put us in the number one spot.

As our head choreographer,
46
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:14,635
I am so happy to announce
that today we will,
47
00:02:14,718 --> 00:02:18,472
at last, begin rehearsing
one of the most showstopping,
48
00:02:18,555 --> 00:02:22,267
iconic, and bar-raising
numbers of the entire show.

What?
52
00:02:29,858 --> 00:02:32,903
Look, I know I asked Gina
to be my co-choreographer,
53
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:34,530
but I kinda meant it like,
54
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:38,367
"I'm the choreographer
and she's the co-choreographer."
55
00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:40,369
Like how there's a pilot and a co-pilot.
56
00:02:40,452 --> 00:02:42,704
He called me his "co-pilot"?
57
00:02:44,206 --> 00:02:47,501
When I finally agreed
to being a co-choreographer,
58
00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:49,211
I thought that meant we'd be equals.
59
00:02:49,962 --> 00:02:51,380
You know, and by equal, I mean,
60
00:02:51,463 --> 00:02:55,425
I would choreograph most of the show
and he'd, I don't know, clap.

Before we begin,
62
00:02:58,679 --> 00:03:02,307
I'm going to tell you
a little story about hospitality.
63
00:03:02,391 --> 00:03:04,893
-Maybe we should... Okay.
-Once when I was a little girl,
64
00:03:04,977 --> 00:03:07,896
my mom and I heard
a clatter come from the kitchen.
65
00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:09,648
We thought it was a burglar.
66
00:03:09,731 --> 00:03:13,026
So my mom ran over, hog-tied the man,
and promptly called the police.
67
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:14,111
(GASPS)
68
00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:16,697
As we waited for the cops to come,
69
00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:21,493
I watched my mother place a bowl
of iced tea next to his face.
70
00:03:21,577 --> 00:03:23,662
"Because," she said,
71
00:03:23,745 --> 00:03:27,541
"until the police come and get him,
he's still our guest."
72
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:31,295
So, did he, like, get arrested or...
73
00:03:31,378 --> 00:03:33,463
No. Turns out, it wasn't a burglar at all,
74
00:03:33,547 --> 00:03:35,632
just a repairman
who entered the wrong unit.
75
00:03:35,716 --> 00:03:38,093
But the point remains the same.
76
00:03:38,177 --> 00:03:39,761
Just like our intruder,
77
00:03:39,845 --> 00:03:45,017
we need to make Belle
and our entire audience feel welcome.
78
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:49,021

Carlos and Gina, take it away.

00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:06,371
my vision to make this dance
really soar is to stage...
84
00:04:06,455 --> 00:04:11,710
wait for it, a Cancan-style dance
that features a feather-dusting spectacle.
85
00:04:11,793 --> 00:04:14,171

go a little something like...

89
00:04:21,303 --> 00:04:24,014
Interesting. I had a different path
90
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:27,768
that's a little more
elevated and less basic.
91
00:04:27,851 --> 00:04:30,854
Think. A noir-inspired performance
92
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:34,483
that Lumiere guides
our audience through the entire time.
93
00:04:34,566 --> 00:04:36,985
M'kay. But I actually
spent a month in France once,
94
00:04:37,069 --> 00:04:39,947
so I kinda know this dance inside out.
95
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:43,283
And I choreographed all three
of my sister's quinceañera dances,
96

despite not getting one for myself,
97
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:48,205

with a salad fork, okay?

Well, I guess it'd almost be dinner time,

to over-exert our voices.

who was auditioning for Young Elsa.

331
00:16:03,797 --> 00:16:07,259
and then she threw up
all over my sheet music.

But I realized in that moment
that I was more worried

about Young Elsa than the audition.
336
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:24,943
And I looked down, and the only words
337
00:16:25,027 --> 00:16:30,073
that were still visible
on my music were "Let It Go."

for a new drama teacher,

00:17:01,730 --> 00:17:05,817
Caswell, you're not cavorting
with the other show people.
343
00:17:05,901 --> 00:17:07,611
Not really in a cavorting mood.
344
00:17:08,612 --> 00:17:10,030
Something you wanna talk about?
345
00:17:10,906 --> 00:17:12,157
No.
346
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,372
Do you know where the finest place
in the world is to study robotics?
347
00:17:19,414 --> 00:17:20,832
Stark Industries?
348
00:17:20,916 --> 00:17:24,837
Caltech. I applied four and a half times.
Never made the cut.
349
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,421
A half?
350
00:17:26,505 --> 00:17:32,052
The point is, it was all I ever wanted,
all my dad ever wanted for me too.
351
00:17:34,972 --> 00:17:36,557
I guess you heard about Duke.
352
00:17:37,474 --> 00:17:40,352
Yeah, I might have heard
something in the counselor's office.
353
00:17:41,061 --> 00:17:45,274
EJ, you are a top student
from a successful family,
354
00:17:45,357 --> 00:17:48,986
and a three-season varsity athlete.
You check all the boxes.
355
00:17:49,653 --> 00:17:50,821
That's not enough?
356
00:17:51,572 --> 00:17:54,575
A lot of people check
a lot of boxes these days.
357
00:17:57,452 --> 00:17:59,162
I read your essay.
358
00:17:59,246 --> 00:18:03,542
It was strong,
but it was a little surface.
359
00:18:03,625 --> 00:18:06,420
I'm not sure that Duke
knew what your story was.
360
00:18:08,297 --> 00:18:09,548
Apparently, neither do I.
361
00:18:11,675 --> 00:18:15,387
Well, son, you are welcome to hang out
in the AV club whenever you want,
362
00:18:15,470 --> 00:18:18,724
telling stories is all we do there.
363
00:18:19,725 --> 00:18:20,934
It's up to you though.
364
00:18:23,395 --> 00:18:24,646
Hey, Mister M.
365
00:18:28,275 --> 00:18:30,569
Do you still think about Caltech?
366
00:18:34,198 --> 00:18:36,241
Not as much anymore.
367
00:18:44,833 --> 00:18:47,002
How many hours have we been here?
368
00:18:47,085 --> 00:18:48,212
All of them.
369
00:18:49,171 --> 00:18:50,881
Anyone wanna play Charades again?
370
00:18:51,298 --> 00:18:52,382
(ALL GROANING)
371
00:18:53,383 --> 00:18:55,385
Sounds like no.
372
00:18:55,469 --> 00:18:58,222
You guys,
if we eventually run out of food,
373
00:18:58,305 --> 00:18:59,973
I just wanna say, you can eat me first.
374
00:19:00,057 --> 00:19:03,101
-SEB: Dude...
-I probably taste like pizza.
375
00:19:03,185 --> 00:19:04,686
Hey, whose phone charger is this?
376
00:19:04,770 --> 00:19:07,648
I'm at 6%. You wanna fight me for it?
377
00:19:07,731 --> 00:19:09,775
You guys, this cabin fever isn't good.
378
00:19:10,317 --> 00:19:12,027
What would Miss Jenn do right now?
379
00:19:12,110 --> 00:19:13,987
I wanna say hog-tie a stranger.
380
00:19:14,071 --> 00:19:16,657
-Yep. Probably.
-Where are our choreographers?
381
00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:18,909
Shouldn't we be rehearsing a song?
382
00:19:18,992 --> 00:19:23,789
I wanna believe they're quietly working
out their differences somewhere.
383
00:19:23,872 --> 00:19:25,582
Have you met Carlos?
384
00:19:25,666 --> 00:19:27,584
Maybe they're already laughing about it.
385
00:19:28,877 --> 00:19:31,755
I'm not yelling! I'm saying, with passion,
386
00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:35,509
that the song is called Be Our Guest,
not Be Babette the Feather Duster's Guest.
387
00:19:35,592 --> 00:19:38,303
Why don't you just choreograph
the whole show yourself,
388
00:19:38,387 --> 00:19:39,930
and we'll call it a day?
389
00:19:40,013 --> 00:19:42,641
(SIGHS) Stop! That's not what I'm saying!
390
00:19:42,724 --> 00:19:44,059
I need you!
391
00:19:44,852 --> 00:19:49,690
Do you know how freaked out I am to be
even appearing on stage this semester?
392
00:19:50,691 --> 00:19:53,527
Nobody outside of my family, and Seb,
393
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:56,655
and my Barbies
has ever seen me sing and dance.
394
00:19:56,738 --> 00:19:58,532
I'm a behind-the-scenes guy.
395
00:19:58,615 --> 00:20:00,784
You wouldn't understand that,
you're in the scene.
396
00:20:00,868 --> 00:20:02,578
No, I'm a change-of-scene.
397
00:20:02,661 --> 00:20:04,580
I'm living in a house I don't own,
398
00:20:04,663 --> 00:20:06,415
playing a supporting role I didn't want,
399
00:20:06,498 --> 00:20:11,503
and I'm still just trying to figure out
who I wanna be at this school.
400
00:20:11,587 --> 00:20:14,047
And I'm sorry
but you wouldn't understand that.
401
00:20:14,131 --> 00:20:15,757
You think I don't know what it's like
402
00:20:15,841 --> 00:20:18,010
to try and figure out
who I'm supposed to be?
403
00:20:18,093 --> 00:20:19,303
Look around you, Gina.
404
00:20:19,386 --> 00:20:21,513
There's not, like,
a ton of me in this school.
405
00:20:24,892 --> 00:20:27,978
Do you have any idea how excited I was
406
00:20:28,061 --> 00:20:32,900
to meet someone who loves dance as much
as I do? And I'm already blowing it.
407
00:20:34,193 --> 00:20:35,694
Carlos, I didn't mean...
408
00:20:37,821 --> 00:20:41,742
Look, it's just a really confusing time,
and it's not about you.
409
00:20:44,203 --> 00:20:48,916
So, we can do the dance however
it makes you comfortable. I mean it.
410
00:20:49,708 --> 00:20:51,793
Okay. But who?
411
00:20:51,877 --> 00:20:52,961
What?
412
00:20:53,587 --> 00:20:55,923
If it's not about me,
then who is it about?
413
00:20:56,006 --> 00:20:58,091
I didn't say it was a who.
414
00:20:58,175 --> 00:21:00,010
You didn't say it wasn't.
415
00:21:00,511 --> 00:21:01,637
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
416
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,056
It doesn't matter.
417
00:21:05,224 --> 00:21:06,642
Okay.
418
00:21:06,725 --> 00:21:08,519
But you do matter.
419
00:21:08,602 --> 00:21:10,312
Try to remember that, okay?
420
00:21:11,939 --> 00:21:13,482
(CHUCKLES) I'll try.
421
00:21:15,984 --> 00:21:18,654
-It's nice to feel quiet for a second.
-Mmm.
422
00:21:18,737 --> 00:21:19,738
HOWIE: Excuse me!
423
00:21:20,948 --> 00:21:23,742
Any idea where Kourtney Greene might be?

(SNIFFING)
425
00:21:27,454 --> 00:21:29,039
Wait, do you guys smell that?
426
00:21:29,122 --> 00:21:31,416
-Yeah, sorry.
-ASHLYN AND KOURTNEY: Ugh!
427
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:34,503
No, no, it's my
Grandpa Noah's pizza recipe.
428
00:21:34,586 --> 00:21:37,089
Dude, don't you even
joke about that, okay?
429
00:21:37,172 --> 00:21:39,091
I'm so hungry, I actually would eat you.

-(ASHLYN VOCALIZING)
-GINA: Yes!
439
00:22:01,822 --> 00:22:03,991
I didn't think my texts
were going through.
440
00:22:04,074 --> 00:22:07,035
Yeah, I strapped a plow
to the pizza mobile,
441
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,539
took some backroads and,
you know, I'm a lot of man.
442
00:22:10,622 --> 00:22:13,458
(CHUCKLES)
Well, if I carried cash, I'd tip you.
443
00:22:13,542 --> 00:22:14,793
I'll add it to your tab.
444
00:22:14,877 --> 00:22:19,631
If not for the pizza,
then maybe for these?
445
00:22:19,715 --> 00:22:20,883
My cards!
446
00:22:20,966 --> 00:22:24,094
By the way, the rarest natural
occurring element is astatine.
447

I just thought maybe
you could use a head start.

Hit me up if you ever need a study buddy.
449
00:22:29,141 --> 00:22:30,809
Now I have a tip about your attitude.

and the sheep are in heat!

(GASPS) Oh, thank goodness.
515
00:26:42,728 --> 00:26:44,980
I thought you were another
scary ghost girl.
516
00:26:45,063 --> 00:26:46,481
-What?
-Nothing.
517
00:26:46,565 --> 00:26:48,942
Honey, what happened?
Did the bus get stuck in the ice?
518
00:26:49,026 --> 00:26:51,820
No, um, the bus is fine, Miss Jenn.
519
00:26:51,904 --> 00:26:53,906
I just, um...
520
00:26:54,781 --> 00:26:56,200
I couldn't go back.
521
00:26:56,283 --> 00:27:00,329
I mean, they have a fancy campus,
and fancy teachers,
522
00:27:00,412 --> 00:27:02,623
but the one thing they don't have is...
523
00:27:02,706 --> 00:27:04,124
Ricky.
524
00:27:05,334 --> 00:27:06,668
You.
525
00:27:08,504 --> 00:27:10,005
This.
526
00:27:10,088 --> 00:27:16,178
Kourtney, and Gina, and Ashlyn,
and yes, Ricky and Big Red.
527
00:27:16,970 --> 00:27:20,390
And EJ, and Carlos, and Seb.
528
00:27:22,226 --> 00:27:23,310
This is my home.
529
00:27:24,478 --> 00:27:28,649
And, I mean, it's crazy,
'cause I used to feel trapped here, but...
530
00:27:29,691 --> 00:27:32,152
Today I was really sorry I wasn't.
531
00:27:36,114 --> 00:27:37,115
(CHUCKLES)
532
00:27:37,616 --> 00:27:38,951
(MISS JENN SIGHS)
533
00:27:39,034 --> 00:27:40,661
So...
534
00:27:40,744 --> 00:27:42,246
What's the new dream?
535
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,623
Is it okay if I don't know yet?
536
00:27:46,542 --> 00:27:49,127
Come on. Let me give you a ride home.
537
00:27:51,255 --> 00:27:52,881
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
538
00:27:54,967 --> 00:27:56,385
Hey! Before you say anything,
539
00:27:57,219 --> 00:27:58,720
I hope you're having a great trip.
540
00:27:59,596 --> 00:28:03,225
But since you asked, I do
wanna be honest with you. Always.
541
00:28:03,308 --> 00:28:04,726
-Ricky, I'm not...
-The truth is...
542
00:28:04,810 --> 00:28:07,145
-I have to tell you something.
-I miss you so much.
543
00:28:07,229 --> 00:28:09,398
And I wish you were staying
home with me forever.
544
00:28:10,065 --> 00:28:12,234
I'm sorry, but that's the truth.
545
00:28:12,985 --> 00:28:16,196
Ricky, where are you right now?
546
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,823
Home, why?
547
00:28:18,282 --> 00:28:19,449
(CHUCKLES)
548
00:28:20,492 --> 00:28:21,618
Stay there.
