(upbeat music)
- All right. Eh, roll tape.
- Rolling.
- Are you guys sure that this is for the video yearbook?
- [Both] Oh yeah, definitely.
- Okay.
- [Cheerleaders] Jamal and Chris,
they're cool, they're the coolest guys in the school.
We're gonna jump and shout and turn about
and get on down 'cause they're cool.
(cheerleaders cheering)
- So? How was that?
- Good for me.
- Actually, we're gonna need to work on it.
Ladies, how does Saturday night at my place sound?
- Sounds like wrap.
Girls, get to class.
Boys, show some class.
(audience laughing)
- Hey, at least we can still do that interview
in the girls' locker room.
- And stay out of the girls' locker room.
(audience laughing)
- She's good.
(car horn blares)
(bicycle screeches)
- Is that right, Fred?
Well, maybe if you lost those shades,
you would've seen me coming.
- So what's up with the new wheels and gear, man?
- I landed a sweet new messenger job
and this stuff is part of the deal.
Plus, I get triple the normal pay.
- If I ever have work, that's the kinda job I want.
- Ah, it gets better.
I used to have to spend it all over town.
Now I only gotta make one delivery a day,
- Ha, more money, less work?
I don't know, man.
Something about that don't smell right.
- Neither does half of Manhattan.
(audience laughing)
- Sounds too good to be true.
- Hey, I'm too good to be true.
In fact, I'm so good, I'ma buy myself a donut.
Hey, would you stick this in your locker?
My lock got smashed off.
- Well, what jerk did that?
- Me. I forgot the combination.
(audience laughing)
(school bell ringing)
- All that cash for one little delivery?
Man, what could be in here?
- Only one way to find out.
Open it.
- Hey man, you can't do that.
That's wrong.
- How many times do I have to tell you?
It's only wrong if you get caught.
- Look, don't even try to open it.
No, don't.
Ooh, I'm telling.
(audience laughing)
- Hey, that's not sugar, is it?
- I don't think so.
- Sweet'N Low.
(audience laughing)
- Nah, man. I think it's cocaine.
(mid-tempo music)
- We've gotta talk to Al.
- Yeah, but first we gotta make sure
we don't get caught with that package.
- You're right.
- Okay, look, we'll find a place to hide it.
Just be cool.
- Well, if you're so cool, why don't you hold the drugs?
- Man, I ain't holding nothing. You hold it.
- You are now. Noble's coming.
- No, I'm not. You hold it.
I don't wanna hold it.
No, I don't wanna hold it. - Boys.
What's the problem now?
- Oh, no problem.
We were just wondering who's taller,
Beavis of Butt-Head.
- Yeah, Ms. Noble.
What you think?
- Why don't you two just stand back to back
and find out?
(Jamal and Chris laughing)
- Back to back. You're so crazy.
- That's a good one.
She is scary.
All right. Let's just put the stuff in your locker
before anything else happens.
- (laughs) You know that's funny
'cause it sounded like you said
"Let's put the drugs in Jamal's locker."
- But we sure ain't putting 'em in mine.
- Look, forget it.
Got it.
We'll put it in the video locker with the cam.
- Hey guys!
You wanna sign a petition
to get a new Coke machine on the roof?
- Coke?
Why would we want Coke?
Do we look like we like Coke?
Not us.
We don't even touch the stuff.
- Great. So you'll sign?
- [Both] No!
- Fine.
Sounds like you two have had enough caffeine already.
- Okay, look man, I'm getting stressed out.
We gotta talk to Al and fast.
- And the profits from the soda machine
would to student activities.
And there'd even be diet soda for you.
Not that you need diet soda,
because you're perfect the way you are.
And um, okay, I'm gonna sit down now, okay.
- You do that.
- [Dawn] Okay. That's what I thought.
- Oh, great. Al's not here.
- Maybe he ran away.
Or maybe he knows about the D-R-U-G-S.
- Hello, this is a school.
I think everyone can spell.
(audience laughing)
Maybe not everyone.
Anyway. I doubt Al knows what's in the package.
- Man, Al's gotta know what's up, man.
He's from the streets.
- I didn't know and I'm from the streets.
- Oh please, man.
You're from a penthouse on Park Avenue.
From up there, you can't even see the streets.
What I mean is where's Al getting the money
for all this new stuff?
- Hey! Look, he only got a new bike and some gear.
- Hey, hey, y'all, check it.
I got a 31-inch telly with surround sound speakers
and a 500 channel satellite dish.
- He's dealing
- Al. You bought the school a new television?
I hope this isn't a bribe.
- Hey, then it's not.
- Now, the deal is I told my boss, Tonio,
that the school needed a TV and bam, he donates one.
- That's very generous.
But where did all this stuff come from?
I need to see a receipt.
- Here it is.
- I'll hook that dish up now.
Which way to the roof?
- Up, like most roofs.
(audience laughing)
- I knew that.
- Alberto, you better go with him.
I don't think that man can find sand at the beach.
(audience laughing)
- Hey, yo, Al, man. We gotta talk.
- Yeah, it's important.
- Not as important as you two
getting back into homeroom now.
Class, I have an important announcement to make.
- Why is she eyeing us?
- Somebody stole the laptop computer from the library.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't look at me!
I didn't even know we had a library.
(audience laughing)
- So to locate the laptop,
we're doing a locker search starting with this class.
- I'm sorry. I have to protest this locker search.
It's an invasion of privacy
and it violates the Fourth Amendment
which specifically offers protection
against unreasonable search and seizure.
- Oh, that's a good point.
Move.
Two pencils and a bio book?
Why didn't you want me to look in here?
- Ever hear of a little thing called freedom?
- [Students] Yeah.
- Lord, give me strength.
- All right. Here's the plan.
As soon as Noble heads for the locker,
I'll poke you in the eye.
See, your screaming will cause a diversion.
- Now, hold up.
Why am I the one getting poked in the eye?
- 'Cause I'm the one who came up with the plan.
- Look man, just chill.
Nobody's poking anybody's eye, okay?
Noble's only a checking student lockers.
She won't even look in the video locker.
- Okay. Cassidy, you're next.
(Ms. Noble giggles)
(students wooing)
- Oh, take a shower.
I'm doing a commercial.
I'm the new Tahiti Tan girl.
It's a job.
- You know, I'll help rub the lotion on your back.
- Now that'll kinda be hard with a broken arm.
- Chris, Jamal, your lockers are next.
- Ha ha! No laptop.
- Yeah, no books either.
- Yeah, see Ms. Noble, all I have is a Game Boy,
a basketball and a Tony Braxton poster.
Bye, baby.
Well, so much for the locker search.
It's time for class.
Let's hit those books, shall we?
- Yeah, we've got learning to do, peoples.
- Hey, hold on.
We didn't search the video locker.
- Eh, there's no computers in there.
- Yeah, that's right.
Nothing but video equipment.
You know, tapes, cables, all kind of lenses.
Long ones, short ones, medium ones.
Was that the bell?
(audience laughing)
- What do we have here?
- Quick. Poke me in the eye.
(audience laughing)
(light music)
Ms. Noble, there's a perfectly good explanation
for drugs being in our locker.
- I'm waiting to hear it.
- So am I.
- Are you two selling drugs?
- No way. We'd never do that.
Not even Chris is whack enough to sell drugs.
- Oh, thanks. Really.
- Okay then, are you two using drugs?
- Don't be stupid.
I mean, no ma'am.
- Boys, the drugs were found in your locker.
Where did they come from?
- Shoot. I don't know.
Columbia maybe.
- Hey, this is no laughing matter.
You brought drugs into my school.
- No we didn't. We swear.
- Then who did?
- Okay.
Look, the truth is we got the package from a friend.
- Whose name is not important right now.
He might not have known what was inside.
I mean, it wouldn't be right to give up his name.
- Yeah, well, when I speak to the police,
I have to give somebody's name,
and Anderson and Grant are the only two I have.
- Ms. Noble, I can't snitch
on a friend who might be innocent.
Let us go find the guy and talk to him, please.
You gotta give us a day.
- I'll give you an hour.
- An hour's good.
- Oh, one question.
If I go to jail, do I still need to take midterms?
- 59 minutes
(audience laughing)
(mid-tempo music)
- Hey yo, Al, raise up, man.
We need to talk.
- Make it quick, bruh. You're blocking my rays.
- It's about that package you gave us.
- Yeah, it was full of cocaine.
- Cocaine?
(chuckles) Yeah right.
And I'm Courtney Love.
(audience laughing)
- Al, are you dealing drugs?
- Step off, man.
You know I'm not into that.
- Oh yeah?
Then what's that white stuff on your upper lip?
- It's called sugar from the donut I just ate.
Why? You want one?
- Oh, you got a bear claw in there?
- Would you forget the stupid bear claw?
Hey man, look, the package you gave us broke open
and there was cocaine inside.
- That's impossible.
You're outta your mind!
- No man. Noble found it during our locker search.
She thinks the drugs belong to us.
- Man, this ain't right.
I gots to call Tonio.
- Nah, kid, first you gotta straighten this out
with Ms. Noble before she turns us in to the police.
- Definitely, man. I'm straightening this out.
- Good.
Jamal's too pretty to go to jail now.
(audience laughing)
- I mean, it just doesn't make sense.
I can't believe Chris and Jamal were caught with cocaine.
Hey, maybe that's why they got kicked
out those other schools.
- I think they could have managed that without drugs.
- Hey. Have y'all ladies seen Ms. Noble around?
- Yeah, she was in the hallway.
Talking to a police officer.
- Maybe I'll wait for her out here.
- Yo, rocket man.
- Tonio, what are you doing here?
- I came to talk about the weather.
What do you think?
My package.
Where is it?
- Oh boss, you're not gonna believe this.
Somebody put drugs up in that package.
- (gasps) Yeah?
Me.
(audience laughing)
- You?
You mean you're not in the electronics business?
- Kid, if you're the average public school student,
I'm glad I dropped out.
Deliver my package today or else.
(mid-tempo music)
- I swear to you Ms. Noble,
I had no idea that Tonio was a drug dealer.
- Oh, come on, Alberto.
There was signs.
All that free stuff.
Maybe you just didn't wanna see the truth.
- I guess.
I mean, it was kinda weird
that a guy who sells TVs needs a bodyguard.
(audience laughing)
- You wanted to see us?
- I never wanna see you.
It's my job.
I've been talking to Alberto
and now I know those weren't your drugs.
- Well, I'm glad that's all cleared up.
Later, Ms. Noble.
- Yeah, we out.
- Not so fast.
Sit.
You know, none of you is completely innocent.
Alberto had his head in the sand,
but you too shoulda brought that package to me
as soon as you knew what it was.
- Yeah, but it's not like we're the drug dealers.
- Maybe not.
But you helped the drug dealers
by handling things the way you did.
Silence helps keep a problem alive.
- Thanks for giving us the time
to straighten this out, Ms. Noble.
- Yeah.
You gave us an hour more than my dad woulda given me.
- Yeah, you're welcome.
Now go straight back to class.
- Man, that was close.
- I'm just glad it's over.
All right, man.
(pager beeping)
- It ain't over for me.
(sad music)
(mid-tempo music)
- I'm glad you guys weren't involved in selling drugs.
I mean, you could have wound up doing hard time
in the big house,
up the river, doing the nickel-and-dime in the pokey.
- Girl, you have got to stop sticking your head
in the copy machine.
- Well, now that I'm not going to jail, Cassidy,
I'm free Saturday night.
- I bet you're free every Saturday night.
(audience laughing)
- You're starting to like me, aren't you?
- Yeah. About as much as a bad case of the chicken pox.
- Well, I'm just glad the drugs are off the streets.
The police have the cocaine and finally everything is cool.
- I don't think so.
- [Dawn] Al! What happened?
- My boss, Tonio.
He warned me that this is just a down payment
on what I'll get coming to me
if I don't come up with the $2,000 for the drugs.
- Maybe you should go to Noble.
- What's she gonna do?
Give him the tension?
I need this money.
- Hey Chris, you're rich.
Bust open that bank account and give Al the cash.
- Oh, don't I wish.
My dad has all the money.
- Tonio's gonna gonna be waiting for me after school today.
I'm dead meat. I don't know what to do.
(soft suspenseful music)
- Yo, Al. Check it out.
- Aw man, I got a bad feeling about this plan.
You sure you can scare off Tonio?
- Man, look at me.
I make a fool bow down, you know.
(audience laughing)
- Man, Tonio's gonna be here any minute.
Where's Chris?
- Oh, look, man. He went to get the camera, but relax.
Hey, if anything goes wrong,
I'll say the code word and we'll run.
- Well, what's the code word?
- Run.
(audience laughing)
- Yo, yo, what up, boy?
- Hey yo, that's pretty cool, man.
I'm scared of you.
- Yeah. Word to your grandmamma.
And kick the curb.
This G is down with the jive talk.
- Is it time to run?
- Hey man, maybe I should do the talking.
- We've got some businesses take care of, rocket boy.
- Actually, it's rocket man.
But that's not important right now.
- Yo, Tonio, you got business with my homie Al,
you got business with us.
It's our turf now.
- I haven't seen you guys around.
Where is your turf?
- It's from that fence to that wall.
(audience laughing)
It's a small turf, but we like it.
(audience laughing)
- Listen up, partner.
I know my homie Al owes you a large sack,
but we gonna handle this business-like.
- Where's my two grand?
- Hey, what we got is better than two grand.
What we got is state of the yard video, bruh.
Show him the goods.
(Tonio laughs)
- This isn't a swap meat.
If I take this, people will start paying me
in toasters and chickens.
- He does have a point.
- Yo, come on, Tonio.
You can sell that bad boy in used camera department.
- Buy a clue, kid.
I don't sell cameras.
I sell drugs.
I want the money for my cocaine.
Now.
(school bell rings)
- What do you boys think you're doing?
You know there's a rule against wearing hats in school.
Now run along to gym class.
- Whoa, nobody's going anywhere until I get my money.
- Hey, I ain't got your money, man.
- Exactly who are you
and what are you doing in my schoolyard?
- I am who I am and I do whatever I want.
Take a walk with me, Alberto.
- No! Alberto stays right here.
I'm guessing you must be this Tonio character.
Well I've already turned the drugs over to the police.
Alberto has to do with this anymore.
It's over.
- Oh no, this isn't over yet.
- Oh, yes it is.
We got everything you said on tape.
- Yeah, and I think the cops will especially like the part
where you tell everyone you're a drug dealer.
- Get out.
And if anything ever happens to any of these kids,
you will see me again.
- Ah, this ain't worth the trouble.
And Al, you're fired!
(audience laughing)
- Oh yeah?
I collect unemployment!
(all cheering)
- Okay, okay.
Hey, come on.
You're all late for class.
Get going.
Go on.
- Ms. Noble,
it was kinda cool the way we outsmarted Tonio though, huh?
- No, it was pretty dumb.
Tonio coulda had a gun.
- We didn't think about that.
- You didn't think about a lot of things.
- Yeah. I guess that was kinda stupid.
Coulda got hurt.
- Yeah. Along with a lot of other students of this school.
This was a situation for the police.
Not you three bozos running around playing Inspector Gadget.
(audience laughing)
- Trust me, Ms. Noble,
from now on, I'ma be a lot smarter
about who I associate with.
I mean, this time it almost got me killed.
- Yeah.
You gotta learn to keep your eyes open.
That is once the swelling goes down.
(audience laughing)
- You know, Ms. Noble,
I think we all learned our lesson here.
And I'm sure you would agree
that punishing us wouldn't accomplish anything.
- Hmm. Nice try.
Give me the tape.
I'm going to the police.
- Well, do you have to take this tape?
I mean, we can make you a copy.
It ain't no problem.
- Goodbye.
Oh, and when I get back,
we're all gonna have our own private little lockdown.
(Ms. Noble laughs)
- Aw man.
- What's the matter?
Look, we can handle a little detention.
- Forget detention.
The first part of that tape had the cheerleaders on it, man.

We don't even touch the stuff.

- All right. Here's the plan.
As soon as Noble heads for the locker,
I'll poke you in the eye.
See, your screaming will cause a diversion.
- Now, hold up.
Why am I the one getting poked in the eye?
- 'Cause I'm the one who came up with the plan.
- Look man, just chill.
Nobody's poking anybody's eye, okay?
Noble's only a checking student lockers.
She won't even look in the video locker.
- Okay. Cassidy, you're next.
(Ms. Noble giggles)
(students wooing)
- Oh, take a shower.
I'm doing a commercial.
I'm the new Tahiti Tan girl.
It's a job.
- You know, I'll help rub the lotion on your back.
- Now that'll kinda be hard with a broken arm.
- Chris, Jamal, your lockers are next.
- Ha ha! No laptop.
- Yeah, no books either.
- Yeah, see Ms. Noble, all I have is a Game Boy,
a basketball and a Tony Braxton poster.
Bye, baby.
Well, so much for the locker search.
It's time for class.
Let's hit those books, shall we?
- Yeah, we've got learning to do, peoples.
- Hey, hold on.
We didn't search the video locker.
- Eh, there's no computers in there.
- Yeah, that's right.
Nothing but video equipment.
You know, tapes, cables, all kind of lenses.
Long ones, short ones, medium ones.
Was that the bell?
(audience laughing)
- What do we have here?
- Quick. Poke me in the eye.
(audience laughing)
(light music)
Ms. Noble, there's a perfectly good explanation
for drugs being in our locker.
- I'm waiting to hear it.
- So am I.
- Are you two selling drugs?
- No way. We'd never do that.
Not even Chris is whack enough to sell drugs.
- Oh, thanks. Really.
- Okay then, are you two using drugs?
- Don't be stupid.
I mean, no ma'am.
- Boys, the drugs were found in your locker.
Where did they come from?
- Shoot. I don't know.
Columbia maybe.
- Hey, this is no laughing matter.
You brought drugs into my school.
- No we didn't. We swear.
- Then who did?
- Okay.
Look, the truth is we got the package from a friend.
- Whose name is not important right now.
He might not have known what was inside.
I mean, it wouldn't be right to give up his name.
- Yeah, well, when I speak to the police,
I have to give somebody's name,
and Anderson and Grant are the only two I have.
- Ms. Noble, I can't snitch
on a friend who might be innocent.
Let us go find the guy and talk to him, please.
You gotta give us a day.
- I'll give you an hour.
- An hour's good.
- Oh, one question.
If I go to jail, do I still need to take midterms?
- 59 minutes
(audience laughing)
(mid-tempo music)
- Hey yo, Al, raise up, man.
We need to talk.
- Make it quick, bruh. You're blocking my rays.
- It's about that package you gave us.
- Yeah, it was full of cocaine.
- Cocaine?
(chuckles) Yeah right.
And I'm Courtney Love.
(audience laughing)
- Al, are you dealing drugs?
- Step off, man.
You know I'm not into that.
- Oh yeah?
Then what's that white stuff on your upper lip?
- It's called sugar from the donut I just ate.
Why? You want one?
- Oh, you got a bear claw in there?
- Would you forget the stupid bear claw?
Hey man, look, the package you gave us broke open
and there was cocaine inside.
- That's impossible.
You're outta your mind!
- No man. Noble found it during our locker search.
She thinks the drugs belong to us.
- Man, this ain't right.
I gots to call Tonio.
- Nah, kid, first you gotta straighten this out
with Ms. Noble before she turns us in to the police.
- Definitely, man. I'm straightening this out.
- Good.
Jamal's too pretty to go to jail now.
(audience laughing)
- I mean, it just doesn't make sense.
I can't believe Chris and Jamal were caught with cocaine.
Hey, maybe that's why they got kicked
out those other schools.
- I think they could have managed that without drugs.
- Hey. Have y'all ladies seen Ms. Noble around?
- Yeah, she was in the hallway.
Talking to a police officer.
- Maybe I'll wait for her out here.
- Yo, rocket man.
- Tonio, what are you doing here?
- I came to talk about the weather.
What do you think?
My package.
Where is it?
- Oh boss, you're not gonna believe this.
Somebody put drugs up in that package.
- (gasps) Yeah?
Me.
(audience laughing)
- You?
You mean you're not in the electronics business?
- Kid, if you're the average public school student,
I'm glad I dropped out.
Deliver my package today or else.
(mid-tempo music)
- I swear to you Ms. Noble,
I had no idea that Tonio was a drug dealer.
- Oh, come on, Alberto.
There was signs.
All that free stuff.
Maybe you just didn't wanna see the truth.
- I guess.
I mean, it was kinda weird
that a guy who sells TVs needs a bodyguard.
(audience laughing)
- You wanted to see us?
- I never wanna see you.
It's my job.
I've been talking to Alberto
and now I know those weren't your drugs.
- Well, I'm glad that's all cleared up.
Later, Ms. Noble.
- Yeah, we out.
- Not so fast.
Sit.
You know, none of you is completely innocent.
Alberto had his head in the sand,
but you too shoulda brought that package to me
as soon as you knew what it was.
- Yeah, but it's not like we're the drug dealers.
- Maybe not.
But you helped the drug dealers
by handling things the way you did.
Silence helps keep a problem alive.
- Thanks for giving us the time
to straighten this out, Ms. Noble.
- Yeah.
You gave us an hour more than my dad woulda given me.
- Yeah, you're welcome.
Now go straight back to class.
- Man, that was close.
- I'm just glad it's over.
All right, man.
(pager beeping)
- It ain't over for me.
(sad music)
(mid-tempo music)
- I'm glad you guys weren't involved in selling drugs.
I mean, you could have wound up doing hard time
in the big house,
up the river, doing the nickel-and-dime in the pokey.
- Girl, you have got to stop sticking your head
in the copy machine.
- Well, now that I'm not going to jail, Cassidy,
I'm free Saturday night.
- I bet you're free every Saturday night.
(audience laughing)
- You're starting to like me, aren't you?
- Yeah. About as much as a bad case of the chicken pox.
- Well, I'm just glad the drugs are off the streets.
The police have the cocaine and finally everything is cool.
- I don't think so.
- [Dawn] Al! What happened?
- My boss, Tonio.
He warned me that this is just a down payment
on what I'll get coming to me
if I don't come up with the $2,000 for the drugs.
- Maybe you should go to Noble.
- What's she gonna do?
Give him the tension?
I need this money.
- Hey Chris, you're rich.
Bust open that bank account and give Al the cash.
- Oh, don't I wish.
My dad has all the money.
- Tonio's gonna gonna be waiting for me after school today.
I'm dead meat. I don't know what to do.
(soft suspenseful music)
- Yo, Al. Check it out.
- Aw man, I got a bad feeling about this plan.
You sure you can scare off Tonio?
- Man, look at me.
I make a fool bow down, you know.
(audience laughing)
- Man, Tonio's gonna be here any minute.
Where's Chris?
- Oh, look, man. He went to get the camera, but relax.
Hey, if anything goes wrong,
I'll say the code word and we'll run.
- Well, what's the code word?
- Run.
(audience laughing)
- Yo, yo, what up, boy?
- Hey yo, that's pretty cool, man.
I'm scared of you.
- Yeah. Word to your grandmamma.
And kick the curb.
This G is down with the jive talk.
- Is it time to run?
- Hey man, maybe I should do the talking.
- We've got some businesses take care of, rocket boy.
- Actually, it's rocket man.
But that's not important right now.
- Yo, Tonio, you got business with my homie Al,
you got business with us.
It's our turf now.
- I haven't seen you guys around.
Where is your turf?
- It's from that fence to that wall.
(audience laughing)
It's a small turf, but we like it.
(audience laughing)
- Listen up, partner.
I know my homie Al owes you a large sack,
but we gonna handle this business-like.
- Where's my two grand?
- Hey, what we got is better than two grand.
What we got is state of the yard video, bruh.
Show him the goods.
(Tonio laughs)
- This isn't a swap meat.
If I take this, people will start paying me
in toasters and chickens.
- He does have a point.
- Yo, come on, Tonio.
You can sell that bad boy in used camera department.
- Buy a clue, kid.
I don't sell cameras.
I sell drugs.
I want the money for my cocaine.
Now.
(school bell rings)
- What do you boys think you're doing?
You know there's a rule against wearing hats in school.
Now run along to gym class.
- Whoa, nobody's going anywhere until I get my money.
- Hey, I ain't got your money, man.
- Exactly who are you
and what are you doing in my schoolyard?
- I am who I am and I do whatever I want.
Take a walk with me, Alberto.
- No! Alberto stays right here.
I'm guessing you must be this Tonio character.
Well I've already turned the drugs over to the police.
Alberto has to do with this anymore.
It's over.
- Oh no, this isn't over yet.
- Oh, yes it is.
We got everything you said on tape.
- Yeah, and I think the cops will especially like the part
where you tell everyone you're a drug dealer.
- Get out.
And if anything ever happens to any of these kids,
you will see me again.
- Ah, this ain't worth the trouble.
And Al, you're fired!
(audience laughing)
- Oh yeah?
I collect unemployment!
(all cheering)
- Okay, okay.
Hey, come on.
You're all late for class.
Get going.
Go on.
- Ms. Noble,
it was kinda cool the way we outsmarted Tonio though, huh?
- No, it was pretty dumb.
Tonio coulda had a gun.
- We didn't think about that.
- You didn't think about a lot of things.
- Yeah. I guess that was kinda stupid.
Coulda got hurt.
- Yeah. Along with a lot of other students of this school.
This was a situation for the police.
Not you three bozos running around playing Inspector Gadget.
(audience laughing)
- Trust me, Ms. Noble,
from now on, I'ma be a lot smarter
about who I associate with.
I mean, this time it almost got me killed.
- Yeah.
You gotta learn to keep your eyes open.
That is once the swelling goes down.
(audience laughing)
- You know, Ms. Noble,
I think we all learned our lesson here.
And I'm sure you would agree
that punishing us wouldn't accomplish anything.
- Hmm. Nice try.
Give me the tape.
I'm going to the police.
- Well, do you have to take this tape?
I mean, we can make you a copy.
It ain't no problem.
- Goodbye.
Oh, and when I get back,
we're all gonna have our own private little lockdown.
(Ms. Noble laughs)
- Aw man.
- What's the matter?
Look, we can handle a little detention.
- Forget detention.
The first part of that tape had the cheerleaders on it, man.
(audience laughing)
(mid-tempo music)
