"(SQUEALS)" "(BOTH LAUGH) You... (GASPS) There they are, Crockett and Tubbs." "What up, my men?" "We have no money!" "Please go away." "I'm not here for your money, Murman." "I'm just dropping by to see the fam." "He's right, Mur." "Be nice to your brother." "It's Thanksgiving." "It's the middle of May." "Oh." "Then, yeah, he's here for cash." "How dare you suggest that I am here for a handout?" "Although, as luck would have it, I am having a spot of bad luck." "Here we go." "Just hear him out." "Tell us about your recent failures, Marvin." "Classic tale." "There I was, minding my own business in this mystical shop on the outskirts of Chinatown, when, suddenly, this ancient man popped out and asked me if I wanted to buy this rare and exotic pet." "Ooh." "Like a sassy, colorful bird?" "Better." "A Mogwai." "And so, naturally, I handed him $6,000." "Are you nuts?" "That's not even the worst part." "You see, these Mogwai are "super-high maintenance."" "You can't get them wet, no bright lights, and if you feed them after midnight, they become these bloodthirsty monsters!" "Who would buy a pet like that?" "Who?" "No one!" "That's who!" "It's from Gremlins." "Murray, please." "He had some trouble in Chinatown." "Just give him some money." "It's on Adam's lunchbox."

"'Cause I'm not a child anymore!" "I'm a grown person!" "How do you not see it by now?" "For your information, Best Bully isn't something in the yearbook." "How would you know?" "You're just one of Adam's dumb little friends." "Actually, I'm the editor." "No way!" "So what'd I get?" "Let's just say you weren't recognized for any individual achievement." "Damn it!" "I gotta be something!" "(IN SING-SONG VOICE) Guess who got Best Substitute Teacher?" "The guy with the bat from Lean on Me?" "It's your mom, dude." "Enjoy your day." "(BEVERLY CHUCKLES) Bye, Adam." "Later, babe." "Later." "The yearbook must be stopped." "Not being recognized for my awesomeness is the greatest injustice this world has ever seen." "You should get kindest eyes." "And you should get Rightest Guy 'cause you're right!" "That's not an equal compliment, but I'll take it." "Okay, I probably shouldn't be saying this out loud, but the only thing I want in the world is to get Cutest Couple with Erica." "Geoff, it's just a lame yearbook." "Who cares?" "Especially 'cause we're a lock, so why obsess over it?" "A lock?" "Come on." "There's way better, cuter couples out there." "Like who?" "Hello?" "Me and Barry?" "Mmm-hmm." "Aw!" "You'd totally win." "Except half your couple is Barry, so... (VOCALIZES)" "Hate to be this guy, but I think everyone's kinda over the whole Erica and Geoff thing." "Yeah, Barry and Lainey may not be the fresh new couple, but you can't help but root for them." "Ha!" "Oh, no!" "They're right!" "Damn it, I need this win!" "I gotta find out who they picked!" "Just go ask Adam." "'Cause he's on the yearbook staff." "Since when?" "Since he started dating the editor." "You mean Dana?" "You should really get to know your brother." "You mean punch him until we get what we want, right?" "ADULT ADAM:" "WhileEricaandBarry suddenlyneededme , mymomrealizedmyuncle wasindireneed ofa lifeline." "God!" "BEVERLY:" "Marvin, wait." "I can't let you leave empty handed." "I made you three casseroles and a Jell-O ring." "(CHUCKLES) You're always so good to me." "Marvin." "Are you okay?" "All right, here's the cold hard truth." "You know all that stuff I was saying about the Mogwais?" "It's not real." "It's from this movie Gremlins." "It's made by Steven Spielberg." "It's got all these little muppets in it." "It's surprisingly scary." "Everybody knows the movie." "Starring Phoebe Cates." "Woof, is she my type." "Please, let me help you." "Okay, here's the deal." "I gambled away a lot of money in Atlantic City playing keno." "Keno?" "What are you, 75 years old?" "Nobody plays that!" "That's why I thought I had an edge!" "Damn it!" "You know, instead of coming to Murray asking for money, why don't you ask him for a job at the furniture store?" "Oh, man, if you get me this job," "I will never ask you for anything again." "If you're serious," "I will do everything in my power to get you a job." "Absolutely not!" "The answer is no." "You don't have to convince anyone, Marvin." "The job's all yours." "Look, Barry already worked here, and it was a disaster." "I'm not hiring another child from this family." "Pfft." "If I'm a child, then why was I sentenced as an adult when I borrowed that police horse?" "Well, I'm still a partner, and I can hire and fire whoever I want." "Marvin, you're hired." "Yes!" "And I can do this." "You're fired." "No!" "You're hired again." "Boom!" "You're fired." "Frickin' Reaganomics!" "You're hired back." "I promise I won't let you down this time, boss." "I'm gonna give it my all." "You're fired." "(BLEEP) You're hired again." "Yes!" "You're fired." "No!" "And you're hired again, end of story." "Well, that was a roller-coaster ride."

"Nothing you can do will hurt as much as betraying my fellow yearbook staff!" "I don't care about your dumb baby club!" "This is a very serious real, adult problem!" "Now tell me if Geoff and I got Raddest Couple!" "How about this?" "I tell you nothing and you put some Magic Shell on some ice cream for me." "(SIGHS) Why is he making delicious demands instead of cowering in fear?" "'Cause for the first time ever, I have absolute power." "I not only know what's in the yearbook, but I can rewrite it as I please." "You're bluffing." "He's bluffing." "Maybe I am." "Or maybe I make you Most Likely To Share An Apartment With Her Mother." "That's my nightmare!" "Or is it your destiny?" "No!" "Make him stop." "I'm just getting started, Most Likely To Lose A Freestyle Rap Competition." "Don't you dare put that in." "You got it, Worst Dirt Biker." "No!" "Slowest Nunchucker." "He's attacking my private insecurities!" "I have extensive demands." "If you meet them," "I might be inclined to let you sneak a peek at the yearbook." "ERICA:" "Clean your room?" "Do your homework?" "Buy you scratch 'n sniff stickers?" "ADAM:" "I wrote the list four years ago." "I've waited my whole life for this moment and it's finally here." "I'm no longer your nerdy little brother." "I'm your equal." "Just let me kick him!"

"Do you think Jedi Master Adam Skywalker will be displeased?" "He's not here, you don't have to call him that!" "I got to get in the habit." "If I screw up, who knows what he'll label me in the yearbook?" "This is crazy!" "We're scared of Adam!" "He's like, a tiny boy." "He's been on the computer all day proofreading the yearbook." "Let's just go in and swipe the stupid floppy disk." "Oh, no." "Stop panicking." "We gotta think of a brilliant, complex plan to lure him away from it." "ADULT ADAM:" "And lure me shedid,using myonegreatweakness." "Yo, Jedi Master?" "Number three on your list is to inform you of any pertinent TV marathons, and there's a whole block of ALF on." "Yes!"

"(CLEARS THROAT)" "ADULT ADAM:" "It was themosttensemoment ofmylife." "Surely,a fingerprint couldn'tcause thatmuchdamage." "Andyet,it did." "He touched the tender insides."

"ADULT ADAM:" "While I lost theentireschoolyear, myunclediscovered acushyway tomakeus millions." "What the hell is this?" "This, my dear brother, is our future." "I give you..." "Bean bags." "I don't want any bean bags!" "Take them back to where they come from." "Please, just hear me out." "Do you remember last year when I went back to college for a week?" "Yeah, I paid for the whole semester." "Well, before I was unfairly kicked out of the freshman dorm for that fire," "I learned that every kid comes with two things..." "A mini-fridge and bean bag chairs." "Marvin!" "This isn't a get-rich-quick scheme." "We sell furniture!" "Um, bean bag chairs are furniture." "They're soft, colorful balls of furniture." "How are you not getting this?" "Damn it, Marvin!" "No person wants to sit on a sack of beans." "Yes, they will!" "Just pull up a bag and sit on it!" "I will never sit on a bag of beans." "Sit on the beans." "I don't want to sit on the beans!" "No!" "Come on!" "Try it!" "Stop it!" "I don't want to try it!" "Ease on down to comfy town." "I don't want to!" "I just don't!" "(GRUNTS) Yes." "Now let the tiny beans work their magic." "Damn it!" "I'm stuck!" "The more I push, the more I sink!" "(CHUCKLES) You're doing it wrong." "You got to shimmy out." "Like me." "Watch." "I am shimmying!" "(STRAINING) You just got to do like I do." "(SCREAMS)" "Now I'm stuck in this horrible cloud of beans!" "I knew this was a bad idea!" "Help me!" "You were supposed to take this seriously!" "I do!" "But if you don't appreciate me, then I'm gonna quit." "More like you're fired!" "Let me show you the door!" "Yeah, don't bother." "I'll go through it myself." "(GRUNTING WILDLY)" "Seriously?" "The whole yearbook's gone?" "How did this happen?" "Well, as you know, these two treat me like a child, so I composed a list of demands for when the balance of power shifted in my favor." "What are you even talking about?" "Do you have any idea how much time" "I've spent working on this layout?" "Based on the fact that this is the yearbook," "I'm gonna go with a year?" "Yes." "And now it's all gone." "Don't worry, Dana." "I've literally memorized the entire school year." "All I got to do is re-create the yearbook using my brain snapshots." "You mean your memories?" "Accessing first day of school." "(INHALES DEEPLY) It was late September, Wednesday." "It was snowing hard, and the Eagles were in the Super Bowl." "None of that's right." "Geoff Schwartz was there, and he said something funny." "And we were like, "Good one, bro."" "That does sound like me." "Just forget about it." "I still have the hard copy, so I'll just retype the whole thing by myself." "At least let me help." "No." "Trust me." "You've done enough." "You think this was my fault?" "They told me ALFwason ." "I mean, puppetry, comedy, a wisecracking alien." "Come on!" "I'm just a man." "No." "No, you're really not." "You're actually just a child." "Thanks a lot!" "You ruined my life." "You started this when you gave us that insane list of demands." "Do you even know why I wrote it?" "My whole life, you've treated me like some insignificant baby!" "I couldn't wait till I got to high school so I could be an equal." "But it got worse!" "You respect me less!" "Adam." "No!" "It's bad enough that you always see me as a little child, but now Jackie does, too." "I hope you're happy." "Jedi Master Adam's done with you two!" "(SNORING)" "Marvin?" "Huh?" "(LAUGHING) Oh, hey!" "Ho!" "Bev!" "How's it going?" "I was just... (CLEARS THROAT) poppin' into the Wawa here to pick up some strawberry milk and..." "And get a box of California raisins." "You gotta treat the body good if you want it to treat you good back." "You know what I'm saying?" "Are you just saying a bunch of words to distract me from the fact that you're living in your car?" "Can't a man just have all of his worldly possessions stuffed into his DeLorean?" "What happened to your condo?" "Funny story, sad story." "I had to sell it in order to get rid of my keno debt, which is a good thing because now I'm free and clear to start over fresh." "Fresh?" "You're homeless." "I like to think of it not as home-less but as car-full." "I'm actually thrilled this is happening, except for the bucket." "Don't look in the bucket." "Okay, you're coming home with me." "You can stay in the basement until you get back on your feet." "Yeah, I don't know if the Mur-Man's gonna be cool with that." "Marvin, he loves you dearly." "He may act all angry, but deep in his heart, he wants you to live with us." "I do not want him living with us!" "I am saying it out loud so everyone can hear!" "He's got to go!" "No Marvin!" "Think you're right, Bev." "He's playing it super angry, but he wants this." "Ha-ha!" "I knew this would happen!" "I called it." "Now I got four kids living here forever and leeching off me." "That's it!" "I am tired of you always calling me your idiot kid brother!" "Just once, I want you to treat me like Barry and Erica treat Adam, with a little bit of dignity and respect!" "The timing of this comparison is not good." "That's why I'm a damaged shell of a man, Murray, because you never looked at me like I was your equal, unlike these two angels who build up their kid brother no matter what!" "Oh, my God." "Adam's gonna be Marvin." "We got to fix this." "You see that?" "There they go, off to make a growing boy's dreams come true." "Learn from them." "Don't do that." "Don't make me out to be the bad guy here." "Right." "'Cause that's always me." "Good news, Murray..." "You never have to worry about another kid staying in your house ever again." "ADULT ADAM:" "And so my dad's harshwordswouldfinally drivemyuncleaway." "(ENGINE SPUTTERING)" "Onlyproblem..." "Hewasoutofgas." "There you go!" "Yeah!" "Whoo-hoo!"

"Big old... man boy." "Not boy." "Man." "Full man." "I don't know what's happening, but make it stop." "Look, you were right." "It's not fair that we still treat you like a dumb little kid." "From now on, you're no longer our nerdy baby bro." "You're like a real person that matters." "Well, none of that helps me get Jackie back."

"How is that even possible?" "First, I got my brother and sister to help." "Then we got all our closest friends to retype it page by page." "You did that for me?" "I did."
