Good morning, Arcadia Oaks.
It's 4:30 a.m.
If you're still in bed, you are missing the most beautiful sunrise,
clear skies, and a beautiful morning ahead.
And big news...
Yield, Kanjigar.
A Trollhunter never yields.
I'd rather die.
Terms accepted.
Your turn, Bular. Yield.
There is nowhere left for you to run, Trollhunter.
Give me the amulet.
- -
It all ends here.
It's me or the sun. Either way, you're doomed.
No. The amulet will find a champion.
We will stop you and your master.
I may end, but the fight will not.
No!
Love you, Mom.
Raccoons!
We're late for school, Jimbo.
Sorry, Tobes. Busy with the lunches.
One for me, one for Mom, and...
Ah...
Balsamic mushrooms, meatloaf, chunky, sun-dried tomatoes.
- And cardamom. - Ooh! Taking a chance there, Chef Jim.
- What's life without a little adventure? -
- Bye, Mom! - I can't eat this. I'm on a diet.
You've been on a diet for the past 14 years, Tobes.
- I know. - You're 15.
Long-term goals. My body's still changing.
I'm right... I'm right... I'm right behind!
It's 8:00!
We're going to get suspended, on account of meatloaf!
Take the canal, Tobes. It'll save us five minutes.
Not... the... canal!
Oh, live a little.
It's living that I'm worried about.
Come on, Tobes. Don't you ever want a little more excitement?
No.
Come on, Tobes!
James... Lake.
Whoa!
Ha!
How awesome are we?
Awesome!
Hey! Hey, Tobes.
- Did you hear that voice? - What voice?
- James Lake. -
That! That pile of rocks knows my name.
It's a pile of K-spar. Minerals don't talk.
There's got to be a walkie-talkie in here or something.
Huh. It looks like an amulet.
Who's doing this? Come out now!
Hello. I'm listening.
- -
Final bell!
We're so late, our kids are gonna have detention.
Come on. Come on, Tobes. We can still make it.
I'm right behind.
It chose a human?
The Peloponnesian War was actually three wars
fought between Athens and Sparta.
The first war is known as the Archimidian War.
Type that into your search engines. A-R-C-H-I-M-I-D-I-A-N.
Really?
Close your mouth. You're drooling.
No. No, I'm not. What are you doing?
- Research. - Hey, look up "talking amulet."
I already did that. All I got was toys. One of them was a plushie.
- Jim, would you agree? - Sir?
With Herodotus' opinion on his tactics of war, as I've described.
- Oh, uh... -
- Absolutely. - Excellent. Which tactics, specifically?
The, uh... winning ones?
- - All right, all right.
Don't forget, Michaelson, chapters four and five.
Jim, may I have a word?
Oh.
Jim, you're distracted.
You fell asleep between the invasion of Attica and the Peace of Nicias,
and your attention wandered for the rest of the class.
Sorry. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
I know it's just you and your mother and you want to help her.
She's just really tired, Mr. Strickler.
She's been working double shifts at the clinic.
I believe I'm overdue for a conversation with her.
- Have her call me, please. - Uh...
And feel free to drop by my office if you ever need to talk.
Yeah, I'll do that.
Oh, and, Jim, if you fancy Miss Nunez,
I submit that talking to will be much more effective than staring at.
Hang on. Almost there.
So close. So close!
Come on, Tobes. You've got this.
So close!
What is that on my rope?
Every student here should be able to climb this rope and ring that bell.
I want all of you to be made of iron. Iron! You have got to be kidding me.
- I don't know what I feel more sorry for. -
- You or the rope. -
- - Buenas noches.
You speak Spanish?
- - Um... um... uh...
- Come on, Claire. -
- Uh... -
- Do you like Shakespeare? - What?
- Do you like Shakespeare? - Shakespeare?
The school play. We're having trouble getting boys to audition.
Uh... Oh!
- Hasta huevo. - It's like a flabby piñata,
and I'm pretty sure you're filled with candy!
So close!
- You talked to her? - Yep.
Like, actually spoke to her? Not just, you know, in your head?
I unleashed my Español on her.
Oh, no. You should totally do it.
What? The play? I'm not an actor.
Come on. You're always saying how you want your life to be more exciting.
Right?
I don't think Romeo and Juliet is exactly the answer, Tobes.
I don't mean just, you know, exciting. I mean... more.
I just need to know that there's something more to life than high school.
- -
Something more?
- -
Hello?
Anybody in there?
Hello?
- Got one! -
Whoo-hoo! Finally!
Success, success.
So, good news, dude. My orthodontist says I'm almost done with my braces.
Only four more years.
Okay. Nothing to see here.
- We can't just let him do that. - Oh, yes, we can.
If Psycho Steve's terrorizing him, he's not terrorizing us.
Jim? Jim! Oh, no.
Tell me again, dweeb-face.
Tell me about the creatures and maybe I'll let you out!
Or you can let him out right now. I mean, you know, it would be nice.
Nice would be you minding your own business.
Oh, hi, Jim.
So, where were we? Um... Oh, yeah, okay.
You were telling me about the monsters you saw this morning, with fangs and...
- What was it, again? - Stone for skin! In the canal!
Stone for skin? Man, Eli, you've got some imagination.
Look, Steve, seriously, just let him out.
- Or you'll do what? - Okay, do it. Punch me.
