Only you can control your imagination.

That's a scary thought.

That's weird.

Oh, my God.

Clear.

- I saw a burglar!

- Are you by yourself?

My mom had to leave.

I have the chickenpox.

Can I have your address?

He's not at my house!

He's at the Stephans'!

Their address is

Nothing.

Burglar at the Stephans'!

I saw him with my telescope!

There's a woman with a dog

and a gray van!

I didn't recognize anyone, but

the dog looked like Johnny Allen's...

...so I called the police.

You called the police?

Freeze!

The burglar alarm was on and working.

There was no one in the house.

Doesn't appear that

anything's been taken.

I don't know what he saw

but it wasn't a person.

I'm sorry about this.

My son's been home with chickenpox

and I had to run to work.

I'm strapped.

I don't normally do this.

Son, false alarms are

no joking matter.

It wasn't!

The guy in the house had two lookouts

and a driver in a gray van.

He's been running a fever.

Ours is a serious business.

Oh, he knows. We gave him

a police set for Christmas...

Not this one, but last. You know,

one with a badge, a hat and a whistle.

He took it very seriously. He

arrested relatives for various crimes.

Not real crimes, but for leaving

the toilet seat up and snoring and...

Absolutely.

I will, yes. Thank you.

Thank you.

You get in that bed.

Excuse me, I saw a man

in Karen Stephans' bedroom.

A white male a little older than Dad,

wearing butt inspection gloves.

I warned you about that telescope.

Look long enough and you'll see

things, whether or not they're there.

I guess you have to be 35

before anyone listens to you.

Don't get smart with me.

Sick or not, I'm very angry with you.

You caused a lot of trouble today.

We have to replace a door.

You think we're happy about it?

I saw what I saw.

Peter Beaupre...

...Earl Unger...

...Burton Jernigan...

...and Alice Rivens.

They were ticketed under aliases

but didn't board the Hong Kong flight.

I believe they're still in the U.S.,

but beyond that, I don't know.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...we've got to find that chip.

What went wrong

with the burglar alarm?

- Nothing. It wasn't the alarm.

- Then who called the police?

Mr. Jernigan, care to speculate?

Cars came and went.

The mailman came by.

We could have a watcher on any house.

It could be anybody.

I don't think it's just anybody.

I think it's someone on our street.

Someone we are not tracking.

Someone we've missed.

Dad, cab's here.

Oh, shoot.

Mom's not back yet.

Well, all right.

Mom took some documents to the bank.

She can't be gone

more than a few minutes.

Mrs. Hess is home. You'll be fine.

My beeper's on speed dial.

- Second button. Mom's is the first.

- Right.

- So, you're okay?

- Positively.

Give me a kiss.

Dad.

This is a safe neighborhood.

We have great police,

as you learned yesterday.

Nothing bad will happen to you.

- Dad?

- Yeah?

- Got your tickets?

- Yep.

- Got your wallet?

- It's in my pocket.

Where's your pocket?

Yeah.

- Thank you.

- Bye, Dad.

She's leaving.

Red sedan heading south.

Turning right. Hold.

- You are just in time, Mr. Pruitt.

- Wait, wait.

Oh, no.

Yes.

Abort. Abort.

Evacuate the area.

Let's go!

Move! Move!

Cool!

Check the back.

Nothing.

Let's check upstairs.

Where's the burglar?

There is no burglar.

Just a kid home sick from school,

making false alarms.

How embarrassing.

This is the second time in two days

that you've called the police.

It's a very serious matter

when a person calls the police.

I saw a burglar yesterday,

and I saw one today.

Alex, listen to the chief.

- There was no one in that house.

- What about Johnny Allen's dog?

I talked to Johnny last night.

His dog was kidnapped Monday morning.

Did he see it happen?

Alex, apologize to the chief

and go up to your room.

Excuse me for being a good citizen.

Alex! I'm very sorry.

This will not happen again.

Will it, honey?

Really, I promise you.

We wouldn't want to discourage him

from calling us...

...in the event that

something real ever does happen.

Loser.

- Shut up.

- Make me.

You pranked them twice.

It's on your permanent record.

For your whole life,

if you call for help, it won't come.

- Dad missed his plane.

- He was late to meet his boss.

We have to give family cash

to the Stephans...

...and to an evil octogenarian

to repair their doors.

And even worse...

The world laughs.

You've stained the family name.

First the Stephans.

Then Mrs. Hess.

I agree, Doris.

The next stop is the Alcotts' house.

What burglar goes into a house

and doesn't take anything?

You know what I think?

They're looking for something special.

And they're looking in every house

because they don't know who has it.

The question is...

...what is it?

If nobody's gonna

do anything about this...

...I'll just have to do it myself.

I am so sorry.

I'm clearly not awake.

It's all right.

Have a nice day.

I'll try.

Watch this.

Look, Doris.

I forgot about the stairs.

Got him, Doris. Got him.

Yes, yes, yes!

You are so busted.

I have it.

The toy car. It's videotaping me.

Come back on that.

Come on! Go! Go! Go!

Don't spin!

You there!

You was friendly.

I don't have to kill you.

You got money that

doesn't belong to you.

Hello, this is Karen.

Hi, how's it going?

I'm running late

for the office again.

I think blue chips

are overvalued.

Technology stocks are good.

I'm in the shower.

Can I call you back?

Bad, bad Leroy Brown

Baddest cat in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong

Meaner than a junkyard dog

Come on, come on.

See you!

The car's outside.

I got the woman here. Get over here!

Come on, get up!

Everybody's in a hurry.

It's a camera.

Someone's onto us.

Think it matters? Chip's in the car.

We're at the airport in 45 minutes.

Where is Alice?

What happened?

There is a woman in the house.

I'll deal with her.

Get the chip.

I got it.

Ma'am?

May I have a word with you?

Don't come in. I'm naked.

What's on your mind, monkey butt?

Come on.

What's that funky smell?

I lost it.

What?!

Come on, go, go, go!

It's out of range!

I got it.

I see it.

Look out.

Jernigan, which direction?

It got past me.

It's heading south on Adams.

I'm right behind the little...

It's off the street,

going through back yards...

...heading west.

Alice, what's your position?

Fourth house. Moving to the alley.

It's going through the hedge.

Jernigan, position.

You're there.

- I got it!

- I got it!

Unger. What's your position?

Heading down Washington Street.

I didn't copy. Where?

I said, I'm heading to Wa...

Stop, you nitwit!

I don't see anything.

I'll look around.

I don't have it yet.

We're out of time. Give it up.

They got the tape.

Why'd they still chase the toy car?

It's not that expensive.

I'm sure they don't have

enough time to play with it.

Look, Doris.

Computer chip, huh?

Where'd you find it?

In a remote-control car I got

for shoveling snow for Mrs. Hess.
