2/40

INT. WAGSTAFF SCHOOL AFTERNOON

The students are walking all around the hallway. TINA,

GENE, and LOUISE are looking at a sheet of paper gathered

from all over the hallways. The trio is walking their way

out of the school grounds.

LOUISE

I dont get it.

TINA

Its a nomination ballot for this

years homecoming queen. You can

nominate anybody, even yourself.

GENE

Id nominate myself! Id be the

fairest one of them all!

TINA

Id vote for you, Gene.

LOUISE

Pfft.

GENE

Thank you!

Tina, Gene, and Louise walk out off the school grounds.

EXT. BOBS BURGERS AFTERNOON

The kids are walking home from school. Before walking in

the restaurant, they continue to discuss.

LOUISE

Remember one time when that weird

girl won homecoming queen?

GENE

Are you talking about the girlwith the speech impediment?

LOUISE

Yeah. Shes in high school now,

but I heard she was a school

favorite.


3/40

TINA

I wonder what shes up to these

days.

The kids walk in the restaurant.

LOUISEWho cares? Nothing matters,

really!

The bell rings, signaling the door opening. BOB is talking

with TEDDY, who is eating a burger.

BOB

Hey, kids.

LOUISE

Hey, dad.

TEDDY

Hi, kids!

GENE

Hi, Teddy.

BOB

Whats with the awkward hellos?

One is enough.

LINDA pops her head from the kitchen with a knife in her

hand.

LINDA

Hey! How was school?

GENE

Its the weekend and Im happy! We

got to plop mints into diet soda

and watch geysers come out of two-

liter bottles!

LOUISEWhat? You guys got to do that? No

fair! Ive always wanted to do

that, but Belevins thinks its

dangerous!

GENE

Wait until youre eleven! Thats

when the fun starts!


4/40

LOUISE

But I want to do it now!

BOB

I remember when science

experiments didnt involve wasting

food.

TEDDY

There was this one science

experiment I did back in high

school. It was huge! It broke the

classroom windows.

LOUISE

(interested)

Oh, really?

TEDDY

It was really intense, and that

was when I had a full head of

hair.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. SCIENCE CLASSROOM FLASHBACK

High school Teddy was mixing non-compatible chemicals into

the vial supported by a Bunsen burner.

TEDDY (O.S. CONTD)

I wore my safety goggles and out

of nowhere the teacher would tell

me that the mixture was wrong. I

didnt listen, so I continued.

GENE (O.S.)

Then what happened?

TEDDY (O.S.)

I didnt listen. I felt like I wasdoing something right until-

High school Teddy starts screaming as the mixture turns

into a disaster. He runs as far as he can out of the

classroom before windows in the classroom shatter. The

teacher sends high school Teddy to the office.


5/40

TEDDY (O.S. CONTD)

I had to pay the school five

hundred dollars in repairs.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. BOBS BURGERS PRESENT DAY

TEDDY (CONTD)

It only seems like yesterday when

that happened. It was worth it

though.

LOUISE

Whoa.

TINA

So you only had to pay them five

hundred dollars?

TEDDY

I also had three days suspension.

LOUISE

That gives me an idea!

BOB

Kids, get to work.

GENE

But its Friday!

BOB

I dont care. Im only making you

work until dinnertime.

Gene grunts.

INT. BOB AND LINDAS BEDROOM NIGHT

Bob is looking in a closet while Linda is reading a romance

novel. Linda hears Bobs fidgeting around and gets

aggravated.

LINDA

Bob, would you come to bed? You

can look for your photo album

tomorrow.


6/40

BOB

But its in here somewhere. I just

want to show Gene that we didnt

need to waste food to have a fun

science experiment.

LINDA

You dont need to prove anything.

BOB

Found it!

Bob takes out a dusty photo album. He wipes off the dust

and opens to a page in the album of Bob when he was Genes

age with a bowl and a floating egg. He shows Linda the

photo.

BOB (CONTD)

We did experiments like putting

salt in water to make eggs float.

LINDA

Aw, look at my Bobby! So cute! You

even wore your goggles!

BOB

Boy, were those boring.

LINDA

Alright, Bobby. Good night.

BOB

Good night.

EXT. WAGSTAFF SCHOOL DAY

Students are walking in and out of classrooms since it had

been lunch break. As Tina makes her way to her locker,

JIMMY JR suddenly interrupts her.

JIMMY JR

Hey, Tina! Congrats on getting

nominated!

TINA

I dont get it.


7/40

JIMMY JR

You got nominated for homecoming

queen.

TINA

Oh my god.

Tina lightly pushes Jimmy Jr. out of the way as she runs

past him to find a poster-sized sheet of paper with Tinas

picture, along with five other nominees on the schools

bulletin board. Tina gasps.

TINA (CONTD)

(to herself)

I got nominated? But how did this

happen? I havent done anything

worthwhile besides The Tina Table.

Suddenly, TAMMY comes up with a confident smirk on her

face.

TAMMY

Well, well. Looks like Ive found

a sore loser in this competition.

Tammy approaches Tina with the same facial expression.

TINA

Oh, hey, Tammy. Congratulations on

your nom--!

Tammy places her hands behind her ear.

TAMMY

Whats that? I cant hear you over

the masculinity in your voice!

Tammy starts laughing uncontrollably, slapping her knee in

the process. She wipes a tear from her eye.

TAMMY (CONTD)

Know this: Youre going down! Tohell! And back! Then back to hell!

TINA

I award your confidence, Tammy,

but thats not queen-like

behavior. It wont get you

anywhere.


8/40

TAMMY

(dramatic)

Oh no! I wont become homecoming

queen with such a mean attitude!

TINA

But its true.

TAMMY

Say what you want, Tina! That

crown will be on my head Friday

night at halftime! Just you wait!

Tammy walks away, leaving Tina raising an eyebrow.

EXT. BOBS BURGERS DAY

INT. BOBS BURGERS DAY

The kids walk home from school. Louise opens the door.

After the door closes, Linda stops wiping the table.

LINDA

Hi, kids! How was school?

LOUISE

Eh.

GENE

We dissected frogs in science

class today!

LOUISE

Stop it with the science

experiments!

LINDA

(interested)

Ooh!

TINA

Today I found out I was a

homecoming queen nominee.

LINDA

My baby made homecoming court?!

Aw, congratulations, honey!


9/40

Linda pulls Tina into a tight hug.

TINA

Thanks, mom!

After letting go, Bob jumps in the conversation,

overhearing Lindas loudness.

BOB

Wait, theres no such thing as

homecoming in middle school.

LINDA

So what, Bob? I was on homecoming

court back in high school! Im

sure they only do this at Tinas

school.

BOB

Yeah, but-

LOUISE

(annoyed)

Tell me about it!

GENE

Shes got some competition! Shes

up against Tammy Larsen!

LINDAYou mean that witch that tried to

blackmail Tina is her competition

for queen?

BOB

Yeah, I thought she transferred to

another school.

TINA

No, but shes being really

competitive about it.

GENE

Man, I wish I could be homecoming

queen! Then I wouldnt have to

worry about the patriarchy!

BOB

But, Gene, youre not a-


10/40

GENE

I dont care! I do what I want!

LINDA

Aw, come on, Bob. If Gene wants to

be a queen, let him. We wont

treat him any differently.

Bob sighs, getting back on the grill.

EXT. WAGSTAFF SCHOOL NEXT DAY

INT. WAGSTAFF SCHOOL

Tina is walking to her locker when she hears music playing

in the background. She stops and sees Tammy sitting on an

Egyptian-styled carrying chair being held by four strongboys. Tammy is throwing flyers with the words VOTE 4

TAMMY and TAMMY 4 QUEEN Tammy speaks from a megaphone.

TAMMY

Vote for your future almighty

homecoming queen! Your vote will

matter!

She continues to throw flyers all over the hallways. Tina

walks toward Tammy.

TINA

Hi, Tammy. I see you have an

attention seeker.

Tammy signals a halt, making the boys stop walking and they

slowly place the bed down.

TAMMY

Do I see you with a carrying

chair? Oh wait, I dont!

TINAI dont need that kind of

attention, Tammy. You cant just

expect people to vote for you by

acting as a higher power.

TAMMY

Tina, Tina, please. I can.


11/40

A MALE STUDENT picks up one of Tammys flyers. He quickly

gets a view of her before crumbling the flyer.

TAMMY (CONTD)

Hey! Dont you crumble that up!

(to Tina) Speaking of trash,

thats where your votes are going!

Jimmy Jr. and ZEKE walk toward Tina and Tammy.

ZEKE

(excited)

Oh ho! Were about to get some

catfight action over here!

TAMMY

No were not, Zeke. Hey, Jimmy

Jr.! Make sure to vote for me!

Tammy hands Jimmy Jr. a flyer of hers, giving a puzzled

look as looks down at the flyer.

JIMMY JR

Uh, thanks, Tammy.

ZEKE

We gotta get goin now! Good luck

to both of ya!

Zeke and Jimmy Jr. walk their way to class.

TAMMY (SIMULTANEOUSLY)

Thanks, Zeke!

TINA (SIMULTANEOUSLY)

Thanks, Zeke!

TAMMY

Id love to stay and chat, but

looks like my times a wastin

hearing your boring voice! Men!

Lift!

She claps her hands twice before the four boys lift the

carry chair, walking away from Tina.

TINA

(to herself)

I cant let her win.


12/40

FADE IN: A song like Joan Jetts I Hate Myself for Loving

You.

TRANSITION TO:

Tammy is posting flyers all over bulletin boards. After she

proceeds doing so, Tina rips the flyers from the bulletinboards.

TINA AND TAMMY ARE RUNNING FOR

QUEEN

Tammy is taping flyers onto lockers. Tina repeats the

action by ripping the posters off of the lockers.

THE COMPETITION HAS GOTTEN REALLY

MEAN

Tammy continues to promote her role as a homecoming queen

nominee by running around school giving out flyers. Tina

runs from behind taking them out of their hands.

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE WHOS THE

BEST WAGSTAFFS SEEN

Tammy sees that the flyers have been taken down from the

bulletin boards. She runs to the lockers and notices

theyre gone.

TAMMY IS THE ONE GOING DOWN

Tammy gasps in despair, Tina glimpses over with a smirk on

her face from behind a wall.

MEANWHILE SHES RUNNING ALL OVER

LIKE A CLOWN

Tammy quickly reapplies all of the flyers onto every wall

in the hallway. She scurries her way in the cafeteria,

throwing flyers all over.

SHES GETTING REALLY JEALOUSSHE THINKS SHE WONT WIN THAT

CROWN

People start putting their votes in the ballot box for

Tammy one by one. Tammy sees this and silently cheers to

herself.


13/40

THE COMPETITION ENDS ON FRIDAY

NIGHT

Louise hands Tina a handful of flyers around school saying

DONT BE A WEINA, VOTE FOR TINA to post in the most

populated rooms in the school.

THE VOTES WILL COUNT IF THEYRE

TALLIED UP ALRI-I-I-I-I-I-I-IGHT

Other people start writing down Tinas name and placing

their votes into the ballot box for Tina, while the other

four ballot boxes have little to none.

I HATE THIS STUPID COMPETITION

I COULD JUST QUIT NOW, BUT I WILL

NEVER WIN

The votes start filling up two ballot boxes: One is Tammys

and the other is Tinas.

WHY CANT WE GET ALONG LIKE

EVERYONE ELSE

BECAUSE TAMMYS GOING DOWN TO

HELL!

The music fades.

INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY DAY

MR FROND walks past the ballot boxes, whistling a catchy

tune. Currently, the boxes for Tina and Tammy are flooding

with papers. Mr Frond grows excited.

MR FROND

Looks like we got some

competition! This ought to beinteresting! Time to make this

even more interesting!

TRANSITION TO:

Mr. Frond takes down the six nominee posters and replaces

them with Tina vs. Tammy posters. He hums the same catchy

tune as he thumbtacks them onto the bulletin boards.


14/40

TRANSITION TO:

INT. SCHOOL HALLWAYS AFTERNOON

The students roam the hallways in and out of classes. Tina

sees the updated posters and gasps.

ZOOM IN: TINA VS. TAMMY POSTER

TINA

Since when did this happen? Now

Im faced with competition.

Tammy sees the poster from afar. Her eyes show daggers as

she folds her arms.

TAMMYThis means war, Tina. That crown

and sash belong to me!

TRANSITION TO:

INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY AFTERNOON

The school hallway is now vacant. Tammy looks to see if the

coast is clear. As she makes her way to a locker, she is

carrying a can of spray paint.

TAMMY

If Im correct, this has to be

Tinas locker. Lets see if shell

like this!

Snickering, she spray paints I AM A BIG LOSER in big

pink letters. She maniacally laughs until she lets out a

fart, to which she covers her mouth afterward.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. WAGSTAFF SCHOOL DAY

INT. SCHOOL HALLWAYS DAY


15/40

It is the morning of the homecoming game, and Tammy walks

down the hall until she finds out she spray painted the

wrong locker.

TAMMY

What?! How come theres no spray

paint? This is an outrage? Then

whose locker did I-

She finds out whose locker she had mistakenly sprayed. She

opens her locker to find out it was actually her locker

instead of Tinas.

TAMMY (CONTD)

My locker?! But how?! I was pretty

sure that was Tinas!

Fits of laughter take over as people point and glance over

to the letters spray painted on the locker. She runs into

the bathroom to grab towels, but there was no avail. Out of

nowhere, a STUDENT calls out.

STUDENT

Hi, big fat loser!

TAMMY

Shut up!

EXT. BOBS BURGERS DAY

INT. BOBS BURGERSDAY

Bob is performing a science experiment while Linda is

bussing tables. She sighs after seeing Bob acting childish

over science experiments.

LINDA

Bob, would you give the science

experiments a rest?

BOB

I cant right now. Im stating my

hypothesis!

LINDA

Since when were you even

interested in science experiments

in the first place?


16/40

BOB

Linda, sometimes grown men Like

myself like to try things out. In

this case, Im trying to make ice

cream out of liquid nitrogen.

LINDA

Whered you get the liquid

nitrogen?

BOB

Mort. He said he didnt need it

anymore.

LINDA

Since when did Mort keep liquid

nitrogen? Hes a mortician!

BOB

Dont ask questions now, Lin.

Bob hears the timer dinging that signals that the ice cream

is ready to be served. He takes a styrofoam cup and a

plastic spoon to scoop up the ice cream. Bob starts to stir

and blow on the ice cream.

LINDA

Bobby, are you sure this is a good

idea?

BOB

Linda, people do this all the

time. Of course its safe!

LINDA

Now youre just being childish!

BOB

Leave it to the professional!

Bob takes a bite out of the ice cream and feels his tonguefreezing over. He starts to mumble due to his tongue being

stuck to the frozen ice cream.

BOB (CONTD)

(with spoon in mouth)

Lin?


17/40

LINDA

What now?

She realizes his tongue had been stuck on the ice cream

attached to the plastic spoon. She starts to freak out.

LINDA (CONTD)Oh my God, Bob!

Bob starts panicking.

BOB

Oh my God! Get it off! Get it off!

Its really cold!

LINDA

Thats what you get for not

testing your theories, mister!

BOB

I gotta call Mort!

LINDA

No were not! We have to go to the

football game tonight, remember?

Our daughter is in the homecoming

court!

Linda walks out of the restaurant leaving Bob helpless.

BOB

Linda! Wait, come back! I need

help putting on my good clothes!

EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD EVENING

A burly COACH discusses tonights Homecoming game against

their biggest competition The Eagles.

COACHAlright, team! Tonight is our big

game! Were going to eat us some

eagle if you know what I mean!

RUDY

COACH

Jimmy Jay, is going to throw theball over to Zeke whos our best

defense. Wipe em out while you

As the coach continues to ramble, the Belchers make it to

the football field just in time. Bob is seen dressed up in

nice clothingminus the jacket. Gene is the only

dissatisfied one since he is still wanting to be queen.

TINA

Alright, so the winner wont be

announced until halftime which isin about forty-five minutes. Just

hang tight.

LINDA

Okay, honey. If you need us, you

19/40

Gene grunts in jealousy.

TINA

Whats going on with Gene?

LOUISE

Hes still jealous that hes nevergoing to become homecoming queen.

TINA

Theres always homecoming king in

the winter!

GENE

No!

Gene turns away as Tina notices the spoon stuck to Bobs

tongue.

TINA

What happened to dad?

LINDA

Sometimes, your father could do

the wrong things at the wrong

time. He tried making ice cream

out of liquid nitrogen.

GENE

I did that today! I had chocolate!Which flavor did you try, dad?

BOB

Vanilla.

GENE

Boo! Vanilla stinks!

BOB

Gene!

LINDAAlright, sweetie! Ill see you in

a bit.

TINA

Okay, bye!


20/40

Tina walks to the homecoming court section of the

bleachers. She takes a deep breath, walking toward the

other girls. Tammy makes conversation with the others.

TAMMY

And thats when I convinced the

teacher to give me an A instead

of a B because I deserved it!

Tammy turns around to see Tina. She gives a nasty look.

TAMMY (CONTD)

Look what the cat dragged in.

TINA

Enough, Tammy.

TRANSITION TO:

EXT. BLEACHERS EVENING

The Belchers take their seat at some of the best seats in

the bleacher section. Gene is carrying a bag of popcorn and

sipping on a straw from a cup of soda while Louise is

munching cotton candy.

LINDA

Nice seats, am I right?

LOUISE

Sure, mom. I still dont get why

this is a huge deal.

LINDA

You know, Louise, one day youre

going to be in Tinas shoes and

youll be able to realize this was

for the better.

Louise turns away from Linda before she takes a bite out of

her cotton candy. Suddenly, the whole field is quiet. TheANNOUNCER starts to speak from a loudspeaker.

ANNOUNCER

Welcome to our very famous

homecoming game here at Wagstaff

school! Since were going to be

starting in a bit, let us all

rise.


21/40

The people sitting on the bleachers soon rise for the

national anthem. The singing goes by rather slowly.

DISSOLVE TO:

The people on the bleachers continue to stand. The SINGER

continues to sing at a slow pace.

SINGER

FOR THE LAAAAAAAAAAAND OF THE

FREEEEEEEEEE

AND THE HOOOOOOOOOOOOME OF THE

BRAAAAAAAAVE!

After a long sigh coming from the singer, everybody else

breathes out sighs of relief while others clap. Gene, on

the other hand, groans.

GENE

Finally! That lady was trying to

test my ability of standing up.

LOUISE

She took like five minutes to sing

an about a minute and a half song.

ANNOUNCER

(excited)

Whos ready for some football?!

The crowd starts cheering as Jimmy Jr. makes the final

decision on their first play.

JIMMY JR

(huskily)

So when Zeke hikes the ball over

to me, Ill pass it onto him and

thatll be our plan. If that fails

our plan B is to be open. Out in

the front! Alright, now hands in.

The players who are playing in the first quarter put theirhands in. As they count to three, they make a chant before

breaking into the play. Zeke stands over in front of Jimmy

Jr with the ball in his hand. He looks at defense straight

in the eye.

ZEKE

Hey, whats that on your shirt?


22/40

The OPPONENT player across from Zeke points to him, looking

down at his jersey. Before he knew it, Zeke flicked his

finger to his face.

ZEKE

Gotcha!

At the bleachers, Bob struggles to take the spoon out of

his tongue before it slips off. He starts exhaling deeply.

BOB

Oh! Finally! That was hell!

LINDA

Well, dont try out scientific

experiments in the restaurant.

Have you learned something?

BOB

Yeah. Dont attempt any more

experiments at home or in the

restaurant. Now my tongue is

frostbitten.

LINDA

Good.

BOB

Im going to the first aid tent.

LINDA

But, Bob, the games about to

start.

BOB

Who cares? Im going.

Bob walks away from the bleachers to the first aid tent

across the field.

EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD DUSK

The players both home and opponent are in position.

After the heads-tails game between two players, Wagstaff

has offense. Jimmy Jr. looks to his left and right.


23/40

JIMMY JR

Twenty-two! Fourty-four! Hut! Hut!

Hike!

Zeke, as the center, hikes the ball over to Jimmy Jr.

before taking on the opponent across from him. As Jimmy Jr.

looks for Zeke, he throws the ball over to Zeke. After

successfully running his way to the field goal fifty yards,

Zeke slams the ball to the ground, dancing a jig.

ANNOUNCER

First touchdown goes to Wagstaff

from number twelve!

A FEMALE ANNOUNCER pitches in the conversation

FEMALE ANNOUNCER

Thats right! Zekes offensive and

defensive skills are off the

charts! Hes also part of

Wagstaffs wrestling team.

ANNOUNCER

Thats right! And that was a quick

play headed by number one, Jimmy

Pesto Jr.

FEMALE ANNOUNCER

Isnt he the son of Jimmy Pesto of

Jimmy Pestos pizzeria?

ANNOUNCER

Sure is! And his pizza is not that

great! Sorry, Jimbo!

EXT. BLEACHERS DUSK

Tina cheers Jimmy Jr. on after he kicks the ball into the

goal, making the score seven to nothing.

TINAWay to go, Jimmy Jr.!

She looks over at the time, which had fourteen minutes,

twenty-five seconds on the clock. Since Tammy wasnt in

sight and Jimmy Jr. looked over at Tina, she blew a kiss

over to him. He playfully catches it with a smile on his

face. Tina quietly giggles in response.


24/40

DISSOLVE TO:

The timer reaches zero in the first quarter. Wagstaff is

leading fourteen to seven. The team goes back to the coach.

COACH

Good game so far, gentlemen! Lookslike weve been practicing! Lets

get down to second quarter. Jimmy,

keep doing what you do best in.

JIMMY JR

Yes, sir!

As the second quarter comes off to a rough, yet decent

start, the team starts falling a little behind. This is

mainly due to the amount of tackling that has been done.

LINDA

(focused on the game)

Wow, those boys sure know how to

tackle.

LOUISE

Tell me about it. (to Gene) I

still dont get why you wouldnt

want to join the football team.

GENE

No!

Bob walks back from the medical tent with nothing. He comes

back with hot food.

BOB

So the doctor recommended me

eating something hot, so I went

ahead and bought these really

steaming hot chicken tenders to

heat up my tongue.

LINDABob, are you sure about this? You

dont want to dirty your suit over

chicken tenders.

BOB

Hes a doctor, Lin! Hes one

hundred percent sure!


25/40

GENE

Can I try one?

Before Gene grabs a chicken tender, Bob slaps his hand.

BOB

No!

Gene groans before Bob takes the first bite out of the hot

chicken tender. After he takes the bite, he yelps.

BOB (CONTD)

Whew! Thats hot! Just what I

needed! That burning sensation on

my tongue at last!

LINDA

Bob, would you calm down just a

bit, its a-

Linda cheers Wagstaff on as they scored a field goal. She

jumps from her seat happily.

BOB

You know what they say! If it

burns, its definitely working!

At the homecoming court bleachers, Tammy looks at Tinas

dress.

TAMMY

(in a sarcastic tone)

Nice dress, Tina! Whered you get

it? The thrift shop?

TINA

(oblivious of sarcasm)

I actually bought this from that

fancy little outlet at the mall.

Thanks for asking!

TAMMYJust give up already! Theres no

way youre going to win.


26/40

TINA

I really dont get why you

continue to hold this grudge

against me. So what? Let bygones

be bygones. Youve accomplished

things over me too.

TAMMY

You dont get it! Im way more

popular than you!

TINA

Popularity doesnt matter. Its a

stupid phase!

TAMMY

Then how come Im in homecoming

court? Oh I know! Because peoplehere respect me and not you!

TINA

You know, Tammy, I have support

too. You see me here, not over

there. You ought to be lucky

youve made it this far. The only

reason youre here is

By that time, the buzzer had hit zero, marking the end of

the second quarter. The announcer speaks from the intercom.

ANNOUNCER

And that makes the end of the

second quarter with Wagstaff

behind seven points! What happened

out there?

FEMALE ANNOUNCER

We do not know! All we know is

that Wagstaffs homecoming queen

will be announced in ten minutes!

Tina stops arguing as she hears the intercom.

TINA

Ten minutes?

TAMMY

Oh no.


27/40

TINA

Whats wrong?

TAMMY

(worried)

My purse!

TINA

Did you look under the bleachers?

Tammy looks under the bleachers and spots it.

TAMMY

Looks like youre not so bad after

all. Watch yourself. Thats the

last warning Im ever giving you.

As Tammy makes her out of the bleachers to retrieve her

purse, Tina walks her way to the family. Bobs tongue is

not all better and he is speaking normally.

LINDA

Oh, your moments coming up!

BOB

Yeah, this is a big night for you,

Tina.

TINA

Hey, dad! I see your tongue isntfrostbitten anymore.

BOB

Yeah, those tenders hit the spot

and I didnt even stain my suit!

LINDA

Your father was craving hot food

for the past two to three hours!

GENE

He didnt even let me have achicken tender! You owe me!

BOB

Okay, fine! Get your own!

Bob gives Gene a five dollar bill.


28/40


29/40

TINA

You make a great representative as

our schools quarterback. Keep up

the good work!

JIMMY JR

And you make a great candidate for

homecoming court. Im rooting for

you.

TINA

(flattered)

Thank you. Im rooting for you

too. I have to get going now, but

good luck out there.

As Jimmy Jr. was going to say something, he was interrupted

by Zeke.

ZEKE

J-Ju! Coach just got injured and

now the ambulance is involved!

Were going to need a back-up

coach!

TINA

Hi Zeke. Oh my god, really?

ZEKE

Yeah! He fell down a flight ofstairs on his way back here! Were

going to need a back up coach for

the second half!

TINA

I know a guy.

TRANSITION TO:

BOB

Im not coaching football.

TINA

But, dad! You have to! You dont

see the ambulance taking the

football coach away to the

hospital?

The ambulance sirens are then heard as Bob sighs in agony.


30/40

BOB

Fine, Ill do it. But only for

this game.

Suddenly, the intercom goes off.

ANNOUNCERAttention all! Our homecoming

queen will be announced in no more

than two minutes! All homecoming

court candidates and escorts

please report to the fifty-yard

line immediately!

TINA

We have to go. Youre my escort,

remember?

BOB

Oh crap! I remembered why Im

dressed up nicely!

Tina and Bob make it to the fifty-yard just in time for the

announcement. Tina holds onto Bobs hand gently.

TINA

Dad, thanks again for your support

over the years and for being my

escort. I know it doesnt make

sense that homecoming is a bigdeal here, but youre one of my

biggest role models. No matter how

many times weve failed, weve

learned from our mistakes. I love

you so much.

She goes over to hug Bob, who tries not to shed a tear. He

hugs her back as a response.

BOB

Thanks, Tina. I love you too.

As Bob and Tina let go of the hug, Mr. Frond walks to the

microphone placed on the line. He holds a gold envelope in

his hands.

MR. FROND

Hello! We have had some major

issues with our own football

coach, but the problem has been

resolved! But first, its time to

announce this years homecoming

queen!

The crowd starts cheering as Linda yells for Bob and Tina.

MR. FROND

Here in this sealed envelope is

our next queen! Get excited! This

was a close round between two

lovely ladies!

As Mr. Frond continues to talk to the microphone, Tammyturns to Tina with an evil smirk on her face.

TAMMY

(whispering)

Your ass is grass!

Tina turns back to Bob, ignoring Tammy, with a hopeful

smile on her face. She clutches onto him as Mr. Frond tears

open the envelope.

MR. FROND

And this years homecoming queentitle goes to Drum roll please!

There is a sudden uproar of people beating on the bleachers

with their hands and feet to act as a drumroll, as well as

other things. Mr. Frond anticipates the crowd by being as

quiet as he could.

MR. FROND (CONTD)

And now! This years homecoming

queen title goes to Tina Belcher!

ZOOM IN: TAMMY GASPS IN DESPAIR, GLARING

ZOOM IN: TINA GASPS IN SURPRISE

Meanwhile, Linda starts yelling out their names.

LINDA

Alriiight! My man and my baby!

Yeah! Suck it, Tammy!

TINA (SIMULTANEOUSLY)

Oh my god!

BOB (SIMULTANEOUSLY)

Oh my god!

TINAI won! I really won!

BOB

(happily)

You really did!

As Bob and Tina walk their way down the red carpet laid out

for the two to walk on, Tina couldnt help but shed tears.

She was crying the happiest shes ever been. A version of

Here She Is, Miss America is playing from the speakers.

Suddenly, last years queen has placed the crown onto

Tinas head after handing her a bouquet of flowers.

TINA

(overwhelmed)

I cant believe it.

After the sash had been put on around her chest, she

couldnt help but to hug Bob tightly.

TINA

I cant believe I won. I just-

BOB

I know, Tina. Im so proud. I bet

your mothers really proud.

Tammy storms away from the game, pacing as she makes her

way out of the field.

TAMMY

I cant believe I lost to that

freak! After all Ive done!

Before she walks any further, she is on the verge ofslipping into the mud pile before feeling a pair of arms

catching her in a trust fall.

ZEKE

Gotcha.

Tammy looks up to find out it had been Zeke. Quickly, she

retrieves herself up out of his hold.


33/40

ZEKE (CONTD)

Come on, you know you like me.

Tammy glares.

TAMMY

(gives a mean look)Does it look like I like you?

ZEKE

I cant tell.

TAMMY

Whatever. Let go of me. Im

getting out of this hell hole.

Tammy leaves the game as Zeke look behind him.

ZEKE

(to himself)

Shes got it bad for me.

Mr. Frond grabs the crowds attention by tapping onto the

microphone.

MR FROND

In about two minutes, we will

start the third quarter! Feel free

to buy concessions over there on

your right and make sure to showyour school spirit loud and proud!

EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD NIGHT

Bob is preparing the team for the third quarter of the game

since paramedics had escorted out the coach to the

ambulance. By now, he had been changed into athletic

clothes.

BOB

So, whats the strategy?

ZEKE

Well, second coach, J-Ju is our

quarterback.

BOB

(raising an eyebrow)

J-Ju?


34/40

JIMMY JR

Thats me, sir.

BOB

Oh. Didnt know that. Anyway,

were going to need to put in our

A-game. Just pretend the opponents

are people you hate.

ZEKE

Will do, kangaroo!

BOB

Dont call me that. Alright, are

we good? Good. Now hands in!

From a distance, Linda is sneaking in wine into a plastic

cup from the concession stand.

LOUISE

Really, mom?

LINDA

Why not? Its not a game without a

little wine.

TRANSITION TO:

EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD MUSIC MONTAGE

Zeke hikes the ball to Jimmy Jr., who throws the ball to an

open player. As the others play defense, the player is

suddenly tackled. A whistle is blown. Second down comes

along, Jimmy Jr. passes the ball to Zeke, bulldozing the

opponents out of the way.

DISSOLVE TO:

A scoreboard shows the score of Wagstaff with seventeen

points. The opponent team with twenty-eight.

TRANSITION TO:

A couple of more plays are made. Wagstaff makes another

touchdown. Zeke throws the ball onto the ground,

celebrating his newly-made touchdown. More plays are made

before Jimmy Jr. is tackled onto the ground. The opponent

team scores a field goal. Wagstaff is still losing by seven

points.

ZEKE

Sir, yes, sir!

BOB

You dont have to call me sir.

ZEKEIts out of respect.

Bob sighs as he thinks about who to take in.

BOB

So, number twenty-five, fill in

for Zeke. Were going to need

someone else on there. Who hasnt

gone? Im just trying to be fair.

REGULAR SIZED RUDY

Mr. Belcher, may I have a go? I

havent played the field all

night, and coach promised me hed

let me tonight.

BOB

Well, Rudy, coach isnt here, but-

REGULAR SIZED RUDY

Please, Mr. Belcher? Ill make

this team proud.

BOB

Fine, go fill in for running back

or something.

REGULAR SIZED RUDY

Thank you so much! If I pass out,

just puff the inhaler in my mouth.

Regular Sized Rudy hands Bob his inhaler, after taking

inhaling into it.

ANNOUNCERWell, it looks like the play is

about to start! Looks like weve

got ourselves a new running back

for Wagstaff: Rudolph Steiblitz,

other known as Regular Sized Rudy!

He is well-known for his asthma.


37/40

After a couple of plays without a change of score, the

crowd seems anticipated and worried from both teams. There

is only one minute left on the clock.

LINDA

Come on, Bobby! You can do it!

TINA

Go, dad!

GENE

Dont let mud go up your butt!

The last play is being made after Zeke calls the play as

quarterback. After much thought, Zeke looks over at Regular

Sized Rudy.

ZEKE

Rude! Go long!

REGULAR SIZED RUDY

What?

ZEKE

I said go long!

As Zeke throws the ball toward Regular Sized Rudy, he keeps

his arms out for the ball. Not knowing the result, the ball

remains lying in Regular Sized Rudys arms. He starts

freaking out.

REGULAR SIZED RUDY

Now what?!

JIMMY JR

(from the sidelines)

Run! Run to the goal!

Rudy tries to calm down, but makes a run for the goal

anyway. He starts panting after he passes the fifty-yard

line. He then runs to the forty-yard line. Regular Sized

Rudy feels himself becoming weak when he reaches thetwenty-yard line. His panting is well audible.

ZEKE

Come on, bud! You got this!

JIMMY JR

Just less than twenty yards!


38/40

ZEKE

You got this, little man! Believe

in yourself and youll make it!

REGULAR SIZED RUDY

I can do it.

He regains a bit of his breath as he makes a run for the

goal. He runs past the ten-yard line, almost to the goal

line. He starts panting again. He continues to say I can

do it! to himself. Only fifteen more seconds is on the

clock. The clock continues to tick as he runs one foot onto

the goal. After his second foot touches the touchdown line,

he looks down at his feet. He falls to the ground after

running out of breath. Bob witnesses Rudys fall.

BOB

Rudy!

As the crowd continues to cheer on Wagstaffs most recent

touchdown, Bob goes running up to Regular Sized Rudy with

his inhaler. He starts puffing the air into his mouth, as

disgusting Bob thinks it is. After several puffs of the

inhaler, Regular Sized Rudy regains his breath.

REGULAR SIZED RUDY

W-What happened?

BOB

You scored the winning touchdown!You did it!

REGULAR SIZED RUDY

I scored a touchdown? I scored a

touchdown! Now I feel like a

normal kid!

ANNOUNCER

And that wraps up the game for

this very tight game! Wagstaff

wins with thirty-eight to thirty-

one, and also on this fabulousnight! Stay safe this weekend and

have a great night!

After Wagstaffs victory, Zeke and Jimmy Jr. pick up the

water dispenser, resulting in Bob being drenched in ice-

cold drinking water. Afterward, the team picked up Regular

Sized Rudy, cheering him on for the win.


39/40

BOB

Good game! Im sure your coach

will love hearing this kind of

news! Good night!

The team take Regular Sized Rudy back to the locker room as

they celebrate. Meanwhile, Linda and the kids catch up with

Bob as hes drying himself off with a towel.

LINDA

Yay, my Bobby brought his team to

victory!

TINA

And I ended up becoming homecoming

queen anyway! I guess I can say it

was effortless.

LOUISE

Oh yeah, that reminds me. I have

to take down all those posters

Monday morning.

LINDA

What posters?

LOUISE

Nothing!

EXT. BOBS BURGERS NIGHT

The Belchers are getting out of the car as they had just

come home from the football game. Gene still looks

disappointed.

GENE

Now Ill never become queen.

Tina looks at Gene with awe, taking off her crown to give

to Gene.

TINA

I feel like you deserve this more

than I do.

GENE

But You dont have to do this, T.

You won it fair and square.


40/40

TINA

Only for my little brother Ill do

it.

GENE

Well Thank you anyway. You can

keep it.

Gene declines the crown offer from Tina, placing on her

head, smiling at her.

GENE (CONTD)

Is it on right?

TINA

Yeah, you pretty much got it in

the perfect place!

The Belchers walk their way into the apartment.

LINDA

Man, I am so hyped up on football!

That game was intense! I feel like

I should attend more of them!

BOB

Lin, no.

LINDA

Id make a great cheerleader!

BOB

Come on, Linda. Youre too old.

LINDA

(playfully taps Bob)

Aw stop, Bobby!
