Nobody move! Sherman, I've got to get you out of here before you touch yourself!

Scenes with Mr. Peabody
19 scenes
Mr. Peabody, you're a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, a world-renowned explorer, an advisor to heads of state, a captain of industry. Why would you want to adopt a boy?
Mr. Peabody Because, your honor, when I found Sherman, it reminded me of how I started out in life. And now, I am going to give him the one thing I always wanted: a home.
And you're sure you're capable of meeting all the challenges of raising a human boy?
Mr. Peabody With all due respect, how hard could it be?
[lowers his glasses]
Very well then. If a boy can adopt a dog, I see no reason why a dog cannot adopt a boy.
[The Judge bangs his gavel and an off screen person hands Baby Sherman to Peabody and hugs him]
Dada!
Mr. Peabody No, Sherman, not "Dada". You shall call me "Mr. Peabody", or in less formal moments, simply "Peabody".
Mr. Peababa?
Mr. Peabody That's right. Mr. Peababa. [Hugs Sherman and holds him up for a photo shot]
Mr. Peabody [Brief pause]
I have a deep regard for you, as well, Sherman. [Turns off the light and leaves the room]
[Mr. Peabody comes to check on Sherman and Penny] [Angrily]
Why didn't you tell me she was coming over here?!
Mr. Peabody Because I didn't want you to worry. [Sherman groans with annoyance] Okay. Because I didn't want to listen to your bellyaching!
[sticks his tongue through his gritted teeth, softly and furiously]
Thank you for your honesty!
Mr. Peabody You're welcome.
Mr. Peabody Share your interests. Tell her a witty anecdote.
Mr. Peabody, I... hate... her.
Mr. Peabody Sherman, every great relationship starts from a place of conflict, and evolves into something richer. [A dumbstruck Sherman stares at Mr. Peabody blankly.] Bonne chance. [closes the door, but comes back in] Make it work. [closes it, but comes back in again] But don’t tell her about the WABAC. [closes it and leaves]
You know, Penny, Sigmund Freud says if you don't like a person, it's because they remind you of something you don't like about yourself.
More than you think.
[faces him; sarcastically]
Sure. Just like you knew all that stuff about George Washington not really cutting down a cherry tree. [stands up from a chair] Ugh! What a crock!
How do you know?
I just know!
Did you read it in a book?
No.
See it in a movie?
No.
Did your brainiac dad tell you?
No!
[advances toward him, pointing a threatening finger at him]
Then how do you know, Sherman? How... do... you... know?
He told me!
Who told you?
George Washington! [gasps, puts a hand over his mouth]
Yeah. [Covers his mouth again]
[Scoffs]
Liar. [Sherman pauses for a minute after he accidentally told Penny, as he remembers what Peabody told him]
Mr. Peabody [in Sherman's mind]
Don't tell her about the WABAC.
Mr. Peabody [To Sherman, who just returned from the WABAC room]
I've really hit off with Penny's parents. I think we can file this night under "Unqualified Success".
I'd hold off filing it just yet.
Mr. Peabody What do you mean? [looks around] Where's Penny?
Mr. Peabody [gasps in shock]
You used the WABAC?! [growls in frustration]
Paul Peterson What's happening, big guy? We're a little low.
Mr. Peabody [continues growling in frustration, then turns to the Petersons]
I'll be right there, Paul. [to Sherman; softly and angry] How could you do such a thing?!
She called me a liar for saying George Washington never cut down a cherry tree!
Mr. Peabody So you took her to see George Washington?!
Yeah... She was into it.
Why not?
Well, for 1 - his name rhymes with butt!
I don't care. I going to have a big fat Egyptian wedding!
Mr. Peabody Spoiler alert - King Tut dies young. Are you sure you've thought this through?
Oh, trust me, I've thought it through. I'm getting everything.
Mr. Peabody He is Ay.
He is you?
Ay I am Ay, the Grand Vizier.
Mr. Peabody Yeah, that's his name.
Oh.
Mr. Peabody Yes, Sherman?
Can I hold your hand?
Mr. Peabody Of course, you can.
Mr. Peabody Sherman?
Yeah?
Mr. Peabody [ignites a torch]
That's not my hand.
[notices that he's holding a mummified hand]
Ahhh! [Jerks away the hand and the arm dislocates and falls to the ground] Ahhhhhh! [jumps into Peabody's empty arm]
Mr. Peabody That's disarming.
Mr. Peabody [Peabody and Sherman are escaping the tomb, but they ran into a puzzle room]
Ah, ah, ah! Careful, Sherman. It's a booby trap. [Sherman laughs] What's so funny?
You said "booby"! [Continues laughing, but suddenly stops as he notices Peabody's glare]
Mr. Peabody One wrong step and we're done for.
Ay [Mr. Peabody and Sherman are inside the mouth of the statue of Anubis, impersonating him to call off the wedding]
But Anubis, the sun god Ra has decreed that this girl is to be the boy king's wife!
Mr. Peabody [as Anubis]: That's so funny. I was talking to the sun god Ra just the other day, and he told me he'd changed his mind. "Old Flip-Flop Ra", we call him here in the Underworld.
Ay Really? But it's too late! We've already paid for the catering!
Mr. Peabody [as Sherman spews fire out of the statue's mouth]
Too bad, you're going to lose your deposit!
Mr. Peabody [to Leonardo; about Sherman]
Why can't children be simple?
Leonardo
Children are not machines, Peabody. I tried to build one... It was creepy. [sputters at the thought]
Da Vinci
[spots his flying machine]
Hey, look-a, Peabody! It's my flying machi–! My flying machine?!
Mr. Peabody [notices that Sherman and Penny are on board]
Sherman, Sherman!? Sherman, what are you doing up there?!
Mr. Peabody But Sherman, you don't know how to fly!
Mr. Peabody No!
I'm sorry I broke the plane, Mr. Peabody.
Mr. Peabody [angrily]
Well, you should be! You could've been killed!
Mr. Peabody Sherman destroyed a priceless historical artifact.
Whatever. You should be happy. Turns out that Sherman's not a complete and total loser after all.
[stands up proudly]
Yeah, Mr. Peabody! Turns out I'm not a complete and total loser after all.
Mr. Peabody [Peabody gives him a firm look and Sherman shrinks back into his seat] [to Penny]
Miss Peterson, stop turning my son into a hooligan!
It's not my fault he's a hooligan.
Yeah, it's not her fault I'm a hooligan.
Mr. Peabody [raising his voice]
Well, its certainly not my fault! I've spent the last 7 years teaching Sherman good judgment!
If you're such a great parent, why is Miss Grunion trying to take Sherman away from you?
[Mr. Peabody shrinks back and looks down sadly as Sherman goes into a deep shock] [gets up from his chair]
Is that true? Is somebody gonna take me away from you?
Mr. Peabody [regaining composure]
No, Sherman. I'll never let that happen. You just need to trust me. Oh dear. A blackhole.
[Peabody, Penny and an angry Sherman are trying to evade a black hole in the WABAC]
Why didn't you tell me?!
Mr. Peabody [concentrating on the controls]
Tell you what?!
Mr. Peabody It's not your job to worry about these things!
Mr. Peabody You'll discuss it later. Now, sit down.
Mr. Peabody [firmly]
Sherman, sit.
[muttering, sits back in his seat and turns away]
You can't talk to me like that. I'm not a dog.
Mr. Peabody [shocked]
What did you say?
Mr. Peabody [hurt]
You're right, Sherman! You're not! [angrily] You're just a very bad boy!
Odysseus [holds a mini figure of the Trojan Horse]
Someone left this for us!
A present. Nice! It looks just like our horse.
Odysseus [pause]
Should I bring it inside?
Greek Soldiers
[Odysseus brings the horse inside and Peabody pops out of it]
Ahhh!
Mr. Peabody [he and Penny hop out of the horse]
Greetings men of Sparta, Athens and Thebes, Peabody here. I've come for Sherman.
Then he must be a spy. [to his men] KILL HIM!
Greek
[confused]
Your dad?
It's an adoptive relationship (but the opposite).
Awww!
Mr. Peabody Thank you for taking care of my son, Agamemnon, but it is time for him to come home.
Sorry, Mr. Peabody. I've joined the Greek Army.
Shermanus
I'm his brother.
Mr. Peabody [protesting]
He is my son.
He took an oath!
Shermanus
I took an oath.
Mr. Peabody He's 7!
[Agamemnon and his men are preparing to ambush the Trojans; Sherman tries to join up with him, but Peabody and Penny get in his way]
Zeus on 3! 1...
Mr. Peabody [Desperately]
Sherman, I absolutely forbid you to fight in the Trojan War!
[Defiantly]
Its not fair! [Walks beside them] All my friends are fighting in the Trojan War.
2...
Mr. Peabody Sherman, it's dangerous!
I'm wearing a helmet!
3...!
Mr. Peabody You're not going!
Oh, yes, I am!
Zeus! [he, Sherman, and the Greeks begin to ambush the Trojans]
[Peabody, Sherman and Penny are fleeing to the WABAC after Peabody bit Miss Grunion]
I can't believe you bit her, Mr. Peabody.
Mr. Peabody I know, Sherman. It was wrong.
Wrong? It was awesome!
Mr. Peabody [As Sherman heads for school]
Sherman, wait!
Yes, Mr. Peabody?
Mr. Peabody I... I love you, Sherman. (And I'm sorry I called you a bad boy.)
