01x30 - I Wanna Dance with My Buddy

[bunniefuu]

Dude, hover much?

Feds.

Welp, just got a little itch
on my neck here, and... Psyche!

It's ball bearings!
[laughs cunningly]

[barks]

Whoa!

Huh?

[grunts]

- [growls]
- [dog barking]

[yelps]

[grunts]

[helicopter hovering]

You coppers got nothing on me!

That scorpion farm
was in my locker when I found it.

And I'm not saying nothing.

Unless you've got
someone specific

you want me to snitch on,
in which case, let's talk.

I'll take it from here, boys.

[gasping] Kennedy?

You're working with the Feds?
How could you?

I've only got one question
for you, Becker Denoga.

Will you go to the Totally '80s
to the Max Dance with me?

Huh?

- Oh, heck yeah!
- [cheers and applause]

- [barks]
- [cheering continues]

Dance proposals.
They get crazier every year, am I right?

How should I know? This is the first year
I've witnessed any of this nonsense.

What are you going to do
for Scott?

Asking Scott to the dance
is the easiest part of my plan

because I don't have to.

We go every year as friends.

The hard part is going to be...

Finally telling Scott
you like him,

which you vowed to do
on this notarized document?

Yes, that part!

You just carry
that thing around?

Sheesh. Who are you?
The narrator?

[Scott] Hey, Hails.

We going to the dance
this weekend?

Was the lighter invented
before the match?

I got to stop doing that
with obscure facts.

The answer is "yes"!
Let's go to the dance.

Sweet! And speaking
of the dance,

I've got something special in mind
for when we get on the dance floor.

I'm gonna do a sick backflip,
and you can watch!

I found a guy on MeTube
who practiced every day for a year.

And in the end,
he kind of did it.

- "Kind of"? So, he didn't actually...
- [shouting] Backflip!

[grunts]

So close!

- Not really.
- Still sharp as a marble.

[Kristine over megaphone]
Attention, everyone!

Voting is now open
for this year's dance Royal Couple!

And I have a megaphone!

- [squeals]
- [glass cracks]

[car windows shattering]

[car alarm honking distantly]

And as Associate Chairman
of the Dance Committee...

A made-up title I gave you
because you wouldn't stop crying

after your dance theme
wasn't chosen.

For the record,
"None Like it Hot,

colon, A Salute
to Ceiling Fans,"

is a way better theme
than "The '80s."

Yawn and gag. [clears throat]

In any case,
at this year's dance,

I have assigned myself
the vital role

of Merriment Mitigation.

So, the Fun Police?

[A.C.] Wrong again,
Hailey Banks.

I will be monitoring
the premises

to ensure couples stay
at least a foot apart during slow dances,

and inspecting the punch, to make sure
the sugar level does not exceed 15%.

A general policing
of the fun level, if you will.

So, the Fun Police.

Yes, exactly. At the dance,

everyone should be having
no more fun than this guy.

Well, I'm not even gonna
get to go to the dance.

All 30 girls I asked
weren't lucky enough to say "yes."

My proposal's
even starting to wear off.

[Genesis scoffs]

Dance proposals are so 2000
and late.

Genesis, isn't saying
"2000 and late" a little "2000 and late"?

No. Look, guys,
my older sister,

you know, the one in college
studying... Communications?

[all gasp and murmur]

She told me
about the hottest new compatibility app,

called "SnackMatch."

- "SnackMatch"?
- Exactly.

You just answer a series
of random questions,

and it gives you
your "Food Personality,"

which you can match
with others on a crazy, deep level.

Try it.

Hissing possum? Yep, keep.

Homework? Ugh! Toss.

Possum eating homework?
Now that is a keep.

The algorithm is,
like, never wrong.

[phone voice] Your Food Personality is...
[pings] peanut butter.

- [phone chiming]
- I don't get it.

Does this mean I'm supposed to bring
peanut butter to the dance?

Duh, no.
You are peanut butter,

and you can match with anyone
whose food pairs with yours.

[phone voice]
SnackMatch found.

[gasps]

[phone voice] You are jelly.

- [chimes]
- [crunch]

Third Becky?

[in a voice similar to Chainsaw's] Sure,
I'll go to the dance with you, Chainsaw.

Sweet! By the way, you have
the most lovely voice.

[in a voice similar to Chainsaw's]
You, too!

[both laughing whimsically]

[laughter continues]

Aw!

That is so... weird.

See? Never wrong.

- [phone pings]
- We'll see about that.

- [phone chimes]
- I'm... spaghetti.

- And I'm...
- [phone chimes]

meatballs.

Wait, yum!

[phone voice]
Mega SnackMatch detected.

This takes so much pressure
off the dance proposal.

Guys, you're off the hook!

[all groaning] Aw.

[phones pinging]

Don't tell me you're getting caught up
in this SnackTrash, too.

Of course not, Beta.

It's made by the Dingles
Worldwide Snacks and Tires Corp.

Only an idiot
would be into this.

Guys, I am super
into this new app!

Do you know it's made
by the parent company of Dingles?

Hailey, have you taken
the quiz yet?

- I was just saying I'm about to!
- [school bell rings]

[high-pitched
and low-pitched pings]

What? If anything,

the quiz will prove
that I'm super compatible with Scott,

and it'll make it easier
for me to tell him how I feel.

It's technology doing
the work for me.

Technology has been doing
the work for you for a long time now!

- [phone pings]
- [Beta] Oh, real mature.

- [phones pinging]
- Yes, I like buffets!

Easiest quiz ever!

Hello, students.

It's time to once again study the history
of the prestigious Crab Queen crown,

which I won
only 25 short years ago.

- [phones pinging]
- Okay, what's going on?

This is when one of you
usually makes a piercing comment,

like, "I didn't know
we were studying Ancient History,"

which I would then spend
the weekend analyzing with Dr. Fisher.

I'm sorry, Miss Jackson.

- [phone chimes]
- Ooh! I am oatmeal!

- "SnackMatch"?
- [phone pings]

It's a compatibility quiz
for young people

who still have a chance
to find their true soulmate.

You wouldn't get it.

Well, Veronica, you can really dig into
that one with Dr. Fisher.

Anyway, I doubt a silly quiz

could really help someone find
their soulmate.

Also, is "SnackMatch"
one word or two?

- Last question.
- Me, too!

- [pings and music plays]
- Looks like my Food Personality is...

- [chiming]
- Lobster!

- [phone chimes]
- And I'm cookies!

Sweet! I love cookies!

- [♪ app music playing]
- [crunches and retches]

[Genesis] Lobster and cookies?

[retches] Gag.
Good thing you guys aren't a thing,

'cause those are, like,
the least compatible food personalities.

Honestly, I'm surprised
you two are even friends.

Huh?

[multiple high-pitched
and low-pitched pings]

- [phone chimes]
- Um, are we going to learn today?

[Scott grunting]

[whooping loudly]

SnackMatch says Scott and I
are completely incompatible.

Can this be right?

I wouldn't worry about it.

Take it from a computer, Hailey.

Humans are way more complex
than a simple algorithm.

[continuous thudding]

I'm going for the high score!

Maybe not all humans.

[Destiny]
I cannot believe you, Tommy D!

You're willing to throw away

a three-and-a-half week relationship
over an app?

Are you serious right now?

Serious as a split end!

Look, babe, I'm tortilla chips
and you're milk,

which are both legit,
just not exactly sick and tight.

Who knows if a side of guac
is out there somewhere?

[scoffs] Then go find
somewhere else to dip your chip!

- [thudding]
- [phone voice] Mega SnackMatch detected!

[yelps, thuds and grunts]

- Cookies?
- Milk?

[crunch]

We're, like, mega compatible.

[phone voice]
That's what I just said!

Is this app listening in on us?

- [phone voice] Nope!
- Oh, okay.

Hey, you're Destiny, from the League
of Extraordinary Hair, right?

And you're Scott!

[giggling] Yeah, I remember you!

You know, I always thought
your hair had the best bounce.

That is a low blow, lady bro!

- [burger splatters]
- You're a big, bouncy boy, Tommy D.

OMG, did we hear that you two
are "cookies and milk"?

You're the only other
Mega SnackMatch we've met!

- Do you want to share a limo to the dance?
- Yeah. Actually,

he is going to dance with me.

Lobster.

We go to every dance together.

As friends.

Lobster and cookies?

Ew!

Okay, well... Bye.

We didn't want to share
your limo anyway!

And SnackMatch
is just a silly app.

Nobody really cares
what it says!

[Kristine] The votes are in!
And since everyone really cares

what SnackMatch says,

the Royal Couple is...

Destiny and... my ex-BF who I amicably
un-coupled with... Scott!

[students cheering
and applauding]

I swear, this is only
my second breakfast cone.

Scott and Destiny!

Cookies and milk.

So compatible that the whole school
has been shipping you.

- [cheering]
- Ugh.

Since yesterday?

They might be totally
shipping us,

- but I'm totally "dipping" Scott.
- [cheering continues]

[giggles] Get it?

Because he's my cookie.

Be sure to tag Tommy D
in that, mkay?

- [shutter clicks]
- You guys are gonna be so cute

at the dance together.

We're going
to the dance together?

The Royal Couple always goes
to the dance together.

It's tradition. Like licking the flagpole
before football games.

Now say, "I've got a date
with Destiny!"

- [shutter clicks]
- I've got... to talk with someone first.

[whistle blowing]

Dodgeball gods, be kind.
[whispering] I am invisible.

- Argh!
- Hey, Hailey.

Do you have a minute to talk?

- [grunts] Does it look like it?
- Okay, cool. Here's the thing,

me and Destiny, you know the girl
who I'm super compatible with?

Well, she and I
just got voted Royal Couple.

Since you and I were only gonna go
to the dance as friends,

would it be all right
if I went with her instead?

I mean, you and I have already gone
to a bunch of dances together.

But according to
a trendy new app

and a bunch of teenagers,

Destiny might be my...

you know, destiny.

[growls loudly]

[grunting angrily]

- [grunts]
- [yelping] Ah!

Sure! I mean,
why would I mind?

- I've got plenty of other options!
- You do?

Because pretty much everyone in school
is paired up because of SnackMatch.

Don't worry about old Hailey,
this lobster is gonna find its...

[objects clattering]

m... match.

I've got so many options,
I can't even think of one right now.

Too bad you can't ask
that guy Sanjay.

- Who?
- You know,

the really cool kid from Botany Camp

you said was super hunky
and super into you,

but travels all over the world,

so you never know where he's gonna be,
and can't introduce me...

Oh... That Sanjay.

[chuckling nervously]
Yeah, great idea. I... I mean,

he's been all up
in my DMs lately, begging to meet up.

I thought you said
he wasn't on social media.

Wow, good memory.
[chuckles nervously]

He's not. He sends me DMs
via... carrier... pigeon.

Man, he sounds
like a cool guy! You got a picture of him?

[grumbles] Boy, you sure
are Mr. Questions today.

Okay, let me see. I'm sure
I have one here somewhere.

Here! Here he is!

Whoa, what a hunk!

Makes me want
to buy that cologne he's standing next to.

- AirSync that to me.
- [phone chimes]

- [male screams distantly]
- Wha... Anyway.

The point is, I've got options
that aren't you, Scott!

Okay. Cool. I thought
you might be mad or something.

Anyway. Thanks, Hails.
I'll see you at the dance!

[yelping] Ah! Spleen shot!

So, then dodge!

It's called dodgeball!

Loving the '80s looks, everyone!

The high hair,

Jonathan,
what's with the get-up?

Don't ask.

He thought
"'80s To The Max" meant the 1880s.

The flyer didn't specify
a century.

Anyone could have made
that mistake.

No, only you.

And him.

A.C., why are you dressed
like that?

This was the apparel of choice
for the British Redcoats, circa 1780.

You know, there wouldn't be
all this confusion

if we would have gone
with my theme.

[growls]

So, we must have
a lot in common.

Being cookies and milk
and all...

Shut up a sec.
Here comes Tommy D.

[fake laughter]

Scott, that is
such a funny story!

And also sweet,
because you saved that chinchilla!

Sorry, what were you saying?

Nothing, just talking
about all the chemistry we probably have.

Did Tommy look back here?

No, wait.
That was a hair toss.

Sorry, [sighs]
you said you were failing Chemistry?

I am, but that's
a whole different problem.

Hey, Destiny, check this out.

I'm gonna parkour
off that weird car.

[shouting in a lower tone]
Parkour!

[Kristine] Rough night?

Yeah, me and Destiny
just don't seem to be hitting it off.

This is way less fun than when
I used to go to dances with Hailey.

Where is Hailey, anyway?

She's usually so punctual for social
events, that she always remembers

to bring that medicine
that stops me from burping

after I have too much juice.
[burps]

Scott, I never thought
I'd speak ill of a phone app,

but I think you're putting
too much stock into SnackMatch.

But it was super accurate
for everyone else.

I mean, look at Chainsaw
and Third Becky.

[whistle blows] Okay!
Let's have some daylight between you two.

And, hey, DJ.

Let's keep that music
at an easy 60 beats per minute, mkay?

[record scratches]

Maybe the right person for me
just isn't out there.

I mean, look at you and me.

- We didn't last.
- [♪ Slow dance song playing]

Scott, you are one
of the nicest, most genuine people I know.

The only reason
we didn't work out

is that I wanted to put
my #HatJourney first.

Which is why I came
to this dance #ConfidentlySolo

even though
my Food Personality is cheese,

which obvi goes with everything.

Trust me, the right girl
for you is out there,

no matter what SnackMatch says.

Thanks, Kristine.

I'd sure like to "toss"
this little pep talk.

Um... Okay? Rude.

No, I mean like how you do
on SnackMatch.

You know, "toss" it
into your cart because you like it.

Wait. What?

You don't toss
the things you like. You "keep" them.

No, if you don't like something,

you keep it on the shelf.

I think I know how
a grocery store works.

But that's exactly
the opposite of how SnackMatch works!

It is? Why do they make it
so confusing?

They didn't!

You somehow managed to get every answer
wrong on an opinion quiz.

That's why you
and Destiny don't have any chemistry.

She's the last person
you should end up with.

Take the quiz again,
except like a normal person would.

[gasps] OMG!
I totally support all of this.

You should go tell Hailey
how you feel right now!

Yeah? Yeah!

Oh, no.

I just remembered Hailey seemed
really into her super cool fling

from Botany Camp, Sanjay.

And I don't blame her.

Look at this guy!

Scott! Hailey obviously made
this guy up to save face.

That picture
is from a cologne ad!

You're right!

I'm gonna do it!

I'm gonna tell Hailey Banks
I like her.

Then I'm gonna come back here,

Hi, I'm Sanjay.

You must be Scott. Hailey said
so many nice things about you.

I almost didn't think
you were real.

But... I saw you
in a cologne ad.

Oh, yeah, I get asked
to do those sometimes.

Kinda embarrassing
to be recognized for modeling,

but each one of those gigs

can pay to plant a 1,000 trees
in the Ecuadorian rainforest.

After you decided to go
to the dance with Destiny,

I sent Sanjay a DM.

It turns out his dad

just got stationed
at Camp Pendleton as an engineer.

It was fate! So,
I pigeoned her back and said,

- "I'd love to go to the dance."
- [coos]

Oh, hey there, Mordecai. Can you tell Dad
I won't be home until 10:00?

- [pigeon coos]
- [grunts]

So... What did you want
to tell me?

Oh. Just that...

So, don't forget your umbrella.

could have been a text, but thanks.

are loving this, though.

Oh. Scott,
