Runaway Reptar/Transcript

(We start on a theater curtain showing the drama masks icon. The curtain opens to reveal two more sets of curtains that also open up to reveal a singing and dancing anthropomorphic soft drink cup on a stage. It turns out that this is a drive-in intermission snack bar advertisement...)

Singing Cup: Come on and try our snack bar,

And soon you will be back 'thar,

For chips with nacho cheese on top

That'll make your cholesterol drop!

Check up on our sodas,

And soon you'll bring a load of

Bon-bons back to mom and dad.

Sugar's good and never bad...

(As the soft drink cup sings amongst other anthropomorphic snacks and drinks mentioned, we see that the snack bar advertisement is being played at a multi-screen drive-in theater with at least six screens, and it's the pre-movie intermission. Amongst the parked cars facing the screen the camera pans away from, we can see Grandpa Lou's station wagon parked facing the opposite direction, with the tailgate facing the screen. Inside the back of the car, the kids are all having fun with snacks in their pajamas. Tommy Pickles attempts to sing along with the snack bar snipe while holding his own soft drink cup. Near him is their baby bag with a few jars of mushed yams, and Angelica holding a Cynthia walkie-talkie in one hand and eating out of a bag of cookies with the other. Dil sits in a baby seat licking on a large lollipop, Phil and Lil are engaged in a tug-of-war with a strand of licorice, and Chuckie is enjoying a pretzel. Tommy laughs and moves along with the singing cartoon soft drink cup, but then he loses his balance and falls back into the baby bag, spilling his soda cup on top of his head and sending the yam jars and a snowglobe rolling...)

Angelica: Keep it down, baldie! I'm trying to have a grown-up conversation over here. (into the walkie-talkie) I got a whole bag of chocolate chip cookies over here all for me. I bet your mommy and daddy are making YOU eat carrots and healthy stuff!

(Parked right next to Lou's station wagon are the Carmichaels' minivan, facing the screen the babies are also watching. Inside the van, Susie Carmichael, also in her nightshirt, is talking to Angelica on her own Cynthia walkie-talkie and eating a brownie.)

Susie: Actually, my mom made fresh brownies with lots of frosting, and we got ice cream from the snack bar to put on 'em!

(As she speaks, we see her older brothers Edwin and Buster scooping vanilla ice cream out of a carton to put on their brownies. Angelica looks from a passenger window...)

Angelica: Oh yeah? Well, uh... (nabs Dil's lollipop and holds it up) I got this big lollipop!

Dil: Mine!

Tommy: That's not yours, Angelica! Now give it back!

Angelica: Oh, fine! You goody-goodys take the fun out of everything. (hands the lollipop back to Dil and storms off)

(Outside the cars, Grandpa Lou is trying to pull an old-fashioned drive-in speaker one car over from them to his station wagon, due to the speaker post right next to it being out of order.)

Lou: Conflab! If I can just roll up this... (places the speaker onto the open back window facing the kids) There we are.

(Lou turns the speaker on and the soundtrack from the intermission snack bar advertisement starts playing...)

Lou: All right, sprouts. You're all set up for the Reptar movie. That'll be on screen number six, right through there.

(Lou points to the back window, and the babies turn to see the screen showing the singing soft drink cup and an anthropomorphic hot dog in a convertible at a drive-in lot.)

Lou: And if you grandpa has worked everything out right, Deep Sea Fishermen of the Rugged North oughta be comin' up right over here on screen number three. (he points to the movie screen facing the drivers' windshield and chuckles) Two for the price of one! (accidentally bumps his head on the window rim) Ow! Ooh.. (rubs his scalp) Oh, that reminds me. I gotta find a speaker for my movie. Don't you kids go anywhere. (walks off)

Chuckie: Did your grandpa say this is where we're gonna see the movie?

Phil: Where's all the chairs?

Lil: (looking out the window at the starry night sky) And where's the "toppy" part?

Tommy: I think this is some kind of different movie place. Sort of like, uhh... parking lot movies!

Angelica: You dumb babies! This isn't a parking lot; it's a drive-in! It's where you come to watch movies in your car.

Chuckie: (uncertain) Why would anybody wanna watch movies in their car?

Tommy: Well... uh, I guess 'cause you can wear your jammies, and roll around... (does a little somersault) ...and you don't have to sit in your mommy and daddy's laps the whole time.

Phil: Yeah, but I miss the gum under the seats...

(Lil gasps at this realization. Back outside, Lou has found another speaker and is struggling to pull it over to his vehicle, as an announcement blares from the snack bar/projection booth...)

Man over P.A.: Movie starting. Return to car. Snack bar close in ten minutes.

???: Dactar!

(second act, Chuckie, Dil, Phil, Lil, and Tommy gets chased Dactar.)

Chuckie: Look out! It's trying to eat us!

Tommy: Chuckie? I think we better move.
