Geek Charming

Woman: It's an honor to announce

this year's Blossom Queen winner,

the most important crown that any girl can ever wear:

Dylan Schoenfield!

Principal Guthrie: Dylan.

Dylan?

Dylan!

Yes, principal Guthrie?

The Blossom Queen campaign application.

I need your signature.

Oh. Thanks.

Next?

This year's going to be 'Très Fantastique'. Know Why?

Girls: Why?

Because once I'm crowned Blossom Queen,

I will be the most popular girl at Woodlands academy ever.

Drama club.

Easy vote. They like my dramatic flair.

Ooh! The very shirt i introduced last semester.

Followers. Easy votes.

Film club nerds.

You're like a movie star to them.

Totally.

Indie rock wannabes.

What's with the guitars, people?

This isn't a campfire!

Can you believe you actually used to be

friends with Amy Loubalu?

Alas, it's true--

until I traded up to you two.

Dylan!

I took your suggestion

and got my hair cut into a Bob.

Definitely cuted up.

See? People know I care. Easy vote.

But what about Nicole Paterson?

She's major competition.

Lola and Hannah see me as their leader,

and a leader should never show weakness.

That would be 'Très Mauvais'.

That's French for "ew."

"What" and "ever."

A good candidate likes the competish.

If I ran for Blossom Queen unopposed and won,

boring.

And who has the number one seat on the ramp?

Moi.

Dude. Hey.

Oh, look. Asher's holding it for me.

Ohh! So sweet.

Ohh!

Ohh! You-- you geek!

This is designer!

No, it's tuna noodle casserole.

You are so guh-Ross!

"Gross" is just one syllable.

I can't believe the popular people like me

are forced to share the same air

as nerderers like you!

What?!

Forced to share the same air as me?

Okay, you wear so much perfume,

you need a gas mask just to survive!

Watch.

Is this yesterday's fettuccini alfredo...

Recycled?

No paparazzi!

Ohh!

So sweet.

Ohh! Ohh!

Ohh! You-- you geek!

This is designer!

No, it's tuna noodle casserole.

You are so guh-Ross!

"Gross" is just one syllable.

Ohh!

That's classic.

Look what you did to my friends!

But I didn't--!

I can't believe the popular people like me

are forced to share the same air as nerderers like you!

I prefer the term "film geek."

They must practice that.

Casablanca. Curtiz is the director.

It also stars Ingrid Bergman,

Peter Lorre, and Claude Rains.

As Bogart's best film? I fully disagree.

The African Queen, with Katherine Hepburn,

directed by John Huston.

I mean, it's miraculous.

I mean, it's unbelievable. Hi!

Oh, look.

The film club president finally decided to show up.

Sorry, guys, I got stuck in traffic on the diva freeway.

Wow. Where's your lunch?

Dylan Schoenfield's wearing it.

My food went where no mere mortal has ever gone before--

the ramp.

You need a passport to go in there.

Passport?

You need a robot army,

with level-83 dragon slayer skills.

Okay, guys, seriously,

it's a whole other alien world,

a mystery species.

We'll never fully understand the populars

and the way their strange vortex works.

Okay, what are you inventing now?

Artificial intelligence chess.

Hey, Amy.

Choir: * Aaaahhh

that's a cool guitar case.

Never gonna happen, friend.

Thanks for the support, pal.

Calculate this, Josh.

You've been crushing on Amy Loubalu

since third grade. We're juniors.

That's approximately 2,268 school days,

minus summer breaks, that you could have asked her out, and haven't.

I'd go out with you.

Guys, I don't have time for dating.

Okay, the Puget Sound film festival is only six weeks away.

And he's our school's best shot at total domination

in the city's student film scene. You'd better win.

No, I gotta win.

Okay, first prize is a summer

at a Hollywood film camp,

in Los Angeles.

All right, I want to make this

groundbreaking documentary

that truly changes the bar--

you know, a film that establishes me

as the next cinematic genius.

So, what's the documentary about?

No idea.

You have no idea?

So...

Wanna go out with me?

No.

Come in.

Mr. F.?

Oh. Josh.

I brought my application.

Favorite student.

Great, great. Like this.

I can't wait to see what my star student

has come up with, huh?

It's a documentary about the evolution of...

Robot voices in the science fiction genre?

Yeah. You know how no two robots

ever sound the same in any Sci-Fi movie?

You know, you have your "I. Am. A. Robot."

But then you have these futuristic, like...

Josh.

Your artistic vision is robot voices?

Yeah. Mr. F., I'm struggling here.

I've got all these great ideas, but...

None of 'em are good enough.

You really would like to win that trip

to Hollywood film camp, huh?

More than anything.

Then challenge yourself, Josh.

Choose a documentary subject matter

where you stretch your limits.

Explore new territory. Discover the truth.

How 'bout instead of robots...

A human subject?

A human?

Okay. So, challenging.

Truthful.

But human.

Got it.

Right. Now, I will need a real proposal by tomorrow.

Otherwise, I will have to give our school's slot

to another student.

Okay.

No, I am not taking a dollar less than the listing price.

Well, that's great.

I can have the paperwork sent right over.

Great. Talk to you soon.

Well, sweetie, what do you think--

do we turn this place into a sparkles cupcakes

or accessories barn?

Dad, anyone who buys their accessories in a barn

is 'totes tragique'.

I vote for cupcakes.

Gives it more of a glam factor.

And that is why you're my top advisor.

Uh, you know what?

I am gonna have to head back to the office for a late meeting.

Whatevs. Ooh, I need to borrow your marketing team.

Marketing team? Why?

Blossom Queen! It's essential!

I need signs, brochures, headshots...!

Oh, well... Absolutely not.

But Nicole Paterson has the whole Varsity and J.V. Football team

making posters for her campaign.

Yes, and you have ingenuity.

If you want to win, you need to do this on your own.

Your're a smart girl.
