Monsters at Large

---

Go fish.

Really?

I thought I had you.

Guys, thanks for inviting me

out camping.

This has been great.

Yeah, just don't tell my parents

we snuck out here.

I would totally

get grounded.

You got it.

Any queens?

Nope! Go fish!

That was weird.

Just got quiet all of a sudden.

What was that?

I don't know.

A bear maybe?

A bear?

I haven't seen a bear before.

Let's go check it out.

Cool. Let's do this, bro!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. you said

this wasn't a scary story.

- Did I?

- This is a scary story?

No...

I don't know, the dialogue

seems pretty scary.

Pshh! Shall I continue?

"Let's do this, bro!"

Where was I?

Oh, yeah Donny

had never seen a bear,

so he asked Bobby

to go see it with him.

Elizabeth did not think

it was a good idea.

Donny Phillips, I do not think

that is a good idea.

Donny Phillips? As in our science

teacher, Mr. Donald Phillips?

Yeah, But he was

way younger then.

Donny Phillips, I do not think

that is a good idea.

All right, now,

stop interrupting.

I want to finish this story.

Where was I?

Donny said, "We'll be fine.

Ain't nothing out there

that can scare us!"

Famous last words.

Do you see anything yet?

- No, you?

- Nah.

Bobby? Donny?

I don't see your lights.

Where are you?

And that is the legend

of Foggy River.

- Lame.

- Whatever.

Did the monster get them?

What? No, they scared it away.

But Mr. Phillips

swore it was real.

After a while, the other two

said that it was fake.

So Mr. Phillips became

a local joke.

That's why he became

a science teacher.

So the monster wasn't real?

No. Well, I wouldn't say that.

I still believe

he roams the woods.

Like the ones behind your house!

Great, now, he's gonna have

nightmares forever.

What? You wanted me

to tell the story, so I did.

You said it wasn't scary.

Come on, it wasn't that scary.

Everything okay in here?

- Yes, Dad.

- We heard a scream.

Yeah, that was just me telling

them the Legend of Foggy River.

Foggy River? Are you

trying to scare my kids?

- Not intentionally.

- I'm not scared.

I know you're not,

my little man,

but, I think maybe it's time

for bed, so, come on.

Dylan should be going home.

Yes, ma'am.

See ya, buddy.

Goodnight, Mr. and Mrs. Parker.

- Good night, Dylan.

- Good night Alex.

Good night, buddy.

What? What?

What happened?

The monster's in my room.

- What monster?

- The monster from Dylan's story.

You're seeing

monsters again?

It was just a stupid story,

it's not real.

Can I sleep with you tonight?

Fine.

Just for tonight.

But... but don't keep me up,

all right?

I promise.

Good night.

Can I sleep with you?

Sure.

What?

Alex,

what are you doing?

You're gonna be

late for school.

Huh? What time is it?

It's 7:
34.

Oh, no!

Based on the sound

of the footsteps,

I can only hypothesize

that Mr. Parker has decided

to grace us

with his presence today.

Mr. Parker,

so nice of you to join us.

Hey, Mr. Phillips.

Good morning.

Look, I can explain, okay?

Shh, shh, shh! Shh!

Unless, your explanation

includes a section in which

I win an all-expense-paid

getaway to Tahiti,

I don't want to hear it.

- But sir, I mean...

- Shh!

Does your explanation

include me winning a vacation?

- No, sir.

- Have a seat.

Yes, sir.

Oh, Mr. Parker.

While you're up and about,

why don't you take these tests

and pass them out

to your classmates.

Ladies and gentlemen,

you have until the bell rings.

You may begin... now.

Hey!

Oh, um...

- Hey, Ashley.

- Are you okay?

You look really tired.

Me?

Um, yeah, yeah, I'm good.

Did you study for this test?

Uhh, I tried.

I know what'll help.

Here, have some ice cream.

Okay, uh, where'd you

get this from?

Mr. Phillips is serving it.

Who wants pistachio?

Micah.

That's weird.

- Can I ask you something?

- Yeah, sure.

Why haven't you ever

asked me to hang out?

Uh...

Well...

'Cause, I thought

you wouldn't...

Say yes?

Maybe you should try.

All right.

Ashley, would you

like to hang out...

More ice cream?

Uh... sure.

Ahhh. Time's up.

I said time's up.

Please bring your completed

papers to the front.

Hey, hey, um, Ashley...

Hey, what's up?

Um...

Um, I was wondering...

Hang on.

Looks like someone just

posted a picture of you sleeping.

What? Who?

Gordon Peters.

- Gordon Peters.

- Cute pic, though.

Eight-one likes already.

You're trending.

Did you need something?

Me? No, no.

Sorry, sorry.

Okay. I'll see you later.

Thank you.

Ashley.

Having a problem,

Mr. Parker?

No, no.

Well, yes.

I seemed to have fallen asleep

instead of taking my science test.

Yes, I know.

- You do?

- Yes.

You seemed so peaceful.

I didn't want to bother

a student that thought sleeping

was more important than

taking a big science test.

Is there any way I can

make it up during my lunch?

Yes.

I'll be here grading papers.

Don't be late.

Thank you, Mr. Phillips.

I'll see you at lunch.

Yes, I'm on the edge of my chair

with anticipation.

And, Mr. Parker...

If you do really

good on the test,

maybe I'll give you

some ice cream.

Did I talk in my sleep?

Oh, yeah.

All I have to do is just get

through today without falling asleep.

What are you doing?

- Dude, don't do that.

- I couldn't help it.

You were staring

at Ashley so much,

it was borderline creepy.

I wasn't staring at Ashley.

You were totally staring.

It was embarrassing.

Hey, ladies.

I was just... zoning out.

Whatever.

Hey, I found some old movies

I was gonna watch.

- What're you doing later?

- Don't you have detention, again?

Yeah, so, we'll do it after.

We'll see.

I'm kind of tired.

Hey, how'd you do

on that science test?

Oh, no, I gotta go!

Napkin?

Thank you.

Sorry, Mr. Phillips.

Sorry?

Sorry about what?

Being late.

No, no, no.

No need to apologize.

No need to apologize

about being late, yet again.

No, no, no. Actually,

you did me a big favor.

- I did?

- Yes, you did.

In that you did not

take the test,

I don't have to grade it.

All I have to do

is put a big, old, fat zero

right on there because that's the

amount of work you did on it, right?

But, Mr. Phillips...

Butts are for sitting.

Mr. Phillips, I'm begging you.

I would really like

to take this test.

I know you would.

But unfortunately, now I have

somewhere I have to be,

and unlike you,

I don't like to be late.

We'll talk about your grade later.

Have a nice day.

Oh, and by the way, Mr. Parker,

Wherever you happen

to be going, I'd hurry up,

otherwise you will

be late again.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

slow down.

- Gordon Peters.

- That's me.

Did I just catch you

running in the halls?

- I wasn't running...

- Looked like running to me.

And there's a no running policy

here at Murphy High.

But, I wasn't running.

Looks like I'm gonna

have to give you a demerit slip.

You're kidding, right?

Do I look like a comedian?

No. Just like someone who likes to

give me a hard time for no reason.

Are you talking back?

Disrespecting

the head hall monitor.

Running in the halls.
