I don't think I can make it.

A little bit more.

I'm dying. My arms are free.

Drop me anywhere, boys.

Hey, what is this?

She wouldn't stop complaining until we helped her move the stuff.

Who, that?

No, me.

A sofa?

Yeah, I know they're disgusting, but I do not sit on logs. Where did you get

The dump's not far from here. Far enough.

I know it's not traditional, but they're way more comfortable.

I hope you don't mind.

Why should I mind?

It's great.

So, who's up tonight?

Me. I got a good one.

Fine. I'll just pull up a rock.

Okay, listen up.

My story is about games.

Everybody loves games.

Especially when you win.

Losing's not so hot.

But it doesn't really matter. Because it's only a game.

And you can always play again.

Right?

Well, not always.

If you're going to play the game in my story, you better win.

Because if you lose, you may never play another game.

Ever. Again.

Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society.

I call this story.

Geez, no offense Lurch, but you're really creeping me out.

Queen of hearts.

Lucky lady in red.

Pick her up.

Simple as that.

Go for it, bud.

Sorry,

young bud.

How about double or nothing?

Or how about a trip to the guidance office?

What happened?

Not a slap on the wrist, no sweat.

He glommed my dick, though.

Geek. I told you you were going to get busted, but you never listen to me.

You're an old lady, and if I listened to you, I'd never do anything fine.

I'm not an old lady.

Oh, yeah? You're a granny.

No, I'm not.

Okay, when was the last time you took a chance on anything?

I mean, put it out there and thought you might lose, but at the last second

sucked it up and kicked butt?

Granny. I'm just cautious.

pretty cool why did he let you hang out with him what's that supposed to mean

sodas are on me young buds hey you want to play alex why so i can lose gee

thanks but no alex doesn't like games he doesn't take chances he's what you'd

call a wimp hey nobody asked you tell you what al i'll make you a bet you

lose i'll bet you anything that this place is gonna

close at seven o 'clock

Come on. Give me a break.

Come on, Alex. Look at the sign.

Last chance.

Fine.

No way you could have lost.

Can't take a chance even when you know you're going to win, can you, Alex?

We've got to go home.

Game over.

are a wise young man never let anyone pressure you into a game you don't feel

comfortable playing it takes a certain type to be a gamesman one who revels in

the excitement of competition thrives on the test of skill under pressure and

thrills to the fact that if they don't perform they may lose it

all someone like you

You never lose, do you?

Haven't yet.

Who are you?

I'm Mr. Click.

Perhaps you'd like a more worthy opponent, like myself.

Oh, man, you got it. I'll take you on any of these games. He owns the place.

These are his games.

He'll kill you.

He's an old guy. I'll kick his... Um, well, I'll do really well. And if you

triumph, I'll allow you free run of my emporium for a year.

Oh, man, sweet.

What if he loses?

Then I take your thumbprint.

My thumbprint?

A small risk, no?

Especially for someone as confident as you.

Look, Tate, I mean, you know you can beat him, right?

So then you don't have to prove anything.

Look, yeah, yeah, I can play for you anytime.

Let's go.

Perhaps another time.

Clembo.

Finish loading that truck.

Now.

Do not challenge me.

Then prepare a new display.

I believe we'll soon be receiving another guest.

Hey, hey, guess what? Three movie fetches. What do you want to see?

Can't, man. I'm going to click. Again?

Why?

He challenged me, bud, and I backed down.

Like you. Listen, Tate, there's something seriously wrong with this guy,

He wants your thumbprint.

What's that about?

Don't know. I'm going to find out.

Come on, man. Don't go.

Alex, when somebody challenges me, I got to take them on.

It's just the way I am.

I'm not a granny like you.

Feeling more confident today?

Hey, I got all the confidence I need to beat you, old bud.

Name your game.

Splendid.

My game... is zombie dive.

This is my office.

It's more like a fun house.

Hey, where are the goofy mirrors?

My heart, you're the clever one.

So, uh, where's the zombie game?

You'll notice that one side on each shows a red skull.

You roll the dice three times. If a skull appears even once, you lose.

If not, you win.

That's total luck.

Indeed. Forget it. I thought we were going to play a real game.

But we are.

The game is to see if you have the nerve to play.

Or if you're a coward.

Like your friend.

You're Arnold, bud.

And your emporium's going to be mine for a year.

Or your thumbprint will be mine forever.

Two down, one more, and this place is mine, bud.

This is a stupid game.

Nevertheless, the wager is a wager, and it's time for you to settle.

Uh, what's in there?

You'll find a pedestal upon which you'll press your thumb.

That was lame. I want you on a real game.

Goodbye.

Bud.

Who's supposed to tell me what to do?

Hey,

Frankenstein, whatever.

That's where I put my thumbprint.

Really, I get some sun, you know.

All right, done. I'm out of here.

Yo, Wood, what's the deal?

The deal is you're going on a little trip.

You see, I have buyers from all over the world who are willing to pay a handsome

price for such unique...

It's not here.

And it's closed.

Six o 'clock, remember?

Your clique is such a weirdo.

I just hope Tate isn't... Would you stop that?

Maybe they're in the back.

Go look.

No, I can't go back there.

Such a weenie.

I'll go.

No.

Stay.

Stay. What am I, a dog?

Yes. Yes, you're a dog.

Now don't move.

Tate?

Mr. Click?

Mr. Click?

Tate?

They were all so confident.

So sure they could beat the odds. What did you do to him? I won his thumbprint.

And when you take someone's thumbprint, you own them.

I had a fortune selling our little friends as... What's the best way to put

Pets! Get back to work!

Go!

He's strong as an ox, though not nearly as intelligent.

He'll soon be joining my little menagerie.

Running out on your friend?

You really are a coward, aren't you?

What's going to happen to him?

I have a buyer in Australia.

Tate should like it down there.

If he survives the journey.

Not all of them do.

Let him go! But he lost the wager.

It was all very fair.

However, there is a way you could save him.

If you're willing to take a chance.

Three rolls.

If you win, I give your friend back.

If you lose, your thumbprint will be mine.

I don't know.

I don't gamble.

Then maybe it's time you started, if you cared about your friend.

Wait.

If this is fair, you roll.

Don't you trust me?

No.

Same rules, except...

No skulls, you win.

Skull show, I win.

I accept.

This is exciting, no?

Just throw them.

No, no, come on.

Please, I've never gambled before in my life. And you rolled again. Goodbye.

Wait, wait, wait, double or nothing.

You want me to roll again?

No.

I want to try a different game.

Well, you have nothing more to wager.

Yes, I do.

If I win, Tate and I go free.

And if you lose?

If I lose, you can have my little brother.

I don't believe I understand.

You see, I'm not very good at games, but there's one thing that I'm pretty good

at.

I say I can drink these two mugs of soda before you drink that one small glass.

Cool. You're nuts.

All I want is a head start.

You can't pick up your glass until I finish one mug and put it back down

There must be a trick. You'll move my glass.

Oh, no, see, I can't touch your glass, and you can't touch either of my mugs.

Why'd you bet him?

Uh, don't ask.

I'll take your wager, but only if you make it three mugs.

What? No way. Three mug. Take it or leave it.

Then you've got to raise the stakes.

How so?

Well, if I win, we go free.

But then I get your thumbprint.

Agreed. All right.

I get a head start, right? Agreed. And no touching each other's glasses.

Agreed.

You'll have to drink the others a bit faster than that.

Ready?

If you are.

touches glass those are the rule he's gonna finish before you that's not fair

you said i can't oh it's fair all right you agreed

you're done pal excellent i won't allow this you're winning under false

pretenses you're you're i'll tell you what he is he's the winner and you lose

how do you escape thanks al i guess you're not such a granny after all oh

i'm a granny

A really smart granny.

I refuse to accept it.

She's not getting away that easy.

Bring the truck around. We're getting out.

Out.

Did you hear me, Lama?

Where's Mr. Click?

Game's over.

No one ever played another game in Click's Emporium again.

Any game.

That was amazing.

Great story.

And I like this furniture.

A lot.

The queen likes it a little too much.

Mom. Oh, I've got to go to bed.
