 * Nate: [narrating] Hi. I'm Nate Wright, but I like to call myself Big Nate. I'm no small bug, or grain of sand, or microscopic... speck. No, I'm Big Nate, and that's all that really matters. Objectively, I'm just an ordinary guy, most people say, but I believe that I'm destined for greatness. But, of course, when you're destined for greatness, there's always someone holding you back. And I don't mean to say that to boost the suspense or the story just to dumb it down and make it look... dumb. No, no, no, no, no, no, NO. I really mean there's always someone holding you back. When you're destined for greatness, at first, you don't feel a sense of grace or will. No, at first, you feel like you're being chained with fifteen handcuffs to the rim of a volcano surrounded by backstabbing weirdos, smirking perfectionists and straight up GODZILLA.

 * Francis: Hey, man! Anything wrong?
 * Nate: [narrating] Oh, that's Francis. He's my best friend. We became best friends in kindergarten. We were having nap time, when Francis started snoring. And then I whacked him in the face with my Thomas The Tank Engine lunchbox.
 * Francis: Dude? DUDE?
 * Nate: Francis, I'm fine! Let's go find Teddy.
 * Francis: Good idea... let's go.
 * [They walk around, looking for Teddy, when they come across Randy Betancourt]
 * Randy: What the florping fudge do you think you're doing here?
 * Nate: U-us? We're...
 * Francis: Nate, run!!
 * Nate: [runs]
 * Randy: Get back 'ere!
 * Nate: You'll never take me alive!
 * Randy: We'll see about that!
 * Nate: No you won't!
 * Randy: Oh yeah?! [gets stapler out of his bag, and throws it at Nate]
 * Nate: YOW!! [picks up TBA and throws it at Randy]
 * Randy: OOF! [runs towards Nate]
 * Nate: ...Dang.
 * Randy: [headbutts Nate]
