- BOY 1:
See you later!

- (LAUGHTER)

BOY 2:
Come on, guys.

Leave him alone.

BOY:
Hello?

(BOY WHOOSHING SOFTLY)

(MIMICS EXPLOSION)

(GASPS)

(GRUNTING)

Boy.

(BOY GASPS)

Wow. That was amazing.

Why don't you play outside

with your friends?

I don't know.

(KIDS LAUGHING OUTSIDE)

Come here.

You don't know, huh?

Sometimes they make fun of me.

MR. LIU:
Hmm.

Is that real?

MR. LIU:
Yes.

It's real.

Everything here is real.

BOY:
Whoa. Is that real?

(CAT SNORING)

That cat is real.

Real monster.

(CAT GROWLS SOFTLY)

(SNARLS)

What's that?

This?

BOY:
This is Lloyd.

MR. LIU:
Hmm.

He looks like

a very brave fighter.

BOY:
No, he's just a kid.

He can't do anything.

He might look different, but...

But he can do great things.

Whoa.

You just have to look at it,

from a different

point of view.

- (COUGHS)

- (SPEAKING MANDARIN)

Whoa!

MR. LIU:
This is his teacher.

Very old,

very wise

and very handsome.

(CHUCKLES)

Have you ever heard the legend

behind the legend of NINJAGO?

No.

MR. LIU:
I will tell you.

But to truly see it,

you must forget

everything you know.

And see things in a new way.

MR. LIU:
The story of NINJAGO

is the story of a boy.

His name is Lloyd.

And his dad is the worst guy

in the history of the world.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING

Hello?

(MUNCHING ON CELL PHONE)

Hello.

What do you want?

- Uh... You called me.

- Hang on a second.

Mm. I must have

butt dialed you. Who is this?

(SIGHS) It's Lloyd.

- Lloyd Garmadon, your son.

- No.

My son is totally bald

and has no teeth.

Yeah, well, surprise.

I'm not a baby anymore.

Duly noted.

How old are you?

You're seven, right?

- You're seven? Huh.

Sixteen.

Just add nine to that.

- Well, good talk, son.

- Wait.

Are you sure there isn't

a special reason

why you might have

called me today?

On this day.

Specifically today.

Look, I didn't call you.

My butt called you.

- Oh.

- (CONTINUES MUNCHING)

Well, no time to chat. Sorry,

Daddy's got to go to work.

- Gotta get that Green Ninja.

- Yeah.

Glad the teeth

finally came in. Bye-bye.

(DIAL TONE)

Lloyd! Good morning!

Mom, hey,

um, here's a thought.

What if I didn't go

to school today?

What? Oh, no!

You don't want to

miss school, honey.

These are the best years

of your life.

Um, have you...

Have you been to high school?

'Cause, uh...

It's judgey. Pretty judgey.

Oh, honey.

You just need to give them

a chance to see the real you.

Yeah, I don't think

I can actually show people

the real me.

That's not true.

All you've got to do

is just show them

the person you are

on the inside.

MOM:
Right here.

Where it matters most.

Oh, and also don't forget,

if your dad attacks

the city again today,

just be sure to...

BOTH:
Duck and cover

until the Secret Ninjas

give the all clear.

- MOM:
Oh, and also, don't forget,

- LLOYD:
Yeah?

Have a happy birthday, honey.

Thanks, Mom.

I'll try my best.

Of course you will!
