and let's get this over with.

Close your eyes!

Kiss me.

All right. Let's go.

Dennis, come on.

Oh, gosh.

Acting like a baby.

Get up!

Right this instant!

Don't you dare embarrass me!

Fine, I'll drag you inside.

You guys are the boring ones.

There's lots to do.

Oh, really? Like what?

We could practice singing songs.

Or put on a play...

or a puppet show.

- We could bury you alive.

- I could pound your face.

It doesn't matter, anyways, Margaret.

We'll be leaving soon

and we have work to do.

We're going to make a fort.

You can't leave unless I go with you,

or I'll tell on you.

So, tough kitty paws, I'm going.

Climb down from there. I'll get my purse.

This thing's been here our whole life

and we never knew it.

- Do you think anybody lives in it?

- Just squirrels and birds.

It looks kind of junky.

We'll fix it up.

Good. I'll be the decorator.

We'll put on a special room for the babies

and a powder room for guests.

Forts don't have powder rooms.

Really?

Where do the soldiers' wives go

to freshen up?

Soldiers don't have wives, stupid.

Don't call me stupid, baby rump kisser!

It won't be a fort. It'll be a house.

A love nest.

Let's go up and see

what color carpet we should get.

Do forts got carpet?

Nope.

Forts don't got carpet!

They do now, hot lips!

The Selection Committee has informed...

Mrs. Butterwell and I...

that this summer's Floraganza

will be held in the garden of...

Can you read this here?

You take these and I'll take those.

There we go. The garden of...

George Wilson!

One Mississippi,

two Mississippi, three Mississippi...

four Mississippi, five Mississippi.

Six Mississippi...

seven Mississippi, eight Mississippi,

nine Mississippi.

Gunther, are you watching

where everybody goes?

Yep.

Girls. Now...

Let's go!

You know,

I was unbeatable at hide-and-seek.

Hiding or seeking?

Both. I had a nose for hiding places.

I wouldn't think you'd be much good

at hiding.

Why not?

Weren't you a fat boy?

I was husky.

Ready or not, here I come!

I see Joey and Mike!

Run, Mikey!

He's cheating.

What are you doing?

Dennis is cheating.

He's using the Beckman kid as a spy.

Leave them alone, George.

I'll even things up.

Gunther, I'm just talking to your daddy

on the telephone.

He's going to the ice-cream store.

He wants to take you with him.

Hurry up and go home!

Now it's fair.

You lied to a toddler, George.

Think how disappointed he will be

when he gets home.

He better get used to it. Disappointment

will be a big part of his life.

He's a foot short for his age.

And he's cross-eyed.

Ain't that a pretty sight?

I bet they don't even lock their doors.

You won't notice a toy store
