Now, what I need you to do is-- Sinjin! - don't talk.
You'll ruin it.

- and that's how the dream Always ends.
- dude, you know All those cool props And scenery pieces you made For the play Beck was in Last month? - yeah.
- I need you to build Something for me.
- like what? - something big enough For me to hide in and spy On the ping pong team During their next practice Because I swear, There's something wonky Going on with those guys And I'm gonna get To the bottom of the wonk! - do you know What you sprayed me with 'cause I'm starting to lose Vision in my right eye? - here's a rag.

- yay! Thanks, sinjin.
- here comes that feeling.
- I heard that.
- here we go.
- yeah.
- oh, my God.
- man, this is the best Ping pong practice ever.
- I love this game.
- wait.
Wait, wait.
Don't lean on me.
- oh.
That was a foul.
- you're foul.
- oh.
That tickles.
- okay.
Let's start over.
- all right.
- okay, okay.
Wait.
Let me get a drink first.
- yeah, me too.
- ah.
- what's wrong? - I think I pulled a muscle.
- you can't pull What you don't have.
- what up with this machine? It ate my dollar.
- all right.
Let the doctor handle this.
- go doc.
- guys, guys, try rocking it.
- all right.
- whoa.
Did that machine just scream Like a teenage girl? - all right.
Who put me in the soda machine? - I got it.
I got it.
Buzz off! - why were you hiding in there Spying on us? - 'cause I had a feeling You guys' ping pong team Was just a big fake And I was right.
You weren't practicing Ping pong.
You were playing Retro party games.
So what is up? - let's just tell her.
- no.
- yes.
- I think we should tell her.
- why don't we just drive her Out to the desert And drop her off? - Rex! - she knows too much.
- tell her.
- there's no real Ping pong team.
- then what's this all about? - well, it all started Two years ago when the school Put that ping pong table In this room.
We just walked in, And there it was.
Then Robbie suggested That we form An official ping pong team Here at Hollywood arts To compete Against other schools.
- so I slapped Robbie hard On top of his head.
- it really hurt.
It really hurt.
- I heard that.
So? - so a few days later, Me, andre, jade and Robbie Were hangin' out.
- when cat walked up.
- she was all pumped up About some fancy restaurant Her parents took her To the weekend before.
- they had amazing steaks And crab cakes And lobster mashed potatoes And classy live music, And the most insane desserts I had ever tasted.
- which all sounded Pretty good to us.
- so I said, "well, we gotta go there.
" - and I told Robbie There was no way We could go there 'cause it's really expensive.
- where is this story going? - it actually gets weirder.
- you see, when cat told us That the restaurant Was too expensive - I remembered something Beck had told me About all the sports teams At Hollywood arts Getting a minimum of $1,500 To pay for travel and equipment.
And that's when I got the idea.
- well, what was the idea? - oh, right, I was telling a story.
I said, "maybe we should form "a fake ping pong team, "take the 1,500 bucks "and use the money for all of us "to have a fancy dinner "at the restaurant Cat told us about.
" - at first, we thought Jade's idea was crazy.
- but after we exchanged Some looks - we started to think It might be a pretty cool idea.
- but then Robbie said, "wait.
" - I reminded everyone That all sports teams Are required to have At least one faculty advisor.
- so we went to The only teacher we could trust.
- sikowitz.
- but he told us our plan Was way too devious and illegal.
- but then he said, "hey, did you hear "that principal eikner Might get fired?" - help me.
- see, the principal's boss - the superintendent.
- Was mad 'cause Hollywood arts didn't have Any winning sports teams.
- and he told principal eikner, "at least one team "better bring home "a trophy this year Or else you're fired.
" - so I said to sikowitz, What if the five of us Six.
Six of us, pretend to go To a ping pong tournament - take the 1,500 bucks The school gives us - use 400 of it to buy A nice trophy for the school - which would keep Principal eikner From getting fired - and then use The rest of our money To take our favorite teacher To the restaurant Cat told us about - and have the most amazing Dinner of our lives.
- and then, Sikowitz was on board.
- so you guys formed A fake ping pong team So you could get some money, Buy a trophy for the school, Save the principal's job And take sikowitz out For a big, fancy dinner? - yeah, I guess we could Have just told it that way.
- so, are you gonna bust us now And ruin everything? - no.
If - if what? - and I'm very proud To announce the newest member Of the Hollywood arts Ping pong team, Tori "the paddlepus" vega.
Now, wish us all luck And hopefully we'll bring home Yet another first place trophy For Hollywood arts.
- yeah! - all team members in my van.
