Uncle Grandpa: Day 14  
Lost in the jungle.

The prized MacGuffin I'm after
is barely in reach.

This journey will be tougher
than I expected.

I still can't make out the
markings on this ancient map.

I will not panic.

Day 15   Starting to panic.

Day 16   Time is running out.

The situation
is not looking good.

Day 21   I feel as though
I've lost my mind.

Day 24   I'm going bananas!

Day 30   I still can't
make out the map!

It's totally incomprehensible!

I'll never find
the MacGuffin!

[ Inhaling sharply ]

Ugh.

Here, let me help you with that,
Uncle Grandpa.

Oh. Thanks.

That's Virginia,
my enthusiastic co pilot.

I'm teaching her
everything I know.

I went over our plans
to acquire the MacGuffin

in extreme detail.

[ Sighs ]
If I had a nickel

for every time
you said that word.

What is a MacGuffin,
anyway?

Well, it's a...

Uh...

A "MacGuffin"
is a plot device

in the form
of a desired object

that the main character
pursues,

often with little or no
narrative explanation!

Yeah!

What he said.

Okay,
but what specifically

is the MacGuffin
we're after right now?

No time to explain.

Why the heck not?

[ Roaring ]

That's why!

[ Roaring ]

[ Both whimpering ]

[ Roaring continues ]

'Kay, got it.

What are you doing?

That giant realistic tiger's
gonna eat us alive!

No, actually,
she was just telling us

to keep right
at the fork coming up.

Thanks, girl!

[ Turn signal clicking ]

[ Roars ]

Our river journey continued.

[ Grunting ]
The overgrown jungle
consumed us.

[ Shing! ]

Day 35   Crocodiles.

[ Roaring, snapping ]

Virginia was petrified,

but I knew
how to take care of 'em.

[ Pleasant music plays ]

More tea, anyone?

Thanks for entertaining us,
Uncle Grandpa.

Hey, anytime, guys.
[ Mugs clink ]

No crocodile can resist
a fancy tea party.

After that, we continued
to float along the banks.

[ Clanking ]

Day 39.

[ Shouting in native language ]

[ Both gasp ]

They punched a few holes
in our boat...

[ g*nsh*t ]

... but they calmed down

once their idol
appeared in the sky.

Shama lama lama, dudes.

Together: Hoo hah!

After that, it was nothing but
smooth sailing.

[ Crashing ]

[ Screams ]

We carefully docked our boat
at the shore,

and entered the temple where
we would find the MacGuffin.

This is the place.

Uh, are you sure?

Let me double check.

Hey, lazy bones,
we're seeking a MacGuffin.

Then you came
to the right place, chief.

It's all the way in the back,
chum!

Thanks.

[ Bones clack ]

♪♪

All right,
you hang here for a minute.

I'm gonna
check things out.

Hmm.

These petroglyphs
can mean only one thing.

This place is packed
with booby traps,

so we got to be super careful
where we step in here.

[ Clank! ]

[ Clanging ]

I wonder what all these holes
on the ground are for.

I'm guessing spider holes.

Uncle Grandpa!
Behind you!

[ Clang! ]

Yeah.
Definitely spider holes.

Anyway,
nothing to worry about.

Oh, no!

This is horrible!

My shoelace is untied!

What am I gonna do?

Don't panic!
I'll be right there!

[ Clank! ]

[ Grinding ]

[ Whoosh! ]

Don't worry!
I got this!

[ Whoosh! Smack! ]

Ugh!

[ Shing! ]
Ouch!

Unnnnh.

Who is...there was a...

Dang it, Uncle Grandpa.

I can't tie your shoe
if you don't stand still.

[ Gibbering ]

There was a...

Oof!

[ Warbling ]

[ Smack! ]
Oof!

[ Thump! ]

[ Crash! ]
Ooh!

[ Muffled ]
Geez Louise.

[ Sighs ]

Your shoe's tied now,
Uncle Grandpa.

Thanks.

Our journey continued
through the temple.

It was an endless sea
of twists and turns.

Together, we conquered
the most difficult of mazes.

Phew!

Let's save the rest of these
for later.

The MacGuffin awaits.

Onward!

[ Grunts ]

Right this way.

[ Clank! ]

[ Smack! ]
Ugh!

[ Bell dings ]

Let's go this way,
instead.

We kept moving...
[ Heart beating ]

...deeper and deeper
into the heart of the temple.

It was hard not to accidentally
set off a hidden booby trap.

I wonder what happens
when you pull this lever.

I guess
we'll never know.

[ Smack! ]

[ Arrows whooshing ]

Uncle Grandpa,
what did you just do?

Oh, nothing.

[ Rumbling ]
Well, better keep moving.

Aah!

[ Both screaming ]

[ Panting ]

[ Rocks crashing ]

[ Both screaming ]

[ Both panting ]

That was a close one.

Now all's we got to do
is cross that bridge,

and the MacGuffin is ours.

I can't wait to find out
what the MacGuffin actually is.

Trust me,
it'll be totally worth the wait.

The anticipation
is k*lling me!

Yeah, hey,
before we get the MacGuffin,

I'm gonna go get one of those
giant gum ba*ls over there.

Wait. What?

Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
Oh, boy!

Flippin' frog legs.

You want me to get you one?

Uncle Grandpa!
Nooo!

[ Grunts ]

Ooh,
I hope I get a yellow one.

Uncle Grandpa,
it's a trap!

You sure
you don't want one?

[ Jangle! ]

Ahh!

Aah! Uncle Grandpa!
[ Zip! ]

Come on!
Ya ah!

What gives, Virginia?
I was gonna eat that.

Sorry, but we got to get
across that bridge.

[ Creaking ]

[ Both scream ]

So, I guess this is it.

I'm never gonna find out

what the MacGuffin
in this story is!

It's all over.

No. We didn't come
all this way

just to fall to our death on
those jagged rocks down there.

We came to get the MacGuffin,
and we're gonna get it!

Oh, and I'm still gonna eat
this giant gum ball, too.

Ahh...

[ Chomp! ]

Num num num num.
[ Chewing ]

[ Whistle! ]

Aah!

[ Screech! ]


Eeh!

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Air hissing ]

[ Slurping ]

[ Pop! ]

Uncle Grandpa,
You saved us.

[ Speaking muffledly ]

[ Smack! ]

[ Creak! ]

[ Snap! ]

[ Mystical music playing ]

This is it, Virginia.

We had arrived
at the inner sanctum.

It was the culmination of
our long, grueling expedition.

Finally, the MacGuffin
was in our sight.

[ Vocalizing, twinkling ]
It's beautiful.

But if we were to capture
this elusive prize,

we would need to perform
one final feat  

a feat of skill...

[ Sweat trickling ]

... a feat of precision.

I had to get this just right.

[ Rattles ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Coins clinking ]

[ Plink! ]

I'll have one MacGuffin,
please.

One MacGuffin,
coming right up.

[ Paper rustles ]

All right!

[ Chomp! ]
[ Chewing loudly ]

Do you mean to tell me

that the MacGuffin
we risked our lives for

was just
a breakfast sandwich?

Yep. A sausage egg and cheese
MacGuffin.

Want a bite?

You do realize
we could have

easily gotten one of those
back home?

Yeah, but that wouldn't make
for a very exciting story,

now, would it?

[ Chomp! ]
Num num num num...

How're you doing,
Pizza Steve?

A okay!

[ Mellow music playing ]
Man: And now, "Movie Time
With Uncle Grandpa."

[ Projector whirring ]
Gloria, there's something
I've been meaning to tell you.

I   I love you.

I love you too, Jimmie.

[ Slurping ]

[ Projector stops ]

That was a scene
from "Kisser's Alley,"

the classic film
we'll be reviewing tonight.

Hi. I'm Uncle Grandpa.

And I'm Uncle Grandpa.

So, what did you think,
Uncle Grandpa?

Well,
I wasn't sure at first.

I ordered a large popcorn
at the concession stand,

but then I dropped it,
so I had to go get another one.

They let me put on
as much butter as I wanted,

and they even gave me an
extra box to put more corn in,

which was fantastic.

Right from the start,

I knew that
this movie outing

was going to be
one to remember.

Yeah. This is
one of those experiences

that I live for
as a movie goer.

For only a quarter more,

I was able to get
an extra large jumbo drink,

which was everything
I could ask for.

It's definitely something

I can see myself enjoying
again and again, thanks to

[Snaps fingers]
their free refill policy.

But that's not to say
this movie was perfect

all the way through.

Halfway in, some young teen's
cellphone kept beeping.

It made the plot
impossible to follow.

Yeah. That really took me
out of the story.

Luckily, however, the young teen
quickly silenced his phone

[Snaps fingers]
and apologized.

From that point on,
I was back into the action

and had
the greatest time ever.

I'd have to agree with you,
Uncle Grandpa.

It was a wild ride,

and I definitely
had a good time.

I give it 6 pinkies way up.
[ Ding! ]

Good drinks, great corn,
and considerate teens  


Uncle Grandpa,
it's been a pleasure.

[ Squeaking ]
Thanks for joining us.

See you next time on
"Movie Time With Uncle Grandpa."
