- How about a toast?
- To what?
How about to a night
all alone, without our kids.
Sorry, John.
- Ned, do you play that thing?
- No.
Come on, Ned, one song.
I'm sorry I made fun of you,
really, honey.
Come on. You play, I'll hula.
- How do you know how to do a hula?
- I learned it on our honeymoon.
Go, girl.
Hey, handsome.
Come on, dance with me.
Come on, Ned. Dance with me, please?
No, I can't.
That's not what I remember.
Come on.
- What about music?
- I'll take care of the music.
- It's a music box.
- Oh, no.
- I don't remember.
- Yes, you do.
Hips.
It's a shame
What people?
The night is young
And so are we
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
In Blue Hawaii
All my dreams will come true
On this night of nights with you
- What are you doing up?
- I couldn't sleep.
Me either.
What's going on?
They're dancing.
Lovely you
And Blue Hawaii
With all this loveliness...
Let's go to bed.
Okay.
Cosmo, go away.
Ladies and gentleman, put your
hands together for the Mr. Tom Jones.
They're playing our song.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. I just finished, actually.
- Go ahead.
- Thanks.
And, Grover.
Remember last night,
when you said that you were invisible?
Yeah.
Well, you're wrong.
you're not invisible.
I fixed up those traps, but I think
we ought to give them a test.
I'll get it.
Hello. Is your mother home?
Yes, but she's sick.
We all are.
She's been waiting for this.
Can you tell her it's from Mr. Doyle?
Okay. Do you work with her at the bank?
No, I'm her lawyer.
Thanks.
- Listen, I just...
- I thought that...
- Go ahead.
- No, go on.
Well, last night, I...
Could I just have your attention
for just a minute, please?
Introducing the new Cindy Figler.
Come on.
From the private basement collection
of Janet Beindorf,
Cindy is wearing
of green sequins
and it's got a green dirndl skirt, as well.
We're ready.
All right, everybody.
Let's get down to business.
Mom? Dad?
- Your turn.
- Are you all right?
Okay, I'm the one asking the questions
right now, all right?
What's the first thing
Honestly?
His car.
- His car?
- It's true.
It was a 1972 Olds Cutlass convertible.
It was dark blue with a V8 engine.
It had no muffler. It was very loud.
and of course, I loved it.
It really was a beauty,
and Ned took great care of it.
Dad? What did you notice about Mom?
That she was the most beautiful girl
I had ever seen.
So, let's cut to the chase.
What went wrong?
It's just like we said.
It's not any big thing.
- It's just a bunch of...
- Little things?
Like you thought you should
get a divorce?
Honey, we've said
we're not getting a divorce.
Mommy and Daddy
just needed some time.
if we separated for just a little while.
I didn't, actually.
I mean, you said you were unhappy,
and I said, "Well, if you're unhappy,
- "then maybe we should get..."
- Ned, you did say so.
No, I wasn't happy, but I didn't say...
Ned, I remember you saying it.
You don't really talk all that much, so I
would remember that you would say it.
Why does everything have to
turn into a fight with you guys?
No wonder you're getting divorced.
Son, again, no one is saying anything
about divorce.
No one is talking about divorce.
Then who sent the divorce papers?
Who turned off the answering machine?
I want to see those papers. Matt!
- Hey, Matt, are you still up there?
- Right here, Mr. Beindorf.
Matt.
for me to see. Now!
- Hello?
- Hi, it's Ralph Doyle.
- What do you want?
- I want to talk to your mother.
- I thought I told you that she's sick.
- Did you give her that...
You mean the divorce papers?
She got them, she was just thrilled.
- What happened to trial separation?
- Just listen to me, please. You never...
- It's getting a little ugly down here, man.
- Can't you tell we're having a party?
Whoopee!
I'm sure she must have
some questions.
Oh, yeah? Well, so do I!
We're supposed to be saving
marriages, not breaking them up.
What happened?
Things just aren't going
exactly the way we planned.
- Ned.
- What?
Come on, I'm sorry.
About what? You purposely
deceiving me? I don't think so.
I went to this lawyer just for advice.
He said anybody who separates,
they usually draw up divorce papers.
He said you were probably doing
the same thing.
Well, I wasn't.
- And if I were, I would've told you.
- Come on, Ned, just talk to me.
Talk to my attorney, Donald.
I'll get you the house.
The kids may be a problem.
Yes! That's it!
- We're through!
- Oh, my God!
Yeah, but who are you going to get
to fit through there?
- They're trying to escape!
- It'll be okay.
Groves is going to be pissed!
He'll be back any second.
Get in there!
Making progress.
I made it!
- I'm stuck!
- Hang in. Hang in, honey, hang in.
- Yes, you can do it!
- Louise.
- Help!
- Be careful!
Help!
Look out for the trip wire!
Don't do that!
Help me, come on!
Matt, Jimmy, Teddy, come here!
You can't push and pull
at the same time!
Grover?
Wait!
Groves, where have you been, man?
Hey, what about me?
Later!
Operator? This is Chief Rocco.
Get me the police.
Grover!
Nothing's wrong, huh?
Well, what about this?
Hello.
This is Officers Davis and Brickowski.
All right, now.
- Don't you worry about anything.
- Something strange is going on here.
Hey! Did you see that?
Hey, Dave! What happened to you?
Did you see that?
How did those kids do that?
Mayday!
You wait right here. Don't go away.
- I'm gonna get help.
- But...
- Chief!
- Chief Rocco!
Help!
Grover, come on, open the door.
Please?
Come on in.
How are you doing?
Bad.
Same here.
- It's over.
- What do you mean?
I mean, we failed.
Our parents aren't going to change
just because we want them to.
What we did was wrong.
Wrong and stupid.
It's time to let them out, guys.
No, wait a minute!
Look, it wasn't stupid at all.
So, maybe we can't fix everything,
you know, but,
who can?
But at least we tried, right?
I don't know if your parents will separate
or divorce or live happily ever after,
but we didn't fail.
I mean, at least they know how we feel.
She's right, Groves.
Who'd have thought we'd all be friends,
you know?
Hey, who says we're friends?
We're more like a family.
You guys, group hug, group hug!
God, I love you all so much!
I love you!
The house is completely surrounded!
Come out with your hands up!
- What's going on?
- Oh, no.
- The cops!
- The cops?
Hey! Mayday!
The house is surrounded.
Come out with your hands up.
Fellas? Excuse me?
Did you hear that? We're free.
- Who is that?
- We're free!
We're free?
We're free!
I can't believe that we're free!
Come on! Let's go.
Gwenna.
I forgive you. Come on.
Come on.
I'm sure that it's not over yet for you.
