But we're unable

to viralize it outside his body

for transmission to other species.

Therefore, we've had to viralize

his entire genetic code in corpus.

[Strictland] Which makes

his bodily fluids...

- [woman] Pretty dangerous stuff.

- [Kozak] Somewhat.

But it would have to enter the

bloodstream to do any serious damage.

- [Man] We're really careful.

- [Kozak] Mm-hm.

- [Strictland] How close are we?

- [Kozak] How 'bout the snake?

[Kozak] Look at the snake,

see how the snake's doin'.

You might be interested to know, sir,

when we got this snake,

he was nearly dead.

He was nearly dead of old age.

Since we injected him with the serum

made from the dog's viralized DNA,

all cell degradation has ceased.

And he's actually

been getting stronger.

Does that snake have a furry tail?

Uh, that would be a-a-a side effect

that I would classify as, uh, minor.

Kozak, dry mouth is a minor side effect.

Growing a dog's tail is... [stammers]

It makes your serum into a carnival act.

You know what? Your job is to relax.

Our job is to work out the kinks, OK?

Because when we do, Lance,

you and I are gonna have the patent

on the fountain of youth.

[Cell phone rings]

Ah. Excuse me.

Uh, yeah, Security. Go for Kozak.

[All chanting] Grant & Strictland's

lying, so we're lying down!

Grant & Strictland's lying,

so we're lying down!

When I called you, it was to make sure

these people were arrested.

I understand that.

If we arrest them, they turn into

rebels with a cause on the 6:00 news.

If we leave 'em there, they're just

kids layin' on the sidewalk.

- [Girl] Puppy-killers!

...so we're lying down!

Good advice. All right.

Thanks for your help.

- You bet.

- I'm good.

Let's go.

All right, fellas, let's just get

some sort of perimeter on this.

They're just kids.

Let 'em do their thing.

When they get hungry,

they're all gonna go home.

Hold on a minute.

Grant & Strictland's lying,

so we're lying down!

Grant & Strictland's lying,

so we're lying down!

- Hi, Dad.

- Hi, Carly.

What're you doing here?

I'm lying down for what I believe in.

Uh, good to see you, Mr. Douglas.

It's always good

to see you too, Trey.

We need to talk.

Oh, yeah, sure thing.

Um, Trey, make some room for Dad.

- Ow!

- Get up. C'mon. Jeez.

- OK, OK.

- No, no, no, no. Not OK.

We gotta get outta here.

We're leavin' right now.

As a member of the Animal Rescue

Group, there are principles...

You're a member of the 11th grade.

If you don't get out of here

right now, I'm gonna ground you.

Who's gonna enforce it?

You? You're never home.

You're never gonna leave home

unless you leave here right now.

[Scoffs] Come on, Trey.

It was nice seeing you.
