in the class with her.

-it's kind of a big deal.

-Right.

Yeah, it's a really big deal.

No, I know, sweetie.

I'm sorry. I forgot.

Uh, maybe Ben

could go with you.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Guys, Ben has a life.

Uh, not really. Not one that

takes me to San Francisco.

If you want the company,

I'd love to go.

Really?

Definitely.

-Guess what, Ben?

-Yes?

Today, my dad's

gonna be Ariel.

It's his turn.

-Oh, that's good, right?

- Really good.

You guys think

finding a CEO is a big deal?

Here, the big negotiation is

who gets to be Ariel

when we're playing

Little Mermaid.

And for the record,

it's never been my turn.

Mmm-mmm.

So this is huge for me.

I'm excited.

--I get to comb

my hair with a fork,

play with gadgets

and gizmos aplenty.

Daddy!

This is Jules.

So, guys, how long

till we get it fixed?

I mean, if you can't zoom in,

you probably won't buy.

Yeah, the first couple hours

are already down 23%.

-Oh, boy.

- Okay.

Uh, I will be there in,

like...

-Two minutes.

-...two minutes.

We 're on it.

Ben, do you have the info on

Friends Shopping Together?

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

-This is Jules.

- What's wrong?

Oh, Mom, hi. Um, I just

found out that the zoom link,

the button that you click on

to zoom in on a photo,

isn't working.

Well, that doesn't sound

like such a big deal.

Well, actually, it is.

It's what people use to

get a closer look at what...

Everybody zooms in.

I guess I don't go

to your website enough

-to know that.

--Mmm. Typing and ringing.

Yeah, sorry.

Oh, it's the warehouse.

Mom, I'm sorry.

Can I call you back?

No need.

-Okay, I love you.

-Yep.

Who says "yep"

to "I love you"?

-Hi, Alonzo.

-Hi, Jules.

-Hey.

-Not good news.

What?

Okay. Lay it on me.

In a routine check

by the sanitation department,

they found one bedbug.

No.

Unfortunately, yes.

We sent out

4,800 boxes yesterday.

We have to get them all back,

shut down the warehouse...

--...spra y for bedbugs,

then we can start

shipping again.

-Nightmare.

-Nightmare.

Okay, here we are.

Okay, let me

just finish this e-mail.

No!

No. No, no, no...

Hey, guys.

Thanks for coming.

I know the zoom is broken,

and I don't mean to

pull anyone off of that,

but I need a favor.

I accidentally sent an e-mail

to the wrong person,

and she's at work right now.

And I know she doesn't

check her personal e-mail

until she gets home at 5:30.

So I have until then to

figure out how to delete it.

Because if this person

sees this e-mail,

it'll be horrible.

And on top of that, she has

a minor heart condition.

I think this could possibly

be not good for that.

So I am counting on your

good graces and brilliance

to figure out a way

to save my ass.

Truthfully, Jules,

it's pretty impossible

to hack into a server.

And you don't

know her password?

Noidea

Jules, I think tnere's

only one thing we can do.

What?

Tell me. I'm dying.

IVle and the boys take off,

we break into

your mom's house,

and we steal her computer.

Break into her house

and steal the computer?

Are you kidding me?

That's freakin' genius.

You

will reach your destination

in 300 yards.

Little does GPS lady know

she is an accomplice

to a crime.

The woman has

a heart condition.

Think of it as a good deed.

I never

thought you'd be

a bad influence

on me, Whittaker.

Oh, relax, fellas. This is

gonna be a piece of cake.

The key is under a flowerpot.

We go in, we delete,

we disappear.

She doesn't have

an alarm, right?

Nope. She does not.

What if there's, like,

a password on the e-mail?

Hmm?

Then we take the computer.

Jules said she'd buy her

a new one, so it's a win-win.

You will reach your

destination in 100 yards.

This is like an Ocean's movie.

Ben's the old guy

with the big glasses.

His name is Elliott Gould.

Yeah, and, Jason,

you're Clooney.

Thank you.

I'll be Matt Damon 'cause

I'm kind of an outsider.

Yeah, definitely. Who am I?

You are Ben Affleck's brother.

Well, why aren't I Brad Pitt?

I think that's kind of

self-explanatory.

-Okay, Clooney.

-Thank you.

You're behind the wheel.

Park on the street.

Keep the engine running,

your eyes open.

Damon, Affleck's Brother,

you're with me.

All right, let's do this.

Remember,

the key's under the flowerpot.

Oh, no.

Oh, great plan so far.

Oh, my God.

Lewis, get Becky.

Well, if we don't

know the code,

this is gonna turn into

an alarm in 60 seconds.

Becky, put Jules on.

She put me on hold.

What is wrong with that girl?

This is so not good. What

are we supposed to do, Ben?

What are we supposed...

-Stop eating!

-Uh-huh.

Go look for the computer.

Right now. Go! Go! Go! No!

Separately! Separate...

- Ben. Ben, you there?

-Becky.

Don't screw around. Put

Jules on. It's an emergency.

-She's in a meeting.

-Interrupt her.

Ben, what's up?

Jules.

Your mother has an alarm.

No, she doesn't

Yes, she does.

I'm in her kitchen.

It's about to go off.

-What's her code?

-I have no idea.

Ben, listen to me.

I know this woman.

That is a fake alarm

that she bought off

of some infomercial

or something, okay?

It's not real.

It's not connected. It's just

to scare off burglars.

She says it's fake.

It's just to scare off burglars.

Oh, well, it's doing

a good job.

Listen, my parents would

never pay for an alarm, okay?

They're the

cheapest people in America.

Okay, well, it hasn't

turned into an alarm yet.

It's still beeping.

That's 'cause it's a fake.

Trust me on this one.

Have you found the computer?

It's not down here.

Lewis, go in there.

Davis, in there.

-Found it!

-Got it!

-What?

We found two.

Which one is hers?

The white one

or the silver one?

White one or the silver one?

-Your mom's computer?

-Yes.

It's white. I got it fixed for

her once. I am positive.

-The white one!

-White.

Oh, my God!

I knew there was

no such thing as a fake alarm!

We're gonna get

arrested! I knew it!

That's it! We're done!

Our fingerprints are

all over this place!

Ben, do you see the e-mail?

Not yet.

-Double-time it, dude.

-Here, let me.

Foundiu

"Why is my mother

always such a raging b*tch?"

Subject, "She's a terrorist."

Yes! Delete it!

Gone.

Now from the trash!

-Got it.

-Davis, where'd you find this?

-Under the bed. Right side.

-Which right side?

-Right side facing the bed!

Oh, my God! My life is over!

I'm gonna be a felon and

I have not committed a crime!

Davis, pull it together.

Can't you hear

how far away that is?

We've got at least 30 seconds

until they're here.

How am I gonna

explain this to my parents?

Oh, my God. My lisp is back!

-20 seconds.

Just run! Run!

Tell me

what you wanna do

Come here, ma

Talk to me, so talk to me

Look like

you're real good to me

Talkin' real,

tryin' to walk for me

Put it on, dawg

Dance like you never

did before for me

Wanna break your back

Gonna break your neck

What's he do...

Jason!

When I lock it down,

I hit you with that

Open the door!

Every time I come through
