YOU WON HOW MANY SNELFUS?

600!

ISN'T THAT RIGHT PROFESSOR STUMBLESNORE?

600 IT IS, SPOTTER, NOT A SNELFU MORE!

AND EVERY ONE GOES TO THE FILM YOU'VE BEEN CHOSEN TO MAKE: "WELCOME TO FROGSNORTS".

MATT: YOU GET TO MAKE A MOVIE?

WOW!

HOW COOL IS THAT?!

STUMBLESNORE: SHE HAS FOUR DAYS!

COME FRIDAY, HER FILM MUST BE READY TO SHOW TO THE INCOMING CLASS.

IT'S A BIG HONOR, SPOTTER, DON'T SPEND THE MONEY RECKLESSLY!

DIGIT: SHEESH, FOUR DAYS!

CAN YOU DO IT?

YES, BUT I NEED HELP.

I'LL BE TOO BUSY ACTING IN THE FILM.

SO I NEED A DIRECTOR.

JACKIE: I'LL DIRECT!

MATT: LET ME!

INEZ: I'LL DO IT UM...MATHEW!

YOU BE THE DIRECTOR!

COOL!

ACTION!

I KNEW SHE'D PICK MATT!

SHARI: INEZ, JACKIE... YOU BE THE WRITERS.

(EXCITED GASP) OKAY.

BUT WHAT'LL I WEAR TO THE GOLDEN GLOB AWARDS?

LET'S WRITE THE FILM FIRST, OKAY?

AND DIGIT, YOU RUN THE CAMERA.

ME?

SURE!

WHEN DO WE START?

LISTEN TO DODIE!

THIS IS DAY ONE.

FIRST DAY OF SHOOTING HAS BEGUN!

MATT: READY TO ROLL, DIDGE?

DIGIT: ROLLING!

MATT: AND...ACTION!

WELCOME TO FROGSNORTS, SCHOOL OF MAGIC.

THINGS ARE REALLY POPPING!

YOU'LL SOON LEARN THAT COMING HERE WILL TURN YOUR WORLD UPSIDE DOWN!

MATT (THRU BULLHORN): AND...CUT!

OKAY, EVERYBODY...

LUNCH!

INEZ: OKAY, MATTHEW... WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE LINES WE WROTE ABOUT MATH AND SCIENCE?

TOO MANY WORDS, NEZZIE.

FILM IS VISUAL.

I NEEDED TO LIVEN IT UP!

BUZZ: ONE HOT CHOCOLATE!

DELETE: WITH WHIPPED CREAM!

OOPS!

SORRY, BUZZY!

HEY, IX NAY ON THE UZZY-BAY!

WE'RE IN DISGUISE, REMEMBER?

HACKER: AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!

I'VE HATCHED MY MOST BRILLIANT PLAN EVER!

DON'T RUIN IT!

DIGIT: I LOVE SHOW BUSINESS!

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE MAKING A REAL FILM!

(SQUAWKS) BUT LOOK AT IT ALL!

THE STUFF THAT WE'VE GOT!

CAN WE AFFORD IT?

MUST COST A LOT!

RELAX, DODIE!

600 SNELFUS IS A FORTUNE!

MATT: BUT WE CAN'T HAVE SPENT THAT MUCH!

JACKIE: I COUNTED IT FOUR TIMES!

THERE'S ONLY 300 SNELFUS LEFT!

MATT: BUT HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

EASY, MR. DIRECTOR!

WE STARTED WITH 600...

SPENT 300...

SO WE HAVE 300 LEFT!

WE SPENT HALF OF WHAT WE HAD IN JUST ONE DAY?

JACKIE: THAT'S RIGHT!

IF WE SPEND THE SAME AMOUNT TOMORROW, IT'LL BE ALL GONE!

SHARI: THIS IS A DISASTER!

WHY DON'T WE JUST ASK FOR MORE SNELFUS?

THERE AREN'T ANYMORE, MATHEW.

THE PROFESSOR SAID SO!

WHAT WE NEED IS A MIRACLE.

JACKIE: WRONG!

WHAT WE NEED IS A PLAN!

A PLAN THAT TELLS US HOW TO SPEND OUR MONEY, SO WE DON'T RUN OUT.

A PLAN THAT WE CAN STICK TO!

OOF.

SORRY.

I AGREE.

WE'VE GOT TO SPEND A LOT LESS STARTING TOMORROW.

HOW MUCH LESS?

IT COSTS MONEY TO BE BRILLIANT!

LOTS!

JACKIE: HOLD ON, LET'S FIND OUT HOW MUCH WE CAN SPEND EACH DAY.

WE'VE GOT FOUR SHOOTING DAYS, RIGHT?

AND WE KNOW WE SPENT 300 SNELFUS TODAY, DAY ONE.

SO IF WE SPEND 100 A DAY FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.. THAT TOTALS 300 SNELFUS.

EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE LEFT!

MATT: BUT HOW CAN I MAKE A MOVIE FOR ONLY 100 SNELFUS A DAY?!

HUH?

HUH?

DELETE: WHERE'S THAT MAGIC CHARM THE BOSS TOLD US TO GET?

WELL, IT'S HERE IN THE CHAMBER OF TROLLS...SOMEWHERE.

DELETE: YIIIKES!

OKAY, OKAY... WE FOUND THE TROLLS.

HERE IS THAT MAGIC THINGY.

LET'S BEAT IT!

JACKIE: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW WE SPENT 300 SNELFUS TODAY?

WELL, I PAID THAT SNOOTY ART DIRECTOR TEN SNELFUS!

I THINK WE ORDERED EXTRA HOT CHOCOLATE.

DON'T FORGET THE REST OF THE CREW!

AND THE FILM STOCK!

GUYS!

THIS IS WAY TOO CONFUSING!

WE NEED TO GET ORGANIZED.

LIKE HOW?

JACKIE: WELL, LET'S MAKE CATEGORIES FOR OUR EXPENSES.

LIKE THE ART DIRECTOR, THE BORGS, THE WHOLE CREW, ANYBODY WHO WORKED FOR US.

OKAY THEN.

THERE ARE 20 BORGS ON THE CREW, AND WE PAID EACH ONE TEN SNELFUS FOR TODAY'S WORK.

JACKIE: 20 BORGS - TIMES TEN SNELFUS...

EQUALS 200 SNELFUS FOR JUST ONE DAY.

YIKES!

DIGIT: AND WE FED THE CREW, TOO.

SHARI: AT TWO SNELFUS EACH!

NEW CATEGORY: FOOD!

TWO SNELFUS TIMES 20 BORGS... MEANS WE SPENT 40 SNELFUS FOR FOOD.

NEXT CATEGORY!

SHARI: FILM STUFF!

TEN SNELFUS FOR CABLES!

MATT: 30 FOR THE LIGHTS AND CAMERA.

AND TEN CARTRIDGES OF FILM, AT TWO SNELFUS A CARTRIDGE EQUALS UH... 20!

OKAY.

FILM STUFF CATEGORY: 60 SNELFUS!

300 SNELFUS FOR CREW, FOOD, AND FILM STUFF!

SHARI: FINALLY, I CAN SEE WHERE ALL THAT MONEY WENT!

JACKIE: YUP!

NOW WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHERE THE REST IS NOT GOING TO GO!

FINE, BUT CAN WE DO IT IN THE MORNING?

(YAWNS) I'M BEAT!

JACKIE: ALL RIGHT!

GO TO SLEEP!

BUT SOMEBODY'S GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS MOVIE FOR 100 SNELFUS A DAY!

SECOND DAY OF SHOOTING READY TO START BUT WE'RE WATCHING WHAT WE SPEND NOW!

CHECK OUT THE CHART!

JACKIE: OKAY, PEOPLE, WE NOW HAVE A PLAN FOR SPENDING NO MORE THAN ONE 100 SNELFUS A DAY.

IT'S CALLED A BUDGET!

HERE'S HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK.

I'VE CUT DOWN THE CREW FROM 20 BORGS TO ONLY SIX.

SO NOW THE CREW COSTS ONLY 60 SNELFUS A DAY, A LOT LESS THAN THE 200 WE SPENT YESTERDAY.

MATT: COOL!

AND LESS CREW MEANS LESS FOOD!

AT TWO SNELFUS A HEAD - TIMES SIX, THAT'S ONLY 12 SNELFUS A DAY FOR FOOD.

WAIT!

I MADE THIS FOOD MYSELF, SO WE CAN CUT OUT TWO MORE SNELFUS!

DIGIT: BEAUTIFUL!

THAT CUTS THE FOOD COST DOWN TO TEN SNELFUS A DAY!

THIS PLAN JUST MIGHT WORK!

OKAY, BUDGET LADY, WE CUT OUT A LOT OF STUFF, BUT WE STILL NEED 15 FILM CARTRIDGES A DAY, WHICH COSTS 30 SNELFUS.

JACKIE: ALL RIGHT, MR. FILM DIRECTOR.

DIGIT, PLEASE ENTER 30 SNELFUS IN THE FILM CATEGORY.

DIGIT: 30 IT IS!

NOW, ADD UP THE CATEGORIES AND WE GET A TOTAL OF... 100 SNELFUS PER DAY!

JUST WHAT I FIGURED.

FILL IN DAY 3 AND 4 THE SAME WAY DIGIT!

HACKER: BRAVO!

BRAVO!

I'M TRULY IMPRESSED BY YOUR BUDGET!

JACKIE: REALLY?

EVEN THOUGH WE FIRED YOU?

WHO CARES ABOUT MONEY?

THIS IS ART!

I'M STAYING ON AS YOUR ART DIRECTOR... FREE OF CHARGE!

AND SO ARE YOUR CATERERS!

MATT: COOL!

(THRU BULLHORN) PLACES EVERYONE!

DELETE: BOSS!

DID YOU SAY WE'RE WORKING FOR NOTHIN'?

ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT WE STAY AROUND THE SET SO I CAN SNEAK THIS INTO THE FILM!

THE EYE OF FIG NEWT IS THE SECRET TO THE SUCCESS OF MY SCHEME!

WITH IT, I'LL BEWITCH STUMBLESNORE.

AND CONTROL EVERY STUDENT AT FROGSNORTS!

(EVIL LAUGHTER)
