Back in the '80s, I was a cheerleader,

and it was a blast.

But in the '90s,
it went to a whole new level.

The cheerleaders were finally
seen as athletes,

and TV competitions
captured our attention.

Okay, girls.

Know who's jazzed to be your new coach?

Here's a clue...

Whoo!

Sorry, it's me.

I'm just excited.

Used to be a cheerleader
back in the day.

I was actually team captain,

became real popular.

Dated the Quaker mascot,
became less popular.

Was it a mistake? Yeah, perhaps.

Do I still love the guy? Who knows.

His name was Barry.

It was a long time ago.
He's a doctor now.

We're getting off topic.

Point is, we're gonna kill it.

Can I get a "Go Quakers!"?

Go Quakers!

I didn't hear you.

Gooo Quakers!

Damn right! Now, let's get to work!

What's going on right now?

We gotta decorate the football
players' lockers today.

And then we gotta bake them all
game-day desserts.

Oh, man. I forgot about
this part of cheerleading.

Girls, cheerleading has changed.

It's not just about
rooting on the players.

You're all just as much
of athletes as they are.

- We are?
- Of course.

You've seen cheerleading
competitions on ESPN, right?

ESPN?

That's my dad's channel.

Everyone, follow me.

See, these girls are fierce competitors.

And you can be just as badass.

You really think so?

Yes! But it means more time practicing

and less time baking and crafting.

So you really think the football
team will go for this?

I'll talk to Coach Mellor.
Coach to coach.

What do you say, girls?

We are so in.

Go Quakers!

Go Quakers!

you're gonna get outta here ♪

"Those were the days" ♪

It was April 3rd, 1990-something,

and the school was on fire with gossip.

Back before social media,
it spread the old-fashioned way...

notes and word of mouth.

And no gossip was hotter

than news of an after-school fight.

Oh, this excites me.

I heard Raday was talking smack
about Reza in the pit,

and he went berserk and called him out.

I heard Raday and Reza's families

are sworn mortal enemies
that date back centuries.

Whoa, wait. Who's fighting who now?

Not Raday and Reza.

Saved it.

Code Red, people.

Word of a fight
has spread like wildfire.

Reza versus Raday, 2:30 sharp,
behind the gymnatorium.

We got to stop 'em now.

Come on! Let's go.

Whoa, wait.

Stop 'em? Why?

'Cause we're teachers
and that's our job?

Our job is to teach these kids

how to settle their differences
by themselves.

- Just look the other way.
- I'm sorry.

Are you saying
we should allow these kids

to just smack each other around

like Sgt. Slaughter
and Captain Lou Albano?

What? I like WWF.

I find the story lines very compelling.

Yes. That is how young men
squash their beef.

No, we need to help them squash the beef

by talking it out
like normal, rational adults.

Talk? Come on.

Have you ever had beef to squash, CB?

- Not really.
- Trust me.

You let 'em throw a few punches,

or their beef is gonna get beefier

until it can't be contained.

Okay, there is no way

that I'm letting the entire student body

stand outside chanting "fight"

as two nice kids
throw haymakers at each other.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Well, it seems we've
been debating this issue so long

that it's now 2:30.

Damn it, Crosby!
You were stalling on purpose.

Little bit.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

They're doing that thing
where they're super charged

and in each other's faces.

And now they're doing that thing
where they jerk their arms

like they're about to throw a punch,

causing the other one to flinch
like a little punk.

And now Raday's doing that hockey move!

I'm going in!

Hey, everyone, simmer down, okay?

- I'm breaking this up.
- Pardon me.

I am also breaking this up
because I am appalled

at this pathetic display
of boxing skill.

Okay, ignore everything that
your shop teacher just said

and get back to class.

The next day,
Mr. Glascott discovered that,

as the new principal, he'd lost touch

with what was happening on the ground.

Code Red, people.

Just got word there's gonna be
a bare-knuckle throwdown,

2:30 sharp behind the gymnatorium.

That was yesterday, and we broke it up.

- What?
- Don't sweat it, John.

You're head of the school now.

You have more important things
to worry about.

What exactly could be more important

than the actual children?

Well, you know, all the important stuff

like budgeting, and, um,
allocating the money,

and scheduling the funds
and where they go.

Those are all the same thing.

CB, set up a meeting
with me and those boys.

No need, boss. Already dealing with it.

Without me? But I'm head of school.

Which is why I assumed

that you would want
nothing to do with this.

Well, you assumed wrong.

So, what exactly is your plan?

Fight Club.

Oh, yeah, now we're talking!

Fight club? Are you nuts, man?

Okay, calm down.

The first rule of this Fight Club

is that there's no fighting
in Fight Club.

Instead, we read the book "Fight Club"

and then talk about it.

- So it's a book club.
- No.

- Sounds like a book club.
- Fine, it's a book club.

But it'll give the boys

an opportunity to have real dialogue.

- I hate this fight club.
- Wow.

- That's actually a fantastic idea, CB.
- Thanks.

And just the thing I need
to get back on the ground

where I belong,
helping these students again.

Wait, what?

John, I was hoping to run point on this.

I mean, it took me a while
to make the flyer.

At first I tried bubble letters,
then, um, puffy paint...

Well, an issue this important
needs to be handled correctly,

and, as a former GC...

guidance counselor...

- I have more experience.
- Right.

But that's not your job anymore,

which is why I think
the kids would prefer me.

You made the right call
on the no bubble letters.

You can feel good about that.

- Can I at least come to the meeting?
- Of course you can!

- That way you can see how it's done.
- O-Okay.

I look forward to seeing how the
idea I just told you is done.

Principal Glascott was insecure
about being replaced,

but I was confident Coach would help me

take cheerleading to the next level.

Hey, Rick. Got a sec?

For you, "Coach Lewis"?! Of course!

Come in, come in!

Gah, there you are.

Wow, you're excited to see me.

Well, of course I am!

Because you've just begun
your coaching journey.

Ah, how I envy you.

Soon you'll be glowing

with what we in
the coaching world call that...

coaching glow.

Oh, here you go.

Go on and take it. Your first whistle.

Once that's slung around your neck,

you'll never be the same.

Anyway, I wanted to talk
about the cheerleaders.

Whatever you need, it's done.

Coaches helping coaches.

That's what this is all about.

Perfect, 'cause I've entered the girls

into this big cheerleading competition,

but there's no time to practice

'cause they got to decorate
lockers and make food and stuff.

Ah! That reminds me.

Recipe for seafood gumbo.

Nothing gets me pumped for
battle like good old fish stew.

Oh, right, I remember the
pre-game gumbo we had to make.

One of our school's
time-honored traditions.

William Penn himself loved the gumbo,

a new taste from far away.

God, it's so many ingredients.

That's why it tastes
like victory, Coach.

- Go Quakers!
- Okay, you're not getting it.

My cheerleaders can't make the
gumbo that simmers for 16 hours

and win regionals. Understand?

Looks like you've got
your first coaching obstacle.

But the great coaches,
they figure it out.

Are you a great coach, Lainey Lewis?

Uh, you bet your blue-shorted ass I am.

I'll give you my word as a fellow coach

you'll get your gumbo.

Fight, Quakers, fight.

So, in order to get
more time to practice,

I went to some kids I was pretty sure

would be willing to help
the cheerleaders.

Attention, chess club.

The cheerleaders are
in dire need of help,

and you're our only hope.

So, what do you say?

No, no, no, no.

We're playing a game of the mind, here.

Shut up, Ellen!

Whatever it is, we'll do it.

Yeah. Consider us your bishops
in shining armor.

Gah, I mean knights!

I'm just so... flustered!

But yes. The answer's "yes."

I found my solution to my problem,

and Glascott found CB's solution to his.

Okay, boys, welcome to Fight Club.

Yeah!

We got a few rules to discuss.

The first rule of fight club is...

There is no fight club!

...there's no fighting in fight club.

- Wait, what?
- Rule number two...

do not touch the boiler.

You will be burned,
and your parents will sue us.

- So that's a no-no.
- Seriously?

Rule number three...

if you find the biology lab's
lost corn snake,

do not approach it.

She's pregnant and very irritable.

So, this isn't a fight club at all.

CB said the point of us coming down here

was to work out our problems.

Forget about CB. Ol' Glascott
is leading the charge now.

And it'll feel like fight club

when we start reading "Fight Club."

So it's a book club.

- John?
- Hmm?

Can I talk to you? Now?

All right, I'll be right back.

Stop eyeballing that boiler, Mankewitz.

You changed the meeting time.

You said I could be a part of this.

Yes, but then I saw the movie,

and I realized Ed Norton's whole problem

was that Brad Pitt kept interfering,

so I decided to run the club on my own.

First of all,
Brad Pitt wasn't interfering.

He's not even there.

Well, for someone who wasn't there,

he sure did pop up a lot, didn't he?

- Yes, 'cause he's in Ed Norton's head.
- In his head?

Brad Pitt was hooking up
with Helena Bonham Carter

while Norton was eating cereal
in the kitchen.

No, Ed Norton hooked up with her.

He just imagined that she was with Pitt.

- So who's eating cereal?
- That part is unclear.

Cereal doesn't eat itself, CB.

Okay, the movie has some holes.

But we were supposed
to do this together...

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Damn it, not again.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Okay, okay.

Enough!

There's no fighting in fight club.

That's my number one rule.

For the record, your rules
and fight club make no sense.

- Oh, it's my club again.
- I didn't make that flyer.

It's a good thing that
I was here to break this up.

Okay, everybody out of here.

CB's misguided Fight Club is over.

- What's this?
- The team's pre-game gumbo.

Why are you presenting me

with the team's
pre-game gumbo, Ed Morris?

Cheerleaders are busy preparing

for some high-octane competition,

so Ms. Lewis asked
the chess team to help out.

What?

They're gonna root us on
at our next blitz tournament.

Silently, of course.

But actual female girls will be there.

Everyone wins!

Okay, we have a huge problem here.

This school has glorious
traditions that must be honored.

Like the cheerleading gumbo tradition.

You can't just change that.

Didn't you get Ed's gumbo?

Oh, I got Ed's gumbo.

It tasted like six generations

of loving home cooking
down on the bayou.

But Ed is not a cheerleader.

Hey, I took your coaching advice.

I figured out a way to make
more time for practice

- so we can get ready for regionals.
- Come on.

We both know my boys
are not gonna be happy

with delicious gumbo
from the chess team.

I'm not coaching
to make your boys happy.

I'm coaching to make my girls champions.

Don't do that. Don't make this
a boy-girl thing.

I think you made this a boy-girl thing

when you turned your back

on Ed's delicious
seafood-and-sausage stew!

Look, as much as
I appreciate your squad,

they're not athletes!

They're cheerers.

It's right there in the name.

Not athletes, huh?

What they're doing is on ESPN,

just like football or basketball
or any other sport.

No way is cheerleading on ESPN...

Sweet sod!

Jenny Nussbaum just flipped
like a land dolphin!

Because this takes
real skill and strength.

Sweet lord of Rah-Rah,
these ladies are fearless!

Oh, God, don't drop...

Oh, what a save! Did you see that?!

That's called a "basket toss,"

actually one of our easiest moves.

Sounds like you get
why we want to focus on this

instead of gumbo.

Oh, I get it.

Attention, cheerleaders! No...

cheer athletes!

From this moment on,

your glorious sport is Mellor approved!

Tradition as we know it
will never be the same!

Oh! Oh.

Maybe talk about how the world's
changing after practice?

Yes, I'm sorry.

I had convinced Coach Mellor

that my cheerleaders were athletes.

Now he just had to convince his players.

Look, I know you're all disappointed

that the girls need to focus
on their own sport,

but times are changing.

Cheerleaders are now athletes
just like you guys!

Does this mean Marni's not gonna
decorate my locker anymore?

- No.
- So... then, it'll be Cheryl?

What? No. Nobody's decorating
anybody's locker.

Then how will get
glitter and ribbons on them?

You won't.

From now on, all lockers
will be plain, bare metal

with no arts and crafts of any kind.

But those decorated lockers
are how everyone in school

knows we're awesome football players.

It's cool, Weasel.

People will know
when they see the cheerleaders

presenting us
with our game-day desserts.

Guys, this is not complicated.

The cheerleaders are no longer

decorating your stuff
or baking you sweets.

So, to be clear,

the only thing the cheerleaders now do

is cheer at our games?

Yes.

And if I may add,

there is a world where
they upstage you guys

with their high-octane
acrobatic routines.

Okay, I'm gonna speak
for the team here and say "no."

Look, I know tradition is
important, and it will live on.

- How?
- You now have the unwavering support

of the chess team, who will
provide all game-day treats.

Who's up for some
homemade Louisiana lovin'?

- Come on! Get 'em out of here!
- No!

That's it. No beignets for anyone.

You'll not taste one bite

of their heavenly goodness.
Not one, okay?

Go into my office, men.

You can watch me eat
these pastries on my own.

We made three dozen of these.

Challenge accepted.

A day had passed since
the fight club book club

turned into an actual fight club,

but the real battle was now on.

Hey, John.

Um, I heard you're having
a sit-down with Alec and Reza.

Yeah, that's right.

General Glascott
has to return to the trenches

to save his troops.

My point is, I'm their class advisor.

That's why you're invited
to watch me work my magic.

By the time I'm done with those boys,

they're gonna be best bros.

Crazy.

You're like a pencil break black belt.

Okay, enough. What's going on here?

I mean, it has no official name,

but we generally call it pencil break.

But that's
a whimsical game of friendship.

I haven't fixed you two yet.

Nah, we're good.

No, you're not good.

Alec has been busting your balls
all year, man.

Yeah, which is why I just
had to stand up for myself.

I got some mad displaced anger

because my parents are making me go

to Chestnut Hill Academy next year.

Dude, that sucks.

Okay, enough.

No more bonding.

- This burgeoning friendship is over.
- What?

The moral of this story

cannot be that punching solves problems.

So, as the esteemed Head of this School,

I hereby declare that you two
are not friends.

You can't do that.

It's an unprecedented move, sure,

but my hands are tied.

Back me up here, CB.

- Actually, they do have a point.
- Don't need input.

Just tell the children
they're dead to each other.

You know what? They're not the
ones who need fixing. It's you.

- Nice.
- Dude!

Reza Alavi is right.

Sometimes you just have to
stand up for yourself.

- Exactly.
- Word.

And if I let myself get walked all over,

then I deserve everything you do to me.

You're a [bleep] and I'm tired of it.

- Boom.
- This is the best day of the year.

Are you kidding me right now?

You're all over me lately.

You're picking on me.
You're taking my ideas.

You're making me feel
like I'm the problem here.

CB, honestly, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

And that's what makes it worse.
But you know what?

I'm done. No more. I'm done with you.

By the way, Brad Pitt is clearly
Ed Norton's imaginary friend.

I watched it with my 12-year-old
nephew, and he got it.

He's a child.

While CB was done with John,

my squad was ready to cheer on the team

at the biggest game of the year.

Coach Lewis, uh,

it seems we got a little
situation brewing here.

Oh, another coaching obstacle,
huh? Lay it on me.

Well, it's come to my attention
that the football players

no longer want the cheerleaders
on the team bus.

- Or... cheering at all.
- What?

You said you'd get them on board.

I know, but it turns out

they really like
their lockers decorated.

Wait, are you saying they
don't want us to cheer at all?

That's right.
We own the halftime show now.

Oh, God. We've been replaced by...

flag corps.

Enjoy rolling up to the game

in your mom's
weak Pontiac Aztec, Harriet!

Ugh, watch the pole.

- Just keep it straight.
- No, you, like, flip it.

Coach, you have to stop this.

The flag girls are so jazzed.

I can't take that away from them.

- Look who's on the bus now, bitches!
- Great.

We'd be on that bus if we'd just
kept things the way they were.

But now... we've got nothing.

We've got a competition coming up.

That's what cheerleading's
all about, right?

Not flirting with
a bunch of football players

- on the back of a bus.
- No!

Thanks to you, we don't even
have a team to cheer for,

which means we're not even
cheerleaders at all.

Girls...

Looks like we got ourselves
another coaching obstacle.

We'll figure this out.

No. You figure it out.

You may be a coach, but I'm not.

Hey, C-to-the-B!

It's me, John Glascott.

Can we have a man-to-man talk?

Not like boss and boss-ee
but more like friends?

Of course.

Okay, here's the thing.

John Glascott is not a [bleep].
Take it back.

I will not, 'cause that's
what you've been to me.

How?! Tell me.

I demand to know
as your boss and also friend.

Well, if you're gonna make me say it,

I think you're jealous of me.

Right, I'm jealous of a man
wearing a Snoopy tie.

- Actually, I like your tie. It's fun.
- Thanks.

But what do I have to be jealous about?

'Cause I'm the teacher
that you used to be,

and you can't stand it, boss.

Don't you dare call me boss

unless it's a pleasantry
between pals like,

"Hey, I hope you had
a nice summer vacation, boss,"

or "thanks for taking me to that
Dave Matthews concert, boss."

- Fight! Fight! Fight!
- Oh, damn it, not again.

- I'll handle it.
- Not if I can handle it first!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

There is no fighting at this school.

Who is it? Tell me right now.

The two of you, apparently.

Us?

Why would anyone think that?

Uh, because CB called you a [bleep].

What? No, we don't have beef.

I mean, we do... a lot of it,

but fighting is not the answer.

I just intercepted a note in class.

Has the fight started yet?

There is no fight!

What adults do is talk and listen.

Violence solves nothing.

Besides, I'm 20 years younger.
It wouldn't even be fair.

Exactly.

Given CB's youth and lack of experience,

things could get ugly for him
really quick,

and we don't want that.

Your principal is right.

And to see me put
my judo training to use

would make matters worse, frankly.

No worse than me showing you
the art of capoeira...

...AKA Brazilian dance fighting.

Sure, I could flip your
principal into a trophy case,

and glass would rain down on him,

but what would that prove?

Nothing!

And not because I would see it coming,

I'd do a back flip out of the way,

kicking him in the forehead as I land!

- Oh, that's not possible.
- You don't know!

- Oh, come on!
- Fight! Fight! Fight!

- No!
- No!

- We're not fighting.
- It's not happening.

- No fighting. Go!
- It's not happening.

All right, you heard 'em. Move it.

Squash the beef.

Okay, come on. This is crazy.

I don't have it out for you.

You're one of my favorite
teachers, and you know that.

I used to.

Not anymore.

The football team had won their game,

but to Coach, it was
the worst loss of the season.

- Today was a total loss.
- Uh, but we just won.

But you still lost

because you turned your back
on our cheer team.

Coach, why are you sitting
in the locker room?

Yeah, you only just charge around

all fired up, throwing stuff.

Not anymore, Weasel.

This is on the cheerleaders
for thinking they're athletes.

I'm sorry, but they're not.

Well, if that's what you think,
then clean up.

I'll be waiting for you in the gym.

It's simple.

If you can do just one basket toss,

we'll all go back
to the way things were.

I don't know what a basket toss is,

but if they can do it wearing a skirt,

I think we'll be just fine.

Ladies?

Like Coach Lewis taught you.

Let's see you do that!

I can squat 350, holmes.

I don't think it'll be a problem
to throw Weasel

- 20 feet in the air.
- Wait, what?

I got your note. What's going on?

Just getting my boys on board.

Rick, I appreciate the effort,

but we both know there is no way...

On three!

One, two, three!

Aah!

You're my boy, Weasel.

I'm so sorry, man. I'm so sorry.

So, yeah, you're real athletes.
Big time.

And we get it if you never want
to cheer for us again

after the way we've acted.

Depends. Do you still want
the flag corps

to do the halftime show?

Those girls are mean.

And their giant sticks are dangerous.

Then looks like you just got
your cheerleaders back.

Yes!

Whoo!

Welcome back, Coach.

Just do me a favor and no more quitting.

Deal.

And don't worry. We'll make
you proud at regionals.

And we'll be right there
cheering you on.

Really?

Consider it a new tradition.

Hey, can we have a man-to-man talk?

Not as co-workers, but as friends?

Yeah, that didn't go over
so well last time.

It will now.

Because you were right, CB.

- I'm jealous.
- Why?

It's so hard watching you
with those kids,

being the one that they depend on.

That used to be me,
and back then, I was so happy.

And now you're not?

I'm the boss.
It doesn't matter what I feel.

Anyways, I gotta get
to a budgeting meeting.

We good? We squashed the beef?

- Consider it squashed.
- Great.

Hey, you know, um,

just 'cause you're
head of the school now

doesn't mean you can't still
be in the trenches.

Honestly, my school days are so crazy,

I don't even know if that's possible.

But what about helping me
after school with a new club?

A fight club.

Sometimes when we're
confronted with life's changes,

we all try to hold on to the past

and what we're comfortable with,

even teachers.

They spend so much time helping us

that we forget
that they grow and change, too.

Luckily, they've got their coworkers

and friends around them

to support them
and help them through anything.

Because even though things change,

the tradition of cheering each other on

will never go out of style.

Hello. My name is Brett Dier,
and I play CB.

And I'm sitting here
with the real Reza Alavi.

So, you and Alec Raday
really got in this fight.

Absolutely.

- Did you win?
- I did not.

How long did this fight last?

You know, it seemed like forever,

but it was probably 10 seconds.

Did he really pull that hockey move

where he pulled your shirt
over your head?

Yeah, he did.

What did your parents say
about the fight?

Of course I didn't tell them
about the fight

so they'll learn from this TV show,

but he did step on my glasses,

so I had to come up with some story

why I needed new glasses.

Who was your favorite teacher
at William Penn?

There was a lot of good teachers,

but I have a lot of fond memories of CB.

- Yeah.
- He was my swim coach.

He was able to make something

like putting your head underwater
for 20 hours a week fun.

How long can hold your breath?

- All the way down the pool.
- That's great.
