- So, what do you kids think

of the new Thirsty War

smoothie menu?

- I think it's

a shameless attempt

to make money off the new

"Hungry Wars" movie

that's coming out this weekend.

- And you would be correct.

That's why you're taking over

the family business someday.

- You know,

I do have some ideas--

- I said someday.

- Oh, I see you named a smoothie

after Ganderk the Great.

- Who's Ganderk the Great?

- Only the most powerful Gnome

Fairy in all of Gardenia.

- And maybe the entire

Middle Universe?

- And their favorite

"Hungry Wars" character.

- Oh, two Ganderk the Grape

smoothies, please.

- That Ganderk dude

has cool hair.

Just like Dicky the Grape.

- You just called yourself

a grape.

- I know.

- Ooh, Mr. Harper.

Not to nitpick,

but you spelled Ganderk wrong.

And also, in the last movie,

Ganderk is poisoned by grapes,

so this is a double fail.

- You're a double fail!

Sorry, I'm just-- I worked

really hard on this menu...

which is also spelled wrong.

Give me back those 'manus'.

- You two kids sure know a lot

about "Hungry Wars."

- Yep, that's why we made a pact

to go see the new movie

together.

We are "Hungry Wars"

movie buddies.

- Secret Ganderk battle cry!

both: Ganderk!

- Knock it off, you Gan-dorks.

Derek Moses just walked in.

- Look at him.

- He's so cool.

- Cooler than

Monday night bingo.

- He might be the coolest kid in

school, but I'm a close second.

Very close.

Check this out.

Moses, my man.

Grab a seat.

- No, thanks.

I prefer to stand.

It's one of my

ten cool-mandments.

Always be

slightly above the crowd.

- Let me try this.

[exhales sharply]

Oh, he's good.

- So, what's the

small talk du jour?

- Whoa, he speaks French.

- We're talking "Hungry Wars."

- Yeah, we're seeing it tonight.

- Ooh, Dawn and Mack.

This sounds serious.

- No, it's nothing like that.

- And what's it like?

I'm getting a small whiff

of something uncool here.

Wait.

[sniffs]

You're not going with

your parents, are you?

- No, it is definitely

not like that.

- Good, 'cause that

would be breaking

Moses's cool-mandment

number one:

never see a movie

with your parents.

- Please, we are way past that.

We go to the mall without our

parents, we stay home alone.

- We're very evolved.

- We're hardly ever

around our parents.

- Don't your parents

own this place?

- Ah, we just hang out here

for free smoothies.

- You're lying.

But in a cool way.

Speaking of cool,

I'm going to leave you guys with

cool-mandment number six:

always use your name

in your exit line.

Moses has to goses.

[clicks tongue]

- He's as cool as a loafer

in October.

- Two grape smoothies.

- Oh, hey, Mom, don't forget.

Mack and I are going to see

"Hungry Wars" tonight.

- Yep, we can't wait.

- For what?

To drop me off?

- No, to see "Hungry Wars"

with you guys.

- With who guys?

- You guys.

- It sounds like

you're saying, "You guys."

- We are.

Look, you're not old enough

to go to the movies with a boy

by yourself, silly.

- But it's not a boy-girl thing.

It's a movie buddy thing, silly.

- Now it's a movie buddy

family thing.

- Yeah, we're going to take

the boys and make a night of it.

- Which boys?

- You boys.

- Who boys?

- You boys.

all: Oh, boy.

- There is no way

I'm going to the movies with

Mack, Mom, and Dad.

- Me, neither.

I mean, it'd be breaking

Moses's cool-mandment.

- If anyone sees me,

then I won't be

the second-coolest kid

in school anymore.

- And I won't be the 47th.

We'll be laughing stocks.

- Okay, let's all stop pacing.

That's it, I have to

text him and cancel.

"Mack, I'm sorry, but I'm sick

and I can't go tonight.

[coughs]

Let's see 'Hungry Wars'

again soon, movie buddy."

[coughs]

And send.

There, crisis averted.

- Did you type your coughs?

- Of course, it makes it

more believable.

- Who's ready to get hungry?

- Harper family movie night.

[blows horn]

- Uh, guys?

Sorry to ruin whatever that is,

but Mack had to cancel,

so guess we'll just

have to stay home.

Not see him

or any of our other friends.

- Aw, man.

- What a bummer.

- Disappointment.

- Don't be disappointed.

We'll just go without Mack.

- Yeah.

Harper family movie night.

[blows horn]

- But I promised Mack I wouldn't

see "Hungry Wars" without him,

and I can't break

my movie buddy pact, so...

- Oh, oh, totally get it.

Oh, don't worry, kids.

all: Aah.

- We'll just see something else.

- Yeah.

- [all gasping]

- We got to do something.

- Uh, you know what's better

than seeing something else?

Seeing something else

somewhere else.

Like a different movie theater.

- That's a great idea.

- So instead of going

to our usual theater,

why don't we go check out

that new movie theater

all the way over

in Fort Collins...

[whispers] where no one

we know will see us.

- That is a great idea.

- Harper family movie night

and road trip.

[sputters]

- I don't know.

Fort Collins is pretty far.

- I heard they have

a popcorn booth you stand in.

It blows popcorn all around you.

Anything you catch, you eat.

- Anne, get the keys.

- No, but Tom--

- Anne, keys, now.

[upbeat music]

♪ ♪

- Man, this place was far.

- And totally worth it.

Behold,

the Popcornado.

- Ricky, I got to admit,

movie theater road trip

was an impressive idea.

- I do put the imp

in impressive.

- And the best part is,

Mom and Dad can embarrass us

all they want,

'cause we're in a place

where no one knows us.

- Except Natlee.

- And Dooley.

- And Xander.

And Callie and Tessa.

- Everyone knows us!

- This was a terrible plan.

- All right, just calm down.

We don't want to draw attention

to ourselves.

- Six tickets to

"Triassic Jungle."

Can I get a Harper family

movie night?

[blows horn]

- She brought the horn.

- We got to get them in the

theater before she blows again.

- Oh.

Hey, Mom, the theater's

filling up.

We should probably get in there.

- Come on, Dad.

- But I'm in line

for the Popcornado.

- If we don't hurry up,

all the good seats will be gone.

- And you know how

you hate sitting in the back of

the theater.

- And then you get all whiney.

- The kids are right, Tom.

You do get a little whiney when

you don't get what you want.

- But we got a half hour

till the movie starts.

I want to go into

the Popcornado now...

Oh, I see what you mean.

- Tell you what, if you hurry

and get us good seats,

we'll save your spot

in the Popcornado line.

- Here, take our coats

and save our seats.

- Oh. Oh.

Okay.

- All right now, run along now,

last one to the theater's

a rotten egg.

- We're adults.

We don't care about being

the rotten egg, right, Anne?

I'm always the rotten egg.

- Okay, as long as they're

in there and we're out here,

we're good.

- Not good.

Mack is here.

- The whole school's here.

- Wait, is anybody else mad that

none of these people called us?

- I can't let Mack see me.

He'll know I lied.

Here, I'm going to go

into our theater.

You guys keep an eye on him and

text me if he's heading my way.

- Okay, quick quaddle.

What's the best way to follow

Mack without him seeing us?

- You guys having

a secret conversation?

- Uh, no.

We're not having

a secret conversation.

The more the merrier, buddy.

- Well, you see,

cool-mandment number three says

to always trust your gut,

and right now,

my gut's telling me you guys

are up to something uncool.

- No, this is just how we talk.

- Anyway, we have to get going.

- Why?

You're not here with

your parents, are you?

- What?

- No way.

- Parents are for kids.

We're just chilling

in the lobby.

- Trying to decide

which video games to play

to attract more sweet,

parentless honeys.

- The answer's simple:

whatever game Moses is playing.

Let's go.

[clicks tongue]

- [sighs]

- Check it out, Anne.

They have a lobby cam.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, this is--

Look at this amateur

in the Popcornado.

His technique is terrible.

He should be using his mouth,

like this.

You gotta...

- No, honey, don't.

Please, honey.

Oh, excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Those seats are taken.

Yeah.

- You're supposed to be saving

my spot in the Popcornado line.

- Oh, don't worry.

The boys are saving it.

- Really?

Because it looks like

they're playing video games.

- Which we both know

is not what they're

supposed to be doing.

Let me go take care of this.

- Mm.

- I give you guys one job.

And by the way,

Mom and Dad can totally

see you...

later.

'Cause they're certainly

not here with us now.

- What's going on?

You guys are all acting weird.

And Moses got a noses

for that kind of thing.

- This is how we always act.

You got to remember, we're not

nearly as cool as you.

- Speaking of things

that are not cool,

I just saw Mya and Gerald

Dinkler with carrot sticks.

- [gasps]

- Healthy snacks at the movies?

Moses opposes.

- Where's Mack?

You guys were supposed to be

keeping an eye on him.

- He's right there.

You're welcome.

- Wait, he's seeing

"Hungry Wars" without me?

- Well, if it makes you

feel any better,

I don't think he saw you.

- It doesn't make me

feel any better.

He broke our movie buddy pact.

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music]

- Mack and I had a movie pact.

- Here we go with

the pacing again.

- We were supposed to be

movie buddies.

- In his defense, you do have

a terrible text-cough.

- And he's not seeing it

at your usual theater

where you might have found out

and gotten upset.

That's pretty considerate.

- And you did lie to him first.

So I'm kind of Team Mack here.

- I lied to protect

our movie pact.

He broke it.

You know what?

I'm going in.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You don't want to face him

when you're this mad.

- Yeah.

Pace it off, mama.

- No.

I'm going to call him.

- That's a worse idea.

You know things don't

go well when you call angry.

- I believe the term

is Dawn-dialing.

- Yeah, remember last Christmas

when Aunt Gilda gave you that

juggling lesson as a gift?

And you thanked her with

a big, fat Dawn-dial.

- She still won't take

any of our calls.

- Who gives somebody one lesson?

You can't learn to juggle

in 45 minutes.

It can't be done.

- Just give me the phone, Dawn.

- Guys, don't worry.

This is not

an Aunt Gilda situation.

Voicemail.

I'm just going to express

my disappointment

and ask him to call me later

to discuss it.

Hey, Mack.

It's Dawn.

How's it going...

is what I would have said

if I wasn't so mad.

I can't believe you went

to "Hungry Wars" without me.

- Should have taken the phone.

- That's right, Mr.

I'm-gonna-go-to-Fort-Collins-

so-nobody-will-see-me.

I'm at the Brister Six

with my parents.

- At least she didn't say us.

- And my brothers.

- Hey, we made the message.

- And I just saw you

go into the movie

you and I made a pact

to see together.

But I guess our friendship

doesn't mean anything to you,

so guess what, mister?

You're no longer my movie buddy.

You are my movie...

enemy.

Dawn out.

What have I done?

- Classic Dawn-dial.

- That she dragged us into.

- Yeah, now everyone's

going to know we're here

with our parents, too.

We're doomed.

Thanks a lot, Dawn.

- Don't blame me.

You guys should have never

let me Dawn-dial.

You know what?

I'm going to call

all three of you right now

and tell you how angry I am.

- Dawn, stop.

- Oh, Mack's coming back out.

- Hey, I went into

the wrong theater.

Um, I'm not seeing

"Hungry Wars."

I mean, I want to, but I'd never

see it without my movie buddy.

Uh, where's "Triassic Jungle"?

Over there?

Thanks.

- Oh, no.

Mack's heading in our theater.

- Oh, this is bad.

- I have to delete that message

before he hears it.

You guys have to help me.

- This is not our problem.

You dialed your bed,

now you have to...

lie on your phone...

bed.

- That doesn't make any sense.

- I would have thought of

something that made more sense

but Aunt Gilda only gave me that

one improv lesson.

[exhales]

The point is, you have to

get Mack's phone yourself.

- Why do you need Mack's phone?

all: Aah!

- I didn't say Mack's phone.

I said Zach's cone.

- Yeah, our friend Zach

lost his cone

and we were helping him find it.

- What kind of cone?

- Ice cream.

- Dog.

- Snow.

- He's a cone guy.

- You know, my gut tells me

you guys are up to something,

and I'm going to find out

what's going on.

Moses is going to go

find Mack's phoneses.

- He doesn't knowses

where Mack goeses.

- Can we please stop rhyming?

- I supposes.

All right, just follow my lead.

Hurry, Mack went this way!

- Nice try, Harpers,

but Moses ain't slowses.

- He fell for it.

Okay, now stay closes--sorry.

Okay, there's Mack.

- Yeah.

- Right by Mom and Dad.

- How are we going to get his

phone without them seeing us?

- Lobby cam.

I got an idea.

Follow me.

- Should do it.

- Don't you think you should

just sit down at the end?

- [chuckles]

No need, Anne.

It's common theater etiquette

that an article of clothing

indicates a saved seat.

- Hmm, well, you might

want to tell that guy.

- The what--how--what--no, no.

I don't know what kind

of theater etiquette you're used

to, but in my America,

a sweater on a seat means,

"Get lost, hippie."

Let's move.

Come on.

What's going on?

Oh.

Dang it.

I'm C6.

- Yes!

- Aah.

Lucky Fort Collins kid.

Popcornado,

full head of hair.

Neither one's going to

last forever!

- Dicky, you're supposed to

dump the popcorn out.

- Why would I waste popcorn?

- Because now you can't

see anything.

- I can see clouds.

- That's popcorn.

- Sweet!

- Oh, here he comes.

- Hey, uh, I was called up here.

Seat A6.

- Yes.

You're the big winner.

- Who are you guys?

- Uh, Butterpop.

- Popcorn Peeps.

- Tub Buddies.

- This isn't about us.

This is about you.

It's prize time,

so let's get popping.

- Wait, why does that sign

say "back in ten"?

- Those are just instructions.

Back in and count to ten.

- Oh, and uh, give us

your phone so, you know,

we can take your picture.

- Oh, man, I wish my movie buddy

were here to see this.

- How's the plan going?

- Okay, in you go.

- Huh?

- Come on, delete.

- What's taking so long?

- My fingers are all buttery.

- My face is all buttery.

[Popcornado runs]

- Give it to me.

- No, give it to me.

I know it's you, Harpers.

- It is not us.

We are popcorn robots.

- Beep bop beep bop beep beep.

- Moses, what are you

doing with my phone?

- He doesn't have your phone.

We do!

Huddle!

- I know one of you has it.

- Yes, but which one?

Scatter!

- Hey.

- Not cool.

You Harpers broke

cool-mandment number one.

- Dawn, I thought you were sick.

You typed "cough"

and everything.

What's going on?

- When I asked my parents if I

could see "Hungry Wars" with you

they said only if

they chaperoned,

and I was too embarrassed to

break cool-mandment number one.

- So you put on a popcorn bucket

head and stole my phone?

- Only because when I saw you

go into "Hungry Wars"

I thought you were seeing it

without me,

and then I got kind of mad

and Dawn-dialed you.

- Like Aunt Gilda?

- Worse.

- I'm sorry, Mack.

I should have just

told you the truth.

- Thanks.

- For the record,

I was Team Mack all the way.

- None of this would have

happened if we hadn't been so

worried

about being seen at the movies

with our parents.

- Let's go.

Why don't you go sit

with your "friends?"

Hey, kids.

- Hi.

I only went into "Hungry Wars"

to see me with...

my Mom.

Sorry, Mom.

- You know,

I thought you guys were cool,
