Well, this is a great way to spend a Saturday.
I have never had detention before.
Jade
(to Robbie) If you hadn't made us late for class, we wouldn't be here.
I was choking on a pretzel.
Well, why do you always gotta be chokin' on somethin'?
(to Andre) Ah, give him a break.
Yeah, it's not Robbie's fault he has a petite throat.
Well, well. It's 7:06 here in Los Angeles. That means that in Australia, it's yesterday! (pause) Or tomorrow.
Y'know, in Australia, when you flush the toilet, the water swirls backwards.
Put a sock in it, Afro! You clowns are gonna sit in here all day and think about why you're in detention. (Jade leans back and spits her gum in the air; Rex leans back and catches it in his mouth) Now, cellphones. Let's have 'em.
Because in detention, there are no phone calls.
Can we play Grumpy Gerbils?
I can't get past Level 23.
Jade
Can we have corn pie?
Shut up! (brief pause) PHONES! (the gang all put their phones in the box) Now... I'm gonna put your box of phones right here. (puts them on top of the bookshelf. Tori then raises her hand) What, "princess"?
I was just wondering what the plan is for lunch.
Well if you pre-turds get hungry, there's a big plate of tuna right here. (points to it)
Um, technically, sir, if perishable foods aren't kept at either below 34 degrees or above 140 degrees-
Pipe down, side salad. Eat the tuna or starve. I could care less.
I think you mean you couldn't care less.
You said you could care less.
Which implies that you do care, at least a little bit.
Well, then you should have said, you couldn't care less.
Hey, what about the guy who first landed on the moon? He said "One small step for man." I would've just said "Oh, my god, I'm on the moon." (Beck smiles)
Alright, not another word.
Jade
Word.
That's it, West, you just bought yourself another Saturday detention.
Jade
Did I get a good deal on it?
You just bought yourself another one. (Cat yelps and buries her head in her hood)
Jade
Okay, look, I'm sorry, I apologize.
Okay, Vega, now you got one.
I don't want another one!
That's three. You want to to try for four?
Jade
Yes.
Okay, Vega, you just got 5!
Stop what? Jade said yes.
I guess he's afraid to give one to Robbie. (Robbie covers Rex's mouth as Mr. Dickers comes to him)
(to Rex) Oh, yeah? I got one for you, too, Fudge Sack. Anybody else? Huh? Anybody? (no one speaks) You mess with the cow... you get the udders. (Dickers leaves the library as the door closes)
(Tori takes her taco)
Well, they were in Robbie's pants.
Can you not say that again?
Jade
Cat, you're not eating your taco.
(nervously) Yeah, it's 'cause I'm - I'm like - I'm too excited to eat it, you know. Tacos, yay. (the cheese from Cat's taco fell off)
Jade
Vegan.
Jade
Then eat your taco if you're not a vegan.
You know what I can go for right now?
I felt you, dawg. (Beck smiles)
Tacos. Those sound really good right now.
Jade
(while ripping paper) I'm down for tacos.
(nervously) Yeah. I love tacos.
Jade
(about Cat) Look who's being real quiet.
I'm just not that hungry right now.
Jade
Yeah, why don't you tell everyone the truth?
Jade
(goes to Cat) Our pristine little friend Cat has never had a taco.
I'm not that pristine. (pause) Wait, what's pristine mean?
Jade
(to Cat) Are you a vegan?
It's a person who doesn't eat meat.
Jade
C'mon, Cat, tell us. Have you ever had a crispy corn shell, filled with meat... lettuce... shredded cheese... (Jade glares at Cat)
(Tori comes over)
Jade
What are you gonna do if I don't?
Well, I might just go online, to the Slap, and unfriend you. (Cat gasps)
Jade
Oh, really?
Two clicks. One to unfriend you, and one to confirm that I really wanna unfriend you. (Jade glares at Tori)
Hey, c'mon, y'all, how we gonna get some tacos?
I could call Trina, ask her to pick some up and leave them in my locker.
(crying) You're so conceited, Tori! You're so conceited!
(the group is avoiding Mr. Dickers in the hall when they run into some wet floor signs)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! The floor's wet.
We can't run across that, it's too dangerous!
Jade
Way to go, Tori. You just had to have your taco!
No...just me. (stuffs the bag of tacos in Robbie's pants) You guys get back to the library.
I'm gonna get Dickers' attention.
(singing loud and off key while running and ripping posters) HERE I AM, ONCE AGAIN... FEELING LOST... (The screen cuts to Dickers turning suspicious and heading in the direction of the singing) YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID TO PUT YOUR DREAM IN ACTION, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA FADE YOU'LL BE THE MAIN ATTRACTION... IN MY VICTORY, JUST REMEMBER ME, WHEN I MAKE IT SHINE-(bumps into Dickers)
Oh, ho ho. I'm gonna make it shine. I'm gonna make it shine REAL good!
Aaaaaahhhh, you're in big trouble, Vega.
For leaving the library, skinny jeans! And singing off-key! Come on. (pulls Tori by the arm)
I was running and singing at the same time, that's-that's really hard!
Are we gonna be just like our parents?
Jade
When you get old, your butt sags.
And you can't find your pants.
Sometimes, I feel so much pressure, y'know, with my music. My cousin J.J., he's always telling me, "You know, you gotta be the best. You gotta be number one! Number one!!!" And I wanna tell him "Hey, man, get off my chizz!" But he drives me to school, and I don't wanna blow my ride.
(raises hand) I have a weird talent.
(crying) You're so conceited, Tori! You're so conceited!
Jade
Yeah, let's see it. (everybody joins in)
Okay. Okay. I'll show you. (Tori starts pulling out her socks ) Can't believe I'm doing this.
(Tori gets a bow and arrow and uses it with her own feet and the arrow hits a poster. All of them start talking in amazement)
Jade
(sarcastically) That was amazing! You learn that from your daddy? Your daddy know how to shoot a bow and arrow with his foot?
(after a pause) I'm sorry, did I miss something?
Jade
Go on. Shoot another arrow.
Jade
Oh, c'mon, show us what your daddy taught you about foot archery.
Jade
BECAUSE MY DAD CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH HIS FEET!
STOP IT!!! As teenagers, we are all under too much pressure!!!
(after a brief pause, everybody starts laughing)
(as Robbie starts to tackle Tori) Robbie!
(while everybody is laughing, Robbie blows raspberries on Tori's stomach)
(closing letter)
Dear Mr. Dickers. Goodbye from all of us. A puppet...
A nerd with temporarily straight hair.
Jade
A girl who likes scissors...
Cat, they can't see you, baby.
Sincerely, The Breakfast Bunch. Even though we never had breakfast as a bunch.
(reading the tracking number) Here it is, tracking number. A, K, 4, 5, 5, H, J, 1, 4, 7, 7, H, Y, 7, F, L, 4... (later) 6, Q, L, 4, K, 3, 2, A, M, T, Y... (later) K, L, 5, 4, 9, B, D, 6.
Jade
Will you stop that?!
Shush, they're about to tell me where my package is!
RReceptionist
Your package was delivered at...8:21 PM.
Oh. (runs to the door) I don't see the-(gets hit by the package and falls to the floor)
EElise
Um... Andre? Right?
Andre. Yeah. So, uh, here's what's up. Some friends of mine might be going to the Gorilla Club tonight. And if you don't have any plans, I was thinking maybe me and you--- (Jades sneaks behind him)
Jade
HAMMER TIME.
Not now. All right. I'm trying to talk to----
Jade
STOP! HAMMER TIME. (Jade plays a MC Hammer-like song on her PearPad. Then, Andre starts to dance like MC Hammer. Elise then leaves.)
(following Elise while still dancing) Wait! Wait, Elise! Don't walk away from a man when he's Hammer dancing!
(When Tori is practicing her audition as Sikowitz, Andre and Robbie watch her, Jade suddenly enters with a big boombox.)
Jade
HAMMER TIME.
Darn it, oh! (Robbie and Andre stand up as Jade plays the boombox. A song similar to MC Hammer's starts to play and both Robbie and Andre start dancing like MC Hammer.)
DON'T LOOK AT IT! (Robbie and Andre continue dancing)
