I MEAN, WHAT DID YOU THINK I WAS GOING TO DO ANYWAY, HUH? FALL APART? ( Mommy chattering ) OKAY, BYE-BYE. ( blubbering ) MY MOMMY'S GONE, MY MOMMY'S GONE AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO BRUSH MY TEETH BY MYSELF. LOOK AT THIS LIST OF STUFF THAT SHE WANTS ME TO DO. TAKE OUT THE TRASH... MAKE YOUR BED... SAY "PLEASE" AND "THANK YOU." WHAT DOES SHE THINK I AM SOME KIND OF MATURE ADULT? SCHEMER, HASN'T YOUR MOTHER EVER GONE AWAY BEFORE? NOT OVERNIGHT, NO. I CAN'T DO ALL THIS STUFF. OH, YES YOU CAN.

A LOT SHE CARES. SHE'S GOT EVERYBODY WORKING FOR HER-- BILLY, THE KIDS. OH, GENIUS TIME. CHILDREN, CHILDREN OH, CHILDREN, RUSH OVER HERE, PLEASE TO SEE SCHEMER. OH, HELLO, CHILDREN. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A GAME TODAY? WHAT'S THE GAME CALLED? I'M GLAD YOU ASKED. THE NAME OF THE GAME IS "DO STUFF FOR SCHEMER." THERE'S A LIST OF STUFF HERE.

OH, WELL, A FEW MORE PHONE CALLS AND OLD SCHEMER IS GOING TO BE LIVING ON EASY STREET. ( chuckles ) YEAH, KIND OF STRANGE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT SCHEMER WITHOUT HIS MOTHER AROUND, HMM? OH, I THINK IT'S KIND OF SAD. WHAT'S SO SAD ABOUT IT? SCHEMER MAY NOT HAVE HIS MOTHER AROUND BUT THEN, SCHEMER'S MOTHER DOESN'T HAVE SCHEMER AROUND. SHE'S THE LUCKY ONE. ( laughter ) BILLY, HAVE YOU SEEN DAN? UH... NOPE. I HAVEN'T SEEN BECKY, EITHER. WELL, I'M HERE TO WORK. WHAT'S OUR FIRST STEP? YOUR FIRST STEP IS TO WATCH YOUR STEP. THAT SHELF ISN'T N... NAILED IN. Stacy: ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? ALL RIGHT? I APPEAR FOR WORK AND FALL OFF A SHELF? I'VE HAD BETTER JOBS. SORRY ABOUT THAT, MR. CONDUCTOR. BECKY AND I NEVER FINISHED THE SHELF. YOU'LL HAVE TO FINISH IT ALONE. SHE AND DAN WENT TO DO SCHEMER'S CHORES FOR HIM. SCHEMER'S HOUSE? I SUPPOSE IT'S GOOD THAT THEY WENT TO HELP SCHEMER BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD US WHERE THEY WERE GOING. AND BEFORE THEY LEFT ME ROLLING DOWN THE SHELF. WELL, SHALL WE GET TO WORK? Schemer: RIGHT THIS WAY, RIGHT THIS WAY. NICE AND EASY. EASY, EASY, EASY! SHEESH, THIS IS MY MOMMY'S FAVORITE PICTURE OF ME. CUTE KID. ( laughs ) HERE'S YOUR BILL, MAC. SURE, NO PROBLEM, MY FRIEND. NO PROBLEM AT ALL. THERE YOU ARE. HMM. "I OWE YOU FOR THIS BILL," SIGNED, SCHEMER. ARE YOU KIDDING? WE NEED REAL MONEY-- HARD, COLD CURRENCY CASH. THIS IS ONLY A DUMB LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER. HEY, YOU'LL GET PAID. WHEN? WHEN YOU DO. INSTEAD OF PAYING US THIS WISE GUY HERE HANDED ME AN I.O.U. SO WHEN DO ME AND MY PARTNER HERE GET OUR MONEY? DID I MENTION A TIP? A NICKEL APIECE, COLD, HARD CASH AND ABOUT THOSE I.O.U.s-- FORGET ABOUT THEM. THERE'S PLENTY MORE WHERE THOSE CAME FROM, HMM? WHAT IN THE WORLD? SCHEMER, WHAT IS ALL OF THIS? JUST A FEW THINGS TO GIVE THIS PLACE THE ILLUSION OF HOME. OH, SCHEMER, YOU CAN'T BE THINKING OF LIVING AND SLEEPING IN THIS STATION. JUST BECAUSE YOUR MOTHER'S AWAY. Ginny: HEY, HEY, HEY, IT'S WHAT DO WE SAY... HI, GINNY. OH, HI, MISS JONES. WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME, HUH? YOU ARE WHEELING AROUND SCHEMER'S WORLD-FAMOUS THREADS AND CLOTHES IN A WHEELBARROW? OH, STOP YOUR WHINING. I HOSED IT OUT BEFOREHAND. YOU DID, HUH? MM-HMM. THIS IS DIRTY! THAT'S CLEAN. DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY, IT'S ALL DIRTY DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY. NOW, THIS IS CLEAN. NOW, TAKE THE REST OF THOSE AND DO THEM. NOW, WHEN DO I GET PAID? GLAD YOU ASKED THAT, GINNY. THERE YOU GO. WHAT'S THIS, AN I.O.U.? A PIECE OF PAPER? I WANT SOME REAL MONEY. YOU'LL GET REAL MONEY. RIGHT NOW, I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE A SHORTFALL OF NICKELS. MM-HMM? WELL, GINNY, DID I MENTION A TIP? TIP? DID I MENTION TWO TIPS? SOLD. ( laughs ) NEXT TIME I MIGHT EVEN WASH YOUR CLOTHES IN WATER.

HE'S GOT GINNY DOING HIS LAUNDRY! SOUNDS LIKE A DIRTY JOB AND ONE THAT CAN END UP BADLY FOR EVERYONE. DOESN'T IT SORT OF REMIND YOU OF JAMES AND PERCY? OH, I DON'T FOLLOW YOU ON THAT ONE, MR. C. I CAN'T SEE PERCY WRITING AN I.O.U. NO, BUT HE STILL GOT HIMSELF IN AN AWFUL MESS. ( blows whistle ) SOUNDS TO ME THAT THE WAY SCHEMER'S GOING HE'S GOING TO END UP IN A BIGGER JAM THAN PERCY. GIN, BE A DOLL AND TOSS THAT OVER, WILL YOU? A MAN CAN'T TAKE HIS MIDDAY NIPPY-NAP WITHOUT HIS BLANKEY. OKAY, MIDGE, GO AHEAD. OF COURSE. BUT BEFORE I READ YOUR FAVORITE STORY FROM YOUR FAVORITE STORYBOOK... YOU'RE NOT GIVE ME A BEDDY-BYE KISS, ARE YOU? NO, SCHEMER. I WAS ONLY GOING TO SAY, "PAY ME FIRST OR THIS STORY ENDS BEFORE IT BEGINS." OH, IS THAT ALL? MM-HMM. OKAY. THERE YOU ARE. "ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WERE THREE LITTLE PIGS..." NO, NO, NO, NO. SKIP THAT PART ABOUT THE TWO *** PIGS WITH THAT WOLF. GO TO PAGE EIGHT, PARAGRAPH THREE. PARAGRAPH THREE. YEAH, PAGE EIGHT. "AND SO THE FIRST LITTLE PIG SAID TO THE OTHER TWO 'YOU CAN CERTAINLY STAY IN MY HOUSE MADE OF BRICK.'" I LOVE THIS PART. "'BUT YOU'LL EACH HAVE TO PAY ME A NICKEL TO GET IN. IT'S CALLED PROTECTION MONEY.'" ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL? "THE TWO OTHER PIGS DIDN'T HAVE ANY NICKELS "AND THEY SAID "'BUT THE BIG BAD WOLF WILL EAT US IF YOU DON'T LET US IN.'" SO THE FIRST PIG SAID TO THE OTHER TWO PIGS..." "'HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK-- "'I'M MADE OF MONEY? LET THE WOLF EAT BACON.'" SCHEMER! THIS IS THE MOST AWFUL VERSION OF "THE THREE LITTLE PIGS" I EVER HEARD. THERE'S ANOTHER VERSION? I'M NOT GOING TO READ ANOTHER WORD. OKAY, SCHEMER, WE DID EVERYTHING ON YOUR LISTS. WE DON'T WANT TO DO ANY MORE. WE WANT TO BE PAID. AS YOU WISH. THERE YOU ARE, PAYMENT IN FULL. BUT THIS IS A PIECE OF PAPER. "I OWE YOU FOR WORKING FOR ME"?! THIS ISN'T REAL MONEY. TUT-TUT! THAT IS KNOWN IN CONTRACTUAL LAW AS A BLINDING AGREEMENT. I WILL PAY YOU IN 60 DAYS HENCE. HENCE I CAN PAY YOU WHENEVER I WANT TO. HOLD IT! OPEN MY EYES AND SHINE IN A FLASHLIGHT BUT ARE YOU TELLING US THAT YOU HAVEN'T PAID ANYONE? WELL, DEPENDS WHAT YOU MEAN BY "PAY." PAY! WITH MONEY! SCHEMER, IF I HEAR THAT YOU HAVEN'T PAID ANYONE... ( engine revving ) IT'S MR. WINSLOW! HEY, THERE, BARTON! HEY, WHAT'S THE WORD, GINNY? OKAY, SCHEMER, I GOT THAT GRUB YOU ORDERED AND IT'S FOOD CITY. YOU DIG? WOW! CRAZY, CRUNCHY, CRISP CHIPS! MM, PISTACHIO POPSICLES! AND THE PIECE DE RESISTANCE A DOUBLE-WHAMMY, TRIPLE-CHEESE COWBOY BEEFBURGER SWIMMING IN RELISH. WOW! BUT... I DON'T THINK I CAN EAT THOSE. I JUST HAD 15 CHILLY WILLY BARS. NOW, SCHE-MAN, LET ME LAY IT STRAIGHT TO YOU. I DON'T CARE WHETHER YOU EAT IT OR NOT-- YOU'RE GOING TO PAY ME FOR IT. BARTON, IT'S NOT MY PLACE TO SAY BUT I HAVE IT FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE THAT SCHEMER HASN'T PAID ANYBODY ANYTHING EXCEPT IN I.O.U.s. IS THAT TRUE, SCHEMER? YOU'RE NOT PAYING ANYBODY? WELL... I MEAN... HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF CREATIVE FINANCING? LET ME AT HIM! UH-UH, HOLD IT, HOLD IT, BARTON! THIS SLIMY, SCHENG WORM IS MINE FIRST! OH? WELL, WHAT ABOUT OUR...? ( arguing simultaneously ) Midge: THAT'S NOT AS BAD AS HAVING TO READ "THE THREE LITTLE PIGS" IN A TERRIBLE VERSION... HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, WHERE'S SCHEMER? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? HE'S RIGHT HERE. OH! OH! POP ME OUT OF A TOASTER-- THAT WEASEL TOOK A POWDER. BARTON, FIRE UP THAT OVERGROWN PAINT MIXER OF YOURS. WE'RE GOING WEASEL HUNTING. ( engine revving ) SCHEMER, YOU COME BACK HERE! SCHEMER'S IN A LOT OF TROUBLE THIS TIME. DID SOMEONE SAY "TROUBLE"? IF PEOPLE WERE JUST MORE CAREFUL THEY WOULDN'T WIND UP IN ANY... MR. CONDUCTOR, LOOK OUT! TROUBLE AT ALL. HOW DID YOU DO THAT? THIS IS A LITTLE TRICK OF MINE. AND SPEAKING OF TRICKS, IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE SCHEMER'S BEEN TRICKING SOME GOOD PEOPLE. HE SURE HAS. HE BROKE HIS PROMISE TO PAY EVERYONE. YEAH, HE'S BEEN REALLY IRRESPONSIBLE. HE CHEATED PEOPLE, AND THAT'S NOT GOOD. IT'S A SHAME WHEN PEOPLE DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THINGS THEY SAY THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. YOU MEAN, LIKE HELPING BILLY WITH THE SHELF? YES. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THAT THE HARD WAY. I FORGOT TO HELP AUNT STACY. AND THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.

YEAH, IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU TWO GOT HERE. AUNT STACY, BILLY BECKY AND I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU. YEAH, WE'RE REALLY SORRY WE DIDN'T FINISH OUR JOBS. I GUESS WE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE RESPONSIBLE. WELL, THE FIRST STEP IN BECOMING MORE RESPONSIBLE IS LEARNING TO DO BETTER. YOU AND DAN, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE. YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW? RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE REALIZE WHEN THEY'RE WRONG. MM-HMM, AND YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO ADMIT IT... WHICH IS MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR SOME PEOPLE. Schemer: HE'S ABSOLUTELY SCHEMER, AND HE'S ME... THE WONDERFUL ME. SCHEMER! WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TALK. MISS JONES I AM SO FAR AHEAD OF YOU, I ALREADY AM. YOU'RE READY TO START TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF? TAKE RE... H-A, H-A, H-A. GOOD JOKE, JONESY. NO, I JUST REALIZED THAT I HAD OVERESTIMATED THE INTELLIGENCE OF MY EMPLOYEES. BUT SCHEMER HAS RECTIFIED THAT SITUATION. Dan: THAT'S RIGHT, WITH THIS-- A LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP TO SCHEMER'S ARCADE AND I READ: "FOR EVERY NINE TIMES "SOMEONE USES ONE OF THE MACHINES "THEY GET ONE FREE MACHINE USE ONCE A WEEK, EVERY OTHER MONTH LEAP YEAR EXCLUDED." SO THEY'LL HAVE TO COME HERE A LONG TIME BEFORE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PAY THEM BACK. 463 YEARS, TO BE EXACT. MISS JONES, I'M ALWAYS THINKING. AND REMEMBER ONE THING: IF IT'S NOT IN HERE... IT'S IN HERE. OH, SCHEMER, I DON'T THINK ALL YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE GOING TO BE SO HAPPY WITH THAT IDEA. YOU THINK THAT I AM SCARED OF MIDGE SMOOT, BARTON, WINSLOW AND GINNY? WHO'S THAT LADY WHO JUST GOT OFF THE TRAIN? GINNY AND MIDGE SMOOT ARE TALKING TO HER. THE LADY HAS A GREAT BIG HAT WITH FLOWERS ON IT AND A PLASTIC SKUNK. A PLASTIC... A PLASTIC SKUNK! UH-OH-HO! WHAT! OH, NO, IT'S MY MOMMY! SHE'S COME HOME EARLY. I GOT TO STRAIGHTEN THIS PLACE UP. OOH! MISS JONES, I HAVE TO STRAIGHTEN THIS PLACE UP. I TOLD MY MOMMY I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MYSELF SO PLEASE COME HELP ME QUICK. I PROMISE YOU I'LL GIVE YOU A TWO-YEAR SUBSCRIPTION TO MY PLACE. NO, NOT THIS TIME, SCHEMER. NO, SCHEMER, YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO THIS; YOU HAVE TO GET YOURSELF OUT OF IT. I TOOK THE FAMILY SCHEMER PLEDGE. I GOT TO FIX THIS PLACE UP. I KNOW I CAN DO IT. SHE'LL NEVER KNOW IT. I KNOW I CAN DO IT. I KNOW I CAN DO IT. SHE'LL NEVER KNOW. SHE WILL NEVER KNOW. IT'S TOO LATE, SCHEMER, SHE KNOWS ALREADY. I TOLD YOUR MOMMY EVERY LAST DETAIL. WHAT DID SHE SAY? SHE SAID ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU'LL HAVE TO LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND HOW TO BE KIND TO OTHERS EVEN WHEN SHE'S NOT HERE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. OH, WHERE IS SHE NOW? OH, SHE'S AT HOME, WAITING FOR YOU. SHE WANTED TO BE THERE WHEN YOU GOT HOME SO THAT SHE COULD HELP YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND FIND YOUR BLANKEY AND TUCK YOU INTO YOUR BEDDY-BYE. OH, GOOD. I GUESS THAT MEANS I'M FINISHED CLEANING UP AROUND HERE, ANYWAY. MOMMY!
