(Cheering)



Come on, boys, let’s do

lunch.

Hi, I’m Victor, president of

Student Council, captain of the

swim team, perfect grade point

average.

You can check out my dating

schedule on this calendar.

And yes, this is me in all my

sun-tanned glory.

I’ll sign autographs after the

meeting.

Thank you.

Speaking of which, welcome to

the first meeting of Silent

Springs Student Council.

We’ve got an exciting year ahead

of us.

So let me begin by assigning

each of you to your committees.

Please let me get the dance

committee.

Please let me get the dance

committee.

ShineFest, our most famous

annual fundraiser goes to Big

John.

Hey, Big John.

Way to go, buddy.

Dance committee and video

yearbook, Willy Zilla.

Yes!

What’s a video yearbook?

You’re the lucky one, Zilla.

It’s your job to record the

school year on tape.

You get front row seats to all

the school games, events, pep

rallies, whatever.

You shoot them, edit them, and

everyone gets a copy at the end

of the year.

Sounds great, I guess.

Won’t that be a lot with the

dance committee too?

Talk to Miss Zachwiss about

the dance committee.

I don’t think you’ll have a

problem fitting both of them in.

(Laughs)

(Laughing)

Oh Willy, welcome to the

dance committee!

Thanks.

TOGETHER: You’re going to

love it.

I’ve been doing this for

fifteen years and every blissful

year has been exactly the same.

TOGETHER: Exactly the same.

That’s great, but I’ve got

some new ideas for this year’s

dance.

No, no, no.

We don’t need any new ideas.

The book!

(Coughing)

You see, Willy Zilla.



Perfection.

No reason to change a thing.

Wow.

As fun as this looks, maybe it’s

time we mixed things up a bit.

I don’t think so.

Why not?

It’ll be fun.

I’m thinking of a theme night.

We could all dress up as famous

dead people.

Won’t that be smelly?

Mm-hmm, stinky.

Well, how about a futuristic

theme?

We decorate the gym with

spaceships and aliens and

camouflage the stage with

satellites--

ZACHWISS: No.

Too much tinfoil.

Willy, everyone likes it this

way.

How about this?

Absolutely not.

How about this?

No.

This?

Refused.

Okay okay.

You’re going to love this.

This?

No.

This?

Forget it!

Come on!

This is our chance for the dance

to be better than anything

Riverview High has ever had.

ZACHWISS: Riverview High!

A bunch of hoodlums prancing

around the dance floor like

hopped up peacocks.

Willy Zilla, I am the head of

this committee and I am telling

you the dance will be the same

as it has been for fifteen

years!

Fifteen years.

Everything you need is in

that closet.

End of discussion.

TOGETHER: End of discussion.

(Door slams)

(Sigh)

(Laughter)

I see you made it onto the

dance committee, dog.

Yeah.

What’s up with Miss Zachwiss?

It’s been this way forever.

A few years ago my brother was

on the committee.

WILLY: Let me guess: it was

exactly the same.



A month’s detention for bringing

amplifiers to a dance?!

(Squeaking)

Well this is just wrong.

Meet me at my house after

school.

We’ll figure out a way to change

Miss Zachwiss’ mind.



Hi kids, how was school?

Full of self-actualization, I

hope?

Check this out!

I’m the videographer for the

school’s video yearbook!

Oh really??

Loser.

You’ll be spending your year

shooting the junior investor’s

club.

Too bad you’re not a Senior,

like me.

We all got these cute little

shoe shine kits today.

Um, Serenity, that’s for

ShineFest.

Call it what you want, I

still think it’s cute.

No, ShineFest is a

fundraiser: all the Seniors go

around town shining other

people’s shoes and the money

goes to the local charities.

You’re kidding me!

I am so not shining shoes.

As I was saying, I also got

assigned to the dance committee.

How exciting!

I volunteer to chaperone.

What?

I just knew your dance card

would be full so I just had to

get mine in early.

Oh, honey, you’ve got something

on your face.

Let Mommy get it.

All right, school dance!

I’ll bring down the house!



Q: Snap out of it, bro.

Could this get any worse?

So lame.

Willy man, we need some real

music.

You, music, some bass.

Check it, the time has come for

Makin Music to select the school

that wins the supreme honour of

hosting this year’s Def Dance

"Partay," featuring the VJ

stylings of yours "trulay."

The contest rules are simple:

we want to see your school’s

spirit!

So send us a sample and if your

school shows the most spirit,

we’ll send you an in-your-face

night of scratching and spinning

that will make you the envy of

every other school in town!

You know it, you love it, and

we’re giving it away.

(Cheering)

That’s it!

If we can win this contest, we

can get our school the best

dance ever!

Yeah, Miss Zachwiss won’t be

able to turn it down because

it’s a prize and everyone will

know about it.

You go, bro!

(Laughing)

Yo, snap my fly side.

He would, but I think they

want to know what your face

looks like too.

Okay, whatever happens, Miss

Zachwiss can’t find out I’m

going to enter the contest, or

I’ll be spending the rest of

high school in detention.

Are you with me?

Dance party, here we come.

(Cheering)

CHEERLEADERS: Our team is

what?

Dynamite.

Our team is tick-tick-tick-tick

tick-tick, boom!

(Buzzer)

(Cheering)

Did you get all of that?

Every victorious minute.

I’ve got a ton of awesome

footage.

Let’s edit this tonight and send

it out tomorrow.

But tomorrow is the first day

of ShineFest.

You have to have it on video.

Okay, just one more day of

shooting, then we’ve got to mail

it in.

The deadline’s in two days.

I don’t care if every Senior

has to do this, I’m not going!

I look like Dad.

You might be surprised how

quickly the makeup thing grows

on you.

I’d feel totally naked without

it.

Let’s get this show on the road!

You little insect.

If you shoot one more minute of

me in this makeup, I’ll jam your

camera into your--



(Rock music blaring)

Hello, Silent Spring!

Whoo!



That’s it.

I’m done here.

This makeup itches and it is so

not my colour.

Willy, get Dad.

We’re leaving.



Okay, that was a slice, but

don’t make me call Animal

Control.

Okay, now we’ve got

everything.

♪ D-dance party

♪ D-dance party

Ixnay Opsday.

Shh, Willy!

What?

You don’t want to enter the

contest now?

What contest, Willy Zilla?

Contest?

No, no, I said, "edit the

concert".

Yeah, yeah, my dad’s last

concert: the video still needs

some work.

He’s kind of losing his touch

and he needs our help.

Will Zilla, I have made it

abundantly clear that we don’t

need any new ideas for my dance.

The dance is perfect just the

way it’s always been.

Understand?

SERENITY: Willy?

We’re leaving.

Now!

Right, I understand.

It’s perfect.

Got to go!

I’ll be watching you.



(Gasp)

(Scream)

(Crying)

You said it wouldn’t hurt to

shine a few shoes!

I look like a freak!

Oh!

Oh, don’t worry: I have just the

thing for that.

I’ll be right back.

(Crying)

This will help take care of that

little rash.

"Little rash"?

My face looks like a casserole.

It’s important you try to

stay calm.

This will make it much better.

It’s got aloe, vitamin E, mint

and the essence of moonbeams.

DAD: Anything?

Just Mom and Serenity.

Wow.

Sorry about your face.

Willy, turn off that camera!

Q: Yo, those tunes your dad

wrote for our video are phat!

Yeah, once we vetoed the

explosions, lightning,

earthquakes and dancing

hamsters, he actually had some

great ideas.

He knows videos.

Anyway, as soon as I get home,

I’ll grab the tapes and just

make the four o’clock cut-off

time.

We are so going to win.

Only good thing about this

rash is I get to spend the whole

day watching Mark Walker.

Okay Groupies, that’s my day.

I’m out and leaving you with the

latest from--

No fair!

Hello?

Anybody home?

Mom?

Dad?

Skunk?

Willy?

(Very loud rock music)

Huh?

Yay!

Willy, turn off--

That little puke!

There is no way anyone is going

to see me looking like that in

the video yearbook.

Delete.

So would you rather lick a

payphone or swallow a bug.

I’m licking that phone.

Bug, all the way.

Q: That’s nasty, bro.

Too many legs: they’d get all

stuck in your throat.

WILLY: You talking from

experience, Q?

This is my stop.

See you tomorrow, guys.



Def Dance party, here we come!

Riverview High, eat my dust!

WILLY: Serenity, your face is

looking... better.

Daddy, how will I get a date

for the dance looking like this?

Well, I guess we could hire

somebody.

(Serenity crying)

I mean, hire somebody to--

--do your colour, since your

skin is clearing up so quickly.

(Clock chiming)

(Dad shuddering)

Delicious dinner, sweetie.

Meditation is the key to the

cure.

Remember, getting upset will

only make it worse.

Didn’t you have a Zen day today?

I tried to, but then I saw

Willy’s video.

But I fixed you Willy: I erased

that stupid tape.

You erased my tape?!

Now no one will ever see me

looking anything less than

flawless.

Your erupting face wasn’t on

the contest tape!

We planned on winning it!

Contest-shmontest!

You can’t fool me.

(Yelling)

So I mailed a blank tape.

No!

Now we’re doomed to have another

one of her lame-o dances.

Nope.

Turns out Skunk programmed the

machine to make a backup copy of

everything.

He learned to do that after my

dad torched his first three

videos.

Skunk The Man!

SERENITY: Mom!

There’s only two pounds of this

cream left.



Okay, this is the place.

Let’s do it.

Could you tell me where the

mailroom is?

(Phone rings)

Check it out.

♪ I’ve got to talk my way now ♪

He ripped his pants on the

first three takes of that jump.

No can do, kid.

No extensions for nobody.

A deadline is a deadline and you

missed it.

Better luck next year.

But you don’t understand: we

did make the deadline.

Sorry, nope.

The winner’s being picked--

The winner’s being picked on the

show in about twenty minutes.

You’re too late.

Miss Zachwiss hasn’t won yet.





(Cheering)

All right, that was awesome!

Totally amazing spirit!

Way to go Riverview High!

Yo, for our final submission,

we got a video from Silent

Springs High.

GIRL VJ: Hey, that’s weird.

Looks like no one from Silent

Springs made it out today.

Hardly a worthy show of spirit.

Am I right, Mark?

Word up on that, Willow.

Sounds like they’ve got some

serious spirit issues.

But let’s check out the video

anyway yo!

Well, what have we got here?

So that’s why there were no

Silent Springs kids here in the

studio.

They’re all up there in the air

conditioning system.

MARK: What’s the deal, yo?

Take a wrong turn in

Albuquerque?

Oh, that contest.

Oh no, I may have ruined my

chances to meet Mark Walker in

person!

(Ringing)

April, look at Willy on Makin

Music.

You’ve got to get down there.

We could win this contest!

(Many voices)

But seriously, dude, is this

part of your school spirit

routine or what?

Not exactly.

We submitted our entry, but last

night we found out that there

were some technical

difficulties, so we needed to

replace the tape.

Oh, so what you’re saying is

that you totally missed the

deadline?

TOGETHER: No!

We started this a while ago.

He’s been shooting for days.

Every school event.

Everyone pitches in.

It’s all on the tape.

And we mixed in some cool

tunes.

And his sister got a rash and

erased it all.

But we didn’t know that so I

mailed it in anyway.

Then we found out Skunk makes

backups.

ALL: So we came down here.

Nice story.

But if all the students got

involved, then why aren’t there

any here today?

We had to enter the contest

in secret.

See, our teacher, Miss

Zachwiss--

MARK: Yo, no, not that Miss

Zachwiss?

Is she still there?

Uh-huh.

(Imitating Zachwiss):

"Everyone likes the dance this

way, yo!"

ZACHWISS: Mark Walker.

I’m glad I failed that little

dirtbag.

What do you say, viewers?

Should we give Silent Springs a

break and allow them to switch

tapes?

(Applause)



(Cheering)



(Cheering)



(Cheering)

(Cheering)

Wow, got to say even I’m

impressed, yo.

Looks like it all comes down

to a tie between Silent Springs

and Riverview High.

How awesome is that?

And according to the rulebook,

whoever gets the loudest ovation

also gets gets the awesome,

awesome, awesome prize!

Cool.

Let’s bring out the

Applause-O-Meter!

Okay, everyone ready?

Give it up for Riverview High!

(Cheering)

(Bell)

Wow, that was total madness!

That took us to a whole new

level of loud, yo!

Totally, amazingly awesome!

Going to be tough to beat that

kind of school spirit!

Okay crew, time to give Silent

Springs a little love.

Let’s hear it!

(Cheering)

Whoo hoo!

Hurray.

(Bell)

And this year’s Def Dance

Party goes to:

Silent Springs, yo!

(Cheering)

How you going to break it to

Miss Zachwiss?

I don’t know.

I don’t care.

We won!





Willy, my sweet brother.

Oh, are you Mark Walker?

Uh-oh, here comes Miss

Zachwiss.

Prepare yourselves: she is not

happy.

Mark Walker, how dare you

make fun of me on TV?

It was just a joke, you know?

For the zombies!

Ouch.

That thing hurts.

Yo, watch the threads!

Hey, ouch!

Stop Miss Z, please!

Ouch, ouch, please stop!
