3. She said she couldn't

4. because he said that?

5. No, because...

6. Oh, my gosh! Look!

7. Sign-ups for the Lucky Junior High talent show start today.

8. This is a big year, girls.

9. Our first-ever junior high school performance.

10. Standing before me here and now

11. do you hereby pledge to make this

12. the most spectacular show in the history of our friendship?

13. I do!

14. You betcha I do!

15. Then it's decided.

16. This year, we're going to win that shiny trophy

17. we've had our eye on since kindergarten.

18. Ooh...

19. Missed a spot, upper left nostril.

20. Hmm. So...

21. what do you think we should do for the talent show?

22. I was thinking we could model pre-teen couture.

23. Isn't it supposed to be a talentshow?

24. Modeling is a talent, Miranda— a very bankable one.

25. Here's a notion:

26. why not ask Ginger Foutley

27. to join our little spectacle?

28. I'm sure she'd be delighted

29. since you two are such good friends and all.

30. Great idea!

31. How uncharacteristically generous of you.

32. Oh, Ginger...

33. a word with Courtney.

34. Hi, Courtney. Hi, Miranda.

35. Courtney has wonderful news. Courtney?

36. Thank you, Miranda, and congratulations, Ginger.

37. You have been selected to appear with Miranda and me

38. in our talent show extravaganza!

39. Wow, that's really nice of you.

40. That's right, it is.

41. This is your chance

42. to shine with the stars, Ginger.

43. You may want to rejoice.

44. I wish I could, but the thing is

45. I sort of have this thing.

46. See, I always do the talent show with my friends.

47. Are you saying that we're notyour friends?

48. Doesn't it sound

49. like that's what Ginger's saying?

50. It most certainly does.

51. And I'm experiencing an incredibly unfamiliar emotion right now, Ginger.

52. Um, I didn't mean to hurt your...

53. Don't upset her more!

54. It's called rejection, honey.

55. Well, I don't like it one bit.

56. Miranda, what does someone do after they've been...

57. Rejected? Typically, they stop talking

58. to the person that rejected them

59. and storm angrily away.

60. Can do!

61. But... but you...

62. Okay, in all fairness

63. last year's "Viva La Mime" did fall a little flat.

64. How about an interpretive dance

65. to The Little Seal Girl theme song?

66. We already know all the words by heart.

67. Ooh, I like!

68. I like very much!

69. Ginger?

70. Uh... sure, that, that sounds good.

71. Ginger? What aren't you telling us?

72. It's just...

73. Courtney Gripling is mad at me

74. because I wouldn't be in her talent show skit.

75. Mad at you?

76. Nobody can get mad when something is a BFT.

77. That's the whole magic of a Best Friend Tradition.

78. I tried to tell her

79. but she thought I was rejecting her.

80. How dare you reject Courtney Gripling?

81. Who do you think you are?

82. Sorry... I've been conditioned.

83. Look, Ginger, when Courtney sees how great our act is

84. she'll understand this BFT is a really special one

85. and she'll forget all about being mad at you.

86. You really think so?

87. Nope, but denial can be a great healer.

88. So, all in favor of doing interpretive dance

89. to the Little Seal Girl theme song say "arf"!

90. Arf!

91. You know what the coolest thing about eating beets is?

92. Carl, we're eating. I'm warning you.

93. What, Mom?

94. I was just going to say

95. they're packed with vitamin C.

96. Hmm...

97. And when you go to the bathroom...

98. Mom!

99. That's it, Carl, I mean it.

100. One more gross-out and it's no dessert.

101. Well, what's dessert? Uh-uh.

102. What? I may not like it.

103. I may opt for the gross-out instead.

104. Ginger, would you care

105. to direct the conversation

106. in a more palatable direction?

107. Well, uh, Dodie, Macie and I are getting ready

108. for the junior high

109. talent show.

110. Did I mention that my teacher

111. has a dead hand?

112. She's bringing it in this week.

113. That's it, Carl, you lose.

114. And it was German chocolate, so there.

115. It's not a dead hand, Carl.

116. It's mummified.

117. I had Mrs. Gordon in fourth grade.

118. Dead, mummified, what's the diff?

119. All I know is, anyone who touches it is cursed.

120. That's a total lie.

121. You ever touch it?

122. No.

123. So how do you know?

124. It's great to know

125. where my tax dollars are going.

126. Mummified hand.

127. Some curriculum.

128. Hey, mummification is educational, Mom.

129. For example, did you know

130. that part of the embalming process

131. involves removing the brains?

132. The ancient Egyptians used to scoop them out

133. through the nose...

134. Mom...!

135. You just couldn't quit while you were ahead.

136. And I was going to give it to you.

137. I'm thinking we should flap our fins

138. a lot faster in the second chorus.

139. What do you think, Ginger?

140. I don't know...

141. Maybe we should...

142. Hello, Ginger.

143. So nice to see you and your friend.

144. Got your little skit all set for the talent show?

145. Well, we've got something in the works, but...

146. Courtney, about yesterday, I...

147. Now, Ginger, don't be so modest.

148. We're planning something really spectacular, Courtney.

149. Here's a hint.

150. Arf, arf, arf, arf!

151. I'm sorry, I don't follow.

152. The Little Seal Girl, silly.

153. She's half girl, half seal?

154. She sings that cute little song

155. about friendship and fish and...

156. Let's show them our jazz fins.

157. Cha...!

158. I'm feeling a very unfamiliar emotion again, Miranda.

159. I think you may be embarrassed for them.

160. I know I am.

161. Dodie...

162. do you think we're too old for The Little Seal Girl?

163. It's possible, though this is

164. the first I'm hearing about it.

165. Wow, Macie... that's some costume.

166. I made it out of hypoallergenic polyurethane blend

167. to create the wet look.

168. It's, uh... quite a sight.

169. This is nothing.

170. Wait until you see the dance moves I've been working up.

171. Go, Macie, go, Macie.

172. Go, Seal Girl.

173. Arf.

174. Arf-arf, then...

175. Arf...

176. Uh, maybe we should

177. reconsider our routine.

178. The Little Seal Girl is starting to feel...

179. Kind of babyish.

180. Yeah.

181. I'm not sure I understand.

182. Well, see, Macie, we were talking, and...

183. maybe we've outgrown the Little Seal Girl.

184. Shame on you!

185. That spunky little girl with the infectious smile

186. who just happens to be half seal

187. has been our whole lives

188. since the second grade.

189. Exactly!

190. We need to find something

191. a little more... seventh grade.

192. But we voted on it.

193. Well, let's revote.

194. Um, all in favor of ditching

195. the Little Seal Girl

196. for an act that's slightly more...

197. mature, say aye.

198. Aye.

199. Sorry, Macie.

200. A vote's a vote.

201. I thought BFT stands for Best Friend Tradition.

202. Well, no friend says aye

203. when the other friend says nay!

204. Nay, you hear?

205. Seal Girl lives on!

206. Come in, Hoodsey.

207. Do we have confirmation? Over.

208. I believe we have movement.

209. Copy that, Hoodsey.

210. I need an ETA, over.

211. A lot of it depends on how fast she walks and stuff... whoa!

212. What, what is it, Hoods? Over.

213. There's a dead bird, like

214. two feet away from me.

215. Oh, stay focused, Hoodsey.

216. Oh, okay.

217. Mrs. Gordon should be arriving

218. sometime in the next ten to...

219. Over and out.

220. Carl, that bird smells really bad.

221. You got to come take a whiff.

222. Hoodsey, please, we're here about the hand.

223. I don't want to see the hand, Carl.

224. I can't afford another curse.

225. I told you about the black cat incident

226. that let to a whole semester of summer school.

227. Scat, the lot of you!

228. Okay, okay, you're crowding the hand!

229. Right this way, ma'am.

230. Animals, Mrs. Gordon.

231. I'm afraid you and your lovely hand just aren't safe.

232. I have a good mind to call the whole thing off.

233. Maybe not a bad idea.

234. What he means is, may not be a bad idea...

235. to consider beefing up security a bit.

236. Follow, Gordo?

237. May I call you Gordo?

238. No.

239. Fair enough.

240. Look, Hoodsey and I are prepared to offer you

241. our platinum security package.

242. This includes round-the-clock surveillance

243. and one continental breakfast.

244. Not interested.

245. You're one tough customer, Mrs. G.

246. May I call you Mrs. G.?

247. We're all friends here.

248. I'd prefer you didn't.

249. Understood.

250. We really just want a sneak peek at...

251. You can forget it, Carl.

252. Hoodsey, be a dear and show Carl the door.

253. It's here, Carl.

254. Mrs. Gordon, you parked in the principal's spot again.

255. He needs you to move your car.

256. Fourteen years at this school

257. and you think they'd give me my own parking space.

258. Boys, I'm trusting you.

259. That hand is to stay in that drawer until tomorrow, as planned.

260. Do I make myself clear?

261. Crystal.

262. That means hands off the hand, Foutley

263. or else.

264. She said "or else," Carl.

265. That sounded like a threat.

266. Come to papa...

267. Carl, no!

268. You have your whole life ahead of you.

269. I'm going to shake hands with that hand

270. and if it be cursed, then bring it on!

271. Ah...

272. Oh...

273. Oops.

274. I told you not to touch it.

275. She's definitely going to notice.

276. Perhaps we should store the nub in my locker

277. and then take it home to my la-bor-atory.

278. There I can repair the creepy treasure

279. and soak up the remainder of its evil energy.

280. Carl, stop, you're scaring me.

281. Ah, Hoodsey, we always fear

282. that which we do not understand.

283. Aah... oop!

284. Cursed, I tell ya.

285. Ta-da!

286. We thought you could be in the center

287. and wear scarlet- colored fishnets.

288. Fishnets? Don't make me laugh.

289. Macie, please?

290. It will be really cool.

291. With the three of us...

292. Cool? Cool?

293. Do I look like a girl

294. who's concerned with what's cool?

295. I think not.

296. My flippers are planted

297. firmly on the ground, thank you very much.

298. Hi...

299. Let me know when you play Carnegie Hall.

300. Officer Lois, how do?

301. What are you doing with my spatula?

302. Classified, I'm afraid.

303. But I can tell you that Nurse Hoodsey and I

304. will be in surgery for the rest of the day

305. so if you need to reach me, leave a message at the office.

306. Operating on what, doctor?

307. I need to know, for my surveillance report.

308. Well, if you must know, it's a dead hand.

309. I'm mending it for a friend.

310. Okay... but the hand is already dead, right?

311. I mean, there's no way you could kill it.

312. No, and I'm afraid any more questions

313. would be a violation

314. of the patient's right to privacy.

315. Now, good day.

316. Why do I bother to buff and wax?

317. How come I always have to be the nurse?

318. Is the patient prepped and ready?

319. I told you, Carl, I'm not touching that thing.

320. That's precisely why you're always the nurse, Hoodsey.

321. Sutures.

322. I said sutures, come on!

323. I'm losing him!

324. I can't watch.

325. No good!

326. She's just too thick!

327. Do you think this is going to work?

328. We've done all we can, nurse.

329. Only time will tell.

330. Oh, I can't believe it.

331. We're really not going to have an act

332. in the talent competition.

333. They're still looking for volunteers to pull the curtain.

334. That's kind of a talent, I guess.

335. We could do that.

336. Oh, they're here early.

337. People, people, you're supposed to swoosh on the one.

338. S-woosh!

339. Cut!

340. Brilliant!

341. Or at least I was.

342. We've got it locked.

343. I mean, have you seen the competition?

344. That Little Seal Girl?

345. Puh-lease! What a spaz!

346. She's going to make the biggest fool out of herself.

347. Did you hear that?

348. We have to stop Macie

349. from doing that act.

350. They're all going to laugh at her.

351. You know she won't listen, Ginger.

352. Then we'll just have to take that job as curtain-pullers.

353. That way, if things get ugly...

354. You don't mean...?

355. I do, Dodie.

356. We pull, fast and hard.

357. Oh, it doesn't look that good, Carl.

358. You can see the glue and everything.

359. Don't worry.

360. I'm betting Gordo's eyesight ain't what it used to be.

361. It's a piece of cake.

362. Good morning, boys.

363. Well, today's the big day.

364. I just want to say good morning to this...

365. Carl Foutley!

366. Wait until I get my hand on you!

367. Ooh...

368. Whoa!

369. Cool it.

370. What did I tell you? Cursed.

371. Try not to get entirely filthy.

372. I want you to look halfway presentable at the after-party.

373. Afterparty?

374. Oh...

375. You're right, I am cursed.

376. And now, it's time

377. for the annual Lucky Junior High School Talent Show.

378. Here's your host...

379. Chet Zipper.

380. Here we go.

381. Way to pull that curtain, girls!

382. Rock and roll!

383. Shh...

384. Aloha.

385. Um, good evening, ladies and germs.

386. I'm Chet Zipper, um, part-time seventh-grader

387. and, um, full-time funnyman.

388. Um, how, how you folks, doing out there tonight?

389. Okay.

390. So, um... uh, parents, yeah.

391. What's up with that?

392. Break a leg, Courtney.

393. Ha, you wish.

394. So how come you're not in the talent show, Ginger?

395. I thought it was a BLT.

396. It's kind of a long story

397. but I guess the reason is pretty silly.

398. And good night, Morty Binkerton.

399. Don't bother calling us, we'll call you.

400. Budda-bum, tss...

401. Okay... now, without any further time spent saying things, um

402. here's Courtney Gripling, Miranda Killgallen and company

403. with "Courtney's World."

404. Wow.

405. Okay, Macie's up next.

406. If it seems like she's bombing, start pulling.

407. I am the Little Seal Girl.

408. I amthe Little Seal Girl.

409. Okay, and now for our very own Macie Lightfoot

410. as the Little Seal Girl.

411. Oh...

412. Is this a joke?

413. It's so bad... it's almost good.

414. Oh!

415. Miranda? Is it me or is there

416. something terribly endearing about her?

417. ♪ I know I must stay chipper

418. Yeah!

419. Yay, Macie!

420. Ladies and gentlemen, now it's time to announce the winner.

421. And the trophy goes to...

422. whoa, Macie Lightfoot.

423. Go figure.

424. Oh...

425. You've got to be joking.

426. But I'm Courtney, I'm Courtney!

427. Macie, can we come in?

428. We were really rooting for you.

429. You were great!

430. You undeniably stole the show.

431. I think if the Little Seal Girl was watching tonight

432. oh, she'd have been proud.

433. I'm so sorry.

434. I'm the one who broke the BFT.

435. I forgot the most important letter, the "T"

436. which stands for tradition

437. and tradition says we stick together, Seal Girl or no.

438. We did stick together, Macie.

439. The whole reason Ginger and I

440. worked as curtain pullers

441. was so we could drop it on you if you bombed!

442. But you didn't bomb.

443. You were great.

444. The three of us will get them next year, BFT style.

445. Sorry I was such a hothead.

446. Group hug?

447. Aw, Macie...

448. I was really sweating in my suit.

449. How come we never hug, Miranda?

450. Ew, Courtney.

451. I'm serious.

452. Let's have a looksee.

453. There, there.

454. That's quite enough of that.
