[English]

♪ Digital chime

- [Andie] Last season on Foursome,

we laughed, we cried,

we scored but most of all we lost friendships.

- I'm going back to home school.

(thud) - Alec.

- [Andie] Clubs.

- You three, suspended from football and you three from

Media Club.

Courtney Todd, you are banned from

all Brayer High School events and property.

- [Andie] And the one thing that can never be replaced.

Wanna get outta here?

My virginity!

(screaming, shouting)

Remember Brayer, the school where cool was

defined by lettermans and being the bomb

was based on how hard you shook your poms?

Well ever since we lost our best players,

the football team has been on a serious

bleak streak of hardcore losing.

And now the chess is the best.

- Attention students of Brayer,

I'm ecstatic to remind you that a certain

junkyard dumpster fire, Media Club, is still suspended.

The only place to get the news is the paper, the newspaper.

- Why do you get to hold the microphone, Divit?

Stan didn't name you the successor of the Bulletin.

- It's just a matter of time, Peg.

- Give me that. - Hey no, stop it.

- [Andie] The old Brayer where Media Club was basically

just a zone to learn how to bone doesn't exist anymore.

And no one, no one is taking this harder than Mr. Shaw.

So sad, even the Foursome was highly

affected by the events of Homecoming 2016.

One member of our group left us forever.

Oh no, she's not dead.

Her mom felt guilty for forcing her into

public school after we all got in trouble.

She promised Imogen she never had to return

and moved to a compound for homeschooled kids,

cutting off all ties to the outside world.

The Bobcats have lost their meow.

Everyone's having a hard time adjusting.

(up tempo guitar music)

Well, not everyone.

(Andie sighs)

Oh, my God, I can't believe I'm that girl.

- What girl?

- I'm that girl who gets a boyfriend

and wants to spend every second.

- Well I guess that makes me that guy.

- I can't believe it's already

been two months since Homecoming.

Winter break legit starts tomorrow.

Time goes by so fast when you're--

- Completely smitten.

- Oh, I was gonna say boning.

- I just can't believe we've been

able to stay in our little bubble.

No brothers.

No jealous ex-boyfriends

and no interruptions.

(phone ringing)

(beep)

(light knocking)

- Hey Court, what's with the doom and gloom?

- I've been trying to tell Andie

that I'm rushing Theta Iota Theta.

- Court, I don't know.

I know firsthand how gnarly Greek life can get.

- You love being in a frat.

- Well sure now but when I pledged,

my brothers made me prove that I could

boner it while watching All About Schmidt.

- I can handle that, Jack Nicholson is my jelly jam.

Ooh, plus they're going to Beach Island for winter break.

If I get a bid, I get to go.

- Sororities are way worse than fraternities.

Why do you even want to rush?

- Justie, I really need your support on this.

I mean Andie's been MIA and I'm MMA, "Missing My Andie!"

- Oh. - I could really use some new friends

and I've always wanted more blood sisses.

- Are you trying Andie again? - No, Dakota.

Maybe he's heard from our girl.

- Did you hear who Dakota hooked up with?

- Every student in the entire school.

- Yes, I heard he banged his teacher.

- It was Dakota and Mr. Zapp in

the chemistry lab with the Bunsen burner.

- What was that?

Eh, it's not worth it.

- I Am Legend ain't just a Will Smith movie, okay?

- [Slacks] Reminder, the Math League

Pep Rally are held at 1:30 on the quad today.

- I'm loving this new look on Brayer.

When did this happen?

- Probably while we were doing this.

- Well consider me shocked emoji.

I mean if I knew putting my brother in ISS meant football

would be on the outs and supportive sweethearts on the in,

I would've got caught in my lingerie years ago.

- You would've been 11 so I'm pretty sure

for everyone's sake I'm glad that you didn't.

(bell rings)

I don't want you to go in, I'm gonna miss you too much.

- No, I'm gonna miss you too much.

- No, I'm gonna miss you. - No, I'm gonna miss you.

- No. - Why don't you play hooky?

Who needs math?

What do you say, rebel? Ditch city?

- Population us.

- How we doin' in here?

Alec, come on, bud.

Buddy, Budzif.

I can't bear seeing you like this.

I should have never turned you kids in at Homecoming.

If I had known the butterfly effect,

I would've never un-cocooned.

So you gonna pick that up, my pal?

- I'm surprised I moved that quickly.

I haven't played ball in so long,

I forgot I'd be flexible enough to bend down.

- You still got it, look, catch.

- Sorry. - Ow.

- [Girsten] That is bleak.

- This is totally my bad.

If I had just tightened Josh's leash earlier,

none of what went down at HC would've ever happened.

Girsten, I'm just too (bleep) nice.

- It's, like, totally snowballed.

You got Alec, Josh, and Kent

suspended from the team and now they blow.

The frickin' marching band took over the field.

- You know what Girsten, those tuba-pushers

can keep it because it was totally worth it.

Some people deserve to be miserable.

- If we're gonna meet in your skank-ass dorm room

at lunch, the least you could do is light a candle.

It smells like someone up and found Dory in here.

- Just keep swimming.

- You know I'm banned from Brayer.

- Sorry I'm late, I was preoccupied.

- It seems like you're late a lot.

- At least it's not my period.

- Andie, now that you're here, finally,

I can tell you that my legend status has been--

- (phone beeps) - Thank you, Australia!

Look at him!

- I swear, you're allergic to paying me attention.

- Blood sis, I have big news.

I am rushing a sor-- - Ooh, speaking of rushing.

I gotta jet, I made plans with Kent.

I'd love to stay but I promised him.

I hate this so much, bye.

- Gang, we have a prob.

- Thank you, Christopher Columbus. What a profound discovery.

- I'm Mayflowered.

- I have seen this 100 times before,

it is textbook first relationship, you know?

You get wrapped up in the guy

and you just ignore your friends.

I haven't gotten a text response in days.

- No DMs for 12 PMs. - Andie never answers.

- Desperate times call for desperate people.

Imogen, Dakota dial.

- [Operator] The phone number you're trying to reach--

- I told you.

Homeschool is off limits. We tried this already.

- I'm just struggling to believe that she's really gone.

- I'll never gone. - Ah, I know.

Well, best of luck to her. - Who gives a (bleep)?

We need to focus on the friend that didn't abandon ship.

So what's the plan?

- I was thinking...

(whispering)

(gasps)

- Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper.

- Okay, you're gonna need some assistance.

- Yes, Court, you're really killing it.

- [Courtney] And that's it.

- [Everyone] Intervention!

- I can't wait to not have to get busy in a closet.

- Well there goes all our winter break plans for me.

I'm kidding.

Picture

candles and a bike ride to a picnic.

I even made swanky reservations at the Blooming Onion itself.

- God, you know-- - Intervention one.

"Keep what was once important

at the top of your priority list.

This will keep you busy

and distance makes the heart grow fonder."

My distance is zero. - I think I catch your drift.

- Wait, wait, where are you-- - Class.

- There's nothing else written on my hand.

(skidding)

"It's time for you to pause necking and stop neglecting

the Foursome."

Probably not important.

(anxious electronic tones)

- Miss Fixler! - (sighs)

At the beginning of class when I see you're not here,

I celebrate internally and then you come in late.

It's like you do it on purpose so you can see my spirit die.

Well,

take a look.

- I feel like this is an inappropriate

distance for a teacher-student--

Oh, my God. I see it.

- Get in your group seat for CPR.

- I've been absent a lot,

do you mind reminding me where that is?

- We're practicing CPR,

the person sitting next to you is your partner

as you learn this life saving technique from 1952.

- So should we?

- Yeah, whatever.

- Look, Josh-- dude, you're pinned.

You're forced to listen to me.

I've been trying to talk to you for two months

and if this is the only time you'll listen, I'm taking it.

- That's funny because I've been right here

and you've been a little preoccupied.

- You can't punish me for being

with someone who wanted to be with me.

I wanted it to be you but-- - I screwed up, I know.

Trust me, I know.

- It feels like all we've ever done is just hurt each other.

- Is that right? - Yeah.

We've never really been friends.

I've just been Alec's little sister and you've been,

you know, my brother's friend I've had a crush on.

- Andie that's ridiculous, we were friends.

- Neither of us were honest with each other.

That's not friendship.

Can we just start over?

I hate Selena Gomez but I am seriously

sick of the same old song, aren't you?

- I mean yeah, it's not fun avoiding you in the halls.

It's really hard.

- I'm willing to put this in the past. I miss you.

- Okay but just to be clear, it's a little weird

that we're staring a friendship with you straddling me.

- I take it you're on board, then?

- I mean yeah, it's not like I'm a very

popular guy right now with football and Greer.

(hissing)

I'll take any friend I can get.

Go ahead.

- Hey.

- I missed you. - I know, it was torture.

- I gotta say, Mae was right,

distance makes the heart grow harder.

- I think she said fonder. - I stand by what I said.

- (boing) - Oh!

Whoa. Dude.

- [Mae] Andie misunderstood my hand.

She heard absence makes the heart grow fonder

and applied it to that guy she's licking.

- [Student] Whoa.

Hmm.

- Hello?

Are you gonna apologize, librarian loser?

- Librarians smell of books and are

the sexual fantasy of 42% of males.

So thanks for the compliment.

Besides, it is you who bumped into me.

- Do you know who you're talking to, Nancy Drew?

- Greer Ashton. You once had a snaggletooth.

You're a typical Sagittarius

and you're the girl who was just dumped for a sophomore.

- Pathetic. - (scoffs)

- Wha?

(record scratch)

- Intervention two.

In order to be a bomb ass bud, you gotta put yourself first.

- Why is everyone busting in here

giving us unsolicited advice? - Great question.

Dakota, what are you spewing about?

- Listen up, mall mannequin,

you shouldn't just be doing whatever your boo wants.

You're your own person and you should be wearing the pants.

- Listen, she doesn't do whatever I want.

- It's okay, Dakota's right.

I haven't been completely honest about what I want.

I was just afraid to tell you.

You seemed so into it and I didn't want to disappoint you.

- Give me a fair go.

- I-- I don't want to ride bikes.

See well, it hurts my butt.

- You know what, that's not the ride I care about.

- I, too, have failed. Courtney, you're our only hope.

God help us.

- I can't talk long, I'm in the middle of pledging.

You know, I don't know why peeps get so pissed over hazing.

It's been a cinch for me. - Good, now fall in, pledge.

- Don't worry, I've got a plan for blood sis.

Gather the troops and meet in my dorm in 30.

Oh, also can you bring some period blood, like a gallon?

- [Badge] Courtney,

pull down your pants and come near the fire.

- Way ahead of you, Badge.

- So where's Court?

She's the one who demanded that I be here.

- Ah, good. You're all here.

(gasps)

- Oh, I'm gonna be real with ya,

you went from an eight to a seven.

- Love it. - What's going on?

- With this? Oh, I'm pledging TIT and they dyed my hair,

which is perfect 'cause that's what's gonna fix your sitch.

Intervention three.

Always put your friends first, chicks before dicks,

hos before bros, Foursome before whoresome.

- This is my first Facebook-official relationship.

Can you blame me for wanting to spend time with him?

- I have a boyfriend and I am totally

happy to put him second all the time.

You guys always come first.

- Yeah but that feels a lot different because

you have clear boundary issues when it comes to us.

Plus you've been dating since you were four.

- (whispers) She was such a cute four.

- Wait a minute,

how is you becoming a brunette gonna fix my sitch?

- Yeah, I'm also curious.

- Theta Iota Theta gave me all their pledge

tickets 'cause they got nervous I was gonna

spill the beans about the hazing to Teen Loafer.

An all expenses paid trip to Beach Island,

the whitest beaches for the-- - Whitest people.

They gave you that because of a mop swap?

- Not 'cause of my hair, 'cause of this.

(retching)

- Yeah, I see why they gave you those.

- Makes sense, I'm in.

- I'm in.

- [Courtney] Blood sis?

- You know I would totally love to come with you

guys but I already made super solid plans with Kent.

You guys know I would be there for you, and obviously,

like, I want to come of course but I'm a woman of my word.

Thanks for understanding.

(typewriter clicking) (phone ringing)

- My darkroom is almost complete.

The best part about being a reporter is you can

take pictures of people when they're not looking.

- An entire room for the Bulletin.

I haven't been this excited since

I discovered staplers have a remover attached.

On that day, I really let loose.

- Think I can cover something other than obits this year?

I feel guilty waiting for someone to die.

- Shut up, Terry. - Shut up, Terry.

- Okay, I guess I'll just give you Stan's letter later.

- What? - What?

- I should be the one to read it,

I've been on the Bulletin the longest.

- No one wants to hear your high-pitched quacking

for the length of a letter.

- I could read it.

- Fine. - Fine.

- "Dear lackeys, as you're well aware,

I have used my ginormous brain to graduate early

and take the hard-hitting job of actual reporter for

none other than T... M... Z."

- Wow. - It's very reputable.

- "Even though I'm gone, I will not have my legacy destroyed.

Cuppa Bear's only suspended until after winter break."

- It's almost 3:15. Winter break is upon us.

What do we do, Stan? - Shh.

- "It is up to you to prove to Principal Slacks

that the Bulletin deserves this space.

Your mission, to follow the Foursome on their winter break.

Bring back dirt and get 'em banned forever. Are you with me?"

- Yes, master. - Yes, chief.

- "And now for the moment you've all been waiting for,

the person I am leaving in charge is...

- Divit." - Yes.

- "Go. Go to winter break, Destroy the Foursome.

Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

How long am I supposed to laugh for?

There's a ton of ha's.

"Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha."

- I deserved this.

I'll prove that I'm worthy of the promotion.

I will rise to the challenge.

- Kent. - Hey.

- I just want it to be winter break already.

Just me,

you and nothing else. - About that.

I was so excited to spend winter break with you

but I just found out that my cousins from Perth are in town.

We're really close.

I haven't seen them in a really long time,

so I kinda need to spend time with them over winter break.

- Oh.

- It'll only be for a few weeks though.

It'll fly by, I promise.

Remember how good one period apart was?

This is gonna be so much better.

- Yeah.

Yeah. No big D.

No big D, man.

I hope you have the best time with your

(Australian accent) aboriginal mates.

- Why are you talking like that? Are you okay with this?

Because if you're not,

I can ask them if they want to split the time.

(relaxed guitar music)

- No.

Go spend time with your family.

We'll make up for it later.

- How about now?

- Right now. - Right now.

You read my mind.

- Just givin' it the old John H.

Hancock, he invented the...

It doesn't matter.

So are you excited that winter break starts tomorrow?

- I don't feel anything anymore.

- Ah, it'll come back to ya.

Especially now since you're off the hook with ISS, huh?

- Now it's nothing but maxing, relaxing,

saxing, you play?

- I don't play anything anymore.

- Okay well,

oh, I gotta get my wrist checked out.

All right so be sure to take care of, you know that thing.

Shaw.

- Gang, great news.

I've decided to join you guys on your epic beach vacay.

- He blew you off, huh? - Kent had plans, right?

- I don't know. - Okay, yeah.

But I'm still super stoked

to soak up some rays with my bae's.

- Get over here, two-timer.

We wouldn't be complete without you.

- Everything is perfect now that we're all together.

Foursome, winter break edition!

(cheering)

(upbeat guitar music)

- [Divit] Have a productive time off, peers of Brayer.

See you after winter break.

- Winter break, here I come!

Oh, hey, Bob. I thought you left.

Guys this should really be shut, come on now.

They're trophies.

(clears throat)

Key Grammar Structures

• I'm going back to home school.

  ➔ Present continuous for future arrangement

  ➔ The use of 'going to' is a common way to express future plans, but the present continuous ('I am going...') can also be used, especially for arrangements that are already made. The phrase indicates a definite plan to return to homeschooling. The verb 'going' is used as an auxiliary verb to form the future continuous tense.

• Courtney Todd, you are banned from all Brayer High School events and property.

  ➔ Passive Voice

  ➔ The sentence uses the passive voice ('you are banned'). The focus is on *Courtney Todd* receiving the action (being banned) rather than on who is doing the banning. The active form would be 'Someone bans Courtney Todd...', but the passive is more formal and emphasizes the consequence.

• Remember Brayer, the school where cool was defined by lettermans and being the bomb was based on how hard you shook your poms?

  ➔ Past Tense & Relative Clauses

  ➔ The sentence uses the past tense ('was defined', 'was based') to describe a past state of Brayer High. It also contains a complex relative clause ('where cool was defined...') modifying 'Brayer'. The use of 'how hard you shook your poms' is an indirect question functioning as part of the relative clause.

• Well, not everyone.

  ➔ Negative Determiner

  ➔ The use of 'not everyone' is a negative determiner. It indicates that the statement that follows applies to some people, but not all. It's a concise way to introduce an exception to a general statement.
