My Perfect Landing - A Day at Cortez | Family Channel

I have a weird first name. If the magazine people ask me where it comes from, what do I say? Just tell me the story. That's the problem, I don't know the story. No one's ever told you the story. No one ever tells me anything. Where do you think the name June comes from? I always thought it was because I was born in June. But you're born in November. I know! I just thought that November was like the June of Autumn. That's ridiculous. It's more than ridiculous. It's stupid! That's so funny. So tell me. Okay, well, you know how when you were little, we all called you Junior? Because I was named after Dad? Yeah, Hector Junior. But whenever you'd try and say Junior, all that would come up was June! And Dad thought he was so cute, so we all just started calling you June. Wow, I had no idea. So I basically named myself. Yeah. Good job, guys. Make sure you do the inside too, okay? We're gonna be here for a while. Yeah! You just put this all back in storage. This is way too much. You won't be saying that when we're on the cover of the magazine. These can't all be yours. No. Yeah, this one here, that's yours. You won this at the Western Regionals when you were just 14. It's gonna look like we're trying too hard. Trust me. People go nuts when they see a trophy. Ooh, we're getting the cover. I'm here for the article. Hide the hardware. What? Hide it, hide everything, hide me. What are you talking about? Dominic Gasol. He thinks I stole his medal. Wait, is that the guy who used to send all those angry letters to our house? It's one of the guys. You know, maybe he won't remember you. Let's hope. Okay, okay. Okay, yeah, good, okay, good. Good to go, good to go. Mm-hmm. Hi, I'm Whitney. Welcome to Cortez Gymnastics. Pleasure to meet you. I'm Dominic, here for the article. Yes. And you are? I'm Declan Cortez of Cortez Gymnastics. That's Declan. But you can call me Decky. Yeah, I'm Decky. I'm Decky and I just had pie for Brecky. Why does Olivia keep sending you angry emojis? Why were you looking at my phone? I didn't mean to. Why do I have fast eyes? Why is she doing that? She wants to make my life miserable. And don't tell Mom. I won't. I tried it for the school gymnastics team. And Olivia videotaped how good I was. She's gonna send it to Mom. She's gonna ground you for life. I know. I wish Olivia would just get it over with. She's toying with you, like a cat with a mouse, like a police officer about to write you a ticket, like a puppeteer with a... Okay, that's enough with the pep talk. Tumbling tots start in 15 minutes. Let's finish up. You did great, but I have a mission for you. Oh, okay. You and Cassie are gonna go to Cortez Gymnastics. Cassie knows what to do and she'll explain on the way. Got it? We're on it. We're gonna make Jenny quit the team. Have a seat, Decky. This is a... It's a real treat for us. I really, really appreciate you coming out like this. Oh, sorry. I had forgotten your name. Dominic Gasol. We know each other. Not ringing a bell. Don't play dumb. Do you really think I'd forget you? We bowl together? No, you're just making it worse. Okay. Okay, Dominic. So you were favored to win the medal. But I didn't, did I? Because of you, Gus. How in the world could you still be hanging on to that? I'm not. I've moved on. I've got a wife, great family, a nice house with a stone fireplace. So are you gonna write a petty review of Cortez Gymnastics? No. I'm going to write an honest review. Ooh, dust. Very messy. That's chalk. It's a gym. Hmm, argumentative owner? Oh, come on. Careful. You know what? Nobody reads your little magazine anyway. I didn't mean to say that. Yeah, no. That was off the record. I decide what's off the record or not. Play Jenny Says. Wait, you're gonna play? Can I? Sure. Okay, Jenny says touch your toes. No, Jenny says dance super silly. Now Jenny says laugh like crazy. Okay, now do a somersault. I never said Jenny says. How are you all so good at this? Not Olivia again. No, it's Cassie. She said that she's coming over soon with Tori. What if she's coming to show Mom the video? Then I'm dead. What is she doing? Everything okay? Oh, yes. Just a little concerned about the uneven bars. Why? What's wrong? I'm wondering if they're regulations. Could I get your help with a photo for the article? Of course. Where would you like me to stand? Right there's good. Is the sign in the shot? Yes, it is. Take a few. So I have options. You're writing a negative article, aren't you? Can't say. Journalistic integrity. What did Gus say? I don't know Gus. Only Decky. Excuse me for one second. So he clearly remembers you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He wants to take us down. Don't worry about it. Nobody reads the magazine anyway. It's the number one sports magazine in the country. I'm pretty sure some of its readers are gymnasts. Fix this. Fine. What's he doing? My dad started calling me that. And that's how my name was Drew. Okay, you can go. I have all I need. Before you go, darling, I just want to say you're an amazing athlete. And it was an honor to compete against you. Wow. You managed to apologize without saying you're sorry. Fine. I'm sorry. Again, I'm sorry. Oh, it feels so good to hear you finally admit that I would have beaten you. That's not exactly what I said. So you're willing to go on record admitting that you sabotaged me, and that's why you meddled and I didn't. I'm going to need to hear you say the word yes. Yes. Yes, you're absolutely wrong. You know what? I beat you then, and I could beat you right now. I want a rematch right now. We don't have rings here. We can hang off the uneven bars. Oh. First of all, losers. That's why you're out there looking at them. Maybe. Fine. But if I win, you write a good article. Fine. But if I win, this place is toast. Fine. I will bring the butter and some jam. Okay, everyone. Let's see your timeline lines. Good job, Zoe. That was really nice. Good job. Keep your knees straight. Maybe just wait, okay? Wait till I read it. Yeah, that's good. Go ahead. Do a nice present. Jenny. Okay, everyone. I want you to come sit in a circle and think about your favorite animal. Oh, my gosh. This place is so amazing. You live above here? Uh... You're like the luckiest girl in the world. Are you guys making fun of me? Not at all. What are you even doing here? We actually came to talk to you about Olivia. But you can't tell her we're here. Is there somewhere we can talk? Sure. Just give me a second. Okay, everyone. I want you to lie down on the ground and pretend that your arms and legs are so heavy and you can't stand up. But keep trying to get up. Okay. I'm impressed. Okay. I only have a couple minutes, so we have to make this quick. This won't take long. Olivia found out you're back on the team. And she's not happy. I couldn't help it. Miss Allister came here and forced me to join the team again. We heard. And that's why we're here. Yeah. How can we help? You want to help me. Yeah. Okay. You could get Olivia to delete that video of me. Probably not going to happen. The best we could do is convince her to hold off a few days. Maybe you shouldn't come to practice for a little while. Jenny, there you are. Why are some of the tots lying down on the mats asleep? And who are these girls? These are some of the gymnasts from the Canton team. Really? Are you interested in training here? Sure. Right. Oh, we have a lot to offer. Why don't you come with me and I'll give you a little tour. Okay. All right. See you on Monday, Jenny. Or maybe not. How long have you been doing gymnastics? Um, basically forever. Jenny did somersaults when she was in my belly. Mom. Sorry. Your interview. Mm-hmm. So you must really like gymnastics. Yeah, it's all I ever think about. My mom and my grandpa were great gymnasts. And I want to be just like them. And what level are you? I'm a level four. Just level four? Yep, that's me. Just a level four. We just want to keep it fun. You guys are really friendly and caring, you know? Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and humiliate your father. Okay, you just hit the two-minute mark. But I have a question. If it's the first one to fall, why am I timing this? For our PBs. Personal best. Ugh, how are you guys not best friends? Oh, we were. I even introduced you to Martha. She broke my heart. Okay, I'm just gonna leave the stopwatch on the table. No, no, come back. We won't have the exact seconds. One, two, three, four. Just subtract four seconds, okay? Gotta go. Have you ever noticed that there's baby carrots, baby corn, but no baby celery? No, never noticed. Celery's just bored old. Come on, Jenny, that was funny. Sorry. You thinking about Cassie and Tori? Yeah. I don't trust them. I don't trust them either. But it makes me wonder, what would they be like if Olivia was in these rooms? She's the one blackmailing you. Yep. If we could just destroy that video, you can be on the team, right? Well, it would make my really complicated life a little less complicated. Let me think on that. June, don't do anything crazy. Me? Never. Are you hurting? No. Really? Because your arms are shaking. With rage? How can you still be mad at me after all these years? Because you sabotaged me. Sabotaged you how? You took me to that country and western bar. O'Leary's? Yeah, and then you got me up in that mechanical bull. You're the one that wanted to ride it for an hour. Because you got the crowd all wound up, and it destroyed my arms. I've fallen on my keys. You're leaving? Yes, I am. Oh. No hard feelings. My arms don't even work. You've humiliated me again. It's pretty cool how Jenny gets to live above the gym. Tori, we don't have to keep pretending we like her. Right. Sorry. How did it go? You scared me. Hey, Olivia. Did you convince her to skip practice on Monday? We tried, but we don't know for sure. We think she won't. She's terrified of you sending that video. She should be. Is this their brochure? Their logo as a pelican? So late. They'll lame it. Right? Show me something, Jenny! Watch this. Nice one, sis. Wait till you see this. What did you decide to do about Cassie and Tori? Nothing yet. You know what? Tomorrow's another day. Let's go eat. Hurry up. I'm hungry. Sorry. You know you're doing the dishes. Yeah. Forever. Yeah, yeah. Look, I'm sorry, Whitney. I messed up. What can I say? Dominic Pope, the competitive beast. I should have known by now. You cannot back down from a challenge. I bet you I can. Don't worry, Grandpa. No matter how bad this article is, there'll be others. Yeah, just make sure next time the writer isn't holding a 40-year grudge against you. Oh, boy. Dominic just sent me his article. How bad is it? I don't know. I can't read it. Jenny, you read it. Why? Are you too scared? No, no. I just don't have my glasses. If you're looking for a club that will push you to your limits, then look no further. Run by the veterans of the sport, Cortez Gymnastics is truly a place that can help you, like it helped this writer, overcome your obstacles, and just let it go. Dominic said that? That sounds good. Oh, listen to this. Five-star facility, welcoming coaches. June, he complimented us on the delicious, nutritious juices. Dominic, I always liked that guy. Oh, this family-run business really does show you that sometimes the strongest team is the one you're born with. That guy's right. We make a great team. I guess we have a lot to celebrate. To Cortez Gymnastics. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To the club. And to Hector. To Dad. Jenny, you didn't click the... It's all right. You always gotta look at the eyes when you do it.
