My Perfect Landing (2020): Season 1, Episode 10 - Training Day - full transcript
Grandpa Gus trains Jenny for the Qualifier, but his techniques are somewhat unusual.
JENNY:
Previously on
My Perfect Landing:
Nice. Stretch those knees,
please, point your feet.
Name one reason why you
shouldn't go to Hillside?
Number one, my mom,
and I don't have a coach,
and I don't have anywhere to
train, which is three reasons.
I wanna compete as an individual
for Cortez Gymnastics.
Oh, your mom's not gonna
like that.
Oh, your hands are blistered.
I'm fine.
Enough bar work today.
Time to get ready for school.
I don't want to go to school.
I want you to be my coach.
Don't you think I have what
it takes to go to Hillside?
I think you can win Hillside,
but I don't like the idea
of hiding it from your mom.
It's the only way.
[♪♪♪]
[YAWNS]
Been a while since I've been up
for a 6:00 a.m. practice.
Too early for you, Grandpa?
A little, yeah, but I'll adjust.
So I guess this is
how you got so good in Miami,
these secret trainings?
Can't have Mom finding out.
Well, uh, why don't you go
and show me
your floor routine again?
[♪♪♪]
How was that?
[SIGHS]
Look, you're great.
I think we're just
talking details at this point,
little nitty-gritty things,
the ticky-tacky stuff.
You're not gonna talk that
way the whole time, are you?
Come on. Who doesn't love
to say "ticky-tacky"? Try it.
Ticky-tacky.
That does nothing for me.
Can we go back to training?
Sure.
Get into a handstand, look up...
And your mom's here.
There you are. I was looking
everywhere for you.
What are you guys doing?
We were getting that
fruit shipment, remember?
One might ask
what you're doing up.
Well, Jenny's alarm
kept going off,
and when I couldn't find
her upstairs, I came down here.
And now I need a coffee.
[WHISPERING] That was close.
Yep.

[♪♪♪]
Hey, honey.
Hey.
Heading out for my girl's night.
Tonight we're playing darts.
You deserve a night out.
I kind of don't feel like going.
I could stay. We could hang out.
No, you've been
working really hard
and I have
a lot of homework to do.
Okay. Don't stay up too late.
[♪♪♪]
[WHISPERING]
Gus?
Gus?
You're not gonna have time
for homework.
Yeah, I know. Let's train.
Okay, after this morning's
practice, I had some thoughts.
Good.
Know what a lot of people think?
They think greatness
is about going out there
and just knocking it
out of the park.
The truth is, it's actually
about the little things.
So, what do you want to work on?
My landings?
No, your gym bag.
What?
Yeah. Organize it.
Seriously?
Heh, greatness is not slovenly.
Yeah, I know.
What do you want me
to start with?
Your water bottle.
I didn't bring one.
I live upstairs.
I appreciate the sass,
but what if I wanted
to do some running outside?
You'd be out of luck.
I guess so.
And what if you
ripped your leotard?
Or did you bring headphones
for your pump-up music?
Do you have a Band-Aid?
Scrunchies?
Do you have towels?
Protein bars?
You sound like
I'm packing for camp.
You're packing for battle.
[♪♪♪]
[STUDENTS CHATTERING]
Everybody take a seat.
All right.
You are here because,
for whatever reason,
your efforts in
your science classes
leave something to be desired.
So you're gonna do
a make-up project.
It's gonna take a week.
You're gonna be doing it
during school, after school.
I want you guys
to be dreaming this.
Paul, why'd you
sign up for this?
You already have
the highest mark in the school.
Bonus points.
There are no bonus points.
In my head.
Fine. Knock yourself out.
All right.
I have assigned partners.
Here's the list.
KEISHA & RACHEL:
No!
Keisha? No way.
I'm with Rachel?
BOTH:
We're partners!
Mr. Vine, you split up
the Dream Team?
You guys are
always partners, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's why you're failing.
You wouldn't be wrong.
Oh, by the way,
you don't pass this,
you're all going
to summer school.
[ALL GROANING]
[BELL RINGS]
[♪♪♪]
Is it just me, or does it smell
like mediocrity in here?
Oh, wait, it's just Jenny.
[OLIVIA CHUCKLES]
GUS:
How's it going, kiddo?
Done. Perfectly organized.
Okay. Walk me through it.
Over on the right side,
I have my water bottle
because I'm right-handed.
On the left side,
I have my t-shirts.
Smart.
Here, I have my scrunchie space.
My scrunchies are organized
from darkest to brightest.
That's nice attention to detail.
What's that there?
This? It's my book to read
in-between events.
I put the spine up, so it's
easier to grab it from my bag.
That's a hell of a gym bag.
Happy now?
Can we finally start training?
Sure. Come on over here.
Step up on that,
stand on one leg,
lift the other one real high.
Now what?
If you fall off,
you get back up
and you start again.
Seriously?!
Look at how good Olivia is.
I want to be doing that.
Yeah, yeah, forget about her.
Five minutes, starting now.
[♪♪♪]
All right.
By now, you should have decided
what you want
your project to be.
Done.
You finished already?
This was supposed
to take the whole week.
Don't think it's good enough?
I'm sure it's good enough.
I'm sure you're probably
a science genius.
Not official, but thanks.
Yeah, but, genius,
what are you gonna do
the rest of the week?
We thought we'd just
show up on Friday.
Hm. Think again.
Attendance is mandatory.
But you know what?
I got a great idea.
Do another one.
JOON:
You got it, Mr. Vine.
[WHISPERING]
Keisha! Keisha!
How's it going with Tori?
I can't spend all week
like this.
She hasn't looked up from her
phone the whole time.
We have to figure out
something.
PAUL:
We finished another one, sir.
It's a cross between
a canary and a mouse.
The "moucan."
"Moucan"?
In the trash can.
[SIGHS]
[♪♪♪]
Joon, your sister
and I need to talk.
Say no more.
What you doing?
Training.
I thought I asked you to run
around the mat backwards.
Just gonna ignore me?
Your training's not
making me any better.
You have to trust the process.
I feel like
I'm just getting worse.
What makes you think that?
Olivia's killing it
and I'm organizing my gym bag.
Well, it's a marathon,
not a sprint.
You sound like Mom. Are you
worried I'm gonna get injured?
No.
Then what is it?
Look, the world's greatest
athletes see a challenge
and they conquer it,
whether it's organizing a bag
or sticking a landing.
The qualifier's this weekend.
I know that.
You haven't coached in years.
Maybe you're starting
to get rusty.
Okay, well,
you have to decide
whether or not you're
gonna trust me.
So why don't you
take the night,
and I will be here bright
and early in the morning.
[♪♪♪]
Hey, Grandpa.
Hey, Jennybean.
How'd you sleep?
Pretty good. You?
Eh, pretty good.
I've been giving
everything a lot of thought.
And?
I trust you.
Great. Follow me.
Really?
You said you trusted me.
I do.
Okay.
You're gonna do a back tuck.
I'm gonna throw the ball,
when you land, you catch it.
Okay.
Ah! You're throwing too early.
No, no, no, no.
Maybe you're trying to
catch too late.
Again.
[♪♪♪]
[GROANS]
GUS:
Oop, close.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
This is impossible.
It's not impossible.
[GROANS]
[SIGHS]
Again.
Oh, my arm's so tired!
You're a little bit
ahead of the ball.
Don't think about the ball.
Think about the landing.
I did it!
You caught it!
And better than that,
you stuck the landing.
What's next?
Uh, clean up these balls.
What will I learn doing that?
Uh, you're not gonna
learn anything.
It's just that
I got a bad back.
JENNY:
Okay.
[♪♪♪]
Whoa.
Can we ask you something?
PAUL: What do you want?
Okay, so, we've been partnered
with Tori and Cassie.
And it's slowly
destroying our souls.
I can understand that.
So we want you to take
our partners
so we can be partners.
Why would we do that?
Name your price, boys.
Breakfast cupcakes!
What's that?
Paul knows.
Uh, it's a cupcake that
has eggs and sausage on it.
Okay, fine. Deal?
Yep, deal.
Okay.
We already have a plan,
so just follow along.
[♪♪♪]
This beam is so slippery.
Oh, it's the beam's fault, huh?
I fall every time
in the same spot.
Well, why don't you
talk to the beam?
What?
Go ahead, ask the beam.
Okay. Hi, Mr. Beam.
[IN DEEP VOICE] Hello, Jenny.
Stop it.
Ha, what's this mister business?
You guys are old friends.
Listen, Beamer Beamington.
You're throwing me off
in the same spot every time.
What's going on?
Keep going.
This competition is
really important to me,
so I'd really appreciate it if
we could work together on this.
Great. Get back up there.
I did it!
Huh.
Looks like our chat paid off.
How does that work?
When you learn to respect
the stuff around you,
you end up being more connected.
What's next?
Uh, I think we should go...
I wasn't talking to you.
I was talking to the beam.
Ha-ha-ha.
[LAUGHS]
[♪♪♪]
You ready?
[WHISPERS]
Yeah.
Hey, Cassie, can you
hold this for a second?
Uh, sure.
What are you doing?!
My mom just bought me this!
What?!
You spilled it on yourself!
You liar!
Can you pass me that beaker?
What did you say
about my brother?
What?
I dare you to say that again.
I didn't say anything!
You said it again!
This is supposed
to be a safe place.
I don't know
what's happening.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ladies!
There's no fighting in science.
Keisha has lost her mind.
Say that to my face.
I just did.
Quiet!
Obviously these groups
aren't working, sir.
Brilliant observation, Paul.
But we can help.
In the interest
of class harmony,
Joon and I would be
willing to sub in
as partners for Tori and Cassie.
Uh, it'll be like one
of our science projects.
Fine. Tori, Cassie, do you have
any problem exchanging partners?
Whatever keeps me
out of summer school.
Fine.
Tori, you're with Joon.
Cassie, you're with Paul.
And somehow Rachel and Keisha
have found their way
back to each other.
I can't wait to
see your science project!
Yes! We're back together!
One problem.
We've only got one day left
and we don't have a project.
VINE:
Okay, class is over.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
[♪♪♪]
So, Jenny...
Jenny?
Huh?
I didn't want to say
anything at dinner,
but your principal,
Mr. Vine, e-mailed me.
Like about a class thing?
Well, he says that
you're falling behind in math,
that you missed
a whole assignment.
I did? Which one?
The fact that you
don't know is proof enough.
You told me that you were
doing your homework.
I've just been
a little distracted this week.
Come sit down.
Honey, what's going on?
It's nothing.
Jenny, you can talk to me.
I'll make up
the assignment next week.
That is no way
to deal with this.
Honestly, who even
cares about math?
Where is this coming from?
I'm just tired.
Never mind.
I'll do my math.
[DOOR OPENS, SLAMS]
[♪♪♪]
You're late.
Sorry. I had to finish
my math project
and sneaking away
from Mom was tricky.
Okay, start warming up.
Qualifier's tomorrow.
About that, I don't know
if I can train today.
I'm really behind in school.
How badly do you want this?
Hillside? More than anything.
You can't cut back on
training and win Hillside.
You gotta figure out
a way to juggle both.
So technically
giving up my life?
No. Technically
going for greatness.
Okay.
Good. Start warming up.
[♪♪♪]
Hey, honey. I have cake.
I'm not hungry.
It's red velvet.
[SIGHS]
You know, honey, I always
had to work really hard
when I was in school because
I was so busy with gymnastics.
Well, that's not what this is.
I know, but what is it?
Please tell me.
Oh. I see what's going on.
You do?
It's me, isn't it?
I have been so distracted
since we moved here.
I know it hasn't been
easy for you.
That's true.
I haven't been giving you
the attention you need.
Is that it?
I guess.
I know you're going
through so much...
A new country,
new school, new friends.
You have no idea.
Oh, sweetheart...
Don't worry.
I'm gonna fix this.
Best mom ever
starting right now. Okay?
[♪♪♪]
JOON:
Paul showed me this.
First, you pour this beaker
into this one.
TORI:
Whoa! It's like a foam party!
Chemistry rocks.
Almost as much as Geology.
Get it? The study of rocks.
[GIGGLES]
One aspect of quantum physics is
that one item
can exist in many places
at the same time.
Oh, okay. So kind of like
when I send a group text
and all my friends get it?
Yes!
You know, you should give me
your number and we can test it.
Never gonna happen.
All right, class. Ten minutes.
Finish up,
then tomorrow, show time.
Rachel, Keisha,
tick-tock, tick-tock!
Summer school is
around the block.
Ugh. This is horrible!
Everybody else has figured out
something. How come we can't?
What's something we're good at?
Dancing?
Singing.
Movement.
Sound!
BOTH:
Kinetic energy!
That's it!
Let's do it!
[♪♪♪]
TORI:
In conclusion, we found out
that electromagnetic fields
impede plant growth.
Ta-da!
Great job, Tori and Joon.
C-plus.
Yes! Up high.
Next up, Rachel and Keisha.
RACHEL [LOW ENERGY]:
How's it going?
[SIGHS]
I'm bored.
You know what can
spice up this presentation?
What?
Kinetic energy.

So I guess that was
the last presentation.
Uh, wait, sir.
Cassie and I haven't gone yet.
Uh, yeah. I'll give you a B-plus

[WHISPERING]
Shh, shh, shh. Okay.
Hey, hey, hey.
Are you gonna be able to sleep?
Are you kidding?
I just qualified for Hillside.
I'm never gonna be able
to sleep ever again.
I know. You should be
very proud of yourself.
Whoa. You guys
are back late.
How was the drive-in?
Um, it was funny
and then I fell asleep.
I thought you guys went to go
see a monster movie.
Yeah, but the first movie
was a comedy.
Yeah. It's the second one
that was the scary one.
I had my eyes closed
through half of it.
Don't even think about
asking me questions about it.
Well, I'm glad you
guys had a good time,
but it's really late.
Jenny, off to bed.
I feel so bad
about lying to her.
You wanna tell her?
No.
That's what I thought.
Take tonight to feel bad.
Monday, we start
training for Hillside.
Okay.
Come here.
I'm very, very proud of you.
Thank you.
Okay, get some sleep.

ahead of the ball.
Don't think about the ball.
Think about the landing.
I did it!
You caught it!
And better than that,
you stuck the landing.
What's next?
Uh, clean up these balls.
What will I learn doing that?
Uh, you're not gonna
learn anything.
It's just that
I got a bad back.
JENNY:
Okay.
[♪♪♪]
Whoa.
Can we ask you something?
PAUL: What do you want?
Okay, so, we've been partnered
with Tori and Cassie.
And it's slowly
destroying our souls.
I can understand that.
So we want you to take
our partners
so we can be partners.
Why would we do that?
Name your price, boys.
Breakfast cupcakes!
What's that?
Paul knows.
Uh, it's a cupcake that
has eggs and sausage on it.
Okay, fine. Deal?
Yep, deal.
Okay.
We already have a plan,
so just follow along.
[♪♪♪]
This beam is so slippery.
Oh, it's the beam's fault, huh?
I fall every time
in the same spot.
Well, why don't you
talk to the beam?
What?
Go ahead, ask the beam.
Okay. Hi, Mr. Beam.
[IN DEEP VOICE] Hello, Jenny.
Stop it.
Ha, what's this mister business?
You guys are old friends.
Listen, Beamer Beamington.
You're throwing me off
in the same spot every time.
What's going on?
Keep going.
This competition is
really important to me,
so I'd really appreciate it if
we could work together on this.
Great. Get back up there.
I did it!
Huh.
Looks like our chat paid off.
How does that work?
When you learn to respect
the stuff around you,
you end up being more connected.
What's next?
Uh, I think we should go...
I wasn't talking to you.
I was talking to the beam.
Ha-ha-ha.
[LAUGHS]
[♪♪♪]
You ready?
[WHISPERS]
Yeah.
Hey, Cassie, can you
hold this for a second?
Uh, sure.
What are you doing?!
My mom just bought me this!
What?!
You spilled it on yourself!
You liar!
Can you pass me that beaker?
What did you say
about my brother?
What?
I dare you to say that again.
I didn't say anything!
You said it again!
This is supposed
to be a safe place.
I don't know
what's happening.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ladies!
There's no fighting in science.
Keisha has lost her mind.
Say that to my face.
I just did.
Quiet!
Obviously these groups
aren't working, sir.
Brilliant observation, Paul.
But we can help.
In the interest
of class harmony,
Joon and I would be
willing to sub in
as partners for Tori and Cassie.
Uh, it'll be like one
of our science projects.
Fine. Tori, Cassie, do you have
any problem exchanging partners?
Whatever keeps me
out of summer school.
Fine.
Tori, you're with Joon.
Cassie, you're with Paul.
And somehow Rachel and Keisha
have found their way
back to each other.
I can't wait to
see your science project!
Yes! We're back together!
One problem.
We've only got one day left
and we don't have a project.
VINE:
Okay, class is over.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
[♪♪♪]
So, Jenny...
Jenny?
Huh?
I didn't want to say
anything at dinner,
but your principal,
Mr. Vine, e-mailed me.
Like about a class thing?
Well, he says that
you're falling behind in math,
that you missed
a whole assignment.
I did? Which one?
The fact that you
don't know is proof enough.
You told me that you were
doing your homework.
I've just been
a little distracted this week.
Come sit down.
Honey, what's going on?
It's nothing.
Jenny, you can talk to me.
I'll make up
the assignment next week.
That is no way
to deal with this.
Honestly, who even
cares about math?
Where is this coming from?
I'm just tired.
Never mind.
I'll do my math.
[DOOR OPENS, SLAMS]
[♪♪♪]
You're late.
Sorry. I had to finish
my math project
and sneaking away
from Mom was tricky.
Okay, start warming up.
Qualifier's tomorrow.
About that, I don't know
if I can train today.
I'm really behind in school.
How badly do you want this?
Hillside? More than anything.
You can't cut back on
training and win Hillside.
You gotta figure out
a way to juggle both.
So technically
giving up my life?
No. Technically
going for greatness.
Okay.
Good. Start warming up.
[♪♪♪]
Hey, honey. I have cake.
I'm not hungry.
It's red velvet.
[SIGHS]
You know, honey, I always
had to work really hard
when I was in school because
I was so busy with gymnastics.
Well, that's not what this is.
I know, but what is it?
Please tell me.
Oh. I see what's going on.
You do?
It's me, isn't it?
I have been so distracted
since we moved here.
I know it hasn't been
easy for you.
That's true.
I haven't been giving you
the attention you need.
Is that it?
I guess.
I know you're going
through so much...
A new country,
new school, new friends.
You have no idea.
Oh, sweetheart...
Don't worry.
I'm gonna fix this.
Best mom ever
starting right now. Okay?
[♪♪♪]
JOON:
Paul showed me this.
First, you pour this beaker
into this one.
TORI:
Whoa! It's like a foam party!
Chemistry rocks.
Almost as much as Geology.
Get it? The study of rocks.
[GIGGLES]
One aspect of quantum physics is
that one item
can exist in many places
at the same time.
Oh, okay. So kind of like
when I send a group text
and all my friends get it?
Yes!
You know, you should give me
your number and we can test it.
Never gonna happen.
All right, class. Ten minutes.
Finish up,
then tomorrow, show time.
Rachel, Keisha,
tick-tock, tick-tock!
Summer school is
around the block.
Ugh. This is horrible!
Everybody else has figured out
something. How come we can't?
What's something we're good at?
Dancing?
Singing.
Movement.
Sound!
BOTH:
Kinetic energy!
That's it!
Let's do it!
[♪♪♪]
TORI:
In conclusion, we found out
that electromagnetic fields
impede plant growth.
Ta-da!
Great job, Tori and Joon.
C-plus.
Yes! Up high.
Next up, Rachel and Keisha.
RACHEL [LOW ENERGY]:
How's it going?
[SIGHS]
I'm bored.
You know what can
spice up this presentation?
What?
Kinetic energy.

[STUDENTS APPLAUDING]
Nothing to do with science, but
hot diggity, that was catchy.
C-plus.
Yes! Whoo!
Whoo! Yeah!
Let's do this thing! Whoo!
So I guess that was
the last presentation.
Uh, wait, sir.
Cassie and I haven't gone yet.
Uh, yeah. I'll give you a B-plus
just to get it over with.
Uh, but, sir,
you should really hear this.
Apparently we found
a brand new prime number.
[GASPS]
C-plus.
Okay, you all passed.
Summer school is canceled.
[ALL CHEERING, APPLAUDING]
[♪♪♪]
[WHISPERING]
Shh, shh, shh. Okay.
Hey, hey, hey.
Are you gonna be able to sleep?
Are you kidding?
I just qualified for Hillside.
I'm never gonna be able
to sleep ever again.
I know. You should be
very proud of yourself.
Whoa. You guys
are back late.
How was the drive-in?
Um, it was funny
and then I fell asleep.
I thought you guys went to go
see a monster movie.
Yeah, but the first movie
was a comedy.
Yeah. It's the second one
that was the scary one.
I had my eyes closed
through half of it.
Don't even think about
asking me questions about it.
Well, I'm glad you
guys had a good time,
but it's really late.
Jenny, off to bed.
I feel so bad
about lying to her.
You wanna tell her?
No.
That's what I thought.
Take tonight to feel bad.
Monday, we start
training for Hillside.
Okay.
Come here.
I'm very, very proud of you.
Thank you.
Okay, get some sleep.
