1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,160
Would you want to grow up here? 
 I have to.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,560
I'm Alex Mack.

3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:10,600
I was just an average kid 
 until my first day of Junior High.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,680
One minute I'm walking home, 
 the next, there's a crash

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,640
and I'm drenched 
 in some weird chemical.

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,280
And since then... 
 nothing's been the same.

7
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,880
My best friend Ray 
 thinks it's cool.

8
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,040
And my sister Annie 
 thinks I'm a science project.

9
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,680
I can't let anyone else find out.

10
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,800
Not even my parents.

11
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,000
I know the Chemical Plant 
 wants to find me

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,840
and turn me into some experiment.

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,320
But you know something?

14
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,600
I guess I'm not so average anymore.

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,800
[Mrs Mack] 
 George, let's go!

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,760
We're already late.

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,120
Whose wedding is this again?

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,640
Maggie's, remember? 
 Your cousin.

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,720
- But she got married last year. 
 - She did.

20
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,440
Don't ask.

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,560
Later. Whoa!

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,720
- Where are you going? 
 - To play minigolf with Ray.

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,920
- They're open late on Fridays. 
 - Nice try.

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,120
But you're staying home with Annie.

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,520
- We want you both safe at home. 
 - Just me and... Annie?

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,280
Nobody likes that.

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,400
[Mrs Mack] I... I know 
 it's cruel of us but you'll survive.

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,680
- Why don't you ask Ray over? 
 - Ooh, Annie.

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,160
I almost forgot. 
 You have a letter.

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,520
[Mr Mack] 
 Okay, let's go.

31
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,440
You two have fun.

32
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,400
And Annie is in charge, remember.

33
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,200
Bye.

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,760
So what did we wind up getting her?

35
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,360
[Alex] 
 Well... see ya.

36
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,960
Uh! Not a chance. 
 Alex, you heard them.

37
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,040
What am I supposed to do here?

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,400
Have you considered homework?

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,680
On Friday night? 
 I don't think so.

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Well, we could sit around here 
 and get to know each other better.

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,960
You're making homework 
 sound pretty good.

42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,280
16 points.

43
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,600
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

44
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,360
What?

45
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,960
First of all, stop floating letters 
 and secondly, "majorly" is not a word.

46
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,280
Yes, it is. 
 I've heard you say it.

47
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,800
That doesn't make it a word.

48
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,960
Let's just forget the whole game. 
 You're just too smart for me.

49
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,760
Whatever.

50
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,520
Do you do that just to annoy me?

51
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,480
Do, I do it because it's easy.

52
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,720
What's that letter you got?

53
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,440
I got accepted to
the Phillipsburg Science Academy.

54
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,720
What's that?

55
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,640
One of the top science schools 
 in the country.

56
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,040
Their next term starts 
 in about a month

57
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,520
but I don't think I'm ready 
 to just... go away.

58
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,600
Away?

59
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,240
- The school's away? 
 - Yup.

60
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,960
There's an orientation 
 next weekend.

61
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,000
Sounds great, but... 
 Mmm, I don't think so.

62
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,360
Annie... go! 
 At leas to the orientation.

63
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,440
I mean, think about it. 
 This could be the chance of a lifetime.

64
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,680
For you.

65
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,920
[whirring]

66
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,840
Alex, what are you doing?

67
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,480
We know you love 
 to use your powers

68
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,480
but we'd rather 
 you saved them for fun.

69
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,440
Now that you're our only child 
 your happiness is our first priority.

70
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,720
Okay, but I better do my homework.

71
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,040
Silly girl, your father did it for you.

72
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,440
Great! 
 Can I go play minigolf with Ray?

73
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:01,080
Invite Ray to play the new 
 minigolf course in the backyard!

74
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,320
My own personal golf course?

75
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,800
We used the money we saved 
 since your sister moved away.

76
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,000
- What was her name again? 
 - It doesn't matter.

77
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,720
What matters is 
 that there is nothing

78
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,720
to distract us from 
 spoiling our only child.

79
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,160
Mmm... 
 Mmm...

80
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,800
I'll help you pack.

81
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,080
Annie, you do realize it's okay 
 if you don't like this place.

82
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,600
I know, I heard you 
 the first hundred times you told me.

83
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,520
There's no reason why 
 you have to leave your family

84
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,160
to get a good education.

85
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,800
But if you really like this place 
 we're behind you 100%.

86
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,960
Yeah, but it's probably some dull

87
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,760
academically uninspired 
 boot camp, anyway.

88
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,200
Yeah, it's very institutional. 
 I bet you everybody's really pale.

89
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:18,440
Actually... this looks pretty cool.

90
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,000
[sighing]

91
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,880
[woman screaming, 
 gunfire, pig squealing]

92
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,040
This might be the worst 
 movie I've ever seen.

93
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,400
It's like they made it 
 stink on purpose.

94
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,120
Let's find another.

95
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,440
[horses stampeding, gunfire]

96
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,080
This is the life.

97
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,880
Annie's not here 
 to intrude on our fun.

98
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,320
I really think you'd miss Annie 
 if she wasn't around.

99
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,320
I've spent 13 years with her! 
 I think that's plenty.

100
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,720
Once your parents start 
 focusing in on you alone

101
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,760
they'll never get off your back.

102
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,760
I can handle them.

103
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,040
I just fixed that old loose screen

104
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,520
and was about to 
 clean out the gutters

105
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,600
when I realized 
 I was neglecting the two of you.

106
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,720
How about you two 
 helping me out?

107
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:12,600
Gee, Dad, I'd love to 
 but... we just ate.

108
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,200
Oh, okay. 
 Just thought I'd ask.

109
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,680
- See, I told you I could handle them. 
 - Ah, here's one.

110
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000
[man screaming, 
 chain saw buzzing]

111
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,080
- Serial-killing grandma.
- Works for me.

112
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,880
[chain saw buzzing]

113
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,320
- Are you Anne Mack? 
 - Annie.

114
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,480
- Who are you? 
 - I'm your student host, Bruce Lester.

115
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,680
- Can I show you around? 
 - Uh-huh.

116
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,120
- Hi. 
 - Bruce Lester, student host.

117
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,920
Barbara Mack, mother.

118
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,200
Well... ready?

119
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,560
Student host... huh! 
 They sure don't miss a trick.

120
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Think we're getting older?

121
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,640
That's the first time I ever 
 stopped watching TV on purpose.

122
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,160
- Let's play hide-and-go-seek. 
 - Like when we were seven?

123
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,040
You couldn't morph then.
It might be more interesting now.

124
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,920
- Annie would hate it. 
 - Annie isn't here.

125
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,440
Okay, turn around and count to ten.

126
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,040
No going into pipes 
 or anything like that.

127
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,240
It wouldn't be fair.

128
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five...

129
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,960
four, three...

130
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,760
[Mr Mack] 
 Alex! Are you in there?

131
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,000
- Where's Alex? 
 - She went to get something.

132
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,640
I thought I'd surprise 
 Alex's mom and do the laundry.

133
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,960
The laundry? 
 You can't do the laundry now.

134
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,440
I certainly can.

135
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,120
I'm in the middle of
my second load already.

136
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,880
[birds chirping]

137
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,600
I had no idea you were 
 teaching here, Professor Lake.

138
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,800
I've read just about 
 everything you've written.

139
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,120
Good! I have seven 
 unpublished works

140
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,280
I'd be happy to burden you with.

141
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,520
You have really been 
 an inspiration.

142
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,360
My dear, the road to brilliance 
 is littered with the bodies

143
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,720
of those I've inspired before you.

144
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,560
What you have to do is use 
 my ideas as stepping stones

145
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,920
to attain your own future glories.

146
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,880
I've maintained a 4.0
average since preschool.

147
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,600
But the idea of throwing myself 
 into some academic rat race

148
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,240
- doesn't seem so great. 
 - Nonsense!

149
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,320
Phillipsburg is an extremely 
 challenging and positive environment.

150
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,440
You think I would waste 
 my time here otherwise?

151
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,720
I am curious.

152
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,920
Why would a former 
 nobel prize winner like you

153
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,640
spend his time 
 in such a small school?

154
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,720
Annie, size if not 
 an indication of greatness.

155
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,840
Besides, in the last few years

156
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,600
my work has been looked upon
by the scientific community

157
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,320
an increasingly eccentric 
 and bizarre.

158
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,600
I'm just hoping that 
 my theories will live on

159
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,440
through the students here.

160
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,000
Well, if I enrolled here

161
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,240
is there any way 
 I could have you as a teacher?

162
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,400
I think I'd have to insist upon it.

163
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,800
Tell you what.

164
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,440
I'll take care of this 
 for you, Mr. Mack.

165
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,000
It's just a matter of 
 turning the dryer on.

166
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,160
Oh, can't forget one of these.

167
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,000
I hate static cling.

168
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,320
- [switches on dryer] 
 - Let's go find Alex.

169
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,240
Shouldn't I stay here 
 and watch the dryer?

170
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,440
The dryer knows what it's doing.

171
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,080
Come on!

172
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,960
Alex!

173
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,600
- Alex, are you all right? 
 - Um... I think so.

174
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,480
Sorry about that. 
 Your dad was all over me.

175
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,280
I almost got caught 
 in the lint trap.

176
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,080
- Do you know what that's like? 
 - Uh...

177
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,520
Not really.

178
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,680
Help me, Ray.

179
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:50,080
Sorry you can't stay for 
 the chess tournament, Annie.

180
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,520
I'm a lousy player. 
 You'd lose respect for me.

181
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,800
Somehow I don't think so.

182
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,240
So, what are the chances
of getting you out here?

183
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,600
Better than they were 
 when I got here.

184
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,040
A lot of the students 
 know about you

185
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,000
and really want you to enroll.

186
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,920
None of them more than me.

187
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040
Now, I bet this school 
 pays you to be a salesman

188
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,160
- for all the potential students. 
 - No way.

189
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,800
- I pick my spots. 
 - Okay, let's move 'em on out.

190
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,520
- Bye, Bruce. 
 - Bye, Ms. Mack.

191
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,600
Bye, Annie.

192
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,480
Bye. 
 Hope we see each other very soon.

193
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,480
I do, too.

194
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,680
What?!

195
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,600
- Dad. 
 - Hey!

196
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,880
- Alex. 
 - Sleeping?

197
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,160
Uh... no, no, I was just, 
 uh, resting my eyes.

198
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,240
Feel like going to the movies?

199
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,520
Oh, I'd love to, Alex 
 but I'm waiting for Stan to call.

200
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,840
- Why don't you go with Ray? 
 - He's playing basketball.

201
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,480
Want to play scrabble?

202
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,160
- Ah, can't, honey. 
 - [phone ringing]

203
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,240
There's Stan now.

204
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,120
[zapping]

205
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,600
Alex? Alex.

206
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,520
Are you okay?

207
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,360
Yeah, I just got a little dizzy.

208
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,880
It's probably nothing.

209
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,360
Maybe I should take you 
 to the doctor.

210
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,560
The doctor? I don't want 
 to go to the doctor.

211
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:23,360
It's just Dr. Whiteside.

212
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,560
He'll give you a through exam 
 and figure out what's going on.

213
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:29,520
I'll call him right now.

214
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,480
- Nice school, huh? 
 - Nice? Are you kidding?

215
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,640
- It was amazing. 
 - Mind if I'm honest with you?

216
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,240
That depends.

217
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,120
I don't think 
 you should go away to school.

218
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,880
Not yet.

219
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,960
Then why did you take me here?

220
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,680
I wanted you 
 to make your own decision.

221
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:53,440
Yeah, I can see that.

222
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,520
Annie, you have 
 your whole life to be away.

223
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,800
You should enjoy your home and
your family while you have them.

224
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,080
It's only for a few 
 more years, anyway.

225
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,320
I think you should think about Alex.

226
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,600
Oh, way to convince me 
 to stay home.

227
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,600
She needs you, Annie.

228
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,280
She's going through that 
 awkward stage right now.

229
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,640
I think you're the only one 
 that understands her.

230
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,560
- But if you really want to go away... 
 - Yeah, then you're behind me 100%.

231
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,640
I want to go to Phillipsburg, Mom.

232
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,360
I thought so.

233
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,280
[Mrs Mack] Doesn't the house look 
 great after you've been away?

234
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,320
It looks like it always does, Mom.

235
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,240
[Alex] 
 Annie! You're back!

236
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,960
Perceptive, aren't we?

237
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,480
I'm really glad to see you.

238
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,280
Really? 
 You must be sick.

239
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,600
She is. 
 I'm taking her to the doctor.

240
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,920
- The doctor?! 
 - The doctor?

241
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,960
- I'm sure she doesn't need one. 
 - How would you know?

242
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,200
I told him about that kid in your 
 class who had the same thing I do--

243
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,040
The dizziness thing.

244
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,800
You're right. He had that. 
 It turned out to be nothing.

245
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,160
But you don't even 
 know her symptoms.

246
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,280
Before you take her to the doctor 
 let me give that guy a call.

247
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,400
His dad's a doctor.

248
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:41,160
And it's the quickest way to get 
 Alex the care that she needs.

249
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,200
She fell, and I grabbed her. 
 I kept her from...

250
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,240
You got stuck in the dryer?

251
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,440
I don't even want 
 to know the details.

252
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,720
I feel really fuzzy.

253
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,920
What do you think it is?

254
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,520
You're probably dehydrated 
 from just all the hot air.

255
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,000
Thanks for saving me down there.

256
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,520
Back in the saddle, 
 and I haven't even unpacked yet.

257
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,720
What's this?

258
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,160
- The institution? 
 - My new home.

259
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,440
Finally, independence. 
 For both of us.

260
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,920
- You're going? 
 - Yup. All of this will be yours.

261
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,040
- You still fuzzy? 
 - No. No.

262
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,320
Couldn't be better.

263
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,880
- So you're really going? 
 - Is that a problem?

264
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,440
No, of course not.

265
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,960
Annie, I'm just surprised 
 you want to be another genius

266
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,840
in a big sea full of geniuses.

267
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,360
But we totally support 
 any decision you made.

268
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,680
Good, because I'm not changing it.

269
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,400
[Mr Mack panting]

270
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,640
- Is that everything?
- Yeah, let me help you pack the car.

271
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,880
- So, this is it. 
 - Yeah.

272
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,960
Finally.

273
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,440
Well, um... so long.

274
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,480
[zapping]

275
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,240
Can't you at least wait 
 until I'm out of the driveway

276
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,600
before you start getting 
 reckless again?

277
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,880
- But I didn't mean to. 
 - I got to go.

278
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,680
[Alex] 
 Wait. Annie.

279
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,320
- I just wanted to tell you that... 
 - [zapping]

280
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,200
Um...

281
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,480
Alex? Alex, stop it!

282
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,160
I can't. I...

283
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,640
Girls, we should be leaving 
 in about ten minutes.

284
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,280
- Where are you going? 
 - Alex and I have to talk.

285
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,480
- [zapping] 
 - [Alex] There goes my big toe.

286
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,480
Alex...

287
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,360
Did Dad use one of these 
 when he threw you in the dryer?

288
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:22,320
- Those perfumey things? 
 - I think so.

289
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,880
Do you realize the main ingredient 
 in these is hydrophilic polymer?

290
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,080
No, Annie, 
 I did not realize that.

291
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,440
It reacted with 
 your internal GC-161

292
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,520
which naturally causes 
 your morphing frenzy.

293
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,640
Does that mean you can fix it?

294
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,000
I already have enough 
 trouble fitting in at school.

295
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,640
Give me a minute to find a formula.

296
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,680
[churning]

297
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,600
What's in that?

298
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,600
Ask yourself if you really want 
 to know the answer to that.

299
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,160
Annie, what are you 
 girls doing in here?

300
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,920
- Saying good-bye. 
 - Can you give us a minute?

301
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,520
Sure. Of course.

302
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,760
Sorry there's 
 no little paper unbrellas.

303
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,760
Drink.

304
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,680
That's it. I knew it.

305
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,440
- Got to go. 
 - Wait a minute.

306
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,080
- How can you leave? 
 - What do you mean?

307
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,200
You think some school will give you 
 a better science project than me?

308
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,760
No, but I've got to get on 
 with my life.

309
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,760
- Not yet.
- You only want me to watch over you.

310
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,150
No.

311
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,040
I'll miss you.

312
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,400
- I'll miss my sister. 
 - I'll miss you, too, Alex.

313
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,520
But you're going to be okay.

314
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,600
I know I'd manage if I had to 
 but I want you to stay because...

315
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,320
we're starting to make 
 a pretty good team.

316
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,440
With me doing all the work.

317
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,640
Oh, admit it, Annie, 
 we have fun.

318
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,960
I may now be 
 the most fun you've had

319
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,160
in your whole brainy life.

320
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,600
Come on, don't go. 
 Not yet.

321
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,480
Wait a few years and then 
 join the circus, or something.

322
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,080
The circus?

323
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,000
You're the one that 
 should join the circus.

324
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,960
Totally freak show.

325
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,120
Okay.

326
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:37,240
A few more years... 
 and then I'm gone.

327
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:40,720
Annie.

328
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,360
Really? Finally?

329
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:54,840
Yeah, to unpack.

330
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,600
Unpack? Are you kidding?

331
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,760
She just couldn't bear 
 the thought of leaving me.

332
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,200
No, really, 
 why aren't you going?

333
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,520
I just realized that 
 I'd feel better

334
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,400
if I stayed and impressed 
 everybody with my 4.0 average.

335
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,720
It's the "big fish, small pond" thing.

336
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,080
I can tell superiority 
 is really important to me.

337
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,000
Well, I don't buy any of it

338
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,280
but I'll take your decision 
 and run with it.

339
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,760
- [both laughing] 
 - Whoa, um...

340
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,040
Dad should be just about 
 finished packing the car.

341
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,240
Who wants to tell him?

342
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,600
- Come on, Mom. 
 - Oh, you cowards.

343
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,960
Come on, 
 you know you want to.

344
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,680
You said your sister 
 was completely average.

345
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,200
She is.

346
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,240
She's the best frisbee 
 player I've ever seen.

347
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,600
- Alex. 
 - [panting]

348
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,880
What's the matter?

349
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,040
Nothing, 
 she's just showing off.

350
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,800
If I could play like that,
I think I'd show off, too.

351
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,040
So, you never really told me.

352
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,000
What kept you from coming 
 to Phillipsburg?

353
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,880
I guess I just wasn't ready.

354
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,680
I still have a lot of things 
 to finish here.

355
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,080
You could have brought 
 any on going projects with you.

356
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,840
There is one big project

357
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,400
that I wouldn't have 
 been able to bring.

358
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,440
But, look, I got a stay

359
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,720
and I got you to come here 
 to visit me.

360
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,080
Your sister must be 
 really jealous of you.

361
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,680
I mean, you're pretty 
 you're brilliant.

362
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,600
Alex has her own talents, 
 trust me.

363
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,640
Do you feel like... 
 taking a walk?

364
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,880
Sure.

365
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:18,920
So your sister finally met a guy.

366
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,840
Yup, another super-brain 
 who's no fun.

367
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,280
They're perfect for each other.

368
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,480
