P.C.: What about Puffball?

Putter: SHE'S SHE'S VACUUM PACKED!! THAT THING AND SHE....AND SHE.....SHE WENT......POP! POP! POP! POP! POP!

Party: He's popping out of control.

P.C.: I'll handle this.

Putter: Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.

P.C.: Putter, get ahold of yourself.

Putter: Ba-ba-ba.....ahhh......That suction thing got Puffball! She's trapped in the dustbin!

P.C. and Party: POPPLE TROOPERS!

Bonnie: [face off-screen] Here we go!

[Party causes the car to shift into gear and enter the carwash, without the engine running]

Party: Get a move on, P.C.

P.C.: Could somebody open a window please?

Billy: OH NO! We promised Mom that we'd keep all the windows closed.

Party: P.C., Hurry!

P.C.: Hmmm.....This could be a definite problem.

Billy: But we didn't say anything about the roof.

P.C.: Notice I said COULD!! [snaps his left fingers allowing the roof to magically open and he jumps up grabs Party's ball of her tail as she floats away in search of Puffball in the dustbin]

[Animation Goof: The car originally had rear suicide doors until they were changed to conventional doors with handles on the outside in the scene where the roof opens up]

[Billy and Bonnie are grappling on the open roof trying to put it back up]

Bonnie: I can't get this thing up!

Billy: Not like that...like this...

[Putter lands on the head restraint on the passenger seat and sees that the car is getting close to the pre-wash cycle]

Bonnie: Now look what you've done...it's stuck.

Putter: Uh...you guys....

Billy: No it isn't.

Bonnie: Yes it is!

Putter: You guys....

Bonnie: DON'T FORCE IT!

Putter: Hey you guys! Oh, forget it. [unleashes a large umbrella and opens it up to canopy the whole interior of the car]

Billy: [To Bonnie] Cabbage-nose!

Bonnie: [To Billy] Broccoli-breath!

---

Mom: [walks to the car] Hi, kids. Oh, the car is sparkling clean! [gets inside the car] Even the interior, it looks like new! And you opened the roof?

Billy: That was my idea.

Bonnie: Show-off!

Billy: Shatter-head!

Bonnie: Cracker-brain!

[the car drives off from the carwash and back onto the streets, the trunk opens up and reveals the Popples laying on mats and wearing sunglasses]

Party: Who's got the Popple-lotion? [laughing]

[the Popples all laugh as the car disappears until the screen fades out]
