Cheryl grounded us.

Well, why don't you justgo to the museum during the day?

Come on, where's the adventurein that? That's not fun.

Everything's betterwhen you sneak in. Yeah.

Like, uh,like a public swimming pool.

Or your new,hot co-worker's apartment.

And I'm trying to createsome memories for my children.

Gracie, give memy false i.d.

Here we go, mr. Dimas. All right.

Yeah, jim, I'm notgoing to any museum.

I told dana I'd stay hereand watch after the baby.

You're afraid of your wife,aren't you?

Don't be afraid of your wife.

You can watch the kidat the museum.

Yeah, but dana said-- (dopey cartoon voice) yeah, but dana said...

Don't mock me.

(Dopey cartoon voice) don't mock me.

Thank you.

(Both) thank you.

Bring the baby to the museumand watch him there

And be a good dad,

Or you can stay here,watch the baby here

And be dana's babysitter.

Okay.

It's go time.

All right, let's go. (Children cheer)

Who is she to tell mewhat to do, you know?

I'm a doctor.i'm the kid's father.

I'm very responsible.

Tanner, you cannotwander off like that.





(Whispers) dana.

Dana. Shh, I'm tryingto watch the movie.

Okay, listen to me.you're a mom now.

You have to take advantage

Of the rare opportunityyou have to cut loose.

Take the lidoff your soda. What? Why?

Because I'm gonnapour liquor in it.

Oh, cheryl, you can't drinkin a movie theater.

Oh, my god,i love those bottles.

I know.it's like doll booze.

Did you bring onefor yourself?

(Bottles clink)

Ooh.

How cool is this, huh?

Does your dad sneak you intosome good places, or what?

This is even better thanthe waste management plant.

You broke intoa waste management plant?

Ah, it was ruby's birthday.

Daddy, I can'tsee anything.

Andy, see if there's a switch--i think right there. Okay.

Can you see it? Yeah.

(Kyle) oh, wow!

(Jim) wow.

(Ruby) look at his teeth. (Jim) yeah.

Actually,this is a lady.

How can you tellit's a lady?

Well, just look at her face.she's crazy.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I bet she atea lot of cavemen, though, huh?

There weren't any cavemenwhen dinosaurs were alive.

Well, that's becausethe t. Rex ate them all, honey.

Hey, andy,you got your camera? Yeah.

Come on, let's take a picturein front of the big guy here.

Okay, okay... Come on, hurry up.

Hey, you wantsome adventure?

Let's put tannerin the mouth of the t. Rex.

Let's not.

It'll be a great memoryfor tanner.

When he's older,he'll see the picture. I don't know, jim.

Doesn't that sign say, do not touch ?

Can you read yet?

Not really.

It says, wet paint.

(Both growl)

(Laughs) see,everything's fine.

Mm, yuck.that picture's no good.

Ah, tanner's gotthat I got gas face.

Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

You broke this thing!

What? Me?! All I didwas take a picture.

You used the flash.

That's what they say-- never use a flash in a museum.

You're not allowed to!

Hey, it was your ideato put ryan's fat baby

In the dinosaur's mouth. Whoa. My baby's not fat.

He could skipa meal or two.

Oh, who caresif the baby's chubby or not?

We gotta figure outwhat to do here.

Shouldn't we find an adultand tell the truth?

A serious plan.

I say we lieand blame it on ruby.

(Scoffs)you know, ruby...

Daddy! No, you're cute. The judgemay take a liking to you.

Are you kidding me?

All right, all right,we're not gonna blame ruby.

Okay, I don't know about youguys, but I'm outta here.

You know, jim, I'd like to thankyou for involving my child

In his first felony.i'm outta here.
