Go on.|Whack the spider.

I don't want to whack it.

Come on, you got to whack|the spider, Mike. Whack it.

Dad, I'm afraid of spiders.|I can't whack it.

Let me explain something to you.

All your life you're gonna be|facing spiders, okay?

I am?

What I'm trying to say is|you should never be afraid.

People know,|they use that against you.

I'm not scared of anything.|I'm your dad, right?

You're my son.|You whack that spider.

I can't whack the spider, Dad.

Come on. Whack it.|You can do it. Whack the spider.

- I don't want to whack it.|- Yes, you can. Come on.

Kill the spider.|Kill the spider.

Dad, I can't crush it.|I can't whack it!

Hey.

There.|Happy?

No, I'm not happy, Megan.

I was trying to make a point

about how it's important|to whack your own spiders!

Whatever.

Mm-hmm.

Past the Old Miller Road.

Okay. Great.

It is an old home, Ms. Evers.

And my employer is anxious|to move on.

Would it be possible|for you to come alone

to discuss the situation?

But my husband and I work|as a team.

The master usually|does not take visitors.

However, from your photograph,

he thought you to have|a trustworthy face.

About your husband,|he felt differently.

Oh.|You got our flyer.

The master had wished|to meet you tomorrow evening.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

But tomorrow I've got plans|that can't be broken.

Who is that?

- Excuse me a second.|- Who is that?

Just someone calling|about repping a house.

What's the address?|Where is it?

Sara, do you know|where this place is?

The places up here are big|multimillion-dollar mansions.

This could be big.

And what about|our big family adventure?

It's just a little detour.

How long is it gonna take?

No more than 20 minutes.|20 minutes tops.

You kids should be excited.

You're gonna see Mommy and Daddy|in real-estate action.

Somebody's calling me.|Who's calling me?

Hello. Jim Evers,|Evers & Evers Real Estate.

Stan, how you doing?|What's the latest?

Really?|The Selmer property?

Tomorrow?

Wow. I'm kind of out of town|right now.

Hey. But, hey, listen.|Maybe I could come back early.

Oh, no.|I can't come back early.

No, I can't come back early.

Maybe we should just take care|of this on Monday.

All right?

Monday?

Monday sounds fantastic.

Okay.|I'll talk to you on Monday.

We're gonna talk on Monday.

Are we still in America?

Here it is, right here.|Okay? All right?

Yeah, that's a whole lot|of gate.

They must have a big|possum problem down here.

That's some big possum.

Didn't they know we were coming?

Of course they knew.

Maybe there's a call box|or something.

Hello?!

Hello!|The Evers are here!

Yes, we're here now!

Nobody's answering.

Now I got to get out in the dirt|with my brand-new shoes on.
