Heh, heh, heh, check!
What? This game is rigged.
I wouldn't do that.
Eeh.
Nope.
Forget it. I'll go play on my tablet.
You dropped it in the hotel pool, remember?
Ugh!
Checkmate! Aah!
What happened, Grandpa?
We've hit a bit of a snag.
I've never seen traffic this backed up before.
Are we in Los Angeles?
It must be blocked for miles.
Can't we just call the chopper?
Phil is doing some repairs on it after last week.
I'm sure this will clear up in a jiffy.
Prepare to be humiliated!
Your king is in the wrong place.
Checkmate! Ugh!
It's like I'm stuck in the losing lane,
just like this stupid loser traffic!
Let me give you some advice -- don't just act on impulse.
You have to look a few moves ahead!
"A few moves ahead"? We're not moving at all.
See?
Wow. We have been here a while.
I know. I can give you some pointers on chess strategy.
I've got some ideas already.
The most important move in the game is the opening move.
Of course, some would argue that...
We're not moving? Why aren't we moving, Gramma?
Because all the cars are stopped, honey.
That's dumb! Cars are dumb!
I'm bored! Gramma, I want to go!
Simon, dear, how about if you go see
if Ryan wants to play a game?
I got a seatbelt on.
Just click that button right there.
I'll go talk to Ryan.
[ Sighs ]
You want to play a game?
-Uh-huh. -I'll go pick one, okay?
Sure.
Wanna play Mana Ma-la--
Nope.
-Chuck-- -Nope.
What do you want to play?
This.

Uh-huh.
[ Horn honking ]
I'll get these cars moving.
[ Beeps ]
[ Phone rings ]
[ Man talking distinctly on other end ]
Yes, hi. We're stuck in traffic,
and I don't think we're gonna make our reservation.
[ Man talking indistinctly ]
What do you mean, it's too late to cancel?
[ Man talking indistinctly ]
Yes, I would like to speak with your manager.
And what's really cool -- there's a play where your pawn
can take another pawn by moving diagonally!
It's called - uh, wait here. I've got a book in the back.
Oh, goody, a book!
[ Stomping ] Huh?
I know those feet!
Finally, something fun to do!
Here it is. It's called "en passant,"
meaning "in passing."
Fascinating, right, Ben?
Ben?
Grandpa, Ben up there with you?
[ Snoring ] Huh? What?
Are we there yet? No, uh, nope. No, no Ben!
Ah. Mm.
[ Snoring ]
Oh, boy!
This calls for the big guy!
[ Beeping ]
[ Roars ]
Why are there so many cars?
Uh, hey, Simon!
Ben! Cool monster!
You're as big as me now! -Um, yeah!
Uh, I see you still have your backpack! Heh.
I kind of figured someone would have taken it from you by now.
Uh, what brings you out here?
These cars are in the way.
I've been moving them.
[ People yell ]
Maybe I should hold that for you?
Help me move the other cars?
Um, are you serious?
Whoa! Oh, okay.
Hoo-boy.
Maybe this isn't such a good idea, Simon!
Look out!
Can we rethink this plan?
Oh. Hey, boys, look, we're moving.
Oh, come on. Why aren't we moving?
Maxine? Oh, hey, darling!
What a nice surprise.
[ Giggles ]
Ryan?! Oh, my gosh!
Hey! More cars keep filling in the empty spots!
That's not nice!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Simon, I have an idea!
What say we mosey on back to our campers and...
No! I want everybody gone!
Okay.
How about we go see what's causing the jam?
Fine.
Come on, lady! You gonna merge, or what?
I know, right? It's like, whatever!
And they were all, like, "Pay attention!"
And I was like, "Duh!" And then--
Oh, Max, you are too much!
I'm sure you'd really enjoy having me and my kids
around the whole time you're in Monument Valley!
I wouldn't have asked if I didn't.
[ Marching band music plays ]
Aw, come on!
[ Engine starts ]
Agh! We still can't go anywhere!
I'm just gonna fix this myself!
Simon!
Oh, perfect.
Hey, Simon!
Simon!
Simon, you're gonna hurt someone!
Yes. That is precisely the game.
Can we open the sunroof?
Uh, sure, honey.
-Move! -[ Both yell ]
You're in my way!
Simon!
[ Both yell ]
[ Yelling ]
Oh, man, this is bad.
And of course, no juice yet.
Agh! This is taking too long!
We can't move, and nobody will play a game with me!
That'll make it go faster!
Game?
[ Yells ]
What?
[ Grunting ]
Ugh, man. Kids are exhausting.
Go away!
[ Yelling ]
Aagh! [ Beeping ]
All right!

Simon, you need to stop, now!
You can't tell me what to do!
Simon, don't make me put my foot down!
You're no fun anymore!
[ Yells ]
Ouch!
Whoa!
[ Cheering ]
Come on, Simon. You need to calm down.
You calm down!
Whoa, boy! Got to adjust my strategy here!
Everyone needs to go away!
Hey, Simon!
You call that punching? Looks more like hugging.
Oh, yeah?! How's this for hugging, you big meanie!
Oh, what was that? A tickle?
[ Cheering ]
Yoo-hoo! Over here, Simon!
Is that really the best you can do?
I thought that suit was supposed to make you tough.
Stop teasing me!
Simon?
That was mean! You're a big meanie!
Hey, Simon?
What?!
Would you like to play a game of chess?
Sumo Slammers?
Can I hold it?
Wow! So cool!
How do you play?
Yeah, I'm probably not the best person to ask.
[ Both laugh ]
Sleep tight, buddy. Oh, almost forgot.
Ooh, I've got to be quiet. The little guy fell asleep.
Oops. Sorry.
My little traffic gambit was a success.
It appears I have a new prospect.
-Yes, Forever Knight? -You may release the blockade.
Voice: Yes, sir.
Come on! please see me!
Any luck?
How long you been sitting there?
Long enough for...

Checkmate.
Oh, hey, Gwen. Ryan? No!
