Ooh!
Aw!
Ain't they just precious!
I want a bunch of cuties just like them someday.
Don't you?
-The more the merrier, toots, that's what I always say. -(SPLASH)
Would you look at that? I'm all out of ice.
(POT SHATTERING)
Ahh!
Oh, Tommy, I can always count on you.
(POUNDING HEAVILY)
Hey, if you don't have any plans tonight,
maybe you could come by my place at 8:00?
Okay, then. 8:00. And Tommy...
Don't be late.
WOMAN: Hey, honey. Leaving to meet the girls for dinner.
MAN: Have fun!
WOMAN: Movie night.
He'll be asleep before the opening credits.
-(MAN CHUCKLES) -Here, just in case.
STEVENS: (ON TV) What is it, Doctor? DOCTOR: I'm not sure, Stevens.
But it came from downstairs.
-It sounds like... -STEVENS: Something evil?
(GULPS)
DOCTOR: Something very, very, very... STEVENS: Just say it, Doctor.
DOCTOR: Evil.
Not exactly my shade, but here goes!
(BUTCH READING IN MOCK FEMALE VOICE)
BUTCH: Surprise!
(CRASHES)
(MAN SNORING)
STEVENS: Doctor, that noise. DOCTOR: Yes, Stevens, I know.
It's trying to escape.
(LOUD CRASHES)
Oh, that? That's just a monster in the basement.
DOCTOR: It will just be the beginning of...
STEVENS: Say it, Doctor. DOCTOR: The terror.
(SCREAMS)

Butch?
You expecting someone else, toots?
Yeah. Tommy.
Well, maybe we twos can have a little din-din while you're waiting.
No, thanks. He'll be here soon.
I'm sticking close to the phone, in case he calls.
A call from Tom. Not a bad idea.
Okay, then, 8:00.
And, Tommy, don't be late.
(RIPPING)
(SCREAMING)
That didn't come from the TV.
STEVENS: Doctor, it won't be long before that horrid thing
escapes and becomes more than just our problem.
DOCTOR: It's up to us, then. This madness stops here.
Yeah, we can do this. Mice power!
(THUDS)
What? A card game? Tonight?
Hey, pal, you promised Toodles!
Yeah, I'll tell her. But I'm ashamed to call you a friend.
(SCOFFS) The nerve of that guy!
Standing me up for a card game!
Tell me about it, toots. That tomcat has lost his marbles.
Not every guy is as dependable as ol' Butch here.
Hey, what are you doing tonight?
Me? Let me check my appointment book.
Nothing, honey. I'm all yours.
These are my baby sisters, and my little baby brother.
Aren't they just adorable?
Precious little angels, they are.
Knowing how you like kids,
would you mind watching them while I take my mother out?
-Well, I... -You're a doll.
Well, you threes don't seem so bad.
Hey, is this how patty-cake is played?
Well, maybe later, you can tell your big sis
how much fun we had.
(SNIFFS)
Hey, anyone else smell smoke?
Hot! Hot! Hot!
(SCREAMING)
(THUDDING)
(GASPS) It's the monster. He's trying to escape from the basement.
DOCTOR: Yes, that's right. Hit him, boys. Give him all you've got.
Now!
Okay, you! No more setting my toes on fire.
And, you two! No more hitting me, got it?
Hey, don't worry about it.
We just got off on the wrong foot.
Hey, tell you what. Put in a good word for me
with your big sis, and all is forgiven.
You wants me to read you a story?
I can do that. Now, let's see.
We'll skip the words and just read the pictures. Okay?
Looky here. This big, wild bear thing is swinging from tree to tree.
Oh, he missed a branch and is fallen. It's very...
I don't hear anything. Maybe the monster is sleeping.
(LOUD CRASH)
I think he's awake now.
Okay, you trio of tricksters.
No more lighting firecrackers in my face.
Okay, enough with the boo-boo eyes.
But remember, you're putting in a good word with the sis. Right?
(CLINKING)
Oh, a tea party. That's nice.
Aw, that's cute. I'm sitting in the fireplace.
(WHEEZES)
Needs a skosh more sugar.
(ELECTRICAL BUZZING)
Uh-oh.
Oh, no. We're not playing beauty parlor.
Tommy, is that you?
I hope you lost at cards, you bum.
Is this your idea of babysitting?
Sorry, toots, I changed my mind.
I don't like kids, especially those kids.
