- Who wants oatmeal surprise?

- Sir Monks-a-lot does.

- That's one brave monkey.

- There you go. - Thank you, Daddy! - What's the word, Ed?

- Your car is waxed and I burned that mix CD

as per your instructions.

- Atta boy. - You're ready to roll.

- Roll where? - Oh, you know. Big date tomorrow night.

- Well, your big date better not involve the car because

I already told you that I need it.

- So? I ignore stuff you say all the time.

- Derek, the deal is that I pay half the insurance,

so I get the car one-third of the time.

- Yeah, but possession is nine-tenths of the law,

which is more than one-third... I think.

- Mm hm. - George, are you listening to this?!

- Oh, yeah. But you know what?

You 2 are gonna have to learn to work things out for yourselves

'Cuz I'm just sick of the bickering.

- So that's it? This is so unfair!

- Yeah, so is the fact that you're using my cereal bowl,

but you don't see me throwing a hissy.

But, give it back anyway. - Ah, forget it!

Derek, let go!

- Paws off!

- When you're part of a big family, you have to co-operate.

But how can I cooperate with Derek?

He doesn't know the meaning of the word.

He's an operator not a cooperator.

- Dad you're not seriously grounding us.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, I seriously am.

Because sometimes little kids? They need time outs.

- We're not little kids! At least I'm not.

- Uh, Casey, weren't you playing tug of war over a bowl?

- But Derek started it! - Okay, look, we can sit around

all day and blame Casey for being a big baby

and starting this but... let's move on.

What's the sentence?

- You're both grounded for the weekend. - Oh, no! I have a date!

- And being grounded is for difficult kids.

Do you really want people to think I come from a bad home?

- Ha-ha-ha! It doesn't bother me!

And the first lesson in cooperation

is how to clean up the kitchen together.

- Thanks a lot, Casey.

- Uh, me? Thanks to you I am missing

the biggest party of the year!

- James Burton's? - Yeah, how'd you know?

- 'Cuz that's where I was gonna take Ellen.

- You mean we could've gone together the whole time?

I can't believe this! I am never talking to you again.

- Now, is that a threat

or a promise?

- [Edwin]: Behold. The Super Sleuth 3000

patented detective kit.

- Edwin can we behold later?

We gotta go to school.

- A detective kit? - Oh, yeah!

It's got a u.v. light, spectrometer

and fingerprinting capabilities!

It's cool, huh? - Oh yeah.

You could use it to solve the mystery of...

Your geekdom. ♪♪♪

- Did, did he just insult the Super Sleuth?

- Rough day? - Understatement of the year.

- Well, cheer up! 'Cuz tomorrow...

We are going to the biggest party of the year.

Everyone who's anyone is gonna be there.

- And I'll still be no one.

- No. We're anyones! And everyones.

And not to mention someones!

- Em, I'm grounded.

- For what? Staying up all night studying?

- No, for fighting with Derek.

- Are you serious? Ah, come on, Case!

We have to go! You've got to let the world know that you're single again.

And it's James Burton's party!

We have to go! He's the cutest guy in Grade 12.

- I know... But we were only invited by the cousin of that...

guy with the back hair in chemistry.

James Burton doesn't even know we exist.

- Hey, Casey. What's up, Emily? - [Emily]: Hey, James.

- Hey, Burton. - I heard you 2 are hitting my party on Friday.

Well, listen, I'm stoked you're coming. It's gonna be sick.

- He knows our names. - Sort of!

- You sure this is gonna work?

- One fingerprint and we'll know

who left the TV on last night.

Aha!

I've got one.

Now all we need to do is run it against the suspects

and nab our crook.

- Why're you powdering the remote?

- Trying to find out who left the TV on last night.

- I did. Fell asleep watching hockey.

- Dad!

Don't confess before we've collected the evidence!

- Yeah, thanks a lot George!

- Rapunzel's stepfather wanted to lock her in the tower

but her kind, wonderful

The end.

- Can I go now?

Or did you want Nora to hear you read me another story?

- No, no, you can go.

- Laying on the guilt to help reduce your sentence?

- It's the sickest party of the year!

- I'm sorry, Casey, but you and Derek did the crime,

now you've gotta do the time.

- Don't worry, Ellen. I'll be there.

Yeah, I'll pick you up at, uh, 7, we'll go to James'.

- You are so busted.

- I'm gonna have to call you back. There's a rat in my room.

Huh!

Look, I don't know what you heard

- You're going to James' party. - Oh. That. Right.

Uh... come on!

My dad grounded us over spilt oatmeal

that happened to spill on his head.

- So he overreacted. That doesn't make it okay

to sneak out. - No!

It makes it okay for me

to sneak out. For a goody-goody like you,

well it's never okay. - What is that supposed to mean?

- Oh, it means you're as, ah...

edgy as a teddy bear.

- I'm coming with you.

- Ahh... I never invited you.

And there is no way a goody-goody like you could ever

pull off something like this.

- Pull what off? Come on! What is your plan?

- Uh...

My plan is to sneak out.

- That's your plan? - You got a better plan?

- No! But I'm great at planning!

I love to plan. Oh, in fact, I've already got a plan!

- I've decided...

Since you're not going to the party, I won't either.

- Em, you don't have to do that.

- Hey, what are friends for?

Besides, I'm a little scared to go by myself.

- Oh, then... how 'bout I meet you there?

- You're sneaking out? - Yeah! And I need your help.

What's going on? - I'm tracking a perp.

Whoever stole the last cookie went that-a-way.

'Cuz we'd really love to go, but...

- You wouldn't happen to know anything about this,

ah, surprise invite, would ya'? - Nn-mm.

- Yeah, um, Emily said that her parents suddenly realized

that they hadn't seen you in quite some time, yeah?

So the, they thought about a dinner invite, you know? Ow!

With penguins.

Oh!

Ah, one more thing. If you don't mind.

- What? - It's about eye shadow.

Blue eye shadow with sparkles? You were wearing it Friday night.

- Yeah, so?

- So, you only wear that eye shadow if you're trying to impress a guy.

Why wear it when you're grounded?

- He says it was. - The evidence says not.

- What evidence?

- The Purple Fog. - Purple Fog?

Oh, that's your evidence?

It's just one of Casey's lame school projects.

what kind of project?

But what kind of project

requires black clothing and camouflage makeup?

- A drama project.

Late Friday night, at around 21:00 hours,

someone snuck down the tree in the backyard

to meet up with another someone in the garage.

And, then, after an altercation over cucumber sandwiches,

saw you coming home from Emily's house

and dented the car in a botched escape attempt.

And those someones are--

- It was us! - Oh, oh! - What?

- Derek and I snuck out and we accidentally hit your car.

I'm so sorry.

- What, 'cause, well, I thought that the raccoons...

who live in the rafters snuck down

and fought over sandwiches knocking a bike onto the car,

but the whole 'you did it' thing does make more sense.

- I told you there was no raccoon conspiracy.

- No, see Edwin's right! The raccoons did do it.

Good one, Casey! We really got 'em, huh?

- Gimme a break.

- Okay, so we did it. But it wa- it was an accident

and technically we didn't break our grounding

because we never left the house. - Then why did Ellen leave

a message for you saying she'd left her sunglasses at James Burton's party?

- Oh, well, there is that. - I swear I didn't go.

- No, but she almost did!

Which means that Casey and I are cooperating, right? - Well, that's good because

you're going to be spending a lot of time together.

Derek, you're grounded, again.

No car privileges for 2 months.

- And Casey, you're grounded as well. For 1 month.

- And for what it's worth, I am sorry.

- Me too. And relieved.

I just, I wish we had told you as soon as it happened,
