Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves Page #3

Hey, come on.

Okay. This is it.

Two days without mommies.

It will be hard.

It will be tough.

But I have every confidence

you'll make it...

if you follow these rules.

One:
don't raid the refrigerator

between meals.

Two:
take your vitamins after dinner.

Three:
no roller-blading in the house.

Four:
get rid of the Tiki Man.

Got it?

- Any other questions?

- Uh, yeah. Can I have some friends over?

- No.

- Come on, Mom. Don't you trust me?

Save it for the debating team,

Jenny. The answer is still no.

- But, Mom, I...

- Any other questions? Good. Bye, kids.

I love you.

Have fun and try

to relax, Diane.

You too. Have fun

and try to relax.

- You sure you're gonna be okay?

- We'll be fine.

- Bye, Mom.

- Bye, sweetie. Be careful, Mitchell.

Oh, wear pads

when you roller-blade.

And don't eat too much sugar.

It speeds up your metabolism.

And please put on a T-shirt under your...

under your pajamas tonight, okay?

Why don't you just put me

in a plastic bubble, why don't you?

I feel like I'm

forgetting something.

Which reminds me. Adam. Adam!

I just did the laundry...

so you'll have plenty

of clean underpants!

- I bet you they have lace on 'em.

- Oh, no!

Tighty-whiteys.

- Now what?

- You guys are all guests in my house this weekend...

and I want us to have

a good time.

So I planned a little

kick-off surprise.

We are gonna use marshmallows

and gumdrops...

to make models

of water molecules.

What do you think?

You're a maniac, Uncle Wayne.

I know. Anyway, we're gonna

put 'em together...

Oh, darn. I forgot

to get toothpicks.

I'm gonna need you guys to run

down to the mini mart for me.

How much do you think

toothpicks cost?

Oh, about six

or seven dollars a box.

Well, here's a ten.

If there's any change,

get yourselves some snacks.

But see if you can get back

within an hour or so, okay?

For molecule action.

- Come on, Mitch.

- Gee, Wayne.

It's not like you

to forget the toothpicks.

What? What's so funny?

It was just a ruse

to get them out of the house.

A ruse? Why?

To save Tiki Man.

I can't believe Diane's making

you throw this out. It's mint.

Tell me about it. I finally find something I want to do with

my MacArthur Genius grant money, and my wife vetoes it.

You've gotta learn

how to negotiate, Wayne.

- I bet I could talk Diane into letting you keep it.

- I got a plan.

- A little further.

- A little further.

- Whoa! - Tilt it

up. - Tilting up.

- Tip it.

- Tip it.

- Great.

- Great. Just great.

Just perfect.

The thing's

only seven feet tall.

Call me crazy. I think

Diane might notice this.

Not if I shrink it.

Wow.

- The machine looks beautiful.

- Yeah.

I got it out of mothballs
