Rolling.
Marker. Scene 38A-7, take two. BOY: Rolling, rolling. MAN: I mean, its all up to you. All right, Fernando. BOY ON COMPUTER: Marker. GIRL ON COMPUTER: Scene 38A-7, take 3. [Clack] DIFFERENT BOY ON COMPUTER: All right. Rolling, rolling. Action! [JET LANDING] NARRATOR: People think traveling is exciting. Its not. Hotels, meetings, TSA, nagging GPS voices in your head. WOMAN: You have reached your destination. My flight was canceled-- very exciting. So I decided to drive. With an opening in my schedule, I thought I would stop at the stream. I hadnt been here in 28 years. [Joan Jett and The Blackhearts "TMI" playing] I got your deets about your date night Date night I could still see those ridiculous knee socks and rainbow suspenders. This way! [Shouting] Were gonna get the flag before you do! The flag is gonna be mine. [Indistinct chatter] NARRATOR: Back then, I had sold my soul to George Lucas, but in the summer of 1981, what 12-year-old didnt worship "Star Wars"? Boys wanted to be Han Solo, girls wanted to be Princess Leia. Going somewhere, Wollerman? Straight through you Paxton. NARRATOR: Wollerman saw himself as Han Solo. Unh! However in real life, he was more like C-3PO. "Star Wars" was so popular, it became a religion, so much so that I was able to talk an entire neighborhood into overhauling their regular capture the flag game into--wait for it-- Wiffsaber! [Deep voice] Now I have the Rebellion at their heels. Got you now. Whoa! Ugh! Whoa! Whats up, bowl cut? Girl, go get the flag because Im having fried Wollerman. Unh! Ha ha ha! NARRATOR: Lorna was like a storm trooper in Lady Keds. Whos next? Out of my way, Booby. Oh! Son of a-- NARRATOR: Paxton was our Catholic school Jedi. Nobody calls me Booby. Bobby, my brother, a pint-sized Chewbacca. [Shouting] Get the flag! Aah! [Deep voice] The flag is mine. Your pitiful Rebellion will be squashed. NARRATOR: Im Ernest Terry, the one kid on the cul de sac who wanted to be Darth Vader. You struck the Dark Lord of the Sith. No. I struck you, the Dark Lord of the Sissy. I cant see. Stay still! Ha ha ha! Jawas have more force than you. Ha! Give in to your anger, give in to your hate. You have already lost. NARRATOR: I hated when Paxton would toy with me. Paxton was a year older than me and going to high school and twice the athlete. Come on. [Lightsaber whooshing sounds] [Crackling] Dont you know bad guys never win? Get back here, Rebel! Yah! Come and get me! Hit me! Death to the Rebellion! OK. Come on, Dork Vader! My brother! Sorry, Ernest. NARRATOR: Now I knew how Luke felt when he lost his hand. [Kids shouting] Sorry, man. BOY: Flags ours. See you Wednesday, Blow Pops. Hey! Thats my flag. Winner takes it home-- your rules. NARRATOR: He was right, and rules were never meant to be broken. You can have mine if you want. NARRATOR: No. My Wiffsaber had special powers. Nah, thats OK. I think we need a new strategy for Wednesday. I suggest working as a team. Yeah. WOLLERMAN: Team with you? Duh! Friends helping friends makes us stronger. Paxton and I dominated today. Give me 5 on black hand side, girl. NARRATOR: Spider-Man had his tingle, and Bobby had his freeze. Booby! When Bobby froze, you could be sure that something was wrong. Wyatt! BILLY SQUIER: You got me runnin, baby You give me something... NARRATOR: Wyatt Swooker was the kind of kid who gave Freddy Krueger nightmares... You put the magic... a master manipulator. Urban legend had it that the CIA once interviewed him about becoming an interrogator. [Gagging] Wyatt! NARRATOR: Wollerman had nerves of JELL-O. Dont vomit. NARRATOR: At an early age, he developed an incurable habit of vomiting whenever things got out of whack. ERNEST: Hollis. Hollis. NARRATOR: What a name. It had movie star written all over it. Hollis. Hollis was our baby-sitter and Wyatts girlfriend. Ow! Sorry. Thanks. I needed that. OK, boys. Franks and fries. Come on, Ernest! NARRATOR: There was no stopping Bobby when it came to his favorite meal of carbs and nitrites. Come to think of it, I loved it, too! And, oh I can never doubt you For too long Can you hand me a tool? Turn it on now. Ssstt! Shhhhooo! How about duct tape? [Echoing] How about duct tape? I know! Duct tape! You know, youre not in the army anymore. We cant just pick up and move. You know how shy Ernest is. I mean, hes just now made friends, and, oh, now that means he wont graduate with them next year. Honey. Hey, pal. Oh, hey. What is it, honey? Just wanted some duct tape. Yes. Just under the sink. Hey, Biggie. Look at this. Whoa! Yeah. Its digital. Takes a licking... Keeps on ticking. Glenn, we cant keep doing this to the boys. I know, honey, I know, but its a great opportunity. What do you want me to do? Look. Its the last time, I promise, and were gonna love San Diego. [Thud] NARRATOR: Great! A broken Wiffsaber, and now we were moving again. My 12-year-old life was so messed up. I heard a new World Sports opened up at the Granite Run Mall. You could buy a new saber there. I fixed my saber. Looks like a turd. We could walk it. Just follow the stream. Too far. The Takawana! No! NARRATOR: The Northwest has sasquatch, the Midwest Bigfoot. Thats bull. We had the Takawana. WOLLERMAN: Anyway, the shows late. NARRATOR: While some kids raced home to watch "Speed Racer" or "The Gong Show"... Th-there she is! And only a minute off sched. I love a punctual fox. NARRATOR: Wollerman had the Hollis Show. Dude! Ow! Dude, whats bugging you? Nothing. Wollerman, dont even think about it, and put those binoculars away before I tell your mom, pervert! I need a favor. Coming right away. Not you, pervert. Ernest. NARRATOR: Me? Hollis wanted to talk to me? That close. Uh...hi, Hollis. Ernest, hi. Wow! You got bigger. Thanks. I mean... [Deep voice] Thanks, foxy mama. NARRATOR: Did I really say, "foxy mama"? I cant reach my back. Im not gonna bite. Oh, my God! I have never been more jealous of a bottle of suntan lotion than right now. Lay a finger on them, and Ernest will be an only child. Sorry. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Run! Well, well, well. What do we have here? Wyatt, leave him alone. Hes just a kid. I know youre relatively new to the neighborhood, but I thought you were aware of the Wyatt rules. Im just a kid. Ernest, I think you and I should spend spend some quality one-on-one time together so I can reacquaint you with the Wyatt rules... and I can promise you there will be a test. Dont make me hurt you. Oh! Run! Your lunch money. OK. Julius! Ugh! Squirrel! NARRATOR: Wyatts rainbow coalition of henchmen. Could this get any worse? Rufus! NARRATOR: In a word, yep. Rufus--Wyatts killer dog. He left bite marks in every mailman in Bucks County. [Rufus growls] [Rufus panting] [Rufus barking] [Barking] [Sighs] Sorry I didnt knock. [Sniffs] Coconut? MRS. TERRY: Its dark in here. Wait! What has gotten into you? You said the sun fades the couches, remember? Well, yeah, true, but its cloudy. NARRATOR: The only way to put the universe back in balance was to get a new Wiffsaber. Can you take me to buy another Wiffle Ball bat? Chris said theres a new Wide World of Sports down at the Granite Run Mall. What happened to your bat? NARRATOR: Mom was not a Wiffsaber fan. Dont tell me it broke while you were playing that game I specifically asked you not to play. Youll get hurt. No. The garage door fell on it. Well, I asked your father to fix the door. Look. Maybe I can take you tomorrow, OK? Alice called in sick, and they want me to fill in at the office. Ill tell you what. I taped a list of your chores to the fridge, and if you get them done before I get home, then maybe, just maybe I will take you to the Wide World of Sports, OK? Oh! And add cleaning the grill to your list because the Swookers are coming over if it doesnt shower. NARRATOR: The Swookers?! Wyatts tribe?! This was like having hors doeuvres on the Death Star. I had to get my Wiffsaber now. I had always sworn never to open the Dark Lords head unless it was an emergency. This was an emergency. Where you going? None of your beeswax. Whats this? A list of chores. Mom wants them done before she gets home. Start with the grill. Hey! Im too young to play with fire. NARRATOR: With Mom gone for 4 hours, I would need to keep a hawk eye on the time. What better way than with Dads new digital watch? Yeah, I felt a little guilty, but they still hadnt told us that we were moving. He owed me. Hello? Aah! Were going to the Wide World of Sports on foot today. OK. I thought Wifflesaber was tomorrow. I need an new Wifflesaber from the Wide World of Sports today. We just came from the mall. My mom wants me to try on my new school dresses. But were on a mission. What kind of mission? Clear. We have 2 1/2 hours left, no more, no less. A hour there, 30 minutes in the store, and an hour back, no detours. [Sighs] I thought I told you to stay at home. Take me with you, or else Im telling Mom and Dad. NARRATOR: Besides Bobbys crack alarm system, did I mention that Bobby possessed another talent. [Loud, reverberating] Take me with you, Ernest Terry! Oh, my gosh! Shut him up! Ill even tell Wyatt where you are. I will. I swear I will. OK, OK. You can come. Just shut up! For real? Im not responsible for you, you understand? So if the Takawana gets you, youre on your own. The Takawana? Move out! [Laughing] Well, looks like its dork hunting season, right, Rufus? [Barking] NARRATOR: The woods looked so magical, mysterious, endless. It was right in my backyard, but it seemed like an entirely new world. I felt like we were really going on an adventure like knights in search of the Holy Grail. I got to pee. Can you come with me? No. Wait till we get there. But the Takawana! NARRATOR: Somewhere on the other side was the Wide World of Sports, and I could feel my Wiffsaber calling out to me. Is this the tunnel? Duh. Its a bridge. Hello? Hello! [Echoing] I saw him dancing there By the record machine Thats cool. Heh. I knew he must have been about 17 The beat was going strong LORNA: And he was playing my favorite so-o-ong And I could tell it wouldnt be long Till he was with me, yeah, me And I could tell it wouldnt be long Till he was with me, yeah, me, singin I love rock n roll So put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n roll So come and take your time and dance with me Everything OK?

What about Wildwood? OK. And Cape May. Remember when we moved from Alabama to North Carolina? NARRATOR: Moving? Yeah? What about it? Nothing. Just thinking. We havent moved in a while. NARRATOR: Enough about moving! Lets get going. [Hocking] [Spits] Eww. Youre so gross. [Spits] Well, Chewie, which way now? Um, ahem. Were gonna go that way. Im starving. Who brought food? Wait. None of you brought food? I dont see you offering up any juice and graham crackers. Yeah? Well, how about a permanent nap time? Lorna, its only 3 hours. 3 hours?! Im a growing girl. Do you know how much I can put away in 3 hours? LORNA: Hey! Hey, Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! Its gonna get really ugly really fast. Dont run. Were gonna be there soon. Here. Mmm. [Errrrp] Does your grossness know no bounds? [Burping] Apparently not. [Errrrp] [Errrrrrrrrrp] NARRATOR: Uh-oh! Bobbys freeze. Not good! Bobby? Come on guys, everybody up, everybody up. Come on, come on. [Whispers] Stay down. What are you doing? Trust me. Which way do you think they went? WYATT: It doesnt matter. Either way, well find them, and when we do...bam! NARRATOR: I knew all those hours of watching "Mr. Wizard" would pay off. Oh! Oh! Do you hear something? Hey! Ohh! Ohh! Ohh! My eyes! I cant see! Ooh! Ooh! Youre dead, Terry! Hurry up! Why is Wyatt after you? Not important. Ill tell you later, I promise. Just come with me. Die, you chumps. Ohh! My nose! Ohh! I never saw you shake like that. I dont like dogs, OK? OK.

The tunnel should be right up here. It better be, or you dont want to know what Im gonna do with this Wifflesaber. PAXTON: I love it here. My parents used to always take me here when I was a kid. Wed cross by every time we went hiking. Youve lived here your whole life? All failing 13. WOLLERMAN: Whats it like always moving around? Were not moving. NARRATOR: Why does moving keep coming up? I meant before, dipstick. Dont curse. Its a sin. Oh. Im sorry, Sister Paxton. ERNEST: Its not so bad. You get to see different places, make new friends. PAXTON: Do you have lots of friends? Oh, yeah! Weve lived in so many places, I bet I have more friends than all of you put together. NARRATOR: Of course, I didnt. LORNA: Yeah? Name them. Theres Pete. BOBBY: Pete who? Pete, uh--Pete-- Pete something or other from Raleigh. You know him, Bobby. No, I dont. Theres Joe whats his name. LORNA: Whats his name? Joe. WOLLERMAN: Just Joe? Yeah, just Joe. He thought he sounded cooler with just one name like Greedo. LORNA: Why do you relate everything to that stupid movie? NARRATOR: Blasphemer! PAXTON: At least you guys are gonna be around long enough to get to know our last names. ERNEST: Yeah. NARRATOR: I wish. Oh, come on, lard asses. Dont curse. So you never told me. What? Why is Wyatt after you? And dont lie. Its a sin. NARRATOR: The hell was going to welcome me with open arms and pitchforks. Yeah, Ernest. Id like to know why Im running for my life. [Giggles] You know? No, I dont. Yes, you do. Tell me. Scouts honor, I dont. Youre not a scout. Wyatts mad because Ernest was gonna kiss Hollis. Right. Thats the funniest thing Ive heard all day. Is it true? No. Hollis was sitting by her pool, and she asked me to rub lotion on her back. It never even came up. What was she wearing? NARRATOR: I pled the fifth. I dont remember. WOLLERMAN: A bikini. How do you know? Uh... You want to kiss her? NARRATOR: I swear Paxton could use the Jedi mind trick. I dont know. No, wait! Uh... Where are we? Youre lost Wollerman. [Echoing] Youre lost Wollerman. I am lost. NARRATOR: See what I mean? Jedi mind trick. No. Uh, no, no. We just have to go through the garden, then the tunnel. Yeah. Follow me. The lair of the Takawana. Its just the lair of the Takawana. The Takawana. NARRATOR: The Takawana was Bobbys Kryptonite. It was his superhero weakness. Hey. Are we lost? No. No way. Because we have, like, 2 1/2 hours left. We should just go back, retrace our steps. No! I know where Im going. The Takawana? Yeah. Definitely. Obviously. Takawana. Hes covered in stinky, steel-like hair from head to toe. Are its feet big? Ha! One toe will crush you! That is, if, um, if his toxic toe jam doesnt immerse you first. Toxic toe jam? And, um...musk, musk like a fire hose spurts from his armpits. M-m-musk? Mm-hmm. PAXTON: Ive definitely seen these flowers before. How long have we been here? 10 minutes. Oh, thats great. OK. First of all, we are in a garden. There are flowers everywhere! Second of all, let me see your watch. Thanks. I was right. 8 Minutes. No. 10. See? We got-- It only counts when were in the garden, not when were going up the hill. That doesnt make any sense! BOBBY: Is it true that he lives in a cloud of smoke? Butt smoke! One sniff, and you cant stop puking. Is that what happens to you, Wollerman? Nice, Booby. Real nice. But I didnt mean it mean. PAXTON: We are lost. We should just go back. We dont know where we are, so which way is back? Man, cant you guys just trust me for once? I know where Im going, OK? Raawr! Aah! Im the Takawana. Im gonna eat you! The Takawana is bull! How do you not get that? Its bull! ERNEST: Whats wrong with you? WOLLERMAN: If I told you once, I told you a thousand times. Theres no Takawana, OK? So get it out of your heads! Its all bull! Oh, my God. The Takawanas real! Oh, my God! There really is a Takawana! ERNEST: Go, go, go, go! [Puking] BOBBY: every little man for himself! Aah! Run! NARRATOR: I couldnt believe the Takawana was real. Although he didnt seem to be all that hairy. See? I told you I knew where I was going. Time to turn around. Is this the only way? Im with you, sister. The Takawana is the other way. Ill take my chances. Wait, Lorna. Were so close. I got to pee. Go find a tree. Were wasting time. If this is the only way I can get my Wiffle bat, then Im going. Fine. Oh, Eww. Bobby! In how many languages do I have to say no? No, nein, ne, na, ma. Wait, wait, wait. Did you just say no in Mayan? [Growling] Aah! [Barking] [All screaming] They must have gone in there. You think? Come on, Rufus. Rufus, come on. Rufus must be stuck or something. Ohh! What the heck? Its dark in there. No, really? Thats why I cant see anything. Rufus, come on. Rufus. Come on, Rufus. [Whining] Rufus. Rufus, come on. Get up! Rufus! How much further? Miles and miles. Really. Wait. Hear that? The end of the tunnel? Its Devils Jump. Come on. Lets go. Get in there now, you two! Im not going in there. Julius, go show him up. You go in there. No. Whats the matter? You two forget to change your diapers? You want to get them just as bad as we do. NARRATOR: Devils Jump, a treacherous part of the stream, but so close to the mall, you could smell the fumes from the parking lot. JULIUS: Its--its dark in there. SQUIRREL: Yeah, exactly. Youre the one whos scared. Rufus, come on, boy. [Whistles] [Americas "You Can Do Magic" playing] Hey. Sorry about your backpack. Its OK. To make it up to you, when we get to the Wide World of Sports, Ill buy you a pack of Twists. NARRATOR: Twists had a way of solving all the worlds problems. So would you have? ERNEST: Would I have what? Kissed Hollis? NARRATOR: At least most of them. Do you think shes pretty? I dont know. You said shes a fox. Are my glasses ugly? I dont... No. Theyre pretty. AMERICA: You can have anything That you desire My mom says I can get contacts for high school. Are you nervous about high school? Not really. I mean, we all have to move on sometime. Besides, youll be there next year, right? Do do do do do WOLLERMAN: I told you I knew where I was going. Oh. Hey. Just pardon me. Ohh! Youre the one who can put out the fire Do do do do do Do do do do do Youre the one who can... NARRATOR: There it was, Granite Run Mall, and inside, the Wide World of Sports. I felt like Indiana Jones about to open the Ark. Whoa! I told you. Lets fan out. NARRATOR: Where are you, my connection to the dark side of the Force, made in Hong Kong? Join the dark side. Aah! Unh! [Gasping] [Lightsaber ignites] NARRATOR: I had it, my Holy Grail, my Excalibur, my lightsaber! MAN: Next. Next. You promised. Careful. Thats my Wiffsaber. Looks like a bat to me. Not if youre the Dark Lord. OK. That will be 2.90, your darkness. Coming right up, fleshling. Oh, no. No. No! What is it, Ernest? Its my backpack! WOLLERMAN: You threw away your-- LORNA: Your backpack. You cant pay for a bat with junk food. We came all this way. CASHIER: Can I get a manager up to the register, please? Yes! [Thunder] Why dont you just get your mom to buy it for you? NARRATOR: I had a better shot at making friends with Wyatt. Ernest! Youre alive. Why wouldnt I be? Maybe because of Wyatt and his friends. Ugh! Ow! Me and Wyatt, we worked it out. Cool. WOMAN: Ernest, Chris, are your mothers around? Yes. No. Better find your mother, Ernest. Its supposed to pour. Come on Hollis Bye, Ernest. LORNA: What now, Dork Vader? Go back to the woods and look for my backpack. OK. These are new shoes, Ive already been through the woods once today, and its starting to rain. Then we better go. But you dont need the money. Paxton bought your bat. She wanted to surprise you. See? She bought this for me? Uh-huh. Where is she? Um... Paxton? Paxton! Paxton! WYATT: I know how you feel. First he takes Hollis away from me, and then after all youve been through together, he leaves you here all alone. OTHERS: Paxton! Paxton! Oh, Paxton, huh? Paxton! Wheres Paxton? Paxton! JULIUS: Yeah. Shes with Wyatt. Yeah. Sad. See you later, tulip. Heh. Come on. NARRATOR: Paxton was tough, but could she survive a kidnapping at Wyatts hands? So Wyatt has her. What do we do now? We got to save her. OK. These are new shoes. What? Its gonna rain. We dont know which way they went. Then well ask. OK. [Thunder] SQUIRREL: "Its not gonna rain." Its not gonna rain? What do you call this? Its raining! Its raining! You said its not gonna rain! If you dont shut up, youre gonna know what it feels like to crap my fist. What are you stopping--oh. A Twist. Cool! Heh heh. A path of Twists! Nice! You just ate that off my boot! Thats so gross. NARRATOR: Squirrel had eaten his way into our trap. Where did Wyatt take Paxton? And with the rain pounding down... I aint telling you nothing, raccoon turd. we had to get to the truth. Aah! Ohh! Stop. Squirrel, Im gonna present you with a makeup test. Where did Wyatt take Paxton? I dont know. I swear. He never tells me nothing! Aah! Ill tell you! Just get monkey boy off me. [Coughing] Ernest? Bobby? They said this way. Then what? NARRATOR: This hero stuff was hard to grow into. I had to think like a Jedi. We save Paxton. Yeah, I got that part, but how? NARRATOR: The storm was getting out of control, but we had to find a way to cross the stream to get Paxton. Its just thunder, right, Wollerman? Yeah, its just thunder. Im sorry. You owe me new shoes. They cant be that far ahead. Oh, you have radar? No. They just cant be that far ahead in this. NARRATOR: Ugh! Where was GPS when you needed it? Im scared. Im scared, too, but we have to save Paxton, OK? OK. [Thunder] MRS. TERRY: Ernest? Bobby? [Thunder] I am so c-c-cold. Aah! Unh! Ohh! Crap. Lets go on. We should go home. I love rock n roll Put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n roll So come and take and chance And dance with me NARRATOR: In all the times Bobby and I had moved, this was the first time I had experienced this-- real friendship. Ahead there was a fallen tree we could cross. There was no vomiting this time, no smart alecky jabs from Lorna. We were terrified. We knew we had to get to safety. Lorna! What? You got any more stories? No, but I got jokes. You want to hear a joke, Bobby? Yeah. Um, what did the Teddy bear say after he ate? I dont know. Im stuffed! Something funny would be useful. Just hurry up! Who was the best dancer at the monster party? I dont know! The "Boogie" Man! Ha ha ha! Aah! Ohh! Im falling! Help! The waves are higher over there. Just go faster. [Thunder] Go, Bobby, go. Grab my hand! Thanks! Lets go. Help! Help! Why are you guys following us? Were not following you, Dork Vader. Were just trying to go home! Yeah! Were lost. I help you? Forget it! Please. Come on! NARRATOR: Its not like I liked these guys, but I couldnt just leave them there. sometimes even the Dark Lord has to do the right thing. Ernest, where are you going? Ernest! Ernest! Ernest, no! ERNEST: Come on. Grab my saber. I cant! Come on. Grab it. Its too far. Aah! Ohh! Ohh! I cant swim! Come on, man. Get up. Work with us. Come on! Lets go. Follow the hill, go up the ridge, and the road home should be there. Trust Wollerman. He knows where hes going. Come on. Rufus! Shh! Hes sleeping. That goes for you guys, too, OK? Come on. NARRATOR: No! It couldnt be true! Paxton could not be with Wyatt! LORNA: Wow! Who knew? I guess good girls really do like bad boys. BOBBY: Lets find a pay phone and call mom. Come on, buddy. Its over. NARRATOR: What about the tunnel and the Takawana and the flood? Was all of that meaningless? Wyatt and Paxton! If I hadnt seen it with my own eyes, I never would have believed it. It was then that I realized I could never be as cunning or as evil as Wyatt. As I was sitting there, I realized my wrist was bare. I had lost my dads digital watch! I really was Dork Vader! I had lost my bank, I had lost my dads new watch, and I had lost the most important thing-- Paxton. You two could have been killed. What does it matter? Were moving anyway. Who cares? What?! Listen. Well talk about this when we get home. In the car. BOBBY: You knew we were moving, but you didnt say anything to me? I can never trust you again. Bobby. [Knock on door] Is it save to come into the cantina? Im sorry I took your watch, and Im sorry I lost it. Im sorry I scared you. I know we could have gotten hurt. I know I shouldnt have took Bobby in the woods. Im sorry. Ill do whatever it takes to repay you for the watch. Just please dont shoot me. Hey. Hey. Im not gonna shoot you. I actually came up here to apologize to you guys. You did? You did? I did. I should have talked to you about this move sooner. Does that mean were not-- No, buddy. We have to, and I know you dont want to go, and I know how hard it is to start at a new school and get used to a new house, but I also know you guys arent babies anymore, right? Youre men, and you know what men do when times get tough? We get tougher. Aw, come on, Bobby. Dont pick your nose. Thats gross. What about my friends? Paxton hates you. Well, uh, you know, do you remember how hard it was for Han and Leia when they were flying around during "Empire Strikes Back"? Thats kind of what life is like, guys. Theres a lot of bends and turns and asteroids that we land on and try not to let eat us, but just like they reunited with Luke, your friends will always be your friends. Now I know this stinks. I also know youre gonna be all right. I promise. Does that mean were not grounded? Are you kidding me? You two could have been killed today, and you took my watch without permission. You are absolutely grounded. [Sighs] All right. Listen. I cant make any guarantees, but I will talk to your mother and see if I can get the sentence reduced, OK? Good night, Jedis.
