Deadly Cheer Mom

Pre-calc blows. I can't believe I'm failing.

Maybe you should sleep with the teacher.

Genius.

Hey, guys, so I got this new necklace today.

There, now you can see it.

Hey, guys. Hey, guys. Hey, guys.

So you know how much I love karma...

I need to win this cheerleading scholarship.

Maybe you should sleep with the...

Maybe you should sleep with the recruiter.

Genius.

I need to win this cheerleading scholarship.

I'll do anything. I'll do anything.

Anything.

ª What you gonna do? What you what you gonna do? ª

Nice.

Ooh!

ª What you what you gonna do? ª

Violet, you gotta pick it up a little bit.

ª What you gonna do? ª

There it is. Great job, ladies.

Excellent job out there, ladies.

You should all be proud of yourselves.

Right, this is so funny.

Congratulations. It's not easy.

Mom, I think I twisted my ankle.

- Did you hear me? - I heard you. Walk it off.

Now, before we post the list of cuts,

I have another announcement.

Rossmore Carmel University

is recruiting for their cheer team.

They'll be holding cheer workshops this weekend

to select one senior cheerleader from our school

to receive a full-ride scholarship

to the university this fall because you're state champion...

This is what we've been waiting for.

RCU is the best school in the state.

- I know. - I've always wanted to go there.

First workshop is this weekend.

The head recruiter, Teddy, is a good friend of mine,

and I made sure to talk you ladies up.

Now, I'd like to announce

this year's new team captain.

Beth Hartford. Congratulations.

- Congrats. - Congratulations!

Mom?

I will fix this.

Thank you, guys. Thank you.

- I made it! - Oh, yeah!

Um, mom, are you sure?

You were the best out there, honey.

- Guys, just celebrate. - Shocking!

Coach's daughter makes captain.

Gee, I wonder if you'll get the scholarship, too,

considering your mom is best friends with the recruiter.

You're just jealous, Ashley.

I got cut.

Are you crying?

- God! Get a life, Ashley. - I...

Sorry.

It's funny. She had tears.

Your favoritism is outrageous.

Beth earned captain, Marisol.

And I don't like the way that you're speaking to me.

I'll speak to you however I want.

- I can't believe this. - All the moms agree.

I'm the only one with the guts to say it.

Hey, that's not true, Marisol, don't drag us into your drama

just 'cause your daughter can't hack it.

Don't bring my daughter into this.

Really? You wanna do this here? Right now?

- Okay, okay. Everyone cool off. - Really?

Marisol, let's talk about this privately?

No need. I'm going directly to Principal McNamara.

Let's go.

Are you sure you didn't make me captain

because I'm your daughter?

Being captain is about more than mastering a dance move.

Ashley is divisive and cliquey.

- You rally the team behind you. - Thanks, mom.

And don't pay any attention to Marisol.

She's had it out for me ever since high school.

You got cheer captain over her, too, right?

Mm-hmm, she's never forgotten it. Been after my job for years.

You know, um,

I was thinking about that second routine.

Yeah, what about it?

That solo performance after the second chorus,

um, you've got Sarah doing it.

And she's, uh...

You think I should replace her?

Yeah.

Ashley's better for those moves.

Well, you're better than Ashley.

- How about you do it? - Mom, I...

- I-I shouldn't. - No, you're doing it.

And you're right about Sarah. I'll make the change.

Everything all right?

Oh, yeah, just one of my friends being weird.

Hey, did you talk to your mom

about switching me in the choreography?

Yes. Sorry.

Um, but she'll totally keep you in mind for the next routine

or if someone gets injured or something.

Okay. Thanks.

I'm sorry, Sarah.

Uh, it's whatever, dude.

At least I get to show off my guns in the final eight count.

I'm gonna post a video of me killin' it, and you watch!

This girl is goin' viral!

Ladies love it, yo.

At least we didn't get cut like Violet.

Tragic. She's been on the team since freshman year.

Heard Melody just broke up with her, too.

Wait, seriously?

Now I feel even worse.

- Why? You didn't cut her. - Yeah.

But... I sort of suggested to my mom

that we keep another girl over her.

I mean, she is good. She's just a little socially awkward.

How embarrassing.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm okay. Thanks.

I'm really sorry you got cut from the squad.

It's fine. I get how it is.

Are you, uh, going to the Carmel workshop tomorrow?

I don't know, maybe this is my sign

my cheerleading days are over.

Oh, well-well, you have to try

or you'll never know if you could've made it.

Maybe. I mean...

It'd make my mom happy, for sure.

Thanks, Beth. It's cool you're so nice to me.

Of course, just 'cause you're not on the team

doesn't mean we can't be friends.

- Hey, come on. - Okay.

- Hey, guys. - Hey, you.

Hey, everyone, I can't believe tomorrow is cheer workshop day.

I'm a little nervous, but mostly I'm just hoping

that I have a good day out there and everyone does their best.

I'll keep you guys updated, okay? Love you.

Gotta stay hydrated.

Turning in already?

Yup. Big day tomorrow. Gotta rest up.

Well, good idea. You'll do great.

- Thanks, mom. - Yeah.

- Goodnight, honey. - Goodnight.

Hey, Violet, do you wanna go...

Ugh! There are no cool girls at our school.

What about Melody? She's single now, right?

I can't do that to Violet.

Well, what about Violet?

Yeah, okay.

Hey. Glad you snuck out.

- Who wants a drink? - Me.

Uh, no, thanks. Gotta be in top shape for the workshop tomorrow.

Oh, right. The recruiting event.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Grant, I know that look. What's up?

I'm happy for you, really,

but it sucks that so much of your time gets eaten up

by cheerleading.

I wish we could spend more time together, that's all.

- We spend tons of time together. - Yeah, late at night.

Once you've finished with everyone else.

Are you really complaining about this?

Of course not.

I just thought maybe in college things would be different.

Maybe we do normal things together.

Watch a football game in the stands, like a regular couple.

You know, that sort of thing.

You wanna stay together in college?

Of course I do!

- Guys, we're in public. Please. - Okay. All right.

That's enough.

You know what?

- One drink couldn't hurt. - That's our girl.

- To the workshop. - Mm, may the best woman win.

- I'll drink to that. - Yup, cheers.

- Mm. Mm. All right. - We party?

- Yes, ma'am. - Let's go.

- I'll get another one. - Already?

- Yeah. - But you just got it.

Hey, everyone, I can't believe tomorrow is cheer workshop day.

I'm a little nervous, but mostly I'm just hoping that

the other cheerleaders suck

as bad as they usually do.

You know I don't even like cheerleading?

I hate it. I hate my teammates.

And I especially hate my washed-up mom.

What the hell?

You know I don't even like cheerleading?

I hate it. I hate my teammates.

And I especially hate my washed-up mom.

It's so obviously fake, your mouth

isn't even synced to what you're saying.

I checked my account, and my original video is still there.

- Totally normal. - Maybe it's a joke?
