Late Night Snack/Transcript


 * (We begin with a night sky. Titles appear, Universal Pictures and Illumination present followed by Late Night Snack. The camera pans down to reveal a two-story house. Inside we hear a man and children's voices.)
 * Daddy: Good night, kids.
 * Kids: Good night, Daddy.
 * (The camera zooms in on a bedroom window. We see two boys and two girls sleeping. The camera zooms in on a digital clock which reads 8:00 p.m. The words "A few hours later" appear. The digital clock now reads 12:00 a.m. One of the boys, David, wakes up while his stomach rumbles. The other boy, Michael, and the two girls, Amy and Jennifer wake up as well.)
 * David: I'm hungry!
 * Michael: Me too!
 * Amy: Me three!
 * Jennifer: Me four!
 * David: Let's go to the fridge for a midnight snack.
 * (The kids sneak out of their bedroom and down the stairs. They come into a doorway leading to the kitchen. The camera zooms across the room and stops at the fridge as light illuminates around it like a holy grail. The kids gasp in horror when they see some obstacles in the way. The obstacles include rollerblades, a baseball, a vase, a baby sleeping in a bassinet, a cuckoo clock, a sleeping dog, a tricycle, a television, a parrot sleeping in a birdcage, a picture frame, a toy keyboard, a bowl of fruit, a radio, a dish with a piece of chocolate cake, a sleeping cat, and a pile of pots and pans. In the middle of the room, Daddy is sleeping in his bed.)
 * Michael (whispering): We have to be very quiet. Any one of these things could wake up Daddy!
 * (The kids tiptoe into the room.)
 * Amy: Well, so far, so GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!! (She trips over the rollerblades, hitting the floor with a THUD!)
 * Kids: Shhhh!
 * (Daddy stirs, but then goes back to sleep.)
 * Kids: Phew!
 * (Michael walks backwards and steps on the baseball, sending it flying across the room. The ball bounces off the walls and crashes through a window. Daddy doesn't stir and remains asleep.)
 * (David bumps backward into a table the vase is on. The vase wobbles then drops to the floor with a CRASH! Daddy almost stirs, but goes back to sleep.)
 * (Jennifer backs into the baby's bassinet and nearly knocks it to the floor.)
 * David, Michael, Amy: (gasp) Tony!
 * (The kids grab the bassinet and turn it upright before it hits the ground. Startled by the impact, Baby Tony suddenly wakes up crying loudly and kicking his feet. The kids try to shush him. Daddy begins to stir. Jennifer quickly picks Tony up and rocks him back to sleep.)
 * Jennifer: Rock-a-bye baby on the treetop
 * When the wind blows, the cradle will rock (Tony stops crying and Daddy goes back to sleep.)
 * When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
 * Then down will come baby, cradle and all
 * (Tony yawns and falls back to sleep. Jennifer puts him back into the bassinet.)
 * David: That certainly was a close one!
 * (Michael backs into the wall. The force of Michael hitting the wall sets off the cuckoo clock, which begins to chime. The chimes almost wake up Daddy, but he manages to go back to sleep.)
 * (Jennifer trips over the dog, who begins barking loudly.)
 * Jennifer: Shhhh, Fido! Quiet, or you'll wake up Daddy!
 * (Jennifer gives Fido a bone and he stops barking. Daddy goes back to sleep.)
 * Amy: Jennifer, way to quiet Fido! (She suddenly backs into the tricycle, sending crashing to the floor. The sound of the trike hitting the ground almost wakes up Daddy, but he goes back to sleep.)
 * (David steps on a remote control and the television turns on. A clown is shown laughing and juggling.)
 * Clown: Hey, kids! Who's your favorite clown?
 * Audience kids: Gizmo!
 * (David turns off the TV, just as Daddy goes back to sleep.)
 * (Jennifer bumps into a birdcage stand, causing the birdcage to shake, waking up the parrot.)
 * (The parrot flies around the cage, panicking and sending feathers flying.)
 * Jennifer: Shhhh! Quiet, Polly, or you'll wake up Daddy!
 * (Jennfier places a cloth over Polly's cage, silencing him. Daddy goes back to sleep.)
 * Kids: Good night, Polly.
 * Polly: Good night.
 * (David backs into the wall, causing a picture frame to shake and fall to the floor with a THUD! He manages to hang the picture back up before Daddy could stir.)
 * (Michael steps on a toy keyboard which begins to play the song Yankee Doodle)
 * Voice on keyboard: Yankee Doodle went to town
 * A-riding on a pony
 * Stuck a feather in his cap
 * And called it macaroni
 * (Michael quickly turns off the keyboard.)
 * Amy: Whew, that was close!
 * (Amy bumps into a table the bowl of fruit is on. A pineapple, some grapes, an apple, some bananas, and an orange fall out of the bowl, but the kids manage to grab the fruit and put them back in the bowl.)
 * (As David is walking, he accidentally turns on the radio, which plays Happy by Pharell Williams.)
 * Pharell Williams: Huh (Because I'm happy)
 * Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
 * (Because I'm happy)
 * Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
 * (Because I'm happy)
 * Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
 * (David shuts off the radio before Daddy could wake up.)
 * David: That was close!
 * Amy: You said it! (She bumps into a table which has a plate with a piece of chocolate cake on it. The plate crashes to the floor.) Oops!
 * (Daddy snorts, but goes back to sleep.)
 * (Jennifer accidentally steps on the cat's tail, making him scream in pain.)
 * (Jennifer: Shhhh! Be quiet, Tiger, or you'll wake Daddy!
 * (Jennifer gives Tiger a toy mouse and he goes back to sleep just as Daddy does the same.)
 * Michael: We're almost there. (He accidentally knocks over a pile of pots and pans, causing them to fall with a loud CRASH! Daddy nearly wakes up, but settles back down.)
 * (The kids finally make it to the refrigerator.)
 * Kids: (whispering) Hooray!
 * Jennifer: We made it to the fridge!
 * Amy: I knew we could do it!
 * David: Now we can have our midnight snack!
 * Michael: And we didn't wake Daddy!
 * (David has a banana, Michael has a chocolate chip cookie, Amy has a candy cane, and Jennifer has a slice of apple pie.)
 * (The fridge door closes revealing the words The end.)
