scariest faces
you can make.

[ growling]

Hi, Tommy.

Hi, Phil, hi, Lil.

Why are your faces
twisted up so weird?

Great. The one time
he's not scared.

You know, Phil,
I'm not always scared.

[ screams]

Come on, Chuckie,
you can do it.

[ grunting]

Chuckie, I almost forgot
I have to tell you something.

Today is our...

[ sneezes]

You sure gots a lot of
sneezes in you, Chuckie.

You got a cold?

Uh, yeah, that's it--
a cold.

Oh. Should I gets you a tissue?

Yeah-- from the box way, way
over in my room under the bed.

If only you had the nose
that didn't sneeze so much.

Yeah, I guess there's
no such thing as
getting a new nose.

I never seen
a new nose store.

Wait! I think my daddy
has a new nose.

I seen it in
his closet once.

That's great, Chuckie!

Let's go get that nose.

How do I look?

Very handsome.

[ laughs]

[ grunts]

Let's go find Kimi
and try.

Week.

Wool pants, mini blinds...

Hey, Kimi, nice...
clouds in the sky.

Why are you wearing glasses
over your glasses?

And how'd your nose
get so hairy?

Well, you see...

[ sneezes]

Now you look
like you, Chuckie.

I got to go tie my shoe...

over there.

It's no use, guys.

I can't stop sneezing, so...

I guess I'm just going to have
to leave forever.

Chuckie, you can't
just leave forever.

I know, Tommy,
but it's the onlyest way.

If my mommy and daddy
see me sneezing

they're going
to give Kimi away...

just like Yeowler.

Where you going to be, Chuckie?

Oh, I'll still be here.

Whenever Angelica's
getting all red in the face

when she's yelling

whenever Lil's eating a bug

whenever Spike's knocking over
a garbage can

I'll be over there.

Play with Kimi, you guys.

Don't let her miss me too much.

There goes
a real baby.

[ laughs]

It's fun playing blocks
with you, Kimi.

[ crying]

Chuckie does
it different.

Like this.

Why doesn't Chuckie
want to play with me?

Kimi, how about we play
something else, like, uh, uh...

Digging out yummy stuffs
'tween our toes.

No! Spinning around till the
whole world spins around.

Toe stuffs!

Spinning 'round!

Toe, Lilian.

Spin, Philip.

Toe.Spin.

Toe! Spin!

He don't even know
it's our special day.

Something's going on
with Kimi and Chuckie.

Maybe if I got them
playing together...

KIRA:
I can't wait to see
what you two build together.

What will it be?
A spaceship?

Mrs. Chuckie's mommy

can I have
a Potsicle stick, too

with the Potsicle still on it?

Sure, Angelica.

So, Chuckie...

Ah... ah... ah... choo!

Yuck!

I asked for a Potsicle,
not a Snotsicle!

Sorry.

I gots to go potty.

You got to stop following me
around, Kimi.

Sometimes a kid needs
his piracy.

But, Chuckie,
you got to stay still.

This whole time I've
been trying to give you

my special anniversamy of when
we becamed a family present.

For you, Chuckie.

I picked it myself.

Wow, Kimi.

It's... It's...

[ sneezes]

This is bad, Tommy.

Bad, bad, bad.

I just had the biggest, worstest
sneeze of my whole life.

Tommy, we got to tell her.

Uh, Chuckie...

No, Tommy!

Like you always say: a baby's
gotta do what a baby's gotta do.

But, Chuckie...

I got to tell Kimi the truth.
Then I'll...

Chuckie!

What?!

Chuckie, I've been trying
to tell you-- look!

She's been here this
whole time and you
hasn't sneezed once.

Really?

You're right, Tommy.

It must have been a giant sneeze

that sneezed out
all the other sneezes.

Tell me what, Chuckie?

Why you've been running away
from me all day?

Huh? Oh, that.

Um, well... um...

'Cause I was
still shopping

for an anniversary
present for you.

Oh. Really?

Uh... and, uh...

Here it is.

Wow! It's shaped
like a moose.

It is?

I mean, I knew that.

Oh, Chuckie!

[ laughing]

It's their anniversamy

and we didn't
get them nothing!

Hey, I don't even know
what a anniversamy is!

[ sneezes]

[ gasps]

Dandelion season already?

Oh, I'd better give Chuckie
his allergy medicine.

I love my new
gold locket.

[ sneezes]

Gold lockets.

[ all laughing]

[ gobbling]

[ Chuckie sneezes]
