Minor Adjustments (1995–1996): Season 1, Episode 16 - Trevorgate - full transcript
Alright, Julie, the first thing we need is a slogan.
Something powerful. Something that makes them say, wow!
I have got it.
"Trevor Aimes for class president."
Wow, that stinks.
Give me something that rhymes.
Well, it's hard to rhyme with Trevor.
What kind of name is Trevor anyway?
I don't know.
I guess my parents are really into
masterpiece theater.
Hey, Trevor. Hey, Julie.
Hey, dad, I'm running for class president.
Are you serious? That's great, Trevor.
- Politics must be in our blood. - What do you mean?
I never told you about the time I ran for class president?
Yeah, you did. Man, the stuff happened, it was really funny.
- We gotta go. - Sit down.
I was in high school and it was a really close race
between me and this guy, Benny.
But the morning of the big presidential debate
I got a concussion playing football.
Dad, you never played football.
Football, Foosball. What's the difference?
So anyway, I get to the debate and Benny's like
"I plan on having a bake sale
to raise money for the class gift."
Now, come on, I got much better ideas
but I'm all woozy, so I'm like
"Ah, I love big sales.
Are you gonna have zucchini bread?"
And he just keeps going.
"My plan is superior to Ron's."
And I'm agreeing with him.
"You tell 'em, Benny.
"I love you, man.
I'm gonna vote for you."
And thus, ended my political career.
- What are you looking for? - The point to that story.
[theme music]
[scatting]
Hey, Darby, is my dad busy?
You got me.
I mean, he's with a patient, but I don't know if he's busy.
They could be resting or playing cards or shampooing the rugs.
I really have no idea what goes on in there.
I think we made some progress today.
We'll talk about it more next week.
- 'Bye, Dr. Aimes.' - Bye.
Hey guys, what are you doing here?
The more important question is
what was Andy Brown is doing here?
We better talk about this in my office.
- So, what's the story? - There's no story.
- And why are you so curious? - Because he's my opponent.
So, what's wrong with him? Is he some kind of sickopath?
That's a psychopath.
Alright. It's worse than I thought.
He's not a psychopath, and besides
anything about my patients is private. You know that.
But, dad, if I knew what was wrong with him
it could really give me the advantage I need.
Think about it.
"A vote for Trevor is a vote for sanity."
Trevor, that's not funny. My patients aren't insane.
They're just kids with problems.
Just like you, Trevor.
Hey, I'm not the one who sleeps
with the Carl Weathers action figure.
You said you wouldn't tell.
Hey. Come on, kids.
There's nothing wrong with seeing a psychologist.
Sometimes people just have to
work their problems out with a professional.
It's not anything to make fun of.
But, dad, I need every advantage I can get.
At my old school, I was the man, but here I'm just a new kid.
If I can't get people to know me this way
I might have to do something stupid like
shave a swear word into my head.
Trevor, stay away from your mother's epilate.
I just really wanna win.
And Andy is gonna be hard to beat.
He's been president three years running. I'm talking popular.
This guy was president of his daycare center.
Hey, I know you want to win. And you got my vote.
But you don't deserve to win unless you play by the rules.
But Andy doesn't.
Last year he found out his opponent
William Gene can still wet the bed
and he left a big box of diapers on his desk.
Poor wet Willy.
Trevor, listen to me.
You're gonna run an honest campaign, like I did.
Hey, maybe you can use my own slogan.
"Ron Aimes to please."
- Hi, Ron. - 'Hey.'
Oh, my god, Dr. Bailey, you're in here.
Thank you for the update, Darby.
For a minute there I thought I was in Paris in the spring time.
Oh, no, I-I mean your name is in my book.
"I Came, I Saw, I Rocked" by Randy Spencer.
The lead singer of the Leadfoot.
It says here that he had a totally wild girlfriend named
Francine Bailey.
Well, that's absurd.
The woman in that book is not me.
Says she's from Cherio. Isn't that where you're from?
But that doesn't mean anything.
I mean there were a lot of Francine Baileys in Cherio.
As a matter of fact we had an all Francine Bailey glee club.
[laughs]
Her beautiful blue eyes, future pediatrician.
Okay, okay. I had a brief fling with him. It was no big deal.
- Give me that. - No big deal?
There are about a dozen listings
under you name in the index.
The only things of more entries on this page are
bail, booze, and the bedifor tonic.
I can't believe you dated a rockstar.
This makes you like the most famous person I know.
Well, except for my Great Uncle Martin.
He once ate 200 sardines in under 20 minutes.
Telling the gang about Uncle Martin, huh, Darbs?
That man is some kind of a Sardine eating fool.
Good love him.
- Uncle Bruce. - Yeah.
You're not going to believe this.
Francine used to go out with Randy Spencer.
- You? - Mm.
You-you went out with Randy Spencer?
I-I can't even conceive of that
it's like some sort of cosmic rug
has been pulled out from under me.
Come on, Bruce. Is it that hard to believe?
I mean we were all young once. We all did crazy things.
No, no, no, no, no, no. We did not do crazy things.
We set up in our bedroom French kissing
our Pharaoh Fawcett poster.
Sometimes.
- Hey, mom. - Hey, Trevor.
What's all this?
Well, I got you the supplies you asked for.
Here's poster boards, markers, rubber cement.
Oh, where's the rubber cement?
I'm sure I bought some.
Well, anyway I also figured you could use some crate paper
and glitter, you know, so you could decorate the posters
with fireworks, the rainbows--
I think you better leave the design up to us.
Oh, so, I guess you don't want these
puppy unicorn stickers either, huh?
Okay. Well, if you need anything else just let me know.
What's up with my mom?
She must think I'm running for sugar prom fairy or something.
Now, where were we?
Trying to come up with slogans.
How about "Pull the lever for Trevor?"
I like, "A vote for Trevor is a vote for sanity."
We can't use that one? You heard what my dad said.
Seeing a psychologist doesn't mean you are insane.
Fine, we'll go with yours.
Now, let's talk about my platform.
No more dissecting frogs in science class.
From now on human cadavers.
Darby. Is there something wrong with the phones?
One of my patients said
she couldn't get through all morning.
Oh, well, that's because I've been calling WBJD
to try and win Leadfoot tickets.
They're going on a reunion tour to promote the book.
You're kidding. I gotta go.
Maybe my station is giving away tickets too.
Yeah, right. You listen to that oldie station.
"GBD FM, Temptation is coming at you.
Stay away from that lady. She is my girl."
Hello.
Oh, so, did you hear about the Leadfoot concert?
Yeah. Randy called me last night.
He was worried that the book might have embarrassed me.
Hearing his voice really brought me back.
I felt like I was 18 again.
But then my 16 year old daughter walked in
and, well, I did the math.
So, are you gonna see him?
Well, he did send me a couple of tickets
and backstage passes to the concert
but I feel like it'll bring back too many memories.
Why don't the two of you..
...take the tickets?
Wait a minute. T-this isn't right.
I mean we can't go without you.
Who will introduce us to the band?
Yeah, yeah, and besides I wanna see the Francine from the book.
And I can't go with just him.
Last time Uncle Bruce took me to a concert
he made us leave after the first song
to beat the traffic out of the parking lot.
Francine, I, I can't believe I'm saying this
but I really wanted to hang out with you.
Wow, Bruce, you haven't said that since I took in
that Swedish exchange student.
Francine, it would really mean a lot please.
- Please, please. - I'll think about it.
Hey, guys, I won!
You're looking at the new president of the fourth grade.
- Heee! - Heee!
[laughing]
Why don't you tell your dad the good news?
- Hey, dad, guess what? - I know.
And I know how you won.
Yeah, you told everyone at school I was crazy.
Trevor, I'm shocked.
You told your whole school that Andy was
some kind of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
No, I didn't.
I can't believe you did this
after we specifically talked about it.
You know? You really hurt Andy.
Would you guys stop being mad at me
for two seconds and listen?
I told you I didn't do anything.
I can prove it. I'll take a lie detector test.
Bring out the Bible.
You could tie me up on Wonder Woman's lasso.
Look, Trevor, you are our son
and if you say you didn't do it then we believe you.
But how else would the rumor get started?
Now, have you checked with your staff?
You mean Julie? She wouldn't do that.
Well, you better be sure because if she did start the rumor
then the election wasn't fair.
Which means you being president isn't fair.
Okay, okay. I'll ask her.
[knock on cabinet door]
(Emma) Can I come out now?
Emma what are you doing in there?
Trevor said I could be at his cabinet.
Can you believe the cool kids
let us sit at the top of the Jungle Gym at recess?
A week ago, they didn't even know my name.
Guess being president really has its advantages.
It sure does.
Here's my list of possible first ladies.
Do you think it'll work between a president like me
and a woman like Naomi Campbell?
Yeah, if she needed a place to rest her drink.
Very funny. Hey, which reminds me.
Andy Brown said something funny to me.
He said I told everyone, he being some kind of
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
[laughing] Please tell me you didn't say that.
I didn't say anything to anybody.
Except Tom Alvoras.
And all I told him was that Andy sees a shrink.
It's not like I started any of that Jekyll and Hyde stuff.
So, Tom was that started it.
- We better go interrogate him. - Yeah.
Why do you have to say anything in the first place?
I had to. Tom said that Andy was cool and that you were a loser.
He said I was a loser?
He's the one who is best friend with the cafeteria lady.
Then Mark told Bill that Andy came from
a whole family of crazy people.
Then Bill told Janet that Andy has a demented brother
he keep an add again.
Hold on. I need to drink water.
Okay, then Janet told Penny
that Andy is his own demented brother.
And at night he sleeps in a bed of raw liver.
Trevor why are you telling me this?
Don't you see? Julie didn't mean to start the rumor.
She made a mistake and things just spun out of control.
No, it's not that simple.
Julie told Tom in order to help you win, right?
I guess so.
Well, what if I robbed the candy store
and gave all the candy to you.
Wouldn't it be wrong for you to eat it?
It depends on what kind of candy.
You know I'm allergic to nuts.
Trevor, I'm tired of this.
Julie should have never told anyone that she saw Andy here
and you've benefited from her mistake.
Dad, it's no different from grown up elections.
It's still mud slinging. Your hands are just smaller.
But, dad, I'm the man again.
I'm back where I belong, on top.
And you're gonna make me give that up.
Trevor.
I just want you think about your role in all this.
So, I can go on being president?
You think you deserve to be president?
- I-- - Don't answer this!
Just-just go think about it.
Oh, Francine, are you sure that you won't come with us tonight?
Because I just got to the part of the book where you filled in
for their tambourine player wearing
nothing but a bikini made out of bagels.
I really wanna party with you.
Whoa, whoa, you have to change your mind.
I have to backstage with the woman
who inspired Leadfoot's greatest album, "Love Blister."
Ron, what are you doing for lunch?
Well, I was going to have a Tuna sandwich..
Great! I'll have half.
...in my office.
They are acting like idiots. This whole thing is so stupid.
Actually, I think it's pretty cool.
It would be cool if I was 18 but I'm not.
Ron, last night I saw
one of those commercials for adjustable beds
and it seemed like a sensible purchase.
You know, Rachel and I have one of those.
It really does improve your circulation.
Look, I'm afraid that if I go
I'll find out I don't have it anymore.
Well, that could be good or bad depending on what it is.
You know, it's youth.
No worries, no inhibitions.
It's, it's running naked through a meadow.
Running naked through a hotel lobby.
Running naked through a museum.
Basically it's just running naked.
How am I ever gonna feel that freedom again?
Run naked.
- Ron. - Francine.
Just because you're getting old
doesn't mean you have to be lame.
Look at it this way.
Freedom is just letting yourself be free.
Oh! Don't quote Leadfoot to me right now.
I'm sorry, but isn't that all you're worried about?
No.
My bigger worry is that if I do still have it
is all this gonna just seem boring to me when I come back.
Well, if it does you can just give it up
but I don't think you're going to.
It's just a concert. Go on and enjoy yourself.
Okay. Okay.
I'm going to go and call Randy
see about getting another ticket.
Good. You won't regret it.
Oh, by the way, can I ask you something?
Sure.
I just got to the part where you were the midwife
for the band's pet goat.
- Was that really messy? - Oh!
Not you too.
The first meeting of student council will now come to order.
I'm still waiting for my gavel to come back from the engravers.
Now I've appointed Julie as my recording secretary.
Any objections?
I have one. That's my hammer.
Objection overruled.
Oh, that's okay.
I think I'll go give your x-men
another swimming lesson in the toilet.
Where was I? Oh, yeah.
The first item on my agenda is shortening the school day.
11 o'clock stroll in. 11:15, recess. 11:30, go home.
(all) Yeah!
You're going to be a great president, Trevor.
- Thanks, man. - Yeah.
I'm shocked that you got elected instead of you know..
[blubbering]
I don't know, if Andy had won we would have had two presidents
for the price of one.
Yeah, regular Andy and a Freakazoid.
[laughing]
Hold up, guys. Andy is not really crazy.
What are you talking about?
I heard someone saw him hanging up his straitjacket
in his locker the other day.
Yeah, he's definitely a few croutons short
of a Caesar salad.
No. None of that stuff is true.
- It's all just a rumor. - How do you know?
Because I started it.
That's not true. I'm the one that started it.
It doesn't matter which one of us did.
What matters is that it's not true.
And even if Andy did have some problems
it wouldn't be right to make fun of it.
I can't believe he's not crazy.
Well, now that it's all cleared up, we can move forward.
No. Wait a minute.
Would you guys still have voted for me
if you didn't think Andy was crazy?
That's what I thought.
I guess my first official act as president would be
to stop being president.
I resign.
Alright. Anarchy.
Actually, according to the bylaws
the vice-president becomes president.
That's me.
Everyone to my house for the inaugural ball.
I'm sorry, Trevor.
I guess I really screwed things up for you.
It's okay, Julie. We'll get 'em next year.
Thanks. See you tomorrow, Trev.
(Trevor) 'Okay. See you, Jule.'
Is it over already? That was quick.
Yeah, just like my presidency.
- What do you mean? - I resigned.
It wasn't right for me to be president.
I knew you would figure that out on your own.
- You acted like a real leader. - Thanks, dad.
Now I've got to go upstairs, write my memoirs
"Trevor Aimes One Day of Greatness."
- Hey! - Hey, how was the concert?
Oh, it was great.
So, what was it like backstage?
Did the band trash anything?
Did-did anybody bite the head off anything?
No, it was just five old guys getting seaweed wraps
and gabbing about sweat proof eyeliner.
Nobody did anything crazy like throw a TV out the window?
Well, they were about to
but the guys wanted to watch "Murder She Wrote."
Wait, you must have seen something good.
Yeah. Francine. She was wild.
One of the band's cage dancers got sick before the show
and they needed a replacement, so...
- She didn't? - She did. It was incredible!
Fire is like cold, compared to her hotness.
I'm telling you Ron after last night
Francine will never be the same.
Oh.
Hey, wild thang!
- Good morning, Ron. Darby. - 'Good morning.'
You wanna go to a crazy party by the river tonight?
No, thank you.
There gonna be college guys.
I'm not interested.
Francine, what are you doing?
Looking for Billy Witticker's file.
Oh, this is so lame.
You're acting like the regular old Francine.
I'm the regular, um, Francine.
But after last night and seeing Randy
what could possibly make you come back to this?
Billy Witticker's measles at 9 o'clock.
Tommy Stinson's spastic colon at 10:00.
This is who I am.
What is that?
It's Kevin Skipaly's adenoids.
Look, I have a job to do and I love doing it.
But that doesn't mean I can't cut lose once in a while.
Being an adult doesn't have to mean you're lame.
Okay, Trevor, we're ready for you.
And action.
Principal Dansworth, faculty and fellow students
I've come to you today with a heavy heart...
Cut!
- What? - There's no emotion in this.
I don't believe you. We need tears.
- Duncan, get the onion. - No, I don't need it.
- Take it again from the top. - Okay. Settle.
Action!
Principal Dansworth
faculty and fellow students.
I've come to you today with a heavy heart.
As you've probably heard by now, I resign as your president.
And thank you for not taking your anger to the streets.
But I'm here to apologize to someone.
So, let's give it up one time for Andy Brown.
[applauding]
Andy I'm sorry about whole rumor.
It's alright. I forgive you.
Now this concludes our program.
Now we turn things over to your new president
who has a few words he'd like to share with all of us.
♪ O say can you see ♪
♪ By the dawn's early light ♪♪
Your attention please.
You think Francine here is the only one with a colorful past?
Well, think again.
"Lancaster Post. August 6, 1969?"
Can you turn to page 7.
"Terror struck Lancaster yesterday
"when nine-year-old boy scout, Brucie Hampton
was separated from his troop on a nature hike."
- This is your colorful past? - I was lost in the wild.
The wild?
Bruce it says here
that you were stuck in some brambles on the side
of the Pennsylvania turnpike.
And then after you freed yourself
you spent half an hour in a gas station.
It was harrowing.
You know how filthy the bathrooms are
in those places?
Well, I'm sorry, it still doesn't compare
with Francine's past.
Not that you'll have to be that way again.
Well, thank you, Darby.
I'm glad you could see me for who I am now
instead of clinging to some fantasy of me
as a perpetual adolescent.
- Wanna get some lunch? - Oh, sure.
- I'll catch up with you guys. - Alright.
Alright.
Hello, MTV?
Hi, I would like to someone about the grind.
Yeah, I would like to appear.
Well, as a dancer. I'd like to, uh, grind.
[scatting]
[theme music]
Something powerful. Something that makes them say, wow!
I have got it.
"Trevor Aimes for class president."
Wow, that stinks.
Give me something that rhymes.

Francine, I, I can't believe I'm saying this
but I really wanted to hang out with you.
Wow, Bruce, you haven't said that since I took in
that Swedish exchange student.
Francine, it would really mean a lot please.
- Please, please. - I'll think about it.
Hey, guys, I won!
You're looking at the new president of the fourth grade.
- Heee! - Heee!
[laughing]
Why don't you tell your dad the good news?
- Hey, dad, guess what? - I know.
And I know how you won.
Yeah, you told everyone at school I was crazy.
Trevor, I'm shocked.
You told your whole school that Andy was
some kind of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
No, I didn't.
I can't believe you did this
after we specifically talked about it.
You know? You really hurt Andy.
Would you guys stop being mad at me
for two seconds and listen?
I told you I didn't do anything.
I can prove it. I'll take a lie detector test.
Bring out the Bible.
You could tie me up on Wonder Woman's lasso.
Look, Trevor, you are our son
and if you say you didn't do it then we believe you.
But how else would the rumor get started?
Now, have you checked with your staff?
You mean Julie? She wouldn't do that.
Well, you better be sure because if she did start the rumor
then the election wasn't fair.
Which means you being president isn't fair.
Okay, okay. I'll ask her.
[knock on cabinet door]
(Emma) Can I come out now?
Emma what are you doing in there?
Trevor said I could be at his cabinet.
Can you believe the cool kids
let us sit at the top of the Jungle Gym at recess?
A week ago, they didn't even know my name.
Guess being president really has its advantages.
It sure does.
Here's my list of possible first ladies.
Do you think it'll work between a president like me
and a woman like Naomi Campbell?
Yeah, if she needed a place to rest her drink.
Very funny. Hey, which reminds me.
Andy Brown said something funny to me.
He said I told everyone, he being some kind of
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
[laughing] Please tell me you didn't say that.
I didn't say anything to anybody.
Except Tom Alvoras.
And all I told him was that Andy sees a shrink.
It's not like I started any of that Jekyll and Hyde stuff.
So, Tom was that started it.
- We better go interrogate him. - Yeah.
Why do you have to say anything in the first place?
I had to. Tom said that Andy was cool and that you were a loser.
He said I was a loser?
He's the one who is best friend with the cafeteria lady.
Then Mark told Bill that Andy came from
a whole family of crazy people.
Then Bill told Janet that Andy has a demented brother
he keep an add again.
Hold on. I need to drink water.
Okay, then Janet told Penny
that Andy is his own demented brother.
And at night he sleeps in a bed of raw liver.
Trevor why are you telling me this?
Don't you see? Julie didn't mean to start the rumor.
She made a mistake and things just spun out of control.
No, it's not that simple.
Julie told Tom in order to help you win, right?
I guess so.
Well, what if I robbed the candy store
and gave all the candy to you.
Wouldn't it be wrong for you to eat it?
It depends on what kind of candy.
You know I'm allergic to nuts.
Trevor, I'm tired of this.
Julie should have never told anyone that she saw Andy here
and you've benefited from her mistake.
Dad, it's no different from grown up elections.
It's still mud slinging. Your hands are just smaller.
But, dad, I'm the man again.
I'm back where I belong, on top.
And you're gonna make me give that up.
Trevor.
I just want you think about your role in all this.
So, I can go on being president?
You think you deserve to be president?
- I-- - Don't answer this!
Just-just go think about it.
Oh, Francine, are you sure that you won't come with us tonight?
Because I just got to the part of the book where you filled in
for their tambourine player wearing
nothing but a bikini made out of bagels.
I really wanna party with you.
Whoa, whoa, you have to change your mind.
I have to backstage with the woman
who inspired Leadfoot's greatest album, "Love Blister."
Ron, what are you doing for lunch?
Well, I was going to have a Tuna sandwich..
Great! I'll have half.
...in my office.
They are acting like idiots. This whole thing is so stupid.
Actually, I think it's pretty cool.
It would be cool if I was 18 but I'm not.
Ron, last night I saw
one of those commercials for adjustable beds
and it seemed like a sensible purchase.
You know, Rachel and I have one of those.
It really does improve your circulation.
Look, I'm afraid that if I go
I'll find out I don't have it anymore.
Well, that could be good or bad depending on what it is.
You know, it's youth.
No worries, no inhibitions.
It's, it's running naked through a meadow.
Running naked through a hotel lobby.
Running naked through a museum.
Basically it's just running naked.
How am I ever gonna feel that freedom again?
Run naked.
- Ron. - Francine.
Just because you're getting old
doesn't mean you have to be lame.
Look at it this way.
Freedom is just letting yourself be free.
Oh! Don't quote Leadfoot to me right now.
I'm sorry, but isn't that all you're worried about?
No.
My bigger worry is that if I do still have it
is all this gonna just seem boring to me when I come back.
Well, if it does you can just give it up
but I don't think you're going to.
It's just a concert. Go on and enjoy yourself.
Okay. Okay.
I'm going to go and call Randy
see about getting another ticket.
Good. You won't regret it.
Oh, by the way, can I ask you something?
Sure.
I just got to the part where you were the midwife
for the band's pet goat.
- Was that really messy? - Oh!
Not you too.
The first meeting of student council will now come to order.
I'm still waiting for my gavel to come back from the engravers.
Now I've appointed Julie as my recording secretary.
Any objections?
I have one. That's my hammer.
Objection overruled.
Oh, that's okay.
I think I'll go give your x-men
another swimming lesson in the toilet.
Where was I? Oh, yeah.
The first item on my agenda is shortening the school day.
11 o'clock stroll in. 11:15, recess. 11:30, go home.
(all) Yeah!
You're going to be a great president, Trevor.
- Thanks, man. - Yeah.
I'm shocked that you got elected instead of you know..
[blubbering]
I don't know, if Andy had won we would have had two presidents
for the price of one.
Yeah, regular Andy and a Freakazoid.
[laughing]
Hold up, guys. Andy is not really crazy.
What are you talking about?
I heard someone saw him hanging up his straitjacket
in his locker the other day.
Yeah, he's definitely a few croutons short
of a Caesar salad.
No. None of that stuff is true.
- It's all just a rumor. - How do you know?
Because I started it.
That's not true. I'm the one that started it.
It doesn't matter which one of us did.
What matters is that it's not true.
And even if Andy did have some problems
it wouldn't be right to make fun of it.
I can't believe he's not crazy.
Well, now that it's all cleared up, we can move forward.
No. Wait a minute.
Would you guys still have voted for me
if you didn't think Andy was crazy?
That's what I thought.
I guess my first official act as president would be
to stop being president.
I resign.
Alright. Anarchy.
Actually, according to the bylaws
the vice-president becomes president.
That's me.
Everyone to my house for the inaugural ball.
I'm sorry, Trevor.
I guess I really screwed things up for you.
It's okay, Julie. We'll get 'em next year.
Thanks. See you tomorrow, Trev.
(Trevor) 'Okay. See you, Jule.'
Is it over already? That was quick.
Yeah, just like my presidency.
- What do you mean? - I resigned.
It wasn't right for me to be president.
I knew you would figure that out on your own.
- You acted like a real leader. - Thanks, dad.
Now I've got to go upstairs, write my memoirs
"Trevor Aimes One Day of Greatness."
- Hey! - Hey, how was the concert?
Oh, it was great.
So, what was it like backstage?
Did the band trash anything?
Did-did anybody bite the head off anything?
No, it was just five old guys getting seaweed wraps
and gabbing about sweat proof eyeliner.
Nobody did anything crazy like throw a TV out the window?
Well, they were about to
but the guys wanted to watch "Murder She Wrote."
Wait, you must have seen something good.
Yeah. Francine. She was wild.
One of the band's cage dancers got sick before the show
and they needed a replacement, so...
- She didn't? - She did. It was incredible!
Fire is like cold, compared to her hotness.
I'm telling you Ron after last night
Francine will never be the same.
Oh.
Hey, wild thang!
- Good morning, Ron. Darby. - 'Good morning.'
You wanna go to a crazy party by the river tonight?
No, thank you.
There gonna be college guys.
I'm not interested.
Francine, what are you doing?
Looking for Billy Witticker's file.
Oh, this is so lame.
You're acting like the regular old Francine.
I'm the regular, um, Francine.
But after last night and seeing Randy
what could possibly make you come back to this?
Billy Witticker's measles at 9 o'clock.
Tommy Stinson's spastic colon at 10:00.
This is who I am.
What is that?
It's Kevin Skipaly's adenoids.
Look, I have a job to do and I love doing it.
But that doesn't mean I can't cut lose once in a while.
Being an adult doesn't have to mean you're lame.
Okay, Trevor, we're ready for you.
And action.
Principal Dansworth, faculty and fellow students
I've come to you today with a heavy heart...
Cut!
- What? - There's no emotion in this.
I don't believe you. We need tears.
- Duncan, get the onion. - No, I don't need it.
- Take it again from the top. - Okay. Settle.
Action!
Principal Dansworth
faculty and fellow students.
I've come to you today with a heavy heart.
As you've probably heard by now, I resign as your president.
And thank you for not taking your anger to the streets.
But I'm here to apologize to someone.
So, let's give it up one time for Andy Brown.
[applauding]
Andy I'm sorry about whole rumor.
It's alright. I forgive you.
Now this concludes our program.
Now we turn things over to your new president
who has a few words he'd like to share with all of us.
♪ O say can you see ♪
♪ By the dawn's early light ♪♪
Your attention please.
You think Francine here is the only one with a colorful past?
Well, think again.
"Lancaster Post. August 6, 1969?"
Can you turn to page 7.
"Terror struck Lancaster yesterday
"when nine-year-old boy scout, Brucie Hampton
was separated from his troop on a nature hike."
- This is your colorful past? - I was lost in the wild.
The wild?
Bruce it says here
that you were stuck in some brambles on the side
of the Pennsylvania turnpike.
And then after you freed yourself
you spent half an hour in a gas station.
It was harrowing.
You know how filthy the bathrooms are
in those places?
Well, I'm sorry, it still doesn't compare
with Francine's past.
Not that you'll have to be that way again.
Well, thank you, Darby.
I'm glad you could see me for who I am now
instead of clinging to some fantasy of me
as a perpetual adolescent.
- Wanna get some lunch? - Oh, sure.
- I'll catch up with you guys. - Alright.
Alright.
Hello, MTV?
Hi, I would like to someone about the grind.
Yeah, I would like to appear.
Well, as a dancer. I'd like to, uh, grind.
[scatting]
