My Perfect Landing (2020): Season 1, Episode 9 - Uninvited Guests - full transcript

If Jenny is going to win a spot at the Qualifier, she needs to train - secretly.

[♪♪♪]

JENNY:
Previously on
My Perfect Landing:

Everyone quiet.
The score's coming in.

ALLISTER:
Third place! Oh, we did it!

[ALL CHEERING]

Congratulations,
you're going to Hillside!

Now we have to do it
again at Hillside.

We? We aren't going to Hillside.

Tori's wrist will
be better by Hillside.

We won't need you anymore.
So you just used me?

Good morning, Jenny.



Ready to retire from
the Canton Gymnastics team,

or am I showing
this video to your mom?

I've got some news for you.
What?

I just recorded
this conversation.

So let me guess.
You want to stay on the team.

No. Not with you as captain.

We just got a new client,
a big one.

That's great! Who is it?

The Canton Gymnastics team.
What?

Starting Monday,
they'll be right here.

They're gonna be here,
in our place, every single day?

WHITNEY:
Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, let me see
what you got, girls.



So nice to finally
have a real team in here.

Yeah, reminds me of
you and your friends.

Remember when you were that age?

They're good too.

Nice! Make sure we're sticking
that landing, right?

Feet together. Nice.

I think they could win Hillside.

Yeah? You watched
them at the qualifier?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, in-between
handing out pamphlets.

But that one, Olivia,
she's pretty good.

She may be the best gymnast
we've ever had in this place.

Yeah...

I don't know about that.
I've seen better.

Okay. I've handed out all the
flyers around the neighborhood.

Good. I printed out
a ton more.

Can I do those later?
I've got a life too.

Someone woke up on
the wrong side of the bed.

I've got phone calls to make.

I get why you're miffed.
Does "miffed" mean angry?

Yes. You can't train with
your team while your mom's here.

That won't be a problem.
I'm not on the team anymore.

But you won them the qualifier.

Turns out they were
just using me to win.

And since Tori will be back in
time for Hillside, I'm out.

So these girls training here
is a nightmare for you?

That's why I'm... "miffed."

Jenny, can we get

some water over here?
Sure.

Looks like the Canton Team
has a water-girl.

[CHUCKLES]

OLIVIA:
I'm thirsty
from all this training.

I will get the water.

Thanks, Grandpa.

Maybe I'll go hang up
some more flyers.

The adrenaline? ♪

Finally happening ♪

Really kicking in ♪

♪ Oh, baby
It's finally happening ♪

♪ Now I've found
My perfect landing ♪

[♪♪♪]

Ladies, good job today!

Olivia, nice enthusiasm.

We'll keep working on it, okay?
See you in home room, right?

Yep.
Yeah.

Ooh, Jenny,

can I just get a word?

Sure.

Okay, I know you quit the team,

but I just
wanted to let you know

that our door is always open.
I told you, I can't.

What's going on with her?

I don't know.
Whatever it is, it isn't good.

Okay, it's just you were
so good in the qualifiers,

and you live upstairs,

and we train down here.
It makes sense.

You don't need me.
Tori will be back.

And please don't talk
to my mom about this.

She needs me to help clean up.

Okay. Okay. I won't be pushy.

Just let me know if you
change your mind, okay, sweetie?

Okay. I'll see you later.

What was that?

I can talk to my teacher
if I want to.

Not about gymnastics, you can't.

I'm not trying to get back
on the team.

Good.

Oops. Girls.

GIRL:
Coming, Olivia.

[♪♪♪]

GUS:
Shh, keep your voice down.

MO:
What did Whitney say
when you told her?

Well, I haven't told her yet.

Gus, come on. You have to.

No, no. This isn't even
your specialty, Mo, okay?

I will tell her
when the time is right.

You can't keep something
this important a secret.

Don't even mention this
to anyone, okay?

I prescribe one hug.

Terrific.
You just crushed my eggs.

[CHUCKLES]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[♪♪♪]

[PHONE RINGING]

I got your S.O.S.
What's going on? Talk to me.

JENNY:
Guess who's
training at Cortez gymnastics?

Not Olivia!

Uh, yeah. Every single day.

I hate her.
Her name should be "Olivi-yuck."

I miss your terrible nicknames.

Know what I want
to call her? A...

[STATIC OVER PHONE]

But my mom says
I can't say that word.

It was bad enough having
to see her at school.

But now in my home too?
When I got your text,

I knew
it was gonna be something bad,

so I sent you
a little surprise.

What is it?

It should be arriving
right now.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Girls for Greatness!

To the rescue!

Why are you
the best human being ever?

I was born that way.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

Aww.

[♪♪♪]

[WHISPERING]
You can move the pawn
and take his queen.

Mm! Smart. Good move.

Ha.
Pawn for a queen. Interesting.

Don't worry about Dace's move.

You've got this one right here.
Kiko, leave me alone.

Stop backseat chessing!

Fine. I'll go play myself.

But one of you has checkmate.
Four moves.

[♪♪♪]

There's an emergency.
My Grandpa has a secret

and I need your help
to find out what it is.

Once we find out the secret,
do we have to keep it?

Because I'm lousy at that.

Like, my mom told me
not to tell anyone,

but she thinks
the Earth is flat.

In fact, once, we tried to drive
to the end of the world,

but we only made it
to Tennessee.

That explains why you
were never vaccinated.

I was. My cool aunt snuck my
sister and me out to a clinic.

Paul, you just told
two secrets in 10 seconds.

I know!
Okay, whatever the secret is,

it is best
to keep me in the dark.

What do you need?

Paul, put your fingers
in your ears.

I should probably also close
my eyes because I can lip read.

Okay. Here's the situation...

[BELL RINGS]

We have to get to class now.

I'll tell you everything
after school.

Let's rendezvous here.

[HUMMING]

Aw, not again!

Girls, let's do lines.
Cartwheels, okay? Here we go.

Nice. Stretch those knees,
please. Point your feet.

Nice ending.
And we're going back, okay?

Engage your glutes.

She's not even that good.

Actually, Olivia is really good.

That's the one thing
I can't say against her.

She must put in
a ton of training.

I say a little less
work in the gym,

and more work on being nice.
I agree.

Yep.

Hey, that was really great.
Oh, my gosh.

Thanks so much for letting us
train here.

Oh, of course.
I'm Olivia, captain of the team.

I've been watching you.
You're really good.

We should have come here
as soon as you opened the gym.

WHITNEY:
I'm happy to have
an elite team here.

Elite? You're so kind.

Olivia, you know
my daughter, Jenny.

Of course.
She's a gymnast too, right?

Mm-hm.
Uh, what level are you again?

I guess four.

And someday, you'll be five.
There's no rush.

It just takes longer
for some people.

That's what I always tell her.
OLIVIA: Gosh, we're so in sync.

I just want to steal your mom.

Can I have her?
Aww.

Whitney, can I get your
feedback on my beam routine?

Yeah, of course.
And can I get a juice?

Sure. Jenny, two juices, please.

Sure, Mom.

That girl is ice cold.

And yet, she has no chill.

[♪♪♪]

[POP MUSIC PLAYING OVER PHONE]

Hey, honey.

Don't you think you're hitting
those bars a little hard?

Jenny?

Jenny?

[SIGHS]

[MUSIC STOPS]

Jenny...

You've been here
for three hours.

Oh, your hands
are all blistered.

I'm fine.

Okay, I think that's
enough bar work today.

Time to get ready for school.
I don't want to go to school.

What's up?
I'm just stressed out.

I have a math test on Tuesday.

I think I need
to stay home to study.

Instead of actually
going to math class?

Why don't you tell me
what's really going on?

It's nothing.

I'm your mom.
You can tell me anything.

It's fine.
I'll figure it out.

Okay.

But you know that if you
need to talk, I'm here.

And remember,

I'm cool mom. I'm lit.

I'm... I'm trending.

I'm hashtag something clever...
Okay!

I'll go to school if you stop
embarrassing yourself.

Deal. Come on.

[♪♪♪]

My grandpa's secret should
be on his laptop,

and you three are gonna
help me find it.

We can hack into his computer
and find out his secret.

Dace, you're
the computer expert.

It's my jam.
If Gus holds this doughnut,

then enters his password
on his laptop,

he'll leave an icing
sugar trail on the keys.

Then, I can get us in.
That's brilliant,

but how do we get my grandpa
away from his computer?

We're going to distract him
with a fake raccoon.

And where do we get
a fake raccoon?

Right here.

[IMITATES RACCOON CHITTERING]

But is Kiko's the best?

[SCREECHING]

[BLEATING]

[GROANING]

ALL:
Kiko it is.

RACHEL:
Okay, Girls for Greatness
meeting starts now.

Any run-ins with Olivia today?

Amazingly, I went the entire day
without seeing her.

School's almost done,
and then you're home free.

Ah, yes, home,
where I have to see her again,

practicing for the competition
that I'm supposed to be in.

Sorry, Jenny.
JENNY: What is that?

[SIGHS]

"Water girl."

Thanks a lot, Olivia.
Oh, relax.

We actually came by to tell you,

we found a way for you
to come to Hillside.

I'm not falling for this.

Seriously, every school's
allowed to enter five gymnasts.

And one water girl.

Did you work on
that little water burn

in your group chat last night?

Yeah. Why don't you H2-go?

Well, why don't you...

What are you still doing here?

[SCOFFS]

This is me waving
bye like a sprinkler.

[IMITATING SPRINKLER]

Thanks, girls,
but they're not even worth it.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Silver Hawk is in position.
On standby. Over.

Powder Boy has entered
the building. Over.

Hey, Mr. Joon's Grandpa.
I brought you a doughnut.

Why?

My mom always said

that you never need
a reason for a doughnut.

Well, your mom's
not wrong about that.

Powder Boy took the bait.

He has entered his lair.
Going into stealth mode. Over.

JOON:
Copy that.

Powder Boy should be checking
his e-mail any second now.

Magic Lantern,
your turn to shine.

Copy. This is Magic Lantern.

Has Powder Boy
entered his password yet?

JOON:
This is Joon Bug.
Affirmative.

Commence raccoon protocol. Over.

Copy.

[KIKO IMITATING RACCOON]

Mr. Gus, there's a raccoon
in the stairwell.

Oh, it sounds angry.
I'll get my broom.

Go, go, go, go!

Time for Silver Hawk to soar.

Fly, Silver Hawk, fly! Over.

Oh, it's dusty.

The keys are very dusty.
The keys are very dusty.

The keys are very dusty.
The keys are very dusty.

Dusty keys, coming through.

Over and out.

Come on, I mean, how long can
they really call you water girl?

I don't know. How many years
do we have at Canton?

Everybody loves
a good water girl.

I like water.
Yeah. You know, if anything,

water girl's a compliment.
And did you know

our body is made up
of 60 percent water,

so in a way,
we're all water girls.

As much as I don't
want to be on the team,

I wish I was going to Hillside.

But isn't there a way you can
compete as an individual?

I do it all the time at
dance competitions.

I'm not quite sure.
Actually, there is.

I'm on the Hillside website
right now.

"In order to compete as...
in the individual competition

at Hillside Platinum, a gymnast
must be part of a club."

I'm part of a club,
Cortez Gymnastics.

What else?
"Each gymnast must qualify

for the club
at a sanctioned qualifier.

And they must qualify
in all four events."

There's a qualifier
this Saturday in Windsor.

That's not far. You know,
I knew there was a reason

for you to come to school today.
Universe, you sly dog!

Jenny's going to Hillside!

I'm not quite sure.
I still have to qualify.

And I'd have to lie
to my mom again. I don't know.

[♪♪♪]

Name one reason why you
shouldn't try to 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 only asked for one.
Okay. Didn't your grandpa say,

"You can't achieve greatness

if you have no obstacles
to overcome"?

Ooh, goosebumps!

What's wrong with this picture?
I'm don't know where to start.

Oh, please.
I'm talking to the water girl.

This bottle is empty.
Fine, I'll fill it.

Not too full. Thanks.

Got it.

Who does she think she is?
The star of the team.

Okay, okay, okay. Insta-poem.

When a star shines too bright

It might be hard
To look at the light

But one day
When everything's right

It will be
Olivia's goodnight

More height! More power!
Let's go, Olivia!

[♪♪♪]

Nice, Olivia!

Come on. Yeah, you've got this.

Nice!

GIRL:
Nice, Olivia!

ALLISTER:
Let's go, Olivia!

GIRL:
Yeah, you've got it!

ALLISTER:
Work it.

[GIRLS CHEERING]

ALLISTER:
Nice!

Nice, Olivia!

Nice! You got it.

Whoo! Come on, you got this.
Let's go.

GIRL:
Yeah! Whoo!

Oliva, nice.

My girl!

Nice! Stick the landing.

Nice!

[ALL CHEERING]

Awesome!
ALLISTER: All right!

Finish strong! Come on!

GIRL:
Yeah! Nice!

[ALL CHEERING]

You owned that!

Like a boss.

It's what I do.

Good enough, Miss Allister?

Yes, it is.

I'm better than her.

No, you're not saying...
Oh! She's saying!

Girls, I'm going to
the next qualifier for Hillside.

Yes! Whoo!
Yes! Oh, yes!

KEISHA: I knew it!
Whoo!

Yes! Come on!
Yes!

That's my girl! Whoo!

NIKO:
It's one of the greatest
elements, in my opinion.

But what's your element again?

I-I gotta admit,
I'm kind of more of a...

And done.
Mm...

You found Gus' secret?
No,finally closed

all his
half played solitaire games.

Now we can search his e-mail.

What are we looking for?

I don't know. Something secret.

Look, his calendar is open.
Check his appointments.

"Follow-up appointment
with Dr. Porter."

Search the doctor's address.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

She's a cardiologist.

That's a heart doctor.

What are you doing now?

I'm searching if he got
any e-mails from Dr. Porter.

I found something.
Test results.

Well, read it.

"Sudden erratic heart beats.
Arrhythmia."

I don't get it.
What does this all mean?

I think it means your grandpa
has a heart condition.

My grandpa's sick?

[♪♪♪]

Have you seen my laptop?

I want to compete at Hillside.

What? I thought you
weren't on the team.

I wanna compete as an individual
for Cortez Gymnastics.

Oh, your mom's not gonna
like that.

I know.
That's why we can't tell her.

Then why you telling me?
I want you to be my coach.

[SCOFFS]

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.

Oh, she's not gonna like this.
So you're gonna help me qualify?

Where is it?
Windsor. This Saturday.

You know
I'm an old-school coach, right?

There's not gonna be any apps

or a little trophy
for participating,

and I'm done with the pep talks.

What about bathroom breaks?
Yeah, I'm old,

so we'll need a lot of those.

[CHUCKLES]

Just promise me
you'll keep this a secret.

Okay, Jennybean. Let's do it.

Thanks, Grandpa.

[♪♪♪]

So my, uh, laptop
went missing today.

And then, all of a sudden,
out of nowhere,

poof, it reappears.

You wouldn't know anything
about that, would you?

Probably some ninja snuck in,

took it, put it back
without a trace.

Happens a lot.

Joon...

Fine.

I heard you talking to Mo,

and I had to find out
what your secret was, and I did.

You have a heart condition.

[SIGHS]

I'm fine, okay?

Uh, it's nothing.

I just didn't want
your mom to worry because...

she's got a lot of stuff
on her plate, right, okay?

But I'm okay.

That's what Dad said.

Listen.
I'm taking care of it, okay?

You don't need to worry.

[♪♪♪]

[SIGHS]

Hey, just do me a favor, okay?

You just keep that between
you and me, all right?

And thanks for caring.
You got it, Grandpa.

Okay.

Hey, dinner.

Oh, it smells delicious.

Hey, Gus,
we're getting a shipment

for the juice bar
tomorrow morning.

Do you mind
helping me load it in?

Uh, yeah, sure, I can do that.
Jenny, why don't you help me?

Oh, sure.

That's great. I get to sleep in.

Great. I'll see you
in the gym, first thing.

So anything interesting
happen today?

ALL:
No.

No.
JOON: No.

[♪♪♪]
