Clone High (2023) s02e04 Episode Script

The Principal Principle: Sub Zero to Sub Hero

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) ♪
NARRATOR: Previously
on a very special Clone High.
It's no secret JFK found God.
It was a secret that Harriet
and Toussaint had eye sex,
until Confucius found out.
Harriet and Joan's friendship
is still a secret.
So please don't tell anyone,
'cause it could get traced
back to me and I'd lose my job.
And you'd have to live
with knowing you're the reason
I moved back in with my mom
and her boyfriend, Chip,
-who's younger than me.

(SIGHS) Hacky sack. What a game.
Got an extra pair

Go away, Joan! This is the only

and we're not wasting it on you.

(CROWD CHEERING)
(SIGHS) Hi, only friends
I have in the world.
Joan! There you are.
We need you.
Well, at least someone does.
We're replacing
the school's spaghetti
-with venomous snakes.
-(SNAKE HISSES)
Uh-huh. Come on, help us pour
marinara sauce on these guys!
(GASPS) Don't worry,
they're not (GIBBERISH)
Quick, Ivan,
suck out the poison!
Okay. (SLURPS)
(THUDS)
(GROANS)
All right, Scudworth. I'll be
out doing errands all day.
(GROANS)
Traffic's gonna be hell.
It's Burrito Emporium's
annual free burrito day.
Oh, is it?
I didn't know about that.
Did you know about that, Mr. B?
About Burrito Emporium's
annual free burrito day?
Obviously not.
I'll be back around three.
I trust you two can hold down
the fort while I'm gone?
-Absolutely. We've got this.
-You can count on us.
-We're very reliable.
-Do not worry about us.
-(HEELS CLICKING, DOOR CLOSING)
-She's gone!
PRINCIPAL SCUDWORTH:
Time to blow each other!
Quick, blow yourself! Blow!
MR. B: I'm blowing as hard
as I can.
-I don't have lungs.
-(BLOWS) No excuses!
Commence Operation
Free Burrito Day!
Once our decoys have inflated,
we have roughly five hours
to snag burritos
before Candide returns.
The more burritos
we get for school lunches,
the more money we can siphon
from our food budget
to fund Cloney Island!
-(BLOWS)
-(COUGHS)
Joan! This isn't
what it looks like!
These are sex dolls.
For sex and no other reason.
-(SCREAMING)
-(POPS)
The plan has blown up
in your face.
Maybe we should ask Joan
to be Principal for the Day?
Principal for the Day?
Can I make people
who hate me listen to me?
Are you kidding? That's like the
number one thing principals do.
That and making sex dolls
of ourselves.
Listen, you've got the job!
Joan of Arc, I hereby declare
you Principal for the Day!
Now you'll need
a Vice Principal.
Someone of low status,
a straw man, a flaccid fool
to take the fall.
Mr. B, can you help?
My zipper's stuck.
Luckily, no wiener this time.
Just a bit of sack.
You there, lonely boy
with your fly open!
You shall be Joan's
Vice Principal!
Hmm, I don't think I can work
with Joan. She tried to kill us,
and honestly that kind of
creates some trust issues.
Ultimately, it's about
self-respect--
Oh, my God, I'm Vice Principal!
(CHUCKLES)
Is this some sort of
satin-like vinyl?
It's insanely comfortable,
and so lightweight and shiny!
Sounds like we're good here.
Now, if someone calls, you need
to answer the phone as me.
So I've loaded up a bunch
of my most commonly used phrases
onto this electric piano.
Somebody Scud me! Scud's ahoy!
Scuddy don't play that!
Such clever
and relevant wordplay.
You're in charge
of the students today.
Do with them as you wish,
as long as there are no parties!
That includes house, tea,
garden, cocktail,
gender reveal, block, stag,
political, album release,
Donner, and dinner!
Defy these orders and I will
send you straight to a place
worse than a Disney cruise
with extended family.
(BEEPS)
-Clone Juvie.
-(GASPS)
JOAN OF ARC: Mussolini?
ABE LINCOLN: Stalin?
JOAN: Gaddafi?
And is that Baby Patrick Swayze?
MR. B: It is. He's actually a
delightful clone,
but his dancing is beyond dirty.
Especially for a baby.
The Bleacher Creatures have
nothing on these guys.
Cross me and things could get
much worse for you, Joan.
Got it? Toodles!
Okay, sounds like a piece
of cake.
As long as we don't have
a party.
We are so gonna have a party!

Hey, bae, how you doing after,
you know, I had optical
intercourse with Toussaint?
-I'm completely fine!
-Oh, thank goodness,
'cause it would kill me
if you were feeling bad.
Toussaint is so not
my type, by the way.
He's, like, super buff
and really masculine.
He's stoic and tough
and strong
(OBJECTS CLATTERING)
and I'm not into that at all!
I'm into you!
My sweet, gangly Confucius.
Don't worry.
It will never happen again.
You just totally looked at him!
-(GASPS)
-With your eyes!
Babe, I don't feel a thing
for Toussaint. I promise!
Please tell me you believe me.
You have to!
Okay, I believe you.
I knew we'd get through this.
Okay, I gotta go to history.
But promise me you're fine?
Totally fine.
-HARRIET TUBMAN: Bye, bae!
-Bye!
I. Am. So. Not. Fine!
(GRUNTS)
What's wrong, bud?
Harriet keeps saying
she's not into the whole
"manly Toussaint thing,"
but part of me wonders
if maybe she is. (CRIES)
Well, I'm pretty sure
the Christian thing to do
is cut her eyes out.
Trust me,
I'm a former serial cheater.
Harriet's only gonna cheat
again.
It's like that saying,
"Cheater, cheater,
pumpkin fucker."
She's gonna fuck
a bunch more pumpkins.
And Halloween's coming soon!
No! (SOBBING)
Well, if Frida cheated on me,
I would take her to the dump,
and then dump her.
And then take a dump near her,
just to really get
the point across.
You're wild, boo.
No, you need to man up!
Be like Jesus.
He is ripped.
I'm reading this illustrated
Bible right now.
I mean, check him out.
The guy wore a Speedo
even when he was dying.
You're right.
I need to out-manly Toussaint.
I got a chin.
I can stand up straight.
I can cross my arms
like a real estate agent
on a bus bench advertisement.
I'll show Harriet
that I'm the manliest man!
SCUDWORTH: Attention!
This is definitely
Principal Scudworth!
Party in my pants!
Joan, I'm a little worried
about having a party.
Especially given
Scudworth's "no party" rule.
No, no. This is more
of a small gathering.
Former friends hopefully
becoming friends again.
Okay, as long as it's just
a small gathering.
SCUDWORTH: The following clones
report to the library.
H H Harriet!
-Frida! Confucius!

JFK. Cleo. Scud it out!

Say hi to my fat butt. Toodles!

-(CROWD LAUGHING)
FRIDA: A smoke machine?
This is legit!
JFK: You know, I shoulda
come to the liberry before!
Finally, something worth
"checking out"!
Principal Scudworth did this?
Maybe I misjudged him.
Surprise! Scudworth had nothing
to do with this.
He made me
Principal for the Day,
and I invited you all here.
So maybe you misjudged me.
You are so not cool, Joan!
The sight of your stupid face
makes me want to vomit enough
vomit to rival Niagara Falls!
I don't mean that. I love you,
you know it, you get it,
we're secret friends. Bye!
Look, what do you say
we hang out and and chill,
you know,
and just let bygones be bygones?
Nice try,
you crafty little bitch.
Gotta respect the effort,
though.
See ya!
Uh
Okay, that's locked
to keep other people out,
not to keep you in.
Everyone here is free to go
-at any time.
-We want to go.
But not yet! Come on, guys!
Joan, locking doors
is in violation
of code 36 dash 11 B
in the Vice Principal Handbook--
-(MUNCHES, GULPS)
-Well, that's just great.
No, no. Trust me, it's gonna be
so much better in here
than out there.
I've got liqueur-filled
chocolates.
-Thank God.
-I knew that would work.
No. They've got a keg.

What do we do?
Grab a leg

-What?
JOAN: That's an order,
Vice Principal!

ABE: Joan,
we've lost all control!
I'm trying to break
the conga line from within
-but it's too powerful!

Just go with it, Abe!
Everyone's having a good time,
and it's because of me!
That's all that matters!
Joan, on behalf of the Bleacher
Creatures, I just wanted to say,
-thank you.
-Oh, great!
You guys are here!
We've never been to a party
with the general population
before.
Do you think now's the best time
to test the waters or
Are you kidding?
A fellow Bleacher Creature
is Principal for the Day?
There couldn't be a better time.
I brought snakes!
(GROANS) No, I hate snakes.
Seriously, Joan?
They're not staying, are they?
You know what, guys?
I've actually got something
super cool to show you.
Come with me.

This, my friends,
is the VIP room.

Seriously? I have never been

Yeah, it's super-duper

Only for the best of the best.
So, you know, just stay put.
I'll be back with
the velvet ropes,
the wrist bands,
and the hand stamps.
Sick.
CONFUCIUS: (GROANS)
Crap on a crapper!
Toussaint brought
his pet falcon!
(SCREECHES)
How the hell am I gonna prove
I'm more manly than a dude
with a bird?
You can't beat Toussaint
in a manliness contest.
No, you can win!
It's like David versus Goliath.
Goliath was a giant manly man.
And David was a little boy
in sandals.
But David had a secret weapon,
a slingshot!
He chucked a stone,
and he busted
that giant's skull
wide open. (CHUCKLING)
Hmm, what is my stone?
Let's see here.
A stone comes from a rock,
paper covers rock.
Paper makes cuts.
Cut the cheese.
Cheesy bread.
Bread is made from dough,
doe is a deer, a female deer.
Ray is a drop of golden sun.
Son of a bitch.
Bitches are snitches
who get stitches.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Workin' nine to five.
I never have to work
'cause my parents are rich,
which makes me rich!
That's it. I'll use my money
to make myself more manly!
Worked for Jeff Bezos
and his penis rocket.
It'll work for you!

Thank you kindly!
You won't be seeing us
again today.
It's one free burrito
per customer,
and we've received our one!
Transaction complete.

Aye, laddie.
This is it, Mr. B! Once we
collect these final burritos,
we'll be back to school
well before Candide comes back--
CANDIDE SAMPSON: Okay, he'll
have the carnie ass-uh-duh.
You want it rare?
-(HISSES)
-Rare.
Oh, no. What's she doing here?
Let's do what these burritos
are gonna do to our bodies.
Runs!
We can't run now!
Every free burrito gets us
closer to our dream
of Cloney Island.
We must trust the disguises.
One last score.
(GASPS) Wait a minute.
Do I know you two?
(IN SCOTTISH ACCENT)
Us? No, sorry, lassie.
I could have sworn
You just resemble two of my most
untrustworthy employees.
(IN SCOTTISH ACCENT)
Oh, nay, lass.
We work at Loch Ness.
And whereabouts in Scotland
is that?
When you leave the airport,
go left.
Around the middle,
don't you know.
That's not far
from the west coast,
which is also the
east coast, to be fair.
Over the hills

I got him perfectly trained.
Um, fetch me a beer, Kevin?

Hey, um, love the bear.
Just wanna make sure
it's not gonna kill everyone?

Kevin's not stepping out of line
on my watch.
Oh, okay, cool.
'Cause I'm taking a pretty big
risk throwing this party,
and adding a bear to that mix
kind of increases that risk.
But, hey, happy to do it
for my friends.

We are friends again, right?
CLEOPATRA: Not so fast, Joan.
Jesús Cristo wants
to turn the water fountain
into a wine fountain,
but Abe's telling him he can't.
It's fine! Tell him it's fine!
Joan, Jesús said he doesn't know
how to turn it back into water!
What if it stays wine forever?
