All language subtitles for Secret World of Alex Mack s03e18 Twelve and a Half

I'm out now.

I was just an average kid until an
accident changed my life.

And since then, nothing's been the same.

My 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.

I know the chemical plant was to find me
and turn me into some experiment.

But you know something?

I guess I'm not so average anymore.

So weird. It seems like yesterday that I
was afraid of going to junior high.

Now I'm afraid of leaving it.

I think you're getting an idea of what
it's like to be me.

I mean, for a whole year, you're the
oldest in the school. And then when you

to ninth grade, you're suddenly thrown
back into the snake pit.

Just another insignificant freshman
again.

It's two weeks before graduation. Do you
think you could wait until then before

frightening me about high school? Sorry.

Hey, Alex, did you notice that there's a
girl following us?

Yeah, I know. She's been doing it for a
couple days now.

I'm terrified about my biology final.

If only I could just be Annie for one
day.

It wouldn't be worth it, believe me.

Excuse me. I was wondering if you could
tell me where you got your hat.

My hat?

Yeah, I love it.

Um, I got it at Lidsville, in the mall,
across from Wayneswick Walm.

My name's Alex.

I know that. You're Alex Mack. Ray
Alvarado's your best friend. You lived

River Knot all your life, and you used
to like Scott Green, but it didn't work

out. And you're Robin Russo.

I think you're awesome, Alex. I really
do. I hope I can be more like you when I

get older.

My name's Jenny.

Thanks, Jenny.

Well, anyway, I don't want to bother
you. I know you've probably got a

things to do.

That's okay.

You are so cool.

Alex!

Hi.

Nice hat.

Thanks for letting me get one.

What are you still doing here?

Everyone's gone.

I just like the privacy.

Did you want something?

You can sit down.

I love your watch.

You do?

I hate it. My dad gave it to me for my
birthday, but I didn't have the heart to

tell him.

So I'm just going to wear it for a
couple weeks until he forgets he gave it

me.

That's nice of you.

You're really nice.

I wish I could be you.

You're on the school paper, you have
tons of friends, and I just like the way

you are in general.

So, what are you doing now?

Um, I should probably be getting home.
Can I come?

Okay.

Honey, what's all this?

Oh, hi, sweetheart.

I'm glad you're home.

I'm going to Goodwill, and I'm going big
time. There's some heavy box in the

kitchen I need you to help me with.

George, you're home. You can put your
briefcases down.

I know. It's just that I have to do my
quarterly update of our GC -161

and what I have to present is huge.

I can't let it fall into the wrong
hands.

Like whose?

Alex's?

Come on, help me.

you people, I should have the
information very soon.

Yeah.

Now available to the highest bidder,
GC161.

Hey, George, that will do it. The guy on
the phone said they'd come by tomorrow

to pick up the box.

Honey, if they're not coming till
tomorrow, why don't we stack this stuff

closet? George, you can stack it
anywhere you want. I'm done, honey. My

killing me.

No way out.

That's okay.

That's okay.

I don't have any hobbies, really.

I'm pretty much a boring person.

Megan's my best friend.

I have a little sister, but I always
wanted an older one.

And I've always wanted a younger one.

Can I get you anything else?

Did you finish my math homework?

Sure did.

I'm fine for now.

Could you change the channel for me?

Oh, stop there.

Thanks. You can go now.

You can sleep up here tonight if you
want.

That's okay. The couch downstairs is
just fine.

You're the greatest sister in the whole
world, Alex.

Yeah, I guess I am.

I think you can learn a lot from people
older than you.

Oh, you can. If it weren't for my sister
Annie, I wouldn't know half the stuff I

do now.

Except most of it is about how not to
act when I get older.

You're lucky anyway. I wish I had
someone older to talk about stuff with.

Because I don't really know anyone, and
the popular kids make fun of me.

You know, being popular doesn't mean
you're better than anyone else.

It doesn't?

Of course not.

I mean, who's the most popular girl
around?

Kelly Phillips.

Exactly. Now, no one knows this because
she always acts all sweet and

everything.

But inside, she's really cruel and
selfish.

She is?

Oh, yeah.

It's really hard for me to make any
friends. All I have is Megan, and she's

more shy than I am.

It's not that hard to make friends.

All you have to do is open up to them
like you did with me.

That's how you get to know people.

I think I could really learn a lot from
someone like you, Alex.

Do you think you could help me?

Okay, breathe.

George, here we go.

Let it all hang out.

Wow, look at you. You're all set up.

Yep, ready to let the juices flow.

So, this quarterly update, it's going to
show some major progress?

Absolutely.

All I can tell you is that...

I'm ready to recommend that GC -161 be
tested on humans in small doses.

Hey, is that, um, that scary guy still
working on plant security?

Who, Vince?

Uh, no, Miss Atron fired him a while
back.

Can't help but feel sorry for him.

The man had no friends.

Well, understandably.

Okay. Alex, thanks so much for letting
me eat with you today.

You don't know what it means to me.

No big deal. Oh, yes, it is.

Do you like the way I'm dressed?

Yeah, it looks kind of familiar.

I signed up to work on the school paper
this morning.

You did?

Yeah, but I have to tell you, Alex, I
don't think anyone would even look at

paper if it weren't for your cool
photos.

I'd like to learn how to take photos,
too, but I'm afraid the other kids will

make fun of me for trying to copy you.

Don't you think it's a little late for
that?

And you don't have to dress exactly like
me, either.

You don't like the way I look?

No, I mean, it's great. I just think
it'd be better if you found your own

Megan, I'm sorry, but Alex and I are
having a personal conversation.

Why didn't you want to eat lunch with
her? I thought she was your best friend.

She's been bothering me lately, and I
wanted to talk to you in private, Alex.

I know, but... I mean, I eat with her
every day, and like you said, Alex, it's

good to make new friends and everything.

Alex!

I'm panicking. Finals are coming up, and
I'm drowning.

I have no chance of passing. I mean, I'm
going to end up back in eighth grade.

No, you're not. You're going to be fine.

Yeah, you're going to be fine.

I hope so.

I mean, I'm only 14 and I'm facing way
too much failure and disappointment in

life already.

Is she going to be okay?

Actually, I'm not sure.

I saw her last test, and she was
answering biology questions with

answers.

But she's my friend. She's just putting
a lot of pressure on herself.

I want her to think positive.

See? You're the greatest, nicest friend
in the whole world.

I can't believe that you're even talking
to me.

Oh,

God.

I'll

be fine.

It's kind of cute.

No, it isn't. It's really strange.

She's hanging around me every minute.
She's calling me at home. And yesterday

when I got to the donut shop after
school, she was there waiting for me.

So what are you going to do?

She's like an Alex Mack Jr.

I know.

She's even starting to talk like me.

I have to find a way to get rid of her.
I'm fast.

She turned into a little monster, and I
think there's something seriously wrong

with her.

I don't want anything else to do with
her anymore.

She's scaring me.

Thanks a lot, Alex.

For what?

Your little friend told me what you said
about me.

That I'm depressing to be with him. That
the only reason you're my friend is

because you feel sorry for me.

Robin, I didn't say that. I didn't say
anything about you to her.

Well, obviously she knew about my
problem with mixing up chemistry and

And if you didn't tell her, then who
did?

That's okay, Alex. Don't worry about
being my friend as a favor anymore.

Robin!

Alec, if you didn't like your watch, you
could have just told me and I could

have returned it.

Who said I didn't like it?

I don't know. Someone left a note on my
windshield.

Who would do that?

But, uh... Gee, I have no idea.

Listen, bubble butt. If you don't want
to be my science partner, it's no skin

off of my nose.

What has gotten into you?

A week ago you were so sweet and you
wanted to know where I got my hats and

stuff, but now all of a sudden you've
become such a little monster and I don't

like it one bit. To be honest with you,
Alex, I never really liked your hats

that much. Look, I don't care what you
do or don't like. Listen, Alex, I tried

to be your friend, and then I heard you
telling Robin some really horrible

things about me.

You did?

Jenny, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt
your feelings.

And I didn't know you were standing
there. But just because I said some mean

things doesn't mean I have to take it
out on my friends and family.

Hi, Jen -Jen.

Come on, I want to split some nachos
with you.

I'm sure Alex wouldn't want to hang out
with someone like me who's so cruel and

selfish.

Jen -Jen?

Come on, Georgie boy, keep typing.

Soon all of your secrets will be mine.

Miss Atron's competitors will pay a lot
of money for what you got.

How's it going?

I should call it a night, I suppose.

I only made it to level two.

I got through the maze, but the dragon
kept toasting me with its fireballs.

You never win at those stupid computer
games, Dad.

Hi.

I was wondering if you could tell me
where you got your hat.

No. This is like watching a caterpillar
grow into a lizard.

She thinks she's really hit the big time
now.

Jenny, we want some ice cream cone.

I'll get them. Who wants one?

We all do. Why don't you just get six of
them?

This kills me.

She's idolizing Kelly.

And now?

You're a total nobody.

What a weird kid.

Here you go.

Forget it. We don't want them anymore.

But they're melting on me, and they cost
me three bucks.

Well, I guess it was a bad investment
then.

It's mean, but she's getting what she
deserves.

Well, could you at least take them?
They're sticky.

Sorry. This is a new outfit.

Megan, could you help me?

I can't believe I actually feel sorry
for Jenny.

I

just

saw what happened, Jenny.

Look, I know you hate my guts, okay? I
know that.

You should.

I'm a horrible person.

I don't hate you.

In fact, at first I really liked having
you around.

Robin even started calling you my little
sister.

But instead of trying to be my friend,
you tried to become me.

And I didn't like that.

I did it because I liked you.

I know that.

But it doesn't make sense to change who
you are just to hang out with people you

think are cool.

You know, you just have to be yourself.

But being myself never works.

The only friend I ever had was Megan.

And what about Megan?

She was your best friend and then you
dumped her.

First for me and then for Kelly.

Just because someone's older and you
think they're cooler doesn't mean you

should abandon your real friends.

I think you owe her an apology.

I can't. She'll never forgive me.

I think she will.

I told her you wanted to talk to her.

Oh, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

Thanks, Alex.

I wish you really were my big sister.

No thanks.

Night, Annie.

Night. I finished my report.

Soon, I hope, we'll be entering a new GC
-161 era.

Dad.

You know I love the watch you gave me,
right?

Someone's just playing a trick on me.

Alex, I know you're just being nice, but
I took the watch back to the store

today, and they're going to let us
exchange it. Your mom has the receipt.

You go and pick out something you really
like.

Thanks, Dad.

I know you love me.

Good night, girls.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey, what was Dad doing camped out here
in the kitchen all week?

A quarterly GC -161 update.

He always barricades himself in the
kitchen whenever he has some huge

And he cleared out the fridge.

Have you seen the milk?

No. Why?

Well, could you spare a cookie at least?

Geez. Thanks for saving some crumbs for
the rest of us.

And you'd say I'm selfish.

Here you go. I was just playing.

What was that?

It's probably Dad's stomach.

I don't know.

What are you staring at?

Robin, I'm really sorry about what Jenny
said to you, but it wasn't true.

I wouldn't say that about you.

You know, you're one of my best friends.

Yeah, I told her about your biology and
chemistry problem, but that's all.

I guess I feel better now.

I should have known something was up
when she started hanging around Kelly.

For two years, I've been waiting to bust
out of this place.

And suddenly, I don't want to leave.

The whole thing is confusing.

I'm just glad I figured out the two
branches of science in time.

But it wasn't all that bad, was it?

You know, I think we'll look back on
today and really appreciate everything

went through.

Are you saying that these might end up
being the good old days?

Maybe. Man, I hope not.

If we just stick together, we'll be
fine.

Okay.
