A scene from The Rugrats Movie 1998
Rex Pester
[Cut to Rex Pester's helicopter. A pilot is flying the chopper while Rex is both reporting and taping with the camera]

A truckload of babies and their pet horse lost in the woods. Our hearts go out to their grief-stricken parents... [Stu's Dactar crashes into the chopper; Stu screams in panic] Look out, Pickles! Now look what you've done! [Stu groans. He fights the pilot over the controls] Are you out of your mind?! Get out! [pushes Stu and Dactar away from the chopper, but breaks the controls off accidentally

Stu Pickles
[The chopper goes into tailspin]

Whoa!

Rex Pester
[crying]

And I never won an Emmy!

Stu Pickles
[The chopper crash-lands in the forest]

Oops. [drops the chopper's handlebars before continues flying haphazardly] I'm coming, Tommy. I'm coming, Dil. [a couple of screws come loose] Oh! Ah!

Angelica Pickles
[Meanwhile, back on the bridge, the Rugrats are still trying to rescue Angelica, who lost her coat] [still carrying Cynthia as she's climbing back on the bridge]

Ugh! Hurry up, babies!

Chuckie Finster
[The monkeys return]

Don't let them take me!

Angelica Pickles

Don't let them take Cynthia!

Lil DeVille

I don't think they're going to take anyone. Look!

Babies
[The monkeys leave in fear]

Yay!

Lil DeVille

Yeah! Go home, monkeys!

Angelica Pickles

Hooray! Dumb-dumb monkeys!

Babies
[The wolf appears at the foot of the bridge and slowly goes towards the babies]

Oh!

Chuckie Finster
[scared]

We wanna go home. We wanna go home.

Babies
[The wolf gets closer, growling viciously]

Aah!

Dil Pickles

Yuckies!

Babies
[Spike then appears from nowhere and fights the wolf]

Yay!

Tommy

Yay, Spike!

Dil Pickles
[bouncing on the seat]

Spike, Spike!

Tommy Pickles
[Spike and the wolf are fighting too close to the edge of the bridge]

Oh, no, Spike! Spike!

Lil DeVille

You gotta get outta there, Spikey!

Angelica Pickles

Yo, dumb wolf! [angrily blows raspberries at the wolf]

Babies
[The wolf starts to go toward Angelica. As he was about to bite her, Spike bites his tail and drags him down, while they both slowly go through a hole in the bridge] [alarmed]

Spike!

Dil Pickles
[Both Spike and the wolf fall into the river] [now sad]

Spike?

Tommy Pickles
[tearfully]

Oh, Spike.

Angelica Pickles
[All the babies cry]

Dumb dog! Why'd you have to go and... [sobs]

Stu Pickles
[Cut to Stu and Dactar]

Whoa! [suddenly spots the babies on the bridge] Deed, I found them! They're over by the ranger station! I'm going IIIIIIIIINNNN!!!!!! [Dactar crashes for the last time, into the ranger's station. The babies gasped. The ranger's station collapsed to the ground. Now feeling all woozy, he gets up on his feet, "wearing" Dactar's remnants, and walks towards the bridge] Ahh!

Babies
[gasped]

The lizard!

Stu Pickles

Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

Babies

Ohh!

Tommy Pickles
[pulls up his diaper and speaks to the "Lizard"]

Please, Mr. Lizard, we wish we could go...No. [looks at the babies, who are still sad] We wish we had our doggie back.

Stu Pickles

Ahhh. [busts through the bridge, still wearing Dactar]

Tommy Pickles
[looks down the hole, suddenly relieved]

Spike!

Phil DeVille
[We see Spike, alive, licking Stu, who lies on one of the bridge's support arms below]

He's alive!

Lil DeVille

Thank you, Mr. Lizard!

Didi
[Tires screech and headlights shine. The other grown-ups run towards the babies. Then, their parents pick up their own babies and embraces them] [tears of joy]

My babies! My babies! Oh Dil! My darling! [kisses them both]

Howard DeVille
[hugging his twins]

We're here! Mommy and daddy are here!

Betty DeVille
[hugging their twins]

You rascals!

Chas Finster

Daddy's here. Oh, Chuckie!

Charlotte Pickles

Angelica, sweetheart, everything's going to be okay!

Angelica Pickles

Oh, mommy, oh, daddy!

Chas Finster
[to Chuckie offscreen]

Did you miss me? You okay?

Lou Pickles
[The monkeys look on in bewilderment. Charlotte's phone rings. Instead of answering it, she tosses it into the water] [pull Stu up with a rope]

You've got the Pickle spirit, son. Maybe not the brain, but the spirit.

Didi Pickles

Oh, Stu, you did it! You found our boys.

Stu Pickles
[Stu picks up Tommy and Dil. Tommy drops his watch; Stu picks it up, still in perfect shape] [smiles]

Yeah, I guess I did.

Igor
[Igor and Serge arrive in a police car to recover their monkeys]

My little furry comrades!

Serge

Splendid monkeys, come to papa. Who's your daddy?

Female Reporter
[We look through the viewfinder of a reporter's video recorder]

Babies and monkeys, both lost. Now both found.

Rex Pester
[last words; now injured, shoves the female reporter out of sight]

This is my story, pal! I'm Rex Pester. Stay tuned. [the monkeys gang up on Rex and fight him. Camera cuts to static] Aah! No, not my toupee! No!

Betty DeVille
[laughing]

Go get him, you little simians!

Charlotte Pickles

Hey, Rex, time for your close up!

Chas Finster
[mock sympothy]

Oh, dear, too bad.

Stu Pickles
[Dil drinks his bottle, then shares it with Tommy] [apologizes to Drew]

I'm sorry about all this Drew.

Drew Pickles
[forgives Stu]

It's all right, little brother. For a nincompoop, you're not half bad.

Stu Pickles
[Everyone walks away from the bridge and talks amongst themselves. Margaret pulls the Reptar Wagon]

Remember there was Swamptar?

Drew Pickles

Oh yeah, I remember that. Got mud all over...

Chuckie Finster
[Fade back to the Okey-Dokie Jones sequence, where the Rugrats enter the temple] [voice over]

And that was our big adventure. The Monkeys founded their daddies, and we all gots to go home and have fried baloney sandwiches. But not Dil, 'cause he gots no teeth. [Dil, wearing a viking helmet, rides on Chuckie's back. They climb and grab the icon as before, but this time, Dil got ahold of it] But if you think thing went back to the way they was before, you're wrong, 'cause now, thanks to Baby Dil, they was even better! [chuckles]

Babies
[After Dil grabs the icon, they all start to topple. Before they hit the ground, we go back to reality, in the kitchen with a banana split. After they fall, Dil slides to the stove with the split; when he hit the stove, the split remain intact] [cheering]

Yay!

Chuckie Finster
[last lines]

Way to go, Dilly!
[Freeze frame, then fade out] [Fade to closing credits, when stills of the movie's scenes flash in the background while the credits are seen in the foreground. Credits from "Directed By" to "Additional Music Material By" are flshed on and off, with one background per credit. From "Production Manager" on, credits scroll, with different lettering and fonts, while the background changes. During the credits, portions of "Take Me There", "Wild Ride" and "I Throw My Toys Around" can be heard]
