( Mrs. Goldfeder screaming )
I think that was Mrs. Goldfeder.
I think you're right.
Go lock the door.
Stop!
Come on, please? Please lock it. Lock it.
Stop!
( screams )
Mrs. Goldfeder, what's wrong?
Other than the fact that I now have
a shattered eardrum.
My house was robbed!
Hold me, Craig.
I feel so violated!
Oh, now, I do too.
They took our computer and TV.
But luckily, they didn't get
the money Ma hides under the mattress.
Petey, that's a secret!
Where did you get such a big mouth?
He must have got it from his father.
Boy, I cannot believe something like this happened
in our neighborhood.
We got to do something.
What if we have like
a neighborhood watch group?
We got to fight back.
Whoa, whoa, slow down, KC.
Those things require organization
and strong leadership.
Thanks for volunteering, Craig.
Me?
Yeah. Dad,
who's a better leader than you?
Please, Mr. Cooper,
it would make me and Ma
feel so much safer.
Uh, okay. Wow.
That's enough of that.
All right, I'll do it. I'll do it.
Just tell everyone in the neighborhood
to be here tomorrow night at 6:00.
Perfect. If it's not too much trouble,
put some snacks out.
Nothing fancy,
maybe a deli platter for 40.
Great. Now, I got to feed the whole block?
Dad, no one wants to talk
about taking down punks
on an empty stomach.

You know,
it's scary when things are amiss in the hood.
Don't worry.
The E Man is ready to protect you.
Ow!
( scoffs ) And who exactly
is gonna protect the E Man?
Hey Marisa, where's your parents?
Oh, my dad says it wasn't necessary to come.
He figured if the house was broken into
and the credit cards were stolen,
the thieves would spend less money
than my mom.
Oh, hey.
Look who got all dressed up
for the neighborhood watch meeting.
No, this is how I always dress.
Chicks dig berets.
So that's what I've been doing wrong.
Yeah, 'cause that's what's hurting your game
is your lack of a French hat.
Hey, I wanna welcome you to our first meeting
of the Melby Lane Watchdogs.
( barking )
Uh, Mrs. Goldfeder.
Sit.
Stay.
Good girl.
All right. Now, I wanna introduce
our watch leader,
my dad, Craig Cooper.
Craig: Thank you. Thank you.
I'd like to start by reassuring everyone
that I've spoken to the authorities
and everything is under control.
Under control?
Strangers went through my unmentionables drawer.
My unmentionables, people!
My unmentionables!
Or mentionable, she definitely mentions them a lot.
So when do we get our pepper spray
and maximum impact Tasers?
Ho, ho, ho, Herb,
with all due respect,
more accidents happen when civilians
try to do the police's work.
( all sigh in disappointment )
With somewhat less respect,
you're talking out of the cheeks
you sit on.
I think what everyone's saying, Dad, is that...
we need to take some action.
ALL: Yeah!
But as for leader,
you should probably tell them your plan.
I will.
Thank you.
I suggest you all go home
and buy motion sensor lights for your driveway.
Call the police if you see anything suspicious
and stay informed by signing up for my email list.
( all sigh in disappointment )
Yeah. Email list!
Now, that's what I'm talking about, Dad!
( laughs )
Wait a minute, what are you talking about, Dad? STYLE ::cue(.speaker) ::cue(.speakerTop)
That's your solution?
Why don't we just put signs on our doors
that say, "I'm a sucker, rob me"?
But my dad has another plan
to take shifts patrolling the block.
Craig: No, no one is patrolling the streets
because no one is trained. Okay?
This is a neighborhood watch, people,
so everyone just go home
and watch.
( music playing )
Look what I made for you, Judy.
It's a painting of the sun.
What do you think?
Slippy, I think it would be less painful
to stare at the actual sun.
Let me see yours.
Judy, it's beautiful,
breathtaking,
and perfect.
Just like you.
Ms. Fortunato,
I need a bathroom pass.
I'm gonna be sick to my stomach.
( music playing )
Hey, Dad! Hurry up. Hey, yo!
What happened? What's wrong? I don't want you to be late
for your debriefing.
Yeah, but I have plenty of time...
I know. It's okay. Love you, bye.
( barking )
Finally, I thought he would never leave.
You got a lovely home, KC.
By the way, you're out of air freshener
in the guest bath.
Well, now you are.
Herb, you do realize that "make yourself at home"
is just an expression.
All right, everyone,
I'm really excited to be your new group leader.
Uh, KC... Marissa, just wait.
KC. I think you should know...
Marissa, just a second.
Like I was saying,
I will be calling all the shots,
but my dad cannot know about that.
Actually... Marissa, just wait.
Okay?
Now, where was I?
You were saying something about your dad
not finding out.
A little tip, KC,
if you're gonna be the watch leader,
you should at least know when someone is watching.
By the way, your dad's here.
( music playing )
Dad, okay, it's not what it looks like.
So you didn't secretly take over
the neighborhood watch.
Okay. There's a very strong resemblance
to what it looks like.
Is this what you people really want,
a 16-year-old leading you instead of me?
Okay, Dad, it is not a competition.
Says you.
All those in favor
of the pencil-pushing accountant
who wants to email crime away,
raise your hands.
Mm-kay.
Everyone who wants KC to teach us
how to knock the bajeepers
out of anyone who messes with us?
You wanna count up those votes, Craig,
or do you need your calculator?
( music playing )
Hi, Judy. Hi, Judy.
( sighs )
Slippy, if you're going to be my man,
you need to know.
I hate puppies, I can't stand cartoons,
videogames make me sick,
and I love Brussels sprouts.
( gasps )
I know.
I'm not the girl you thought I was
and you don't want anything to do
with me now, right?
I don't know how it's possible,
but I love you more now
than when we started this conversation.
We have so much in common, darling.
Can I call you, darling?
Just call me idiot
because I actually thought this might work.
( music playing )
Dad, may I please have the butter?
I don't know.
Am I good enough to pass you the butter?
Dad...
Let's take a vote.
All those in favor
of me giving KC the butter,
raise your hand.
Mm-kay?
I'm starting to think this has nothing to do
with butter.
I distinctly told you
that getting the civilians riled up
about fighting crime was a bad idea.
But, Dad, that's not what the neighborhood watchdogs think.
And they want a leader who actually listens to them.
Oh, I know how they feel
because I wanna be listened to also.
Dad, I only disobeyed you
because I don't agree with you.
I mean, do I have to do everything you say
and agree with everything you do
just because you're an adult?
Yes, that's the way it works.
I give an order, you listen to it.
Okay. Is that my ranking officer talking or my dad?
Both. STYLE ::cue(.speaker) ::cue(.speakerTop)
Yeah, well,
could my ranking officer tell my dad
that he's being completely unfair.
( music playing )
I don't think so, hooligan!
( whistling )
What's wrong?
This clown was breaking into my house
so I had to introduce his face
to the pavement!
Dad, you're the neighborhood burglar?
Please tell me you did not go through
her unmentionables.
( music playing )
I cannot believe you broke
into Mrs. Goldfeder's house.
Please tell me there's some kind of reasonable explanation
for why you would do that.
Of course there is.
I wanted to make you look bad.
Oh, interesting.
'Cause who exactly
would you say looks bad now?
Because I'm pretty sure it's not me.
I meant I was trying to prove
you were taking them down the wrong road.
Those people aren't equipped to handle a real threat.
I think we both know
what you need to do now.
Of course, I do.
( sighs ) Go ahead. I'm listening.
I'm making my own watchdog group
and we're taking yours down!
Mm-hmm.
You know what? That was not the apology
I was looking for!
Crowd: Watchdogs! Watchdogs! Watchdogs!
Okay. Okay. My three-pronged strategy
to dealing with... Sorry, Dad,
could you speak up?
I can't hear you over KC's
much larger, much louder,
and much better organized
neighborhood watch group.
It's not about the numbers.
Thank you, Herb.
It's about having a cooler name.
How about...
the Watchdogs?
That's what KC's group is called, Herb.
They're chanting it now.
( crowd chanting )
Okay.
How about...
the Dog Watchers?
Ooh.
That doesn't even make any sense!
Look, the name is not a priority, okay?
We need to focus on building an operation that...
Yes, Herb?
The Looky Loos.
Excuse me?
That should be our name,
the Looky Loos.
The Looky Loos,
very catchy.
Okay. Stop, stop, stop with the name.
You're losing sight of what's important here.
Catching bad guys? No,
being better than KC's group.
Do you smell hot wings?
I think they're serving hors d'oeuvres downstairs.
I think I'm just...
You're not going anywhere, Herb.
( music playing )
I'm sorry, Slippy.
It's not you.
Somebody else already has my heart.
I think you're making this up
because our feelings for each other
are too powerful for you to deal with.
Yeah.
Keep telling yourself that.
For the last time,
I already got a boo.
And that boo ain't you.
Sure you do.
Petey: Judy!
Judy!
Step off, Slippy!
I'm her man!
See,
I said it just like you told me to.
Oh, wait.
I forgot to hold your hand.
Let me start again.
Step off, Slippy!
I'm her man!
Humans.
What? Nothing.
( music playing )
KC: And then my dad tells me to grow up
and when I do, he still treats me like a child.
Like, when is he gonna realize
that I'm old enough to have my own opinion?
KC, between you and me,
you're 10 times the man your father is.
Are you trying to build my self-confidence
or make me cry?
( cell phone ringing )
Hello. Yes, that is the right address.
Just make a right at the shrubbery.
Yoo-hoo!
Hi!
This is for you. Thank you.
Seriously, you ordered a pizza?
Oh, no, I ordered the chance
to slip Matt Danson my number.
The pizza just came with it. STYLE ::cue(.speaker) ::cue(.speakerTop)
( music playing )
See anything suspicious?
Yeah. Those guys ordered a pizza,
but it doesn't seem like there's any cheese on it.
Wait,
the cheese is in the crust.
That's not fair.
If the Watchdogs get pizza,
the Looky Loos should too.
Hey, I never approved that name.
We're not getting pizza.
We're here for one reason and one reason only
and that's to catch a thief before KC does,
so I can hold it over her head and make her group
rue the day they banished Craig Cooper!
I thought we were here to stop crime.
Yeah, that too.
I need a few minutes.
I need to use the Looky Loo.
I got to pee.
Here, use my place.
Let yourself in. That'll work.
I don't know why he couldn't just use
these bushes like everyone else.
Oh, Ernie.
My bad.
( music playing )
( gasps ) I see something.
Let me guess.
You ordered frozen yogurt for dessert?
Don't be ridiculous.
They refuse to deliver to a bush.
Give me those!
I do see something suspicious.
Big mouth was right.
I'm the one with the big mouth?
Let me see.
Wait a minute.
There's a guy taking stuff
out of that house.
This is what we trained for, people.
Let's sic 'em, Watchdogs.
( all three barking )
Dad, the Watchdogs are mobilizing.
There must be a burglar.
We got to get him first. Come on. Let's go.
Looky Loos!
That is not our battle cry.
They got the barking, we need something.
( music playing )
Freeze, dirt bag!
( screams )
( grunts )
What is wrong with you?
You're right. I should've done this.
( grunts )
Too late, Dad. You snooze, you lose.
Score one for the Watchdogs.
No way. I'm taking him in.
What? No! I'm taking him in!
No, I'm taking him in!
No, Dad, I said I'm taking him in!
Who's taking me and where and for what?!
For robbing this house.
It's my house!
I was taking out the trash.
( clears throat ) You got him, Dad.
Wait, Mr. Hancock?
Wow, you've lost weight.
And got hair plugs.
You look great.
Thanks for noticing, big mouth.
See?
( siren blares )
Ernie: Hey look, the police are pulling
into that house.
Guys, that's our house.
Come on. Let's go.
Looky Loos!
Cut that out!
This neighborhood's going down the toilet.
What's going on, Officer? I live here.
Well, got a call from your neighbor across the street.
He saw your floodlights go off in your driveway,
called us, said there was a suspicious man
loading things into a car.
Man, what kind of creep would do that?
That would be me.
Herb, you're a disgrace to the Looky Loos.
I know.
All right. Let's go, you. Come on.
So, Cooper, you recruited a robber
into our neighborhood watch group,
invited him into your home to case the joint,
and then let him rob you blind
while we were squatting in the bushes.
That's not how it happened at all.
Yeah, he didn't break in.
Dad gave him the key.
Thank you, Ernie.
Dad, I'm really sorry.
Your whole plan of having everyone just stay at home
and keep watch
and let the police do their job
was completely right
and I should've listened to you.
You are the grown-up.
Well, maybe next time, I'll actually act like one.
I'm sorry, KC. I can't blame these guys
for wanting to follow you.
You're a good leader.
Hey, I wonder where I get that from.
( both laugh )
Hey, I mean this thing isn't a total loss, right?
I mean, at least we got to get to know our neighbors.
Mm-hmm. Maybe instead
of a neighborhood watch group,
we could do like book club.
Yeah,
we can call it the Booky Loos.
Booky Loos!
Give it up, Ernie.
What? It's catchy!
( music playing ) STYLE ::cue(.speaker) ::cue(.speakerTop)
Petey: Judy!
I got you strawberry swirl.
It's as sweet as you are.
How many times do I have to tell you?
You don't have to pretend to be my boyfriend anymore.
Who's pretending?
I'm crazy about you, baby.
You're loud, you're obnoxious,
and you spit when you talk.
You remind of my mom.
Ah, shut your yogurt hole.
That's just what Ma would say!
Well, now that I know how you feel about me,
it's time you know how I feel about you.
So I invited my friends Pentatonix
to sing it you.
Hit it, guys.
One, two, three, four.
