Posted: 10/19/22 12:48
[ Snoring]
[ Gasps]
[ Kids laughing]
No, little brother.
You may have baby-sat
on march and april
But I watched the kids
on april ,
And most of may day.
Daddy, that's the wrong bowl.
I'm aware it's saturday morning.
It's morning on this side
of town, too.
But I still need those
yamaguchi statements
Before I make them an offer.
Mommy!
I asked daddy
To put my reptar cereal
in my cynthia bowl
But he puts it
in my dummy bears bowl.
I appreciate your need
to have breakfast your way
But mommy's company
is trying to have breakfast
By eating a small
but highly valued company.
Mommy.
Honey, I'll tell you what:
If you can be quiet
until I'm done working
Mommy will buy you
a special present.
A cynthia townhouse
with patio umbrellas
And jet-spray jacuzzi
And the electric
garage-door opener?
Fine, but only if I don't hear
another sound until I'm done.
Not one little sound.
Till when?
Till the little hand
on the clock
Moves from here
to way up here.
May ,
what was may ?
Oh, right,
my birthday.
Right, okay,
true.
Fine, all right.
I admit it.
You got me by one
baby-sitting, but...
Huh? All right, fine.
Uh, princess?
I know it was going to be
just you and me today
But you don't mind
if the other kids coming over?
[ Growls]
[ Doorbell chiming]
I wanted to leave
the kids with you
While I took dil
to our "daddy and me" class
But if I sing that happy
parachute song one more time
I think my head will explode.
Hi, angelica.
Both:
good morning.
Thanks for letting us
come over to your...
[ Crunching]
[ Gasps]
Sorry, angelica.
Uh, aren't you going
to yell at me now?
She's not yelling.
Maybe she's sick.
Are you sick,
angelica?
Hey, maybe the cat
gots her tongue.
Fluffy!
I heard cats can do that.
Have fluffy
got your tongue?
[ Grumbling]
What is it, angelica?
I think she's doing
that lippy thing.
[ Grunts]
Hey, what's she
doing now?
[ Gasps]
I think she can't breathe!
Oh, no!
We better take her
to her daddy.
He'll know
what to do.
Drew:
golf.
Stu:
football.
Golf!
Football!
Give me that remote before--
Oh, hi, kids.hi.
Princess, would you
watch the babies
During my golf
tournament?
Football game.
All right,
sweetheart.
Keep them
under control
And daddy will
buy you
The little
red car.
[ Dil gurgling]
Tv announcer:
and what a lovely day
it is for badminton
Especially when you have two
fiercely competitive players
Like we do this afternoon.
Shh!
Honey, I'm expecting
some important papers
To be delivered.
Can you answer the
door when they come?
Drew:
no problem,
sweetness.
[ Tires screeching]
[ Phonograph needle scratching]
[ Babies laughing]
[ Gasps]
[ Laughing]
[ Grunts]
[ Music slowly winds down]
Charlotte:
angelica!
[ Gasps]
[ Door creaking]
Hold on, jonathan.
Was that you
making all that noise?
Remember our deal, sweetie.
One sound
and no cynthia townhouse.
'Gelica, you said
we could play.
Yeah, we was
having fun.
Shh!
Now, guys, you have
to be nice to people
When they're
feeling sad.
I think angelica
needs a friend today.
Hello.
I'm little joe.
What's your name?
Ow!
Hmm, she doesn't
seem sick
And she still
gots her tongue.
Are you playing
in a game
Or something?
[ Kids babbling]
[ Gasps]
Well, that's the
cynthia's townhouse.
Yep.yeah.
Oh.could be.
[ No sound]
Um, angelica, has the little
dolly been talking to you?
Drew:
princess?[ Doorbell chimes]
[ Doorbell chiming...]
I guess she don't
want us to play
With her toys,
huh?
No, she would
have said something.
Announcer:
this may be
the longest volley
The badminton world
has ever seen.
Back and forth, and back and
forth, and back and forth.
[ Doorbell chiming...]
Pumpkin, please
find out
Which of the babies
is causing that racket.
[ Doorbell chiming...]
And back and forth
and back and forth.
[ Whimpering]
Princess, they're
deadlocked.
Now, remember
our deal.
I'll be out after
this volley, all right?
[ Doorbell chiming...]
Sorry, short stuff,
I need a signature.
Say, are you a little mime?
That's so cute.
Can you do the one
Where you're stuck
inside the glass box?
I love that bit.
[ Phone ringing in house]
Charlotte:
honey, can you
get that?drew:
honey, can you
get that?
[ Whimpers]
[ Phone ringing...]
[ Ringing]
Man:
hello, charlotte?
Hello?
This is your lawyer speaking.
I think something's wrong
with your phone.
If you can hear me, you've got
to look at those papers
I sent you before you
do anything else.
Do not-- I repeat-- do not
say yes to yamaguchi
Till you look at those papers.
Yes, yes, mr. Yamaguchi.
Yes!
[ Kids laughing, singing...]
[ Growls]
♪ Being sad
is not so great ♪
♪ But it's okay
'cause I'll be happy ♪
♪ I'll just sing my song
♪ And then she'll be
lots more happy. ♪
[ Growling]
Hi, angelica!
Why don't you sit down
So's I can take
your temperature?
[ Growling]
Hey, tommy,
I think angelica's
Going to say
something.
[ Growling]
I think you're right,
chuckie.
What you trying to say,
angelica?
[ Growls louder]
"Argh,"
she said "argh."
[ Growls even louder]
Roar! Roar!
There's nothing wrong
with me, you dumb babies!
I'm just trying
to get some toys!
You mean...
You wasn't sad?
[ Growling]
Angelica?
What in the world
is going on here?
I was in the middle
of an important call.
You should have
gotten me
Before the babies
made such a mess.
But...
I'm sorry, angelica.
But after all that noise,
there will not be
Any cynthia
townhouse today.
But...
Nor any little red sports car.
But...
You bribed her
With a red
sports car?
You promised her
a townhouse?
Well, I was busy
at the time and...
Just a few minutes.
The best way
to gain cooperation
Is through--
Positive reinforcement.
Absolutely, and confidence-
building techniques.
[ Stu humming,]
dil laughing]
[ Gurgling]
[ Eating noisily]
Well, I guess angelica
wasn't sick after all.
I guess she wasn't being
our friend, neither.
I told you guys
All she needed
was a little attention.
Well, she's getting
lots of that.
We're very proud
of the way
You're taking
this, princess.
Your emotional
sensitivity
Is quite extraordinary
for someone of your age.
Does this mean
I still get
The car and townhouse?
No.no.
Woman:
♪ take hissy and sissy
and make 'em flail ♪
♪ Reach them back
and bite their tails ♪
♪ Eat those tails,
they're so yummy ♪
♪ Now fold them up
and tie their tummies. ♪
Wasn't that nice, kids?
Let's see.
The snakes eat themselves.
That's so dumb.
Now fold them up
and break their tummies!
Mommy, daddy!
I did it.
I did it!
Be sure to have mommy and daddy

Advanced shoe-tying:
laces of steel.
Bye-bye.
[ Crackling;]
steak sizzling]
[ Doorbell buzzing...]
[ Giggling, laughing...]
[ Doorbell buzzing...]
Sorry, chaz, we're
all in the back yard.
Stu's already started cooking.
I know, I saw the smoke.
Why don't you go
find your friends,
little fellow?
Oh... Oop!
Oop, better tie that shoelace.
Chaz, give me a hand
With these
mushroom frittatas.
Oh, yeah, sure, drew.
Daddy will be there
in just a minute, chuckie.
Hold this for me,
will you, charles?
That's a dear.
I'm here--
Here, mr. Chuckie's dad.
[ Yelling, crashing]
Watch where you're going,
finster.
Hey, you'll never guess
what I learned to do.
Watch.
Um...
Aha!
[ Both grunting]
[ Yells]
Tommy, help!
She's got
my shoes!
Tummies... Tummies!
There, see?
Am I great or what?
Wow, where'd you learn
to tie shoes, angelica?
Snakes taught me.
Chuckie:
snakes?
I'm never learning
to tie my shoes.
And, that's not all I can tie.
[ Barks]
Uh-oh.
Phil:
spike, run!
[ Kids yelling]
Tuck your ears in.
Ah!
[ Barks]
[ Laughing]
I need more to tie!
More, more!
[ Cackling]
What'd she do
to spike, tommy?
I think she tied his ear laces.
Uh, I mean, ears.
Chaz:
okay, daddy can tie
your shoelace now.
Huh?
That's strange.
It's already tied.
But, but everybody's outside
in the yard.
That means, chuckie, you did
this yourself at two years old!
Oh, my gosh.
My son is a
shoe-tying prodigy.
Give me a hug,
chuckie.
Oh, I'm so proud of you.
I can't wait for everyone else
to see you tie your shoes.
I feel bad,
you guys.
My daddy's really proud of me
for something I didn't do.
Don't worry, chuckie.
The huggie still counts.
But, but he said he was
going to show everybody.
That means he's going to
want to see me tie my shoes!
Well, um, uh, they're already
tied, right?
So, alls you gots to do is make
sure they don't come untied.
Well, I guess, but
I gots to take
real good care of them.
There's lots of scary stuff
out there
Just waiting
to untie people's shoes.
[ Whimpering]
No, spike,
not the shoelaces!
Not the shoelaces!
No, spike!
No, spikey!
[ Yelling]
Oh, no!
We gots to tie them
before my daddy comes back
Or he won't be proud of me
no more.
But we don't know
how to tie shoes.
Then that means I got to ask
for help...
No, chuckie.
Don't say it.
...from angelica.
[ All gasping]
Ta-da!
Boy, I never knew
There was so much
that needed tying.
I could tie stuff all day.
Tommy:
oh, hey, angelica?
Uh, could you tie something
for us?
Gosh, tommy, I don't know.
All this tying makes
a person awful tired.
I need something
to give me some energy
Afore I can tie
even one more thing.
Like, um...
Like some of that!
I should have known this
wasn't going to be easy.
And his shoe
was tied.
Isn't that
amazing?
Uh, yeah.
I guess so.
You know phil and lil
can eat tacos.
Phil [ grunting]:
okay, okay.
Tommy:
shh!
Um!
[ Burps]
Um, okay, angelica
Could you tie my shoe now?
Don't you babies know anything?
You gots to wait an hour
after you eat
Afore you can tie shoes.
It's a rule.
Hey, we did what we said,
angelica.
We gotted you a piece of pie.
Now please tie chuckie's shoe.
Oh, all right.
[ Grumbling]
Whew, now I don't
have to worry
About tying
my shoe again.
[ Yelling]
Ooh!
Ah!
It's untied again!
Hmm.
A bag of cheese curly-qs
Sure would hit the spot
Right about now.
No, no, drew,
you want to cook them
In the middle
of the grill.
I'm telling you, betty,
edge burgers taste best.
[ Grunting]
Come see chuckie
tie his shoes.
Hurry, guys, hurry!
Quit pushing.
Why do I got to tie your shoes
from back here anyway?
'Cause my daddy's coming
and I don't want him to see you.
Hurry!
[ Groans]
There's my little mozart.
Now show uncle stu how you tie
your shoes, chuckie.
I guess he's
a little shy.
Most geniuses are.
Tell me about it.
That's why I work
in the basement.
Come on, let's get
a closer look.
Hurry, angelica.
Hurry, they're coming.
What did I tell you?
He's a little einstein.
Come on, stu,
I want to make sure
Everyone gets a chance
to see the magic.
Now I'm just going
to spend my whole life
Worrying about my shoes
coming untied.
You got to help me, tommy.
Well, okay.
I gots an idea.
I'm still hungry.
But if I go out there,
mommy and daddy
Will make me eat
uncle stu's icky burgers.
Oh, well.
Something will untie finster's
shoes sooner or later.
Or, maybe someone.
No, keep stacking.
Nothing's ever going
to untie my shoes again.
Hey, what was...
[ Screams]
Betty:
these burgers look worse
than stu's.
I didn't think
that was possible.
Charlotte:
since someone
dropped the frittatas...
Hello, pizza palace?
Let's all go inside
And watch my genius
tie his shoes.
Maybe that'll cheer us up.
Stu:
sure, okay.
[ Mumbling while chewing]
Okay, you got the cake
you wanted, angelica.
Now, hurry.
You got to tie my shoes
Afore my daddy gets here!
Hey, I'm eating here,
hold your ponies.
Chaz:
hey, chuckie!
Show us what a good shoe-tier
you are.
[ Yells]
[ Grunting]
Didi:
it's amazing! According to the
lipschitz learning curve
Chuckie's already tying his
shoes at a third-grade level
And could be doing algebra
by the age of four.
Wait till you see.
Come on out, chuckie.
That neurologist in my
inventors' support group
Would be interested
in chuckie.
Betty:
forget the
lab geek, stu.
The chuckster
could make a million
In tv commercials.
Our pups did one
and only crawled.
Those commercial people love
cute, precocious kids.
Did you hear
that, chuckie?
You could be
a tv star!
Wait!
It's me! It's me!
I'm the tv star.
I've been tying chuckie's shoes
the whole time!
It's true, we bought her
the miss carol shoe-tying
Video series, volume one.
She's tied
everything in sight.
Oh, well, I guess chuckie's
not going to be a tv star
Child prodigy after all.
Nope!
I am!
You sure are,
princess.
Why don't you
show everyone
How well you can
tie your shoes.
If you want
to be on tv
You got to get used
to everybody watching you.
Everybody?
Um, the two snakes
is hungry so...
They need tummies.
No, no, that's not it.
Uh, snakes is yummy,
so bite their tummies.
No, that's not it, either.
Wait, I can do it.
I know I can.
Well, little fellow.
Looks like you
didn't know
How to tie your
shoes, after all, huh?
[ Sniffling]
Well, don't worry.
There's lots of other
things you're good at.
You got lots of time
to learn
How to tie
your shoes.
Daddy will still love you, even
if you never learn how to tie.
[ Grumbling]
No.
No.
No.
[ Doorbell buzzes]
Hey, pizza's here.
Why don't we all go get it?
[ Doorbell buzzes;
all talk...]
Betty:
let me help you with that,
stu boy.
Drew, I think angelica
may be encountering
A shoe-tying
potentiality block.
We'll have to enroll her
In miss carol's
shoe-tying empowerment seminar.
I'll make the reservation.
Guess what, honey?
You're going to get
to spend a whole week
Tying shoes with
hissy and sissy.
[ Moans]
[ Grunting]
[ Gasps]
[ Kids laughing]
No, little brother.
You may have baby-sat

Thanks for letting us

[ Crunching]
[ Gasps]
Sorry, angelica.
Uh, aren't you going
to yell at me now?
She's not yelling.
Maybe she's sick.
Are you sick,
angelica?
Hey, maybe the cat
gots her tongue.
Fluffy!
I heard cats can do that.
Have fluffy

[ Grumbling]

[ Grunts]
Hey, what's she

[ Gasps]
I think she can't breathe!
Oh, no!
We better take her
to her daddy.
He'll know
what to do.
Drew:
golf.
Stu:
football.
Golf!
Football!
Give me that remote before--
Oh, hi, kids.hi.
Princess, would you
watch the babies
During my golf
tournament?
Football game.
All right,
sweetheart.
Keep them
under control
And daddy will
buy you
The little
red car.

going to show everybody.
That means he's going to
want to see me tie my shoes!
Well, um, uh, they're already
tied, right?
So, alls you gots to do is make
sure they don't come untied.
Well, I guess, but
I gots to take
real good care of them.
There's lots of scary stuff
out there
Just waiting
to untie people's shoes.
[ Whimpering]
No, spike,
not the shoelaces!
Not the shoelaces!
No, spike!
No, spikey!
[ Yelling]
Oh, no!
We gots to tie them
before my daddy comes back
Or he won't be proud of me
no more.
But we don't know
how to tie shoes.
Then that means I got to ask
for help...
No, chuckie.
Don't say it.
...from angelica.
[ All gasping]
Ta-da!
Boy, I never knew
There was so much
that needed tying.
I could tie stuff all day.
Tommy:
oh, hey, angelica?
Uh, could you tie something
for us?
Gosh, tommy, I don't know.
All this tying makes
a person awful tired.
I need something
to give me some energy
Afore I can tie
even one more thing.
Like, um...
Like some of that!
I should have known this
wasn't going to be easy.
And his shoe
was tied.
Isn't that
amazing?
Uh, yeah.
I guess so.
You know phil and lil
can eat tacos.
Phil [ grunting]:
okay, okay.
Tommy:
shh!
Um!
[ Burps]
Um, okay, angelica
Could you tie my shoe now?
Don't you babies know anything?
You gots to wait an hour
after you eat
Afore you can tie shoes.
It's a rule.
Hey, we did what we said,
angelica.
We gotted you a piece of pie.
Now please tie chuckie's shoe.
Oh, all right.
[ Grumbling]
Whew, now I don't
have to worry
About tying
my shoe again.
[ Yelling]
Ooh!
Ah!
It's untied again!
Hmm.
A bag of cheese curly-qs
Sure would hit the spot
Right about now.
No, no, drew,
you want to cook them
In the middle
of the grill.
I'm telling you, betty,
edge burgers taste best.
[ Grunting]
Come see chuckie
tie his shoes.
Hurry, guys, hurry!
Quit pushing.
Why do I got to tie your shoes
from back here anyway?
'Cause my daddy's coming
and I don't want him to see you.
Hurry!
[ Groans]
There's my little mozart.
Now show uncle stu how you tie
your shoes, chuckie.
I guess he's
a little shy.
Most geniuses are.
Tell me about it.
That's why I work
in the basement.
Come on, let's get
a closer look.
Hurry, angelica.
Hurry, they're coming.
What did I tell you?
He's a little einstein.
Come on, stu,
I want to make sure
Everyone gets a chance
to see the magic.
Now I'm just going
to spend my whole life
Worrying about my shoes
coming untied.
You got to help me, tommy.
Well, okay.
I gots an idea.
I'm still hungry.
But if I go out there,
mommy and daddy
Will make me eat
uncle stu's icky burgers.
Oh, well.
Something will untie finster's
shoes sooner or later.
Or, maybe someone.
No, keep stacking.
Nothing's ever going
to untie my shoes again.
Hey, what was...
[ Screams]
Betty:
these burgers look worse
than stu's.
I didn't think
that was possible.
Charlotte:
since someone
dropped the frittatas...
Hello, pizza palace?
Let's all go inside
And watch my genius
tie his shoes.
Maybe that'll cheer us up.
Stu:
sure, okay.
[ Mumbling while chewing]
Okay, you got the cake
you wanted, angelica.
Now, hurry.
You got to tie my shoes
Afore my daddy gets here!
Hey, I'm eating here,
hold your ponies.
Chaz:
hey, chuckie!
Show us what a good shoe-tier
you are.
[ Yells]
[ Grunting]
Didi:
it's amazing! According to the
lipschitz learning curve
Chuckie's already tying his
shoes at a third-grade level
And could be doing algebra
by the age of four.
Wait till you see.
Come on out, chuckie.
That neurologist in my
inventors' support group
Would be interested
in chuckie.
Betty:
forget the
lab geek, stu.
The chuckster
could make a million
In tv commercials.
Our pups did one
and only crawled.
Those commercial people love
cute, precocious kids.
Did you hear
that, chuckie?
You could be
a tv star!
Wait!
It's me! It's me!
I'm the tv star.
I've been tying chuckie's shoes
the whole time!
It's true, we bought her
the miss carol shoe-tying
Video series, volume one.
She's tied
everything in sight.
Oh, well, I guess chuckie's
not going to be a tv star
Child prodigy after all.
Nope!
I am!
You sure are,
princess.
Why don't you
show everyone
How well you can
tie your shoes.
If you want
to be on tv
You got to get used
to everybody watching you.
Everybody?
Um, the two snakes
is hungry so...
They need tummies.
No, no, that's not it.
Uh, snakes is yummy,
so bite their tummies.
No, that's not it, either.
Wait, I can do it.
I know I can.
Well, little fellow.
Looks like you
didn't know
How to tie your
shoes, after all, huh?
[ Sniffling]
Well, don't worry.
There's lots of other
things you're good at.
You got lots of time
to learn
How to tie
your shoes.
Daddy will still love you, even
if you never learn how to tie.
[ Grumbling]
No.
No.
No.
[ Doorbell buzzes]
Hey, pizza's here.
Why don't we all go get it?
[ Doorbell buzzes;
all talk...]
Betty:
let me help you with that,
stu boy.
Drew, I think angelica
may be encountering
A shoe-tying
potentiality block.
We'll have to enroll her
In miss carol's
shoe-tying empowerment seminar.
I'll make the reservation.
Guess what, honey?
You're going to get
to spend a whole week
Tying shoes with
hissy and sissy.
