Danny, is this you?

Maybe

it's the spirits!

Oh. Danny,

this is not nice!

I was really enjoying

my quiet!

(Laughing)

(Screaming)

(Music playing)

(Yelling)

Danny! Danny!

Om, om, om.

Let's see

you baby-sit for me now.

Om, om, om, om, om...

(Loud music playing)

What happened?

Where's Danny?

Mrs. Greene?

The little monster

is up in his room.

And I am never

going to baby-sit him again.

Ever.

Do you hear that,

Danny?!

Bad little boys

don't get to do macram!

So, what got into him?

He's never bad.

You promised him.

It's work.

Don't you think I'd rather

be playing catch with him?

Well, I understand that,

but he's a seven-year-old boy.

Can you check around

for some backup babysitters?

It's hard.

No one gives out

the names of good sitters.

They're like

state secrets.

Okay, so, what are we

going to do about Danny?

No. What are you going to do

about Danny,

Mister "No Excuses"?

I think Danny and I are gonna be

playing some baseball tomorrow.

Great throw!

Oh! All right.

Bring the heat.

Did Grandpa

teach you how to play?

My dad never had a lot of time

to play baseball with me.

Wow, just like me!

Do grownups

hate baseball?

Is that why they have to pay

the pros so much money to play?

Buddy, if I could spend all my

time playing baseball with you,

and still have a house

and food and everything,

I'd be the happiest guy

in the world.

Maybe we could be

on a team.

If I were captain,

I would pick you first.

So would I, Danny.

But you know,

we already are a team.

Really?

Yeah.

You, me, and Mom.

We're the Parker

family team.

But your bad behaviour

is letting the team down.

Sorry, Dad.

Being bad never gets you

what you want.

Being bad totally gets you

whatever you want.

I knew it!

The day after

I drove my babysitter away,

my dad came home early

to play baseball with me.

So you gonna keep it up,

you know, get on the list?

It's working so far.

But the only thing is,

I don't think I can be that bad.

You got lucky with Miss Greene.

She's easy.

I know, but how do you get good

at being bad?

(Metal clanging)

(Car alarm blaring)

Yeah.

(Glass shattering)

(Alarm blaring)

You.

Danny needs some help.

Oh, I'll help you,

all right.

We need some lessons

in how to be bad,

and you're the best

worst kid I know.

You wanna be bad?

Danny needs to learn how to be,

you know, a total jerk,

just like you.

What's in it for me?

Well, I've got two dollars,

six Pokmon cards,

and my pudding cup

from lunch.

That's a

pretty good deal.

Yeah. I could just

watch you be a jerk for free,

but I'm in a hurry.

What's your rush?

I wanna be

on the no-sit list.

You know,

for babysitters?
