Hot Rod Page #2

Sh*t!

Oh, my God!

And that is how it's done.

Wow.

It's amazing.

That really hurt.

Okay, you guys. Thanks for meeting me.

As you all know, I recently found out

that my stepfather, Frank,

is on his deathbed.

I needed to think last night,

so I galloped into a wooded glen.

And after punch-dancing out my rage

and suffering an extremely long

and very painful fall,

I realized what has to be done.

We're gonna raise the money

to save Frank's life.

Well, that's awesome, Rod,

but how exactly

do you plan on doing that?

One big jump, gentlemen.

The biggest jump this town's ever seen.

We're gonna jump 15 buses.

Whoa. Come on, Rod.

That's nearly as many

as Evel Knievel jumped.

It's actually one more

than Evel Knievel jumped, Rico. I know.

I checked. Online.

Now, I've gotta be in top physical form

if we're gonna do this jump.

- I'm sorry, Dave.

- What's that?

Where are you going?

I'm sorry, man. I just realized,

I'm late for work at the ice rink.

- So, is that a problem?

- Yes.

Now, this jump demands

that I be in top physical condition.

I've already drafted

a rough schedule of exercises

that will help us take things

to the next level.

Once training is complete, we'll turn

our attention to funding the jump.

By my estimations,

we'll need to raise around $5,000.

That includes bus rentals,

ramp construction,

team hats and wrist bands,

and a $9 per diem

for each crew member.

Now you're talking.

We're gonna have to raise money fast.

I'll drum up small-scale stunt work

at birthday parties.

We're talking escape tricks,

fire breathing.

Anything to please the rug rats.

Also, we're gonna have to organize a

lot of shopping carts.

And we're gonna go through some trash

for cans and newspaper to sleep on.

Hey! What are you guys doing?

Rod.

Once we've raised the money,

we'll use it to put on the bus jump,

make $50,000, and save Frank's life.

Now, who's with me?

Let's celebrate.

Buddy. Come on.

Hey, Rod.

Oh.

Denise, what's up?

Not much.

Funky fresh.

I heard about your plan to save Frank.

I think that's great.

Oh, yeah. I'm mainly just doing that

so I can kick his ass.

Right.

So, Denise, I think I know

why you came over here.

- You do?

- Yeah.

You wanna join my crew.

I can't lie. I think it's a great idea.

We could use someone

with your college experience.

- Cool. I'd love to join.

- Whoa, whoa, Denise. Slow down.

You can't just waltz in off the street

and demand to be in my crew.

- But I thought you...

- Yeah, I know what you thought.

But the fact is you can't join

until you go through initiation.

All right. What's the initiation?

It's crazy.

It's like the craziest thing
