[Menacingly] Shane.
[Normal voice] H.R. says I'm

Well, that's true, because in

You can't--
No, no, I bust the nuts.
I’m the law.
It’s my name.
It’s my I.P.!
All of which you signed over
to Napalm Energy Corporation.
including your butt, which
no one asked you to do,
So you can have that back.
You signed your butt over
to them?
No wonder girls don't respond
to his brand.
[Laughter]
We’re gonna need you to be
out of the office by lunch,
Laurence.
Ash, about mom's birthday
card...
Oh, oh, oh.
it's your mother's birthday?
Oh, what a special day.
Mrs. Barnstormer is an
inspiration to this whole

Don’t mind if I do.

Once the E.R. guy said
Clutch’s big toe was okay,
We rushed right back to the
school, but...
I was driving too fast.
Ted, you should have been
more careful.
I know.
It’s just--
My phone had died, and you
didn't know where I was, and...
I didn't want to ruin your prom.
I’m just happy you're okay.
You are...
Okay, right?
It’s been a rough couple of
weeks, Ki.
But you know what?
This’ll give me time to think.
It’s so unfair that they're

Love mom."
It’s dead.

Oh, crap!
Oh!
Aah!
Oh, crap, oh, crap, oh, crap.
Ah, jeez.
You’re feeding him, right,
and teaching him new tricks,
and cleaning his poop?
You got to clean his poop, Ted.
Uh-huh.
He’s fine.
He’s just sleeping right now.
He’s sleeping?
It’s noon.
What did you do to him?
Hmm?
Show him to me.
He’s in my room, and you will
get to see him when your team
votes for Ki.
Oh, no, Ted.
My guys don't vote until I know
He’s okay.
You got that?
Yes, fine.
I’ll send you a picture.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Pwners and Zwners, today is
The day--
Napalm versus VGHS.
Two incredible teams,
two incredible captains,
but only one will go on
to the fps championship.
Let’s talk jenny matrix.
She’s still a sophomore.
This is her first year on
varsity, and this is the biggest
game of her career.
Can she handle the pressure?
According to my readouts...
No.
There you have it.
He’s here.
Jacques Letoure and his scout
are coming to the game.
What?
Wait. Why?
Why?
To see you play, and they want
to meet you after the game.
Word on the street is they're
losing their backup sniper.
Okay, so this--this is--
this is real.
Mm-hmm, Ashley’s the only
other player they're looking at.
You kick his ass, and you will
be packing your bags, because
you will be going to Paris.
Hey, it's a really, really
good thing.
Get your war face on.
Mom...
I have to tell Brian.
[sighs]
and I don't--I don't even
know what to say.
You still want this, right?
Yeah, more than anything.
Then you tell him that,
and you hope that he
understands.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, guys.
[Laughter]
Oh-ho, what is that?
Dude.
Hey, guys.
Jenny, hey.
We’re just--
Yeah, sorry to interrupt.
Hey, I was just, um...
I was wondering, do you want to
come over for dinner tonight?
I’ll cook.
You’ll cook?
Mm-hmm.
okay.
Okay, great.
So I’ll see you tonight after
the game.
Yeah.
Uh...
is everything okay?
Yeah. Yes.
Yeah, definitely.
I just wanted to talk to you,
Just you and me, talking,
you know, just you and me.
it's nothing.
Um...
[Clears throat] I’m gonna go
vote before the game.
okay.
Oh, my god!
That’s so cute!
What?
do we need to draw you a map?
A map?
To where?
To sex town, Brian.
'cause that's where you're
headed, and when you get there,
you're having sex with jenny.
Mm-hmm.
What?
No, stop being weird.
think about it, dude.
She wants to cook you dinner
tonight after the big game.
Just the two of you.
She cook you a lot of
dinners, Brian?
I mean, she burned us popcorn
once, and then we made out
afterwards.
Oh, my god.
That was just popcorn, dude.
Tonight you get the full course.
Uh-huh.
You’re getting dessert.
Boom!
Ah-roo-gah!
Honk-honk!
Yeah!
You the man!
You’re the man, Brian!
[All shouting lewdly]
Oh, yeah!
The guy's a king.
[Dial-up connections whirring]
That’s three more votes
from the puzzle gamers.
Yes.
[whispering] uh, Ki, can
I talk to you for a second?
Hi.
You’re back.
Hi.
Um...
So, about the M.M.O. guild...
there's news on
the M.M.O. guild?
Do we have it confirmed?
Will they hold?
What?
did we get their votes?
Duh.
Just talked to josh.
Everything’s gonna be fine.
[Applause]
Everyone, we can do this.
[All cheering]
You’re the best, ted.
This is a one-round game of
hostage rescue.
The first team to extract their
hostage to the helipad wins.
Captains, have you picked your
hostages?
Jumpin' Jax.
Ashley barnstormer.
This guy.
Game starts in 60 seconds.
Let’s get it crackin'.
All right, bring it in.
[Claps hands]
All right, this is the real
deal, kids.
This is your moment.
If you win this game, you will
have sex with my daughter.
Get Jax on that helicopter,
and we are going to the
championship.
Now, go out there and make me
proud.
Go!
Brian...
You seem distracted.
Did Jenny talk to you?
Oh, about...
About what's going to happen
After the game?
Oh. Um...
Okay, I know this is awkward
because I’m her mom, and
whatever happens between you two
is between you two.
But I can't have it affecting
your game out there.
No, no, it won't.
Really?
Because you look pretty frazzled
Right now.
Okay, fine. Um...
I’m sort of freaking out just a
little bit, because, like,
you know, it's a big change
in our relationship.
Well, change is coming,
Brian, whether you want it to
or not.
and it's gonna hurt.
It is?
Yeah, it hurts.
but jenny has dreamed about this
her entire life, so don't ruin
it for her.
Okay, you go out there, and you
do your job.
Let’s do it.
[Rapid gunfire]
Brian d. is falling apart out
there.
Give that boy some crazy glue.
[Gunshot]
Oh, come on, Brian.
Man, your team kind of sucks,
Especially Brian.
Well, good thing you won't have
to play with them when you're in
Paris this summer.
[sighs] look, I get it.
You put yourself in here to
screw with me.
It’s not gonna work.
Jenny, you got me all wrong.
I’m just lazy.
Besides, the law has got this
in the bag.
You remember the law, don't you?
[Telephone ringing]
[Chirpy indistinct speech]
But I thought we had a deal.
[Chirpy indistinct speech]
Okay.
I understand.
Everyone...
I just got word that the RPG
team voted for Shane.
damn it!
I thought we had it!
walk it off, Sebastian.
I thought we had it.
Okay, so we're gonna tear
down this wall for the shark
tank, and I’m thinking that the
zen garden can go right about
here.
Oh, hey, guys.
don't mind us.
What are you doing here
Shane?
Oh, I’m just getting a head
start on some of my presidential
duties.
This is gonna be my office.
This is our classroom.
Oh, don't worry.
it turns out there's an even
grosser, smellier basement
underneath this basement.
It’s all yours.
[clears throat]
Um, Shane, you can't do this.
This isn't how it works.
Oh, man, no grape pop?
Actually, they've got grape
down at the student center.
That’s all the way
across campus!
[Sighs] today blows.
Call my driver.
Make sure it's Steven.
It should always be Steven.
[chuckles]
Mm, yeah.
O’doyle, you have yoga in the
mornings, right?
Well, yoga's hard work.
I bet you wish you could have
some super sour straws on your
way back.
Oi, they're my favorite
candy, but you can only
get them--
In that vending machine next
to the weird mural in the
parking lot--
Too long a walk between classes.
What if I told you we could put
them here in the vending machine
next to Mr. Wong’s classroom.
I would say you're speaking
my language, Ki Swan.
You could move gummy worms
closer to the parkour funasium.
I could finally have
chocolate raisins on the way
to celebrity Pokermon.
go out and talk to every
voter you can.
Find out what favorite soda,
What favorite candy, favorite
treat they normally don't
have time to get on their way
to class, and you tell them
that Ki swan personally promises
that the snacks they want will
be in the vending machines
they need them to be in,
to get the snacks that they
normally don't have time to get,
but want!
Polls close in five hours.
Let’s get to work, people.

Oh, I think I’m gonna be
sick.
It's just a Tomowachi.
I have the cutest Tomowachi
at home named hank.
This freaks me out!
Ki needs these votes.
All right?
And I need your help,
So let's go.
Clutch, get the camera.
D.K., help me with the body.
Theodore, stealing Joshua’s
virtual pet and threatening to
kill it, that's one thing.
that's cool.
But to actually kill it and
pretend it's alive?
That messed up.
You want to talk messed up
to the guy who's been in
detention for over three weeks?
Now, help me with the body
and teach me Photoshop.
'tis a dark road upon which
you drift, Ted.
You go where we cannot follow.
You’re a monster.
Fine.
I don't even need your stinkin'
help anyway.
I thought we were bros!
Oh, my gosh.

I want to play!
Ugh!

Dude, what is your deal?
I can't--can't focus.

Jenny and I are doing it

What?
How is that a problem?

Brian, you are literally
living every 16-year-old boy's
dream right now.

School.
Your smoking-hot girlfriend
wants to have sex with you.
And for some reason, her mom is
cool with it.
You’re right.
That is pretty awesome.
Yeah, it's pretty damn
awesome.
Now, do you want it or not?
