Make those monster

faces, Hatchet. Please.

[Howling]

[Children screaming]

Goddamn gopher's

digging up my front yard.

What are you teenagers waiting for?

Turkey Point is open for business!

Let's celebrate!

[All cheering]

Come on. Come on, everybody. Come on in.

Today's a special day for

me and your grandmother.

We've been together 10 whole years.

[All whooping]

I'm just so proud of

all my Drape children.

Oh, Wanda, you sure is

pretty in them tight clothes

all painted up like trash.

I wish you and Belvedere

were my parents.

Oh.

Now, Milton,

boy, you are everything a man should be.

You're young, stupid, and mean.

We're gonna play some cool

music for you tonight, Ramona.

And, Hatchet-Face. Oh, honey.

You're just like me.

Now, you put the "T" in "tough."

So hard, you could've been

eating nails for breakfast.

But that's the way a

woman's got to be these days.

I'd kick a Square's ass for

you in a minute, Mrs. Rickettes.

Oh, this is the best gang

my grandson could ever have.

Grandma, I'm so happy all knocked up

I wish I was having triplets.

Well, we got a little surprise

for your young one in your oven.

You show her, Bel.

Sure will.

(Cry-Baby) Oh, Pep, ain't that cute?

It's beautiful, Grandma.

Cry-Baby.

When you was a boy, you had

to be the man of this family.

But I taught you how to dress, didn't I?

You sure did, Uncle Belvedere.

Yeah, well, you're the future now, boy.

You're the only future for

this godforsaken family.

And I want you to go out

there tonight and sing, boy.

I want you to sing your heart out.

You can show him now, Belvedere.

This took a lot of hubcaps, Cry-Baby.

[Gasping]

[All cheering]

Grandmother, Uncle Belvedere,

you've made me the happiest

juvenile delinquent in Baltimore.

And guess what?

[Motorcycle engine rumbling]

I met a girl!

# My friends all know it #

# How I adore him #

# I've whispered to angels #

# What I'd do for him #

# He is the answer #

# To a teenage prayer #

# He won't go steady #

# The crowd has told me #

# But I keep waiting #

# To have him hold me #

# Why won't you listen #

# To a teenage prayer #

# I wait by the window at seven #

# and chill when my thrill passes by #

# His kiss could send me to heaven #

# Into his arms I would fly #

##[My Heart Goes by Nappy Brown playing]

# My heart goes #

# Piddily patter,

patter piddily patter #

# Every time I look at you ##

(Allison) # My girlfriend, Betty #

# Tells me, he's lazy #

# But I know Betty #

# Loves him like crazy #

# He is the answer #

# To a teenage prayer #

# Yes, he's the answer ##

[siren alarm blaring]

All right, girls. What this is,

this is unfortunately a red alert.
