:
We have to do what we can to
save the coral reefs.
Now who's with me?
(Clapping)
No one cares about anything
around here.
Aww, cheer up.
(Cheering)
Must be another rally.
Make a wish and vote for
Trish for Spring Queen.
NIKKI: That's what all this
cheering is about?
Spring Queen nominations?
Talk about brainwashing people
in to mindless zombies.
We love Trish.
We love Trish.
We love Tri...
Sorry.
I think it's tragic that
people waste this much time and
energy on a dance.
Guys, I have to show you
something really horrible.
I got my bangs cut.
Ew, those are bad.
If they don't grow out before
the dance, I won't be able to
go.
You can always wear the lemon
hat.
NIKKI: Caitlin, chill.
It's just a stupid dance.
I'm talking about the collapse
of an entire ecosystem and
you're telling me all you care
about is the spring dance?
I got a date this year.
Nice, dude.
I got a new dress.
I'm renting my first tux.
And the after party is at our
place.
Yes, yes, yes.
I've always wanted to host an
after-party.

So Wyatt, who is she?
Her name's Brianna.
Her parents are both shrinks and
she wants to be one too.
She's so cool.
Introduce us before the
dance.
Okay, can we talk about
something other than the dance
please?
Hmm.
I'm chair of the dance committee
this year.
Alright.
Ahem.
Sorry, Nikki but dances are
fun.
You realize this whole Spring
Queen thing is just one big
popularity contest?
Um, yeah.
Of course.
Well I'd rather chew off my
left foot than enter.
Maybe if you ran for Spring
Queen you could actually get
people to pay attention to your
cause.
Yeah because people always
listen to what Spring Queens
have to say.
You do get to give a speech
to the school.
You can speak to them when
they have no where else to go.
It's not the craziest idea
ever.
Yes it is.
I'd do it if I were you.
Oh yes.
No, no, never.
Why can't I just hijack the big
food court screen and give a
speech on it?
Because everyone would leave.
Come on, can you see me as
Spring Queen?
No.
Hey.
Think about it, Nikki, if you
won you could say whatever you
wanted.
And people would be forced to
listen.
It is absolutely k*lling me
to say this but it might
actually work.
Yes.
Nikki's running for Spring
Queen.
Woo.
I want it on record that the
only reason I'm doing this is to
draw attention to the reefs.
Got it?
ALL: Alright.
I don't know why I'm
bothering.
I'll never b*at Trisha.
She's promised to make bikinis
the new gym uniform.
Which I'm not opposed to.
You can do it, Nikki.
You just need a really good
Spring Queen coach.
Me?
But what if I decide to run?
Ahem.
(Scissors snipping)
(Sighing)
Okay, I'll do it.
I'll sacrifice my own dreams for
the coral reef.
Cool.
I'm a friend of the fish.
Thanks, man.
Okay, guys, let's kick spring
dance butt.
Ugh, I don't have a chance.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Uh, care to tell me what
we're doing?
Step number one to winning
Spring Queen.
Be popular.
It's called the "Hey thing."
You have to say "hey" to each
person passing so you can add
them to the list of people you
know.
Remember, make eye contact
first.
Ahh!
Hey!
Okay, you really have to work
on your "Hey thing."
Jude, we've got to find out
where Nikki lies in the polls.
I'm on it.
Hey
Hey
What do you mean the caterer
double booked?
Jonesy, Jenn, this is
Brianna.
Hey.
No, no, don't put me on hold.
(Beeping)
Hey, sorry I'm just stressing
big time.
My spring dance committee is
letting me hire an assistant and
I don't even have time to do
that.
Is it hard for you to give
over some of that control?
Who me?
No, not at all.
I'm the least controlling person
in the world.
(Laughing)
So you're not like nervous
about delegating
responsibilities?
Please, trust me, no one is
more in to handing things off
than me.
Sweet because I could use a
job.
There is no way I'm going to
trust you with something this
important.
Interesting.
What?
I was just wondering where
this need to control comes from.
It's not about control.
It's about him being a slacker.
Hey.
Okay.
Because I'm perfectly fine
not controlling everything.
In fact, Jonesy, you can have
the job.
Nice.
So what do I do?
(Grumbling)
First we need to...
Can you hold that thought?
I hear a cheeseburger calling my
name.
Hey, get back here.
Or take your lunch and we'll
talk later.
Hi handsome.
Ahh.
I have a confession to make.
I am totally crushing on you,
Jonesy.
You are?
I mean, that's cool.
Whoa.
Okay, I'd love to go out with
you, Trisha, but my friends
would k*ll me.
What's one innocent date
going to do?
Oh, you don't know Nikki.
Jonesy.
Please go away.
You're evil.
That is so unfair.
No one ever really gives me a
chance.
But you're running against
Nikki for Spring Queen.
Look at it this way.
If you go out with me, you'll
definitely be distracting me
from my campaign.
I'll consider it a public
service.
Now you're talking.
See you later.
Yes.
Oh I'm in such big trouble.
(Laughing)
We'd have to go with Trisha.
She's got better cleavage.
Anything I can do to change
your minds?
Not unless you can grow
boobs.
Hmm.
Nikki and Trisha both scare
us.
Ah.
Nikki who?
Trisha rocks, man.
Ahh.
, , ...
(Gasping)
Hey.
She came on to me.
See ya later.
Sweetie.
Vote Nikki.
Buddy, you're necking with the
enemy.
I know, okay, but in my
defence she's so hot.
But she's like really mean to
your friends, dude.
Look at it this way.
I'm totally distracting the
enemy from doing her job
properly.
One could even say that I'm
taking one for the team.
Just don't tell the team, okay?
Right.
Maintain a pleasant demeanour
at all times.
This sucks.
I can see this is going to
take some work.
Let's do a drill.
Gee, this lemon on my head sure
feels heavy.
Probably because the lemon
has a greater brain mass than
your head.
Ah ha.
Fail.
But you handed that one to
me.
Nonetheless, you have to be a
lot stronger than that to be
popular.
Okay, I have the results of
our first advance poll.
And?
Females are leaning toward
Trisha by about eight to one.
Guys are nine to one.
(Groaning)
Okay it's time for us to
crank this operation up a notch.
Okay everybody.
Listen up.
I am pleased to present the new
and improved and soon to be
popular, Nikki.
Whoa.
Hoo boy.
Whoa.
Not bad.
Ooh.
I'm gonna...
Nikki, never deter a guy from
appreciating you.
Remember, you need the male
votes too.
Okay, the next hours are
crucial.
We have to come up with the best
campaign give away ever and
Nikki has to continue being
nice.
Hey, I can be nice when I
have to.
Any ideas people?
According to Pavlov,
psychological rewards are
successful in getting people to
do things.
Uh, who are you again?
Oh sorry, this is my
girlfriend, Brianna.
Hey.
Hey
Hey again.
That's it.
We say for every votes a
person brings in, Nikki will do
their homework for a week.
Are you kidding me?
I'd have to clone myself about
five times to do that.
Hey everyone.
I have a big surprise for our
high school.
If you vote for me for Spring
Queen my daddy will donate a
brand new basketball court to
the school.
(Cheering)
Whoa, a basketball court.
And if you vote for Nikki you
get big fat nothing.
I don't have a chance.
There you are.
You didn't book the hall.
Because of you, there's not
going to be a spring dance.
NIKKI: What?
But I have a date this year.
Aww man.
See you on that special
night.
We love Trish.
We love Trish.
We love Trish.
She trumped me with a
basketball court.
It's not my fault you know.
It's Brianna's fault.
Huh?
I knew I should have reminded
Jonesy about all those things
but you kept making me feel like
I was some big control freak.
You are so fired, Jonesy.
You may be displacing your
disappointment with your own
behaviour on to Jonesy.
What?
No, I'm not.
You shouldn't feel bad, Jen.
Everyone has their weaknesses.
I am not weak.
Sorry, man.
Jonesy, you're hired again.
Awesome.
Your first job is to find
another site for the dance.
Good luck.
The only place left is the food
court.
A spring dance in the food
court?
Hey, why not?
No way.
There's no where else to do
it.
It is better than nothing.
Fine, we'll do it.
Yay!
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
Vote for Nikki.
Hey.
Vote for Nikki.
Hey.
Hey.
Vote for Nikki.
With your new poise,
popularity and the giveaways,
you're sure to give Trisha a run
for her money.
JONESY: Hey, babe.
Ahh.
Ah.
We have to stop doing this.
I can't really remember why at
the moment.
Jonesy, I don't want to come
between you and your friends.
You don't?
No, I say let the best woman
be queen.
I have to say I did love the
giveaways.
What?
How do you know about those?
Duh, they handed them out in
the food court earlier.
How did you think of them,
they are so smart.
Oh, you know, just tried to
think of something no one wanted
to do like homework and told
everyone that Nikki would do it
for them.
You are such a genius.
(Kissing noises)
(Laughing)
Okay, dudes, Nikki's up with
female voters.
Well done, Nikki.
And the guys like you much
more with your new hairdo.
Unbelievable.
Time for our awesome
giveaways.
Everyone, listen up.
If you vote for me for Spring
Queen, Darwin and Darth will do
your homework for a week.
(Cheering)
Good idea.
Jude, that's our idea.
They totally stole it.
Oh right.
How did they find out?
I'm sure it was underhanded.
Oh, sore losers are sulking.
It was a great idea, by the way,
thanks.
Oh that's it.
Let me at her.
No, we can't afford your skin
to break out from stress.
Maybe while we're waiting for
everyone to show up, you can
analyze me.
Wyatt, I can't.
It's a conflict.
Oh come on, I can take it.
Wyatt, have you seen Jonesy?
He didn't book the photographer.
(Gasping)
Trisha, it's over.
I can't lie to my friends
anymore.
(Sobbing)
Whoa.
I didn't know you'd take it so
hard.
I can still come to those
parties right?
Yeah.
If you could just do me one last
little favour.
Sure, what is it?
I was hoping you could
convince Nikki to drop out of
the race.
Why would I do that?
Well it looks like for some
silly reason she might actually
come close to winning, which is
ridiculous.
She doesn't really want to be
queen anyway.
Come on, Jonesy.
I'll let you have the first
dance with me.
What?
You've been using me all along
haven't you?
You are evil.
(Kissing)
(Camera snapping)
JEN: Happy spring dance.
Ah!
Wait until I show Nikki this.
Come on, I can take it.
CAITLIN: Hi guys.
Hey, you guys look great.
Thanks.
I still can't believe Trisha
stole our giveaways.
Hey, Brianna can't give me a
psycho evaluation because I'm
her boyfriend.
Oh do me.
But I'm not a professional,
yet.
Please?
Oh okay.
Let me see.
Caitlin, I think you're really
kind and open-hearted to help
your friend Nikki.
Aww, that's sweet.
But you're also kind of
shallow and a sucker for other
people's approval.
But you still like me, right?
Isn't she great?
Oh yeah, she's a cool drink
of water.
Poise, hello.
Nikki, I think maybe you use
your sarcasm as a defence
mechanism to avoid getting too
close to people.
Yeah right.
You're not as secure as you'd
like people to think.
You're afraid to be true to
yourself.
Well, that's so bogus.
Is that why you're all
dressed up like Trisha?
Told you she was great.
We better get going.
Wait, Jen but it didn't mean
anything.
That's because you're a
snake.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Just that Jonesy bailed on
all his dance responsibilities
so he could swap spit with enemy
number one.
Oh.
NIKKI: It was you.
You told Trisha about our
giveaways.
What?
you guys already announced them
in the food court.
Nice try, Jonesy.
Trisha scooped us before we had
a chance to do it.
How could you?
But it's not...
Nikki, don't let it upset
you.
Your mascara will run.
This place is like weirdly
familiar.
I broke it off with Trish.
You believe me, right, Bro?
I believe you, Bro
You think Nikki has a chance
of winning?
Caitlin is a master at
transforming people.
However there's a better chance
of a monkey jumping out of my
butt.
Okay, erase all negative
thoughts like Jonesy and Trisha
making out.
Caitlin, please, I'm so over
it.
Sorry, just a couple
finishing touches.
I don't think I can do this.
Oh come on.
You think Trisha doesn't have a
little help?
No, this.
Spring Queen, everything, I
can't do it.
But you're popular now.
People really like you.
No, they like the new me
which is really you.
Oh, I see what's happening
here.
You're thinking about what
Brianna said.
But come on, she said I was
shallow.
How accurate can she be?
I'll meet you out there,
okay?
Sure.
You look great.
(Gasping)
You just don't get it, do you
Jonesy.
What?
She gave me bucks to write
her Spring Queen speech.
You are so fired.
Great dance, huh guys?
Great.
Yeah right.
What's wrong?
Jen was just being her usual
control freaky self.
Jonesy, do you chase girls to
fill some void in your life?
Yes.
I think you use your overly
macho attitude to hide the fact
that you're uncomfortable around
women.
Now that is an analysis I
agree with.
Just look what she's wearing.
(Laughing)
Where's Nikki?
It's speech time.
I don't know.
Go on, I'll find her.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Your first spring queen
candidate, Trisha.
(Cheering)
I just have to say that you'd
be crazy to pick someone like
Nikki over me.
I mean she doesn't even wear
skirts.
(Gasping)
And no one at the Khaki Barn
likes working with her and okay,
she might be all prettied up
tonight, but do you really want
some grumpy unstylish girl
representing your school?
I don't.
I've been dreaming about this
forever and Nikki hasn't so vote
for Trish.
Thanks.
Wow, that was a really
unpleasant speech.
Now for our next candidate,
Nikki.
Hello?
Nikki?
NIKKI: Make way.
Don't get your tidies in a
twist.
I'm here.
Hi, so the truth is, Trisha's
right.
I don't really care about being
the Spring Queen.
I just wanted to get your
attention and take this
opportunity to tell you:
The coral reefs are being
wrecked by pollution.
And it's really important that
we do something now.
So if you want to help, our
environmental club would love to
have you.
That's it.
Oh and you don't have to vote
for me but if you do, I'm still
not going to dance in stupid
heels.
This is me.
Take it or leave it.
Thanks.
BOY: We love Trish.
(Chortling)
Oh and I'll do your homework
for a week.
(Cheering)
Ladies and gentlemen.
The judge and judgettes have
tallied your votes and your new
Spring Queen is Nikki.
(Cheering)
Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, Nikki,
Nikki, Nikki, Nikki...
Now the Spring Queen gets to
pick her king for the spotlight
dance.
Hey, I know you think of me
as more of a jester than a king
but I'd be honoured.
(Clapping)
Sorry, Caitlin.
I kind of blew all your training
out of the water there.
Are you kidding, Nikki?
That was so great.
I am so proud of you.
Thanks.
Jonesy, you suck.
What was that all about?
She wanted me to talk you out
of running.
So I dumped her.
You did?
Wow, thanks.
Plus, for the record, you're
way hotter.
