1
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:17,976
Sorry.

2
00:00:22,773 --> 00:00:27,361
Tyler. Hey, check this out. It's got
this cool little train beat at the end.

3
00:00:27,444 --> 00:00:28,445
Uh-huh.

4
00:00:32,323 --> 00:00:35,285
Awesome.
But do you always have to use my locker?

5
00:00:38,747 --> 00:00:41,583
Seth. How many times have I told you?

6
00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:44,545
No drumming in the halls.
That's why we have a music room.

7
00:00:44,628 --> 00:00:47,256
Yeah, but it's at the other end
of the school, so…

8
00:00:50,634 --> 00:00:52,761
You can get these back after school.

9
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:57,766
Don't worry.
I've got an extra pair in my bag.

10
00:01:04,772 --> 00:01:06,275
You ready for the math test?

11
00:01:06,358 --> 00:01:08,402
What? There's a test?

12
00:01:08,485 --> 00:01:11,697
How could you forget?
Ms. Balfour mentioned it last class.

13
00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:13,282
I was joking.

14
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,200
Never mind.

15
00:01:15,284 --> 00:01:18,662
Not to jinx anything, but I think
I might be able to get a C this time.

16
00:01:18,745 --> 00:01:19,746
Me too.

17
00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:22,708
Last night, I was babysitting,
and the dog ate my homework.

18
00:01:22,791 --> 00:01:24,668
Seriously. No joke.

19
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:27,921
Good morning.

20
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:33,510
So, it looks like we have a situation
on our hands, and it's not good.

21
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:35,095
Yesterday, after school,

22
00:01:35,179 --> 00:01:40,350
someone got into Ms. Balfour's computer
and stole the answer key to today's test.

23
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:42,728
Now, obviously,
whoever did this knows it was wrong.

24
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:46,690
So, I'm giving them
till the end of the day to come see me.

25
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:49,651
Otherwise, Ms. Balfour's gonna
have to write all new questions,

26
00:01:49,735 --> 00:01:52,446
which means double the study time
for all of you.

27
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:55,949
And if no one comes forward,

28
00:01:56,491 --> 00:02:00,954
I will meet with each of you one-on-one
till I figure out who did this.

29
00:02:31,026 --> 00:02:32,736
"In fact, 74% of students

30
00:02:32,819 --> 00:02:36,365
report an increase in efficiency
in their core subjects after they--"

31
00:02:37,741 --> 00:02:40,118
Trick is not to read the speech.
I use bullet points.

32
00:02:40,202 --> 00:02:42,204
Gives it more of a laid-back feel,
you know?

33
00:02:42,287 --> 00:02:43,747
How can I help you, Seth?

34
00:02:44,748 --> 00:02:47,543
Well, you said the guilty person
has till the end of the day, so…

35
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:49,211
You stole the test key.

36
00:02:50,671 --> 00:02:51,964
Somehow, I'm not surprised.

37
00:02:52,631 --> 00:02:54,258
- Ouch.
- Have a seat.

38
00:03:00,681 --> 00:03:02,516
All right, let's see here.

39
00:03:05,227 --> 00:03:06,436
Who are you calling?

40
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,729
Your parents.

41
00:03:07,813 --> 00:03:10,148
Oh, no,
I don't really think that's necessary.

42
00:03:10,232 --> 00:03:11,358
They're very busy people.

43
00:03:11,441 --> 00:03:13,569
Yes, hi, this is Principal Young.

44
00:03:13,652 --> 00:03:17,072
Please call me back at
your earliest convenience regarding Seth.

45
00:03:17,155 --> 00:03:20,617
A situation has come up that I would like
to discuss with you. Thank you.

46
00:03:21,451 --> 00:03:23,370
Pretty sure I'm about to be grounded.

47
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:27,791
If it makes any difference,
I really regret what I did.

48
00:03:28,375 --> 00:03:30,460
Good. But it doesn't.

49
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:34,131
Once I talk to your parents,
we will decide on how to handle it.

50
00:03:39,303 --> 00:03:41,013
I'm glad you told me, though.

51
00:03:41,096 --> 00:03:42,598
At least you did that right.

52
00:03:46,685 --> 00:03:49,521
As you all know, Newton is a tech mecca,

53
00:03:49,605 --> 00:03:53,525
and our school has produced
one of its titans.

54
00:03:53,609 --> 00:03:54,735
Wow.

55
00:03:54,818 --> 00:03:57,863
I am very excited
that Dr. Anna Myers has returned

56
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,949
to give us a sneak peek
at her newest invention.

57
00:04:01,033 --> 00:04:02,367
And it wasn't long ago

58
00:04:02,451 --> 00:04:05,746
when she was sitting
where you are all sitting right now.

59
00:04:05,829 --> 00:04:10,167
Which goes to show you,
with hard work, anything is possible.

60
00:04:12,127 --> 00:04:16,048
We haven't officially launched this yet,
so you are the first to see it in action.

61
00:04:16,130 --> 00:04:20,886
In simplest terms, this allows
basic thoughts to be exchanged

62
00:04:20,969 --> 00:04:23,096
or swapped within a fraction of a second.

63
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:24,223
Like telepathy?

64
00:04:24,306 --> 00:04:25,307
Sort of.

65
00:04:25,849 --> 00:04:27,309
I need two volunteers.

66
00:04:27,893 --> 00:04:29,061
We'll do it.

67
00:04:29,144 --> 00:04:31,355
Wait. It's already working.

68
00:04:32,898 --> 00:04:35,067
Tyler, how dare you say that.

69
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,944
Hey, you started it.

70
00:04:38,237 --> 00:04:41,073
Okay, that's enough. Have a seat, Tyler.

71
00:04:41,949 --> 00:04:42,991
I'll do it.

72
00:04:43,575 --> 00:04:45,244
You remember being their age.

73
00:04:46,578 --> 00:04:48,330
- Seth.
- Yes.

74
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:53,126
These electrodes will allow thoughts
to be shared instantaneously.

75
00:05:01,343 --> 00:05:03,303
Now, close your eyes.

76
00:05:03,387 --> 00:05:07,891
You might be able to sense
as if something's with you,

77
00:05:07,975 --> 00:05:08,976
even if it's faint.

78
00:05:09,059 --> 00:05:11,270
Almost as if
someone's looking over your shoulder.

79
00:05:11,353 --> 00:05:13,689
I always feel like Principal Young's
looking over my shoulder.

80
00:05:16,275 --> 00:05:18,944
Okay, that means
the connection's been made.

81
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:23,365
Now, the other person
can't see all of your thoughts.

82
00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:24,950
They can't read your mind.

83
00:05:25,033 --> 00:05:26,994
But they can receive a thought you create.

84
00:05:27,077 --> 00:05:31,164
And they can access it if you think
about them or think of their name.

85
00:05:31,248 --> 00:05:34,126
- Cool.
- I agree with Seth. Very cool.

86
00:05:35,002 --> 00:05:36,044
Okay.

87
00:05:54,271 --> 00:05:55,939
<i>Transfer completed.</i>

88
00:05:59,401 --> 00:06:03,071
What did you do?
I'm in the body of a 12-year-old.

89
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:14,708
In my previous tests, only simple thoughts
and basic sentences could be exchanged.

90
00:06:14,791 --> 00:06:17,503
But you've literally swapped everything.

91
00:06:18,086 --> 00:06:20,339
You can fix this, right?

92
00:06:20,422 --> 00:06:23,759
I can't run the school in the body of him.

93
00:06:24,343 --> 00:06:26,220
Wow, you have really bad eyesight.

94
00:06:26,929 --> 00:06:29,097
Don't worry.
I should be able to reverse the effects

95
00:06:29,181 --> 00:06:31,683
by recalibrating
the brain-to-processor neural interface.

96
00:06:31,767 --> 00:06:33,018
How long will that take?

97
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:36,271
Maybe 24 hours or so.

98
00:06:36,855 --> 00:06:37,856
Twenty-four hours?

99
00:06:39,483 --> 00:06:40,859
We can't let this get out.

100
00:06:40,943 --> 00:06:42,778
It won't look good
that we let some scientist

101
00:06:42,861 --> 00:06:44,655
perform dangerous experiments on a student

102
00:06:44,738 --> 00:06:46,365
just because she once went to school here.

103
00:06:46,448 --> 00:06:49,201
You think this looks good for me?
I could lose my funding.

104
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,038
So we agree? We keep this quiet.

105
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:55,874
Are you kidding?

106
00:06:55,958 --> 00:06:57,000
Seth?

107
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:59,419
I get to be principal and run the school?

108
00:07:00,003 --> 00:07:03,298
- Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
- Hold on, you're not running anything.

109
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:07,553
I could do a very convincing you.
In fact, I do a killer impression.

110
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:09,972
It's very tasteful though.

111
00:07:10,055 --> 00:07:11,640
I better get to work.

112
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:15,519
Just hang in there for the next 24 hours.

113
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:22,359
If we're gonna pull this off,
we need to have some rules.

114
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:25,070
If anything comes up that seems important,
come find me.

115
00:07:25,153 --> 00:07:28,240
What could come up? I'm the principal.

116
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:30,784
I'll just raid the fridge
in the teachers' lounge

117
00:07:30,868 --> 00:07:32,202
and nap on the couch.

118
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:36,164
FYI, I have a fitness test
in PE later, so good luck.

119
00:07:36,248 --> 00:07:39,001
Also,
I have drumming lessons after school.

120
00:07:39,084 --> 00:07:42,129
Also, you have a lot of history reading
to do for tomorrow.

121
00:07:42,212 --> 00:07:45,883
Mr. Berg assigns a ton of work. Yes.

122
00:07:47,134 --> 00:07:49,052
And don't touch anything in my office.

123
00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:57,728
Excuse me, Principal Young.

124
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,646
Yes. That's me.

125
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:02,733
Seth's parents are on line one.
You said it was important.

126
00:08:02,816 --> 00:08:06,486
Yes. It is. Thank you.

127
00:08:09,948 --> 00:08:10,949
Mom?

128
00:08:11,658 --> 00:08:12,910
Mom of Seth?

129
00:08:14,077 --> 00:08:15,913
Thank you for returning my call.

130
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:29,718
Hey. I love your apartment.

131
00:08:29,801 --> 00:08:31,512
<i>Do you happen to have an extra toothbrush?</i>

132
00:08:31,595 --> 00:08:36,058
'Cause I feel kind of hinky using yours,
even though, technically, I am you.

133
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:37,601
Don't touch my toothbrush.

134
00:08:38,268 --> 00:08:40,729
There's an extra one in the sink.
Throw it away when you're done.

135
00:08:40,812 --> 00:08:42,063
Okay, got it.

136
00:08:44,691 --> 00:08:46,860
-<i>What's going on over there?</i>
- I could use a hand.

137
00:08:46,944 --> 00:08:48,195
Your parents made steak.

138
00:08:48,862 --> 00:08:50,614
- Lucky you.
- I'm vegan.

139
00:08:50,697 --> 00:08:53,575
Seth, no phones at the table.
You know the rules.

140
00:08:54,368 --> 00:08:55,369
Gotta go.

141
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:58,580
Sorry… Dad.

142
00:09:00,249 --> 00:09:02,125
We got a call today from your principal.

143
00:09:02,835 --> 00:09:05,963
He said you're doing great,
and we should be proud of you.

144
00:09:06,505 --> 00:09:10,133
He also suggested we buy you
a new drum set, which was curious.

145
00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:13,554
Are you sure
he wasn't talking about another Seth?

146
00:09:13,637 --> 00:09:16,974
Maybe check again tomorrow after 2:00.

147
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:20,394
I don't know why you say the principal
is so mean. He seemed nice to me.

148
00:09:20,477 --> 00:09:21,520
Mean?

149
00:09:24,273 --> 00:09:26,358
Well, dig in.

150
00:09:42,207 --> 00:09:43,375
What a slob.

151
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:52,718
Seth's drumsticks.

152
00:10:29,671 --> 00:10:30,881
Honey.

153
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,759
Sorry to startle you.

154
00:10:33,842 --> 00:10:35,969
I thought you had a lot
of history reading to do.

155
00:10:36,053 --> 00:10:37,054
I do.

156
00:10:37,763 --> 00:10:40,724
Just letting off some steam first.

157
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,479
I forgot to ask about your math test.
I know how hard you studied for it.

158
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:47,523
These flash cards you made really helped.

159
00:10:48,023 --> 00:10:50,692
I know you were nervous,
but you definitely knew your stuff,

160
00:10:50,776 --> 00:10:52,569
and I am sure you aced it.

161
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:55,197
Lights-out in an hour.

162
00:11:01,203 --> 00:11:02,663
Seth did study?

163
00:11:05,916 --> 00:11:07,251
Perfect score?

164
00:11:21,849 --> 00:11:22,891
Oh, sorry.

165
00:11:29,815 --> 00:11:30,899
Yo, Kev!

166
00:11:31,650 --> 00:11:32,943
Morning, Lisa.

167
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:34,069
Ms. Balfour.

168
00:11:34,987 --> 00:11:37,197
Is it me, or was that odd?

169
00:11:37,281 --> 00:11:38,490
Very odd.

170
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:42,244
Yo, Ty. That fit is straight fire.

171
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:45,873
No cap.

172
00:11:53,964 --> 00:11:55,257
Really, really odd.

173
00:11:58,802 --> 00:12:02,139
Hey. Does your assistant
bring you a pastry every morning?

174
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:03,599
Give me that.

175
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,144
What happened to your face?
I mean, my face?

176
00:12:07,686 --> 00:12:09,271
Never shaved before.

177
00:12:09,354 --> 00:12:12,274
Also, this morning when I woke up,
my lower back hurt.

178
00:12:12,357 --> 00:12:14,776
I think it could be
a side effect of the experiment.

179
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:16,236
It's called getting old.

180
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,032
Let's talk about the stolen answers.
You were prepared for the test.

181
00:12:21,617 --> 00:12:22,910
What's going on?

182
00:12:24,620 --> 00:12:27,664
These were my mom's idea.
I barely used 'em.

183
00:12:28,332 --> 00:12:29,333
Come on, Seth.

184
00:12:30,292 --> 00:12:31,543
You knew your stuff.

185
00:12:31,627 --> 00:12:33,003
Who did it?

186
00:12:33,629 --> 00:12:34,713
Was it Tyler?

187
00:12:35,297 --> 00:12:36,715
He's barely passing Math

188
00:12:37,591 --> 00:12:40,844
and English and History.

189
00:12:40,928 --> 00:12:43,931
I did it.
Why would I lie about something like that?

190
00:12:44,932 --> 00:12:46,058
I'm not sure.

191
00:12:46,725 --> 00:12:48,185
But you're covering for someone.

192
00:12:49,937 --> 00:12:51,438
Better get to class.

193
00:13:02,616 --> 00:13:03,909
Hey, Tyler.

194
00:13:06,411 --> 00:13:08,163
I gotta tell you something.

195
00:13:08,247 --> 00:13:12,125
Yesterday, I told the principal
I stole the test key.

196
00:13:12,209 --> 00:13:14,002
You stole the test key?

197
00:13:14,086 --> 00:13:15,254
Not so loud.

198
00:13:16,213 --> 00:13:21,885
No, I didn't steal it. I just said I did.
We both know who actually stole it.

199
00:13:21,969 --> 00:13:23,554
We do? Who?

200
00:13:23,637 --> 00:13:25,889
You, Tyler. You stole the test key.

201
00:13:25,973 --> 00:13:28,225
No, I didn't.
Why would you even think that?

202
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:30,185
'Cause your grades are bad?

203
00:13:30,269 --> 00:13:31,895
My grades have always been bad.

204
00:13:34,064 --> 00:13:36,149
That actually makes sense in a weird way.

205
00:13:39,486 --> 00:13:40,779
I'm just kidding.

206
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:42,531
I know you didn't steal it.

207
00:13:42,614 --> 00:13:44,241
I don't get the joke.

208
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:47,953
Did you all know that they had these
in the teachers' lounge?

209
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:49,538
How awesome is that?

210
00:13:52,541 --> 00:13:54,626
So, what's going on?

211
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:58,005
- Usually, you start the meeting.
- Of course I do.

212
00:13:58,881 --> 00:14:01,091
But for today, let's switch it up.

213
00:14:01,175 --> 00:14:05,762
Okay. Well, we need a fundraising idea
for the new team uniforms.

214
00:14:05,846 --> 00:14:07,389
We could sell chocolate bars.

215
00:14:07,472 --> 00:14:09,766
Nah, that's been done.

216
00:14:11,393 --> 00:14:13,812
I got it: block party.

217
00:14:14,396 --> 00:14:15,564
Excuse me?

218
00:14:15,647 --> 00:14:18,859
You know, we get a deejay,
decorate the gym with some graffiti art,

219
00:14:18,942 --> 00:14:20,235
get some food trucks.

220
00:14:20,319 --> 00:14:22,237
All the proceeds go to the uniforms.

221
00:14:22,321 --> 00:14:24,698
Actually, that's a good idea.

222
00:14:24,781 --> 00:14:26,325
Of course it is.

223
00:14:26,408 --> 00:14:27,910
I'm the principal.

224
00:14:27,993 --> 00:14:30,370
- What's next?
- Revising the school lunch menu.

225
00:14:31,205 --> 00:14:32,539
Get rid of the chili.

226
00:14:32,623 --> 00:14:35,167
It's revolting, and everyone feels sick
the rest of the day.

227
00:14:35,918 --> 00:14:38,212
Replace it with pizza.

228
00:14:38,795 --> 00:14:40,172
But Pizza Day is Tuesday.

229
00:14:41,006 --> 00:14:42,758
Now Pizza Day is Tuesday and Thursday.

230
00:14:43,842 --> 00:14:45,802
This is fun. What else?

231
00:14:45,886 --> 00:14:48,555
I need help.
I'm still having trouble with Jeremy.

232
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:50,390
He's a disruption to the class.

233
00:14:50,474 --> 00:14:53,519
- Jeremy's the worst.
- Principal Young.

234
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,189
Oh, come on, we're all thinking it.

235
00:15:00,192 --> 00:15:02,569
All right, well, if we're done here,

236
00:15:02,653 --> 00:15:05,280
I think I saw some Hot Pockets
in the teachers' lounge.

237
00:15:06,281 --> 00:15:08,659
Good luck at today's big board meeting.

238
00:15:08,742 --> 00:15:09,952
Thanks.

239
00:15:11,662 --> 00:15:13,747
Which board meeting you referring to?

240
00:15:13,830 --> 00:15:14,915
I have so many I--

241
00:15:15,916 --> 00:15:19,002
- Cutting the music budget.
- Cutting the music budget?

242
00:15:22,798 --> 00:15:24,216
Wait for it.

243
00:15:26,176 --> 00:15:27,594
That's priceless.

244
00:15:27,678 --> 00:15:29,763
Seth, you never got back to me.

245
00:15:29,847 --> 00:15:31,765
I was a little preoccupied.

246
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,811
- What did you think of my design?
- What's it for?

247
00:15:35,894 --> 00:15:38,480
My T-shirt printing business.

248
00:15:39,064 --> 00:15:41,149
Be honest,
would you pay 35 bucks for this?

249
00:15:41,233 --> 00:15:43,819
Thirty-five dollars? For a T-shirt?

250
00:15:44,695 --> 00:15:45,696
Not a chance.

251
00:15:48,407 --> 00:15:51,118
But I may not be your target audience.

252
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,623
Seth, I need to talk to you. Now.

253
00:16:00,752 --> 00:16:02,421
You're cutting the music budget?

254
00:16:02,504 --> 00:16:04,923
How could you?
It's literally the only subject I like.

255
00:16:05,007 --> 00:16:06,675
I'm not cutting the budget.

256
00:16:06,758 --> 00:16:09,178
The school board is.
I'm trying to save it.

257
00:16:10,596 --> 00:16:12,890
- You are? Really?
- Yes.

258
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:16,894
Believe it or not,
I care about music, just not in the halls.

259
00:16:17,769 --> 00:16:21,106
- I don't wanna cut the arts.
- I'm sorry, I just assumed tha--

260
00:16:21,190 --> 00:16:23,066
I have a big meeting with the board later.

261
00:16:23,150 --> 00:16:26,153
It'll be fine. We just need the doctor
to put everything back to normal.

262
00:16:26,236 --> 00:16:27,613
Let's go then.

263
00:16:30,073 --> 00:16:32,910
Let me just triple-check the connections.

264
00:16:34,161 --> 00:16:36,538
Before we switch back,
I just wanted to say…

265
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:41,752
I sort of spilled some sauce on your rug.
And your hot tub broke, although,

266
00:16:41,835 --> 00:16:45,130
- I think it was faulty to begin with.
- It's only been 24 hours.

267
00:16:45,714 --> 00:16:49,092
- Kay. We're good to go. Ready?
- Yes.

268
00:16:49,676 --> 00:16:53,847
All right, shut your eyes. Concentrate.

269
00:17:04,650 --> 00:17:07,861
Nothing happened. I'm still him.

270
00:17:08,904 --> 00:17:09,905
Okay, don't panic.

271
00:17:11,073 --> 00:17:14,326
The brain is a complicated
tangle of neurons,

272
00:17:14,409 --> 00:17:16,954
and this is new tech. It just takes time.

273
00:17:17,037 --> 00:17:19,957
I have a presentation in 45 minutes.
What are we supposed to do?

274
00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:21,541
I have an idea.

275
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:26,046
It's a little out-there,
but what if I gave the speech as you?

276
00:17:29,132 --> 00:17:30,759
I guess we don't have a choice.

277
00:17:32,386 --> 00:17:33,887
I'll do a good job.

278
00:17:33,971 --> 00:17:35,764
We have to save the music budget.

279
00:17:37,391 --> 00:17:40,894
By the way, I need you to write me
a note so I can get out of class early.

280
00:17:41,478 --> 00:17:42,312
Okay.

281
00:17:47,651 --> 00:17:49,611
Hey, got a sec?

282
00:17:49,695 --> 00:17:52,656
- I need to talk to you. It's important.
- What's up?

283
00:17:52,739 --> 00:17:55,659
Tyler told me you took the fall
for stealing the test key.

284
00:17:56,410 --> 00:17:57,411
He said that?

285
00:17:57,494 --> 00:18:00,831
He also said that you accused him
of being the one who did it.

286
00:18:01,665 --> 00:18:03,792
Why would you do that? You know it was me.

287
00:18:05,586 --> 00:18:08,046
You know, to mess with Tyler.

288
00:18:09,464 --> 00:18:10,966
Thanks for covering for me.

289
00:18:11,508 --> 00:18:13,343
It's just been so hard
to find time to study

290
00:18:13,427 --> 00:18:14,595
since my dad lost his job.

291
00:18:14,678 --> 00:18:17,639
I've been helping out around the house
while he looks for work,

292
00:18:17,723 --> 00:18:21,059
trying to make money by babysitting,
the T-shirt business.

293
00:18:21,643 --> 00:18:24,479
And you couldn't stand the thought
of bringing home a bad grade

294
00:18:24,563 --> 00:18:25,731
on top of everything else.

295
00:18:25,814 --> 00:18:27,983
It's not an excuse. I feel terrible.

296
00:18:28,901 --> 00:18:31,695
It was wrong,
and I'm not letting you take the fall.

297
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:34,573
I only hope the principal
doesn't come down too hard on me.

298
00:18:34,656 --> 00:18:37,868
He's a good guy. You might be surprised.

299
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:41,496
I can't believe you did this.
You're a really good friend.

300
00:18:53,050 --> 00:18:54,760
- Hello, John.
- Hi.

301
00:18:57,387 --> 00:18:58,388
Yeah.

302
00:19:04,144 --> 00:19:05,229
Who's this?

303
00:19:06,396 --> 00:19:09,566
This is Seth.
He is one of our music students,

304
00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:13,695
he is a super talented drummer,
like, insanely good.

305
00:19:13,779 --> 00:19:15,864
You should get his autograph now
'cause he is gonna be huge.

306
00:19:17,199 --> 00:19:19,159
Anyway, I thought he should come today

307
00:19:19,243 --> 00:19:22,079
so you could put a face
to the issue at hand.

308
00:19:23,539 --> 00:19:25,707
- Hey.
- Welcome, Seth.

309
00:19:27,292 --> 00:19:28,961
We're all ears, John.

310
00:19:35,384 --> 00:19:39,680
-"Newton is known to be a tech capital--"
- Sorry to interrupt,

311
00:19:40,264 --> 00:19:43,100
- but I believe you have slides, Principal.
- I do?

312
00:19:44,309 --> 00:19:45,644
Oh, yes, I do.

313
00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:48,522
Of course,
why don't you operate those for me.

314
00:19:48,605 --> 00:19:50,732
It would be my pleasure, Principal.

315
00:19:53,026 --> 00:19:56,363
"Newton is known to be a tech capital,

316
00:19:56,446 --> 00:20:00,117
but we must not overlook
the importance of being well-rounded.

317
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,079
Art, physical education, and music
are an integral part

318
00:20:04,162 --> 00:20:05,956
of our students' development.

319
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,041
As you can see from chart A,

320
00:20:08,542 --> 00:20:12,546
music has been linked
with healthy brain development,

321
00:20:12,629 --> 00:20:16,300
academic performance,
and an overall positive mind-set--"

322
00:20:16,383 --> 00:20:17,634
Sorry to interrupt again.

323
00:20:18,594 --> 00:20:20,762
Can I have a word, Principal?

324
00:20:21,388 --> 00:20:23,098
Yeah. Just one minute.

325
00:20:28,937 --> 00:20:31,315
I'm trying, but it's super boring.

326
00:20:31,398 --> 00:20:35,360
- I'm falling asleep just reading this.
- Forget the speech. I have a better idea.

327
00:20:35,944 --> 00:20:40,073
Be yourself.
Just get up there, do what you do best.

328
00:20:42,242 --> 00:20:44,870
- Which is what exactly?
- Being a class clown.

329
00:20:45,621 --> 00:20:48,165
Look, you're definitely passionate
about music.

330
00:20:49,208 --> 00:20:50,501
Make them see that.

331
00:21:01,094 --> 00:21:02,221
Forget the speech.

332
00:21:02,304 --> 00:21:05,599
It's just a bunch of facts and figures,
and it's putting us all to sleep.

333
00:21:05,682 --> 00:21:08,477
Music is not about numbers.
It's about emotion.

334
00:21:11,188 --> 00:21:14,149
- What do you listen to?
- I listen to jazz.

335
00:21:14,233 --> 00:21:16,193
Awesome. Some, Miles Davis.

336
00:21:16,276 --> 00:21:18,028
Little bit of Coltrane?

337
00:21:18,111 --> 00:21:19,780
- I bet it moves you, right?
- Yeah.

338
00:21:19,863 --> 00:21:20,906
How about you?

339
00:21:20,989 --> 00:21:22,199
I like rap.

340
00:21:22,908 --> 00:21:25,244
Didn't see that coming, but that's cool.

341
00:21:25,327 --> 00:21:26,828
I like '80s soft rock.

342
00:21:26,912 --> 00:21:29,581
Of course, you do.
And I'm not gonna hold it against you.

343
00:21:29,665 --> 00:21:34,044
The point is,
music is the soundtrack to our lives.

344
00:21:34,127 --> 00:21:36,922
It's what we listen to
when we're writing essays,

345
00:21:37,005 --> 00:21:39,925
or cooking dinner, or cleaning our rooms

346
00:21:40,008 --> 00:21:42,970
after our parents have told us to do it,
like, 15 times.

347
00:21:43,512 --> 00:21:47,516
It's what makes us happy when we're sad.
It makes us feel less alone.

348
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:50,602
We can't cut it from our schools,
'cause if we did,

349
00:21:50,686 --> 00:21:53,564
we'd be cutting off a big part
of who we are.

350
00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:13,000
Okay.

351
00:22:20,465 --> 00:22:22,467
I didn't know you knew how to play drums.

352
00:22:22,551 --> 00:22:25,179
I learned in music class.
It's a blues beat.

353
00:22:25,262 --> 00:22:26,680
Hit it, Seth.

354
00:22:28,223 --> 00:22:31,143
Come on. Clap along.

355
00:22:31,935 --> 00:22:35,731
Come on, let the music move through you.

356
00:22:35,814 --> 00:22:38,358
There you go.
Now, how about some air guitar?

357
00:22:39,526 --> 00:22:42,446
Don't tell me you don't all play
air guitar in front of the mirror.

358
00:22:42,529 --> 00:22:44,114
I know you definitely do.

359
00:22:46,742 --> 00:22:47,868
There it is.

360
00:22:49,703 --> 00:22:50,704
Yeah.

361
00:22:52,706 --> 00:22:55,042
What is going on at this school?

362
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:58,420
Odd. Very, very odd.

363
00:23:04,593 --> 00:23:05,719
You did it, Seth.

364
00:23:05,802 --> 00:23:08,514
They're not only not cutting
the music budget, they're increasing it.

365
00:23:08,597 --> 00:23:10,766
I have an idea
on what drum set we should buy.

366
00:23:11,308 --> 00:23:13,894
Okay, let's try this again.
Shut your eyes.

367
00:23:24,112 --> 00:23:25,906
<i>Transfer completed.</i>

368
00:23:29,993 --> 00:23:32,204
My back hurts. I'm me.

369
00:23:33,872 --> 00:23:36,542
- And I can see again.
- Thank goodness.

370
00:23:37,709 --> 00:23:40,003
This never happened.

371
00:23:45,676 --> 00:23:47,427
I'm gonna miss being you, Seth.

372
00:23:47,970 --> 00:23:50,889
It was nice being a kid again,
except for the homework.

373
00:23:51,515 --> 00:23:55,185
You know, in a strange way, I think
this is gonna make me a better principal.

374
00:23:55,269 --> 00:23:56,937
You're already a good principal.

375
00:23:57,896 --> 00:24:01,650
I thought all you did was sit around
making kids' lives miserable.

376
00:24:01,733 --> 00:24:04,653
You do, but not on purpose.

377
00:24:04,736 --> 00:24:07,030
Your job's hard, and you're good at it.

378
00:24:07,114 --> 00:24:08,448
Better than me.

379
00:24:10,617 --> 00:24:12,619
I talked to Logan,
and she told me what you did.

380
00:24:13,537 --> 00:24:15,163
Yeah, I was worried about that.

381
00:24:16,540 --> 00:24:19,543
Go easy on her, okay?
She's going through a lot.

382
00:24:20,419 --> 00:24:22,963
There'll be consequences,
but don't worry, they'll be fair.

383
00:24:23,630 --> 00:24:28,844
Covering for her was really stupid
but also incredibly brave.

384
00:24:29,761 --> 00:24:33,515
She's lucky to have you as a friend,
and I'm proud to have you as a student.

385
00:24:40,689 --> 00:24:42,316
See you in the halls.

386
00:24:45,194 --> 00:24:46,195
One more thing.

387
00:24:46,278 --> 00:24:49,448
Your new couch has a slight rip in it,
but I think it was already there.
