Swindle Page #4

Amanda Benson.

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

I rule, yeah!

It's like Donna Hernandez

doesn't even exist.

And the second prettiest girl in

school is actually a complete...

Do not use the "G" word!

Okay, when I moved

here three years ago,

I worked hard

to remake myself.

I will not go back to

being Mandy the mutant.

Mandy the mutant!

Mandy the

mutant, okay.

Oh, shut up!

If any of you breathes a

word of this to anybody,

I will hurt you in ways that

haven't even been invented yet.

Oh.

So hot.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Okay, we have

a lot to do to get ready.

We know our target.

The Internet is filled

with stories about this guy.

From nice old ladies to

puppies, he's robbed them all.

Uh, Griffin,

how do you rob a puppy?

He found a way. Look,

the point is, he is a bad guy,

and it's time

someone took him down.

Once and for all.

Nope.

Hmm?

Mmm, better.

Uh-huh!

Bull's-eye.

Okay, now this might

be hard to get used to.

Just take your time. Relax.

Focus.

Uh-huh.

Just think of what

you're doing.

Whoo!

Okay, that's good.

Why didn't you tell me

how easy this was gonna be?

Yeah, hmm.

This is so fun!

Well, that's beginner's

luck, though.

Hello, Lakeshore Hotel?

Book me your finest room.

How much?

How about your

second finest room?

Yeah.

That's... Okay,

that's a lot of backflips.

You seem like you

have the hang of this.

So I'm going to go.

I need this.

Ha! No, you don't.

Oh, yes, I do.

Darren, are you ready

to embrace acting?

Ah, you mean pretending.

It's a lot more than that. Okay.

A lot more, okay, you got it? Okay.

Ready?

Yeah.

I'm a bird.

What am I now?

You're holding your

arm up in the air.

No. But it's a tree.

Feel the emotions, though.

Uh, what do you

want me to...

I'm big.

Uh, I'm tiny.

I'm sad.

You're a dork.

Oh, what are you doing? Blowing

my mind is what you're doing.

Southern, southern accent.

Oh, we're southern,

some cheese puffs.

Chubbin'.

Cha!

Chubbin'.

Chubbin'.

- Are you... Are you okay?

- No! I'm sad.

I'm angry!

Okay.

I'm so mad!

Yeah, I'm so mad!

I'm so mad!

Oh, we're shy.

Oh, be shy.

Shy.

Your shy is amazing.

I did it.

Your shy is fantastic.

What? It makes who you are.

It makes you vulnerable.

That just happened right

there. That just happened.

I felt that.

Okay, we're ready.

Let's swindle a swindler.

Wow.

Yeah, "wow" is the word.

What a beautiful ride

from the country, huh?

Nature is so chic. Ha!

Allons-y!

Mr. Lefevre

has exquisite taste.

Panic attack.

Let's go.

Darren.

On it.

Guys, look, this is nuts.

We can't pull this off.

You guys roll out.

Ben, we got this, okay?

Trust me.

Melissa and Savannah

will secure our home base.

This hotel is stupid

easy to hack.

Hello! Firewall, anybody?

Okay, duplicate reservation.

Downgrade.

And give me an "A."

Upgrade.

And done.

Paula Swindell. My daddy

booked me a room here.

Yes, Miss Swindell.

Uh, "Swindle,"

accent on the front half.

My apologies,

Miss Swindle.

Yes, I've got you in the

ultra-deluxe crown suite.

Oh, "only the best

for my baby."

That's what daddy

always says.

Keep it on his card.

Okay.

See, Ben, everything's gonna be fine.

No one knows us here.

Except for my dad.

A laser hedge

trimmer. Wow.

The Snake Pit's really

gonna love that one.

Now, I call mine

the iGot It.

Of course,

this is just a prototype.

Uh, it still has

a few bugs...

The production models

won't be quite so sensitive.

Oh.

Don't touch anything.

Don't touch anything.

Call maintenance, okay? Get

someone... Get 'em on the phone.

That... That was me.

Did... Did I do that?

Yes, I think you did.

Look, Griffin.

We haven't even started,

and it's already not fine.

The Snake Pit is here.

My dad is here.

Look... I'm going home.

Uh-uh. No, you're not,

'cause if you go home, home will

be Uncle Grover's barn in Montana.

You need that card, Ben.

All right, your family,

they need that money,

'cause tough truth time,

your dad's not gonna

sell the iGot It.

I just have to work out a

few bugs. Okay, it'll be fine.

He still can.

He's just got to

work out a few bugs.

Hey, guys.

Watch this.

Pull me.

Yeah, that's right. Ugh,

I can't... I can't... Ugh.

This place is bigger

than my house.

Yeah, it must

cost a fortune.

Oh, that's mine.

Thank you.

Here you go.

It does, and if you

listen carefully,

you can hear the whimper

of Swindell's credit card.

Thank you.

Hey, guys, guys,

TV in the bathroom.

You can totally watch a game

while you're taking a massive...

Please don't say it.

No, bath, bath.

I was gonna say bath.

Ugh, hon, hon, daddy's

on a strict stinky cheese

and raw squid diet.

I know. Don't get me started.

The doctor calls it holistic.

I call it horrific.

Anyway, just send that

down as soon as he checks in

and charge it to the room.

Thanks, doll.

Was I loathsome enough?

You made me hate you.

You're so sweet.

Hey, Griffin, can we

talk about your plan?

You still think it's

crazy. Well, yes, and...

And you're afraid you're

gonna mess it up. Well, yes.

Ben, your job is key,

and you're gonna do fine,

okay? Can you trust me?

I know, and I do.

It's just, a lot's

riding on this,

and nothing's more

important to me right now...

The Shield of Barradon!

From Star Smash 2,

Evil Strikes Again?

Yeah, they're auctioning it

off here today, and I...

Well, I thought...

I mean, I thought

you might want to know

since that's your kind

of thing, not mine.

- Your shoes are in the room.

- Thank you.

Darren, we have

backstories to review.

Okay, well, we already

did that, like, 300 times.

Darren, acting is where

inspiration meets preparation.

Okay, okay,

well, we can...

We can prepare while

I'm watching the game.

I suppose, if that works

for you, then we'll...

Maybe we've prepared enough.

I'll never get that

out of my head.

Did you finally get

your gear in gear?

Finally? It took me

less than five minutes,

and it's way more complicated

than anything you're doing.

Okay, show me what you got.

Tapping into

the hotel surveillance cams.

Lefevre has just

entered his room, and...

Swindell's close.

He should be here in 10.

Not bad, Sis.

Amanda, time for your

visit with Monsieur Lefevre.

On my way.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Savannah, Darren,

you too. Costume up.

Darren, it's showtime!

I'm exfoliating!

Uh, good day.

Mr. Lefevre's complimentary

skin care treatment,

courtesy of Mr. Swindell.

Oh, yes, the petite,

sweaty, American man

with the unfortunate hair.

Please, viens ici.

I will sparkle

for the auction.

Hey.

Don't scratch it.

Excuse-en, sir,

but you are here

for der auction.

We are looking

for Monsieur Lefevre.

Don't know where he is.

We're coming here

to sell Papa's toy.

We were told it was

vorth a lot of monies.

Ya, monies.

Vorth... Worth a lot

of money, you say?

Mmm-hmm. Look-en.

Ya.

Oh, a red-haired

Captain Cybertor.

Ya, is it vorth the monies? Uh, monies.

Well...

It would be,

if the hair was blue.

- Blue?
