Ta-da!
Thank you, thank you.
And now,
for The Amazing Rickini's
next trick...
Oscar said he's gonna have
a video game bus at his party.
And a chocolate fountain
with all the dippins.
Speaking of dippins,
how about I dippins
to this box
and pull out another trick?
Ooh, I heard karaoke
is gonna be there.
You don't like to sing.
No, Carrie Oakie.
That cute girl from
math class.
Come on, guys.
I need you to pay attention.
Magic's not magic
without an audience.
It's like the light
in the fridge:
since there's no audience
inside to see it,
do we really know if it turns
off when you close the door?
You're right,
we don't know.
Or do we?
No, we don't.
Or do we?
Now observe as I magically
separate these rings.
You know, there is gonna be
a magician at Oscar's party.
Maybe you can ask him
how to do that trick
without the poo-poo face.
First of all,
this is not
my poo-poo face,
and second,
I've already got a whole list
of questions prepared.
For example:
when will I grow armpit hair?
This list is for Dad.
What are those?
Smoke pellets.
[all]
Ooh.
Bup, bup, bup.
They're not toys.
They're an important part
of a magician's toolbox.
They create a cloud of smoke
to distract the audience.
Mom and Dad said I can't
use these in the house.
What if they come in?
They won't.
They're outside
cleaning the gutters.
We're not gonna
leave you hanging.
If you get in trouble,
we all get in trouble.
Yeah, we stick together.
It's the Quad Code.
All for Quad
and Quad for All.
[sighs]
Okay, I'll do it.
[all]
Yes!
Now stand back
and watch The Amazing Rickini
make Squishy Paws
disappear.
Abracadabra, alakazam.
In a puff of smoke,
Squishy will scram!
[both coughing]
Ricky.
What do you have to say
for yourself?
Ta-da.

Ricky,
what were you thinking?
You know you're not allowed to
use smoke pellets in the house.
I wasn't using them.
It's all an illusion.
It wasn't an illusion.
Which means you're in
a lot of trouble.
- Why do I feel like
this is all our fault?
- 'Cause it's all our fault.
- Then why are
we hiding in here?
- 'Cause it's all our fault.
But we told Ricky
we'd stick together.
- [sighs]
Dicky, what do you think?
- I think the light
just stays on.
On, on, on, can't see it.
On, on, on, on,
can't see it.
On, on, on--
Dicky, focus!
What happened to "All for Quad
and Quad for All"?
Yeah, we probably
shouldn't bail on him.
Fine, so let's go tell
Mom and Dad
whatever punishment Ricky gets,
we deserve, too.
I don't care if Oscar's party
is gonna be magical.
You're grounded
and you're not going.
[Ricky]
What? No way!
On the other hand,
why should we all suffer?
"Stick together," they said!
"Quad for All," they said!
We've both suffered for
our craft, Wondrous Androoni.
All in the name of magic!
Magic's hard.
- Hey, buddy.
Don't "hey, buddy" me.
Hey, pal.
That's the same as buddy.
I can't believe
you bailed on me.
In our defense, it was only
because we didn't want to miss
out on the party.
We were gonna
do the right thing,
but this party is
going to be awesome.
If you were allowed
to go,
you'd totally understand
our position.
So, we're good here?
Oh, we're good.
Go to your awesome party,
backstabbers.
I have plenty of awesome stuff
happening right here.
Like finally organizing my desk.
Ricky, don't be mad--
Go! This could take me
all night.
Done!
Darn it.
The video game bus
is here!
I get to play the same
video games I play at home,
but on a bus!
Check it out!
You can dip anything
in the chocolate fountain.
I dipped a taco.
Ugh, chocolate meat!
Chocolate meat!
Man, look at
all this magic stuff.
Ricky would love this.
I thought we agreed we weren't
gonna talk about Ricky.
Hey, where's Ricky?
He couldn't come.
Oh, that's a crying shame.
That boy loves magic.
Oh, well.
Enjoy the party.
All right, now can we try
to have a good time
and forget about Ricky?
Hey, guys.
Where's Ricky?
[all]
He's not here!
Wow, that's surprising.
That boy loves magic.
If I had to pick one quad out of
all of you that should be here,
it would be him.
Oh, well.
Have a good time.
All right, maybe we should
just stay away from people.
Hey, maybe this will help us
forget about Ricky.
I know what
you are thinking.
[all]
Aah!
All right, the kids are
at the party,
Ricky's upstairs grounded,
and I am done
cleaning the gutters.
Which means,
it's Tom time.
Hmm.
How about we make it
Tom and Anne time?
I'm listening.
I'm no longer listening.
Come on, Tom, we have to
clean this place.
Ricky's magic dust is
everywhere.
It's not that bad.
[sighs]
[coughing]
Don't worry.
It'll settle.
You know what, fine, but let's
at least make this interesting.
If I make this into the fruit
basket, you clean up the mess.
Sweetie, didn't you learn
your lesson from the gutters?
Every time you don't
want to clean,
you challenge me
to some game, I win,
and you end up having to
do it all by yourself.
What's the matter, Anne?
You afraid
your lucky streak is over?
[laughs]
Huh? Huh?
Here we go.
[exhales]
- Hey!
- Boom!
No blocksies!
You never called
"no blocksies."
Oh, you want to play
street rules?
All right, all right,
let's go, Harper.
- First to ten, wins.
- I'll spot you nine.
Hey, I have my pride, Anne.
- Pfft.
- I'll take eight.
Oh, ho ho,
not in my house, Stretch.
You might want to get
some ointment,
'cause you're about
to get burned.
We're actually really
out of ointment,
so next time we're by
the pharmacy...
Got it.
- Hoo!
- Ooh!
[Nicky]
This thing's freaking me out.
It looks
just like Ricky.
It's not Ricky, it's just
a mind-reading robot.
Ooh, maybe it can
read my mind.
Whoa, he's good.
He didn't say anything.
I wasn't thinking
anything.
You have to press the button
first.
Let me try.
Do I feel guilty
for bailing on Ricky?
Your heart knows
the answer.
It does.
And I do!
This is silly.
It's just answering randomly.
Okay, my turn.
Oh, Great Cosmo,
did we do the wrong thing
leaving Ricky at home?
Your path soon
will become clear.
What do you mean?
It's not like we can just sneak
him out and bring him over here.
Look for a sign.
Attention.
In ten minutes,
the magic show will begin
with our very special guest,
The Wondrous Androoni!
[cheers and applause]
Oh, that's Ricky's
favorite magician.
Maybe that's a sign.
No, that's not a sign.
It's a coincidence.
[electricity crackles]
It says "Get Ricky."
Okay,
now that's a sign.
All right, Anne,
playtime's over.
It's time to... play.
[blows whistle]
This ain't no roller derby.
Hey, you called street rules,
Scaredy Shorts.
They should call you
Elevator,
cause you're, bing,
going down!
You wish.
- Okay.
- Here we go.
Oh, wait, wait,
wait, wait.
Should we be doing this
here in the living room?
I mean, what kind of message
does it send to the kids?
Ah, they'll never see us.
Boink!
Hey! No, no!
Just going to the bathroom!
[Dicky]
Together!
No time to talk.
Ricky!
He made himself
disappear.
I'm over here.
Whoa!
Wow, he's really improved.
Ricky, you are seriously missing
out on the best party ever.
And you came all the way
back home just to rub it in?
Classy.
No, we came
to break you out.
You need to come
with us.
No way. I'm already grounded
because of you.
And if I do this
and get caught,
I'll be in even more trouble
because of you.
The Wondrous Androoni's
performing.
I'll get my coat.
Wait. How are we gonna
sneak him out?
Just meet me
at the party.
I'll create the illusion
I'm still here.
Then make myself...
disappear.
You sure
you can pull it off?
Trust me, I've got
a few tricks up my sleeve.
[upbeat music]
Bring it, chump.
Hey, Mom and Dad,
I'm gonna listen to my hour-long
crossword puzzle podcast.
Tonight's
the Crossie Awards.
The competition for the best
down word is intense.
Anyway, no need to check on me
for the next hour.
Hey, what's that
in the kitchen?
Magic is all about...
wonder.
Aah! Aah!
[applause]
Classic Androoni.
Soak it all in,
'cause in ten minutes,
your podcast is over
and we gotta get you back.
For my next trick,
I'm going to need
a volunteer.
You, I guess.
Ricky Harper.
And I am your biggest fan.
By the way, I have a list
of questions for you.
Who wants to see Ricky
and his questions
disappear?
[cheers and applause]
Get ready
to be filled with wonder!
One...
Two...
Three!
[cheers and applause]
I wonder where he is.
Could he be in here?
I wonder
why he's not in there?
The Wondrous Androoni
will be back
after a short Wonder-mission.
[applause]
He's good.
A little too good.
Excuse me,
Mr. Androoni--
Mr. Androoni was my father.
Call me Wondrous.
Yeah, look, Wondrous,
we need our brother back.
I wonder where he is.
You lost our brother!
The Wondrous Androoni
has never lost anyone...
until now.
Magic's hard.
Guys, we have five minutes to
get Ricky back to the house.
But he's in
the magic netherworld.
He's gotta be around here
somewhere.
You two stay here
and look for him.
I'm gonna go home
and stall Mom and Dad.
How are you
gonna do that?
The answer is right
in front of you.
I think I know someone
who can help.
Who?
- Okay.
- All tied up.
- Okay.
Next basket wins.
Got it.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Ooh. Hoo.
Okay.
- Ho!
- No, no! Oh!
Oh!
My vase!
First of all,
it's vahhz.
Oh!
And secondly...
Boom!
Tomahawk!
Yeah!
I can't believe you broke
my vase just so you could win!
Hey, guys!
Hey.
You're back again?
Crazy line for the bathroom.
Gotta go!
You know, she does have
your tiny bladder.
Come on, Cosmo.
I can't believe
you cheated.
I did not.
I broke your vahhz by accident.
I can tell you're lying
by that smirk on your...fahhz.
- Accident.
- Purpose!
La la la la la!
[footsteps approaching]
Uh-oh.
Hey, sweetie, you awake?
Oh, good.
How was your podcast?
Did all your favorite words win?
Honey?
I know you're still mad
about the party,
but you need to talk to me.
I know what
you're thinking.
Wait, really?
Is it that obvious?
Your mind is
an open book.
Oh, huh.
I guess it is.
You know, I just wanted him
to help clean.
And then we got into
this crazy game,
and I mean,
I was dominating him,
but still, I said he cheated,
and maybe he didn't.
And now I don't know
what to do.
Your heart knows
the answer.
You know what,
you're right.
I'm sure he didn't do it
on purpose.
Thank you, sweetie.
I'm so glad
we had this conversation.
[Cosmo]
Your future is bright.
I love that positive attitude.
[whispers]
That's why you're my favorite.
[magician's music]
Ricky's gotta be in here
somewhere.
Ricky!
Maybe he's in this box.

Ugh.
I'll look out here.

[knock on door]
[Tom] Rickster?
It's Dad.
Hey, you still mad about
missing the party?
- I know what
you are thinking.
Really?
- Your mind is an
[slowing down]
open...
book.
Whoa,
what's going on there?
Sounds like you're
winding down.
Well, it's been a rough day
for everybody.
Especially your mom.
I beat her fair and square
and she's taking it
pretty hard.
- Answer...
heart...knows.
Wait, something's
wrong here.
You're not Ricky.
You're super-sleepy Ricky.
But you're right.
Answer heart does know.
You are one smart kid.
I'm gonna apologize
to your mother.
Thank you, Ricky.
[whispers] That's why you're
my favorite.
And now for my grand finale!
Oscar, you remember I made
your little friend disappear.
Well, let's see
if I can bring him back!
[grunting]
Voila!
Apparently not.
And the Wondrous Androoni
will leave you wondering.
Good night, everyone!
I wonder how he keeps
getting work.
Tom.
Anne.
I'm sorry.
I know you didn't break
my vase on purpose.
Actually, I may have broken
the vase on purpose a little.
I'm sorry.
I just hate
always losing to you.
Yeah, I guess
I don't make it easy.
Well, it doesn't help
when you call me
Little Tommy Loserpants.
Even?
[sighs]
Even.
Hmm.
Okay.
- I'll get the brooms.
- Okay.
Don't even.
Man that punch goes
right through ya!
I gotta stick with
my bathroom buddy.
Wait,
something's not right.
Ricky is
Nicky's bathroom buddy.
We can't find Ricky!
He's in the magic
netherworld!
What?
[Tom]
Kids?
Well, at least
we still have Cosmo.
[Cosmo crashes]
[all]
Ooh!
[Tom]
Is everything okay?
We have to make it look
like Ricky's sleeping.
[Anne]
Kids?
What's going on up here?
Shh, Ricky's sleeping.
Yeah. And he asked us
not to disturb him.
No, he didn't,
because he's sleeping.
What are you kids up to?
No, it's okay.
You don't have to come in here.
See?
Ricky's sleeping.
[all]
Aah!
There he is!
Exactly where
we thought he'd be.
What's going on?
Oh, I'm so sorry, kids.
- We'll let you
get back to sleep, buddy.
- Yeah.
- Dude, how'd you get
back in here?
A good magician
never reveals his secrets.
Dad left the ladder out
when he was cleaning
the gutters, didn't he?
Yeah, pretty much.
Thanks for making me go to that
party and covering for me.
Hey,
it's the Quad Code.
All for Quad...
[all]
And Quad for All!
All right, I'll take Cosmo back
to the party and we will be--
Hey!
So, Ricky.
Josie came by
to give you this.
Apparently you left it in
the vanishing cabinet
at Oscar's party.
I can't believe
you snuck out.
Now you're really grounded.
What do you have to say
for yourself?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have snuck out
to that party.
No, it was our fault.
Yeah, we convinced him
to sneak out.
Why would you do that?
Because we also convinced him
to throw the smoke pellets.
And then let him
get in trouble for it.
So if you're gonna
punish Ricky,
you have to punish
all of us.
[both]
Yeah.
All right.
But before you do,
I have one question
for you.
Which one of us
is your favorite?
That's silly.
We don't have favorites.
I was under Ricky's bed
the whole time.
- Parent huddle.
- Yep.
[clears throat]
[whispering]
- You're all free to go.
- Yep.
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
- Whoo!
- All right!
