Robbers were trying to rip off your house!
So you chose to trash it?
No, I was trying to protect it!
Vera, you can pee next week.
[Vera and Marv enter Kevin's room, which appears deserted] [whispering]
I think there's somebody here.
[Kevin is trapped in the basement with Mr. Prescott]
I don't understand. If they were so mean to you how come you never quit working for them?
I know you are young and that is the most obvious solution, but jobs are not always easy to find.
D Dad
Just because you grow up on the outside doesn't mean you want to stop having fun enjoying life.
I know all about the inner child dad.
Peter You do, huh?
That's why old guys drive sports cars.
Peter You're probably right.
But the trouble with sports cars, there's no room for anybody else maybe one other person max. But if you want to take a real road trip luggage and all you don’t even have room for a friend I mean there cool and fast and all but who wants to be in a nice car when you're alone all.
Peter Kevin, what happened?
It wasn't me. It was the burglars.
Peter The burglars?
Yeah, and I recognized the one guy, Marv. Did I ever tell you about him? Well, that's another story. But the point is, they were gonna rip off your house!
So you chose instead to trash it?
No, I was trying to protect it!
Hey, why didn't you come when I was calling you?
Prescott, were you aware of any burglars here today?
Burglars? No, ma'am. All the alarms were on as usual.
Well, maybe they turned them off. They had one of these, you know.
I saw no intruders, and except for... beg your pardon, ma'am, the briefest of all bathroom breaks, my eyes were on the monitors at all times. How one child could do so much damage in the time it took me to... Well, it's quite beyond me.
Well, there was no one else here!
With all due respect, sir, I did see Master Kevin playing with the devices as if the house were a big toy. The only hooligan here today was your son.
I'm not lying. The bad guys are back.
We're not getting anywhere.
Peter Kevin, I spoke to all the caterers and to Molly. Nobody saw a thing but you. Now, how could that be?
I don't know. But I heard they're gonna kidnap the prince.
Peter You heard them say that?
Yeah, with my Super Spy bugging device. And Prescott's involved with the whole thing.
This is absurd. I'm going to call and make sure the royal family's flight is okay for tomorrow.
Peter Kevin, I know what's going on here.
Peter Yeah. You're out to destroy my relationship with Natalie.
Peter You knew how important tonight was to her, and you went and pulled a crazy stunt like this.
Peter I've given you a lot of leeway because I know how tough this divorce has been on you. But tonight you went way too far. I want you to go to your room and think about what you've done. And when you're ready to apologize to Natalie, then we'll talk.
Oh, come on. No, prison's not so bad.
Yeah, on Thursdays, you get Salisbury steak.
Yeah, I know about prison. That's where I met you.
Peter, what's he done now?!
Peter Well, he saved the day, that's what. You should be thanking him.
Molly?! What in the world is going on?!
D Detective
It seems that they were gonna kidnap the prince. Best we can gather, she's the boss.
[shocked]
She's MY maid! I'm HER boss!
Well, looks like you're gonna have to find a new maid.
And a new butler, I'm afraid. I resign.
Because as a wise young man once said, "Life's too short."
