- [groans] Do you always have to be by my locker?
- Max, that's Cherry's locker.
- Oh, you're right.
Oooh, a muffin! [laughs]
- Hey, guys.
- Ah, don't hurt me! I'll put it back!
- [locker door slams]
- Oh, this. Yeah.
It belongs to my older brother, Perry.
I accidentally grabbed it on the way out this morning.
- How did you "accidentally" do that?
- I thought it was my back scratcher.
- Let's focus on the weirder thing here.
You have an older brother?
- Cherry has five brothers. - Yep.
- Perry, Harry, Terry, Barry and John Cena.
- I think you made that last one up.
- Perry is training to become a hockey pro
and live in Canada.
- And John is a very popular professional wrestler.
- John Cena is not your brother!
- Anyway, Perry's in town because they're honoring him
by hanging his old hockey jersey up at the local skating rink.
- Ah, hockey...
I coulda gone pro, if it wasn't for one thing.
- PHOEBE: You've never played.
- Yeah, that's the one thing.
See ya.
- I can't believe I finally get to meet the famous Perry.
- Yep, everybody loves Perry the Great.
But whenever he's around, I become Cherry the Who?
- You always say that. It can't be that bad.
- Oh, it's worse.
One time our parents came to pick us up from summer camp--
took Perry home and forgot me.
- How far did they get before they realized?
- January.
- Hey, Cherry! - Hey, Coach Shimeck.
- I wanna talk to you about how well you did
on your health class exam.
- See? Nobody forgot about you.
- I'm so proud of-- Holy hockey sticks, it's Perry!
- STUDENTS: [chanting "Perry! Perry!"]
- So, about my exam?
- Who are you?
- STUDENTS: [chanting continues]
- Right back at you.
[chanting] Strangers! Strangers! Strangers!
Hey, Cherry.
- Hey, Perry. This is my bestie.
- Hi. Um...I'm Boebe.
Uh, Moebe.
Phoebe. [laughs]
That's me. It's nice to meet me.
I mean, you.
- It's very nice to meet you.

Feel that spark?
- It's called static electricity.
Here's your hockey back. Bye.
Do you see what I'm talking about?
He walks into a room
and everything becomes all about him.
- Cherry, don't be silly.
It's not all about Perry.
- COACH SHIMECK: Attention, students!
Perry is in the quad! I repeat, Perry is in the quad!
- STUDENTS: [excited chatter]

That's interesting.

You know, I coulda gone pro, if it wasn't for one thing.
- You've never played. - That's the one thing.
So, explain this game real quick, so I can b*at ya.
- First, you take a bottle that's half full.
Or is it half empty?
Whoa-a-a-a-a...
- Billy, stop. Nora, go.
- The goal is to flip the bottle into the air
and have it land upright...
- [bottle thuds] - ...like this.
- Wow, you guys are really talented.
Why is this a thing?
- Let's go look it up online.
- So, all you do is toss a bottle in the air?
How hard can that be?
- Actually, it's pretty hard.
- Well, by the law of older brothers,
I'm better than you at everything.
- Oh, yeah? Race you to Texas!
[zooming]
I win, pardner!
- I meant better than you at games.
Observe.

This table isn't even level.
- Fine. Then why don't you try it at the kitchen island?
- Sure.
Watch and learn...

- It'll probably be impossible for us to do this, then.

Is that mumbling your way of saying
we're better than you?

I hope he comes back.

You know how I love singing while I eat ice cream.
- Yes. I love watching you
and making sure you don't choke.
- Well, they just opened up
a new karaoke ice cream club downtown.
It's called... I Scream, You Scream
Really Loudly Into a Microphone!
- Cool. But there's no microphone here,
so you don't have to scream yet.

Oh, my mom's calling.
Hey, Mom.
But, no, I don't wanna--
Fine.

You'll never guess what he wanted.
- To ask you out. - Wow, that's a good guess.

I thought I saw him being all flirty
with you at school.
And what did his face look like
when you said you would never go out with him?
- Uh...
- Ooh, it was that bad?
Oh, he must have been so surprised
that somebody turned him down.
- So surprised.
- Thank you for not dating him. - Yeah.

I'll forget about her, too.
