Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules2011

[Frank and Susan wait in front of the stairs sternly as Greg and Rodrick come down]

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

Frank:
Greg, you are 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're 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:
[shocked] What? No. No, you can't do that! Ground me for a year, I don't care, but you have to let me play in that show. This could be my big break.

Susan:
I'm sorry.

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

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

[Rodrick gives a silent "What?"]

Susan:
Our decision is final.

[Greg looks silently at Rodrick; upset with his punishment, who goes upstairs, and Greg follows suit]

Rodrick:
[silent] You are so dead.
