Hey, Tia, smell me.
-Excuse me?
Go ahead, take a sniff.
What do you smell?
Uh, tamera,
this is going to sound crazy,
but you kind of smell
like a new car.
Bingo!
It's a new scent.
It's called, "carfume."
According to this ad
it's the one smell
boys can't resist.
-That's really stupid, tamera.
Quick! Put some on me!
More, more, more, more!
Yeah, yeah!
Both: Hi.
Tamera, it's working.
- Man, we got to subscribe
- to this magazine.
Tia: Go.
Hey, where are they going?
Ugh. We should
have known. Look.
Tamera: Cheerleaders.
They get all the cute guys.
Yeah, and they don't even
have to smell like a buick.
- Tia, look at those girls.
- What's the big deal?
- -So, they're popular.
- -And beautiful.
And never without a date.
- Who would want
- to be a cheerleader?
Both: Me.

- Ooh, this is going
- to look so cute
On my cart at the mall.
"Fashions by Lisa,
free snacks to please-a."
I got to work on that.
Ooh, snack time!
-I smell popcorn.
-Congratulate me, ray.
- I'm going to pop
- my way to the top.
Hey, it's about time
you got a new line of work.
- I mean, that sad
- little cart at the mall
Was belly up from day one.
- I mean, like,
- who's going to say,
- "forget about
- that fancy boutique.
- I'm going to buy my new outfit
- from the pushcart lady."
What?
I haven't given up
on the cart, ray.
- I'm going to use
- popcorn as a gimmick
To attract new customers.
- According
- to little business magazine,
- Fresh popcorn is a smell
- that turns women on.
Really?
- Boy, that Orville reddenbacher
- must have been one happy bunny.
- I'm serious, ray.
- Now, I just got to make it.
- It's now or never.
- I'm not going to be 25 forever.
Nothing. I said nothing.

Please tell me why

Dad, cheerleading tryouts

- Yeah, we're going
- to go out for the squad.
Both: You are?
Why do you want
to be cheerleaders?
Oh, I get it. Boys.
Boys? Nah, no way.
We're doing it,
because we, uh...
Because we, uh...
Uh, need to.
Hey, looks really good to those
- all-girl colleges
- we're applying to.
Girls, do me a favor.
- Forget about
- this cheerleading thing.
- But, dad,
- cheerleaders rule the school.
- Yeah. We have to work
- so hard for everything we get.
Cheerleaders have it easy.
Not as easy as you think.
- Well, what do you know
- about it?
Well, I... nothing.
Look, it's just that, you know
- I don't want them
- to get disappointed.
- The competition will
- be kind of stiff.
Ray, the only stiff
around here is you.
- This sort of thing
- is fun for girls.
- Ooh, I just loved wearing
- those tight little sweaters
-and those short little skirts.
- Mom, I never knew
- you were a cheerleader.
- I wasn't. I just loved wearing
- those tight little sweaters
-and those short little skirts.
- Okay, girls,
- show me what you got.
Okay, I'll go first.
Lisa: Stop!
Something is missing here.
Tia, stand next to your sister.
- Are you going to teach us
- some cheerleading routines?
- Yeah! Can you teach us
- how to do a split?
- If you drive me
- to the hospital afterwards.
- No, see,
- any fool can wave a pom-pom.
- What you girls need
- is a little something extra
- Like a gimmick,
- and you already got one going.
Both: Like what?
Like that. That twin thing.
Yeah, look at you!
- Everybody knows the best things
- in life come in twos:
Earrings, shoes, pizzas...
Uh, mom, pizzas
don't come in twos.
They do when I order them.
Sit down, girls, sit down.
You just work
that twin thing.
- You stay side by side,
- and you'll have those judges
- Eating out of your
- identical little hands.
- Mom, you think
- that's going to work?
Oh, sure it will!
- A gimmick
- always gives you a leg up
On the competition.
- Take me.
- I'm going to work tomorrow
- With a brand-new gimmick,
- making popcorn.
Ooh. Oh, I just know
that "fashions by Lisa"
will be hotter than ever.
Hi, Lisa. How was your day?
My business caught fire.
Oh, well, congratulations.
I, uh...
Ay-yi-yi! What's that?
All that's left
of "fashions by Lisa."
I knocked over
the hot popcorn oil.
- Did you ever see a backdraft
- in person?
- Lisa, I'm sorry. Are you ok?
- You weren't hurt, were you?
No. I'm okay.
Let me show you my fall line.
- This is a three-piece
- business suit
With matching scarf.
This is a floor-length
evening gown.
- And this...
- I don't know what this is.
I just hope it's waterproof.
Oh, Lisa, I'm sorry.
Hey, you know what I do
- when I'm feeling
- a little depressed?
- Walk around
- for three days in your bathrobe
And whine like my mother.
- No. What I do
- is I make a little list
- Of all the things
- I like about me.
- Well, that ought
- to fill up a post-it.
Honey, I'm serious.
You do a lot of things well.
Make a list. Go ahead, try it.
Well...
I am a good mama.
You sure are.
- You always come through
- for those girls.
Yeah. Yeah, I do, don't I?
-Hi. I'm Tia.
-And I'm tamera.
Both: Notice anything?
Yeah. Whoever sold you
those outfits lied twice.
Man, if I didn't
want to be her, I'd slap her.
'Kay, now. Miss Jody's
going to demonstrate
a simple little routine
- then you're all
- going to do it, okay?
Okay!
And five, six, seven, eight.
One-and-two-and-three-and-four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Okay. I can do that.
-Tia, I can't do that.
-Tamera, just don't worry.
I'm sure they'll give us
plenty of time to practice.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Girl: Hey!
Girl: Ouch!
Both: Ouch!
'Kay, here's who made
varsity cheerleader.
Our death warrant's posted.
- -You want to look?
- -Oh, no, thanks.
I'll just wait here
with my head in my locker.
Oh, my gosh, tamera,
we made it!
We actually made it!
Tia: No way!
Tia: Tamera, come here!
Look, look! Look!
It says:
"Varsity cheerleaders."
Uh, I don't think so.
See, this is the varsity list
and this is your squad.
C squad?
What's that?
Principal's idea.
- He thinks everyone
- who tries out
- Should get a sh*t,
- no matter how lame they are.
Well, who else is on our team?
Meet the c squad.
- What did the insurance
- company say?
Plenty.
Not only are they not
paying my claim,
they changed my policy
from no-fault to my-fault.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, nope. No pity, no pity.
I am moving on.
A freak fire like that happens
once in a million years.
- I'm not going to let it
- get me down.
- Uh-uh, not going
- to get in my way.
- I always say,
- if you can't stand the heat,
Get on out of the kitchen.
- Lisa, get out of the kitchen!
- Fire!
Oh!
- Smokey the bear should
- just put me on speed dial.
Lisa...
No harm done.
- Lisa: Oh, no...
- -Everything's fine.
What's the occasion?
- Well...
- I wanted to give
A little victory dinner
for the girls.
For what?
- Don't bite my head off,
- but the girls
- Went out
- for cheerleading today,
- And I know they're
- coming back winners
Because I coached them.
- What? Lisa! I don't want them
- to be cheerleaders!
- I thought I had
- talked them out of it.
Like anybody listens to you.
- Ray,
- the girls really want this.
- You'll feel good
- once they come in here
On top of the world.
Both: Our lives are over.
Oh, no. Did you make the squad?
Oh, we made it, all right.
Oh, you did!
Yeah, the c squad.
Also know as the odd squad.
We're cheerlosers.
We perform when the game's over
- and everyone's heading
- to the parking lot.
Yeah, in our gym shorts.
- They don't even
- give us uniforms.
Wait a minute.
- They put our girls
- on the c squad? Our girls?
Well, I don't understand.
What about the twin thing?
Didn't that work?
- Oh, yeah, it worked all right.
- Against us.
-Sorry, mom.
One thing was missing
from the twin gimmick.
Yeah, twin talent.
Oh, no. You have talent.
I can still help you.
- You just need the right cheer.
- Yeah.
- ♪ We're really glad
- to see ya' ♪
- ♪ if you give us
- a second chance ♪
♪ You'll have money
in your pants ♪
Just forget it, mom!
We're hopeless.
- I'm surprised we even made
- the c squad.
This is all so humiliating.
We should probably just quit.
Oh...
- Not enough that I b*rned
- my business to the ground.
- Now I got to make
- the girls dreams
Go up in smoke.
Lisa, don't feel bad.
You did your best.
Yeah...
That's what's so pitiful.
Girls, I can't let you quit.
- What would you say
- if I told you I could turn you
- Into cheerleaders
- as good as the varsity?
What are you talking about?
- Tamera, I never wanted
- to tell you this.
I had hoped to take
this secret to my grave
- but to see you
- talk about quitting
Well, it leaves me no choice.
You just wait right here.
Whoo.
Run, Tia, it's a pod person!
No, no, no. It's ray Campbell,
first and last male cheerleader
at Roosevelt high.
Also known as "rah-rah-ray."
Ray, you were a cheerleader?
Dad, you never told me that.
Although I can see
why you never mentioned
the "rah-rah-ray" part.
Well, the episode is not
one of my fond memories.
I joined the squad to get close
- to this really cute girl
- I had a crush on,
But the price I had to pay
was pretty large.
Yeah, I was teased and bullied
and humiliated.
Boy, my dad was really mean.
And the school kids,
they were even worse.
I was so upset, I just quit.
Wow. You never quit anything.
Right. Not since then.
I was so ashamed that I gave up
on something I really wanted
- that I decided
- I would never quit again.
- I know how much you want to be
- terrific cheerleaders,
So I'm not going to
let you quit either.
Thanks, ray.
When I'm through
- the c squad
- will be the squad to see.
Uh... wait till you see
the c squad.
Now, the purpose
of you being here
is to become the best c squad
- in the history
- of Roosevelt high.
Tia: All right!
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
We're the only c squad
- in the history
- of Roosevelt high.
- Well, then,
- we're already the best.
- -Mr. Campbell?
- -Yes, Jasmine.
- If it helps,
- I was on the a squad
At weight watcher's camp.
I made top of the pyramid.
Whoo.
Well, maybe you shouldn't aim
quite so high this time.
- Okay, the big game
- is this Saturday night,
- So we got to clear all this
- out and get to work.
Mom, would you mind?
We need some more room.
Oh, sure, baby.
I wouldn't want to get
in anybody's way.
We could sure use
some help in there.
Yeah, sure, ray.
The girls have rah-rah-ray.
Why do they need
loo-loser-Lisa?
Lisa,
getting knocked down
does not make you a loser.
You only lose by staying down.
All right, then.
If that's the way
you're going to be,
no skin off my nose.
No, siree.
Hello, yay team sports? Yeah.
Look, I need some outfits
for some cheerleaders.
No, they don't have to match.
- Teenage girls don't care
- what they look like.
- Naugahyde... yeah, right.
- Right on.
I'll take a half dozen...
No, no, no, you will
not ray Campbell.
- You'll not have those girls
- looking like a barcalounger.
- Come on.
- They need glitz and glamour,
- And mama here knows
- something about that.
- -But you just...
- -But nothing.
- I got some
- cheerleading outfits.
-I got to whip up, now, get!
-Okay, then.
Welcome to the team.

Announcer: And Lincoln wins
by an incredible 73 points.
And now,
the Roosevelt high c squad.
Okay! You're on!
-Oh, dad, I don't want to.
-Please don't make us.
I don't feel good.
My sugar level drops
- if I don't eat
- every ten minutes.
- Come on, girls.
- I admit the crowd turned ugly,
- Especially that guy over there
- in the third row.
-He came ugly, child...
- Come on, now!
- You can do it.
- Yeah!
- You can win this crowd over.
All you got to do is... duck!
Boy: Roosevelt stinks!
Tia, pack the pom-poms.
- I'll be out back
- with the motor running.
Losers coming through.
- Wait a minute, baby.
- Come on, you are not a loser.
Not unless you quit.
Tia, now, listen.
- I've lost my business,
- my self-respect
And part of one eyebrow.
Now, I was down.
I was so down that down
looked like up to me.
Then I remembered
these wise words,
- "you don't lose
- by getting knocked down.
You lose by staying down."
Thanks, mom.
Cover us, dad. We're going in.
Come on, guys.
Well, Lisa, I'm really touched.
You really took
to heart what I said.
You said that?
I thought I made that up.
Lights, ray.
Stop! Stop!
- All of you just get
- your little high school heinies
- Right back on that bench!
- Come on!
Go ahead! Go ahead!
- Girls: Ain't no party
- like a Roosevelt party!
Whoo, whoo!
- Ain't no party
- like a Roosevelt party!
- Ain't no party
- like a Roosevelt party!
- Tamera:
- Hey, dad, did you see us?
I'm so proud of you!
- Honey, you were so hot,
- I saw the devil
- In the stands
- drinking lemonade.
Your costumes were great.
- The devil had
- to wear sunglasses
- To keep the glare... you know.
- You looked great!
Come on, ray.
- We couldn't have done it
- without either of you.
Yeah. Come on, guys.
Well, twins,
I got to hand it to you.
You did okay.
Just okay?
'Kay, better than okay.
Tia, tamera,
you made the a squad.
Welcome to the team.
Uh...
Thanks, Wendy, but no thanks.
'Scuse me?
- Let me tell you
- something, miss thang...
A while back, we wanted
to be cheerleaders
for all the wrong reasons,
- but now we know
- what matters
- Is what you put
- into being a cheerleader,
- Not what you
- could get out of it.
Thanks for the offer,
but we're already on a team,
and we're not quitting.
Not ever.
We're the c squad, babe.
So step...
'Kay?
Tia, that was beautiful.
I am so proud
to be your sister.
- Best of luck on the c squad.
- Wendy, wait up!
Ray: No, no, no, no.
-Come on, daddy!
- Can't I be on the varsity team
- just for a month?
Okay, okay, two weeks.
- -Is a day going to k*ll you?
- Ray: Come on.
Hey, dad!
Could you please
bring me a soda?
- -Thanks.
- -No problem.
I wouldn't open that just yet.
