And what do you call a dinosaur that's sleeping?

A sleeping dinosaur?

A dino -snore.

Oh, perfect timing. All right, everybody's dressed and fed and ready

butt.

My stomach's full, but my heart's empty.

Because I got to wear this clown suit.

Dylan, are you going to complain about your school uniform every day?

I don't complain about it on the weekends.

Thank God for weekends.

I'll get it.

Speaking of weekend, what are you and Bethany going to do since you can't go

the dancers' weekend?

I don't know.

She's coming over early so we can discuss that.

Unless... you guys have changed your minds and you're going to let me go?

Nope. No minds were changed in the making of this motion picture.

You know the rule.

Good behavior gets rewarded.

Bad behavior gets thwarted.

Hey, that rhymes.

I'm going to see if Dylan wants to use any one of his raps.

Thwarted? It did rhyme.

Maybe Dylan's rubbing off on me.

I've never seen Dylan this quiet before.

Hey, Bethany.

Hey, Rebecca.

I just met your cousin.

I hope he grows out of that staring thing.

It's kind of creepy.

Don't mind him. Come on.

You can help me pick out what shoes I'm going to wear.

All right. Bye, Dylan.

Oh, hi.

My name's Dylan.

What's yours?

Dylan, are you okay?

I do not know what just happened.

How do I do this?

Dylan!

He's fine, Charlie. He's just got a crush.

Um, Bethany?

Ew!

Son, love is a pivotal creature.

And if all we gotta do to get Dylan to shut up is invite Bethany over, we need

to let her move in.

I'm good, Mom.

I saw a song, Angel, and I lost all my words.

Are we talking about Bethany?

Wait, she's real?

Yeah, real, I know.

So that fine honey at the door, was it just my mind playing tricks on me?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

This honey?

Oh, that's wifey.

That's Bethany, Rebecca's friend.

And soon to be my woman.

You're eight.

What can I say?

Love is a fickle creature.

So now you want to listen.

Yeah, enough of the love talk. Go get ready for school. Let's go.

Love is a fickle creature.

Do you think we punished Rebecca too harshly over the whole makeup thing?

Uh, no, honey. I mean, you know, she broke the rules, disobeyed it. But I

the punishment was fair.

Really? You saw her face with all that makeup on, right?

She looked like a clown.

Wasn't that punishment enough?

What are you getting at?

I think we should let her go to the dance.

Well, honey, what's the point in having all these rules if there are no

consequences to breaking them?

I get what you're saying.

But what you don't get is that this is her first big dance.

And?

And a lot is riding on it.

Her not going to this could change her social status. We don't want to mess

that.

Speak for yourself.

I would love to have a kid that's not so popular.

Yeah, because it would save me a lot of money.

That means she wouldn't want to go anywhere.

Ever.

Miles, be serious.

All she did was sneak to school with the makeup on. Mm -hmm.

Other than that, Rebecca's a good kid.

We are talking about Rebecca.

She's all right.

She all right.

But I did catch her one time taking all the marshmallows out of my cereal.

What? Who wants cereal? with no marshmallows. She knew what she was

She left one.

One marshmallow.

Okay, aside from that, she's kind of been perfect.

And if you couldn't go to the dance just for wearing that mess you were wearing

in the 80s, we might not even be married.

Uh, first of all, I was smooth, baby.

Smooth.

S -M - O -O -V -E.

Smooth.

I would hate for her to miss her first big dance if her stupid mistake.

Okay. I guess what she did wasn't that bad.

That's all I'm saying.

Okay, but what about good behavior being rewarded and bad behavior being

thwarted?

I mean, we'd be breaking our own rules.

Well, if anybody's allowed to break them...

It should be us.

That's who we are now?

So we a bunch of rule breakers, huh?

We can just do what we want to do. We just breaking all the rules today, huh?

That's who we become?

Let's break the rules then. Let's go on and break the rules, huh?

Let's do it. Okay, you overreacted.

It's just one time.

We're just letting something slide.

Not becoming full -on rule breakers.

I guess she can go to the dance.

I'll tell her after school. She's going to be so excited. Wait, wait, wait. I'll

tell her.

I see what you're doing, huh?

What are you trying to do, get extra points?

So that when we get old and can't take care of ourselves, she'll take you into

her big old beautiful house and throw me in some old, decrepit, assisted living

home.

It's never too early to start planting seeds.

In fact, I'll take her to buy a dress for the dance after school.

Wait, no, no, honey, no, no. See, that's what I meant. I don't want a popular

kid. It's pretty money already.

Hi, see you later.

How's my way?

Uh, a little heads up next time.

Please.

It's a present we fresh.

Blossom isn't just a lifestyle.

Talk to me. Go get my one.

What up, girl?

Hi, Dylan.

I'm glad you finally found your voice.

Oh, I found it all right.

And it kept saying, I need to make you my girl.

That's cute.

Cute?

I'm not trying to be cute.

Unless that's working for you.

What I'm trying to tell you is, I can make you happy.

How? By letting me wait at Pokemon?

Girl, you so fine.

I'll let you wait.

Okay, Dylan.

I'm flattered, but no thank you.

And I'm doing pretty well at Pokemon all by myself.

Pikachu.

Wait, wait, wait.

Before you shoot me hard enough, listen to this rhyme I wrote for you.

I know it changed your mind.

When I first saw you, you caught my eye. My heart started beating, and I thought

I just would die.

But the voice of an angel, it brought me back, and I knew I had to have you. And

that's a fact, so my mind started thinking, I want you young for drinking.

But the pretty brown eyes were looking at me blinking, so all I could do was

just come up with a plan.

Because I knew that one day, that I'm going to be a man.

That was really good, Dylan. But no matter how well you rap, you're 8 and

12. That's a high school degree difference.

I'm sorry, but you're always going to be a little kid to me.

Wow, Dylan.

That was awesome.

Well, the pup before Beckney blew you off.

That's okay.

I know what love is meant to be.

I just need to figure out a way to let her know.

You say so, but I think that church pat on the head she gave you was a hard

pass.

Guess what just happened?

What? Kelly and Anna got dates for the dance.

Melly Kelly and Anna Banana who only wears yellow?

Yes. Now we're the only ones in our class not yellow.

us socially.

What if we get your mom to change her mind and see if that'll make my parents

bend? I already tried.

And when I brought it up, she started talking about everything I've ever did

wrong.

She's probably still talking.

Well, what are we gonna do now? We're obviously not going to the dance at this

point.

Guess we're just gonna have to tell the guys.

We're going to sound so lame.

I must have come up with a good enough excuse as to why we cannot go.

Like what?

Like your grandmother died?

But my grandma isn't dead.

They don't know that.

Yeah, until she shows up at school or at the house or hits on the gym teacher

again and they realize she's still alive.

So we're just going to tell Zuri and Caleb that we can't go to the dance

we're grounded.

For wearing makeup, we'll be the laughingstocks of the show.

It doesn't involve a dead loved one. Well, we have to think of something

And quick.

Stop rushing me. I have time.

Wouldn't be so sure about that.

Hey, Rebecca.

Sorry. Hi.

Check it. I'm about to show Bethany how mature I am.

By wearing a jacket and tie you stole from the teacher's lounge?

My man, you're skimming over the mo - Most important thing.

My new stairs.

Look, I'm on your side now.

But I don't think Bethany is going to think you grew a mustache between third

and seventh period.

You don't know anything about women. So look at me in a whole new light.

Well, I hope that light's dim.

Because your mustache is running.

Nice growing on your face. Fingers.

Just give me the goods.

You stay here.

I'm going in.

I'm really looking forward to the dance this weekend.

I was too, but I'm not going to be able to go.

Why not?

Because her grandmother died.

I was going to tell you, but it happens so suddenly, out of the blue, unplanned.

I'm not Viola?

That can't be true.

Where are you going?

Oh, man, I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, it's sad, so we're not going to be able to go to the dance.

I understand.

So, if you want to go with someone else... No, no, I don't.

You don't?

No, I want to be there for you.

Aww, so sweet.

When's the funeral?

Um, the night of the dance.

Okay, where?

At that church. That one, big one on that big

corner. Okay, I'll be there. In fact, I tell the whole team that we all should

be there to support you. No! I mean, um...

You don't have to do that. I know, but I want to.

I gotta get to practice, but if you need anything, let me know.

I need a way to get out of this lie.

Look on the bright side.

At least you don't have to go to the actual dance anymore.

Hey, my love.

Hi.

interesting. Dylan busted her out for Betsy and she wasn't feeling it.

Nice work on the slate, Chuck.

But you don't have to put my business out there in the street.

All right, guys. You guys go upstairs.

Wash your hands. Put your stuff away.

Rebecca, come here.

Ooh, what did you do now?

Charlie, hands.

Rebecca, your dad and I've been talking, and we've changed our mind about you

going to the dance.

You mean we can go?

Um, we're not your parents, so we can't speak for them, but Rebecca can go.

OMG! Thank you, Mommy!

Thank you! Thank you!

Bethany, you heard Mr. Wilson, right?

We don't know if your mom's going to change her mind.

She will.

It's sad, because... She's kind of a follower.

They worked out in my favor.

Okay.

Well, we took in consideration that you're a pretty good kid.

True. And I've learned on really good behavior since the whole makeup

You have?

Yeah. It's not like you're constantly running around disobeying us or telling

bunch of lies.

So we decided to break our own rules this one time.

Thank you so much, Mom.

And Dad.

And Dad.

Yeah, and Dad. Hello, I played a part in this decision, too.

And Dad.

And Dad.

Okay, and me and Bethany have lots of homework to get to, so...

Oh,

such a good kid.

She I.

really shouldn't have told Zuri that your grandmother died.

I didn't tell Zuri my grandmother died. You told Zuri my grandmother died.

Sorry. I panicked. It just fell out of my mouth.

Well, you need to panic now, so something to get us out of this mess

right out of your mouth.

I got nothing.

Well, what if we say he heard us wrong, like my grandmother lied instead of

died?

Have we done enough lying?

Bethany!

I'm sorry. Yes, it'll work.

Except for we kind of told him when and where the funeral would be.

Stop messing up my plan with logic!

Sorry! Yes, it'll work.

No, it won't. Let's just go.

Zero will be so happy that nobody died and you can go to the dance.

He won't ask any questions.

You really think so?

Not really, but we don't have any other options at this point.

I'll get it.

Thanks.

Oh.

Put them over here.

Yes,

I am.

Is it your anniversary already?

Um... No, it's not.

Is it your birthday, Mrs. Wilson?

Is it my birthday, Miles?

You didn't get these for me, did you? I might.

No.

Sorry, Aunt Yasmin, but Uncle Miles didn't send them to you.

They're for Bethany.

Really?

Yep.

Nothing's too great for my love.

Why would you waste your money? I told you I was not interested.

I heard you.

But the way your eyes lit up when you heard those flowers work for you tells

different.

I like flowers.

I don't like kids.

Now stop talking to me.

Okay, but when I sign that record label, you're going to be wishing you had my

digits.

You don't have digits.

You're eight.

And I'm sure I'll be fine without them.

I'm glad I ain't sending these flowers to you.

If they're not from Dad or Dylan, who are they from?

Yo, my man, you better watch your woman. She probably getting flowers from

another dude.

That woman is your aunt.

And she's not getting flowers from another dude.

Okay.

Well, if they're not from Mom, they must.

be for me.

You must be joking.

Just give me the flowers. Let's look at the card.

They're from Surrey.

They are for me?

My condolences about your grandmother passing.

I hope these flowers bring you some peace.

Grandma passed by where?

Yo, you got something to say about this, Becca?

Oh, my goodness.

Wait a minute. What? Let me see this.

My mom is dead?

Oh, passing as in dead?

No.

How?

This can't be true.

Something's not right about this.

Yo, this about to be an issue, cuz.
