00:00Silverado beauty pageants!
00:02So lived up to the hype!
00:04Yay!
00:06Hooray for superficial pageants
00:08that are a waste of time!
00:10Give me one good reason
00:12why you want to do that.
00:14I'll give you $10,000!
00:16That's how much scholarship money the winner gets!
00:18That could really help with your college fund!
00:20The winner still gets
00:22a sparkly tiara, right?
00:24So pretty!
00:26There's only one problem.
00:28I need a member of the Silverado Country Club
00:30to sponsor me, but
00:32I don't know anyone who's that fancy.
00:34Oh, hey, Newt!
00:36Don't look at my hair.
00:38My stepmom, Brenda,
00:40insisted on driving the Ferrari
00:42with the top down.
00:44Apparently, she likes to be seen.
00:46Big surprise.
00:48Wait, Newt.
00:50Your family belongs to the Country Club, don't they?
00:52Yeah, you have to eat foie gras
00:54with the vice president somewhere,
00:56am I right?
01:00Yeah.
01:02Anyway,
01:04uh, do you think your dad
01:06could sponsor me in the Young Ladies of Silverado
01:08pageant?
01:10I know I'm gonna regret saying this, but I can ask Brenda.
01:12She follows every pageant
01:14in Texas. In fact,
01:16she was Junior Miss West Southeast Texas
01:18five years in a row.
01:20Wow, that's impressive.
01:22Especially since you can only enter
01:24three times.
01:26Don't ask me how she did that.
01:54Living like one of the boys
01:56Chicago boy
01:58Chicago boy
02:00I'm gonna play like Friday night
02:02Kick it like one of the boys
02:04Chicago boy
02:06One of the, one of the boys
02:20Bella,
02:22I've got good news and bad news.
02:24Brenda has agreed
02:26to sponsor you in the pageant.
02:28That's great!
02:30What's the bad news?
02:32Hi, honey!
02:34Your new pageant coach is here!
02:38That is the bad news.
02:42I'm Brenda Jean,
02:44and you must be
02:46Bella Ann.
02:48Hi, Brenda Jean. It's nice to meet you.
02:50And actually, it's just Bella.
02:52Honey, pageant winners
02:54always have two first names.
02:56You know who said that?
02:58Five-time winner, Brenda Jean
03:00Van Der Rohe!
03:02There it is.
03:06Now, before we get started, I need to get
03:08my beauty supplies from the car.
03:10Oh, don't worry. I have my makeup bag right here.
03:12Oh!
03:14Isn't that perfect?
03:16For a baby?
03:20Well,
03:22she's a bit much.
03:24Newt,
03:26I thought you said your stepmom was going
03:28to sponsor me, not coach me.
03:30That's Brenda for you.
03:32She always makes everything about herself.
03:34She has no regard for anyone's thoughts
03:36or feelings or how they color-code their closet.
03:38It goes Kelly Green,
03:40Forest Green, then Army Green.
03:42How hard is that?
03:44Oh, come on.
03:46She can't be that bad.
03:48Here we go!
03:50Three makeup cases,
03:5220 feet of hair extensions,
03:54and one coach who is constantly
03:56being mistaken for Newt's slightly
03:58older sister. So embarrassing.
04:04Now, where can I set up my spray tan tent?
04:06Never mind. I'm all scattered out.
04:10Yep, she's a handful.
04:12Well, good luck with that.
04:14Newt, wait.
04:16I'm going to win this scholarship.
04:18I might need your help with Brenda.
04:20Fine, I'll stay.
04:22You'd never survive
04:24without a Brenda buffer.
04:26Thanks, Newt. I really appreciate it.
04:28Is there anything
04:30I can do to prepare?
04:32Do you prepare for a shark attack?
04:34No.
04:36You just swim as fast as you can and pray
04:38your dad doesn't marry it.
04:46Ugh.
04:48Yesterday's practice was bananas.
04:50I'm still feeling it.
04:52Tell me about it.
04:54My cheer steps are burning.
04:56I guess I'll surprise you
04:58being an athlete.
05:00What?
05:02That's funny.
05:04Oh, you
05:06called yourselves athletes.
05:08Yeah.
05:10It's not like cheerleading is a real sport
05:12like football.
05:14You know what I'm saying?
05:16No.
05:20Cheerleaders
05:22have the flexibility of a gymnast
05:24and the strength of a powerlifter.
05:26Right. It must be so hard
05:28to wave pom-poms or spell out
05:30those big words like
05:32go and team
05:34and, uh, go.
05:38I bet you two couldn't make it through one cheer routine.
05:40Oh, really?
05:42My associate and I won't take that bet.
05:44Yep.
05:46And when we win, you'll have to admit that
05:48cheerleading is nothing but a sweaty spelling bee
05:50with pom-poms.
05:52And when you lose?
05:54If we lose,
05:56we'll wear those goofy male cheer uniforms
05:58and look like doofuses
06:00for a whole day.
06:02Okay. It's a bet.
06:04Meet us in the gym after cheer practice tomorrow.
06:06Oh. Oh, we will.
06:08And you'll be embarrassed.
06:12Be e-embarrassed.
06:14B-E-E-M-B-A-R-R-R...
06:18Don't hurt yourself.
06:20...E.
06:26Okay.
06:28The spray tan-tan is all set up in your bedroom.
06:30You can sleep on the floor, right?
06:32Um...
06:34Okay. First up,
06:36know your opponents.
06:38These girls prepare their whole lives
06:40for their pageants.
06:42Oh.
06:44They all look amazing.
06:46And this girl is playing
06:48Beethoven on water glasses.
06:50I'm not even sure
06:52Beethoven could have done that.
06:54And look at this one.
06:56She's so
06:58beautiful and...
07:00and poised.
07:02Wait.
07:04Is that you?
07:06What?
07:08Yes!
07:10That is me winning Junior Miss
07:12West Southeast Texas
07:14for the fifth time!
07:16So embarrassing!
07:20How did I get in there?
07:22We may never know.
07:26I-I don't know about this.
07:28How am I
07:30supposed to compete with girls like that?
07:32They've been doing this forever,
07:34and I only have a couple days.
07:36I don't look like a fool.
07:38Whoa, now. Hold it right there.
07:40What this video isn't showing you
07:42is that I was just as nervous
07:44as you are now before every pageant.
07:46But I still stuck with it.
07:48And trust me,
07:50if you're half as strong
07:52as Newt says you are,
07:54you'll be a contender in no time.
07:56Cross my heart. Hope to die my roots.
08:00Thanks, Brenda. That helps a lot.
08:02Now, first, we're gonna work on your posture.
08:04I'll go to the car and grab the balancing books.
08:06Let's start easy.
08:08Three battles should do it.
08:14Wow. Brenda's pep talk
08:16was surprisingly...
08:18mother-ish?
08:22It kind of was.
08:24Maybe you misjudged her?
08:26Maybe I did.
08:28You know what?
08:30I'm gonna tell my dad I was wrong.
08:32Brenda does deserve her own house key.
08:44All right, guys. Good practice.
08:46Same time tomorrow.
08:48Ooh, look, Troy. Let's see if we can get some pointers
08:50on how to stand in line
08:52and wave shiny strips of paper.
08:54Hey, guys.
08:56Here's the routine you have to learn by Friday.
08:58If I were you, I'd start practicing...
09:00yesterday.
09:02Practice?
09:04Please. We've seen you toss and tumble
09:06a million times.
09:08Interesting. Tell me, then.
09:10In a Swedish fall, which one of you is the base
09:12and which one of you is the flyer?
09:14I'm the base.
09:18What we mean is...
09:20Our routine has two bases.
09:22Two, two.
09:26I can't wait to see them in those outfits
09:28Two. Good luck.
09:30Two bases.
09:32Ridiculous.
09:34Okay, let's start
09:36with the Swedish fall.
09:38Okay.
09:40Let's see.
09:42All right.
09:44Okay.
09:46Oh, I don't like that.
09:50Maybe you lift me.
09:52Yeah, okay.
09:54Hey!
09:56Maybe you should try the hips.
09:58Yeah, yeah.
10:00Okay.
10:02One, two, three.
10:04Oh!
10:06Okay.
10:08All right, shake it off.
10:10We'll get this, all right?
10:12We're real athletes.
10:14But maybe we should practice for a couple hours?
10:16Or all night.
10:18That, too.
10:26Okay.
10:34Thanks.
10:38Do I have to fill out all these forms?
10:40I mean,
10:42why do they need my blood type?
10:44It's a Texas beauty pageant.
10:46Last year,
10:48I took a high heel to the foot
10:50and lost a pant.
10:52Excuse me, Miss Dawson.
10:54There's a teensy mistake
10:56on your form.
10:58You listed football
11:00as your talent.
11:02Oh, that's no mistake.
11:04I'm my school's quarterback, so I'm planning
11:06a football presentation.
11:08Oh, well,
11:10we have a list of approved
11:12talents for young ladies.
11:14And trust me,
11:16football is hardly ladylike.
11:18Not ladylike?
11:20Well, I disagree.
11:22Excuse us for one second,
11:24Carol Lee.
11:30Can you believe she said that?
11:32I'm a young lady, and I love football.
11:34That's my talent.
11:36Oh.
11:38When you told me that, I thought you were joking.
11:42I thought your talent was comedy.
11:46Honey, I know you love football.
11:48We all do.
11:50But we got to stick to the rules.
11:52But that's what I...
11:54I am your pageant coach, and I wouldn't steer you wrong.
11:56You need to trust me.
11:58You want to win that scholarship money, right?
12:02And no football.
12:06Brenda Jean Van Der Rohe,
12:08you are my idol.
12:10Will you sign my high heel score?
12:18I can't believe
12:20the pageant won't let me perform
12:22my football talent.
12:24I mean, winning that scholarship
12:26would be great,
12:28but how could I pretend to be someone I'm not?
12:30Woo!
12:32You can pretend to be me.
12:34I've always wanted to win a tiara.
12:36Oh, so pretty.
12:40I don't know why we're still debating this.
12:42It's obvious what you have to do.
12:44It is?
12:46You tell off the judge,
12:48then bulldoze the pageant into a pile of hypocrisy
12:50and hair extensions.
12:56I'm not about to bulldoze anything.
12:58But...
13:00I can't be someone I'm not.
13:04I'm dropping out of the pageant.
13:06Good choice.
13:08I'm proud of you, Bella.
13:10I don't think Pepper agrees with you, though.
13:12So pretty.
13:16Okay, sweetie, give me that.
13:18Don't you touch it.
13:26I don't get it.
13:28This is when Troy and Sora
13:30are supposed to show us their cheer routine.
13:32Figures.
13:34I knew they wouldn't make it.
13:40What about now?
13:42You're about to be amazed
13:44by the cheer stylings
13:46of Troy and Sora.
13:48The Cheer Boys.
13:50Five, six, seven...
13:52All day,
13:54every day.
13:56All the way to the roof.
13:58All the way to the roof.
14:00Big time.
14:02Pepper?
14:04What is happening?
14:06Good evening.
14:08We actually look kind of...
14:10good.
14:18Remember, bro, do it with passion
14:20or not at all.
14:22Ready?
14:24Three, two...
14:26La da da!
14:30La...
14:32Da da da!
14:34Double the fun!
14:38Mighty Thor!
14:44Ha ha ha!
14:50Ha ha ha!
14:52Ha ha ha!
14:54Oh man, I think I broke my base.
15:01I'll take one large goofy cheer outfit please.
15:05Who am I kidding, I'm a medium.
15:10Relax tackle dummies, we're not making you go through with the bet.
15:15You're not?
15:16No, we just wanted you to realize cheerleading is a real sport.
15:20And we deserve to be treated like the athletes we are.
15:23Yeah, we support every sport, but nobody ever supports us.
15:28Come on Sophie.
15:34I'm still seeing spots.
15:44And then they said my smile almost blinded two of the judges.
15:48So embarrassing.
15:54Oh, hey there sweetie.
15:56Hi Brenda, do you mind if I borrow Newt for a sec?
15:59Oh, y'all go ahead and chat. I'm gonna go stock up on some of those little ketchup packets.
16:03We need some for the kitchenette and the yacht, you know.
16:10I think she might be a kleptomaniac, but hey, we all have our flaws.
16:16So listen, about the pageant...
16:21Isn't it great? This pageant is actually bringing Brenda and I closer together.
16:26I'm starting to see her more as a reasonably mother-like figure
16:30and less as a continually uninvited house guest.
16:34And all thanks to you.
16:36Wow, sounds like this pageant is an even bigger deal for you than me.
16:42Sounds like this pageant is an even bigger deal for you than it is for me.
16:46That's what my therapist says.
16:52So, uh, what did you want to tell me about the pageant?
16:54I... I can't wait to figure out my pageant talent.
16:59Don't you worry, honey. Mama's already figured it out.
17:03You're gonna twirl, girl.
17:08Yay!
17:11Matan's twirling!
17:13You can thank me in your victory speech.
17:15Just kidding, you don't have to, but you should.
17:26All right, girls, we've been training for this cheer meet all week.
17:30Let's make this crowd remember our names!
17:33Yo, Sophie and Pepper!
17:35Yo, Sophie and Pepper!
17:37Yeah!
17:39Pepper, what is happening?
17:44What? You guys said no one ever supports cheerleading.
17:47So we are here as the official cheerleaders for cheerleading.
17:51Go cheerleading!
17:53That's super sweet of you guys.
17:56And you're rocking those outfits.
17:59Oh, that's our cue. We're on.
18:02Okay, remember, point your toes.
18:04And do it with passion or not at all.
18:09Score! Score!
18:11Score!
18:12It's an A!
18:13It's an A!
18:14It's a D!
18:15It's a D!
18:16Boom!
18:17So that's a base.
18:19Man, you're way off.
18:23Yeah!
18:25Go, go, go!
18:27Yeah!
18:29Boom!
18:31And that's why I believe if every country would just stop batting each other,
18:37we'll finally have world peace.
18:42The question was, who designed your dress?
18:47But wasn't that inspiring?
18:54Bella, good news.
18:56Brenda's texting me from the crowd.
18:58She's been peeking over the judges' shoulders all night,
19:00and you're in the lead.
19:06All you need is a decent score in the talent portion,
19:09and you're gonna win.
19:11Yeah, my talent.
19:14Bella, is everything okay?
19:17Just a little nervous.
19:20No, I've seen you nervous before tons of games.
19:23You always do that gross thing where you chew on your hair.
19:28What's really wrong?
19:30Oh, it's nothing.
19:33Uh, it's just that...
19:36Bella?
19:38I wanted to show off my football talent,
19:40but the judge said it wasn't ladylike, and Brenda agreed,
19:42but I couldn't drop out because you and Brenda were bonding,
19:45and if I did, your whole life would be broken forever.
19:50Whoa.
19:51That was a clear and concise summary of all your emotional turmoil.
19:57Sorry, Newt.
19:58I don't think I can go through with this.
20:01I'm not a baton twirler,
20:03and I can't be something I'm not.
20:05I would never ask you to, Bella.
20:08I mean, sure, I've enjoyed getting along with Brenda for once,
20:12but if she can't handle my friend being herself,
20:15then maybe she doesn't deserve that house key.
20:21Thanks, Newt.
20:23I just wish there was something I could do instead of dropping out.
20:27You know, there's still 30 minutes before you go on.
20:31Let's show them the real Bella.
20:34The glitz and the grit.
20:36How?
20:37Do you still have your original presentation stuff?
20:41Ooooooooh
20:50A dozen half-full water glasses?
20:54Musical and optimistic.
20:59And now for the dazzling baton work of Bella Ann Dawson.
21:08Hi, y'all.
21:09My name is Bella Dawson and I was supposed to baton twirl for you today, but that's not who I am
21:17This is
21:39a
22:09I
22:27Hope you enjoyed your little moment here, but we talked about this
22:33We have rules to keep this pageant ladylike
22:37With all due respect
22:39Who are you to decide? What's a lady like?
22:43Just because I'm a football player doesn't make me less of a girl
22:47Well, it does make you disqualified. I knew you would disqualify me, but I don't regret a thing
22:55Well, I regret it. I
22:58Regret ever letting Bella enter this pageant. Oh
23:02nice one
23:07We have forgotten what pageants are all about
23:10Showing your best self
23:12Well, this young lady here just showed you her football slinging
23:16silver boot wearing best self
23:19I'm sorry. I didn't see that earlier Bella
23:23And you know what?
23:25I've decided I'm gonna start my own pageant where girls can be who they really are
23:31Oh
23:33Well, good luck finding contestants. I'm in I hate musical glasses
23:39I wanted to recite pie to a hundred digits
23:46And I want to play a guitar solo with my teeth
23:53See that in my new pageant, what do you say girls who's with me?
24:02I
24:08Was amazing, thank you. Yeah, not bad stepmom
24:17Actually, I said
24:19No
24:29So new things so good with you and Brenda, I guess you could say that
24:33Oh
24:46Listen all this pageant talk has inspired me to get back in the game. I entered mrs. West Southeast, Texas
24:53second wife edition
24:57It really is a pattern for everything in Texas
25:00You're gonna crush it Brenda, we're gonna crush it I entered you too. I'm sorry who?
25:08There's a mother-son talent performance and I thought we'd do some magic tricks
25:14You are see you later nudie
25:22Call therapist
25:26This might take a while
