Max Keeble's Big Move Page #3

Synopsis: Max Keeble is a nice, quiet teenager, whose idea of 'superhero-requiring' danger is braving Evil Ice Cream Man who blames him for a health complaint from ma Lily. She spent six years on just the right interior and now hears from dad Don Keeble, a wimp whose 'career' in commercial publicity still only got him wearing sly costumes, a promotion requires the family to move to Chicago. Initially Max just hates giving up his high-school friends, a fatso and a music-maniac, but when their former friend Troy McGinty picks on them with his new image as bully realizes leaving means he can't be punished after Friday, and plans an orgy of revenge. Max's targets include the arrogant new principal, Elliot T. Jindraike, who spends the school budget on a new sports stadium to flatter the inspector, Superintendant Bobby 'Crazy Legs' Knebworth, and even plants to tear down the animal shelter. When it's all in motion, dad suddenly announces he has taken Max's first advice and turned down the promotion!

Why, all they need

is a place to play.

Students, I give you

your new football stadium.

Eww!

You, there! Little boy!

Prankster!

What is your name?

Uh, Max Keeble.

I've got my eye on you,

Max Keeble.

You're on my list.

-It wasn't my...

-Sit!

Heh heh heh.

MEGAN:

This is a bad junior high.

I can't believe

what McGinty did to you.

Mr. Jindraike

says if someone tries...

to start a fight with you,

just ignore them.

Ew! Robe! Ew!

Max, you can't go through

the rest of the day like that.

I don't plan on it.

Where's he going?

How great.

# Hey baby, hey baby #

# Yeah baby, yeah baby #

# Hey baby #

Cool.

Hey, man,

you got any spare air?

# Yeah, baby #

# Yeah baby #

Whoo!

He calls his victims

"Investors"?

He's got

all the latest technology...

and he's looking

to make a killing...

in the stock market.

M-m-m-marching call!

# You know the fella's

good for the moola #

This guy, Dobbs, was

once a stock-market whiz kid.

By age 10,

he was a millionaire.

12:
15. Meeting with Keeble.

Keeble.

By age 12,

he'd lost it all.

Now he's obsessed

with getting it back...

one kid at a time.

Keeble!

Caught your act in the assembly.

Looks like you can

use some help...

with managing your portfolio.

That's my lunch money!

And you have it all in cash.

Kid, let me hold this

for a while...

and I'll set you up

with a nice mutual fund.

What's going on here?

He's taking Max's

lu... lunch money.

Is this true, Mr. Dobbs?

No. I'm just spreading

some investment wisdom.

Speaking of which...

how did Biomorph Systems

work out for you?

Heh heh.

Best money I ever spent.

By the way, what

do you think of Handspring?

Handspring?

It's moving today. I'd say buy.

-Thanks.

-No prob.

Uh...

Don't miss me. Ha!

Excuse me!

Anybody want my carrots?

What?

Keeble!

You may be

under the impression...

that I encourage

horseplay and malarkey.

I don't encourage it.

I excourage it.

Excourage?

It means

the opposite of encourage.

Look it up.

Elliot!

And so, young man, remember...

"Study" rhymes with "Buddy."

Scram.

-Hey.

-What are you doing here?

I thought you said band

wasn't cool enough for you.

Yeah, but I thought it over...

and I've decided

that band is pretty...

["Baby, One More Time" playing]

Hot.

Excuse me.

What?

What are you doing

sitting in my seat?

Does it say your name on it

or something?

Yes.

So, if you don't mind,

shoo-shoo. Let's go.

Can you believe her?

-Hi, Jenna.

-Hey.

Welcome, everyone.

Settle, please.

I should tell you right away...

you'll notice that

we are a bit cramped in here...

thanks to some temporary

storage foisted on us...

by someone who has

absolutely no appreciation...
