Hey, mom.
Hey, honey.
Come meet our new neighbor.
This is my daughter Teddy.
Debbie dooley.
How're you doing?
I'm doing dandy, Debbie dooley.
Debbie and her husband Doug
just moved here from Iowa.
Doug's our new deputy police chief.
And they have a daughter Charlie's age.
- Deedee dooley.
- Oh.
Debbie needed a babysitter for tomorrow.
And I was just telling her
how terrific you are.
Oh yeah.
No, actually
my friend Ivy and I.
Were gonna take Charlie
to make-a-monkey tomorrow.
And we'd be happy to bring deedee along.
What's make-a-monkey?
Oh, it's kind of complicated.
It's this place where you
You make A monkey.
I
I guess it's not that complicated.
Oh, I meant to ask
Where is your dog?
We don't have a dog.
But that nice Mrs.
Dabney
next door told me.
To beware of Gabe.
Gabe is my son.
But she said he bit her
And went to the bathroom on her lawn.
They have a very unique relationship.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
Oh, I think this one goes
No.
Oh, doesn't this one go?
No.
Eh, forget it.
Charlie can help us with it later.
Oh, my dad's outside.
I gotta go.
- He doesn't like to be kept waiting.
- All right.
- See ya.
- See ya.
No wonder we couldn't do it.
It's for ages one to three.
You P.
J.
?
Uh, y-yeah yeah.
That's me.
So you start going out with a girl.
And you don't think it's
important to meet the father?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Makes me wonder what's
going on inside your head.
Trust me, sir,
There's nothing going on in here at all.
I'm gonna be watching you.
To make sure you treat Skyler right,
That you're worthy of her.
One more thing:
I don't want her to know
I've been checking up on you.
Well, what does she think
you're doing right now?
Using the bathroom.
Is there anything else?
Usually it takes me a while
to use the bathroom.
- Hey, dad.
- Hey.
Oh, dad, I think you dropped something.
Oh, hey, one of my scratchers.
Oh, hey, let's see.
Maybe we've won.
Seven.
Another seven.
Been here before.
And the last number.
What?
Look, it's a seven.
It's a seven.
- I won.
I won.
- How much did you win?
$1 million!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo! Whoo!
I won, I won, I won!
What is going on with dad?
He thinks he won the lottery.
- Thinks?
- Yeah, it's a prank.
I bought one of those fake
scratchers from the joke store.
He fell for that?
Whoo-hoo!
I'm king of the world!
He's gonna find out.
Yeah, and I'll be grounded for two weeks.
But, you know, I'll have been
to super adventure land.
It's worth it.
I crunched the numbers.
I'm so happy, I don't know
what to do with myself.
Well, yesterday you said
if you ever win the lottery.
You'd take me to super adventure land.
All right, let's go.
Get in the car.
Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
We're millionaires.
Forget the car.
We're renting a limo.
Wait, dad.
Okay.
Oh, thank you,
Dr.
Charlie.
I'm all better now.
Ow.
Another shot.
No, I've already had seven shots.
There's no more owies.
Ow.
Another shot.
Okay, I think I'm kind of over this.
Ivy, are you ready to go?
Check out what I found in the bathroom
Diamond earrings.
Watch me work it.
Ivy, hey, take those off.
Don't you know that deedee's
daddy's deputy Doug dooley?
Ivy wentz rocking earrings.
From the dooley collection.
Seriously, take those off.
Yeah, they'll look better on you anyway.
No, we're here to babysit, not try on
- Ooh.
- Yeah.
Oh, these do look good.
Yep, strut your stuff, girl.
- It's fun.
Go ahead, do it.
- Okay.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh.
Ow!
Hey, who did that?
- Ooh.
Uh-oh.
- What?
One of the doctors spilled a juice box.
At least I hope it's juice.
All right, Ivy, why don't
you take them outside?
I'm gonna clean this up.
And then we can go to make-a-monkey.
Okay, come on.
Come on, deedee.
Let's go bye-bye.
Go with Ivy.
- Let's go to make-a-monkey.
- Yay!
Eww, and it's not juice.
- Where are you going?
- Whoa!
What are you doing here?
I told you I was gonna be watching you.
Did you think I was a liar?
No, I just I thought you'd be
watching me from a distance
You know, with, like, a telescope
or binoculars or something.
I did that for a while.
I got bored.
Now I asked you a question.
Where are you going?
Uh, I'm going to the
library to meet Skyler.
Looking like that?
You couldn't even comb your hair?
I spent 20 minutes to get it like this.
What are you doing?
Anytime you do something I do not like,
I mark it down in the negative column.
Is there a positive column too?
Not yet.
Okay.
Well, if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna go back inside and comb my hair,
But not because of anything you said
Because I want to.
Stupid.
"bad with doors.
"
That was four hours of my
life I'll never get back.
I still have that theme
song drilled into my head.
first you pick a color
brown or green or red ♪
then you take some stuffing
and put it in its head ♪
then it goes on for 20 more
verses and you wish you were dead ♪
and that's how you make
a mo-oh-oh-oh-nkey.
♪
- Oh no.
- What?
The earrings
you're still wearing them.
- What?
- Yes.
Oh! Ivy, Ivy, I just
have one earring on.
- The other one must
have fallen off.
- No.
Yes yes, I lost her diamond earring.
What? Why did you
even try them on?
- What? That was your idea!
- You know better than to listen to me.
Okay okay okay okay.
All right, let's not panic.
I'll just okay,
I'll check the car.
You you call make-a-monkey
and see if they found it.
The important thing here is
Is not to panic.
- Not in the car.
- Not at the place.
Okay, time to panic.
Oh!
Calm down.
Ivy's got a plan.
Oh, Ivy's got a plan.
- Look, I think I know where
the earring is.
- Where?
Check it out.
I took some pictures at make-a-monkey.
Here you are at the stuffing
machine two earrings.
Oh oh, here I am after the
stuffing machine one earring.
Yes, so the missing earring is
Inside a monkey.
Hi, Charlie.
What you got there?
Monkey.
Can I see it?
- Get that monkey.
- Mm-hmm.
Man, that sister of yours.
Can put up quite a fight.
I know.
We'd be better off
if we fought an actual monkey.
She sure does love that thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, she sure does.
Now let's rip it apart.
It's not in here.
Oh, this is bad.
This is really bad.
T, calm down.
If the earring isn't in this monkey,
It has to be in the other monkey.
Right right right right, deedee's monkey
That's in the police chief's house.
Is that calm enough for you?
Man, super adventure land was amazing.
It sure is.
Hey hey, give me the
picture of the log ride again.
- Ah, look at your face.
- Look at your face.
Look at the limo driver's face.
Okay, dad, now that we've had our fun,
There's something I gotta tell you.
And maybe you should sit down.
Hey, kids, how do you like mama's new ride?
Hey, look at you.
Where did you get that?
At the mall.
Yeah, I did a little shopping.
After your dad told me we won the lottery.
You can return that, right?
Nope, forever rich
has a no-return policy.
But who cares?
Not me.
Nothing bothers
a millionaire.
Nothing bothers a millionaire.
- Whoo-hoo!
- Whoo!
You guys didn't really win the lottery.
It was just a prank so I could
go to super adventure land.
That's really funny.
So why aren't you laughing?
I'm really sorry.
I never meant for it to go this far.
Now I know you're probably gonna
ground me for, like, two weeks,
But under the circumstances,
I'm fine with three.
I quit my job today.
What?
You can get it back, right?
Uh
What? What? We won?
I can't believe it.
I'll tell you what I can't
believe, Duncan
It's that you're taking
another personal call.
Now I asked you to do something.
With these bags of saline
a half an hour ago.
Uh, gotta go.
You know what, Karen?
You're absolutely right.
I should have done something
with these saline bags.
A long time ago.
I mean, this is really overdue.
- Oh! Oh!
- Yeah yeah.
Yeah yeah.
Hi.
Take me to easy street.
So long, suckers.
How could you do that?
Because I was a millionaire.
Rich people play by different rules.
I'm so sorry.
Dad, are you okay?
He's hugging the kettle corn.
This is all I have left.
Oh, the old orange peel
smile always cracks me up.
I tried it once with a
pineapple not as fun.
I gotta go rinse.
I can't stand the feel of pulp on my teeth.
I love learning new things about you.
- Is everything okay?
- Everything's great.
- Really?
- Really, yeah.
Everything
couldn't be better.
You're acting kind of weird.
I'm not acting weird, no.
If anything, I'm acting not weird.
- Why does this always happen?
- What?
I date a guy for a while.
And then all of a sudden he
starts acting all strange.
Then what happens?
Then he just kind of disappears.
Hey, mom, what are you doing?
Hey.
A couple things.
Trying to find a new job.
And researching military schools for Gabe.
Wow, that sounds stressful.
Hey, you know, you should go to the gym,
Maybe maybe with
a workout buddy,
Somebody like Debbie dooley.
She's fun.
Teddy, I know what you're trying to do.
Mm-hmm, you want back
into Debbie dooley's house,
And I know why.
- You do?
- Yep.
You want another babysitting gig.
Am I that transparent?
Charlie, what happened to your monkey?
I don't know.
$62 for this?
The head's not even facing the right way.
That's the way she wanted it.
Excuse me, are you Karen?
Yeah.
Why?
I'm Gabe, Amy Duncan's son.
Look, the reason my mom quit
was all my fault.
I played a really mean prank on my parents.
And it got way out of hand.
Now that you know the truth, can
you please give her her job back?
Oh, well,
If it means that much to you,
No!
Ha! I gotcha!
Oh, you should see your face.
I really had you going there, didn't I?
Oh good.
Good for you, Karen.
Okay.
Excuse me,
Do you know whose lottery ticket this is?
Yes.
It's mine.
I won! I won!
I won, I won, I won, I won!
Hey hey hey!
I've always loved you.
Hi.
May I?
Oh.
How much longer are you
gonna follow me around?
Till I find out the kind of guy you are.
Now I'm a guy who's about
to restock the cups.
"bad with cups.
"
Look, I only messed up
'cause you made me nervous.
Thanks.
- Got all I need.
- For what?
To tell Skyler you're not the guy.
See ya.
No no.
Stop.
I am the guy.
Skyler is the best thing
that's ever happened to me.
And I'm not going away, no matter what.
So put that in your little notebook.
Oh, and number 12, your order's ready.
Number 12.
Uh-oh.
Is this the part
where you make me disappear?
Relax, kid.
You stuck up for yourself.
That's what I wanted to hear.
So it's okay if I date your daughter?
Oh, she's not my daughter.
She's his daughter.
He always hires me
to check out the boyfriends.
With that elfin smile, people
don't take him too seriously.
Deedee was so excited that Teddy was back.
That daughter of yours is quite something.
Yeah, I make some good daughters.
Bob makes the boys.
Yesterday it was just so good.
To watch deedee have fun with Teddy.
- What do you mean, watch?
- Oh, well,
My husband insisted
we put in a nanny-cam.
Oh, a nanny-cam?
I've never seen one of those.
If you have a laptop,
I'll show you right now.
I do, right behind you.
Let's look.
Oh good.
Oh, there they are.
Your daughter has a real gift.
It takes me forever to put deedee down.
Well, that's a little peculiar.
This doesn't seem right.
Oh my goodness, she's murdering the monkey.
- Oh.
- Oh.
Really?
One neighbor I just want to
be friends with one neighbor.
Hey, Charlie.
So I learned a very important
life lesson today,
And that is never wear.
A pair of accidentally
make-a-monkey, s to.
Because if you do,
something likeHt say
"oh my goodness,
That girl's just not
right in the head.
"
Hi, Charlie.
Oh, and mom's back at work.
Actually her boss quit
for some unknown reason,
And so she got a promotion.
Which is why daddy gets one of these too.
You're going! Ere
Ahh!
Oh.
Yeah, in a couple of years,
When all of us kids have left the house,
They'll be all yours.
Good luck, Charlie.
Hey, what happened to you?
Isn't it obvious?
My head's on backwards.
Yeah, I didn't want to say anything.
Doctor, the patients are prepped
and ready for surgery.
She look a little young to you?
I'm sure she's highly trained.
You can go first.
