Here Comes The Boom Page #7

---

Look, it's a sport.

It's no more dangerous

than boxing or auto racing.

And believe me,

I wouldn't be doing it

if you'd been doing your job.

Did you really think

that you could save

the music program

by doing this?

I'm just trying to

make things better.

You know what?

You're not making

things better, Scott.

You're putting on a show.

You're getting beat up

in your bathing suit.

You are embarrassing

this school.

You know why I did this

in the first place?

Because a wise man once said,

"Without music,

life would be a mistake."

Yeah, and do you know

who that wise man is?

Marty Streb, the teacher

you're trying to get rid of.

Scott...

There's nothing here any more.

We're failing your daughter.

We need good teachers.

Yeah, well, fighting in a cage

is not going to make you

a good teacher, Scott.

You know, maybe you're right.

I'm not even that good

of a fighter.

I'm out there

getting my ass kicked.

Believe me, this wasn't Plan A,

but I don't know

what else to do.

Look, you're having a tough

time with your business.

I get it.

But you can't

take it out on Malia.

Mr. De La Cruz, I'm sorry that you

had to listen to any of this.

No, no, no.

It's all right. What do you

suggest I do, Mr. Voss?

My chef left.

That means I'm in

the back cooking.

Sol need my daughter up front.

It sucks, okay?

Nobody's saying it doesn't.

But it's not your

daughter's problem.

It's yours.

No.

You're the problem, Scott.

This is none of your business.

None of your business.

I've had it with you!

You know what?

We should be working

as hard in here as

you do out there.

And I'm sorry, but we're not.

And that is the problem.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have a class to teach.

And then I got to roll around

with a sweaty guy from Holland.

Whoa. What's going on,

Mr. Voss?

Biology, Derrick.

Fair enough.

Can someone tell me what

happens when a cell stagnates?

Okay,

no one is listening to me.

I will try again.

Anyone know what happens

to a stagnant cell?

What's he doing on the table?

I don't know,

something about cells.

Malia.

It's not good.

Did you hear that?

It ain't good.

People, a cell

that is not in motion

is not a productive member

of the system.

It ends up assuming

all the other cells

are gonna pick up

the slack somewhere.

But they don't.

In fact,

they imitate the stray cell

until basically the whole

organism begins to die.

Yeah.

But you know what?

Biology is an amazing thing.

And here's the good news,

all that decays

can be restored.

Is this hitting anybody?

Like how a cut heals.

Brian, my man.

Look, you got one!

And once that

cell's back on track,

it creates energy

amongst the other cells.

That's what happens.

It starts getting

a little movement going.

It gets a little rumble.

Can I get a little rumble

from everybody?

Everybody just rumble in

your seats right now for me.

Just rumble a little bit.

Okay, no rumble, that's fine.

I'll be the

lone rumbler up here.

That's what I am.

I'm a lone rumbler.

But then the cell starts

banging into the other cells.

And the cells push back and go,

"Hey, what are you doing to me?"

They hit into another one.

"Hey, don't do that!"

"Hey, that's my friend."

"You don't even know him!"

"You don't know me either!"

And they're

rumbling everything around.

And once that happens,

it's like a mosh pit!

They're goin' crazy...

"I know you,

we work together!"

Because then,

they hit a rhythm.

They all hit a rhythm.

And this is the beginning

of the restorative process.

So now,

even if the entire system

is close to dead, what happens?

Martinez, come on.

Give me something.

Oh, no, not today.

Oh, no, not in my house.

No, no, no, no.

Look out, here we come.

Don't look up

my pant leg, Derrick.

You're better than that.

I'm right over you.

Come on, man.

What do you say?

If all the cells work

together, what will happen?

The entire system is healed.

Exactly.

That is a sick dragon.

Yeah!

Move it! Come on,

Scott, keep working.

Hey, you know what?

You look as good going

as you do coming.

And you, my friend, sat in gum.

Please be gum.

Okay, so how many years

is a term of the president?

A president serves a term

of two years?

Ah, come on.

I can't remember this stuff.

Okay,

what's your favorite song?

My favorite song?

Mmm-hmm.

Faithfully.

The Journey song?

Yes.

Niko. I know it.

That's a great song.

They don't make them

like that any more, right?

Well, this is good.

Okay, let's try this.

Ah, that's beautiful.

Thank you.

And it goes with the lyrics.

I know.

You try it.

Yeah, right.

Okay.

Yes.

Nice!

Aha!

Oh, my friend!

She is unbelievable!

You are unbelievable.

I told you.

More later.

Now put him down,

'cause we have

a fight to go to.

Let's do this.

It wasn't a tap.

It wasn't a tap.

I was just fooling around.

I was just fooling around.

Obey my commands at all times.

The corner of the ring's

broken, so I'd avoid it.

The carbon dioxide molecules

get excited through a collision

with the nitrogen molecules,

and then there's a whole

bunch of excitement.

Derrick?

And 15, 16,

Oh, nice head movement, yeah!

Cover up, just cover up!

I think you're

wearing him down!

Watch out, watch out.

Back him up, back him up!

Do not lose that grip!

You know what to do.

Put your weight on him.

Don't lose your grip!

Don't lose your grip!

Don't lose your grip!

He lost the grip.

Thank you, Mr. Voss.

You got it, man.

Don't let him lock

your arm in place!

Scotty, pound him!

Use your elbow.

Got it!

Use your elbow!

Hey!

I'm giving

the instructions here.

No, I'm just saying

he should use his elbow.

I'm trying to help.

One voice.

No, you shush!

The other gentleman

is using his elbow

and it seems to be working.

Can we have this argument

on the car ride home?

Yeah!

Here's what happens.

Okay, you know what?

We should all...

Use your elbow!

Use your elbow!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Voss is a winner!

Wow.

All right, everybody,

let's get our story straight.

Derrick did it.

"Derrick did it"?

Hi.

Hey.

Inspiring your students, I see.

Yeah, with a touch

of vandalism, yeah.

Hey, listen,

in case you haven't noticed,

I'm standing and I just...

That offer for dinner is...

It's still out there, so...

Okay.

So if I was to let you cook for

me, and I'm not saying I am,

what would you cook?

I'll tell you what.

You name it, I'm cooking it.

Really?

Yeah.

Hey, which one of

these should I go with?

Volcano or Enigma?

Hey, what are you doing?

This is coq au vin. The sauce

is extremely delicate.

You know what, I'm just gonna go

with both, let 'em fight it out.

Fight, boys!

I haven't

seen you like this in years.

What are you talking about?

I'm jealous.

You're passionate

about something.

Someone.

What do you mean?

You got the kids,

you got Lauren,

you got your business.

Yeah, I know,

but every night I come home,

and at least one kid's

locked in a cabinet.
