"That's why I watch it at your house." "Things will cool off after today." "Dad has his big "show and tell" at the lab." "Zap!" "It works!" "It really works!" "Nick, get real." "The subject..." "has disappeared." "No, it's not that." "Mom and Dad had an argument last night, and Mom spent the night at Grandma's." "I think she needed a rest." "Her and me, both." "Yeah, okay." "Okay." "Bye." "Amy, when's Mom coming home?" "She's working, Nick." "She'll be home this afternoon." "[Zapping Sound]" "If only Dad could get that machine to work." "[Bell Rings]" "[Bell Rings]" "Breakfast."

"Szalinski, give it a rest!" "It's Saturday!" "It's construction, honey." "You of all people should understand that." "But I want some sleep." "We've got a 4-hour drive ahead of us." "I think he should have consideration for others." " Give the guy a break." " [Crash]" "I'll give him a break." "I'll break his arm!" "Honey!" " [Mae] You're much bigger." " Szalinski!" "Hold it, Dad." "Don't move." " What are you doing?" " Defending the backyard." "My rod!" "[Thud]" "Dad!" "Am I bleeding?" "Honey, it's rubber." " I told you not to move." " What's on this thing?" " Super Glue." " Super Glue?" " Gotta mark trespassers." " I'm your father!" "Wash it off quick." "It's taking the skin off." " What's with this kid?" " He's 12." "Attila the Hun was 12 once, too."

"Everybody in my family's a comedian." "Everybody except you." "Darn right." "Look who's decided to join the land of the living." "Is Russell ready for his big fishing trip?" "Not really." "Not really?" "There's a big fish out there with your name on it." "Fishing's your thing, Dad, not mine." " What's the matter with him?" " Shhh!" "What?" "I see nothing wrong... with taking my son fishing." "I shouldn't say this, but he was cut from the football team." "Please." "He doesn't need to hear from you." " At his age, I was" " Captain of the team." "If my dad wanted me to go fishing" "He's too small for football." "He is not too small for football!" "When you say those things, you make him feel this big." "If he wants to feel big, he should act big." "Elbows up." " What's wrong with you?" " I'm on a diet." " No toxic waste." " Fine." "Here, Quark." "Eat it, Dad, before it gets cold." "Did you get the machine to work?" "Yeah." "A few more bugs to get out." "What about the conference?" "I've gotta get going." "Dad!" "Dad, wait."

"Look, Diane, if things go well, everything will change around here." "[Diane] I have a house to show, and then I'll be home." "[Diane] Good luck today." "Thanks." "Bye, honey." " What time is Mom coming home?" " Later." "We have to clean this place." "Nick, mow the lawn." "Amy... good luck." "I'm helping my dad with this new invention." "So, um," "I'll let you mow half my yard." "No, thanks." "Wow!" "With that?" "Yeah, and this." "Oh, it's a remote control!" "Tell you what." "Throw in a box of cookies, and I'll let you cut it all."

"The Forresters are coming, so come on!" "♪♪ [Loud Rock]" "♪♪ [Rock Music]" "Weird family." "Russell," "I know it seems strange when you look at me today, but when I was your age, I wasn't much bigger." "You've told me a million times." "Hear me out." "The point is, coach put me on these babies." "Know what happened?" "I put on 20 pounds of pure, unadulterated, blitz-the-quarterback and rip-his-head-off muscle." "I'll make you a little bet." "If you work out for 3 months, you will be throwing farther, running faster, and hitting harder than anybody else on that team." "Go ahead." "Um, Dad." "You know weights aren't my thing." "Fishing isn't your thing." "Weights aren't your thing." "What is your thing?" "I don't know," "But I'll keep you posted." "Until you do, you're trying these, and you're coming fishing with the family." "Clear?" "I can't hear you!" "Yes, sir." "That's better." "Lift with your legs, not with your back." "What am I doing wrong, Spike?" "Russell, you're not smoking a cigarette, are you?" "No, dear." "You know I've given that up." " Your stuff all loaded?" " Ready to fire." "You looking forward to it?" "Tubular!" "He's only 12 and already thinking about construction." "Why can't Russell be more like that?" "Just give him a chance." "Ron Thompson at the plate." "Bottom of the 9th." "Clutch situation." "The pitch!" "Oh, he's swinging like a rusty gate!" "He pumps once, pumps twice." "He's never been good on the high outside pitch." "Here comes the fastball!" "Grand... slam." "Hey, I didn't do it." "Nobody has to know." "Let's negotiate." "I'm your brother." "You don't fink on your own brother!" "Turn me in, and I'll tell how you spend your allowance." "Come on, Russ." "Either you tell them or I tell them, okay?" "You tell 'em." " Aren't you in the wrong yard?" " What's going on?" "Hi." "Um..." "I'm Russ Thompson from next door." "He has something to say, or I can tell her." "Okay." "I was playing with my ball." "It's not my ball exactly." "Just tell her what you did." "Their house is too close!" " He hit a baseball through your attic window." " He what?" "It shouldn't have been closed." "It's a nice day!" "We'll deduct from his allowance." "Dream on." "We'll have Dad pay for it." "We'll take it out of my allowance." "My ball?" "Until you pay, no man shall pass." "You've got nothing to say." "Cool it!" "Take him upstairs and get him his bail." " Clean up the mess, Nick." "I don't have time." " What?" "Come on." "This is what's wrong with the American justice system." "You like to dance, huh?" "How do you know?" "Well" " You could see me?" " No." "Yeah, I could, but I wasn't watching." "Awesome." "Your Dad's still in contact with his home planet." "My machine can substantially reduce... the size of bulky payloads and fuel supplies." "The savings to the space program would be staggering." "Mr. Szalinski," " are you saying size is no longer relative?" "Right, Professor." "All matter is made up of density and empty space." "If we can reduce the space in an object, we can shrink the object." "Where's your proof?" "When Einstein came up with the atomic bomb, did they ask him to prove it worked?" "You, Mr. Szalinski, are hardly Einstein." "I picked a name." "You shrunk one thing:" "the size of this audience." "Gentlemen, ladies, I'm going to lunch." "Wayne?" "Wayne!" " Hi, Dr. Brainard." " Don't take it too hard." "It takes time to convince people without proof." "I appreciate it." "Thanks a lot." "You were right about the electric flea collar." "The extension cord was a bad idea." "What could be taking them so long?" "I am not missing the mall today." "Nick!" "Nick, if you guys are hiding up here, it's not funny." "Nick, you know what Dad said." "You're not supposed to be playing up here." "Where are we?" "What happened?" " Amy!" " Russ!" "Amy!" "Nicky." "Ron?" "Nick, what happened?" "We're all the size of boogers!" "[Barking]" "Be quiet, Quark!" "Nick, what did you do?" "Me?" "It was his ball." "Shut up!" "We need Dad." "He'll know what to do." "[Telephone Rings]" "[Amy] Nick, if that's Paul Tate, I'm gonna kill you." "[Phone Rings]" "Can somebody get that?" " What's that?" " It's Dad's thinking couch." "Amy?" "Nick?" "Hello?" "It's not for you." " [Barking]" " What is it?" "Nick!" "Listen." "Are you guys home?" "Sounds like Dad." "He'll fix us." "Mr. Szalinski, up here!" "Up here, Dad!" "Over there by the door." " Is anybody up there?" " Get off and give us a hand!" "Nick?" "Amy?" " [Ron] Hey, Amy, your date's here." " Oh, gross." "Watch out for the crack!" "[Amy] Hurry up." "He's coming!" "Right here, Mr. Szalinski." "Dad, right here!" "Help, help!" "Where's my couch?" " What is he, deaf?" " Don't you get it?" "We're too small." "He can't hear us." "Dad!" "I don't believe this." "What a day." "This is all your fault." "No, Dad, it works!" "Don't do it!" "Run!" "Stay there!" "There's glass everywhere." "No!" "Ahhhh!" "Help!" "No!" "Ahhhh!" "Not now, Quark." "[Russ] Do they get your trash the same day they get ours?" " Ow!" " Nick?" " I'm over here." " Then whose arm is this?" "[Ron] I'm not waiting to find out." "Oh, my God." "Reminds me of the backyard." "[Russ] Something tells me we're not going fishing this weekend." "[Ron] That should make you happy." "[Russ] Blow it out your shorts." "Can Dad fix us?" "I think so." "[Amy] We just have to get back to the house." "Not to your house." "I'm going home." "Come on, Russ." "Russ?" "Tell me the truth." "Can your dad help us?" "Russ, we're supposed to go fishing." "Are you going as bait?" "What a witch!" "Russ, are you coming?" "We can't stay here." "I think we should stick together." "Well, come on." "Nicky!" "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto." "[Nick] I don't think we're in the food chain anymore, Dorothy." "Come on, Ron." "We're gonna go with them." "You let a girl tell you what to do?" "Down here, you listen to me." "You're gonna do what I say!" "Run!" "Brave Sir Russell Thompson, stalking the rogue butterfly." "Knock it off, Ron." "We're now... a quarter of an inch tall, and 64 feet from the house." "That's the equivalent of 3.2 miles." "That's a long way, even for a man of science." "[Amy] I've got 6 hours to get home, get big, and get to the mall." "Now get moving!" "[Nick] That butterfly had a wingspan of 42 feet!" "[Amy] Nick!" "Hi." "Hi." " Look, Diane." " Guess what!" " I sold a house." " That's great!" "The Boorsteins bought that big estate." "I only had to show it to them 12 times." "How'd your conference go?" "I got a lot of laughs." " Oh, Wayne." " I failed, Diane." "I'm just gonna get my old job back, if I can." "Things are gonna be different." "[Diane] Different." "Right." "Where are the kids?" "I haven't seen them since this morning." "Did you tell them I was coming home?" "That's why they cleaned up." "I see." "They're probably at the mall." "Want to hear something strange?" "My thinking couch is missing." "The one from the attic?" "Yeah." "Hey, Ron." "This is better than those nature hikes" "Nick, don't you ever pick up your toys?" "What a wimp." "[Nick] I've been looking for that guy." "It's already 1:00." "So much for the mall." "What if time shrunk, too?" "It's hours to us, but years to the rest of the world." "Cool!" "My teachers would all be retired." "[Nick] Time doesn't exist" "[Ron] What's a river doing in your yard?" "It's not a river, dope." "It could be a stream of dog pee." "[Ron] Let's swim it." "Have a ball, baby." "I'm not swimming in that." "Hey, if we could get some rope, we could make a log bridge!" "If we had some logs." "Quark!" " Your dog?" " Yeah." "[Amy] Quark can't hear us." "Dogs have great ears." "If we can get on him, he'll take us to the house." "[Whistles]" "What's wrong?" "He can't whistle." "[Nick] Let's get higher up." "You know how to whistle." "Just put your lips together and blow." "[Nick] From the top of that flower, we could see over the grass." "Let's climb!" "No, Patty, there's nothing to worry about." "Just have Amy call me if you hear from her." "Amy's not at Patty's." "Nick's not at the Koestlers'." "They've got to be somewhere." "Did you check next door?" "At the Thompsons'?" "They'd rather be in school." "Nick, be careful." "Yes, Mother." "I'll go up with them." "[Nick] It's Quark!" "Oh, no!" "What?" "It's that stupid cat of theirs!" " Our cat is not stupid." " It just chased Quark away!" "Ahhhh!" "Hang on, Nick!" "I can't!" "I'm slipping!" "Whoa!" "Nicky." "Get out of there!" "You're allergic to pollen!" "It's too big!" "I'm too little to breathe it in!" "Diane." "Hi, Mae." " We haven't seen you around much lately." " I've been working." "Have you seen Ronnie or Russ?" "I can't find Nick and Amy." "If you see them," " would you send them home right away?" " Sure." "Same thing if you see mine." "Russell, the Szalinski kids are missing, too." "If they're smart, they joined the circus." "They know we're leaving." "Ronald?" "Russell?" "Amy?" "Nick?" "Amy?" " What is it?" " Sounds like Mom." "Sounds more like a swarm of" "Bees!" "Amy, get him off of me!" "Nicky!" "Get him away!" "Hold on!" "Russ!" "Nicky!" "Nick, give me your hand!" "Hold on!" "We're never gonna find Russ." "It's your dad's fault." "Shut up!" "My brother's up there, too." " Help!" " Ahhhh!" "Russ, don't let go!" "Hold on!" "Help!" "I'm getting worried." "I'll look at the mall." "You stay in case they come back." "Okay." "Hey, Szalinski!" "Your lawn's beginning to look like the Amazon." "Producing oxygen, Russ." "We gotta do our part." "The jungles are receding everywhere." "[Children Scream]" "[Children] Stop!" "We're on the bee!" "[Children] Stop!" "Don't kill us!" "Stop it!" "Whoa!" "Hold on, Nick!" "We're going down!" "Ahhhh!" "Wayne, if the Boorsteins come by, their escrow papers are in my briefcase." "Think you can handle that?" " There was a bee on me." " Yeah, right." "Wait a second." "Nick doesn't play baseball." "[Ron] I just figured it out." "I never woke up." "This is all a bad dream." " Ron, get up." " You're just a nightmare!" "When I get up, I'll be going fishing." "I'm warning you." "♪ Hmmm-mmm-mmm ♪" "Okay, Ron, maybe you're right." "Maybe this is just a bad dream." "But if it is, would this hurt?" " Ow!" " Get up!" "If you were my brother, I'd put myself up for adoption." "[Ron] I hope your face ends up on a milk carton." "My chair." "My couch." "It works." "Nick?" "Amy?" "Can you hear me?" "Nick." "Uh-huh." "Nick?" "Nick!" "Nick!" "You okay?" "When we crashed, my entire life flashed before my eyes." "It didn't take too long." "I'm scared, Russ." "We could be anywhere." "I think we're still in your yard." "How do you know?" "The grass would be shorter." "We've gotta find Ron and Amy." "He'll go to jail." "Your mother, too." "She paid for it, so she's an accomplice." "I'll tell you once more to shut up!" "Then you'll smack me?" "You'll go to jail, too." "After a big bee ate my brother, you smacked me around." "No jury would fail to convict you." "The Szalinski family will be in jail for life!" "Look." "My dad's machine works." "When he gets home and fixes us all, we're gonna be so rich, you'll regret this." "Amy, you know I've always liked your family." "Your dad's a real nice guy." "He's not as weird as I thought." "I love you and Nick like my own brother and sister." "[Ron] My dad doesn't understand your dad." "Your dad doesn't understand anything." "Ahhhh!" "Ron, where are you?" "Run, Nick!" "Whoa!" "Get up!" "Ahhhh!" "Get in there!" "Get out of there!" "Mr. Szalinski, we're the Boorsteins." "Get off the grass!" "Get off!" "Up there!" "Nicky!" "Ahhhh!" " Amy!" " Under that ledge!" "It's very delicate, the lawn." "You don't want to over-water, really." "Get her!" "Amy?" "Get away!" "Please don't die." "Amy." "[Phone Rings]" "[Barking]" "No, Cathy." "I just thought they might have stopped by." "If you see them, just send them home." "Okay." "You have a good weekend." "This is getting ridiculous." "Where the hell are those kids?" "[Horn Honks]" "Oh, no." "You've brought the dog." "No more about the cat!" "What do we tell them?" "The truth." "What kind of an excuse is that?" "Don!" "How about catching" " Good morning, Russell." " Hi, Gloria." "Say "good morning, " Gigi." "The fishing looks stellar." "Let's make exhaust!" "I called Charlie at Bass Lake." "The fish are jumping!" "Donald, that man is flying." "Right, Gloria." "I don't think we can make it." "You go on ahead." "What do you mean?" "We're caravanning." " Donald" " Not now!" "You'll lose the deposit." "Confidentially," "Mae hasn't been feeling too well." "Plumbing." "Plumbing?" "This isn't the big Russ Thompson I know." "Plumbing wouldn't stop him!" "Especially with an $80 deposit!" "Hook a big one for me, okay?" "Don;" "Let's roll, Gloria." "Come on, get in." " Did you tell him the truth?" " Honey." " Did they take it okay?" " Mae." "[Horn Honks] 80 bucks, Mae." "Non-refundable!" "Those kids are grounded!" "[Amy] Mud is still mud, no matter how small you are." "Some stores actually charge for this stuff." "That was really great, what you did for Nick." "[Nick] What about you, Amy?" "He saved you, too." "I know." "Where'd you learn artificial respiration?" "French class, kid." "Oh." "French class?" "How about a truce, okay?" "Okay." "♪ Mm-hmmm ♪" "♪ Hmm-mmm-hmm ♪" "I think this is the flagstone in the middle of the yard." " You mean we're halfway there?" " I think so." "[Russ] Let's go!" "French class." "I'd die for a strawberry sundae... with chocolate sprinkles and a banana split." "I could eat a corn dog the size of a truck." "Ron, if you had a corn dog, it would be the size of a truck." "I've died and gone to heaven." "It's as big as a house!" "It's mine!" "[Ron] I got dibs on the cream filling!" "[Amy] Nick, it's one of your cookies!" "They're never gonna believe this at school." "[Nick] I could just see the note to the teacher." ""Dear Miss Mason," "Nicky's not absent, he's pinned to this note."" "[Munching Sound]" "Ahhhh!" "Quick, over here." "Right there!" "Nicky, hurry!" "If only we had some bug spray." "Quiet." "To him we're the bugs." "If he finds us, he'll eat us." "It's our cookie!" "Let's fight for it!" "It's only one ant!" "There's never just one ant!" "The rest will be here any minute." "Wait!" "Ants are fast!" "We could ride him... and get to the house in no time!" "[Amy] Forget it, Nick!" "He could take us all." "Ants can lift 50 times their weight." "That's like bench-pressing a bulldozer!" "Think of what he could do to us." "Let's go before he brings the rest." "He's just a baby." "Russ?" "[Russ] I say that ant is ours!" "Yeah!" "You guys!" "Geronimo!" "Get him!" "Nicky!" "Be careful!" "Yee-haa!" "Over there!" "Whoa!" "Nicky, come back!" "Look out!" "The others will come!" " Nicky!" " Let's go!" "Nicky, get off of him!" "You're allergic to ants!" "Whoa!" "Nicky, get away!" "Whoa!" "Look at the head!" "Ron, go for it!" "Hey, hello!" "Ant!" "[Whistle]" "[Amy] Nice ant." "Come on." "You guys, come on." "[Amy] Somebody take this cookie!" "Nicky, take this!" "Help!" "Nicky!" "Come on, you guys." "This is your ant!" "She did it." "Somebody help me!" "Your sister's not bad," " for a girl." " Of course." "Quark, sit!" "Stop." "Sit, boy!" "Get away from there." "Quark, come on." "Quark!" "Quark!" "Get away." "Drop it!" "Whoa, whoa!" "Whoa, whoa!" "Whoa!" "Ahhhh!" "Ahhhh!" "Officer, we'd appreciate you sending somebody by." "Okay, it's 646" "That guy's got serious problems." "646 Sycamore." "Yes." "[Nick] Great idea, Russ, even if the boy genius... didn't think of it." "Drawbridge!" "At this rate, we'll be home by dinner." "Maybe I can still go out... with Patty." "Our weekend's shot." "No camping now." "I know Dad." "We're grounded." "We are camping, only better." "It's like a safari." "Hey, I never thought of it that way." "[Ron] Onward!" "Amy?" "Nick?" "Wayne?" "I'd like to report 2 missing children." "[Russ] Instead of flapping your gums" "[Officer] Don't worry." "This happens often." "You have a little spat" " A spat?" " You were upset about Russ quitting the team." " I thought he was cut!" " He was afraid to tell you." "What do you mean he was afraid?" " I always listen!" " Uh-huh." " What's "uh-huh" mean?" " Russell!" "I don't like the way he said it." "Runaways" "My kids did not run away." "They're happy kids!" "I can't believe this." "He's writing again!" " Don't you say anything?" " Uh-huh." "Russell!" "Why do I feel on trial?" " I can't imagine." " What do you mean?" "I think we have enough to start." "Please call us if you hear from the boys." "Fine." "Don't they need a warrant or something?" "Russell, there's a few things about yourself..." "I think you should know." "Like what?" "Another missing children report." "644 Sycamore." "That's next door." "I called the police." "What's on your head?" " I was looking for the kids." " In a coal mine?" " They're in the backyard." " They are?" "I've got something important to tell you." "That is the couch from the attic." "You can see where Quark chewed the arms." "It's my thinking couch." "Wayne, are you trying to tell me..." "You did it?" "It works?" "The machine works?" " Do the kids know?" " Well, yeah." "The kids know." " That's great." " It's not that great." " Why?" " I shrunk the kids, and the Thompson kids." "They're this big." " What?" " I threw them out." " [Doorbell]" " I'll get the door." "Did you report some missing children?" "There must be some mistake." "Ours are in the backyard." "Right, honey?" "She's" "Thank you!" "[Yawn]" "How are you doing, boy?" "How about a pit stop?" "What is it, Ron?" "Antie needs a recharge." "You deserve this." "We won't make it before dark." "Even if we did, the mall would be closed." "[Ron] Why do you eat so fast?" "Hey, that's my hand." "Let's let him go." "He's worn out." "It's okay with me." "Yeah, me too, I guess." "Help me get off the harness." "You can go now." "We'll start walking." "He'll get the idea." "Thanks for the lift, Antie." "You're free." "Go home." "Shoo!" "Looks like you've got a new pet." "Dumb ant doesn't know what's best." "Go on!" "Go home!" "Mom will never let me keep you." "Amy?" "Nick?" " Are you there?" " Nicky!" "Where are you?" "Any luck?" "No." "Nick?" "Amy?" "[Wayne] Do you see anything yet?" "It's too thick." "It should be." "It's grass!" " Keep looking." "Nick?" " Amy?" "What's that?" "Ow!" "Watch out!" "Come on." "Where did that come from?" "[Russ] It's Dad's brand." "[Ron] He told us he quit!" "Looks like he started up again." "No, he only smokes... when he's really worried." "[Nick Coughs]" "Nicky, be careful!" "Hey, maybe we can use this." "Cool!" "Now, we can see in the dark!" "[Ron] Antie, look!" "Headlights!" "[Russ] I didn't force him to join the team." "[Mae] You always make such a big deal out of sports!" " Sports build character." " No, they build muscle." "Wayne?" "Yeah?" "We've got to tell the Thompsons." "Do you take me... for a complete idiot?" " How did this happen?" " Wait." "How did this happen?" "The machine analyzes the molecular structure." " Through laser inversion" " Wait." "I think the Thompsons need to see the couch." "This guy is a waste of skin." "This is a microscope." "I know." "Look in there." "All right." "That's the couch that was over here... until the machine shrunk it." "Big deal." "They sell doll furniture at swap meets!" "Why didn't you tell us earlier?" "Until now, the machine just blew things up." "It blew up my kids?" "No, if it had," " there'd be pieces of them everywhere." " Wayne!" "Sorry." "Look, I'm positive about this, okay?" "The machine shrunk our kids." " You need a shrink!" " Russell!" "You are a nut-case." "I've got an air hammer." "If you hurt my kids, there's going to be pieces of you all over the place!" "I think that went well." "We should have them over more often." "[Russ On Phone] Well, it's a priority for me." "Why don't you do what you're paid to do?" "Find my kids." "[Click]" "I thought you didn't believe him." "Well, I don't." "Electricity's cheap." "Come on!" "Look at this!" "We don't have to sleep on the ground." " What is it?" " One of my Legos." "[Nick] Give me a boost!" "Hey." "Not bad." "Yeah." "I don't even have to brush my teeth!" "[Ron] Quit pushing!" " Move over!" " You move over!" " You take that one." " Are you sure?" "Yeah." "I'd rather sleep down here." "Night, Antie." " Will they be warm enough?" " They look fine to me." "You think you'll be warm enough?" "Good night, Russ." "Good night, Amy." "[Ron, Nick] Good night, Amy." "Sorry, boy." "I need the parts." "[Electronic "Meow"]" "Are you okay?" "I'm scared." "Somehow, I feel this is all our fault." "It's my fault." "I start working on something, and I don't think about anything else." "I should have been more careful." "I'm sorry." "That's not what I meant." "You know, it's not important... if I sell another house, or if you get a grant this year or next." "We've just got to get this family back together." "I feel the same way." "I've got to fix the machine." "You should get some sleep." "We've got to get up early to look for them." "No, I couldn't sleep, not with my babies out here all alone." "Don't worry." "They've got the Thompson kids." "They'll be fine." "That's another worry," "Amy in the dark... with little Russ Thompson." "Get some rest." "They'd better behave themselves." "[Amy] It's funny." "The moon looks the same size... whether you're big or small." "Yeah." "Tell that to my dad." "Does he pick on you about your size?" "The bigger the guy, the bigger the moon." "It's just the way he thinks." "Russ?" "Yeah?" "How come you never came over?" "I mean, you talked to me once or twice last year." "I would've come by." "I wanted to, but..." "I thought you were too popular to notice me." "I was too popular to notice." "I was stupid." "[Growl]" "Ahhhh!" "Get down!" "Hurry!" "Ron, get down!" "Run!" "Ahhhh!" "[Ron] Russ, help!" "Help him!" "Russ!" "Stay here!" "No!" "Ron, get down, quick!" "Get away!" "Ahhhh!" "Come on, Ron!" "Hurry!" "[Ron] He could get killed!" "Do something!" "He's just a baby." "We've got to help him." "Now!" "Get him!" "Let him go!" "Where's Antie?" " Antie?" " There!" "He looks hurt." "No!" "You saved my life." "It's gonna be okay." "Where are you going?" "Nature calls." "Boys on the right, girls on the left." "I must look absolutely gross." "[Snoring]" "I love you, Wayne Szalinski." "Let's get moving." " It can't be much farther." " Can't we sleep?" "Somethings very weird here." "What is it?" "Earthquake!" "No, worse." "Lawn mower!" "Ahhhh!" "Nicky!" "What is this?" "I hope whatever lived here has moved out." "This is the burrow of a lumbricus terrestris." " What?" " An earthworm." "They're dormant now." "Plug that in." "I'm almost done here." " [Engine Sound]" " Is that a chain-saw?" "No, it sounds more like our lawn mower." "Tommy, stop the lawn mower!" "Tommy." "Stop!" "Tommy, Tommy!" "Don't go on the grass!" "Together!" "One, two, three," " Tommy!" " Tommy!" "Tommy!" "I think we'll be safe in here." "Ahhhh!" "Nicky!" "Come on, come on!" "No!" "Ahhhh!" "Amy, don't let go!" "Ahhhh!" "Ahhhh!" "Hold on!" "Give me that thing!" "[Screams]" " Nick said I could!" " When?" "Did you see him this morning?" "Yesterday." "Sorry I'm so late." "It's okay." "Go through the house." "It's safer." "Safer?" "I thought my folks were weird." "My knee." "Is everyone okay?" "I feel like a banana whip." "Nick, are you all right?" "Nicky?" "Dad?" "Mom!" "We're down here!" "Over here!" "Mr. Szalinski!" "We'll make it." "[Ron] They'll never find us." "We were under their noses... and they didn't even see us!" "Don't panic." "We'll find a way." "I'm not panicked." "Who's panicked?" "Nobody's panicked!" "[Nick] Quark!" "Come on, everybody, Grab on!" "[Amy] Go inside, Quark, and find Dad!" "[Hiss]" "[Growl]" "[Barking]" "Nicky!" "What's gotten into you?" "Dad!" "I think he just misses the kids." "Dad, don't!" "No!" "Dad!" "At their size, that backyard is like ten miles." "Giant blades of grass, huge insects." "It's a jungle." "They'll head for the house." "Dad!" "You're probably right." "No!" "Help, Dad!" "No, Dad!" "Help!" "No, don't!" "Keep our eyes open." "Help!" "Don't eat me!" "Ow!" "Look at this." "I'm down here, Dad!" " It's Nick!" " Nicky!" "Hi, baby!" "He's pointing at something." "It's the rest." "I'll get the Thompsons." "Hang on, kids!" "It worked on the kids." "I don't get it." "Better get it, Szalinski." "Russ, you're not helping." "So, I'm not helping." "[Quiet Shout]" "Nick's trying to say something." "I can't make it out." "Baseball, Dad!" "What are you saying, Nick?" "Swinging?" " Sounds like" " It's semaphore." "Wait!" "Flapping!" "[Wayne] Pitching." "Throwing." "Baseball!" "Baseball?" "Good, honey." "Holy smokes." "It's the laser!" "I got it." "The ball came through the window, activated the machine, and got in the path of the laser." "Why didn't I think of this before?" " I could take a wild guess." " Shhh." "Too much heat blew things up!" "All right." "Nicky!" "Diane, you take" "This gizmo's been blowing up fruit." "You're not trying it on my kids first!" "You know, maybe I should do it on myself." "I'll show you how to work the machine." "No, no!" "Do it on me." "Are you sure?" "How'd those get there?" "Okay, Szalinski, shoot." "This should work." "Huh?" "Stand back!" "Honey, you're so brave." "Come on, Mae." "Russ, are you okay?" "Yeah, why?" "So, if this works, do you want to go to the dance Friday?" "Can you dance?" "Not really." "I'd love to." "Oh, Russ, are you okay?" "I knew my boys wouldn't run away." "Are you and Dad okay?" "Yeah." "We're great." "[Mae] Don't worry, honey." "[Ron] He saved me from a giant scorpion." "I was right." "It was the ball." "You were right." "You were brilliant!" "I wanted to go fishing, Dad." "I didn't mean to mess up." " I know, Ronnie." " Dad?" "If you really want me back on the team" "I only care about you!" "I'm proud of you." "Szalinski." "Let's eat!" " Honey, make a toast." " I love toasts." "To the Thompsons and the Szalinskis, and many more dinners together." "We'll be having leftovers!" "Wonder what's for dinner." "I guess I gotta carve this thing." "Want to use my chain-saw?" "Hey, wait!" "I get it!" "French class!" "Ha-ha!"
