dinner's in the fridge.

Love, Marta."

You'll be as good as new, Serge.

"Amy posted a picture of Dylan."

What?

Why'd she do that?

My mom took that photo when Amy and I

won the second grade science fair,

back when we were besties.

Mom died later that same year.

Sometimes I like

to look through her old stuff.

Makes me feel like I'm still with her.

Josh, is that you?

No, Mom, it's a burglar who just happens

to have keys to the front door.

Hey, Mouse.

Who'd you bark at today, buddy?

Who'd you bark at today?

Who'd you bark at today?

Oh, yes, you're a good boy.

Let's go. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Look at me. Come on.

Come on.

Same to you, I think.

Hey, guess what?

I found my new documentary subject.

Dylan Schoenfield.

- Oh, that is wonderful, hon.

- Yeah.

- Who is he?

- She, Mom.

- Oh.

- One of the most popular girls at school.

I was gonna follow her around,

shoot her Blossom Queen campaign.

I'm thinking a hard-hitting expos

on popularity.

Huh. Well, that sounds like

an ambitious project.

Yeah. Speaking of projects, Mom,

what is that?

Sushi-making class.

I am making a spicy dragon roll.

Great.

There we go. That's that.

Oh, no, my miso.

Hey, Mom, you just wanna phone in

for pizza instead?

Oh, yes.

So much better.

No. No, no, no. Give me...

Go and get him.

Hey. Paul, it's Sandy.

Oh, I like this, huh?

An expos on popularity.

Yeah. You told me to challenge myself

and Dylan Schoenfield's proving

to be a big challenge.

Don't forget what else I said.

- Seek out the truth, huh?

- Right.

The best documentarians leave

their preconceived notions at the door.

Uh...

Totally, Mr. F., yeah.

Dylan Schoenfield, huh?

Popularity could turn out

to be more complicated than you think.

Welcome to the competition, Josh.

Hollywood, huh?

- Yeah.

- Little bit of the action.

I'll see you there.

Hey. You ready to start?

- Almost. Hold this.

- Mm.

First, some ground rules.

One, we need

to set a strict filming schedule.

No hanging around me before or after.

Sure. Like I'd want to.

Two, I need a beauty budget.

So $50 a week should suffice.

Beauty budget?

I only get $5 a day for lunch.

Three, no filming from my left side.

Ever.

It's my bad side, see?

They're exactly the sa...

Are you always this high-maintenance?

It is not high-maintenance

to want to look nice.

Voila, now I'm done.

Hey, don't you want this?

Oh, you can just set it down at my seat.

- The Ramp?

- Duh, where else would we eat lunch?

Dylan?

We're shooting a movie.

Excuse me.

One small step for geeks.

One giant leap for geek-kind.

Not now.

Why so determined

to be Blossom Queen?

Because it's the best way

to ensure lifelong popularity.
