Yeah, you too.

I gotta head home and shower.

Somehow, I got roped into...

...chaperoning tonight.

Whatever you do, don't bark...

'cause everyone knows I don't...

...bark, and if you bark and she...

...comes in, she'll know.

All right.

You know, Thomas really isn't...

...a bad boy.

Yeah, I know.

Just do me a favor and keep him...

...in his room... For his own sake.

Trust me, you won't be seeing...

Thomas anytime soon.

Good.

Hello.

Do things ever go as planned?

Yeah, because we're dealing with...

...kids, and inevitably, when...

...you're dealing with kids, things...

...don't go as planned.

Frank? Frank, are you there?

Frank?

We have a situation.

Tom Miller, he knows something.

What is it, boy?

Sit. Stay.

Don't eat me.

Ahh!

Thomas, honey...

I just wanted to say I'm...

...sorry for everything that's been...

...going on lately.

Oh! Ah!

Kip.

What's going on, Claire?

I need your help.

Yeah, I got your message.

Is everything all right with...

Thomas?

Well, Thomas is going through...

...a hard time with us, and he's...

...not dealing with it very well.

He's exaggerating, and his...

...school wants him at home, and I

...think he's somewhere around...

...here and we have to find him.

Look, you think he's ready to...

...talk to me or not?

He's 12! We're his parents!

...and whether or not we're...

...together, we have to do whatever...

...it takes to get him wherever he...

...needs to go.

That's home, okay?

Okay, I got it.

Whoa, Miller's dad's a...

...trash man.

No wonder he makes up stories.

Hoffman.

Jackie!

Listen, someone's gonna try and...

...hurt the President's daughter.

I think I know who it is...

Randall, the new guy.

You've gotta believe me!

Why should I?

You're my best friend, Jackie.

You always tell your best friend...

...the truth.

So why Madison Kramer, huh?

Best friend?

Why are you obsessed with this...

...random girl who you know nothing...

...about?

I kinda like the way she...

...how she talks.

Is that it, Thomas?

Do you like the way I speak?

Jackie!

Do you find me charming...

Thomas?

Do you?

Jackie, stop it!

Look, I have no idea why Madison...

Kramer.

The only thing I can think of...

...is, maybe it is predetermined.

Yeah.

And one more thing...

I just wanna say sorry for every...

...time I've hurt you, and I wanna...

...say sorry in advance for every...

...time I might hurt you.

You plan on hurting me again?

I would never plan on it.

Yeah.

So say this whole President's...

...daughter thing is true...

...what now?

I go to the dance and I save...

...a life.

And what do you want from me?

Jackie, you're the one person...

...in the world that I know always...

...has my back.

The one person who knows...

...you're telling the truth.

Pretty much.

Yeah.

Nice look, Hoffman.

Really?

Yeah.

Thanks.

So how does one go about...

...saving one's life when no one...

...really believes you?

I have no idea.

No weapons, special gadgets...

...secret powers, no ideas...

...this could be quite a challenge.

I like challenges.

Next.

Sorry Miller, you're not on...

...the list.

What list?

There's no list.

This is a school dance, not a...

...night club.

Miller, it's not gonna...

...happen.

Understand this, Mr. Miller...

...you are to leave the premises...

...immediately.

Both of you.

Scram.

What's going on, Miller?

Who's your friend?

Hey, maybe he'd like to play...

...football for us this fall.

Comedy never stops with you...

Chapman.

Hey, what you doing, Safchik?

Tossing my wrapper, what's it...

Look like?

Just toss it anywhere.

Miller's dad will get to it.

Right, Miller?

Won't your dad, the trash man...

...just pick it up for us?

Who said my dad's a trash...

...man, jerk?

What'd you call me?

Jerk. That's what I called...

...you, a jerk.

And what're you gonna do about...

...it?

What am I gonna do?

That was the question.

What am I gonna do?

I keep asking you because...

...you'll never tell me.

I- I'll do something!

But I don't have to tell you.

Is that what you're gonna do...

...huh, tough guy?

You are so dead!

Ahh!

Just another piece of trash...

...for his dad to pick up.

What's going on out...

...there?

Thomas Miller, are you all...

...right?

I think his arm's broken or...

...something.

Okay, I'm only gonna take a...

...look.

Lemme take a look.

Ahh!

I don't think it's broken...

...but we're gonna get you to the...

...nurse's office... Get some ice on...

...it, let her take a closer look.

Come on.

That should help.

Albert, I'm gonna tell you...

...one more time what's going on...

...tonight.

Maybe if it comes from you...

...people will believe.

All right.

What, Thomas?

What's going on tonight?

The President's daughter is...

...in serious danger.

You mentioned that earlier...

...today.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's here in the...

...nurse's office.

Jackie, we need to get out of...

...here.

I know.

Wait a minute.

Please don't take this...

...personally, but we need to get...

...outta here.

You're not going anywhere...

Thomas.

We can't have you running...

...around, telling a bunch of...

...foolish stories.

But that's all they are, right?

Right, stories.

Just a bunch of stories.

You know more.

I know you know more.

Maybe I do know more, Frank.

Okay, now that some of the...

...truth is starting to come out...

...it is extremely important that...

...you tell me exactly what you...

...know about our visitor tonight.

All right, here's the truth...

...as I see it.

I know about your plan to...

...kidnap the President's daughter...

...and I know that one thing's for...

...sure... I'm gonna stop you.

Whoa!

Go, come on!

Thomas!

You hate it when that...

...happens, don't you?

Thomas, Jackie!

Come on.

Over there, Jackie.

Come on, we gotta keep moving.

Follow me.

This is gonna make some...

...fantastic story.

Who would I tell?

I mean, who's gonna actually...

...believe Thomas Miller?

It all depends on how it...

...ends.

Yeah.

I wonder how it actually will...

...end.

Miller!

Ahh!

I'll tell you how it ends...

Miller... it ends bad for you.

Sorry, Miller.

Wrong hand.

Come on.

Let go of us!

Let go of me!

Get in.

Come on, Miller, come back here.

Let go of me!

We tried to tell you, and you...

...wouldn't listen.

Open that door, Miller.

Get in there.

That oughta hold you for a...

...little while.

I can't believe I didn't...

...think you were in on it, Bailey.

I mean, isn't it always the guy...

...with a fake hand?

You give me too much credit...

Miller.

I'm just following orders.

Blame it on me, Miller boy.

Hampton.

The evil principal.

Of course.

I told your mother to keep...

...you away tonight, but no...

...here you are.

I, however, refuse to let you...

...pull focus from what tonight is...

...all about.

And what is tonight all...

...about?

That remains to be seen...

...but one thing's for sure...

...it's not about Thomas Miller.
