Milo Murphy’s Law

Okay, Milo. How about on a scale of one to ten?

I would rate this a six. I would say it's at least a seven or eight.

Wait, is ten the best or the worst?

Uh, maybe we could rate this adventure later, you know, if we survive.

And if we don't? Then we don't rate it.

For now, can we just figure out the surviving part?

Well, we might be able to llama our way out of this.

Oh, just like the llama incident.

Okay, that's it.

You guys are always talking about the llama incident.

What is the llama incident?

I don't think we're always talking about it.

Yeah, what conversations would that even fit into?

A lot.

I would've had extras but you know, the llama incident.

Last time he came, there was a llama stampede.

My t-shirt launcher is still filled with knockout gas from the llama incident.

I've seen you walk a tightrope over stampeding llamas.

Llama incident.

Llama incident.

Ila. Ma. In. Ci. Dent.

Llama incident.

Well, we might be able to llama our way out of this.

Oh, just like the llama incident.

Oh, I hadn't realized we talk about it so much.

Looks like we're gonna have to let him into the llama club, Milo.

All right, then. Sit back, relax and get ready to hear the llama story.

Actually, don't sit back because you'll fall to your doom.

It was last fall.

Melissa was stuck on a tightrope over the football field.

Milo, I can't do this much longer. What's the plan?

Not sure yet but I'm working on it.

Why are there all these llamas at the football game?

And that was the llama incident.

Hold on. How did the llamas wind up at the football game?

Okay, let me back up.

Back at the turn of the century...

- Really? It starts in 1900? - No, this century.

The year 2000.

Oh, okay. Go on.

A man named Edwin Garner came into a large inheritance.

But the inheritance wasn't money.

What are these llamas doing here?

I told you, Uncle Irwin left me the llama farm.

Just not the farm part.

Stop. Stop there.

Why does he have such a thick Boston accent?

Oh, he was originally from Boston. Oh, okay.

But I think you backtracked too far. Jump ahead.

Oh, okay. So, Garner bought a little theater in town,

a little 99-seat place, Equity Waiver.

Anyway, 15 years later he had a whole string of them,

and there was an avant garde play festival using Garner's llamas in the cast.

There were shows like Hello Dolly Llama,

Annie Get Your Llama, Death of A Sales Llama.

Some of the titles were better than others.

" Llamalet, it's Hat but with Llamas."

Well, I guess that quote says it all.

I always confuse camels and llamas.

Are llamas furry? Or is their skin like a briefcase?

Furry. Neither is like a briefcase.

I wonder what I'm thinking of.

A briefcase? That's it.

So, we're at Garner's theater,

and all things considered, the play was going pretty well.

Hamlet had just asked for forgiveness

but Laertes wasn't having any part of it.

I think.

And I thought it was hard to understand Shakespeare in human.

That's right around where Murphy's Law kicked in.

My backpack.

Stop that llama!

And I got my backpack back.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. What's with the polar bear?

And how did you get from the glacier to the football game?

Well, we couldn't just leave those llamas on the iceberg.

So, I used my t-shirt cannon to shoot knockout gas at the polar bear,

which we used to frighten the llamas in a southerly direction.

From there, it was a simple matter of a dog sled,

seaplane and public bus system back to town.

Okay, mission accomplished.

We just have to get these quadruped thespians back to their respective theaters.

But they seemed confused and unmotivated.

How do you motivate a llama?

Well, we could lure them with pistachios. Pistachios?

Didn't you know that llamas love pistachios? You're asking me?

I thought they had skin like a briefcase.

Who knew pistachio gelatin was so heavy?

Who knew pistachio gelatin existed?

I could've sworn I had some pistachios in here, somewhere.

Hey, I found them. Oh, that works, too.

Milo, what do I do?

If I were you, I'd probably run.

So, then you went to the football game? Let's see.

Hamlet, ballet, graduation, beauty salon, cargo ship,

glacier, bus, pistachio gelatin,
