MARTHA: You know, you think
that when you get old,

you'll pass on
all your junk to your kids,

and it'll become their problem
to deal with when you're gone.

Guess what?

I never had any kids,
and I've got a whole lot of junk.

Morning.
WOMAN: Hi.

Can I help you with anything?
You want anything?

WOMAN: Thank you.
Just looking.

(MARTHA SIGHING)

MARTHA". So here I am.

I'll give it to you
for $30, it's okay.

You can have this. Look.

That's $15.
Thanks.

Got that? $35.

I just love
estate sales,

you know, 'cause they, like,
give you a glimpse into a person's life.

$83.50.

Did you know the owner?

I did.

HOW did she die?
Cancer.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
Who was she?

Nice choice.

Thank you very much.

I have lived in this same
apartment for 46 years.

I don't know
where the years have gone.

Oh, my God.

Ah. My mom. She used to
say that we don't die.

We live on through
the memories we leave behind.

(SIGHS)

Good-bye.

I guess this is it for me.

(SINGING)
Sometimes I'm tired

And I wonder
what's so all-fired important

About being someplace
at some time

Oh, but I don't really mind

'Cause I could be
on Easy Street

And I know that you've got to
take the bitter with the sweet

I guess it gets to everyone

You think you're not
having any fun

And you wonder
what you're doing

Playing the games you play

Hey, well
It's true what they say

If you want to feel complete

Don't you know that you've got
to take the bitter with the sweet

(OVER PHONE) Hi, Martha.
This is Lindsay from Dr. Lee's office.

You missed your appointment
this morning.

MARTHA: I'd like to
cancel, actually. Uh...

No, I mean,
what I'm saying is,

I'd like to cancel
all my appointments.

But your chemo
starts next week.

You should really just speak with...
MARTHA: No, Lindsay.

I'm not doing the treatment.

(SINGING) A friend of mine
once told me

And I know he knows
all about feelin' down

He said everything good
in life you've got to pay for

But feelin' good is what
you're paving the way for

Na-Na-Na-Na-Na

MARTHA: Come on!

Well...
(SCOFFS) Anytime.

(CAR HORN HONKING)

Sorry, but... Yeah.

WOMAN: Lenny.
LENNY: Okay.

Go on by.
WOMAN: Go ahead.

(SIGHS)

MARTHA: What?

Hi.

Hey there!

Oh, my God.

(SINGING) And I can tell you
that it's true

It's a feeling
that can't be beat

And you've got to do it

Hi there!
MAN: Hello!

You've got to take
the bitter with the sweet

You've got to take
the bitter with the sweet

You've got to take You've got
to take You've got to take

The bitter with the sweet

The bitter with the

Sweet, sweet, sweet

Oh, sweet

Oh!

Oh, shoot.

(GROANS)

Oh, my goodness.
You must be Martha.

Huh? Oh.

I'm Vicki.

This is Gayle and Barbara. Hi!

Hello.
We are the welcoming committee.

And this is for you.

On. on.
(YELPS)

I'm sorry. Excuse me.
I'm sorry. That's fine.

Don't worry about it.
It's no problem. Anyway...

It's just a little
Southern hospitality.

Now, what brings you
to Sun Springs?

Oh, I'm just
here to die.

Well, I think we can aim a
little bit higher than that.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Let's get started
with the tour.

Uh-huh.
What do you mean, "the tour"?

You are official.
Wait. Whoa.

Yeah, let's go.
You gotta protect that pretty skin.

Yeah, that's right.

Tackle this one.
We'll put that in your front yard.

WOMAN: All right, put your hands up.
Come on. Don't be lazy.

We got everything
you could ever need.

We've got three golf
courses, two bowling alleys,

oh,an indoor pool

and the outdoor pool.

Yeah.
The works.

I always say,

if you are bored
in Sun Springs,

you just need
to be watered.

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

She always says that. She does?

VICKI: Let's move on.

All our residents are required
to join at least one club.

MARTHA; Oh.

VICKI: Now, there are
over 100 of 'em.

In the unlikely event that you
can't find the right club for you...

Fun fact!
What?

You can start your own. Mmm-hmm.

Gayle and I started a club
called the Southern Belles.

Oh, is that a fact?
I'm not allowed to join.

It's called
the Southern Belles.

It's not called
the Wisconsin Belles.

I don't know how many times I
have to explain that to you.

Oh, and the biggest event of
the year is the Senior Showcase.

Oh, my God.
Oh. Really?

All of Sun Springs'
talent on one stage.

GAYLE: The whole community
comes out to watch.

It's a real hoot.
You're gonna love it, Martha.

Well, I mean, I'll...

Obviously, l will be sure
and check my calendar.

Great.
But if you'll excuse me, ladies.

I just wanna say
thanks for the tour.

I should get going, though.
I really should.

No, you haven't done
your safety training.

MARTHA: My what?
VICKI: Safety training.

MARTHA: Uh-huh.

MAN: As chief of security,
it's my job to keep our residents safe.

I run a team of highly trained
volunteers, just like Dorris here.

Say hi, Dorris.
Hi!

Hello, Dorris.

All tips are anonymous.

So if you see something,
say something.

Like what?

Overgrown hedges.

Excessive lawn
ornamentation.

If someone has
their Christmas lights

on past New Year's.
That's a big one.

Very big-

Well, are you authorized
to use deadly force?

Excuse me?

Well, let's just
say it's July,

and my neighbor hasn't taken
down his Christmas lights.

Are you gonna have the
guts to do what it takes?

Well...

Mostly we just
issue citations.

I'm glad you find
this so amusing.

(LAUGHS)

(GRUNTS)

(SCOFFS)

(SIGHS)

(EXHALES)

Oh, my God.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Hi!

Moving in.
Oh.

I was hoping
you'd be a man.

Excuse me?

Did you know single women outlive
single men by almost 10 years?

And Lord knows there's not enough
erections around here as it is.

Oh, we're talking
erections, huh? Wow.

I'm Sheryl.
I live next door. Sheryl.

Yes, Sheryl.
Good to meet you.

Hey, you don't
play poker, do you?

Because I run
a weekly game.

And we could sure
use another player.

It's all very hush-hush

because gambling's
not allowed around here,

like most things
that are worthwhile.

You should drop by tonight
and say hi to the guys.

God, you know,
it's been a very...

It's a long day for me.
I just moved in.

But thanks.
I really appreciate what you're...

The invitation's sweet.

I get it.
It's really nice.

Thanks so much
for coming by.

See ya.
Great.

Oh, God. Bye.

Okay.
(LOCK CLICKS)

(FAINT CHATTERING, LAUGHTER)
(MUSIC PLAYING)

Oh, my God.

Okay. That's it.

SHERYL: Okay.

Hey!

God damn it.

(CONTINUES KNOCKING)

Hello!

Oh, God.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Yes.

We'll send somebody
right over

Hey, Chief.
What is it, Dorris?

Well, we got a 314 in progress over
there on Pleasant Valley Drive.

Somebody's getting raped?

Well, now...

Mmm...

What's a noise complaint?
That's a 315.

Oh. Well, yeah,
that's the one.

MAN: It's Carl!

WOMAN: Carl? Come on.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
Oh.

Oh.
Hey.

You didn't call the cops on
me, did you?

Because if there's a problem,
I hope you can just come straight to me.

Well, of course.
I mean, same goes for you.

Good. We need
somewhere to hide.

Come on, guys.

I'm sorry, but...

SHERYL: This'd work.
Over here!

MARTHA: Well, I...
Howdy, ma'am.

Hello.

MAN: Get this out
the way here.

Hey, Martha!
You want a beer?

No, no.
Thanks so much.

SHERYL: Okay. Let's go.
MAN: Here we go.

SHERYL: Oh, thanks!
Mmm-hmm.

There you go.
Sorry about the intrusion.

MARTHA: No, that's fine.
That's absolutely fine.

I really love having strange men in
my house at all hours of the night.

(LAUGHS)

But who is that?

Oh, that's Ben.
He's Sheryl's gardener.

MARTHA: Really?

Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.

Okay. Thank you.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

MAN: All right, come on,
ante up now.

MARTHA: What is this?

Evening, ma'am.

Evening. I just wanted to
follow up on your call.

Don't worry. Everything's
absolutely fine now.

No, ma'am,
I'm afraid it is not.

It's never that
quiet over there.

I didn't see
anyone in the house,

but there were clear
signs of subterfuge.

"Subterfuge"?
Yes, ma'am.

It's like chicanery
or evasion.

I just want you to know that
Dorris and I will be on stakeout.

MARTHA: Thank you.

All right. Bye.

(CHATTER RESUMES)

MAN: That's on you, Sheryl.

Hey, Martha,
you want a beer?

(IMITATES GUNSHOT)
Good night, everyone.

We'll whisper.

(CHATTERING CONTINUES)
(MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING)

Just shut up.

Oh, God, I can't take it.

(HORN HONKS)

SHERYL: Hey!
(HORN HONKS)

MARTHA: Oh! Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
SHERYL: Hey there!

Yeah. Hi. Hello.
Hey.

I want to take
you to lunch.

That isn't really necessary.
To say thank you for last night.

Whoa. What a night, right?
Come on.

I don't take "no" for an answer.
I gathered that.

I bet you haven't
got other plans.

Okay, fine.
Come on, hop in. Hop in.

I got it. Okay. I'll get in right now.
We're gonna be late.

I promise
you'll love it.

(SINGING) Playing with
the queen of hearts

SHERYL: So, what brings
you to Sun Springs?

Well, I heard really good things
about the Southern Belles.

Yeah.
(LAUGHS) The Southern Belles.

Give me a break.

Bunch of mean ol' gals
and their stupid club.

Hi, girls!
WOMAN: Good to see you!

Hey.

What clubs do you belong to?

I just turn up, pretend I'm
interested, and eat all the free food.

Will we be
seeing you perform

at the Senior Showcase
I've heard so much about?

Oh, no. My only talents
are poker and poking.

"Poker and poking"?

Where are you taking me?

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

The real perk
about this place

is that people
are constantly dying.

They list all the
funerals in the papers,

and there's always
tons of free food.

Here. Put this in your purse.
No,no,no,no.

Put it in your own purse.
Okay? Thanks.

Mine's already full.
Just shove it in.

No, I don't really want to.
Oh, okay.

Shall we go pay
our respects?

Okay, I'm out of here.
Do you want to have a drink?

No, I'll have a drink later, thanks.
I'm out of here.

(PHONE RINGING)

(OVER PHONE)
Hey, Martha, it's Sheryl.

We're going to bingo,
and we'd love for you to join us.

There's some great prizes.

Listen, I'm sorry

about taking you to that wake.

I know you didn't like it.
I'm sorry. It was...

Anyway, give me a call,
would you?

I haven't seen you, and I'd love to...
You know, bingo's fun.

(PHONE RINGING)

SHERYL: (OVER PHONE) Oh, hi, Martha.
I was hoping you'd pick up.

We're going bowling,
and we'd love for you to join us.

I can teach you. It's simple.
It's all in the wrist.

So give me a call,
why don't you?

Bye.

(COUGHS, SIGHS)

(GROANS)

(JINGLE PLAYING)
I'm Tim Nichols.

Now, death can be expensive.

There's the embalming,
the caskets, the flowers,

the funeral and cemetery fees,

just to name a few.

Have you ever wondered
if there's a better way?

Well, now there is.

Send your loved one off in
style by sending their ashes up

in one of our custom-made
funeral fireworks.

I guarantee
they'll get a bang out of it.

(JINGLE ENDS)
(FIREWORK WHISTLING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(DOOR LOCK CLICKS)
(DOOR OPENS)

What?

(SOFTLY) Oh, my God.
What is this?

(BOTH SCREAMING)

What the hell
are you doing?

What am I doing?

Oh, my God.
I thought you were a burglar.

You haven't been
out of this place for days.

I thought you'd slipped
in the shower or something.

I was worried the cats
were getting at you.

I don't have cats.

Jesus Christ!

You could've killed me
with that thing.

Who are you?

Let's have some wine.
Come on. Let's sit down.

Okay, yeah...
(YELPS)

Oh, my God.
Jesus Christ!

I'm really sorry about being
such a bitch at the wake.

I was mad about something
else, and, you know,

I shouldn't have
taken it out on you.

No, I'm sorry for
telling you what to do.

You're a grown-ass woman.
You can do whatever you want.

Yeah.

What's this?

Oh, no. It's just
a bunch of old junk.

You were a cheerleader?

Oh. Aren't you
full of surprises.

Miss Pep Squad,
queen of the campus.

Yeah, in another life,
I guess you'd call it.

I used to just come running home,
so that I could practice all afternoon.

And it drove
my mom totally crazy.

That's how bad I wanted it.
Yeah.

And I tried out three times,
and I never made the cut.

But get this.

Finally, in my senior year,
I made the varsity squad.

Better late than never.
Yeah.

On the day before
our first game,

I found out that
my mother was

very sick, sol...

I quit the team, you know,
and started to take care of her.

Yeah, and...
(LAUGHS) Oh, my God.

You know, I never...

I never did perform.

No... It's nothing.

Maybe you should
give it another shot.

Yeah, maybe the Dallas Cowgirls
have an opening. Right?

Yeah.

You know what?
What?

I really love this.

Mmm-hmm.
I think it's kinda sexy.

Don't you think?
Hey...

Could I borrow this?

No!

No, I can't?
No, I mean, of course you can.

'Cause I'm taking pictures
for my Jdate profile.

I didn't know you were Jewish.
Oh, I'm not.

Hey.

I'm glad
you're not cat food.

Yeah. Thanks.

See ya.
Yeah, see you.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

MARTHA; Hello!

Hello?

Shh. Sheryl's not here.

Who are you anyway?
I mean...

And don't give me that nonsense
about being the gardener.

I live here. They don't let
anyone under 55 live here,

so I gotta keep a low profile.
Oh.

So, Sheryl likes 'em young,
does she, huh?

What? Oh!

Sheryl is my grandma.
What?

Oh.

Yeah.

And where is she
anyway, huh?

She substitute teaches at my school
when she needs the extra cash,

so she's down there.

Sheryl's a teacher?

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

If you can call it that.
I pretend to be sick whenever she's there.

It's kind of humiliating.

Ms. Faris is away sick,
so we'll be watching a movie.

Yes?
What's the movie?

It's an educational video
about the dangers of STDs.

Are you even qualified
to be teaching us?

SHERYL:
What's your name?

Chloe.

Well, Chloe, the State of Georgia
has surprisingly low standards

for substitute teachers.

If you've got a problem with that,
you take it up with your congressman.

Okay, but we're supposed to
be studying Romeo and Juliet.

Well, today you'll be studying gonorrhea.
(STUDENTS CHUCKLING)

WOMAN: (ON TV)
So you wanna have sex.

You should know what's up
before getting down.

KIDS: (ON TV) Yeah!

(SINGING) Sex can be
fun But there's STDs

Some can be cured
But some you can't treat

Uh-oh
Herpes, oh, no

Hep B, uh-oh

What if it's HIV?

GIRL: And one, two,
three, four...

So you're a teacher, huh?

Well, I like to think of
myself as more of a life coach.

I was a teacher.

Yeah?
Yes. Yes.

Do you ever miss it?
Sometimes.

I mean, God, the hours were
long and the pay was ridiculous,

but, yeah,
I guess I miss it.

SHERYL: So, what are you
doing here?

I have an
announcement to make.

We're starting a cheerleading
club at Sun Springs.

Is that the setup
or the punch line?

No,no,no, I'm really serious.
Right?

I mean, I have
to join a club.

I don't like any
of their clubs,

so I'm creating my own.

Yes! I mean, seriously.

You do know
how old you are.

What's the difference?
I mean,

we'll learn a few moves.
There's nothing to it.

Hey, what's this "we"?

I know this sounds
so crazy, but I...

I can't do it
without you.

What's in it for me?

What do you want?

I want you to teach Ben
how to drive.

All the other kids have got their license.
I think he's embarrassed.

I'd teach him myself,
but I don't have a car.

Yeah, no, I can't do that.
Cannot do that.

Well, that's the deal.
Take it or leave it.

You're the one who told me I should
take up cheerleading again. Right?

Well, I didn't
mean literally.

It was more of a metaphor for,
you know, getting laid or something.

You know.

So next up we have
Martha Walker's application.

Okay.
(CLEARS THROAT)

Um...

We're starting
a cheerleading club.

But who will you
be cheering for'?

Ourselves.

And, of course,
we will be performing

for the Senior
Showcase.

VICKI: Oh, will you?

Well, I'm sorry,
but we can't allow this.

Oh, come off it!
Why not?

Well, insurance,
for one thing.

There's nothing dangerous about this.
It's just for fun.

Well, we also have Sun Springs'
reputation to think about.

It's cheerleading,
not pole dancing.

(LAUGHS)

Sorry.

(LAUGHTER)

Were you ever a
cheerleader, Martha?

Not exactly.
VICKI: Well, I was.

Captain of my squad.

What a surprise.

And it's a lot more physically
demanding than people realize.

Even for younger women.

And may I suggest that you form a club
that's a little more age-appropriate.

Well, I do believe
that you told me

that if I didn't find a
club that I really liked,

I could start my own.

How many members do you have?
So far?

Uh...

Just two.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm sorry.

You need eight members
to form an official club.

Well, then we're gonna
find eight members.

Hi, I'm Olive.

I don't have any
cheerleading experience,

but my husband and I,
we take a tango class.

BOTH: Oh...

It was either tango
or divorce, so...

You know what you could do
is just show us what you got.

Let me begin.

(SINGING) When marimba
rhythms start to play

Dance with me, make me sway

Like a lazy ocean
hugs the shore

Hold me close, sway me more

(MUSIC ENDS)

That was fantastic.

Sweet!
Whoo!

(SINGING)
Let's go, girls

Come on

Wow.

I'm going out tonight
I'm feelin' all right

Gonna let it all hang out

Wanna make some noise Really
raise my voice Whoo-hoo.

Yeah, I wanna scream and shout

(MUSIC STOPS)

(NEW AGE INSTRUMENTAL
MUSIC PLAYING)

(GASPS)

(WHISPERING) Well,
I don't know what to say about this one.

Namaste.

Namaste.

Oh. And "naste."

Namaste. Namaste.
Excuse me. Namaste.

Ruby Jenkins! Aerobics!

Take it away.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING)
I'm every woman

It's all in me

Anything you want done, baby
I do it naturally

I'm every woman

Uh-huh.
Oh, yeah!

I'm every woman

(SQUEALING)

I'm every woman

I'm every woman

(LAUGHING)
(WHOOPING)

(MUSIC STOPS)
I haven't done that in years.

(STARS AND STRIPES
FOREVER PLAYING)

(MUSIC STOPS)
MARTHA: Whoo.

Wow! That was great!

Where did you
learn to do that?

I was Miss Carney County.

Runner-up.

1953.

What did the winner do?

Had sex with the judges.

Oh. (LAUGHS)

(SNORTS)

Here.

No speeding, okay?

Do exactly what I tell you to
do, when I tell you to do it.

Now, you got that?
You got it? Got it.

Okay.

What you're going to do
is you're going to back up

and look in your
mirrors. Right?

Okay. Go ahead. Look.
That's good.

That's good. Back up a little.
Back a little bit?

Nice and easy.

That's pretty good.
Right there. That's enough.

Now I want you to pull
forward and signal. Okay?

Pull forward!

(SCREAMS AND SIGHS)

Okay.

You ran right into me.
Do you know how to drive?

Not really.

Oh, my God!

My mom's gonna kill me!
Okay. Don't worry about it.

I'll just get the insurance.
It'll be fine.

I'm sorry. I...

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING)
Oogum oogum, boogum boogum

Boogum, now,
baby You're casting your spell on me

Aren't you hungry?
No, I'm fine. l don’t

really have much of an appetite right
now, that's all.

It must've been embarrassing
for you back there, huh?

It's fine. They all think
I'm a weirdo anyway.

Why?

'Cause I live in a
retirement community.

Yeah. I mean,
why do you live here?

My parents weren't really
the parenting types.

Can I ask you something?
Yeah. Shoot. Yeah.

Why did you move
to Sun Springs?

I don't know. I guess
I just wanted to get away.

I wanted to
simplify my life.

Is it working?
Not really.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING) Saguquga sathi
bega nantsi Pata Pata

Oh, God. You know what?
We're still one woman short.

Well, it's probably
for the best.

I mean, I love those gals.
But let's face it,

they're not
really cheerleaders.

You know you're supposed
to be helping me. Right?

Remember, six women signed up
for the tryouts, but...

Only five showed up.

So... Who's the sixth?

(LIQUID POURING)

Nice place you got here.
It's very themed.

Oh, yes. My husband,
he enjoys the game.

Oh, do YOU Play golf,
by the way?

Oh, no!
SHERYL: No?

So, Alice, we notice you signed
up for the cheerleading tryouts.

Oh, yes. I saw your flier.
It sounded fun.

Why didn't you come?

Well, I wanted to.

But my husband doesn't like
me out too much on my own.

I took a sewing
class last year,

and he had to make his own
dinners on Wednesday night.

Well, that sounds
traumatic, of course.

What if we practiced in the morning?
And then you could get home

Yeah.
In time for dinner.

Yeah, well,
it's not just that.

No, he's worried about
the morality of it.

The morality.
Yes.

He says that anyone who wants
to be a cheerleader at my age

is either a slut or a
whore, and probably both.

(LAUGHING) Maybe he should just
take his caveman-like opinions

and shove 'em up his you-know-what.
Hey! Alice,

Sorry. we're just a
bunch of nice ladies...

...looking for some clean,
wholesome fun.

What do you say?

Well, I always did want
to be a cheerleader.

(SIGHS) Maybe I could ask
him one more time. Yeah.

Yeah. Go on.
Yeah. Okay.

Good luck.
Good luck. Oh, my gosh.

(DOOR CLOSES)

She's a sweetheart.
She's very sweet. Very sweet.

God, he really loves golf.

MARTHA: (WHISPERS) He
sounds like such an asshole.

SHERYL: Okay, here she comes.

So... Did you ask him?
l did.

SHERYL: And what'd he say?
"Over my dead body."

MARTHA: Oh, God,
that was fast, wasn't it?

A little too fast,
if you ask me.

He confused his meds,
I'm sure.

Alice didn't wanna kill him.

Well, she always wanted
to be a cheerleader.

Oh, come on.
The woman is devastated.

I'm sure it was the last
thing that was on her mind.

See you at practice.

Hello, everyone!
ALL: Hi!

Good morning.
Hi!

PHYLLIS: Morning.
Wow, look at you all.

I think we should try
something very simple to begin.

So, if you don't mind,
I would really enjoy

seeing you getting
into a straight line.

We're gonna try
some very simple positions.

Now, watch me.
So it's on the count of three.

It's one, two, three...
Boom!

You got that?
Straight arms.

One, two, three,
boom! Jump!

Not quite good.

What's the matter? I'm sorry.
I have a sore shoulder.

Uh-huh.
I had to take an aspirin...

(GROANS)

Can I put this down? I have...
Yeah... Okay... That's fine. Good.

I have to be careful.
MARTHA: Hmm?

I had my knee
replaced last year.

MARTHA: Well, that's...
No, that's perfectly fine.

You can just bend
at your hips.

I can’t jump too much
'cause I get dizzy.

When I jump too much, I get dizzy.
You do?

Yeah.
SHERYL: Martha?

Maybe we should make a list
of everybody's condition,

just to be aware.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

We're not making a list.

You got my dizziness down, right?
Yeah, got that.

And sciatica.
I have the sciatica.

Oh, right.
ALICE: Is that in English?

OLIVE: My wrist.
Did I mention I had chlamydia?

Yeah, that, and a shocking amount
of other personal information.

So can we get back
to rehearsing?

But what about you, Martha?
Do you have anything to report?

No, I'm fine.
I'm actually...

I'm just as fit
as a fiddle.

(SIGHS)

Hi. Excuse me. Are you Martha?
And you are?

I'm Tom Lendl.
I'm Helen's son.

Is everything all right?
Well, no. It isn't.

My mother said she needs $100
for some cheerleading club?

Yeah. Why is that any of your business?
I handle my mother's finances.

Well, if Helen
has a problem,

she can talk to me,
and we'll work something out.

My mother doesn't need money, okay?
She's got plenty of money.

My father left
her quite a lot.

It's up to me to make sure
she spends it wisely.

Mmm. I'm sure
you're aware of the fact

that your mother
is an adult.

Well, I don't know if you're
aware, but this place is a cesspool

of con artists
and salesmen.

All trying to take advantage
of gullible old women.

It's true.

Thank you, Carl.
I can handle this, okay?

One hundred dollars.
For what?

Uniforms for the Senior Showcase.
Uniforms?

Yeah. Funny?

(CHUCKING)

You think that's funny?
A little, yes.

Nobody wants to see
a bunch of 80-year-olds

running around in short skirts.
Uh-huh.

It's not gonna happen.

Let's go.

(ON PHONE)
Martha, Vicki here.

The committee regretfully denies
your request for more time

to rehearse in
the recreation center.

Now I'm sure you understand.

We have to prioritize
the more established clubs

in the lead-up
to the Senior Showcase.

So, what's the first thing you're gonna
do when you get your driver's license?

Got any hot dates planned?
(BOTH CHUCKLE)

I don't even have a car.
Yeah, so?

I mean, get a job and buy one.
I have a job.

Most of my money goes to Sheryl
to help outwith the rent.

I work at this pizza place.

So, hang on. I know. Why don't
you come and work for us?

Because we need music in our
rehearsals, and you'd be a great DJ.

Yes!
No, thank you.

I think it's embarrassing
enough already.

No, come on.
How about 40 bucks a rehearsal?

Huh?

MARTHA: I've got to show
you something here.

(ALL CHEERING)

This is it!
We got pom-poms!

(ALL CLAMORING)

All right, everybody. Okay.
You ready? Okay. Here I go.

Now, five, six,
seven, eight...

Jump one, hold two,
arms three, hold four.

Hips five, six.
Clap seven, punch eight!

Got it?
Should we do it again?

You want me to do it
one more time for you?

Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Ready and...

(WHISPERS)
This is crazy.

Jump one, hold two,
arms three, hold four.

Hips five, six. Clap seven.
Punch eight.

Do you think you have it?
All right.

You know what
we're gonna do?

We're gonna put
this baby to music.

Ben, you got the music over there?
Got it.

A little old-school, but...
Yeah, yeah. Thanks for the opinion.

And here we go.

(MUSIC STARTS)

Jump one, hold two.
Arms three, hold four.

Hips five, six. Clap seven.
Punch eight!

(SINGING) See the people
walking down the street

Fall in line just watchin'
all their feet

They don't know
where they want to go

But they're walkin' in time

They got the beat
They got the beat

They got the beat

Yeah, they got the beat

Keep going. Come on. You can do it faster.
You can do it even faster.

All the kids just gettin'
out of school

They can't wait to hang out
and be cool

Hang around 'til quarter
after twelve

No,no,no!
No,no,no!

Oh, no! We gotta take
this from the top.

(ALL GROANING)
MARTHA: Yeah. All right.

Now look, Alice,
here's the problem here.

I'm really sorry about this,
but you're too slow.

You gotta...
Fart! Balls! Shit!

Whoa. Oh.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

My husband didn't like it when I
cursed, so now that he's gone

I'm gonna
give it a shot.

Yeah. I'm also gonna
try reefer cigarettes,

and I'm only gettin' started!
There you go! Okay.

Yes!
MARTHA: Thanks for sharing.

Okay, let's go with this one more time.
Let's do it. You can do it!

Cunnilingus! Go!

(SINGING) We got the
beat We got the beat

We got the beat
We got the beat

PHYLLIS: Good-bye, ladies.
See you later. Hey!

The girls are gonna have a drink.
You wanna come?

You know, quite frankly,

we need more
rehearsal time,

not drinks, because
you know why?

We look like a bunch of
old ladies out there.

We are a bunch of
old ladies out there.

And where are
we gonna practice?

I mean, Vicki will hardly let
us use this space as it is.

No, but you need to get us
a space at the school.

No, I can't do that.
I'm in big trouble at the school.

I was caught handing out
prophylactics in the girls' bathroom.

Mmm-hmm. The Senior Showcase
is in two weeks,

and we need rehearsals.
Okay.

I'll ask the principal.

He's got a crush on me. Could work.
All right, okay. All right.

And one. And two.

And keep your form,
ladies, with the curl.

And three, and four.
Come on, keep that form.

It's all about that bone density.
Welcome to the gun show.

There you go. Ooh.
Look at those.

Look at that.
All right, girl! I love it.

Okay, now, chest presses.
And one.

And two.
Ladies.

And three.
Sewn' ready for the showcase?

And four.
Yes indeed, Miss Vicki.

I'm sorry that
we had to cancel

your rehearsal tomorrow.

I realize that you have got a
lot of training to get done.

Well, don't you worry about it
because Sheryl's already found us

a better place to rehearse.
Mmm-hmm.

Oh, really?
Where might that be?

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

Come on.
This way, ladies.

OLIVE: What are
we doin' here?

Oh. So this is what it's
like being a cheerleader.

I feel like pushing
someone into a locker.

BOY: Cougar alert, yo!
Guys, guys.

You gotta listen to me for a second.
You can't do this, okay?

This is a bad,
bad idea.

Oh, don't be
so dramatic.

Grandma, you are going to humiliate
yourself in front of the entire school.

The entire school?
The entire school?

What are we talking about
here, huh?

Huh?

You don't know?
No.

This is what you wanted.
No, this is not what I wanted.

I wanted a space
to rehearse in.

That's what this is. No, this...
This is a pep rally.

Yeah.
Right?

There's a whole school out there,
and we're not ready for an audience, okay?

We can't cancel.

You have no idea what I had to
go through with the principal

just to make this happen.

Well, well, well.

If it isn't the teacher
of the year.

Isn't there a quarterback somewhere
you need to be giving a hand job?

MARTHA: Okay, all right.

Do you mind just stepping
outside for a moment, please?

What... No!
This is our pep rally.

They already made us cut
a minute off our routine.

Okay, but just give
us a second, okay?

Whatever.
Whatever.

I just hope your moves are a little
more up-to-date than you are.

You bitches
wanna rumble?

See ya out there.

(ALL CHEERING)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING) Working at the video store,
every day's a bore, I just dream away

DVDs are gone for life,
we just get online and go to Pirate Bay

Son of a whore!

Look how young
they are.

OLIVE: With good booties.

And they're really good.
RUBY: Mmm-hmm.

They're not that good.
HELEN: You're blind.

I want more than I can take

Wow.

I want someone who can dance

Not someone I can talk to

I want someone who can dance

MAN: (ON PA) Let's give it up for our
very own Hillview High cheerleaders!

Come on, let's go.
Let's go.

Break a hip.
Get pregnant.

MARTHA: Okay. Excuse me.
Let's go, girls.

MAN: (ON PA)
Next up, a special treat.

A performance from
the Sun Springs All-Stars.

Move aside, girls, 'cause these
are the real senior cheerleaders.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(LAUGHTER)

MARTHA: Hello. Thank you.
All right.

Positions. Okay. Come on.
Let's go, let's go.

Okay. Music.

BOY: Hey, Danny, you want me
to get her number for you, man?

Five, six,

The monkey chewed tobacco
on the streetcar line

The line broke
The monkey got choked

And they all went to heaven
in a little rowboat

GIRL: Oh, my God.
I can't believe this.

Clap pat, clap slap

Clap pat! Clap your hand

Pat it on your partner's hand
Right hand

Clap pat! Clap your hand

Cross it with your left arm

Pat your partner's left palm

Clap pat! Clap your hand

Pat your partner's right palm

And a right palm again

(MUSIC STOPS)
(ALL GASPING)

(GROANS)

Oh, Helen. She's not okay.
She's not okay.

MARTHA: That's all right.
It's okay.

Get the medic.

Oh. Ooh.

Are you all right? I'm fine.
Everyone's making a fuss.

You sure?
HELEN: Yes.

MARTHA: I told you
we weren't ready.

We made complete fools
of ourselves out there.

(ALL CHATTERING)

Oh, shit!
What?

What?
HELEN: What now?

(SINGING) Three, six,
nine The goose drank wine

The monkey chew tobacco on...

ALICE: That's us!
OLIVE: Oh, no!

MARTHA: Could I see?

Already has
20,000 views.

Well, you gotta
take it down.

I can't take it off.
Well, there has to be a way, right?

I mean, some technical...
No. It's there.

"Old cheerleaders fail."

Oh!

(VIDEO PLAYING)
(GIRLS CHATTERING)

What? What's going on?

What, you posted it?

Yeah.
Why would you do that?

Because it's hilarious.
This is totally going viral.

Wow. (SCOFFS)

What?

What?

I blame myself.

I mean, this is just the sort of
thing that I knew would happen.

Not only has one of our residents
suffered a serious injury,

but now her son is
threatening a lawsuit.

Is there anything that
you ladies care to say?

Then, let's put it to a vote.
No.

All of those
in favor of the ban...

It's unanimous.

You are hereby ordered
to cease all club activities.

Thank you.

Where are you going?
Home.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

RUBY: You think they
talkin' about us?

I don't know.

Not today, Satan.

REPORTER: Local residents from
Sun Springs Retirement Community

have become a viral Internet sensation
following a disastrous performance...

MARTHA: Screw you!

...at a high school pep rally
last Tuesday.

Hey, Mom.

It's time for you to get some rest.
I am resting.

Mother, Susan and I are gonna
be staying here for a while.

No, that won't be necessary.
Yes, I think it is necessary.

What's wrong
with you lately?

I just miss
cheerleading.

(MUFFLED ANNOUNCEMENT ON PA)

(LINE RINGING)

MARTHA: Hey. Are you around?
SHERYL: Hi!

So, you went
to the showcase.

Well, I drove by.
I didn't go inside.

Oh, it's too bad.
We had a real shot at that trophy.

Do you really think so?

Not really.
I'm just trying to be supportive.

Right. Listen,
lam sorry about the pep rally.

It was a dumb idea.
No, it's not your fault.

It was.
You know, I...

I miss the girls, though.

Yeah, me too.

I've never had a lot of girlfriends.
It's quite nice.

I miss you too.
I miss you.

Oh, my goodness.

On the bright side...
Uh-huh.

...we're up to half a million hits.
Look at this.

(SINGING) ...went to
heaven in a little rowboat

Clap pat, clap slap

Clap pat!

I'd like to get my hands on
whoever posted that. Okay?

CHLOE: /can't.

Hey, wait a minute.
What do you mean?

Shh,shh. Listen, listen.
Okay. Huh...

(SONG CONTINUES PLAYING)

CHLOE". on, my God!

The little...

That is Chloe's voice.
It was. Mmm-hmm.

It's Chloe.
That's right.

The cheerleader
did this, okay?

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

SHERYL: Are you sure
this is a good idea?

Yes. We're gonna talk
to her parents,

and I'm sure they're
going to understand.

I don't think her
parents are home.

Oh.

(SOFTLY) This is... Oh!
What a nightmare! Ugh!

Is this what a teenage
party is all about?

SHERYL: Oh, hey.
MARTHA; What?

Hey, Chloe.
Oh, shit!

MARTHA: Did you think
that was funny?

Did you and your friends have a
big laugh at all the old ladies?

I guess
it wasn't enough

just to humiliate us
in front of the school.

You had to share it
with the whole world?

Isn't it enough to be pretty
and smart and popular?

You have to knock
everybody else down, too?

I mean, what?
Wait a minute, now.

No clever retort, huh?
You have nothing to say at all?

(SOBS)

BOTH: Oh.

Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.

Okay. No, it's all...
Hey, hey.

It's all right. It's okay.
There's nothing to cry about, okay?

Don't worry.
Don't cry!

No, I'm so sorry.

I didn't know they were gonna post
it, I promise.

God, you must hate me.

Oh, we don't
hate you.

Actually, we need you.

For what?

Well, we want you
to be our choreographer.

SHERYL: Yeah.
MARTHA: That's right.

We're putting our
squad back together,

and as you may have noticed,
we have a few rough edges.

But we've seen you,
we have.

You're good,
and we need some of that.

But with school
and cheering, I...

I just don't
have the time.

Oh, that's a shame.
Isn't it, Martha? Oh.

Oh, yeah. Yeah,
that's a real shame.

But you know what
would be a real shame?

SH SHERYL What's that?

If Chloe's parents found out
about this totally epic party.

Oh, that'd be
a terrible shame.

You wouldn't.

(CHUCKLES)
We might.

Try us.

(GROANS SOFTLY)

God.

MARTHA:
Good morning, ladies.

What is she doing here?

This is Chloe,
right?

Chloe has something that she
wants to say to everyone.

I was the one
who took the video.

Oh, boy.
Come on. Jeez.

I never meant for it to be posted
online, and I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Glad you got that
off your chest.

I'm sorry, but there's more that
Chloe has to say. Go on, Chloe.

And l would really love
to help coach you guys.

(LAUGHTER)

Why would we let
her coach us?

Because, Olive,
in case you haven't noticed,

we could do with
a little help.

We're not even
a club anymore.

Vicki banned us.
Oh, forget Vicki.

We will practice in secret.
Practice for what?

The showcase is over.

We're gonna find someplace
else to perform, okay?

We humiliated ourselves.
Everybody saw it.

And that's the reason
why we need to do this,

to prove we're not
some joke

and to show the world
what we can really do.

We really can do this
if we do this together.

Huh?

All right, ladies,

I want you to look at your
reflection in the mirror.

Okay?

What are we doing?

Just look at
your reflection, Ruby.

I want you to really,
really look in that mirror

and take in yourselves,
right? Look closely.

We're all so
self-conscious,

and we're all so worried about
what everyone else is thinking,

when of course the only thing
that really matters

is what we think
of ourselves.

Really, I want you
to take yourself in.

Now, on the count of three,

I want you to say one thing
you like about yourselves.

Oh, God.

You can't
be serious.

My tits!

Not yet, not yet.

Let's wait until
the count of three.

What if you don't
like anything?

MARTHA: What do you mean?
Then you're not looking hard enough.

You just have to find what's
great about yourselves, okay?

All right. Ready?

(EXHALES) Look.

Now, one...

Two... Three!

(ALL SHOUTING, LAUGHING)

HELEN: My hair.

So beautiful.
Thank you.

My hands.
And?

Ooh.
My hands.

My smile.

MARTHA: Look at that
smile. Okay.

Damn it.
And? No.

Okay, my wrist.

Okay.

They take blood
really good.

Hound another
good feature of yours.

Well...
MARTHA: But what about me?

What's good about me?
There's not one thing.

Oh, come on.

MARTHA: All right, let's work!
Let's go! Come on, Chloe.

Ah. A competition?
Mmm-hmm.

This is a really big deal.
People come from all over to compete.

You guys can't compete
next to real cheerleaders.

Yes, we can.

The oldest category is 18 plus.
Uh-huh.

Yeah. So what? We're 18 plus.

Yeah.
Eighteen plus 50.

Oh, look.
What?

It's on in three weeks.

Well, that's okay,
because Chloe's gonna help us.

Right, Chloe?
No! No.

You guys didn't say anything
about a competition.

Do you know how much
training that involves?

People train for a
year, not three weeks.

Okay.

What do you think?

I say screw it.
Let's sign up.

Oh, my God.
Yes.

Yes!
Come on.

Let's just start with our feet a
little wider than shoulder-width,

like so.

And we're just gonna start with
some really easy movements.

So bring your left
arm like this. Left.

Good. Down right,
and back up left.

Right, left.

Left, right,
let's get dirty!

Yes! Sexy!

Whoo!

(SINGING) I'm a rebel
just for kicks, now

I've been feeling it since
1966, now

Might be over now

But I feel it Still

Two, three...

Did you try
to hit me?

You make mash-ups, right?
Yeah, yeah, I can.

Could you maybe cut
something together for us?

Yeah, for sure. Oh, yes!
Thank you so much.

Leave it with a baby
sitter, mama...

Two, three,
and four, five.

Move it! Come on,
ladies, keep up!

Move it, Alice!

Punch,punch.
One, two, three.

Punch,punch.
One, two, three, punch.

Might've had your fill,
but you feel it still

Just let me change
out of this dance stuff.

Maybe you could just leave it on.
(CHUCKLES)

I always wanted
to date a cheerleader.

Rah-rah-rah.

(SINGING)
We could fight a war for peace

I'm a rebel
just for kicks, now

Give in to that easy living

Goodbye to my hopes
and dreams

Feel that, right?

We could wait
Until the walls come down

CHLOE: Super, super low.
Lower.

Oh, my God!
(EXCITED CHATTER)

Evelyn! What?

PAIGE:
Five, six, seven, eight.

What's going on with you?
Where have you been?

Sorry, it's been
really crazy, so I...

Well, get your
shit together.

You miss one more practice,
and we're voting you off the squad.

Are you okay? You look like shit.
No, I'm fine.

Thank you. No,
I haven't been sleeping well. I'm fine.

You're so skinny.
Let's get started, okay?

Is that new?

Thought we could use
a little bit more bass.

Ah. You've shown a lot of interest
lately, haven't you?

(SINGING) I'm a rebel
just for kicks, now

I been feeling it since
1966, now

Might be over now,
but I feel it still

I'm a rebel
just for kicks now

Let me kick it
like it's 1986, now

Might be over now,
but I feel it still

Might've had your fill
But I feel it still

Do you think you're
irreplaceable?

I like to think I bring a
certain dignity to the position.

Do you think that I would
hesitate to take your little badge

and take your little cards
and give 'em to Dorris?

Dorris is a trainee.
She doesn't have the experience.

They're up to something,
I know it.

And either you are
too stupid to find it out,

or you're just
not even tryin'.

lam definitely tryin'.

Well, then find out what they're
plannin' and shut it down.

Or I'll shut you down.

DORRIS: Yeah.
(DOOR CLOSES)

Backstabber.

MARTHA: So, Chloe,
I've been working on an idea,

something that, I don't know,
would make us stand out, you know?

Trust me,
you guys are gonna stand out.

Yeah, but I do want you to bear with
me, all right?

You can do it.
Okay.

Okay, I'm down.

Okay. All right.
Show us, then.

I'm excited to see it.

Mmm. Oh!

Here we are! Okay.

Are you ready for the new move?
All right.

EVELYN: New move?

Oh, I didn't tell you?

Right? What do you think? Oh.

You want to try it or not?
ALL: Yeah!

I knew you would.
I want to see it.

I'm not surprised.

That's nice.
There was something about“

Maybe we should have those
elbows stick out wider.

And... One!

(SINGING)
I'm coming out

I want the world to know

It's sexual.

Walk, walk, walk, walk.

Now, that was fantastic.

This is good, right?

You're strong.
That's it. Let's do it.

Walk, walk. No, no.
That was not walk.

No, we got it.
We're gonna be fine.

Okay, ready,
and walk, walk, walk.

Let's do it one
more time.

Can you take over, Chloe?
CHLOE: Yeah, yeah, of course.

Okay, that's good. Oh, my God!

CHLOE: Oh, yeah.
I like this move.

Let's get it.
Left foot forward.

(MARTHA RETCHING)

Okay, ladies,
let's breathe in,

plié, and bring
your arms up.

And exhale
and go all the way down.

(MARTHA GROANS) OW!

CHLOE: Let's hang there
for a minute,

and slowly roll up.

Feel your spine.

Yeah.
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

Roll your shoulders back.
(CAR LOCK CHIMES)

Nice.

Excuse me.
Could I get a word, please?

Where's Helen?

I'm taking her
out of this club.

It's obvious she can't
handle the peer pressure.

What are you talking
about, peer pressure?

That's absurd. And look at
me when you're talking to me.

Not only do you
break her ankle,

now you want to publicly
humiliate her again

with this stupid dance
competition.

No, Helen is a really big
part of this team.

You can't just take her
out of the competition.

Step back and let the adults
talk, okay?

I don't need some little
slut telling me what to do.

What?
What did you just call her?

TOM: Now, that was...
No, seriously.

What did you
just call her?

That was out of line.
I apologize... Say it again.

Please, could you, ma'am...
I dare you. What did you call her?

Ma'am, get your hand out of my face.
Don't tell me what to do!

(STAMMERING)
Okay, I'm leaving.

I'll go.

(CAR LOCK CHIMES)

(LAUGHTER)

What?

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING) Because your
good girl's gonna go bad

Ruby!

I'm gonna be the swingin'est
swinger you've ever had

If you like 'em painted up
Powdered up

Then you ought to be glad

Cause your good girl's
gonna go bad

CHLOE: Yeah!

All right!

I'll even learn to like
the taste of whiskey

I'd like to propose
a toast to Helen.

To Helen!
To Helen!

PHYLLIS: To Helen.
May she outlive her children.

Hear, hear!
Yes!

Glad I didn't have any.

CHLOE: Yes!
PHYLLIS: That's good.

CHLOE: Wow!
EVELYN: Yeah!

Oh. Um...

Excuse me for a minute,
but I left a little something on lane 20.

Ooh.

OLIVE: She said "a little
something." RUBY: Be careful, baby.

He's kinda cute, don't you think?
Go, Alice!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

OLIVE: Whoo!

Yeah!

Can you believe
she's the same woman

who wasn't allowed
to join the club?

She should've killed that
husband years ago.

(EXCLAIMS)

MARTHA: Joy!
Kill the husband.

Sheryl, that was so badass of you
to stick up for me back there.

Aw.

You're one of us now.

Except with
higher boobies.

PHYLLIS: To higher boobies!
OLIVE: Higher boobies!

CHLOE: And she scores.
PHYLLIS: Grab for the joy.

It is so great to
see you so happy.

I think maybe more alcohol
in my life or something.

OLIVE: We all love you.

Here we just love.
PHYLLIS: Yeah!

I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.

SHERYL: Okay. You want me
to come with you?

(GROANS)

Why didn't you tell me?
Why would I?

Because you tell your friends when
you've got cancer, for Christ's sake.

Anyway...

The doctor says
you'll be out tomorrow.

And once they drain away all the
fluid, you'll be feeling fine,

and that's good because the
competition's in three days.

I'm not going.
Oh, yes, you are.

The hell you're not.

No, you don't
even need me.

Yes, of course we need you.

You're the leader.

And I'm not gonna let
you quit just like that.

You are coming to the competition
if I have to drag you there myself.

I'm dying.

Well,

you were dying yesterday,
and you're gonna be dying next week.

And in the meantime,

you should be dancing
your ass off.

Isn't that what this
was all about?

I'm scared.

I'm...

I'm scared.
I know, I know.

I'm sorry.

I know you're scared,
of course.

MARTHA: I'm so scared.

Sometimes you just have to
look that shit in the face

and tell it to
go to hell.

(LAUGHS)

Thank you.
Okay.

Thank you

for being my friend.

Your feet are cold.
I know.

I don't think
she's coming.

We're gonna be late.

Well, maybe we
should just go on...

No! Ruby, you sit
your ass down.

Nobody's going anywhere
without Martha.

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

It's okay.
(HORN HONKING)

RUBY: At last!
ALICE; All right!

See?

OLIVE: I see her.
Oh, I know.

Girl, what took you so long?
MARTHA: I know, I know.

Well, everybody's here.
No. We got a stop to make.

Okay? We gotta get Helen.

(STAMMERING)

I can't do this. Yes, you can.
You're gonna be fine.

And, Chloe, why don't you sit
in the front with Ben, okay?

All right.
All right.

Sure.
Do you want some free advice?

You cannot wait for Chloe
to notice you, okay?

What? I'm not...
Yeah. No, no.

A girl like that,
she gets a lot of attention.

And you have to
be reckless, right?

What does that mean?
It means life is short

and make your
move already, okay?

(SNIFFLES)

COMMENT AT OR:
Patterson, back to throw.

Across the middle,
caught by Bishop!

What?
Shit, Tom is here.

Shit. Okay, we need
a distraction.

I mean...
Oh, God.

I love being a cheerleader Yeah.

COMMENTATOR: At the 35, 30-yard line...

(CAR ALARM BLARES)

Is that our car?

Son of a...

What are you doing here?

It's a rescue mission.

No, but...

Now be quiet.
This way. Come on.

Jesus.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Security. Chief Carl.
Carl, you're not gonna believe this shit.

Somebody threw a rook
into my goddamn window!

Any idea
who might've done it?

The gang she's always
hanging around with?

ALICE: Watch that tree.
MARTHA: No, no, wait a minute.

Call Vicki.

Sweetie.
She's not in there.

What?

OLIVE: Door closing!
Okay!

Go, go!
CHLOE: Hurry, Sheryl!

There we go.
Praise Jesus!

MARTHA: Come on. Come on, Ben.
Go! Let's go!

You gotta be kidding me.

Mother, get out
of the van now.

(ALL CHEERING)

SHERYL: Who's the little slut now?
PHYLLIS: Drive!

(ALL CHEERING)

Please stop.

And, Dorris, get out.
Please get out.

Please get out, out.
Out, out.

Okay, let's go, Carl. Let's go.
All right, hang on.

You in?
I'm set.

Oh, there they are!

Cut 'em off! Cut 'em off! Okay.

(VICKI STAMMERING)

Turn off the engine
and step out of the vehicle.

Drive! Drive!

CHLOE: Go, Ben!
OLIVE: Go!

Oh, my God.
Where are they goin'?

Just follow 'em.
Follow 'em? Where?

Just follow them.
Just turn around.

Today, Carl.

Oh.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Well, can you turn this thing on?
The siren...

Okay, all right.
(SIREN BLARING)

Good.

Why are we chasin' them again?
Oh, for pity's sake.

They are an unofficial club.

Go faster!
It does not go any faster.

Floor it.
It's floored!

Well, this was
a ridiculous purchase,

and I don't know
why you didn't express that

at the time the check
was being written!

(HORN HONKING)

(HORN HONKING)

(TIRES SCREECH)

Oh.

MAN; Hi, Vicki!

VICKI: Where are

Headed to the cheerleading
competition. Wanna go?

Is that a serious
question, David?

And what do you think
you're doin'?

I'm wanna see what's gonna happen.

CARL: I'm goin'

CARL: lam goin'.

Don't worry. Here, you got it?

SHERYL: I got it.
MARTHA: Thank you.

CHLOE: Just breathe,

Yes. Air.

PHYLLIS: Yeah.
CHLOE: You've just gotta breathe.

Oh, shit.

MAN: (ON PA)
For the very first time,

all the way from
Jacksonville, Florida.

What are you doing here?
I thought you quit.

We came to cheer.

Are you serious?

They're competing?
Yeah. We are.

Okay.

Pathetic.

GIRL: Bye-bye.

GIRL 2: Good luck.

Hey.

Hey. What'd she mean
about you quitting?

Oh, I was just too busy, you
know, with school and everything.

I couldn't do both.
Oh, honey, I'm sorry.

We didn't want you quitting for us.
No, no, no. l wanted to.

I've never had
a grandma before,

and now it's like
I have eight.

Aw!

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Your group is too
old to compete.

The entry form says there's
an 18-and-over category,

and we're over 18.

This competition is for young women only.
What's goin' on here?

(GASPS) Oh, my God! Chief Carl.

Well, she's saying
that we can't compete.

You didn't mention your
age on the application.

Chief Carl,
special branch division.

You're in express violation
of both state and federal law,

statute 42, section 8,
verse 3.

If you don't let
these women compete,

I'm gonna have to haul your
ass down to the station

and throw the book at you
for age discrimination.

Now, we can do this the easy way
or we can do it the hard way.

And just for the record,
I prefer the hard way.

You're on
in ten minutes.

My God, that was amazing.
I can't believe they fell for it.

I just made that whole
thing up right there.

Oh, you did, didn't you?
Come on, let's go.

MARTHA: Oh, my God.
What took you so long?

Everybody's freaking out.
I feel sick.

My stupid dickhead husband was right.
I can't do this.

You're not going anywhere.
No,no,no.

All right, ladies, huddle up. Come on.
MARTHA: Okay, let's huddle.

Come on.
Okay.

Guys, don't worry
about the audience.

Just follow each other
like we practiced, okay?

We got this.

Martha, anything
you'd like to add?

(MARTHA SIGHS)

I know I told you
we could do this.

But the truth is,
I have no idea

what's gonna
happen out there.

Maybe we'll make fools
of ourselves, right?

(SIGHS) But I do
know one thing.

There's no one I'd rather go
out there with than you ladies.

I love you.
I love you all. Okay?

Now I know you're scared. Whoo.

I'm scared too.
Scared?

But, you know, sometimes you just
have to look that shit in the face

and tell it to
go to hell.
