[ whirring]

[ snoring]

Whoa!

[ whirring]

[ kids laughing]

[ dog barks]

[ giggles]

[ whirring]

[ squeals]

[ cheering, rock music playing]

[ clanging]

GIRL:
This is a gym, Minis,

and this is your first
high school basketball game!

Go, Fighting Poodles!

Yip! Yip! Yip!

There's my friend Britannica.

I'm so excited
for her--

she's an "M"!

Hi, Britannica!

BRITANNICA:
Hey!

[ cheerleaders shrieking]

[ thudding, moaning]

Oops, mondo ouch.

Hang tight, Minis.

Was they supposed
to fall down?

I hope so, that was
my favoritest part!

[ cheering]

What is everyone
yelling?

That's the biggest
game of catch

I ever seed!

Ooh, ooh,
I'm so sorry!

Are you okay?

Ow!

[ moaning]:
I hurt my ankle!

I don't think
I can finish the game.

But without you,
all they can spell

is "Go, Tea!"

I'll take your place.

[ game buzzer buzzes]

I'm your "M"!

[ grunting]

Ooh!

Huh?

Oh, no, that's okay.

Don't worry,
I know all the cheers.

And, besides, this is
a cheer emergency.

Britannica, can you
scope the Minis?

Sure.

I'll rest my ankle.

Whoo!

[ crowd gasping]

Yeah!

Hey, keep your eye
on the ball!

I guess those peoples
aren't playing catch right.

They have a ball
and they're catching it.

What else is there?

[ referee's whistle blows]

Why are there
pictures

of giant bugs
everywhere?

Why don't you ask
the giant bug?

[ shrieks]

Giant bug?

[ laughing]:
Buzz...

And it's pointing its stinker
right at Taffy!

[ squeals]

Bad buggy, shoo, shoo!

[ game clock buzzer buzzing]

That's just going
to make him madder.

[ buzzing]

[ blows raspberry]

Told you.

TOMMY:
We gots to stop the bug

afore it stinks Taffy!

Yeah, getting stunk hurts!

It's like getting a sh*t,
but without the lolli!

I don't know if we can
stop that bug, Tommy.

It's really big.

Sure we can stop it,

it's only one,
uh... giant bug.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

[ laughing]

ALL:
Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!

[ buzzing]

Uh, he broughted
all his buggy friends!

Don't worry, Chuckie--

they're not trying
to sting Taffy.

We just gots to stop
that mean one.

How do you stop
a giant, mean buggy?

We could eat it!

But it would take
a very, very long time.

My daddy stops bugs
with buggy spray.

Where we going
to get that?

MAN:
Go, Hornets, go, Hornets,
go, Hornets, go, Hornets!

[ cheering]

Yeah, all right,
Hornets!

Whoo, yeah!

Oh, man, oh, man,
oh, man!

[ screams]

Buggy spray!

PHIL:
Look, the buggy
spray man!

Come on, guys!

I'm scared, Tommy.

What if I'm 'llergic
to giant bugs?

Why would you
be 'llergic to
giant buggies?

'Cause I'm 'llergic
to everything.

TOMMY:
Don't worry,
Chuckie--

I'll make sure
he doesn't stink you.

Come on!

Babies-- ow!

Wait!

There's the
buggy spray!

But there's
only one left.

Yup, that won't be enough--
let's go.

Wait! Look!

PHIL:
Wow, that bug spray's
all growed up.

Chuckie, you stay here

and turn on the spray
when I tell you.

Everyone else, follow me!

But, Tommy, I don't want
to stay here alone.

This way you won't have to go
near the giant bug, Chuckie.

Uh, see you soon.

CHEERLEADERS:
"P" is for "Poo,"
"D" is for "dle,"

"Poodle"!

[ shrieking]

[ screams]

[ thudding]

ANNOUNCER:
Ooh, that's got to hurt!

Looks like the Hornets have
lost their star player

to a pom-pom injury.

[ buzzing]

Hurry, the buggy's
trying to stink Taffy!

Chuckie!

Turn the
spray on!

Ready?

Aim!

Sprayer!

Oh, hey! Whoa!

[ cheering]

Who did that?

Run!

[ buzzing, babies yelling]

[ screaming]

Babies, wait!

[ crowd cheering]

So, um, spraying didn't work.

[ bee buzzing]

I gots a idea!

We'll catch him!

Uh, I don't think

he's going to fit
in there, Tommy.

There gots to be some way
to catch him.

My mommy catches flutterbies
in a net.

Good thinking,
Kimi!

Uh, but we don't gots
any nets here.

Except that giant one
hanging from the roofs.

Yip, yip, hooray!

Yip, yip, hooray!

Pood-dle power!

[ screams]

Let me help!

No, stay back!

Stay back!

You stay here and be
the lookieout, Chuckie.

Okay, Tommy.

[ buzzing]

Here he comes!

[ crowd shrieking, applauding]

Oops, wrong rope.

This one!
[ disco music plays]

[ crowd "oohing"]

Ooh, prettyful, Phillip...

but wrong.

This one.

[ screams]

MASCOT:
Ah, stop it!

Ooh, looks like the Hornets

are celebrating their victory
a little early.

Good job, Lil!

Yeah, they're even
having a party for us.

Uh-oh, the party's over!

[ buzzing]

Crazy Poodle fans!

[ screaming]

We're doomed--
I mean, they're doomed.

I gots to help my friends.

[ screams]

Ah!
Oh!

[ screaming]

His stinker!

[ popping][ screams]

[ panting]

Come on, guys--
Chuckie helped us.

Now we gots to help him.

[ screaming]

Ow, ow!

[ screams]

Ugh!

Good job getting
the stinker, Chuckie.

Yeah, that was the braveliest
thing I ever seed.

Uh, except for
the running away
and screaming part.

[ screams]

Uh... good idea,
Chuckie.

[ whistle blowing]

ANNOUNCER:
Ooh, foul,
Hornets!

Ooh, that's going to be
an illegal use of mascot,

and there's no time
left on the clock.

With the game tied,

the Poodles need just one
of these free throws to win.

[ screaming]

I wish we was outside...

then the buggy would fly away.

That's it!

The buggy must be mad
'cause it's stuck in here.

Alls we gots to do is open
a door so it can fly away!

[ dribbling echoing]

ANNOUNCER:
The pressure's on.

How can peoples play catch

at a time like this?

Ah!

Ugh!

Whoo, that stunk!

[ dribbling echoing]

ANNOUNCER:
He looks determined this time.

Is it possible?

Could they b*at the Hornets?

Poo-dles! Poo-dles!

[ swishing]

[ cheering, buzzer buzzes]

ANNOUNCER:
Unbelievable! They did it!

[ cheering]

Oh, man, oh, man,
oh, man!

I think it's working,
Tommy.

[ screaming]

[ buzzing]

Yeah, it's working
too good.

We dided it, you guys!

All the bugs
is flying away!

[ cheering]

Let's go see
if Taffy's okay.

[ cheerleaders giggling]

Yip, hip, hooray!
Yip, hip, hooray!

Yeah, whoo-hoo!

Yeah, I think she's okay.

Hey, Minis!

How were they?

Fast... uh,
learners.

Fast learners!

We did it, Minis, we b*at them!

Whoo-hoo!

[ cheering]

Wow, everybody's really, really
happy we stopped the buggy.

How come we
don't get cheers

after every
abenture, Tommy?

Um, maybe we're
just getting

better and better
at it.

[ cheering]

COMPUTER:
This is Mission Control.

You're cleared to land,
Commander Cynthia.
[ shrieks]

[ grunts]

Ooh, Cynthia's not
a very good astronaut.

Move it, babies!

You're in the way
of my landing strip.

We're just playing ball.

It's the onliest toy
you left us.

[ growls]

Well, play over there!

Check it out, Deed--
an a*t*matic plant waterer.

[ buzzing]

[ water flowing]

[ chuckles nervously]

[ machine stops]

That's wonderful, Stu,

but could you
keep the house clean?

My parents are
coming for dinner.

[ gasps and sighs]

And can you start
by finding

a better place
for these old toys?

Where am I going to put them?

The basement's packed with
broken... unfinished inventions.

Then how about the crawl space?

Crawl space?

I always hit my head
in the crawl space.

[ moans]

[ chuckles nervously]

[ moans]

Ah, I know.

Let's put the babies
in the crawl space.

Then the house will be
reallyclean.

Tommy, what's
crawl space?

I don't know.

But a crawly space
sounds like a good
place.

And your daddy wants us
to play there

so the house will be clean.

Did I hear you babies
are going to the...

crawl space?

That's what Tommy's
daddy said.

Well, you better get going.

Aw, he probably didn't
mean we have to go now.

Then how come he's putting
all your baby toys in there?

Yeah, how come, Tommy?

Because that's
your new play area.

See you, babies.

Forget to write.

[ Angelica imitating
spaceship]

[ barks]

Wow, do you see that?

He went into a
little baby door.

[ thump]

STU:
Ow!

What was that?

That can't be good.

[ Stu grunting]

[ moans]

Come on,
let's go inside.

I'm not going
in there.

We have to,
Chuckie.

My daddy wants us in here
so's the house will stay clean.

[ gulps]

[ growls]

[ panting]

[ Angelica imitating spaceship]

SUSIE:
This is Mission Control--
watch your back.

What happened to the babies,
Angelica?

Forget about them.

They're doing dumb baby stuff.

Besides, now we got a whole
big mooniverse to esplore.

[ imitating spaceship]

What's that stinky smell?

It kinds of smells
like my grandma and
grandpa's house.

Huh, maybe theyplay in here.

[ screams]

I don't think we could ever make
this a nice place to play, guys.

[ whimpering]:
There's big spiders and bugs and
creepy-crawly things in here.

Don't worry, Chuckie.

It'll be less scary once we
get rid of all the cobby webs.

[ grunting]

[ screams]

[ yelps]

[ gasps]

[ coughing]

[ coughing]

It's no use, guys.

I liked things
just the way they were.

Maybe Chuckie's
right.

Something is
kind of missing.

I know.

We just need some toys and stuff

from the old playroom.

[ gasps and moans]

Okay, we can't let
Angelica see us,

or she'll tell my daddy
we're not in the
crawly space.

ANGELICA:
Where are you going?

You're a moon
creature.

You got to stay
on the moon.

[ barks softly]

[ giggling]

[ giggling]

Space cookies taste
almost the same as
regular cookies.

Right, Cynthia?

[ grunts]:
Ow.

Crummy crawl space.

Who says they have
to be so low, anyway?

I thought I put
the plants here.

Oh, great, now I've done it.

I must have bumped
my cerebral cortex.

Now I probably got
permanent memory loss.

There, Chuckie.

We even maded you
a special box

for your
favoritest toys.

Thanks, guys,
but I still miss
the old playroom.

It's not just
the stuff.

It's...

CHUCKIE:
Oh, the way the rug tickles
your toesies.

The way Phil learned
how to catch a ball

for the first time.

[ grunts]

I even 'member the first time
I got scaredy.

[ playing
"Pop Goes the Weasel"]

[ screaming]

Yeah, it's good
and smelly in here,

but it's still no playroom.

I miss playing
with Spike and Spiffy.
And I miss Dilly.

I think you was
right, Chuckie.

I was?

Yeah, we gots
all our toys and stuff,

but it's just not the same
as our old playroom.

STU [ gasps]:
Huh?

Now things are
disappearing, or...

Maybe they were never here,
I can't even remember.

Thanks for putting
the toys away, Stu.

Everything looks
perfect.

[ kiss]

Hey!

What happened to Juniper?

And Nectune? And Marge?

The whole mooniverse is gone.

[ growling]:
Babies.

[ door opens]

SUSIE:
Wow.

This place is great!

Yeah.

Okay, babies, the crawl space
is the next mooniverse

me and Cynthia
are going to esplore.

But the babies
are playing in here.

Tough cookies.

Crawly spaces is just
like the moon.

Whoever sticks a flag in it
owns it.

Ha!

Angelica Land!

Now all babies out!

Angelica Land is
a grown-up kids' playroom.

No babies allowed!

Angelica!

You can't do that.

Sure I can.

It's the rules of crawly spaces
and the moon.

Then I'm going
with them.

Good--
who needs you?

Now what, Tommy?

Yeah, we don't gots
our crawly space.

[ voice breaking]:
And we can't play
in our old playroom.
[ moans]

Those plants have
to be here somewhere.

Huh?

What are you kids doing here?

You can't play
in the crawl space.

Okay, come on.

Back to the playroom.

[ muttering happily]

[ all cheering]

We gots our playroom back, guys!

[ all cheering]

[ door closes]

ANGELICA:
Hey, wait!

[ screams]

Angelica.

What are you
doing in here?

Look at this mess!

I didn't do it!

It was the babies.

The babies?

Uh-huh.

The plants!

Yes! I'm not
losing my mind!

Now as for you, young lady...

[ Spiffy barking]

[ kids cheering]

[ chuckling]

I guess
Astronut Cynthia

won't be visiting
Angelica Land for
a while.

Put a lip on it,
Carmichael.

[ giggles]:
That crawly space
was kind of fun.

But you know
what they say?

"There's no place
like your own playroom."

ALL:
Yeah.

[ giggle]

[ giggling]

[ grunts]

[ chuckles]

[ playing
"Pop Goes the Weasel"]

[ screams]

[ laughs]

[ playing
"Pop Goes the Weasel"]

[ screams]

[ laughs]

[ Chuckie screams and laughs]

TAFFY:
Yip, yip, hooray!

Pood-dle power!
