Max Keeble's Big Move Page #5

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!

He just made that up.

Now, that's good.

MEGAN:

Hey, Max, check it out.

I made some flyers to help

save the animal shelter.

I thought you and I could

put them up around school.

Why bother?

A flyer's not gonna

make any difference.

He didn't mean that.

Cover me. I'm going in.

He moves, he fakes.

Rangoon, think fast.

Nice hands.

Now, pick up the ball...

and put it in the case.

It's from Knebworth's

City Championship game.

I'm going on my walkabout.

Mrs. Rangoon, what's this?

Some of the kids

are trying to save...

the animal shelter

down the street.

Kids? What kids?

The ones with the sense

of caring and civic duty.

You there. Cease!

What is the meaning of this?

Hey, I didn't do that.

So you want to save

the filthy little beasts, eh?

Perhaps you want me

to give the animals my car?

Do you want me to give my car

to the smelly goat?

Goats don't drive, sir.

I don't care

what you want me to do.

The smelly goat

will never get my car.

Ever.

The animals have nowhere to go.

Some creep's

closing down the shelter.

I'm closing down

the shelter, silly boy.

What?

All I need now is

the right bulldozer.

I'm thinking big and yellow.

Where did you think

I was going to build...

Knebworth stadium,

in your house? Ha ha.

Your house. That's rich.

There wouldn't be room.

Whoa.

# Better watch out

for the king of the hill #

# He's really bad

and totally chill #

# Better watch out

for the king of the hill #

Freak with robe?

All right, guys.

Hit the showers.

Come on, ladies.

Hello, freak.

Let me out!

Come on, let me out!

What's going on, huh?

McGinty's latest victim.

You gotta check this out.

Ha ha ha.

ROBE:

Let me out! Come on!

Let me out!

Come on, let me out.

-All right, OK.

-Come on, Max.

OK. It's OK.

He's a little claustrophobic,

so he might...

Hurl.

What a waste of a perfectly

good chili omelet.

Let me check the latest rates.

That's $3.00

for number one...

and $5.00 for number two.

I have a bladder problem.

Sorry to hear it.

-Keeble.

-Get off me!

I worked really hard

on that display.

Excuse me. New customers.

DOBBS:

Can I help you, gentlemen?

-No, thanks.

-Keeble, shut up.

How much for a swirlie?

Take stall number 4.

No, no. Come on, Troy.

-No charge.

-Thanks, man.

Can we talk about this?

I'm gonna get my hair wet.

Come on, Troy!

Ow! Come on!

Water.

A recurring geographical

feature which allows...

a civilized society

to develop.

For example,

rivers, springs...

Mr. Keeble?

You're tardy,

and you're dripping.

I have rules against both.

Now, class, another

feature which allows...

a civilized society

to develop is a code of rules.

Without rules, society
