Honey I Blew Up the Kid Page #3

He's family, and he just wanted to see

the lab, and I... and I brought him here.

The man's a genius.

Did you see the size of his head?

An extended brainpan.

Extended brainpan?

Bafroom.

- No bathroom right now, Adam.

Did he say 'bathroom'?

- Bafoon. Bafoon. Yugoslavian.

It's a term of, uh, of appreciation.

'Bafoon:
Thank you for bringing me down

here on a Saturday to the lab...

...to look around,' that's all.

How long before we can restore

the system from the backups?

Well, that doesn't concern you.

You're off the project.

You don't have the authority

to make that decision.

Well, maybe I don't.

So why don't you call Clifford Sterling

personally and plead your case.

However, after this morning's little

escapade, and the time and money...

...it'll cost Sterling Labs...

I don't think the old man

will have a great deal of sympathy.

So I hope you'll spare yourself

the embarrassment of having...

...to be escorted to the gate.

Start working data restoration backwards

from 8:
56 this morning...

...to the exact time the system crashed.

I want to know what he was up to.

Why didn't you tell 'em, Dad?

I mean, at least then...

...they'd know that you were able to

make it work when nobody else could.

Look, Nick. Remember we made you kids

promise never, ever to tell anyone...

...you were accidentally shrunk

and lost for two days?

Yeah.

That's because we didn't want

you guys to become specimens,

to undergo countless tests...

...to go through endless observations

and who knows what else.

What about Adam?

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

What I do know is...

...we got to figure some way to fix this

before your mother gets home.

Hi, guys.

I'm home.

Where'd this come from?

What do we do?

- I don't know.

We could drive to Mexico,

Dad, and hide out.

Come back when he's bigger.

I mean, older.

Maybe she wouldn't notice then.

- No.

Honesty's the best policy, Nick.

I'll just explain.

Sure. It's not the first time

something like this has happened...

...to our family.

I'll just tell the truth.

- Then beg for mercy.

Coloured car.

What was that all about?

- Um, I had a little trouble...

...with the van.

L-I-I thought I put it in, uh, in-in

park, and it went into reverse...

'cause the 'P' and the...

and the 'R' look...

You're back early.

- Yeah, I-I took a cab from the airport.

You know, it really was silly.

Amy didn't need me at all.

Who's the man in the loud sport coat?

Stop. No. No, those are Nick's.

Well, Diane, that's what I wanted

to talk to you about. Now, the-the...

Sit down.

- Mom.

Sit down.

You know how sometimes

the-the things that I invent...

...don't always work

the way they're supposed to?

Sweetheart, you can tell me.

How bad can it be?

After all, it's not like you did

something to one of the kids again.

Wayne, where is Adam?

- Well, uh...

Who is that man in the van?

And where did this bunny come from?

All right, I confess. I did it.

- Did what?

Peekaboo.

I blew up the baby.

Mama fall down.

Mama?

How'd she take it?

- About like usual.

Mama sleeping?

I'll kill Wayne.

- You don't want to kill Wayne.

I want to kill Wayne.

What's he doing?

- He's playing with his toys.

Well, make him stop.

'Make him stop.'

Why didn't I think of that?

Adam.

Adam, stop fooling around.

Catch.

- Adam.

That was a real rocket.

- Let's go for a walk, Adam.

Play ball, Nick.

- Don't throw things at Nick.

Catch it.

- This is your last warning.

Okay, I'll give you one more warning.

Honey, shh, shh.

It's not as bad as it seems.

It almost couldn't be,

could it?

Well, I finally got him in his room.

Tell him to stay inside,

and close the door.

I did close the door.

He just opened his door.

And he decided to share it with us.

- I break off.

Oh, baby.

Adam, put the door down,

sweetheart.

Why don't you give

the door to Daddy, Adam?

Give Daddy the door, Adam.

- I fix it, I fix it.

Wait till the Vista Del Mar

Standards Committee sees this.

Maybe we shouldn't bother with it.

It's just a mailbox.

Little things have a way of

becoming very big things, Patty.

Let go of the door, Adam.

- No, my door.

Stop before someone gets hurt.

- Let go.

I fix it.

Don't fix it, Adam.

Just put down Mommy's coffee table.

Be careful, baby.

- Slow down, Adam. Ad-Ad-Adam.

Not my antique chair.

- Gentle. Gentle.

They remodelling in there?

- Come back. Come back here.

Adam. Adam.

Adam, sit down. Sit down, Adam.

- He's on this side.

He's yours.

- Oh, Adam.

This is not a game.

What do we do when we catch him?

- Adam, Adam, hang on.

Okay, wait. Okay.

You guys go that way. I'll go this way.

Hi, little guy.

Adam, put Daddy down.

Adam, put Daddy down.

Guitar.

- Not my room.

Adam. Adam, put down my guitar.

Put it down.

Get back here.

- Come on.

Get back.

All right, now.

That's enough, fellas. Stop.

Adam, sweetheart.

He's got my guitar.

- Nicky, he's just a baby.

He's not a baby.

He's a monster.

He's gonna break my guitar.

Come back here. Come back here.

- Come back, Adam.

Give me back my guitar.

Give it back, you brat.

Other way.

Guitar all gone.

- Got it. Here, hide it.

He targeted something.

But it's gonna take a lot more enhancing...

...to figure out what.

I can do it.

What do you suppose this is here?

- Condensation on the lens?

No, no, it's much too solid.

- How can you be sure?

I'm sure. It's not amorphous.

It's a mass. I can see.

Play in here with Daddy.

Play what?

- Play anything.

This should distract him.

- Great.

That's what it's all about

You put your right foot in

You put your right foot out

You put your right foot in

and you shake it all about...

You do the Hokey Pokey

and you turn yourself around

Yeah.

Dance, Adam.

- That's what it's all about...

Good. This foot, Adam.

- You do the Hokey Pokey...

Isn't this fun, Wayne?

- That's what it's all about

Clap your hands. Clap your hands.

You put your left foot in

- Put your left foot in. Good boy, Adam.

You put your left foot out...

You put your left foot in

and you shake it all about

Why are you closing the shutters?

So one of the neighbours doesn't

look in, see a seven-foot baby...

...and call the National Inquirer.

That's what it's all about

- Doorbell.

Who's that?

One of the neighbours.

- So far, your plan's working perfectly.

Hi.

- Hello.

Hello.

We heard shouting and a lot of noise...

...so we were just wondering

if everything was all right.

Oh, yes, everything's fine.

We were just entertaining.

Uncle Yanosh.

- Uncle Yanersh.

You put your whole self in

You put your whole self out

Not too hard.

You're denting the floor.

Bye.

- Dad, help me. He's got me.

He's breaking my ribs.

Oh, don't do that, Adam.

My God, it appears to have three eyes.

A new life-form of some sort?

Try scaling up the window.

This could be big.

- This could be very big.

Well, I think you did a great job with

these. This should really distract him.
