One Of Emily's Pranks.

Yeah. That's It.

Why Are You Looking So Guilty,

Brad?

Me? I'm Not.

Riley:

Yeah.

Hey, Aren't You One Of The Only

Students Who Didn't Get Sick?

So? I Have A Strong Stomach

Lining.

I Get It From My Grandpa's Side

Of The Family.

Are You Trying To Pin

The Blame On Me?

For All We Know,

You Put The Note Up.

I Got Sick, Remember?

And I Helped Nurse Betty

With The Other Sick Kids,

And I Helped Her Mop Up Her

Office.

Yeah, Brad.

I Didn't Do It. Honest.

[ School Bell Rings ]

Excuse Me, Please.

I Need To See That Note.

Do You Really Think

Someone's Trying To Poison Us?

I'm Going To Call My Parents.

I Want To Go Home.

This Is Just Somebody's Idea

Of A Little Joke.

We Have A Virus Going Around,

And That's All.

Now, Off To Class,

And Get Rid Of That.

For Evidence.

This Is The Last Time

I'm Helping You With The Lab

Dishes.

It's Really Gross, I Know.

I'm Sorry.

But I Really Need The Extra

Credit.

I'm Worried About

My Last Homework Assignment,

But I'll Make It Up To You, I

Promise.

Professor Plume:

I'm Still Working On It.

Just Another Day Or So, And

My Mission Will Be Accomplished.

The Students?

Oh, No.

They Don't Suspect A Thing.

Why Would They?

About Certain Things

They Can Be A Bit Clueless.

[ Door Squeaks ]

Oh! I'll Call You Back!

Why Were You Listening

To My Conversation?

Oh. We Weren't. We Just Came In

To Clean Lab Dishes.

Professor Plume:

Oh.

Did You Hear Anything That I

Said?

Live.

Please Live.

Taylor:

He's Watching Us.

Paige:

I Know.

He Knows We Know.

I Know.

You Know, I Never Thought I'd

Say It,

But I'm Actually Getting Reallyk

Of Candy Bars.

Not Me.

I Could Eat Them Forever.

It's Professor Plume,

Just Like We Thought It Was!

Yeah! And He Knows We Know.

What?

We Heard Him Talking On His Phoe

About Some Big Plans

And How None Of The Students

Knew

And How In A Few Days

His Mission Would Be

Accomplished.

What Mission?

I Don't Know, But You Should

Have Seen The Look On His Face.

It Was Evil.

So, What Are We Going To Do?

There's Only One Thing We Can

Do.

What's That?

We'll Tell Him That The Gig Is

Up,

And We'll Call The Police

If He Doesn't Confess.

Yeah, And Then He'll Murder Us

And Turn Us Into That Green Glop

He Has In His Classroom.

What If That Green Glop

Is The Juice Of Former Students?

Oh, Gross!

All Right, We Have Two Choices:

We Tell The Principal,

Or We Confront Plume.

She'll Never Believe Us.

Okay, Then, We'll Confront

Plume.

After Chemistry, Agreed?

Agreed.

Agreed. But You Guys

Are Doing The Talking.

Okay.

Riley.

Yes, Sir.

I Am Pleased To Announce

That You Are The Only Student

Who Received An A On Last Week's

Homework Assignment.

Thank You, Professor Plume.

I Tried Really Hard

On That Homework Assignment.

Bravo.

I'm Dead Meat.

How Did You Get An A?

I Pulled A Few Strings.

What Kind Of Strings?

Ew! George?

Professor Plume:

Put Your Books Away, Please.

Please Be Ready

For An Announcement,

A Very Important Announcement.

I Had Hoped To Keep My Plans

Secret For A Little While

Longer,

But I'm Afraid

That's Now No Longer Possible.

Now, With The Permission

Of Principal Littman,

I Have Submitted A Number Of Nas

From The Students In This Class

To Compete

In The National Science Fair,

And I Am Pleased To Announce Tht

Those Students Have Been

Accepted.

Sean, Ethan, And Vanessa,

George, Riley, And Paige.

I Thought You Said

You Were Doing Bad In This

Class.

Extra Credit Never Hurts.

Nurse Betty, On Intercom:

^Ino! Not Again! Not Again!

^Isomebody!

[ Moans ]

Girl:
I Can't Drink This.

It Hurts My Stomach Too Much.

I Think I'm Going To Die.

You Think You're Going To Die?

I Know I Am.

Girl:

Nurse Betty, I Need More Pepto.

We're All Out.

But I Need It Bad.

I Sent Oscar Out To Get Some.

Like That's Going To Help.

Yeah, Last Time

You Sent Oscar Out,

He Didn't Come Back For Days.

Then When He Finally

Did Come Back,

He Had Forgotten

What You Had Sent Him Out For.

I Want My Mom.

Me Too.

Me Three.

Me. . . Four!

[ School Bell Rings ]

We've Been In This Line

For A Long Time.

Did You Hear The News

That The Cafeteria's Poisoned?

Let's Go.

We Are Leaving Right Now.

There Is No Way I'm Keeping You

In This School.

[ Students Hurling ]

Please.

Ten Students Left Danforth

This Morning.

Principal Littman Is Freaking

Out.

My Mom Wants To Pull Me Out,

Too.

She Can't Do That!

I Won't Let Her.

How Sweet!

If You Leave,

I Won't Have Anyone To Pick On!

-Take It Back!

-Okay! Okay!

I Still Think It's Sean.

Girls:

It's Not Sean.

Okay, Okay. It's Not Sean.

Who's Next?

Both:
Emily.

Wow. This Is Not What I

Expected.

You Just Never Really Know A Pen

Until You Break Into Their Room.

Well, Except For Sean.

Yeah, That Was Exactly

What We Expected.

Let's Do This.

Abby:

Can't Find Anything.

Taylor:
Me Neither.

I Wish Our Rooms Were This Nice.

What Are You Guys Doing?

This Is My Room.

And You're Looking In My Room.

No Way! You Think It's Me?

I Can't Believe It!

You Actually Think

I'd Do Something Like That?

Remember The Time

You Put Flour And Sugar In My

Shoes?

And The Ants In My Bed?

Paige:
And The Molasses

In My Conditioner Bottle?

That Was You?

Yeah. Sorry About That, But

I'm Not Trying To Make Anyone

Sick!

Raise Your Right Hand.

Do You Solemnly Promise

That You Are Totally Innocent?

Uh, Let's Rephrase That.

Okay.

Do You Solemnly Promise

That You Didn't Write That Note?

I Solemnly Promise!

I Believe Her.

You Do?

Yeah. For One Thing,

I Don't Think You're Smart Enouh

To Pull Off Something This Big.

Yes, I Am!

And Another, I Don't Think Evenu

Would Do Something This Low.

Yes, I. . .

No. I Really Wouldn't.

To Say Sorry For Suspecting You,

You Can Sit At Our Table For

One Week.

I Mean, Once We Figure Out Who's

Contaminating The Cafeteria

Food.

Two Weeks.

Don't Push It.

Deal.

''Fly Fishing,

My First Kiss, And Cabbage.

Which Is The Most Graceful?''

[ Thud ]

Paige:
Who Threw It?

Can You See Anybody?

There's Nobody Out Here.

What Does It Say?

''Stop Looking For Clues,

Or You'll Be Singing The

Blues!''

Let Me See It.

That's Freaky.

That Means Somebody

Knows About Us.

But The Only Other People Who Kw

About The Notes Besides Us Are--

Ethan, Brad, And Sean.

So, You Guys Think It's Them?

They're The Ones Putting Up Thes

And Making Everybody Sick?

Paige:

Who Else Could It Be?

Everyone Thinks

It's Salmonella Or Something.

Maybe It's A Copycat Crime.

Or It Was Them All Along.

And They're Just Trying

To Scare Us Off.

It Wasn't Ethan!

I Won't Believe It!

There's Only One Way

To Know For Sure.

How?

We Have To Watch Their Every Moe

And Never Let Them Out Of Our

Sight.

I Can Do That.

Why Do We Always Get Water Duty?

I Guess We're Not The Coach's

Pets.

That's Because Paige And Abby

Are.

Coach:
All Right. Good Job, Gir.

Come On! Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!

Kick The Ball Higher!

[ Blows Whistle ]
