Candice: This wasn't how it was

supposed to go.

I just wanted to

make a little cash,

have a little fun.

But sometimes,

even the best plans

can leave a skid-mark

in your shorts.

To understand

how we got here,

[ Both laughing ]

Whoa!

Imagine all the fun

we could have with one of those.

Those drones make hopscotch

look like foursquare.

Mom!

Mom!

Can I get a drone?

Please, please!

I'd fly it every day

and I'd wash it and I'd feed it!

And it would get us involved

in stem fields

where girls are traditionally

underrepresented.

[ Sighs ]

I wish we could,

sweetie,

but we don't have the money

for stuff like that.

Yeah, right, Mom.

Then why do we live in a mansion

with Alex and Bridgette?

Oh, jeez.

Candice, the "house" we live in

is an apartment building.

And Alex and Bridgette only live

with us to help us pay for it.

But you have a job,

and Dad has a job.

Doesn't that

make us rich?

No.

Wait, so we're

poor?

Man, I had no idea

we were poor.

Do your mom and dad

have money?

No, my dad

does improv.

[ Inhales sharply ]

Ooh, I'm so sorry.

Let's face it,

drones are for rich kids.

Attencion,

everyone.

It's your friendly cafeteria

conduct liaison.

Effective immediately

our school's banned food list

will now include

General Tso's chicken,

because it promotes

militarism.

And please, don't push me

on this.

Stellan and I just broke up

and he took the Peloton

because he technically

paid for it,

even though I use it way

more than he does.

So, it's a whole thing.

Okay, buon appetito!

Oh, stop, stop,

stop, stop!

Don't let Campbell

see that.

All the food at this school

is so bland.

I'll give you a quarter

for your hot sauce.

Hmm, one quarter?

I'll give you

two dimes.

Whoa!

Now we're talking!

Maddie, I think I know

how we can buy a drone.

into the hot sauce game.

I'd harvest the product

Candice: Pretty soon, we had

Candice:

Tomorrow is the big sit-down

with our sister schools.

If all goes well, we expand our

operations all over the city.

I don't like it.

Campbell is closing in.

We need to lie low.

Please.

Mr. Campbell

couldn't find a butt

Candice, we have

plenty of money

bought our drone yet.

Isn't that why we started

this in the first place?

We move forward

with the sit-down.

There are more dimes

to be made.

Speaking of, this last payment

was supposed to have 873 dimes,

$5,000.

So, you were able to

buy this thing

hot sauce packets?

love hot sauce.

In that case,

the ban is lifted.

those packets now.
