Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) Edit

A physical attraction Feel it every time we kiss

A what? Earthworm. They're dormant...

After all, she's the one who paid for it. That makes her an accomplice.

Ah, it's taking the skin off. I'll talk to you later.

All right, so there's some doll furniture. Big deal.

All right, together.

All right.

All right. Just hear me out.

Am I bleeding? Honey, it's rubber.

Amy in the dark...

Amy?

Amy?

Amy?

Amy?

Amy? Nick?

Amy? Nick?

Amy.

Amy.

Amy.

Amy. Get under that ledge.

Amy. Ron, where are you?

Amy. Get him off of me. Nicky.

Amy. You know, I've always liked your family.

Amy's not at Patty's and Nick's not at the Koestlers'. I'm gonna call Betsy.

And besides, if you're not there by 6:00, you'll lose your deposit.

And given that my machine can substantially reduce...

And I think he should have consideration for other people.

And I'll tell you something.

And if my father'd wanted me to go on a fishing trip, I would've been gra...

And is Russell ready for his big fishing trip?

And then what? And then you'll smack me?

And you're coming fishing with the family. Is that clear?

Ant.

Ants can lift 50 times their weight. 50 times?

Any luck? No.

Any other yard, the grass would be shorter.

Are you and Dad okay?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you saying that that machine... Blew up my kids?

Are you sure, honey?

Are you trying to tell me...

Aren't you in the wrong yard? Listen, nerd face...

At the Thompsons'? They'd rather be in school.

At this rate, we'll be home by dinner.

Aw, come on.

Awesome.

Back.

Baseball's for mortals. Maybe you could be the base.

Be quiet, Quark.

Bees.

Better.

Boy, did we miss you. I missed you, too, honey.

Boys on the right, girls on the left.

But from now on, things are gonna be different.

But he can't hurt us. He's just a baby.

But if it is, would this hurt? Ow.

But it's years to the rest of the world?

But you always make a big deal out of sports.

But, honey, you are much bigger than he is.

By the way, you were right about the electric flea collar.

Can somebody get that?

Can you dance?

Can you hear me?

Can't imagine, dear. What do you mean you can't imagine?

Can't we sleep just a little longer?

Captain of the team.

Cheers. Though I think we're going to be...

Come on, everybody. Grab on.

Come on, honey.

Come on, Mae. Come on. Come.

Come on, Ron. Hurry. Come on.

Come on, Ron. We're gonna go with them.

Come on, Russ.

Come on, you dope. Hey, nobody has to know.

Come on, you guys. This is your ant.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Get in. What's wrong with them?

Come on. Look at this.

Come on. Shrink.

Come on. We gotta find Ron and your sister.

Confidentially...

Cool. Now we can see in the dark.

Could your Dad help us? Russ. We're supposed to go fishing.

Dad can fix us, right, Nick?

Dad has his big show and tell at the lab.

Dad, don't forget my dress from the cleaners, Nick's allergy pills...

Dad, I told you not to move. What's on this thing?

Dad, if you really want me back on the team...

Dad, it's early.

Dad, it's Mom.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad. I think he just misses the kids.

Dad. I'll tell you, at their size...

Dad. Mr. Szalinski.

Dad. Mr. Szalinski.

Dad. No.

Dad. Right.

Dad. Dad, wait. Dad.

Dad. Dad.

Dad. Stop.

Dad. We're down here. Over here.

Darn right.

Defending the backyard, Dad. That's my fishing rod.

Diane, I got something real important to tell you.

Diane.

Did Paul Tate ask you to the dance? I think he's going to.

Did you see him this morning? No, it was yesterday.

Did, uh, you report some missing children?

Different.

Do the kids know? Well, yeah, the kids know.

Do you wanna hear somethin' strange? My thinking couch is missing.

Don, hook a big one for me, okay?

Don?

Don.

Don... Oh, and I bought my new Fish matist.

Don't eat me.

Don't eat so fast. Hey, that's my hand.

Don't move. Ron, what are you doing?

Don't panic, Ron. W We'll f find a way, okay?

Don't they need a warrant or something?

Don't you get it? We're too small. He can't hear us.

Don't.

Donald, I am... Not now, Gloria.

Donald, that man over there is flying.

Down here. Help.

Down here. Mom. Mom, Dad.

Eat it, Dad, before it gets cold.

Eighty bucks, Mae. Non refundable.

Elbows up.

Electricity's cheap.

Fine. Until you do, you're trying these.

First dog in space.

Fishing isn't your thing.

Fishing's your thing, Dad, not mine.

Five years... No, Dad, it works.

For a girl. Of course.

Forget it, Nick.

French class, kid. Oh.

French class.

French fries.

From now on, you're gonna do what I say. Run.

Gentlemen, ladies, I don't know about you, but I'm going to lunch.

Geronimo.

Get away, boy. Drop it.

Get away.

Get behind it.

Get down. Hurry. Get down. Hurry.

Get her.

Get him away. Hold on, Nick.

Get him.

Get him. Nicky, you're gonna get hurt.

Get off the grass.

Get off the grass.

Get out of there.

Get some rest.

Get up.

Giant blades of grass.

Give me a boost.

Go inside, Quark. Find Dad.

Go on. Go home. Mom will never let me keep you.

Go on. Try it. Go ahead.

Go over there.

God, what happened?

Good idea. Oh, great.

Good luck today. Thanks. Bye, honey.

Good morning, Quark.

Good morning, Russell. Hi, Gloria.

Good night, Amy.

Good night, Amy.

Good night, Russ.

Got the best spot on the lake. You looking forward to it?

Grand...

Great idea, Russ, even if the boy genius didn't think of it.

Great Sir Russell Thompson, stalking the rogue butterfly.

Guess what I s... Look, Diane...

Guys, quick. Over here. Where?

Hang on, Nick. I can't. I'm slipping.

Harold. Uh, Mr. Szalinski?

Have a ball, baby. I'm not swimming in that.

He hit a baseball through your attic window.

He hit a baseball through your attic window.

He is not too small for football.

He likes to take things apart.

He looks hurt. No.

He needs something. When I was his age, I was capt...

He pumps once, pumps twice. Ohh.

He saved me from a giant scorpion. I was stuck with Amy for a while.

He was afraid to tell you he quit. Quit...

He what?

He'll know what to do.

He's a scout. The rest of them will be here any minute.

He's just leaving for the conference.

He's never been good on the high outside pitch.

He's not as weird as I thought he was, and I love you and Nick...

He's only 12, and he's already thinking about construction.

He's says they're jumpin' in the boat.

He's sounding.

Hello?

Help me get off the harness.

Help.

Help.

Help.

Help. Help.

Here, Quark.

Here.

Here. You deserve this.

Here's the pitch. Oh, he's swinging like a rusty gate.

Hey, Amy, your date's here.

Hey, Antie, look. Headlights.

Hey, hey, I didn't do it.

Hey, Russ, pitch for me.

Hey, Szalinski, ever do anything normal, like play baseball?

Hey, Szalinski, look at the head.

Hey, that would be cool. All my teachers would be retired.

Hey, wait.

Hey.

Hey. Hello.

Hey. Hey, if we could get some rope...

Hi, Mae.

Hi, Mom. Nick, go get Dad.

Hi.

Hi.

Hiya. Hi.

Hmm, baseball.

Hold on.

Hold on. Give me that thing.

Holy smokes. It's the laser.

Honey, can't... Hold it, Dad.

Honey, when you say things like that, you make him feel about this big.

Honey.

House of insanity. Hi, honey.

How 'bout a truce, okay?

How 'bout catching some...

How 'bout the truth? Mae, what kind of an excuse is that?

How did this happen? Hold on a second, Mae.

How do you know? Well...

How ya doin', boy? How about a pit stop?

How'd those get there?

How'd your conference go? Well, I got a lot of laughs.

Hurry up. He's coming.

I am gonna tell you one more time to shut up.

I appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

I called Charlie up at Bass Lake. I know.

I called to wish you luck at the conference.

I can't believe some stores actually charge for this stuff.

I can't hear you.

I can't make it out. Let me see.

I could eat a corn dog the size of a truck.

I couldn't believe it. Lisa told Janet that Paul asked Barbara...

I don't care about the team. I care about you.

I don't know where they could be. They know we're leaving.

I don't know, but I'll keep you posted, okay?

I don't know, but I'm not waitin' around to find out. Move over.

I don't know.

I don't think so, because, you know, my Dad's gonna come home and...

I don't think we're gonna be able to make it.

I don't think we're in Kansas any more, Toto.

I feel like a banana whip.

I feel the same way.

I found it on the floor.

I get it.

I got dibs on the cream filling.

I got it. The ball came through the window...

I gotta fix the machine. You should get some sleep.

I have got an air hammer in my attic...

I I... I'm just gonna get my old job back, if I can get my old job back.

I I'm Russ Thompson from next door, uh...

I just always thought you were too popular to notice me.

I just figured it out. I never woke up this morning.

I know Dad. We're grounded.

I know it seems strange when you look at me today...

I know, Dad. You've told me about a million times.

I know, Ronnie, I know.

I love to hear

I love you, Wayne Szalinski.

I mean, I would have come by. I wanted to, but...

I mean, plumbing would not stop the Big Russ Thompson I know...

I must look absolutely gross.

I need to take a shower. Szalinski.

I only had to show it to them 12 times.

I picked a name. You have, however,

I saw it first. It's mine.

I say that ant is ours. Yeah.

I see. Oh, they're probably just at the mall.

I should have been more careful with that thing. I'm sorry.

I sold a house. Really? That's great.

I start working on something, and I... I don't think about anything else.

I think she just needed a rest.

I think that went well.

I think the Thompsons need to see the couch.

I think this is the flagstone in the middle of the yard.

I think we should have them over more often.

I think we're still in your yard. How do you know?

I thought my folks are weird.

I was looking for the kids. Where, in a coal mine?

I was too popular to notice.

I wonder what's for dinner, right, Russ?

I... I think so.

I... I think so.

I'd die for a strawberry sundae...

I'll give him a break. I'll break his arm.

I'll handle it. All right? How did this happen?

I'll let you cut the whole thing.

I'll show you how to work the machine. It's not that hard.

I'll... I'll let you mow half my yard.

I'm getting worried. I'm gonna go to the mall and look for the kids.

I'm gonna go get the Thompsons. Hang on, kids.

I'm gonna meet him at the mall later today.

I'm gonna try to fight it till I know if this is love

I'm helping my Dad with this real important new invention.

I'm meeting him at the mall. I don't know.

I'm never goin' back to your house. I'm goin' home.

I'm not a trespasser. I'm your father. Let me wash it off quick, hon.

I'm not panicked. Who's panicked? Nobody's panicked.

I'm over here. Then whose arm is this?

I'm scared.

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. This sort of thing happens all the time.

I'm the one on trial here?

I'm too little to breathe it in.

I'm warning you.

I've called the police. What's on your head?

I've died and gone to heaven. It's as big as a house.

If he finds us, he'll eat us. Let's get out of here.

If he wants to feel big, he should act big.

If Mom calls, tell her I'll be home by lunchtime.

If only Dad could get that machine to work.

If only we had some bug spray. That'd show him.

If they're smart, they ran away with the circus.

If we can get on him, he'll take us all the way back to the house.

If you guys are hiding up here...

If you took all the molecules in this house...

If you were my brother, I'd put myself up for adoption.

If... If we... If we had some logs.

Impossible. Time doesn't exist, except as a...

Is everyone okay?

Is that a chain saw?

It didn't take too long.

It just chased Quark away. It's Russ' stupid cat.

It never would've happened if their house wasn't so close.

It obviously worked on the kids. I just don't get it.

It shouldn't have been closed in the first place. It's a nice day.

It will take time to convince people without proof.

It works? The machine works?

It works.

It works. I It really works. Nick, get real.

It's a jungle out there. They're gonna head...

It's all in my head. Don't worry.

It's already 1:00. So much for the mall.

It's Charlie Sudzen's. Just tell her what you did.

It's funny.

It's just that my dad doesn't understand your dad.

It's just the way he thinks.

It's Nick. Oh, Nicky.

It's not a river, dope. It could be a stream of dog pee,

It's not for you.

It's okay with me. Yeah, me too, I guess.

It's Quark.

It's supposed to be thick. It's grass.

It's that stupid cat of theirs. Our cat is not stupid.

It's the Forresters. What are we gonna tell 'em?

It's too big.

It's us. Dad.

It's very delicate, the lawn.

Jeez, the conference. I gotta get going.

Just one ant. When is the last time...

Keep looking. Nick?

Knock it off, Ron.

Know what happened? I put on 20 pounds of pure, unadulterated...

Later, worm.

Let him go. Look out.

Let's climb.

Let's go before he brings the rest of them.

Let's go.

Let's negotiate this. I'm your brother, Russ.

Let's roll, Gloria. But, but...

Let's swim it.

Listen, Nick, I gotta get

Listen. Are you guys home?

Look in there.

Look out. Nick, the others...

Look, Diane, if things go well...

Look, either you tell them or I tell them, okay?

Look, I finished mine. Looks just like yours, huh?

Look, Ron, down here, you're gonna listen to me.

Look. It's the rest of them. Yeah.

Looks like you got a new pet. Dumb ant doesn't know...

Low bridge.

Lug your stuff.

Mae hasn't been feeling too well.

Managed to shrink one thing...

Maybe I can still go out...

Maybe this is just all a bad dream.

Maybe you could be the mound. Ronald.

Maybe you oughta go on ahead.

Maybe. Yeah.

Meat loaf.

Meow.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

Mm, did you get the machine to work?

Mm, give the guy a break.

Mom.

Mr. Szalinski, are you trying to tell me that...

Mr. Szalinski. Down here.

Mr. Szalinski. Up here.

Mud is still mud, no matter how small you are.

My allowance? Dream on.

My couch.

My dad's machine works.

Nick doesn't play baseball.

Nick said I could cut it... When did you see Nick?

Nick, be careful.

Nick, get over there. Over there. You guys...

Nick, give me your hand.

Nick, I want you to mow the lawn. Amy...

Nick, I've got six hours to get home, get big and get to the mall.

Nick, if that's Paul Tate, I'm gonna kill you.

Nick, it's one of your cookies.

Nick, take him upstairs and get him his ball. And clean up the mess.

Nick, what did you do? Me? It was his ball.

Nick, you know what Dad said.

Nick?

Nick?

Nick? Are you there, kids?

Nick? Amy?

Nick? Amy?

Nick? Nick, are you all right?

Nick.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick. Get off and give us a hand.

Nick... Ron?

Nick's trying to say something. Baseball.

Nicky, be careful.

Nicky, help me. She did it.

Nicky, no. Get off of him. Nick, the wrong end.

Nicky, take this thing.

Nicky, you're allergic to ants. Get away from him.

Nicky.

Nicky.

Nicky.

Nicky.

Nicky.

Nicky. Go, Nick.

Nicky. Ron?

Nicky. Get out of there.

Nicky's not absent. He's pinned to this note.'

Night, Antie.

No jury in the world would fail to convict you.

No problem. See you later.

No reason this shouldn't work now. Huh?

No toxic waste. Fine.

No, Cathy, I just thought they might have stopped by.

No, Dad. Dad.

No, dear. You know I've given that up.

No, he's gonna be okay.

No, I don't like the way he said it. No need to get upset, Mr. Thompson.

No, it's more like our lawn mower, I think.

No, Patty, no, no. There's nothing to worry about.

No, thanks.

No, they broke up for religious differences.

No, worse. Lawn mower.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Back the other way.

No. He only smokes when he's really worried about something.

No. I gotta load the camper, Ron. I'm busy.

No. Mom and Dad had an argument last night...

Nobody saw it but you.

Nope.

Not bad.

Not now, Quark.

Not really, Dad. Not really?

Not really. I'd love to.

Not with my babies out here all alone.

Nothin' like a hard day's work.

Now get moving.

Now, I'll make you a little bet. If you work out for three months...

Now, uh, lift with your legs, not with your back.

Now, why don't you do what you're paid to do?

Now.

Oh, another missing children report.

Oh, come on.

Oh, don't worry, honey. I'll get 'em out.

Oh, great. We just have to get back to the house.

Oh, gross. Watch out for the crack.

Oh, I can't. I've got to hang around a while and keep an eye on Nick.

Oh, I don't.

Oh, I knew my boys wouldn't run away.

Oh, I love toasts.

Oh, it's a remote control.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Look at this.

Oh, no, not again.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. What is it, Nick?

Oh, no. What's a river doing in your yard?

Oh, okay, it's 646...

Oh, uh, hi, Dr. Maynard. Don't take it too hard, Wayne.

Oh, Wayne. I failed, Diane.

Oh, whoa. Whoa.

Oh. How did everything go this morning?

Oh. Russ. Ron.

Okay, guys, let's get moving. Can't be much farther.

Okay, listen. If you see them, would you send them home?

Okay, Ron. Maybe you're right.

Okay, Szalinski, shoot.

Okay, we'll just have Dad pay for it, huh?

Okay? Get that side. Anybody up there?

Okay.

Okay. But don't be too late. Okay, thanks.

Okay. I have a house to show...

Okay. You tell 'em.

One, two, three.

Onward.

Ow.

Ow. Nick?

Pitching. Um...

Please don't die.

Please give us a call if you hear from the boys.

Please, please, shrink.

Plug that in.

Plumbing.

Proud of you. I got better.

Quark, get away from there.

Quark, sit. Sit, Quark.

Quark. Your dog?

Quark. Quark.

Quiet. To him, we're the bugs.

Quit pushing. Move over.

Quit? I thought he was cut.

Really, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so late.

Really? Sorry about the grass stains, Mom.

Remember that.

Reminds me of the backyard.

Right here. Szalinski.

Right, Gloria. Don, uh, something's come up.

Right, her and me both.

Right.

Ron Thompson at the plate. Bottom of the ninth. It's a clutch situation.

Ron, be careful.

Ron, get down.

Ron, get out. Quick. Get away.

Ron, get up. You're just a nightmare.

Ron, go for it.

Ron? Well, I guess I gotta...

Ronald?

Run, Nick.

Run.

Run. Run.

Russ, don't let go.

Russ, help. Help him.

Russ, you comin' down, or what?

Russ?

Russ?

Russ? Tell me the truth.

Russ.

Russ. Nicky.

Russ. You are a nutcase,

Russ. Help.

Russell, gimme a hand here.

Russell, I shouldn't be telling you this, but he was cut from...

Russell, the Szalinski kids are missing too.

Russell, there's a few things about yourself I think you should know.

Russell, you're not smoking a cigarette, are you?

Russell, you've got to understand. These kids aren't...

Russell?

Russell. Why do I feel like

Russell. Gimme a hand here.

Russell...

Say good morning, Sushi.

She thought she was God and he disagreed.

She's all right.

She's w... Thank you.

She's working, Nick. She'll be home this afternoon.

Shh. It's creating too much heat.

Shrink.

Shut up, wimp. We have to get Dad.

Shut up. My brother's up there too.

Sit down.

So I'm not helping. Russell, you've got to understand...

So your Dad's still in contact with his home planet.

So, if this works, you wanna go to the dance on Friday?

So, mm...

So, y... You like to dance, huh?

Somebody take this cookie.

Somebody, help me. Yeah.

Something here between us is something that I can't resist

Something tells me we're not going fishing this weekend.

Sorry, boy. I need the parts.

Sorry, I... Look. I'm positive about this, okay?

Sounds like Dad. He'll fix us.

Sounds like... It's semaphore, Mae.

Sounds more like a swarm of...

Stand back. Oh, honey, you're so brave.

Stay here.

Stay there. There's glass everywhere here now.

Stop it. Whoa.

Stop. Dad.

Stop. Don't kill us. Dad, don't kill us.

Stop. Sit. Sit, boy.

Super Glue. Super Glue?

Swinging?

Szalinski, do they pick up your trash the same day they get ours?

Szalinski, don't do it. No. Mr. Szalinski.

Szalinski, give it a rest. It's Saturday.

Szalinski.

Tater Sticks.

Tell them.

Tell you what. You thrown in a box of cookies...

Thank you, Officer. We'd appreciate you sending somebody by.

Thanks for the lift, Antie.

That backyard is like ten miles.

That butterfly had a wingspan of 42 feet.

That guy's got serious problems.

That is the couch from the attic.

That should make you happy. Blow it out your shorts, Ron.

That should make you happy. Blow it out your shorts, Ron.

That was really great, what you did for Nick.

That's a long way, even for a man of science.

That's another thing I'm worried about.

That's great, Nick. You know, Dad, I was calculating.

That's like bench pressing a bulldozer.

That's not what I meant.

That's the equivalent of 3.2 miles.

That's why everything was blowing up.

The baseball, Dad.

The bigger the guy, the bigger the moon.

The early worm catches the fish, Russell.

The extension cord was a bad idea.

The machine shrunk our kids. You're the one...

The one from the attic? Yeah.

The point is, Coach put me on these babies.

The subject has disappeared.

The whole Szalinski family's gonna be in jail for life.

There he goes with his writing again. Don't you ever say anything?

There was a bee on me. Yeah, right.

There... I see nothing wrong with wanting to take my son fishing.

There's a big fish out there with your name on it.

These kids aren't you. Baseball.

They are happy kids, and there's no way you can...

They sell that kind of stuff at swap meets.

They take it okay? Mae.

They'd better behave themselves.

They'll be fine.

They're about this big. They're in the backyard.

They're in the backyard. They are?

They're never gonna believe this at school.

They're never gonna find us.

Think they'll be warm enough? They look fine to me.

This gizmo's been blowing up fruit. Now, you're not trying it on my kids...

This guy is a waste of skin.

This is a microscope. I know.

This is getting ridiculous. Where the hell are those kids?

This is like a safari. Hey.

This is the burrow of a Lumbricus terrestris.

Threw them out with the trash.

Throwing.

To the Thompsons and the Szalinskis and many more dinners together.

Tommy, stop the lawn mower. Tommy.

Tommy, stop.

Tommy. Tommy.

Tommy. Tommy.

Tommy. Tommy.

Tubular.

Turn it up...

Turn me in, and I'll tell all that you spend your allowance on... Uuh.

Typing with his gloves on again.

Ugh. Where did that come from?

Uh huh. Where's your proof?

Uh, but I have to go and meet Newt right now.

Uh, could I do it later?

Uh, my brother has something to tell you, or else I could tell her.

Uh, no, I... Yeah, I could. But I wasn't watching you. I...

Uh, we're the Boorsteins.

Uh, yeah, um, I would like to report, um, two missing children.

Um, Dad, you... you know that weights aren't my thing.

Um...

Until you pay, no man shall pass.

Up here, Dad. Quick, over there by the door.

Veal 'parmedjian.'

Wait a minute. It's our cookie. I say we fight for it.

Wait a second.

Wait.

Wait. Uh, uh, flapping.

Watch out.

Wayne?

Wayne? Yeah?

Wayne.

Wayne...

Wayne...

We are camping, Ron, only better.

We could be anywhere now.

We could ride him and get back to the house in no time.

We haven't seen you around much lately. Well, I've been working a lot.

We just gotta keep our eyes open. Help.

We were right under their noses, and they didn't even see us.

We'll make it, Nick.

We'll take it out of my allowance. Gimme my ball back.

We're caravanning, good buddy.

We're down here. Mr. Szalinski.

We're not gonna make it before dark.

We're now a quarter of an inch tall...

We've got to do something. He's just a baby.

We've got to get up early and come out here and look for them.

We've just got to get this family back together.

Weights aren't your thing. Just what is your thing?

Weird family.

Weird family.

Well, come on.

Well, did you tell them I was coming home?

Well, I think we have enough to get started.

Well, I think we should stick together.

Well, instead of flapping your gums about it,

Well, like what? Well, I think you need to sit down.

Well, look who's decided to join the land of the living.

Well, that's right, Professor Frederickson, that all matter is...

Well, the fishing report looks stellar. Let's make exhaust...

Well, the machine analyzes the molecular structure of each compound...

Well, they gotta be somewhere. Did you check next door?

Well, this isn't the Big Russ Thompson I know.

Well, until now, the machine just blew things up.

Well, we can't stay here.

Well, you better get it, Szalinski. Russ, you're not helping.

Well... Well, actually, it's not my ball exactly.

Wh... Where is it? Come on.

What a day.

What a wimp. Been looking for that guy.

What a witch.

What about the conference? Meow.

What about you, Amy? He saved you too.

What do you mean he was afraid to tell me? He could tell me anything he wants.

What do you take me for? A complete idiot?

What do you... What do you mean you don't think you're gonna be able to make it?

What if time shrunk too? I mean, what if it's hours to us,

What is he, deaf?

What is it, Ron? Antie needs a recharge.

What is it? Earthquake.

What is it? It sounds like Mom.

What is it? One of my Legos.

What is this? I don't know, but I hope...

What time is Mom coming home? Later. Listen, we gotta make...

What was that? Ow.

What? And the Thompson kids too.

What? Honey, please. What he doesn't...

What? You let a girl tell you what to do?

What's 'Uh huh' supposed to mean? Russell.

What's going on? Hi. Um...

What's that? It's Dad's thinking couch.

What's the matter with him? What do you mean, shush?

What's the matter with you? I'm on a special diet.

What's with this kid? He's 12.

What's wrong? He can't whistle.

When Einstein came up with the atomic bomb, did they ask...

When I get up, Dad and I'll be going fishing.

When we get home and he fixes us all, we're gonna be so rich.

Where are the kids? I haven't seen them...

Where are we?

Where are you?

Where you going?

Where? On the phone.

Where'd you learn artificial respiration?

Where's my couch?

Whistle.

Who does he think he is, Mister Wizard?

Who wants bread?

Who wants bread?

Who wants bread? Save some room for cake.

Whoa, my kids did not run away.

Whoa.

Whoa. Oh. Ow.

Why can't Russell be more like that? Oh, honey, just give him a chance.

Why didn't I think of this before? I could take a wild guess.

Why didn't you tell us earlier?

Why don't we let him go? He's worn out, and his family...

Why don't you go help your sister?

Why don't you go out and...

Why don't you stay here in case they come back?

Why don't you take that one? Are you sure?

Why? I shrunk the kids.

Why? Does he pick on you about your size?

Wow. With that?

Yeah, but I want some sleep. We've got a four hour drive ahead of us.

Yeah, he can. Dogs have great ears.

Yeah, honey. ...all the way...

Yeah, I could just see the note to the teacher.

Yeah, I hope your face ends up on a milk carton.

Yeah, I never thought of it that way, you know.

Yeah, right. How are you going, as bait?

Yeah, so think of what he could do to us.

Yeah, this afternoon around 5:00.

Yeah, well, it's a priority for me.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Yeah? How come you never came over before?

Yeah. A few more bugs to get out, but...

Yeah. Even if we did, the mall would be closed.

Yeah. I don't even have to brush my teeth.

Yeah. I'd rather sleep down here.

Yeah. Producing oxygen, Russ. We've all gotta do our part.

Yeah. Tell that to my dad.

Yeah...

Yes, Mother.

Yes, sir.

Yes?

You can go now.

You could see me? No.

You don't even work.

You don't want to overwater, really.

You ever see how fast ants go?

You got it, honey. Sure?

You got nothin' to say about it, space boy.

You guys, come on.

You had to bring the dog. I don't want to hear any more about the cat.

You have a little spat with the kids... Whoa. We did not have a spat.

You haven't seen Ronnie or Russ, have you?

You know how to whistle. You just put your lips together and blow.

You know me. I'll always listen.

You know something, maybe I should do it on myself.

You know something? I can't find Nick and Amy.

You know what it's like in jail?

You know, it's not important...

You know, it's not unusual for these runaways to...

You know, the jungles are receding everywhere.

You mean we're halfway there? Yeah, I think so.

You move over.

You see anything yet? It's too thick.

You see, that's the couch that used to be sitting right over here,

You smacked me around.

You tell him the truth? Honey.

You think you can handle that?

You think you'll be warm enough?

You were kind of upset about Russ quitting the team, hon.

You, Mr. Szalinski, are hardly Einstein.

You'd been grateful. Russ, he is too small for football.

You'll go to jail too. I'll tell them after a big bee ate my brother,

You'll regret this.

You're free. You get home now.

You're not supposed to be playing up here.

You're wiping away brain cells, and there aren't many to spare.

Your dad doesn't understand anything.

Your lawn's beginning to look like the Amazon.

Your sister's not bad. Nicky.

Your stuff all loaded? Ready to fire.

Zap.

646 Sycamore. Yes.

...across the yard, for miles.

...all over the neighborhood.

...and 64 feet from the house.

...and he'll go to jail. Your mother too.

...and if you did do something to my kids, there's gonna be pieces of you...

...and Mom spent the night at Grandma's.

...and then I'll be home this afternoon and we'll talk.

...and then through laser inversion, it takes all the...

...and you will be hitting harder than anybody else on that team.

...and...

...blitz the quarterback and rip his head off muscle, Russell.

...but when I was your age, I was not much bigger than you.

...carve this thing, huh?

...could come any second.

...especially with an $80 deposit on the line.

...first man in space.

...good luck.

...have time to mess around.

...him to prove that it worked?

...if I sell another house...

...if the Boorsteins come by, their escrow papers are in my briefcase.

...in any given object, we can thereby shrink the object.

...like my own brother and sister.

...made up of not only density, but of empty space.

...make me believe that they ran away.

...might be worried about him.

...or if you get a grant this year or next.

...since I left this morning.

...slam.

...suddenly size is no longer relative?

...the football team yesterday.

...the savings to the space programme would be staggering.

...the size of this audience.

...this morning, everything'll change around here, I promise you.

...this.

...this'll put us up there with the invention of electricity...

...to ask me if I had a date to the dance.

...until you try it on something living.

...we could make a log bridge.

...what's best for him.

...whatever lived here has moved out.

...while the sun still shines, huh?

...who needs a shrink, Szalinski.

...with chocolate sprinkles, and a banana split.

...with little Russ Thompson.

...you saw just one ant?

...you talked to me once or twice last year.

...you will be throwing farther, you will be running faster...

'Dear Miss Mason:

'I'll be down in five minutes.'

'Plumbing'?

'Safer'?
