00:00Watch this, Ruff.
00:07One for the money, two for the show, three...
00:11Um, I forget.
00:14And four... I don't know.
00:19It's Saturday, Ruff.
00:21No school for two whole days.
00:25Hey, I bet Mr. Wilson's excited, too.
00:28Oh, George, it wouldn't hurt you to be nice to Dennis once in a while.
00:33Hurt me, Martha? It could very possibly kill me.
00:36I tell you the only safe time to be outside is before Dennis Mitchell hits the streets.
00:41Now, when I get this satellite dish up there, you go park our car over on Mason Street.
00:47Whatever for, George?
00:49That way, Dennis will think we're gone for the weekend,
00:51and I'll get to watch the big football game on TV in peace.
00:55Yeah, you gotta get up pretty doggone early to beat old George Wilson.
01:03Oh, please, no.
01:06Hiya, Mr. Wilson. What you doing?
01:09Dennis, you get out of that tree this instant!
01:12Henry, I think Dennis is up.
01:29Oh, don't worry, dear.
01:30If he was up, we'd know it.
01:32Wow! A rain or a dish for me and Joey play Top Gun.
01:43You're the greatest, Mr. Wilson.
01:46From now on, you could use our door.
01:49It sticks a little, so you gotta slam it kind of hard.
01:52Like this!
01:53Why don't I show Joey the...
02:02Whoa! Nice jump!
02:06But you should be careful, Mr. Wilson.
02:08You could fall from your Spetunias.
02:11Mitchell!
02:22I think he's up now.
02:25I tell you, Mitchell, that boy of yours is a...
02:27is a... is a... is a menace!
02:30Other neighborhood kids don't come over when I'm sleeping
02:32and tamper with my eyelids.
02:34Other neighborhood kids don't use my weed whacker
02:37to give the neighborhood dogs a haircut.
02:39Other...
02:40What?
02:40This just in, there's been a breakout
02:42at the state penitentiary.
02:43Two escaped convicts are believed to be
02:45in the vicinity of Midvale.
02:47Anyone spotting them is asked to contact the police immediately.
02:50They are extremely dangerous.
02:53You see that, Mitchell?
02:54And they're choir boys compared to you-know-who.
02:57Boy, Mr. Wilson sure is mad about something.
03:02Yeah, I haven't seen that fain in his neck
03:04do that wiggly little dance
03:06since I used his garden hose for a bent rope.
03:09I'll keep him away from your place from now on, George.
03:12I-I promise.
03:14And here you go.
03:15Good as new.
03:18Yeah, don't forget our old college
03:19is playing in the biggest game of the year tomorrow.
03:22And not even Dennis is going to cause me
03:24to miss a second of it.
03:26Ah, I remember my college days
03:29like they were yesterday.
03:30My old fraternity, Beta Pi Pi.
03:33Great Scott, I was in the Beta Pi fraternity in my day.
03:38Class of-
03:39Well, never mind.
03:41But I was a Pi guy.
03:43Hoo-ha-lay-ah-oo-yah!
03:47What's eternity, Mrs. Mitchell?
03:49Well, it's kind of like a club for big kids, Joey.
03:52They have all kinds of secrets
03:54and love playing practical jokes on each other
03:56and things like that.
03:57Hey, we should start a secret eternity of our own, Joey.
04:01Okay, but I'm not doing that ants-in-your-pants dance.
04:07George, what would you say
04:08to putting together a mini-pie reunion?
04:11Hmm.
04:12Why, you know, I haven't seen the hook in years.
04:16Who's the hook?
04:17Ha-ha!
04:18He-he was the biggest practical joker
04:20in my fraternity house, boys.
04:22Oh, he-he got that nickname
04:24because he could hook food right off your plate
04:26while he distracted you with a-a whoopee cushion
04:28or an exploding cigar!
04:30Ha-ha-ha!
04:32Wow!
04:34Is he gonna come here
04:35and blow things up, Mr. Wilson?
04:37Eh, what-what?
04:38No, Dennis.
04:39But I am going to see if I can track him down.
04:43Beta Pi! Beta Pi!
04:44I'm a pie guy, Jim.
04:46I die!
04:49I bet we can find some b-b-bolt cutters
04:52in that garage down there.
04:53And that's where we go
04:55after dark.
04:57Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
04:58Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
05:00Yeah.
05:03Hey, Martha.
05:04Hey, Martha, quick!
05:06I think there's a burglar in the Mitchell house!
05:08Oh, my!
05:09It could be those escaped convicts on the news!
05:11Call the police!
05:12We could get one drink, Ruff.
05:16Then we have to go right back to bed.
05:19Ruff!
05:24Whoa!
05:25Whoa!
05:31Hey!
05:32We can change out of these prison duds, too!
05:36Better sneak up from the back.
05:40Gee!
05:41I wonder what Dad's doing now.
05:47That must be the hook.
05:50Maybe he came early to play a secret joke
05:53on Dad and Mr. Wilson.
05:55Well, I know how to make him feel right at home.
05:57Oh!
05:58Oh!
05:58Oh!
05:59Oh!
05:59Oh!
05:59Oh!
05:59Oh!
05:59Oh!
06:00Oh!
06:00Oh!
06:01Oh!
06:01Oh!
06:02Oh!
06:02Oh!
06:03Oh!
06:03Oh!
06:04Oh!
06:04Oh!
06:05Oh!
06:05Oh!
06:06Oh!
06:06Oh!
06:07Oh!
06:08Oh!
06:08Oh!
06:09Oh!
06:16Oh!
06:16Oh!
06:17Reach for the sky, Mr. The Hook!
06:33Get it! Stop it! Stop it! It's me!
06:39Gee, Mr. Wilson, I thought you were The Hook.
06:42I can't believe this. All right, that does it. We're through.
06:45From now on, I want you to pretend you don't know me.
06:48Okay, Dennis.
06:50Wow. Is this like Eternity Game, Mr. Wilson?
06:53Sure. Forget I exist, and you'll be a Beta Pi guy for life.
07:00Got the prowler.
07:02Wow. Just like Beverly Hills Cops 911.
07:05Yeah, what? No. Dennis, tell them it's a mistake.
07:10You know this guy, kid?
07:11Mm-mm. I sure don't, officer. I don't even know he exists.
07:17Dennis! This is a mistake!
07:22What on earth is going on?
07:24Dennis, why is Mr. Wilson being arrested?
07:27It's a game, Dad. I pretended I didn't know him, and he...
07:32What? Why are you looking at me like that?
07:35Young man, you march into that house right this minute.
07:41The only problem with being an only child at times like this
07:44is you got no one else to blame, Ruff.
07:49Boss, let's get out of town tonight.
07:52Hey, hey. Not so fast.
07:54Let's lie low in that vacant house.
07:57We're not through with this town yet.
08:00Ha-ha-ha-ha!
08:04Martha, Dennis has turned me into a total wreck.
08:11Oh, no.
08:12If that's the toe-headed terror,
08:14tell him I'm still in jail.
08:17Hi-ya, Mrs. Wilson.
08:19Oh, hi, Dennis.
08:21George isn't up yet.
08:23Well, I came to tell him I...
08:25I'm sorry he got sent up the river last night
08:28Because of me.
08:30Oh, I'm sure he forgives you, Dennis.
08:32After all, you were only doing what he asked.
08:36Well, anyway, I picked him this flower for his garden,
08:40because I know how the digging in the dirt calms him down a lot.
08:43Oh, how nice.
08:45I'll give it to him as soon as he gets up.
08:47Tell Mr. Wilson I'm going to let him sleep as long as he wants before the big game.
08:52See ya!
08:53I tell you, that boy is going to make me old before my time, Martha.
09:09Weeds.
09:12Come on, Joey.
09:13Let's go find some eternity secrets of our own.
09:16Holy cow!
09:18Hey, Joey, you know how Mr. Wilson says bald as a baby's bottom?
09:23Well, he just went out and bought some fake hair.
09:26If I look older than the Hulk when he comes here today,
09:29he'll never let me hear the end of it, Martha.
09:31Oh, George, you look fine.
09:33Where'd Mr. Wilson's real hair go anyway, Dennis?
09:37Don't you know anything?
09:39Joey, your hair goes back down into your head when you get old.
09:45No way!
09:47That's why Mr. Wilson gets confused a lot.
09:50The hair tangles his brain.
09:53Martha, does this toupee make me look younger than the other one?
09:59Martha?
10:00Hey, Martha!
10:06Hi, I'm Mr. Wilson.
10:09You don't sound like Mr. Wilson.
10:11Yes, I do.
10:12This is what I say when I pick up the newspaper.
10:14Oh, mercy six.
10:18Preserve me, Martha.
10:20Uh-oh.
10:22Hide!
10:26The heck with it.
10:27I'll wear the thickest doggone toupee I bought.
10:31Taking the cat for a walk, George.
10:42Yeah, what cat, Martha?
10:44Is it...
10:45Oh!
10:47Where is Dennis?
10:49I just know he had something to do with this.
10:53Boy, Mr. Wilson sure hit the roof when he found that cat on his head.
10:58Yeah, I guess it's a good thing he doesn't have a St. Bernard.
11:03Good morning, Dennis.
11:05Want to walk with me and my baby?
11:06I'd rather like mud off my high tops, Margaret.
11:11What are you guys doing anyway?
11:13Me and Dennis are starting an eternity club.
11:16It's a club with all kinds of secret stuff.
11:19And her own house, too.
11:20A house?
11:22Okay, I'll hang the curtains and be the mother.
11:25Kiss our baby, Dennis.
11:27Kiss this.
11:35Okay, this is a great place for eternity meeting.
11:40After I decorate, it'll be our love nest, Dennis.
11:43Then we'll get married and have a different room for each of our hundred babies.
11:47Can't a grip, Margaret, or six.
11:52What's that?
11:57A bunch of snotty brats playing around downstairs.
12:00Hey, we can make a club banner out of this old rug.
12:08Hey, it's the real Trinity Brothers I was telling you guys about from last night.
12:15Hey, you're supposed to be at Mr. Wilson's house to watch the big game with all the other eternity brothers in just a couple of old clocks.
12:24Hey, boss.
12:26He thinks we're on some kind of fraternity.
12:29Shut up and play along.
12:32So that rug thing was a big fraternity joke, huh?
12:36Beta pie, beta pie.
12:38Um, kiss the girls or make them cry.
12:42Oh, wait.
12:42That's not right.
12:43So tell me, kid, there's going to be a lot of people at this game, right?
12:49Sure.
12:49Hooping and hollering for your favorite teens.
12:53Must hurt a lot when you clap, huh?
12:56Uh, how would you kids like to join our fraternity, huh?
13:00Hooray!
13:02Bye!
13:03Bye!
13:03Bye-bye!
13:04Bye!
13:05Boy, oh boy.
13:07They sure were nice initiating us into a real-ternity.
13:10We should do something for them.
13:13Oh, yes.
13:13We should all go home immediately and write thank you notes.
13:17We should pin your pigtails to a bus out of town.
13:20I know what real-ternity brothers like best.
13:23Practical jokes.
13:25And here's exactly what we're going to do for them.
13:28Come here.
13:29Let me tell you what we're going to do.
13:30Oh, I'm so excited.
13:35The Hook and the others are going to be here for the big game in less than an hour.
13:39Well, Mr. Grouse, you seem in a much better mood than you were this morning.
13:43That's because this morning I hadn't Dennis-proofed our house yet.
13:47Every button on the remote is programmed to the big game.
13:50Dennis can't switch channels on me.
13:52The recliner is locked into my favorite position, weighted down by these bricks.
13:58Dennis is too small to move it, and he won't grow any bigger at our expense.
14:02I've sprinkled these cookies with pepper.
14:04One bite and Dennis will lay off our snacks for the rest of the day.
14:08George Wilson, you should be ashamed of yourself.
14:11Oh, I am.
14:13I am.
14:15Sorry I'm late, Mr. Wilson.
14:18Now try to stay out of trouble, Dennis.
14:20I'm making some last-minute adjustments on the TV.
14:23I'll be quiet as a church.
14:26Whoa.
14:33This tastes okay to you, Hot Dog?
14:43Dennis, don't tease the cat.
14:49Dennis!
14:50Dennis, you've made the cat sick.
14:55Okay, I'll watch cartoons.
15:00Your TV's busted, Mr. Wilson.
15:03No, Dennis.
15:04The TV works better than it ever has before.
15:14Your recliner's busted, Mr. Wilson.
15:16Whoa.
15:18Whoa.
15:19Whoa.
15:23Ah!
15:26Dennis!
15:30Nope.
15:31Your recliner's fixed.
15:32But your TV's busted for sure now.
15:35What on earth?
15:37Martha, now I gotta go borrow the TV from the Garden Club.
15:41Thanks to Dennis.
15:42Guess I blew it, huh?
15:45George brought this on himself.
15:47I know just how to make it up to him.
15:50Be right back, Mrs. Wilson.
15:55Welcome to Mr. Wilson's humble commode.
15:58He'll be so surprised to see you.
16:00He'll forget all about his TV.
16:02Until he finds his car missing.
16:05He he he he he he.
16:15Oh!
16:18Oh, my.
16:19Dennis, who are your friends?
16:22They're Mr. Wilson's eternity brothers from college.
16:24Good grub, lady.
16:29Uh, Mrs. Wilson.
16:33Goodness.
16:34I'm not sure they are who they say.
16:37Sure we are.
16:38Old Mr. Wilson and us go, uh, way back.
16:42Yeah.
16:43Way back before he lost all his hair, even.
16:46Oh, they do know George, then.
16:49I told you.
16:51And just watch Mr. The Hook pack away the groceries, just like Mr. Wilson said he could.
16:57Uh, yeah.
16:58Uh, look.
16:59We thought we'd go on a munchie run for you.
17:02Yeah, you won't mind if we take Mr. Wilson's, uh, I mean, uh, George's car.
17:07Uh, uh, Mr. Hook.
17:10Don't worry, Mrs. Wilson.
17:11I'll tell them right where the market is.
17:14There's a new market by the interstate.
17:18Good.
17:19The interstate?
17:20We like.
17:22Go down, Mason.
17:23Thanks a lot, kid.
17:27Beta Pi 1 to Beta Pi 2.
17:33The brothers are on their way.
17:38Hey, that's my car.
17:41Come on, Mr. Wilson.
17:43Want to see a great practical joke on Mr. The Hook?
17:46Dennis, that's not the hook.
17:48That's a crook.
17:49Martha, call the police.
17:52Uh-oh, I did it again.
17:55Stand by for a change of plans.
17:57Dennis, I need your bike.
18:00Cut through the Schmobocker's yard, Mr. Wilson.
18:03Well, uh-oh.
18:06Who's driving, you or me, Dennis?
18:08Yeah.
18:10Yeah.
18:11Ah.
18:13Beta Pi 1 to Beta Pi 2.
18:21Get ready for Operation Beta Pi in your eye.
18:24Who are you talking to?
18:26Ready, Beta Pi 1.
18:34Ready, Beta Pi 2.
18:37Ready, Beta Pi 3.
18:39Ready, Beta Pi 3.
18:39Ready, Beta Pi 3.
18:39Ready, Beta Pi 3.
18:43The only way out is down that alley.
18:46The only way out is down that alley.
18:47The only way out is down that alley.
18:48Ready, Beta Pi 2.
18:49Ready, Beta Pi 2.
18:50Today, the only way out is down that alley.
18:52This is a cartoon, a crew of the police.
18:53The only way out is down that alley.
18:53END
18:55The only way out is down that alley.
18:55The only way out is down.
18:57AHH!
18:58BOOTH!
18:58WAH!
18:58BOOTH!
19:00BOOTH!
19:01Oh, my God.
19:31Beta Pi, Beta Pi, we're the best in natural life.
19:39Wasn't that the funniest joke ever?
19:43Fine job, kids.
19:44We've been after these escaped convicts for two days now.
19:48What?
19:49Convicts?
19:50They'll be a big reward for you.
19:53All right!
19:57Dennis?
19:58I don't know what to say.
20:00They would have escaped without your great practical jokes.
20:04Wow!
20:06Beta Pi, Beta Pi!
20:08Beta Pi, Beta Pi, and that's no lie!
20:10Beta Pi, and that's no lie!
20:13Hey, Mr. Wilson!
20:16What is it now, Dennis?
20:19Is my flower going to hold up in here?
20:22It could die.
20:24Dennis, that's not...
20:26That is to say, come on.
20:30We've got work to do.
20:33Hurry back, you old whoopee cushion.
20:36Second half's about to start.
20:38Yeah, I've been saving a spot for it, Dennis.
20:40What about right here, Mr. Wilson?
20:45Uh, yes.
20:46Well, Dennis, I think I'd prefer to put it right there.
20:50It's gonna be the best flower here.
20:55Now, what do you say we get in there and root, root, root for the home team?
21:00What's this for, Mr. Wilson?
21:06Don't touch that, Dennis!
21:08Dennis!
21:08Dennis!
21:10What a liberty!
21:24Oh, no
21:25No
21:28No
21:30No
21:32No
21:33No
21:35No
21:36No
21:36No
21:39Big.
