"I'm sorry about not paying back the money, but if you could just give me a little bit more time." "Mmm..." "Oh, my gosh." "That's the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had." "It's got just the right crunchy to chewy ratio." "I'm glad you like them." "This isn't a cookie." "It's nirvana." "It's bliss." "It's a warm puppy." "It's sleeping late on a summer morning, (GIGGLES) or walking barefoot on the beach at sunset." "If this cookie were a woman, I would ask it to marry me." "You see?" "With a cookie like this, business is just bound to pick up." "And I'm sure I could pay back the $10,000 in two months." "Would you like another one?" "Yes." "What?" "No." "Look, I'm sorry, Mrs. Larson, but you've already had three extensions." "My hands are tied." "You simply must pay back the $10,000 by the end of the month." "But that's only two weeks away."

"Ray Kaye, but my friends call me Big Ray, because I think big." "Well, what can I do for you, Mr. Kaye?" "No, no, no." "It's what can I do for you." "I understand that your property here, its loan is coming due." "And I'm here to offer you a business proposition." "And I'm consulting on the deal." "He's so cute." "I'm gonna offer you $100,000 here and now if you sell it to me." "RASCALS: $100,000!" "That's a lot of money." "Now, that's a..." "That's a lot of cute little people." "You wanna buy my bakery?" "Yes, I do." "Why?" "Progress." "Look, here is your bakery right now." "And as you can see, it's old, it's rundown, it's desperately in need of a face-lift." "And here's my plan." "We're gonna tear it all down and then in its place, this." "Say, what happened to Grandma's bakery?" "RASCALS:" "Yeah!" "Who's that?" "It's you again." "Little short stack." "I'll tell you what happened." "Mixed-use development." "Retail stores, office space, luxury apartments." "All very modern." "A mall?" "Oh, no, no, no." "Not a mall." "A Big Ray's Malltopia." "All glass and steel." "It's gonna kick this sleepy city right in the 21st century." "What, you're just gonna tear down my bakery?" "No, no, no, no, no." "No, I wanna offer you a very fair price, then tear it down." "WALDO:" "What about the tree house, Dad?" "No, don't worry about the tree house, Waldo." "We'll uproot the tree and tree house and we'll have it moved right into our backyard." "That's our tree house." "RASCALS:" "Yeah!" "Not after my daddy buys it." "Then it will be my tree house." "Members only." "And none of you will be members." "(CHUCKLES) Isn't he cute?" "I'm sorry, Mr. Kaye, but I can't imagine closing this place." "No." "See, my grandparents started this business." "Oh, well, you can sell it to me, or lose it to the bank in two weeks." "Unless, of course, I don't know, you got $10,000 lying around." "No." "Look, you're gonna get a much better deal from me than you will from the bank." "Well, I have two weeks to raise the money." "Until then, I won't sell." "Well, I'm just trying to be the good guy here." "All right." "Have it your way." "Two weeks." "Bye-bye." "Grandma, you owe the bank $10,000?" "Yes." "I know." "When we win the talent show, Grandma, we'll just give you the $10,000." "(CHUCKLES) Oh." "ALFALFA:" "Yeah." "That's first prize." "Did you hear what we sounded like this afternoon?" "We were terrible." "Speak for yourself." "She's right." "We'll never win the talent show." "Sorry, Grandma." "GRANDMA:" "That's okay, kids." "Please excuse me, but I think I'm gonna clean up the kitchen while I still have a kitchen to clean." "What are we gonna do?" "Not only will Grandma lose her bakery, but we're gonna lose our tree house to Waldo." "SPANKY:" "Hold on." "I have a great idea and I'm gonna give it to you in one word." "Jobs." "Whoa, whoa, whoa..." "(BARKING)" "MARY ANN:" "Hey, guys." "OFFICER KENNEDY:" "Thank you!" "Oh, come on!" "Mr. Kaye!" "Here they are, gentlemen." "Your new caddies." "Is this some kind of a joke?"

"Yeah, we travel in different social circles." "I don't know." "They're awful short." "Hey, as long as they can carry a bag, what difference does it make?" "Okay, let's go." "We're late." "Come on, grab the bags." "Now you two do exactly what Mr. Kaye says or you're out of a job." "Understand?" "Yes, sir." "Yes, sir." "Oh, Edgar, how did you manage having lunch here?" "You're not even a member of this club." "Let's just say I have a few friends in high places." "Oh, you mean the Chief?" "Yep, that's one." "Ooh, fancy."

"Maybe you'd like to share with us some of your golfing expertise." "With pleasure." "Watch and learn." "Oh, good." "I can't wait." "Show him how it's done, Spank." "Hmm." "Hmm." "Mmm!" "Ooh." "Mmm." "You're not getting any taller." "Simmer down, hot sauce." "June, there's something that I've been wanting to ask you." "Yes, Edgar?" "SPANKY:" "Fore!" "June, will you..."

"Alfalfa and me didn't get fired, we resigned." "Working conditions were terrible." "Mmm-hmm." "Okay, but how are we gonna raise enough money to help Grandma?" "Nobody ever got rich working for somebody else, right?" "Right." "So we're going to start our own business." "Our own business?" "What kind of business?" "Hmm." "Let me think." "(GROWLING)" "What's up, Petey?" "(BARKING)" "Petey just gave me an idea." "GIRL 1:" "Thank you." "SPANKY:" "Thanks." "DARLA:" "Hi, Alfalfa." "Hi, Darla." "5 whole dollars?" "I'm not sure." "That seems like an awful lot of money." "What exactly do you get for 5 whole dollars?" "The question really is, what don't you get?" "Here at Komplete Pet Kare, our expert staff will provide your pet with the finest services known to man or beast." "For the price of just $5, our deluxe spa package includes pet walking and washing." "But wait, there's more." "Your pet will also be groomed by our patented Groom-O-Lator." "Well, that does seem very nice, but Princess Flufferina means the world to me." "And I've never left her with anyone else before." "She's my prized pet." "You have nothing to worry about, Darla." "She's in good hands." "In fact, people call me the Cat Whisperer." "Hi there, kitty." "(HISSES) (GASPS)" "Spanky here will escort Princess Flufferina to the spa." "Bye, Alfalfa." "Bye." "Come on, Romeo, time to make some moolah." "How's the grooming going, Mary Ann?" "Yeah?" "Pretty good." "It took a while because he kept trying to hide in his shell, but look at that smile now." "Show them, Cecil." "How are the fish comin'?" "They're on the rinse cycle." "But I need both your help bathing and grooming the other animals." "Alfalfa, fire up the Groom-O-Lator." "Why can't you fire it up?" "'Cause I'm the leader." "I'm supervising." "(SIGHS)" "Ready, Petey?" "Here we go." "Here you go." "SPANKY:" "First stop, the rinse station." "Next stop, the soap-down station." "Then onto the rub-a-dub-dub scrub station." "After that, the dry-o-matic station." "And finally, a little perfume to make them smell sweet." "Fresh and clean." "If this isn't a license to print money, I don't know what is." "I gotta say, I had my doubts at first, but when you're right, you're right." "MARY ANN:" "Hey, Spanky, when you're done signing autographs, we need more soap." "Okay, okay." "The way I figure it, if we can see 50 pets a day, we'll have Grandma's money in no time flat." "Here's another one." "(BIRD SCREECHES)" "Ready for grooming." "Ready for grooming." "Okay, guys, load up the other pets." "We've got a lot of animals to groom." "Gotcha." "(BUBBLING)" "Oh, Ed, this is lovely." "I can't believe that you put this whole thing together on your lunch break."

"(HESITATING)" "Sure." "And wait until you see her exciting new look." "What new look?" "Here you go." "One Princess Flufferoni." "(CAT MEOWS)" "(SCREAMING)" "(SIGHS)" "Darla hates me now." "At least we made a little money for Grandma, thanks to my great idea." "No, we actually lost money." "Yeah, all the pet owners wanted their money back." "Did I mention Darla hates me now?" "Don't worry, I'll think of something else." "What?" "Yeah, what?" "I'm thinking." "Anything yet?" "No." "Now?" "How about now?" "Anything yet?" "Not yet." "Now?" "How about now?" "Don't rush me." "Genius takes time." "ALL:" "Grandma!" "GRANDMA:" "Hi, kids, I got some good news." "I sold off some old stock and I was able to raise $5,000." "(ALL GASP) That's great, Grandma."

"Do you, Desiree?" "Desiree?" "My decorator." "This dump is gonna need a total makeover when my father moves it to our back yard." "So, how do you even get in here?" "I wouldn't do that." "The burglar alarm is set." "A burglar alarm?" "On this dump?" "Get real." "(LAUGHING)" "I told you." "Yeah, he told you." "PORKY:" "That's hilarious." "I really don't like him." "Me neither."

"Hey, the gang and I, we have a band, the International Silver String Submarine Band." "I.S.S.S.B. for short." "Oh." "And I was wondering if you'd like to sing with us in the talent show next week." "I'd love to, Alfalfa, but I already agreed to be in the talent show with Waldo." "Waldo?" "WALDO:" "Hi, Darla." "(GASPS)" "Look at what my dad just bought me." "Waldo!" "It's beautiful!" "Isn't it?" "Want to go for a ride?" "Do I?" "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." "But I thought we were going to the library." "That's okay, I'll take her." "I'd offer you a ride, too, but clearly there's not enough room for three." "Sorry." "Bye, Alfalfa." "(AIR HISSING)" "(SIGHS)" "Hold it!" "Hold it." "And what happened to our lead singer?" "Darla and I could have made such beautiful music together." "What does she see in Waldo and that car of his?" "Forget about her." "We need to rehearse for the talent show." "But you don't know how hard it is to get a girlfriend when you don't have wheels." "Hmm." "Mmm-hmm." "Wheels?" "Wheels!" "I've got it." "I have my next great idea." "What do you have in mind?" "PORKY:" "Yeah." "Not only will we make money for Grandma, but you can impress Darla." "Hey, Darla." "Like a ride to the library?" "Alfalfa?" "Where did you get that?" "Me and the gang made it." "It's our new taxi cab service." "What does it even run on?" "ALFALFA:" "Petey power." "And it gets 3 miles to the bone." "So would you like a ride to the library?" "It's for a good cause, to save Grandma's bakery." "Okay, I'd love a ride." "(HORN HONKING) (TIRES SCREECHING)" "Hey!" "I'm supposed to drive Darla." "Sorry, Waldo, but Alfalfa already offered to take me." "I'd offer you a ride, Waldo, but, clearly, there's not enough room." "Let's roll, Stymie." "See ya."

"Step right up, folks." "One dollar for the ride of your life." "DARLA:" "This taxi's great, Alfalfa." "I love it." "Oh, no." "It's Butch and Worm." "DARLA:" "Uh-oh." "(GASPS)" "Well, well, well." "Nice set of wheels you got here." "Yeah, nice." "BUTCH:" "Fancy running into you on our street." "How's about giving me and Worm a ride?" "Huh?" "Okay, Butch." "That'll be one dollar."

"Don't worry, we're fine." "This is the express taxi." "Uh..." "And on your right, you will see the very spot where Miss Mugilicutty's rottweiler ate..." "Alfalfa?" "Stymie, I'm conducting a tour here." "It's important." "What's so important that it can't wait?" "No brakes!" "No brakes?" "(SCREAMS) I'm too young and handsome to die."

"I think we need a tow truck." "That was amazing!" "Let's do it again!" "My ring!" "Where's my ring?" "I'm so sorry, Darla." "I don't know what went wrong." "What went wrong was me accepting this ride from you in this death trap." "OFFICER KENNEDY:" "You kids have really done it!" "Do you know how many laws you've broken?" "I have had it with you kids!" "Edgar, calm down." "They're just children." "They're not children." "They're monsters." "Public menaces." "Dangers to society." "They're future criminals." "(TOGETHER) Sorry, Officer Kennedy." "He seems a little mad." "Darla, I heard the crash." "Are you all right?" "Thank you, Waldo." "I'm fine." "Just a little dizzy." "We were just trying to make money for Grandma's bakery." "I don't wanna hear your excuses." "And if I had my way, I'd lock each one of you up in jail right now and save the world a whole lot of trouble in the future." "You know what, Edgar?"

"(SIGHS) Officer Kennedy, I found this." "I thought you might want it back." "Women." "I don't think I'll ever understand them." "Join the club." "ALFALFA: (SINGING) Well, I don't know" "If all that's true" "'Cause you got me and baby, I got you" "Babe" "Hold it, hold it." "That sounded terrible." "Alfalfa, what's the problem?" "The problem is I don't got the babe." "And I don't got Darla." "I'm too depressed to sing." "Face it, Spank, we're never gonna be ready in time for the talent show." "And we're never gonna make enough money to save Grandma's bakery." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Okay, so we had a little setback with the taxi service." "A little setback?" "We lost money again." "And I lost Darla again." "To Waldo." "Boy, do I hate that guy." "Want another reason to hate him?" "Look." "The brake lever from the taxi cab." "The cables didn't snap, they were cut." "(GASPS)" "And who would want to see us fail more than anyone?" "Waldo." "Exactly." "That's it." "I'm gonna tear him limb from limb." "Boy, Waldo messed with the wrong guy." "And he's gonna be sorry he did." "'Cause I'm a caged tiger." "A hurricane." "And when someone crosses me, they unleash, the sledgehammer!" "(GASPS)" "Did I win?" "Alfalfa, you're a genius." "You've given me a great idea." "How we can raise money and help you get Darla back." "Isn't that what you said last time?" "And the time before that?" "ALL:" "Yeah." "This time, it's a sure thing." "Here you are, Darla." "One refreshing jumbo strawberry fizz supreme." "Two straws." "Thank you, Waldo." "It's so nice of you." "Anything for my partner in the talent show." "You and I are going to be unstoppable." "BUCKWHEAT:" "Come see the wrestling match of the century." "PORKY:" "Tell your friends!" "Alfalfa versus the Masked Marvel." "Yeah, you don't want to miss it." "One day only." "Alfalfa's gonna wrestle the Masked Marvel?" "Sounds dangerous." "Sounds ridiculous." "He couldn't wrestle a teddy bear." "I think he's pretty brave to do this." "Something fishy here." "Would you excuse me a moment, Darla?" "Well, of course, Waldo." "BUCKWHEAT:" "Alfalfa is gonna beat the Masked Marvel." "PORKY:" "Yeah, tell your friends." "Excuse me, my good man." "You don't happen to know who this Masked Marvel is, do you?" "Yeah." "But it's a secret." "Yeah, a big secret." "Spanky told us we're not supposed to tell." "I don't believe it." "Spanky would never tell you who the Masked Marvel is." "You're too little." "We're not too little." "We know." "Yeah, we know exactly who it is." "My friend," "Abraham Lincoln here, says you don't." "I bet you $5 you don't know who the Masked Marvel is." "Yeah?" "Well, guess what." "I'm going to be the Masked Marvel." "Yeah, Porky's gonna be the Masked Marvel." "Now pay up." "Well, you guys sure showed me." "Here, don't spend it all on gum balls." "Yes!" "Yeah!" "Gentlemen." "Who you callin' a gentleman?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "I'm here to make you a proposition." "Yeah?" "What kind of proposition?" "Yeah?" "What kind of proposition?" "The best kind." "A profitable one." "Gimme that." "Oh, there's more where that came from." "Follow me, there's a secret entrance." "Hurry, I hope it hasn't started yet." "I don't wanna miss it." "Me neither." "WALDO:" "Two tickets, please." "DARLA:" "Thanks for inviting me, Waldo." "Normally, I abhor violence, but this seemed too good to miss." "Enjoy the match." "Next!" "Popcorn!" "Get your popcorn!" "Can't enjoy a wrestling match without a big old bag of popcorn." "Thank you." "Popcorn!" "Get your popcorn!" "Welcome to the match." "Welcome." "Psst." "Spank." "How we doing so far?" "Great." "We got a full house." "Boy, are we gonna clean up." "I'll take that." "(WORM LAUGHS)" "KID:" "I paid good money for that." "I just hope Alfalfa doesn't hurt the Masked Marvel too badly." "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that." "(GASPS) Hey, this area is for wrestlers only." "There's been a change of plan." "Yeah." "(YELPS)" "Hello, Spanky." "Waldo?" "I didn't think of you as the wrestling type." "I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see the Masked Marvel wipe the floor with Alfalfa." "Oh, yeah?" "You're gonna be disappointed, Waldo." "There's no way Alfalfa's going to lose." "Oh, really?" "Care to make it interesting?" "What do you mean?" "I'll bet you all the money you've made from collecting admissions that Alfalfa is going to lose." "You're on, Waldo." "It's a bet. (SPITS)" "Sucker." "Showtime, Porky." "Wow, Porky." "The costume looks great on you." "You even look taller." "And remember, when I give you the high sign, that's your cue to take a dive." "Got it?" "(BOTH GASP)" "Ladies and gentlemen." "Welcome to the world championship wrestling match of all time." "(CROWD CHEERING)" "(BARKS)" "Are you ready to wrestle?" "(CHEERING)" "In this corner, the most dangerous man in wrestling." "Let's hear it for the undefeated, Wildcat Alfalfa." "(CHEERING)" "CROWD:" "Alfalfa!" "Alfalfa!" "How is he undefeated if he's never wrestled before?" "That's why he's undefeated." "Ah..." "In this corner, his opponent, the most feared man in wrestling." "The man, the myth, the legend, the Masked Marvel!" "(CROWD BOOING)" "Whoo!" "Go, Masked Marvel!" "(CHEERING) (BOOING)" "Okay, men, bring it in." "Shake hands." "Men, I wanna see a fair fight." "Good luck and may the best man win." "And remember, Porky, make it look real." "(CHEERING)" "And, fight." "CROWD: (CHANTING) Yeah!" "Alfalfa!" "Ooh, yeah!" "(CHANTING)" "(YELLING)" "Oh." "Ooh. (LAUGHS) (GROANS)" "Are you okay?" "He knows he's supposed to lose, right?" "Yeah." "He's just makin' it look good." "Now get back in there, champ." "CROWD:" "Go, Alfalfa!" "Go, Masked Marvel." "Okay, Masked Marvel." "Get ready for my signature move, the pulverizer." "It puts the "ow" in pow!" "(CROWD GASPING)" "(BELL RINGS)" "CROWD:" "Alfalfa!" "Alfalfa!" "Alfalfa!" "Alfalfa!" "(MUFFLED GRUNTING)" "(POUNDING)" "Holy guacamole." "What happened?" "(MUFFLED CRIES)" "Hmm?" "(CROWD CHEERING)" "(WHINES)" "And, fight." "CROWD: (CHANTING) Alfalfa!" "Alfalfa!" "(YELLING)" "Yes!" "Whoa!" "Porky." "Don't you see he's giving you the high sign?" "Oh, I can't watch!" "I can." "You're supposed to make it look real." "Not that real!" "I don't remember this as part of the plan." "Me neither." "Spanky!" "Spanky!" "Spanky!" "(GASPS)" "Psst." "(GROANS)" "(SOFTLY) Alfalfa." "(GASPS)" "If Porky's there, then who's... (GASPS)" "Butch." "Butch!" "(GASPS)" "(GROWLS)" "(GIGGLES NERVOUSLY)" "Run, Alfalfa, run!" "Run for your life!" "(GROANS) Ooh!" "What are you doing?" "(SCREAMING)" "Ooh!" "Oh, no." "Yeah!" "And the winner is Butch!" "(GROANS)" "This isn't fair." "You cheated by putting Butch in the match." "And you cheated by rigging the match with Porky." "I just cheated better." "But don't worry, it's going to a good cause." "I'm going to use the money to put a security system in the tree house, so I can keep you all out for good." "Come on, Darla." "Sorry, Alfalfa." "You lost all our money, Spank?" "How come you didn't ask us before you did that?" "BOTH:" "Yeah!" "Because I'm the leader and I had to make a split-second, executive decision." "I almost got killed for nothing." "Okay, so I made a bad call." "But don't worry." "I'll come up with one of my great ideas any second now." "Every time you come up with one of your great ideas, something bad happens." "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Well, someone has to do the thinking around here." "You guys would be helpless without me." "Right, Alfalfa?" "Alfalfa?" "They're right, Spank." "We're all supposed to act as a team, but you never act that way." "Ever." "And now, thanks to you, it's too late to save Grandma's bakery." "It's over." "We lost." "Come on, guys." "Hey." "Where are you going?" "Come back." "We still have a little time left." "Porky?" "Buckwheat?" "You're too bossy, Spanky." "Yeah, too bossy." "(SIGHS)" "Petey?" "(WHINES)" "(SIGHS)" "Oh, Spanky!" "(LAUGHS)" "Want a muffin?" "It's hot." "No, thanks, Grandma." "I'm not really hungry." "A Rascal doesn't want a muffin?" "I've never heard of that before." "Never get tired of this." "Oh..." "I'm gonna miss this old bakery." "I'm really sorry, Grandma." "Been trying so hard to make money to save it." "Spanky, I do appreciate all of you trying to help me, honey." "But you're losing your bakery." "And we're losing our tree house." "You have your friends." "That's what's important." "Not anymore." "They're all mad at me." "They say I'm bossy." "Well, is that true?" "I'm not bossy." "I just tell people what to do." "That sounds kind of bossy to me." "Well, someone has to give the orders." "Otherwise, nothing would ever get done." "A good leader has to be also a good listener." "'Cause you can't just give orders." "You have to inspire." "What difference does it make now?" "They don't need me anymore." "Oh, they do need you, and you need them." "Let me show you something." "This is pure cocoa powder." "I want you to smell it." "(INHALES)" "Mmm, smells great." "And now, try to taste it." "Yuck." "It tastes bitter." "(LAUGHS) That's because it's cocoa." "And not until it gets mixed in with all those other ingredients does it become a wonderful cupcake." "Okay, but what does this have to do with me and my friends?" "Well, it's because you and your friends are like the ingredients of my cupcakes." "Not until you all come together do you become something wonderful." "Oh, June." "June!" "I was just coming to see you." "We need to talk." "I think we've said everything we need to say, Edgar." "No, then I need to say more." "I can't sleep, I miss you." "Junebug, I miss you." "And I feel terrible about the way I acted the other day." "Oh?" "I'm really, really sorry about what I said to the kids." "It's just every time they're around, our dates get ruined." "Bad things happen." "To us." "Every time." "Well, they're just children, Edgar." "They're not trying to make your life miserable." "They don't have to try, they're succeeding." "Oh, if you can't be patient with children, you shouldn't date a school teacher." "I'll be patient." "I'll be patient." "Just give me a chance." "I know I can be the kind of guy you want, the kind of guy that likes kids." "Loves..." "I love kids." "Let me prove it." "You wanna prove it?" "Well, tonight is the kids' talent show." "How would you like to be my date?" "Are those kids gonna be there?" "Yes, Edgar, those kids." "You wanted a chance to prove yourself." "That sounds great." "Good." "I love kids." "Now, are those flowers for me or are they just there to make you look pretty?" "No, they're for you." "And the balloons." "I like chocolate, too." "Okay, okay." "SERGIO:" "Ready to commence?" "Here we go." "Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight." "And here we go, spinning in an orbit like the Mars Rover and spinning out." "Spinning in and dipsy-doodle." "Stop." "Stop." "Stop." "What's wrong?" "It's very nice, Waldo." "But when you make this gesture..." "I want to see a little more, "I'm a pre-teen idol, worship me,"" "and a little less, "I'm your next president, vote for me."" "Gotcha." "Thanks, Sergio." "Now, about you, Darla, when you come out of the double spin," "I want to see a bigger smile, like this." "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Ha!" "Bigger." "Bigger." "Bigger!" "That's it." "My cheeks are starting to hurt." "(SIGHS)" "Trust me on this, honey." "I was a smile consultant to presidents, captains of industry, and super models, before I became a choreographer and musical director." "Darla, Sergio's the best there is." "Okay." "Now for the finale." "I want you both to watch me very, very, very, very, very closely." "One, two, three!" "Showgirl, showgirl, showgirl, showgirl." "Huh?" "Huh?" "Huh?" "And the bunny hop!" "Bunny hop!" "Bunny hop!" "Bunny hop!" "And the fishing." "We are fishing." "We are fishing." "(GASPS) The big one got away." "And we go into the La-Z-Boy!" "And then the butterfly." "Ooh!" "(VASE SHATTERS) And for the big finish... (GASPS) Ha!" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Now, follow me." "Your costumes have arrived from the tailor in Paris." "STYMIE:" "Remember when we carved these?" "It was the day we finished building this place." "Do you ever think we'll have another tree house as good as this one?" "Even if we did, it wouldn't be this one." "What do you want?" "Guys, we gotta go for broke." "We have to do the talent show." "We don't take orders from you anymore." "Yeah." "You said it." "We're tired of being bossed around all the time." "Okay, I admit that lately on some select occasions," "I may have been a little on the bossy side." "Huh?" "(BARKING)" "Okay, okay, I've been a lot on the bossy side." "You happy?" "And I shouldn't have bet that money without asking you all first." "But this is our last chance to save" "Grandma's bakery and our tree house." "You're not the leader anymore." "Well, then who is the leader?" "I guess we're all the leaders now." "It's a democracy." "Yeah, democracy." "SPANKY:" "Fair enough." "So I'd like to propose something to all the leaders of the club." "The grand prize to the talent show is $10,000." "That's more than enough to stop Big Ray and Waldo." "But we've hardly practiced." "And when we have, we've been terrible." "Stinky." "What chance do we really have of winning that show?" "None, if we don't try." "(GROWLS)" "You know, this club is like one of Grandma's cupcakes." "You mean bad for our teeth?" "No." "We're like the ingredients." "Separately, we don't taste very good." "Huh?" "But together, we're like an awesome cupcake or something." "All I'm saying is, we're better together than we are apart." "Now who's in?" "Anyone?" "Anyone?" "(SIGHS)" "(HEAVES)" "All right, guys, the International Silver String" "Submarine Band is playing tonight." "Gather up your instruments." "O-tay!" "O-tay!" "For Grandma." "ALL:" "For Grandma!" "ALFALFA:" "Come on, hurry, guys." "ANNOUNCER:" "Hello, Greenhaven!" "Please give a warm welcome for our host with the most," "Mr. Leo McCarey!" "Thank you!" "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the talent show!" "Who let you in here?" "Since it's a talent show, we thought there ought to be some talent in it." "WALDO:" "Come on, Darla." "Good luck, Alfalfa." "You, too, Darla." "I hope you win." "(SHEEPISHLY) Or at least come in second." "(CHEERING)" "All right, then, help me give a warm welcome to our esteemed panel ofjudges who will be deciding which act is going to take home the $10,000 grand prize tonight!" "Our first act tonight, an amazing duo of tap dancers." "Please put your hands together for Tap Tenacity." "(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)" "They're really good." "Uh-huh." "Yeah, that was good." "Next on stage, please welcome" "McKible the Magnificent." "MCKIBLE:" "For my first trick..." "No." "...I'll pull a rabbit out of this hat." "Alakazam." "I will now shuffle the deck and magically make your card reappear." "(LAUGHS)" "Um, is that it?" "No." "That one?" "No." "That one?" "No." "Amateurs." "For my grand finale," "I will escape from these solid steel handcuffs in three seconds." "One, two, three." "Ta-da!" "(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)" "Mystical, wasn't it?" "(LAUGHTER)" "Please help me welcome to the stage the new musical stylings of Waldo and Darla." "(LAUGHS)" "(WHOOPING)" "Notice how Waldo's name is first." "Mmm-hmm." "(SINGING) I've been a-searching" "All this big wide world" "Now finally I found" "My candy girl" "Candy girl" "I found me a girl" "Candy girl" "She sets my heart awhirl" "Candy girl" "With hugging" "Hugging And kissing" "Kissing And loving" "We're fishing." "The big one got away." "Mine Mine" "Whoa" "And he twirls her around." "They're super good." "Yeah, I'd vote for them." "What?" "Okay, what?" "Candy girl" "She vows eternally Candy girl" "Three, two, four." "To hold me" "Hold me And love me" "Love me Until the end of time" "He's mine Mine" "Mine Mine" "Whoa" "Candy girl" "Candy girl" "(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)" "(GRUNTS)" "Thank you." "Thank you, everyone." "Thank you." "(LAUGHS)" "Number one!" "Bravo!" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "That was amazing." "It looks like Waldo and Darla are the act to beat." "Spanky, I don't think we can compete with Waldo and Darla." "Oh, come on." "What do they have that we don't?" "Uh, fancy costumes." "Great choreography." "And a pretty girl singer." "Face it, we don't stand a chance." "Okay, men." "Maybe we don't have all those things." "Maybe Waldo has more money than we do." "Maybe he has more of everything than we do." "But this it." "Let's go in there together, as a team and give it our best." "At least we'll know we tried." "HOST:" "And now, last but certainly not least, our final act." "I'm intrigued by their name when I saw it." "Please welcome the one and only" "International Silver String Submarine Band." "(SCATTERED APPLAUSE)" "Hi, everybody." "Tonight, we're going to perform I Got You, Babe." "It's an oldie, but a goodie." "And we'd like to dedicate it to a very special lady who's here tonight." "Ready, gang?" "RASCALS:" "Ready." "And a one and a two and a... (PLAYING TUNELESSLY)" "(YAWNING)" "(SINGING) They say we're young And we don't know" "We won't find out until we grow" "Well, I don't know if all that's true" "'Cause you got me and baby, I got you" "Babe" "I got you, babe" "I got you, babe" "I got flowers In the spring" "I got you" "To wear my ring" "And when I'm sad" "You're a clown" "And if I get scared" "You're always around" "Don't let them say your hair's too long (CHEERING)" "'Cause I don't care With you I can't go wrong" "Excuse me a second." "I have to handle something." "Okay." "Then put your little hand in mine" "There ain't no hill Or mountain we can't climb" "(GASPS) Waldo?" "What are you doing?" "Setting off the fire alarm." "Those Silver String Slimeballs can't win if they can't finish their act." "But that would be cheating." "That would be winning." "You want to win, don't you?" "It's not winning if you don't win fairly, Waldo." "I just can't believe you would do something this sleazy." "Like my dad always says," ""It's not how you play the game, it's winning that counts."" "No, you're not, Waldo." "Huh?" "(GRUNTS)" "What kind of girl are you?" "The kind who doesn't like cheaters and who has a brown belt in karate. (SCOFFS)" "Doesn't matter." "They'll never win anyways." "When I'm sad" "You're a clown" "And if I get scared" "You're always around" "Don't let them say your hair's too long" "'Cause I don't care" "With you I can't go wrong" "Then put your little hand in mine" "There ain't no hill Or mountain we can't climb" "Aw...
