MMr. Messerschmitt
Because there is such a test, a test so difficult that no student has ever passed: the Omicron Gambit.
Phil
The Omicron Gambit?
MMr. Messerschmitt
The Omicron Gambit is a test of my own creation, It has been banned in seventeen school districts and for some reason, Chile. I've only given it once to an 11th grader, Stacy Pimpkins. How's it coming, Stacy?
(An old lady is shown)
SStacy
I'm going to miss cheerleading practice!
Phil (to Keely): I don't wanna be your girlfriend. I wanna be your boyfriend.....I mean, your friend . . . who's a boy. A guy. A guy friend.
Phil
I didn't know how.
Phil, you can tell me anything....I'm your girlfriend. I, I, I mean . . . your friend who's a girl. A gal. A gal friend.
(Phil and Keely enter an empty room)
Phil
Yes (flips on the lights)
(Keely looks around at the empty room)
Phil
We are now The Resistance. We keep everything secret and we figure out a way to break Pim down. Now the first thing we need is....
Phil
I was going to say we need a plan, but yeah, we can do code names. All right, we'll call you White Panther.
That is so me! Oh! And you can be Mr. Fuzzy Bear.
Phil
I give you a name like White Panther and I get Fuzzy Bear? I don't think so, call me....call me....Midnight Cobra.
Okay, okay. Midnight Whatever. Ha. (whispers) Fuzzy Bear.
Keely (to Phil): It was fun being in the resistance. What else can we resist?
Phil
Uhh, how about "Fish Stick Friday" in the cafeteria?
Perfect! But we're going to need entirely new code names.
Phil
All right, but this time, I get to pick. All right, you can be Kitten Velor and I'll be Dash Unicorn.
Phil
Wait, wait, no....
Phil
Dash Manly?
Phil
(Yawning Loudly) (Sniffs a shirt) Whoa! Hohh! That's not clean.
Good morning, Sweetheart. Breakfast is ready.
Phil
Mom, I'm not dressed!
(Laughing) Oh, Phil, I was there the day you popped out of your natal pod. You don't have anything i haven't seen already.
Phil
Yeah, except for the sign on the door that says "Please Knock."
Hey, Phil! That "Please Knock" sign is lookin' a little shabby. I'll touch it up for you as soon as i store these photon conduits.
Phil
Dad, Look. I know that space in the garage is a little tight right now, But why does my room have to become your storage closet?
Because the sign on Pim's door says "Keep Out Or Else," and i don't want to find out what "Or Else" means.
Phil
Well, I don't have room for all this junk.
CComputer
This unit is not junk.
Be careful what you say around the time engine C.P.U. It's a little emotionally unstable right now.
CComputer
This unit reads lips, you know. and this unit's going through a lot right now.
Phil
Well, if it's ok with everyone else in this family. I kinda find getting dressed a little bit of a private affair.
No Problem. I got some more stuff to bring up, anyway.
Phil
(Puts shirt over the unit)(Sighs) Nothing personal.
CComputer
Nothing this unit hasn't seen already.
Phil
(Gasps) Pim! Do You Think This Is Funny?
Not yet...But it'll be hilarious on the front page of my blog.
Hey, Everybody, I'm thinkin' tonight's the night for game night.
Dad, You're still shy 20 large from last month's game of snakes and ladders, blood-sport edition.
Well, I have finally found a present-day game that i can win. It's called (Mispronouncing) Charad-Zah.
Ooh, charad-zah! Sounds fancy. We're gonna need some cheese.
Phil
It's not called charad-zah. It's called charades. All right? And if you don't mind, I'm gonna take a rain check.
Rain check. Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. I haven't even lost yet.
Phil, It's game night. Don't you want to spend time with your family?
Phil
I think i spend enough time with you all in my room. You just walk in whenever you want. You store all your time machine junk in there, and you(Pim)...Live here. It--(Sighs) Don't get me wrong. All right? I love almost all of you, but i think what i really need is some privacy in my own room.
Sounds like your own room is about to blow a gasket.
Maybe i shouldn't have stored the hysterical fuel cells next to the self-propelled spark rods.
Yeah, that was probably a mistake.
Phil
My room!
You're not getting any privacy with that giant gaping hole in your floor. Tough break, Kid.
Phil
This is way too big to fix for the wizard. Maybe dad will lend me some of his future tools.
Are you kidding? My tools are calibrated for high-tech plastics and composites, not for wood and nails. They're extremely, extremely sensitive.
Phil
Well, where am i gonna sleep?
You'll just have to bunk with Pim until we can get this fixed.
Phil
That was a good one, Mom.
Yeah, way to cut the tension.
Phil
Oh...Oh, i'd rather live in the garage.
Well, i'm open to any better ideas.
Phil
I'd rather live in the garage.
Hey, I think that's a great--ly...Bad idea. Greatly bad.
I--I hate to say it, but i agree with your father. you are too young to be living in the garage.
I say it's high time to push him out of the nest and say, "Fly, Baby Bird! Spread those wings and make us proud."
I agree with your mother.
I haven't said anything yet.
Oh, it's just kind of a technicality, isn't it?
Mom, you just said phil is so young, he should live in the garage.
Phil
Uh, that's what i heard.
Phil
What's it gonna be, Mom?
Phil
Yes! Thank You! Thank You!
The house...Is mine! All mine!
Pim! I've told you a hundred times if you're gonna disappear under cover of a smoke bomb, take it outside!
Phil
I really appreciate you makin' room for me, Curtis.
Phil
What's the matter?
Newcomer not allowed live inside without first ceremony of king. Ah. (Chuckles)
Phil
Is this gonna take long?
Curtis must thank sun, earth wind. 3 days.
Phil
Can we speed it up a little?
Hmm...Ahh, we no thank wind. 2 minutes, Tops. Ceremony begin! Tseeaahhh...Tseee...Tonga!
Phil
Thank the wind! Thank the wind!
Wind very persnickety today.
Phil
Yeah.
Phil
Where do i put my bags?
No, no! Not there! No! Not there. Just give Curtis.
Switch that make magic light here. Box that make magic picture...Here.
Phil
What's This?
Phil
This is awesome!
Curtis run a few errands. Phil need anything?
Phil
No, no, i'm good.
Okay. Okay. Tsee tonga. Hey, Girlie.
Hey, Phil. I came...By to...See the new...
Phil
What do you think?
Phil
I know! Isn't this the coolest place to live ever?
Yeah, if you're a car. (Chuckles)
Phil
I admit it's no swanky penthouse in the pickford swank district. You know, this is my chance to get free from under my parents!
You're right. I'm--I'm sorry. I think you can really do a lot with this place. and the first thing we're gonna do is throw you a garage-warming party.
Phil
Bruno. Hey. Phil Diffy. How's the H.G. Wells star quarterback? Hey, congrats on winning the fingerbowl last week. Yeah. Listen, Keely and i are throwing a housewarming party at my place tonight. Uh, and, well, you're on the short list. Yeah. I--I got my own crib out back.
Phil
Hello! Bruno?! Bruno! Hey...I Gotta go. Curtis, i was on the phone.
Feet also on table. Where'd you learn manners? Barnyard?
Phil
I'm not the caveman here.
Could fool Curtis. Phil clothes. Oh, Phil, Phil. Now...Curtis clothes. Phil books...Curtis books. Curtis arrange by author...Then subject.
Phil
Are you finished?
Now we talk about throwing party without Curtis approval?
Phil
Okay. I just moved away from my mother. I don't need another one.
Then stop acting like child.
Phil
I am not a child. I'm a responsible adult...Like person, and i don't need your permission to throw a party.
In Curtis cave, you play by Curtis rules.
Phil
Okay, technically this isn't a cave. And even more technically, this cave is my garage!
Oh! Phil claim Curtis cave?!
Phil
Oh, you don't scare me.
Phil
Okay. Okay. You scare me a little.
Phil
What?
First of all, in the 21st century, there are these places called hardware stores. I work at one! Ha ha!
Your father found some present-day tools he can use to fix your floor. You'll be able to move back in no time.
I couldn't help but overhear.
Phil
Look, i don't want to move back in. I like it out here.
Phil, you are too young to be living in the garage.
Phil
When are you going to get it? I'm not a little kid anymore.
Barb, it's not gonna hurt to let Phil give it a shot.
Wait. Curtis no want to live in garage with Phil.
Phil
Then you can live in my room.
Well, ho-hold on. Hold on. Phil's bedroom floor isn't fixed yet. It's gonna take quite a while.
You got a lumber, floor joists, perhaps a plumb line?
Curtis solve problem right now.
Ohhh...My baby's come home.
Phil
Got to stop doing that every time i walk in the door, Barb. Mrs. Diffy? Mom?
Ah. A little snack for game night?
Phil
Actually, Dad...Mr. Diffy, Lloyd?
Phil
I...Am throwin' a little party at my place tonight.
Well, since you want to be, uh, treated as an adult...
Phil
"Bill For Food"? (Chuckles) Get this stuff cheaper at the store.
You're paying for convenience. That's why i located here. And while we're on the subject...
Phil
Gas...Electric...Water, internet?
Welcome to grown-up world. You get the gains, you get the pains.
Phil
(Chuckles) Very funny, Lloyd.
I have to admit...This place looks amazing. You'd never even know it's a garage.
Phil
Hupp, got it!
Phil
Hey...Bruno! And you brought your crew. Come on in, Bruno's crew.
BBruno
Cool. You got your own place.
Phil
Yeah. Yeah. Would've been long ago, but, you know, parents couldn't bear to lose me. You can see their house from here.
BBruno
Brought you a little housewarming. Some of Bruno's famous slaw.
Phil
It's...It's empty.
BBruno
We got caught in traffic.
Congratulations on winning the teriyaki poll.
BBruno
You know, Keely, uh...All we can really do is try. But when you try with a little umph, you get umph out of your try...Which makes triumph. (Chuckles)
BBruno
That's right. Chew on that while i chew on this.
Phil
All right, Everbody, just relax. I'll handle this...And, Bruno, that--that's me, not Keely.
Phil
That's still me. Lloyd, you turned off the electricity in the garage.
Sorry, Phil, but you didn't pay your bill.
Phil
But we just got this party started. Can't you wait to turn off the electricity till later, like, when i go to sleep?
Sure...In kid world, but this is adult world, where electricity goes off when you don't pay your bills.
Phil, everybody's gonna head home! I mean...What can a bunch of teenagers do in a garage in the dark with no parental supervision?
Phil
You're right. All right. Well, thanks for comin'.
BBruno
F.Y.I...The slaw container's not dishwasher-safe, so if you could just give it a quick little rinse-ski...that'd be good.
I'm gonna head home, too. Happy garage.
Phil. Why don't you come in the house for dinner and game night? You can be on my team for (Mispronouncing) Charades!
Phil
That is my home, and that's where i'm staying. I don't need electricity, and i don't need you!
Phil
Can you at least keep the electricity on until i get to the couch? Thank you.
Phil
Ohh! Ohh! How'd you sneak in here? Tunnel number 3?
Phil
I've always known. I've just never told mom and dad.
Too bad jurassic the clown doesn't share your code of honor. One day, and he's already gotten me grounded for a month.
Phil
Well, let's just hope he doesn't figure out your plan to breed and market attack squirrels.
You know about that, too? See? You're a much more worthy opponet. Too bad you're out of here, right?
Phil
(Sighs) I'll break my rule and be honest with you. I don't really love being on my own, but if i tell mom and dad, then i'm right back where i started.
I'm seeing a mutually beneficial arrangement. I get rid of Curtis and you get your room back without groveling.
Phil
Look, I am willing to try anything if it gets me back into the house and lets me keep my new-found maturity.
So why'd you sneak in here anyway? Forget your blankie?
Phil
No. Just a small swatch of fabric that means absolutely nothing to me.
