This whole thing has been totally blown out of proportion.
Oh, whatever.
You are not the one who was left stranded there.
You're one to talk. You didn't even consider my feelings.
You know what? I don't want to talk about this anymore.
In fact, I don't want to talk to you guys at all.
Sounds great. Count me in on the whole not-talking thing.
One little mistake,
and suddenly we're not talking.
Whatever happened to "best friends forever"?
Okay, people, settle in. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
Christopher Columbus to his crew of the Santa Maria
in Italian, in the year 1492.
You were looking for the source of the quote, right?
I wasn't exactly quoting anyone in particular
but you've come prepared. I like that in my students.
Prepared? Is there, like, a test or something?
There's no test; I would have remembered.
Funny, sounds like Gordo, but...
we're not talking.
Exactly what I was thinking.
There better not be a test today.
My tutor's out of town
and I'm already late for a mani.
I can help you study if you want.
Eww. Is he, like, looking at me?
People, people, people.
We've been learning about American history, right?
Plymouth Rock, Declaration of Independence
the Boston Tea Party, exciting stuff, am I right?
Instead of a boring, fill-in- the-blanks, plain-old test
I'm going to give you a
life-enriching interactive test extravaganza.
I like the sound of that.
Oop, said to himself.
No essay. No multiple choice. It'll be like a scavenger hunt.
The answer to one question will lead to the next question,
and so on. The team to get all the correct answers first wins.
Ooh, what's the prize?
Knowledge!
As well as an "A" grade for the rest of the semester.
Sweet.
This is History, right?
Oh, he's so cute when he's confused.
Now, I'm going to let you pick your own partner.
Now remember, this is still a test
so who you pick will turn out to be quite important.
Finally, I get to pick my partner.
Which would be a whole lot easier
if I was talking to the two people I usually partner with.
I am so glad we're partners.You are so going to get me an "A."
Kate, I'm not your partner.
I've never been your partner.
I will never be your partner.
There is nothing on this earth that could convince me
to be your partner.
All right, you talked me into it.
Talk about desperate.
At least he has a partner.
Huh. Oh, I have a partner.
My-my partner's right...right, right here.
Ha-ha-ha. Hi, partner.
Tudgeman.
Interesting, Mr. Gordon.
I thought for sure you'd team up with Sanchez and McGuire.
Well, Mr. Dig, those days are over. I've moved on.
So...have I.
You're looking quite fetching today.
Hands off, okay?
There should be at least two feet between us at all times.
Say, where is McGuire anyway?
Oh, here I am. I mean, here we are.
Me and my partner, that is.
One minute I'm showing him how to work the water fountain
and the next we're... partners?
You...? And Ethan?
Yeah. It's a good thing you ditched me at the Digital Bean
yesterday or else I wouldn't be partners with Ethan Craft.
That's right. Ethan Craft.
I did not ditch you. I didn't even get the message.
You may not have gotten the message, but me...
I didn't even get the call.
Hey, at least I don't overreact and hold grudges.
I love that about you.
Two... feet.
Interesting. Very interesting pairings.
I've got a good feeling about this.
Me, too.
Feeling strong.
Two feet!
If you believe
We've got a picture-perfect plan
We've got you fooled
'Cause we only do the best we can
And sometimes we make it
And sometimes we fake it
But we get one step closer each and every day
We'll figure it out on the way.
Lizzie McGuire S02E06 And the Winner Is
Remember, you have to have the correct answer
to one question before you can go on to the next.
We'll do the first one together. In November 1765,
this act imposed the first tax on the American colonies.
Oh, easy one. Stamp Act.
Know-it-all.
Very good. Stamp Act.
Now, where would one find a stamp?
Oh-oh. The post office.
Hee-hee. Kiss-up.
Right again.
That means the next question is at the post office
which opens tomorrow morning at 9:00.
Set your watches. Don't be late.
Okay, Gordo,
give me a call when you reach the finish line. Thanks much.
Kate, as much as I'm not looking forward
to spending the entire day with you tomorrow
you're not getting half the "A"
unless you do half the work.
"A"? Oh, what "A"?
Tudgeman kicked your butt at the Science Olympics
and at the Fact-athlon last year,
which means we will be kicking your butt. Yeah.
That's right. The only thing
you'll be seeing of us at the finish line is our dust.
Two feet.
Miranda, you may be able to talk the talk
but you can't walk the walk.
Yeah, 'cause you know what? I can walk and talk.
Clues... helpful hints... buried treasure...
Buried treasure? Go back! Go back!
"To celebrate your riches
you'll find this treasure buried at the end of the test."
Hello.
Lizzie?
Ooh, it's Miranda. I hope she's calling to make up.
Yeah?
Oops, I, um, I didn't mean to call you. Habit, I guess.
She totally called to apologize.
So, um, do you have anything to say to me like... an apology?
Hmm. Let me think a minute. Not even.
Me apologize to you?
I think that you should be the one to apologize to me.
I don't think so.
Well, then, fine.
Fine.
Ethan... your hair... is just amazing.
Yeah. It kind of... glows.
Well, thank you, Mr. and Mrs. McG.
Do you use conditioner?
No, but I'll fill you in.
You know how on the shampoo bottle has directions, right?
Lather, rinse, repeat?
Yeah.
I don't repeat.
-He doesn't repeat. -Interesting.
And yet it still gets clean.
They only put "repeat" on the bottle
so you buy more shampoo.
-Oh. -Wow. Tricky. Tricky.
Hey, Ethan. It's almost 9:00.
I've got my skates on. You ready to roll?
Go-ness.
And remember, Mr. and Mrs. McG: Don't repeat.
-Got it. -Right.
Be careful.
Okay, the coast is clear. Now's our chance to move in.
Move in? On what?
Treasure map. Arrgh.
Where'd you get that?
Lizzie's room.
You know you're not supposed
to go in there without her permission.
Punish me while I'm living on my private island.
Let me see this.
"You'll find this treasure buried at the end of the test."
Matt, it's a school project. It's not a real treasure.
So, you're out?
I thought we were supposed to take you to mini-golf today.
And a movie.
Not when there's dinero to find. Arrgh.
Who's got your treasure? Who has got your treasure?
Who's got your treasure? Yo-ho.
Who's got your treasure? Yo-ho. Yo-ho.
-Well, we don't have to take Matt to mini-golf today. -No.
-And Lizzie's out of the house till 4:00. -Yep.
We don't have to referee any fights.
Don't have to make any lunches.
We're free. What shall we do?
Well... we could clean out the rain gutters.
Yeah, or we could get a head start on our taxes.
That's always fun.
Or we could... have a pillow fight.
Jo.
What's the matter?
-What? -You afraid you might lose?
No.
-What's the problem? -I don't have a pillow.
Well, get one!
You know, you can quit doing that.
We're way ahead of everyone.
No need to be all spy-gamey.
What do you mean? I always enter a room like that.
Okay, let's, um...
keep the personal details on a need-to-know basis, okay?
Okay, but...
I really wanted to know how you got your ears so clean.
Oh, look, there's Gordo.
Put that hand down. We're in a fight, remember?
I hate fighting with my best friends.
I thought we were in the lead.
Well, we would have been
if we didn't have to stop and buy sweaters.
Two words, Gordo. Half off!
What are we doing here again?
Ethan, we're here because the answer to the last clue
was "The opposite of the Boston Tea Party"
means the opposite of "analog."
The opposite of "analog" is "digital"
and the opposite of "tea" is "coffee."
That's why we're here at the Digital Bean.
Let's just get to Noise Candy.
-Ah. CD store. Right. -Yeah.
Tell me why again.
Ethan, the clue is kind of hard to miss.
"The Pilgrims landed here and found no records
but got a sweet deal."
The Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, right?
Yeah, okay. So, rock music... candy, sweet deal?
Noise candy?
Oh, right.
Yeah, I'm just trying to connect the dots here.
No. No connecting the dots.
That's what we're doing, Blade Runner.
And we're ahead of you.
No, because we're ahead of you.
Actually, no, we're ahead of both of you. Which puts us in
the lead and we're not cheating by wearing those.
I can't believe my ex-best friend just called me a cheater...
This is not cheating. Page 11 in the test handout.
If you were my partner, you would have known that.
Why would I want my ex-best friend to be my partner?
You wouldn't. Unless, of course, she apologized
but don't bother listening to me.
Nobody ever does.
I'm sorry, Gordo, are we speaking again?
Come on, we're going.
We're already gone.
Well, so are we. Come on, Ethan.
I haven't got my food yet.
Come on!
Excuse me! Got to keep moving.
Was that Mr. Dig?
Nah.
Excuse me! Oh! Oh!
Hey, watch it.
-Ow! My elbow! -Ow! Get off my...!
Fighting really hurts.
But I'm going to win this race if it kills me.
-That was fun. -Yeah.
So... what should we do now?
Snack time.
I got dibs on the whipped cream can.
"He rode his horse to warn 'The British are coming'
then he went to town for a dog."
Paul Revere. Easy.
Revere's Hot Dogs on Maple Street.
Good. All this treasure hunting's making me kind of hungry.
Uh, thanks.
Anytime.
You know I don't know who that kid is, but I like his style.
Then I says to the guy... I says
"You call that a hypotenuse?
I'd like to see your idea of an isosceles triangle."
Okay, so not to question my good fortune
but why are you, Lizzie and Gordo fighting?
Because I'm right and they're wrong.
And I am not apologizing this time.
Well, what happened?
Do you want to know what happened?
I'll tell you what happened.
Not only did she not call Gordo
but she didn't meet me at the Digital Bean
so I wound up looking like an idiot. Why?
Because I am the dependable one.
I was there when I said I was going to be, okay?
She knew I was going to be there. So why
should I apologize for being there when I said I'd be there?!
I didn't even get the message.
Nobody even bothered to call me.
So now Lizzie's all mad at me because she thinks I ditched her
and Gordo's mad because he didn't get the invite.
I mean, do they really think that I'm that kind of person
who would ditch my friends?
It's like they don't even know me.
So why should I apologize when it's not even my fault?
I don't care who's fault it is
they should be calling me to apologize. Know why?
'Cause like always
I'm their take-it- for-granted friend.
I'm never called first. I'm always an afterthought.
And this time I am not apologizing for being mad
because they ignored me. Again.
So what are you going to do?
I don't know. But one thing's for sure...
I am not apologizing.
Look at me. I'm eating peanut butter with my fingers.
Yeah, well, look at me.
I'm drinking milk out of the carton.
Not only that, watch this.
I can make a shake... in my mouth.
No. Oh, gosh!
Oh! Sam.
Mmm, that is good. Who's the kid now?
Who's the kid now?!
I'll clean that up later.
I'm so glad I married you.
Okay, if you ever repeat this, I will D-E-N-Y deny
but you kind of actually have something I want.
What?
I may be the most popular girl in the universe--
actually I am-
but I don't have friends like Lizzie and Miranda.
Friends? Right.
Which is why neither one of them bothered to call me.
Gordo, friends like those are harder to find
than jeans that fit right.
So not talking to them about something like this-- stupid.
She's a salty, sweet kind of person like,
um... chocolate-covered pretzels.
Yeah, a missed phone call and chocolate covered pretzels.
I can see why you're not talking.
Look, I may be the tall, dark,
handsome mysterious stranger, lone wolf kind of guy
but even I wouldn't mind having friends like Lizzie and Gordo.
All right, Lizzie, let me break it for you.
I may have perfect hair and be down with the ladies
but even I don't have good friends like Gordo and Miranda.
Well, apparently, neither do I.
Which is okay with me because I'm fine on my own.
Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie... they're your peeps.
Do the right thing
Did Ethan Craft just say something smart?
Maybe he really is as perfect as I think.
So, you're going to apologize?
No!
Ah, let me commend you on getting this far.
You've covered a lot of ground.
I'll have the Ben Franklin with some relish, please.
He's got a sense of humor, too.
Or does he really not see that that's Mr. Dig?
Hey, Mr. D, when'd you get here?
Okay, people.
In June 1775, the first major fight between British
and American armies occurs here.
Replace the NK with an RG and you've found the next question.
NK?
RG...
Bunker Hill, Burger Hill.
Oh! Oh! Let's go, Ethan! Let's go!
No way! You just stole our answer.
Come on, Gordo, let's o-gay.
O-gay?
No, let's just go. Go, go, go, go! Larry!
(Keri Hilson - Know You Down)
I'm in the race, but I've already won
And getting there can be half the fun
So don't stop me till I'm good and done
Don't you try to rain on my...
Perfect day
It's the perfect day
Nothing's gonna bring me down
I could stay
Forever as I am
On this perfect day
Nothing's standing in my way
On this perfect day
Nothing can go wrong
I'm in the race but I've already won
And getting there can be half the fun
Don't you try to rain on my...
Perfect
Day.
No fair!
No fair! You cheat.
-Do not. -Do, too.
Do not
Which way's out?
Just follow me, honey.
Hey, I think I found the cheese dip.
Hey, don't I know you?
I'm not sure. I'm wondering if I know you.
You're the guy from the Digital Bean.
And the hot dog stand,
the CD store...the kite store.
Yep.
So do I get my treasure?
You won, of course you get the treasure.
So what is it?
Well, in addition to spending a beautiful day outdoors
and gaining valuable knowledge and
satisfaction for a job well done
you get an "A."
An "A"?
A bright, shiny "A."
What can I do with an "A"?
I don't even go to this school!
I want a treasure!
43 cents and a bus token.
43 cents and a bus token?
43 cents and a bus token?!
Okay. See ya.
Lizzie, what are you doing?
Sorry, Ethan, you were right.
And now is my chance to do the right thing.
You think you can move your chance across the finish line?
Come on, I never get an "A."
Come on, we're right here. We could win.
Well, they're right there, too.
And right now, my friends are the most important thing to me.
So like a lady.
I'm sorry.
What did you say?
I said I'm sorry.
Look... I hate us not talking to each other, okay?
I apologize. I'm sorry for whatever happened, you know.
And it doesn't even matter whose fault it is.
All that matters is that I hate us fighting
and I want us to be friends again.
You know what? I'm sorry.
I feel like I let this get way out of hand.
And I should've apologized a long time ago.
So... so I'm really sorry.
Well, I'm sorry, too. I really missed you guys.
And can we please just agree in advance
that if we ever get mad at each other we won't stop talking?
Deal.
Totally.
So beautiful. It's just like a movie.
This is exactly why I never do anything nice.
I talk to him, give him advice and what does he do?
Stands on the loser side of the finish line to have his
"little apology."
Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with you on that one
not that I needed an "A" but you know, I want an "A."
And you know why? 'Cause an "A" doesn't stand
on the loser side of the finish line and let you down.
Um, we can still win.
All of us?
Together?
Yeah. All of us together.
Like it should be.
So, Mr. Dig, do we get that "A"?
Well, it would seem that way.
But no.
Nina and Jeremy got here first. Better luck next time.
So, no "A."
No "A."
Well, that's okay because there's no "A" in friendship.
Ethan thought there was.
I missed Gordo's sense of humor
although that's probably not a joke.
Hey, hey, hey, get your feet off the table.
Mom, why is there peanut butter on my video game?
I have no idea.
Man, the giant pig ate me again.
Dumb pig. Oink, oink, oink, I want to eat you. Chomp!
Let me break it for you. Okay, I just...
Okay, then.
Maybe Ethan's not the brightest crayon in the box
but at least he's pretty.
-Set. -Excuse me. Sorry.
And action.
Giggles out.
-Okay. -Rolling.
Action.
"He rode his horse to warn..."
