09x02 - Back to School/ Sweet Dreams

[bunniefuu]

[ whirring]

[ snoring]

Whoa!

[ whirring]

[ kids laughing]

[ dog barks]

[ giggles]

[ whirring]

[ squeals]

[ babies giggling]

Look at this.

They just grow too fast.

It may be
what you feed them.

Oh, my.

[ gurgling]

Here's something
much better to eat.

I mean read.

DIDI:
Visual and
oral stimuli

are very
important

in child
development.

How about
keeping them
out of pantyhose?

Oh, my.

I've got a better idea, kids.

I'm Mr. Socky.

Let's play a game.

You have such good
parenting instincts, Didi.

Well, there's also
the "instincts" I got for $.

plus shipping
and handling.

[ tape rewinding]

MAN [ on TV]:
...leads to a happy baby

that won't cry when it's time
for diaper change,

and a happy baby means
a happy parent.

A crying baby means
an unhappy parent.

For more information,

be sure to purchase
my entire series of books,

only available in bookstores.

That's the fastest diaper change
I ever seen.

Right, Mr. Socky?

Mine's
not talking.

STU:
Come on, Dil.

Better get you
a fresh diaper
before we go.

Stu's taking Dil to the hospital
for his check-up.

Right on Lipschitz's schedule.

Tapes are helpful

but I don't know
what I'd ever do without this.

Hey, better start
thinking about it

because Lipschitz
only goes to age five.

"Birth to five"?!

Oh, you'll
do fine, Didi.

What could
possibly happen

when they turn six?

This is chocolate vanilla cake.

I wanted vanilla chocolate!

And I'm sick
of the Dummy Bears!

Oh, I'm sosorry, sweetums.

How come you didn't make me
a big-boy party?

Oh, my.

You'll be fine,
Deed.

You got the knack.

Sure-- take a few
courses in--

what do you call it?--

while they're
growing up.

Child development?

Yeah, that thing.

That way you won't have to rely
on Lipschitz.

It is a subject I love and
I've always wanted my master's,

but I was too busy
raising my children.

It never occurred to me

I could get my master's
inraising my children.

Ladies...

I'm going back to school!

[ gasps]

Did you hear that, Tommy?

Your mommy's going
back to school.

But she already
went to school.

Why's she going back?

Did your mommy say

she's going
back to school?

I was afraid of this.

Afraid of what?

Afraid of what?!

Oh, nothing.

Just means
everything's
going backwards.

No biggie.

You're making
that up, Angelica.

Sure, that's it.

Have a nice day.

Uh, I mean yesterday.

[ chuckles evilly]

Oh, no, what if Angelica
was right?

Chuckie, if Angelica
was right,

lots of stuff would
be going backwards.

Oh, good,
because now it's
just that robot.

[ all gasp]

Look!

Spike thinks
he's a puppy again!

Yeah, it's like
he's going backwards.

[ gasps]

[ gasps]

Okay, Dil,

it's back
to the hospital time.

[ Dil gurgles]

Back to the hopsickle?

Oh, but that's
where he comed from.

Oh, no, Tommy,
Dil's going backwards, too.

I wonder who's next.

[ gasps]

What if it's us

and we go back to
being little babies?

Gurgly-gurgle.

Goo-goo-goo.

Oh, no!

It's happening
to Phil already!

Nah, just seeing
if I still gots it.

Uh, I gots a question.

Once we're little babies again,
what happens next?!

I guess we go
to the place
babies come from

before they're born.

We'll have to start
all over again.

Start over?

After I got potty trained

and fought with pirates
and aliens

and a smelly French lady?

Start over?!

[ all crying]

What are you babies
crying about?

We're all
going back

to before
we were borned.

I'm not going anywhere.

You said everything
was going backwards.

Everything
in Tommy's house.

And I gets
to go home later.

Gee, I guess

all you guys
gots to do is
not be here.

You mean leave you here

to go backwards
alone, Tommy?

See ya.

Bye, Tommy!

Good luck!

Wait, guys!

Tommy'd stay
with any of us!

Yeah.
You're
right.

Okay, but I'll be the one
sort of near the door.

[ laughs nervously]

Sometimes I even
amaze myself.

DIDI:
The local college has

some excellent courses
in child development.

You'll be
an excellent resource

for all of us, Didi.

Not that Ineed
any help with Angelica.

She's such a perfect angel.

So, Tommy, said good-bye
to your baby friends yet?

Because they'll be
going home soon,

and then you'regoing
to be going, going, gone!

See ya!

Or maybe I won't.

It's not
so great

being a baby anyway, Tommy.

All's we do is...
play with toys!

W-what about all the stuffs
I'm not going to get to do,

L-like go to school
and have a job and be a daddy?

Well, maybe you
could do them now.

That's a great idea, Chuckie!

Okay,
Tommy.

Then it's time
for school.

What do we do?

We never been
to school.

Well, Angelica says

firstest everybody
sits in a circle.

Nextest, the teacher asks
a question,

and when you knows the answer,
you wave your hand around.

Chuckie, you be
the teacher

and ask Tommy
a question.

Okay.

Uh, Tommy Pickles,

what are the names
of your friends that are twins?

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

Let Tommy answer.

It's his first

and maybe lastest
day of school.

Um, Phil
and Lil Deville.

Good going!You got it!

Very good.

Anybody know what's next?

Angelica says
they sing lots of songs.

Okay-- what's
your favoritest song, Tommy?

"I'm Happy
To Be a Duck."

Good one, Tommy.

ALL:
♪ I'm happy to be a duck

♪ Quack, quack, quack,
quack, quack, ♪

♪ Quack, quack, quack,
quack, quack. ♪

Okay, guys, now I gots
to get a job.

What are you
good at, Tommy?

Uh, I can roll
a ball and...

and dig in the mud
and pile up blocks.

Well, my daddy says

a job is
pushing papers

and standing around
the water drooler.

Well, I already
stand around Dil,

and he's
a water drooler.

And I was planting on
being a stupor hero.

That's a job, right?

[ others agree]

Now all you gots to do
is save the world.

How about just
flying around

and saving that
kinderpillar
from falling?

Whoosh-sha!

Ha...

Whoosh!

♪ Doo doot-doo!

There you go, little guy.

Tell 'em Super Tommy
saved you!

All that's
left now is

being a daddy.

Where you going
to get a baby

around here?

Uh, guys, I-I think I played
enough daddy for today.

ANGELICA:
Sure is
getting late.

Guess you're going
backwards soon, Tommy.

Can I have your toys?

[ chuckles evilly]

That's not funny,
Angelica.

Yeah!

Can we have your toys?

If only we could
make Tommy's house

go frontwards
instead of backwards.

That's it!

Member on TV
when that Lipspitz guy

did stuff backwards

and then started
going frontwards again?

My mommy pushed
a button on the machine.

Maybe if we push
that button,

everything will
go frontwards.

OTHERS:
Yeah!

You guys notice anything
different?

I think you grewed
another hair.

No, I mean about the house.

Come on, guys.

Let's see if it worked.

BETTY:
Looks like Philly's
handiwork to me.

My old college mementos.

Hmm, I wonder if the Bulldogs

are still
number one.

Look!

Tommy's robot's
walking frontwards!

And Spikey's got

a big-dog doggie bone.

We're back!

Dil grew an inch.

ALL:
Yay!

DIDI:Stu,

I've got
something
to tell you.

I'm number one?

No.

I-I mean yes,

but... but no.

Stu, I've decided
to go back to school.

Back to school?

Come on,
I'll tell you
all about it.

Back to school?

Actually, they
should call it
forward to school

because that's
what I'm doing.

I'm going forward
to school.

Hear that, guys?
My mommy's
going forwards!

You did it, Tommy!

Everything stopped
going backwards!

[ all cheering]

It sounds great, Deed.

But of course
with my plans

for Pickles
Industries,

we could sure use
a steady baby-sitter.

Don't worry.

We'll find
the right person

if we have to turn
this city upside-down.

Uh, Tommy, why's the city
getting turned

upside-down?

I don't know,
Chuckie.

I'm only good
for fingering out
one problem a day.

[ grunting with effort]

Oh!

Whoa!

Ally-oop!

[ shouts with delight]

[ cheers]

Woo-hoo!

[ fly buzzing]

Whee!

[ giggling]

CHAS:
Thanks for letting
the kids sleep over, Didi.

It gave me time

to begin my
mid-life crisis.

Charles, you're much
too young for that.

Gee, Chas, great
kids, perfect wife.

It seems to me,
you can't smell
the jogger

from the gym shoes.

What's your problem?

That's just it, Betty.

Now that my home life
is perfect,

my work just pales
in comparison.

If I have to stay
a bureaucrat forever,

I don't know
what I'll do.

Shake your funky
groovemaker.

Well, I'm not sure
that would help.

No, that's the answer
to "What was the
Dreamboat's hit?"

I won the tickets!

We're going
to the Dreamboat's
reunion concert!

Stu, Charles is having a crisis.

Oh, sorry, Chas.

Whoo-hoo!

Now, Charles, why don't
we make a list of jobs

that would make you happy?

Well, I always wanted
to be an astronaut

but there is my fear of heights.

Hey, want to
play Dream?

In my sleepy,

I was flying on a mudpie
chasing a froggy.

Mine was all different.

I was flying on a froggy

chasing a mudpie.

LIL:
Mine was betterer.

Uh-uh,Lillian.
Uh-huh, Phillip!

I was a circus astrobat doing
cartwheels and somersaults.

What did you dream, Tommy?

I exploreded the jungle

and discovereded the secret
pimple of gloom!

Hey, you guys,
let's play all our dreams.

ALL:
Yeah!

Uh, Chuckie...

You never said
what you dreamded.

Well, uh, I dreamed, uh...

there was a monkey

and, uh, there was
a ball with feet.

[ sighs]:
Okay, I didn't have a dream!

That's okay.

You can play our dreams.

Symphony tuba player,
world-famous side-dish chef...

BETTY:
Earth to Chas.

[ gasps]

We did once dream
of owning our own
little coffee shop.

Wouldn't it be wonderful

to build something
we could call our own?

I did see that
quaint little coffee shop

for sale
on Third Street.

Kira, call me wild and crazy,
but let's call that shop.

[ gasps, laughs with delight]

There's nothing worse
than a lost dream.

That's it,
Chuckie.

You didn't didn't dream.

You just
losted your dream.

[ gasps]:
But my daddy just said

there's nothing worser
than losing your dream.

With all the stuff
that happens to me,

this must be pretty bad
to be the worstest!

Don't worry,
Chuckie.

We'll find it.

It gots to be
around here somewheres.

We founded Phil's
lost roly-poly.

Chuckie's dream is in my diapy?

What do your dreams
look like, Chuckie?

Well, sometimes
I'm in a red cape

and do stuff
like go into dark caves

and boss dragons around,
even talk to clowns.

That's the brave dream-Chuckie
who's not a-scared of nothing.

But sometimes I'm just me,

who's even kind of
scared of red capes.

So, what are
we looking for?

Well, I never lookded
for a dream before.

I guess we try to find
brave dream-Chuckie.

Where do
we look first?

Let's look in all the places
where losted stuff goes.

TOMMY:
So, anybody find

brave dream-Chuckie?

Uh... a red cape?

No.

But I founded
my red mitten.

I'm doomed.

The coffee shop owner called.

He's interested
in our offer.

That's wonderful.

Our own little
coffee shop.

Now if I only knew
something about coffee.

I'm sorry
we didn't find
your dream, Chuckie.

Oh, thanks for trying, guys.

Why couldn't I have losted
a sock or my stewed peas?

Why'd I have to lose my dream?

DIDI:
Here, kids.

This nice warm milk

will give you all
sweet dreams for nap time.

I'll be back in a little while
to tuck you in.

Maybe if you
drink all of ours,

you'll get lots
and lots of dreams,

or maybe find
the one you losted.

Thanks, guys.

You know, I bet
I'll really sleep at nap time.

[ toilet flushes]

Did you find
your dream, Chuckie?

No, but I found the potty
about a gazillion times.

Deed, they're here!

Put on your
dancing pants.

Imagine!

Tickets to
the Dreamboats!

My daddy said
those are tickets
to the dream boat.

I bet it goes
to dreamland.

Chuckie, we've got to
get you on that boat.
Uh, let me get this straight.

We're trying to
get me to my dream,

which I'm not sure
will be brave or scary,

but to find out,
I got to take a scary boat?!

It probably
won't be scary, Chuckie.

And it gots to be better

than never dreaming
nothing ever again.

Okay, where's the dream boat?

That's easy-- in the water.

Okay, guys, this is
enough water for any boat.

You ready, Chuckie?

Figure I'll go
night-night on the boat.

Good thinking, Chuckie.

Chuckie, I found
your clothes in the...

What are you doing
in your P.J.s?

Chas, the coffee
shop owner called.

He's deciding between
us and another couple.

Oh, no, Kira!

Well, we'll just have to
convince him to sell it to us.

The last thing we want
is to lose our dream.

[ gasps]

Oh, no, you guys.

My mommy and daddy are gonna
lose their dreams, too!

Oh, no!

Too bad your mommy and daddy

don't gots tickets
to the dream boat, too.

Well, I could give them these.

That way they get to go
to dreamland

and I don't gots to go
on a scary boat.

Chuckie?

Mommy and I have
somewhere important to go.

But we'll be back real soon.

How you gonna get

to the dream boat
now, Chuckie?

I guess I'm not, Phil.

I'm pretty sure
my dream is gone forever.

I'm sure going to miss
brave dream-Chuckie.

You name me one time
when real Chuckie

is ever gonna tell dragon
what to do.

STU:
My tickets! They're gone!

I'm telling you, Deed,
they were on the table.

[ doorbell rings]

The coffee shop
is ours.

I knew he couldn't resist
your winning personalities.

CHAS:
Well, actually we bonded over
our mutual allergy to mold.

You see--
you didn't lose
your dream.

You did it, Chuckie!

Yup, I guess I did.

I wonder what
the dream boatie was like?

I guess I'll never know.

Maybe it won't be so bad.

At least I won't dream
nothing scary.

But you won't dream
nothing fun neither, Chuckie.

We can't wait for
everyone to see it.

How exciting!

Kira, where did I put
the coffee shop keys?

Oh, I hope I didn't lose them

in all the excitement
in becoming my own boss.

[ keys jangle]

Ahh.

Stu, aren't these
your Dreamboat
tickets?

Huh!

H-how did...?

I told you I left them
on the table.

CHAS:
I should tell you, uh...

the coffee house
might need
a little work.

BETTY:
Giving birth to the twins
was less work.

DIDI:
Don't worry.

We'll all be glad to help.

You betcha.

Thanks, everybody.

Just think, my days as
a bureaucrat are actually over.

You're your own
boss now, koibito doll.

[ babies giggling]

CHAS:
You're part of our dream, too.

We're going to build
a special play area right here

just for you.

This is a great moment.

Kira and I here
with our family
and friends--

living proof you can't stop
looking for your dream.

My dad is right, guys.

I'm gonna keep looking
for my dream, starting tonight

and every night until I find it.

[ babies agreeing]

CHAS:
Good night, Chuckie.

KIRA:
Sweetest of dreams.

[ sighs]

[ all talking at once]
