[music]

If you elect me as your class ambassador,

I will do things the right way, the Wilson Way,

honest and just,

with every student's best interest at heart.

Wait for it.

[crowd applauding]

I promise to seek resources for all our clubs.

I promise to beautify our campus.

-I promise to-- -Ban Meatloaf Mondays!

[laughing]

You laugh now, but I am very concerned

about its poor nutritional value.

So are the people. Listen.

[crowd applauding]

Yo, Charlie, I don't even know why you're working that hard.

And I don't think it's that serious.

But it is serious. The class ambassador is the student

who can influence school policy.

And my opponent, Ace, is hungry for that power.

And he is not nice.

Man, that guy's the worst. Help me with this.

He's always trying to hang around me.

Appreciate it.

But he's a phony. Faker than a Bolex watch.

Then you should endorse me. Your word has a lot of sway,

and I'm down in the polls.

Sorry, man. I don't get involved with politics.

Good for you, Dylan. 'Cause politics is a messy business.

It's cutthroat and it's dog-eat-dog. Rawr.

Here's your campaign flyers, Charlie.

I think student government is important.

It's about community, responsibility and leadership.

And printing costs are expensive.

Charlie, are you sure you need all these flyers?

You can't put a price on democracy, Dad.

Yes, we can. We have the receipts.

-How much did this cost? -[Yasmine] Mm-hmm.

[Principal] Make sure to show your school spirit

during thisweek's daily themes.

Superhero, Pajama, Beach, Senior Citizen,

and School Spirit Day, my favorite day!

[laughing] The end.

Dylan, I put out an extra cape for you to wear for

Superhero Day and you left it? Where's your school spirit?

I'm good, man.

All that school spirit stuff, that's all you, bro.

I hope my efforts don't go unnoticed

on the campaign trail. Wish me luck.

Allow me to explain why the Wilson Way

is the way for our school.

Man, Chuckles is going out sad.

Ace, my parents paid a lot for those posters, apparently.

I thought you would've dropped out by now.

So you and your popular friends can trample over the needs

of the rest of us? No way. I'll let the votes decide.

We don't need an election to tell you that you're a loser.

[slams locker]

Hey, man. I know you're not over here disrespecting my cousin.

I'm just telling him how things work around here

for guys like us.

Which is why we should be best buds.

So you're gonna diss my cousin, then hit me up to be friends?

Man, read the room.

Teaming up could be beneficial.

What do you say about endorsing me?

You can miss me with that.

I would never be down with a team of lames.

Well, if you're not my friend, I guess that makes you my enemy.

Oh, I'm so scared. Oh, come save me, come save me.

Oh, I'm so scared.

You should be. As class ambassador,

I'll have influence to make your life difficult.

I could even push to stop rapping in school.

Your music's trash anyway.

Like he could do that.

Wait, could he do that?

If he convinces enough teachers, yeah.

Oh, man!

Lollygagging again, Dylan? Get to class.

Yes, sir.

There's a lot of teachers out to get me. Charlie, you gotta win!

I know, but no one's listening to me!

You have the right message, just the wrong delivery.

So what? Email blasts?

A fire hook can always save the day.

Just put a little sauce to your campaign.

Sauce?

Yeah, I'll make it saucy.

What does that mean?

It means I'm gonna endorse you.

-That's super saucy! -Please don't.

Okay.

[music]

I can't wait for everyone to see

the shirts we designed for Spirit Week.

They're gonna be so shook. We'll be heroes, legends after this.

[gasps]

Is that what shook looks like?

Go Fighting Fartans!?

It's supposed to say, "Go Fighting Spartans."

Ugh. [gasps]

It's on all of them. No one'll want this!

They're gonna want their money back.

We can't give refunds.

Shirt sales pay for the ice cream truck we get

on the last day of Spirit Week every year.

That's the best part of Spirit Week.

If we ruin this, then we won't be legends.

We'll be ruined and have to go to the school across town!

I have 103 grade point average. I can't start over!

How could this happen?

You proofread our design before you sent it in, right?

There's no way I sent our design in with this typo.

I have the email right here.

-Oops! -Rebecca!

I guess I've just had so much going on with school

and the record label that I didn't look over this

as hard as I should have.

Our design was supposed to blow everyone away, but not this way.

There has to be a way to fix this. We just need to think.

[Both] Nah!

Well, we can't get new shirts

and we definitely can't give these out.

We can assume new identities. My uncle knows a guy.

Let's call that plan B.

[gasps] We could offer something other than shirts.

Something with school colors that we can make ourselves.

We used to make best friend lanyards.

I still have some supplies in my room.

But they take forever to make.

Well, then we got our work cut out for us.

Lanyards are our best bet.

Our friendship really did save us in the end.

Let's go make some best friend lanyards, best friend!

[music]

[Principal] Good morning, young scholars,

and a happy Pajama Day to you all.

And for Tammy the sub, yes, a onesie counts as pajamas.

Thanks for wearing pajamas, Dylan.

Don't get it twisted. I'm only wearing these to support you.

Are you ready to run these numbers up on Ace?

I won't sleep til I secure victory!

Get it? 'Cause of what we're wearing?

I got it, but do us a favor

and don't tell that one to any voters.

I hear that feedback, and I will adjust accordingly.

-Got you. -Let's go!

[beatboxing]

♪ Listen, it's Charlie Wilson ♪

♪ Yo, cuz got a plan on a mission ♪

♪ With a vision on his words

♪ He's gonna stand He's not an amateur ♪

♪ He'll go to bat for ya Listen to him talk ♪

♪ He's trying to be the next ambassador ♪

♪ His Wilson Way is so tailor made and he serves for you ♪

♪ In soccer team, bio club and French club, too ♪

Cut the beat.

Charlie's solid every day on the calendar.

But can we say the same for the challenger?

He's the driver, not the passenger.

That's why Charlie Wilson's your next ambassador.

[clapping]

Thanks, Dylan! I think we've turned it around.

Charlie's okay, but Ace said if we vote for him,

he'd build us a new gym.

Forget that lil' gym Ace is talking about.

Charlie can give you way more.

I could vote for that.

[music]

Get your Spirit Week lanyards here, only $5 each.

All the best people wear them.

Did I say five each? It's only two for six!

Three for five?

Five for five?

[sighs]

I can't believe we stayed up all night making these lanyards

to replace the fart shirts and nobody wants them.

Look on the bright side,

at least we didn't have to get changed for school today.

Facts.

We can still save this. Just... rebrand.

Emphasize what makes the lanyards so special

in the first place.

Well, we were thinking about our friendship when we made them.

Well, if that's not the right spirit to save Spirit Week,

then I don't know what is.

And hopefully save us from popularity ground zero.

Go, go!

This year for Spirit Week, we're offering special edition

lanyards in place of the usual boring tees.

They represent the power of friendship and school spirit.

Oh.

I don't like the craftsmanship on those.

They look slapped together.

I feel like slapping something all right.

I'll just take the shirts I already paid for.

This isn't the spirit I was hoping for.

Here you go, Charlie!

What's this?

The blueprints for the new stadium Dylan promised us

if we vote for you.

What? I can't make that happen!

So your entire campaign is a lie?

No, that's not true.

Great, then we're getting a stadium with my name on it!

[clapping]

What are we all cheering about?

Apparently, the new stadium my campaign manager promised them.

Uh, don't be mad at me. I was helping you out.

And it's working. You're beating Ace in the polls.

But you're making me look like a liar.

I can't keep that promise.

You don't have to. The election will be over

by the time they figure it out. And it keeps Ace from winning

and making life around here terrible.

Isn't that what you want?

Sorry, Dylan, but it's the Wilson Way or the highway.

You've left me no choice.

You're fired!

What?

I'm not fired! You're fired!

I'll beat Ace by myself.

Hey class!

Young Dylan is running for school ambassador!

[cheering and clapping]

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.

[music]

[music]

Hey, those are mine!

Hey! I need these for my campaign!

They say Wilson and I'm a Wilson!

Dang it! I really should've specified which one!

-Give me those! -No, they're mine!

[Charlie] They were mine in the first place!

-Give 'em! -You ain't gonna get them back!

Boys, boys! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Boys!

What's going on?

Dylan's running against me at school.

You don't even wanna be class ambassador!

I didn't until you fired me!

I have the best chance of beating Ace.

Wait.

Dylan, you're running in the race now?

What happened between you two since yesterday?

I asked Dylan to add a little sauce to my campaign

and he used the whole bottle!

I needed to. He was gonna lose.

I hate to say I told you so. Politics, dog-eat-dog. Rawr.

You two, let's talk this out.

Surely, we can come to an agreement.

Nope. He's being petty.

It's not petty! If Ace wins, he's gonna go after both of us!

So technically, I'm doing this for you!

Yeah, right. This is all about me!

No. I just said he's coming for both of us. Keep up, bro!

Don't let winning blind you to what you could potentially lose.

Isn't family bigger than this little political rift?

-No! -No!

[music]

Good call on the hats. We can't see them.

They can't see us.

Rebecca, Bethany. I've been looking for you.

How'd you know it was us?

Uh, if you were trying to hide, a piece of advice...

Don't stand in front of your own locker.

He's got us there.

I've been getting complaints that Spirit Week shirts

haven't gone out yet. Don't you have them?

Yes, but...

I don't want excuses.

If people don't get what they paid for soon,

we'll have to give them their money back.

We can't do that.

You're darn right,

or else we lose the ice cream truck at the end of the week.

And I need my Rocky Road! [clears throat]

Spirit Week works my spirit.

So plan B?

I'll call my uncle's guy and get started on our new identities.

No. We just have to boss up and take accountability

for our mistake.

Or you could be Lauren from London.

We just have to own this and take whatever comes.

Together. Even if it means having to start our lives over

at that school across town.

You with me, best friend?

-No. -What?!

[music]

Dylan says I'm not real, but do we really know

the real Young Dylan?

Yo, what's wrong with that? I look fly.

Does he though?

Notice his discolored and strange-looking socks.

That's right. Instead of washing them when they were dirty,

he just turned them inside out and wore them again!

[Kids] Ew...

Guys, that's not true.

The only thing fly about Dylan are the ones circling

around his stinky feet!

So ask yourselves,

if Young Dylan can't even bother to do his own laundry,

how can we expect him to do right by this school?

Where'd you get that picture?

I used a computer to make it.

Oh. It's on, man!

[music]

I'm just saying...

This is the real Charlie Wilson!

How is Charlie expected to work on our behalf

if he's too busy getting kisses from his mommy?

[laughter]

You're not the only one with dirt, Cousin.

[Principal] Last thing, while I appreciate some of you

students wanting to read to the elderly for Senior Citizen Day,

I wanna make clear, I am not one of them!

[sighs] Well, it's a good thing we're already dressed

like senior citizens.

Why?

'Cause this is how old we'd be before we live this down.

[sighs]

Are those the Spirit Week shirts?

Go Fighting Fartans?

[laughing] That's so funny!

Are we a joke to you?

No. This is so cool.

Some students tried this prank two years ago and got busted.

How'd you pull it off?

I'll let my associate tell you more.

We handled it like bosses?

Awesome! Hey, everyone! Come look at this!

Fartans!

Fartans! [laughing]

[music]

Young Dylan is afraid of parrots!

Hey, I told you that in private, bro.

They're way too vocal,

but Charlie eats the butt of bread loaves!

Dylan is a Double Dutch fanatic!

Charlie gets pedicures!

[laughing]

Dylan does, too!

And he giggles!

[Kids] Ooh!

Hey, hey! Make sure y'all come to tomorrow's speeches.

I'm gonna unleash a diss rap that's gonna make Chuckles

do the opposite of chuckle!

I don't know about those two. They're a little shaky for me.

[clapping]

-Thank you. -For what?

You guys have been going at it so much

that it's turned people off of you both.

All I had to do is keep my mouth closed.

And now I'm ahead in the polls.

After tomorrow's final speeches, I'm gonna win for sure.

And then I'll make your lives miserable.

Unless you still wanna be friends, Dylan.

Hmm, that's gonna be a hard...

no!

Good. I'm just making sure we're on the same page.

[Principal] As we close out Spirit Week, students,

don't forget! We have an ice cream truck out front!

Mrs. Jones, you got my cone, right?

Legends.

-Wilson. -Wilson.

When you have an ace, you can't lose.

[applauding]

-He is the worst. -Naw, real rap.

-And his slogan is trash! -Right? [laughing]

Look, the Wilson Way is all about being mean

and telling secrets. Total anti-swag.

So say no to the Wilson Way. Vote the Ace Card!

[applauding]

That is not the Wilson Way. We have principles and honor.

You're about to have the honor of losing.

[sighs]

I started this race trying to do things the right way,

the Wilson Way.

I wanted every student to be heard

because I know what it's like to be silenced.

I know what it's like to be drowned out

by the louder voices in the room.

Boo!

But I failed.

I got too caught up in running for ambassador.

Instead of amplifying voices,

I tried to silence someone very important to me.

He's not just my cousin or my friend, he's my brother.

And for that, I'm sorry.

[applauding]

[sighs]

Look,

my speech was supposed to be a rap

taking shots at all my haters, Ace and Charlie.

But I think I'ma come off the dome and flow.

[music]

Woah! I told you. [laughs]

-I told you. -No, I told you.

No, you said that was--

Say what's up to your new ambassador!

I won the election!

-Oh! -Oh!

Congratulations, Mr. Ambassador! [Myles clapping]

All right, Charlie.

You know, I always said politics is important.

You learn community, responsibility and leadership.

-Really? -Mm-hmm.

You said that?

Yeah, some wise person said it.

Anyway, we're proud of you, Charlie.

We're proud of both of you.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Good job.

I knew you could do it, Chuckles.

Thanks, Dylan. I'm sorry this got so ugly.

I should never let my political ambitions get the best of me.

Nah, man. I'm sorry. I was so busy trying to win

that I didn't notice my voice was drowning yours out.

That was my bad. We're Wilsons.

Politics should never get in the way of our brotherhood.

[music]

[music]

Yo, I can't believe you got me here on a Saturday,

or as I call it, not a school day!

Principal Matthews said we had to get this place

back to normal for Monday.

As class ambassador, I will always do the right thing.

[farts]

That is so not the right thing!

Sorry. The celebratory pizza's got me in the spirit.

[farts]

Yo!

I guess the pizzas are still celebrating!

What can I say? I'm a Fighting Fartan!

[laughs]

Yo.

[farts]
