[silence]

[wind blowing, birds chirping]

- [O.S.] I dunno,

he just seems to be working us a lot harder lately.

Like, practices are getting a lot rougher

and just, like, a lot of exercise and a lot of running.

You know how I love running.

I dunno.

Yeah, I heard there was a party going on tonight,

I dunno if I want to go.

I don't know if I want to sit around Robbie's basement

while you guys make out in the laundry room.

Which Mark, Mark Mendola?

It doesn't matter. I'm babysitting.

Yes, again.

I dunno maybe.

How late are you gonna be hanging out?

- Hi, sorry. - I gotta go.

- Do you know where the post office is?

- Uh, the post office?

Uh, I'm not real good with directions, uh...

Oh, hey.

Can you help this lady get to the post office?

- Are you Anna? - Uh... Yeah!

[struggling, screaming]

[light piano music]

¶¶

[video games playing]

- [O.S.] Jacob can you come down here?

Your dad should be home any minute with a new sitter.

Get down here and help me with your brother.

- Bye, Mom!

- Hi.

You must be Anna.

- And you're Mr. Thompson?

- Yeah, yeah, call me Dan though.

- It's so nice to meet you.

- Yeah, Maggie has been a lot less reliable

since she got her braces off.

I dunno what's going on with that.

It's me and my wife's anniversary tonight,

so you're really saving our butts here.

- Aw, happy anniversary.

- Thank you. Thank you.

So, the kids have had play dates with the Abbott girls.

Ashley and - what's the little quiet one's name?

Um...

I forget.

- I just call them Sleepy and Grumpy.

- [laughs] Sleepy and Grumpy, that's good.

Yeah, well, our kids, they tend to be more energetic.

They're good kids, great kids.

They're just...woo!

And then there's-- then there's our oldest.

He's 11, he just started middle school

and you know, and... stones are dropping.

You know what I mean?

- That's okay, I can handle an 11 year old.

- Yeah, Maggie said you were quite the child herder.

You got a Facebook page and everything.

- Did you see my page? - No, no. I don't um...

I barely go on the computer.

Yeah, I don't have one of those. It's a little too much sharing.

But Joyce might've.

- And what age are the other two?

- Uh, Sally just turned 9, she just had her birthday.

And Christopher is 4.

He's a-- He's a cute little guy.

He won't give you much of a problem.

- They're good ages.

[yelling]

- Give it back, Christopher! - Boys, slow it down.

[yelling continues]

- Mama? - Mm-hmm.

- Is the new babysitter a girl?

- Yes, she's a girl.

- Because I like it when I'm not the only one all the time.

- You can't catch me! - Guys!

[yelling, rough housing]

- You guys. No, no, no. No jumping.

Come on, keep it downstairs.

Jacob! Hey!

[thud]

Jacob!

- I'm okay, Mommy.

- Little idiot! - Jacob.

- You know what?

- What?

- Hand it over.

Jacob!

- Hand it over! - He won't leave me alone!

The kid won't leave me alone, it's not my fault.

- Give me the game.

Till the weekend.

- For what?!

- I can't keep doing this with you.

You want me to keep paying for babysitters

till you're in college?

- Yes.

- Like it or not, you're the big brother,

and I need you step up.

You're not a little anymore.

- Jakey's gotta take care of us.

- Shut it, meat bag.

- Hey!

- [two-way radio] Hey Jake. Jake you there?

Pick up!

- Hey. yeah. Howie. What do you want?

- Wanna come watch me play the new Dark Realm?

- Uh, no, no, I can't. Getting babysat tonight.

- Ooh... Maggie's coming over?

She so fine now she got her braces off.

- Uh, no, not Maggie. Someone new.

Her best friend or something.

- My mom lets me watch my sister after school

till she gets home from work

and I'm born three months after you.

- Good for you.

- Hey, so, remember how my cousins went on vacation

to Nevada?

Well they brought me back something

that's gonna blow your hole.

- What is it?

- I stashed it in your tree house.

Meet me there after bedtime.

- Alright.

I'll think about it.

- Over and out.

[door opens] - Hon?

Hon, how we doing?

Hon?

Okay.

- Hi, I'm Joyce.

- Hi.

It's so nice to meet you. Your house is beautiful.

- Sorry it's kinda a mess.

- I'll be right down. - Okay.

- Can I get a hug before we go? - Daddy!

- Miss you. - Thank you. I'll miss you, too.

- You smell funny, Dad.

- It's cologne. Your mom got it for me.

- What's cologne?

- It's like perfume for daddies. - Yeah.

- Okay, guys.

This is Anna, she's your babysitter for tonight.

- Anna! - Hi.

- I'm Sally. - And I'm Christopher!

- That's my brother Christopher.

- Hey, Christopher.

- Beep, beep, beep.

- Oh, who's that guy?

- That's Glow Nose.

- Glow nose. Okay.

- He was my-- - He was my--

- No, he was Jake's,

when he was a little kid, and then he was Sally's,

and now he's mine.

- He looks like he's had a lot of love.

- Yes, he does.

[footsteps approaching]

- Chris and Sal are babies.

I don't need her here.

- You know, this a really special night

for your mom and me.

- When are you gonna be back?

- [O.S] Jake's gonna be in trou-ble.

Ha-ha, ha, ha-ha!

- You'll be asleep.

[O.S.] Get downstairs and meet the new sitter.

- They already ate dinner

but if they get hungry they can have a snack.

There's cookies, crackers, gummies are in the cupboard.

There should be some baby carrots in the crisper.

Yes, there are...

-I left the number for the restaurant-- - I have a pet hamster.

- And the number for my cell phone.

- His name's Admiral Wubbles.

- Yeah? You'll have to introduce me.

Do the kids have their own phones?

- "No cell phones till high school."

- That's right, family rule.

But feel free to call my cell anytime, with any questions.

- Okay.

- He's coming down. - Daddy!

- What else does she need to know?

- Ah, let's see.

They will probably try to convince you

to let them play in the garage.

Do not let them.

- What's in the garage?

- A '73 Corvette Stingray coupe that I restored myself.

So...

- Nice. - Yeah.

- Yeah, I had it bored and stroked to a 383.

Got about 400 horsepower in that--

- I thought we were in a rush?

- Yeah, yeah we are.

And we're taking the minivan.

- So, bedtime is nine o'clock.

Jacob can stay up till 9:30 but only to read.

They so should go down easy

because we had soccer practice today.

This one had ballet.

- Any allergies or medications I should know about?

- Ah... No, nothing like that.

- Nope, good genes.

- You have to watch Christopher brush his teeth.

Otherwise he just eats the toothpaste.

- Ah. There he is.

This is Jake, our oldest.

Jake, this is Anna, the new sitter.

- Hi, Jake.

- Say hello.

- Hey.

- A wealth of conversation.

He's mad at me because I took away his -

what is it called, hand-held DX thing.

- Oh.

- Okay, where is my good coat? Is it upstairs or where is it?

- Right in front of you.

- Alright kids, gather around.

Where's Christopher? Christopher!

- It's your anniversary!

- Say goodnight. - Goodnight.

- Nighty night!

- Alright, listen up you three:

Anna here is in charge, okay?

You be good and do what she says.

Capiche?

- Ka-peach.

Ka-peach, ka-peach, ka-peach!

- Good night, guys.

- Good night.

- Home by eleven. - Yeah.

- Enjoy your meal. Happy anniversary!

- Thank you.

- Bye guys, I love you! - Love you.

- [O.S.] Love you, too!

- What shall we play?

- Do you want to draw? - No.

- What do you want to do?

We could play board games?

[engine starts]

We could do make-up.

- No! I'm a boy!

- Can we get ice cream?

Um... Oh, let's play dress-up!

Yes, let's play dress-up!

- You coming, Jacob?

- Don't bother.

Jacob never plays with us anymore.

- Dress-up's for girls, Chris.

- Okay, what dress should I wear?

- This one, this one, or this one? - That one!

- Which? - This one.

- Right? - That's awesome!

- That's the best darn dress that I ever saw!

- And then she becomes queen.

And so then they can't decide who's gonna be queen again--

- So why don't they play 'rock paper scissors says shoot?'

- They can't play rock paper scissors. - Oh yeah.

- And so then they decide

that they're both gonna rule together.

- Hey guys.

What if I told you that you don't have to be a boy,

or a girl, or a human, or really anything?

You can be whatever you wanted.

And all you had to do was pretend.

Because Pretending is this super power we all have.

When we pretend,

we can be anyone we want to be.

And if you get really good at it,

people won't even know you're pretending anymore.

- I wanna play pretend!

- Okay.

[distant yelling] [footsteps approaching]

Cool room.

- It's alright.

- Lemur-boy, huh?

You ever read Death Vice?

- No.

Mom and Dad say it's too violent.

- Well, your parents aren't here right now,

are they?

See ya later?

- I never feel great leaving them with someone

we don't know.

- I thought Anna seemed like a very nice girl.

- Yeah, I noticed.

- The kids are gonna be fine, okay?

Jan Abbott said that Anna is great with her girls

and we both know that they're nightmares.

Tonight's about us.

Thirteen years.

Our marriage is a teenager.

I think we deserve a night off.

- I agree.

- New dress? - Yes.

- Now you notice.

- I, I noticed before.

It just took a little while for the polaroid to develop.

- Thank you.

- I am Princess Petalsong.

My leaves are vibrant, my fruit is tart,

and my roots run deep.

She's from Enchanted Forest.

On Toon Tube?

Mommy bought it for me.

It's my favorite show.

- Rarr!

- Wow, what a big scary Bronto!

Look how the floor shakes when he moves.

- What the heck?!

Were those Mommy's good pillows?

- Rarr!

- What'd you stuff it with?

- Sweatshirts.

- Now this is Pretending.

Not some out-of-a-bag get-up your mom bought you.

- He ruined Mommy's good pillows!

- Sometimes it's okay to destroy things for fun.

Good job, Christosaurus.

- Jacob!

Daddy's old uniform!

- Jacob's gonna do pretend with us!

- Leave me alone.

- Just get offa.

- Anna, we're not allowed to play with this stuff.

- Well Sal, Mom and Dad aren't here, are they?

- That's right.

- No fair.

- Hey, you were supposed to be pretending

to be something, too!

- I already am.

- Whatdya mean?

- I'm a photographer!

Yeah, I travel around the world taking photos of amazing creatures.

Hey Christopher, what do dinosaurs do?

- Sit down and eat meat!

- [chuckles] That's right.

Smile.

Alright, give us a twirl, Princess.

Beautiful.

Stand up.

Come on, big boy.

Alright stand together.

Raise that trophy over your head.

But not like you're victorious,

like you're going to smash it on top of her.

Sally, stop smiling.

Stop smiling.

Good.

[ominous music]

[camera clicks]

- Did you do this?

- Yeah, I did that.

- When did you have time to do that?

- I had enough time on my lunch break

to run them here from Vinnie's.

- Vinnie! - Remember Vinnie?

- Vinnie.

- Vinnie was 75 when we first met him.

- How old is he? - Vinnie was 75.

- So he's a 104 now.

[laughing]

- Remember what he said?

- I don't remember what he said.

- "Red is for the passion.

White is for the longevity."

- That's right.

- We got that.

- We got them both.

- [O.S.] I don't want to play this anymore.

- Yeah, let's play a different game.

- Alright.

How about Hide & Seek? Not it!

- Not it! - Not it!

- Jake's it!

- No. No, no, I'm not playing.

I'm not-- I'm not playing.

I don't want to play.

[humming]

- You found me.

Jake?

Jacob?

Hey.

Hey, will you find me a new tampon?

- A what?

- I have my period.

You know what that is, right?

- Yeah.

- So, where does your mom keep her stuff?

- This?

- No, that's for when your mom has an infection.

Look for 'Pamtax.'

- Which color?

- Green.

Can you open it for me?

- Okay.

- Thank you.

[toilet flushes]

[door slams shut]

- Oh man!

- [two-way radio] Jake.

Come in, Jake.

Jake!

Jake.

Come in, bro.

Dude, you gotta come see this stuff.

- Howie...

- [O.S] Yo.

- I think I just saw my first China Hole.

- You know eventually we're going to have to have

'the talk' with him.

- What talk?

- 'The talk'.

- Yeah. - No.

- Yeah. - I don't want to think about that.

- I don't even like picturing him with armpit hair.

- You know the little Stevie kid down the street, - Mm-hmm.

- he's got the little starter mustache going on.

- Starter mustache... - Yeah.

- It's just a weird time,

especially when you're the last one to sprout.

- You think they're making fun of him?

- Mm-mm.

- They better not be.

I will punch them in the face if they're making fun of my baby.

- Joyce...

- He's my baby!

- Well your baby has a pretty interesting browsing history.

- Hey! Give it back!

- I already dipped the feet!

- Anna!

Tell him to give it back!

- Don't be a drama queen, Sally.

- Yeah, Sal. Really?

- Christopher! - Just get a different cookie.

- Chill out, okay?

- But I had a whole cookie family

and then the Papa was about to take them to the pond,

and now no one else can drive stick!

- Anyone can drive stick.

- There's a whole package of cookies here, so...

Pick a different Papa.

- Yeah, pick a different one.

- Yeah Sal, there's a whole pack of cookies.

Yep, look at all of these--

- Jacob!

- Mmm. So many cookies.

- Anna! Do something!

- Lots of options.

- Can I have one?

Please.

- I want juice.

- You have juice.

- I want that juice.

- Go get it yourself.

- Okay.

- You know now that your DNA is all over those cookies...

I guess you're gonna have to eat all of them.

- No fair!

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

I mean it.

Eat them all.

Go.

- What?

- They yummy?

- Mmm. - This is a loada b!

- Can I have some milk?

- Not till you finish those cookies.

- Best babysitter...

- Hey, what's your favorite color?

- Black.

- Black? - Yeah.

That's my favorite color, too.

Hey, how about we go cheer up your sister?

- Yeah.

[eerie music]

¶¶

- Aw man, which of you guys put the wrong cap on the marker?

- How's that masterpiece coming?

- Good.

- It's the right one. - Uh-uh.

- See there's blue under the green cap.

And now I've got a blue flower stem.

Hey, Jacob.

- If you open your mind I'll tell you-- - Fascinating.

- So, this the flower queen.

- Queen!

- And then this is the princess.

- Who is the king?

- There isn't a king. - Wow. The royal family.

- It's a queendom.

[humming]

- Hey Anna, check this out.

- Yeah.

- Wow. Christopher, what's this?

- Attack of the Killer Olives!

- What happened to that guy?

- You mean this guy? - Mm-hmm.

- He got stepped on by the monster's toe claw.

That's the toe claw

and this where he chewed off his legs and arms.

- Hey Anna, wanna help me feed my python?

- Can we come, too?! - I don't wanna go.

- No, you guys know the rules.

Just me and Anna.

- Please? - Yeah he's right.

- We're too little.

- You know, that's just rude.

- Fine.

- We'll all go. - I don't wanna go.

- Come on.

- No. I'm not going.

I don't wanna see the python!

Please!

I wanna finish the stain!

[microwave beeping]

- Can I hold the mouse? - No.

- Please. - Nope.

- Can I feed the snake? - Nope.

- Why not?

- Because you suck. - Hey. Jake.

- In the wild, these animals are hunters.

They always devour their prey alive.

Warm.

This is cold.

But this...

is warm.

- Admiral Wubbles?

- Mm-hmm.

What's he doing here?

- Tonight I think Drake deserves a special treat.

- Cool!

- No. No, nope.

- Drake's gonna eat Sally's hamster?

- No, he is not!

- You know, I've never seen Drake eat anything

that big, Sal.

- That's not funny!

- Let's see.

- No!

- Hey!

- Yeah, yeah, you wanna get him?

- Get out the way! Move it, Jacob!

- Is that what you want? Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Nope. No. Can't get pass me.

- Christopher, what are you-- - No, no, no! Christopher, no!

[gasps]

- Get him out!

Stop! Stop!

Get him outta there, Jake!

- Yeah, we should get him out-- - Wait.

- Just watch.

- He's scared.

No!

Get him out!

Let go!

Get off of me!

Do something, Jake! Please!

Let go!

Ah!

[crying]

[dramatic music]

¶¶

[squealing]

No!

- I'm sorry, Sal.

- Don't be sorry.

Everyone dies at some point.

[music continues]

¶¶

- Okay, I'm really bad at keeping this secret.

I was gonna wait till dessert

but since you busted out the champagne...

Happy anniversary.

- Oh, ho, ho, alright.

Coupons for those mittens that I wanted to get, right?

- Slippers? - Open it.

[laughs]

The NASCAR Sprint Cup?!

- Two seats.

'Pit Terrace,' the guy aid those were the best.

- Yeah. Yeah.

They are the best.

How did you...

- How did you even-- - Don't worry about it.

- I've been putting away for this for a while.

I got hooked up.

And you deserve it.

You deserve it.

- You're the best.

[eerie music]

¶¶

You know who's gonna freak out about this?

Pete.

He's gonna flip his lid when he hears about this.

He's been talking about this for three or four months now.

- I was kinda thinking you might take, Jake.

- Yeah. Of course...

- It's stupid of me-- - It's not stupid.

- to not think about taking Jake. I just...

- You just haven't had a lot of time together lately.

I think he needs it.

And I thought that would be a fun way to spend time together.

- Screw Pete.

[crying]

- Hey.

Come on, look who's here.

Look who's here.

You want him?

It's okay.

We'll get more Wubbles.

Wipe away the tears.

Wipe away them!

Come on, wipe away those tears.

Where's the big Sally I know, where is she?

Where is the old Sal?

Soaked.

Where is the old Sally I know?

Where is she, is she still here?

- Kids, movie time.

- Come on. It's movie time!

It's movie time.

- Come on. - What arce we watching?

[footsteps approaching]

- I hate movies.

- [on video] I don't know what's wrong,

it won't turn off...

- No, you're with me.

- Jake, where are you going?

- Bathroom.

- It's Mommy!

- That's not Mommy.

- [video] What are you doing to me?

Oh my god.

- [video] Just trying out the camera.

- [video] Get over here. I want to take your pants off.

- Daddy's naked!

- [video] Oh my god.

- [video] Oh my god, you're so hard right now.

- [O.S.] Jacob!

- [O.S.] Jacob!

[moaning on video]

[heavy breathing on video]

- Howie?

Howie?

- [walkie talkie] Go to bed, Jacob.

- Mrs. Parker?

- Howie's had his walkie taken away.

Supposed to be doing his homework

and he's out doing god-knows-what.

Go to bed, Jacob.

[walking talkie beeps]

- Mrs. Parker, there's something wrong with the new babysitter.

[heavy breathing on video]

Mrs. Parker?!

Crap...

[heavy breathing continues]

[moaning on video]

[heavy breathing continues]

That's private!

- Alright.

Well, I think it's time for bed.

Come on, babe.

[sighs]

"Once upon a time in a faraway land

lived a Mama Bear and her little Cubbie.

[baby cooing, humming]

They lived in a cave in a snowy forest.

Mama Bear loved her Cubbie so much.

He made her smile in a way

Mama Bear never thought she could.

- Mama Bear worked very--" - This book is strange.

- You're strange, Sally.

- "Mama Bear worked very hard to pay for--"

- It's my night to pick the story! - Then shut up and listen!

- Is that my mom's bracelet? - Get out!

- Get out! - You get out!

- "Mama Bear worked real hard to pay for food, and the cave.

When she came home at night

and saw her Cubbie's chubby little face,

it just made it all worth it.

[baby cooing]

And then one day Mama Bear made a mistake

[baby choking]

and her Cubbie died.

This made Mama Bear very sad.

She missed her Cubbie so much

that her mind cracked.

It didn't break, it didn't break.

It just cracked.

And then Mama met a Skinny Hyena.

His mind was cracked worse than Mama Bear's

but he liked her a real lot

and said he'd help her make a new Cubbie,

but it didn't work.

Mama Bear's insides were twisted shut

and the rulers of the kingdom wouldn't give Mama Bear

a new Cubbie,

even when she asked nice."

- That's mean.

- I think so, too.

"Mama Bear and the Skinny Hyena were angry

and they got into some trouble,

so they decided to escape to a new land

and become new animals.

And began their search for a new Cubbie.

But it couldn't just be any Cubbie.

It had to be her Cubbie.

And then they searched..."

- What happens next?

- I don't know.

What do you think should happen?

- I want Mama Bear to find a new Cubbie

so that she can smile like that again.

- She's trying.

Jacob, Sally, time for bed!

- Hey Sal.

- Shh.

- Sal, what are you doing? Get into your PJs.

- It's Daddy's gun.

- Don't.

- The babysitter left it out.

[humming]

- [O.S.] She's no babysitter.

No real babysitter would give us a gun to play with

[O.S.] or show us private movies.

Her name's not even Anna.

- [O.S.] What?

- It's Emelie.

- Who's Emelie?

- You're a liar

and I know it.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

Are you gonna shoot me?

Shoot me.

Shoot me!

- What you guys doing?

- Nothing.

- Give me the gun.

- Can't you just leave us alone?

- I'm not gonna say it twice.

Christopher.

- Christopher!

- Hey. Hey.

- It's not a toy, Christopher!

- Hey, gimme the gun.

- No escape from Chase Hunter.

- Give Mommy the gun.

[gun clicks]

[chuckles]

- I knew it was you.

[doorbell rings]

No!

Hey! No, no, no, no.

Stop. Stop!

Stop.

Okay?

Inside.

Christopher?

Christopher!

I do not know who that is

but I do not want to hear one word

about all the games we've been playing.

Okay, now I've been nice to you guys so far--

- You haven't been nice at all.

- That is what happens when you misbehave.

Now I want you to stay here and be quiet until I come back,

do you understand?

Do you understand!

[doorbell rings]

- Who are you?

- I'm the babysitter.

- Um, no you're not.

- Of course I am. Who are you?

- I'm Maggie.

You know, the Thompson's usual sitter?

See, I was supposed to watch the kids tonight

but this guy I know that goes to college asked

if I wanted to hang out

and I've been really wanting to hang out with him

so I couldn't say no, right.

So I called my friend Anna to see if she could babysit for me

and she said she would

and I've been texting to see how it's been going

but Anna hasn't gotten back to me which is weird

because she's like the most promptest text backer ever--

- It's Maggie!

- Maggie...

- [O.S.] and the last thing she posted

was that she was coming here

and since then she hasn't posted anything

so I just thought I'd like come by on my way back

to make sure everything's okay but then like,

you're here and she's not and I'm kinda like,

WTF is going on.

- [O.S.] Right, Maggie.
