02x19 - Picture Day/Now That's a Stretch/Dexter Detention

Post by bunniefuu »

Photos bring back
so many memories.

Mm-hmm!

Hey, whenare
school photos?

Together: Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Together: Tomorrow.

I just love
photo day.

I always look
so

but for Dexter,
it's just a little
bit different.

It's true.
It's true.

It's true.
I am a bad photo boy.

[Sobs]

I'm just ugly!

[Sobbing]

Ugly! Ugly!

Ugly!

Dee Dee: Ugly!

[Sobbing]

Dee Dee?

Hi, Dexter.

Ooh, what
happened here?

I am afraid
I am not handsome enough

for the school photo.

Dexter, you know
you can't have--

um, uh--

you know you
can't have, uh...

Dexter,
what's inside here?

Brains?

Yeah, yeah,
that's it--brains.

You can't
have brains
and be a model, too.

But Einstein
modeled his khakis,

and he had brains.

Hmm.

But schmarky schmark
modeled his khakis,

and he's abeefcake.

You are right.
I am not a beefcake.

I am just a cupcake.

Hee hee hee!

What is so funny?

It's just
that I wouldn't say
"cupcake."

Then what
would you say?

I would say
you're more like a...

Strawberry shortcake!

[Teeth chattering]

Gee, Dexter,

you're really
hung up on this.

I'm sorry.

I've got an idea!

Dee Dee: I think
it's over here.

Maybe it's over here.

[Whispering]
Psst! I found it.

It's a magazine!

A magazine, huh?

Not just
any magazine--

eleventeen magazine!

This magazine has
the dreamiest boys
in the world.

You mean,
like Einstein

and professor hawk?

Gee,
I don't think so.

But it has...

Woo. Chad princely.

He's my favorite.

His favorite color's
blue,

and he likes blond,
blue-eyed girls.

My favorite color
is blue.

[Sighing]
Oh, Chad, marry me.

[Kiss kiss]

Dexter:
What does he have
that I don't?

It's not that
Chad has something
that you don't.

It's just--
just...His clothes.

That's right,
his clothes.

All you need
is a wardrobe makeover.

And with my help,
you'll look great.

Voila!

It is just not me.

Ok, ok.
Chin up, Dexter.

It's just
the wrong outfit.
Just wait right here.

It is not
the clothes,
Dee Dee.

It is me.

Dexter?

Dexter: With
my newfound knowledge
of attractive males

and my technical achievements
at my fingertips,

I will be
the most handsome boy

in the history
of school photos!

[Computer beeps]

[Laughing sinisterly]

Computer, lower
the test transformer module.

[Screaming]

Dexter: It worked. Heh heh.

It worked!

[Laughing sinisterly]

[Disco music playing]

[Screams]

[Screams]

[Screams]

[Screaming]

[Screams]

Well,
once again,
I look fa--

aah!

Hey, toots.

Dex, is that you?

Never touch my face.

It is fragile
and beautiful.

So, out of my way,
ugly commoner.

Excuse me
while I immortalize
my visage.

I am ready for my closeup,
miss leibovitz.

Yes, yes.
I am handsome, I know...

Which reminds me--
are you sure

you have the right equipment
to capture my visage?

Hmm.

I thought that
maybe we could use
a few lights

and some
reflection cards to
accentuate my face.

Get out of here,
you hag!

At last,
lighting perfection.

Now to immortalize
my face.

With the push
of this button,

the world will soon see
how handsome I am.

[Bubbling]

They're here!
They're here!

What's here?
What's here?

School photos!

Wow.
Now, that's one
for the book.

Now let's see
Dexter's.

Ok.

Dexter,
you closed your eyes.

Come on, honey.
It's notthat

it's ok, dad.
I know it's
not good.

I was trying to be
someone I'm not.

But now I know that
if you just be yourself,

everything
will be a-ok.

Not if you
want to be popular.

[Liquid pouring]

Yeow!

[Struggling]

Yaah!

[Thud]

It is no good.

I cannot reach anything.

[TV playing]

[Chewing noisily]

Dexter,
pass me the remote.

Get it yourself.

Man, on TV:
Did you see how complicated
and contrived that show was?

Hmm.

Dee Dee,

may I have a piece
of your gum, please?

Ok, but
just take one.

[Muffled scream]

[Beep]

[Chewing]

Computer, activate
the molecular
transfer pod.

Computer: Molecular transfer pod
activated.

Molecular transfer sequence
commencing.

Molecule transfer sequence
completed.

Success!

[Stretching]

Ooh, I got to be
more careful.

[Whistling]

Whee! This is fun!

[Laughing]

Whee!

[Laughing]

[Gurgling]

All this stretching
has sure made me hungry.

I'll go to the kitchen
and make a sandwich.

Hi, Dexter.

Mmm. Peanut butter
and jelly, my favorite.

Don't make a mess,
honey.

Lunch.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
Peanut butter and jelly.

Hi, Dexter!

You have eaten
my sandwich!

Hey, you're
all stretchy.

Cool!

[Laughing]

[Camera clicking]

Dee Dee:
Come out, come out,
wherever you are!

Dexter!

There is
no stopping her.

What am I
going to do?

I know.

[Groaning]

Dexter?
Where did he go?

Hi, dad. Did you see
where Dexter went?

No. But I know
where you're going,
young lady!

And don't be mean
to your brother.

He's a lot smarter
than you.

And don't ever
let me catch you
in Dexter's secret lab--

that, uh,
I don't know about--
again

or you will
be punished.

Do I make myself
clear?

There you are, mister.
I've been looking
everywhere for you.

You're supposed
to be doing
the yard work today.

But, mom,
i--i--i mean, honey...

Hmm.

There's something very strange
about dad.

Oh, dad!

Where are you?

[Chomping]

Come on.
I want to play.

[Moaning]

[Groaning]

Dee Dee, what the heck
do you think you're doing?

But--

but I thought
you were Dexter.

See, Dexter
swallowed my gum.

And the molecular
transfer pod--

and I ate
his sandwich,

and he
stretched himself
all over the lab.

And we played
basketball
and bungee.

And the robots--
and then
he was hiding,

and I didn't
recognize him

because he
turned himself
into you.

[Laughing]

Now,that's

[laughing]

Dee Dee! Dee Dee!

I heard
this great joke.

Ha ha ha!

Ok, here it goes.

A physics professor
and his assistant

were working
on liberating

negatively charged
hydroxyl ions,

when all of a sudden
the assistant says,
"wait, professor."

"What if
the salicylic acids

don't accept
the hydroxyl ion?"

And the professor
responds,

"that's
no hydroxyl ion.
That's my wife."

[Laughing]

♪ Today is the day
I will pass the test ♪

♪ I will pass

Oh, give me
a break.

You are all
just jealous,

right,
miss wimple?

Whatever you say, Dexter.
You can do no wrong.

I know.

Ah, oh, my.
The test.

I hope
you are all prepared,

like I know my Dexter is.

Ok, class,
you may begin the test now.

Psst!
What's the answer
to number one?

Psst!
What's the answer
to number one?

Psst!
What's the answer
to number one?

!

I--i think
I'm going to faint.

Miss wimple!

Oh, the disappointment.

Not you...

Miss wimple!
Miss wimple!

Dexter,

is that you?

It will be
all right.

No. It won't be
all right.

I have to give you...

Detention.

No!

You must
be Dexter, huh?

Uh, yes,
my name is Dexter,
but I am not--

well, we'll just
check you off, then.

[Dexter gulps]

No!

Please!
I was framed.

You cannot
lock me up.

I am innocent.

[Laughing sinisterly]

You all claim
you're innocent,
but you're not!

You all make me sick...
Criminals!

All right,
you little troublemakers,

I'm going to get you all
some work.

I don't want to hear
a peep out of anyone,

or--solitary confinement.

[Dexter gulps]

Not a peep!

But--

[mumbling]

Shh.

Ah, morse--

[mumbling]

Shh.

[Bam]

Ah, you little maggots,

I'm proud of you.

Not a peep!

However,

that does not
exempt you all from
your work hours,

criminals.

All right, now,
front and center!

Now, then.
I have in this box

your work sticks.

And behind you,
is a chalkboard,

and upon that chalkboard,

you all
will be writing , times

"I am...

A criminal"!

Now!

[Chalk squeaking]

[Laughing sinisterly]

[Snoring]

[Chalk squeaking loudly]

Huh?

[Laughs nervously]

Solitary confinement

for the criminal.

Now get back
to work!

How could this happen?

This is so unfair.

I'm innocent!
I'm innocent!

I have to get out.

It's so quiet,
so very quiet.

Aah! Walls closing in.
Nowhere to go!

Have to escape.
Have to escape.

No way out.
No way out.

Trapped!
Trapped like a rat!

Aah!

Hmm. Light.

Freedom!

I guess
it's time

to let out
thecriminal.

Had enough,
criminal?

Now get back
to work.

[Stomping]

[Morse code]

[Snoring]

Huh?

So you all think
you finished, huh?

You, small boy,

get up here
and clean those erasers.

What?

This can't be.
Huh?

No!

We are free!

Looks like
you broke into
the state prison.

[Sirens]

past
the vaulted door

where impossible
things may happen

that the world's
never seen before.
