Eleanor Little quotes from Stuart Little (1999)

Never! Or out you go, Mr. Snow.

Something formal, I should think. I'm not sure of the fabric, but it should breathe. He has a tendency to burrow and climb and generally scurry about.

He hates us.

George, have you seen Stuart?

Mr. and Mrs. Stout, I'm afraid there's been a mistake.

Is he going to be alright?

Dr. Beechwood

Well, a lad that size swallowing all that (laundry) detergent. Amazingly, I think he's going to be fine. Also, he's very clean.

George

It's today! It's today! It's today! It's today! It's today! It's today! It's today!

It's always today, George.

George

I mean, this is the day.

That's right.

George

Can't I come?

You have to go to school, George.

George

Will he be here when I get home?

I think so.

George

I'll play ball with him. I'll wrestle with him. I'll teach him how to spit.

It's gonna be so much fun.

For all of us.

George

How will you know if you pick the right one?

Uh--

I don't know. We'll...

George

You'll just know.

Bye, sweetie.

George

Remember, I want a little brother, not a big brother.

Mrs. Keeper

We've been through your paperwork, and it seems to be in order. Adoption isn't for everyone, but you seem like people with plenty of love to share. So how are you feeling?

Goodness, we're...

Tingling...

...with anticipation.

Mrs. Keeper

Recess. Time for you to meet them. Feel free to walk around. They're used to having strangers.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mrs. Keeper

Ah, lovely people.

Nice move, Red.

Oh, Frederick, look at them. How could we possibly...?

Choose? I know.

They all seem so...

Wonderful.

Stuart

You know what's wonderful? What's wonderful is how you both know what the other one is gonna say, before you even say it. Not that it's any of my business.

Yes, that happens when you've been together as long as we have.

From being a family.

Stuart

Family. Wow. Well, for a family, you've certainly come to the right place. I think we can find just what you're looking for. If you want a girl, Susan can read French. And Edith over there can tap dance while blowing bubbles. Or maybe you wanted a boy.

Actually, I think we were leaning towards a boy.

Stuart

Well, in that case, Benny can do handstands. Andy can run 100 yards faster than you can say, Ready, set, go.

You certainly know a lot about everyone, don't you?

Stuart

That's what happens when you've been here as long as I have. Let's face it. Not everyone wants to adopt someone like me. You shouldn't worry about choosing. It happens the same way every time. First, you won't know what to do. You'll be a bit scared. Then you'll meet one of them. You'll talk to him. Somehow, you just know.

Mrs. Keeper

Are you quite certain you're prepared to handle his uniqueness?

Oh, my, yes. Yes. His uniqueness is a perfect fit for the Little family.

Perfect.

Mrs. Keeper

Mr. and Mrs. Little, we try to discourage couples from adopting children outside their own... species. It rarely works out.

Well, it will in this case.

I have a dream that everywhere I go / Most everyone captures my eye / And they find me so fascinating / Indicating a quite a keen interest in / A very special guy

Bye, Stuart! Bye! We'll miss you!

Oh, I'm so lonely

Stuart

So what do I call you?

Mom.

And Dad.

We haven't told you the best news of all. You have a brother. Named George.

Stuart

A brother! What do I call him?

George.

I'm feeling relatively blue / Oh, how I'd love a next to kin or two / There has to a place for me / Where I belong right now / Don't need a dynasty, a name to share, a heart to care / That's really all, and then I'd be walking tall / A name to share, a heart to care / And then I'd be walking tall

Well, Stuart, here we are, the family home.

They say every Little can find this house.

Even if they've never been here before.

It's just something inside them.

Stuart

Something inside.

So would you like a tour?

Stuart

I don't have any money.

That's Uncle Crenshaw, Cousin Edgar, Grandpa Spencer. That's Aunt Beatrice and that's George, your brother.

Stuart

Look, he's already happy to see me.

Well, that's just about everyone, except for-

Snowbell! Drop him right now!

You spit Stuart out this instant, Snowbell! Spit him right out!

Stuart? Are you alright?

Stuart

Wait! [Mr. Little picks up Snowbell, as Stuart checks his tail, which is in one piece, and sighs in relief] I'm fine.

You must never harm Stuart. Do you understand?

Never, or out you'll go, Mr. Snow.

Stuart is one of the family now. We do not eat family members.

George

Mom, Dad, I'm home! Is he here? Is my brother here?

He certainly is.

George

Where is he?

He's here. Stuart, this is George. George, this is Stuart, your new brother.

George

No. Really?

Really, George. This is your new brother.

George

You look somewhat like a mouse.

Stuart

Yeah, well, I am somewhat like a mouse.

George

I see. I have to go.

Stuart

Is it just me, or did he seem a little disappointed?

Well, he's always a little tired after school.

Perks up around dinnertime. Meat loaf is delicious, dear.

Cajun. Shall we get to know each other a little? George? Don't you have anything you wanna ask Stuart?

Stuart

Sure, George. Go ahead. I'm an open book. Ask me anything, the first thing that pops into your head.

George

Could you pass the gravy?

Your new bedroom.

We hope you like it.

Stuart

Sure is roomy. Good night, Mom. Good night, Dad.

Good night, son.

Good night, sweetie.

Stuart

Nice kitty. Nice kitty, pretty kitty.

Are you cosy?

Stuart

Yes... thanks, I'm quite comfortable--

Snowbell

Cause all I've got to sleep on is a rag in the corner, you little rat!

Stuart

You seem tense...

Snowbell

Tense? Oh, I'm... I'm way past tense!

Stuart

Well, maybe I can help? [gets up and approaches him] What do you like? Can I... can I scratch your ears? I could rub your tummy.

Snowbell

How'd you like to rub it from the inside, mouse boy?

Stuart

Sorry, I-- I'm a little confused. I thought that's what you do with a pet.

Snowbell

A PET?! I am not your pet! I'm a cat, you're a mouse! You should be living in a hole! This is my family.

Stuart

Can't we share 'em?

Snowbell

Read my furry pink lips: no! [heading for the window] I can't believe this. I'm arguing with lunch. And stay away from the windows. If the other cats find out about this, I'm ruined! [groans to himself as he jumps out and leaves] I gotta relax. Where's my tinkleball?

George? Time to get up.

George

Okay, Mom.

Stuart, you too.

Stuart

Okay, Mom.

George, I'm trying to get the laundry started.

George

OK!

In the laundry chute, please!

George

OK!

Thank you.

Stuart

Oh, dear. Mom! Hello! Mom! It's Stuart! I'm in the washing machine. Mom! Hello, Mom! Where are you going?

Hmm. That's odd.

What is?

I thought someone was at the door.

You look beautiful, dear.

Honey, should we talk to George before you go?

About what?

About Stuart. He hasn't exactly embraced the situation.

Stuart

Snowbell! Thank goodness you're here. I'm locked in the washer! Can you help me? Can you turn this thing off?

Snowbell

Why would I turn it off? It's my favorite show.

Stuart

That's funny. That's funny, Snowbell. Snowbell, you can't leave me!

Snowbell

Talk to the butt.

Stuart

Where are you going?

Snowbell

I've gotta stare at traffic, yawn, lick myself. And believe me, that could take hours if you do it right. Ciao!

Are you sure that Stuart is happy here?

He's having the time of his life.

Stuart

Help! Somebody, please help me!

Bye. Hi, Stuart.

Stuart

Mom!

Stuart! Stuart, where are you? Oh, Stuart! Stuart!

Stuart, are you all right?

Stuart

I'm okay, Mom. I'm... [coughs] Ahh!

Is he going to be alright?

Dr. Beechwood

Well, a lad that size swallowing all that detergent. Amazingly, I think he's going to be fine.

Oh.

Dr. Beechwood

Also, he's very clean. Yeah.

Glad you're feeling better, Stuart.

Stuart

Me too.

We'll pick out a whole new wardrobe.

Here you go. Come on, George. This'll be fun.

George

I don't wanna go shopping with Stuart.

You should...

Talk to him. You're right. [to George] So, George, I wanted to talk to you about Stuart. I just want you to know that if you and he were to spend some real time together, you know, brother time...

George

Look at that one.

Come on, George. You have a boat, a beautiful one.

George

It's not finished.

You better get moving. The race is soon.

George

So?

Don't you wanna race your boat, George?

George

I'm not so good at the racing part.

So what? It doesn't matter about winning. You try like heck, and you have fun.

George

It's fun to finish last?

Something formal, I should think. I'm not sure of the fabric, but it should breathe. He has a tendency to burrow and climb and generally scurry about.

Well, I'm sure we can find something to suit your particular need. Here we have Barbados Ben.

Stuart

Ooh!

Chef Ben.

Stuart

Ahh.

Lumberjack Ben.

Stuart

Hmm.

And, of course, Gladiator Ben.

Yes. Does Ben always dress like this?

No, no, no, madam. There are many moods of Ben... and it all depends on the occasion.

Well, what if the occasion were a simple family party?

I think I have just the thing.

There they are.

Let's pick another one.

George?

Hmm. Uh, shopping?

Stuart, everything all right in there?

Stuart

Don't come in.

Shy.

Stuart

How do I look?

Fantastic. I hardly recognize you.

Very smart.

You look just like a Little.

Stuart

I do? Good. I was worried I was gonna look just like Ben.

Oh, hello!

Hello, we're here.

Oh, Crenshaw!

Hi, auntie.

Crenshaw!

Uncle Crenshaw

Frederick!

Little high, Little low!

Little hey, Little ho!

We come bearing gifts for young Stuart.

Yes, where is my new nephew?

Uncle Crenshaw

The Little family's getting bigger and bigger.

Stuart

Boy.

Stuart

That's a lot of Littles.

George

Uncle Crenshaw!

Uncle Crenshaw

Ah! Oh! Ah! [chuckles] There's my favorite little nephew.

Uncle Stretch

Oh, you can't say that anymore, Crenshaw.

That's right. Now we have two favorite little nephews.

That's right. Where is the lad?

Uncle Stretch

He has a lot of gifts to open.

George

Are any of those for me?

Attention, everybody. We'd like to introduce you to someone.

This is Stuart.

Stuart

Hello, everyone.

Uncle Stretch

He's a, a...

...dorable!

Adorable!

Uncle Stretch

Yeah, that's right. I couldn't think of the word.

Oh, Stuart, look!

Look at that! This is a real Schmelling.

Stuart

Those are the best kind.

Uncle Crenshaw

You know what they say: "If it ain't Schmelling"...

"It ain't bowling".

Uncle Stretch

Look here, Stuart. Climb on up here, son. Plant your caboose right up here.

He may have to grow into it.

I think he's grown a little since we've been here.

That's what happened to me. One summer, I just shot right up.

Stuart

May I say something? In the orphanage, we used to tell fairy tales of finding our families and having a party like this. A party with cakes and presents and all varieties of meat loaf. A party with a big family who came from far away just to wish us well. I don't know much about families, but this must be the nicest family in the world. So I just wanted to thank each of you. Because now I know, fairy tales are real.

Snowbell

Fairy tales are real? Oy, I think I'm gonna cough up a furball.

Uncle Crenshaw

And now, it's time for the best present of all. It's something for you and George.

George. Stand next to Stuart.

Uncle Crenshaw

This is something that gave your father and me hours of enjoyment when we were young brothers just like you and Stuart. This ball belonged to your great-great-grandfather, Jedediah Little. [He gives an old brown baseball to George.] Remember, Frederick, those long summer days playing catch?

Yeah.

George, why don't you take your brother outside and toss around the old horsehide?

Uncle Crenshaw

Yeah, what do you say, George? You ready?

George

Are you all nuts? Bicycles and bowling balls? How's he gonna toss a baseball? How's he gonna do any of those things? He's not my brother, he's a mouse.

Uncle Stretch

Time to go.

Excellent idea.

What, what? Where?

Stuart, did I hurt you? What's the matter?

Stuart

I just wanted to ask you something, but you were already asleep.

What did you wanna ask?

Stuart

About my real family. You know, the ones I look like.

He hates us.

We've never been hated before.

Stuart

No, no, no. It's not that. It's not that at all. It's just that... something's missing. I feel an empty space inside me and I want to know what was there before.

You have an empty space. That's so sad.

Stuart

Oh, dear. I hope I haven't left you dismayed and disappointed.

No, don't, no.

No, we don't feel dismayed and disappointed.

Not at all.

Stuart

Are you sure?

We're certain, Stuart. And if you want us to, we'll find out about your real parents.

Stuart

Well, good night, then.

Mrs. Keeper

It's out of the question and it's against the rules. Besides, It's very hard to track mouse families. They're not very good with paperwork.

But he has an empty space.

Mrs. Keeper

Are there problems with Stuart?

Problem? No, no, no, not at all.

Well, there's been a few...

Difficulties.

Difficulties.

Mrs. Keeper

Difficulties?

Well, like the cat trying to eat him when we first brought him home.

He spat the boy out, of course, in one heck of a jiffy.

Mrs. Keeper

Yeah.

Mrs. Keeper, he wants to know about his family. Any child would have questions about that.

Mrs. Keeper

Yes.

George

What are you doing here?

Stuart

I just thought I'd drop in. Did you build these?

George

Me and my dad.

Stuart

This is incredible. It's like being in a real live Western. [speaks with a Western accent.] Howdy, partner. Draw, you lily-livered, yellow-bellied son-of-a-one-eyed-prairie-dog.

George

I'm trying to concentrate.

Stuart

Sorry. [notices a train.] Is that a train?

George

What's it look like, pickle head?

Stuart

Could we play with it? Please, please, please, please, please? Help! Somebody help me! Help! Please! Somebody help me! Ta-da! Thank you very much. Thank you.

George

You're crazy. I have an idea. Hop in.

Stuart

Wow, a roadster!

George

Go ahead, check it out. Stuart, what's wrong?

Stuart

Nothing. It's just... It's the first time I've fit in since I got here. What's that?

George

Oh, that. That's the Wasp.

Stuart

Wow. She is beautiful.

George

Yeah, but she's not finished.

Stuart

When are you gonna finish it?

George

Well, me and my dad were building her, but I decided to stop.

Stuart

How come?

George

I'm too little for a race like that.

Stuart

Little? You're not little. Well, not to me.

George

Stuart, you've never seen one of these races. There's hundreds of people there. Everybody from school. I mean... what if you lost?

Stuart

Well, at least you'll have been somewhere. Come on, George. What do you say? Let's get started.

George

You know... I'm not really sure I want a brother.

Stuart

How about a friend?

George

I guess I can always use a friend.

George?

George

Yes, Dad?

Have you seen Stuart?

George

He's down here with me.

What are you doing to him?

George

He's helping me finish the Wasp.

That's wonderful, son. That's terrific.

Stuart

Can't race her like this. Right, George?

George

Right.

When's the next race?

George

In two days.

Two days?

Stuart

We'll be ready.

How about we all go together?

It's a wonderful idea.

George

That would be great.

Stuart

All of us together. The whole family.

Snowbell

The whole family. [crying]

Stuart

George!

George

Stuart!

George

What are you doing?

Stuart

Sailing. I hope.

Stuart, you come back here this minute.

Stuart

I can't.

Why not?

Stuart

I don't know how!

The players are jockeying for position.

Frederick, I don't like this one bit.

Stuart, your mother doesn't like this one bit.

Stuart

I'm okay, Mom!

George

Go, Stuart! Tighten the mainsail!

Stuart

What's a mainsail?

Oh!

George

Move! Come on, Stuart!

Gee, George, you all done crying?

George

Yeah. You all done being a jerk?

No.

Stuart

Don't worry, George! I won't let you down!

Away those boats are sailing...

Frederick, what if he falls?

Remember, he's quite a fine swimmer.

Hey, that's cheating. You can't do that.

Well, I just did.

Stuart

Oh, dear. [gulp, screams]

What is he doing?

I think he's hiking out.

Hope that mouse can swim.

Wasp is taking the lead.

George

Stuart, look out!

Stuart

That can't be good.

Look what that stupid mouse did to my sail!

George

He's not a stupid mouse!

You're right; he's a stupid rat.

Hey, hey, hey, come on. George!

Get off!

Stuart!

Something's wrong. What's happening?

George

Yeah!

Stuart

Yeah!

Who is that mouse anyway?

George

That's no mouse. That's my brother.

George and Stuart

Little high, Little low!

Little hey, Little ho!

Frederick, look at them.

Uncle Crenshaw

You know what? This calls for a picture.

What's wrong?

Uncle Stretch

Well, It's just... you four look great together.

Stuart

This is the happiest moment of my life. I feel 10 inches tall.

I'll get that.

Mr. Little.

Yes?

Down here. Very sorry to disturb you at your lovely abode.

I hope we're not intruding.

My name's Reginald Stout. This is my wife, Camille.

An extreme pleasure.

We're looking for Stuart.

Are you friends of his?

Well, not exactly.

Fellow yachtsmen?

Guess again.

Reggie, just tell them.

We're his parents.

Reggie, stop it! It's so good to see you again, Stuart. There's so much we have to catch up on.

Stuart

Why didn't you want me?

Stuart, it shames me to say this, but you weren't born into a prosperous home.

That's right. We couldn't feed you, dear.

George

Couldn't feed him? How much could he eat?

George, please.

Letting you go was the toughest choice we ever made.

Stuart

It was?

Yes. But now we can be a family again.

Absolutely. Are these salted?

Dear. The children.

Uh, yeah. George, Stuart, I think we need to talk to the Stouts alone.

George

Don't worry. Mom and Dad will take care of it.

Mr. and Mrs. Stout, I'm afraid there's been a mistake.

Right.

Stuart can't leave with you. He's...

One of the family.

Exactly.

You may feel like he's family, but he'll never really be family.

You may not realize it, but I'm sure he does.

There's something you'll never be able to give him, because you're human. No offence!

It's a place that you'll never be able to fill.

An empty space.

Stuart

Mom... Dad, you want me to leave?

No.

Oh, dear, we just want what's best for you.

George

But Stuart lives here.

George, come on. This is hard for all of us.

George

This stinks!

Stuart

I don't understand. I thought I was in a fairy tale.

Fairy tales are made-up stories, Stuart. This is real. This is about where you belong.

Please come home, Stuart. Your real home.

You're gonna love it, son. We live on a golf course! We look right over the ninth fairway!

It's beautiful.

Beautiful.

Hey, taxi! What's a mouse have to do to get a cab in this city?

Stuart

You'll speak to George for me, won't you? I'd hate to say goodbye to a basement door.

Of course.

Taxi! Yo, taxi! Time to go, Stuart!

Stuart

Well, goodbye.

We love you.

Stuart

Ah, yeah. I love you too, Mom... Mrs. Little.

Boy, that looks heavy. You need some help with that? Camille?

Oh.

Frederick, let's do something.

What?

Let's just make them go away. We're bigger than they are. We'll say, "Go. Shoo". We'll scare their little whiskers off.

Eleanor, you're not being rational.

Rational, shmmational. Something about this is not right. I just know it.

Look at them. They just fit.

So what? I have shoes that fit and I hate them! As Stuart's mother...

But you're not. She is.

George

Stuart! Wait!

Stuart

George?

George

I want you to have this.

Stuart

No, George. Not the roadster, George. You love this car. I couldn't.

George

I want you to.

Stuart

Thanks, George.

George

I wish you didn't have to go. I'm gonna miss you.

Stuart

I'll miss you too, George.

When the moon hits your eye. / Like a big pizza pie. / That's amore!

Sing with me, Stuie.

When the world seems to shine. / Like you had too much wine. / That's amore!

You'll have to tell me your favorite foods so I can fix them for you.

What for? You can't cook.

But I can learn. We're a family now. And there's a lot of adjustments we'll have to make. Right, Reggie?

Right, Camille. Well, here we are, Stuie, the family home.

The family home.

Mind you, this is just our summer place. Winter time, we live in a crawl space above a delicatessen. You like corned beef, Stuie?

Stuart

How's it prepared?

Prepared? It drops out of a fat guy's mouth, we grab it and run.

Stuart

Sounds like an acquired taste.

Acquired taste? I love this kid!

Your new bedroom, Stuart.

We hope you like it. Well, good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite. I'm serious about those bedbugs. Keep an eye open.

It's very kind of you to check on us like this.

Mrs. Keeper

Well, actually, I had something to tell you. But first, how are things going?

Oh, it's been difficult.

Mrs. Keeper

Difficult?

No, very difficult.

Mrs. Keeper

Very difficult?

Worse.

Mrs. Keeper

Worse than very difficult?

Yes, It's been almost...

Unbearable.

Just the word I was looking for.

Mrs. Keeper

Oh. Maybe this isn't a good time then. You see, I came over to give you some news.

What type of news?

Mrs. Keeper

Uh, they had an accident.

Who?

Mrs. Keeper

Stuart's parents.

Oh, my goodness. Well, are they all right?

Mrs. Keeper

No. They didn't make it.

Oh, no. Oh, my....

What happened?

Mrs. Keeper

Well, apparently, they were grocery shopping, canned-food aisle. There was an unsteady pyramid of cans and it collapsed. Took three bag boys to dig them out. They had to identify them by their dental records.

Oh, how horrible!

Mrs. Keeper

Cream of mushroom soup. Two-for-one sale. That's a very heavy soup.

How is Stuart taking it?

Mrs. Keeper

Well, he doesn't know.

You mean no one's told him?

Mrs. Keeper

Does he have to know?

Well, six months after they don't come back from shopping, wasn't he gonna wonder where they went?

Mrs. Keeper

But they've been gone for years.

Years? How is that possible?

Mrs. Keeper

Because they died years ago. Which part is confusing you?

Stuart's parents came and took him away three days ago.

Mrs. Keeper

Three days ago? Stuart's parents died in a tragic cream-mushroom-soup incident years ago. I just told you.

Dear, we have to take this up with the police.
Snowbell Hmm?

Mrs. Little?

Yes?

I'm Detective Sherman. This is my partner, Detective Allen. We understand your son is missing.

Thank you for coming.

Snowbell

They know about the Stouts! THEY KNOW ABOUT THE STOUTS! THE JIG IS UP! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!

Monty

Hey, get a hold of yourself. What are you talking about?

Snowbell

This is very...! I'm in big...! I'M IN DEEP POOPY-DOO!

Monty

Calm down, calm down. Don't get your fur in a bunch. All we need is a new plan.

Smokey

We do what we should have done in the first place. We scratch him out.

Monty

Scratch him out?

Snowbell

But Smokey, the police are involved! I don't wanna get kicked out of my house! I'm not a street cat, I'm a house cat! I don't wanna lose my furry basket or my tinkleball that I push across the floor with my nose!

Monty

Snow, buddy, pull yourself together.

Smokey

It's settled. Stuart Little gets scratched tonight.

Okay. Very good. Mr. and Mrs. Little, you'll have to come downtown.

Detective Sherman, what are our chances of seeing Stuart again?

You want it straight?

No.

Absolutely not.

Well, in--in that case... Stuart's probably home right now waiting for ya.

Maybe we should hear it a little straighter than that.

OK. In a case like this, if the kidnappers have not called by now, then they're not interested in money.

What are they interested in?

Kicks.

Exactly. It's my guess these two sickos are on some kind of cross-country mouse-killingg spree.

Oh, no.

Well, thank you.

Yes, you can kiss this boy goodbye.

Thank you, detective.

It's over. The things I've seen. Phil, where is that book on the grisly photos? Believe me, you don't wanna see this.

No.

It'll only take a second. Right off the bat. Look at this one. This one kept me awake for weeks.

Ohh!

George...

Well, I think we have to...

Tell him.

Yeah.

I put 'em back right here.

627 Fifth Avenue. I need three cabs.

George

Who has the glue?

Uncle Crenshaw

I'm the glue man.

Here's 5000 more.

What's going on?

We're making posters.

Uncle Stretch

We're gonna put 'em up all over the city.

That's right. They describe Stuart and offer a reward when we find him.

Uncle Crenshaw

Isn't it wonderful? It was all George's idea.

George.

George

Never stop trying. Right, Dad?

Listen, I'm afraid this isn't gonna work.

George

Why not?

Frederick.

Because there's no picture. We need a picture of Stuart.

The family photo.

Crenshaw, Tina, Uncle Stretch, you go uptown. Cover as many streets as you can. Edgar, Beatrice, Spencer, you take downtown. Every side street and back alley.

All right.

Estelle... you better go with him.

George

Where do I go?

You come with us. We're gonna circle the park.

We'll be making a lot of stops.

Stuart

I made it. I can't believe it. I'm home. Mom! Dad! I'm coming! Mom! Dad! George! It's me, Stuart! I'm back! Mom! Dad, George! Where is everybody?

Snowbell

There's nobody else here. It's just you and me, kid.

Stuart

Where'd they go?

Snowbell

Movies, I think.

Stuart

Movies?

Snowbell

Oh, yeah. Ever since you left, it's just movies, parties, roller-skating, amusement parks. They're having the time of their lives.

Stuart

They are?

Snowbell

Oh, sure. I hate to have to tell ya this, but they're celebrating.

Stuart

Celebrating what?

Snowbell

Can't you guess?

Stuart

No.

Snowbell

They were just so happy to get rid of you.

Stuart

That's a lie! I don't believe that.

Snowbell

Oh, boy. I wish I could spare you this. This is gonna break your little heart. Look up there.

Stuart

At what?

Snowbell

See for yourself. They did that right after you left. Mrs. Little said, "Who wants to look at that face anymore?"

Stuart

She did?

Snowbell

Yeah.

Stuart

And George?

Snowbell

She gave it to him, and he tore it up.

Stuart

He did?

Snowbell

Yeah. I'd give ya the pieces, but Mr. Little set them on fire. I tried to warn ya, Stuart. I told ya it wasn't gonna work out.

Stuart

I should've known. It was too good to be true.

Snowbell

What're you gonna do now?

Stuart

I don't know. I guess I'll just...

Snowbell

Leave immediately? Good idea. I'll tell the family you dropped by. Although, it'll probably just make 'em sick.

Stuart

Bye, Snowbell.

Snowbell

Goodbye, buddy. This is... killing me.

George...

George

But I'm almost done.

Come on, It's getting late. Time to go home.

George

I don't think I missed a single tree.

You did a great job.

George

It was a good idea, wasn't it?

You bet it was.

George

It's a really good picture of Stuart.

I don't think you could take a bad picture of Stuart.

George

Now all we have to do... is wait until somebody calls, and tells us where Stuart is.

Right.

Mm-hmm.

If we don't find Stuart, it's gonna break his heart.
