03x14 - Getting Organized/Extra Credit

[bunniefuu]

In a middle school full of bullies, insane teachers,

And gross school lunches, ned bigby--that's me--

And my best friends try to do the impossible--

Create a guide that will help you survive school.

♪ Coming up, looking out ♪

♪ I'll survive it, no doubt ♪

♪ Never fear, bring it on ♪

♪ Break it down, what's in my way? ♪

♪ And i...

♪ I'm finding my place in this world ♪

♪ And i...

"Ned's declassified school survival guide."

Your results may vary.

Controls your emotions, motor skills,

Speech, and memory.

Yeah! Yeah!

Excellent, albert.

Ok, class, time to hand in last night's homework.

Don't tell me you forgot to do

The homework... Again.

I didn't forget. I did it. I just can't find it.

Maybe you should think about getting organized.

I'm plenty organized.

Your homework, mr. Bigby?

[Boom]

So you did the homework,

Only you left it at home...again?

Homework, handouts, projects--

It's a lot to keep track of in the morning!

Frankly, school is overwhelming.

That's why you have to get organized.

Look at albert.

I bet he's never forgotten his homework in his life.

Yeah. But he's scary.

My locker's nice, too.

Aah! Aah!

Oh...

I...

What? What is it? Speak!

I went to get a fruit-filled

Granola bar from the vending machine

When in its slot was mini powdered donuts!

What? Fruit-nola is our favorite snack at snack time!

Move!

A cluttered locker leads to a cluttered mind.

But if you'd get more organized,

You'd find your brain would work much more smoothly.

All I need to find right now

Is my math notebook.

And my brain is not cluttered.

It's so cluttered in here, I can't stand it!

Ok.

We're looking for the notebook, people.

Where's the notebook?

I have no idea!

I'm surprised he remembers his own name!

Don't worry. I will check the floor.

Aah!

Oh...

Oh, great. Nice motion, motion.

Oh, don't get so emotional!

Hello. Hello.

And what are you doing in here anyway, huh?

Oh! I'm his feminine side.

No, I think you're his pfffft side, all right?

And you, why aren't you saying something?

You're speech. You should be talking.

Oh, I talk! It's just impossible

To get anything done around here!

This is a pig sty! I can't work like this!

Both of you, be quiet!

I can't think!

Oh...

Are you ok?

I think I'm getting a headache.

Excuse me. What happened

To the fruit-filled granola bars?

I was told not to deliver them.

What sicko stops the delivery

Of healthy fruity granola

And replaces them with mini powdered donuts?!

Yeah! My mini powdered donuts!

Ha ha ha! Whoo!

Together: we have to do something about this.

I hope you all remembered

That wednesday is quiz day!

He forgot it was quiz day!

Great. That's great. Perfect.

Take out a piece of paper

And write down the parts of the brain.

[Alarms blaring]

Please tell me we got a pencil in there. Please!

Lance, do you have a pencil I could borrow?

I...always come prepared.

And here's an eraser for your mistakes

And a tissue for when you fail

And start crying, moron!

Thanks.

Ok, folks. Come on, team.

Let's work together, and let's find those answers!

Come on, memory.

We're gonna fail.

So, what I hear you saying

And cook agreeing with you right after is

You want me to put the fruit-nola

Back in the vending machine?

We just don't think it's fair

That our favorite snack has been eliminated.

I agree.

Granola is barfy!

And I grew up on mini powdered donuts.

Mini powdered donuts are what made this country great.

So my answer is no.

Bye!

What's the trouble, boys?

Crubbs took away our favorite snack.

And there's nothing we can do about it.

Gompers!

What-ers? What-ers?

Samuel gompers,

A great organizer of labor.

Tired of the little guy getting stepped on,

He organized the workers, created unity,

And got better working conditions

Across this great land!

So you're saying we should organize the students

And stand up to crubbs

For our fruit-filled granola bar rights!

As former principal, I cannot condone

Any organized student protest...

But, uh...if I were your age,

I'd find a way

To stick it to the man.

Are we going to let the school take away our favorite snacks?

No! No! No!

And are we going to be silent

And let them walk all over us?

No! No! No!

And are we going to get to class

Before you all get detention?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Your shirt's inside-out.

Oh!

I lay out my clothes every night before school

So I don't look like a dork!

Nice backpack!

I forgot it was quiz day.

School can be overwhelming, mr. Bigby.

But it can be managed if you take

Extra time to get organized.

Extra time? Have you seen your homework assignments?

This quiz was a warm-up for the test on friday,

Which is the last one before report cards!

Since today is still quiz day,

Maybe I could get a make-up quiz.

Don't do it! He's hopeless!

Come by my room at sixth period.

And no excuses this time!

Sign the "bring back fruit-nola bars" petition.

Yes!

Signatures. That'll show--

Vice-principal crubbs.

We have a petition for you.

Which clearly shows that a majority of polksters

Want fruit-nola bars, not mini powdered donuts.

Well, this is impressive,

And I'm going to take a look at these.

Yes! Yes!

Which, of course, may take a while,

Probably around... Oh, say, graduation!

Ha ha ha! Mmm! Mmm!

Bye! Ha ha ha!

Uh! We can't just give up.

What are we going to do,

Sit around and do nothing?

Wait. That's it.

That's exactly what we're going to do.

I don't get it.

[Gong]

Sweeney's make-up quiz!

Aah!

Let me guess.

You forgot about the quiz.

Or did you simply spend the last minutes

Looking for a pencil?

Or you left your brain at home again

Along with your notebook?

I'm having a bad week!

Of course you are, and it's going to continue,

Unless you get expert organizing help...

Which I've arranged.

From who?

You've got to get rid of clutter

In your backpack and locker

Once a week.

And always go calendar.

Mark down when projects and quizzes

Are due for class

And when the big test is.

Picking out clothes

Is the biggest morning-time waster.

So every night before school, lay out your clothes.

You'll have more time in the morning

To get your backpack together...

And have everything you need for the day.

Always have writing utensils handy.

Designate specific locations for your wallet,

Keys, and i.d. Card,

And never spend a minute looking for them again.

And go...accordion folder.

Organize the slots for homework, permission slips, projects,

And whatever else you need,

And you'll never lose an important piece of paper again.

Awesome.

But I'm not going with the fanny pack.

Together: follow these rules, and you'll do better in school.

So if you're disorganized like me,

Take the advice from the super nerdy organized super squad,

And take control of your busy schedule.

How does the entire school cut class?

[Telephones ringing]

Hold on. I'm on the phone.

Yeah, I'm on it.

[Telephones ringing]

Ok. Everyone back to class.

Do it, or it's detention for all of you!

You're all expelled!

Fine! I'll put the fruit-nola back.

Just get back to class, please.

[Cheering]

Ned: so, cookie and moze got organized

And got their fruit-nolas back.

And I got organized and got ready

For the biggest test of the semester.

I hope you're ready.

Multiple choice. Piece of cake, huh?

Got the answers right here.

All right.

Let's start typing them in,

And let's start writing them down.

"A," "a,"

"C," "b"...

"A!"

Well done, mr. Bigby.

Ok, let's shake the man's hand and go home.

[Ah-choo!]

Aah!

Are you all right?

I think I'm getting a head cold.

[Ah-choo!]

[Ah-choo!]

Uh...

[Ah-choo!]

You see, report cards are right around the corner,

And I promised my mom I wouldn't bring home any c's,

So if you could just look at my average so far to, you know,

Let me know where I stand.

Together: c-plus.

Aah!

Is there anything I can do

To pull my grade up to a b-minus

Really fast, before report cards come out next week?

Together: extra credit.

If you're not happy with your grades,

Go to your teacher and talk about

Getting an extra-credit assignment.

You're going to do

Extra-credit projects by friday?

That's impossible.

Speaking of extra credit...

Is that a platinum card?

It's linked to my parents' account,

But I'm only supposed to use it for emergencies.

You two want to see extra credit?

Check this out.

I built it for sweeney's class.

It's going to get me an a-plus.

Moze, everyone does a volcano.

But mine has little puffs of smoke.

But it's just so played-out,

And it's been, like, on every tv show ever.

Oh, my pencil broke. This is an emergency!

I know. I'll call speedy dot.

They deliver anything, any time, speedy.

Hello. Speedy dot?

I need something to write with...fast!

[Horn honking]

Speedy dot. I got here as fast as I could.

I'll take of these, of those.

Anybody need a pen? It's on me.

You're going to need a lawyer

To explain this one to your dad.

Claire sawyer, future lawyer.

Oh, I was just making a point. He doesn't...

Put it all on the card, my man.

And leave the tab open.

Never know when there's gonna be another emergency.

Very nice, miss mosley.

Just put it over there on the extra-credit table,

And we'll see if it's worth that a-plus.

Actually, I'm not quite done with it yet.

I have to make a couple more improvements.

Ok. So I've got a solar-powered fan for science,

A book report for english,

A globe tracing population growth for social studies,

And a long algebra equation for math.

What if it were bigger?

What if I took the extra-credit volcano to the next level?

[Man whistling]

Gordy, how would you like to help me build

The greatest model volcano of all time?

Volcano?

Oh...are you serious?

Oh, I'm serious.

Well, there's an empty storage room in the east wing.

We'll start there.

Aah!

No!

Oh!

Speedy dot, I need an emergency

Extra-large pepperoni pizza

Delivered to polk middle school.

[Horn honking]

Sorry I'm late.

Didn't your dad say to use that card

For emergencies only?

Did you smell the chipped beef?

This is an emergency.

There's no way I'm going to finish

Different extra-credit assignments by tomorrow.

Dude, you'd be lucky to finish one.

Wait a minute. I have to pull up

My grade in classes,

But I only have time for one project.

So what if I build one universal extra-credit project

For all subjects?

The perfect storm of extra credit.

What could it be?

It has to be out there somewhere.

But where?

A pyramid!

It has architectural calculations for math,

Linguistic hieroglyphics for english,

Historical stuff for social studies,

And the constructive physics for science.

You spilled sauce on my shirt!

[Speed-dialing]

Hello, speedy dot.

[Horn honks]

[Tires screech]

Ooh! Concrete!

This is the stuff for the new school construction project.

Was. This was the stuff

For the new school construction project.

Now it's for my extra-credit project.

Ooh! A pick-axe!

Ah!

I'd like to do a pyramid

For my extra-credit project.

Together: approved.

Not bad...

After I sum it up by another feet at least.

What? Moze, that would mean

Knocking out an entire section of the second floor.

Isn't that a little severe?

I'll tell you what's severe!

Missing an a-plus by points!

Now, are you with me or against me?

[Sighs loudly]

[Music playing loudly]

I sicked-out my locker.

You do know how a credit card works, right?

You're going to get a bill at the end of the month.

How are you going to pay for it?

Duh! I'll put it all on the card.

[Music stops]

This credit card thing is getting out of control.

What are you talking about?

Cookie... You bought a pony.

[Neigh]

I had a pony emergency.

Well, my g.p.a. Emergency is solved. Check it.

Subjects, one extra-credit masterpiece.

This is either pure genius,

Or your worst plan in years.

And all I have to do is get it graded

By sweeney, xavier, iteacher, and pal by the end of the day,

And you can call me mr. B-minus!

Whoa! Oh!

Where's all the heat coming from?

I routed the school's furnace

Up through the floor

And into the volcano's main shaft!

Now, that's what I call taking it to the next level.

Yeah. Well, I hope you know a good lawyer.

Claire sawyer, future lawyer.

Claire, I was just making a point.

Ooh!

Excellent work, ned.

Hieroglyphics. Excellent, ned.

Not bad. I'll look at it tonight.

Tonight? No, no.

I have to show this to dr. X--

I mean, I have to go.

It's fine. Just leave it, and I'll grade it later.

I'll bring it back later. I have to go.

I have to--i--

Aah!

Oh, there is your extra-credit math pyramid.

No. He made it for science class.

Both: no. He made that for me.

Well, mr. Bigby, is there something

You'd like to say?

I think I could use a lawyer.

I said, I think I could use a lawyer!

Claire!

Claire sawyer, future lawyer.

I got a pony today.

[Kiss]

[Rap music playing]

Although my client did, in fact,

Make one extra-credit project for subjects,

There is no polk rule that says that one project

Cannot fulfill requirements in more than one class.

So you must grade ned on the merits of his work.

Sweeney: well...

You have to admit, it was a pretty clever idea.

Perhaps mop-headed boy is smarter

Than c-plus average.

So you'll bump up my average?

Together: b-minus.

Yes!

Sweeney: now, if you'll all excuse me,

I have a volcano to grade.

[Whistling]

Is that my demolition detonator?

Oh, yeah!

Moze, listen to me.

Now, I would never ever be the voice of reason.

You've taken this too far.

Hey, if you can't stand the heat,

Get out of my extra-credit volcano!

Come on.

It's over, moze.

What have I become?

I've let proving that I can make

A bigger, better extra-credit volcano

Take over my entire life.

So, where's this "improved"

Extra-credit volcano you told me about?

Ah, what the heck?

[Boom]

[Neighing]

Whoa, buddy! Whoa!

Whoa!

Help! Aah!

[Pony neighing]

Do I get my a-plus?

Whoo-hoo! Absolutely,

As soon as I get the written part.

The written part?

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

One last tip--

No matter how great the project is,

For max extra credit, don't forget to spend

Just as much time on the written part.

Speaking of extra credit,

Where's cookie?

[Panting]

[Speed-dialing]

Hello, speedy dot.

I'm going to need some clothes, water, and a ride home.

[Indistinct voice]

What?! What do you mean, I'm over my limit?

[Dial tone]

No! But this is a real emergency!

Aah...

No!

Marker.

[Both talking at once]

If you're not happy with your grades--

[Horn honks]

Aah!

Speaking of extra credit...

Oh.

[Laughter]

We got to stop. You know why?

Why?

I don't have any eyes on.

It's very hard to write like this, guys.
