1. I put a shock to your system!
Copy !req
2. 'Static Shock!'
Copy !req
3. I'm sorry I haven't
been around much lately.
Copy !req
4. Being Static
takes up a lot of time.
Copy !req
5. There's another reason,
too, moms.
Copy !req
6. Truth is, lately, I haven't
been feeling up to coming here.
Copy !req
7. I'm bettin'
you wanna know why, right?
Copy !req
8. Just gettin' comfortable, moms.
Copy !req
9. This might take a while.
Copy !req
10. It all started
a couple of weeks ago.
Copy !req
11. I was on my class field trip
having big fun.
Copy !req
12. Man, this place is
tre off the hook.
Copy !req
13. Yeah, but I can't believe
they're still open
Copy !req
14. while they're making
all these renovations.
Copy !req
15. How do you think they're
paying for the renovations?
Copy !req
16. I'm just glad they didn't shut
down the Lava Land ride.
Copy !req
17. Oh, look! Yes! Some of the lava
spewed on my shirt.
Copy !req
18. It's nacho cheese, Richie.
Copy !req
19. Ugh. Different eruption.
Copy !req
20. That's your friend.
Copy !req
21. Don't remind me.
Copy !req
22. There you are, Daisy honey.
Copy !req
23. Mom!
Copy !req
24. Wanna take some photos at the
You Oughta Be In Pictures booth?
Copy !req
25. Make some funny faces
to scare your father with.
Copy !req
26. Cool. But aren't you supposed
to be chaperoning?
Copy !req
27. I can't chaperone
my own daughter
Copy !req
28. for a couple of minutes?
Copy !req
29. Catch up with you guys later.
Copy !req
30. Eh, Daisy's mom's cool,
isn't she?
Copy !req
31. Yeah.
Copy !req
32. You're right, Daisy.
That Virgil is cute.
Copy !req
33. Mom!
Copy !req
34. Well, come on, V. We gotta
get ready for our screen test.
Copy !req
35. Alright, actors.
Time for wardrobe.
Copy !req
36. Come on, Thomas.
This isn't lecture hall.
Copy !req
37. Yeah, man. It's an amusement
park. Amuse yourself.
Copy !req
38. This is still
a class field trip, guys.
Copy !req
39. We're supposed
to be learning something.
Copy !req
40. Uh, somehow, I don't think
Copy !req
41. any of this is gonna end up
on the finals, Thomas.
Copy !req
42. Of course, you realize,
this means war.
Copy !req
43. Food fight!
Copy !req
44. One at a time, children.
One at a time.
Copy !req
45. How's it coming?
Copy !req
46. Just need to disconnect
Copy !req
47. one more wire and the trams
Copy !req
48. in the north sector
will be offline.
Copy !req
49. zap
Copy !req
50. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
51. What do you mean "Uh-oh?"
Copy !req
52. Even Einstein took a break
once in a while.
Copy !req
53. But Thomas Kim?
Work, work, work.
Copy !req
54. Dude needs balance
in his life. No doubt.
Copy !req
55. Maybe we should invite him
to go bowling with us.
Copy !req
56. - Hmm, maybe not.
- Maybe not.
Copy !req
57. Whoa! That's a transport tram.
It shouldn't be going that fast.
Copy !req
58. - Look out!
- Ah!
Copy !req
59. Shouldn't be doing that, either.
Copy !req
60. Move away!
Copy !req
61. zap
Copy !req
62. Whoa, whoa!
Copy !req
63. What's it made of?
Fiber glass?
Copy !req
64. Nothing like a little pressure.
Copy !req
65. zap
Copy !req
66. crash
Copy !req
67. Oh, come on!
Copy !req
68. Whoa.
Copy !req
69. Yes!
Copy !req
70. Now, the door is open.
Copy !req
71. How'd you do that?
Copy !req
72. A little something
called magnetic induction.
Copy !req
73. I zapped the first
piece of track
Copy !req
74. and it magnetized the others.
Copy !req
75. And I thought it only
worked with paper clips.
Copy !req
76. Thank you, thank you,
thank you!
Copy !req
77. Whoever you are, your mother
must be really proud of you.
Copy !req
78. Yeah... she sure would be.
Copy !req
79. Now, don't take this
the wrong way, moms.
Copy !req
80. When I got home
the last thing I wanted to
Copy !req
81. think about was you.
Copy !req
82. Whoa. Unh.
Copy !req
83. What are these videos doing
in the middle of the floor?
Copy !req
84. Virgil. Hey, son.
Copy !req
85. We need more burgers,
Virgil. Stat.
Copy !req
86. On it, pops.
Copy !req
87. Hey, son.
How was the movie park?
Copy !req
88. You seen one runaway tram,
you've seen 'em all.
Copy !req
89. - The videos, pops?
- We're gonna go through them.
Copy !req
90. For that compilation tape
we're making about your mother.
Copy !req
91. - What?
- It's for the memorial service.
Copy !req
92. I know we told you
about it, Virgil.
Copy !req
93. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
94. Aren't you gonna
help us screen them?
Copy !req
95. Uh, I'd like to, pops,
but I-I got a ton of homework.
Copy !req
96. They gave you homework
on field trip day?
Copy !req
97. That's how it is.
They give you one day of fun.
Copy !req
98. Then, double the workload
the next day.
Copy !req
99. I-I better get to it.
Copy !req
100. Hmm. I thought
he'd be psyched to do this.
Copy !req
101. 'I can't believe she ever wore'
Copy !req
102. 'that tacky polka dot dress
you bought her, daddy.'
Copy !req
103. 'Yeah, that's love, alright.'
Copy !req
104. 'She looks pretty, anyway.'
Copy !req
105. 'Yes, she does.'
Copy !req
106. I wanted to help 'em, moms,
but it just hurt too much.
Copy !req
107. 'Mom acts so funny!'
Copy !req
108. I had to get out of there.
So I went on patrol.
Copy !req
109. Thinking it would
help me clear my head.
Copy !req
110. crash
Copy !req
111. Man, who smacked
this place down?
Copy !req
112. - Grrr.
- What the!
Copy !req
113. Sorry I asked.
Copy !req
114. Yay, play, play.
Copy !req
115. You call this playing?
Copy !req
116. Looks more like mess hall.
Copy !req
117. The party's over, buddy.
Copy !req
118. - Bad, bad, bad!
- Bad?
Copy !req
119. You totally trash
a five-star restaurant
Copy !req
120. and I'm bad?
Copy !req
121. zap
Copy !req
122. Somebody got up
on the wrong side
Copy !req
123. of his alien pod this morning.
Copy !req
124. Anybody get the license number
of that Bang Baby?
Copy !req
125. It was wild, moms.
No matter what I threw at it
Copy !req
126. this thing was
impervious to pain.
Copy !req
127. I was telling Richie
all about it the next day.
Copy !req
128. At it even had purple skin
and orange hair.
Copy !req
129. Ugh. Bang Babies.
They just have no fashion sense.
Copy !req
130. The worst part was,
every time I hit it
Copy !req
131. it just got madder and madder.
Copy !req
132. 'Ahem.'
Copy !req
133. Perhaps, you'd like
to share your story
Copy !req
134. with the class, Virgil.
Copy !req
135. Uh, no thanks, Ms. Pettibone.
Copy !req
136. I hope I won't have to
separate you two again.
Copy !req
137. Class, I'm handing back
your essay test.
Copy !req
138. Undoubtedly, some of you will be
Copy !req
139. happier with your grades
than others.
Copy !req
140. Oh, yes! I'm happy.
What about you, Rich?
Copy !req
141. I'm... one of the others.
Copy !req
142. Uh, Ms. Pettibone.
I think there's a problem here.
Copy !req
143. Excuse me, Thomas?
Copy !req
144. You gave me a 99.
But I didn't get anything wrong.
Copy !req
145. You made a grading mistake.
Copy !req
146. - 'What a nerd.'
- 'Made grading mistake.'
Copy !req
147. Crazy brainiac.
Copy !req
148. Class. Let me see
your essay, Thomas.
Copy !req
149. Ah. You made
a slight grammatical error.
Copy !req
150. In this sentence, you're using
"its" in the possessive form
Copy !req
151. but you incorrectly placed
an apostrophe there. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
152. But.. What am I gonna
tell my parents?
Copy !req
153. You got the highest grade
in class.
Copy !req
154. That's what you tell them.
Copy !req
155. Whoa, dude. You're actually
bummed about only getting a 99?
Copy !req
156. Trade ya.
Copy !req
157. What in heavens name!
Copy !req
158. You wrong. Wrong!
Copy !req
159. crash
Copy !req
160. Holy creature feature!
Copy !req
161. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong!
Copy !req
162. W-w-wrong about what?
Copy !req
163. Argh! Everything!
Copy !req
164. What is that thing?
Copy !req
165. Whatever it is,
it's no teacher's pet.
Copy !req
166. Run, ma'am. Call the police.
Copy !req
167. Man, that was a double
taser shot. What does it take?
Copy !req
168. boom
Copy !req
169. Aah! Unh!
Copy !req
170. Bad man... gone.
Copy !req
171. Where's a full body cast
when you need one.
Copy !req
172. After that throwdown, moms,
even my aches and pains
Copy !req
173. had aches and pains. At least,
I was alone in the house.
Copy !req
174. And the peace and quiet
was doing me some good.
Copy !req
175. And then she walked in.
Copy !req
176. So now you
turn up home, baby bro.
Copy !req
177. I've got your speech
slotted for ten minutes.
Copy !req
178. So don't run off at the mouth
like you normally do.
Copy !req
179. - What speech?
- For the memorial service.
Copy !req
180. No one told me I had to speak.
Copy !req
181. I took it as a given
that you were gonna do this.
Copy !req
182. And that's the problem,
right there.
Copy !req
183. No one asked me
about this from jump.
Copy !req
184. No one even thought about how
I feel about this whole thing.
Copy !req
185. This isn't about you, Virgil,
it's about mom.
Copy !req
186. Now, you're gonna stop being
a brat and do this speech.
Copy !req
187. You can't make me!
You can't make me do anything!
Copy !req
188. Make the stupid speech yourself!
Copy !req
189. Virgil.
Copy !req
190. Please don't make me do it,
pops.
Copy !req
191. I don't wanna make a speech.
Copy !req
192. I would never
force you to do that, son.
Copy !req
193. And... about what
I said to Sharon..
Copy !req
194. Forget it. We all
lose our cool now and again.
Copy !req
195. In fact, I may
owe you an apology.
Copy !req
196. For what?
Copy !req
197. I thought you had come to terms
with your mom's death
Copy !req
198. all this time.
Copy !req
199. I was wrong about that, huh?
Copy !req
200. Pops, I..
Copy !req
201. - You wanna talk about it?
- Maybe later. Okay?
Copy !req
202. I understand.
Copy !req
203. It took me a long time
before I could even say her name
Copy !req
204. without feeling pain.
Copy !req
205. Whenever you're ready, son.
Copy !req
206. It would be nice if you did
speak at the memorial, Virgil.
Copy !req
207. If for no one else,
for your mom.
Copy !req
208. Just think about it.
Copy !req
209. - Hello?
- Virgil, it's me.
Copy !req
210. I just came back
from the school parking lot..
Copy !req
211. Multiple tow-truck action, man.
Copy !req
212. I was there, Rich.
Tell me something I don't know.
Copy !req
213. Okay. I found something
on the scene, V.
Copy !req
214. It's gonna blow your mind.
Copy !req
215. It's the smoking gun, V.
Copy !req
216. Iron clad proof that Thomas
is mister tall, dark, and ugly.
Copy !req
217. - What if Thomas dropped it?
- Come on, V.
Copy !req
218. Thomas is the kind of dude
who keeps track
Copy !req
219. of everything he has.
Copy !req
220. He wouldn't just lose
an "A" paper like that.
Copy !req
221. I know.
Copy !req
222. But we have to be
absolutely sure
Copy !req
223. before we break the news
to his peeps.
Copy !req
224. Wait a minute, bro.
Copy !req
225. If we're right about Thomas
Copy !req
226. isn't he the last person
we should be going to?
Copy !req
227. To paraphrase one of your
favorite sayings, moms
Copy !req
228. if superheroing were easy,
everybody would do it.
Copy !req
229. Once more, Thomas,
what event triggered
Copy !req
230. the start of World War I?
Copy !req
231. The assassination
of the Archduke Ferdinand.
Copy !req
232. Mm. Now, the name
of that assassin?
Copy !req
233. I... I don't think that
will be on the test, father.
Copy !req
234. That attitude
is the difference between
Copy !req
235. a perfect score and a 99.
Copy !req
236. Excuse me, dear,
but Thomas has visitors.
Copy !req
237. Hey, Thomas. Mr. Kim.
Copy !req
238. Virgil? Richie?
Copy !req
239. Hey, yo. Thought
we'd come over to hang.
Copy !req
240. Hang? Hang what?
Copy !req
241. You know, like, visit.
If that's okay?
Copy !req
242. Of course, it is.
Copy !req
243. - But, dear, Thomas' studies—
- Can wait.
Copy !req
244. Our son has friends. Come on.
Copy !req
245. Thomas.
Copy !req
246. Oof. First place.
Copy !req
247. So you were a pretty big brain
even in the first grade, huh?
Copy !req
248. Academic achievement
cannot begin early enough.
Copy !req
249. - Please don't sit there!
- Huh?
Copy !req
250. Uh, sorry.
Copy !req
251. So, Thomas,
we found something of yours.
Copy !req
252. Your essay test paper.
Copy !req
253. Yeah. It was
in the school parking lot.
Copy !req
254. - Ring any bells?
- What're you talking about?
Copy !req
255. My test is right..
Right..
Copy !req
256. You must have dropped it.
Copy !req
257. But I was never
in the parking lot.
Copy !req
258. - You sure about that?
- Yes!
Copy !req
259. - What're you trying to say?
- Easy, Thomas. Easy.
Copy !req
260. Last thing we need
is you throwing a tantrum.
Copy !req
261. A tantrum? Me?
I would never do that.
Copy !req
262. And I don't appreciate the two
of you goofing on me like this.
Copy !req
263. Hey, yo, dude. Get a grip.
Copy !req
264. Get out of my house!
Copy !req
265. If he's a Bang Baby,
he has no clue, Rich.
Copy !req
266. Maybe he's like
Jekyll and Hyde or something.
Copy !req
267. Mommy. Mommy.
Copy !req
268. - Drop that remote!
- Oh, yeah. Right.
Copy !req
269. Like I'm really gonna miss
you going postal.
Copy !req
270. - I mean it, Rich.
- Ah, ah, ah.
Copy !req
271. Just sit back and take
your embarrassment like a man.
Copy !req
272. Mommy, Virgil is being bad.
Punish him.
Copy !req
273. [bawling
Copy !req
274. Better?
Copy !req
275. Mommy, why you didn't
punish him? He's being bad.
Copy !req
276. Oh, he's not bad, honey,
he's just cranky.
Copy !req
277. Doesn't even know why.
Copy !req
278. Sometimes you have to let 'em
work through that crankiness.
Copy !req
279. See? All better now.
Copy !req
280. He's my good boy.
Copy !req
281. 'Oh, look at my..'
Copy !req
282. Now I see why you didn't
want to look at this.
Copy !req
283. She was so great
and now she's... gone.
Copy !req
284. She really knew
what made me tick.
Copy !req
285. thump thump
Copy !req
286. Hey! We have a doorbell,
you know?
Copy !req
287. You tease me.
Copy !req
288. - Yo, Richie. Get ready to move.
- Right, V.
Copy !req
289. Now, Thomas, old buddy..
It is you, Thomas, isn't it?
Copy !req
290. You can take a joke, right?
Copy !req
291. No! Jokes bad!
Copy !req
292. Well, then... how about
a psych act?
Copy !req
293. Now!
Copy !req
294. Let's take this outside.
Copy !req
295. crash
Copy !req
296. If he's gonna be like that,
I gotta get him out of here.
Copy !req
297. Yo, Thomas. Come and get me.
Copy !req
298. No! Not Thomas!
Copy !req
299. Thomas weak.
Copy !req
300. I hope this works.
Copy !req
301. Missed me.
Copy !req
302. zap
Copy !req
303. Maybe this wasn't
such a hot idea.
Copy !req
304. crash
Copy !req
305. Yeah, it's working, alright.
Copy !req
306. 'Just like with moms.'
Copy !req
307. What happened?
Copy !req
308. He just had a tantrum.
Copy !req
309. But he's feeling
much better, now.
Copy !req
310. Thomas never actually knew
he turned into a creature.
Copy !req
311. But now that
his parents are clued in
Copy !req
312. he's getting the best of care.
Copy !req
313. If you hadn't shown me
how to calm him down
Copy !req
314. I don't even
wanna think about it.
Copy !req
315. I'll come back soon, moms.
Promise.
Copy !req
316. Thanks. Thanks for everything.
Copy !req
317. 'For the longest time,
I missed my mother so much'
Copy !req
318. I forced myself
not to think about it.
Copy !req
319. But now I know that was wrong.
Copy !req
320. I've learned something
just recently..
Copy !req
321. that's very important.
Copy !req
322. My mother's physical being
may be gone
Copy !req
323. but her spirit is still
very much alive within me.
Copy !req
324. And it always will be.
Thank you.
Copy !req
