[Ben] This is gym class,
once a week with Coach Payne.
My favorite activity?
It's hard to choose,
maybe because I'm terrible
Uh, mediocre
Not great at any of them.
[grunts]
Oh!
But worst of all
is the wall.
Come on, soldiers,
climb out of those trenches.
Get to higher ground.
Victory awaits!
Every kid for himself!
[grunting]
-Ow!
-Oh, man!
[chuckles]
Huh? One soldier left, Benjamin Love,
the last man standing.
We're relying on you, Ben.
I'd really like to, but I can't.
I have a, uh A pain.
Pain is my middle name, and my surname,
which can be confusing.
But real pain is gain,
so get up to the top of that wall,
soldier! Up, up, up!
Uh, just try to imagine you're not you.
And whatever you do, don't look down.
Don't look down. Don't look down!
People keep on learnin' ♪
Soldiers keep on warrin' ♪
World keep on turnin' ♪
'Cause it won't be too long ♪
Ah! Help!
[sighs] All right.
Class, we have a new mission.
Sergeant Stephanie,
bring that soldier home!
Yes, sir, Coach Payne sir!
Wow, you're really good.
Do you think you could give me
some pointers?
You want my advice, Benjamin?
[yelps]
Leave it to the experts.
[sighs]
-[chattering and giggling]
-Whoo-hoo!
[panting]
Hey, Benny, I climbed the wall!
It's really easy!
Oh, wow, Ella. [chuckles]
Where'd you learn that?
[Coach Payne]
Gym class, that's where!
And next week you'd better
be able to hustle up that wall,
or you'll be doing push ups
till graduation!
Class dismissed!
[Ben] That was a disaster.
I'm never going to gym again.
Or school!
Oh, come on.
For someone who's afraid
of heights, you did great.
I mean, you almost made it,
halfway up, without crying,
before the rescue.
Okay, yep, it was a disaster.
Uh, It could have been worse.
Really? How?
If it happened to me,
yeah, that'd be worse. [chuckles]
[Angie] Hey, guys.
If anyone knows about heights,
it's Skywriter.
Maybe she can help.
Uh, kinda seems like
Skywriter needs our help.
Her wing! It It looks caught.
Oh, no!
Okay, then we gotta go.
ABC, easy as one, two, three!
Help!
Skywriter! What happened?
Oh, Benny,
I was flying along, head in the clouds,
and I, um,
I got myself in a bit of a tangle.
Do you think you could climb up
and give me a wing?
I mean, uh, a hand?
Oh, I could climb,
but maybe Jimmy Mack
could fly up and help.
He'll be way faster.
Yeah, well, if you can find him.
I've been calling for Jimmy for ages,
but you guys were the first to arrive.
Oh, that's not like Jimmy!
We're gonna go find Jimmy
and come get you.
Don't move, Skywriter!
It's not like I'm going anywhere.
Jimmy?
[whistles] Jimmy Mack!
This is his favorite stretch of road.
Where is he?
-[Jimmy growls and coughs]
-[Ben gasps]
Aah-ha-ha!
I feel rotten!
What happened to him?
Too many late nights
driving on the speedway.
[chuckles]
So what brings you groovers here?
It's Skywriter. She's in trouble!
Huh? My pipes are clogged up.
I can't hear anything.
I said, Skywriter needs our help!
"Help"? No problem!
I'll be all right!
[groaning]
Get down!
Achoo!
Whoa! Jimmy!
You are burning up!
You ain't going nowhere!
But maybe I can help instead?
[groaning]
Get it together, Skywriter!
[panting]
You're all in a flap!
[gasps]
So, how're we gonna get up there?
We dance, in an upward fashion.
It's gonna be skynomite! [laughs]
[gulps]
We got this, Ben.
You can be our man on the ground.
Yeah, keeping watch.
Keeping watch? For what?
No, no, I have to try.
Okay.
Just whatever you do, don't look down!
This one's for you, Coach Payne.
