Amy thinks her father has bought her the perfect gift: a new ventriloquist's dummy. However, it soon becomes apparent that there is more to this dummy than meets the eye.

00:30Ghost house, you will beware, you're in for a scare.
01:00I call it home sweet home. I mentor you to the city art show.
01:14Sarah, that's just beautiful.
01:16It belongs in a museum. Nice work.
01:19She showed us the exact same picture on the last family night.
01:24Amy, wait your turn.
01:30This week, I thought it would be nice to show a movie I made all about us.
01:38There's mom sticking to her diet again.
01:48And dad's getting his hair just right.
01:54Here's how come Sarah hogs the bathroom so much.
02:08Jack, you're such a pain.
02:12Guess whose new sweater Amy's trying.
02:15You little geek.
02:18Amy, where's your sense of humor?
02:21Amy, where's your sense of humor?
02:23Yeah, I could win a fortune on that fractured family video show.
02:27How many times do I have to tell you not to try on my clothes?
02:29That's not very nice. Next time, ask to use the camera.
02:33Sorry. Now can I have my turn?
02:42So Dennis, how was your family picnic? Were you bothered by any ants?
02:46No, worse, termites. You've heard of the Terminator.
02:49Well, we had to call it the X-Terminator.
02:54That's the best part.
02:56This is so embarrassing. You suddenly get a new one.
02:59So I did. Why don't you look behind the couch?
03:03Really? You really got me a new dummy?
03:05Well, almost new.
03:08I was passing the second-hand store near my office.
03:12There he was, just sitting in the window.
03:16Oh, wow, he's great.
03:18Slappy?
03:20Daddy, thank you.
03:33Karu, Mary, Donna, Loma, Molyneux, Carano?
03:40Sounds like a foreign language or something.
03:42It probably means, it takes a dummy to want a dummy.
03:46You and I are going to make a great team. I just know it.
04:05It's nice to meet you, Slappy.
04:07It's nice to meet you too, Amy.
04:09It's nice to meet you too, Amy.
04:11It must be great to have a new home.
04:13You got that right, kiddo.
04:15Amy.
04:16Amy.
04:17If I catch you in my room again, you're toast. Got it?
04:20I was just trying it on. I didn't hurt your dumb sweater.
04:23Well, just stay out. Now go to bed.
04:25Don't have to.
04:26Yeah, we don't have to.
04:29Come on. Mom says so.
04:31That's weird.
04:34Look, Dennis. Here's your new friend, Slappy.
04:42Good night, Slappy.
04:44Good night, Dennis.
05:04Dennis.
05:07Have Dennis.
05:33Mom. Dad.
05:36Sarah, what is it?
05:37It's ruined. Just look.
05:39It's totally destroyed.
05:41Oh, wow.
05:44I didn't think it was destroyed.
05:46It must have been lost to the wind.
05:48I don't like that.
05:49You don't like that?
05:51What?
05:52You don't like that?
05:54I don't like what you're saying.
05:56I don't want to talk about that.
05:58You don't like what I'm saying?
06:00I don't.
06:02Wow. What'd you do that for?
06:05I didn't do it. I found this out in the hall.
06:07How could you? You're always jealous of my art.
06:10I didn't. Why would I?
06:11So who did? The tooth fairy?
06:13Pretty dumb, Amy. Even I wouldn't try and get away with that.
06:16Jed, stay out of it.
06:18We'll talk about this later. Now go get dressed.
06:20I'm always waiting for everything around here.
06:33Amy! You'll miss your bus!
06:36Coming!
06:39I'm sorry you had to end up with such a bizarre family, Sloppy.
06:45Eww. Red paint?
06:49What's going on?
06:57How did this get here?
07:02I don't know.
07:10If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
07:15If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
07:19If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it.
07:24If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
07:29Thank you, thank you, thank you, ladies and germs.
07:32And now I'd like to turn the family night stage over to Amy Kramer and her little pal, Sloppy.
07:37Take it away, Amy.
07:45Hey there, family. Nice to see you.
07:48So, Sloppy, how do you like being part of the Kramer family so far?
07:51It's fantastic, but then my last family was a pine tree.
07:56So, what did you think of Dad's song?
07:59That was your dad? Well, what a relief. I thought the cat got stuck in the dishwasher.
08:03Amy, that's not very nice.
08:05Sloppy.
08:06And how about that mother of yours?
08:08She went to a store and asked a clerk if he had anything her size and he told her to try the freight elevator.
08:12Amy.
08:14But it's not me, it's him.
08:16Oh, right. The dummy made me do it.
08:18I wouldn't laugh. You're such a booger brain, you tried to grow an eggplant by burying a chicken.
08:22Cut it out.
08:23Cut it out.
08:24You call yourself an artist?
08:26Why don't you give up brushes and try using a roller?
08:28Is this supposed to be funny?
08:30No, I can't stop him. Help me get him off.
08:32Hey, keep it easy on the stretch.
08:34I can.
08:35Amy, what's gotten into you?
08:37Kids, come on, get a grip in there.
08:40I'm not saying those things.
08:42Okay.
08:43Sloppy is.
08:45Okay, young lady, that's enough.
08:47Up to bed and take the dummy with you.
08:55Who are you?
08:57What are you?
08:59Talk to me.
09:02Maybe I am crazy, but not crazy enough to let you do the talking for me.
09:10Wow, this poster is turning out great.
09:14So, you think Shane's going to ask you to the dance?
09:16I wish, but I can always go with Tyler.
09:18Alicia, what have you got there?
09:20Dolls, I found them.
09:22Sorry, she's such a snoop.
09:24That's okay, it's not like I play with them anymore.
09:26How come I always get stuck babysitting and Tina never has to?
09:29It's because you're in the middle.
09:31The oldest one gets to do whatever they want, the youngest gets away with everything.
09:34I'm not going to play with you.
09:36I'm not going to play with you.
09:38I'm not going to play with you.
09:40I'm not going to play with you.
09:42The oldest one gets to do whatever they want, the youngest gets away with everything.
09:44It's like a rule or something.
09:46Sometimes I wish I didn't have any brothers or sisters.
09:48Yeah, tell me about it.
09:53Amy, you're in big trouble.
09:55Who said you could go into my room and steal my markers?
09:57I didn't steal them, we were just borrowing them.
09:59Well, you're using them up.
10:01You never even asked, I told you to stay out of my room.
10:03Just stay out of my life.
10:05Hi, Slappy, my name's Alicia.
10:09Alicia, don't touch that.
10:12She won't hurt it.
10:16He said he couldn't breathe in there.
10:18Hey, Marco, you can forget about Shane.
10:20He thinks you've got a face like a can of worms.
10:22Amy, stop it, I didn't say it, he did.
10:25He's funny.
10:27Hey, he won't let me go.
10:29Amy, let's out.
10:31Stop it, let her go.
10:33Let me go.
10:35Help me.
10:38Let me go right now.
10:40Let me go.
10:46Let me go right now.
10:48Make him stop, make him stop.
10:50Amy, what are you doing?
10:52I'm not doing anything, stop it, let her go.
10:54What in the world?
10:56Uh-oh.
11:01Are you all right?
11:03Stay away from her.
11:05What is going on up here?
11:07Slappy grabbed Alicia and he wouldn't let go.
11:09He's a big fat liar.
11:13I don't ever want to see you again, not ever.
11:16Marco, it wasn't me.
11:19Amy, this has gone far enough.
11:21You are staying in your room until your father gets home.
11:23I don't want to hear another word about that dummy.
11:36This can't be happening.
11:39This can't be happening.
11:47Amy, this isn't funny.
11:49You can't keep blaming a doll
11:51for things you don't want to take responsibility for.
11:54Slappy's not a doll, he's a dummy.
11:57I can't help it if he's haunted or something.
11:59Why won't anybody believe me?
12:02Amy, this is just getting too weird.
12:05Weird with a capital W.
12:07Come on now, you two.
12:09We're here to help Amy as a family, not to criticize.
12:11Look, I know it's hard to believe,
12:13but there's something going on.
12:15Something I can't explain.
12:17Yeah, right.
12:19Pumpkin, when I was your age,
12:21I had two older brothers and a baby sister to deal with.
12:23I know what it feels like to be caught in the middle.
12:26Nobody's listening to me.
12:28It's all Slappy's fault.
12:32Amy, if you really and truly believe
12:34that Slappy is responsible for all this,
12:36then maybe we need to get some help.
12:38You mean like a doctor or something?
12:40Like a total head shrinker.
12:42Sarah!
12:44I'm not making this up!
12:48Can I watch TV now?
12:53What?
13:34Huh?
14:05What in the...
14:07Amy!
14:12Oh, Amy, how could you?
14:14He was gonna hit Dad.
14:16I had to stop him.
14:18Who was? What are you talking about?
14:22Amy.
14:24I didn't do it. He did.
14:26Okay.
14:28This stops here and now.
14:30But...
14:32Amy, I want you back upstairs
14:34and in bed now.
14:36We'll discuss this in the morning.
14:59Way to go, Amy.
15:01Why? I never did anything.
15:03Ted, Sarah, get ready for school.
15:06I am ready.
15:08They want to talk to Amy alone.
15:14Amy, your mother and I have talked about this.
15:17And we want you to tell us what you think we should do.
15:20You mean like a punishment?
15:22I think we both know that's not the answer.
15:25This is about a lot more than wrecking your father's guitar.
15:28Amy, we want to help,
15:30but we can't begin to understand what's happening here
15:33if you keep blaming Slappy for everything.
15:36I'm telling the truth.
15:43I'm late for an open house.
15:50When you're ready to tell us what's really bothering you,
15:53then we'll talk. Is that clear?
16:01This is going to be a really cool dance.
16:04Yeah.
16:06Let's put up a few more signs here
16:08and then let's go down to the next block.
16:11It's going to be the best day ever.
16:13Hi, Margo.
16:31You're never going to hurt me again, ever.
16:35Hey, kid, wait, wait!
16:37Hey, come on!
16:49So why'd you do it?
16:51Really?
16:53Do what? Wreck Dad's guitar.
16:55You knew you couldn't get away with it.
16:57There's no point in me telling you the truth
16:59because you think I'm crazy anyways.
17:01Well, tell Dad to wipe his stupid feet!
17:24Hey, Amy.
17:26Guess who?
17:29Keep away from me.
17:31We're partners, Amy, remember?
17:33Wasn't very nice of you to dump me in the sewer like that.
17:37What do you want?
17:39Don't you get it yet? You can't get rid of me.
17:41What are you talking about?
17:43Don't you remember, Amy? You spoke the words.
17:45Peru, Marie, Odana, Loma.
17:47Molyneux, Carano?
17:49You and I are one now.
17:51Inseparable. You are my slave.
17:53No, I'm not going to be your slave. You can't make me.
17:56I can make you do anything I want.
17:58You have no choice. Your whole family thinks you're crazy.
18:00I've seen to that.
18:03We'll lock you up.
18:05Make it easy on our visiting days.
18:07No!
18:09Amy, I can hurt you and your family in a hundred ways.
18:12No, I won't let you.
18:14Amy.
18:16Sarah, he's...
18:23Hey, Sarah.
18:25Wanna play?
18:29Hey, what's going on?
18:33Run, but you cannot hide.
18:40What are we going to do?
18:42I can't believe it.
18:49See? I told you.
18:51No one will believe me.
18:53I'm sorry. I believe you now.
18:59I think he's gone.
19:02Jed!
19:12Jed? Jed, are you okay?
19:28Jed?
19:38Jed?
19:44Yoo-hoo!
19:46Looking for somebody?
19:49I've seen better swings on playgrounds.
19:53Where is he?
19:55Where'd he go?
19:59Gotcha!
20:02Amy!
20:08From now on, this family belongs to me.
20:12You're mine, Amy. You're mine.
20:29What was that?
20:31What's going on here?
20:35Amy was telling the truth.
20:37Sammy was after us, and then he turned on the lights.
20:39But Jed saved us.
20:41What? Slow down.
20:43Yeah. What's going on?
20:45What'd I do?
20:47If you didn't do this,
20:49you wouldn't be here.
20:51You wouldn't be here.
20:53You wouldn't be here.
20:55You wouldn't be here.
20:57If you didn't do it,
20:59then who?
21:06It's good to be back in the family again.
