1. - Hello, Napoleon.
- Hey, Pedro.
Copy !req
2. Hi. This is Napoleon Dynamite
calling from the Preston Bugle.
Copy !req
3. Would you like to buy ad space
Copy !req
4. in our crappy newspaper
that nobody reads?
Copy !req
5. Why not?
Copy !req
6. Napoleon, I don't want to
tell you how to do your job,
Copy !req
7. but your sales technique
leaves a lot to be desired.
Copy !req
8. I thought you didn't want to
tell me how to do my job, Deb.
Copy !req
9. This paper's lame.
Copy !req
10. I'm only doing this because I
wanted to be called "Scoop."
Copy !req
11. This is a sad day to be a
school newspaper editor, kids.
Copy !req
12. You know why?
Copy !req
13. Because your wife left you
for her calligraphy instructor?
Copy !req
14. No, Scoop. Although that was
one beautiful Dear John letter.
Copy !req
15. Is it because newspapers have words
Copy !req
16. that we're expected to read?
Copy !req
17. I'm afraid so, Summer.
Copy !req
18. I knew it!
Copy !req
19. But a free press
Copy !req
20. is the cornerstone of any democracy.
Copy !req
21. It's the only way to deliver
breaking news
Copy !req
22. on a monthly basis.
Copy !req
23. I appreciate your passion, Deb,
Copy !req
24. but I'm afraid it's time
to stop the presses for good.
Copy !req
25. Wait!
Whuh?
Copy !req
26. Just give me 24 hours
to come up with a great story
Copy !req
27. that will send sales through
the roof and save the paper.
Copy !req
28. Just 24 hours!
Copy !req
29. Yes, I heard you the first time.
Copy !req
30. Very well, Deb.
Copy !req
31. Does this mean I have to
keep calling people?
Copy !req
32. You bet!
Copy !req
33. This is Napoleon Dynamite
from the Preston Bugle.
Copy !req
34. Well, I think your name is stupid!
Copy !req
35. Grandma, I found a gingersnap
and a gun in the backseat.
Copy !req
36. Yikes! I gotta find a safer
place to hide my gingersnaps.
Copy !req
37. Okay, a good reporter
doesn't find great stories.
Copy !req
38. She finds good stories
and makes them great.
Copy !req
39. She also thinks
to herself, not out loud.
Copy !req
40. Hey, Deb, you should do
an exposé on me.
Copy !req
41. But I have worn the same
pair of pants for five years.
Copy !req
42. Would your readers care about that?
Copy !req
43. You should write about how Napoleon
Copy !req
44. is afraid of the vacuum.
Copy !req
45. Shut up! You don't know
anything about journalism!
Copy !req
46. Who are you telling to shut up?
Copy !req
47. Give me that!
Dang it.
Copy !req
48. You should do an article about
Copy !req
49. why the pharmacy closes so early.
Copy !req
50. It says 6:00 p.m. on the door,
but they lock up at 5:45!
Copy !req
51. Those are pretty much the
worst stories I've ever heard.
Copy !req
52. Look, Deb, if you really want
to save your horse's life...
Copy !req
53. I'm trying to save the school paper!
Copy !req
54. Whatever. You should do a story
about the Mineshaft Monster.
Copy !req
55. Nobody's ever seen
the Mineshaft Monster.
Copy !req
56. He's like Bigfoot... he's not real.
Copy !req
57. You just lied three times
in that statement.
Copy !req
58. If he's not real, how do you explain
Copy !req
59. all the cattle mutilations in 1971,
Copy !req
60. and all the nightmares
I have about him?
Copy !req
61. You want a story, Deb?
Copy !req
62. How about
"Man Throws Perfect Spiral"?
Copy !req
63. Whoa, I did it!
Copy !req
64. Hello, Dynamite family!
Copy !req
65. Ouch!
Mi cabeza!
Copy !req
66. That gives me a great idea, Mr. Rico!
Copy !req
67. Fantastic!
Copy !req
68. But no questions about my war record.
Copy !req
69. I'm technically still
supposed to be in Kuwait.
Copy !req
70. So anyway, Pedro, here's the idea.
Copy !req
71. An all-access,
no-holds-barred interview
Copy !req
72. with the Student Body President!
Copy !req
73. There are so many more
interesting people
Copy !req
74. at the school than me.
Copy !req
75. You should interview
that history teacher
Copy !req
76. who plays the banjo.
Copy !req
77. Or that girl who went to Israel
and never shuts up about it.
Copy !req
78. Come on, Pedro. Please?
Copy !req
79. You don't want
the school paper to die
Copy !req
80. under your administration, do you?
Copy !req
81. Okay, Deb, I'll let you access me.
Copy !req
82. And in Israel, they have
this stuff called falafel.
Copy !req
83. It is so much better
than anything in America!
Copy !req
84. Ugh!
Copy !req
85. Buenos dias!
Copy !req
86. Yo soy Felipe con
el Loco Zoológico Mañana!
Copy !req
87. Y ahora numero uno un éxito
que no es Lady Gaga!
Copy !req
88. Hey.
Copy !req
89. Good morning, Mr. President!
Copy !req
90. Why are you watching me sleep?
Copy !req
91. I'm shadowing you.
Copy !req
92. I want our readers to feel like
Copy !req
93. they're with you
every minute of the day.
Copy !req
94. Okay, but the sounds you hear
Copy !req
95. for the next five minutes
are off the record.
Copy !req
96. So what does the president
eat for breakfast?
Copy !req
97. Tasty-O's. They're a lot like
Cheerios but not as tasty.
Copy !req
98. So you prefer showers to baths?
Copy !req
99. I follow my heart.
Copy !req
100. So, you're Pedro's friend.
Copy !req
101. That must be exciting.
Copy !req
102. What the heck is wrong with you?
Copy !req
103. Just pretend I'm not here.
Copy !req
104. Have your normal
morning conversation.
Copy !req
105. Okay. Hey, Pedro?
Copy !req
106. Yes, Napoleon?
Copy !req
107. Would you rather wrestle a
bear or karate-fight a moose?
Copy !req
108. Hmm. I'd probably wrestle the bear.
Copy !req
109. I don't know.
The bear has wicked claws,
Copy !req
110. but the moose has more
woodland allies.
Copy !req
111. I'd still pick the bear.
Copy !req
112. Yeah, me, too.
Copy !req
113. Why aren't you writing this down?
Copy !req
114. This is gold!
Copy !req
115. Carl, Carl's Clock Repair.
Copy !req
116. Here's your problem...
it's set too loud.
Copy !req
117. That'll really emphasize
the passage of time.
Copy !req
118. Mr. President, we have a problem
that only you can solve.
Copy !req
119. What is it?
Copy !req
120. How do you say "water" in Spanish?
Copy !req
121. Agua.
Copy !req
122. You're amazing.
Copy !req
123. Pedro, the cheerleading
team needs money,
Copy !req
124. but I can't think of a
single fund-raising idea.
Copy !req
125. Wait a second, bake sale,
car wash, kissing booth.
Copy !req
126. You're right, there's lots of ways.
Copy !req
127. Thanks, Pedro.
Copy !req
128. Sometimes you just have
to let them talk.
Copy !req
129. How's that clock doing?
Copy !req
130. Good.
Great!
Copy !req
131. Well, that's basically my day, Deb.
Copy !req
132. Oh, Pedro, I can't thank you enough.
Copy !req
133. This is going to be
such a good article.
Copy !req
134. I've got so much great stuff.
Copy !req
135. Oh... who am I kidding?
I've got nothing.
Copy !req
136. I'm sorry, Deb.
Copy !req
137. It's not your fault Preston is
the most boring city in America.
Copy !req
138. I guess this is the end
of the school paper.
Copy !req
139. I can't believe the Morse
code club outlasted us.
Copy !req
140. Too soon!
Copy !req
141. Pedro, I was up all night
Copy !req
142. thinking about our
conversation yesterday,
Copy !req
143. and I've had a
complete change of heart.
Copy !req
144. I'd rather karate-fight a moose.
Copy !req
145. It's your funeral.
Copy !req
146. Newspaper story!
Read all about it!
Copy !req
147. Hey, look at all the jerks
buying the school paper.
Copy !req
148. You really did the right
thing by helping Deb.
Copy !req
149. But nothing interesting
happened all day.
Copy !req
150. She must be a really good reporter.
Copy !req
151. Most boring city in America?
Copy !req
152. He's obviously never been
to Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin!
Copy !req
153. And I suppose my father's
Copy !req
154. escrow company is boring?
Right.
Copy !req
155. Am I offended?
Yeah-hah!
Copy !req
156. Ugh! Wednesday lunch
is lasagna and fries?
Copy !req
157. Why do they do that?
Copy !req
158. Traidora!
Copy !req
159. Oh, the headline, yeah.
Copy !req
160. I thought about going with
"President Gets Clock Fixed,"
Copy !req
161. but this was juicier.
Copy !req
162. You were right... caught my eye.
Copy !req
163. But now the whole school hates me.
Copy !req
164. It's not my fault.
Copy !req
165. You agreed to the interview.
Copy !req
166. Yeah, Pedro.
You did do that.
Copy !req
167. You said all-access, no-holds-barred.
Copy !req
168. You could have held one of the bars.
Copy !req
169. Yeah, Deb.
Just one freakin' bar.
Copy !req
170. Just tell everyone you got it
wrong and I didn't say it.
Copy !req
171. But you did say it!
Copy !req
172. The first rule of reporting is
to put the truth above all.
Copy !req
173. And the first rule of friendship
is to not screw Pedro.
Copy !req
174. Yeah, Deb, you should never...
Copy !req
175. You can't agree
with both of us, Napoleon.
Copy !req
176. Yeah, Napoleon.
Whose side are you on?
Copy !req
177. Uh...
Copy !req
178. Why are you wailing on that can?
Copy !req
179. It didn't betray you.
Copy !req
180. Yeah, I know.
I'm just filled with rage.
Copy !req
181. You're making too big a deal of this.
Copy !req
182. It's just the stupid school paper.
Copy !req
183. Nobody else cares.
Copy !req
184. There he is!
Copy !req
185. The kid who hates us!
Copy !req
186. Mr. Sanchez,
Copy !req
187. what do you find
so boring about Preston?
Copy !req
188. Are you bored right now?
Copy !req
189. Do you think this
is a huge overreaction
Copy !req
190. for something printed
in a high school newspaper?
Copy !req
191. Well, to be honest...
Copy !req
192. Oye Presidente Pedro,
Copy !req
193. usted es un hombre despreciable!
Copy !req
194. Not you, too, Felipe in the morning!
Copy !req
195. Y ahora para la música nueva
que no es Reba McEntire!
Copy !req
196. Here's your Helper.
Copy !req
197. Sorry, we're out of hamburger.
Copy !req
198. Thank you for sheltering me
Copy !req
199. from the angry town,
Señorita Dinamita.
Copy !req
200. It's nice to have
some diversity in the house.
Copy !req
201. I don't know why you hate
Preston so much, Pedro.
Copy !req
202. I can't think of a more exciting town
Copy !req
203. from which to access the Internet.
Copy !req
204. I don't hate Preston!
Copy !req
205. I just made an innocent remark
Copy !req
206. that blew up in my face,
surprising me greatly.
Copy !req
207. Yeah, that's the advantage
of being an old lady.
Copy !req
208. I can say any rotten thing I want
Copy !req
209. and people just think
I'm a "character."
Copy !req
210. Watch this.
Copy !req
211. Hey, mailman!
Copy !req
212. I get one more wet catalog
Copy !req
213. and I'm putting a
bullet in your head!
Copy !req
214. Oh, Mrs. Dynamite.
Copy !req
215. You are a character!
Copy !req
216. Things look bad now, but I'm
sure the good people of Preston
Copy !req
217. will eventually forgive me.
Copy !req
218. You got that right, Pedrah.
Copy !req
219. When I lost that big football game,
Copy !req
220. I thought my life was ruined
forever, but look at me now!
Copy !req
221. Whoop,
my underwear's done boiling!
Copy !req
222. On second thought,
I better face the town now
Copy !req
223. so I can continue washing my
underwear like a human being.
Copy !req
224. And there's my poached eggs!
Copy !req
225. Pedro, you've done a great thing
by appearing here today.
Copy !req
226. Yay.
Copy !req
227. You've given us a focal point
to direct our various rages
Copy !req
228. and disappointments,
whatever those may be.
Copy !req
229. I'm unemployed!
Copy !req
230. My sports team lost!
Copy !req
231. My liposuction hurts.
Copy !req
232. My wives are plain and dim!
Copy !req
233. We is.
Copy !req
234. I'm sorry for all
your crazy problems,
Copy !req
235. but if you'll allow me to explain...
Copy !req
236. No! You might change our minds!
Copy !req
237. Stone him!
Copy !req
238. Don't worry, little
buddy, I got this.
Copy !req
239. Whoa, look at him prance
and strut about the stage.
Copy !req
240. He's losing weight and having fun.
Copy !req
241. What were we angry about again?
Copy !req
242. It's a trap! He's trying to
dance his way into our hearts!
Copy !req
243. Frankly, I'm surprised
it worked the first time.
Copy !req
244. ? Grandma's very sleepy
Copy !req
245. ? I'm going to eat some jelly.
Copy !req
246. That's a catchy little
tune there, Kip.
Copy !req
247. Let me try.
Copy !req
248. ? Full of sexy body parts.
Copy !req
249. Oh!
Copy !req
250. Lunch is so much more fun
Copy !req
251. with just the two of us,
isn't it, Napoleon?
Copy !req
252. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
253. Pedro always shares his tots with me.
Copy !req
254. I'll share with you.
Copy !req
255. Forget that, Deb.
Copy !req
256. All you ever eat is cottage cheese.
Copy !req
257. You should've just
written a story about
Copy !req
258. the Mineshaft Monster,
like I ordered you to.
Copy !req
259. Pedro, come here.
Copy !req
260. Hello, Napoleon.
Copy !req
261. Hello, girl who ruined my life.
Copy !req
262. Hello, guy who doesn't understand
Copy !req
263. journalistic integrity.
Copy !req
264. Well, I guess that's
that. Friends again.
Copy !req
265. You guys want to go
throw stuff off a roof?
Copy !req
266. We're not friends, Napoleon.
Copy !req
267. Yeah, we're pretty much enemies.
Copy !req
268. So I think you have to choose
who you want to hang out with.
Copy !req
269. What? It took me 16 years
of putting up with idiots
Copy !req
270. to find two friends I could stand.
Copy !req
271. I'm not choosing!
Copy !req
272. Well, I'm not staying here with her.
Copy !req
273. And I'm not staying here with him.
Copy !req
274. He's not even here anymore!
Copy !req
275. Ugh.
I hate sitting alone.
Copy !req
276. Hi. I know you don't know me,
but can I sit with you guys?
Copy !req
277. The more, the merrier.
Copy !req
278. What's your name?
Copy !req
279. Geez. Do you always talk this much?
Copy !req
280. Hmph!
Copy !req
281. Ugh.
I hate sitting alone.
Copy !req
282. ? To think that only yesterday
Copy !req
283. ? The role I was about to play
Copy !req
284. ? But as if to knock me down
Copy !req
285. ? Reality came around
Copy !req
286. ? Cut me into little pieces
Copy !req
287. ? Leaving me to doubt
Copy !req
288. ? Talk about God and His mercy
Copy !req
289. ? Oh, if He really does exist
Copy !req
290. ? In my hour of need
Copy !req
291. ? I truly am indeed
Copy !req
292. ? Naturally
Copy !req
293. ? Alone again
Copy !req
294. ? Naturally.
Copy !req
295. Okay, net's ready.
Copy !req
296. We haven't played badminton
as a family in a long time.
Copy !req
297. Yeah, well, normally I
play with Pedro and Deb,
Copy !req
298. but I'm kinda stuck with you guys.
Copy !req
299. Why don't you just imagine
we're your friends?
Copy !req
300. That was sick.
Copy !req
301. Okay, birdie-up!
Copy !req
302. Ouch. You definitely put
some English on that.
Copy !req
303. I think I have a chest concussion.
Copy !req
304. Why are you so fragile?
Copy !req
305. My eardrums!
Copy !req
306. Napoleon, I know you
miss your friends,
Copy !req
307. but you gotta be patient.
Copy !req
308. Yeah, everyone will forget
how much they hate Pedro
Copy !req
309. when a new,
more exciting story comes along.
Copy !req
310. Like a six-headed baby
or a war in outer space.
Copy !req
311. Yeah, I guess that would do it.
Copy !req
312. I think a bee went up my shorts.
Copy !req
313. Oh.
Copy !req
314. Yup, it did.
Copy !req
315. Hmm?
Copy !req
316. I like girl clothes.
Copy !req
317. Yes!
Copy !req
318. Thank you for coming here today.
Copy !req
319. I can't believe you trapped us.
Copy !req
320. And there weren't even
any girl clothes.
Copy !req
321. Both of you shut up!
Here's the deal.
Copy !req
322. I figured out a way for the
three of us to be buds again.
Copy !req
323. But we're gonna
have to work together.
Copy !req
324. I hope you went to
the activities board
Copy !req
325. to reserve this gym.
Copy !req
326. Yeah, I talked to Lucy.
Copy !req
327. We're good until next period.
Copy !req
328. Go on, then.
Copy !req
329. Look, Pedro wants the
town to stop hating him,
Copy !req
330. Deb wants to be a good reporter,
Copy !req
331. and everybody wants me to be happy.
Copy !req
332. How do we accomplish these goals?
Copy !req
333. Three simple words:
Copy !req
334. "Mine Shaft Monster."
Copy !req
335. You didn't talk to Lucy, did you?
Copy !req
336. She was away from her desk!
Copy !req
337. Look, we need a big news story
Copy !req
338. to knock Pedro off the front page,
Copy !req
339. and a photo of the
Mineshaft Monster will do that.
Copy !req
340. Forget it, Napoleon.
Copy !req
341. There is no monster, except
the one I'm tied up next to.
Copy !req
342. And while I do believe
in monsters of all types,
Copy !req
343. I would never work
with someone who would
Copy !req
344. sell out a friend
for a snappy headline.
Copy !req
345. Fine, if you two don't give
a crap about our friendship,
Copy !req
346. I'll just have to give enough
crap for the three of us!
Copy !req
347. Why did you want girl clothes?
Copy !req
348. Who doesn't?
Copy !req
349. Oh, man, I remember this mineshaft.
Copy !req
350. My friend, Dave, died
here in high school.
Copy !req
351. I brought the prettiest
girl to that funeral.
Copy !req
352. Her name was...
Copy !req
353. Her name was Jordan,
you made out next to the coffin!
Copy !req
354. You only tell this story,
like, every day.
Copy !req
355. So when the monster shows,
you put him in a headlock,
Copy !req
356. and I'll snap the picture.
Copy !req
357. Then I'll try to save you
Copy !req
358. before he rips out your
pancreas and drinks its juice.
Copy !req
359. I don't know, Napoleon.
Copy !req
360. I don't like having my picture taken.
Copy !req
361. What was that?
Copy !req
362. It was a freakin' coyote.
Copy !req
363. It was the ghost of Dave.
Copy !req
364. I still owe him money.
Copy !req
365. How can you owe a ghost money?
Copy !req
366. Because I bet him 20 bucks
Copy !req
367. he wouldn't jump down that
mineshaft. You coming?
Copy !req
368. No way! I'm not a big chicken
like you?
Copy !req
369. Okay, Mineshaft Monster,
you don't scare me.
Copy !req
370. But that owl sort of does.
Copy !req
371. That makes it worse.
Copy !req
372. I don't know how I feel about that.
Copy !req
373. This is Napoleon's video journal.
Copy !req
374. Let's see, it's day... one.
Copy !req
375. I already ate all my food.
Copy !req
376. It was pretty good.
Copy !req
377. No sign of the Mineshaft Monster yet.
Copy !req
378. Um, if you're watching this,
Copy !req
379. that'd be pretty weird
'cause I'm pretending
Copy !req
380. this rock is a camera.
Copy !req
381. I'm super cold,
I'm haunted by my past,
Copy !req
382. and animals act really weird
at night.
Copy !req
383. Shh...
Copy !req
384. Eerie.
Copy !req
385. Grandma, when I'm older,
can I have a gun?
Copy !req
386. Nope.
Copy !req
387. Can I dream of having a gun?
Copy !req
388. Nope.
Copy !req
389. What the...?
Copy !req
390. You left Napoleon out
in the woods by himself?
Copy !req
391. Are you an idiot?
Copy !req
392. Sure sometimes, but there was
this ghost you see, and...
Copy !req
393. That was no ghost!
Copy !req
394. That was the Mineshaft Monster!
Copy !req
395. You believe in that nonsense?
Copy !req
396. Permission to stay behind
and finish the dishes?
Copy !req
397. Get inside!
Geez!
Copy !req
398. Hey, Monster, come here.
Copy !req
399. Don't worry, nobody's
gonna take a picture of you.
Copy !req
400. Sucker.
Copy !req
401. Oh, dang.
Copy !req
402. I am Napoleon Dynamite
of the human race.
Copy !req
403. Prepare to be photographed.
Copy !req
404. Ah! It's bright!
Copy !req
405. Deb, why are you wearing
a lame monster costume?
Copy !req
406. I thought it was scary.
Copy !req
407. My mom said it was scary.
Copy !req
408. That's 'cause she's too supportive!
Copy !req
409. What are you doing down here?
Copy !req
410. I was worried about you
being out here all alone,
Copy !req
411. so I thought I'd help
you get your picture.
Copy !req
412. Drink coasters?
Macaroni?
Copy !req
413. This isn't a monster...
it's freakin' rainy day fun.
Copy !req
414. Are you going
to take my picture or what?
Copy !req
415. Pedro?
Pedro?
Copy !req
416. Now that's how you make
a monster, Deb.
Copy !req
417. Fangs, appendages, no sequins.
Copy !req
418. I was building it for the
Dia de los Muertos parade,
Copy !req
419. but I decided to break it out early
Copy !req
420. so you could get your picture.
Copy !req
421. See?
Copy !req
422. You guys thought
you hated each other,
Copy !req
423. but you came up with the same plan
Copy !req
424. so we could all be friends again.
Copy !req
425. Pedro just did it way cooler.
Copy !req
426. Sorry, Deb. I just think
you suck at making monsters.
Copy !req
427. Sorry I didn't get a
picture of the monster, Pedro.
Copy !req
428. I guess I'm gonna be
on the front page forever.
Copy !req
429. Wait, what if we start a big
fire, or a war in outer space?
Copy !req
430. I don't think those are good ideas.
Copy !req
431. At least I'm pitching.
Copy !req
432. Thank goodness you're okay, Napoleon.
Copy !req
433. That gol dang monster
could have deboned you
Copy !req
434. and worn you like a human poncho.
Copy !req
435. What's wrong with you people?
Copy !req
436. There is no monster!
Copy !req
437. Rico...!
Copy !req
438. Dave!
Copy !req
439. Dude, you still owe me 20 bucks
Copy !req
440. for jumping down that mineshaft.
Copy !req
441. I'll get you the money!
Copy !req
442. You're just gonna have to wait
Copy !req
443. till I sell my screenplay.
And write it.
Copy !req
444. Got any ideas?
Copy !req
445. Oh, for cryin' out...
Copy !req
446. Listen, hippie...
Copy !req
447. Put the grandma down.
Copy !req
448. Hey, man, I don't want any trouble!
Copy !req
449. Kip, you can't kill a ghost.
Copy !req
450. You can't?
Copy !req
451. Not without charmed weaponry.
Copy !req
452. Gosh, read a book!
Copy !req
453. Hey, Dave!
Double or nothing says
Copy !req
454. you won't jump down
that mineshaft again.
Copy !req
455. 40 bucks?
You're on, sucker!
Copy !req
456. Ow. My ghost back.
Copy !req
457. Idiot.
Copy !req
458. Look at that!
Copy !req
459. We're the original Ghostbusters!
Copy !req
460. Deb, I thought that story was
Copy !req
461. supposed to knock me
off the front page.
Copy !req
462. Well, at least you're below the fold.
Copy !req
463. Yeah, took me 15 years to get there.
Copy !req
464. Hey, you guys want to go
to the Tots 'n' Nuggs
Copy !req
465. and share your food with me?
Copy !req
466. Who are you waving at, Napoleon?
Copy !req
467. Just a friend, Deb.
Copy !req
468. Just a friend.
