I want to speak with you, son. Alone, please, Bill. All right, sit down. What am I going to do with you? Great. You lose my keys, you fail history. You spend all your time with your loser friend... ...planning a band that will never happen. You're not to leave this house until tomorrow morning. Yes? Capt. Logan, this is Dep. Van Halen down at the station.

Dep. Van Halen? I'm new, dude... sir. Look, we found your keys... ... and if you want them, you better come and get them. When I get back from the station, I want you packed and ready to go. Got it? We are in serious trouble. My dad already signed me up. My plane leaves tomorrow night. That's only if we fail, dude. No way!
