Yeah!

[Indistinct conversations]

Duncan:
Hey, Jenna.

Uh, so, about my little dork show

in biology... Jenna: What?

Duncan:
Y-you see, there was this

thing, and I had to catch it.

Jenna:
What are you

talking about?

Duncan, right?

As humiliating as I'm sure that was, I

would trade places with you in a heartbeat.

Duncan:
What's up?

I saw everyone acting

weird around you.

Jenna:
You haven't heard?

I lost all the money we'd

raised for homecoming.

Duncan:
No way.

Jenna:
I thought it was in my

locker, but it's just gone.

I've looked everywhere.

I think I'm losing my mind.

I'm sure people think

I just pocketed it.

Duncan:
Then people have

their heads up their butts.

You'd never do that.

Jenna:
Thanks.

Anyway, it doesn't matter

what anybody thinks.

The fact is, there's no

dance without that money.

[Sighs]

I'd do whatever job to pay it back,

but there's only two weeks left.

Troy:
Look, Jenna... I know you don't want

to talk to me, but this guy is bad news.

Stay away from him.

Jenna:
What is up with you?

You want to know the punishment for

being stupid enough to date you?

Dating you!

Troy:
I'm telling you...

he can do freaky stuff!

[Door slams]

Troy!

[Music stops]

What part of "grounded"

didn't you understand?

He is so busted.

Troy:
[Whimpers]

You must be a glutton

for punishment, boy.

[Partygoers murmuring]

[Engine turns over]

[Tires screech]

Duncan:
Wow. Is that his dad?

I guess the rage issue doesn't

fall very far from the tree.

I bet he wishes his dad

would just disappear.

Jenna:
[Scoffs]

It's getting late. Excuse me.

Duncan:
What?

Oh.

[Chuckles]

I... okay.

Unh! Idiot!

Isabel:
Struck out

with Jenna, huh?

You're not the first.

Duncan:
I wish I knew what

I said to set her off.

Isabel:
Jenna's dad is dead.

Duncan:
Oh, man.

How stupid am I?

I mean, I totally know how bad it

bites to grow up without a dad.

There's a rat in here!

[Snarls]

Isabel:
[Gasps]

Whoa.

Something just

crawled on my leg.

My purse... it's in my purse!

There's one right there!

[Partygoers murmuring]

Duncan:
It's those things again.

Isabel:
Gomorradons.

[Rumbling]

Duncan:
Whoa! Whoa!

[Partygoers screaming]

Whoa. Aah.

Belloc:
[Snarling]

Isabel:
They didn't come alone.

That's their master.

Kaiju! Look out!

Isabel:
It's Belloc!

Seriously... Belloc!

Run!

Belloc:
[Growling]

Isabel:
It doesn't make sense!

Why now? Why here?

Duncan:
Because I'm here.

He's looking for me.

Isabel:
Why?

Duncan:
Because he's not only

Belloc, king of the Kaiju.

He's also.... My dad.

Belloc:
[Roars]

[Partygoers screaming]

Belloc:
[Roars]

[Sniffing]

Isabel:
Is it smelling for you?

Duncan:
He must know my scent.
