00:01Everybody up!
00:08I'm going to be before work!
00:13I am taking breakfast off the table in five minutes!
00:20I know this kid. His mom wakes him up with a kiss on the forehead.
00:24Yes, no, maybe. I don't know. Can you repeat the question?
00:35You're not the boss of me now. You're not the boss of me now.
00:41You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big.
00:47You're not the boss of me now. You're not the boss of me now.
00:53You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big.
00:58Life is unfair.
01:02Okay. I've been up for half an hour. I've had my cereal.
01:14It's time for Mom to ask the same annoying question she asks me every morning.
01:18So, Malcolm, what are you doing in your genius class today?
01:22Nothing. It's just as dumb and boring as being in regular class, except now I get ostracized.
01:28Ostracized? Oh, you're learning such big words.
01:31Hey, they want to know what I think about caller ID blocking.
01:36Do I think about that?
01:40What? Nothing. Just sharp cheerios.
01:45Ha! $210! Look at all the calls that Francis is charging to us.
01:5560 minutes. Ooh! Ooh! 80 minutes!
01:59And every one of these calls is to Bebe.
02:02$210 on Bebe!
02:05I know. Now, honey, just try to understand, all right?
02:08He's off in Alabama. He's all by himself at military school.
02:13He's lonely, so he calls his little girlfriend.
02:16She's a tramp.
02:17No one's saying she's not a tramp.
02:19I thought you changed our code number.
02:21I have. Three times a...
02:23I don't know how he's getting it.
02:2565519.
02:29That'll be good till the bill comes on the 15th.
02:32Oh, thanks, man. You are a good brother.
02:37I was taking money out of her wallet anyway.
02:40He is doing this just to upset me.
02:44Oh, come on, Lois. He's 16 and thinks he's in love.
02:48What are you gonna do?
02:52Oh, man. Never ask her that.
02:55Bebe, you can't imagine how much I miss you.
02:58It is like a white, hot fire burning in my chest.
03:03The only thing that keeps me going is just the thought of holding you
03:06and stroking your hair and being with you in a perfect golden moment.
03:12I am totally the same way.
03:15I'm just so...
03:19Are you watching Buffy?
03:21I can do both.
03:23You know, I think of things too, like...
03:27No, it's too embarrassing.
03:30Tell me.
03:31It's not the kind of thing you can say over the phone.
03:35It's something I'd have to show you.
03:39Baby, I think it would be better if you told me and then you showed me.
03:45Stanley, what are you doing?
03:47That was Bebe!
03:53Sorry, man.
03:55Commandant says your phone privileges have been revoked for a month.
03:58Your mom complained about the bills.
04:00Okay, let me just tell her...
04:02Francis, do you remember the thumb thing?
04:06The one you did to my thumb or the one you did with your thumb?
04:11Hello?
04:12Malcolm!
04:13Thank God!
04:14Look, I don't have any more quarters to just listen.
04:16I need you to swipe mom's credit card and I need you to buy me a cell phone.
04:18You know, what you want to get is the unlimited off-peak plan and then FedEx it to me...
04:20Francis, no!
04:21I can't do that!
04:22What?!
04:23Dude!
04:24Don't bail on me!
04:25I'm sorry, but mom is totally on the warpath about the phone calls.
04:26Her radar's up.
04:27I can't do anything.
04:28Seriously, you just gotta find a way to live without calm being.
04:29I need you to swipe mom's credit card.
04:30I need you to swipe mom's credit card and I need you to buy me a cell phone.
04:31You know, what you want to get is the unlimited off-peak plan and then FedEx it to me...
04:34Francis, no!
04:35I can't do that!
04:36What?!
04:37Dude!
04:38Don't bail on me!
04:39I'm sorry, but mom is totally on the warpath about the phone calls.
04:44Her radar's up.
04:45I can't do anything.
04:47Seriously, you just gotta find a way to live without calm being.
04:54I'll live without calm BB all the time.
05:00Hello?
05:03Hello?
05:08He understands, right?
05:15Dearest BB, something wonderful has happened.
05:19The pain and confusion of the last few months has disappeared,
05:23It's been replaced by a single glorious purpose.
05:33From the ashes of the old Francis rises a new man, filled with boldness and determination.
05:40I fly to you on angels' wings, knowing I follow the mandate of my heart.
05:54Every night for the past two weeks, he thinks there's a monster under the bed. It seemed so funny when we thought of it.
06:04Oh, sweetie, not again.
06:05The monster! It tried to suck my brain out.
06:14Alright, I have had it. You two are banned from Nintendo.
06:16Okay, we're already banned from Nintendo. The sad thing is, he thinks you just outsmarted her.
06:24Alright, fine. Pillows. What?
06:26That's right, I'm taking your pillows. Come on, come on, hand them over.
06:30And I'm not getting up again. If that monster wants to suck out your brain, you just let him take it and you go back to sleep.
06:40I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love...
07:10I don't know.
07:40Hello?
07:53Don't scream, it's me.
07:59Fuck!
08:00Ah!
08:01Francis!
08:02Way to go, dipwad.
08:04You got me in the nards.
08:06Francis, what are you doing here?
08:13I'm taking control of my own destiny.
08:16I'm just here to pick up BB and then we're gonna head off for Canada.
08:19You're gonna visit Grandma?
08:21No, a different part of Canada.
08:24Someplace wild where people don't have to destroy love just because they don't understand it.
08:30You just ran away from school?
08:33Mom's really gonna kill you now.
08:35No, she won't because she won't know.
08:38Malcolm, you can't tell anybody.
08:41I'm placing my life in your hands here.
08:43Did you roll around in something?
08:46You'll get used to it.
08:48Look, I need you to get BB to come see me tonight, okay?
08:51Give her this.
08:52Let it air out for a while first.
08:55Try to get me some food because I haven't eaten in like 36 hours.
08:59Francis, this sounds kinda drastic.
09:02Even for you.
09:03Malcolm, I do not have time for doubt.
09:06The die has been cast, my future is set.
09:09Now there's one question in my mind.
09:12Can I trust you?
09:13But...
09:14Can I trust you?
09:18Yes.
09:19Yeah, definitely.
09:23I'll toss my lunch bag over the fence before school.
09:29Oh!
09:31Oh!
09:36Mmm!
09:39Can I have some?
10:00Yes.
10:01It's a...
10:03prescription?
10:05Sandwich.
10:06Prescription sandwich?
10:07Stevie, that's not even a good lie.
10:09If you don't want to share, just say so.
10:12Don't want...
10:14to share?
10:17Let's play...
10:19Ironside.
10:20Hobby...
10:22Ironside.
10:23I don't want to play stupid Ironside.
10:26What's your...
10:27problem?
10:29It's my brother Francis.
10:30He escaped from military school and hitchhiked all the way here.
10:34And he's all scraped up and smelly and hungry and dirty.
10:38And now he's hiding out at the creek.
10:40And my parents catch him, he's dead.
10:43He's talking like he's crazy.
10:45I don't know what to do.
10:50Squeal.
10:52What?
10:54Squeal.
10:56We're at him out.
10:58I can't do that.
10:59He's my brother.
11:01I promised him.
11:02I can't tell anyone.
11:04You told...
11:06me?
11:08Yeah, but by the time you tell anyone, he'll be a thousand miles from here.
11:12Too...
11:14Shady.
11:15Bebe?
11:16What?
11:17Oh, you're, uh, that kid.
11:19My name's Malcolm.
11:20I'm Francis' brother.
11:21He met me, like, ten times.
11:23Yeah, you're the freaky little brain, right?
11:25Just be cool.
11:27What do you want?
11:29Here.
11:31Francis is back home.
11:33Well, I'm back home.
11:35I'm back home.
11:36I'm back home.
11:37I'm back home.
11:38I'm back home.
11:39I'm back home.
11:40I'm back home.
11:41I'm back home.
11:42I'm back home.
11:43I'm back home.
11:44I'm back home.
11:45I'm back home.
11:46Well, he's not home.
11:47He's hiding.
11:48Huh.
11:49Three pages?
11:51Both sides.
11:53He loves to make me read.
11:56What's that word?
11:58Consummate.
12:01It means he likes you.
12:02Oh.
12:09Assignation?
12:10Rendezvous?
12:11Trist?
12:12How the hell is anyone supposed to know what he's talking about?
12:15Baby, just meet him at the creek at 7.30, okay?
12:18See?
12:19You can say it in English and you're, like, ten.
12:24What are you doing?
12:25I'm wearing a tank top.
12:27Baby, I don't...
12:28Don't think.
12:29Just walk.
12:30Go.
12:31The worst part is, I think I'm stealing panty liners.
12:50Gosh, I had such a good day at work today.
12:52I got to work the cash-only line for the first time in a month and my register came out to the penny.
12:59Plus, that creepy new assistant manager sliced his hand open with a box cutter, spent the whole afternoon in the emergency room.
13:06There's him.
13:07I mean, this chicken is absolutely delicious.
13:09Oh, well, it's a little recipe I came up with.
13:12It's shake and bake.
13:13But for pork.
13:14How about that?
13:15That's one for the recipe box.
13:16Let's call it, uh, chork.
13:17All in favor?
13:18I'll call it for pickin'.
13:19Chork it is!
13:20Grandma.
13:21Oh, cut it out.
13:22You big talker.
13:46Will this make me taste better to the monsters?
13:51Sure, Wilson.
13:56Get out of here!
13:57You're not eating it.
13:58You've had a bite in two minutes.
13:59I counted.
14:00I'm saving it.
14:01There is no saving.
14:03Malcolm, he's right.
14:05The rule is...
14:06No saving.
14:09Oh, yeah, I care.
14:11Cut it out!
14:12Come on!
14:13Come on, it's mine!
14:14Get out of here!
14:15No!
14:16Boys, boys, stop it.
14:17You're gonna get your mother out of the...
14:19You're gonna ruin her a nice day.
14:21Francis did what?!
14:29Another night in the chat room.
14:36That kid!
14:37That kid!
14:38He thinks he could just run away from school
14:40like some kind of escaped convict?
14:43Look, he thinks he could just vanish in the night
14:45and I won't find him.
14:46But he is sadly mistaken.
14:48Lois, you just calm down.
14:50There's nothing we can do right now.
14:52Yes, there is.
14:53I can call the police.
14:55No, they're not gonna look for anybody
14:57unless they've been missing for 38 hours.
14:59Not if I say he has drugs on him.
15:01Lois!
15:02Stop it.
15:03Now, you're just gonna have to accept the fact
15:06that for now this is beyond your control.
15:08God!
15:09Francis is gonna have to sink or swim on his own.
15:11And frankly, I don't think that's such a bad thing.
15:13In the meantime, we just have to leave it up to fate.
15:18Oh, fate.
15:21Fate is just what you call it when you don't know
15:23the name of the person screwing you over.
15:32Mom, I'm sure he's okay.
15:35Uh-oh.
15:38Tactical error.
15:40Why do you think he's okay, son?
15:43Because he's always okay.
15:49Welcome.
15:50This is a very serious situation here.
15:54And I know you love Francis as much as we do,
15:57so if you have any idea of your...
16:00Oh, for God's sake, where is he?
16:02Hey!
16:03He came here to see Bebe.
16:04He's meeting her tonight.
16:05Oh, my God.
16:06How'd she do that?
16:07I knew it.
16:08When did you talk to him?
16:10Don't look at her eyes.
16:11Don't look at her...
16:12This morning.
16:13And...
16:14And Dewey shoved a sandwich in the VCR.
16:16Malcolm, where is he?
16:18You gotta think...
16:20Diversion.
16:21Delancey.
16:22Delancey Park.
16:23He's meeting her at Delancey Park.
16:24By the soccer field.
16:29Well...
16:32We'll just see what fate has in store for Francis.
16:49Francis, I have to tell you...
16:51Is Bebe coming?
16:52Yeah.
16:53But I have to tell you something first.
16:57I rented you out to Mom.
16:59What?
17:00I didn't mean to.
17:02Mom did her eyes and her voice.
17:05It was...
17:06I didn't mean to.
17:07Malcolm, how could you do that?
17:09I trusted you.
17:10I know.
17:11I'm sorry.
17:13Look, I sent her to the park.
17:16You've got an hour to get out of here and have a head start before...
17:19Are you crazy?
17:20I can't go anywhere.
17:21Bebe's coming.
17:22Bebe.
17:23Bebe.
17:24Francis, what's wrong with you?
17:27Why are you getting in so much trouble for her?
17:30I don't understand.
17:31Duh!
17:32No one understands.
17:34She's not nice.
17:35She's not smart.
17:36She's a thief.
17:37She's not even that good looking.
17:39And oh, guess what else?
17:41She treats you like crap.
17:42I know.
17:43You do?
17:44Of course I do.
17:45There's something you don't know about Bebe.
17:48What?
17:49That no one, in her whole life, has ever loved her the way that I do.
17:53All she has to do is see that and everything will change.
17:55I really thought he had something better.
17:57Look, Malcolm, you'll understand when you're older and I'll just tell you that.
18:00What are you doing?
18:01Nothing.
18:02Mind your own business.
18:03Who are you talking to?
18:04I wasn't talking to anybody.
18:05You're imagining it.
18:06I didn't understand.
18:07I'd rather get that.
18:08I know what I'm doing.
18:09I'd rather have loved her the way that I do.
18:10All she has to do is see that and everything will change.
18:11I really thought he had something better.
18:12Look, Malcolm, you'll understand when you're older and I'll just go.
18:20What are you doing?
18:21Nothing.
18:22Mind your own business.
18:25Who are you talking to?
18:27I wasn't talking to anybody.
18:29I heard you talking.
18:34Okay, I'll tell you.
18:37But you have to keep it a secret.
18:40You know the monster under your bed?
18:43It's called the Sasquatch.
18:45He hunts back there during the day.
18:48I was throwing him some raw meat, so he wouldn't come get us tonight.
18:52I don't think I gave him enough.
18:53So if I were you, I'd keep very quiet
18:57and stay the hell out of there.
18:59Get it?
19:20Boom!
19:27Francis?
19:37Bebe?
19:38Francis?
19:39Oh, don't move.
19:41I want to remember this forever.
19:44Where are you?
19:45No!
19:46Don't look at me.
19:47I wanted so much to be perfect for you,
19:50but I couldn't find any soap.
19:53I'm hideous.
19:55Really?
19:56Yes.
19:57But it's okay.
20:00Everything is okay now that we're together.
20:03I can't tell you how beautiful you look at this moment.
20:06You look like an angel or a perfect dawn or a galaxy of stars.
20:12I don't think we should see each other anymore.
20:18And my heart soars when I think of the two of us together.
20:21Did you hear what I said?
20:24I, um, what?
20:30Look, you're a nice guy, and all those letters you sent,
20:34the stuff I understood anyway was sweet,
20:37but I don't know.
20:40It feels different now.
20:43It's hard to explain.
20:45Would you try?
20:47Well, maybe I just like the long-distance thing
20:50because, you know, you'd call and you'd talk
20:53and you'd make me feel so good about myself
20:56and I didn't have to do anything.
20:59Yeah, that's it.
21:02Baby, please.
21:04I just think it's better we end it now
21:06before anybody gets hurt.
21:07I'm sorry, Frances.
21:11I'm sorry, Frances.
21:19Ow.
21:22Ow.
21:25Ow.
21:26Ow.
21:28Ow.
21:29Ow!
21:41Get out of here, you stupid dumb monster!
21:46This is my house!
21:48Go away!
21:50Don't leave me alone!
21:59You! You there!
22:08What do you think you're doing?
22:10Excuse me?
22:11You know how dumb and careless you're being.
22:14Well, I brought-
22:16Oh, for goodness sake, I'm not talking about that.
22:18But shame on you.
22:20Don't you know how this is all gonna end?
22:22Do we know you?
22:24No, but I know you.
22:26You're young and pretty, and you love to get 16-year-old boys so twisted up they don't know what they're doing.
22:32And you think it's all in front and you move on.
22:34You don't care how bad you hurt them.
22:36Let me tell you something, young lady.
22:38Hearts are precious things.
22:40You should be careful with them.
22:47You!
22:48You there!
22:49What do you think you're doing?
22:51And then the monster started growling at me, so I threw rocks at him, and I killed him.
22:56And then he started flying around on rocket boots, and I got to right inside his head.
23:00And now, the monster's my friend, and we went to get snorpees.
23:04You did not! You're just lying!
23:06Rhys, if that's what Dewey says happened, there's no reason to argue about it.
23:10No one believes I beat the lost level of Mortal Kombat.
23:14Because that's just ridiculous. No one beats Sub-Zero.
23:17Leave it off.
23:27So, B.B. broke up with me.
23:33Oh.
23:35You okay?
23:37I think I'm fine.
23:39There's this strange sense of peace that comes over you when you give up that last shred of dignity.
23:45It's nice.
23:49I'm really sorry.
23:51Well, if you're gonna love women, you have to expect the occasional flaming wipeout.
23:58It's in the fine print, but you agree to it when you sign up.
24:03So what are you gonna do?
24:05I'm gonna go back to school.
24:07I missed a day, so it shouldn't be too bad.
24:10There's a pack of farm girls that hang around outside the fence.
24:14Probably check that out.
24:17Later days.
24:19Wait.
24:20I'm sorry I ratted you out.
24:23I just got scared.
24:24Dude, it's ancient history.
24:26Don't worry about it.
24:27Well, can't you at least hit me or something?
24:30Just so I feel like we're even?
24:32You want me to hit you?
24:34I don't know.
24:36Yeah.
24:38Okay.
24:44Thanks.
24:45Psych.
24:46Ow!
24:47No, or even...
24:48Ow!
24:56Ow!
25:00Don't cry.
25:03Drive those tears falling out of your eyes.
25:10Don't cry.
