Nothing. It's just a little hair dye.

Just a little bit of hair dye?

Just a little tattoo.

What is wrong with you?

Why are you being so irresponsible?

I'm not irresponsible.

You're just making everything worse.

Now go sit with the other kids

so I can figure out what to do.

Okay, you wanted to teach me a lesson,

and I get it.

I'm sorry. Can I go now?

I'm not entirely convinced

you do get it, young lady.

You have more than a few

violations on your record.

Parking tickets, not bank robberies.

This girl giving you trouble, officer?

Next time, keep the fighting in the rink

and not the parking lot.

- They started it.

- Yeah, and we're gonna finish it.

Enough already!

You three, over there.

The other three, there.

All right. Thank you.

It's Jailer Swift.

It's you.

- You're my hero.

- Yeah?

I've been trying to learn

the Swift Trip Chop for six months.

Let's see what you got.

Not bad, kid, not bad.

But you need some more torque

on that back spin.

Like so.

Congratulations, Helen.

- Hey. How are you?

- Hi.

- I'm so proud of her.

- I know.

Mom, help!

Jenny stole the Andersons' new car,

and got us all arrested.

We're downtown in the city...

You were right. Except for

the parking tickets, you're clean.

See, I told you. I'm not a felon.

I'm just an innocent babysitter.

And what kind of example

do you think you're setting

for those kids up there?

- You think it's one big joke?

- No.

Trying to sell concert tickets

may not be a felony, but it's dangerous.

Some thug could've snatched

those tickets and your wallet.

Then what?

I don't know.

I guess I didn't really think of that.

No, you didn't.

Look, you're a smart girl.

But you need to start

thinking about your actions.

Those kids up there,

they look up to you.

They wanna be you.

They don't even know me.

I'm not even their real babysitter.

I lied to get the job,

and I lied to you earlier.

Officer, I'm not a Furry Lisa-loving

college student.

I never even heard of

Furry Lisa before today.

Fur Elise. Beethoven.

- Right.

- Doesn't matter.

The truth is,

I wanted to go to art school,

but my grades

weren't good enough to get in,

so I didn't even try.

And now I'm up for this amazing

photography internship

with my idol,

and if I get it, then I'll have

another chance to make things right.

I really am an artist,

and I really am a good photographer.

And I'm really sorry I lied to you,

but you're kinda sorta super cute,

and I know I always make mistakes,

and I know this was a big mistake,

but I just...

I don't think I belong in jail.

Neither do I.

You don't?

No.

Oh, thank you. Sorry.

So do you need any help

getting those kids home?

- Can I call their parents...

- No! No, we're good.

- But thank you.

- Okay.

- Let's see if your friends are up here.

- Yeah.

- Oh, there they are.

- Lola!

You're okay!

Hi, Katy. Hi, cutie.

- Lola!

- Hi. You guys came.

Say cheese.

- Stop pushing me.

- You're blocking my face!

I'll block your face with my foot.

Come on now.

You guys, get out of here now. Go, go!

We gotta get that camera.

We'll get it. No matter what.

Look at that.

That's the little one,

she's got the camera.

Get her. Go, go, go.

Come on, guys.

Lola, are you okay? Was it scary?

- Did they hurt you?

- No, I'm totally fine.

- Fine? You just got arrested.

- It's fine, Jenny.

Relax. It's not a big deal.

This has gone way beyond

sneaking out to a concert.

You guys, I'm sorry,

- but we have to call your parents.

- No!

You're just gonna give up,

just like that?

It's called being responsible.

You should try it sometime.

And you should try loosening up.

Be in the moment.

Hey, little girl. Come here.

- Give me that camera.

- You wish!

It worked!

Hey, hey!

Guys!

Get her!

Uh, hey, you guys-

- What, Bobby?

- What, Bobby?

- Uh, AJ...

- Oh, no, AJ.

Bad guys!

'Help Police!

"Help!

AJ.

That's their car.

Keys. Let's take their car.

- No, no, that's stealing.

- It's not stealing, it's borrowing.

Babysitting rule number two.

Leave no child behind.

Or ahead, right? Yeah.

I can't believe that

you dragged me out of a party

for one of Emily's pranks.

Police don't arrest children.

You heard the message.

She sounded terrified.

Taxi!

You know, I'm sure they're just at home,

absolutely fine, in front of the TV,

watching some ridiculous car chase.

Hang on, AJ, we'll save you.

Kids, this is not how

a responsible babysitter behaves.

Excuse me! Sorry!

Hey, lady, look out!

Out of the way!

- There he is.

- There's the big guy.

- Get away from my sister.

- Yeah!

Hey, hey. That's my car!

- That's my car!

- Faster, Lola, faster!

- Look! There she is.

- Get out of the way!

God. You can do this. Come on.

Look out! Look out!

Wow, that was close.

Hey! That's our car!

Stupid ferret.

You can do it, Tiny.

Think of the money.

Think of the money.

Professor Helen Anderson.

And thank you so... Oh.

Okay. Oops.

My phone called the Andersons.

Hands free, hands free. Just give it...

Uh, sorry. Babysitter.

Hello. Hello?

- Helen.

- Helen?

Lola, is everything okay?

Oh, totes. Just checking in.

You're checking in with me?

I've never heard of that before.

Uh, babysitter bonus.

It's part of the premium package.

Uh, okay, have fun. Bye.

Bye. Thank you.

Everything is fine.

Everything is fine.

And I'm fine.

Actually, I am... I am more than fine.

Are you gonna explain to Helen

why her best friends

missed her speech?

Whoa! Did you see that?

What kind of parent lets their kid

roller skate in the city after dark?

- That's unbelievable.

- The things you see in this city.

There she is, there she is.

Look out!

Oh, my gosh, she's headed

for the picnic tables.

AJ!

Pick up your food! Coming through!

Sorry!

- Yes!

- Nice, AJ.

- Ooh!

- That's gotta hurt.

There she is, there she is.

AJ, are you okay?

AJ, please tell me you're okay.

Everything's good.

No scratches. Awesome.

Move, move!

You okay?

Okay, guys, not okay.

- Not okay.

- Not good.

Down here. Let's go!

In here.

Lock the door!

Front door. I know a guy.

Now put your hands up

Now wave them side to side

I got all my people with me

And we ready to ride

'Bout to blow the roof

By the end of the night

Lighting up the sky like it's 4th of July

Yeah, you gotta light...

- Hurry before they catch up.

- Is my camera okay?

Really? You're worried

about your stupid camera?

It's not stupid.

I won this camera

in my first photography contest.

This camera is proof I have talent.

Whatever. Come on. Let's just go

before they come back, all right?

Whoa!

Yo!

Sorry. Wrong place. Bye.

Oh, no, no, no. Stop in your tracks.

'Cause we ain't goin' nowhere

till we get the facts.

- Excuse me'?

- You heard me.

Step on my stage,

you gotta spill your rage.

My rage? No, we're fine.

There's nothing to rage about.

Come on, kids.

Uh-uh-uh.

- Y'all know how we do.

- Yeah!

- It's double true.

- What'?

'Cause if it's your first time...
