Original subtitles

[girl] Welcome to Seabrook.

We're a perfectly planned community.

[lawn motor running]

We all have perfect homes.

Perfect clothes.

The perfect life.

Yep, everything is perfect.

[children laughing]

[boy] Until it wasn't.

Who would have thought an accident

involving lime soda would set off the apocalypse?

[explosion]

[girl] And when the contaminated green haze blew west

people were not happy.

[boy] It turned them into...

[growling]

Zombies.

[screaming]

[girl] That's right. Zombies!

[news anchor] There is bedlam in Seabrook, monsters are attacking!

[screaming]

[boy] Brain-eating...

[growling]

Zombies.

Dark and gory times.

[girl] But we built a big barrier to protect us

from the zombie hordes.

Safe at last, Seabrook could finally get back to our perfect lives.

[boy] Well, a lot has changed

since they built the barrier 50 years ago.

Science found a much better way to deal with zombies.

You know what happened to those

old brain-eating monsters?

They still have to live on their side of the barrier,

but now they're awesome.

I'm Zed. And yeah, I'm a zombie.

Zombies have to wear government-issued coveralls.

But we make em look pretty cool.

And we have a curfew.

And for a long time we were forced to stay in Zombietown.

But we've come a long way since the outbreak

thanks to the z-band.

This puppy delivers a dose of soothing electromagnetic pulses

that keep us from eating brains.

Now zombies can live happy lives and have handsome,

yet humble, kids.

So things are changing.

Today's the first day we can attend human high school,

and I get to try out for the football team.

Go Seabrook!

Oh, yeah!

[grunting]

Give me an F, give me an I, give me an R-S-T!

It's the first day of freshman year for me, me, me!

[giggles]

Oh, hi.

I'm Addison and I have crushed cheer summer

after cheer summer of cheer camp.

But today's my shot at making the Seabrook cheer squad.

You make cheer and you fit in.

And why wouldn't I fit in?

I'm a totally normal teen.

Well, except for this.

Born with it.

Doctors can't explain it.

They think it's some rare genetic thing.

I can't dye it, nothing sticks.

I've tried everything.

In some places this hair might be odd

in, like, a cool way, but not at Seabrook.

People here hate anything that's different.

If anyone outside my family found out I wore a wig,

I would never be allowed to cheer.

So I've worn a wig for as long as I can remember.

[chatting]

That's my little sister, Zoey.

She really wants a dog

but zombies aren't allowed to have pets.

Some people still think we'll eat them.

[barking]

Come, Zed, come.

[panting]

[barking]

-Good boy. -Hey, son, try this.

Brains in a can.

It's made out of cauliflower.

And some for you,

my little zombie angel.

It tastes like gym sneakers, dad.

I know. How great is that?

Listen, Zed.

I'm not so sure about this whole football thing, you know?

It might be too much.

I mean, you're a great kid, it's just...

you haven't spent a whole lot of time around humans

and humans don't really like zombies.

That's cause they haven't met me yet.

[laughs]

[woof]

Cheer tryouts today!

I am way fired up.

You know that Seabrook's won

every cheer championship since... forever.

[whispers] Forever.

But now that the city council's having zombies

in our schools we need cheer more than ever.

As mayor, I beseech you.

You make that team and win that cheer championship.

Beseech me?

-Really, mom? -I get-- that was um...

-That was a bit much. -A bit much, I failed at that.

Nothing's gonna stop you, Addison.

As long as you keep that wig on.

Oh yes, of course. As long as you keep that wig on.

-Honey? -It's on. It's time.

-Oh. -Ready?

-[all] Go team! -Woo!

[all] Hi!

-[man] Hi Zed. -What's up?

Football!

-Hi. -Hi.

[♪ song playing]

♪ Go, go, go, go, go ♪

♪ Go, go, go, go ♪

Yeah, yeah.

[screams]

Do we need to take a trip downtown?

No, officer.

We're all good.

[speaking zombie]

No, hey. She does not want a hug.

Can't let those monsters change this town, cuz.

Ew.

They're just going to school like us.

Like us?

People love me, okay?

I got jazz hands.

Those freaks are nothing like us.

They tried to eat our grandfather.

It was just a small... bite.

Cheer tryouts today after school.

Let's go, Mighty Shrimp!

[squeals]

Go, bottom feeders!

You know, cause Shrimp.

They eat waste of the ocean at the bottom? No?

Woo! Go Seabrook!

Hi, I'm Bree and I've always dreamed of being

on the cheer squad because I really want to be a flyer...

tossed high in the sky.

Nice to meet you. I'm Addison.

I love cheer, too.

Did you know the creator of the wave--

[both] Went to Seabrook?

-Yes! -That is so amazing!

I can't wait to try out for cheer!

Okay, let's go.

Come on, you guys, we're in a real school.

No more classes in a dingy basement.

[speaking zombie]

You were saying?

I'm Principal Lee.

We are thrilled to be forced to have...

[squeals] you here.

Do not leave the basement.

Have a great year.

-Principal Lee? -Okay.

I was just wondering...

how do I try out for the football team?

And the computer coding club?

[speaking zombie]

Right. Music class.

Bonzo's an artist.

He's classically trained.

[plays tuba]

[singing] ♪ Ahh, ahh, ahhhhhh ♪

Oh, yeah, okay, zip it.

Let me ask you this.

Do any of these include leaving the basement?

Well...

yeah. I guess.

Then I guess you don t.

So no tryouts for you.

I'm sorry. I don't mean it.

Have a great day. That's just an expression.

Excuse me.

Okay, let's do some grammar or something.

This is supposed to be chemistry.

Look, 45 minutes ago I was a janitor, kid, so bear with me.

What am I doing?

I'm on my way to football tryouts.

Woah.

Yeah, I know it's a high-risk move,

but I got smarts and stealth on my side.

-[clank] -[groans] Arg!

Rogue zombie!

-[screams] -Wait, what?

[alarm sounding]

Wait...

[kids screaming]

It's going to be fine, you don't have to...

worry about it.

There! Zombie!

[kids screaming]

Stay calm!

Everything's okay!

There's no fire!

-Fire? -Bonzo, there's no fire!

There's no fire!

Look, we've come way too far to still be afraid of... fire.

-Fire! -Bonzo!

Okay, everybody, against the wall! Let's go!

These drills are offensive and driven by zombie phobia.

No talking. Against the wall!

Fire!

[screaming]

Okay, I know this is scary, Bree,

but there's a zombie safe room right there.

It's gonna be okay.

[screams]

[automated voice] Zombie safe room secure.

Hello?

Hello?

Why, hello.

Don't get any ideas, buster.

The only thing more deadly than my high kick is my low kick.

I'm sorry.

This just isn't how I was expecting my first day

at a new school to go.

Weren't expecting to be trapped in a zombie safe room?

Oh, no, that I expected.

That happens to me all the time.

It's sorta my thing.

[laughs]

So I'm not gonna get low kicked?

You're safe, for now.

Good.

[laughs]

Cause today's a big day.

I'm trying out for the football team.

Well, we're both having big days.

I'm trying out for the cheer squad.

That's a tough gig to get.

Yeah, but I love it.

My parents have had me in cheer camp since forever.

My dad doesn't even think I'm gonna make the team.

What?

No, sure you will.

You just need someone to cheer for you.

And soon, fingers crossed, it'll be, like, my job.

So...

I'm Zed. What's your name?

Addison. Nice to meet you.

-[automated voice] Clear. -[screams] Zombie!

-[slap] -[groans]

Wha-- Zed, I'm so sorry.

My parents have always taught me that zombies

are disgusting dead-eyed freaks but...

you're not hideous at all.

Thanks. I'll take it.

My parents have hated zombies since one bit my grandpa's ear off.

But now we'll just talk your ear off.

There you are!

-Ew! -Nasty!

Zombie germs.

If you ever touch my cousin again it won't be pretty.

Which, as you can see, is off-brand for me.

To the cheer tryouts.

Seabrook awaits. [snaps]

Progress.

We're making progress.

Okay, welcome to football tryouts.

As you know, this town is a cheerleading town

cause this town likes to win.

And our football team is awful,

so we are not going to win this year,

and I'm probably gonna lose my job.

Good news for you, though.

Y'all made the team, whoopie.

Yes! I made it!

-Except for the zombie. -What?

Principal said you shouldn't leave the basement. She didn't tell you?

No. Mmm-mmm.

Don't think so.

I think I would have remembered that.

Come on, let me be on the team.

Can't have a zombie on the field, we'd look like a laughing stock.

Besides, I'm no trailblazer.

You know, I'm more of a follower.

I'm not even good at that, so...

[bell ringing]

Football is stupid, anyway.

Wow, thanks for the pep talk.

[speaking zombie]

[laughing]

Ha! Very funny.

I think that cheerleader likes me.

The one that punched you? In the face?

Yeah. I think there's something there.

Look. Humans are bad, but cheerleaders are monsters.

Things need to change.

[blows whistle]

Okay, let's go!

Line up.

Welcome to cheerleading tryouts.

It's nice to see so many... wannabes.

I mean, we'd wanna be us too if we weren't already on the cheer squad.

[laughing]

You need to bring it, okay?

Like my assistant captains.

First up we have Stacey.

-[applause] -Lacey.

And Tracey.

The Aceys.

[cheering]

Today's tryouts are going to be easy.

The hardest thing you'll do is a back handspring,

funky chicken, round-off match table split with a robot down powering finish.

Afraid?

Yes, Addison?

Captain Bucky, was that funky chicken cajun

or shake-n-bake?

Well, I've never heard of cajun, so spice it up.

We got this.

The Mighty Shrimp don't think small.

Cheer until it hurts.

[claps]

[♪ song playing]

You guys got moves.

But can you win over a crowd?

Get them to worship you.

Like they worship me!

[cheers]

Addy! Who am I fooling?

Bucky's never gonna let me on the team. He'll clip my wings.

I'm never gonna fly.

[song continues]

[sobbing]

[student 1] You don't have what it takes.

[student 2] You will never be a shrimp.

[cheering]

Welcome to the Mighty Shrimp.

Welcome to the Mighty Shrimp.

Wear our colours with pride.

Thank you! Thank you so much!

[student 3] Let's go girl!

[student 4] Let's go Addison!

Hey, cuz.

Bree over there has great moves and serious pep.

Seabrook is all about precision.

Perfection.

She can't hide under a wig like some people.

Pretty please?

[sighs]

Bree!

You have some real... potential.

You made the squad. As a stand-in.

So I'm on the team? I'm in!

I'm on the team.

I made it!

People love cheer.

That's what makes me so important and I hate to see that change.

Change is upon us now that zombies have entered our school.

Cheer is being threatened.

C-H-E-E... are you ready to protect it?

Let the cheer initiation begin!

Wow.

Zombietown.

[Zed's Dad] Zoey!

Dinner!

Wow.

Every year, for cheer initiation,

we like to remind zombies

that we don't accept freaks in this town.

Egg that zombie house and you're both officially one of us.

Oh.

-What? -No. We can't do that.

You look lost.

[screams]

Everything okay out here?

Zed?

Anybody there?

Uh, no.

Nobody.

Come on back inside, then.

Are zombies always this harassed?

I had no idea life was like this for them.

Come on.

[Principal Lee] Cheer season is here, cheer followers.

So let's rally our cheerleaders at the pep rally today.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, what's up, cuz?

Zombies are students at Seabrook too, Bucky.

Picking on them isn't right.

Zombies distract people from what's really important.

Like cheer, us... me.

But we can't go around tormenting them.

It's best if you don t question things.

Pep rally today, cuz.

You're gonna rock it.

Yeah, Bonzo. In addition to getting rejected from football,

I met a cheerleader. I thought she was cool.

I thought she was different. I thought she was the one.

But I was wrong. Cheerleaders are all terrible.

Hey, wha-- there's no human students in the basement.

Uh, someone yakked in the cafeteria.

Oh, right.

Still the janitor.

Wow. This is... awful.

We would have cleaned but the teacher is territorial about his mop.

Sorry.

It's fine.

Addison, what're you doing here?

Apologizing.

My cousin, he's a jerk about zombies

and last night was cheer initiation.

Not that that's a good excuse.

I'm so sorry.

Well, what if Bucky sees us talking?

We'll make sure he doesn't.

Uh, see you at the pep rally this afternoon?

Zombies don't do pep rallies.

We'll think about it.

Can we crack a window open here?

It stinks of human.

[sniffs]

Of course Zed's not coming.

I mean, zombies at a pep rally would be serious drama.

There's zombies at the pep rally!

They wouldn't dare.

Stacey, Lacey, Tracey, bust out the spirit sticks.

I can't believe you dragged us here to see Cheery McCheerstein.

I'm gonna be sick. Do I look green?

-Greener than usual? -[grunts]

[♪ uplifting music begins]

[cheering]

Bucky! Bucky! Bucky!

[cheering]

Welcome to the Seabrook High cheer rally!

[cheering]

It is gonna be a great year.

We are gonna win the state cheer championship again.

[cheering]

[cheering in zombie]

Come on, Eliza, ease up.

Cheer is contagious.

So is pink eye.

Fire!

It's gonna be fine! Don't worry.

[groans]

Bonzo, no! Stop!

[groans]

Bonzo!

Addison!

Wow!

[cheering]

Hey.

You. Me. We gotta talk.

He went through our offensive linemen like they were scrawny freshmen!

Principal Lee, I can explain.

Pa-ta-pa-ta.

Coach wants you on his team.

Really?

Yeah.

With a monster like-- monster player like you

we can'turn the football team around.

And with fan support maybe I can keep my job.

Move out of my parent's basement.

Get a cat. Get a gym membership.

Turn it all around.

It sounds so dreamy.

I need you on the team, Zed.

Can you just give me a second to think about it?

-Yeah, sure. -Cool.

-We're cool? -Pull it together.

We're cool.

Who's the zombie? I'm the zombie!

And this zombie's playin some ball!

I can only agree if there are some changes.

Full integration for all zombies.

Oh, excuse me.

There's only one little problem.

You haven't won a game yet.

That's a mere technicality.

Could you throw my star player a bone?

Not literally.

Okay, look.

In good faith I will allow zombies to eat in the cafeteria.

And once you start racking in those wins

then we'll talk about those other demands, all right?

-Yeah, deal. -Deal.

[laughing]

-I'll see you at practice. -See ya, coach.

-Deal. -Principal Lee, get in here.

Oh, gosh.

-You're the best. -Am I? Oh.

[Principal Lee] Hello, students.

This is Principal Lee. As you may have heard,

zombie students are now allowed to eat in the cafeteria.

[crowd mumbles]

Ugh! Just deal with it!

The human cafeteria.

Wow, Zed.

You really delivered.

Our very own lunch table in the darkest corner

under cheap fluorescent lights and by the trash cans.

I know.

It's perfect.

Living large and in charge.

I love the thought of flying through the air.

Oh my-- oxygen is so overrated.

And so is dirt.

Ugh, I hate doing the dishes, but it's like I love soap.

Isn't it weird?

Addy?

Are you okay, Addy?

My heart's racing and my palms are sweaty.

Oh no, you have the flu.

No, it's Zed.

Wait, you like like him? You like like a zombie?

Wow. That's bad, right?

Really bad.

My parents would so freak out.

Are we still friends?

Hello.

I have your back no matter what.

It's just, I don't want anybody to break your heart.

Or devour it.

But this is great. I mean, look.

I swear on all that I hold dear, mostly glitter lip balm,

I will tell nobody. It's cool.

Well, nothing's going to happen.

He probably doesn t even remember my name.

Addison!

Well, I can't be rude.

No, Ad-- no--

Hi.

Um, as they say in old zombie tongue,

gazar nady garzane garsick.

I looked it up on the internet.

Um, you just thanked me for rubbing peanut butter

-on your umbrella. -[laughing]

Oh, um... I meant... welcome to the cafeteria.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Okay, why is Perky Von Cheerstick here?

The point of having our own table is to avoid humans.

I just wanted to thank Zed for rescuing me from the--

excuse me.

You know you're talking to zombies?

I'm fighting against intolerance.

Oh. I fought mine by eliminating dairy.

Uh, zombie intolerance.

Okay, look.

You're cousin is not gonna be happy

you're paling around with zombies.

Cheerleaders don't support freaks.

Oh right, Bucky said there was something different about you.

I can see that now.

No, I-- I'm not different.

Your smile.

Is that an overbite?

Is one leg longer than the other?

Do you wear corrective lenses?

No. No, no. I'm not different.

I'm the samest person you've ever met.

Hanging with zombies can be hazardous.

You could end up at the reject table like-- [snaps] That.

[French accent] Ah, ze perfect picnic spot.

[laughs]

Sorry I couldn't sit with you at lunch.

I wanted to, it's just-- everyone is--

I get it. Some day, maybe.

Thanks for saving me at the pep rally.

Are you kidding? It worked out for everyone.

I'm gonna be on the football team, and if things go well

zombies will be more accepted.

And we could, like, hang out in public.

Wouldn't that be something?

This town. This school.

It's-- it's hard not fitting in.

How would you know?

You're perfect.

It's a wig.

My real hair is freakish and I-- I can't change it.

-Well, can I see it? -Never.

Sorry.

My parents always made me cover my hair.

And they're right.

Cause now I'm on the squad and-- and I fit in.

[student] Are you coming to the meeting?

This is where we first met.

This is where we had our first punch.

[laughs]

[♪ song playing]

[bell rings]

-Good luck at the football game. -Yeah, yeah, it'll be awesome.

Woo! Yes!

[blows whistle]

-[cheering] -You want a piece of me?

All right boys, we got this.

There's no I in team, okay?

But there is an I in zombie--

okay, that's not the point.

Let's go, Seabrook!

Hey, be my guest.

-The zombie's all yours. -Uh-huh.

Set! Hut!

-[groans] -[announcer] Oh, that hurts.

-Ow. -Oh, zombie down!

Let's go! Five, six, seven, eight!

[announcer] It's third and long for Seabrook. Really long.

The Mighty Shrimp are doing what they do best. Losing.

Come on, Zed.

Ooooh!!!

Aaah!

At least the cheerleaders are amazing.

Go Seabrook! Go Seabrook!

Go Seabrook!

We don't clap for cheerleaders.

[whistle blows]

[announcer] It's halftime

and the Mighty Shrimp are getting barbecued, skewered, fried and flayed.

Here's what you need to do, okay?

I'm gonna draw this once. Pay attention.

All you have to do.

Move forward.

Move all the way forward.

Don't go back. There's nothing back here.

This is empty. You don't need to go back here.

You need to go up here.

The end zone is up there.

Just go-- just move it up.

Just move. Just do something.

Look, I know we're gonna lose, all right?

And you knew it, too.

So let's just go out there and lose better?

Go team.

Doggone if you didn't get me dreaming of winning, huh?

Oh, shame on me.

What is happening out there?

I-- I don't know, coach. Maybe it's team chemistry,

but honestly I'm not sure the team

is actually blocking for me.

Hey, Zed.

I thought we had a deal.

You didn't keep your end of it. Hmm?

So win this game or it's back to the basement.

Oh, hey coach, great idea.

Now people hate us and we're losing.

What happened to that brute strength I saw at the pep rally?

-Oh, my z-band was-- -Great! Use that!

-Take it and use it. -No, I can't. Coach, no, I can't.

Yeah, no, I'm sorry. I'm not letting you talk me into doing this.

I just need a little zomboost, okay?

Like what happened at the pep rally.

Because that wasn't almost a total disaster?

Yeah, no, I'm not doing it.

Look, you already jail broke your z-band

-to play video games. -This is different, okay?

This is ludicrously dangerous.

If I win this game, that's good for us.

And that's good for zombies, and isn't that what we need?

-[typing] -Woah. Way too zombie.

Ugh, too human.

Okay, just a little bit more.

There. perfect.

-That's it? -That's it.

Never swipe to the right, okay?

That'll corrupt the software. Only left.

-Never right. Got it? -Got it.

Hey. If you smell smoke, stop, drop, and roll.

[cheering]

-[whistle blows] -Like coach said, we can do this.

So let's do this!

Let's go Mighty Shrimp!

Break on five.

[player] Yeah, I don't think so.

Okay.

[roar]

Ten! Hut!

[♪ punk song playing]

[cheering]

Too easy!

[screaming] Go Zed!

-Dumb luck. -Yeah! That's my son!

Yeah!

[screaming] Go Zed!

[song continues]

Feel that breeze? It's not a sneeze!

Zombies score and run with ease!

Woo!

What're you doing?

Cheering.

The football team hasn't won since forever.

But we can change that.

I bet the whole squad cheering together

could lead the football team to victory.

You know what?

That whole idealistic kind of positive attitude

has no place in cheer.

So stop.

[cheering]

[announcer] Seabrook wins? Wow, a win!

-[cheering] -Way to go, Zed!

[cheering]

Let's go, Mighty Shrimp!

Wow, you were amazing.

Thanks. Awesome cheers.

Life is good.

[Principal Lee] And another win for our football team,

thanks to zombie Zed.

So be sure to show some zombie pride.

Oh yeah, and tickets are now on sale for next week's cheer championship.

So get yours today.

Let's go hang with the zombies.

I'm gonna go.

Can you believe these zombies?

-They're actually cool. -I know...

Being liked is so weird.

You're either pro-cheerleader or pro-zombie.

Decide now.

Wait, what?

-You don't know how hard I-- -What's it gonna be?

I...

I wanna be a cheerleader.

That's all I ever wanted.

Good.

Hey, Addison!

The zombie trend will pass.

They're not going to win another game.

You're gonna love this.

Ok.

Let's do this.

Are you okay?

You don't look so hot.

Ouch.

No, you know what I meant.

I have to mess with my z-band to win games.

Isn't that dangerous?

Addison, if I don't win zombies will never be accepted.

I know how that feels.

[♪ hip hop music playing]

Are you serious?

It's a chance to get loose and be ourselves!

So this whole celebration is for you winning football games?

It's more than that.

It's a win for all of us.

And we really needed a win.

It's zombie tongue.

We have a rich language.

23 different words for brains.

Woah.

So, you like a girl with brains?

[laughs]

You know that's super offensive.

Oh, no, no, no. It was just a joke.

I don't know.

The z-band hack really hurts.

I can barely feel my wrist.

Zor?

I'll be fine buddy, don't worry about it.

Ah. Okay, Bonzo, my arm.

[Zoey] I'm crazy, I'm cute.

Zombie to boot.

I'm rockin', I smile.

Zombies aren't vile.

Yay!

That's some great cheering.

I wasn't doing anything.

Certainly not cheering.

Please don't tell anyone.

You're Zed's little sister, right?

I'm Zoey.

You're Addison.

[chuckles]

When I cheer it makes me happy.

Me too. You're great at cheerleading, Zoey.

Thanks, but my pet Zandor doesn't seem that impressed.

Well, he should be.

But I think you're old enough to have a real pet.

Wouldn't that be awesome?

Stop teasing her.

You know they don't allow zombies to have pets.

I didn't know that.

I'm still learning that zombies aren't what I was taught.

I mean, look at you.

You're smart, cool, pretty.

You think I'm pretty?

Yeah. [chuckles]

There you are.

Zoey, woah, what're you doing here?

Please. I'm not gonna miss a zombie mash.

-Zoey-- -Come on.

Who's a good boy?

[woof]

[panting] Me.

Good boy. Good boy.

All right, I'll take you home.

Zed's gotta make sure Addison gets outta here.

We should hang out, Eliza.

And I really like your boots.

Oh, thanks. They're orthotic.

I got this draggy foot thing going on, so...

[laughs]

-She's cool. -Yeah, for a human, right?

She's just cool.

You guys look good together.

Hey!

Don't forget Zander.

[giggles]

See ya.

Bye.

Wow, what is this place?

It's a zombie-light garden.

It's beautiful.

Where are we going?

For a walk in the park.

[♪ song playing]

It's beautiful.

You're beautiful.

[man] Zombies, show yourselves! You're out past curfew!

Curfew?

Zombie, please turn around.

Addison?

Gus?

What're you doing here?

This is a hot bed for zombie activity. It's not safe for humans.

Come on, let's get you home.

You snuck out? Addison.

Do you know how dangerous it is out there?

I'm gonna go, chief.

This town is full of monstrous zombies.

What were you up to?

I...

-I was out with a boy. -Oh boy.

I'll just leave, chief.

Hey.

Now who exactly is this boy? Hmm?

-Well? -Well?

Goodnight, chief. Ah.

You won't cheer and there will be no championship until we meet this boy.

Right. No cheer championships--

Honey, I know-- I'm not changing my mind.

Ah.

We need to meet this boy, Addison,

or you'll never cheer again.

Right, Gus?

Goodnight, chief.

[Principal Lee] All right, Mighty Shrimps, today is the day we've been waiting for.

It's the Homecoming game!

Look, I'm all for trampling the system and the opposing team

but you've gotta stop messing with your z-band. It's not safe.

It's just one more game.

And then no more hacking your z-band?

Yeah. Totally.

Come here.

Zed's cheating.

-He's been hacking his-- -Z-band.

[snaps]

Addison.

Last night, I wanted to help when the patrol arrived

but I was just-- I was afraid--

Zed, it's not your fault.

The big problem is my parents won't let me cheer

until they meet you.

Great. I'll just win them over with my quick wit and charming smile.

No, not great.

They don't know you're a zombie.

And they hate zombies.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

For making things difficult for you.

No, no. You haven't done anything wrong besides being you.

And you're great.

You know what? If my family can't accept zombies,

maybe I don't wanna be a cheerleader.

But you love cheer.

It's what makes you, you.

I wish I could just flip a switch and change everything.

But I can't.

I have to go, I'm late for class.

Flip a switch.

How is Zed winning these football games?

Cheer spirits.

Glory to all that is firecracker, firecracker,

shish boom bah.

Send me a sign so that my perfectly toned body

can stop zombies from stealing our spotlight.

We know how to stop Zed!

He's been hacking his z-band.

It's all about Eliza.

She's using her computer to do it.

Shish boom bah.

A spa date. All of us.

Hanging.

We've been so wrong about zombies this whole time.

Yeah. I mean, with some concealer, blush, contour, highlight

and a little bit of hair dye, you could look cute.

And I mean, when was the last time you pampered yourself?

Yeah, giggling over make-up and doing each other's toenails?

No sale.

Uh, you like computers, right?

My mom just set up a full VR room.

VR?

Okay, I don't wanna discriminate against humans

so in a way it'd be wrong for me not to take you up on your offer.

-Um, yeah. -I'm in.

On second thought, maybe not.

Maybe next time.

Ugh. I can't access it.

There's a firewall on Eliza's computer.

We have to get in and show everyone that Zed's a monster.

Try harder!

-[bone cracks] -Not that hard.

So Eliza told me not to swipe right, but no risk, no reward.

This is gonna hurt.

[Zed screaming]

[gasps]

Something happened. Software is corrupted! We're in!

I can't do this anymore.

There's something you need to know.

-Okay. Now we're getting somewhere. -Now we're getting somewhere.

-He s-- -[doorbell rings]

Here.

Woah, woah. You do not wanna open that.

-Where are your manners? -Don't be ridiculous.

Okay, fine. Open it.

Yes, my date to the homecoming game is--

Handsome.

-You look-- -Dashing.

Uh, thank you. They're beautiful.

So, how do you know my daughter?

She's a cheerleader. I'm on the football team.

-Oh, really? -Really.

I used to play a little ball.

-He did. -Really?

Really. I was a full back.

-Get out. I'm a full back. -No.

Yeah.

Let's do this.

[together] Let's go Mighty Shrimp!

Break! On five!

-That was amazing. -That's what I'm talking about.

-We're gonna go. -Nice meeting you.

-Addison. He is such a nice boy. -Such a nice boy.

Where did you dig him up?

I'll see you at the game.

-How did you-- -I adjusted my z-band.

I can feel the energy coursing through my bones right now, it's awesome.

Hey, we still got time before the game

and I owe you a real date.

-A date? [squeals] -Yep.

Like I said, a proper date.

Wow.

[groans]

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm all good.

Eliza was wrong. Nothing bad happened, I'm completely fine.

After you.

Thanks.

Vanilla... Vanilla...

Double vanilla.

-Can you guess the last one? -Vanilla.

-How'd you know? -You guys got a wide variety.

Of vanilla.

[waitress] Here you go.

-Thank you. -[waitress] You're welcome.

This is so Seabrook.

Hey, you know what?

-Vanilla works. -[laughs]

I've always wanted to come here.

Now finally here I am, with you, on a date.

This is so great.

Hey?

Is it, Zed?

Yeah. Look at us. We're together.

You're forced to be someone you're not.

Here, and on the football field.

So? You wear a wig to fit in.

Why can't I do the same thing with my z-band? Why is that so bad?

Because it's not right.

We're changing ourselves but what needs to change is everybody else.

Addy, we're gonna make this work, okay?

Everything's great.

Trust me.

I'll dial myself back to zombie mode and win the game.

Take your pom poms out there today, Bree.

But I'm not a starter.

Who says?

It's time things changed around here.

[whistle blows]

[announcer] It's been a season to remember

and it all comes down to the final seconds

of this year's homecoming game.

[whistle blows]

Time out! Time out!

[announcer] Unbelievable!

Mighty Shrimp are down by five.

They call their final time out.

Bring it in, guys. Bring it in.

Dare to dream, gentlemen.

We can win this.

I could keep my job.

Buy slacks that aren't sweatpants.

Maybe even win back my ex-wife.

She likes the slacks.

Okay? Let's do this!

-Ready? -Yes please!

[all] Let's go Mighty Shrimp! Break! On five!

-Woo! -Yeah!

Hustle out there! Remember the slacks!

Wow, people really love Zed.

It's almost like he's one of us.

He is one of us.

You're right.

He is.

Hey.

-You okay? -Yeah.

Yeah, uh, almost there.

I do this and we win.

[man] Addison?

Oh, I have to go.

But I'll be cheering for you.

[man] Addison?

[cheering]

Give me a zom !

-[crowd] Zom! -Addison.

-Give me a bie! -[crowd] Bie!

Mmm-mm-mm-mm...

You are way too good of a cheerleader to throw your life away, Addison.

I'm cheering for a change, Bucky.

Don't do it.

Give me a zom !

[crowd] Zom!

Addison.

Give me a bie !

[crowd] Bie!

I'm warning you.

What does that spell?

[crowd] Zombie!

Last chance.

-What does that spell? -You're off the team, you freak!

Go zombies!

Go team!

[cheering]

You're off the squad, too!

[cheering]

[typing]

Stage one is done.

[announcer] Fifty yards to go and three seconds on the clock.

The Mighty Shrimp need one touchdown to win.

It's not working.

The software's been corrupted. How?

[speaking zombie]

Zed, what did you do?

Okay, I can still do this.

Even as regular old me I can do this.

-Hut! -[cheering]

[announcer] Touchdown!

Seabrook wins the game!

I did it! Yes! Touchdown!

-Stage two. -Stage two.

Initiated.

Initiated.

[snarling]

[alarm sounding]

Okay, excuse me. Excuse me.

Stage three.

Bonzo and Eliza.

[alarm sounding]

[snarling]

[crowd screaming]

My plan is working.

I thought of everything.

Great. So how do we stop the monster from eating our brains?

[snarling]

Didn't think of that.

[crowd screaming]

[snarling]

[crowd screaming]

Together we can take them.

Yep, totally.

[snarling]

She's much tastier.

[screams]

[snarling]

No!

Zed! Zed, Zed, Zed. Take my hand.

Everything will be okay.

Where are you taking him?

No, please.

Zed, please come back.

No! Please.

Addison, stay back.

No! No!

Hey! Hey!

-Threat neutralized. Bringing them in. -Gus!

Hey! These are my friends.

We don't have human friends.

We told you, Addy. Zombies are not safe.

-Give them an inch-- -And they'll bite your face off.

-They'll bite your face off. -Hey!

That's my son you're talking about!

I suggest you move along, Mr. Necrodopolous.

I'll make sure they look after him. I'm sorry.

-Come on. -Zed, please!

Addy, I'm sorry.

Maybe they're right. Maybe we shouldn't be together.

What? No. Don't say that.

Stop!

[crowd booing]

Hey!

You did this to him.

All of you.

He was your monster!

You made him feel like he had to risk his life to belong!

Because you couldn't deal with someone different!

But you had no problem using him

to win your stupid game!

[♪ song playing]

[booing]

All right, get out.

We spent some time in zombie containment.

Not fun.

But it's all my fault.

I thought I was doing something right by doing something wrong.

But now all zombies are getting software updates.

No more tweaking them.

Sweet. Eliza, they have wifi now.

Too soon?

Cheerleaders steal my computer, sabotage everything,

yet zombies get the blame.

It was stupid of us to think humans were gonna change.

We tried doing it the nice way,

now it's time to do it my way. We'll have a zombie uprising.

Force them to make us equal or we tear it all down.

I've been waiting my whole life, all right? I'm sick of waiting.

Your father and I have been so worried.

What were you thinking?

Hey?

You could have died adjusting your z-band, Zed.

You don't have to change who you are, son.

-I love who you are. -Yeah, but they don't.

Let's get inside.

With the cheer championship a few hours away,

Bucky is purging anyone who isn't anti-zombie.

And that's a lot of people.

What is this? Huh?

Zombie flare?

You're cut!

Oh.

Look at this.

More zombie apparel.

You're cut!

Thank you!

This isn't good.

Bucky, what're you doing?

Don't doubt me.

We are cheerleaders.

We are flawless.

And that is why we will be perfect

at the cheer championship tonight.

So we are going to start at the beginning and go over it.

Over and over.

Get into position!

I can't believe they're sending us back to zombie-only school.

They say it's temporary but Eliza didn't show up to school to clean out her locker.

You got all of her stuff, right?

[speaking zombie]

Eliza's gonna sabotage something?

-Ya. -What?

[speaking zombie]

-The cheer championship. -Ya.

Well, come on. We gotta stop her!

[announcer] It's been a tremendous day here at the Regional Cheer Championships.

-[♪ upbeat music playing] -[people cheering]

And we've already seen a number of high-flying performances.

You could say they've been cheer-tastic.

Well, you can say that. I wouldn't.

It's a-- it's a made up word, so...

[cheering]

We're up next.

-How will this work? -We're not even half a team.

We'll be great.

I can feel it in my gut.

It feels like a pit in my stomach.

Well, that is not good, Bucky.

We're gonna crush this.

[snaps]

[cheering]

I've always dreamed of cheering here.

Just soaring in the air as the crowd roared.

Flying higher than anyone's ever flown.

That was a stupid dream.

No. You will fly.

Some day.

As soon as this town gets over itself.

I thought your parents didn't want you out in public with your real hair.

They don't. But they can't make me hide it anymore.

I'm not leaving this seat.

No way.

My dad's whole patrol couldn't get me out of this seat.

[Zed] I don't know, Bonzo. She has to be here somewhere.

There!

-It's Zed! -Hmm?

Um, I'm gonna leave my seat.

-Go! Go! -Okay!

Hey! No, no, no, no, no. Put that away!

Stop. Stop. Everybody stop.

Ow! Get off of me, you big lug!

-Eliza, you can't do this. -What?

Enjoy the championship with some fellow zombies?

[speaking zombie]

Sabotage?

Wow.

I'm deeply offended.

I'd never.

Okay, maybe just a little sabotage.

Ruining the cheer championship is only gonna prove their worst fears.

That zombies are monsters.

They think that anyway.

At least you have the guts to stand up for yourself.

I say do it.

Okay, you know what? You're not gonna change my mind.

Wait, you agree with me?

Okay, I like this girl.

Sabotage isn't the zombie way.

It's not who we are. It's not who you are.

I'm not a monster. I'm a zombie.

You're a cheerleader.

You're not gonna change the world through sabotage.

You change the world through cheer.

Okay, um, so no sabotage?

No sabotage, Eliza.

That's not who I am.

That's not who we are.

Seabrook's up next!

[cheering]

Put your hands together for our defending champions,

a team that needs no introduction--

But since we're doing it anyway,

it might as well be over-blown and flashy.

Here are the almighty, outtasighty Seabrook Shrimp

that are mighty!

[cheering]

♪ Go Seabrook! ♪

♪ Go Mighty Shrimps! ♪

♪ Go Seabrook! ♪

The sweetest type of sabotage.

Self-sabotage.

[laughing]

Seconds in and Seabrook is literally falling apart.

Get off the stage, Bucky!

What's that sound?

I- I think they're booing us.

Oh, there seems to be technical difficulties

with Seabrook's audio track.

You have one job.

Let's go Seabrook Cheer!

Get off the stage, zombie!

[cheering]

[crowd booing]

What is she doing?

She's changing things. By cheering.

But that's not how change works.

You can't change things with one person and pom poms.

Yeah, you're right.

It's gonna take more than just one person.

It's gonna take all of us.

Like they'll ever see us as normal.

They won't.

Because we're not normal.

And they need to see that.

Zombies celebrate their differences.

So let's go out there and celebrate.

Cheer championship style.

You guys in?

Za.

So this is a revolution?

Yeah, this is our revolution.

Does it have to be cheer, though?

Come on.

Bucky, things can change.

Look, change is happening, Bucky.

And we're not going away.

So you can either fight us and lose

or you can be a part of it.

I can't.

I guess we need a new captain.

All right, here's the plan.

We're gonna let our freak flags fly.

[cheering]

[announcer] Zombies and cheerleaders are on the floor together!

You are watching history unfold.

[♪ song playing]

They're good, right?

Yeah.

The only thing they're missing

is the best cheerleader I ever saw.

I'm good.

-So are you. -I know.

[cheering]

Cheer-tastic!

Cheer-tastic, indeed!

[laughing]

Who'd have thought that a zombie and a cheerleader--

Could change the world and have a happily ever after?

Gar-garziga.

Yeah.

I gar-gargiza you, too.

Go Seabrook!

[cheering]

[Zed] We didn't win the cheer championship.

[Addison] But we did something better.

[Zed] We brought everyone together and we threw an awesome block party.

[Addison] Even my parents came.

Hey Zoey, look what Addison got you.

A puppy! My very own puppy!

Zander, this is puppy.
