I'VE GOT TEN LIDS AND A DOZEN CONTAINERS.
THIS ONE'S GOT TO FIT.
I THINK IT WILL, DADDY,
BUT DR. MONKEY CHUNKS HAS HER DOUBTS.
PERFECT!
NOT A WORD OUT OF YOU, CHUNKS.
MY FANTASY IS--MY FANTASY IS ONE DAY I'LL HAVE A LID
FOR EVERY CONTAINER
AND NO MORE SOCKS WILL GO MISSING.
WOW. MY FANTASIES HAVE GOTTEN REALLY DEPRESSING.
- HEY, DAD. - YEAH.
CHECK IT OUT. FITZY'S DAD JUST BOUGHT HIM
THE NEW BRICK-CONNEKT MEGA-STRUCTURES EDITION.
IT'S A 6,000-PIECE EXACT REPLICA OF THE TOREN MALIFA.
TOREN MALIFA?
ISN'T THAT ONE OF THOSE GIRLS FROM 90210?
NO, NO, NO, IT'S ONE OF THE TALLEST BUILDINGS IN THE WORLD.
- OH, OKAY. - AND I'LL PAY FOR IT.
I PROMISE. I'LL PAY FOR IT.
YOU'LL PAY FOR IT?
YOU HAVE $600?
I JUST NEED A SMALL ADVANCE ON MY ALLOWANCE.
YEAH, OKAY. HOW SMALL?
UM, $599?
ARE YOU CRAZY? I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU--
EVEN IF I DID GIVE YOU THE MONEY
FOR THIS--THIS-- THIS QUEEN LATIFAH THING--
TOREN MALIFA.
TAMEDO, TAMIFO-- WHATEVER IT IS.
JOE, I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE MONEY.
YOU'LL DO TO THIS WHAT YOU DO WITH EVERYTHING.
YOU GET BORED WITH IT IN TWO SECONDS.
WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?
JOE, YOU BEGGED ME FOR A BANJO.
YOU EVEN NAMED IT BAN-JOE.
IN MY DEFENSE, NOBODY TOLD ME PLAYING THE BANJO
WAS GONNA BE HARD.
YOU BEGGED ME FOR FLAMENCO LESSONS,
AND NOW YOU WANT TO QUIT?
IN MY DEFENSE, I'M NOT QUITTING THE HAT.
YOU BEGGED ME FOR A SNAKE-CHARMER KIT.
I GOT YOU THE BASKET.
I GOT YOU THE FLUTE.
WHERE'S THE SNAKE?
IN MY DEFENSE...
RUN!
LOOK, KEVIN FOUND THE SNAKE IN HIS TRAILER BATHROOM,
SO IT'S ALL FORGOTTEN.
NOT BY KEVIN.
I HAVE TO DO A REPTILE CHECK AROUND HIS TOILET
EVERY TIME HE HAS TO GO.
BUT, DAD, IT'S NOT JUST FOR ME, IT'S FOR US.
WE CAN BUILD IT TOGETHER.
THAT'S WHAT FITZY AND HIS DAD ARE DOING.
YOU WANT TO DO THIS TOGETHER?
OH, WE'LL DO THIS TOGETHER. THAT'S SWEET OF YOU, SON.
GOING TO FITZY'S. SEE YA!
WAIT. I-- [door opens, closes]
WE DO THIS TOGETHER.
MM, IN HIS DEFENSE,
YOU REALLY SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING.
EASY FOR YOU TO CRACK WISE
WHEN THAT SNAKE IS ON THE LOOSE AGAIN.
[screaming]
IS IT JUST ME, DAVID, OR DO YOU FEEL LIKE
WE'RE BONDING? [laughs]
- IT'S JUST YOU. - OKAY.
HEY, DAD, I'M GONNA GO CHANGE,
THEN HEAD OVER TO CARLOS' TO WATCH A MOVIE.
WAIT, WHOA, WHOA, AREN'T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?
I SHOWERED TUESDAY.
NO, LAST TUESDAY.
YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING UNTIL YOU FINISH BUILDING
THIS THING OVER HERE, OKAY?
EXCEPT MAYBE SHOWER.
- BUT, DAD-- - NO BUTS.
YOU'RE GONNA LEARN TO FINISH WHAT YOU START.
OKAY?
YEAH, AND IF YOU NEED US, YOUR FATHER AND I
WILL BE SOMEWHERE BONDING
OVER WHATEVER DAVID WANTS TO BOND ABOUT.
- I DON'T WANT TO BOND. - ME EITHER.
LOOK AT US BONDING OVER NOT WANTING TO BOND.
THIS IS A PRETTY BIG DECISION.
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GET RID OF DR. MONKEY CHUNKS?
I'M SURE.
TODAY CHARLOTTE GOT RID OF HER TEDDY BEAR,
AND NOW I'M THE LAST ONE IN CLASS WHO HAS A DOLL FRIEND.
OKAY, IF YOU'RE POSITIVE.
YES.
SO, NO MATTER WHAT I SAY,
NO MATTER HOW MUCH I BEG, DO NOT GIVE HER BACK TO ME.
- GOT IT. - GOT IT?
GOT IT.
WAIT. ONE LAST GOOD-BYE.
SURE.
WHAT DID I JUST SAY, MOM?
YOU STINK AT THIS.
I NEED SOMEBODY COLD, HEARTLESS.
- HEY. - PERFECT.
GET RID OF DR. MONKEY CHUNKS FOR ME, DADDY?
OKAY.
TOO HEARTLESS.
SO JANIE FEELS SHE'S OUTGROWN DR. MONKEY CHUNKS,
AND SHE'D LIKE US TO HELP HER SAY GOOD-BYE.
OH. OH, OKAY, I'M SORRY.
GOOD-BYE, CHUNKS.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALL AT ONCE.
WE CAN SAY GOOD-BYE TO DR. MONKEY CHUNKS
A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.
RIGHT, DAVID?
SEEMS LIKE A WHOLE LOT OF EXTRA WORK, BUT OKAY.
HOW ABOUT...
WE BUILD A HOSPITAL FOR DR. MONKEY CHUNKS
SO SHE CAN SPEND MORE TIME WITH HER PATIENTS
WHO MIGHT NEED HER MORE THAN YOU?
- THAT COULD WORK. - OKAY.
YOU'LL REALLY LUCKY, JANIE.
AT LEAST YOU'RE GETTING TO SAY GOOD-BYE.
THAT'S MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR ME AND MRS. FLOPPERS.
WHO'S THAT?
MY SPECIAL DOLL FRIEND.
I'D HAD HER FOR YEARS,
BUT I LOST HER ON OUR FAMILY CAMPING TRIP.
I THOUGHT I PACKED HER,
BUT TURNS OUT MRS. FLOPPERS GOT LEFT BEHIND.
DAD SAID, WHEN HE WENT TO GO BACK AND GET HER,
JUST BEFORE HE COULD REACH HER,
A HAWK SWOOPED IN
AND CARRIED HER OFF INTO THE SUNSET.
A HAWK!
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY SAD.
IT WAS HARD AT FIRST, BUT EVENTUALLY I GOT OVER HER.
AND IF I CAN DO IT, JANIE, I KNOW YOU CAN TOO.
THANKS, EMILY.
COME ON, CHUNKS, IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN TOO.
LOOK AT YOU.
YOU HANDLED THAT BEAUTIFULLY, SWEETIE.
I KNOW THIS MIGHT SOUND KIND OF WEIRD,
BUT SOMETIMES I STILL THINK ABOUT MRS. FLOPPERS
AND WONDER HOW SHE'S DOING.
I PICTURE HER BEING QUEEN OF THE HAWKS.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S EVEN FUNNIER?
MRS. FLOPPERS IS ACTUALLY QUEEN OF THE ATTIC.
- [chuckles] - WHAT?
WELL, YOU'D HAD MRS. FLOPPERS FOREVER,
AND YOU WERE HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE SEPARATING.
OH, DON'T SOFT-PEDAL IT. YOU WERE GETTING WEIRD, EMILY.
YOU KNOW, ON YOUR TENTH BIRTHDAY YOU SAID MRS. FLOPPERS
DIDN'T WANT YOU TO INVITE ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS
BECAUSE SHE WANTED SOME MORE "EMILY ALONE TIME."
AND WE THOUGHT IT'D BE BETTER IF MRS. FLOPPERS
JUST BUNNY-HOPPED HER WAY UP TO THE ATTIC.
[laughs]
SHUT UP! [laughs]
SO YOU'RE SAYING MRS. FLOPPERS HAS BEEN IN THIS HOUSE
ALL THIS TIME?
RIGHT ABOVE YOUR HEAD.
[laughs] SHUT UP AGAIN!
[laughs]
CLASSIC MOM AND DAD.
MRS. FLOPPERS, IT'S REALLY YOU!
THERE WAS NOTHING WEIRD ABOUT US.
WHO'S THE FLOPPIEST?
YOU'RE THE FLOPPIEST.
HEY, JOE.
YOU GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING, UH...
YEAH.
LET ME SEE. LET ME HELP YOU OUT A LITTLE BIT,
'CAUSE I USED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
I KNOW THIS PIECE COULD SIT RIGHT--OH, OH.
UGH.
THAT THERE--THAT'S A DESIGN FLAW RIGHT THERE.
HEY, MARCUS, YOU READY?
DAD, WHY ARE YOU BEING SO MEAN AND MAKING ME FINISH THIS?
WELL, JOE, BECAUSE EVERYTHING I HAVE IN MY LIFE
I'VE GOTTEN BECAUSE I'VE SET GOALS,
AND I'VE ACHIEVED THEM, OKAY?
LIKE ACTING-- I WANTED TO BE AN ACTOR,
SO I WENT AND TOOK ACTING LESSONS,
AND I GOT MY EARLOBES FIXED.
AH, I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!
AH, KEVIN, YOU OWE ME 50 BUCKS!
DOUBLE OR NOTHING ON THE CALF IMPLANTS!
- DAD? - THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME.
IT'S ABOUT YOU.
YOU HAVE TO LEARN FOLLOW-THROUGH.
SO YOU'VE NEVER GIVEN UP ON ANYTHING?
NEVER.
HEY, DAD.
SO I WAS JUST POKING AROUND THE ATTIC,
JUST FOR FUN, AND GUESS WHAT I FOUND.
MRS. FLOPPERS.
OH, SHE FOUND FLOPPERS IN THE ATTIC.
OH. SHOULD WE BE WORRIED?
GUYS, I'M FINE.
MRS. FLOPPERS IS JUST A CHILDHOOD MEMORY.
I'M GONNA PUT HER ON A SHELF IN MY ROOM FOR OLD TIME'S SAKE.
BUT I'LL MAKE SURE TO CLOSE THE WINDOW
JUST IN CASE A HAWK SWOOPS IN AND TRIES TO SNATCH HER FROM ME.
RIGHT, DAD?
OKAY, SHE SEEMS OKAY.
AH, YEAH, SHE'S FINE.
I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL ALL MY FRIENDS I FOUND YOU.
YOU'RE RIGHT. I DON'T NEED FRIENDS.
GUYS, IS THIS HAIR FROM MY FIRST HAIRCUT?
OH, NO, SON, THAT'S MINE IN CASE THEY NEED TO CLONE ME.
MOM, WHAT'S THIS?
OH, THAT'S THE DAY YOUR DAD AND I WENT SKYDIVING.
DAD, HOW COME YOU'RE NOT IN THE PICTURE?
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T JUMP.
WELL, NO, THAT-- NOT COMPLETELY TRUE.
WHAT HAPPENED, JOE, THERE WAS A LOT
OF, YOU KNOW, TECHNICAL ISSUES WHEN IT WAS MY TIME TO GO.
THERE WAS A LOT OF WIND AND NOISE--
- PARALYZING FEAR. - THAT'S NOT TRUE.
OH, COME ON.
IT TOOK US AN HOUR TO CONVINCE YOU THAT THE PLANE HAD LANDED.
YOU SCREAMED WHEN THE INSTRUCTOR CARRIED YOU OFF THE PLANE.
[screams weakly]
WOW, DAD. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE FOLLOW-THROUGH TO ME.
SO, NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE ANYTHING BUT THIS TO DO.
WAIT. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
WELL, IF YOU CAN'T FINISH WHAT YOU START, WHY SHOULD I?
OKAY, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT--
YOU FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED,
AND I'LL FINISH WHAT I STARTED.
- REALLY? - UH-HUH.
THAT'S HOW BAD YOU WANT ME TO LEARN FOLLOW-THROUGH?
YES.
YOU'D ACTUALLY BE WILLING TO JUMP OUT OF A PLANE?
ABSOLUTELY.
WOW, DAD. THIS IS SO INSPIRING.
LET'S DO THIS.
ARE YOU SAYING...
THAT IF HE FINISHES THAT,
YOU WILL LEAP OUT OF A PLANE...
THAT'S IN THE AIR?
COME ON, HONEY, WHEN HAVE I EVER MOTIVATED HIM
TO FINISH ANYTHING?
OH, COME ON!
WHEN HAVE I EVER MOTIVATED HIM TO FINISH ANYTHING?
I REALLY THINK I SHOULD GIVE DR. MONKEY CHUNKS
ONE MORE HUG GOOD NIGHT.
HONEY, YOU SAID THAT FIVE HUGS AGO.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS IF YOU'RE NOT READY.
[whispering] IT'S NOT ME.
IT'S HER.
- OH. - SHE CAN'T LET GO.
DAVID, YOU WITH US?
WE'RE TRYING TO HELP OUR DAUGHTER HERE.
I COULD BE JUMPING OUT OF A PLANE, AMY.
WHY DON'T YOU REACH IN THERE, GRAB DR. MONKEY CHUNKS,
GIVE HER ONE LAST HUG, AND SAY GOOD NIGHT, HMM?
OH, DAVID, BAD NEWS--
JOE'S REALLY GOING FOR IT.
HE'S ONLY GOT THREE FLOORS LEFT ON THE TOREN MALIFA.
I CAN SEE THAT.
DAVID, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH.
I DID, HONEY.
THAT'S WHY I SAVED MY CLONING HAIR.
LISTEN, I-I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT JOE WOULD FAIL
BUT STILL LEARN THE LESSON OF FOLLOW-THROUGH.
BUT HOW IS HE GONNA LEARN IF HE DOESN'T FOLLOW THROUGH?
I DON'T KNOW.
CLEARLY I DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH ON THAT THOUGHT.
OOH, NICE PLACEMENT.
CHECK IT OUT. THE BOY IS MAKING PROGRESS.
HE'S GONNA BE DONE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
[chuckling]
HE'S LITERALLY FLYING THROUGH IT.
WHOA!
I SEE THAT.
I COULDN'T BE PROUDER.
I THINK I'M GONNA PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER.
YEAH, I--YOU KNOW, I-- YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, JOE.
YOU--YOU'LL BE TOO TIRED TO CELEBRATE.
I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT.
THAT'S SOMETHING ONLY YOUR DAD CAN THINK OF.
I'M GONNA SET MY ALARM FOR DAWN.
THAT'S RIGHT. HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.
YOU JUST GOING TO HIT THE GROUND.
WHOA! [imitates crash]
COME ON, MRS. FLOPPERS,
YOU DESERVE SOME COOKIES AND MILK.
WHAT WAS THAT?
YES, BEING LOCKED IN THE ATTIC FOR SIX YEARS
DOES MAKE YOU A TOUGH COOKIE.
[laughs] OH, MRS. FLOPPERS,
IT'S SO GOOD TO LAUGH AGAIN.
[clatter]
BEST-CASE SCENARIO, HE WON'T HAVE THIS PIECE
FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
[whistling]
YOU'RE IN A GOOD MOOD.
AM I?
EAT IT WHILE IT'S HOT, MRS. FLOPPERS.
OH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET'S GIVE IT UP
FOR JANIE HOBBS, WHO HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED
ONE NIGHT WITHOUT DR. MONKEY CHUNKS.
[applause] - THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I'M A BIG GIRL NOW.
OOPS. I FORGOT MY UNDERPANTS.
EVERYONE, I HAVE GREAT NEWS.
OH, OKAY.
WHAT WAS THAT?
FINE. EVERYTHING DOES GO BETTER WITH WHIPPED CREAM.
TA-DA.
MY GOD, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
I KNOW, CRAZY, RIGHT?
WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT I WAS A FINISHER?
JOE, DID YOU USE ALL THE PIECES IN THE INSTRUCTIONS?
BECAUSE SOMETHING IN MY GUT TELLS ME YOU DIDN'T.
WELL, THERE WERE SOME MISSING.
OH, TOO BAD.
BUT I GOT 'EM FROM FITZY,
SO, OFFICIALLY, IT'S 100% FINISHED.
AH! OH, GOD.
- WELL, GOOD FOR YOU, SON. - NO, DAD, GOOD FOR US.
WE WERE ONCE QUITTERS, BUT NOW WE'RE FINISHERS.
WELL, WE WILL BE ONCE YOU JUMP OUT OF THAT PLANE.
WELL, IT'S NOT THAT EASY, JOE.
YOU KNOW, THOSE PLACES GET BOOKED WAY IN ADVANCE.
I MEAN, IT COULD BE MONTHS UNTIL YOUR DAD
GETS THE CHANCE TO JUMP. - MONTHS?
OH, NO, NO, NO, I WANT TO DO MY FOLLOW-THROUGH
WAY SOONER THAN THAT, KEVIN. - BUT YOU CAN'T.
THAT'S WHY I ALREADY CALLED, DROPPED DAD'S NAME,
AND YOU'RE GOING OUT OF A PLANE AT 12,000 FEET TOMORROW MORNING.
TOMORROW?
12,000 FEET?
THIS IS SO COOL, DAD.
THANKS FOR LETTING US UP HERE, MR. RE-APE-ER.
THAT'S PRONOUNCED "REAPER," FIRST NAME, GRAHAM.
YOUR NAME'S GRAHAM REAPER?
I KNOW, I KNOW-- IT'S NOT THE BEST NAME
CONSIDERING I'M ABOUT TO SHOVE
YOUR HUSBAND OUT THE DOOR AT 12,000 FEET.
[laughs]
OKAY, JUST BREATHE, DAVID.
[breathing heavily]
YOU OKAY, DAVID?
YOU LOOK WHITER THAN WHEN YOU DANCE.
STOP DOING THAT, MARCUS. YOU'RE ROCKING THE PLANE.
MARCUS, STOP TORTURING HIM.
SWEETIE, THE FACT THAT YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR YOUR SON...
YOU'RE SUCH A GREAT FATHER. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO ME?
YES.
IN THE LIVING ROOM ON THE PIANO IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF ME.
EVERY DAY AT 4:13, YOU HAVE TO MOVE IT,
OR THE SUN WILL HIT IT AND MAKE IT FADE.
REALLY?
THOSE ARE YOUR POTENTIAL LAST WORDS?
OH, SORRY.
LOVE YOU.
DAVID, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO SAY TO ME?
YES.
THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT JUST WENT ON IN MY CAR.
I NEED YOU TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE.
I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR LAST WORDS WERE,
"KEVIN, YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE."
THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID!
IT'S WHAT I HEARD.
- YOU OKAY? - I'M TERRIFIED.
OH, THEN DON'T JUMP.
YOU ENCOURAGED YOUR SON TO FINISH WHAT HE STARTED,
AND HE DID.
YOU MADE YOUR POINT.
I CAN'T GO BACK ON MY WORD NOW.
HE'S MY SON. WHAT WOULD I LOOK LIKE?
ONE MINUTE TILL THE REAPER STRIKES!
I NEED SOME WATER.
I PUT A BOTTLE IN JANIE'S BAG.
JANIE!
DR. MONKEY CHUNKS!
HOW DID YOU GET HERE?
AND TO THINK YOU WERE DOING SO WELL FOLLOWING
IN YOUR SISTER'S FOOTSTEPS.
AW, JANIE!
DON'T "AW, JANIE" ME.
YOU HAVE MRS. FLOPPERS.
WHAT? NO--
MRS. FLOPPERS, HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
AW, EMILY.
DON'T "AW, EMILY" ME.
I SAW YOU HIDING JOE'S BRICK-CONNEKT PIECES.
YOU EVEN SWALLOWED ONE.
AW, DAD.
SORRY, BUDDY.
YOU GONNA BE SORRY WHEN THAT THING REARS
ITS SCRATCHY LITTLE HEAD.
DAD, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO MADE ME FINISH IT
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
JOE, WHAT YOUR DAD DID WAS COWARDLY AND SHAMEFUL,
BUT ARE WE REALLY SURPRISED?
AND AS LONG AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SURPRISES, JOE,
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TELL YOUR DAD?
REGARDING?
REGARDING WHEN I SAW YOU SNEAKING THROUGH THE HOUSE
THIS MORNING WHEN I SNUCK IN TO BORROW AN EGG AND SOME BACON.
OH, RIGHT, REGARDING THAT.
I GUESS I REALLY DIDN'T FINISH EITHER, DAD.
I DIDN'T JUST BORROW PIECES FROM FITZY.
I BROUGHT OVER HIS COMPLETE SET.
AW, JOE, THANK YOU FOR NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH.
- WHAT? - YOU DIDN'T FINISH!
YOU DIDN'T FINISH!
THAT MEANS THAT I DON'T HAVE TO FINISH!
IT SEEMS THAT THE LESSON THAT WE LEARNED HERE
IS TRYING IS JUST AS GOOD AS FINISHING.
JANIE, YOU GIVE UP MONKEY CHUNKS WHEN YOU'RE READY.
EMILY...
WE'LL TALK ABOUT MRS. FLOPPERS ANOTHER TIME.
RIGHT NOW I THINK WE SHOULD LAND THIS BIRD
'CAUSE A PIECE OF JOE'S TOREN
IS RACING RIGHT THROUGH MY MALIFA.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, GOGGLES ON.
IT'S GO TIME!
- FLOPPERS! - MONKEY CHUNKS!
SOMETIMES I HATE BEING A DAD.
[screaming]
[laughing hysterically]
[bird screeches]
HI.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
[screeches]
AH, TELL ME SOMEBODY SAW THAT!
