---

- Cool.

What about going to the bathroom?

Stink, I'm a...

- (ALARM BEEPING)

- (MOM SCREAMING)

- JUDY:
What's that?

- MOM:
Dinner's on fire!

Don't worry!

I can put it out! Lobster!

(STINK SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY)

I can save us!

I'll get water!

OK, hurry, hurry, hurry!

- (ALARM BEEPING)

- I have water! I have water!

I can put it out! Don't worry!

- DAD:
Careful! Hot! Hot! Hot!

- MOM:
Take it to the sink!

DAD:
OK, watch it! Sink!

- Judy, you don't need to do that anymore!

- Hey!

JUDY:
Don't worry, I can put it out!

MOM:
It's OK, Judy.

(LAUGHING)

Bull's-eye!

Wow, it's the famous Judy Moody!

(GROWLS AND CHUCKLES)

You are so cute!

Opal, you've only been here five minutes,

and already the house is on fire.

DAD:
Unbelievable.

OPAL:
Wow, you got so much bigger.

Do you remember this?

Kinda.

Wow. You've got more bracelets

than my math tutor,

and she's in college.

Here, you wanna have this one?

- It's made out of yak hair.

- Really?

I got it off a monkey for 500 rupees.

Wow. Cool!

Wow, thanks! Rare!

OK, but here's your real presents.

Stinker?

Awesome!

"So You Want to Catch Bigfoot?"

Look, look, look, look! Awesome!

Thank you, Aunt Opal!

Thank you! Thank you!

Yeah! Man, oh, man, oh, man!

Ye-ye-yeah!

I got a Bigfoot!

Yeah! Book.

Nice dance. OK.

And this is your present.

(GASPS) A mood ring?

How did you know?

I think you're a big hit, Ope.

(MOUTHS SILENTLY)

- You like it?

- I love it!

- Thank you!

- MOM:
(CLEARS THROAT) Guys,

I'm so sorry to interrupt,

but what do you wanna do about dinner?

(GASPS)

JUDY AND STINK:
Pizza!

A large Hawaiian Surprise

and a pepperoni with tuna fish.

Wanna go to Fur and Fangs while we wait?

Sure.

Yay, 'cause I wanna show Zeke my book

and prove to you that Bigfoot exists.

Right.

- (HISSING)

- (ANIMAL SOUNDS)

(CHITTERS)

(QUIETLY SQUAWKS)

- PARROT:
Thank you.

- (DOOR OPENS)

Hey, Zeke! Check this out!

Hey, little dude.

Whoa.

Sweet.

- It's a first edition.

- (GASPS)

ZEKE:
Who's the girl?

Are you a Bigfooter?

That's my sister Judy,

who doesn't believe in Bigfoot.

Seriously?

Mega-total super seriously.

(CRACKING)

Uh-oh.

Show her, Zeke.

Show her the proof.

Do you think she can handle...

...the cave?

The what?

Bigfoot lives.

Bigfoot lives.

- (THUD)

- Ow!

(LOUD CLICK AND ELECTRICAL

WHIRRING)

MAN:
Welcome to the headquarters

of the Bigfoot Believers Association.

Wow.

- You finished it! It's great.

- Thanks.

What is this, a clubhouse for bats?

Observe.

(TECHNO MUSIC PLAYS)

ZEKE:
Yeti from the Himalayas.

Sasquatch...

- Sasquatch!

- ... man-beast of the great Northwest.

Momo along the mighty Mississippi.

In the outback of Australia, he's Bunyip.

Call him what you will,

one fact is clear:

(ECHOING) Bigfoot lives.

Is this cool or what?

In 1978, Appleston Morris

captured definitive proof

that the subgenus Gigantopithecus

thrives in the modern era.

ZEKE:
That's his face.

Check that out.

Bigfoot, no longerjust for scientists.

MAN:
This is why they call it the Bigfoot.

You see what I'm saying?

This is like size 44 for a man.

Now see it?

And I got that photograph right there.

Right there?

Y'all see it right there?

We've been meeting here for a year,

ever since this guy up north spotted

Bigfoot, and caught it on camera.

Since then, we've been tracking down

Bigfoot's every move.

He is definitely headed our way.

And now for the proof.

- I keep it in cold storage.

- (WIND HOWLING)

Cold storage?

Hey, do you know a Mr. Todd?

Nope. Never heard of him.

And now,

prepare to have your mind blown.

A rare certified photo of Bigfoot.

- Look, but don't touch.

- JUDY:
Seriously?

- That's a guy in a sweater.

- STINK:
You're nuts.

- That is Bigfoot!

- Agreed.

If you need more proof,

come to one of our meetings.

Tuesdays at six.

Can't. I'm busy on Tuesdays.

From now until always.

Come on, Stink.

It's pizza time.

(SIGHING) She'll be back.

She'll be back.

MOM:
Well, I didn't know what

the backyard was missing until I saw it.

- DAD:
It's Morocco in Virginia.

- She really doesn't travel light.

- Mm-mm. Right.

- But she travels with lights.

OPAL:
I hope you guys

saved room for my dessert!

MOM:
Oh, wow.

Redecorated the patio and dessert.

Opal, you spoil us!

Hey, Stink.

Oh, honey, don't read at the table.

It's rude.

I know, but look at this.

Page 87. Bigfoot's bed.

See, he stomps down on all the grass.

Tah-dah! Tangerine fondue!

- Do you remember this?

- Uh-huh. You know...

(CLEARS THROAT LOUDLY) Yeah.

We're gonna...

We're gonna finish packing, so...

- Yeah.

- But thank you.

Enjoy, though, guys.

Hot dogs for dessert?

Yeah. I used to make this

for your dad when we were kids.

Are those Froot Loops?

OPAL:
Yeah. Dig in! Mmm.

- That doesn't count.

- But it's so oogley boogley!

This is nothing. When I was in Bali,

I ate grilled cockroaches.

Ooh. Gross.

I'll tell you what. If you take a bite,

you can be in my club,

the I Ate Something Gross Club.

JUDY:
A club? Rare!

Just one bite and we're in?

- Yeah.

- Pass the hot dogs!

OK, one, two, three.

- Mmmm.

- Mmmm.

- OPAL:
What do you think?

- This is good!

Needs more Froot Loops.

(CHUCKLING)

Triple high five, you guys.

- Club members! United!

- All right!

OPAL:
So after the Peace Corps,

I trekked across the Sahara,

and then I went

to the Kunstschule in Berlin

and I did all this really

cool underground art stuff.

And then I moved to Bali,

which is so beautiful

and I lived there until

about a month ago.

Mega-cool.

Is that where belly dancing's from?

It's Bali, not belly, silly.

It's an island.

(BOTH LAUGH)

That tickles!

So do you have any fun summer plans

I should know about?

Well, I was gonna have the best summer

ever,

but my friends ruined it.

(GROANS) I hate when that happens.

Seriously. We were gonna do all

these dares and get Thrill Points.

But they left, so no dares.

I love dares.

When I was in Kenya,

somebody once dared me

to ride in an ostrich race.

My ostrich won, but I fell off

at the starting line.

You know what, Aunt Opal?

You just gave me an idea.

I mean, what if we still did the dare chart

but made it a race?

Me, Rocky, Amy and Frank?

We could each do our own dares

and keep track of our points!

First one to get to a hundred wins!

(SNORING)

- (SNORES LOUDLY)

- Whoa!

(GROANS) Aunt Opal!

- (CLICK)

- Whoa! Oh!

(SNORING CONTINUES)

Oh, no.

(CLATTERING)

(SQUEAKS)

- What is going on?

- Shh! You'll wake Opal!

(SNORING CONTINUES)

(SNORES LOUDLY)

She slept through that?

Weird.

I know, right?

Hey, did you know that Bigfoot's

only scared of two...

Enough already with the Bigfeet!

You don't wanna hear?

Guinea pigs and...

JUD Y:
"Dear Amy and Rocky,

uber-rare idea.

Let's do a dare race,

starting right now.

First one to get to a hundred points wins!

What do ya say?"

(COMPUTER SEND SOUND)

MAN:
And the winner is Judy Moody!

(COMPUTER BLEEP)

It's from Rocky!
