(Bell ringing)

Man, do I love Fridays.

Word up.

If I hear one more bell ring,

I’m gonna go ballistic, yo.

(Air horn blaring)

(Screaming)

Hey guys, cool siren, huh?

It’s gonna be a hit at the big

deforestation protest Sunday.

My dad and I are chaining

ourselves to a tree.

I can’t wait.

(Cheering)

Sounds neat.

What about you, Q?

Planning to chain yourself to

anything this weekend?

Nah, my dad and I are just

gonna hang out.

We both joined a beginner’s

karate class.

(Making karate sounds)

(Giggling)

What?

So, both of you guys are

hanging out with your dads this

weekend?

Sure, why not?

A little quality time with Dad

never hurt anyone.

Quality time?

That’s so overrated!

I mean, who needs time with your

dad when you have a good memory

and some photo albums, right?

Right?

Are you saying that you and

your dad never just...hang out

together?

No, no, no.

That’s not what I’m saying at

all.

We do tons of stuff together.

Why, just last week--

No, that was Skunk.

Well, there was that time that

we--

No, that never happened.

Wait!

(Feedback screeching)

Skunk, can you please tell me

what is up with these rotten

speakers?

Oh, what’s the problem mate?

What’s the problem?

When I asked for feedback, I

want feedback!

I can hardly hear this at all!

It sounds like a mouse burping

under a pile of pillows!

Get me more feedback, dude!

All right, all right.

No need to blow a gasket,

guv’nor.

(Strings plucking)

Here, I’ll put it through your

headphones.

Try it now.

Oh, now that’s good feedback.

Dad?

I was having this really

interesting conversation with

Alyssa and Quincy today.

Well, turns out they spend a lot

of time just hanging with their

dads.

Well, I was thinking about it,

and we never spend any time

together.

So, what do you think, Dad?

Maybe we can hang together

sometime.

Oh, yeah.

Excellent!

Great, well, I’ve got a

couple ideas--

That was perfect, Skunk!

I can’t feel my fifth vertebrae!

Huh?

Hey, Willy!

Wanna hear some ripping, raw

noise?

Dad!

You didn’t hear a word I said.

That’s just typical!

I was saying that we never spend

a second of quality time

together.

What?

No, that can’t be right.

Hey, what about all those great

Christmas memories we have?

(Sleigh bells jingling)

Oh, hi there.

And welcome to our home.

We love to spend the holidays

together, and now you can spend

the holidays with us too!

With my new Christmas disc,

you’ll wonder why you asked for

anything else.

If you don’t believe me, just

ask my son.

What do you say, Willy?

Hold it right there.

That was for a commercial you

shot!

And the director had me

replaced, remember?!

Willy, this seems like a very

important matter to you, so

let’s have a real

man-to-man-chat kinda thing.

(Doorbell ringing)

Ooh, baby!

My package from reptile of the

month club!

Hey, Rock Zilla!

Wanna buy a chocolate from me

and my dad?

You?

And your dad?

Selling chocolates?

That’s the sweetest thing I’ve

ever heard.

You’re really tugging on the old

Zilla heart strings, here.

Give me all you’ve got.

Uh, we don’t take credit

cards.

Huh?

Well, good luck then.

Oh, I never helped Willy sell

chocolates door-to-door.

(Phone ringing)

Zilla residence.

Skunk baby, is that you?

Well, gor blimey.

If it isn’t Artie, me ol’ mate.

Ain’t you managing that boy band

now?

Oh, please, Skunk.

They prefer to be called a male

singing ensemble.

Their name: Pubescence.

They have the highest girl

fainting percentage of all the

teen heartthrobs.

And they need a roadie!

Mate, uh-- yeah-- that’s

brilliant, but Rock would fall

apart the second I left.

Then you’d have an 8-foot

green-haired maniac on the

loose and I can’t be blamed for

that again.

Skunk, bubbie!

Rock doesn’t need you.

He’s not even on tour.

I’m sorry, mate.

Tour or no tour, my loyalties

are with the Zillas.

Right, like I’d ever work for a

sissy boy band.

I bet they don’t even wear

makeup.

(Sighing)



Hey, hey.

Why so glum?

Come on and up a bowl of chum.

Nah, I think Rock’s gonna

walk.

I’m a little depressed.

Well, a walk is so much more

classy-like when you’re in a

limo.

I need some serious "me" time

here.

There, there.

I’ll let you stick your head out

of the sunroof.

(Cell phone ringing)

Skunk, don’t hang up!

Look, I’ll give you a private

dressing room.

A private van!

A baseball hat with the band’s

logo on it!

Come on, I can’t go any higher

than that!

No, I told you once, now

leave off, chum.

I’ve got important business to

attend to here.

Shall I go through the carwash?

No wax.

(Giggling)

(Sighing)

Hey, kiddo.

Willy, I’ve been thinking.

The truth is, we don’t spend

much time together ’cause we

just don’t have much in common.

Make that nothing in common.

Well, hey.

At least we have our mutual love

of music, right?

(Smooth jazz playing)

(Groaning)

Make the bad music stop!

Oh, right.

Well, we can’t just give up.

Well, maybe we can come up

with a list of things that we

both like to do, and then do

them.

I mean, there’s gotta be

something.

ROCK: All right!

Hey, I got one!

You like goat boxing, right?

(Bleating)

(Chuckling)

Oh, gag me.

What a display!

Even I don’t suck up to Dad that

much.

How much cash are you begging

for?

None.

Ew, I can’t imagine anything

more barf-inducing than actually

spending time with a parent!

Oh, look.

I just got two gift certificates

to that new spa in the mall.

Serenity, do you wanna go with

me?

Come on, Mom.

Here’s your keys, got your card?

Who wants homemade cookies?

Huh?

Alone again.

(Phone ringing)

Skunk, bubbie!

All right, Artie.

You win.

I’ll take the gig.

So it’s decided.

We’ll do an activity from my

list first, and then one from

yours.

Right, what’s first?

Cheese?

Whoa!

What is it, a giant cheese ball?

A cheese museum?

A museum made from cheese!

Dad, that’s not cheese.

It’s chess.

You know, the ancient game of

strategy and intrigue?

Yeah, yeah.

That-- that sounds great.

Okay, king me!

No, Dad.

That’s checkers.

Now I know what they call

this a board game.

I’m totally bored!

(Squishing)

See, Willy?

Don’t you just love it?

Well, don’t hate it.

(Grunting)

Okay, now I hate it.

As you can see, Skunk, we use

only the most modern equipment

there is.

This stuff can do anything!

Hey, here are the boys.

And now you get a chance to

watch this multi-million dollar

studio in action.



(Off tune singing)

♪ Ooh, baby

♪ It’s not brain surgery ♪

♪ And even though you’ll get

kicked out... ♪

Yeah, yeah.

They stink!

But no one ever needs to know,

Skunky baby.

♪Please do my math homework

for me♪

That’s their biggest hit.

Skunk, I’d like you to meet

Pubescence.

This is Rick, Mick, TCB, Jalayo

and Irv.

So, mates, I’ll get the limo

gassed up and ready to go for a

wild night of party crashing.

Yo, as dope as that sounds,

Mr. Skunk, me and my fly homies

gots to be in bed by 9:30.

Otherwise, our pimples come

back with a vengeance.

But here’s how Pubescence shows

their thanks, Mr. Skunk.

Come on, guys.

1, 2...a 1, 2, 3!

♪Baby, it’s not brain surgery♪

♪And even though you’ll get

kicked out of school♪

(Audience chattering)

Ah-whoo!

Oh, yeah!

Rock on!

(Audience booing)

This is the lamest concert I’ve

ever been to.

Hello, Greasy Joe’s Pizza?

I’m not sure about this, Dad.

Yes, that’s right.

Fifty supreme extra-large pies.

My name, it’s Mr. Kant.

K-A-N-T.

Prank phone calls.

There’s gotta be something here

that Dad and I can agree on.

(Flashbulb popping)

(Knocking)

No worries, boys.

I know how to get rid of crazy

fans.

They’re only wee lasses!

(Screaming)

Now Dad, be careful.

It’s very delicate.

Willy, if anyone knows about

delicate, it’s me.

I’m as delicate as a pussy cat.

Whoo, fly baby!

(Engine sputtering)

I’ll be in the car.

Mental note: Dad and remote

control anything does not mix.

I bet Serenity and Mom are

having the same problems.

Mom, this is the worst day

ever.

That’s what I was saying to

myself before we actually got to

the spa, but I was totally

wrong.

More lemonade!

(Roaring)

(Elephants trumpeting)

WILLY THINKING: Hey, I think

we’re finally having fun

together.

As father and son.

Wow, there’s nothing that can

ruin a special moment like

this.

(Rock roaring)

Hey, what gives?!

Dad!

I spoke to the zoo manager, Dad.

We’ll have you out as soon as he

signs the release forms.

That’s it, that’s the last

straw.

This crazy quest for quality

time is officially over.

(Sighing)

Ah, just the guy I wanted you

to meet.

Skunk, this is Kip.

Kip, Skunk.

Your new assistant.

Pleasure to meet you, mate.

I-- wha-- assistant?!

Huh?

Yeah, yeah.

I’m sure I told you about that

on the phone.

Oh, gee.

Look at the time, I gotta go!

That little weasel.

Well, if you’re looking for the

telly it’s in the other room.

No, I’m not looking for the

telly.

Everything on tour is electronic

and works off a simple remote

control.

From the lights...

To the furniture...

To everything else...

(Toilet flushing)

I better remember which

button did that.

Take this, it’s your own

personal remote.

I’ll send over the first 80

pages of the instruction manual

tonight.

Nothing to it.

Yeah, nothing to it.

Dad, I can’t believe you’re

gonna give up so easy.

Face it, Willy.

We’ll never find anything that

we can do together without

ending up being surrounded by a

bunch of a baboons.

(Cheering)

Dad, what if I told you that

we’ve just been handed our last

chance to bond as father and

son?

Sorry, Willy.

There’s nothing you can say

that’ll change my mind.

Well, what if I told you it

meant crashing a party?

Oooh, tell me more!

Make sure you load the acne

cream where the boys can get at

it, in case of an emergency.

(Sighing)

Maybe a nice cup of tea.

(Beeping)

Boil, you nasty thing, ya’.

Ahh!

(Beeping)

Now, where are those lads?

The plane’s about to lift off!

Oh, blimey!

Help, this is my only clean

shirt!

Oh man, this is gonna be

great.

After today, I can wear that

"World’s Greatest Dad" t-shirt

without feeling like a total

fraud!

(Cheering)

So, did we win?

(Laughing)

Oh, so it’s a water fight now,

is it?

(Gasping)

Dad, what are you doing?!

Hey, don’t sweat it, Willy.

We’re just having some fun.

Dad, you’ve ruined the

fireworks display!

Oh, man.

Let’s get out of here.

There’s no telling what these

dads will do to me once they

find out their fireworks show is

ruined!

No, we’re not leaving.

Just because our bonding genes

are messed up doesn’t mean that

we have to spoil the fun for all

the normal people.

What up, fly homie?

Skunk?

Is that you?

Word.

I mean, yeah, Rock.

It’s me!

I’ve taken a gig with a boy band

and I’m flying all the way above

the Pacific even as we speak.

What are you talking about?

We need you here, desperately!

Give me twenty minutes, mate.

And have some dry clothes

waiting for me, will you?

Well, good luck, boys.

Don’t forget to switch on your

nightlights.

Especially you, Mick.

You know, the right button.

Now this is more like it!

Yahoo!

Party’s not over yet, Willy,

my man.

You know, after all our

miserable attempts, I think we

finally found our common ground.

Dad, spoiling everyone’s fun

is hardly a worthy father and

son activity.

Just you wait.

Well, that’s got her.

Awesome!

Fire at will!

ALL: Oooh!

(Cheering)

Well, we might as well head

home.

There’s no way we can cause any

more damage here.

Oooh, that sounds like a

dare!

Dad.

CRYSTAL: Oh, what a horrible

experience!

Ugh, the spa ran out of

peppermint face cream and had to

use spearmint instead!

But the rest of the day was a

dream come true.

Oh, you said it, dear.

We should do this more often.

(Giggling)

(Crickets chirping)

What a day.

But, nothing a little

stargazing won’t fix.

Huh?

Dad?

Huh?

What are you doing up here?

I don’t know.

There’s something about the

night air that chills me out.

I just feel that up here I can

really--

TOGETHER: Think about things!

Hey, that’s right!

Don’t look now, but we just

might have found something in

common here.

I won’t tell if you won’t.

Hey, wanna see something really

cool?

You were right, Willy.

It’s like there’s a whole other

world out there.

Uh, Dad?

Stars are usually located in the

sky.

Sweet, I’ve gotta get me one

of them trampolines.

Huh?

Oh, yeah.

The sky, right...right.
