How to Rock (2012) s01e10 Episode Script

This stew is not entirely unpleasant.
Ugh, it's not a stew, it's a burrito.
Then it's disgusting.
How can the lunch ladies take the burrito, The noblest of all rolled foods, And turn it into something that does this? Splat! You birds have got to be kidding me.
Kacey, now that you're part of gravity five, You have got to learn the ins and outs of our table.
If you want to avoid the poop, You have to learn Nelson's system.
I've taken into consideration.
The distance from the branch to the table, The direction of the wind, And the viscosity of the bird's output.
When you hear the tweet, you got 0.
7 seconds.
To remove your tray from the splatter zone.
Oh, come on.
That's just science nerd babble.
I'd prefer "science genius babble.
" All right, guys, We've been practicing our new song for a week.
Let's bust it out.
? here's how to be popular ? ? in a way that's so hot, you know ? ? to the tip of the top-ular ? ? it's strictly kick drum drop-ular ?.
Okay, I'm not complaining about being in gravity five, But I'd really love to sit at that table.
It sounds like you are complaining.
- It did sound like complaining.
- Absolutely.
If you want to go sit there, why can't you just sit there? Uh, it's the perf table.
I can't sit there anymore.
I dumped The Perfs.
Um, I thought The Perfs dumped you.
It's not important who dumped who.
The important thing is, I love being with you guys, But I hate that this is our table.
Okay, I'm new at this school.
Help me out What difference does it make where you sit? Where you sit at lunch is everything.
It defines your social status.
That table has it all.
It's in the middle of the courtyard.
It's the best place to perform.
And the cell reception? Is awesome.
Four bars.
Four bars? We don't get any over here.
Ugh, not true.
I can get a bar if I do this.
Yes! We have a bar.
How are you gonna take a call like that? It doesn't matter.
Nobody ever calls him but me.
And I can't call him from here 'cause I don't get any bars.
That table should be mine.
When I founded The Perfs, I handpicked it as the center of our empire.
I miss that table so much.
Social status shouldn't be about a table.
It should be about what you do at a table, Like playing our new song.
Let's bust it out.
Zander, it's a great new song, But nobody's gonna notice it.
Because we're not on center stage.
We're in a corner By the tray dump.
Kacey.
Molly.
So this is where you're sitting now.
Is this even part of the school? I'm gonna make your teeth not a part of your face.
Down, Stevie.
What do you want, Molly? Oh, I was just curious if you could see.
How much fun we have at the perf table from here.
Oh, and how about that? You can.
Hi, Grace! Hi, Molly! What are you doing over there? Is that even school property? Apparently.
I should go.
It's a little gross over here.
Okay, first of all, it is not gross over here.
And second, let's bust out our new song.
Splat! Gravity five, we are getting my table back.
? Only You Can Be You ? only I can be me ? you always want to be what you're not ? ? can't you be happy with what you've got? ? ? you're perfect the way you are ? ? with your insecurities, doubts, and scars ? ? your life's too short to worry ? ? don't you know it's true ? ? Only You Can Be You ? only I can be me ? Only You Can Be You ? only I can be me ? Only You Can Be You ? only I can be me ? Only You Can Be You ? only I can be me.
? I can be me.
I know The Perfs' schedule.
Molly gets out of class at 12:22.
She stops by the perf bathroom.
For a lip gloss and outfit change at 12:24, Putting her arrival at the lunch table at exactly 12:27.
You do understand why I hated you before, right? Totally.
Now, we have two minutes to get to that table.
Move, move, move! What the no! Why are you guys here so early? Oh, hi, Kacey.
I saw you eyeing my table and know you know my schedule.
And that you'd be expecting me here at exactly 12:27.
So I did my lip gloss and wardrobe change before algebra.
Smart, right? Yeah.
Look, Kacey, I know it must be killing you.
To see me sitting on your throne, But if it makes you feel any better, No one even remembers you since you've joined loser five.
Now, Perfs, watch the table.
I want to get a massage in before bio.
We're gonna need a better plan.
Yeah, let's go.
Kacey, it's 6:30 in the morning.
I should be drooling on my pillow.
You'll see.
When that table is ours, it'll be so worth it.
Don't you people sleep? Nice try, Kacey.
Isn't technology great? I'm still at home, enjoying my morning yoga.
And as a bonus, I get to see the look on your face right now.
Looks like someone missed out on her beauty sleep.
It's not that easy, Kacey.
You know what to do.
So get out there and do it.
Okay.
Hey, Stevie! Hello, Zander! Is that the seaweed moisturizer I've been hearing so much about? Yes, it is, Zander.
This moisturizer is so soothing, You'll feel like you're being massaged.
By a thousand tiny seaweed people.
- That sounds remarkable.
- I know.
If only you had free samples.
- But I do.
- What? Free samples! Oh, they're all here! Look at how colorful they are, guys.
Yeah.
The table is ours! - Whoo! - Ha! And it feels so good.
What is going on? Justice.
I took my throne back.
Using the old moisturizer diversionary tactic, Executed to perfection, if I might add.
Thank you.
In your face.
- Ooh.
- Boom.
- Ho-ho-ho.
Well played.
Let's go, Grace.
Okay, time to bust out our new song.
Oh, you know what? I probably shouldn't've taken this off the table.
Silly me.
Oh, no.
- No.
- Oh! Kacey, your first mistake was thinking I use moisturizer.
I don't.
I'm naturally supple.
And I don't like seaweed.
Fish pee in the ocean.
These are designer jeans! Stop laughing.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
You're making us come to school at night? Really? Look at it, The way it glimmers in the moonlight.
Actually, I think it's kind of cool.
Who am I kidding? It's kind of freaking me out.
Come on.
Sit down.
So here's the thing, guys.
If we're serious about getting this table, We have to take extreme measures.
And that's why you guys have to stay here at the table.
Until tomorrow morning.
- What? - Are you crazy? Hm, I was afraid you were going to say that.
That's why I handcuffed you to the table.
No way.
How did you do that? I'm so sorry, guys.
But, I mean, I had no choice.
Imagine how cool we'll be, Sitting there at the table in the middle of everything, Playing our songs.
And tomorrow is pizza day.
Pizza day? Oh, yeah.
Ugh.
I love pizza day.
But we can't stay here all night.
Yeah, Nelson's right.
It'll be scary.
Yeah.
Not if you've got Mikey the manatee.
You brought me Mikey? You still sleep with a stuff animal? And I brought you something too.
Captain blanky! Yay! Thank you so much.
I love you.
- We love you too.
- We love you too.
I was talking to the table.
But yeah, I love you guys too.
You still sleep with a blanky? Ugh.
He's Captain blanky.
Show some respect.
Look I know it's been a year, But the fact that we have a school rooster.
Still kind of freaks me out.
What are you doing with Mikey manatee? What are you doing with Captain blanky? Look, you're bending Mikey's butt fin! You've got the Captain all wadded up! What we got today, Betty? It's pizza day.
Pizza day? Ugh, that's so much work.
I know.
All that dough rolling and everything.
Let's dump everything into a pot.
Pizza stew.
Bingo.
No.
No, they can't do this on pizza day.
They are doing this on pizza day.
Oh, my gosh.
You did it.
You actually did it.
You got me my table.
My heroes.
No.
No, this can't be happening! What's wrong with him? The lunch ladies are making pizza day pizza stew day.
Pizza day is my everything.
It's my once-a-week cheesy, saucy Christmas.
They can't kill saucy Christmas.
They can't.
They can't! They ca Get a grip on yourself, man.
You're losing sight of the big picture.
We have the table.
The table.
Oh, how I've missed you.
It was so hard being away.
I promise, that other table meant nothing to me.
Weirding me out here.
Stay strong, my heroes.
I'll be back after Spanish.
Hasta la vista.
Well, at least we're her heroes.
How many heroes do you see handcuffed to a table? Happy pizza day, fellas! Guess again.
The lunch ladies are making pizza stew instead.
Andy? Andy? Oh, he's gone into shock! Sit him down.
What are we gonna do? I'll tell you what we're not gonna do.
We're not gonna take this.
When they turned my burrito into stew, I did nothing.
And when they turned my chicken fingers into blech, I kept my cool.
But now they're messing with pizza day? They might as well be messing with my mama.
And nobody messes with my mama.
Make the foam into a little heart.
No, wait.
A flower.
An orchid.
Okay, that's just a blob.
Never mind.
I'll drink it.
Why am I so nice? Good morning, Molly.
Grace, why aren't you at the table? Oh, uh, funny story.
Got there at 7:00 and Get to the funny part because I'm not laughing yet.
They got the table.
- What? - Gravity five.
How could you let this happen? My instructions were so simple.
Team sparkle enters the courtyard from the West Team glitter resupplies them with smoothies at 0800.
And waits for team dazzle to approach from the gym.
It couldn't be simpler.
But they stayed there all night! Aha.
I underestimated Kacey's resolve.
Apparently, she thinks she can make me look like a fool.
Let's move.
Um, Molly? Let's move.
Good morning, Molly.
See you at lunch.
Oh, wait.
That's right.
I won't, because you'll be sitting off-campus.

A protest song.
