[Music]
Alright, where is he?
Who?
Who? Who don't I see?
Andy's not here yet.
You sure? I saw a
candy wrapper on the trail.
What's the trouble?
Trouble is, I'm gonna pound that weezer.
Why?
Cause you ratted me out. That's why.
What did you do now?
That's just it. Nothing.
A couple days ago, I
stayed home from school sick.
I had a note from my mom. Totally legit.
But I lost it. Now you know no one's
gonna believe that I really lost it.
So I had to forge a new one.
You forged a new one from your mother?
It's no big deal. I had a
real one. I just lost it.
So what happened?
So I gave it to the
principal like a good little boy.
But Andy was here. He
looks at the note and says,
"Hey, your mother's
handwriting looks a lot like yours."
Uh-oh.
I could've smacked him.
The principal compares
my handwriting and bam!
Two weeks detention.
He didn't mean to write you out.
It doesn't matter.
Aren't you gonna wait for him?
Why? He's not gonna
show. He knows I'll deck him.
He should hear this too.
It's about friends and trust.
Friends are the most important thing
you're ever gonna have.
You never ratted your friend.
Cause sooner or later,
it'll come back to you.
And when it does, when you
need that friend the most,
you'll find yourself all alone with no
one you can turn to.
Submitted for the
approval of the Midnight Society,
I call this story...
The tale of the wisdom glass.
Uh, if there's a game you can't find, I'd
be happy to order it for you.
I'm sure you would.
Hey, kid, enough already.
Just lookin', dude.
Yeah, well, look someplace
else. This isn't a museum.
I don't trust that type.
Type? That's my
brother you're talkin' about.
I'm terribly sorry, Mr.
Price. I had no idea...
You have my father's number? Go fetch an
authorization for my purchase.
Go! Go!
Yes, right away. Right away.
Such a pathetic individual.
Thanks, dude. That was pretty cool.
Alan Price.
Jimmy Miller.
So what's captured your
imagination, Jimmy Miller?
Huh? Oh.
Something I don't have the bread for.
Wisdom Game. The
ultimate journey of knowledge.
Pretty cool, huh?
Indeed. Would you like
me to buy it for you?
You know, serious.
Why not? No reason to let a
little thing like money...
Surprise!
Your Highness?
Guess what? Daddy
won't authorize payment.
What?
He says you've already blown your
allowance, and it's time you
learned the value of money.
Guess I'm the teacher.
Well, there's
obviously been a mistake here.
Yes, and I made it.
Wasting my time with you.
Oh, and you, dude, are not his brother.
I gotta fly later.
Well, we should discuss this.
Here's your discussion.
Get out! Now! And
don't come back here again!
Moving on, shredder.
Um... Hey... Uh, hello?
Dude!
Whoa, nice ride! Hop in!
Whoa. This place is bigger than my room.
You forgot something.
But I thought that gate cut you off.
So misunderstanding.
Shall we go to your house and try it out?
You wanna go to my house?
Why not? Afraid I might embarrass you in
front of the neighbors?
Absolutely. Let's go.
My father calls. Don't
answer it. Let him sweat a while.
I feel like the prince
slumming with the popper.
And does that make
you feel important, sir?
Yes. In fact, yes it does.
Don't cross me, Trevor.
You like hockey? My dad
and I go to a ton of games.
I wouldn't know. My
father's always too busy.
Too bad.
Okay, here we go.
Are you sure this old thing can run it?
I hope.
Look, the game brought us online.
Hey, what'd you do that for?
I had to register our names.
Is that a problem?
Uh, no. No problem.
Oh, cool. Looks like we
registered just in time.
There's a Wisdom Game
Card tournament tomorrow.
Top prize, ten thousand bucks!
Why are you printing that?
I'm not.
It's directions to the tournament.
I believe it just killed your computer.
Who cares? I say we go to the tournament.
If we win, we can split the cash.
And I can buy any computer I want.
Stay up for it?
Yes. Yes, I am.
Well, that's the
place, according to this.
Let's go check it out.
All right, now, Trevor, wait
here and don't fall asleep.
Oh, this is it.
What an odd place for a tournament.
Unbelievable.
Whoa.
It's like the game came alive.
Fascinating.
Look at him. Whoa.
You must heed the rules of wisdom,
respect, integrity, and honesty.
I am the keeper.
You are newborns and
must dress accordingly.
Um, brown really isn't my color.
What are your names? I will
confirm your registration.
Registration? Alan
Price and Jimmy Miller.
Hey, why does he need our names?
Just to make sure that we are who we are.
Um, maybe coming here wasn't such a good idea.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Um, maybe coming here
wasn't such a good idea.
Chill, dude. Everything's gonna be great.
I think we should leave now.
Now I see the truth.
The newborns!
Get them!
What are you doing?
Get off me! Let me go!
We have been waiting for you.
Let me go! This is the part of the game.
This is no game.
You are here to defend yourselves.
And if guilty, you
will pay for your crime.
Crime? What crime?
The crime of stealing wisdom.
Why do they think we stole the game?
I wouldn't know.
You gotta make those creeps understand
that they're making a big mistake.
Me? Why me?
Because they'll believe you.
You look honest.
I look like, well,
someone that steals stuff.
Oh, that's ridiculous.
It's true. Whenever I go
into a store, people watch me.
Because I think I'm
gonna pinch something.
It gets pretty old.
Yeah, well, that doesn't matter.
They can't prove that we stole the game.
We'll be out of here in no time.
Order at the clock!
You can't put us on trial. I
insist on calling my father.
We can. And we will.
You're in wisdom now.
Our way of doing things is our own.
Where is the defendant's counsel?
Unfortunate case though, I may be.
Your case is fortunate to be with me.
What? He's not a lawyer.
He's a... a clown.
A clown exactly.
Come on, give us
someone with credentials.
Credentials, you tensels.
Let's all use pencils.
He's a nut job.
But he's your nut job.
Bring forth the wisdom glass.
The Oracle of Ultimate
Truth. The Wisdom Glass.
My father's a lawyer. I
demand you call him right now.
The Wisdom Glass says request deny.
Denied! A ride.
You might get fried.
We're sunk. We have the right to
represent ourselves. You're fired.
Fired, fired. I'm getting fired.
Request denied. Your counsel stays.
This is insane.
Not another word.
Now, let us proceed.
Everyone knows that wisdom is
something that one acquires.
It cannot be bought, bartered, or stolen.
Admit that you stole the game.
I've told you a thousand
times. I didn't steal it.
I object. My client said
that six times, not a thousand.
He can't object to me.
Overrule.
How can you say that even once when we
have indisputable proof to the contrary?
Proof? What proof?
Uh-oh.
That's him! Oh, yeah,
I never forget a face.
He was looking at the game, and then he
ran out of the store, and it went back to
the shelf. It was gone.
Um, where are we?
No way! I didn't steal it!
Al-Al-Aland, say something!
He did it! He stole the game!
Dude! I told him not to,
but he wouldn't listen to me.
This is most unusual. I
must consult a higher power.
The wisdom glass says,
"It's time for lunch."
Take them away.
They're spoiling my appetite.
What's the deal? I
thought we were friends.
Look, it was me, all
right? I stole the stupid game.
Why? I mean, you're like rich.
Well, you saw the guy in the store. He
made me look foolish.
Nobody makes me look foolish.
He only really got you back good.
And now you're making me look bad. You're
a real piece of work, you know that?
Look, Jimmy, I understand you're a fool.
Jimmy, I understand why
you're angry, and I'm sorry.
But you have to see my dilemma.
I'm a 4.0 student, top of my class.
My father has big plans for me, and if he
finds out about all
this, I could lose that.
And it doesn't matter if I take the heat,
because I'm just a big loser, right?
Jimmy, I need you to plead guilty.
You want me to take the rap for you?
I'll give you anything,
anything! Name your price!
You know, all your money, and your limo,
and your fancy clothes,
they don't mean squat to me.
The way you stood up for me in that
store, that was pretty cool.
So for that, I'll do it.
Oh, yes! Thank you, thank you.
And what is it you have to
tell the court, young man?
It was me. I stole the game.
Work is done! Time for fun!
Signage, you fool!
The accused has confessed.
Do you have anything to
say before I pass sentence?
Go easy on him.
You are free to go.
Don't worry, he'll be fine. There are many possible sentences we
could hand down to you for committing
this terrible crime.
We could ask you to pay for the game.
We could ask you to write a
ten-thousand-word essay
on the evils of stealing.
Or you may even be
set free with a warning.
Okay. So what's it gonna be?
It will be determined
by the wisdom glass.
Jimmy Miller, for having stolen wisdom,
you are to be immediately...
Executed!
What?
The wisdom glass has spoken.
Carry out the sentence.
Court is adjourned.
Wait! You can't do this!
You can't execute me for stealing a game?
But we can.
In the world of wisdom,
stealing is a capital of events.
Bad mistake, bad mistake. Too much at
stake for a bad mistake.
You can't do this!
Let's go.
Where's your friend?
We had an argument. He's not
my friend anymore. Let's go.
Let's do that. What
should I do with these?
What are they?
Tickets for the hockey game tonight.
Jimmy asked me to hold
on to them for you guys.
He got us tickets for a hockey game?
Well, he said you'd never been, and he
wanted to return the favor for
giving him that computer game.
I can't do this! I
didn't even steal the game!
It's a shame. He really seemed to like
you for something other than your money.
Oh well.
Wait!
Hold these.
This is a joke, right?
This can't be real!
Stop!
Jimmy didn't do it! I did! I asked him to
lie for me! I'm the one! I took the game!
And... Whoa! What were
you going to do to him?
Are you confessing now?
I didn't mean to steal it. I just ran out
of the store and it was in my hand.
Release the prisoner.
Sorry, man. It was cool.
What you did was very brave, young man.
It seems you've learned
what wisdom is all about.
Now execute him!
What?
The judgment of the wisdom
glass must be carried out.
What? He's a jerk!
Jimmy! Help!
Let him go! Or I'll smash it!
No!
Don't you perhaps do that!
Release the boy.
Now, everybody be cool. And
the wisdom thingy is safe.
Hey, I'll smash it!
You want this so bad? Then go get it!
No!
That's not it! Stop it!
Come on!
See? I'm no fool!
Let's go! Come on!
Come on, John! Come on!
Let's go!
You're awesome!
Man, you two...
Trevor, why aren't we moving?
The judgment of the wisdom
glass must be carried out.
What is a jerk?
Almost!
The end.
That was awesome.
Impressed, Gwen.
He's here?
Hi.
You are history.
Easy!
I got too much attention
because of you, me boy!
Wait, wait. I called your
mom and told her what happened.
She called the principal and sent him
another note. You're off the hook.
Yeah, uh...
I think the word's "thanks."
Yeah, well, um...
You told my mom I forged
your name? Are you Ben?
Be careful!
We need to go!
