Scenes with Nigel Thornberry

5 scenes
[The screen flashes as it cuts back to reveal that the tiger was the scene with camera circles showing the babies on a sandbox with Angelica Pickles holds Fluffy, and Spike playing with his toy. Fluffy then meows as the mustache Tommy was wearing falls off his face] [first words]

What are you diaper bags screaming 'bout?

[Tommy moves back as the scene switches to Angelica as Fluffy squirms in her arms causing Angelica to drop her as she walks to walk off the screen as the scene cuts and shows Fluffy walking across Tommy's, who was hanging half way out of the sandbox, back before jumping off and going back over to Angelica and rubbing against her legs]

We're about to get eaten by that ferocious Siberian tiger.

Were you pretending to be Nigel Strawberry again, Tommy?

[Tommy stands up on the edge of the sandbox]

Yeah, it's my hero and when I grow up I want to be just like him.

Pickles, you're not Nigel Strawberry. You're not even a Nigel Raspberry! [leans forward and blows a raspberry in Tommy's face causing him to fall and tumble backwards into the sandbox] You're never gonna have real adventures, you're just a backyard baby with a diaper Full of Dreams.

Phil DeVille
[Angelica cackles as she walks away with Fluffy.]

Wow. She's mean. Now, who wants to go look for cookies under stuff?

Lil DeVille

I do!

Phil DeVille

Okay, come on, follow me!

Nigel Thornberry
[Phil, Lil, and the other babies run off-screen towards the house as Tommy sadly sits on the sandbox. When Spike chewing on a chew toy as Tommy walks from behind the TV sits on the patio wall as he sniffs and wipes his face. Tommy then turns his attention to the TV when he hears Nigel Thornberry's voice.] [On TV]

The Panthera onca, commonly known as the jaguar seems determined to feast on my nether region, but not to worry. [As Tommy goes around to look at the TV Nigel is seen running from a jaguar before he then jumps into a boat as the scene cuts back to Tommy as Tommy smiled before it cuts back to the TV once more.] Well, faithful viewers our journey was a smashing success. [then falls into the river water] Until next time, this is Sir Nigel Thornberry of Sir Nigel Thorny berries Animal World. [gets back up as he is then seen fighting off alligators]

Lou Pickles

Why, hello, scout. Boy, rest your eyes for a second and ol' Thornberry's gator bait. Hey, boy that Sir Nigel gets in some real scrapes out there in the wild but he always manages to wiggle out of trouble somehow.
[Tommy smiles looking up at Lou.]

Hang on a sec, Mom. I'm picking up some lame-o soap opera.

Marianne Thornberry
[through walkie-talkie]

What is it this time, Debbie?

[sets some bread and a jar of peanut butter on the table]

Okay. I made everyone dinner, so, I shouldn't have to clean up too, right?

Eliza Thornberry

Mom, all she did was hand us a jar of peanut butter.

Marianne Thornberry

Can we talk about this when your father and I get home?

Yeah. Any ETA on that? 'Cause you've been gone since, like, yesterday.

Marianne Thornberry

We're still looking for the leopard at… Oh, Nigel! [filming Nigel as they run along] Over there! What's that?

Nigel Thornberry

That's… I see spots! [moves a tree limb out of the way and it hits Marianne in the face] Watch out for that limb, dearest.

Eliza Thornberry
[On the other side of the island… Marianne and Nigel return]

Debbie, they're here!

Ta-da! [exits the Comvee, holding a tray of coconut muffins and herbal tea] Homemade coconut muffins and fresh herbal tea.

Marianne Thornberry

Debbie, this is so sweet.

Nigel Thornberry

Oh, and these look heavenly. [drinks some tea and scarfs a muffin; mouthful] Afraid we must eat and run.

Marianne Thornberry
[pours a bowl of muffins into her arm and eats one]

Mmm. [mouthful] Ooh, really delicious, honey.

Eliza Thornberry

But you guys just got here!

Marianne Thornberry
[sighs]

I know, but the Foundation is expecting that footage today, and we still haven't got it. [sighs again] Nigel, I think we should split up.

Nigel Thornberry
[having to have heard that]

Dearest! I thought we were so happy. [Marianne stares at him] Oh... You mean to look for the leopard, don't you?

I can't believe this! You're always working. When's the last time we took a vacation?

Marianne Thornberry

But, Debbie, we travel all over the world.

I want a family vacation! You know, where we fight over the bar of hotel soap.

Eliza Thornberry

And Debbie hogs all the good towels?

And we order room service.

Eliza Thornberry

And we do dorky family activities?

Yes! Dorky sounds really good right now.

Marianne Thornberry

Well, girls, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you felt this strongly. I promise, as soon as we find the leopard, we'll do dorky family activities.

Nigel Thornberry

It's settled then.

Nigel Thornberry
[after regaining consciousness, back to his normal self]

Who are all you positively adorable children?

Susie Carmichael

We're shipwrecked. We went all over the island looking for you.

Angelica Pickles

I saved them, but then Carmichael tried to drive this tub-boat and now...

Susie Carmichael

We just want to go home.

Nigel Thornberry

Well, of course you do, young lady. And so we shall. Hmm. Bit of a pickle. No fuel left. The radar appears to be knocked out, which means I have no idea where we are and we're almost out of oxygen.

Angelica Pickles

I'm bored.

Nigel Thornberry

Yes, and there's that, too.

[through radio]

Angeli-tiki, come in! What's going on down there?!

Nigel Thornberry

Deborah? Is that you?

[happily]

Dad! You're back to normal! [on radio] Well, Dad-normal anyway.

Marianne Thornberry
[takes the coconut radio; relieved]

Oh, Nigel, thank goodness you're all right. Can you bring her to the surface?

Nigel Thornberry
[through radio]

Impossible at the moment, dearest. You'll have to engage the automatic-retrieval system in the Comvee. And I don't want to alarm anyone, but we're a tad low on oxygen down here.

Marianne Thornberry

Copy that. We'll get you as soon as we can. Over and out. Okay, we have to raise the Comvee. [she and Betty dive into the water and swim to the sunken Comvee; they found a ripped hole in the pontoon and return to the surface] No go. The pump's destroyed and there's a huge rip in the pontoon.

Charlotte Pickles

What, it's ripped?

Drew Pickles

Hang on. The professor's getting an idea.

Stu Pickles
[Last lines; After the Rugrat and Thornberry families save and reunite with their children and Nigel from underwater...]

Where's Tommy?

Nigel Thornberry

And who does this little chap belong to?

Stu Pickles

He's ours. [Nigel sets Tommy down; As Tommy starts to walk over to his family, he offers Nigel to take his hand and bring him over] Come here, champ.

Marianne Thornberry

Honey, I'd like you to meet Stu Pickles. He made the coconut radio that saved your lives.

Nigel Thornberry
[honored]

Terribly grateful, Mr. Pickles. I have a feeling I wouldn't be here without this little chap, either.

Angelica Pickles
[last words]

Pickles, you might grow up to be just like Nigel Strawberry after all.

Thanks, Angelica. But I think I'll grow up to be just like my daddy.

Drew Pickles

Well, bro, I got to hand it to you...

Chaz Finster

I'm so proud of you, Stu.

Marianne Thornberry

Oh, Nigel, I was so worried.

Nigel Thornberry

I confess, I was, too. I hated the thought of our last family meal being shortchanged because we had to go find a leopard.

Marianne Thornberry

Your father's right. We lost sight of what's important: Spending time together. Okay, everyone. Let's pack up. We're going on vacation!

Charlotte Pickles
[Debbie cheers excitedly and starts running around]

How about...

All

The Lipschitz Cruise!

We're leaving to go on vacation. Oh, yeah, right on.

[Cut to all the families having a great time on the cruise]

Well, Eliza, as dog is my witness, I'll never lose my babies again!
[The kids laughing uproariously]
