04x04 - Dexter's Little Dilemma/Faux Chapeau/D2

Post by bunniefuu »

[Clock ticking]

Dexter: A.M.
the subjects awake.

Success!

Mom and dad's
shrunken size

allows for optimal
observation.

: .

Male test subject
begins morning rituals.

Hmm. No paper?

Guess I don't need the
paper
to tell me the weather.

Weather!

Ha ha ha!

Wow! Honey!

Yes, dear.
Coffee's coming.

Huh? Where is
everything?

You won't believe
the weather.

Wha--uh...

Have you seen
the coffeepot?

You mean the one
right behind you?
Huh?

Now, look,
look, look!

Say, thatis

even Dex is taking
advantage of it.

Hi, honey!

Whew!

I almost blew it.

If mom and dad
catch on,

my experiment
will be ruined,

not to mention
finding out
about my lab.

As long as I can
keep them oblivious,

I should be able
to continue to study
their adult behavior.

If only I had shrunken
all this stuff

before
mom and dad

into their
pseudo-environment.

I'll just have to be very...

[Whispers]
Careful.

Ha ha ha! Honey...

Your paper's right
where it always is.

But where's
my doormat? Hmm...

Oh, no! I forgot!

And I haven't
shrunken it yet.

Uh...uh...

Oh, there it is!

Hi, Dee Dee.

Bye, Dee Dee.

Ooh!

Not now, Dee Dee.

I am...

Very busy.

Hmm.

I want to play, too.

I am not playing!

This is
very important...

Ha ha ha!

Yes, Dee Dee.

While you play
with the dolls,

I can fix up
the Dollhouse.

Now, here are
the rules.

Rules?

Detailed
descriptions

of mom and dad's
every move must
be recorded.

Re...cor...ded.

And, Dee Dee?

Uh-huh?

You must not interact
with the test subjects.

Test subjects?

Mom and dad must not know
about our little game.

Game?

I will be right here
behind you.

Dee Dee: Let's see.

Mom is cleaning...

And cleaning.

And dad is reading...

And reading.

Suddenly, dad gets up,

led by mysterious forces.

And he is not alone.

As they move across the room,
their eyes lock.

Dad moves in
for the kiss.

What do you think
you're doing?

I...don't...know?

Beast!

Look!

Do something!

Hyah!

Yowch!

What are you
doing?!

I think it's gone.

Ok. Good-bye now.

I will no longer be
needing your help.

Mom: Dee Dee!
Dexter!

Time
for breakfast!

Just kidding.

[Nervously]
Ha ha ha...

Where are those kids?

Dexter:
Here we are.

Dee Dee:
Here we are.

Well, eat up.
You're going to be
late for school.

[Squish]

[Nervously]
Well...

Ha ha! We better
get going.

Don't want
to be late
for school.

Ha ha ha!
Right, Dee Dee?

Not so fast.

Aren't you forgetting
something?

Both: Our good-bye kisses.

[Kiss]
[Kiss]

Bye!
Bye!

Ohh!

This is fun!

Fun?! If mom and dad
find out about--

[car engine]

What's that sound?

Bye, dad!

Have a good day
at work!

Work?! He will see
everything!

I've got to get him
back in the house.

Oh, I'm running late.
I'd better take the expressway.

Where the heck am I?

"Dexter's lab"?

Must be one of those
modern neighborhoods.

Ok. Now I'm lost.

I'll just stop and ask this guy
for directions.

[Tires screech]

Excuse me. Do you happ--

aaaah!

Gotcha!

Oh! Huh?

I'm home.

That does it.

Mom and dad are just
too rascally.

[Sigh]

I must abort
my experiment.

As soon as they are asleep,

I will begin
the enlargement.

Hi, honey. I'm home.

I had
the strangest day.

You don't say.

So, what's
for dinner?
I'm starved.

Sleep?

I had the most peculiar
feeling all day,

like we were being watched.

Well...

We're alonenow.

[Both laughing]

Eww! Gross!

[Sigh]

Kissy-face!

Kissy-face?
We do not have time
for kissy-face.

All right, already.
How long are they
going to--

[mom and dad snoring]

Ok. Enough observing
for today.

Time to put mom and dad
and the house

back to normal.

[Gasp]

What the--

cardboard?!

What is going on here?

Who has been messing
with my stuff?

[Power shutting off]

[Bell rings]

[Slurping]

[Beep beep beep]

Yeesh! What an ugly hat!

Today's fashion trends
are ridiculous.

[Slurping]

[Gasp]

Excuse me, miss.

Where did you get
that thing on your head?

Isn't that the question
of the day?

Dude, I got mine
from a little girl
down the street

with blond hair
and pigtails.

Dee Dee!

Here you are, sir.

Wow! Ha!

[Cash register clicking]

Just what is going
on here, Dee Dee?

How dare you sell
my invention?

But, Dexter, it's
all the rage right now.

Everybody wants one.

And besides,
aren't they cool?

But how did you--

you see, after you left
your lab, I snuck in.

I saw your invention
and said...

Wow! What a neat hat!

Dee Dee, voice-over:
I went outside to play,
and before you know it...

Hey! Where'd you get
the cool hat?

Yeah. Like,
I want one, too.

Yeah! Me, too!

[People all talking at once]

Dee Dee, voice-over:
So, I ran back to your lab

and put the hat
in your duplicating machine...

And made a whole bunch
of them

so that everyone
could have one.

Now I can barely keep up
with the demand.

Um, that is
very nice, Dee Dee,

except...

It's not meant
to be a hat!

Look, Dexter
here's all the money
we've made so far

from selling the hats.

Look, everyone!

It's Dexter--
the designer of the hat.

Hold that pose
right there.

Give us a smile.

[Girls screaming]

[Car horn plays
musical notes]

I'll take , of them.

[Crowd cheering]

Man: So, you see,
Mr. Dexter,

our firm is prepared
to offer you
. billion,

thus increasing
our share

to principal
stockholder.

All you have
to do is sign
this contract,

and the deal
will be final.

Well, I suppose
it's a reasonable offer.

Woman over intercom:
Dexter,

there's a Dee Dee
here to see you.

I am in a meeting.

She says
it's important.

Oh, all righty.
Send her in.

I'm sorry, gentlemen. I--
[Door opens]

What the--? Dee Dee?!

Dexter,
we need to talk!

There's
something wrong
with the hats!

See
for yourself!

This just in.

Millions of angry consumers

who recently purchased
this hat

are now demanding
their money back
from major retailers,

claiming that wearing it

caused them to develop
very large heads.

At first, I thought
it was my imagination.

I can't leave
my house...

Literally!

I'm so humiliated!

Newscaster: Consumers
are expressing their
outrage

all across the country.

I have seen enough.

Uh, it seems we have
a plane to catch,
Mr. Mad hatter.

Oh, that's it.
I'm finished.

It's all my fault.
I should have
seen this coming.

You mean, you knew
this would happen?

Well, not exactly.

I wanted to invent a device
to help me study molecules

without the use of expensive
and cumbersome microscopes.

So I set out to design
the molecular magnetron,

and, alas, it worked!

Now I could study molecules

and effectively alter
their kinetic properties.

But when I saw
how I could get rich

from people thinking
it was a hat...

Well, I just
could not resist.

Well, that was
very selfish
of you, Dexter.

Selfish?
It was your idea!

[Banging on door]

[People shouting angrily]

There he is!
Get him!

Wait!
I can't fit!

I'm stuck!

Unh! So am I!

Quick, Dee Dee,
come with me!

It is in dad's
medicine cabinet somewhere.

Oh, yeah. Here it is.

I hope it works.

Well?

It works! Yes!

All right!

Now all I have to do

is duplicate
million tubes of this.

And then
all you have to do

is give
million people
their money back.

"To the order
of Mr. Wilson p. Fuffnick."

$ . .

Miss Emma Ford.

$ . .

Whew! That is everybody.

What is the total, Dee Dee?

Minus cents.

Well, thank goodness
that is over.

Um, Dexter...

Your hat wasn't
the only thing

I borrowed
from your lab.

Aren't these
the coolest shoes?

[People shouting angrily]

[Springing noise]

[Dexter straining]

Huh?

Dee Dee, may I recommend

that you lower
your center of gravity

by dropping your arms?

That should soften
your landings.

Thanks, Dexter.

Do not even
mention it.

You know, Dex,
with your smarts
and my stature,

we make
a pretty good team.

I would concur,
Dee Dee.

In theory,
there are no limits

to what we could
accomplish together.

We could be a super duo!

Both: Power friends!

"D" squared, double dared!

Power friends power...

for grime-free light switches
in this house?

Dexter and Dee Dee:

Both: Hoo!

your double dare duo

to your father? Ok?

[h*nky-tonk music playing]

[Groaning]

Man on TV: Hey,
puppet pal clem.

Second man on TV:
Hey, puppet pal d*ck.

Can you guess
what my favorite
kind of horse is?

Uh, a clydesdale?

Nope.
A bucking bronco.

Honey, I can't reach
the remote!

[h*nky-tonk music playing]

Honey!

Puppet pal clem,
why don't we
pass the time

by a-singin' a song?

Dexter and Dee Dee:

Your father and I
are so thrilled

that you two
are getting along

that we feel
that you should share

your super heroics
with the neighbors.

Dad: Yeah,
the neighbors! Yep!

Both: Yay!

Don't forget
to fuel up
before you go.

Power friends power...

Dee Dee: Form of...
A jar holder!

Mom: Uh-oh.

Goodness, there's only
one cookie left.

Form of...
A greedy brother!

Shape of...
A jealous sister!

Mine! Stop it! Gimme!

No! I want it!

[Dexter and Dee shouting]

Both: Power parent power...

Activate!

[Both laughing]

Oh, you're good.
Ha ha!
