00:30Ghost house, you will beware, you're in for a scare.
00:57Worms are nature's perfect creatures. They aerate the soil, recycle waste, and...
01:22And they gross out girls when you drop them down their backs.
01:25Come on, Danny. If we want to win first prize in the science fair, we've got to be scientific about this.
01:29So, uh, what's your plan?
01:31We're going to prove that worms can survive just about anything.
01:34Heat, cold, stretching, even cutting them in half.
01:38Pretty harsh.
01:40Are we such a baby? Worms can't feel anything.
01:43Reggie, get lost.
01:45You don't own a basement.
01:47Can't you see we're on the brink of a scientific breakthrough?
01:50Well, excuse me, Dr. Wormenstein.
01:53If you guys think your stupid worm experiments are going to beat our project, you can forget it.
01:58What are you going to do? Use dolls to act out a story from the X-Files?
02:02If you must know, Beth and I are doing the life cycle of a robin.
02:06We have a nest, and eggshells, and everything.
02:11Ah! Worms!
02:14Must have been something it ate.
02:16You wrecked it! I hate you!
02:20I'll get you for this, Todd. You'll be sorry.
02:24Ooh, I'm so scared.
02:28Ew! You're as slimy as those worms, you torch!
02:32All right!
02:50Oh, man, when she let out that squeal, I thought my ears were going to pop.
02:54Worms are the best thing to use if you want to gross someone out.
02:57I mean, you should have heard Regina the time I put a handful of nightcrawlers into the bathtub.
03:01You'd hear a squeal all the way across town.
03:03Ah, sandwich.
03:05What have you got?
03:06Last night's pizza.
03:08Oh, I'm so sorry.
03:10I'm so sorry.
03:12I'm so sorry.
03:14I'm so sorry.
03:16Sandwich.
03:17What have you got?
03:18Last night's spaghetti.
03:20Want a trade?
03:21Sure.
03:23You should see this experiment I've got figured out for the worms.
03:26It's like a racetrack, only the different tracks have different surfaces.
03:29You know, sandpaper, rocks, sticky stuff.
03:32Hey.
03:34We can call it...
03:36Worms.
03:37Nature survivors.
03:40Ah!
03:43I think that something died in there.
03:47Oh, gross.
03:49Is this supposed to be funny?
03:50I didn't do it.
03:51Sure, that's why you wanted to swap?
03:53You and your stupid jokes.
03:54Why would I? You're my best friend.
03:56Not anymore.
03:57Danny, I didn't do it.
03:59Honest.
04:10Reggie?
04:12Todd?
04:14Todd, are you in here?
04:24No wonder I don't get in here more often.
04:29It's gotten worse.
04:33Gah!
04:35Sorry, Mom.
04:36I thought you were Reggie.
04:37Lucky for her, it was me.
04:40You two still at war?
04:42She tried to poison me.
04:43Oh, she did not.
04:46If worms were deadly, you'd be long gone by now.
04:49Then how'd those worms get into my lunch?
04:51Well, it wasn't me.
04:53I like to see you getting your protein, but that's going a bit far.
04:57Very funny.
04:59You know what's not funny?
05:01What you did to her robin.
05:03She and Beth worked really hard on that thing.
05:05It's not like I totally wrecked it.
05:07Not for lack of trying.
05:09And you're going to fix it, aren't you?
05:11You've already put me on trial and found me guilty.
05:13You wouldn't let a judge treat your client like that, would you?
05:16If you were my client, I'd tell you to plead insanity.
05:20Crazy about worms.
05:22I just think they're cool, that's all.
05:24I know.
05:26But you should have some other interests.
05:28There's a whole big world of really disgusting things out there
05:32just waiting to be discovered.
05:35Fix the bird.
05:38Oh, no science fair.
05:40No way.
05:42Try me.
05:44The prosecution rests.
05:47Now, hit the sack, worm boy.
05:49It's after ten.
05:53It's after ten.
06:24It's after ten.
06:26It's after ten.
06:53What's going on?
07:17Reggie snuck into my room and put worms in my bed.
07:21Todd, that is disgusting.
07:25Don't tell me. Tell Reggie.
07:27She's not even here.
07:29She's on a sleepover at Beth's.
07:31Then who?
07:33Todd, this whole worm thing is completely out of control.
07:37I told you I didn't want these worms in the house.
07:40But I...
07:41Todd, I'm not going to debate the virtues of worms with you right now.
07:45It's nearly 2 a.m.
07:47And I have a partner's meeting in the morning.
07:50I didn't do it.
07:52Honest.
07:54Clean up the worms and go back to bed now.
08:20Do you want a sleepover tonight?
08:36We could watch videos.
08:38No, thanks.
08:40We could order pizza, double cheese, pineapple, pepperoni.
08:43And worms?
08:45I didn't do it. Why would I?
08:47I'm your best friend, remember?
08:48Did Reggie confess?
08:49No, she's got Mom totally snowed.
08:51Last night she even came into my room and put worms in my bed.
08:54Really? Gross.
08:56She may think she's getting away with something,
08:58but I'll make sure she's the one who's going to squirm.
09:00What are you going to do?
09:01Let's just say I'll need more worms.
09:03Zillions of them.
09:04I like the sound of it so far.
09:06Tonight I'm going down the lake to dig for fresh ones.
09:08Coming?
09:10Nah, Mom wants me to shampoo the dog.
09:12But I'll ask her about sleeping over tonight.
09:14See ya.
09:18So, did you get your dad to print out our robin report?
09:21He said he could do it when he gets home from work.
09:23Todd fixed the robin yet?
09:25Maybe your dad could have a look at it.
09:27I can bring it over later.
09:30What do you want?
09:32For starters, you can tell Mom the truth.
09:34Look, I told you.
09:35I wouldn't even touch one of your stupid worms.
09:38Why would I put one in your spaghetti?
09:40Ugh, my brother and his worms.
09:43I think I'm going to be sick.
09:45I suppose you don't know anything about those worms in my bed last night either.
09:48I'm definitely going to be sick.
09:50And if you think you got away with it, you didn't.
09:52You're going to be very sorry.
09:54Not as sorry as you are when me and Beth cream you at the science fair.
09:58Oh yeah?
09:59My worms will toast your stupid robin any day.
10:01You've got worms on the brain.
10:03Just ignore him, Beth.
10:04Well, I always do.
10:05Worms on the brain?
10:07Worms on the brain.
10:09Worms on the brain.
10:11Worms on the brain.
10:37Worms on the brain.
11:07Worms on the brain.
11:08Worms on the brain.
11:37Great.
12:01A little rain will bring it to the surface.
12:03Maybe you'll catch some nightcrawlers.
12:05Nice juicy ones.
12:10Ah!
12:14Someone!
12:18Ah!
12:23Ah!
12:25Ah!
12:27Ah!
12:29Ah!
12:31Ah!
12:33Ah!
12:35Ah!
12:51Ah!
13:09Where am I?
13:15What is this place?
13:23Hello?
13:25Anybody here?
13:45Where the heck am I?
14:07How do I get out of here?
14:22Come on, we will make you squirm.
14:46Ah!
14:48Ah!
14:50Ah!
14:52Ah!
14:54Ah!
14:57Ah!
14:59Ah!
15:01Ah!
15:03Ah!
15:19Help, someone.
15:21Ah!
15:25Ah!
15:27Ah!
15:29Ah!
15:31Ah!
15:35Ah!
15:37Ah!
15:39Oh!
15:42Help!
16:02Uh!
16:03Uh!
16:04Uh!
16:06Uh!
16:07Ah!
16:08Uh!
16:09Uh!
16:10Uh!
16:11Help!
16:15Ah!
16:16Uh!
16:17Ah!
16:18Uh!
16:19Uh!
16:21Uh!
16:22Todd!
16:23Todd, are you okay?
16:24The worm!
16:25The giant worm!
16:26It grabbed me! Did you see it?
16:28Giant worm?
16:29It's gone.
16:31It didn't get me.
16:32What's he babbling about?
16:34No giant worm.
16:35I could kiss you.
16:37Don't you dare.
16:38Todd, what are you up to?
16:39Nothing.
16:40I'm telling you, there's a giant worm down there
16:42and that bird scared it away.
16:43Stay away from my robin.
16:46Come on, Beth.
16:47I can't believe he'd wreck his clothes
16:49just to play that dumb trick.
16:51What can I tell you?
16:52He's nuts.
16:54Worms on the brain!
16:56Worms on the brain!
16:58Worms on the brain!
17:00Worms on the brain!
17:02Worms on the brain!
17:30This house is now officially worm-free.
17:56Come on.
18:18Looks like you've done some redecorating.
18:21I guess.
18:24How's it coming?
18:26We're gonna watch a video.
18:28You're in charge of popcorn.
18:31Sure.
18:33I'll be right down.
18:56Are you sure about this?
19:04Totally.
19:05You give up worms,
19:06that's like me giving up double cheese nachos.
19:09So maybe I'm bored with them.
19:10Ever think of that?
19:11Well, at least let me save some for bait.
19:13We don't need any worms.
19:17These minnows make great bait.
19:26Whoa, that one got away.
19:29Don't push so hard.
19:31Bring him down, push him through.
19:33Don't worry, it's a stupid little minnow,
19:34they don't feel a thing.
19:36So now what are you supposed to do for the science fair?
19:39I don't care, so long as it has nothing to do with worms.
19:43How about we do something with fish?
19:46Not a bad idea.
19:47When you think about it,
19:49fish really are nature's perfect creatures.
19:52That's what you said about worms.
19:54I know, but fish are way better.
19:55They can live for millions of years.
19:57I mean, they can breathe underwater,
19:59survive under polar ice caps or in tropical heat.
20:02I mean, they probably don't even have to sleep.
20:04How are we supposed to make a science project out of fish?
20:07All we need is a few experiments.
20:08How long can fish live in hot water or cold water?
20:11How long can a freshwater fish survive in salt water?
20:13Stuff like that.
20:14Isn't that kind of cruel?
20:15I mean, like making them suffer like that?
20:17Don't be such a baby.
20:18We've got to be scientific about this.
20:20I'm telling you, fish can't feel anything.
20:23All right, I got one.
20:26Yeah, easy, easy.
20:28Oh, nuts. Got away.
20:31Took my bait, too.
20:32I hope I catch one.
20:33Can't wait to start my experiment.
20:35So, what are we going to call this fish experiment?
20:38Fish.
20:40Nature's survivors.
20:41I'm going to have a bite of your sandwich, okay?
20:43My sandwich? I thought it was your sandwich.
20:48Oh!
20:49Ah!
20:50John!
20:53Danny, help!
20:54They've got me! I'm hooked!
20:57Hey, guys, come on.
20:59Hey, I was just kidding.
21:00I'll keep on fishing, I promise.
21:02I'm too small. You've got to throw me back.
21:04You guys look like nice fish.
21:06Please let me go.
21:08Thanks.
21:10What?
21:11You're going to make me swim back?
21:52You're going to make me swim back?
