A lousy time.

Don't get caught up

In all that classical junk.

Not a chance.

Remember,

It's a buyers' market

For us stallions out there.

Hey, listen.

Go easy on megan.

It's not her fault

She's a chick.

Yeah, yeah. She's okay.

Don't let this guy

Push you around.

I won't. Have fun.

I'll work really hard

While you're gone

So that when you get back

We can play a heavy duet.

All right. Bye.

Bye. Have fun.

( whispering )

A little late.

Mm.

Hi.

You guys couldn't

Wait till i left

Till you started

Celebrating?

I thought we

Agreed midnight

Was a reasonable

Curfew.

What's this,

A going-away party?

There are some

Things around here

That just don't

Concern you.

Well, the things

That do concern me

I have no say in

Anyway, right?

( joseph sighs )

Your bags are packed.

We leave for the airport

At 8:
00 sharp.

That's what i mean.

Now that you mention it,

Dad, can we discuss--

Not now.

I got a lot on my mind.

Well, when?

Launch time is in

T-minus-seven hours.

When i want any backtalk,

You'll be the first to know.

I think it's time

You went to bed.

Don't you?

Yeah.

( horn beeping )

Yeah, yeah,

I'm coming, i'm coming.

Trevor,

You have a package here.

Come here!

Look what we got!

Hey, toby,

Look what we got the dog.

Nice. Listen,

You goobers

So much as walk

Past my room

While i'm gone,

I will know,

And i won't hesitate

In killing you both.

All right?

Bye.

Get a move on.

You don't want

To miss your plane.

Isn't the governor

Supposed to step in

About now?

He doesn't give pardons

To crud.

Hey, uh...

Are you and dad okay?

Yeah.

We're fine.

Bye.

Bye.

You know, dad...

If you force me

To go through with this,

I will not

Be held accountable

For my actions.

It's your last chance

To redeem yourself

Before it's too late.

Don't slam the trunk.

I'll turn over

A new leaf.

Yeah?

A new tree--

Whatever works

Around here.

I want you to know

Something.

I know. It's all

For my own good.

I wish you'd stop

Being so good to me.

A deal's a deal.

But if you're not happy

With the way things

Are run around here,

You can always get

A place by yourself

When you get back.

Chill out, pop.

Get in the car.

Go on.

( engine starts )

( chattering )

What brings you

To interlochen?

The surf.

The surf? What surf?

We're on a lake.

I was misinformed.

( playing piano )

No.

No.

No.

No!

( cello playing )

You know what

Your problem is?

Yeah. I'm in michigan.

Ow!

I want to be here

With these zoids

Only marginally more

Than i want to die

Of malaria.

( playing tuba )

What you need is...

A woman.

( toby chuckles )

( telephone rings )

( ring )

Hello?

Hi. Megan. It's toby.
