[shrieks] Bridget!
God, I am going to kill you!

- Mom.
- Talk to your father.

- Daddy, help me.
- Bride of Chucky's after Barbie.

My life is over and no one cares,
because why should they?

I'm just the middle child,
eternally ignored.

And... save.

- What's wrong, Kerry?
- [sighs]

I have this video journal
to do for school

and Bridget taped over my project.
It's ruined.

- Bridget?
- OK.

I'm going to a party with Kyle
and bought pleather pants.

I wasn't sure if they looked real,
mirrors lie,

so I taped myself dancing from behind
to see what I look like

before asking for permission,
which is very thoughtful.

- Cate?
- Oh, come on, Paul. I made breakfast.

And the kids.

Dad, I worked really hard
on this project, and now look.

I look hot in my hot new pants

In my hot new pants
I'm dancing around, looking really good

You want me
I look hot

In my pants
Look at me go

I'm dancin'

Oh, God, I'm so at that party.

I shouldn't have seen that.
I'm the father.

- Dad!
- OK, sweetie, I don't know what to do.

Can't you just, you know,
tape whatever it was again?

Sure. I'll ask God if he can make
that meteor shower again.

It's only visible every 60 years,

but maybe he'll make an exception,
you know, for Bridget's butt.

So, we're good?

- [grunts]
- In the cabinet under my sink.

No, not that!
Don't you understand?

My project is due
in less than one week

and all I've got so far
is Bridget's butt.

Why don't you do your video on Bridget?
You've already got the end.

That's why you're the dad.

- My main man, Rory.
- Can I get a monkey?

I am not having
the monkey conversation again.

- But Dad...
- They do not pay for themselves.

Paul, I disagree.

OK, but you'll have to take care of it.

No, no, about Bridget being
in Kerry's video.

But that... I was just joking.
Yeah, right, "the end." Come on.

Hilarious.

I thought I told you to shovel the walk.

A couple guys are doing it for me.

- Can I have cocoa?
- They're doing it for cocoa?

Oh, yeah, I should get them some, too.

My God, a glimpse into Bridget world!

She would be the perfect subject
for my video.

Thank you, Daddy.
Your idea is inspired.

- You're welcome.
- I thought you were joking.

I was serious.
Cate, you don't get me at all, do you?

- I don't want to do that.
- Since you ruined your sister's video,

- you're gonna make up by helping her.
- Paul, a minute for rebuttal?

Cate, come here.

Come here.

Yeah, this is much better.
They'll never hear us over here.

Did you hear what Kerry said?
I inspired her.

I inspired the uninspirable.

Honey, you teamed up
Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote.

Yes, they're sisters and they love
each other, but in small increments.

Perhaps my little pebble of inspiration

can cause a ripple effect
into the pond...

Oh, for the love of God.
Be my guest. Go on.

Kids, after a long discussion,

your mother and I
have reached an agreement.

- I live with Dad.
- I live with Mom.

I'll have my own apartment. You can
visit. Call first, please don't show up.

As Bridget's punishment,
she will be in Kerry's video.

- Fine. Whatever.
- Make her the center of attention.

That'll teach her.

It's great. I'm gonna do my video
on what life is like for Bridget.

How the beautiful people
have it so much easier.

It's time someone exposed the hypocrisy.

Right. Persecute the beautiful.
What is it, the Crusades all over again?

That's not what the Crusades were about.

- Oh. What am I thinking of?
- Cocoa.

Oh, yeah, cocoa.

I got you, I got you.
You're cornered. Ha!

- Two hundred more points.
- Oh, Paul, it's just a game.

Don't worry, Mom.
I'm 5,000 points ahead.

Ten thousand.

Twenty thousand.

Dad, we need to use the TV.

Game over. We'll call it a tie.

God, this project is so great.
I'm so gonna get an A.

- I love you, Daddy.
- "I love you, Dad." Did you hear that?

Apparently, the pebble has landed.

Sit back while ripples ensue.

So, let's see this masterpiece.

It's nowhere near finished.

- Promise you'll tell me if it sucks.
- Or if I look bad.

[snickers] Never mind. Just watch.

[Kerry] In this looks-conscious society,

there's only one minority
that suffers no discrimination:

- The beautiful.

Although only two percent
of the population,

they occupy 50 percent of my bedroom.

Sounds like we have another writer
in the family.

Yippee.

[Kerry] Her 58 minute shower finished,

leaving only 30 seconds of hot water
for the rest of us,

Bridget begins the search
for today's outfit.

Hate it.

Hate it.

Mom gave it to me.

Sad blouse.

Hate it.

- Hate it.
- A 58 minute shower?

Bridget, do you have any idea
what our water bill is?

You have to pay for water? I thought
you get it free when you buy the house.

[Kerry] Makeup comprises the longest
portion of Bridget's preparation.

Look at all that stuff.

Bridget, do you even have a face?

[Kerry] Bridget works hard
for her good grades.

Hi, Bridget. Here's that
biology homework you wanted.

Oh, Henry, you're such a doll.
Everyone, isn't he a doll?

OK, OK, five.

Every time he does my homework, I give
him one more digit to my phone number.

[Kerry] Bridget's biology class
is studying cell variations.

Even Bridget seems interested.

Bridget also uses her wit and charm
when dealing with our city's finest.

Officer, I know I missed that red light
but I've got these new blue contacts.

I'm a total Kabuki face in the winter.
In summer my skin is tawny

and not like
that fake tan stuff Amanda uses.

One of my blue contacts slipped
before I got to the intersection,

so even though it was a red light
for everybody else, for me it was not.

Drive safely, miss.

Kerry, how come in every scene

you show me using my looks
to get people to do stuff for me?

Daddy, make her stop!

Well, you know, Bridge...

Anybody who sees this
is gonna think I'm shallow.

Anybody who sees this
is going to think I'm shallow!

Oh, my God.
You all think I'm shallow.

Well, we're not looking at our shoes
for scuff marks.

Rory!

I'm sorry. I should go upstairs
and take a long, hard look at myself.

In the mirror.

And see what my butt looks like
when I'm dancing!

- Oh, God, I feel terrible.
- Ooh!

A range of emotion
I haven't captured, Bridget.

- Do it again.
- Oh, God, I feel terrible.

Thank you, Daddy.

Bridgie, oh, honey.

Paul, you tossed a bad idea
into the pond.

No, Cate, wait a second.

Kerry held up a mirror,
which reflects, much like a pond.

And if Bridget learned
from something she saw,

she should seize this moment and change.

I don't want to be shallow.
Really, I want to be deep.

As deep as those tubs of ice cream
at the parlor,

when they're scraping it off the bottom,
their armpits pressed on the side,

and you're going,
"My God, are you gonna give me that?"

Honey, you know... Listen.

If you want to be that deep,

just remember those tubs of ice cream
don't empty themselves.

Somebody has to be working that scooper,
taking them out one scoop at a time.

Except in the case of banana splits.
Then it's three scoops at a time.

- And usually...
- Paul, your daughter is crying.

Bridget, you have plenty of depth.

It's just that somewhere along the line,
your interests kind of narrowed.

You used to be so involved
in the drama club,

and chorus and sports.

Remember, I begged you not to quit
the tennis team?

- Now I wish I hadn't.
- It's not too late to take it up again.

In fact, tomorrow, why don't we go
to the courts and hit the ball around?

- Shake the cobwebs.
- I don't know.

Let me inspire you.

Some people scoop the ice cream.

And some people just watch
the ice cream being scooped.

OK, I'll try.

Off of that?

- Hey, Rory, how was tennis?
- Boring.

Daddy broke my nose!

Oh, my God!

Oh, yeah.

Daddy broke my nose.
Daddy broke my nose!

I'm sorry, sweetie, I'm sorry.

The doctor said
it's not even really broken.

It's just more of a hairline fracture.

They set her nose in the hall.
I got the whole thing.

The light was streaming
through the bars. It was so awesome.

It's never gonna heal. I'm a monster.

You are not a monster.

Hello, Clarice.

Oh, my poor baby.
What did you do?

He broke my nose!

Well, how exactly did this happen?

Let's go to the video.

In an attempt to be more
of a well-rounded person,

Bridget exhibits her athletic skills.

Looks like we're gonna
have to wait for a court.

No, no, it's not a problem.

Hey, guys. Hi.

Hey, come here.

How long have you been waiting
for this court?

A couple hours.

Can I have it?

- Yeah.
- OK.

See? Everything was perfect.

The lighting,
the composition, the angle.

And I was looking so Kournikova.

Can you fast-forward to the part
where you disfigured my baby?

- Disfigured?
- Honey, I don't know what happened.

We were just having a friendly game,
lobbing the ball back and forth.

Here it is.

That's right. Come here.

Uh-huh.

- Got it!

Wait a minute.
OK, Kurosawa said,

"The true artist must never look away."

Whoa!

Mom, my life is over.

No one will ever love me.
I'm gonna die alone like Kerry.

What?

Whoa!

I am not an animal.

Shut up.

- Rory, are you about done?
- Just about.

I am a human being.

- Peace! Peace!
- All right, all right.

- Rory, go get ready for school.
- See? She is an animal.

How are you doing, Beach?
Do you want some French toast?

- No.
- Waffles?

- No.
- A car?

OK.

Morning, Mom. Morning, Dad.

- Morning, Marcia.
- Stop filming me.

- Put the camera down.
- Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.

- Kerry!
- I can't.

This second act twist will make
my project so much better.

"Beauty... Then the Beast."

You can film somebody else.
I'm not going to school till I'm better

and don't look like someone
who sits at your lunch table.

Bridget's mask may hide her face,
but not her pain.

- Poor Beach. She seems so...
- Sad?

Yeah. So...

We can let her stay home a couple days.
What's the harm?

Paul... And I say this
from a loving place...

I hate the loving place.
I'm always wrong in the loving place.

What message do you think you're sending
Bridget if you let her stay home?

Her father loves her
more than her mother.

You're sending the message

that all Bridget has
to offer the world are her looks.

- That the effect you wanted?
- That's ridiculous.

Bridget has a lot
of wonderful qualities.

It might be nice if she heard that.

Hey, girls.
Bridget?

I need to talk to you for a second.

OK, but I'll warn you,
it's kind of muffled.

Oh, my God.

I'm not going to school, Dad.

Honey, you know deep down
nobody is gonna care what you look like.

What high school did you go to?
You saw Kerry's video.

I'm shallow and get by on my looks.
I can't go to school.

A broken nose is not a good reason
to miss school, to avoid life.

Bridget, you know,
beauty is only skin deep.

So what if some of the kids
make fun of you?

But I'm not use to it, like Kerry.

- I have footage of you in that mask.
- I don't care.

- On the toilet.
- Oh, my!

Kerry!

- Privacy, please.
- That's what she said.

You know something?
You seem to be enjoying this too much.

- So?
- So, have a little compassion.

Look for Bridget's good qualities.

- Dad, my video's due in a week.
- Kerry!

- Compassion.
- OK.

- Bridge, get ready for school now.
- Do I have to?

Sweetheart, nobody said
this is gonna be easy,

but I know you can do this.
You know, of all my kids,

you've always been the bravest,
ever since you were babies.

- I was?
- Oh, yeah.

We'd take you guys to the park
and Kerry would play in the sandbox,

but you would want
to climb the jungle gym.

I would watch you,
scared to death,

and you'd scramble past kids
twice your age

till you were standing alone at the top.

"Look at me, look at me!"

Then I'd tell the boys to stop singing
that song about London and France.

I'm gonna need a really short skirt.

Atta girl.

How short?

- I can't. I can't. Go, go.
- Do it. Bridget, you have to face them.

You want to see them laugh
to get it on tape.

I thought I did, OK?

Maybe a part of me always will.

But right now I just want to be here
for my sister. You can do this, Bridgie.

- Promise?
- Promise. Come here.

OK.

And action!

Hey, Dad, are you ready
for some extreme tennis?

- That's not funny, Rory.
- It's a little funny.

No, it's not.

She's home. Oh, please, God.

Oh, my God, Daddy. I had
the best day ever. You were so right.

Really? See, what did I tell you?
I'm so happy!

It's in the cabinet
under your mother's sink.

Thanks, Dad. Thanks a lot.
The whole premise to my film is ruined.

Look what you've done.
Come here. Watch.

- Bridget?
- What happened to you?

Some stupid tennis accident.

I know, I know.
"Hello, Clarice."

They come in the worst colors. Hi!

I missed you, I missed you,
but you missed me more.

Everyone was so nice to me
and all the guys wanted to sign my face.

Brandon bought me a cupcake, but I
didn't want to get frosting on my mask,

so he exchanged it for some pudding.

Here you go, Bridget.

Oh, thanks, Brandon.
You're so sweet.

I'm gonna like you forever
as just a friend.

Cool shirt. Can I have it?

- Homework.
- Thanks, Henry.

Three.

Hi, guys. Come on, let's go.

[Kerry] For we mere mortals,
tomorrow is just another day,

but for the Bridget Hennessys
of the world,

tomorrow always brings
more free pudding.

- That was such a good movie.
- You know, it really was.

- Thanks to...
- Kerry.

- And who's her father?
- Why? What have you heard?

Let's just go find her.
Come on.

Oh.

- Wow, Care Bear. Great job.
- Honey, it was terrific.

Oh, Daddy, if it weren't for you
I never would have learned that...

- Yeah?
...that beauty isn't only skin deep.

Somehow I'm hot no matter what.
I'm brave and hot.

Kerry, that should be the name
of your video, Brave Hot.

Thank you, thank you, thank you
and thank you.

- You want to know what I learned?
- How to zoom? Some of those shots...

No matter what she does Bridget will
always be treated better than anybody,

and people like me
will always be ignored.

So that's what it meant.
'Cause I gotta tell you, I got lost.

You know why Bridget's treated that way?

Because she's fearless
and she puts herself out there.

Oh yeah? I put myself out there
with this Bridget video.

- I didn't get anything.
- What are you talking about?

- You made a movie.
- A great movie, sweetie.

It was, it was personal,

and you created something that was
heartfelt and moved the audience.

You took my great idea
and you ran with it.

No, Dad. What I did
was make her an even bigger star.

- Yeah, that's Bridget's sister.
- See?

Hey. Cool video.

If you want to talk to the star
she's over there, center of attention.

No, I wanted to talk to you.

I really like some of those zoom shots.

Well, honey, I just wanted to show you
the thing of this spot

over there by the wall.

- The what?
- Yeah. Come on.

So, who are your favorite directors?

Well, there's Spike Jonze...

Do you have the time?
Do you want to go someplace and talk?

- What do you know?
- Yeah.

Two happy girls at the same time.

- What are the odds?
- Isn't it great?

Look at Bridget over there,
talking to that guy.

Laughing with that guy!

Leaving with that guy. Who's that guy?
Hey! Get back here!

Bridget? Bridget?

Here in my hot new pants
Don't you want me? You want me

In my hot new pants
- Rory!

What?

Just get out of your sisters' bedroom.

What's the matter with you?

These are my hot new pants

You know you like it
You like it hot

You like it new

You like my hot new...

[Cate] Paul!

Yeah, just picking up the camera, honey.
