Did you ever imagine
what your parents were like
When they were kids?
Hard to imagine, right?
Or, if you're like me,
You just assume
that they were born parents.
Well, they weren't.
Trust me.
The only thing
scarier than imagining
your parents being young,
Is actually having
to live with them that way.
That's exactly
what happened to me.
Science fiction, you think?
[Scoffs]
Oh, no.
This is my neighbor.
Average, right?
Average house,
Average sister,
Average friends.
And now, for you nonbelievers,
meet my mom.
I want my bottle!
And my dad.
Norty make
a mess.
Hey, I told you
this wasn't science fiction.
This is my life.
And it's all because of...
It all started
on an average morning,
Or at least,
average at my house.
[Crashing]
How can you
just sit there?
They're gonna blow
the whole house up.
Nah, that wasn't
any worse than usual.
Woman: well, at least
the primary...
Told you
the proton generator
was overtorqued.
Norton,
I'm telling you,
It's
the electron
ignition system.
Are you two
all right?
We're better
than all right.
Marie, we're on the verge
of a breakthrough.
It sounded more
like a breakdown.
Oh, no, dear,
we're fine.
It's as your father
always says...
"Science is
rarely pretty."
Look, please just be sure
you're ready by 1:00.
For what?
Told you they
wouldn't remember.
Our graduation.
Duh.
I can't believe
you guys!
We knew that.
We were just
putting you on.
Yeah, uh, gotcha!
Oh! Out of my way,
you mongrel.
I think
if we reconfigure
The particlization
mechanism, we can--
Honey, I'm telling you,
it's the ignition system.
I know.
Thank you.
Einstein, go!
[Whines]
You know what?
I will not be humiliated
at graduation today.
Sure, you will.
Then you'll sulk
for a day or two,
Drown
your sorrows
In a vat
of thick shakes,
And add a few
unsightly inches
to your hips.
You know what?
I hate to tell you,
But just because
you skipped a grade
Doesn't mean
you know everything.
Wanna bet?

Laugh now, but next year,
when we're in high school,
I'm gonna be
an urban...
Slug.
You'll be an urban slug
the day I turn
into britney spears.
Nice to meet you, britney.
Look, colin
got me an audition
To be slug's
new bass player.
And if I get in,
You're gonna be
so green with envy,
People will be
calling you...
Green with envy.
Man, wouldn't it be nice
to be lizzie cook?
Look at her.
She's talking
to her parents,
Without an interpreter.
and they're
actually listening.
Yeah, and I guess
when they sit
in a chair,
You know,
I'm guessing that,
you know,
It acts like...
Whoa.
A chair.
Hmm.
At least there's one hope.
Maybe when our parents
test their time travel
machine today,
They'll accidentally
send themselves
back into the stone age.
Then we'll get
a well-deserved break.
It's not that we didn't
love our parents. We did.
It was just sometimes
we had a really
hard time relating.
See, this was the day
that they were gonna do
Their first official trial
of their time travel machine.
And their first
test subjects,
Funky-looking goldfish.
Computer:specimens

And counting.

[Einstein barks]
[Grrr]
Who let that mongrel
down here?
Oh, norton,
it's not einstein's fault
That you neglected
to close the door
At the top of the stairs.
That dog has a talent
For being
in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
Oh, be nice.
All he wants to do
is play catch.
It's just a pest.
Go upstairs! Shoo!
Go on upstairs!

Son: now, we don't want to
go into scientific detail,
Because I can't.
But the machine
missing that part,
The vector modulator,
Is a bad thing,
a very bad thing.
Didn't you hear
what I said? Scram.
Computer: 30 seconds.
All right, with 2 fermi
foundation grants,
And a higgins award
on the line,
are we ready?
Ready to make history!
Or at least observe it.
Then I say,
let's commence.

What is going on?
They're still here.
They're supposed to be
back in september of 1863.
This makes no sense.
I mean, we went over
the calculations
Reviewing the data
in my dreams.
[Sighs]
It was supposed to go off
without a hitch.
[Beep]
We have got to go.
The graduation?
What graduation?
[Mutters]
Oh.
carassius auratus.
De-aged 2 months.
Ok, mom, which one
of my friends
is this?
Oh, marie,
I don't know.
Annie.
No, mother.
This is samantha,
And this is annie.
Well, annie, samantha,
I mean, you all
walk around in packs.
Does it really matter?
Ok, all right.
This is
my best friend lauren,
And this is
my worst enemy, cloe.
Come on, you guys got ph.d.s
memorizing who knows what.
My friends' names
should be a snap.
All right, all right,
all right.
Would you turn down
that irritating noise
you call music?
So I can concentrate.
Now, which one
is annie again?
So, how come
you don't have
A picture
of colin in your
little stack?
Why would i?
You know you have
a crush on him.
Why don't you
just admit it?
Mom, make
him stop.
That's enough.
Both of you are
just far too young
To be so preoccupied
with the opposite sex.
Marie, when I was
your age,
Boys were the furthest thing
from my mind.
Ooh, big surprise.
Eddie: with
the other parents,
Feel free to talk about
the stock market.
Why would we
do that?
So you sound
less sciencey,
more cool.
Cool. How many times
have I told you
I hate that word?
"Eddie, I need
you to take out
the trash." "Cool."
"Grandma's coming
to visit." "Cool."
"T-the world's
gonna end
at sunrise." "Cool."
There are
so many other
Descriptive
adjectives
In the english
language.
Cool.
And if the stock market
doesn't work
for you guys,
Try the lakers.
Here. I wrote notes.
"Wow, that shaq has sure had
some impressive stats lately."
Oh, eddie.
Eddie, we don't
need those.
We know
what's going on
in the world.
Oh, yeah?
What's hip-hop?
Who's lil' bow wow?
Name one movie
or one tv show
You've seen
in the last 5 years.
Oh, well, that's easy.
We saw that, uh,
life cycles of the earthworm
special on public television
just last year.
Now that, that
was entertainment.
That was fantastic.
I rest my case.
Son, we are not
going to humiliate you.
Now, your father and i,
we were teenagers once.
We know how you feel.
Nobody knows
how I feel.
I do.

Oh, mom, dad,
you remember...
Annie!
And lauren.
Nice to see you girls.
Are you elated
about the advent of
the summer equinox?
You must be
thoroughly excited
About advancing
your education at
a brand-new venue.
Oh, oh, there's colin.
See you guys.
Well, good-bye, son.
Ha ha ha.
Hey, lizzie!
Girl, those
shoes are tight.
I know! Aren't they?
[Gasps]
Look at ben garland.
Come on, let's go
torment him.
Yeah.
Remember our talk
about boys.
Mom?
Oh, hey.
My parents are over there
if you want to say hi.
Um...
Oh.
Come on,
let's meet them.
Well, if you ask me,
there's not a single
Consistently outstanding pitcher
in the national leagues.
Certainly, none
of those rookies
have blown me away.
Yeah, and that shaq
sure has some
impressive stats lately.
I'm surprised
to see you here, ballard.
I though you only
got out when you
set the lab on fire.
Now, chick, be nice.
What? I was
only saying
Corky and I
are taking bets
on how soon
You'll annihilate
the entire neighborhood.
Well, to allay
your fears, I'd be
more than delighted
To illuminate you
on our latest research.
It involves a machine
to send an organism
back in time.
I'll show you
how it works with
that brownie pan.
Marigold!
How nice
to see you.
Oh, it's nice
to see you, corky.
Interesting
jacket.
Oh, well,
as is your sweater.
Well, do you mind?
Oh, it's just as I thought.
The rest is an artificial...
Yes, an artificial
petroleum blend.
It's good-looking,
but highly flammable.
Boy: I'm not sure
if you've got the look.
Urban slugs
have got to be,
you know...
Smooth.
Look, just hear me play, ok?
If I blow you away,
then you can teach me...
Smooth.
All right.
You get one shot.
Tomorrow, 3:00,
your place.
Excuse me, would you be
kind enough to lend me
your glasses for a moment?
Norton, I don't
think this
is a good idea.
Thank you.
Dad, what are you doing?
A simple experiment.
These kind folks
practically demanded it.
Do you have to use
the principal's glasses?
Pleasure to meet you,
dr. Ballard.
I'm larry root.
Nice to meet you.
The photoelectric
effect...
What's going on?
Don't ask.
If incidental light
is composed of
discreet particles
Of energy
called photons...
Your forgetting
that--
Then the energy
of each photon
Is proportional
to its frequency.
So, in order
to free those electrons,
We catch the light,
and move them
through time,
Which proves
the possibility
of time travel.
Watch carefully.
Fire!
Oh, dear!
Oh, my!
Help him!
He's on fire!
Ooh, that was
one great day,
wasn't it?
Down, dog.
Oh, yeah, dad,
the best.
Especially the part
when you set
The principal's head
on fire.
What was up with that?
The important thing
is that we managed
To get
those kids excited
about science.
Ha ha. Well,
you know what, norty?
I think they were
more excited about
The paramedics
and the fire trucks.
I'm adopted, aren't i?
Somebody dropped me off
on the porch
in a basket,
And you guys are just
afraid to tell me.
What did we do?
Eddie, honey?
Be honest. Did we
embarrass you today?
Well, uh...
You guys know
what it is.
I mean, we have
all the teachers
we need at school.
At home, it would be nice
just to have a mom and dad.
Well, the truth is,
norton, when we
were their age,
We had
sudden mood swings.
We never swung that far.
Norton, look!
Where did
the fish go?
Um, my guess is
they're either in 1863
Listening to lincoln
give the gettysburg address,
Or they just
popped into the ozone.
Our best bet is to reenter
the recalculated
ignition sequence
And run through
the entire procedure again.
Eddie: what we
didn't find out
until a lot later,
Was that when einstein
took the vector modulator,
The fish didn't
travel back in time.
Instead, they got
younger and younger
Until they reached the point
before they were born--
The poof point.
Ready?
Yes.

Aah!
Oh!

Specimens, de-aging mode.
Subjects de-aged to 21.
System shutdown.
Marie: are you two
all right?
Eddie: now
what did you do?
Uh, that was
the worst expl*si*n yet.
What's the matter?
Nothing, man.
We're cool.
Did he just say, "cool"?
Totally cool.
But do I
know you?
Funny, dad.
Dad? Ha ha!
Why'd you
call me dad?
Good joke.
Hold on, I see
what's going down.
This is one
of my mother's
practical jokes.
Now, she put you kids
up to this, didn't she?
Didn't she?
Mom, you know
grandma's
At the mah-jongg
tournament
in sacramento.
Did you two get
hit in the head
or something?
It's us!
Eddie and--
Oh, ah, wait,
wait, wait.
Don't tell me.
Edison newton ballard
and marie curie ballard.
All right, good,
so you do know us.
Ha! No,
I don't know you,
but I do know
My meddling mother's
sense of humor.
Now, norton,
how many times
have I told her?
At least
a million times,
I am not gonna
have children until
I finish my doctorate.
Now, that old busybody
went ahead and hired
these poor kids
And gave them
a couple of bucks
And the names that
we've set aside for
our future children.
Your mom...
Your mom
is about
as illogical
As trying to
clone a sheep.
Ha ha ha!
Whoa. Whoa!
Wow! This
is slammin'.
Marigold! It looks
as if someone
Has been able
to construct
A time's
arrow machine.
Not someone, dad.
You. You and mom.
No, a time's arrow machine
is something that marigold and I
Are writing a paper on
for our theoretical
physics class.
There's no way it can
be built until someone
comes up with a more portable--
Computer.
Wow!
Wow!
What are these?
Your pcs?
You've had them
for years.
What's wrong
with you?
You know,
maybe that
expl*si*n
Gave them
ambrosia.
Amnesia.
That's what I said.
All right, quick!
Who's the president
of the united states?
What, you
don't know?
Oh, this is
just the pits.
You see, norton,
that is exactly why
I'm reluctant
to have children.
Please, I need
to hear it from you.
The ron-man.
Our political hero,
ronald reagan.
That's right.
That nancy,
She's pretty nifty,
too, you know.
She is hot, but not
as hot as this. Wow!
Look, you say
you've been married
for 6 months.
The truth is,
you've been married
for over 18 years.
You think you live
in an apartment
near the college,
But you live here
with us.
I don't know what
you guys did down there,
But my whole life,
all you've ever talked
about was time travel.
Now the only thing
that's traveling
is your brains!
Eddie, calm down.
You're not helping.
Hold on.
Here we are
on vacation...
At a physicists
convention
last month.
Oh, my goodness.
Norton, look at us.
I mean, we look just...
Totally old.
No offense,
but how do you
think you look?
Well, I know
I don't look like--
Wha--
Mmm, foxy.
You look foxy.
[Exasperated gasp]
[Exasperated gasp]
Oh, come on.
You really don't see it,
do you?
O-o-ok, let's
just go with this.
You guys claim
that we invented
a time machine
And we're
on the verge
of making it work.
Ha ha.
So then how did we
become 21 again, then, huh?
And more importantly,
what are you guys gonna do
about fixing it?
Forget fixing it!
I feel, unh, unh,
large and in charge.
Oh, nortykins,
you are so slamboyant.
And look
at my marigold.
Mmm, sizzlin'
Oh, gosh,
you are just so hot.
Come here.
Eww! Ok, look,
bad vision.
♪ And we
will live forever ♪
♪ Until the 12th
of never ♪
♪ Our voices
will ring forever ♪
♪ As one ♪
Oh, that's our song.
[Einstein barks]
Oh, a dog!
Get that mongrel
away from me!
At least some things
haven't changed.
Nortykins, lighten up.
As an undergrad,
a puppy ate
his thesis paper,
And he's just been
down on dogs ever since.
So, that's how
it all started.
I have no intention
of playing with you.
Ok, all right,
let's say that we just
believe all of this.
Well, now what?
You're
the scientists,
We were
kind of hoping
you'd tell us.
Eddie: so, we sent
our 21-year-old parents
back into the lab
To try to figure out
how to become 40 again.
Wow! This is incredible.
And you're actually saying
that silly billy gates,
who I tutored in calculus,
Is responsible
for all of this?
Yeah, dad.
Now get over it!
Focus!
Eddie and I
are gonna go up
and make dinner.
You guys keep working.
You know, marigold,
I bet what we're
looking for
Is tied directly
into that last
goldfish experiment.
But norton,
those fish didn't de-age.
They just disappeared.
That is what
trips me out.
What if they started
by de-aging and then...
Oh...
Poof!
Oh.
It's so weird
seeing them at 21.
Nortykins
and mari-muffin.
I know.
They're...slammin'.
I mean, what if
they stay like this?
Making out and singing
hits of the seventies.
I can't
believe there are
actually people
Right across
the street who live
normal lives.
I know.
Kids!
We need to talk.
We don't want
you to panic,
Because everything,
ultimately,
Is going to be cool.
But we do seem
to be facing
a bit of a, uh...
Situation.
Situation.
This doesn't sound good.
The good news
is that nortykins
and I are sure
That we've
discovered
what happened
To those goldfish.
And the
bad news?
They didn't
go time traveling,
they went poof.
What?
What?
They...poofed.
Well,
in layman's terms,
They regressed
themselves right out
of existence.
That's
layman's
terms?
Wait, wait.
So you're saying
that the fish
Got younger and younger
until finally they...
Disappeared?
Exactly. Right on!
Is what happened
to the goldfish
gonna happen to you?
Are you two gonna poof
and disappear, too?
Marie, chill out.
Nortykins and i,
we are going to
carefully examine
The data downstairs
to determine
Where the experiment
went wrong--
And fix it.
Did we have
any colleagues,
Anyone who
would know anything
about this?
No. I mean,
this was all part
Of some top-secret,
schro-something
or other grant.
That's why
the college moved
your lab into the house.
All right, so, do you
have any idea of how long
until you poof?
Actually, we do,
to the precise second.
We calculated the time
it took for the goldfish
to vanish,
Factored in
their life expectancy
versus ours.
Then, in a worst-case
scenario,
We'll reach poof point
at precisely 6:01
tomorrow evening.
My goodness. Kids,
it's after midnight!
Don't you wanna
go upstairs and crash?
No chance.
That clock
hits zero, you guys
are history.
We're staying
right here
To make sure
nothing happens
to you guys.
Norton, we are
going to raise teenagers
Who actually want
to see their parents live.
Oh!
O-o-oh! I got it.
I figured
it out, norton!
I know what
we have to do!
Norton, I know
what we have to do
to save ourselves!
What is it, marigold?
What went wrong?
How do we fix it?
Well, well,
it's really quite
simple, actually.
As you can see,
according to
my calculations...
And just when I thought
everything was
gonna be cool...
All we ever
really needed was--
Guess what?
[Hiccups]
Marigold, what's happening?
I...
Mom and dad de-aged again.
What are you doing? Stop!
The solution, we--
Whoa-oh-oh!
That was too bizarre!
Are you two
all right?
I'm superfine.
I don't know who you are.
Computer: subjects de-aged
to 14 years.
Matter of fact,
I don't even know
where I am.
Well, that makes
two of us.
Although
I do know you,
norton ballard,
And after
the way you behaved
at the science fair,
I never want to
talk to you again.
Eddie: so now you see
the nightmare
We found ourselves in.
And as it turns out,
that was nothing
Compared to
what happened next.
Our parents turned into
hormonal teenagers
just like us!
And we had
to deal with them!
I know it doesn't
make any sense,
I know it sounds insane,
but it's the truth.
What can I do
to get you
to believe me?
See this zit?
It's just
starting.
But trust me,
it'll be all
over my face,
Probably in time
for picture day.
[Plays acid rock]
Norton?
You play the guitar?
Since when?
Since forever.
What are you doing
in there, marigold?
Come on out.
Oh...
What do you think?
Um, ha...
Well, you...
I don't know.
Well, doesn't it
look like this
on you, though?
No.
Uhh!
No, I mean, yes.
It's just that
You just kind of...
Uh, you look fine.
Yeah, well, how can I
expect you to relate?
I mean, you're--
you're beautiful.
Everyone says
I look like you.
Oh, yeah. I wish.
I mean,
I am a science geek, marie...
Who looks like
a science geek.
But wouldn't you
think that a guy
Would want to be
with someone who was
his intellectual equal?
I don't understand
why norton feels
so threatened by me.
But I'll tell you
one thing.
I am not gonna
dumb myself down for him.
No. In the name
of all the sisters
in the movement,
I will never,
ever do that,
Not for norton ballard
or any other dumb guy.
You know, what
wigs me out in my mind
So bad I can
barely breathe
Is the fact
that marigold wilmoth
Has the nerve to think
she's as smart as me.
That's why she's
not talking to me.
I told her I could
kick her keister
Anytime
in a science bowl,
And now she's
all bent out of shape.
Norton, you're not 14.
You're 40.
You were 14 in 1974.
It's a whole new millennium!
If you don't
start believing me,
You're gonna poof
out of existence,
I won't have parents,
and--and...
You won't
have a life, and...
I'm sorry to be
dumping all this on you,
But if you're not
gonna be the grownup,
who is?
I don't know
what to do!
Ok, whoa.
You are just
a little too intense,
This is all too heavy,
And I feel like
my head is just
about to explode.
Oh, believe me, mom,
I can relate.
Oh, don't call me mom.
Norton:
this is so radical.
There's a channel
on your tv
That plays nothing
but rock and soul music.
Have you seen it?
Yeah, norton.
Welcome to the world.
I completely dig it.
[Doorbell rings]
Sounding good, my man,
sounding very good.
Recording yourself
so you can learn
from the playback.
Mondo smart, dude.
Ready for the audition?
Today?
Duh.
That's today?
Uh...uh...
Colin, I just can't.
Ok? I can't.
These guys aren't
gonna wait for you.
I mean, what are you thinking?
It's today.
And you better
be amazing.
Norton: just because
I got a 79 on my psats
Doesn't mean
I'm a college professor.
I mean, I don't know zip
about any of this stuff.
[Laughs]
obviously.
I understand
more than you do, norton.
Huh. You wish.
I know.
Now, I can make out
What some of those
equations are about,
And I totally
get the concept
of time's arrow.
Duh! Who wouldn't?
Us.
Us.
Which is why
we were kind of hoping
You two could
work together on this.
Yeah, well,
it's about
his attitude.
Norton thinks
he's too good
To ever
need a partner.
Oh, I'm not
the one who made
The whole 9th-grade
chemistry class barf
Because she made
an accidental stink b*mb
Because she wouldn't
ask for help.
Well, excuse me.
Can we just
talk about the time
You melted
mr. Schiller's belt
'Cause you wouldn't
let me show you
How to use the new
bunsen burner?
Guys, can we just
call a truce here?
Why don't you
ask her?
She's the one
who started it.
I did not!
[Romantic music]
Do you guys have
a bathroom down here?
It's in the back corner.
Come with me. Ok?
Please? Right now.
Norton: there they go.
You ever notice how
they go to the bathroom
in pairs?
It's like a girl's
noah's ark.
Hee hee hee hee!
I don't get it.
I mean,
I just don't get it.
I mean, why does he
make me feel like this?
My face, it gets all hot,
and my knees go all gooey.
Because you two
are way in love.
Tch. Try way in hate.
Norton, he just feels
so threatened by me,
And his mom, oh, his mom,
She totally
can't stand me.
Yeah, well, that
hasn't really changed,
But you've
gotten used to it.
I don't even know
what I'm thinking.
I can't get serious
about a boy now.
I mean, I've got
my whole life ahead of me.
Yeah.
A life with norton.
Oh! Uh-uh.
No, no.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
It is just
too crazy to think
that norton ballard
Is the guy
that I end up with.
Well, you better
get over it, because he is.
This is just so unfair.
It's just so unfair.
What?
It's just...
Being our age
And wanting to,
you know,
Be cool and in control,
When all the time,
what you really feel is...
Just lost, like,
all the time.
Whoa.
What?
Why are you
looking at me like that?
Oh, my gosh, do I have
a booger or something?
It's just...i'm blown away.
I mean, I had no idea
you felt this stuff.
And I can't believe
you're sharing it with me.
Well, why not?
I think you're great.
And the truth is,
I feel...
I feel like I could
talk to you for hours.
Would it be ok
if I gave you a hug?
Yeah, 'cause
I could definitely
Use one
right about now.
Me, too.
Ok.
I think you're
so cool, marie.
[Sniffs]
I think you're cooler.
[Laughs]
Eddie?
Norton?
Where'd they go?
[Electric guitar playing]
Eddie!
Dad?
Norton...
Since when do you
play guitar?
He's always
played the guitar.
Check him out, marie.
He is phat.
I'm not fat.
I'm big-boned.
You could certainly
teach me a thing or two.
excelente.
I would love to.
See, I got this audition
of a lifetime
To try out
for this tight band
called urban slugs,
And norton's helping me
get ready for it.
Hey, what's the deal?
How come your skateboard
has a handle?
Have you forgotten
about our little
problem here?
No, not at all.
See, here's what
I'm thinking.
Since mom and dad
always want to fight
about everything,
Maybe it would
make more sense
For you to go down
in the lab and
work with mom,
And I stay up here
and keep an eye
on dad.
Or in other words,
dump the tough stuff
on my shoulders
So you can hide out
with jimi hendrix
over there.
Come on, marie.
The guys are gonna
be here at 3:00.
Yeah, and at 6:00,
there's a good chance
we can be orphans.
Eddie: norton?
Marie: marigold?
Where'd they go?
Oh, no.
They're not here.
Where could they be?
I don't know.
They're not
down in the lab.
I don't get it.
Where could they
possibly have gone?
What were they thinking?
Where would they go?
Um, excuse me,
mrs. Cook.
Do you know
where my parents--
Oh, marie, dear.
What a coincidence.
I was just about
to call over to your house.
That's great, ms. Cook,
but I really need to--
Apparently we're
not the only ones
in the neighborhood
Losing patience
with your parents.
Come, I want
to show you something.
Um, mrs. Cook,
right now really
isn't a good time.
Would you rather
I spoke to them directly?
Do you know
where they are?
Don't you?
You know, I don't
want to sound like
twilight zone here
or anything,
But are you starting
to feel like we landed
On a totally
different planet?
Where's my house?
Where's my tree fort?
Where's mr. Frizzle's
grave?
Mr. Frizzle?
My lab mouse.
Whose bright idea
was it to take away
Everything I love
And put a stupid
park in its place?
You know, norton,
I'm starting to feel
Like eddie and marie
were telling us the truth.
No way, marigold.
That's too weird.
Yeah, really weird,
but do you have a better
explanation, sherlock?
I mean, come on.
What are we gonna do now?
Our only real choice
is to go back to the lab
And see what
we can figure out.
Whoa!
I can't believe
for the first time
in my life,
I actually
agree with you.
So, what street
do they live on?
Oh, norton, come on.
Don't you know?
No.
Well, let's just
go back the way
we came from.
Ok? Come on.
Come on, let's go.
You guys. Boys don't
ask for directions.
You should have just
asked for directions, norton!
Norton:
which way do we go?
I don't know!
Norton! Unh!
Norton!
Norton!
Hey, there you are.
Where's marigold?
I don't know.
We had another dumb fight.
We got all lost
trying to get to your pad,
And she got all bugged out,
saying I was yelling at her
When I wasn't.
Nice bike! Whoa.
I mean,
she is so sensitive.
How is a guy supposed
to have a relationship
When everything
turns into a huge
federal case?
Don't ask me.
Unh!
[Gasps]
Whoa! Where'd you
learn to do that?
I've always done this.
Check this out.
Watch this.
I wish marigold
could see this.
She wouldn't believe it.
Unh! Don't you
have a girlfriend?
What's wrong?
Uh...i think
that's the first time
You ever asked me
about my social life.
Well, if I'm your father,
like you claim,
Don't we talk?
Well...
Not really.
I mean, you're always
sort of too busy
or whatever.
Sounds like my father.
That's a bummer, man.
That's not the type
of father I want to be.
Hey, don't
beat yourself up.
I mean, your work's
really important to you.
Work, schmirk.
Check this out.
Up, up, and away.
Oh, yeah! Whoo! Ha ha!
[Love song plays]
Oh, how could you
do it, girl?
It's like--like,
straight from my heart
And into your mouth.
Dang, you're good.
Mrs. Ballard...
[Slurps shake]
Yeah, right.
Like that's ever
gonna happen.
Are...you ok?
Look, no offense, ok?
But do I even know you?
I'm cloe. I go
to school with marie.
Listen,
I don't mean to sound
nosy or anything,
But you seem
totally sad.
Well...
Cloe, right? Ok.
I have this friend, right?
And she's--
she's about our age.
And if--
Does he name
start with an "m"?
Whoa! I mean,
that is, like,
absolutely correct.
Wow! You're good.
What can I say?
It's a gift.
So, why don't you
tell me everything?
There's nothing like
an emotional purge
To make you feel
[Slurps]
Can I buy you
another drink?
You know, your eyes, like,
totally match your sweater?
That is, like, so cool.
This we lost
in yesterday's expl*si*n.
Come here.
Look at this, marie.
This was from
one of their experiments
a week ago.
And the longmans
lost a pair
Of precious
lawn gnomes.
The robergs'
crystal chandelier
is in a shambles,
The franzens claim
that their dog
Has lost
all bladder control.
Obviously, we realize
it's not your fault
That your parents
are, uh...
A little eccentric?
Well, I was
going to say freaks,
but that's ok.
Nonetheless,
corky has started
a petition,
And more than half
the neighborhood
has already signed it.
A petition for what?
Unless they
cease and desist
Operating
a scientific lab
In a residential
neighborhood,
We'll bring out
a county inspector...
And file a motion
to have your family evicted.
What? But you can't.
I mean, not now.
Definitely, oh, not now.
You see, they're...
Look, whatever you think
you have to do,
You just can't
do it today.
Believe me. Please.
It's just so bizarre,
because marie hasn't
said anything
About having
some huge crush.
I bet it's colin.
He's there all the time
with eddie.
He's really cute.
[Screeching brakes]
Uh, cloe, I think you
just ran over
about half a town.
Machine:
oh, you are toast.
Oops. My bad.
So, this other thing.
Mrs. B. Told me
that the urban slugs
Are playing over
at their house later.
Really?
Yeah, it sounded like
she was hoping
It was gonna turn
into some huge
graduation party.
Which means we should
start inviting kids.
Ok. We'll go get
the guys at the counter.
And I'll start
doing my phone thing.
So, with less than 6 hours
left until poof point,
Dad and I did what anyone
facing oblivion would do.
We jammed.
[Zzz]
Um, forgive me
once again for being
the voice of sanity here,
But...where's marigold?
Excuse me.
What the--
[Loud smooch]
Ooh.
How do you like that,
norton ballard?
Oh, um...uh...
Mom, what's up
with that?
It's time I started
acting like a modern woman,
According
to your friend cloe.
Marie: cloe?
Cloe weber
is the meanest,
Most gossipy girl
in our whole class.
Well, didn't she think
it was kind of weird
That our mom was acting
like she was 14?
Well, cloe
was very clear
that these days,
If a girl
really wants something,
She does not have
to sit around and wait
For the boy to make
the first move. So...
Eddie:
what the heck...
What do you say, norty?
About what?
Norton ballard...
Will you
go steady with me?
Eddie: come on.
We need to get back
to the lab.
Norton, I know
you're in here.
Norton, you're
being ridiculous.
Norton: well, you don't
know what it's like.
You don't
have a girlfriend.
You don't know
how it feels.
Nobody knows how I feel!
Gee, haven't heard
that one since...
Yesterday,
when I said it.
The countdown clock
doesn't care
About any of this.
It's ticking.
Look, I'm sorry
if you're gonna
Have to put your little
anxiety attack on hold,
But it's getting
really crucial here.
I'm a teenager.
This is supposed to be
the best time of my life,
And all I'm feeling
is pressure.
And I can't handle it!
You're not the only one
That's having
a little bit
of trouble with this!
News flash: being 14
has never been easy.
Ask any of my friends.
But you have to come out
and deal with it.
Ok. I'll come out.
Thank you.
Ok, you can
handle this.
I know you can
handle this.
It's just
some dumb girl.
A dumb girl can't
tell you what to do.
Dumb girl. Girl, girl.
No! No, no!
I can't! I can't!
What if I can't
figure out the formula?
I've been only
programmed for success.
The fear of failing
flips me out!
I can't! No!
Man, you got to stop
stealing my lines.
Whoa!
I don't believe it.
[Coughs]
how did this
get down here?
Did norton finish this
without me?
I don't know. You know,
it's been here forever.
You know, I think
it's just some old
project of yours.
It's an energy ball.
We're working on it
for next year's
science fair.
Isn't this wild?
What does it do?
Well,
that's the problem.
We spend so much
time arguing,
We never seem
to get it done.
Where's norton?
In the greenhouse,
having a godzilla-sized
Nervous breakdown.
It's all about me,
right?
I knew it.
I knew it.
I knew I should never
have been so aggressive.
Eddie, please tell her
she's being ridiculous.
Well...he did say
That every time
he pictures her
looking at him,
He feels like
throwing up.
I realized that the only way
to get them back on track
Was to do to them
what mom and dad
do to me and my sister
When we go at it.
I sat them down
and told them that no one
was gonna leave the room
Until they had
a compromise.
And, much to my surprise...
It actually worked.
I got it!
No, I got it!
Ignition sequence
plus delta "x"
Added to "x" squared.
Same theory
as the fuel-injection
rocket
We made
in seventh grade.
Oh! Are you really sure
you figured it out?
This is amazing.
Are you sure
it'll work?
Well, we did
send a hamster
Soaring over
a minimarket
using this equation.
It couldn't be
that different.
It's all set.
Just push "enter."
Computer:
transmission code loaded.
Press "enter."
Wait up! Wa-wait.
Are you guys
sure about this?
Eddie, nothing
in science is sure.
That's what makes it
interesting.
Computer: specimen ready
for time retrieval.
All right.
Computer: 10, 9, 8,
Time's arrow
machine engaged.
Prepare for departure.
Passage through time.
Computer:
resident location annulled.
Oh, no, eddie.
You poofed them.
Me? All I did
was push "enter."
What are we
gonna do now?
Ok. Ok, maybe
if we enter all
those numbers again,
Maybe they'll
come back or something.
Are you kidding?
If they couldn't make it,
Well, we're not going to.
Ok, when I make
mistakes on my homework,
I just push "undo."
Eddie,
this isn't homework.
This is a complicated
scientific--
Computer: resident location.
Discus shutting down.
Mom!
Dad!
Ignition sequence
plus delta "x"
Added to "x" squared.
Same theory
as the fuel-injection
rocket
We made
in seventh grade.
Are you guys ok?
Well, we did
send a hamster
Soaring over
a minimarket
Using this equation.
Shouldn't be
that different.
It's all set.
Just push "enter."
Whoa, wait!
We just did this,
and it didn't work.
[Doorbell rings]
Oh, no. It's 3:00.
My audition!
What?! Eddie, you can't
have an audition now!
I know, but--
Forget it, eddie.
Get rid of them.
All: whoo!
Boy: it's party time.
Back off. Back off. Ok?
Just give me one minute
to talk to him.
Dude, what's with
the door-slam drama?
Got anything to drink?
Hey, you said I was
having an audition,
not a rave!
What is everyone
doing out there?
We didn't invite them.
Who did?
How should I know?
But it looks like
it's gonna be
A rockin' party, man.
The purdy twins
have got a couple
of cases of root beer.
Help yourself.
Amber's hauling in
humongous bags
of popcorn.
Wow! As thrilling
as that sounds, colin,
We are not having
a party here!
What are all
these people doing here?
It sounds like there's
a million kids outside.
Oh, no worries.
I only counted 132.
Hey, marie,
you're looking
pretty pretty today.
Eddie, what are all
these people doing here?
You tell me,
and then we'll both know.
Joey: where should
we be setting up
all the equipment?
Uh, backyard.
You can use the patio
for our stage.
Uh, no. No.
No stage, no band,
No equipment,
no 132 crashers,
No party.
Look, tell him.
I just live here.
Maybe you should
think about getting
a little warmup, dude.
And I'll be saving
a spot for you
right up front.
Kids, chanting:
party! Party! Party!
Am I losing my mind,
or was he just
flirting with you?
Both.
[Rock music playing]
If only that stupid
time machine was working,
I'd be sending myself
back to last week.
You know--
[Boom]
[Everyone screams]
Wow. What a rush.
[Both cough]
Well, we figured out
the problem.
It definitely has to do
with the machine.
[Norton coughs]
you ok?
Marigold:
yeah, I'm good.
♪ I don't remember you
in class last week ♪
♪ And you're the one
that had to feel this way ♪
I think we should
compare what's
in the design drawings
To what actually
made it into the machine
And see if they match up.
Cool. Go for it.
Great.
Norton...
Norton!
Pay attention,
please!
Hello?
Is anyone down here?
Um, this is, like,
a really bad idea,
Coming down here
right now, so...
Let's just go back
to the party. Ok?
I can't have this party
going on today.
It's a disaster.
Why not? Cloe gave us
the exciting scoop.
Aren't you dying?
What are you
talking about?
You and colin.
Cloe says that he likes you,
And you like him.
It's so cool.
Where'd she
get that idea?
From your mother.
I knew it. I knew it.
You don't like him?
Too bad.
He acted all pumped
when he found out.
He was?
Ok. No. I cannot
deal with this right now.
We're down to less
than 3 hours
until poof point.
What point?
Oh, forget it.
So, uh,
on this one, we want you
to sort of play along,
Get yourself into it,
And then we'll set you
up for a bass solo,
And, uh, we'll give you
a chance to show us
what you've got.
Sound cool?
I guess.
All right,
ready, guys?
Colin: you guys
ready to rock?
All right. Let's do it.
[Playing rock tune]
[Kids cheer]
♪ Woke up with
that empty feeling ♪
♪ In my head ♪
This is clear
and utter defiance.
I warned marie
about her parents,
And what does she do?
She throws a huge party.
Those ballards
are all alike--
Not one iota
of respect for others.
Should we
go over there?
I think we should
call the police.
All I can say
is that I'm very glad
That our lizzie
isn't the type of child
Who would ever even
want to be a part
Of such blatant
hooliganism!
Ooh!
[Urban slugs playing]
Marie: norton,
what are you doing?
You have
to concentrate.
What's the point?
It's not like we're
getting anywhere.
I want to be up
with the other kids.
I want to party!
Whoo! Ha ha!
No, see, first of all,
There wasn't supposed
to be a stupid party.
Well,
why are you acting
like it's my fault?
Because you were
the one who told cloe
to organize it.
Oh, no,
I didn't.
Does it really matter?
Look, they're here,
They don't want
to leave, and...
We're running out of time.
That's all the reason
we should be partying!
Oh, so you're
gonna give up?
Like we got a choice.
You do. You have to!
Hold on.
Look, nobody panic.
Nobody leave.
I got to go get eddie.
Hey, marie...
Lizzie!
You know, you act
like you're some
big friend of mine,
And then you go
throw some huge party
And don't even bother
to invite me.
Look, there wasn't
even supposed to be
a stupid party.
It was my mother's idea.
Your mom's?
Look, if you're
gonna blow me off,
You can at least come up
with a better lie.
Look, can we
deal with this later?
'Cause I really need
to go talk to eddie.
And besides, I happen
to be telling you the truth.
Really?
That's so cool.
My parents would never
let me have a party.
They'd be too afraid
someone might mess up
their perfect house
Or ruin
their perfect lawn.
Do you know how sick
to death I am of trying
to be perfect?!
Let me guess. Really sick?
So sick, there isn't
a doctor on the planet
That could cure me.
Well, look, if you
want to go to the party,
I mean, you can.
Really?
Thanks.
Marie, norton did it!
He found a part
that's supposed to be
in the machine,
And it's not.
It's described in detail
in the notes.
There's even
a scale drawing,
But it's not
in the machine.
Yeah!
So, do you think
that's what set off
The whole de-aging deal
in the first place?
Maybe. All we have to do
Is find the missing piece,
put it in its place,
Re-enter the equations,
And then we--
[hiccups]
And what?
Eddie: more hiccups.
And you know
what that means.
[Hiccuping furiously]
Marigold,
what was he gonna tell us?
What was he trying to say?
He just wants us to--
[hiccups]
Oh, no. Mom!
Not--not you, too.
Mom, no.
Wow. Trippin'.
Ok, uh, get back
to the lab, you guys.
Come on. Both of you.
Now. Come on.
And I'm gonna--
I got to go get eddie.
[Kids cheering]
Gotta say, ballard,
that actually didn't reek.
Uh, eddie--house--
disaster--more--
[hiccups]
Need me to get you
a glass of water?
No, uh...
I need you to come
to the lab, eddie.
Marie, give me
it's an emergency.
Is this
how it's gonna be
When we let you
into the band?
Every day,
another emergency?
No! Ha ha!
You see, trust me.
Um, see, this emergency
only can happen once.
Eddie is
totally dependable.
He is also
a great musician.
Gee, marie.
Thanks.
Beep-beep,
beep-beep-beep-beep!
Whee! Whee!
Rrrrrr...
Eddie: nothing
ruins a party more
Than having
Especially
when they're your parents.
[Kids gasp]
[Kids scream]
Girl: what is it doing?
Oh, my gosh!
Excellent.
Whoa!
[All scream]
My turn! My turn!
No! Not in the house!
I just want you
to know your mother
is my total role model.
Cut it out!
You are gonna be
in so...much...
Trouble!
Hey, you're not
the boss of me!
I don't even
know you!
Everybody
out of my way!
Uhh!
Ha ha ha ha!
Whoo hoo hoo hoo!
Unh!
Oh, finally.
Ooh, you k*lled it.
Ooh, I'm gonna
tell on you.
Marigold: wha--what?
We were only making
just a little fun.
I think we've
had enough fun.
Let's go.
Marigold and norton:
no! I don't want to!
Eddie: move!
Marigold: no! No!
Me want to stay here
with the big kids.
Eddie: you ain't
staying here, marigold.
[All talk at once]
Stranger danger!
Stranger danger!
We don't
even know you.
We're your--
your baby-sitters.
Uh-uh. Uh-uh,
'cause I'm 7,
And we don't
need no dumb
baby-sitter.
Dumb, dumb, dumb--
Look, if you two
don't behave, we're
gonna make sure
We give your parents
a really bad report.
Yeah, we can do it, too.
We'll make absolutely sure
that they punish you.
Come on.
No! No! Aah!
Ow! Ow! Ow!
Ow! Ow! Ow!
Get goin'! Go!
Ow! Ow!
We'll tell them
to take away
Your tv privileges
for a month.
I don't care.
I don't even
watch tv.
Mmm. 'Cause tv
is for dummies.
Ooh, you're mean.
We'll tell
your parents
Not to allow
you to read.
[Gasps]
What?
You can't do that,
'Cause I love to read.
I love to read
more than you do.
Do not.
I do too,
and don't push me!
Do not.
He touched me.
Knock it off!
Look, if you two
don't want a bad report,
You're gonna
go upstairs with eddie,
And I'll be right there.
What am I supposed
to do with them?
Amuse them, eddie.
I gotta go shut down
the party.
Chick: people, people,
Now, steps have already
been set in motion
To get the ballards evicted
from this neighborhood,
And unless you want
these officers
to notify your parents
About where you've been
and what you've been up to,
You will leave here
immediately.
Marie, I must say
I am very
disappointed in you.
Now, hold on, corkster.
I don't think it's fair
for us to blame marie.
I mean, when you
grow up with parents
Who are too preoccupied
to ever set limits,
How can you not expect
the children to spin
out of control?
That's why you'd never
catch our lizzie
at a party like this.
Whatever.
Mom...
I'm right here.
Now, wait.
Before you get all
mean and judgmental,
Can I just
say one thing?
The ballards may
be a little strange,
But they're also
incredibly wonderful.
Stuff happens
around here for
no apparent reason,
And it's so cool.
This whole party
was mrs. Ballard's idea.
You guys
won't even let me
Have friends over
for milk and cookies.
This only
serves to confirm
my worst suspicions.
The ballards are
a dangerous influence
Who should be removed
from our neighborhood.
Officers,
I want you to arrest
these people at once.
Mom, just in case
you haven't noticed,
Spontaneity
isn't a crime.
Besides, if you do
get them evicted,
Don't ever
expect to speak
to me again.
All: whoo!
All right.
All right.
No need to ignite
world w*r iii here.
Now, you call
this party to a halt,
And we will consider--
Consider
giving your family
one more chance.
Ahh. Gladly.
Well, you heard the man.
Party's over.
[All boo]
bummer.
[Beeps]
[marigold hums]
Get--get...
You guys,
pay attention!
W-why should i?
I don't wanna find
some dumb missing part.
I wanna ride
on the spaceship.
Eddie: norton, how many
times do I have to tell you?
You can't go for a ride
in the spaceship
Until you find
the missing part.
Find it, and you
can go for a ride.
For real?
Me, too. I wanna go.
You're so dumb,
marigoldlocks.
Girls can't go
in the spaceship.
Yes, we can, too.
Can not.
Better than boys.
Can not.
We can go better
than boys.
Yes, we can.
Can not.
Can not.
[Screams]
you're
scared to go.
Right. Mmm.
Oh.
C-cool it!
Whoever finds
the missing part first
Gets the first ride
in the spaceship.
Me first!
I'm first!
I'm first!
That's me! I got it!
[Clock beeping]
[Whimpers]
Unh. Eh.
[Spits]
pfft. Ah. Pfft.
Marie: eddie?
Anything?
Nothing.
[Sighs]
Where's
mom and dad?
Still looking.
Computer: caution.
Caution. 15 Minutes
to poof point.
We're doomed, aren't we?
How can this
be happening, eddie?
If they poof this time...
It's gonna be for real.
[Sighs]
You know what's
really amazing
Going through
all this?
Who in the world
would have
ever thought
That our parents...
Are actually...
Like us.
[Hiccuping]
[Crash]
quick!
[Pants, light bark]
What the?
[Squeals]
I want my bottle!
Marigold,
how old are you?
This many.
Oh, no.
Norty? Are you
in there?
Oh.
[Laughs]
norty make a mess.
[Laughs]
Eddie: so, this is
where you came in.
Now you can see,
with minutes left
until poof point,
We were desperate...
But how could
we save our parents
Without the vector
modulator?
Eddie: sit.
Here's
your treats.
I want purple!
Red's better.
I got purple.
[Squeals]
What's goin' on?
All right.
The whole time
I was looking for
the vector modulator,
I was thinking...
Even if we find it,
What if that's not
the only problem?
And then, I remembered
what mom said about
How they originally
calculated
their formulas,
And then--
promise not to tell
any of my friends--
I actually
started to think
like a scientist.
No way.
I know.
So, what did
you figure out?
This whole density
and mass stuff,
It wasn't based
on mom and dad's
weight.
It was based
on the weight
of the goldfish.
Oh, no!
Is that bad?
It's gotta be.
I'm betting
We're gonna
have to redo
all the math,
Or we'll never
get 'em back.
Ok, you stay here
and keep workin',
And I'll go get
the bathroom scale.
[Squeals]
Oh, doggie!
Oh, doggie?
Oh, look at you.
Look at doggie.
[Whimpers]
oh, hi, doggie.
[Whimpers]
hi, doggie.
Doggie,
doggie, doggie.
Eddie: einstein waited
his whole life
For dad's attention...
Norton:
oh, nice doggie.
Eddie: and when
he finally got it...
He gave dad
a special treat.
Doggie wanna
play ball?
It's my ball!
No, it's my ball.
It's mine!
No, it's my ball!
It's mine!
No, it's not!
It's mine!
Gimme!
It's not! It's not!
Marie, look!
Norton: stop!
Marigold: that's not nice!
My ball!
Eddie:
the vector modulator.
They're gonna break it!
Marie: quick, grab it!
Aah!
No!
Yay! Nice doggie!
Yay! I got--
Oh, my gosh!
Oh.
Good boy!
Computer: caution. Poof point
in 3 minutes, 36 seconds.
Vector modulator installed.
[Sighs]
Ok, guys.
Coloring time's over.
Aw.
Ok, come
over here with me.
I'm gonna take you
for a really nice ride.
Oh! A horsey ride?
Whatever.
Oh!
Oh!
Ok, come on, guys.
Let's go.
Horsey ride.
Aah!
Horsey! Come on, horsey!
[Claps, giggles]
come on, horsey, come on!
Maybe we should just walk.
Uh, hurry, kids.
Come on. Everybody up.
Let's go.
Gotta get
this thing movin'.
Oh.
Yeah, ok, come on.
No!
It's ok. Come here.
Uh-oh.
No!
Come on, norton.
It's ok. Come here.
Mmm.
Norton, get over...
Get over--
unh. Unh.
Computer:
poof point in 3 minutes.
Poof point in 3...
Norton, do you have
to go potty?
Mm-hmm.
Now?!
Uh-huh.
Can't you hold it?
Mm-mmm.
Oh, this
is just great.
Man, we don't
even know if
he's toilet-trained.
Norton, do you
know how to use
the big boy potty?
Mm-mmm.
Oh, since
we're way close
to poof point,
I'm gonna go
with the theory
That there's
a first time
for everything.
Get the machine
fired up. We'll
be right back.
Come on, norton.
Bye-bye.
Computer: begin initial
countdown sequence.
Final countdown
to poof point
How you doin'
in there, big boy?
You almost done?
Man, what's takin'
him so long?
How am I
supposed to know?
Well, didn't you
tell him to hurry?
You can't rush someone
doing their business, eddie.
You'll traumatize him
for life.
Well, if we don't
get him out
in 2 minutes,
He won't
have a life.
[Pounds]
come on, norton!
Let's go!
Norton: norton
make a pee-pee!
Hallelujah!
Clock computer: 1:40...
Wanna see?
Eddie:
oh, no.
Let's go.
Marigold:
norton! Norton!
I want a space ride!
Hurry up!
Space ride!
Spacey ride!
Computer: 1:25...
Ready?
Marigold: a spacey ride.
Here goes nothing.
X, slash, v...
Clock computer: 1:05...
Whoo!
Did you hear that?
Type faster!
Marie: 7, slash,
x, slash, v...
Plus density,
c, 89, slash...
Whoo!
What's the matter?
Is that it?
Computer:
press enter.
Enter.
Computer:
settings for time retrieval.
Time arrow machine engaged.
Prepare for departure.
Space ride!
Specimens identified.
Specimens h*m* sapien,
one male and one female.
[Both chatter]
De-aging in progress
continues
To one year.
Subjects
the age of 6 months.
Are you sure
you did it right?
I think I did.
Computer: 3 months.
Subjects de-aged 2 months.
Danger. Proof point
in 10 seconds.
Danger.
Poof point imminent.
Poof point 5, 4...
[Coughs]
ooh.
Marigold?
Norton?
What...
W-what...
Oh, my word.
Did we in fact
take ourselves
To the very
brink of...
Poof point?
You--you remember?
Well, just bits
and pieces, son. I...
It's all
extremely fuzzy.
Did I say
something about...
Making a...
Pee-pee?
Marigold: norton.
I don't understand.
What has happened to us?
I'm not sure
precisely,
But I'm extremely
happy to be back.
Oh. Oh.
Yes.
Both: kids.
Marigold: yes.
[All laugh]
[woof]
Einstein,
einstein, hey!
All right.
Our dear, faithful,
sweet dog.
Did that just come
out of my mouth?
Yes, dear.
I'm just so glad
to be back.
We missed
you guys so much.
We were
so scared.
We love
you guys.
You did
a wonderful job.
[Einstein barks]
Marie: we were
absolutely sure
We were going
to lose you guys.
It was so scary.
But how perfectly
thrilling
For you and eddie
to come upon
And correct an error
in our calculations
That even
we failed to notice.
Well, so much
for your
"We didn't get
the science gene"
disclaimer.
[All laugh]
Marie: so, I guess
this means we won't
Be getting away with cs
in biology next year.
Exactly, young lady.
[Laughs]
well, just think
about it.
I mean, doesn't it seem
like only yesterday
that we were 14?
Marie: yesterday?
[Sighs]
let's try this morning.
[Guitar playing]
Eddie: since
all this happened,
we've been doing
A lot more things
together as a family--
Average things
like having barbecues...
What you got?
Eddie: playing music...
And taking trips.
We just returned from
a little time traveling
back to 1975,
Where I got to play
bass with bob marley
and the wailers.
Now, that's smooth
and cool.
[Plays bass]
Peace, mon.
