1
00:00:12,708 --> 00:00:14,927
[knocking on door]

2
00:00:16,407 --> 00:00:18,366
Oh, hey, Dave!

3
00:00:18,409 --> 00:00:20,150
Come on in, buddy.

4
00:00:21,673 --> 00:00:23,066
Wow, you're in
a really good mood.

5
00:00:23,110 --> 00:00:26,678
I know. A new pothole
opened up on Jefferson,

6
00:00:26,722 --> 00:00:28,332
and it is tearing up
people's cars.

7
00:00:28,376 --> 00:00:31,161
They're breaking down
right in front of my shop.

8
00:00:31,205 --> 00:00:32,162
[chuckles]

9
00:00:32,206 --> 00:00:33,859
Ain't God good?

10
00:00:35,078 --> 00:00:36,862
Okay, well, since
you're so happy,

11
00:00:36,906 --> 00:00:39,126
you won't mind if I
borrow a couple tools.

12
00:00:39,169 --> 00:00:40,214
Sure, what do you need?

13
00:00:40,257 --> 00:00:41,954
Okay, let's see.

14
00:00:42,738 --> 00:00:44,087
Here we go.

15
00:00:44,131 --> 00:00:46,611
Uh, all right.
Miter saw, belt sander,

16
00:00:46,655 --> 00:00:48,091
power drill,
carriage bolts,

17
00:00:48,135 --> 00:00:50,006
auger bits,
and the instruction manuals

18
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,182
on how to use all those things.

19
00:00:54,619 --> 00:00:56,926
Dave, I've told you a hundred
times, we are not building

20
00:00:56,969 --> 00:00:59,059
a bridge connecting our houses.

21
00:01:01,322 --> 00:01:04,238
It was not a bridge,
it was a catwalk.

22
00:01:06,631 --> 00:01:08,764
But this is about
something else. Okay.

23
00:01:08,807 --> 00:01:11,071
Grover has been begging me
for a tree house,

24
00:01:11,114 --> 00:01:13,116
and since he's visiting
his grandmother for a few days,

25
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,554
I thought I'd surprise him
with one when he gets home.

26
00:01:16,598 --> 00:01:18,121
A tree house, huh?

27
00:01:18,165 --> 00:01:20,515
I remember the one
I built for Malcolm and Marty.

28
00:01:20,558 --> 00:01:22,299
That thing was amazing.

29
00:01:22,343 --> 00:01:24,997
Well, I've got some pretty
exciting plans myself.

30
00:01:25,041 --> 00:01:28,262
Two words: bird feeder.

31
00:01:30,612 --> 00:01:33,876
I got two words for you:
poor Grover.

32
00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:36,096
Aw, man.

33
00:01:36,139 --> 00:01:38,576
You should've seen
the one I built.

34
00:01:38,620 --> 00:01:40,361
It had a lookout perch,

35
00:01:40,404 --> 00:01:41,840
a rope swing.

36
00:01:41,884 --> 00:01:45,192
It even had a secret door
that led to a slide.

37
00:01:45,235 --> 00:01:48,238
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but screw feeding the birds.

38
00:01:48,282 --> 00:01:51,111
Yeah, man, the boys spent
the entire summer up there.

39
00:01:51,154 --> 00:01:52,503
By the time they came down,

40
00:01:52,547 --> 00:01:56,377
Marty needed longer pants
and Malcolm had a goatee.

41
00:01:57,291 --> 00:01:59,467
Well, Calvin,
that sounds awesome. Hey--

42
00:01:59,510 --> 00:02:00,990
is there any chance
that you would help me

43
00:02:01,033 --> 00:02:02,513
build Grover's tree house?

44
00:02:02,557 --> 00:02:04,080
Hmm.

45
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:08,998
This may be the pothole
talking, but I'd love to.

46
00:02:09,041 --> 00:02:10,739
You know what, I got
some extra wood in my garage,

47
00:02:10,782 --> 00:02:11,957
and anything else we need,

48
00:02:12,001 --> 00:02:13,524
we can get
at the hardware store.

49
00:02:13,568 --> 00:02:16,048
Okay, perfect. Also, we can
swing by the pet store.

50
00:02:16,092 --> 00:02:18,834
I have 200 pounds
of birdseed to return.

51
00:02:20,792 --> 00:02:22,925
♪ Welcome to the block,
welcome to the neighborhood ♪

52
00:02:22,968 --> 00:02:24,144
♪ Welcome to the hood.

53
00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:30,802
Wow, you really know your
way around Home Warehouse.

54
00:02:30,846 --> 00:02:32,282
You found everything
so quickly.

55
00:02:32,326 --> 00:02:33,805
Everything except you.

56
00:02:33,849 --> 00:02:36,678
Where the hell did you
disappear to for so long?

57
00:02:36,721 --> 00:02:38,332
Sorry. Any time I see
a plant section,

58
00:02:38,375 --> 00:02:41,291
I like to pretend
that I'm lost in the jungle.

59
00:02:42,901 --> 00:02:45,077
Hey, guys. Oh, nice.

60
00:02:45,121 --> 00:02:46,470
Dave, I see
you finally talked my dad

61
00:02:46,514 --> 00:02:48,298
into building that catwalk.

62
00:02:48,342 --> 00:02:50,170
Wrong.

63
00:02:50,213 --> 00:02:53,173
I'm helping Dave
build a tree house for Grover,

64
00:02:53,216 --> 00:02:55,523
just like the one I built
for you and Malcolm.

65
00:02:55,566 --> 00:02:57,133
Oh, really? That's fantastic.

66
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:59,396
Yeah, you know, just thinking
about it brings back

67
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,008
a lot of happy memories
of you boys playing in yours.

68
00:03:03,052 --> 00:03:04,923
Yeah, me too, Dad.
[chuckles]

69
00:03:04,967 --> 00:03:08,710
Man, see, that is exactly
the kind of memories

70
00:03:08,753 --> 00:03:10,233
that I want to have with Grover.

71
00:03:10,277 --> 00:03:12,061
Aw, man, well, you won't
if you let my dad build it,

72
00:03:12,104 --> 00:03:14,019
because Grover will be dead.

73
00:03:16,544 --> 00:03:18,023
W-What are you talking about?

74
00:03:18,067 --> 00:03:19,199
Trust me, man,
the one that my dad

75
00:03:19,242 --> 00:03:20,591
built for us was a nightmare.

76
00:03:20,635 --> 00:03:22,027
It had a hole in the floor,

77
00:03:22,071 --> 00:03:23,986
splinters everywhere,
nails poking out.

78
00:03:24,029 --> 00:03:26,336
It was like playing inside
a knife drawer.

79
00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:27,903
[stammers]

80
00:03:27,946 --> 00:03:29,513
I mean, what am I
supposed to do?

81
00:03:29,557 --> 00:03:32,299
I mean, your dad is so excited,
I can't ask him to stop now.

82
00:03:32,342 --> 00:03:34,388
Well, in that case,
the only thing you should do

83
00:03:34,431 --> 00:03:38,174
is use this saw
to cut down your tree.

84
00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:40,872
No, wait. You know what? No.
Marty, you're an engineer.

85
00:03:40,916 --> 00:03:44,398
Look, you can help us build it
and make sure that it's safe.

86
00:03:44,441 --> 00:03:47,270
Dude, are you kidding me?
If my dad finds out you asked me

87
00:03:47,314 --> 00:03:49,229
to supervise his work,
he'll be furious.

88
00:03:49,272 --> 00:03:50,708
Well, then,
he doesn't need to know.

89
00:03:50,752 --> 00:03:53,407
Just swing by and make
a few casual suggestions.

90
00:03:53,450 --> 00:03:55,496
Then you're not stepping
on his toes.

91
00:03:55,539 --> 00:03:58,673
And more importantly,
Grover won't lose any of his.

92
00:03:58,716 --> 00:04:00,762
I don't know, man.

93
00:04:00,805 --> 00:04:02,285
Good news, Dave!

94
00:04:02,329 --> 00:04:04,548
I figured out a way
we can run a zip line

95
00:04:04,592 --> 00:04:07,072
from the roof to the tree house.

96
00:04:07,116 --> 00:04:09,423
We just got to get around
those power lines.

97
00:04:14,471 --> 00:04:15,820
So, 1:00 okay for you?

98
00:04:18,170 --> 00:04:20,216
Yes...

99
00:04:22,871 --> 00:04:25,177
Hey, Tina. Here's the
flour you asked for.

100
00:04:25,221 --> 00:04:26,788
I brought all I had
because I didn't know

101
00:04:26,831 --> 00:04:29,965
how many cups
were in a "crapload."

102
00:04:30,008 --> 00:04:31,923
Great. Did you also
bring the butter?

103
00:04:31,967 --> 00:04:33,577
No, sorry, I was out.

104
00:04:33,621 --> 00:04:36,972
Alexa, add a crapload of butter
to my shopping list.

105
00:04:37,015 --> 00:04:38,930
ALEXA:
I've added a crapload of butter

106
00:04:38,974 --> 00:04:40,976
to your shopping list.

107
00:04:42,064 --> 00:04:44,022
Did you program her to say that?

108
00:04:44,066 --> 00:04:46,460
No. She just gets me.

109
00:04:48,592 --> 00:04:50,507
So, what's with all the cookies?

110
00:04:50,551 --> 00:04:53,162
[sighs] Well,
like an idiot, I volunteered

111
00:04:53,205 --> 00:04:55,947
to make 400 of them
for the church bake sale.

112
00:04:55,991 --> 00:04:58,210
400? That's crazy.Mm.

113
00:04:58,254 --> 00:05:00,996
I know, but Sister Thompson
made 300 last year,

114
00:05:01,039 --> 00:05:03,303
and I thought embarrassing
that stuck-up old hag

115
00:05:03,346 --> 00:05:05,392
would be
the Christian thing to do.

116
00:05:05,435 --> 00:05:07,002
[laughs]

117
00:05:07,045 --> 00:05:08,482
Well, if you need some help,

118
00:05:08,525 --> 00:05:10,614
I'd be happy
to make some for you.

119
00:05:10,658 --> 00:05:12,529
Oh, really?
Sure.

120
00:05:12,573 --> 00:05:14,009
I love to bake.

121
00:05:14,052 --> 00:05:15,489
You know, when Grover
was little, I used to...

122
00:05:15,532 --> 00:05:17,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Less chatter, more batter.

123
00:05:17,404 --> 00:05:19,014
Okay.

124
00:05:22,365 --> 00:05:23,758
[chuckles]

125
00:05:23,801 --> 00:05:27,370
What do you say, Dave?
You looking level on your side?

126
00:05:27,414 --> 00:05:29,329
Not really.

127
00:05:29,372 --> 00:05:32,332
Ah, don't beat yourself up.
Mine isn't, either.

128
00:05:32,375 --> 00:05:33,463
[chuckles]

129
00:05:33,507 --> 00:05:35,073
Hey, guys.

130
00:05:35,117 --> 00:05:36,988
Oh, look who's here.

131
00:05:37,032 --> 00:05:39,382
It's Marty, showing up
completely on his own.

132
00:05:39,426 --> 00:05:42,820
Right on time,
but totally unplanned.

133
00:05:42,864 --> 00:05:45,475
Yeah, I just figured I'd drop by
and see how you guys were doing.

134
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:48,826
Oh, great. We're halfway done
with the floor.

135
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:51,089
Yeah, uh, that's right, uh...

136
00:05:51,133 --> 00:05:53,657
I got to levelwith you,
Marty, I can

137
00:05:53,701 --> 00:05:58,532
not evenbelieve
how well it's going.

138
00:05:58,575 --> 00:06:00,664
Well, actually,
from where I'm standing,

139
00:06:00,708 --> 00:06:02,666
i-it looks a little slanted.

140
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:06,017
Oh.
Eh, maybe.

141
00:06:06,061 --> 00:06:07,279
But trust me,
it'll look straight

142
00:06:07,323 --> 00:06:09,151
when it's 12 feet in the air.

143
00:06:09,194 --> 00:06:11,240
So-so, when you
get it up there,

144
00:06:11,283 --> 00:06:13,024
what are you gonna use
to support it? Is--

145
00:06:13,068 --> 00:06:15,200
You gonna use braces
or a cantilever system?

146
00:06:15,244 --> 00:06:17,551
Oh, a cantilever system.
You know what's crazy?

147
00:06:17,594 --> 00:06:21,032
Grover was just
asking for one of those.

148
00:06:21,076 --> 00:06:22,599
No, man, don't worry
about that stuff.

149
00:06:22,643 --> 00:06:24,862
I got something
way sturdier in mind.

150
00:06:24,906 --> 00:06:26,603
Oh. W-What?

151
00:06:26,647 --> 00:06:28,388
I'm gonna nail it to that branch

152
00:06:28,431 --> 00:06:30,302
and then I'm-a tie a
bungee cord and run it

153
00:06:30,346 --> 00:06:33,480
all the way over to
that telephone pole.

154
00:06:34,872 --> 00:06:37,527
Yeah, I got to say, Dad,
from an engineering standpoint,

155
00:06:37,571 --> 00:06:39,703
that doesn't sound
super safe to me.

156
00:06:39,747 --> 00:06:41,531
You're probably right.

157
00:06:41,575 --> 00:06:43,228
Two bungee cords it is.

158
00:06:43,272 --> 00:06:45,535
Yeah, uh, I don't know, Calvin.

159
00:06:45,579 --> 00:06:48,538
I-I think Marty is making
some pretty good points.

160
00:06:48,582 --> 00:06:50,105
Yeah, speaking of points,

161
00:06:50,148 --> 00:06:53,238
maybe we should hammer down
some of these exposed nails.

162
00:06:53,282 --> 00:06:55,066
What are you
talking about?

163
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:56,894
That's a built-in
security system

164
00:06:56,938 --> 00:06:59,070
to keep the squirrels out.

165
00:06:59,854 --> 00:07:01,333
I don't know, Calvin, uh,

166
00:07:01,377 --> 00:07:04,119
I think I'm leaning
towards Marty's suggestion.

167
00:07:04,162 --> 00:07:06,469
It feels a little bit
less tetanusy.

168
00:07:06,513 --> 00:07:09,603
All right, fine,
we'll hammer in the nails.

169
00:07:09,646 --> 00:07:11,648
Good. Y-You know,

170
00:07:11,692 --> 00:07:13,476
the squirrels probably
won't even be a problem.

171
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,913
I know. 'Cause I'm-a
put barbed wire

172
00:07:15,957 --> 00:07:18,481
all around this
thing instead.

173
00:07:18,525 --> 00:07:20,222
Good idea, fellas.

174
00:07:23,138 --> 00:07:27,969
Alexa, set cookie timer
for 12 minutes.

175
00:07:28,012 --> 00:07:30,798
ALEXA:
Cookie timer set for 12 minutes.

176
00:07:30,841 --> 00:07:33,104
Girl, you are such a big help.

177
00:07:33,148 --> 00:07:37,282
Now, if you could talk trash
and drink wine, we could hang.

178
00:07:37,326 --> 00:07:39,807
Okay, here you go.

179
00:07:39,850 --> 00:07:42,070
100 vegan carob chip cookies.

180
00:07:42,113 --> 00:07:43,898
What?
[laughs]
I'm kidding.

181
00:07:43,941 --> 00:07:45,769
These are so unhealthy,

182
00:07:45,813 --> 00:07:49,294
there's a little heart
attack in each one.

183
00:07:49,338 --> 00:07:53,342
Hey, Mom, did you hear
the bad news about Mr. Pickett?

184
00:07:53,385 --> 00:07:55,475
Oh, he fell down
the stairs and-- Oh!

185
00:07:55,518 --> 00:07:57,215
Cookies.

186
00:07:59,391 --> 00:08:00,349
Mmm.

187
00:08:00,392 --> 00:08:01,785
Oh, my God.
[laughs]

188
00:08:01,829 --> 00:08:04,745
Mom, these are the best cookies
you ever made.

189
00:08:05,833 --> 00:08:07,225
Excuse me?

190
00:08:07,269 --> 00:08:09,227
I'm serious, Ma.

191
00:08:09,271 --> 00:08:10,664
I don't know
what you did different,

192
00:08:10,707 --> 00:08:13,144
but these right here
put all your other cookies

193
00:08:13,188 --> 00:08:14,276
to shame.

194
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:16,104
[laughs] Mmm.

195
00:08:16,147 --> 00:08:18,976
Actually, I baked that batch.

196
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:21,239
[clears throat]
You say what now?

197
00:08:23,807 --> 00:08:27,681
Those are hers.

198
00:08:30,031 --> 00:08:32,424
You know what?
[coughs]

199
00:08:32,468 --> 00:08:34,209
I spoke way too soon.

200
00:08:34,252 --> 00:08:35,993
Let me go ahead
and try one of yours.

201
00:08:36,037 --> 00:08:40,171
Mmm, mmm, mmm.

202
00:08:40,215 --> 00:08:42,347
You see? I was wrong.

203
00:08:42,391 --> 00:08:44,654
I was wrong.
These are way better.

204
00:08:44,698 --> 00:08:46,743
[laughs]

205
00:08:46,787 --> 00:08:48,528
Still Gemma's.

206
00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:53,620
You know what?

207
00:08:53,663 --> 00:08:56,448
Let me try one of these right...Just get out of here!

208
00:08:58,886 --> 00:09:00,017
[thudding]

209
00:09:00,061 --> 00:09:02,193
[laughs]
Look at that floor.

210
00:09:02,237 --> 00:09:03,847
Solid as a rock.

211
00:09:03,891 --> 00:09:06,502
I told you that dead branch
was strong enough to hold it.

212
00:09:07,503 --> 00:09:08,896
Yeah, uh,

213
00:09:08,939 --> 00:09:10,245
lucky for us you spotted it

214
00:09:10,288 --> 00:09:13,857
so very, very high
up in the tree.

215
00:09:13,901 --> 00:09:16,686
Oh, know what we should do,

216
00:09:16,730 --> 00:09:19,080
is get a steel pipe
and put it on the roof

217
00:09:19,123 --> 00:09:21,256
so Grover can fly a pirate flag.

218
00:09:21,299 --> 00:09:23,475
Oh, that's a great idea.

219
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:25,042
No kid's wooden fort
is complete

220
00:09:25,086 --> 00:09:27,567
without a lightning rod
attached to it.

221
00:09:27,610 --> 00:09:30,874
Now, you see a problem,
I see free electricity.

222
00:09:30,918 --> 00:09:32,397
Yeah...

223
00:09:32,441 --> 00:09:34,965
You know, though, maybe
we skip the flagpole.

224
00:09:35,009 --> 00:09:37,707
Yeah, Grover's not into
pirates anymore anyway.

225
00:09:37,751 --> 00:09:39,100
Oh, that's too bad.

226
00:09:39,143 --> 00:09:40,841
I see at least
three planks up there

227
00:09:40,884 --> 00:09:42,799
just begging
to be walked off.

228
00:09:44,975 --> 00:09:46,368
What's your deal, Marty?

229
00:09:46,411 --> 00:09:48,500
Why you keep criticizing
everything I do?

230
00:09:48,544 --> 00:09:50,894
Well, i-it's not about you, Dad.
I'm just looking out for Grover.

231
00:09:50,938 --> 00:09:53,593
You know what?
I-I like the sound of that.

232
00:09:53,636 --> 00:09:55,507
You know, Grover
has very delicate bones.

233
00:09:55,551 --> 00:09:59,163
He's... he's basically
like a little baby bird.

234
00:10:00,295 --> 00:10:02,819
Eh, the only baby
around here is Marty.

235
00:10:02,863 --> 00:10:05,474
"Wah, the floor is uneven."

236
00:10:05,517 --> 00:10:08,564
"Wah, lightning's bad for you."

237
00:10:09,478 --> 00:10:11,436
I'm just trying to make it safe.

238
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,614
No, what you're doing
is trying to make it boring.

239
00:10:14,657 --> 00:10:17,051
Half the fun of a tree house
is taking some risk.

240
00:10:17,094 --> 00:10:19,096
A little sense of adventure.

241
00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:21,272
When did you become so soft?

242
00:10:22,099 --> 00:10:23,666
I'm not soft, Dad.

243
00:10:23,710 --> 00:10:25,494
I'm just trying to stop
this tree house from being

244
00:10:25,537 --> 00:10:27,670
an even bigger disaster
than the one you built us.

245
00:10:27,714 --> 00:10:30,064
What are you talking about?
You loved that tree house.

246
00:10:30,107 --> 00:10:32,936
No, man, I hated it. That thing
was way too dangerous.

247
00:10:32,980 --> 00:10:36,200
Name one thing that was
dangerous about it.

248
00:10:36,244 --> 00:10:39,639
Dad, you built it
over a barbecue pit.

249
00:10:42,206 --> 00:10:44,165
It's called heated floors.

250
00:10:45,383 --> 00:10:47,472
G-Guys, please stop arguing.

251
00:10:47,516 --> 00:10:49,431
Look, I'm not arguing,
I'm just realizing

252
00:10:49,474 --> 00:10:51,476
how ungrateful my son is.

253
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,304
Yeah, and I'm just realizing
how reckless

254
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:55,089
and irresponsible my dad is.

255
00:10:55,132 --> 00:10:57,308
You know what, Marty, what-what
are you even doing here?

256
00:10:57,352 --> 00:10:59,049
Nobody invited you.
Right, Dave?

257
00:10:59,093 --> 00:11:03,271
Yeah, totally uninvited, but at
the same time, very welcome.

258
00:11:05,012 --> 00:11:08,711
Yeah, fine, you guys don't want
my help, I'm out of here.

259
00:11:08,755 --> 00:11:10,844
I was just trying to keep
Grover safe.

260
00:11:10,887 --> 00:11:13,237
Well, you don't have
to worry about that,

261
00:11:13,281 --> 00:11:14,761
because when it comes
to tree houses,

262
00:11:14,804 --> 00:11:16,719
nobody builds 'em
better than me.

263
00:11:16,763 --> 00:11:19,591
Oh!

264
00:11:19,635 --> 00:11:22,507
Boom. There's your
rope swing right there.

265
00:11:29,297 --> 00:11:31,560
[knock on door]

266
00:11:35,477 --> 00:11:37,609
Hey, Dave, what's up?

267
00:11:37,653 --> 00:11:39,611
And if you say the tree house,
I will be shocked.

268
00:11:40,830 --> 00:11:43,659
I came over to apologize
for yesterday.

269
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,269
The last thing I wanted
was to cause

270
00:11:45,313 --> 00:11:47,228
a fight
between you and your dad.

271
00:11:47,271 --> 00:11:48,577
I mean, you didn't
start that fight.

272
00:11:48,620 --> 00:11:50,579
He did when he called me soft.

273
00:11:50,622 --> 00:11:53,060
It's messed up.Yeah, I totally get it.

274
00:11:53,103 --> 00:11:56,759
I'd hate it if Calvin
ever thought I were soft.

275
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,852
But come on, Marty,
I need you to come back.

276
00:12:02,896 --> 00:12:04,158
For Grover's sake.

277
00:12:04,201 --> 00:12:05,463
How bad is it?

278
00:12:05,507 --> 00:12:08,292
It is a nightmare.
He's over there right now

279
00:12:08,336 --> 00:12:09,641
trying to get a diving board

280
00:12:09,685 --> 00:12:11,643
to reach the neighbors'
swimming pool.

281
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:15,735
Dave, I tried to help, man.
You saw what happened.

282
00:12:15,778 --> 00:12:19,347
I know, and I should have
backed you up, but...

283
00:12:19,390 --> 00:12:20,740
but it's hard.

284
00:12:20,783 --> 00:12:22,306
Your dad's heart is
in the right place,

285
00:12:22,350 --> 00:12:25,875
even though I'm pretty sure
his support beams are not.

286
00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:29,009
Well,

287
00:12:29,052 --> 00:12:30,401
if you want me to come back,

288
00:12:30,445 --> 00:12:32,534
you're gonna have to make my dad
do things my way.

289
00:12:32,577 --> 00:12:34,144
Absolutely. Look, Marty,

290
00:12:34,188 --> 00:12:36,756
from now on, you are in charge,
no matter what.

291
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:38,845
Okay, good. But we better get
over there quick

292
00:12:38,888 --> 00:12:40,803
because the neighbors drained
that pool two years ago.

293
00:12:40,847 --> 00:12:42,805
Oh...

294
00:12:47,157 --> 00:12:49,594
Hey. Okay for me to come in?

295
00:12:49,638 --> 00:12:51,074
Of course, Gemma,
why wouldn't it be?

296
00:12:51,118 --> 00:12:53,642
I don't know,
I was worried you might still be

297
00:12:53,685 --> 00:12:56,471
upset about that whole cookie
thing yesterday.

298
00:12:56,514 --> 00:12:59,343
Ah, please, they're just
silly cookies

299
00:12:59,387 --> 00:13:01,781
that I've baked for Malcolm
his whole life,

300
00:13:01,824 --> 00:13:06,046
ever since I squeezed his sorry
ass out of my damn body.

301
00:13:06,089 --> 00:13:07,612
I know, I'm sorry.

302
00:13:07,656 --> 00:13:09,789
No, no, it's not your fault.

303
00:13:09,832 --> 00:13:12,139
Malcolm was right,
your cookies were delicious.

304
00:13:12,182 --> 00:13:13,401
Thanks.

305
00:13:13,444 --> 00:13:15,620
You're welcome. And besides,

306
00:13:15,664 --> 00:13:17,797
obviously it was just a fluke.

307
00:13:20,190 --> 00:13:21,801
What do you mean, a fluke?

308
00:13:21,844 --> 00:13:24,412
Oh, I'm sorry, Gemma,
I didn't mean it like that.

309
00:13:24,455 --> 00:13:25,848
I'm just saying,
everyone knows that

310
00:13:25,892 --> 00:13:28,329
my cookies eat yours
for breakfast.

311
00:13:30,418 --> 00:13:32,376
Well, everyone might know,

312
00:13:32,420 --> 00:13:34,857
but clearly Malcolm doesn't.

313
00:13:37,512 --> 00:13:41,081
Okay, okay.

314
00:13:41,124 --> 00:13:44,258
Well, it sounds like there's
only one way to settle this.

315
00:13:44,301 --> 00:13:45,520
You talking bake-off?

316
00:13:45,563 --> 00:13:48,479
Oh, you know it.
Name your cookie.

317
00:13:48,523 --> 00:13:52,092
Shortbread?
Snickerdoodle?

318
00:13:52,135 --> 00:13:56,444
If we're gonna do it,
let's go all the way.

319
00:13:56,487 --> 00:13:58,228
You talking oatmeal?

320
00:13:58,272 --> 00:14:02,667
With raisins.

321
00:14:02,711 --> 00:14:06,671
Is there any other way?

322
00:14:06,715 --> 00:14:09,196
Actually, sometimes they
use chocolate chips.

323
00:14:09,239 --> 00:14:11,546
Oh, that sounds yummy.
Let's do that instead.
Okay.

324
00:14:16,986 --> 00:14:18,466
Hey, Dad.

325
00:14:18,509 --> 00:14:22,992
Oh, look who's back,
the building inspector.

326
00:14:23,036 --> 00:14:25,995
Actually, Calvin,
I asked Marty to come back.

327
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:27,388
Why would you do that?

328
00:14:27,431 --> 00:14:29,651
Look, I know you're just
trying to make this place

329
00:14:29,694 --> 00:14:32,872
as much fun as possible
for Grover, but...

330
00:14:32,915 --> 00:14:36,440
it would be nice if he were
actually alive to enjoy it.

331
00:14:36,484 --> 00:14:39,922
Seriously?
You're taking his side?

332
00:14:39,966 --> 00:14:41,924
Look, Calvin,
there are no sides.

333
00:14:41,968 --> 00:14:43,578
Yeah, like this place
when somebody sneezes

334
00:14:43,621 --> 00:14:45,058
and the walls fall down.

335
00:14:46,059 --> 00:14:47,408
Know what? Fine.

336
00:14:47,451 --> 00:14:49,018
If neither of you think
that I can do this,

337
00:14:49,062 --> 00:14:49,976
then I'm out of here.

338
00:14:50,019 --> 00:14:54,023
But I'm taking my nail with me.

339
00:14:54,067 --> 00:14:57,026
[loud creaking]

340
00:14:57,070 --> 00:14:58,375
What was that?

341
00:14:58,419 --> 00:15:00,551
Oh, relax.
It's just the floor

342
00:15:00,595 --> 00:15:01,901
settling onto the tree.

343
00:15:01,944 --> 00:15:04,033
Now it's even more rock-solid.

344
00:15:04,077 --> 00:15:06,557
[loud cracking]

345
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:12,041
M-Maybe I should put this nail
back where it, where it was.

346
00:15:12,085 --> 00:15:14,087
[all shout]

347
00:15:17,090 --> 00:15:18,047
Okay.

348
00:15:18,091 --> 00:15:19,048
I got to admit,

349
00:15:19,092 --> 00:15:20,876
now the floor is
a little slanted.

350
00:15:24,271 --> 00:15:26,447
[knocking]

351
00:15:26,490 --> 00:15:28,928
Whoa. [clears throat]

352
00:15:30,059 --> 00:15:32,018
Hey, ladies...Enough small talk.

353
00:15:32,061 --> 00:15:34,107
We need you to settle a bet.Mm-hmm.

354
00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:36,413
Uh, what bet?

355
00:15:36,457 --> 00:15:38,415
We both baked
one of these cookies.

356
00:15:38,459 --> 00:15:39,764
All you have to do
is taste them

357
00:15:39,808 --> 00:15:41,636
and tell us which one
you like better.

358
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:44,160
And God help you
if you get it wrong.

359
00:15:44,987 --> 00:15:46,771
You know, actually,
I am kind of busy right now.

360
00:15:46,815 --> 00:15:48,948
But you know who loves cookies?

361
00:15:48,991 --> 00:15:50,427
Marty. I'm gonna go find him.

362
00:15:50,471 --> 00:15:52,603
Nice try, Malcolm.
Yeah.

363
00:15:52,647 --> 00:15:55,128
Now be a man and eat
your milk and cookies!

364
00:15:57,347 --> 00:15:59,959
All right, fine.

365
00:16:04,224 --> 00:16:05,921
Mmm.

366
00:16:12,319 --> 00:16:13,494
So, which is better?

367
00:16:13,537 --> 00:16:14,974
Well...

368
00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:17,933
I hate to disappoint
either of you, but...

369
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:20,457
it's a tie-- everybody wins!

370
00:16:20,501 --> 00:16:22,329
Malcolm!

371
00:16:22,372 --> 00:16:24,157
All right, Ma.

372
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,028
If I had to choose,

373
00:16:26,072 --> 00:16:28,639
I pick this one.

374
00:16:29,162 --> 00:16:31,207
Boom! Hey!

375
00:16:31,251 --> 00:16:35,168
Somebody call Keebler and tell
'em there's a new elf in town!

376
00:16:40,347 --> 00:16:42,175
Well, congratulations.

377
00:16:42,218 --> 00:16:45,221
I guess you were right,
my cookies were just a fluke.

378
00:16:45,265 --> 00:16:47,963
I'm sorry, Gemma,
I never should've said that.

379
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:50,661
I just overreacted
because I'm Malcolm's mom.

380
00:16:50,705 --> 00:16:52,576
And, you know, every mama wants

381
00:16:52,620 --> 00:16:54,796
her baby to like
her cookies best.

382
00:16:54,839 --> 00:16:58,408
I get it, and I'm glad
he picked yours.

383
00:16:58,452 --> 00:16:59,888
Thank you.

384
00:16:59,931 --> 00:17:01,411
And thank you, Malcolm.

385
00:17:01,455 --> 00:17:03,979
Now I'm gonna go put
your baby pictures back up.

386
00:17:06,851 --> 00:17:10,333
Look, I'm sorry, Gemma.
Your cookie was good, too.

387
00:17:10,377 --> 00:17:13,162
It just had a bit of, um,
a strange aftertaste.

388
00:17:13,206 --> 00:17:16,600
I hope so. I put in
a crapload of pickle juice.

389
00:17:17,471 --> 00:17:19,690
Pickle juice?
Why would you put pickle juice

390
00:17:19,734 --> 00:17:21,170
in an oatmeal cookie?

391
00:17:21,214 --> 00:17:23,042
Because I'm a mama, too.

392
00:17:23,085 --> 00:17:25,348
Like your mom said,
we all want our babies

393
00:17:25,392 --> 00:17:27,394
to like our cookies best.

394
00:17:27,437 --> 00:17:28,525
[chuckles]

395
00:17:28,569 --> 00:17:30,223
You're a good friend, Gemma.

396
00:17:30,266 --> 00:17:33,139
Not that good. At first, I was
going to put it in her cookie.

397
00:17:35,228 --> 00:17:37,273
[tree house creaking]

398
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:41,190
Okay, nobody move or this thing
is gonna collapse.

399
00:17:41,234 --> 00:17:42,887
All right, now I know
how this looks, but I built

400
00:17:42,931 --> 00:17:44,411
this thing for a couple
of little kids.

401
00:17:44,454 --> 00:17:46,108
Not three grown men.

402
00:17:46,935 --> 00:17:48,545
That being said,
I probably could've used

403
00:17:48,589 --> 00:17:50,025
a few more bungee cords.

404
00:17:50,852 --> 00:17:53,376
Okay, so what
do we do now?

405
00:17:53,420 --> 00:17:56,205
And if you're gonna say
pee your pants, well...

406
00:17:56,249 --> 00:17:57,380
mission accomplished.

407
00:17:57,424 --> 00:17:59,339
Well, Marty,
you're an engineer.

408
00:17:59,382 --> 00:18:01,950
If anybody can figure a way
to get us out of here, it's you.

409
00:18:01,993 --> 00:18:05,127
Okay, okay, okay, uh...
all right, I-I think I got it.

410
00:18:05,171 --> 00:18:07,956
Um, if-if we coordinate
our movements

411
00:18:07,999 --> 00:18:10,263
and redistribute
our body weight, that should

412
00:18:10,306 --> 00:18:12,743
counterbalance the floor
until we can each get out.

413
00:18:12,787 --> 00:18:15,181
Great idea.
And may I say,

414
00:18:15,224 --> 00:18:17,139
as a professional
conflict mediator,

415
00:18:17,183 --> 00:18:19,924
an excellent team-building
exercise.

416
00:18:19,968 --> 00:18:23,058
You know...
Okay, all right.

417
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:24,320
You might want to hurry
this thing up.

418
00:18:24,364 --> 00:18:25,713
This tree is getting sick
of Dave, too.

419
00:18:25,756 --> 00:18:27,889
Okay... okay, Dave?

420
00:18:27,932 --> 00:18:30,370
You're closest to the door.
I'm gonna slide two steps

421
00:18:30,413 --> 00:18:32,589
to the left, Dad, you take
two steps to the right.

422
00:18:32,633 --> 00:18:34,504
That should balance the floor.

423
00:18:34,548 --> 00:18:36,071
Ready?

424
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,682
Go!

425
00:18:38,726 --> 00:18:40,815
All right.

426
00:18:40,858 --> 00:18:43,339
Okay, all right,
Dave, you climb out.

427
00:18:43,383 --> 00:18:46,037
Dad, as soon as he does,
you take another step

428
00:18:46,081 --> 00:18:48,214
to the left.
I'm gonna take two steps back.

429
00:18:48,257 --> 00:18:51,782
Oh, so this is like the Electric
Slide meets the Cupid Shuffle.

430
00:18:51,826 --> 00:18:53,784
No, Dad, Dad, no!

431
00:18:53,828 --> 00:18:55,395
Oh, my God.
[stammers]

432
00:18:55,438 --> 00:18:56,874
Oh, oh, ooh!

433
00:18:56,918 --> 00:18:59,660
That-That-That's on me
right there.

434
00:19:00,661 --> 00:19:02,402
Okay, Dave, go!

435
00:19:02,445 --> 00:19:03,794
Okay.

436
00:19:03,838 --> 00:19:06,057
And for the record,
there are

437
00:19:06,101 --> 00:19:08,059
no two men that I'd rather be
trapped in a tree house

438
00:19:08,103 --> 00:19:10,323
with than the two of you!Get out of here!

439
00:19:15,545 --> 00:19:16,503
Okay, Dad.

440
00:19:16,546 --> 00:19:17,808
It's your turn.

441
00:19:17,852 --> 00:19:19,070
No, son, you go.

442
00:19:19,114 --> 00:19:20,768
All right, this is my fault.

443
00:19:20,811 --> 00:19:22,204
If I had listened
to your suggestions,

444
00:19:22,248 --> 00:19:24,467
we wouldn't be here
in the first place.

445
00:19:24,511 --> 00:19:26,034
I just got carried away.

446
00:19:26,077 --> 00:19:29,298
It's okay, man. You were
just trying to make it fun.

447
00:19:29,342 --> 00:19:31,431
The same way you did
when you built ours.

448
00:19:31,474 --> 00:19:32,736
Thanks.

449
00:19:32,780 --> 00:19:34,782
And I shouldn't have
called you soft,

450
00:19:34,825 --> 00:19:36,392
because you're not.

451
00:19:36,436 --> 00:19:38,220
You mean that?

452
00:19:38,264 --> 00:19:39,917
Yeah. I mean,

453
00:19:39,961 --> 00:19:41,702
the way you kept your cool
and figured out

454
00:19:41,745 --> 00:19:43,617
a way to get us out of here,

455
00:19:43,660 --> 00:19:45,271
there's nothing soft about that.

456
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,577
Thanks, Dad.

457
00:19:47,621 --> 00:19:49,797
Bring it in, son.

458
00:19:50,885 --> 00:19:52,452
All right, whoa,
whoa, whoa, okay.

459
00:19:52,495 --> 00:19:54,715
Bring it out, bring it out!

460
00:19:59,807 --> 00:20:02,853
Okay, okay, Dad, I'm going.

461
00:20:02,897 --> 00:20:04,725
I'll see you
on the ground.

462
00:20:04,768 --> 00:20:06,944
One way or the other.

463
00:20:09,295 --> 00:20:11,297
[muttering]

464
00:20:14,822 --> 00:20:16,606
Damn.

465
00:20:16,650 --> 00:20:19,348
Why did I let Dave go first?

466
00:20:26,703 --> 00:20:29,445
You were right, this is a much
better idea than the one I had.

467
00:20:29,489 --> 00:20:31,534
True. Although I would've
loved to see my dad try

468
00:20:31,578 --> 00:20:33,971
to Mary Poppins his way down
with your beach umbrella.

469
00:20:34,015 --> 00:20:36,322
Calvin, you okay up there?

470
00:20:36,365 --> 00:20:38,976
Yeah, but I'm running out
of time!

471
00:20:39,020 --> 00:20:40,761
When's that umbrella coming?

472
00:20:40,804 --> 00:20:42,415
Okay... change of plans.

473
00:20:42,458 --> 00:20:44,286
We've got some mattresses
for you to land on!

474
00:20:44,330 --> 00:20:46,593
[tree house crackling, rumbling]

475
00:20:47,898 --> 00:20:49,465
Dad, you got to jump now!

476
00:20:49,509 --> 00:20:52,381
A squirrel just did
and I think he knows something.

477
00:20:54,905 --> 00:20:57,517
All right, here I come!

00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,260

you're the Black Bruce Willis.
