TRUST ME, BOYS.

NO ONE ELSE WILL THINK TO MEET DANNY KOSTAS BEFORE SCHOOL.

WHOA.

NO ONE? HALF THE TOWN IS HERE.

YES! BUT...

HALF THE TOWN ISN'T.

JACK OUTSMARTED HALF THE TOWN.

MM-HMM.

I PROMISED YOU GUYS AUTOGRAPHS,

AND WE ARE GONNA GET AUTOGRAPHS.

I HAVE A PLAN.

OH! HEY.

NO ONE'S ALLOWED BACK HERE.

OH, THANK GOODNESS! A SECURITY GUARD.

MOM ALWAYS SAID,

"IF YOU NEED HELP, FIND A SECURITY GUARD."

WELL, YOUR MOM SOUNDS LIKE A VERY WISE LADY.

WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE TROUBLE?

YEAH, WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE TROUBLE?

IT'S BEARS.

- BEARS? - BEARS!

NOT BEARS. I'M TERRIFIED OF BEARS.

BEARS ARE THE WORST.

WHY WOULD THERE BE BEARS AT A CONVENTION CENTER?

IT'S THE DROUGHT.

THEY'RE COMING DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAINS.

THEY'RE FORAGING FOR FOOD.

- MM-HMM. I-I-IN THE DUMPSTER. - ON TOP OF THE PARKING GARAGE.

FURTHER DOWN THE ALLEY.

WHEN YOU IRONED ON THAT SECURITY BADGE,

YOU SWORE AN OATH

TO PROTECT THIS CONVENTION CENTER.

WELL, TODAY...

YOUR CONVENTION CENTER NEEDS YOU.

WE NEED A HERO!

WE NEED...

OTIS.

ARE YOU SURE IT WAS BEARS?

OH, OTIS...

OTIS!

WOULD I LIE TO YOU?

YOU KIDS STAY HERE.

IT'S BEAR SEASON.

NOW WE JUST HAVE TO SIT BACK, RELAX,

AND WAIT FOR DANNY KOSTAS TO ROLL IN.

HEH.

OKAY. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE OTIS JUST FELL FOR THAT," RIGHT?

WELL, NOW, DON'T BLAME HIM,

BECAUSE HE NEVER REALLY HAD A CHANCE.

SEE, EVERYBODY HAS A SPECIAL TALENT.

SOME PEOPLE ARE... ATHLETES.

AND SOME PEOPLE CAN

PUT THEIR ENTIRE FIST IN THEIR MOUTH.

SORT OF.

BUT ME?

MY SPECIAL TALENT?

I CAN LIE.

NOW, EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID,

I WAS JUST ALWAYS REALLY GOOD AT MAKING STUFF UP.

I FIGURED, REGULAR LIFE IS BORING ENOUGH ON ITS OWN.

WHY NOT SPICE IT UP A LITTLE, HUH?

LIKE THE TIME I BUSTED MY ARM

WHEN I BLEW THE LANDING ON THE SICKEST FLIP OF MY LIFE.

GAH!

NOW, I COULDN'T TELL MY MOM HOW IT REALLY HAPPENED.

SHE SAID ONE MORE ACCIDENT

AND MY BIKE WOULD BE HISTORY.

SO MAYBE...

SO MAYBE MY ARM GOT BROKEN

PROTECTING THE HABITAT OF AN ENDANGERED OWL

FROM TWO TREE-HUNGRY LUMBERJACKS.

GET 'IM!

OH!

YOU!

OH!

AHH!

JACK PARKER, THAT'S WHO.

AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

I GOT TO KEEP MY BIKE AND I MADE MY PARENTS PROUD.

NOW, MAYBE I DIDN'T HAVE THE NERVE

TO ASK JENNIFER TO THE WINTER FORMAL.

HI, JACK.

OR ASK HER ANYTHING AT ALL.

OR MAYBE I HAD A SMOKIN'-HOT GIRLFRIEND FROM ARIZONA

WHO DIDN'T WANT ME GOING OUT WITH ANYONE ELSE.

SHE'S SUPER-POSSESSIVE.

MAYBE I WENT OVERBOARD ON THAT LIE.

BUT...

MY BEST LIE,

MY GREATEST FABRICATION OF ALL,

WAS MIKEY.

SEE, MY BELOVED RED SOX WERE IN TOWN,

AND RYAN, ERIC, AND I

HAD SCORED AWESOME SEATS RIGHT BEHIND HOME PLATE.

THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS,

I HADN'T CLEANED MY ROOM IN EIGHT MONTHS.

YOUNG MAN,

YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL THIS ROOM IS SPOTLESS.

BUT... MOM!

I... HAVE TO...

HELP... THAT KID.

- WHAT KID? - THAT KID THAT...

I TUTOR?

MOM, I SWEAR, YOU DON'T LISTEN TO A THING I SAY.

YOU TUTOR SOMEONE?

YEAH, IT'S QUITE WONDERFUL.

I, YOU KNOW, I TRY NOT TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT.

YOU KNOW, JUST DOING MY PART.

HELPING A KID--

WHAT'S THIS KID'S NAME?

UH, MIKE.

BUT I CALL HIM MIKEY, YOU KNOW?

WE'RE KINDA TIGHT LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW?

I'M KIND OF HIS ONLY FRIEND.

I AM SO...

PROUD OF YOU!

YOU JUST GO.

HELP THAT MIKEY, OKAY?

SEE WHAT I MEAN?

COUPLE OF HARMLESS FABRICATIONS AND...

JUST LIKE THAT, THINGS JUST GET INTERESTING.

ERIC?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

SHH!

THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST BEARS IS TO PLAY DEAD.

GET UP. COME ON.

THERE WE GO.

OKAY.

DANNY! DANNY! WE LOVE YOU, MAN.

MY BOY, RYAN, DOES A PERFECT IMPRESSION

OF YOUR BATTING RITUAL. : SHOW HIM!

OKAY.

CAN WE GET SOME AUTOGRAPHS?

AWESOME!

SO COOL!

MM! TASTES MINTY.

AW, WE GOTTA GO!

MS. TAYLOR IS GOING TO KILL YOU.

OKAY, AND ONE MORE THING.

YES. LYING IS WRONG.

EXCEPT... MAYBE IT ISN'T.

NOW HEAR ME OUT.

RIGHT NOW,

OTIS THE SECURITY GUARD THINKS HE'S A HERO.

AND... WE GOT OUR AUTOGRAPHS.

EVERYBODY WINS.

NO HARM, NO FOUL.

FAKE GIRLFRIEND? LUMBERJACKS? CHECK.

BUT THE "MIKEY" STORY,

THAT WAS A MASTERPIECE,

AND IT TOTALLY CHANGED MY LIFE.

MIKEY BECAME MY GO-TO EXCUSE FOR EVERY SITUATION.

YOU KNOW-- GETTING OUT OF CHORES,

BREAKING CURFEW,

BEING LATE FOR CLASS.

PEOPLE WERE HAPPY LETTING ME GET AWAY WITH THINGS,

BECAUSE THEY WERE HELPING MIKEY.

IT MADE THEM FEEL GOOD,

AND MAKING PEOPLE FEEL GOOD CAN'T BE BAD, RIGHT?

JACK PARKER, YOU'RE LATE.

IT'S THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO GIVE YOU DETENTION.

I UNDERSTAND.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

IT'S JUST...

I WAS UP ALL NIGHT HELPING MIKEY.

WITH MATH, HE'S JUST REALLY STRUGGLING,

AND HE WANTS TO GET INTO COLLEGE,

SO HE CAN MAKE HIS MOM AND HIS FOUR BROTHERS PROUD.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID HE HAD FIVE BROTHERS.

IT'S FOUR.

IT'S FOUR NOW.

OHH...

HOW ABOUT WE JUST FORGET ABOUT DETENTION FOR TODAY? HMM?

THANK YOU.

IT'S LIKE I ALWAYS TOLD MIKEY, MS. TAYLOR--

YOU ARE THE TYPE OF TEACHER THAT THEY MAKE MOVIES ABOUT.

HEY!

SEE? I GET OUT OF DETENTION,

AND MS. TAYLOR FEELS GREAT ABOUT HERSELF!

MY LIES ARE MAKING OUR SCHOOL--

NO, OUR WORLD--

A BETTER PLACE.

COME ON!

- GIVE THEM BACK! - NO!

OH, HEY, LANCE.

ACTS OF INJUSTICE LIKE THAT

REALLY MAKE THE OLD ARM ACHE.

YOU KNOW... WHEN I BROKE IT?

SINGLE-HANDEDLY TAKING DOWN THOSE LUMBERJACKS?

YOU'VE HEARD THE STORY.

YOU SNAPPED THEM LIKE TWIGS.

TWIGS.

OH! OH... UH--

THERE...

THERE YOU GO.

NICE AND CLEAN, HUH?

THANKS, JACK.

YOU'RE ALWAYS STANDING UP FOR THE LITTLE GUYS.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, GIVE MY BEST TO MIKEY.

I SURE WILL.

WHAT CAN I SAY?

I'M LIKE A... SUPERHERO OR SOMETHING.

JACK PARKER.

THIS IS PRINCIPAL KAR.

REPORT TO MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.

MR. PARKER...

I THINK WE NEED TO DISCUSS THIS "MIKEY."

UH... HEH.

UM... WHAT ABOUT MIKEY?

THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE HAS BEEN BUZZING

WITH TALES ABOUT YOU TUTORING A MYSTERIOUS BOY

FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL.

AND I HAVE TO SAY...

I AM

VERY, VERY IMPRESSED.

TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE

TO HELP OTHERS, IT'S...

OH, IT'S MADE US ALL VERY PROUD.

YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHERE THIS IS GOING.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THIS IS GOING.

HE'S GONNA NOMINATE ME FOR "STUDENT OF THE YEAR."

I AM GOING TO NOMINATE YOU--

YOU! ...FOR "STUDENT OF THE YEAR."

WHAT?

"STUDENT OF THE YEAR!"

I-I-I WAS REALLY NOT EXPECTING THIS.

I MEAN, HELPING MIKEY IS ITS OWN REWARD.

THE WINNER GETS HIS OR HER CHOICE

OF ANY SUMMER INTERNSHIP.

YOU MEAN LIKE THE BAT BOY FOR THE BOSTON RED SOX?

THAT KIND OF INTERNSHIP?

YOU DA MAN!

AND NOW...

FULFILLING HIS LIFE-LONG DREAM,

PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER

FOR YOUR HOMETOWN HERO

AND FUTURE ALL-STAR RED SOX BAT BOY...

JACK PARKER-R-R-R!

UH, JACK?

OH! UH...

I MEAN, IF I WERE TO WIN,

THEN THAT'S WHAT I WOULD CHOOSE, YOU KNOW.

BUT--

IT'S JUST AN HONOR TO BE NOMINATED.

OH, JACK! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!

OH...

MOM, I LIVE TO MAKE YOU PROUD.

SO, UH, WHY ARE YOU PROUD OF ME?

YOUR PRINCIPAL CALLED.

YOU'RE ONE OF THE FIVE FINALISTS FOR "STUDENT OF THE YEAR"!

OH... THAT.

NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED. NEVER.

LIKE, EVER.

NEVER EVER. EVER.

NEVER?

EVER.

YOU HAVE GIVEN SO MUCH TO THAT MIKEY.

YOU DESERVE THIS AWARD.

AND I KNOW WHERE WE'RE GONNA PUT IT!

RIGHT HERE, SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

MAYBE I DO DESERVE IT.

SPEAKING OF DOING SOMETHING GOOD--

I NEED ONE OF YOU

TO HELP ME CLEAN OUT THE GARAGE TODAY.

I THINK A POSSUM DIED IN THERE.

PLACE IS GETTING PRETTY RIPE.

WELL, I CAN'T DO IT. NICK'S TAKING ME TO DINNER

AT THE WIENER PALACE FOR OUR THREE-WEEK ANNIVERSARY.

HOW 'BOUT IT, SPORT?

OH, DAD, YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD LOVE

TO SPEND SOME QUALITY BONDING TIME

SEARCHING FOR A ROTTING MARSUPIAL CORPSE WITH YOU.

YOU KNOW I WOULD!

BUT MIKEY HAS A CHEM TEST,

AND I PROMISED HIM THAT WE'D STUDY.

YOU HELP THAT MIKEY. HE NEEDS YOU.

HANNAH CAN HELP YOUR FATHER.

BUT MY ANNIVERSARY--

SWEETIE, THREE WEEKS IS NOT AN ANNIVERSARY.

BUT--

HANNAH, YOU ARE THE BEST.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON

THAT PEOPLE LIKE ME GET NOMINATED FOR AWARDS.

THANK YOU.

AH. OKAY.

RIGHT! LOOKING GOOD, SIS.

BROTHERS.

HAPPY HUNTING.

ALRIGHT, SWEETHEART.

IF YOU FIND THE POSSUM AND IT ISN'T MOVING,

IT COULD JUST BE PLAYING POSSUM.

OR IT'S DEAD FROM RABIES.

GROSS.

EITHER WAY,

DON'T TOUCH IT.

USE THIS POSSUM CLUB.

EW, I THINK I FOUND IT!

GET THE TRASH BAG!

OH, IT'S ALIVE!

IT'S ALIVE AND I THINK IT HATES ME!

USE THE CLUB! USE THE POSSUM CLUB!

IT'S A BROOM, DAD!

LOOK, YOUR SHOW

IS THE NUMBER-ONE WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT SHOW

IN THIS SCHOOL--

IT'S THE ONLY WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT SHOW

IN THIS SCHOOL.

IT'S STILL NUMBER ONE!

OKAY? POINT IS--

I TELL ONE MORE KILLER MIKEY STORY ON AIR,

AND I HAVE THAT "STUDENT OF THE YEAR" AWARD LOCKED.

YEAH, BUT TELLING EVERYONE YOU HELD A BOTTLE DRIVE

TO RAISE MONEY TO BUY A BIONIC TAIL

TO SAVE MIKEY'S SICK DOG?

I MEAN, MAYBE YOU'RE GOING TOO BIG.

NO, THIS IS THE TIME TO GO BIG.

IT'S THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH. I GOTTA SWING FOR THE FENCES.

MAYBE I SHOULD GO BIGGER.

WHAT IF...

ITS TAIL SHOOTS LASERS?

THAT'D BE AWESOME.

A LITTLE TOO BIG, BUDDY.

BUT I LIKE WHERE YOUR HEAD'S AT.

I'M STICKING WITH THE REGULAR BIONIC TAIL.

I'M INSPIRED JUST THINKING OF IT.

HEY, JACK.

OH, HI! UH--

JEN...

...NIFER.

HOW'S, EH...?

HI.

YOU CAN'T TALK TO HER.

OH. NO, REALLY?

THANKS FOR RUBBING IT IN. I'M DYING HERE!

NO, I MEAN, YOU CAN'T TALK TO HER.

LISA WILL FREAK OUT!

LISA?

YOUR SUPER-POSSESSIVE GIRLFRIEND FROM ARIZONA?

OH. OH, RIGHT.

OKAY, I'LL GET RID OF HER,

AND THEN I'LL MEET YOU IN THE STUDIO.

OKAY.

HEY, LISTEN, I JUST WANTED TO CONGRATULATE YOU

ON THE WHOLE STUDENT OF THE YEAR NOMINATION.

IT'S SO COOL WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING FOR MIKEY.

THANKS. HEH. YOU.

NO, THANK-- THANK YOU

IS WHAT I MEANT TO SAY.

OH, BOY. UH... LISTEN, I'M SORRY.

I'M REALLY NERVOUS.

I DON'T LIKE ALL THIS ATTENTION.

YEAH.

I'M THAT WAY, TOO.

UM, SO CAITLIN IS HAVING A POOL PARTY THIS WEEKEND,

AND I WAS THINKING...

MAYBE YOU, RYAN AND ERIC MIGHT WANT TO COME TO IT?

S-SERIOUSLY?

I MEAN, UH, SERIOUSLY?

CAITLIN HAS A-- HAS A POOL IN THIS CLIMATE?

THAT'S AN AWFUL LOT OF WORK.

YOU GOTTA GOTTA DRAIN IT IN THE WINTER.

BUT YEAH, NO, NO THAT'D BE FUN. WE COULD TOTALLY POOL PARTY.

COOL. WELL, UH...

GOOD LUCK IN THERE.

THANKS.

HEY!

YOU SHOULD BRING MIKEY.

YOU KNOW, I'D LOVE TO FINALLY MEET HIM.

TOTALLY! YEAH!

OH...

HE'S TAKING HIS DOG IN FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT DAY.

SOFTWARE UPDATE?

YOU'LL SEE.

BYE.

SO, IN CONCLUSION,

BASED ON MY EXEMPLARY ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE,

PERFECT ATTENDANCE,

AND MY POSITION

AS ASSISTANT MANAGER OF THE JUNIOR VARSITY SWIM TEAM,

I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE YOUR STUDENT OF THE YEAR.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, STEPHANIE.

THAT WAS A LONG LIST OF THINGS YOU JUST READ.

AND NOW...

IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO CALL UP OUR FINAL NOMINEE--

JACK PARKER!

HEY!

OH! HEY--

PRINCIPAL KAR.

ESTEEMED TEACHERS, FELLOW STUDENTS...

DO I DESERVE STUDENT OF THE YEAR?

THAT'S NOT FOR ME TO DECIDE.

WHAT I DO KNOW IS,

STUDENT OF THE YEAR

WAS THE FURTHEST THING FROM MY MIND

THE DAY I FINALLY RAISED ENOUGH MONEY

TO BUY MIKEY'S POOR, SICK DOG A ROBOT TAIL.

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE LITTLE GUY...

WAGGING THAT THING.

I MEAN, HE ALMOST TOOK OFF.

THIS MAN IS AN ARTIST.

I MAY NOT HAVE

THE BEST GRADES OR THE PERFECT ATTENDANCE,

BUT I'M THE TYPE OF GUY THAT'LL RAISE MONEY

TO BRING A POOR, SICK DOG'S BUTT INTO THE 21ST CENTURY.

I JUST WISH...

I WISH MIKEY COULD BE HERE RIGHT NOW.

IT WOULD MEAN SO MUCH FOR ME TO SHARE THIS MOMENT WITH HIM.

IF HE WERE HERE RIGHT NOW, I WOULD TELL HIM--

: TELL ME WHAT, JACK?

WHO SAID THAT?

: IT'S ME!

MIKEY!

MIKEY?

NO!

MIKEY!

HEY, EVERYBODY, IT'S MIKEY!

UH-H-H-H...

W-- YOU'RE HERE.

'COURSE I'M HERE!

I'M NOT GONNA MISS MY GOOD FRIEND'S SPECIAL DAY. NO WAY!

HOW ABOUT

THIS GUY?

ISN'T HE THE GREATEST?

OKAY!

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M MIKEY!

NO. NO, NO, NO. NO, NO. NO. NO.

YES. YES, YES, YES. YES, YES. YES, YES.

YES.

THA-- THAT CAN'T BE.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE IN MY LIFE.

OF COURSE YOU HAVE.

JUST CHECK US OUT ON "FACES AND FRIENDS."

WHA--

NO. OKAY, IT CAN'T BE.

IT SURE CAN.

DUDE!

OH... DUDE.

I'M SURE I HAVE YOU TO THANK FOR THIS LITTLE PRANK.

ME? NO. I DON'T HAVE THE LEVEL OF COMMITMENT

TO TAKE ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

AND I THINK IT'S A STEP ABOVE

ERIC'S CAPACITY FOR PLANNING AND EXECUTION.

IS HE REAL?

AM I REAL?

IS ANYTHING REAL?

YOU MUST BE RYAN.

JACK'S TRIED-AND-TRUE BEST FRIEND.

THE KIND OF GUY THAT'D GIVE YOU

THE UNDERWEAR OFF HIS BUTT

IF YOU NEEDED 'EM.

AW, DUDE! YOU TOLD HIM ABOUT THAT?

THAT WAS A SECRET.

IT IS A SECRET!

WELL, OBVIOUSLY, IT ISN'T!

I THOUGHT YOU MADE MIKEY UP!

I DID MAKE HIM UP.

WELL, THEN WHO'S TALKING TO ERIC OVER THERE?

A QUARTER?

CHECK THE OTHER EAR. CHECK THE OTHER EAR!

LOVIN' ME SOME ERIC.

I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET JEN AND ALL YOUR OTHER FRIENDS!

MAN.

IF HE STARTS TALKING TO EVERYONE,

I WON'T WIN STUDENT OF THE YEAR.

I WON'T GET TO GO TO FENWAY,

AND FORGET ABOUT HANGING WITH DANNY KOSTAS.

MAN, WE'VE GOT TO GET RID OF--

OH!

JACKIE!

OH!

I MISSED YOU SO MUCH, JACKIE, BOO-BOO BEAR!

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M LISA, YOU SILLY GOOSE.

OH! THIS IS LISA!

YOUR GIRLFRIEND!

- FROM ARIZONA. - COOL.

NO! NOT COOL.

IT'S NOT REAL. I MADE IT UP.

THERE'S NO ARIZONA?

I KNEW THE GRAND CANYON WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

WAIT! YOU MADE UP A FAKE GIRLFRIEND?

YOU LIED TO US?

I AM NOT FAKE!

SEE WHAT I MADE FOR YOU, SNOOKUMS?

DUDE?

ON IT.

HEY... JEN.

UH... I'VE BEEN MEANING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING.

OKAY, OKAY.

UH, WHY ARE YOU HERE?

WHY WOULDN'T I WANT TO SEE MY BOYFRIEND?

WHAT?

I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!

ARE YOU BREAKING UP WITH ME?

AFTER I DROVE ALL THE WAY FROM ARIZONA?

ON A LEARNER'S PERMIT?

WOW, JACK, I'M SURPRISED!

YOU AND LISA ALWAYS SEEMED SO SOLID.

HMM...

I HAVE NO IDEA IF YOU SHOULD TAKE JAZZ OR TAP.

AND I HAVE NO IDEA

WHY YOU'VE BEEN MEANING TO ASK ME THAT.

OKAY. JUST, UH...

TELL ME WHICH YOU LIKE BETTER.

THIS ISN'T EVEN REAL!

WHAT WE HAVE ISN'T REAL?

I SEE HOW IT IS.

: YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST THROW ME AWAY,

LIKE A STALE ENCHILADA?

WELL, GIRLFRIENDS ARE NOT ENCHILADAS, JACK!

MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE BREAKING UP

IN PUBLIC LIKE THIS.

WE AREN'T BREAKING UP.

WE COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE BREAKING UP

BECAUSE WE WERE NEVER DATING!

WAH-AH-AH!

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

HOW ABOUT THIS?

LET'S GO OVER HERE WHERE NO ONE CAN SEE YOU CRYING.

TA-DAH!

AS IMPRESSIVE AS THIS IS... NOT,

JUST TELL JACK THAT I CAME OUT HERE TO SEE MIKEY,

BUT YOU WEIRDED ME OUT, SO I LEFT.

OKAY.

I THINK JAZZ, BUT...

LET ME SEE THE TAP AGAIN.

CALM DOWN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOT INTO ME.

I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE YOU.

I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU WERE THE ONE.

LET'S GET A FAMILY CELL PLAN.

THAT WAY, OUR LOVE WILL BE FOREVER.

YEAH... LET'S DO THAT.

UH... OH! BUT I GOT SCHOOL, SO HOW ABOUT I MEET YOU AFTER?

AFTER SCHOOL IT IS. EE!

OKAY.

OH! YOU KNOW WHAT, MIKEY?

WHY DON'T YOU GO WITH HER, SO SHE DOESN'T GET LOST?

OH, BUT I WANTED TO MEET--

THANKS, MAN. YOU'RE JUST THE BEST.

DON'T KEEP ME WAITING TOO LONG, POOKIE.

YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE TO BE DISAPPOINTED.

DUDE! WHAT IS HAPPENING?

WORST-CASE SCENARIO?

WORST-CASE SCENARIO!

ALL OF MY LIES ARE ALL COMING TRUE.

SOMEHOW, THE THINGS THAT I MADE UP ARE REAL NOW.

WHAT? HOW? WHAT?

EXACTLY.

SO, WAIT--

IF I LIE ABOUT SOMETHING, IT'LL COME TRUE?

I... HAVE A JET-PACK!

I MEAN, I'M NOT GOING CRAZY, AM I?

AM I GOING CRAZY?

GUYS, IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME.

MAYBE I SHOULD TO TRY IT FROM HIGHER.

WE CAN'T BOTH BE GOING CRAZY.

I'M SURE THERE'S A PERFECTLY REASONABLE EXPLANATION

FOR ALL THIS.

HAVE YOU ANGERED A GENIE?

OR, UH, STOLEN GOLD FROM A LEPRECHAUN?

NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.

WELL, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT

HOW TO STOP THIS BEFORE IT GETS WORSE.

"WORSE"?

HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY GET ANY WORSE?

OH! WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?

YOU NEVER SAY THAT! ROOKIE MOVE, MAN!

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN COME INTO OUR FOREST,

PICK A FIGHT... AND JUST FORGET ABOUT IT?

WE DIDN'T FORGET.

LUMBERJACKS HAVE MEMORIES LIKE MOOSE.

MOOSE HAVE EXCELLENT MEMORIES.

DON'T TELL ME. THE LUMBERJACKS?

FROM WHEN YOU DIDN'T BREAK YOUR ARM AT THE BIKE PARK?

OH, OKAY. GUYS...

THERE'S NO NEED TO GET PHYSICAL. WE CAN WORK THIS OUT!

I CAME HERE TO WEAR FLANNEL AND KICK BUTT.

AND I ALREADY GOT MY FLANNELS ON!

FLANNEL IS THE FABRIC OF CHOICE FOR LUMBERJACKIN'

BECAUSE IT CONTINUES TO INSULATE EVEN WHEN IT'S WET.

THAT WAS SURPRISINGLY INFORMATIVE.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIGHT THEM. YOU GUYS TAKE THE BIG ONE.

THEY'RE BOTH THE BIG ONE!

STURDY. HEH.

GOOD LUCK.

OKAY. I CAN BUY YOU THREE SECONDS.

HEY, GUYS!

CAN I GET YOUR OPINION ON SOMETHING?

NO-NO-NO-- NO, OKAY. OKAY.

: OOH! I DON'T THINK THAT'S SUPPOSED TO STRETCH!

AHH--

OOH! AH!

SO MAYBE THE JAZZ, THEN?

- PULL HARDER! - IT'S SUCK!

YOU'D BETTER BE COWERING IN THERE!

: COME ON, CHIP! PUT SOME MUSCLE INTO IT.

JACK?

AHH. HI, JENNIFER.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

OH. UM, LUMBERJACKS.

I'M GOING TO PRETEND THAT'S NOT A WEIRD ANSWER.

SO, UH, WHATCHA-- WHATCHA DOIN'?

OH, JUST TALKING TO MIKEY.

WHAT?

HEY, BUDDY.

NICE SHIRT!

A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN'T PULL OFF THE SHREDDED LOOK,

BUT YOU ARE NAILIN' IT.

-: IT'S TIMBER-R-R-R-- - TIMBER-R-R--

...TIME.

OKAY, UH, LET'S GO STAND SOMEWHERE ELSE.

HERE THEY ARE!

OKAY.

COLUMBIAN MAPLE?

IT'S LIKE THE GUY'S NEVER BARRICADED A DOOR BEFORE.

I TOLD YOU TO STAY WITH LISA.

OH, SHE GOT TIRED OF WAITING AROUND AND TOOK OFF.

SOMETHING ABOUT STAKING OUT YOUR HOUSE?

WAIT. WHO'S LISA?

OH, UH, JUST A...

OLD FRIEND FROM COLLEGE.

YOU'RE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL.

IT WAS A SUMMER PROGRAM.

WELL, I'M GLAD I GOT TO FINALLY MEET MIKEY.

HE'S FANTASTIC.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?

YOU HAVE TO COME OVER TO MY HOUSE.

WE HAVE THE CUTEST KITTY.

AW!

YOU THROW IN SOME LEMONADE,

AND YOU JUST DESCRIBED MY PERFECT AFTERNOON.

WE'VE GOT A HUGGER!

OH, OKAY.

WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO HER? YOU CAN'T TALK TO HER.

- WHY CAN'T I TALK TO HER? - YEAH, WHY CAN'T HE TALK TO ME?

IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW,

YOU GUYS ARE JUST BOTH COMPLETE STRANGERS.

WE ARE NOT STRANGERS.

YOU'VE TOLD ME SO MUCH ABOUT JENNY,

- I FEEL LIKE I ALREADY KNOW HER. "JENNY"?

YOU TALK ABOUT ME?

PFFT. NO!

SURE HE DOES.

AND YOU ARE JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS JACK IS ALWAYS SAYING YOU ARE.

I NEVER TOLD SAID THAT TO YOU!

YOU DON'T THINK SHE'S BEAUTIFUL?

OH, WHAT?

NO, I--

WILL YOU EXCUSE US FOR A SECOND? THANK YOU.

I CAN SEE WHY YOU LIKE HER SO MUCH.

DUDE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!

WILL YOU PLEASE JUST STAY AWAY FROM HER? AND ALL MY FRIENDS!

I HAVE BIG THINGS GOING ON THIS WEEK,

AND I CAN'T HAVE YOU MESSING THEM UP!

: HEY, LOOK! ISN'T THAT MIKEY?

HEY!

THEY WEDGIED ME SO HARD, I CAN TASTE MY UNDERWEAR.

I THINK I NEED PLIERS TO DIG THEM OUT.

THIS GUY'S GOTTA BE A FAKE.

IF ONLY WE COULD PROVE IT.

MAYBE WE CAN.

WE HAVE TO DEFEAT HIM IN THE ARENA OF THE MIND.

OKAY.

OH... HEY, MIKEY.

SO, YOU'VE KNOWN JACK A WHILE NOW, HUH?

YEAH, TWO YEARS. A TRUE FRIEND.

AREN'T FRIENDS THE GREATEST?

YEAH.

I STILL REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I MET JACK.

THIRD GRADE! SCIENCE CLASS.

OH! YEAH, YEAH.

I WAS TOTALLY BUMMED BECAUSE, UH,

MY PET GOLDFISH HAD JUST DIED.

UH, "LADYBUG."

AND RYAN HELPED ME FLUSH HIM.

THAT'S JUST WHAT FRIENDS DO.

YOU GUYS NEVER TOLD ME THAT STORY.

THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

HMM, WELL, I MUST HAVE THINGS WRONG,

BECAUSE, IF I RECALL,

YOU MET IN THE FIFTH GRADE.

YOUR PET DIDN'T DIE, IT ESCAPED,

WHICH MAKES MORE SENSE, BECAUSE IT WAS A TURTLE,

NOT A GOLDFISH,

AND YOU DIDN'T FLUSH IT, RYAN HELPED YOU PAINT A ROCK

UNDER THE BIG OAK TREE IN YOUR BACKYARD AS A MEMORIAL.

AND SOMETIMES...

YOU STILL HEAR THE PITTER-PATTER OF TINY FLIPPERS

WHEN YOU SIT IN ITS SHADE.

AT LEAST THAT'S HOW I REMEMBER IT.

THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.

WHY IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?

LET'S GO, PIT-STAINS.

OKAY, LET'S FIGURE THIS OUT.

HOW MANY LIES HAVE YOU TOLD?

I STARTED A LIST.

ONE TIME, I TRIED TO IMPRESS PEOPLE AT SUMMER CAMP

BY TELLING THEM MY UNCLE WAS A PRO WRESTLER

OH, I WAS LATE MEETING ERIC AT THE MOVIES

SO I SAID I WAS ALMOST ABDUCTED BY ALIENS.

YOU ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.

I SAID I WAS ADOPTED BY ASIAN PARENTS

SO I COULD CUT CLASS ON CHINESE NEW YEAR--

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE IT'S EASIER

IF YOU LIST THE THINGS YOU DIDN'T LIE ABOUT.

HANNAH?

WHEN YOU GOT BRACES, I WAS EMBARRASSED.

I TOLD PEOPLE I DIDN'T HAVE A SISTER.

BUT YOU'RE STILL HERE. YOU'RE STILL HERE!

THAT MEANS THERE'S STILL HOPE!

OKAY. I'LL HOP ON THE CRAZY TRAIN.

WHAT ARE YOU BABBLING ABOUT?

HEY. LOOK!

IT'S JENNIFER AND MIKEY!

OVER HERE, GUYS!

WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THEM.

WE HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT HE'S SAYING TO HER.

I DON'T KNOW--

I'M JUST TWO BLOCKS UP ON THE LEFT.

OKAY, LET'S GO.

BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, ACT NATURAL.

DUDE, WOULD YOU STOP THAT?

THE NEIGHBORS ARE GONNA THINK WE'RE UP TO SOMETHING.

WE ARE UP TO SOMETHING!

OH...

DUDE, HAS JENNIFER EVER INVITED YOU OVER?

SILENCE!

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

I KNOW. I'M GOING IN.

WHAT?

I LIED THIS GUY INTO EXISTENCE.

I NEED TO MAKE SURE

HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO HURT ANYONE,

OR WORSE-- MESS UP MY CHANCES WITH THE SOX.

THAT'S WORSE?

FINE, "EQUALLY TRAGIC."

- DUDE. - ON IT.

HI. CAN I HELP YOU?

YEAH, UM, HI.

- HI! - HI.

I'M SELLING BUMBLEBEE GIRLS COOKIES.

AND YOU'RE A BUMBLEBEE... GIRL?

NOT YET. JUST GOT TO SELL SOME MORE COOKIES.

OH...

YOU ARE...

SO...

I'M JUST GONNA GRAB MY PURSE.

NO, NO. NO, NO.

UM, FIRST, I NEED TO RECITE THE BUMBLEBEE GIRL CODE FOR YOU.

GREAT.

"A BUMBLEBEE GIRL IS HONEST AND TRUE.

"A BUMBLEBEE GIRL IS BLACK AND--"

YELLOW?

YELLOW!

UH, "A BUMBLEBEE GIRL NEVER STINGS UNLESS SHE HAS TO."

AND THIS IS BUTTONS.

: OH, MY GOSH, BUTTONS IS SO CUTE.

: I KNOW!

: BUTTONS IS CUTE AS A BUTTON

INSIDE A BUTTON.

THAT'S BUTTON WITHIN ANOTHER BUTTON.

: YOU ARE CRAZY.

: HE'S SO CUTE!

I WANT TO SNUGGLE WITH HIM!

KITTENS.

OH, YEAH.

PEW!

OOH.

MM! HELLO.

: HONEY!

DO YOU WANT SOME BUMBLEBEE GIRL COOKIES?

OOH! GET ME THE "LEMONY ZESTS."

BUT NO "PEPPERMINT FATTIES!" THEY'RE WAY OVERRATED!

HANG ON.

I'D BETTER HANDLE THIS.

WHAT...

JUST...

HAPPENED?

I SAID I DON'T WANT ANY "PEPPERMINT FATTIES."

I TOLD HIM, HAL.

I TOLD HIM, I SAID,

"MY HUSBAND DOESN'T LIKE THE PEPPERMINT FATTIES."

: SO... BEST OF LUCK BECOMING A BUMBLE BEE GIRL.

WAIT.

FIRST, I NEED TO GET YOUR OPINION ON SOMETHING.

WHOO!

OKAY. OR... OR--

YEAH, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE

JACK IS ALWAYS PLAYING GAMES, YOU KNOW?

: I'VE FOUND THAT PEOPLE TEND TO PLAY GAMES

WHEN THEY'RE AFRAID TO SHOW YOU WHO THEY REALLY ARE.

I'M WITH OLD BEN FRANKLIN ON THIS ONE--

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.

WHAT DOES THAT GUY KNOW ABOUT HONESTY?

HE'S A TOTAL LIE!

YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE I CAN TELL YOU ANYTHING, MIKEY.

WELL, YOU CAN DEFINITELY TELL ME

WHERE I CAN GET SOME MORE

OF THESE DELICIOUS MUFFINS.

THEY'RE DELICIOUS.

: OH, YOU KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF THOSE MUFFINS.

DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING?

MUST'VE BEEN YOUR FOLKS...

HOW MANY EMOTICONS CAN YOU USE?

...WHO ARE AWESOME, BY THE WAY!

♪ DOO-DAH! ♪

- YEAH... - YEAH?

WELL, "YES" TO THE TAP,

BUT I'M STICKING STRONG ON "NO" TO THE PEPPERMINT FATTIES.

AW, COME ON.

NO. WAIT!

BUMBLEBEES NEVER GIVE UP!

HAL, HONEY, CAN YOU EMPTY THE KITTY LITTER?

BUT MY BUBBLE BATH IS GONNA GET COLD.

IT'S BEEN A WEEK.

- FINE. - LOVE YOU!

UGH. KITTENS.

OHH! OHH, OHH...

OHH... UGH.

GROSS.

SO GROSS.

OH!

SHH, SHH, SHH...

: HONEY?

THE GARBAGE ISN'T A TOY. OKAY?

ENJOY YOUR TEA.

PLEASE, PLEASE! SHH, SHH, SHH!

SON, WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?

NEIGHBORS CALLED ABOUT A TRESPASSER.

DON'T YOU WORK AT THE CONVENTION CENTER?

I DID.

UNTIL I WAS FIRED FOR LEAVING MY POST

TO CHASE PRETEND BEARS.

IF I EVER CATCH

THAT LITTLE PUNK THAT LIED TO ME,

I'M GONNA WRITE SUCH A--

JACK?

OH... HEY.

JENNIFER.

MIKEY.

YOU OKAY, PARDNER?

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

YOU KNOW, I'D RATHER NOT SAY, SO I'M JUST GONNA--

HEY!

THAT WAS COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR!

HAD MY HOUSE KEYS ON IT!

: I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT, DUDE.

I MEAN, IT COULD'VE BEEN WORSE.

DUDE, I HAD TO SHOWER THREE TIMES

JUST TO GET THE KITTY LITTER OUTTA MY EARS.

YOU KNOW, I'M SURE JENNIFER'S FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT IT.

YEAH, SHE'S NEVER GONNA FORGET ABOUT IT.

THIS AFTERNOON,

I HAD IT ALL,

NOW IT'S ALL FALLING APART BECAUSE OF MIKEY.

WELL, TECHNICALLY, YOU MADE HIM,

SO, REALLY, IT'S ON YOU.

WELL, WE HAVE TO THINK TACTICALLY.

WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHO MIKEY IS

AND SEND HIM BACK TO WHATEVER DIMENSION HE CAME FROM.

DUDE. DROP THE BAT.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PRACTICE BAT-BOYING

IF YOU DON'T DROP THE BAT?

YEAH. RIGHT. SORRY.

- THANK YOU. - NAILED IT.

THANKS.

YOU DON'T THINK THEY'RE LAUGHING ABOUT

WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, DO YOU?

NAH. I'M SURE IT'S SOMETHING ELSE.

DUDE! I JUST HEARD THE FUNNIEST THING

ABOUT YOU WEARING MAKEUP OUTSIDE JENNIFER'S HOUSE.

EVERYBODY'S LAUGHING ABOUT IT.

I MEAN, EVERYBODY. YOU'RE FAMOUS!

OKAY, MAYBE THEY WERE LAUGHING

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY.

I'M A JOKE.

HEY! STAY FOCUSED.

TODAY IS ALL ABOUT MIKEY.

- WHAT'S ALL ABOUT ME? - GAH!

WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?

WELL, MY MOM SAYS FROM HEAVEN, BUT MY BIOLOGY TEACHER SAYS--

FORGET IT!

I DON'T CARE.

JACK, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE MAD AT ME.

YOU'RE NOT MAD AT ME, ARE YOU?

M-MAD?

: MAD?

HEY, JACK.

EASY.

OH, WHAT? WHY WOULD I BE MAD?

WE'RE GOOD FRIENDS, RIGHT?

I SURE AM GLAD TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT,

BECAUSE I HAD SO MUCH FUN HERE YESTERDAY,

I DECIDED TO COME BACK TODAY.

IN FACT, I THINK I'M GONNA TRANSFER HERE.

I WANNA SEE YOU WIN "STUDENT OF THE YEAR."

GREAT NEWS. GREAT NEWS!

I KNEW YOU'D BE EXCITED.

OH, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

JENNIFER INVITED ME

TO TAG ALONG TO HER CLASSES TODAY.

ISN'T SHE NICE?

OH--

UH--

- HI! - OH, UH, OKAY--

GREAT-- GREAT TALKING TO YOU, MIKEY.

YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY!

I ALWAYS DO!

WHY ARE YOU BEING SO NICE TO HIM?

ARE YOU HAVING SOME SORT OF BREAKDOWN RIGHT NOW?

CHECK IT OUT.

YOU STOLE HIS WALLET?

I'M GONNA GIVE IT BACK!

AFTER I FIND OUT WHERE HE LIVES.

OH, PERFECT, WELL, THAT MAKES IT ALL BETTER THEN.

IF WE'RE GOING TO SEND HIM BACK TO WHERE HE CAME FROM,

WE HAVE TO FIND OUT WHERE THAT IS.

MIKEY, MIKEY, MIKEY...

THESE ALL SAY MIKEY!

JACKPOT. HA!

OH, WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE, MIKEY.

YOU ARE GOING DOWNTOWN!

ACTUALLY, I THINK THAT'S UPTOWN.

AND TO THE WEST.

OH! OH, YEAH, NO, HE'S GOING DOWNTOWN.

EVEN THOUGH THAT'S THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF THIS ADDRESS.

ALRIGHT, WELL, THIS IS IT.

THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT.

THIS GUY IS TOO GOOD.

HE'S BEEN MESSING WITH US THE WHOLE TIME.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I USED TO TELL MY PARENTS

I WOULD TAKE MIKEY HERE AS A REWARD

WHEN HE DID WELL ON TESTS.

COME ON.

OKAY, OKAY, SO NOW WE JUST HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE

WHO KNOWS WHO MIKEY IS.

AND HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

OH, JACK. WHAT'S UP?

OH, HEY! GUY.

DO YOU KNOW THAT KID?

NO.

HEY, EXCUSE ME?

UH, HI!

SO, UH...

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

HOW DO I KNOW WHO YOU ARE? DUDE, YOU'RE HILARIOUS.

WHERE'S MIKEY?

AW, YOU KNOW MIKEY?

'COURSE I KNOW MIKEY. YOU GUYS ARE BOTH HILARIOUS.

YOU AND MIKEY ARE HERE ALL THE TIME.

DUDE, ARE YOU SURE MIKEY ISN'T REAL?

RIGHT NOW, I'M NOT EVEN SURE I'M REAL.

UH, OKAY, SO, UM,

YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO KNOW WHERE MIKEY IS NOW, DO YOU?

OR WHERE HE LIVES? OR WHO HIS PARENTS ARE?

OR WHAT SCHOOL HE GOES TO? OR WHERE HE HANGS OUT?

SMOOTH... NOT STALKERY AT ALL.

I KNOW WHERE HE HANGS. HE HANGS HERE.

WITH YOU.

THAT WAS WEIRD

AND UNINFORMATIVE.

WE GOT A PLAN "B"?

THE HIPPO.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

MIKEY HAD HIM ON HIS BACKPACK.

MAYBE THE HIPPO KNOWS SOMETHING.

AW, YEAH. I MEAN, WHY NOT?

WOULDN'T BE THE STRANGEST THING

THAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST TWO DAYS.

MM-MM. HEY! HEY, HIPPO!

HE'S RUNNING. WE GOT A RUNNER! WE GOT A RUNNER!

LOOK AT HIM.

HE'S LIKE A FURRY, PURPLE NINJA IN THAT THING!

LET'S GO! OH...

- HE'S GETTING AWAY! - I SEE THAT.

THIS IS THE WORST!

NOPE! NO. THIS IS. UGH...

- WAIT A SECOND. - YEAH?

WHY ARE WE CHASING THE HIPPO AGAIN?

BECAUSE HE RAN!

MAYBE HE RAN BECAUSE WE'RE CHASING HIM.

DON'T START THINKING ON ME NOW, MAN. LET'S GO!

- ALRIGHT. OKAY. - YOU GOOD?

YEAH. I'M OKAY.

HEY!

THIS IS THE BUMPER CARS, NOT A TRACK MEET.

WANNA CROSS THE FLOOR? YOU GOTTA BUMP.

- GO GET 'IM. - I'M TRYING!

DUDE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

OH, OKAY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

MINE WAS AN ACCIDENT.

SO WAS MINE.

- SERIOUSLY? - SERIOUSLY!

HE'S GETTING AWAY. AGAIN!

- WHY IS HE ALWAYS RUNNING? - I DON'T KNOW.

SHORTCUT. POOL TIME.

OOF.

- THAT WAS-- - AWESOME.

- YES! - AHH!

NICE!

WELL, WELL, WELL!

WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

SERIOUSLY?

DOES THIS TOWN HAVE ANOTHER SECURITY GUARD?

SINCE WHEN DID YOU START WORKING AT FUNLAND?

SINCE I GOT FIRED FROM MY LAST JOB.

SOME SUDSY CLOWN THREW MY KEYS INTO A BUSH.

WHY WOULD-- WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAN.

BUT, PLEASE, WE HAVE TO TALK TO THAT--

...HIPPO.

HIPPO? OKAY.

YOU'RE COMING WITH ME, FELLAS.

PLEASE, THE HIPPO IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING!

OH, YOU'RE HOME LATE. HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT IF I TOLD YOU.

HEY, BUDDY!

WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?

WE'RE JUST PUZZLING.

FINISHED!

LOVELY! LOOK, JACK.

MIKEY FINALLY FINISHED OUR PUZZLE.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU BROUGHT MIKEY AROUND HERE BEFORE?

HE IS A DOLL!

NO.

YOU ARE.

OH, HO, HO, HO!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR GAME IS--

THIS ISN'T A GAME. IT'S A PUZZLE.

YEAH, I KNOW IT IS.

AND I'M GONNA FIGURE IT OUT.

I'M GONNA FIGURE IT ALL OUT.

HEY, SPORT, ARE YOU FEELING OKAY?

PULL UP A CHAIR, AMIGO.

WE SURE COULD USE YOUR HELP...

FOR THE NEXT ONE!

HOW DOES 5,000 PIECES OF SAND AND SKY SOUND?

SOUNDS LIKE I'M SLEEPIN' OVER.

UH, JACK?

CAN I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU?

SURE. WHY NOT?

LOOK, JACK, I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T SAY THIS,

BUT I'M REALLY ROOTING FOR YOU

TO WIN "STUDENT OF THE YEAR."

THANKS, PRINCIPAL KAR.

I MEAN, YOU WERE NEVER THAT IMPRESSIVE ON PAPER.

OR IN PERSON.

BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE,

THE VALUES THAT I'VE TRIED TO INSTILL

AS THIS SCHOOL'S ADMINISTRATOR,

THEY GOT THROUGH TO YOU.

AND IF YOU WERE TO WIN THE AWARD, WELL...

IT WOULD BE SUCH AN INSPIRATION

TO ALL THE OTHER BELOW-AVERAGE JOES OUT THERE.

THANKS, PRINCIPAL KAR.

THAT SAID,

I'VE RECENTLY HEARD SOME DISTURBING RUMORS

ABOUT YOUR BEHAVIOR OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL.

IF THERE TURNS OUT TO BE ANY TRUTH TO THESE "RUMORS,"

I'M AFRAID I'LL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DISQUALIFY YOU.

YEAH, YEAH. NO, NO PROBLEM.

I MEAN, I'M SURE THEY'RE JUST A--

JUST A HARMLESS MISUNDERSTANDING.

I CERTAINLY HOPE SO.

THE HIPPO IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING.

IF ONLY WE COULD JUST FIND HIM,

WE'D FINALLY HAVE SOME ANSWERS.

WE SHOULD GO TO THE ZOO.

THAT'S WHERE THE HIPPOS LIVE.

BAD NEWS, BUDDY. YOU'RE OUT.

HEY, IF ANYBODY HAD TO GET ME OUT,

I'M GLAD IT WAS YOU.

MIKEY'S THE BEST.

NO. MIKEY IS THE WORST.

RIGHT! BUT HE'S ALSO PRETTY GREAT.

LATER, MIKEY.

RED'S YOUR COLOR, BUDDY!

-: SORRY, YOU'RE OUT. - GOOD SHOT, MIKEY!

I HEARD PRINCIPAL KAR TALKED TO YOU TODAY.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

I AM GOING TO WIN STUDENT OF THE YEAR,

AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME.

WHY WOULD I WANT TO STOP YOU, FRIEND?

NO!

NO, NO, NO.

HE DOESN'T EVEN GO TO THIS SCHOOL!

PSST, JENNIFER--

OH! SORRY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I JUST WANTED TO SAY SORRY...

YOU KNOW, GYM CLASS...

WHEN I HIT YOU IN THE GUTS

WITH THAT BALL--

THAT WASN'T COOL.

OH...

SEE, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE APOLOGIZING

FOR SNEAKING INTO MY HOUSE AND TRASHING OUR BATHROOM.

YEAH... RIGHT.

THAT.

UH, I'M ALSO VERY SORRY ABOUT THAT.

ALTHOUGH, YOUR SISTER GIVES ONE HECK OF A MAKEOVER.

JACK, WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU?

YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST STARTING

TO KIND OF MAYBE THINK YOU WERE CUTE,

AND THEN YOU WENT CRAZY.

YOU THOUGHT I WAS CUTE?

AND THEN YOU WENT

CRAZY.

IT'S JUST-- IT'S MIKEY.

HE'S GOT ME ALL MESSED UP.

WELL, I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE FRIENDS.

YOU'VE BEEN TUTORING HIM AND HANGING OUT WITH HIM,

AND YOU SAVED HIS DOG BY BUYING HIM A ROBOT TAIL!

RIGHT?

YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S ALL TRUE.

WELL, THEN WHY ARE YOU ACTING SO WEIRD?

CAN WE CHALK IT UP TO HORMONES?

HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU.

YOU JUST REALIZED THAT?

NO, NO, I'M ACTUALLY TALKING TO YOU.

SEE, LIKE, USUALLY, ALL I CAN DO

IS, LIKE, BABBLE AND MAKE WEIRD NOISES.

HUH.

YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S KINDA NICE.

SEEMS LIKE WE'RE HAVING A MOMENT...

AND I DON'T WANT TO RUIN IT,

SO I'M GONNA LEAVE.

GUESS I'LL SEE YOU

AT CAITLIN'S POOL PARTY THIS WEEKEND?

ACTUALLY, I WON'T BE THERE.

I'M VOLUNTEERING AT THE ANIMAL SHELTER ALL DAY WITH MIKEY.

MIKEY!

AND WE'RE BACK TO WEIRD.

HANNAH! DRIVE US TO FUNLAND.

"PLEASE?"

HANNAH, DRIVE US TO FUNLAND, PLEASE.

NO.

- COME ON! - WE CAN'T GO BACK THERE.

OTIS BANNED US FOR LIFE.

WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

IF WE WANT TO GET RID OF MIKEY ONCE AND FOR ALL,

WE HAVE TO FIND THAT PURPLE HIPPO.

ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT HURLEY?

WHAT? NO. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A GIANT PURPLE HIPPO

WHO HANDS OUT BALLOONS AT FUNLAND.

YEAH. HIS NAME'S HURLEY.

AND HE DOESN'T HAND OUT BALLOONS.

UNLESS "BART THE BALLOON BABOON"

WAS SICK THAT DAY.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?

JACK, I WORKED THERE FOR TWO YEARS.

SERIOUSLY?

WHERE DID YOU THINK I WAS GOING FOR FOUR HOURS

EVERY DAY AFTER SCHOOL?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW,

I WAS JUST HAPPY YOU WERE OUT OF THE HOUSE.

HANNAH! HANNAH, PLEASE!

ALL I KNOW IS HURLEY'S MAIN HABITAT

IS THE JUNGLE MINI-GOLF COURSE.

THANK YOU. YOU ARE AMAZING.

I KNOW.

TO FUNLAND!

I TOLD YOU, I'M NOT TAKING YOU THERE.

TO THE BUS STOP!

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS, JACK.

OTIS SAID NEVER TO COME BACK.

REALLY? YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN TO THAT GUY?

SWALLOW IT! SWALLOW IT.

GOOD BOY.

OKAY, LET'S GO.

REALLY? REALLY? OKAY.

- OKAY. YEAH. - OKAY. PLEASE KEEP IT TOGETHER.

IT'S, UH, HEH, SO TRANQUIL DOWN HERE.

TOTALLY NOT-- NOT CREEPY, AT ALL.

OKAY, OKAY, WOULD YOU RELAX?

THIS ISN'T GONNA TAKE LONG, OKAY?

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT HIPPO HAS MUCH ROOM TO...

...HIDE.

QUIET! HE'LL HEAR US.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT

THERE'S A NORTH AMERICAN GRIZZLY

HANGING OUT WITH A ZEBRA IN A SUBTERRANEAN JUNGLE.

WHAT KIND OF MADMAN DESIGNED THIS PLACE?

LET'S GO.

WALKING, WALKING...

HELLO, JACK.

YOU!

WHY HAVE YOU BEEN LOOKING FOR ME?

SHOW US YOUR FACE.

SILENCE!

I HAVE MANY FACES... AND MANY NAMES.

I DON'T LIKE THIS, JACK!

I DON'T LIKE THIS AT ALL.

DID YOU MAKE ALL OF MY LIES COME TRUE?

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!

YOUR LIES ARE COMING TRUE BECAUSE YOU TOLD THEM SO OFTEN,

THEY STOPPED BEING LIES.

HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP?

GOOD QUESTION. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

WHY, THAT'S THE EASIEST PART OF ALL, JACK.

YOU MUST SIMPLY CONFESS.

CONFESS? CONFESS WHAT?

EVERYTHING!

THE ONLY WAY TO FIGHT LIES IS WITH THE TRUTH.

YOU MUST CONFESS TO EVERYONE THAT YOU'VE HURT.

EVERYONE YOU'VE MISLED.

EVERYONE YOU'VE EVER DECEIVED WITH YOUR LIES.

YEAH, I CAN'T DO THAT.

JACK!

WHAT? WHAT, RYAN?

OKAY, YOU WANT ME TO THROW EVERYTHING AWAY?

STUDENT OF THE YEAR? THE RED SOX?

BECAUSE SOME PURPLE HIPPO TOLD ME TO?

YES! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU SHOULD DO.

BE WARNED--

THE LONGER YOU REFUSE TO CONFESS,

THE WORSE THINGS WILL GET.

HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY GET WORSE?

: YOU'LL SEE.

"CONFESS"? REALLY?

THAT'S THE BIG SOLUTION?

HOW GULLIBLE DOES THIS HIPPO THINK I... AM?

- HEY, RYAN? - YEAH?

YOU REMEMBER ON MY LIST?

THERE WAS THAT TIME I WAS LATE MEETING ERIC,

AND I BLAMED IT ON ALIENS?

NO. HEH. NOPE! I-I DON'T REMEMBER.

I-I REFUSE TO REMEMBER.

WELL, TOO LATE.

I THINK WE'RE ABOUT TO BE ABDUCTED.

NO! SEE, THERE'S-- THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS ALIENS,

THOSE ARE JUST TWO GUYS, YOU KNOW, WEARING WEIRD SUITS,

STANDING ON TOP OF A ROOF.

AND RUNNING DOWN IT!

RUN!

OH! IN HERE!

OKAY. THEY'RE GONE.

YEAH. UGH...

OHH... OKAY.

I JUST NEED, LIKE, TWO MINUTES

WITHOUT COMING FACE-TO-FACE WITH ONE OF MY LIES.

DID YOU THINK YOU COULD GET AWAY FROM US THAT EASY?

WHAT PART OF THIS SEEMS EASY?

TIME TO FINISH THIS.

SHOULDN'T YOU GUYS BE OUT RIDING MOOSE OR SOMETHING?

MOOSE-RIDING SEASON ISN'T TILL OCTOBER.

THIS IS OAK SEASON...

POPLAR SEASON,

AND BUTT-KICKIN' SEASON.

OH, AND ALSO NORWAY SPRUCE.

AND ALSO NORWAY SPRUCE.

HOW ABOUT, THIS TIME, YOU DISTRACT THEM

AND I RUN?

HOW ABOUT WE BOTH RUN?

- DEAL! - OKAY!

HEY! THIS PARKING STRUCTURE IS FOR PAYING CUSTOMERS ONLY!

YOU TWO ARE TRESPASSING.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. ELEVATOR! GO!

I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CALL THE AUTHORITIES!

COME ON. COME ON.

OW! GEEZ.

NOT AGAIN.

COME ON!

WE'RE GOING UP. WHY ARE WE GOING UP?

I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST PUSHED THE FIRST BUTTON I SAW!

WE'LL BE TRAPPED ON THE ROOF.

WHO BUILDS PARKING GARAGES

OUT OF CEMENT?

THESE BOOTS AREN'T MADE FOR RUNNING!

: THE LUMBERJACKS!

GET THAT KID!

I CAN'T BUST THROUGH!

THIS KID IS SERIOUSLY STEPPING UP HIS BARRICADIN'.

YEAH, HE IS.

WHERE TO NOW?

OH! THE FIRE ESCAPE. GO!

PLEASE LET THERE BE A FIRE ESCAPE.

- I'LL GET YOU. - LET'S GO. THIS WAY!

NOPE!

NO PLACE TO RUN NOW!

I GOT YOU.

OH, MAN.

NOT TILL WE POUND HIM INTO SAWDUST!

QUICK!

LIE ABOUT A HELICOPTER.

I DON'T THINK IT WORKS THAT WAY.

WELL, THEN, HOW DOES IT WORK, JACK?

COME ON, TELL ME.

I'M SURE THE GREAT JACK PARKER CAN THINK OF A WAY OUT OF THIS.

GET IN!

THANKS!

THANKS, LISA. YOU'RE THE BEST!

NOT YOU!

WHAT?

YOU BROKE MY HEART, JACKIE BEAR.

LISA, PLEASE!

WHATEVER YOU WANT, I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU.

YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE SELFISH

AND YOU DON'T WANT

YOUR BRAINS SUCKED OUT OF YOUR SKULL BY ALIENS.

OKAY, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?

THE TRUTH.

WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME?

I-- I MADE YOU UP SO MY FRIENDS WOULDN'T MAKE FUN OF ME.

GET IN.

THANK YOU!

OKAY, GO. GO!

DAGNABBIT!

THANK YOU

FOR SAVING US.

WE'D PROBABLY BE GETTING PROBED BY ALIENS RIGHT NOW

IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU.

I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE TROUBLE, JACKIE.

SOMEONE'S GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR YOU.

LISTEN, I'M SORRY I LIED TO YOU.

I NEVER, EVER MEANT TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS.

IT'S JUST...

I'M KIND OF INTO SOMEONE ELSE.

IF YOU LIKE THIS SOMEONE ELSE SO MUCH, JACKIE BEAR,

JUST TRY BEING HONEST WITH HER.

NO ONE WANTS A RELATIONSHIP BUILT ON LIES.

WELL, IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

THAT WAS NUTS.

I KNOW, BUT IT WORKED.

I MEAN, YOU WERE HONEST WITH LISA,

AND SHE LEFT.

THE HIPPO SPEAKS THE TRUTH.

NOW YOU JUST NEED TO DO THE SAME THING

AND WE CAN END ALL THIS.

JACK...

AW, JACK!

I'M JUST SO CLOSE, RYAN.

STUDENT OF THE YEAR GETS ANNOUNCED TOMORROW.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

AFTER EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH?

THE HIPPO SAID I HAD TO CONFESS TO EVERYONE.

HE DIDN'T SAY WHEN.

I'LL JUST DO IT AFTER I WIN "STUDENT OF THE YEAR."

NO, YOU'LL DO IT TOMORROW.

AT THE ASSEMBLY!

YOU CAN TELL EVERYONE AT ONCE AND BE DONE WITH IT.

OKAY, WHAT ABOUT THE SOX?

THERE'S MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN THE SOX!

NOT TO ME.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT YOU!

I THOUGHT YOU HAD MY BACK.

ARE YOU FOR REAL?

I GOT HUMILIATED FOR YOU.

I GOT WEDGIED FOR YOU!

I VIOLATED EVERY RULE IN THE FUNLAND CODE OF CONDUCT

FOR YOU!

I ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK!

I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF YOU HAVE MINE.

COME ON, RYAN.

AND THERE'S ALIENS NOW, DUDE.

ALIENS!

IF I COME CLEAN,

I WILL LOSE EVERYTHING.

MAYBE YOU ALREADY HAVE.

RYAN.

MOM?

DAD?

HANNAH?

IS ANYBODY HOME?

: HEY, SWEETIE! HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

A COMPLETE DISASTER.

I REALLY JUST DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

WHAT'S UP, SPORT?

TAN, HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

"TAN"?

H-- HI.

WHERE ARE MY PARENTS?

HONEY, WE ARE YOUR PARENTS.

UH, YOU ARE NOT MY PARENTS.

JACK, WE MAY NOT BE YOUR BIRTH PARENTS,

BUT WE LOVE YOU JUST AS MUCH AS THEY EVER COULD.

THE CHINESE NEW YEAR LIE.

IT CAME TRUE.

I'VE BEEN ADOPTED BY ASIAN PARENTS.

THAT MEANS--

MOM! DAD!

NO.

WHERE'S HANNAH?

HANNAH?

: LITTLE LATE FOR BATTING PRACTICE, ISN'T IT, KID?

HEY, YOU OKAY?

NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT.

I RUINED EVERYTHING.

I HURT EVERYONE I LOVE.

AND... FOR WHAT?

SO PEOPLE WOULD THINK I WAS COOL?

SO... SO PEOPLE WOULD LIKE ME?

SO I COULD BE THE BAT BOY FOR THE RED SOX?

NONE OF THAT MEANS ANYTHING ANYMORE.

THAT RED SOX THING SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD.

IT SOUNDS GREAT.

BUT IS IT WORTH LOSING YOUR FRIENDS AND YOUR FAMILY

AND THE...

THE GIRL YOU'VE BEEN CRUSHING ON

SINCE GRADE SCHOOL?

WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY...

I WOULD DO...

ANYTHING TO FIX IT.

DANNY KOSTAS?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

SAME THING YOU'RE DOING HERE.

WORKING THROUGH A SLUMP.

WHAT BETTER PLACE TO DO IT

THAN THE PARK WHERE I LEARNED TO PLAY BALL?

I JUST...

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS ONE.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO GET OUT OF A SLUMP, KID.

KEEP SWINGING.

YOU STOP SWINGING... YOU'LL NEVER WIN.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

DANNY KOSTAS, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT'S LIKE-- IT'S LIKE THE HIPPO SAID.

- HIPPO? - LONG STORY.

I'M GONNA DO IT. I'M GONNA SWING FOR THE FENCES.

THANK YOU, DANNY KOSTAS!

CAN I CALL YOU "DANNY"? I'M GONNA CALL YOU "DANNY."

BY THE WAY, UH, "DANNY"--

YOU'RE STEPPING IN THE BUCKET.

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE PULLING TO THE LEFT.

WELL, I'LL BE.

I WAS STEPPING IN THE BUCKET.

DUDE, WHERE'S JACK?

HE'S GONNA MISS HIS OWN VICTORY SPEECH.

WELL, I GUESS WE SHOULD GET STARTED.

AHEM.

"STUDENT OF THE YEAR"

IS OUR SCHOOL'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS HONOR.

IT IS DECIDED BY A PANEL OF TEACHERS,

THE STUDENT COUNCIL,

AND, OF COURSE, YOURS TRULY.

HMM.

EVERYONE UP HERE IS A WINNER.

IT'S JUST THAT SOME WINNERS WIN MORE THAN OTHERS.

AND NOW,

THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR...

THIS YEAR'S STUDENT OF THE YEAR IS...

JACK PARKER-R-R-R-!

I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS HONOR.

I KNOW MIKEY WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU, TOO.

IF... HE WAS REAL.

BUT, UH... HE ISN'T.

WHAT IS HE DOING?

TELLING THE TRUTH.

MIKEY NEVER REALLY EXISTED.

I... I MADE HIM UP,

ALONG WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF--

THE LUMBERJACKS, MY HOT ARIZONA GIRLFRIEND,

ALIENS, MIKEY'S BIONIC DOG,

MY WRESTLER UNCLE, MY ASIAN PARENTS,

BEARS...

WELL, I DIDN'T REALLY MAKE UP BEARS.

THERE'S BEARS.

JUST NOT AT THE CONVENTION CENTER.

AS ALONG AS I'M BEING HONEST,

I HAVEN'T BEEN VERY HONEST.

I, UH, I THOUGHT I WAS MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY

AND GETTING WHAT I WANT.

I DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS...

HURTING THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT.

I JUST WANT TO SAY...

I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE NOMINATED FOR THIS AWARD,

AND I...

DEFINITELY DON'T DESERVE TO WIN IT.

I KNOW I'M IN TROUBLE.

GIVE ME DETENTION.

SUSPEND ME. WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO.

THIS IS A DARK DAY FOR THE BELOW-AVERAGE JOE.

WELL...

I GUESS

THIS YEAR'S AWARD NOW GOES TO OUR RUNNER-UP...

STEPHANIE MILLER.

YES! YES!

OH! I DID IT. I WON!

IN YOUR FACE, PARKER!

PUBLIC LIBRARY, HERE I COME!

YES! I WON!

I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL MY FRIENDS

FOR NOT DISTRACTING ME DURING MY STUDY TIME

AND MY MOM.

HEY.

HEY.

SO...

YEAH.

ME TOO.

YOU DID IT, MAN. IT'S ALL OVER.

YEP.

IT'S ALL OVER.

EXCEPT WHAT'S HE STILL DOING HERE?

HEY, BUDDY. WHERE YOU BEEN?

NO. I DID IT. I DID WHAT THE HIPPO SAID!

YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE! YOU SHOULD BE GONE.

OH, I CAN'T LEAVE YET, JACK.

THERE'S STILL ONE MORE THING WE NEED TO DO.

THERE THEY ARE!

BUT I TOLD THE TRUTH!

WELL, OBVIOUSLY, THEY DIDN'T HEAR IT.

- DUDE? YEP. - ON IT!

- OTHER WAY. - OTHER WAY!

PLEASE, SON, COME BACK TO US.

JACKIE-BEAR!

I CHANGED MY MIND. I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU.

YO, JACK.

HELLO, JACK!

NO.

NO! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?

YOU SAID IF I TOLD THE TRUTH,

ALL OF MY LIES WOULD GO AWAY!

BUT YOU LIED!

YOU'RE THE LIAR!

NOW WE'RE ABOUT TO BE KILLED BY ALIEN LUMBERJACKS!

SILENCE!

HERE'S HOW THE TRUTH SETS YOU FREE.

CALM DOWN.

HANNAH?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE FOREVER!

OKAY, WE HAVE TO GET OUTTA HERE.

THERE ARE ALIENS AND LUMBERJACKS OUT THERE!

NO. NO-NO-NO-NO-NO!

- PLEASE DON'T OPEN THE-- - NO!

JACK.

JACK, WHAT IS HAPPENING?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING!

YOUR LIES WEREN'T REALLY COMING TRUE.

WHAT?

HOW?

YOU DIDN'T THINK

YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD TELL A LIE,

DID YOU?

YOU DID THIS?

ALL OF THIS?

- NO! - NO...

- YEP. - WHY?

I WAS SO SICK OF YOU LYING

AND ALWAYS GETTING AWAY WITH IT,

SO I RECRUITED A FEW FRIENDS FROM MY ACTING CLASS,

AND MY PLAN CAME TOGETHER.

I EXPLAINED TO THEM

HOW OUT OF CONTROL YOUR LYING HAD GOTTEN,

AND HOW YOU HAD TO BE STOPPED--

FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY!

EVERYONE WAS GIVEN THEIR ASSIGNMENTS...

- OH, YEAH! - THERE YOU GO!

...STARTED GETTING INTO CHARACTER...

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THIS THING?

AND THEN, ONE BY ONE, I MADE YOUR LIES COME TRUE.

: PLACES, EVERYONE! WE GO LIVE IN FIVE MINUTES!

: I PLANTED A FEW CLUES ALONG THE WAY,

AND WHEN I THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING STUCK,

I'D GIVE YOU A LITTLE PUSH.

LOOK. ALL I KNOW IS THAT HURLEY'S MAIN HABITAT

IS THE JUNGLE MINI-GOLF COURSE.

TO THE BUS STOP!

: WHEN MOM AND DAD WENT OUT FOR BOWLING NIGHT,

I ASKED MIN AND TAN COME OVER AND HELP DRIVE IT HOME.

MOM AND DAD NEVER EVEN KNEW.

WAIT. WHO ARE THEY?

THEY'RE MY MANDARIN TUTORS!

YOU SPEAK CHINESE?

OKAY, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ALIENS?

OH, BRAD AND TODD ARE REAL STUNT GUYS,

SO THEY DID US A SOLID AND RIGGED IT ALL UP.

HURRY UP AND PUT THOSE IN!

IF I COULD SEE WHAT I WAS DOING,

I WOULDN'T NEED CONTACTS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

YOU HAD ME SCRAMBLING

WITH A COUPLE LAST-MINUTE LIES,

BUT, LUCKILY, TRISH IS MAJORING IN ROBOTICS.

OF COURSE, I HAD TO GET IN ON THAT ACTION MYSELF.

OKAY, BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PICTURES OF ME AND MIKEY,

OR MY ADOPTED PARENTS?

PHOTOSHOP.

THAT IS--

INGENIOUS?

UH, LYLE?

NOT RIGHT NOW.

SORRY.

I WAS GONNA SAY DIABOLICAL.

YEAH.

SOMEONE HAD TO STOP YOU, JACK.

I KNOW YOU'RE A GOOD KID,

BUT IF YOU KEEP LYING TO EVERYONE YOU MEET,

SOON, IT WON'T MATTER.

LIFE IS PRETTY LONELY WHEN NO ONE TRUSTS YOU.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT IS.

WAIT. YOU TRIED TO TEACH JACK

THAT LYING IS BAD

BY LYING TO HIM?

MAN, YOU TWO ARE DEFINITELY RELATED.

SO? HOW'D I DO?

A FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE, MIKEY.

MIKEY? YOUR NAME'S ACTUALLY MIKEY?

YEAH. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

COME ON, GUYS.

READY TO GO?

YEAH. JUST... JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE.

ALRIGHT.

UGH!

OH, THIS THING SMELLS LIKE HANNAH BREATH.

AHEM!

YOU LIED ABOUT MIKEY?

MOM! DAD. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?

PRINCIPAL KAR CALLED.

TOLD US TO GET DOWN HERE.

WE THOUGHT YOU WON!

YOU DIDN'T!

YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE, YOUNG MAN.

ME? IT WAS ALL HANNAH. SHE'S THE ONE--

JACK.

YEAH, I'M GROUNDED. I KNOW.

UGH!

I THOUGHT THEY FOUND THE POSSUM.

HOW'S THE PUNISHMENT GOING?

IS IT BEDTIME YET?

IT'S NOT EVEN NOON.

MM.

WELL, I'M OFF TO THE WIENER PALACE.

OH, BY THE WAY--

YOU MISSED A SPOT.

- OH, YEAH. - YEAH!

HEY, MAN. WHAT'S UP?

OH, YOU KNOW. JUST LIVING THE DREAM.

IF THE DREAM IS SUCKING GARAGE DUST.

: JACK, YOU'RE NOT SITTING DOWN, ARE YOU?

NO--

YES.

RYAN JUST CAME TO VISIT.

THE TRUTH. NICELY DONE.

HOW LONG YOU GROUNDED?

WELL, I'M NOT ALLOWED OUT OF THE HOUSE

UNTIL THE GARAGE IS CLEAN.

WELL, IF WE WORK TOGETHER,

WE SHOULD HAVE YOU OUT OF HERE IN ABOUT A WEEK.

JACK?

WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO BREAK MY DOOR DOWN?

OH! SORRY, SORRY.

YEAH, FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN ALLOWED OUT OF THE HOUSE

IN OVER A WEEK.

GOT A LITTLE EXCITED.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

LISTEN, JENNIFER, I KNOW I MESSED UP,

BUT FROM NOW ON,

I'M GOING TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU.

OKAY.

OKAY. UM...

I LIKE YOU.

A LOT.

LIKE, HEH... "A LOT" A LOT, AND, UH,

I WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU,

AND I WANT YOU TO GET TO KNOW ME, THE REAL ME.

ALL THE GOOD AND THE BAD.

LIKE, UH...

I TALK IN MY SLEEP.

MY FAVORITE FLAVOR IS GRAVY.

I BITE MY TOENAILS.

OH, STOP.

TOO MUCH HONESTY.

RIGHT. SORRY.

STILL TRYING TO GET USED TO TELLING THE TRUTH.

WILL YOU AT LEAST

CONSIDER GIVING ME A SECOND CHANCE?

COME ON...

LET ME MAKE IT UP TO YOU.

FINE.

YOU CAN MAKE IT UP TO ME.

YES! OKAY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?

- RIGHT NOW? - RIGHT NOW!

DANNY KOSTAS OF THE RED SOX IS KIND OF MY BUDDY.

I GAVE HIM SOME HITTING ADVICE. YOU KNOW, NOTHING BIG.

BUT HE SENT HIS LIMO

TO TAKE ME AND ANYBODY I WANT

TO THE RED SOX GAME TODAY,

AND I WANT TO TAKE YOU.

YOU JUST SAID,

"FROM NOW ON, I'M GONNA BE COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU."

I AM.

SEE YOU AT SCHOOL, JACK.

BUT JENNIFER--

SO? WHAT'D SHE SAY?

SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME.

OH.

WELL, TAKE ME TO FENWAY.

YOU HAVE A LIMO?

JENNIFER...

WOULD I LIE TO YOU?
