00:00:36.416 --> 00:00:38.293
First of all,
let me get something straight.

00:00:38.376 --> 00:00:40.420
This is a journal, not a diary.

00:00:42.797 --> 00:00:44.549
When Mom went out to buy this thing,

00:00:44.632 --> 00:00:47.927
I specifically told her not to get a book
that said "Diary" on it.

00:00:48.011 --> 00:00:49.554
But, of course, she didn't listen.

00:00:51.723 --> 00:00:54.017
It's been hard enough getting through
the first week of middle school

00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:56.311
without carrying this thing
around with me.

00:00:57.145 --> 00:00:59.773
Hey, this kid's got a diary.

00:01:01.983 --> 00:01:03.401
A-Actually, it's a jour--

00:01:09.032 --> 00:01:11.743
If Mom's expecting me to write down
my feelings or whatever,

00:01:11.826 --> 00:01:13.495
she's gonna be disappointed.

00:01:15.622 --> 00:01:17.749
The only reason I agreed
to write in this thing at all

00:01:17.832 --> 00:01:20.043
is because one day
I'm gonna be rich and famous.

00:01:20.126 --> 00:01:23.088
And people'll wanna read about my
early years. So I'm doing this for them.

00:01:23.171 --> 00:01:24.964
- Greg is so smart.
- So handsome.

00:01:25.048 --> 00:01:27.717
- So brave.
- And he smells terrific.

00:01:29.511 --> 00:01:31.304
But for now, I'm stuck in middle school…

00:01:32.472 --> 00:01:33.682
…surrounded by morons.

00:01:36.601 --> 00:01:39.020
But luckily, I'm not alone
in this middle school thing.

00:01:39.104 --> 00:01:42.107
My best friend, Rowley,
is in the same grade as me.

00:01:42.691 --> 00:01:44.818
I doubt he's ever gonna be
rich and famous,

00:01:44.901 --> 00:01:46.820
but it's good to have him around
for laughs.

00:01:47.821 --> 00:01:49.948
Did you know
if your hand is bigger than your face,

00:01:50.031 --> 00:01:51.950
it's a sign that your brain is shrinking?

00:01:52.033 --> 00:01:53.034
It is?

00:01:54.202 --> 00:01:55.995
Gotcha.

00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.249
But does this mean my brain is shrinking?

00:01:59.958 --> 00:02:01.376
Not sure.

00:02:01.459 --> 00:02:02.877
Let's check the other hand.

00:02:04.003 --> 00:02:05.797
I'm glad Rowley's along for the ride,

00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:08.133
because everything else
about middle school stinks.

00:02:08.216 --> 00:02:10.385
And I can't believe it was just a week ago

00:02:10.468 --> 00:02:12.721
that me and Rowley were actually
looking forward to this.

00:02:12.804 --> 00:02:14.305
Heads up!

00:02:21.771 --> 00:02:25.233
That was a good one.
You almost hit the front tire that time.

00:02:25.316 --> 00:02:28.737
You just need to slow down a little
so I can get locked in.

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.240
- Let me get this straight.
- Come on, Rowley.

00:02:32.323 --> 00:02:34.159
So in middle school,

00:02:34.242 --> 00:02:36.494
do you just go to a different room
for each class?

00:02:36.578 --> 00:02:37.787
Come on. You got it.

00:02:37.871 --> 00:02:40.540
And you just carry all your stuff
around with you all day?

00:02:40.623 --> 00:02:42.500
No, no. No, no, no.

00:02:42.584 --> 00:02:43.877
They give you a locker

00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.255
so you can just ditch the books you
don't need in between periods.

00:02:47.339 --> 00:02:48.882
W-w-what about recess?

00:02:50.258 --> 00:02:52.177
There's still recess, right?

00:02:52.260 --> 00:02:54.554
I told you, like, a million times, Rowley.

00:02:54.637 --> 00:02:56.723
Recess is an elementary school thing.

00:02:56.806 --> 00:02:59.476
Aw. But I like recess.

00:02:59.976 --> 00:03:02.604
Are you gonna go,
or are you just gonna sit there?

00:03:02.687 --> 00:03:05.565
Don't you want a turn riding?
I've gone three times in a row.

00:03:07.192 --> 00:03:10.820
But you're way better at riding than me.
I can never do it as good as you.

00:03:14.366 --> 00:03:15.367
Woo-hoo!

00:03:26.628 --> 00:03:29.714
Oh, come on, Rodrick! You made me miss!

00:03:29.798 --> 00:03:31.257
I'm okay.

00:03:39.015 --> 00:03:40.850
One of the reasons
I'm friends with Rowley is

00:03:40.934 --> 00:03:43.645
there aren't a whole lot of boys my age
in the neighborhood.

00:03:44.354 --> 00:03:46.690
In fact, aside from Rowley,
there's only really--

00:03:46.773 --> 00:03:48.233
Fregley!

00:03:48.316 --> 00:03:50.568
Why, hello, Greg Heffley.

00:03:51.528 --> 00:03:54.948
Hi, Fregley. I was just, um,
getting-- getting my football.

00:03:55.031 --> 00:03:57.575
Wanna come inside my house for a playdate?

00:03:58.076 --> 00:04:00.620
I can show you my room.

00:04:00.704 --> 00:04:04.332
You know, I'll definitely take you up
on that offer sometime.

00:04:05.917 --> 00:04:06.918
Wanna see my…

00:04:08.420 --> 00:04:09.879
secret freckle?

00:04:19.723 --> 00:04:21.933
Should we do that one over?

00:04:25.186 --> 00:04:26.354
Who's hungry?

00:04:37.490 --> 00:04:40.035
So, did everyone have a good day?

00:04:40.118 --> 00:04:42.829
Frank, don't do that with your food.
It's weird.

00:04:42.912 --> 00:04:45.457
It tastes better this way.

00:04:45.540 --> 00:04:48.043
Hey! Oh!

00:04:48.126 --> 00:04:49.502
I'm still gonna eat it.

00:04:50.712 --> 00:04:53.298
Greg, is that dirt
on your back-to-school clothes?

00:04:53.381 --> 00:04:54.966
Please don't call them that.

00:04:55.050 --> 00:04:57.344
What on earth were you doing
to get so filthy?

00:04:57.427 --> 00:04:59.596
I was throwing a football in the street
with Rowley.

00:05:00.347 --> 00:05:06.144
You were playing a sport with
your feet and hands and not a device.

00:05:06.227 --> 00:05:07.270
Wo-- Wow.

00:05:07.854 --> 00:05:09.022
I guess.

00:05:09.105 --> 00:05:12.108
Mark the calendar, Susan.
Greg here played a sport.

00:05:12.192 --> 00:05:15.236
You weren't playing that game
with Rowley, were you?

00:05:15.320 --> 00:05:17.364
You know you're banned from playing that.

00:05:17.447 --> 00:05:19.657
Somebody is going to get hurt.

00:05:19.741 --> 00:05:20.742
What?

00:05:20.825 --> 00:05:22.369
Oh! Oh, that game?

00:05:22.452 --> 00:05:23.787
No. No way.

00:05:23.870 --> 00:05:25.663
You said we couldn't play that anymore.

00:05:25.747 --> 00:05:28.708
Right. And Rowley's parents
are in full agreement.

00:05:28.792 --> 00:05:29.876
Mm-hmm.

00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.045
Okay, there. All clean.

00:05:36.633 --> 00:05:39.135
Speaking of Rowley,
how's he feeling about Monday?

00:05:39.219 --> 00:05:41.638
Is he looking forward
to his first day of middle school?

00:05:41.721 --> 00:05:42.931
Hmm. I'm not sure.

00:05:43.014 --> 00:05:45.475
I think he might be
a little nervous, actually.

00:05:45.558 --> 00:05:49.562
Well, he's lucky to have you
as a best friend.

00:05:49.646 --> 00:05:52.732
You know, that's all you need to get by
in this world.

00:05:52.816 --> 00:05:54.567
One good friend.

00:05:55.318 --> 00:05:56.319
Yeah.

00:05:56.403 --> 00:05:59.739
And you're lucky to have a big brother

00:05:59.823 --> 00:06:03.118
who's already gone through
the middle school experience.

00:06:03.201 --> 00:06:04.202
Right, Rodrick?

00:06:06.413 --> 00:06:08.123
- Rodrick!
- Huh?

00:06:08.206 --> 00:06:11.418
Take off your headphones.
You know the rule.

00:06:11.501 --> 00:06:15.130
Why don't you give Greg a pep talk
about middle school?

00:06:15.213 --> 00:06:17.424
Greg's going to middle school?

00:06:17.507 --> 00:06:18.842
Yes, Rodrick.

00:06:18.925 --> 00:06:23.346
Why don't you tell him
what he can expect on his first day?

00:06:24.597 --> 00:06:27.684
Here's what you need to know.

00:06:29.894 --> 00:06:32.897
First of all, watch where you sit
on the first day of school,

00:06:32.981 --> 00:06:35.525
because your teacher might make that
your permanent seat.

00:06:37.527 --> 00:06:40.280
Next, don't use the bathroom
on the second floor,

00:06:40.363 --> 00:06:42.449
no matter how bad you have to go.

00:06:42.532 --> 00:06:45.493
There aren't any doors on those stalls.

00:06:45.577 --> 00:06:49.122
And finally, whatever you do,

00:06:49.205 --> 00:06:52.292
don't get the Cheese Touch.

00:06:52.375 --> 00:06:55.462
'Cause if you do,
you might as well be dead.

00:06:57.922 --> 00:06:59.007
Thank you, Rodrick,

00:06:59.090 --> 00:07:01.176
for that wonderful pep talk.

00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:04.262
Greg, please forget
everything that you just heard.

00:07:04.346 --> 00:07:06.556
Especially the nonsense about the cheese.

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.351
But wha-- what's the Cheese Touch?

00:07:10.435 --> 00:07:12.979
It all started
in my first year of middle school.

00:07:13.063 --> 00:07:14.898
No one knows where it came from

00:07:14.981 --> 00:07:16.566
- or who put it there.
- Don't do it!

00:07:16.649 --> 00:07:17.942
One day…
Stay away!

00:07:18.026 --> 00:07:20.528
…a slice of Swiss cheese
appeared on the blacktop.

00:07:20.612 --> 00:07:21.613
Ew!

00:07:21.696 --> 00:07:22.697
At first,

00:07:22.781 --> 00:07:24.240
- no one would go near it.
- Ugh!

00:07:24.324 --> 00:07:25.909
- And then one day…
- Hmm.

00:07:25.992 --> 00:07:28.536
…a kid named Darren Walsh got curious.

00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:29.829
No way!

00:07:29.913 --> 00:07:32.791
And that's what started
the Cheese Touch.

00:07:33.792 --> 00:07:38.296
The only way to get rid of the Cheese
Touch is to give it to someone else.

00:07:40.423 --> 00:07:41.883
Then one day…
-

00:07:41.966 --> 00:07:44.177
…a kid named Abe Hall moved to California.

00:07:44.928 --> 00:07:46.429
He took the Cheese Touch with him.

00:07:46.930 --> 00:07:48.640
But the cheese remained.

00:07:48.723 --> 00:07:51.476
And to this day, it sits on the blacktop,

00:07:51.559 --> 00:07:54.521
waiting to strike again!

00:07:54.604 --> 00:07:56.398
Well, that's terrifying.

00:07:56.481 --> 00:07:58.858
Don't let Rodrick scare you, Greg.

00:07:58.942 --> 00:08:00.944
Middle school's gonna be fun.

00:08:01.027 --> 00:08:05.407
Oh, and please don't mention
the-- the cheese thing to Rowley.

00:08:06.032 --> 00:08:08.368
Honestly,
it-- it'll scare him half to death.

00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:10.328
Who's Rowley?

00:08:10.412 --> 00:08:11.413
Greg's best friend.

00:08:11.496 --> 00:08:14.499
You know, the kid who's over here
almost every single day.

00:08:14.582 --> 00:08:15.834
Oh, him.

00:08:15.917 --> 00:08:18.044
I thought you were babysitting that kid.

00:08:18.128 --> 00:08:19.879
We're the same age.

00:08:19.963 --> 00:08:21.798
He's the same age as y--

00:08:23.717 --> 00:08:27.679
Oh, man. I thought he was, like,
in kindergarten or something.

00:08:28.805 --> 00:08:31.057
Middle school's gonna eat him alive.

00:08:31.141 --> 00:08:32.142
Rodrick.

00:08:33.351 --> 00:08:36.062
Let me give you
one last piece of advice, Greg.

00:08:36.146 --> 00:08:38.773
Middle school is every man for himself.

00:08:38.857 --> 00:08:41.693
You don't need some overgrown baby
weighing you down.

00:08:41.776 --> 00:08:42.861
Rodrick!

00:08:42.944 --> 00:08:44.279
That's enough.

00:08:48.533 --> 00:08:50.744
Greg, come on, man. Trust me.

00:08:50.827 --> 00:08:53.621
Cut him loose now or you both drown.

00:09:25.779 --> 00:09:28.448
- You lose!
- Woo-hoo!

00:09:28.531 --> 00:09:31.659
In your face, Greg! That's three in a row.

00:09:32.410 --> 00:09:33.411
Wanna go again?

00:09:33.495 --> 00:09:35.288
No, that's okay. We can shut it off.

00:09:35.372 --> 00:09:36.581
What's the matter?

00:09:36.664 --> 00:09:39.376
Afraid to lose?

00:09:39.918 --> 00:09:41.711
No, I'm just not in the mood.

00:09:50.887 --> 00:09:52.180
Rowley, cut it out!

00:09:53.556 --> 00:09:54.641
I mean--

00:09:55.266 --> 00:09:57.519
Don't you think
it's time to start acting our age?

00:09:58.186 --> 00:10:00.355
But you always do the chicken thing to me.

00:10:01.022 --> 00:10:02.816
It's not just that, Rowley.

00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:04.067
Look around this room.

00:10:04.150 --> 00:10:08.780
All these stuffed animals, that bedspread,
and what's with this Joshie guy anyway?

00:10:08.863 --> 00:10:10.615
Joshie's from Europe.

00:10:10.699 --> 00:10:14.369
And you're just jealous
because I discovered him first.

00:10:14.452 --> 00:10:17.706
Yeah, I'm jealous that you discovered
some stupid pop star

00:10:17.789 --> 00:10:19.791
whose fans are only six-year-old girls.

00:10:19.874 --> 00:10:21.084
Joshie says,

00:10:21.167 --> 00:10:23.837
"Follow your dreams
and respect your parents."

00:10:24.629 --> 00:10:26.756
Don't you think
it's time to grow up, Rowley?

00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:28.216
You're in middle school now.

00:10:28.299 --> 00:10:29.676
Well, not yet.

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.470
"Be friendly to one another, yes?"

00:10:32.554 --> 00:10:33.972
Come on, Rowley.

00:10:34.055 --> 00:10:35.640
Middle school's no joke.

00:10:35.724 --> 00:10:40.145
There's bullies, and bathrooms with
no stall doors, and permanent seats,

00:10:40.228 --> 00:10:42.188
- and-- and--
- And what?

00:10:42.272 --> 00:10:44.441
And the cheese!

00:10:44.524 --> 00:10:45.942
What's the cheese?

00:10:50.822 --> 00:10:53.366
Please don't mention the cheese thing.

00:10:53.450 --> 00:10:54.868
It'll scare him half to death.

00:10:56.286 --> 00:10:57.287
You know what?

00:10:57.370 --> 00:10:58.830
Forget I said anything.

00:10:59.372 --> 00:11:02.876
Middle school's gonna be just fine.
In fact, it'll be great.

00:11:03.710 --> 00:11:07.714
Yeah, 'cause we're in it together.
Right, Greg? Friends till the end.

00:11:08.715 --> 00:11:10.508
Yeah, friends till the end.

00:11:20.060 --> 00:11:23.146
- Hi, how was your summer?
- My summer was awesome.

00:11:24.147 --> 00:11:25.857
No, I hate camp.

00:11:26.441 --> 00:11:28.693
Oh, my gosh, I love your backpack.

00:11:28.777 --> 00:11:30.653
Did your mom
dress you this morning?

00:11:30.737 --> 00:11:32.280
Look at those high waters.

00:11:32.364 --> 00:11:35.867
I heard that Peter Mud and Alicia
Tango got their braces stuck together

00:11:35.950 --> 00:11:38.119
- over the summer.
- Move to the side, shrimp.

00:11:38.995 --> 00:11:42.791
- Come on. Let's go. I don't wanna be late.
- But what about the-- the cheese?

00:11:42.874 --> 00:11:45.043
That's just some stupid fairy tale
Rodrick made up.

00:11:45.877 --> 00:11:48.088
Stop trying to copy my style, please.

00:11:50.423 --> 00:11:52.634
Nice mom jeans, Kelsey.

00:11:53.468 --> 00:11:54.552
Hair color…

00:11:54.636 --> 00:11:57.263
You know,
maybe this isn't such a good idea.

00:11:57.347 --> 00:11:59.224
Maybe my mom can homeschool me.

00:11:59.307 --> 00:12:00.517
Come on, Rowley.

00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:02.185
You can do this.

00:12:02.268 --> 00:12:06.398
We can do this. We just need
to find our lockers and we'll be fine.

00:12:06.481 --> 00:12:07.732
Heads up.

00:12:07.816 --> 00:12:09.150
Whoa!

00:12:10.777 --> 00:12:11.778
Ugh!

00:12:12.487 --> 00:12:14.781
But I gotta go to the bathroom!

00:12:15.657 --> 00:12:16.658
Ugh!

00:12:25.792 --> 00:12:29.087
…sanitary.

00:12:29.170 --> 00:12:30.797
Yep. Homeschool for sure.

00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:31.881
One step at a time.

00:12:31.965 --> 00:12:34.551
Don't make eye contact,
and they won't even notice you're here.

00:12:34.634 --> 00:12:36.678
You better not be looking
at my boyfriend, Kelsey.

00:12:38.972 --> 00:12:41.224
Come on. I was eating that.

00:12:45.061 --> 00:12:46.479
Help me.

00:12:49.649 --> 00:12:50.984
Mm-mmm.

00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:53.361
That was close.

00:12:55.071 --> 00:12:57.574
Kindergarten's
down the street.

00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:00.201
Not so bad.

00:13:00.285 --> 00:13:02.370
And look.
Our lockers are right next to each other.

00:13:02.454 --> 00:13:04.247
Yes!

00:13:05.498 --> 00:13:07.417
Look. They keep our schedules in here.

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:08.835
Cool. Let me see yours.

00:13:09.419 --> 00:13:11.796
But they don't match.

00:13:11.880 --> 00:13:14.674
Well, we've got lunch together.
We'll see each other then.

00:13:16.217 --> 00:13:17.677
- Oh, hey!
- See ya!

00:13:17.761 --> 00:13:18.970
What do we do now?

00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:20.764
We go to homeroom.

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:22.724
Mine's right here.

00:13:23.308 --> 00:13:25.310
Yours is upstairs, I think.

00:13:25.393 --> 00:13:27.562
There's an upstairs?

00:13:28.396 --> 00:13:30.565
- Out of the way, runt.
- Move to the side, shrimp.

00:13:30.648 --> 00:13:32.609
- Step aside, little man.
- Yes, not for long, little man.

00:13:32.692 --> 00:13:36.654
Greg! What do I do? What do I do?

00:13:37.322 --> 00:13:38.865
There was no time
to worry about Rowley,

00:13:38.948 --> 00:13:41.326
because I needed to focus
on my own situation.

00:13:58.718 --> 00:14:01.805
I was glad Rodrick gave me a few
pointers, so I knew what not to do.

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:08.770
- Oh, hey.
- Yeah. Awesome.

00:14:11.731 --> 00:14:12.816
Uh…

00:14:21.324 --> 00:14:22.325
Exactly!

00:14:23.910 --> 00:14:25.078
- But it turns out…
- Shh.

00:14:25.161 --> 00:14:27.330
…having an older brother
who went to the same school

00:14:27.414 --> 00:14:29.582
isn't such a good thing after all.

00:14:29.666 --> 00:14:31.543
- Greg Heffley?
- Huh?

00:14:31.626 --> 00:14:34.045
As in Rodrick Heffley's brother?

00:14:34.713 --> 00:14:37.465
You'll be sitting
in the chair in front of my desk.

00:14:42.262 --> 00:14:44.806
Oh!

00:14:44.889 --> 00:14:46.766
Bro, dude's with the weirdo.

00:14:46.850 --> 00:14:49.811
Just about everything's different
from elementary school.

00:14:52.564 --> 00:14:54.232
Wouldn't want to be him.

00:14:54.315 --> 00:14:55.984
Mm-hmm.

00:14:57.068 --> 00:14:59.696
And the biggest change
is who's popular and who's not.

00:14:59.779 --> 00:15:01.740
Back in elementary school,
it was simple.

00:15:01.823 --> 00:15:04.284
If you were the fastest runner,
you were the most popular.

00:15:04.367 --> 00:15:05.410
In fifth grade…

00:15:05.493 --> 00:15:07.287
…the fastest runner was Ronnie McCoy.

00:15:07.370 --> 00:15:09.205
But now, all the rules have changed.

00:15:10.165 --> 00:15:12.667
Now it's all about whether or not
you have cool hair

00:15:12.751 --> 00:15:14.919
and how many followers
you have on social media.

00:15:15.754 --> 00:15:16.755
In middle school,

00:15:16.838 --> 00:15:19.591
a kid like George Deveney
is at the top of the food chain,

00:15:19.674 --> 00:15:23.303
and Ronnie McCoy is scratching his head
wondering what the heck happened.

00:15:23.386 --> 00:15:26.639
So what I'm trying to figure out
is where I fit into all this.

00:15:26.723 --> 00:15:30.685
I'm sure I'm not at the top of the ladder,
but at least I'm not at the bottom.

00:15:31.853 --> 00:15:33.521
Does this scab smell funny to you?

00:15:34.356 --> 00:15:36.441
But there's one way for sure
to get to the bottom.

00:15:36.524 --> 00:15:37.525
Come on!

00:15:37.609 --> 00:15:40.028
- Run! Yeah!
- Yo, get in there for the rebound, dude.

00:15:41.029 --> 00:15:42.781
And nobody's risking that.

00:15:47.452 --> 00:15:49.704
What are you standing around for?

00:15:49.788 --> 00:15:51.122
Get the ball!

00:15:51.706 --> 00:15:53.124
Ew. It's so gross.

00:15:56.920 --> 00:16:00.674
- Hey, what did you get for lunch?
- Today I have a jacket.

00:16:01.466 --> 00:16:02.842
Looks pretty full up.

00:16:03.885 --> 00:16:04.886
Oh, hey.

00:16:04.969 --> 00:16:08.932
Try your luck with someone else.
Maybe try the table next door.

00:16:09.015 --> 00:16:11.017
Eighth-graders only, newbies.

00:16:11.101 --> 00:16:12.644
Should we sit with the girls?

00:16:12.727 --> 00:16:14.521
We're out of our league here.

00:16:14.604 --> 00:16:15.605
Hey! Over there.

00:16:17.148 --> 00:16:18.400
- Take a hike.
- Hey.

00:16:18.483 --> 00:16:20.819
- Band members only.
- Not today, guys.

00:16:21.569 --> 00:16:22.821
Over there. Let's go!

00:16:22.904 --> 00:16:24.989
Yeah?
Check back when we're not so busy.

00:16:29.160 --> 00:16:30.328
Uh…

00:16:31.454 --> 00:16:33.456
There's two!

00:16:36.710 --> 00:16:38.169
And another thing.

00:16:38.253 --> 00:16:41.047
Don't use the bathroom
on the second floor.

00:16:41.131 --> 00:16:43.675
That was a big mistake.

00:16:43.758 --> 00:16:46.511
Yeah, I probably
should have warned you about that.

00:16:49.389 --> 00:16:52.434
I can't deal with this.
I need to be sitting at a table.

00:16:52.517 --> 00:16:55.353
But you said only popular kids
get seats at the table.

00:16:55.437 --> 00:16:58.481
Well, I heard Charlie Davies
is getting braces next week,

00:16:58.565 --> 00:17:00.400
so he'll definitely
drop a few spots for sure.

00:17:00.483 --> 00:17:02.986
But that's only one spot. We need two.

00:17:05.530 --> 00:17:09.659
That's all the time we get?
I didn't even get to finish my juice box.

00:17:09.743 --> 00:17:11.911
We gotta go to fifth period, Rowley.

00:17:11.995 --> 00:17:14.330
I'll meet you back here
at the door after school.

00:17:14.414 --> 00:17:16.708
But I don't want to go back out there.

00:17:16.791 --> 00:17:19.127
Keep a low profile and you'll be fine.

00:17:21.379 --> 00:17:22.881
Think good thoughts, Rowley.

00:17:22.964 --> 00:17:26.760
Good thoughts, Rowley. Good thoughts.

00:17:27.552 --> 00:17:28.887
Hey, Greg!

00:17:28.970 --> 00:17:32.265
After school, wanna come over and play?

00:17:32.349 --> 00:17:35.518
Play, play, play, play, play…

00:17:43.693 --> 00:17:45.111
Play.

00:17:45.195 --> 00:17:46.613
Play.

00:17:46.696 --> 00:17:48.948
- Play.
- Play.

00:18:04.089 --> 00:18:07.300
- Hey, kid. Wanna come over and play?
- Huh?

00:18:07.384 --> 00:18:09.260
Um, no, thank you.

00:18:09.344 --> 00:18:10.512
Psst! Rowley!

00:18:10.595 --> 00:18:14.140
There you are! You said we were gonna
meet at the back door.

00:18:14.224 --> 00:18:15.850
"Hang out," Rowley.

00:18:15.934 --> 00:18:18.770
You say "hang out" in middle school,
not "play."

00:18:18.853 --> 00:18:20.647
I've told you that a million times.

00:18:20.730 --> 00:18:23.566
Oh, yeah. Sorry.

00:18:23.650 --> 00:18:25.860
Seriously,
you gotta start listening to me, Rowley.

00:18:25.944 --> 00:18:27.529
You're gonna get us both killed.

00:18:28.113 --> 00:18:32.784
So, do you wanna hang out
and "do" video games?

00:18:32.867 --> 00:18:33.868
Better.

00:18:36.705 --> 00:18:38.998
Thankfully,
Rowley did start listening to me.

00:18:39.082 --> 00:18:41.251
We made it through
the next few weeks alive.

00:18:42.377 --> 00:18:45.839
But by the time Halloween rolled around,
Rowley started to slip again.

00:18:46.923 --> 00:18:49.926
Do you think our teachers will let us
wear our costumes to school tomorrow?

00:18:50.010 --> 00:18:53.805
No, Rowley. No!
Have I not taught you anything?

00:18:53.888 --> 00:18:56.307
They had a costume parade
in elementary school.

00:18:56.391 --> 00:19:00.061
Right, elementary school.
We're in middle school now, remember?

00:19:00.770 --> 00:19:02.605
Yeah, you keep reminding me.

00:19:02.689 --> 00:19:05.150
Listen. The only reason
I'm trick-or-treating this year

00:19:05.233 --> 00:19:06.276
is for the candy.

00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.237
And I really don't want anyone
knowing we're doing this, okay?

00:19:09.320 --> 00:19:12.449
- I guess.
- Listen, things are hard enough at school.

00:19:12.532 --> 00:19:14.993
I just don't wanna put a target
on our backs, you know?

00:19:15.702 --> 00:19:16.745
Fine.

00:19:16.828 --> 00:19:19.330
So wear something
that doesn't attract too much attention.

00:19:19.414 --> 00:19:21.958
- Seriously, we have to be invisible.
- Got it.

00:19:33.178 --> 00:19:35.430
Ooh!
Is that our first trick-or-treater?

00:19:35.513 --> 00:19:37.599
- Can someone get the door?
- I'm on it.

00:19:46.191 --> 00:19:48.193
What? Huh?

00:19:51.321 --> 00:19:55.492
Rowley, what are you doing?
I thought we said we were being invisible?

00:19:55.575 --> 00:19:58.536
- My mom made me add safety stuff.
- We can deal with costume stuff later.

00:19:58.620 --> 00:19:59.621
- Bubby.
- Greg?

00:19:59.704 --> 00:20:00.914
Let's get out of here before--

00:20:00.997 --> 00:20:03.083
You weren't gonna leave without Manny,
were you?

00:20:03.166 --> 00:20:06.336
- Rowley, you look adorable.
- Come on.

00:20:06.419 --> 00:20:08.922
Mom, can't someone else take Manny?

00:20:09.005 --> 00:20:13.134
Well, Rodrick's at the high school party,
I'm going to be handing out the candy,

00:20:13.218 --> 00:20:17.681
and Dad is doing that thing
that he does on Halloween.

00:20:17.764 --> 00:20:20.892
Okay. Man your stations.
Well, I'll man mine.

00:20:20.975 --> 00:20:24.145
Just making sure we're not getting
toilet-papered this year.

00:20:24.688 --> 00:20:27.190
It takes too long to get that off.
No, no. It's not happening.

00:20:27.273 --> 00:20:29.609
Good thoughts. All positivity.

00:20:29.693 --> 00:20:31.569
But Manny will just slow us down.

00:20:31.653 --> 00:20:33.905
We're trying to double our territory
this year, Mom.

00:20:33.988 --> 00:20:36.574
Well, there are only so many houses
in our neighborhood.

00:20:36.658 --> 00:20:37.826
Wait a minute.

00:20:37.909 --> 00:20:41.329
You're not planning to take the shortcut
through Snake Road, are you?

00:20:41.413 --> 00:20:42.956
What? No.

00:20:45.083 --> 00:20:46.751
That-- That would be crazy.

00:20:46.835 --> 00:20:51.089
Good. Because you would be in big trouble
if you did.

00:20:51.172 --> 00:20:53.967
Right, Manny?

00:20:55.635 --> 00:20:58.096
Keep to the sidewalks,
and I want you back at 8:00.

00:20:58.179 --> 00:20:59.264
It's a school night.

00:20:59.347 --> 00:21:01.224
8:00? 8:00 a.m.?

00:21:01.307 --> 00:21:03.643
All right. I-- I mean, I'm fine with that.

00:21:05.228 --> 00:21:08.148
Fine. 8:30 and not a second later.

00:21:08.231 --> 00:21:11.109
Oh, Rowley, you know what?
Those glow sticks are a great idea.

00:21:11.192 --> 00:21:13.945
Let me see if I have any in the pantry.

00:21:14.029 --> 00:21:15.280
Okay, time to go.

00:21:15.363 --> 00:21:17.449
Come on, Manny.
You wanna get some candy?

00:21:17.532 --> 00:21:18.825
Arr!

00:21:19.659 --> 00:21:21.870
- Thank you.
- Isn't he in your class?

00:21:22.370 --> 00:21:25.081
- That's a kiddy costume!
- All right! Let's go!

00:21:25.165 --> 00:21:26.833
It's the Prince of Preschool.

00:21:28.168 --> 00:21:29.586
What a dork.

00:21:31.379 --> 00:21:32.380
Trick or treat.

00:21:33.631 --> 00:21:35.008
Trick or treat.

00:21:35.842 --> 00:21:38.720
- Candy.
- Aw. Here, take five.

00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:41.181
Yay!

00:21:41.806 --> 00:21:43.016
Thanks.

00:21:43.099 --> 00:21:44.851
Aren't you too old for trick or treat?

00:21:51.358 --> 00:21:52.567
What the heck?

00:21:55.945 --> 00:21:57.614
Aw.

00:21:59.449 --> 00:22:00.575
Bye.

00:22:04.454 --> 00:22:06.081
Unbelievable.

00:22:10.377 --> 00:22:13.421
Come on, guys.
We need to pick up the pace a little.

00:22:13.505 --> 00:22:14.714
You guys are killing me.

00:22:26.601 --> 00:22:27.811
Hi.

00:22:28.353 --> 00:22:30.939
Is that a cute little pirate I see?

00:22:31.022 --> 00:22:32.023
Mm-hmm.

00:22:34.109 --> 00:22:35.068
Aw.

00:22:35.151 --> 00:22:37.237
Here's some extra booty for your bucket.

00:22:37.320 --> 00:22:38.738
- Biggie!
- Seriously?

00:22:38.822 --> 00:22:41.908
King-size?
It'll take you a week to get through that.

00:22:41.991 --> 00:22:43.034
Bubby!

00:22:47.497 --> 00:22:48.498
Hmm…

00:22:49.666 --> 00:22:51.918
- Do you see what's happening here, Rowley?
- Hmm? Aw.

00:22:52.001 --> 00:22:53.712
This kid's our golden ticket!

00:22:58.425 --> 00:23:00.427
Hmm?

00:23:00.510 --> 00:23:02.137
Aw.

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:03.972
There you go.

00:23:04.055 --> 00:23:05.223
Oh, yes!

00:23:05.306 --> 00:23:07.183
Yay!

00:23:08.935 --> 00:23:10.353
Bubby! Candy!

00:23:14.357 --> 00:23:16.568
I can't believe we never thought
of bringing Manny.

00:23:16.651 --> 00:23:18.862
- This kid's a gold mine.
- Yeah.

00:23:18.945 --> 00:23:21.531
So we'll stop by my house,
empty these bags in my room,

00:23:21.614 --> 00:23:23.450
then head back out for another round,
okay?

00:23:23.533 --> 00:23:27.495
I don't know. I mean, Manny looks tired.

00:23:27.579 --> 00:23:29.372
He's fine. Aren't you, Manny?

00:23:32.417 --> 00:23:33.626
See? That was a nod.

00:23:33.710 --> 00:23:36.546
Actually, I'm kind of tired too.

00:23:37.130 --> 00:23:40.175
Come on, Rowley.
We can stock up on candy for the year!

00:23:40.258 --> 00:23:42.260
We can't let this opportunity go to waste.

00:23:42.344 --> 00:23:44.137
But we don't need that much candy.

00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:47.098
Seriously?
You can never have too much candy, Rowley.

00:23:47.182 --> 00:23:50.435
Candy's like money in middle school.
We can buy someone's lunch seats off them.

00:23:51.770 --> 00:23:53.980
How about just like
a couple more houses, okay?

00:23:55.565 --> 00:23:56.733
It's the end of the night.

00:23:56.816 --> 00:23:58.651
Everyone's looking
to get rid of their candy.

00:23:58.735 --> 00:24:00.945
- We can make a killing.
- I don't know.

00:24:01.029 --> 00:24:03.907
Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna hit Whirley Street.

00:24:03.990 --> 00:24:06.826
Whirley Street?
But that's like a mile from here.

00:24:06.910 --> 00:24:09.329
- Not if we take a shortcut.
- Snake Road?

00:24:09.871 --> 00:24:12.832
- Don't you remember what your mom said?
- She'll never even know.

00:24:12.916 --> 00:24:16.419
Twenty more minutes and we'll be back
at my house eating our candy. I promise.

00:24:18.171 --> 00:24:19.756
We're not little kids anymore.

00:24:30.183 --> 00:24:31.726
All right. That's my boy.

00:24:57.210 --> 00:24:59.212
I-- I think we made a mistake.

00:24:59.295 --> 00:25:02.090
It's gonna be worth it, Rowley.
Just think about all the candy.

00:25:02.173 --> 00:25:04.009
I don't even like candy all that much.

00:25:04.092 --> 00:25:07.095
Rowley, do not say that.
Don't even joke about it.

00:25:07.178 --> 00:25:10.807
Do you think the Goat Man is gonna get us?

00:25:10.890 --> 00:25:13.768
Are you kidding me, Rowley?
That's obviously a made-up story.

00:25:13.852 --> 00:25:17.522
- Rodrick was just trying to scare us.
- That's what you said about the cheese.

00:25:17.605 --> 00:25:19.357
And that was real.

00:25:19.441 --> 00:25:22.068
Yeah, well, a half-man, half-goat?

00:25:22.152 --> 00:25:24.279
It's not even physically possible, Rowley.

00:25:32.954 --> 00:25:33.955
But--

00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:36.499
But if the Goat Man was real,

00:25:36.583 --> 00:25:39.627
do you think he's a goat on the top
and a person on the bottom?

00:25:40.253 --> 00:25:41.796
Or the other way around?

00:25:42.464 --> 00:25:44.507
Or do you think
he's got a split down the middle

00:25:44.591 --> 00:25:47.052
with a goat on the left side
and a person on the right?

00:25:48.219 --> 00:25:50.972
Can we stop talking about this?
I think I hear some--

00:25:58.396 --> 00:25:59.481
Teenagers!

00:26:00.148 --> 00:26:01.983
<c.colorFF9966><i>♫  Breaking the law, breaking the law  ♫</i></c>

00:26:02.067 --> 00:26:04.235
Whoa! That was close!

00:26:04.778 --> 00:26:07.781
Yeah. Um, let's just keep moving before--

00:26:16.873 --> 00:26:19.417
<c.colorFF9966><i>♫  Breaking the law, breaking the law  ♫</i></c>

00:26:20.043 --> 00:26:21.544
<c.colorFF9966><i>♫  Breaking the law, breaking the law  ♫</i></c>

00:26:22.796 --> 00:26:23.963
<c.colorFF9966><i>♫  Breaking the law, break--  ♫</i></c>

00:26:25.715 --> 00:26:29.552
Look at these little nerds,
out past their bedtimes.

00:26:29.636 --> 00:26:33.765
Yeah. Shouldn't you be getting
a good night's sleep?

00:26:39.312 --> 00:26:42.190
Actually, we're in middle school.
My bedtime's not until 9:00.

00:26:42.273 --> 00:26:44.609
Mom let me stay up extra tonight.

00:26:44.693 --> 00:26:47.570
Yeah, we-- we better head home.
Have a good night, fellas.

00:26:48.655 --> 00:26:51.533
Ooh! Look at those bags.
Is that all candy?

00:26:52.075 --> 00:26:55.745
Mostly. But my parents handed out
miniature toothbrushes this year,

00:26:55.829 --> 00:26:57.414
so we've got those too.

00:26:57.497 --> 00:27:00.959
We-- We'd really better get going now.

00:27:01.042 --> 00:27:05.088
It would be a real pity
if that candy got wet.

00:27:17.809 --> 00:27:19.144
- What?
- Huh?

00:27:23.732 --> 00:27:25.900
Greg, run!

00:27:30.655 --> 00:27:32.282
Let's go!

00:27:39.789 --> 00:27:41.374
Hang on to Manny!

00:27:49.966 --> 00:27:51.801
Whoa!

00:27:55.221 --> 00:27:56.848
Yeah!

00:28:07.734 --> 00:28:09.652
Yeah, baby!

00:28:11.404 --> 00:28:13.156
Not so fast!

00:28:14.324 --> 00:28:15.241
Whoo!

00:28:34.219 --> 00:28:35.261
Oh, yes!

00:28:36.638 --> 00:28:38.807
You'll pay for this!

00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:44.771
We know where you go to school!

00:28:48.775 --> 00:28:50.026
Whoa!

00:28:59.744 --> 00:29:00.745
Is this…

00:29:01.663 --> 00:29:03.873
My yard! We made it, Rowley.

00:29:03.957 --> 00:29:05.458
We're alive!

00:29:06.584 --> 00:29:07.627
I told you, Rowley.

00:29:07.711 --> 00:29:10.005
If you just stick with me,
everything will be fine.

00:29:10.088 --> 00:29:12.549
Now let's get inside
and enjoy some of this candy.

00:29:15.093 --> 00:29:16.720
Ha ha! Oh!

00:29:16.803 --> 00:29:19.639
Sorry. I-I thought you were teenagers.

00:29:19.723 --> 00:29:20.849
Are you all right?

00:29:21.433 --> 00:29:22.559
You're all right.

00:29:23.768 --> 00:29:25.437
We were worried sick about you two.

00:29:25.520 --> 00:29:26.771
- Mama.
- Where were you boys?

00:29:28.023 --> 00:29:29.524
Snake Road.

00:29:30.692 --> 00:29:31.818
Busted.

00:29:31.901 --> 00:29:34.696
Mom grounded me
from playing video games for a week,

00:29:34.779 --> 00:29:36.156
which is her go-to punishment.

00:29:36.239 --> 00:29:39.909
That meant I had to figure out something
else to do with my time after school.

00:29:39.993 --> 00:29:41.036
Woo-hoo!

00:29:42.620 --> 00:29:43.621
Woo-hoo!

00:29:50.253 --> 00:29:53.089
I'm thinking I might either
run for student council

00:29:53.173 --> 00:29:56.676
or maybe sign up for the dance committee.
Or maybe I'll try out for the play.

00:29:56.760 --> 00:29:59.137
- They're doing Wizard of Oz this year.
- Uh-huh.

00:29:59.220 --> 00:30:00.930
Chirag Gupta wants to be Toto,

00:30:01.014 --> 00:30:04.601
and Patty Farrell says
Mrs. Norton already promised her Dorothy.

00:30:04.684 --> 00:30:08.688
I'm trying to decide if I wanna try out
for the Scarecrow or the Cowardly Lion.

00:30:08.772 --> 00:30:11.483
Sounds great, Rowley.
Can you go now?

00:30:11.566 --> 00:30:13.610
Well,
aren't you gonna sign up for anything?

00:30:13.693 --> 00:30:17.697
My mom says, "It's important to belong to
something when you're in middle school."

00:30:17.781 --> 00:30:18.990
Belong to something?

00:30:19.074 --> 00:30:22.118
Rowley, I can't even get a seat at lunch,
and I'm sick and tired of it.

00:30:22.202 --> 00:30:23.411
But if we were in the play,

00:30:23.495 --> 00:30:26.581
we could make friends who could invite us
to sit at their lunch table.

00:30:26.664 --> 00:30:29.709
That's a lot of work, Rowley.
And it'll take too much of my time.

00:30:29.793 --> 00:30:31.378
I need to change my situation now!

00:30:40.595 --> 00:30:42.055
Oh, yeah!

00:30:43.473 --> 00:30:45.975
Whoa!

00:30:46.059 --> 00:30:47.310
Hey, oh!

00:30:47.977 --> 00:30:49.062
Rowley!

00:30:50.647 --> 00:30:53.983
You okay? I feel so bad!
I really didn't mean to flip you.

00:30:55.860 --> 00:30:57.404
I think I hurt my arm.

00:30:57.487 --> 00:30:59.989
Yeah, I think I might have pulled
something myself.

00:31:00.532 --> 00:31:02.826
Can you believe that throw though?
I mean--

00:31:04.411 --> 00:31:05.453
Ow.

00:31:05.537 --> 00:31:07.163
Oh, man. You're really hurt.

00:31:09.207 --> 00:31:10.875
I think I'd better go home.

00:31:11.418 --> 00:31:14.379
Okay. But you can't tell your parents
how this happened.

00:31:14.462 --> 00:31:17.340
If my mom found out
we were playing this game, she'd go nuts.

00:31:17.424 --> 00:31:20.051
- I'm already grounded.
- What am I supposed to tell them then?

00:31:20.135 --> 00:31:23.179
Just say you were playing tag
and that you tripped on the curb.

00:31:23.263 --> 00:31:25.807
But whatever you do,
don't mention the Rumble Trike.

00:31:29.102 --> 00:31:30.103
Got it?

00:31:30.687 --> 00:31:31.688
Got it.

00:31:38.153 --> 00:31:41.197
- So what happened at the hospital?
- They took a bunch of X-rays.

00:31:41.281 --> 00:31:43.241
The doctor says my arm is broken.

00:31:43.324 --> 00:31:44.409
Broken?

00:31:44.492 --> 00:31:47.037
Oh, man. I thought it was just
bruised or something.

00:31:47.120 --> 00:31:49.914
Nope. I've got a cast and everything.

00:31:49.998 --> 00:31:52.125
A cast? That's serious!

00:31:52.208 --> 00:31:53.585
Yeah, I know.

00:31:53.668 --> 00:31:55.879
I mean,
that's really awful and everything.

00:31:56.921 --> 00:31:58.631
- But do you know what this means?
- Yeah.

00:31:58.715 --> 00:32:02.344
I have to put a plastic bag over my arm
in the shower for a whole month.

00:32:02.427 --> 00:32:05.347
No! What this means for school.

00:32:06.264 --> 00:32:10.101
I guess I can't do
the wrestling unit in Phys Ed?

00:32:10.185 --> 00:32:13.188
Rowley! A cast is the greatest
thing that can happen to a kid.

00:32:13.271 --> 00:32:15.065
- It is?
- Yes, Rowley.

00:32:15.148 --> 00:32:18.234
- Everyone's gonna wanna sign it.
- What? They will?

00:32:18.318 --> 00:32:21.196
Yes. Kids will be begging you
to sit at their lunch table.

00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.280
Yeah.

00:32:22.364 --> 00:32:24.866
And I hope you'll remember
who your real friends are, Rowley.

00:32:24.949 --> 00:32:27.035
The people who helped you get
to where you are.

00:32:27.118 --> 00:32:28.828
- Yeah.
- What about your parents?

00:32:28.912 --> 00:32:29.996
Are they suspicious?

00:32:30.080 --> 00:32:33.333
I told them I tripped on a rock
playing Duck, Duck, Goose, like you said.

00:32:33.416 --> 00:32:34.751
Like I said?

00:32:34.834 --> 00:32:37.962
We were playing tag, Rowley!
And you tripped over the curb.

00:32:38.046 --> 00:32:41.591
It doesn't even make sense for two people
to play Duck, Duck, Goose. Come on!

00:32:41.675 --> 00:32:45.387
- Oh, yeah. Sorry.
- We gotta get our story straight,

00:32:45.470 --> 00:32:47.389
or they're gonna find out
about the Rumble Trike.

00:32:47.472 --> 00:32:49.599
Did you say, "Rumble Trike"?

00:32:55.605 --> 00:32:57.941
I don't know
what to do with you, Greg.

00:32:58.024 --> 00:33:00.694
First you disobey me and go to Snake Road.

00:33:00.777 --> 00:33:02.779
Then you play that-- that game.

00:33:02.862 --> 00:33:05.824
I told you someone
was going to get hurt playing that.

00:33:05.907 --> 00:33:07.742
I'm sorry, Mom. I just…

00:33:10.995 --> 00:33:12.997
Lying to me is bad enough,

00:33:13.081 --> 00:33:17.544
but telling Rowley to lie to his parents
is just-- just--

00:33:20.338 --> 00:33:21.548
Mom, I know I messed up.

00:33:22.590 --> 00:33:24.926
You can take away my video games
for the month.

00:33:25.010 --> 00:33:26.636
The year if it makes you feel better.

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:29.889
Punishing you doesn't make me feel better,
Greg.

00:33:29.973 --> 00:33:31.766
I'm trying to raise a good kid.

00:33:31.850 --> 00:33:33.518
I do wanna be good, Mom.

00:33:34.644 --> 00:33:36.229
Well, then here's what you need to do.

00:33:36.312 --> 00:33:40.066
You need to figure out a way
to make things right by Rowley.

00:33:41.109 --> 00:33:42.527
You owe that to him.

00:33:43.278 --> 00:33:45.613
That boy is such a good friend to you.

00:33:46.489 --> 00:33:47.490
Yeah, Mom.

00:33:48.366 --> 00:33:50.493
I can't tell you how to make things right.

00:33:51.327 --> 00:33:52.704
That part is up to you.

00:33:56.249 --> 00:33:59.919
- But Mom…
- Listen to that inner voice, Greg.

00:34:01.046 --> 00:34:02.380
I know it's in there.

00:34:03.131 --> 00:34:04.382
Do the right thing.

00:34:10.180 --> 00:34:12.849
Okay,
I know what my mom wanted me to do.

00:34:12.932 --> 00:34:15.935
She wanted me to tell Rowley's parents
the truth about what happened.

00:34:16.978 --> 00:34:20.648
But here's the thing.
Rowley's dad has never really liked me.

00:34:20.732 --> 00:34:23.068
I knew if I told him what really happened,

00:34:23.151 --> 00:34:25.612
it was just gonna make him
like me even less.

00:34:25.695 --> 00:34:27.322
That wouldn't make things any better.

00:34:28.031 --> 00:34:29.908
I don't wanna get Rowley in trouble
for lying,

00:34:29.991 --> 00:34:31.785
'cause then he'd be in trouble too.

00:34:31.868 --> 00:34:36.623
So, I decided the right thing to do
was to just let things be.

00:34:40.877 --> 00:34:43.755
Because telling the truth
would make things worse for everybody.

00:34:54.891 --> 00:34:56.976
- Ooh.
- Oh, my gosh. What happened?

00:34:57.060 --> 00:34:59.270
- It looks so cool.
- Oh, you're so great.

00:35:00.188 --> 00:35:01.189
Can I sign it?

00:35:01.272 --> 00:35:03.817
And I'll tell you another thing
that I was right about.

00:35:05.443 --> 00:35:08.780
That cast. In fact, it worked even better
than I thought it would.

00:35:11.074 --> 00:35:12.325
It's so cool.

00:35:14.661 --> 00:35:17.914
Just like I predicted, getting
a seat at lunch was no problem at all.

00:35:24.963 --> 00:35:26.840
Well,
at least for Rowley it wasn't a problem.

00:35:26.923 --> 00:35:29.384
Here comes the airplane.

00:35:32.971 --> 00:35:35.682
- Nom!
- Here comes the train!

00:35:35.765 --> 00:35:39.561
Chugga chugga chugga, choo choo!

00:35:41.896 --> 00:35:43.648
He can feed himself just fine, okay?

00:35:43.732 --> 00:35:45.233
Mmm.

00:35:45.316 --> 00:35:47.027
You know Rowley's left-handed?

00:35:47.110 --> 00:35:48.361
Who are you?

00:35:48.445 --> 00:35:51.239
I'm Greg Heffley, Rowley's best friend.

00:35:51.322 --> 00:35:52.824
I'm the one who broke his arm.

00:35:53.992 --> 00:35:55.035
You jerk!

00:35:55.118 --> 00:35:56.369
- Get out of here.
- Heads up!

00:36:00.415 --> 00:36:02.333
I couldn't have Rowley
hog all the attention,

00:36:02.417 --> 00:36:04.586
so I decided to whip up
an injury of my own.

00:36:15.597 --> 00:36:19.059
It's just an infection caused by
a splinter that was left untreated.

00:36:23.229 --> 00:36:24.439
Hey.

00:36:24.522 --> 00:36:26.775
Can I peek at your infection?

00:36:26.858 --> 00:36:27.984
Ew.

00:36:29.110 --> 00:36:31.863
I realized I couldn't compete
with Rowley's stupid injury.

00:36:34.157 --> 00:36:36.201
So that meant I needed
to find something of my own.

00:36:36.284 --> 00:36:38.328
And just like that, I did.

00:36:51.966 --> 00:36:54.260
Hey, Greg.
I couldn't find you after school.

00:36:54.344 --> 00:36:55.345
Huh?

00:36:55.428 --> 00:36:57.847
Sorry. I wanted to go home
and start working on my comics.

00:36:57.931 --> 00:37:00.141
Your comics? For what?

00:37:00.225 --> 00:37:01.393
The school paper.

00:37:01.476 --> 00:37:04.104
One of the cartoonists quit,
so now there's a spot open.

00:37:07.774 --> 00:37:08.900
Can I help?

00:37:08.983 --> 00:37:11.111
Sorry, Rowley. There's only one spot open.

00:37:16.449 --> 00:37:18.076
Zoo-Wee Mama!

00:37:19.494 --> 00:37:21.079
This is funny!

00:37:22.414 --> 00:37:24.749
"Oops. I've stepped in a puddle!

00:37:25.250 --> 00:37:28.253
Well, at least it's not an acid puddle!

00:37:28.878 --> 00:37:33.091
Ah! It is an acid puddle!

00:37:33.174 --> 00:37:35.010
Zoo-Wee Mama!"

00:37:35.093 --> 00:37:38.722
Zoo-Wee Mama!
Do you have any more like this one?

00:37:38.805 --> 00:37:40.432
I'm working on something better.

00:37:40.515 --> 00:37:43.184
Check this one out.
It's called "Creighton the Cretin."

00:37:43.268 --> 00:37:47.647
"Hiya, doc! Can I get a new butt?
My old one has a crack in it."

00:37:47.731 --> 00:37:50.442
"Everyone's butt has a crack in it,
you idiot!"

00:37:50.525 --> 00:37:51.526
"Oops."

00:37:52.485 --> 00:37:54.404
But when does he say, "Zoo-Wee Mama"?

00:37:54.487 --> 00:37:55.697
He doesn't.

00:37:55.780 --> 00:37:59.743
I think it'd be funnier if he said,
"Zoo-Wee Mama!"

00:38:02.787 --> 00:38:06.041
You know what? If you wanna draw
your own comic, be my guest.

00:38:06.124 --> 00:38:08.376
But we always do everything together.

00:38:09.085 --> 00:38:11.421
Yeah, well, not this time. Sorry.

00:38:12.547 --> 00:38:14.758
But can we be partners?

00:38:14.841 --> 00:38:16.843
You can write the comic,
and I can draw it.

00:38:17.594 --> 00:38:20.180
No offense, Rowley,
but you don't even draw noses on people.

00:38:20.263 --> 00:38:24.309
Sorry. This is kinda my thing,
like the way Joshie's your thing.

00:38:24.392 --> 00:38:28.313
Okay. Well, I guess I'll go work
on my comic at my house.

00:38:29.147 --> 00:38:30.190
Sounds good.

00:38:38.656 --> 00:38:39.741
See ya.

00:38:47.165 --> 00:38:50.502
After I turned in my comic,
all I could do was wait.

00:38:51.294 --> 00:38:53.588
But after a whole week went by,

00:38:54.714 --> 00:38:56.633
Mr. Humphreys made an announcement.

00:38:56.716 --> 00:38:59.427
Attention, students.
After careful consideration,

00:38:59.511 --> 00:39:02.639
we've made a decision
on the cartoonist for the school paper.

00:39:02.722 --> 00:39:04.474
And the new cartoonist is…

00:39:05.183 --> 00:39:08.019
- Greg Heffley.
- Yes! Yes!

00:39:10.730 --> 00:39:13.483
This is possibly the biggest thing
that has ever happened to me.

00:39:14.734 --> 00:39:17.153
- That's the dude?
- He wrote that?

00:39:18.405 --> 00:39:19.823
Is that cartoon kid?

00:39:22.784 --> 00:39:24.953
For the first time since I stepped
through those double doors,

00:39:25.036 --> 00:39:26.705
I wasn't invisible.

00:39:26.788 --> 00:39:28.289
Teacher's pet!

00:39:28.373 --> 00:39:30.291
Aren't comics supposed
to make you laugh?

00:39:30.375 --> 00:39:31.584
"Creighton the Curious Student."

00:39:31.668 --> 00:39:33.253
- Did you think that was funny?
- What the--

00:39:33.336 --> 00:39:38.341
"Teacher, if x plus 43 is 89,
what would x be?"

00:39:38.425 --> 00:39:40.051
"Why, it would be 46!"

00:39:40.135 --> 00:39:43.304
"Thanks! Kids,
if you'd like to learn more about math,

00:39:43.388 --> 00:39:45.682
have Mr. Humphreys show you around

00:39:45.765 --> 00:39:49.144
the newly expanded
math and science section of the library."

00:39:49.227 --> 00:39:53.314
"And thanks to the Parent-Teacher
Organization for funding the new section.

00:39:53.398 --> 00:39:55.734
Our old books were badly outdated."

00:39:55.817 --> 00:39:57.235
They changed it?

00:39:57.318 --> 00:39:59.904
- Teacher's pet!
- Thanks for ruining my day.

00:39:59.988 --> 00:40:01.740
- What a waste of ink.
- Nerd!

00:40:04.909 --> 00:40:06.870
Boo!

00:40:06.953 --> 00:40:07.954
Teacher's pet!

00:40:08.038 --> 00:40:09.414
See? That's what happens

00:40:09.497 --> 00:40:11.958
when the school librarian
is in charge of the newspaper.

00:40:12.042 --> 00:40:14.085
They've always gotta get pushy
with their books.

00:40:16.046 --> 00:40:17.547
One week after I quit,

00:40:17.630 --> 00:40:21.176
Mr. Humphreys chose someone to replace me,
and you'll never believe who he picked.

00:40:21.259 --> 00:40:23.136
Zoo-Wee Mama!

00:40:26.431 --> 00:40:27.891
Zoo-Wee Mama!

00:40:32.395 --> 00:40:35.982
- Zoo-Wee Mama!
- Zoo-Wee Mama!

00:40:37.150 --> 00:40:39.361
Zoo-Wee Mama!

00:40:41.863 --> 00:40:43.573
Zoo-Wee Mama!

00:40:47.160 --> 00:40:50.205
"Hey, pretty lady.
Do you wanna go on a date?"

00:40:50.288 --> 00:40:53.416
"I'm actually not a lady.
I'm one of those dogs with long hair.

00:40:53.500 --> 00:40:55.335
So, no thanks to that date."

00:40:55.418 --> 00:40:57.212
"Zoo-Wee Mama!"

00:40:57.295 --> 00:41:01.883
So a kid who can barely draw
got his comic in the school paper?

00:41:01.966 --> 00:41:05.303
It's totally unfair.
Why didn't they censor Rowley's work?

00:41:13.603 --> 00:41:15.188
You stole my comic.

00:41:15.271 --> 00:41:17.315
You said you didn't wanna do it anymore.

00:41:17.399 --> 00:41:20.151
Well, couldn't you come up
with something original for once, Rowley?

00:41:20.235 --> 00:41:22.737
Well, I can't help it
if I'm just naturally funny.

00:41:22.821 --> 00:41:24.364
Zoo-Wee Mama!

00:41:24.447 --> 00:41:25.782
Zoo-Wee Mama!

00:41:25.865 --> 00:41:29.119
- Zoo-Wee Mama!
- Zoo-Wee Mama!

00:41:31.871 --> 00:41:35.750
You know what? I hope you enjoy all this,
because I'm tired of carrying you.

00:41:35.834 --> 00:41:37.752
Maybe it's the other way around.

00:41:37.836 --> 00:41:40.922
This comic, this lunch table, that cast.

00:41:41.006 --> 00:41:43.383
You wouldn't have any of it
if it wasn't for me!

00:41:43.466 --> 00:41:45.552
Yeah, because you broke my arm.

00:41:45.635 --> 00:41:46.845
Yeah. You're welcome.

00:41:54.185 --> 00:41:57.105
Rowley deserves your respect.

00:41:58.565 --> 00:42:00.900
- Zoo-Wee Mama!
- Oh!

00:42:02.068 --> 00:42:03.820
Okay, I'll admit.

00:42:03.903 --> 00:42:06.614
Maybe I could have handled
the situation at lunch a little better.

00:42:06.698 --> 00:42:08.033
But I figured, after a while,

00:42:08.116 --> 00:42:10.452
me and Rowley would cool down,
things would go back to normal.

00:42:10.535 --> 00:42:12.579
So do you like DinoBlasters?

00:42:12.662 --> 00:42:13.663
No.

00:42:14.205 --> 00:42:15.623
I love it.

00:42:20.128 --> 00:42:22.172
Thing is, that hasn't happened yet.

00:42:28.887 --> 00:42:31.973
Rowley's been hanging out
with this kid Chirag every day.

00:42:32.057 --> 00:42:34.726
You know the only reason he's doing it
is to make me jealous.

00:42:36.644 --> 00:42:38.938
But two can play at that game.

00:42:43.193 --> 00:42:45.195
- You wanna see my room?
- Yeah.

00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:07.801
Yes! Come on!

00:43:24.192 --> 00:43:28.822
The one and only Greg Heffley
is on my front step.

00:43:30.865 --> 00:43:32.992
Yeah, I guess I am.

00:43:33.952 --> 00:43:36.830
So I was thinking,
me and you are neighbors.

00:43:36.913 --> 00:43:37.914
Yeah. Uh-huh.

00:43:37.997 --> 00:43:40.750
But we barely even know each other.

00:43:40.834 --> 00:43:42.335
How'd you feel about a sleepover?

00:43:42.419 --> 00:43:43.420
Tonight?

00:43:44.003 --> 00:43:46.840
Yeah. Right now.
You and me. Just a couple of pals.

00:43:46.923 --> 00:43:48.758
Woo-hoo! Come on in.

00:44:09.446 --> 00:44:12.157
You know, maybe we should take this
one step at a time.

00:44:12.240 --> 00:44:15.952
How about if we just play
a quick game of cards and call it a night?

00:44:20.665 --> 00:44:23.168
Hey, Greg.

00:44:29.883 --> 00:44:32.886
Oh, Fregley.
Do you have a playmate over?

00:44:32.969 --> 00:44:35.680
Would you like for me
to knit him some socks?

00:44:35.764 --> 00:44:38.308
Yep. I'm pretty sure
I'm gonna be in therapy over this.

00:44:40.226 --> 00:44:41.603
Whoo!

00:44:41.686 --> 00:44:43.730
Greg Heffley's in my room.

00:44:44.647 --> 00:44:45.690
Woo-hoo!

00:44:46.316 --> 00:44:48.401
Yeah, but just for a short visit.

00:44:48.485 --> 00:44:50.028
In fact, I really need to be--

00:44:50.111 --> 00:44:51.613
You wanna play make-believe?

00:44:52.155 --> 00:44:55.867
You can be the church organist,
and I'll be the school hygienist.

00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:00.955
You know, that's tempting.
But I'm not really into--

00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:03.416
How about a tickle fight?

00:45:03.917 --> 00:45:06.086
Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.

00:45:06.169 --> 00:45:08.213
I'm gonna tickle, tickle.

00:45:08.296 --> 00:45:10.298
I got you. I'm tickling you. Ha ha!

00:45:12.092 --> 00:45:14.052
Hey! What are you doing?

00:45:14.135 --> 00:45:15.470
Give me some space here.

00:45:15.553 --> 00:45:17.097
Can't you just stay over there?

00:45:17.180 --> 00:45:20.183
Well, what do you wanna do then?

00:45:22.727 --> 00:45:24.437
I don't know. I thought if we…

00:45:26.564 --> 00:45:29.025
Mmm.

00:45:29.109 --> 00:45:32.570
Fregley! That's the only candy bar
I had that wasn't wet.

00:45:32.654 --> 00:45:34.864
Mom never lets me have chocolate.

00:45:34.948 --> 00:45:39.452
Says it makes me hyperactive and unstable.

00:45:42.664 --> 00:45:46.209
Fregley, are you okay? Fregley!

00:45:46.292 --> 00:45:48.336
I've blocked out big parts
of that night.

00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:51.381
Hey, Greg.

00:45:51.965 --> 00:45:54.801
I'm so glad I can't remember
every little thing that happened.

00:45:58.888 --> 00:45:59.931
Hey!

00:46:00.515 --> 00:46:02.600
But what I do remember

00:46:03.101 --> 00:46:05.311
is that I ended up
locked up in Fregley's bathroom

00:46:05.395 --> 00:46:07.689
while I waited
for his sugar high to wear off.

00:46:16.823 --> 00:46:18.366
Dear Gregory,

00:46:18.450 --> 00:46:21.911
I'm sorry I ate your candy
and chased you with a booger.

00:46:21.995 --> 00:46:25.540
Here, I put it on this piece of paper
so you can get me back.

00:46:25.623 --> 00:46:27.584
Signed, Fregley.

00:46:28.835 --> 00:46:30.170
What the--

00:46:31.838 --> 00:46:34.215
But if I could, I would forget everything.

00:47:16.466 --> 00:47:18.510
Hey, Greg. Hey!

00:47:18.593 --> 00:47:20.220
Oh, hey. Hey, Rowley. What's up?

00:47:20.303 --> 00:47:22.222
I was wondering
if I could stop by your house today

00:47:22.305 --> 00:47:24.099
and pick up my copy of Twisted Wizard.

00:47:24.182 --> 00:47:25.767
Me and Chirag want to play it.

00:47:27.060 --> 00:47:30.271
Yeah, well, I've had it for a while,
so it's kind of mine now.

00:47:30.355 --> 00:47:32.899
I guess you and your new friend
will have to find something else to do.

00:47:32.982 --> 00:47:36.194
Oh, yeah? Well, I'm not the only one
with a new friend.

00:47:36.277 --> 00:47:37.404
You mean Fregley?

00:47:37.487 --> 00:47:39.489
I'm permanently scarred from that night.

00:47:39.572 --> 00:47:41.616
And it's all your fault for ditching me.

00:47:41.700 --> 00:47:44.160
I ditched you?
More like the other way around.

00:47:44.244 --> 00:47:47.455
You haven't been the same ever since
you got that stupid cast.

00:47:47.539 --> 00:47:48.707
- You've changed.
- Fight!

00:47:48.790 --> 00:47:50.500
- Oh, yeah?
- They're gonna fight.

00:47:50.583 --> 00:47:52.711
Well, you're the one who broke my arm.

00:47:52.794 --> 00:47:54.629
You can take him. Knock him down!

00:47:55.380 --> 00:47:57.632
Guys, come over. Come check out the fight.

00:47:58.967 --> 00:48:01.886
- Why don't you make a move?
- Unless you're chicken.

00:48:01.970 --> 00:48:04.514
Fight, fight, fight!

00:48:04.597 --> 00:48:08.059
Fight, fight, fight, fight!

00:48:08.643 --> 00:48:10.812
Where'd you learn to fight?
Ballerina school?

00:48:10.895 --> 00:48:13.356
If you don't do something,
I'm gonna fall asleep.

00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:15.942
Who taught you how to fight? Your granny?

00:48:16.026 --> 00:48:18.862
Are you two gonna fight
or keep dancing with each other?

00:48:19.654 --> 00:48:21.573
Do they even know how to do this?

00:48:25.035 --> 00:48:27.370
- Let's get out of here!
- Come on. Let's go!

00:48:31.750 --> 00:48:34.586
Well, look who it is.

00:48:34.669 --> 00:48:36.963
Our little friends from Halloween.

00:48:38.089 --> 00:48:39.883
We told you we'd find you.

00:48:39.966 --> 00:48:42.927
And now you're gonna pay
for busting my tire.

00:48:44.596 --> 00:48:47.932
But, like, how are they gonna pay?

00:48:48.016 --> 00:48:50.352
Yeah. Do you mean, like, with money?

00:48:50.435 --> 00:48:52.395
'Cause not everybody
carries cash these days.

00:48:52.479 --> 00:48:53.897
No, you morons.

00:48:53.980 --> 00:48:57.233
Pay, as in, like, revenge.

00:48:58.568 --> 00:49:02.364
Okay. Now we're all on the same page.

00:49:04.824 --> 00:49:08.036
Okay. Now what?

00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:09.996
I am thinking.

00:49:10.080 --> 00:49:11.081
Ooh! Ooh!

00:49:11.164 --> 00:49:13.375
You still got that fire extinguisher?

00:49:13.458 --> 00:49:20.006
Nah. My mom made me
put it back in the house for "fires."

00:49:24.969 --> 00:49:26.846
What's this one looking at?

00:49:26.930 --> 00:49:29.182
Uh, it looks like…

00:49:30.350 --> 00:49:31.643
Cheese!

00:49:35.563 --> 00:49:37.524
Now, I really can't say
what happened next.

00:49:37.607 --> 00:49:40.318
Because if Rowley ever tries to run
for president when he grows up

00:49:40.402 --> 00:49:42.612
and people find out
what those teenagers made him do,

00:49:42.696 --> 00:49:44.239
he won't have a chance.

00:49:46.491 --> 00:49:47.826
So all I'm gonna say

00:49:47.909 --> 00:49:50.036
is that the teenagers made Rowley

00:49:50.120 --> 00:49:53.665
blank, blank, blank the cheese.

00:49:58.336 --> 00:50:00.630
Okay. You're next.

00:50:00.714 --> 00:50:04.759
No. But I just had lunch.
I'm not even really that hungry.

00:50:04.843 --> 00:50:06.428
You're not getting out of this.

00:50:06.511 --> 00:50:09.055
But, um, I'm lactose intolerant.

00:50:10.306 --> 00:50:12.142
It'll make me gassy.

00:50:29.993 --> 00:50:33.038
Huh?

00:50:33.121 --> 00:50:34.664
Get out of here, you punks!

00:50:41.755 --> 00:50:42.756
You boys okay?

00:50:46.926 --> 00:50:48.887
- What happened?
- They're gone.

00:50:48.970 --> 00:50:51.264
- What's going on?
- What's going on over here?

00:50:51.348 --> 00:50:52.849
The cheese!

00:50:52.932 --> 00:50:54.809
Look! There's--

00:50:54.893 --> 00:50:56.728
There's a piece missing!

00:50:56.811 --> 00:50:58.480
- What?
- What?

00:51:01.816 --> 00:51:03.526
- Disgusting!
- Ew!

00:51:04.235 --> 00:51:07.489
Trust me, I was tempted to tell
everyone the truth about what happened,

00:51:07.572 --> 00:51:10.033
but then
I heard that annoying inner voice.

00:51:10.617 --> 00:51:12.702
Do the right thing, Greg.

00:51:12.786 --> 00:51:15.497
That's all you need to get by
in this world, you know?

00:51:15.580 --> 00:51:17.040
One good friend.

00:51:17.123 --> 00:51:18.666
Somebody has the Cheese Touch.

00:51:18.750 --> 00:51:21.002
Rowley Jefferson ate the--

00:51:21.086 --> 00:51:22.212
No!

00:51:22.295 --> 00:51:26.216
It was me! Those teenagers
dared me to do it, and I did it!

00:51:26.299 --> 00:51:28.051
So what? No big deal.

00:51:28.134 --> 00:51:32.889
Greg Heffley has the Cheese Touch!

00:51:32.972 --> 00:51:35.809
- He has the Cheese Touch.
- Oh, ew!

00:51:37.394 --> 00:51:38.728
The Cheese Touch!

00:51:41.439 --> 00:51:44.359
Okay, so I might have
bent the truth a little,

00:51:44.442 --> 00:51:47.987
but sometimes you have to do
that sort of thing to help a friend.

00:51:48.738 --> 00:51:49.739
So, uh…

00:51:50.281 --> 00:51:52.534
you, uh, wanna go to my place

00:51:52.617 --> 00:51:55.912
and, I don't know,
play some Twisted Wizard?

00:51:55.995 --> 00:51:58.248
Yeah. That'd be good.

00:52:05.088 --> 00:52:07.966
Oh, man. I totally would've had you.

00:52:08.049 --> 00:52:11.302
Are you kidding?
You were totally about to start crying.

00:52:11.386 --> 00:52:13.304
I had something in my eye.

00:52:13.972 --> 00:52:16.099
I could've taken you
with my eyes closed.

00:52:16.182 --> 00:52:18.476
I could've beaten you
with my little pinkie.

00:52:20.270 --> 00:52:22.981
Having the Cheese Touch
hasn't been as bad as I thought.

00:52:23.064 --> 00:52:24.065
Cheese Touch!

00:52:26.776 --> 00:52:29.070
The kids at school
give me plenty of space.

00:52:30.155 --> 00:52:31.906
And it's not just in the hallways.

00:52:32.907 --> 00:52:35.160
I've pretty much got the run of the place.

00:52:38.246 --> 00:52:39.539
And the best part is,

00:52:39.622 --> 00:52:42.876
getting a seat at lunch
is not a problem anymore.

00:52:44.627 --> 00:52:45.628
Run!

00:52:45.712 --> 00:52:48.715
In fact,
I've got a whole table to myself.

00:52:55.263 --> 00:52:58.391
Well, maybe not entirely to myself,
but I'm fine with it.

00:53:00.226 --> 00:53:02.354
And things are good with me and Rowley.

00:53:02.437 --> 00:53:04.189
In fact, they're better than good.

00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:10.362
But if Rowley ever steps out of line,

00:53:10.445 --> 00:53:13.406
I'll let everyone know
who really ate the you-know-what.

00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:18.244
Come on. Almost there.

00:53:19.829 --> 00:53:21.331
I got you.

00:53:21.414 --> 00:53:25.085
- Eat my dust! Get out of my way!
- Oh, you got lucky that time.

00:53:25.168 --> 00:53:26.544
How are you this bad?

00:53:26.628 --> 00:53:28.338
- Oh!
- Best of three!

00:53:28.362 --> 00:53:39.362
