Michelle quotes from 3-2-1 Penguins!

Michelle

Kevin's getting youngest!

Jason

[as Michelle's doll's shoe hits him on his head on purpose; which made him very angry] MOMMY!!! She did that again!!!

Oh, Michelle. Come on, we're almost here. Now apologize to your big brother.

Michelle

I'm sorry, Jason.

I hope you two don't act this way while you're at Grandmum's.

Michelle

[excited] Yay, Grandmum's cottage!

Jason

Yay, Grandmum's cottage. You know, Trevor's at Space Camp right now.

Jason, you'll get to go to Space Camp after Grandmum's cottage. You're just going to need to be patient.

Michelle

I just love Grandmum's cottage! Are we almost there?

You should know where we are, cupcake, unless you aren't wearing your glasses again. [the car pulls up in front of the cottage] Hey, hey, hey! We're here!

Grandmum

[walks out of the door and to the car; excitedly] Hello, sweeties! How's my two favorite twin pumpkins?

Michelle

[in unison] Hi, Grandmama.

Jason

[in unison] Hi, Grandmama.

Grandmum

Oh, that's Grandmum to you, you little bugs!

Oh, you kids are gonna like it here. Your grandpa finished this place when I was about your age.

Grandmum

That's right. Built the whole place himself, he did. Quite a man, your grandpop. [gets a hug from Michelle] Oh! Goodness, now, which one are you, then?

Michelle

We're not identical twins, Grandmum.

Jason

Thank goodness.

Michelle

Just remember, I'm the cutest one.

Jason

And I'm the one who's supposed to be at Space Camp. [gets out of the car]

Okay, that's everything. I'm afraid we have to run or we'll miss our flight.

Thanks for watching the kids, Mom. Jason and Michelle, we'll call you when we get there.

Grandmum

Have a good trip. And don't you worry about these two, they'll be just fine here. No better place for kids, you know.

That's right.

Bye-bye, sweethearts, we love you! Be good for your grandmum.

And have fun!

Grandmum

Come on, pumpkins! You can give me a hand with supper.

Michelle

Goodbye!

Bye.

Jason

Bye.

Jason, your mom and I know you'd rather be at Space Camp right now, so we got you and Michelle something that might make the time go faster. Now, be sure you take turns with your little sister. We'll call you for tonight, bud.

Michelle Francis Conrad.

Michelle

[calling for Jason, thinking it's for him] Um, Jason? This is for you.

Not so fast here! You are the one that we wanted, this time.

Michelle

Jason's right. You guys are alive.

Midgel

Either that or you're daydreaming.

Kevin

Whoa, déjà vu.

Dr. Fidgel, galeezle her.

Right away, captain.

Midgel

Hang on.

Michelle

Wait!

[reels her in aboard the ship] Amazing, an exact duplicate of your brother, only with pigtails!

Michelle

We are not identical twins, we're just the same age.

Michelle

What's wrong, Jason? Weren't you bored? [Jason growls in anger] Too bad the video game's got busted, huh?

Jason

As a matter of fact, it was too bad, because I was bored out of my brain! There's absolutely nothing to do up there. But why couldn't I be having fun at Space Camp with Trevor, instead of eating some weird grapes, and thumb wrestling for myself, because the only other possible thing to do is plant pumpkins, or stare at the wall? Oh, that gives me an idea, I think I'll stare at the wall!

Michelle

Touché.

Grandmum

Heavens above! This is not the way to look at things, was it? You know what it says about complaining in the Bible, didn't you? Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure. Children of God without fault in this crooked world in which you shine like stars in the universe. You know what, Jason, if you couldn't control your complaining, it'll spread to everyone around you, and you'll be a seed of discontent. So, which will it be, a grumpy seed, or a shining star? We will be outside if you change your mind. Come along, Michelle. [she and her granddaughter head outside the garden]

Jason

Why would anyone want grapes with seeds?

[run out the front door] Mail!

Jason

I'll race you!

Michelle

Okay. [runs to the mailbox]

Jason

No fair. Michelle, come on.

Michelle

[opens the mailbox] What's wrong? It's just mail.

Jason

Oh, come on. I'm desperate. If I don't hear something from the outside world soon, I'm gonna crack!

Michelle

Well... let's just see what the postman's brought. Could this be for you? Oh, no, I guess not. But ooh! Here's an exciting opportunity to refund your home at today's low rate.

Jason

Michelle…

Michelle

You know, it's never too early to start planning for your retirement.

Jason

That's it! Prepare to roar! [angrily, and rudely starts chasing her around]

Michelle

Jason!

Jason

Oh, come on, hand it over!

Michelle

Cut that out!

Jason

It's no use resisting!

Grandmum

Thank goodness, muffins, what's all that about?

Jason

Michelle won't let me see the mail.

Grandmum

Now, now, Michelle, what is it the Good Book says? Oh, yes! "Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act." I suppose that goes for the mail as well.

Michelle

I was gonna give it to him eventually.

Grandmum

Let's see, bills, bills, some lovely coupons, a card for Michelle, oh! And here's a nice letter for Jason.

Jason

For me? Hey, it's from Trevor! [takes out a photo of Trevor on the anti-gravity simulator] Look, here's a picture of him on the anti-gravity simulator.

Michelle

Personally, I never understood why a bunch of kids would wait in line just to get nauseous.

Grandmum

Well, come along, bugs. We'll all read our mail over some delicious prune trifle.

Jason

Yeah, here we can get nauseous without the weight.

[voice-over] And being weightless was very neat. Friday, we learned all about space storms. Rocket science is a real blast. Get it? Ha, ha. Hey, remember that day we went to Astroland and rode on the Twister 28 times in a row? Nobody can take centrifugal force like you and me, right? I really wish you were here. Stuff's always more fun when you're around. Well, I gotta go meet John Glenn. Write soon, and tell me all the exciting things you've been doing. Your pal, Trevor.

Michelle

Grandmum, the sink's leaking again!

Grandmum

Well, we'll fix it up in a jiffy. Just need to find my supply of duct tape. [enters the living room, holding a roll of duct tape] Nice of Trevor to write you, wasn't it? I'm sure he misses you a lot.

Jason

Yeah, I can tell.

Grandmum

You should write him back right away. I'll bet he'd love hearing from you. You can tell him all about what you've been doing.

Michelle

[coming down the stairs] Good idea! There was that one paperclip chain you made, and helping Grandmum put on her hair net, and that awful morning we, uh, ran out of toast.

Grandmum

Woah, don't like to think about that too much.

Jason

[sits up and gets off the couch] Well, I'm sure Trevor is having too much fun to bother reading any letter from me.

Grandmum

You know, love, he might be a little homesick. Hearing from you could be just what the doctor ordered.

Jason

Yeah, I think I'll just go upstairs.

Grandmum

I'm sure you'll do the right thing, dearest.

Jason

[writing a letter to Trevor in return; voice-over] And just today, I found this really excellent mouse named Preston. Well, guess that's about it. Glad you're having a great summer, too. As someone I know once said, "Ain't nothing like a best friend." Oh, (and) in case you're a little homesick, here's something to help cheer you up. Maybe next year, we can try to break our record on that coaster. Signed, your best bud, Jason.

Grandmum

Nighty-night, cupcakes. Time to say your prayers.

Dear God…

Michelle

Please bless Grandmum and keep our mommy and daddy safe on their trip.

Jason

And thank you for teaching me the importance of doing good things for people whenever I have the chance. And please watch over Preston. He's a really great mouse.

Michelle

Even if he did eat the bridal bouquet.

Amen.

[on speaker] Penguins! Come in, penguins!

Admiral Strap, sir! [salutes]

Michelle

Uh, who's that?

That's Admiral Strap. Our commander at Federation HQ.

Well, until next time, cadets!

Midgel

G'bye, mates!

Goodbye!

Michelle

Oh, no, what happened?

Jason

What happened?! Can't you see? The thing's broken!

Michelle

How?

[examines the gum] Hmm… Corn syrup, soy lecithin, and titanium dioxide, if I'm not very much mistaken. A construct otherwise known as…

Jason

Hubby chubby bubble gum! Oh, no! [angrily points to Michelle] It was you! You must have spit it out when the galeezle pulled us in!

Michelle

I wasn't the only one with hubby chubby! You were chewing it too!

Jason

I swallowed mine!

Michelle

Well, I didn't do it! You must have done it!

Jason

I didn't do it! You did!

Michelle

No, you did!

Ah, ah! Temper, temper. Here we go, accusing each other again! Remember what old Sol told us: not smart without all the facts.

Jason

Well, the fact is we aren't going to be able to get back to Grandmum's and it's all Michelle's fault!

Michelle

Can you fix it, Fidgel?

Well, um…it's not…Well, I can try.

Jason

"Try?!" Oh, no! We're going to stay this size? I'm only as big as my little finger!

Michelle

Can you make it work again?

[pulls out a small, burned out device covered in gum] This is what makes it work. The metric magnetic matter disperser. The only one in existence as far as I know! Without this, the galeezle is useless! I fear the bubble gum has burnt it out.

Jason, Michelle, would you like a sandwich?

Jason

[disappointed about not getting back to Grandmum's cottage] No. I just want Grandmum's cocoa.

Michelle

I thought you weren't talking to me.

Jason

I wasn't talking to you, you galeezle breaker!

Michelle

I didn't break it. You did! Your gum must've come out when you were screaming like a baby.

Jason

[infuriated] Screaming like a baby?!

Michelle

Yes, you always scream like a baby when galeezled into the ship!

[enters the main room after taking a shower with his hair all droopy; angrily accusing Kevin] KEVIN! YOU'VE BEEN INTO MY SHAMPOO AGAIN!

Midgel

Calm down, captain.

Calm down? Calm down?! [to Kevin] Listen to me! "Ridiculous proportions shampoo" is shampoo! Do you hear me? Shampoo! But you always use it as a body wash! A body wash! Do you know how much body you have to wash?!

Midgel

Now, wait just a minute, captain. Didn't you say earlier that we shouldn't be too quick to accuse each other? [gasps in shock when he sees his Boomerangutan poster on the table; accusing Fidgel in outrage] Doc! Doc! What have you done to my poster?!

I-I just needed something to protect the table.

Midgel

[frustrated] Do you know how much this is worth?! It was from the last tour of the Boomerangutans!

[retorting] Well, if you wouldn't leave your quarters in such a mess, how am I to know what's rare and what's rubbish?

Jason

Nice going, Michelle!

Michelle

What?! Now you're blaming me for this?!

Jason

We wouldn't even be here if you hadn't broken the galeezle!

Captain's blog, we're going on a picnic.

Michelle

So, what are we doing here?

Midgel

Had to stop off for some supplies, first. Soda pop, sandwiches, you know.

[as they enter] Don't forget the chocolate bars and marshmallows!

Jason

Oh, great! I love eating s'mores!

Eating? Oh, no, I need them for a new fuel experiment.

Midgel

Now don't take all day with your science project stuff, Doctor. We're here to get in, get supplies, and get out. No nonsense.

I assure you, my experiments are not nonsense.

Midgel

What about the time you tried to make glass invisible so you can see through it?

Well, it worked, didn't it?

Jason

What's wrong with being lazy?

Well, just think, if I didn't work around here, nobody would get served, dirty dishes would pile up. Pretty soon the whole place would stink!

Michelle

Like Jason's room!

[chuckles] Old Sol says, "The lazy person wants many things, but has nothing. But the person who is diligent and hardworking, truly has it all." You want to be diligent, right, kids?

Jason

Actually, the picnic sounds more fun.

[laughs] I'm sure it does. You just keep an eye on those ants, you hear?

Jason

We will. Is it just me, or is he weird?

Jason

[enters Michelle's room while following the smelling scent and spots a cupcake on the table, tries to eat it, but Michelle swipes it from him] Let me have a cupcake. I'll tell Grandmum you've learned your lesson when we get back.

Michelle

No. I made them, I say who gets one.

Jason

(Oh, I get it.) You won't give me one because you're still mad about play-ser tag.

Michelle

Yeah, it was no fair. I was sick of being it.

Jason

At least I shared with you.

Michelle

You gave me the broken one.

Jason

This one? It's a new invention. Fidgel even said it didn't work right. [turns on the device and a straight and spiral beam fires and goes around the room until it reaches him]

Michelle

No thanks, that thing is a play-ser tag magnet. Wherever I hid in the room, that beam would find me. I was it the whole time!

Jason

Fine, but it's not my fault it doesn't work. Keep your stale old cupcakes. [leaves the room in a huff]

Midgel

Fidge, give me your spectrometer.

What for?

Midgel

I wanna try something.

No, you'll break it.

Midgel

What?

Michelle

Can't he borrow it for a moment? He might be able to get us free.

No, he's never careful with my things. It's a delicate device.

Michelle

But, doctor, what about Sol's cookie? What about sharing?

Well, what do you want it for, anyway?

Midgel

I need to get back to the ship to get a fix on the pump, so you can find it, override the signal, and turn it back on.

Michelle

Please? This is no time to be stingy.

[reluctantly] Don't get any sand in it.

Midgel

Thank you. I'll head to the ship. You look around here, keep your communicator on.

You're getting the seat wet, Michelle.

Michelle

You can thank Jason (for that).

Oh, thank you, Jason.
