Plot
Synopsis
The siblings try to avoid being seen at the movies with their parents for fear of looking "uncool".
Story
Dawn and Mack make a pact to see a movie together but when cool Moses tells them that going to movies with parents is uncool, Dawn decides to bail by faking to be sick. Since Tom and Anne still want to see a movie with the kids, the quads push them into going to another theatre to avoid being seen with their parents by their classmates.
When Dawn sees Mack at the movie complex going to the auditorium showing the movie they planned to see together, she assumes that Mack is betraying their movie buddy pact. So, she sends him an angry Dawn voicemail. After realizing that she's gone too far, she enlists her brothers to help get Mack's phone and delete the message before Mack listens to it. Needless to say, this leads to a lot of shenanigans. When Mack eventually busts the quads, Dawn apologizes and explains the situation. Moses sees them and starts laughing at them for coming to the complex with their parents. A lot of other students from Edgewood School stand up and admit that they had gone to the distant movie theater just to avoid being seen by Moses and other classmates.
Things backfire on Moses when his mother shows up and reveals that Moses only gets to go to movies alone because she works at the movie theatre. The kids admit that there's nothing embarrassing about going to movies with their parents.
