Max's Minions

Cherry, Kelsey, I asked my parents if I could go

to the new dance club this week with you guys.

And at first they weren't sure, but then they said yeah.

Yeah.

Hey!

No squealing in the halls.

Sorry, Principal Bradford.

We're just really excited because our parents

are letting us go to that new teen dance club this weekend.

It's called club--

Oops, I must be wearing my talk-to-me face.

Don't talk to me.

I can't wait.

Our first real dance club.

Can I get celebratory girlfriends?

You look happy.

What did you do?

You know me, Phoebs, always trying to spice up

someone's day.

Woooo!

Hot, hot, hot!

This chimichanga's stuffed with fire!

Jalapeño.

Hot sauce fountain.

Who would do such a thing?

Who put superglue on the hot sauce fountain?

You again, girlfriend?

You got it.

Quick, get some water from the bathroom?

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Remember, there are no small pranks, only small people.

Hey--hey, Principal Bradford, I was just talking about ya.

I used to be able to talk.

"Public school enemy number one, Max Thunderman."

Hmm, hard work does pay off.

I know you did this, Max.

I don't have proof, but I promise you I'll find it

before the blisters on my throat heal.

Whoa, nerd wall.

Can you guys move?

Meant away from me.

That prank you pulled on the principal was amazing.

The whole school's talking about it.

Ah, so you're fans, huh?

Who do I make this out to?

It's Tom.

There you go, Tim.

You hear that, guys, I'm Tim now?

Mr. Prank King, wait.

We were wondering if you could teach us your pranky ways.

Guys, pranking isn't something you can learn.

You either got it--

We'll pay you.

--or you got money.

We'll do whatever you say.

Hmm, I will need minions if I'm gonna take over

the world someday.

You mean the school?

Yeah, that.

All right, let's get started.

Right after we get this smudge off Lionel's shirt.

We just started, didn't we?

Yep.

Look who it is?

My favorite people.

Are there two Channing Tatum's behind us?

Yeah, I think she means us, but I'm gonna check anyway.

I can't wait for this weekend.

Thank you so much for letting me go to Club Ooh Ooh.

Uh, you've been doing a great job with school, you deserve

to dance the night away at Club Ew-ew.

No, Hank, it's Oooh-ooh.

Oahhh, oahhh.

Oah. - Boh.

Stop that.

Anyway, my friends and I are so excited.

We're getting our hair done, getting our nails done.

Getting our chores done.

Oh, yeah, not a problem.

Before you go to the club.

Uh, yeah, that's a problem.

Phoebe, your chores have been piling up,

and you promised you'd do them.

But there's a bazillion things on here.

I won't have time to get clubbed up with my friends.

Oh, welcome to Club Not Our Problem.

Here's your VIP pass.

All right, if I just don't sleep and have breakfast

in the shower, I can get this done before the weekend.

Double sided?

Alert, alert.

Max and non-supes approaching.

Check it out, Tom, that girl you stare at in math is here.

Shut up, Lionel.

Hey, I said no dweeb chatter.

Now get downstairs.

What are those guys doing here?

They're my new minions.

I'm going to mold them in my image and take over the world.

Or at least buy cool stuff with their money.

How does he get minions?

I'm the one with chores.

I want minions.

I'm gonna get you, Nora.

Ah.

Hello, minions.

You'll never catch me.

You were saying.

Billy, Nora, how would you guys like to get

real superhero training?

Really?

I could use it.

Billy just outsmarted me.

Billy.

It'll be great.

When I was your age, dad used some pretty fun exercises

to make me a better superhero.

What are you guys, like six and eight?

We're 9 and 11.

Wow, you guys are way behind.

I don't wanna fall behind.

Train me first.

No, me first!

Easy, minions--I mean, students.

You guys can train together.

It'll be a lot more work for me, but you guys are worth it.

Max-imize yourself.

Only way to become the best prankster you can be is

to stop being you and become me!

Any questions so far?

Um, sir, why do you wear a microphone

when you're right next to us?

Impact!

All right, MAX.

M--mindlessly heed Max.

A--aspire to be Max.

X--exactly like Max.

Exactly begins with an E.

I said "mindlessly heed Max"!

All right, we'll start prank lessons tomorrow,

but first homework.

Yes!

Tonight, you'll all have to watch my DVD

"Pranky Max Thunderman, You're Welcome."

You owe me $12.95 each.

We gave you all our cash.

Do you take credit cards?

Yes.

But I don't give them back.

Behold my superhero training dojo.

That's weird, because dad calls this the yard.

It's actually the location for our level one training.

Oh.

Now today we'll be battling the hedges

and imprisoning the leaves.

Here are your weapons.

Cool, giant scissors.

Can't wait to run with these babies.

And we're switching.

Aren't these just garden tools?

Ah, maybe to the untrained eye.

But to an advanced superhero, they're what I said earlier.

You do wanna be an advanced superhero, don't you?

I do.

Me, too.

Okay, now these will help with your hand-eye coordination.

And this will help with your strength and rake-icity.

I'm gonna rake this city clean.

All right, you guys keep training.

I gotta get to the nail salon--library,

to plan your next lesson.

Quick, the leaves are escaping!

All right, come on, guys.

Okay, Tom, when Bradford comes around that corner--

Hold on, you didn't say we were pranking the principal.

Lionel, if you wanna be the best,

you gotta take on the top dog.

Or if you want to quit, that's fine, too.

Just gotta pay the quitting fee.

No, no, I'm not quitting.

I can't afford to quit.

Now that's the right attitude.

Tom, got your pie, let him have it.

Let him have it.

Got it.

Principal Bradford, here you go.

Thanks.

I nailed him.

His appetite's so ruined for dinner.

Tom?

Yeah?

Oh, now I get it.

Guys, we're gonna work on this all day

until you get it right.

Guy, we've worked all day, and you haven't gotten

anything right!

Hey, better hope this prank works, because
