## Dialogue

    Beaupre: We are going to Chicago.
    Unger: In the winter? I packed tropical.
    Beaupre: There are 14 houses. The toy car must be in one of them. We're gonna have to search them all. We'll come back when it's light.
    Unger: We're gonna work houses in broad daylight?
    Beaupre: It's the suburbs, Mr. Unger. Nobody's home during the day.
    Karen: You get in that bed, young man.
    Alex: Excuse me, but I saw a man in Karen Stephan's bedroom, a little older than Dad, and he was wearing butt inspection gloves.
    Karen: I have warned you about that telescope. You look through it long enough, you're gonna start seeing things, whether or not they're there.
    Alex: Well, I guess you have to be 35 before anyone around here listens to you.
    Karen: Don't get smart with me, Alex. Sick or not, I am very angry with you. You caused a lot of trouble today. Dad and I have to replace a door at the Stephans'. Do you think we're happy about that?
    Alex: I saw what I saw!
    [Mr. Unger and Mr. Jernigan meet Beaupre, who just found Alex's toy car, at the Alcott's house]
    Jernigan: It's a video camera. Someone's onto us.
    Unger: Do you think this really matters? Chip's in the car. We're at the airport in 45 minutes.
    Beaupre: Where's Alice?
    Alice: [as she pushes a baby stroller to the Alcott's shed] What happened?
    Beaupre: There's a woman in the house. I'll go back in and deal with her. Get the chip.
    [Beaupre then hands Alice the car]
    Jernigan: Unger. What's your position?
    Unger: Heading down Washington Street.
    Jernigan: I didn't copy. Where?
    Unger: I said, I'm heading to Wuh-ah-ah-ah...
    [Jernigan runs over Unger while driving]
    Unger: Stop, you nitwit!
    [the car stops and Unger collapses into the snow]
    Unger: I can't tell you how much I appreciate you hitting me with the minivan.
    Jernigan: Never let your emotions get the best of you. You weren't paying attention. You should have been more vigilant.
    Unger: You should've taken driver's ed. I'm gonna have bad knees when I'm old and I'll have Burton Jernigan to thank.
    [Alice has just split her pants open at the rear while on a secret spy mission]
    Alice: I need assistance. I'm exposed.
    [as Alice locks Mes. Hess the garage, intending to keep her from interfering]
    Mrs. Hess: What are you doing?
    Alice: I left my heart in San Francisco.
    Alex: Heads up!
    [unleashes booby trap that releases dumbbells on Beaupre and Unger]
    Alex: [donging is heard] Ouch.
    [Alice finds Beaupre and Unger lying on the doorstep]
    Alice: You got hit with a book?
    Unger: Books. Plural. A trunk full of books. And then a set of weights. We got hit twice, ya dumb broad.
    Alice: Excuse me, Mr. Unger. I didn't get taken down by an infant.
    Beaupre: We didn't anticipate the defense the boy would mount.
    Beaupre: [as he peeks into the mailslot of Alex's house] You can run, but you can't hide, Junior!
    Alex: Surprise!
    [he sprays black paint in Beaupre's eyes]
    Alex: What a loser.
    [Alex hides in the closet as Unger tries to unlock the door]
    Unger: I'm coming for you, shorty, to pay you back for all the misery you caused me.
    Alice: Mr. Unger, what are you doing?
    Unger: Kid's in the closet. Scaring him a little, just before I grab him. And behind door number one...!
    [he opens the closet door to see Alex isn't there; just shelves stacked with towels]
    Unger: [disapponted] ...towels.
    Jernigan: Hmph.
    Unger: I saw this door close.
    Alice: Idiot.
    [Alex is hiding in a bag hanging from the door]
    Unger: Would I make it up? Why? What's the point? We working on commission here?
    Jernigan: [hit in the groin by Alice's crowbar] You smacked my winkie!
    Alice: Well, if you changed your shorts once in a while, maybe you wouldn't have rats in your pants!
    Police Officer #1: Freeze!
    Unger: [in the pool frozen with Jernigan] You gotta be kidding me.
    Alex: There's a senior citizen across the street who's gonna need some soup and a doctor to look at her feet. There's two guys in our pool and a woman in our basement. The other one's gone.
    Agent Stuckey: [shows Alex a photo of Beaupre] Is this him?
    Alex: Yep.
    Agent Stuckey: For seven years, I've been after this guy. He always manages to slip away. Thanks.
    Mrs. Hess: I had the chicken pox when Herbert Hoover was in the White House.
    Alex: Oh, man. I hope they're not-- ( gasps and screams )
    Molly: Alex, slammed the toilet seat down on his thing again.
    Parrot: Bull's-eye.
    Karen: Alex! What happened?
    Stan: I had nothing to do with this. I'm innocent.
    Jack: I'll call back.
    Phone: All right.
    Jack: Alex!
