8. let's have a hand
for last month's announcerCopy !req
9. Mr. Chet Zipper.Copy !req
10. Um...Copy !req
11. Ooh.Copy !req
12. Thank you.Copy !req
13. Um... I, I really enjoyedCopy !req
14. making the morning and
afternoon announcements...Copy !req
15. every morning
and afternoon.Copy !req
16. Um, thanks.Copy !req
17. I heard Mipsy and LanieCopy !req
18. got caught talking
during the math finalCopy !req
19. and now they have to take
the whole class over
in summer school.Copy !req
20. No, Ginger, they just have to
make up the past three tests.Copy !req
21. I've got a total "in"
with the janitor.Copy !req
22. You wouldn't believe
the notes people throw out.Copy !req
23. They were passing
notes, too?Copy !req
24. Those girls sure live
in the fast lane.Copy !req
25. Um... the, the new morning
announcement person is...Copy !req
26. Dodie Bishop.Copy !req
27. Me?Copy !req
28. Oh, this is just the most
thrilling moment of my life!Copy !req
29. Luckians, I solemnly promiseCopy !req
30. to uphold the dignity
of this prestigious position.Copy !req
31. Thank you, thank you...Copy !req
32. Thank you!Copy !req
33. Well, Podie,I hope you'll be
an improvement on Brett.Copy !req
34. Oh, pinch me!Copy !req
35. Did Courtney Gripling
just practically
congratulate me?Copy !req
36. Actually,
she practically
congratulated Podie.Copy !req
37. Podie doesn't mind.Copy !req
38. Let's go.Copy !req
39. Hoods, great news!Copy !req
40. I found Siamese earthworms.Copy !req
41. Take a look.Copy !req
42. Sorry, Carl, I can't.Copy !req
43. I have lice and got to
stay away from people.Copy !req
44. Whoa, let me see.Copy !req
45. Six-legged beauties.Copy !req
46. I get to use
this really evil shampooCopy !req
47. and a fine-toothed comb
to get rid of them.Copy !req
48. Man, I hate to see
such prime specimens
go to waste.Copy !req
49. Mind if I
take some samples
before you kill them?Copy !req
50. My lice are your lice.Copy !req
51. Hoods, I am going to breed these
pups and create a lice circus.Copy !req
52. We'll be famous.Copy !req
53. Our names and faces
will be plasteredCopy !req
54. on every billboard in town.Copy !req
55. Once this thing takes off,
there will be no stopping it.Copy !req
56. How about money?Copy !req
57. For a circus, you'll need
tents and rings and...Copy !req
58. So? We get a rich investor
to bankroll the whole thing.Copy !req
59. Blake Gripling, for instance.Copy !req
60. Eee.. ah...Copy !req
61. Sounds good.Copy !req
62. What's it mean?Copy !req
63. Oh, nothing,
I'm just warming up.Copy !req
64. It's important that vocal cords
be malleable.Copy !req
65. An on-air personality
never knows what words
she might have to pronounceCopy !req
66. at a moment's notice.Copy !req
67. In junior high?Copy !req
68. Well, break a leg, Dodie.Copy !req
69. Metaphorically speaking,
of course.Copy !req
70. Oh... oh, Mrs. Fleming,
a word?Copy !req
71. I mean, well, as one
professional to another.Copy !req
72. Um... okay.Copy !req
73. Frankly, um,
the announcements
you gave meCopy !req
74. read a bit, well...
flatCopy !req
75. and since we don't want
people tuning outCopy !req
76. mind if I tweak them
a bit?Copy !req
77. Fine.Copy !req
78. Dodie on p.a.:
Good a.m., Luckians.Copy !req
79. Dodie Bishop here.Copy !req
80. Um, the chocolate pudding
on the cafeteria ceilingCopy !req
81. will be cleaned off as soon as
the janitor can find his ladderCopy !req
82. which is—
quote, unquote— missing.Copy !req
83. Has anyone checked
the boy's bathroom?Copy !req
84. Until that time, please
don't sit under the pudding,
as it may drip.Copy !req
85. A drip of chocolate puddingCopy !req
86. nearly landed
on Courtney Gripling.Copy !req
87. Hmm...Copy !req
88. But, miraculouslyCopy !req
89. the drip slanted sideways
at the last momentCopy !req
90. completely missing her...Copy !req
91. And my
all-cream ensemble.Copy !req
92. and her all-cream ensemble.Copy !req
93. Ooh!Copy !req
94. And now for "Dodie's Word."Copy !req
95. It looks like
the most cute coupleCopy !req
96. hit the rocks on the class trip.Copy !req
97. Amanda Lopez caught her steady
of four months, Robert FrischCopy !req
98. kissing Dionne Whitley
behind the stuffed moose
at the natural history museum...Copy !req
99. How does she know that?Copy !req
100. I don't even know that.Copy !req
101. That girl's good!Copy !req
102. Courtney really
said that?Copy !req
103. Uh-huh.Copy !req
104. I know some gossip.Copy !req
105. It's about that whole
Mipsy/Lanie math final thing.Copy !req
106. It seems that we were way off...Copy !req
107. Wait!Copy !req
108. Uh, aren't
the school announcementsCopy !req
109. just supposed to be, well,
school announcements?Copy !req
110. Oh, Ginger,
that is so retro.Copy !req
111. Okay, now go aheadCopy !req
112. and don't leave out
anything.Copy !req
113. Oh, okay, but, um, this is
strictly off the record.Copy !req
114. I'm telling you, Blake, old boy.Copy !req
115. This is a very hot
investment opportunity.Copy !req
116. It's guaranteed
to make millions.Copy !req
117. And I'm letting only
quality individuals
in on it.Copy !req
118. Hmm... I'm intrigued.Copy !req
119. But what's your plan,
Foutley?Copy !req
120. To breed them and create
the world's first—Copy !req
121. and so far, only—
lice circus.Copy !req
122. Whoa! I... oof!Copy !req
123. Egads!Copy !req
124. Even a week ago, I might have
found this a tempting investmentCopy !req
125. but right now,
my maggot farmCopy !req
126. is consuming all my time
and spare cash.Copy !req
127. Maggots?Copy !req
128. Are you sure you want
the Gripling nameCopy !req
129. attached to something
so... common?Copy !req
130. Ah, but maggots don't
stay maggots forever,
Foutley, do they now?Copy !req
131. They metamorphose into flies!Copy !req
132. I'm not seeing the
fame angle here, Blake.Copy !req
133. You can watch flies for
free at the city dump.Copy !req
134. And we've done it, too.Copy !req
135. Ah, but herein lies
the ingenious part.Copy !req
136. Soon I'm going to introduce
food dye into their diets.Copy !req
137. When they turn into fliesCopy !req
138. their wings will be
spectacular colors.Copy !req
139. It will only be
a matter of timeCopy !req
140. before Blake Gripling
becomes knownCopy !req
141. by a more famous
moniker...Copy !req
142. Fly Boy!Copy !req
143. Doesn't sound
very interesting.Copy !req
144. Well, good luck, Foutley.Copy !req
145. May the best plan win.Copy !req
146. You don't stand
a chance, Gripling!Copy !req
147. In the battle between
you and me...Copy !req
148. it's going to be me.Copy !req
149. Today's lunch will be Chef Bob'sCopy !req
150. own specialty, chili con carne—Copy !req
151. a tasty recipe he got
from a jailed embezzlerCopy !req
152. while working as sous chefCopy !req
153. at the state's
minimum security prison.Copy !req
154. I didn't know Chef Bob
was a sous chef.Copy !req
155. I didn't know he
had a specialty.Copy !req
156. I wonder if Chef Bob really
wanted everyone to knowCopy !req
157. he used to work
at a prison.Copy !req
158. Luckians! Major news!Copy !req
159. Lucky Junior High has gotten
word that lice are on the loose.Copy !req
160. And, therefore, tomorrowCopy !req
161. there will be a lice check
by the school nurse.Copy !req
162. There will be absolutely
no exceptions.Copy !req
163. From now on, I wash my hair
four times a dayCopy !req
164. instead of the usual two.Copy !req
165. That should do it.Copy !req
166. Everyone knows lice
are only attractedCopy !req
167. to messy grossoids
with no fashion sense.Copy !req
168. Try not to panic, Macie.Copy !req
169. Okay, but you do realizeCopy !req
170. this is how the bubonic
plague started...Copy !req
171. more or less.Copy !req
172. Archery?Copy !req
173. When will that ever
come up in real life?Copy !req
174. You'd be surprised.Copy !req
175. Do you hear that?Copy !req
176. Someone was taking
a shower?Copy !req
177. That has never happenedCopy !req
178. in the history of
Lucky Junior High... ever.Copy !req
179. Who would be
that desperate?Copy !req
180. Courtney and Miranda.Copy !req
181. I overheard them
talking...Copy !req
182. Courtney,
care to commentCopy !req
183. on making history
by using the shower?Copy !req
184. Well, we are in the
middle of an epidemicCopy !req
185. and La Courtney isn't taking
any chances... Dodie.Copy !req
186. Did you hear that?Copy !req
187. Courtney Gripling
said "Dodie."Copy !req
188. She knows who I am.Copy !req
189. Now for a special announcement.Copy !req
190. The school nurse
is sick with the fluCopy !req
191. and won't be able to conduct
the lice check.Copy !req
192. But at the very last minuteCopy !req
193. we were able to land that
incomparable angel of mercy,
Lois Foutley, R.N.Copy !req
194. Ginger's mother is going to be
the Nit Nurse?Copy !req
195. Oh...Copy !req
196. Oh, poor Ginger,
how embarrassing.Copy !req
197. Her mother, the Lice Lady.Copy !req
198. My mother...
checking for lice?Copy !req
199. Did Dodie have to
announce it to everyone?Copy !req
200. Why did the whole school
need to know?Copy !req
201. They would have
found out anywayCopy !req
202. but thanks to you,
I've got 24 hours to suffer.Copy !req
203. Ginger, it's a hot story.Copy !req
204. I can't not report itCopy !req
205. just because it's about
a friend's mother.Copy !req
206. We're talking about
mymother, Dodie.Copy !req
207. You should know how
I feel about herCopy !req
208. being the...
Lice Wrangler.Copy !req
209. Dodie called Courtney
a trendsetterCopy !req
210. not a fashion maven.Copy !req
211. Well, you seem to be
the only oneCopy !req
212. who doesn't like the way
I do my job, Ginger. Hmph!Copy !req
213. Oh...Copy !req
214. Blakey boy!Copy !req
215. What a coincidence.Copy !req
216. We were about to check up
on the lice.Copy !req
217. Care to join us?Copy !req
218. Whoa!Copy !req
219. I couldn't muster the interest.Copy !req
220. I merely dropped by to invite
you to my "Cirque du Fly."Copy !req
221. I'll try to fit it in.Copy !req
222. But, you know,
since you're here...Copy !req
223. Take a lookCopy !req
224. at these babies.Copy !req
225. Come on, little guys.Copy !req
226. Up and at 'em!Copy !req
227. My sympathies.Copy !req
228. I shall send you
a fruit basket.Copy !req
229. Looks like
your lice circus
is, um... fini.Copy !req
230. How could this have happened?Copy !req
231. Oh...Copy !req
232. Well, tomorrow
I introduce the dyeCopy !req
233. into the maggots' food.Copy !req
234. After that,
Gripling will beCopy !req
235. the most famous name
in town, I dare say.Copy !req
236. Shall I save two seats
for you?Copy !req
237. Take a hike, Blake.Copy !req
238. Tough break,
old chap.Copy !req
239. I guess this puts him
one ahead of you, Carl.Copy !req
240. Oh, Hoods,
I may be down,
but I am not out.Copy !req
241. You might as well
shred that invite.Copy !req
242. There isn't going to be
any Cirque du Fly.Copy !req
243. Ginger, wait up!Copy !req
244. You got to show meCopy !req
245. where the nurse's office is.Copy !req
246. No can do, Mom.Copy !req
247. I'm late.Copy !req
248. Hi, Dodie.Copy !req
249. You remember Ginger.Copy !req
250. Hello, Macie.Copy !req
251. I'm happy to report that I
just underwent the lice checkCopy !req
252. and I am nit-free.Copy !req
253. It was completely painless.Copy !req
254. Macie, think about it.Copy !req
255. I can't tell Dodie
anything anymore.Copy !req
256. It will end up in
the morning announcements.Copy !req
257. Where's the friendship
in that?Copy !req
258. Friends don't have
friends who blab.Copy !req
259. Please line up
in your home roomsCopy !req
260. and proceed to the nurse's
office in an orderly manner.Copy !req
261. What, what?Copy !req
262. Oh, sorry...Copy !req
263. I thought I saw
something move.Copy !req
264. I pity anyone
who has lice.Copy !req
265. They'll be ruined
for junior highCopy !req
266. high school and life.Copy !req
267. Try to remember me
fondly, Ginger.Copy !req
268. Just as I expected.Copy !req
269. Perfect!Copy !req
270. Next!Copy !req
271. Hello, Mrs. Foutley.Copy !req
272. Prepare to be blinded
by my glossy highlights.Copy !req
273. And kudos on pulling off white
after Labor Day.Copy !req
274. Uh... thanks.Copy !req
275. I'm so sorry to waste your time
like this, Mrs. Foutley.Copy !req
276. I mean, no louse has been
within a mile of my hair.Copy !req
277. Well, why don't we have
a look-see?Copy !req
278. Just to be safe.Copy !req
279. I've been
positively aggressiveCopy !req
280. with my daily
hygiene routine.Copy !req
281. No follicle has been
left unturned.Copy !req
282. Hmm... sorry, Courtney,
but you have nits.Copy !req
283. But that's... impossible.Copy !req
284. You must be wrong.Copy !req
285. Perhaps you're just
not clear on the factCopy !req
286. that I'm famous
for being pretty, popularCopy !req
287. and spotlessly clean.Copy !req
288. The thing of it is,
lice love clean hair.Copy !req
289. Makes it easier
to move around.Copy !req
290. Let me see
if I understand you.Copy !req
291. The fact that I've been
showering obsessively
to keep the lice at bayCopy !req
292. has actually led me down
the cootie path of no return?Copy !req
293. Ain't life screwy?Copy !req
294. You'd have been better off
rolling around in mud.Copy !req
295. It's why I never about my Carl.Copy !req
296. Please don't tell anyone
about this.Copy !req
297. I'll be ruined!Copy !req
298. I won't say a word—
nurse's honor.Copy !req
299. Just be sure to wash your hair
with this medicated shampoo.Copy !req
300. Oh, launder
all your bedding.Copy !req
301. I'll get Chambermaid
on it straight away.Copy !req
302. So how did it go?Copy !req
303. Oh... how do you think?Copy !req
304. Let's go, Ginger.Copy !req
305. And no ditching me
this time.Copy !req
306. Congratulations,
kiddo.Copy !req
307. Not a nit in sight.Copy !req
308. Whew...Copy !req
309. You can say that again.Copy !req
310. Especially since you
been hanging aroundCopy !req
311. with that Gripling
girl so much.Copy !req
312. No... way!Copy !req
313. Courtney Gripling
has lice?Copy !req
314. Oh... me and my yap!Copy !req
315. I can't believe I broke
the nurse's code of honor!Copy !req
316. Swear you won't say
a word to anyone.Copy !req
317. I would never do that.Copy !req
318. Good, 'cause
that Courtney's
one high-strung kid.Copy !req
319. Okay, Hoods, time for
Operation Maggot Morph.Copy !req
320. Yuck!Copy !req
321. Hmm, it's
kind of a shame.Copy !req
322. There was something
to the idea.Copy !req
323. Oh, well... light bulb.Copy !req
324. I still don't get it.Copy !req
325. What's this got to do
with the maggots?Copy !req
326. The light will
warm them up a bit.Copy !req
327. These maggots are going to
turn into fly boysCopy !req
328. before they even get to
taste that dye.Copy !req
329. And we are going to have
a command performance.Copy !req
330. Find any good notes,
Mr. Pringle?Copy !req
331. Oh, the pressure is
unbelievable.Copy !req
332. I mean, I had no ideaCopy !req
333. the students are hanging
on my every word.Copy !req
334. Only I'm short on words
these days.Copy !req
335. Sorry, Dodie.Copy !req
336. Hmm...Copy !req
337. Hmm.Copy !req
338. Oh...Copy !req
339. "The following studentsCopy !req
340. were found to have liceCopy !req
341. "and should be kept
out of close contactCopy !req
342. "with other students.Copy !req
343. "Steven Applebaum,
Joannie Asper, Patricia Bucci,Copy !req
344. "Reggie Cameron, David Entwhite,
Leon Griffin, Court..."Copy !req
345. Courtney Gripling!Copy !req
346. Oh... I'll go down
in Lucky Junior High history!Copy !req
347. Luckians, I have a very
important announcement to make.Copy !req
348. Through my own investigation,
I've discoveredCopy !req
349. ten students were found to have
lice in yesterday's check.Copy !req
350. I feel the other students
have the right to knowCopy !req
351. so they can guard
against catching it.Copy !req
352. The names will be read
in alphabetical order.Copy !req
353. This is going to make
the rest of my year!Copy !req
354. Steven Applebaum.Copy !req
355. Joannie Asper.Copy !req
356. My name is on that list!Copy !req
357. You've got to stop her!Copy !req
358. She's your friend!Copy !req
359. Well, at the moment,
we're sort of...Copy !req
360. Patricia Bucci.Copy !req
361. Please...Copy !req
362. Reggie Cameron.Copy !req
363. Ginger, you need a pass!Copy !req
364. David Entwhite.Copy !req
365. Hall pass!Copy !req
366. Sorry, emergency!Copy !req
367. Aah...Copy !req
368. Leon Griffin.Copy !req
369. Girl whispers:
Leon touched me!Copy !req
370. Aah... aah...!Copy !req
371. Courtney...Copy !req
372. Oh! Oh, Ginger!Copy !req
373. You have totally destroyed
my big moment!Copy !req
374. Your big moment
humiliating people?Copy !req
375. I... I mean... the students
have a right to know.Copy !req
376. But that's not
why you're doing it.Copy !req
377. You've gone overboard, Dodie.Copy !req
378. Oh! You don't respect me
at all, Ginger Foutley!Copy !req
379. I don't think we can
ever be friends again!Copy !req
380. We're not friends now!Copy !req
381. Ugh!Copy !req
382. Oh!Copy !req
383. Oh... oh!Copy !req
384. Drat! Drat! Double drat!Copy !req
385. I should have known.Copy !req
386. This is rife with
your handiwork, Foutley!Copy !req
387. You better believe it,
Blakey-boy.Copy !req
388. Never try to one-up
the One-up King.Copy !req
389. Aah! Ooh, oh...Copy !req
390. Coming...Copy !req
391. Courtney...Copy !req
392. Yes, I know.Copy !req
393. Shock, shock.Copy !req
394. Surprise, surprise.Copy !req
395. Well, um...
would you like to come in?Copy !req
396. Actually, I just
came by to tell you...Copy !req
397. well, today and all...
what you did...Copy !req
398. Oh...Copy !req
399. Wow... I don't know
where that came from.Copy !req
400. Anyway, I think we agree
that pretty much covers it.Copy !req
401. Oh... uh...Copy !req
402. Ooh...Copy !req
403. Uh, Ginger...Copy !req
404. As a medical expert,
I got to warn youCopy !req
405. that if you keep
scrubbing like that,
you'll end up bald.Copy !req
406. I just want to be careful.Copy !req
407. I already rechecked you
and you do notCopy !req
408. I repeat,
you do not have lice.Copy !req
409. Besides, you're
running lateCopy !req
410. for your phone call
with Dodie and Macie.Copy !req
411. Unless you and Dodie haven't
patched things up yet.Copy !req
412. How did you know about my fight
with Dodie?Copy !req
413. Oh, Ginger,
the correct question isCopy !req
414. how does a mother
not know?Copy !req
415. I overheard you talking.Copy !req
416. Might be nice
if you made up, though.Copy !req
417. People make mistakes,
you know?Copy !req
418. Even me,
and I'm your mother.Copy !req
419. Hello?Copy !req
420. Hi, Macie.Copy !req
421. Is it just
going to beCopy !req
422. the Two Musketeers
tonight?Copy !req
423. Guess so.Copy !req
424. I'm going to need
a round of antibiotics.Copy !req
425. That's my other line,
hold on.Copy !req
426. Hello?Copy !req
427. Hi, Macie, it's me.Copy !req
428. Oh, good, good,
Ginger's on the other line.Copy !req
429. Oh.Copy !req
430. I'm not sureCopy !req
431. but I think maybe
the reason you calledCopy !req
432. is because you really
want to apologize.Copy !req
433. Well, I...Copy !req
434. Great, hold on!Copy !req
435. Ginger, I'm patching
Dodie in.Copy !req
436. Oh, but I...Copy !req
