This is a make it or break it opportunity
for all you amateur thespians.
Make it and you'll be on your way
to a bright multi-hyphenate career.
Break it and you'll be living in your parents basements,
relieving yourselves in a bucket for the rest of your lives
or the life of your bucket.
[giggling]
A highly esteemed actor will judge this year's competition.
Let me guess.
Tis moi, Lagaze.
[laughing]
Only one young thespian will be crowned
this year's maniactor.
I recommend that you choose your scene partners wisely,
or else.
[sighing]
Nolan may have won this round, but I will win the war!
Teddy, what you got?
Ew. What is that?
The Butt Bomb 4000.
It provides an immersive fart experience.
Genius. Francis, how's that fire ant milking coming along?
Great.
Everyone must make sacrifices in the war
of awesome versus evil.
Speaking of the war, what if you called a truce?
And let Nolan win?! Are you quite mad, good sir?
Francis has a point, man. I don't want to waste
all my best pranking years on Nolan.
Yeah, it's almost intolerable.
And I have a small twig growing out of my ear.
That's great, Chad.
Thanks. I knew you guys would be happy for me.
Dee Dee, how bout you? Uh, Dee Dee? Dee Dee, what's up?
Oh, she's got the scene partner blues.
It's this maniactor's acting competition.
Doctor Lagaze says it's our last chance
to make it big, but I need a showstopping partner.
Why don't you hold auditions after school?
Maybe someone will surprise you.
It couldn't hurt.
Now I need a scene partner, and I need one pronto.
Who's got that star power stink? Talk to me, people!
Would you mind if I started over?
You haven't said anything yet.
[
[laughing]
Uh, what should I do?
Surprise me.
[farting]
Special delivery.
[
[grumbling]
[
What's up with brussel sprouts?
We keep telling our parents we don't like them.
Oh, and how about arugula? Or should I say "Abugala"?
[
[screaming]
[laughing]
You'll never out prank me, Nate Wright.
I'm stronger. I'm smarter.
And you stink at snappy comebacks.
Well, I'm rich, too. I'm way richer than you are.
So what? Besides, I've got something very important
that you will never have.
What's that, toe fungus?
Yeah. No, I'm talking about friends, jerkweed.
Friends!
I have friend.
He or she or... they are just not here right now.
[chuckles]
Friends, huh? Thanks, Nate Wright.
You just handed me the weapon that's going to take you down.
[laughing]
[groaning] Alas, my acting career is over.
I'm already 11 and I don't even have
a celebrity candle that smells like my teeth.
Unique New York. Round and down. Red rubber baby buggy bumpers.
Ee-yah.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
Me? I was- Nothing.
I just happened to overhear your, um, your, uh...
I was doing vocal warm ups.
Yeah, but why.
Isn't it obvious? I'm getting my voice nice and ready
for the maniactor's acting competitch. Ever heard of it?
Since when did you get into theater?
Oh, I've always been a thespian. That means actor.
It runs in my blood.
Ugh.
Can't you see, Margaret?
It's this place that's tearing us apart.
You think I like leaving you every night?
I can't help it, and I am ashamed, Margaret.
I am ashamed. [crying]
He's actually good. [groaning]
Okay, I called this emergency meeting to discuss
my next move in the ongoing Nate versus Nolan prank war.
Now, what I'm thinking is- Hang on. Where's Dee Dee?
She's in the auditorium rehearsing with Nolan.
And spoiler alert, their chemistry, it is sizzling.
What?
Dee Dee's making dramagic with my arch enemy?
What is she thinking? Don't worry, Amy.
I'll take care of this.
Don't do it on my behalf.
I don't want to be a helicopter girlfriend.
Yes, I do. I'll go with you.
