A New Start Transcript

Peg [VO]: Dear diary, today is my first day of high school at PBS High, a school where people like me fit in. Ever since six years ago, Cat and I were unstoppable when it comes to really BIG problems. But now, I'm 14, and things are just starting to change. [sighs] I miss Ramone, Aki, Richard, and all the famous people I met when I was 8. I hope you would find this understanding that this high school year is going to be totally awesome! Yours truly, Peg.

Peg: [closes up her diary] [sighs] Dang it. And this is just getting totally ridiculous.

Cat: What? You're talking crazy, Peg! The new school year can't be THAT bad. Besides, as long as you have me, everything will be fine.

Peg: Thanks, Cat, but what is the deal with HIGH SCHOOL?! It has been six years, and I'm still a little nervous about this.

Cat: Oh, come on! Cheer up! This school is the only one you're attending. Trust me. There will be new lessons, new friends, and new adventures just waiting for you, Peg.

Peg: But what if they don't like me? What if I'm not good for this school? What if I mess up and end up getting into trouble?! I am TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

[Cat blows a whistle]

Cat's right. I should count backwards from five to calm down. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. [gasps] That's it, you genius cat! You're pointing at my friends, Sarah and Angelina, who are coming right towards me to say hello!

Sarah: So, Angie, are you more of a Pop or a Hip Hop music kind of girl?

Angelina: I don't know. I think I'm more of a classical music girl myself.

Sarah: Oh. No wonder it's ballet-themed music.

Angelina: Of course, it is.

Sarah: [gasps] PEEEEEEEEEEG!

Peg: Hi, Sar- [grunts]

Sarah: Oh, Peggy, I've missed you so much! It's been a long time since I last saw you!

Peg: [strained] It's...good to see you, too.

Cat: Um, Peg?

Angelina: Sarah! I think that's enough hugging for one moment.

Sarah: Oops. Sorry, Peg! Guess I got a little carried away.

Peg: It's okay. No harm done. [notices Angelina] Angelina?

Angelina: Peg? It really is you! How stupendous! Look at how much you've grown! You're getting even taller than me and Sarah! [notices Peg's hat] Oh. And you're still wearing that hat. I think it's about time you get rid of that thing.

Peg: [slaps on Angelina's hand] The hat STAYS!

Angelina: Oh! How dare you! That was so rude! Slapping my hand like that!

Peg: [gasps] Excuse me?! Oh. Sorry.

Cat: Oooooohh! Looks like someone did not think before she act! [laughs]

Peg: Cat, shut up! Sorry about that, Ange. I didn't know what had it in me.

Angelina: It's okay, Peg.

Sarah: Well, that was awkward.

Angelina: So, shall we go inside? New lessons aren't going to learn themselves, you know.

Sarah: Eeeeee! I am so excited to learn about different types of art! How about you, Peg?

Cat: Yeah, Peg. You should try it out.

Peg: Um, well....

[Cat, Sarah, and Angelina, looking at Peg, sweetly]

Okay. I'll do it!

[cheering]

Cat: I am so glad you made up your mind.

Angelina: Me, too.

Sarah: Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!

Angelina: [giggling] Coming, Sarah!

Peg: Hey, Cat, I'll see you soon, okay?

Cat: Okay. Bye, Peg. Have fun!

Peg: Bye, Cat! [inhales, sighs] PBS High, here I come.
