Wagstaff, something, something
Flagstaff...
So, basically, I'm hearing
"Wagstaff, fair Wagstaff,
your hallways shining bright." Nice.
Oh, did I say that?
Less what you said than the way you said it.
- Okay. - Keep going.
School things, people...
- Um... - Did I hear "Counselors,
steering students right"? You're in the zone.
I guess it helps to have someone else write stuff down.
Take a break, Sondheim.
- You're giving me writer's cramp. - Wow, that's so much.
- You wrote a terrific song. - Oh, my gosh.
- Um, what's this word? - Stalwart.
I didn't even know I knew that one. Damn, I'm good.
Where the sloppy Joes are hearty
Everyone has a hall pass and no one is tardy...
I'm still kind of working on the tune.
Wait. A couple hours ago you had no song,
and now you've got nine verses
and a soulful bridge?
Yeah, I mean, haven't you ever had something
corked up inside you and it comes out all at once?
I am going to say yes.
Well, some of the words are kind of wordy.
Yeah, I'm a word... um, lady person.
- Smith? - Who?
- Oh, I like that tune. Can I use it?
Where the sloppy Joes are hearty...
These newspapers look okay,
right? Like the bottom of a hamster cage but on a window?
- It's cozy. - Whoa. You guys read about this serial killer?
I mean, it makes us look a little abandoned.
Like, more than usual?
- No. - You're closing?
- I'm so sorry. - Nope, still open.
But the newspaper...
Yeah, but we wrote on it "Still Open."
I thought that was ironic.
Hi, I'm with Shore-to-Door Realty,
checking out the space.
So this used to be a restaurant?
Ooh, it's gonna need a lot of work.
That's it.
Wow, great light.
School
School, school...
Sonia Livadopolous, the Gomez twins Juan and Gus...
Uh, hey, Tammy, I noticed that your song with the names
of all the kids at school doesn't have my name.
It's hard to fit them all in, Jocelyn. Get an easier name.
I tried. It takes 30 days.
Listen up. The big contest is less than 24 hours away.
The A.V. club is setting up the sound system
in the gym as we speak.
Unsung heroes, those guys.
Buy them a milk at lunch if you get a chance.
Yes, our stalwart crew.
Stalwart. Where have we heard that word before?
I think Dad had a stalwart removed from his big toe.
No, Tina's song.
Remember, it's not too late to drop out.
I overheard some bullies talking about how writing
the school song isn't "cool" and then something
about a knuckle sandwich, so bear that in mind.
Hey, tell us about your songwriting, Tina.
Like, who are your influences?
There... uh, there's some Sheryl Crow.
- Mm. I hear it. - Counting Crows.
- Oh, yeah. Definitely. - Crow-sby, Stills & Nash.
'Cause you know who I'm hearing?
Philip Frond. In every line.
I mean, he gets a couple of shout-outs in it.
No, I'm saying you didn't write your song.
What? Maybe you're jealous, 'cause my song's about something.
Yours is about pee and poo and mine's about...
being punctual and respecting school property.
Leave me alone.
Wow. She even runs like Sheryl Crow.
Yes!
The buns are attracting seagulls.
Once they start pooping, shininess gone.
I'm glad you told us that really long story
about seagull poop on your truck, Teddy.
Yeah, for the first ten minutes I didn't know
- if it was going somewhere, but it was. - Kind of.
- Just keep standing there so Pesto doesn't see us. - That's right.
I-I'm just a guy waiting for a bus. A block from the bus stop.
I don't know where the bus stop is 'cause I'm new in town.
But I got a suitcase full of dreams and...
Oh, God, my buns are rolling off.
