Fade
back to closet, still distorted.
Angelica: (echoing)
10!
The
closet view returns to normal. The door opens. Angelica now looks ten years
older, as do all the Rugrats in this segment, which takes place ten years
later.
Angelica: I can't
believe you and your mutant friends are still playing in a closet! You are such
preteens! That Emica CD is brand new! Hand it over!
Tommy
crawls out of closet and stands up.
Tommy: But you
said we could borrow it Angelica!
Angelica: Your
memory's slipping Pickles! I said you could maybe look at my Emica CD!
Chuckie
crawls out.
Chuckie: But we
wanted to learn all of her songs before the concert tomorrow.
Angelica: You want
too much, Finster, now gimme my CD. I'm gonna be late for the bus.
(Phil
crawls out.)
Phil: Does
anybody but me think we need a bigger club house?
(Lil
and Kimi fall out.)
Lil: Phillip!
When you are the bottom of the pyramid, you hafta tell when you're gonna move!
Kimi: I think I
ripped my pants!
Angelica: This is
the last time I'm gonna ask nicely. Fork over the CD!
Dil: (voice
only, from closet) Here! Catch!
(Dil
throws what is now an old Reptar doll at Angelica.)
Angelica: Very funny
Dylan!
Dil: (giggles)
I thought so!
Angelica: Maybe I
should tell Aunt Didi about the lizard in the shoe box?
Dil: Not funny!
Not funny one bit.
(Dil
surrenders the CD to Angelica.)
(Cut
to kitchen. Camera looks at a picture of Grandpa near the sink, where she's
washing dishes.)
Didi: I know it
isn't easy being over 90 years old, but you still have to think about your
health.
(Pan
down to reveal that she was talking to Spike.)
Didi: I just
don't understand, I've been so careful about your diet all these years.
(Tommy
walks into the kitchen. He picks up a wad of bacon and feeds it to Spike.)
Tommy: Hiya
Spike, you old boy.
(The
others walk in. Angelica puts on her headphones.)
Angelica: Honestly,
Aunt Didi; how do you put up with these juveniles?
(Stu
walks in, wearing a disco suit.)
Stu: What do
you think?
Angelica: Forget I
asked.
(Stu
shows off some of his disco moves.)
Dil: I don't
remember you wearing that daddy.
Angelica: (to
twins) That's because someone dropped him on his head when he was a baby.
Phil: (to
Lil) Dil's fine; we only dropped him once.
Stu: Grandpa
Lou gave me this scorpio medallion on my 18th birthday. It's my good luck
charm. I wore this to every dance contest I entered back in the day. In fact I
was wearing this when I met your mom.
Didi: Normally,
I didn't date men who wore jewelry, but in this case, I made an exception.
Stu: And after
that, I never danced without this medallion or your mother again.
Didi: Oh Stu.(to
the kids) Tomorrow is the "Dinosaurs Of Disco" dance contest at
the park, so your dad and I are dusting up our old routine!
(Stu
and Didi do a few moves.)
Angelica: You guys
are going to dance like that in front of people?
Didi: Your mom
and dad are dancing too!
Angelica: Ugh! How
embarrasing!
Tommy: (to Stu
and Didi) You guys'll definitely win!
(Tommy
gives his thumbs up of approval.)
Stu: So long as
I got my medal.
(The
bus outside honks.)
Didi: Oh!
There's the bus! You better hurry, you know how the driver doesn't like to
wait.
Angelica: Now listen
up. I don't want any of you guys talking to me on the bus, I've convinced
everyone that we're just casual acquaintences.
(The
Rugrats walk onto the school bus. Didi talks to the bus driver.)
Didi: And please
be careful going over bumps. Dil's stomach has been a little queezy lately.
(The
bus driver turns to Didi. The driver is Grandpa.)
Grandpa: He'll
throw-up just like all the other kids, that's why they invented sawdust.
(Dil
walks onto the bus.)
Dil: Hey
Grandpa. How's Grandma?
Grandpa: Still off
cruising the Nile. She sends her love.(to the others) Hang on kids, it's
gonna be a bumpy ride!
(Grandpa
closes the bus door.)
Grandpa: I've had 3
bowls of oatmeal and a pint of prune juice, and I'm rarin' to go! (shifts
gears and drives) Wheee!
(Angelica
sits down beside Samantha in back seat.)
Angelica: Hey
Samantha, have you heard the new Emica CD? Just came out yesterday!
Samantha: Cool!
Lemme see!
(Samantha
realises that there's something slimy on the CD.)
Samantha: Ewww! Is
that peanut butter?
Angelica: Oh my
gosh! Where did that come from?
Tommy: (to
Chuckie) Don't look now, but I think Angelica found the peanut
butter.
(Chuckie
looks back and sees Samantha, he opens his mouth in shock and acts like he's
fallen in love. Samantha is looking at herself in a pocket mirror, when she
puts it away she sees Chuckie; he gasps and turns around.)
Tommy: What's
wrong Chuckie?
Chuckie: (giggles
nervously) That girl.
Tommy: Who?
Angelica?
Chuckie: No!
Not Angelica! Her friend! I was looking at her then she looked at me and then
she almost smiled and I had to turn around.
(Tommy
turns around looks at Samantha then looks back)
Tommy: That's
Samantha Shane.
(Cut
back to Angelica and Samantha; they are looking at the CD insert.)
Samantha: Oh, wow!
That's a totally cute look!
Angelica: I have
those same exact shoes.
Samantha: Really?
Can I borrow them for the Emica concert tomorrow?
Angelica: Well, um,
I actually lost them somewhere.
(Samantha
looks at Tommy, who's looking at Samantha. Getting caught in the act, Tommy
ducks down.)
Samantha: Ooh, that
Tommy Pickles keeps looking back here. I can't believe that you have the same last
name and you're not even related.
Angelica: I know,
it's awful. I asked my parents if I could change my last name to LaTiffany, but
they said no.
Samantha: Parents.
(Cut
back to Tommy & Chuckie. Phil eavesdrops from the seat behind them.)
Tommy: Are you
sure she smiled at you, Chuckie?
Chuckie: Yes, well,
almost. I feel kind of sick. But, in a good way. I never felt this way before,
Tommy.
Tommy: Wow!
Chuckie: And, I
would've smiled back, but I'm afraid my lips would get stuck on my braces.
Lil: Does that
happen?
Chuckie: Well, it
hasn't happened yet, but I think it's possible. And I cant risk smiling at a
cute girl like Samantha, and there's a chance that halfway through, my mouth is
gonna get all tangled up and, can I?
Kimi: You guys!
Tomorrow we're officially practically teenagers! We're going to our first
concert!
Lil: Yeah,
unless you count those baby concerts, where they gave out juice and made us
quack.
Phil: Anyone
else miss those sippy cups?
(The
other Rugrats respond strangely.)
Phil: I was just
checking.
Tommy: You know,
Emica always ask somebody in the audience to come up and sing with her. I hope
it's me.
(Cut
back to the back of the bus, where Samantha and Angelica are looking at a
magazine; the ad had a special promotion where someone can win a free T-shirt.)
Samantha: Isn't
Emica cool? Everybody's dressing retro for the concert. I'm borrowing my mom's
faux fur mini. What are you wearing?
Angelica: My mom's
lime green power suit.
Samantha: Ew! That's
not retro, that's sad.
Angelica: Did I say
power suit? I meant crop top and matching capri pants!
(Angelica
points to magazine.)
Angelica: And that!
(Magazine
has picture of Emica with the same medallion as Stu's.)
Samantha: You have
the same necklace?
Angelica: Of course!
Samantha: I can't
believe it.
(The
bus stops and parks at Jim Jr. Jr. High School. The door opens and the kids
disembark.)
Grandpa: Okay
sprouts, off to school. I got a skydiving lesson at 10:30.
(As
Chuckie get up and picks up his upside-down backpack, his books fall out.)
Samantha: (to
Angelica) That's great about the necklace. If you really have it, I mean.
(Angelica
scowls at Samantha.)
(Chuckie
closes his backpack and gets up. He bumps into Samantha. She scowls at his
homeliness. Chuckie smiles, but the middles of his lips are stuck.)
Samantha: The lips.
(She
smiles and gives Chuckie her lip balm.)
Samantha: I don't
need it back.
(Samantha
gets off the bus. Chuckie looks at the lip balm and caresses it like a prized
possession, smiling. Fade out.)
(Commercial break)
(Fade
into a science classroom, starting with a planet mobile and panning towards the
center of the classroom. The science teacher. Mrs. Guppie, pulls down a picture
of the earth's insides. Pan down towards Tommy & Chuckie, who sit next to
each other at their desks.)
Tommy: She said
you could keep it? That's pretty serious.
Chuckie: I think I
like her, Tommy.
Tommy: Is that
why you keep writing her name all over your book cover?
(Cut
to Chuckie's book, which has Samantha's name written all over it.)
Chuckie: Well, it's
only this book.
(Lil,
sitting next to Kimi, talks to Chuckie.)
Lil: Hey
Chuckie, are you using that lip sutff?
Chuckie: No.
Lil: Can I have
it?
Chuckie: (yelling)
No!
(Cut
to the front of the class. Mrs. Guppie is tapping her ruler on the desk.)
Mrs.
Guppie: Let's move on to our science projects. Who would like to go
first? I bet Tommy would.
Tommy: Sure, Mrs.
Guppie!
(Tommy
gets up from his desk and carries his science project to the front of the room.
The project involves a pickle, a battery and some wires with clips and probes.)
Tommy: I have
here an ordinary dill pickle. Not to be confused with my baby brother, Dil
Pickles.
(The
class laughs.)
Tommy: And now, I
will demonstrate the principle of charged sodium particles. You see,
there's sodium in pickles, and sodium conducts electricity. Watch.
(Tommy
touches the probes with each other, making sparks. Then, he inserts a probe in
each end of the pickle. The pickle glows a bright orange. The class reacts in
awe.)
Mrs.
Guppie: Where ever did you get such a clever idea?
(The
class applauds. Tommy removes the probes and puts his project away. As this
happens, Angelica walks into the classroom and waves.)
Angelica: Sorry to
interrupt, Mrs. Guppie! I love what you done to the place. Are those new
whiteboards?
Mrs.
Guppie: Flattery didn't work 2 years ago, Miss Pickles, and it
won't... work... now.
Angelica: I need to
talk to Tommy; it's a... a... family emergency!
Mrs.
Guppie: Is everything alright?
Angelica: Yeah...
his dog has a bad case of gas.
(The
class laughs.)
Phil: She said
gas! Not me! You all heard it!
Mrs.
Guppie: (to class) Order! Order!
(Angelica
drags Tommy to the hallway.)
Tommy: Spike
always has gas, Angelica. What's going on?
Angelica: Thomas,
forget all our past differences. Forget I said never to talk to me in public.
Forget that I boss you around for the past 11 years. Right now, I need you to
do the biggest favor of your life for me. I need to wear your dad's gold
medallion to the Emica concert.
Tommy: But my
dad's wearing it in that contest. It's his good luck charm.
Angelica: But I need
it way more! You see, Samantha told Natalie, who told Ashley, who told Madison,
who told her cousin in Holland, to say I have that same exact necklace as
Emica, and the cousin sent a chain e-mail to all her friends!
Tommy:
Angelica...
Angelica: Okay, so
it's in Dutch! Who cares? I've been talked about around the world!
Tommy: Angelica,
I can't.
Angelica: But if I
show up without that necklace, Samantha will tell everyone I lied!
Tommy: But you
always sort of... lie.
Angelica: (yelling)
That's not the point!
(The
bell rings. The kids start to leave the class.)
Tommy: I'm sorry
Angelica. I just can't help you this time.
Angelica: Some
cousin you are, Pickles! See if I ever do anything for (yells) you and
your dumb friends again!
(Angelica
walks away. Tommy shakes his head in disbelief.)
(Cut
to cafeteria. Then, cut to the serving line, where a big, surly worker doles
out a big blob of goop to each student.)
Dil: How come
you have to wear that thing on your head and not on your arms?
(The
cafeteria lady gives Dil an extra big blob of goop.)
Dil: Everytime
I say that, she gives me the crusty part of the tuna casserole!
(Dil
walks away with Tommy, Chuckie and Kimi. Phil and Lil just left the line with
spaghetti.)
Lil: Look!
Spaghetti, our favorite!
Phil: I don't
know why, but it takes me back right to my childhood.
(Phil
picks up the spaghetti with his bare hands.)
Kimi: Yuck! That
stuff looks like worms!
Phil: That's it!
Come on, Lil!
(Phil
& Lil run away. Kimi joins them.)
Kimi: (to
Tommy & Chuckie) Save you a seat!
(Chuckie
proceeds to join them, but stops when he sees Samantha talking with Angelica.)
Chuckie: (to
Tommy) There she is. How do I look? Is my hair sticking up?
Tommy: No more
than usual.
Chuckie: Oh, no!
She's coming this way! Fix it, Tommy!
(Tommy
uses his fingers to attempt to straighten Chuckie's hair.)
Chuckie: I'm
getting that feeling in my stomach again.
Tommy: Just act
natural, Chuckie. Just be yourself.
Angelica: (to
Samantha) No way.
(Chuckie
looks towards the girls and groans a little bit. His hair is all over the front
side of his head.)
Samantha: Ew! Come
on, Angelica!
Angelica: Smooth
move, Finster.
Chuckie: I might as
well just hide for the rest of my 2.5 years in braces.
(Chuckie
walks away.)
Angelica: (to
Tommy) Very interesting. Your best friend has a crush on my best friend.
Tommy: Uh, what
makes you think that?
Angelica: Please
Tommy, I read teen magazines. Spill it!
Tommy: Well,
okay. Chuckie likes Samantha, but now he's definitely too scared to talk to
her.
Angelica: I could
fix that.
Tommy: You could?
How?
Angelica: Samantha
listens to everything I say. I'll just tell her what a great guy Chuckie is.
Tommy: You really
do that? What's the catch?
Angelica: It's easy.
I'll fix up metalmouth with Samantha, if you get me your Uncle Stu's zodiac
necklace. Deal?
(They
look at Chuckie, who's sitting all by himself, depressed.)
Tommy: Deal.
Angelica: Perfect.
I'll be over first thing tomorrow morning to pick it up. That should give you
time to, you know, borrow it temporarily.
(They
look at Chuckie again, still depressed. He straightens his hair.)
(Camera
zooms in close onto Tommy, then fades out.)
(Commercial break.
In the video and foreign versions, a "To Be Continued"
caption is displayed; foreign versions have the closing credits afterward.
On the video, and in foreign versions of part two, a title
card, "All Growed Up, part 2" is displayed; then, at the start of the
next scene, the WMD credits are presented over.
In foreign versions only, a brief recap of part 1 is
presented between the title card and the start of the next scene.)
(Fade
in to Tommy and Dil's house; the school bus stops and drops Tommy & Dil
off. They walk into the house.)
Dil: Do you
really think dad's gonna let you borrow his medallion?
Tommy: I'm sure
he'll understand after I explain about Chuckie and Samantha. Besides, I doubt
Dad really believes in all that good luck charm stuff anyhow.
(Tommy
& Dil walk in. Stu, Didi, Charlotte, Drew, Chazz and Betty are also here,
in period 70s and 80s clothes.)
Didi: Poor Kira
is missing all the fun.
(Betty
purposely bumps into Chazz.)
Betty: Hey,
Chazzster, thanks for filling in after Howie's little mishap practising his
dance moves.
(Betty
bumps Chazz again, forcing him on the couch.)
Chazz: Maybe it's
not too late to offer my services as a judge.
(Betty
pulls Chazz off of the couch.)
Betty: Nothing
doing, buddy -- that mirror ball trophy is ours.
Stu: (voice
only) Sorry, Betty, but I'm begging to differ.
(Cut
to Stu, wearing his disco suit.)
Betty: (voice
only) Whoa! Move over Tony Manero!
(Stu
struts his stuff.)
Stu: That's
right! You are looking at tomorrow's "Dinosaurs of Disco" champion!
Drew: Hah!
You're a dinosaur, alright. What makes you so sure you can still take the
prize?
Stu: Three
things, bro -- my moves...
(Stu
dances.)
Stu: My dance
partner...
(Stu
gets Didi to dance with him.)
Didi: Stu!
Careful with the partner!
Stu: And last
but not least. my good luck charm -- wouldn't dance without it.
(Stu
holds his medallion. Tommy and Dil look at each other nervously.)
(Cut
to exterior of house at night. Then, cut to Tommy's room, where Tommy is
working on a fake medallion. Dil walks in, yawning.)
Tommy: Shh! What
are you doing up?
Dil: I can't
get back to sleep.
(Dil
looks at the round dog biscuit.)
Dil: Are you
gonna eat that cookie?
Tommy: It's a dog
treat.
Dil: Even
better! Let me try!
(Dil
tries to grab the dog biscuit, but Tommy stops him.)
Tommy: No, Dil, I
need it to make a fake Scorpio medallion since I can't ask Dad for his.
Dil: But won't
Angelica know it's fake? What if she smells the cookie?
Tommy: Dog treat!
She's getting a real one. I'll switch this with dad's, just for a day.
Dil: Seems like
a lot of trouble for a girl.
(Tommy
puts a chain on the fake medallion.)
Tommy: There.
(Tommy
walks to Dil and shows him the completed medallion, waving it back and forth.)
Tommy: What do
you think?
Dil: (sleepy)
I'm going back to bed.
(Tommy
has an idea. He continues to wave the medallion back and forth.)
Tommy: Look into
my medal. You are getting sleepy, Dil. Sleepy. Tomorrow you will do all my
chores and act like a monkey.
(Dil
collapses to sleep. Tommy giggles.)
(Cut
to Stu and Didi's room; they sleep. Spike is laying down next to them. Tommy
sneaks in and switches the real medallion with the fake one, then sneaks back
out, closing the door behind him.)
(Cut
to night sky. Dissolve to morning sky; pan down to house.)
(Cut
to Spike; he wakes up and smells the air. He wals to the fake medallion and
eats it.)
(Cut
to kitchen. Tommy walks in while Dil taks out the trash.)
Tommy: I got it!
Dil: That's
great, Tommy. Hurry up and eat breakfast 'cause I like to do the dishes before
I mow the lawn.
(Dil
acts like a monkey.)
Tommy: It worked!
I guess I better get you a banana.
(Spike
sees the real medallion on the table and picks it up with his teeth, then walks
off with it.)
Dil: Spike, no!
I just wiped the table!
Tommy: Dil, chill
out. I told you to do my chores, not to turn into mom.
(Dil
acts like a monkey again while Tommy gets him a banana.)
Tommy: Here you
go, Dil.
(Tommy
notices that the medallion is missing; all that remains is a small pool of
drool on the table.)
Tommy: Hey!
Where's the medallion?
(Dil
continues playing a monkey.)
Tommy: Okay,
joke's over! Where is it?
Dil: Spike's
eating it!
(The
boys rush into the backyard.)
Tommy: Spike!
(They
see the fake medallion's torn wrappers on the ground.)
Tommy: Oh no! The
wrappers from the fake one!
(They
run to Spike, who's licking himself. Tommy opens Spike's jaws.)
Tommy: He must've
thought the real one was a dog treat, too.
Dil: You
mean...
(Spike
stands up, panting.)
Stu: (voice
only, from house) Tommy! Dil!
Dil: (to
Tommy) You are in so much trouble.
(Cut
to, and zoom into, Tommy, looking nervous. Fade out.)
(Commercial break)
(Fade
into the house's exterior. Cut to kitchen.)
Stu
(panicky) What am I gonna do? I had that Scorpion medallion for over 20
years!
(Stu
walks away, sobbing.)
Didi: Tommy, why
would you take something that meant so much to your father, without asking
first?
(Tommy
was about to speak, until Angelica enters, slamming the door behind her.)
Angelica: Morning,
favorite family! Today's the big day! While you guys dance to your lame-o
music, your kids are gonna be at the biggest, coolest concert of the year,
wearing all the latest fashions, of course!
Didi: Not right
now, Angelica. We're in the middle of a family crisis.
Drew: (quietly)
Is it Spike?
Didi: No!
Stu: Yes!
(Didi
and Stu's answers above are simultaneous.)
Stu: Our
geriatric, overweight dog ate my medallion!
Angelica: They what?
Dil: He thought
it was a dog treat. Long story.
Didi: And
getting longer. Tommy was just about to tell us why he took the medallion in
the first place. Tommy?
(Everyone
is looking at Tommy.)
Tommy: Uh....
Stu: (angry)
We're waiting!
Dil: I'll tell
you why he did it!
Tommy: Dil! No!
(Angelica
plugs her ears.)
Dil: Tommy took
it because he...
Tommy: ...
because I wanted to wear it to the Emica concert so she'd see me in the
audience and invite me on stage to sing with her. I'm sorry, dad.
(Tommy
bows his head. Angelica unplugs her ears and sighs.)
Stu: Tommy, you
took something that wasn't yours without asking. And now, it's gone. (sigh)
I guess we have to...
Didi: (sobbing)
...we have to ground you!
Dil: But mom!
Dad! We all supposed to go to the Emica concert together!
Stu: Sorry,
son, but Tommy would have to miss it.
Tommy: But it's
my first concert!
Didi: (sobbing)
Oh, cursed the revised edition of Lipschitz!
(Didi
continues to cry. Charlotte walks over to Didi to comfort her.)
Charlotte: There,
there. You're doing the right thing. (to Drew) Thank heavens Angelica is
so well-behaved. We better let them have a moment alone.
(Drew
and Charlotte start to leave.)
Charlotte: (to Stu
& Didi) See you at the disco tonight!
(Both
Stu and Didi sob.)
Angelica: (angrily,
to Tommy) Nice going, Pickles! You can just forget about me introducing
Finster to Samantha now!
(Angelica
bolts out. Cut to, and zoom into, a dejected Tommy.)
(Cut
to the backyard. The Rugrats are sitting under a tree.)
Kimi: I can't
believe you're grounded.
Phil: I never
thought I see the day!
(Cut
to Tommy, still sad.)
Phil: Not that
I'm happy about it, or anything.
Lil: You never
do anything wrong.
Chuckie: Why would
you give Angelica the medallion anyway?
Tommy: Uh, 'cause
she asked me if she could borrow it to wear it to the concert.
Phil: You know,
if Spike ate that necklace, you'll still get it back.
All: Eww!
Tommy: Yeah, but
it's not in time for the dance contest.
Chuckie: Who would
want it then?
Tommy: You guys
go and have fun.
(The
Rugrats get up and leave.)
(Cut
to exterior of house.)
Stu: (voice
only) I almost feel like staying home with Tommy.
(Cut
to interior; Stu, in his disco suit, sits on the stairs, while Didi adjusts her
hoop earrings.)
Stu: There's no
way we're going to win without my good luck charm.
Didi: Stu, I am
wearing polyester and platform shoes. We're going! Besides, I already lined up
a sitter for Tommy.
Stu: A sitter?
What about Pop?
Didi: Your
father said he had plans, and was very mysterious about them. Oh, we're lucky
to have found someone on such short notice.
(The
doorbell buzzes. Stu gets the door.)
Stu: Great;
probably gonna cost us twice as much.
(Stu
opens the door; Susie is right outside.)
Susie: Actually,
it's triple my normal rate, but I might give you a break on mileage since I
live across the street.
(Susie
comes in.)
Stu: Mileage?
But you don't even drive yet!
Susie: Ha ha,
gotcha, Mr. Pickles. So, who am I looking at? Tommy and Dil? Tommy, Dil,
Chuckie and Kimi? Or Tommy, Dil, Chuckie, Kimi, Phil and...
Didi: It's just
Tommy, Susie. The rest of the kids are going to the Emica concert.
Susie: Who wants
to see another teen sensation in a trendy wardrobe?
Stu: Couldn't
get a ticket?
Susie: No! It was
totally sold out. All my friends are going, and I'm stuck babysitting.
(Susie
walks away.)
Didi: (to
Stu) That Susie Carmichael is so sweet. Come on, Stu; it's time to boogie!
(Cut
to backyard; the Rugrats are at the sandbox.)
Tommy: Remember
when we always used to sit in the sandbox when we were bummed out?
Lil: Yeah.
Sandbox, how could I have foesaken ye.
(Lil
pours a small shovelful of sand. Phil is on his back, crossing his legs.)
Phil: Yeah, we
had a lot of good times in this here dirt.
Chuckie: Lost a lot
of good toys in here, too.
(Spike
jumps into the sandbox, getting sand all over the Rugrats.)
Phil: You know,
I thought it was deeper than this.
Lil: Yeah, I
never touched the bottom before. Wait! What's this?
Chuckie: Is that my
happy hippo pencil cap? Not that I'm still looking for it.
Lil: No,
it's...
(Lil
pulls Stu's medallion out of the sand.)
Tommy: My dad's
medallion!
(Stu
and Didi pull out of the driveway, into the street and drove off. Tommy &
Dil were a little too late in catching them.)
Tommy: Mom! Dad!
Wait! Don't go!
Dil: Wait! Come
back!
(Tommy
looks sad.)
(Cut
to the theater, where the Emica concert is getting ready, Lights switch on on
stage. Cut to aerial view, them pan to a queue, where the ticket holders are
standing in line.)
Stage
Announcer: Testing, 1-2-3; testing, 1-2-3...
Samantha: Great
seats! I bet Emica is gonna pick one of us to sing with her! So, show me the
necklace.
Angelica: Oh, my
mom's bringing it in a little while, um, I'm had to have it cleaned,
because, you know, it's really retro.
Samantha: Right. I
forgot.
(Angelica
acts scared.)
(Pan
from the theatre, across the parking lot, to the community center. Cut to
inside, where a DJ is spinning records and dancers are dancing on a lighted
disco floor to the music. The dancers are in sync, except for Stu.)
Stu: I can't do
it, Deed. I can't feel the beat without my medallion.
(Cut
to Tommy's house; Dil tucks the medallion in his bike pouch. Tommy is outside a
second-floor window, while the other Rugrats are on the ground.)
Tommy: Take it to
dad right away! Okay, Dil?
Dil: We want
you to take it.
Lil: Yeah, it's
not fair that you have to miss the concert, now that you found this.
Tommy: I can't.
I'm grounded.
Chuckie: Tommy,
when have you ever let us say "I can't"? I'll tell you when -- never!
So it's our turn to help you!
Phil: We're
bustin' you out, Pickles!
(Tommy
smiles and clenches his fists.)
(Cut
to living room; Susie is watching the "Dr. Spooky" movie, first seen
by the Rugrats ten years ago.)
Spooky: (on TV,
crazed) Think of the possibilities!
(Spooky
falls.)
Spooky:(on TV) To be
older, wiser, and to see your life as it will be some day!
(As
Spooky does his spiel, Susie gets up, goes to the kitchen, and gets a soda.)
Spooky: (voice
only, on TV) Well, it's quite simple. I set this dial to a precise moment
in the future. It could be days from now, weeks! Or even years! To be older,
wiser...
(As
Spooky drones on, Susie returns to the living room. The Rugrats are upstairs.
Plil & Lil give reach other the thumbs up. The Rugrats crawl to the front
door. Tommy jimmies the lock with -- surprise -- a screwdriver, then opens the
door. They act surprise when Susie was standing right outside.)
Susie: You think
I don't know when you're up to something?
Tommy: Oh.
Susie: Whatever
it is, you better count me in!
(Cut
back to ticket line at concert.)
Samantha: I think
you lied to me, Angelica. You never had that necklace, and I bet you never been
to Paris, and I bet you are related to Tommy Pickles!
Angelica: I have so
been to Paris, and I can explain about the necklace!
Samantha: Yeah,
right! What a phony!
Angelica: Oooh!
(Angelica
sees Tommy and the gang coming over on their bikes.)
Angelica: Huh?
Tommy?
(She
runs to catch up to them.)
Lil: Tommy!
Don't stop!
(Angelica
stops right in front of Tommy. He swerves out of the way, only to fall over.
The medallion falls out, but he catches it.)
Angelica: You found
the necklace!
Tommy: Yeah, but
you can't have it, Angelica! I should've never agreed to our deal. If Samantha
can't see what a great guy Chuckie is without you telling her, then she's not
good enough for my best friend!
Chuckie: Tommy!
She's coming over.
(Samantha
walks over to them.)
Angelica: Come on!
Just let me wear that thing for a minute! Samantha's gonna think I'm a total
fake!
Tommy: Start
telling the truth, Angelica.
Samantha: What's he
doing with your necklace?
(Tommy
gives Angelica a serious look; Angelica looks nervous.)
Angelica: First of
all, he's my cousin. And it's his necklace, not mine. He was gonna let me
borrow it.
Samantha: Oh wow! I
really have to think about this, Angelica.
(Samantha
walks away, but stops at Chuckie.)
Samantha: Hey.
Chuckie: (nervously)
Hi!
(Chuckie
covers his mouth.)
Samantha: Don't I
know you?
(Angelica
walks to them.)
Angelica: If you
don't you should. He's only the cutest kid in school. Samantha Shane, meet
Chuck, I mean, Charlie Finster. The Third.
(Angelica
holds up 4 fingers for "the third".)
Samantha: Hi,
Charlie.
Chuckie: Hi. Uh,
you gave me your lip balm the other day?
Samantha: Oh, now I
remember! Braces, the worst. How long are you in for?
Chuckie: 2.5 years.
Samantha: See,
sometimes, after they tighten them, you drool and stuff, that's when I learned
about the lip balm.
Chuckie: You
drooled?
Samantha: You know,
you're gonna look really cute when they come off.
(Samantha
touches Chuckie's face; he smiles.)
Samantha: Hey! Why
don't we all sit together? It's really cool to have a cousin to have the same
necklace as Emica.
Ticket
Taker: (with megaphone) I need to see everyone's ticket
now! No ticket, no seat!
Susie: Guess I'm
out of here, guys.
(Susie
starts to leave. Angelica catches up to her.)
Angelica: Don't go,
Susie. Take my ticket.
Susie: For real?
What's the catch?
Angelica: Don't make
a federal case of it. I have to take something to my Uncle Stu. Right, Tommy?
(Tommy
smiles.)
(Cut
to stage, where Emica is. Overhead, there's a big screen image of her. In the crowd,
concert-goers are yelling, "Emica! Emica!")
Angelica: No time to
look!
(Angelica
grabs Tommy.)
Angelica: You too,
pipsqueak! Let's go!
(Angelica
returns to grab Dil and runs off. Fade out.)
(Commercial break)
(Cut
to disco contest. Betty is bumping Chazz.)
Charlotte: (to
Drew) Oh, what a gimmick!
(Charlotte
and Drew dance. Meanwhile, a judge disqualifies another couple.)
Judge: You're
disqualified. You have to leave.
(Betty
bumps Chazz past the disqualified couple, into a speaker.)
Judge: I believe
you're done.
Betty: Not fair!
(Cut
to Stu and Didi dancing. Stu doesn't have much of a groove.)
Stu: I just
can't do it, Deed; face it, without my scorpio medallion, I'm nothing.
Didi: But you're
not even a scorpio; you're a libra.
Stu: Eh?
Didi: Actually,
you're on a cusp, but trust me, Stu; you're a libra.
Stu: What are
you talking about? I don't even believe in astrology! I just know I can't dance
without it
(Cut
to overhead shot; then, scan to enterance, where the Rugrats rush in.)
Tommy: Hurry!
Come on, get out of the way!
Angelica: Excuse me!
Tommy: Dad!
Catch!
(Dil
tosses the medallion. Stu looks, and catches the medallion.)
Stu: Tommy?
Dil?
(The
judge stands by and taps his clipboard with his pen.)
Tommy: Good luck,
Dad!
Didi: Stu,
dance!
Stu: Yes!
(Stu
puts on his medallion, and begins to dance. Didi joins in. The crowd gathers to
watch them. At the end, everyone cheered.)
Angelica: Okay. We
embarrased ourselves enough. Let's go.
(The
Rugrats leave.)
(Stu
begins to twirl Didi around overhead.)
Didi: Stu, I
don't believe I can do that!
(Cut
to entrance to concert. The Rugrats rush up to it.)
Angelica: Well, I
guess I'll see you guys later.
(Angelica
leaves.)
Dil: Too bad
you have to miss the concert.
Angelica: Yeah,
yeah; we'll, that's the price of being nice.
(Tommy
walks up to Angelica.)
Tommy: Angelica?
What you did was, well, anyway, thanks.
Angelica: Ah, forget
about it. Were cousins, stuck to each other for all eternity.
(Grandpa,
in an Emica t-shirt, arrives.)
Grandpa: That is
the sweetest dogburned thing I ever heard you two sprouts say.
Rugrats: Grandpa?
Dil: isn't it
past your bedtime, Grandpa?
Grandpa: Darn
tootin'! But I wanted to see this Emica that everybody's talking about.Your
Grandma and I like to keep up with the new crooners. Of course, your Grandma
had to go cruise in Egypt, leaving me with an extra ticket.
