Teenage Vampire

I'm gonna be the greatest bowler one day,

knocking pin by pin, one by one, and we're gonna win

the Astro SuperBowl Tournament this year.

Yeah we are.

Look at that technique, slow and smooth

as they roll the ball down the aisle.

Strike by strike, the balls roll.

Hey, Chase, you dreaming about joining

the Guinness Book of World Record

for girl that loses the most games in bowling?

Yeah. - Get lost, punk.

Chase, don't listen to them.

This is the last day of summer,

and we are finally gonna win one of these days.

You really think so?

Yeah, sure we will.

Our teammates are intimidating,

but we round off the team,

and they wouldn't have a team without us.

Now, let's just get to our lane,

and let's ignore these losers.

Yeah, you heard me.

Hey, Chase and Pam!

Hi, Mrs. Thompson.

It's Roberta, none of this formal stuff.

Right, sorry, I'm just used to being polite.

We're like family here, so don't you worry.

Hey, I'm glad you're here, you're up next.

Roberta, I'm not good.

In fact, I'm the worst bowler on the team.

You can't be afraid to take risks in life.

You have to take the risk without losing who you are.

Go ahead, use the Holy Roller for this one.

Slayers never die.

We bowl like thunder, we strike like lightning!

Told you I'm not good.

You're getting better.

You girls did a great job.

I brought gifts.

What do you think? - I love it.

Oh my gosh.

You like it? - It's so cute.

Good!

Yes, I'm so proud of you girls.

Chase, dear, are you excited

for your first day of senior year in high school?

You bet I am.

Are you gonna be needing a ride,

or are you going with your best friend, Pam?

Pam's picking me up in a couple of minutes.

I appreciate you guys letting me go to school

with her, so I don't look like a dork,

bring dropped off by my mother.

Can I go with you guys?

No, heck no, I don't wanna look

like a little loser with my little tag-along brother.

Don't worry, Dean, I'm taking you to school.

Some of us aren't as mean as your sister.

Oh, gotta go.

What about your breakfast?

Take a banana.

Well, have a nice day, honey.

Bye! - Bye.

Chase, let's get going.

We don't wanna be late.

Okay, okay.

I heard that Coach Becca went missing

over the summer and they had to hire a new coach.

Oh, yeah.

I also heard that the cheerleading squad

flat out did not return this year

out of grief or something.

That's unfortunate.

What if we join the cheerleading team,

and then rule the school in their place.

School would never let rejects like us

onto the cheerleading squad.

Who are those girls?

They're new and they're already talking to Sean Patrick?

We're gonna have cool friends like that one day.

This year, I'm gonna say yes to anything

that will make us cool.

I've been cautious my whole life,

and I think it's about time I start taking some risks.

I love that!

Yeah, yeah, me too.

Finally giving into your rebellious side, I see.

Okay, so let's make a promise to each other

to say yes to anything this year,

and I mean anything, no matter how crazy.

Yes.

Maybe I'll even ask Sean Patrick out on a date.

Okay, come on.

Hey, Chase, hi, Pam.

No.

Oh, I'm so sorry!

I don't really have a lot of tolerance for losers.

Yeah, sure you don't.

Let her go.

Choke her.

You will never ask the hottest guy

in school out on a date.

All right, all right, all right, ladies.

All right, what are your names?

And do you even go to school here?

Maybe we do, or maybe we don't.

Don't get smart with me, young lady.

I'm sure you have some place to be,

so go get your butts to class now.

Your wish is my command.

Losers.

Well, can you two ladies tell me what's going on here?

No worries, it's just a misunderstanding.

We're okay.

Well, I may be new here, but I can spot

a troublemaker from a mile away,

and those girls look like bad news.

Yeah, we know.

Well, I'm Mrs. Rooney, I'm the new cheerleading coach.

It's nice to meet you, I'm Chase, and this is Pam.

I'm holding auditions tonight in the school gymnasium.

How do you girls feel about trying out

for cheerleading squad?

All the slots are up for grabs.

No, couldn't be us, no way.

Actually, she means yes.

We'll be there, nice to meet you, Miss Rooney.

Nice to meet you. - Let's go.

No risk, no reward, ladies.

Good afternoon, welcome to AP English.

Today, we'll be working on your summer reading.

You new students who were not with us last year,

the reading assignment for them

was to read the poem titled "Rime of the Ancient Mariner."

If you read it, you already know the answer,

but, before we begin, we need to have a discussion

about the main theme behind

"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner."

Can anyone tell me the main theme of this story?

Anyone?

Anyone? No one?

Yes, please.

It's a long poem about supernatural powers,

written in 1793 by Samuel Taylor Coleridge,

where a sailor is fighting a curse

put on him and his shipmates.

The main theme is moral repentance.

Very well, thank you.

You may continue with your assignments.

Hey.

What?

So, are we gonna do this tonight or...?

No, it's too scary.

What if we just don't audition?

What happened to saying yes?

If you manage to overcome your fear,

I'll try out, too, deal?

Fine.

No risk, no reward, right?

Let's make this the best senior year ever.

Welcome to this year's cheerleader tryouts.

My name is Mrs. Rooney, and I'm the new cheerleading coach.

Now I just want to take a moment to show you something.

This is just one of the many trophies

I've won over the course of my career.

It's special because it was the first,

but definitely not the last.

Oh, no. - I like to think cheer is easy,

and, if it was any easier, it would be called football.

Losers.

So show me your best,

and I promise to show you your true best.

Chase, don't worry about it. Just focus on cheerleading.

Okay.

Okay, ladies, all spots are open.

Let the auditions begin.

Good luck.

May the best woman win.

Woo!

You first.

You got this, okay?

Wow, that was so good.

How do you think I did? - You did really good.

Not sure how I did, but at least I tried.

All right, ladies, thank you so much for being here tonight.

Y'all did a wonderful job.

I will be posting the results of this audition

outside my office.

I made it!

Oh, I'm sorry. - No, no.

That works out, actually.

I don't wanna be on the cheerleading squad, anyway.

Besides, I can still go to games.

And that'll still be fun.

It's funny that you mention that, Pam.

I need an assistant to help me manage the girls,

someone who can be at practice everyday and help me out.

Are you serious, do I look like--

Yes!

She would love to say yes to this.
