the California coast.

Six squads total.

We're holding

an emergency session

of the discretionary panel.

About what ?

We've never had a situation

like this before.

We really should

disqualify you and--

No, don't punish the squad.

It was my choice

to hire Sparky, not theirs.

Don't penalize everyone

for my bad judgment.

But since there's

no precedent for this,

there's nothing

in the rule books

that forbids it.

It's simply frowned upon,

and I suppose

we can't disqualify you

on those grounds alone.

As defending champions,

you are guaranteed

a bid to Florida,

but know that we'll

be watching you.

And don't expect

to show up at finals

with that routine.

[Announcer]

Taking the floor now--

What are you doing ?

You're wrecking

everything built !

Its not totally her fault.

I hooked up--

This season should have

been gravy, okay ?

I handpicked the squad,

I delivered

an idiot-proof routine.

- Platter, nationals, hello !

- Don't you mean

a stolen routine ?

Oh. Don't be

so naive, Torrance.

Look, the truth is

I was a real leader, okay ?

I did what I had to do

to win at nationals,

and ever since I handed

the reins over to you, you've run

my squad into the ground !

If I made any mistake

as a squad leader,

it wasn't borrowing cheers.

It was announcing you

as my successor.

Uh-uh. Not cool.

Hey, Tor. Tor. Wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

Let me go. I just

wanna get out of here.

Hey, Big Red's a b*tch.

We all know that.

Even she knows that.

I don't know

what to do here, Aaron.

Look. I know I haven't

always been there for you

since I went to college.

It's been

a rough transition,

for both of us.

But I still care about you

as much as I ever did.

You know that, right ?

You do ?

Of course.

Which is why I hate

to see you like this,

all stressed out.

It's not good for you.

You're a great cheerleader,

Tor, and you're cute as hell.

Its just that maybe--

[ Sighs ]

Maybe...

youre just not

captain material,

and there's nothing

wrong with that.

Maybe you should consider

letting Courtney and Whitney

take over the squad.

Theyre just like Big Red.

You want me

to give up captain ?

Hey, let them deal

with the politics.

You just do

what you do best, Tor.

You cheer.

Cheer, Tor. Okay ?

I just wanna see you happy.

Bye.

Mm.

Mmm.

Sleep tight, sweetie.

[ Sighs ]

Friend of yours ?

He's my boyfriend.

Look, Cliff,

I can explain.

No. It's cool.

Here, um,

I made you a tape too.

Cliff--

Hey, Torrance, uh,

its me, Cliff.

Um, here's, uh--

I wrote something, uh,

for you, so here it is.

[Clears Throat]

Oh, Torrance

Cant stand

your cheerleading squad

But I love

your pom-poms

I'd feed you bonbons

all night

One, two, three, four!

[Hard Rock]

Yeah, you got me to feel

all those butterflies inside

In your locker I would hide

The truth

It's only you I see

And you're just

what I need

I'd bring you flowers

everyday

Just to roll you

in the hay

Well, I'm feelin' fine

I'm right on time

I know I'll get my way

And youre just

what I need

And youre just

what I need

Not everything

works as it seems

Is that so hard

to believe

'Cause you're just

what I need

And youre just

what I need

Not everything

works as it seems

Is that so hard

to believe

Yeah

[ Sighs ]

Aaron called us

last night.

He told us

you're turning

the squad over to us.

Just because you bit

the big one as captain,

does not mean

we're gonna be

super hard on you.

Oh.

We'll treat you

as if you...

didn't screw us

into the ground.

Gee, thanks.

Everyone.

Torrance is not

to be harmed.

We've already decided

on a course of action.

We're gonna forego

nationals this year.

- [ Sighs ]

- [Whitney] Everyone's

already agreed to it.

Uh, except me.

And me !

- Both of you can be replaced.

- [Torrance]

I can't believe you guys.

The only person who can

officially resign the post

of captain is the captain,

and I'm not

going anywhere.

Then we'll have

to overthrow you.

Which we will !

Enough !

Our whole cheering career,

we've staked our reputation

on being the best,

the most inventive.

Now we finally have a chance

to truly be original,

and you're all running scared.

[Courtney]

She's crazy.

I am not crazy,

and I'm not resigning

as captain either.

- You're gonna have

to kill me first.

- That can be arranged.

Shut it, Whitney !

Let her talk !

Look, I know I've screwed up

royally as captain,

but I believe in this squad,

and know we can

bounce back from this.

I'm not saying

it's gonna be easy.

It's gonna be hard work.

We need a new routine,

something amazing and fresh,

and we've got less than

three weeks till nationals,

but if we can do it,

if we can pull this off,

then we can really

call ourselves original.

Now who's with me ?

All right !

Yeah.

Yeah !

Yeah !

How 'bout it, girls ?

It's gonna be hard

without you two.

[ Sighs ]

Fine.

Sure.

Whatever.

Okay. Let's do this.

[Torrance]

Were gonna devote

every waking hour to practice--

before school,

in between classes

and after school.

Afternoon practices

will have to be twice as long.

We've gotta do

whatever it takes to be

in perfect physical shape.

Yeah. You can go

a little harder.

Yeah, that feels good.

Maybe we should

join the squad.

Push.

Oh, yeah.

Fag !

[Torrance] And since

the football team sucks

no matter how hard we cheer,

we'll use night games

to practice too.

But thats not all.

Were gonna study

other types of movement,

from swing dance...

to interpretive dance,

...you grow and you

grow and you bloom !

even mime.

We'll draw inspiration

from martial arts,

Hah !

musicals, everything.

You guys know

weve got the talent.

We've just gotta work our asses

off and trust our instincts--

all of our instincts.

[Loud Rock]

[Aluminum Can

Clattering]

Tor ! Wha-- Wow !

What are you doing here ?

Just wanted to

come by and see you.

Is this a bad time ?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm super busy.

I'm workin'

on this project--

Yeah, you sound super busy.

I guess that's it.

You were too busy

to believe in me.

Oh. No, no, but wait.

You weren't too busy

to sell me out to Courtney

and Whitney, were you ?

Gee, now I'm confused.

Well, I hope you're not

too busy to hear this.

Kiss my ass, Aaron !

It's over !

- [ Scoffs ]

- [ Gasps ]

You're a great

cheerleader, Aaron.

Its just that...

maybe you're not exactly

boyfriend material.

Bye-bye.

You're a cheerleader ?

[ Disgusted Sigh ]

U.C.A. just posted the nationals

list on the Internet.

East Compton isn't on it.

They couldn't raise

the money in time.

- They're not going.

- What do you mean,

"They're not going" ?

Torrance,

that's good news.

They cannot not go.

That's not good news.

What are you talking about ?

They don't go, we win.

Once again we're the best.

I define best as competing

against the best there is

out there and beating them.

- They have to go.

- [ Sighs ]

It's so unfair. The first
