Best Foot Forward (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript
This is exactly the kind of
thing I was worried would happen.
Mom, it's no big deal.
Some kid tripped you and broke
your foot, and it's no big deal?
I... I put it back
together. I'm fine.
I am glad that you are fine,
but why am I finding out
about this three days later?
- Honey, I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
- Mmm.
I knew how upsetting
this would be,
so I wanted to break
the news to you gently.
At the right time.
Which meant putting it
off and not telling me?
Uh, that would appear
to be the case, yes.
Okay, for the record,
I told him to tell you.
Multiple times.
Multiple... [stammers]
Okay. [sighs]
[sighs] C-Can I stay in school?
[sighs]
[inhales deeply] Okay,
Josh, if you're gonna stay,
you gotta keep me in the loop.
I have to be a part
of this, buddy. Okay?
Of course.
[chuckles] Get in here.
Oh, I love you so much.
- [sighs, chuckles]
- Love you too, Mom.
- You guys.
- We're not there yet, Gary.
Yep. Got it. I was forcing
it. [exhales sharply]
Um, I'll do the dishes.
[theme song playing]
[school bell rings]
[Amy] Good morning,
Meadow Vale Pirates.
Today is a very exciting day.
It's that magical time
when fall semester clubs
and activities finally begin.
It's not too late to
sign up for any club,
including any aspiring new members
of our Meadow Vale News Network team.
For a full listing of all clubs, please
visit the big board in hallway A.
This is Amy Park for MNN News.
[Kyle] Whoa. That's
a lot of clubs.
Dude, how are you
gonna fit all that in?
Ah, it's easy. I time-chunk.
Are you really gonna pretend
like I know what that means?
Sorry. Here. It's a
time-management strategy.
Just break your day
into 15-minute chunks,
and allocate each chunk to
whatever activity you want.
For instance, "Hanging
with Kyle" is two chunks.
Dude, are you serious?
You're chunking me right now?
Double chunking.
Are you sure you're not
gonna sign up for anything?
[scoffs] Spend extra
time at school? Pass.
Kyle, we got stuck in an elevator
because you wanted to make more friends.
- So?
- Every self-help book I've read agrees
that friendships are based on
connecting over shared interests,
which is the whole
point of clubs.
I don't see how joining
the badminton club
is gonna help me get
back in with the Kyles.
[sighs] You need to stop focusing
on the Kyles and popularity.
If you try too hard to
make the wrong friends,
- you'll end up making none.
- Then I'm already ahead of the game.
What about me?
You're a friend from
home. You don't count.
Rude.
And correct. Luisa Dubin,
you got a ten out of ten.
High-five me now. Boom.
- What's next?
- Let's see. [sighs]
Uh…
Well, that's it.
You are done for the day.
Wow.
- That is early. Huh.
- Sweet.
I'm gonna go in the
backyard and make potions.
Awesome. Uh, I'm...
I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna go do,
um… [clicks tongue]
[sighs]
I'm gonna... [sighs]
I'm gonna be here…
alone.
Whoa.
My first school club.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Gabriella] Hey, you joining?
Wait, you play B&B? How did
you just get even cooler?
I collected a lot of
experience points. [chuckles]
Well, fair traveler,
my raiding party and I are
in the middle of a campaign,
but our former healer graduated to
the astral plane known as high school,
so if you're looking
for a spot...
Does a goat wizard
live on a pile of gold?
I don't know. Does it?
- Oh, yeah, uh, s-sorry. [stammers]
- Dude, I totally knew that.
- I'm just messing with you.
- Oh. [chuckles, sucks teeth]
Don't worry. I got you. Come on.
Hey, Eli. This is Josh. Josh
is gonna be in our party.
- Eli is our campaign coordinator.
- Mmm.
Halt! I do the assigning of
parties in this gaming hall.
Do you vouch for the quality
of this traveler's being?
Yes, this traveler's pure
of heart and even of temper.
Welcome to the quest.
And how, pray tell, were
you parted from your leg?
'Twas a vengeful dragon
with a fiery disposition.
Cool.
This is Meg. She's an elf.
Half-elf.
I like your cape.
It's a cloak.
Okay.
[student] All right, everyone.
Welcome to the first B&B
Club meetup of the year.
We'll meet at lunch every
Tuesday and Thursday,
so B&B will be on T and T.
I see a lot of familiar faces, but
we do have some new adventurers.
- "Monica Turner."
- [Monica] Right here.
"Josh Dubin."
Ready to roll.
"Stu Pid."
- [both laughing]
- Dude, she said it, she said it.
- She said... She... She said, "stupid."
- [Kyle laughs] She said it.
[Matt] Man, that
is not a real name.
- Who are they?
- [laughs] Oh! Go, go, go, go.
- Go. Let's go. She's looking at us.
- "Victor Nelly."
Walking me home. [sighs]
Surprised you don't have
another club after school.
I have to leave sometime to
hang with my best friend.
Aw, thanks, man.
[trumpet sounds]
Greetings, musicians,
and welcome
to the first meeting of the
Meadow Vale marching band.
[applause]
Dude, why are you clapping?
Welcome, boys. Hop in
line with everyone else.
- Um, n-no, I-I don't...
- Will do.
- Dude, I'm not joining the marching band.
- Too late.
But I don't even
like marching band.
You like Lizzo. She
was in a marching band.
- Dude, I am no Lizzo.
- [teacher clears throat]
Okay, we're going to
start with a basic march.
Stand at attention.
Shoulders back. Forward march!
Come on.
- Dude, what's going on?
- Come on.
[dishes clattering]
Hmm. Morning.
Morning.
Why are we cleaning out
the cabinets at 6:00 a.m.?
Lots to do today, Gary.
Getting a jump on it.
You know what? I cleaned those
out, like, two weeks ago.
Well, things build up, Gary.
And if you don't deal with them, then
they spill out all over the place.
- Hmm.
- Morning.
- Oh, hey, buddy.
- Hey, dude.
You come to help us
"de-pickle" the pantry?
Nope. First meeting of
Meadow Vale News Network
is before school this morning.
- Oh, clubs started?
- Cool.
Ah, yeah, sorry. I-I
forgot to mention.
No worries. [stutters] That's
so exciting. That's super fun.
- Oh! Do you want some eggs?
- No, no, no, no, no.
I'll grab something at school.
- Oh. Okay.
- See you later.
- Later.
- That's a good idea!
I didn't wanna make
breakfast anyways. [chuckles]
- [chuckles] Right. Love you, dude.
- Ha-Have fun!
Are you sure you're okay? You
wanna talk about anything?
[inhales deeply] You'll have to talk
to me while I'm cleaning the gutters.
Yeah, I'm not
doing that. [sighs]
Eyes over here. Eyes over here.
Welcome, newcomers.
Or should I say,
"news-comers." [chuckles]
[chuckles]
For the next several months,
I'll be your guide into the
exciting world of school news.
So excited, Amy.
Sorry.
Now, who here wants
to be on camera?
[club members gasping]
Well, too bad.
[club member 1] Oh.
No newbies on camera.
You're gonna have to earn it.
So if you're not okay
with that, then leave now.
- [door closes]
- You're gonna regret that, Carlos!
Enjoy 4-H!
I'm excited to work
my way up, Amy.
If you wanna come out on top,
you have to start at the bottom.
Exactly. He gets it. [chuckles]
Now, let's start
with the basics.
What is news?
News is anything that has value
or importance to your audience.
So the first question you
need to ask yourself is,
"What is important
to my audience?"
Anyone?
[groans] This is
gonna be a long day.
Hey, Josh, guess what?
I told my mom about the marching
band, and she won't let me quit.
Yeah, she started going on about, uh,
scholarships and college and parades.
Who doesn't love a parade?
Me. I don't love a parade. They're
only walking in one direction.
I mean, how do they get back to
the place that they started, huh?
- Do they just keep walking?
- [scoffs]
Good morning.
Hey.
Uh, I wanted to talk some
B&B strat before Club today.
[scoffs] You're really
into this stuff?
What?
A girl can't be into B&B?
No. No, no, no. Um, I
me... Of course you can.
There is no reason
that you couldn't.
I mean, you can be
into whatever you want.
I mean… Who's in charge? Girls!
- [clears throat]
- [chuckles] Dude, chill.
[chuckles] You're
easy to mess with.
Did you draw that?
[Gabriella] Yeah, that's my
character. Sylnelis Bronzefall.
Do you want me to
draw your character?
That would be amazing.
All right. [sighs]
You're a Powder Elf.
So, let's give you
cat-shaped eyes,
a narrow nose.
Can he have a beard?
Has he crested his
300th solo return?
He's six years short.
Sorry, kid. [smacks
lips] No beard.
Oh, what about one of
those pointy hat things?
[both] On a Powder Elf?
[watch beeps]
Oh, uh, we have to pause this.
Spanish Club is having
a special noun lesson.
I'm gonna learn how
to say, "chair."
It's "silla."
[stammers] Yeah, see ya.
["Bones" playing]
[school bell rings]
- [coordinator 1] Josh Dubin?
- Here.
Sorry, Tim. Best
two out of three?
- [coordinator 2] Josh Dubin?
- Here.
- [coordinator 3] Josh Dubin?
- What?
- Josh?
- Uh, here.
What's this called?
Ooh. [chuckles]
[coordinator 4] Josh?
Here!
- [coordinator 5] Josh Dubin?
- H-E-A... I mean, H-E-R-E, here?
[bell dings]
[student] The third sun has
melted. We have to move.
[inhales deeply] I'm
sorry, Sylnelis Bronzefall.
We must continue the quest
without Gareth the Vanguard.
- Uh, no. Josh said he'd be a little late.
- Who?
Gareth said he'd
be a little late.
Just give him a
few more minutes?
[sighs]
[sighs]
Uh, why don't we just
meet after school today?
- [gasps]
- Thou would postpone the quest?
Sacrilege.
Would you two please just drop
character for, like, two seconds?
Can you both meet
up after school?
[sighs] Yeah, I
got nothing else.
Sure.
Great. I'll text Josh.
Okay, let's keep it moving.
That means you, minivan.
Hey, Amy. Where do you need me?
Josh. Wow.
You are obviously a student who takes
club involvement very seriously.
Isn't being involved
what school's about?
Exactly. The résumé-building.
If you don't diversify your
extracurriculars early,
- you're toast when it comes to the Ivies.
- Hmm.
- Isha, your moms are here. Pack it up.
- [Isha] Yes... Yes, ma'am.
- Wow. [sighs] You're intense.
- Look, Dubin,
I never break my
MNN newbie rule.
Ever. But I can tell you're committed.
I'm gonna give you a shot on camera.
- Wha... [stammers] Really?
- Yep.
I need someone to announce Friday's
lunch. Think you're up for the job?
- Yes. I will not let you down, Amy.
- Good.
Ma'am, get off your phone.
[parent] Okay, okay.
- Get the stop sign and hit the corner.
- Got it.
Keep it moving.
I see you, Mrs. Washington.
Hey, uh, so sorry I'm late.
B&B's almost over.
I know, but Amy's letting
me be on camera tomorrow,
and we had to rehearse.
But Gareth the
Vanguard is here now,
and ready to harvest some
sugar beets for the battle hog.
Uh-uh-uh. Unfortunately,
Gareth the Vanguard tried to
fly over the Endless Peak.
What? Why would he do that? The
name should have been a red flag.
But you used your spell of levitation,
and he made it over safely.
Right?
- Nope.
- Sadly, Gareth froze mid-flight
and plummeted 1,200 leagues under
the unforgiving earth below.
You're dead.
Your broken form is now vittles for
the gaping maws of the hectopedes.
And the vorpal unicorns.
And the vorpal unicorns.
So, I'm out?
- Yep.
- [sighs] But it was a fun campaign.
Apparently not as fun
as being on the news,
or whatever else you've been
doing besides being here.
Look, it's chill.
You're too busy.
Who cares?
See ya.
[sighs]
Okay, so, Meg rolled
a nine. [chuckles]
Uh, how long is it gonna take
to harvest the sugar beets?
[sighs] Hey, Mom.
Whoa. What happened in here?
Just a deep clean.
- Good luck. [sighs]
- Thanks.
Oh, I need an eraser.
An eraser. They are right here.
- Right here.
- Thanks.
Whoa, Josh. That's
way too much chunking.
[sighs] Well, I got kicked out of
B&B. So, that's one less thing.
Oh, buddy. I'm sorry.
You love B&B. What happened?
Well, first I was late because
Backgammon Club ran over,
then I was late because I had
to rehearse for school news.
- Why do you have to be in every club?
- Because there's so much to do.
I mean, so much to try.
I don't want to miss any of it.
[chuckles]
You know, Josh, uh, the first time we went
to Adventure Park when you were little,
you were so determined to
ride every single ride.
You spent the whole time worried
you'd miss out on something
that you ended up not
enjoying anything at all.
- Huh.
- Pick a roller coaster.
And enjoy it. [chuckles]
- Thanks, Mom.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
There's snacks in the kitchen.
Hey, babe. Need a little
help in here? [sighs]
Yes. Desperately.
- Luisa!
- Get in here!
Bring down your little mop.
[Amy] Good afternoon, Meadow Vale.
Coming up, Dining with Dubin.
- [gasps]
- [gasps]
Critical hit.
I'm dead.
If only the healer
were here. [sighs]
He's here in spirit. Literally.
Gareth the Vanguard has
the ability to heal,
even from the afterlife.
I hereby reanimate you.
You're alive again.
[inhales sharply] And
now that I'm reanimated,
I can use the Horn of the Veil to
call your spirit back from the dead.
[imitates trumpet]
You're alive again.
Thanks.
Yes! I love this game.
- Elf, roll.
- Half-elf.
Aren't you supposed to be
announcing tomorrow's lunch?
I found a replacement.
And here to tell us what's
on Friday's lunch menu…
… "Stu Pid."
Meat loaf! Whoo!
Who wants meat loaf?
Meat loaf, meat loaf,
meat loaf, meat loaf.
She said, "stupid." She actually
did it. Whoo, whoo! Whoo! [grunts]
I'm Amy Park.
[chuckles] Goodbye.
[chuckles] My parents will
be thrilled he joined a club.
All right. First to
talk, first to move.
I talked first.
[inhales sharply]
Okay, so, I go here…
You guys wanna grab
Froyo or something?
[groans] Unfortunately, it's time
for me and Josh to go toot-toot.
- Come on, bro.
- Actually, Kyle,
I talked to Miss Kennedy
earlier. I quit band.
- What?
- [Miss Kennedy] Line up.
Dude, you're ditching me?
I'm just trying to enjoy one
roller coaster at a time.
You're riding
roller coasters now?
- Kyle.
- You'll thank me one day. I promise.
Hut, hut, Kyle.
You owe me so many chunks.
[whistle blows]
Ready. Set. Forward, march.
[band plays "When The
Saints Go Marching In"]
[both chuckle]
- He's right. He is no Lizzo.
- [laughs]
[band continues playing]
thing I was worried would happen.
Mom, it's no big deal.
Some kid tripped you and broke
your foot, and it's no big deal?
I... I put it back
together. I'm fine.
I am glad that you are fine,
but why am I finding out
about this three days later?

I have to be a part

Of course.
[chuckles] Get in here.
Oh, I love you so much.
- [sighs, chuckles]
- Love you too, Mom.
- You guys.
- We're not there yet, Gary.
Yep. Got it. I was forcing
it. [exhales sharply]
Um, I'll do the dishes.

Did you draw that?
[Gabriella] Yeah, that's my

Do you want me to

That would be amazing.

- [coordinator 1] Josh Dubin?
- Here.
Sorry, Tim. Best
two out of three?
- [coordinator 2] Josh Dubin?
- Here.
- [coordinator 3] Josh Dubin?
- What?
- Josh?
- Uh, here.
What's this called?
Ooh. [chuckles]
[coordinator 4] Josh?
Here!
- [coordinator 5] Josh Dubin?
- H-E-A... I mean, H-E-R-E, here?
[bell dings]
[student] The third sun has
melted. We have to move.
[inhales deeply] I'm
sorry, Sylnelis Bronzefall.
We must continue the quest
without Gareth the Vanguard.
- Uh, no. Josh said he'd be a little late.
- Who?
Gareth said he'd
be a little late.
Just give him a
few more minutes?
[sighs]
[sighs]
Uh, why don't we just
meet after school today?
- [gasps]
- Thou would postpone the quest?
Sacrilege.
Would you two please just drop
character for, like, two seconds?
Can you both meet
up after school?
[sighs] Yeah, I
got nothing else.
Sure.
Great. I'll text Josh.
Okay, let's keep it moving.
That means you, minivan.
Hey, Amy. Where do you need me?
Josh. Wow.
You are obviously a student who takes
club involvement very seriously.
Isn't being involved
what school's about?
Exactly. The résumé-building.
If you don't diversify your
extracurriculars early,
- you're toast when it comes to the Ivies.
- Hmm.
- Isha, your moms are here. Pack it up.
- [Isha] Yes... Yes, ma'am.
- Wow. [sighs] You're intense.
- Look, Dubin,
I never break my
MNN newbie rule.
Ever. But I can tell you're committed.
I'm gonna give you a shot on camera.
- Wha... [stammers] Really?
- Yep.
I need someone to announce Friday's
lunch. Think you're up for the job?
- Yes. I will not let you down, Amy.
- Good.
Ma'am, get off your phone.
[parent] Okay, okay.
- Get the stop sign and hit the corner.
- Got it.
Keep it moving.
I see you, Mrs. Washington.
Hey, uh, so sorry I'm late.
B&B's almost over.
I know, but Amy's letting
me be on camera tomorrow,
and we had to rehearse.
But Gareth the
Vanguard is here now,
and ready to harvest some
sugar beets for the battle hog.
Uh-uh-uh. Unfortunately,
Gareth the Vanguard tried to
fly over the Endless Peak.
What? Why would he do that? The
name should have been a red flag.
But you used your spell of levitation,
and he made it over safely.
Right?
- Nope.
- Sadly, Gareth froze mid-flight
and plummeted 1,200 leagues under
the unforgiving earth below.
You're dead.
Your broken form is now vittles for
the gaping maws of the hectopedes.
And the vorpal unicorns.
And the vorpal unicorns.
So, I'm out?
- Yep.
- [sighs] But it was a fun campaign.
Apparently not as fun
as being on the news,
or whatever else you've been
doing besides being here.
Look, it's chill.
You're too busy.
Who cares?
See ya.
[sighs]
Okay, so, Meg rolled
a nine. [chuckles]
Uh, how long is it gonna take
to harvest the sugar beets?
[sighs] Hey, Mom.
Whoa. What happened in here?
Just a deep clean.
- Good luck. [sighs]
- Thanks.
Oh, I need an eraser.
An eraser. They are right here.
- Right here.
- Thanks.
Whoa, Josh. That's
way too much chunking.
[sighs] Well, I got kicked out of
B&B. So, that's one less thing.
Oh, buddy. I'm sorry.
You love B&B. What happened?
Well, first I was late because
Backgammon Club ran over,
then I was late because I had
to rehearse for school news.
- Why do you have to be in every club?
- Because there's so much to do.
I mean, so much to try.
I don't want to miss any of it.
[chuckles]
You know, Josh, uh, the first time we went
to Adventure Park when you were little,
you were so determined to
ride every single ride.
You spent the whole time worried
you'd miss out on something
that you ended up not
enjoying anything at all.
- Huh.
- Pick a roller coaster.
And enjoy it. [chuckles]
- Thanks, Mom.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
There's snacks in the kitchen.
Hey, babe. Need a little
help in here? [sighs]
Yes. Desperately.
- Luisa!
- Get in here!
Bring down your little mop.
[Amy] Good afternoon, Meadow Vale.
Coming up, Dining with Dubin.
- [gasps]
- [gasps]
Critical hit.
I'm dead.
If only the healer
were here. [sighs]
He's here in spirit. Literally.
Gareth the Vanguard has
the ability to heal,
even from the afterlife.
I hereby reanimate you.
You're alive again.
[inhales sharply] And
now that I'm reanimated,
I can use the Horn of the Veil to
call your spirit back from the dead.
[imitates trumpet]
You're alive again.
Thanks.
Yes! I love this game.
- Elf, roll.
- Half-elf.
Aren't you supposed to be
announcing tomorrow's lunch?
I found a replacement.
And here to tell us what's
on Friday's lunch menu…
… "Stu Pid."
Meat loaf! Whoo!
Who wants meat loaf?
Meat loaf, meat loaf,
meat loaf, meat loaf.
She said, "stupid." She actually
did it. Whoo, whoo! Whoo! [grunts]
I'm Amy Park.
[chuckles] Goodbye.
[chuckles] My parents will
be thrilled he joined a club.
All right. First to
talk, first to move.
I talked first.
[inhales sharply]
Okay, so, I go here…
You guys wanna grab
Froyo or something?
[groans] Unfortunately, it's time
for me and Josh to go toot-toot.
- Come on, bro.
- Actually, Kyle,
I talked to Miss Kennedy
earlier. I quit band.
- What?
- [Miss Kennedy] Line up.
Dude, you're ditching me?
I'm just trying to enjoy one
roller coaster at a time.
You're riding
roller coasters now?
- Kyle.
- You'll thank me one day. I promise.
Hut, hut, Kyle.
You owe me so many chunks.
[whistle blows]
Ready. Set. Forward, march.
[band plays "When The
Saints Go Marching In"]
[both chuckle]
- He's right. He is no Lizzo.
- [laughs]
[band continues playing]
