Oh, whose dirty underwear are these?
Don't look at me, Dr. P. I've been wearing mine for a week.
-Cranissaa! [GRUNTS]
That's Splat. He's my dojo partner.
To keep our fighting instincts razor-sharp,
we attack each other at random moments.
We call them...
Code red ninja super sneak attack assaults,
also known as "Cranissaa."
Which can be confusing
because there's a girl in our class named Clarissa.
You got him good, Splat.
Right, did you see his face? He was like, "Ee-oo-er-fer-- Doy!"
Hey, I don't say, "Doy!"
But sadly, everything else is accurate.
You know what, that was my underwear.
Then whose are these?

LIV: Ah! [GASPS]
-Sorry, Joey. [LAUGHS] -Liv, chill. What is wrong with you?
Okay, international teen sensation, Kathy Kan
-is coming here today. [HIGH-PITCHED SCREAM]
And that is the last one of those.
The Kathy Kan, the Korean pop star?
-Yeah, you know who she is? -Are you kidding?
I eat lunch with her every day.
[CLICKS TONGUE] Wow, you have a Kathy Kan lunchbox.
Uh-huh. I won it in a heated online fanboy auction.
I did have to trade my collection of Hobbit dress socks,
but it was worth it.
Well, she is going to be here all week to study me as an actress.
Ha! They're redoing...

I'm so excited for this week, it's gonna be totally...
BOTH: Sparkle-riffic. [SHRIEKS]
Okay, you are signing all of these and I am getting my Hobbit socks back.
Also, I like your bow. Welcome to America.
Oh, boom. Ha!
Even with a hurt knee I am destroying you in horse. [LAUGHS]
I even gave you a huge head start and, uh, started myself off with H-O-R-S,
and all you had to do was make one shot.
But, uh, you're about to lose again.
I have never beaten Maddie at anything
that requires athletic ability.
I know. Shocking.
Yeah, all right. Whatever.
It went in.
It did? I mean... [CLEARS THROAT] Yeah, whatever. Of course it did.
Okay, but, I mean, you couldn't make that shot again even if you tried.
Oh, I don't have to make it. Heh.
You do.
[CLEARS THROAT] [CHUCKLES]
Okay. STYLE ::cue()
[GLASS SHATTERS]
That's H-O-R-S-E.
I beat Maddie!
You know what? Let's go again. Because I want a rematch.
No, no, no. I'm retired from basketball.
Forever.
I'm just gonna ride off into the sunset on my horse,
which is spelled H-O-R-S-E.
Oh, wait. You already knew that.

LINDA: ♪ Pink, pink, pink, Girls, girls, girls ♪

♪ Best friends ♪
Linda and Heather is my favorite show.
It's about two girls who are best friends but always wind up in crazy hijinks.
My dojo bros think it's for girls.
Okay, pink and glitter, maybe, but twirls are for everyone.
[CLICKS TONGUE] Oh, hey, Splat.
[WHISPERING] Hey, Mrs. Rooney. Is Parker home?
Yeah, he's in the living room, Splat. Why are you carrying a club?
I'm going to Cranissaa Parker.
Okay, just don't cra-break anything.
[LAUGHS]
HEATHER: Linda, I told you, I don't need your help getting Harvey.
I wish you'd never come home.
What? No, don't say that, Heather. She's your bestie!
You're watching Linda and Heather?
What? Uh, no.
Cranissaa!
Parker, dude, that show's for girls.
Okay, I was flipping channels,
saw the diabolical younger brother blowing stuff up,
and forgot to change it once the girls came on.
Technically, that's a true story.
It's just I've been forgetting to change the channel for two years now.
No way, you recorded the whole season.
Before I knew how awful it was.
I mean, it's not like I like the show.
I love the show.
Then I guess you'll have no problem deleting them all.
Yeah, sure, I'll delete them. No problem.
You mean now?
I feel like I just lost my best friend, and her best friend.
[KATHY CHUCKLES AND GASPS]
The Liv Rooney diva board?
The legend is true.
Oh, I have a special little surprise for you.
[CLEARS THROAT, INHALES DEEPLY]
[SINGING IN KOREAN]
-Sing It Loud in Korean. -Yeah!
[SPEAKING KOREAN]
That means, "Thanks, sweet mama."
Okay, seriously though,
how did you learn to speak such perfect English?
By watching you play Stephanie Einstein on...
♪ Sing it loud ♪
Ugh, I cannot wait to teach you how to play her.
She is such a lovable airhead.
Yes, make me smart about how to be dumb.
Okay, so capturing Stephanie is a threefold process.
One, sing and look cute as a button, check and check.
And two, ability to deliver snappy one-liners.
So here's an example from episode 78, ready?
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
"I am so done with you.
We are in a text-only relationship until further notice."
Got it. Episode 32. [CLEARS THROAT]
"When I say I won't tell anyone, I've already told everyone."
Okay, hit me. What's the third key to Stephanie?
Okay, are you ready? The ability to pretty cry.
So.. [CLEARS THROAT]
[GASPS, SIGHS]
[WHIMPERS]
Got it.
[WAILING]
[SOBBING]
Oh, okay.
That cry is not that pretty.
I knew it. Kathy can't, Kathy can't, Kathy can't!
-You're better than this, Kathy! -[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
Now, you're a fun little whackadoo.
Um, but honestly, don't be too hard on yourself.
I mean, I didn't get the pretty cry till like halfway through season one. [LAUGHS]
Um, so let's just make this week a fun week, yeah?
Perfect, we'll hang out with all your friends
and be all real-girl normal.
Yeah, um.
So, slight truth bomb time.
Um, ever since I moved back, it's been a little hard to make friends.
Please don't judge me, I'm trusting you with my super-secret shame. Heh.
No, it's okay. I totally get it.
Ever since I hit number one in Korea with my first single,
"Happy Sugar Fun Time..."
it's been hard for me to make friends too.
Well, then maybe,
we can just be real-girl normal together.
-Do you know how to do that? -No, I have no idea. STYLE ::cue()
-Oh, but you know what? We can ask Maddie. -Okay.
-Yeah. [POUNDING]
Joey, get back out here right now and give me a rematch
before I rip your eyebrows off and feed them to you!
[LOUD THUD]
-Yeah, so maybe we won't ask Maddie. -Okay.
[LOUDLY] Join the real-girl normal club.
[LOUDLY] Wow, don't mind if I do.
That sounds like a club for girls like us.
-[SQUEALS] -Let the friend feeding frenzy begin.
Yeah!
And so, Superintendent Kneebauer,
I have really relaxed the rules on hallway posters.
Yeah. Let the kids express themselves.
This hallway looks like a funhouse.
Exactly. It is fun to get your education on.
A what, what? [LAUGHS]
Man versus zombie versus squirrel?
A what, what were you thinking?
Instead of promoting you,
maybe I should have moved you into the cafeteria.
No, I cook all day at home. I cannot do it here.
Then show me you're ready.
A new vice principal needs to take control.
Copy that.
All right, everybody.
Take these posters down, now!
If I see one poster up after 3 p.m.,
you will see me in detention!
I am vice principal, you will fear me!
Better?
I'm still picturing you in a hairnet.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Can you believe that crazy woman?
Ha-ha! Yeah. Uh, that crazy woman is my mom.
Um.
But yeah, she better watch it.
The last vice principal we had was super strict
and kids were always pranking him.
[GASPS] Are you saying we should prank her?
[CHUCKLES] No.
Uh, I could never prank my mom.
People love pranksters.
It's got real-girl normal written all over it.
-You're not wrong. -Ha!
She may have torn down our posters,
-but the real-girl normal club lives on. -Mm-hm.
Let's do this.
BOTH: ♪ Ooh, ooh, oom ♪

Hey, Mads, what you up to?
Besides not beating me at basketball. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah. You remember that? I do.
I could not live in a world where Joey beats Maddie,
so I had to defeat him at something-- Anything.
Clearly though it was not going to be T-shirt making,
because he's the master.
Oh, wow. Look at that.
What a shame, there is only one waffle left.
Hmm. [CLICKS TONGUE]
What do you think, you care to, uh, fence me for it?
Sorry, Mads. I have retired from all competition.
Enjoy your waffle.
My victory sustains me.
See you at school.
Oh, by the way, um, there's an extra one of these on your bed.
[ROCK GUITAR PLAYING]
What's up, my dudes?
Y'all want to hit the weights after this and get yoked?
I was hoping Splat forgot about Linda and Heather.
But just in case, I wanted to reintroduce him
to my man-ness.
I got the idea from an episode of Linda and Heather.
Where's Splat?
Need to talk to him about guy stuff,
you know, karate, lightning bolts, cannons.
-Cranissaa! [SCREAMS]
Epic cranissaa, bro.
Wanna talk gator wrestling or go break something?
Dude, are you being all weird because I caught you watching--
I don't know what you're talking about.
But are you gonna be cool about what we're not talking about?
Parkster, I would never say a word about...
[WHISPERS] Linda and Heather.

Aw! Thank you. You look redizzle. STYLE ::cue()
BOTH: Double selfie!
[SHUTTERS CLICKING]
Mom said no posters on the walls.
I sure hope she likes them glued to her office floor.
Well, we had to put them somewhere.
There's no room on the walls, with a desk glued to it.

BOTH: ♪ Ooh, ooh, oom, ooh, ooh, oom ♪
Okay, let's get out of here before anybody sees us.
[LIV LAUGHS AND CLEARS THROAT]
Ha! What's wrong with this door?
I glued it. Ha-ha! You said glue everything.
What? No, no, no!
I glued the windows too.
I'm very thorough, it's one of my things. I also do calligraphy.
[SIGHS] Okay. Uh, Kathy. This is my mom's office, right?
If she catches us, she's gonna glue me to the wall!
-We just have to hide the evidence. -What?
[SHRIEKS] We need a better plan. What would Stephanie Einstein do?
I'm pretty sure she would pretty cry,
but I don't think I have any pretty left in me.
[BOTH WAILING]
Parker, there are a couple of friends here to see you.
[AS HEATHER]: Hi, Linda! Do you think any boys watch our show?
[AS LINDA]: No, Heather. Why would they? It's not for boys, it's for girls!
We burned him, Splat.
Yeah, we did. Boom, chicken soup.
Okay, yep. You guys got me.
Wait a second.
"Boom, chicken soup."
That's a very odd expression, where'd you hear that?
Uh, duh, it's Linda's catchphrase.
Boom, chicken soup!
Nobody would know that unless they watch Linda and Heather.
You guys watch it too.
Boom, chicken busted.
[ALL LAUGHING]
I thought I was the only guy that watched it.
It's funny. And it has a lot of heart.
Hey, you guys can stop laughing.
Yeah, that's right.
I watch Linda and Heather. That's my truth.
Those gals make me laugh and that makes me feel alive.
So why do we tease each other for loving something that's funny?
Who made up the rule that boys can't like a show about girls?
The shame stops today.
If you're with me, say it loud and say it proud.
-Boom! -BOTH: Chicken soup!
-I said, boom! -BOTH: Chicken soup!
Linda and Heather now, Linda and Heather tomorrow,
and Linda and Heather forever!
BOTH: Best friends! [ALL CHEERING]
Friends, rocketeers,
online gaming warriors.
You stand on the very court where I defeated Maddie Rooney.
My shot bounced off the ground here,
hit the wall, and went directly into the net.
If you are unclear on what the net is,
it is the white thingy hanging from the red thingy.
Guys, it's like when they blew up the Death Star.
ALL: Oh, yes.
[MADDIE LOUDLY CLEARS THROAT]
Joseph Rooney.
It is time for you to face me.
Maddie, I told you.
I have retired from all competition.

Even one that involves your home court... [SIGHS]

Cobalt.
Iridium.
