"His holiness says: | 'you're off your rocker...

"'if you don't look | inside the locker."'

It's a locker!

[All scream]

[Horn honking]

Look out!

Look out!

[All chattering]

Ooh.

Will you give me that?

Heh. It's easy.

Well, what is it?

It's a lookout off some road | or something.

It means...

Cherry Point.

How'd you get that?

Well, there's one of a chair.

That's a chair.

One of an "E."

That's "E."

Now, the pin-- | that's "point."

Chair-e-point.

Cherry point.

What about the ball?

[Laughs]

You idiot!

Of course.

MARVIN:
OK, I'll try.

ADAM:
Take it real easy.

OK. Scott, what's so funny?

You guys are lame.

What do you mean?

I played that machine | every Saturday of my life.

-I can win it in one try. | -You can? Well, come on.

No way. What do I look like, | a nerd or something?

I got some pride, you know.

Scott, I saw what happened | at miniature golf.

I'm really sorry.

Nice try, Marvin. | We got four quarters left.

[Sighs]

Every five minutes. | he's gotta cause trouble.

Well, if he wants | to leave, let him.

I've had it. Let's go, Marvin.

Adam, don't you realize your | brother swallowed his pride...

and helped us win that game | just so you'd notice?

[Sighs]

What are you doing?

[Tires screech]

I'm going after your brother.

He'll be all right.

Come on. | We can still win the game.

I'm not driving.

Hey. Flynch. Th-they--

ADAM:
You guys are crazy.

[Horn honks]

After all the work | we've done...

We can still win the game!

Adam, the game doesn't matter.

Don't you see? Scott's | always causing trouble...

because that's the only time you | ever pay any attention to him.

[Sighs]

Right now, | your brother needs you.

Needs me?

[Horn honking]

Scott? The only thing | he needs me for...

is so he can have | someone to bother.

And I suppose | it's too much bother...

for you to remember | Scott's birthday!

Get out of our way, | you big slugs.

Girls, you're looking | at the Meat Machine.

No one's been able | to penetrate our front line...

Ha ha ha ha!

[Giggling]

-Hey! | -Take cover!

[Giggling]

Quarters!

ALL:
Break!

Aim!

All right! I think it's time...

Let's all sit down | and discuss this calmly...

All I want to know is | where's the damn finish line?

I know where | the finish line is.

Hey, isn't that an old 240-B?

They used to use these | in all the old squad cars.

Does it still work?

Uh, yeah. In fact. | I just used it...

for one of the clues | in my Great All-Nighter.

Great All-Nighter?

Uh-huh. Allow me to explain.

This is the city.

I'm sorry, Laura.

[Horn beeping]

[Beeping]

Let's go find my brother.

-All right! | -All right!

Come on, kid.

You were gonna tell us | where the finish line is.

You don't owe | your brother anything.

-Scott! | -Scott!

ADAM:
Scott!

-Scott! | -Scott!

-Scott! | -Scott!

I'll handle this.

The situation requires | a delicate touch.

Hey...ha ha! | Tell you what, tiger.

You tell us where | the finish line is...

and I'll let you drive | the van there, OK?

Well?

The Bonaventure Hotel!

[Laughing maniacally]

Barf, Melio!

Show the little fellow | our gratitude.

[Laughing]

[Laughing]

Scott!

Scott...

Aw, Scott.

Adam, I told Harold's team | where the finish line is.

They're gonna win.

It's OK, Scott. | I'm just glad you're back.

-Scott, oh! | -Hey!

[Shouting]

Come on, men!

[Glass shattering]

Hey, here it is! | Hey, who's the wise guy?

Quick, give me a nickel!

How do you like that, Lavitus?

Ha ha! Those stupid | imbeciles can run around...

behaving like wild barbarians | all night for all I care!

Meanwhile, | we'll get the clue!

-Right! | -Quarter!

[Boom]

Oops! Ha ha ha!

-Right! | -Let's go, men!

[Yelling]

Come on, men, | let's get outta here!

Ha ha ha!

[Whooping]

[Crash]

[Laughing]

Little Harold! | Little Harold!

We have to go back | for little Harold!

No way, Lucille! | We're finally in the lead.

I'm not going back | for anything.

Oh, but, honeybuns, | that doll means a lot to me!

Yeah!

No way! Uh-uh!

You big meanie!

Yeah! You big fat meanie!

[Crying]

All I wanted was a doll...

You!

[Harold yelling]

Listen, let's go back | to my house for some coffee.

-OK. | -Fine.

Heh.

You know, there's just | one thing that bothers me.

What's that?

Out of all the other teams, | Harold's team's gonna win.

[Sighs] | Let's go.

[All talking]

Oh, really?

[Tires squealing]

[Horn beeps]

I'm sure he missed you, | too, Harold.

[Laughing]

To the Bonaventure Hotel!

[Cheering]

[Screaming]

And you did all | the rewiring yourself, huh?

Yeah, he did. Show him, Leon.

LEON:
It was great.

It's really a nice Job.

[Crash]

You big ape! Do your duty!

[Sighs] OK.

[Fweet]

Men...
