Isn't Dad home yet?

No, he isn't, Peter,

and I suggest you go back to your homework.

I can't concentrate since Dad called

and said he had a big surprise for us.

Well, how about surprising him

by going back and finishing your homework?

Okay, I'll give it another try,

but I can't guarantee the results.

He's not home yet.

This is the longest day of my whole life.

Nothing to do but homework.

Alice?

Your dad's not home yet.

How'd you know I was going to ask?

'Cause I've never seen you

in and out of the kitchen so much without eating.

Oh, well, thanks for reminding me.

CAROL: Hey, eat that outside.

Kids-- they're so impatient.

Yeah. I'm glad we're past that stage.

Right. I mean, if we'll all just keep cool and calm,

he'll get here when he can

and then he'll tell us what the surprise is.

( horn honking )

He's here, he's here, everybody!

He's here!

( all shouting )

Oh, hi, honey!

( all shouting greetings )

Mom told us not to ask you anything

about the big surprise.

So we're not asking.

But if you want to volunteer, Dad...

Well, you know these plans I've been working on for weeks?

Yes.

Mr. Phillips is sending me

to Cincinnati to submit them.

That's the big surprise?

There is one other small detail.

Yeah, what's that?

The plans are for a big amusement park

and I thought you'd all like to go with me.

( all shouting excitedly )

I'm sure you're going to be more than pleased

with the sketches and ideas, Mr. Remington.

Uh, yes, well, I sort of thought we'd have more...

No, sure, sure, I understand.

1:00 will be fine.

Yeah, well, I'll look forward to meeting you

and Mr. Dempsey.

Okay. Good-bye.

That's great-- we come all the way here,

and I have a fast half hour for a meeting

before they have to catch a plane to New York.

Well, honey, at least we'll have

all morning in the park with the kids.

Yeah.

Hey, where do you want me to put these?

Let's put them right here,

where we can keep an eye on them.

All right. You know, I think this is gonna be fun.

It reminds me a little of our honeymoon-- remember?

How could I forget, with six kids along.

( laughs )

( shouting )

You won't believe all the rides!

The grounds are beautiful!

So are the girls!

Well, let's get going.

Okay, okay.

We'll be right there.

As I said, just like our honeymoon.

Yeah.

( talking excitedly )

Kids, I tell you what: Go wherever you like--

just remember

we meet back at the main restaurant at noon sharp.

Hey! Great!

Let's get going. Let's go!

We'll see you.

Uh, hold it, hold it.

No loading up, you two, on everything in sight.

We're going to have a big lunch, okay?

Okay, good-bye. See you later.

Well, I guess we better get moving, too,

because I want to see as much of the park as possible

before that meeting at 1:00.

I'll take some more balls.

You'll wear yourself out.

Well, I'm gonna keep throwing until you tell me your name.

Well, to save you a dislocated shoulder--

it's Marge.

I'm Greg Brady.

I think I've thrown more footballs

than Joe Namath in a whole season.

When do you get through here?

Right about now.

Hey, great. Have lunch with me.

Oh, sorry, I can't.

I'm filling in for my brother.

He's an animal.

Aren't we all?

( laughing )

I mean, he wears one of those animal costumes

and walks around the park greeting people.

Hey, wait.

Which animal are you?

That's for you to find out.

Hey, Marge!

Marge!

( clanking )

( Alice laughing )

( screaming )

( screaming )

( squealing )

Eating popcorn really isn't eating,

because we're just after the prizes, right?

Right. We'll just work our way through the box

till we get to the prizes

'cause they're always on the bottom.

Mm-hmm.

Little Nancy will love that poster you bought for her.

It's the least I could do

after making all that money baby-sitting for her folks.

Yeah, I meant to hit you for a loan.

Yogi Bear is cute,

but maybe I should've gotten that giraffe poster.

Well, we better do it later.

Right now, we've got to go meet the others for lunch.

Hey, let's go back after we eat.

Okay.

Hi, sorry to be late.

I stopped by the room

to pick up the plans before the meeting.

I just want to tell you I can't stay for lunch.

I met a girl.

Greg, you have to eat.

Okay?

Well, "man does not live by bread alone."

Hi. Hi.

Where you going?

To see an animal about a girl.

Hi. Boy, that roller coaster sure made me hungry.

How can you tell?

I left my stomach back on the roller coaster.

Ooh.

Hi.

Hi. I guess you two kids

must be starved, too, huh?

Um, well, Mom, do they have a child's plate?

Yeah, maybe Bobby and I can share one.

Didn't I warn you two

about eating everything in sight?

Yeah, but next time, you ought to warn us a lot harder.

Yeah, maybe we can eat lunch later.

MARCIA: Sorry we're late.

JAN: It was my fault.

I couldn't decide between a bear and a giraffe.

What's everyone having for lunch?

Well, we better order.

I don't want to be late for my meeting.

Peter, will you kindly get your feet

off of my poster?

You're going to ruin it.

Take better care of it.

I wish I had someplace to put it for safekeeping.

Hey, Dad, do you need both of those?

Honey, the entire reason for us being here is

in these cylinders.

Oh, well, could your sketches fit into one,

so I can put my poster in the other?

Please, I have to take it all the way home.

Oh, I guess so.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you, Dad.

You're welcome.

Gentlemen, as I've indicated,

our firm has an interesting concept

for the new area of your park.

So, for your consideration...

Something wrong, Mr. Brady?

May I see the sketches?

( all chuckling )

Well, I appreciate your little joke, Mr. Brady.

Well, I'm afraid it's an unplanned joke.

I'm sorry, there's been a mix-up.

This is my daughter's poster.

She must have my sketches.

Well, there's no problem.

I'll find my daughter and get them back.

Well, we have to leave

in half an hour to catch a plane.

Well, I hope I can find her by then.

( clanking )

( screaming )

( screaming )

I have to go back to the poster shop

so I can exchange... wait a minute!

I lost it.

Oh, no.

You must have left it on some ride.

It could be anywhere.

I'll have to get another one.

Luckily, they're not too expensive.

Marge?

( deep male voice ): Do I sound like a Marge?

Sorry.

Do you know which animal Marge is?

Hey, you wouldn't be Marge, would you?

Would you know where Marge is?

She's the girl at the football booth

who's filling in for her brother.

Oh, yeah, she's inside the employees' area.

Thanks.

Wait, wait a minute! You can't go in there--

not unless you're an employee.

Hey, how would you like to rent me

your costume for a while?

Hello there.

Hey, wait a minute.

Hey, it's me.

Why don't you go someplace and hibernate?

Aren't you the young girl from the football booth?

Yes.

It's urgent that I find my family.

Do you remember my son Greg?

Very well.

Have you seen him?

No.

I'm right here, Dad.

What are you doing in there?

Well...

Never mind.

Shed your skin and help me find Jan, fast.

Now that's what I call an exciting ride.

Stop the park, I want to get off.

Has either one of you seen Jan?

No, but I just saw my entire life pass before my eyes.

Is something wrong, Mike?

Everything! We got our cylinders mixed up.

Jan has my sketches.

I think she was on her way to the poster shop.

Come on! We gotta find her!

Stomach, you stay here and rest.

Legs, let's go.

Any luck?

She hasn't been here again.

And I've got ten minutes left to find those sketches!

There she is!

Jan!

MIKE: Jan.

CAROL: Oh, thank goodness you're here.

What's all the fuss? No time to explain.

Where are my sketches?

I don't have your sketches.

We got the cylinders mixed. Where are yours?

Dad, I lost it.

You lost it?!

And we've been practically all over the park.

Oh, honey.

Never mind. We'll split up and find it.

Greg, round up the rest of the kids

and we'll turn the park upside down.

And whoever finds it first,

return it to the manager's office-- pronto!

Hi... Hi, folks. You finders or losers?

No, we're losers.

Oh, you'd be surprised what people lose nowadays. Yeah.

I've got all sorts of shoes,

purses, false teeth, eyeglasses...

We lost a container.

Container? Yeah.

Oh, got a lot of containers. Big day for containers.

Got a container of cole slaw,

I got a container with a goldfish in it...

No, it's a container just like this.

Ah, yeah...

Oh! Are you in luck!

I got one just like that, right here.

How about that?

No, no, this container had sketches in it.

Oh, well, you better check back later, folks.

I don't have it.

Thank you. Okay. Bye.

It's not in any of these.

We'll have to check all of them.

Hey, why are we going to look in there?

Jan didn't say anything about eating pizza.

Well, somebody could've found Dad's sketches

and left them in there.

That's right, too.

So, as long as we're here,

let's have some pizza.

Marge?

Have you seen a cardboard cylinder

with some sketches in it?

You never give up, do you?

Maybe we can get together later on.

I guess it's too late, honey.

I'm going to have to tell Mr. Remington

we can't find the sketches.

I'm sorry, Mike.

Well, not half as sorry as my boss is gonna be, when he finds out.

Well, I'll wait for you back at the entrance.

Okay.

I could've left it on that little island.

We were all over it.

Well, let's give it a look.

Marcia, look! I found it!

Oh, my gosh! Hurry! Let's go!

Let's get it to the manager's office, quick!

Look.

Oh!

Alice, Alice, we found Dad's sketches.

Oh, good for you.

We're out of breath. Take 'em to the manager's office!

Okay, kids, the Pony Express rides again.

Nope, it's not in there either.

ALICE ( yelling ): Bobby! Cindy!

Look, lend a leg!

I've got to get this to the manager's office

and my saddle broke about a mile back.

Okay, we may have little legs,

but they go awfully fast.

Well, it's not in the skee-ball place

or the bumper cars.

I don't think there's anyplace we haven't looked.

Greg! Greg! Greg!

Dad's sketches! But we can't run anymore.

Come on, Pete!

Mom! Mom! Mom!

Dad's sketches.

Oh, I hope it's not too late.

Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Brady,

but we do have a plane to catch.

Well, I can phone my office

and have copies of the sketches sent in no time at all.

I'm afraid that would be too late.

See, we have to make the decision in the morning.

Thank you, anyway. Pleasure.

Mike! Mike! We found 'em! We found 'em!

I think I just made the deadline

unless my wife's brought another bear poster.

Honey, I'd like you to meet Mr. Remington, Mr. Dempsey.

My wife Carol. Hello.

Pleasure, Mrs. Brady.

Thank you.

Let's see... Ha! No bear poster.

Well, the board will give these

every consideration.

Nice meeting you, Mrs. Brady.

Oh, thank you. Nice meeting you.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

GREG: Did you make it? Did you make it?

The plans are on the way to New York.

( all cheering )

I'm a total wipeout.

So am I.

I could sleep all week.

Too bad you're all exhausted.

I was gonna suggest we go for a ride on the roller coaster.

( all talking excitedly )

If I'm not there in three days, start without me.

( all talking excitedly )

( all screaming )

You know, honey, I'm really going to hate to leave.

The kids have had so much fun here.

Yeah, you can include this big kid, too.

( phone rings )

Hello?

Oh, yes, operator, he is.

Just a minute, please.

Honey, it's for you.

It's long-distance-- Mr. Philips.

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Philips.

They did?

( laughing ): Good, that's wonderful!

Oh.

Yes, thanks very much, we sure would.

Right.

Good-bye.

Mr. Remington just phoned Mr. Phillips from New York...

Uh-huh.

Our sketches have been approved

and they're going to go ahead with it.

Oh, congratulations, Mike!

Yeah, and the boss has asked us

to stay a couple of extra days

at company expense. How about that?

Ah, well, the kids will hate that.

We'll really have to force them.

Yeah.

( knocking at door ) Come in.

Greg, what are you doing in a bear suit again?

PETER: It's not Greg, it's me.

Peter?

What are you doing in that?

Well, that girl Marge has to work for her brother again,

but Greg wants to take her out to lunch,

so I'm filling in for her, okay?

That's very understanding of you.

I understand real good for five dollars.
