00:00I was just an average kid until an accident changed my life, and since then nothing's been the same.
00:30My best friend Ray thinks it's cool. My sister Annie thinks I'm a science project. I can't let anyone else know, not even my parents.
00:50I know the chemical plant wants to find me and turn me into some experiment, but you know something? I guess I'm not so average anymore.
01:00I don't know which I hate more. English tests or math quizzes.
01:05I hate woodshop.
01:06Woodshop?
01:07Yeah, all that noise and dust. Like the world really needs another spice rack.
01:11You're not good at it, are you?
01:13Of course.
01:14Hey, Alex, Ray.
01:15Hey, what's up, man?
01:17Hi, Scott. So, woodshop, huh?
01:20Yeah, I love it. It's better than gym or lunch.
01:23Oh, I know. I love it, too. I'm just sorry I didn't get it this term.
01:27Scott, look what I made. Maybe your little friends would like to see it, too.
01:36Oh, no!
01:38Um, you know, next week I'm heading up the school woodshop club, doing the best I can to qualify as a nerd.
01:44Really? Maybe I'll join up. Scott, I need you.
01:49Yeah, I'll see you guys later.
01:51What? I have a week. Maybe I'll start liking it by then.
01:57Now make the blue one go higher?
02:07You're not concentrating.
02:10No, I'm not. I need to ask you something.
02:15I just wanted to know how you get a boyfriend.
02:18Well, I guess we entered a new phase in our relationship.
02:22It's no big deal. I'm just curious.
02:25Alex, Bryce is going to be here any minute. Let's finish the test first.
02:28Not bad.
02:38Okay, now tell me. How do you get a boyfriend? What's the secret?
02:43There's no secret. It just happens. You know, you're in the right place at the right time and he's there and you're there.
02:52Well, what if you know where he's going to be? Can you be there on purpose to make it the right time?
02:57Even if it means joining the after-school woodshop club?
03:00Woodshop? You hate woodshop.
03:03Alex, you're too young to be this desperate.
03:05I know, but you should never do something to impress some boy. Not even Scott.
03:09Never?
03:10Never?
03:11Never?
03:12Never?
03:13Never?
03:14Never?
03:15Never?
03:16Never.
03:17Never?
03:18Never.
03:19Never.
03:20Never.
03:21Never.
03:22Never.
03:23Never.
03:24Never.
03:25Never.
03:26Never.
03:27Absolutely not.
03:28Annie!
03:29Hi, Cynthia!
03:32That's...
03:34Compromising your principles.
03:36What principles?
03:38I have principles?
03:44Paradise Valley National Park?
03:46Great mountain climbing.
03:47Clean, crisp air, amazing views, and like 20 different kinds of poison ivy.
03:52I don't think there are 20 kinds.
03:54You don't really like mountain climbing, do you?
03:57I've never been, but climbing rocks and scaling cliffs sounds dangerous and itchy.
04:07I'm sorry to hear that. I've been wanting to check out this new trail and I was kind of hoping you'd like to come. It's really pretty safe. They got park rangers, safety equipment, calamine lotion.
04:19Gee, Annie, that sounds like it involves going outside. Venturing into a land without beakers and test tubes. It's really not her speed, Bryce.
04:27You think you know me so well.
04:29You could never do anything that strenuous.
04:32I'll bet Annie could do anything she sets her mind to. Anything she wants.
04:37Thank you. And I want to go mountain climbing.
04:40Great.
04:41Great.
04:42Saturday?
04:51Paradise Valley Air Fresno, huh? And Danielle Atron wants you to handle this account personally?
04:56I vowed I would never work with her again. She's so difficult. She's so picky. She's so...
05:02Here.
05:06Danielle! We were just talking about you. I see that you're handling our new air freshener account. Barbara?
05:12Well, I'm holding the folder. Yes, I'm handling it. Um, Danielle, I hope that this goes smoother than last time.
05:21Not to worry. I've already chosen the perfect spokesperson. She'll appear in all the television commercials and magazine ads.
05:27Ms. Atron has found someone all of America will love. She's warm, she's friendly, she's beautiful, she's charming.
05:35Wonderful. Who is she? Me.
05:53Hmm. Smells terrific.
05:55I wish you were doing the commercial.
05:57Mom? Dad? Uh, Bryce asked if I could go mountain climbing with him this weekend. It's okay, all right?
06:01Whoa, not so fast, Annie. Mountain climbing?
06:04Yeah. Like a hill, only bigger.
06:07And this is something that interests you?
06:09Yeah, I like to try new things.
06:10Well, it sounds a little dangerous to me.
06:12I'm sure Bryce wouldn't ask me if there was anything unsafe about it.
06:16I don't know.
06:17Come on, since when are you so worried about my safety anyway?
06:20You never said anything before when I handled nuclear waste or deadly viruses.
06:24You handled what?
06:26How dangerous can a little mountain climbing be?
06:28You handled what?
06:30Oh, Mom.
06:31Your father and I will discuss this.
06:33You let our daughter handle nuclear waste and deadly viruses?
06:37At the office, under controlled circumstances, with special equipment.
06:42I wish we had discussed this first, George.
06:45It was for science. For humanity.
06:47It'll never happen again, and mountain climbing is definitely out of the question. Right?
06:53Actually, I think it may be good for her. I trust Bryce, and you know, if Annie doesn't start getting outdoors, this might be the only pine scent she ever smells.
07:07Annie, we've decided.
07:14I talked it over with Mom and Dad, and I'm going mountain climbing with Bryce this weekend.
07:22Boy, the lengths will go just to impress that guy.
07:26Excuse me?
07:28Well, isn't this exactly what you told me not to do? That you shouldn't do something just to impress a guy?
07:35I mean, aren't you going mountain climbing just to impress Bryce?
07:41I don't need to impress him. I'm doing it because I think that it's important to try to share his interests.
07:47Same as he does for me.
07:49Same as he does for you?
07:51Mm-hmm.
07:52I don't see him drooling over computer projects or helping you set up DNA molecules.
07:57You're just doing this to make him like you better.
07:59You're doing something you don't even want to do. You're compromising your principles.
08:04Oh, you don't even know what you're talking about.
08:07Maybe, but it sounded good.
08:10I don't know what you're talking about.
08:33Woodworking and you, your life's just too exciting.
08:36Did you know that there's like a thousand different types of nails?
08:39Why can't people just glue things together?
08:41Hey, what's up, Ray?
08:43Hey, what's up, man?
08:44What's up, Alex?
08:45Morning, Bryce.
08:46Morning, sir.
08:47Something I need to ask you about.
08:48Mr. Mack, I can assure you that we'll be supervised by an experienced park ranger and using specially designed equipment.
08:54You have no reason whatsoever to worry about any safety.
08:57Is that what you wanted to ask me about?
08:59Uh, that. And are you sure you have enough gas in your car?
09:02Full tank.
09:03Well then, have a nice time.
09:04Okay.
09:05Hi.
09:06Hey.
09:07Look, gourmet sandwiches for four.
09:09Where are Mark and Elisa?
09:10You know, when I went to pick them up, I showed them the brochure with the picture of the mountain on it.
09:14And I think they're at the movies now.
09:16Some outdoor spirit, huh?
09:18Imagine that.
09:19We're not busy for lunch.
09:20Raymond, you have to climb a mountain to get one of these.
09:23Well, hey, you two want to come along?
09:24Yeah.
09:25Bryce!
09:26Ray, are you sure about this?
09:28Yeah, come on, Alex.
09:29It'll be cool.
09:30Annie.
09:31Well, all right.
09:32Alex?
09:33You don't want to go?
09:35Yes, I do.
09:36Well, hey, Mr. Mack, is it okay?
09:39Well, I'll check with Barbara.
09:41Great, now they'll call my dad.
09:43What?
09:44It'll be cool, Annie.
09:45Trust me.
09:46It'll be cool, Annie.
09:47Trust me.
09:48Wait till we're up on the north face.
09:50It's a perfect 360 degree view of all of Paradise Valley.
10:00Even the sewage plant, if that's your thing.
10:03Oh, joy.
10:04Wait till we're up on the north face.
10:09It's a perfect 360 degree view of all of Paradise Valley.
10:13Even the sewage plant, if that's your thing.
10:15Oh, joy.
10:17So, Bryce, do you ever do any science stuff with Annie?
10:24Yeah, once I found a mysterious object in an old sneaker under my bed,
10:28and I gave it to her to analyze, figure out what it was.
10:30A dust-covered peach.
10:32Ew.
10:33That's it?
10:34Well, yeah.
10:35I mean, Annie's the molecule of love, or not me.
10:40You're not even supposed to be here.
10:42Could you at least try to mind your own business?
10:44I'm just looking out for your best interest.
10:46You're my sister.
10:47It's my business.
10:48Alex.
10:49Annie.
10:50Check out the mountain.
10:51It's just a puny little hill.
10:52Yeah, it is.
10:53But we're climbing that one.
10:55Oh, I see you've got all the requisite safety equipment.
11:10Helmets.
11:11Harnesses.
11:12These things.
11:13Carabiners.
11:14Right.
11:15Carabiners.
11:16Come on.
11:17You know what these things are.
11:18You're just putting me on, right?
11:19Not really, but don't tell my boss.
11:21Do you need all this trail baits?
11:22Well, yeah, for stamina.
11:23And to leave a trail of crumbs in case we get lost.
11:24Good.
11:25Because you wouldn't want me to have to climb up and save you.
11:26No, we sure wouldn't.
11:27Hope it's not going to take a long time.
11:28It's a guy you see.
11:29Oh, I got a carabiners.
11:30You got a carabiners.
11:31You just got a carabiners.
11:32Carabiner.
11:33You're just putting me on, right?
11:34Yeah.
11:35Oh, I don't know.
11:36I got a carabiners.
11:37Right.
11:38Carabiners.
11:39It's a carabiners.
11:40Come on.
11:41You know what these things are.
11:42You're just putting me on, right?
11:43Not really, but don't tell my boss.
11:45Did you need all this trail baits?
11:46No, we sure wouldn't.
11:56Hope it's not going to take a lot of stamina to hike the hiking trail.
11:59Raymond.
12:00What?
12:01You want to climb that thing?
12:07The hiking trail, huh?
12:14We could do the hiking trail if you're having second thoughts.
12:21No.
12:22Uh-uh.
12:23It's time I learned the ropes.
12:26See you guys at the top.
12:35Ah, young love.
12:37Kind of, um, sickening.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Hope Annie's going to be okay.
12:43Did you bring any bug spray with him?
12:45Yeah.
12:46He'll be fine.
12:50It's the first time we've had tea together, isn't it?
12:57That I recall.
12:59Chamomile.
13:00It's my favorite.
13:06I'm so pleased.
13:08I love what you've done with the office.
13:09Really?
13:10I was still thinking it could be a little less cold, antiseptic, formal.
13:16I was thinking of maybe lightening it up a bit.
13:18Oh.
13:19Well, that would be easy.
13:21We could bring in some more flowers and put up some new drapes.
13:25You know, redo everything in chintz.
13:27A new carpet and definitely get rid of the couch and lose this high-tech desk.
13:31It's so 80s.
13:32What do you think?
13:33Listen, Barbara, I didn't hire you to be my girlfriend.
13:34Thank goodness.
13:35I hired you because I need you to come up with an excellent ad campaign.
13:38So give it to me straight.
13:39What do I need to do to make America love me?
13:40A makeover?
13:41No.
13:42No.
13:43No.
13:44No.
13:45No.
13:46No.
13:47No.
13:48No.
13:49No.
13:50No.
13:51No.
13:52No.
13:53No.
13:54No.
13:55No.
13:56No.
13:57No.
13:58No.
13:59No.
14:00No.
14:01No.
14:02No.
14:03No.
14:04No.
14:05No.
14:06No.
14:07No.
14:08No.
14:09No.
14:10No.
14:11No.
14:12No.
14:13No.
14:14No.
14:15No.
14:16No.
14:17No.
14:18No.
14:19No.
14:20No.
14:21No.
14:22No.
14:23No.
14:24No.
14:25No.
14:26No.
14:27No.
14:28No.
14:29No.
14:30No.
14:31No.
14:32No.
14:33No.
14:34No.
14:35No.
14:36They're supposed to do things they both like.
14:37Your sister shouldn't be up there.
14:40So you're saying I shouldn't join Woodshop?
14:43Oh, no, you should definitely do it.
14:45It'll be cool.
14:46Use your powers to float giant beams across the room,
14:49hammer them together while using your hands.
14:51You'd be the best.
14:53Probably still hate it.
14:57All right, come on, Annie.
14:58You've almost made it.
14:59This one's just a piece of cake.
15:01A piece of real stale cake.
15:03All right, I'll spot you.
15:05You ready?
15:06I guess.
15:07Okay, just put your foot right over the...
15:09Annie!
15:13Bryce, help me!
15:16Annie, don't worry.
15:19Annie, listen.
15:20You're not in any danger.
15:22I'm hanging from a cliff.
15:24No, no, you're not.
15:25You're hanging from a rope,
15:27and it's not going anywhere, and neither are you.
15:29What are you doing?
15:30I can't reach you.
15:31Just stay there, and I'm going to get help.
15:32No, no, no.
15:33Oh, no.
15:59Oh, hey!
16:30Ah, that's a yellow-bellied sapsucker.
16:35Really?
16:36Nah, I just like saying yellow-bellied sapsucker.
16:39Help!
16:40Help! Can anybody hear me?
16:43That sounds like Annie.
16:45Annie?
16:46Annie, where are you?
16:49Annie!
16:51Come on.
16:53Oh, how did I get into this?
17:02Hang on, we're coming.
17:04Oh my gosh.
17:06Annie, are you okay?
17:08Alex, does it look like I'm okay?
17:10Hang in there, alright?
17:12There's not much else I can do.
17:17Alex, you can't hear.
17:23Alex, what are you doing?
17:44What are you doing?
17:48I'm not really thirsty right now, Ray.
17:50Annie, it's not water.
17:52It's your sister.
17:53Alex?
17:59Hang on, Annie.
18:00Hang on!
18:11Okay, I'm gonna try and swing you to me.
18:15Come on, Alex.
18:18Come on, Annie, reach!
18:22Come on, Annie.
18:23Come on, Annie.
18:30Come on, Annie.
18:31We're so close!
18:41Don't tell me you were just admiring the view.
18:43I guess I got it over my head.
18:44I guess so.
18:45And now what do we do?
18:46Try, try again.
18:47Touch me.
18:48All right.
18:49All right.
18:50All right, Annie.
18:51All right, Annie.
18:52I present to you the new and improved, Miss.
18:54I present to you the new and improved, Miss.
18:58Danielle Atron.
18:59What do you think?
19:00What do you think?
19:01I think.
19:02I think.
19:04You look ridiculous.
19:07You look ridiculous.
19:08You look ridiculous.
19:12I think you look ridiculous.
19:13All right, Annie.
19:15All right, Annie.
19:16I present to you the new and improved Miss Danielle Atron.
19:26What do you think?
19:29I think you look ridiculous.
19:37But I have an idea.
19:41She's not in danger.
19:42She's real scared.
19:46Ooh, tuna fish.
19:50Yeah, I'd be afraid, too.
19:52Annie, how did you...
19:53Alex and Ray help me.
19:55Actually, Annie's quite the climber.
19:57No, no, I'm really not.
20:00Is that a chicken sandwich?
20:01Yeah.
20:04I hope they're not disappointed.
20:06That you didn't plunge to your death?
20:08No, no, I'm okay with that.
20:10Maybe next time you can just share my interest in bowling, okay?
20:14You like bowling?
20:14No, but we don't have to do this again.
20:19Yeah, but how are we going to get down?
20:21Oh, hiking trail.
20:24Hey, you joining us?
20:42No.
20:43I just came to say that I wasn't.
20:45See, well, I don't really like wood shop.
20:49Oh.
20:53Alex, are you joining wood shop?
20:55No, I just...
20:56Too bad.
20:57The more, the merrier.
21:00And it's so much fun making things.
21:03Well, I'm glad you enjoy it.
21:05I just couldn't pretend.
21:07See you inside.
21:09Sue.
21:10Yeah.
21:10If you hate wood shop, I guess I can't convince you otherwise.
21:15Definitely not.
21:17Well, I'm sure there's other things we have in common.
21:19Probably.
21:20Scott, I need you.
21:23I better go.
21:24All right.
21:24Alex, hurry up.
21:33It's almost on.
21:37Coming.
21:42You still up there reading about wood?
21:45No, I gave that up.
21:46What, did Scott drop out of wood shop?
21:48No, but you know how you were trying too hard to impress Bryce?
21:54Me?
21:55Whatever do you mean.
21:56We'll be back with the unreliable five-day forecast.
21:58Oh, oh, oh, it's coming up, it's coming up.
22:04Woo!
22:05What?
22:06Smells like a horn in here.
22:09Vince, on TV.
22:11What happened to Danielle?
22:13Oh, she was just trying a little too hard to get people to like her.
22:19New Paradise Valley air freshener.
22:21Available in Pine and new ExtraPod.
22:27That's more like it.
22:29What?
22:34Ha, ha, ha, ha.
