[Scary laughter]

[Cryptkeeper humming]

Hee-hee-hee!

Mary, mary, hairy and scary,

How does your garden grow?

Better'n yours, you old

Scab!

What?

I've got two green thumbs.

Oh, no!

It's the weed-feedin',

Slug-buggy, old bat woman,

The ooold witch!

[Smooch].

Beat it, jack.

Ooof!

Snake plants...

[Gasp!]

Nightshade, and my personal

Favourite...

Witch hazel!

Aaahhh!

You just destroyed

My mari-ghouls and mourning

Gories!

Tough cookies, crypty.

What do ya call a boat full

Of vampires?

A blood vessel!

Ah-ha-ha-ha!

This is the last straw!

You couldn't be more right.

You feed the birdies, crypty,

While i... Ah-ha!

Today we have a worm-hearted,

Tender little love story.

It's about a young plant

Enthusiast named wendell who

Had a special place

In his heart for venus

Flytraps.

I call it... "Growing pains."

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Whew, is it hot in here!

[School bell ringing]

[Gasp!]

Today we will continue

Our study of the dionaea

Muscipula.

I'm not absent, mrs. Katz!

Whoa... Whoa!

Whooaaa!

[Crash]

Ooof!

Just late.

[Students laughing]

For the third time this

Week.

If science is your favourite

Subject, wendell, why are

You so consistently late

For my class?

Due to a situation beyond

My control, mrs. Katz.

Hmmm.

[Students snickering]

Whoaaa!

[Students laughing]

That's enough.

Now, can anyone tell me

About the dionaea muscipula?

Yes?

The...

Dionaea muscipula is more

Commonly known as the...

The venus flytrap.

[Gasp!]

It's a carnivorous plant

That feeds on insects

By trapping them and slowly

Sucking the juices out of them

Alive.

Eew!

What's that?

Eew!

W-would you like to hear

More?

Uh-huh!

Um... Uh... Yes!

Oh... Um...

Ach-hem.

I think we've heard enough.

Thank you, rose.

Ohhh...

[Gasp!]

Is... Is anyone there?

[Gasp!]

Aaahhh!

Rrrrrah!

Aaahhh!

Ooof!

[Gasp!]

Hi, I'm wendell.

You're rose... The new girl.

You nearly scared me

To death!

Well, I would never want

To scare you... Not just

'Cause you're asthmatic.

I mean, not only

Because you have asthma.

I mean... Aw... I was just

Collecting specimens

For my science project.

Tripped.

I'm sorry.

I was most impressed

By your knowledge

Of the dionaea muscipula.

The venus flytrap is one

Of my favourite plants.

Mine, too!

Oh, wow!

Is this great, or what?

So, uh, can I walk you home,

Rose?

No... I mean, I'll be fine

By myself.

Wh-what was that?

I was about to ask

You the same thing.

Uh, maybe we should, uh, walk

Each other home.

Good idea.

There's something after us,

Isn't there?

Just keep moving, and don't

Look back.

Come on, this way!

[Rose panting for breath]

I've got to... [Pant, pant]

Stop!

Come on, rose, just

A little further.

[Gulp!]

Ahhh!

Aaahhh!

Aw, I think we scared 'em,

Louie.

Ha-ha-ha!

Yeah, we sure did!

I bet you thought we were some

Kind of big hand monster

Or something!

Heh-heh-heh!

This time you two have gone

Too far!

You've pushed me

Over the edge!

Your anguished cries and pleas

For mercy fall on deaf ears.

I am no longer responsible

For my actions!

You two are nothing

But uncouth ne'er-do-wells,

Whose only reason for being is

To plague innocents

With your mindless, juvenile

Pranks, and stone-age humour!

Huh?

The truth hurts, doesn't

It?

Ha-ha-ha...

Wendell!

Are you okay, rose?

Me?

Never mind me.

They didn't hurt you, did

They?

Naw, I'm fine.

Sorry for the strong language

Back there, but when I saw how

Badly they frightened you,

Well, I guess I snapped.

Well, here we are.

Neat house.

You really think so?

Yeah, it has a certain, uh,

Creepiness.

I like that in a house.

Well, I guess I should go.

Rose, I know we haven't

Known each other very long,

But... Uh... Well, could you...

Would you be my... Science

Partner?

I'd... I'd love to,

Wendell.

Together, I'm certain

We could get a report

Published in "scientific"

America", and...

I said, yes.

[Gasp!]

Is this great, or what?

See ya tomorrow...

Science partner.

I have to admit, wendell,

We're quite the team.

No fooling, rose.

I had no idea our

Cross-pollinating hybrids

Would be so radically diverse.

I say a lot of the credit goes

To your father's fertilizer.

Give me that!

Stick in some of those new

Plants we dug up, louie.

Ha-ha-ha!

Sure thing, chet,

And you sprinkle them

With some of the nerdette's

Fertilizer.

Aw, look, we used it all

Up.

That's okay, chet.

There's more where that came

From.

Those are very

Healthy-looking rhus

Toxicondendron specimens,

Louie.

Rusty what?

Rhus-toxi-condendron.

We use up their stuff,

And they even make us a sign?

What a pair of

Double-decker dweebs.

Ah-ha-ha-ha...

Heh-heh-heh, an entire

Terrarium full of...

Poison ivy!

They'll be scratching

For months!

Ha-ha-ha!

Would you like to... Come

In?

Does a clematis like acidic

Soil?

Ha-ha-ha!

I'd love to meet

Your parents.

I don't think they're home

Right now.

Wow!

Have a seat, wendell.

I'll get us something

To drink.

Make mine a double,

Heh-heh!

"H", that is, with lots

Of "o."

One water coming up.

[Cough, cough, cough].

I wonder what's out there.

Huh?

Aaahhh!

Who are you?

What are you doing here,

Trying to spy?

Go away!

Leave us alone!

Do not meddle in things

You know nothing about!

Yes, well... Uh, pleased

To meet you, too.

I-i'm wendell.

Nice... Uh, kerchief.

Aunt fern!

I'm terribly sorry, wendell.

Whoa!

That's my aunt fern.

She's usually... Napping around

Now.

I don't think she likes me.

Go away!

It's not that.

It's just, well... Uh, she's

Old, and suspicious, and...

And maybe you should come back

Some other time.

See you tomorrow, rose.

I meant what I said

About the kerchief.

Go away!

She's warming up.

Bye, wendell.

Gooooo!

Definitely warming up.

Rose, wendell,

Congratulations... A-plus!

[Students cheering]

This is, without a doubt,

The most beautiful,

Meticulous, well-ex*cuted

Project it has ever been

My pleasure to grade.

Which brings us to you two...

F-minus.

It's not our fault,

Mrs. Katz.

And stop scratching.

Awww... Guess nobody's home.

[Gasp!]

You're gonna be sorry now,

Wendo!

Uh-oh!

Up there!

Whoooaaa!

Ooof!

Uhhh... Wow!

Ah-ha!

Whoooaaa!

Ooof!

Oooh... What is this place?

[Gasp!]

Who cares?

You get him that way.

I'll get him this way.

Keep your eye out for any

Of that "rusty taxi" stuff,

Chet.

You, too.

[Gasp!]

Chet?

Louie?

Chet?

Chettttt!

Yaaahhh!

Whoooaaa!

Ooof...

My glasses!

I can't see a thing

Without them.

Rose?

Guess again, wendo!

Ha-ha-ha...

You're in big trouble,

Wendo!

Whoooaaa!

[Cough, cough].

Hey!

Hey!

Aaahhh!

Chettt!

Loouie!

Yaaahhh!

We're gonna be plant food!

Aaahhh!

Stop!

Wendell?

Wendell, are you all right?

Boy, does your dad ever

Have some neat plants!

Hey, maybe this is a good time

To introduce me to your folks.

Uh, they're not home.

What were you doing

In the garden, wendell?

Aw, it's a long story.

I'll tell you all about it

Tomorrow night at the flower

Show.

The flower show?

Yes, at the horticultural

Centre?

I came to invite you to go

With me.

Like a date?

No, just a... Well... Can't

Friends just go somewhere

Together?

That depends on what

My parents say.

I'll ask them.

Great!

But do me a favour?

Don't ask aunt fern.

I had a wonderful time

At the flower show, wendell.

So did i, rose.

Know what the prettiest flower

Was?

The lilies?

No, a rose.

Wendell, I should explain

About my parents... They're

A little... Weird.

All parents are weird,

Rose.

Aaahhh!

We got some unfinished

Business with you two!

Wendell?

Hi, guys.

So, uh, what do you think

About the possibility of,

You know, maybe leaving us

Alone?

Ha-ha!

Not this time, wendo.

We haven't had the opportunity

To thank you.

Ha-ha!

Yeah, for the poison ivy,

The f-minus, and the garden

Party!

My inhaler!

I... [Gasp]... I must have...

[Gasp]... Left it at home.

This is an emergency!

Rose has to get home right

Now!

Nice try, wendo.

Yeah, but we don't buy it.

She's faking.

Yeah, I know faking when

I see it.

Just look at her.

This is serious.

Let her go, I'll stay.

Do what you want?

Just let her go!

I don't think so.

Run, rose!

Run!

Aaahhh!

Not so fast!

I have to... [Gasp]... Get

Home... [Gasp]... Please.

Don't you want to stick

Around to see if you won

The academy award?

You have to... [Gasp]...

Let me past.

[Gasp]... I'm warning you!

Hear that, wendo?

Your girlfriend's warning us.

Ouch!

She's got a thorn or something

Stuck in her...

Yaaahhh!

I told you to let me go.

No, don't!

Please, don't!

You'd better turn

Over a new leaf, or else!

I'll never make fun of you,

Or wendell, or any other nerd

Ever again!

A-a-and we'll never pick

Flowers, or step on grass,

Or...

Aaahhh!

Aaahhh!

Loouie!

Chetttt!

Wendell?

Wow!

Is this great, or what?

As you may have guessed

By now, wendell, we're...

Well... Plants.

Highly evolved plants,

But plants nonetheless.

I knew it the first time

I laid eyes on him.

You see, dear, our species

Has evolved far beyond

Our peers.

We've even able to take

On human form.

With the help of a special

Enzyme inside the inhaler.

He's a good boy, this

Wendell.

I told you I had a weird

Family.

Weird, no.

Different, yes.

Ach-hem!

Heh-heh-heh!

Eat, eat!

How is it, wendell?

Eat up or you won't get any

Desert.

Do you have a napkin?

Do you want a napkin?

Ahh... Romance.

Hee-hee-hee!

That's a story that really

Grows on ya.

Like a wart!

Sorry about the slim pickins,

Fellas.

Looks like we may be

In for a shower...

Perhaps some hail, or maybe

Even...

A three-bedroom,

Fully-detached bungalow.

What is this, an eclipse

Or something?

Who turned out the lights?

So you see, even though

Wendell's date turned out

To be divine, it didn't soil

Their relationship.

Hee-hee-hee!

Besides, rose's family wasn't

That different.

You expecting any more

Tornadoes?

Dig you later!

I'll get ya, my crypty,

And your little dog, too.

Crypty?

Cryptttyyyy...
