This is how you shoot.

That's it.

(LAUGHS)

lt's perfect.

Peep this.

Okay.

Lina! Hey, you came!

(EXCLAlMlNG EXClTEDLY)

Good news. You made the team.

Let's face it,

she is the team.

And we voted

you team captain.

But you're captain.

Yeah. By default, and l suck.

But you are really good.

Yeah.

You could fix us.

You know, l thought

l can do this, but no.

Come on.

Come on.

Use your powers for good.

l mean, we do cheer

at, like, all of Evan's games.

Yeah.

So? l don't care about him.

(LAUGHS) Right.

We'll pretend like

we believe that.

Please, Lina, we will work

really hard. Because we could

be really good. l promise.

l'd settle for upright.

Good luck with that.

We still have to

fill another spot.

You could fill it with whoever

you want to. lt could be

somebody good. l just. . .

Yeah? Like who?

You swear to help me out?

l will do whatever it takes.

Okay, l'm in.

ALL CHEERlNG)

(DOORBELL RlNGS)

Yes? Can l help you?

(SCREAMlNG) Lina!

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

Meet the newest

member of our squad.

Go, Sea Crabs!

Sea Lions.

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

You said to make

more of an effort.

Oye, guey, you got

one smoking casa!

Thank you.

Okay. Henry's kindness

is no excuse for you to take

advantage of him, Lina!

Not even a little?

Gloria, tu mama,

she must be

worried about you.

l almost forgot.

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

She's got to go to work,

but she'll call you in

the morning to thank you.

l have a boyfriend.

Mama thinks this is like

putting me in the Virginity

Protection Program.

You do realize that there's

a waiting list at MV, right?

Dad, can't you, like,

dialog with the principal?

Dialog? Please tell me

you're not teaching

her hood talk.

Come on, Dad.

Strings get pulled

all the time.

George Bush got into

Yale, didn't he?

Come on. No cheerleader

left behind.

Please, Daddy? Please.

She used the "Daddy" card.

She's good.

All right.

ALL SCREECHlNG)

Thank you.

Thank you.

(THANKlNG lN SPANlSH)

GlRL:
Five, six, seven, eight.

(UPBEAT SONG PLAYlNG)

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

Are those the Mountain Lions?

lt's the Sea Lions.

And no, those

are the Jaguars.

No. That was a big

bowl of wrong !

(YOWLlNG)

Yeah.

Looks like Dora the

Explorer has a new pal.

Seriously, Cat,

you're like a stalker.

Don't you have anything else,

l don't know, better to do?

Better than watching

you sweat off

a spray tan? Yes, l do.

As a matter of fact,

l'm going to Sea

Lion practice.

They voted me captain.

And you're bragging about it.

What a cheer-barrassment.

Don't act like you didn't

want to be the captain

of the Sea Lions, Avery.

That was way back

when l was into charity.

l'm so over that.

Over.

You're a big muscular girl.

Are you gonna practice

with the Sea Lions, too?

Or just bench press them?

ALL LAUGHlNG)

(EMPHATlCALLY) Wait, wait,

wait. She said you have

grande muscles.

Strong like bull.

Oh. . .

l'm bilingual. Right?

l speak b*tch, too.

You got them right, man.

Cheer-brujas. Mean and bony.

Better than fat.

Let's go.

You know. . . ln a sec.

But your girls,

they're coming in too early.

They need to hold

on one, and then. . .

(LAUGHlNG)

Right.

Now train your little

Sea Lions to do that.

Then maybe l'll be impressed.

l'd rather be a Sea Lion,

if this is the best you got.

So, Cat, l'm guessing

your little amiga hasn't seen

the rest of the pod squad yet.

Has she?

They're really good. Really.

Really good.

Your Sea Otters

got skills, right?

(UPBEAT DANCE MUSlC PLAYlNG)

They have potential.

Really? Where do they keep it?

Why is that girl dancing

with her tongue out?

She said it helps

her concentrate.

l used to have a

dog who did that.

He couldn't cheer either.

Okay. All right, l know

it's bad, but, Christina,

she's got tumbling skills

and Sky has spirit.

And don't forget her mom

won, like, every award.

Like, deep down, she's got

cheerleading in her gut!

Too bad it's not in

her brain or muscles.

We've got some work to do.

Yeah.

Six, seven, eight.

One, two, three. . .

Load it out.

Load it out.

. . .four, five, six,

seven, eight.

One, two, three, four.

High knees. High knees.

Six. You ain't cute.

One, two, three,

four, five, six.

Hey! Hey.

(UPBEAT DANCE MUSlC PLAYlNG)

Four, five, six. One.

(GROANlNG)

GlRL:
Are you okay?

You all right, man?

l'd rather eat

underwear and die.

Sweaty, day-old,

butt-wedgie underwear.

Whitney, come back!

She was one of our

best dancers. l mean, l know

that's not saying much,

but what are we

supposed to do now?

l've got an idea.

(DOORBELL RlNGlNG)

(SQUEALlNG)

ln the house!

ALL LAUGHlNG)

(GASPS)

This is nice! You all

should go on Cribs.

Hey, l'm Treyvonetta.

Girl, how many

bedrooms you all got?

Six bedrooms and seven

and a half baths.

We can each have

own our own suite.

(SQUEALlNG) Nice! Sweet!

LlNA:
l'll show you a tour.

ALL SCREECHlNG)

Okay, Gloria, Trey

and l are gonna break

it down for you. Okay?

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three and four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One and two, three and four.

Five, six and roll it out.

One, two, three and give it.

l feel so white.

Me, too.

Like Clay Aiken white.

Okay, okay. Come on, get up.

You know, rhythm has no color.

You know, just shake and jive.

Gonna have some fun.

That's right! Come on.

Shake what your mama gave you.

l mean, we just could keep

the old routine until,

like, after the game.

Or until we graduate.

Look, you want this school

to respect you, right?

Yeah.

ALL:
Yeah.

Then you've need to

respect yourselves.

Which means you need

to improve on your skills.

That's right. So let's

drop it like it's hot.

ALL GASP)

Hit it, girl.

Take notes.

Yeah. ls there an

easier version that's

maybe, like, lukewarm?

Sky, this is the easy version.

Now, come on, Sea Lions.

(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH)

You can do this.

That's right, come on.

All right. Get into formation.

(SPANlSH SONG

PLAYlNG ON RADlO)

Gloria, look who's here.

Victor!

(SCREAMlNG)

Victor!

You came all the way

out here to see me.

You're my chulita.

l'd follow you anywhere.

That's sweet.

Can you spot me

a twenty for gas?

No!

Damn !

Yo, who's this?

l'm Sky. lt's a

pleasure to meet you.

So you're Lina's sister

from another mister.

l haven't thought

of it like that.

No, no. Not really.

Hey, Lina. Who is that dude

over there checking you out?

Oh !

Go ahead, Lina.

That boy's finer

than baby hair.

Whatever. He's just some guy.

Yeah, right. Evan's,

like, the most popular

guy in school.

Please. l'm not impressed.

Lina, if Malibu Ken

is sweating you,

l can put that fool in

check, real quick.

Look at this guy.

Look at this guy.

Go get him, papi. You go!

(LAUGHlNG)

Do that.

What's happening?

He's a mess.

What's up, bro?

Dude, is that your ride?

Yeah, foo, cherried-out,

top of the line hydraulics.

What do you know

about that, beach boy?

(LAUGHS)

She's a head turner.

All right. Check this out.

l hope he doesn't

scare him too much.
