Shhhh!
- Quiet. The whole world's gonna know I missed curfew.
It's gonna be your fault. - I missed curfew, too.
I was out trying to find a club that would let my band play.
- Oh, well, I missed curfew-- - Don't care!
- - Ow.
Go check if the coast is clear.
- Mom is right on the other side of that door
with her "waiting up" blanket.
We're in so much trouble. - You know what?
Why are a couple of supes sneakin' around anyway?
We should just man up, go in there,
and tell Mom what we think of her "curfew."
- You're right. We should handle this like mature adults.
Okay, Mom, I know we're late, but--
- What do you mean "we"? - Well...
- Phoebe, you're over an hour late.
Do you know how worried your father and I were?
Oh, television...
I don't have a care in the world when you're on.
- Do you know how worried I was?
Mother, shall we sit?
We shall not.
Mom, here's the thing--
I'm not a little kid anymore.
Heck, I'm the protector of Hiddenville.
If something went wrong, I would call myself.
- I know you think you can take care of yourself,
but I am still responsible for you.
Do you understand? - Not even a little bit.
So, I guess we'll agree to disagree.
- How about we agree to ground you for a week?
- Well, that escalated quickly.
Seriously? A week?
- Yeah. Why don't you call yourself and get outta that?
Come on, Mom!
- Would you guys please keep it down?
I'm trying to sleep.
Sorry, sweetie.
Phoebe, you're double-grounded for waking your brother up.
Oh?!
*
* 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 *
- There's nothing on.
Oh, Dad, do you need anything from the store?
I can go get it.
- Shhhh! I can't be seen talking to you.
You're gonna get me grounded. - Dad!
- Sorry, honey, but the only way you're gettin' outta here
is on a superhero mission.
Just, uh, watch some TV.
- TV's boring.
- Now you're bad-mouthing TV?
You deserve being grounded.
- Wait? All I need's a mission, huh?
Thunder Monitor, emergency call to President Kickbutt.
Calling Super President Kickbutt.
- Phoebe, this had better be important.
I'm having quiet time at home.
- Simone, turn that song off, please!
- Uh, I was wondering if you had a mission for me?
- Phoebe, this is my one day off a month.
I just want some peace and--
- Simone! -
- Oh, look, a mission just came across the wire.
The Hero League wants you to
take Simone off my hands for the evening.
Oh, uh, that sounds--
- Good. I'm sending her to you right now.
Oh, hey, Phoebe!
Mom, you can't keep doing that!
You're Phoebe's mission now.
Super President Kickbutt... out...
- I hope your parents are cooler than mine.
- They are not--which is why we are leaving.
- Oh, hey, Simone. What are you doing here?
She's my "mission."
Super President Kickbutt wanted me to take her out.
It sounded very serious-- there were beeps.
Super President Kickbutt, huh?
Okay, well, you can go on your little mission,
but if you don't make curfew tonight,
you're gonna be triple-grounded.
Three weeks?
Those are Max numbers.
Enjoy your mission.
You're on "Mom Time" now.
- Moms, am I right? - Totally useless.
Now wait here, I'm gonna go put on
this really cute outfit she bought me yesterday.
Hi, Max.
- Well, well, well, if it isn't Simone Kickbutt--
-er Cumberbatch.
Guys, this is Simone, a completely normal teenager
whose parents are totally unimportant.
- Any relation to Mike Kickbutter-Cumberbatch?
No, no relation.
So, what are you doing here?
- She must have heard about our first club gig--
which we booked just in time.
We had a pact that if we didn't
play a club by tonight, we'd break up.
- Speaking of breaking up, Max,
is your mom still with that dude?
You mean my dad?
Not cool, Gideon.
- Wolfgang?
- Sure, I'd love to see you guys play.
I've been to Germany.
- Okay, uh, well, I just texted you the address.
- And I am definitely not texting Barb the address.
- You really seem to be enjoying that cocoa.
- Oh, I finished it five minutes ago.
I'm just trying to wait them out.
Okay, you win. What's with the costumes?
- It's not about the costumes.
We're here on business.
- Yeah, it's o-fish-ial business.
- What this clown fish is trying to say
is we want a pet.
- Oh. - Oh, ho, here we go.
You guys have tried this song and dance before.
- Not this one. Hit it, Billy.
* Buy us a pet
* Be the best guys ever
* Buy us a pet
* It's meow or never
* What we're trying to say
* In our adorable way is
* Buy us a pet right now
Seriously? Nothing?
- I'm sorry, but you guys are just not ready for a pet...
or Broadway.
- That's right. It's a huge responsibility.
- We were afraid you would say that,
and we would like to counter with this...
Pwease, Mommy, Daddy?
- Oh, ho, ho, ho. - Oh...
Must...fight...cuteness.
- All right, listen, why don't you guys
take care of Dr. Colosso for the weekend?
If he says you're responsible pet owners,
then...we'll...get ya a pet.
- NORA, BILLY, CHLOE: Yay!
- Sorry, Barb, but you knew adorable children
were a risk when you married me.
- Simone, I'm telling you, Splatburger is not a club.
It's barely a restaurant.
That is now a club.
I can't believe Mrs. Wong
would turn her restaurant into a nightclub.
She didn't...
I did!
Welcome to Club Splatz.
Why is it always you?
- Well, since I couldn't find a club
that would let our band play, I opened my own,
and when we rock out tonight,
our band won't have to split up.
- So, you just broke into Splatburger?
- How dare you!
I stole the key. - Hm...
You guys have fun now.
All right, we should go.
Your mom would not like you partying at an illegal club.
- Yeah, because she worries too much--
just like your mom.
- Tell me about it. I'm triple-grounded?
I am a superhero, dang it.
Great! Then we're staying.
Simone, out!
Wait!
I can't miss curfew, so meet me at the door at 10:00.
Got it. Now I'm out.
- Okay, just please don't hit me with your--
hair.
- "And then the wicked witch
"put the pretty princess to sleep forever and ever...
The End."?
- Ha! I love evil fairytales.
- Enjoy your healthy vegetables, Colosso.
Well, isn't that lovely.
Huh! -
I don't want that garbage!
