Rain day! Rain day!
Today's the day we count the rain!
I bet it rained 1,000 inches last year.
Get real, Steve. Closer to 'finity.
Only one way to settle it.
Let's go to the gauge!
Hmm, that's odd.
I could've sworn this was where we installed
our professional rain collection system
exactly one year ago today to the day.
What are you two dummies doing staring at the fence?
Dad! You're drinking out of our rain gauge!
Steve, this is a yard-garita glass.
See? It has little markers
so I can measure how jacked up I'm getting.
You ruined our experiment!
Actually, it seems like I'm teaching you
a valuable lesson about leaving your stuff outside.
You should've seen all the gross water
I had to drink out of this thing.
Oh, so much sweet rain.
You always act like you're more important
than everyone else!
Steve, I act like that because I am more important.
I'm the big dog around here. Ruff-ruff!
Roger, back me up.
Stan, I'm pissed about the rain thing, too.
But yes, you are the big dog. Ruff-ruff.
You see, Steve, I cast a pretty big shadow.
So either get used to it or mosey along.
Maybe I will mosey along.
Maybe you've been holding me back my whole life!
Maybe I'll run away!
Sounds good. Send a postcard.
Address it to my shadow.
Mailman knows where it is.
Hey, Stan! Did Steve just run away?
He'll be back. He's a little pup.
He knows the big dog runs the show.
That's you, baby! The big dog!
Ruff-ruff!
- Big dog! Ruff-ruff. - Ruff-ruff!
Ruff-ruff! Ruff-ruff!
Uh-oh, is that the dog-father himself, Tuttle, I hear?!
That must mean the puppy pound can't be far behind.

Man, we ran away to a pretty fancy boarding school.
Yeah, I wasn't expecting this much
from a place that let us in 20 minutes after we applied.
Room 237...
Our home for the next four years.
Holy cow!
Welcome to Pendlingtonton Academy, buddy.
This place is nice.
Usually, when I run away,
I'm in a children's pickpocket army within 12 hours.
- I'll make friendships here that'll last a lifetime. - You might.
I still keep in touch with some of my pickpocket buds.
- Uh, Steve... - I'll read Plato and Homer...
- Steve... - ...row crew with my best buds...
Steve! I think your experience is gonna be a lot different than that,
because Pendlingtonton is an all-girls school!
♪ Had to let him enroll because of a loophole ♪
♪ That's right, there was a bizarre technicality ♪
♪ Discovered in the charter of the school ♪
♪ That's pretty complicated but is 100% binding ♪
♪ So all you need to know is... ♪
♪ It was a technicality ♪
♪ That changed his reality ♪

♪ And you best believe, he'll n-n-never leave ♪

I wonder what our suitemates are gonna be like.
I bet one's a really smart, uptight girl
and the other one's a bad girl with a heart of gold.
Or maybe a super-boring girl
and an east-coast Mexican girl.
Or maybe a girl who's a hacker in a wheelchair
and then the other girl has, like, I don't know,
a huge ass.
So it's true!
They did let a boy into Pendlingtonton!
So, yeah.
No one's actually told us how that happened?
Yeah, why did they let him in?
It was a technicality! We're your suitemates.
I'm Spitz.
This is The Babe.
I have an actual real name, but it's not important.
All the girls in school are jealous
that we get to room with the "boy."
I don't care, though. I'm a lesbian.
I'm also prelaw.
So this will be a pretty interesting living...
- arraignment. - Ha ha ha ha.
Yeah.
I doubt people are jealous of you rooming with dorky old me.
Look for yourself!
It's the boy!
I'm so jealous you get to room with him!
Aaaaaaaaaah!
What is the meaning of this nonsense!
Steve Smith.
I knew having a boy walking around Pendlingtonton
with his little dick would be a distraction.
My office, now!
You're in trouble.
Where's Steve?
I got us two tickets to Tara-dise.
Tara Reid's illegal lion sanctuary.
Steve ran away to boarding school, remember?
Oh, yeah. Whatever. Steve sucks!
I-I don't need him to have fun!
So you guys are just doing books?
Yes! Thank God!
Something to get our minds off Steve.
Hey, Mister!
I heard your family could use a down-on-their-luck kid
with an unflappable spirit!
Unflappable?
I'm Spunky Rooster!
And I'm moving in!
A little cramped, but it'll do!
Well, you think you're pretty special,
waltzing in here with your technicality
and your little penis.
You keep mentioning the size of my...
I don't want you here, Smith!
Those cowards at the school board
were too afraid to stand up to you.
But I'm not!
But you can't kick out Steve.
I can and I will!
As soon as I figure out how.
In the meantime, don't expect any special treatment.
We're not getting you one of those boy chairs
with a hole cut out for your little wiener.
Boys use regular chairs.
D-Do you really not know that?
Geez. That headmistress is really gunning for me.
Relax, everyone I've talked to seems to think
your technicality is iron-clad.
Mmm.
Hey, guys.
What's wrong, Spitz?
I just professed my love
to the captain of the science debate team
and she totally rejected me.
Poor Spitz. Tragic, huh?
We're the only two lesbians in the whole school.
And yet, neither one of us can find love.
Wait, you're also a lesbian?
Cheer up, Spitz. You'll find somebody.
Now, let me see that smile!
Stop it! Stop tickling me!
There it is!
There's that smile.
What is happening here?
Steve!
My udon and meatballs!
The headmistress wants to see you.
You're in trouble!
Man, that girl was slippin' quick!
Good thing that conveniently placed
pile of cardboard boxes was there to stop her.
Whatever. It was a funny fall.
I'm not gonna overthink it.
Hey, Mr. Stan!
What did you mean when you said I was 'nnoying?
Does that mean I ask a lot of questions?
Is that what it means? 'Nnoying?
Does that mean to ask too many questions?
Yes, Spunky.
Was it 'nnoying when I nursed that bird back to health
and then he ate all your important biz-a-ness papers?
Everything you've done since you showed up has been "'nnoying."
That bus driver you brought home to dinner.
When you pretended the living room was the bottom of the ocean.
I've been "'nnoyed" by all of it.
But as long as you're here, let's do something fun.
Make bisghetti or gazagna?
Shut up. No.
I'm gonna beat you at Horse.
Steve used to love it when I whipped his ass at Horse.
I never played bus-kit-ball!
But I'll try!
From the car, bounce it off the ground,
to the backboard, then jump down,
and catch it mid-air
for an eyes-closed backwards layup!
Whoa! Today must be my lucky day!
What the hell? That was, like, top five all-time...
- Just bounce it off the ground... - I saw!
Oopsies!
That's an "H," Mr. S!
Come in, Steve!
I didn't even knock.
Oh, I could hear your little pecker
swinging to and fro all the way down the hall.
Clanging against your thighs like a church bell.
I did a little digging into your "technicality," Smith.
And I found something very interesting.
The technicality has a clause!
The technicality has a clause?
That's right, and it states that a boy
can only stay in school if he competes in,
and wins, the Academic Decathlon.
Which is tomorrow!
Oh, no!
We are readying this today.
Enjoy your last night as Pendlingtonton.
I assume you'll need the next 12 hours
to pack up all your jock straps and Gold Bond.
Am I the first man you've ever met?
Okay, first question.
The Battle of Appomattox took place on...
which page of this book?
That's not something they're gonna ask!
69, Steve.
You know, not to get us totally off track,
but do you think there's something odd
about our whole setup here at Pendlingtonton?
Roger, I don't have time for this.
Think about it. You show up.
It's a surprise that it's an all-girls school.
There's the technicality. The clause.
I can't believe you!
Oh, hey, guys. You should've seen it.
Stacy Hemerson dared The Babe to eat a whole honeydew!
Rind and all!
Not only did The Babe do it,
but then, she grabbed Becky by the throat...
Not now, Spitz! Can't you see I'm trying to study!
It's my room, too, Steve. Geez!
Bite my frickin' head off!
Well, maybe pay attention to people other than yourself for once!
You have no idea what it's like
being the only boy at an all-girls school!
You're right, Steve.
I have no idea what it's like to be different.
Spitz, wait!
Steve, just because you have a dick
doesn't mean you have be a dick.
Whoever that was, they get it.
Name any bird.
- Mm, blue jay. - That's it.
You are ready for whatever test your teachers might throw at you.
Steve, I know you're mad at me, but just hear me out.
Spitz, wait.
Let me apologize. I was a jerk.
I wanted so badly to prove to my dad
that I could be the big dog
that I let it affect our friendship.
And it doesn't even matter.
'Cause I'm gonna lose and have to move home.
Steve, I know what it's like to feel different.
I'm prelaw.
Which is why I took a look at the school's charter.
And guess freakin' what?
The clause to your technicality
has an addendum!
Okay, anyone here speak Spitz?
- Oh, why am I doing this? - Listen!
Steve doesn't have to win the Decathlon.
He just has to win any school contest he chooses!
Spitz, you genius!
When you're prelaw, legalese is a legal breeze.
Well, I don't think we're gonna top that.
Let's go.
Headmistress Mahoney.
We took a look at your little clause
and it turns out, it has an addendum.
What?!
Damn it! You're right!
It's that easy to find?
Okay, Steve.
I guess you've got me by your sticky little glue stick.
Pick the contest.
The Battle of the Bands! That's perfect!
Is it? We don't have a band.
- What the... - Okay, guys.
I know we've only got one day to practice
and we've never played together
and it's The Babe's first time on drums.
But the only way we're gonna win this contest
is if we have some fun!
A-one, two, three, four!
Don't worry! She'll get it eventually!
Hey, I noticed Spunky Rooster's
tie-dyed hammock isn't in Steve's room anymore.
- Did she... - She's in St. Paul. That's all you need to know.
Steve?!
If this is Steve, everyone be cool, okay?
Oh, hey, Steve.
Jolly-ho! You must be Stan Smith!
John Michael Heaton.
I am your long-lost, never-before-mentioned cousin.
And I'll be moving in permanently.
Cars should drive on the left, that's what I say!
I don't want this man to live here!
When I come back down, I expect a massive tea service.
Pip, pip! Wimbledon's the best.
Man, we sounded awesome!
I think we might just win this thing!
Yep, seems like just about everything
is coming up Steve these days.
And I think I figured out why.
Steve, remember when Frasier left "Cheers"
for his own show?
When Rhoda left "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"?
I'm 14, not 90.
Steve, you're in a spin-off!
Don't you spin-off, Steviods.
"Top of the Steve" will be right back.
What do you mean, I'm in a spin-off?
Think about it, Steve.
You get into Pendlingtonton on a technicality.
Then, an obstacle arises that if overcome
will firmly establish this as your new home.
A promise of a new life! That's spin-off 101, baby!
- A spin-off of what? - I don't know!
- You're old life, I guess. - Roger, that sounds crazy.
Crazier than what's been going on around here!
Our roommates, who we only know as Spitz and The Babe,
are both lesbians who barely notice each other.
Clearly, the beginning
of a "will they/won't they" love story.
They're just friends who tickle each other.
And the band... Each of your roommates
can play the exact instrument you needed.
I mean, Spitz wanted to play the bass.
Usually, you have to force that on the worse guitarist.
Face it, this is a spin-off and you're the star!
I'm the star?
That means I'm the big dog!
Damn right! Big dog!
- Ruff-ruff! - Ruff-ruff!
- Big dog! - Ruff-ruff!
Now let's go win that Battle of the Bands!
That's not for four hours.
Then let's sit still and shut down our minds.
Midnight snack attack!
Raiding the fridge for midnight snacks!
'Cause it's midnight
and now is when we have the snack attacks!
Wait a second. Where's Steve's root beer?!
- John! - Yes?
John Michael, did you replace Steve's root beer
with these shepherd's pie protein shakes?
I did! Got to bulk up!
Sweater vest season's just around the corner.
It's okay. We miss Steve, too.
It's so hard to accept that I miss my son.
Nice shoes!
This next act is horrible, and if they don't win,
their lead singer will be expelled.
So now let's all not give it up for Stevie and the Banshees!
♪ We're three cool chicks and a boy with a dick ♪
♪ Pendlingtonton ♪
♪ A place for friends ♪
♪ Until the end ♪
♪ This is a spin-off ♪
That's right. We'll always be friends.
Let's rock, Pendlingtonton!
They love us!
No, Steve! They love the big dog.
- This'll show my dad! - For sure.
Too bad you'll never see him again.
Totally! Wait, what?
You're in a spin-off.
If the spin-off works, you can never go home.
Odds are they're already replacing you.
What?! Roger, I don't wanna never see my family again!
Oh, then you cannot win this contest.
If you do, the spin-off will be a success
and you'll be here forever!
Then we have to lose!
Okay, but you'll be giving up being the big dog forever!
Who cares?! I want my family!
All right, let's lose this bitch!
By the way, we've been soloing for, like, forever.
Enough! I have heard enough...
to declare you the winner of the Battle of the Bands!
Yes!
What the...
Of course!
You're the star of the spin-off. You have to win.
That's probably why there were no other bands.
I have your medal, Steve.
Steve, we'll be trapped here forever
if that thing hits your beautiful pink chest!
Run!
Get him!
Put in on your shoulders and celebrate
our new beloved student!
Steve, you can hide in here.
I'm the laid-back history teacher
who's taken a special interest in the new kid.
- And that's you! - It's a trap!
He's a storyline!
I could've been a father figure to you!
We have to ignore everyone.
They're all trying to keep us in the spin-off!
Steve, will you go to prom with me?
Well, my dance card is wide o...
- No, Steve! - But she's cute!
She won't be cute when it turns out
she was just inviting you to make her boyfriend
at the boys academy jealous!
Storylines!
Hola, Steve!
I am the new foreign exchange student.
In less than three years, this performance
will be considered offensive!
It's locked! We're trapped!
Steve, it's me, talented hockey player
and tentative actor Wayne Gretzky!
I'm here to teach you an eye-opening lesson
about cyber bullying through the power of song!
Celebrity guest star. Storyline!
Hey, guys, I found the answer key
to tomorrow's ethics test in the garbage.
I don't know what to do!
Storyline! The teacher wanted you to find the answers.
That is the test.
Geez, this spin-off has lazy writing.
Take your medal, Steve!
Aaaaah! These doors are so flimsy!
Wait, flimsy sets.
Lazy writing.
A Canadian flag. I knew it!
Great news, Steve. We're shooting in Vancouver.
That means this show was shot on the cheap.
All we have to do to ruin it is go over budget.
How the hell do we do that?!
Sing The Beatles.
It can cost as much as $5 million
to sing just two notes of a Beatles song on air.
All you need to do is pick one.
Oh, man.
I mean, I'm usually more of a Monkees guy...
- What?! - Take your medal, Steve!
- "Hey Jude"! - ♪ Hey ♪
No Beatles ever!
Oh.
Hey, Steve.
Were you, like, gone or something?
Are you crying?
You wish, little pup.
Mm!
I missed you, too, Dad.
Now, let's go dig for dinosaur bones in the backyard.
Tuttle said he found a T-Rex's arm under his gazebo.
Hey, don't tell Steve, but I scissored
the headmistress at the school we went to.
Cool, right?
Pretty cool, I guess.
And now, the world premiere trailer
of this fall's funniest new show
"Top of the Spitz".
