I have a legal contract with

megtaf, stipulating my son have

as normal a life as

humanly possible.

Barnes:
And that's exactly

what I'm doing, Margaret.

Your son's a fine kid, especially

for a boy without a father.

I'd be happy to give you my two cents

about him over dinner sometime.

Margaret:
Ah.

Barnes:
A son of a buck!

Margaret:
[Gasps]

Duncan:
[Chuckles]

Not bad, huh?

Very interesting.

Margaret:
Oh, baby.

Barnes:
It's an old

gag, a classic.

The flash powder ignites on contact and...

poof!... Fireworks.

You can buy it at any

decent magic shop.

Troy:
What?

That is such a load of bullcrap!

The freak's mouth shot flames!

Ugh!

Troy, we have discussed school

policy on name-calling.

And, Duncan, your prank could

have ended in serious injury.

Troy:
No, I-it did!

My eyebrows were

totally burned off!

Troy, no offense, but I've had you in here

so many times, your name should be on that

chair on a brass plaque.

Now, since you're both at

fault, you can either choose

suspension, or work together

to clean up the damage.

Your call.

Troy:
Oh, yeah, right!

Like I'm gonna do

anything with that yob?

Duncan:
[Exhales sharply]

Look, Troy, um... I'm truly ashamed of my

thoughtless, dangerous, and immature prank.

I'm sorry.

Troy:
Are you kidding me?

I know what I saw.

You are some kind of freak.

Just stay away from me.

Isabel:
Could've told you

how that one would go.

So, you coming to the big party

on berkshire Lane Saturday?

Duncan:
I wasn't

invited to any party.

Isabel:
Nobody was.

It's a "someone's parents are out of town"

party, where everybody just shows up.

Duncan:
Uh, yeah, I-it's not

really my kind of scene.

I-I'm not totally comfortable.

Isabel:
Oh, come on.

You just tried to shake

hands with Troy Adams.

This is like 10 times

easier than that.

[Indistinct conversations]

Jenna:
Guys, seriously,

it was in my locker.

When I got back,

it was just gone.

Why were you keeping the money

in your locker, anyway, Jenna?

[Scoffs]

Isabel:
About that party...

Everyone is going, seriously.

Everyone.

Duncan:
Uh...

Maybe I might stop by.

[Crickets chirping]

[Dog barking]

[Owl hooting]

Duncan:
Hmm.

Margaret:
Duncan rosenblatt.

Duncan:
[Clears throat]

Margaret:
Where do you

think you're going?

Duncan:
Well, uh, it's like this...

I'm kind of going to a, um, party.

Margaret:
You were

invited to a party?

Oh, I'm so happy.

Duncan:
Your confidence in my

people skills is overwhelming, mom.

Anyway, it's probably going to be a couple

of dorks sitting around playing video

games.

Margaret:
Well, I

hope you have fun.

[Sighs]

[Tires screech]

[Dog barking]

[Electronic music playing]
