Good scare, Oblina.

And it works
on so many levels.

"Ding, ding, ding"
went my heart.

Now, let's see
if our next scare

can live up to
your high standards.

Oh, please, oh, please, oh,
please, just this once.

I'll do anything you want.
I'm invisible.

He doesn't see me, he doesn't
see me, he doesn't see me.

All right, who's got
a good scare for me?

Slowlip? Aleeky?

No-- ahh, I know.

It's you.

[belching]

Class dismissed.

And Ickis, the viewfinder
will be waiting for you.

Oh, whew.

Saved by the belch.

You lucked out,
Ickis.

Now you can do a scare
for tomorrow's class.

Yeah, later.

Let's go play
in the dump.

Ickis, I cannot
believe you.

You were sitting there,
shaking like a human

during the entire class,

and now you're
going to play?

Listen, Miss
Goody-Two-Lips,

I have got plenty
of time to do a scare.

I gotta do a scare!
I can't do a scare!

What am I gonna do?

I don't know what I'm
gonna do-- what am I gonna do?

I can't, I can't!

Why don't you
go to bed?

I hate to say I told you so,
Ickis, but actually,

I do not
hate it at all.

I told you so, I told you so,
I told you so.

Face it, Ickis.

The only way you're
getting out of this one

is if the viewfinder
breaks down.

[Ickis gasps,
groaning]

[viewfinder laughs
evilly]

Krumm!

Oblina!

Viewfinder!

Tools! Escape! Failure!

Expelled!

Ickis, what are
you talking about?

Oh, no, you freed
the viewfinder?

How did you know
he said that?

I'm fluent
in Panicky Ickis.

You gotta help me!

Well, I hate to say
I told you so, but--

You've gotta
help me!

Well, since you
put it that way.

[viewfinder
vocalizing melody]

Move it, move it,
move it!

We got it!
We got it!

[viewfinder laughs]

[man gasps,
screams]

It's not in here.

Hello!

[man screams]

[man]
Hey, I can walk!

It is not here
either.

[toilet flushes]

Selma, did I tell you about
Shirley's latest facelift?

Again?
Uh-huh.

She's had so many
facelifts,

her lips are in
the middle of her forehead.

[both laugh]

Ooh!

[screams]

Oh, groovy.

It's perfect for
the coffee house.

It's so, so retro.

Oh no!

It's gone forever.

We'll never catch it
now, never!

Taxi, taxi!
Driver, take me to...
Shh.

Hey, lady, I'm a cabbie,
not a mind reader.

Where you want
to going?

Driver, take me to--

[crying]

Follow that multicolored
people mover.

You mean the van?

Whatever!

Okay.
We went feet.

That'll be of your
American dollars.

Hey, barbecue head.

Pay up.

[man]
Beep, beep, goes the freeway.

Rush, rush to nowhere.

Where are you going,
Mister Conformity Man?

Where have you been
all this time?

Hey, my mom called.

Then I went
bowling, Monique.

You know there's
nobody else but you.

What's going--

Hey!

Louise, baby, you know
there's nobody else but you.

My name's
not Louise!

It's not what
you think, baby.

[Ickis]
Yes!

There is no way we can drag this
all the way back to the dump.

[boy screams]

Monsters!

Good scare!

Whew, see, this is
much easier to push.

No...

[Krumm]
Uh-oh.

[man]
You call these chairs antiques?

I call
them junk.

I have to face it.

I'll never find--

Oh, the chair
of my dreams.

[woman]
It's me, sir, Exposia.

Mr. Mayor, it's Exposia,
yes, sir, me, sir.

The answer to
your question is...

I have no comment.

Now, who's next?

Mr. Mayor, is it true that a
quarter of a million dollars

is missing from
the city treasury?

Oh, why, that's
absolute poppycock.

And to prove that,
here's our city treasurer

to explain our needlessly
complex accounting system.

And remember, he's not lying
just to keep his job.

Oh!

, on Molasses
to win.

I can't believe it!

Is this a bad time to announce
my bid for reelection?

Mr. Mayor!

Mr. Mayor!

This is gonna be
a piece of...

Here, viewfinder.

Here,
viewfinder.

Nice viewfinder.

I've got
scares for you.

Oh...

It's no use,
I'll never find it!

[man]
Ah, my pretty.

At last,
we are alone.

The one chair that has
eluded me all my life,

the one chair that makes my
collection complete.

Ow!

[laughter]

I'll show you!

Someday I'll own
every chair in the world!

I'll never be without
a seat again.

My tragic youth
comes back to haunt me.

You betrayed me,
you lousy hunk of firewood.

Well, that's the
last time a chair

gets the best of
Chuckie Chippendale.

[gasps]

[monsters roaring]

[screaming]

It seems to have gotten heavier
in the past hour.

This would not
have happened at all

if you had done your homework
in the first place, Ickis.

All right!
Okay.

Let us just get
the viewfinder and then--

[rumbling]

[gasping]

I'll write you
after I'm expelled.

Oh, don't worry
about it, Ickis.

Once the Snorch
gets through with you,

you probably won't
be able to write.

[crying]

I never thought
I'd say this,

but I would love to
see the viewfinder

just one more time.

[rumbling]

[beeping]

[groaning]

There, that ought to
hold it.

Well, Ickis, nice to see you
here bright and early,

no doubt eager
to show us all your scare.

[whimpering]

No explanation
necessary.

Get in!

[screaming]

[laughter]

Give me G
on Shorty.

[viewfinder coughing]

Ickis, why do
I get the feeling

that this has something
to do with you?

[laughs weakly]

♪♪

There you go,
little boy.

[honking]

That, my friends,

has got to be
the scariest human

I have ever seen.

I don't want
a helium balloon.

I want a balloon
animal.

Make me a balloon animal.

Say, little girl, don't
forget the magic words.

Now, nimrod.

Is that magic
enough for you?

I have just been struck

with the most monstrously
marvelous idea.

Watch this, kiddies.

Spoiled little,
bratty little gremlin...

[mumbling]

What's that?

That's not
an animal.

That's nothing.

That's just a--

[growling]

[screaming]

[kids]
Monster!

[Ickis]
Great job, Oblina.

Oh, that's a shoo-in
for scare of the week.

I'll eat to that.

Oh...

it was just a little
tidbit I threw together.

[belches]

[gas hissing]

Krumm, are you
all right?

[high-pitched]
Now that you mention it...

I do feel
a little gassy.

Ooh, I have once again
been struck

with the most
fiendishly fabulous idea.

Now, hold on there,
Miss Fiendishly Fabulous.

No fair
hoarding scares.

This one is mine.

Ickis, what have you
done with Krumm?

Me? I thought
you had him.

I thought
you had him!

I don't have him.

Well, then,
where is he?

Krumm?

Krumm!

Hey, guys, I can see
our dump from here.

[boinging]

Whoo-hoo!

[laughing]

Knock it off!

What did you go and do that for?
We were having fun.

I never get to have any fun.
Why can't I have any fun?

I just want to have some fun.
Take me on a scare.

The Gromble says
we cannot risk

taking you above ground,
little mister.

You could float away
and never come back.

Indeed, and think how poorly
that would reflect on us.

Yeah, I guess
you're right.

Oh, cheer up,
buddy.

We brought you a special
treaty-poo.

Car parts.

Untouched.

What would I do
without you guys?

And they were so frightened,
Icky and I thought

they would evacuate
their trousers.

[laughter]

[Krumm snoring]

Morning, Krumm!

How are we
feeling today?

Bloated.

[laughing]

Time for your
morning walk.

Oh, goody.

Krumm?

Oblina and I, oh, we scared the
living daylights out of him.

I swear on the
Gromble's chin hair,

I saw a gob of light sh**t
right out of this guys' nose.

Yeah, sure.

What's this?

Car parts? Again?

Can't you bring me
anything but car parts?

Every dang-dong day it's car
parts, car parts, car parts.

Haven't you ever heard of
too much of a good thing?

You've ruined car parts
for me forever.

Ickis, why don't you tell Krumm
about your latest scare?

It won scare of
the week, you know.

All righty, oh.

Slowly, I turned,

step by step,
inch by inch.

Look, I got
news for you.

You know what you can do with
all your scare stories?

You can take all
your scare stories

and stick 'em right in
your big, floppy ears.

Time for a walky!

Hey, where are
you taking me?

I don't want to go for a walky!
I'm tired of walkies!

You know what you can
do with your walkies?

You can take all your walkies
and stick 'em right in your--

Ow! Hey, watch that!

What's the big idea?

Ow! Ickis,
cut it out.

Ow!

[Ickis]
Oblina, psst!

Oblina, psst!

Are you awake?

I am now, Ickis.

What are we going
to do about Krumm?

I cannot take it
anymore.

I know what
you mean.

He has become quite
cantankerous lately.

Yeah,
and grumpy too.

He has really
changed.

Yes, he is simply
not the Krumm

we have come
to know and love.

Hey, maybe we could bribe
someone else

to take care of him,

like Leaky
and Splazoo.

Excellent idea.

Leaky and Splazoo.

They like Krumm.

[snoring]

Huh?

[reading]
"Dear Ickis and Oblina,

"I won't be a burden
to you anymore.

"I'm taking my red eyes
and going on a long flight.

Yours in stench,
Krumm."

Oblina! Oblina!
Oblina!

Krumm, get back down here
right this minute!

Krumm, I am
warning you!

Do not make me
come up there!

Really, and how do
you propose to do that?

Hide and watch
this, kiddy.

Finally,
back in business.

Aww.

Goodbye, Ickis.

Good-bye,
Oblina.

Good-bye, Academy.

Good-bye,
ground.

Good-bye,
good old dump,

with all those heaping mounds
of stinking, putrid, toxic,

mouthwatering
garbage.

Boy,
am I hungry.

I knew I should have eaten
something before I took off.

Are you ready,
Ickis?

Here's mud
in your eye.

[high-pitched]
That's smooth.

♪ Hey, hey, look at the sky,
it's so polluted ♪

♪ Why, oh why ♪

♪ Oh, whoa,
does anyone care ♪

♪ That we are
breathing filthy air ♪

♪ Pollution, pollution! ♪♪

Ooh...

Look at that.

Mmm, that hit
the spot.

[high pitched]
The least you could have done

was to save some
for me, Krumm, old pal.

Ickis, Oblina, what
are you doing up here?

Oh, we just thought it would
be a nice day to fly a kite.

What do you think
we're doing up there?

I thought you guys
didn't want me around.

It wasn't that we didn't
want you around,

it's just that you
were so cranky.

I know, I haven't
been myself lately.

I've been so
light-headed.

Tell me about it.

Does it make you
crampy too?

Are you kidding?
I have such a pain in my side.

Me too!

Left side
or right side?

Left side.

Me too!
Don't you hate it when--

Excuse me.

In case you two
have not noticed,

I'm getting stretched
a tad thin here.

Hut-hut-hut...

No, no,
I can't do it.

I can't
do it...!

I'm sorry for being
so grouchy, Ickis.

It's just so hard to be
cooped up all that time.

I understand, Krumm,
it's not your fault.

I should have been
more patient.

It's all my fault.

No, Ickis,
it's all my fault.

Would you two mind
speeding this up?

You're my
best friend, Krumm.

You're my
best friend, Ickis.

I hate to break
this tender moment,

but it just so happens
I am losing my grip!

Oh, that feels
so much better.

Oblina, you are not
supposed to be up here!

How are we going
to get down?

Oh, I suppose
it is my fault

you two took so much time
to kiss and make up.

Well, it is not
my fault!

Krumm is the one who started
all this-- it's his fault.

My fault?

[normal voice]
I didn't ask you

to come after me.

Krumm, what happened
to your voice?

[gas hissing]

[Krum, screaming]
Whoa!

[people]
Hut-hut-hut...

[screaming]

Dad, what's that
diving out of the sky?

Oh, probably just
sky divers, son.

Probably just
sky divers.

[Ickis]
Oblina, I know this is

a bad time, but can
I ask you a big favor?

Make it quick!

Just before we hit the ground,
could you let me go?

You were saying,
Ickis?

Don't let me go!

Don't let me go!

[woman humming]

Dad, I think those are monsters
climbing down our string.

Oh, don't be
ridiculous now, son.

There is no such
thing as--

[monsters grunt,
man gasps]

Thanks for
the lift.

[kiss]

Monsters!

What a lovely day for a parade,

Right you are, Dirk. Yes.

Yes, it is.

The floats

And look how the kids

Favorite cartoon characters?

on the block!
