Short filmTranscript
00:00Something tells me I've been dreaming of someone who was never real
00:15It seems I've changed a thousand ways I wish I'd look the way I feel
00:22Break me, my life gets complicated
00:26Boyfriend, don't wanna talk about it
00:30Teenage, I'll work it out in the end
00:35Break me, my life gets complicated
00:52Boyfriend, don't wanna talk about it
00:56Teenage, I'll work it out in the end
00:59Break me
01:00This is the day my life went from good, to better, to best, to worst
01:11Confused? You'll understand in a minute
01:14Let's start here
01:15I'm Sharon Spitz, and this is my school
01:18Yeah?
01:20These are my comrades
01:23And there I am
01:26So, anybody get a date for the dance and not tell me?
01:30I'd ask someone, but I can't dance
01:33It's true, he can't
01:35I've known Connor since we were in diapers
01:38He wore cloth, cause he was allergic to the other kind
01:42The kind I was wearing
01:43He's put up with me ever since
01:46Wait a minute, Connor
01:49You can't dance, or you won't dance
01:51Uh, a little of both
01:53I'm still waiting for Alden Jones to ask me
01:56You know, I don't get it
01:57You have a mouth, don't you?
01:59You should use it
02:00What's with you two anyway?
02:01Your combined passivity is so not inspiring
02:03Maria Wong
02:04She's always telling it like it is
02:07Which is sometimes bad, but mostly good
02:09On top of that, she's got guts
02:11She parachutes
02:14Hella skis
02:15Rock climbs
02:17You name it, she'll do it
02:19And drag me along, too
02:21That's Nina Harper
02:26My least favorite person in the entire wide universe
02:30She's mean and snobby with her perfectly fake red hair
02:34And, well, I don't want to stink to her level here
02:36But believe it or not, we were friends up until grade two
02:38When she was still a brunette
02:40But then someone mysteriously chopped off all her dolls' heads
02:48And she blamed me
02:50Darren, how could you?
02:53How could you?
02:54It didn't matter that I was innocent
02:56She never forgave me
02:59Alden Jones
03:03In person
03:05Oh, it looks like Alden's finally going to ask me to dance on Saturday
03:10Can I borrow your lip gloss?
03:17Hi
03:18Huh?
03:20Does it sound better hyphenated?
03:26Mrs. Sharon Spitz-Jones
03:28Or is hyphenating too clunky?
03:31Hey!
03:32I know
03:32What about Dr. Sharon and Dr. Alden Jones?
03:36That's good, right?
03:37Of course, that's assuming he passes his boards
03:39Hi
03:40Mind if I join you?
03:41So, uh, I was thinking
03:45The disco decorations are supposed to be really cool on Saturday
03:49I thought maybe you'd want to see it
03:52With me
03:53At the dance
03:54When I'm old and look back on my life
03:58This is definitely going to be up there with my most super thrilling moments
04:01Oh, yeah, woohoo, who's the coolest? That's right, that's me
04:15Uh-huh, oh, yeah, oh!
04:16Oh, yeah, I'm in, I win
04:19Sharon! Did you fall off your bed again?
04:23That's my mom, the therapist
04:25Means well, love her dearly, doesn't get it
04:29I knew something was up the second she walked in
04:32She had that fake cheery smile on
04:35The one she always wears when she's about to employ reverse psychology
04:38Honey, great news
04:40Remember when we signed you up for braces in sixth grade
04:43To fix your whole wisdom teeth situation?
04:46Well, Dr. Hertz's office finally called
04:49They have an opening today
04:50No way!
04:52Don't worry, honey
04:53It's only for a couple of years
04:55Years, years, years, years, years
05:08Okay, princess, ready to rock and roll?
05:17Okay, princess, you gotta try to keep that tongue out of my way
05:20No biting
05:22Why is my mouth so hot?
05:36It's just a power out
05:38Ready to see your beautiful brackets?
05:41Do I have to?
05:44Just wait till you get the headgear
05:47Adam, what are you doing?
05:56You were in my way and I'm hungry
05:58We just ate
05:59I got a big meat tomorrow
06:01I can't wrestle on an empty stomach
06:02Honey, I've got three children to feed
06:05Oh, sis
06:08Sorry about the way you look
06:10That's Adam, my brother
06:12I'm sorry about the way he looks
06:14Just so you know
06:15He recently had a growth spurt
06:17He wasn't born like that
06:18I can't go out with Alden looking like this
06:24I can't go out with Alden looking like this
06:25Why?
06:26Why?
06:27Why?
06:28Why?
06:29Why?
06:30Why?
06:31Why?
06:32Why?
06:33Why?
06:34Why?
06:35Why?
06:36Why?
06:37Why?
06:38Why?
06:39Why?
06:40Why?
06:41Why?
06:42Why?
06:43Why?
06:44Why?
06:45Offer some grout pies on?
06:49Adam?
06:50Ah, bro, I'm craving carbs.
06:53We had salmon for dinner.
06:54Oh, man, so not enough.
06:57Hello?
06:58Adam, can you hear me?
07:01When can you meet?
07:02Now, bro.
07:03Fry hut.
07:04Bro.
07:07Mom!
07:10Mom, my braces!
07:11I heard some noise, and all of a sudden I could hear Adam on the phone
07:14with one of his friends.
07:16Was your phone off the hook?
07:17No!
07:18Adam and Tony are meeting at the fry hut.
07:20But we just had dinner.
07:22Mom, I said I think I'm hearing people talking in my mouth.
07:26My mouth!
07:27Here, why don't you sit down and free your mind of those tight,
07:32confining braces.
07:35Hm.
07:36First visit free of charge.
07:40Maria, there you are.
07:42Guess what?
07:42I decided I'm going to the dance this weekend.
07:45Last night I had this nightmare that I was really old,
07:48like almost 20,
07:49and I'd never been to a school dance.
07:51Cut to the chase, please.
07:53Could you teach me a few moves?
07:55I don't do dances.
07:57Please?
07:59Okay, it all starts with a rocking motion.
08:02Back and forth.
08:04Back and forth.
08:05Sharon?
08:17Sharon?
08:19Mama Mia!
08:22Too bad it couldn't wait till tomorrow.
08:25What difference would it make?
08:27Today's picture day.
08:29Ouch!
08:35What are you doing?
08:37Nothing.
08:39Nothing.
08:40I'm okay.
08:48Oh, hi.
08:51What's wrong?
08:52Uh, I just, never mind.
08:57Oh, my God.
08:59Sharon Spitz got braces?
09:00Do they hurt?
09:02Yeah.
09:03They really hurt.
09:05Ugh, I just hate pain.
09:08Well then, you're lucky you don't need them.
09:10I know.
09:10I'm lucky about a lot of things.
09:13Um, has Alden seen them yet?
09:15No, why?
09:16I just hope that he'll still go to the dance with you.
09:19I mean, you know how picky guys can be.
09:21See ya.
09:30Sharon, hey.
09:33Ready to face the camera?
09:35Mm-hmm.
09:35Cool.
09:37Hey, are you all right?
09:39Mm-hmm.
09:40So, we still doing the dance thing Saturday night?
09:44Great.
09:46Uh, I guess I'll pick you up at your house around 7.30?
09:50I can't wait.
09:59Don't forget my brow.
10:01Next.
10:06A frown is just a smile turned upside down.
10:10Come on, let's see your real smile, huh?
10:12That's all you got for me, beautiful.
10:15Come on, I know you can do better.
10:17Say cheese ball.
10:19Huh?
10:20I'm waiting.
10:22Tick tock, tick tock.
10:24Hmm?
10:25I might just have to bring out Smiley the Puppet to cheer you up.
10:28Hmm?
10:32You broke my camera.
10:37Good one, brace face.
10:39Brace face.
10:40Dr. Hertz, I really need to talk to you.
10:44Do you have an appointment?
10:45It's an emergency.
10:47Okay, well, this better be good.
10:49We've got to get these things off.
10:51Strange things have been happening.
10:53Yesterday, I heard people talking from inside my mouth.
10:57I'm afraid you're going to have to see another doctor for that.
11:00Isn't your mother in that line of business?
11:03But you don't understand.
11:05Okay, well, I'll see you in a couple of weeks for your tightening.
11:08Uh...
11:09Oh...
11:10Connor, I know this whole dance plan is supposed to save you from a future of loneliness,
11:23but, um...
11:24We could be making things worse.
11:30How about this?
11:32Keep working on it, Connor.
11:50I'll check in on you later.
11:51Make sure you're not wearing rayon.
12:00Oh!
12:04You think this is going to work?
12:06Well, it's just step one in plan A.
12:12What's plan A again?
12:14Get the guy.
12:15And plan B?
12:16Get the guy.
12:17Oh, you're so lucky, Nina.
12:20Alden is so adorable.
12:32You know, wearing braces is bad enough.
12:35We don't need your added negative attention.
12:41Brace face breaks camera?
12:43Yeah, well, listen, whiner boy.
12:45You should be happy you're getting any attention at all.
12:47No!
12:49We'll find out who did this, Sharon.
12:51Don't worry.
12:57Who has their poem memorized for today?
13:01Maria Wong?
13:03We haven't heard from you in a while.
13:08I'm nobody.
13:09Who are you?
13:11Are you nobody, too?
13:13Then there's a pair of us.
13:14Don't tell.
13:14Well, they'll advertise, you know.
13:17How dreary to be somebody.
13:20How public.
13:22Like a frog.
13:23To tell one's name.
13:24The live-log tune.
13:26To an admiring bog.
13:32Alden, it's Nina.
13:34Did I catch you at a bad time?
13:36It's okay.
13:38What's up, Nina?
13:39Well, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Alden, but Sharon can't go to the dance with you on Saturday.
13:46You do know she's got braces, right?
13:59No.
14:00I, uh, actually, I didn't know.
14:03Oh.
14:04I guess you didn't see the posters.
14:06Well, the poor thing is in so much pain.
14:08I saw her yesterday, and she was acting pretty weird.
14:12Nobody's weirder than Sharon, that's for sure.
14:15She was afraid to tell you the truth, but I told her not to worry.
14:19I'd be happy to go to the dance with you.
14:21It's the way she wants it.
14:25Hold on, Alden.
14:26Can't you see I'm busy?
14:28So, why don't you pick me up at, say, 7th?
14:35You know, before we do this, I need to call Sharon.
14:38Really, Alden, don't do that.
14:40She's too gruesome right now.
14:42She's got scabs all over her mouth, and she can barely speak.
14:47Scabs?
14:47You're right.
14:58I really don't want to go with her.
15:00What a nightmare.
15:02Nina's so not my type.
15:09Hey, what's going on?
15:11In the middle of my Emily Dickinson showpiece,
15:14you run away to the back of the room,
15:15proceed to yell out scabs, and then race out.
15:18Isn't there an etiquette rule out there that says...
15:20Stop it!
15:21You have no idea what's going on.
15:24You're right.
15:25Enlighten me.
15:26It wasn't the poem.
15:28Oh, so it was me.
15:31No, it was me.
15:32It was my braces.
15:33They're doing...
15:35They're making me do crazy things,
15:39and Nina's plotting to steal Alden away, and...
15:42Hey, slow down.
15:43Nina's always plotting, and braces are so everywhere.
15:45And Alden's got a thing for you.
15:49You think?
15:52If Maria was right, then Alden would ignore Nina's total lies and believe me.
15:58I mean, if a guy has a thing for you, it's worth exploring, don't you think?
16:03Hello?
16:06Alden?
16:06It's Sharon.
16:08Sharon Spitz.
16:09Oh.
16:10Hey.
16:11It's not what you think.
16:13First of all, I do not have scabs.
16:16Second of all...
16:17All I know is you want me to go to the dance with Nina, right?
16:21No.
16:22I never said that.
16:23I mean, unless that's what you want, because if it is, I could have it.
16:27Hello?
16:28Hello?
16:29Hello, Sharon?
16:30Hello?
16:31Hello?
16:32Hello, Sharon?
16:33Is this...
16:34Alden?
16:35Alden?
16:36Can't anything go right, Moshi.
16:42Well?
16:43Everything work out between you and Loverboy?
16:44It's over.
16:45No!
16:46Yes.
16:47Oh, you're not going to the dance with Alden?
16:50I'm not even going to the dance, period.
16:51Hey, that's my line.
16:52Whatever.
16:53Oh, good.
16:54That's good.
16:55Feel sorry for yourself?
16:56Have no fun for the rest of your braces sentence?
16:57In fact, you don't even deserve a friend like me who's giving you such sterling advice.
17:00I mean, you're a healthy, able-bodied girl who loves to dance, who's sub-popular, who...
17:05Stop!
17:06Oh, I'm just starting.
17:07I'll think about it, just so you'll shut up.
17:35Hey, you've reached Connor.
17:39Leave a message.
17:40Man.
17:41Con, what do you say?
17:44Saturday night, you, me, and the disco ball.
17:53Okay, here we go.
17:55Did you take your antihistamine?
17:56Yeah.
17:57Did you wash your hands?
17:59Sixteen times.
18:00Eye drops?
18:02Then you won't be needing those.
18:04Hey, wait up.
18:06You came.
18:07I thought you didn't do dances.
18:10You know, I always like a good challenge.
18:12Are we ready to shake our booties, girls?
18:15Yeah!
18:34Hey, what's in that antihistamine?
18:35Mind over matter!
18:36What's going on over there?
18:37It's just a couple of geeks trying to dance.
18:41Thanks to everyone who helped make boogying in an art.

19:06Disco queen goes to...
19:07Hey!
19:08Ah!
19:09Our very own and my best friend, Nina Harper!
19:10Thank you to all my peers for creating this dance.
19:11Thanks to everyone who helped make boogying in an autumn barnyard such a success.

19:32Thank you to all my peers for crowning me for the second year in a row.
19:37It never gets boring.
19:39And disco king goes to...
19:43Connor...
19:44Connor McKenzie!
19:47Yay!
19:48Ooh!
19:49Who picked him?
19:51Nice one, Connor!
19:52Yeah!
19:53Connor!
19:54Ooh, wait.
19:55What's that made of?
19:56Stop!
19:57Don't put it on.
19:58I'll break out in hives.
20:00And now the disco king and queen will share in a disco dance.
20:05Don't make me do this.
20:07I don't have to do this.
20:18You're here.
20:23No!
20:24All...
20:25All...
20:26Dead!
20:33It was a last resort, I know.
20:36But maybe these wacky braces could come in handy.
20:39Does anyone know how much this here costs me?
20:52Help! Help!
20:57Okay, so that didn't really happen, but wouldn't it have been so cool?
21:01I don't know what's going on with these races.
21:04I mean, one minute weird stuff is happening, the next it's not.
21:08Maybe Venus is in retrograde, or maybe it's the year of the dragon, or maybe things are just changing.
21:14My mother says it's puberty.
21:16I ask you this, is there anything more gross?
