E.
Look at that an anaconda.
What? How could an anaconda get to Denver? - Who knows? - Maybe some kid went to Florida.
On vacation with his grandparents, Brought a baby snake back.
Maybe the kid named him snappy.
Maybe when snappy got too big, the kid freaked out.
And set him free.
Just a guess.
Anyway, This is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Do we really have to be so secretive? Are you kidding? Do you have any idea what would happen if my mom found out? So when I pick you up tonight, What do we say we're doing? Don't worry.
I'll come up with something.
I'm a pretty good actress.
Okay, first of all, In this family, I am the greatest actress.
Second of all, nobody fools mama ames.
You bet.
Now, Charlie, when you're Teddy's age, You're not going to try to get away with stuff, are you? Yes, I will.

All better.
P.
J.
, we need to talk.
I've got a dangerous mission for you.
Mitch, I am not trying the chocolate shake again.
I need you to find out.
Who is stealing chicken from the store.
Why would someone steal our chicken? Haven't they tasted it? I don't know, but Corporate is really busting my giblets about this.
So I am putting my best man on it.
- You.
- Oh! Cool.
Any idea who the thief is? Okay, I'm pretty sure it's an inside job.
- So it could be Justin - Okay, your meal was $3.
And you gave me a $5, so Don't help me.
I got this.
Then there's Val, the vegetarian Here's your murdered chicken.
And finally, big Lenny.
You gonna finish that? So what do you think, kid? Who's the master chicken thief? Gut instinct? I gotta go with Justin.
Three from five Or was it five from three? Think, Justin.
Think.
Or Val.
Could be Val.
So once the snake takes the meat, Then I slip that over his neck.
And then once I got him, I turn to your camera and I say, "take a break, snake!" Ha.
Dad, I wouldn't overthink the once-I've-got-him part.
You know what? I still need a catchphrase, Something Tom cruise can say when he plays me in the movie.
How about, "boy, have I been miscast"? Uh, Gabe, I don't believe you've met.
Denver's least-favorite animal-control officer.
Hello, quint.
What are you doing here, bug boy? There's a monster snake on the loose, not a termite.
Yeah.
Shouldn't you be getting some old lady's Kitty out of a tree? Hmm? Muffin can wait.
Firi'm bringing in that cold-blooded beast out there.
Have you ever caught anything like this before? Does this answer your question? That's a t-shirt.
I'm here to catch a snake, not a cold.
See that scar? I got that tangling with a great white.
- Shark? - Labradoodle.
Those things are fierce.
Face it, Duncan, You're out of your league.
You're an exterminator! What are you going to do, tent the Lake? Uh, no.

Duncan.
I will.
"table for three.
" Oh! Do not be alarmed.
I am not an intruder.
P.
J.
, what are you doing? I'm going undercover to figure out.
Which one of my co-workers is stealing chicken.
And you think they're going to open up when they see Gandalf? You got a better idea? Yeah, wear a wire.
Yes! I love it.
What's a wire? A recording device.
You wear it under your clothes.
And then you can use what the people say against them.
Cool.
I'll wear a wire.
- Yeah.
- I'll be like a spy.
A spy from middle earth.
And I'll be like your brother.
From planet earth.
Oh, movie my butt.
Party time's over.
You're doing a show Without me!? So this is what you've been doing? Rehearsing a musical behind my back? Teddy, when did you stop loving me? Mom, I was hoping you wouldn't find out this way.
Actually, I was just hoping you wouldn't find out.
And you're doing "franny saves the farm"? That's my favorite musical of all time.
Not only that, she's playing franny.
Don't help me, Franklin.
Hey, let's let's take a five, everybody.
Oh, Teddy, why would you keep this from me? I could have helped you, taught you, mentored you.
Yeah, and those are three of the reasons I didn't tell you.
What are you trying to say? Mom, anytime I try to do something.
That has to do with performing, you get involved.
And you don't just get involved; you take over.
Well, I'm sorry, Teddy.
Okay? I love the spotlight.
But in fairness, Not as much as the spotlight loves me.
Mom, I would like for you to not make this about you, Just this one time.
Please, could you just be my mom? Moms bring flowers, They sit in the audience and they watch their kids.
- Well, I - Quietly.
Well I'm sorry I've been such a terrible mother.
No no, mom, I didn't I told you the spotlight loved me.
Clark, cut it out.
14 miles per hour Well, time to get some sleep, Gabe.
Got a snake to catch tomorrow.
Hey, dad, have you ever knocked out a grizzly bear with one punch? Well, let me think.
Uh, no.
You know who has? Quint.
How do you know that? I'm reading this blog.
It's called "quint while you're ahead.
" Man, is he tough! Hey, I'm just as tough as quint.
I don't know, dad.
Maybe you should leave the snake catching to him.
I mean, you're an exterminator.
You set off bug bombs and run.
I have to run, Gabe.
It's government mandated.
Time to catch a chicken thief.
So glad you all could come over, Justin, Val and big Lenny.
And we're away from work, So we can really let our hair down.
I let my hair down at work all the time.
I lost a scrunchie in the Cole slaw once.
Come on, guys, this is our chance to bond, Share our hopes, our dreams, Our darkest secrets.
Who wants to go first? Lenny? I'm hungry.
Good start.
Not a secret, but good start.
If we're telling secrets, why don't you go first? Okay.
Okay.
Uh, sometimes I steal supplies from work.
Anybody want to piggyback on that? - I took a straw once.
- Yeah yeah.
But I felt so bad, I brought back two.
- Ahem.
Ah - What was that? - What was what? - Sounded like feedback.
I didn't hear anything.
Mom, what are you doing here? Well, it is children's theater.
I thought Charlie might like it.
And she has something for you.
Aw, Charlie, thank you.
Okay, come on, sweetie, let's go.
Oh, mom, wait.
Um About what I said yesterday, I was out of line.
And? And I'm really sorry.
And? That's all I got.
Okay.
Well, you may not have been entirely wrong.
It might be possible.
That I have a small problem.
With the spotlight.
Mom, we're backstage.
The lights are out front.
That's what I hate about backstage.
Anyway, this is your moment to shine.
So as we say in the theater, - Break a leg.
- Oh.
Terrible news Franklin just broke his leg.
- He can't do the show.
- Well, what are we going to do? I've got to find somebody to play banker Jones, Somebody who knows the part.
Okay, I swear I had nothing to do with this.
Yeah, good day to catch a snake.
You're right! It was.
I caught him an hour ago, took him to the zoo.
You did? Well, then what are you doing here? Came back to do this.
Nnnngg! Aw, man, was that quint? Great.
So I missed the coolest guy in the world.
Because I had to get your potato chips.
Hey, the point is, did you get 'em? So did quint see the snake? Yeah, matter of fact, he did.
And then he And then he left Because he was afraid.
- Quint's afraid? - Yeah.
Can you believe that? Coolest guy in the world.
Leaves because he's afraid.
But you know who isn't afraid? Your old man.
And I am putting an end to this once and for all.
All right.
Come and get it, snappy! Dad, are you sure about this? Hey, a man's got to do what a man's got Oh man! This water is cold.
What's he doing out there? - Catching the snake.
- What? - Duncan, I was lying! - What? I didn't catch the snake! Yes, I am in the Lake! - Dad, come back.
- I was just trying to get rid of you.
- What? - Whoa.
Is that a log floating towards him or Sna-a-a-ake! Snake in the Lake! Get the truck, get the truck, get the truck, get the truck! Get the truck! Like father, like son.
A couple of scaredy cats running from a stupid log.
Uh-oh.
So that's it? You learned nothing? I learned big Lenny combs his beard with a fork.
So we'll never find out who's stealing the chicken.
Corporate is going to be devastated.
This is going to haunt me forever.
- Oh well! - You know, funny thing though.
After the party, I came back here to look at our security-camera footage.
We, uh, have security cameras? Yeah.
Yeah, and it showed this guy who looks just like you.
Taking boxes of chicken out of the storage fridge.
Do you by chance have an evil twin brother? I don't recall.
Then your brother put the stolen chicken in his car.
- You got that on tape? - Uh-huh.
And here's the crazy part Your brother drives the exact same car that you do.
I guess that makes sense though.
I mean, you are twins.
All right! Quit toying with me.
I confess.
I stole the chicken.
So I could open my own place, "mitch's discount poultry hut.
" Wait.
So you don't have a twin brother? Stop it, kid.
You got me, all right? Okay.
Well, I'm confused.
If you were the one stealing the chicken, Why did you ask me to catch a chicken thief? I mean, I'm your best man, right? I never thought someone so stupid could catch me.
Well, look who's stupid now.
'cause I just caught you and your twin brother.
Right? franny, since I can't pay they're going to take my sweet farm away don't you worry, dry your eyes 'cause I just brought you a big surprise - who is this? - I'm the banker - with your money - You should thank her you mean I won't have to lose my farm after all? all it took was one little call franny saved the farm franny saved the farm franny saved the farm farm! .
Well, Charlie, You were a little chicken.
And apparently so was dad.
Hey hey! I was not chicken.
I was exiting the Lake in a rapid fashion.
No, dad, it's all right.
I'd rather have a live coward than a dead hero.
Oh, thank you, son.
Yeah.
Live hero would have been the best, but Of course.
I mean, if you're going to rank them, You'd want your live hero, live coward.
Yeah.
You know, dead hero, dead coward.
Yeah, dead coward.
Those guys are losers.
Hey, do you guys mind? I'm trying to do a video diary here.
Just say "good luck, charlie" and be done.
Look, it's not that easy.
It's Good luck, Charlie.
Huh.
Down here.
Oh, hey, it's you.
Hello, snappy.

While I get us some ice cream"? Well, I got ice cream.
But you never came back.
