00:00:04.426 --> 00:00:06.428
I had a bad dream.

00:00:06.469 --> 00:00:08.346
It's okay, sweetie.

00:00:08.430 --> 00:00:09.848
Here, come on.

00:00:09.931 --> 00:00:11.099
Come on.

00:00:11.099 --> 00:00:13.351
It's okay now.

00:00:13.435 --> 00:00:16.855
(yawning):
What was your dream?

00:00:16.938 --> 00:00:18.440
I dreamed...

00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:23.737
there was this man...
outside the door

00:00:23.778 --> 00:00:26.281
with a big knife...

00:00:26.322 --> 00:00:29.367
and he wanted
to tie everyone up...

00:00:29.409 --> 00:00:31.286
and kill them...

00:00:31.327 --> 00:00:34.914
and eat their eyeballs.

00:00:34.956 --> 00:00:36.416
Good night.

00:01:12.535 --> 00:01:14.079
Hey. What you doing
there, son?

00:01:14.162 --> 00:01:16.539
I have to prove Kepler's
third law of planetary motion.

00:01:17.874 --> 00:01:20.085
What's Dewey doing?
He's coloring.

00:01:20.168 --> 00:01:22.545
Well, I'd better get
in there.

00:01:22.587 --> 00:01:24.798
Dad, there's this crazy guy
chasing me.

00:01:24.839 --> 00:01:26.341
He's saying I did
some horrible things,

00:01:26.382 --> 00:01:27.842
but I couldn't
really understand him.

00:01:27.884 --> 00:01:29.636
I think he's an escapee
from the mental hospital.

00:01:30.678 --> 00:01:31.554
I didn't hear anything.

00:01:36.476 --> 00:01:38.144
Hello again, Hal.

00:01:39.938 --> 00:01:42.107
You are not to step foot
outside of this house

00:01:42.148 --> 00:01:44.109
except for school
for the next month!

00:01:44.150 --> 00:01:46.194
Okay.
Wait a minute, honey,
he has to go outside.

00:01:46.236 --> 00:01:48.113
He's not done pulling weeds
from his last punishment.

00:01:48.154 --> 00:01:49.697
Oh, I think staying inside
with no TV

00:01:49.739 --> 00:01:51.032
is worse than weeding.

00:01:51.074 --> 00:01:52.200
I'm already banned from TV.

00:01:52.242 --> 00:01:53.034
You are?

00:01:53.076 --> 00:01:54.619
All right. Fine.

00:01:54.661 --> 00:01:57.831
No TV, no going outside
except for weeding,

00:01:57.872 --> 00:02:00.083
which you'll do at night.

00:02:00.125 --> 00:02:01.751
Inside.

00:02:01.793 --> 00:02:03.545
Oh, I got nothing.

00:02:03.586 --> 00:02:04.712
How long is this going to take?

00:02:04.712 --> 00:02:06.381
Oh, look, just...
go to your room!
Oh, you...

00:02:06.381 --> 00:02:08.299
Your father and I
will sort this out.

00:02:08.383 --> 00:02:09.551
Okay.

00:02:09.592 --> 00:02:11.761
We are not
getting through to him.

00:02:11.803 --> 00:02:13.388
Well, what else
can we do?

00:02:13.388 --> 00:02:16.307
We-We've taken away
television, video games,

00:02:16.391 --> 00:02:17.725
his music, fresh air.

00:02:17.725 --> 00:02:19.394
Lois, we have taken away
his air,

00:02:19.394 --> 00:02:21.312
and he doesn't care
about any of it.

00:02:21.396 --> 00:02:23.106
Well, we had better
come up with something

00:02:23.148 --> 00:02:25.775
before he winds up being
a problem for the state.

00:02:25.817 --> 00:02:27.986
I don't know,
maybe we should try something

00:02:28.069 --> 00:02:29.154
other than punishing him.

00:02:29.237 --> 00:02:30.238
Like what?

00:02:30.238 --> 00:02:32.073
Maybe Reese needs
more attention.

00:02:32.115 --> 00:02:33.241
Positive attention.

00:02:33.283 --> 00:02:34.659
When I was his age

00:02:34.701 --> 00:02:36.911
I always wanted
someone there to talk to,

00:02:36.953 --> 00:02:38.037
to hang out with,

00:02:38.079 --> 00:02:39.247
be a role model.

00:02:39.289 --> 00:02:40.540
Oh, Hal, I don't know.

00:02:40.582 --> 00:02:42.959
Lois, that boy needs
a father figure,

00:02:43.001 --> 00:02:45.211
and I really think
it should be me.

00:02:47.005 --> 00:02:48.715
What is Cynthia doing?

00:02:48.756 --> 00:02:50.049
We thought
you would know,

00:02:50.091 --> 00:02:51.342
given your relationship.

00:02:51.384 --> 00:02:53.553
We don't have a relationship.

00:02:53.595 --> 00:02:57.640
It's okay... to feel.

00:02:57.682 --> 00:02:58.558
Shut up.

00:02:58.600 --> 00:02:59.893
Hey, guys.

00:02:59.934 --> 00:03:01.102
Here you go.

00:03:01.186 --> 00:03:03.271
I'm having a party this weekend.

00:03:03.313 --> 00:03:04.814
Don't lose
those invitations

00:03:04.856 --> 00:03:07.358
'cause no one gets past my dad
without them.

00:03:07.442 --> 00:03:09.360
A party.

00:03:09.444 --> 00:03:13.364
An actual, non-self-delusional-
figment-of-my-imagination party.

00:03:13.448 --> 00:03:14.532
Is it your birthday?

00:03:14.616 --> 00:03:16.117
No, it's just
for socializing.

00:03:16.117 --> 00:03:17.160
You know, it's weird.

00:03:17.202 --> 00:03:18.786
I've been here
for a month and a half,

00:03:18.786 --> 00:03:20.830
and you guys
are the only friends I have.

00:03:20.872 --> 00:03:22.165
You're kidding.

00:03:22.207 --> 00:03:23.291
I'm serious.

00:03:23.291 --> 00:03:25.376
It may be hard
for you guys to believe,

00:03:25.460 --> 00:03:27.295
but some people have trouble

00:03:27.295 --> 00:03:29.380
making friends.

00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.386
Cynthia, are you sure
you want to sound so...?

00:03:35.470 --> 00:03:36.679
Man, I wish I'd thought of this.

00:03:36.721 --> 00:03:38.139
I know!

00:03:38.181 --> 00:03:39.766
It's going
to be so great.

00:03:39.807 --> 00:03:41.476
I'm finally going
to make some friends.

00:03:41.517 --> 00:03:43.228
What do you think,
Malcolm?

00:03:43.269 --> 00:03:44.312
It sounds great.

00:03:44.354 --> 00:03:45.313
It should be a...

00:03:45.355 --> 00:03:46.522
party.

00:03:46.564 --> 00:03:47.815
Fingers crossed.

00:03:47.857 --> 00:03:49.025
Yeah.

00:03:49.067 --> 00:03:50.276
All right.

00:03:51.236 --> 00:03:52.278
Hey, Eric, how's it going?

00:03:53.613 --> 00:03:56.741
You just missed your third
history deadline, Francis.

00:03:56.783 --> 00:04:00.161
I am not going to
Spangler's summer school

00:04:00.245 --> 00:04:02.789
because my partner blew
off his half of the project.

00:04:02.830 --> 00:04:04.165
Didn't you get my half?

00:04:04.165 --> 00:04:05.792
I slipped it under your door.

00:04:05.833 --> 00:04:07.335
This  is your half?

00:04:07.335 --> 00:04:07.961
Yeah.

00:04:08.002 --> 00:04:10.505
This is my half!

00:04:10.546 --> 00:04:12.924
Well, if I knew you were going
to go so overboard,

00:04:13.007 --> 00:04:16.094
I would have spent
a little more time
on my section.

00:04:16.177 --> 00:04:18.888
You photocopied a page
out of the dictionary.

00:04:18.930 --> 00:04:20.348
Okay.

00:04:20.348 --> 00:04:21.432
I messed up.

00:04:21.516 --> 00:04:22.517
There's still time.

00:04:22.517 --> 00:04:24.352
When's this thing due, again?

00:04:24.435 --> 00:04:25.353
The 20th.

00:04:25.353 --> 00:04:26.521
And you're worried?

00:04:26.562 --> 00:04:28.356
We have over a week.

00:04:28.356 --> 00:04:29.857
My half took me two months.

00:04:29.899 --> 00:04:31.943
Okay, I guess I'm
just going to have
to buckle down

00:04:32.026 --> 00:04:32.944
and get it done, then.

00:04:33.027 --> 00:04:34.237
All right.

00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.072
I'll go to the library
and get some books.

00:04:36.114 --> 00:04:37.949
You stay here
and organize your notes.

00:04:38.032 --> 00:04:39.742
Sounds like a plan.

00:04:45.415 --> 00:04:47.375
68 degrees.

00:04:47.417 --> 00:04:49.836
Perfect paper-writing
temperature.

00:04:49.877 --> 00:04:51.754
Let's get to it.

00:04:51.796 --> 00:04:54.590
I thought you said
we were trying
something new.

00:04:54.632 --> 00:04:55.842
That's right, we are.

00:04:55.883 --> 00:04:57.468
So this  isn't
a punishment?

00:04:57.510 --> 00:04:59.470
No. Why
would you say that?

00:04:59.512 --> 00:05:02.223
'Cause you keep
looking at me
and saying stuff.

00:05:02.307 --> 00:05:03.850
I am paying attention
to you.

00:05:03.891 --> 00:05:05.643
But, Dad, a cooking class?

00:05:05.685 --> 00:05:06.853
Come on, Reese,
open your mind.

00:05:06.894 --> 00:05:08.980
The art of cooking
is as masculine

00:05:09.022 --> 00:05:10.690
as any of
these other courses--

00:05:10.732 --> 00:05:12.483
judo, riflery, kickboxing.

00:05:12.525 --> 00:05:15.069
Anyone can fight,
but it takes a special man

00:05:15.069 --> 00:05:18.281
to craft a truly great
Bolognese sauce.

00:05:18.323 --> 00:05:21.159
I still feel like
I'm in trouble.

00:05:32.337 --> 00:05:34.005
Hi, I'm Cynthia.

00:05:34.088 --> 00:05:36.507
We don't know each other,
but I'm having a party.

00:05:36.591 --> 00:05:38.593
See how it says,
"8:00 till ?"

00:05:38.593 --> 00:05:41.429
That means it
could go on
ad infinitum.

00:05:42.430 --> 00:05:44.515
See you there.

00:05:44.599 --> 00:05:45.516
Hi, I'm Cynthia.

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.018
We don't know
each other, but...

00:05:47.101 --> 00:05:49.270
What is she doing,
inviting the whole school?

00:05:49.270 --> 00:05:50.855
I'm sorry. I can't
talk right now.

00:05:50.897 --> 00:05:53.858
I'm saving all my good
conversation for the party.

00:05:53.900 --> 00:05:55.818
For instance, there's
an interesting piece
in this month's

00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:57.695
New England Journal
of Medicine.

00:05:57.737 --> 00:05:59.906
Hey, that's  my  anecdote.

00:05:59.947 --> 00:06:01.699
I hope...

00:06:01.741 --> 00:06:06.621
my wheelchair... fits in the...

00:06:06.704 --> 00:06:08.289
make-out closet.

00:06:08.289 --> 00:06:09.582
I hope you come
with an appetite.

00:06:09.624 --> 00:06:11.793
I'm serving cookies
shaped like famous

00:06:11.876 --> 00:06:13.628
Communist revolutionaries.

00:06:13.711 --> 00:06:15.630
Hi, I'm Cynthia...

00:06:15.713 --> 00:06:18.091
Uh... Cynthia, can I talk to you
for a second?

00:06:18.132 --> 00:06:19.092
Sure.

00:06:19.133 --> 00:06:20.760
Tell all your friends!

00:06:20.802 --> 00:06:23.554
How many people are you
inviting to your party?

00:06:23.638 --> 00:06:24.555
God, who knows?

00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.641
I left a stack of invitations
at the library

00:06:26.682 --> 00:06:28.226
and a stack at the arcade.

00:06:28.309 --> 00:06:30.561
I figure people will
appreciate the personal touch.

00:06:30.645 --> 00:06:32.563
You know, so they can match
a face with a face.

00:06:34.315 --> 00:06:36.025
Don't you think you're
kind of overreaching?

00:06:36.067 --> 00:06:37.568
What are you talking about?

00:06:37.652 --> 00:06:38.820
I'm afraid you're
setting yourself up

00:06:38.820 --> 00:06:40.571
for a giant
disappointment.

00:06:40.655 --> 00:06:42.657
I mean, when ten people
don't show up, it's a drag.

00:06:42.657 --> 00:06:44.033
When 300 people
don't show up,

00:06:44.075 --> 00:06:45.576
it's, like,
total humiliation.

00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:47.745
Well, I guess lots of people
will have to show up, then.

00:06:47.829 --> 00:06:49.831
Cynthia, you're a Krelboyne.

00:06:49.831 --> 00:06:52.583
Krelboynes have
Krelboyne parties.

00:06:52.667 --> 00:06:54.877
You don't know how many friends
I'm capable of making.

00:06:54.919 --> 00:06:56.421
Yes, I do. Zero.

00:06:56.504 --> 00:06:57.547
Just like the rest of us.

00:06:57.588 --> 00:06:59.924
Cynthia, no one's
coming to your party.

00:06:59.966 --> 00:07:01.342
Oh, yeah?

00:07:01.342 --> 00:07:03.511
Well, it so happens
the Kinkos man said

00:07:03.594 --> 00:07:06.013
I set a new record
for laminated invitations.

00:07:06.013 --> 00:07:08.349
So? That doesn't
mean anything.

00:07:08.349 --> 00:07:09.934
I know what this is
all about.

00:07:09.976 --> 00:07:10.810
You're jealous.

00:07:10.852 --> 00:07:12.687
Jealous?

00:07:12.770 --> 00:07:15.189
Making friends obviously
doesn't come easy to you.

00:07:15.189 --> 00:07:17.191
So you hide in your
safe little circle

00:07:17.191 --> 00:07:18.985
while people like me
throw big parties

00:07:19.026 --> 00:07:20.987
and make lots of friends
and enjoy life.

00:07:21.988 --> 00:07:24.949
Hmm? Bitter--
what a surprise.

00:07:26.826 --> 00:07:29.704
The key to quick chopping is
to rest the blade

00:07:29.787 --> 00:07:33.749
against your knuckles
and slowly pull back as we...

00:07:37.253 --> 00:07:38.296
Let's see it again.

00:07:44.260 --> 00:07:46.679
Oh, my word!

00:07:46.762 --> 00:07:48.431
Actually, his slices are

00:07:48.431 --> 00:07:50.600
a  little  more uniform
than yours.

00:07:50.641 --> 00:07:53.853
And you say you've never cooked
anything before?

00:07:53.936 --> 00:07:55.396
Intentionally?

00:07:55.438 --> 00:07:56.397
No.

00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:57.899
Remarkable.

00:07:59.358 --> 00:08:01.694
Sit down
and listen to me!

00:08:01.736 --> 00:08:03.404
I am sick of this!

00:08:03.446 --> 00:08:04.530
It's been two days

00:08:04.572 --> 00:08:06.282
and you haven't done
a lick of work.

00:08:06.365 --> 00:08:09.035
And I can't believe I let you
drag me to that movie.

00:08:09.076 --> 00:08:10.119
I know.
I'm beginning to question

00:08:10.119 --> 00:08:12.288
the whole talking dog genre.

00:08:12.371 --> 00:08:14.790
You know what would get our mind
off that movie?

00:08:14.790 --> 00:08:16.292
Another round
of miniature golf!

00:08:16.375 --> 00:08:17.293
No! No miniature golf.

00:08:17.376 --> 00:08:18.753
You have to get to work.

00:08:18.794 --> 00:08:19.629
You're right.

00:08:19.629 --> 00:08:21.297
When you're right, you're right.

00:08:21.380 --> 00:08:22.298
Let's get to it.

00:08:22.381 --> 00:08:24.634
These two books are
on the war itself

00:08:24.634 --> 00:08:26.636
so you can breeze
through them

00:08:26.636 --> 00:08:29.138
'cause your half of the project
is on Reconstruction.

00:08:29.138 --> 00:08:31.307
Okay. I have no idea
what you're talking about.

00:08:31.390 --> 00:08:32.558
But I will

00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:33.518
'cause I'm not leaving this room

00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:34.685
for the next ten hours.

00:08:34.727 --> 00:08:36.312
That's what I like to hear.

00:08:36.312 --> 00:08:38.814
Now, before I go,
do you need  anything?

00:08:38.856 --> 00:08:41.150
I don't want you leaving
this room.

00:08:41.192 --> 00:08:42.735
No, just stop bothering me.

00:08:42.818 --> 00:08:44.195
I'm trying to study.

00:09:00.294 --> 00:09:03.464
All right, Harvey, let's see
if you can break Brent's record.

00:09:03.506 --> 00:09:05.675
You have to beat an hour
and four minutes.

00:09:07.426 --> 00:09:08.094
Go!

00:09:10.304 --> 00:09:11.264
Sorry I'm late!

00:09:11.305 --> 00:09:12.473
Craig ran off some kids

00:09:12.515 --> 00:09:14.684
and needed me to walk him
to his car.

00:09:14.684 --> 00:09:17.186
I'll have dinner ready
in just one second.

00:09:17.186 --> 00:09:18.437
Shh, shh, shh.

00:09:18.479 --> 00:09:20.314
Look.

00:09:24.443 --> 00:09:25.653
Well?

00:09:25.695 --> 00:09:27.280
It's hot.

00:09:27.321 --> 00:09:29.365
And it needs
another bay leaf.

00:09:30.825 --> 00:09:32.368
Just look at him.

00:09:32.451 --> 00:09:34.287
After tasting
his chocolate soufflé,

00:09:34.328 --> 00:09:36.539
the class actually gave him
a standing ovation.

00:09:36.622 --> 00:09:38.040
Reese?

00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:38.916
Dewey,

00:09:38.958 --> 00:09:41.210
are you happy with how
those are julienned?

00:09:41.210 --> 00:09:42.378
I think so.

00:09:42.378 --> 00:09:43.963
Go check the brioche.

00:09:44.964 --> 00:09:46.549
The bread in the oven?

00:09:46.591 --> 00:09:47.633
Ah.

00:09:49.051 --> 00:09:50.886
Dad, I just wanted
to let you know

00:09:50.928 --> 00:09:53.389
how much that cooking
class means to me.

00:09:53.389 --> 00:09:55.308
If you hadn't signed
me up for it,

00:09:55.391 --> 00:09:58.227
I never would've known
that something so stupid

00:09:58.227 --> 00:09:59.395
could be so much fun.

00:10:00.813 --> 00:10:02.231
Thanks.

00:10:04.400 --> 00:10:08.321
Oh, come on, that's got to make
you feel good.

00:10:11.949 --> 00:10:15.036
Aw, look at Malcolm,
surrounded by all his friends.

00:10:15.077 --> 00:10:17.705
I wonder what he owes
his social success to?

00:10:17.747 --> 00:10:19.915
What do you think,
Invisible Friend Number One?

00:10:19.957 --> 00:10:21.250
Leave me alone.

00:10:21.292 --> 00:10:23.127
There you go again--
pushing people away.

00:10:23.169 --> 00:10:25.171
You know, Malcolm,
if you want to make friends

00:10:25.212 --> 00:10:26.422
you have to extend yourself.

00:10:26.464 --> 00:10:27.298
Yeah, you're right.

00:10:27.340 --> 00:10:29.133
I'm going to work
on that. See ya.

00:10:29.175 --> 00:10:30.509
It's sad, really.

00:10:30.551 --> 00:10:32.303
I feel sorry for you.

00:10:32.345 --> 00:10:33.304
You know what?

00:10:33.346 --> 00:10:35.306
I just got
the greatest idea!

00:10:35.348 --> 00:10:37.266
It's the perfect way
to break you out

00:10:37.308 --> 00:10:38.893
of your self-protective shell.

00:10:38.934 --> 00:10:39.894
What are you
talking about?

00:10:39.935 --> 00:10:42.271
You're going to cohost
the party with me.

00:10:42.313 --> 00:10:43.272
Come on.

00:10:43.314 --> 00:10:45.691
Hi, I'm Cynthia
and this is Malcolm.

00:10:45.733 --> 00:10:48.319
We're cohosting a party
this weekend...

00:10:48.402 --> 00:10:49.320
Let go.

00:10:49.403 --> 00:10:51.155
And we have a musical
invitation for you.

00:10:51.238 --> 00:10:53.407
You should come 'round
to our party, you'll have fun

00:10:53.449 --> 00:10:55.534
You'll have fun

00:10:55.618 --> 00:10:58.454
You should come 'round to
our party, you'll have fun...

00:10:58.454 --> 00:11:00.206
Okay, you made
me do this.

00:11:02.625 --> 00:11:05.378
Can't you think of a better
place to kiss me?

00:11:05.461 --> 00:11:07.046
There. Read that.

00:11:07.129 --> 00:11:08.381
Malcolm, are you crazy?

00:11:08.464 --> 00:11:10.132
Read.

00:11:11.217 --> 00:11:12.802
That's the Krelboyne
Wall of Fame.

00:11:12.802 --> 00:11:14.553
You can see that you're
pretty well represented.

00:11:14.637 --> 00:11:17.306
There's my section
and there's Lloyd's.

00:11:17.390 --> 00:11:20.184
But in terms of sheer volume,
you still have us beat.

00:11:20.226 --> 00:11:21.310
So do you understand now?

00:11:21.352 --> 00:11:24.271
You can't have that party.

00:11:27.358 --> 00:11:29.819
But that one there,
that's ridiculous.

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:32.196
No one really believes that
about you.

00:11:36.992 --> 00:11:38.953
STEVIE:
Real...

00:11:38.994 --> 00:11:40.746
classy.

00:11:47.461 --> 00:11:48.921
Hey, you guys
seen Cynthia?

00:11:48.963 --> 00:11:51.006
No, but maybe  you
can settle a debate.

00:11:51.048 --> 00:11:52.341
Maroon or beige?

00:11:52.383 --> 00:11:53.217
What are you guys

00:11:53.300 --> 00:11:54.468
talking about?

00:11:54.510 --> 00:11:56.595
Duh. Matching turtlenecks
for the party.

00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:57.680
CYNTHIA:
Hey, everybody.

00:11:57.722 --> 00:12:00.182
Oh, Cynthia,
I wanted to apologize...

00:12:00.182 --> 00:12:01.726
Nothing to apologize
for, Malcolm.

00:12:01.767 --> 00:12:02.935
Here.

00:12:03.018 --> 00:12:04.437
I'm canceling my party.

00:12:04.520 --> 00:12:06.355
These are uninvitations.

00:12:06.355 --> 00:12:09.191
Don't crowd, there's
one for each of you.

00:12:09.191 --> 00:12:11.026
Malcolm opened my
eyes to the fact

00:12:11.068 --> 00:12:12.695
that I'm a creepy,
friendless dork

00:12:12.737 --> 00:12:14.613
who has no reason
to expect anyone

00:12:14.697 --> 00:12:15.698
to come to her party.

00:12:15.740 --> 00:12:18.451
You callous bastard!

00:12:18.534 --> 00:12:21.370
Cynthia, I didn't want to
tell you like that. I'm sorry.

00:12:21.412 --> 00:12:22.371
No need to be sorry.

00:12:22.413 --> 00:12:23.873
I should be thanking you.

00:12:23.873 --> 00:12:25.374
Thank you, Malcolm.

00:12:25.416 --> 00:12:27.251
Cynthia...
You know what?!

00:12:27.293 --> 00:12:28.586
There's only
so much crying

00:12:28.627 --> 00:12:30.171
I can do in one day,

00:12:30.212 --> 00:12:33.382
and just looking at you
makes me want to cry.

00:12:33.424 --> 00:12:34.592
So, if you
don't mind,

00:12:34.633 --> 00:12:36.719
I'd like to leave you now.

00:12:40.473 --> 00:12:43.601
ERIC:
All right, no more
distractions, Francis.

00:12:43.642 --> 00:12:45.603
I'm tired of yelling at you.

00:12:45.644 --> 00:12:48.814
I'm not saying Harvey's
last heat wasn't exciting...

00:12:48.856 --> 00:12:50.107
You didn't have to kill him,
you know.

00:12:50.149 --> 00:12:52.401
Yes! Yes, I did.

00:12:52.443 --> 00:12:53.611
Now, please,

00:12:53.652 --> 00:12:56.322
as a friend, just focus!

00:12:56.363 --> 00:12:57.406
I'm sorry.

00:12:57.490 --> 00:12:58.699
I know I tend
to procrastinate,

00:12:58.741 --> 00:13:01.410
but when a deadline nears,
I always manage to get it done.

00:13:01.452 --> 00:13:04.997
Okay. I'll check
on you in 30.

00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.291
Uh, you'd better take this.

00:13:07.333 --> 00:13:08.417
Why?

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:44.703
Man, you know this party's
gettin' hotter

00:13:44.745 --> 00:13:48.749
It's gettin' hotter

00:13:48.791 --> 00:13:52.169
I'm feelin' hotter

00:13:52.211 --> 00:13:53.796
Feelin' hotter

00:13:56.757 --> 00:13:59.969
I want to let my hair down

00:13:59.969 --> 00:14:03.639
Gonna let my hair down.

00:14:06.308 --> 00:14:08.853
I can't believe
I really made this.

00:14:08.894 --> 00:14:10.396
You know, Dad,

00:14:10.479 --> 00:14:13.983
if you work really hard
at something, it shows.

00:14:14.024 --> 00:14:15.568
Yes, son.
Yes, it does.

00:14:17.653 --> 00:14:19.029
Mmm...

00:14:19.071 --> 00:14:20.823
Class, during our next session

00:14:20.865 --> 00:14:23.033
we'll be holding
a little competition.

00:14:23.075 --> 00:14:25.661
Friends and relatives
are encouraged to attend,

00:14:25.703 --> 00:14:28.831
and don't be discouraged
if you feel a little outclassed

00:14:28.873 --> 00:14:31.250
by some of our
more promising students.

00:14:31.333 --> 00:14:32.835
We're all here to have fun.

00:14:32.835 --> 00:14:34.169
What do I get if I win?

00:14:34.211 --> 00:14:35.671
A six-inch paring knife

00:14:35.713 --> 00:14:37.548
and a bread cloche.

00:14:38.841 --> 00:14:40.467
Awesome!

00:14:44.263 --> 00:14:45.723
May I help you?

00:14:45.764 --> 00:14:47.016
Hi. I'm Malcolm.

00:14:47.057 --> 00:14:48.934
I don't know if you remember...

00:14:48.976 --> 00:14:50.728
I'm not sure.
I have a vague
recollection

00:14:50.769 --> 00:14:53.355
of you throwing
a brick through my
daughter's window.

00:14:53.397 --> 00:14:55.441
Oh, and I think
you're the kid

00:14:55.482 --> 00:14:57.943
who ruined her party
and humiliated her
in a public toilet.

00:14:57.985 --> 00:14:58.986
How am I doing?

00:15:00.195 --> 00:15:01.363
Now, if you don't mind...

00:15:01.447 --> 00:15:03.449
It's okay, Dad.

00:15:06.493 --> 00:15:07.703
How's it going?

00:15:07.786 --> 00:15:08.704
Oh, great.

00:15:08.787 --> 00:15:10.039
The party's a blast.

00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:11.624
Can't you hear it
in there?

00:15:13.083 --> 00:15:14.710
What are you doing here,
Malcolm?

00:15:14.752 --> 00:15:16.295
You won't talk
to me at school

00:15:16.378 --> 00:15:17.880
and you won't
return my calls.

00:15:17.880 --> 00:15:19.924
I just want to say
again that I'm sorry.

00:15:19.965 --> 00:15:21.133
Fine.

00:15:21.216 --> 00:15:22.635
You want to alleviate
your guilt?

00:15:22.718 --> 00:15:24.637
You are absolved.

00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:25.596
Just let me finish.

00:15:26.972 --> 00:15:28.724
I'm not sorry that
I told you the truth.

00:15:28.766 --> 00:15:30.267
You were just
setting yourself up

00:15:30.309 --> 00:15:31.560
for a big disaster tonight

00:15:31.602 --> 00:15:33.145
if you went ahead
with your party.

00:15:33.228 --> 00:15:36.273
I just wish I was
nicer about it.

00:15:36.315 --> 00:15:37.650
What's the nice way
to tell someone

00:15:37.733 --> 00:15:39.652
they're a social retard?

00:15:39.735 --> 00:15:40.945
So you see my problem.

00:15:40.986 --> 00:15:42.446
But what I didn't say

00:15:42.488 --> 00:15:44.323
is that even if
you are a dork,

00:15:44.406 --> 00:15:45.658
you're also
smart and funny

00:15:45.741 --> 00:15:46.784
and interesting and kind

00:15:46.825 --> 00:15:48.035
and a totally
unique person,

00:15:48.077 --> 00:15:49.495
and if other people
can't see that,

00:15:49.536 --> 00:15:50.537
that's  their  problem.

00:15:53.248 --> 00:15:56.377
So, how'd you learn
to deal with the whole school

00:15:56.418 --> 00:15:57.753
making fun of you?

00:15:57.836 --> 00:15:59.421
The same way I deal
with everything:

00:15:59.421 --> 00:16:00.839
I pretend it
doesn't bother me

00:16:00.881 --> 00:16:02.383
and then lash
out on people

00:16:02.424 --> 00:16:03.759
who don't deserve it.

00:16:03.842 --> 00:16:04.760
It seems to work.

00:16:04.843 --> 00:16:06.220
Do you want to come in?

00:16:11.392 --> 00:16:13.102
I think he's actually
going to win.

00:16:13.185 --> 00:16:15.354
I just hope we get
to taste whatever
it is he's cooking.

00:16:23.612 --> 00:16:26.699
Reese, this is
the best spinach quiche
I've ever tasted.

00:16:26.740 --> 00:16:28.575
What gives it
that extra something?

00:16:28.617 --> 00:16:31.120
I put some allspice
on the pine nuts before
I toasted them.

00:16:31.161 --> 00:16:32.079
Allspice.
Yeah,

00:16:32.121 --> 00:16:34.707
it just seemed like it would
balance out the ricotta.

00:16:34.707 --> 00:16:36.208
How extraordinary.

00:16:42.715 --> 00:16:45.217
How much salt
did you use?

00:16:45.300 --> 00:16:46.510
Just a pinch.

00:16:49.013 --> 00:16:51.557
I did not put all
of this salt in there.

00:16:52.725 --> 00:16:54.309
Where do you keep
your first aid kit?

00:16:54.351 --> 00:16:57.187
My husband's tongue
is swelling up like a melon.

00:16:57.229 --> 00:16:58.355
I need a bathroom!

00:17:13.495 --> 00:17:14.788
Dewey, go to your room.

00:17:14.788 --> 00:17:15.956
But Reese

00:17:15.956 --> 00:17:17.875
is the one who poisoned
all those people.

00:17:17.958 --> 00:17:19.501
Now!

00:17:19.543 --> 00:17:21.170
What is wrong with you guys?

00:17:21.211 --> 00:17:23.088
You didn't even let me
accept my trophy.

00:17:23.130 --> 00:17:25.090
Oh, I'll give you
a trophy, mister.

00:17:25.132 --> 00:17:27.092
Honey, the whole cooking
thing was my idea.

00:17:27.134 --> 00:17:28.093
I'll handle this.

00:17:28.135 --> 00:17:29.720
Reese, we pulled you
out of class

00:17:29.762 --> 00:17:31.096
because we know
you cheated.

00:17:31.138 --> 00:17:32.473
Now, you would
have won easily.

00:17:32.473 --> 00:17:33.599
Why did you do it?

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:34.641
I don't know.

00:17:34.641 --> 00:17:35.809
It was fun.

00:17:35.893 --> 00:17:37.478
Those people worked
very hard on their dishes,

00:17:37.561 --> 00:17:38.645
and you destroyed them.

00:17:38.729 --> 00:17:39.897
How would you feel

00:17:39.938 --> 00:17:42.316
if you were that poor woman
whose quiche you salted?

00:17:43.650 --> 00:17:44.443
Fat?

00:17:46.987 --> 00:17:48.155
Reese...

00:17:48.238 --> 00:17:49.990
do you know what empathy is?

00:17:50.074 --> 00:17:51.658
No.

00:17:51.658 --> 00:17:54.620
Empathy is putting yourself
into other people's shoes

00:17:54.661 --> 00:17:56.497
so you can feel
the way they do.

00:17:56.497 --> 00:17:59.458
If you hurt someone, empathy
makes you hurt as well.

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:02.836
Then, why would you want
empathy?

00:18:06.423 --> 00:18:09.843
He has no more sense
of right and wrong
than a tree frog.

00:18:09.885 --> 00:18:11.345
What are we going to do?

00:18:11.345 --> 00:18:12.179
What can we do?

00:18:12.221 --> 00:18:13.931
It's back to punishment.

00:18:14.014 --> 00:18:16.391
How can we punish him if
he doesn't care about...?

00:18:18.560 --> 00:18:21.188
All right, son, here's
what's going to happen.

00:18:21.230 --> 00:18:24.691
For the next month,
you are not allowed
to cook a meal.

00:18:24.691 --> 00:18:25.859
That's it?

00:18:27.027 --> 00:18:30.030
So I don't cook, big deal.

00:18:30.030 --> 00:18:33.951
That means no chicken cordon
bleu, no Windsor tortes.

00:18:34.034 --> 00:18:34.952
Wait a second.

00:18:35.035 --> 00:18:36.203
You said no cooking.

00:18:36.245 --> 00:18:37.579
The torte is baking.

00:18:37.621 --> 00:18:40.124
No baking, no broiling,
no sautéing.

00:18:40.165 --> 00:18:41.500
Come on, you can't do that.

00:18:41.542 --> 00:18:43.085
You heard your father.

00:18:43.127 --> 00:18:45.587
The stove and all the whisks
are off limits for a month.

00:18:45.629 --> 00:18:47.172
Oh, please, I'll be good.
I promise.

00:18:47.214 --> 00:18:48.465
I'll do whatever you say.

00:18:48.507 --> 00:18:49.466
I'm sorry, son.

00:18:49.508 --> 00:18:51.385
This is the way
it has to be.

00:18:57.349 --> 00:18:58.308
It worked.

00:18:58.350 --> 00:19:00.894
I think we really turned
a corner with him.

00:19:00.936 --> 00:19:01.937
We have a weapon.

00:19:01.979 --> 00:19:04.106
His actions will have
consequences.

00:19:04.148 --> 00:19:04.982
I know.

00:19:05.023 --> 00:19:05.983
We can hurt him.
