Oh, I think

the real question is:

what are you doing here?

I'm headmaster of this school.

Oh, really? And for how long?

I would think that after

a disastrous prank war,

the last thing a responsible

headmaster would do

is hold a Boogie or Breakdown

competition

in front of 10 million

YouTube viewers!

Thirteen million.

Oh, God.

How would you even

know about...

Hello? Kip Kipperson, from

Boogie or Breakdown Productions?

Great. I have an event

that I think you'd be

Kip-tastic for.

Diabolical laughter

in the halls.

Three demerits.

I dig the use of "Kip-tastic",

but you used dance

for evil, man,

and that is not cool with Kip.

Eh.

I just don't understand

how you thought this was

a good idea, Sturgeon.

You know, it wasn't

exactly my idea,

Superintendent Snow.

And that's the problem.

You've lost control.

Hosting the Scrimmage girls

is one thing, but a prank war?

An internet dance fiasco?

And reports

you were seen doing...

the stanky leg?

Hello, this is Eugenia

Scrimmage and I think

I can help.

Oh, please don't.

We have had some interesting

transition challenges,

it's nothing that a sharing

circle couldn't sort out.

Ms. Scrimmage, the Governing

Board of Governance and I

couldn't agree more.

In fact, we are prepared

to have our own sharing

circle when we discuss

who will run the Hall before

someone gets seriously hurt.

Surely you don't mean...

firing me?

That is one option

on the table.

We do have a very qualified

replacement

who is willing and able to...

No. No, please, don't say...

Hello, Sturgeon.

Hartley.

It's me, Rob Hartley.

Yeah, I just said that.

Oh.

Mr. Hartley

has some very interesting ideas

about how better to serve

- the students of Macdonald Hall.

- Mm-hmm.

Oh, I'm sure he's very

interested in my job,

since he just lost his own.

Well, you see,

let me explain that.

Like many great men before me,

I was duped... duped, I say...

By cougar traffickers,

but all charges were

dropped, Sturgeon,

when I agreed to testify

against everyone,

- including people

- I've never met before.

So all's well that ends well.

We can discuss

all of this, including just who

is best suited to run the Hall,

when the Board meets at the Hall

tomorrow. Hartley?

Mm-hmm. I wouldn't

miss it for the world.

Your evil is

showing, Hartley.

Oh. Thought I'd hung up.

Still on, Hartley.

Oh.

Tomorrow, Sturgeon.

We will support you,

William, don't worry.

My girls, myself,

my entire school...

We will all be behind you.

Eugenia,

I'm right over here.

William,

are you alright?

I told my boys

that change was good,

- that it was a necessary

- part of life

- And they could

- deal with it and...

And you were right.

No, I was wrong!

I was very wrong.

Now I have to fix it.

Somehow.

Where did you

learn those moves?

Don't you wanna see, Cathy?

Everyone's having a blast.

Okay, where you see a blast,

I see another Bruno Walton plot.

Yeah, well,

we sure see something.

Girls, we need to talk.

I'll get the sharing stick.

I'd like to propose

another study session:

revenge and its practical

applications.

Diane, forget the stick.

And I'm not here to talk

- about a study session.

- I'm here to say that,

For the first time

in my life as an educator

and an awakening

specialist, that I am...

disappointed.

In who?

Yeah, tell us

and they're done.

In you girls and your behavior.

But I...

I don't understand.

Is this what

they call... criticism?

Yes, it is, and I think

you all need some.

Mr. Sturgeon opened up

his hall to us

in our time of need,

and how have we repaid him?

Through prank wars

and dance disasters

and horrible manners!

Manners?

What is this supposed to be, a

young ladies' finishing school?

I thought you wanted

strong, independent women

that take...

I do Strong independent women

know how to treat their friends,

which is apparently something

you don't know how to do.

- Oh, nice try, but I'm still

- not talking to you, dude.

- Yeah, well, I didn't ask

- for this meeting, you did.

Wrong again, Melvin.

Yeah, that's right,

- I'm so mad at you I'm not even

- using your cool nickname,

- Which I gave you.

- Wait.

If I didn't set this up

and you didn't set this up,

then who set this up?

We did.

We need to talk,

all of us.

- I'd rather eat dirt

- than talk to her.

- Oh, I can arrange that.

- Stop!

Guys, Sturgeon might get fired

because we can't get along.

- Fired?

- What do you mean?

How do you know?

When Scrimmage came

and gave us a lecture...

Wait, wait.

Scrimmage lectured you?

Yeah, pretty freaky.

So we checked around,

talked to some

of our resources... we can't

really tell you who,

it's hush-hush, but...

We asked Mrs. Davis.

The Board's meeting tomorrow

to decide if Sturgeon goes

and Hartley

takes his place.

Whoa, The Fish can be a real

pain in the pants sometimes...

Yeah, but no way the Hall

would deserve Hartley.

This is all our fault.

No,

I'd say it's 30% us,

70% the Scrimmage girls.

Oh my...

But who's counting, right?

Well, 100% of us

need to do something.

She's right. Thankfully,

I have a plan.

Bruno!

It's risky, you know,

and may involve military

vehicles and a lot of penguins...

We do nothing.

Boots, if we don't

do anything,

Sturgeon could get fired

- and Hartley would be - running the Hall.

- No.

He's right.

Everything we've been doing,

it all has to stop.

But when Sturgeon

is having that meeting,

the Hall needs to be

the quietest,

best school

in the country.

So no pranks and no revenge.

Okay.

- Just to be clear,

- I'm still mad at you.

Yeah, me too.

We still have to tell the boys.

And I'll tell the girls.

For one day in

the Hall's history,

no surprises.

You gotta be kidding me!

A hot air balloon?

It is I, crown prince

of Malbonia, Francisco Diaz.

I ran away to come here

to be a Macdonald Hall boy

like you said I should, Bruno.

So, where's all

the fun to be had?

You were right.

It does taste like stardust.

So funny!

What's the problem, Smith?

George isn't a big fan

of the homeless.

I mean, where

do they even live?

But that's not what my look

of horror is about, O'Neal.

Am I the only one here who

follows international news?

Of course I am.

People of Malbonia,

something terrible

has happened.

Late last night,

our beloved prince regent

Francisco

was taken

from Castle Malbonia

by some unscrupulous monsters

who left a note with

only one word:
Canada.

Franny, did you

write that note?

The Prime Minister

of this strange and exotic land

has agreed to help us.

Rest assured, my people,

when we find out

where Francisco is,

there will be terrible

consequences.

Awesome.

Remember Malbonia's

royal motto:

Never forget. Never forgive.

Never forget, never forgive.

Okay.

Wait, you ran away!

This isn't our fault!

This is a fair point.

- We just need to take him

- to the Malbonia Embassy

and explain what happened.

No!

I came here to have fun.
