( whirring )

( snoring )

Whoa!

( whirring )

( kids laughing )

( dog barks )

( giggles )

( whirring )

( squeals )

Look, Phillip, I can see
the top of Mount Neverest.

Alls I can see
is your diappie.

( screeching )

( yells )

Same to you!

Remind me again
why we're climbing

the scardiest mountain ever.

TOMMY:
We'll be
the firstest babies

to make it to the top, Chuckie.

We'll be
world flamous explorers.

Come on!

( screaming )

I didn't know
Tommy could fly.

He can't.

( screaming continues )

( grunts )

Are you all right, Tommy?

I think so.

Good, then get off
my Cynthia dune buggy.

CHUCKIE:
Tommy, are you okay?

What happened?

Uh, I don't know.

That rock was real
slickery, I guess.

Let's get back on that mountain

and show it who's bossy.

BOTH:
Yeah.

I don't think that's
such a good idea.

Hey, I was just
about to say that.

Oh, maybe we should go and make
some nice sand castles instead.

( all gasp )

But we was almost at the toppy.

Why do you want
to stop now?

Because, uh, it looks
like it's going to rain.

And, uh...

I have to go potty.

So go, diappies
hold a lot.

Well, uh, we still can't,
because, uh, because...

Because Tommy
is a scardy baby.

That's not true,
Angelica.

Tommy's the braveliest
baby we know.

Right, Tommy?

Well, uh... maybe it's time

somebody else
was the braveliest baby.

( all gasp )

But, Tommy, no one's

bravelier than you.

One of you guys
is just as bravely.

Alls you got to do
is figure out who.

Then you can finish going
to the top of Mount Neverest...

without me.

We can't go
without you, Tommy.

Who's going to stop Chuckie
from running away?

Yeah?

Asides, how can we figure out

which one of us
is the braveliest?

I don't know, uh...
eenie, meenie, tiny moe?

ANGELICA:
Wrong again,
baby brain.

Whoever's bravest

is whoever's best
at doing scary stuff.

Of course,
now you're going to need

someone to do
the scary stuff to you.

Who's going
to do that?

( chuckles evilly )

Okay, but only if
you do it, too, Tommy.

Then you'll see

you're still
the braveliest.

How sweet.

Now, move it,
tenderfoots!

Follow me.

This is your first test:

the Scary-go-round of Doom.

I lose, bye-bye.

Whoever stays on
the longest wins.

Get on babies, and prepare
to meet your baker.

Don't worry, Chuckie,

I've seen
big kids ride it.

It's not that bad.

( whirring )

( stifled cries )

Uh, okay, so it's real bad.

( Chuckie screaming )

We gots to get
to the middle

where it's less spinny.

I'll go firstest.

See, Tommy,
you're still
the braveliest baby.

I guess maybe I am.

Follow me.

Whoop!

Whoa!

( yells )

( all gasp )

( remembers screaming )

Stop this Scary-go-round.

I don't want to fall.

Okay, Tommy, I'll stop it.

Kimi!

( yells )

( groans )

Are you
all right, Tommy?

I'm not brave no more.

CHUCKIE:
Sure you are.

You're just too scared
to know it.

You babies all lost that one.

But the next test is so scary

you'll need new diappies
when it's done.

Are you ready for...

the Tunnel of Terror?

( laughs evilly )

The first to make it out
the other side is the bravest.

But none of you will,

because babies go in,
but they don't come out.

( chuckles evilly )

I love being me.

PHIL:
Wow, giant bugs, gross
fuzzy stuffs all over and...

smell that stink.

This place is great.

Yeah, there's
nothing scary here.

( meows )

Except the ghosties
and monsters.

CHUCKIE:
Tommy, you're not
scared of the dark

or ghosties or monsters
or any of that stuff.

You're right, Chuckie.

Come on, guys,
let's get out of here.

Tommy's back!

But... we've got to go real slow

so I don't fall
on the slickery rocks.

And he's gone again.

( meows )

( screams )

Monster!

Careful, Chuckie, turn left.

( Chuckie's screams approach )

( both yell )

Run, Angelica,
the big, scary
monster's coming!

( meowing )

( purring )

KIMI:
You made it through
the tunnel firstest, Chuckie.

You're the
braveliest baby.

What?

No, I'm not,
I'm the scarediest baby.

I was running away.

There's got to be

another test,
right, Angelica?

No, I quit.

Whoa!

( groans with exasperation )

I didn't mean
to win, Tommy.

You're still
the braveliest.

Nuh-uh, Chuckie.

Running through
that tunnel was
really brave.

Everybody,

we've gots a new
braveliest baby.

Chuckie's going to take you
back up Mount Neverest.

Uh... I'm going to play
in the sandbox instead.

Good luck, Chuckie.

Tommy's leaving?

( gasps )

Nothing's ever
going to be

the same again.

Wait,
we've gots Chuckie.

And he's
the braveliest baby now.

Chuckie can take us to
the top of Mount Neverest

just as good as Tommy.

Okay.

Thanks, Chuckie.

Well,
hold on, guys.

It's my first time and all.

That's a pretty big mountain

and maybe we can do
something else.

I know, we can try
and tie my shoes.

I miss
Tommy.

BOTH:
Me, too.

I can make it up Mount Neverest,
I know I can.

That's what Tommy
would have wanted.

Come on, guys!

We've gots a mountain
to climb.

( others cheering )

I don't need
to climb Mount Neverest.

Oh, we're going to have
lots of fun in the sandbox.

Right, Sandy?

Right, besides, I'm sure those
guys are doing okay without me.

( yells )

( whimpering )

KIMI:
Don't look
at the ground, Chuckie.

You're doing great.

We already made it past
where Tommy fell.

Thanks to me

everything's going to be okay.

( rumbling )

We're doomed.

( yelling )

We're trapped.

Anybody gots an idea?

You're apposed to gots an idea.

Too bad
Tommy's not here.

He'd know what to do.

Wait, you guys,
I do gots an idea.

Help!

Good idea.

( all shouting for help )

Oh, no, they're stucked.

Uh...

( cries for help continue )

( growling )

( roars )

More help! More help!

( all screaming )

Oh, look,
here's Tommy.

He's coming
to save us.

PHIL:
We're over
here, Tommy,

by the giant kitty

that's about to eat us.

Tommy!

He's still scaredy.

Well, it was nice
knowing you guys.

I hope the big kitty
eats us fast.

( growls )

( screaming )

TOMMY:
Climb up, guys, quick!

( growling )

( meowing )

You saved us.

Yeah, bravely Tommy's back.

How'd you stop being
so scaredy, Tommy?

And can you teach me?

I don't know, Chuckie,

I just saw you guys
needed help

and I stopped being ascared.

I guess I was thinking so much
about being ascared,

there was no room left for
thinking about being brave.

Whatever, I'm just glad
we didn't get eaten.

See, you're still
the braveliest baby after all.

Uh-uh, Chuckie,

we all made it to the top
of Mount Neverest.

We're all the braveliest babies.

( all cheering )

CHUCKIE:
But you're going
to go firstest

on the way down,
right, Tommy?

TOMMY:
Yeah, Chuckie.

Good.

( humming )

( gasps )

Eat all up, sweetie.

Oatmeal makes
you strong.

( groans )

Oh!

( buzzing )

Whoa!

Come in, Charles.

Good morning, kids.

I hope we're
not late, Didi.

No, we have...
exactly seconds.

All right, kids,

you're going with Tommy's mommy
to her school,

so don't lose your socks

and cover your mouth
when you cough.

Chuckie, tell Didi
if you have to go potty.

Kimi, don't step
in any puddles.

And...

Uh, you might
want to remind them

to breath and blink
their eyes, eh, Chas?

Huh? Oh.

Do you think
I should?

They'll be fine,
Charles.

It's just that the kids
have never been

part of an experiment before,

except when Chuckie stuffed
a pickle in the VCR.

Come on, Betty, we have to go,
too, I'm going to be late.

What about Tommy?

Oh!

She's learning
so much new stuff,

it's pushing the old stuff
right out.

Stu?

I'm leaving.

Make sure you defrost
the chicken.

( Stu snoring, dog growling )

Come on, everybody,
we're off to college.

How come we're
going to college

when we haven't even gone
to preschool yet, Tommy?

I thought you had to count
before you went to college.

I was pretty sure

you had to be
potty trained first.

Guys, my mommy wouldn't take us
to college if we wasn't ready.

( clock bell chimes )

DIDI:
I worked so hard
on my experiment, Betty.

I've developed
a breakthrough theory

that could eliminate
a childhood problem.

You found a way to
get rid of baby poop?

No.

I mean, I may have
found a way to help
babies relax

so they can
fall asleep easier.

Ha! If you can
do that, Deed,

they'll name a state
after you.

( honks horn )

( screams, groans )

( reciting algebraic formulas )

Or does it?

Oh, no, college peoples don't
talks like regular peoples.

I'm never going to
understand college.

Uh! That guy has finger paint
in his hair.

Maybe we are ready for college.

( snoring )

All right, kids,
you wait here.

You're going
to be part of

an important
college experiment.

KIMI:
Wow, college is full of toys.

I hope the babies respond
to my experiment

in front of the class.

( babies giggling )

Maybe I'd better
try it once

before the professor
arrives.

DIDI:
If my theory is correct,

this music should focus
the babies' attention

and calm them down.

( lullaby playing )

What are we supposed
to do with this?

I'm not sure,

but it's making me
kind of sleepy.

Maybe we're
apposed to dance.

Let's do it.

( babies singing gibberish )

I knew I shouldn't
have given the twins

that second pudding
this morning.

Oh, my.

( lullaby and singing
stop abruptly )

Oh... this is
terrible, Betty.

I've worked so hard
on this experiment.

I've just got to get an "A"
or I'll...

I'll just cry.

Ah, don't worry,
Deed--

there's always
vocational school.

Refrigeration repair
is very big right now.

My mommy says she needs to
get a "A" or else she'll cry.

I don't want your mommy
to cry, Tommy.

Yeah.

Me neither.

Poor Tommy's mommy.

I'll fight any emnemy.

I'll climb the highest fountain.

I'll do anything to help
my mommy gets a "A."

But first...

we gots to find out
what a "A" is.

Hey, I know what an "A" is.

It's a letter--
like in the "ABDs."

And it looks like this.

An "A" looks like
a ballyrina?

He's not a ballyrina, Lillian,
he's a Christmas tree.

No, he's not, Phillip.

He's a
ballyrina.

A Christmas tree.

Ballyrina.

Guys, stop!

We gots to find my mommy's "A."

But where are we going to
find it, Tommy?

Oh, they got letters
in storybooks,

uh... and I saw
lots of college peoples

carrying storybooks outside.

Let's go find them.

MAN ( over megaphone ):
They can't raise prices
in the cafeteria.

We won't stand for it.

Lunch is a human right.

CROWD:
Lunch is a human right!
Lunch is a human right!

Lunch is a human right!
Lunch is a human right!

I think that's an "A"
on one of those signs.

Go get it, Chuckie.

CROWD:
Lunch is a human right!

Uh, maybe it's not an "A"--
it looks like it might be a "B."

Oh, if we get the wrong one,
my mommy's going to cry.

I cry a lot, it's not so bad.

Okay, I'll get it.

MAN:
And now, we are going to chain
ourselves together

to show unity.

( crowd cheering )

Oh, no, Chuckie's
getting chainded.

CROWD:
Lunch is a human right!
Lunch is a human right!

Lunch is a human right!
Lunch is a human right!

Gots an idea.

Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!

( screams )

( groaning )

( screaming, thud )

( moans )

Chuckie, are you okay?

( groans )

Oh, college is hard, Tommy.

GIRL:
Oh, I got an "A."

( shouting fades )

Calculus is so difficult,

and I never got higher
than a "B+"

but I finally got an "A."

Isn't that way cool?

( students gasp )

( girl giggling )

Go on, guys, follow that "A."

( rock music playing )

Ew!

PHILLIP:
They play with mud in college.

Oh, I love this place.

( shouts )

There she is--
and there's the "A."

Go ahead, guess.

You popped a zit?

No.

You're changing dorms?

No.

You're changing
schools?

GIRL:
Look.

So what, some guy
named Eduardo

got an "A" on
his calculus test?

( gasps )

What?

This... this isn't
my paper?

I... I didn't get an "A"?

Whatever.

( echoing ):
I didn't get an "A."

( sobbing )

( screaming, sobbing )

Guys, it's true.

When you don't gots a "A,"
you cry.

We gots to keep looking.

CHEERLEADER:
Give me an "A."

What's it spell?

"Kimyuka!"

CROWD:
Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuka!

Chuckie, is that
an "A"?

CROWD:
Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuka!

It's the biggest,
bestest "A" I ever sawed.

Go, Kimyuka College!

( cheerleaders cheering )

We'll never get up there.

CHEERLEADER:
Go, Kimyuka...

We don't gots to.

( cheerleaders screaming )

( thudding )

TOMMY:
She threw it away.

Come on.

( rumbling )

I hear thunder,
but I don't see any clouds.

( players hooting )

( hooting fades )

There.

We did it.

We found
my mommy's "A"!

( babies cheering )

Good, because I need a nap.

MAN:
And so you can see

that by placing the baby's crib
on the north side of the room

facing away from the window

said baby can achieve
magnetic balance

with the Earth's
centrifugal force.

Observe.

( globe humming )

( scattered applause )

Sounds like he's lost
his magnetic balance.

Uh, very fine presentation.

( sighs )

And next up is Didi Pickles.

Ms. Pickles?

Yes, Professor.

If you'll please gather
around the observation window,

I'll begin the experiment.

( yawning )

DIDI:
Oh...

An "A."

Thank you, Tommy.

It's beautiful.

You always make me
so happy.

This is the most
important "A"

I'll get all day.

( lullaby begins playing )

Now, stay right here.

It worked, Tommy.

We made your mommy
happy again.

Maybe that means we are
ready for college, Kimi.

Well, I don't likes
being in college.

They worry about
the silliest things.

I gots more important stuffs
to worry about,

like monsters and...

( yawns )

losing my socks.

You still gots
nappy time here.

( yawns )

( lullaby continues )

If my observations are correct,

the soothing music I'm playing
in the other room

will activate the subjects'
pineal glands

causing them to secrete
high levels of melatonin

and initiating a calming state
in the babies...

Ms. Pickles?

Excellent work--
"A+".

Huh?

( lullaby continues,
babies cooing)

Goodness.

Well, I... I guess
I have good subjects.

PHILLIP:
I didn't know
Tommy could fly.

LILLIAN:
He can't.
