Let's see what we got.

[ Whispering ] "We're pleased to inform you that the Borneo..."

[ Squeaking ]

Billy! Get out of here! Go.

[ Sighs ]

Looks like I'm gonna be leaving you for a few months.

Don't worry. I'll find someone to look after you.

Someone who knows how to have fun

and take really good care of you.

I love you, too.

Go play, sweetie.

[ Squeaking ]

[ People cheering ]

[ Music heard faintly on headphones ]

-[ Knocking ] -MAN: Hey, Katie?

Yeah, Dad?

Hey, Cindy and Diane wanna know if you're going to open gym today.

Nah, I don't really feel like it.

No? Honey, maybe a workout would do you good.

Tryouts are coming up soon, so...

Not today, Dad. Okay?

Okay. All right, honey.

Clear the mat, insects.

We're here to work out.

Not right now. We're working out.

It's not for you to decide.

I'm the team captain, so what I say goes.

Not anymore. The season's over.

Next season's tryouts are in two weeks...

and I, as the best gymnast, will be team captain again.

So if you know what's best for you, you will do as I say.

Katie will beat you.

The alien speaks. Sorry to inform you, E.T...

but here on Earth, you can't win if you don't show up.

Go back to the mothership or something.

We're busy.

There she is.

Alicia ran us off the mat today.

She's pure evil.

KATIE: Why did you let her?

CINDY: She thinks she's still captain.

But the season's over.

That's what I said.

She acts like she's still captain.

Tryouts are in two weeks and, unless you compete...

she will be captain again.

And no one wants to get on her bad side.

Sorry. I just don't feel like trying out this year.

But you have to try out. We need you.

Look, I understand you not trying out last year

with your mother ill and all.

But you need gymnastics. It's a part of you.

I've been going to gymnastics.

Not like you used to. You were always practicing.

Sorry. It's just not that important anymore.

If Alicia's captain, I'll quit the team.

We need you.

Come on, Cindy. Let's go.

I need you.

Hey, honey. You got a minute?

Uh... yeah.

Sit down.

You can't keep putting your friends off like that, sweetie.

Dad, can you please just spare the lecture?

I just think you could use a little friend time. That's all.

-Okay, I get your point. -Do you?

-Do I what? -Do you get my point?

-Do you get my point? -Yeah.

-Do you? -Yeah, I get your point.

I just want you to have fun, honey.

I just want the happy Katie back, that's all.

Yeah, well, there's not a lot to be happy about.

Of course, there's plenty to be happy about.

Like what?

Your friends, gymnastics. You love gymnastics.

Your mother loved to watch you compete.

Yeah, well, that's not gonna happen.

I know it was difficult to lose your mother.

God knows it was very difficult for me as well.

But life doesn't stop.

Your mother wouldn't want it to stop.

And, honey, you have so much of it ahead of you.

Dad, I'm okay.

Are you?

Yeah. I'm okay.

Okay.

-I just want the smile back. That's it. -Okay.

Okay, get outta here.

Okay.

-I love you, honey. -I love you, too.

Oh, look, there goes the loser.

Too bad she's not competing at tryouts.

I was looking forward to beating her.

Again. That was good.

Hey, watch it.

KATIE: It's no big deal.

-He's such a show off. -I hope he breaks his neck.

So are you going to the dance?

[ School bell rings ]

Come on, class is gonna start.

So, Katie, you never answered my question.

Are you going to the dance?

I don't really feel like it.

Katie, you don't feel like doing anything since...

I have a lot on my mind. Okay?

We know. It's just, the dance is gonna be awesome.

There's gonna be a lot of cute guys there.

You guys talking about me again?

-Hi, Tommy. -Hi, Diane, Cindy.

How's it going, Katie?

She's doing great. We're going to the end of the year dance.

Are you?

That's actually why I came over, to find out if you're going.

Of course.

Well, Katie, are you?

Not really. @'

Oh, that's too bad. I was hoping that you would dance with me.

What about Alicia?

What about her?

You know, you and her are a thing.

Nah, we're just friends.

You can ask me to dance.

I hope you change your mind and go.

I'll think about it.

That's a start.

-Bye, Tommy. -See you at the dance.

What is wrong with you?

The cutest boy in school asked you to dance with him

and you blow him off?

Now you have to go.

Why? Because of Tommy?

BOTH: Um, yeah.

He's just a friend.

I would give up my cell phone for a year

for a chance to dance with him.

-A year? -Okay, a month.

I just don't feel like dancing. With anybody.

MALE VOICE: Remember to turn in your textbooks

and clear out your lockers by Wednesday.

And be sure to pick up your yearbook in the auditorium.

Also, as a small little reminder that I hope you got your tickets...

for the end of the year school dance tomorrow night.

Okay, everyone, settle down.

Oh, I should have brought you to class a long time ago.

Everyone, this is Gibby.

Can anyone tell me who my friend is?

An ape.

Not exactly. Chimpanzees are apes.

It's a monkey.

Yes, but do you what kind of monkey?

Ooh, one that swings on trees.

And eats bananas.

Gibby is a Tufted Capuchin monkey.

That's correct, Tommy.

She's a mammal from the Sapajus Apella species.

They come from South America, and they're omnivores.

Meaning?

-Katie? -They eat plants and animals?

That's correct.

-Is she dangerous? -Not really.

I rescued her about five years ago, and she's used to people.

But as you can see, they still have their animal instincts.

That's why you should never tease an animal.

Ms. Martin, I would never tease an animal.

Now, you might be wondering why I brought her in.

Well, I just received a grant to go to Borneo for the summer...

and study the orangutans.

So now I'm gonna need somebody

to watch her over the summer.

Not so fast. If you wanna take care of her...

you're gonna need to write an essay

about how to take care of Gibby.

I want you to include everything you know about Capuchins

and their needs.

And most importantly, a parent's gonna have to sign off on it.

-And essays are due tomorrow. -[ Students groan ]

I know, but I just found out, and it's almost the end of school.

[ Students cheer ]

All right. Now to today's lesson.

Can you believe that Ms. Martin brought a live monkey in to class?

Gibby is so cute.

I really wanna take care of her.

Did you see that it, like, wears diapers? OMG.

And the "G" means "gross."

Gross? You must be talking about your family again.

-Score one. -To zero.

You can forget about it. I write the best essays.

That's English. This is science class.

Whatever, I'm still going to win.

Why does everything have to be a competition with you?

Because I'm a winner. It's more fun than being a loser.

What's her issue? We used to be friends.

She's just a spoiled brat.

Doesn't matter. I know what I have to do.

-Tryout for the team? -Go to the dance?

Research Capuchins so I can show Ms. Martin...

that I know how to take care of Gibby.

-Bye. -Okay.

-What's up? -Hey.

I was wondering if you changed your mind about the dance.

I haven't really thought about it.

Why not? Everyone will be there. It'll be a lot of fun.

Hello? I have to write my essay for Gibby.

Oh, you're trying to watch Gibby?

Not just trying. I'm going to watch her.

That would be cool.

But a lot of other kids wanna watch her, too.

That's why I have to focus on my essay...

instead of talking about some dance.

-Not that one. -I needed that book.

I have something better.

-Like what? -Just come here.

What is it?

Only the best reference book on Capuchins in the world.

I thought it was checked out.

I grabbed it at lunch so I could save it for you.

I knew everyone would want it.

I read it last year when I really wanted a monkey.

-You wanted a monkey? -Yeah.

But my mom wouldn't let me have pets. Not even a...

Dog?

I was gonna say goldfish. But you get the idea.

If you know so much about Capuchins...

I am sure Ms. Martin will select you to watch Gibby.

Oh, I'm not entering. On account of...

You can't have pets.

So I thought that if I helped you with your essay...

you would let me help you take care of Gibby.

Thanks, Tommy. Of course you can help. I'll owe you big time.

You can start by dancing with me at the dance.

Oh, yeah, the dance.

You said you owed me.

Only if the book helps.

It will. Now, stop flirting with me and get back to work.

Focus, Katie.

Okay, supper's almost ready.

Let's get silverware and napkins on the counter.

Just a moment, Dad.

I hope you're ready for my world famous spaghetti.

-Mm-hmm. -Are you ready?

Mm-hmm.

Hey. What are you doing?

-An essay. -An essay, okay.

Care to share with your dad what that essay's about?

Gibby.

Gibby, oh, of course.

I have no idea what a Gibby is. What's a Gibby?

Gibby is Ms. Martin's Capuchin monkey.

-A monkey? -She's really cute and a lot of fun.

Ms. Martin brought her in to class today.

To the school? I bet that was exciting. Right?

Dad. Can I ask you a question?

-I don't know. Can you? -Dad.

-May I? -Yes, you may.

Thank you for the correction. Fire away. What is it?

Okay, Ms. Martin's gonna study orangutans

in Borneo this summer...

and she needs someone to watch after Gibby.

Do you think I could watch her?

A monkey all summer long? Around the house?

Yeah, she's really cool and only nine pounds. It would be fun.

I understand that, honey, but now's not a good time.

I've got a very important pitch

for one of my most important clients coming up.

I just don't think we can swing it. I'm sorry.

Dad, please.

I don't think you understand how important this pitch is.

But, more importantly...

I don't think now is the best time for you to take on an extra burden

that's just gonna keep you locked inside the house, honey.

And the you that your mom and I knew was a bubbly...

outgoing girl with all kinds of friends.

I just think she left with your mom.

You're right. A part of me did die when Mom died.

And you said that time would heal me, but it hasn't.

I know. I know, I know. I know.

But your mother's inside both of us.

Each and every day. You know that, right?

What am I supposed to do?

Just your best.

That's what your mother would want. Just your best.

But...

your mother would want the best

from the Katie that she remembers.

That's what your mother would want.

-I'll tell you what. -Tell me what.

If you let me watch Gibby...

I promise I'll go to gymnastics more

and hang out with my friends more.

-Really? -Really.

-Really? -Really.

Really, really?

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

If it's that important to you,

then, I imagine I can endure a monkey for a...

-...couple months. -I can watch her? Oh, my gosh!

Dad, I love you!

I love you, too, honey.

Whoa, whoa, before you go anywhere,

where is this monkey gonna stay?

During the day, she'll stay with me in the house,

and at night, in the shed.

The monkey is in the house? Is the monkey potty trained?

Not to worry, she wears diapers.

I hope I don't regret this. I really do.

You won't. I'll take really good care of her.

Okay. But this is you. Remember, we have a deal.

Okay, I promise. It'll teach me responsibility.

[ Sighs ] I can't believe I'm doing it. Okay...

Supper's ready. Silverware, napkins on the counter now.

-Got it. -Let's do this.

-And, hey... -Yeah?

when can I read your essay?

As soon as I'm done with it.

Let's finish it. I wanna read this.

Okay.

MALE VOICE Congratulations to the baseball team

for another great season.

As a reminder, end of the year school dance for underclassmen

is tonight.

Pretty good. I mean, it's three pages, so...

Here you go, Ms. Martin. I worked really hard on it.

I'm sure you did, Alicia. Thank you.

And here's my essay, Ms. Martin.

Another? Thank you.

For those of you who wrote essays,

you don't have to turn them in this second.

Just put 'em in the basket by the end of class.

Just look at them.

Yeah, what does he see in her?

There won't be anything to see once I get done with her.

Let's get some punch.

But you don't like punch.

-That was fun. -Totally.

Yeah, that was great.

Yeah, I didn't know you could dance like that.

Thank you.

Well, I better get back to my friends now.

Yeah.

-So spill, K. -What's to spill?

You and Tommy, together?

We were just dancing.

He blew off Alicia for you.

We're just friends. He's helping me with Gibby.

-I think it's more than that. -He likes you.

It's nothing. We're old friends.

I saw you dancing with Tommy.

So? He asked me.

He was only being nice. He took pity on you.

Tommy likes Katie, so get used to it.

Well, I guess there isn't any more to say then, is there?

-Oops. -You did that on purpose!

It was her fault. She got in my way.

You know it wasn't an accident.

Yeah? What are you gonna do about it?

This isn't the time or the place.

How about tryouts?

-You know I'm not entering. -How convenient.

-I can't stand her. -Me neither.

Someone needs to teach her a lesson.

Well, I think I'm done for the night. My dress is ruined.

-Sorry. -Bye. See you tomorrow.

Hey, Katie, know any good dry cleaners?

Ouch.

Alicia, you wanna go to the mall later?

Uh, yeah.

-Hey. -Hey, what's the rush?

-Today's the day. -Yeah, last day of school.

I am so excited for summer!

Today's the day Ms. Martin decides

who gets to take care of Gibby.

That's all you talk about. That stupid monkey.

She's not stupid. They use them to help disabled people.

Whatever.

[ School bell rings ]

MALE VOICE Early dismissal is at 11:00 am, so see you in August.

Good morning, class. I guess you all know what today is.

♪ School's out for summer

[ Students cheer ]

It's when you pick me to take care of Gibby.

Oh, not so fast, Alicia. You wrote a very good essay.

But it's not just about the essays.

It's about who I feel is gonna take best care of Gibby.

So I've selected five finalists

who I think are qualified to take care of her.

From those five finalists, Gibby will decide

who she'll stay with this summer.

After all, she should have some say. Right?

So, when I call your name, I want you to come up here...

and sit on one of the stools at the front of the class.

Alicia.

Jake.

Sid.

And Sarah.

Ms. Martin?

Hold on, Eve.

You only called four names.

Oh, sorry about that. You're right, I did.

Let's see, the final candidate is Katie.

Come up and take a stool.

Everyone else, stay in your seats.

-Hey, play hard to get. -Okay.

This isn't necessary, Ms. Martin.

Gibby is going to choose me.

Oh, perhaps.

But we'll let her decide who'll take care of her this summer.

How will we know who she selects?

She's going to go to the person

that she feels most comfortable with.

Gibby, I'll take good care of you. Come on.

[ Overlapping chatter ]

Gibby, come here. No, I'll take good care of you, come on now.

Come on! No, come on. No!

Come here, Gibby. Come to me, Gibby. Come on.

Come on. You're so close, come here.

Please. Come on.

Oh, yeah. Come on, Gibby.

Gibby, I love you, I love you. Come here.

You can do it. You can do it. Come on. You're almost there.

Go, go, go. No, no, no. I'll take good care of you.

Come on, come on. There we go, good.

Okay, there we go, go. No, no, stop playing games with me.

Come on, now.

Come on, come on, Gibby, come on.

I have all the Nutella in the world, Gibby. Come on. Come on, Gibby.

Come on, Gibby. Come on, come on. Come to Jake.

Come on. Yeah, there we go. Come on.

Please come to me. I'll take good care of you.

Well, it looks like Gibby's gonna be staying with Katie this summer.

Ms. Martin, there must a mistake.

Oh, there's no mistake, Alicia.

Now, everybody, take your seats. Go on.

Go on. Gibby will be staying with Katie this summer.

Thank you, Ms. Martin.

I'll arrange with your dad to come over tomorrow and go over her care.

I had a feeling she'd choose you.

Okay, I gotta get ready.

Oh, wait, wait, wait! Wait, no, no, class isn't over.

Oh. I'm sorry.

It's okay. Take your seat.

[ School bell rings ]

I can't believe that I get to watch Gibby.

Yeah, it's so cool.

Congratulations, you get to take care of a smelly monkey.

-Ha ha. -I'm just glad that you beat Alicia.

I really don't understand why you wanna watch Gibby.

It's like watching her own family.

-Ooh, burn. -You want some ice for that?

You're just jealous that you lost.

It's no big deal. It's just a monkey.

The real competition is this weekend for team captain.

Too bad you won't be competing.

I'll be busy watching Gibby.

No excuses. I would have beaten you for team captain, anyway.

The best always win.

Her existence gives me a headache.

I wish you were competing against her.

She doesn't deserve to be team captain.

Got to go. Lots to do for Gibby. See you.

Later.

Knock, knock. Aww, thought you might need some help.

That actually would be great.

I have no idea whether I'm doing this right.

Well, you actually have some really good stuff over there.

But you might want to get rid of all the nails, the gasoline...

definitely the saws, and, oh, the hammers...

and, oh, the paint is fairly toxic.

It looks like I owe you again.

Yeah, I kind of like you owing me.

Come on, Ms. Martin will be here at 2:00, so...

-Let's get started. -All right.

I'm glad that's over.

Yeah, me, too.

Thanks for your help.

So...

why exactly are you helping me?

For a couple of reasons.

Such as?

For one, I get to help you take care of a real Capuchin monkey.

And two?

Later. It's time to pay off your debts.

What do you mean?

How about a burger and a shake?

Sounds good. Gibby'll be here in about an hour.

All right, let's go.

Okay. So where're you taking me?

That dress was adorable.

-I know. It would look great on me. -I know. It's crazy.

Isn't that Katie?

Yeah, with Tommy.

Tommy is sure spending a lot of time with her.

She's pathetic if she thinks Tommy actually likes her.

After you beat her at the competition,

Tommy won't be interested in her.

This calls for more extreme measures.

Hello.

Hey.

Hi. Are you ready for Gibby?

-More than ready. -Awesome.

Look who it is.

-Hi. -You must be Ms. Martin.

We haven't been formally introduced, but my name is Frank.

-I am Katie's father. -Oh!

It's nice to officially meet you in person, as well.

Very nice to meet you and you, too, Gibby. Very nice to meet you.

-And please call me Jennifer. -I certainly will.

I didn't know you would be here.

Oh, I promised Katie to help her watch Gibby.

Oh, cool. I'm sure she'll appreciate the help.

Thank you for letting for letting Katie watch Gibby while I'm gone.

I assure you this is gonna be a mutually beneficial relationship.

She is over the moon excited with this opportunity.

-Dad! -What? You...

Here, let me put her on your shoulder.

Let you take her now.

There you go. Basically treat her like a small child.

You know, change her diaper when it's messy...

and stick to the food items that I've listed out.

I will, I promise.

And most of all, she loves companionship...

so please try to spend as much time with her as you can.

I'll be with her all summer.

That's perfect. Thank you. I know you'll do a great job.

-I'll make sure she will, Ms. Martin. -Well, thank you.

Can somebody show me where she's gonna be sleeping?

They have spent the entire morning

cleaning out a spot in the shed...

so I assure you, Gibby will have first-class accommodations.

That's great. Well, I've got her tree in the car.

You wanna give me a hand?

-Of course. -Well, you guys get acquainted.

Will do.

Come on.

She's so cute.

Yeah, they each have their own personalities.

What'd she do that for?

-I think she's playing tag. -Tag?

You're it.

-What should I do? -Tag her back.

You're it.

Hey. What are you doing here?

I'm just helping Katie with Gibby.

Hey, guys, check this out. Gibby, come here.

Go tag them!

A monkey can't play tag.

Oh, no, she didn't.

She's just playing around.

Hey, girls. What are you guys up to?

Hi, Mr. Thompson. We're on our way to gymnastics.

We were wondering if Katie wanted to join us.

I can't. I have to watch Gibby.

You can go. Take Gibby with you.

I don't think Ms. Martin would approve.

What if something happened to her?

She did say to include her in your life like she's part of the family.

-I'm just saying. -Come on.

I'll go with you and watch her while you do your gymnastics.

I think it's a good idea that Tommy comes with us.

Remember our deal.

Okay, okay. Let me get ready.

I hope they don't throw us out because of Gibby.

I'll be right here while you guys work out.

Okay.

Just forget about it. Too little, too late.

Why must you be so m... mean?

-Why must you be so... you? -We're just here to work out.

You'll probably make the team, but you won't win captain.

Don't worry. I'm not even entering.

Like I said, we're just here to work out.

Good, 'cause tryouts are next week, and I will win captain.

Just like last year.

Whoa.

-Hello. -Hey.

That's a talented little monkey you have there.

Thank you.

So you entering tryouts?

I'm not ready.

Come on, you're a natural.

If you're half as good as your monkey, you could win captain.

-Think about it. -Okay.

Come here, come on.

I'm glad you came with us, K.

Yeah. Thanks for coming with us, guys.

Well, I'm glad you talked me into it. It felt good.

-See ya. -Later.

See you around.

Well, thanks for keeping your promise.

Oh, I haven't kept it yet. You still gotta make it through the summer.

Just the same, thanks for helping me.

Yeah, no problem. I'll swing by tomorrow.

Well, not too early, I usually sleep in during the summer.

Yeah, Gibby'll probably be up with the sun.

I didn't think about that.

That's all right. That's why I'm here.

-Okay. See you tomorrow. -I'll see ya.

Mmm, good. Supper's ready.

-Hey, Dad. -Yeah?

There's something that I wanted to tell you.

Well, as long as it's not

that you wanna watch an elephant next summer...

I think I'll be able to process it.

Come on.

I'm thinking about entering the gymnastics tryouts

this Sunday.

I think you'll do very well, honey. I'm proud of you.

Yeah, I've kept in shape, and Gibby motivates me

to get back in the swing of things.

I think that will be great for you, honey. I really do.

Now, are you ready for my world famous pizza?

Your world famous pizza?

Okay, maybe it's not my world famous pizza,

but it's world famous pizza.

And how about you? Are you hungry?

Here we go.

Wow.

What?

I've never seen you take more than two seconds

to devour an entire pizza.

Now you're looking after something else, or someone...

else, before you. It's impressive.

Are you saying I'm growing up?

I guess so. I guess I am.

Wow, look at you.

You make it look easy. Come on.

I guess I just need to relax and have fun like you.

Oh, night.

I hope you like it here.

Okay. Good night.

Good morning, Gibby.

Are you ready for summer?

I guess we'll find out if you are a great chef or not.

There we go.

-[ Buzzer rings ] -Oh, oven's ready.

You ready to bake Dad's cake?

Oh, come on, it'll be a piece of cake.

Get it? Like a piece of cake.

-[ Cell phone rings ] -Oh!

Hey.

Yeah, I can totally get it. Hang on one second.

Okay. Don't touch anything, okay? Be a good girl.

No, not you. I was talking to Gibby. But yeah...

[ Sighs ]

[ Screeching ]

Katie!

Katie!

Could you come down here, please?

Gibby! What did you do?

Dad, I'm so sorry.

This was supposed to be a surprise.

I'm surprised. I'm surprised by all of this.

Could you clean this up? Now?

I guess we'll start with you.

Come here.

Come on.

Well, there we go. All clean.

Come on.

Stand up.

There we go.

Honey, you wanna tell me why the kitchen's not clean?

Well, I had to give Gibby a bath.

I understand. We start filming tomorrow, so I can't do it myself.

I'd appreciate a little help.

Okay, well, don't worry. I'll clean it up right now.

-Thank you. -Yes, sir.

Huh.

Already finished.

We really dodged one.

How's it going?

Now you show up?

Did I miss something?

Only the mess Gibby made.

-Monkeys do get playful. -Yeah.

You never did tell me the second reason that you're helping me.

I thought it was pretty obvious.

What was obvious?

You know.

I thought you liked Alicia. After all, she's every boy's dream.

Well, you're not so bad-looking yourself.

So, you only like me for my looks?

More than that. You're not fake like Alicia...

and you have a kind heart.

Hey. Tommy.

Hello, Mr. Thompson. How are you?

I'm good, good, good, a little busy.

But I'm just taking a break from work for some lunch in...

my nice clean kitchen.

Thank you very much. You wanna join us?

Dad!

You made a promise to be more social.

I appreciate it, but why don't we do it inside?

I'm making sandwiches, world famous sandwiches.

You're gonna love 'em.

Inside.

World famous?

In his own mind.

Hey, honey, sandwiches are almost ready,

so plates and napkins, please.

-Sure thing. -And... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

No hungry monkeys in the kitchen until it's time to eat, please.

Thank you very much. Appreciate it.

Turkey and wheat, that okay?

Yeah, works for me. Looking forward to that world famous.

How's it going, living here with Katie?

-Milk? -Sure.

I was talking to my dad yesterday and...

I want to enter tryouts this Sunday.

Oh, that's awesome. You need me to watch Gibby?

-Would you? -Yeah, no problem.

I especially want to beat Alicia.

Okay, honey, let's remember:

competition is not just about winning.

It's also about doing your best. Okay?

Yeah, I know, Dad.

But no one wants Alicia as captain.

So what time do you need me?

Well, the competition starts at 11:00...

and I wanna get there an hour early, so?

Then, I'll see you at 9:30.

Okay.

So I couldn't watch him?

-Her. -Her, excuse me.

Pardon me, Gibby. Didn't mean to offend.

I'm so happy that you're here.

Even if it is just for the summer.

Gibby, do you ever wonder why things happen?

Or do they just happen?

I wonder my life would be like if my mom hadn't died.

Did you know your mother?

You probably haven't seen her since you were very young.

It's terrible, you know.

You lost your mother, too.

But I never see you sad.

I wanna be more like you.

I love you.

-I brought you a jacket. -Thank you.

It's kind of chilly out here, huh?

Yeah.

How are you two doing?

Good. Just trying to figure out

why things happen the way they do.

Well, if you figure it out, let me know, will you?

You'll be the first.

And happy birthday. And sorry about your birthday cake.

Please. There'll be plenty of opportunities...

for you to make me a birthday cake.

And I will hold you to each and every one of them.

You two are really good together, you know it?

-So I got a question for you. -Yeah?

Would you two be interested in helping me out...

with a new commercial I'm working on?

I don't know. You'll have to ask her. Come here.

Okay.

Miss Gibby, would you be interested in...

being the star of my new commercial? Yeah?

Is that a maybe or...?

I believe that is a yes.

Gibby, I'm very flattered. I'm very flattered...

and I really look forward to working with you.

KATIE: Oh, I should get ready for the sleep over.

[ Dad laughs ]

-So, K, spill. -Spill what?

Spill the beans, like what's going on between you and Tommy.

Are you guys like a thing?

No, he's just helping me with Gibby.

Ooh, good idea. Damsel in distress.

Ha ha. It's not like that at all.

So there's nothing going on between you two?

Of course not. We're just friends.

Too bad, he's hot.

Diane, can't you see that she's not interested?

Maybe not, but he's still gorgeous.

Good job, Gibby. But I don't want nail polish.

So what's it like living with a monkey? Is she a lot of work?

Not really. She keeps me company,

and she does a lot of funny things.

-Like what? -Yeah, show us something.

Well, what do you wanna see?

I don't know, you're the expert.

Have her do a flip.

Oh, please. That's easy.

Gibby, do a flip.

[ Girls laugh ]

Okay, watch this one.

Gibby, statue.

You ready?

Pow!

Okay, Gibby, go to the dresser. Go on.

Okay, you two lie down.

Yeah, I'll pass.

Come on, it'll be fun.

Okay, I'm in.

Okay.

Okay. Superman!

High five.

Now, that was sweet.

Do it again.

High five. No? Okay.

Okay, where are the girls?

What about you? Are you up for some pancakes?

[ Chuckling ] Okay.

Banana pancakes it is.

Perfect timing. Breakfast is ready.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Sorry, we don't have time for breakfast.

I just made my world famous pancakes.

Okay, well, not today, they're too heavy.

Gotta put something in your belly--

It's our last practice before tryouts.

Right, so after practice. Right now, we gotta go.

-Thanks anyway, Mr. Thompson. -Yeah, thanks.

Yes. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you forgetting something here?

Oh, yeah. Tommy just texted me, he'll be here in a couple minutes.

That okay?

Yes, it's okay.

Okay. See ya.

Oh, please don't forget. We film this afternoon, okay?

-Okay. -I love you, honey.

I love you, too.

So now you get a hug and I don't? What's that about?

I used to get all the hugs.

I used to get every single hug till you showed up.

Hurts my feelings.

Great job.

-I like that. -Thank you.

-Let me help you. -Thank you.

You're looking good out there today. I think you're ready.

-Thank you. It felt good. -Well, I'm glad you're trying out.

We really could have used you last season.

Yeah, well, it's good to be back.

All right, well, see you at tryouts.

Uh, yeah.

Hey, Tommy.

Hey, you ready to go?

Gibby, come here.

Hey, I was gonna walk you home.

Okay, well, I don't need your help. No, thanks.

Hey, you're not mad about Alicia kissing me, right? It was nothing.

Well, it looked like something to me. Okay?

[ Screams ]

Why did Tommy kiss Alicia?

Well, if he wants her, he can have her.

Who needs a boyfriend when I have you?

DAD: Katie, hurry and get ready. We have to leave.

Yeah, just a minute, Dad.

First, I'll introduce you to people in wardrobe.

Her name is Mary. I've known her for years.

She knows all about you. Seen your gymnastics photos--

Frank?

-Yes? -How does the kitchen look?

Do you like either of these for Gibby?

The kitchen looks wonderful and I've already preapproved the hats.

Having said that,

Vanessa's probably going to hate everything, so...

Frank.

How am I suppose to direct an ape?

I've directed many Neanderthals before, but never an ape.

She's a monkey.

Oh.

So you're our little star.

Really?

Really. Honey, why don't you go with Mary?

She'll get you to the wardrobe.

Yeah. Okay, Dad.

Gibby is a natural. You're gonna love her. Trust me.

Do something.

Why?

Why?

Here you go, Mr. Thompson. All ready.

Thank you.

Are you ready?

You know, we haven't exactly rehearsed this.

It's okay. Just let Gibby be herself. It'll be fine.

You better not monkey this up

or you'll never work in this town again.

Or I may never work in this town again.

Put the little ape on the stool.

-Okay. -Go.

Positions, please.

All right, let's get ready to shoot this hot mess.

It's gonna be fine.

WOMAN: All right. All right. Yeah, all right, okay.

I'm gonna need your attention over here.

Over here. Right toward me. There we go now.

All right, now let's get-- and action.

All right, little ape, stir.

Very good, little ape.

Stir, stir.

Keep stirring.

Keep stirring. One more second.

Stir, little ape. One more and cut.

All right, all right. So we'll put a caption over her.

"So easy, any ape can do it." Got it?

End of commercial. Good night. It's been a pleasure.

It's been a pleasure.

She's a monkey.

My car better be ready.

I can't thank you both enough for today, honey.

I'm very happy with how that turned out.

Gibby makes everything better.

I'm gonna go put her to bed, and then I'm gonna go to bed, too.

Okay?

-Say good night before you do. -Okay.

Yeah, come on.

It's time to go to bed, okay?

Come on.

You know, I really wanna win tomorrow.

And not just to beat Alicia.

You inspire me to do my best.

Good night.

Hey. See you in the morning, okay?

Good night.

Hey, honey.

What was that for?

That's for letting me take care of Gibby.

I'm not doing anything. You're doing all the work.

Just the same...

I know I haven't been the best daughter since Mom died.

Honey, I know it hasn't been easy for you.

I know it.

-I miss her every day. -Oh, honey.

I miss her, too, baby.

Every single day I miss her.

You okay?

You know, one thing that Gibby taught me...

is that life is for living, and not to waste it.

I promise I'll do my best to make you proud of me.

I just wish Mom could be there.

Honey, I'm already proud.

Your mother is, too.

I know that.

And we'll both be there at the game with you.

You have my word.

Which reminds me.

Your mother was saving this for your birthday.

But my birthday isn't for another month.

Oh, I think we both need a little Mom right now.

What is it?

It's something special she wanted you to have.

Open it.

It's beautiful.

It's also a locket.

What's the key to?

Your mother always said it was a key to happiness and...

I think I believe her.

I'll keep it with me forever.

-I love you, honey. -I love you, too.

Now get outta here. You gotta get some sleep.

You got a big day tomorrow.

Okay. Good night, Dad.

I just don't understand why

we had to wake up early for the competition.

I wanted to sleep in.

Wait, this is Katie's house.

Alicia, what are we doing here?

I want to make sure I win.

Katie isn't gonna beat you.

I don't just want to beat her. I want to crush her.

Just wait here.

Don't you think she's getting carried away?

Why is she sneaking into Katie's house?

Well, probably to tell her good luck.

Probably not.

Nyah.

Stupid monkey.

So how's your dismount coming?

Pretty good.

Well, except for the landing part.

-Where were you? -Yeah, what were you doing?

Just taking care of some monkey business.

Fun.

Wait, what?

It's 9:30 already?

So the day is finally here.

I'm really looking forward to seeing her compete again. I am.

Dad! Why didn't you wake me up?

-You said 9:30. -I said I have to leave by 9:30.

What are you doing here?

I promised to watch Gibby during the competition.

I told you I don't need your help.

Okay.

Gibby?

Gibby?

Where are you?

Katie, what you saw yesterday was all Alicia.

Not now. I can't even find Gibby.

How'd that window get open?

Oh, no.

-Gibby? -She's probably nearby.

I promised Ms. Martin that I'd take good care of her.

Don't worry. We'll find her.

[ Man grunts ]

-Gibby! -There's no sign of her.

But where could she have gone?

She might be in like a tree or something.

Well, I gotta go tell my dad.

-Hey, Dad. -Hmm?

Did you leave the shed window open?

-No, of course not. Why? -Gibby's gone.

She probably didn't go far.

We just don't know what direction she went.

Okay, call Cindy and Diane on the phone right now.

Go upstairs and change out of those clothes.

Help me in the garage to make sure you didn't miss anything.

Meet us out back.

-Cindy. I need your help. -Yeah? Is something wrong?

[ Dog barks ]

Hey, did you find her?

No, I can't find her.

Well, where'd she go?

I don't know.

Hey, guys.

What do you need us to do?

Tommy and I will go down the street that way.

Can you go that way?

Yes. We'll let you know if we see her.

Okay, perfect.

-Hey, any luck finding Gibby? -No, we haven't found her yet.

Can you stay here at the house and call us if you find her, okay?

-Yeah, sure, honey. -Okay. Thank you.

Hey!

Hey. Billy, you still have a camera on your helicopter?

Yeah, see for yourself.

Can you do me a huge favor? Can you fly over Sycamore?

Gibby's missing. We're just trying to spot her.

-Sure thing, Mr. Thompson. -Appreciate it.

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Groans ]

[ Doorbell rings ]

What the heck's goin' on?

What?!

Hey!

[ Gasps ]

[ Gibby screeches ]

[ Screams ]

Scram!

What's wrong?

There is an ape in the window!

Well, he was right there!

An ape, huh? Like a chimp?

Well, he was huge.

You're hallucinating again.

I am not making this up!

Why do you always think I'm making things up? I am not crazy!

It's almost out of range.

Okay, just one.

If you could make a left on Euclid, that'd be great.

Stop right, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Can you back up a little bit to the right?

Freeze right there.

Okay.

That's her.

-Thank you, buddy. -You're welcome.

Hey, excuse me. Have you seen a monkey around here?

No, but there's a rat back there.

Yeah, Dad?

Okay, I'm on it.

-Did they find her? -Yeah, come on.

[ Screams ]

She's gotta be close.

You like that?

Look, Momma, a gorilla.

There aren't any gorillas around here.

Yes, there is. Right there.

Gorilla! Gorilla!

That has to be her.

Stop! She won't hurt anyone!

-No! -Gibby, are you okay?

Oh, Gibby, please be okay.

[ Sniffling ] Gibby.

Dear God...

Please don't let Gibby die.

Please don't take her from me...

not again.

It's my fault, not hers. Please.

Gibby.

Gibby.

[ Gibby chirps ]

She's a cute little monkey.

She's a wild animal. Don't get too close.

I'm very sorry, Ms. Miller, but you didn't have to do that.

She wouldn't have hurt anyone.

Why don't you just take that thing and get outta here?

Come on. Let's go.

And if I see that gorilla again, I will call animal control.

That was close.

All right, we need to hurry so you don't miss your competition.

It's too late.

You're not a quitter. We can make it.

Okay. Come on, Gibby.

Hey, what happened?

I'll explain later. Please just take her.

I have to go get changed.

We're running late. I'll grab the car, and I'll meet you around front.

Call Cindy, tell her that we found Gibby,

and we'll meet her at the competition.

Sure, but I don't have her number.

Okay, here.

Is this my picture from the burger joint?

[ Laughs nervously ]

Come on, the competition's almost started.

Okay, here, take this.

Why don't you hop out here? I'll meet you inside.

-Okay, thanks, Dad. -Yep.

Okay, you're checked in.

Hi, I'm Katie Thompson. I'm checking in.

A bit late. Your competition's already started.

You've got 15 minutes until you're on.

They shouldn't be allowed to bring that monkey in here.

Please, sir. She's my inspiration.

Well, we allow dogs, so why not? The ape can stay.

Really? How can you let a monkey in here?

Well, they let you in here, didn't they?

MAN 1: Our next competitor, Alicia Ramsey!

MAN 2: Aren't you up next?

You made it just in time.

I'm so sorry I made you guys late.

Don't sweat it. I did just fine.

A 9.2, my best ever!

Congratulations.

You better get ready. You don't have much time to warm up.

[ Audience shouting ]

Well, Gibby and I better go find a good place to sit down.

Okay. Wait. Hey, Tommy.

I'm sorry about the way I acted.

I just wanted to say thank you for all your help.

You're most welcome.

I know, right?

Alicia Ramsey takes the lead with a 9.6.

9.6. Looks like it's over.

It's not over until I say it's over.

Hi, excuse me.

Did she make it in time?

Yeah, she's up next.

-I hope she had time to warm up. -Yeah.

Next up is Katie Thompson.

[ Audience cheers ]

Okay, Katie, so just like you've done a thousand times before.

-Okay? -Okay, I'm just nervous.

I haven't competed in a while.

Think of your monkey. Okay? Be your monkey.

Okay.

Okay? Now, give me five. Okay, go get 'em.

[ Audience cheers ]

This is for you, Mom.

Thatta girl, honey!

[ Gasps ]

What are you doing here?

-And what are you doing in there? -[ Groans ]

What just happened?

Gibby stopped Alicia from disrupting your routine.

I've got it all right here.

Well, thank you, Gibby.

-Good job. -That was great.

Oh, thanks. It felt really good.

[ Continues groaning ]

-I saw what you did, Alicia. -Me?

I was pushed in the pit by that monkey.

After you tried to disrupt Katie's routine.

Consider yourself off the team.

But, Coach, it was that monkey.

-Way to stick it. -Thank you.

It looks like you might be our new team captain.

Ladies. So I kicked Alicia off the team for unsportsmanlike behavior.

But she's really good, and we need her.

I know. Well, you're the new captain, so you decide.

And the winners in the 13- to 15-year-old girls bracket.

In third place, Cindy Kingsley.

Congratulations.

Second place, Alicia Ramsey.

Congratulations.

And our champion and new captain...

Katie Thompson!

Congratulations.

[ Audience cheers ]

-I'm so proud of you. -Thank you.

-Hey. Thank you. -Hey.

-Congratulations, honey. -Thanks.

Can you hold her for a second?

Hey. I heard what Coach did.

That should make you happy.

Actually, it doesn't. The team needs you.

Well, it'll have to get by without me.

As team captain, Coach said that it was my decision...

and I want you on the team.

Really?

Really.

Thank you. I didn't know what I was going to tell my mom.

Here, come on. Let's go.

I can't believe Gibby did that.

I know. I owe it all to her.

I owe it all to Gibby for giving me my daughter back.

And I thank her for giving me my old friend back.

Why don't you guys wait here? I'll go grab the car.

So I'm just a friend?

More than a friend.
