Max Keeble's Big Move Page #2

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!

The red light's still on.

I'm well aware of that.

Didn't even notice!

Good morning.

I'm Ms. Dingman,

and welcome to Life Science.

You OK?

I can't feel my fingers.

...like this.

Pheromones.

Nature's dating service.

Odorless, colorless.

It's how many species

attract mates.

A chemical process

which causes...

an irresistible

attraction...

in the opposite sex.

Allow me to demonstrate.

Would someone like to open

the window for me, please?

You in the robe.

Aww.

Wow, that's cool!

You see? Irresistible.

["Baby, One More Time" playing]

# Oh, baby, baby #

# Eh, eh #

Are you OK?

Yeah! Yeah.

I'm fine.

You look kind of familiar.

I deliver your paper.

I'm Max, Jenna.

Oh, yeah.

You go to school here now?

You play the clarinet.

First chair.

I'm in band, too.

I play the bassoon.

Hmm. Well, I'll see you later.

I'll see you bassoon.

See you bassoon?

Ecch! Stupid!

Max Keeble.

Troy!

Troy McGinty, how are you?

First victim

of the year there, buddy.

It's a big honor.

Know the guy you hung out with

when you were little...

but as you got older you went

in opposite directions?

Troy McGinty

wasn't always a bully.

I remember when he came

to my fourth birthday.

The theme was

MacGoogles the Frog.

# MacGoogles is me name #

# I like a swampy bog #

# It's time to play a game #

# With your favorite

Highland frog #

I don't like MacGoogles!

He's not real, Troy.

He's just a TVcharacter.

Is there a wee laddie

having his birthday today?

MacGoogles!

He's trying to eat me!

Scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat.

Troy, it's me, Mr. Keeble.

MacGoogles ate Max's daddy!

Troy had grown a lot since then.

Whoa! What are you doing?

Where's Max?

I don't know.

Wasn't it

your turn to watch him?

McGINTY:

Welcome to cooking with Troy.

First, you want to dip

your little piece of chicken...

in a nice, thick batter.

No. Troy, no!

-Hold it! Stop!

-OK, we're set.

Yaah!

No! Troy!

Now you want to roll

your piece of dead meat...

in some bread crumbs.

Perfect.

And now that that's done...

our bird should be

ready to go in.

Oh, gross! Ecch!

Hope you like lasagna.

Settle down.

Cease!

This Thursday,

Superintendent Knebworth...

will be here

to inspect the school.

And so I am upgrading

my policy of zero tolerance...

to one of sub-zero tolerance.

Which is more than zero.

Cease!

And now,

without any further ado...

what's that I hear?

The pitter-patter

of little feet?

Allow me to introduce to you

the newest addition...

to the Curtis Junior

High School Cottontails...

three foreign exchange students

from eastern Europe...

and their names are...

unimportant,

because they're here...

to lead us to gridiron glory.
