Who is it? Huh?
Hey, I'm Blade.
It's the coolest teen boy I've ever seen.
[grunting]
[honking]
[laughing]
Is, uh, Ellen around?
You m- [clearing throat] You mean, like Ellen,
as in my sister, Ellen?
I think so. Ellen Wright. She's blonde,
always wears a pink shirt
and green pants. Total hottie.
Total hottie.
Hmm. Everything, but the hottie part checks out.
Well, come on in, man.
Oh oh oh. Hang on. Is that Artichoke and Walnut?
Oh, I used to love this show.
Wait. Really? All my friends think
I'm a total dork for watching it.
No way Artichoke and Walnut is a classic.
Wait, wait. Is this the episode where they run around screaming
for, like, ten minutes straight?
Yeah. Well, you know, I mean, technically,
that's every episode, but yeah.
Isn't it so great?
OMG, is that Blade? Is he here?
All right, nice hanging with you, little dude.
Stay rad.
[sniffing]
I smell Booya Banana body spray. But is that him, or is it me?
[sniffing] It's him and me.
Know what? I say we look at this school anthem gig
as an opportunity.
Every band has to start somewhere.
Forget it, DeeDee.
There's just nothing that says rah rah about PS38.
I thought PS38 was rated
number one public middle school in the country.
I read so in magazine, it's why we moved to Radcliff.
Uh, Artur, it's a list of the schools
with the highest lice infections in the country.
Then my family made huge mistake.
Help us out here, Nate.
What? Sorry, guys.
I just met the dopest high schooler.
Huh? Huh. Oh, I got you. [laughing]
What's her name?
No, no, no, no, no, it's a dude. But here's the weird thing.
He's dating Ellen, my sister. I mean, can you believe that?
I don't know, Nate. Seems pretty normal to me.
And age appropriate.
Yeah, I see nothing wrong with that, bro.
I mean, even so, I better go check on him.
You know, make sure he's okay. Don't you think?
Uh, yeah?
Cool. Well, good talk. See you guys later.
Did Nate just ditch us to hang out
with his sister's boyfriend?
[Think We're Alone Now playing]
Your room is still kind of like a little girl's room, huh?
I really like how you're still in touch with your childhood.
[laughing]
Thanks, I guess. Um.
[thudding]
Nate, ah, what are you doing, ah?
Well, I mean I thought Blake might like to read
some of my comics.
Nate, this isn't a good time.
[laughing] You're super funny, little dude.
I wasn't half this good
at making fun of teachers when I was your age.
Well, I'll just be in the kitchen
drinking kombucha. [chuckles]
It's good for my colon.
Be there in a minute, babe.
So you see, formulas are your friends.
Well, uh, what if I want to be more than friends?
With formulas?
Hey, Blade!
There's a dead squirrel caught in that storm drain. Wanna see?
You know it.
[laughing]
[Think We're Alone Now playing]
That cloud kind of looks like a heart.
Yeah, and that cloud looks like a butt!
[laughing]
It really does.
[laughing]
[Think We're Alone Now playing]
[laughing]
[Think We're Alone Now playing]
Whoa!
[Think We're Alone Now playing]
Something has happened in the woods.
It's a cabin. [unintelligible]
I wanna speak to the manager.
- Hey, Blade. - Ah!
Check out these comics.
Whoa! Is that Cyber Billy: Issue Eight?
You know what's special about that one is
it has the incentive cover that only one copy ships
per every hundred comic store's order.
[gasping]
[groaning]
Blade, meet me in my bedroom now.
[laughing nervously]
This relationship is getting far too crowded.
You have to choose Blade. It's got to be me or Nate.
[stammering] Hey. Hey. Hey, what's up, man?
[sighing] I can't see you anymore.
[stammering] But, uh, uh, I thought we were bros.
No, i-it doesn't have to be this way.
Sorry, little dude.
You'll understand when you're older.
N- No. Don't you walk out that door.
[crying]
Why, Blade?! Why?!
