Original subtitles

Maybe the world is blind, or just a little unkind.

Don't know.

Seems you can't be sure of anything anymore.

Although you may be lonely, and then one day

you're smiling again.

Every time I turn around, I see the girl that turns

my world around standing there.

Every time I turn around, her spirit's lifting me

right off the ground.

What's gonna be?

Guess we'll just wait and see.

Good.

Anchovies are the best.

Boy!

Brandon is cutting through that pizza like a buzzsaw.

Mario's makes it special for him-- half mushroom,

half kibble.

It sure is taking Henry a long time to get back.

Well, the airport's clear across town.

Maybe he hit some traffic.

I wish he'd hurry up.

I can't wait to meet my second cousin twice removed.

-Where is she removed from? -Toledo.

-What's her name? -Louise.

Here's an old picture of her.

Aww.

She's a skinny little thing.

Hello.

Hi!

Punky, this is your cousin Louise.

Hi. Nice to meet you, Louise.

Hey!

Nice to meet you too.

I'm sorry we're late, but her flight was delayed.

--Yeah.

With me on the plane, it could hardly take off.

It just bounced along the freeway the whole way here.

-Really? -I'm kidding.

Louise, this is my best friend, Cherie.

Hi!

I'm Cherie's grandma.

Hi.

We certainly heard a lot about you.

Well, there's a lot of me to hear about.

Betty!

You know how much I hate anchovies.

Don't panic, Henry.

There's more pizza in the kitchen.

And I ordered a salad for you.

Thank you, my kind woman.

And for your service to the crown, I give you Australia.

Thank you, your weirdness.

Is this your first time in Chicago, Louise?

What do you want to see first?

McDonald University.

I plan to major in French fries.

You know, when Henry showed me your picture, Louise,

I didn't think you'd be so funny.

You look so serious.

Yeah, and you were so skinny.

- You shouldn't tell her that. .

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to say that you're--

Fat? Humongous?

Ready for statehood?

Well--

Hey, relax.

Some people have big noses.

Some people have big ears.

I have a big mouth.

I have a big everything.

Come on, Cherie.

Let's go and show Louise the treehouse.

- OK. -You guys have a treehouse?

-Yeah. -Cool.

Wait a minute.

What?

How far away is it?

It's in the backyard.

In that case, I'd better take a little something for the road.

OK. Let's go!

The girls seem to be hitting it off.

Betty, you know how I hate garbanzo beans.

Well, do like I do.

Just pretend they're wet macadamia nuts.

Henry, have you noticed Louise looks a lot

different than her picture?

Maybe she's put on a pound or two.

Perhaps she's a little big for her age.

She's big for my age.

Maybe you should talk to her about it.

Me?

It's not my place to get into weight discussions

with someone else's child.

But a problem like that shouldn't be ignored.

Overweight children can develop emotional scars.

Well, what should I do?

Call her mother?

Hello.

Who makes your daughter's clothes?

Goodyear?

Now Henry--

Betty, I know you mean well, but I

think you're overreacting.

It appears to me that Louise is a happy, well-adjusted child.

But Henry--

If you don't mind, I'd like to eat my pizza.

Henry--

Betty, the subject is closed.

What's this crunchy topping?

- Kibble.

I'm up.

I'm stuck.

I'll help you.

Remind me to start carrying a crowbar.

This is awesome!

Yoohoo, people!

Guess who's here?

Hello, Margaux.

Greetings, tree dwellers.

Margaux, who slimed you?

Tres amusant.

This happens to be a very old family beauty secret.

It's an avocado mask.

Not bad.

I think it needs a little bit more salsa.

Do I spy a stranger?

This is my cousin Louise.

Hi!

So nice to meet you, Louise.

What's the weight capacity in this treehouse?

Margaux, exactly what does that beauty mask do?

The Kramer Magic Mask opens the skin pores,

draws out impurities, and--

Makes you look like Kermit the Frog.

Now close your eyes and prepare to be dazzled.

OK. Open your eyes!

My gosh, Margaux!

Your nose is gone.

Once a peasant, always a peasant.

Um, anybody want a Twinkie?

Not I. Those things go straight to my hips.

I don't worry about that.

I can't find my hips.

How wonderful that you have a sense of humor

about your disgusting obesity.

Margaux, that's mean.

Yeah.

Was I rude?

Sorry, but we are talking about a very large person.

Hey, no problem.

Relax.

I feel right at home.

Look at this-- you even knew I was coming.

Forgive me, but don't you want to do something about yourself?

There are doctors with machines that can

suck that fat right out of you.

Leave her alone.

She's happy being fat.

Happy being fat?

That's a disgusting thought.

And everyone knows disgusting thoughts can cause pimples.

I better leave immediately!

You better.

Can you believe her?

She sure is a trip.

Louise?

Don't let her get to you, Louise.

Margaux's dream is to make the whole world look like her.

Louise?

Are you OK?

Margaux's right.

I am disgusting. -No you're not.

You're great.

You're terrific.

I am fat.

I'm fat, and I hate it.

Louise, wait!

Just leave me alone.

But we should talk about this.

There is nothing to talk about.

I mean, you guys are pretty.

I'm a planet.

But I thought being a planet didn't bother you.

Cherie!

But she's always making jokes about her weight.

That's because if I don't make jokes, someone else will.

Well, if you're really this unhappy,

maybe you shouldn't eat so much.

Look, I love to eat, but I also hate to be fat.

So I eat to get over feeling bad about being fat,

but that only makes me fatter, which makes me feel worse,

which makes me even more.

I'm so depressed.

I need a Twinkie.

No you don't.

Punky, this problem is bigger than me-- if that's possible.

You're going on a diet, and I guarantee

you'll stick to it this time.

How do you know?

You won't be doing it alone.

I won't?

No.

You'll have a whole team in your corner.

Henry, Mrs. Johnson, Cherie, and I

will all help you lose weight.

Right, Cherie?

-Right. -Right.

Don't forget Brandon!

OK everybody.

Tonight's healthy, low-calorie dinner

starts with tossed green salad.

Next we have no-fat cottage cheese.

And for our delicious main course, mung bean casserole.

I want to thank you everybody

for helping me like this.

No problem, Louise.

We all need to exercise and eat better foods.

You probably won't believe this,

but there was a time when I had a weight problem.

Really?

It started in high school, and I'm expecting

it to end any day now.

- Come on, everybody.

Don't be shy.

Dig in. -You first, Henry.

Very well.

Delicious mung.

Well thank you, Henry.

Now Louise, this is just the start.

When you get home, you'll have to keep on exercising

and watching what you eat.

Will anybody have room for dessert?

I like dessert. Yes.

Of course.

Yes, please.

What is it, Grandma?

- Diced soya cubes. -

Sayonara everyone.

1, 2, 3, 4, leave the fat on the floor.

5, 6, 7, 8, ugly fat is what we hate.

1, 2, 3--

-I'll get it! -I'll get it.

I'll get it.

- Hi. -

Mrs. Wapperman.

Yeah?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Wapperman.

OK, Mrs. Wapperman.

Bye Mrs. Wapperman.

Henry, Mrs. Wapperman says her ceiling just fell in her soup.

Aww.

Too bad. Aww.

We'll have to quit.

It's been six days.

It's time for the big weigh-in.

I have everyone's weight here from last week.

OK.

Can I go first? -Yeah.

Great!

You've lost two pounds. -Yippee!

OK, Henry.

You go next.

All right!

You've lost 1 and 1/2 pounds, Mr. Warnimont.

Fine figure of a man.

My turn.

This I gotta see.

Back off there.

Way to go, Grandma!

You've lost 2 and 1/2 pounds.

- Really? - Yeah.

Good.

I lost a whole pound more than you.

The only reason you lost more is

that your body is softer, more flabby,

whereas mine is muscular.

Everyone knows it's more difficult to lose muscle.

Especially that big one between your ears.

Nice work, Brandon.

You lost 1/2 a pound.

And I've lost 1 pound exactly.

Way to go, kid.

Yeah.

Come on, Louise.

It's your turn.

Scales and I are natural enemies.

Not anymore.

Wait.

Well, how much did she lose?

According to this, Louise has gained 2 pounds.

What?

That can't be right

I don't understand this.

Well now, everyone loses weight at different rates.

That's right.

There were significant differences between us.

Don't get discouraged, Louise.

All I'm gonna get is some sleep.

I'm exhausted.

Thanks, everybody.

Good night.

Good night. Night.

Heard of "Born to be Wild"?

Guess I was just born to be wide.

Brandon, what if it's a burglar?

Thanks a lot, Brandon.

Are you a dog or a mouse?

Hi-yah!

Well, well, well.

This sure explains a lot. -What?

What? Where am I?

Hey, where'd all this food come from?

Louise.

Well, I've heard about this, but I

never thought I'd be a victim.

Punky, I'm a sleep-eater!

-A sleep-eater? -Yeah.

Can you believe I have been eating like this in my sleep?

-No. -No?

- No. .

So maybe I've been cheating just a little.

A little?

It looks like Thanksgiving in here.

We've been knocking ourselves out for you exercising

and eating rabbit food, and the whole time you've been pigging

out like the circus fat lady.

You volunteered to help.

I never made any promises.

We thought you were serious about wanting to lose weight.

I was serious, but I'm weak.

Seriously weak.

The only thing I can't resist is temptation.

Louise, I--

And I don't need a lecture from Miss Perfect, OK?

Louise, I--

Get off my back, all right?

Good night.

Hold it.

Punky, it's easy for you.

You're thin. You're cute.

You're popular.

You don't know what it's like to have real problems.

I've had problems.

I've had some dandies.

And I'll tell you something.

I'd still have those problems if hadn't decided

to do something about them.

I had to find a way to change things.

What way?

I use Punky power.

What's that?

It's a lot of things.

It's believing in myself.

It's never giving up.

It's faith that things are gonna turn out OK.

But most of all, it's knowing that I can do anything

I want if I really try.

-But I don't have Punky power. -No.

You have Louise power, and you can

use it to get what you want.

Usually I just sit on people to get what I want.

Great-- more fat jokes.

Guess we're right back where we started.

Listen, you go ahead and stuff your face.

I'm going to bed.

Good night.

Punky!

Yeah?

Maybe I do have Louise power.

All right!

Saxophone.

18 points.

Wait a minute. "Saxophone" only has one F.

Are you sure?

I think.

There.

Look in that dictionary.

You'll both be surprised.

Guess who's back in town.

Who?

Hi.

Hi.

I know what you're thinking.

It's been four months, and I look even more

humongous than ever, right?

It did occur to me.

But you're forgetting one important thing.

What's that?

Louise power.

All right!

You look great!
