Oh! Gosh... I don't get this.
I don't even... Ugh!
Oh...
Dr Hayword, I'm still not getting this.
Could you take a look?
Hmm. Uh-huh.
Yes. You're close.
-Really? -Keep at it.
You're almost there.
But... but I've been working on this for two straight days
and I'm not sure I can get it.
Simon, you're a very remarkable young man.
-Trust me. You can do this. -You really think so?
-See you tomorrow. -I can't take it anymore!
Excellent! He lasted two more minutes today.
Simon, come on! I'm getting crushed on Glorp's Castle level.
You said you were gonna help like two hours ago!
What is taking so long?
Wait. Look... look at this.
I've been trying to figure out this program
for the last two days.
-It's... it's impossible! -Oh, come on.
It can't be that bad.
I see your problem. It's obvious.
This has been written by aliens.
Argh! It's too much!
Dr Hayword thinks his class is the only class we have!
Dr Hayword? Oh, oh, oh. Right. I know that guy!
Except, you know, we all just call him King Geeknerd.
There used to be ten kids in our class. Ten!
Now, we're down to two. Me and Kevin.
And Kevin went to the doctor last week with ulcers. Ulcers!
OK, OK, you know what? You need to blow off some steam.
So, if King Geeknerd was here right now,
-what would you tell him? -Well, I might mention,
that, you know, perhaps
he might give a little too much homework
-once in a while. -Simon, Simon,
I don't mean hit him with a feather.
Sledgehammer, man! Let him have it!
You tyrant! You think computer science
is the only class I have?
This isn't a full-time job for me!
It's like you sit around all day
trying to figure out ways to torture us!
Scheming like a madman,
when in reality all you are is a pretentious... old... windbag!
Phew! You know what? You're right, Alvin.
That does feel better. It...
Oh, this is really good stuff, Simon.
Wha... what... wha... what... what are you doing?
They say it's good to get it down,
so I just composed a little email to King Geeknerd,
-so that you can-- -Alvin!
Give me back my computer!
Wait! What's the matter with you?
I wasn't going to send it.
I was just going to make sure you--
Hey, guys. What's up?
-You did this! -Hey, hey!
I didn't push the button, you did!
That's because Theodore pushed me into it! Give me that!
Oh, this is bad. This is really bad.
I... I can't believe it.
Wait a minute. Jerk-face?
-I didn't say jerk-face! -Oh, well, yeah... that's true.
I might have, you know, embellished a bit.
But, come on, you have to admit, he does kinda have a jerk-face.
What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?
Simon, relax. Just tell him tomorrow that I did it. OK?
-It's not that big a deal. -Yeah, well, you know what?
It is a big deal! I really admire Dr Hayword!
I was gonna ask him for recommendations for college!
I was going to ask him to help me get my first job.
-I was gonna ask-- -OK. Enough with the list.
Look, if you wanna get the email back,
hack into his computer and get it.
You know what? I won't hack into his computer.
-It's not right! -Simon, of course it's right.
You wrote the email, so it's yours, isn't it?
Exactly!
You're just taking back something that belongs to you.
[alarm]
No, no, no. It's not gonna work.
-Why not? -Because he's a tech genius, OK?
During his off time from school, he invented a security system!
-Oh. Really? -It's called KeepOut. OK?
All the school computers have it.
Oh, so he's rich.
Ho, ho, ho! Then why is he teaching at our school?
To share his knowledge with kids, Alvin.
Look, look, the only way to get that email back
is to physically be at Dr Hayword's school computer.
What are you doing?
We're gonna get your email back.
SIMON: I... I have to say,
I'm very nervous about this, Alvin.
-Oh, no. -What?
Oh, that's just great. That's just great.
It's not just our computers.
The entire school is protected by KeepOut!
Oh, come on. How hard can it be?
Oh, every time he says that, I... I pee in my pants a little.
Guys, guys, just hold on here.
Here's what we're dealing with, OK?
This system has cameras everywhere!
In fact, we're probably on camera right now!
[gasps] What? We're on camera?
Guys, you're totally blowing it, OK? Just act natural.
No, no, no. Natural. See? That's the opposite.
That's very unnatural. Come on!
Oh, you know what? I panicked. There it is.
It's out in the open, all right? Now are you happy?
I... I thought I was acting pretty natural!
Simon, Simon, come on. You just need to focus.
-Now, what do we do? -OK. Right, right. OK.
Probably, uh, you know, take out the cameras.
I should be able to do that from my phone.
There we go. We're completely invisible.
Oh, that's it, Simon. You're back in the game.
Now, all we have to do is...
What? If we're invisible, I thought it would be weird
if our clothes were floating around by themselves.
Um, not... not that kind of invisible, Theodore.
-Put your clothes back on. -My pants too?
-Especially your pants. -Fine.
Ooh, looks like some sort of scanner.
Yeah. It's a retinal scanner.
It's like a digital fingerprint, except for your eye. Anyway...
we're not going anywhere unless we have Hayword's eye.
Oh, OK. I'll get the duct tape and you guys get the--
Wait a minute.
I could probably find a picture of him on the Internet.
Ho, ho! Here we go.
Now, if I can just zoom in close enough...
And then project this image off your eyeball,
-I should be able to-- -What are you doing?
Just hold still, will ya?
Ha, I can't believe it worked!
Just out of curiosity, Theodore,
what was your plan with the duct tape?
Huh, what? Uh... Oh, you know, I was just...
I was just thinking...
It's not important.
If we break just one of those beams,
the whole place is gonna light up with fireworks.
Even I don't think I can get through,
and, well, if I can't, nobody can.
Oh... we were so close!
Oh... now we just... [sighs] have to call it off.
Hold on. I got it. Do what I do.
[♪♪♪]
No, no, no, Theodore! Theodore!
♪ Didn't ever mean to say ♪
♪ Everything I said to hurt you, baby ♪
♪ Wish I could take it away ♪
♪ Make all the hurtful words desert you, baby ♪
♪ One do over's all I needed ♪
♪ Take it back ♪
♪ I swear I'd never, ever repeat it ♪
♪ I never meant to To be mean to or to hurt you, baby ♪
-Oh! -Yes!
Theodore, that was amazing!
I have got a whole new respect for--
Yeah, yeah, 'cause it's all in the hips.
Just keep 'em nice and flexible like this, see? You just...
OK. Cancel the respect.
-Oh, come on. The room's right down here! -Woah!
-Oh! It's password protected. -What was I thinking?
Of course it's password protected!
The man created a software-security company!
Oh, try, like, uh... like, "password".
Password? No, no! It's not gonna be password.
This is... We're dealing with a brilliant mind.
-It's gonna be very encrypted. -Mmm-hmm. Well, I'm in.
-It was "password". -What?
His password is "password"? That never would have occurred to me!
-It's so simple it's brilliant! -Oh, dear.
Aaah!
I've been meaning to change that for some time now.
Oh, oh, Dr Hayword. What are you doing here?
I received an interesting email this evening,
and I figured a certain student of mine
might be making an appearance.
I didn't think he'd get it at home.
Yes, very interesting email.
Said things like tyrant, pretentious windbag.
Oh, and my favourite. Jerk-face.
-Yes! -Dr Hayword, I'm so sorry.
Simon, it's OK.
Sit down a moment, boys. I want to tell you a story.
[gasps] Oh! Does the story have dragons?
-Nope. -Car races?
-Nope. -Well, would you have popcorn?
-Nope. -Can't be much of a story.
Anyway. I knew a boy who had a tough professor,
-and he did the same thing. -Was the professor mad?
Nope. He just smiled and said, "Blowing off steam, eh?
-Good for you!" -So what happened to the boy?
Well, he went on to create a top-of-the-line
security company, then retired to teach computers to kids.
What? But that's exactly what happened to you!
What are the chances?
What? Him?
-Why didn't he just say so? -I'm not going to lie, Simon.
I expect great things from you. I won't stop challenging you.
However, I will check in from time to time
with your other teachers to make sure you don't get overwhelmed.
-Oh, thank you, Dr Hayword. -Well, come on, Simon.
Now you can help me get past Glorp's Castle.
Glorp's Castle? In Data Miner 3?
-That's my favourite level! -You're a gamer?
-Of course! -Wow!
I may have to stop calling you King Geeknerd!
SIMON: Alvin...
What about Commander Jerk-face?
-Alvin! -What?
He said it was his favourite thing!
SIMON: Alvin, stop!
ALVIN: Captain Code-eater or Noob-slayer!
Oh, slow down, this is heavy.
Ho, ho! I did everything Amber asked,
and she's going to love me for it.
No. I did everything Amber asked.
Theodore, that will be our little secret.
Amber! Well, I won't say it was easy,
but here are the library books you needed for history,
your lunches for the entire week,
and all of your party invitations.
Oh, Alvin you're the best!
-How did you do it? -Well, you know...
I did it.
Well, well. Yes, yes, but, you know,
every good executive knows how to delegate.
Well, you have been, like, super helpful.
From now on I know who to ask if I need a favour.
-Thank you so much. -Your wish is my command.
AMBER: Thanks, Theodore.
Humph! Next time, you are staying at home.
OK, so, If I need a favour, I'd ask Theodore.
Oh, I'd ask Theodore.
Oh, Theodore can do it. He's the best.
Yeah, Theodore's the best.
-Theodore. -Theodore.
-Huh? -What's everyone doing here?
I can pencil you in on Thursday at 3 p.m.
Let's see... next year.
Theodore, what's going on?
There's a line of people out there.
I know. They... they want me to help them with stuff.
Define "stuff".
THEODORE: You know, like the stuff I do for Alvin.
Recopy homework, lunches, baking, laundry... stuff.
I should've known you were involved, Alvin.
Theodore, it's great you want to help people, but--
-He means people like me. -Ignore him. The point is that,
you know, there are people who are taking advantage of you.
-Like Alvin. -Ignore him.
But I don't know who's trying to take advantage of me.
You just have to use your judgement, Theodore.
You'll know when someone really needs your help.
Hold on. Bocarter really needs help sorting his bow ties.
OK, fine. Yes, I'll do it.
[school bell rings]
Maybe this will wake you up, Theodore.
I guess I've been so busy I... I forgot to study.
Oh, Theodore, don't worry. It's all gonna be OK.
Simon, he's failing! What do we do?
You need to teach him to say no.
Me? Why me?
Because you're the king of getting out of doing things.
DAVE: Oh, hey, Alvin,
I need you to let the electrician in tomorrow, OK?
Ho, ho! Listen and learn, Theodore.
Oh, sorry, Dave. No, no can do.
You know, way too busy. And that's how it's done.
Nice try. But you're staying home.
I'm depending on you.
Well, guess who's no longer the king?
All right, Theodore, you're going to go out there
and tell all these people on this list
you can't do what they asked, got it?
Oh, I... I'm not sure I can say no.
Remember what Simon said. There are some favours you can do
and others you can't. These you definitely can't.
But, but, I just have a couple of favours that I really need.
We're right behind you, Theodore. You can do this.
OK. Stay... stay close.
Yeah, so a bunch of us are meeting at my house...
Oh!
-Do it! -I'd love you to come.
-Cool. -Jenny!
I need to talk to you and this is really hard for me to say,
but Simon said I didn't have a choice, so here it goes.
I, uh... I can't bake the cake for you.
Oh, no! I was really counting on you, Theodore.
It's for my grandma's birthday. Please!
Well, OK.
Oh, you're the best!
I'm really sorry, Kevin.
I just can't return these library books for you.
I hope that's OK.
Oh, tell me this isn't happening!
There's no way I can get to the library today
and if they're not returned, I'm gonna get fined.
Oh. OK. I'll do it.
You're a life-saver.
But who'll organise my bow ties and baby-sit Neville?
-He loves you. -Oh. Right. I... I'll do it.
All right, well, this isn't working.
ALVIN: Theodore, wake up!
All right, all right. Close your eyes.
-Huh? But I just woke up! -We have a surprise for you.
SIMON: And... open!
[gasps] Wow! That's so cool!
What is it?
It's my latest invention. The No-Buddy!
Let's give it a try!
-This better work. -Oh, it will.
Hey, Theodore. Be the water boy, will ya?
Remember, you have the No-Buddy, OK?
Just shake the ball and repeat what it says.
Oh! Oh, right!
"I can't today. Please ask someone else."
Oh, uh, yeah... OK.
Wow, it really works!
Oh, maybe... maybe now I can say no!

Dude, that was awesome! It was like... electric!
Electric! Oh, no! I forgot about the electrician!
-Hello? Hello? -Alvin?
Oh, Theodore, thank goodness! I need your help.
The electrician is supposed to come over.
Could you please let him in?
Let's see... Hmm. My No-Buddy says "Ask me again tomorrow".
What? No! No!
Theodore! Theodore! This is no time for "no".
This is a "yes", this is a very important, "Yes, Alvin" time!
The electrician's coming over any minute!
"I can't help you. Please ask someone else."
Theodore, I love that you're putting your foot down,
but it's really important you do this for me!
-"Let me think about that." -No, please!
You have to go home to meet the electrician!
"Maybe some other time."
-Oh! -Argh!
So, how was your day, Theodore?
Great! I didn't have to do anything for anybody!
Alvin, were you here for the electrician like I asked?
Oh, well, you know, not exactly...
DAVE: Alvin!
[groans]
-Amber! Hey, what's up? -What's up?
Uh, I have to cancel my party. That's what's up.
-What? Why? -There's so much more to do,
and then I asked Theodore, he was like, "Not today,"
"Find someone else," "Maybe next time."
Amber, look no further. I'll take care of everything.
Are you joking? OMG! You're the best.
OK, so here's the list of the stuff I need.
Oh... All this?
Yeah, by tonight! Ugh! You're a life-saver!
Hey, hey! So, how are my two favourite Chipettes?
Beautiful girls, planting beautiful flowers...
-Can't. -Sorry. Pass.
Oh, fine.
Oh, Simon, Simon! I kinda got myself in a bit of a--
Uh, stop right there, Alvin.
If this is about me doing something for you, I'll pass.
-How did you know? -Eleanor texted me.
-Hey, hey, Britt! -Hi. You can stop right there.
-The answer is no. -What? How'd you even--
-Simon texted me. -Fine.
BRITTANY: Oh, no. Now I'm feeling guilty!
Not really! I was just messin' with ya.
Oh, Theodore, you're just the person I need to see!
-Uh... I don't think so, Alvin. -But Theodore!
Amber needs my... your... our help!
Hmm. Well, I'm pretty sure my No-Buddy will say no.
Here, give me that thing.
Excellent! It says, "Would love to help".
-Oh, let me see that. -No!
Alvin, let me see it!
Oh, no!
Oh! Oh, my buddy...
Oh, I'm sorry, Theodore. But... but, you know what?
-You didn't need it any more. -I didn't?
No. You're gonna be fine. Come with me.
Theodore, what are you doing?
Well, I'm helping Alvin prepare for Amber's party.
-She needs 500 cookies. -Oh, Theodore, come on!
Don't you remember what I said about being taken advantage of?
-Hey, where's you No-Buddy? -It broke.
The power of "no" has left me.
-[sighs] -This stops now! Come on!
[techno music playing]
Ho, hoo! Looking good for Amber's party!
Hello, ladies! Would you care to dance?
How about a little more punch, hmm?
Tell him, Theodore. Tell him "no".
-Alvin, I... I can't. -Theodore, please!
I... I can't help you.
You're on your own!
But what about Amber's party? Who'll do all this stuff?
-You are. -The king of no!
I've got to learn to say no.
I can't believe I got myself into this mess.
