Out of the way, Nar-Do.

The Tomb of Dos is ours now.

Why, Yu-Got.

So, the student has returned
to best his master.

Yes, it is now my turn
to teach you.

Do you really think your Yu-
Gotta-Go cards can b*at mine?

Eeny, meeny, miney...

go!

GIRL:
It's the Robotic Sushi Chef!

What do we do,

Yu-Got?

Try this on for size, Nar-Do.

School's out.

Not yet, Nar-Do.

It is now.

Say hello
to my Atomic Mime card.

Atomic Mime, meet Cyber Clause.

Ho-ho-ho.

Ho-ho-ho.

Ho-ho.

What?!

Ho-ho-ho-ho.

[ cries out]

Quick--
to the Tomb of Dos.

Whoa!

TOMMY:
Dil!

I told you to move
your chocolate milk.

My card's all ruined now.

How could you play
a Two-Headed Eel card

against the Robotic
Sushi Chef?

You know it's only good
against edible cards.

Now, Lillian, don't get mad--
it's just a game.

Haven't you been
on the international
Web site?

You should be following Bjorn
from Reykjavick.

That guy can play.

See why I hate playing
tetherball with her?

Did you just say something?

Because her voice is still
ringing in my cranium.

Dil, slide over.

Let a pro show you
how it's done.

Want to get your nails done
after school?

French tip, pedicure,
get all bling-blinged out?

I'm up.

Did you ask Samantha?

Not yet-- hold on.

Hold on, another call.

What's up, Ange?

Want to get
your nails done
after school?

LIL:
You threw your Eternal Skeleton?

Where did you learn your basics?

Fire, Earth, Wind,
thenyour Immortals.

Uh-oh.

The Shark.

He's got
the most cards

this side
of high school.

They even say he's got
the Red-Mirrored Dragon.

What do you think,
Lillian?

I think he just
looked at me.

King me.

He thinks
he's so great.

Let's see him play a game
that takes real skill.

Hmm...

Oh, yeah.

Yes!

TOMMY:
Come on, Chuckie.

Let's play Yu-Gotta-Go.

No, thanks.

I refuse to be a victim
to this crass merchandising.

Last month it was
Laser Kong Cards,

next month,
something else.

And what are you left with?

A very expensive set
of bookmarks.

I won't play
either, Tommy,

but I really like
to watch.

GIRL:
...awesome card.

Wait till you see this new card
that I got.

It is so awesome.

BOY:
That one's great.

Spell card!

[ kids chatting excitedly]

Chuckie,
can you help me

stick pipe cleaners
into Albert's head?

Not right now.

Coming through.

Don't want to miss
too much

of the Satellite Channel.

Uh, Dad...

Yes, Chuckie.

TV ANNOUNCER:
Collect your own
Yu-Gotta-Go monsters

and let them go medieval
on your friends.

Be the first one on your block

to be the last one
on your block.

Yu-Gotta-Go cards.

Live monsters not included.

CHUCKIE:
Uh, Dad,

I know you just advanced me
my allowance

for the advance on my allowance
I took two weeks ago, but...

could I have $
for Yu-Gotta-Go cards, please?

Sorry, son.

You get your next allowance
in three weeks.

You can buy them then.

[ gasps]

There's precipitation
in Providence.

But I'm the only one in school
without them.

And you know why?

Because I'm fiscally
irresponsible?

Because you're
too smart to follow
the "in" crowd.

That's why it's time

you started down
your own path of glory

in the exciting
world of...

What? What?!

Stamp collecting.

[ sighs]

My dad started this for me
when I was your age.

Where else can you find famous
haircuts of the th century?

Well, not on
Yu-Gotta-Go cards.

Or, my personal favorite,

heroic doggies
of the Civil w*r.

[ unenthusiastically]:
Wow.

Here, son, remember:
enjoy them, but respect them.

They're a piece of history
that can't be replaced.

[ dejected]:
I'll be careful.

Thanks, Dad.

You forgot your album.

Right.

Listen to my words, Jonathan.

You tell that chain of stores,
if they don't meet my demands

they can say sayonara
to Yu-Gotta-Go cards

and sayonara to
their customers.

[ phone beeps]

And you!

[ gulps]

How could you run up
a cell phone bill
like this?

Now, I could give you
a long, drawn-out lecture,

but I have a zillion
phone calls to make.

You're not going
to ground me, are you?

In that amusement park
you call a bedroom?

Fat chance.

You, young lady, are going
to be responsible

for cleaning the house
for a whole week.

Now give me your phone.

My...

phone?

Oh, please!

Not the phone!

What if it's an emergency?

Like I'm late for class and
don't know what time it is!

Well, that's what
a watch is for.

A phone is for talking
and taking digital pictures.

It's about time

you learned a little
responsibility
around here.

Now go get
the pail, the mop
and the detergent.

Where are they?

I have no idea.

[ groans]

[ all chatting]

Please, goucho pants!

They are so más tarde.

Later.

You can't fool me.

I saw that.

I-I-I can explain.

See, my mom...

Don't bother.

I saw you on your phone.

You did?

I mean, you bet you did.

I text messaged you five times

and you didn't even
answer me once.

Just for that,
you're X'd from my text.

[ groans]

Hey, Finster.

[ mumbles]

Look at them
talking away

while I'm phoneless.

This is the worst day
of my life.

Not worse than mine.

Oh, yeah?

I don't have my cell phone

and had to get up a whole five
minutes early to make my bed!

Well, I am the only kid
without Yu-Gotta-Go cards.

You know, the company
my mom works for

distributes those cards.

We've got a whole closet
full of them at home.

Closet full?

Really?

Finster, this could be the start
of a beautiful friendship.

I'll... call... you... late.

I'm... breaking... up.

I am so talking
on my cell phone.

Fine!

Fine!
I'm on a land line.

Happy?

But I bet you can't do this.

There is something to be said
for the old school.

[ squeaks]

That'll do.

[ sighs with relief]

I'm not sure I can open these.

[ convulses]

Hey, I just made you clean
that carpet.

Sorry.

[ gasps]

You ready for this,
Chuckie?

You betcha, I'm pysched!

Out.

[ laughs]

[ cheers]

[ kids chatting]

Let's go get Zebra Smoothies
at the Java Lava.

Okay.

Who's next?

Finster?

What? Who? Me? Huh?

You see any other Finster here?

TOMMY:
Come on, Chuckie.

You can do this.

[ snickers]

I'll play my Poison Pink Puppy.

And I raise you
a Fanged Fire Master.

[ all gasp]

Play your
Reckless Wizard card.

Put it back.

Go with your
Electric Knight card.

[ gasps]

Hey.

What?

You won.
I did.

I won!

[ kids laughing and exclaiming]

Way to go, Chuckie.

Let's go.

Smoothies at the Java Lava
on me.

But I won!

After the game--
I promise.

Okay.

Who's up next?

KIMI:
Think he'll be okay?

You know how crazy
he gets about things.

Remember how obsessive
he was about clowns?

Chuckie?

Aw, he'll be all right.

[ Chuckie laughing maniacally]

I think.

[ Chuckie laughing
and babbling maniacally]

CHUCKIE:
"Tuesday, October .

"Tried stuffing bra--
too lopsided.

Went with midriff top instead."

ANGELICA:
Hey!

Don't you have any respect
for people's privacy?

Their dignity?

Here.

There's an oven
with your name on it

and an exploded enchilada
inside.

Here.

Another deck.

[ babbling]

[ kids exclaiming]

I see something
in your eyes, dude--

something I've never
seen there before.

I call it amplitude, my man.

No.

It's called eye crust.

Don't you wash your
face in the morning?

To those who are about to die,
we salute you.

Yu-Got.

You and your two friends
back so soon?

You're not Yu-Got.

My name's Chuckie and the only
two friends I brought

are Thunder and Lightning.

Eany, meany, miney...

Go!

[ g*nf*re]

You were holding
an Atomic Mime card?

Yep--
silent but deadly.

Bye-bye.

[ g*nf*re]

[ shrieks]

[ laughing]:
Yeah!

[ whooping]

[ everyone shouting
and cheering]

Chuckie, you are smoking
the competition.

I am hot, baby-- red-hot.

[ slurps then exhales]

But we should have been
gone three hours ago.

Stop now?

Quitting's for losers.

[ all gasp and whisper]

Uh-oh--
the Shark.

The Shark!

He doesn't even know I exist.

I've been hearing your name
on the street, Finster.

You're going down, old school.

You're in my house now, Edgar.

A flying rhino.

Iced...
by my tundra queen.

[ gasps]

[ gasps]

[ laughs]

[ all grumble and mutter]

You played your
flying rhino card?

Don't you read
the Yu-Gotta-Go newsletter?

It felt so great to be
as strong as... as Yu-Got.

I just got to get it back,
Tommy.

But you can't b*at the Shark.

He's got better cards than you.

He does now,
but I'll surprise him

with my Red-mirrored
Dragon card.

The Finstar will notbe denied.

The Finstar?

I'm trying out new nicknames.

But you don't have
the Red-mirrored Dragon.

Not yet, but I will.

Yep.

Metal Mouth will taste
victory again.

Uh... Metal Mouth?

Not a good one either?

How about the Crimson Destroyer?

Forget about
Yu-Gotta-Go, okay?

[ whistle tooting]

CHUCKIE:
Psst.

[ whispers]:
Angelica, psst.

Angelica!

Hey!

What's the big idea?

I need more cards, Angelica.

Why don't I start
on those rain gutters?

Finster, my mom was
so proud of the job I did,

I don't have to do it anymore.

I even got
my phone back.

[ bell rings,
coach blows whistle]

Get lost-- it's time
to get out of these
prison blues.

Fine-- I'll find another way
to get those cards.

It's like you can't live
without them.

I'd look at that if I were you.

No one's called me
in five minutes.

I'd better call someone

and see why
no one's called.

Great, no cards.

I got to do something.

Oh, think, Chuckie-- think.

[ yelps]

Whoa!

[ groans]

[ grunts]

[ Chuckie muttering,
metal clattering]

Chuckie?

[ Chuckie laughs maniacally,
glass breaks]

He was looking for change
to buy more cards.

Where is he now?

[ box crashes, Chuckie guffaws]

I'm worried
about him, Tommy.

Broken, broken,
broken.

What're you doing?

Looking for stuff to sell.

Tommy, think anybody'd buy
my old sneakers?

Do they still
smell like feet?

No, not really.

[ sniffs]

A little.

I really need
that Red-mirrored Dragon card.

My set of Happy Blocks.

That's myset of Happy Blocks.

It is?

You want to buy it back?

[ sighs]

Hey, come on,
all our friends
are at the mall.

The mall? Perfect.

Betty Katey's Collectibles has
a slew of Yu-Gotta-Go cards.

I don't like what
this game's done
to you, Chuckie.

It hasn't done anything...
except make my heart race

and give me goose bumps
all over my arms.

Aw, you don't
need those cards

to feel that way.

Why not work
on your stamp collection?

Dad said it was valuable.

It is?

No.

You can't sell
your stamp album.

Yeah, Dad will
go ballistic.

You know how veiny
his head gets.

I won't sell the whole thing.

I'll trade one stamp
for one deck of cards.

You'll be sorry.

Someday you'll look
in that mirror

and you won't like
what you see.

What else is new?

Oh, you're right.

I can't do it.

Yes!

CHUCKIE:
Bet I can.

Hey!
Hey!

Okay, we caught
a break.

Chuckie got sidetracked
trying on...

[ pop music playing,
Dil grunting]

Yu-Gotta-Go
sunglasses.

Whatever we do,
we can't let him near...

near Betty Katey's
All-Star Collectibles.

Dil!

And... split.

[ music stops, cloth rips]

Uh-oh...
my pants.

ANGELICA:
Sorry, but I just don't see
how this is myproblem.

But you started my brother
playing that game.

Hey, it's not my fault
he has no self-control.

Someone waved this shiny object
in front of his face

and he blindly followed.

Ow-- metallic pink.

That's a yes.

There he is.

Hey, Chuck, let's go
to the pet store

and watch the fighting fish.

No thanks.

Know what we haven't
done in a long time?

Go into a movie theater
and moo.

How about we go and swap heads
on the mannequins?

Sounds good,
but not today.

Hey-- you, me

at Astro-Zone
playing some
Terror Wheel.

I'll spot you
four points.

Okay, six.

I know what you guys are trying
to do and I appreciate it,

but I know what I am doing.

You guys wait here.

I'd better do
this alone.

CHUCKIE:
Got it, got it, got it.

No Red-mirrored Dragon.

Good, you tried,
let's go.

Another deck,
my good man.

Chuckie.

Last one, I swear.

One more.

The Red-mirrored Dragon's
got to be here.

It just hasto.

Chuckie... no!

[ blathering]

Here.

Please, please, please.

I'm sorry, Chuckie.

[ gasps]

There's still one pack left.

What are you
going to buy it with?

You sold your stamp.

[ Chuckie guffawing ]

Chuckie, you'll
get in trouble.

Hey, what cheapskate threw
a button in here?

That's it,
I'm going in.

... ... ...

Uh, a dollar, eight.

Remember
what I said

about looking
in the mirror

and not liking
what you see?

Well, look,
Chuckie.

What doyou see?

[ gasps]:
A silver dollar!

Look at me.

I'm stealing pennies
from a fountain.

How many children's wishes
have I destroyed?

I just wanted to feel
like a winner,

so that for once
I'd feel like somebody.

Tommy, I could have been
the Crimson Destroyer.

You aresomebody,
to us.

You're the best big brother.

We're here for you, Chuckie.

I'll treat you
to a Zebra Smoothie.

Out of the agua,dude.
Thanks, guys.

And thanks, Tommy.

You were right,
I dohave a problem.

A big problem.

I traded away Dad's
stamp collection.

He is going
to k*ll me.

Finster, you freak--
that money's for
seeing-eye dogs.

What are you
doing here?

Uh... I got thinking

about what it's like
to be hooked on something.

Chuckie and his cards,
me and my phone and...

hey, if we're not there for
each other for the bad times

then what kind
of friends
are we?

Don't worry--

I didn't tell
anyone

what was
in your diary.

Oh... well...

See you.

Yet.

Okay... what do
you want?

Chuckie sold all
his stamps for cards.

That store won't
give them back.

We'll see about that.

ANGELICA:
Jonathan, my mother is
CFO of the company

that distributes those cards

and she'll make your life
a living nightmare.

M-M-M-My name's Fred.

If you don't meet
my demands,

you can say sayonara
to Yu-Gotta-Go cards
and to your customers.

Do you really do
all that?

No...

but they don't
know that.

[ all laughing]

I don't know what to say,
you guys,

except I am off
Yu-Gotta-Go forever.

[ quavers]

Keep walking.

Just keep walking.

CHAS:
What are you doing there,
Chuckie?

Ah, just putting some
junk away-- forever.

I've been thinking, Dad.

Can we go
to the post office?

The new commemorative
stamps came out today.

Oh, Chuckie, I didn't think
you were interested.

Why, you betcha.

How about after
the post office,
we snag some ice cream?

And let's throw
fate to the wind:

vanilla
with sprinkles.

Dad, why are you smiling

like that guy
who talks to trees?

I know you had your
heart set on them,

so here:
your very own
Yu-Gotta-Go cards.

CHUCKIE [ laughing]:
The Red-mirrored Dragon.


CHAS:
Oh, there's precipitation
in Providence!
