Yeah. No, get back.

I'm fine, Mom. Yeah.

Yeah.

No. Mom, I have to get in bed now.

Okay. Goodbye.

Mom, I'm sick.

Mom, I don't need to go to the doctor!

Mom, I only had a fever of 99 today.

Okay, and a half.

Okay, Mom. Okay, 'bye.

I've got to throw up. Mom, please.

I'm gonna throw up on the phone

if you don't let me go.

'Bye. Mom, I've got to throw up now.

Yeah....

You could drown in stuff like this.

Is this your idea of a good time?

''There are so many people to see

''So many people you can check upon

and add to your collection

''But they keep you hanging on

''Nothing but health sh*t

''Add to your collection

but they keep you hanging on''

Mike, come in.

How you feeling, faker?

I'm feeling fine.

I got something really important--

Tyler said he got 69,000 on Asteroids yesterday...

-...but he pulled the plug.

-Look, remember the goblin?

You're so lame, Elliott.

Come on, Michael. He came back.

He came back?

He came back?

Oh, my God!

One thing.

I have absolute power.

Say it.

-Say it!

-What have you got? Is it the coyote?

No. Look....

Okay. Now, swear it.

The most excellent promise you can make.

Swear as my only brother on our lives.

Don't get so heavy. I swear.

Okay. Stand over there.

You'd better take off

your shoulder pads.

You might scare him.

And close your eyes.

Don't push it, Elliott.

I'm not coming out there

until your eyes are closed.

Okay. They're closed.

Mom is going to kill you.

Okay. Swear it one more time.

-I have absolute power.

-You have absolute power.

Elliott! Look what I made for you!

Stop!

Kids, I'm home!

Guys?

In the closet, fast.

Anybody up there, kids?

Anybody home?

Hi, honey, how are you feel--

What happened in here?

You mean my room.

This is no room.

This is an accident.

I was reorganizing.

I can see that.

Put those shelves back on the wall.

Get the toys off the floor.

Make your bed since you are not using it.

You're feeling better, I see.

Will you guys watch Gertie for me

while I take a shower?

Absolutely.

'Bye, Mom.

Elliott...

I'm keeping him.

What is it?

He won't hurt you, Gertie.

He won't hurt you, Gertie.

We're not going to hurt you.

Is he a boy or a girl?

He's a boy.

Was he wearing any clothes?

No.

But, look, you can't tell.

Not even Mom.

Why not?

Because grownups can't see him.

Only little kids can see him.

Give me a break.

Well, do you know what's going

to happen if you do tell?

Do it, Mike! We have to!

No, please!

I'll do anything, please!
