No rust stuff. >> You promised. I didn't. You said you understood. >> Sure, I understand. That's why I didn't promise. Oh, come on. I won't do a thing. Hey, kid. The penguin. Come here. >> I don't suppose you can tie a good knot. I can tie a >> I can tie a square knot. >> All right, let's see you tie the end of this rope above that car. >> What do you give me if I do? >> A handful of jelly beans. Now, come on. Hurry up. >> I don't like jelly beans. >> I'll write some cookies. Good ones. I promise. >> Hurry up. Give me a cookie first. >> Here. >> Why? What for? To pull a trick for crying out loud. Hurry up. What's the matter? You chicken or something? I ain't chicken. Ouch. That car tow the trailer away. Jeez, it going to take all night. Hurry up, dumbhead. Nah, it's just a war on a rope. Give old jerk a jerk. That's funny. You'll think it's an earthquake or something. Bunny, watch out. Stop. Stop. Please. [Music] >> And I understand the police are investigating. You know, it's just awful to take care of property at Halloween last year. Remember property damage? They tore off fences and plants and yards and everything. Just a mess. Well, they're looking into it all now. You know what they said? They say it's the height skip. >> Oh, no. >> Yeah. Just imagine 8 years old and that tread was really banged up. Must have cost the old man a couple of hundred. Not to mention the old clunk in this condition before they amazing. It's just awful thing to do. Harold >> the lady. I don't know if I can fix this stove or not. I don't know if I have the parts. >> Well, I don't know why they expect us to carry it. I'll look on the truck and see if I've got the part. >> I'm sure glad Pete stayed out of trouble. His father really laid down the law to him. >> Yeah, >> we got enough to worry about around here. >> Did I tell you about the sink? >> No. >> Hi, honey. I'll see you later. >> Yeah, talk to us. >> Some sleep you had. >> Ma, what did Ronnie Heights do? >> Crazy kid tied a man's house trailer to a car. The car yanked the trailer off its blocks. When the weight of the trailer came down those blocks, they ripped right up to the floor. The old man was inside pouring himself some hot tea. And he got knocked down, of course, with boiling water all over his arms. That's where Ronnie is in real trouble. Here's some of that honey you hate so much. I'm sure glad you took it easy. Listen to your father. You've got enough expenses right now without something like that. What happened? I uh you know Ronnie uh the police got Ronnie and >> Yeah, I know. I know about that. But maybe he's telling us. >> He won't know who we are. He might recognize us. >> No, no, no, no. We We >> But he might even know the costume. >> Are you kidding, man? The kids wear those kind of costumes. >> But not the exact same costume. >> Ronnie isn't that smart. Besides that, it was too dark. >> Well, anyhow, what's about Ronnie? All the trouble he's getting, he shouldn't be getting all the blame. Was partly our fault. >> He didn't have to do it, right? Besides that, it was a square deal. Look, we asked him if he'd do it and he said, "What will you give me?" Right? But we gave we said, "Where to make the deal in the first place?" >> So we we gave him jelly beans. He said he didn't want jelly beans. So we gave him a cookie. So we let him eat it. We didn't argue. Then he turns around. He comes back says before. So we have to tell him. So he knew what it was for. He got his He got what he wanted. That's no excuse. No. >> He didn't even know what he was doing. Oh, sure. We told him it was playing a trick. So what do you think? He's only 8 years old. But how much is he supposed to know? >> If he's not smart enough to figure out what's going to happen, he deserves to get this mess. >> So what, man? It's still not right. Can't just let his father pay all those expenses. >> They can't afford it. So don't worry about it. >> So what, it's not going to hurt them any bit. It's going to hurt us, I tell you. >> Well, it's still not right. I don't care how much money we have. >> Maybe it is, but can you afford it? You've got that. You still have to go. >> So you promised your dad, remember, we're not going to do anything. >> So >> I didn't do anything though. But you >> I was involved. I was >> You were just as involved in as I was. And I wasn't that much involved. But according to you, I had something to do with it. And you were just as involved as I was. >> I was not just as involved. It was your idea. You're the one that you get into just as much trouble as I do. >> So I don't care. Don't be ridiculous. Look, we're safe. We're clear. No one knows who we did it, right? No one knows. You You and I are perfectly safe. The only one that's going to miss is Ronnie. And that's final. >> What? Leave Ronald. >> Why are you worrying about it? My gosh, we're safe.
