Best Foot Forward (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript
I feel like I'm in a parade.
A very sad parade.
Let's wave to the crowd.
I am not doing that.
Kyle, dude. Please, stop.
I would, but I have my first
concert tomorrow night,
and I still stink at this, so…
Well, I can't hear my music
over your… whatever that is.
Hear that, Josh?
My first review.
I am so happy you tricked
me into joining band.
I know band is a bit scary, Kyle, but
sometimes you got to go out on a limb.
You know why? Because
that's where the fruit is.
Yeah, sometimes you
got to cover your ears.
You know why?
Wow, Kyle. Sounds better.
Yeah, I know you're joking,
but actually, it does.
Now, I just need to get a thousand
percent better for my concert.
Well, I'll be there to support
you a thousand percent.
Same.
- Wanna join our parade?
- What are we celebrating?
Tuesday.
Hit it, Kyle.
I am out.
- Happy Tuesday, everybody.
- Happy Tuesday.
- Happy Tuesday.
- Happy Tuesday.
- Thank you.
- Happy Tuesday.
And then you do
subtraction last.
Any questions?
That don't have to do with
going to the bathroom.
- Amy?
- Will there be extra credit
on the test tomorrow?
You know the answer to
that question, Amy. Yes.
Any other questions?
Josh?
I'm just confused when to do
the work inside the parentheses.
Girls… something
you want to share?
Actually, there's an acronym
to help you remember.
PEMDAS.
P-E...
I can still hear you.
Sorry, Mr. Polk.
M...
Okay. All right,
close your books.
This pop quiz is brought
to you by Mikayla and Isha.
Everyone, say thank you.
- The test was supposed to be tomorrow.
- It still is.
First question. Two
parentheses 24 minus 11.
There's no questions.
This is a pop quiz.
I got a five out of ten?
What is that, like, a D-minus?
More like an F-plus.
An F?
- Plus.
- You're not helping.
Geez. Sorry.
Pretend I'm not here, okay? I'm
putting on my cloak of invisibility.
This isn't fair. They can't
just surprise us with a quiz.
Am I going to have a hard time
getting into a good college?
Absolutely. Your
entire life is over
because you got one bad
grade on one pop quiz.
Okay, just because you
got a ten out of ten
doesn't mean you
can make fun of me.
I'm not making fun of you.
Sheesh, it's one quiz.
- It's, like, a hundredth of your grade.
- And that 100th is an F.
I'm a straight-A student.
I won the Excellence in Math
Award three years in a row.
Yeah, from your mom.
Going back to the cloak.
Why are you laughing at me?
I'm not laughing at you.
You know what? This
is your fault anyways.
What are you talking about?
They're your teammates.
You're the team captain.
Why didn't you tell your
friends to stop talking?
Dude, you're gonna need this.
This is not my fault.
This is not, not your fault.
Okay, Josh, on a scale of one to ten, is
this like a five out of ten my fault...
No. You get a ten out of ten out
of ten for being a bad friend.
- Seriously?
- Yep.
Well, then you get
a 12 out of ten.
Look at you, you got extra
credit for being a jerk.
I was in my cloak.
What did I miss?
So, did you see Mr. Hub
posted a chapter reading
on top of the vocab list?
- I mean, what's the point of...
- Am I wrong? They're her friends, right?
If they were my friends, I
would've told them to stop talking.
Okay, well, as your friend,
please stop talking.
See? It's that easy.
How long is she
gonna be like this?
- How long are you gonna be like this?
- I'm not being like anything.
Dude, it's just one F. It's
not like you're a failure.
What do you think F stands for?
- Uh-oh.
- Forget it. You don't understand.
I don't?
Okay, well, since you haven't bothered
to ask what I got on the quiz, here.
I got an F too. So
you're in good company.
I don't wanna be
in your company.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- It means I wanna have good grades.
Wow.
You know what, Josh?
Don't bother showing
up to my concert.
Okay, I wouldn't want you
to have to be in my company.
Kyle, come on. Kyle!
Dishwasher, please.
But I can't. The floor's
made of hot lava.
I'll burn my little piggies.
There we go. I turned
the lava into stone.
Oh, no. The stone is covered
- in poisonous moss.
- All right, honey,
can you go play somewhere else,
please? And let Mommy finish cleaning?
- Sure, Mama.
- Thank you.
Okay. I got it.
Got it.
How does my muffler smell?
- Like farts.
- Hey, what you guys doing?
Better.
Move.
Kitty Luisa, please
move, sweetie.
I'm not a kitty today.
I'm an armadillo.
- I didn't know armadillos made that noise.
- They make it when they're hungry.
Stop it. You're such a weirdo.
Matthew! No name-calling.
Luisa, honey, I'm...
Sweetie, can you please...
Please give us a few minutes.
I'm about to beat your brother.
Fine.
Oh, yes! Eat it.
What are you talking
about? I won!
Wait. I'm on the bottom?
Yeah!
No! That's dynamite! Duck!
Are you kidding me? Go!
Get out of here! Leave! Go.
Fine.
You looking for this?
Did you get five out
of ten on this quiz?
Yep, your eldest
son's a failure.
It's one quiz. It's not
the end of the world.
But what happened?
You won the Excellence in Math
Award three years in a row.
Josh, you know how to do all
of this. It's just the trick is
you have to do it in a specific order,
or you're gonna get the wrong answer.
There's a phrase to help you remember.
"People eat macaroni during a storm."
Here. Sit.
It's called "PEMDAS."
The P stands for "Parentheses."
Exponents.
Now, I want you all to
make sure you're packed.
And please go to the
bathroom before we go.
Blue Baby, you know
what happened last time.
Mr. Cubber, did you
lose your hat again?
Don't worry, I'll find it.
Go away. This tree fort
is for weirdos only.
You're a dolphin now?
My people are shape-shifters.
Your people?
Obviously, I don't fit
in with this family.
So, I ran away, and I'm
living in the tree fort now
until my real family from
Venus comes to pick me up.
I think it's them.
False alarm.
You're from Venus.
That's really cool.
But why don't you, you
know, stay inside the house?
Nobody wants me there.
Well, I hope people from
Venus can stay warm,
'cause it gets really
cold out here at night.
And hungry squirrels
will come in
and suck your brains out
while you're sleeping.
But maybe people from Venus
have some kind of power to
make squirrels stay away.
Maybe I'll sleep inside,
just for tonight.
Yeah, smart.
Hey, do me a favor.
Take Dr. Squirrels
back in the house.
I think the others are
uncomfortable with him now.
Yeah.
Thirty-two times four.
One, twenty-eight.
- Yes, great job.
- Yes.
You know what this calls for?
Gummy bear break.
Gummy bear break.
Okay. So, what do we got next?
Don't touch the red...
We just have to make sure that
we have break here every time.
- Okay.
- Okay. Can you please show me at practice?
Yeah.
Is this seat taken?
By microbes, yes.
Mind if I join them?
Sure.
Sorry. I'm reading
about microbes.
Just couldn't resist.
Why aren't you sitting
with your friends?
I realized I need to
spend time with students
who care more about their
grades than volleyball. Or band.
Smart. You can't lose
focus on your grades, Josh.
It's such a shame your mom
made you quit homeschool.
She didn't. I
wanted to come here.
What? You chose to
leave homeschool?
I begged my dad for three years
to quit his job and homeschool me.
This city has enough
cardiologists.
If I were in homeschool,
I'd be in college right now.
College, Josh!
I guess it had some advantages.
Wait. Is your mom taking
new homeschool kids?
I don't think so.
And don't eat that.
Microbes.
Josh.
Hi, Mr. Polk.
I know how distressed you
were after that pop quiz,
so I just wanted to let you know
you did much better on the test.
You got an A-minus.
Congratulations.
- Thanks, Mr. Polk.
- My pleasure.
Now I have to go tell Amy she missed
one of the extra credit points.
Aren't you gonna go talk to Amy?
I'm just working up the courage.
She's right over there.
She looks busy.
Hey, Kyle, can you believe…
Hey. How was the test?
A-minus. What? Boom! Nailed it.
This calls for a
gummy bear reward.
What's up? You got an A-minus.
That is a huge improvement.
You did it, buddy.
We did it.
It's been really nice,
you teaching me again.
Yeah, it's been great having
our old groove back, huh?
What if we had it back more?
- What do you mean?
- Well,
I want to do well in school, but
I obviously learn better from you.
Maybe I should come
back to homeschool.
Wow.
I would love to have you back.
But what about Kyle and
Gabriella? Won't they be bummed?
Well, they're both mad at me.
I don't think they wanna
be friends anymore.
What happened?
I was upset about my quiz,
and I took it out on them.
So, your best friend and your
new friend are both mad at you,
- and now you wanna leave school?
- Well, no, it's not because of them.
It's just, in homeschool,
I can work at my own pace,
get ahead, maybe
start college early.
Josh, you're 12.
Life's just…
Things are changing.
And there's no going back.
You're gonna fight with your friends
for the rest of your life. Trust me.
But if they're really your
friends, you'll get past this.
But… what if they don't
want to be friends anymore?
Then you have to accept it.
Let them go.
Wish them well.
And move on.
And that is definitely something
you cannot learn at homeschool.
Are you sure?
I wish I wasn't.
But, hey…
I'll always be here to
tutor you in school…
and in life.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Get over here, you
cutie. Get over here.
So proud of you.
Hey, Matthew. You
want a hug too?
No, but I know someone who does.
What are you doing here?
We popped in to say hi.
What happened over there?
Drama.
Hey.
We heard you ran away.
And we totally understand why
you feel like you don't fit in.
You do?
- Can you keep a secret?
- Yeah.
- We're from Venus.
- No, you're not.
- Yeah, we are.
- It's true.
- It is.
- When I was seven,
I used to make the ants in
my backyard play with me.
And they did?
No. 'Cause they're from Mars,
and they're our sworn enemy.
The point is, you do
belong in this family.
Because you're a big
old weirdo. Like us.
And weirdos have all the fun.
So what do you think, huh?
Wanna maybe move back inside
with us for a few more years?
At least until the
spaceship comes and…
- …beams you back up to Venus.
- Yeah.
Okay, Mama. But this
is the sound they make.
- Guys, they got me!
- No. No! No, no, no, Daddy!
- Grab my leg!
- No, Daddy, not yet! No!
Hey.
Hey.
Gummy bear?
Sure.
A lot of red.
What? I love red.
I'm a green girl.
- Green?
- What's wrong with green?
Nothing if you
like gross things.
They all taste
basically the same.
Then how come you
don't like red?
Because green is better.
I'm sorry I was such a jerk.
Thanks. And I'm sorry too.
That you were such a jerk.
I'll eat the green
ones for you, bud.
Thanks.
I'm sorry I was such a...
I heard you tell her.
And it's all good.
- It's just how you get when you're upset.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
You seem relaxed. I thought
you'd be nervous to play?
No, I'm good.
See, all that practice paid off.
Oh, no, I'm still terrible.
It's just, so is everybody
else. So I blend right in.
Everyone, take your places.
- Gotta go. Enjoy the show.
- Gummy bears.
One, two, three.
You did good today.
Yeah. You were the
best in the show.
I mean, the drummer was,
like, the best in the show.
That drummer was pretty
good. He was like…
I know. He didn't mess up once.
- Yeah.
- Let's get some more gummy bears.
I call the green ones.
We'll share.
A very sad parade.
Let's wave to the crowd.
I am not doing that.
