03x18 - Something to Talk A-Boot

[bunniefuu]

BOWIE: Previously on Andi Mack...

BEX: Shadyside Academy of Visual Arts.

SAVA.

ANDI: I think you were
right about this place.

I really wanna go here.

You still think I can get in, right?

Of course.

Amber figured out that I'm not
giving you chess lessons.

Great. Okay, now I need
some other excuse

why I can't hang out with her.

AMBER: I have an idea.

- Amber!
- Amber!

Why don't you just break up with me?

I hope we can still be friends.

What are you, reading from cue cards?

Buffy?

- Marty.
- Are you okay?

I'm fine. Just a cramp.

- (BOTH LAUGHING)
- We did it.

Mart-ay!

What's up with the limp?

It's getting better.

Who are you texting?

It's the name and number
of a foot doctor.

I don't need to see a doctor.

Well, you do.

Did someone text Buffy?

Yes, she's on her way.

She said she's coming
from an appointment.

An appointment? What kind?

Her hair appointment
isn't until next week.

And she just had her teeth cleaned.

You guys are really close.

BOTH: Yeah.

Hey.

- When did you?
- How did you?

- What is that?
- A stress fracture,

That sounds bad. How did that happen?

They're very common.

People get them all the time
from repeating movements

in their everyday lives.

But I did this to myself

by running a marathon without training.

You're an overachiever even
when it comes to your injuries.

So what about basketball?

Are you still going to be able to play?

Yeah.

- Great.
- Good.

Phew.

Next season.

Great.

Hey, speedy.

(CHUCKLES)

What are you doing, you weirdo?

Giving you a ride to class.

I heard about your foot. That's rough.

It's okay.

Tell your face.

Fine. It's not okay.

It's the worst.

The Spikes have one more game
this season and I can't play.

I can barely walk.

I just got passed by a caterpillar.

So hop in already.

Second bell is about to ring.

Do I wanna ask where you got this?

Nope.

Fasten your seatbelt.

It was so nice of him.

I mean, T.J. used to be the worst.

- And now he's the best?
- Hmm.

And who was perceptive enough
to see the good in him first?

Don't pull a muscle patting
yourself on the back, Cyrus.

I'll do it the normal way,

when I floss.

Looks like Amber is still struggling.

Because of me?

What else could it be?

An existential crisis?

A what?

It's when you write a lot of bad poetry.

Whatever it is, it's coming our way.

Could I talk to you for a minute?

Amber, I'm sorry I did
such a bad job breaking up.

- I didn't mean to...
- Stop.

Don't.

It's done.

There's just one thing
I need from you now.

Sure. Anything.

I need you stop coming to The Spoon.

Oh.

Look, it makes me sad to see you.

And even sadder to see
other people seeing me sad.

Also, let's face it.

Nobody tips a bummed-out waitress.

Okay, sure. I'll...

I'll stay away.

It won't be for long.

I hope.

I'll leave now.

Is everything okay?

Amber needs some space.

From me.

(LAUGHING)

They k*ll me.

"Oh, hello."

(LAUGHING)

Ah.

Hey.

Something on your mind?

I finished my application to SAVA.

- Andi, that's fantastic.
- But...

I'm not sure I'm going to submit it.

That seems like an important
step in the process.

What if I'm not one of the five percent?

What if they're not dazzled
by lamps made out of old CDs?

I don't respond to ridiculous questions.

What do you think?

Hey, I get it.

I trust your judgment.

"You trust my judgment"?

And I not supposed to?

You're supposed to say
that I'm talented.

And that you believe in me.

And that this school would
be crazy not to want me.

Well, of course they'd be crazy.

Well, there's the right answer.

Or it would have been.

Seven seconds ago.

Hey, if they don't accept you,

it's because they're pretentious

and stuck up and wrong.

So you don't think I'll get in?

That's not what I said.

But it's what I heard.

(SCOFFS)

Why didn't you just tell her
she's gonna get in?

Because what if she doesn't?

As the man said to the horse:

Why the long face?

I got a summons to appear
in Student Court tomorrow.

What's Student Court?

And why wasn't I asked to be on it?

Sorry, back to your thing.

It's a group of students
who figure out your punishment

if you did something wrong.

Mr. Bag is making me go.

Because you took his golf cart?

It's a long walk to the PE field

and I guess he really
depends on those cup holders.

But you just did it to help Buffy.

You were being a nice guy!

Yeah, a nice guy who
might now get suspended,

or even kicked off the basketball team.

It's that serious?

Then I'm gonna be your lawyer.

Well it's not that type of court.

People don't have lawyers.

They do now.

But you're not gonna...

Listen, I'd love to keep
arguing about this,

but I gotta pick out a suit.

- Boo!
- (GASPS)

What was that?

Nothing...

yet.

I have to make a decision.

Ugh. About what?

Well... I don't want to tell you,

because it might not happen.

And if it doesn't,

and everybody knows,
it'll be that much worse.

This probably makes no sense.

Makes perfect sense.

I have those conversations
with myself all the time.

Really?

Well, in that case...

without knowing anything about it,

should I do it or not?

Huh.

Without knowing anything about it?

Except that it seems
to make you tense and nervous.

I'd say...

no.

You would?

If you wanted to say yes,

you wouldn't be asking me this question.

No.

No.

I think... I think you're right.

I feel less stressed already.

I'm not going to do it.

Thanks. You really helped.

- I did?
- Now, you need to go

so I can not do it.

♪ ♪

Sent?

Oh, no.

I did it.

So it's true.

You have broken foot?

No.

I have a mild narrowing
of the second metatarsal,

indicative of a stress fracture.

Which means the chances
of winning our last game

have majorly narrowed to zero.

We were getting so close!

I thought that this time
we actually had a sh*t.

We do.

Kaitlin, the team is light years
ahead of where they used to be.

Plus, I made this.

What is it?

BUFFY: A playbook.

It's my way of helping out
from the bench.

KAITLIN: What are all these
circles and letters?

The players.

Am I on here?

I know it looks confusing,

but once we run the drills, it won't be.

Buffy, I know this team
is important to you.

It's important to us, too, but...

I don't know what this is.

Only that it's not gonna be the
same as having you on the court.

You won't even give it a sh*t?

I'm sorry.

♪ ♪

Boot!

(GAVEL BANGING)

The court will come to order.

Wait! Wait, wait! Wait, wait, wait!

(WHEELS CLATTERING)

What is all that?

Evidence.

Actually, old phone books.

It's an intimidation tactic
that I learned on TV.

I'm not letting you get kicked off

the basketball without a fight.

We're all here?

Let's begin.

The court is in session.

Lead council for the defense,

Cyrus Goodman, Your Honor.

You've retained counsel, Mr. Kippen?

This is highly unusual.

One moment.

We'll allow it.

Thank you, Your Honors.

T.J., a complaint has been
filed against you for...

"Grand Theft Golf Cart."

(COUGHING) Hearsay.

Why don't you tell us what happened?

Well, I saw Buffy Driscoll limping
across the athletic field

and I wanted to help her.

A testament to his character.

So then I saw Mr. Bag's golf cart...

Unclearly marked...

And, you know, figured he wouldn't
miss it for, like, ten minutes...

Only seven and a half
according to key witnesses...

So I borrowed it to get Buffy
to class on time.

In accordance with the school's

overly-strict attendance policy,

which, I think we can all agree,

is a crime in and of itself.

I think we have everything we need.

We'll go think about this
and we'll get back...

(CYRUS CLEARS HIS THROAT)

Hold on. I'd like to call a witness.

Mr. Goodman, you're showboating.

Thank you for noticing, Your Honor.

I call to the stand...

- myself.
- Oh no.

Mr. Goodman,

where were you at the time
of the alleged incident?

Well, I wasn't there.

But I know that T.J. only
did it to be a good friend.

So you're a witness,

but you didn't see
the crime in question?

I'm a character witness... sir.

Can we speed this up?

I don't think so.

Come in.

- Hey!

What's going on?

We're having our end-of-season party.

But the season hasn't ended yet.

Well, after we get creamed
at our last game,

we may not feel like partying.

So...

As your team captain,

I find that attitude disappointing.

But...

As a human being,
I find cupcakes delicious!

(LAUGHING)

Here.

These look so good.

(SCREAMING, LAUGHING)

Cupcake down! No!

Guess what came in the mail?

I'll return it.

I just wanted to see
how it looked on me.

Uh... okay.

But I meant this.

A postcard from SAVA.

It says they received
Andi's application.

Oh, she did it! She applied!

She's going after her dreams.

More importantly,

I didn't destroy her self-esteem.

Less importantly, but still important.

I wonder why she didn't tell us.

She didn't want us to know.

But we do know, huh?

Yeah, but she doesn't know we know.

Put it back in the mailbox.
We'll let her find it.

We pretend we never saw it?

If she wants us to know,
she'll show it to us.

And if she doesn't?

Well, like I said...

I might have dented her self-esteem,
but I didn't destroy it.

(GIRLS LAUGHING)

Who wants to watch some video
my mom took at our games?

- Yeah!

Seriously, they're hilarious!

- Sure.
- All right.

Oh, this was last week's game.

(ALL GROANING)

I'm so terrible.

Maybe this was a bad idea.

Wait, that wasn't terrible.
That was really close.

In fact, most of your sh*ts are close.

But look, go back.

See? You close your eyes when you sh**t.

Huh.

I never noticed that.

Stop doing that, and I guarantee

your sh**ting percentage will go up.

And Maria...

so, you're great at getting open.

But you never call out
to let your teammates know.

You guys are better than you think.

With or without me.

The Spikes are a good team.

(HESITANT LAUGHTER)

Good enough to win our last game?

Maybe.

you have to fight for it.

Are you ready to fight for it?

All right, show us you playbooks.

One for you...

Will the defendant please rise?

Not you, Mr. Goodman.

I think you know me by now, Your Honor.

We find the defendant, T.J. Kippen...

guilty on all counts.

We demand an appeal.

- Dude, stop fighting.
- I'll never stop.

You did your best.

This part I have to face by myself.

We hereby sentence you to the harshest
punishment allowable by this court.

I'm ready.

Lunchtime detention on Monday.

That's it?

That's the harshest punishment
you're allowed to give?
