Are you ready?

Ooh, I know you see me standing here.

Do I look good, my dear?

Do I look good today?

Ooh,

I'm just another kind of girl.

And you want to see my world.

So come and run.

I will make you see all the things that you can.

No way.

I swear.

Oh, come on. That is not true. It's so true.

They're not the same size?

Nope. My left one's bigger. I don't believe it. They have to be the same

Uh -uh. Almost a full size bigger.

See? My right one's a size five and a half, and my left one's a size six and a

half.

Insane.

Freaky.

Afternoon, girls.

Hello. Dean Rivers?

Why are you sitting with us?

Zoe, have you heard of a girl named Paige Howard?

The girl who won the National Science Achievement Award this year?

Exactly. She's considering switching schools and coming to PCA.

Really? I'm talking to Zoe.

She's going to visit here a few days, and I want you to be her host. You know,

show her around, talk up the school, that kind of thing.

Um, sure.

Well, this is exciting.

I can ask her all about her photon energy converter.

Wow, hours of fun conversation.

And... She's going to be installing her energy converter thingy here at PCA,

which means that we will be the first school in the world running on page

I can't handle this much excitement.

28.

29. He's almost an hour late.

I'm aware.

This is the third time he's flaked on us. How many times are we supposed to

up with him blowing us off and not even caring enough to... Stop, fellas.

Pardon my tardy.

It's not funny, dude. We got four days left to get the psychology project done,

and we don't even have an idea. I pitched an idea.

We can't send a bunny up in a rocket.

Why not?

We have no bunny, we have no rocket, and it has nothing to do with psychology.

It's my baby.

What's up, little Lisa?

Hang up.

Oh, okay, yeah. I'll be there in ten.

Come on, man.

What? Look, I'll only be gone ten minutes. Three hours tops.

Shalom.

Come in.

Mr. Berenger?

Sorry I'm late. I was in Dean Rivers' office meeting.

Paige Howard!

Please! Please come in!

Everyone, this is Paige. She's from Boulder, Colorado, and she's thinking

coming to PCA. Hey, guys.

You better come to PCA. It would be an absolute honor to have a scientist of

your caliber on this campus.

Oh, stop.

Hi, Paige.

I'm Quinn Penske. Oh, yeah, I've read your science blog a few times. I loved

your take on the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

And the fun begins.

Okay, Paige, why don't you just have a seat next to Zoe? Quinn here.

If you will, regale us.

Well, as I was saying...

A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite whose orbital track on the

repeats regularly over the equator.

Right, right. Pretty impressive, huh, Paige?

Um, yeah.

Uh -huh.

Huh. That was not a very convincing uh -huh.

Something you want to share?

I'm really just here to watch.

It's okay, Paige. You can jump in.

Um, okay.

Um, actually, if the satellite's orbit lies over the equator, it's technically

called a geostationary satellite.

Oh, right.

But a geostationary satellite is a type of geosynchronous satellite, so you're

pretty much right.

Thanks.

Very impressive, Paige.

Kind of makes me wonder what other wrong things Quinn has taught us this

semester.

Settle down. I'm just kidding, Quinn.

Okay, moving on to Kepler's first law.

All right, I'll see you around 7 .30.

Okay,

that is like the biggest fish I've ever seen.

What fish?

For what you snagged. I didn't know you were a fishing man.

Okay, I'm so lost.

The picture.

On the student snapshot board?

Right over here.

See?

What's that?

It seems to be some sort of sea bass. I'd say somewhere around 17 pounds.

How'd you catch it, Captain Sassy?

I didn't. I've never been fishing before in my life.

But the caption says, Michael Barrett displays his prized catch, and that's

holding a fish.

I know, but I don't remember.

Maybe I went on a fishing trip and just forgot about it?

Um, sure.

Should I be scared? Because I'm feeling scared.

I've noticed you're not answering.

So scared.

Maybe it's time to give up? I'm not giving up.

I've got three months of my life in this thing and it's going to work.

No one can defeat gravity, Quinn. I can.

I can just...

Now activate the electrically charged ion field.

Nice going, Quinn. You created the cell phone destroyer.

Did you get the extended warranty?

Okay, guys. Hi.

What smells like burning plastic?

Burning plastic?

Who melted my cell phone with her anti -gravity doohickey?

You built an anti -gravity chamber?

Well, not yet.

But it will be as soon as I figure out how to balance the ion -magnetic gamma

wave. Would it be cool if I, uh...

Sure. I don't think, um... Okay, now let's give it a shot.

Wait, what are you...

And down we go.

That's amazing.

Paige, you defeated gravity.

No, Quinn built it. I just made it work.

Well, I'm going to go take a

walk.

Later.

I don't know how to answer this.

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Excuse me, miss?

Albert Einstein, how are you?

But you died in 1955.

Oh, no, no. I just had a cold.

I've been living in Orlando.

Really? Oh, yeah.

Anyway, I've come to PCA because I want to meet the greatest young female

scientist of our time.

The greatest young female scientist of our time? You really mean that? Yeah.

Where is that Paige Howard?

Here I am.

I just can't believe how brilliant you are and beautiful.

And you're two years younger than Quinn.

It's amazing.

Thanks. Dance with me.

Wake up, boys.

We got class in 30.

What the...

I'm wearing a tuxedo?

Why am I wearing a tuxedo? I was just gonna ask you that.

Why would you go to sleep in a tuxedo? I didn't. I mean, I don't think I... No,

I know I didn't.

Well, dude, you're wearing a tuxedo. I can see that.

But I'm a teenager. I don't even own a tuxedo.

Well, then where'd you get it?

Because I'm giving up science.

Will you stop?

Quinn!

Let go!

Not until you tell us why you're doing this! Because I don't want to be a

scientist anymore!

If I can't dance with Einstein, what's the point?

What is she talking about?

Paige! She's back!

She's smarter, she's younger, and she has silkier hair.

That is true. What kind of shampoo do you think... Ow!

Okay, first of all, I wouldn't say Paige is smarter than you. And even if she

is, so?

So? My whole life has been devoted to being the best at what I do.

But it's all been a lie.

I'm not the best.

Can't you just use the same shampoo Paige does?

Come on, Quinn, you're being silly.

Just leave me alone.

No, not until you stop throwing all your science stuff away.

Who are you?

Bah!

Bah!

What?

The jalapenos are sleeping.

Okay, uh, what are you saying? And who are you?

I'm everything... and nothing.

Uh -huh.

Why is he... What guy?

There was... There was a little guy.

And he was playing a banjo. And wearing a wedding dress with ruby red slippers.

Yeah. Maybe, uh... Maybe she goes to the nurse.

Hey.

I'm not crazy. I swear.

He was... Hey!

I'm taking my fish for a walk.

Run!

Run! Run like a bunny who's late for his appointment.

We're live at Pacific Coast Academy to meet one of the brightest young

scientists in the country, Paige Howard.

Just last June, Ms. Howard won the Junior National Science Achievement

her work in reducing energy consumption.

Right now, with the help of the California Department of Water and

Howard is installing her prize -winning proton energy converter, which will

increase the school's electrical efficiency by 12%. How's it coming?

Almost set.

Where's Quinn?

I don't know. She ditched English and blew off study hall.

Hey, here she comes.

Stop.

Where have you been all day?

Sleeping. You can't just blow off class and sleep. I can, and I did.

Quinn, you're 20 minutes late.

You're lucky I'm here at all.

I am a grown -up.

Talk to me like... Did you hear the way she talked to me?

I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy.

What? Best friends and a fish?

Chase!

Logan! Help me! Please help me!

What? What's the matter? I think I'm going crazy.

I'm out of my mind.

I'm crazy.

Excellent. Nice work.

Huh? Did you hear what I said?

We're going to get an A on our project.

An A? Okay, what are you guys talking about? Our psychology project.

Since you wouldn't help us, we came up with our own idea.

What idea?

To prove that if you make someone think they're going crazy, they'll actually go

crazy. Which you did.

Nicely done.

But the pictures!

And the tuxedo!

All us.

Okay, but what about the crazy little man?

Coco's cousin.

I had to pay him 50 bucks to put on the wedding dress.

Anyway, congrats, man.

All we gotta do now is just type it up and turn it in.

You're cute.

Now, as soon as I activate it, all the power in the school will be redirected

through these proton converter chambers.

I am tingling.

We're back live at the Pacific Coast Academy and only seconds away from

witnessing a revolutionary event in terms of energy conservation and

Incredibly, it all comes from the brain of a 13 -year -old girl named Hayes

Howard, who won the National Science Achievement Award this year for

device known as a proton energy converter, which has been getting

the world's top scientists.

What's wrong?

The power's fluctuating.

Um, just a moment.

What's happening?

A power building.

Is that good?

Not really.

Give me an output reading.

I got 10 .4. 10 .4?

Wait. 10 .9?

11 .1?

We better shut down your device.

It can't be shut down unless you kill the power at the main grid.

You can't do that without city authorization.

What's happening?

I'm handling this.

What's happening?

Um, you might want to evacuate PCA.

Not kidding.

A serious situation is unfolding. Here at Pacific Coast Academy, the device

was supposed to maximize electrical efficiency has instead created chaos

the school. Due to a potential overload, all students and faculty are being

ordered to evacuate the campus immediately.

Come on, come on, please, let's go, let's go, go.

Go, go, go, go.

Come on.

Because you're a genius.

You're the genius.

Look, we're both really smart, okay?

Quinn, go help her. She needs you.

Bye.

Come on, Paige, I'll help you. Do you know anything about electrical

or theoretical physics?

Nothing at all.

Perfect. Okay, you go help Paige.

Right, and what are you going to do? I'm going to go hide behind that big tree.

All students and faculty, engine to north gate.

Come on.

so we know how much power is building up.

Okay. I already restricted the input capacitors down to zero, but the power

still bouncing back.

Why is the power still bouncing back?

I don't know. Maybe it's confused?

Did anyone burn the counterflux?

I don't think I don't have to think anymore.

I can. It's a parallel.

and near disastrous start, the power -saving module designed by Paige Howard

Quinn Penske is now working flawlessly.

Based on the revolutionary success of the device, both Ms. Howard, age 13,

and Ms. Penske, age 14, were offered early admission to the California

of Technology.

Quinn, you're going to college?

Now? No.

Paige accepted the offer.

She's going.

I told him no thanks.

How come?

Because. I don't want to go to college yet.

I want to spend my high school years in high school.

At PCA.

With all my friends.

Aww.

She loves us.

Yeah, I do.

Well, I'm the most glad you're staying.

Why's that?

You can go repaint my key.

Mmm, aluminum.

What a freak.
