"Okay ladies, let's run through everyone's assigned duties from the tornado safety checklist one more time." " Check windows." " Retrieve the emergency radio." " Bring down the first aid kit." " Make sure everyone gets in the shelter, after which I will close the door." "Which is the most important and stressful job of all." " You're welcome." " Thanks for bearing that cross, Miss Snap." "Okay, I think we're all set in case the weather gets worse." "I didn't receive my assigned task." "Hm." "Sorry about that." "We must have forgotten about her because she doesn't have a real classroom." "Yes, Ms. Cannon, if the sirens go off, you'll turn off the school's gas line." "So that this bad boy doesn't blow like a poached egg in a microwave." "Right, Frank?" " Mrs. Adler, you're late." " Sorry." "My car's in the shop again." "We had to bike in." "Oh, Deb!" " What is that thing?" " It's my cat." "I thought he died over a week ago." "He did, and I've had him professionally preserved." "Just so you know, that is a gateway step to becoming a serial killer." "Why did you bring him to school?" "Because I'm not ready to separate from Wasabi." "I read on the Internet that it's perfectly normal to carry around something that reminds you of someone you love until you're ready to move on." "I don't think they meant a loved one's carcass." "How about a little understanding?" "Mrs. Adler, I think we're all having a tough time empathizing because it's not a dog." "Just remember, if we have an emergency weather situation, stay calm and work together." "Perfect teachable moment to watch "Sharknado" today." "Awesome." "It's a good thing these ladies have two strong men like us for backup." " That's a little sexist." " You're right, I'm a pig." "I'm sorry." "It takes about 29.5 days to complete one lunar cycle." "Does anyone know what else happens every 29.5 days?" "Okay." "Oh, my God... oh!" "Whoa." "Hey, Deb, I just... oh!" "You really need to get your own show on TLC." "Do you need something?" "I'm supposed to tell you that we're gonna have indoor recess today because of the bad weather." "Should we be in a trailer during a tornado?" "That's how my Aunt Trina lost 200 Beanie Babies." " And her life." " You won't get off that easy." "Oh, Deb, I'm so sorry that you're mentally ill." "Okay, oh, my God." "I am too skinny for this!" "The angels are bowling." " This is it!" " Watch the duty!" "Code Scarlet, initiate!" "Okay, step one." "Stand in a door frame." "No, that's not it." "Buddy system, initiate!" "Feel doorknobs for heat?" "No!" "Left, left, left, right, left!" "When you get your luggage, check the tag?" "Run!" "It's like the Titanic!" "Women and children first!" "We're all women and children, you idiot!" "The plan is my class is supposed to go first." "Fan out, initiate!" "Let us through!" "Here!" "Take my students!" "I have to go back and get Wasabi!" "We're all gonna die!" "The miracle of surround sound makes it feel like this is really happening." "Ms. Feldman." "There's a tornado." "Oh, no." "It's just our movie." "I'll turn it down." "No, there's an actual tornado." "Oh, crap." "Wasabi." "I could never forget you." "And if we're meant to be sucked up in this twister, then so be it, it is your will." " Please..." " Ms. Bennigan?" " Come on!" " I just prayed for help and here you are!" "I can't die without telling Kris Jenner how inspiring she is as a business woman!" "Back up, Cannon!" "Go!" "Go!" "Okay, ladies, get everyone inside, okay?" "I'm gonna do one final sweep." "I might not make it out of this, Roberta." "And you know I can't compete with a man who designs blue jeans for a living." "But I need you to know this." "I love you." "Toby, we need to go right now." "And I lied, I did take your season four DVD" " of the "Gilmore Girls."" " Toby, now!" "I'm sorry I'm leaving this on your voicemail." "I... bye." "Okay, I think that's everyone." "Hey, two more!" "Two more." "Uh!" "No!" "No." "Hello?" "Chelsea?" " Let me in!" " No!" "Okay, opening the door risks my... our... our lives in here." "Sorry!" "Not sorry." "I'm sorry, buddy." "I'm sorry." "I am incredibly disappointed in all of you." "They're the ones that screwed up." "I followed the plan." "That's because the plan is shoved so far up your ass you can't help but have it on your mind." "You're the one that tried to save a grocery cart instead of children, you moron." "That was incredibly stupid, but at least the cart had a use, unlike Adler's road kill." "You locked me out of the shelter, you "Bachelor in Paradise" reject." "Yeah, that was pretty whack, Chelsea." "Oh, you know what was really whack?" "You almost killing your kids because you wanted to watch "Sharknado."" "Exsqueeze me." "That was for them." "I've already seen "Sharknado" like nine times." "That film is an abomination." "Sharks were not created to fly!" "Enough!" "You are all on probation until you complete the team-building seminar at the Positive River Synergy Center in Schaumburg." "You're sending us to Schaumburg?" "Yes, I am sending you to Schaumburg." " Schaumburg." " Yes, Schaumburg!" " Schaumburg." " Yes, Schaumburg!" "Welcome, Earth Goddesses of Fillmore Elementary." "We are gathered here in this sacred space to practice communicating openly and releasing negativity." "This is gonna suck more [bleep] than Chelsea." "At least I'm not the one carrying around that decomposing house pet, psycho." "Now, when you met me at check-in," "I introduced myself as Harvey." "But here in this talking circle, call me Rain Owl." "Loser." "This is a sacred talking stick." "Given to us from the ancient tradition of the Iroquois." "Oh, awesome." "I love Jamiroquai." "No, Iroquois." "Please, let's be culturally sensitive." "When we hold the talking stick, it is only then that we speak." "It represents a moment of uninterrupted, emotional expression." "Great." "Chelsea's a selfish bitch for leaving me and Wasabi behind." "Oh, my God." "I can't with this cat." "Stop talking about your gnarly Build-A-Bear." "He just said you can't talk without the stick." "I'll cut your tits off." "Oh, go burn in hell with your dead cat." "Why is everyone persecuting me?" "Cannon's the one who jammed the doorway with her homeless lady art cart." "You can't talk without the stick!" " You never follow the rules!" " Please." "Please be careful with the talking stick." "It's actually signed by Shirley MacLaine." "I have something to say." "None of you ever listen to me." " Let me talk." " You can't talk because you're not holding the stick." "What is wrong with you people?" "There's only one rule: only talk when you have the stick." "That's it!" "If there's a stick in your hands, hey, go for it!" "That's the rules." "But there's no stick in your hands, then guess what?" "Don't talk!" "Girl... you don't have the stick." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "I think we're done with the stick." "I'm just gonna put it here to recharge." "Let's try this:" "when someone says something we want to emotionally support, we'll respond with the Cherokee affirmation," ""Ah, ho."" "Caroline, you just need to learn to go with the flow." "No, I don't handle things well when they don't go according to plan." "Hoo, haa." "No, it's ah, ho." "Give it a rest, Harvey." "It's Rain Owl!" "Anyway, I don't wanna talk about it." "This is a talking circle." "You have to talk or we're never getting out of here." "Fine." "You wanna know?" " You really wanna know?" " Yes." "Ah, ho." "Okay." "When I was 15, I was cast as Peter Pan in a community theater production of the musical "Peter Pan."" "I was so excited." "I was the star of the show and I got to fly." "The plan was for me to do a basic fly-over the audience." "But since it was opening night," "I got a sudden rush of adrenaline and I improvised a front aerial roll." "My leotard got caught on the window of the darling children's nursery and... ripped off." "I was on stage, completely naked." "Let's just say there was no doubt that Peter Pan was not a real boy after that." "I ruined the magic of Neverland for everyone." "And that was before Michael Jackson." "So now I stick to the plan, no matter what." "Oh, my God." "I would have killed myself." "Yeah, I would have killed myself." "We're really sorry, girl." "That does sound like a real bummer." "But, you know, if I had a plan," "I wouldn't be here right now." " What do you mean?" " Well, I never would have become a teacher if I hadn't stolen a women's identity." " Dear God." " What?" "What's wrong with you people?" "I could've sworn I told you guys this one, no?" "No." "Okay." "When my best friend Lola got her first teaching job out of college, we decided to celebrate by going to the Warped Tour." "It was rad." "But the next morning," "Lola was too hung-over to go and teach." "So I stepped into her class while she ran downtown to grab some weed to crush her nausea." "But at some point that morning, Lola stopped texting me back and before I knew it, I had taught a whole school year." "Wait." "Lola disappeared?" "Oh, no, no." "I heard from her eventually." "Turns out she joined a cult." "I saw her at Walgreens two years later with hair down to her butt and two husbands." "Isn't it funny how God always takes care of us?" "I think it's a little more complicated" " than that, Mary Louise." " It's not." "It's simple." "Like yesterday." "I prayed for God to save me, and he did." "No." "Frank came and saved you." "Listen, I know that you and I have different beliefs, but as my friend, I need you to respect what I believe." "That's great, Ms. Bennigan." "Now let's go a little deeper." "Why don't you dance your emotions?" "Seriously, Harvey, shut your spirit hole." "Listen, I do respect your beliefs." "I just wish you'd be a little bit more active while praying." " Let me pray about it." " Yes, yes." "Let's all get more active, shall we?" "Everyone pick a spirit animal." "Right now." "Oh, Deb." "You still thinking about your dead kitty cat?" "It's just that, Wasabi was the only friend that I could really rely on." "I mean, I have my derby girls." "My coven." "Those poor dweebs in my class." "But Wasabi's been my consistent source of unconditional love for the last 15 years." "You can rely on us, Deb." "You left me to die yesterday." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, I did." "Look, I'm sorry I left you behind." "But it was purely instinctual." "My whole life, I've had to take care of myself." "I have to talk about that now, don't I?" " Yeah." " Mm-hmm." "Oh, God." "Okay, fine." "Feelings." "Gross." "Growing up, when my mom married Don and we went to live in South Padre Island, she wasn't around and I was forced to take care of myself." "And then when she divorced Don and married Hank," "I was forced to take care of myself again." "And then when Hank died in a go-kart accident... which really wasn't my fault..." "and she married Karen," "I was forced to take care of myself again, again." "So I've just always had to take care of myself because no one else will." "But you were right." "I should have been there for you, Deb." "And Wasabi." "I just love you all so much." " I love you guys, too." " Guys..." "I thought today was really gonna suck, but it was awesome, 'cause we all got to share our feelings." "Yeah!" "Sorry, I didn't mean to be mean." "Are you kidding me?" "I haven't gotten to share anything." "This whole time, I've been trying to talk and none of you will listen to me." "Just because my class is a rusty grocery cart, doesn't mean I'm a second-class citizen." "I just want the opportunity to talk!" "You're right." "We're really sorry, dude." "What did you wanna say?" "That's it." "I just wanted the opportunity to talk." "Well, then get in here, girl!" " Yeah!" "I'm sorry." " Oh, I love you guys." "Why are you ladies celebrating?" "It's not like you're gonna get off probation any time soon." "Oh, really, Rain Owl?" "'Cause I think the six of us just owned your Synergy Center." "No, I don't think you did." "Because you literally ignored all of my expert advice and counsel." "You couldn't possibly be good role models for students because I have seen you all on the inside." "And you're selfish and ugly!" " Ugly?" " Ugly." "Oh, hell no!" "I will... oh!" "My ankle!" "Oh, my God!" " My ankle!" " My talking stick." "Girl, are you okay?" "Ow." "My brittle model bones." "Her ankle's for sure sprained." " Okay, girl." " No, stop." "Well, congratulations." "You're officially the worst group to come through here since the HR team from Kibbles 'n Bits." "You changed "ah-ho" to "hoo-ha,"" "nobody became a spirit animal, and you broke my stick." "Now get off my Synergy Course." "Whatever, just give us our certificates and we'll leave." "Hmm, I don't sign your certificates until you complete the obstacle course." "I knew I should have worn my casual pearls." "Wait, we have to do that?" "I thought that was for the "Scared Straight!" teens." "No, that's for you." "Which means you will never get off probation." "That's not fair." "I'll go through it twice, and you can count one for Chelsea." "No." "Doesn't work like that." "The stick breaking gimp is done." "Okay." "That was rude." "You guys go ahead without me." "I'll be fine." "Chelsea, we're not leaving you behind." "We got into this together and we're getting out of it together, right?" "Right!" "How?" "I have a plan." " Wait, you guys." " Oh." "Sorry, girl." "You guys go ahead." "I've got Chelsea." "Okay, Chelsea, hold onto me and hop across." "Oh!" " Oh!" " Chelsea!" " Gosh!" " Are you okay?" "That's right, suffer." "Okay, let's try again." "I hate the wilderness." "Oh!" "Okay." "Ah... ho." " Come on, Chelsea." " Eye on the prize." " Come on Chelsea, go." " Come on, girl." " You got it, Snap." " Awesome, go!" "Oh..." "Okay." "Screw the plan." "Break my stick, the obstacle course breaks you!" "Ow, ow, ow, ow." "We're going rogue, Chelsea." "On the count of three, I'm gonna swing you over." "One, two, three!" "Oh!" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" "Oh!" "Oh, I did it." " Yes!" " Way to change the plan, girl." "Just like Peter Pan." "I should have been a CPA." "Dear Lord or savior, Jesus Christ, please help me to survive so that I can continue to be best friends with Chelsea." "Mary Louise, while I respect your prayer, you have to do something real..." "ly cool and physical to move." "I prayed about it and I'm down to clown." "This is so cool." "I'm the answer to my own prayer!" "You're squishing Wasabi." "Okay, okay." " Hold on, lemme just... ah!" " Aah!" "Don't leave me." "Oh!" "Oh." "Looks like no dates this weekend." "Oh, God!" "Oh, where are you guys?" "How are we gonna get Chelsea across?" "In "Sharknado"..." "A force of nature carries sharks in the air." "I can be that force of nature." "I'll carry Chelsea." "Yes, it'll be just like that Footprints in the Sand poster." "Okay." "Yeah." " Ow." " Sorry, dude." " Ow." " My bad." " Ow." " Watch your head." "Uh!" " Ow!" " Dude, get off my noggin." "Ah!" "Oh, man, did you fart?" "Sorry, dude." "We're almost there!" "I can't die." "I'm not waxed." "Come on, we can't let Rain Owl win." "I can't make it." "My willowy arms are too tired." "Grab my hand, grab my hand." " Oh!" " Wasabi!" "Just drop me, Deb." "Go on without me!" "I'm not leaving you behind, Chelsea." "Ah." "It's time, Wasabi." "Oh, my God." "I'm gonna start working out instead of just being naturally thin." " Come on, Chelsea." " You're so close." " You can do it." " Come on, girl, I got it." "Got it?" "Almost, almost." " Oh, oh, oh." " Oh!" "Oh." "I'm coming behind you." "Okay." "We did it!" "I've never felt more taken care of in my whole life." " You're my hero." " That was 50 times better" " than "Sharknado."" " Yeah, Deb, you made a true sacrifice for the team." "And we weren't the only ones who saw it." "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow." "After you, girl." "Aw." "How about we go together?" " Aww." " Ow!" " Oh, oh, careful." " Ow!" " Okay." " Ow!" "Ow!" "Raccoon!" "Oh, no!" "Why don't one of you bitches help me?" "Oh, thank you so much, Deb." "I dropped my certificate!" "Are you kidding me?"
