Get... Get...
Up!
You missed!
You missed this time,
you little menace!
I beat you!
Morning.
Honey, you're getting
all upset over nothing.
- I'm not getting...
- Here.
A nice breakfast
will cheer you up.
I am not
getting upset over...
- What is that?
- It's bacon.
I know it's bacon.
What have you done to it?
You said you didn't like
all the grease from fried bacon...
so I boiled it.
What is Lane doing up
at this hour on a Sunday?
Doesn't he turn to dust
if the sun hits him before noon?
It's tryouts
for the high school ski team.
He's going up
to Mt. Brody with Beth.
Sure he's going up with Beth.
He can't do anything
without that girl.
I tell you, Jenny,
that boy is obsessed.
Now, honey...
obsessed?
when they're empty?
What in the name
of all that's holy...
Badger likes the prizes
you can get...
from cutting the coupons
from the boxes.
He's mailing them today.
Can't you wait until the...
Lane, a closet door can be closed
as well as it can be opened.
Sorry, Dad.
Dear, your breakfast
is getting cold.
It's all right, Mom. I can't
have breakfast today. I got tryouts.
Nervous stomach. Don't wanna
throw up from the chairlift again.
Had to buy that guy
a new hat last time. Bye, Dad.
Memorandum. I would like to
take a meeting with you tonight...
to discuss that vehicle
you purchased several months ago...
yet has darkened our driveway,
immobile, ever since.
Okay, Dad. Noted.
Talk to you tonight.
I gotta pick up Beth.
Ricky.
Don't be so shy. Come on.
Monique, this is Ricky.
Ricky, this is Monique...
the French foreign exchange student
who'll be staying with us.
It's an awesome spectacle...
and a vicious display
of seething opponents...
once again paralleled
in an obstinate attempt to prove...
superiority of the roads
unequal in our lifetime.
The crowds swell with anticipation
as the lights turn green!
You stupid bonehead!
I'm gonna activate your dental plan!
Come here, you idiot!
Get out of this car!
If he asks me out,
of course I'm gonna go out with him.
I mean, he skis the K-12.
Yeah. He's so boss.
I'll tell him after tryouts. You
know how he gets when he gets upset.
Yeah. From the chairlift.
He had to buy the guy
a new hat last time.
Lane's here. I gotta go.
I'll call you later. Bye.
He's the only person
in Greendale...
that's ever skied the K-12
from the glacier and lived.
Man, what a hunk.
Listen up.
Your running time has to be...
under 58 seconds to even
be considered for the team.
Your time will be gauged
along with a rating...
of one to ten on your style,
which will be judged solely by me...
and my vast expertise
of skiing technique.
Why don't we have you sorry-looking
lot of hopefuls make your way up.
You future members of the girls'
ski team can all keep me company...
until it's time
for you to take the track.
- Who'd like to hold my clipboard?
- Me! Me!
You'll make a fine little helper.
What's your name?
- Charles De Mar.
- Shut up, geek.
- What's your name?
- Beth.
That's my favorite name.
- Buenos das. Roy Stalin.
- Hola. Lane Myer.
I can see you and I
share one common desire...
the desire to be a part
of the well-oiled machinery...
that is the Greendale
High School ski-racing team.
- The desire for victory.
- Well, I...
Right on! Get up there,
and let's see what you got.
- Ready up there?
- Yeah. We're all set.
What is the next victim's name?
"Myer. Lane Myer."
Is that as in Oscar Mayer?
That's a roger, dude.
You were standing with Oscar.
Is he your main wiener man?
