Gooby (2009) Movie Script
By the time you're 11,
you pretty much know
which places are good,
and which are bad.
Take my neighbourhood.
It's good. Very good.
Probably because I've
grown up here my whole life.
On one end,
there's hot dog park.
That's what my mom
and I called it.
We used to go there every
friday after school.
And on the other end,
there's the convenience store.
When I was really little,
my dad and I used to walk here
for the big sunday paper.
Then, there's chester street.
The best street
in the whole world.
And right here...
my house.
It's my cave fortress
against all the bad
things in the universe.
They say I have an
over active imagination.
But I don't think so,
I just see things
grown-ups don't.
I used to be scared of the
super electrified pterodactyls
that live in the quarry
just outside town.
But now, I know that's for kids.
If anything, they're living in
the woods just behind school.
The biggest threat
these days are blue,
they have two heads,
and they're not
from this planet.
I call them hoonies.
The way I figure it though...
as long as I'm in my safe place,
they can't get me...
except...
willy?
Willy!
Dad!
I didn't know you were...
bob. Jack dandridge.
Yeah, my partner rollie
brought up some final points...
willy?
Yeah, they're in...
the last pages.
Yeah?
Jack, we're going
to have to get these
down to the city
registry by 5:00.
Yeah, I'll do it on
the way to the office.
Big surprise.
Are you ready?
What's going on?
Close your eyes.
Okay.
Our new house, willy.
Our dream house.
You're kidding, right?
That moment,
I knew my whole world
had just fallen apart.
This has gone on
long enough, okay?
We're moving today!
But you're wrecking
all my stuff!
Unbelievable!
Six weeks we've been
dealing with this.
You're way too old
for this behaviour.
Way, way too old!
But those are my battle
plans and my models.
And this is my amulet of fire.
It keeps me safe from danger.
Okay, willy...
what's so terrible about moving?
Tell me.
You'll get mad.
Try me.
If we move into the new house,
bad things will happen.
Like hoonies.
For real.
Remember what
dr. Chapman said?
She said it's all hallucinations
and my over active imagination.
But when was the last time
she had to fight off
evil space monkeys?
Never!
Come on, little man,
let's go through it.
"The only thing to
fear is fear itself".
And?
"What my imagination creates
is within my control".
All right, so...
that being the case,
these...
uh...
can go...
in here.
And these can go...
but, those are the designs
for my super space cart!
Dad and I are going
to build it this fall.
And you'll get them back when
we move into the new house.
This house means a lot to us.
We're finally...
finally going to have
the life we always dreamed of.
It's not my dream.
Okay, well... oh.
What about him?
He used to help you
out a lot in the past.
Gooby?
Mom, I played with him
when I was practically a baby!
You think some toy I played
with when I was a baby
is going to help me now?
Help me out here,
willy, I'm trying my best.
Elise!
Yeah!
Hey, these guys are
almost done down here.
I've got to pop by the
office on the way over.
I may have to go to
baltimore again tomorrow.
Yes, okay.
Willy.
Look at me.
You're going to move
into a big, beautiful house,
and you're going to
go to a new school
and you're going to
make new friends, all right?
I don't know how
to make friends.
So it's a... it's a new
chapter for all of us.
We're all going to have
to make some changes.
All of us.
All right?
Trust me, it's going
to be wonderful.
Parents can say
that things are going to
be wonderful all they want,
but they don't really know.
I was leaving
the only safe place
I had known my whole life.
Come on, rollie,
you're the one who said he
was going to talk to the man.
Look... i've
got to go.
Wherever we were going,
I just couldn't get
rid of the feeling
that there were bad
things to come...
and we were never going
to be the same again.
What do you say we
check out the backyard?
Think we can fit a
pool back here or what?
Nice.
I like it when we go to the y.
If we have our own pool,
we don't need the y, do we?
Right?
And how about that?
That old shed would make
a pretty good fort, I'd say.
Forts are supposed
to be in a tree.
You build them yourself.
That's what you said.
And we will.
Willy...
buddy...
things change, okay?
But change...
is good.
Look, when joey's dad
and I started the business,
I mean, that was
a change, right?
And now this guy
wants to buy us up...
that's a change,
but that's good.
There's nothing strange
there, nothing at all.
What's with you anyway?
Hey there!
He only barks when there's
a change in the weather.
Looks like a pretty
nice day to me.
Yeah, well,
something's upset him.
Willy...
there she is.
Willy.
This is
mrs. Williams.
And how are you,
young master dandridge?
Mrs. williams is
going to look after you
in the afternoons.
Look after me?
Yeah, your mom's going
back to the law firm
full-time for a while.
Oh, but I'm sure willy and I
are going to become
the best of friends,
aren't we?
Like I said...
this house meant trouble.
Willy...
aw, come on, give me a break!
How old are you again?
Help me.
Please, help me to be safe.
What I had no way of knowing
was that back in my old house,
something really
weird was happening.
He had to go to
baltimore from boston
so we're not going to see
him till friday. c...
could you please hurry up?
I have an 11:00 o'clock meeting
and the teacher was
good enough to see us
after first bell, okay?
I'll take care of that, ma'am.
You tend to yourself.
Oh, uh...
okay, thanks.
First day of school.
It's not
so easy. Hmm?
I know.
They always teased me.
Teased...
teased and teased.
Sometimes, worse.
Wait. I know
I put two...
you and me are going to
get along, aren't we?
We can have it out
right now, boy,
if that's what you want.
What did you do?
I didn't do anything!
I will not tolerate lying.
Lying?
How come when either
of you ask me to...
tell the truth and I tell it,
you always tell me I'm lying?
I'm sorry,
mrs. Williams.
You! Move.
But I didn't do anything!
Of course, a new house
means a new school,
and a new school
is almost worse than hoonies.
Willy dandridge, boys and girls.
Now, willy,
you'll sit over there
between thomas
and kelsey.
He's weird!
Now, for the problem
on the board.
Over there...
that's colin meyer.
The most popular guy in school.
If you don't know that guy,
you're nobody.
And over there...
big bruce.
Where's your lunch-money, huh?
You really want
to avoid big bruce.
You better not be
trying to hide it.
Okay, first the cookies,
then my lunch.
I knew exactly
what was going on.
Obviously, there are
hoonies in my new house.
...it does this to
catch the small fish
which are its main food,
or simply to evade its enemies.
The loon's legs are so
far back on its body
that movement on land
is slow and awkward...
rule number one
when checking to
see if your house
really has evil, vicious,
two-headed aliens in it:
You have to be scientific,
and you have to have
the right equipment.
Okay.
Rule two...
be prepared for anything.
I know you're there.
I know you're there!
Okay...
I'm putting the rake down.
But no funny business.
Like I said,
no rake.
On the count of three, okay?
One...
two...
three.
But you're...
you're...
but...
but you're...
gooby?
Uh...
you guessed it!
I thought it would take
a lot longer than that.
Not...
not hoonies?
Hoonies? Aah!
Hoonies?
Aiee...!
- What's a hoonie?
- I'm telling you,
I saw something back there!
Coyotes last week;
Bears this week.
It wasn't my imagination!
Those crazy people next door!
Hit the deck!
Vernon!
Would you just go take a look!
It was big and it was furry,
but it wasn't a bear!
It's a good thing I've
come to save you, willy.
These new neighbours
of yours are crazy.
They think they see
monsters in their backyard!
But there are monsters
in their backyard.
You're right!
What in thunder...
what do you mean,
you've come to save me?
You asked for help, didn't you?
You mean you're it?
Oh... vernon!
You're the toy I played with
when I was practically a baby!
So, who better
than an old friend
to help out when
the road gets rocky?
Vernon!
Hah...
but... none of this
makes any sense.
You're supposed
to be a normal toy
about this big.
Heh-heh, yeah, but
when I'm like this,
we can have a lot
more fun. Eh?
When I'm at this size,
I can take care of any
trouble that comes along,
such as...
uh-h-uh!
Maybe we'd better
get you inside.
Come on.
...around central city.
I don't like the idea
of so many people
gathering together
here at a drive-in.
You never know what might
be lurking in the dark.
Don't be ridiculous!
There's nothing unusual,
strange, or unwanted, lurking.
That's where you're
wrong, maggie.
Go!
I believe there could still be
giant monsters on the loose.
Monsters that could eat a...
wow!
This is great!
Gooby...
this is fantastic!
Look at all this stuff!
Wow!
Hey!
That's my space cart!
Willy?
Uh...
wait! Wait!
Gooby! Gooby!
Gooby, come on, go!
Ow! Ow!
Are you all right?
Uh, fine, mrs. Williams! Ow! Ow!
Just... uh,
talking to aliens.
Your mother called.
She'll be home for dinner.
Okay! Okay.
Wah. Ugh. Whoo!
Definitely, next
time we do this,
we need to get a bigger closet
or a smaller me.
You've got one of those!
...monsters that
could eat us all
and destroy the entire city!
Oh-h-h, this is
great. Can I have it?
Please, please, please, please,
please, please, please,
please, please, please. Yes.
Gooby... gooby!
Sounds like snot.
Snot? What
sounds like snot?
My name.
You were young so
I can't complain,
but I always thought
it sounded like
great big gobs of snot.
Oof! Oh...
markers!
Wow.
I lo-o-ove markers!
Uh, gooby,
I don't think you should be...
I very much think
I should. Well, uh...
markers are about the
best thing in the world...
next, of course, to those...
window cookies.
This... is
you and me...
in a hot air balloon...
going away from the volcano.
It says everything's
going to be all right.
It's a masterpiece!
We need to hang it up somewhere.
Here we go.
W... n-no! No!
My dad was really mad
about putting these up in there.
In the closet?
He sounds like fun.
Um, how's about...
right there?
It's brilliant!
- Willy!
- Oh!
My mom.
But we just decided...
uh, just for now.
Wait! Whoa... don't move. Ow!
Most important of all, what?
Don't make a single sound.
Can't I...
so that would give us two weeks
at the resort on the bay,
and then we could
drive up the coast.
What?
Honey, I don't think
I'm going to be able
to do it right now.
Jack, I booked 10
days off of work.
Remember rollie covered
me on the baltimore trip?
Now, possibly the third
week of next month...
what the heck was that?
Uh... I think
it was maybe...
whoa... down the...
down the wrong pipe, buddy?
You need some water?
I'm okay...
I'm okay.
Are you going to be sick?
No, no.
Yes! Yes!
Willy wasn't feeling
well last night,
so he's just up in his
room sleeping, all right?
Not to worry!
He's not going to school?
So he really is sick?
He ought to be.
I found two empty
boxes of cookies
in the garbage this morning.
He must have eaten,
like, 50 cookies last night.
Now, when your
irish stew is cooked,
you want to make sure to pour
off the cooking liquid, the grease,
and pre-heat another sauce pot.
It does slightly thicken
with a little roux if you like.
Now, if you don't,
you've got to be careful...
okay, it sounds obvious,
but you've got
to be very careful
when trying to hide a giant
orange monster in your house.
First, and most important,
give him a place
where no one ever goes.
Ta-da!
What do you think?
Oh-h...
willy...
it's... great!
Yeah?
Oh, yes!
It's... fantastic.
100 percent!
What? What's that
over there? Huh?
Bye. What are you doing?
W-What am I, the cat?
I'm not staying here.
Why not?
It's dark;
There's no light;
It's dark...
yeah, but...
you have a
flashlight here, and...
my old lamp, so you
can turn on a light.
And...
snot?
Totally snot.
Peel the carrots.
Now the carrots are
going to give you...
some of the green stock with
the onion and the carrot.
But cut the carrots
nice and large
so you can use as
little meat as possible.
And make sure that gravy
is just as thin,
nice and thin brown
liquid as possible.
So that people will feel
that they've had a real meal
but you haven't actually...
are you even going to be
able to stand up in here?
Standing up's not important.
Ugh!
What's important
is n.s.a.i.
n.s.a.i.?
No snot about it.
The best part about it:
We'll be close to each other.
Well, yeah, but...
what about you making noise?
I mean, mom and dad's room is...
right over here.
Well...
I'll just move these boxes over.
Then I won't have
to go over there. Oh...
shhhhh!
Hey! Shhhh!
Sorry.
Oooh...
hey...
that's your dad.
He looks exactly like you.
And that's where he grew up,
and that's his house.
How do you know?
Not really important now.
I'm going to get my
paper and markers.
No, no, no, no, no!
Not a chance.
I'll get your papers
and markers. Oof!
You... stay here
and clean up, okay?
Ah...
eeehhh!
Gross!
What is it?
Broccoli.
Here, try this.
Here.
Ble-e-ech!
Barf-o-rama!
Brussels sprouts.
See?
You're right,
everything green is gross.
Quick, pass me one
of those hot dogs.
There.
You know...
I never did this before.
What, you've never
eaten a hot dog?
No, I mean...
mm-hmm...
making friends.
I've always been kind of...
I don't know...
awkward.
Awkward?
Didn't you come right out
even though you
thought I was a hoonie?
Do you remember what you said?
"Hi."
Brilliant!
You think you're not good
at making friends, that's all.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Ever seen this before?
Bah!
A-a-a-ah!
Oh, oh...
shh! Shh! Shh!
Shhhh! Shhhh!
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Shh! Shh!
And just when it seemed
like life was going to be great...
what walked in the door?
- Trouble. Big time.
- Boys and girls.
Boys and girls, please!
Thank you. As I'm sure
you already know,
mrs. Donnelly had her
baby girl on monday,
and you have a new teacher.
Mr. nerdlinger.
Me? Now?
Yes, you. Now.
It is so...
it... it...
uh...
huh.
I am sure that...
that... that you'll all
give mr. Nerdlinger the
same courtesy and respect
that you gave
mrs. Donnelly.
So, they're all yours.
Are we done?
Uh...
off we go.
Uh...
thank you.
Ever have one of those moments
when you realize
right off the bat
that your teacher
is really weird?
This was one of those moments.
Well...
I am mr. Nerdlinger,
and I know what you're thinking:
"That names sounds
awfully familiar."
I'm sure we all recognize
flesherton fish...
from the books of the same name?
"Flesherton fish
goes to market"?
"Flesherton fish
beyond the sea"?
"Flesherton fish and
ahab make friends"?
I wrote those books.
Those are my books.
Hands up, those
who have read them.
Hands up those who
have heard of them.
Well, not everyone
can be famous.
All right.
Let's proceed with
our first lesson.
Well, if mrs. Dandridge
thinks she's got critters,
then she's got
critters. You!
Outside this afternoon.
Mr. james is going to be
spraying through the house.
But I... I have to
change my clothes.
Well, be quick about it!
Honestly, I don't
know what to do...
gooby? Gooby!
Gooby!
Ooh-wee!
Aah!
Whoa!
Whew! Huh!
Hey...
I didn't know you could do that.
Me neither.
I had to do something.
They were poking at the floor.
They're checking the entire
house for bugs and rats.
We've got to get
you out of here.
No kidding.
I'm scared of bugs and rats!
Hey, where are you
going to sleep?
In my own room.
Oh, I don't think this is
a good idea anymore.
No one ever comes in here.
You have it all to yourself.
Look, you have your own markers
and drawing pads,
and marshmallow cookies.
And here, electricity,
so you can use this.
And you can even have my tv.
What?
What about the hoonies?
Mm... I don't know.
I mean, since you got here,
we haven't really
seen any, have we?
Here.
One for you, one for me.
You know, I always wanted
someone to talk to on these.
Goob... you've
got to stay here.
And I've got to stay
in my own room.
Remember what I said
about grown-ups not
understanding stuff?
Willy!
I've got to go.
Goob...
do you think you can
be strong about this?
I don't want to be strong.
Well, sure you do.
I'm strong, so...
that means you can be strong.
Right?
See ya.
It wasn't perfect,
but I knew that if my parents
weren't paying attention to me,
they sure wouldn't be paying
attention to the backyard.
Hmm.
Hmm...
hmm?
Hmm...
so, now I had gooby
taken care of...
and I had a pretty good idea
I had the whole new school
thing under control too.
Hey, bird brain!
Ah!
You've got to pay the toll!
The what?
The toll. See,
this is my hallway.
You've got to pay to go through.
But I don't have any
m... aw, that's too bad.
After school tomorrow then.
And, uh, just to make
sure you don't forget,
let's have a drink on it, huh?
Tickets for the
halloween dance...
mm.
Oof! Oh-h!
I won't forget,
dummy, don't you.
Willy!
Are you okay?
Willy!
What are you doing?
This you've got to see!
Hey, come on. Wait.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait!
Close your eyes.
Cover your eyes. Cover
your eyes. Come on...
willy... you might
want to mind yourself.
Okay, okay.
Okay!
Are you okay?
Okay.
All right, you ready?
One...
two... three!
Ta-daaaaaaa!
Gooby? Gooby...
uh, no, no, you can...
go on, go on, go on...
ta-daaaaaa!
My space cart!
Whoa.
I built it with just four
fingers on each paw.
Wait, look.
My drawings worked?
You're the best space cart
drawer in the world!
Whoa.
Hey, where are the shocks?
We don't need shocks once
we get a big, comfy cushion.
Huh?
Me!
I'm going to be the cushion.
I am the cushion!
I don't think this is so smart.
I mean, shouldn't
we test this thing?
Maybe we should go on a...
smaller hill.
Huh! We don't need
a smaller hill.
I figure if we pretend
to be not so scared,
then eventually we'll be brave.
Pretty smart, huh? Yeah.
Are you ready?
One...
two, three!
Whee-ee!
You oiled the
wheels, didn't you?
I put a whole can on it.
A whole can?
Do you hear something?
Sounds like...
traffi-i-i-ic!
So here we were,
flying over traffic
in front of all sorts of
people, including my teacher
who we knew was obsessed
with being famous.
This was going to cause trouble.
Oh...
you see what I mean, willy?
Sometimes, you just
have to let it rip!
Gooby... goob?
Goob?
Huh?
Goob? There's a button
on the side.
Hmm.
You have to press it.
Willy?
Willy, is that you?
Yeah.
I've been thinking.
What about?
The space cart.
It's like, well...
I was scared at first,
but then I was okay.
And at the end,
it felt great, because
I'd been scared at first.
I don't know.
I guess being scared
is just about not knowing stuff.
Is that when the hoonies come?
Yeah.
That's when the hoonies come.
You know,
since I've been here,
we haven't seen any.
Yeah, I've been
thinking about that too.
Maybe I'm not so sure about them
being real anymore.
G'night, willy.
G'night, goob.
It seems...
absurd
that we have to teach
young people about...
lewis carroll,
as if he's such a great writer.
Oh sure, his book, his one book
became so, so famous.
"Alice in wonderland".
I've written three books,
and done my own illustrations.
Iewis carroll didn't do
his own illustrations.
The man couldn't draw a stick.
It's just absurd.
Psst!
Psst! Willy.
Come on.
Come on, billy.
Be a real man, okay?
Come on.
Mr. dandridge.
Do we have a problem?
No. No, sir.
Billy. Psst! Billy.
Go away!
Mr. dandridge!
I...
speak up,
mr. Dandridge!
I'm sure we'd all like to hear
what you have to say
on the purported genius
of mr. Carroll.
He was what?
A fuzzy, orange monster?
Children!
This is not funny.
We all know there
is no such thing
as a fuzzy, orange...
monster,
and... and anyone who
saw one would be...
famous.
Give me that paper!
The four of you boys
will be staying after school
for two whole weeks!
Yoo-hoo!
Guess who!
Oh man, I'm going
to murdolate you!
Hello!
Wow, what was that about?
You know, I had to write out:
"There is no such thing as
fuzzy, orange monsters" 60 times?
And now, the two
coolest guys in school
whom I wanted to be my friends,
hate my guts!
I never had a detention
in my life before!
No such thing as
fuzzy, orange monsters?
Gooby, what made you think
you could come to my school?
What... what made you
think you could come out?
I was out of
marshmallow cookies.
Don't worry.
I was careful.
No one saw me.
You mean...
that I have a detention
for the next two weeks
because of your
marshmallow cookies?
Yeah, but... uh...
w-willy...
let's get something straight.
I was mad at gooby,
but I knew I'd get over it.
The only problem was,
gooby didn't know that.
And that's when he
got his great idea.
Attention, shoppers,
we have scary specials
and ghoulish good deals
on all halloween candy
for the next 30 minutes.
Are you okay?
Uh...
it's...
it's hot. Hot.
Water! Water, yeah.
Ew.
Gooby! Gooby, what
are you doing?
Uh, shopping.
Do you know this
stuff? It's fantastic.
The army guy makes tonnes of it!
Gooby, this is
not... shopping!
When you shop, you're
supposed to buy things,
not eat them off the shelf!
Well, I needed cookies
and you didn't seem like you
were going to help me anyway,
so I figured I'd help myself.
Do people know all
this stuff exists in here?
Gooby, people are
going to see you!
You have to leave now.
You can't tell me what to do.
Huh? You're not the boss of me.
I am too the boss of you!
Oh, says who?
Says who? Well,
who took care of you
since his second birthday?
Who... who
named you gooby
because he couldn't
say "good bear"?
Who fed you pez every day?
Who washed you in orange juice
the time you fell in the toilet?
Who... who took you and...
you thought I was a bear?
The point is that...
the point is I can
do whatever I want.
If I want to eat all
the cereal in the world,
I'm going to.
Gooby, you're not
going to eat that stuff.
Says who?
You are,
because what you're
eating is cat food.
Ooh... ugh-h...
goob, the point is
that people who
steal go to jail.
Yeah well, I'm not
people, I'm a monster.
So there!
Goob, I'm a person!
Oh, you mean you could
go to jail if I was stealing?
Hey kid!
What are you doing?
Uh, I...
don't worry, I'll save you!
They'll never take us alive!
Ugh!
What the...
every time
your eyes meet mine
heaven seems to be
just a little bit closer
just a little bit closer
down here
every day I find some way
for you and I to be
just a little bit closer
just a little bit closer
say cheese.
Every time
your eyes meet mine
ugh!
Heaven seems to be
just a little bit closer
oh, hi mom!
Just a little bit closer
down here
every time
your eyes meet mine
heaven seems to be
just a little bit closer
just a little bit closer
gooby...
gooby, what are you doing?
Come on!
Gooby? What?
Gooby! There's a
whole section of candy
that looks just like me!
Hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah
halle-lujah
oh... oh.
Goob, what are
you talking about?
These... these
aren't you,
they're... they're... I think
they look very much like me!
Mmm... delicious!
Oh...
but these are...
chewy. They're
goobychews!
Goobychews?
Goobychews!
Are you nuts? They're really
good. They're really good!
- Mmm...
- hey, kid.
Stop right there!
What are you doing?
Now, come on!
Every time
your eyes meet mine
heaven seems to be
just a little bit closer
just a little bit closer
what? Whoa!
Every time
your eyes meet mine
heaven seems to be
just a little bit closer
whoa!
Just a little bit closer
I've got you
now... whoa!
Clean-up in the produce
section, please.
Are you all right, young man?
Clean-up in the produce section.
Ow!
Come on! Let's
go... go...
let's go!
Go, go!
Give me a break.
Jack, you could have called!
Well, of course he's ready.
The least you...
okay.
No.
Okay.
One of the coolest
things about friendship
is the stuff you
can solve together.
Totally cool, isn't it?
I don't know why I
didn't think of this earlier.
I still don't get it, willy.
What makes today any
different from any other day?
It's october 31st!
Come on.
Wow!
Look at that guy!
Ridiculous!
I'll get the tickets.
You stay here.
Uh-huh.
Don't move, okay?
Huh.
Hey, birdbrain...
where you been?
You owe me four days
plus interest.
What are you looking at?
Oh...
good costume, mister.
My uncle's got one just like it.
Can your uncle do this?
Willy! The hot dog peed.
I've got to go.
Maybe there's people
you just don't need
to say "hi" to.
Gooby, that was amazing!
Hey, bainbridge.
Oh!
Are those the cool kids
you got in detention with?
Gooby, don't!
Come on.
They already hate me. No!
Maybe they just need a
second chance to be friendly.
Huh?
What'd you do to big bruce?
That was great!
Is this
your... dad?
Yeah.
Dad, this is colin.
Hey, mr. Bainbridge.
So, uh, what're
you going to see?
Oh, we're going to go see
the scary... "big adventure".
"Big adventure"?
That's for babies!
We're checking out
"death action 3000...
part ii."
Really?
Absolutely!
See you around.
Later, mr. Bainbridge.
Oh, that other film
looks really exciting.
We wouldn't be able
to get in anyway.
Why not?
Sorry, for this movie,
you need to be
accompanied by an adult.
But my dad's parking the car,
and he said to get
the tickets first.
Oh yeah?
Oh, well, all right then.
Scram, kid.
I've got better things
to do with my time
and there's a line-up
behind... hold on!
I'm in charge of these boys,
my fine young ticket man!
I think I can decide what
kind of movies these boys,
and my boy, willy
here, needs to see.
And if they want to see a film
full of gratuitous
violence and gore,
then I say, let 'er rip.
Bainbridge,
your dad is very cool.
That was so sweet!
Well, we got to go.
Thanks a lot,
mr. Bainbridge.
Willy, your dad's all right.
We'll see you around.
Maybe... you
could join us,
play soccer at school?
Sure. That'd
be great.
See you around, then.
Did you hear that?
What?
You know, I really
kind of liked that.
Liked what?
I liked being your dad.
All the love in the world
has found us
all the love in the world
surrounds us
all the love in the world
when I am with you
I can say you're good for me
I can say we're meant to be
these are only words
that I can say
you are the best of me
all I know is what I feel
all I know is what is real
where have you gone
where have you been
you make me right
you make me everything
where have you gone
where have you been
you make it right
you make it everything
all the love in the world
all the love in the world
oh! Beat
your record.
All the love in the world
when I am with you
now, pay up, or go to jail.
That's final.
Final, eh?
Fine.
Final!
All the love in the world
colin!
I guess it never
really occurred to me
what gooby did when
no one was home.
But because he was
home that day...
well, that's when
the trouble started.
Ah... oomphtah!
Mm-mmm! Hah.
You've reached...
argh!
Please leave a message
after the beep.
Hello, this
is mrs. Deacon
calling from willy's school.
We've had an accident
here on the soccer field...
oh! And... and there's
been a... a head injury
a-and we think...
oh.
Whoa...
ah! Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa...
oh!
Ah... ah...
yeah.
No, not... no, no,
no, no. Not right now.
Look, I just got a call,
I have an emergency
I have to attend to.
I'm out the door in seconds.
No.
Yes.
All right,
look: No; Yes;
And not right now.
Okay, what's the emergency?
Oh...
now this was real trouble.
See, gooby had heard
my dad on the phone
talking about an emergency
and just assumed he was talking
about the emergency at school.
How was he to know that
my dad was reacting
to something totally different,
and hadn't even heard
the call from the school?
The final result:
Gooby wandering around a place
where gooby should not be.
Looks to me like we don't
have enough rebars...
uh... carl?
Hello!
Gooby!
Gooby?
Okay.
Gooby?
Goob?
Goob?
Willy.
What the heck are you
doing out here so late?
I... I was...
my bike...
well...
well, don't just stand
here, put it away!
Dad, today at school...
just put it in the garage.
Gooby?
Gooby?
Ah...
gooby?
They think I'm upstairs
putting on my pyjamas.
Willy, I'm torn.
Hmm...
it's not that bad.
Yeah well, it hurts.
Come on, don't be such a baby.
Oh.
So your head's okay.
My head?
Yeah, well after what
happened at school...
ow! Today.
How do you know about
what happened at school?
Well, I sort
of... overheard.
See, I thought your dad was...
yeah, my dad.
A lot he cares.
If I were hanging over
a 50-storey building
he'd still answer his cellphone.
Trust me, you don't
want to be hanging
over a 50-storey building.
Colin got beaned
with a soccer ball.
Colin?
Yeah.
I had to rush him to
the nurse's office, so...
they made me stay with
him until his mom got there.
I skipped the whole afternoon.
There we go.
Hmm.
Now. You're
going to tell me
what you were doing
in my dad's car, right?
Marshmallow cookies,
or out of comic books?
Uh, it's not really
important now.
Wait a minute.
Oh, uh, the, uh...
this looks like plaster.
Uh...
they were building
this tall building,
and, uh...
goob,
you didn't go with my
dad to work, did you?
Uh, just this afternoon...
since this afternoon?
Well, there was this
thingamawhat, and I had to jump,
and then I landed in this
goop and then I cut my arm
and... goob! You're
supposed to wait
until I come out
to the backyard!
Well, you don't come out
to the backyard anymore!
You're always playing soccer
and hanging out with
your new friends.
That's not true.
"Don't worry about gooby,
you just leave him in
the shed day and night
with his mouldy old comics,
"and his ratty old sleeping
bag..." you're a liar!
And we don't even draw
the hoonies anymore!
Hoonies?
There's no such
thing as hoonies!
They're for little kids!
Well, if there's no
such thing as hoonies,
then maybe I should go.
Well then, maybe you should.
Especially if all you're
going to do is cause trouble.
Yeah? Well,
maybe I will!
Good!
Good!
Yeah!
Bye.
Bye! Bye?
All alone tonight
heart without a home tonight
now I long for yesterday
the world's come
crashing down
love's destruction
all around
all from words
I didn't mean to say
goob?
Goob, I've got cookies.
Goob...
I've been thinking
I said some things
I didn't want to say...
goob?
Goob?
Gooby?
Goob?
I used to be the light
in your eye
I used to be the reason
for your smile
I used to know
that I belonged
somewhere inside your love
on and on...
"and so flesherton fish
swam and swam,
looking for his friend ahab,
whom he hadn't seen
since the shark brothers,
gerald and juan, had called
him a cowardly jellyfish.
'Oh, I wish my fins
were stronger
so I could swim faster.
Where are you, ahab?
"Where are you?'
screamed flesherton..."
...and finds me
with you
I'm living over
over and over
again and again
jack?
Mm-hmm?
We need to talk about willy.
What about him?
Yeah, he was doing
really well there for a while.
And?
Yeah, it was... it was
like he was a different kid.
There's no more alien
people coming after him.
And then the past
couple of days,
he's just...
changed.
Well, honey,
you know, he's young
and, uh, kids go through phases.
He's not as young
as you think, jack.
Willy!
Gooby!
- Ow!
- Goob!
Gooby, the tree!
Wah!
You're back.
I sure am!
Come on.
Whew!
Oh-h...
so I guess you're not
mad at me anymore, eh?
I was never mad at you.
Where have you been?
I went out to find
something you need to see.
A secret.
What are you talking about?
We've got to go
somewhere tomorrow, willy,
you and me.
Tomorrow.
After school.
Do you trust me, willy?
I trust you with anything.
And so gooby and I
went off on our
voyage of discovery.
What I had no way of knowing
was that this was a journey
that was going to
change me forever.
Willy?
Willy?
Jack?
What's going on?
Where's willy?
Willy!
Willy?
Jack!
Okay, don't panic.
Let's see where they lead.
See? I told you
the train tracks
ended somewhere near here.
Goob, I think we should go back.
Willy... we
need to go on.
What?
Willy.
Does it look familiar?
Wow.
This was where my dad
lived when he was a boy?
I think I know why
I came here, willy.
I'm supposed to show you this.
Thank you.
The police have assured
me they will contact us
the moment they know anything.
That's not good enough!
Elise, we can't panic.
Look... there's probably a
perfectly rational explanation
for what we found out there.
I mean, he's got friends.
So who does he know?
Well, what does he do all day?
Oh...
hey, pull up over here.
You see a light?
Oof.
Looks like there were...
six different apartments.
I wonder which one was my dad's.
Hey, cool!
It's like a secret doorway.
Willy!
Did you hear something?
Circle the block.
Willy!
Willy!
Gooby!
Willy!
Willy!
Oh...
gooby!
Oh no, willy!
I can't reach you.
Gooby!
Aaah! I can't reach you, willy!
Gooby! Gooby,
go get help!
Oh...
go get help!
Yes.
Yes, this is jack dandridge.
Hang on a second.
1435 sullivan, huh?
Okay.
What?
I've got to go.
You stay here, all right?
Are you out of your
mind? I'm coming!
Elise, you...
you've got to...
you've got to stay
here, all right?
They, uh, want you
here in case they call.
I've got to go.
I'll be back.
Willy?
Dad!
Dad!
Oh my god!
Uh...
willy, hang on!
Oh...!
Willy!
No! Hang on, willy!
Dad...
willy, go up!
Willy!
Grab my hand!
Ugh! Whoa!
No, hang on!
Hold it right there, pal.
Police! What do you
think you're doing?
What are you doing?
My son is in danger!
Get down there.
Buddy, hang on.
Willy, hang on!
Hang on! Willy...
look at me.
Look at me.
Buddy,
I need you to trust me, willy.
When I tell you to,
you have to let go
and reach.
No, no...
you've got to
do it. Willy...
trust me.
All right?
Now, I'm going to tell you.
One...
two...
reach!
Reach, willy.
Reach!
Willy!
Come on!
Let's go home, willy.
Is the boy all right?
He's fine.
Why wouldn't you call
the fire department
before you called me?
Sir, we didn't call anyone.
We didn't even know
the kid was in here
until we saw your car
screaming down sullivan.
Buddy, follow the
policemen down.
I'll be down in a minute.
W... what the...?
I was the one that called you.
I used willy's cellphone.
I brought him here.
What...
I'm gooby.
The crane operator
said that he saw you...
I hurt myself.
It's okay now.
But h... how...?
This is your secret
room, isn't it?
Where you came as a little boy.
How can you know that?
Most grown-ups forget
things like that.
Actually, most grown-ups
forget all sorts of things.
The three trees by
the railroad tracks...
my dad and I were
going to build a fort.
He promised me
we'd do it together.
We never did.
He was always so busy...
working.
Trying to make things
better for us.
A boy doesn't need things.
A boy needs a dad.
What have I done?
What is this?
A plan.
Made by a little boy, a long...
long, long time ago.
- Where is he?
- What happened?
He's fine. He's fine.
Fine. Then, I
need to see him.
And you will, honey,
he's coming in.
But before he does...
there's something I
need to talk to you about.
A someone.
He's fine and you never called?
What were you thinking?
Do you have any idea what
I've been going through here?
Elise...
we let him go, jack.
Do you realize that?
Our little boy, we let him go
for... for...
for this...
for this house.
For these things.
Do you realize how
crazy that sounds?
We don't need all these things.
We need to...
change.
And I need to be the
first one to change.
And I will.
There's something I
need to talk to you about.
Okay? Look...
I need you to promise me
that you're going to stay calm.
Why? What happened?
You said he was fine.
He is fine.
But you've got to promise me
that you're going to stay calm.
Willy?
Mom...
there's somebody
I want you to meet.
Hi!
Oh my god!
Absolutely...
any time, rollie.
All right.
Well, it's official, guys.
Rollie's cousin
is a full partner,
and I am on sabbatical.
I've got to warn you, though,
it will be tight
for a little while.
Dad, gooby says
to make sure to get
pressure-treated wood.
You know what? He's
absolutely right.
Heh. Are you
okay, honey?
Mm-hmm.
No, but we won't use
paint-ready on the porch
so this is perfect.
Hey! Hey!
What about this?
Look! Isn't it great?
Oh, and they've
got 'em over there,
they've got hundreds of them.
It's a swing!
A swing!
You just swing back and forth,
hang it over a tree.
And what about these
they've got?
They've got monkey bars.
You can climb up and...
fantastic!
Uh, he kind of has a problem
with the "not letting
people see him" thing.
...where's the
mountains?
Rollie!
There you are, huh?
You crazy nut.
This is my partner, folks!
Rollie fowler!
We're promoting our new
architecture firm...
dandridge, fowler and fowler.
Rollie thought it would be
fun for the kids to dress up.
Let's hand out some
cards to the folks, rollie.
You've got that right, jack.
Where are the cameras?
The cameras! The
cameras! The cameras!
Take this.
Please... call.
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Move.
Move.
Whoa!
Could you move, please?
I need a camera.
Camera...
camera!
Back of the line...
let me through!
Let me through!
This picture
- will make me famous.
- Excuse me, sir?
Uh, uh, sir...
but, sir...
not now! Go away!
Go away!
Uh... uh...
okay, what's happening?
What's going on?
What? What? What...
you fools!
Put me down!
Put me down! I'm trying
to get a picture,
a very important picture here!
You morons!
Get gooby to the car
right now. I'm trying to get
the picture of my life!
I can't get my picture!
Jack, I-I think
that's willy's teacher.
You're taking away my moment!
Come on, let's go! Maybe
we should think about
putting willy in private
school next year.
What do you say we go pay for
the rest of that wood, huh? Yeah.
What are you people doing?
My picture!
Eeh?
You're k... you're k...
hello.
I'm, uh...
sure you're all familiar
with the "flesherton fish"
series of books...
yeah, but that doesn't mean
that you can just
come in here like that!
Just... my room...
and... my school...
and...
look, I know I'm being
sort of a pain, but...
gooby?
Gooby?
Gooby!
Gooby?
Gooby!
Oh, come on.
Gooby!
Well, see, the
budget's pretty tight,
but I was hoping to build
one of these for the new baby.
Willy!
Goob, what are you doing?
Where have you been?
Willy, do you remember
what you said to me
the first night in the shed?
What are you talking about?
You said, "you're strong...
that means I'm strong too".
Remember?
Do you think you can be strong?
This is the standard
size right here.
But this is, like...
no. No.
I was wrong about that.
But...
we need to be together, goob.
Hey...
it's all right now.
You have to stay.
You have to be strong, willy.
I don't want to be strong.
I love you, gooby.
I love you too, willy.
Don't forget.
I won't...
i won't forget.
Hmm?
Excuse me.
Is this yours?
I think someone dropped him.
But I didn't drop anything.
Well...
will you do me a favour then?
Will you take him?
He's a really good friend.
His name is gooby.
I think he needs a new home.
He's funny.
I like him. Thanks.
Take care of him, okay?
Willy! Willy!
You got gooby?
Gooby went home, dad.
I love you, willy.
Let's go home.
All right, guys, this fort is
a family construction job,
so we need to learn
the basics of construction...
the final and most
important rule
of having a big,
fuzzy orange monster:
Realizing what you leave behind.
What I mean is:
Gooby may have gone on,
but he left me with
all sorts of stuff.
Like how to build a space cart,
the best way to go
grocery shopping,
and how to defeat the hoonies.
And... how to
be a friend.
Oh, and he gave me
something else as well.
He gave me back my dad.
And maybe because of that
I realized that when
it comes to family,
where we belong isn't a place,
it's with each other.
mijo corporation
it's almost like I'm playing
lost and found with you
I'm nobody when I'm not
hanging around with you
when you're not with me
I've got a little problem
I tend to disappear
I'm so full of doubt
the sun is hiding out
I'm nowhere when
you're not here
a disappearing act
and baby it's an odd one
make some magic
with your smile
and there under the tree
a shining me you'll see
if you stay around
for a while
I'm not visible it's a fact
though risible it's no act
it's really true
invisible without you
it's really true
invisible without you
ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah-ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah!
What? Gee.
Well, I thought
that was pretty good.
All the love in the world
has found us
all the love in the world
surrounds us
all the love in the world
when I am with you
I can say you're good for me
I could say
we're meant to be
these are only words
that I can say
you are the best of me
all I know is what I feel
all I know is what is real
standing right before me
I can see
you are the best of me
all the love in the world
I see it
all the love in the world
I feel it
all the love in the world
when I am with you
all the love in the world
has found us
all the love in the world
surrounds us
all the love in the world
just me and you
you and I
have made it through
you for me and me for you
you make me strong
you give me wings to fly
you are the best of me
from the darkness
of the night
you're the dream
that came to light
now the moon and stars above
don't seem so far away
you are the best of me
all the love in the world
I see it
all the love in the world
I feel it
all the love in the world
when I am with you
all the love in the world
has found us
all the love in the world
surrounds us
all the love in the world
just me and you
when I think of you and I
I see a world so unified
when two hearts become one
and I can feel yours
beat inside of mine...
you pretty much know
which places are good,
and which are bad.
Take my neighbourhood.
It's good. Very good.
Probably because I've
grown up here my whole life.
On one end,
there's hot dog park.
That's what my mom
and I called it.
We used to go there every
friday after school.
And on the other end,
there's the convenience store.
When I was really little,
my dad and I used to walk here
for the big sunday paper.
Then, there's chester street.
The best street
in the whole world.
And right here...
my house.
It's my cave fortress
against all the bad
things in the universe.
They say I have an
over active imagination.
But I don't think so,
I just see things
grown-ups don't.
I used to be scared of the
super electrified pterodactyls
that live in the quarry
just outside town.
But now, I know that's for kids.
If anything, they're living in
the woods just behind school.
The biggest threat
these days are blue,
they have two heads,
and they're not
from this planet.
I call them hoonies.
The way I figure it though...
as long as I'm in my safe place,
they can't get me...
except...
willy?
Willy!
Dad!
I didn't know you were...
bob. Jack dandridge.
Yeah, my partner rollie
brought up some final points...
willy?
Yeah, they're in...
the last pages.
Yeah?
Jack, we're going
to have to get these
down to the city
registry by 5:00.
Yeah, I'll do it on
the way to the office.
Big surprise.
Are you ready?
What's going on?
Close your eyes.
Okay.
Our new house, willy.
Our dream house.
You're kidding, right?
That moment,
I knew my whole world
had just fallen apart.
This has gone on
long enough, okay?
We're moving today!
But you're wrecking
all my stuff!
Unbelievable!
Six weeks we've been
dealing with this.
You're way too old
for this behaviour.
Way, way too old!
But those are my battle
plans and my models.
And this is my amulet of fire.
It keeps me safe from danger.
Okay, willy...
what's so terrible about moving?
Tell me.
You'll get mad.
Try me.
If we move into the new house,
bad things will happen.
Like hoonies.
For real.
Remember what
dr. Chapman said?
She said it's all hallucinations
and my over active imagination.
But when was the last time
she had to fight off
evil space monkeys?
Never!
Come on, little man,
let's go through it.
"The only thing to
fear is fear itself".
And?
"What my imagination creates
is within my control".
All right, so...
that being the case,
these...
uh...
can go...
in here.
And these can go...
but, those are the designs
for my super space cart!
Dad and I are going
to build it this fall.
And you'll get them back when
we move into the new house.
This house means a lot to us.
We're finally...
finally going to have
the life we always dreamed of.
It's not my dream.
Okay, well... oh.
What about him?
He used to help you
out a lot in the past.
Gooby?
Mom, I played with him
when I was practically a baby!
You think some toy I played
with when I was a baby
is going to help me now?
Help me out here,
willy, I'm trying my best.
Elise!
Yeah!
Hey, these guys are
almost done down here.
I've got to pop by the
office on the way over.
I may have to go to
baltimore again tomorrow.
Yes, okay.
Willy.
Look at me.
You're going to move
into a big, beautiful house,
and you're going to
go to a new school
and you're going to
make new friends, all right?
I don't know how
to make friends.
So it's a... it's a new
chapter for all of us.
We're all going to have
to make some changes.
All of us.
All right?
Trust me, it's going
to be wonderful.
Parents can say
that things are going to
be wonderful all they want,
but they don't really know.
I was leaving
the only safe place
I had known my whole life.
Come on, rollie,
you're the one who said he
was going to talk to the man.
Look... i've
got to go.
Wherever we were going,
I just couldn't get
rid of the feeling
that there were bad
things to come...
and we were never going
to be the same again.
What do you say we
check out the backyard?
Think we can fit a
pool back here or what?
Nice.
I like it when we go to the y.
If we have our own pool,
we don't need the y, do we?
Right?
And how about that?
That old shed would make
a pretty good fort, I'd say.
Forts are supposed
to be in a tree.
You build them yourself.
That's what you said.
And we will.
Willy...
buddy...
things change, okay?
But change...
is good.
Look, when joey's dad
and I started the business,
I mean, that was
a change, right?
And now this guy
wants to buy us up...
that's a change,
but that's good.
There's nothing strange
there, nothing at all.
What's with you anyway?
Hey there!
He only barks when there's
a change in the weather.
Looks like a pretty
nice day to me.
Yeah, well,
something's upset him.
Willy...
there she is.
Willy.
This is
mrs. Williams.
And how are you,
young master dandridge?
Mrs. williams is
going to look after you
in the afternoons.
Look after me?
Yeah, your mom's going
back to the law firm
full-time for a while.
Oh, but I'm sure willy and I
are going to become
the best of friends,
aren't we?
Like I said...
this house meant trouble.
Willy...
aw, come on, give me a break!
How old are you again?
Help me.
Please, help me to be safe.
What I had no way of knowing
was that back in my old house,
something really
weird was happening.
He had to go to
baltimore from boston
so we're not going to see
him till friday. c...
could you please hurry up?
I have an 11:00 o'clock meeting
and the teacher was
good enough to see us
after first bell, okay?
I'll take care of that, ma'am.
You tend to yourself.
Oh, uh...
okay, thanks.
First day of school.
It's not
so easy. Hmm?
I know.
They always teased me.
Teased...
teased and teased.
Sometimes, worse.
Wait. I know
I put two...
you and me are going to
get along, aren't we?
We can have it out
right now, boy,
if that's what you want.
What did you do?
I didn't do anything!
I will not tolerate lying.
Lying?
How come when either
of you ask me to...
tell the truth and I tell it,
you always tell me I'm lying?
I'm sorry,
mrs. Williams.
You! Move.
But I didn't do anything!
Of course, a new house
means a new school,
and a new school
is almost worse than hoonies.
Willy dandridge, boys and girls.
Now, willy,
you'll sit over there
between thomas
and kelsey.
He's weird!
Now, for the problem
on the board.
Over there...
that's colin meyer.
The most popular guy in school.
If you don't know that guy,
you're nobody.
And over there...
big bruce.
Where's your lunch-money, huh?
You really want
to avoid big bruce.
You better not be
trying to hide it.
Okay, first the cookies,
then my lunch.
I knew exactly
what was going on.
Obviously, there are
hoonies in my new house.
...it does this to
catch the small fish
which are its main food,
or simply to evade its enemies.
The loon's legs are so
far back on its body
that movement on land
is slow and awkward...
rule number one
when checking to
see if your house
really has evil, vicious,
two-headed aliens in it:
You have to be scientific,
and you have to have
the right equipment.
Okay.
Rule two...
be prepared for anything.
I know you're there.
I know you're there!
Okay...
I'm putting the rake down.
But no funny business.
Like I said,
no rake.
On the count of three, okay?
One...
two...
three.
But you're...
you're...
but...
but you're...
gooby?
Uh...
you guessed it!
I thought it would take
a lot longer than that.
Not...
not hoonies?
Hoonies? Aah!
Hoonies?
Aiee...!
- What's a hoonie?
- I'm telling you,
I saw something back there!
Coyotes last week;
Bears this week.
It wasn't my imagination!
Those crazy people next door!
Hit the deck!
Vernon!
Would you just go take a look!
It was big and it was furry,
but it wasn't a bear!
It's a good thing I've
come to save you, willy.
These new neighbours
of yours are crazy.
They think they see
monsters in their backyard!
But there are monsters
in their backyard.
You're right!
What in thunder...
what do you mean,
you've come to save me?
You asked for help, didn't you?
You mean you're it?
Oh... vernon!
You're the toy I played with
when I was practically a baby!
So, who better
than an old friend
to help out when
the road gets rocky?
Vernon!
Hah...
but... none of this
makes any sense.
You're supposed
to be a normal toy
about this big.
Heh-heh, yeah, but
when I'm like this,
we can have a lot
more fun. Eh?
When I'm at this size,
I can take care of any
trouble that comes along,
such as...
uh-h-uh!
Maybe we'd better
get you inside.
Come on.
...around central city.
I don't like the idea
of so many people
gathering together
here at a drive-in.
You never know what might
be lurking in the dark.
Don't be ridiculous!
There's nothing unusual,
strange, or unwanted, lurking.
That's where you're
wrong, maggie.
Go!
I believe there could still be
giant monsters on the loose.
Monsters that could eat a...
wow!
This is great!
Gooby...
this is fantastic!
Look at all this stuff!
Wow!
Hey!
That's my space cart!
Willy?
Uh...
wait! Wait!
Gooby! Gooby!
Gooby, come on, go!
Ow! Ow!
Are you all right?
Uh, fine, mrs. Williams! Ow! Ow!
Just... uh,
talking to aliens.
Your mother called.
She'll be home for dinner.
Okay! Okay.
Wah. Ugh. Whoo!
Definitely, next
time we do this,
we need to get a bigger closet
or a smaller me.
You've got one of those!
...monsters that
could eat us all
and destroy the entire city!
Oh-h-h, this is
great. Can I have it?
Please, please, please, please,
please, please, please,
please, please, please. Yes.
Gooby... gooby!
Sounds like snot.
Snot? What
sounds like snot?
My name.
You were young so
I can't complain,
but I always thought
it sounded like
great big gobs of snot.
Oof! Oh...
markers!
Wow.
I lo-o-ove markers!
Uh, gooby,
I don't think you should be...
I very much think
I should. Well, uh...
markers are about the
best thing in the world...
next, of course, to those...
window cookies.
This... is
you and me...
in a hot air balloon...
going away from the volcano.
It says everything's
going to be all right.
It's a masterpiece!
We need to hang it up somewhere.
Here we go.
W... n-no! No!
My dad was really mad
about putting these up in there.
In the closet?
He sounds like fun.
Um, how's about...
right there?
It's brilliant!
- Willy!
- Oh!
My mom.
But we just decided...
uh, just for now.
Wait! Whoa... don't move. Ow!
Most important of all, what?
Don't make a single sound.
Can't I...
so that would give us two weeks
at the resort on the bay,
and then we could
drive up the coast.
What?
Honey, I don't think
I'm going to be able
to do it right now.
Jack, I booked 10
days off of work.
Remember rollie covered
me on the baltimore trip?
Now, possibly the third
week of next month...
what the heck was that?
Uh... I think
it was maybe...
whoa... down the...
down the wrong pipe, buddy?
You need some water?
I'm okay...
I'm okay.
Are you going to be sick?
No, no.
Yes! Yes!
Willy wasn't feeling
well last night,
so he's just up in his
room sleeping, all right?
Not to worry!
He's not going to school?
So he really is sick?
He ought to be.
I found two empty
boxes of cookies
in the garbage this morning.
He must have eaten,
like, 50 cookies last night.
Now, when your
irish stew is cooked,
you want to make sure to pour
off the cooking liquid, the grease,
and pre-heat another sauce pot.
It does slightly thicken
with a little roux if you like.
Now, if you don't,
you've got to be careful...
okay, it sounds obvious,
but you've got
to be very careful
when trying to hide a giant
orange monster in your house.
First, and most important,
give him a place
where no one ever goes.
Ta-da!
What do you think?
Oh-h...
willy...
it's... great!
Yeah?
Oh, yes!
It's... fantastic.
100 percent!
What? What's that
over there? Huh?
Bye. What are you doing?
W-What am I, the cat?
I'm not staying here.
Why not?
It's dark;
There's no light;
It's dark...
yeah, but...
you have a
flashlight here, and...
my old lamp, so you
can turn on a light.
And...
snot?
Totally snot.
Peel the carrots.
Now the carrots are
going to give you...
some of the green stock with
the onion and the carrot.
But cut the carrots
nice and large
so you can use as
little meat as possible.
And make sure that gravy
is just as thin,
nice and thin brown
liquid as possible.
So that people will feel
that they've had a real meal
but you haven't actually...
are you even going to be
able to stand up in here?
Standing up's not important.
Ugh!
What's important
is n.s.a.i.
n.s.a.i.?
No snot about it.
The best part about it:
We'll be close to each other.
Well, yeah, but...
what about you making noise?
I mean, mom and dad's room is...
right over here.
Well...
I'll just move these boxes over.
Then I won't have
to go over there. Oh...
shhhhh!
Hey! Shhhh!
Sorry.
Oooh...
hey...
that's your dad.
He looks exactly like you.
And that's where he grew up,
and that's his house.
How do you know?
Not really important now.
I'm going to get my
paper and markers.
No, no, no, no, no!
Not a chance.
I'll get your papers
and markers. Oof!
You... stay here
and clean up, okay?
Ah...
eeehhh!
Gross!
What is it?
Broccoli.
Here, try this.
Here.
Ble-e-ech!
Barf-o-rama!
Brussels sprouts.
See?
You're right,
everything green is gross.
Quick, pass me one
of those hot dogs.
There.
You know...
I never did this before.
What, you've never
eaten a hot dog?
No, I mean...
mm-hmm...
making friends.
I've always been kind of...
I don't know...
awkward.
Awkward?
Didn't you come right out
even though you
thought I was a hoonie?
Do you remember what you said?
"Hi."
Brilliant!
You think you're not good
at making friends, that's all.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Ever seen this before?
Bah!
A-a-a-ah!
Oh, oh...
shh! Shh! Shh!
Shhhh! Shhhh!
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Shh! Shh!
And just when it seemed
like life was going to be great...
what walked in the door?
- Trouble. Big time.
- Boys and girls.
Boys and girls, please!
Thank you. As I'm sure
you already know,
mrs. Donnelly had her
baby girl on monday,
and you have a new teacher.
Mr. nerdlinger.
Me? Now?
Yes, you. Now.
It is so...
it... it...
uh...
huh.
I am sure that...
that... that you'll all
give mr. Nerdlinger the
same courtesy and respect
that you gave
mrs. Donnelly.
So, they're all yours.
Are we done?
Uh...
off we go.
Uh...
thank you.
Ever have one of those moments
when you realize
right off the bat
that your teacher
is really weird?
This was one of those moments.
Well...
I am mr. Nerdlinger,
and I know what you're thinking:
"That names sounds
awfully familiar."
I'm sure we all recognize
flesherton fish...
from the books of the same name?
"Flesherton fish
goes to market"?
"Flesherton fish
beyond the sea"?
"Flesherton fish and
ahab make friends"?
I wrote those books.
Those are my books.
Hands up, those
who have read them.
Hands up those who
have heard of them.
Well, not everyone
can be famous.
All right.
Let's proceed with
our first lesson.
Well, if mrs. Dandridge
thinks she's got critters,
then she's got
critters. You!
Outside this afternoon.
Mr. james is going to be
spraying through the house.
But I... I have to
change my clothes.
Well, be quick about it!
Honestly, I don't
know what to do...
gooby? Gooby!
Gooby!
Ooh-wee!
Aah!
Whoa!
Whew! Huh!
Hey...
I didn't know you could do that.
Me neither.
I had to do something.
They were poking at the floor.
They're checking the entire
house for bugs and rats.
We've got to get
you out of here.
No kidding.
I'm scared of bugs and rats!
Hey, where are you
going to sleep?
In my own room.
Oh, I don't think this is
a good idea anymore.
No one ever comes in here.
You have it all to yourself.
Look, you have your own markers
and drawing pads,
and marshmallow cookies.
And here, electricity,
so you can use this.
And you can even have my tv.
What?
What about the hoonies?
Mm... I don't know.
I mean, since you got here,
we haven't really
seen any, have we?
Here.
One for you, one for me.
You know, I always wanted
someone to talk to on these.
Goob... you've
got to stay here.
And I've got to stay
in my own room.
Remember what I said
about grown-ups not
understanding stuff?
Willy!
I've got to go.
Goob...
do you think you can
be strong about this?
I don't want to be strong.
Well, sure you do.
I'm strong, so...
that means you can be strong.
Right?
See ya.
It wasn't perfect,
but I knew that if my parents
weren't paying attention to me,
they sure wouldn't be paying
attention to the backyard.
Hmm.
Hmm...
hmm?
Hmm...
so, now I had gooby
taken care of...
and I had a pretty good idea
I had the whole new school
thing under control too.
Hey, bird brain!
Ah!
You've got to pay the toll!
The what?
The toll. See,
this is my hallway.
You've got to pay to go through.
But I don't have any
m... aw, that's too bad.
After school tomorrow then.
And, uh, just to make
sure you don't forget,
let's have a drink on it, huh?
Tickets for the
halloween dance...
mm.
Oof! Oh-h!
I won't forget,
dummy, don't you.
Willy!
Are you okay?
Willy!
What are you doing?
This you've got to see!
Hey, come on. Wait.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait!
Close your eyes.
Cover your eyes. Cover
your eyes. Come on...
willy... you might
want to mind yourself.
Okay, okay.
Okay!
Are you okay?
Okay.
All right, you ready?
One...
two... three!
Ta-daaaaaaa!
Gooby? Gooby...
uh, no, no, you can...
go on, go on, go on...
ta-daaaaaa!
My space cart!
Whoa.
I built it with just four
fingers on each paw.
Wait, look.
My drawings worked?
You're the best space cart
drawer in the world!
Whoa.
Hey, where are the shocks?
We don't need shocks once
we get a big, comfy cushion.
Huh?
Me!
I'm going to be the cushion.
I am the cushion!
I don't think this is so smart.
I mean, shouldn't
we test this thing?
Maybe we should go on a...
smaller hill.
Huh! We don't need
a smaller hill.
I figure if we pretend
to be not so scared,
then eventually we'll be brave.
Pretty smart, huh? Yeah.
Are you ready?
One...
two, three!
Whee-ee!
You oiled the
wheels, didn't you?
I put a whole can on it.
A whole can?
Do you hear something?
Sounds like...
traffi-i-i-ic!
So here we were,
flying over traffic
in front of all sorts of
people, including my teacher
who we knew was obsessed
with being famous.
This was going to cause trouble.
Oh...
you see what I mean, willy?
Sometimes, you just
have to let it rip!
Gooby... goob?
Goob?
Huh?
Goob? There's a button
on the side.
Hmm.
You have to press it.
Willy?
Willy, is that you?
Yeah.
I've been thinking.
What about?
The space cart.
It's like, well...
I was scared at first,
but then I was okay.
And at the end,
it felt great, because
I'd been scared at first.
I don't know.
I guess being scared
is just about not knowing stuff.
Is that when the hoonies come?
Yeah.
That's when the hoonies come.
You know,
since I've been here,
we haven't seen any.
Yeah, I've been
thinking about that too.
Maybe I'm not so sure about them
being real anymore.
G'night, willy.
G'night, goob.
It seems...
absurd
that we have to teach
young people about...
lewis carroll,
as if he's such a great writer.
Oh sure, his book, his one book
became so, so famous.
"Alice in wonderland".
I've written three books,
and done my own illustrations.
Iewis carroll didn't do
his own illustrations.
The man couldn't draw a stick.
It's just absurd.
Psst!
Psst! Willy.
Come on.
Come on, billy.
Be a real man, okay?
Come on.
Mr. dandridge.
Do we have a problem?
No. No, sir.
Billy. Psst! Billy.
Go away!
Mr. dandridge!
I...
speak up,
mr. Dandridge!
I'm sure we'd all like to hear
what you have to say
on the purported genius
of mr. Carroll.
He was what?
A fuzzy, orange monster?
Children!
This is not funny.
We all know there
is no such thing
as a fuzzy, orange...
monster,
and... and anyone who
saw one would be...
famous.
Give me that paper!
The four of you boys
will be staying after school
for two whole weeks!
Yoo-hoo!
Guess who!
Oh man, I'm going
to murdolate you!
Hello!
Wow, what was that about?
You know, I had to write out:
"There is no such thing as
fuzzy, orange monsters" 60 times?
And now, the two
coolest guys in school
whom I wanted to be my friends,
hate my guts!
I never had a detention
in my life before!
No such thing as
fuzzy, orange monsters?
Gooby, what made you think
you could come to my school?
What... what made you
think you could come out?
I was out of
marshmallow cookies.
Don't worry.
I was careful.
No one saw me.
You mean...
that I have a detention
for the next two weeks
because of your
marshmallow cookies?
Yeah, but... uh...
w-willy...
let's get something straight.
I was mad at gooby,
but I knew I'd get over it.
The only problem was,
gooby didn't know that.
And that's when he
got his great idea.
Attention, shoppers,
we have scary specials
and ghoulish good deals
on all halloween candy
for the next 30 minutes.
Are you okay?
Uh...
it's...
it's hot. Hot.
Water! Water, yeah.
Ew.
Gooby! Gooby, what
are you doing?
Uh, shopping.
Do you know this
stuff? It's fantastic.
The army guy makes tonnes of it!
Gooby, this is
not... shopping!
When you shop, you're
supposed to buy things,
not eat them off the shelf!
Well, I needed cookies
and you didn't seem like you
were going to help me anyway,
so I figured I'd help myself.
Do people know all
this stuff exists in here?
Gooby, people are
going to see you!
You have to leave now.
You can't tell me what to do.
Huh? You're not the boss of me.
I am too the boss of you!
Oh, says who?
Says who? Well,
who took care of you
since his second birthday?
Who... who
named you gooby
because he couldn't
say "good bear"?
Who fed you pez every day?
Who washed you in orange juice
the time you fell in the toilet?
Who... who took you and...
you thought I was a bear?
The point is that...
the point is I can
do whatever I want.
If I want to eat all
the cereal in the world,
I'm going to.
Gooby, you're not
going to eat that stuff.
Says who?
You are,
because what you're
eating is cat food.
Ooh... ugh-h...
goob, the point is
that people who
steal go to jail.
Yeah well, I'm not
people, I'm a monster.
So there!
Goob, I'm a person!
Oh, you mean you could
go to jail if I was stealing?
Hey kid!
What are you doing?
Uh, I...
don't worry, I'll save you!
They'll never take us alive!
Ugh!
What the...
every time
your eyes meet mine
heaven seems to be
just a little bit closer
just a little bit closer
down here
every day I find some way
for you and I to be
just a little bit closer
just a little bit closer
say cheese.
Every time
your eyes meet mine
ugh!
Heaven seems to be
just a little bit closer
oh, hi mom!
Just a little bit closer
down here
every time
your eyes meet mine
heaven seems to be
just a little bit closer
just a little bit closer
gooby...
gooby, what are you doing?
Come on!
Gooby? What?
Gooby! There's a
whole section of candy
that looks just like me!
Hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah
halle-lujah
oh... oh.
Goob, what are
you talking about?
These... these
aren't you,
they're... they're... I think
they look very much like me!
Mmm... delicious!
Oh...
but these are...
chewy. They're
goobychews!
Goobychews?
Goobychews!
Are you nuts? They're really
good. They're really good!
- Mmm...
- hey, kid.
Stop right there!
What are you doing?
Now, come on!
Every time
your eyes meet mine
heaven seems to be
just a little bit closer
just a little bit closer
what? Whoa!
Every time
your eyes meet mine
heaven seems to be
just a little bit closer
whoa!
Just a little bit closer
I've got you
now... whoa!
Clean-up in the produce
section, please.
Are you all right, young man?
Clean-up in the produce section.
Ow!
Come on! Let's
go... go...
let's go!
Go, go!
Give me a break.
Jack, you could have called!
Well, of course he's ready.
The least you...
okay.
No.
Okay.
One of the coolest
things about friendship
is the stuff you
can solve together.
Totally cool, isn't it?
I don't know why I
didn't think of this earlier.
I still don't get it, willy.
What makes today any
different from any other day?
It's october 31st!
Come on.
Wow!
Look at that guy!
Ridiculous!
I'll get the tickets.
You stay here.
Uh-huh.
Don't move, okay?
Huh.
Hey, birdbrain...
where you been?
You owe me four days
plus interest.
What are you looking at?
Oh...
good costume, mister.
My uncle's got one just like it.
Can your uncle do this?
Willy! The hot dog peed.
I've got to go.
Maybe there's people
you just don't need
to say "hi" to.
Gooby, that was amazing!
Hey, bainbridge.
Oh!
Are those the cool kids
you got in detention with?
Gooby, don't!
Come on.
They already hate me. No!
Maybe they just need a
second chance to be friendly.
Huh?
What'd you do to big bruce?
That was great!
Is this
your... dad?
Yeah.
Dad, this is colin.
Hey, mr. Bainbridge.
So, uh, what're
you going to see?
Oh, we're going to go see
the scary... "big adventure".
"Big adventure"?
That's for babies!
We're checking out
"death action 3000...
part ii."
Really?
Absolutely!
See you around.
Later, mr. Bainbridge.
Oh, that other film
looks really exciting.
We wouldn't be able
to get in anyway.
Why not?
Sorry, for this movie,
you need to be
accompanied by an adult.
But my dad's parking the car,
and he said to get
the tickets first.
Oh yeah?
Oh, well, all right then.
Scram, kid.
I've got better things
to do with my time
and there's a line-up
behind... hold on!
I'm in charge of these boys,
my fine young ticket man!
I think I can decide what
kind of movies these boys,
and my boy, willy
here, needs to see.
And if they want to see a film
full of gratuitous
violence and gore,
then I say, let 'er rip.
Bainbridge,
your dad is very cool.
That was so sweet!
Well, we got to go.
Thanks a lot,
mr. Bainbridge.
Willy, your dad's all right.
We'll see you around.
Maybe... you
could join us,
play soccer at school?
Sure. That'd
be great.
See you around, then.
Did you hear that?
What?
You know, I really
kind of liked that.
Liked what?
I liked being your dad.
All the love in the world
has found us
all the love in the world
surrounds us
all the love in the world
when I am with you
I can say you're good for me
I can say we're meant to be
these are only words
that I can say
you are the best of me
all I know is what I feel
all I know is what is real
where have you gone
where have you been
you make me right
you make me everything
where have you gone
where have you been
you make it right
you make it everything
all the love in the world
all the love in the world
oh! Beat
your record.
All the love in the world
when I am with you
now, pay up, or go to jail.
That's final.
Final, eh?
Fine.
Final!
All the love in the world
colin!
I guess it never
really occurred to me
what gooby did when
no one was home.
But because he was
home that day...
well, that's when
the trouble started.
Ah... oomphtah!
Mm-mmm! Hah.
You've reached...
argh!
Please leave a message
after the beep.
Hello, this
is mrs. Deacon
calling from willy's school.
We've had an accident
here on the soccer field...
oh! And... and there's
been a... a head injury
a-and we think...
oh.
Whoa...
ah! Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa...
oh!
Ah... ah...
yeah.
No, not... no, no,
no, no. Not right now.
Look, I just got a call,
I have an emergency
I have to attend to.
I'm out the door in seconds.
No.
Yes.
All right,
look: No; Yes;
And not right now.
Okay, what's the emergency?
Oh...
now this was real trouble.
See, gooby had heard
my dad on the phone
talking about an emergency
and just assumed he was talking
about the emergency at school.
How was he to know that
my dad was reacting
to something totally different,
and hadn't even heard
the call from the school?
The final result:
Gooby wandering around a place
where gooby should not be.
Looks to me like we don't
have enough rebars...
uh... carl?
Hello!
Gooby!
Gooby?
Okay.
Gooby?
Goob?
Goob?
Willy.
What the heck are you
doing out here so late?
I... I was...
my bike...
well...
well, don't just stand
here, put it away!
Dad, today at school...
just put it in the garage.
Gooby?
Gooby?
Ah...
gooby?
They think I'm upstairs
putting on my pyjamas.
Willy, I'm torn.
Hmm...
it's not that bad.
Yeah well, it hurts.
Come on, don't be such a baby.
Oh.
So your head's okay.
My head?
Yeah, well after what
happened at school...
ow! Today.
How do you know about
what happened at school?
Well, I sort
of... overheard.
See, I thought your dad was...
yeah, my dad.
A lot he cares.
If I were hanging over
a 50-storey building
he'd still answer his cellphone.
Trust me, you don't
want to be hanging
over a 50-storey building.
Colin got beaned
with a soccer ball.
Colin?
Yeah.
I had to rush him to
the nurse's office, so...
they made me stay with
him until his mom got there.
I skipped the whole afternoon.
There we go.
Hmm.
Now. You're
going to tell me
what you were doing
in my dad's car, right?
Marshmallow cookies,
or out of comic books?
Uh, it's not really
important now.
Wait a minute.
Oh, uh, the, uh...
this looks like plaster.
Uh...
they were building
this tall building,
and, uh...
goob,
you didn't go with my
dad to work, did you?
Uh, just this afternoon...
since this afternoon?
Well, there was this
thingamawhat, and I had to jump,
and then I landed in this
goop and then I cut my arm
and... goob! You're
supposed to wait
until I come out
to the backyard!
Well, you don't come out
to the backyard anymore!
You're always playing soccer
and hanging out with
your new friends.
That's not true.
"Don't worry about gooby,
you just leave him in
the shed day and night
with his mouldy old comics,
"and his ratty old sleeping
bag..." you're a liar!
And we don't even draw
the hoonies anymore!
Hoonies?
There's no such
thing as hoonies!
They're for little kids!
Well, if there's no
such thing as hoonies,
then maybe I should go.
Well then, maybe you should.
Especially if all you're
going to do is cause trouble.
Yeah? Well,
maybe I will!
Good!
Good!
Yeah!
Bye.
Bye! Bye?
All alone tonight
heart without a home tonight
now I long for yesterday
the world's come
crashing down
love's destruction
all around
all from words
I didn't mean to say
goob?
Goob, I've got cookies.
Goob...
I've been thinking
I said some things
I didn't want to say...
goob?
Goob?
Gooby?
Goob?
I used to be the light
in your eye
I used to be the reason
for your smile
I used to know
that I belonged
somewhere inside your love
on and on...
"and so flesherton fish
swam and swam,
looking for his friend ahab,
whom he hadn't seen
since the shark brothers,
gerald and juan, had called
him a cowardly jellyfish.
'Oh, I wish my fins
were stronger
so I could swim faster.
Where are you, ahab?
"Where are you?'
screamed flesherton..."
...and finds me
with you
I'm living over
over and over
again and again
jack?
Mm-hmm?
We need to talk about willy.
What about him?
Yeah, he was doing
really well there for a while.
And?
Yeah, it was... it was
like he was a different kid.
There's no more alien
people coming after him.
And then the past
couple of days,
he's just...
changed.
Well, honey,
you know, he's young
and, uh, kids go through phases.
He's not as young
as you think, jack.
Willy!
Gooby!
- Ow!
- Goob!
Gooby, the tree!
Wah!
You're back.
I sure am!
Come on.
Whew!
Oh-h...
so I guess you're not
mad at me anymore, eh?
I was never mad at you.
Where have you been?
I went out to find
something you need to see.
A secret.
What are you talking about?
We've got to go
somewhere tomorrow, willy,
you and me.
Tomorrow.
After school.
Do you trust me, willy?
I trust you with anything.
And so gooby and I
went off on our
voyage of discovery.
What I had no way of knowing
was that this was a journey
that was going to
change me forever.
Willy?
Willy?
Jack?
What's going on?
Where's willy?
Willy!
Willy?
Jack!
Okay, don't panic.
Let's see where they lead.
See? I told you
the train tracks
ended somewhere near here.
Goob, I think we should go back.
Willy... we
need to go on.
What?
Willy.
Does it look familiar?
Wow.
This was where my dad
lived when he was a boy?
I think I know why
I came here, willy.
I'm supposed to show you this.
Thank you.
The police have assured
me they will contact us
the moment they know anything.
That's not good enough!
Elise, we can't panic.
Look... there's probably a
perfectly rational explanation
for what we found out there.
I mean, he's got friends.
So who does he know?
Well, what does he do all day?
Oh...
hey, pull up over here.
You see a light?
Oof.
Looks like there were...
six different apartments.
I wonder which one was my dad's.
Hey, cool!
It's like a secret doorway.
Willy!
Did you hear something?
Circle the block.
Willy!
Willy!
Gooby!
Willy!
Willy!
Oh...
gooby!
Oh no, willy!
I can't reach you.
Gooby!
Aaah! I can't reach you, willy!
Gooby! Gooby,
go get help!
Oh...
go get help!
Yes.
Yes, this is jack dandridge.
Hang on a second.
1435 sullivan, huh?
Okay.
What?
I've got to go.
You stay here, all right?
Are you out of your
mind? I'm coming!
Elise, you...
you've got to...
you've got to stay
here, all right?
They, uh, want you
here in case they call.
I've got to go.
I'll be back.
Willy?
Dad!
Dad!
Oh my god!
Uh...
willy, hang on!
Oh...!
Willy!
No! Hang on, willy!
Dad...
willy, go up!
Willy!
Grab my hand!
Ugh! Whoa!
No, hang on!
Hold it right there, pal.
Police! What do you
think you're doing?
What are you doing?
My son is in danger!
Get down there.
Buddy, hang on.
Willy, hang on!
Hang on! Willy...
look at me.
Look at me.
Buddy,
I need you to trust me, willy.
When I tell you to,
you have to let go
and reach.
No, no...
you've got to
do it. Willy...
trust me.
All right?
Now, I'm going to tell you.
One...
two...
reach!
Reach, willy.
Reach!
Willy!
Come on!
Let's go home, willy.
Is the boy all right?
He's fine.
Why wouldn't you call
the fire department
before you called me?
Sir, we didn't call anyone.
We didn't even know
the kid was in here
until we saw your car
screaming down sullivan.
Buddy, follow the
policemen down.
I'll be down in a minute.
W... what the...?
I was the one that called you.
I used willy's cellphone.
I brought him here.
What...
I'm gooby.
The crane operator
said that he saw you...
I hurt myself.
It's okay now.
But h... how...?
This is your secret
room, isn't it?
Where you came as a little boy.
How can you know that?
Most grown-ups forget
things like that.
Actually, most grown-ups
forget all sorts of things.
The three trees by
the railroad tracks...
my dad and I were
going to build a fort.
He promised me
we'd do it together.
We never did.
He was always so busy...
working.
Trying to make things
better for us.
A boy doesn't need things.
A boy needs a dad.
What have I done?
What is this?
A plan.
Made by a little boy, a long...
long, long time ago.
- Where is he?
- What happened?
He's fine. He's fine.
Fine. Then, I
need to see him.
And you will, honey,
he's coming in.
But before he does...
there's something I
need to talk to you about.
A someone.
He's fine and you never called?
What were you thinking?
Do you have any idea what
I've been going through here?
Elise...
we let him go, jack.
Do you realize that?
Our little boy, we let him go
for... for...
for this...
for this house.
For these things.
Do you realize how
crazy that sounds?
We don't need all these things.
We need to...
change.
And I need to be the
first one to change.
And I will.
There's something I
need to talk to you about.
Okay? Look...
I need you to promise me
that you're going to stay calm.
Why? What happened?
You said he was fine.
He is fine.
But you've got to promise me
that you're going to stay calm.
Willy?
Mom...
there's somebody
I want you to meet.
Hi!
Oh my god!
Absolutely...
any time, rollie.
All right.
Well, it's official, guys.
Rollie's cousin
is a full partner,
and I am on sabbatical.
I've got to warn you, though,
it will be tight
for a little while.
Dad, gooby says
to make sure to get
pressure-treated wood.
You know what? He's
absolutely right.
Heh. Are you
okay, honey?
Mm-hmm.
No, but we won't use
paint-ready on the porch
so this is perfect.
Hey! Hey!
What about this?
Look! Isn't it great?
Oh, and they've
got 'em over there,
they've got hundreds of them.
It's a swing!
A swing!
You just swing back and forth,
hang it over a tree.
And what about these
they've got?
They've got monkey bars.
You can climb up and...
fantastic!
Uh, he kind of has a problem
with the "not letting
people see him" thing.
...where's the
mountains?
Rollie!
There you are, huh?
You crazy nut.
This is my partner, folks!
Rollie fowler!
We're promoting our new
architecture firm...
dandridge, fowler and fowler.
Rollie thought it would be
fun for the kids to dress up.
Let's hand out some
cards to the folks, rollie.
You've got that right, jack.
Where are the cameras?
The cameras! The
cameras! The cameras!
Take this.
Please... call.
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Move.
Move.
Whoa!
Could you move, please?
I need a camera.
Camera...
camera!
Back of the line...
let me through!
Let me through!
This picture
- will make me famous.
- Excuse me, sir?
Uh, uh, sir...
but, sir...
not now! Go away!
Go away!
Uh... uh...
okay, what's happening?
What's going on?
What? What? What...
you fools!
Put me down!
Put me down! I'm trying
to get a picture,
a very important picture here!
You morons!
Get gooby to the car
right now. I'm trying to get
the picture of my life!
I can't get my picture!
Jack, I-I think
that's willy's teacher.
You're taking away my moment!
Come on, let's go! Maybe
we should think about
putting willy in private
school next year.
What do you say we go pay for
the rest of that wood, huh? Yeah.
What are you people doing?
My picture!
Eeh?
You're k... you're k...
hello.
I'm, uh...
sure you're all familiar
with the "flesherton fish"
series of books...
yeah, but that doesn't mean
that you can just
come in here like that!
Just... my room...
and... my school...
and...
look, I know I'm being
sort of a pain, but...
gooby?
Gooby?
Gooby!
Gooby?
Gooby!
Oh, come on.
Gooby!
Well, see, the
budget's pretty tight,
but I was hoping to build
one of these for the new baby.
Willy!
Goob, what are you doing?
Where have you been?
Willy, do you remember
what you said to me
the first night in the shed?
What are you talking about?
You said, "you're strong...
that means I'm strong too".
Remember?
Do you think you can be strong?
This is the standard
size right here.
But this is, like...
no. No.
I was wrong about that.
But...
we need to be together, goob.
Hey...
it's all right now.
You have to stay.
You have to be strong, willy.
I don't want to be strong.
I love you, gooby.
I love you too, willy.
Don't forget.
I won't...
i won't forget.
Hmm?
Excuse me.
Is this yours?
I think someone dropped him.
But I didn't drop anything.
Well...
will you do me a favour then?
Will you take him?
He's a really good friend.
His name is gooby.
I think he needs a new home.
He's funny.
I like him. Thanks.
Take care of him, okay?
Willy! Willy!
You got gooby?
Gooby went home, dad.
I love you, willy.
Let's go home.
All right, guys, this fort is
a family construction job,
so we need to learn
the basics of construction...
the final and most
important rule
of having a big,
fuzzy orange monster:
Realizing what you leave behind.
What I mean is:
Gooby may have gone on,
but he left me with
all sorts of stuff.
Like how to build a space cart,
the best way to go
grocery shopping,
and how to defeat the hoonies.
And... how to
be a friend.
Oh, and he gave me
something else as well.
He gave me back my dad.
And maybe because of that
I realized that when
it comes to family,
where we belong isn't a place,
it's with each other.
mijo corporation
it's almost like I'm playing
lost and found with you
I'm nobody when I'm not
hanging around with you
when you're not with me
I've got a little problem
I tend to disappear
I'm so full of doubt
the sun is hiding out
I'm nowhere when
you're not here
a disappearing act
and baby it's an odd one
make some magic
with your smile
and there under the tree
a shining me you'll see
if you stay around
for a while
I'm not visible it's a fact
though risible it's no act
it's really true
invisible without you
it's really true
invisible without you
ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah-ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah!
What? Gee.
Well, I thought
that was pretty good.
All the love in the world
has found us

I can say you're good for me
I could say
