OK everybody, up top. [all five high-five] First middle school high five, check. Who's ready to rock day one? [Everyone groans]
I know I am. Grew this sweet new 'stache over the summer, so I'm golden.
OK, A: I'd hardly call that a 'stache. And B: why can't you just admit you're nervous like the rest of us?
Guys, there's nothing to be nervous about. Especially because we'll all be together in Mrs. Salter's class, which Lynn said rules.
But Lincoln, we're gonna get eaten alive! We're not big fish anymore.
Everybody calm down, I'm telling you. [blows harmonica and clears his throat.] As long as we're together, we'll be fine.
Thanks for buying me a snack, Clyde. You have no idea how much it costs to feed and house a dove.
You bet. Just two best friends sharing some dried apples! Nothing unusual at all.
Those are some healthy choices, boys!
Hey, guys! Fancy running into you here.
[waves a pocket watch] Behold, this antique pocket watch. Look closely at it and relax your mind.
Zach, why are you showing me an old watch?
Shh. Just focus on the watch. Let's talk about dancing. It's so cool. You want to dance. You need to dance.
[stops the watch] Nice try, Zach, but I'm sticking with my magic act. [leaves]
I don't understand why it didn't work.
[The two exit before the camera reveals Zack unknowingly hypnotized Meryl instead; she dances for two uncomfortable students.]
I wanna boot-scoot! I need to boot-scoot! Aw, yeah, aw, yeah!
[Lincoln and his friends are hanging out at Gus' Games and Grub, but before they're about to enjoy their spaghetti pizza, Leni and her friends: Fiona, Miguel, Jackee and Mandee arrive]
Ooh! Lincoln, isn't that your sister?
[notices her brother] Hey, Lincoln! It's like, totes packed in here. Mind if we share your booth?
Well, it's already… [Leni and her friends end up squeezing in] Full.
[gasps] Is that spaghetti pizza?
Oh. Well, I guess. [the teens devour the whole pizza] So, what are you guys doing here?
Yeah, don't you guys usually hang out at the mall?
Usually. But Dim Yum is closed.
Yeah, but the skee-ball is open! Come on, let's play some games!
[The teens leave the table and go to the arcade]
[offended] They ate all of our pizza. Now they're playing all of our games?
[Screen pans to Leni and her friends having fun playing games]
Y'all, they're takin' over this place like skeeters on a sugar sucker.
Guys, it's okay. It's only for an afternoon. We can still have fun.
[Miguel lands a high score on skee-ball and his friends celebrate until Rusty, Zach and Stella approach]
Mind if I get next? I don't get A's very often.
Sorry, dude. Miguel's gonna be here for a while. He's on a roll.
Only 10,000 more tickets and he has enough to win the Rip Hardcore Waffle Iron!
TTeens
[singing] Waffles!
I've been saving up my tickets for years trying to win that! [sulks sadly]
[Outside of Gus', Lincoln is trying to convince Leni and her friends to stop hanging out]
I'm really sorry, Lincoln, but Gus' is the only hangout that works for all of my friends.
[Fiona, Miguel, Jackee and Mandee all nod in agreement]
Seriously? There's nowhere else? What about the Burpin' Burger?
[offended] How dare you? I'm recently vegetarian.
Okay, what about the Burnt Bean?
Leni, we're done with you (and your friends) hanging out here!
Yeah, now get! Don't make me huck any more ice at y'all.
The baby rocks was you? Not cool, Lincoln.
[now annoyed] Yeah, if you're gonna pull dirty tricks, there's no way we're leaving.
[Lincoln, Leni and their friends are all outside of Gus', bummed out after their fighting in a contest]
You know what the worst part is?
[pulls a splinter from his keister] All the splinters in my butt?
I'm still so hungry! [sobs]
