Max Keeble's Big Move Page #3

Some of the kids

are trying to save...

the animal shelter

down the street.

Kids? What kids?

The ones with the sense

of caring and civic duty.

You there. Cease!

What is the meaning of this?

Hey, I didn't do that.

So you want to save

the filthy little beasts, eh?

Perhaps you want me

to give the animals my car?

Do you want me to give my car

to the smelly goat?

Goats don't drive, sir.

I don't care

what you want me to do.

The smelly goat

will never get my car.

Ever.

The animals have nowhere to go.

Some creep's

closing down the shelter.

I'm closing down

the shelter, silly boy.

What?

All I need now is

the right bulldozer.

I'm thinking big and yellow.

Where did you think

I was going to build...

Knebworth stadium,

in your house? Ha ha.

Your house. That's rich.

There wouldn't be room.

Whoa.

# Better watch out

for the king of the hill #

# He's really bad

and totally chill #

# Better watch out

for the king of the hill #

Freak with robe?

All right, guys.

Hit the showers.

Come on, ladies.

Hello, freak.

Let me out!

Come on, let me out!

What's going on, huh?

McGinty's latest victim.

You gotta check this out.

Ha ha ha.

ROBE:

Let me out! Come on!

Let me out!

Come on, let me out.

-All right, OK.

-Come on, Max.

OK. It's OK.

He's a little claustrophobic,

so he might...

Hurl.

What a waste of a perfectly

good chili omelet.

Let me check the latest rates.

That's $3.00

for number one...

and $5.00 for number two.

I have a bladder problem.

Sorry to hear it.

-Keeble.

-Get off me!

I worked really hard

on that display.

Excuse me. New customers.

DOBBS:

Can I help you, gentlemen?

-No, thanks.

-Keeble, shut up.

How much for a swirlie?

Take stall number 4.

No, no. Come on, Troy.

-No charge.

-Thanks, man.

Can we talk about this?

I'm gonna get my hair wet.

Come on, Troy!

Ow! Come on!

Water.

A recurring geographical

feature which allows...

a civilized society

to develop.

For example,

rivers, springs...

Mr. Keeble?

You're tardy,

and you're dripping.

I have rules against both.

Now, class, another

feature which allows...

a civilized society

to develop is a code of rules.

Without rules, society

would completely collapse.

Do you agree with

that statement, Mr. Keeble?

I guess so.

I guess you'll write me

a 2,000-word essay...

on the subject.

That's not fair!

Which I will look forward

to seeing on my desk...

drip-dry Friday!

This Friday?

This Friday!

Wait.

Friday was the day

I was moving...

and this teacher was mean.

She let Dobbs steal my money.

She wanted to punish me

when it wasn't my fault.

But if I wasn't

gonna be here...

what could she really

do to me, right?

It was time to take a stand.

How come I can't

do the essay right now?

Now, class...

Mmm. That's good.

A civilized society

does need a set of rules.

Otherwise, people could do this.

Oops.

Did I say 2,000 words?

Make that 4,000!

Or... this.

Make that 8,000 words,

and take your seat now!

8,000 words?

That's kid stuff.

How about 12,000 words?

Do I hear 12,000 words,

ladies and gentlemen?

12,000 words!

Sold! For 12,000 words!

Get off my desk!

Okee-day.

You're in serious trouble,

Mr. Keeble.

# Yeah #

See ya.

Hello, sweetheart.

No consequences.

I could do anything

I wanted.

Excuse me.

Where do you think

you're going?

If you're ever

in the windy city...

Iook me up.

Anything.

And now, all the people

who had tried to run us down...

mess us up,

push us around...

were in for a real surprise.

Told you it was gonna

happen sooner or later.

Didn't I?

Yes, I did. Yes, I did.

# Wait, see #

# I do whatever moves me #

I'm closing down the shelter.

Pheromones...

nature's dating service.

I keep my money in a piggy bank.

It just looks like you.

After all, I had to do

something about the bullies.

All I needed was

a little bit of help.

Because

I'm outta here in 2 days.

Don't you see?

This isn't just a plan.

It's... it's a planetarium.

Look, I'm gonna be

the one they come after...

but I'm not gonna be here...

and that is the beauty of it.

I mean, you guys won't

even know what I'm up to.

All you have to do

is help me out.

And we'll have...

what do you call it?

Plausible deniability.

Plausible deniability.

Did you just make that up?

So we all down for the cause?

One question.

Can't we just have

a going-away party instead?

We will, a huge blowout...

when this is over.

So?

Marching call!

# You know a fella's

good for the moola #

Looks like somebody

froze your assets, man.

Let's see what

we can do about that.

Hey!

Step off, capitalist tool.

Man, why don't you

go get a real job, fool?

I told you, their lunch money

is mine, vendor.

Yeah, that's right.

Trading hours are over.

Hello, Vladimir.

Hmm.

And let me just remind...

the citizens

of Curtis Junior High...

that we are now

T-minus... several hours...

until the

Superintendent Knebworth visit.

That is all. Thank you.

I'm a walrus, hey.

The camera's still on!

OK.

I'm OK.

Sorry.

I know.

It's just that

we have to be...

very careful

with the lab equipment.

Our budget is very tight...

thanks to

the new football program.

45 cents. Cool.

Let's check

my grosses today.

Where's my handheld?

Hey, mister,

my Fudgsicle's melting!

Oh, it's supposed to be melting.

People pay extra for that.

Now, beat it!

All of you, beat it!

The heat is on!

Fartknocker!

Evil Ice Cream Man's going down.

How great.

I sure am gonna miss you guys.

I guess you'll make

new friends in Chicago.

Right, Max?

I guess so. I don't know.

I never really thought about it.

Hey, maybe you'll meet kids...

exactly like us in every way.

You know, like clones.

Yeah. Maybe I will.

Well, there's still

your going-away party.

There's gonna be a cake

and everything.

-I baked it.

-Yeah, don't forget.

Tomorrow,

4:
00, House of Robe.

I'm providing the ice cream.

ICE CREAM MAN:

What's going on?!

It's melting!

Hey, Max?

What are you doing?

Stuff.

Getting ready for

the big move kind of stuff?

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry

we sprung this on you, Max...

but it was sort of

sprung on me the same way.

Uh-huh.

OK. Tsk.

What if I didn't take the job?

What then? A home...

the food we eat,

the clothes you wear...

that takes a lot of money.

I just can't see why

we can't stay.

Well, sometimes in life...

you gotta do things

that you don't want to do...

because other people

who have power over you...

tell you to do them.

No, Dad, I mean,

if you rise up...

and... and show

that you're not afraid...

those people will no longer
