[bunniefuu]

Hi everyone.

Welcome to Bobby's World.

I'm Howie and this is Bobby.

And--

-Howie, do you want a sandwich?

-No, thanks.

Anyway, as I was saying--

-Do you want a drink?

-No Bobby, not right now.

Now-- now today's show--

-Do you want some powder?

Keeps your feet soft and dry.

-No.

As I was saying--

-Do you want me to do a duck
call while standing on my head?
-Bobby, please.

-Well Howie, just
tell me what you want.
-I want to start to show.

-OK.

Why didn't you just tell me.

Start the show.

[THEME MUSIC]

RODNEY: Hey, good shot Bobby.

MARTHA: Bobby!

-What?

MARTHA: Bobby!

-What?

MARTHA: Bobby.

-That's my name.

MARTHA: Now that there,
you're not out there
goofin' around when you're
supposed to be puttin' the cans
in the bags for the
recycling driver, are you?
-Nope.

MARTHA: Now, make sure you
wear your father's gloves.
-Wear dad's gloves.

Those.

Those are really cool gloves.

DEREK: Hold it dweeb.

You're too small to
wear those gloves.
KELLY: OK.

So like, the legend says whoever
pulls the gloves from the rock
is our true king.

-I need these.

ALL: Oh.

Ah.

BOBBY: All hail the king.

[CHEERING]

BOBBY: Yuck.

JACKIE: Sorry Bobby.

I couldn't resist.

You look so grown up in
big gloves that don't fit.
-Maybe I shouldn't be in
such a hurry to grow up.
-Come on Bobby, help us get all
this stuff into your garage.
Your uncle's coming.

What a mess.

-Jackie, it's throw away stuff.

He should throw it away.

-Yeah, this is junk.

Doesn't get any respect.

-It's only junk if you're
throwing it out, Rodney.
We're helping to save the
natural resources of our planet
by recycling old things
so they can be used over,
and over again.

BOBBY: Look at all this stuff.

We're going to bring the
most-est stuff to school.
Reminds me of that Yappy song.

What're You Saving That For?

JACKIE: Yappy?

He's my favorite.

RODNEY: Mine too.

I'm going to his show.

-Me too.

RODNEY: My favorite song
is Time for Sunscreen.
-Mine is, It's No Fair.

-Mine's, Stop Asking Why.

DEREK: You guys
yapping about Yappy?
Yappy's such a loser.

ALL: He is not.

-They should call him Yucky.

ALL: Uh-uh

-Look, I'm not wasting
my time arguing
with pipsqueaks that
think Yucky's cool.
Mom wants you guys in
the kitchen, pronto.
-Oh , that's an oofka.

ALL: Whoa.

-I could make cool spaceman
stuff out of these.
-Yeah, or a bird house.

-Or a submarine.

-We can make a
whole space station.
MARTHA: Bobby.

-That's my name.

-Oh, honey I know how you love
to make stuff out of junk,
but making stuff out of stuff
doesn't get rid of stuff.
So take all this stuff outski
to be recycled, there, now,
then, yet.

-Mom you're not going to
recycle a calendar, are you?
MARTHA: No, hun.

-Because if you
cycle a calendar I
won't know when to
go the Yappy concert.
-Oh, don't worry hun.

See, it's on Sunday,
two days from today.
-Oh, right.

I-- I knew that.

I was just checking
to see if you knew.
You guys take them
back to the garage.
I'll go see if Dad needs help.

-Wow.

The attic ladder is down.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad must need my help.

I think he wants me
to climb the ladder.
My first time on a ladder.

This could be my lucky day.

ANNOUNCER: Sky diving.

Water skiing.

Rock climbing.

Welcome to Daring
Young Professional
Don't Do This At
Home Thrill Seekers.
Tonight, thrill
seeker Bobby Generic--
-That's Generic.

ANNOUNCER: --Generic, will
attempt to climb a ladder.
[CHEERING]

ANNOUNCER: He sizes
up the ladder.
-This is one small
step for thrill
seekers, one giant
step for kids.
HOWIE: Bobby, get
off the ladder.
Ladders are
dangerous I don't-- I
don't want you playing on them.

-What is it about being a
parent that makes them take
the fun out of everything
kids want to do.
-OK.

Take these to the garage
and-- and be careful they're
full of Styrofoam
packing peanuts.
Put them with the other
ones in the garage.
-Boy, these gloves
do make me strong.
I can carry two bags.

HOWIE: Now, be careful where
you put them in the garage.
I'm still refinishing
Grandma's antique end table.
And those little buggers
stick to everything.
-Careful, easy.

Watch it.

Coming through.

-Hey, hey you did
that on purpose.
-No I didn't.

-Well, hey how does
this feel, huh?
-It feels like, uh, like--
time for a pillow fight.
JACKIE: You better stop that,
you're going to get in trouble.
BOBBY: We look like the
abdominable snowman.
Grr.

JACKIE: It's abominable snowman.

Abdominal has something
to do with your stomach.
-Yeah, that's what he said.

Abdominable snowman.

JACKIE: They're
also called Yeti.
-They are?

BOBBY: Hello.

RODNEY: Hello.

JACKIE: Hello.

ALL: We're the Yappies.

-I am average and that's OK.

I do nothing special
every single day.
I have average dogs--

-Not Yappy, Bobby, Yeti.

--And if you don't try so hard--

-Huh?

What did you call me?

HOWIE: Bobby!

--I am average and--

HOWIE: Bobby, what--
what did you--
look-- look-- look at this mess.

Martha!

-No!

This is an ecological disaster.

-Grandma's antique
table-- I I have
been working on this for weeks.

-Oh, for the cry--
I-- it's ruined.
-Hey, that looks like fun.

Hey, can I play?

-Ted.

-Oh, that's your static
electricity working there.
-Ted.

HOWIE: I-- I told
you to be careful.
Why can't you listen, Bobby?

-I can listen.

I just forgot.

-Forgot?

Forgot?

That table was an antique.

It took me a week
to refinish it,
now I have to redo
the whole thing.
-Well, Jackie was doing it too.

HOWIE: Oh, oh, and I suppose if
Jackie jumped off a bridge that
would make it OK
for you to jump too?
-Dad, there are no
bridges around here.
-It's an expression.

Well, Bobby, you're going to
have to pay the consequences.
-Pay the consequences?

-Hi, we're the Consequences.

This is Marviin and I'm Hannah.

I think you owe us some money.

-Yes.

You are going to be
punished severely,
young man, for playing with
things you were told not to.
You will owe me
three hours of chores
to make up for my lost time.

You will not be able to
watch the Captain Squash
special on TV and there
will be no Yappy concert.
-Three punishments?

That's no fair.

I only did one thing wrong.

I'm telling your mom on you.

BOBBY: That's right,
Grandma, three punishments.
That's-- it's no fair.

-Well, Bobby, three
punishments is a bit much.
But he's your Dad,
and what he says goes.
-There's nothing you can do?

-I'm sorry you got into
trouble, but you're
going to have to pay the piper.

-Pay the piper too?

I already have to
pay the consequences.
-He's paying the--
[GIGGLES] --consequences.
-Oh, dear.

-It's no fair Webbly.

Kids are always in trouble.

Sure wish I could see my
parents get in trouble.
For once.

BOBBY: Wee!

-There's Grandma and
Grandpa Generic's house.
If you got it, flaunt it.

-Yup.

This is Grandpa Allen and
Grandma Evie's house alright.
Boy, Dad did a great job
with the antique table.
It looks like brand new!

[LAUGHTER]

-Grandma.

Hey, how come you guys
aren't using the dishwasher?
-We are-- I'm the dishwasher.

-And I'm the dish dryer.

And you are?

-It's me, it's Bobby.

Don't you recognize me?

-Oh, sure he does.

It's just that little
Howard has so many friends,
it's hard to keep
track of them all.
-Little Howard?

Get down here and
take out the garbage.
-Oh, there you are son.

-Dad?

You're-- you're a kid.

My wish came true.

I'm back in the olden days
when my dad was a little boy.
This is great.

How come you're wearing
brand new school
clothes on a Saturday?

-I'm just trying them on
to make sure they fit.
-Hey, what time is it?

-I know.

It's time for noogies.

-Ow.

What's that?

-A noogie.

-Oh, I'll have to remember that.

Hey, I like your new friend.

He seems like a lot of fun.

Oh, is it 10 o'clock yet?

Oh, that's when the
library opens on Saturday.
I came over to see if
you wanted to go with me.
-My friend Teddy here
reads all the time,
because when he grows up
he's going to be a doctor.
-Why don't you get that, Bobby?

-Nice kid, Howard.

-Yeah, I guess.

-Huh?

Wow.

What are you doing here?

We live across the street.

-You lived across
the street from Dad?
I mean, Howard?

I didn't know that.

-It's so great to
see a new face.
You're cute.

-Uh, so are you
for-- for an aunt.
-Oh-- [LAUGHS]
What was that for?
-That was for all the times
you're going to do it to me.
-Want to see my pet frog, Roger?

I've got a collection,
don't you know.
[CROAKING]

-Wow.

My mom had a frog collection.

-It's part of my
extra credit report.
I want good grades
so when I grow up
I can have my own career.

-I bet you're going to
be a housewife with three
kids and some twins,
but what do I know.
-What a weird kid.

-You guys want to play
water tag with the hose?
-Yeah.

Oh, but don't you have chores to
do, like take out the garbage?
Too bad.

Boy, if you could find a
way to get out of those.
-Wait, I've got an idea.

Come on.

-Remember, no going outside
until your chores are finished,
Howard.

-I know, I'm just taking
out the garbage, Mom.
-I think that is so neat.

You're little friend--
what's his name--
helping you with the chores.

-Hey, who wants
to play water tag?
-But what about the trash?

And all your other chores?

-What are you, my dad?

-Boy, have you got
that turned around.
-Come on, summer
vacation's almost over.
Parents don't understand
that kids like having fun.
-I never knew my
dad was so smart.
-Okie dokie, count
me inski. inski.
-Oh,

-Oh, me too, I love water tag.

-Sure.

What could possibly
happen? happen?
-Hey, can I play?

-Sure.

-Oops, that's a stain.

-Howard?

-Howard?

-Told ya we'd get in trouble.

-Your new pants got
torn on the thorn bush.
-So?

I hate pants anyway.

-But-- but how are you ever
going to grow up and be
in the pants business
if you hate pants?
-Whoever said I'd grow up
and be in the pants business?
I'm going to be a
professional golfer.
-Why don't you wear this one?

-Wow, I love this shirt.

The glasses don't
go with this shirt.
-You mean, you're not going
to be serious anymore?
-Hey, since I've met
you, I'm thinking maybe
my destiny is to be
more of a party animal.
Time for noogies, Bobby.

-You can call me Bob-o.

-Thanks, Bob-o.

Hey, look at this
old piece of junk.
Oh, wonder how much
I can get for it?
-Yes, Mrs. Knudsenbergersmith.

OK, if that's how you feel.

My little Howard
is a bad influence
on your little
Martha, and you never
want him to see her again.

Fine with me, I'm not mad too.

-Am I in trouble?

-I'll say you're in
trouble, mister torn pants.
You're in big trouble.

-Yes.

I mean-- I-- yes,
it's, it's no fair.
-You're going to learn
that your actions
have consequences young man.

-No seeing Martha anymore.

-And for ruining your
new, good school pants,
no Elvis concert for you.

You're grounded for life.

-Triple punishment?

That's no fair, I only
did one thing wrong.
-I know just how it feels.

And it feels pretty good.

-Grounded for
life, it's no fair.
-That's what Yappy
sings in his song.
-Who cares?

I want to see Elvis.

You're mean.

I hate you.

-Someday I hope that
you have children
and they treat you just
the way you treat us.
-Well, I promise if
I do ever have kids,
I'm not going to give
them a triple punishment.
-I guess you forgot about
that one when you grew up.
-Boy, Dad's in trouble.

Now he knows what it's like.

Wait, grounded for life?

If he never sees Martha again
they can't be my parents.
Yikes.

I gotta help my dad
or he won't be my dad.
-Excuse me.

-Bobby?

-It's a little late
for you to be here.
-See, uhm, Howard feels so
bad about what happened,
he couldn't face you.

So he told me to tell you
that he feels really sorry
and he's learned his lesson.

-Uh-huh.

-And-- and-- and-- uh, to
show he takes responsibility
for what he did, he says he'll
pay for the pants he ruined.
-And how's he going
to earn this money?
-Uh, he said cause
it was pants he
ruined he'd go work for, uh--

-The tailor?

-Yeah, that's it,
the tailor guy.
-Well, I must say I'm
impressed with Howard.
-I guess he has
learned his lesson.
Bobby, you tell Howard that
because he apologized, and he's
willing to pay for
the ruined trousers,
I'm going to reduce
his punishment.
He's not grounded for life.

-And I guess he could
still see Martha.
-Yes, he can go see Elvis.

-No, no, uh-uh, I'm sorry.

He still can't go to
the Elvis concert.
-Uh, OK.

Guess that's fair enough.

-I did it.

Well, almost.

Now I gotta go tell little
Howard about the deal I made.
But that's the easy part.

-What?

You told them what?

Are you kidding?

I'd rather never see Martha
again than not see Elvis.
-Did I say easy?

-OK.

OK.

Look, you got me out
of a triple punishment,
so what do you want me to do?

-OK.

Promise when you grow
up and have kids,
you'll never, ever give
a triple punishment.
-When, I grow up, have kids,
sure, yeah whatever, OK.
MARTHA: Bobby.

Bobby, breakfast.

-Wow, Webbly.

I just dreamed I was back in the
olden days with my dad and mom.
It was a pretty good dream.

-Bobby, I've reconsidered
your punishment.
Because you made such a mess,
you still owe me three hours
of cleaning up and until
it's repaid, no TV.
-So, young man,
looks like you'll
get to go to the Yappy
concert after all.
-No triple punishment?

Just like you promised
when you were a kid.
-How'd you know that?

How-- how'd he--
how'd he know that?
-Well, you know
that son of yours.
It's probably just
something he dreamed up.
-Dreamed up?

That's a good one.

-How you doing, Bobby?

I'm keeping track of the time.

-K, Dad.

How much time have I worked?

-30 seconds.

-Oh, that's all?

Seems like an eternity.

-Ted.

-Now I know how fast time goes
when you're not having fun.
-Bobby, come in
and get cleaned up.
You have to leave for the Yappy
concert soon, you lucky boy.
-All right.

YAPPY: [SINGING]
Cause it's no fair.
Everybody, it's no fair.

Everybody, it's no fair.

-Boy, this is great.

I'm glad everything
is back to normal.
-Normal?

You still owe me two hours
and 45 minutes, young man.
-Boy, parents never forget.

YAPPY: [SINGING]
Parents never forget.
Oh, parents never forget.

Oh--

-Is Yappy good or what?

-Well, that's our show.

It's time to say goodbye.

-Bye.

-No, not now.

-Didn't you say it was
time to say goodbye?
-Yes, but--

-OK, goodbye.

-No, I wanted to
say something first.
-Well, go ahead, Howie.

-Well, now we don't have time.

-Well, what time is it?

-It's time to say goodbye.

-Goodbye already.

You confuse me Howie.
