(While leaving school) Sorry we had to give you your birthday present a day early.
IngridIt was a nice non-surprise. Fillmore, about what went down on the bridge...
Hey, it was a bridge you had to cross. Now you're on the other side
Ingrid
I am. But I'd still like to see that stupid test go down.
Don't we all. But Ingrid, what can you do?
Ingrid
Something.
I don't think that's against the rules, at least any of the rules I know. *Laughs* Hey, let's get some egg rolls. You're buying.
Ingrid
*pulls out scooter and puts on gear while looking at Fillmore*
Ingrid, you can't ride that on school grounds.
Ingrid
Oh sure I can. Watch!
You're gonna let me take a turn right?
Ingrid
Only if you catch me... *rides off*
CCheerleader
Hi! Suprised ya? I'm Sherri Shatler, with the X Middle School Welcome Wagon. Welcome Ingrid Third!
Ingrid
Uh... Hi. Thank you? Can you tell me why all the kids are looking at me like...
CCheerleader
-Like you transferred from Lameville? Sure! First, You're new. Second, you dress differently. Third, It's only a matter of time before kids learn you're the smartest kid in school! Yeah, I looked at your transcript. Now here's an "X" shaped cookie! It's X-Middle School-Licious! I'll see you at the intro later today! So longsees!
Ingrid
...Intro?
Some room! I practically spent my first two months of school here... 'Til that is, my former partner Wayne drafted me out of delinquency and into the safety patrol. You're lying, Ingrid. You didn't do it, and I can prove it.
Ingrid
So what? Listen. They're gonna expell me, and I want out. Why would I wanna stay here?
I have an ATM tape that proves you weren't anywhere near the school when the stink bomb went off!
Ingrid
And I have an eggplant that looks like Fred Durst! Did you hear me? I don't care. I just wanna forget you people!
Don't say "you people"! Because THIS person's been out there, busting his tail trying to clear YOUR name. And what do I get in return? a messed up eggplant. (Ingrid smiles) Well, what's that?! Joan of Arc cracked a smile! Ingrid, you didn't do it. Don't take the fall because of a hundred fools who want easy answers! You got a friend at X, me.
Ingrid
...You know. I was thinking, if one person other than the Welcome Wagon Girl is the least bit nice to me by two o' clock? I wouldn't confess to doing something I didn't do.
I would've been here earlier, but... I was busy trying to clear a friend's name. Cornelius Fillmore.
Ingrid
Ingrid Third.
Are you reading those files?
Ingrid
Yeah, photographic memory... This school, you got kids with slingshots, baseball card sharks, test paper peddlers... But you don't have any rebels.
That's why you've gotta stick around.
CCheckmatey
Who drew these? (Drawing of fire-breathing cat)
Ingrid
My sister.
CCheckmatey
She look like you?
Ingrid
Taller.
CCheckmatey
But not prettier, because you are fine like the sunshine, and I...
(Ingrid twists Checkmatey's arm)
I'm on entry. (Hands over the binoculars) Sonny, you take lookout.
Ingrid
(Skeptical) Fillmore, you're not going in there alone, are you?
No disrespect domino, but you'd just be in his way.
Ingrid, it's cool. Give Sonny your walkie. (Sonny gloatingly reaches for the walkie) Look, trust me on this (Leaps down).
Relax, sunshine. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Ingrid
You two have done this before?
(Chuckles) Just a hundred times or so. Fillmore was once the top entry-man in the school. He was like a straight-up ghost (Fillmore silently runs behind the grill). (Fillmore hanging upside-down under a table and rolling away) He could get in and out of anywhere, steal anything. (Fillmore rises from underwater and swims out of the pool) Plain and simple, he was the best.
Ingrid
He still is the best, only now, it's for the good guys.
(Chuckles sarcastically) You really think you know him, don't you?
Beautiful. I knew you could do it man (villainously revs his watercraft as he moves away from Fillmore).
There is no evidence. Never was (opens book to reveal many CDs)
Thousands of them. I knew Rudy had 'em. I also knew you were the only person good enough to steal them from him. Bottom line, I needed you, C. (Bragging) Hey, check the getaway I jacked from the personal watercraft team.
It was you all along. The stuff that happened to my bike...
(Nonchalantly) What can I say? I knew you'd come to me for help, and when you did, I just pointed you towards Rudy.
I staged the whole thing to gain your trust. Beautiful, huh? The rest was easy. Once we got the location of the ledger, I made that little call to Peabody, and then, I planted the hall passes (Clips of Sonny being a snake playing all the while).
So you played me for a sucker?
Not really. I just know you, and I knew when push came to shove, you'd take that ledger. (Smugly) You're a thief, Fillmore, and you always will be. (Arrogantly) And do you wanna know the best part? You can't even go to the Safety Patrol now. Not unless you want to do some serious detention time. You took that ledger without a warrant.
(Jovially) Guess again, Sonny. This is a warrant to seize the ledger signed by Representative Peabody this afternoon.
(Hard) You made one mistake. You didn't erase the memory on your cellphone. Remember that anonymous call made to Peabody? Guess what phone it came from?
(Lifts shirt to reveal wire) And now that we got your confession on tape, I'd say it's over. (Into the wire) You reading this, Danny?
(Loudly and deliberately) Loud and clear.
(Looks at Peabody as if to say 'I told you so' and then to the walkie) Move in.
Ingrid
(On a loudspeaker from an oddly large boat) This is the Safety Patrol. We have you surrounded. Shut off your engine
Uh-uh. Not yet! (Awesome chase ensues)
TTehama
Okay. What the heck is that?
Uh, no offence, Danny, but that kinda looks like Tiger Woods on a very bad morning.
Ingrid
(squinting) Oh yeah, and that's his elbow...at least, I hope that's his elbow...
(shows Ingrid his golf club with 6 notches scratched into it) These notches are 6 peoples lives I'd ruined: It was the 6th Grade, back when I was a delinquent; I'd always been good at mini golf, and I decided to throw-in with the school team, but because of my little discipline problems, I wasn't even allowed to try-out. 'Since they didn't let me try-out, I decided to stamp them out. All of them. I challenged the whole team to a match, betting each of them everything they had; CDs, video games, their trophies, you name it. It wasn't about the swag; I only had 1 thing on my mind--destroying their Game: Ingrid, mini golf is 100% Mental; I played the holes to break them; I made it look like the greens broke differently; I swung my arm slow, but hit fast, and made it look the windmill was standing still. They didn't know what hit them. I beat them so-badly, so-completely, it's like... there was nothing of them left. I Took Them Out. They never played the game again. And, until this case, neither had I.
Ingrid
Fillmore, that was a long time ago. You did something harsh, and it hurts; That's how your paying the price for it. But Don't make other people pay that price. You are the only one who can take Biggie down. You're the only one who can stop him. 'You don't, and you may as well put some notches for All of us.
