Whoo!

Man:
Lucille,

Get Your Brother.

Think Fast!

Boy:
Ah, Here It Comes.

I'm Striking Him Out

This Time.

Give It To Me.

[Ball Beeping]

Ooh, Swing And A Miss.

What's There

To Do In Utah?

Same Stuff They Do Here,

Except Much Slower.

Hey, Good Luck

Trying To Find

A Kosher Hot Dog

In That State.

Yeah.

Come On,

Give It To Me.

Boy:
Here It Comes.

[Beeping]

[Dog Barking]

All Right,

You Got This One!

Strike You Out.

Here It Comes.

Here It Comes.

Ooh, Nice Hit!

That's Out

Of Here!

Bet The Only Jazz They Have

Is The Basketball Team.

Come On, Switch It Up.

That Sounds Bleak.

I'm Happy It's You

And Not Me Going To Utah.

Thanks.

All Right, Come On.

Ready For This?

Yeah!

Ok, Here We Go.

All Right, Give Me A Target.

Come On!

[Hand Pounding Mitt]

They Got A Music Program

At This School?

Get This, Their Band

Plays At Football Games.

Whoa, Hold Me Back.

Hey, Who Wants An Egg Cream?

I'm Buying.

Oh, You Know I'm In.

I Don't Know

What Happened.

You Know,

I Was Going Along

Perfectly Happy.

My Dad Gets

One Phone Call,

My Life Turns Into

An After-School Special.

That'll Be $8.00, Kids.

Bummer.

Yeah, You Can Say

That Again.

Bummer.

Bummer.

Oh, Bummer.

Bummer.

Bummer.

That's It. You Guys

Are Going Down.

We're Gonna Miss You, Man.

[Whinnies]

Man:
Up There

On The Right.

Oh, Wow!

Woman:
Oh, Honey, Looks Great.

It's Huge!

Jace, We're Gonna

Have To Teach You

How To Mow A Lawn.

This Is Gonna Work

For All Of Us.

I Think This Is

Gonna Be Great.

Hey.

Good Morning.

Um, Would You Mind Putting

That On The Front Porch?

I'm Not Sure

Where I Want It Yet.

Yes, Ma'am.

Can You Take

The Drum Set Upstairs?

You Know, The Bass Drum?

Mover:
Yes, Ma'am.

There It Is,

Home Sweet Home.

What Do You Think?

Oh, Wow.

That's Nice.

That's Much Better.

So, What Are

We Talking About Here?

A 6-Story Castle?

My Own Private Club

On The Roof?

Close.

Video Arcade

In The Dining Room?

Mermaids Frolicking

In The Pool?

Oh!

Karl Malone Shooting

Hoops With You.

Uh...

He's Not Here

Anymore, Dad.

Or Maybe Not.

But I Did Make Sure

They Put Your Rim Up First.

You Want To Play

Some Ball?

You're On.

Let's Go.

[Hoop Beeping]

Hey, Jace,

You All Right?

Yeah, Thanks, Dad.

I'm Fine.

Great.

[Hoop Beeping]

[Wheels Cranking]

How You Doing?

What's Up?

You Moving In?

That's The Rumor.

Name's Jace.

Vince.

What Are You Doing?

I Was Testing.

You're, Uh...

You Can Call Me Daredevil.

But How'd You Know

My Hand Was There?

Facial Vision.

It Has To Do

With Vibrations

In The Air.

I Can Tell

Where People Are

When They Move.

Like Bat Radar, Huh?

Just One Of

My Many Superpowers.

Want To Shoot Some Hoops?

No, Um--

I Was--

I'm Not That Much

Into Sports.

I'll Talk

To You Later, Ok?

Whatever.

[Bell Rings]

Are You Sure

You Don't Want Me

To Take You In

And Get You Settled?

What Am I,

In Kindergarten?

I'll Be Fine.

I Love You, Mom.

Me, Too, Sweetie.

[Engine Starts]

Here, Let Me Get

The Door For You.

Thanks.

Yeah.

[Bell Ringing]

Are You Ok?

Excuse Me?

Do You Need

Any Help?

No, I'm All Set.

So, You Gonna Go

To The Game On Friday?

What Do You Say--

Hey, Man, Are You

Blind Or Something?

[Chuckles]

Oops, My Bad.

Hey, Everybody.

Check It Out,

A Talking Side Of Beef.

What's Your Name,

Farm Boy?

Ooh, That's One For John,

One For The Blind Kid.

Yeah, Well, I'd--

I'd Punch His Lights Out,

But It Looks Like...

[Together]

Somebody Already Has.

You Know That One.

I Haven't Heard

That One Since

Like The Second Grade.

Come On, John Boy,

Park Your Cow

And Take A Shot.

Come On, Let It Go.

[Fingers Snap]

Oh!

Where You Going?

I Gotta Go

Look After The Cows.

Ah, Funny Guy.

Do You Always

Make Friends This Easily?

How Big Was

That Guy Anyway?

Well, Not Terribly Big.

He's Just Captain

Of The Football Team.

Oops.

And The Captain

Of The Wrestling Team.

Major Oops.

You Know, If You'd Agreed

To Walk With Me,

We Could Have Avoided

This Whole Thing.

Maybe I Just Like

Doing Things

The Hard Way.

Please, All Guys Do.

I Know.

I Have 3 Brothers.

So Are You

Jason Newfield?

Jace.

How'd You Guess?

I'm Mary Beth Rice.

I'm Gonna Be One

Of Your Readers.

Why, Cause

It Looks Good On Your

College Application?

No. I'm Totally Doing It

For The Cash.

[Chuckles]

Catch You Later.

[Bell Rings]

[Knocks On Door]

Hey! Is This

Mr. Kamen's Spanish 2?

Yes, Unfortunately.

Let Me Show You

To A Seat.

Thank You.

I Guess That Makes

2 Of Us Stuck Here

In Never-Never Land.

[Laughs]

So Where Are

You From, Dude?

Only The Greatest Place

In The Universe,

New York City.

Thank You Very Much.

Am I Supposed

To Be Impressed?

Obviously.

Jason:
Ok...

New Kid's Comedy

Crashes And Burns.

Howdy, Partner!

Oh, Boy.

Jace.

Farm Boy.

[All Playing Bach Slowly]

[Up-Tempo Drum Solo]

[Playing Up-Tempo]

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Hey!

Hey, Who's Playing

The Drums?

That's Me, Mr. Wyatt.

Jace Newfield.

Jace Newfield.

[Laughs]

Mr. Newfield,

My Man!

[Laughing]

Wow.

Man, That Is Interesting,

Mr. Newfield.

I Had No Idea

That Bach Had Written

A Drum Solo.

Class, Did You?

I Didn't Know That,

But Then Again,

I Don't Have

Your Vast

Musical Knowledge.

I Was Just--

It Was A Little--

No, I Know. You Weren't

Trying To Show Off.

You Were Trying To Improve

Johann Sebastian Bach.

You Know What's Amazing Is

You Are The First Person

To Be That Brilliant

In Over 300 Years.

Ladies And Gentlemen,

A Big Round Of Applause

For Mr. Jace Newfield!

Yes!

Look, Mr. Wyatt,

It's Not

That Big A Deal.

Mr. Newfield, Please,

Do Not Come Into My Class

And Assume That You Are

Better Than Anybody Else.

I'm Not Assuming

Anything.

Good.

Because If You Want

Special Treatment,

Then You Go

To A Special School.

In My Class, Everyone Is

Regarded As An Equal.

Cool?

I'm Sorry, All Right.

I J--Forget It.

You Wouldn't Understand.

My Guess Is I Understand

Better Than Anybody.

Mr. Wyatt:
Ok...

In Case Nobody

Told You,

He's Just Like You.

Whoa.

Talk About The Blind

Leading The Blind.

[All Laughing]

See What You Did There?

That's Funny.

That Was A Joke.

You're A Clown.

If You Want To Juggle

And Sword Swallow,

That's Next-Door.

If You Want To Make Music

And Be Part Of The Ensemble,

That's Right Here.

Are We Clear?

Mr. Wyatt:
Are We Clear?

Crystal.

Good.

All Right,

Bach, The Right Way.

And...

[Class Playing Slowly]

[Bell Rings]

Hey, Jace,

Awesome Playing

In There, Man.

Hey, Vince.

How's It Going?

Maybe You Are

A Superhero.

One Meeting,

And You Already

Recognize My Voice?

You Know What They Say.

Once You Lose One Sense,

The Others Kind Of Kick In

To Pick Up The Slack.

So, You're In

The Band, Too, Huh?

Who Do You Think

Backed You

On The Piano?

Hey, Wait, Wait.

Hold On.

Nice.

So, Who's That

Wyatt Guy?

Well...

He's--Hey, Good Night,

Mr. Wyatt.

Hey, Mr. Shu.

Mr. Newfield.
