| abstract | - (Tommy, Angelica, and Chuckie are in Mrs. Pickle's car at Tommy's house, waiting to be taken to see a Dummi Bears concert. Tommy's dog is trying to get into the car. In the background, the Dummi Bears theme song plays, repeating over and over the lyrics "Sing a happy happy happy happy happy happy song.") Tommy: Poor Spike! He wants to go to the Dummi Bears concert too. Chuckie: (laughing) This is going to be the "bestest" show ever Tommy. Do you think Jelly Bear will be there? I hope so. Maybe we can get a poster or, or a picture. Maybe I'll even get to meet Jelly Bear. Oh my gosh. What would I say to him? I hope he sings this song. (starts singing) "Happy happy happy happy happy -" Angelica: Hey, you're wrecking the song! Charlotte: (on the phone to her assistant) Jonathan, I'm going to a Dummi Bears concert. Don't complain to me about your day. Didi: Thanks for taking the kids, Charlotte. I would have, but the cheese festival only comes once a year, and this year's theme is Camombaire, and you know how Stu always- Charlotte: It's no problem Didi. Didi: Are you sure you're going to be all right? You seem so busy. Charlotte: I've got everything under control. Charlotte: Ugh, that eternal noise. (turns off music) Say bye-bye to Mommy! Jonathan: (on the phone) Goodbye, Mommy. Charlotte: No, not you, Jonathan. Now patch me through to Wetherbee's office. Charlotte: (to the truck) Will you please choose a lane! (into the phone) I know Lloyd, but right now I've got a car full of Dummi Bears and I'm on my way to a babies concert. Scratch that. I've got a car full of - Oh never mind. Tommy: (laughing) Hey, Spike does get to go to the Dummi Bears. Angelica: He's not supposed to be here. He must have "snucked" in when we picked you babies up. Tommy: Oh, which one is your favorite Dummi Bear Spike? Charlotte: (thinks Angelica made the noise since she doesn't realize the dog is in the car, hands a tissue to Angelica) Cover your mouth sweetheart. (back on the phone, now Angelica start to antique gasp) Trust me Lloyd. I'll be there in three hours maximum. Tommy: What was that? Charlotte: (still on the phone) Or maybe four hours. Chuckie: Uh, eh, it was scary. It sounded like the car burped. Angelica: It didn't burp. It "broked." Charlotte: Don't worry kids. Everything is fine. I'll be right back. (gets out of car and notices the flat tire and gasps; calls Lloyd again on her cellular phone) Lloyd, I'll call you in twenty. Chuckie: Oh, do you think we're going to miss the Dummi Bears concert? Angelica: Of course now. My mommy will call somebody to fix it and we'll be out of here real soon. Charlotte: (still on the phone) What do you mean, two hours! Arghghg! Well, I've leveraged a hostile take over while reorganizing subordinated debt. I suppose I can change a tire. Charlotte: Huh, no jack. (gets into the front seat) You kids be patient. There's just a little problem with the car. Angelica: But Mommy. We're going to miss the very very beginning of the show, and that's my very "favoretist" part. Charlotte: I know sweetheart, but Mommy can't do anything without a jack. Here, thumb through these stock offerings. It shouldn't be too long. Phone Voice: Hello. Charlotte: Yeah, Lloyd. It's me again. Chuckie: Who's Jack? Angelica: He's the person that fixes car. Do I have to teach you everything. Chuckie: There must be a bazillion people out there. I wonder which one is Jack? Tommy: (getting out of his seat) Well, we're just going to have to find him, or we'll never get to the show. Chuckie: But, uh, maybe we should wait you guys. Angelica' s mommy said it wouldn't be too long. Angelica: That's what grownups always say when it's gonna to take forever. Don't you want to see the Dummi Bears live on stage and the final "daformance" of their laser "spangtacular." Chuckie: I guess you're right. Tommy: Atta boy Chuckie! Angelica: Of course I'm right. Now give me that blankie. Chuckie: (sighs) Oh. Charlotte: (still on the phone) I'm taking numbers, syntax, and context. Oh, and another thing Lloyd - Tommy: (to dog) You stay there Spike. We'll be right back. Well, I guess we'll have to search the whole world. So let's start here. (kids go into Montello's restaurant; musician singing and playing the accordion) We'll go over here Angelica. Host: Can I help you? Angelica: I'm looking for Jack. Host: Who's asking? Angelica: Hey, didn't you see my mouth move. Host: Jack is not available at this particular moment. Tommy: Wow, Jack is here! Host: Hey, should you not be with your mommy, little girl? Angelica: Listen, mister. I need Jack and I need him now. Waiter: Hey Vinnie. Ain't that Jack's kid? Host: Oh, oh, oh. My utmost apologies Miss Montello. I did not realize you was Jack's kid. Angelica: (playing along) Right, that's exactly who I am. Now get me Jack. I mean Daddy. Host: Just a second. Tony, keep an eye on her. Chuckie: How come Angelica didn't tell us her daddy was Jack? Tommy: Oh, I think she is just pretending. Jack: (voice only) This had better be important 'cause I told you not to bother me. Host: (opens the door) I think it is important boss. Jack: You think it's important. 'Cause if it is something you cannot handle, maybe I gotta get someone who can. Host: Oh, oh, no, no, no boss. We can handle it. I, I'm sorry I even knocked on your door. My sincerest apologies to you and yours. Accordion Player: (Singing) Those pesky dogs always wake me up in the morning. Host: The boss, I, I mean your daddy, he is not available right now. Angelica: But I need him. Host: I know, but you see, he is busy. Angelica: I don't care if he is busy. Waiter: Hey, how about we get you something to eat while you wait. I nice spumoni, perhaps? Angelica: I don't want balogna. I want Jack. Waiter: Not a balogna. A ice cream. Do you like ice cream. Angelica: Oh, um, what kinds do you have? Tommy: (peering with Chuckie from behind a chair) Oh, come on Chuckie. Tommy: He must be this way. Chuckie: Oh, I wish I, I wish Jelly Bear was here. Charlotte: You know Lloyd, that mink farm might be a good investment. Well, no, personally I'm not that fond of animals. Charlotte: (thinking it is the kids) Oh not now kids. (gives the dog a scone without looking at it) Here, have another scone and be quiet. Phone Voice: Hey, you can't say that to me. Charlotte: Not you Lloyd. Chuckie: Well, no Jack here. Hey, I got an idea. Let's go back to the car and hide. Tommy: We can't stop now Chuckie. We got to get the car fixed and get to the Dummi Bear concert. You see if Jack's in there and I'll check over here. Tommy: Is Jack in there? Chuckie: Nope, nothing in here. Chuckie: Oh, this is just a potty. (they get to Jack's office) Hey, do you think he's in there. Tommy: I don't- Host: (grabs the kids into private door) Hey, where did you two come from? Get away from that door kiddies. Let's go find your mommy and daddy. Accordion Player: (singing back in the main restaurant) If you want to come back - Angelica: Hmph, I need more cheese. How am I supposed to eat this without more cheese? Host: Just one moment Miss Montello. I just need to get these babi- Angelica: No, now. Or Daddy's going to hear about this. Host: Right, right. Of course, Miss Montello. Tommy: We couldn't find Jack, Angelica. Chuckie: Now we'll never see the show. Angelica: You babies are always griping about something. Hey you. Get over here Accordion Player: Yes, Miss Montello. Uh, what could I play for you? Angelica: Do you know the Dummi Bears song? Accordion Player: Hah, but of course. (starts singing) Sing a happy happy happy happy happy happy song. Chuckie: Wow. Angelica: See, just as good. Tommy: But Angelica, I wanted to see the real Dummi Bears and that means we got to find Jack. Angelica: Jack schmack. I've got everything I need right here. Hey waiter, more cherry soda. Tommy: But Angelica- Jack: Well, here's a little trio that's getting some special treatment. Angelica: Hey, buster. That's mine. Get your greasy paws off it. Jack: Well, we certainly have a mouth on us. Angelica: Yeah, well who let you into this smelly place. Jack: I own this smelly place. I'm Jack. Angelica: Umm, Mr. Daddy sir. It's me, your little butter cup? Jack: What's going on here. Host: Uh, it's your daughter, Gianna. Jack: That's not my Gianna. Angelica: Come on, I was only joking. Host: What should we go with her boss. Jack: Leave her, if she talked you goons out of all this stuff, she's got to have spunk. Angelica: I got spunk? Is that good? Host: What's your name little girl? Angelica: Angelica Pickles. Host: Angie? What could be bad about a girl named Angie? So, where is your mommy Angie? Angelica: She's right out front. We just came in here to ask you to fix our car so we can get to the Dummi Bears concert. Host: Dummi Bears? I love the Dummi Bears! Come on, let's take car of that car. Charlotte: Well, Lloyd. If you feel that way, the maybe it's best we didn't meet after all. Charlotte: Uh, Lloyd. I'll, I'll call you right back. Angelica: Mommy, we found Jack for you. Charlotte: Angelica. Kids, well, I thought you were... (the dog barks) Spike? Jack: Mrs. Pickles, Jack Montello. Charlotte: Mr. Montello. I'm not sure what happened here but thank you for bringing back my little girl and her friends. Jack: It's no problem. From the moment I saw your daughter in my restaurant I said this girl, she's got a lot of moxy. Charlotte: Well, she does have a lot of my strong points. Jack: (opening up the door to his limo) Now, if you'll allow me to drive, the Dummi Bears show starts in eight minutes. Charlotte: Yes, of course. Jack: I love that Jelly Bear.
