* L ike these crutches trying to keep up with my steps *

* You can run and still get dusted and be a crushin' *

The bell's about to ring! We need to get to class!

Man, relax, Chuckles. We got, like, a whole minute.

That's plenty of time.

Suit yourself.

You gotta look right to be right.

Whoa! Yo, Principal Matthews,

you shouldn't walk up on people. It's rude.

Really? And don't you think it's rude

that you're late for class?

What? I'm late?

What? No. I still have time.

The bell rang and you're late.

Dylan, we've talked about your tardiness.

What am I going to do with you?

Hmm. Well, let's just do

what we usually do.

I say I'm sorry then I go back to class.

Sorry.

I think I have a better idea.

No.

[indistinct humming]

And then you gotta take it down.

Man, Principal Matthews made me a hall monitor!

[laughter]

* Ma knew I wasn't just a regular guy *

* Everybody, follow me I'ma take you on a trip *

* Buckle up, let's go I'ma get you all a hit *

* I Tell 'em you gonna love Young Dylan *

[laughs]

If it isn't hall monitor Dylan reporting for duty.

I love a man in uniform.

-This isn't fun. -Hmm, I don't know.

It's kinda funny.

Do you realize what this will do to my rep?

Me enforcing rules? Rules aren't for super stars.

We break them and that's what makes us trendsetters.

Right. Okay. Well, how about you join

us peasants for breakfast?

Charlie put a new twist on a breakfast burrito.

I made it with chicken adobo.

And I think it's adobo-ble that you made us breakfast.

Get it? Adobo-ble.

Oh, we got it. Just don't want it.

Man, they want me to work late this week.

I have to work late all week, too, remember?

Okay, yeah, and mom is under the weather right now.

So, think we should call a sitter?

Yes, you're right.

By the time we get back from work we won't have time

to cook dinner or do things we have to do around here.

[Myles] Okay.

Oh, uh, Mom, Dad, don't call the babysitter.

Let us do it.

Charlie and I are old enough to handle the responsibility.

Yeah, I can cook dinner, we can all help

with the other chores and stuff.

-I don't know. -Yeah, this is a lot

of responsibility.

Please, give us one chance. We mess up or you're not happy,

then you can call the babysitter.

You have to call or text us every hour on the hour

to let us know that everything's okay.

Mm-hmm. And if there are any issues,

big or small, this little experiment is over.

-Understood? -Yes, got it, Dad.

-Thank you so much. -Thanks, Dad.

Uh, I do have concerns about the lack of adult supervision.

Man, this dumb uniform is changing me already.

[music]

Okay, Dylan, here is your

official hall monitor rules manual.

In here you will find tardy slips and tickets

for any rule violations. [chuckles]

Principal Matthews, I can't do this.

Trust me, this will be good for you.

I'm hoping it will give you an appreciation

for following the rules.

But I don't wanna get people in trouble.

Ah, see, this is your first lesson.

You don't get people in trouble. They get themselves in trouble.

You're just there to tell on them.

I mean report it back to me.

[groans]

Wait. You're the new hall monitor?

What alternate universe did I walk into?

Have we solved global warming? Achieved world peace?

Can we fly to the moon on bicycles?

I wish. I'd fly up there right now

So I didn't have to be a hall monitor.

But being a hall monitor is the coolest thing anyone can

do for their school.

You're the thin yellow line that keeps these hallways

-safe from chaos. -Then why don't you do it?

I wish. But there's a wait list.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Kids actually wanna be a hall monitor?

-Mm-hmm. -Well, I don't.

I'm only doing it so Principal Matthews

won't give a brother 30 hours of detention.

30 hours? That's cruel and unusual.

Well, I for one believe you'll be a great hall monitor.

Anything I can do to help, just ask.

Thanks, Booder.

There is actually something you can do for me.

-You can take this. -What's this?

A tardy slip. Class started a minute ago.

Sorry.

If I made chicken pot pies for dinner

maybe a nice radish salad with butter lettuce would go well.

-What up, Chuckles? -Oh, hey.

I was just trying to figure out what to make for dinner.

Remember Mom and Dad are working late

and Rebecca and I are showing them we don't need

a babysitter anymore.

Well, you'll have plenty of time

to think about that in detention.

What? No I'm not. The bell hasn't...

Dylan, please. I can't get detention.

I need to get home right away to start cooking dinner

and help Rebecca.

Sorry, Chuckles. I don't wanna do this either.

With each ticket, a bit of my rep goes away.

Pow.

What if I add cleaning your studio to my chores?

Wait. So you're saying if I don't write you up,

which neither of us wants to happen,

you'll clean my studio for a month?

I didn't say a month! I mean, a month sounds fair.

Okay.

But keep this between us.

I don't want this getting back to Principal Matthews.

I'm supposed to be learning a lesson or something.

[music]

All right, that's everything.

Laundry, vacuuming, cooking dinner, and setting the table.

Oh, why did we ask for this? I've never been this tired.

We should have let Mom and Dad hire Gina the babysitter.

I know. If Gina was here all we'd have

to do was do our homework

and then we could just play with her.

She's like my big sister.

Well, thanks to us, we have to worry about this all week!

Why can't we just make it stop? -No.

If we complain, Mom and Dad will think we're not ready

for more responsibility.

And then they'll just keep treating us like little kids.

-They're home! -Quick! Act happy!

We cannot let them know that we're miserable!

[forced laughter]

Oh, the house is immaculate.

Yeah, and dinner...dinner smells amazing.

You guys did all this? Really?

All right, well, what about the homework?

Great job, you two.

I guess working late this week wont be the hassle we expected.

-Uh. -Wow.

Wow, okay, looks like somebody's had a change of heart.

How was your first day as hall monitor?

It was good, Mama Yaz.

I just had to find the right angle

to see how rewarding it could be.

Why are you winking at Charlie?

Uncle Myles, winking is the new thing.

All the kids are doing it.

It means, hey, I see you and I respect you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew that. I knew that, see,

'cause I'm cool, too. You know what I mean?

[music]

Looks like your rep as hall monitor precedes you.

About time people around here put some respect on my name.

Really, Christian? Littering?

-Mm, mm, mm. -Come on, man.

It was just an accident.

How 'bout you give me that Charlie deal?

Excuse me?

You let this slide, I'll clean your locker for an entire month.

How do you know about the Charlie deal?

Charlie. Fine!

Cleaning my locker for a month does sound good.

It's a mess in there.

This is bad, Dylan.

Principal Matthews made you hall monitor

so you can learn something.

I did. How to game the system.

Look, I only did this to avoid 30 hours of detention.

So I turn a blind eye to one or two students to benefit from it?

It's a victimless crime.

The victim is the school hallway.

All done for the day.

Wow. Great job, Christian!

But just remember, keep this on the low.

I don't wanna find out you been spilling the beans.

One hall pass coming up.

What have my eyes just witnessed?

Did--did you just trade sneakers for a hall pass?

No! These are my babies.

But I may have detailed them for a hall pass.

And look, they even got the new sneaker smell!

[gasps] Be cool. Principal Matthews is coming.

Hello, gentlemen.

Dylan, it seems you've been taking

your hall monitor duties seriously.

Well, Principal Matthews, you were right.

Rules are definitely there for a reason.

And who am I to let anyone break them?

That's great to hear.

And maybe a time to bring this experiment to an end.

No!

I mean, um, nah, Principal Matthews.

Nah, um, I think I haven't gotten all I can get

from it, you know?

I think I can rule as being a hall monitor for awhile.

Maybe forever.

Forever ever?

Forever ever.

Carry on, then.

For shame, for shame.

This is going to be a problem for you.

Mark my words.

[music]

Charlie, did you have to use so many pots and pans

to make dinner?

You basically gave us more stuff to clean.

I'm already tired.

I'm tired too.

And I didn't hear you complaining when you were

eating up the Ragu.

Besides, I don't see why I have to do these all by myself,

which was wack.

Mm, mm, mm, mm.

Charles! Charles!

This hot chocolate, my boy, is... is divine.

Simply divine.

Baby, this week has been nothing short of amazing.

I mean, the whole house is so clean.

You know, gourmet meals, and somebody actually

whacked all the weeds.

We've got so much work done, we don't have to work late anymore.

-Man. -I'm sorry.

This is gonna have to end after tonight.

Does it, though?

I mean, would it be so bad to let it continue

-for a few more days? -Hm-mm.

-Yeah, they seem happy. -Mm-hmm.

They're getting all the responsibility

-that they asked for. -Yes, they are.

Shouldn't you all be going to class?

Why? You're gonna give us hall passes

like you always do. Unless you want us

to let Principal Matthews know what you've been up to.

I can't get all of y'all hall passes!

I'll get a hand cramp

Then I guess this will happen.

Oh, naw.

[Principal] What do you mean I'm not doing it right, Janice?

I been winking since I was a baby, ask my mama.

So yeah, I think I'm doing it right.

Dylan, what are these students doing here in the hall

when they should be in class?

Um, yeah, um, you see, uh,

Lisa and her friends were interested

in being hall monitors.

So I had them shadow me to see what it's like.

But they're going back to class now.

Really?

You all want to be hall monitors?

No.

Um, no, she means no, they don't want to be

but they need to be hall monitors

-Principal Matthews. -[laughs] I love the spirit.

Keep up the good work, Dylan.

Sure, I got you.

Uh, and let's do something about all this trash.

Oh, I got that covered. I got that.

I got you. What are y'all doing?

You almost got me in trouble!

We didn't almost get you in trouble.

You almost got yourself in trouble.

Now, how about those hall passes?

[music]

Rebecca! Hurry up!

Mom and Dad will be home any minute

and I still haven't gotten dinner ready.

What are you talking about? You hurry up.

I've been doing all the work around here

while you act like you're so busy cooking.

I am busy cooking! You've been vacuuming

the same spot for the last 15 minutes!

Ha! You only know that because you've been watching me

instead of cooking!

We wouldn't even be in this mess if it wasn't for you.

Oh me? You're the one who volunteered

us to do all these chores in the first place!

Thanks for that. Next time,

just keep your mouth shut!

Ha! Now you keep your mouth shut!

Oh, no he didn't!

Ah!

[screams]

[laughter] [shrieks]

Hey! What is going on?

She started it!

Look, I don't care who started it.

Sit down, sit down.

Why are you two fighting? What's going on?

-Because he won't do... -Because she won't do...

-...her share of the chores! -...his share of the chores!

I did express my concerns about their lack

of parental supervision. See?

-Dylan, not now. -Oh, okay.

Rebecca, what is really going on?

This isn't just about chores.

-Charlie and I messed up. -You got that right.

All this responsibility was way too much for us.

We were too scared to say anything.

We thought you guys were gonna think we were just babies.

We tried to tough it out but a week was just too much!

[clears throat]

Well, alright, well, look, guys.

Your mother and I have a confession to make.

We could have stopped working late a couple of days ago.

But you all were doing such a good job, I didn't--

-we didn't want it to end. -Yes.

-So your father and I... -Mostly her.

Have been meeting for mini golf after work.

And we bowled that one day. We bowled, remember?

So let me get this straight.

You guys let us do all this work plus homework

So that you guys can go out and play mini golf?

And bowling. [laughs]

Not helping, I see that now. Okay.

All right, guys. Look.

You know, we're sorry. We apologize

for not being honest from the start.

But listen, you guys should have told us too

if it was too much work.

I thought you did a great job, by the way.

So wait, if everyone had just been honest with each other,

none of this craziness would have happened?

-Yeah, pretty much. -Pretty much.

-Basically. -I mean, I think I was

going subconsciously. I was trying to...

-Myles. -Okay.

Wow.

I think you made me realize what I need to do.

I don't know about this plan, Dylan.

Well, I'm sure about it, Booder.

So, isn't that all that matters?

I'm just gonna tell Lisa and her crew how it is,

how it's gonna be from now on. Enough is enough.

Sorry, Dylan. I'm weak!

You wanted to meet?

We need to settle this, Lisa.

I'm listening.

It's time to be honest.

I was wrong for trading hall passes for favors.

I shouldn't have taken advantage of everyone like that.

But this needs to stop.

We almost got caught the other day

and it's only a matter of time before we do.

Yeah, but until we do, we might as well have fun with it.

I was given the responsibility of being a hall monitor,

so I need to honor the badge.

So either you guys go back to class

and let things go back to normal or I'll shut you down.

Wait, you shut us down? I don't think so.

How 'bout we shut you in one of those lockers?

[scoffs] You're funny. Y'all wouldn't dare.

Wait, hold on, hold on.

Maybe I'll wait.

Oh, Principal Matthews!

Booder told me there was trouble brewing in my hallways.

I was trading hall passes for favors and other perks.

I messed up. But I tried to shut it down.

But Lisa and her crew went bananas.

You all head to my office.

I have some perks of detention to give you.

I am very disappointed in you.

Being hall monitor was supposed to teach you

the importance of rules and how they protect us.

-But you made it about yourself. -I'm sorry, Principal Matthews.

But if you give me another chance,

I know I'll be a great hall monitor.

[laughter]

Dylan, you can be real funny sometimes.

I will never leave my beautiful hallways

in your hands again.

But you can work on your comedy routine.

In detention!

You'll have plenty of time. [laughs]
