All Grown Up! (2003–2008): Season 1, Episode 12 - Tommy Foolery - full transcript
April Fools' Day has always been a big hit with the 'Rats. Only this year, no one knows who is pranking whom when everyone seems to be collaborating on secret plans to have the greatest prank.
TOMMY:
What's the dealy-o,
Dilly-o?
Tell me you're not going
out for cheerleading...
again.
You're still trying
to get a plane
to land in the backyard?
Way more boffo.
I have at last received
communication from aliens.
( laughs )
Shocking.
Do you believe it, guys?
( laughter )
Don't believe me?
Check that out.
Four, three, two, one!

CHUCKIE:
That's... pretty freaky.
One word: coincidence.
I mean, aliens?
I don't know, Tommy.
It is the explanation from the
kid waving a Blubberworld flag.
( laughter )
WOMAN:
"For never was a story
of more woe,
than this of Juliet
and her Romeo." Oh!
Thus ends the bard's tragic,
love-filled masterpiece.
He's my Romeo.
Well, he's tragic.
How'd you get paired up
with him
on the clean-up committee
for the dance?
Just lucky, I guess.
Love is so very elusive.
Sometimes found
but mostly lost.
And now, alas,
I'll be chaperoning
our spring fling
unescorted, solo, alone.
And now, who can describe
Juliet in one word? Sean?
Uh, nice?
( laughter )
Uh, very nice?
( chuckling )
Uh, like, not mean.
Romeo didn't like mean girls,
and I don't either.
Me and Romeo don't
like the meanies.
Guess that counts you out.
What do you mean?
What do you mean
what do I mean?
I mean you're mean, so adios
to any chance with Sean
the genius.
I happen to be very nice.
I think so, too.
Who asked ya?
Mm-hmm.
I bet you can't be nice,
as in
not mean,
for one day.
No, no, no, make that four days,
till the spring fling.
Four days?!
I mean, n-no prob.
Only, what's in it for me?
That warm, fuzzy
feeling you get
when you do something
for others?
Shall I repeat the question?
I'll tell you what, Angelica.
You pull it off,
and I'll switch jobs
with you for the dance.
Just think,
you and Sean,
working side by side.
Yeah. Picking up trash.
Okay, you're on.
Nice for four days,
starting now.
Does that mean we won't be on
the Sunshine Welcome Committee?
Cork it!
Ow!
Okay, now.
TOMMY:
Dil told me
he found it in the backyard
where the aliens
left it for him.
He's just not giving up
on this stuff.
You don't think there could
be something to it, do ya?
No way.
You know Dil.
He always thinks
aliens are around.
Yeah, Chuckie.
He thought you were one
till last Wednesday.
Ha, ha.
But if you think about it,
this is the first time
Dil's ever actually said
they talked to him.
Plus, the woodpile thing
was bizarro.
Well, that leaves two choices.
Either Dil did it,
or they did.
♪ Ooh-wee-ooh. ♪
( laughter )
Okay, there's a logical reason
for everything.
It's so not Dil to work
that hard, moving wood.
Unless... oh, man, it's obvious.
He's out-pranking us.
Revenge for making him believe
Spike laid that egg.
Oh, yeah.
That was a good one.
He sat on it a whole day.
I don't know.
It doesn't really seem like
Dil to think up a prank.
Exactly.
Nothing's like Dil.
That's what makes Dil Dil.
And his plan--
almost perfect.
He's sure the last thing
we'd expect from him
is the old reverse prank.
Back me up.
So, Dil,
ready to meet
the aliens, huh?
Not today.
Just laser tag practice.
My team is awesome.
We're lose free.
And if we win tomorrow, we're in
the finals on Saturday.
Wow, that rocks, Dil.
WOMAN:
There you go, Dilly.
One beat-the-enemy
banana power smoothie to go.
Saturday, hmm.
Isn't that when the aliens
are coming?
Maybe they'll
show in time
for the big game.
Whoa.
Then I'd be famous
on two planets.
Well, got to jam.
PHIL:
Dil's livin' it.
He didn't bat an eye.
Then there's only
one thing to do--
out-out-prank
little brother Dilan.
Got any ideas?
It's got to be
really, really big.
I got to say he's acting
like he really believes it.
No way. He knows
we're watching.
Anyway, this is all part
of his elaborate scheme.
But I know how his mind works,
and I'm one step
head of him
on the scheme-o-meter.
So, what do you got,
Ben Pranklin?
We're going to pull the old
pranko double reverse.
We plant signs so Dil will think
the aliens really are coming.
He'll be so confused,
yet excited,
his head will explode.
Sweet.
Wow, I see it. Totally.
I see the message
in those mashed potatoes.
Me, too.
Six little hills,
then the big one.
I'm pretty sure it says they're
coming early Saturday...
before noon.
Dil, did you see
those weird lights
outside your window,
this morning?
No. Really?
Wow. Weird lights,
message in the potatoes...
this is all going in my Aliens
and Me journal.
Right after practice!
Meanwhile, Dil, I'll, uh, keep
on the lookout for more signs.
Thanks, T.
( laughter )
Tommy, just wanted to tell
you, you're the best.
It really means a lot to me
that you believe me
this time--
you know, trust me
the way I trust you.
( sighs )
Wow.
That sounded like
he meant it.
He's good.
Uh, you think he'll buy it?
Hello? He converses
with potatoes.
Tommy!
Wow. How did you...?
I didn't.
It's them.
They're really talking
to me now.
It's so wicked.
( groans )
But I got to catch some Zs.
You know, I am in training
for the game of my life.
Do you realize it's
the first team
I've ever been on
that's ever won anything?
We could even win the finals.
Uh, I'm really proud of you, D.
You'll do great.
Thanks, bro.
Hey, T, you think
they have brothers?
Don't know.
Uh, but you can ask them
when they come.
Well... 'night, D.
'Night, T.
'Night, guys.
Love the hair.
We should hang sometime.
Cute top.
Sorry, Angelica--
phony nice won't cut it.
You want the Sean deal?
Keep it real.
Fine. Like what?
An act of selflessness,
uh, giving of yourself-ness.
Like a good deed.
You got to be more specific.
People, places...
I need some direction here.
( crying )
Well, if anyone needs
a good deed,
it's Miss Faucet-face.
Geez, why don't
I just climb Mount Everest
while I'm at it...
twice.
Ooh. All ready for your game?
And it's not just any game.
It's the big game
before the bigger game.
Dil, it is so nice
how dedicated you
are to your team.
Laser tag rules.
Got to go.
By the way, do you
happen to know
why all the pictures in the
house are upside down,
except yours?
Whoa!
This is big!
They did it!
( muffled laughter )
It's another alien sign, Mom.
Uh-huh.
First, the bicycle
suspended in midair.
Now this.
Wait till I tell Tommy
when I get home from my game!
The what suspended where?
Come on, he's going to be
back soon.
Got the perfect finishing touch.
Cool.
Hey. How's it
looking Chuck-o?
Uh, like the real deal?
Uh, kind of.
If nobody minds a crop circle
that looks more like
a crop parallelogram.
We won! We're in the finals!
Way to go, D.
We got to celebrate.
O... kay!
But first, did you see
any more signs?
Anything at all?
Nope, nothing else.
Now me, I like to celebrate
a huge victory
with some, uh, uh, fresh air.
Funny. I prefer fresh socks.
( laughs )
Wow. Your victory is, uh...
so much in the air.
I can actually, uh, feel it,
uh, right out there.
Can you feel it too,
like, uh, now?
Yes. I feel it. I feel it, T.
Ah, it's everywhere.
Up and, and down.
Whoa! Did you see that?
Wow!
What is it?
They're totally talking now.
They knew I'd go for the bizarro
non-circle crop circle.
Wonder what the blue means.
Who cares?!
I love their color sense.
They're so stylish.
I can't believe it's really
happening,
and in my own backyard.
Okay, now they've told me
almost everything I need.
Uh, they have?
Ex-acto.
My picture was the only
right side up one.
So that means they want me
to come right up.
The crop parallelogram
means field.
So, I'm to meet them
in the field
where I usually
ride my bike!
Now I just need to know
one more thing.
Which is?
Exactly when they
want to meet me.
Yeah. When.
How many more days of this?!
I tell you what,
Angelica...
you do just one more
nice teeny-weeny thing,
and you and Sean get
to clean up the gym.
Really?!
Whatever it is,
piece o' cake.
( moans )
No, O'Keats.
Conquer Mount Everest?
Huh?
Poetry.
My heart yearns for the poetry
of... the poets.
( cries, blows nose )
I think she likes poetry.
Yeah.
Right, poetry.
She needs Pangborn.
Pangborn?
Oh, not him, girl.
Hey, he's got poems.
Hideous ones, but, but...
( bell rings )
( kids chattering )
( groans )
M-Miss O'Keats?
When you mentioned
the Spring Fling,
I-I got very sad.
You see, my parents
can't be there this year
to watch me fling,
uh, into spring.
So, I too am alone
and was hoping...
That I'll be there
for you, Angelica?
I'm chaperoning anyway.
Though I planned on
lurking in the shadows,
I shan't let you down.
Oh, it'll be such
a comfort knowing
that you're standing
at the, uh...
northwest corner
of the punchbowl.
Huh?
The northwest corner of the...
Punchbowl?!
Well, okay.
Anything so you won't
feel all alone.
Thank you.
( sniffles ):
Thank you.
Oh, yeah, bring
your poetry book.
Huh?
Okay, now is where
little brother gets busted
and has to fess up.
Though, I must admit
his acting's better
than I thought it would be.
So, come on,
what's the plan, Stan?
All we have to do
is plant a sign
saying the aliens are coming
at exactly the same time
as Dil's big
laser tag final.
Aha!
He'll have to come clean then.
Yep. He'd never
forfeit his game.
Five, four, three, two, one.
( alarms ring )
Okay, act casual.
( alarms ringing )
Did you hear?
All the clocks went off,
and they all say the same thing:
Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
( gasp )
And the time at the tone
is Friday, 4:30.
That is too weird.
Whoa!
What does it mean?
It means they're coming
Saturday at 6:00!
( gasp )
Wow.
They travel at 6:00
on a Saturday.
Oh, wait a minute, Dil.
When's your big
laser tag game?
( gasp )
Oh.
How, oh, how can you possibly
be at your game
and the field where the aliens
are coming at the same time?
( moans )
Ooh, uh, ooh, uh, oh!
Tommy, I have
to confess something.
T, I know how much you believe
in me and everything...
It's okay, Dil.
We know.
You do?
So you're not
disappointed in me?
No way, little bro.
You pulled it off so far,
and you did great
up till now.
Oh, cool.
So you'll just
have to wait
till next year
to see me win.
Huh?
I'm not going
to my laser tag final.
I hate letting
my teammates down,
but I'm going to that field
to meet my large-headed,
tiny-chinned,
extended index-fingered friends.
Okay, guys, uh,
I'm starting to feel bad.
I-I think we can all agree,
Dil really believes
it's happening.
Wasn't that the whole idea?
Yeah, when we thought
he was pulling one on us,
but now, I-I'm not
even sure he was.
I-I think we should
tell him, guys.
What?!
No way!
Aren't you the one who laid down
the rules of prank?
Pick the idea,
plan it out...
Keep it a secret...
ALL:
And follow it through
to the end.
And did I mention,
keep it a secret?
But, guys, he, he's blowing off
his team's championship game.
Maybe he wants you
to think that,
and it's part of his setup.
What if it isn't?
Ever think of that?
Uh, no.
Check it out.
LIL:
Tin foil!
If that isn't a fake
alien in the making.
Oh, he's pranking us all right.
We're talking Dil here.
He could be just dressing up
as the tin man again.
Or not.
I say, if anything,
now's the time to amp it up.
Like, do an all-out
alien visitation
at the field.
Awesome, Lilian.
Thank you, Philip.
Tommy, if you think about
it, Dil loves a good joke.
He'll laugh.
This could go down
as one of your
all-time greatest, T.
Or not.
Uh, Dil?
Uh, what's up
with the foilage?
Oh. It's my turn to bring snacks
to the laser tag game.
But seeing as I've opted
for column alien,
would you mind bringing 'em?
Really?
That's what the tin foil
was for?
Duh. I only do tin man
on leap years.
Don't worry.
I won't stay with them long.
I'll tell them I have
a cool family... and homework.
Oh, I can't wait
to meet 'em.
Oh. Dil, I-I got
to tell you something.
Too much clothing? Okay.
I won't take the
beret and tap shoes.
Dil! Oh, man.
Uh, okay. Here goes.
Dil? It's all a hoax.
Uh, all those signs.
We did 'em all.
A hoax?
A prank, just to get you,
because we thought
you were pranking us.
I really thought this time
they were coming... to see me.
Why are you telling me now?
I guess the more
excited you got,
the guiltier
I started feeling.
I don't want you
to miss your big game.
I'm really sorry, D.
So, the bike?
Us.
Pictures?
Us.
The crop?
Yes. Yes.
All of it.
Wait a minute!
How'd you know
what all those signs meant?
What?
They don't mean anything.
( laughs )
Don't you get it?
You think it's an accident
that you happened
to come up with those signs.
Who do you think planted
them in your brain?
Oh, they are clever
little guys,
or girls, or things.
The parallelogram was brilliant!
Actually, that was
just bad mowing.
Of course it was, Tommy.
They're talking to me...
through you!
I got to get to that field.
But, Dil!
You're right.
I may need
the tap shoes.
( dance music plays )
Ugh!
Do I have to do everything
around here?
Anyone know a good poem?
I do.
I wrote a whole
book of 'em.
( gasp )
Really?
You're a... poet?
Yes, uh, would you
like to hear one-- oh!
Wow.
You really did a good deed.
Uh, are you kidding?
That was the mother
of all good deeds.
So, I win, right?
Yep, and there's
your prize now.
( imitating fart )
( boys laughing )
Here. Go sweep
him off his feet.
Happy trash duty, Angelica!
Dil!
( gasps )
( radio tuning )
Whoa!
Hello! I'm here.
It's me, Dil! Hi!
Dil,
it's just Phil, Lil and Chuckie.
It's Christmas lights
and silver-painted...
Tommy, Tommy.
They made those guys do this.
You don't think
they wanted to land
in some boring,
empty field, do ya?
They wanted a show!
You know, wacky lights,
funky sounds,
the whole deluxe package.
Psych!
( laughing )
Gotcha!
Actually, they got you.
Huh?
Ah, Dil, come on.
It's over.
They're not coming.
Uh-huh.
Ye of little faith.
( all gasp )
I've been looking
for you kids everywhere.
What in the Mount St. Helens
are you doing in this field?
( alarm beeps )
Phew.
Phew.
We just pulled the alien
prank of pranks on Dil.
About which he
remains in denial.
Ah, don't worry, Dilly.
You'll get 'em next time.
How 'bout we go home
and scare up
some ice cream.
Cool.
Thank you.
Sounds great.
They really aren't coming?
I tried to tell you.
I-I'm sorry, Dil.
I feel really bad.
You mean, you really
did do this to me?
Like, nobody made you?
Wow.
I thought you
finally believed me.
Why'd you do that, Tommy?
Oh, man, Dil, please.
I-I couldn't possibly
feel any worse.
Let's just
get outta here.
( electronic pulsing )
It was amazing.
We ordered in.
They love their pizza.
They eat it 14 kleptors a day.
So, much happen
while I was gone?
It's been, like,
three seconds.
Yeah, three seconds Earth time.
Okay. Uh, come on.
We're gonna go to our house
for ice cream.
No way. Got to get to my game
before 6:00.
Dil, what are you
talking about?
Your game's way over.
Check again.
Huh? It's 5:45.
Okay, and that happened how?!
They did that for me.
They didn't want me
to miss my game.
( electronic pulsing )
( blubbering )
( quacking )
( boing )
Eee! Eee! Eee!
I mean, eee!
What's the dealy-o,
Dilly-o?
Tell me you're not going
out for cheerleading...
again.
You're still trying
to get a plane
to land in the backyard?
Way more boffo.
I have at last received
communication from aliens.
( laughs )
Shocking.
Do you believe it, guys?
( laughter )
Don't believe me?

before the bigger game.
Dil, it is so nice
how dedicated you
are to your team.
Laser tag rules.
Got to go.
By the way, do you
happen to know
why all the pictures in the
house are upside down,
except yours?
Whoa!
This is big!
They did it!
( muffled laughter )
It's another alien sign, Mom.
Uh-huh.
First, the bicycle
suspended in midair.
Now this.
Wait till I tell Tommy
when I get home from my game!
The what suspended where?
Come on, he's going to be
back soon.
Got the perfect finishing touch.
Cool.
Hey. How's it
looking Chuck-o?
Uh, like the real deal?
Uh, kind of.
If nobody minds a crop circle
that looks more like
a crop parallelogram.
We won! We're in the finals!
Way to go, D.
We got to celebrate.
O... kay!
But first, did you see
any more signs?
Anything at all?
Nope, nothing else.
Now me, I like to celebrate
a huge victory
with some, uh, uh, fresh air.
Funny. I prefer fresh socks.
( laughs )
Wow. Your victory is, uh...
so much in the air.
I can actually, uh, feel it,
uh, right out there.
Can you feel it too,
like, uh, now?
Yes. I feel it. I feel it, T.
Ah, it's everywhere.
Up and, and down.
Whoa! Did you see that?
Wow!
What is it?
They're totally talking now.
They knew I'd go for the bizarro
non-circle crop circle.
Wonder what the blue means.
Who cares?!
I love their color sense.
They're so stylish.
I can't believe it's really
happening,
and in my own backyard.
Okay, now they've told me
almost everything I need.
Uh, they have?
Ex-acto.
My picture was the only
right side up one.
So that means they want me
to come right up.
The crop parallelogram
means field.
So, I'm to meet them
in the field
where I usually
ride my bike!
Now I just need to know
one more thing.
Which is?
Exactly when they
want to meet me.
Yeah. When.
How many more days of this?!
I tell you what,
Angelica...
you do just one more
nice teeny-weeny thing,
and you and Sean get
to clean up the gym.
Really?!
Whatever it is,
piece o' cake.
( moans )
No, O'Keats.
Conquer Mount Everest?
Huh?
Poetry.
My heart yearns for the poetry
of... the poets.
( cries, blows nose )
I think she likes poetry.
Yeah.
Right, poetry.
She needs Pangborn.
Pangborn?
Oh, not him, girl.
Hey, he's got poems.
Hideous ones, but, but...
( bell rings )
( kids chattering )
( groans )
M-Miss O'Keats?
When you mentioned
the Spring Fling,
I-I got very sad.
You see, my parents
can't be there this year
to watch me fling,
uh, into spring.
So, I too am alone
and was hoping...
That I'll be there
for you, Angelica?
I'm chaperoning anyway.
Though I planned on
lurking in the shadows,
I shan't let you down.
Oh, it'll be such
a comfort knowing
that you're standing
at the, uh...
northwest corner
of the punchbowl.
Huh?
The northwest corner of the...
Punchbowl?!
Well, okay.
Anything so you won't
feel all alone.
Thank you.
( sniffles ):
Thank you.
Oh, yeah, bring
your poetry book.
Huh?
Okay, now is where
little brother gets busted
and has to fess up.
Though, I must admit
his acting's better
than I thought it would be.
So, come on,
what's the plan, Stan?
All we have to do
is plant a sign
saying the aliens are coming
at exactly the same time
as Dil's big
laser tag final.
Aha!
He'll have to come clean then.
Yep. He'd never
forfeit his game.
Five, four, three, two, one.
( alarms ring )
Okay, act casual.
( alarms ringing )
Did you hear?
All the clocks went off,
and they all say the same thing:
Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
( gasp )
And the time at the tone
is Friday, 4:30.
That is too weird.
Whoa!
What does it mean?
It means they're coming
Saturday at 6:00!
( gasp )
Wow.
They travel at 6:00
on a Saturday.
Oh, wait a minute, Dil.
When's your big
laser tag game?
( gasp )
Oh.
How, oh, how can you possibly
be at your game
and the field where the aliens
are coming at the same time?
( moans )
Ooh, uh, ooh, uh, oh!
Tommy, I have
to confess something.
T, I know how much you believe
in me and everything...
It's okay, Dil.
We know.
You do?
So you're not
disappointed in me?
No way, little bro.
You pulled it off so far,
and you did great
up till now.
Oh, cool.
So you'll just
have to wait
till next year
to see me win.
Huh?
I'm not going
to my laser tag final.
I hate letting
my teammates down,
but I'm going to that field
to meet my large-headed,
tiny-chinned,
extended index-fingered friends.
Okay, guys, uh,
I'm starting to feel bad.
I-I think we can all agree,
Dil really believes
it's happening.
Wasn't that the whole idea?
Yeah, when we thought
he was pulling one on us,
but now, I-I'm not
even sure he was.
I-I think we should
tell him, guys.
What?!
No way!
Aren't you the one who laid down
the rules of prank?
Pick the idea,
plan it out...
Keep it a secret...
ALL:
And follow it through
to the end.
And did I mention,
keep it a secret?
But, guys, he, he's blowing off
his team's championship game.
Maybe he wants you
to think that,
and it's part of his setup.
What if it isn't?
Ever think of that?
Uh, no.
Check it out.
LIL:
Tin foil!
If that isn't a fake
alien in the making.
Oh, he's pranking us all right.
We're talking Dil here.
He could be just dressing up
as the tin man again.
Or not.
I say, if anything,
now's the time to amp it up.
Like, do an all-out
alien visitation
at the field.
Awesome, Lilian.
Thank you, Philip.
Tommy, if you think about
it, Dil loves a good joke.
He'll laugh.
This could go down
as one of your
all-time greatest, T.
Or not.
Uh, Dil?
Uh, what's up
with the foilage?
Oh. It's my turn to bring snacks
to the laser tag game.
But seeing as I've opted
for column alien,
would you mind bringing 'em?
Really?
That's what the tin foil
was for?
Duh. I only do tin man
on leap years.
Don't worry.
I won't stay with them long.
I'll tell them I have
a cool family... and homework.
Oh, I can't wait
to meet 'em.
Oh. Dil, I-I got
to tell you something.
Too much clothing? Okay.
I won't take the
beret and tap shoes.
Dil! Oh, man.
Uh, okay. Here goes.
Dil? It's all a hoax.
Uh, all those signs.
We did 'em all.
A hoax?
A prank, just to get you,
because we thought
you were pranking us.
I really thought this time
they were coming... to see me.
Why are you telling me now?
I guess the more
excited you got,
the guiltier
I started feeling.
I don't want you
to miss your big game.
I'm really sorry, D.
So, the bike?
Us.
Pictures?
Us.
The crop?
Yes. Yes.
All of it.
Wait a minute!
How'd you know
what all those signs meant?
What?
They don't mean anything.
( laughs )
Don't you get it?
You think it's an accident
that you happened
to come up with those signs.
Who do you think planted
them in your brain?
Oh, they are clever
little guys,
or girls, or things.
The parallelogram was brilliant!
Actually, that was
just bad mowing.
Of course it was, Tommy.
They're talking to me...
through you!
I got to get to that field.
But, Dil!
You're right.
I may need
the tap shoes.
( dance music plays )
Ugh!
Do I have to do everything
around here?
Anyone know a good poem?
I do.
I wrote a whole
book of 'em.
( gasp )
Really?
You're a... poet?
Yes, uh, would you
like to hear one-- oh!
Wow.
You really did a good deed.
Uh, are you kidding?
That was the mother
of all good deeds.
So, I win, right?
Yep, and there's
your prize now.
( imitating fart )
( boys laughing )
Here. Go sweep
him off his feet.
Happy trash duty, Angelica!
Dil!
( gasps )
( radio tuning )
Whoa!
Hello! I'm here.
It's me, Dil! Hi!
Dil,
it's just Phil, Lil and Chuckie.
It's Christmas lights
and silver-painted...
Tommy, Tommy.
They made those guys do this.
You don't think
they wanted to land
in some boring,
empty field, do ya?
They wanted a show!
You know, wacky lights,
funky sounds,
the whole deluxe package.
Psych!
( laughing )
Gotcha!
Actually, they got you.
Huh?
Ah, Dil, come on.
It's over.
They're not coming.
Uh-huh.
Ye of little faith.
( all gasp )
I've been looking
for you kids everywhere.
What in the Mount St. Helens
are you doing in this field?
( alarm beeps )
Phew.
Phew.
We just pulled the alien
prank of pranks on Dil.
About which he
remains in denial.
Ah, don't worry, Dilly.
You'll get 'em next time.
How 'bout we go home
and scare up
some ice cream.
Cool.
Thank you.
Sounds great.
They really aren't coming?
I tried to tell you.
I-I'm sorry, Dil.
I feel really bad.
You mean, you really
did do this to me?
Like, nobody made you?
Wow.
I thought you
finally believed me.
Why'd you do that, Tommy?
Oh, man, Dil, please.
I-I couldn't possibly
feel any worse.
Let's just
get outta here.
( electronic pulsing )
It was amazing.
We ordered in.
They love their pizza.
They eat it 14 kleptors a day.
So, much happen
while I was gone?
It's been, like,
three seconds.
Yeah, three seconds Earth time.
Okay. Uh, come on.
We're gonna go to our house
for ice cream.
No way. Got to get to my game
before 6:00.
Dil, what are you
talking about?
Your game's way over.
Check again.
Huh? It's 5:45.
Okay, and that happened how?!
They did that for me.
They didn't want me
to miss my game.
( electronic pulsing )
( blubbering )
( quacking )
( boing )
Eee! Eee! Eee!
I mean, eee!
