00:00So, are you scared?
00:07About what?
00:08The first day of school.
00:10The Singletons have just moved up from Kansas City.
00:13I know we'll all do our best to show them why small town life beats the big city any
00:18day.
00:19Mom, I don't like this place.
00:22Honey, you haven't even given it a chance yet.
00:25Mr. Singleton, I am Mrs. Hardcastle.
00:28There are a couple of things you need to know right off.
00:31The little mousy mousy act doesn't cut it here.
00:35You're wearing dress shoes during gym?
00:37Oh, God.
00:42I can't believe my baby's starting high school.
00:44Mom.
00:45Stick with me, kiddo.
00:47I'll show you the ropes.
00:49Someone needs to euthanize that woman.
00:51Put her out of our misery.
00:53I swear.
00:54Oh, jeez.
00:55He saw me.
00:56Who?
00:57Mr. Doyle.
00:58The band teacher?
00:59So?
01:00So?
01:01Now he knows that I'm both in band and choir.
01:03You can't do that.
01:04Yes, you can.
01:06Not in his world you don't.
01:08I've crossed over to the dark side.
01:10Oh, please.
01:22See?
01:23He's a pussycat.
01:26Irma.
01:27I didn't notice you standing there.
01:30Break a leg tomorrow night, okay?
01:32You too.
01:34Mind if I help you out with that?
01:37Such a kidder.
01:39You gonna take me with you?
01:41If you're good.
01:42No more stunts like you pulled with Irma.
01:45You're never gonna let me live that down, are you?
01:47Besides, I'm not the one who melted two bars of X-flax into our hot chocolate before a sold-out show.
01:54If God can strike me with lightning right now, I don't care.
01:58All is fair in love and war.
02:00And this involves both, so I can't be held accountable for my actions.
