- Homeowners only. Put you on the list?

- OK.

- What's going on?

- Stop!

The Chiseller.

- Tell me those aren't my keys.

- Get him outside, OK?

- I remember how to handle this guy.

- I can't believe he's still alive.

- You know that thing?

- Hey.

- Don't hurt him.

- I got it. I got it.

It's a snap. Here you go. Hold still. Yeah.

Leave him alone!

Gunner! Stay! Stay, Gunner!

- Get him.

- Gunner, stay!

- Mom, watch out!

- Oh, icky, icky.

Don't light the fireworks.

- No explosives in the house!

- Nigel! Kyle!

Gunner, come back.

- What was that beast?

- The Chiseller?

A pack rat. Steals stuff and hides it.

- I'll get a trap in the morning.

- A humane trap, right?

You know what?

We got a fantastic first day going.

So let's clean up and unpack,

cos we got a clambake to go to! Clambake!

- OK, here we go. What is all this stuff?

- I'm going as fast as I can.

I should put more sugar in your diets,

get you moving.

You actually bought that shirt?

Every dad is entitled to one hideous shirt and

one horrible sweater. It's part of the dad code.

- Mark, you're on fireworks detail.

- OK.

- What's all that?

- Nothing.

Seatbelts.

OK, kids. You know the rules.

I'm underdressed. I thought this

was supposed to be a clambake.

Excuse me. I'll be right back.

- Hey, guys. So glad you could come.

- Hi, Mike.

Good to see you.

Listen. Kids, food's downstairs.

Mom, Dad, the bar is there.

Have a great time.

- Best behaviour.

- Stick together. Keep an eye on them.

- Food.

- See you later.

- Lloyd, how are you?

- Good to see you, Jimmy.

There's Jimmy Murtaugh!

Engage me in conversation.

- We are talking.

- I know, but more intense so he won't come.

- Just hide your face.

- Well, that's a little obvious.

- Tom!

- Turn.

Oh, my goodness.

Look what the wind blew in.

- Hey!

- Jimmy!

- Tom. Look at you.

- How are you?

Wow, you're looking good. A little wrinkled

around the edges, but not bad for an old man.

- And you.

- Kate.

Kate. Still looking very hot for a mother of 12.

- What brings you guys back to my lake?

- Your lake? Your lake now?

Well, you know, I just have to buy Romanow's

place and one or two other properties.

And then I can keep

the riff-raff like you outta here.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

Tom and Kate, this is Sarina, my new bride.

- Nice to meet you, Sarina.

- Nice to meet you.

The parents of that family of pranksters

I told you about.

Jimmy's always been jealous cos we have 12

kids and he only has eight. A manhood thing.

Well, your 12 never beat my eight

for the cup, now, did they, Tom?

- Well, no, they didn't.

- Is that why you came back?

- Trying to knock my family off the wall?

- No. We actually just came for a vacation.
