Lois: Can we please just eat our breakfast and stop all this complaining?
Hal: But I don't understand. Why do we have to volunteer for the whole first week?
Lois: Because we got caught, Hal. We ducked out for 12 years. They were bound to get us eventually. Dewey, come here. Listen, you're going to be coming home from school at 3:00 this year. So this is the key to the house. You will come straight home, you will let yourself in and you will be in this house alone until your brothers get here exactly 15 minutes later, and not one second more! We're giving this to you because we trust you.
Hal: Congratulations. You're now a latchkey kid.
