Rugrats the Movie

Rescue On The Bridge

Fade to Rex's helicopter. A pilot is flying the chopper over the forest while Rex is both reporting and videotaping with his camera.

" A truckload of babies and their pet horse lost in the woods. Our hearts go out to their grief-stricken parents..."

" Look out!" The pilot said. Stu's Dactar glider suddenly appears and crashes into the chopper, making it violently spin around by the tail, and making Rex drop his camera. Stu shrieks in panic.

" Pickles! Now look what you've done!" Stu grunts. He and the chopper pilot fight over their aircrafts' controls. " Are you out of your mind?! Get out!"

Rex uses both his legs to push Stu and Dactar out of the chopper--but Stu accidentally rips out the helicopter's control stick in the process, sending the chopper into a violent tailspin and causing it to crash-land into the forest below.

" Whoa!" Stu said, shocked.

"AND I NEVER WON AN EMMY!"

Stu is flying again on his Dactar, though haphazardly.

"Oops." Stu  drops the chopper control stick and continues flying. "I'm coming, Tommy. I'm coming, Dil. Oh! Ah!"

A couple of screws come loose, though Stu still flies.

Meanwhile, back on the bridge, the babies are still trying to rescue Angelica.

"Ugh! Hurry up, babies!" Angelica said impatient. The monkeys return.

"Don't let them take me!" Said Chuckie.

"Don't let them take Angelica!" Said CJ.

"Don't let them take Cynthia or my baby sister!" Angelica added.

" I don't think they're gonna take anyone. Look!"

The monkeys flee.

" Yay!". They all cheer as Angelica picks up CJ and spins her around.

" Yeah! Go home, monkeys!" Said Lil.

" Hooray! Dumb-dumb monkeys!"

The cheering stops when the babies hear a roar behind them. They turn around and gasp in horror. The huge vicious wolf is at the foot of the bridge! He slowly stalks toward the babies!

" We wanna go home. We wanna go home." Chuckie begged.

The wolf gets closer, snarling. The kids cling to each other, ready for the end

"Aahhh!" Everyone screams as CJ and Angelica hug each other with Cynthia and the penguin plushie close to them.

"Yuckie!" Dil said.

Spike arrives to the rescue. Fearlessly, he lunges at the huge wolf and pins him to the ground. They all cheer.

" Yay, Spike!" Tommy, CJ, and Angelica said.

"Spike, Spike!" Dil said, peaking to look at the fight.

Spike continues fighting the wolf. The wolf rips off Spike's collar. Spike pins the wolf again, but the wolf forcefully swats him with his paw, sending him to the edge of the bridge, hanging for dear life!

"Oh, no, Spike! Spike!"

"You gotta get outta there, Spikey!"

"You dumb wolf!"

Angelica and CJ blows a raspberry, in an effort to distract the wolf from killing Spike. The wolf turns his attention to Angelica and starts to go toward her! Spike leaps up and bites the wolf's tail and the wolf's jaws slam shut inches from Angelica as Spike drags him down as they both slowly go through a hole in the bridge.

" Spike!" Everyone said in worry.

Spike continues dragging the wolf down the hole. The wolf loses his grip, and both canines plummet into the river below.

"Spike?" CJ asked, as Angelica picks up CJ and holds her close. " Oh, Spike."

All the kids begin to sob over the loss of Spike.

"Dumb dog!"  tears fill up her eyes as she tightly hugs CJ. "Why'd you have to go and..."  The sisters sob.

Cut to Stu and Dactar. Stu is flying by the ranger station when he suddenly spots the kids and the Reptar Wagon on the bridge

"Deed, I found them! They're over by the ranger station! I'M GOING IN-N-N-N!"

Stu crash lands Dactar into the ranger's station shed, which disintegrates into a pile of rubble from the impact. Stu, all woozy, gets up on his feet, "wearing" Dactar's remnants, and walks towards the bridge.

"The lizard!" They all said, Stu groans in pain. They all gasp. Tommy pulls up his diaper and speaks to the lizard.

"Please, Mr. Lizard, we wish we could go...". Tommy stops and looks at Spike's collar, then at the others who are still crying over Spike. "No...We wish we had our doggy back."

Stu's foot busts through the bridge and he falls through. Then a familiar barking is heard. Tommy and his friends look through the hole.

"Spike!" Tommy and CJ says cheerfully.

"He's alive!" Phil said. Spike licks Stu, who lies on one of the bridge's support arms below.

" Thank you, Mr. Lizard!" Lil said.

Tires screech and headlights shine. The other grown-ups run towards the babies. Then, their parents pick up their babies and embrace them.

" My babies! Oh, Dil! My darling!" Didi kisses Tommy and Dil's head.

" We're here! Bet-Betty and-and daddy are here!" Howard said as he picks up Lil and Betty picks up Phil.

"Oh, you little rascals!" Betty smiled at them.

"Daddy's here. Oh, Chuckie!" Chas said as he spins Chuckie around.

"Angelica, CJ, sweethearts, everything's going to be okay." Charlotte said as Drew picks up Angelica and Charlotte picks up CJ.

" Oh, Mommy, oh, Daddy!" Angelica said happily as Charlotte kisses CJ's head. "Did you miss me? You okay?" Drew asked his daughters.

The monkeys look on in bewilderment. Charlotte's phone rings. Instead of answering it, she tosses it into the water. Grandpa pulls Stu up with a rope.

"You've got the Pickle spirit, son. Maybe not the brains, but the spirit." Lou said.

"Oh, Stu, you did it! You found our boys." Didi said happily.

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

"Yeah, I guess I did." Said Stu.

Tommy and Dil hug each other.

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

"My little furry comrades!"

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

The monkeys happily run towards their circus owners. The others get out of the way to avoid them. One monkey kisses Serge on the lips.

"Babies and monkeys, both lost. Now both found!" The reporter said.

"This is my story, pal!"  An injured Rex shoves the reporter out of sight. "I'm Rex Pester. Stay tuned!"  The monkeys gang up on Rex and harass him. Camera cuts to static." Aagh! No, not the toupee! Nooooooooo!"

"Go get him, you little simians!" Betty laughed.

"Hey, Rex, time for your close up!" Charlotte said.

Angelica, CJ, Phil, Drew, Lil, Howard, Chuckie, Didi and Stu join in laughing.

Dil drinks his bottle, then shares it with Tommy.

" I'm sorry about all this, Drew." Stu apologized. " It's all right, little brother. For a nincompoop, you're not half bad." Said Drew, holding CJ close.

( Yes, back with the family)
