Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer Page #7

---

Now remember, if you need back-up,

this van is at your service.

STINK:
August 3rd, 8:06pm.

The trap is set,

and the Bigfoot stake-out is on.

This is Stink Moody,

reporting live.

(GIGGLING)

You look like Owl Girl!

These don't work. I can't even see.

That's because

it's not dark yet.

- Oh.

- OPAL:
Hey.

Are you ready?

Let's go over the plan.

You two will sleep in the tent.

- Check.

- If you see or hear anything,

you will contact me immediately

on this walkie-talkie.

That's Stink's old baby monitor.

Whatevs. Let's call it the walkie-talkie.

What is the signal?

- (FEEDBACK)

- Code Red! Code Red!

Awesome.

What happens if you fall asleep

and Bigfoot attacks us,

and we're half-eaten

before you get downstairs?

- (SCOFFING)

- He won't attack us.

I know Bigfoot sign language.

This means, "I am your friend."

And this means,

"Your head was delicious."

OK, Bigfoot's not gonna

eat any heads, all right?

Because we're

remembering this vow:

We will not...

ALL:
Fall asleep!

(SNORING)

(DISTANT NOISES)

(NOISES CONTINUE)

JUDY:
Stink, wake up!

Code Red. Code Red.

- Aunt Opal, Code Red! Code Red!

- (SNORING)

Geez, Louise!

Holy macaroni! It's... It's him!

Gotcha!

(SCREAMING)

Bigfoot! Code Red! Code Red!

FRANK:
Help.

- Frank?

- Judy?

What are you doing here?

Well, I got my dad

to go back to the theater

and pick up our packs,

and I thought I could just

drop it off in your tent

or something so you'd find it,

only I bumped into a jar

and then you hair-netted me!

Sorry. I thought you were Bigfoot.

Why would I be Bigfoot?

(CHUCKLING) You scared

Judy's pants off, Frank!

- Did not.

- You were screaming your head off.

- JUDY:
No, I wasn't. I was...

- (DISTANT MOANING)

(GULPING)

Bigfoot?

- Bigfoot.

- Impossible. That was an owl.

(HOOTING)

That was an owl.

Or Bigfoot pretending to be

an owl! Come on, let's go!

I have to get my camcorder!

Are you coming, Frank?

It's worth mega-mega-points!

Um, I'd love to,

- but, um...

- (CAR HORN HONKS)

Oh, that's my dad. Gotta go! Bye!

STINK:
Set for night vision!

(ANIMALS CHITTERING)

Maybe it really was an owl.

Nuh-uh. That was him.

Bigfoot is famous

for his owl sounds.

Page 11.

- (HOOTING)

- (GASPS)

You go first. I'll hold the light.

You go first. I'm filming.

OK, scaredy pants.

But stay close.

JUDY:
Not that close.

- STINK:
Then go faster.

- JUDY:
No way.

(DISTANT ANIMAL SOUND)

(DISTANT ANIMAL CALL)

(CRACKING)

(RATTLING)

(DISTANT MOANING)

STINK:
What was that?

Shh.

Stop. Look. There!

- Is that some kind of bed?

- Yeah, a Bigfoot bed.

Remember from the picture?

This must be where he sleeps.

Then where is he?

He must've heard us coming.

(DISTANT ANIMAL SOUND)

He's probably watching us. Mr. Bigfoot?

We come in peace!

(ECHOING)

Hello?

Can you hear me?

- (POSSUM SHRIEKS)

- (SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

(SCREAMING STOPS)

(YAWNS)

There! See?

That's his bed!

Whoa. Do you really think it's his?

He was there. I know it.

All I know is I got

a face full of possum

and zero Thrill Points.

Don't give up. You can do it.

It can take years

to catch a monster.

But I don't have years.

I need Thrill Points now.

(BARKING)

- (MOANING)

- Look! Look, it's Bigfoot!

Look, there are the dogs!

Quick! After him!

(ALL SHOUTING)

(BARKING)

- There! After him, go! Go, go!

- (MOANING)

Whoa! Don't stop!

- Go! Go! Go!

- Come on! Come on!

We have to catch him before

he gets to Main Street!

The cars

will drive him cuckoo!

BOTH:
Page 73!

(BARKING CONTINUES)

- Did you see that?

- He's hijacking the ice cream truck!

We'll never catch him now.

(HORN HONKS)

Stop!

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid

we need this bike...

- Jessica.

...Jessica.

This is a matter of extreme

national emergency.

- Who are you?

- I am Opal,

the special agent in charge

of the apprehension

of large unidentified creatures.

We are requisitioning

all available bicycles.

Thank you for your service to your country.

JUDY:
Watch out for the!

STINK:
Get it off, get it off!

I can't see anything!

- (TIRES SCREECH)

- OPAL:
Sorry!

- STINK:
Get it off! I don't like this!

- JUDY:
I'm gonna fall off!

I can't hang on! Take it off!

- OPAL:
Oh, I can see!

- Look, the ice cream truck!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(ALL SCREAMING)

ALL:
Stop!

STINK:
Bigfoot, come back!

(ICE CREAM TRUCK MUSIC PLAYS)

(HORN HONKS)

Now what?

(BRAKES SCREECH)

Hey, we just got a report!

Bigfoot's in...

- The ice cream truck. We know!

- Get in!

Buckle up, everybody.

- Should I drive?

- JUDY AND STINK: No!

This is Herb Birnbaum reporting a large

runaway man-gorilla known as Bigfoot

who appears to have

commandeered an ice cream truck.

- Left! Turn left!

- Go left, Rose!

JUDY:
Faster!

I have to tell you, this is

my first official car chase.

Really? We get in two

or three of these a week.

HERB:
Hit it! Hit it!

ROSE:
Hang on, everybody.

Commencing infrared

warning device!

- (SIREN BLARES)

- Is that legal?

When you're chasing a man-gorilla,

son, anything is legal.

- Anything!

- (ROSE SHOUTS)

- HERB:
Whoa!

- OPAL:
Whoa!

It's a cloaking device! Like the movies!

(BRAKES SCREECH)

Windshield wipers!

JUDY AND STINK:
Go, go, go!

Oh! Wait till you see my

supersonic tracking device.

That's really like the movies.

Wow, that's cool!

You, sir, are an artist.

I programmed it with 200

different Bigfoot sounds.

The minute it picks up

the slightest...

- (CRASHING)

- (OPAL SCREAMS)

Herb, I told you

to use a lag bolt!

- HERB:
All right.

- JUDY:
Look out!

- That's the news van!

- That interviewed me!

Follow that news!

(HONKING)

(HONKING)

- (HONKING)

- Look out! Watch out! Watch out!

Outta the way! Outta the way!

(SIREN BLARING)

There!

Hey, look!

It's the poop picnic place!

Hey, kids, wait! Wait!

You'll need a protective suit!

Shh.

- Mr. Todd?

- MR. TODD:
Judy!

(CHUCKLING) Long time no see!

What's going on?

- We were saving you from...

- Bigfoot!

- Get back! Get back!

- (MOANING)

Bigfoot.

Whoa.

- ALL:
Zeke?!

- HERB:
I don't believe this!

We received at least

76 calls this morning!

JUDY:
It's my teacher!

STINK:
It's Zeke!

- I can't believe he's the ice cream guy!

- Since when are you Bigfoot?

- Why didn't you stop for us?

- Well, when?

A madcap ride through town

has led us to this pier.

Hey, I love your cool suit.

You look awesome.

Thanks.

- I'm Mr. Todd, Judy's teacher.

- Hi, I'm Opal.

And this is Bigfoot. I hired him

to help me sell ice cream.

With all the Bigfoot mania around here,

he'll really help me drum up business.

He's way better than

the arrow-pointing guy.

Why didn't you tell me

that you knew Mr. Todd?

- I've been looking for him all summer.

- Yeah.

Dudes, chill. I only met

the Toddster this morning.

Yet there are two questions

that still remain:

Is the real Bigfoot still at large?

And will he show up for the circus?

- The circus?

- Yup. It's today, right here at the pier.
