Oops, is that really a 3?

Oh, I got it right

Summer Make-up Course Math 13 Students

Molten Cheese!

More like sludge

So?

Go, girl

Check this out

Disgusting

Shoot

Lucky them

Oh, I wish they'd lose the game

Why, when you're going to

play for them

My friends invited me

on a trip to Hawaii

Oh, I wish I could go

Quitting the Band

Oh, I wish I could go

Um...

Did you contact them?

We can't be late

. We've got to go

Oh, sure, you're right

I'm sure it'll be fine

Um...

Give 'em hell!

Cream Yoneyama!

Has it already left?

The brass band bus?

Huh? Yeah, it just took off...

What about the lunches?

I have a wake to cater.

What's up?

Um, teacher, the Inches

for the brass band

The guys got some other delivery

I think we should take care of them

They're really stuck

without their lunches

Ready?

Hey what's up with this?

They treat the brass players

like royalty

Gimme a bite

Hey, me, too

I'm from Class #1

How about you?

We're all from Class #3

Our teacher's "The Hag"

You've got Kubota, right?

Lucky you

I'm on a diet,

so I'll just have a little bite

Me too!

Hey! You can't do that!

They won't notice one missing lunch.

Is this where we get off?

Huh!

Sh*t! Get off! Get off!

The lunches!

Open up

Hawaii

Nakamura! You again!

Sorry.

Come see me after the game!

Oh, sure

Where are those lunches, Nakamura?

We can't keep playing,

we'll starve

Sorry, they'll be any minute now

There's a train back in an hour

What do we do?

It's so hot

Got anything to drink?

Drink from the rice field

Where's a vending machine?

My makeup's sweating off

I'm getting a sunburn

Want some sun block?

Me, too

Put some on my hand

Weren't you into tanning salons?

Shut up, I've got a new philosophy

I've had it!

Im a mud puppy

Look, it fell out

Where were you guys?

They said you left school ages ago

You've got real attitude for a loser

Gratitude's one thing,

but skip the scolding

Sorry

We brought these to you

out of pure team spirit

Oh, I get it, that's enough

Please pass them out already

Why should we pass them out?

Oh, all right,

so we'll do it ourselves

Finally, lunch

Hey, what about me?

What?

We're missing one

What? Don't look at me

Let's go Karaoke!

Yeah! Yeah!

What's wrong?

It's just...

What happened here?

Banzai! Banzai!

No real guys are this cool

Can you make a flyer for

the town meeting on your computer?

It's real easy, right?

Yeah, but not for me

Don't know how to use it

My Lovely Computer

You hounded your grandma

You hounded your grandma

'til she bought it for you

The manual's so badly written,

I can't understand it

Unbelievable

Can't you stick with anything?

I'll never buy you anything again

Now, now

Hello, this is the Suzuki's

Oh, this is Sasaki,

is Tomoko san at home?

Oh yeah, it's me

Oh, it's you

Hey, turn on the TV, the news

What? Why?

Just hurry

You can't do that!

during the Northeastern High School

Baseball Championship game,

all members of the 42 piece

Yamakawa High School brass band

and their music teacher, were

hospitalized for nausea and stomach

It seems their lunches

What happened?

Come see this!

Tomoko's school her school!

school officials are in no mood

to celebrate their victory

Our cameraman, on hand

to shoot the game,

captured images of the students

on their way to the hospital

Initially the stadium area was

mobbed with ambulances,

but the game finished

without major disruptions

Oh. Hawaii.

Did you catch that?

Ha ha ha

So I just got word

that since the whole band

is laid up and can't make

the next game

they're looking for substitutes

Powwow at the music room 9AM

But... I've got make-up math

Oh, that's right

But who'd be dumb enough

to give up 10 days of vacation

for brass band!

In light of today's severe

summer heat,

officials suspect that the lunches

were improperly stored

Inoue, Coach wants to see you

Quitting the Band

Um...

You here for the brass band?

Can you play anything?

Move

Sorry.

Um...

Our band split up

We're itching to make some noise

We only play these, but if

they work for you, we're on

Um, there are no guitars

or basses in a brass band

You say something?

No

This is hopeless

Hey!

You've got some damned nerve

laughing and chattering like that!

It's all your fault...

How come I'm the only one

stuck in this mess!

Did you get the word?

Your make-up teacher's been told

you all have to join the brass band!

Why the hell do we have to do that!

It's obvious! You're the ones

who ruined those lunches

Where's your proof!

Maybe they were already bad

That's right

They even said so on the news

I know your secret

You guys ate one on the way

Isn't that suspicious?

Your little secret will be safe

if you join the brass band

Hey, time for class

Get back into class

What's up?

Oh nothing...

Teacher!

What are you gabbing about?

It's too hot

Talk one at a time

Um, can any of you read music?

Nobody?

Anyone play an instrument?

Huh, please listen

A brass band needs at least

We're still way short

Any of your friends play instruments?

Look, look

Praying mantis kung fu!

Wonder if it's true that drumming

burns the most calories.

You here to mess us up?

You're lousy on cymbals but

a real piano whiz

Um, no, I just practiced as a kid...

Wow he's so cool

A fair showing

Who knew you had it in you

Um, but.

You know the score, right?

As seniors, this is our last chance

There's no way we'll win

without the band

I've got a shot at the starting line-up

I'm counting on you!

You know, there are two kinds

of people in the world?

No.

People who succeed and people

who are quitters - which are you?

Dunno.

Hey, what've those got

to do with a brass band?

What?

What'd you do?

What's up with this?

Um...

it's just the style I had in mind

You've heard this in school, right?

This stuff.

is called Big Band jazz

You aren't enough for a brass band,

but enough for Big Band

But jazz is for fuddy-duddies

For intellectual-types

swirling brandy snifters.

Can't we do something cooler?

Who's holding out for cool,

when our baseball team's on the line

I say you gotta do

what you gotta do

Huh?

You're completely hopeless

It takes natural talent

Ouch, my cheeks hurt

I bet something's stuck in there

Your lung capacity's pathetic

Why are you in such bad shape?

We're gonna have to practice like hell

Are you guys really up for Big Band?

Of course...

Hey, how come

they don't have to run?

You're scared of 'em

Don't be stupid! They can play,

they don't have to

I've had it

Me, too

I should've stayed put

in that make-up class

It was all your idea!

"Fake rehearsing, then out out

"Get out of make-up class, too

Kill two birds with one stone'

You're the one making eyes at

that senior baseball player!
