Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild

Stuart, are you down there?

Yeah, Mom, I'm here.

Thank goodness.

You had me worried.

It's okay.

He's down in the basement.

- Have you finished packing yet?

- Yeah, Mom.

- Did you remember clean underpants?

- Yes.

- Well, we're leaving in...

- Five minutes.

I'll be right there.

Yes!

Hey, Mr. Big Game Hunter...

...you better take those batteries out

before you cook him.

Hey, Snowbell.

You all ready for our vacation?

You call spending the summer

in a cabin in the woods a vacation?

I call it cruel and unusual

punishment.

Oh, come on.

Don't you hear the call of the wild?

Learning to live off the land,

exploring the woods.

Sleeping in the dirt,

no air conditioning, Lyme disease.

I hate to burst your bubble,

Daniel Boob, but it's dangerous there.

And the closest you've been

to the woods...

...is the occasional whiff

of pine air freshener.

You sound just like Mom and Dad.

But I have instinctive, natural abilities.

I mean, after all,

I am somewhat like a mouse.

You're also somewhat

like a mental case.

This summer is gonna be

a real turning point.

I'm gonna prove to Mom and Dad...

...I don't need them

watching my every step.

I can take care of myself.

- I don't need to be told what to do.

- Stuart.

- It's a long drive. Did you go potty?

- Mom!

The whole neighborhood

will hear you.

I'm sure Davy Crockett's mother

asked him the very same question.

- Monty.

- Oh, man.

- I didn't believe it.

- Believe what?

Well, word in the alley is

you are going camping.

- Camping?

- Now you're gonna have to rough it...

...just like the rest of us,

Mr. Fancy Pants.

That's malicious slander.

- Well, then where are you going?

- Where? Well, to...

Where? Yes, we're going...

Oh, we're going to a fancy resort.

It's the Hartz Mountain

Resort and Spa.

Sounds nice.

It's paradise.

All-you-can-eat kibble buffet...

...whisker waxing,

pawdicure, tail grooming...

...24-hour Animal Planet.

Hey, can I come?

Can you co...? Yeah, well...

- I don't know.

- Oh, come on, can I come? Please?

Hey, it's not me, it's the Littles.

They don't exactly...

Oh, what am I trying to say here?

They don't like you.

Well, I guess I know

when I'm not wanted.

Actually, you don't.

But you're learning.

And I'll think of you

when I'm eating caviar for breakfast.

And I'll think of you when I'm...

- Like taking sardines from a kitten.

- Time to go, Snow.

Given a choice,

I'd rather be at the vet.

Come on, come on. Yes!

- Yes, yes, no, no.

- We're on our way.

We should be at the lake

in two hours, 34 minutes.

Well, I'm forgetting

about time altogether.

I have nothing

on my calendar all summer...

...but lazy days and carefree nights.

Hey, Mom, Dad?

I'm doing research

about Lake Garland.

There's a group there

called the Lake Scouts.

- That's good, son.

- I wanna join.

- That's not so good.

- But it's totally cool.

They go rock climbing,

boating, exploring.

- My, that sounds...

- Dangerous.

Oh, Mom, I'm not a baby.

I can handle it.

I don't know, Stuart.

Something could happen to you.

But I want something

to happen to me.

Stuart, sweetie, I have to put

my foot down and say...

Yes!

It might do him some good.

I mean, I myself was a Lake Scout.

And a pretty darn good one too.

But he's too small.

Who will take care of him?

- Well, I will.

- Yeah.

- You mean...?

- What if I were there?

- Watching him every step of the way.

- Wait. That's not quite what l...

- Every step?

- Every step.

- And George can join too.

- No way.

I've got to get to level 38

by the end of the summer.

Now, George, it'll be a bonding

experience for us Little men.

Just testing your reflexes, dear.

And you passed.

- You'll watch him every minute?

- Every minute.

Yippee!

- But there are rules.

- What kind of rules?

Never wander off by yourself.

Never wander off with someone else.

No wandering, period.

Don't sit too close to the fire.

You'll burn yourself.

Don't sit too far away from the fire.

You'll catch a cold.

Insect repellent is a must.

Remember, mosquito's bite

is bacteria's delight.

I don't know why it has to be

The sky is blue and the grass is green

And I don't know why it's really true

That one plus one always equals two

I don't know so I have to guess

There may be times

When a no means yes

And maybe, just maybe

It doesn't really matter

Hey now look around

Does anybody know

What's going down

Hey now it's okay

The world keeps spinning anyway

Hey now why ask why

Low is low and high is high

Hey now just let go

It's all right if you really don't know

Yeah, and I really don't know

- It's going to need some sprucing up.

- I've seen cleaner litter boxes.

There goes my summer

with nothing to do.

Well, it is called "roughing it."

- A little too rough, if you ask me.

- You're a pioneer now, Snowbell.

- Get with the program.

- I don't like this program.

Where's the remote?

Nothing like the great outdoors, huh?

The great outdoors

should stay outdoors.

That's why they invented doors:

To keep the outdoors out.

Can't wait to become

a Lake Scout, huh, George?

Stuart, what's the cheat code

for infinite health?

A-B-B-X-Y.

Just in time. Thanks.

Come on, George,

get your head out of the game.

Look around you.

I mean, you want adventure?

You never know what you'll find

out here in the woods.

Well, hello, Diggity!

What have we here?

I mean, wouldn't you rather...?

Little help?

Wouldrt you rather feel

the wind in your face...

...than just sit here

punching buttons all day?

No, too many bugs.

What about all the stuff

we could learn?

How to protect yourself

against wild animals.

Or how to find your way home

if you get lost in the woods.

You can't get lost in the woods

if you never go into the woods.

Boy, you've got an answer

for everything.

- Yep.

- Look at it this way:

Scouting will teach you

how to stand on your own two feet.

- Gesundheit.

- Gesundheit.

How to take care of yourself.

How to be a man.

You know, Stuart, I'm just not into

this outdoorsy stuff like you are.

I mean, what will I get

out of the Lake Scouts?

Hi. I'm Brooke.

- Hi.

- Hello.

I'm Stuart, and this is

my brother, George.

You guys gonna join

the Lake Scouts?

I am, but I don't think

George wants to.

He's trying to get to level 38

on Cyberdon Rex.

Good luck without

the unlimited ammo code.

- Unlimited?

- X-X-Y-A-B-A-B-X.

Totally cool.

So whers that

Lake Scout signup? Tomorrow?

- Is that a cat?

- Nothing gets by this one.

You better be careful with him.

- Why's that?

- The Beast.

- The Beast?

- Yeah, the Beast.

They say it can hear you

from the other side of the forest.

And when it drinks from the lake,

the water drops a foot.

They say it can smell

a drop of blood five miles away.

So you better keep

your animals inside...

...because I hear

its favorite food is cats.

See you around, Stuart. George.

Boy, she's a piece of work.

She sure is.

Does she really expect us to believe
