304 - Don't Go to Sleep

Viewer beware.
You're in for a scare.
Goosebumps.
How come Greg gets to go and I don't? Because you're a midget.
No one asked you.
All right, that's enough.
It's your turn to do the dishes, Matt.
- I should be back from class around 10:00.
- No way! Goin' out with Reese after the hockey game.
Be back about 11:00.
Love you.
Okay.
- Come on! I wanna go too.
- It's a school night.
- It's a school night for Greg.
- Well, Greg's 17, and you're 12.
- Greg, don't forget your coat.
- I'm fine.
- Greg, please.
- All right.
Please keep it down.
No way! That's awesome.
I'm sorry, honey.
I gotta make a call.
What? What's gonna happen now? How come she gets her own private line, and I don't? Talk to me in three years.
That's not fair.
Let me go to another room.
It's a zoo around here.
Hi, Deb.
Listen, I'm just leaving.
I'll be there in about five minutes.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
- Mom? - What is it, honey? I'm in a hurry.
I was wondering if I can move my room to the attic.
Where'd you get that idea? Well, it's just my room's so small, and I'll get more privacy up in the attic.
No, honey.
Don't be ridiculous.
It's out of the question.
- But why? - I said no.
That's not fair.
How come I never get anything I want? Greg gets to stay out late.
Pam gets her own phone line.
Look, honey, I know it's frustrating, but you won't be 12 forever.
Pretty soon you'll be able to do everything your brother and sister are doing.
I don't wanna be 12.
I hate being the youngest.
Sorry.
That's the way it is.
That's reality, Matt.
If you want anything, ask your sister.
You know, being grown up isn't always so easy.
Be glad you're 12.
Well, I'm not glad.
No way.
That's awesome.
What'd you say to him? No way.
Aaah! Hey, how's it goin'? You know somethin'? I don't care what anyone says.
I'm hangin' out here tonight.
Not old enough? Like what's gonna happen? Exactly.
Nothin'.
"That's reality, Matt.
" Reality Who needs it? I hate reality.
You know, being grown up isn't always so easy.
Be glad you're 12.
Sorry.
That's the way it is.
That's reality, Matt.
Mom, can I use the phone? No.
It's not yours.
How come he gets his own private line and I don't? Talk to me when you make the all-star team.
Good morning, champ.
Mm-wah! Good game last night.
You don't have to rub it in.
What are you talking about? You played a great game.
It's for you.
For me? Isn't it always? Hello.
Yeah, this is Matt Amsterdam.
Endorse? Endorse what? You wanna put my picture on a cereal box? Quit calling the house.
No, I told you guys, all endorsement offers go through Matt's agent.
Come on.
Let's go.
What? Come on.
It's game time.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
That's reality.
Nothing is so strange as fiction.
That's reality.
My agent's on the job.
That's reality.
Life is on a roll.
What's all this hockey stuff? Oh, look, honey.
I know you're worried about the game tonight.
Sure, the Panthers are tough.
But when you're leading the league in goals, you're a target.
You've got to take the game to a higher level.
A higher level? One hundred and 10%, Matt.
You've gotta take it to 110%.
The whole city's counting on you.
For what? I don't even play hockey.

Huh? Huh? Have you been up there the whole time I was gone? I fell asleep.
And I had the worst dream.
Oh, hi, Mom.
Oh, it's just my mom.
It was horrible.
Everyone was trying to make me do things that were way too hard for a kid.
Didn't you even notice Matt was up in the attic the whole time I was gone? - Uh, I guess not.
I don't know.
My brother was up in the attic.
And there were these men chasing me these men in black.
- There's this really cute guy - And then the reality judge sentenced me.
Mom? Are you listening to me? Yes, honey.
I'm sorry.
You had a bad dream.
Listen, Matt, I've been thinking.
Maybe you are old enough to move your room up into the attic.
If that's what you really want to do, it's okay with me.
Gosh.
I don't know.
I thought that's what you wanted.
Well, I did.
You know what? I think I'm gonna stay out of the attic from now on.
Okay, if that's what you want.
It is.
And you know what? - What? - Life is good just the way it is.
And I think I'm gonna go to bed in my own room now.
Hold on a second.
Didn't you leave some things up there? I guess.
Yeah.
Well, bring 'em down before you go to bed.
I don't wanna go back up there.
Hurry up.
And as for you, young lady It was just a dream, Matt.
It was just a dream.
Back to reality just good old boring reality.
Boring? Oh, Matt, the fun's just beginning.
