Bruno & Boots: This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall Page #5

---

the charm.

A few adjustments and...

Not again! Whoa!

Bruno!

Bruno!

Come on, come on!

Wha...

I've been thinking...

Maybe we should pull back

on this prank war.

What? Why?

- I just think it's

- getting out of hand.

- I don't know what you're

- talking about.

- This prank is going

- to be beautiful.

What prank?

No, no, don't!

No! No!

What's wrong? You can dish it

out but you can't take it?

Cathy!

Guys!

- I knew this

- would escalate!

I'm doing this for you!

Guys, stop!

You're gonna break it!

Walton, what are you doing?

Guys! Guys, look!

Who would leave

this lovely box here?

No, no, no!

What?

Nuts.

Now, Mr. Sturgeon and I

understand that this has been

a difficult time.

Actually, "we" don't.

- I think what William

- is trying to say

is that we feel

your confusion.

Hmm... no, I'm not.

I'm too busy feeling

very, very pink.

Sir, I think I can

speak for all of us

when I say pink is

definitely your color.

- And I think I can speak

- for all of us when I say

This is entirely Bruno's fault.

My fault?

Who was the one who put

all the moustaches

and wigs all over Chris'

masterpieces?

Well, who's the one that

painted the entire staircase

that I walked into?

I've still got a headache.

Oh, I have something for that.

Where is my wet noise generator?

Oh, it's drying out.

On the roof.

The thing I don't understand

is... I thought

you all liked each other.

We do.

I mean, we're friends.

Arguable.

Mr. Sturgeon,

Ms. Scrimmage,

we only did all this to show you

that we couldn't get along

so you would split us

back up and...

everything would go

back to normal.

I guess it just...

got out of hand.

That is the most...

Idiotic,

harebrained, impossible...

Poignant, understandable,

beautiful...

Beautiful...

- Wait, what?

- Well, William, we're the ones

Who forced them to do this,

so this is really our fault.

Is this really happening?

Oh, and it gets better.

Watch.

Wait a minute.

I'm not the reason I got

pink powder up my nose.

Aren't you, William?

In your heart.

I think it's time to let

bygones be bygones.

We have so much to learn

from each other...

which we could do at

a coed equinox gathering

of movement and co-mingling!

I believe what she's trying

to say is a dance, and no,

- I don't think this is the right

- time for that, Eugenia.

Nonsense! It's a perfect way

to let off some steam

through vigorous

rhythmic activity.

Yeah, actually, I think that

would be a really good way

for everyone to just...

get along again.

Really.

Do you think that's

possible, hm? Walton?

Ms. Burton?

Absolutely.

Come on! Rubber chicken,

Cayenne pepper, bird's nest...

There is no way

that evil girl's not

planning something.

We have to be ready.

Bruno, we literally just agreed

to let bygones be bygones.

Which we'll do,

but if they start bygoning

again, we'll be ready.

Ah, there you are!

Old Faithful.

- I've actually rigged it

- to a small battery

So it's way more buzzy. Hope

Diane doesn't have a pacemaker.

No!

Oh, come on!

- Dude, it doesn't hurt that bad.

- I do it to myself.

- Why do I get to have

- all of the fun, you know?

Bruno, I mean

no more pranks.

No more revenge.

It's over.

Wait, what's over? Like, us?

No, of course not!

Just... we can deal with

a little bit of change.

It's only until

the end of the year.

Sorry, do you smell that?

Oh yeah, it's you.

Stinking and sounding

like The Fish.

Dude, I don't know what's

happening to you anymore.

- Maybe I just

- don't want everybody

To end up hating everybody.

Maybe I actually liked

living with those other guys,

doing different stuff.

Since when?

You were the one who was all,

"I don't know what to do, Bruno.

- I don't want change.

- I don't want to room

With anybody else, Bruno!"

Yeah, well, maybe I've

changed. You know what,

maybe The Fish was right.

Maybe we should be apart.

Oh wow!

Ah! Okay.

Oh, come now, William,

it's going to be fun!

Music, movement, mutual respect.

Eugenia,

in my not inconsiderable

experience, I have found

that forced gatherings

meant to create amity

usually do

the exact opposite.

Oh, you. What could

possibly go wrong?

What could go wrong?

Where shall I start?

It's like you're standing

on the edge of a cliff

and you can't help but take

the extra step.

And you're like a fussy man

in a suit who doesn't believe

that kids can

have fun at a dance.

You don't quite understand how

analogies work, do you, Eugenia?

Analogies are like kids.

Sometimes you just have

to trust them.

Oh...

I want you by my side

You were saying?

Ooh, dolphin!

I could barely hide

I will fall for you

That way

We could just go over there

and ask them to dance.

Or... just hear me out here, we

could stay right here, and not.

I like this plan.

It's workable

and it has a lower

humiliation factor.

OK, guys, what is the worst

thing that is gonna happen?

Okay, that's pretty bad.

You know if we don't even try,

Ms. Scrimmage will make us all

- do a sharing circle

- about it tomorrow.

Okay, I'd rather do

a hot yoga sharing circle

in a parka

than let that guy

have even one chance

to laugh at us.

Cathy, do you think

you're maybe getting

a little... obsessed?

- I don't know what

- you're talking about.

Cathy?

Alright, how much longer do we

have to force these children

- to endure this?

- Oh!

Hey, everybody!

Are you ready to dance?

Get this outta here!

That's right, it's me,

TV's Kip Kipperson,

here to answer

that age-old question...

Boogie or Breakdown?

No, no, no, no!

I'm still picking cupcakes

out of my ears.

I don't know who's

responsible for this,

but it's just

what we need.

- I knew Walton would

- pull something.

This has Burton written

all over it. In pen.

Now, I'm gonna ask

two participants

to come up here

into our dance-agon

and show us their

most groovetastic moves

while the rest of us

and the viewers online

make the decision: Boogie

or Breakdown?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

No, no, no, no!

Yes!

Awesome!

Now, what do you

crazy kids have to say

before you boogie

or breakdown?

Holy Mother!

I have nothing to do with

this, but I just wanna say

thank you to whoever it was.

Was it my girls?

No!

Let's just say

it was a fun-nonymous tipster

who knew that this place

needed some funk in its trunk,

some swing in its sting,

some black in its blue.

Now you're just

talking nonsense.

Hey, doesn't matter, we've got

13 million YouTube followers!

A Macdonald Hall headmaster

does not bust moves.

Get fly, bowtie!

William, loosen up!

Go Sturgeon!

This is a trap!

I can smell it!

Hold on, girls!

We didn't plan this!

Ha-ha-ha!

Such hijinks, such wild abandon!

If only I could be

part of such fun.

Come on, Cathy!

What are you doing here?

I'm about to end this nightmare!

Not before I do!

Drop it, drop it!

Drop it!

Everybody, back!

Is everybody okay? Everybody?

Okay?

Hello, Sturgeon.

Hartley?

What are you doing here?
