TRANSCRIPT:
Beyonce, Queen Bey, I pray that you make my feet swift tomorrow
and thay you make my moves have swagger. In the name of the
"Single Ladies" video and the Lemonade short film.
I pray. Five, six, seven, eight. Senior year, I needed to join the dance team
'cause the more extracurricular activities you do, the higher your chances are
of getting into a top-tier college. Woodbright High. Oh, isn't that the school
with the dance team? I keep it lit. Squirrel friend, are you for real?
Jas, I need you to help me get on the dance team. You don't dance at all.
The Work It competition is in five months, and I don't need you stanking up
the place. Fine. I'll start my own damn team then. There it is. Say what?
The Thunderbirds have the best dancers at the school. So,
we need ti find - The diamonds in the rough. This guy is supposed to be the
best flipper in town. That guy's, like, 50. The one that lookd like Conan O'Brien.
You're kidding? The guy can flip. We need a choreographer. This guy,
Jake Taylor, captained the winning team three years in a row. We'd love to have
you choreograph. What do you think? I think you can't dance. Why do we look like
dental hygienists? What? I borrowed them from the nursing home. WE look like
we're about to go run a blood drive. Looko, you guys aren't the mose skilled
dancers, but that's what we're up against. I see you staring at Jake like he's
a pop quiz. Untrue. You can't think your way through this. You gotta let your
body drive you. Show me what to do. The Work It stage, it's huge. And ni new
team has ever won it. This is our only chance. You ready? Everybody listen up,
if you wanna be your best, you have to follow your... Packs... Is she good?
Are we good? Yeah, yeah, no, she's good.
