Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

Boys' Early Arrival Sparks Positive Remarks

Susan Oh, you boys are five minutes early. Did you have a good time?

[as Greg and Rodrick return home and checks the time on her watch]

Greg A great time.

Mrs. Kohan That is so sweet.

Mr. Saltz I just can't get over how well your boys get along.

Frank Well, Larry, we run a pretty tight ship around here. It's all about boundaries, rules. Anyway, let me show you some of those Civil War re-enactment photos I was telling you about.

[connecting the camera to the TV]

Susan So, what did you boys do?

Rodrick Just hung out at the mall. And talked about life. Just nothing. Nothing special.

[stuttering]

Susan Oh, my God.

Frank Rodrick, can you explain what you're doing in this photo?

[turns to Rodrick; curiously]

Rodrick That's not me.

Frank That's not you?

Rodrick Nope.

Frank Okay. How bout these? I can't believe that you had a PARTY!

[scrolls through his camera, showing more photos of Rodrick's party; Susan presses her hand on her heart, shocked with horror; then sets the camera down as it stops on the last photo of Greg and Rowley; angrily to Rodrick]

Susan Greg, you told me it was a couple of kids, a band rehearsal!

Frank Wait, Susan, you knew about this?

Susan Yes. Yes, I knew.

Rodrick You told Mom?!

[shocked; to Greg]

Frank I knew they had a party!

Greg It slipped out, but I took it back!

Susan My instincts told me you weren't being honest! I should've trusted my instincts!

Frank Wait! You knew about this, but you didn't tell me about it?

Greg I still protected you! I threw Mom off your scent!

Rodrick Great job. She has no idea!

Frank We are supposed to be a team against them!

Susan They were getting along so well, I let it blind me to the truth!

Rodrick Why were you taking pictures?!

Greg It was so crazy that morning, I forgot we took the pictures.

Susan So I let it slide. And I am so sorry. Oh, God. It feels so good to get that out. I haven't been able to look at that bathroom door for two weeks!

[points to the bathroom door]

Frank I knew that door had a lock on it! And everybody was trying to make me feel like I was losing my mind!

Mr. Salz We're-We're just gonna let ourselves out. I wouldn't wanna write a column about this.

[closes the door]

Frank I'm going upstairs. To a bathroom that has a lock on it, and no one can tell me that it doesn't.

Susan I have to go talk to your father. I will deal with you boys, later.

[to her sons; sighs sharply]

Greg Rodrick, I really didn't tell her! I mean maybe, sort of, but I made a deal with her and we had a really good time and…

Rodrick You're my brother. But you'll never be my friend.

[bitterly; walks upstairs]

Susan Your father I have talked, and we've decided on your punishment.

Frank Greg, you're grounded for two weeks. Also, no video games for two weeks.

Susan Rodrick, you may only drive to and from school for the next month. As the ringleader, you are also grounded for a month.

Rodrick Mom, I'm sorry, and I won't do it again.

Susan I know you won't. And to make sure, we're also not allowing you to perform in the talent show.

Rodrick What? No. No, you can't do that. Ground me for a year (instead), I don't care, but you have to let me play in that show! This could be my big break.

[shocked]

Susan Sorry.

Rodrick Dad, come on, this isn't fair. I just got Bill in the band!

[upset]

Frank Actually, Rodrick, that doesn't help your case. Bill's kind of a jerk.

Susan Our decision is final.

Rodrick You are so dead.

[whispers angrily to Greg]
