- Calvin! - Yeah, what? What?

- What? - Oh, I'm sorry, baby. Did I wake you?

You could've woke the dead, Tina.

Do you hear that scratching?

(scratching) What? That?

Shh! Don't talk!

(scratching) That.

I don't know. M-Maybe it's a spider or something.

Spiders don't make noise.

All right, well, it sounds like it's coming from the kitchen.

It's got to be Malcolm and Marty.

At 5:00 in the morning?

With all that legal weed out there? Absolutely.

I don't know, Calvin. It-it sounds like it could be an animal.

Could you just go look?

Hey, I'll look when I get up, okay?

Oh, baby, I don't... All right.

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, no, no.

Baby, please.

I cannot sleep with that.

Just-just go check it out.

(sighs) Fine.

I mean, you know...

But once I brush my teeth, that's usually it for me.

Oh. Oh.

Oh, my God.

- What was it? - I don't know, baby.

Either it was a large raccoon or a small panda.

Well, did you have to make this big a mess?

I didn't do it. That thing did.

Look, babe, when I came in here, that's when he saw me.

And then we squared off, right?

Now, he had eyes as red as the devil.

So then, so then I hit him with the two-piece. Hey, hey. Hey.

Hey. So then, but he's like,

"Oh, what's up? What's up with that?"

Then I was like, "Oh!" So then, so then he came at me, right?

So then I grabbed him, I was like, ugh, and I put him in a full nelson.

And I was choking him, he's like, "Aah!"

And I was choking him. But then, but then he flipped me back over.

So then he started choking me, and I was like, "Get off me."

But his hands was too small to go around my whole neck

so he couldn't get around my whole neck.

So then I hit him with the Ice Cube, I was like, "Yo, we got a problem here?"

Right? So then, then he came running at me.

I grabbed him, I flipped him around here,

and I field-goaled him out the front door.

Whew.

There's footprints in my lasagna!

Well, nothing, babe.

I'm still hearing the hold music,

Babe, I'm a half hour invested on this one.

Don't mean to be pest-imistic,

it was definitely a raccoon.

So we're going to put down like 16 bear traps?

We could, if you sign a waiver saying

Well, we don't have a child, so where do we sign?

Tina, what are you doing? You're just throwing all this food away?

I'm not eating raccoon-touched food.

Have you ever seen a raccoon wash his hands?

They actually do. There's this great video on YouTube where...

Oh, oh, yeah, I seen that.

'Cause they look like little people. They like... (humming)

(both laugh)

- You mind if I check inside? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead.

Uh, look at all this food you're wasting. You know, Tina,

I recently started composting.

Yeah, I know.

For a man with a job, you spend a lot of time digging in my garbage.

Tina, did you get my text?

Probably.

Child, I didn't look. What?

(laughs)

School's canceled today 'cause of the fires up in the mountains.

- Air quality is unsafe for the kids. - Oh.

That never happened in Hickory Corners.

We had closures for blizzards, tornadoes, frogs.

Frogs?

After the tornadoes, it would actually rain frogs.

We had really nice Octobers.

Wow, a raccoon did all of this?

Calvin helped.

- Hey. - PEST CONTROL GUY: Okay, it's looking like

your point of entry is your chimney.

We can put a mesh cap at the top to inhibit access.

Ooh, let's put two in for safety... and electrify it.

So this mesh thing is gonna stop the raccoons?

And Santa Claus.

(laughs)

'Cause, you see, 'cause... the chimney is where...

- that's where Santa comes down. - Yeah.

Hilarious. I get it.

Truth is, if they want in,

they're gonna find another access point.

Best thing to do is to figure out what's

attracting them in the first place.

Some new food source around... Fruit trees, dumpsters?

Dave!

Dave?

Do you know what your compost is doing? Ooh!

I have been waiting for you to ask me that.

I'm returning organic waste to the soil

Well, guess what.

It's attracting raccoons.

Aw. You know, composting brings

all the creatures together.

Not "aw." One of them broke into my house,

Hello, Mr. Raccoon.

Come get your other slipper!

Mama, where's all the food?

I'm not keeping any food in this house

Well, actually, uh, raccoons are not Rodentia,

they are Carnivora.

Which is kind of a misnomer because they're omnivorous, so...

Yo, Marty. Read the room.

Wait, so are you saying there is no food in this house?

Looks like you'll have to eat at home.

But we don't have food at home.

Hey.

About those auditions

for the spring musical.

You know that seventh grader Cooper Brockwell?

You were probably wondering if he's the same Brockwell

as in the school's Brockwell Performing Arts Center.

I wasn't wondering.

Oh, good.

But he is.

Oh, so wait a minute.

Are you saying that I have to cast this Brockwell kid

because his parents paid for the theater?

Grandparents.

His parents paid for the library.

And no, of course I'm not saying that.

You should cast whoever's the best.

Great.

- Was Cooper the best? - Oh, no.

I'm just glad you don't feel any pressure to cast him

just because, without his grandfather,

there wouldn't be a musical at all.

You know, now I'm feeling a little pressure.

No, don't, don't, don't.

It is a nice theater, though, isn't it?

Oh, my God.

(groans) It's always just one thing after another with you.

Remember when you installed those solar panels?

Yeah, I reduced my carbon footprint

and I cut my utility bill in half.

Wrong. You caused a blackout,

and I had to stop a mob from beating your ass.

And what about when you started collecting rainwater?

We were in a drought. I decreased my water consumption.

And this neighborhood was swarming with mosquitoes.

The kid down the street got bit in his eye.

I had to stop his daddy from beating your ass.

Okay. Well, to be fair,

that was the same guy from the blackout, and...

- I think he has anger issues. - Okay.

Oh, look, it's one of those emergency alerts.

It says that there's a...

mountain lion loose in the neighborhood.

Wait a second. You guys got an alert?

- I didn't get an alert. - (alarm blaring)

It's telling us to shelter in place.

You all are getting this?

It's only my phone that doesn't care about me?
