Once you're branded a geek, you're powerless to change it no matter how cool you are.
Two points.
- Be thankful you're a genie.
- You got it made.
Being a genie isn't such a piece ocake either.
[ snickers .]
What? You think it's easy? You guys'll be teenagers the next three years but I'm genie until the end of time.
I'd take an eternity of magic wishes over another semester of squat thrusts in P.
E.
- Then let's trade.
Trade what? You guys can be genies and I'll be a teenager.
- Are you serious? - Put up or shut up.
First thing, we have to find someone really normal for you to look like.
Why can't I be the teenage verison of me? A supermodel? Uh-uh.
You have to suffer like a true teenager.
Okay.
Here's what we'll do.
We'll take Georgia Delivecchio's nose Sally Morrison's braces Fred Marrone's hair and Gerty Fromp's body.
Let's at least give her a fighting chance.
No.
I'll take Gerty's body.
I don't need good looks to be popular.
I can make friends with my sparkling personality.
She hasn't got a clue.
Welcome to the Girl God Forget.
How you feel? Nervous, but happy.
Like I want to do all kinds of things at once but I don't know what.
Am I talking too much? I'm talking way too much.
Shut up, Lisa.
Shut up.
- So, when do we get that magic feeling? - Right.
I'm such a spaz.
I completely forgot.
Okay.
Ready? [ grunts .]
[ grunts .]
Oh.
So that's it? We're genies? Uh-huh.
Yeah.
But you have to think of the same thing at the same time or you might die.
- Is my nose shiny? - Okay.
Let's start small.
A snack.
- I'm thinking Pizza Pocke.
- Sounds good to me.
- Not a bad first zap.
- Yeah.
Get real.
- That sucked.
- Hot! Hot cheese! Hot cheese! [ both moaning .]
Hi.
I'm Lisa.
Hi.
Hello.
Hey, nice boots.
Morning, everyone.
Settle down, please, and let's get to work.
Pop quiz.
This is my first pop quiz.
Ooh.
Big whoop.
I hope you've all boned up on your marsupial classifications.
Of a group of lower mammals that lacks a placenta - and has an external abdominal pouch.
- Very good.
Including kangaroos.
Well, let's save it for the test.
- Could someone help me hand these out? - I will.
There you go.
One for you.
One for you.
Let me guess.
You're new.
One for you.
Hi.
One for you.
One for you.
- You're new.
- New? No.
Yes.
Yes, I'm new.
Sorry.
Don't apologize.
I'm Lyle.
I like that name.
Lyle.
Lyle.
Lyle.
Okay, you said his name like a thousand times.
- Now stop it.
God.
- And you are? I'm new.
Who's the new chick? I don't know, but she's got the wrong idea if she makes time with my boyfriend.
I am Zarnak, powerful and all-knowing.
I simply think of what I desire and it appears right in front of me like magic.
I think I'd like a snow cone.
Before we're crushed by two tons of cherry ice listen for a minute.
Speak, o pecky one.
We have to think of the exact same thing at the exact same time.
Okay, okay.
Now I'm thinking of Drew Barryone love-crazed and dipped in honey.
Already there.
Let's do it.
- What the hell? - Whoops.
- What are you thinking? - I was thinking of Drew Barryone which made me think of Lional Barryone which made me think of the training sequences in Rocky III.
Then, you know, Rocky To Bullwinkle.
- Bullwinkle To Antlers.
- Let's try again.
I'm thinking of Daisy Fuentes wearing nothing but a smile.
Ready and go.
I don't even want to know how you got from Daisy Fuentes to this.
[ groans .]
Okay.
Focus.
- Chet wearing a tutu.
- Got it.
He'll never know what hit him.
I got distracted.
Oh.
Hi, guys.
Boy, am I happy to see you.
I really am.
Want to dig around in the little X? Chew up the remote? Huh? Hear the can opener? Smells like alp.
Boy, I love that stuff.
I could just eat it all up.
[ howling .]
Well, that shouldn't cause too much commotion.
Ooh.
Nasty one.
Here.
Use my cover-up.
Thanks.
I'd die if I had to walk around all day with this volcano on my forehead.
Yeah, it is pretty huge.
Here.
Let me help you with that.
So, what was your name again? I'm Lisa.
You guys are, like, so nice to do this.
No prob.
So, I saw you checking out Lyle Foster in bio.
- Yeah, Isn't he the cutest? - He seems so nice.
Want little advice? Don't bother.
I mean, you're sweet in a muppet kind of way but he's way out of your league.
- Way.
- So, for your own good, back off.
- We're just trying to help.
- Thanks.
See you at lunch.
Maybe we could study to gether.
What are you doing? Are those antlers? - Did you screw up? - No.
They make my face look thinner and they're great for laundry day.
- Where's Wyatt? - He's coming.
- What happened to you? - My new friends Brenda and Heather helped me with my makeup.
Like it? Why did they do this? I thought they were my friends.
They're not.
Lisa, you got to learn to watch your back.
High school's a war zone.
Trust no one.
- I just want to fit in.
- I know.
That's what we all want.
You guys at least having fun being genies? Oh sure.
It's a little shaky but we're getting the hang of it.
[ screaming .]
Oh.
Hi, Lis.
How it's going? - What happened to you? - I meant to do this.
It makes it easier to Eat peanuts without using your hands or feet.
It's fun in the bath too.
So, how's life as a teenager? Lisa made new friends with Brenda and Heather.
Yikes.
The gruesome twosome.
Oh, they're nice.
We're going to be friends.
I know it.
Really.
Really, really good friends.
Man.
She's pretty upset.
It's tough.
Lisa's going through that awkward stage.
Her emotions, her feelings her whole body's going through all kinds of changes.
But she's got to learn to accept herself as she is for who this before others will accept her.
Tell me that wasn't toliet water.
One good thing about the magic-- The spells don't last.
I miss the antlers.
Gave you that outdoorsy look.
Ah, I got tired of walking through doors sideways.
How was school? You make it through the rest of the day okay? Everyone's going to this party at Brenda Tomlinson's house this Saturday.
Everyone except me.
I'm, like, the biggest loser in school.
No, you're not.
And who cares about Brenda's party? Lyle Boster will be there.
I don't care if Brenda and Heather said I should stay away from him.
I think he likes me but I don't know.
I'm probably wrong.
But if he does Are we this pathetic? I hope not.
Don't worry.
We can help you.
We're your genies, remember? No.
I said I could make it without magic.
One bad day is not going to make me hang up my training bra.
There she is.
Poor thing.
If anyone ever needed magic, it's her.
[ giggling .]
We got to be subtle.
She can't know we're helping.
Before we zap her a date with Lyle we better run one last test.
- I'm thinking of a peanut.
- A peanut.
Okay, got it.
Voila.
Looks like we're ready.
Maybe we should but Lyle some flowers and sign Lisa's name.
That sounds good.
You got any cash? Oh.
Thank you Lyle.
I was wondering if you might like to go to Brenda's party with me.
- It's a date then? - Mmm.
Guess what? - Lyle asked me to Brenda's party.
- He did? It's my first party.
I'm so excited.
What do I do if Lyle tries to kiss me? Yeah, like that's going to happen.
Dream on, Lisa.
Could this zit be any bigger? He's probably going to look at me and barf.
Oh, no.
What am I going to wear? I got a bad feeling about this.
Why isn't anyone asking the big question? What's Lyle Foster doing asking out Lisa? - Maybe she won him with her personality.
- Personality? Sure, yah, like, oh, my D.
Something's up.
We've got to go to that party.
Wait! Lyle, you're so nice to take me but if you've changed your mind and you want to go in without me I'd totally understand, really, I would, really.
Relax.
I invited you.
I want to go with you.
- Really? - Would I lie? Come on.
We'll have fun, okay? Hey welcome.
You two look so cute together.
Lisa, love the dress.
You do? Thanks.
Come on in.
Everyone's here.
Have a good time, Lyle.
Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
You are such a bitch.
Medic! [ groaning .]
What exactly is the plan here? We weren't invited.
We're not loser sophomores anymore.
We're juniors now.
These are our peers.
We've filled out, we've networked we've paid our dues.
This is our time.
Get lost, losers.
Saw that coming.
What's plan "B"? We infiltrate with a little magic.
- I feel like everyone's staring at me.
- They're just jealous.
Don't be so insecure.
Look, come here.
You look fine, you see? Okay? Come on, let's go get some drinks.
- Did you see that? - I don't get it.
Lyle's being nice to her.
Doesn't make sense.
Look at her.
She and I mean this in the nicest way A scud.
Scud not, he obviously sees something in her he likes.
- Are you sticking all over? - Yeah, and knee deep in backwash.
- Let's go.
- Wait! - Shh! - You know, it's so nice to see young love.
- Looks like Lyle's found a girlfriend.
- And she's found the man of her dreams.
I'm so happy for her.
Aren't you? - Completely.
- Something's horribly wrong.
Uh freshen that for you? - You just did, but okay.
- Whatever.
Thanks.
GARY: Psst! Lisa, in here.
What are you doing? We came to warn you about Heather and Brenda.
What they said they were happy for you and Lyle.
Yeah, and you make a really nice couple.
It doesn't sound like much but trust us-- Something's going now.
Why are you trying to wreck everything? I was invited to the coolest party I've snagged the hottest guys are jealous because I'm more popular than you ever were.
Maybe she's right.
The entire school's have a great party and we're stuck on the wall, watching.
Who says we can't make our own party? Hey, pass the wine and spread out, guys.
There are two sidest to the table.
Use them! I gotta say I'm impressed.
That Lisa chick she's got a great personality.
Yeah, lots of personality.
And who does her hair? General electric? Berger, you care too much what people think fo you.
You're so wrapped up in appearances you didn't even notice that she's smart, senstive and sweet.
Come on, pay up, suckers.
Thank you.
Now, we've had our date.
I can bail now, right? Not yet.
We still have our little deal, remember? - You promised a public dumping.
- Yeah.
You have to tell Miss Personality that the whole date was a bet in front of everyone.
Harsh! Come on, I did my part.
Let's call it a night.
Uh-uh.
Are you my boyfriend or not? Whoo.
All right.
Let's get it over with.
- I'd be happy if we never did that again.
- Oh, man! Lisa was a mercy date.
We got to get to her before Lyle snaps her heart like a lovestick twig.
Nope, that can wait.
Here comes Nancy and Shari.
BRENDA: Excuse me.
Can I have everybody's attention! Hello?! Everyone.
Shut up! Okay, now, before everyone pairs up and gets nasty I think Lyle and Lisa have a little announcement.
- What's going on? - Come on, Lyle we're waiting.
Lisa, I've got something to tell you.
Oh, God! This is so embarrassing.
- We have to do something! - We can't help as cushions.
I got an idea.
Uh Lisa, I wanted to say is that I love you I've always loved you.
You're cool.
You're genuine, honest and nice not like these two social spiders or their loser friends.
All they care about is who's popular and who's going out with who.
- "Whom".
- What? - It's "whom".
- Why are you saying this? Because I love you.
I always have.
Wait-- we said that already.
We did? - Oh, that's right.
- "We?" - Are you okay? - Look, Lisa, what I'm trying to say is that you don't belong here with this swallow mean and heartless crowd of popular, cosmetically enhanced kids.
They'll eat you alive.
- That's why we have to break up.
- But Don't you get it? It's too late for me.
I'll never escape but you've got a chance.
Get out while you still have your personality.
I will.
You are, like, so cool.
- What's up with you, Foster? - Oh, I'm not done yet.
I've got one more thing to say before I leave and that is I sleep with a stuffed bunny I sill wet my bed and I'm wearing my sister's underwear because it makes me feel pretty.
Who stopped the party? What? I think I made a pretty damned good teenager and all because of my sparkling personality.
Told you.
You cynics.
You were right.
All it takes to get through life is self-nfidence and a good personality.
And a couple genies - what was that? - Nothing-- personality, right? - Here he is.
- Hey, Chet.
It's about time! I been trapped in here all day.
You ready to go home? Just let me finish my lunch first.
