Ha Ha. Bye.

Eech.

Anyway,

Don't Get Me Wrong.

I Know This Is

Kind Of Weird,

But I Loved My Parents.

And They Really Wanted

What Was Best For Me,

And That's Great, Ok?

Now, I Already Told You

That I Was Lost

But I Didn't Know It.

I Did Know Something

Was Wrong, Though,

But I Thought Maybe It Was

Just My Science Fair Project.

[Tap On Door]

Hey, Kiddo.

Hey, Dad.

So How's It Goin'?

Pretty Good.

Pretty Good.

Need Any Help?

Uh, No.

That's Ok.

All Right.

That's Probably

For The Best.

The Truth Is,

I Really Wouldn't

Be Much Help

With This Science

Stuff. Woof.

You Know, I Was

Only Good At One

Thing In High School.

What Was That?

Photography.

No, Wait. How Come

When You Take Those

Pictures Of Me And Mom,

We're Usually, Like,

Way Out Of Focus?

Because

I Had To Give It Up

A Long Time Ago.

You Know, Art

And Music, Photography

Just Weren't

Both:
Part Of The Plan.

[Growls]

Well, I Think

It Looks Like

A Winner.

I Think It's Gonna

Be The First Of Many,

Many Blue Ribbons.

Right?

Yeah. Well,

We'll Know Friday Night.

Yeah, We Will.

You'll Make Us Proud,

Honey.

You Always Do.

All Right, Honey.

Call Me If You Need

Anything Else.

Okey-Dokey.

Who Were We Kidding?

Me Win The Blue Ribbon?

Although I Gotta Say,

I Was Pretty Proud

Of My Project.

Man, OVER P.A.:

And The Winner Is...Jamie Grover

For Revolutionizing Modern

Physics In Her Free Time!

Oh, Get Real.

P.A.:
And The Winner Is...

Bradley Brown For His

Electromagnetic Power Project.

Great Job, You Stupid

Genius, You.

Hey, I Think Jamie's

Project's Great, Too.

I Could Have Never Gotten

That To Work.

Hey, Everybody!

Hey, Honey.

I'm Very Proud Of You.

Hi, Zoe.

Bradley,

Congratulations Again.

I'm Sure Your Parents

Will Be Very Proud.

Relieved, Really.

But It's Something.

Well, We'll See You

At Home.

Oh, And I Found

A Great Essay Contest

For You To Enter.

I'll Tell Ya

All About It.

Good Job.

All Right,

See You Guys.

Bye.

Bye-Bye.

And The Plan

Continues.

You Know,

Sometimes

My Parents--

Your Parents

Love You.

I Know That.

But I Wish I Could

Just Have A Few Days

Where I Wasn't

The Center

Of Their Lives.

I Can't Give Them

What They Want.

I Want To,

But I Just Can't.

Here's Another Little

Rule Of Thumb For You.

Be Careful

What You Wish For.

What Are We

Gonna Tell Jamie?

What Will You

Tell Me About What?

We Were, Um...

What I Meant Was, Um...

Your Father Has

Something To Say.

Honey...

So, Jamie, Your Mom...

Is, Um, Pregnant.

That's Great, Mom!

Yeah.

That Wasn't So Hard.

No, I Guess,

But I Don't Understand

How This Could Happen.

Well, Mom,

As I Remember,

You Said

That When 2 People

Fall So Madly In Love

With Each Other That--

No, That's Not

What I Meant.

Jamie...

I'm...

Really--

Really, Really,

Really, Really...

Really Pregnant.

Uh-Oh

Oh, Here We Go Now

Now, I Can Try To

Build This Into

A Big Moment Of Surprise,

But You Already Know

What's Going On.

Anyone Remember?

Right, Mom's

Having Quintuplets.

You're Very Good.

Jim:
Hey, Let's

Clean This Place Out.

The Clock Is Tickin',

And We Can't Stop

Can't Stop

Open A Soda Pop

And Bop-Shi-Bop-Shi-Bop

The Clock Is Tickin',

And We Can't Stop

We Have A Plan

We Have A Definite Plan

To Level The Vibes

To Level

The Vibes Again

Oh, Yeah, Oh, Yeah

Way Overdue

For A Superlative Slam

Yeah, Yeah

A Wicked Time

To The End, So--

Open A Soda Pop,

Watch It Fizz And Pop

The Clock Is Tickin',

And We Can't Stop

Can't Stop

Open A Soda Pop

And Bop-Shi-Bop-Shi-Bop

The Clock Is Tickin'...

The Moment I Heard

Mom Was Pregnant,

I Knew My Life

Was Gonna Change--

No More Only Child

And No More

Nonstop Attention.

My Greatest Wish

Had Been Granted

In The Most Unexpected Way.

Those Kids

Were Gonna Save Me.

Ok, Sure,

So It Takes

Months And Months

For Babies To Arrive,

And During That Time,

Nothing Really Changed.

Well, Except

For Mom's Belly.

Brad Was Still A Genius,

Zoe Was Completely Happy,

And The School,

Unfortunately,

Kept Giving Out

Report Cards.

But I Knew, I Really Knew

That Things Would Be

Different Soon.

You Knew It Too,

Didn't You?

Good.

Ooh! Ooh!

Oh, Ooh.

[Lamaze Breathing]

Ooh. Ooh!

Hey, Mom,

I Got My Report--

Shh! Contraction!

Hey, Dad,

I Got Another Report--

Yeah. Here.

Hold This.

Babies Coming.

Ok, Ok, Honey.

Breathe. Breathe.

Oh, This Is So Exciting.

Ok, Honey,

You Know What?

I Got--

I Got Your Clothes,

And Some Other Clothes

Just In Case,

And Then I Got

That Videotape

And All The Magazines

You Wanted.

Oh, Honey,

You're So Beautiful.

Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

Shoes!

I Got To Get Shoes!

Ok. No, No,

Get The Right Shoes.

Get The Right Shoes.

Of Course,

Get The Right Shoes.

To The Car?

Mm-Hmm.

It Doesn't Matter.

Nancy:
Ok.

Jamie:
Ok.

Ok. I Got You.

Come On,

Come On.

Ok.

Was He This Crazy

When I Was Born?

No, He Was Calm

As A Cucumber,

Although He Did

Forget My Shoes.

Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

Gotta Get Shoes!

Shoes! Get The Shoes!

Whoa!

Honey, You Better

Go Check On Him.

Aah! And Hurry.

Ok. Ok.

Dad!

It's, Um, Uh...

I Don't Know,

It's, Um...

It's Quints.

Yeah...

It's Quints.

My Brothers And Sisters

Were The First Ever

Quintuplets In Our State.

They Were Famous.

When We Got Home, There Was

A Crowd Waiting For Us.

Well, Waiting For Them,

But It Was Still

Kinda Cool.

Let's Go Up And See

If We Can Get A Word

With The Parents.

There They Are,

Rock-A-Bye Baby]
