Hit the Road Jack

Oh yeah.

I got this.
I got this.
I don't got this! Whoa! Dude, you just put a hole in the wall.
You gotta help me out.
This wall is putting up a fight.
Rudy, that's exactly like the Bo Staff we just lost He did it! What is wrong with you two? We have the biggest tournament in the history of this dojo tomorrow! That's right.
Tomorrow I get my orange belt.
That is exact wait, that's this tournament? I mean, of course it is.
Yes, we're all very proud of you.
Good work, son.
Hey, where have you guys been? Practice started a half-hour ago.
Sorry, Rudy.
It's Wednesday.
We volunteer at the nursing home.
"We volunteer at the nursing home".
Get your priorities straight, people.
Tomorrow is the Champions Tournament! - Where I am getting my orange belt.
- I said we're proud of you, now zip it! Rudy, man, you're a little wound up, but we are ready for the tournament.
Kim's been helping me with my spinning back-kick.
Yeah, show him, Jack.
Ready? That is perfect.
You need to do exactly that tomorrow.
You never know who's going to be watching you.
My whole family's coming to watch me get my orange belt.

And no matter how much I chop and punch it's not as cool as kickin' it with you.
Here we go, let's start the party! Chop it up like it's karate.

Yo, yo Karate Tournament tonight lady's.
Jack's gonna be there.
Hey, tell Jack my friends and I will be at the tournament to cheer him on.
I'm competing also, so I guess you'll be cheering me on too, right? - Jerry, you and I will never - Shh shh shh.
Let's not rush this, okay? Let it breathe.
He put his finger on my lips and it smelled like feet.
Oh! What? Yo, there's that new kid.
I heard he transferred here from his other school because he stole his Principal's car.
We don't know he did anything.
I don't judge a book by its cover.
- Let's go talk to him.
- What? - Milton, what are you doing? - Hey there.
My name is Milton.
These are my friends.
I hold out my arms to you as a welcoming symbol of acceptance to our school.
We're not hugging, dude.
I high-five you as a welcoming symbol of acceptance to our school.
Come on, new kid.
Nothing? Woo, yay Eddie! Thank you, Sensei.
Today, I have become a man.
From this day forward, when I pee, I will do it standing! Oh, he's here, he's here, he's here! Uh, who's here? Certainly not a mysterious stranger from Japan who could change our lives forever.
I'm kinda nervous.
This guy I'm going up against hasn't lost in two years.
Well, he's about to.
He doesn't know who he's messing with Bobby Wasabi's best student right here! - You don't want any of this! - Kim, stop.
Because boom goes the dynamite! Boom! Kim, stop booming.
People are looking.
Yes yes! So what'd you think about Jack? Is he as good as I said? No.
He's better.
I'll meet with the boy.
I am the greatest Sensei in the world! Jack, you did it.
That was incredible.
Woo Woo Whee.
You're turning this dojo into a Hungarian hothouse, missy.
What are you talking about, Joan? I saw what was going on between you and mister kicky-kicky-chop-chop.
There's nothing going on between us.
Oh ho ho, really? Let me take out my old passion meter, huh? Boop boop boop.
B-b-b-b-b-boop! Ooh, your first love is the most important one of your life.
You just pick up the old Joan phone if you're ready to talk or, you know Kick it.
Oh, holy Hanna.
Base, I'm going to need a woman's right 81/2, stat.
Welcome to the AV Club, or as we call it, the cool kids club.
Here is where we keep the laptops.
Oh, and right here number of days since a club member has been wedgied.
Wedgie free for 23.
They got me right outside the library.
I never saw it coming.
Milton, can I talk to you in private? Whatever you would say to me, you can say in front of my new friend Zane.
Okay Your new friend is a criminal.
Shame on you.
Shame, I say! This boy will not be an outcast because of a mere rumor.
Zane, I will not allow you to wear the shackles of a reputation.
Because of me, you will always drink the purified waters of freedom.
Freedom! Emmitt, I don't judge a book by its cover Dude, I'm locked in.
Hello? Jack, you're just so awesome.
I mean, that fly-kicky thing you did was, like, wow! - I hope you like the balloon.
- Oh, thanks.
See you, Jack.
I mean that fly-kicky thing you did was, like, wow! You really don't like her, do you? What makes you say that? Hey, look! Late to class.
See ya.
You dweebs just pantsed me? - They got caught in my locker.
- Here we go! Hey, you heard him.
It was an accident.
One day, he's not going to be here to protect you.
My training was in Tokyo.
My first Sensei was old Master Lee.
He was a blind monk whose dojo was on the side of a mountain.
My first Sensei was a guy named Carl.
Um, he could braid his nose hairs and his dojo was made out of refrigerator boxes.
I wasn't kidding.
Uh, Rudy, you wanted to see me.
Jack, this is Master Tanaka from the Otai Academy.
Whoa! The Otai Academy? The greatest martial arts masters in the world trained there.
I guess I'm the exception to that rule.
Am I right? It's such an honor to meet you, Master Tanaka.
The heart and skill I witnessed at the tournament have proven to me, that you have the makings of a champion.
Let's talk.
Next time you're in town, call me.
It doesn't have to be business, we can just hang.
Do you foosball? All right, everybody, bring it in! Jack has an unbelievable announcement to make.
It's a little crazy, but I just got offered a scholarship to the Otai Academy.
So full of pride.
What? But the Otai Academy is in Japan.
Wait, what are you saying, Jack? I'm moving to Japan.
What? Oh no.
My legs are going.
Mat me! Mat me, Jerry! Dude, you gotta be more specific.
Kickin' it with you.
I still can't believe that I'm moving to Japan.
I mean, I leave Friday.
I was just reading about the Otai Academy.
This brochure says the scholarship is for four years.
When you come back, we'll be in college.
Wow, you you're right.
Man, this place is unbelievable! State of the art training center, outdoor dojo And the cafeteria has got a "make your own waffle" station! Shut up! Sounds like a great opportunity.
I'll catch up with you guys later.
Man, it's gonna be weird not being here every day.
Jack, you're such a big part of this dojo.
I bet Rudy isn't happy.
I am the happiest I've ever been in my life! I overnighted a bunch of stuff from the Otai bookstore.
Listen to this, it's your school fight song.
It's super catchy.
Ah! Great.
Now I'm not going to be able to get that song of my head.
Ah! Hey, why so glum, soul sister? Remember when I was in the dojo, and I told you I didn't have any feelings for Jack? - Mm hmm.
- I kinda do.
But it doesn't really matter now.
He's moving to Japan.
What?! Let me tell you something Eighth grade, the first boy I ever had feelings for, Brendan Harper, tells me he's moving to Wisconsin.
You know what I did? You were honest with him and told him how you felt? No.
I put chains around his legs and locked him in our woodshed.
If you love something, don't set it free.
You'll never see it again.
Thanks, Joan.
You really think we can replace Jack? We've gotta try.
I mean without Jack, not a single girl is gonna talk to us.
Forget girls, we've got no protection from Frank and his thugs.
At least when Kim's not around.
All right, let's do this.
What makes you think you can be the next Jack? First of all, I have pretty awesome hair.
And like Jack, I have two moles.
One's on my neck and one's on my Next! Close your eyes and picture a Next! Wait, what is your criminal friend doing here? He's not a criminal! I don't care what he is, he's got gorgeous girls with him.
Zane, are you here to audition? I came to bring the sweater you left in the AV Club.
Hey, you mind? Ha! Whoa.
You know karate? A little bit.
Ha! Holy Christmas nuts! Congratulations! You're our new Jack! - Woo! - You did it, Zane.
Kickin' it with you.
Okay, let's try it one more time.
I think I got it.
We swear by the light of the dragon's eye, to be loyal and honest and never say die.
Wasabi! - You got it, Zane.
- Thanks.
- Hey, guys.
- Oh hey, Jack.
This is Zane.
He's the new you.
Awkward! - Oh, Jack, Zane's gonna need your locker.
- Yeah.
Awkwarder.
Yeah yeah, that's no problem.
I was coming to clean it out anyway.
Uh, look, Jack, he's just the new guy in the dojo.
Nobody could replace you.
We're going to Falafel Phil's with Jack's replacement.
See ya.
Psst.
Put chains around his legs and throw him in the locker.
Don't set him free.
You'll never see him again.
You'll never see him again.
Kim? Check these out.
We took this at the photo booth down at the pier, remember? Oh yeah.
I can't believe you still have those.
There's four pictures here.
You take two and I'll take two? Yeah.
Hey, I remember that one.
That's where I gave you a wet willy.
Look at the next one.
That's the one where I gave you a black eye.
Guys! There's something weird going on.
I just discovered a laptop is missing.
I went to talk to Emmitt about it, no one has seen Emmitt in two days.
And Zane was the last person to see him.
- So what are you saying? - I'm saying - You guys didn't see anything, did you? - Nope.
- Absolutely not.
- The sun was in my eyes.
Holy Christmas nuts! We've just replaced Jack with a homicidal maniac! Francis, would it kill you to practice in the band room?! Listen, I rethought your whole situation.
Before Jack leaves he has to know what's in your heart.
I tried, but the words just don't come out.
That's because the heart doesn't speak It sings! I've had feelings for you from the very start.
First you broke some boards Then you broke My Heart! Aw Aw Snap boom, crack and snap.
Chop chop, hyah, chop chop chop! Well, I'm not doing that.
There he is.
We know what you're hiding in that locker.
Zane stole a laptop and when he realized Emmitt was on to him, he eliminated him and stuffed him into his locker.
No, I didn't.
I saw the dojo equipment was pretty beaten up, so I got this for you guys.
Aw.
You guys are freaks! I'm out of here.
Oh, excuse me.
I guess none of you people ever accused an innocent boy of being a homicidal maniac.
It happens! Hey, Frank, any interest in being the new Jack? Kickin' it with you.
Guys, I keep texting Kim, but she's not answering.
- I'm sure she's gonna show up.
- Yeah.
We're running out of time.
My dad's gonna be here any minute.
Man, I'm going to miss you guys.
You guys are literally the best friends I'll ever have.
And I love you guys.
Promise me you'll have each other's backs.
- Yeah.
Sure.
- Come on.
- I'm gonna miss you.
- Have a good time.
I never thought I'd say this Bye.
I didn't want him to see me like this.
- I almost forgot my stuff.
- Jack, what's up, bro? I'm just helping Eddie, because he's not strong like me.
You're overreacting.
Shh, be quiet.
- Bye, Jack.
- See ya.
So are you excited? Yeah yeah.
Hey, can you do me a favor? Give this letter to Kim? I wrote down some things that I wanted her to know.
Sure.
Ah The adventure that lies before ye.
Foreign lands, grand masters Don't even get me started on that waffle bar.
Yeah, it's a world-class facility, but this dojo is always gonna be home.
Of course it'll be but, this is an opportunity of a lifetime and you're getting a free ride.
I know it's free, but I can't help think that it might cost me everything that I care about.
- What do you mean? - I don't know.
It's just by the time I get back What we have in that dojo won't be here anymore.
It Oh, I didn't even think of it like that.
You're right.
I was so excited about what you were gaining, I didn't even think about what you were losing.
Don't get me wrong, the waffle bar sounds pretty great.
Oh yeah, no, the waffles are a given.
Martial arts is really important to me.
But so are my friends.
If I leave, I'll have one of those.
But if I stay, I'll have both.
Sounds like you know what you want to do.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
I'm really glad you're staying.
And I know this might sound a little crazy, but I would really like to Go to Otai and pretend that I'm you? All right, whatever.
I'm gonna go eat what's left of your face.
Oh Kim, Jack put some of his personal thoughts down in this letter and wanted me to give it to you, so see ya.
- Thanks.
- It's okay, Jack.
I did the same thing.
There's some things that I wanted you to know.
But promise me you'll wait to read it till you're on the plane.
I would but I changed my mind.
I'm not going.
Well, in that case, I'm just going to say it - I want my letter back.
- And I want mine.
So what made you change your mind about going to Japan? Oh, I don't know.
I thought it might cost too much.
And no matter how much I chop and punch it's not as cool as kickin' it with you.
This next song's going out to a couple of great kids.
And I don't want to embarrass them by saying their names, but they rhyme with shmack and shmim.
You know who you are.
And it's called "Crack, boom, snap and whap".
Crack, boom, snap and whap.
Whip, tap, dap dap, chop and bap.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle, hearts afire.
