Original subtitles

- Two blushing pilgrims,

ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a-

- Sweet spiral.

(gentle music)

- [Lucas] Juliet?

- Sorry, I lost focus.

Where are we?

- We're rehearsing a scene from Romeo and Juliet.

Need I remind you it's worth 30% of our grade?

- No need.

Our director's been on my back to run lines all week.

(gentle music continues)

- Shotgun formation, fake handoff, roll right.

Ow!

I'm gonna need that skin back.

Oh, and speaking of pain,

you're sure hooking me up to this microwave is safe?

- Actually, it's called an electroencephalograph,

aka an EEG.

It's used to record the overall electrical activity

of the brain.

And yes, it's safe.

- So why am I the one hooked up?

- 'Cause it's my project.

- Let me give you a hand.

- Ow.

(electricity crackling)

- Lucas, are you all right?

Vaughn, are you all right?

- I'm fine, but,

why'd you call me Lucas?

I'm Vaughn.

- And why did you call me Vaughn?

I'm Lucas.

(upbeat rock music)

- Okay, so my mom drops me at this boarding school,

and I'm thinking it's like all the other places I've gone.

Students.

(upbeat rock music continues)

Teachers, principal.

You know, like normal schools.

But it's not.

Weird stuff happens here.

Really weird stuff.

And what's this guy doing here?

Something's going on and someone's behind it,

and we're gonna get to the bottom of it.

- There's nothing wrong at Blake Holsey High.

(person screaming)

- I don't get it.

How could Lucas' brainwaves

get transferred into my body?

- Well, in the normal world, they couldn't, Lucas.

I mean...

Vaughn.

- Something caused an electronic exchange

of our brain activity.

Now, I'm guessing it might be the proximity

of the massively powerful recurring phenomenon,

aka the black hole.

- Well, that's certainly possible,

but beyond the realm of provable.

- Hello, Lucas here in Vaughn's Body.

- So, what do we do?

- [Professor Zachary] Well,

we may be able to understand what happened

by recreating the conditions at the moment of the switch.

- And switch us back?

- Right after we fix the EEG.

The circuit board was damaged.

- Cool with me, check out these pipes.

- Check out the nice watch.

It's also a calculator.

- Hey, pretty boy,

it's time for football practice.

- I gotta play football,

sweet!

Give me the playbook.

Vaughn, just because you have my body

doesn't mean you know how to use it.

No offense, but I've seen you throw.

Not pretty.

- Chillax, man.

With my brain and your brawn,

we can't miss.

- Chillax?

I never say that.

- Easy Doctor Science, leave my boy alone.

He's late for practice.

- I'll be fine.

Just give me the playbook.

- Dude, let's rock!

(football plater laughing)

(gentle jazz music)

- Let's rock!

(gentle jazz music continues)

- Then have my lips the sin that they have took.

- You better be more convincing for drama class.

- Maybe if I had a more supportive director.

Kidding.

Besides, who cares if I stink

in front of you, Lucas and the drama teacher?

- And Principal Durst.

- What?

- Yeah, Principal Durst is coming to watch.

She loves Romeo and Juliet.

Must be all the kissing.

- Do I really have to kiss Lucas in this scene?

- Think about it this way,

you're not kissing Lucas,

you're kissing Romeo.

Second, it's not kissing,

it's acting.

(gentle music)

- Lucas' asthma.

(Lucas' body hyperventilates)

Press down metal canister,

breathe in deeply and slowly

through your mouth.

Cool, that was so easy to read.

Hey, books.

- Hey, Vaughn.

- Oh, hey, Madison.

- That better?

- Yeah, much.

- Before I forget,

I've got something special for you.

- Okay.

Hey, is this some kind of a joke?

- No, it's an invitation to a party.

But if you think the social event of the year

is gonna be a joke.

- [Football Player] Pearson, let's go!

(upbeat rock music)

(chips crunching)

(upbeat rock music continues)

(players grunting)

- Yeah!

(whistle blowing)

Come on, Pearson.

This is football, not science club!

- Okay, but next time,

can I please get a warning before you decapitate me?

- Here's your warning.

Next time, I'm gonna decapitate you,

and then I'm gonna knock your head off!

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- [Lucas' Dad] I did it,

I caught Grumpy!

- Who are you and what's a grumpy?

- Oh, good one, son.

I couldn't believe it at first myself.

- Dad.

- You should have seen it.

That fly we made, worked like a charm.

Old Grumpy never stood a chance.

How many times did Grumpy get away from us last summer?

- Grumpy is a fish.

- Five, six?

- [Vaughn In Lucas' Body] I lost track.

- I took a ton of pictures before I threw him back.

I'll send them to you.

Maybe we'll even see him again

when we go to the lake this summer,

assuming he hasn't smartened up enough

not to get caught again.

- Yeah, great.

- Vaughn, is that really you inside there?

- Dad, I gotta go.

- Are you okay, Lucas?

You sound different.

- Yeah, fine. I'll call you back later.

- [Lucas' Dad] Okay.

Love you, son.

- Right back at you, Dad.

- Z just told me.

If it's true, what's Vaughn's middle name?

- Jody.

- And when's your birthday?

- June 17th.

- What is up with you and Madison?

- None of your business.

- Okay, final question.

Something Lucas couldn't possibly know.

It's third and long,

you're on your own 30 yard line.

What do you do?

- Fake handoff, reverse wide, throw long.

- It is true.

Your middle name is Jody?

- Hey, Lucas, you busy?

- Say yes, Lucas, trust me.

- Come on, we can squeeze in one more rehearsal.

- So, he didn't tell you guys did he?

- Tell us what?

- Over to you, Vaughn!

- [Corinne] Vaughn?

- Two, wide, reverse on three!

Or is it?

(whistle blowing)

- Pearson, what are you doing?

- Sorry, coach.

I'm having trouble with the new play,

just gimme a second.

- Well, have trouble on your own time.

Go hit the showers,

and study your playbook.

The rest of you are doing laps,

courtesy of Mr. Pearson here.

- Come on, Lucas, concentrate.

(gentle music)

I know what this is.

- Then move not while my prayers effect I take,

thus from my lips by yours,

my sin is purged.

You know, this is pretty well written.

I look terrible.

(Vaughn's body laughing)

How many times did we get sacked?

- Oh.

I stopped counting after double digits.

- Ouch.

What?

- Vaughn, you have dyslexia, don't you?

- Yeah, I do.

The wiring of my brain for things like reading

is different than most people.

- You could've told me when we switched.

- I didn't think of it.

- Out on the football field,

everybody thought I was slacking.

But I was really trying.

I just couldn't learn the new play.

- It took me a long time to discipline myself

to focus when I get new things thrown at me.

- But you learn to, you beat it.

- I manage it.

That's why I have to put a lot of notes in my playbook.

It's like a study guide.

I have to do the same thing with schoolwork.

Most people don't notice.

- Well, don't worry man.

Your secret's safe.

- It's not a secret.

I just don't wanna make a big deal of it with my friends.

I'm not ashamed I'm dyslexic.

- It's a big thing to deal with.

- So is asthma.

- What did you do to my books?

- It's been great to be able to read like you.

- So that's what you've been doing all day?

Reading?

- Yeah.

Your dad called.

He caught Grumpy.

- He did?

Well, I gotta call him back.

Oh, wait.

Can't.

I'm you.

- [Vaughn In Lucas' Body] You and your dad go fishing a lot?

- Yeah.

We go every summer.

- Must be nice.

- Listen,

I think it's time we figure out how to get back.

Tell me you're having some luck with that thing?

- Not yet, looks like a problem with the circuit board.

- Professor Z's trying to hunt one down.

- Well, the good news is I found a German company

that can make the replacement circuit board.

- [Vaughn In Lucas' Body] And the bad news?

- It'll take three months to get here.

- Three months?!

- We'll have to fix it ourselves.

- Oh, Romeo, Romeo.

Where for art thou, Romeo?

Oh, there's Romeo

and Juliet.

Corrine, shouldn't you direct them to class?

It's almost time for their scene.

- Right.

- Oh, in my younger days,

I once played Juliet

to the most dashing Romeo.

Mm, Marvin Lipchitz.

I wonder where he is now.

I should Google him.

Oh, Vaughn, I almost forgot.

Your father called.

He needs to see you at home.

I'll see you anon.

- I think in order to keep up appearances,

Corrine, Vaughn and I should go to drama class.

- [Professor Zachary] Excellent thinking, Josie.

Principal Durst has her heart set on this performance.

- What?

I always wear lip gloss.

W-when I'm acting.

- I don't really have to go over to Victor Pearson's house,

do I?

- Just try to act normal.

- Normal left the building a long time ago.

Dad?

This is unbelievable.

(eerie music)

(Lucas in Vaughn's body gasps)

(eerie music continues)

Wow.

- [Computer] Paradigm two.

Planned, submitted and approved.

19 February.

Phase one construction completed.

20 July.

Phase two construction commenced.

11 August.

Fiber network installation

on schedule. - Vaughn.

- [Computer] Security and communication system

installation on schedule.

Power grid installation on-

- You're in my chair.

- (gasps) Oh, yes, sir.

Father, dad.

Daddy?

- [Computer] Online date-

(computer powering down)

- Are you all right, Vaughn?

Seem a little more confused than usual.

- Yeah, no, I-I'm chilling.

Chillin', fine, man.

- Good.

Now, sign these.

- What are they?

- [Vaughn's Dad] You don't remember?

We spoke of them at great length.

- Oh, okay.

Of course I remember.

It's just a little joke, ha.

- Good one.

Thank you.

You can go back to school now.

- Dad?

I was, uh...

I was thinking,

maybe sometime,

we go fishing?

- Fishing?

You know what son, that sounds like a good idea.

Let me get back to you on it.

- There's a faulty relay.

The board itself is fried.

- You need to make a Goodie board.

- A hootie board?

- A homemade circuit board,

named after Tom Goodie,

who posted the instructions on the internet.

It's pretty standard stuff actually.

We have everything we need right here.

(upbeat rock music)

Step one, photo copy the pattern

from the bottom of the old circuit board.

Next, we need material for the new circuit board.

Something that doesn't conduct electricity.

This plastic notebook cover, for instance.

We glue aluminum foil to the notebook cover,

and then we iron the photo copy onto the foil.

The heat of the iron melts the printing

from the photocopy onto the board.

Now, we soak and remove the paper.

The toner is transferred to the foil.

We put this into a plastic tray of ferric chloride.

This is nasty, dangerous stuff.

It's an acid that eats away the parts of the foil

that don't have toner on it,

so rubber gloves and goggles are a must.

When it's done, we're left with a homemade circuit board.

Now all we do is

move the parts off the toasted circuit board to this one

and wire it up to EEG machine.

- Marshall, I think you just aced your midterms.

- Action.

- O, then, dear saint,

let lips do what hands do.

They pray.

Grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

- Saints do not move,

though grant for prayers' sake.

- Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.

Thus from my lips,

by yours,

my sin is purged.

(romantic music)

- Bravo.

Bravo.

That was a very good kiss.

Thank you.

- Whoa.

What just happened there?

That was so not acting.

- Josie, Corrine, Lucas.

Science room, stat.

(Principle Durst sobbing)

Lucas.

- That was so good.

It was so very good.

- I've checked the machine,

it's perfectly safe.

Now, we need to duplicate the conditions

that led to the brainwave switch,

and hope the results are identical,

but in reverse.

- I gotta tell you,

it wasn't as good being you as I thought it would be.

- And it wasn't as bad being you

as I thought it would be.

- Ready?

- Everyone, keep well clear.

- Let's do it.

(electricity crackles)

(Lucas gasps)

(uplifting music)

- [Both] Well?

- [Lucas And Vaughn] We're back!

(uplifting music continues)

- Best part about being you,

no question,

being popular.

You go.

- Let's see, best part about being you,

reading.

Oh, and, kissing Josie was okay.

- Wait, I got my first kiss?

How was I?

- Well, I think she likes you.

- You mean she likes you.

You're the one she kissed.

- Yes, but those were your lips doing the work.

- They were, weren't they?

Hey, what's with the papers your dad asks you to sign?

- Oh, um...

You know, I'm not really sure either,

he gets me to sign 'em every couple months.

Something about my mom's estate.

All right, time to air it out, Lucas.

- What?

- [Vaughn] Go long.

(bright music)

- Corrine?

You were right.

- I know.

About what?

- The Romeo and Juliet scene.

It wasn't just acting, it was...

It was a real kiss.

- I knew it.

But, who did you really kiss?

Vaughn or Lucas?

(uplifting music continues)

- I think...

Both?

(upbeat rock music)
