A Tale of Two Houses

Cody? What are you doin' in the gym? If you're lookin' for the library, it's down the hallway, and take a left at the nerd.
No.
I'm here for tryouts.
I'm sure some team will appreciate my plucky stick-to-itiveness.
Try football.
You could play left "plucky.
" Ha ha! You think you're so great just because you were the star of the middle school basketball team.
[Sighs.]
Not true.
All-star.
"All.
" Say it with me, Cody.
"All-star.
" Ne-ver.
And you better watch the attitude.
I hear the coach is really tough.
Oh, please.
How tough could he be? Somethin' you wanna say to me? Uh, no coach Mountain.
It's coach little.
[Giddy laugh.]
Little.
[Clears throat.]
You know, it's, uh, just that your name is "little," and you're so Not.
[Scoffs.]

Your highness.
Uh, I'm pretty good at free throws.
All right.
Get on the line.
All right.
Should I, uh, do this with my eyes open or closed? You're pretty cocky.
Well, it's not cocky if you're good.
All right.
Well, let's see how you shoot under a little pressure.
Brick! Brick! Brick! Brick! Brick! Bri-brick! That was weird.

Hello.
Hello, hello, hello.

It's blue.
[Applause.]
Now, uh, let's see who's got the stuff.
Ooh.
I love stuff.
Ok, twins.
Twins.
Let's do this.
5, 6 Jam and biscuits, scones and tea we will beat you "a" to "z" go, team really go See, y-you'd never see Barbara trying out for cheerleading.
She's way too intellectual for that.
Look, Cody! My pompoms match my glitter! Barbara, what are you doin' here? Oh, well, I'm in high school now, and I wanna show people that there's more to me than just math and science.
Barbara, you don't wanna go out there flouncin' around, wearin' some short, tight little skirt.
Go and get 'em, honey, and don't take no for an answer.
Barbara: Hi.
My routine is based on a poem by the great William Butler yeats.
Yikes.
I will arise and go now [Mouthing words.]
And go to innisfree.
Ok.
Can't see.
Next! That was great, honey.
Heh.
No one got hurt.
We should go.
[Girl giggles.]
Hi.
Hi.
I'm Leslie.
Heh.
I'm a transfer.
I was a cheerleader at our lady of perpetual sorrow.
Oh.
Now I see why she was so sad.
I was the one that convinced them to get the shorter skirts.
Heh.
Ankles.
Right.
Ok.
Give me a "c" give me an "h" Give me a, "why?" Huh? Next! Oh.
Ok.
Hi.
I'm trying out for cheerleading because my parents say this'll be a great way for me to overcome my shyness and learn to trust others.
Ohh.
That's so sweet.
Next! Bonjour, everyone.
London is here.
Prepare to be dazzled.
Ok.
Let's see what you can do.
That's it? You need to move.
But I love where I live.
Next! Oh, hey.
How were the tryouts? Terrible.
I didn't make the cheerleading squad, and I did this.
I didn't make the squad either.
Well, give me a "duh.
" This is the worst day ever.
That head cheerleader Dana is a total snob.
Ooh, I hate her.
I caught her flirting with my boyfriend, and if she keeps it up, she's gonna be eatin' one of her own pompoms.
Girls, don't be too upset about not making the cheerleading squad.
They're just a bunch of elitist, stuck-up airheads.
You forgot man stealers.
Somebody didn't make their cheerleading squad in high school.
I didn't wanna be a cheerleader anyway.
Lousy elitist, stuck-up airheads.
You forgot man stealers.
Well, no one is gonna stop me from cheering.
You know, when daddy can't buy a company, he starts a rival company which puts the first company out of business.
So you're gonna liquidate the cheerleaders? You know, that's not a bad idea.
We could start our own squad.
[Gasps.]
Cody, why don't you be a cheerleader with us? Because I have hair on my chest.
Or I will one day.
You know, Cody, not all cheerleaders are girls.
Some of them are handsome young men who have gone on to highly successful careers in the hospitality industry.
Let me guess.
You were on your high school cheerleading squad.
[Mutters.]
On my high school-- captain! And might I add, cheerleading has made me the man I am today.
Short and fussy? Well-dressed and your boss.
[Mouths words.]
And I would not dissuade this young gentleman from pursuing this all-American activity.
I don't know, Mr.
moseby.
Cheerleading? Mm, you're right.
Girls in skirts and lots of physical contact.
Eww.
Sounds terrible.
Ah, I see.
Mmm.
Ladies, allow me to be the base of your pyramid.
Fine.
If the three of you wanna enslave yourselves to the evil cult of cheer, go right ahead.
Whoa.
Someone give me a "b," give me a "I," give me a t-e-r.
What does that spell? "Biter.
" I meant to spell "bitter.
" You know, that's pretty close for London.
Yeah, yeah.
Good block.
Good block.
Uh You know, I thought we were still just warmin' up, but, you know, good block.
You know, Zack, I'm really glad you're on this team.
Ah, thanks, Rick.
That way, I'm not the worst one.
Welcome, rebel cheerleaders.
Ahh! Oh, I love that.
At perpetual sorrow, we weren't allowed to raise our arms above our waist.
I feel like such a bad girl.
Quick! Let's form a pyramid.
Uh, I guess I'm on top.
Ok, now I'm gonna put-- now straighten your back.
Ok, forget the pyramid.
Maybe we should try a pentahedron.
It's a more stable structure.
Ha ha! What do you guys think you're doing? Cheering! No, seriously.
There you are, miss highty-tighty.
Vance broke up with me last night.
I hope you enjoy kissin' him with 2 fat lips.
Uh, well, it's not my fault vance wants to date a cheerleader.
Oh, big deal.
Anybody can do this.
Or this.
Or this.
[Applause.]
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Only if you're thinking how cute I look in this outfit.
Actually, I believe Barbara was thinking that nia would make a great addition to our squad.
Ah ha ha ha! Yeah.
She'd be perfect.
A loser on the loser squad.
Oh.
You like spirit? You're 'bout to become one.
No, not the nose.
It was a birthday present.
So if you're not afraid of a little competition, why don't we have a cheer-off? Fine.
Friday.
At halftime of the first basketball game, we'll both do a cheer.
And may the best squad win.
Proper grammar is "the better squad.
" And you're on! Girl.
[Laughter.]
[Blows whistle.]
All right, bring it in.
All right, this is the lineup for the first game.
Dudley, Monroe Yes.
Jordan, Blake, and crowley.
All right, hit the showers.
So, coach little, what am I, sixth man? No.
Seventh? No.
Eighth? Oh, no.
Feel free to stop me at any time.
I will when you get there, ok? Hey, honey.
How was practice? Were they impressed by air Zack? Air Zack was grounded.
Oh.
Sweetie, I'm sorry.
Maybe tomorrow'll be better.
Oh, yeah.
Tomorrow will definitely be better, because I'm going to quit.
Oh, look, Zack, I know you're used to being the star in basketball and that this is tough, but I hate to see you quit the first time things get difficult.
[Sighs.]
Well, what else can I do? Well, let's see.
You could wow them with your plucky stick-to-itiveness.
Why don't you and Cody just embroider that on a pillow? All right, my point is that hard work pays off eventually.
But the decision is yours.
You can try, or you can quit.
You're right.
I quit.
Changed my mind.
The choice is not yours.
Then why'd you say it was? Because I was hoping you'd make the right choice.
[Sighs.]
You'll thank me later.
Well, how much later? London: Ooh! There's Steve.
On my cue.
Go! Steve, Steve, he's our man if he can't carry that luggage, no one can We are good.
Yes.
[Mimicking london.]
No, we're not.
What is going on here? We're practicing for our cheer-off against the real cheerleaders.
Sorry, Uncle Marion.
We need all the practice we can get.
Ah, what you need is someone schooled in the art of crowd mood enhancement.
Huh? Huh? Cheerleading.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Look, if we are going to win that cheer-off, we need to play to our strengths.
Ok? Now, what special talent can you bring to the squad? I'm rich! Hmm.
Good.
You can buy the uniforms.
Now, what are the rest of you good at? Chemistry.
A.
P.
Chemistry.
Organic chemistry.
Hiding.
Who said that? I did.
I once went 4 weeks without anyone finding me.
I got a feelin' nobody was lookin' for her.
[Crowd cheering.]
Whoo! Oh! Oh! Let's do the wave! Let's do the wave! Ready? [Cheering.]
They are so going to embarrass themselves at the cheer-off.
Why aren't you playing, Zack? Well, you know being British and all, you probably don't know much about basketball, but, um, they usually save the best players for last.
Whoa.
Then you must be the best.
Oh, I'm so good, I might not even get in.
Ooh.
Ooh.
[Blows whistle.]
Hey, Zack, get over here.
Later, Rick.
It's Zack time.
Oh, you won't regret this, coach.
I'm ready and warmed up.
Good, 'cause I'm countin' on you.
Run and get me a frosty grape soda.
Sugar-free.
[Blows whistle.]
Ooh.
Ohh.
Yes! Another one down.
I am that much closer to gettin' in the game.
Martin, let's go.
Oh, see, honey, I told you if you stuck with it, it'd pay off.
A mother knows.
Not you.
Martin Beckman.
Come on.
Hurry up.
Ahh, what does a mother know? [Whistle blows.]
[Horn blows.]
Let's go.
Aw, great, mom.
It's halftime, and I haven't played yet.
Am I allowed to quit now? No.
You made a commitment to your teammates.
Plus I put money in the meter for 2 hours.
P.
A.
: And now the halftime cheever cheerleader cheer-off.
Ok, girls.
Let's work it.
Come on.
Oh, watch and weep, losers.
Oh, we'll see who be weepin' when you watch us, because we'll be the ones watching.

Well, we'll see who the losers are when you lose and we win, making us the winners of winnertown and you're the losers of losertown.
Huh? You loser.
[Chuckles.]

You're in the game.
Really.
That's great.
I won't let you down, coach.
Good.
You ready? Oh, yeah.
You gonna guard number 53.
You mean the-- the really, really big kid? Uh, you know, I-I'd just rather get you a frosty grape soda.
No.
No, he is not that big.
Well, yeah, maybe not to you.
You got your own zip code.
I believe in you.
You can do this.
Enh.
Look, if I didn't think you were good, you would have never made this team.
Now get out there and show me what you got.
Good luck, sweetie.
I told you you'd get your chance.
Now, win fast, 'cause mommy's got no more change for the meters.

Ohh! What happened? Coach little: Timeout! [Blows whistle.]
You did it, Zack.
You drew the foul.
You ok? Can I have some bacon with my waffles? Come over here.
Let's sit down, ok? All right.
No, no, no.
This way.
This way.
This way.
Excuse me.
My sister and I were talking, and we both had the same thought.
There's a shock.
We thought it would be jolly fun, if we all gave Zack a mighty huzzah.
A wha? They want us all to cheer for Zack.
Well, why don't they just speak English? E-excuse me.
Excuse me.
This area is for real cheerleaders only.
We're all part of the same school, so why can't we cheer together? It shouldn't matter what size or shape you are o-or if you tend to put a bag over your head.
The point is we're all proud to be chipmunks.
Carey: Yeah.

[Thinking.]
Hey, wait, coach.
I see 2 baskets.
Well, I guess I'll just aim for the one in the middle.
Oh.
Whoa.
[Whistle blows.]
That was very close, sweetie.
Whoo! Focus.
You can do this with your eyes closed.
You're right.
Thanks, coach.
Coach little: No, no, no, no, no! [Horn sounds.]
Whoo! I knew you could do it, Zack.
A good coach knows his players' strengths and weaknesses, and free throws are your strengths.
Aw, thanks, coach, but what are my weaknesses? Uh, just about everything else.
We're just lucky you got a great coach.
