00:03So, can you tell me why you made fun of Christine in the first place?
00:07He was mad at her for making him look like a jerk.
00:09And how do you feel about that, Tucker?
00:11I was not mad. I was just having fun.
00:15Ha! You were totally crushed.
00:21Bet you can't hit me.
00:22Ha ha ha!
00:28You threw like a girl!
00:34Right?
00:38Did she throw like a girl?
00:40That's not a girl. That's Christine!
00:48She didn't have to shove.
00:55That's not...
00:58Oh, no, no, no.
01:06...
01:08That's what I'm gonna do.
01:09What?
01:09What?
01:10What?
01:10What?
01:11What?
01:11What?
01:20How?
01:40We now return to our program.
01:45All right, settle down in here.
01:47Let's settle, people.
01:48Well, it's that time of year again.
01:52Tomorrow we start special assignments.
01:56Espionage 101, knife parachute insertion, document photography.
02:02Oh.
02:03Sorry, that's my summer school course with the...
02:09If I told you, I'd have to kill you.
02:12That information's classified. Everything I say is classified.
02:14You ever wondered how close you got this job in junior high?
02:16Again, I told you.
02:17Besides being the vice-principal's brother?
02:20Nah.
02:21All right, boys.
02:22This term, you are going to be studying the ancient and manly art of wrestling.
02:29Miss Jennings will be working with the girls on rhythmic dancing.
02:33Not again.
02:34What a rip.
02:35Why can't we wrestle?
02:36Girls?
02:37You have a problem with this?
02:39Nope.
02:40Yeah.
02:42Christine wants to wrestle.
02:44And miss out on those neat-colored ribbons?
02:48Girls dance.
02:50Boys wrestle.
02:52That's the rule.
02:54Well, can't she choose?
02:55She can choose the color of her ribbons.
03:00Hold it down over there.
03:03Here's the deal.
03:05In our school, we got real problems, like empty vending machines.
03:09But some girls think it's important to invade wrestling class.
03:13What next?
03:14Girls in the showers?
03:15Co-ed bathrooms?
03:17It starts off with these little things.
03:19When the next thing you know, everything you thought you could count on is turned into anarchy.
03:26You don't even know what anarchy means.
03:36What's the big deal about rhythmic dancing?
03:38It's so stupid that they force us to do it.
03:40It's like there's a stupid rule for every occasion.
03:43Yeah, like in English class today, I before E accept that for C.
03:50This is important.
03:51Christine's saying, I'm a girl, and I can make my own decisions.
03:56No, I'm not.
03:57I'm saying, I'm a girl, and I want to wrestle.
03:59Right.
03:59And we all have to support her.
04:01This is a petition.
04:03This is treading dangerously close to NGI.
04:08Not of general interest.
04:13It's of interest to Christine, Carrie.
04:15And she's my friend.
04:19Hello?
04:21Excuse me.
04:32Last year, we did a petition to get a canning machine in the cafeteria.
04:36And we got it because we stuck together.
04:39So what?
04:40It's always empty.
04:41Let's do a petition for that.
04:43And what about the basketballs?
04:45Why can't we sign them out overnight?
04:47The lockers.
04:48They smell like dirty socks no matter what.
04:50Yeah, and the water fountain's always jammed with big wads of gum.
04:54Hey, this is serious.
04:56Our freedom of choice is on the line.
04:58Christine should be able to wrestle if she wants to.
05:00And this isn't just a girl thing or a wrestling thing.
05:07Equality affects everything and everyone.
05:11Wrestling class turns into a freedom of choice thing, then a full-blown riot.
05:17I rest my case.
05:18I hope she never goes to prison.
05:20Danny! Danny! Danny! Danny! Danny! Danny! Danny!
05:35Wait!
05:45Party speech ends in a food fight.
05:50This is awesome. Fifty names on the petition.
05:53Cool.
05:59So, you think you can wrestle, huh?
06:04Well, I want to try.
06:07Will you sign?
06:12You've picked your sister, aren't you?
06:14Yep.
06:16Okay. Okay, I'll sign. You guys, you sign too.
06:27Someone better tell him you hold the pointy end away from you.
06:31Yeah, I'll run right over and do that.
06:33Yeah.
06:39What?
06:40What's that behind your back?
06:41It's, it's nothing.
06:44What?
06:44Whatever do you mean?
06:52What do you mean?
06:53As an essential part of our active young lifestyle, we, the undersigned, demand the vending machines to be fully stocked
07:00at all times with the candy of our choice.
07:02What's this supposed to be and don't say funny?
07:05Oh, it's no joke.
07:06Yeah, it's the constitution.
07:08Like you said, Becca, freedom of choice runs beyond just wrestling. I mean, dipso factoe plurbiose on.
07:16Um, since you're suddenly so keen on freedom of choice, why don't you choose to grow up?
07:27She said for you to grow up, Tucker.
07:30Grow up.
07:39Joey Rizzo? The linebacker?
07:43Well, all the students believe in freedom of choice, not just the girls.
07:49He can write?
07:52Listen, uh, Christine, this isn't one of those, you know, equal rights things, is it?
07:57Oh, no, just wrestling.
08:02Okay, the girl wrestles, but on one condition.
08:07She needs a partner of, uh, similar gender.
08:13Hey, partner.
08:15Oh, no.
08:17Come on.
08:18No.
08:19You have to.
08:21No.
08:23Absolutely not.
08:29Come on.
08:31No one gets hurt in wrestling.
08:34Well, not seriously.
08:37All right, I want you to keep your head up and your arms close. Otherwise...
08:41All right, now, be alert, be alert.
08:43I want you to widen your base.
08:45Now, Surge, spin up around behind me.
08:48Well, Surge, Tucker.
08:49Oh, man.
08:51Just a little?
08:52How about a Surgeat?
08:54Right.
08:56Surge and spin.
08:58Spin, spin, spin.
09:00I think he's gonna explode.
09:03Now, should your opponent make the fatal mistake of stagnation, no problem.
09:08Reach across, reverse your hips.
09:09You got yourself a far side cradle, mister.
09:11All right, I want you to pair off and get to it.
09:15Okay, man.
09:17Duh, people.
09:20Okay, are you sure you want to do this? Because we can stop right now.
09:23We made our point.
09:25My point is I want to wrestle.
09:28Okay, but you know rhythmics class?
09:31Those ribbons can be a lot of fun.
09:37Nobody gets hurt. Why do they make you wear a helmet?
09:40It's not a helmet. It's headgear.
09:44Are you ready?
09:45Um, guess so.
09:49Ah!
09:51Are you okay?
09:53Uh, yeah.
09:54Let's just switch positions.
09:59Oh, what are you doing? You're cheating!
10:04Ow!
10:06Rebecca, tell me you don't miss dance class.
10:09Yeah.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Hey, Christine's good.
10:11She, uh, keeps her shoulders square and she, uh, shifts her weight through.
10:16If you had one of those ribbons now, you could use this as a bandage.
10:22Right, Coach?
10:23I don't know, Tucker.
10:24But while you were mouthing off, she was showing a lot of fight.
10:27Why, a couple more like her and we might be city champs.
10:32I can see it now.
10:34Rhythmic dancers wrap up competition with ribbons!
10:38Well, if you're so interested in ribbons, mister, how about you reconnoiter dance class and report back to me in
10:44two weeks?
10:45Coach.
10:48Dismissed!
10:50Double time!
10:50Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut.
10:53Hut!
10:56Do you not walk anymore?
10:59Ah!
11:01Hey!
11:03Turn to our program.
11:07If I had known Coach was so sensitive, I would have never made those remarks about Christine.
11:15Well, not in front of him anyway.
11:18Girls in wrestling class and guys in rhythmics.
11:23It's like a freak of nature or something.
11:30Tucker!
11:31Gently, Tucker.
11:32This is not kickboxing.
11:45Tucker!
11:47If you're not gonna take this seriously, you're gonna need some after-school practice.
12:08There's no way I can survive that class for two weeks.
12:11Lucky for Tina Smithers, you almost strangled her with your ribbon.
12:19Hey, here's our little ballerina.
12:21Yeah, we, uh, chipped in and bought you something.
12:25You don't use pom-poms.
12:27You use ribbons.
12:29Hey, one class and he's already learning the finer points of the sport.
12:33Watch out, Baryshnikov.
12:34I gotta cough.
12:38I'm okay.
12:39I just, I need to sit down.
12:41Or maybe lie down.
12:43Maybe get a body transplant.
12:45Becca can't wrestle anymore.
12:47No, no, I'm okay.
12:48I can.
12:49Trust me, you can't wrestle.
12:52Hey Tucker, do you wanna be my partner?
12:54Please wrestle you?
12:55You're a girl!
12:57Come on, I'd rather partner with someone I know.
12:59Yeah, maybe you can skip class.
13:01Plus it, uh, be like parole.
13:03What's wrong, Tucker?
13:05Are you scared?
13:06Christine, I, I'd really like to help you out, but, but you heard what Coach said.
13:12I've binged for two whole weeks.
13:18What about Miles?
13:19He was just commenting on your, uh, your form.
13:23Miles, why don't you help out your friend Christine, huh?
13:25Sure.
13:28Miles?
13:31What?
13:34So, Tucker, you were afraid of Christine and sacrificed your friend.
13:38I never thought he'd say yes.
13:41But you set him up.
13:44I was only kidding.
13:45I didn't think he'd be that stupid to say yes.
14:01Miles!
14:03Why did you agree to be Christine's partner?
14:05What were you thinking?
14:07Look, it's no big deal.
14:08It's just a workout in class.
14:10If she pins you, it won't be a big deal either, will it?
14:13Yeah, Tucker, and if dogs had lips, they could play the tuba.
14:17You do kind of have dog lips, Tucker.
14:20Don't you have some demonstration to be leading somewhere?
14:23I've got one word for you.
14:24Don't lose.
14:27That's, uh, that's two words, Tucker.
14:29Well, here's some more.
14:30Shame.
14:32Disgrace.
14:33Exile.
14:33You lose every guy and this school loses.
14:37Ooh.
14:38Tucker's afraid Christine's gonna humiliate Miles, too.
14:41Yeah, right.
14:43I suggest you put your money where your ribbons are.
14:45Would that be a challenge?
14:47Would that be you whipping out?
14:49The readers of the school paper know that a challenge requires stakes for each side.
14:53Like when the Mayans lost at soccer, they got their heads chopped off.
14:57Fine. Christine loses, we chop off her head.
15:00I mean, she drops wrestling.
15:03Fine.
15:04And when Christine wins, Tucker does a rhythmic solo in front of the entire...
15:13Fine.
15:20So, where would you like me to take the pictures?
15:23Um, in the gym or at your locker?
15:25Pictures?
15:26Yeah.
15:27No way. This has gone too far.
15:29But without pictures, this story will be dead by tomorrow.
15:33Exactly. I quit.
15:37Christine!
15:38Forget it.
15:45We now return to our program.
16:00So?
16:01Don't worry, I'm not gonna quit.
16:03Great.
16:05Yeah? Well, I'm gonna lose.
16:07What?
16:08That way I'm not a quitter.
16:10And I'm not some kind of Amazon freak.
16:12Which is what everyone will say if I win.
16:15And who knows what they'll say to Miles if he loses to a girl.
16:19Forget Miles, Christine.
16:22Look, I refuse to let those guys make you feel bad about being good.
16:28Now, come on.
16:34Tucker, do you wanna...
16:36Miles, we have to keep going.
16:38Do you realize how important it is for us to win this fight?
16:42Yeah, I suppose so.
16:43If you lose, the humiliation will kill your entire family.
16:48Yeah, not to mention you.
16:57I can be a regular girl or I can be the thyroid monster.
17:01Where does it say that boys are better than girls at wrestling?
17:05Have you ever seen a wrestling match on TV?
17:07There aren't many girls.
17:10Well, so boys wrestle more.
17:11That doesn't make you unusual.
17:14It does to everybody else.
17:16Would you forget everybody else?
17:18The important thing is that we win.
17:22It's not we, Becca.
17:24It's me.
17:25I'm gonna be out there all alone.
17:35Hello, school board.
17:36This could be a problem.
17:39Oh, man.
17:40It's not fair.
17:41I do a good wrestling move and I'm a perv.
17:44All I can do is tackle her at the ankles.
17:47At this point, that'd be a pretty good strategy.
17:49You know what? Why bother?
17:51I mean, if I win, I was supposed to.
17:53If I lose, I'm just a bozo.
18:02Self-defense for women?
18:04Yeah. They were all out of wrestling books.
18:07Oh, look.
18:08If he comes at me with the knife, I'll be ready.
18:13Look.
18:20Oh, whoa. That's all the fun I'm going to allow for today.
18:28Um, so you gonna be able to come tomorrow?
18:33Yeah.
18:34Um, if Miss Jennings doesn't keep me after class to limba up.
18:39What's that like, anyway?
18:42Well, 26 girls.
18:45One guy.
18:47You do the math.
19:08What are you guys doing out here?
19:10Did I miss it? Who won?
19:11Nobody won.
19:12A tie?
19:13We didn't wrestle.
19:14Coach wouldn't let Christine wrestle a boy.
19:17Yeah, and we were both so pumped.
19:20Oh, yeah. Of course.
19:22Hold that thought.
19:25Is your chump friend ready?
19:28You got an ambulance standing by?
19:30Ready?
19:32Uh, you want one of us to say go?
19:33No!
19:36Okay, hold that post!
19:38Go!
19:38Go!
19:39Go!
19:40Go.
19:41Go!
19:43Go!
19:43Go!
19:54All right.
19:56Go!
19:56Well, well, well, isn't that interesting?
19:59Go jump.
20:06Oh yes.
20:08Are you sure?
20:09We don't want to lose two in a row.
20:12Rematch.
20:13All right, that's fair.
20:14One more shot, all right?
20:15Uh, no.
20:16We won fair and square.
20:18Christine, you're out of wrestling.
20:21Miles, what are you doing?
20:22We won.
20:23Stop!
20:24We're wrestling under protest.
20:25There's no protest in wrestling.
20:27Oh, how would you know Miss Chopper and Mindy Adam's apple?
20:39Christine, I knew you could do it.
20:41That did not count.
20:42That was a pretty good move.
20:43Where'd you learn that?
20:44Coach Petrowski.
20:45He pinned Tucker that way.
20:48Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
20:52That's what good coaching can do.
20:53Oh, please, like you had anything to do with it.
20:56Hey, you want to get out of here?
20:58Definitely.
20:59Where are you going?
21:02Well, he's chicken.
21:03She was obviously hitting her stride.
21:05Miles, wait.
21:06Hey, you guys, wait, what about my story?
21:09You want to make up an ending?
21:14So, you finished that science homework yet?
21:19No, not yet.
21:20Chapter three's a killer.
21:30See, it's like this.
21:32Some people start trends, and other people are content to follow them.
21:40And you can quote me on that.
21:47One, two, three, and four, that's it.
21:50Use the wrist.
21:52Very nice.
21:53Very nice.
21:54Very nice.
21:54Keep your head up.
21:57Very nice.
21:58Good.
21:59Oh, beautiful.
22:00Very nice.
22:00That's it.
22:01Think regal.
22:02That's it.
22:03Keep your heads up.
22:07Perfect.
22:07Oh, lovely.
22:08Just lovely.
22:09Good.
22:10Think regal.
22:11Think your center.
22:13There you go.
22:14Think.
22:16Think of something.
22:17There you go.
22:28It's big laughs when Rick Moranis stars as the eccentric inventor who accidentally causes
22:33his two-year-old to grow 50 feet tall in Disney's Honey I Blew Up the Kid.
22:38Then tomorrow, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, plus the voices of Danny DeVito and Diane Keaton
22:45star in this holiday's favorite movie, the network premiere of Look Who's Talking Now
22:51on the ABC movie special.
22:53Well, it's finally here.
22:55The Velveteen Rabbit is coming your way on the ABC weekend special next.
23:01It's all about it.
