00:00Wait for it, wait for it, that's great.
00:22Oh man.
00:24What's wrong, Reese?
00:25Nothing, just shut up and go to sleep, okay?
00:30It's good to be alive.
01:00You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big.
01:07Life is unfair.
01:10Hey, Dewey! Wake up! It's Monday morning!
01:20Hooray!
01:22I never thought I'd be happy about a Monday, but today's the end of two months of being grounded. Two months!
01:32What are you doing?
01:33Shut up. I have to finish my history homework.
01:36Reese, we couldn't do anything all weekend. No friends, no TV. We did absolutely nothing. And you still managed not to do your homework?
01:46Hey, the point is, we never should have been grounded in the first place.
01:51He is right. Mom went way overboard. We didn't even do anything that bad.
01:57Okay, so if we give you Dewey's bike, Circus will eat a wet dog food sandwich.
02:04Right.
02:06Sounds good?
02:07Okay then.
02:08Wait a minute. I don't want you ripping off my little brothers. You only get the bike if he eats the whole camp.
02:16I am. Done.
02:22You the man, Circus. You the man.
02:33This is worth it. Whatcha gonna tell Mom?
02:37The guy pushed him off. Took the bike. And then just ran off.
02:57How'd you know we were lying? We were brilliant.
03:01How's Mom?
03:08She's got a temperature of 104. I've never seen her this sick.
03:13It's like some sort of horrible science experiment in there.
03:17Mom's been sick with the flu all weekend.
03:20I feel more sympathetic, but two months with no TV has killed a part of me that cares.
03:25I finally figured out how Mom could tell we were lying.
03:30How?
03:32Barremones. She could smell the fear in us.
03:35Next time you lie, you have to take a shower first.
03:38Okay, boys. Look, I gotta go to work.
03:40Before I do, I wanna talk to you for a minute.
03:43Now, when I get home, I get to plug this cord back into the TV.
03:48So you boys have to behave.
03:51You're not the only ones who've suffered with no TV.
03:56For all I know, there's a new wrestling champion.
03:59So, I want you to get to school on time.
04:03And before you leave, you go in there and you tell your mother to feel better.
04:07Maybe we should just let her sleep.
04:09She's slept straight through the last 48 hours.
04:11I think it's okay to wake her up for five minutes.
04:21Mom?
04:35Mom?
04:40You're starting to look better.
04:42He's not lying. Mom kills most germs on contact.
04:46But when one does get through, it's a doozy.
04:50You kids remember.
04:52You're not seven foot out of this house today.
04:55Huh?
04:56No TV. No friends.
04:59Till tomorrow.
05:00But, Mom...
05:01This is the last Sunday of your punishment.
05:04But...
05:07Okay, Mom. We got it. We're still grounded.
05:10What are you doing?
05:12Mom slept all weekend. She still thinks it's Sunday.
05:16You know what this means?
05:19No.
05:21We can pretend today's Sunday and stay home from school.
05:24Oh, I'm in.
05:26Okay, Mom.
05:28We're just gonna go continue our punishment.
05:30And we're definitely not going to school.
05:32Shut up.
05:33No.
05:35It's not a good job.
05:36Oh, it's not a good job.
05:37No.
05:38Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:39Yo!
05:40It's not a good job.
05:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:43You know, we've been a little hot number.
05:45Some would be hot to free.
05:46I don't want to be hot to free.
05:48Uh...
05:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:51If you hear that rhythm, you'll be out of control.
05:54You know, we've been a little hot number.
05:56Some would be hot to break.
05:58Oh, no!
06:00Oh...
06:01After all, no!

06:50no wait we can't someone will see us we're supposed to be in school
07:03okay we'll stay inside and watch to eat dang just give me some time to think
07:12come on already think of something i'm trying all i've got are all the reasons it was a stupid
07:38idea in the first place even if we manage to keep mom fooled we're screwed as soon as dad gets home
07:44it basically means we're gonna sit here bored out of our minds for eight hours and wait for mom to
07:50top our last punishment how could you be so stupid i could have done that myself
07:56get it before mom wakes up
07:59hello look mom it's all a pack of lies i had nothing to do with it
08:07seriously i was nowhere near that it's francis let me talk come on let me talk please what are you
08:12guys doing home mom's sick she thinks it's sunday we kind of went with it cool
08:18oh dude i need you to do me a giant favor go check the mail
08:23okay there should be a letter there from southern alabama state yeah it's here
08:30why did you apply there no there's probably no point me ever trying to i kind of
08:36drove a backhoe into their swimming pool oh man did they have to drain the pool
08:42no if you put a 10 foot crack in them they pretty much drain themselves
08:45they did have to drain the gym though
08:47oh but i have a plan i want you to take the letter
08:51and hide it okay and then what then hopefully i'll come up with a good idea later
08:58that's all i got so far yeah we're kind of in the same boat
09:03we're stuck in the house with nothing to do you guys should go down in the arcade on hillcrest
09:07the manager there has a pretty enlightened outlook about a kid's right to choose his own school hours
09:12we don't have any money though all right you guys are doing me a favor so i'm gonna let you
09:16in on a little secret mom keeps some money in the top left drawer of her dresser
09:22and she won't notice if you only take between five and seven dollars
09:27what are you boys doing looking for your money
09:40it's not there i moved it to the back of the closet
09:45where'd she hide your christmas presents no i moved those to the attic
09:53um mom where'd you hide the football i broke the window with
10:04in the garage and when you made chipped beef on toast last week was that really beef
10:11who knows it was 39 cents a pound
10:15did grandpa really punch jimmy carter in the face
10:21no he just threw a rock at the motorcade and ran off
10:26did you really give my red blanket to the poor kids
10:29no your father used it to clean the barbecue
10:34i was really adopted wasn't i oh you're ours and we love you
10:42damn
10:43so um i don't know
10:50what's your favorite color for the third time green
10:56let's just go wait i got a good one
11:03how'd you know dewey's bike wasn't really stolen
11:07that is a good one
11:09francis told me
11:13i can't believe it francis ratted on us to mom
11:28no he wouldn't do that you did it
11:32shut up he sold us out francis is dead to us now
11:36wait a minute that makes me the oldest brother
11:41guys seriously if you have any problems you can come to me
11:46dewey give me some iced tea
11:48no
11:48we should just give this to mom and let him fry
11:53right
11:54no wait it's francis we can't just take mom's word for it
11:59hey malcolm everything okay
12:02um francis we were just wondering
12:07mom said
12:09oh you ratted on us about dewey's bike
12:12but she's probably just mixed up right
12:16because you're a big brother and you wouldn't do something like that
12:20francis
12:23you don't know what kind of pressure i was under
12:25you butt wipe how could you
12:27well did he do it
12:29i can't believe you
12:30you're a big brother
12:32you're supposed to protect us not betray us
12:35he did it didn't he
12:36malcolm just let me explain
12:38and then you actually have the nerve to ask us to risk our butts for you
12:42maybe we should just give the letter to mom
12:45no you can't do that
12:47yeah why not
12:48because if you give the letter to mom she'll know it's not sunday
12:53i'll just tell her it came special delivery
12:56yeah well she won't believe it because she would have to sign for it
13:01i can forge her signature
13:03but then she'll know you can forge her signature
13:06which won't matter at all
13:07because she'll be so mad at you
13:09she won't even think about me for a few days
13:12and even if she does
13:13i'll just tell her i didn't want to disturb her
13:15so in addition to you getting nailed
13:17i'll get points for being sympathetic
13:19put reese on the phone
13:22you know how
13:25owning a porsche is not just for the wealthy anymore
13:29my life mate and i we both drive them

13:44yeah but what can i do to put you in that car today
13:47you can give me ninety thousand dollars
13:49that's funny
13:55seriously we have all kinds of financial plans available
14:00why don't we take it for our test drive
14:02and uh i i don't know
14:04i would have to call work and
14:08there's a phone

24:57As you fall, hear me call
25:02No, no, no
25:07Walking the view, cupping face to the window
25:12In darkness, you make out a spiraling shape
25:16Putting all reason aside, you exchange what you've got
25:22For a thing that's hypnotic and strange
25:26The spiraling shape will make you go insane
25:32Well, I guess it's mission accomplished
25:39I don't think Mom even remembers she has a son named Francis
