TOBY NARRATING: Hi!
I'm Toby.
I'm just a regular student.
Well, I was before I got zapped.
Now I'm some kind of science genius.
The only problem is, Elizabeth is too!
-Sorry.
-So, where is she?
-Who?
-Her.
The reason we come here for breakfast every second day.
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): I just come for the food.
RUSS (OFFSCREEN): Sure.
-What are you doing?
Checking out the competition?
-Just keeping my eyes open.
There's some weird stuff going down around here.
-[laughs]
-That guy know about it.
-Right.
-Ha ha.
You lose.
Ha.
-Impressive.
-Nah.
-Ever thought about doing joining a team?
-I don't need a partner to win.
-There's a competition coming up.
Winner's get two jet skis.
One for me, one for you.
What do you think?
-Sounds all right.
I've got other things to do.
-Look, I'm new around here.
I just thought we could, you know, hang out for a bit.
-You and me?
-You're right.
Forget about it.
Stupid idea.
-No, wait!
It's cool.
Um, I could with a jet ski.
-There's some entry forms at the cafe.
Drop by later.
-Yeah, right.
Um, see you then.
-[sighs]
Too easy.
-Overall I was pleased with your assignments.
-C-plus?
I got a C-plus!
-Excellent work, Elizabeth.
-Thank you, Mr. Woods.
-I've noticed a good deal of intellectual
curiosity in this group.
Indeed, I'm going to ask our most promising student to
share her presentation with us tomorrow.
Sasha, are you agreeable?
-I suppose so.
-Her?
Why her?
-Because Sasha's study was fascinating.
-But is it worth an A?
-A-plus.
Her work showed more flair.
-You never said you were marking on flair.
-A-plus, eh?
That's off-the-scales smart.
-(LAUGHING) Russ.
-You cheated.
-What?
-How else cold you beat me?
-It's called hard work.
-Sash.
Relax.
-Ms. A here should relax.
-I'll get you for this.
-I'm not scared of you.
-You will be.
Garth, Verity.
[snaps]
-Hey, Garth!
Coming down to the cafe?
GARTH (OFFSCREEN): Um, yeah.
-Excuse me?
-We won't be long, will we?
-Garth.
This can't wait.
-Uh, you go ahead.
I'll, um, catch up.
-Elizabeth.
-Mm-hmm?
-I'm not sure I want to have my brain waves measured.
-Well, now's not the time for second thoughts, Verity.
I need to perfect my invention.
-What if something goes wrong?
Will it affect my brain?
-Or maybe your personality?
-Shut up, Garth.
It's a simple calibration.
I've done this a million times.
-Not on a live subject.
-Stop scaring her.
You'll mess up the reading.
-What's that for?
-You'll see.
If Mr. Woods could see me now, he wouldn't
say I lacked flair.
-It's almost midnight.
-So?
-Well, what if my parents call your place and find
out we're not there?
-Verity, have they ever called before?
Now, watch this.
-[giggles]
-Something's happening?
-Soon, Verity.
Soon.
We're waiting for REM sleep to kick in.
-Oh.
-When you dream.
-Oh.
-Oh, there we go.
The soundtrack to a nightmare.
-How come we can hear it?
-Because I've invented a dream catcher, Verity.
[spooky noises]
[dripping]
VERITY (OFFSCREEN): Is that Sasha's dream?
-That's the electromagnetic activity in her brain.
My software can convert it into a simulated display.
All her innermost fears laid out like pictures in a book.
-What are you going to do with them?
-Cut them out-- snip snip--
and play with them.
Oh, now I've got you.
-Didn't see you at the cafe yesterday.
-Uh, things to do.
You know how it is.
-Sure.
Elizabeth keeps you busy, huh?
-It's got nothing to do with Elizabeth.
-Really?
Kind of looked like she was laying down the law.
-I didn't come because I don't like wasting my time.
I don't reckon you're good enough to win.
-You've never even see my play.
-Exactly.
-So let's play.
-Yeah?
When?
-After school.
If you can make it.
-I'll make it.
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): Hey, Sash.
Hey.
Sasha.
-What?
-Are you all right?
You seem distracted.
-I was rehearsing in my head for my presentation.
-Oh.
-What's this?
-Whoa, is that a tooth?
-No.
It's rubbish.
-Sasha, what's going on?
-Nothing.
I'm fine.
And once I get this presentation over with, I'll
be even better, OK?
[class bell]
-There he is.
-You're late.
-I'm here, aren't I?
-Don't mess this up.
-Garth.
-Jack.
SASHA (OFFSCREEN): Keep it simple.
Speak clearly.
Go for the cards if you lose your place.
Did I give you the overheads?
-Sash, you're going to be great.
If you get nervous, just look at me and Russ.
-Or imagine everyone's in their undies.
-I am not looking at you in you're undies.
-Not look, visualize.
-Whatever, it's not going to happen.
-[groans]
-Watch it!
-My cards, they were in order.
-Here, let me help.
-Thank you.
-Oh, Sasha.
Are you ready?
-Um, I--
-Come on now, don't be shy.
-Smile.
-Did you hear that?
-Why would Elizabeth encourage Sash?
-I don't know, but I don't like it.
-Perfect.
-While estimates vary greatly, it's believed that coal will
be the only fossil fuel left to keep us
warm in our old age.
The challenge--
the challenge is [mumbles]--
-Come on, Sash.
-Sir, I have to leave.
MR. WOODS (OFFSCREEN): Right now?
-My tooth's falling out.
-Well, go on then.
-Aw, poor thing.
What bad luck.
[laughing]
-Elizabeth.
[knocking]
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): Sasha, are you in there?
SASHA (OFFSCREEN): Mm-hmm.
-Can I come in?
SASHA (OFFSCREEN): Mm-mm!
Mm-mm.
-I'm coming in.
Come on, Sash.
Let me see Come on.
Oh!
Hey, it's going to be OK.
-It's what I dream about, last night.
MR. WOODS (OFFSCREEN): All right, where is Sasha?
-She's gone to the dentist, sir.
Emergency.
-Here we go.
-Well, looks like you're stuck with me again.
-Excuse me, Mr. Woods.
I could always present my assignment.
-She's planned this whole thing.
MR. WOODS (OFFSCREEN): Well, thank you, Elizabeth.
But, uh, I think it can wait another day.
We'll hear Sasha' presentation tomorrow.
-I don't think so.
-Didn't think you'd come.
-I'm always up for a walkover.
-Always?
Or whenever Elizabeth lets you off the leash?
-Hey!
-Joking.
It's not your fault she's a control freak.
You know, I never would have picked the two of you as
friends.
-We're not.
-But you hang out together.
-We do stuff.
-Like what?
-Look, are you here to talk to play?
-Just getting to know my opponent.
-Heh, trying to put on a thrashing, more like it.
-In your dreams.
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): Sash, it's OK.
I know what happened.
I've worked it out.
Hey.
It's going to be all right.
-I haven't got any teeth.
-No, I know.
And I can guess how you feel.
Well, no, maybe I can't.
Elizabeth did this.
-How?
-If only you wouldn't chew your pen.
Elizabeth got Verity to swap it with yours, when you
dropped all your stuff.
They're identical, except hers contained a chemical compound
to loosen your teeth.
-What?
-Don't worry, anything Elizabeth can do, I can undo.
-Those jet skis are ours.
-Told you I could play.
Another?
-Yeah.
-One more protein shake for my, buddy.
Thanks, sis.
-Garth, you're needed.
-I'm busy.
-Garth.
I need you, understand?
-I'll come when I'm ready.
Understand?
-Ouch.
Who's the man?
-Don't worry.
Growing new body parts isn't that difficult.
Anyone hungry?
Only a little bit?
I thought you'd be starving.
When I'm in the pits, I like to console myself with--
ta-da.
-She can't eat that.
She can't chew.
-Oh, sorry.
I've got an idea.
[blending]
-Like anchovies?
I'll take that as a yes.
[blending]
-That's what the straw is for.
Mmm.
What?
It all gets mashed up in your stomach, anyway.
-Sleep well?
-Elizabeth.
-Came to wish you luck.
-Uh, thanks, but I don't need it.
Interesting dream you had last night.
[bark]
-You're such a girl.
-Good luck.
You will need it.
-Look, it worked.
New teeth.
They're tiny, I know.
But they're still growing.
Your presentation.
This morning, yes, I haven't forgotten.
Fingers crossed, Sash, I've sped up the process
as much as I can.
-Can we get started?
-It's cool.
I've seen these guys play.
They're not that good.
Relax.
-Give me a sec.
What did you do to me?
-I wouldn't do anything to a loyal friend, would I, Verity?
-So long as they're a loyal friend.
-What's up?
-Uh, I've got this old pec injury, bothers me sometimes.
-Won't affect your game?
-Nah.
[cheering]
[whistle]
Go, Jack!
[laughing]
-What was that?
-I need some time out.
-What's the matter?
-Nothing.
Nothing.
[laughing]
-It's nearly 8 o'clock.
-We'll be all right.
-Well, I'll manage here.
You get to school, make an excuse.
-Sure.
[door opens and closes]
-Open up.
-What's wrong with you?
-It's my injury.
It's flaring up.
Um, I've got to keep it warm.
-Why didn't you say so?
I've got some muscle rub.
-It's not that kind of injury!
[whistle]
-It's your serve.
(SHOUTING) What's going on?
-It's my pecs, they're all inflamed.
-Now it's both of them?
-They're on fire!
Ooo!
Ow!
I've got cool them down.
-[laughs]
-Are you coming back to the game?
-Oh, I'd say it's game over.
See you in school!
-Wait!
Wait!
-Hey!
Bring that back!
-Hey, that's my duck!
-[laughs]
-Make 'em go away.
-[laughs]
What's it worth to you?
-Anything.
You know I'll do anything.
-I've got a hormonal cream that'll
solve your little problem.
-Little?
He's the biggest girl in school.
[laughing]
-Uh-uh.
Not so fast.
Who's your friend?
-You are, Elizabeth.
[laughing]
JACK (OFFSCREEN): Garth, wait.
-Look, I'm drawing out of the comp.
-Why?
Because of this morning?
-It doesn't matter why.
I'm out.
-So we dropped one game, it's no big deal.
We can still win the jet skis.
-Jet skis are for losers.
-Wait.
Garth.
We're still buddies, right?
-We were never going to be buddies.
ELIZABETH (OFFSCREEN): [clears throat]
Mr. Woods.
And now for my presentation.
My assignment is about subatomic particles.
Now, there are three major--
-Sorry we're late, sir.
MR. WOODS (OFFSCREEN): Oh, better late than never.
You can sit down, Elizabeth.
-But, sir, I--
-Thank you, Elizabeth.
-After you.
Ready?
-Thank you, sir.
And now to begin my project.
Sorry for the slight delay.
[laughing]
