I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but a football player has

joined the drama club. And it's pretty bad. No, he's just not good.

No, no, he's just having a hard time adjusting.

Very hard time. On my cue.

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,

15.

Step up and hold.

But he is our new dance captain and happens to be a very graceful dancer.

Like a big dumb gazelle.

Coach, are you seeing this? I'm dancing to the end zone, baby!

Woo!

And although he isn't fitting in with the drama club quite yet, I still think

can if we give him a chance.

Because as Mr. Snippet always says, let's get this bread!

way it says that i don't think so um he says we're only as strong as our weakest

link very wise words oh never heard him say that one happy monday let's get this

bread mr snippet that doesn't mean what you think it does drama club exciting

news today bench will be leading us in our first dance rehearsal

give it up for your dance captain

Drama team, who's ready to die?

Me, I am.

Drama

team,

welcome to your first dance practice.

I'm Betch, your dance captain, and I will be captaining your dance practice.

jacked up right now.

Football captain, dance captain, captain underpants. Look, it's all the same to

me. I was recruited to the drama team because I have a very particular set of

skill sets.

And because I'm failing all my classes.

The way I see it, there's a reason the drama team has never won a game. We

have games. If you want to be great dancers, you have to be great athletes.

Drama team?

Do you want to be great dancers?

Desperately. I can improve a little bit. Do you want to sell out every seat in

this auditorium?

Yeah!

Do you want to win this musical?

Yeah!

Get ice cream after because your mom said you did really good and she lets

stay up past your bedtime and you don't even need a nightlight because you're a

champion.

But then you wake up in the middle of the night and you're scared and you're

like, yo, where's that nightlight at?

Right? Yeah!

Come on, guys!

Hey,

maybe Bench will be better at this than I thought.

Although the nightlight thing was a little concerning.

Welcome to Bench's Boot Camp!

Today, we plie my way.

20 laps around the theater, now!

Maybe I spoke too soon.

I lost my legs.

Oh, found them.

Heck yes, I love running.

Bench and I have hundreds of things in common. But my favorite one has to be

passion for fitness.

I've actually tried out for the football team a few times.

They really wanted me.

I had to turn them down.

Too many conflicts.

You're going the wrong way!

Dismissed!

have to run laps, right?

We're giving Bench a chance.

Remember?

Right.

You heard your dance, Captain!

Run! Come on!

Go, go, go!

Hey.

What are you still doing here?

Oh, I'm the director. I don't have to run. Run! Okay, here we go.

This is going good.

No, I will not be running anything unless it's my 407 line.

Plus, I have more important matters to attend to that include getting my

talentless co -star, Bianca, to quit the drama club.

I tried getting rid of her the nice way.

I tried working with her. Deborah, my love, come hither.

Benedict, I... I can't work under these conditions.

Nothing's worked.

So, I'm initiating Operation Bye Bye, Bianca.

The only way to get her out of the drama club is to get in her head.

Lovely day for a stroll, right, Chica?

If the two weren't participating.

I gotta get my steps in if I want to look as good as you up on that stage.

If you're trying to flirt with me, don't. I have a boyfriend.

Ew.

Um, I mean...

Who's the lucky guy?

The rumors are true. Bench and I are TMS's newest power couple.

He doesn't know that yet, but he will.

No way.

Bench and Bianca.

I ship.

Right? We were meant to be. If it doesn't work out, I'll be ruined.

Do you like Beyonce or Benchica for a couple minutes?

Drama team, to the stage.

No.

The goal is swole.

You knew some running was hard.

Well, chug your LaCroix's, boys, because Bench is about to take you to burpee

town. I can burpee on command.

Ew, gross.

Hey, Mac, I don't know where Burpee Town is, but I do not want to go there.

You're the director.

Direct him. How many times do I have to tell you you're the teacher?

Okay, I know you're upset, but you do not need to insult me.

This is a burpee.

You will do these until you cry. What if you're already crying?

There's no crying in drama club unless the scene calls for it. Hey, Bench, this

isn't how dance rehearsal works.

It's supposed to be fun.

You're about to make Skip faint.

What? Bros.

I'm chilling.

I'm not gonna faint.

Oh.

Skip. I should stop working out and get him to the nurse since I am a teacher.

Right?

What's an intermission in sports called again?

Halftime. Hot dog.

Honey break.

Time out.

Bianca? I'm fine.

Okay, we don't have much time. How do we get out of this? This is not a dance

rehearsal. It's a death sentence.

Yeah, I'm like literally dying.

I'm too young to die.

Mr. Smith, what are you doing here?

Um, hello.

I'm hiding from the problem until it goes away.

Duh. Uh, I thought you were taking... Skip to the nurse.

Oh, I did.

He'll be fine.

I think.

300.

301.

302. Bam.

I'm straight up murdering boot camp.

What's that, Pinch?

You're right.

I am a beast.

He's just hallucinating. He'll be fine.

can fit in with the drama club. We just have to help him connect with his inner

artist. Yeah.

Wait. Are you suggesting a makeover?

I fully support that. And how are you supposed to do that? Have you seen how

he is?

Elephant tranquilizer.

It's the only way.

No.

Okay. If Bench wants a boot camp, we'll give him a boot camp.

What? That's right. I'm the director. You report to me, now follow in mine.

Uh, okay.

Do you want to be on the drum club bench?

Yes, sir.

Then you best start acting like it and do not call me sir.

Sir, you... I mean... How do you get a football player to listen? You speak his

language. A very loud language.

What can I say?

Being the student director has its perks.

drama club boot camp.

By the time we're through, you won't be calling out plays. You'll be reciting

them.

Sure.

Drama club, places.

Let's build a bench.

Let's see what we're working with.

Granny!

It's all gotta go.

Actor now.

A very serious actor.

In my experience, hypnotism works best on babies, animals, and anyone with a

weak mind.

So yeah, I'm pretty confident it'll work on that.

You need to learn about the art of live theater, and we're going to start at the

very beginning.

A very good place to start.

What do you know about Shakespeare?

Oh, I know about Shakespeare.

Protein shake.

Milkshake.

Protein shake.

Or not to be. Nope.

To be or not to be. Oh, no, thank you. I'm actually allergic to bees, so.

wrong, too, don't you?

That is the question.

What is the question? No, that's the next part.

You say, that is the question.

But I still don't know what the question is.

That's just saying, that is the question.

How do you want me to answer what the question is if I don't know the

To grow or act. Come on, bench.

To be or not to

be.

Wait, what did you say?

To be or not to be.

That, that is the question.

George, I think he's got it. Who's got it? You got it.

Call me Benjamin.

That's right.

I'm an actor now.

I've been studying the best actors in the world. And the way I see it, there

two steps to becoming the best actor in the world. One, have a classy name.

Benjamin Dunn. Two, commit 100%. That's a tough one for me because I am

Benjamin. I only know how to commit 1 ,100%. I

used to have that vest.

I looked good.

Operation Bye Bye Bianca is officially in phase two. Now that I know how

important her little boyfriend Bench is to her, I know exactly how to take her

down. Bench Logan, meet your new best bro.

Call me Benjamin.

Benjamin.

Benjamin.

Benjamin.

Benjamin.

Benjamin. Benjamin.

Hey, yo, bro.

What's good with you?

I mean, Bench, you look

different. It's Benjamin.

What do you want?

Benjamin.

Sweet switch up. I feel that.

Yo, bro to bro, I just wanted to warn you about your new girlfriend, Bianca.

Excuse moi?

I don't have a girlfriend.

I'm dating my acting career, something you'd know nothing about. So leave me

little sports boy. Go.

Did you just call me sports boy?

Okay, what is going on here?

Mackenzie? Oh, good. I see you've met the new and improved bench.

How many times must I say it's Benjamin?

I can't work under these conditions.

I'm the only one who gets to say that. Why is he awful now?

I don't know.

Part of my training in becoming the best actor in the world is to take an online

intensive called How to Be the Best Actor in the World.

And they say, in order to be big, you must make everyone else feel small.

Donna! Donna! Where is my hot frozen yogurt?

But of course, Mr. Benjamin, sir.

Huh.

And I thought Bianca was a problem.

What have we done?

We've created a monster.

And his name is Benjamin.

Benjamin is out of control. You're telling me. He gave me a list of demands

longer than a CVS receipt.

20 white doves. A big miniature trampoline. What does that even mean?

Benjamin, you're scary.

Again? Mr. Sniffit, what are you doing here?

What does it look like?

I'm hiding from Benjamin.

Darlene, where are my candies?

My sour candies?

I have to go. I have to go now.

Come in.

Yeah, I took an elder in warm -ups, but I bounced back and I'm ready to get

swole with Bench. No.

Do not overexert yourself.

Do you understand?

No burpees, no getting swole, and no running.

Okay?

Totally. Totally.

Totally.

Ben!

I'm coming!

I'm running as fast as I can, Ben!

Sometimes when you're the best actor in the world, people will forget that

you're the best actor in the world. So you have to remind them.

By throwing a temper tantrum.

Ask any of the greats. Christian Bale, Tom Cruise, Dora the Explorer.

They all do it.

I actually heard one time Dora threw her backpack at a director.

Look where she is now.

How do you expect me to dance if my socks haven't been steamed?

Let me talk to him. He listens to me.

The rumors are true.

Bench and I broke up.

He's changed.

Bench! Bench, I'm back!

Talk!

Dude!

It's me, Skip, your best friend.

You're ride or die.

Okay, someone remove him before I... You're lucky I have to take this.

It's my agent.

What's a good word, Barry?

Guys? What happened to Bench?

Well, we... We... Guys, we... Wanted Bench to fit in with the drama club.

So we... Made a few improvements.

That majorly backfired. And now we're all heartbroken and single.

So you made Bench change who he is to fit in here?

Yeah. He was trying to turn us into football players. He made us run laps.

sent you to the nurse. You hear yourself?

You're no better than he is.

This is not the drama club I signed up for.

I joined this club because it's the only place where I can be me.

Same.

You're right.

Drama club is supposed to be about celebrating who you are, not stifling

We need to get the old bench back.

If only there was a way.

But at last there's not, so I must get going now. Excuse me, excuse me. Wait,

Oliver, are there more football costumes?

In the costume closet.

Why? We took it too far, and now Bench has become someone I hope I never meet

again. I think the only way to help him snap out of it is to remind him of where

he came from. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to get my quarterback back.

Ow!

Where is he?

I'm sweating.

And sweating?

He's not my friend. Well, he was supposed to be here about five minutes

Spencer's here.

Pardon?

I was told this is the secret meeting place for the Illuminati. I am looking

a one Mr. Jay -Z.

Oh, unfortunately, the Illuminati isn't real.

But we are playing a very fun game of football and could really use a dude

your skill.

Yeah, boy.

Toss around the pink skin with the scar, lip boy. What is this unfortunate

character you're playing?

That's petulant swines. The only tackling I do now is the tackling of a

difficult robe.

You've wasted my precious time.

Being an actor is crazy, bro. I committed so hard, I got lost in this

that wasn't even me.

Either that, or I was hypnotized.

He's back!

Dude, I missed you so much! I mean, what?

I missed you a reasonable amount.

Glad you're back, Bench.

Since we're all out here, you want to teach us how to play some football?

Heck yeah!

Yo, Bianca, catch!

Oh, no, no, no. Ew, no.

Yes, the rumors are true.

Hashtag binge is officially back on.

Just so you know, this isn't over. It has only just begun.

What?

I said this isn't over. Oliver, I can't hear you. I'm wearing a football helmet.

What? I said this isn't... You know what?

Storming away.

Sure, Bench isn't a natural fit, but he's unique.

And that's what the drama club is all about.

Maybe he was meant to be.

Or not too good.

That is the question.

Yeah, it was good getting back on that football field.

Showed off a bit.

This is the best day of my life!

Skippy, you're going the wrong way!

Might have got a little cocky, but hey, at the end of the day, it's all just

love of the game.

That's there!

I'd do it for the drama.
