-Hello, and welcome to my presentation.
Have you ever wondered how close we are
to paying back my dad for the boat we exploded?
Well, now I can show you in
chart form!
-Whoa! We're so close.
Look, the red is almost to the top!
-Yes!
-Uh, no.
The white is how much of the boat we've paid off.
So we still have this much to go.
-Why would you make a chart like that?
-Because when you have a fever, which is bad,
the temperature goes up.
So the payments, which are good,
make the temperature go down.
-From now on, I'm in charge of charts.
[knocking on door]
-Oh, hey, Dad.
I thought you were hanging
out with your boat buddies today.
-I changed my mind.
It's no fun hanging out with boat buddies
when you don't have a boat.
Speaking of boats,
I saw the Professional
Federation of Thumb Wrestling
is having a tournament in Altoonisburg.
Do you know what the prize is for winning?
-A hug from a panda?
-No. A boat!
-A hug from a boat?
That doesn't make any sense.
-He's talking about winning a boat,
which would mean we wouldn't have
to do any more jobs to pay him back.
-Exactly.
And I heard Presley's an
expert at thumb wrestling.
You should enter that tournament
and win me that boat.
-Tedward, my thumb wrestling past
is something I don't like to talk about.
-Okay. Well, if you're not comfortable--
-I was seven years old.
[dramatic music]
And the number one ranked junior thumb wrestler
in the state.
I called myself
Thumbderstorm!
I was in the championship match
against a jerk named Rago.
-Wait, Rago!
Before you fight, let Mama
kiss your thumb for luck.
-Now my thumb is mighty!
♪ ♪
-Fight!
-I did my signature move,
pretending I had a thumb cramp.
[grunts]
When he tried to pin me,
I surprised him.
But my thumb slipped.
He pinned me and won.
-[laughing harshly]
[laughing in slow motion]
-I was humiliated and vowed
never to compete again.
-I got to admit, I wasn't expecting
such a dramatic thumb wrestling story.
-Presley, it was such a long time ago.
Can't you get back into the ring?
-There's too many painful memories.
Well, really just that
one, but it's very painful.
But I can do the next best thing.
I'll train one of you.
-Oh! Pick me!
-Eh, fine. I don't want to touch
random people's thumbs.
-Yes! You hear that, boys?
We're going to the big leagues.
[upbeat music]
-[sighs]
Maybe I shouldn't have left the big city.
Nothing exciting ever happens here.

Oh, my gosh! Is that pop sensation, ZooZoo?
-Stop asking questions, milk man,
and get her a milkshake stat!
-I need to commandeer this. It's for a celebrity.
What happened?
-This hero saved my life.
I was in the crosswalk on my phone,
just looking at pictures of myself,
and almost got hit by a bookmobile!
-The only thing worse than libraries
are moving libraries.
-He pushed me out of the way at the last second.
How can I repay you? [gasps]
Do you want tickets to my concert?
-Yeah, I'm not really a fan.
-Well, is there anything I
can do to pay you back?
-Knowing the crosswalk is
safe is the only payment I need.
-Okay.
-Wait!
I want a dune buggy.
-For real?
-I've always wanted a dune buggy
to patrol the crosswalks all around Altoonisburg.
-Sounds dumb.
But if that's what you
want, that's what you'll get.
-I also want a hammerhead shark to go--
-You get one thing.
-Dune buggy it is.
[upbeat music]
-My old thumb wrestling trunk.
I haven't opened this since I was seven.
Me on the cover of "Thumb Wrestling Insider."
They called me an "up-and-thumber."
I have everything in here I need
to turn Munchy into a champion.
-Ooh, and I'll create a thumb
wrestling costume for him.
-Oh, great idea.
Thumb wrestling is % having a great costume,
% thumb strength,
and % agility.
-That's too many percents.
-I'm sorry, was your thumb on the cover
of "Thumb Wrestling Insider?"
Mm, didn't think so.
Now let's get to work.

Please tell me you're entering the tournament.
I would love to destroy you once again.

I am.

We can thumb dance right now. Come!

-Thumb grease is illegal.
It makes your thumb impossible to pin.
That must be how Rago b*at me when I was seven.
-And why my thumb slipped off and he pinned me.
-Okay, guys, all we have to do
is tell the ref that Rago is a cheat.
He'll be like, "Rago is
out!"
He'll be disqualified, and you
can win that boat for Tedward.

myself that I can b*at him.
