If you want Tina to put you down, then Tina can put you down.
(gasps) Let's hit it! (mouthing) - It's okay.
- Yeah, thank you.
I just wanted this whole thing to be for Sophie, and for me, and for the whole neighborhood, I wanted it.
And I could really see it this whole time, I could really envision it.
But, um Now I just, you know, like I mean, my daughter won't even talk to me.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Those two things have nothing to do with each other.
You can be a working mom and, you know, that's not the reason why you weren't there today.
Those are separate things.
Yeah, and, uh, I'm I'm sure that we can all, you know, brainstorm a new idea.
- Yeah.
- Alex: Um I wonder if there's, like, even like an act or something we could book who could come in and, like, we could pay someone, pay an act? It's guys, it's, um Thank you for all, um I think I'm just done with the school.
I think I just can't.
I can't right now.
(sobbing) When everything we felt fails Then some music soft and distant sails And blue water turns to I don't wanna go to school today.
A place that I can't get to A place That I can't - Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey! - Brett: What's going on? What happened to school today? Oh, she didn't want to go to school.
Hm.
Well, that's understandable.
I'm not going back until my casts are off.
What!? Are you crazy? Those casts are awesome.
I don't want my friends to see me.
I look like a monster.
Oh, sweetheart.
I told you that you don't look like a monster.
Baby, okay.
You wanna just hang out for a minute? - Can you help us move this thing? - Yeah.
But, I mean, where exactly are we gonna put this? I don't know.
I feel like we just at this point, maybe just put it in a Dumpster.
We just gotta get it out of here.
Sophie: What is this? (all laugh) - It's a sandworm! - Sophie: It's very cool.
- Where did it come from? - Alex and I made it.
You made this? What for? It's for the show.
Uh, it was We were gonna make a puppet show called Dune, and, uh, it was for Mama's school.
Wait, all this stuff was for Mama's school? Uh, yeah.
Mom, I wanna go to your school.
(laughs) Brett: All right.
We'll do do an "on three.
" One, two, three.
Michelle: Wait.
I think I've got it.
- Tina: What? - I the the way to save the school.
It's it's Dune! - Wait, I don't do that to me.
- No, no, no, no! But it's not Dune.
It's it's an educational, interactive theater show.
For the kids.
It's gonna be built by the kids with us, the teachers.
Oh, my God.
We're gonna tear this all down and rebuild it all.
- We are? - Yes.
But we have less than 24 hours before the vote.
All right, here we go.
Timber! Coming down.
I want you to do blue right here.
- Okay.
- Brett: All right.
Let's keep it moving, guys.
Clock's tickin'.
Oh, my God! Dude, you're scaring me! - You got it? You got it? - I got it.
I think it's gonna make it a lot easier for me to just touch base with each and every person before the vote.
How do we feel about the flowers? 'Cause I really think that Let me show you what it's gonna be.
- I don't - So basically, you want to pull this up - to your crotch properly.
- That's great.
That feels great.
Yeah! All right, guys.
First draft is here.
See what you think.
Get your eyes on it.
Good.
You should put a xylophone and then music boxes right there.
Ah! Can you come help with one more thing? Hey, guys.
We have reinforcements.
- Hi! - Brett: Hey, guys.
Alex: There he is! Come on, guys! (overlapping chatter) This is gonna be the mask and box, it's blue on the outside.
That's where all the good dragons live.
And that is my dad's mask, and that is what my dad's suit's gonna be.
(soft harp music plays) (indistinct chatter) You know, they are a little expensive, but I think, you know, it's worth it, right, to have some quality food? Salad is so good here.
They did really good canapes.
Have you tried it? So good.
You guys, thank you so much.
Great to see you.
Okay.
Yeah? Merci! Merci beaucoup! This is so exciting.
Our big vote is in about an hour now, but I just wanted to thank you all so much for coming out a little early, and just making a night out of this, right? (applause) Tonight, you all are going to be making the choice of just what kind of school you want to send your children to.
And I cannot speak to this nebulous art school concept that my colleague has somewhat cobbled together, but what I can speak to is the heart of Le Petit Village.
(applause) Elegance.
Excellence.
Discipline.
Prestige.
(Sophie roaring) These are the pillars that we are going to build our school on, and it's going to be such (Sophie roaring) a rich foundation.

It is a new place, and we are looking for children, wise, knowing, creative children, to lead us to our destiny.
(rhythmic tapping) (electronic tone plays) However, evil forces threaten our way of life from all sides.
(squawks) Ca-caw! We must protect our new planet! For without us to save her, she will surely die.
(squawks) Alex: How will we stop them? I need your help, children! (Tina squawks) Go away! Back! (Tina squawks) (roars) Children, join us! Join the fight for our new planet! Who's with me? (Tina squawks) I wanna destroy the dragon! And him! (squawks) Help, children.
I need your help.
(Tina squawking) Alex: Yes! Come, little ones.
Bring me down to this planet.
My anti-gravitational pull is strong! Brett: All right, tunic up! Dragons! Alex: Quick, dragons, to the rescue! Now that we are safe, we must settle our planet.
