1
00:00:05,722 --> 00:00:07,941
[knocking on door]

2
00:00:09,421 --> 00:00:11,380
Oh, hey, Dave!

3
00:00:11,423 --> 00:00:13,164
Come on in, buddy.

4
00:00:14,687 --> 00:00:16,080
Wow, you're ina really good mood.

5
00:00:16,124 --> 00:00:19,692
I know. A new potholeopened up on Jefferson,

6
00:00:19,736 --> 00:00:21,346
and it is tearing uppeople's cars.

7
00:00:21,390 --> 00:00:24,175
They're breaking downright in front of my shop.

8
00:00:24,219 --> 00:00:25,176
[chuckles]

9
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:26,873
Ain't God good?

10
00:00:28,092 --> 00:00:29,876
Okay, well, sinceyou're so happy,

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,140
you won't mind if Iborrow a couple tools.

12
00:00:32,183 --> 00:00:33,228
Sure, what do you need?

13
00:00:33,271 --> 00:00:34,968
Okay, let's see.

14
00:00:35,752 --> 00:00:37,101
Here we go.

15
00:00:37,145 --> 00:00:39,625
Uh, all right.Miter saw, belt sander,

16
00:00:39,669 --> 00:00:41,105
power drill,carriage bolts,

17
00:00:41,149 --> 00:00:43,020
auger bits,and the instruction manuals

18
00:00:43,064 --> 00:00:45,196
on how to use all those things.

19
00:00:47,633 --> 00:00:49,940
Dave, I've told you a hundredtimes, we are not building

20
00:00:49,983 --> 00:00:52,073
a bridge connecting our houses.

21
00:00:54,336 --> 00:00:57,252
It was not a bridge,it was a catwalk.

22
00:00:59,645 --> 00:01:01,778
But this is aboutsomething else. Okay.

23
00:01:01,821 --> 00:01:04,084
Grover has been begging mefor a tree house,

24
00:01:04,128 --> 00:01:06,130
and since he's visitinghis grandmother for a few days,

25
00:01:06,174 --> 00:01:09,568
I thought I'd surprise himwith one when he gets home.

26
00:01:09,612 --> 00:01:11,135
A tree house, huh?

27
00:01:11,179 --> 00:01:13,529
I remember the oneI built for Malcolm and Marty.

28
00:01:13,572 --> 00:01:15,313
That thing was amazing.

29
00:01:15,357 --> 00:01:18,011
Well, I've got some prettyexciting plans myself.

30
00:01:18,054 --> 00:01:21,276
Two words: bird feeder.

31
00:01:23,626 --> 00:01:26,890
I got two words for you:poor Grover.

32
00:01:28,109 --> 00:01:29,110
Aw, man.

33
00:01:29,153 --> 00:01:31,590
You should've seenthe one I built.

34
00:01:31,634 --> 00:01:33,375
It had a lookout perch,

35
00:01:33,417 --> 00:01:34,854
a rope swing.

36
00:01:34,898 --> 00:01:38,206
It even had a secret doorthat led to a slide.

37
00:01:38,249 --> 00:01:41,252
I can't believe I'm saying this,but screw feeding the birds.

38
00:01:41,296 --> 00:01:44,125
Yeah, man, the boys spentthe entire summer up there.

39
00:01:44,167 --> 00:01:45,517
By the time they came down,

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,391
Marty needed longer pantsand Malcolm had a goatee.

41
00:01:50,304 --> 00:01:52,481
Well, Calvin,that sounds awesome. Hey--

42
00:01:52,524 --> 00:01:54,004
is there any chancethat you would help me

43
00:01:54,047 --> 00:01:55,527
build Grover's tree house?

44
00:01:55,571 --> 00:01:57,094
Hmm.

45
00:01:57,137 --> 00:02:02,012
This may be the potholetalking, but I'd love to.

46
00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:03,753
You know what, I gotsome extra wood in my garage,

47
00:02:03,796 --> 00:02:04,971
and anything else we need,

48
00:02:05,015 --> 00:02:06,538
we can getat the hardware store.

49
00:02:06,582 --> 00:02:09,062
Okay, perfect. Also, we canswing by the pet store.

50
00:02:09,106 --> 00:02:11,848
I have 200 poundsof birdseed to return.

51
00:02:13,806 --> 00:02:15,939
♪ Welcome to the block,welcome to the neighborhood ♪

52
00:02:15,982 --> 00:02:17,158
♪ Welcome to the hood.

53
00:02:21,684 --> 00:02:23,816
Wow, you really know yourway around Home Warehouse.

54
00:02:23,860 --> 00:02:25,296
You found everythingso quickly.

55
00:02:25,340 --> 00:02:26,819
Everything except you.

56
00:02:26,862 --> 00:02:29,692
Where the hell did youdisappear to for so long?

57
00:02:29,735 --> 00:02:31,346
Sorry. Any time I seea plant section,

58
00:02:31,389 --> 00:02:34,305
I like to pretendthat I'm lost in the jungle.

59
00:02:35,915 --> 00:02:38,091
Hey, guys. Oh, nice.

60
00:02:38,135 --> 00:02:39,484
Dave, I seeyou finally talked my dad

61
00:02:39,528 --> 00:02:41,312
into building that catwalk.

62
00:02:41,356 --> 00:02:43,184
Wrong.

63
00:02:43,227 --> 00:02:46,187
I'm helping Davebuild a tree house for Grover,

64
00:02:46,230 --> 00:02:48,537
just like the one I builtfor you and Malcolm.

65
00:02:48,580 --> 00:02:50,147
Oh, really? That's fantastic.

66
00:02:50,191 --> 00:02:52,410
Yeah, you know, just thinkingabout it brings back

67
00:02:52,454 --> 00:02:56,022
a lot of happy memoriesof you boys playing in yours.

68
00:02:56,066 --> 00:02:57,937
Yeah, me too, Dad.[chuckles]

69
00:02:57,981 --> 00:03:01,724
Man, see, that is exactlythe kind of memories

70
00:03:01,767 --> 00:03:03,247
that I want to have with Grover.

71
00:03:03,291 --> 00:03:05,075
Aw, man, well, you won'tif you let my dad build it,

72
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:07,033
because Grover will be dead.

73
00:03:09,558 --> 00:03:11,037
W-What are you talking about?

74
00:03:11,081 --> 00:03:12,213
Trust me, man,the one that my dad

75
00:03:12,256 --> 00:03:13,605
built for us was a nightmare.

76
00:03:13,649 --> 00:03:15,041
It had a hole in the floor,

77
00:03:15,085 --> 00:03:16,999
splinters everywhere,nails poking out.

78
00:03:17,043 --> 00:03:19,350
It was like playing insidea knife drawer.

79
00:03:19,394 --> 00:03:20,917
[stammers]

80
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,527
I mean, what am Isupposed to do?

81
00:03:22,571 --> 00:03:25,313
I mean, your dad is so excited,I can't ask him to stop now.

82
00:03:25,356 --> 00:03:27,402
Well, in that case,the only thing you should do

83
00:03:27,445 --> 00:03:31,188
is use this sawto cut down your tree.

84
00:03:31,232 --> 00:03:33,886
No, wait. You know what? No.Marty, you're an engineer.

85
00:03:33,930 --> 00:03:37,412
Look, you can help us build itand make sure that it's safe.

86
00:03:37,455 --> 00:03:40,284
Dude, are you kidding me?If my dad finds out you asked me

87
00:03:40,328 --> 00:03:42,243
to supervise his work,he'll be furious.

88
00:03:42,286 --> 00:03:43,722
Well, then,he doesn't need to know.

89
00:03:43,766 --> 00:03:46,421
Just swing by and makea few casual suggestions.

90
00:03:46,463 --> 00:03:48,510
Then you're not steppingon his toes.

91
00:03:48,552 --> 00:03:51,687
And more importantly,Grover won't lose any of his.

92
00:03:51,730 --> 00:03:53,776
I don't know, man.

93
00:03:53,819 --> 00:03:55,299
Good news, Dave!

94
00:03:55,343 --> 00:03:57,562
I figured out a waywe can run a zip line

95
00:03:57,606 --> 00:04:00,086
from the roof to the tree house.

96
00:04:00,130 --> 00:04:02,437
We just got to get aroundthose power lines.

97
00:04:07,485 --> 00:04:08,834
So, 1:00 okay for you?

98
00:04:11,184 --> 00:04:13,230
Yes...

99
00:04:15,885 --> 00:04:18,191
Hey, Tina. Here's theflour you asked for.

100
00:04:18,235 --> 00:04:19,802
I brought all I hadbecause I didn't know

101
00:04:19,845 --> 00:04:22,978
how many cupswere in a "crapload."

102
00:04:23,022 --> 00:04:24,937
Great. Did you alsobring the butter?

103
00:04:24,981 --> 00:04:26,591
No, sorry, I was out.

104
00:04:26,635 --> 00:04:29,986
Alexa, add a crapload of butterto my shopping list.

105
00:04:30,029 --> 00:04:31,944
ALEXA:I've added a crapload of butter

106
00:04:31,988 --> 00:04:33,990
to your shopping list.

107
00:04:35,078 --> 00:04:37,036
Did you program her to say that?

108
00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:39,474
No. She just gets me.

109
00:04:41,606 --> 00:04:43,521
So, what's with all the cookies?

110
00:04:43,565 --> 00:04:46,176
[sighs] Well,like an idiot, I volunteered

111
00:04:46,219 --> 00:04:48,961
to make 400 of themfor the church bake sale.

112
00:04:49,005 --> 00:04:51,224
400? That's crazy.Mm.

113
00:04:51,268 --> 00:04:54,010
I know, but Sister Thompsonmade 300 last year,

114
00:04:54,053 --> 00:04:56,317
and I thought embarrassingthat stuck-up old hag

115
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,406
would bethe Christian thing to do.

116
00:04:58,449 --> 00:05:00,016
[laughs]

117
00:05:00,059 --> 00:05:01,496
Well, if you need some help,

118
00:05:01,539 --> 00:05:03,628
I'd be happyto make some for you.

119
00:05:03,672 --> 00:05:05,543
Oh, really?Sure.

120
00:05:05,587 --> 00:05:07,023
I love to bake.

121
00:05:07,066 --> 00:05:08,503
You know, when Groverwas little, I used to...

122
00:05:08,546 --> 00:05:10,374
Yeah, yeah, yeah.Less chatter, more batter.

123
00:05:10,418 --> 00:05:12,028
Okay.

124
00:05:15,379 --> 00:05:16,772
[chuckles]

125
00:05:16,815 --> 00:05:20,384
What do you say, Dave?You looking level on your side?

126
00:05:20,428 --> 00:05:22,343
Not really.

127
00:05:22,386 --> 00:05:25,346
Ah, don't beat yourself up.Mine isn't, either.

128
00:05:25,389 --> 00:05:26,477
[chuckles]

129
00:05:26,521 --> 00:05:28,087
Hey, guys.

130
00:05:28,131 --> 00:05:30,002
Oh, look who's here.

131
00:05:30,046 --> 00:05:32,396
It's Marty, showing upcompletely on his own.

132
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,834
Right on time,but totally unplanned.

133
00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:38,489
Yeah, I just figured I'd drop byand see how you guys were doing.

134
00:05:38,533 --> 00:05:41,840
Oh, great. We're halfway donewith the floor.

135
00:05:41,884 --> 00:05:44,103
Yeah, uh, that's right, uh...

136
00:05:44,147 --> 00:05:46,671
I got to levelwith you,Marty, I can

137
00:05:46,715 --> 00:05:51,546
not evenbelievehow well it's going.

138
00:05:51,589 --> 00:05:53,678
Well, actually,from where I'm standing,

139
00:05:53,722 --> 00:05:55,680
i-it looks a little slanted.

140
00:05:55,724 --> 00:05:59,031
Oh.Eh, maybe.

141
00:05:59,075 --> 00:06:00,293
But trust me,it'll look straight

142
00:06:00,337 --> 00:06:02,165
when it's 12 feet in the air.

143
00:06:02,208 --> 00:06:04,254
So-so, when youget it up there,

144
00:06:04,297 --> 00:06:06,038
what are you gonna useto support it? Is--

145
00:06:06,082 --> 00:06:08,214
You gonna use bracesor a cantilever system?

146
00:06:08,258 --> 00:06:10,565
Oh, a cantilever system.You know what's crazy?

147
00:06:10,608 --> 00:06:14,046
Grover was justasking for one of those.

148
00:06:14,090 --> 00:06:15,613
No, man, don't worryabout that stuff.

149
00:06:15,657 --> 00:06:17,876
I got somethingway sturdier in mind.

150
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,617
Oh. W-What?

151
00:06:19,661 --> 00:06:21,402
I'm gonna nail it to that branch

152
00:06:21,445 --> 00:06:23,316
and then I'm-a tie abungee cord and run it

153
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,494
all the way over tothat telephone pole.

154
00:06:27,886 --> 00:06:30,541
Yeah, I got to say, Dad,from an engineering standpoint,

155
00:06:30,585 --> 00:06:32,717
that doesn't soundsuper safe to me.

156
00:06:32,761 --> 00:06:34,545
You're probably right.

157
00:06:34,589 --> 00:06:36,242
Two bungee cords it is.

158
00:06:36,286 --> 00:06:38,549
Yeah, uh, I don't know, Calvin.

159
00:06:38,593 --> 00:06:41,552
I-I think Marty is makingsome pretty good points.

160
00:06:41,596 --> 00:06:43,119
Yeah, speaking of points,

161
00:06:43,162 --> 00:06:46,252
maybe we should hammer downsome of these exposed nails.

162
00:06:46,296 --> 00:06:48,079
What are youtalking about?

163
00:06:48,124 --> 00:06:49,908
That's a built-insecurity system

164
00:06:49,952 --> 00:06:52,084
to keep the squirrels out.

165
00:06:52,868 --> 00:06:54,347
I don't know, Calvin, uh,

166
00:06:54,391 --> 00:06:57,133
I think I'm leaningtowards Marty's suggestion.

167
00:06:57,176 --> 00:06:59,483
It feels a little bitless tetanusy.

168
00:06:59,527 --> 00:07:02,617
All right, fine,we'll hammer in the nails.

169
00:07:02,660 --> 00:07:04,662
Good. Y-You know,

170
00:07:04,706 --> 00:07:06,490
the squirrels probablywon't even be a problem.

171
00:07:06,534 --> 00:07:08,927
I know. 'Cause I'm-aput barbed wire

172
00:07:08,971 --> 00:07:11,495
all around thisthing instead.

173
00:07:11,539 --> 00:07:13,236
Good idea, fellas.

174
00:07:16,152 --> 00:07:20,983
Alexa, set cookie timerfor 12 minutes.

175
00:07:21,026 --> 00:07:23,812
ALEXA:Cookie timer set for 12 minutes.

176
00:07:23,855 --> 00:07:26,118
Girl, you are such a big help.

177
00:07:26,162 --> 00:07:30,296
Now, if you could talk trashand drink wine, we could hang.

178
00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:32,821
Okay, here you go.

179
00:07:32,864 --> 00:07:35,084
100 vegan carob chip cookies.

180
00:07:35,127 --> 00:07:36,912
What?[laughs]I'm kidding.

181
00:07:36,954 --> 00:07:38,783
These are so unhealthy,

182
00:07:38,827 --> 00:07:42,308
there's a little heartattack in each one.

183
00:07:42,352 --> 00:07:46,356
Hey, Mom, did you hearthe bad news about Mr. Pickett?

184
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:48,489
Oh, he fell downthe stairs and-- Oh!

185
00:07:48,532 --> 00:07:50,228
Cookies.

186
00:07:52,405 --> 00:07:53,363
Mmm.

187
00:07:53,406 --> 00:07:54,799
Oh, my God.[laughs]

188
00:07:54,843 --> 00:07:57,759
Mom, these are the best cookiesyou ever made.

189
00:07:58,847 --> 00:08:00,239
Excuse me?

190
00:08:00,283 --> 00:08:02,241
I'm serious, Ma.

191
00:08:02,285 --> 00:08:03,678
I don't knowwhat you did different,

192
00:08:03,721 --> 00:08:06,158
but these right hereput all your other cookies

193
00:08:06,202 --> 00:08:07,290
to shame.

194
00:08:07,333 --> 00:08:09,118
[laughs] Mmm.

195
00:08:09,161 --> 00:08:11,990
Actually, I baked that batch.

196
00:08:12,034 --> 00:08:14,253
[clears throat]You say what now?

197
00:08:16,821 --> 00:08:20,695
Those are hers.

198
00:08:23,045 --> 00:08:25,438
You know what?[coughs]

199
00:08:25,482 --> 00:08:27,223
I spoke way too soon.

200
00:08:27,266 --> 00:08:29,007
Let me go aheadand try one of yours.

201
00:08:29,051 --> 00:08:33,185
Mmm, mmm, mmm.

202
00:08:33,228 --> 00:08:35,361
You see? I was wrong.

203
00:08:35,405 --> 00:08:37,668
I was wrong.These are way better.

204
00:08:37,712 --> 00:08:39,757
[laughs]

205
00:08:39,801 --> 00:08:41,541
Still Gemma's.

206
00:08:45,154 --> 00:08:46,634
You know what?

207
00:08:46,677 --> 00:08:49,462
Let me try one of these right...Just get out of here!

208
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:53,031
[thudding]

209
00:08:53,075 --> 00:08:55,207
[laughs]Look at that floor.

210
00:08:55,251 --> 00:08:56,861
Solid as a rock.

211
00:08:56,905 --> 00:08:59,516
I told you that dead branchwas strong enough to hold it.

212
00:09:00,517 --> 00:09:01,910
Yeah, uh,

213
00:09:01,953 --> 00:09:03,259
lucky for us you spotted it

214
00:09:03,302 --> 00:09:06,871
so very, very highup in the tree.

215
00:09:06,915 --> 00:09:09,700
Oh, know what we should do,

216
00:09:09,744 --> 00:09:12,094
is get a steel pipeand put it on the roof

217
00:09:12,137 --> 00:09:14,270
so Grover can fly a pirate flag.

218
00:09:14,313 --> 00:09:16,489
Oh, that's a great idea.

219
00:09:16,533 --> 00:09:18,056
No kid's wooden fortis complete

220
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:20,581
without a lightning rodattached to it.

221
00:09:20,624 --> 00:09:23,888
Now, you see a problem,I see free electricity.

222
00:09:23,932 --> 00:09:25,411
Yeah...

223
00:09:25,455 --> 00:09:27,979
You know, though, maybewe skip the flagpole.

224
00:09:28,023 --> 00:09:30,721
Yeah, Grover's not intopirates anymore anyway.

225
00:09:30,765 --> 00:09:32,114
Oh, that's too bad.

226
00:09:32,157 --> 00:09:33,855
I see at leastthree planks up there

227
00:09:33,898 --> 00:09:35,813
just beggingto be walked off.

228
00:09:37,989 --> 00:09:39,382
What's your deal, Marty?

229
00:09:39,425 --> 00:09:41,514
Why you keep criticizingeverything I do?

230
00:09:41,558 --> 00:09:43,908
Well, i-it's not about you, Dad.I'm just looking out for Grover.

231
00:09:43,952 --> 00:09:46,607
You know what?I-I like the sound of that.

232
00:09:46,650 --> 00:09:48,521
You know, Groverhas very delicate bones.

233
00:09:48,565 --> 00:09:52,177
He's... he's basicallylike a little baby bird.

234
00:09:53,309 --> 00:09:55,833
Eh, the only babyaround here is Marty.

235
00:09:55,877 --> 00:09:58,488
"Wah, the floor is uneven."

236
00:09:58,531 --> 00:10:01,578
"Wah, lightning's bad for you."

237
00:10:02,492 --> 00:10:04,450
I'm just trying to make it safe.

238
00:10:04,494 --> 00:10:07,628
No, what you're doingis trying to make it boring.

239
00:10:07,671 --> 00:10:10,065
Half the fun of a tree houseis taking some risk.

240
00:10:10,108 --> 00:10:12,110
A little sense of adventure.

241
00:10:12,154 --> 00:10:14,286
When did you become so soft?

242
00:10:15,113 --> 00:10:16,680
I'm not soft, Dad.

243
00:10:16,724 --> 00:10:18,508
I'm just trying to stopthis tree house from being

244
00:10:18,551 --> 00:10:20,684
an even bigger disasterthan the one you built us.

245
00:10:20,728 --> 00:10:23,078
What are you talking about?You loved that tree house.

246
00:10:23,121 --> 00:10:25,950
No, man, I hated it. That thingwas way too dangerous.

247
00:10:25,994 --> 00:10:29,214
Name one thing that wasdangerous about it.

248
00:10:29,258 --> 00:10:32,653
Dad, you built itover a barbecue pit.

249
00:10:35,220 --> 00:10:37,179
It's called heated floors.

250
00:10:38,397 --> 00:10:40,486
G-Guys, please stop arguing.

251
00:10:40,530 --> 00:10:42,445
Look, I'm not arguing,I'm just realizing

252
00:10:42,488 --> 00:10:44,490
how ungrateful my son is.

253
00:10:44,534 --> 00:10:46,318
Yeah, and I'm just realizinghow reckless

254
00:10:46,362 --> 00:10:48,103
and irresponsible my dad is.

255
00:10:48,146 --> 00:10:50,322
You know what, Marty, what-whatare you even doing here?

256
00:10:50,366 --> 00:10:52,063
Nobody invited you.Right, Dave?

257
00:10:52,107 --> 00:10:56,285
Yeah, totally uninvited, but atthe same time, very welcome.

258
00:10:58,026 --> 00:11:01,725
Yeah, fine, you guys don't wantmy help, I'm out of here.

259
00:11:01,769 --> 00:11:03,858
I was just trying to keepGrover safe.

260
00:11:03,901 --> 00:11:06,251
Well, you don't haveto worry about that,

261
00:11:06,295 --> 00:11:07,775
because when it comesto tree houses,

262
00:11:07,818 --> 00:11:09,733
nobody builds 'embetter than me.

263
00:11:09,777 --> 00:11:12,605
Oh!

264
00:11:12,649 --> 00:11:15,521
Boom. There's yourrope swing right there.

265
00:11:22,311 --> 00:11:24,574
[knock on door]

266
00:11:28,491 --> 00:11:30,623
Hey, Dave, what's up?

267
00:11:30,667 --> 00:11:32,625
And if you say the tree house,I will be shocked.

268
00:11:33,844 --> 00:11:36,673
I came over to apologizefor yesterday.

269
00:11:36,717 --> 00:11:38,283
The last thing I wantedwas to cause

270
00:11:38,327 --> 00:11:40,242
a fightbetween you and your dad.

271
00:11:40,285 --> 00:11:41,591
I mean, you didn'tstart that fight.

272
00:11:41,634 --> 00:11:43,593
He did when he called me soft.

273
00:11:43,636 --> 00:11:46,074
It's messed up.Yeah, I totally get it.

274
00:11:46,117 --> 00:11:49,773
I'd hate it if Calvinever thought I were soft.

275
00:11:53,734 --> 00:11:55,866
But come on, Marty,I need you to come back.

276
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:57,172
For Grover's sake.

277
00:11:57,215 --> 00:11:58,477
How bad is it?

278
00:11:58,521 --> 00:12:01,306
It is a nightmare.He's over there right now

279
00:12:01,350 --> 00:12:02,655
trying to get a diving board

280
00:12:02,699 --> 00:12:04,657
to reach the neighbors'swimming pool.

281
00:12:05,746 --> 00:12:08,749
Dave, I tried to help, man.You saw what happened.

282
00:12:08,792 --> 00:12:12,361
I know, and I should havebacked you up, but...

283
00:12:12,404 --> 00:12:13,754
but it's hard.

284
00:12:13,797 --> 00:12:15,320
Your dad's heart isin the right place,

285
00:12:15,364 --> 00:12:18,889
even though I'm pretty surehis support beams are not.

286
00:12:20,804 --> 00:12:22,023
Well,

287
00:12:22,066 --> 00:12:23,415
if you want me to come back,

288
00:12:23,459 --> 00:12:25,548
you're gonna have to make my daddo things my way.

289
00:12:25,591 --> 00:12:27,158
Absolutely. Look, Marty,

290
00:12:27,202 --> 00:12:29,770
from now on, you are in charge,no matter what.

291
00:12:29,813 --> 00:12:31,859
Okay, good. But we better getover there quick

292
00:12:31,902 --> 00:12:33,817
because the neighbors drainedthat pool two years ago.

293
00:12:33,861 --> 00:12:35,819
Oh...

294
00:12:40,171 --> 00:12:42,608
Hey. Okay for me to come in?

295
00:12:42,652 --> 00:12:44,088
Of course, Gemma,why wouldn't it be?

296
00:12:44,132 --> 00:12:46,656
I don't know,I was worried you might still be

297
00:12:46,699 --> 00:12:49,485
upset about that whole cookiething yesterday.

298
00:12:49,528 --> 00:12:52,357
Ah, please, they're justsilly cookies

299
00:12:52,401 --> 00:12:54,795
that I've baked for Malcolmhis whole life,

300
00:12:54,838 --> 00:12:59,060
ever since I squeezed his sorryass out of my damn body.

301
00:12:59,103 --> 00:13:00,626
I know, I'm sorry.

302
00:13:00,670 --> 00:13:02,803
No, no, it's not your fault.

303
00:13:02,846 --> 00:13:05,153
Malcolm was right,your cookies were delicious.

304
00:13:05,196 --> 00:13:06,415
Thanks.

305
00:13:06,458 --> 00:13:08,634
You're welcome. And besides,

306
00:13:08,678 --> 00:13:10,811
obviously it was just a fluke.

307
00:13:13,204 --> 00:13:14,815
What do you mean, a fluke?

308
00:13:14,858 --> 00:13:17,426
Oh, I'm sorry, Gemma,I didn't mean it like that.

309
00:13:17,469 --> 00:13:18,862
I'm just saying,everyone knows that

310
00:13:18,906 --> 00:13:21,343
my cookies eat yoursfor breakfast.

311
00:13:23,432 --> 00:13:25,390
Well, everyone might know,

312
00:13:25,434 --> 00:13:27,871
but clearly Malcolm doesn't.

313
00:13:30,526 --> 00:13:34,095
Okay, okay.

314
00:13:34,138 --> 00:13:37,272
Well, it sounds like there'sonly one way to settle this.

315
00:13:37,315 --> 00:13:38,534
You talking bake-off?

316
00:13:38,577 --> 00:13:41,493
Oh, you know it.Name your cookie.

317
00:13:41,537 --> 00:13:45,106
Shortbread?Snickerdoodle?

318
00:13:45,149 --> 00:13:49,458
If we're gonna do it,let's go all the way.

319
00:13:49,501 --> 00:13:51,242
You talking oatmeal?

320
00:13:51,286 --> 00:13:55,681
With raisins.

321
00:13:55,725 --> 00:13:59,685
Is there any other way?

322
00:13:59,729 --> 00:14:02,210
Actually, sometimes theyuse chocolate chips.

323
00:14:02,253 --> 00:14:04,560
Oh, that sounds yummy.Let's do that instead.Okay.

324
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,480
Hey, Dad.

325
00:14:11,523 --> 00:14:16,006
Oh, look who's back,the building inspector.

326
00:14:16,050 --> 00:14:19,009
Actually, Calvin,I asked Marty to come back.

327
00:14:19,053 --> 00:14:20,402
Why would you do that?

328
00:14:20,445 --> 00:14:22,665
Look, I know you're justtrying to make this place

329
00:14:22,708 --> 00:14:25,886
as much fun as possiblefor Grover, but...

330
00:14:25,929 --> 00:14:29,454
it would be nice if he wereactually alive to enjoy it.

331
00:14:29,498 --> 00:14:32,936
Seriously?You're taking his side?

332
00:14:32,980 --> 00:14:34,938
Look, Calvin,there are no sides.

333
00:14:34,982 --> 00:14:36,592
Yeah, like this placewhen somebody sneezes

334
00:14:36,635 --> 00:14:38,072
and the walls fall down.

335
00:14:39,073 --> 00:14:40,422
Know what? Fine.

336
00:14:40,465 --> 00:14:42,032
If neither of you thinkthat I can do this,

337
00:14:42,076 --> 00:14:42,990
then I'm out of here.

338
00:14:43,033 --> 00:14:47,037
But I'm taking my nail with me.

339
00:14:47,081 --> 00:14:50,040
[loud creaking]

340
00:14:50,084 --> 00:14:51,389
What was that?

341
00:14:51,433 --> 00:14:53,565
Oh, relax.It's just the floor

342
00:14:53,609 --> 00:14:54,915
settling onto the tree.

343
00:14:54,958 --> 00:14:57,047
Now it's even more rock-solid.

344
00:14:57,091 --> 00:14:59,571
[loud cracking]

345
00:15:01,922 --> 00:15:05,055
M-Maybe I should put this nailback where it, where it was.

346
00:15:05,099 --> 00:15:07,101
[all shout]

347
00:15:10,104 --> 00:15:11,061
Okay.

348
00:15:11,105 --> 00:15:12,062
I got to admit,

349
00:15:12,106 --> 00:15:13,890
now the floor isa little slanted.

350
00:15:17,285 --> 00:15:19,461
[knocking]

351
00:15:19,504 --> 00:15:21,942
Whoa. [clears throat]

352
00:15:23,073 --> 00:15:25,032
Hey, ladies...Enough small talk.

353
00:15:25,075 --> 00:15:27,121
We need you to settle a bet.Mm-hmm.

354
00:15:27,164 --> 00:15:29,427
Uh, what bet?

355
00:15:29,471 --> 00:15:31,429
We both bakedone of these cookies.

356
00:15:31,473 --> 00:15:32,778
All you have to dois taste them

357
00:15:32,822 --> 00:15:34,650
and tell us which oneyou like better.

358
00:15:34,693 --> 00:15:37,174
And God help youif you get it wrong.

359
00:15:38,001 --> 00:15:39,785
You know, actually,I am kind of busy right now.

360
00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:41,962
But you know who loves cookies?

361
00:15:42,005 --> 00:15:43,441
Marty. I'm gonna go find him.

362
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:45,617
Nice try, Malcolm.Yeah.

363
00:15:45,661 --> 00:15:48,142
Now be a man and eatyour milk and cookies!

364
00:15:50,361 --> 00:15:52,973
All right, fine.

365
00:15:57,238 --> 00:15:58,935
Mmm.

366
00:16:05,333 --> 00:16:06,508
So, which is better?

367
00:16:06,551 --> 00:16:07,988
Well...

368
00:16:08,031 --> 00:16:10,947
I hate to disappointeither of you, but...

369
00:16:10,991 --> 00:16:13,471
it's a tie-- everybody wins!

370
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:15,343
Malcolm!

371
00:16:15,386 --> 00:16:17,171
All right, Ma.

372
00:16:17,214 --> 00:16:19,042
If I had to choose,

373
00:16:19,086 --> 00:16:21,653
I pick this one.

374
00:16:22,176 --> 00:16:24,221
Boom! Hey!

375
00:16:24,265 --> 00:16:28,182
Somebody call Keebler and tell'em there's a new elf in town!

376
00:16:33,361 --> 00:16:35,189
Well, congratulations.

377
00:16:35,232 --> 00:16:38,235
I guess you were right,my cookies were just a fluke.

378
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:40,977
I'm sorry, Gemma,I never should've said that.

379
00:16:41,021 --> 00:16:43,675
I just overreactedbecause I'm Malcolm's mom.

380
00:16:43,719 --> 00:16:45,590
And, you know, every mama wants

381
00:16:45,634 --> 00:16:47,810
her baby to likeher cookies best.

382
00:16:47,853 --> 00:16:51,422
I get it, and I'm gladhe picked yours.

383
00:16:51,466 --> 00:16:52,902
Thank you.

384
00:16:52,945 --> 00:16:54,425
And thank you, Malcolm.

385
00:16:54,469 --> 00:16:56,993
Now I'm gonna go putyour baby pictures back up.

386
00:16:59,865 --> 00:17:03,347
Look, I'm sorry, Gemma.Your cookie was good, too.

387
00:17:03,391 --> 00:17:06,176
It just had a bit of, um,a strange aftertaste.

388
00:17:06,220 --> 00:17:09,614
I hope so. I put ina crapload of pickle juice.

389
00:17:10,485 --> 00:17:12,704
Pickle juice?Why would you put pickle juice

390
00:17:12,748 --> 00:17:14,184
in an oatmeal cookie?

391
00:17:14,228 --> 00:17:16,056
Because I'm a mama, too.

392
00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:18,361
Like your mom said,we all want our babies

393
00:17:18,406 --> 00:17:20,408
to like our cookies best.

394
00:17:20,451 --> 00:17:21,539
[chuckles]

395
00:17:21,582 --> 00:17:23,236
You're a good friend, Gemma.

396
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,153
Not that good. At first, I wasgoing to put it in her cookie.

397
00:17:28,242 --> 00:17:30,287
[tree house creaking]

398
00:17:31,114 --> 00:17:34,204
Okay, nobody move or this thingis gonna collapse.

399
00:17:34,248 --> 00:17:35,901
All right, now I knowhow this looks, but I built

400
00:17:35,945 --> 00:17:37,425
this thing for a coupleof little kids.

401
00:17:37,468 --> 00:17:39,122
Not three grown men.

402
00:17:39,949 --> 00:17:41,559
That being said,I probably could've used

403
00:17:41,603 --> 00:17:43,039
a few more bungee cords.

404
00:17:43,866 --> 00:17:46,390
Okay, so whatdo we do now?

405
00:17:46,434 --> 00:17:49,219
And if you're gonna saypee your pants, well...

406
00:17:49,263 --> 00:17:50,394
mission accomplished.

407
00:17:50,438 --> 00:17:52,353
Well, Marty,you're an engineer.

408
00:17:52,396 --> 00:17:54,964
If anybody can figure a wayto get us out of here, it's you.

409
00:17:55,007 --> 00:17:58,141
Okay, okay, okay, uh...all right, I-I think I got it.

410
00:17:58,185 --> 00:18:00,970
Um, if-if we coordinateour movements

411
00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:03,277
and redistributeour body weight, that should

412
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,757
counterbalance the flooruntil we can each get out.

413
00:18:05,801 --> 00:18:08,195
Great idea.And may I say,

414
00:18:08,238 --> 00:18:10,153
as a professionalconflict mediator,

415
00:18:10,197 --> 00:18:12,938
an excellent team-buildingexercise.

416
00:18:12,982 --> 00:18:16,072
You know...Okay, all right.

417
00:18:16,116 --> 00:18:17,334
You might want to hurrythis thing up.

418
00:18:17,378 --> 00:18:18,727
This tree is getting sickof Dave, too.

419
00:18:18,770 --> 00:18:20,903
Okay... okay, Dave?

420
00:18:20,946 --> 00:18:23,384
You're closest to the door.I'm gonna slide two steps

421
00:18:23,427 --> 00:18:25,603
to the left, Dad, you taketwo steps to the right.

422
00:18:25,647 --> 00:18:27,518
That should balance the floor.

423
00:18:27,562 --> 00:18:29,085
Ready?

424
00:18:29,129 --> 00:18:31,696
Go!

425
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:33,829
All right.

426
00:18:33,872 --> 00:18:36,353
Okay, all right,Dave, you climb out.

427
00:18:36,397 --> 00:18:39,051
Dad, as soon as he does,you take another step

428
00:18:39,095 --> 00:18:41,228
to the left.I'm gonna take two steps back.

429
00:18:41,271 --> 00:18:44,796
Oh, so this is like the ElectricSlide meets the Cupid Shuffle.

430
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,798
No, Dad, Dad, no!

431
00:18:46,842 --> 00:18:48,409
Oh, my God.[stammers]

432
00:18:48,452 --> 00:18:49,888
Oh, oh, ooh!

433
00:18:49,932 --> 00:18:52,674
That-That-That's on meright there.

434
00:18:53,675 --> 00:18:55,416
Okay, Dave, go!

435
00:18:55,459 --> 00:18:56,808
Okay.

436
00:18:56,852 --> 00:18:59,071
And for the record,there are

437
00:18:59,115 --> 00:19:01,073
no two men that I'd rather betrapped in a tree house

438
00:19:01,117 --> 00:19:03,337
with than the two of you!Get out of here!

439
00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:09,517
Okay, Dad.

440
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,822
It's your turn.

441
00:19:10,866 --> 00:19:12,084
No, son, you go.

442
00:19:12,128 --> 00:19:13,782
All right, this is my fault.

443
00:19:13,825 --> 00:19:15,218
If I had listenedto your suggestions,

444
00:19:15,262 --> 00:19:17,481
we wouldn't be herein the first place.

445
00:19:17,525 --> 00:19:19,048
I just got carried away.

446
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:22,312
It's okay, man. You werejust trying to make it fun.

447
00:19:22,356 --> 00:19:24,445
The same way you didwhen you built ours.

448
00:19:24,488 --> 00:19:25,750
Thanks.

449
00:19:25,794 --> 00:19:27,796
And I shouldn't havecalled you soft,

450
00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:29,406
because you're not.

451
00:19:29,450 --> 00:19:31,234
You mean that?

452
00:19:31,278 --> 00:19:32,931
Yeah. I mean,

453
00:19:32,975 --> 00:19:34,716
the way you kept your cooland figured out

454
00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:36,631
a way to get us out of here,

455
00:19:36,674 --> 00:19:38,285
there's nothing soft about that.

456
00:19:39,373 --> 00:19:40,591
Thanks, Dad.

457
00:19:40,635 --> 00:19:42,811
Bring it in, son.

458
00:19:43,899 --> 00:19:45,466
All right, whoa,whoa, whoa, okay.

459
00:19:45,509 --> 00:19:47,729

Okay, okay, Dad, I'm going.

461
00:19:55,911 --> 00:19:57,739
I'll see youon the ground.

462
00:19:57,782 --> 00:19:59,958
One way or the other.

Damn.

465
00:20:09,664 --> 00:20:12,362
Why did I let Dave go first?

466
00:20:19,717 --> 00:20:22,459
You were right, this is a muchbetter idea than the one I had.

467
00:20:22,503 --> 00:20:24,548
True. Although I would'veloved to see my dad try

468
00:20:24,592 --> 00:20:26,985
to Mary Poppins his way downwith your beach umbrella.

469
00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:29,336

When's that umbrella coming?

472
00:20:33,818 --> 00:20:35,429
Okay... change of plans.
