Babysitters Beware Page #3

---

he's just a little--

Are you sure?

He'll be fine

and Danny will be fine.

Danny. Danny.

We really need you to be

part of the team here, buddy.

If you can't behave

for this sitter,

then no one's

gonna sit for you,

and I don't know

what we'll do.

Okay, sweetie? Do you understand

why that's so important?

So if I scare off

this sitter,

then no one will ever

sit for me again?

That's right, sweetie.

See? Now you understand

why this is so important.

Got it.

Okay, well,

that's good, honey,

'cause he's on his way.

Mr. Santiago,

thank you so much

for sitting for us

on such short notice.

That's why we're here,

to keep the kids safe.

(Animal growling)

This is Danny.

Say hello, sweetheart.

I've heard about you.

I'll bet you have.

Okay, you two have fun.

You have our number

in case you need to call.

Ah, we won't need to call,

we'll be having too much fun.

Right, kid?

(Grunting)

Right.

That's a nice jacket.

You bet it is, kid.

Don't even think

about touching it.

Why?

(Animal growling)

Because if anything happened to

it, you wouldn't be too happy.

Why?

Because I'd make sure

of it.

Why?

Oh, so that's

how it's gonna be, huh?

You think

you're the first kid

to play

the "Why?" game on me?

Why?

Yeah, you've gotta

do better than that, kid.

"Have to do better

than that, kid."

Oh, so now you're just

gonna mimic everything I say?

"Oh, so now you're just

gonna mimic everything I say?"

That's not gonna work.

"That's not gonna work."

(Animal growling)

Why?

(Laughing)

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why? Why?

Why?

Why?

How's that work

for you, kid?

Uh, not so good.

You know,

I'd heard of you too, kid.

Really,

I was expecting worse.

Why?

(Laughing)

Look at me, kid.

You think

I'm the first guy people call

to nurture their little angels

while they're gone?

That's right.

I'm the last one they call.

They bring me in for the brats

no one else will touch.

Well, you drove

everyone off.

They won't have

nothing to do with you.

So get used

to having me around,

because no

snot-nosed little turd

is going to stand between me

and thirty bucks an hour.

Plus tips.

So I'll be

your babysitter now.

(Chuckling)

Going somewhere, kid?

Uh, I'm hungry?

I need

to go to the bathroom.

You can't just lock me

in my room the whole time!

Why?

I'll tell my parents.

All your parents care about

is that you're alive

and the house is still here

when they get home.

You've been

a bad little boy, Danny.

You think they're gonna mind if

I had to send you to your room?

(Laughing)

Help!

I'm being kidnapped.

(Motor revving)

Child abuse!

Amber alert!

(Loudly revving)

Going somewhere,

buddy?

(Rattling)

(Glass breaking)

Hey, what's that sound, kid?

What sound?

(Glass breaking)

That sound.

Oh, that?

That's just paint.

(Breaking)

From my model airplanes.

Paint don't make

that sound.

It does when you

drop it out the window

on to a motorcycle.

What?!

(Breaking)

It makes a real pretty pattern

on your motorcycle.

Let me in, kid.

Especially the pink.

(Breaking)

(Yelling)

(Yelling)

Oh, no!

Rats!

Nobody touches my bike!

You got two seconds

to open this door, kid.

Why?

You wrecked

my motorcycle, kid.

That paint

will never come off.

Call my parents

and tell them

that you'll never

sit for me again.

I'm not gonna let

no little kid beat me.

You wouldn't!

It'll match

your motorcycle.

Are you gonna call?

Or are you having

too much fun?

Parker,

party of four?

Yes. Thank goodness.

It's been an hour.

Yes, we're very busy tonight.

Isn't it wonderful?

(Phone ringing)

Oh, excuse me,

just a second.

Mr. Santiago.

Right now?

Where's Danny?

Your little

demon child's inside.

Now, give me my money!

I'll bill you

for my bike later.

Daniel James Parker,

I know you're awake.

Jim.

Oh, hi,

Dad and Mom.

Did the babysitter

leave already?

Cut the innocent act.

I know all about it.

We were having fun.

No, you were having fun.

I thought you were

gonna help us out, Danny.

The team, remember?

Why are we only a team when

you want me to do something

and not when I want to?

Danny, you used to be

such a good boy,

and now all you do

is drive away your babysitters.

What happened?

Does that mean no one

will baby-sit for me anymore?

No, it means

you made me miss

a very important meeting

tonight, son.

Sorry.

No, you will be sorry.

Marco's birthday

is tomorrow, right?

After school.

Yeah, you looking

forward to that?

Yeah.

Well, you won't be there.

You made me miss something

important to me tonight,

now I'm gonna make you miss

something important to you.

I wish

I was important to you.

I'm starving.

We didn't even get an appetiser.

Did you have to take away

Marco's party?

Okay, let's let him

go to Marco's party.

In fact,

why don't we get him a pony

and a trip to the waterslides

while we're at it.

Jim.

Why is he acting up, Wendy?

I mean,

he's got a great house,

he's got all the toys

in the world.

He wants

to spend time with you.

How long

is this phase gonna last?

Until he stops

wanting to spend time with you.

Which,

the way children are,

is probably

not that far from now,

so you ought to

spend some time with him,

while he still

lets you hang around.

I want to, but then he goes

and does something like this.

Now I'm gonna have to work

twice as hard to make up for it.

He's only

making it harder.

I know,

but Marco's birthday?

He's been looking

forward to that for a year.

Do you really want to reward him

for his bad behaviour?

No, I don't.

But he's gonna be crushed, and

I don't even wanna think about

how Marco's

gonna take the news.

You can't come

to my birthday party?!

I'm grounded.

It's today!

Isn't there a rule

that you can't back out

on someone's birthday?

I know,

but I'm grounded.

But I did get rid

of The Guard.

It was really tough.

First I tried

to get him with a--

What's wrong?

It's not like there were gonna

be that many kids there anyway.

Wait till I tell you

about The Guard's motorcycle.

Who cares how

you got rid of The Guard?

You're supposed to be coming

to my birthday party, Danny!

I want to.

You don't really.

You just care about

getting on the stupid list.

You told me

about the list.

That was back

when we were friends.

We're best friends.

Danny, a best friend

is supposed to

come to

your birthday party.

If you're not

gonna be there,

I guess that means

we aren't best friends anymore.

My mom even made

volcano cake!

Okay, great.

I'll talk to you later.

Do you want

more milk, honey?

Aren't you hungry?

You feeling okay?

No.

I know that you're missing

your best friend's birthday.

He's not

my best friend anymore.

I'm pretty sure that Marco

is still your best friend.

Bad behaviour

has consequences, Danny.

And learning that is

one of the most important parts
