00:01You get my friend Cyrus here, a chocolate chocolate chip muffin.
00:05Then we have a deal.
00:07You can't get your own muffin?
00:09I didn't need this extra level of embarrassment.
00:12But no.
00:14Well, I can do it, but...
00:17Teach your man to fish?
00:20Walk to the muffin, like you already own.
00:23He can't do that.
00:25Don't tell him what he can't do.
00:28Mind if I...
00:29He's with me.
00:38What do you think when you're on the slide?
00:43We go down, we say yay.
00:47We don't climb up, that's the wrong way.
00:50Did not expect you to have a song for that.
00:54Chocolate chocolate chip muffin, right?
00:56Scary basketball guy.
00:57Actually, DJ.
01:00I know.
01:01Cyrus.
01:04So, do you hang out here a lot?
01:07Only when I'm feeling bad about myself.
01:10So, fairly often.
01:12Hmm.
01:14Does it help?
01:15It helps me.
01:18Go on, you look like you need it.
01:19Wow, this does kind of make me feel better.
01:23What do you need to feel better about?
01:25You're the captain of the basketball team.
01:28You don't know me.
01:30I got stuff.
01:31Bet you I got more stuff.
01:33Whoa.
01:34Whoa.
01:34Whoa.
01:36Whoa.
01:37Whoa.
01:37Whoa.
01:37Whoa.
01:37Underdog.
01:39Whoa.
01:39Whoa.
01:40Whoa.
01:40Whoa.
01:41Whoa.
01:41That was exhilarating.
01:42You want another one?
01:45No, thank you.
01:46Too bad.
01:47Um.
01:47Whoa.
01:51Whoa.
01:51Whoa.
01:53Whoa.
01:55Iris, you okay?
01:58I got it, Val.
02:00TJ?
02:03No, TJ.
02:04You don't have to.
02:05I'll be.
02:05She's really cool.
02:06Yeah.
02:07But thanks for reminding me about this movie.
02:10That helps.
02:11Hey, not-so-scary basketball guy.
02:17Hey, underdog.
02:19What's up?
02:20Well, I know it's kind of last minute, but if I could get an RSVP ASAP, I think I can get you into my bar mitzvah party.
02:31I'm there.
02:32I'm not here as a punching bag.
02:34I'm here to see if you're okay.
02:36How about you're not here at all?
02:40I should be in that game.
02:41Why aren't you?
02:42Because I'm failing math.
02:44They won't let me play basketball because I can't do some stupid equations.
02:49How are those things even related?
02:51Maybe you should get a different tutor.
02:54What I need is a different brain.
02:56What's wrong with yours?
02:59It doesn't work.
03:01It doesn't malfunction.
03:05I might have this math dyslexia.
03:08Dyscalculium.
03:09Buffy's the one who figured it out.
03:11She's been bugging me to talk to Kong.
03:14Constantly on my back about it.
03:15It's pretty common.
03:17Not worth replacing your brain.
03:19Dude, it's-
03:20Buffy!
03:20Buffy!
03:20Buffy!
03:21Learning disability?
03:24I don't want to go around announcing it.
03:27Dude, that's an overused buzzword.
03:32There is nothing wrong with you.
03:35And your teacher can't fail you for having.
03:39Can I say it?
03:40I think she'd be okay with it.
03:43I'm not sure I'm okay with it.
03:46You were awful to her.
03:48And even though she's gone,
03:51she's still here in spirit.
03:53Buffy.
03:57Buffy.
03:59I know I should have done this to you in person,
04:01but I was a jerk.
04:03Like, big time.
04:05And I'm sorry.
04:06So you let me sit down,
04:07but you won't even talk to me?
04:09I'm sorry.
04:10It's private.
04:11I'm having a physical issue.
04:15Oh.
04:16Wait, no.
04:17Stop imagining horrible things.
04:19I can't do a somersault.
04:20Listen, underdog.
04:21You can't do a somersault?
04:23I can help you with that.
04:25I should probably head out too.
04:26Have to go to work.
04:28You want to come with me?
04:29Yes, please.
04:31This is where you're going to learn to do a somersault.
04:33Says the athlete with boundless confidence.
04:36You don't know what it's like to be a kugel of a man.
04:39Uh.
04:45Is this because of TJ?
04:57No.
04:58You think he's not going to pass you the ball,
05:00but he will.
05:01Buffy.
05:02He's a completely different person.
05:05He got a C on a math test.
05:07He did?
05:08You should have seen him.
05:09It was so cute.
05:09He was running around, showing everybody.
05:11He was like a little puppy who passed a math test.
05:15Was that the best apology ever?
05:18I think maybe it was.
05:21So we're good?
05:23Yeah.
05:24I think we are.
05:25Cool.
05:27I'll see you around there.
05:32I'm so confused right now.
05:35You think you're confused?
05:37Take a walk through my head.
05:44Zaris.
05:44Hey, what's up?
05:46What are you doing Saturday?
05:47Saturday.
05:48Saturday.
05:49Well, my popular kids' club meetings are on Fridays.
05:53So, uh, yeah, I'm free on Saturday.
05:55Gonna hang out with you.
05:56And my friends.
05:58Do they even know I exist?
05:59Yeah, they know.
06:01I'll talk about you.
06:01You made it!
06:02All right, Cyrus, this is Lester, and this is me.
06:05Hey.
06:06And tell me there were going to be dirt bikes.
06:08Have you been on one?
06:09As a matter of fact, Andy has one,
06:11and I hid it in my garage,
06:12and rolled it through the school parking lot.
06:14So, now, they're really fun.
06:17Give it a shot!
06:20Eating contest?
06:21We're not going to eat the watermelon when we shoot them.
06:23What?
06:24Yeah, dude, have you ever seen a watermelon?
06:25It's so dope.
06:28Yeah, sure.
06:29It's super dope.
06:30Did you say shoot them?
06:31That's right.
06:32With what?
06:34See for yourself.
06:39You should see your face right now, bro.
06:43Is that a pill?
06:45Of course it's real.
06:46You know what's in that bag?
06:48Yeah.
06:49I'm going to go.
06:52Okay.
06:53I think you should, too.
06:59TJ.
07:10TJ.
07:11You know what to do?
07:14Swipe.
07:15Delete.
07:16Here's the thing.
07:17Cyrus.
07:17Cyrus.
07:19He really wants to talk.
07:21Shouldn't I at least hear him out?
07:22No.
07:23There's nothing he can say.
07:24He hangs out with people who play with their parents' guns.
07:29TJ's not sitting with his friends.
07:31I wonder why.
07:34I'm just going to do a quick walk by.
07:36Make sure he's okay.
07:39Is that something taken?
07:43How did you know I'd be here?
07:44I've been stopping by, seeing if I could get you without your bodyguards.
07:50I'm not supposed to hang out with you.
07:52I should go.
07:53Stay.
07:54I'll go.
07:55Can I at least say I'm sorry first?
07:56I didn't know Reed was going to bring you gone.
08:01I wouldn't have gone, and I definitely wouldn't have brought you.
08:05Now you hate me.
08:09Classic TJ.
08:11Anything good?
08:12I got to ruin it.
08:16TJ.
08:16You said you were going to apologize?
08:21I just did.
08:22Actually, you didn't.
08:23Yes, I did.
08:24I said I...
08:26You're right.
08:29Well, sorry for not saying sorry.
08:33So, you've apologized for not apologizing.
08:37But you still haven't apologized.
08:39You can be a little annoying, you know that?
08:41Well, you can be oblivious.
08:43Well, you can be very judgy.
08:45Well, you can be intimidating.
08:46You know what else you are?
08:47What?
08:49The only person I can talk to like this.
08:54Okay, if I say?
08:55Is that TJ?
09:01You came.
09:03Of course I came.
09:04Hey, I want to ask you.
09:05What you got going on for costume day?
09:07Costume day?
09:08You don't strike me as a costume day guy.
09:11I have layers.
09:12Anyway, I have this idea.
09:14Listening?
09:14Okay, so one person dresses up in board shorts, sunglasses, and flip-flops.
09:19And the other dresses up like a salt shaker.
09:21Oh, sea salt.
09:23That would have been good, but no.
09:25I don't know.
09:26Don't tell me.
09:26Don't tell me.
09:28Somersault.
09:28Bail.
09:30Bail.
09:30Bail.
09:31I think Andy will still be my friend if I bail on Mount Rushmore.
09:34For cancer?
09:35No.
09:37TJ wants to do a costume with me.
09:39You know how much Andy's been looking forward to this.
09:43I know, but TJ has a great idea.
09:47Somersault.
09:48It's our thing.
09:49I have a great idea for costume day.
09:51Basketball related, but it needs two people.
09:53Super simple.
09:54You in?
09:55I already have a costume.
09:56Oh.
09:58What is it?
10:00Oh, Cyrus and Eric are in Somersault.
10:02That costume idea is really cool.
10:04Nah, I'm sad.
10:06So you'd rather do a costume with Cyrus than with me?
10:09Okay.
10:10Have fun with that.
10:12How's your costume?
10:14Without you, this is embarrassingly straightforward.
10:16Yeah, I was gonna...
10:17Come on, Cupid.
10:18Let's see it.
10:22Double dribble.
10:23Get it?
10:25No, actually.
10:28Come on.
10:29Let's show the guys on your team.
10:31I'm sorry.
10:32Last-minute decision.
10:32I should have called.
10:34I'm sorry.
10:37Are they together now?
10:40I don't know.
10:41I haven't been hanging out with TJ lately.
10:43Because of that?
10:45They've been pretty much attached to him.
10:47In the back.
10:52They look happy.
10:54It won't last.
10:56Kira's not a nice person.
10:57It only took me a day to figure that out.
11:00Since he's a guy,
11:02he'll take longer.
11:03Hey.
11:05Hey.
11:06You avoiding me?
11:07Never.
11:09It kind of feels like it.
11:10You've been otherwise occupied.
11:14You're spending a lot of time with Kira.
11:16Not a lot.
11:18Some.
11:19Football cup.
11:20We're just hanging out.
11:21You two are clearly hitting it off.
11:23Which is great.
11:24I'm happy for you.
11:25Make it sound like we're a couple.
11:27We're not.
11:28That's not fair.
11:28Your legs are so much longer than mine.
11:30Yeah, I told you.
11:31Give me a minute.
11:32Just admit defeat.
11:33Never.
11:35I bet I can jump it further.
11:36Oh, you're about to be wrong again.
11:38Three.
11:40Two.
11:41One.
11:42Go.
11:43Woo.
11:44Did you see that?
11:45That was like...
11:46One.
11:46That was like you were like above your head on that one.
11:48Okay, that's mine.
11:49Definitely stop that on mine.
11:50That's not a line.
11:51What happened?
12:05He was with Kira.
12:07They're good together.
12:09I promise you, it won't last.
12:12That's the man said to the horse.
12:14Why the long face?
12:15I got a sub in the suit here in the student court tomorrow.
12:18Mr. Bag is making me go.
12:19Because you took his golf cart?
12:21It's a long walk to the PE field and I guess he really depends on his cup holders.
12:25But you just did it to help Buffy.
12:27You were being a nice guy.
12:29Yeah, a nice guy who might now get suspended or even kick off the basketball team.
12:33Is that serious?
12:36Then I'm going to be your lawyer.
12:38No, it's not that type of court.
12:40People don't have lawyers.
12:41They do now.
12:43We find the defendant, TJ Kippen, guilty on all counts.
12:50The system is broken.
12:52We demand an appeal.
12:54Stop fighting.
12:55I'll never stop.
12:56You did your best.
12:59But this part I have to face by myself.
13:00We hereby sentence him to the harshest punishment allowable by this court.
13:06I'm ready.
13:08Much time detention on Monday.
13:16That's it?
13:18Will you visit me while I'm on the inside?
13:20I'll bake you a cake with a hall passing in.
13:22Want a ride?
13:26Well, someone learned nothing from this time in the system.
13:29What can I say?
13:31I live on the edge.
13:32No, I live in the middle.
13:34Cool.
13:35I'll drug you.
13:36What happens if you get caught?
13:37You know what happens.
13:40I guess I could skip a lunch.
13:41You know why he's hanging out with you, don't you?
14:00No, do you?
14:01It's not because he likes her.
14:04You keep saying that, and yet.
14:11I'm sorry.
14:12I was probably deluding myself anyway.
14:18If I made you pick.
14:20Me?
14:21Or Cyrus?
14:23Pick Cyrus.
14:27Why do you do that?
14:29Make me pick.
14:30Cyrus never made me pick.
14:37TJ stands for...
14:42Thelonious...
14:44Jagger.
14:47Thelonious Jagger?
14:49Are you kidding?
14:51That is a great name!
14:54I love that name.
14:56You too?
14:57Yes.
14:58Yes.
14:58Is there anything else you want to know?
15:08Is there anything else you want to tell me?
15:12Yeah.
15:16Is there anything you want to tell me?
15:22Yes.
15:28Is there anything else you want to tell me?
15:29Yes.
15:30Is there anything else you want to tell me?
15:30Is there anything else you want to tell me?
15:30Is there anything else you want to tell me?
