- We still haven't found a replacement for Quincy
since he moved.
There's got to be three of us or we can't compete.
- I know, but kids aren't exactly knocking down doors
to be on the Quiz Team.
- We are living in strange times.
- Why don't we let Eddie join? - Ew, no.
All he does is stare at me.
- But he's got a . GPA. - So do I!
And besides, he leaves sweat on everything he touches.
- Well, who else can we get? We need someone.
So if you can't think of anyone then...
- No, you're crazy!
Alright, I'll hit you up. Naw, you crazy, man.
- Uh, we can get Dylan!
I totally forgot he told me he wanted to join.
- He did?!
Look, Dylan is my boy, but he doesn't have a . GPA.
I'm unsure whether he even has a GPA.
- Dylan, I need you to join the Einsteins.
It's my quiz team.
- [laughing]
Why is everybody so crazy today?
Oh, wait, you're serious.
- You don't have to do anything.
Just fill the third spot and stick around
until I can find a better replacement that's not Eddie.
- Sweaty Eddie?
Yeah, good luck with that.
- I thought you said to meet you out front
after school? - Hey, Bethany! How you--
Is that strawberry lotion, 'cause--
- Sorry, I was just talking to Dylan
about joining The Einsteins. - Wow, Dylan.
I didn't take you for the quiz team type.
I think smart boys are pretty cute.
I'll meet you out front, but hurry up.

- Booder, welcome the newest member

- We are one win away from breaking
the school's quiz team win streak.
Are you sure Eddie's not a better option?

a month away?
Well the Potato Palace can't host the meet

Dylan joined Rebecca's quiz team.
- Dylan who? - Me, man!
- [laughing]
Oh, oh this is real? Okay.
- Yeah, I'm a Quizlette. - Quiz-lete.
But, yes, Dylan is an Einstein.
It's not that big of a deal, Mom.
- Yes, it is!
Now I have two little Einsteins under the same roof.
- Aunty Yas, you're pretty into this stuff, huh?
- She used to be an Einstein when she was in school.
- I wasn't team captain like my Rebecca.
- Wait, so they had quiz teams way back then?
- [chuckling] - You're older than me.
- Okay, whatever. Look, look, you remember the time
that big fight broke out because someone stole
the quiz trophy? Remember that?
There was more punches being thrown
than a Bruce Lee movie. [martial arts noises]
- Well, it was my trophy. - [martial arts noises]
- For real? Where was this?
- We won it fair and square but Tiffany couldn't stand it
so she pointed out some old rule
and the judge awarded the Newtons the win
on a technicality.
But I will get my revenge when Rebecca
goes up against the new Newtons and destroys them!
No pressure, honey.
- Well at least it doesn't still bother you, Mama Yas.
- I'm gonna call that little cheater right now
and let her know that the Einsteins are back.
I'm gonna tell that little snobby--
Tiffany, hey girl! Oh my gosh, how are you?!
Ugh, yes, I know!
Way too long, ugh, totally!
[whispers] Set the table.
- Mom's right, we can't lose to the Newtons.
- So, what are you saying?
- I'm saying we're gonna have to let you go
and put sweaty Eddie on the team.
- What?! You can't dump me!
You heard Bethany, she said I was cute.
- First of all, she didn't say that.
And second of all, I'm sorry but I have to do it.
- You can't ruin my chance with Bethany.
- We're one win away from breaking the school's
quiz team's winning streak.
And you want me to risk that so you can try
to date my best friend?
- Yes! Most def.
I'll do whatever it takes. I'll study!
I'll study so hard, answers will be falling out of my brain.
- Really? - Yes!
- Okay. But this is my world, so we're gonna do things my way.

with all the studying you've been doing
for tomorrow's competition.
- Yeah, all the studying. All of it.
- I know this hasn't been easy on you.
But this means more to me than I let people know.
I'm the first black girl to lead the Einsteins.
And I don't wanna let anyone down, you know?
- Yeah, letting someone down would be the worst.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, thanks, bro.
Big day tomorrow. Get your rest.

that this was just all one big game.
- Let's finish our game!
- No, bro! Did you hear Rebecca?
That's the nicest she's ever been to me.
- Yeah, she never calls me "bro".

Seriously, what's with "V" words?

Good luck, Dylan.

Thank you for joining us as we kick off
our Quiz-lete Spring Cup, between two unbeaten teams.
The Newtons. - [clapping]
- And our very own Einsteins! - [crowd cheering and clapping]
- Let's begin! First contestants.
Harkley, Dylan.
- That's my boy! Go, Harkley!
- Go, Dylan!
- You're up.
- What percentage of...
- [buzzer sounding]
- Dylan, your answer?
- Oh um...uh...uh...?
- No.
Newtons, same question.
What percentage of the human body--
- [buzzer sounding] - . % water.
- That is correct! - Yes!
- Dylan, what happened? We covered that.
- I'm sorry, I panicked.
- It's okay, you'll get the next one.
- Next contestants. - [buzzer sounding]
- The Mariana Trench. - Correct!
- YASMINE: [cheering] - [buzzer sounding]
- The neutron. - Correct!
- [buzzer sounding] - Hamlet.
- TEACHER: Correct! - YASMINE: [cheering]
- [buzzer sounding - La Gioconda.
- Correct, again!
- [buzzing]
- Mm. No.
The Newtons are up three points as we enter
our final round.
But first, a quick bathroom break
for anyone who needs it. Me first!
- Dylan, what are you doing?!
You haven't answered one question right.
- Yeah, and if the Newtons answer their final question
correctly, they'll win!
- Yeah, look, I tried.
But have you seen how many pages were in those books?
- Yes, and I've read every single one of them.
You agreed to do this just to impress a girl.
But the quiz team is so much more important to me.
I had a chance to win and to show everyone
that black girls are just as smart as anyone else,
and you've taken that away from me.
What was I thinking trusting you?!
Thanks a lot, Dylan.
- ♪
- Rebecca!
- Hello and welcome back.
If you're just joining us, boy, are you late!
[laughing]
We are in our final round.
It's worth five points, so even with the Newtons up by three,
it's still anyone's game!
Here is your question. Remember, if you get this right,
the Einsteins can't steal and you win.
Name four animals that change colors to blend in
with their surroundings.
- Uh, the squid, the chameleon,
the octopus, and the cuttlefish.
- The squid: correct.
The octopus: correct.
The cuttlefish is correct.
The chameleon is incorrect!
- [crowd gasping]
- What?! Chameleons change colors!
- Indeed they do,
but not to blend in with their surroundings.
Their color change is generally used
for communication and temperature regulation.
- Oh, that is a trick question!
- Yes, ma'am. They are designed that way.
- Ha, ha, ha!
- Einsteins, here is your question.
Remember, if you get this right you can steal the win.
Name four influential scientists who were alive
in the year .
- Ten seconds, Einsteins.
- What did you guys come up with?
- Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, George Washington Carver,
and Einstein.
- Yes! Sorry, sorry.
- Nikola Tesla: correct.
Marie Curie: correct.
George Washington Carver is correct!
And Einstein--[sighs]--is correct!
- [crowd cheering]
- Wait! That shouldn't count!
Einstein is only part of his name.
It should be required that they have to use his full name.
- Well, two of the judges agree with Harkley,
which means no points for the Einsteins.
That makes the winner of this year's Spring Cup--
- Hold on!
- Dylan, what are you doing?
- Do you trust me?
- No!
- I got this.
