BEAR: Oh, a birthday
salmon for me?

Oh, you shouldn't have.

- Hey, look what I did.

I filled up this
rubber glove with Blix.

- Why do Saturday mornings
make you extra weird?

- It's not weird.

See...

I poked a hole with a pin
in the index finger

so I can
drink out of it.

Check it.

- Congrats.
You made a Blix cow.

- Mmm.

Yeah, they should
sell these.

- No, they--they shouldn't.

- Hey.
My dad said yes!

Check out my permission slip,
freshly downloaded.

- Why do you need
a permission slip?

- So I can leave campus to
go to the Book Nook

to met JT Hawthorne.

- The author?

- The best author ever.

You know how many times
I've read this book?

- How many times?

- I don't know, I'm just so
excited I get to...

What's he doing?

- He, uh, he made a Blix cow.

- Mmm, want some?

- Not really.

- Wait, the Book Nook's
like 20 miles from here.

- Yeah, how are you
getting there?

- Ms. Donovan's
going to drive me.

- Ms. Donovan's gonna
drive you?

- Yeah, tonight at 6:00.
Why?

- Uh, you better find
yourself another ride.

- Why?

- Ms. Donovan's having
her baby right now.

- Yeah.

- I thought she wasn't due
for three more weeks?

- She wasn't.
- But she had Mexican food

for lunch, and boom.
- Whoo!

- I love Mexican food!

Have you people ever tried
that tortilla soup?

You know, in Spanish,
soup is called sopa.

- Just drink your glove.

- How am I gonna get to
the Book Nook?

- Calm down.

Just find another
adult to drive you.

- It's already past noon.

People make plans
for Saturday nights.

- So you just gotta find
an adult here at PCA

who's got a car
but no social life.

MAN: ♪ So nothing is new ♪

WOMAN: ♪ Ooh yeah ♪

♪ Ooh yeah ♪

♪ Ooh yeah ♪

- [exhales]

- Coco, I've been looking
all over for you.

- Oh, hey, Zoey.
Grab some pine, sit.

- Thanks.

So listen,
I need a favor.

- Look, I'm having a salad.

- Yes you are.

- I'm on a new eating plan.

- Oh, are you still seeing
that nutritionist?

- Nah. She told me I wasn't
allowed to come back.

I got a new one

who told me
I should eat more salads

and notice,

Thousand Island
dressing on the side.

- Isn't Thousand Island
really fattening?

- That's why
I got it on the side.

- Yeah, so anyway, will you
do me a big favor?

- Maybe.

Maybe not.

What's the favor?

- Okay, you know
the author JT Hawthorne?

- I don't read books.
- Okay, well, I do

and she's, like, my favorite
writer of all time.

- Salt.

- And, um, she's gonna be
at the Book Nook tonight,

and my dad signed
a permission slip

saying that
I could leave campus--

- Could you ask me this
favor with less words?

- Will you drive me please?

- What's in it for me?

- Well, what do you want?

- You wanna
know what I want?

- I can't find you
a husband.

- Fine.

Hey,

you're friends with
Michael Barret, right?

- Michael?
Yeah, sure.

- Well, at last year's
PCA potluck brunch,

he made his grandmother's
special ravioli,

and it was
insanely awesome.

- I remember.
- Okay, then.

You get Michael to make me
a batch of that magic rav,

I'll drive you to Tijuana.

- Just the Book Nook.

We gotta leave PCA
at 6:00 sharp.

- No problem.

- You'll get your ravioli.

WOMAN: ♪ Ooh yeah ♪

♪ Ooh yeah ♪

- Mmm.

Mmm.

Oh.

Mmm.

- It was Darkseid!

- It was Brainiac!

- I thought it was the Thing.

- That's Marvel, dipwad.

- This is a DC discussion.

[overlapping shouting]

- Hey, guys!

I'm kind of
studying over here.

You think you could cool
the volume a little bit?

- It was Darkseid.

- Okay, I think I know
a little more

about Superman than you.

- Yeah?
On what planet?

- Earth.
Krypton.

You name it, buddy.

- Brainiac did not k*ll
Superman on issue number 74.

- He did so!
- No he didn't!

- Guys!

Seriously!

- I'm not a dipwad.

- You are a dipwad.
You don't even read--

[all shouting]

- Brainiac, Brainiac!

- Okay!

It was not Darkseid,
it was not Brainiac.

It was Doomsday, all right?

Doomsday k*lled Superman.

And it was not
in issue number 74,

it was in issue number 75,
published in 1993!

Got it?!

- How do you know?

- My uncle used to manage
a comic book store,

and when I was a little kid
I did way too much reading.

Okay?

Don't tell anyone.

- Wow.

He's handsome
and knowledgeable.

- So you don't even know about
these comic books.

- It was Brainiac!
- Look, it's Darkseid!

- No, it was Brainiac!

[all shouting]

- Please?

- It takes a whole day
to make that ravioli.

- So start now.

- I can't.

I have to finish
a history project with

Stacey Dillsen by Monday.

- Okay, then give me the recipe
and I'll make the ravioli.

- [laughing]

My grandma would k*ll me

if I gave anyone that recipe.

And she's got those
big old lady arms

with all the jiggly flab.

- Well, what if I get Stacey

to finish the project
without you?

- All right,
you get Stacey to do that

and you got yourself a batch
of Grandma's ravioli.

- Done.

Okay, you start cooking.
I'll take care of Stacey.

- All right, cool.

[sniffs]

[women grunting]

- Oh.

How awesome is
women's tennis?

- Shh!

It's match point.

Whoa!

- Ooh.

- Okay, you were right
about who k*lled Superman.

- Okay, thanks, bye.

- But anyone can get lucky.

- $3 if you'll all go away.

- Not so fast.

- See if you can answer
these, hot shorts.

- Should I leave you
alone with your nerds?

- No.
- Well, I'm gonna.

Late.
- Logan.

- Question number one.

- Dude.

- What other superhero
helped Spider-Man

the first time
he fought the Ringmaster

and his circus of crime?

- Daredevil.

Spider-Man issue 16.

[all murmuring]

- Name the members of
the X-Men, past or present,

who are or
were not mutants.

- Calvin Rankin, the Mimic.

[all murmuring]

- Which of Wonder Woman's
accessories was forged from

the magic girdle
of Aphrodite?

- Her Lasso of Truth.

[all gasp]

- He knows everything.

- Hey, um...

Can we all hang out with you?

- No.

- How about just me?

- I'm out of here.

- He's on the move.
- Come on!

- One Mississippi,

two Mississippi,

three Mississippi,

four Mississippi,

five Mississippi,

six Mississippi, seven--

- Hi, Stacey.

- Zoey, what brings
you to my room?

- I need a favor.
- Well, sure, just ask.

- I need you to finish building
your model by yourself

without Michael.

- But he's my activity partner.
- I know.

- Mr. Davenport specifically
assigned Michael and myself

to re-create
the Great Pyramid of Giza.

- Yeah, but--
- So far we've completed only

Queen Hetepheres' tomb

and the burial chamber
of Pharaoh Khufu.

Nice wristwatch.

- Look, Stacey,
I really need Michael

to do something for me.

- Well...
Okay, tell you what.

- Yeah?

- I'll finish this pyramid
sans Michael,

i.e. by myself,
- You will?

- If...

you get me a date
with one Logan Reese.

- Logan?

- Reese.

- Why do you want to
go out with Logan?

- Have you seen him?
He's scrumptious.

And his arms.

Oh, his arms.

Come on,
you're friends with him.

- Yeah, sorta.

- Then get me
a date with him

and I'll finish
this pyramid solo.

- Okay, deal.

You finish the pyramid
without Michael,

I'll go get you
a date with Logan.

- [shrieking]

Hear that, my little
cotton-topped friends?

One day, I could be
Mrs. Stacey Reese!

[shrieking]

[giggling]

- [laughing]

- Oh, come on!

- You're out of your mind,
cupcake.

- But if you don't
go out with Stacey,

then Stacey won't build her
dumb model without Michael

and then Michael won't make
his grandma's ravioli for Coco

and then Coco won't take
me to meet

JT Hawthorne
at the Book Nook!

- Boo and hoo.

- Please?!

Logan!

Oh man.

Logan!

MAN: ♪ It's my turn now to
sing my song ♪

♪ Please give me a hand ♪

♪ The spotlight
never dictates who I am ♪

- Logan, come on.
- No.

- Why won't you take
Stacey out on one date?

- I don't want to spend
a Saturday night making

stuff out of cotton swabs
and white glue.

- Petite javaccino.

- This is tiny.

- You ordered a petite.
You want a grandiose?

- No, that's too much.

Give me an average.

- Average.

- Please do this for me.

Do you understand what's
gonna happen if you say no?

- Yes, I do.

If I won't
take out Stacey,

then Stacey won't build her
model without Michael.

And then Michael won't make

his grandmother's ravioli
for Coco,

and then Coco won't
drive you to meet JT Hawthorne

at the Book Nook.

- Here's your average.

- Thanks.

- If you take Stacey out,
I swear,

I'll never ask you
for anything ever again.

- Okay.
- Okay?

- If you do
a favor for me.

- I am not kissing you.

- I don't want your lips.

- Oh, yes you do.

- I want my PCA ring back.
- Huh?

- The ring I lost to
your little brother

on that stupid bet.

- You made a stupid bet.

Who thinks
rabbits like salsa?

- It's the number-one
condiment in America.

- Whatever. Dustin won that
ring from you fair and square.

How can I--
- Hey...

If you want me to take
Stacey Dillsen on a date,

get me my ring back
from Dustin.

something in the air ♪

♪ That stopped me

WOMAN: ♪ Oh my, my ♪

♪ Oh my, my, my ♪

- [sighing]

Okay, let's
rehearse this again.

- No!

- And now,
ladies and gentlemen,

I will saw
my assistant Scooter...

in half.

- I don't want to do this!

- Scooter.

- What if it cuts my legs?

- I'm not gonna cut your legs.

- Just--just
let me out, man.

I'm claustrophobic!

- Do you want to win
the middle school

talent show or not?
- I don't care anymore!

[groaning]

- Dustin, hey,
I've got to talk to you.

- I'm kind of busy.

- I just need you to give your
ring back to Logan.

- No way.

I won this fair and square.

- Dustin!

- I think I'm having
a panic att*ck!

- Think about flowers.

- If you give me your ring,

I'll clean your room
for the rest of the semester.

- Yeah, I'm really not
that into being clean.

- Just give me that ring.
- No!

- I think I'm starting
to pass out.

I smell toast!

[groaning]

- Okay, you really want me to
give Logan this ring back?

- So much.

- Then get Lola to be my
assistant in the talent show.

- You have an assistant.

- No, I have a mess in a box.

- I have feelings!

- Well, why do you want Lola
to be your assistant?

- Because every kid in
my class has a crush on her.

If Lola's my assistant,

I've got first place
locked down.

- All right, I'll get Lola
to be your assistant.

- Thank God!

- Just give Logan
his ring back.

- Deal!

Okay, Scooter,
you're off the hook.

- [screaming]

- He runs like a duck.

- Excuse me.

You know it's a violation
of PCA rules

to play foosball alone.

- Is it?

Hmm, I didn't know.

- Yeah, well, no worries.

I'll play with you,
you know, before

campus security shows up.

So, um, listen,
when I drop this ball--

- Chase!
- What?

- We have to talk to you.
- No.

- It's imperative.

- Um, I'll leave you so you
can talk with your friends.

- No, no, no, don't--
don't go.

These guys aren't
my friends.

Oh.

k*ll me.

- So we have good news.

- You were all expelled.

- No.

We elected you president

of our comic book
discussion group.

- What?

- You b*at Neil
by over a dozen votes.

- Yeah, look,
I'm flattered, but--

- You need to read these
for the next meeting.

- Dude--
- As president,

you'll be leading
the discussion.

- I don't wanna--

- And you need to bring
a platter of cookies.

- I'm allergic to nuts.
- I can't have gluten.

- Okay, I'm leaving now.

- He wants you to
carry his stack!

- Yeah.
- Hurry up.

- Come on.
- Chase!

- So will you do it?

- I don't want to be Dustin's
magic show assistant. Ew!

- But you'd really
be helping me out.

Please?

- What time does
the show start?

- 5:30.

- Then I can't do it.

- Why?
- 'Cause I promised

Mr. Bender I'd babysit
his kid 'til 7:00.

[baby cooing]

- Is that my shoe
he's chewing on?

- Oh, let him
have his fun.

- Hey, if I can get the kid
another babysitter,

then will you be Dustin's
magic assistant?

- Sure.

- Come here, kid.

[baby cooing]

- Where are we going?

- To find Chase.

- Ahh!
- Whoa!

You scared me.

- I need you to
babysit this baby.

- Why?

- Because I gotta go meet
JT Hawthorne.

- Wow, I'm confused.

- Will you babysit
or not?

- Look, I...

Wait.

Yes.
- Yay!

- If...
- Oy.

- You get those nerds to
quit following me around.

- Okay, I'll do it.
Here, have a baby.

[baby cooing]

- Whoa, aren't you supposed
to leave PCA at 6:00?

- Yeah, and I gotta shower!

- Well, it's 5:15.
You better go!

- But how am I going to get
those nerds

to leave Chase alone?
- I'll handle the nerds.

- Okay. Oh, and you gotta go
meet Dustin at the talent show.


- I got it, go!

- There's Chase.

- Chase, wait up, buddy!

- Okay, you better get
those nerds off me

or you're
getting this baby back.

- Don't worry, just run.

- Chase, Chase, Chase!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[phone ringing]
- Hey.

- Okay, I just talked
to the nerds.

ALL: Nerds?

- Oh, you're used to it.

- Well, come on, did they say
they'd leave Chase alone?

- Yes, they agreed
to leave Chase alone.

- Good.
- If...

- Another if?
- Yeah.

If you can get
Quinn to give them

some computer operating
system she designed.

- What operating system?
- I don't--

- Quinn made the best
operating system ever,

but she won't let anyone
else use it.

It's called
Quinndows QP and I want it.

- Okay, if I get Quinn
to give you Quinndows QP,

you guys promise
you'll quit bugging Chase?

- Absolutely.

- Okay, I'll handle it.

- Sweet.

Neil out.

Hey, um...

I don't know if you have
plans next Saturday night--

- Stop.

- I know.

[all snickering]

Go get me some pudding!

- I can't give them
Quinndows QP.

- You have to.
I promised the nerds!

Zoey--
- If you don't give it to them,

they won't leave Chase alone.
- But I--

- Chase won't babysit
Mr. Bender's kid,

which means Lola won't be
Dustin's assistant

for his magic show.
- I get it, but--

- Then Dustin won't
give Logan his ring back

and then Logan won't go out
with Stacey--

- Can I just
please get a word?

- Then Stacey won't finish her
history project without Michael

and then Michael won't
be able to make his

grandma's ravioli for Coco!
- If I could just--

- Then Coco won't drive me
to the Book Nook,

and I'll never meet
JT Hawthorne and I'll cry!

- There is no Quinndows QP!

- What do you mean?
- I lost it.

Mark spilled clam juice all
over my hard drive and poof!

It was unrecoverable.

I don't have it anymore.

- Quinn!

- It's gone.

- No!

No, no, no!

Do you know
what this means?

Do you know what
this means?!

- [squealing]

- Well?

- Quinn lost
the operating system.

- What?

- What?

- Well, then that means
we don't have to keep our

promise to Zoey.
- Good.

Let's go make
Chase our leader again!

ALL: Yeah!

- Hey, Chase.
- Chase, Chase!

- The X-Men...

[overlapping talking]

- And now,
ladies and gentlemen,

my assistant Lola
will climb into the box

and then I'll
saw her in two.

[applauding]

[baby cooing]

- But...

Chase, I thought
you said you would--

[baby cooing]

Sorry.

[audience groans]

- Wait, wait, wait,
we had a deal.

Where are you going?

[audience booing]

- And this one time,
I was at this

fantasy sci-fi convention.

There was this guy who was
dressed up like an android,

but it was really,
really, really realistic

and so for a moment,
I thought he was actually real.

So I actually followed him
around for, like, three hours

'cause I thought he'd go back
to the mother ship

and I'd get to see it,

but it turns out he didn't
because then he took off

and he was just
some guy from Tulsa.

And then this one time,
for Halloween,

I dressed up like
Marie Antoinette, but, like,

if the guillotine had
kind of failed,

so I had to do all
this really weird makeup.

It was so funny.

[crying]

[screaming]

What are you doing?

Michael Barret, come
and help me with this.

- Look, I'm gonna
finish the ravioli,

then I'm going to
help you, okay?

I don't care who ran away!

- What the heck is
that supposed to mean?

- Look, okay, look,
I'll help you later.

Just let me finish
the ravioli.

Look my grandma
will be mad if--hey!

- Zoey, Zoey!

- Zoey, you need to
tell her we had a deal.

Okay, you need to take her--
- Just make the ravioli.

[all shouting]

- I'm gonna finish
the ravioli!

Look, Logan
is not that cool,

okay, I know him!

You know what? Fine!
- What?!

- You know what? Fine.

That's it.
- No, no, no!

- Come here.

- [mumbling]

- You got the stuff?

- Well, yes and no.

- What does that mean?

Well, Michael got mad
and he tossed the ravioli

in the garbage can
before he cooked it.

- So you expect me to
drive you to the Book Nook

for a dish full
of uncooked ravioli

that you fished out
of a garbage can?

- No.

- Eh, I'll take it.

Get in the car.

- Yay!
