Fanon:Big Nate the Movie/Transcript

[The Warner Bros and Warner Animation Group logo plays the new fanfare. Then, after the Paramount logo, it transitions to a Big Nate styled Paramount logo, which turns into a panel of a comic strip in a comic book. The comic book gets out of the screen and transitions to a city with a sign that says “Welcome to Rackleff” which then zooms into Nate’s house.]

Nate: [narrating] Hi, my name is Nate Wright. You probably know me in the popular comic strip on newspapers, my comic books, or the novels. Anyway, let’s go.

Francis: Ready for the finals?

Nate: Oh my god! I forgot about the finals! I need to study quick!

Teddy: Relax, it’s next week.

Nate: Oh, thank god. (thinking) Maybe I should go to Peter’s house, although he is a 1st grader, he is very smart. *walks to Peter’s home*

Peter: Hold it Nate, shtop! Why are you running into my backyard?

Nate: I wanna study for the social studies finals.

Peter: Okay then. Lemme jusht grab theshe…

A FEW HOURS LATER…

Peter: Okay, let’sh go. 1776.

Nate: Declaration of Independence.

Nate: Gettysburg address.

Peter: 1914.

Nate: Start of World War I.

Peter: I don’t remember who you even are anymore!

Nate: So I can just go out?

Peter: Yes!

Nate: Alright. [thinking] Lemme just go to the nearest deli to get Cheez Doodles and a Mountain Dew.

[Nate gets home]

Martin: Nate! What were you doing out so long?

Nate: I studied with Peter.

Martin: And why do you have Cheez Doodles and Mountain Dew?

Nate: I picked it up before going back home.

Martin: Hmm… I should call Peter’s mother. *calling Peter’s mom* Hello, this is Nate’s dad. I’m asking, did Nate and Peter study? They did? Nate knows a lot about history? *starts getting happy* I’ll have to call you back. *hangs up* Nate, you may finish those Cheez Doodles and Mountain Dew, I’m ordering pizza! You actually studied in a while!

Nate: Wow. *starts eating and drinking the Cheez Doodles and Mountain Dew*

[The next scene is in school]

Francis: We’re gonna be free after this final!

Nate: Oh yes, we will. Like that time in 1776 when Thomas Jefferson and a bunch of others wrote the Declaration of Independence and made America free and independent.

Teddy: What the hell? It’s like Nate’s… smart.

Unidentified smart but mean person: Oh, yeah. It’s like Nate’s now smart “ooh! He is smart!” WELL THEN I’M SMART! I AM NOT GONNA OVERTOOK BY A TRASH BAGGY, CHEEZ DOODLE STAINED, SON OF A B-

* school bell rings*

[The scene cuts to Nate and Gina]

Nate: What did you get, brainiac?

Gina: A 98. I don’t think anyone got higher than that.

Nate: Oh, really? Look at this.

Gina: *suprised* A 100? H-HOW? WHAT? WHY?

Nate: I studied more than you did.

[Nate, Francis, and Teddy run out of the school]

[A montage of them doing things to do in the summer (e.g. golfing and going to the beach) is shown while a song made up by them called “Summer” plays over the background.]

Nate: Well, this marks our last day of summer.

Teddy: We already did everything.

Francis: Yeah, we went to the beach, did golfing, joined the “hunky and sexy boys club”.

Nate: How did we even get accepted into that club?

Teddy: I-I-I don’t know.

Nate: [looks at Mount Nicnack] But there’s only one thing that we didn’t do

Teddy and Francis: What?

Nate: We’re going on an adventure!

Francis: Really? REALLY? With you guys? We will just stop after 20 minutes.

Nate: It’s close to Jefferson-

Francis: Never mind. I’m in.

Teddy: I'm in too.

[The scene cuts to them walking to Mount Nicnack]

[Silence during walking]

Everyone: *looks at the mountain*

Francis: Yeah, this is gonna take a long time.

[The song made up by them “Climbing Up Mount Nicnack” plays]

Nate: [singing] We’re climbing up Mount Nicnack, Mount Nicnack, Mount Nicnack. For the start of an adventure. [not singing] C’mon guys, sing!

Teddy and Francis: Fine.

Everyone: We’re climbing up Mount Nicnack, Mount Nicnack, Mount Nicnack. For the start of an adventure.

[1 hour later...]

Everyone: [singing while gasping] We're climbing up... Mount Nicknack... Mount Nicknack... Mount Nicknack...

Francis: Guys,... maybe we could stop with that singing... and rest?

Teddy: Yeah. I'm super tired.

Nate: Sure. Let's sit down.

[Guys chill out near the path. Suddenly, Nate sees a space in the rock face]

Nate: Guys, look! This might be a cave!

Teddy: Nate, we're tired! We still have to rest!

Francis: Yeah, we can go, when we'll be ready.

Nate: Okay, fine.

[Then, Artur shows up as large as life]

Artur: Hallo guys!

Nate, Francis and Teddy: ARTUR?!

Francis: What are you doing here?! We thought you're going on vacation back to Belarus!

Artur: I know, I know. But three days ago, we come back. I am back from the top of the mountain and I go home.

Teddy: Oh, okay, see ya soon!

[Artur walks away.]

Nate: Dang it! Artur already got on the top of Mountain Nicknack, before we got here!

Francis: So what, Nate? We still can go there!

Nate: I know, but it's not the same! Although, there's one thing Artur hasn't seen before... [looks at the hole in the rock face]

Francis: Nate, are you serious?! We might get lost! [a drawn version of them getting lost shows up] We might be attacked by bats! [a drawn version of them being attacked by bats shows up] We might fall off the edge! [a drawn version of them falling off the edge shows up]

[Back to the mountain.]

Teddy: Chill, Francis! [Looks for something in his backpack] I've got torches, one for each! We can also leave everywhere those sticks we've picked up yet, so we can't get lost!

Francis: Alright fine, we can go!

Nate: I see… something at the end of the cave.

Francis: Let’s walk to it.

[walks slowly]

Nate: What is that thing-

Bat: *hisses*

Everyone: GAH!

Bat: Oh, ho ho, man! *takes off bat costume* You guys are really gullible!

Nate: Good god. You scared us!

Adam: I know! My name’s Adam.

Nate: Nate. So, how did you get here?

[While Adam is talking, his flashback is stop-motion animated.]

Adam: 4 years ago in 2017, my mom planned a trip to Mount Nicnack. Unfortunately, when she didn’t realize it, our house was getting sold.

7 year old Adam: But, mommy! I was telling you all day it was getting sold? Now what do we do?

Adam’s mom: I think I have an idea.

Adam: So we built a shed.

7 year old Adam: Wow, mom! You do great building!

Adam’s mom: And you protect people from disrupting our land!

Adam: And for 4 years straight, I was the guard of Mount Nicnack.

Nate: That’s cool but, how’d you do the clay figures-

Adam: It’s a flashback.
