I actually want to make the school better.
I want to go to Washington
for the Spring Break Leadership Conference.
I want everyone's voices to be heard.
But you don't.
You just want a parking space.
Man, did you hear that?
Yeah...
the president has to spend spring break
- at a leadership conference? - I can't do that.
That's when I go on spring break.
I would literally die.
- We have to make this better. - We have to make this right.
Sorry, I thought you were gonna say "better."
I wasn't.
Hey, man. Can we talk?
Did you just sit backwards in a chair?
Wow, I've never seen anyone do that in real life.
Look, I'm sorry about yesterday.
And you're right. I don't know you.
Honestly, I was just looking out for myself.
It may seem like I'm a hot, happening guy
who's got it all together--
You're a gym teacher, and I saw you
eating soup in your car.
That was melted ice cream.
But...
the truth is, I need a win.
I'm a director of an athletics program
that hasn't beaten Valley in 15 years.
Anyway, I'm sorry...
and I wanna listen.
Look, you're not the first person
to look at me and ask if I played football.
I can't do anything without people
making assumptions about me.
I play football, I'm up to no good,
I'm related to Montell Jordan--
which I am, but it's through marriage.
The point is, even if I wanted to join in,
it's not that simple.
Man.
Back when I went to Bayside, if you had a problem,
it could usually be fixed
with a vaguely inspirational speech, but...
That doesn't seem like it's gonna work here, huh?
No.
And you wouldn't want me to try,
even if I thought of a good one
based on what you told me, right?
Well, technically, it's not a white savior thing
because you're Mexican, so...
Thank you! No one ever talks about that.
Look, man.
You're never gonna be able to control
what people assume about you,
so if there's something you want to do here,
something that can make you happy,
well, you might as well just go for it
and let people assume what they want.
All right, I'll keep that in mind.
Thanks, Coach.
You're welcome, DeVante.
That's not how you pronounce my name.
I'm just messing with you. That's a joke.
- You did all right. - You got me.
Attention, please, it is now time to hear
from our candidates for sophomore class president.
Mr. Morris, would you like to begin with--
ah! Stop!
Ow! Ow!
Good morning, Bayside.
I'm Mac Morris, and I believe in the power of a good idea.
Like my idea that teachers
should randomly give you Fs for no reason
and that we should get rid of school dances
and use that money to plant a weird tree.
Thank you.
- - Wait.
Is he trying to lose?
And now, for our next presidential candidate,
- Daisy! - What?
Hi, Bayside! I'm Daisy.
And I promise to get Lizzo to perform at prom,
and the theme will be, "Everybody Gets 50 Bucks."
I don't know who this Daisy girl is,
but she sounds great.
Okay, wait. They're lying.
I'm Daisy! They're pretending to be me.
In my Bayside, every lamp will be a ring light
so no one will be an uggo.
No, no! That's not my platform.
I was running for president
'cause I wanted to give people like me a voice,
and now these white ding-a-lings
are literally stealing my voice!
So do you want us to vote for Daisy or not?
Well--I mean--
I want to be class president, but not if it's--
And God as my witness, I vow that
each and every student will get their own micro pig.
Yes!
All right, everybody. Line up.
Hold up, Coach. I think we got one more coming.
And that kid looks tough as hell.
Hey, Coach!
Hey.
Daisy!
Hey, congratulations on your win.
Thanks, but...
I can't be class president.
I mean, I don't deserve it.
That wasn't me giving the speech this morning.
Oh, I know. Mac and Lexi locked me
in a dark supply closet so they could use the PA.
I was very scared.
But you don't have to bow out!
You did technically win!
Yeah, but I wanted to win the right way.
I wanted it to be fair.
Oh.
Have a seat.
Listen, it was never going to be fair.
Was it fair you only heard about the election yesterday?
And Mac's campaign jingle was written by Migos?
Was it fair these kids were born in the Palisades
and you weren't? Daisy!
The universe got one right today.
You're here, and you're the president.
And you certainly proved to me...
that you deserved it.
Where did you get those?
Oh, I have a deal with the janitor.
He just gives me all the cool stuff
the kids throw out.
I got a Gucci hat and a necklace.
That smells.
- Cool. - Listen.
These kids...
they can be sheltered and clueless.
But there's one thing they get right.
They never feel guilty
about taking their seat at the table.
And I know you deserve a seat there too.
And if you don't take it, Daisy...
how else are we gonna make this place
a little more fair?
Yeah.
Thanks, Principal Toddman.
Whassup?
I'm DeVante Young,
and I'm here to audition for the musical.
Mm-kay. Whenever you are ready.
* I believe *
* The children are our future *
* Teach them well and let them lead the way *
* Show them all the beauty they possess *

Hey, buddy. Listen.
No need to thank us for rigging the race.
Yeah, all we ask in return is that you give us
the president's parking spot.
And we actually learned
a pretty important lesson this week.
It's great to win, but sometimes,
it's even better...
to share.
Hm.
No.
- both: What? - I said no.
I'm the president, and that parking space is mine.
Are you kidding me, brah?
Okay, but you don't even have a car.
What are you gonna use a parking spot for?
What is she doing?
* Because the greatest *
* Love of all is happening to me *
First order of business.
I want to move the bus stop.
You know the president's parking spot
right in front of the school?
I want to move it there.
* I found the greatest *
* Love of all *
* Inside *
* Of *
* Me *
We good?
Yeah.
Cool.
* Don't need to tell you *
* What you already know *
* Don't wanna hear you say *
* That you told me so *
* Can't even argue *
* I wouldn't know where to start *
* How many letters *
* To spell a broken heart? *
