02x22 - The Slide/The Big Flush

[bunniefuu]

[ Snoring]

[ Gasps]

[ Kids laughing]

[ Wind gusting]

[ Sun sizzling]

R[ squeaking]

[ Gulps]

[ Screams]

[ Gasps]: oh, no!

Chuckie!

[ Chuckie screaming]

Poor chuckie.

I never seen him
like that before.

Yeah, he always loved
going down the slide.

It was about
the only thing

He wasn't scared of.

I wonder what
happened to him?

Betty:
hey, kids, look
who's here to play.

It's the chuckster!

Don't say nothing
about you know what.

Hi, chuckie.

Want to play dig
the hole in the sand?

Want to play throw
the mud at the tree?

Lil:
want to play

Eat the worms from the grass?

I know what you guys are doing.

You're being real nice to me

So I don't have to feel bad
about the slide.

We don't know what
you're talking about.

No, we don't know no slide.

No-- no slide.

Sure you do.

You guys saw what
happened at the park.

You saw how i...

I can't do it anymore.

[ Bawling]

It's okay,
chuckie.

It's just a dumb
old slide anyway.

No!

No, you don't
understand, tommy.

I loved my slide.

I loved the way

The metal felt on my back

When I went down.

I loved the way the wind
blowed back my lips

When I was going
full speed.

I even loved the way
the sand ran up my pants

When I landed at the bottom.

But now it's gone!

Oh, god!

I will slide no more forever!

But why, chuckie, why?

What happened
to make you so scared?

Well, it all started the other
day when me and my dad went out

To eat dinner at
the pizza puppet place.

Chaz:
I think this jalapeno
and bubble gum topping

Was a mistake.

That's where I saw it:

The funnest-looking slide
in the whole, wide world.

Okay, chuckie

I'll take you
to the ball room.

And I knew if I could
just get up there

I'd be the happiest kid alive...

But I was wrong, you guys.

I was really, really wrong.

I looked up the tunnel.

It looked like a long ways up
but I didn't care.

I just kept crawling.

I crawled and I crawled
and I crawled.

Finally, I made it
to the top of the slide.

I was so happy,
I didn't know what to do.

I crawled over to the edge

And I looked over the side
and i...

[ Screams]

I was on the big slide,
thebig, big slide.

I was so high up, I was almost
touching the ceiling.

There was a bunch of kids
pushing me, saying

Go, little kid, go!

And I was saying

No, big kids, no!

And finally I did
the only thing

I could do:

I... I... I cried.

[ Bawling]

But chuckie, that
wasn't yourslide.

That was a
big kids slide.

There's no reason

You can't go down
yourslide.

I tried, tommy, I really tried,
but it's no use.

Now I'm scared of every
slide in the whole world.

[ Cackling]

Oh, chuckie, you make
me laugh somuch.

First you were scared of
putting your feet in your shoes.

Well, it was dark in them shoes.

And then you wouldn't
eat green jell-o.

It could have been alive,
it really could have.

And now you're scared
of going down the slide.

What will scare you next?

Puppy dogs, kitty cats?

Puffy pillows
with pink frills?

Um... No, I don't think so.

Face it, chuckie,
you're a scaredy cat.

A big, fat
scaredy cat.

It's true.

It's true, I am a scaredy cat.

[ Crying]

Angelica, you made him cry.

You know what they say?

If the truth hurts, wear it.

Lil:
now what are we
going to do?

There's only one thing

We can do.

All:
go ask susie.

So you see,
susie

That's why chuckie's
so scared of the slide.

Can you help
him, susie?

Can you make
him not afraid?

Well, it's a tough case
but I'll take it.

You will?
You will?

Sure, it's better
than playing house.

Don't waste your time
on me, susie.

I'm a loser.

Now, see, chuckie.

That's your problem.

The first thing
you got to do

Is stop feeling sorry
for yourself.

This happens
to a lot of kids.

It's nothing
to be ashamed of.

Rhas it ever
happened to you?

Well...

No.

But I know kids
it did happen to

And I like them
anyway.

Oh, great.

I'm going to be a liked loser.

The next thing
you got to do

Is stop saying
you're scared.

You're big and
you're brave...

Like a big, brave dog.

Say it.

I'm a big, brave dog.

Keep saying it over and over.

I'm a big, brave dog.

I'm a big, brave dog.
I'm a big, brave dog.

Good.

What else, susie?

Well, when you get
thrown off a horse

You got to get back on.

And when you get knocked
out of the ring

You got to get
back in.

What if you fall in a pit?

Huh?

Or a big potty?

What?

Or a bucket of mud?

I didn't mean...

Iknow what susie's saying.

Even though chuckie
can't go down the slide

Well... He's got
to do it anyway.

Exactly.

And we got to get
chuckie ready.

By this time tomorrow

Charles crandall
finster

Will be the
bestest slider

In the whole,
wide park.

I'm a big,
brave dog.

I'm a big,
brave dog.
[ Screaming]

[ Screaming]

[ Yelling]

[ Grunting]

Well, I guess
it's no use.

Chuckie's never going
to stop being scared

Rgoing down
that slide.

Of course not.

That's what I've been
saying from the beginning.

Doesn't anybody
listen to me?

Chuckie is a scaredy cat.

He is not!

He's... He's a big brave dog.

Yeah, right.

He's a scaredy cat
and you know it.

He's a big brave dog.

Scaredy cat.

Dog.

Cat.

Dog.

Stop!

I am not a aminal.

I am a human bean.

Tomorrow morning,
when we go to the park

I'm not going to be
a scaredy cat.

I am going down that slide...

I hope.

You can do it,
chuckie.

Remember,
it's just a slide.

You can'tdo
it, chuckie.

Remember,
it's a slide.

[ Gasps]

[ Chuckie swallows hard]

[ Sighs]

I'm a big, brave dog.

I'm a big, brave dog.

I'm a big,
brave dog.

I bet you a pudding pop
he chickens out.

You're on.

I'm a big, brave dog.

Make that two
pudding pops.

I'm a big, brave dog.
I'm a big, brave dog.

I'm a big, brave...

I... I... I made it.

I made it, you guys!

I made it!

Look, I'm
on top of
the world.

Hurray.
Hurray.
Hurray.

Hey, wait
a minute.

He's got to go
down first.

Oh, no.

You can do it,
chuckie

You can do it.

Okay, here goes nothing.

[ Screaming]

Tommy:
chuckie?

Chuckie, are you okay?

Am I okay?

Am I okay?

Are you kidding?

That was the funnest slide
I ever had.

[ Growling]

How did you do
it, chuckie?

Yeah, how did you ever
conquer your fear?

I just did it, that's all.

My teeth were clicking
and my hands were shaking

And my pants was wet

But I knew I had to do it,
so I just let myself go.

And you
know what?

It was fun.

Come on, you guys

Last one down's
a scaredy cat.

There goes one
big, brave kid.

[ Chuckie
grunts]

[ Wild laughter]

Huh?

Stu:
hey, this swiss mocha's
great, huh, howard.

Mmm, yeah.

It really helps
you celebrate

The moments
of your life.

Hey, guess
what we did?

Signed up to work
on the alaska pipeline?

No!

Drove in a
demolition derby?

Betty:
no.

Joined the professional
wrestling circuit?

Didi and betty:
no!

Betty:
tell them, deed.

Well, we were
on our way

Out of our
aerobics class

And we saw a notice
on the bulletin board

For swimming lessons.

Swimming lessons?

But gee, we already
know how to swim.

Well, except for stu.

Hey, I
can swim.

Yeah, as long as
you stay away

From the
diving board.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Remember when you
chocked on the high dive?

I most certainly do not!

Boys, boys.

We're not talking
about swimming
lessons for you

We're talking about
swimming lessons

For the babies.

It's never too early

To introduce these pups to
the joys of aquatic fitness.

Wow, that's
a great idea.

Tommy's
just like me.

He'll take to the water

Like a duck.

Ah, it's wet, it's cold!

This place brings
back memories.

Like the time

You froze on the
high-diving board.

And they had to call
the fire department.

Can it, chaz.

Why are we wearing
these funny pillows?

Yeah, what is
this place anyway?

Whatever it is

It sure smells
funny.

Maybe it's
a kitchen.

Our kitchen
smells funny.

Especially after our daddy
makes us dinner.

Where are the big clouds
of smoke?

Maybe it's a basement.

It sounds like
a basement.

No, it can't be a basement.

Where's all the old junk?

Maybe it's
a bathroom?

No, it can't
be a bathroom.

If it's a bathroom,
where's the potty?

[ All gasping]

All:
wow.

You were right,
chuckie

It is a
bathroom.

It's thebiggestbathroom

In the
whole world.

So that's what
that smell is.

See, sport, isn't
this the greatest?

[ Gasps]

[ Sighing]

The water
is your friend.

The water is your pal.

The water won't hurt you
if you treat it with respect.

Sounds like
this one's inhaled

A little too
much chlorine.

Now, it's time
to meet the water.

Parents, let your baby
meet the water face-to-face.

Now...

It's dipping time.

Ready?

And dip and one

And dip and...

[ All screaming]

And dip
and three.

Good, good.

And dip...

This doesn't
seem very nice.

Keep it up, rdeed.

It's the only way
they'll learn.

And six.

All right, now let your babies
commune with the water.

Let them blow some bubbles.

Let them become friendly
with the water.

[ Sputtering]

[ Snorting]

[ Gasping]

Well, maybe that was
a little too friendly.

[ Burps]

Oh, boy that
sure was funny

Eh, g*ng?

Chuckie didn't seem
to like it very much.

Oh, he was fine.

Everybody gets a belly
full of water

Sooner or later.

[ Burping]

Betty:
let's pop these pups
into the nursery

And head back
rto the pool.

Now, have fun.

Behave
yourselves.

Bye, now.

See you later.

Rthat was the worst-tasting
water I ever sawed.

Of course
it tasted bad.

It was potty water.

Well, maybe they
should flush it

Once in a while.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, that'd
be neat, chuckie.

Um, hold on a sec.

What would be neat?

Flushing
the giant potty.

What's so neat
about that?

Flushing the potty at home
is one of the funnest things

In the whole world, right?

Yeah.

So flushing a potty

That's a million
bazillion times bigger

Must be a million
bazillion times more fun!

Ryeah.

Yeah.

No!

Why not?

Because, tommy

There's lots of reasons.

One, we're in here.

Two, the potty's out there

And six, we don't have no
idea where the flusher is.

We'll find it.
Come on.

But tommy, there's
people in there.

They'll get
flushed, too!

Well, they shouldn't be
swimming in the potty

In the first place.

Yeah.

Well, I can't say I didn't try.

Which way,
tommy?

Uh... That way.

Hey, deed, come on,
let's hit the sauna.

Oh, I think
I should be here

To give stu
some moral support

While he dives.

It's going to be
a double gainer

With a half twist.

[ Yodeling like tarzan]

[ Gasping]

On second thought

The heat would
do me good.

Come on,you guys

The flusher's
got to be here
somewhere.

Why's it got to be around
here somewhere?

What kind of thinking is that?

[ Screaming]

[ Screams]

[ Grunts]

Golly, maybe we
should stop him.

[ Spluttering]

Are you all
right, stu?

All right?

I think I'm just about ready

For the high dive.

Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.

Oh, you'll love it,
deed, I promise.

[ Steam hissing]

Well, not more
than five minutes.

Otherwise I wrinkle up
like a prune.

No flusher
in there.

None here,
either.

Maybe that's
the flusher.

[ Whooshing]

No, it's not it either.

Great.

We don't know where
that flusher is

We don't know where
that giant potty is

Now we don't even know where
the baby-sitting room is.

We're lost.

Lost forever.

Oh, chuckie,
that's not true.

Have I ever got us
lost forever?

How about the time
you took us

To the basement

And I got stuck
in the mattress?

I forgot about that.

And the time
you got us locked
in that toy store?

Yeah.

And the time

When you made us

Go through that mirror
into mirrorland?

And the time we chased
after that wedded cake?

The time we got lost
in the mooseum?

The time we snuck into
your aunt's room...

[ Pounding on door]

Didi:
hello, anybody out there?

Hey, open up!

Stu, won't you
reconsider?

You've always been
such a terrible diver.

Think of all you
got to live for.

Your wife,
your beautiful son.

Would you guys
stop worrying?

I'll be fine.

And the time I got stuck
in that tomato bush

And that dog thought
I was a tree?

And the time...

Chuckie, look!

It's the
giant potty!

Boy, tommy

You sure do know your
way around the world.

Come on.

Those guys have always
been so threatened

By my diving ability.

Let's face it, some guys
are just born with talent.

Whoa, hey...

This is getting
pretty high up here.

Getting a little woozy.

Now there, this isn't so hard.

[ Gasps]

[ Screaming]

What's going on?

[ People talking]

I can't watch.

It's making
me nauseous.

Charles, he's
our best friend.

We can't
abandon him.

Do you know that crazy man?

No.
No.

We made it!

Yeah, we found
the giant potty.

Okay, good.

But there's
still one problem.

Where's the flusher?

There.

All:
yeah!

Okay, now, buddy,
stay cool.

Let's talk.

Stay back.

Listen, I'm your friend.

Now, why don't you
come on over here

And we'll climb
down together.

Climb down?

Oh, yeah.

I'll just turn around
real slow and...

[ Screams]

[ Crowd gasps]

Here's the flusher, you guys.

Come on.

Tommy, what are
you doing?

How else are you going
to push the flusher?

[ Groans]

Get back!

Get back!

Just don't do anything crazy.

We're not insured.

Don't touch me!

All right.

Because if you do

I might just do it.

I might just...

Jump, jump,
jump...

Crowd [ chanting]:
jump, jump, jump...

Rjump, jump, jump, jump,
jump, jump, jump...

Oh, no, tommy.

Crowd [ chanting]:
jump, jump, jump, jump...

Kids on the low dive!

Get them off!

Get them off!

Come on, you guys

We need to jiggle
the handle.

But how?

Jump.

But tommy!

[ Crowd gasping]

[ Gasps]

I'm coming, tommy.

I'm coming.

Wow.
Wow.

[ Crowd cheering]

[ Cheering]

Wow! I got to hand
it to you, stu.

Yeah, that was
a heck of a dive.

It was, wasn't it?

What do you say
to a quick sauna

Before we go home?

[ Gasping]:
water, water.

[ Steam hissing]
