1
00:00:03,568 --> 00:00:05,222
All right, class.
For homework,
2
00:00:05,266 --> 00:00:07,746
I want you to translate
all 20 word problems
3
00:00:07,790 --> 00:00:10,401
at the end of the chapter
into algebraic equations.
4
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,665
Hey, I don't need you
to like me.
5
00:00:13,709 --> 00:00:15,189
I got enough friends.
6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,584
Twenty equations tonight?
7
00:00:19,628 --> 00:00:21,282
Come on, math,
why can't you get off my back
8
00:00:21,325 --> 00:00:23,197
and solve your own problems?
9
00:00:24,111 --> 00:00:25,851
Well, I love math.
10
00:00:25,895 --> 00:00:27,070
Don't tell anybody,
11
00:00:27,114 --> 00:00:29,203
but I kind of have
a crush on fractions.
12
00:00:29,246 --> 00:00:32,075
They're like two little
numbers in a bunk bed.
13
00:00:33,294 --> 00:00:34,947
Excuse me, Olive.
14
00:00:34,991 --> 00:00:36,210
Could I see you for a moment?
15
00:00:36,253 --> 00:00:37,950
Sure, Ms. Williams.
16
00:00:38,603 --> 00:00:41,650
Oh, no.
Was I over-participating?
17
00:00:44,218 --> 00:00:47,351
I am so sorry, Ms. Williams.
It won't happen again.
18
00:00:47,395 --> 00:00:48,961
See that it doesn't.
19
00:00:49,005 --> 00:00:51,399
Although, I have no idea
what you're talking about.
20
00:00:52,139 --> 00:00:54,445
Actually, Olive, it's good news.
21
00:00:55,707 --> 00:00:58,493
In eighth grade,
we start to separate students
into different levels,
22
00:00:58,536 --> 00:01:00,321
and based on your performance,
23
00:01:00,364 --> 00:01:03,237
I've selected you to be
in the advanced math class.
24
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,892
Wait. Did you just say
an advanced math class?
25
00:01:11,941 --> 00:01:14,161
So, tell me.
Is everything okay?
26
00:01:14,204 --> 00:01:16,119
Yes! You won't believe it.
27
00:01:16,163 --> 00:01:18,382
Ms. Williams just
invited me to join
28
00:01:18,426 --> 00:01:20,254
a new advanced math class.
29
00:01:20,297 --> 00:01:22,691
There's an advanced math class?
30
00:01:22,734 --> 00:01:24,475
Yeah. I'm so excited,
31
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:27,261
the butterflies in my stomach
are covered in goosebumps.
32
00:01:27,304 --> 00:01:30,133
This must be
what dating's like.
33
00:01:30,786 --> 00:01:32,179
Advanced math?
34
00:01:32,222 --> 00:01:33,441
Good for you.
35
00:01:33,484 --> 00:01:35,138
I know what you're thinking.
36
00:01:35,182 --> 00:01:37,097
Advanced math sounds terrible.
37
00:01:37,140 --> 00:01:40,143
No, I'm thinking,
why didn't Ms. Williams ask me?
38
00:01:40,187 --> 00:01:43,146
What? I didn't think
you liked math that much.
39
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:45,105
Where'd you get that idea?
40
00:01:45,148 --> 00:01:48,456
You told math to go
solve its own problems.
41
00:01:48,499 --> 00:01:50,980
Oh, I know what's happening.
42
00:01:51,023 --> 00:01:53,287
They're probably telling kids
one at a time.
43
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:55,027
Yeah. Probably.
44
00:01:55,071 --> 00:01:58,118
Anyway, I'm gonna go
call my mom and tell her
the good news.
45
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,381
There it goes again!
46
00:02:02,687 --> 00:02:04,994
Oh, Syd, good.
You're still here.
47
00:02:05,037 --> 00:02:07,257
Yes, I am, Ms. Williams.
48
00:02:07,301 --> 00:02:09,781
Is there something
you want to say to me?
49
00:02:09,825 --> 00:02:12,784
-Yes.
-I think I know what it is.
50
00:02:12,828 --> 00:02:14,482
You left your sweater in class.
51
00:02:15,396 --> 00:02:17,311
♪ Do do do do♪
52
00:02:20,836 --> 00:02:23,186
♪ Like father, like daughter,
we don't always agree♪
53
00:02:23,230 --> 00:02:25,797
♪ But looking at you
is like looking at me♪
54
00:02:25,841 --> 00:02:30,411
♪ The more things change,
the more they stay the same♪
55
00:02:30,454 --> 00:02:33,109
♪ Like father, like daughter,
from different times♪
56
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:35,155
♪ Taking all the best
from your decade and mine♪
57
00:02:35,198 --> 00:02:38,984
♪ The more things change♪
58
00:02:39,028 --> 00:02:40,638
♪ The more they stay the same♪
59
00:02:40,682 --> 00:02:43,772
♪ Do do, do do do do,
do do♪
60
00:02:43,815 --> 00:02:46,078
♪ The more they stay the same♪
61
00:02:50,126 --> 00:02:52,433
Hi, Ms. Williams.
Uh, thanks again
for the sweater.
62
00:02:52,476 --> 00:02:54,304
I mean, where's my head, right?
63
00:02:54,348 --> 00:02:56,741
So, I was just talking to Olive,
64
00:02:56,785 --> 00:02:58,917
and she mentioned that
you invited her to join
65
00:02:58,961 --> 00:03:00,310
an advanced math class.
66
00:03:00,354 --> 00:03:02,834
Yes. We want to get
the top students ready
67
00:03:02,878 --> 00:03:04,923
for the upper-level courses
in high school.
68
00:03:04,967 --> 00:03:06,186
Uh-huh.
69
00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:07,796
Totally get it. So,
70
00:03:07,839 --> 00:03:10,712
I was just wondering
if you were planning
on inviting me
71
00:03:10,755 --> 00:03:11,930
to join the class.
72
00:03:11,974 --> 00:03:13,541
Actually, I wasn't.
73
00:03:13,584 --> 00:03:16,196
-You weren't?
-Look, Sydney,
74
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:17,936
it's not that you're not
doing well.
75
00:03:17,980 --> 00:03:19,938
You've got a solid
B-plus average.
76
00:03:19,982 --> 00:03:22,245
But this new class
is gonna be very challenging.
77
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:25,248
Ms. Williams, there's something
you should know about me.
78
00:03:25,292 --> 00:03:28,556
When I'm challenged,
I rise to the occasion.
79
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:30,253
Grrrr!
80
00:03:31,907 --> 00:03:33,038
Are you sure?
81
00:03:33,082 --> 00:03:34,910
Because it's gonna move
pretty fast.
82
00:03:34,953 --> 00:03:37,042
Fast is my only speed.
83
00:03:37,086 --> 00:03:39,610
Again... grrrr!
84
00:03:40,568 --> 00:03:43,005
Well, you do seem
pretty determined.
85
00:03:43,571 --> 00:03:44,833
Tell you what,
86
00:03:44,876 --> 00:03:46,965
let's give it a try.
If it doesn't work out,
87
00:03:47,009 --> 00:03:48,489
you can always go back
to regular math.
88
00:03:48,532 --> 00:03:50,795
You won't have to
worry about that, Ms. Williams.
89
00:03:50,839 --> 00:03:52,928
I'm in advanced math to stay.
90
00:03:52,971 --> 00:03:56,192
Wait. Did I just say
advanced math?
91
00:03:58,107 --> 00:04:00,109
Hey, where did that come from?
92
00:04:05,070 --> 00:04:07,116
Hey, Max. Check this out.
93
00:04:10,728 --> 00:04:12,295
Nice.
94
00:04:12,339 --> 00:04:14,558
You know what?
You should get yourself
a pair of skates
95
00:04:14,602 --> 00:04:16,517
so we can go to
the roller rink together!
96
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,258
Together? You and me?
97
00:04:18,301 --> 00:04:21,739
It'll be fun! That is,
if you think you can keep up.
98
00:04:21,783 --> 00:04:23,698
Keep up? Please.
99
00:04:23,741 --> 00:04:25,874
In case you forgot,
I'm a skateboarder.
100
00:04:25,917 --> 00:04:27,354
Blah, blah, blah.
101
00:04:27,397 --> 00:04:30,835
I'm hearing a lot of talk
from a guy with no skates.
102
00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:32,750
Oh, don't worry.
I'm getting skates.
103
00:04:32,794 --> 00:04:34,056
Then you're on.
104
00:04:34,099 --> 00:04:36,319
I'm gonna go practice
leaving you in the dust,
105
00:04:36,363 --> 00:04:39,104
and you should practice
getting used to it.
106
00:04:39,148 --> 00:04:40,541
Oh, really?
107
00:04:40,584 --> 00:04:43,021
Sorry, Max.
I can't hear you
from way back there.
108
00:04:43,065 --> 00:04:45,110
Oh, this is gonna be fun.
109
00:04:50,115 --> 00:04:51,769
-Hi, Mom.
-Hi.
110
00:04:51,813 --> 00:04:53,249
Okay, enough small talk.
111
00:04:54,424 --> 00:04:57,297
I could try to butter you up
by telling you
your hair looks nice,
112
00:04:57,340 --> 00:04:59,342
but you'd just accuse me
of wanting something.
113
00:04:59,386 --> 00:05:03,041
Yes, we have done that
little dance a time or two.
114
00:05:03,085 --> 00:05:05,130
So I'm just gonna ask it.
115
00:05:05,174 --> 00:05:07,089
Would you buy me
a pair of roller skates?
116
00:05:07,132 --> 00:05:09,134
Why don't you just use
your savings to buy them?
117
00:05:09,178 --> 00:05:10,266
I don't have any.
118
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,399
I know. But it's just
funny to ask.
119
00:05:14,923 --> 00:05:17,404
Please, Mom?
This is really important to me.
120
00:05:17,447 --> 00:05:19,449
Wait a minute.
Didn't I just see Alisha
121
00:05:19,493 --> 00:05:21,277
roller skate into our garage?
122
00:05:22,147 --> 00:05:24,411
Because if I thought this
had anything to do with
123
00:05:24,454 --> 00:05:26,543
your giant crush on her,
124
00:05:26,587 --> 00:05:29,154
I might consider
buying them for you.
125
00:05:29,198 --> 00:05:30,982
Okay, fine.
126
00:05:31,026 --> 00:05:33,071
I want them so I can
roller skate with Alisha.
127
00:05:33,115 --> 00:05:34,290
-Happy?
-Very.
128
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:36,988
Nothing's ever free with you,
is it?
129
00:05:41,558 --> 00:05:44,169
Hey, Mr. R.
I'm here to celebrate.
130
00:05:44,213 --> 00:05:45,562
Smoothies for everyone.
131
00:05:45,606 --> 00:05:48,173
And as long as I'm getting
my 100 percent discount,
132
00:05:48,217 --> 00:05:50,393
they're on me!
133
00:05:50,437 --> 00:05:51,786
So, what are you celebrating?
134
00:05:51,829 --> 00:05:54,005
There's an advanced math class
for the top students,
135
00:05:54,049 --> 00:05:56,051
and my teacher invited me
to join it.
136
00:05:56,094 --> 00:05:57,922
Congrats, Olive.
That's awesome.
137
00:05:57,966 --> 00:05:59,794
Hey, Syd, you're just in time.
138
00:05:59,837 --> 00:06:02,623
We're celebrating Olive
getting into the advanced
math class.
139
00:06:02,666 --> 00:06:05,277
Well then, I'd say you should
make it a double celebration,
140
00:06:05,321 --> 00:06:08,106
'cause guess who also got
into the advanced math class?
141
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:09,673
Me.
142
00:06:09,717 --> 00:06:12,110
-What?
-Really? Advanced math?
143
00:06:12,154 --> 00:06:13,590
Sounded a little too surprised,
there.
144
00:06:13,634 --> 00:06:15,418
Wanna try again?
145
00:06:15,462 --> 00:06:17,289
Don't get me wrong.
I'm really happy for you.
146
00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:19,074
I just didn't think
you like math that much.
147
00:06:19,117 --> 00:06:22,294
Well, maybe my love
for math has multiplied.
148
00:06:22,338 --> 00:06:26,037
Look at that.
I even use math in my free time!
149
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:30,041
So, Ms. Williams
did ask you, after all.
150
00:06:30,085 --> 00:06:32,392
Well... let's just say
we had a little talk,
151
00:06:32,435 --> 00:06:34,568
and bottom line, I'm in.
152
00:06:34,611 --> 00:06:37,048
In that case,
math class is gonna be
153
00:06:37,092 --> 00:06:40,748
a straight up
polynomial par-tay!
154
00:06:40,791 --> 00:06:44,621
Did I just hear you girls
got bumped to the advanced
math class?
155
00:06:44,665 --> 00:06:46,710
That's ah-mah-zing!
156
00:06:46,754 --> 00:06:49,060
-Thanks, Grandma J.
-Yeah, thanks, Grandma.
157
00:06:49,104 --> 00:06:51,976
You guys aren't the only ones
taking a challenging class.
158
00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:53,848
At college, I signed up for
159
00:06:53,891 --> 00:06:56,154
"The Philosophy of
the Ancient Greeks."
160
00:06:56,198 --> 00:06:57,765
That's so cool.
161
00:06:57,808 --> 00:07:00,550
You're gonna spend months
exploring life's deepest,
162
00:07:00,594 --> 00:07:02,596
most profound questions.
163
00:07:04,119 --> 00:07:05,555
Why?
164
00:07:06,077 --> 00:07:08,166
Because I have a deep
and profound interest
165
00:07:08,210 --> 00:07:09,254
in the teacher.
166
00:07:10,342 --> 00:07:11,866
When it comes to
the meaning of life,
167
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:14,346
Professor Cutie may not
have all the answers,
168
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:17,219
but let's just say
he checks all the boxes.
169
00:07:21,266 --> 00:07:23,355
Here you go, math superstars.
170
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:25,401
Thanks, Dad.
And, of course
this doesn't mean that
171
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:26,707
we're better than anyone else,
172
00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:29,100
but it doesn't mean
that we're not.
173
00:07:31,276 --> 00:07:33,017
What do you say
we post a picture?
174
00:07:33,061 --> 00:07:35,759
And we should probably
mention that we're in
the advanced math class.
175
00:07:35,803 --> 00:07:37,369
You know, just to keep
people informed.
176
00:07:37,413 --> 00:07:39,110
Sure. Why not?
177
00:07:40,111 --> 00:07:42,853
Math sisters!
178
00:07:42,897 --> 00:07:44,028
Here. Take one of me.
179
00:07:46,204 --> 00:07:48,468
Look at me solving a problem.
180
00:07:48,511 --> 00:07:50,513
Ooh, this one's a toughie!
181
00:07:50,557 --> 00:07:52,950
Are you gettin' the book?
182
00:07:52,994 --> 00:07:54,299
Yeah. Got it.
183
00:07:54,343 --> 00:07:56,998
And the best part
about being math sisters?
184
00:07:57,041 --> 00:07:58,565
We can study together.
185
00:07:58,608 --> 00:08:01,393
You know, this class
is gonna be really hard,
186
00:08:01,437 --> 00:08:04,701
and I think I'd prefer
to study on my own,
so I can focus.
187
00:08:04,745 --> 00:08:07,704
Oh. Yeah. Okay. Sure.
188
00:08:07,748 --> 00:08:09,532
Wow, these pics are great.
189
00:08:09,576 --> 00:08:11,099
I am gonna post them all.
190
00:08:11,142 --> 00:08:13,536
Unless you think it might
come off a little too braggy.
191
00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:16,147
-Well, maybe a little too--
-And posted!
192
00:08:20,369 --> 00:08:23,241
Hey, Noodle.
Look at you, hard at work.
193
00:08:23,285 --> 00:08:27,115
Looks like I'm not the only one.
How's philosophy going?
194
00:08:27,158 --> 00:08:31,032
Great. I finally chatted
with Professor Cutie today.
195
00:08:31,075 --> 00:08:34,078
He told me he loves everything
about ancient Greece.
196
00:08:34,122 --> 00:08:35,776
So I said,
"If you love 'ancient grease,'
197
00:08:35,819 --> 00:08:38,126
you should come over
and clean my oven sometime."
198
00:08:38,169 --> 00:08:39,780
Good one.
199
00:08:39,823 --> 00:08:41,259
Plus, the oven could
really use it.
200
00:08:42,391 --> 00:08:43,740
So how's math?
201
00:08:43,784 --> 00:08:47,135
It's advanced,
but luckily so am I.
202
00:08:47,178 --> 00:08:48,571
Hey, you wanna help me
check my work?
203
00:08:48,615 --> 00:08:50,094
The answers are in
the back of the book.
204
00:08:50,138 --> 00:08:51,313
Sure.
205
00:08:55,012 --> 00:08:58,842
Okay. Number one,
X equals five is right.
206
00:08:58,886 --> 00:09:00,148
Yeah, is it!
207
00:09:00,191 --> 00:09:02,063
Number two is...
208
00:09:02,106 --> 00:09:04,761
-wrong.
-Of course it--
Wait, what?
209
00:09:04,805 --> 00:09:08,460
And so are the next three.
Sorry, Noodle.
210
00:09:09,026 --> 00:09:11,072
What? No way.
211
00:09:11,115 --> 00:09:12,856
Four to five?
212
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:15,424
It means I only got
20 percent right.
213
00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:17,208
Well, at least you know
your percentages.
214
00:09:17,252 --> 00:09:19,036
That has to count
for something.
215
00:09:25,477 --> 00:09:27,088
Ooh! Double-chocolate cupcakes?
216
00:09:27,131 --> 00:09:29,307
But don't even think about it.
They're for Olive.
217
00:09:29,351 --> 00:09:32,006
Olive's coming over?
I thought you said she likes
studying on her own.
218
00:09:32,049 --> 00:09:35,270
Oh, Dad, this has nothing
to do with studying.
219
00:09:35,313 --> 00:09:37,925
I just think Olive and I
deserve to celebrate some more.
220
00:09:37,968 --> 00:09:40,884
Well, celebrate this.
221
00:09:41,755 --> 00:09:44,235
"She's sweet and nice,
and, oh, so modest.
222
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:47,021
My kid's an absolute
math goddess."
223
00:09:48,370 --> 00:09:51,155
Wow, Dad, you made
a bumper sticker about me.
224
00:09:51,199 --> 00:09:52,766
I'm just so proud of you.
225
00:09:52,809 --> 00:09:55,420
And now I get to shove it
in Ed Jennings' face.
226
00:09:55,464 --> 00:09:57,945
Most annoying neighbor ever.
227
00:09:57,988 --> 00:10:00,338
Always plastering his car with
"Student of the Month,"
228
00:10:00,382 --> 00:10:02,819
"Spelling Bee Champ,"
"Ballet Star on Board."
229
00:10:02,863 --> 00:10:05,082
What kind of jerk
brags like that?
230
00:10:05,126 --> 00:10:07,650
I can't wait to see
his face when he gets
a look at this baby.
231
00:10:10,958 --> 00:10:12,873
Hey, Syd.
What was so urgent?
232
00:10:13,221 --> 00:10:15,963
I have a little surprise
for you!
233
00:10:16,006 --> 00:10:18,966
Oh, my goodness,
double chocolate cupcakes!
234
00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:20,184
So, what's the occasion?
235
00:10:20,707 --> 00:10:22,665
I don't think we really
celebrated us
236
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:24,754
being math sisters properly.
237
00:10:24,798 --> 00:10:27,061
Aw, that's so sweet of you.
238
00:10:27,104 --> 00:10:29,585
Okay, one cupcake.
Then I should get home to study.
239
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:30,891
Great.
240
00:10:34,111 --> 00:10:36,157
Math sisters!
241
00:10:39,421 --> 00:10:41,989
You know what?
Since you're here anyway,
242
00:10:42,032 --> 00:10:44,382
why don't we study
while we celebrate?
243
00:10:44,426 --> 00:10:46,080
You know. Just for fun.
244
00:10:46,123 --> 00:10:49,779
-Well, I guess we could...
-Oh, look, my math book!
245
00:10:53,087 --> 00:10:55,524
So, I started trying
to solve for "A,"
246
00:10:55,567 --> 00:10:57,874
but it's a tricky little devil.
247
00:10:57,918 --> 00:10:59,528
Here, let me get this
out of your way.
248
00:11:05,055 --> 00:11:06,491
You're up early.
249
00:11:06,535 --> 00:11:08,363
I guess you couldn't wait
to put on your new skates.
250
00:11:08,406 --> 00:11:11,235
I wanna work on
a couple of trick moves
before Alisha gets here.
251
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,847
You know, I was a pretty good
skater in my day.
252
00:11:13,890 --> 00:11:15,152
I could give you a hand.
253
00:11:15,196 --> 00:11:17,894
Please. I'm the best boarder
in my school.
254
00:11:17,938 --> 00:11:20,505
I think I can handle myself
on skates.
255
00:11:25,119 --> 00:11:26,294
Whoa!
256
00:11:26,337 --> 00:11:28,426
-Oh!
257
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:29,863
Max?
258
00:11:29,906 --> 00:11:32,082
Mom! That was all your fault.
259
00:11:32,126 --> 00:11:34,041
You're totally distracting me.
260
00:11:34,084 --> 00:11:35,999
Okay, fine.
We haven't seen the old gang
261
00:11:36,043 --> 00:11:38,175
at the emergency room
in a while, anyway.
262
00:11:43,180 --> 00:11:45,313
Oh!
263
00:11:52,102 --> 00:11:54,670
Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Aah!
264
00:11:55,236 --> 00:11:58,021
-Aah! Aah! Aah--
265
00:12:02,112 --> 00:12:04,201
I'd like to see you try.
266
00:12:07,204 --> 00:12:10,599
See, what you did here
is you didn't isolate
your variable.
267
00:12:10,642 --> 00:12:12,514
Oh, right.
268
00:12:12,557 --> 00:12:14,255
Of course. Duh!
269
00:12:14,298 --> 00:12:16,126
Okay, so for problem three--
270
00:12:16,170 --> 00:12:17,954
You know, Syd,
I think I'm gonna head home.
271
00:12:17,998 --> 00:12:19,521
Now? Already?
272
00:12:19,564 --> 00:12:21,218
There's a lot more
homework to do,
273
00:12:21,262 --> 00:12:23,003
and I need to concentrate.
274
00:12:23,046 --> 00:12:25,788
I love that we get twice
the homework in this class.
275
00:12:25,832 --> 00:12:28,225
And I thought math
was fun before.
276
00:12:29,705 --> 00:12:31,533
-Hi, Olive.
-Hey, Grandma J.
277
00:12:31,576 --> 00:12:34,188
Can't talk.
I've got homework!
278
00:12:36,364 --> 00:12:37,669
Are you ready for this?
279
00:12:37,713 --> 00:12:40,411
Professor Cutie was discussing
Socrates' speech
280
00:12:40,455 --> 00:12:42,152
on the nature of love.
281
00:12:42,196 --> 00:12:44,894
And he was looking right at me.
282
00:12:44,938 --> 00:12:47,984
True, I was wildly
raising my hand,
283
00:12:48,028 --> 00:12:50,117
but message received.
284
00:13:07,264 --> 00:13:09,963
Hey, Olive.
Whatcha been up to?
285
00:13:10,006 --> 00:13:14,097
Let's see...
I just took off my shoes!
286
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:16,360
Cool, cool.
287
00:13:16,404 --> 00:13:19,494
So I just called to thank you
for helping me today.
288
00:13:19,537 --> 00:13:21,017
No problem.
Anytime.
289
00:13:21,061 --> 00:13:23,237
How 'bout now?
Problem four.
290
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,412
Now?
291
00:13:25,630 --> 00:13:27,067
Okay.
292
00:13:28,459 --> 00:13:30,722
The first thing,
you gotta put all your "A's"
293
00:13:30,766 --> 00:13:32,333
on one side
of the equals sign
294
00:13:32,376 --> 00:13:34,988
and your numbers
on the other. Got it?
295
00:13:35,031 --> 00:13:37,207
Got it. Thanks, now,
296
00:13:37,251 --> 00:13:40,994
quit gabbing and
get back to work,
lazy bones!
297
00:13:50,655 --> 00:13:54,398
Guess who?
298
00:13:54,442 --> 00:13:58,011
The person who just
called me with a math issue?
299
00:13:59,273 --> 00:14:01,928
Syd, I really need
to get back to work.
300
00:14:01,971 --> 00:14:04,452
Oh, come on, Olive.
We always help each other.
301
00:14:04,495 --> 00:14:07,585
I mean, if you needed
help in English,
302
00:14:07,629 --> 00:14:11,981
I would dive right in
and help in any way
I could.
303
00:14:12,025 --> 00:14:14,505
Any way...
304
00:14:14,549 --> 00:14:16,943
I could.
305
00:14:18,553 --> 00:14:20,860
Okay. You're right.
306
00:14:20,903 --> 00:14:23,079
Let's go back to problem one.
307
00:14:23,123 --> 00:14:27,040
More like problem fun.
Am I right?
308
00:14:27,083 --> 00:14:30,173
Yeah. Fun.
309
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:40,096
Hey, Max!
Hope you didn't have breakfast,
310
00:14:40,140 --> 00:14:42,664
'cause you're gonna be
eating dirt all day.
311
00:14:43,708 --> 00:14:45,058
Actually, Alisha...
312
00:14:46,102 --> 00:14:47,190
I'm not going.
313
00:14:47,234 --> 00:14:48,888
What do you mean
you're not going?
314
00:14:48,931 --> 00:14:52,021
I tried skating.
And was awesome,
by the way.
315
00:14:53,283 --> 00:14:55,807
But I'm a boarder,
and to be honest,
316
00:14:55,851 --> 00:14:57,244
skating just isn't cool.
317
00:14:58,027 --> 00:15:00,508
I skate.
So what are you saying?
318
00:15:00,551 --> 00:15:02,075
I'm not cool?
319
00:15:02,118 --> 00:15:03,554
Uh...
320
00:15:03,598 --> 00:15:05,992
You know what?
My only problem is
321
00:15:06,035 --> 00:15:08,298
can I possibly have fun
without you?
322
00:15:08,342 --> 00:15:12,041
Wait a minute.
I think I can.
See ya, cool guy.
323
00:15:13,608 --> 00:15:15,523
Alisha, wait.
I didn't mean--
324
00:15:17,003 --> 00:15:18,918
Well, if you wanted
to upset her,
325
00:15:18,961 --> 00:15:20,745
I'd say you hit it
out of the park.
326
00:15:20,789 --> 00:15:22,530
Oh. You heard?
327
00:15:22,573 --> 00:15:25,098
Yeah. What was all that stuff
about skating not being cool?
328
00:15:25,141 --> 00:15:27,404
Mom, I can't let her
see me skate.
329
00:15:27,448 --> 00:15:29,189
Alisha is the last girl
in the world
330
00:15:29,232 --> 00:15:31,060
I'd want to embarrass myself
in front of.
331
00:15:31,104 --> 00:15:34,194
Max, and I say this
as a former girl,
332
00:15:34,237 --> 00:15:36,022
just be honest with her.
333
00:15:36,065 --> 00:15:38,720
She'll think it's sweet
that you tried skating
just to be with her.
334
00:15:38,763 --> 00:15:41,462
Well, speaking as a current boy,
335
00:15:41,505 --> 00:15:43,246
no way.
336
00:15:44,204 --> 00:15:46,075
All right. Well, then,
I guess there's nothing
you can do.
337
00:15:46,119 --> 00:15:47,468
But don't worry about Alisha.
338
00:15:47,511 --> 00:15:49,644
I'm sure she'll find
someone else to skate with.
339
00:15:49,687 --> 00:15:51,298
Maybe they'll even hold hands.
340
00:15:56,085 --> 00:15:58,827
Not bad scores
for the first test.
341
00:15:58,870 --> 00:16:02,004
If you have any questions,
feel free to keep them
to yourselves,
342
00:16:02,048 --> 00:16:04,006
'cause it's lunch time,
and I'm hungry.
343
00:16:04,050 --> 00:16:05,877
Come see me after school.
344
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:09,185
Let's go, Olive.
345
00:16:09,969 --> 00:16:11,100
Olive?
346
00:16:11,144 --> 00:16:14,147
I... I got a...
347
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:15,931
I got a "B."
348
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:18,673
A "B"? That's great.
This test was brutal.
349
00:16:18,716 --> 00:16:21,632
I've never gotten anything
but an "A" in math.
350
00:16:23,069 --> 00:16:25,332
Until now.
351
00:16:25,375 --> 00:16:27,334
Thanks for nothing, Syd.
352
00:16:27,377 --> 00:16:29,031
What's that supposed to mean?
353
00:16:29,075 --> 00:16:31,120
I spent so much time
helping you,
354
00:16:31,164 --> 00:16:33,383
I didn't have any time
to study on my own.
355
00:16:33,427 --> 00:16:35,603
Wait, so you're saying
getting a "B" is my fault?
356
00:16:35,646 --> 00:16:38,867
Come on, you didn't spend
that much time helping me.
357
00:16:38,910 --> 00:16:42,044
Mother birds who spit food
into their babies' mouths
358
00:16:42,088 --> 00:16:44,394
don't work as hard
as I did for you.
359
00:16:45,656 --> 00:16:48,659
The truth is, you shouldn't
even be in this class.
360
00:16:48,703 --> 00:16:50,661
How can you say that?
361
00:16:50,705 --> 00:16:53,055
Well, what'd you get
on your test?
362
00:16:54,578 --> 00:16:57,233
I don't see what that
has to do with anything.
363
00:16:58,278 --> 00:17:00,149
Come on, Syd.
You don't even like math.
364
00:17:00,193 --> 00:17:01,498
You just want
everyone to know
365
00:17:01,542 --> 00:17:03,109
you're the best at everything.
366
00:17:03,152 --> 00:17:05,111
What? Where's that coming from?
367
00:17:05,154 --> 00:17:08,070
Oh, I don't know.
"Hey, let's post some photos.
368
00:17:08,114 --> 00:17:09,680
Are you getting the math book?"
369
00:17:11,334 --> 00:17:14,076
Your problem is that
you don't think I'm
as smart as you are,
370
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:16,339
because you're Olive,
the big math whiz.
371
00:17:16,383 --> 00:17:19,429
That's right. Math is my thing,
372
00:17:19,473 --> 00:17:21,910
and you just couldn't let me
have this, could you?
373
00:17:21,953 --> 00:17:23,738
I don't even know
how to answer that.
374
00:17:23,781 --> 00:17:27,133
Just like your math problems.
Shocker.
375
00:17:28,569 --> 00:17:30,223
Oh, and next time you realize
376
00:17:30,266 --> 00:17:32,138
you have no idea
what you're doing?
377
00:17:32,181 --> 00:17:33,748
You figure it out.
378
00:17:42,104 --> 00:17:44,411
Hey, Syd.
Check out this lawn sign.
379
00:17:44,454 --> 00:17:47,109
"Proud dad of a math genius!"
380
00:17:47,153 --> 00:17:49,938
And the best part is
Ed Jennings has to walk
his dog past it
381
00:17:49,981 --> 00:17:50,808
twice a day.
382
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:53,028
Cool.
383
00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:54,334
Hey, what's wrong?
384
00:17:55,813 --> 00:17:57,250
Olive and I had a fight.
385
00:17:57,293 --> 00:18:00,209
-You've had fights before.
-Yeah, but not like this.
386
00:18:00,253 --> 00:18:03,256
She actually blamed me
for getting a "B"
on her math test.
387
00:18:03,299 --> 00:18:06,172
Olive got a "B" in math?
I thought she always got "A's."
388
00:18:07,173 --> 00:18:08,304
Go on.
389
00:18:09,827 --> 00:18:11,960
She claims she spent
so much time helping me
390
00:18:12,003 --> 00:18:14,441
that she didn't have enough
time to study on her own.
391
00:18:14,484 --> 00:18:16,573
Is it possible that she--
392
00:18:16,617 --> 00:18:19,010
No! We always
help each other out.
393
00:18:19,054 --> 00:18:21,143
But now it's all my fault.
394
00:18:21,187 --> 00:18:22,318
She actually had
the nerve to say
395
00:18:22,362 --> 00:18:23,928
she didn't think
I should be in the class.
396
00:18:23,972 --> 00:18:26,453
That's harsh.
So how'd you do on the test?
397
00:18:26,496 --> 00:18:30,109
What does that have
to do with anything?
398
00:18:31,936 --> 00:18:33,112
A "D"...
399
00:18:34,025 --> 00:18:35,244
Minus.
400
00:18:36,854 --> 00:18:38,639
Look, Syd...
401
00:18:38,682 --> 00:18:40,858
Do you think that possibly,
402
00:18:40,902 --> 00:18:44,384
there's an itsy-bitsy,
teeny-tiny chance
403
00:18:44,427 --> 00:18:48,475
that maybe this class
isn't for you?
404
00:18:49,432 --> 00:18:52,087
Of course it is.
I just need to...
405
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:53,262
study harder.
406
00:18:53,306 --> 00:18:55,177
I will stay up late
and work all weekend.
407
00:18:55,221 --> 00:18:57,179
Why do you have to put
so much pressure on yourself
408
00:18:57,223 --> 00:18:59,529
for something that you're not
even that passionate about?
409
00:18:59,573 --> 00:19:02,576
-I'm passionate about it.
-Really?
410
00:19:02,619 --> 00:19:05,361
You've spent hours
locked in your room
working on one bass lick,
411
00:19:05,405 --> 00:19:07,537
and you come out
with a smile on your face.
412
00:19:07,581 --> 00:19:09,148
You feel the same way
about math?
413
00:19:11,193 --> 00:19:13,804
Maybe.
I don't know.
414
00:19:13,848 --> 00:19:15,545
I could feel that way...
415
00:19:15,589 --> 00:19:17,112
One day.
416
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:19,201
All I'm saying is,
417
00:19:19,245 --> 00:19:21,072
you don't have to be
the best at everything.
418
00:19:25,381 --> 00:19:27,078
And just so you know,
419
00:19:27,122 --> 00:19:29,211
I don't need a yard sign
or a bumper sticker
420
00:19:29,255 --> 00:19:30,952
for the world to know
how proud I am of you.
421
00:19:30,995 --> 00:19:32,954
I say it every day.
422
00:19:32,997 --> 00:19:34,738
Thanks, Dad.
423
00:19:34,782 --> 00:19:36,436
Now, if you'll excuse me,
424
00:19:36,479 --> 00:19:38,742
I have to go cancel
the sky writing plane.
425
00:19:50,145 --> 00:19:52,626
-Hi, Alisha.
-Max.
426
00:19:55,019 --> 00:19:57,544
So, you said I left
something here?
427
00:19:58,284 --> 00:20:01,200
Right. I thought maybe
you left...
428
00:20:03,593 --> 00:20:05,160
This.
429
00:20:06,944 --> 00:20:08,294
Seriously?
430
00:20:08,337 --> 00:20:10,513
You thought I left
a picture of you...
431
00:20:10,557 --> 00:20:12,211
as a baby?
432
00:20:13,168 --> 00:20:15,126
Well, somebody put it here.
433
00:20:19,566 --> 00:20:21,307
What do you want, Max?
434
00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:24,571
To tell you I'm really,
really sorry about the way
I acted yesterday.
435
00:20:24,614 --> 00:20:27,704
You're cool. You're, like,
the coolest person I know.
436
00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:29,097
Really?
437
00:20:29,140 --> 00:20:31,578
Then why'd you say
the things you did?
438
00:20:34,189 --> 00:20:37,018
Because I can't skate.
439
00:20:37,061 --> 00:20:40,108
I tried, and I just
fell on my face.
440
00:20:40,151 --> 00:20:42,153
That's what this is all about?
441
00:20:42,197 --> 00:20:44,068
Why didn't you just tell me?
442
00:20:44,112 --> 00:20:47,550
I was embarrassed,
and afraid you'd laugh at me.
443
00:20:47,594 --> 00:20:49,683
No way.
I'd never laugh at you.
444
00:20:49,726 --> 00:20:52,033
I would've thought
it was really sweet of you
to try skating
445
00:20:52,076 --> 00:20:53,730
just so you could
hang out with me.
446
00:20:53,774 --> 00:20:56,472
Really? Wow.
447
00:20:56,516 --> 00:20:58,169
My mom was right.
448
00:20:58,213 --> 00:21:00,084
How'd that happen?
449
00:21:01,738 --> 00:21:04,611
Hey, how about I teach you
how to skate?
450
00:21:04,654 --> 00:21:07,135
You'd do that?
That would be great.
451
00:21:07,178 --> 00:21:09,050
But you should know,
452
00:21:09,093 --> 00:21:11,139
every teacher that has
ever tried to help me
453
00:21:11,182 --> 00:21:12,880
has lived to regret it.
454
00:21:18,494 --> 00:21:20,235
Hey, Olive.
455
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:21,541
Can we talk?
456
00:21:21,584 --> 00:21:24,413
Sorry, I'm busy with
my new best friend.
457
00:21:24,457 --> 00:21:27,111
Math. She gets me.
458
00:21:29,070 --> 00:21:31,507
But I want to apologize.
459
00:21:33,596 --> 00:21:35,990
Olive, I've been
so awful to you.
460
00:21:37,034 --> 00:21:40,081
I just wanted to stay
in this class so badly that...
461
00:21:40,124 --> 00:21:42,170
I took advantage
of our friendship.
462
00:21:43,127 --> 00:21:45,913
And you're right.
Math is your thing.
463
00:21:45,956 --> 00:21:47,306
I should've been happy for you,
464
00:21:47,349 --> 00:21:49,395
instead of making it about me.
465
00:21:50,134 --> 00:21:54,138
Maybe it's time to accept
that I don't need to be
good at everything.
466
00:21:54,182 --> 00:21:57,968
Yeah. You're good at
so many things already.
467
00:21:58,012 --> 00:22:00,231
-It's almost kind of annoying.
468
00:22:00,275 --> 00:22:03,060
Olive, I'm so sorry.
469
00:22:03,104 --> 00:22:04,627
I so forgive you.
470
00:22:04,671 --> 00:22:07,717
Thank you.
I'll see you at lunch.
471
00:22:07,761 --> 00:22:10,024
What do you mean?
We have class.
472
00:22:10,764 --> 00:22:12,026
I spoke to Ms. Williams,
473
00:22:12,069 --> 00:22:15,116
and I'm switching back
to regular math.
474
00:22:15,159 --> 00:22:17,684
I never should've been in
this class in the first place.
475
00:22:17,727 --> 00:22:19,120
Are you sure?
476
00:22:19,163 --> 00:22:21,905
Yeah. I'm sure.
477
00:22:21,949 --> 00:22:24,212
Okay. But for the record,
478
00:22:24,255 --> 00:22:26,040
math isn't my best friend.
479
00:22:26,083 --> 00:22:29,217
You are.
And math is just gonna
have to get over it.
480
00:22:34,918 --> 00:22:37,834
So, Max, we both know
you're a great boarder,
481
00:22:37,878 --> 00:22:40,228
but skates are different.
Just try and be patient.
482
00:22:40,271 --> 00:22:41,795
Okay.
483
00:22:41,838 --> 00:22:45,146
Now, why don't we just try
standing in the skates first?
484
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:48,584
See?
485
00:22:48,628 --> 00:22:50,107
There you go!
486
00:22:50,151 --> 00:22:51,587
-Whoa!
487
00:22:55,069 --> 00:22:56,636
Nailed it!
488
00:22:59,943 --> 00:23:01,162
Here.
489
00:23:01,902 --> 00:23:03,120
Take my hand.
490
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:10,084
Now just pretend
you're wearing
two tiny skateboards.
491
00:23:15,132 --> 00:23:16,395
There you go!
492
00:23:16,438 --> 00:23:18,179
You're gonna get this
in no time.
493
00:23:18,222 --> 00:23:19,963
I don't know.
494
00:23:20,007 --> 00:23:22,226
I have a feeling
this is gonna take a while.
495
00:23:25,273 --> 00:23:28,145
♪ Do do, do do do do,
do do♪
496
00:23:29,756 --> 00:23:33,107
