Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Page #3

---

get big and get to the mall.

Now get moving!

That butterfly had

a wingspan of 42 feet!

Nick!

Hi.

Hi.

- Guess what I s...

- Look, Diane...

- I sold a house.

- Really? That's great!

Yeah, you know that big estate?

The Boorsteins bought it.

I only had to show it

to them 12 times.

- How'd your conference go?

- Well, I got a lot of laughs.

- Oh, Wayne.

- I failed, Diane.

L-l... I'm just gonna get my old job

back, if I can get my old job back.

But from now on,

things are gonna be different.

Different.

Right.

- Where are the kids?

- I haven't seen them

since I left this morning.

- Well, did you tell

them I was coming home?

- Yeah, that's why

they cleaned things up.

I see. Oh, they're probably

just at the mall.

Do you wanna hear somethin' strange?

My thinking couch is missing.

- The one from the attic?

- Yeah.

Hey, Ron, this is a lot better than

those nature hikes Dad drags us...

Nick, don't you ever

pick up your toys?

- What a wimp!

- Been looking for that guy.

It's already 1:
00.

So much for the mall.

What if time shrunk too?

I mean, what if it's hours to us,

but it's years to the rest of the world?

Hey, that would be cool.

All my teachers would be retired.

Impossible. Time doesn't exist,

except as a...

- Oh, no.

- What's a river doing in your yard?

It's not a river, dope.

It could be a stream of dog pee,

and it'd look like a river to us.

Let's swim it.

- Have a ball, baby.

- I'm not swimming in that.

Hey! Hey, if we could

get some rope...

we could make a log bridge!

If... If we... If we had some logs.

- Quark!

- Your dog?

- Yeah.

- Quark can't hear us.

Yeah, he can!

Dogs have great ears.

If we can get on him, he'll take us

all the way back to the house.

Whistle.

- What's wrong?

- He can't whistle.

Let's get higher up.

You know how to whistle. You just

put your lips together and blow.

From the top of that flower,

we could see over the grass.

Let's climb.

No, Patty, no, no.

There's nothing to worry about.

Just have Amy call me if

you hear from her. Thanks.

Amy's not at Patty's and Nick's not at

the Koestlers'. I'm gonna call Betsy.

Well, they gotta 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.

It's Quark!

- Oh, no.

- What is it, Nick?

- It's that stupid cat of theirs!

- Our cat is not stupid.

- It just chased Quark away!

- It's Russ' stupid cat!

- Hang on, Nick!

- I can't! I'm slipping!

Nicky!

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.

- Well, I've been working a lot.

You haven't seen Ronnie

or Russ, have you?

You know something?

I can't find Nick and Amy.

If you see them, would you

send them home right away?

Oh, sure. Uh, same thing

if you see mine.

Russell, the Szalinski kids

are missing too.

If they're smart,

they ran away with the circus.

I don't know where they could be.

They know we're leaving.

Ronald?

Russell?

Amy?

Nick?

Amy?

- What is it?

- It sounds like Mom.

Sounds more like a swarm of...

Bees!

- Amy! Get him off of me!

- Nicky!

- Get him away!

- Hold on, Nick!

- Russ!

- Nicky!

Nick, give me your hand!

- Nick, hold on!

- Russ!

We're never gonna find Russ now.

It's all your stupid Dad's fault!

Shut up!

My brother's up there too.

Help!

Russ, don't let go!

Hold on!

Help!

I'm getting worried. I'm gonna go

to the mall and look for the kids.

Why don't you stay here

in case they come back?

Okay.

Hey, Szalinski!

Your lawn's beginning

to look like the Amazon.

Yeah. Producing oxygen, Russ.

We've all gotta do our part.

You know, the jungles

are receding everywhere.

Dad!

- Don't!

- Stop! Stop, please! We're on the bee!

Wh... Where is it? Come on!

- Stop! Don't kill us!

- Dad, don't kill us!

Stop it! Whoa!

Hold on, Nick!

We're goin' down!

Wayne...

if the Boorsteins come by,

their escrow papers are in my briefcase.

You think you can handle that?

- There was a bee on me.

- Yeah, right.

Wait a second.

Nick doesn't play baseball.

I just figured it out.

I never woke up this morning.

This is all a bad dream.

- Ron, get up.

- You're just a nightmare!

When I get up,

Dad and I'll be going fishing.

I'm warning you.

Okay, Ron.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe this is just all 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.

Yeah, I hope your face

ends up on a milk carton.

My chair.

My couch.

It works.

Nick? Amy?

Can you hear me?

Nick.

Mm-hmm.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick?

Are 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 now.

- I think we're still in your yard.

- How do you know?

Any other yard,

the grass would be shorter.

Come on. We gotta find

Ron and your sister.

...and he'll go to jail.

Your mother too.

After all, she's the one who paid

for it. That makes her an accomplice.

You know what it's like in jail?

I am gonna tell you

one more time to shut up!

And then what?

And then you'll smack me?

You'll go to jail too. I'll tell them

after a big bee ate my brother,

you smacked me around.

No jury in the world

would fail to convict you.

- The whole Szalinski family's

gonna be in jail for life.

- Look.

My dad's machine works.

When we get home and he fixes us all,

we're gonna be so rich.

You'll regret this.

Amy. You know,

I've always liked your family.

I mean, your dad's

a real nice guy.

He's not as weird as I thought he was,

and I love you and Nick

like my own brother and sister.

It's just that my dad

doesn't understand your dad.

Your dad doesn't understand anything.

- Amy!

- Ron, where are you?

Run, Nick!

Whoa! Oh! Ow!

- Russ! Russ!

- Get up!

Get in there!

Get out of there!

- Harold.

- Uh, Mr. Szalinski?

Uh, we're the Boorsteins.

Get off the grass!

Get off the grass!

Up there!

Nicky!

- Amy!

- Get under that ledge!

It's very delicate, the lawn.

You don't want

to overwater, really.

Get her!

Amy?

Get away.

Please don't die.

Amy.

No, Cathy, I just thought

they might have stopped by.

Okay, listen. If you see them,

would you send them home?

Okay. You have a good weekend.

This is getting ridiculous.

Where the hell are those kids?

Oh, no.

You had to bring the dog. I don't want

to hear any more about the cat.

It's the Forresters!

What are we gonna tell 'em?

- How 'bout the truth?

- Mae, what kind of an excuse is that?

Don!

How 'bout catching some...

- Good morning, Russell.

- Hi, Gloria.

Say good morning, Sushi.

Well, the fishing report

looks stellar. Let's make exhaust

while the sun still shines, huh?

- I called Charlie up at Bass Lake.

- I know.

- He's says they're jumpin' in the boat.

- Don...

- Oh, and I bought my new Fish-matist.

- Donald, that man over there is flying.
