[Scene starts in the Pickles' yard: Tommy and Spike are playing tug-o'-war with a rubber frog while the other babies surround him. Didi enters the house. Tommy falls over, having won, and Spike walks off]
Good job, Tommy. You're a great tugger.
[Tommy gets up, Spiffy and Dil are playing their own tug-o'-war game]
LLil
Dil's good at it too.
[Spiffy wins]
Poor Dilly. He's not strong enough for tuggy-war.
I guess he's just not strong enough to have fun like we do.
Yeah, he's not big and powerful like us! [poses like a superhero]
LLil
Maybe we could make him strong like Phil.
[Spiffy tackles Phil and licks his face]
[getting up after Spiffy runs off] Yeah, we could feed him bugs! I gots a diapie full and they're bursting with power!
[Spiffy runs around with the toy frog]
Dil's not much of a bug-eater.
More for me. [takes a worm from his diaper and tries to it]
Wait! I have the perfect thing! Come on!
No, it's for Dil! We gots to wash all the baby power off! Come on, pass it down! [passes it to Phil, who passes it to Lil, who passes it to Chuckie, who passes it to Kimi, who walks over to Dil and pours it on him]
[Dil busts out crying]
Oh no, he's cryin'! He's gonna shake everything again! [holds his helmet]
LLil
Wait! It's not shaken!
We washed the power off! Tommy, you're the smartest.
[another earthquake starts]
LLil
Uh-oh. Now, you're dumb again.
[entering] It's OK, Dil. Mommy's coming. Oh, your diaper is wet, sweetums. And so's your head?! [wipes water off his head with her hand] Boy! When you have to go, you have to go! [picks Dil up]
Dil has to go and it's all 'cause of me!
LLil
How come washing Dilly's power off didn't work?
Must've already rubbed in.
Well, maybe we could keep him from using his powers.
That's it! We'll just make sure he doesn't move around! Ever!
Don't worry, Deed. It's easy as pie. To open, simply tug gently on the Velcro side and [tries to open one but fails] Ya just tug gently and--[falls over, breaking the strap and knocking the drawer out]
Oh, Stu. I hope you didn't put these anyplace else. [looks shocked as there are some in the living room]
[the babies go outside]
What are we going to do? The Dummi Bears didn't work!
[shaking her head] Taking the rattle didn't work.
[stops pushing Dil's stroller] I gots a idea! After my daddy mows the lawn, he can't even lift his finger! Maybe that will work for Dil!
That's a great idea Tommy, except Dil can't mow! He can't even walk.
[Chuckie and the twins cheer, then the babies all push Dil's stroller and the toy lawnmower and the wagon with the dogs in, who eventually run away]
LLil
Dilly's not tired at all.
And now he's making funny sounds. [referring to his stomach growling]
He's gonna poop! Run for your lives! [He hides in the sand box, Phil hides in a bush, Chuckie hides behind the sand box, the girls hide behind a tree, Dil farts, everyone comes out of their hiding places]
[the parents come outside]
Well, I think the shaking stopped, Deed.
That's a relief. Now, maybe we could put away some of your safety equipment? I mean I'm all for being prepared, Stu, but I'd like to return to normal.
What's not normal?...You're right, Deed, maybe I did go a bit far. [takes helmet off Lil] I need to come up with a simple approach. Like instant airbags that deploy at the slightest hint of motion!
[removes Kimi's helmet as Phil removes his] At least nothing exploded this time.
We did it, guys. Sorry I gave you too much power, Dilly. And I'm pretty sure you're back to Norman now! Of course, there's only one way to be sure. [has Spiffy and Dil play tug-o'-war with the frog, Spiffy wins] Yup, Dilly's out of power!
[laughs] Imagine, Deed. Your great aunt was my twins mother. Gee, we're close sisters! And they have twins the same age as Phil and Lil!
Phil and Lil, guess what? You have twins cousins! Hedley and Smeldey! And they're coming from across the ocean!
LLil
I don't know why they're from the ocean.
Sorry, we weren't perfect twins Lil.
LLil
I thinks we can be perfect for each other, even if you are a bit of a nutter.
[Phil and Lil continue to argue. The camera zooms inside Lil's screaming mouth, ending the episode]
