You two are in very serious trouble!

Do you hear me?

Very serious trouble!

As a matter of fact, starting now,

you're both grounded.

No offense, guys, but

I think you are.

Grover! Stacy!

Good night.

Grover!

Will they be ready

by tomorrow morning?

I don't know, I hope so.

What do you think

they're going to do tonight?

Try to escape.

Morning.

Morning.

- Morning.

- Good morning.

- You guys ready to come out?

- Yes, honey.

We talked through most of our problems

last night

and we think we've solved them.

Yes, all of them, in fact.

This was a good idea.

Yes, we're fine. Really, we're fine now.

- Dad, is that true?

- Yeah, I can't believe it, but...

- It worked.

- Yeah, you should see us.

- Really?

- Yes.

- Swear to God?

- Swear to God.

Come on, we're fine now.

We're really happy.

You should see us.

So, what did you guys talk about?

Everything. What didn't we talk about?

- I need to be home more often.

- And I need to be less controlling

and organized.

And critical,

and I need to finish things that I start.

I'm actually not very critical.

You're critical.

- Of the two of us, I'd say...

- No, you're critical.

- When am I critical?

- You hate my hair.

I love the claw. I just can't touch it.

- Doesn't make me critical.

- It's not nice of you

to criticize the one thing

that I'm very sensitive about.

No. Wait! Stop! What are you doing?

You guys lied. You're not better at all.

Grover, let Mommy and...

Come on!

Let us out, damn it!

I got it!

- This is not funny!

- Wait! What about this?

Yeah, come on!

- Why did you argue?

- Why did you have to say I was critical?

Because you are.

Grover, are you on drugs?

Yeah, I'm on heroin,

and Stacy's on crack.

- Happy now?

- He's kidding.

You'd better be joking!

Do you hear me?

Gregory Alan Beindorf, do you hear me?

What is wrong with you?

You guys are splitting up,

that's what's wrong with me.

Now get down there,

and start solving your problems.

Not critical?

Hi, Mr. Mitchell?

Yeah, okay.

My dad can't come to work today.

He's barfing up all over the place.

Okay. Thanks.

Breakfast. Lunch.

Hurry up.

You can't tell any of your friends

at school.

I won't.

Hey, you Beindorfs.

Where are your folks?

They're late for work.

Good morning, Chief Rocco.

They got the bug that's going around.

I didn't know there was one.

Yeah, it's really bad.

Especially for old people.

What?

Shut up.

Grover.

Grover.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

Yeah, there is.

You've been acting weird all day.

Listen, if you're still freaked

about your parents, you can tell me.

I've been through it.

Not through this.

What do you mean?

- Promise not to tell.
