(MUSIC PLAYING)
BOY: I fly solo.
Trust me.
I am not a team player.
I am not an athlete.
I don't even know
how to swim,
which is
just one of the sources
of ridicule I've gotten
since freshman year
and the one
that the golden boys
of Saint Raymond's swimming
team are enjoying today.
That's Matt Prylek,
our school's best swimmer
and my worst nightmare.
And that's me, Tommy Dolen,
the one supplying
all their laughs.
My dad tried to teach me
to swim once
with the same warmth
that's going on here,
but that didn't work out
so well either.
Welcome back
to a new school year.
Now, if anyone had told me
in this moment
that, in less than a month,
I would develop
the most unlikely friendship,
I would have said they
swallowed way too much water.

like this kid who's been bumming
coinage here the last few days.

Are you kidding?
They'll k*ll me.
I don't mean your teachers
or your principal.
I'll talk to the boys.
Maybe they just want
to pal around.
They didn't know
you can't swim.
(LAUGHS)
Of course they knew, all right?
Today was the worst,
but it's not just today.
It's every day.
The names, texts,
online humiliation,
taking shots,
stealing lunches.
Why didn't you tell me?
I was afraid you'd invite
them over for Sunday dinner.
I could make braciole.
They'd like that.
Table seven needs
their check.
Listen. Just think.
If you all just got
together and talked...
(TV) This week, we're
announcing the finalists
for our Teenage
Cooking Contest
right here
on Mealtime Network,
where the winner
will walk off
with her or his
own TV show,
plus a special
grand prize
I'll be revealing
a little later.
I already told you,
all right?
I'm not joining
any contest.
It's past
the deadline.
Should have.
Could have won.
Well, it's too late now,
all right,
and that's
just what I want,
give them more excuses.
(ENTRY BELL RINGS)
I'll finish up here.
Go wait
on the new customer.
Prylek!
I'm still
hoping to hear
you get life
imprisonment one day,
but I think this'd
do for a start.
Her family just
moved here from Kansas.
She goes to your school.
She's a blogger,
and she explained to me
what that was.
I'll take care
of tables two and four.
Here.
You take this to Sarah.
When are you gonna learn you don't
have to do everything alone?
Just talk to her
for just a minute.
Our special added prize
will be $50,000,
and today we're announcing
our third contestant,
and this one's
a local boy,
Saint Raymond's own
Tommy Dolen!
(PLATES CLATTER)
(GASPS)
Thanks, Rip. Only
three more contestants
left to be announced.
Then tune in next week...
I'm sorry.
when all 16 square off
to compete...
I-I'm sorry.
I'm really, really sorry.
...and $50,000.
(TELEPHONE LINE RINGING)
MATT: You told Abby
about the job.
You helped her
move up here.
She'll talk
to her boss.
MAN: Think so?
She still
isn't picking up.
I'll fix this
in the morning,
moron.
Mangia, bello!
I know I should
have told you
I was taking your pizzelles
down to the TV station
and entering you
in that contest.
I can't talk on TV,
all right?
Can you please
just call them
and tell them that
I can't do it, all right?
I'm sorry. I have to go
to Ned's before school.
Yeah, but I think--
I can't.
I just can't, all right, Gran?
(KISS)
I love you. Bye.
Bye.
Matty! Matty!
Your alarm clock
broken?
Five minutes,
dressed and out.
TOMMY: Once a month,
I go to pay rent
to the landlord
of the pizzeria, Ned Foley.
Hey, Dolen!
You brain-dead?
Like I was saying,
every month
I go to Ned Foley's,
the landlord
of Gran's pizzeria,
to pay the rent,
but who knew today's visit
would trigger something
completely unexpected?
(TELEPHONE LINE RINGING)
I'll see her
when she shows up.
(NED LAUGHS)
Sold it all, and I want you
to level the entire block.
Now, the one problem's
gonna be
the old lady that runs
the pizza place.
She's been there
since the w*r of 1812,
and she doesn't get that the
chain places are k*lling her.
My grandfather put this
stupid clause in her lease.
I really hope
she doesn't remember it,
because I am screwed
if she does.
(LAUGHS)
Not that it'll help,
though.
Don't think her and
her goofy grandson
have a dime
to their names.
Look, if she's
gonna be a problem,
I may need you to help me
out around this, all right?
Just like you did
with the pub.
Then not only will I give
the demolition job to you,
I will also recommend
you to the buyer
to build his brand-new--
(RATTLES)
Oh.
Hold on a second.
Yeah,
no problem.
Did you withdraw me
from the contest yet?
Okay, good.
Don't, all right?
I'll see you later.
TOMMY: I usually try
to stay under the radar,
but I gotta do this
for Gran, you know,
even if it makes things
worse at school.
When I was curled up on that
pool deck choking up water,
Matt Prylek was bragging
to all his buddies
about how his brother helped
his ex-girlfriend Abby
score a job as the Assistant
Principal's new secretary.
Prylek was
dangerous enough before.
Now he's got a skeleton key
to the school.
As per our new
zero-tolerance policy,
effective immediately,
you are suspended
from all extracurricular
activities.
What?
That's total bull.
And any infraction
of any school rules
could result
in expulsion
and home schooling
until June.
Uh, Ms. Sykes,
it's Matty's
senior year.
All the assistant coaches
from--from the colleges
he wants to get into can
finally come see him, so...
Mr. Prylek,
I'm aware of Matthew's--
Kyle, please.
It so means
Matty's whole life.
Don't let
one stupid...
MATT: Reject wreck
my whole career.
Pardon?
Oh, you are not
helping yourself.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Come in, please.
Oh, sorry.
I didn't realize
you were still
in the meeting.
Uh, Coach Nadley called,
and I reconfirmed
your anti-bullying campaign
meeting with the board for 11:00.
Sorry to bother you.
No.
Thanks, Abby.
Uh-huh.
Matthew...
I'll reduce
your suspension...
to a one-month
period if you'll--
One month?
Are you out--
What do I
have to do?
People
look up to you.
Stop all the bullying
immediately.
If you become an
anti-bullying role model
within 30 days,
I will restore
all your extracurricular
activities.
You mean like--
like doing what?
I mean like
for the next month,
go out of your way
to be kind to the kids
who are bullied
at this school,
starting
with Tommy Dolen.
Done.
Done.
Okay.
Go. Be nice.
Be kind. Get out.
(LAUGHING)
Okay, you got that one.
(BOYS LAUGHING)
Dolen! My mom says
you're gonna be
a big TV star.
Bad enough this place
pumped money into Home Ec
which should have
gone to athletics--
Yeah. Now you're gonna
make us all look like--
Joe! Knock it off!
But you were the one who
planted the seed in her head.
How about
an espresso?
Kyle, I thought
I said I need to--
Come on.
It's just coffee.
A cooking show, Dolen?
Isn't that the kid whose
grandma runs the pizza joint?
Uh, yeah.
He's just been picked
to be on a TV
cooking contest.
The teachers were
talking about it.
If he wins, he gets his
own show and $50,000.
KYLE: We're a team.
Think about it.
You volunteer
to do this,
and Sykes may lift
your suspension
sooner than the end
of the month.
I got nailed
'cause of that loser.
Not having
the brains
to see a whole new
security system
is what
got you nailed.
So now I gotta help him
win 50 grand?
No! You just--
You just have to appear
to be helping.
Once he says yes,
then we'll work
on sabotaging
this whole thing.
So I can get expelled?
We'll do it in a way that
it won't stick to you.
You'll see. It'll be fine.
How?
Just leave that to me.
Once we're in--
Wait.
He should pay for all
the trouble he's caused me,
but what's
in this for you?
The biggest job
I ever had
and helping out
my bro.
I don't think there's this
many rules to pick a Pope.
What? That's so stupid.
No, it makes sense to me.
You can't do this
on your own.
You have to have a team.
A team? I don't need
a team, all right?
I cook alone.
Besides, where am I
gonna find two--
Friends?
I'm sorry, bello,
but, uh, I don't qualify
as one of your peers.
You know, I'm not
gonna be around forever.
Maybe this is a good chance
for you to branch out.
Who wants to?
If I didn't have to--
(DOORBELL RINGS)
(DOORBELL RINGS)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
This contest
sounds awesome,
and I know I was
totally out of line
and wrong but--
about the pool and today.
Sorry, man.
I know I may have
hassled you a little, but--
Yeah, only three years.
So when's this whole
contest thing over?
F-Four weeks, but--
That's perfect.
You need a bodyguard
so, that way, no one--
Yeah, so no one drowns me or
tries to beat my face in?
With me around, no one will
even give you any trouble.
Why? Do you want
exclusive dibs?
Look, I don't know what
you're up to, Prylek,
but this is my house,
all right?
This is the only place
where I can come
to be without people
like you--
Ciao, ragazzo.
I'm Tommy's grandmother.
You like pizzelles?
I would love one.
Wow.
Hi. I'm Matt.
Oh, you're Matt.
Yeah.
Come on in the kitchen.
Thank you.
Mmm, these are
really good.
Tommy made them.
Oh, yeah?

Great dinner
last night, T!
Sheesh, man,
you can cook!
And that Gran of yours,
she's off the hook.
I wouldn't take
any bets on that.
Anybody
bother you today?
Not till 10 seconds ago.
Have you been
thinking about
what we were
talking about?
Yeah, I don't--
don't want a bodyguard.
Not that.
You've already got one.
I was talking about having
me join your posse.
Your Gran told me how you
need a cooking crew,
and I have made some
pretty mean barbecue--
Yo, Julia Childish!
What's up?
Told you
to back off, Joe.
Hey, how about
you and I take a walk
down to that nice new TV
station of yours, huh?
I hear it's only
an eight-story drop.
Ohh!
(STUDENTS GASP)
Ohh!
Let's roll, T.
(COUGHS)
Off the team? Why?
Well, well,
the diving instructor,
he--he said that I need to take
a month off of swimming, so--
You know, 'cause
I sprained my hand.
It has to do with the force
of how you hit the water.
You just got--
Diving and swimming,
you gotta protect
the hand, you know.
Then why did you hit--
You know what?
Next time,
I'll knee him one.
Matt and I may

They c--They can't
even turn up a flame.
You want to bet?
I know these two guys.
They're just
not here yet.
They're the only ones close
to being in my league.
Where was this side of
you out in the hallway?
I know my way
around the kitchen.
When I'm done with you,
there won't be
a room in the house
you've missed.
(LAUGHS)
That's one.
He's really good,
but he's quiet,
you know, shy,
keeps to himself.
Haven't heard a word
from him all last year.
Up until yesterday, I could
have said the same thing
about somebody else
around here.
Maybe he can't talk.
Okay, I got this.
Ahem!
Hi. My name is Matt,
and I don't sign.
(GIRL LAUGHS)
Do you have
a pen and paper?
I can write a note.
Oh. Oh, uh,
let's go outside
into the hallway
so we can talk--
talk--talking.
(AUSTRALIAN ACCENT)
No worries.
You're starting to...
embarrass yourself, mate.
(GIGGLES)
And then we win
the contest.
So, uh,
are you on board?
I don't...
know about...
being on TV.
What if...
I have...
to speak?
All the...
guys in
my old school...
always
made fun of--
Anyone tries bullying you,
and they're gonna
get their abs kicked in.
But, hey, girls
must love the accent.
Am I right?
(LAUGHS)
Yeah.
The fact that I'm...
cute as a cloud...
doesn't hurt
either, but--
And that's what's
so great about this, too.
I mean, we get to make
all these amazing dishes,
and we don't have to talk
or deal with anybody else.
There's the other one,
Bobby Butler.
We have to go
into class, though.
Bobby Butler,
Matt Prylek.
You're
on our squad now.
My boys and I are
gonna make you a TV star.
Now don't
be late for class.

You're fired.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Come on. Come on.

Bro, I-I'm trying

gonna happen overnight,
but I am trying.
Can't you give me

See you guys later.
This is totally

Let's go meet

Oh, we'd be happy

It's no trouble.
Tommy's gonna be the star of the show.
Is he?
And then later,
we're gonna have a little

so meet us here

Let's go.
We're very excited

but now I just heard your buddies
say you were suspended, so...
Well, no, I really wanted
to help you on the contest,
and I thought if--if you
knew that I'd been suspended
for harassing you, you might--
might think...
I might think what?
That I wasn't
being real
or else I was
pulling some crap.
Matt Prylek
pulling crap?
I got that spice thing
you wanted.
Saffron.
I said saffron,
saffron
from a spice shop.
This is--This is paprika
from a warehouse.
Well, well...
they're both red.
Why are you really
doing all this?
I feel horrible
about the pool
and assembly
and last year.
I was hoping
that we could work
on the contest
together and then...
maybe the school's
anti-bullying project?
Hey, Sarah.
What are you--
What are you doing here?
Respectfully whispering.
It's just some research
for a blog I'm writing.
In the cooking area?
It's a hot topic
all over town.
Where are all
your adoring fans?
I, uh--I--
You know,
couldn't...
find the one
I was looking for,
so, uh, I came here,
and it worked.
She found me.
Well, she doesn't have time
to bask in the glow
of your spotlight.
Too busy, uh, reporting
on pop culture, huh?
Well, it doesn't come
with a TV show,
but someone
should hold a mirror
to the narcissism
of society.
You know, feeding people
isn't such a selfish thing.
And feeding your ego publicly
isn't such a selfless one.
MATT: Eye contact.
GRAN: Just picture
your audience...
Um...
Are you okay?
Um, oh, yeah, yeah.
You know--
You know, but people--
people do things
for all kind
of reasons, right?
You know,
reasons other people
may not even
know about, so...
Right.
And even if I was
doing this for me,
I don't get
much props
from others around
here anyway, so...
(SCOFFS)
Could you say
three sentences in a row
without "I"
or "me" in them?
Uh, would that make you
want to spend more
than 30 seconds with me?
(LAUGHS)
There you go again.
No. I--
Nah, I was just--
I was just wondering
if you want to--
Shh!
(SIGHS)
Chicks.
You spent what
on saffron?
Do you want him
to think I'm sincere?
That's a whole day,
both jobs.
I'd better get
my money's worth.
This Friday night's
the one...
when you
blow the contest.
He must totally
trust you by now.
I wouldn't say totally.
Besides, the coach
just left me a message.
He wants to see me
in the morning.
This might
already be over.
Do you have a world map
that shows the picture
of you in the center?
You made a commitment,
so make sure Dolen
trusts you by Friday.
Again, how am I supposed to pull
this off without getting caught?
Well, what do you guys
have planned
for Friday night's
competition?
Each team is doing
a different culture's food,
and Tommy hasn't
picked out our culture yet.
Well, the minute
he does, let me know,
and I'll tell you
how to screw it up.
I'm pretty sure I can
figure that out on my own.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, because you've
done so well thinking
for yourself so far.
Let me do the thinking
for the both of us,
all right,
boy brainless?
COACH: Two top teams?
U of Texas and UC.
Which one?
Well, you're gonna
have to guess, boy.
Oh, my God. When?
Yeah, today.
But, I--
And then I had to tell 'em
that you were suspended,
and he decided
to pass
on a potential
disciplinary risk.
You're batting
.500, Matt.
You better figure out
a way to get reinstated.
Matt. Matt.
Matt.
Man,
thanks for the--
Thanks for
the saff--
(RUNNING FOOTSTEPS)
All right,
diversion excursion.
It's time
to take care of Matt
and put Dolen out of
commission at the same time.

other witnesses.

handle it appropriately.

(OIL POURS)
He told her
he startled you
and your reaction
was just a reflex.
Tommy, I'll make
it up to you by--
(GASPING) Ow.
TOMMY:
Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.
Don't try to move.
Who would...
leave spilled
olive oil?
You okay?
Ow.
(SHOWER RUNNING)
What's wrong with you?
You trying to get me
out of here?
I'm trying to help you!
It wasn't meant for that runt.
It was for Dolen.
And how is that
supposed to help?
He'd be out
of the contest.
Your alibi is that
you were with Sykes.
It still worked out
good, though.
Look, Team Thomasina
needs three guys, right?
All right, well, I heard the
little pipsqueak broke his arm.
Now you become part
of the onstage action,
and you'll have
a much better chance
of blowing
this party apart.
TOMMY:
No, wait. He's crazy.
He doesn't know
what he's doing,
and this is how he wants
to make things up to me?
He's been
a big help so far.
Yeah, and why?
I mean,
I don't trust him.
First he changes from
sadist to saint overnight.
And he's done a lot
to become your friend.
But for what?
Maybe he didn't mean
to do what he did
to me today,
but, Grandma,
I wouldn't be surprised
if he greased the floor in Home
Ec just to get on the team.
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, bello.
I'm getting so close,
Grandma.
You were all
doing beautifully.
Suppose I do let him
on the team and we lose?
Teams lose every day.
(SIGHS)
This isn't about a team.
It's about winning
this thing so--
I-It's about winning,
all right?
It's not about making friends
or taking in a stray.
Well, it would seem to me
that a good athlete
would be motivated
to win, too,
don't you think?
(GROANS)
MATT: So Abby
finally agreed
to have dinner with you
after eight years?
KYLE: Seven.
Shut up. Stay on point.
Don't forget
to let me know
as soon
as Dolen tells you.
Got my own idea
about Friday night.
Buena suera, granya!
Ciao, ragazzo! I got it.
This Friday, Italiano!
We'll do an entire
Italian feast.
Everything from
ribolletto to pignoli.
(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
You gotta teach me how to
speak Italian, Gran, prego!
Women love guys
who talk foreign.
Not always.
Look, I want
to learn everything,
including how
to make some wine.
Check it.

I could wash them
a 16th time.
All right.
All right.
Okay.
Aw, man, we should
call it a night.
It's almost 11:00.
Well, I figured
since we were off
for the teachers
meeting tomorrow,
maybe I could spend the night
here i-if that's okay.
Uh, yeah, sure.
We can keep working.
My, uh, dad had
some old sleeping bags
up in the hall

All right.
(CLATTERS)
Yeah.
(TIMER DINGS)
Ah, oops. Um...
the oven, man.
It's time.
Okay, okay.
You got this.
All right.
Here we go.
No, dude,

Right. Right.
(OVERLAPPING CONVERSATIONS)
I haven't been in a
kitchen cooking since...
ever.
It's different than
grilling in a backyard.
Don't--Don't you miss your
friends, uh, from swimming?
Ever wonder why, when the
moonlight is so bright,
you just forget all the other
crap that's gone down?
No, but I
was wondering--
I don't understand
why you're such a--
I don't know.
Why you flipped the switch so fast.
I--I told you. The pool
and then all the other...
Yeah, but, I mean, why do
it in the first place?
Why spend
so much time--
I mean,
it's just not you.
People expect you
to be a certain way.
They laugh if you are.
They laugh at you
if you're not.
And i-it's like school
and the whole town.
You have to fit
the cookie mold.
I guess I just
wanted to...
To belong?
Yeah, I get that.
T...
I really am sorry
about everything.
Please know that.
That moonlight
is pretty bright.
Night, buddy.
Night...
buddy.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(TELEPHONE LINE RINGS)
Hey, it's Matt.
Leave a message.
All right,
look, shut up.
Look, it's okay.
It's set up for Italian.
And then
me and Matt
will be making the
main course together.
Braciole.
MATT: Bobby,
you wait here.
Tommy, Philip,
follow me.
Ladies, ladies,
I--I realize
we got off
to a bad start,
but we're
really good guys.
And we were just
talking to ourselves.
"How can we patch things up
with those beautiful cousins?"
And we thought--
we thought, food, food!
So we want
to cook you a meal and--
with a special menu that
we, uh, just created
to show our true
intentions with you.
(STOMPING)
No! No, no, no, no.
We don't think
of you like that!
No, no, no, I mean, we
do, but just not like--
Just shut up
before--
(WINCES)
BOBBY: Anya, Inna, Lada,
Someday
when I finally...
mature,
I know I'll treat women
much more respectfully
than other guys do.
Ladies, would you please
wait for me outside?
You can't hear what I have
to say to these three.
(ENTRY BELL RINGS)
Dudes,
you make this so easy.
If I'm going to...
hang out with you...
I'm definitely...
gonna need
more stamina.
Okay, Italian.
This is what
you're gonna do.
Actually, Tommy
changed things up.
Cooking an Italian meal
on Friday's show could be...
misinterpreted.
Then what's the new--
You know, no, no.
I gotta go,
and I gotta get changed.
No! Tell me!
A luau.
What happened
to your face?
Did you get
in a fight?
I hope
he looks worse.
Talks like a girl now.
TOMMY: My face?
Nothing, okay?
Actually, um,
I took on 50 guys at school that
wanted to ask you out, so...
Uh-huh.
Ms. Sykes said that
you and Matt Prylek
are working together
on the school's
anti-bullying
campaign?
(LAUGHS) You two
make a curious team.
Yeah, tell me about it.
I hear you two have
quite a history.
But it could make
an interesting article.
How about I interview you two
together for the school blog?
How about you do it
at my place tomorrow night?
Me and Gran
are having Matt over.
How about I do it next
Monday between classes?
I don't get a good
vibe from your buddy,
and I would prefer to keep
my time with him short.
We can always do
my part of the interview
over lunch, say, Friday?
I think
we'd be distracted
when you get mobbed
by your groupies.

Before,
the only times
I was ever
in the kitchen cooking
were to help my mom.
She taught me
how to make this.
In Philly, I was
overweight big time,
so she got me
into swimming,
always said
I'd make the Olympics.
I've never
forgotten that,
never let anything
hold me back.
That's what you gotta do
with this contest, T.
Just gotta keep
pushing forward...
no matter what.
Looks great.
DENNIS: Thanks, Rip!
We thought
we'd highlight
the simple British cuisine
of an earlier age.
I feel so blessed
to wear these rags
a-and dress like my
impoverished teammates.
There are no words.
(LAUGHS)
(APPLAUSE)
RIP: Thank you,
Team Dennis!
Ladies and gentlemen,
I want you to now
enter the Chunnel
with me as we leave
the United Kingdom...
Whoa!
and we head to France with
our favorite mademoiselles.
(APPLAUSE)
Ou est le mademoiselles?
My foot.
I think it's broken.
Mademoiselles?
We can help you up.
Mademoiselles?
What are you doing?
Your cue to come out was when
Team Dennis left the stage.
You're late. Let's go.
I'm so sorry!
Thank you!
According to contest rules,
if you're ever late
for a second entrance,
you're out!
Will, that's terrible!
What are you giving them the
heads-up for, you idiot?
Get me a latte. Go.
Kyle, it's Matt.
Where are you?
Thanks, Bartosh cousins.
And next up for tonight,
Team Tommy.
(APPLAUSE)
ANNOUNCER:
Don't touch that remote.
Team Tommy
will be right back.
Matt's gonna
double over in pain.
The pig'll go flying,
hit the ground.
Contest over.
Matty's not busted.
Chef Girl-ar-dee
finished.
Pizza joint leveled.
And we're back
in 3, 2, 1.
(APPLAUSE)
(GROANS)
(AUDIENCE GASPS)
(APPLAUSE)
RIP: Whew! Somebody sure
turned up the heat
at the Mealtime Network
kitchen with that one!
Something funny?
Uh, need
to hit the head.
I'll--I'll meet you guys
in the parking lot?
RIP: We'll be right back
with the conclusion
of this week's
"Teen Chef" episode
right after
this commercial break.
Stay right where you are.
And Team Tommy wins
again, thanks to you.
It was instinct.
For a second, I thought
it was all over,
but you surprised me.
Nice save.
Congratulations.
Dinner's on me tonight.
Can I invite my teammates
to come too?
Sure.
You want to catch those
guys before they leave?
Sure.
(COUGHS)
Don't ever do anything
like that again.
Walk home.
ABBY: I was so nervous
for a second.
TOMMY: So was I.
Oh, me, too.
Oh, hey, um, Philip and
Bobby already left,
but Tommy and his grandmother
would love to join us.
W-We'll have to take
a rain check.
Matty and Joe decided
to go for burgers.
It's amazing how much Matt's
changed in such a short time.
Well, I've been
trying to coach him.
It's not easy raising
a teenager all alone.
But you know that.
By the way,
love your pizza.
Best in town.
(CRYING)
(TELEPHONE LINE RINGS)
Hey.
JOE: Hey.
Feels like I'm going behind his
back talking to you like this.
No!
He needs perspective!
This morning,
I heard him tell Dolen
he wanted them to take a
drive to Hillview later.
What?
Can you believe it?
He's been acting
so weird lately.
Call him. Tell him
you want to work out.
Stall him
until I get there.
Then while
I distract him,
I need you to plant a
little device in his bag.
No, man, that's so---
Hey, do you want things to
get back to normal or not?
(HANGS UP)
Hey, Matty.
Look, I know you're--
Joey.
Hey, will you
give us a sec?
I want
to talk to Matty.
Well, you better make it quick,
'cause I'm meeting up with Tommy
after my workout,
and I need your car.
I'll wait in there.
Well, what do you want?
KYLE: Dad always said
k*ll each other in fun,
but don't raise
your hands
to your brothers
even once in anger.
I screwed up.
I'll do better
at keeping things under
control from now on.
We moved up here
after the fire
in Philly.
Some cheap
electrical wiring.
Kyle had taken me
camping that weekend.
People assume that we
lost our parents
and our little brother
Eddie in the fire,
but Mom made it out.
She couldn't
handle it, though,
so we moved her
up here.
And then Kyle moved us
to Saint Raymond
so we could be nearby.
I come up to see her
whenever I can.
TOMMY: Can I, uh--
I mean, would you like me
to come in with you?
No, but next time,
though.
Thanks.
Thanks.
(GIGGLES)
Looks hot.
Oh, thanks.
(GIGGLES)
You already
apologized for it.
I don't want there to be
any weirdness between us.
Bro, can you imagine living
like this every day?
We can once
I close this deal.
Kyle, I don't want
to do this anymore.
You're still mad at me?
No. Tommy and I
are friends now.
And these past few weeks
not pushing
anybody around,
I like it.
Plus the whole school
bullying campaign?
You can still be
Mr. Anti-bullying guy,
and you can still be friends
with Dolen if you want.
He'll never know you were
the one that screwed him--
No.
You want college,
swimming career,
incredible future?
Got it.
I would
have liked that, too,
but right
after high school,
I had some instant
grown-up responsibilities.
I just can't make
the connection.
I mean, Matt was
being weird up there
because he wasn't
feeling well.
But he kept glancing
up at his brother
the whole time
he was on the stage.
'Cause he was sick,
you know,
the same way you'd look for your
parents or I'd look for Gran.
I mean, there's really
no big mystery or drama.
Then tell me
how Tommy losing helps.
I'm not sure I can
trust you with that.
How am I supposed
to decide if I don't know?
There's no decision
to make!
Matty, you and I have
been on the same team
since the day
you were born.
How do I know I'm
not gonna get caught?
If that happened--
If I get this gig,
college won't matter.
We'll be set.
Yo, Kyle.
It was really weird,
almost like--
Do I detect
concern for me--
um, someone
at this table?
I tried.
We're gonna do it
the other way.
What's the big rush?
You'd better
get in there.
(LAUGHTER)
Hey, come on.
Play it again!
Play it. Do it.
Let's hear it! Come on!
Play it again, dude.
MATT: ...couldn't handle it,
though, so...
(LAUGHTER)
we moved her up here,
and Kyle moved us to Saint
Raymond so we could be nearby.
I come up to see her
whenever I can.
This lady's nuts.
Fine. Don't believe me,
but I'm telling you,
steer clear.
He just
found out he lost
his dream college
opportunity because
of his suspension,
and he blames you.
Matt and I are friends.
You don't get it.
Your whole friendship
has been a joke.
He laughs at you
behind your back.
The joke's over.
Stay away, man.
Hey.
I was--was running late.
Sprinted all the way here,
and I, uh--
I tripped.
Okay.
Are you all right?
Will be
in two minutes.
Matt, you do
anything to him now,
and you're gonna
get expelled.
Look,
keep a low profile.
Take care of him
Friday night
in the contest
like you were planning to.
But he's--
Look, next week,
we'll go out.
We'll get some ski masks
and teach him a lesson
he'll never forget.
Hey, are we still on to
meet outside the library?
Actually, I'm sorry.
Now's just not the time,
all right?
Oh, look. There's
your best friend now.
I-I'm sorry.
KYLE: Thanks.
Using my place
would have been awkward.
No, nobody will.
Not even if they
knew who owned it.
No. No,
he'll be much
more cooperative now.
Besides,
I'm running another plan
on a parallel track
just in case.
Yeah, gotta go. Later.
Here it is. There are
three teams left.
We'll help you get rid
of those girls tomorrow,
and you be ready to do a
little something for us
if we should need it.
Like what?
Like something that'll guarantee
you win this contest.
Sweet. But they have
all these strict rules,
and if I get caught
shafting anyone, I'll be--
(LAUGHTER)
(SPLASH)

(GROANING, APPLAUSE)
And while
Team Tommy's performance
was way off tonight,
they have still earned enough
points from previous episodes
to make it into tomorrow's
final showdown.
Tommy, Philip,
get that spark back.
Matt was the only one
who kept his cool
and kept your team
alive tonight.
Poor kid.
He did his best
to help.
Hey, I should go spend
some time with him.
I'll call you
in the morning.
Okay.
Matt, thanks for keeping
things going tonight.
Uh, I was thinking
maybe we could
all go back to my place, you
know, and practice for...
Hanging with
friends tonight.
(DOOR SLAMS)
(MUSIC PLAYING)
What are you
still doing here?
You...
said we were
going to--
All right,
well, I changed my mind.
We should strategize.
Do you want to be
team captain?
Do you?
We just had
an off night.
I am so sick of "we,"
all right?
I need to just--
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Called it about Matt
and his brother!
The second that Matt
walked onstage--
Actually, Matt was
the only person
who didn't screw things up
out there, so...
Something was weird,
though.
His brother kept looking
over at this other guy.
Somebody told me who he
was, so I Googled him.
Turns out he owns--
I don't care,
all right?
I--I need to get home.
But you
have to hear this!
Look,
I know you're upset,
and I don't know what's
going on with you and Matt,
but the connection
between this and...
I don't know what's
going on with Matt either,
but, you know, maybe it
has to do with, um,
people sticking their noses in
places where they don't belong.
Meaning what?
Meaning everything
was going fine, all right,
until Matt's buddy
and you
decided to go
looking for trouble,
and now--now it seems that
everything's just falling apart.
What? Whoa. Okay,
hold on a second.
I am just trying
to help you out here.
Maybe you're, you know, more of a
drama queen than a--a blogger.
You know,
likes to stir stuff up
and then make sure
her own gossip comes true?
Right. I think...
you need to--
Be left alone?
Yeah, Philip.
Y-You're 100% on that one,
so if you can just leave?
Please?
God.
I'm in big trouble.
I don't care about what
happened out there tonight.
I--I thought with everybody
so off their game,
I could just play it straight,
and we'd lose anyway.
I did--That way, no one could
tag me for sabotaging--
Whatever! Tomorrow night's
do or die for me.
I need you to come through.
No more runaround.
Forget what's happened.
Let's just get this done.
What kind
of trouble, Kyle?
No, bro.
All I've ever done
is protect you.
I can't change now.
Better you not know.
But I--I need to know
I can trust you to...
(CELLPHONE VIBRATES)
Uhh. What now?
Hey, wait for me
in the car.
I gotta deal with this.
Hey, I got a plan
for tomorrow night,
foolproof.
Thanks.
It's good to be
a team again.
Yeah?
JOE: There already.
I broke
every speed limit.
I didn't
have to break in.
The back door
was unlocked.
You sure about me leaving--
Uh-huh.
Traitor just
lied to my face.
He needs
to learn loyalty.
And after
he's expelled,
you'll be the man
on the swim team.
(CELLPHONE VIBRATING)
TOMMY: Where am I
gonna find two...
GRAN: Friends?
(BOYS LAUGHING)
MATT: Night, buddy.
JOE: You don't get it.
Your whole friendship
has been a joke.

MATT: I come up
to see her whenever I can.
TOMMY: Can I, uh--
Would you like me
to come in with you?
No, but next time,
though.
T, I'm so sorry.
Why? What did you
do to her?
What?
You worthless
piece of garbage!
Get out! Get out!
Get out of here,
you two-faced lying scumbag!
GRAN: Tommy!
Tommy!
I don't think he had
anything to do with this
any more than you do.
Deep down...
there is an answer,
but w-we just don't
know what it is yet.
I do know why you entered
the contest, though.
There was a letter
from the landlord
when I got home
last night.
I can
still win this.
I mean, I'm the
best chef up there.
Bello, bello,
what you did
was--was wonderful,
and I'll always cherish
how you wanted
to take care of everything
by yourself,
but this is our problem
to fix, not yours alone.
We're--We're a team,
just like you're part
of a team in this contest.
It's not about
being the best chef
or--or winning or saving
the day by yourself.
Well, besides you, I can only
trust me to take care of--
No, you have to stop acting
like you're on your own,
because you're not.
You are connected
to everyone on your team--
But Matt's
swimming buddy told me
that Matt thinks this whole
thing is just a huge joke and--
And your team is
in the final round, hmm?
I like Matt's
sense of humor.
But he's been lying
this whole time.
You don't know that.
You don't know
what he's been doing
until you
hear it from him.
I don't know about you,
but I'd like to hear what
your teammate has to say.
Why don't we
give him a chance?
Hey! Abby and I are
back together for good!
Yo, Matty!
MATT: I told you
I'm fine,
and we're set.
I'll be heading
over to Tommy's
to pick up
the pizzelle dough,
and I've already got
the extra ingredient.
You seem totally okay
with all this.
You're my brother.
I don't want anything
to happen to you.
And the more I think
about how he set me up,
I can't wait
to burn him.
And you haven't heard
from Dolen yet?
No. Wasn't
expecting to. Why?
No reason.
Hey, Matty...
I knew you'd
come through.
Things are gonna be
getting a lot better.
Stuff I'll tell you about
later with me and Abby.
Let's just
get through tonight.
Get through?
All the good stuff
starts tonight.
See you there.
Ready to go through
with our plan?
(LINE RINGS)
I should be the one to refrigerate
the dough at the studio,
just in case Kyle's
gone totally overboard
and has video surveillance
or something like that.
With all this
who's bluffing who
between you
and your brother,
how do I know you're
not just bluffing me?
I guess you just
gotta trust me.
Thanks, Gran.
Moonlight's pretty bright
for daytime.
And...
we have a restaurant
to save.
Joey, it's Kyle.
Listen,
as much as I want to trust
Matty, I just don't.
He's supposed to put
the liquid laxative
into Team Tommy's pizzelle
dough before the show,
but he was
way too agreeable.
I think he's gonna
double-cross me again,
so those two little kids
from Team Doofus are
gonna take care of it.
And now I've got something I
need you to handle. Call me.
Look, just give me
five minutes, all right?
After 30 seconds of nonstop
apologizing and groveling,
I have to tell you
the most incredible story
that you have to post on your
blog after tonight's show.
Okay, but only if you tell
me the story in 30 seconds
and spend the rest of the time
apologizing and groveling.
(LAUGHS)
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen,
please take your seats.
The "Teen Chef"
final showdown
will begin momentarily.
It turns out I need a new
prescription anyway.
You guys saved me
some serious eyestrain.
All right, let's go.
Make you guys look poor,
"Oliver Twist" effect.
Awesome. Let's go.
You kidding me?
Come on.
231, 232,
233, 234.
Buddy, uh, the girls
aren't here anymore.
I just...
love the way
I'm starting to look.
ANNOUNCER: Mealtime
Network proudly presents
the "Teen Chef"
final showdown.
And now here's your host,
Rip Barker!
(APPLAUSE)
Our teams will present
their meals
in courses to our judges,
who will score and evaluate
each meal progressively
until we're down to dessert
and the selection
of the new Mealtime
Network champions.
Gentlemen,
start your enchiladas.
♪ Time's up, and the light
is fading fast ♪

gonna hold me back ♪
♪ Darkness can't
overtake me ♪
♪ My eyes are open,

While our judges
take a breather,
our contestants
will now prepare
their final dessert round.
(APPLAUSE)
Team captains,
join your sous-chefs.
(APPLAUSE)
Stop!
(AUDIENCE GASPING)
That dough's
no good!
Let's go
to a commercial break.
We'll be right back.
He told me he messed with
his dough to sabotage him.
My producer's telling me we won't
be going to commercial break.
Sweeps week.
Nice try, pal,
but this dough
is fine.
JOE: No, I mean it.
He put enough
liquid laxatives
in there
to suck out
the judges'
small intestines.
(AUDIENCE GASPING)
WILL: It's true.
Otto and I saw him
put something
in the dough today.
No, he didn't,
all right? It's fine.
I trust Matt completely.
Thank you.
Me, too!
He's my brother!
He'd never do
anything like that!
If there's any chance
that anyone--
Test it!
I want that dough
tested now.
I vouch for
Matty's integrity.
We'd like to thank the producers
of "Cooking with Zayde"
for allowing us to continue
with our extended live show.
They'll return next week.
Our news isn't good.
It appears that
Team Tommy's pizzelle dough
was in fact tainted.
(AUDIENCE GASPS)
And so now--
"Any interference
with ingredients
"or procedures
disqualifies the team
whose member did
said interfering."
Thank you. But the rules
go on to say
that, if the team captain
decides to dismiss
the offending individual
from the team,
they can go on to redo
the round in question.
Tommy, you have
a decision to make.
You and Dennis can go head to
head in another dessert round,
but only if you fire Matt
from your team.
(GASPING, MURMURING)
RIP: What's it gonna be?
I--We're a team.
RIP: Okay,
but just so you make
a fully informed decision,
going into this last round,
Team Tommy
was in the lead.
You may want
to take a minute.
Win or lose,
we're a team.
So the winner of the
Mealtime Network contest
is Team Dennis!
(APPLAUSE, GROANING)
We're out of time now,
but we'd like--
Thank you so much!
I just want to say how honored I am.
Where do I begin?
I have
my own show now.
We here
at the Mealtime Network
would like to invite all of our
contestants and our in-studio audience
to join us tomorrow for a very special
afternoon edition of our show
live from
the beautiful lake house
of our network owner,
where we will thank
all of our contestants
and officially welcome Team
Dennis to our TV family
immediately following
"Brunhilde's Biscuits."
Thank you, and good night.
(APPLAUSE)
DIRECTOR:
And we're out.
I'll interview both of you
after the ceremony tomorrow.
MATT: I taught him
everything he knows.
(LAUGHS)
Dude!
It's your speech.
You two are gonna resign
from the team today.
I'll keep you to help
behind the scenes,
but, uh,
in the fan email that I've
gotten since last night,
it doesn't seem
like a good idea to...
split our audience's
focus among all of us.
Ooh!
TOMMY: Even though
I'm bummed about losing
my dream of saving
the pizza parlor,
I realize that, if this had
all happened a month ago,
I would have bailed
on coming here today.
I would have just curled up and
disappeared under the radar,
but I'm not. I'm here now
with my teammates,
and no one can break us.
And what I'm hearing
from this kid,
it seems like we're
not the only ones
who have been
pushed too far.
Sounds like this one's
pushing back.
ANNOUNCER: "Teen Chef"
continues live.
Never mind that we're not
even really urban poor kids.
Our mom's the live-in help
for his family.
Well, was, I guess,
after today.
But our team
is not the rightful
winner of this contest,
and aside from me,
there are three guys who
made Team Tommy lose--
him...
(GASPING)
BOY: What?
him...
and especially him.
(CHUCKLING)
Here's how it
all went down.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
And that's it.
I'm really, really sorry
for my part in this,
but I want you
to know that my brother
didn't have anything
to do with it.
My brother says,
"Yes, I did..."
"and we're a team, too."
(APPLAUSE)
(LAUGHS)
Ladies and gentlemen,
the real winners
of the Mealtime contest,
Team Tommy!
(CHEERING)
Congratulations,
Matt and Tommy.
What are you gonna do
with your prize money?
I--I hear there's this great
old pizza restaurant for sale.
(LAUGHS)
Awesome.
Hey, maybe you can tape your
new TV show from there.
Yeah!
Sounds good to me.
(CHEERING)
Ladies and gentlemen,
more with Team Tommy
right after
this short break.
NED: Mm.
As you
may have guessed,
the demolition's off.
And as far
as any future work goes,
why don't you move
to Antarctica?
Let's hear
from our winners.
Um, thank you,
everyone.
Um, our...
(SLAPPING)
Ow! Ow! Ow!
(LAUGHING)
Ow! Hey.
(GROANS)
Relax, bro.
It'll only sting, like, a week.
Or six!
Ah, ah, ah, hey.
(LAUGHTER)
When I'm ready,
I'll walk home.
So, T,
finish your speech!
Speech! Speech! Speech!
(CHANTING)
Speech! Speech! Speech!
Speech! Speech! Speech!
Speech! Speech! Speech!
Speech! Speech! Speech!
(CHEERING)
Uh,
boy, it's getting
pretty hot out here.
Sure is.
Yee-hoo!
Uh, team swim!
Everybody,
come on, join us!

TOMMY: I think
once you put aside
your first impressions
of people,
take the time
to give them a chance
and get to know
who they really are,
you might end up
being happily surprised
with the new friends
you discover.
They're the keepers,
you know,
the ones who will always be
on your team no matter what.
It also helps to stay strong
when things get tough.
Always remember
those people in your life
who care about you,
and move on from the ones
who never will,
and be cool
with taking the help
and the friendship
of those keepers.
Beats flying solo.
Trust me.
Even better, trust us.
