Go!
Move! Move! Move!
Move it!
Right side
of the building.
Go!
Go!
Ladies and gentlemen,
we're on contain
and capture protocol!
Our fugitives are on site!
The President called.
He wants an update.
Is he upset?
You lost track
of a $3 billion weapon.
I'm sure he's thrilled.
Stay back, Doctor.
Let me reason with them, General.
I can get them to talk.
We're past the time
for a friendly chat.
As far as I'm concerned,
the most dangerous criminals in the world
are right down there!
Give yourselves up!
You've stolen property
of the United States
government.
Come out peacefully
and tell us everything
we want to know,
or you will be locked up
and tried for treason!
And there is no way
you are going to homecoming!
But, Dad!
Not another word,
young lady.
I want you to get
into this bulletproof Humvee
this minute. And I want you to
think about what you have done!
Don't sweat
the little things, guys
Keep your eye on
the bigger things, guys
If you look
a little closer
You're gonna get
a better picture
You and I
would make too fun life
Rockets in the night
Keep your head up,
keep the down
Throw it all in,
make your own ground
And if you're gonna
make a mess, make it loud
And if you're gonna
take a stand, stand out
Life is our game,
we can go play
Shake a
don't be afraid
And if you're gonna
make a mess, make it loud
And if you're gonna
take a stand, stand out
Stand out,
oh, oh
Stand out
We're done.
In ten minutes?
Nine, actually.
I appreciate your confidence,
Gabby,
but you're sophomores
and this is senior calculus.
Why don't you and Mae
check your work?
Yep,
still done.
Gabby and Gabby junior,
wrecking the curve.
As usual.
Dorks.
Mrs. Shapiro,
may we have hall passes?
Mae is tutoring,
and I'm heading up a meeting about
healthier choices
on the cafeteria menu.
There's no time to waste when there's
so much to improve around here.
Thanks.
They called us dorks.
No, no, no,
they said sporks.
It's the world's
most versatile utensil.
So, the tangent
of three pi over four is...
Well, it's in
quadrant two, so...
I'll never get it.
Hey, you play quarterback,
right?
Close your eyes.
Come on,
just trust me.
So picture
the football field
as a circle
on the graph.
The tight end
is lined up at zero...
on the path of the circle.
Strong safety
is at pi over four...
the free safety is...
Uh, three pi over four.
And with X being negative...
Bingo.
I got it!
Wow, that... that is so cool.
I didn't know
you liked football.
I don't really...
but... you do.
What's your deal?
I mean, social-life wise?
Are you going
to homecoming?
Oh.
Is that this weekend?
It's the biggest weekend
of the year.
You're going
to the dance, right?
I don't know.
Gabby and I like
to play it by ear.
Us and all of our friends,
our crew, our posse.
Well, you should go.
You never know
what you'll miss.
Can you believe it?
Yeah.
I know this is gonna
sound crazy.
He needs you...
to do his problem sets.
Me and Jaden,
impossible, right?
But we had this moment today,
and it's like,
he was gonna ask me to homecoming.
Mae, have you ever
heard the story
of a girl who met a boy
and changed the world?
Look, who cares
that people here don't like us
or if we don't get invited
to silly dances?
We have the brains.
We're an amazing team,
and someday, we're gonna
blow them all away.
But we need to focus.
Boys are a distraction.
You're right.
You're always right.
Nevaeh for homecoming
queen, obviously.
Aeh for homecoming queen.
Thanks.
All fixed,
Principal Fragner.
It won't crash
when you load videos
and it should run
Well, thanks, Gabby.
Now I can catch up
Okay.
Oh!
Oh, what's wrong?
Jaden texted.
I told you
He texted me.
Unprovoked.
"Meet me after practise."
With an S.
"Have to ask letter U
an important question."
"C U Lader."
With a D.
Wow. Even auto-correct
can't help this kid.
Well, I mean,
it must be about the dance.
What else
would be important?
Mae.
Jaden Stark is not gonna
ask you to homecoming.
"See you there."
T-H-E-I-R.
Ugh.
You didn't.
I'm going.
"Cowards die
a thousand deaths."
You know Caesar
got stabbed, right?
Hmm.
Thanks, Nevaeh.
It's all about one word, men!
Focus!
Heart!
Defense!
Tenacity!
Hi.
Uh, this is
so ill-advised.
Okay, now when Jaden
comes over here,
act normal.
Don't say anything smart.
Okay.
Uh-oh.
I don't think
I'm your problem.
Why is Nevaeh
coming over here?
She doesn't even know
who I am.
Bon jour, ladies.
What brings you here?
Jaden invited us.
Mae, you and Jaden
aren't even
on the same social radar.
See, here's
the social radar
and over here
is Siberia,
and over there,
that's...
That's you.
Why do people
even like you?
Well, I'm not
the one trying to
steal someone's
homecoming date.
Mae thinks
Jaden is asking her.
But Jaden and I
have been dating for like,
17 whole days.
except, apparently,
the school geniuses.
I never...
I never said that.
I know what you saids and dids,
pumpkin.
And I know a crush
when I see one.
So back off.
Hey, what's going on?
Oh, silly girl talk.
