GNASHER BARKS

-Ha-ha! First day of summer. Time for a dip.

-Time for a swim.

Time to make a splash! Ha-ha!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

-Not this year. You lot are banned from the pool.

-Why?

I know what you did last summer.

BOING! Jelly!

You have to admit, Sergeant, it was a TRIFLE funny.

Oh, go jump in the lake!

Ha-ha... Ah!

Right, bombs away!

-Not this year, Dennis. You are banned from the lake, remember?

-Why?

And now your pesky pet thinks I'm lunch!

Fine.

I know the perfect place to keep cool.

OK, this is not cool, not cool at all.

At least it's got bubble jets.

I don't think it does, Pie-Face.

Ha-ha-ha!

ALL: Aaaargh!

It burns! It burns my nose!

Live from my back patio, welcome to this summer's pre-eminent

sporting spectacular, The Walter Games.

Hoorah!

Starring the indomitable champion - me!

And the stadium goes wild.

Round one, diving for dictionaries.

Wow! It's a paradise!

Like the one I got in me ear at school camp.

-That was a PARASITE, Pie-Face.

-Oh, yeah.

Dennis, do you think we should ask Walter

if he would let us go in his...?

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

-Oi!

-Come on in, boys!

Don't even think about it, Dennis!

Pool rules - no more than three kids and one pet in the pool at a time.

Meow!

Grrrr!

And definitely no Menaces.

Aaargh!

Oh...

Right, we want to swim and we will get a swim! New mission, Menaces.

Operation extract Walter from the pool.

Walter Games round two - synchronised Shakespeare.

ALL: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

-Aaargh! Ooh!

-Gnash!

Aargh! Help me! I'm frightened!

Grrr, gnash!

Got you - hook, line and sausage.

Grrrr-aaargh!

Gnash, gnash.

Round three, backstroke to Bach.

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

'Warning, all holiday-makers.

'News just in,

'summer is ending early!'

What?!

Hey-hey!

Urgh!

'Followed by gale-force blizzards.'

Urgh! Brrr!

'And, in local news, Walter smells.'

Hang on, that weatherman sounds horridly familiar.

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Busted, Dennis!

Menaces, this leaves us with one final option.

-He put lobsters in your swimming pool?!

-Exactly!

Lobsters in my swimming pool!

Right, Dennis, I'm not letting you ruin another summer.

Three strikes and you are out. It will be summer school for you.

Summer?! School?!

Those two words don't even belong in the same sentence.

-And these lobsters are strike one.

-Oh, come on, Sergeant.

Don't you know the meaning of the word "fun"?

No.

And don't even think about breaking in again, Dennis.

Say hello to Pool Boy 2.0.

'Good morning, Walter.

'It certainly is a nice day for a swim.'

Morning, boys.

Nice day for a swim...

in Walter's pool.

There is no way you'll get in!

Oh, yeah? Just watch me.

Baked for a good cause, you say?

Well, one box of cookies won't break the bank. What flavour?

Butter Wouldn't Melt In My Mouth flavour.

Oh...

Oh, there are so many cookies to sell and it's so hot.

Oh, you poor thing!

Would you like a swim in our pool?

Oh, you are too kind.

Ha-ha-ha!

'Intruder alert!

'No more than three children and one pet in pool at a time.'

Whaaaa! Whooo! Aargh!

Oh!

Nice try, Angel-Face. Let that be a warning.

You are all forbidden to set a single foot in my back garden.

Or else!

Hmmm.

We won't need to set a foot in his garden

because we are going to build...

a water slide!

We'll fly from the tree house,

whizz through Curly's Corkscrew,

past Pie-Face's Peril,

around Gnasher's Nemesis

and down Dennis's Doom Drop,

out the spout, leaping the alley, flying over the laser beams

and into Walter's pool.

-I thank you!

-Oh, it's great, Dennis.

One question, how do we squeeze into that tiny slide?

We're going to build it big, Pie-Face!

Instant access to the pool

and all without setting a single foot in Walter's garden.

Hey-hey!

Right, we will need to distract Walter while we hammer and bang,

-which is why we'll need you.

-For an all-summer pass to your slide?

It would be my pleasure.

I'm sorry, you are who?

Frau Strudel Pretzel,

recruiting officer for the Swiss-German Walter Games team.

Wait a minute.

Are you saying we have a chance to compete professionally?

Oh, ja. SHE BLOWS WHISTLE

Training drill begins now.

Drop and give me 30!

Eins, zwei, drei, vier, funf...

Step one, borrow a few spare pipes.

Hey! That's strike two, Dennis!

Stop messing about. Summer is not meant for fun!

Honestly, Sergeant, weren't you ever a kid?

No.

PUFFING AND PANTING

Schoolbook steeplechase!

Faster! Higher! Stronger!

Step two, borrow some water.

Oi! What are you boys doing here?

Erm, playing catch.

Here, catch!

Aaargh! Oh! Ay!

PUFFING AND PANTING

Frau Strudel Pretzel, are we on the team?

Nope.

Angel-Face?!

You felonious fraudster!

Oh, stop it! You'll make me blush.

Now listen, I've got some valuable intel on Dennis.

Step three, build the slide.

ALL: Wow!

Menaces, let's ride!

Be brave, Paul.

Wahey!

Woo-hoo!

WOMAN SCREAMS

Someone has tampered with the trajectory!

Hmm, cookie crumbs. I taste a...

traitor!

Hi, Dennis. Hi.

Walter has kindly given me an all-summer pass to his pool.

Isn't that sweet?

Too bad there is no room for you.

Don't get too cosy, clever clogs.

We'll fix the slide and then we're splashing in.

Dream on, Dennis!

Afternoon, Sergeant Skipper.

Illegal construction of a constructed structure

without structural permit? That's strike three, Dennis.

Pack your bags, you're off to summer school!

You should have thought twice before building a...

giant water slide?!

Would you like a ride, Sergeant?

Ohh... Huh? No, no, don't be silly, Dennis.

I'm a grown man, I couldn't possibly.

Cannonball!

Ice cream!

Wahey!

'Intruder alert!

'No more than three children and one pet in pool at a time.'

Oh, dear.

Waaaahhh!

There's only one way into the pool, Walter.

What do you say?

An all-summer pass to our slide for an all-summer pass to your pool.

Hnnnnggggh!

Oh...

Whoooaaaaa!

-THE MENACES LAUGH

-Result!

This is going to be the best summer ever!
