LAINEY: Back in the '90s,
school plays were
all the rage.

You had nervous auditions,

all the drama
of drama rehearsals,

and the intoxicating glory
of show night.

Last year,
my big triumph was Rent.

It was a huge success.

I didn't know
if I could ever top it,

but maybe I didn't have to.

Okay, guys. I know
there's been a lot of buzz

about the show I'm picking
for this year's musical.

Obviously, there are
huge expectations,

given that we crushed it
last year with Rent.

Best night of my life!

My grandma said we were
better than Broadway.

Exactly. Everyone is expecting
us to go bigger and better.

I think I have
the perfect show in mind.

JESSICA:
How about Miss Saigon?

We can land
an actual helicopter onstage

like they do on Broadway.

Yeah. You're right.
We could go bigger,

or we could do this!

Paint Your Wagon.

What?
It's a musical classic.

It's about this wagon,
and it needs, like, painting.

So they paint it.

And then they sing
about having painted it.

And don't get me started
on the awesome songs.

* Paint your wagon

* Don't forget your brush

* Hope you brought
some primer

* Then you paint it orange *

Have you even seen it?

Not yet.
I'm going off the title.

I've been looking forward
to this for a year.

Figured we'd do
something big again.

No, we've gotta give people
what they're not expecting.

They zig, we zag!

They want a helicopter,
we give 'em a wagon!

And guess
what that wagon needs?

TOGETHER: (FLATLY) Paint.

That's the spirit!
Go, wagons!

* Don't forget your primer

* Then you paint it orange *

* One of these days,
you're gonna get outta here

* Live your life
and finally be free

* Go where you wanna go,
do what you wanna do

* Someday, you will say
"Those were the days" *

It was November 6,
1990-something,

and Coach was doing
what he did best, coaching.

But that wasn't
his only legacy.

Back when he was a student
at our school,

Rick Mellor set a ton
of sports records,

but not for much longer.

Never thought I'd see the day
when my record

for most interceptions
in a game would get shattered.

This Matt Ryan kid's
got mad skills, dude.

Eh, break one of
my records, sure.

But I still got eight more
that are untouchable.

Oh, they were very touchable.

His longest field goal record,

his most dunks record,

his fastest pin record.

Bro, look.
You're off the whole board.

Did not see that coming.

Need a hug, dude?

Not at all.
'Cause at the end of the day,

I will always have one record
that will never be beat

in a sporting event
so bizarre,

so dangerous,
so all-around stupid

that most people
won't even go near it.

The pole vault!

It's just so random.

Aside from
Johnny Kittredge here,

nobody will touch that pole
with a 10-foot pole.

(GRUNTS)

Then how'd you set
the record?

It was my senior year.

Our only vaulter took a pole
to the tush.

Coach needed a sub.

Naturally,
he called upon me,

being that
I'm the perfect specimen

and built for excellence
in all sports.

His words, not mine.

Without hesitation, I grabbed
that giant, wobbly pole,

and I launched myself skyward,

elegantly soaring
14 feet, 7 inches
over that bar,

shattering the school record
for all...

Oh, you did it!

Oh, sweet Lord, no!

14 feet, 2 inches!

Attaboy, Tory!
Thanks, Coach K!

14 feet, 2 inches?

That new kid's
dangerously close to your...

I'm fully aware
of how close he is.

So whatcha gonna do?

There's nothing to do.

As a coach,
it's my job to make sure

these kids achieve excellence
no matter what they try...

Oh, crap,
he's going again?

(WHISTLE BLOWS)
(BODY THUDS)

Oops! My bad! Sorry!

Whistle got away from me.

While Mellor was lowering
the bar on the field,

I was lowering the bar
for myself.

Oh, boy!
Paint Your Wagon!

May I?

And garbage.

Hey! It took me almost
a minute to make those!

I heard about
your baffling choice

for the fall musical,
Ms. Lewis.

It's not happening.

You are doing this.
The Lion King.

The Lion King?

The Lion King?

Wilma, we're doing
The Lion King.

Yeah, I've been here
for all of it.
Oh, my God.

This is, no joke,
my favorite movie-musical

turned musical-musical ever.

* The circle of life *

The... The lettuce
is the little cub.

Yeah, we got it.

Earl, you do know
The Lion King

is a hit Broadway show
with a huge cast,

big numbers,
awesome costumes.

There's also a stampede
of angry wildebeests onstage.

Simba doesn't get tackled,
fortunately,

but some heavy
adult themes sure do.

Lainey, this play
is the hottest ticket
this year,

thanks to you.

I've got the Philly Post
coming, alumni flying in.

Even Sir Elton John
is coming.

What?
BOTH: What?

Well, I left word
with his agent's assistant,

who hung up,
but that's not a no.

Well, Wilm 'n I think
Sir Elton's a fool

if he misses this show.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah,
we're not a team on this.

Good luck, Ms. Lewis.

And I have no doubt
you'll make it
just as thrilling

as the million-dollar
Disney production

in the heart
of Times Square.

While Ball threw a wrench
in my plans,

Mellor was trying to throw
a wrench of his own.

John, can I talk to you
for a second?

It's super important.

I'd like to help Katman
with the boy's track team,

if that's okay with you.

Wow.

That's incredibly generous
of you, Rick.

Well, it's just me
helping where I can

and certainly has nothing
to do with a personal agenda.

Don't know why you'd make
that clarification,

but thank you.

You truly are
selfless, Rick.

Hey, that's your
new nickname,
Selfless Rick.

I don't do it
for the nicknames, John.

Okay, Modest Rick.
(CHUCKLES)

No. I'm gonna
keep working on it.

Modest Rick
is not cutting it.

But you are definitely
gonna get a new nickname.

All that matters to me
is I do what's best
for these kids.

Tory, you're out.

No more
pole vaulting for you.
Why?

It's time you follow
your true passion...

The hammer throw.

What's that thing?

It's a hammer
that you throw.

How do you not know this?
It's your passion.

Hey, Rick's back.

To what do we owe
this pleasure, pal?

Glascott asked me
to give you a hand,

so I'm making some bold moves
to fix this broken team.

Oh, man, that's great.

Glad I got your trust,
partner.

All right, Tory,
have at it!

(GLASS SHATTERS)

We did good work
here today.

While Katman
was none the wiser,

Glascott was onto Mellor.

Hey-hey! Got a message
the big boss-man wanted

to see good ol'
Selfless Rick!

More like Selfish Rick.
You got Tory throwing hammers?

So what's this all about?
Some stupid sports record?

Stupid? Those records
are my legacy.

Rick, you're one of
the top coaches in the city.

Maybe it's time to move on
from that wall.

Oh, you are such
a hypocrite.

Excuse me?
Don't act like
you don't care

about awards
and accolades.

You display yours
for all to see!

I worked my butt off
for those.

So did I!
How would you feel

if my name replaced yours
on this wall?

That's not even possible.

Is that a challenge?

No. It's the reality.

Then it's settled!
I will stop at nothing

until I surpass everything
you've ever accomplished,

starting with

graduating with honors
from Howard University!

You really won't.
Oh, I'm going.

And you think
you're so special
because you got a 4.0?

Mm-hmm.
I'll double it
and get an 8.0.

They don't give those,
I think.

They won't have a choice.

And when I am
named valedictorian,

I'll give
a commencement speech

declaring that Rick Mellor
is far superior

than John Glascott

and every single student
at Howard University.

Okay, I know we're fighting,
but, really, don't do that.

Next, I'll win each
and every award
you've ever won,

not just once,
but multiple times.

Really? You're gonna win the
Quaker Head of School Award

without even
being principal?

I'll become one
and win six!

And for my coup de grace,

I will become
the rightful owner of this.

My #1 Uncle mug
that Felicia gave me?

You're not even her uncle!

Yet! I shall wine and dine

and ultimately wed
your older sister, Claire,

aunt of Felicia Glascott,
your pride and joy.

Doesn't matter.

I'm Felicia's rock,
always have been!

Until now!

My life's mission is
to lavish Felicia with love,

support,
and mall shopping sprees

until this mug is mine!

That's hurtful, Rick!

In fact, I have
a new nickname for you.

It's Hurtful Rick!

Well, soon enough
you're gonna be calling me

"All of John's Greatest
Achievements Have Been
Taken by Me" Rick.

How's that sound?

I think
it's long and clunky.

Then coming up
with a better nickname
will be my first task!

My #1 Uncle mug handle.

Look what you've done!

Now it's just a cup.

First I'll fix this mug.

Then I'll marry
your sister.

(GROANS)

While Mellor was protecting
his legacy,

I was researching
The Lion King

and thinking my own legacy
was about to

go down the drain.

I can't do this play.

Oh, come on. Last year
you fought so hard

to get a big play.

Now they're letting you do
the biggest.

Exactly.

There's gonna be
all these huge expectations.

That's not my thing.

Expectations?

As in having someone
think so highly of you

that they assume everything
you do will be amazing?

Yes. It is messed up, man.

When I was a student here,
I meticulously arranged
my life

so that no one would
expect anything of me.

That sounds like
a lot of work

to get the result
of nothing.

But worth it.

My teachers didn't care
how I did.

They were just impressed
I came to class

instead of siphoning gas
out of their cars.

But now you're a grown-up
with an actual job,

which means actual people
expect you to do
actual things.

But I've already done a ton
of great stuff here,

and I just keep getting
asked for more and more.

When can I be like,
"We're cool, right?"

Seeing that it's your job,
never.

But stop freaking out.
We can help you.

Oh, my God, yeah.
Let me help.

I know every word
to The Lion King.

I can also help the kids
with the lyrics and the lines.

I'm really good
at animal sounds.

Here's an example.

Here's a Shih Tzu.
(BARKS)

And I can show the kids
how to sew
some amazing costumes.

Really?

In college,
I had a side hustle

making bootleg
Beanie Babies.

That's right.
Wilma was a bad girl.

Wow, thank you.

Um, you can handle
the costumes.

Me and CB will cover
the auditions.

Oh, man!

I can't wait to teach
our Timon

how to do a perfect
Nathan Lane impression.

(BAD ITALIAN ACCENT)
I... I'll-a tell ya, Simba.

This a-stinks.

(NORMAL VOICE)
I'm sorry. I'm just...

I'm overwhelmed,
and I'm excited.

Whoo!
I'm gonna go practice.

It's official.
I was screwed.

The school had
big expectations
for The Lion King,

but judging by the auditions,
I was in big trouble.

Simba, I want to
tell you something
that my father told me.

Sorry. Sorry to cut in.

It's just, Mufasa's played
by James Earl Jones,

so you gotta deepen
the ol' voice box.

How deep?

Well, he also plays
Darth Vader,
so mad deep.

Vader. Got it.

Simba! Krrrr-sshhh!

I am your father!
Krrrr...

Thank you for your time.
We'll be in touch.

(CHUCKLES)

Wow. Who knew finding
James Earl Jones

in a Quaker middle school
would be so hard?

Oh, wait, I did!

I know you're worried,
Lains,

but just like the song says,
hakuna matata.

Screw the song.

I've got nine male animals
to cast

and only three boys
who have auditioned.

Yeah, but the good news?

Hakuna matata.
You're making it worse.

Yeah, but you know
how I can make it better?

Say it with me.
Hakuna-mama.

Say it with me. Come on.
Hakuna-mama.

Hakuna matata!

No worries about
the incredibly
marginal talent pool.

The real star of Lion King,
the music.

You know what? You're right.
It is about the music.

(INSTRUMENTS PLAYING OFF-KEY)

Wow, great work,
everyone!

When you're done warming up,
let's hear Circle of Life.

I believe that was
Circle of Life.

Oh, that's worrisome.

No, no worries.

'Cause even if our pit
is rough around the edges,

the real reason why people
love The Lion King

is the epic,
life-size animal costumes.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Ta-da!

Gah! What the hell
am I looking at?!

Here's our giraffe.

Ha. We overshot
the neck a bit.

A bit? It looks like
he was just cut down
from the gallows.

Moving on,
that's a zebra.

It looks like it was murdered
and came back to seek revenge.

And finally, we have
our majestic elephant.

My measurements
were a bit off,

and we ran out of materials.

Oh, God.

It's like if the Elephant Man
were an actual elephant.

I'm sorry!

I thought it was like
sew a button here,

glue some felt there!

I'm the science teacher,
not Bob Mackie!

Everyone, it's fine.

Let's just take a deep breath
and say hakuna ma...

No. Don't you dare.
That song lied to us.

No one should ever
hakuna-matata
their way through life.

But it's a problem-free
philosophy, remember?

You don't see any problems
with the cast and crew

and menagerie
of jungle horrors?

Well, yeah,
part of me does.

And then the other part's
gonna go,

"Hakuna matata, though,
no worries."

Huh?
Oh, I got worries.

I got a lot of matata going on
in my body right now.

Where are you going?
To fix this

before I embarrass myself
and the entire school.

Wait! Do you
at least wanna see
the antelope we made?

Ahhh!

Holy (BLEEP) Wilma!

While my musical
was falling apart,

so was Mellor's plan to keep
his pole-vaulting record.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's all this?

I'm a physics teacher, Rick.

I'm using it to help Tory
improve his jump.

You can't cheat with science.

That's against the rules
of sports.

Buddy, Glascott made it clear
this is my team, not yours.

Yeah?
Well, he'll change his tune

when I court and marry
his sister Claire.
(CHUCKLES)

Please, just let it go.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Everyone in this school knows
you used to be a star athlete.

Used to be?

I could break my own record
right now if I so choose.

You really can't, pal.
Says who?

Says body mass, bone density,
lung capacity.

Don't you dare diminish me
with your witch-like
equations.

I'll tell ya what.
If I go pole-vault right now

and set a new record,
it stands.

And if you don't,
you let it go
once and for all.

What do ya say?

I say prepare
to witness greatness.

It's Mellor Time.

(INSPIRATIONAL
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYS)

(GROANING)

(MUSIC STOPS)

Did I do it?
Sure didn't, buddy,

'cause, ya know, science.

Ah, screw science.
I'm going again.

Okay, here I go!

Uppsey daisy!

LAINEY: Okay!
(CLAPS HANDS)

Listen up, everyone.

Just want to say I am
so impressed with all of you.

I mean, look at that set
our stage crew is building.

Truly, you kids
are insanely talented,

which is why it was so hard
for me to hire adults

who can do it all way better.

Wait. What?

My dad owns a tile
and flooring company,

so I borrowed a few workmen
to give us a little help

in building
every single thing.

So what do we get to build?

Camaraderie
with your friends

as you sit in the shadows
and watch the show
come to life.

Are you sure you don't want
the kids to help at all?

Of course. Just not
the complicated stuff,

like sets and costumes
and also the orchestra.

Say hello to Pennsylvania's
third-best Rush cover band.

You're gonna love
what we did to the end

of I Just Can't Wait
to Be King.

Just stick
to the sheet music.

Okay, but if a good 10-hour
jam session happens,

I can't fight it.

Wow, lot of big changes.
What about the cast?

You're all super stars,

so just go up there
and have a great show.

Minus the roles
I've recast.

You owe me big time.

I'm missing a lot
of work for this.

And I'm missing
the LSAT.

It was either become a lawyer
or see my sweet Erica.

'Sup?

You chose poorly.

Meet our new Simba
and Nala.

Why?
What?

Back in the day,
Dave Kim and Erica Goldberg

were shining
theater stars.

Sorry, Jessica and Tom.

You're also stars,
just not as bright.
But still stars.

My grammy's coming
from Portland.

This is gonna be
really hard to explain.

I know you have a lot
of expectations on you, um,

but the point
of a student production

is that it has
actual students.

Bummer.
I was hoping you'd play
both Timon and Pumbaa.

Both?
You were saying?

It's like someone
came up to me and said,

"Your dream
just came true,"

and then some other guy
was like,

"Your other dream
just came true."

I'll take that as a yes.

(COCKNEY ACCENT)
'Allo! I'm Pumbaa!

And I-I eat bugs,
I do!

Where are these accents
coming from?

Gah!
I'm gonna work on it.

Whoa, wait. Where are
you guys all going?

We quit.
We didn't sign up
to do nothing.

I just wanted to put on
the best show possible.

Without us.

Doing theater with you
was supposed to be

the best part
of the whole school year.

No, don't do that.

I already have
so many expectations on me

from Ball
and everyone else.

I can't have them
from you guys, too.

Last time I checked,

we should be the only ones
that matter.

Cheggit, Dave Kim
wears V-necks now.

And guess how much
I can bench.

I don't know.
Like 60 pounds?

Yes.

John, you got a sec
for Hurtful Rick?

Don't even. I just got off the
phone with my big sis, Claire.

She said you asked her out
on a date to Planet Hollywood?

Don't worry.
I will worry.

Everyone knows it's the most
romantic restaurant in town,

after Rainforest Cafe.
Calm down.

Katman forced me to move on
from my old records

and focus on the now.

Really?

Which is why I created
a new board

specifically for teachers.

Teacher records?

(CHUCKLES) Come on, Rick.
That's not a thing.

Oh, but it is.

There's a board,
so it's official.

But these records
are insane.

"Most Nerds Encouraged"?

2,904 dweebs and counting.

"Longest Whistle Blow"?

18.2 seconds.
You want to take me on?

No. Most of these records
don't even apply
to half the faculty.

I mean,
"Most High-Fives Delivered"?

"Most Chicken Cubes Eaten"?

"Thickest Right Calf"?

"Most No-Handed Push-Ups"?

How does that even work?

It doesn't.

I hurt myself real bad,
but I still did one.

Okay, stop. There's no way
that I'm letting you

hang this in the gym
next to the kids

who have worked so hard
to get there.

But I worked hard, too.

That wall in the gym
is my crowning achievement.

Now it's gone.

Yeah, because you
pushed those kids

to be their best
and to win.

Exactly. They're the ones
who win, and not me.

You don't get it,
do you?

The wall in your office
is full of achievements,

and all my records
are gone.

My wall is blank.

And it's gonna stay
that way.

Thanks to
my questionable directing,

it was curtains
for my production
of The Lion King.

Whatcha up to, Lewis?

I'm canceling the show.
You can't do that.

It wasn't really my choice.

All the kids I fired
are quitting.

Look, I know we all got
swept away

with this whole
Lion King thing,

and some of us may have spent
an entire month's salary

on a dialect coach.
Did it help?

(JAMAICAN ACCENT)
I'm Nathan Lane, mon.

Are you?
(NORMAL VOICE)
Obviously not.

The point is
all you wanted to do

was put on a great show.

It's a good thing.

The hell it is.

Life is so much easier

when people expect nothing
from you.

Lainey, it's just
a high school play.

What's the worst that could
happen if it's not perfect?

I embarrass myself
and the kids
and this entire school.

My response to that?

Oh, no,
what are you doing?

(PIANO MUSIC PLAYS)

* Hakuna matata

Don't do that.

* What a wonderful phrase

Please stop.

* Hakuna matata

You're making it worse.

* Ain't no passing craze

Are you done?

* It means no worries

* For the rest of your days

Holy crap, you can sing.

* It's our problem-free

Why am I
the music teacher?

BOTH:
* Philosophy

Effortless harmonizing.

* Hakuna

(MUSIC STOPS)

* Matata *

There she is.

(LAUGHS)

Okay, I'm not giving up
on this,

but we got
a lot of work to do.

Wilma, go cancel
the costumes I ordered

and fix up the old ones.
Copy that.

CB, tell Johnny Atkins
and his band

I've decided
to part ways.

Oh. That'll be fun.

Hey, CB?
Yeah?

You may be a terrible Timon
and an even worse Pumbaa,

but you're an amazing guy.

No worries.

* You should never
take more than you give

* In the circle of life

Damn it!

You're hesitating.
What?

Stop thinking
about your form

and focus on getting
over the bar.

Rick, we had a deal.

I know.
I'm not here for me.

I'm here to help him get
that record.

Stop doubting yourself.

Back in the day,
I didn't have
the best form,

but I was fearless.

You can do this.

* Till we find our place

Go get it.

* On the path unwinding

(CHEERING)

That's a new record, Rick.
Big of you to let it go.

It just feels good
to be a part of it.

* The circle of life

* Li-i-i-fe *

There's nothing scarier
than when people

have big expectations
of you.

But turns out, CB was right.

I really didn't need to worry.

That night,
those parents watched

the performance
of a lifetime.

Sure, it wasn't Broadway,

but with my friends
by my side,

those kids were
able to reach new heights.

'Cause in the end,

that's the way
you'll be remembered forever.

* In the circle

Who cares about having
your name up on some wall

when you can have it up
on the whole building?

You did this?

No, you did.

And it wasn't by setting
all those records
as a student.

It was by being
the best coach these kids
could have asked for

for all these years.

Thanks, John.

I needed this win.

You've got plenty.

And you got plenty more
in the future.
* In the circle

* The circle of life *

(INHALES SHARPLY,
EXHALES SHARPLY)

Come on! Just me like me
and Coach K taught you!

Lead with your right!
You can do it,
John Kittredge!

(LAUGHS)

(CHEERING)

(CHEERING)

(CHEERING)
MAN: Nice.

I cleared 10 feet
on my first jump.

John...
Didn't make it.

...cleared it after
the competition was over.

(LAUGHTER)

But let it be known,
John has jumped 10 feet.

Successfully.
Officially.
