02x13 - Phil of the Garage

[bunniefuu]

[yawning loudly]

[sniffs] Whoa!

Hohh! That's not clean.

Good morning, sweetheart.
Breakfast is ready.

Mom, I'm not dressed!

[laughing] Oh, Phil, I was there

the day you popped out of your natal pod.

You don't have anything
I haven't seen already.

Yeah, except for the sign on the door that
says "please knock."

Hey, Phil! That "please knock" sign

is lookin' a little shabby.

I'll touch it up for you as soon as I
store these photon conduits.

Dad, look. I know that space in the garage
is a little tight right now,

but why does my room have to become
your storage closet?

Because the sign on Pim's door

says "keep out or else," and I don't want

to find out what "or else" means.

Well, I don't have room for all this junk.

This unit is not junk.

Be careful what you say

around the time engine C.P.U.

It's a little emotionally
unstable right now.

This unit reads lips, you know.

And this unit's going through
a lot right now.

Well, if it's ok with everyone else
in this family,

I kinda find getting dressed

a little bit of a private affair.

No problem. I got some more stuff
to bring up, anyway.

[sighs]

Nothing personal.

Nothing this unit hasn't seen already.

[Swiss yodeling music plays]

[gasps]

Pim!

Do you think this is funny?

Not yet... But it'll be hilarious

on the front page of my blog.

Hey, everybody, I'm thinkin'

tonight's the night for game night.

Dad, you're still shy 20 large

from last month's game of snakes and
ladders, blood-sport edition.

Well, I have finally found a present-day
game that I can win.

It's called [mispronouncing] charad-zah.

Ooh, charad-zah!

Sounds fancy.
We're gonna need some cheese.

It's not called charad-zah.

It's called charades. All right?
And if you don't mind,

I'm gonna take a rain check.

Rain check. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I haven't even lost yet.

Phil, it's game night.

Don't you want to spend time
with your family?

I think I spend enough time with you
all in my room.

You just walk in whenever you want.

You store all your time machine junk

in there, and you... Live here.

It... [sighs] Don't get me wrong.
All right?

I love almost all of you, but I think

what I really need is some privacy
in my own room.

[loud rumbling]

Sounds like your own room
is about to blow a gasket.

Maybe I shouldn't have stored the
hysterical fuel cells

next to the self-propelled spark rods.

[crashing]

[clattering and breakage]

Yeah, that was probably a mistake.

My room!

You're not getting any privacy

with that giant gaping hole in your floor.

Tough break, kid.

This is way too big to fix for the wizard.

Maybe dad will lend me
some of his future tools.

Are you kidding? My tools are calibrated

for high-tech plastics and composites,

not for wood and nails.

They're extremely, extremely sensitive.

[clatter]

Oh. Little help, please.

Well, where am I gonna sleep?

You'll just have to bunk with Pim

until we can get this fixed.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

That was a good one, mom.

Yeah. Way to cut the tension.

Ha ha ha... oh!

Oh... Oh, I'd rather

live in the garage.

Well, I'm open to any better ideas.

I'd rather live in the garage!

Hey, I think that's a great...

Ly... bad idea. Greatly bad.

I... I hate to say it, but I agree
with your father.

You are too young to be living
in the garage.

I say it's high time to push him
out of the nest

and say, "fly, baby bird!

Spread those wings and make us proud."

I agree with your mother.

I haven't said anything yet.

Oh, it's just kind of
a technicality, isn't it?

Mom, you just said Phil is so young,

he should live in the garage.

No... I didn't.

Uh, that's what I heard.

I'm just sayin' I agree.

What's it gonna be, mom?

[suspense music builds]

Just... until...

Yes! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you,
thank you, thank you! Thank you!

The house...

Is mine!

All mine! Ha ha ha ha ha!

- [coughing]
- Pim!

I've told you a hundred times

if you're gonna disappear
under cover of a smoke b*mb,

take it outside!

[distantly] Sorry, mom.

I really appreciate you makin' room
for me, Curtis.

Uh... uhh... Tsee-Tonga.

What's the matter?

Newcomer not allowed live inside

without first ceremony of king.

Ah. [Chuckles]

Is this gonna take long?

Curtis must thank sun,
earth, wind. 3 days.

Can we snap it up a little?

Hmm...

Ahh, we no thank wind.



Ceremony begin!

- Tseeaahhh...
- [drumbeats]

Tseee... tonga!

[thunder]

Aaahh! Haaaahh!

Whoa, h*! Aaaahh! Haahh haahh!

Make it quit! Make it quit!

Um... Sun Tonga! Tonga!

[bird tweets]

Wind very persnickety today.

Yeah.

Ok.

Ha ha!

- Where do I put my bags?
- No, no! Not there!

No! Not there.

Just give Curtis.

[clattering]

Switch that make magic light here.

Box that make magic picture... Here.

[fly buzzes]

What's this?

Honor bar.

This is awesome!

Curtis run a few errands.

Phil need anything?

No. No, I'm good.

Ok. Ok. Tsee Tonga.

Hey, girlie.

Hey, Phil.

I came... By to... See the new...

What do you think?

It's a garage.

I know! Isn't this the coolest
place to live ever?

Yeah, if you're a car. [Chuckles]

I admit it's no swanky penthouse

in the Pickford Swank District.

You know, this is my chance to get free
from under my parents!

You're right. I'm... I'm sorry.

I think you can really do a lot
with this place.

And the first thing we're gonna do

is throw you a garage-warming party.

[sighs]

Feed me.

Come on, ma. I'm on empty.

I... Set 4 places for breakfast,

but we only need [tearfully] 3.

Seems like only yesterday
that Phil ate breakfast here.

It was yesterday.

Remember the first day...

Right after he moved out?

That's now. You're being nostalgic
about now!

I know it's hard
for you to understand, Pim.

When you get older, you'll see that time

really does fly.

Has anyone seen my welder's helmet?

Not if dad's the pilot.

Lloyd, have you made any headway
with the floor repair?

Sweetie, you're forgetting we don't live
in the 22nd century,

where you have everything you need

with the press of a button. I'm gonna
have to go out

and find a place that specializes
in hammers, nails,

uh, paints, plaster. It's not like
I can quit my job

at the hardware store and then just...

Wait a minute. I just thought of a place.

Bruno. Hey. Phil Diffy.

How's the H.G. Wells star quarterback?

Hey, congrats on winning

the Fingerbowl last week. Yeah.

Listen, Keely and I are throwing

a housewarming party at my place tonight.

Uh, and, well, you're on the short list.

Yeah. I... I got my own crib out back.

[loud vacuuming] Hello!

Bruno?!

Bruno!

Hey... I gotta go.

Curtis, I was on the phone.

Feet also on table.

Where've you learn manners? Barnyard?

I'm not the caveman here.

Could fool Curtis.

Phil clothes.

Oh, Phil, Phil, Phil.

Now... Curtis clothes.

Phil books...

Curtis books.

Curtis arrange by author...
Then subject.

Are you finished?

Now we talk about throwing party

without Curtis approval?

Ok. I just moved away from my mother.

I don't need another one.

Then stop acting like child.

I am not a child.

I'm a responsible adult...

Like person, and I don't need
your permission

to throw a party.

In Curtis cave, you play by Curtis rules.

Ok, technically, this isn't a cave.

And even more technically,

this cave is my garage!

Oh! Phil claim Curtis cave?!

Oh, you don't scare me.

- Arrhh!
- Ok. Ok. You scare me a little.

- Phil! Great news.
- What?

First of all, in the 21st century,

there are these places
called hardware stores.

I work at one!

- Ha ha!
- Your father found

some present-day tools he
can use to fix your floor.

You'll be able to move back in
in no time.

- Yeah!
- [Pim] What?!

[door slams]

[footsteps]

[door opens and closes]

[footsteps]

[door opens and closes]

[footsteps]

[footsteps]

I couldn't help but overhear.

Look, I don't want to move back in.
I like it out here.

And I like him out here.

Phil, you are too young

to be living in the garage.

When are you going to get it? I'm not
a little kid anymore.

Barb, it's not gonna hurt

to let Phil give it a shot.

Wait. Curtis no want to live
in garage with Phil.

Then you can live in my room.

[laughing] Yes!

Mmm... Curtis on board.

Well, h*-hold on. Hold on.

Phil's bedroom floor isn't fixed yet.

It's gonna take quite a while.

You got lumber, floor joists,

perhaps a plumb line?

Yeah. Curtis solve problem right now.

[rip]

Mmm... yeeeaahh!

[electronic beeping]

Yeah.

Nice job.

[Curtis] Yeah.

I'm not crazy about the rug.

[gasps]

Uh, Curtis still have to sand it.

Great. Uh, Curtis can have my room, and
I'll take the garage.

If you want to break a mother's heart!

- Yes!
- Yes! Ha ha!

- Ha ha!
- Ohhh...

Don't worry.

I'm still your little boy...

Barb.

Ohhh... My baby's come home.

Got to stop doing that every time I walk
in the door, Barb.

Mrs. Diffy? Mom?

Ah. A little snack for game night?

Actually, dad...

Mr. Diffy. Lloyd?

What? It's fun.

I... Am throwin' a little party
at my place tonight.

Well, since you want to be,
uh, treated as an adult...

"Bill for food"?

[chuckles] Get this stuff
cheaper at the store.

You're paying for convenience.

That's why I located here.

And while we're on the subject...

Gas... Electric...

Water. Internet?

Welcome to grown-up world.

You get the gains, you get the pains.

[chuckles]

Very funny, Lloyd.

[party music playing]

Scooter. Hey, good to see you, man.

Denise, you're lookin' good.

[♪♪♪]

Hey, Dego, if you need a place to crash,

you can totally stay here. Ok?

I have to admit...

The place looks amazing.

You'd never even know it's a garage.

[loud knocking]

Hupp. Got it!

- [door opener hums]
- Whoa!

Hey... Bruno!

And you brought your crew.
Come on in, Bruno's crew.

Cool. You got your own place.

Yeah. Yeah. Would've been long ago,

but, you know, parents
couldn't bear to lose me.

You can see their house from here.

Brought you a little housewarming.

Some of Bruno's famous slaw.

It's... It's empty.

We got caught in traffic.

Congratulations on winning
the Teriyaki Poll.

You know, Keely, uh...

All we can really do is try.

But when you try with a little umph,

you get umph out of your try...

Which makes triumph. [Chuckles]

[sighs uncomfortably]

That's right. Chew on that
while I chew on this.

[circuit breaker shuts off]

[all] Ohhh... Aw... Ohhh...

All right, everybody, just relax.

I'll handle this...

And, Bruno, that... that's me, not Keely.

Sorry.

[indistinct chatter]

That's still me.

Lloyd, you turned off

the electricity in the garage.

Sorry, Phil, but you didn't
pay your bill.

But we just got this party started.

Can't you wait to turn off the electricity
till later, like, when I go to sleep?

Sure... In kid world,

but this is adult world,

where electricity goes off when you
don't pay your bills.

Phil, everybody's gonna head home!

I mean... What can a bunch of teenagers
do in a garage

in the dark with no parental supervision?

You're right. All right. Well,
thanks for comin'.

F.Y.I...

The slaw container's not dishwasher-safe,

so if you could just give it a quick
little rinse-ski...

That'd be good.

I'm gonna head home, too.

Happy garage.

Phil. Why don't you come in the house

for dinner and game night? You can be
on my team for [mispronouncing] charades!

That is my home,
and that's where I'm staying.

I don't need electricity,
and I don't need you!

[clattering]

Can you at least keep the electricity on

until I get to the couch?

Thank you.

Curtis. It was so nice of you
to cook tonight.

Thanks, mom.

And delicious! What was this?

Beef? Pork? Chicken?

Uh... Just say... Not fast runner.

Oh.

There are so many things
I like about Curtis.

He's not Phil, he has
no Phil-like qualities,

and, unlike Phil, he's
someone other than Phil.

Oh! Curtis like Pim, too.

Pim pretty... And smart.

Thank you, Curtis.

Pim good digger, too.

- That's enough, Curtis.
- Digger?

Curtis find excellent tunnels

from Pim's room to back fence.

Uh, main tunnel, side tunnel,
emergency tunnel...

Zip it, Curtis!

Tunnels?

Pim very thoughtful, too.

Only use dead of night

so not wake up Barb and Lloyd.

You... Are grounded. 2 weeks for every
tunnel you made.

And we mean above-grounded.

You knuckle-dragging yabbo!

Nrrahh!

Enough! We are all gonna join in

in a rousing game of
[mispronouncing] charades

and have a jolly old time. Ok?
Do I make myself clear?

- Yes, dad.
- Yes, dad.

Honey. How can we have game night

without the whole family?

I've already asked Phil, honey,

and he'd rather be in his garage.
He loves it there.

Um...

Oh...

Oh! Oh!

Ooh... oh! Romeo and Juliet!

- Yeah!
- Yes!

Yay! The score... Curtis and Pim, zip,

The Almighty Megalatrons, 3!

- Ha ha ha!
- Ooh!

You'd think someone who could barely talk

would be better at this game.

Ooh, Curtis cut in 2 by Pim wit.

Pim. Your turn.

Here we go. Ha ha!

Focus!



Run! Leave! Go!

Uh, Pim go! Pim dig!

Oh. Pim dig tunnel and leave house!

Bad Pim. Pim grounded.

That's it! You're done!

Pim, down!

Pim no scare Curtis.

Rahrr!

Ok, Pim scare Curtis a little.

They're really havin' fun in there.

Oh!

Just give me 5 seconds with him!

Now, Pim, calm down!

Makalowa tsee-Tonga!

Curtis! Watch your language!

- Get... oh!
- Oh!

- Aah!
- Aah!

[screaming and crashing]

[Lloyd] Ohh! Ooh!

- Ohh!
- Aah!

Ohh! Ohh! How'd you sneak in here?

Tunnel number 3?

You know about 3-zie?

I've always known. I've just never
told mom and dad.

Too bad Jurassic the clown

doesn't share your code of honor.

One day, and he's already gotten me
grounded for a month.

Well, let's just hope he doesn't figure
out your plan

to breed and market attack squirrels.

You know about that, too?

See? You're a much more worthy opponent.

Too bad you're out of here. Right?

[sighs]

I'll break my rule
and be honest with you.

I don't really love being on my own,

but if I tell mom and dad,

then I'm right back where I started.

I'm seeing a mutually
beneficial arrangement.

I get rid of Curtis

and you get your room back
without groveling.

Look, I am willing to try anything

if it gets me back into the house

and lets me keep my new-found maturity.

So why'd you sneak in here anyway?

Forget your blankie?

No.

Just a small swatch of fabric
that means absolutely nothing to me.

[wheezing]

[whimpering]

Whoa! Pim!

What's wrong, sweetheart?

Another nightmare about the collapse
of the capitalist system?

[whining] I miss my big brother.

Are we both dreaming the same dream

or did Pim just say she misses Phil?

It's Pim and she's our little girl

and she misses our little boy.

And when did she get freckles?

Lloyd, we are losing touch
with our children!

[as a baby] Is Phil ever coming back?

Lloyd, I don't care how you do it,

I want you to convince Phil
to move back in.

Ok, honey, first thing in the morning.

- [slap]
- Aah!

You mean now, don't you?

Thank you, daddykins.

I'm coming with, honey.

[whimpering]

[door closes]

[sighs]

Ahh, this mattress flexes
to meet my every curve.

Hi, Phil!

Lloyd.

Barb.

Well, won't you come in?

Is there any way we can convince you

to move back into your old room?

Gee, Lloyd, I don't know.

We promise to always knock
before entering your room.

It's your sister Pim,
she really misses you.

Oh.

Well, if it's for Pim...

Sure.

[scoffs]

Kids, huh?

He really is growing up.

Oh!

He dropped his blankie.

Oh.

Oh!

Where did you go? I didn't see you.

[squeak squeak squeak]

I know, I know.

[squeaking]

Good night, Curtis.

Nighty-night, Phil.

- Aah!
- Aah!
