It's 10 minutes to the office.

I have to run off another copy.

I'll be back.

You're gonna leave us alone

in this creepy old house?

- It's not creepy, it's old.

- I like Mom's better.

Well, so did she, and now it's hers.

Look, this is a very special house.

The reason I'm working to fix it up

is I wanna make a home for us here.

Now, I know it's not Mom's house,

and I know it's a little creaky...

...but give it some time,

it's gonna grow on you.

Well, I don't wanna stay here alone.

Well, you're not gonna be alone.

I'm going to wake up Lisa.

- No, don't wake up Lisa.

- What, are you crazy?

She's sleeping. Let her sleep.

Honey.

Lisa. Honey.

Get up.

I need to go out. I need you to

look after your two favorite people.

Come on.

I can't. I have a date tonight.

What time?

We're hooking up at, like, 8.

- It's 2.

- So?

- So that's six hours from now.

- What's your point?

I need you to look after the boys.

By the way, it makes me uncomfortable

when you say "hooking up."

Why? It's not like it means anything.

- Hope it doesn't.

- It doesn't. It's just an expression.

- Hope it is.

- It is. God.

We never should have

rented Thirteen.

Keep your eye on them. Make sure

they don't burn down the house.

- Okay?

- I'm not deaf.

- I'm not deaf.

- What?

Dad, okay.

Fifteen minutes, just close the door.

Thank you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am.

Yeah, hold on.

Hey!

Dad said no video games.

He did not!

Fine.

It's a giraffe!

- This is SportsCenter.

- Hey.

I was watching that.

It is Oakland. It is Boston.

It is Manny Ramirez.

- Can't we watch SpongeBob?

- No.

- You used to like it.

- Times change.

Tartar sauce.

I'm hungry.

So, what do you want me

to do about it?

Make me macaroni and cheese?

I don't know how.

I'm hungry.

What do you know how to make?

Water.

Two-run shot. Are you kidding me?

Next batter, Jason Varitek.

In the air to deep right field.

Down the line, towards the pole.

- How about if you and me play catch?

- No.

The first guy to give up

walk-off home runs...

...on consecutive days since 1998.

Bo Sox win it 6 to 5.

History-making moment for...

You're dead!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Danny?

Where are you?

Danny?

Where are you, Danny?

Danny?

Where are you?

- There you are.

- I said I was sorry.

Don't. No.

- Don't do that, it's not funny.

- You'll be safe here till Dad gets back.

You're just jealous because

Dad thinks I'm smarter than you!
