Bruno & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool Page #2

to form a sharing circle

to discuss their feelings that

led to these "pranks."

Your boys are welcome.

Ms. Scrimmage,

the only thing my boys need

to share is an understanding

of what happens

when they break the rules.

My rules. But...

thank you for your concern.

Hello?

Hello?

Ms. Davis?

Bruno and Boots?

If you please.

Yep.

That's a non-regulation

shirt, Spencer. Two demerits.

Bruno and Boots

to the headmaster's office.

Thank you.

Pierce! Running in the halls.

Three demerits. And you,

with the non-regulation

eraser up your nose.

One demerit.

Walton. You and your

roommate must report to--

What was that?

What's what, George

Wexford-Smythe III?

That's George

Wexford-Smythe the Third.

I'm not a movie sequel.

Really? Because I heard

every one of you

is worse than the last.

Yeah.

That's a pathetic excuse

for a punchline. Five demerits.

Oh, yeah, keep laughing.

Because clearly you're

not in enough trouble.

All right.

Got my eye on you, Bruno!

I see everything!

But, guys,

all my friends are here!

I have great classes.

I'm trying my best!

It's-- It's everything.

You can't take that away.

We can talk about it later.

Hon, we gotta go.

Race starts in 20 minutes.

We know you can do great

things, Melvin.

There's a leader in you.

We just want to see it.

Love you!

I couldn't agree more.

Hello, Bruno.

Hi.

Goodbye, Bruno.

Oh. See ya.

Dude, you're not still bummed

about that race, right?

No! Look, it's not that.

No, look. It's all cool, man.

Don't worry about it.

Are you sure, man?

Yeah.

Okay, good.

'Cause the, uh,

Fish wants to see us

in his office. Pronto.

Great.

But, you know,

I've got a feeling that he's

gonna be in a good mood today.

...not to mention extremely

poor sportsmanship.

Surely Macdonald Hall boys know

how to lose graciously.

Losing graciously is about

all we know how to do.

I take full responsibility

for this, sir. It's just,

when they pushed Boots in the

pool and everything, I just...

I don't know, I guess

I just kind of lost control.

Oh, the pranks seemed very

well-controlled, Walton.

Okay, first, you know,

thank you. And--

Not a compliment.

Thank you.

Sir,

have I ever done anything

that wasn't 100 percent

deserved?

Need I remind you of the

Moldovan flag incident?

Oh! No, you, uh, you don't

need to remind us of that.

The court case

is actually still pending.

The unfortunate incident

regarding the penguin

and federal authorities?

That penguin

knew exactly what

he was getting into. We've--

The green wiener incident?

Well, actually, sir,

in our defense,

it was St. Patrick's Day.

Not that green wiener incident.

Oh.

Oh.

Look. Regardless of who

deserves what, the question now

is who deserves to clean up

the mess at York Academy.

Elmer Drimsdale

said that in five days

the pool will

be as good as new.

Actually, with the Fizz-All

purifying the water,

probably better than new.

Yeah.

So, I mean, in a way, York

kind of owes us a thank-you.

Quit while

you're ahead, O'Neal.

Yes, sir.

If Elmer is right,

and lucky for you,

he usually is,

punishment will be light.

One week confined to

your rooms after dinner.

Out.

Uh, sir, if I do an extra week

of punishment now, does that

come off any future punishments?

It's a good question.

Boys...

One moment. Sit down again.

Since you both

came to Macdonald Hall,

you've expended not an

inconsiderable amount of energy

on things that explode, fizz,

rumble, shatter, squish...

Squish?

Operation Pudding Pants.

Oh.

Think about what good

could happen if you put all

of that energy into something

that would last. You're not

going to be here forever.

Actually, sir,

I'm working on that one.

I probably won't even

be here next year.

What?

My parents want to pull me out

of Macdonald Hall.

Uh...

Could-- Could--

Could you give us a minute?

This is my office.

I was gonna say...

Yeah, but why, Boots?

You know my mom.

She was on

the Olympic gym squad.

Can I have your autograph?

And my dad still coaches

basketball. They're jocks.

I'm a jock!

Thanks, man. See ya.

They just think I belong at

a school that's better for...

jocks.

Yeah, but dude,

we've been best pals

since the first day.

Do you remember our first day?

Yeah. How could I forget?

I said I want too much

One second!

Woo!

Oh, uh,

don't worry. My side of the room

is just as bad as yours.

Hey. Uh...

Sup?

I'm Melvin.

We're gonna have

to change that. Okay, Melvin.

I am gonna call you...

uh... pants.

Pants?

Ah, we'll work on it.

Come on in, man. How you doing?

Did you see a fire extinguisher

on the way in? Neither did I.

And that is when I knew that

we'd be best pals forever.

How you literally

blew up our room

and then gave me

a nickname they hate

probably won't

convince my folks.

Why do they need

convincing, dude?

You've already got the greatest

friend in the world,

and you go to the number one

school in the country.

Okay,

number one at attendance.

But do your folks

know that?

Look, I know that

and you know that.

But if my folks don't care,

what can I do about it?

Tell you what

you can do about it.

Just... I'll put the word out,

okay? Midnight meeting.

Sound good?

All right, let's do it.

See you, man.

See you.

Password?

It's us, Elmer.

Bruno says we need a password.

No exceptions.

I think it's "open the door,

or we'll open it for you."

With your head.

All lower case.

All one word.

Ah!

Now I don't

want to blow things

out of proportion or anything,

but this could be

the darkest hour

in Macdonald Hall history.

Ever.

Got your message. What's up?

Oh, nothing major.

Doom, gloom and life

as we know it. Hot chocolate?

Could you be a little bit more

specific? If we get caught here,

Scrimmage has us in self-esteem

building exercises for a month.

Boots might get kicked out

of the Hall next year.

And obviously,

that can't happen.

Macdonald Hall without

Bruno and Boots is like...

like the North Pole without

Santa and Mrs. Claus.

I'm Santa.

Okay?

But we are here to make sure

that that doesn't happen, right?

Indubitably.

I couldn't have said, mumbled

or drawn it better myself!

Uh, all right, everyone.

Show us what you got.

Best idea wins, but there

are no wrong answers.

So with glasses and

a moustache, Boots will be

unrecognizable to his parents

when they come to get him.

Meaning he can stay. Forever!

I'm Boots. Yeah. Hoo hoo!

Can't find me. Uh, huh.

"And after a few

"termite generations,

Boots's new school will be

"a pile of sawdust.

You can't be sent to a school

that doesn't exist."

I think this could work.

Yeah...

So once we cross the equator,

the Earth's gravitational pull

should allow us to slingshot

through the Earth's atmosphere.

And the llamas, Elmer?

I'm getting to the llamas!

Anyways. Once we reverse

the polarity of the neutron

flow, we should generate one...

Oh... okay. okay.

Okay, show of hands.

Does anybody have an idea
