I guess the inventor of the telephone

could use a little upgrade.

Hey! Stop that!

(blowing whistle)

(clearing throat)

Oh! Principal Lounsberry!

I was just adding to Bell's legacy.

Mr. Austin, lucky for us,

any legacy you leave can be easily taken down.

Let's go. (sighing)

Girl Over PA: Attention, students.

Year end exams are coming up.

Please check the bulletin board outside the guidance office

for information on study groups.

The information will be posted

at the end of the school day.

Paul, did you even try?

Derek, work harder.

Alex, this is not your best work.

Allison?

Your name has two L's, okay?

Joy, you have outdone yourself again. A-.

Miss Marner?

I wanna present you with a token of my appreciation.

Oh, Joy. That is so sweet.

(sniffing) Oh, is it--

Pumpkin spice! Your favourite.

(whinnying, squeaking in video)

Horse with a rubber chicken.

(chuckling) Hilarious.

The substances on their own are powerful, but harmless.

Sometimes to show real change,

they need a bigger push.

(beeping)

Ah. Reminds me of Starbucks in the fall.

You know, we're not really allowed open flames in school,

but I think we can make one little exception.

Hulk: To expose their true strengths,

they need a little spark.

Ooh!

On my count, add all of the catalyst.

Three, two, one--

(slow-motion speech) Nooo!

(beeping)

(muffled frantic chatter) Oh, uh--

(screaming and squealing)

Detention. I never thought I'd see the inside of this room.

Where hoodlums, low-lifes,

and some musicians get their start.

It's cozier than I expected.

Hulk, I can't believe you blew up the science room.

I didn't "blow it up", Raign.

I used a combination of hydrogen peroxide, dish soap,

and a catalyst to accelerate its expansion--

elephant toothpaste.

Is Marcus okay?

Oh, he's fine.

Your confetti cannon almost blew that little crustache

right off his lip.

(uncomfortable reactions)

How did Marner handle that potassium chloride solution?

I've never seen her so mad.

She was all like, "I'm gonna--"

(bell ringing)

"--gonna lose my mind and that--"

(bell ringing)

"--ing fire extinguisher doesn't even--"

(bell ringing) "--ing work!"

This could have serious repercussions

for me getting into Harvard.

After that, you'll be lucky to get into liberal arts.

(shuddering)

So we're all here. Now what?

This was Alexander Graham Bell's personal science textbook

when he was a professor.

I discovered it when I volunteered

to recatalogue the library.

Hulk: Ugh.

I wanted that job.

Do you really think the legend is true?

About his secret lab under this room?

I know it, and if we find it--

We could get full scholarships.

Nobel prizes.

People will think we're cool.

All: Whoa!

Okay. This has to be our first clue.

All: "Only a true man of science

"will venture into the dark to find the light."

(scoffing) "Man."

(scoffing) "Science."

What ya hidin'?

What are you doing here?

Same thing as you-- gettin' into trouble.

Hey, give that back! Just--

Come on!

Not until you tell me what's so special about it.

It contains clues to find Alexander Graham Bell's

hidden lab full of inventions. (groaning)

Bell's hidden lab?

That's a myth, you dorks.

You know about it?

It's common knowledge.

Doesn't make it true.

That's all your knowledge will ever be.

Common.

So what if there is an old room under the school?

Who cares?

It could contain knowledge above our wildest dreams.

The theories that change our world.

Or it could just be an old room full of telephones.

My gran's got that in her attic.

Whatever it is,

when we find it, we'll finally get the respect we deserve.

So why don't you just go back to being alone?

Hmm.

Nah.

I like it here.

I think I'm gonna stay.

Then stay out of our way!

(sighing)

Raign: So what is a

"true man of science"?

Joy: A searcher of truth?

A problem solver?

Let's check in the back of the library.

There may be some other clues.

(muffled music playing)

Joy: Look. Yeah?

Hulk: Come on.

(giggling)

Raign: Oh, that one!

(muffled chattering, laughing)

Hey!

If you nerds opened your eyes for once,

maybe you could see something.

And what is that supposed to mean?

Take it easy. I'm just trying to help you.

With what?

Making fun of our stupid games?

Just stay back and keep being lazy.

It is what you're good at.

And so was Bell.

A true man of science is lazy.

That's what his whole first invention was--

something to make his life easier!

That doesn't make any sense.

Actually, it does.

Alexander Graham Bell hated his first job shucking wheat so much

that he automated a way

to remove wheat husks-- Wheat husks.

You're a natural presenter.

I love grade two story time.

So what does wheat

have to do with the passageway?

I'll tell you

if you let me in on your little adventure.

No way.

Okay.

So I guess I'll take my information

and try to get there myself.

Remember, I have a season's pass to this place.

You guys don't.

Yeah? Well we have Bell's book of clues,

so you won't get very far.

Hm.

Guess we need each other, don't we?

Excuse us for a moment, Mr. Brett.

(whispering) Come on.

I don't trust him. I say we find it on our own.

We can't keep getting thrown in detention.

It's going to end up on our transcripts.

I vote him in.

Are you crazy?

Did you forget the time when he dyed you green?

Or when he filled your backpack with crickets?

That was so grade five.

And I used those crickets to feed my mice.

Besides, I like his rebellious disposition.

Heh.

My parents would hate it. I say yes.

(sighing)

Fine!

You're not allowed to vote!

I'm not voting.

Holy schmoly.

So, how did you know about the wheat husks?

Shockingly, I know some things too.

Some people are just too pretentious to notice.

(hollow knocking)

(loud, echoing knock)

Whoa.

♪

So there really is a hidden passage.

Of course there is!

There's no handle.

Here. Hold this.

Raign: Okay, everybody move!

Whoa. Ahh!

--retirement-- (loud booming)

What the--

Principal Lounsberry!

That's my name. Can I help you?

Ah.

(sighing)

(squeaking on floor)

Bruno Black. I'm from the board,

here to talk about the school's--

transition.

Oh, I--

wish I could say it was a pleasure to meet you.

(laughing) Right.

Whoa! Take it easy!

This isn't WrestleMania!

Are you tryin' to get the whole school to hear ya?

There has to be a smarter way.

Hmm.

Oh, maybe those numbers refer to the weird boxes.

Of course!

The Dewey Decimal system.

Dewey believed that everyone, regardless of class,

should have access to books.

Oh! Oh!

So the keys must be inside the drawers.

Or the key is the drawers.

There. Over there.
