[ Electronic Beeping ]

[ Beeping Continues ]

I'M SO EXCITED, PATTY.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING
AT THE LA COSTA BROCHURE
EVERY DAY FOR TWO MONTHS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE
FINALLY LEAVING TOMORROW.

YEAH. I-I KNOW YOU WANT TO TAKE
YOUR CAR, BUT CAN I DRIVE ?

YEAH. OKAY.
[ Whoosh, Splat ]

OH, NO !

THE MAIL WENT
INTO MY CEREAL.

YEAH. THIS HOUSE
IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

I REALLY NEED THIS VACATION.

MOM, WE'RE
OUT OF PEANUT BUTTER.
LOOKS SO PEACEFUL.

I SAID, WE'RE
OUT OF PEANUT BUTTER !

WELL, DON'T COMPLAIN TO ME; TALK
TO YOUR FATHER. YOU KNOW HE'S
IN CHARGE OF HOUSEHOLD LEGUMES.

THINK YOU CAN GET ME
AT 7:00 TOMORROW MORNING ?

OKAY, 8:00 ?

[ Man ] NO, THE EQUIPMENT
HAS BEEN COMPLETELY OVERHAULED,
I ASSURE YOU.

I DID IT MYSELF. IT'S PACKING
IT UP THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

YOU SEE, IF IT ISN'T DONE RIGHT,
I REALLY CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT
IT'LL GET THERE UNDAMAGED.

[ Headgear Beeps ]
HOLD ON, I LOST THE SUN.

[ Headgear Beeps ]

NO, NO ! I-I'M THRILLED THAT
THE SMITHSONIAN WANTS TO DISPLAY
MY SHRINKING MACHINE !

IT'S JUST THAT I'D
PREFER TO DISMANTLE IT
AND REASSEMBLE IT MYSELF.

I JUST THINK
I'M MORE RESPONSIBLE
THAN MOST PEOPLE.

DAD, WE'RE OUT
OF PEANUT BUTTER. MOM
SAYS YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE.

[ Beeping ]
HELLO ? HELLO ?

OKAY, THEN. IT'S SETTLED.
I-I'LL PACK IT UP THIS WEEKEND,

AND YOUR MOVERS WILL COME
ON MONDAY AND TAKE IT
TO WASHINGTON.

OH, BY THE WAY,
FEEL FREE TO USE IT
TO SHRINK THE NATIONAL DEBT !

[ Headgear Boings ]
HELLO ?

HELLO ?

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT ?
YOUR DAD'S INVENTION IS GONNA
BE IN THE SMITHSONIAN...

ALONGSIDE THE GRAMOPHONE !

WHAT'S A GRAMOPHONE ?
AN EARLY RECORD PLAYER.

WHAT'S A RECORD PLAYER ?

AN EARLY C.D. PLAYER.
WHAT WAS IT YOU WANTED ?

WELL, I WAS MAKIN'
A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY
SANDWICH FOR LUNCH,

AND I CAN'T FIND--

PEANUT BUTTER.
PEANUT BUTTER.

WHERE ARE YOU ?

YOU KNOW, DAD, I WAS
KINDA THINKIN' THAT,

YOU KNOW,
SUMMER'S NOT FAR AWAY.

IT MIGHT BE GOOD FOR ME
TO GO TO BASEBALL CAMP.

DON'T YOU WANT TO GO BACK
TO THAT NEAT SCIENCE CAMP
WE SENT YOU TO ?

CAMP ISOSCELES WAS FUN,
DAD, BUT...

I'VE BEEN THERE NOW
THREE YEARS IN A ROW.

YEAH, BUT THE FOURTH YEAR
IS THE BEST. TRIGONOMETRY ?

AH ! PEANUTS.

THE COFFEE GRINDER
WILL SOLVE OUR PROBLEM.

- [ Grinder Whirring ]
- BUT ALL MY FRIENDS
ARE GOIN' TO BASEBALL CAMP.

BASEBALL'S JUST A TREND.
IT'LL PASS. BUT SCIENCE
IS ALWAYS COOL.

[ Gurgles,
Stops Abruptly ]

- THERE YOU GO.
- IT'S GOT GROUNDS IN IT.

- IT'S DECAF.
- [ Woman ] WAYNE, DON'T YOU
HAVE TO GET TO WORK ?

- I THOUGHT YOU HAD
A BIG PRESENTATION.
- OH, MY GOSH. I GOTTA GO.

SO WHAT ? I THOUGHT
YOU WERE THE PRESIDENT.

I AM THE PRESIDENT.
BUT PRESIDENTS HAVE
LESS FREEDOM THAN ANYBODY.

AND THEY DON'T
HAVE ANY FUN.

TIKI MAN, YOU'VE
SERVED ME WELL.

OH, AND I LIKE THE WAY YOU
MADE IT RAIN YESTERDAY TOO.

WAYNE, I WISH YOU'D GET RID
OF THAT PIECE OF JUNK, TIKI MAN.
SHH. YOU'LL ANGER HIM.

HE TAKES UP SO MUCH ROOM,
AND YOU WON'T EVEN LET US
HANG OUR COATS ON HIM.

HE'S A POLYNESIAN GOD,
NOT A COATRACK, DIANE.

HE BELONGS
IN A MINIATURE GOLF COURSE.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU
BOUGHT HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
TO HAVE FUN ?

WAYNE, YOU ARE SAYING GOOD-BYE
TO MR. TIKI MAN THIS WEEKEND.

I'M SORRY.
BUT THAT'S THAT.

[ Sighs ]

BE COOL. I'LL
THINK OF SOMETHING.

YUCK.

COLD CHOW MEIN FOR LUNCH ?

UH, YEAH. ALL THE KIDS
ARE EATIN' IT.

HEY, MOM. DID NICK
EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT GOING
TO CAMP ISOSCELES ?

HE SURE DID. HE HATED
THAT IT LASTED ONLY SIX
WEEKS INSTEAD OF EIGHT.

WHAT A BRAIN BOX.

MOM. WHAT IF I DIDN'T
WANT TO GO TO A CAMP
NAMED AFTER A TRIANGLE ?

AMY DIDN'T GO TO SCIENCE CAMP.

SHE WENT TO SHAKESPEARE CAMP.
WOULD YOU RATHER DO THAT ?

NO.
WHERE DID ALL THESE BUGS
COME FROM ?

OH ! A DADDY LONGLEGS.

NO, MOM, DON'T KILL IT !
DADDY LONGLEGS ARE GOOD.
THEY EAT OTHER BUGS.

[ Car Horn Honks, Brakes
Screech, Metal Crashes ]
THAT WOULD BE YOUR AUNT PATTY.

HEY, HE'S GONE.

YOU LIVE, FOR NOW.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS.

OH, GOSH.

I'M SORRY.
HI, ADAM.

DIANE, WE HAVE TO TALK.
I'M STILL WORRIED ABOUT
THE KIDS IF WE GO AWAY.

NO. THEY ARE NOT
OLD ENOUGH T-TO
STAY BY THEMSELVES.

AND WHAT IF MITCH
GETS SICK ?
WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS.

IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG,
OUR HUSBANDS WILL BE THERE.
MY POINT EXACTLY.

PATTY, DON'T START WITH ME.
WE BOTH NEED THIS VACATION.

YOU ARE MORE NEUROTIC
THAN EVER.

AND I'VE LOST MY PERSPECTIVE
ON MY MARRIAGE. BESIDES,
THE KIDS ARE OLD ENOUGH.

LOOK AT THEM. THEY'RE LIKE
WELL-BEHAVED LITTLE ADULTS.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.

OH, MAN, I GOT THIS
GREAT STORY, OKAY ?

ONE TIME WE WERE AT THIS
CHINESE RESTAURANT,
AND I SNEEZED.

- AND SIX GRAINS OF RICE
CAME OUT MY NOSE !
- OOH, I'VE ONLY DONE LIQUIDS.

BUT ONCE JENNY DID A PIECE
OF SPAGHETTI. OH, MAN, IT WAS,
LIKE, HANGIN' OUT TO THERE.

SHUT UP ! AT LEAST I'M
NOT SICK 24 HOURS A DAY.

I CAN'T HELP IT IF I HAVE
A POTASSIUM DEFICIENCY.

YEAH, BUT HOW DO YOU
EXPLAIN YOUR I.Q.
DEFICIENCY ?

- SHUT UP !
- HEY, STOP IT !
- [ Adam ] COME ON. GET HER !

- [ Mitch ]
MOM !
- HI.

I BETTER
GET THEM TO SCHOOL.

UH, PATTY.
WHAT'S WITH THE BLOCKS ?

OH, THE CAR WAS MAKING FUNNY
NOISES THIS MORNING, AND
YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL.

I MEAN, WHAT IF
THE PARKING BRAKE WENT ?
I WORRY ABOUT THESE THINGS.

THAT'S WHY
YOU NEED A VACATION.

BECAUSE AT SZALINSKI--

[ Remote Slide Changer
Clicking ]
AT SZALINSKI LABS--

THE-- THE-- THE FUTURE--

[ Clicking Continues ]
AT SZALINSKI LABS,
THE FUTURE...

IS-- THE FUTURE IS--

CRAP. NO !
THE FUTURE ISN'T CRAP.

THE FUTURE... IS NOW !

[ One Person Clapping ]

YES ! THAT WAS
THE PRESIDENT...

AND MY BROTHER,
WAYNE SZALINSKI.

AND WHAT A SPEECH !
MMM ? WOW !

ANYWAY, I'LL BET
YOU'RE ALL HUNGRY.

SO WE HAVE A FULL BUFFET
BRUNCH WAITING FOR YOU
RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS.

EAT ALL YOU WANT !
AND THANKS FOR COMING.

AND DON'T FORGET,
AT SZALINSKI LABS, THE FUTURE...

IS... NOW.

[ Whirring, Clicking ]

AHH. GLAD I CAN
BREATHE AGAIN.

NOTHING LIKE THE SMELL
OF TWO-PART EPOXY RESIN.

WHOO.
MUST BE
AN ACQUIRED TASTE.

HI, MARCIA.
HI, TROUSER.

SAY HI, TROUSER.
[ Dog Barks, Mechanical Voice
Says "Hello, Hello" ]

- "HELLO" ?
- TURNS OUT THAT'S
WHAT "WOOF" MEANS.

[ Dog Barks, Voice Says
"Feed Me, Feed Me" ]

THAT LOOKS PROMISING.
HOW'S PROJECT GREEN
LANTERN COMING ?

[ Clears Throat ]
JUST OKAY.

I'VE RUN INTO SOME PROBLEMS.
BUT IF YOU GIVE ME JUST
A LITTLE MORE TIME,

I THINK I CAN SOLVE THEM...
MAYBE.

ALL RIGHT. WELL,
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
[ Stammers ]

OF COURSE, THE GOAL OF
PROJECT GREEN LANTERN...

WAS TO DECREASE ACCIDENTS TO
HIGHWAY WORKERS AT NIGHT...

BY INCREASING
THEIR VISIBILITY...

THROUGH THE USE
OF INTERNAL FLUORESCENCE.

NOW ALREADY WE'VE
MADE TREMENDOUS STRIDES
IN THE AREA OF LUMINESCENCE.

PUT AWAY THE SNOWBLOWER,
GORDON. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM ?

SEE FOR YOURSELF.

CHEERS.

[ Gagging ]

- IT'S NOT WORKIN'. IT'S
SUPPOSED TO MAKE MY BODY GLOW.
- MM-HMM. OPEN YOUR SHIRT.

[ Stomach Gurgling ]
OH, JIMMY !
IS THAT MY STOMACH ?

MM-HMM.
AND HERE'S MINE.
[ Gurgles ]

THE PROBLEM IS, THE LIQUID
JUST STAYS IN YOUR GUT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WELL, OBVIOUSLY IT'S
NOT GETTING ABSORBED
INTO THE BLOODSTREAM.

- HAVE YOU TRIED GOING
THROUGH THE CALCIUM CHANNEL ?
- THE CALCIUM CHANNEL ?

YEAH, MIX IT WITH MILK.
THAT'LL MAKE IT WORK.
IT'S OBVIOUS.

HEY, I'M NOT WITHOUT IDEAS.

I WAS GONNA SUGGEST MAKING THE
HIGHWAY WORKERS WEAR TUBE TOPS.
[ Chuckles ]

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW
THAT YOU WERE, UH, WORKING.

- WHAT IS IT, TRINA ?
- OH. UH, EARL PARMEN
CALLED...

TO SAY THAT HE HAS TWO V.I.P.
PASSES FOR THE SHUTTLE TOUCHDOWN
LATE TONIGHT...

AT EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE.

- DO YOU WANT THEM ?
- DO WE WANT THEM !

OH, WAIT, WAIT.

ISN'T THERE SOMETHING
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING
THIS WEEKEND ?

NOT THAT I CAN REMEMBER.
I JUST GOTTA CALL DIANE.

FORTY DOLLARS SHOULD BE
ENOUGH FOR PIZZA.

NOW, WHAT ELSE ?

[ Phone Ringing ]

WHO TOOK THE HANDSET ?
WHO TOOK THE HANDSET ?

THE HANDSET ?

[ Answering Machine Clicks On ]

[ Wayne's Voice ] HI, YOU HAVE
REACHED THE SZALINSKI'S.
MACHINE.

PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE OR FAX
OR A BINARY FILE AFTER THE BEEP.
GUESS WHAT ! CHANGE OF PLANS.

GORDON AND I JUST GOT INVITED
TO SEE THE SPACE SHUTTLE
LAND TONIGHT.

- SO IF IT'S OKAY,
WE'RE GONNA TAKE OFF.
- NO, WAYNE. IT IS NOT OKAY.

PATTY AND I ARE GOING
ON VACATION.

I MUST'VE TOLD YOU THIS
15 TIMES. DON'T YOU REMEMBER ?

SURE, I REMEMBERED.
THEN I FORGOT.

WELL, LISTEN TO ME NOW,
WAYNE, AND LISTEN GOOD.

I AM GOING ON THIS VACATION
AND NOTHING...

[ Shouting ]
AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME !

[ Dial Tone ]

YOU DO NEED A VACATION.

[ Exhales ]

I'M SORRY WE'RE LATE.
I HAD TO FIND MITCH'S
MEDICINE.

IS THAT EVERYTHING, THEN ?
ALL SET ?
I HOPE SO.

[ Boys Whispering ]
OKAY. THIS IS IT.

TWO DAYS WITHOUT MOMMIES.

IT WILL BE HARD. IT WILL
BE TOUGH. BUT I HAVE EVERY
CONFIDENCE YOU'LL MAKE IT...

IF YOU FOLLOW THESE RULES.

ONE. DON'T RAID THE
REFRIGERATOR BETWEEN MEALS.

TWO. TAKE YOUR VITAMINS
AFTER DINNER.

THREE. NO ROLLERBLADING
IN THE HOUSE.

FOUR. GET RID OF THE TIKI MAN.
GOT IT ?

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ?
UH, YEAH. CAN I HAVE
SOME FRIENDS OVER ?

- NO.
- COME ON, MOM.
DON'T YOU TRUST ME ?

SAVE IT FOR THE
DEBATING TEAM, JENNY.
THE ANSWER IS STILL NO.

- BUT MOM, I--
- ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ? GOOD.
BYE, KIDS. I LOVE YOU.

HAVE FUN. AND TRY
TO RELAX, DIANE.

YOU TOO. HAVE FUN,
AND TRY TO RELAX.

YOU SURE YOU'RE
GONNA BE OKAY ?
WE'LL BE FINE.

BYE, MOM.
BYE, SWEETIE.
BE CAREFUL, MITCHELL.

WEAR PADS WHEN YOU ROLLERBLADE,
AND DON'T EAT TOO MUCH SUGAR.
IT SPEEDS UP YOUR METABOLISM.

AND, PLEASE, PUT ON A T-SHIRT
UNDER-- UNDER YOUR PAJAMAS
TONIGHT, OKAY ?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST PUT ME
IN A PLASTIC BUBBLE,
WHY DON'T YOU ?

[ Leaf Blower Roaring ]
I FEEL LIKE
I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING.

WHICH REMINDS ME.
ADAM. ADAM !

[ Roaring Increases ]
[ Shouting ]
I JUST DID LAUNDRY...

[ Blower Turns Off ]
SO YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY
OF CLEAN UNDERPANTS !

[ Kids Laughing ]
[ Mitch Laughing ]

- [ Skater ] I BET YOU
THEY HAVE LACE ON 'EM !
- [ Adam ] OH, NO !

- [ Boys Laughing ]
- [ Skater ]
HIDEY-WHITEYS !

[ Sighs ]
NOW WHAT ?

YOU GUYS ARE ALL GUESTS
IN MY HOUSE THIS WEEKEND, AND
I WANT US TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.

SO I PLANNED A LITTLE
KICKOFF SURPRISE.

WE ARE GONNA USE MARSHMALLOWS
AND GUMDROPS...

TO MAKE MODELS
OF WATER MOLECULES !

WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

YOU'RE A MANIAC,
UNCLE WAYNE.

[ Laughs ]
I KNOW.

ANYWAY, WE'RE GONNA PUT 'EM
TOGETHER. OH, DARN.

I FORGOT TO GET TOOTHPICKS.

I'M GONNA NEED YOU GUYS TO RUN
DOWN TO THE MINIMART FOR ME.

HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK
TOOTHPICKS COST ?

OH, ABOUT SIX
OR SEVEN DOLLARS A BOX.

WELL, HERE'S A TEN.

IF THERE'S ANY CHANGE,
GET YOURSELVES SOME SNACKS.

BUT SEE IF YOU CAN GET BACK
WITHIN AN HOUR OR SO, OKAY ?

FOR MOLECULE ACTION.

[ Jenny ]
COME ON, MITCH.
GEE, WAYNE.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU
TO FORGET THE TOOTHPICKS.

WHAT ?
WHAT'S SO FUNNY ?

IT WAS JUST A RUSE
TO GET THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE.

A RUSE ? WHY ?

TO SAVE TIKI MAN.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
DIANE'S MAKING YOU
THROW THIS OUT.

IT'S MINT !
TELL ME ABOUT IT.

I FINALLY FIND SOMETHING
I WANT TO DO WITH MY
MacARTHUR GENIUS GRANT MONEY,

AND MY WIFE VETOES IT.
YOU'VE GOTTA LEARN
HOW TO NEGOTIATE, WAYNE.

I BET I COULD TALK DIANE
INTO LETTING YOU KEEP IT.
I GOT A PLAN.

[ Scraping, Creaking ]
A LITTLE FURTHER.

LITTLE FURTHER.
OH !
WHOA. TILT IT UP.

TILTING UP.
[ Grunting ]

TIP IT.
TIP IT.

GREAT.
[ Grunting ]
GREAT.

[ Panting ]
THAT'S GREAT.
JUST PERFECT.

THE THING'S ONLY
SEVEN FEET TALL.
CALL ME CRAZY.

I THINK DIANE
MIGHT NOTICE THIS.
NOT IF I SHRINK IT.

WOW.

THE MACHINE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL !

YEAH. I GOT IT OUT OF MOTHBALLS
AND POLISHED IT UP
FOR THE SMITHSONIAN.

- I'M GONNA FIRE IT UP.
- RIGHT. WHAT ?

OH, NO. NO, NO !
YOU'RE NOT GONNA
ST-START IT UP AGAIN ?

- [ Switches Clicking,
Controls Beeping ]
- YOU CAN'T START IT UP AGAIN !

YOU WERE BANNED FROM USING
THIS BY A JOINT COMMITTEE
OF THE F.D.A. AND YOUR WIFE.

IS THE F.D.A. HERE ?
IS MY WIFE HERE ?
I'VE MADE UP MY MIND.

I'M GONNA SHRINK THAT
TIKI MAN SO I CAN CARRY IT
WITH ME ALWAYS.

BESIDES,
IT'S A POINT OF HONOR !

DO YOU THINK A WEEKEND
CAN TAKE CARE OF SEVEN YEARS
OF WAXY EMOTIONAL BUILDUP ?

YOU POOR THING.
WELL, YOU'RE ON THE ROAD
TO RECOVERY NOW.

[ Chuckles ]
OH !
AND, FOR THE TRIP...

I BROUGHT ALONG
A SPECIAL FRIEND TO AID
IN THE HEALING PROCESS.

DR. BROTHER LOVE HIMSELF.
MR. NEIL DIAMOND !

GET OUT OF HERE !
YOU BROUGHT THE "HOT
AUGUST NIGHTS" CASSETTE ?

- I DID !
- GOD !
[ Laughs ]

[ Gasps ]
OH, NO !

I FORGOT TO LEAVE MITCH'S
MEDICINE. WE'VE GOTTA GO BACK.

[ Sighs ]

[ Hissing, Bleeping ]

GORDON !
I CAN SEE YOUR LEFT LEG.
HUH ?

COME ON OVER HERE AND HELP ME.
LET ME KNOW WHEN WE
HIT CRITICAL MASS.

OKAY, BRO. HERE IT COMES.
YOU'RE SETTING UP ?

THIS IS WHY I WANTED THE KIDS
OUT OF THE HOUSE. I DON'T WANT
TO TAKE ANY CHANCES.

SIXTY PERCENT.

EIGHTY PERCENT.

- NINETY PERCENT.
- COME ON, SHRINK MACHINE.
ONE MORE TIME.

WE HAVE CRITICAL MASS.

[ Zapping ]

IT WORKED !
IT MUST HAVE.

COME ON.
LET'S GO FIND IT.

[ Together ]
MAGNIFYING GLASS.

DO YOU SEE IT ?
NO. START AT THE SIDES AND
I'LL MEET YOU IN THE MIDDLE.

[ Machine Beeping ]

SOUNDS LIKE THE MACHINE
IS REVVING UP AGAIN.

AH, DON'T WORRY.
THERE'S NOBODY IN THE HOUSE
TO HIT THE BUTTON.

CAN YOU SEE IT ?
HUH ?

- WHAT'S THAT ?
- [ Beeping Increases ]

[ Gordon ]
LOOK, LOOK ! HERE IT IS.
THAT'S JUST A SPECK.

WAYNE, IS THAT IT ?
NO.

WHAT'S THAT ?
THAT'S IT !

THERE IT IS !
HUH ?

WOW.
A TINY TIKI !

[ Machine Revving ]
WAYNE,
YOU'RE A GENIUS.

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS APPRECIATED
THE SCIENTIFIC USE
OF THAT MACHINE,

BUT NEVER ITS
MARITAL IMPLICATIONS.
[ Laughs ]

[ Beeping Rapidly ]

[ Ball Clunks ]
[ Machine Zapping ]

HUH ?
AWW.
IT DIDN'T WORK.

IT GREW BACK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
WENT WRONG ?
I DON'T KNOW.

SOMETIMES
THE INDUCTION SEQUENCE--

[ Screaming ]

HELLO ?
HELLO ?

ANYBODY HERE ? STRANGE.
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.

WAYNE GOT RID OF THE TIKI MAN.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT !
[ Chuckles ]

SEE ? YOU SAY HE DOESN'T
LISTEN TO YOU. THINGS ARE
GETTING BETTER ALREADY.

OKAY. I'LL LEAVE IT.
I'LL JUST PUT IT RIGHT HERE.

AND THEN THEY'LL
BE SURE TO SEE THEM.
GOOD.

OKAY.

[ Machine Revving ]
OH, LISTEN.

THE BOYS MUST BE WORKING
UPSTAIRS.

LET'S GO SEE WHAT THEY DO
AS SOON AS WE LEAVE !
[ Laughs ]

YOU SHRUNK US ?
YOU IDIOT !
I'M SORRY.

I'LL KILL YOU.
THAT HURTS, GORDON !

OHH, DOES IT HURT ?
DOES THAT HURT ?
YEAH !

THAT HURTS !
NOT AS MUCH
AS THIS !

AAH. I CAN EXPLAIN !
YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN !
NOTHING--

SHH !
GUYS ?

[ Whispers ]
THE WIVES !

HEY,
WHERE ARE THEY ?
GUYS ?

WE'RE IN BIG TROUBLE !
WHY ? THEY CAN'T
FIND US TO YELL AT US.

BUT THEY CAN
STEP ON US !

- BOYS ?
- [ Footsteps Thundering ]

[ Yelping ]

WELL, THEY GOTTA BE HERE
SOMEWHERE.
NO PLACE TO HIDE.

- [ Shuddering ]
- THIS THING IS ON.

DON'T BE SILLY. A JOINT
COMMITTEE OF THE F.D.A.
AND MYSELF HAVE TOLD WAYNE...

THAT HE IS NEVER TO USE
THE SHRINKING MACHINE FOR THE
REST OF HIS NATURAL LIFE.

- [ Patty ] OH, YEAH. I'M SURE.
- BESIDES, HE TOLD ME IT DOESN'T
EVEN WORK ANYMORE.

WAYNE KNOWS HE'S FORBIDDEN
TO EVER TOUCH THAT THING AGAIN.

[ Machine Beeping ]

[ Zapping ]

DIANE, WHAT'S GOING ON
HERE ?

[ Gasps ]
[ Whimpers ]

DIANE !
HI !

DIANE, SOMETHING
HAPPENED--
WAYNE.

YES.
ARE WE SHRUNK ?

I'M NOT GONNA LIE
TO YOU. YES, WE ARE.
I WAS AT THE MACHINE,

AND I WAS JUST--
[ Thud ]

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN ?

[ Chuckling Awkwardly ]
WELL, IT'S SORT OF
A FUNNY STORY. WE--

AND WHAT IS THAT TIKI
THING DOING HERE ?

WELL--
"TIKI THING" ?

[ Laughs ]
OH, I GET IT.

YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD
OUTSMART ME, WAYNE.

YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD JUST
SHRINK THE TIKI MAN DOWN,
AND I WOULDN'T NOTICE.

WELL, GUESS WHAT, WAYNE ?

[ Screeching ]
I NOTICED !

NOW, DIANE. CALM DOWN.

CALM DOWN ? I AM
SMALLER THAN A RAISIN !
DIANE.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT THIS
WITH A MODICUM OF
HINDSIGHT, YOU--

OH, STOP TRYING TO USE
YOUR INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
TO SMOOTH THINGS OVER !

HE'S DRAGGED US INTO IT TOO.
CAN I JUST SAY SOMETHING ?
THIS DOESN'T NORMALLY HAPPEN.

NO, YOU CANNOT
SAY ANYTHING !
[ All Arguing At Once ]

[ Whistles ]
PEOPLE, PLEASE ! COULD WE
ARGUE SOMEWHERE ELSE ?

I DON'T THINK IT'S REAL SAFE
HERE ON THE FLOOR.
THAT'S TRUE.

WE'VE GOTTA GET AWAY FROM
THE SHOES AND THE COCKROACHES.
THE SHOES ?

COCKROACHES ? THERE
ARE COCKROACHES HERE ?
WELL, IT'S AN ATTIC !

I HATE COCKROACHES.
THAT'S JUST REGULAR-SIZED
COCKROACHES,

NOT COCKROACHES
THE SIZE OF SOFAS !
SOFAS ?

I BET IF WE CLIMB UP THAT
WICKER CHAIR, WE CAN GET
TO THE WINDOWSILL.

OKAY, GREAT ! LET'S GET GOIN',
'CAUSE IT'S GONNA TAKE
A LONG TIME.

DIANE. ARE YOU GONNA STAY MAD
AT ME THE WHOLE TIME WE'RE TINY,

OR ARE YOU GONNA TRY
AND MAKE THE BEST
OUT OF A BAD SITUATION ?

[ Sighs Deeply ]
I'M GONNA STAY MAD
AT YOU THE WHOLE TIME.

OKAY.

[ All Grunting ]

[ Wayne ]
COME ON.
[ All Panting ]

YES. YES !
I MADE IT.

OH, GORDON,
YOU ARE SO BUFF.
HEY, PATTY !

HANG IN THERE !
YOU'RE DOIN' GREAT.
[ Whimpering ]

NO. NO, GORDON.

"GREAT" WOULD BE
IF I WERE IN LA COSTA.

I'M DOING THE
OPPOSITE OF GREAT.
I'M DOING SUCKY.

HONEY, AT LEAST YOU'RE
GETTING SOME EXERCISE.

YEAH. NOW THAT I HAVE
A WICKER CHAIR, I DON'T
HAVE TO GO TO THE GYM ANYMORE.

[ Laughs ]

COME ON, GOOD.
YOU GOT IT.

YOU GOT IT. OKAY !
HARD PART'S OVER.
UH-HUH.

NOW. ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS WALK ACROSS THIS...

FOOTBRIDGE.

GORDON, THAT
IS NOT A FOOTBRIDGE.
IT'S A STICK.

TO YOU, MAYBE.
TO GORDON SZALINSKI,
IT'S A HIGHWAY TO BIGNESS.

SEE ? I'M WALKING
ACROSS THE FOOTBRIDGE.

I'M NOT LOOKING DOWN.

BUT I AM... A CAT.

I AM A PANTHER.

I AM SCARED STIFF.

[ Grunts ]

OHH.

EH ? TAH-DAH !
OKAY.

OKAY, FOLLOW ME.

AND I JUST PICKED IT UP
IN A HARDWARE STORE. BUT IT
HAS PERFORMED BETTER IN MY...

WIND TUNNEL TESTS
THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
LOOK, YOU
CAN SEE THE DRIVEWAY FROM HERE.

[ Patty ]
THERE'S MY CAR.

HEY. HEY, THE KIDS WILL
SEE IT AND KNOW WE'RE HERE.

THAT'S RIGHT. THEY'RE SMART.
THEY'LL FIGURE IT OUT.
SO WE'RE SAVED.

YES ! I TOLD YOU
WE-- THANKS !
[ Laughing ]

[ Thud ]

WE FORGOT TO PUT
THE BLOCKS IN.

I KNEW I HEARD A NOISE.
[ Groans ]

YOU SHOULD HAVE THOSE
BRAKES LOOKED AT.

HEY, ADAM. DO YOU THINK
YOUR DAD'LL LET US ROAST
THOSE MOLECULES...

WHEN WE'RE
DONE WITH THEM ?

THAT IS SO LAME.

I'M TRYING TO WORK
WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT.

WHAT WE'VE GOT IS A WEEKEND
IN DULLSVILLE.

DAD ? UNCLE WAYNE ?

UH, UH, UH !
NO ROLLERBLADING
IN THE HOUSE.

YOU'RE NOT MY MOM.
THAT'S RIGHT. 'CAUSE IF I WERE,
YOU WOULD BE UP FOR ADOPTION.

TAKE OFF YOUR ROLLERBLADES.
[ Laughs ]

DAD !
UNCLE GORDON !

THEY DON'T SEEM
TO BE HERE.

THAT'S WEIRD. I GOTTA
MAKE A PHONE CALL.

OH, HEY, LOOK.
MUST'VE LEFT A MESSAGE.
[ Tape Rewinding ]

[ Wayne On Tape ]
GUESS WHAT !
CHANGE OF PLANS.

GORDON AND I JUST GOT INVITED
TO SEE THE SPACE SHUTTLE
LAND TONIGHT.

SO IF IT'S OKAY,
WE'RE GONNA TAKE OFF.
"IF THAT'S OKAY" ?

THEY WOULDN'T
JUST TAKE OFF.

[ Tape Beeps ]
OH, HEY, LOOK !

FORTY DOLLARS FOR PIZZA !

THEY MUST REALLY
BE GONE, THEN.
YEAH. SO WHAT NOW ?

OF COURSE, AS SOON AS
THE KIDS REALIZE WE'RE GONE,
THEY'LL BE VERY UPSET.

[ All Cheering ]

YEAH. AND I'M SURE THEIR
FIRST THOUGHT WILL BE, "GEE,
I BET OUR PARENTS ARE SHRUNK."

YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.
AND THERE'S NO REASON
FOR THEM TO COME UP HERE,

SO WE GOTTA GET TO THEM.

WELL, HOW ? WE'LL NEVER
GET DOWN THE STAIRS ALIVE.

WELL, THE FASTEST WAY IS
TO GO STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW
AND INTO ADAM'S ROOM.

YOU KNOW WHAT WE COULD DO ?
GORDON, I'M THE INVENTOR HERE.
CAN I FIGURE THIS OUT ?

THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN
TWO POINTS IS A STRAIGHT LINE.

IF I HAD SOME SORT OF CABLE,

A PULLEY SYSTEM THAT I COULD
USE TO TRANSPORT US DOWN.

BUT WHAT COULD IT BE ? IF I
HAD SOME SORT OF MINIZEPPELIN.
WAYNE.

- OR A PNEUMATIC DEVICE.
- WAYNE ?

OR JET PACKS POWERED BY AN
ISOTOPE-BASED THRUSTER SYSTEM !

- [ Shouting ]
WAYNE !
- WHAT ?

HOW ABOUT... SOMETHING
LIKE A FISHING REEL ?

THAT WOULD WORK.

I'M GONNA INVITE
ALL MY FRIENDS OVER.

I'M GONNA EAT
ANYTHING I WANT.
I'M NOT GONNA TAKE MY VITAMINS.

I AM GONNA PLAY MY MUSIC
REALLY LOUD.
I'M NOT GONNA WEAR ANY SOCKS.

AND I'M GONNA
BLEACH MY HAIR.

OKAY. LOOK. WE CAN
ALL DO WHATEVER WE WANT.

BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE
A PACT THIS WEEKEND.

NO MATTER WHAT,
OUR PARENTS CAN
NEVER FIND OUT.

PROMISE ?
[ Together ]
PROMISE.

[ Clicking ]

[ Panting ]
GORDON, I'M FREAKING.

SHH. IT'S OKAY, SWEETHEART.
IT'S ALMOST OVER.
[ Whimpers ]

[ Clicking Continues ]

- [ Whipping Sound ]
- [ Gasping, Screaming ]

[ Gordon ]
HANG ON !

[ Moaning ]

SO FAR, SO GOOD.

SO I'M AT MY UNCLE'S HOUSE
ON ECHO LANE.

YES, THE ONE
WITH THE WEIRDO MAILBOX.

SO, GUESS WHAT ?

MY PARENTS ARE OUT OF TOWN
FOR A WHOLE WEEKEND AND WE HAVE
THE HOUSE ALL TO OURSELVES.

SO I THINK I'M GONNA
THROW A PARTY.
[ Girl Screams ]

OH, MY GOSH ! A PARTY ?
WAIT 'TIL YOU SEE
WHAT I'M GONNA WEAR !

[ Patty Laughs ]
THERE WE GO.

WHERE ARE WE ?
THIS IS
ADAM'S ROOM.

THIS IS THE TOP
OF HIS CHEST OF DRAWERS.
WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.

OH, COME ON, PATTY.
IT WON'T BE THAT BAD.

I MEAN, WE'LL HAVE TO FIND
A SHOE TO LIVE IN.

BUT THE KIDS ARE MESSY EATERS.
THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF CRUMBS
FOR US TO EAT.

WAYNE, WE'RE NOT GONNA SPEND
THE REST OF OUR LIVES TINY.
WE'RE GOING TO GET BIG AGAIN.

SOMEHOW. SOME WAY.
WE'LL GET OUR KIDS'
ATTENTION.

HOW ? THEY HARDLY LISTEN
TO US WHEN WE'RE FULL-SIZED.
NOW IT'LL BE IMPOSSIBLE.

UNLESS... WE CAN MAKE
OUR VOICES FULL-SIZED !

WELL, THERE'S GOTTA BE
A WAY ! LIKE, DOES
ADAM HAVE A BULLHORN ?

OR A KARAOKE MACHINE ?
NO.

HEY, I GOT IT ! I CAN
REWIRE THE STEREO SO WE CAN
TALK THROUGH THE SPEAKERS.

THAT WOULD AMPLIFY OUR
VOICES A HUNDRED TIMES !
AND THAT'LL WORK ?

SURE. JUST SLIP IN THROUGH
THE VENT OF THE RECEIVER
AND HOT-WIRE THE CIRCUITS.

YEE-HAH !
WE HAVE A PLAN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, DIANE ?

IT'S A PLAN.

[ Grinding ]
YEAH. HEY. HEY,
THIS ONE'S DONE.

THIS ONE'S DONE.
RIGHT.
[ Machine Turns Off ]

HEY, HOW COME THERE'S
NO INSTRUCTIONS FOR A BALLOON
FULL OF CHILI ?

[ Laughs ]

OKAY, BE HERE AT 6:00,
READY TO DANCE. OKAY ?
BYE.

ALL SET. JODY, HOLLY,
AND CORKY ARE COMING
FOR DINNER TONIGHT.

AND THEY'RE NOT LEAVING
UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING.

WAIT A SECOND.
YOU'RE HAVING A SLEEP-OVER ?

AFTER WHAT MOM SAID ?
SHE'LL KILL YOU.

MOM'S NOT GONNA FIND OUT.
REMEMBER OUR LITTLE PROMISE ?

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME
FOR A SECOND, I HAVE
SOME SHOPPING TO DO.

[ Microwave Hissing, Beeping ]

[ Bubbling ]
GEE !
OH, MAN !

[ Gasps ]

WOW !
ADAM'S SHARKRUISER.

IT'S PERFECT.
[ Gordon ]
WOW. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

WAIT 'TILL YOU SEE THIS.
I GAVE IT TO HIM
FOR CHRISTMAS.

[ Wayne Chuckling ]
[ Gordon ]
THIS IS INCREDIBLE !

LOOK AT THIS
DETAIL !

[ Adam ]
* GREAT GREEN GOBS OF GREASY
[ All Shouting ]

* GRIMY GOPHER GUTS

* MUTILATED MONKEY MEAT
DIRTY LITTLE BIRDIE FEET *

* FRENCH FRIED EYEBALLS
SWIMMIN' IN A POOL OF BLOOD *

ADAM !
- * ME WITHOUT MY SPOON

* BUT I'VE GOT A STRAW *
[ Parents Yelling Faintly ]

ADAM !

[ Sighs ]
WELL.

I THINK WE JUST WITNESSED
THE PRIVATE WORLD OF A CHILD.

WHERE DID HE LEARN
THAT DISGUSTING SONG ?

OH, WHO KNOWS WHERE KIDS
PICK THESE THINGS UP ?

OH, SURE. JUST LAST WEEK
MITCH SANG THE EXACT--

OKAY, GUYS.
HOP IN.

[ Patty ] WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
GOING DOWN THE HALL
THE QUICKEST WAY POSSIBLE.

I THINK WE CAN
WIGGLE OUR WAY
OFF THE EDGE.

ARE YOU INSANE ?
WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHERE THIS TRACK LEADS.

ADAM'S ALWAYS SENDING
HIS HOT WHEELS OUT
INTO THE HALL.

YEAH. STILL.
BUT TH-THAT LOOP-THE-LOOP
DOESN'T LOOK SAFE TO ME.

WITH OUR WEIGHT AND VELOCITY,
I DON'T THINK IT
WOULD BE A PROBLEM

SO. ARE WE WILLING
TO GIVE IT A SHOT ?

HOLD ON A MINUTE.
GONNA BE SAFE ABOUT THIS.

THIS SHOULD WORK.

ALL RIGHT. JUST TO BE SAFE,
I WANT US TO STRAP OURSELVES IN
WITH THESE ORTHODONTURE BANDS.

WE'RE ALL HERE.
HERE.

WAYNE, DIANE ?
WOULD YOU HOLD THIS
FOR ME, PLEASE ?

YES.
TOO BAD ADAM WASN'T PLAYIN'
WITH THE SPLITTIN' IMAGE, HUH ?

THAT WAS CHERRY.
YEAH. BUT THE TWIN MILL
WAS THE FASTEST. REMEMBER ?

YOU BET. EVERYBODY
STRAPPED IN ?
VROOM. VROOM.

YEAH.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S START ROCKIN'.

AND GO !
[ Grunting ]

[ Wayne ]
COME ON !

[ All Yelling ]

I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING.
THE SHARKRUISER IS
TERRIBLE IN THE LOOP !

[ All Screaming ]

[ All Laughing ]

WHOA !

[ Yelping, Screaming ]

LOOK OUT AHEAD !

HOLD ON !
IT'S A JUMP !

[ All Screaming ]

[ Thud ]

WAYNE. WHERE'S WAYNE ?

HONEY ? I DON'T
THINK WE'RE USING
ENOUGH FABRIC SOFTENER.

AH, THE HOT DOG PEOPLE
HAVE A QUESTION.

THEY WANT TO KNOW
WHY THEY ARE SITTING
AT THE BASE OF A VOLCANO.

JUST TELL THEM
IT'S FOR FLAVOR.
IT'S FOR FLAVOR.

OH, THE HOT DOG LADY
HAS A BABY.

[ Talking Baby Talk ]
LITTLE BABY.
YES, YOU ARE.

- [ Volcano Spurting ]
- OH, NO ! THE GODS ARE GETTING
RESTLESS AND HUNGRY !

THE VILLAGE PEOPLE
FORGOT TO MAKE A SACRIFICE !
NOW THEY MUST BECOME SNACKS !

- [ Laughs ]
- BEHOLD MY WRATH !

[ Balloon Bursting ]

AAH !
OH !
[ Laughs ]

- [ Mitch Exclaiming ]
- IT'S WORKING !

[ Gurgling, Spurting ]
[ Mitch ]
ALL RIGHT !

OH, NO !
WE'RE BURNING UP.

NOTHING CAN SAVE US
FROM THE VORTEX OF CHILI !

HA-HA !
I'LL SAVE THE BABY !
I'LL SAVE THE BABY !

SAVE THE BABY.
OHH.

I'M GONNA EAT
THE WOMAN'S LEG.

MMM.
LAVA-LICIOUS.
LAVA-LICIOUS.

[ Signal Beeping ]

SHE YELLS AT ME
EVEN WHEN SHE'S GONE.

THAT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING
RIDE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.

I NEVER WANT TO GO THROUGH
ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN.

[ Grunts ]
[ Yelps ]

[ Basket Thuds ]

YOU KNOW, WOULDN'T IT BE COOL
IF OUR PARENTS NEVER CAME BACK ?

- [ Mitch ]
DO YOU THINK IT COULD HAPPEN ?
- NO, I'M JUST SAYING WHAT IF.

YEAH. WELL, I DON'T
THINK I'D MISS THEM
THAT MUCH.

I MEAN, I LIKE IT
WHEN THEY TAKE ME PLACES.

AND I SORT OF WISH MY MOM
WAS HERE TO, UH, CLEAN UP
THE MESS IN THE KITCHEN.

WHAT, AM I YOUR SERVANT ?
[ Yelps ]

YEAH. YOU KNOW, MOSTLY
PARENTS JUST LIVE TO NAG
AND HASSLE YOU.

THEY JUST WANT TO TURN YOU INTO
A BRAIN BOX LIKE MY DAD.

BRAIN BOX ! OH !
IT'S A COMPLIMENT.

I BET MY PARENTS WISH I DIDN'T
HAVE A MEDICAL PROBLEM.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE, ANYWAY ?

[ Moaning ]
DIANE, DIANE !
DON'T DO THAT !

YOU DON'T SEEM THAT SICK.
IT'S CALLED
HYPOKALEMIC PARALYSIS.

IT'S A GENETIC THING.
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

BUT IT'S NOT THAT BIG A DEAL.
I MEAN, I HAVEN'T EVEN
TAKEN MY MEDICINE TODAY,

AND I FEEL FINE;
I PROBABLY DON'T
EVEN NEED IT ANYMORE.

OH, MY GOD.
WHAT'S HE SAYING ?

DO YOU THINK HE DIDN'T SEE
WHERE WE PUT THE MEDICINE ?

- HERE. JUST DROP IT HERE.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
- [ All Screaming ]

OH ! I'M SO NAUSEOUS.

YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING
SUPER, SUPER AWESOME ?
SURE.

[ Patty ]
WE'RE RIGHT BACK
WHERE WE STARTED FROM.

[ Gordon ]
I FELL DOWN AND BROKE MY CROWN.
THAT WAS FUN.

IT'S MEGASECRET, OKAY ?
IF MY DAD FOUND OUT I HAD THIS,
HE'D GO BALLISTIC.

[ Mitch ]
WHAT IS IT ?
[ Whispering ] HERE IT IS.

OHH ! MY GOSH.
[ Giggles ]

OH, CHECK IT OUT.

[ Mitch ]
THAT'S RAD !
LOOK AT THAT !

[ Mitch ]
OH, MY.
[ Adam ] OH, YES !

[ Together ]
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS ?
WE ARE SO SORRY !

OH ! SORRY.

YOU BOYS ARE IN BIG TROUBLE.

I'M GONE FOR ONE MINUTE
AND YOU TURN THE PLACE
INTO A PIGSTY !

OHH. WE'RE SORTING LAUNDRY !

NOW, GET DOWN HERE AND
CLEAN IT UP, 'CAUSE WE GOTTA
GET READY FOR THE PARTY !

PARTY ? YOU
CAN'T HAVE A PARTY.
I SAID NO FRIENDS !

COME ON. WE BETTER GET
DOWN THERE BEFORE QUEEN
HELL JENNY GETS REALLY MAD.

HEY ! OOH.

- WE'LL LOOK AT THIS LATER.
- [ Magazine Thuds ]

WAYNE, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING ?

DIANE, I HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE.

I DIDN'T SEE THIS
COMING.

THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS
MADE SUCH A MESS.

WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT,
ANYWAY ?

IT WAS HIS FAULT.
NO, IT WAS HIM.

NO !
HE GAVE ME--
[ Doorbell Ringing ]

GO GET THE DOOR,
YOU GUYS.

AND IF YOU THINK YOU ARE DONE
CLEANING UP, YOU ARE CRAZY.
[ Sighs ]

WHO ARE YOU ?
HOLLY.

HI. DID YOU
BRING THE STUFF ?

YEAH. I GOT THE C.D.s,
THE SOUR CREAM AND MY
DAD'S BUBBLE MACHINE.

A BUBBLE MACHINE ?
YEAH. IT'S
THE COOLEST THING.

THE BUBBLES WILL GO GREAT
WITH THE STREAMERS.
OKAY. YOU'RE THE CHEERLEADER.

NOW LET'S GET READY
TO PARTY.

[ Giggling ]

[ Bubble Machine Gurgling ]

[ Doorbell Rings ]
THEY'RE HERE.

THAT'S ENOUGH CLOWNING
AROUND, YOU GUYS.

THE PARTY'S JUST ABOUT

YOU GUYS ARE GONNA
SERVE THE GINGER ALE.

[ All Chattering ]

UM, JENNY ?
WHAT ?

WE CHANGED OUR MINDS,
SO WE'LL BE YOUR SLAVES.

GREAT.

WE WILL ?
YES.

YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A TIME
WHEN I THOUGHT THIS HOUSE
WAS TOO SMALL.

WHEN I GET BIG,
I'M GONNA WALK DOWN STAIRS
TWO AT A TIME.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND.
IT'S A PIECE OF A PIN.

I GOTTA STOP AND EXAMINE MORE
THINGS. I MEAN, LOOK AT THE
GRAIN IN THIS HARDWOOD FLOOR.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT ALMOST TELLS THE STORY
OF HOW THE WHOLE TREE GREW.

I GOTTA TAKE THE TIME
TO APPRECIATE THE WORLD
AROUND ME.

I'VE BEEN WORKIN' TOO
HARD. I'VE GOTTA STOP
AND NOTICE THINGS.

REALLY ? LIKE WHAT ?

WELL, LIKE--
LIKE THE INTRICATE WEAVE
OF THIS CARPET.

OR THE PERFECT CYLINDRICAL
QUALITY OF THIS ROACH TURD.

- [ Diane ] ROACH TURD !
- [ Gordon ] WHAT ?
- NOT TO WORRY.

SEE ? IT'S DRY.
WHOEVER DROPPED THIS
LEFT A LONG TIME AGO.

MAYBE WEEKS OR MONTHS.
WE VACUUM
MORE THAN THAT.

NO, THE ONLY THING YOU GOTTA
WORRY ABOUT IS IF WE RAN INTO...

[ Squish ]
OOOH !

[ Clicking Sound ]

[ Moaning ]

[ All Screaming ]

[ Clicking, Hissing ]

QUICK, UH--
GET ON THE OTHER SIDE !

LET'S HEAD FOR THE STAIRS.
FORGET IT ! THAT THING'S
FASTER THAN WE'LL EVER BE.

[ Clicking ]
WHAT'S TO DO ?

FOLLOW ME.
I GOT AN IDEA !

[ Patty ]
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.
[ Clicking ]

[ Coughs ]
OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD.

WAYNE, HOW DID YOU
KNOW THAT THERE WAS
A CLEAR PATH HERE ?

OH, I'VE TAKEN
THESE THINGS APART.

[ Hissing ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Hissing ]

[ Shuddering ]

[ All Laughing ]
WE DID IT !

HUH ?
SZALINSKIS CHECK IN ?

AND THEY DO
CHECK OUT !

RICKY KING MAY BE CUTE,
BUT HE'S ALSO REALLY
CONCEITED.

BUT HE'S ALSO REALLY CUTE.

JENNY, TRUTH OR DARE.
DO YOU LOVE RICKY KING ?

[ Girls Laugh ]
DARE.

[ Gasps ]

THEN YOUR DARE IS, YOU HAVE TO
CALL RICKY UP AND TELL HIM
YOU THINK HE'S CUTE !

[ Girls Squealing,
Chattering ]

NO WAY !
I EVEN HAVE
HIS NUMBER.

YOU HAVE TO. YOU HAVE TO !

HI, RICKY ?
SHH.

THIS IS JENNY SZALINSKI.

OH, I'M JUST HAVING A PARTY
WITH SOME OF MY FRIENDS
AT MY UNCLE'S HOUSE.

YEAH. THE ONE
WITH THE WEIRDO MAILBOX.

LISTEN, UM,
I JUST CALLED TO TELL YOU--

THE REASON I WAS CALLING YOU--

WE'LL BE... RIGHT BACK.

[ All Giggling ]

[ Girl ]
OH, MY GOD.
ADAM ! ADAM, WAIT UP.

I HAVE TO GO UPSTAIRS
FOR A SECOND.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

WATCH OUT !
HERE COMES YOUR SON.

[ Moaning ]

[ Patty ]
HI, HONEY.
[ Gordon ] HEY, MITCHY !

HONEY. HONEY !
[ Mitch Crying ]

HE'S IN PAIN.
WHAT'S WRONG ?

IF HE DOESN'T GET SOME POTASSIUM
IN HIS SYSTEM RIGHT AWAY,
HE COULD PASS OUT !

WE'VE GOTTA GET DOWNSTAIRS TO
THE KITCHEN AND GET THOSE PILLS.

[ Girls Chattering ]

[ Clears Throat ]

DON'T WORRY, SWEETHEART.
MOMMY'S RIGHT HERE.
SHE'S RIGHT HERE.

WE'VE GOTTA GET DOWNSTAIRS,
AND FAST.

GEEZ. THAT DOESN'T LOOK SAFE.
THERE'S NO OTHER WAY DOWN,
IS THERE, WAYNE ?

WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY THE FASTEST
ROUTE, AND IT'S THE SAME BASIC
CONCEPT AS A PARACHUTE.

IF WE STAND IN FRONT
OF THE NOZZLE AS THE BUBBLE'S
BEING CREATED,

I THINK THE SURFACE TENSION
SHOULD HOLD OUR WEIGHT.
SHOULD ? I DON'T LIKE "SHOULD."

IT'S DECIDED.
I'M GOING.
I'M GOING WITH YOU, PATTY.

WELL, THEN WE'LL HEAD
TO THE STEREO AND MEET UP
WITH YOU LATER.

ARE YOU GONNA BE OKAY
DOING THIS ?

I KNOW I'VE NEVER BEEN
A VERY BRAVE PERSON.

BUT FOR SOME REASON,
RIGHT NOW I DON'T KNOW FEAR.

WHEN I THOUGHT THE COCKROACH
WAS GONNA EAT YOU,

I'VE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED
IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU,
DIANE, AND I PROMISE THINGS
ARE GONNA GET BETTER.

OH, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GLAD
I AM TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT.

I LOVE EVERYTHING
ABOUT YOU TOO.

YOU MUST BE, UM,
THIS TALL TO STAY DOWNSTAIRS.

IS GETTING WAY OUT OF HAND.

WHO DOES HE THINK
HE IS ? YOU CAN'T PUSH
MY KID AROUND LIKE THAT !

YOU ARE DEAD MEAT, MISTER !
GORDON. YOU'RE 3/4" TALL.
NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

NOW HELP ME
WITH THIS FOIL !

WHY ISN'T HE
COMING AFTER US ?
I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE HE'S GONE.

OH, LOOK, HIS LEG IS CAUGHT
IN THE SPIDER WEB.

OH, THAT'S SO SAD.
AND DADDY LONGLEGS
ARE GOOD BUGS.

THEY EAT MOSQUITOES
AND LEAVE HUMANS
ENTIRELY ALONE.

WHAT ? IS THERE A DADDY
LONGLEGS AD COUNCIL THAT FEEDS
OUT THIS POSITIVE INFORMATION ?

LET'S GO.
NO, DIANE. I THINK
WE SHOULD HELP HIM.

[ Chirping, Struggling ]

DADDY, WE'RE YOUR FRIENDS.
WE COME IN PEACE.

[ Chirping ]

[ Laughs Nervously ]
I THINK HE UNDERSTOOD ME.

UM... DIANE.

D-DO YOU HAVE A, UM--
A NAIL FILE ?

YES.
OKAY.

'CAUSE WHILE I'M FILING,
I WANT YOU TO TALK TO HIM.

YOU KNOW, DISTRACT HIM
SO HE DOESN'T FLAIL
AROUND A LOT.

TALK TO HIM.
TALK TO A BUG.
YOU KNOW.

FIND SOME COMMON GROUND.

YOU BOTH SPEND
A LOT OF TIME
IN THIS KITCHEN.

[ Sighing ]
ALL RIGHTY.

HI. MY NAME'S DIANE.

I SEE YOU'VE BEEN

[ Chirps ]
SILLY ME.

OH, OH !
THAT BETTER ?

THANK YOU.

OHH, WE'VE HAD SUCH
A LOUSY DAY.

YOU'VE HAD A PRETTY BAD ONE
YOURSELF, HAVEN'T YOU ?

BUT FOR YOU,

YOU'RE USED TO BEING SMALL.

FOR US, IT'S A COMPLETELY
NEW EXPERIENCE.

FOR ME, VERY SCARY.

ALTHOUGH, YOU KNOW,
PARTS OF IT WERE ACTUALLY...

KIND OF NICE.

[ Chirps ]
[ Shudders, Laughs ]

- ALL DONE.
[ Chuckles ]
- REALLY ?

LAST STRAND.

DO YOU THINK HE HEARD WHAT I
SAID ABOUT SQUASHING HIM ?

[ Patty ]
OH, LOOK.

HEY, THAT'S IT.
DIANE, THAT'S OUR RIDE !
COME BACK !

COME BACK !

DADDY, COME BACK.
WE NEED YOU !

[ Kids Chattering, Laughing ]

ARE YOU SURE ?
THAT'S WEIRD.

OKAY. BYE.

THEY SAID OUR MOMS
NEVER MADE IT.

YOU'RE KIDDING.
NO.

OKAY. WELL, LET'S
JUST CALL OUR DADS.

BUT THEY DIDN'T
LEAVE A NUMBER.

OKAY. JUST CALM DOWN.
DON'T PANIC.

BUT IF OUR MOMS
AREN'T AT THAT PLACE,
THEN WHERE ARE THEY ?

[ Patty ]
SO TELL ME
HOW YOU DO THAT AGAIN ?

OKAY. SO THEN I JUST TOSS IN
SOME GARBANZO BEANS AND CRUMBLE
IN SOME TORTILLA CHIPS,

AND I CALL IT
A MEXICAN SALAD.

THAT IS GREAT. I'M GONNA
HAVE TO TRY THAT SOMETIME.
THE OTHER THING,

YOU CAN CALL SOMETHING A CHINESE
SALAD IF YOU THROW IN SOME
OF THOSE MANDARIN ORANGES...

AND SOME OF THOSE
LITTLE CHINESE CHUNG KING
SQUIGGLY LITTLE NOODLES.

YOU ARE SO GOOD
AT THOSE THINGS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?

KISSING YOU.

WELL, YOU DIDN'T
EVER ASK !

ASK WHAT ?
ASK IF I WANTED
TO KISS YOU !

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?
YOU JUST ASSUMED THAT I
WANTED YOU TO KISS ME.

I MEAN, I DON'T
EVEN KNOW YOU.

AND EVEN IF I DID
KNOW YOU, AND WE TALKED
AND YOU GOT TO KNOW ME,

AND YOU ASKED ME
IF I WANTED TO KISS,
I MIGHT HAVE BEEN INTO IT.

BUT THE WAY YOU DID IT WAS
JUST... WRONG.

WELL, LOTS OF GIRLS
LIKE THAT.

WELL, I'M NOT ONE OF THEM.
I DON'T HAPPEN TO THINK
THAT WAY.

AND AS FAR AS YOU AND I ARE
CONCERNED, THE PARTY IS OVER.

YOU TELL HIM,
JENNY !

ACCESS DENIED !

[ Grunting ]

MY DAD'S SCIENCE TALK.

HI, GUYS.

HOW YOU FEELIN' ?

A LITTLE DIZZY.
BUT OKAY, I GUESS.

I SAW MOM
ON THE COUNTER.

SURE. RIGHT.

I-I DID. AND SHE WAS--
SHE WAS REALLY,
REALLY SMALL.

- [ Muffled Thuds,
Girl Screaming ]

WHAT WAS THAT ?

** [ Loud Rock ]
[ Books Crashing ]

MY DAD'S BOOKSHELF !

OH, DAMN IT, WAYNE.
WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG ?

- RICKY KING ! WHAT DO
YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING ?

CALLING ALL KIDS !
CALLING ALL KIDS !

EXCUSE ME,

NOW, THIS SHOULD
HOLD THE CURRENT.
SO IF I-- WHOA !

[ Electricity Zapping ]

I TOLD YOU THE PARTY'S OVER.
EVERYBODY OUT.

YEAH ? WELL, MAYBE
WE'RE NOT READY TO LEAVE.

- [ Remote Control Clicks ]
- ** [ Loud Rock Resumes ]

DID YOU NOT HEAR HER ?
SHE SAID THE PARTY'S OVER.

SO WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE BEFORE
YOU CAUSE ANY MORE DAMAGE ?

WHAT ? YOUR DAD'S
STUPID INVENTIONS ?

HIS INVENTIONS ARE NOT
STUPID. HIS SHRINK RAY'S
GOING TO THE SMITHSONIAN.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOUR DAD
INVENTED A SHRINK RAY.

WHAT DOES HE SHRINK WITH IT ?
HEMORRHOIDS ?

[ Kids Laughing ]

- THAT IS NOT FUNNY.
- ADMIT IT, ADAM.
YOUR DAD'S A LOSER.

- [ Electricity Zapping ]
- HE IS NOT.

AND IF HE WERE HERE, HE'D
KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE
DONE TO HIS BOOKSHELF.

IS THAT SO, DADDY'S BOY ?
WELL, HE'S NOT HERE.

SO I GUESS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

WELL, M-MAYBE I WILL.

- WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
ABOUT IT, HUH ?
- I WISH MOM AND DAD WERE HERE.

ME TOO.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA
DO ABOUT IT, HUH ?

[ Microphone Whines ]

NOW GORDON ! NOW !

[ Over Microphone ]
LISTEN !
LISTEN TO ME, CHILDREN.

I WANT YOU ALL TO
STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING !

- [ Boy ]
HUH ?
- [ Girl ] SHH.

WHO SAID THAT ?

THIS IS THE VOICE OF G--
GOD.
[ Boy ] THERE'S NOBODY HERE.

Y-YES !
GOD IS TALKING TO YOU.

AND I WANT YOU ALL
TO LEAVE THIS HOUSE !

GOD SOUNDS A LOT
LIKE DAD.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IS HE HERE ?
[ Gordon ] NORMALLY,
I WOULD HAVE BEEN SILENT.

BUT YOUR OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOR
TONIGHT HAS FORCED ME TO SPEAK !

IT'S JUST A TRICK.
[ Gordon ]
IS THAT SO, RICKY KING ?

THEN HOW COME I KNOW
YOU LIVE ON SYCAMORE ?

YOUR DAD'S NAME IS MEL.
AND YOUR MOM IS...

CINDY !

THIS IS GETTING WEIRD.

NOW I SAID I WANT YOU OUT !

- WHAT'S THE--
- O-U-T !

- LET'S GO, GUYS.
- YES. OH, YES. RUN.
QUICKLY. RUN.

- [ Girls Exclaiming ]
- OR I WILL SWOOP DOWN...

AND TEACH YOU ALL A LESSON
IN PROPER PARTY ETIQUETTE !

I WILL BRING PLAQUE
TO YOUR TINY TEETH.

SO BRUSH, I TELL YOU !
BRUSH !
[ Laughs ]

OKAY, DAD. THEY'RE GONE.
YOU CAN STOP ACTING
LIKE GOD NOW.

OH. SORRY.

SO, UH,
WHERE'S THE CAMERA ?

YEAH. WHERE ARE YOU
BROADCASTING FROM ?
RIGHT HERE, IN THE ROOM.

YOUR DAD SHRUNK US.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

NO. NOW GIVE ME A HAND. I'M
OVER HERE BY THE LEFT SPEAKER.

THAT MEANS HE SAW US
ROLLERBLADING IN THE HOUSE.

AND I WASN'T
WEARING MY PADS.

YOU KNOW, DAD, I DIDN'T
INVITE THOSE BOYS OVER.

I SWEAR.
I KNOW. I KNOW.
WAYNE AND I SAW EVERYTHING.

THAT'S RIGHT. YOU WEREN'T
IN THE KITCHEN, WERE YOU ?

NO ! NO.

BUT YOUR MOTHERS WERE.

OH, GOD.
I TOLD YOU
I SAW THEM.

NOW, LISTEN TO ME, KIDS.
THESE MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS I EVER GIVE YOU.

JENNY. GO RUN AND FIND
A PIECE OF PAPER.

AND ADAM, GO UP TO YOUR ROOM.
LOOK UNDER THE LAUNDRY BASKET.
GET THE SHARK CAR.

COME ON DOWN HERE.
AND WAYNE, MEET ME IN FRONT
OF THE RECEIVER.

I LAST SAW THEM
OVER HERE.
OKAY.

CAREFUL NOT TO SQUISH 'EM.
NO, NO, NO, NO !

CAREFUL.
HERE.
USE THIS, OKAY ?

I'M GONNA GO FIND
OUR DADS.
DON'T MOVE ANYTHING.

OKAY, UNCLE GORDON. HOP IN.
NOW LET'S GO FIND MY DAD.

MOM ?
MOM ?

[ Mitch ]
AUNT DIANE ?

- LET ME SEE IT.
- HI !

[ Chuckles ]
HI.

OKAY, DAD.
ATTABOY, SON !
YES !

WHERE ARE THE WIVES ?
MITCH IS PICKIN' 'EM UP.
HOP IN.

[ Controls Beeping ]

CAREFUL. CAREFUL.
SET IT DOWN EASY.

I KNOW, I KNOW.
I AM.

LOOK, THEY MADE IT.
WE DID IT !

- [ Beep ]
- WAIT !
THE MACHINE.

[ Adam ]
DON'T FORGET THE CAR.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW ?
WE WAIT UNTIL IT HITS
CRITICAL MASS...

AND THEN PUSH THIS BUTTON.

WAIT A MINUTE.
DO WE REALLY
WANT TO DO THIS ?

I MEAN, I GOT A HAMSTER
CAGE IN MY ROOM.

I MEAN, WE COULD
LEAVE 'EM SHRUNK,

AND THEY'LL NEVER TELL US
WHAT TO DO AGAIN.

WOW, TOTAL FREEDOM.

I SUPPOSE WE COULD WAIT
LIKE A WEEK.

I DON'T LIKE THE LOOKS
OF THAT.

IF THOSE KIDS DON'T UNSHRINK US,
THEY ARE GOING TO BE
IN SO MUCH TROUBLE.

OH, REALLY ? WHAT
ARE YOU GONNA DO
ABOUT IT, THUMBELINA ?

[ Machine Revving ]

[ Signal Beeping ]

I SAY WE GIVE 'EM
A SECOND CHANCE.
GOOD IDEA.

YEAH. YEAH, YEAH.

READY ? ONE, TWO...

THREE.

[ Zapping ]

WHOA !
IT WORKED !
WAY TO GO, GUYS !

I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU !
I WAS WORRIED
ABOUT YOU TOO, SWEETIE.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT,
YOU WERE IN GOOD HANDS !

THIS ONE.
OH, MOM.

ABOUT THAT...
RICKY KING THING--

SWEETHEART, I WAS SO PROUD
OF YOU, THE WAY YOU HANDLED
YOURSELF WITH THAT BOY,

AND THE WAY YOU TOOK CARE
OF YOUR BROTHER.

FROM NOW ON, I TRUST YOU.

SPEAKING OF TRUST.
I SAW THE MAGAZINE.

THEY FORCED ME TO LOOK AT IT.
I-I DIDN'T WANT TO !

IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
THE POINT IS, I SHOULD'VE
LISTENED TO YOU WHEN YOU SAID...

YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO
CAMP ISOSCELES THIS SUMMER.
ME TOO.

HOW ABOUT IF WE SEND YOU
TO... BASEBALL CAMP ?

WOW.

LOOK, IF YOU WANNA BE
A SCIENTIST, THAT'S GREAT.

BUT IF YOU WANNA
BE A BASEBALL PLAYER,
THAT'S GREAT TOO.

YOU SHOULD DO
WHATEVER SUITS YOU.

YOU MEAN IT ?

I DO. I'LL PROVE IT.

GORDON. I SHOULDN'T BE
PRESIDENT OF SZALINSKI LABS,
GORDON.

I'M NO GOOD AT IT.
I SHOULD BE INVENTING THINGS.
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO DO.

BUT YOU, YOU'RE--
YOU'RE GREAT AT ORGANIZING
THINGS AND DEALING WITH PEOPLE.

AND YOU NEVER FORGET
WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT IS.

WHAT DO YOU SAY ? WILL YOU
BE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY ?
WILL YOU TAKE THE JOB ?

[ Sighs ]
MMM. YOU BET !

THIS IS GREAT !
I'M GONNA HAVE
SO MUCH FUN.

- [ All Laughing ]
- OH, HONEY.

DIANE, I PROMISE,
I'LL GET RID OF THE TIKI MAN.
NO. WAYNE.

I'M NOT GONNA SWEAT
THE SMALL STUFF ANYMORE.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE FUN.

WAYNE,
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT
WITH THE TIKI MAN.

I HAD NO IDEA BASEBALL
HAD THAT MUCH MATH IN IT,

OR THAT MY SON WOULD BE
SUCH A GOOD CATCHER.

YEAH. I BET YOU WERE
THE ONLY DAD THERE...

THAT COULD FIGURE OUT
THE WHOLE TEAM'S BATTING AVERAGE
INSTANTLY IN HIS HEAD.

WE'RE JUST GLAD YOU
HAD A GOOD TIME, HONEY,
AND EVEN HAPPIER YOU'RE HOME.

YEAH, IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK.
HEY, DID YOU MAKE ANY
CHANGES WHILE I WAS GONE ?

WELL, I DID
MOVE THE TIKI MAN
INTO THE BACKYARD.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ?
