"Oh, I've just been having trouble sleeping lately, 'cause of..." "I'm so excited about the Land Ship." "Tina's got the Land Ship fever." "Or she has a real fever." "Can you just hold your hand there for a second, Dad?" "I'm just gonna take a quick... (snoring)" "T..." "Tina, I can't..." "I got to..." "I can't hold..." "Tina, I can't hold my hand here."

"I've been having so much fun with you, Tina." "Me, too." "I mean, me with you, not me with me." "I've never spent this much time with a girl." "And I've never spent this much time with my spicy side." "(grunting)" "Whoa!" "Jordan, did you mean to do that?" "I sure did." "That was my first kiss." "I couldn't tell at all." "It had a lot of the same things that real kissing has in it." "You inspire me, Tina." " You make me feel like I can do anything." " You can!" " You make me want to punch the air." " Punch it!" "(grunts) You make me feel like I can jump over this parking meter." "That looks a little high." "(grunting) Um..." "I want to maybe try that again another time?" " Okay." "Yeah." " Hey, listen, tonight we're gonna tag something really special." " A greeting card?" " No, even better." "The sail of the Land Ship." " Wait, what?" " Picture it... a giant Ghost Boy 20 feet tall." "They unfurl the sail during the parade..." "Ghost Boy!" "The crowd is stunned." "And we know it was us who did it." "It's just seems like that's really big and the Land Ship is important to history and people'll be upset and we could go to jail and..." "Oh, you're kissing me again." "You're so wild, Tina." "Yeah, I am." "Right?" "So, are you in or are you in?" " I'm in." " Should we kiss more?" "Yes, but let's work on a couple things." "You don't have to cover my nose and my mouth with your mouth." "(low grunting)" "You're still doing it." "O...okay, just..." "You... (both grunting)" "So tired." "Got to look up sails." "Am I really going to tag the sail of the Land Ship with Jordan?" "He is a bad kisser." "But he's a bad boy, and I guess bad boys are bad kissers." "Oh no." "I just typed all that into the search bar!" "Delete." " Delete." " So, everything is normal with you and you're not acting weird at all." "Oh, good, I'm glad you think so." "Except for what are you looking at right now?" "Aha." "Sails." "Wait." "Sails?" "Yeah." "I've just always wondered what sailing was like, so now I know." "And how do you explain this?" "I found it in your room." "A bandana." "Flair for your microphone stand?" "(gasps) You're joining Aerosmith!" "Guys." "I just need to do my sail reading." "Please." "Jordan." "Sails." "Tired." "Bandana." "All in one week." "I'm gonna figure this out, Tina." "You and Jordan are making tiny boats with bandana sails for tiny, nocturnal animals." "Oh!" "That's not it!" "But I'm gonna get it." " (bell jingling)" " Bobby's back." "What'd the guy from the city say?" "Are they moving the stank tanks?" " No, Teddy, they're not." " Aw." "In fact, when I explained there were four Porta Pottis in front of my restaurant, they said there should be five." "They're adding another." "You know what?" "If they won't move them, I will." "I'm gonna move 'em." " Yeah." " Tonight." " Get 'em!" " Just like they moved the Land Ship." "Under the cover of darkness." "Let's do it." "We'll rock 'em back and forth" " and then slaughter everyone inside." " Yeah." "JORDAN:" "Tina, this is so intense." "We're like Bonnie and Clyde." "Didn't they get shot at the end of the movie?" "Maybe say "spoiler"" "before you give away the end of a movie, okay?" "(fluttering) Aah!" " What was that?" " It was a pigeon." "It wasn't a tiny flying security guard?" "No." "Okay, let's hoist the sail." "Okay." "According to my notes, first we have to announce we're raising it." "For safety reasons." "Raising the mainsail." "Okay." "Thank you for letting me know." "What's next?" "Then we pull on the halyard." "And I think that's this." "Um, okay, well, that seems like a good start." "Maybe we should, uh, go home and come back tomorrow, um, good night's sleep, and finish." "(grunts) Little help?" "Oh, right." "It's the perfect canvas." "It's literally canvas." "Almost too perfect to paint on, right?" "Where are you going?" "Up the ladder?" "Okay, great, here I come." "I'm totally on board with this." "(groaning softly)" "You say something?" "No. (Continues groaning)" "I swear I keep hearing something." "I don't hear anything. (Continues groaning)" "Whoa." "We really did it." "Yeah." "So should we furl up the sail?" " What?" " Furl up the sail." "Oh, I thought you said go back in time and not do this, but yeah, sure, let's get furlin'." "LINDA:" "Which shoes are better for moving Porta Pottis, Bob... flats or pumps?" "Flats, I guess." "But why are you in a dress?" "It's the only black thing I own." "You said to put on dark colors so we blend in with the night." "Okay, well, just hurry up." "Teddy's gonna be here in a little bit." "I just got to do my eye makeup and curl my hair." "Lin, you don't need makeup." "But I want to do a smoky eye." "I never get to dress up." "See you tomorrow for the big reveal." "Yeah." "See ya." "Wait." "Aren't you forgetting something?" "Oh, yeah. (Low grunt)" "Bye." "Mm..." "Oh, God." "Wash it off, wash it off!" "What have you done?" "LOUISE:" "Exactly." "Aah!" "We looked in the Porta Potti and found a porta naughty." "You've been sneaking out at night" " to meet Jordan, haven't you?" " (Soft crying)" " Wait, are you crying?" " I've been sneaking out because Jordan is Ghost Boy and I've been helping him and then we did something like kissing and then I ruined" "Bonnie and Clyde for him by saying they die and then we painted a giant Ghost Boy on the sail of the Land Ship and now the parade is gonna be ruined." "Because of me." "Wait, wait, wait." "What?" "Bonnie and Clyde die?" "Jordan is Ghost Boy and you're helping him?" " Yes." " Wow." "I was way off." "I thought it was the bland leading the bland." "I graffitied the Land Ship." "What do I do?" "I wear white underwear." "And, honey, what you need is some bleach." "Wait, I got it." "I can paint over it." "I just need a bunch of white paint now, in the middle of the night, when paint stores aren't usually open." "Wait a minute." "You say "paint"" "and I say t'ain't no problem with that, because I know there's some in the basement." "Ta-da!" "Paint." "And spackle." "(gasps) How did you know about this, Gene?" "Let's just say I thought this tarp was a tent and I thought that spackle was marshmallow fluff." "And I was right, in a way." "I'm going back to the Land Ship." "We're coming with you." "Yeah." "Let's go unpaint the town." "(bell jingles softly)" "Where's Teddy?" "We need his truck to move the Porta Pottis." "This is so exciting." "You know who would love this?" "The kids." "Oh, yeah, you're right." " Should we wake 'em?" " No." "Let 'em sleep." "Plus we all might get arrested." "Let's push these Pottis." " LOUISE:" "Tina, wow." " I know." "This isn't gonna work." "We don't have enough time." "Great, let's get started." "We're gonna get caught here." "We're gonna get in trouble." "I don't hear paint brushes." " Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Easy, boy." " More gas, Teddy." " More gas." " So, faster?" " Uh, uh, uh, easy." " Yes, faster." " Faster." "Punch it." " Easy, easy." " Okay, punch it." " Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Whoa." " Teddy, don't listen to Linda, just go." " Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Easy..." "No, no, no, no." " What am I doing?" " They're gonna push into each other and just slide right up the street." "Bo..." "They're tipping." "Oh, God, she's right." "Teddy, stop." " Pull forward?" " Yeah, but not too quickly." " Quickly?" " Oh, they sloshed." "(gags) Aw, that's not a good smell." "Uh..." "I was never here." "Love your dress, Linda." "See you tomorrow." "Oh, my God." "They won, Bobby." "The Porta Pottis won." "Come to bed." "LOUISE:" "Well, this is what's known in the sailing world as "good enough"." "Oh, no." "We missed a spot." "Tina, we got to go." "People in costumes are gonna be here soon." "I'm going back up to get it." "No." "There's not enough time." "I'm no scientist, but that looks like the sun coming up." "I got to finish undoing what I did." "(grunting)" "Can't quite reach." "Someone's here." "Tina, hurry up." "(straining):" "Almost got it." "Aah!" "The British are coming!" "(grunting)" "Last little spot." "(whispering):" "Gene, what's happening with the reenactors?" "They're eating breakfast burritos and doing gentle stretching." " (fife playing)" " Now they're fifing!" "Oh, my God, they're fifing toward us!" "(grunts) Got it." "Done." "(all grunting)" "LINDA:" "Kids." "Come on." "It's time for the Land Ship." "Can I have a cup of coffee?" "Or a hard slap in the face?" "No." "And why are you all yawning so much?" "Why are you yawning?" "Because you were yawning, so I..." "I... just yawned." "So you're a copycat." "Come on, let's go." "If we miss the reenactment we're gonna have to reenact the reenactment." "Yup." "Let's go watch the ship set jail." "I..." "I mean "fail." I mean "terrible secret."" "I mean "sail."" "Aw, puberty." "(fifes playing a tune, crowd applauding)" "(Frond whoops)" "Patience!" "Patience Headbottom, hi!" "I, uh, know her." "Here comes the Land Ship." "I'm gonna rock you like that boat." "Come on!" " Aah, stop!" "Don't rock me, Zeke." " Come on!" "(Exclaiming)" " Too hard!" " Jordan." "Oh, hey." " Uh, maybe you should go." " What?" "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but right here with you right now." "Uh..." "All hands hoay." "Rock it, boys." "Raising the mainsail." "This is it." "Come here." "I want to, um... kiss your eyes with my hands." "Stop, silly." "Wait." " What the hell?" "!" " Uh, yeah." "What the hell?" "What happened to our giant Ghost Boy?" "I know." "So much." "What you said." "We were up all night." "We made so many stencils." "Well, we might as well enjoy the parade." "Wait." "Tina, did you do this?" "What?" "Yes, I did." "Excuse you?" "We did." "Yeah." "We saw the sunrise." "It was beautiful." "I cried." "Why, Tina, why?" "At first I liked doing graffiti with you, but then we went too far." "This just isn't me." "It's not." "Trust me, Jordan, it's not." "I know her." "Hold on." "Jordan, you're Ghost Boy?" "And Tina, you're a tag hag?" "What?" "!" "Yes." "Yes, I'm Ghost Boy, okay?" "And Tina's my girlfriend, or I thought she was." "She went out with me for the last five nights and we tagged the whole city." "And we kissed." "She was my first kiss." "And my last." "You painted over my heart, Tina." "Jordan, someday you're gonna meet a great girl who doesn't care about good kissing or the law or anything." "I just know it." "Whatever." " Hey, you're Ghost Boy?" " Yeah." "Do you want to, like, um, hang out?" "Yeah." "Oh, that was faster than I thought." "Tina, you saved the Land Ship parade." "Well, technically I ruined it." "But then I saved it." "Girl, you got a dangerous streak and a not-dangerous streak." "I like it." "Tina, I have so much more respect for you now." "Thanks, Tammy." "I still have the same amount of respect for you." "Which is not much, but, um, forget it." " Wait, Tina, you went out with Jordan?" " Yeah." "And you guys kissed?" "Well, it was sort of like kissing, but it was hard to breathe, um..." "Okay, I don't need the details." "You want to watch the rest of the parade together?" "Oh, I..." "I thought we were watching it together." "Yeah, but now we officially are." "Okay." " (bell jingles)" " JIMMY:" "Ha." "Look at the line in front of the Porta Pottis there, Bob." "Never seen a line in front of your place before." " 'Cause you never have a line." " Yeah." "All right, Trev." "Oh, Jimmy will you p..." "Wait a second." "Two more burgers of the day, Bob." "Coming right up." "Oh, my God." "This is turning into a great day." "We're gonna make a killing.
