I mean, he might be up|pretty late with this woman.

[Chuckles]|Lucky dog.

Later, toads.

- [Groaning]|- Thank you. That's enough.

- Oh!|- Sorry.

I can't believe Mr Macintosh went|to all this trouble.

- This place is great.|- Mr Macintosh has been|eating here for years.

Oh.

[Gargling]

Compliments of the chef|for Mr Waters...

Th-They look|like lobsters,

only weenie.

Oh.

Mr Macintosh wanted you|to have this too.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, wow.

This is beautiful. Oh.

But I can't|accept this from you.

But it's from Mr Macintosh.

- Why?|- Just a little business gift.

I mean, it's deductible,|isn't it?

I'm not really sure,|but it's way too expensive.

Mr Macintosh has|a million dollars.

A million dollars doesn't buy|all that much these days.

Do you think he should have|asked for more?

What exactly|does he do anyway?

Oh, a little of this,|a little of that.

- You know.|- No, I'm afraid I don't.

- Oh, well...|- Is he an entrepreneur?

No, he's American.|Very secretive.

He has some questions|for you too.

Okay.|Shoot.

- "Are you married?"|- No.

"What's the shortest guy|you ever dated?"

Mmm. I'm not really sure.

- "The youngest?"|- You know,

these are pretty|personal questions.

Well, Mr Macintosh|is very interested in you.

- He is?|- He's, uh, never met|anybody like you before.

He's never met me before,|period.

Technically no, but he's been thinking|a lot about you lately.

- He has?|- Yep. Whoa!

Preston!|Are you okay?

- [Screaming]|- [Gasps]

Do you like hamburgers?

I love hamburgers.

Never saw this kid|before in my life.

This is a waste of time.|Come on.

What's so special|about this place?

- You'll see.|- Mmm, come on. Tell me.

- Okay.|- You gonna tell me?

- Come with me.|- All right.

- Where are you taking me?|- You'll see.

- See what?|- Okay, get in the middle.

- Okay, ready? Five, four, three,|- Here?

Two, one.

[Shay Laughing]|Holy smokes!

Okay! Okay, now,|come here, Shay!

- Okay, okay, now!|- Preston, I don't believe this!

Okay, now,|let's run around!

- Don't get wet!|- Get us out!

Run!|[Screams]

- Okay, okay, okay!|- Watch out!

- No, we're gonna get soaked!|- No, no, no. Now come...

Come around here!|Come around here! Come on!

- Okay, hold onto me.|- [Screaming] Hey, where are you?

[Screaming]|Yeah! Yes!

- Whoo, yeah!|- Preston!

[Clapping, Cheering]

This is a great idea, Biderman.|Where's all the kids, huh?

Carl, it's late at night.

All the little boys and girls|are tucked in bed. What do you expect?

What I expect is when I give|someone a million dollars,|and I come back a day later,

I find the million dollars.|That's what I expect.

- Carl, I'm not a magician.|- You can make it disappear,

- you just can't get it back, right?|- I'm telling you...

If y'all want a kid so bad,|there go one over there.

[Biderman]|That's the little boy from the bank!

Shh.

Shh.

- [Preston Screams]|- Go get him!

- Oh, I'll race ya to the limo!|I'll race ya to the limo!|- What? Okay, I'll race ya!

[Shouting]

[Screaming]

- I got the door for ya!|- Open the door. It's freezing!

Go, Henry!|Go, Henry, go!

- [Henry] Here we go!|- [Groaning]

He got away again! I don't|believe this! He got away again!

[Screaming]

[Shay]|This was the most fun.

- I haven't done anything like|this since I was a little kid.|- Me neither.

Thank you so much.

When can I see you again?

Well, I really have to spend|some time with my job right now.

Well, uh,|I'm having a party.

On Friday.

Can you come?

It's for Mr Macintosh.

Um, it could be|for your business, sort of.

Macintosh and I are having|the biggest birthday party ever.

- Honey, where's Preston?|- He's working for Macintosh.

Oh. Where's|Damien and Ralph?

They're working|for Macintosh too.

Oh.

- Have you met Macintosh?|- No, I thought you met him.

- No, I haven't met him.|- Well, I haven't met him either.

[Machine Humming]

Keep 'em comin'. Mr Macintosh wants me|to get plenty of practise.

[Screams]|Watch where you're hittin' those!

Quit messin' around.|Macintosh is watching.

Where? We've still|never seen him.

Just get back to work.|He's watching.

- " [Loud Rock]|- [Man]... coming out of the garage.

Ruining the neighbourhood.

"[Continues]

Your party planner's|here again.

[Woman]|Piston! Piston! Piston!

Turn off this contraption.|I have wonderful news.

Mr Macintosh's birthday is going|to be the event of the century.

We gonna make|the front page from coast to coast.

Oh, we are so lucky,|lucky, lucky!

Now what kind of food|does Mr Macintosh like?

- I don't know.|- And who are his friends?

- Do you have a guest list?|- Uh, I don't think so.

[Grunting, Laughing] It's attack|of the 50-foot chauffeur from hell!

I was just wondering if you|wanted to play some video games.

Oh, man, I wish you'd|have said something.

I can't. I promised some friends|I was gonna meet 'em in a while.

Oh, okay.|No problem.

I'll tell you what. I'll drop you over|at one of your friend's place...

on the way over, and you|can have some fun there.

Nah. Maybe I'll go to the park.

All right. It's up to you.|Hey, Preston,
