Minka quotes from Rugrats

[giggles] Choo-choo, train! Hey, Mr. Train! Choo-choo! [laughs] Choo-choo, everybody!

You're good with trains, Chuckie!

Choo-choo! A funny train, too. Choo-choo!

[In the kitchen, Minka and Boris are showing Stu and Didi a guide booklet about a scenic train ride. Stu is reading the paper, and looks over nervously at Chuckie playing with his toy train]

Minka

An old-fashioned train, taking us to Little Biendeltown. It's like a dream come true. [hands the booklet to Didi]

Biendeltown? "A recreation of the Old Country with all its' whimsical charms."

BBoris

Whimsical, schmimsical. It's got dust and a yak. For this I need a two-day train ride?!

Minka

What do you know? [to Didi] It's our second honeymoon! Why don't you all come with us?

BBoris

Oy...

On your honeymoon?

Minka

What? I'm gonna talk to HIM for eighteen hours? [points to Boris eating his meal]

I've never been on a scenic train trip before. Think of the sights we'll see on the way! Doesn't that sound fun, Stu?

[Stu looks up from his newspaper and grins nervously. Back in the playpen, Chuckie continues playing with his toy train]

Choo-choo! Choo-choo, everybody!

Oh, kids! Guess what? We're going to ride on a real train! We even get to sleep on it overnight. Isn't that exciting? [walks back into the kitchen]

Wow, a real live train!

LLil

With the wheelies and the chugga-chugga and everything!

Kimi

Yeah!

I'm not going.

What do you mean, Chuckie? I thought you love trains.

REAL trains don't have a string to pull with. They just go all by themselves! Nothing can stop them!

It's OK, Chuckie. A real train's just like your toy train. It just needs to be bigger-er so the grownups can play with them!

[picks up his toy engine] I don't know, Tommy. It's kinda scary.

Well, we'll all be there and, um... I know! You can bring your old pal Wawa!

Yeah! So I won't be a-scared all by myself.

[It cuts to Drew's house. In the kitchen, Charlotte is trying to type on her laptop computer as Angelica plays with her Cynthia doll]

Charlotte, this is a family trip. Two relaxing days on a train. I want you to promise: NO business. [closes the screen on Charlotte's laptop]

Charlotte

[opens her laptop] Well, I don't see why a person ca...

[clears throat] Charlotte!

Charlotte

[annoyed] All right, fine!

Angelica

[to her Cynthia doll] You hear that, Cynthia? We're going on a train trip! Time to break out all those extra EXTRA special accessories. [leaves the kitchen with Cynthia]

[Some time later, it cuts to the city train station. A singing bird flies past. But then]

[offscreen] CHARLOTTE!

[The train departs the station, and we see the main adults inside the lounge car with the two detectives and Dwayne serving coffee]

1Detective 1

[with a notepad] I need you to report any suspicious activities you might have witnessed.

LLou

[softly to the detective] Uh, between you and me, I never liked the looks of that guy. [gestures to Dwayne]

DDwayne

Anyone want coffee?

Betty

[holding a cup] All right, Dwaynie! Java me up!

[Dwayne pours coffee into Betty's cup]

Minka

And I wanted so much for this to be our second honeymoon. [she looks at Boris sleeping and frowns, but when she turns her head Boris smiles]

Kira

[looking at the route map] We should be near Cough Drop Pass.

[reading from the guide booklet] Where years of natural erosion have formed the stone replica of soothing lozenge.

[Didi and Kira start to look out the window, but Detective 1 walks up to them]

1Detective 1

I have a couple of questions; standard procedure, if you'll come this way.

[Didi and Kira look at each other and then get up, just missing the Cough Drop Pass as the train passes by it. Drew and Stu are standing around looking bored]
