00:00Not unless I absolutely have to for school.
00:03Otherwise, I feel like they've won.
00:06You never read the paper?
00:09No.
00:10Not even comics?
00:12Like, peanuts.
00:13You never read peanuts?
00:15Nope.
00:15Are you serious?
00:17You've never read peanuts?
00:20Uh-uh.
00:21Go ahead.
00:30I promise I'll hold it.
00:51You're not the boss of me now,
00:54and you're not so big.
00:57You're not the boss of me now,
01:00and you're not so big.
01:08Life is unfair.
01:21Malcolm! Malcolm! I said come in for breakfast!
01:28Francis and Piama came to visit at the same time Grandma was here.
01:32Eight people, seven sleeping spaces. Guess who gets the shaft?
01:37This is my reward for being at the library when they ask for a volunteer.
01:42Malcolm! This is your last chance!
01:45I gotta get in there. Breakfast has turned into the best part of the day.
01:49I can't believe what I'm hearing. Are you insane or just evil?
01:54Ah! Wolves should rip out your throat!
01:57What kind of a complete idiot, Butters, or toast like that?
02:01Everybody knows it's inside to outside!
02:04Come talk to me of toast. When you grow some hair in your pants.
02:09Stupid animal thinks he knows about toast.
02:13Mom, would you please pass the potatoes?
02:15I think you've had more than enough potatoes. Does the chair have to break before you stop eating?
02:23I told you my family was worse than your family.
02:26Are you kidding? My grandpa chopped the pinky off our milkman for bringing us 2%.
02:32Hey! Mom, Grandma just stole my bacon.
02:35Reese, this is Grandma's last day here. If she wants your bacon, you let her have it.
02:40All right, baby.
02:42Okay, Ida! I went ahead and did all your packing for you. Let's get a move on.
02:47Bus doesn't leave for 3 hours.
02:49Yeah, but there could be a parade. It could take us all day to get through the traffic.
02:55Great! There's barely any food left.
02:59Well, you should have come when I called you.
03:09Call when you get home, Mom.
03:10We'll miss you.
03:11Even the little one lies.
03:13Reese, I asked you to rake these leaves.
03:16I'm waiting for the rest of them to fall first.
03:18Let's not delay Grandma by having this needless discussion, shall we?
03:22Sure, I can't wait. Get me out your door. Forcing an old woman on the...
03:29Ah!
03:30Ah!
03:31Ah!
03:32Ah!
03:33Ah!
03:34Ah!
03:35Ah!

04:00Ah!
04:01Ah!
04:03Ah!
04:07Ah!
04:08Grandma's back.
04:09Mom wants you to help her unpack.
04:10This is unbelievable.
04:11It's all Reese's fault.
04:12If he had just cleaned up the yard like he was supposed to, none of this would have happened.
04:16Malcolm, she slipped on a leaf.
04:19A tiny, single leaf.
04:21I wouldn't be surprised if she broke her collarbone on purpose
04:24just so she could stay here and torment her.
04:27And I'm the one who suffers.
04:29I was so close to sleeping in the house again.
04:32I forget what a bed feels like.
04:34What are you complaining about?
04:36I'm the one who had a carrier to the car with her dress hiked up over her hips.
04:40I went blind for almost 15 minutes.
04:46Oh, it's just you.
04:51What are you doing?
04:52Everyone's blaming me for Grandma getting hurt.
04:55And I got an idea for how to cheer everyone up.
04:57What are you going to do?
04:59I don't know if I can trust you.
05:00Come on, you can.
05:04Tell you what.
05:06Punch yourself in the face.
05:10Poop.
05:13Okay, you're in.
05:14First thing you can do is show me how to turn this thing on.
05:23Your fingers are too fat.
05:27Who has fingers like that?
05:29I'm losing my appetite just looking at them.
05:31She can feed herself, Lois.
05:33I did not for this.
05:35This is your fault.
05:37You keep your yard like a jungle.
05:38And steps?
05:40Who builds a house with steps?
05:42You think you're better than everybody else?
05:45Well.
05:47My family's still worse.
05:50My mom faked stomach cancer so she wouldn't get custody.
05:53There's time.
05:55Just use your tongue as leverage.
05:57Enough!
05:58I had better foot in refugee camp.
06:01Boy, everyone's in such a crappy mood.
06:04It's awful.
06:05If only there were some way to cheer everyone up.
06:09Be cool.
06:11I'll get it.
06:12It's for me.
06:13Here, Mom.
06:13Let me help you.
06:14Hold on, hold on, hold on.
06:17You're eating dinner?
06:19Nobody even called me.
06:21What happened to your face?
06:22An owl flew into my tent.
06:24If I knew I was missing dinner, I would have grabbed the snake out of his beak.
06:32Yes?
06:33Is this one, two, three, three?
06:35Go ahead.
06:36This is her.
06:38You've been served.
06:41What are you waiting for, a tip?
06:42Get out of here.
06:47You're suing us?
06:50Okay, you win.
06:54You're suing us?
07:04Well, keep it down.
07:06The boys are in the house.
07:07Don't be so dramatic.
07:09I'm suing insurance company.
07:11Our insurance company!
07:13You don't think I have a case?
07:15You don't think I have pain?
07:17That I have suffered?
07:19For years, I have suffered in silence.
07:22Useless, miserable, money-grubbing old hag.
07:25Keep talking, tough boy.
07:27I sue you, too.
07:28All right, everybody just calm down.
07:30Mother, please, think about what you're doing.
07:32You are suing your own child.
07:35I don't want to talk about it anymore.
07:37Let the lawyers handle it.
07:38Lawyer?
07:39We don't have a lawyer.
07:41Well, you better get one.
07:45She can't get away with this.
07:48I've had it.
07:48I'm going to toss her out on her cage.
07:50Hal, we can't do that.
07:52She's my mother.
07:55My twisted, horrible monster of a mother.
07:58Why don't we just kill the old hag?
08:00Okay, just stop it right now.
08:02And nobody tells the boys about any of this.
08:05You mean about killing her?
08:07No, Hal, about the lawsuit.
08:10Oh, I think I'm going to be sick.
08:13I know.
08:13I feel the same way.
08:14I know.
08:15I really think I'm going to throw up.
08:16Well, I think I figured out why you're feeling so lousy, Lois.
08:26You're pregnant.
08:28Pregnant?
08:40Congratulations.
08:46This is the best part of my job.
08:50Seeing the looks on people's faces when I give them the good news.
08:53This is fantastic.
09:02Thank you so much, Doctor.
09:04Now, you're 100% sure, because it would be terrible if you were somehow wrong, like maybe
09:11my chart got mixed up with someone else's.
09:13No, it's your chart.
09:16I promise.
09:17Could you just make our happiness complete and check again?
09:23Yes.
09:24Take as much blood as you need.
09:27Just be certain.
09:29We wouldn't want you to take our dream away.
09:32Relax.
09:33I am absolutely sure.
09:36Congratulations.
09:36Oh, my God.
09:43This is awful.
09:47This can't be right.
09:48This must be some sort of mistake.
09:50What are we going to do?
09:51I don't know.
09:51We can't afford the children we have.
09:54If this baby is half as bad as our least bad one, we're still wrong.
09:57Oh, this has got to be some kind of cruel joke.
10:01Terrible.
10:03Just terrible.
10:04Are you as turned on as I am?
10:07I won't.
10:08I won't.
10:13I'm done with my business.
10:21You come for me.
10:23I know you're out there.
10:25Okay, whose turn is it?
10:27She's not my grandma.
10:31Okay.
10:31I'm thinking of a number.
10:34Wait a minute.
10:34You're just writing down the number so you can't be the one.
10:37One.
10:37That's it.
10:38You're up.
10:39Enjoy.
10:39Go ahead, Malcolm.
10:40This is so unfair.
10:42I don't even live here.
10:44The longer you wait, the worse it'll be.
10:48I'll be.
10:54I hate you all.
10:55You know, my parents don't come home for another half an hour.
11:08You're dreaming.
11:10Come on.
11:10I'm going crazy.
11:14Okay.
11:16Hey, guys.
11:17I'm going to go show Piyama the posters in your room for a while.
11:21Good idea.
11:22Have fun.
11:22I thought they'd never leave.
11:27Tell me about it.
11:29Okay, it's still good.
11:30I'll get the gift wrap.
11:34You write the card.
11:39There's no lock?
11:41With my brothers?
11:42They just got the door back a few months ago.
11:44I don't know, Francis.
11:50This feels weird.
11:51In your brother's bedroom?
11:53No, this room is fine.
11:54I've had plenty of girls in here.
11:56Quit while you're ahead.
12:07That's good enough.
12:08No one's going to eat off it.
12:11Okay, maybe not here.
12:12Mom, we need to talk.
12:33We just got some interesting news from the doctor.
12:36Yes, it's very good news.
12:40What kind of good news?
12:42It's extreme news.
12:46I'm pregnant.
12:50You're joking.
12:52Believe me, we were as surprised as you are.
12:55You know, we're already stretched to the limit financially.
13:01And obviously another baby is going to make things even harder for us.
13:06Yes, so in light of that and the burden it's going to put on us,
13:10don't you think that certain actions should be re-examined?
13:14Yes.
13:15Yes, of course.
13:16You should settle.
13:21What?
13:23Mom!
13:24It's for your own good.
13:26If you can't keep your legs closed for 20 minutes,
13:28at least take good advice when you hear it.
13:35Sleeping is the only thing that makes my life worthwhile.
13:38I can dream I'm somewhere decent.
13:42Hey, Malcolm.
13:44We need to borrow the tent for about an hour.
13:46Two hours.
13:47What?
13:48Why?
13:49Then you're business.
13:50We just need it.
13:51No, it's bad enough I've been kicked out of the house.
13:53Now you want to take away the one place I have
13:55with just a tiny piece of privacy?
13:57Forget it.
13:58Find your...
13:58Ow!
14:00Thanks.
14:00Really.
14:02I hope you're happy
14:03forcing your own brother out into the night in his underwear.
14:08We're going to need that.
14:14What are we going to do?
14:16We're in debt up to our eyeballs as it is.
14:18Well, we're just going to have to cut back.
14:20No more vacations.
14:22Stop going out to fancy restaurants for birthdays.
14:25And, you know, it wouldn't kill us to stop wearing designer labels.
14:28Hell, whose life are you leading?
14:31We don't do any of that stuff.
14:34We can't afford this baby.
14:37Where's he going to sleep?
14:39We're not going to be able to feed him
14:40after my mother gets finished with us.
14:43Oh, God, this is so unfair.
14:48Honey, relax.
14:50Here's what we're going to do.
14:51First, I'm going to go out
14:53and get you some mint chocolate chip ice cream.
14:55No, that always helps.
14:57And then we're just going to sit down
14:59and figure this all out.
15:05Hey, everything is going to be okay.
15:11We'll find our way.
15:12We always do.
15:15Promise.
15:16Oh, no!
15:30Why me?
15:34No!
15:35Why?
15:38Why?
15:39Why? Why, why, why, why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
16:09right now and see
16:21ok I'm really getting sick at this. nobody should know a beetle taste better than a
16:27June bug can I have more pancakes? You've had ten already Reese don't be a pig
16:35We need to save every penny we can.
16:39Dewey, go easy on the orange juice.
16:41That stuff doesn't grow on...
16:43Wait, it does.
16:45So why is it so damn expensive?
16:47Yeah, Dewey, you wouldn't want to be greedy.
16:49A greedy, conniving old lady who doesn't have a shred of decency in her entire body.
16:55The hooligan talks of decency.
16:59How amusing.
17:02Why is that amusing?
17:03Mind your business.
17:04Okay.
17:05Hal, I need to talk to you about the thing.
17:09Which thing? The first thing or the other thing?
17:14They know about the thing.
17:16Shut up. It's probably a different thing.
17:23I just got off the phone with the insurance company.
17:26They say that our rates are going to triple.
17:30What? Even putting in the claim is going to cost us.
17:32Triple?
17:33I guess we should probably tell the kids.
17:41Who knows? They might have a few bucks we can borrow.
17:44No, let's not tell them yet.
17:46I know my mother. I know that if we give her one last chance, she'll do the right thing. I just know it.
17:54And you understand everything I've explained to you about the deposition process?
17:58Yes.
17:59Yes. You don't have to do that.
18:04Sorry.
18:08No, no, no, no, no. Sorry, Malcolm. You can't come in right now.
18:11What are you talking about? I live here.
18:13Sorry, you just can't.
18:14Now I can't even go into my own house?
18:16Why Maya was the one singled out for abuse?
18:19Reese and Dewey are in there.
18:20No, they're not. Francis and Piyama took a minute you're golfing.
18:32And moreover, being of sound mind and body, and with just cause...
18:39Wait. Strike that.
18:41Sir, we just need you to state your name.
18:43I'm sorry I had to do that, but I had no other choice.
18:52I am still a member of this family, no matter how hard you try to forget it.
18:57And I deserve the right to know what's going on around here.
18:59Malcolm, this does not concern you.
19:02Yes, it does. There's something really weird happening in this house.
19:06And all I'm asking is for the courtesy of not being treated like an idiot.
19:10Well, your evil grandmother is suing us.
19:12Did you hear that? He called me evil. I want that on record.
19:18Okay, so she's suing us.
19:21You don't have to keep that from me.
19:23It's horrible, but everything she does is horrible.
19:27There's no reason...
19:27And your mother is pregnant.
19:30Pregnant? Are you nuts?
19:32That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
19:34How could you do that to me?
19:36To all of us? What the hell were you thinking?
19:39All clear?
19:40I kept him out as long as I could, but $10 doesn't buy a whole lot of mini golf.
19:44You knew about this and didn't tell us?
19:46Tell us what?
19:49Oh, it's here!
19:51Maybe we should take a five-minute break.
19:53I don't have a break.
19:54Mom made me promise not to tell you.
20:00For some reason, she was trying to protect Grandma.
20:03What does Grandma have to do with Mom being pregnant?
20:06What?
20:06You're pregnant?
20:07No!
20:08You're having another kid?
20:11What is wrong with you two?
20:13You don't have enough problems as it is?
20:15I can't believe you boys.
20:17This is the way you react to wonderful news?
20:20This is a blessing!
20:22You should be ashamed of yourselves!
20:25Psst!
20:25I need to talk to you!
20:28I can't believe you!
20:29What?
20:29Well, we don't have to worry about our insurance premiums coming up.
20:32They just canceled our policy.
20:34What are you talking about?
20:35I said something about too many late payments.
20:38Some kind of loophole.
20:39So, whatever your mom gets, we have to pay out of our own pocket!
20:43Oh my God!
20:45I have good news!
20:53You know how everybody's been so depressed around here lately?
20:56Well, I was thinking, what could I do to cheer everyone up?
21:01And then it hit me!
21:02It was the most obvious thing in the world!
21:05I bought us an above-ground swimming pool!
21:09And the best part is, you don't have to pay for it for six months!
21:13It's a raft!
21:15With cup holders!
21:17They're setting the pool up right now!
21:19Oh, and don't just thank me.
21:22Dewey was in on it too!
21:23He's lying!
21:24Huh?
21:28What's going on?
21:29Mom's pregnant!
21:30What?
21:31You can't do that!
21:32Do you know how dangerous it is to have a baby and a pool?
21:35All right, that's it!
21:37Boys, get to your room right now!
21:40And you, you cut that truck out of my backyard!
21:45I can't believe it!
21:50Another baby?
21:52They're nuts!
21:53None of us gets enough of anything as it is!
21:56Now we're going to have to split it five ways?
21:58What are you guys complaining about?
22:00All I ever had was being the youngest!
22:04Now I won't even have that!
22:05You guys don't get it!
22:07You're only looking at this in the short term!
22:09We're screwed for life!
22:11And I actually had some potential!
22:14I could have gone to college!
22:15Listen to you guys!
22:17Nice family this kid is going to be born into!
22:19Hey, we're allowed to be upset!
22:22We're the ones getting left down while every resource this family has is going to our baby brother!
22:33Brother?
22:34How much is she costing me?
22:41I'm not paying for your little tart of a girlfriend!
22:46Mother, we need to talk!
22:48Ida, we have no insurance!
22:51We were late on our payments and they cancelled us!
22:55If you don't stop this lawsuit, we'll be ruined!
22:58Do you understand?
22:59I'm sure you'll manage somehow with our agency's welfare!
23:08But who is there to help me, huh?
23:10Nobody!
23:13Mom?
23:13Dad?
23:16We just want to tell you that we were sorry for the way we acted about the baby!
23:20Yeah, we figured it out!
23:22Reese and I can double up in the bed again!
23:24And I can sleep with the baby!
23:25It'll be fun having a busy box again!
23:27Yeah, and I could probably send home 30 bucks a week to help out!
23:36Thank you, boys!
23:37Hello!
23:39This lawsuit isn't gonna go away!
23:42Just cause you ignore me!
23:46Where do you think you're going?
23:48I'm outta here!
23:49They have no insurance!
23:51What do you think I'm gonna take, 40% of this run-down dump of a house?
23:5630% and yet!
23:58Let me explain something to you.
24:00This house would fit in my house's garage,
24:03but then I'd have to park my Porsche in the driveway!
24:07Now, I don't mind tossing innocent people into the street!
24:09I just don't do it for free!
24:11I think I feel well enough to travel!
24:25I think I feel well enough to travel!
24:31Frances and Grandma are finally gone,
24:33and everything's back to normal.
24:35Well, not exactly normal.
24:37Dad told us that during the first trimester of pregnancy,
24:41women sometimes get a tiny bit hormonal.
24:44Quick, boys!
24:45Someone let the cap off the trunk face!
24:47Watch out!
25:03Well, let's go a bit.
