"It was the last day of the war between humans and the giant monsters " " Kaiju." "[snarling]" "But to me, it's more than just history." "It's family history." "That's my mom." "They say her bravery saved the city that day, saved everything." "This is also the day my mom met my dad." "[growls quietly]" "Oh, yeah -- that's my dad." "FIREBREATHER [bird cries] [birds chirping]" "[dog barking]" "DUNCAN:" "Maybe I should skip." "Nothing says freak like coal for lunch." "WOMAN:" "You're not a freak, Duncan." "Get real, mom." "I eat coal." "And my skin?" "You can call it pumpkin." "You can call it tangerine or -- or burnt sienna, but let's face it -- it's orange." "And "orange" you just adorable?" "Ugh." "Duncan, this is a new school, not an execution." "Just try to socialize, make some friends, and " "And stop getting into fights." "But they're the ones who start it!" "Jerks are instinctively drawn to me, like... homing pigeons." "Duncan, you're a 16-year-old boy, like every other guy in your class, and every kid in that school has problems of their own." "[smooches]" "So, if you can just get along with people and keep your temper, everything's going to be just fine." "Message received." "And, Duncan..." "I love you too, mom." "Actually, that time, it was "rock on."" "[sighs] [door closes] [dog barking]" "Unh!" "[car alarm blares] Uh-oh." "[breathing heavily]" "Wh-- [tires screech] [rock music playing]" "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Yeah, Jenna!" "What's going on?" "[laughing]" "Yeah, looking good." "Check out the new kid." "[chuckles] [tires screech]" "Oh, I'm sorry." "I thought there was some bird crap on my rear view mirror, but now I can see it was just your face." "[laughter]" "Yeah." "That's a good one." "Whoo!" "[tires screech] [indistinct conversations]" "This is going to be the best homecoming ever." "Bye, Jenna." "See you later." " Ugh!" " Hey!" "[growls] You're so -- [gasps]" "So...hot." "Hmm?" "I, uh -- the coffee." "[chuckles nervously]" "I meant this coffee is -- is so hot." "Oh, I'm so sorry!" "I ask them to brew my café con leche at 150 degrees so it's still hot when I get here." "Diva, right?" "Uh, how did it not burn you?" "No, no, it feels good, actually." "I was freezing." "I don't know why they always have to blast the A.C." "in these schools, anyway." "It must be 80 degrees in here." "Oh, whatever." "I'm on the student council, so I'll see what I can do about getting the heat turned on." "[chuckles]" "I wouldn't have pegged you for the student council type." "Student council, chairwoman of the homecoming committee " "I'm that girl." "By the way, it's Jenna." " Ugh!" " Oops." "[imitates slicing] [growls] [laughs] [sighs]" "I'd like to ask the whole class to give a warm welcome to Duncan Xerxes Absalom Belphegor Gressil Pythius Wu Fan " "Uh, yeah, just "Duncan" is fine, Ms. Dreakford." "Oh, all right." "Take a seat, Duncan." "Hey, Duncan, sit here with Kenny." "He doesn't have a lab partner." " Uh, thanks, Isabel." " Hi." "Duncan." "Ken Rogers." "Kenny Rogers, huh?" "Do you know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em?" "No, not even a little." "Like reptiles and insects, amphibians are ectotherms and cannot internally regulate their body temperature -- what we used to call "cold-blooded."" "Why did we stop?" "Did the amphibians object to being labeled "cold-blooded"?" "[laughter]" "No, Mrs. Dreakford, this is so wrong for so many reasons." "Beyond the obvious animal-cruelty issues, students have a right " "DREAKFORD:" "Uh, Jen, that'll be enough." "No, a duty to refuse to do anything unbelievably gross." "That's quite enough." "Forcing us to mutilate these helpless innocent animals... [sighs] ...without offering a choice in the matter is clearly an abuse of the authority of the school board..." "DREAKFORD:" "Jenna, just zip it!" "[gasps] [snarls]" "In case, you know, some sick kids actually might enjoy cutting up frogs and pulling out their guts." " It's inhumane " " Whoa!" "Aah!" "Oh, no!" "They're waterboarding Kermit!" "[students gasping]" "Whoo!" "He's a jumper!" "Look out!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Uh..." "Whoa!" "Ohh!" "Aah!" "BOY:" "What is that?" "[laughter]" "Are you done?" "What is up with you?" "You make Troy look mature." "Stop it!" "[nail scraping]" "Settle down, everyone." "[school bell rings] [indistinct conversations]" "I can't believe that jerk." "What a dork." "And I actually thought he was kind of cute until he did that." "[sighs]" "Nicely done, man." "Just don't mention it, all right?" "Bad joke -- that's all." "[indistinct conversations]" "Okay, Mr. Belphegor Gressil Pythius, what's your secret?" "Hair gel, extra hold." "Ha!" "No." "How come your name is like an A-list of mythological bad boys?" "Care to explain?" "Unconventional parents." "You really know your cryptozoology." "Oh, yeah." "Isabel loves all that creepy stuff." "She's a giant monster fangirl." ""Monster" is in the eye of the beholder." "They're Kaiju, Kenny." "Fine." "Whatever." "[scoffs] Sorry." "They're not monsters." "They fight us because we keep trying to kill them." "16 years since Belloc was last seen, and we keep thinking the Kaiju are a threat?" " What's the matter?" " Ugh!" "[laughter] [growls]" "ISABEL:" "What sphincters." "Shouldn't evolution have weeded those guys out of the gene pool eons ago?" "No, cockroaches have remained unchanged for millions of years." "Well, you're clearly not a moron, so what was up with the idiot dance back in class?" "Did you like it?" "I've got some notes." "But I liked the part where you hid something in your jacket." "You gonna show me?" "Just keep it quiet." "[indistinct conversations]" "ISABEL:" "No way!" "Gomorradon -- unreal!" "It's kind of like a little tiny Kaiju." "It's a Gomorradon, my dear Duncan." "These things live on Kaijus." "They scout, warn of danger, and live off the slime that forms between their scales." "Sorry I asked." "What's it doing here, and how come you know all this?" "I read books on this stuff all the time -- small press." "Watch it." "Whatever you do, don't " "Ow!" "[gasps] Let it go." "[breathing heavily] Unh!" "Ugh!" "[chuckles] [chuckles]" "[footsteps]" "Right here -- this is the one." "This is definitely Jenna's locker." "[laughs] [grunting] Hye!" "Ow!" "[whimpering]" "You guys are morons." "Give me your library card." "And that's how it's done." "[laughter]" "All right, ladies, line up." "I'm your new gym teacher." "You can call me Coach Barnes or, once you come to love me, "Blitz."" "Hey, "Blitz," I was wondering when I'd run into you." "Gym teacher?" "That's your cover?" "Really?" "You're coming down in the world since the last school." "The whole vice principal thing really cramped my style." "I could only yell at the kids." "Here I can get a lot more physical." "[whistle blows] [students grunting, laughing]" "Heads up!" "Unh!" "Yeah!" "That's right!" "Two losers left." "Up yours, Troy!" "Unh!" "[light laughter]" "Time to take out the trash -- the trailer trash." "You really are the king of the jerk wads." "It's good to be the king." "[laughter]" "Enough!" "Huh?" "[chuckles] [bones crack] [stifled laugh]" "Hey, spread out!" "[laughs]" "No way." " Yeah!" " Whoo!" "How'd he do that?" "[growls]" "What?" "[laughs]" "Troy, catch with your hands, not your face." "[laughter]" "I didn't ask you to do that, you know." "I know." " Didn't need you to save me." " I didn't." "I just got sick of hearing the dillweeds crow." "Well, that was fairly cool." "Actually, you could take that show on the road and sell tickets." "No big deal." "[bones crack]" "Get lost, trailer park." "[laughter]" "Uh, it's a free country, amigo." "It's okay, Kenny." "Go." "[chuckles]" "You know what happens now?" "Well, traditionally, this is where" "I hand you your meat, all nice and on a slab." "[laughs]" "But I pretty much promised my mom I wouldn't fight, so... later!" "Get him!" "What is he doing?" "[growls]" "Hey, Blitz." "[laughs]" "[laughs] [growls]" "Ugh!" "girl:" "What?" "[girl screams]" "There he is!" "[laughs]" "Come on!" "You all right?" "[exhales sharply] [breathing heavily] [breathing heavily]" "You don't want to fight me." "Don't worry." "It's not going to be a fight, just a beatdown." "Leave me alone!" "Oh, forget this." "[breathing heavily] [gasps]" "Ugh!" "Holy hello, kid." "Way to keep a low profile." "Dude breathed fire, man." "W-What is he?" "Get to class now, or you're expelled." "It's not my fault!" "It just happened!" "Later, kid." "If Troy's hurt, he was asking for it." "Don't worry about it." "I was going to bench him, anyway." "He runs fine, but he couldn't hold onto a ball with a handle." "[keypad beeps]" "[energy pulsing]" "Well, this doesn't look too bad." "Are you kidding me?" "My face looks like the Australian outback." "More like the surface of Mars." "[laughs] Mars?" "No, it's not Mar" "I mean, a little bit Mars, but no." "Is this it, doc?" "Or should we expect other surprises?" "Well, obviously, Duncan's innate strength and resilience have been growing steadily since birth, but his natural fight-or-flight response created a hyper-stimulated state, which manifested itself as incendia respiro." "It's fire breath." "Yeah, you have it, Duncan." "You'll learn to control it in time, but until then, you're just going to have to stay out of situations with, uh, potential conflict." "Like high school?" "[chuckling] High school." "I remember high school." "That place didn't work out well for me." "What I'm asking is -- when will Duncan constitute a threat?" "To humanity?" "Duncan?" "No, no." "He's a sweet boy." "He's not a pandemic." "[chuckles]" "It's only a matter of time before " "WOMAN:" "Duncan." "Hi, mom." "Whose brilliant idea was it to bring Duncan here?" "Uh... how have you been, Margaret?" "It's been a while." "Look " " I-I don't like this, either, but there was little incendia respiro incident at school and " "That's what we call a "your problem."" "I have a legal contract with MEGTAF, stipulating my son have as normal a life as humanly possible." "And that's exactly what I'm doing, Margaret." "Your son's a fine kid, especially for a boy without a father." "I'd be happy to give you my two cents about him over dinner sometime." " Ah." " A son of a buck!" "[gasps]" "Not bad, huh?" "Very interesting." "Oh, baby." "It's an old gag, a classic." "The flash powder ignites on contact and -- poof!" " fireworks." "You can buy it at any decent magic shop." "What?" "That is such a load of bullcrap!" "The freak's mouth shot flames!" "Ugh!" "Troy, we have discussed school policy on name-calling." "And, Duncan, your prank could have ended in serious injury." "No, i-it did!" "My eyebrows were totally burned off!" "Troy, no offense, but I've had you in here so many times, your name should be on that chair on a brass plaque." "Now, since you're both at fault, you can either choose suspension, or work together to clean up the damage." "Your call." "Oh, yeah, right!" "Like I'm gonna do anything with that yob?" "[exhales sharply]" "Look, Troy, um " " I'm truly ashamed of my thoughtless, dangerous, and immature prank." "I'm sorry." "Are you kidding me?" "I know what I saw." "You are some kind of freak." "Just stay away from me." "Could've told you how that one would go." "So, you coming to the big party on Berkshire Lane Saturday?" "I wasn't invited to any party." "Nobody was." "It's a "someone's parents are out of town" party, where everybody just shows up." "Uh, yeah, i-it's not really my kind of scene." "I-I'm not totally comfortable." "Oh, come on." "You just tried to shake hands with Troy Adams." "This is like 10 times easier than that." "[indistinct conversations]" "Guys, seriously, it was in my locker." "When I got back, it was just gone." "Why were you keeping the money in your locker, anyway, Jenna?" "[scoffs]" "About that party -- everyone is going, seriously." "Everyone." "Uh...maybe I might stop by." "[crickets chirping] [dog barking]" "[owl hooting]" "Hmm." "Duncan Rosenblatt." "[clears throat]" "Where do you think you're going?" "Well, uh, it's like this " "I'm kind of going to a, um, party." "You were invited to a party?" "Oh, I'm so happy." "Your confidence in my people skills is overwhelming, mom." "Anyway, it's probably going to be just a couple of dorks sitting around playing video games." "Well, I hope you have fun." "[sighs]" "[tires screech] [dog barking]" "[electronic music playing] [indistinct conversations]" "Hey, Jenna." "Uh, so, about my little dork show in biology " "What?" "Y-You see, there was this thing, and I had to catch it." "What are you talking about?" "Duncan, right?" "As humiliating as I'm sure that was," "I would trade places with you in a heartbeat." "What's up?" "I saw everyone acting weird around you." "You haven't heard?" "I lost all the money we'd raised for homecoming." "No way." "I thought it was in my locker, but it's just gone." "I've looked everywhere." "I think I'm losing my mind." "I'm sure people think I just pocketed it." "Then people have their heads up their butts." "You'd never do that." "Thanks." "Anyway, it doesn't matter what anybody thinks." "The fact is, there's no dance without that money." "[sighs]" "I'd do whatever job to pay it back, but there's only two weeks left." "Look, Jenna " " I know you don't want to talk to me, but this guy is bad news." " Stay away from him." " What is up with you?" "You want to know the punishment for being stupid enough to date you?" "Dating you!" "I'm telling you -- he can do freaky stuff!" "[door slams]" "MAN:" "Troy!" "[music stops]" "What part of "grounded" didn't you understand?" "He is so busted." "[whimpers]" "You must be a glutton for punishment, boy." "[partygoers murmuring] [engine turns over] [tires screech]" "Wow." "Is that his dad?" "I guess the rage issue doesn't fall very far from the tree." "I bet he wishes his dad would just disappear." "[scoffs]" "It's getting late." "Excuse me." "What?" "Oh." "[chuckles]" "I -- okay." "Unh!" "Idiot!" "Struck out with Jenna, huh?" "You're not the first." "I wish I knew what I said to set her off." "Jenna's dad is dead." "Oh, man!" "How stupid am I?" "I mean, I totally know how bad it bites to grow up without a dad." "There's a rat in here!" "[snarls] [gasps]" "Whoa, something just crawled on my leg." "My purse -- it's in my purse!" "There's one right there!" "[partygoers murmuring]" "It's those things again." "Gomorradons." "[rumbling] Whoa!" "Whoa!" "[partygoers screaming]" "Whoa." "Aah." "[snarling]" "They didn't come alone." "That's their master." "Kaiju!" "Look out!" "It's Belloc!" "Seriously " " Belloc!" "Run!" "[growling]" "It doesn't make sense!" "Why now?" "Why here?" "Because I'm here." "He's looking for me." "Why?" "Because he's not only Belloc, king of the Kaiju." "He's also.... my dad." "[roars] [partygoers screaming] [roars]" "[sniffing]" "Is it smelling for you?" "He must know my scent." "I'm not kidding about him being my dad." "You better run, Isabel." "Aah!" "[metal creaking] [snarling]" "I said run!" "[breathing heavily] [gasps] [sniffing]" "Ugh!" "No!" "Let her go!" "You'll crush her!" "[grunts] [laughs evilly]" "I said let her go!" "Duncan." "Aah!" "[snarling]" "Let me go!" "[footsteps pounding] [snarling]" "Where are you taking me?" "[roars] [laughs]" "Excellent." "Huh?" "Duncan... let me look at you." "Why don't you just kill me and get it over with?" "If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead." "[inhales deeply]" "[gasps lightly]" "We are an ancient race, Duncan, so old we became myths to the humans." "They call us invaders, when it is they who have infested our world." "Where are we?" "Home, Duncan, your true home." "No way." "This isn't my home." "That doesn't change just because my father's a Kaiju!" "I am not a Kaiju." "I am Belloc, king of the Kaiju!" "Though you are my son, you are weak." "[breathing heavily]" "Unh!" "I'm strong enough!" "No." "The human world has made your heart soft." "You must be hard and remorseless if you are to rule over the Kaiju." "Listen." "They're assembling." "They've caught our scent." "Come." "[grunts]" "There is a war coming, Duncan, between human and Kaiju, a war that could end everything." "It is a terrible burden to bear." "But for the good of all, you have no choice." "You think I'm going to be king of these creatures?" "I am not a monster!" "You are my son!" "You are half-Kaiju, Duncan, superior to everyone you have ever known." "That's why you brought me here?" "You ignore me for 16 years, and you expect to train me for something that I don't even want?" "!" "[gasps]" "[snarling] [snarls]" "[roars]" "I'm your king." "This is my son." "You desecrate our race!" "You shame our ceremony!" "Bad enough you keep us from exterminating the human vermin." "Now you mate with them." "Who challenges their king?" "!" "You, Abaddon?" "Or you, Astaroth?" "[hisses]" "I thought as much." "Then I make my choice." "This is Duncan, my heir!" "W-What happens now?" "Ugh!" "Aaaaaaaah!" "[snarling] [roars]" "[snarling]" "[exhales slowly]" "[grunting] [roars]" "[roars] [hisses]" "Ugh." "[bird crying]" "What?" "[exhales heavily] [bird crying]" "[clicking] [whimpering] [insects chirping]" "[knock on door]" "Ken, it's me." " Duncan?" " Wait up." "Before you open the door, you need to know " " I look weird." " Yeah, I know." "No, I mean weirder than before." "Compared to this, I used to look great." "So brace yourself." "Okay." "You want a soda?" "So, you're not freaked out?" "Not really." "Belloc's all over the TV." "Our Kaiju alert level is red, which is like the highest." "Compared to that, you're just not that shocking, man." "Besides, when Isabel told me your old man was Belloc " "She told you?" "She tells me everything." "We're best friends." "It's like we have some kind of deep, mysterious connection." "Uh, yeah." "You can totally tell." "So, your dad's king of all monsters." " Cool." " No, not cool." "First of all, he did this to me." "That's why I came here." "My mom is going to seizure when she sees this." "It's not that bad, bro." "So, your mom -- she's human, right?" "Huh?" "[growls]" "Cool." "Yeah, so, not only is my dad, you know, a monster, but he's psychotic." "I'm not big enough." "I'm not tough enough." "I'm a total disappointment to him unless I do everything his way." "He -- [fly buzzing]" "Y-Your dad -- he's on a trip or something, right?" "Yeah, pretty much." "When does he get back?" "Yeah." "That's a good question." "We're friends, right?" "I mean, you can keep a secret?" "I think my old man is a spy or something." "Mm-hmm." "He can't talk about it, obviously, but the pieces fit." "He's always vanishing for months at a time, then reappearing without explanation." "Hmm." "That could explain it." "You can't tell anyone, okay?" "Consider your secret kept." "And if you could refrain from mentioning that it was my dad who crashed the party last night, that would be great." "What were you doing at that party anyway, bro?" "Isabel invited me." "Isabel invited you?" "No, no, she just told me about the party." "But Isabel was there, at the party?" "Yeah." "[telephone rings]" "Hello?" "Yes, this is Ken Rogers." "Who is this?" "Duncan?" "[sighs] Hi, mom." "[dog barking]" "Half of MEGTAF is scouring the desert for him, Margaret." "If Belloc's out there, we'll find him." "Colonel Barnes, maybe you should send out all of MEGTAF, since half of it is having difficulty finding a 120-foot giant." "But Mar-- [receiver slams]" "Ugh!" "Easy, mom." "It's not Barnes' fault Belloc is back." "[sighs]" "Well, it's certainly not your fault, and it's..." "Duncan, are you blaming me for this?" "Duncan, everything I've done, every choice I've made -- coming here, the deal, MEGTAF -- it's all been to protect you." "Well, it didn't do much good." "Nothing can stop the biggest monster in the world." "Your father is a great many things, but he is not a monster." "You don't know the things he's been through, the good things he's done." "I don't expect you to understand, but I did love him." "And he gave me you." "So, what am I?" "Am I human, or am I Kaiju?" "You're you." "That's all that matters." "I suppose, now that you've seen your father, you've probably got questions about how you were conceived." "Uh, I've got questions, but that is not one of them." "It couldn't have been more simple." "No, no." "No." "No, no, no, no, not listening." "♪ La la la la la la la ♪" "See, now you're just being rude." "This is why you don't have any friends." "I have friends... kind of." "I was at Kenny's house when you called." "He sounded very polite." "I'd love to meet him -- and your other friends." "I got time tomorrow after school." "Tomorrow?" "!" "You seriously think I'm gonna go back to school tomorrow?" "!" "Like this?" "!" "What do you think's gonna happen?" "I don't know what's going to happen, but this doesn't determine who you are." "You make your own choices." "Except for college." "You're going to college, no choice." "[sighs] [birds chirping]" "[school bell rings] [gasps] [indistinct conversations]" "Hey, hey, look -- there's the guy." "There he is." "[students cheering]" "Awesome, dude." "You are awesome." "[smooches] [giggles]" "BOY:" "He's so cool!" "Ugh!" "Freak." "[sighs]" "At least Troy still hates me." "I was afraid I'd lost my mind." "That's incredible." "You should have seen -- Look -- there he is." "We just want to say, what you did -- wow." "Uh, mind if we take a picture?" "[inhales slowly]" "Oh." "What up, superstar?" "This is nuts." "What were you telling those two just now?" "Just about how you got Belloc's attention, lured him away from the party and saved all their skins." "Oh, thanks, I guess." "Speaking of skins," "I kind of thought everybody would be freaked out by this." "Haven't you heard?" "Scaly is the new suede." "You see, when Belloc nailed you with the fire breath, your skin got all weird." "Isabel, what I told you... about Belloc." "Just before you saved my life?" "Yeah, what about it?" "[chuckles]" "Hey, Jenna." "Please." "Ugh!" "What?" "I'm still here." "Um..." "I'll catch you later, Isabel." "I-I just remembered there's something I got to do." "Yeah." "Sure." "There she is." "Let's get out of here." "[locker door opens]" "Huh?" "[gasps]" "Ohh!" "[giggles]" "Oh!" "[giggles]" "[crunching]" "Hey." "Hey." "I just wanted to say that was really amazing, you saving everyone and everything." "[sighs]" "You're a real hero." "I just ran." "He chased me." "First time I leave a party early and look what I miss." "Totally my fault." "I'm " " I'm really sorry I brought up " "What?" "Fathers?" "It would be kind of weird if no one talked about their dads in front of me." "Lots of people have them." "What's yours like?" "He...travels a lot." "So, is, uh, is homecoming off, or what?" "[cellphone ringing]" "No." "No, it's back on." "Turns out homecoming is going to be big this year." "Great." "So, who -- who are you going with?" "[ringing continues]" "Are you asking me?" "Yeah!" "[ringing continues]" "I-I mean, yeah." "I am." "Great." "For a minute there, I was afraid that I'd have to ask you." "[sighs]" "Going for a check-up with Doc Pytell doesn't usually make you so happy." "I'm not." "I doubt very much that she's got a skin cream that can handle this." "Well, then I'm guessing it has something to do with taking Jenna to homecoming." "Yeah, how -- how did you " "I'm your guardian angel -- I know everything, except how you got her to say yes." "Well, some of us got it and some -- wait, this isn't the way to the base." "Thought we'd take a little detour, see if anything out here'd jar your memory." "I already told you, I don't know where his lair is!" "Maybe." "But I think your body'll know when he's near and do the funky Kaiju." "Not happening, Barnes!" "I'm not your personal monster detector." "Try and stop me, junior." " I'm " " So dead " "Is that a threat, boy?" "No." "We're so dead." "Hold on!" "Can't hold her!" "Get down!" "Aaah!" "Duncan!" "Reach!" "[grunting]" "No!" "[gasping]" "[roars] [chomps]" "[crack] [wails]" "[grunts]" "Huh?" "This is Barnes." "I want every unit we've got deployed inside the perimeter, and I want it yesterday." "[roars]" "Aaaah!" "BELLOC:" "Yes!" "Better!" "What is this?" "A test?" "A stupid test?" "!" "Duncan, kill the Xornga, or it will surely kill you." "I don't want to fight!" "The Kaiju know of your existence!" "Any of them may challenge your right to succeed me at any time!" "I don't want to succeed you!" "But you do want to live." "Only your bloodlust will save you!" "Excellent, my son!" "Perhaps it is not too late for you." "[grunts]" "Finish it!" "Barnes!" "Fire!" "Get down!" "[roars]" "Stop it!" "Stop firing!" "You'll kill him!" "That's the general idea, kid!" "We kill monsters!" "But he's my father!" "Please!" "You can stop this!" "Aaaah!" "[growls]" "Come on!" "What are you doing?" "Shoot!" "Do it now!" "No!" "[breathing heavily] [growls softly]" "I surrender." "What?" "!" "Okay, boys." "Wrap him up!" "[men cheering]" "Duncan!" "[chattering] [rumbling]" "[roaring]" "Oh, boy." "[doorbell rings] [clears throat]" "Well." "Ahem." "You look nice." "Oh, yeah." "My mom picked out this suit." "I-I think it's kind of..." "Oh!" "You look nice, too." "You haven't been on many dates, have you?" "Well, first of all, relax." "And don't forget to give a girl a little attention." "Um." "Yeah." "Hello." "Oh, look, you brought your friends!" "That's so thoughtful." "We usually don't do school functions, but since this is the first dance with a Kaiju alert level, we didn't want to miss it." "Any other surprises I should know about?" "No." "[horn honks]" "Let's get this show on the road." "I'm supposed to be there early." " Oh, yeah." " Mm." "[roaring]" "♪ Aaaaah ♪" "Easy there, chief." "Save some for the after-party." "Hey, there." "[dance music plays]" "Duncan, did your mom just flash you the "rock on" devil horns?" "That's "l love you" in sign language." "Oh, that's so cute." "I guess the suit clashes with orange." "Everyone is staring." "Could you be just an eensy-weensy bit more self-absorbed, please?" "Duncan is not the center of the universe." "Got it." "Come on!" "[laughing]" "So, this is pretty cool, right -- that we came and everything?" "What is up with you?" "I'm just " " I just want to make sure you're glad... you're here...with me." "Oh, yeah."

"If the queen will please receive her crown, she may then perform the coronation dance with her king." "No way." "No way am I doing that to you." "It's okay."
