Sorry. I swear, sometimes I think I'm the

one who should be wearing the helmet to bed.

Please, please, don't let

the little guy suffer because of my mistake.

Look at him. Look at him.

He's got his heart set on competing.

Don't you, Jeffy?

Go for gold!

Go for gold!

All right. I'll let it slide for now.

Do you wanna grab

a Powerade or a granola bar?

I just need to talk to your guardian.

Be a good boy, OK?

To place him in the events, I just need to

know his qualifying times and his diagnosis.

Well, he's slow, real slow.

- Jeffy want a V8.

- Yeah. No, the diagnosis.

You should see him

trying to eat a watermelon.

I'm sorry. I mean his medical diagnosis.

Well, you know, Lynn,

technically I'm not a doctor, but...

It's a huge Latin word,

"Symptomus Moronicus... "

Highly functioning

developmentally disabled.

All right. Nice. Jeffy, good for you.

All right. Well, let's

just go sign in, shall we?

Goodbye, Uncle Gary.

Very nice, Troy.

Very nice, Rudy. Good job, you guys.

- Hey, you staying out of trouble, Winston?

- No.

We're this way.

We're going to this room right here.

See if Billy is in.

Hey, Billy. Your roommate is finally here.

- Lynn, Matt wants to see you.

- Thank you.

OK, well, I'll just let

you two get acquainted.

My name's Jeffy.

So are you working on the computer there?

No, I'm walking my dog.

"Kids of Widney High. "

What are they, like NSYNC or something?

Scratch!

Scratch!

My stars, for the love of Liza!

- You scratched my CD!

- Why did you scratch his CD?

Jeffy just admiring it.

Do it again and you'll be admiring my butt

from the pavement with a straw!

- What?

- You heard me.

Thanks, Mark.

A**hole.

Billy, Jeffy's sorry

about the whole CD incident.

You scratched my CD, you know.

I know. And I'm really sorry.

You scratched it.

You picked it up in clear daylight

and you scratched it.

I know. You know, we've established that.

Hey, don't give me 'tude.

You scratched my CD, Tex.

If you'll listen to me, I'm not disputing

that. I'm just trying to apologise.

Bye-bye.

That's my chair.

Come on, get up.

Let's go, come on.

There are five events in the pentathlon.

We'll try you in each one,

so we can assess your ability

and see which athletes to put you with.

- Can I be with Jimmy?

- Pardon?

Jimmy from TV. Jeffy big fan.

Yeah, sure,

as long as you finish in the top eight.

But, you know, hey, if you don't,

I'll still love you.

OK, so here is the 100-metre dash,

and this is your first event, so good luck.

Jeffy, the race.

Jeffy forgot.

Well, go for it. Good luck.

On your mark, set...

- Good luck.

- I don't need luck, ugly. Rudy beat your butt.

Winners, line up for the last race
