MRS. DAVIS

Owww! What in the world -- ? Oh,

I thought I told him to pick these up.

With a sweep of her foot, she brushes the army men out of

her path and continues on to the living room.

INT. ANDY'S BEDROOM

REX:

Shouldn't they be there by now?

What's taking them so long?!

WOODY:

Hey, these guys are professionals.

They're the best. C'mon, they're

not lying down on the job.

INT. DOWNSTAIRS HALLWAY

As soon as Mom is gone, the Sargent motions for his men to

proceed toward a nearby houseplant that looks into the

living room.

The Sargent then notices an injured soldier struggling to

drag himself forward -- a casualty of Mrs. Davis' foot. The

Sargent helps the injured soldier to his feet.

WOUNDED SOLDIER:

(moans)

Go on without me. Just go!

SLINKY:

A good soldier never leaves a man

behind.

The Sargent motions to the remaining men above. They lower

themselves via jump rope, riding the baby monitor. Once

downstairs, they hustle the baby monitor towards the

houseplant. Suddenly...

A BALL:

bounces into the hallway, followed by the sound of footsteps

and kid clamor.

The Sargent, supporting his wounded man, reaches the plant,

right on the heels of the squad with the baby monitor. They

conceal themselves in the house plant just before the

children run by.

INT. DOWNSTAIRS - HOUSE PLANT - CONTINUOUS

While the baby monitor is set in place, A MEDIC evaluates

the wounded soldier and gives the "thumb's up" signal.

The Sargent scans the party with his binoculars.

The pile of brightly wrapped gifts sits atop the living room

coffee table.

SARGENT (O.S.)

There they are.

INT. ANDY'S BEDROOM

The toys perk up as STATIC suddenly emits from the baby

monitor.

SARGENT (O.S.)

(over monitor)

Come in, Mother Bird, this is Alpha

Bravo.

WOODY:

This is it! This is it! Quiet,

quiet, quiet!

SARGENT (O.S.)

(over monitor)

Come in, Mother Bird.

Alright...Andy's opening the first

present now.

MR. POTATO HEAD

(chanting)

Mrs. Potato Head...Mrs. Potato

Head...Mrs. Potato Head...

(off Rex's look)

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

SARGENT (O.S.)

(over monitor)

The bow's coming off...he's ripping

the wrapping paper...it's

a...it's...it's a lunchbox! We've

got a lunchbox, here!

WOODY:

A lunchbox?!

MR. POTATO HEAD

A lunchbox...?!

SLINKY:

For lunch. Heh heh heh...

SARGENT (O.S.)

(over monitor)

Ok, second present...it appears to

be...okay, it's bed sheets.

MR. POTATO HEAD

SARGENT (O.S.)

(over monitor)

Okay, we're on the last present now...

WOODY:

Last present!

SARGENT (O.S.)

(over monitor)

It's a big one...It's a...it's a

boardgame! Repeat! Battleship --

Battleship, the boardgame!

The toys CHEER WITH RELIEF.

HAMM:

Yeah, alright!!

Hamm gives Potato Head a congratulatory pat on the back,

sending his facial features flying.

MR. POTATO HEAD

Hey, watch it!

HAMM:

Sorry there, old Spudhead.

INT. DOWNSTAIRS - HOUSE PLANT

SARGENT:

(to army men)

Mission accomplished. Well done,

men. Pack it up, we're going home.

INT. ANDY'S BEDROOM

WOODY:

So did I tell ya? Huh? Nothing to

worry about.

SLINKY:

I knew you were right all along,

Woody. Never doubted you for a

second.

INT. DOWNSTAIRS - HOUSE PLANT

The platoon is preparing to exit the plant when...

MRS. DAVIS (O.S.)

Wait a minute. Oooh, what do we

have here?!

The Sargent lifts his binoculars back to his eyes.

ANGLE:
BINOCULAR VIEW OF LIVING ROOM

Mrs. Davis can be seen opening the closet and pulling out

another large present.

SARGENT:

(indicating the baby monitor)

Wait -- turn that thing back on!

SARGENT (O.S.)

(over monitor)

Come in, Mother Bird, come in,

Mother Bird.

All the toys tense up.

SARGENT (O.S.)

(continued)

Mom has pulled a surprise present

from the closet. Andy's opening it...

INT. DOWNSTAIRS - HOUSE PLANT - CONTINUOUS

SARGENT:

He's really excited about this one.

It's a huge package. Oh -- get

out -- one of the kids is in the

way, I can't see...

INT. ANDY'S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

SARGENT (O.S.)

(from monitor)

...it's...it's a --

The sound of children CHEERING emits from the monitor,

cutting off the Sargent.

REX:

It's a WHAT?! WHAT IS IT?!!!

Rex grabs a leg of the nightstand and shakes it, making the

monitor drop to the floor. The impact causes the batteries

to roll out.

REX:

Oh, no!

MR. POTATO HEAD

Oh, ya big lizard! Now we'll never

know what it is!

HAMM:

(sarcastic)

Way to go, Rex.

Everyone rushes to the fallen monitor. Potato Head tries to

correctly insert the batteries.

WOODY:

No, no! Turn 'em around, turn 'em

around!

HAMM:

Eh, he's puttin' 'em in backwards!

WOODY:

Plus is positive, minus is negative!

Oh, let me!
