[CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY TURNER ENTERTAINMENT GROUP]
>> WELL, I-- >> BET YOU'RE WONDERING HOW MINE
WAS.
ME AND MY AMAZING IMAGINARY FRIEND BLAKE SUPERIOR WENT TO
THE ARCADE.
IT WAS, LIKE, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND TIME TO PLAY, BECAUSE AS
USUAL, EVERYBODY KEPT INTERRUPTING US TO SAY HOW BLAKE
WAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE IMAGINARY FRIEND THEY'D
EVER SEEN.
BUT BECAUSE BLAKE SUPERIOR IS AWESOME AND HE'S GOT THIS
INTENSE FOCUS AND HE'S, LIKE, THE BEST VIDEO GAME PLAYER
THERE'S EVER BEEN, HE STILL MANAGED TO GET THE HIGH SCORE ON
TURBO MOTO RACER 3.
AND THE HEAD OF THE REAL WORLD PROFESSIONAL TURBO MOTO RACING
CIRCUIT HAPPENED TO SEE THE WHOLE THING AND INVITED
BLAKE SUPERIOR TO RACE IN THE PRO TURBO MOTO
RACING CHAMPIONSHIP...
WHERE BLAKE SUPERIOR DROVE 500 LAPS, ALL WHILE FILING FATHER'S
TAXES AND ASSISTING FIREFIGHTERS IN A DARING RESCUE MISSION.
EVERYBODY SAID IT WAS THE MOST ASTOUNDING THING THEY'D EVER
SEEN BLAKE SUPERIOR DO.
AND THEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES CALLED TO THANK
HIM AND TELL HIM HOW HE'S THE GREATEST IMAGINARY FRIEND WHO
EVER LIVED.
AND IF THE PRESIDENT SAYS IT, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.
>> [SIGHS] >> BLAKE SUPERIOR IS THE BEST
IMAGINARY FRIEND EVER!
>> YEAH.
WE GOT IT.
>> AND SOON, I'LL HAVE A TROPHY TO PROVE IT--
AFTER BLAKE SUPERIOR WINS THE UPCOMING COUNTRY IMAGINARY
FRIEND TALENT SHOW PAGEANT.
NO ONE STANDS A CHANCE AGAINST HIS GREATNESS--
NOT YOUR IMAGINARY FRIEND, NOT YOUR IMAGINARY FRIEND,
AND CERTAINLY NOT YOUR IMAGINARY FRIEND.
>> [ROARS] HELLO, RICHIE!
READY FOR AN AFTERNOON FILLED WITH UNPARALLELED FUN,
ADVENTURE, AND PRIVILEGE?!
[LAUGHING] >> UGH!
RICHIE WILDEBRAT.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT KID?
HE THINKS HIS IMAGINARY FRIEND IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN OURS.
>> HE IS KIND OF COOL.
>> WHAT?!
AREN'T YOU SICK OF HEARING "BLAKE SUPERIOR, BLAH, BLAH,
BLAH!
DID YOU KNOW HE'S BEING KNIGHTED?
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
HE CURED THE COMMON COLD!" >> NOT REALLY.
>> WELL, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE.
IF RICHIE AND BLAKE SUPERIOR WIN THAT IMAGINARY FRIEND PAGEANT,
WE'LL NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT.
SOMEONE'S GOTTA TAKE THOSE TWO DOWN.
LUCKILY, I KNOW THE PERFECT GUY FOR THE JOB.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WON'T DO IT?!
>> I TOLD YOU.
I'M JUST NOT INTO THE WHOLE PAGEANT SCENE.
>> BUT YOU SUBSCRIBED TO "PAGEANT SCENE MAGAZINE."
>> FOR THE FREE PERFUME SAMPLES.
>> THIS IS CRAZY!
PAGEANTS ARE ALL ABOUT SHOWING OFF AND BEING THE CENTER
OF ATTENTION!
IT'S TOTALLY YOUR THING!
>> WELL, YOU'D THINK SO, BUT...
NO.
>> BUT RICHIE WILDEBRAT CAN'T WIN!
HE'S OBNOXIOUS AND MEAN.
I'M BEGGING YOU.
>> WELCOME, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO THE ANNUAL COUNTY
IMAGINARY FRIEND TALENT SHOW PAGEANT--SPONSORED, ONCE AGAIN,

THAT WAS JUST A FLUKE.
I'LL BE FINE.

>> LOOK, JUST THIS ONCE.

WHEN DO I EVER ASK YOU FOR ANYTHING?
>> NOW.
YOU'RE ASKING ME FOR ANYTHING NOW.

>> THEN HELP ME.
>> BUT...
I'VE GOT LOTS OF...
IMPORTANT THINGS...
I NEED TO DO.
LIKE...
UH...
AND...
>> OH!
I'M SORRY!
YOU'RE RIGHT.
CLEARLY THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HELPING YOUR BEST FRIEND!
>> IT'S NOT LIKE I WANT TO DO THIS.
BUT THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH AT STAKE FOR ME NOT TO, ALL RIGHT?
OK, LISTEN...
AS MUCH AS I'D LIKE TO NOT HELP YOU, I JUST CAN'T COME UP WITH A
GOOD ENOUGH EXCUSE.

WHY, OF COURSE.
HERE YOU GO.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

TO DO.
>> GET RID OF MY HIC--HIC--COUGHS?!
ARE YOU NUTS!
LISTEN, MAC, I WANT TO CREAM THOSE SNOBS JUST AS MUCH AS YOU,
BUT LOSING MY BABIES IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.
>> BUT, BLOO-- >> AAH--HIC!
>> LOOK, I LOVE YOUR HICCOUGHS AS MUCH AS YOU.
OK, MAYBE NOT AS MUCH AS YOU...
OR AT ALL, ACTUALLY.
BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO IF WE'RE GONNA WIN THIS PAGEANT.
PERSONALITY, POISE, SWIMSUIT, TALENT.
AND THE HICCOUGHS, WELL...
THEY'RE DISTRACTING.
>> PL--HIC--EASE!
I CAN BEAT THAT SPOILED ROTTEN EXCUSE FOR A FRIEND WITH ONE
HAND--HIC--BEHIND MY BACK.
AND I CAN SURELY BEAT HIM WITH THE HIC--HIC--COUGHS.
>> LISTEN CAREFULLY: AS MUCH AS I HATE TO ADMIT IT,
BLAKE IS NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT-- >> HIC.

HE'S GOOD.
REALLY GOOD.
TO BEAT HIM, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE AWESOMER--
THE MOST AWESOME YOU'VE EVER BEEN.
>> OH.
THAT'S PRETTY--HIC--AWESOME.
>> SO, YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION.
EITHER WE LOSE TO RICHIE AND BLAKE SUPERIOR...

[LAUGHING] >> OH, LIKE IT MATTERS ANYWAY.
WE'RE GONNA GET CREAMED.
>> "PAGEANT SCENE MAGAZINE" SAYS YOUR GREATEST WEAKNESS CAN BE
YOUR GREATEST STRENGTH--HIC.
NOT THAT THAT'S HELPFUL BECAUSE HICCOUGHS AREN'T REALLY A
WEAK--HIC--NESS.
THEY'RE TOTALLY A STREN--HIC--GTH.
[SNIFFS] >> WE'LL BARELY MAKE IT THROUGH
POISE AND PERSONALITY-- >> HIC.

>> HIC.
HIC.

>> DON'T WOR--HIC--RY.
WE'RE SHOO--HIC--INS.
RICHIE AND BLAKE--HIC--SUPERIOR DON'T HAVE A CHANCE.
FOR THERE IS NO FORCE KNOWN TO MANKIND IN THIS OR ANY PARALLEL
UNIVERSE THAT CAN BEAT THE UNPARALLELED POWER AND MIGHT OF
MY INDESTRUCTIBLE HICCOUGHS!
MY INDESTRUCTIBLE HICCOUGHS.
