My Perfect Landing:

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

Today is a must win.

If we don't win,
we don't go to Hillside.

[GASPS]
No.

Do the math. Jenny would
almost need a perfect score

to win us top three.

Put your bags down.

Canton doesn't quit.

You have more talent
than I ever had,

and to spend your energy
doubting that is a mistake.



You see those two over there?

They think
we've already lost

and they want
to get on the bus.

Go prove them wrong.

Watch me.

GIRL 1:
Yes, Jenny!

GIRL 2:
Stick it!

WOMAN:
Let's go!

[CHEERING]

That's my granddaughter.

Everyone quiet.
The score's coming in.

We did it!
We did it!

Now, we have to do it
again at Hillside.

We? We aren't going to Hillside.



What do you mean?
You're the sub.

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

[SIGHS]
I did what I had to do
to get my team to Hillside.

But you should still feel happy
about today. Enjoy it.

[♪♪♪]

KEISHA:
Are you ready, Jenny?

Are you sure our plan
is gonna work?

Blackmail the blackmailer?
It's genius.

After what she did,
don't you want this to end?

More than anything.

I'm so sick of Olivia's
video hanging over my head.

Even if you were to quit,
like she wants,

she can still send it.

RACHEL:
If you do this,

Olivia will be out of
your life forever.

Oh, she's coming.
Are you ready? Start recording.

[BEEPS]

Good morning, Jenny.

Are you ready to retire
from the Canton Gymnastics team,

or am I showing this video
to your mom?

I've been thinking about it,

and even if I quit the team,

you can still
bully me and send it.

I guess you're going to
have to trust me not to send it.

How come you don't you
want her on the team?

You know she can help it.

To win Hillside, we need
someone who's consistent.

Not level four one day,
level eight the next.

That's why I'm using this video
to keep her off the team.

[BEEPS]

And I've got
some news for you.

What?

[BEEPS]

That's why I'm using this video

to keep her off the team.

I just recorded
this conversation.

With that,
we can easily prove

that you've been
bullying Jenny.

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

Not with you as captain.

But now, you can't use
that video against us.

If you do,
we use this against you.

M.A.D.,
Mutually Assured Destruction.

But-but...

But what, Olivia?

Fine,
if those are your terms.

We did it.
Yeah!

♪ Gotta do my thing ♪

♪ Can you feel
The adrenaline? ♪

♪ Oh, maybe it's
Finally happening ♪

♪ Oh, maybe it's
Really kicking in ♪

♪ Oh, baby
It's finally happening ♪

♪ Now I found
My perfect landing ♪

[♪♪♪]

Hey, check this out.
Who am I?

[BOTH LAUGHING]
RACHEL: Olivia!

It's true. I've never seen
that look on Olivia's face.

Except when Dace
asked her out to the dance.

Oh, I remember,
she made Dace cry.

I feel bad about what we did.

Don't be. You gotta
fight fire with fire.

Okay, okay. Enough of
this Oliva talk.

She's wrecking our first
Girls For Greatness sleepover.

True.

Look, it's like I'm in a cocoon.

When I emerge in the morning,
I'll be a butterfly!

Butterfly!

Butterfly!
Fly, fly, fly, butterfly!

[VOCALIZING]

Hi, Mrs. Cortez.

Back in the cocoon!

I see we have
the giggles in here.

Just checking in, hon.
Don't forget,

you're teaching the Tumbling
Tots in the morning.

Okay, Mom.

Okay. Open or closed?

Closed.

[GIRLS GIGGLING]

Are you sure
you're up for this, Joon?

You told me if I cleaned
my room for a month,

I could do
whatever I want,

and staying up late
is what I want.

Okay, a deal's a deal.

I'm going to
break the world record

of how long an
8-year-old can stay up,

and beat Grandpa
at his favorite game!

Okay, but just remember,

we "don't know how to play."

Team Gus-Mo is here.
Fresh deck of cards.

You said there'd be
good competition here, Gus.

All I see is
a small, sleepy boy.

Oh, don't worry, Mo.

I need to give him
a bit of chocolate

and he's good for three hours.

Four if you tell me
the chocolate is haunted.

You guys ready for the most
difficult game of chance?

The only true
Canadian card game.

Euchre.
It's basically poker,

but nothing like it.

[CHUCKLES]
I have seen grown men cry

at the complicated glory
of this game.

Wasn't that man, you?

Yes. It's because I care, Gus.

That'd explain
why you never cry at work.

Okay, so, how does it go again?

Yeah.
How do you play, Grandpa?

Don't you worry.
We're gonna teach you the rules.

First rule,
don't be a sore loser.

That's a good one.

We should all
remember that.

[WHISPERING]
You asleep?

[WHISPERING]
Yes.

No, you're not.
You just answered me.

Maybe I sleep talk.
You don't know.

Jenny?

You asleep?

No.

Is it because Keisha's
talking so much?

Hey!

I can't stop thinking about
how unfair it is.

The only reason Olivia is going
to Hillside is because of me.

It's because she's
threatened by how good you are.

What you need is
a good distraction.

It's time to go on...
an adventure.

Let's sneak out.

That's a classic
Keisha-Rachel sleepover.

Uh, my mom
wouldn't like that.

That's exactly
why we're going do it.

KEISHA:
And your mom's cool.

Isn't your baby brother
just staying up all night?

Okay, I'm in.

Yeah, let's get this
party started.

Operation Forget Olivia
starts now.

Go!

Hurry! They don't see us.

Are we pretending not to see
the girls going out?

If they're going
down to the gym, yes.

We are.

Thanks, Mrs. Cortez.

I'm gonna take that club.

[GIGGLING, WHOOPING]

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah, we did it ♪

All right!

GUS:
Time to draw out the trumps.

The big ace.

I'm gonna put down
this jack, okay?

That's two points, right?
'Cause you called trump.

GUS:
Oh, we lost again.

Could I have a glass
of milk?

Okay. Gus?

I wouldn't say no
to some cheese.

MO:
Good call, Gus.

It's not a party
without Havarti.

Joon, would you help me
in the kitchen?

Sure, Mom.

Good call on creating
a bit of a pause there

'cause we needed the break.

I had to break
their rhythm somehow.

They so think
they're gonna beat us.

All we have to do
is keep pretending

we don't know how to play?
Yeah.

Our beginners luck
is going to drive them crazy.

We're better than this.

Let's do it.

Okay.
Cards shuffled.

Get ready to lose.

JOON:
Ha-ha! You missed.

Okay...

KEISHA:
When someone like
Oliva's bugging me,

I like to imagine
I'm dancing for my fans.

Just imagine
I have 10 back-up dancers,

I'm about to perform in front of
30,000 screaming fans.

Oh, my gosh!

[♪♪♪]

Whoo!
♪ Uhn, uhn, uhn, uhn ♪

♪ Crazy, little, funny girl ♪

♪ Crazy, little, party girl ♪

♪ Crazy, little, party girl ♪

♪ Dancing in a dark room ♪

Oh, my gosh! She's so good!
She was born that way!

Her mom said she could dance
before she could walk.

Whoo!

Did she just smile at us?!

She just smiled at us!
Crazy!

Now, two lucky fans get
to join me on stage.

How 'bout you two?

BOTH:
Oh, my gosh!

This is
the best moment of my life.

We saved up for two years
to get these tickets!

And waited
in line for nine hours.

Oh, my gosh! She just asked us!

♪ Crazy, little, party girl ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

♪ Crazy, what you gonna do? ♪

♪ Where the girls
They going through ♪

Yeah!

♪ Crazy, little, party girl ♪

[♪♪♪]

Ooh!
Wow.

Wait, I have a question.
When did you guys meet?

I would say early 1400s
in Mongolia.

We were both Eagle Hunters.

But if you are
from this planet,

we were born in the same
hospital just one day apart.

JENNY:
You met when you were babies?

No, no,
that's just a cool detail.

Cut to eight years later
at the dentist.

[IMITATES DRILL]

KEISHA:
That's the dentist drill.

I was waiting
in the waiting room, terrified.

She was crying because she had
to get six baby teeth pulled.

I still miss those teeth.

Although, all that crying

did get me a lot of money
from the Tooth Fairy.

Yep. And, finally, I came out
from a regular checkup,

and I saw her, I walked over,
and pointed at her and said...

BOTH:
"Don't cry. It's not so bad."

And it wasn't.
The day started with an "ouch,"

but ended with "aww."

We've been besties ever since.

I would say that was
the best day of my life.

But there was
a day that was better.

When?
Meeting you.

Aww, you guys...

Check this out,
check this out.

Oh, yeah!
Okay.

♪ G4G, G4G ♪

Oh, let's show Jenny.

Ready? Three, two, one.

♪ G4G ♪

♪ Jenny, Rachel ♪

♪ Sarah, Keisha ♪

Girls...

For...
Greatness!

Whoo!
That was good.

WHITNEY:
Over to you, Gus.

GUS:
You got it.

Try and beat that.

All I have is this red jack.

He has a cool mustache.

They beat us again?!
Who are these sharks?

So, we won?
GUS: Oh, yeah, yeah.

That's four times in a row.

Beginner's luck, I guess.

You know, we can call it
a night if you want.

Yeah, all this winning
is making me tired.

No, no, no, no, no.
Give this kid some chocolate

and let's play one more game.

One more game. And if we lose,
one more game after that.

Yeah.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay.

Turn the ship!
Turn the ship!

Ahh!

Man overboard!

I see a shark! Ahh!

[BOTH SPEAKING GIBBERISH]

Okay, what is happening?

RACHEL:
We're creating a language
called Gibberish.

We have to teach you.

It's just made up words,

but then you put some
emotion to them.

Watch this.
How do you feel when you dance?

[SPEAKING GIBBERISH]

Ahh, spotlight.

Now, tell us how
you feel about Olivia?

RACHEL:
It will help
you get over her.

[SPEAKING GIBBERISH ANGRILY]

Is it because of
how mean she is?

You know what?

[SPEAKING GIBBERISH ANGRILY]
Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKING GIBBERISH
ANGRILY]

How are we losing
to a newbie and a child?

Because you're
letting them win.

What?
You're too soft
on your daughter.

Everyone knows
euchre above family.

It goes euchre, crazy eights,
then family, then go fish.

This is crazy.
Look at us. This isn't us.

I'll tell you
why we're losing,

there's nothing on the line.
What do you mean?

It's like a vegan barbecue,
no 'stakes.'

Yeah, yeah, you got a point.

We gotta play for something.

I don't want my grandson
playing for money.

Not money. I have an idea.
Follow my lead.

WHITNEY:
Oh, you came back.

MO:
Yes, we did.

KEISHA:
You know I hate pickles.

I can't believe
you're making me do this.

You're the one
who picked dare,

and you know when I dare,
I dare big.

You're diabolical,
but I'm not backing down.

Insta-poem me.

Jenny, you do one.

An insta-poem?

KEISHA: Yeah.
All right.

In a life so fickle,

Keisha's eating a pickle,

I bet you a nickel,

her tummy's gonna
get a little tickle.

Bravo.

Not too bad.

[CRUNCHING]

[GIGGLING]

[GROANING]

[GIGGLING]

It tastes like a cucumber
and a sardine had a baby.

[GIGGLING]

Oh...
Okay, Jenny, truth or dare?

Uh, truth.

Hmm. What to ask?

What to ask Miss Jenny Cortez?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I got one.

Who's one guy that
you can't stop thinking about?

Don't say Jeff
from music class.

I may like him.

Ooh, Tuba Jeff!

Oh, my!
Stop.

Uh, I don't even
think about guys.

Come on.

KEISHA:
You can tell us.

Yeah.

Who's a guy who's
always in your head.

Yeah, someone
who you think about

when you're falling asleep
and when you wake up.

[♪♪♪]

There is someone.

RACHEL:
What just happened?

Jenny, did we...
Did we say something wrong?

Do you wanna talk about it?

My dad loved to deep sea fish.

One weekend, he was supposed to
go out with my uncle Federico,

but he was too sick.

So he took me
to a restaurant instead.

He said it was just allergies,
and my mom said it was the flu,

but I had a bad feeling
in the pit of my stomach.

Those feelings are the worst.

A week later,
he went to the hospital,

and when he came home,
he said everything was fine.

But I heard my mom crying.

Six months later, he was gone.

That must have been
really hard.

It still is.

[♪♪♪]

Well,
I have something for you.

KEISHA:
You sing it, girl.

This song is about
not having a dad.

♪ Tell me now who's
Gonna scare to death ♪

♪ All the monsters that
Still hide beneath my bed? ♪

♪ And when I cry myself
To sleep ♪

♪ Who's gonna
Help me smile again? ♪

♪ I still hear your voice
Inside my head ♪

Thank you so much, Rachel.
That was beautiful.

Okay, final round,
winner takes all.

Why don't we make
this one interesting?

What were you thinking?

The loser has to...

Wear a bunny costume
in public.

How about the losers make
breakfast for the winners?

Excellent.
I'll have twelve boiled eggs,

three links of sausage,
and a slice of marble rye.

Toasted.
Lightly buttered.

Hmm. I'll take the same.

Only no butter
and way fewer eggs.

I'm in.

Okay, great. Deal the cards.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, it comes down to this.

Whitney's final card
decides who wins.

Mom, don't let me down.

[♪♪♪]

I'm so sorry, Joon.

Oh, no.

'Cause your grandfather's
making breakfast

and he can't cook an egg
to save his life!

We win!

Oh, man! Oh!

I'm going to the roof
to look at the stars!

Come back! Come on!

It's just Euchre, Mo.
You just broke my janitor.

Superintendent!

[♪♪♪]

Hey.

Buenos dias, sleepyhead.

Tumbling Tots will
be here in an hour.

I suggest you
tidy up and get ready.

Okay, Mom.

After that, you girls
should come up for breakfast.

Mm-hmm.

What are we having?

Anything you want.
Grandpa lost a bet last night.

Waffles?

Can you... Can you stop
bumping my arm?

How am I supposed to flip this
pancake when you're blocking me?

Okay, listen.
You hit me one more time,

I'm gonna flip you
like a pancake.

Hey, no sore losers,
thank you very much.

Ooh. I need a top up.

Right away,
Princess Whitney.

Oh, you guys got
pretty lucky last night.

Did we? Or are we just
excellent euchre plyers?

How long you been playing?

Every lunchtime
in high school.

It's like riding a bike,
you never forget.

So you conned us.
Oh, big time.

Hey, were you
in on this too?

Yup.

Mo, just so you know,

you have a huge tell.

What is it?
Every time you had a bad hand,

you pulled on your ear.

[CHUCKLES]
That's ridiculous.

Anyway, enjoy this most
delicious omelet.

Most delicious.

BOTH:
There it is.

You know what that means.

Omelet's no good.

I'm not eating that.
He's not eating that.

JENNY:
Good job.
Try and stick it.

Nice! That was really good.

Nice.

They make this look so easy!

Yeah. My front roll
looks like a front splat.

JENNY:
That's really good, guys.

Look at that smile on your face.

That's 'cause I haven't thought
about Olivia once today.

Sleepover victory!

Whoo!
Jenny! Jenny! Jenny!

I've got some exciting news!

JENNY:
That's great. What is it?

We just got a new client,
a big one.

That's great! Who is it?

The Canton Gymnastics team.

What?

Yeah, Miss Allister called,

she said they had
a huge flood at their gym,

and that they need
a place to train.

Starting Monday,
they'll be right here.

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

Yeah. Isn't it fantastic?

Whoo! Ha-ha!

[♪♪♪]
