[Horns honking]

And I'm tired of making | poached eggs every morning.

Let's stop | kidding ourselves, Flynch.

We might as well give up.

What?

I can't believe | what I just heard, Adam.

You give up?

You've been my inspiration.

What--what about having | a positive attitude?

What about never walking away | from a challenge?

Unh! Come on, | this is getting us nowhere.

Flynch, what are you doing?

[Horn honking]

Flynch!

[Tires screech]

[Radio playing]

[Giggling]

-Where you going? | -Miniature Golf World.

Sorry, we're not | going that way.

Don't worry. You'll love it.

-Whatever! | -Really!

[Girls laughing]

Over here!

"Play a round of golf.

"Somewhere you will | find the clue.

"No cheating. | You must play the entire round.

"Do not go directly | to the 18th hole."

Come on! | Let's go to the 18th hole!

You moron! | Can't you follow instructions?

Yeah.

Listen, you want to win, | don't you?

Now, come on!

Oh, well, guys, | we played a good game.

Even if we never did | find that clue.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

I'm gonna be sick!

Get him off of me!

I think I'm gonna be sick!

[Tires squealing]

[Yelling]

Hey! Look who's here!

[Giggling]

Thank you, ladies.

-Sure! | -Bye.

-Bye! | -Bye-bye!

Like you said, | when it comes to women...

you have to have confidence.

[Sighs] Come on.

Give me some room!

Told you so.

Read it out loud.

[Laughing]

"Dear team. | I told you not to cheat.

"Now, if you want | to f-find the clue...

"you have to go back | and start all over.

"Love, Leon.

"P.S. You lost your ball."

-Get out of my way! | -Ha ha ha ha!

[Horn beeps]

Adam!

I--I thought | we'd never get here.

[Whispering] | Confidence.

I'm glad you did.

Leon says we have to play | a round of golf.

Don't forget. You have | to pay again, honeybuns.

Hey, Harold. Look over there.

Come on, Adam. You got it.

Good. Come on!

[Laughing]

[Children arguing]

Oh, great!

Hey!

Oh, Adam. | I've played this hole before.

There's three tunnels | up on the top.

Now, you don't want | to put it in the left one...

because the ball will | come out on the side.

If you put it down | the right one...

it goes down | this curved thing and--

Scott, will you | please be quiet?

I'm trying to concentrate.

[People arguing]

Hey!

Scott! Why do you persist | in making my life miserable?

Will you please | just stay out of my way?

Fore! Hoo hoo hoo!

Out of my way. Poindexter. | We're playing through.

All right, let's do it now.

Let's go!

[Yelling]

You got it! Ha ha ha!

-Come on, man! | -You got it now!

Blaylak! | That ball's in our way.

I'll get rid of it.

Hey, wait just a minute!

I object! | Is this the only way...

you slabs of meat | know how to handle anything?

Can't you guys | ever act civilized...

and work things out | on an intellectual level?

[Chuckling]

Hey, you know, fellas. | Wesley's absolutely right.

Yeah.

I mean, we should be | ashamed of ourselves.

[Snickers]

[Laughs]

Sir, may I have the floor?

[Chuckling]

The chair recognizes Armpit.

I move that we refer this matter | to another committee.

-Ha ha ha! | -All in favor?

-Aye! | -Aye!

Yee-haw!

-Ha ha ha! | -Mwah!

Aw, those guys!

[Yelling and whining]

Where the hell is that clue?

God, I wish there was | some way we could win!

-Hey! | -What?

You're two under par.

If you keep this up. | you get a free game.

You idiot.

[Cheering]

Come on, Lavitus! Send it down!

-Yeah! | -Whoo!

[Rattling]

Look at that!

-Wow! | -Yeah!

All right!

[Fanfare plays]

Got it!

-Yeah! | -Yeah!

[Cheering and yelling]

ALL:
Whoa!

All right!

[Tires squeal]

MARVIN:
What is it with Leon | and musical instruments?

First it's pianos | and now xylophones.

"Look at xylophones initially."

[Horn honks]

[Gasps] That's it!

What?

The secret to this clue | is the word "initially."

You have to look at the initials | of the words.

L.A.X.-- | that's the abbreviation...

for the L.A. | International Airport.

-Come on, Marvin. Let's go. | -But what about 5:30 A.M.?

We'll figure it out on the way!

[Engine sputtering]

MARVIN:
We're out of gas!

[Laughing and honking]

Hey, you guys, | stop following us!

That's not fair!

Aw, shove it, you big ape!

OK, guys, we gotta figure out | the rest of this clue.

Now, what's 5:

Yeah?

It's about your brother.

Adam, he's not such a bad kid | once you get to know him.

Scott? You haven't been | living with him...

for fifteen years | like I have.

All he ever does | is cause trouble...
