Snow Day Page #4

Synopsis: When an entire town in upstate New York is closed down by an unexpected snowfall, a "snow day" begins when a group of elementary school kids, led by Natalie Brandston, try to ensure that the schools stay closed by stopping a mechanical snowplow driver by trying to hijack his plow truck. Meanwhile, Natalie's big brother Hal is using this day to try to win the affections of Claire Bonner, the most popular girl in his high school, while Hal and Natalie's father Tom, a TV meteorologist, faces off against a rival meteorologist for weather coverage of the day's events.

- lt's perfect.

lt sure is.

Come on.

You know what we can do today?

Start an avalanche.

- l've got a bracelet to return.

- No, no.

Lane, this snow day has given me

a second chance with Claire.

What do you think she's gonna do? Hug

you, lick your ear and call you "Bunky" ?

Maybe you don't believe in

true love, but l do.

ls that what you think it is?

Man, you're dumb!

Love isn't about fate

and magic bracelets and destiny.

lt's about finding someone you

can stand to be around for 1 0 minutes.

- You're a real romantic.

- This is gonna end in flames.

Come on, Lane, have a little faith.

lt is a snow day.

What do you think you're doing?

Chet's trying to break his all-time

record. Oh, man. You blew it!

- l told you to lay down the rug.

- We will.

l thought

this was supposed to be a day off.

Wayne, l'd be careful about

eating too much of that stuff.

With all those layers, if you had to go

to the bathroom, it could be close.

All right, you brought Meltar!

Where's his faithful sidekick Fangor?

Chasing some girl. Don't even ask.

So, what's our quest today?

You know what Meltar says,

"Listen to the wind!"

That's not the wind!

Snowploughman.

Come on! Move it!

l don't know about this.

Couldn't we just make a snowman?

No way. This is the year

Hal and l said we'd take him down.

- Hal's not here so...

- Snowball. Now.

What do you need? Standard

"Slushball" , always dependable.

The ever-popular "Moonball". The last

thing he sees is you mooning him.

l've got the jelly-filled "Snownut".

And this one...speaks for itself.

- Give me the "Snownut".

- Oh, man. l gotta whiz!

(SCREAMlNG )

- lt's now or never.

- l'll go with now!

Run!

Put some oomph into it, Wayno!

No, don't leave me here!

l don't wanna die with my pants down!

lf you can't hunt with the big dogs, you

better sit on the porch with the pups!

Come on, guys! Help!

Come on, Chet, go!

Oh, man! Oh, man! Oh, man!

The office is closed down,

and you make me come to work.

l had to walk the whole way!

Look at my toes.

- They're frozen, like ''Tater-Tots''.

- Nona, what was l supposed to do?

l'm completely snowed-in here.

Everybody else is taking the day off.

Why can't we?

We have worked too hard and too long

to let a little snow get in the way of 42

percent global market share. lt'll be fun!

First thing l need

is the quarterly earnings report.

The first thing you need

is a stun gun for your kid.

l'll call you back.

Randy honey, is that any way

to treat your head?

l wanna go outside. Mrs Huffner

lets us go outside at school.

But remember what Mummy said?

When her work is done, we go outside.

Tell me a story.

Okay, okay.

Once upon a time, in a land far,
