00:00 [ding]
00:00 [laughter]
00:01 Adorable.
00:02 [laughter]
00:03 Friday's game is not going to be easy.
00:05 The Bulldogs are playing the Red Devils,
00:07 led by legendary coach Max Scully,
00:10 a man whose drive to win is borderline crazy.
00:13 You're playing like a bunch of girls!
00:16 [laughter]
00:17 [thud]
00:18 [thud]
00:19 [thud]
00:20 [whistle]
00:21 Yikes!
00:22 [laughter]
00:23 And that was a game they won!
00:25 Good thing our Bulldogs know how to keep it together.
00:28 Even with their new playoff status,
00:30 they're level-headed and humble as ever.
00:33 [music]
00:34 [laughter]
00:49 Guys!
00:50 [record scratch]
00:51 Just because we're in the playoffs
00:53 doesn't mean you get to walk around like you own the place.
00:56 I'm playing now, Bella. I'm just playing.
00:58 I'm playing now.
00:59 Me.
01:00 [laughter]
01:01 [music]
01:02 [laughter]
01:12 You won't find me in the bleachers.
01:15 Now that girl is more than boss.
01:17 I'm made of spice and sugar.
01:19 She brings some sweet talk.
01:21 But not a little bitter.
01:23 We all take what God does.
01:25 You get, you get.
01:27 The game changer, playmaker.
01:29 Take the ball, she'll see you later.
01:31 I'm gonna dream like, team like,
01:33 living like one of the boys.
01:35 She got it going on.
01:37 She got it going on.
01:39 Gonna play like Friday night,
01:41 kicking like one of the boys.
01:43 She got it going on.
01:45 One of the boys.
01:47 [music]
01:57 Wow, look at this place.
01:59 All right.
02:01 Hey, the cheerleaders decorated the lockers for the playoffs.
02:04 They really outdid themselves.
02:06 I just hope they didn't forget about mine.
02:09 [laughter]
02:13 My girls.
02:15 Man, I cannot believe all the perks you get
02:17 when you're in the playoffs.
02:19 I mean, everybody wants a piece of the Troy now.
02:22 New contacts, Olivia, Maddie,
02:25 two Ashleys, three Brooks, and one Carl.
02:28 [laughter]
02:31 Seem like a nice guy.
02:33 [laughter]
02:40 Whoa, new dog in the house.
02:44 Stepmom Brenda wanted to give me a new look for the big game.
02:47 And nice touch, B for Bulldog.
02:49 Actually, it's B for Brenda.
02:51 She insisted I wear it to seem more like a player.
02:55 [laughter]
02:56 So I insisted she wear longer skirts
02:58 to seem more like a mother.
03:00 [laughter]
03:02 Yeah, Bella, can I speak to you for a moment?
03:05 Sure, coach.
03:07 So what's up?
03:09 Oh, did someone steal your pizza pocket
03:11 from the teacher's lounge again?
03:13 [laughter]
03:14 I only wish this was about a pizza pocket.
03:17 I just received this letter from the county athletic board.
03:21 Apparently, Max Scully
03:23 dusted off some old rule books
03:25 and brought this to their attention.
03:27 [paper rustling]
03:29 "We hereby inform you that Silverado West
03:31 "is in violation of County Rule 146-B.
03:35 "All middle school football teams
03:37 "shall be comprised of no less than 12 boys,
03:40 no more than 18 boys."
03:42 And because you're not a boy...
03:44 They're saying I can't play?
03:47 I'm afraid so.
03:49 I called the athletic board.
03:51 Uh, it's a technicality.
03:53 But because no one's ever updated the rule,
03:56 they have to enforce it.
03:58 But no one even knew this stupid rule existed.
04:01 Yeah, no one except Max Scully.
04:04 He's one of those old-timers
04:06 who believe in boys on the football field
04:08 and girls in the kitchen.
04:10 Well, you won't find this girl in the kitchen.
04:13 And it's not because I made that bad batch of cookies.
04:16 Max Scully better get ready for a fight
04:20 because he is going down.
04:22 That's what I'm talking about.
04:24 Yeah, but let's not tell the boys yet.
04:27 You're right. They're in such a good mood
04:29 and I want to only upset them.
04:31 What? Seriously?
04:33 [rattling]
04:35 You guys were listening?
04:39 No. We were eavesdropping.
04:41 Mm-hmm.
04:43 Yeah, that city talk for "We were spying on you."
04:46 Look, this situation stinks, all right?
04:48 And we want to help.
04:50 Well, it says here that we have to get
04:52 5,000 adult signatures
04:54 for them to hold a hearing about changing the rule.
04:57 5,000?
04:59 It's like the entire population of Silverado.
05:01 Yeah. But if we work together, we can do it.
05:04 Great. I'll contact the board.
05:06 Let 'em know we're gonna fight this.
05:08 Bella, you write up a petition.
05:10 Troy, Sawyer, you and the guys get the word out.
05:13 Newt, get rid of that hairdo.
05:16 Oh, thank goodness.
05:19 It's pulled so tight, I've lost feeling in my eyebrows.
05:22 Wow. This spray glue is heavy stuff.
05:37 Where'd you get it?
05:39 My father uses it on his model trains.
05:41 It's so strong, they made it illegal in Canada
05:45 after some lady got out on her hand.
05:47 Them petter cat.
05:49 What happened?
05:51 They got stuck together. Forever.
05:54 Excuse me. Do you know where I could find the Bulldog cheerleaders?
05:59 That's us.
06:01 Great. Here you go.
06:03 Thanks. Ooh, a Miss States cake.
06:05 I wonder who it's from.
06:07 "Welcome to the playoffs," signed the Red Devils Cheer Squad.
06:12 That's weird.
06:14 At cheer camp, they were so snooty, they didn't even talk to us.
06:17 I guess being in the playoffs gives us some cheer cred, eh?
06:21 Yeah. We're finally getting the respect we deserve.
06:25 Good luck, cheer losers?
06:28 How dare they call us losers?
06:31 And in icing, no less.
06:33 I know what this means.
06:35 We can't eat the cake?
06:37 No. We're at war.
06:39 They pulled a prank on us.
06:41 So we can't eat the cake.
06:43 It's not about the cake.
06:45 It's about getting them back.
06:47 Cool, cool, cool, cool. But I'm still eating the cake.
06:49 Deviled eggs for the Red Devils.
06:56 Are you sure that's mean enough?
06:58 I'm sure. I made it with the eggs I found in the cafeteria dumpster.
07:02 If you're going to throw something out, you know it's old.
07:05 Take a whiff.
07:07 Blah!
07:09 Perfect.
07:12 Hi there, ma'am. Would you mind signing that...
07:20 This is harder than I thought.
07:22 Well, maybe these will help.
07:24 We got 27 signatures from my dad's dental office.
07:27 It was easy.
07:29 Most of them were under anesthesia.
07:32 Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.
07:34 But that's 189 in total.
07:37 I don't know how we're going to get 5,000 by tomorrow.
07:40 You'll get there, Mama.
07:42 Now we're off to hit the mall.
07:44 Guys! To get more signatures?
07:46 Yeah. Plus I need new jeans.
07:49 I just ate a whole cake.
07:51 Oh, yes.
07:54 The Troy has done it again.
07:56 67 names. Bam!
07:58 Yeah.
08:00 Shrek Johnson.
08:02 S.B. Square Pants.
08:04 Dr. Icy Butt Crack.
08:06 Troy, these are not real.
08:08 So we added a few of our own.
08:10 No one's going to notice.
08:12 Oh, note!
08:14 Have you gotten any names?
08:16 Yeah, a few. Let's see.
08:18 37, 38, 39.
08:20 In total, I have 5,239.
08:23 Wow!
08:25 How?
08:27 I attached an online petition to that video of me knocking over the water cooler.
08:31 That's brilliant!
08:35 Now we have enough names to get the hearing tomorrow.
08:37 Thanks, noobs!
08:39 You're the walk-into-stuff kid.
08:43 Ooh! Will you walk into something for me?
08:45 I can't just do it on command.
08:47 It has to come to me naturally.
08:49 I think...
08:52 (laughing)
08:54 Ooh, nice! Where'd you get this?
09:06 It was a gift from the Red Devil Cheer Squad.
09:09 It is a little, though.
09:11 (gasps)
09:13 Oh, man! What's in this? Something's wrong with this stuff!
09:15 Oh, no, they didn't.
09:19 The Red Devil's put itching powder in that lotion.
09:21 So that's how it's gonna be, huh?
09:23 What are we gonna do now?
09:25 I don't know.
09:27 But we gotta hit him fast, and we gotta hit him hard.
09:29 You mean with the prank, right?
09:33 Because with you, I can never tell.
09:35 (laughing)
09:41 Look at that guy with his smug grin.
09:43 He won't have much to smile about when I'm through with him.
09:47 When we're through with him.
09:49 We've got your back, fella.
09:51 That's right. We stayed up late last night doing all kinds of research.
09:53 Really? You studied the county law books?
09:55 Nope. We watched "Legally Blonde" one and two.
09:59 The first three was way better.
10:01 Hey, Phil, you all come here to lose to me again?
10:07 Well, I expected something underhanded from you, Mac,
10:11 but I didn't think you would stoop this low.
10:13 Underhanded? I'm not the one that's breaking the rules.
10:17 Football is a man's game.
10:19 Always has been.
10:21 Maybe in 1955, but newsflash, this is a different century.
10:25 Aren't you a little firecracker?
10:29 I hereby call this meeting to order.
10:33 First we'll take statements from Mr. Scully,
10:35 then from Miss Dawson.
10:37 Mac?
10:39 Thank you, Roy.
10:41 Patty?
10:43 New hair color?
10:45 Nice.
10:47 Don't you worry, Jimbo. I'm starting your boy in the game this weekend.
10:51 Objection!
10:53 Young man, this is not a court of law.
10:55 We're just taking statements.
10:57 Right.
10:59 Okay. Proceed.
11:01 First of all, I think it's important you all know
11:07 that it is with genuine concern for this little lady
11:09 that I brought that rule to your attention.
11:11 Your Honor, may we approach the bench?
11:13 I'm not a judge, and this is not a courthouse.
11:17 Now, will you please stop interrupting Mr. Scully?
11:21 No more objections.
11:23 Overruled!
11:25 Who said that?
11:31 Now, you all know I'm not a bad guy,
11:37 but I bet you're gonna think I am
11:39 when Miss Dawson gets up here
11:41 and tells you how I'm crushing her sweet little dream.
11:45 And she's gonna bat her eyelashes
11:49 and tug at your heartstrings
11:51 the way that you females are so good at.
11:53 And you all are gonna be so charmed
11:57 that you're gonna forget the real issue.
11:59 Football is too dangerous for a girl.
12:05 Thank you.
12:07 Miss Dawson, that's your turn.
12:11 Oh, you're probably gonna need these
12:13 for the eye-dabbing and such.
12:17 (CLEARS THROAT)
12:19 Good afternoon. I'm Bella Dawson.
12:23 I want to share with you the stats
12:25 for the top-ranked quarterback in the division.
12:29 Eight games, six wins,
12:32 19 touchdowns, two interceptions,
12:35 1,100 yards passing,
12:37 and a 61% completion rate.
12:40 That's pretty impressive,
12:42 but what does that have to do with you?
12:44 That quarterback was me.
12:46 (ALL EXCLAIMING)
12:48 No, she didn't!
12:50 I mean, in the hush-up.
12:52 (ALL LAUGHING)
12:54 Here's the most important stat.
12:57 I was sacked ten times.
12:59 I got back up ten times.
13:02 Too dangerous? Not for me.
13:06 Playing football is my dream.
13:09 And I think it's shameful
13:11 that someone would pull up an outdated rule
13:13 just to stop a girl, any girl,
13:16 from achieving her dream.
13:19 Thank you.
13:21 Thank you, Miss Dawson.
13:23 We'll take this under consideration.
13:25 You killed it, fella!
13:27 You see this? Goosebumps.
13:30 (ALL LAUGHING)
13:32 Let's just hope it works.
13:34 Now's the tough part, waiting for the decision.
13:36 We've made a decision.
13:38 Oh, okay.
13:40 Miss Dawson, you've presented a clear-cut case.
13:45 The panel has unanimously agreed
13:47 to revoke Rule 151.
13:50 The panel has unanimously agreed
13:53 to revoke Rule 146B,
13:56 "Girls can play middle school football."
13:59 (ALL LAUGHING)
14:01 Probably gonna need one of these, Scully.
14:06 You know, for the eye-dabbing insert.
14:09 (ALL LAUGHING)
14:11 Looks like you'll be seeing this girl
14:15 on the football field Friday night.
14:17 Actually, Miss Dawson, the rule won't go into effect for 30 days.
14:21 What?
14:23 30 days?
14:26 But the playoffs will be over by then.
14:29 I sympathize. I really do.
14:32 But it takes 30 days to overturn one of our rules,
14:36 and that's a rule I can't change.
14:38 I'm sorry.
14:40 (MUSIC PLAYING)
14:42 I can't believe it.
14:52 We're in the playoffs, and I'm not allowed to play.
14:54 Looks like Max Scully got what he wanted after all.
14:57 Oh, I'd love to come face to fist with that jerk.
15:01 Bella, here's my shoulder. Cry on it.
15:05 Go ahead, cry on it.
15:07 Go ahead.
15:09 (ALL LAUGHING)
15:11 Thanks, Pepper.
15:13 But I'm more in the mad stage, not the sad stage.
15:17 But isn't there anything that can be done?
15:19 I'm hoping so.
15:21 Troy texted me that he has a plan that will allow me to play.
15:24 Who knows? It might just be a good one.
15:27 So we cut your hair, give you a stash,
15:30 and boom, you're a boy.
15:33 Seriously, guys, I appreciate the...
15:39 ...this.
15:41 But I don't think it's gonna work.
15:44 Don't worry, Bella. Newt's dad is calling the governor.
15:47 Really? He is?
15:49 Great. Okay. Thanks, Dad.
15:52 What'd he say?
15:53 Did it work?
15:54 Sorry, guys. The governor can't help.
15:57 Although he did get us free tickets for the state fair
16:00 with front-row seats to the pick races.
16:02 I'll be backstage anyways.
16:06 You guys, it's okay.
16:09 The playoffs aren't about me. They're about the team.
16:13 But you're a part of that team.
16:15 And I still am.
16:17 I just won't be on the field.
16:19 I'll be on the sidelines cheering you on.
16:21 Bella, this isn't fair.
16:23 You have to do what's best for the team.
16:26 I guess you're right.
16:28 Yeah.
16:33 You guys got this. Have a great game.
16:37 There may be one other thing we can do.
16:43 What if she had a beard?
16:46 Oh, I'm due!
16:49 She is not a handsome man.
17:00 This is going to be the best prank ever!
17:03 What were you spraying on there?
17:07 Nothing.
17:09 It says "Glue."
17:11 No!
17:13 This isn't glue.
17:15 This is G-L-U-E.
17:19 You know, which stands for "Good luck on two."
17:23 Oh, just stop.
17:25 Yeah, it's glue.
17:28 But we only did it because you sent us that itching lotion.
17:30 Because you sent us rotten eggs.
17:33 You started it, remember?
17:35 You sent us a cake that said "Good luck, cheer losers."
17:38 What? No, it didn't.
17:40 It said "Good luck, cheer leaders."
17:42 I called in the order myself.
17:44 Picture or it didn't happen?
17:47 Picture it happened.
17:49 Say what now?
17:51 Looks like it says "Cheer lickers."
17:56 Whatever it says, it's insulting.
17:58 How did this even happen?
18:00 Who'd you order the cake from?
18:02 Miss Tate's Cakes?
18:03 Oh, no wonder. They always make mistakes.
18:06 They gave my nephew a happy birthday cake.
18:10 Oh, looks like we started it.
18:14 We're sorry.
18:16 Can we buy you guys some prank-free hot chocolate?
18:20 Sounds good.
18:22 Bulldog! Bulldog!
18:25 Bulldog! Bulldog!
18:28 Hey, uh, good luck, man.
18:45 Yeah, same to you, Phil.
18:47 Now let's play some football the way it's supposed to be played.
18:51 Sorry you lost your girl, but rules are rules.
18:55 All right, guys, get out there.
18:59 Bulldog! Bulldog!
19:01 Go, go, go!
19:03 Come on, man. Come on, come on.
19:05 All right, guys.
19:07 This is the moment we've been working for all year.
19:10 I know Bella wants us to be out here.
19:13 But it just doesn't feel right.
19:19 Time out!
19:21 If Bella can't play, I don't want to play.
19:31 Me neither.
19:45 Me neither.
19:47 What's going on here?
19:52 We're standing together as a team and forfeiting the game.
19:56 All right, guys, let's go.
20:03 Let's go.
20:05 We're standing together as a team and forfeiting the game.
20:09 All right, then.
20:17 Bulldogs forfeit!
20:21 Automatic win for the Red Devils!
20:32 Crazy, what were you thinking?
20:35 I told you not to worry about me.
20:38 We worked so hard for this, and...
20:41 And...
20:43 You guys are so awesome.
20:45 I hope you're not mad, Coach.
20:51 Mad?
20:53 I couldn't be more proud than I am right now.
20:56 Thanks, Coach.
21:01 I...
21:03 I don't care that you won.
21:05 My kids are the real winners.
21:08 There's only one winner here, and it's Max Scully and his Red Devils.
21:13 (SIGHS)
21:15 You know, I gotta say,
21:38 this was the craziest year of football I've ever played.
21:42 But it was also the best.
21:44 I just wish we had the chance to play the Red Devils.
21:48 We'll never know who was the better team.
21:51 See you guys at the starcade.
21:53 - (SCREAMS) Red Devils! - Relax.
21:59 We came here to apologize about our coach.
22:02 Truth is, he only went after you because he was afraid of losing to a girl.
22:07 - What? - Seriously?
22:09 Max Scully was afraid of me?
22:11 Oh, yeah, big time.
22:13 This whole time, Big Bad Max Scully was afraid that I'd beat him?
22:19 That's the biggest victory I've had all season.
22:23 - Make sure to thank him for me. - You got it.
22:26 It would have been fun to play against the best QB in the league.
22:30 It's too bad it didn't happen.
22:32 Wait.
22:35 Maybe it can happen.
22:37 All right.
22:39 The unofficial playoffs are on. Y'all ready?
22:42 - Oh, yeah. - All right.
22:44 - Heads, you choose. Tails, we... - Hey!
22:47 - Coach. - And we're busted.
22:52 - Coach, we were. - Hey.
22:55 You kids can't do this without the lights on.
22:59 (WHISTLES)
23:01 (EXPLOSION)
23:03 (EXPLOSION)
23:05 (EXPLOSION)
23:07 (EXPLOSION)
23:09 (EXPLOSION)
23:11 (CHEERING)
23:13 Now that's more like it.
23:15 Yeah.
23:17 Yo, Devils, you think you can handle the Bulldogs?
23:21 Oh, bring it, Dawson.
23:24 I always do.
23:26 Here we go.
23:28 (WHISTLES)
