The first 120 lines.
I've seen this number thing before
so I'm basically totally an expert.
You're gonna have to listen to everything I say
if you want to get home.
All you need to do is learn stuff about yourself.
Maybe you should be taking notes.
Got a pen and some paper.
Oh, I have my receipt from Gas and Dog.
See, my brother Nate and I have this deal
where we always go halfsies on the Zesty Nacho Supreme...
Ugh, never mind.
Wait a second. You should be doing this.
Open the door. Learn something.
You're the boss.
This is so cool.
Whoa.
Jesse?
Aah!
Oh. Hello.
Bleh.
There you go.
Marcel is gonna hook you up.
And you are Marcel?
Oh, yes.
Check it out.
That's me.
Hey! Are you learning lessons?!
I learned his name is Marcel.
Does that count?Did your number go down?
No!Then it doesn't count!
Keep learning!
Well, there's a lot to learn here.
We just started.
I haven't had an explorer in ages.
As you can see, there's a lot of unmapped territory.
And that map I gave you.
The one you spit from your mouth?
Yeah. That's the one.
It's been torn to bits.
But if you find the pieces,
everything else will open up for you -- for me -- us.
So, this is great, huh?
Yeah. It's pretty good.
So, are you just gonna keep him now, or what?
Because I kind of just want to hang out with his deer.
Oh. I'm sorry.
Here you go.
Alright. Let's see this thing.
Hey, jerk!
What's the deal with your electric map?
I'm so sorry, but there can only be one explorer.
I don't make the rules.
You can tag along if you'd like.
It's pretty fun.Whatever.
Maybe you need to carry more stuff to get your number down?
Yeah. maybe.
Just show me the map.
Hmm.
Oh. Well, this seems pretty straightforward.
A little too straightforward.
The X seems right, but a dotted line?
Like following a line is gonna get your number down.
How about those?
You want me to walk on the mountains?
Definitely.
You'll get some balance in, overcome some hardships.
Can't get that on a dotted line.
So, Marcel, are you just gonna watch us the whole time?
Yep. Pretty much.
How am I doing?I like what I'm seeing so far.
Yes.
Huh?
H-hey, there's a piece of map up here.
Bring it here.
Can I take the dotted line this time?
Mmm, I guess. But on your way back,
think about your shortcomings, and how you deal with them.
You got it.
Okay. Let's put this map together.
Eh, you do it.
Not too bad.
But what we're really focused on...
Up again?
Is this thing working right?
Your hand is trash.
You've got to learn more stuff.
It's just weird that your number keeps going up.
Tell me what your problems are.
Hmm. Oh, well, one time during lunch,
my friend said they didn't like celery,
but I kind of like celery, so they gave me their celery.
And then, the lunch lady saw, and thought I was wasting celery,
so she stood there, and made me eat, like,
30 pieces of celery.
That sounds more like a problem the lunch lady needs fixed.
Do you think Mrs. Graham is on the train?
Yeah. Probably. But Mrs. Graham isn't here right now,
trying to hang out with my deer.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Phone time is not gonna fix you.
This is number time.
Huh?
Huh?
And now, look at that. That could be you chewing that map,
and your number could've dropped by 10.
Give, give it, give it, give it.
It's covered in Allen Dracula spit.
Is that alright?
I mean, the map had my spit on it,
and it's still good, right?
It's better than good.
Ah, water!
Are you okay?
Non-reflective.
Paper water.
Ha. I was just surprised that it wasn't real water,
and it's not reflective, or wet, or shiny, or something.
That's weird, right?
That's surprising.
That's -- Well, off to the mermaids.
