late at night

and put our hats

on the lions.

(GASPING) Rare!

That's ten Thrill Points

for sure!

Guess what!

Zeke gave me homework.

He said to look for

Bigfoot scat!

JUD Y:

Scat:
Noun.

Scientific term

for animal droppings,

also known as poop,

dung or doodoo.

But that's not

its only meaning.

(SNICKERING) Are you sure

he wasn't telling you to scat?

Scat:
Verb.

Slang term meaning to exit,

scram or go away.

Gotcha, Stink.

- (GROANING) Judy. Ice cream!

- (HORN BLARES)

- (EXCLAIMING)

- (ICE CREAM TRUCK MUSIC)

Wait! Help! Stop!

Hey, my hand is stuck!

My hand is glued

to the table!

- (GASPING)

- Yeah, help!

- OK, I'll be right back.

- Stinker!

Buy me an ice cream!

Please?

I'm coming to save you.

This won't take long.

I hope.

OPAL:
OK, this spatula

is our last hope.

- Want some?

- An ABS?

Already Been Slobbered?

No, thanks.

It's gonna be OK.

OK, more leverage.

Hang in there.

(CLATTERING)

More pressure.

Almost!

(GRUNTING)

Almost...

- Almost...

- (POPPING)

(GIGGLING) Free! Free!

Free at last!

In only an hour

and 17 minutes

and 45 seconds.

(SIGHING) This was

the worst day of my life.

I'm sorry.

I'll do anything you want.

Anything to make it

up to you.

- Anything?

- Mm-hm.

Well, tomorrow night, there's

a Cemetery Creep 'n Crawl.

Can we go?

I don't know.

Is it worth

Thrill Points?

Yes.

Then totally. Absolutely.

Yes, yes, yes!

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(MUSIC ON HEADPHONES)

Where should I put

the scat in, Opal?

Fridge or freezer?

Whatever.

It's your animal poop.

OK. I think freezer.

Hey, Judy,

we're gonna leave at seven,

and then we're gonna eat

our picnic at the cemetery.

- What do you think?

- Yeah!

Extra points for eating

with skeletons!

And I need 'em, 'cause Amy

just swam with sharks!

Lemme see, lemme see!

Whoa.

Wow, swimming with a shark.

That's cool.

(SPLATTING)

You're gonna

lose this race so bad.

Hey, look,

your ring is green!

Green with envy!

Green like pond scum!

Green like boogers!

Stink, you're

an intergalactic booger.

Hey, where are you going?

To the cemetery.

We're walking, right?

It's miles from here.

We have to take Humphrey.

Who's Humphrey?

That's what our dad

calls our car.

No way! You know, your dad had a bike

named Humphrey when we were kids.

Let's take bikes!

Not allowed after dark.

Oh.

(HISSING) Bummer.

Let's do this!

(CLATTERING)

Oh!

OK.

Steering wheel, gas, brakes.

Ignition.

Frog.

You know how

to drive, right?

- (ENGINE STARTING)

- Of course.

I drove across

the Horn of Africa.

(BOTH YELLING) Watch out!

That was ten years ago.

I'm sorry.

R is for reverse.

Got it now.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(KIDS SCREAMING)

(GASPING)

- Whoa!

- You call that driving?

No worries.

It'll come back to me.

(SIGHING)

Is there a map or something?

'Cause I have no idea

where I'm going.

Got one.

(BIKE HORN)

- GIRL:
Ha-ha!

- (TOOTING HORN)

JUDY:
Jessica Finch?

Can you get a ticket

for driving too slow?

All right, backseat driver.

- (TIRES SCREECHING)

- (BOTH SCREAMING)

(ALL SCREAMING)

Watch out!

You're gonna hit the...

...bouncy castle!

(BRAKES SQUEALING)

Holy... crap!

You said crap!

Crap is a swear!

Crap is not a swear.

Yes!

- (PANTING)

- Sorry, little man!

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

(ENGINE SPUTTERING)

And we are out of gas.

And way super lost.

Are we still in Virginia?

Of course we are.

Look, it's Larkspur Pier.

It's Virginia's number one

tourist attraction.

Whoa.

JUDY:
Looks more like Virginia's

number one ghost town.

Can we eat? I'm starving.

(OPAL SIGHING)

Isn't it cool, Judy?

Wow, we're in the Un Zone!

How cool is that?

The Un Zone. Get it?

- It's cool.

- That's so funny.

Look, I have baloney for you.

And turkey for Stink.

Yummy, yummy.

Delicious sandwich.

- Ooh, I brought ketchup.

- Oh, yes.

I remembered

the ketchup for you.

(SNIFFING)

This smells funny.

Almost like...

Oh, look, a seagull.

I like seagulls.

- Bon apptit!

- Bon what?

- Oogley boogley!

- Ooh, what is that?

It's scat! Doodoo!

Dung! Poop!

(ALL SHRIEKING)

- Disgusting!

- Gross, gross!

(GROANING)

- Crap!

- That too.

Eww.

JUDY:
"Dear Rocky,

Have you ever been

on a poop picnic?

- I have and it stinks on ice!

- (CHATTERING)

Hardee-har-har!"

Be quiet, you guys!

I can't hear myself write!

Sorry!

So, the right is the gas,

the left is the brake.

- Mmm.

- OK?

- OK. Vroom!

- (TIRES SCREECHING)

Not that fast!

Gentle, gentle.

- (LAUGHTER)

- (CRASHING NOISES)

"So what else stinks

about this summer?"

Let's see.

JUD Y:
"'Surf a wave' sounds thrilladelic."

Great! Good job.

"Just never try it with

Mr. Sponge Frank Squarebottom. "

- All right, Judy, ready?

- Ready!

- Frank, you ready?

- Ready, Frank?

- Look out for the wave!

- (FRANK GURGLING)

(YELLING)

- Come back, Frank!

- No!

Come back!

JUD Y:
"And remember

Mr. Todd's challenge?

Find him and get a prize?

I got a prize, all right. "

BOTH:
Mr. Todd!

"The cuckoo-head prize.

And Amy can't stop sending

mega-thrill pics from Borneo.

(GULPING, BURPING)

If you ever go to ride

an elephant, Rocky,

be careful. "

"Ride an elephant,

today only."

(ELEPHANT TRUMPETING)

OPAL:
Sorry.

"With my luck, you end up

giving the elephant a ride.

So Mr. Todd is supposed to be

somewhere cold, right?"

Mr. Todd?

(BOTH GROANING)

"Well, he isn't working

in the bakery freezer,

that's for sure.

And he wasn't at the mall,

the pool, the park,

or by the sea.

Mr. Todd is nowhere.

You and Amy aren't even here

and you'll probably

find him before me.

I'm so desperado

for Thrill Points,

Aunt Opal tried to help me

put hats on the lions at the library,

but we missed the bus.

(THUNDER CRASHING)

At the worst possible time.

- (LAUGHING)

- And all we got were Un-Points.

Aunt Opal says,

"When all else fails, dance."

(POP MUSIC PLAYS)

(NEEDLE SCRATCH, MUSIC STOPS)

(MUSIC STARTS AGAIN)

So I tried to make that

into a Thrill Point game.

I love dancing, so that'd

be easy peasy, right?

- (NEEDLE SCRATCH, MUSIC STOPS)

- Wrong."

STINK:
You lose Thrill Points.

(MUSIC STARTS AGAIN)

- (NEEDLE SCRATCH, MUSIC STOPS)

- STINK:
Freeze!

- Whoa!

- "I lost every round.

(MUSIC STARTS AGAIN)

And how many Thrill Points

do I have

after one whole summer

of trying?

Nada, zip, zero,

zilch points.

So, Rocky, can you please

think up more dares for me?

'Cause otherwise I'm gonna be

a no-point, dare-doing loser!"

OPAL:
Hey, Judy,

Frank's here!

JUDY:
Coming!

Hey, Judy!

Ready for the evil creature

double feature?

- Yup.

- Me, too. Let's go.

Who are you?

- Bride of Frankenstein.

- And I'm Frankenstein.

FRANK:
We even have

matching rings.

(SINGING) Judy and Frank,

sitting in a tree!

K-l-S-S-l-N-G!

Do you want me

to feed you to Jaws?

- Um-um-um-um.

- Then take it back.

G-N-l-S-S-l-K.

Let's go.

Bye, Aunt O... whoa.

- Are you making pancakes?

- No way.

This is plaster of Paris.

Wow. Mom and Dad would freak

if they saw this mess.

Oh, yeah. You should really get
