Bruno & Boots: This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall Page #8

---

underage dignitaries

is one thing, but... ninjas?

Sturgeon and Bruno and Cathy

are still in that meeting.

Maybe we should,

like, warn them?

Yeah, but...

ninjas!

Do my ears deceive me?

- You have the greatest school

- in all of the world,

And yet you are afraid

to defend it?

Well, I am not.

For the Hall!

You know what?

He's right.

Our school

is the greatest.

So let's go save our school

and our friends.

Sorry, who's that

crazy kid again?

It is he,

Francisco Diaz,

crown prince of Malbonia.

- The one you're doing

- all this for?

Oh no, I'm just in it

for the drive-thru.

OK, let's go get him.

Let's go, buddy.

Yup, definitely sleeping gas.

Which means we're in trouble...

and I know just what we need!

And that is what a school

like Macdonald Hall

needs in a headmaster,

which you will get in me,

William Theodore Stur...

Uh, Robert Jeremiah Hartley.

Oh!

Thank you.

Excellent speech, Hartley.

Thank you.

The Hall will be

in excellent hands

if run by the man

who wrote that.

Alright, William,

if you have anything

else to add...

Well...

Um...

I suppose that anybody

that is fa... familiar, uh,

with the, um...

I'm not a big fan of, uh...

improvisation. In some ways,

I find that, um...

Ladies and gentlemen,

I, Brunhilda Wexford,

would like to... would like

to say a few words

on behalf of The Fi... uh,

Headmaster Sturgeon.

No! Maybe not

the right time for...

My dear,

dear nephew, George,

well, to be honest,

is not my favorite person in

the world... bit of a snob really.

Brunhilda, Brunhilda,

stay focused, dear.

Yes, right.

This isn't about George.

It isn't even really

about Headmaster Sturgeon.

This is about change. Right.

Do you remember those things

we used to say to the kids?

You know:
"Change is a part

"of growing up

and it's a part of life,

and change helps us grow..."

Ha! New heels.

Let's be honest.

Change isn't good.

Change means losing

what you're used to.

We had to change our mascot.

No fun, believe me.

You know, I think perhaps this

is not the best time to talk...

But that doesn't mean

it isn't gonna happen anyways,

to all of us,

and there's nobody better

at helping with that

than Mr. Sturgeon.

I know. I mean, uh,

George has told me

that Headmaster Sturgeon

understands that kids make

mistakes and they mess up,

right? Even temporarily...

take down a school or two, huh?

Isn't that right?

He cares about us.

Some change is good. Some isn't.

Macdonald Hall without

Headmaster Sturgeon...

Ha!

That isn't change.

That's just crazy.

Wait one minute.

You said "Sturgeon

cares about us".

You're not a student

of this school...

or are you?

Pff!

Whoa, easy, easy there, Hartley.

No need to pick on a lady.

Or is she a lady? Hm?

How dare you say

such a thing? I ought to take

you outside right now...

Get out now!

I'm defending you, dear.

Oh, please!

This is obviously a ruse to end

this meeting and save Sturgeon!

Show's what you know.

He didn't know about any

of this. He has no control

over any of us.

Not helping, Bruno,

- but you can

- explain later. Uh...

If everybody could just

please follow me, quickly.

Quickly, quickly.

Again, nice trick, Sturgeon,

but I'm not

falling for it.

Where's Jane Snow?

How can she just disappear?

- Alright, come on,

- keep moving.

- There's two more

- board members gone.

Not to worry,

I'm still here.

Hartley!

This way, let's go, let's go!

Okay, I know a shortcut.

I had that sealed off last week.

- Yeah, I know you think

- you did, but...

Other way.

Hold this. Hold this.

Hey! Are those my biscuits?

That's not working!

They're too light and fluffy!

- They're an award-winning

- recipe, of course they're light

- And fluffy!

- We need something more

Than baked goods to save us!

It worked!

Elmer?

Everybody duck!

Whoa!

Chew on that!

It worked! It worked!

All it needed was

a little more awesome,

and also a couple extra screws

in the backpack, but still,

the Viscositizer's a win!

Nice job!

- Okay, we need to find

- the rest of the board members.

Ladies, if you can hear me:

for the Hall's honor!

Yes!

Yeah!

This is all...

As soon as we have our prince,

you all will go.

But until then...

Hi, everyone!

Don't worry, we're gonna get you

out of here as soon as possible.

You're last.

Team one, where are you?

Come in!

Fire in the hole!

Pando? Is that you?

Save our school!

William,

what is going on?

Why am I getting texts

from my girls about ninjas?

Do you hear

what they're chanting?

Save our school.

Your girls

and my boys.

Speaking of boys, all I have

to do now is get Francisco back.

Sorry, who?

Uh, never mind.

It doesn't matter.

It's not important.

Boots, man, you did it! Well,

I mean, we did it. But you...

Bruno! Where's the prince?

I thought you had him.

I did, and... well,

then I didn't, so...

Wait, wait.

What prince?

Bruno! Boots!

That was so much fun!

That prince.

He's with one of them!

Save our prince!

No, no, no, no, no!

It's alright! This is Pando,

- head of the Royal Commandos.

- Wait, the Royal Commandos?

- Could somebody

- please tell me what is

going on here, exactly?

I would appreciate this, too.

And you would be...

It is I, King Balthazar Diaz

of the Royal Republic

of Malbonia.

Malbonia.

Malbonia.

But why would you

want to come here,

to this place of commoners?

No offense intended.

Because, Father, ever since

I became video pals with

Bruno Walton, I saw how much fun

you can have in a school!

- Even a school

- that is not a castle

And has no statues

of myself inside.

It is true,

I am quite fun.

But that is ridiculous!

School is not for fun.

School is for important things,

like learning how to be a king.

You understand this, yes?

Actually, Your Highness,

I happen to believe that when

you let children guide their

own learning experience,

their sense of self

engenders so...

I think what my well-meaning

colleague is trying to say

is that kids know

what they need.

I need a snack!

Believe it! Not only

endangering the board

and the entire school, but me!

Well, and you, of course.

While saving your hide,

Hartley.

While saving all of our hides.

Which the board has agreed

is a pretty great example

of how well Headmaster Sturgeon

has prepared his students

- for life beyond Macdonald Hall.

- What?

- Plus, any school

- that can make a prince travel

halfway around the world for fun

must be doing

something right.

I don't know what to say.

Well, I do.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

You know, she is right.

Yes. Miss Snow is

tough, but fair.

No, no. Your colleague, here.

The beautiful.

Eugenia Scrimmage.

Currently single.

Oh!

- I have ignored

- what my son wants

for too long,

and I will fix this.

And I will fix the school

for the damage that my Royal

Commandos have done to it!

Well, one down, at least.

I'm sorry?

Sorry. What my friend means is

that Miss Scrimmage's academy
