ANNOUNCER:
Brought to you by
Dancing on the Tables:

Table Town's number 1
reality dance show.

I love a field trip. Boy, do I.



Me too, Bar, I just hope
this line starts moving.

(wind blows)

(helicopter approaches)

Whoa.

It's the kids
from Tuft Pierre School.

The Tuft Pierre kids
get to skip the line?

It's okay. Waiting in line
builds character.

(samba music playing)

Behold,
the rich miracle of life.

- (dolphin squeaks)
- Look, more rich miracles ahead.

This isn't an aquarium,
we're at a rich-people-arium.

It's okay.

Not getting to commune
with dolphins builds character.

(cheering)



Anyone bring X-ray glasses?

Mmmmm lovely marble.

(grunts) Not being able to see
this once-in-a-lifetime show
builds character.

Kiff, I'm up to my neck
in character.

I got character
coming out of my ears.

Okay. You're right.

Let's go get our splash on.

(rock music playing)

Oh, hello, dry child!

The splash zone isn't
for the likes of you. (laughs)

Begone.

Hi there, Kiff Chatterley,

I'm sure there's enough space

in the Splash Zone
for all of us.

Oh, yes, there is space
for all of us,

who can afford it!

Ooh!

(water flowing)

(seashell horn)

Hey, why are you acting
like you're better than us?

Because everything
about Tuft Pierre

is better than
Table Town School.

ALL: Is not!

Is, too. I mean,
look at your mascot.

(vocalizes)

(all gasp)

You leave Timmy Table
out of this!

Fine. Let's talk Principals.

Hmm? Ours is cutting edge!

Aw, our principal
could cut a hedge!

(sighs) It's my Field Trip tie.

(laughs) Bless him.

Swan is far superior.

And why is that?

Not only is she a principal,

she was even on
the television show

Dancing on the Tables.

Our principal could totally
out-dance your principal.

Is that a challenge?

Yes. It is.

Great! Then sign this contract

saying our principals
shall have a dance off, hmm?

(Timmy Table) Uh, Kiff, I don't
think this is such a good idea.

Quiet, Timmy Table.

(laughs) You are hilarious.

Prepare to be crushed.

(both laugh snobbily)

Oh, photo moment!

Oh, Kiff, Barry, come on in!

Oops! Didn't see ya there:
Reggie, Trevor,

Renée, Candle.
Also, come in.

(grunts)

(clears throat)

With regards to the terrible
field trip yesterday...

(chuckles) Um. I remember
a top tier field trip!

It began with a wild line, and
ended behind a stately pillar.

We're talking about
the same field trip, yeah?

Well, actually PS,
we did not have a good time.

I mean, those Tuft Pierre kids
really chapped our hides!

Anyway, now we need you to beat
their principal in a dance off.

That. Is. Specific.

You'll have a chance to
represent Table Town School!

Well, if you put it that way.
I... accept.

(all cheer)

Now let's see ya dance.

Okay, prepare to be impressed.

I took dance lessons
when I was a kid.

Oh, yes. (chuckles)

- (passes wind)
- Ah! (laughs)

Mm-hmm.

How long since
you've been a kid?

Was that not, good?

(sighs) It wasn't, was it?

I know it wasn't.
Don't know why I'm asking.

How are we gonna beat
Tuft Pierre?

Keep soothing. I have an idea.

(classical music plays)

(all gasp)

Who's gasping at my moves?

Helen, I need you--
uh, your school needs you!

- Pass.
- PS really can't dance

and so I need your moves to
beat Swan in the dance off,

to prove Tuft Pierre
is not better than us.

Uh, Swan is the principal
of Tuft Pierre by the way

Haha! I know who Swan is.

We've been
dance adversaries for years.

I'd have beaten her
for third alternate

on Dancing On The Tables,

if it wasn't for the incident.

So you'll help?
Wait, what incident?

Here. Put those
on Principal Secretary.

I'll do the rest.

I was the belle of the balls!

You should have seen me dance.

Now I'm terrible.

I'm as terrible at dancing

as I am at planning
field trips apparently.

No way! You-- you just
need to warm up.

Barry! Magic dance socks.

These will fix your
lackluster moves...

No, wait let's not tell him.

He needs a confidence boost.

(sad music playing)

PS. I've been
doing some research.

Turns out,
professional dancers all say

you just gotta warm
up your feet.

Works every time apparently.
Try these!

Okay, here we go.

(grunts)

(upbeat electronic music plays)

Oh! (chuckles)

Oh! Ahh!

Whoo! (laughs)

(music continues to play)

Woo! I still got it!

Perfect.

(wind blowing)

♪ Dance off! Dance off!
Dance Off! ♪

♪ Dance off! Dance off! ♪

(dramatic music playing)

(classical music playing)

Oh, she is good.

Principal Swan! Principal Swan!

Principal Swan!

This is a mistake.
I should not be here.

We're every bit as good
as those Tuft Pierrians, PS.

Now get out there
and prove me right!

Okay, all right.

Table Town school.
Top tier school. Let's go!

(upbeat electronic music
playing)

(music continues to play)

(cheering)

(cheering)

(music continues)

(all gasp) Ooh!

(music ends)

Whoo!

Oh, well.

(all) Table Town School!
Table Town School!

Table Town School!
Table Town School!

(gasps) How dare they!

(indistinct whispering)

(Tuft Pierre Poodle)
Oh, that's diabolical!

Why are you so smug? You lost!

- Did we?
- Yes!

Well, the town's going to hear
that Principal Swan won.

My dad owns
the Table Town Tribune.

We already did the mock-up
for tomorrow's paper!

(snobby laughter)

Oh, that's rich.

(aghast) They
they can't do that!

They just did.

Give it up, Kiff.
They're just better than us.

They're not! We just need to...

We just need to...

To tell our story on
Dancing on the Tables.

What?

It just so happens to be
produced by my daddy.

Everyone will find out
that we won the dance off.

Get daddy on the phone.

Helen! Haha! Hi.

I didn't see you over there
in the garbage can.

I guess you aren't the only
dancer in Table Town, huh?

(laughs maniacally)

Kiff! A word!

Whoa! Uh-- I guess I'm off!

Um, Principal Secretary seems
to think he's the one dancing.

And I'm confused that no one
is showering me with praise.

I just feel so good about
myself again! Wow.

We are telling him, right?
That I'm the dancer?

Yeah, yeah-- Helen--
that's what I'll tell him.

(grunts) I've got
bigger fish to fry.

That's what you'll tell him.

Yes, that's what
you'll tell him.

(upbeat music)

ROY FOX: Get ready
for the television event
of the year!

The students of Table Town
School come to you live,

to tell the true story
of the most amazing

Underground Dance Off
you've never heard of...

Until tonight.

Only on
Dancing on the Tables!

Looks good.

(upbeat music playing)

I just have a few humble words
to say, about how far I've come.

Great. Yeah. Then we see
Principal Swan

do her boring dance that
never won the dance off at all.

Liars!

Imagine thinking print would
have more reach

than reality TV. (laughs)

I got a delivery here
for Kiff Chatterley.

Ooh, this looks nice.

(Tuft Pierre Poodle)
Enjoy these expensive treats!

They should comfort you later
when you inevitably fail!

Love and smooches, Tuft Pierre.

So... who was it from?

(gasps)

(dramatic music)

How does it feel to be the best
dancer in Table Town?

Oh, no...

Helen. No no no.
Wait, wait, wait.

Helen, thanks for coming
to support me.

Uh, could you be a lamb
and fetch me a bottled water?

No bubbles please,
it's a dancer thing.

I don't fetch. I'm the dancer.

- Wait, Helen...
- Where'd you think

the magic socks
came from, Bud?

I'm giving you my moves,
you should be bringing me water!

PS... don't let this cramp
your confidence.

"Magic socks"? Ha! Helen,

(scoffs) The only thing magic
here are my dance moves.

Now don't be jealous.

Everyone knows I made it here
on raw talent.

(screeching)

ROY FOX:
We're ready for run through!

Okay, this dance number
isn't going to rehearse itself.

(growls)

Helen. We don't have time
to convince him now.

Please, do the rehearsal?

You'll get all the praise
when you're done.

- I promise.
- (groans) Fine.

Okay, now's when you
jump onto the stage...

Ahh, then we leap...

(grunts)

Raw. Talent.

Maybe this'll
get through to him.

(grunts)

What?! Ahh!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Huh? Ahh!

Whoa! Okay!

The socks are magic!
The socks are magic!

Whoa! Ahh!

What is this?
If you can't dance,

we'll get someone else. Kenny!

- My moment!
- (fanfare plays)

Kenny, no. Get out of here.

Aww.

Mr. Fox, I'll sort it out.

I'll make sure he's ready... somehow.

HELEN: Without me, you'd never
have done such a good job!

PRINCIPAL SECRETARY:
Well, without me,
you wouldn't even have a job!

Ah, special treats
for my two stars.

(sighs) Look.
I know you two are angry,

but you're forgetting that
there's something we hate

more than each other.
Tuft Pierre!

"In a humiliating display
of mediocre moves,

Table Town School was trounced
by Tuft Pierre..."

Ugh! They're the worst!

We won fair and square!

Exactly! Well, we didn't--

but we deserved to win
fair and square.

We do deserve to win.

Helen did a really nice thing
knitting these socks for you,

wouldn't you say, PS?

They are comfy.

I'm sorry. I should've known
I didn't have

the Joie De Vivre
to dance professionally.

Well, you are a good puppet.

Long legs. More flair
than I expected, I guess.

Now let's show everyone
that Table Town School
is the best school around!

ALL: Yeah!

(sneezes)

Gerard, turn on
the gold TV please.

(spooky music playing)

(grunts)

Everyone, I have something huge
and terrible to confess.

We didn't beat Tuft Pierre
fair and square.

- Want me to cut to commercial?
- No no, keep rolling.

This is good stuff.

We used magic socks, okay?

- We cheated.

(group continues
singing in background)

I mean, who cares
if this guy can't dance?

He's not a dancer!
He's a principal!

A principal who organizes
fun little field trips

and makes the most of them.

And does other things
that principals do.

I dunno-- safety vest stuff?
Pencils?

I'd rather go to a school
filled with real people

where the beautiful drama
teacher helps a principal

who in no way can dance...
like, whatsoever, at all!

So sing with me!
