---

(ORCHESTRA TUNING)

- (TAPPING)

- GIRL:
OK, enough tuning already.

- Settle, people! Quiet, please!

- (TAPPING)

- Strings.

- (TUNING STOPS)

One and one, main title.

And a one, two, three, four!

(UP-TEMPO ORCHESTRA MUSIC

PLAYING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Come on.

Come on-a-rama. Come on.

"Outlook not so good"?

What? No way!

You try, Mouse.

(MEOWS)

OK, Magic 8 Ball, last chance.

This is gonna be the best,

most way not boring summer ever, right?

Signs point to...

..."Yes"! Yay! You rock, Mouse.

Don't leave me hanging.

WOMAN:
Judy?

You almost ready?

The bus will be here in five minutes.

Uh-huh! I'm totally (QUIETLY) almost

(NORMAL VOICE) ready!

WOMAN:
Good. You don't want to be late

for the last day of school.

Let me see.

Shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes.

- Help me, Mouse! Where are my? Ah!

- (MEOWS)

Hairbrush, hairbrush, hairbrush.

Oh, hairbrush!

See, here's the thing, Mouse.

You know how every summer

is "S" for Snoresville

because all I ever do is

visit Grandma Lou and get a sunburn

and pick my scabs and watch TV.

And it's not even cable.

But this summer is going to be different

because I have a plan.

A P-L-A-N for the most super duper,

double-rare, not bummer summer ev...

- WOMAN:
Judy?

- Coming!

- (MEOWS)

- Mouse. (SMACKS LIPS)

- Look, Mom!

- Hey.

- BOY:
Look, Dad.

- Nice.

Hi!

Beat you to the bus, Stink. Bye!

Is that a new trend?

Wearing pajamas to school?

Let's just be happy

she remembered her shoes.

(HORN HONKING)

Rocky!

Judy!

Last day! No more homework,

no more tests.

No more fink-face Finch, the pest!

Yeah!

(COMMOTION)

What's with the Mr. Potato Head hair?

I wouldn't talk,

Mr. "Frank Eats Paste" Pearl.

- For me?

- FYEO. "For Your Eyes Only."

And Amy and Rocky.

"TP Meeting...

Shhh!

Shhh.

(WHISPERING)... after school

for way important summer plan."

What's going on?

Is it the last day of school

or something?

ALL:
Yay!

Frank.

Don't get too excited. There's still...

...three hours and 27 minutes

until summer officially begins.

(ALL GROANING)

In fact, guess what I have here?

Hot off the press.

A pop quiz.

What? No way!

JUDY:
On the last day of school?!

Just a few questions to make sure

that you were paying attention.

All right.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Question number one.

How many times did I wear

a purple tie to school?

- Twenty-seven! Twenty-seven!

- A hundred! A hundred!

- Never.

- (BELL DINGS)

"Never" is correct.

Excellent, Jessica.

- Ha-ha.

- Fink-face Finch strikes again.

- MR. TODD:
Question number two.

- Aww.

- How long did it take our class

- For me?

- To go around the world?

- ALL:
Eight and a half days!

- (BELL DINGS)

- You guys are breezing through these.

These are too easy for you.

I gotta go deeper.

Let's see, let's see, let's see here.

Ooh, oh, this is a good one.

This is a big one.

Mucho grande.

- Come on! Tell us!

- OK, OK, OK.

Can anyone guess,

and this means you, class 3T,

what I, Mr. Todd,

will be doing this summer?

(CLOCK TICKING)

We need a clue!

Give us a clue!

ALL:
Clue! Clue! Clue! Clue!

Clue! Clue! Clue!

Clue! Clue! Clue!

- OK, OK. Hold it to a dull roar, dull roar.

- (SHOUTING STOPS)

- Let's see.

- (BELL DINGS)

Ooh! I have the perfect clue.

The clue is...

- (WIND HOWLING)

- Brrr!

...cold.

- Oh, refrigerator salesman!

- That's not bad.

- Snow remover guy.

- That's clever.

- Polar bear trainer!

- That's dangerous.

ROCKY:
Snowball fight. Snowball fighter.

Antarctica is cold.

(DOGS BARKING)

- JUDY:
Mr. Todd?

- Judy!

Ooh! I know! You're going to Antarctica!

The real one!

That's a great guess, but sadly, no.
