Dog Day After-School

Max, we need your help!

- We borrowed mom's tablet and brought it to school

without asking and the teacher took it.

- Sounds like you'll be in trouble if your mom finds out.

Barb!!

- This is serious, Colosso-- we're supposed to take care of

Blobbin's bulldog Doggin tomorrow.

- And if mom finds out the school has her tablet,

we'll never get to dog sit.

So, what do we do, Max?

- I'm gonna be honest with you guys--

I wasn't listening.

- Focus. There's dog time on the line.

- All right, but first let me finish my science experiment.

We know what the Animalizer

does to humans, but what, pray tell,

does it do to wild animals?

- Okay, yeah! Our problem can wait.

- Prepare yourselves as I pick up where Mother Nature left off.

Science!

Whoa! Cool!

He looks crazy.

- Unh, only aggressive around trash.

- So, unless you're carrying a big bag of garbage,

you're totally safe.

Uh-oh!

Gimme that trash!

Rudest garbage man ever.

Change it back, Max.

I will--

after it attacks.

Max!

Nope, that was science!

* What you see

* Is not what you get

* Livin' our lives with a secret *

* We fit right in

* Bet you never guessed

* 'Cause we're livin' our lives *

* Just like all the rest

* A picture perfect family *

* Is what we try to be

* Look closer, you might see *

* The crazy things we do

* This isn't make believe *

* It's our reality

* Just your average family

* Trying to be normal and stay out of trouble *

* Livin' a double life *

- How did you even get the Animalizer?

I thought dad installed a new security system.

- Yeah, the facial recognition isn't very sophisticated.

Welcome back, Hank.

Lookin' good!

- Max, how are we gonna get mom's tablet back?

- Lucky for you two, I have a plan.

- Let me guess. Your plan involves stealing?

It does not involve stealing.

It is stealing!

All right, everyone grab a ski mask.

- No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

These children are not committing a felony.

Just give your teacher a basket of cookies and apologize.

She'll see how mature you're acting

and give it back to you willingly.

Your plan is boring.

Mine has ski masks!

- We're going with Phoebe's plan.

- Yeah, you peaked at raccoon, man.

*

And I can do this.

Oh! Oh!

Looks like we have a little gymnast on our hands.

- Oh, either that or she's doing the pee-pee dance.

I wanna do gymnastics.

- Oh, ho, ho, how can we say no to that face?

Of course, you can do gymnastics.

Yay!

Oh.

- A little gymnastics class, huh?

Are you sure you guys are ready for that?

We'll be fine, Phoebe.

- I'm just saying--I remember quite a few Saturdays

that turned into the Hank and Barb Show.

Hank, talk to your daughter.

- Don't worry, I will keep an eye on your mom.

- And who's gonna keep an eye on you?

And who's gonna keep an eye on you?

*

Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya!

Oh!

Sorry, Cousin Blobbin.

I thought you were a raccoon man.

I get that a lot.

Oh, Doggin!

Aw, she's so cute.

Just like her daddy.

She's me!

Bark twice if you need help.

- Be sure Billy and Nora get these care instructions,

and her favorite doggy treats.

I've gotta get back to Blob-Co.

My scientists are culture perfecting text traveling.

Unfortunately it's still a little ticklish.

Doggin!

Hi-ya. You're so cute.

- Oh, hey, how'd it go with you guys' teacher?

- Awful. Your apology idea totally backfired.

- Yeah, the teacher felt the cookies were a bribe.

She's calling mom today.

- That's what ya get for taking advice from Mom Jr.

Am I Mom Jr.? - Yep.

We usually only call you that when you're not around.

- Or when we write it in secret notes.

So true.

- Hey, kids, we're taking Chloe to gymnastics--

because she wants to go.

I can't find it anywhere.

Hasn't seen it either.

- I'm sure it'll turn up somewhere.

Have fun with Doggin. See you guys later.

It's our teacher!

- I'll get it. - No, it's for me.

- I'm expecting a call about-- - Armpit fungus.

Armpit fungus.

For Max.

Touché.

- If we don't answer, she'll call mom's cell.

Yes, she's home. One moment.

- Where are you going with this, Mom Jr.?

Mom Jr. is no more.

From now on there's only Fun Phoebe--

and she says let the fun begin!

Hey, there, this is Barb, don't ya know?

- Close your eyes. It's like she's here.

Oh, ya don't say.

I sure would like to get my tablet doohickey back, though.

Oh, no, no, no, that's no bother. You don't have to--

Okie-dokie, see you in a bit.

Great news. Fun Phoebe got your tablet back--

and your teacher's coming over to meet mom.

- Did you say our teacher's coming over?

- I also said... * I got your tablet back

*

- Well, we haven't done anything all class.

I mean, maybe we should join in

and make her feel more comfortable.

Yeah. For a minute or two.

For Chloe. - Of course. For Chloe.

- Chloe, how come you aren't jumping around

like you do at home?

I don't wanna.

- Aw, come on, it'll be fun. Watch.

- Hup! - Hup!

- Hup! - Hup!

Oooohhh...

Tumblemans!

- That was fantastic. Oh.

- Do you think you could do a little more for everyone

to get the kids into it?

I'm sorry, Coach Gibbons,

but we're not really dressed for that.

Now we are!

- How can you even play with Doggin at a time like this?

- 'Cause this is the last dog we'll ever see.

By the time we're done being grounded,

cats will have won the war.

- Nobody's getting grounded, okay?

We're gonna use the Animalizer on Doggin

and train her to be mom.

- I like it. Do we need a dad?

There's a possum in the backyard

sittin' around doin' nothin'.

Max, stop talking crazy.

Now let's turn Doggin into our mom.

There's nothing on the sheet saying we can't.

All right.

What

How'd I get so tall? How'd I get so tall?

This house smells like baloney?

Is there baloney?

- Let's see how well these treats work.

- Oh, my treats! My treats! My treats!

Doggin, sit.

I love sitting. Look! Look! I'm sitting. I'm sitting.

Yum! That's the stuff. That's the stuff.

Doggin, shake hands.

I know how to do that.

Wow, fingers are fun.

- Okay, now say, "My name is Barb

and I want my tablet back, please."

- My name is Barb and I want my tablet back, please.

Did I do good

Did I Did I do good?

*

- Okay, Doggin, remember what I taught you?

Yes, I remember.

I'm your mom and Phoebe is a butt.

Okay. Good. Good.
