[horn honking]REESE: Come on, let's go!

What are we waiting for?!

Dad's taking us to Francis' dude ranch for the weekend.

Just the guys.

I'm really going to miss my girlfriend Nicki.

But then again, it's two days without Mom.

I've been in the car since 6:00.

[honking horn] Come on, Dad!

You'll see her Sunday!

I, uh... had to get my coffee.

Okay, gentlemen...

ready to roll?Yeah, let's do it.

Let's roll already!Yeah, come on, Dad.

[starts engine]

Seat belt-- check.

Map-- check.

Sunglasses-- check.

Lumbar pillow...

check.

Mirrors-- check.

Does that sound like a loose valve casing to you?

BOYS: Dad!All right.

You boys will soon learn

there's nothing wrong with being careful.

Wow!

Welcome to the Grotto.

I'll be with you in one minute.

No rush. We're just looking for Francis.

Francis?

You are Francis' family?

Yes, we were just...

[clanging]

Welcome, family of Francis.

I am Otto, and this is Gretchen.

We have dreamed for months of meeting you

and now finally you are here.

And look at beautiful liebling!

Your son is a genius.

He has completely turned this place around.

Well, not physically, of course.

We still face the arroyo as before,

but we could never have survived

without his hard work,Mm-mm.

his intelligenceMm-hmm.

his leadership...

Really?

Now, you just have the one Francis?

As long as you are here, everything is on the house.

[chuckling]

Now, would you like to review the staff?

Oh, I...

Please? It would mean so much to them.

[chuckling]

Good.Mmm.

Well...

Aren't they wonderful?

They are Hopi Indian kachina dolls.

Now, according to legend,

he tracks down misbehaving children

undchews up their bones

so no one will ever find them again.

Mythology is so much fun, don't you think?

Oh, no, no. No.

They are far too valuable.

You mustn't touch them.

Can I trust you?

I don't see why not.

Uh... very nice.

I like your boots.Give him your boots.

No, no! No, no, I couldn't.

You all look wonderful.

Thank you.

Do you hear that?

He likes us.

Back to work.

Hey, guys.

I'm so sorry.

I came as fast as I could. Hey.

I-I'm not going to get too close.

I'm fighting a terrible cold.

I'll probably be in bed all weekend.

Mom didn't come.

Well, we'll just have to enjoy ourselves without her.

Come on.

So, where's Francis?

Is he really the foreman?

We haven't seen him in months.

You'll have to forgive the boys.

They've always looked up to Francis

like he's some kind of hero.

[horse whinnies in distance]

[whinnies]

How's it going, guys?

My God, Francis!

How the heck did you learn to ride a horse like that?

Well, you got to pick it up quick around here.

We break horses, brand cattle...

It's about as close to the Old West as you'll ever find.

[horn toots]Where do I find the jazzercise class?

Other side of the smoothie bar.

[light laughter]

Oh, that chicken was fantastic.

And where'd you learn to cook chili like that?

I spend time in the kitchen, too.

The secret to good chili is how long you soak the beans.

So, to recap our little contest--

Dewey wins for most tuneful.

Francis for the loudest.

I was the sneakiest.

Malcolm, the most obnoxious.Ech.

At least I wasn't disqualified.

I gambled and lost.

It happens.

This is fun.

Why don't we do this every weekend?

Boy, wouldn't that be nice?

Oh, I almost forgot.

Francis, I booked a trip for all of us

to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning at Devil's Rock.

I don't want to get up at sunrise

to go look at some stupid rock.

It may be a stupid rock for most of the year,

but for the rest of this week

the angle of the sun at dawn makes it look

like there's fire coming out of the devil's eyes.

Actually, I can't do it tomorrow, Dad.

What do you mean you can't?

You were the one who called me and told me about it.

I know, but I have to lead a ride at 7:00

and it takes me two hours to get the horses ready.

Can we go on that ride? Yeah, can we?

Sure.Yeah! All right.

Hey, what are you doing?

I brought some stuff I wanted to burn.

You're on cowboy time now.

You got to get to bed early and rest up

if you want to come riding in the morning.

Bed? But I'm not tired.Sorry about the Devil's Rock thing.

Hey, don't worry about it.

I'll go by myself.

It'll be great.

Here it comes.

Wow.

That's amazing, Dad.

I'm so happy we could do this together, son.

All right, we got some loose gravel coming up

so let's keep your horses in line.

How do you know if the one you're on is still alive?

No one rides fast until you're familiar with the horses.

So, let's keep both hands on the reins

and keep those helmets on tight.

What's with Francis?

I don't know. We've been riding for an hour,

I can still see the barn.

Whoa, those look cool.

When can we ride those?

You're not going anywhere near those.

What? Why not?

Because I know you guys

and I don't want to take a day off work

just to peel your carcasses out of a barbwire fence.

Why don't you guys just and relax

and enjoy the scenery?

You seem to be the only riders having a problem.

MAN: Is Joey the big cowboy?

Yes, he is.

Yes, he is.

Why won't you guys play Ping-Pong with me?

The table's free and I've got the equipment form

for Dad to sign.

Because you're stupid.And we didn't come

all the way out here

to be stuck playing with you.

Wait just a minute.

That is precisely why we came out here--

so that we can all have a good time together.

Now, your brother asked you to play with him

and that is exactly what you are going to do.

Our dad signed the permission slip for the ATVs.

Mmm.

You don't look 16 to me.

It's a glandular thing.

He's very sensitive about how short he is.

Ooh. Perhaps you are a late bloomer.

I had my baby teeth until I was 14.

I'll get the keys.

"All terrain."

I wonder if that actually means allterrain.

They couldn't say it if it wasn't true.

Whee-hee!

Okay, so trees aren't terrain.

Now we know.

Ow!

I specifically told you guys

stay away from those ATVs!

What the hell were you thinking?!

They don't think, Francis. They never have!

The only thing their heads are good for

is to plug up their necks.

I blame the oldest one.

The others follow him like sheep.

I thought I could trust you guys

on your own for a few minutes.

Well, obviously I was wrong.

You are still the same stupid, reckless idiots

you've always been.

Francis, you don't have to yell at them like that.

I'll yell at whoever I want!

And even though I wish I hadn't said that,

it's too late now!

From now on, you boys stay away from the horses,

the vehicles, the pool and the other guests.

That means you are confined

to your room until further notice.

You're sending us to our room?!That's right.

I don't believe it.

You've turned into Mom.

Yeah? Well, sometimes Mom's right.

You take that back!

Oh, my God.

You broke my doll?

How could you be so thoughtless?

You promised me

you would leave it alone,

but it was just... a lie.

Oh...

All right, boys, go to your room now!

There, there.

We will give him new legs

and then he will be all good again

just like cousin Heinrich.

[chuckling]

Well, you did the right thing, Francis.

I just don't know when they're going to learn.

Them? What about you?

How could you sign a release form

and not read what it's intended for?

For God's sake, Dad,

my job is hard enough as it is.

"Sometimes Mom's right?

Sometimes Mom's right?"

Why didn't he just throw acid in our faces?

You know, I'd actually prefer that.

I can't believe he yelled at us

right in front of that French guy.

He can't get away with this.

We're going to get him back.

You're damn right we are.

Are you with us, Dewey?

Dewey?

And I know I shouldn't have taken it

but it looked so cool.

And then in the tree

I forgot it was in my pocket, and I fell... and it broke.

Oh, I know, I know, sweetheart.

And you know what?

I should never have yelled at you.

I feel terrible about that.

You do?

Oh, of course I do.

So, we both feel bad about what we did, huh?

You know what your Tante Gretchen does when she feels bad?

She works.

She works herself to the point

where her body screams in pain

and her soul begs for mercy.

Why?

It's the best form of penance.

Oh, when my fingers are raw, and my back is racked

with crippling pain, I feel all better.

Well, that might work for you...

Let's do it.Oh!

This will be wunderbar.

The two old men go for a ride.

See the beauty of the desert, commune with nature...

I just hate to take up too much of your time.

I already told the horses that we're going.

Don't make me look bad.

[whinnies]

Whoo!

Wh-what's the matter with this horse?

Nothing. Buttercup is very sweet.

[whinnies]

Are you sure

you're not still angry with the boys?

Buttercup is very good at picking up unresolved feelings.

No. I told you, I'm over it. I'm fine.

Buttercup is never wrong.

Once Gretchen made me an omelet with mushrooms.

Oh, I hate mushrooms.

But I didn't say anything. I had two helpings.

Well, Buttercup forced me to go back

and confront her.

We had the best sex we had had in years.

Thank you, Buttercup.

Maybe I should ride your horse.

Good idea.

Scout doesn't pick up on anything...

unless you're secretly gay.

Thanks, very much.

Hey, fellas, what can I do for you?

Um, we're looking for some sparklers.

And do you have any of those things called pinwheels?

Sure do.

Also got some lady fingers.

[engine starting]Okay, let's start with 18 genies,

two dozen gel-ignited pomegranates

and a case of devil dragons.

We're out of the 99s, you want 44s at half price?

44s are worthless.

Make it six packs of red dogs with time-delay fuses.

Powder or aluminum phosphate?

Who do you think you're dealing with?

MALCOLM: One last thing.

We're planning an event for a friend.

You got anything that will make it really special?

Depends on how much you're willing to spend.

Why don't you let my dad worry about that?

Boys... I'd like to introduce you...

...to the Komodo 3000.

Oh, yeah. This will get him back.

How are we doing?

My fingers hurt

but that bad feeling in my stomach is getting better.

This is good.

It means you are getting in touch with your guilt, ja?

What's the matter?

I just remembered when I was nine,

my uncle gave me a pfennig to put in the wishing well

but I threw a pebble in the well undI kept the pfennig.

I am pure evil.

[groans]

I once put a garden slug in Reese's sandwich...

and he ate it.

Undyou feel bad about this?

Then scrub.

Oh, look. Blood.

We are halfway there.

[laughing]

I can see why you love it out here, Otto.

Yeah, yeah, this is where I come to think,

to unwind, or when I am in the doghouse with Gretchen.

Ooh, I can be a naughty boy.

I have a barstool in the garage for the same thing.

Oh.

Well...

I suppose we should be heading back.

Yeah, yeah, we could do that or...

we could get to know each other a little better.

Is that schnapps?

In my experience, many interesting things

can be discovered with just the proper dosage.

[laughing]

Watch this.

[gunfire]

Oh, good shooting.

You shot that rock clean into two.

Yeah!

To Hal.To Otto.

Salud.

Salud!

Oh, have you ever seen so many stars in the sky.

Oh, look. Up there.

There's Orion. Where?

Right there.

Those three stars are his belt.

[gunfire and neighing]

What? There?

[gunfire]

No. There.

[neighing]

And there is his spear.

[neighing]

Oh, great.

Something scared off the horses. Oh...

[bullets hitting] Ooh. Whoa.

[shouting]

Run!

[screaming]

Ooh! Something bit me.

[groaning]

Oh, God, Otto, you're wounded.

Finally... I hit something.

Well, I just listened

at the boys' door and not a peep.

I hated coming down on them like that

but that's the only way they'll listen.

Absolutely.

I mean, I think I was hard but fair.

You couldn't have been more fair.

Okay, and now you're smiling which means

in about two seconds I'm going to look like a jackass.

You can keep going if you want.

Just tell me.The boys haven't been

in the room for three hours.What?

They want you to meet them at the south gate.

This should explain everything.

I'm afraid it starts off a little antagonistic.

Is that last word "lick" or "wipe"?

I think you're safe either way.

[grunting]

How far do you think we've gone?

Well, judging by that rock formation over there,

about 12 feet.

Oh, if only Francis knew we were out here

he would save us.

Oh, sure.

Super Francis.

He'd make a jetpack out of a cactus

and fly us all home.

Why are you so angry at Francis?

I am not angry at Francis.

Well, well you shouldn't be.

He is smart, he is capable,

he is hardworking

and I personally never met anyone more "relibable."

Yes, now.

When I had him for 18 years,

I punished him and threatened him and cried over him

and begged him and screamed at him

and his life was one train wreck after another.

Two months with you and now he's a model citizen.

And this is what you are so upset about?

Yes, I think it's pretty obvious.

All he needed was his father to get out of his face

so that he could meet someone

who knows how to turn his life around.

Well, if I am such a genius, how come that I am drunk

and lost in the desert with a bullet in my ass?

Hal, listen to me.

Francis had all of his great qualities

on the day that I met him.

What?

What do you think?

He just picked them up off the road?

"Hello, I would like a Big Gulp and a candy bar

and a new personality."

No, Hal. Listen to me.

Your acorn

did not fall very far from your tree.

So I'm not such a failure as a father?

Absolutely not.

Now, if your crisis is over,

my buttocks could use a vigorous rubbing.

They are starting to go numb.

GRETCHEN: Oh, that's it, Dewey.

We can't miss a spot.

Right corner. [grunts]

Got it.

Ja.

I think that is it.

Finally, we are finished.

Wow, I feel wonderful.

Ja,it's beautiful, isn't it?

This is the moment you work for.

Your soul is set free.

Your burden has been lifted.

I kind of feel like I'm floating.

Well, that's probably the ammonia

but we have done well.

A clean room leads to a clean conscience, ja?

I think I'm happier than I've ever been.

Mm, me, too, liebe.

Here, I want to give you something.

Promise you will think of me when you use it.

Thank you, Tante Gretchen.

De nada.

I don't know what you guys are trying

to pull here but you should know

I am way ahead of you.

What's that?

Looks like a fuse.

All right, what exactly are you planning?

We're planning to get you back.

We want our brother back

the way he used to be.

We know how much you always liked fire...

explosions...

Nice try.

That was a long time ago.

Really?

So, where does this go?

Well, I suppose you could find out by crawling over the fence

and following the fuse

or you could find out the Francis way.

We're sure you'll make the right decision.

Guys, I'm telling you, things are different now.

I'm married, I have responsibilities.

I'm just not a 16-year-old maniac anymore who...

Huh, interesting.

Does anything look familiar, Otto?

Just keep heading towards those mountains.

Behind us is certain death.

That's right, this way is certain death.

I wonder what that is.

I'll tell you what that is.

That is Francis showing us the way home.

I told you he'd get us out of this.

Yes, of course.Come on, come on.

This may even top Homecoming '98.

I don't know.

That float smoldered for a week.

How do we know which one's the Komodo 3000?

[explosion]

[yelling]: Let's hope that was it.

Did it say when our vision would come back?

Box said two days.

Totally worth it.
