01x11 - Incomplete Pass

[bunniefuu]

♪♪

Okay,
great job today.

Remember, tomorrow is
your oral exam

so everybody study.

Estudian mucho.

And anyone who
doesn't understand

what estudian mucho means,

you have
muchas problemas.

Uh, hasta mañana.

Señorita Dawson?

May I have
a word?

Sure.

Bella, your written
and comprehension skills

are excellent,
but I hardly ever

hear you speak
in class.

There's a perfectly good
explanation for that.

Okay, what is it?

I am not good at it.

Bella...

in all seriousness.

If you fail
this exam tomorrow,

your grade will
fall below a C,

and you won't be able
to play football.

It's school policy.

Señora, I can't
not play football.

It's más importante.

Or is it
mejor importante?

No, it's más importante.

Or is it...

Do you perhaps have
a pen and a ream of paper?

Bella, you don't need
to write everything down,

just say it.

You'd be a lot better
at speaking if you weren't

so worried about being
perfect all the time.

Si, Señora.

Hey, getting
better already.

I'll go study.

¿Dónde está
la biblioteca?

The library?
It's right there.

I would say duh,
but I don't wanna be rude.

¿Dónde está
la biblioteca?

Duh!

Sorry, I'm listening
to this Spanish language app.

I have a huge
oral exam tomorrow.

And there's one small part
I have to brush up on.

Which part?
The speaking part.

You got your work
cut out for you.

Pobrecita.

Hey...

What?
You speak Spanish.

Maybe you could tutor me
for the oral exam tomorrow?

That's a great idea,
totally.

¿Cuando
deberíamos empezar?

Who, slow down,
sister.

You asked,
"When should we start?"

Si.
Oh, okay, let's see.

Nosotros empezar...

Nosotros empezeh?

Nosotros--
Let's start now.

Hey, Pepper, I'm gonna
help Bella study for Spanish.

So we can't hit the Starcade
after school today.

That's perfect
because I can't go either.

I'm working on
a new project.

I would tell you guys,
but it's kind of

on the hush-hush
at the moment.

On the quiet tip.

The QT.
Supes confidential.

Pepper, we get it.

So I guess
we'll see you later?

Hasta mañana,
amigas.

Oh, showoff.

Oh, Pepper,
you dropped your--

What the heck?

Pink paper,
glitter pen,

and a bunch of guys'
names in numbered order.

My sister makes these
all the time.

Gentlemen,
what we have here

is Pepper's crush list.

Pepper has
a crush list?

I mean, that's--
whatever.

Check it,
my name is at the top

with a star
next to it.

Oh, and a little
red heart.

I think that's
a piece of old tomato.

In the shape of
a heart!

Anybody else
we know on the list?

Well, let's see, Newt,

you come in at
a solid number seven.

Congratulations.

Ricky you're nine,
and Luis, you're ten.

I could never compete with
that adorable face.

I mean, look at him.

It's a blessing
and a curse.

What number am I?

You're... not.

What?

Oh, that's impossible.

Huh, guess
I didn't have

as much in common with her
as I thought.

What?
Oh, nothing.

I mean,
I'm relieved.

Who wants to be on some
dumb girlie list anyways?

What are you doing?

Sophie cannot see my name on
her best friend's crush list.

Maybe I should buy her
some apology chocolates.

My stepmom, Brenda,
loves chocolates.

She locks herself in
the pantry and eats them

while crying what I can only
assume are tears of joy.

We have a very
happy family.

Don't make
a big deal out of it.

Yeah, just 'cause
someone's not

on some stupid list doesn't
mean they're not awesome.

You are so right,
Sawyer!

Come on.

Okay, let's
try this again.

I'm going to ask you
a simple question in Spanish.

And you're going
to answer in Spanish.

And try not to
write it down this time.

No problema,
let's do it.

Okay.

¿Qué comiste
en el desayuno?

What do I eat
for breakfast?

That is a great
question.

Yo, comi....

Wait, that's not
exactly right.

Yes, it was, Bella.

No, no, comer
means to eat.

Oh, so I guess
that part was right.

Yo comi...

Don't overthink it,
just say it.

Maybe I just

need to write
some of it down.

No, you don't have
a conversation

by writing
things down.

Yes, you do,
it's called texting.

Let's just
try it again.

¿Qué comiste
en el desayuno?

Is that your phone
buzzing?

No writing.

I can still write
with half a pencil.

I've got small hands anyway,
so I don't really care.

Bella, just answer
the question!

Even if it's not perfect.

¿Qué comiste
en el desayuno?

Yo comi...

Yo comi...

Go with
your instincts.

Oh, I don't
wanna say it

unless I know
it's right!

You're stressing me out!

I'm sorry,
who's the one yelling,

and who's the one
that's a tutor

and is not
getting paid?

Oh, yeah?
Well, tutors are

supposed to help you,
not make things worse.

And you owe me
a new pencil.

And you owe me the last
three hours of my life back.

Oh, yeah, well...

No, tu eres...

Tu eres...

Just hurry up
and insult me already.

Say whatever you want,
just finish your sentence.

You know what,
maybe it's best

I study on my own.
Maybe you should.

Maybe I will.
Fine.

Fine!
No, finito!

That's not even
Spanish.

I can't hear you!

Oh.

¿Dónde está
la biblioteca?

Yes, nailed it.

Guys, don't look now,

but this is
the second time today

I've seen Pepper trying
to sneak a picture of me.

Yeah, tell me
about it.

She sat next to me
in math class,

and she was
totally checking me out.

I mean, not that
I blame her,

but, still.

I know, she asked me
to move earlier

so she could
get to her locker.

I mean, give me
my space, woman.

What should we do?

You know, I think we need
to be mature

and talk to her,
let her down easy.

Explain that I am
a ladies' man

who can't be tied down,
and you've got that whole

unrequited thing
for Sophie.

It's not exactly
unrequited

when she asked to borrow
my pen in English class

and keeps it
for the whole day.

Just saying.

The point is,
we're not available.

And we need
to let her know.

Come on, Sawyer,
you can listen.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Hey, Pepper!

Hey, guys.
So... look.

We just wanted
to talk to you about,

um... feelings.

For example,
I have many feelings

for many different
ladies.

A gaggle, if you will.

You know what I'm saying?

No.

Newt, you're up.

I like Sophie.

Sophie!

Okay, what's wrong
with them?

They got problems.

Hey, can I ask you
something?

Uh, yeah,
of course.

Do you like
my new boots?

Yeah, they're
actually really cool.

Thank you.

When I first
saw them,

I didn't think
they were my type.

But then I realized
the boots and I had

a lot more in common
than I thought.

You know what
I didn't do?

I didn't look at all
the other available boots

and put 'em
on a boot list.

Sawyer, what are you
talking about?

Here's a hint,

I'm not talking
about footwear.

Nice boots, "Huggins."

Those are going
on my boot list.

Oh, sugar beets!

Boot list?
What a great idea.

Bella?
You're next.

Okay, what's
my favorite sport?

Um, mi deporte
favorito es...

Fútbol is soccer,

but that's not
exactly right.

Fútbol Americano.

Oh, wait, sorry,
I'll start again.

Mi deporte...

Mi deporte...

Mi deporte...

¿Dónde está
la biblioteca?

Nailed it?

Okay.

Bella, I'm sorry
to tell you.

You didn't
pass your test.

And it's school policy
that any student with

a failing grade
can't participate

in after-school sports.

Coach, please...
Trust me, Dawson.

This is the last thing
I wanna say.

But...

you're benched.

I can't play
on Saturday?

No, and until you get
your grade up,

you can't play
football at all.

Ay, no me diga.

Hey, that was
pretty good.

Does that count?
No.

Which is
Spanish for...

No.
No.

Señora, there has to be
something you can do.

I can't be benched.

Bella, it's not like
I like doing this.

Look, Dawson, you're--
you're a good student.

The best quarterback
that we've ever had.

Someone we definitely
can't win without.

Señora,
you said it yourself.

My written skills
are great.

I just have
a hard time speaking.

If you give me
one more chance,

I'll study harder than
I've ever studied before.

I'll memorize the Spanish
dictionary.

I'll join
Spanish Club,

I'll move to Spain.

Please,
I'll do anything.

¿Por favor?

Okay, you can take
a make-up test tomorrow.

If you pass,

you can play
Saturday.

But...

it's going
to be much harder

than your last
oral exam.

Instead of one question,
it's going to be a real

conversation
between you and me.

I promise
I'll be ready.

I'll see you
tomorrow morning
before school.

Gracias, Señora,
you won't regret this.

Look at
the poor thing.

Putting on a brave face
while she is dying inside.

It must feel horrible
to have such a crush on someone

and have them completely
reject you.

Oh, Sophie,
I got you these--

Whatever,
munchkin.

She gave me
a pet name.

Oh, hey,
here comes Pepper.

Let's just say hi
to her.

Make sure she's holding up okay.

But be cool.
Hey, girl.

Look, I know it hasn't
been easy,

but you'll forget
all about us in no time.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Great first step!

Okay, bye!

Oh, Sawyer, I've been
meaning to tell you.

I've started
a boot list.

Total game changer.

Poor Pepper.

Breaking hearts is
never easy.

You know,
you are so lucky you don't

have to deal with girls going
crazy over you, Sawyer.

I can't
take it anymore!

What is wrong with me?

How come I'm not on
Pepper's crush list?

Why do you care?
You said it was dumb.

It is, but--
but still,

it's like... ugh!

Sawyer, if it really
means that much to you,

there might be a way to get
Pepper to notice you.

Really?

Yeah, we just
have to make you

a little bit more
like us.

Two guys who are
already on the list.

Hey, Sophie.

I know we're in a fight,
but the thing is...

I failed my Spanish test,
now I can't play football.

No, really?
Yeah.

Listen, I know
I flew off the handle.

And I know I said you
were a bad tutor,

but it was
only because...

I didn't want to admit
that you were right.

I do sometimes
try to be perfect

and overthink stuff.

Anyway,
I'm really sorry.

Do you forgive me?

Aw, come here, Mama.

Listen, I have
a make-up test tomorrow,

so if I promise
not to overthink stuff,

will you help me?

Of course.

I actually
have an idea.

Come to my house
after school today.

Thank you so much,
I will be there.

Oh, I almost forgot.

In anticipation
of our make-up,

I got you some
apology chocolates.

Oh, thanks,
you're the best.

"Pepper means
nothing to me,

love, Newt."

I thought
these were from you--

Chocolate
coconut!

Your favorite.

See you
at my house!

They are
my favorite.

Okay.
She's here.

Let's do this.

All right,
remember what I taught you.

Now you go get on
that list.

Wait,
one last thing.

You're supposed
to waft it towards you

for the faintest
aroma.

It's called Manther,
for when love is the prey,

and you're the predator.

Oh, hey, girl.

I didn't
see you there.

Sawyer,
what are you doing?

Oh, just chillin'.
Maxin', relaxin'.

You know,
this is how we do.

Ugh, you smell
like Newt.

And what's with
the clothes?

You don't like it?

No.
Ugh, I give up.

Here's your
crush list back.

Crush list?
Oh, this isn't a crush list.

It's not?
Then what is it?

It's a makeover list.
I'm doing a calendar

as a fundraiser
for the Bulldogs,

and I'm using the football
players as models.

The guys on the list
are the ones that are

most fashionably
challenged.

Oh!

Whoa. Fashionably
challenged?

M-- me?

Why do you think
you're number one?

'Cause I'm the most
desired?

No. 'Cause you need
the most work.

I mean,
for my calendar,

we're gonna have
to step it way up.

Then why wasn't
I on the list?

Aren't I gonna be
in the calendar?

Of course. But you don't
need help with your style.

You have your own
cowboy thing going on,

and it works.

Or at least
it did before...

this happened.

Wow, I feel silly.

And suddenly
self-conscious.

Come on, Troy, I'll buy us
some comfort smoothies.

The most help?

You--

I guess
I should go change.

Sawyer?

If... I did have

one of those
crush list thingies...

Are you saying you'd
wanna be on it?

Well, I'd...

You see,
for--

Well, um...

Yes, yes, I would.

Well, good to know.

Hey, Pepper,

what if I'd one of those
crush list thingies?

Would you
wanna be on it?

Yes, yes,
I would.

That's good to know.

The most help?

What, she-- oh!

Ahh!

Well, this place is
extra crazy today.

Where are
your parents?

Date night,
third time this week.

I'm pretty sure
we annoy them.

Are you sure you're gonna
be able to tutor me here?

I am not going
to tutor you.

You are going
to learn Spanish

the way I learned
Spanish.

By living it.

Wait, I, I thought
you were going to--

Oh, right, sorry,
my, my shoes.

Uh-uh-uh...
en Español.

Lo siento.

Bien.
Here, take this.

I usually talk
to my abuela about my day

while she makes dinner.
Today, that's your job.

By the way, don't say
anything about her mustache,

or she'll hit you with
that wooden spoon.

Uh, esta mañana...

That means
this morning?

Si, esta mañana.

Um... en biología,

uh, "I learned"
is aprender.

So that past tense is aprendí.

Although,
I could use...

You realize abuela's
not going to flip

that tortilla until you
finish your sentence?

And those are
the tortillas

you're going to eat.

I can see why you are
the way you are.

I mean... Yeah,
that's right,

un techo...

Ugh!

I'm never gonna
get this.

I appreciate
the encouragement, abuela,

but I'm never--

I overslept!
My test!

Huh, what, what?
My make-up test!

I'm supposed to be there
before school, I'm late!

Oh!

Oh, wait, don't
forget your shoes!

Señora Garcia,
I am so sorry.

Bella, what happened?

You were supposed
to be here half an hour ago.

I know,
but I fell asleep.

See, I was studying
at Sophie's house,

which is crazy,
by the way.

And abuela
was all...

So I ate the burned
tortillas.

Oh, really?

I am so sorry.

Can I take
the test again?

Well...

I could let you
take the test again,

but...

I don't know
why you'd want to.

You just passed
this one.

¿Que?

You just had a conversation
with me in Spanish.

Finally,
you were thinking less

and speaking more.

Congratulations.

Really?

Oh, my gosh,
I can't believe it!

Why don't you
go tell coach

you're good to play.

Vamos, Bulldogs!

I will, he's going
to be so excited.

Oh, before you go,
quick question.

Is that abuela,

or do I need
to call security?

Tu zapatos!

Okay, Sawyer,
you're done.

Let's go, Troy,
we're waiting on you!

My baby's
all grown up.

Wow, Pepper sure knows
what she's doing.

Please, you think
anybody's gonna see

a picture of me in this
getup and say,

"Dang, what
a good-looking guy."

Ooh, 'cause I would.

Told ya.

Well, don't just
stand there, girl,

capture my essence.
