- So, right inside of here sits your bowels.
This is where the poop is stored
before you release it out into the world.
And what protects it is a human body infrastructure
called the skeleton.
And underneath that thing is the blood, the water...
It's pretty sturdy.
(knocks on the fake skull)
(phone vibrating)
(chuckles) We're like real life avatars.
- Hello?
Hello? Hello, Raymond?
Hello?
- [Automated Voice] Hello. You have just won $10,000.
(phone thunks on desk)
- Excuse me! (playful music plays)
Some of us are trying to learn here.
So, if you can please stay off your phone,
that will be a delight for all of us.
Thank you.
(walkie-talkie beeps and static)
- [Dash And Selina] Ca-Caw!
(clears throat)
- All right,
(bell rings) break time.
(upbeat music plays)
After that, we have social studies,
so go ahead and conversate
and enjoy yourselves in the hallways, on the patio,
wherever you might wander.
Just don't go too far.
Hey. Bye guys.
(walkie-talkie beeps and static)
- [Dash And Selina] Ca-Caw!
- Shh!
- Mr. Lee, what are you doing?
(caws like a bird)
- That's a crow. Working on my bird calls.
- Why?
- Because it's break time, Ms. Jacobs! Dang!
- For the students! You haven't earned a break.
- You gotta stop.
You already made us wear these stupid uniforms.
- What was that?
- Oh, I said... I like the new uniforms.
They make my calves look big.
Kinda like a lift.
- (sighs) We have a meeting in the teacher's lounge
in five minutes.
- We just had a meeting, Ms. Jacobs. Dang!
- And we have another one in five minutes!
- Okay. Bye, I'm coming.
(walkie-talkie beeps, static)
(caws like a bird)
(continues cawing)
(upbeat techno music plays)
(slower techno music plays)
- Oh my God!
(groaning)
- We're free!
- Oh man, that was awesome!
- Yeah!
(hands high fiving)
- Yes!
- Yes! Yes!
- Woo!
- Now we just have to get to the party.
- Great, great.
Yeah. Where do we go?
(fun anticipatory music plays)
- I don't know.
You don't know?!
- How would I?
- It was your plan.
- Oh my God.
- I'm sure we can find it online.
- Yeah!
- Where's your phone?
- My mom took it away after I failed four subjects,
you know this!
Okay, where's your phone?
- I left it behind.
- Okay. Okay. Okay.
You did what?!
(groans)
- You said to leave everything behind.
- Why would you listen to me?
(groans)
(caw crows)
- We're gonna die out here.
- I hear birds! I hear birds!
Dude, I have a bird phobia.
(choir sings "Amazing Grace")
- I'm scared. - Okay, I'm scared, too.
- If we were in a TV show,
this would be the part where we die.
(voices laughing, talking)
(upbeat pop music plays)
- You came after all!
- Yeah. Rich needed me.
- I brought you coconut water.
- I'm good.
- Come on. I know it's your favorite.
And don't worry, there's no dairy.
I wouldn't do that to you like your last girlfriend.
- She's still my girlfriend
- Then why haven't you heard from her?
- Is this about the party?
- No.
- You know, sooner or later,
you're gonna have to tell us what's going on.
- It's Raymond. He's ghosting me.
- Well, when was the last time you heard from him?
- Last night.
- Brit, that's not even 24 hours ago.
After 48? Now that's when you have to start worrying.
- Plus, you did almost kill him.
- Monique!
- What? It's true.
- No, you guys don't understand.
It's 12:30 in the afternoon.
- And?
- And by now, we would've texted at least 20 times.
So, yes. I think he's ghosting me.
- There's only one thing to do.
Start investigating.
- How?
- With our finstas.
(relaxed pop music plays)
- [Monique] Boom. We're in.
(relaxed pop music continues)
- [Paige] See? We got our technique.
You search around people they know,
send DMs pretending to be a stranger,
see if they take the bait!
Did they like any photos?
Geotag the location?
Call his mom and dad.
Anything for a clue.
Don't hold back looking silly.
You add clues together, then boom!
You find what you're looking for.
And hope it's not the worst case scenario.
- Small world.
(ring clatters to the ground)
(walkie-talkie static) (upbeat music plays)
- Oh my God.
What did y'all do?
- I gotta pee!!!
- How many sodas did you drink?
- Around 10?
- Why? Come on, just-
be quiet like a ninja.
Ninja, ninja!
Hey, clean up some of this mess!
- Are you serious?
- Yes. You gotta get your security deposit back.
Come on, come on, come on,
go, go, go, go, go!
Come on, come on! Get in there!
- Don't you have a class to teach?
- Oh, I was just about to grab a TV for a lesson.
- But you are a long way from the A/V room.
- Wait a minute. Didn't y'all move the A/V room?
- It has been in the same room for 50 years.
Cut it out.
- TV's ain't been around that long, Ms. Jacobs.
- I will chaperone you.
- Okay.
- To the AV room.
- Okay! Okay. Go on, I'm coming, I'm right behind you.
I'm coming, I'm coming. Dang!
(walkie-talkie beeps and static)
- [Selina] Dash, where are you?
I gotta go pee.
(Mani meowing to cover up the sound of the radio)
- What was that?
- I said, "Oh, Dash. Where are you?"
My voice, I'm just working on my vocals.
- It sounded like a small chi-
- It sounded like, "Oh, Dash, I gotta pee!"
- Cut it- Let's go!
(Mani singing)
Oh my God! What are you-? Don't-
(door closes)
- Is it just me, or is it cold outside?
- It's like 80 degrees out.
- Really? I think it must be dehydration.
I think this is it.
I think I see the light!
I'm coming, Elizabeth!
- Dude, it's been like barely an hour.
- Yeah, but I haven't had any water since yesterday.
(water bottle hits the ground)
(maniacal laughter)
Yes!
Mm!
We're safe! We're safe!
Here.
- Gee, thanks buddy.
- No, not that.
Look!
Towels.
- And sunglasses!
- Pool party!
- Yeah!!!
(singing)
- All right!
Today, we're gonna watch the greatest social studies movie
of all time.
- What's the movie?
- "SuperBad."
(high fives)
Brit.
Meet me outside.
So, get ready to enjoy cinematic magic.
(movie starts)
(sad pop song plays)
- Hey, what's going on?
- Raymond and Aaliyah went to
Rich Rice's pool party together.
- Girl, I wouldn't be worried about that.
I saw how he looked at you on the date.
That cheesy boy loves you.
- He hasn't texted me back all day.
And Aaliyah and Raymond used to date.
- Prove it.
What in the--?
That boy had me spending my gas money on that cheesy date!
(grunts, slaps)
- I can't believe he forgot about me
all because of one pool party.
It's all your fault!
- How is it my fault?!
I'm doing all this for you.
But you're the one who broke that vase.
- I'm just a kid!
You're the one who almost murdered my boyfriend,
got me threatened by Randy's daughters,
and got me stuck in summer school!
You're the worst, Mani.
- Y'all wanna go on a field trip?
- What? Where? (upbeat music plays)
- To Rich Rice's pool party.
- Are you serious?
- What better way to teach social studies
than at a social event?
- What about Ms. Jacobs?
- What about her?
I'll handle her.
This is Operation: Pool Party.
Now here's the plan.
(music continues)
- What are you up to, Mani Lee?
- [Announcer] Next time, on "Mani."
- How am I supposed to slay in a sweaty PE uniform?
- You better " Project Runway" it.
(door closes)
- It's just a matter of time.
- Could you show her how to be intimidating?
(yells)
- You haven't seen my friends, have you?
- These are your friends?
