Max Keeble's Big Move Page #4

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!

of what we do in here.

Now, if you'll go to

the beginning of the piece...

Can I help you football guys?

Yes, please.

Careful!

Jindraike. I'd like to...

# Standin' here lookin'

out on the world #

# For a second nobody's

lookin'back at me #

# I never even notice

where they go #

# The sun is shining

down and #

# There's no one else

around now #

# Wish you were here

to hear me say #

# This is gonna be #

# My greatest day #

# How far would I go #

# Just to hear

everybody say #

# This is gonna be #

# My greatest day #

# My greatest day #

# My greatest day #

Hey, Tad. Did you miss me?

This is Tad.

He totally rules

the animal shelter.

I helped nurse him when

he was a baby chimp...

and we've been buds

ever since.

Hey, Max!

Hi, Marley. What's up?

Could you do me a favor

and feed the goat?

Sure. What's going on?

Didn't you hear?

We're closing down.

Some creep bought up

the property...

and canceled our lease.

What's gonna happen

to the animals?

We're doing the best we can

to find homes for them...

but we only got

until the end of the week.

It's messed up, I know.

It's real messed up.

I couldn't believe it.

Something had to be done,

but what?

I thought maybe my parents

might have an idea.

They did.

We're moving?!

Yeah.

Foge wants me to head up

the new division.

I can't believe this. When?

-Friday.

-This Friday?

Man, this is totally unfair!

I mean, my life is here,

my friends are here.

We know that, Max.

But you'll make plenty of

new friends in Chicago.

Chicago?!

This was gonna be my year.

Here.

Sweetie,

we know this is hard on you.

It's hard on all of us.

Well, then I have

a great, great idea.

Let's not go.

Foge is my boss.

He's counting on me.

Can't you just say no?

No. It's not that simple.

This bites.

He'll be fine.

But, Max,

Chicago's 1,000 miles away.

Better tell your parents

to watch out for carjackers.

These guys'll just

come up to you...

at stoplights

and take your car away.

I saw it on "20/20."

That's why they call it

the Motor City.

Maybe you could hire a lawyer

and legally emancipate yourself.

You can stay with me.

I'll ask my mom.

My dad'll give you

a job here at the junkyard.

You know what?

Nice try, guys.

You know what?

Face it, I've been foged.

We meet again, paperboy.

OK.

Evil Ice Cream Man, me.

You're wondering why, right?

Ohh!

I once found a cockroach

in my snow cone.

My mom called

the health department...

and he got nailed.

He's been trying

to nail me ever since.

Drat! The fuzz!

This isn't over, paperboy!

Hello, officer.

Snow doodle?

Hey, look,

it's dumpster boy.

It's Rinky Stinko,

the garbage kid.

Ha, Rinky Stinko.
