Everybody’s running and the world it get so crazy
People work so hard,
There's no time to be lazy.
The weekend comes.
I'm down with that.
Grab your ball.
Grab your bat.
Head to the beach
Grab some rays.
Better hurry up, just got two days
Playing games, hanging out
Playing games, hanging out
Roller coaster, there’s no doubt go to the mall, lot of fun
Pizza run!
It's time for all of us to bring it on out, haha!
That is what the weekend's all about SHOUT!
Best buds, hanging strong, best friends can do no wrong,
Just two days, we need more, video games I'll beat your score,
Watch cartoons on TV, drink that frosty Chuggafreeze,
That's what we like to do, c'mon y'all, I'm talkin' to you!
Haha!
Oh-oh!
I'm a livin' for the weekend,
I'm a livin' for the weekend. HEY!
Okay, check it out.
This is a big weekend.
Not only is the new
nocturnal exhibit opening at the
zoo, but Sunday is the Skate-a-Bration Extreme Board Fest.
Seriously, the cool phone is ringing off
the hook.
Man, this Skate-a-Bration is
going to be the best ever.
My man, Couch Liker(?) is going to do a 900!
Nothing,
I mean nothing can keep me from goin'.
I don't even like skateboarding
and I'm excited about this thing.
You know, I think it's the radio ads.
Skate-a-Bration, Skate-a-Bration,
Sunday, Sunday, be there, be there.
Lor, aren't you excited?
You love that Couch Likah guy.
Yeah, but well, I had that
pre-test today in, US history?
I choked bad.
Bad or bad bad?
Bad, bad, bad.
I didn't know what country the Civil War
was in.
Lor, it was a US history test.
I said it was bad, bad, bad.
The actual test is on Monday.
And my dad says if I blow one more test,
he's sending me to military school.
This one test could like totally ruin my
whole life.
If only I had some help studying.
Okay, you see what's going on here?
Lor's about to ask us for help,
but this is a big weekend.
I mean, hello.
Skate-a-Bration extreme board fest?
No way can we miss that.
But if Lor asks us
for help directly, we
can't say no, because
we're her friends, right?
So the trick is to escape before she asks.
This maneuver is known as the friend slip.
Yeah, it'd be nice to have a little help
with my mom's experience.
Look at the time.
That's okay.
My brothers will help me study.
Okay, guys.
So this test is on the Civil War.
And so, Bylon, Lor!
Hey guys, Lor's on the phone.
Hey, Lor, how's it going?
She asked you directly.
But it'll take the whole weekend.
Skate-a-Bration.
Come ooon.
She's your friend.
You have to help her.
You know that.
Ohh, Mommm..
Okay, okay.
You remember that dinner I made?
The compressed fish flakes
with the yeast sauce?
Hey, you could be eating that every night
for a year.
Ugh, fate worse than death..
Okay, you want to study at your place?
Your place might be better.
Thanks for helping me study, guys.
I'm sorry I had to ruin your whole weekend.
Hey, we don't mind too much..
Do we, guys?
We?
We-elll, I just figured that..
Have you been threatened
with compressed fish flakes?
Not I.
Me neither.
So I guess it's not so much
a "we" thing as a "Tino" thing.
Ohh, a well executed, revised version of
the friend slip.
I guess there's no reason we
should all waste the weekend.
Glad you understand. / Later days!
One more time:
When did Thomas J. Jackson,
earn the name, "Stonewall"?
Um.. when he built the
underground railroad?
At the first battle of Bull Run.
sighs It's hopeless.
All this civil war stuff is less interesting
to me than the air in front of my face.
You know what your problem is?
No self-confidence.
I want you to repeat after me:
"I am wise like an owl."
"I am clever like a fox."
I am
out like a light.
You're coming in too low.. !
Pull up.
Pull uuuup!
AHHHH~!!!
crashing noises
All right then
Now, since we are temporarily
without two members of
our group, I figure we'll
get some temporary friends.
Well, okay.
How?
Thanks for coming in today.
So tell us:
Why do you think you'd make
a good temporary friend?
Uhhh, I could bite through a tennis ball.
You know, how sometimes there's like
cookies, or something, waayyy on a top shelf?
That's when I shine.
Oh, geez.
I don't know.
Because I'm friendly, and
I'm good at countin' stuff.
You have five buttons!
cackles creepily I like pointy things~
If a tree falls in the
forest and no one is
there to hear it, what's
your favorite animal?
Ah, a pit bull.
No, two pit bulls!
Okay.
It's a giraffe.
But not for the reason you're thinking.
Um, unless you're thinking
it's because I'm really tall.
Cuz, uh, yeah, that is why! giggles
Golly.
I guess cows are my favorite.
Because that's where we
get beef, and milk, and eggs.
cackles creepily I like pointy things.
Yeah.
Do you prefer Shostakovich or Schoenberg?
I like pointy things.
Um.
Well..
clears throat / We'll let you know.
Yeah.
So that Civil War website
is pretty cool, huh?
Yeah.
Civil.
Pretty cool.
Wow.
It sounds like a great site.
Yeah.
Civil.
Pretty cool.
Hey.
That's not a Civil War website at all.
You're playing a game.
Busy now.
Gonna win.
I, I thought you didn't know
anything about the web.
No!
But it only took you like five minutes to figure out
how to play Galactic Combat 4
against some kid in Okinawa!
Scooree~!
Lor, don't you get it?
When you're interested in
something, you're a genius!
You're not too stupid for history.
You're just, too bored!
Wow..
You cracked me open and figured
out what makes me tick.. !
Cut it out.
Um, mom, Lor's coming back tomorrow.
And I don't know how to make
the Civil War interesting to her.
Any ideas?
We-ell, I do have this docu-
mentary you could show her.
Cool.
Visual aids rock.
I should warn you: hour seven
is not quite as exciting as hour six.
Okay.
Slight drawback to the Nocturnal Exhibit:
you can't see anything.
I count forty-seven eyes.
Forty-eight.
Forty-seven.
Forty-eight!
Oh, fantastic.
One of the fat-tailed lemurs
must be winking at us!
Hey, what's over there?
Fat-tailed lemurs.
Cool.
Okay, the cool kids almost saw us
with the biggest geeks of all time.
I guess you can't really replace your
friends.
Yeah, well, it was worth a try.
But now I say we ditch 'em.
Yeah, gee, we don't wanna be
your friends anymore, y'know?
We're going to be each other's friends.
Your earlobe has nine hairs.
creepy giggle
Read' to go?
It's only a few hours till the Skate-a-Bration,
and I want to practice the Wave.
Like this.
Um, Carver. I just talked to Lor.
And they studied way late
last night, and they got nowhere.
Hang on, here it comes again~
I just don't feel like
we're being very good
friends to Lor, so
I'm gonna go help her.
Nooo~!
You can't abandon me in my time of need!
Your time of need?! Lor's the one who
might get sent to military school!
But, but, Skate-a-Bration!
"Sunday, Sunday, be there!"
Sorry, Carver, you're gon'
have to go by yourself.
Oh, will I?
So tell us, what do you think is your
biggest weakness as a temporary friend?
I would say I give too much.
Okay, so Tish is helping me now.
But it's harder than I thought
to make the Civil War interesting.
Observe.
clears throat
President Abraham Lincoln, I, Winfield
Scott, am too old to command a union army.
Guys, all this is doing is making
me really hate socks.
A lot.
Let's try another tactic.
Aversion training.
Whenever you get an answer wrong,
I'll make that sound you hate.
screeches
Quit it.
What did Sherman give to Lincoln for
Christmas in 1864?
Pie?
screeches again
Quit it!
Nooo!
Atlanta?
He gave him a city?
Yes!
How did he wrap it?
screeches
Quit it!
I didn't get an answer wrong.
That was for being a wise guy.
Concentrate!
Hey, what happened to
the kid I'm replacin'?
Outta town?
Measles?
Juvie?
Nah, we booted him out of the group.
Why?
He never helped us when we needed it.
He only cared about himself.
What kind of a friend is that?
Close to home.
Man, her brain is like totally shut down.
I think it's a mechanism
evolved by her Scottish
ancestors to protect
them from bagpipe music.
Is it official?
Am I a lost cause?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, it isn't totally
you could say Yes.
Yes.
I think, we have to admit defeat.
I am so coming to the rescue here.
A computer game?
Nuh nuh nuh.
Not just any computer game.
A Civil War computer game.
Did the Confederates have trains?
You could check in the textbook.
Well, it's not in here!
I need to know for strategy, guys.
Come on!
Somebody get me more books.
I'm losing points here.. !
All right, Carv'.. !
Looks like you saved the day.
Where did you get the money for the game,
anyway?
Swapped the store guy my Skate-a-Bration ticket for it.
You missed Skate-a-Bration?
Ohhh, no big deal.
Anything to help a friend.
I'll catch it next year.
It's eatin' you alive, isn't it?
Oh, yeaahh.
Way to go, man.
Well, there you are.
I think Lor is gonna do just
fine on that test tomorrow.
And do I feel like I wasted two days?
Of course not.
It was more like, two and a half.. ?
Ah, well, later days!
Everybody’s running and the world it get so crazy
People work so hard,
There's no time to be lazy.
