Larry, we're here. Where's the fire?
What? There's no fire. What are you talking about?
You called and said there was an emergency
and to bring a fire extinguisher.
Yeah, there is an emergency, and bring a fire extinguisher.
They're two separate thoughts.
But why do you need fire extinguisher?
We don't have one.
Debbie: Well, what's the emergency?
September is a kind of dead period for holidays,
so I was looking through my calendar.
What exactly is April fools' day?
Is that one of your crazy religious holidays,
or one of your "I deserve a day off
because working five days a week is too much" holidays?
Well, it's just a day in April
when people play pranks on each other,
and then they yell, "April fools!"
Pranks, ooh. Well, that sounds more fun than yom kippur.
When do we get started?
Well, Larry, it's September, okay?
And as the name implies, April fools' day is in April.
Yeah. You know, Larry, April fools' day
may not be the holiday for you,
because pranks take a certain nuance.
What are you saying? Are you saying that I lack nuance?
I'll have you know I've got nuance
falling out of my anuses.
- Mnh...Mnh. - Ah, come on, really?
[ Gasps ] My God! What is that?!
You know what, Larry? We're not falling for that.
Dick: Falling for what?
All this holiday talk got me excited about Halloween.
I'll have you know that I am a prankster.
And a merry one at that.
I'm going to prank you so hard.
That's great, but, you know, you should probably
change your shirt first, 'cause you...
you have something right ... right there. Yeah.
What? What? I just... boop!
[ Snorts ] [ Laughing ]
You will regret that, Marty Weaver.
Yeah? Guess what. Your shoe's also untied.
You should... boop! Again! [ Laughing ] [ Laughing ]
Totally fell for it! See you.
He's good,
but I'm better.
[ Laughing ] Mark my words,
by the time this day is over... [ Door closes ]
I'll show them that I'm the merriest prankster! Aah!
Ow!
Dick, I'm trying to make a statement of intent here.
And mark my words, by the... Ow!
You know what? Forget it.

[ Hair scrapes ] Ow, mom!
If you pull out any more of my hair,
I'm gonna start looking like grandma.
Oh, sorry, baby, but sometimes
women have to hurt to look pretty.
Max, if you untie that tie,
I'm taking away your bed for a week.
Why do I have to wear a bow tie and a vest?
I look like magic Mike!
- No, you don't. - No, you don't.
Uh! Did you watch that movie
after I explicitly told you not to?
Hey, you and daddy are the ones
who are wasting 20 bucks a month on Starz.
At least someone's using it.
Ooh! You guys look like Martha Stewart
made you in her lab.
Oh, Dick, you literally said the perfect thing.
We're taking the Weaver family photo today.
And I am finally gonna get that one picture
where everyone's eyes are open,
everyone is clean, and everyone is smiling.
When am I not smiling, Debra?
Don't forget your hair appointment!
It's what I'm most looking forward to in my whole life.
Come on, guys, you're not gonna be this age forever,
and I just want one perfect picture
of my sweet, adorable family.
Tell me if I ripped my shirt open right now,
the song "it's raining men"
wouldn't start playing out of nowhere.
Okay, everybody stop watching "Magic Mike."
I'm getting my picture, and I'm canceling Starz.
[ Chuckles ] Humans.
T.N.L.B.T.F.T.W.
They never learn, but they're fun to watch.
I hope it'll catch one.
Anyhoo, I'm here to challenge the Weaver children
to a toy show-off. You two game?
Can we please go?
Can't get dirty or sweaty or mess up your hair or your clothes.
- So... - Go be kids.
[ Gasps ] Yeah! Yes!
Yeesh, I'm scalpin' her.
[ Inhales sharply ]
- What are you doing, husband? - Research.
I'm coming up with a prank for Marty Weaver
that will show him that his April fools' holiday is stupid,
and that I am the biggest fool, and...
that sounded bad as soon as it came out.
Isn't April fools' in April?
It is, which gives me only eight months
to plan a grand prank.
Until then, I'm going to berate him
with small, maddening jokes.
[ Laughs ] Like this.
It's an inflatable rubber bag
which you place under someone's seat.
And when they sit down...
[ Flatulence sound ]
Ha! [ Laughing ] [ Shrieks and laughs ]
That is so clever! Isn't it?
Just when I think humans are completely worthless,
they go and invent something like this.
Oh...Oh... What else are you cooking up, Larry bird?
Would you like some gum?
Sure.
[ Snaps ] Ow! [Bleep]
[ Laughing ] What the hell is wrong with you, Larry bird?
That really hurt!
It's not cool, man! It's not cool!
[ Snaps ]
Jerk! Ooh!
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes ]
That one's a keeper.
You know, most girls would be freaked out
if their boyfriend's intergalactic soul mate
stalked their house for a week.
Well, that's what makes you so special.
Dude, no, I'm saying it totally freaks me out
that your intergalactic soul mate
has been stalking your house for a week.
But she means nothing to me.
I mean, yes, she traveled across time and space to be with me.
Yes, the universe paired us at birth,
and I'm magnetically drawn to her,
but you're the one I want.
You don't believe me?
Come on.
No. Where are you going? I don't want to get up.
Okay.
[ Door closes ]
- Hey, Reggie. - Hi.
- Hi, Amber. - Swimfan.
Jane, it's time for you to go home.
Amber's my girlfriend, and I love her.
I know you do, and I get that.
Amber's sardonic and intelligent,
with the long hair and the alabaster skin.
She's lovely. Truly.
But I'm your soul mate, Reggie.
[ Cellphone chimes ]
Okay, I can't believe I'm about to say this,
but I have to go get my hair blown out
for a family photo.
I know. I'll see you later.
Go away.
Oh, it's starting to get cold.
Do you want my Letterman's jacket?
Your mathlete jacket?
You know what?
I think I'm already bordering on too popular.
That might just make them resent me.
Enjoy your blow-out!
You're wasting your time, Jane.
I know this is hard on you, Reggie,
and it pains me to see you like this,
but you and I are destined to be together.
We're not done here.
No, we're not.
No, I meant, we are done here.
I know you did. I love you.
I love you, t...
you...
Go away.
I thought we were gonna go play video games now.
Video games are for fat girls and virgins.
I'm gonna show you guys something really cool.
[ Laughing hysterically ]
Oh, yes!
Who's got nuance now? [ Laughs ]
Father, I'm in the middle of a life crisis
and don't have time for your juvenile shenanigans. [ Laughs ]
Where's mother?
[ Laughing ]
I didn't even put that there! That was just a happy accident!
[ Laughing ]
Oh...Pranks! Ha!
Mother, I need your help with Jane.
[ Gasps ] You've been crying.
No, no, it's fine.
Oh. Well, how can I help?
Well, I want to handle this like an adult,
so I don't want you to advise me.
Or judge me. Or question me.
But those are my three favorite things to do.
I know, but I have an idea
to get Jane out of our lives forever.
So, are you in or out?
Mm...
Hmm...
Okay. I can't decide on which tie for the picture, okay?
Paisley...or Captain America shield?
- Now, before you answer, I think... - Paisley.
Yeah, that's where I was... Paisley.
Good afternoon, Weavers.
Oh, hey, Dick. Where are Max and Abby?
They're right behind me. Listen,
will you still love your kids when they're older?
Dick, I love my kids unconditionally.
I will love them when they choose
the wrong husband and wives to marry.
I will love them when they give birth
to grandchildren that they never let me see.
I will even love them when their father gets sick,
and they never come to visit,
and the only company I have is a Jamaican hospice nurse
who comes once a week to help me clean his face
- and wipe his... - Where are you right now?
Oh... Okay, and will you still love them
if they look different from when you last saw them?
Okay, Dick, what are you talking about?
[ Giggles ] Funny story...
so we were showing off our toys,
and I had to bring out my big gun.
Literally... a big ray gun.
Did they get dirty?
No...
But they're a little wrinkled.
All right, guys!
Hey, dad. Hi, mom.
Hello.
Dick, what's going on?
Debbie, I aged your kids.
Dick, who are these people? Where's Max and Abby?
This really is them.
Uh, Dick, I don't have time for this.
[ Chuckling ] I am so sorry. I am Debbie Weaver.
I know who you are, mom.
Hey, after we take the family picture,
can we have a tea party?
- What's happening? - Where are they going?
- I told you, these are your children.
Okay. [ Chuckles ] Dick, that's impossible.
Not if you have an aging machine, which I do,
in my garage, next to the bowflex.
All right, so, if these really are our children,
then, Abby, you will know that your birthday is...
- June 12, 2006. - Hmm.
Max, what's your favorite movie?
"Empire strikes back" and..."Hairspray."
What's my cellphone number?
[ Gasps ] Aha!
Deb, to be fair, I don't know that, either.
You don't know my cellphone number?
Well, it's in my phone. I just press your face, and it calls you.
Can we please focus on the issue at hand?
All right, I'm sorry.
- Abby, what's your favorite doll's name? - Sophie.
- Is that right? - Yes.
Max, what's the nickname
we gave Michael Phelps at the London Olympics?
The ugly dolphin.
[ Gasps ] Oh! Geez!
Dick, go get your dad!
On it. [ Gasps ]
Where are we going, future husband?
Don't call me that.
We're taking you to the bus station.
We are? Isn't the bus station...
You said you wouldn't question, advise, or judge.
And I'm not.
But don't you think that perhaps
dropping an alien off at the bus station
is maybe a little... and I say this without judgment... stupid?
No, mother, it is not stupid.
When we get to the bus station, I'm gonna buy you a ticket
to anywhere you want to go, give you money,
and my life can get back to normal.
[ Sighs ] Reggie, you are my destiny.
The universe encoded my love for you in my D.N.A.
Amber Weaver won't even wear your jacket.
Okay, I don't want to talk about this anymore.
No more talking.
We're just going to sit here and...
listen to the radio in silence.
This thing doesn't have a radio.
Damn it.
♪ I got my hands up, they're playing my song ♪
♪ and I know I'm gonna be okay
♪ yeah
♪ it's a party in the U.S.A.
Jackie: That's your favorite song!
Reggie: I know! Just keep driving!
Are you okay?
Can I get you anything else?
I'm fine, mom. Boobies feel weird,
but other than that, I'm fine.
- Mm... - Can you get me a beer?
What? I can't make a joke?
[ Door opens ] Marty.
Smell my boutonniere. [ Door closes ]
I promise it won't squirt water in your face.
Okay, now's not the time, Larry. You need to fix this.
Oh, come on! Let me prank you!
Why are there little people in your house?
- Are you having a party? - No!
That's Max and Abby. Dick did something to them.
What did you do?
I put the Weaver children in an aging machine.
Dick Butkus!
How many times have I told you?
That machine is for ripening fruit
and distressing denim only!
You ripened and distressed our children?
Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God! Oh, my God!
It was an accident, father!
It was on the lowest setting, I promise!
Oh...That's good news.
The effects should be temporary.
Max and Abby should be back to normal by 6:00 P.M.
Hang in there, guys. Your children will be fine.
Probably. Hopefully.
[ Shudders ] I should probably go and check the settings
on the machine.
It will be fine. You should both just relax.
Okay, great. Thank you, Larry.
Of course. You're welcome.
I see the joy buzzer in your hand, Larry.
Damn it!
I'm sorry.
Please accept my apologies with this non-exploding cigar.
Fix my children, Larry!
Damn it! I'm good at pranks!
I am pranking your parents so good.
Awesome. They're pretty easy marks.
[ Laughs ]
♪
Well, at least Max held on to his hair.
You know, I was worried that he got your father's genes.
Are you making a joke right now?
No! I'm just trying to find a silver lining here, okay?
There is no silver lining, Marty!
This is black lining on a black cloud.
Oh, my God, I am a terrible mother.
The last thing I said to them was I was canceling Starz.
[ Both laughing ]
What if they don't change back?
I don't know if I can be a good mother
to a middle-aged them.
Hey, you could be a good mother to anyone.
And besides, Larry said they'll be back to normal
by 6:00.
Mommy, my joints hurt.
Can you give me a bath?
Give her a bath.
Please?
Oh...
I should probably call it at this point,
but it's... it's way too much fun. [ Laughs ]
[ Handcuffs click ]
Here. I bought these for you.
Pick a place you want to live and go there.
- Goodbye. - I'll see you soon, Reggie.
And you, too, mother Joyner-Kersee.
Looking forward to it.
I mean, good riddance, skank-face!
Please don't leave angry.
I'm not angry. I'm just...
Confused? Frustrated?
I'll admit, it's not entirely fair to lay this on you.
But now that you've met me, you won't be able to forget me.
I'll be in your thoughts and dreams.
You'll see my face everywhere you look.
Sometimes you'll catch yourself talking to yourself,
and you'll realize you were talking to me.
Soon I'll begin to feel like a phantom limb...
part of your body that you know should be there,
but isn't.
Until you accept our destiny,
every good thing in your life will feel empty,
every sadness like an abyss.
Geez!
[ Sighing ] Wow...
Good luck.
Let's go home.
Mother, stop.
[ Tires screech ]
Tell me I'm doing the right thing.
[ Sighs ]
May I speak without restrictions or limitations?
Please.
Son, love is complicated.
And confusing... especially here.
On Earth, you have to find your love.
On Zabvron, your love finds you.
I can't tell you whether or not you're doing the right thing.
Only you know that.
But I do know that you are not the kind of boy
who leaves a foreign girl alone at a bus stop
with a handful of money and nowhere to go.
Get in.
[ Video game beeping on tv ]
It's 6:00, Deb. Why are they not changing back?
I don't know. I'm starting to freak out.
No. Yep.
You cannot freak out. If you freak out,
then I am gonna freak out,
and you do not want me freaking out about this.
Well, I'm freaking out! I'm really freaking out, Deb! Oh!
[ Sighs ]
Mom, dad, do you still love us?
Of course we do. [ Gasps ]
Yes. Don't say that. We love you very much.
There is nothing that could stop us from loving you guys.
That's right.
Oh. Oh.
And it doesn't matter how old you are.
You will always be our babies, and we love you no matter what.
And no ray gun from some other planet
is gonna change that, so...
Thanks, mom. Now will you give me a bath?

You betcha!
Okay...
You took a shower earlier, right?
Yeah. I'm good.
Okay, good.
Mother, may I please speak with Jane alone?
Thank you for for bringing me back, Reggie.
You're welcome. But you can't stay here.

that you stand outside my house.
