Look, We Never

Should Have

Trusted Her!

You're Wrong!

Ms. Bartlett

Cares About Us--

A Lot!

Yeah, Right.

She's Staying

Here, Ok?

I'll Bet

Anything.

This Can't

Be Happening!

It's Over!

No, It Isn't!

Uh, Ladies?

Hello?

So, Have You

Come To Make

Your Farewell Address

To The Troops?

I'm Sorry?

Once A Quitter,

Always A Quitter.

We Know You Had

A Job Interview.

Marisol Heard You

Confirm It.

Is It True?

Are You Leaving?

You Can't!

What About Regionals?

So, Did They Offer

You A Lot Of Money

And Tell You That

You Were The Best?

Actually, It Was

An Extremely

Generous Offer,

And They Asked Me

To Start On Monday.

Bye. We're Really

Gonna Miss You.

How Could You

Do This To Us?

I Thought

We Mattered

To You.

Mr. Zavala Won't

Let Us Go Anywhere

Near Regionals

Without A Coach!

After All

Our Hard Work!

This Is No Fair!

Can I Get A Word In?

Why Bother?

Actually, The Truth Is,

I Turned Them Down.

You Really Did?

So, You're Staying?

Yeah.

[Laughs]

Why?

We're A Team.

Ms. Bartlett:
So...

Are You Ready?

Are We Gonna Practice?

Um, Actually?

We've Got Another

Problem To Figure Out.

Well, What If

We Considered This One,

Big Extra-Credit Project?

Yolanda Can Collect

All The Money Tomorrow

At The Car Wash,

And I'll Check

Her Calculations.

If She Gets It Right,

Then You Can Talk

To Her Math Teacher,

See If He'll Raise

Her Grade To A "D."

That Could Work.

But You Have To Get Her

To Take It Very Seriously.

If Yolanda

Doesn't Deliver

An Accurate Tabulation,

She's Off

The Dance Team.

You Got It.

Ms. Bartlett...

I Like Your Optimism.

Thanks.

[Sizzling]

Boy:
Give Me A Piece

Of That Chicken.

Enjoy.

Thank You.

Hey!

I Washed

So Many Cars,

I'm Gonna Have

Pruned Hands

For A Month.

Yolanda!

So How Are We Doing?

Collecting's Easy.

It's The Counting

And Adding That'll

Be The Tricky Part.

Let's See.

Aah!

[Laughs]

Oh, Wow!

[Laughs]

So, Are We There?

Did We Do It?

Close, But...

No Cigar.

Well, We Have

Enough For The Bus

And The Insurance,

But We Still Need

Another $100

To Get The Uniforms.

[Car Horn Honks]

Chuy...

What's

With All This?

Somebody Told Me You Were

Having A Little Trouble

Reaching Your Goal.

Yeah, Well,

Where Did You Get

All These Cars From?

Escobar's Garage.

The Old Man Has The Repairs

Washed Every Time

He Turns Them Out.

I, Uh...

Talked Him Into

Throwing The Job

Your Way.

So, What's The Damage

Gonna Be For 9 Cars

And A Van?

$85.

Well, That Still

Leaves Us Short

15 And Some Change.

You Owe Me A Wash

And Wax, Girl.

Done!

Ms. Bartlett:

Congratulations, Team.

We're All Going

To Regionals!

Whoo! We're All Gonna

Look So Fine

In Our New Uniforms!

All:
Whoo!

Here You Are,

Daisy Salinas.

I've Been

Looking Everywhere.

I Cannot Tell You

How Delighted I Was

To Receive

Your Application,

And I'm Looking

Forward To Seeing You

Dance Today.

Ah, Great.

No Pressure.

Oh, This Is My Coach

Ms. Bartlett.

This Is

Lynell Elliot.

Oh! It's Really Nice

To Meet You.

A Pleasure.

Well, I Won't

Keep You.

I Know You're

Busy Preparing.

I Just Wanted

To Say Hello,

Wish You Good Luck,

And Let You Know

I'll Be Watching.

Uhh...

[Laughs]

You Guys,

I Cannot Believe

We're Actually Here.

I'm Gonna Faint.

I'm Gonna Fall

Right Over

Into A Dead Faint.

Not Before

We Compete.

Dance First,

Faint Later.

P.A.:
Los Alamitos

Dance Team On Deck.

Marshall Middle School

Up Next.

[All Talking At Once]

[Squeals]

P.A.:
Good Afternoon,

Ladies And Gentlemen.

Welcome To

The Southern California

Regional Dance Finals!

First Up, The Los Alamitos

Red Devils!

Girls:
Whoo!

[Cheering]

Woman:
Y'all Ready?

Dance

Dance

Dance

Dance

Girls:
Yeah, Yeah!

[Music Increases Tempo]

Girls:
Dance, Dance!

Girls:
Yeah!

[Applause And Cheering]

Esmeralda:
You Guys?

You Guys, I Can't

Find Our Pompoms.

Where Are

Our Pompoms?

I'll Go Look

Over There.

Ok, You Go That Way.

I'll Go This Way.

Go. Yeah.

I Can't Do This.

Mmm, Of Course

You Can.

No.

No, I--I Can't.

Lynell Elliot

Is Out There.

Daisy...

You Know How Good

You Are,

And, Uh,

I Know You Know

What Today Could

Mean For You, But...

Let Me Tell You

Something You

May Not Know.

It Certainly

Took Me Long Enough

To Figure This Out.

There Is

A Big Difference

Between Being The Best

And Being Your Best.

Aiming To Be

The Best Is--

It's Fruitless.

It's A Matter

Of Opinion.

But To Be Your Best?

That's Where

You Find Your Spirit.

Look, The Best,

My Best--

What's

The Difference?

I Can't Do Any Of It!

Sure You Can.

You Have Done This

50 Times In Rehearsal.

Do You Know

The First Time

I Saw You Dance--

In My Classroom--

You Had Such Joy.

You Danced Straight

From Your Heart.

And Do You Know

There Is More Value

And That's

More Contagious

Than Having

A Thousand Trophies.

So, Today I Want You

To Forget About Winning

And Forget

About Lynell Elliot.

Forget Everything...

Except Why It Is

You Want To Dance.

Remember, Sweetie,

Follow Your Heart.

Si, Se Puede!

Hey, Girls!

Good Luck, Ok?

Hang In There.

Bye!

P.A.:
Please Welcome

The Marshall Middle School

Dance Team!

[Applause And Cheering]

Go, Marshall!

1, 2, 3, 4...

Girls:
5, 6, 7, 8!

[Music Starts]

[Gasps]

Come On, Daisy...

Let's Go!

Girls:
Go, Go, Go!

[Applause And Cheering]

Girls:
Come On!

Let's Go!

Step Into The Party

Look Across The Room

Baby, Take My Hand

And Make It Come True

Shake, Shake,

Move To The Rhythm

Dance To The Beat

The Feeling Is

Right Tonight

Gotta Get On Your Feet

Tonight

Shake, Shake

Move To The Rhythm

Dance To The Beat

The Feeling Is

Right Tonight

Gotta Get On Your Feet

Shake, Shake

Move To The Rhythm

Dance To The Beat

I Just Want

To Dance With You

Gotta Get On Your Feet

Whoo

[Applause And Cheering]

[Applause And Cheering]

All Right!

Marshall!

Whoo-Hoo-Hoo!

Yeah!

Whoo!

[Whistles]

[All Laughing And Talking]

Daisy, We Were

So Awesome!

Doesn't That Mean

We're Gonna Go To

State Championships?

And Then

Maybe Nationals!

And Then

Internationals!

No Matter What Happens

After Today,

You Girls Are Amazing!

Well, Maybe

'Cause We've Got

An Amazing Coach.

Hey!

To Ms. Bartlett.

No. To Us.

All:
To Us!

[All Laughing And Talking]

Can't Believe You Drove

All The Way Down Here.

Oh, You Thought

I'd Miss This?

I Thought

You Hated Everything

About My Dancing.

No, Chica.

You Know What I Hated?

Feelin' Like I Was

Gettin' Left Behind.

Feelin' Like You Were

Gonna Get Out

And Go For The Gold,

And I Was Gonna Be

Toolin' Cars

Till I'm Toothless.

But Guess What?

This Dropout's

Droppin' Back In.

Chuy, Are You Serious?

Well, I At Least

Gotta See If I Can Do It.

I Am So Proud Of You!

Eh...

Right Back At Ya.

I'll See You Up Front,

All Right?

Ok.

You Were Great.

Yeah!

Shake, Shake

Move To The Rhythm,

Dance To The Beat

Shake It!

The Feeling

Is Right Tonight

Gotta Get On Your Feet

All:
Whoo!
