03:26twenty three dollars for the neighborhood association the annual meeting is tomorrow night
03:33been a year already those people are relentless think if we showed up once they'd stop inviting us

03:44dead possum out of the chimney the smell has gotten so bad I can't tell when Jamie needs changing
03:50anymore you know if we just wait a few more weeks it'll disintegrate on its own tomorrow
03:55hell I'm sick of all those crows on the roof
03:58hey dad you think patriotism is a joke representative government is an outdated sham
04:08I can't believe my ears what are you talking about what did he say I can't even repeat it
04:14I'm sorry Lois but the chimney will just have to wait I'm taking Malcolm to the neighborhood
04:19association meeting let's hope seeing democracy in action will give our little cynic a wake-up call
04:25Chad I have to finish correcting everyone's homework it's been in your mouth a half an hour either spit it
04:37out or swallow it Dewey oh hey Francis you want to talk to mom no I called to talk to you me really
04:47yeah listen I'm up for a job as activities director to summer camp but I have to show
04:52them what kind of program I can put together I need you to help me you want my help yeah I have
04:59all these great ideas for games so I'm gonna come home tomorrow so I can play them with you you know
05:04to make sure they're fun enough so how does that sound like a setup for a cruel practical joke but I'm
05:10willing to take the risk excuse me we're here for the homeowners meeting oh my god really oh oh that's
05:28fantastic Jim Fitz oh I'm the associations attorney so where is everyone well I kind of am everyone no one's
05:39ever shown up for a homeowners meeting in 20 years you're kidding not one person not one not one I
05:47send out a hundred and fifty flyers every year exactly as mandated by the developer but nobody ever
05:55comes I've tried different fonts I've upgraded the doughnuts but people just don't seem to be
06:02interested so every year you rent a room and hold the meeting for nobody oh absolutely my contract with
06:09the developer is very clear in exchange for a two thousand dollar annual retainer I'm to conduct
06:17annual meetings take the minutes and manage the associations financial interests financial interest
06:24well actually there aren't any I I didn't mean to come off so self-important only the homeowners can
06:32decide where the money goes so I've just been putting the dues in a savings account the bank gave me a
06:39toaster in 1987 I never even opened the box so 150 homes paying 23 bucks over 20 years passbook interest minus a retainer oh my god if my math is right he's sitting at least eighty three thousand dollars who am I kidding of course my math is right
07:02you know it sure would be nice to have someone finally take charge of this thing would you ever
07:10consider being president of the neighborhood association I don't think so it sounds like work yeah what are you
07:19talking about of course you want to be president this is your chance to really do something for the
07:23community you can't turn this down you've always told me that a real citizen is willing to make sacrifices for
07:31the greater good that doesn't sound like and I took those words to heart they inspired me and now I have a chance to see
07:39my own dad show me what democracy is all about you can't deny me that it's not just for me it's for our family our block the
07:49whole neighborhood think of all the people you could help the world is waiting for you to make it a better place
07:56place well okay I'll do it finally this is exactly the reason I went into zoning law
08:26I don't see how this helps where's Dewey when I was his age I was out of school hours ago doing independent
08:42study at the library not smoking so it's exciting about the job yeah it's been a long hunt but it's
08:51finally paid off don't you have to have some kind of degree or something to work with children you
08:57never think anything I ever do is good enough I happen to do very well at that interview all I
09:02have to do now is just show them that I can put together a good program for the summer so you don't
09:07have the job I have the job what don't you understand about that I don't know it just sounds like the real
09:13estate thing all over again you just have faith in me for once shit play again sure you know who's
09:23hiring I have a job I am appalled this completion stitch is kinked young lady if you neglect your
09:36education you deny yourself the keys to success Joey wait I can't I have to get home to see my brother but
09:48I need you to help me with the algebra problems you gave me I went over those problems 20 times but my
09:55head past little magnet and I think I forgot everything I'm sorry I can't I can't do this anymore

10:26everyone turn in their assignments I have to take this one home with me it doesn't believe I have a cat
10:41it is three o'clock it is now time to clear your area I don't think you want to do anything physical
10:51with chaff do not test me young man I am an educator who is not afraid to use discipline
10:56ow ow
10:58all right now it's a matter for the police
11:06Dewey what do we do he's not here
11:10somebody do something
11:11excuse me mr. flerch
11:22well I think of the three ideas we had this was the best
11:33good job okay Dewey of all the things we did today what seemed like it could be more fun
11:49the rainbow obstacle course or the tickle maze or the shower of lollipops
11:56honest to god it was all fantastic it was by far the best day of my life
12:01I can make you happier
12:04president comma newcastle adjacent neighborhood association
12:12how that is so fancy feel the little duck that's embossed
12:17wow so how's my little bureaucrat fantastic
12:22I'm just finishing up the details and all the neighborhood initiatives you've been talking about
12:27I was yeah remember you said I hope I do a good job
12:31obviously that means structural improvements like installing lights at the basketball court and
12:37building a skate park and Friday night dance parties with a killer dj
12:41isn't that kind of expensive you have to think of it as an investment
12:45it's actually expensive not to do it
12:48there's 87 000 in the account wow
12:53well a lot of it gets eaten up servicing the infrastructure
12:56like there's no point in having a dj if we're not going to have a really rocking sound system
13:00why don't we just give the homeowners a refund check
13:03we could but then we wouldn't have the money for what you said was the most important thing
13:08security security's big
13:11i've been racking my brain trying to find a way to give every area equal protection
13:16i wish there was some magic kind of mobile security system that could weave through the neighborhood
13:23like a security car dad that's brilliant and then citizens from the neighborhood could drive
13:29the car around to make sure there's no trouble i don't know purchasing a car isn't the only expense
13:34you got to think about storage fees and wait we could park it at our house
13:39you have a real talent for this
13:54hey it's almost lunch time where's flerch
13:58i don't know you'd think he'd be here by now but he definitely isn't
14:04i know i'm so fed up i don't even think it's worth complaining about
14:07me neither
14:09listen guys i'm sorry i blew up at you yesterday i guess i just kind of needed a break
14:15forget it dewey we need to start doing things on our own and you know what i think we're already
14:21doing things we didn't think we were capable of
14:24doing things on our own
14:30three thousand eighty one did you pull an all-nighter yeah math i kept getting abused so i'm making a list of all the numbers
14:41three thousand eighty two
14:43what do they stop the state of the art rehearsal studio is essentially free because once the garage
14:54band makes it big the community gets ten percent of the record sales so it's basically the same
14:59business model as the extreme sports camp
15:01so did you get a chance to go through my proposal for a girls volleyball tournament
15:08well jim what are you doing here i had to share this with you
15:13what is it i was so inspired by what your son said that i went beyond the requirements of my retainer
15:22and wrote a new constitution for the neighborhood association pro bono of course it's designed so that
15:30everyone in the community will have an equal voice in all decisions i think it'll really get people
15:38participating that sounds great jim thanks no thank you for showing up at that meeting and
15:46and making me believe again wow what a jerk what why coming in here with his agenda like you're not
16:00doing a fantastic job when you are oh i i think he just wants the voice of the people to be heard you
16:07are the voice of the people you're the one with the vision you're the one with the amazing ideas
16:12tumbling out of you every second maybe not every second yes your brain is like a factory of ideas
16:21please do not close the factory you know sometimes it feels like a factory of course it does
16:27you are the leader of this community everybody recognizes it and they love you for it well don't
16:34worry son i won't let the people down
16:38okay dewey i got a pretty good handle on these games i just want to ask you some questions okay
16:45when i was shouting encouragement at you did it ever make you feel scared or angry what no good
16:54and when you lost a candy tag did it make you feel bad and want to hurt yourself what are you talking
17:00about francis these questions are weird hey i'm just trying to understand better dewey i mean i don't
17:07know all the right questions to ask kids like you what do you mean kids like me well you're in that
17:15class and this is a special camp for children with your needs i'm not emotionally disturbed what the
17:25hell is wrong with you there's nothing wrong with either of us i'm not in that class because i'm disturbed
17:32i'm in that class so i can help
17:36you're a jerk
17:40okay my games obviously have too much sugar

18:06still asleep i hate walking to school in the dark i have to run past people's houses so i don't catch
18:12their nightmares we have to tell dewey about this no this is exactly the kind of thing he doesn't want
18:19to be bothered with we can't handle taking care of flerch if he dies we're gonna have to tell everybody
18:24are you saying i'm not doing a good job feeding him i chewed his steak for 20 minutes before i gave it to

18:46i am not strong enough we have to keep his heart bumping use your legs chad help him breathe
18:54one two three breathe one two three breathe one two three breathe one two three breathe
19:09wait i saw this thing on tv once where they help the guy breathe but cutting a hole in his throat and
19:15then jamming a pen in it i've got a pen so many get scissors
19:24eddie i i for god's sake help me they're gonna kill me i'm sorry i assumed you could break dance
19:32i'm actually one 16th jericho myself dad you okay malcolm i couldn't sleep my mind has been on fire
19:48with the possibilities of what this neighborhood could become at first it seemed crazy and kind of
19:54stupid but then i remembered what you said about the factory in the middle of the night i had a vision
19:59you had a vision without me mulberry village mulberry village a new utopia what the hell is all this
20:09stuff oh just a few compulsory guidelines to help people make the transition failure to smile hello
20:16fifty dollar fine not knowing your neighbor's name 25 dollars failure to remove your fence a hundred
20:24dollars people can be resistant to change what's the hug your child initiative everyone has to publicly
20:31hug their child at least once a day a hotline will be set up so that children can inform on non-hugging
20:37parents you're gonna make kids inform on their parents parents neighbors teachers everybody if
20:43they've got nothing to hide they've got nothing to worry about tell me about the re-education center oh
20:50that's where the best most neighborly children will be plucked from the corrupting influence of
20:55their families and immersed in round-the-clock friendliness training i call them the mulberry youth
21:03dad give me the flyers thank you son but they've already been distributed throughout the neighborhood
21:10like a modern day martin luther i nailed them to the front doors
21:13uh maybe we should go out the back door and spend the rest of the day at the library
21:21now now malcolm the villagers are coming
21:28look i told you leave me alone i'm just gonna ask your teacher if i can have 10 minutes with your
21:34buddies at recess
21:42what the hell happened isn't it obvious i know we're not supposed to ask for help dewey but
21:51this one kind of got away from us
21:54if we're gonna get out of here let's go call the police
21:57you're just gonna bail you don't understand these kids
22:01if i fix this problem there's gonna be a hundred more it never stops with them
22:07dewey you don't get to choose the people who need your help
22:14look i don't know much but i do know two things these kids need your help you gotta do it
22:20and even though i never met them that guy is a total dink
22:42wow i thought when i decided to help something would come to me but i'm completely blank
22:48you're all going to jail if you untie me in the next five seconds you and you alone will see
22:53some slight leniency hey lanyards belong in the lanyard box what that's my lanyard i made it
23:04mr flourish is gonna flip out if you don't put it back in the lanyard box
23:09you couldn't have made this i bought out a truck stop 200 miles from here
23:18can i see that francis
23:23can you think of any connection between the thousands of lanyards that were made by the
23:28emotionally disturbed children at your school and this one my brother found for sale at a retail outlet
23:39mr jeffers i would be horrified to think that a public school principal would use innocent
23:46children as slave labor i don't know what you're talking about young man it was all his idea i'm just
23:53his obedient stooge he dangled assistant vice principal in front of me it came with parking
24:02i wonder who would get the worst penalty a bunch of emotionally disturbed kids who tied up people
24:11for a little while or the trusted public servant who forced them into slavery we could ask a judge
24:21or everyone could just keep quiet about everything
24:25is that okay to you guys
24:30that depends can we get five minutes along with these guys before you untie them
24:39what's up with mom she just sent my report card i flunked out of every single class
