- I call this dance move
"Swiping through pics on your phone."
So many selfies.
- Ooh, I've got a dance.
I call this "waving to your neighbor."
Hey, Jerry! Lawn's looking good!
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
- Ooh, great dance, Lex.
- Yeah, I love your "getting attacked by bees" move.
both: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
- Hey, stop it!
I'm not pretending to be attacked by bees.
- Then why are you interrupting our making up dances game?
Which I was winning, by the way.
- I didn't know it was a contest.
- That's why you're losing.
- Listen, I accidentally
broke my little brother's remote control monster truck
and I haven't told him about it yet.
- Okay, which brother are we talking about?
Sam? He's the biter.
- Mm. Or Casey. I like that kid.
Always eating pasta.
- It was Rex.
He loves that remote control truck.
He calls it Truck Norris and built a bed for it
so he can tuck it in at night.
- I'm sure he'll understand. Rex is super sweet.
- Yeah, he sends me a birthday card every year.
He always puts in a coupon for a hug.
- You haven't seen the other side of him.
When he feels wronged, he overreacts.
One time, at the zoo, he got mad
because the lions were asleep.
He tore the gift shop apart.
There were stuffed lion heads everywhere.
- I heard about that on the news.
That was birthday card Rex?
- It was.
Our family is no longer welcome at the zoo.
- May I have everyone's attention?
Fisher has a question for Munchy.
- You forgot the bop-bah-dee-bop, bop, bop!
- Sorry, sir. Bop-bah-dee-bop, bop, bop!
- Something new I'm trying when I enter rooms.
What did you think, Lex?
- I wasn't a fan.
- I feel the same about you.
- Munchy, can you help Horrigan and me with an experiment?
- I love science! Can I help Fisher?
Please, please, please, please?
- Go have fun.
- Wear sunscreen if you go outside.
- Yes!
- Come on, Lex, let's go tell your brother
that you broke his truck.
You'll see that it's not a big deal.
- Maybe you're right.
The zoo incident was a few years ago.
- Hey, let's make up a dance on the way--
the "Going to Lex's house to apologize
to her brother, Rex, dance."
[upbeat music]
♪ ♪
- Hey, that was my house!
[kids shouting]
- Wow, your brother Casey really is always eating pasta.
He gave me some fettuccine.
- Yeah, that's a problem.
And speaking of problems, let me show you Rex's truck.
- Uh, I'm sure it's not as bad as you think.
Whoa, what did you do?!
- Wh--I was on my pogo stick.
And you how I get when I'm in the pogo zone.
I must have bounced on the truck six or seven times
before I even noticed.
[kids screaming]
- You wanted to talk to me, Lex?
Oh, hey, Presley. What's up, El Pres-idente?
- Hey, Rexaroni!
- So what does my favorite sister want?
If the answer is quality Rex time, you're in luck.
- Funny story.
You know how I get into the pogo zone?
- Of course-- it's one of the top five
favorite things I love about you.
- Well, I was pogo-ing and accidentally landed
on your remote-control monster truck repeatedly.
I'm really sorry.
- I see.
- Where are you going?
- Nowhere.
And neither are you.
- So why am I holding up this apple?
And why am I not allowed to eat it?
- It's very simple.
I spent months working on this formula
that's gonna change the world.
I applied the formula to this machine,
which is gonna shoot a beam at that apple
and change its DNA to transform it
into something totally different.
- Like a bigger apple?
- No.
Whatever this beam hits will change
into a completely different organism.
It might become a cricket or a ladybug or a butter--
- Or a bicycle?
- A bicycle is not an organism.
Why is the volunteer speaking?
- Be nice, Morgan.
We're about to shoot an 800-degree laser
a few inches from his head.
- Wait, what? - Relax.
There's nothing to worry about.
Protective face shields down!
[device humming]
- Um, I'm getting a little nervous.
- Don't worry. I built this machine myself.
It just needs a couple tweaks.
- Why are Rex's eyes on fire?
- I told you, he gets like this.
It's the zoo gift shop all over again.
- I can't believe you destroyed Truck Norris!
I am one of nine kids.
That was my first toy that wasn't a hand me down!
- All right, you're kind of getting intense here, Rexaroni.
- The time for cute nicknames is over.
Now is the time for justice!
- Relax. We'll just get you another one.
- Okay, but if you can't find one,
then I get to choose something that Lex loves--
and break it.
- Deal. - What!
- It is done. - Hey!
- It's the only way I'll feel like I'm getting justice.
And Rex needs justice!
- Fine!
- All right.
Now I've just got to find the perfect thing to destroy.
Your gymnastics trophy?
Nope, you didn't flinch. Not worth it.
Ooh, how about the hourglass you made?
I think we found a winner!
- But that's full of sand
from the first sand castle Lex and I ever made.
- Yeah, you can't smash that!
I mean, whatever. It's dumb.
- Too late. This is it.
- Okay, hold on.
We'll just go online and buy you
another remote-control truck.
- Here's the thing--
and I probably should have mentioned this earlier--
there's only one place in the world to get it:
Shady Pete's Carnival.
- [gasps]
Shady Pete's Carnival is the shadiest place in town!
- It has all those games that are really hard to win.
- They're not hard, they're impossible!
- Not my problem. You have--
wait, how long does this hourglass last?
- Four hours. - You have four hours!
- ♪ I got, you got me ♪
♪ We got this ♪
♪ I like the odds when we're side-by-side ♪
♪ I like the sound of that ♪
♪ Oh, we're taking off, gonna do this right ♪

- Wow. Shady Pete's. So many shady memories.
- It's Rex's truck!
We have to figure out how to win it.
- Kay, but we'd better be on guard.
These carnival games are designed to rip you off.
Uh, I mean their sign says, "Welcome suckers!"
- We just have to hurry.
We only have 3 1/2 hours until Rex breaks our hourglass.
- This guy's probably going to be super shady.
We'd better be careful.
[bell dings]
- Oh, hello and welcome!
Thanks for choosing Shady Pete's.
How can I help you today?
- Wow, you are not what I expected.
Where's Shady Pete?
- Shady Pete's my dad. I'm just Pete!
I took over, and I've been trying
to make this place less shady.
Except for the shade under the new trees I planted.
- Well, Pete, we're here to win
that remote control monster truck.
- Ah, Truck Norris! Let's make it happen.
All you need to do is beat the Shady Ladder.
I was gonna rename it, but signs cost a lot.
Now, to win, just climb the ladder and ring the bell.
But you gotta be careful. It's a little tricky.
But you girls look smart. I'm sure you can figure it out.
- I'll take one ticket please.
- Great! Tickets are $5.
Aw, hate to charge ya,
but saving up for that new sign.
- And that should do it. Okay. Let's try this again.
Thanks to my breakthrough scientific formula,
that apple's about to be transformed
into a completely different organism.
What will it be? Only science will tell.
- I'm elated, sir.
- And we're positive this is safe, right?
'Cause I'm really-- - Here we go!
[device humming]
Oh, no.
We used too much power and blew a fuse.
I'll go down to the basement and reset the breaker.
- I'm coming with you.
My small hands might come in handy.
- What am I supposed to do? - Keep holding that apple.
You're doing great.
- You're doing fine.
- Man, who knew laser cannons could get so hot?
Let's get some air in here.
Oh, no! Fisher's formula! I'm coming for you, formula!
- Power's back on.
- Hey, look, a butterfly.
But where did Munchy go?
- That's strange.
His jacket is here, and so is that apple he was holding.
Oh, no!
My machine must have worked,
but instead of zapping the apple into something else,
it zapped Munchy into something else!
I turned Munchy into a butterfly!
- I think it's an upgrade, sir.
- Time to win Truck Norris and save our sand.
- Go, Lex!
[Lex yelps] And you've already fallen off.
You were supposed to ring the bell.
- Yes, I know.
I'm not giving up.
[upbeat rock music]
Ow! Ah!
Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah!
I fell. - I saw.
- So sorry.
If it was up to me, I'd give you the monster truck.
But unfortunately, you have to ring that bell.
- What're we gonna do?
- I'm gonna call my brother. Maybe he's calmed down.
Hey, Rex. How ya feelin'?
- My rage has grown!
- Well, how about we gave you something
besides that monster truck,
something even better, like--
uh, Presley's phone?
- We made a deal.
It's gotta be Truck Norris,
or I destroy your hourglass.
The clock is ticking.
Well, I mean, it's not actually ticking,
it's sand and--whatever! You know what I mean!
- Another ticket, please.
You're right. Better make it ten.
[kids screaming]
- What's going on?
- Oh, I'm laying down a tarp so that sand doesn't go everywhere
when I destroy your hourglass.
I want revenge, but I'm not a monster.
- That's very considerate.
- Wait, what're you doing here?
You still have a little time to get my truck.
- Ah, it's no use. That ladder is impossible.
Just break my hourglass now.
- Okay. I'll make it quick.
[panting]
Yah-stah!
- No!
[kids screaming]
- Hey! I'm trying to sledge here!
- We still have time left, and we're gonna use it.
I have an idea on how to beat the ladder.
- It's too hard.
- When has that ever stopped us?
Remember the first time we went to the beach?
We built a sand castle,
and the waves came and destroyed it.
Did we move back to where the waves wouldn't reach us?
- Well, I-I wanted to, but you wouldn't let me do--
- No!
We built it in the same spot.
And the waves came and destroyed
our sand castle again.
And we did that over and over.
And that last sand castle that we built
is still standing there to this day.
- That was years ago. There's no way it's still--
- Exactly.
And the sand in that hourglass is from the beach that day.
It's a reminder that we should never give up.
- You know what? You're right. And good speech.
- Thank you. I practiced it on the way here.
Now, I have everything set up in the driveway
to turn you into a ladder-climbing machine.
- All right. But uh, don't eat too much.
Because when that sand is gone,
I am serving up a big plate of justice!

Have a seat.

My son was goofing around with science,

Everything is still spinning.

- Stop proving your point!
- Oh, look at the time. It's 4:23. That's closing time.
- Not so fast.
So every time we tried to climb that ladder,
you pressed this button to make us fall?
- No. Not every time.
