Call me, maybe.

Thanks.

And drink

plenty of water.

It's simple.

You get me red-haired

Captain Cybertor

Or I break you!

Do svidanya.

Pardon me, Mr. Volkov?

Nobody approaches.

Keep walking,

little man.

Alexei, Boris, let go.

This little man is Swindell.

Swindell, accent on

the back half, but...

It and, you know, it...

Swindell's

with the Russian.

I see you on the TVs,

Mr. Swindell.

Today, I buy your Honus card.

Oh, great, great, yeah.

And actually, I've come to talk

to you about another collectible.

I, uh...

I understand you're looking for

a red-haired Captain Cybertor.

Da.

Why?

You have?

Oh, yeah, I have.

I have.

This is good, little man.

Yeah.

Bring it to me.

Yeah.

I'll...

The weasel

has left the building.

Huh?

Swindell's on his way

back to his room.

Oh, not doing that again.

Uh...

How's she doing?

Amanda, where are you?

I'm in Swindell's room.

Well, make the switch.

Swindell's coming your way fast.

Move it!

Hello, handsome.

Say cheese.

Show off.

Making the switch.

You'll make me a rich man.

Welcome to the Snake

Pit, sir. And your name?

Ben, what's your status?

Waiting for the weasel

to join the bar mitzvah.

What? Waiting for Swindell to return.

He's never gonna sell

that thing.

One

red-haired Captain Cybertor

in mint condition.

Eighty thousand

American dollars.

What?

You do not

trust Ivan Volkov?

What?

Oh, no, no, no.

No, I was just, you know,

just checking it out.

I am man of honor.

If I say there is $80,000,

there is $80,000.

Well, yeah, no,

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

I mean, no offense

intended, Mr. Volkov.

I do not look in box

you give to me.

Do you know why?

Because, uh...

I'm a man of honor too?

No.

Oh.

Because last man who tried

to cheat Ivan Volkov...

Well, no one knows what

happened to him.

No one but me,

Alexei, and Boris.

You understand, da?

Da, yeah, very da.

Pleasure doing business

with you, Mr. Swindell.

I see you at auction later.

I buy your Honus card, eh?

Oh.

Thank you.

Status, please.

Is the deal done? What?

Oh, uh, oops.

I mean, uh, pardon

the, uh, the inconvenience.

Do I know you?

Uh, no. Mmm-mmm.

I, uh...

Ow!

You're the kid

with the Honus card.

I see.

Squid, limburger.

You've been messing

with me all day.

Run away!

Jackpot!

Who's the sucker

paying for this?

Aha!

Ah, Mr. Swindell, we've

been waiting for you.

Oh, yeah?

Wait.

Monies?

You know, Swindell,

you're actually

five minutes later

than we thought.

I can't believe

that plan worked.

Oh, wait, wait.

You intentionally

dropped your card?

What's going on here?

Funny story, um,

well, for us, anyway.

You know how you

just sold to Mr. Volkov

a red-haired

Captain Cybertor?

Yeah. You actually sold

him a regular old blue one.

Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no,

I sold him a red one.

You mean this one?

How did...

How did... That was in my...

Hello.

By the way, nice room.

Do you have any idea what that crazy

Russian Volkov's gonna do to me?

Yeah, I do, pretty

graphically, actually.

So here's

what's going to happen.

We'll give you this

red-haired Captain Cybertor,

and in return,

you give us...

Free and clear.

The Honus Wagner card.

And you might

want to hurry,

'cause that crazy Russian

seems pretty angry.

Where is Swindell?

I break him!

Oh, no,

this can't be happening.

It's over.

Now give us the card.

I break him very much!

- Aw.

- Face it, dude.

You just got swindled.

Give me that!

Catch it!

Hey, hey.

There you go.

Come on!

Catch!

What?

No, no.

Here we go, okay.

Cake coming through.

Oops.

Really?

Well, athletics

are not my strong suit.

Whoa, whoa,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

Is this not part

of the plan?

No! Get out of my way!

Go, go, go, go,

go, go, go.

Quick.

Hold it!

Hold it! Hold it! Hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey!

Swindell!

Sorry, coming through.

Here they come.

Welcome to the Snake Pit.

Our next four inventors

are ready.

Inventors,

start your inventions!

This is the world's

strongest vacuum.

Okay, just imagine,

your soda's way over there.

Sorry, look, we're shooting

here. You have to wait.

Safety goggles, please.

So you just press this button.

This is my laser

hedge trimmer.

Press here.

Do it again.

Just press this button. Out of my way.

Swindell!

Ben?

Sorry.

That's not good.

Stop that cake!

Oh!

Keep working out

those bugs, Dad.

Oh, okay.

Son? What did you say

you called that again?

The iGot It?

With a lowercase "i."

Trendy... Ish.

Go, go!

Come on!

Come on.

Stairs!

Go! Come on!

Go!

Go!

Sorry!

Swindell,

he's getting away!

What?

It's locked.

What do we do?

There's got to be

another way in.

This way.

- Coming through.

- Sorry.

- Move.

- Excuse me.

And now the father

of the bride,

Mr. Stroumboulopoulos.

Whoa.

For my daughter

and my new son...

What do we do now?

Thinking.

I wish them a lifetime

of happiness together!

Opa!

Opa!

And now for someone

who needs no introduction.

Please welcome,

from all the way

from my old country,

our dear, dear,

Me!

Wow, thank you so much

for that glowing introduction,

Papa Stroumboulopoulos.

Congratulations,

by the way.

You guys look beautiful.

You all look stunning.

How are you?

Good to see you.

Hey, I am not the only one to make

it all the way from the old country.

So why don't we all get up

and give a warm

hug of a welcome

to crazy cousin Demetri.

Where is that knucklehead?

Oh, can we

get a spotlight, please?

Ah, there he is!

Demetri!

Demetri!

Yeah, show him some

Stroumboulopoulos love.

- Yeah!

- Oh!

Yes. Dying

for hugs there.

Get in there.

Hug him!

He came all this way.

Oh.

Is he one of yours?

Demetri, good to see you!

- Oh!

- Aw, what a beautiful moment.

Yes, that's great.

Well, look at the time.

I have rambled on long enough.

I think there's only

one thing left to say

and that's...

Everybody dance!

Come alive! Whoo!

# Hey, I just met you

# And this is crazy...

I love this song!

Hey!

# So call me maybe

# It's hard to look right

at you, baby

# But here's my number

# So call me maybe

# Hey, I just met you

# And this is crazy

# But here's my number

# So call me maybe

# Hey, I just met you

# And this is crazy

# But here's my number

# So call me maybe

# And all the other boys

# Try to chase me

# But here's my number

# So call me maybe

# Hey, I just met you

# And this is crazy

# But here's my number

# So call me maybe

# And all the other boys

# Try to chase me

# But here's my number

# So call me maybe

What is that doing

on my cake?

Daddy!

Griffin?

Yeah, this could

be a problem.

Uh...

It will be mine.

Go, guys, go!

Not a chance, baldy!

Oh!

Go, go!

Oh, and it was

such a nice wedding.

Oh!

Stop, stop!

Oh!

Mmm.

Oh, baby, I missed you.

Oh!

What is it?

You!

You ruined

my daughter's wedding!

Sir, from the bottom

of my heart...

I don't care.

- He's getting away!

- Griffin!

Someday you'll look back

and laugh.

Bye.
