Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Page #5

Synopsis: To Greg Heffley, middle school is the dumbest idea ever invented. It's a place rigged with hundreds of social landmines, not the least of which are morons, wedgies, swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment to the cafeteria floor - and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties. To survive the never-ending ordeal and attain the recognition and status he feels he so richly deserves, Greg devises an endless series of can't-miss schemes, all of which, of course, go awry. And he's getting it all down on paper, via a diary - "it's NOT a diary, it's a journal!" Greg insists, preferring the less-sissyfied designation - filled with his opinions, thoughts, tales of family trials and tribulations, and (would-be) schoolyard triumphs. "One day when I'm famous," writes Greg, "I'll have better things to do than answer people's stupid questions all day." So was born the Wimpy Kid's diary.

Don't you have to be funny for that?

Hey! We could try for cutest friends!

What did I tell you would happen

if you ever went in my room again?

But your band is still playing.

It's the bass solo, Turd Burglar!

Don't you know anything about music?

Now, I came up here

to get a new drumstick,

and now, Greg,

since Mom and Dad are gone,

I'm going to kill you. Literally, kill you!

I told you.

Beat it.

Okay, but I just want to say one thing!

- Run, Greg, run!

- What?

Let go, Baby Hippo!

(LAUGHING)

You're gonna have to come out

sometime, loser!

I'll wait here as long as it takes.

And then, you're dead.

Time out, Rodrick. I have to pee.

(CHUCKLES) No time outs. Only death!

- But I really have to go.

- Don't care.

(WATER GURGLING)

(GURGLING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(SIGHS)

(HUMMING)

Move over! I'm dying!

(SIGHING DEEPLY)

Got you!

(SCREAMING)

Greg, did you throw Manny off his...

What is going on?

Greg started it!

I just came in here to take a shower!

He's lying! He was gonna kill me

'cause I was in his room!

And so you peed on him?

Yes. I mean, no. I mean...

Yes.

(WHISTLING)

(ALL CHATTERING)

(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)

Wow, there's a lot to sign up for.

You could be class favorite

in a bunch of things.

Jazz dancing!

We could do that one together!

I can't believe all these activities.

They're all so much work.

Staying after school,

meeting before school, on weekends.

What kind of extracurricular activities

are these?

Out of my way.

Who let you into this school, Greg Heffley?

I was thinking the same thing about you,

Patty Farrell.

You listen to me, Greg Heffley.

I'm running for student council president

and I'm warning you,

if you get in my way, I will beat you up,

just like I did in kindergarten

and fourth grade.

Fourth grade? That one was ugly.

What's her problem?

What did I ever do to her?

Patty, Patty is a fatty,

has a face just like a ratty!

(CRYING)

(ALL LAUGHING)

Come on, that was pretty funny.

She needs to get a sense of humor.

And I need something to make me

a class favorite.

ANGIE:
What about class favorites?

Don't you ever say hi or hello

before you start talking?

- Hi.

- Hello.

Oh, Greg's only here because

he really wants to be something...

Rowley!

I was just saying that

I would really like to nail these people

because it's so obvious that

they're only doing these activities

to get in the yearbook.

You know, I like your point of view.

You should sign up for the school paper.

We're the voice of the people.

Well, the people are mostly idiots,

so I guess, technically speaking,
