Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days

Want to grab that?

I can't believe it's so crowded here. School isn't even out yet.

Maybe we should come back.

How about never? That never sound good?

Boys a family swim is a great way to kick off the summer.

Let's not forget, opening day is free!

I hate going in there.

Remember, move fast and keep your eyes down.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Greg!

Hey I'm going to head out see if I can get a good spot. keep an eye on Manny.

What? But...

Manny?

Manny, no!

Washing my hands.

No, no, no.

But I'm so close to getting...

Summertime is for real games, not video games. Healthy stuff.

Like, let's see...

Swimming?

Time to sell some C.D.'s.

Are you kidding?

Rodrick, you can't play your music that loud.

Lenwood?

Is that Lenwood Heath?

Mr. Heffley, it's good to see you.

Mrs. Heffley.

Hi.

So... you've changed.

Oh yes I've been going to Spag Union Prep School.

They really turned me around there.

You may remember I was a bit of a troublemaker.

Nah.

Hey! you're cleaning all this place up! You hear me?

So, Spag Union, what grade does that start?

Eighth grade, sir.

You're going into the eighth grade.

Cannonball!

It's good to see you, sir. Ma'am.

He called me "sir".

He used to be so cool. Like me.

Loded Diper.

Bubby, over here!

Greg, honey, go help your brother.

What's so funny?

I'm peeing!

Okay so I have one more week of school, then it's summer vacation.

Which sounds great, but for me,

summer vacation is basically a three-month guilt trip.

Just because the weather's nice,

everyone expects you to be outside all day frolicking.

But the truth is, I've always been more of an indoor person.

To me, the perfect way to spend summer vacation

is in front of the TV playing video games.

Unfortunately, my dad's idea of a perfect summer is the opposite of mine.

The real problem is, me and my dad have absolutely nothing in common.

But as long as I stay one step ahead of him...

I think I have a shot at a fun summer.

Last day of school!

I know. It's kind of sad.

Sad? Are you crazy?

I'm going to play video games all summer. and It's going to be awesome.

There's one person I will miss.

Hey, guys!

Hi, Holly!

You'll see her when school starts again.

In three months? A lot can happen in three months.

Hey, Holly. How was your summer?

Great! I got married.

You know my husband... Chirag.

Hello, Gregory.

Last period of the school year people!

But it is still a school day, so...

open Discovering History to chapter 7.

It's the last day of school. Like anyone brought their books.

Classic Greg Heffley.

I pity him.

Of course you're not prepared.

Mr. Draybick, I'd be honored to share my book with Greg Heffley.

Fregley claims to wear a special cologne, but everyone knows he just never washes.

That's great!

Rowley.

I need to make a connection with Holly this summer.

I'm tired of being...

"friends".

What's wrong with being "friends"? We're friends.

I'll gonna get her to sign my yearbook.

But she signs lots of yearbooks.

But when she signs mine, I'll ask her to write her phone number, too.

Okay!

The rest of the class is free time.

Enjoy.

Hey, Holly. So what are you doing this summer?

Just regular summer stuff.

I'm going volunteering at the shelter, help build with Habitat for Humanity...

and giving tennis lessons to little kids.

What about you?

Greg going to get to the end of Twisted Wizard 2 this summer!

If I have time because of all the other stuff Ill be doing.

Hey, can I sign your yearbook?

Yeah, sure why not. You're only in seventh grade once.

That's not always true, by the way.

I think Andy Spitz has been in seventh grade for the last four years.

And... why don't you put your phone number, too?

Okay.

Come on Let's go!

Bye!

No!

Gregory!

Help me! Help me!

Would you sign my yearbook Holly?

Of course!

Holly, you didn't finish writing...

Isn't that your brother?

Loded Diper's coming to rock a town near you!

You're getting your yearbooks signed? That is so cute.

What the heck?

Honey, Greg was sick on picture day.

Did you remember send in a photo of him for his yearbook?

Yeah! I remembered!

That's Heather Hills.

Get in.

But I need to finish signing Greg's yearbook.

News flash. I don't care.

Sorry.

But wait you didn't...

So... Heather.

I'm going on a world tour with my band.

If you're around, probably I could comp you chicks some tickets.

- Let's go. - Wait! Holly!

She was trying to act cool, but I know she was into me.

"Rowley, you are so cute." Cute's underlined three times!

"Stay cool. XOXO, Holly." What did she write in yours?

"Have a great summer. You're such a good... friend."

"Friend"?

Oh, man!

That's the kiss of death. "Friend". That sucks!

Despite Rodrick's negative attitude, I have very clear goals for the summer.

One, to play video games. Two, to get together with Holly.

Or three, both at the same time.

Greg, you're an amazing gamer.

I know.

Our neighbors, the Warrens, have kids that are typically the outdoorsy type.

That's okay, but...

my dad has this crazy idea that physical exercise is normal.

Those guys are setting a bad example.

I know my dad has his eye on me, so the key to a successful summer...

will be to stay one move ahead.

Those Warren boys are already up, raring to go.

Our boys probably won't even get up till noon.

I'm sorry. Did you say something?

What are you doing up?

It's the first day of summer vacation. Did you think I'd just lie around all day?

Actually, that's exactly what I thought.

I can't find Manny's Tingy.

You know, it's probably time...

for him to move on from that ratty old blanket anyway.

Manny was given Tingy right after he was born.

Back then, Tingy was a fluffy blue blanket.

But now, it's a couple of pieces of yarn held together with raisins and boogers.

You don't think he cares anymore?

You know I'm sure it'll turn up.

What?

Look at this garbage.

My dad and I don't agree on anything, except for...

the comic Li'l Cutie. We both hate it. But we can't stop reading it!

You're my BFF... Best Father Forever!

- It's not even a joke! - I know.

Can we please focus? We need to find Manny's Tingy.

I'm going to be late for work.

See you!

Vacation is on!

Greg.

Are you really going to sit inside all day and play video games?

Hey, Dad.

Are you... sweating?

Yeah, I just finished up some sports... playing.

Hey honey how was your day?

Horrible! Manny still hasn't gotten never losing his Tingy.

Well, maybe it's for the best I mean. I think he should really move on.

Tingy!

Tingy! Oh, my gosh, honey, you found your blanket!

This is great, but how did it end up in the...

- Garbage? - Frank?

Yeah?

You didn't.

I didn't...

know...

that it meant that much to him anymore.

How could you?

- Good morning. - Morning!

Congratulations, player, all your hard work has paid off.

You're now a Level 9 Necromancer!

You played video games all day.

Me?

No. I've been playing sports.

Okay that's it! No more video games for the rest of the summer!

You can't do that!

Oh, yeah, I can! I will! I am!

I'm unplugging it!
