I don't know what I should have for lunch.
What are you having?
Meat loaf and apple pie.
Which one's which?
I have no idea.
Well, I see we got the same lunch.
Macaroni and cheese and chicken soup.
That's macaroni and cheese?
I thought it was a cookie.
The food here stinks.
No wonder the daily special's the heimlich maneuver.
Someone should do something about it.
Attention, students. Just a reminder
Just a reminder that school elections are in 3 weeks.
So, show your spirit. Run for something.
Also, to the person who stole my pants,
Could you please return them?
No questions asked.
That's what I'm gonna do.
You're going to return that guy's pants?
No. I'm going to run for school president.
So I can make a difference.
Starting with this meat loaf.
That's not meat loaf. That's a brownie.
I'm going to the school office to sign up.
Hey, do me a favor.
While you're there,
Would you return that guy's pants?
Here I am in your life
Here you are in mine
Yes, we have a suite life
Most of the time
You and me, we got the world to see
So come on down
Just me and you know what to do
So come on down
It's you and me and me and you
We got the whole place to ourselves
You and me, we got it all for free
So come on down
This is the suite life
We've got a suite life
The Suite Life of Zack & Cody S02E07 Election
Guess what, mom.
This will soon be the presidential suite.
Is Moseby kicking us out?
No. I'm going to run for school president.
That's wonderful news.
Eh.
I am very proud of you,
And I'm rooting for you to win.
Zack, maybe you should run for something.
Like treasurer. You like money.
Who wants to go
To boring student council meetings?
Even if one of those boring meetings
Is in...hawaii?
Hawaii?
That's right.
It's turn out this year's convention
Of middle school presidents is on Maui.
- Wowee. - Wowee.
Mom, I've just decided to run for school president.
Well, this should go smoothly.
You can't be the president of the school.
You don't even know where it is.
Do so.
It's the last stop on the bus.
And when I get off that bus,
I'm gonna kick your butt in the election.
Will not.
You're all flash.
You're no substance.
People will see right through you.
Right, mom?
Mom's on my side now.
Right, mommy?
I'm on both your sides.
Hey, that's a cop out.
Yes, it is. Have some cake.
Ok, here we go.
Now the elevator will run more efficiently.
Why the sudden interest in efficiency?
Well, it's not because Irv Weldon made the cover
Of hotel engineering quarterly, I can tell you that.
The most efficient man in the hotel business.
I'm gonna soup this baby up
So it goes 200 percent faster.
I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
Arwin?
Heads up.
Oh, great.
I knocked the lights out.
Oh, they're on.
Maddie, I need your help.
I'm running for school president.
Congratulations. What's your platform?
Vote for Zack.
That's your slogan.
Your platform covers the issues
That matter to you.
What do you care about?
I care about people who vote for Zack.
I, on the other hand, am running
Because I actually care about the school.
Zack's only goal is to go to hawaii.
No. That's my main goal.
My other goal is to impress the babes
With my power.
A campaign should be centered around ideas.
That's how you get votes.
No, it isn't.
You get votes the same way you get shoes.
You buy them.
Not true.
People want a candidate
Who best reflects their views.
And who will put those views in action.
Oh, Maddie...
Dear, sweet, nave, Maddie.
That's naive.
You bet it is.
I like what I'm hearing here, London.
I should've gone to you for advice.
About politics?
Please, she thinks debate
Is what you use to catch "Da fish."
Oh, yeah?
You want my help and my cash,
You got it.
Well, how about I help you with your campaign?
We'll prove that people care about the issues.
Well, we'll prove the only thing people care about
Is a winning smile and great hair.
Both of which I have.
I have your hair and your smile.
Yeah. But on me, it works.
Come on, Cody. Let's talk strategy.
Come on, Zack. Let's talk outfits.
Vote for Cody.
Here you go, Bob.
What's this?
It's my platform.
The list of things I want to do as president.
Oh, do I have to read it?
Well, you do if you
Want to be an informed voter.
The least you could do is recycle.
That's number three.
Watch it, watch it.
Cody, move it.
What is this?
It's a poster of our future president.
I thought you were voting for me.
Oh, I was, but Zack promised
I could be an ambassador.
To where?
Who cares. I get a jacket.
What other stupid promises is he making?
Whoo, ice cream.
Ok. Now he's gone too far.
Zack Zack, he loves his peops
Cody just puts you to sleep
Go, Zack!
A vote for Zack martin
Is a vote for happiness.
Now you're promising happiness
Hey, hey, hey.
Get your own campaign vehicle.
Nice to meet you.
Who wouldn't be happy
With free ice cream and a skate park?
Yeah.
Skate park?
We should be putting school money
Towards important things
Like funding for science and art supplies.
I'm all for helping out with the arts.
Whoa...
Super models!
Vote for me,
And there'll be a super model
In every art class.
Male ones, too.
I plan to introduce legislation
To give students an extra 2 minutes
To get to and from classes.
That's cute, Cody.
Ooh, are you voting for me?
No. Zack promised when he's elected president,
He's going to make me his queen.
Hey.
Yeah?
Ambassador? Queen?
Who's going to be your court jester?
Back out now
And the job is yours, clown boy.
Nice to meet you.
Hope you guys vote for me.
Mr. Moseby.
I know the elevator thing
Didn't go as well as we'd hoped.
Or I'd hoped.
If there's ever an elevator olympics,
We're sure to win the gold.
Let me make it up to you
With my new 24 hour bellhop.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Come to papa.
Huh?
Huh? This will increase efficiency by 13.4 percent.
And how did you arrive at that figure?
I made it up.
Now allow me to demonstrate.
No. Please don't.
You put the luggage on the cart,
We flip this switch,
And voila.
And back.
Arwin, it works.
Yes.
It does.
And it can go faster.
Please don't make it go faster.
Too late.
Ha ha. There she goes.
And then...
I bring it to a gentle stop.
Arwin, it's not stopping.
Or not. It's just it's got a little...
Arwin, it's moving.
Arwin, it's coming around!
It's jammed, it's jammed.
When I stop it, I get a turn, ok?
Oh, I'm gonna have to use the manual brake.
Oh, no!
It's got a mind of its own!
That's more than I can say for you.
That hurts.
Mr. Moseby.
What?
I'm king of the world!
Oh, but we're not allowed to play in here.
So how did it all go today?
Not bad.
I got the entire science club to vote for me.
Ha! My guy's got the entire
Science club voting for him.
Tell her how many votes that is, Cody.
Four.
Your guy is going down!
Says you.
This stinks.
I'm offering good ideas,
But Zack's promising ice cream, super models,
And skate parks.
I don't even want to vote for me anymore.
You can't give up.
I am sick of London
Buying everything she wants.
We're going to show her
That our precious democratic process
Is not for sale!
How?
We're going to steal it.
With dirty tricks.
But doesn't that go against
Everything you believe in?
Yes.
But in this case,
The end justifies the means.
Just promise me no one will get hurt.
I can't make that promise.
Oddly, I'm ok with that.
Vote for Zack, get a free Tipton pen.
Here you go.
There's plenty more where these came from.
Is there a special pen for the queen?
Sure, it's...
This one.
I'll only use it to write royal decrees.
Of love.
Great.
There's some royal paper...
Way down there.
I see my people still adore me.
Well, you do make them laugh.
What do you mean?
"A vote for Zack
Is a vote for a doofus?"
Cody.
You backstabbing, lowlife jerk!
You better be talking to him.
I am.
Well, don't talk to him like that.
He deserves it.
He ruined all my posters.
Cody, that was wrong.
Well, Zack's trying to buy the election.
That's wrong, too.
Yeah, you no good cheater!
- Loser! - Whimp!
- Crybaby! - Doof!
And I thought this election
Would come between you.
You're just jealous because I'm winning.
That's what you think.
Did you see those people laughing in the hall?
Who, your geek friends?
All you proved is that you're childish,
And I look great in a mustache.
You'd look better with a bag over your head.
Well, I guess I'll be eating alone.
Hey, Carey.
Ok.
Don't be alarmed.
I'm just here to clean your windows.
See how efficient this is, Mr. Moseby?
It's fast, easy
And nothing can go wrong.
Hey, look.
I picked up a little hitchhiker.
Uh-oh. Sweet mother of pearl.
Is that a hawk?
Oh, this isn't gonna be pretty.
Oh, look.
Tipton towels for your voters.
I'll show Maddie how to buy an election.
Great.
I got the picture of Cody you asked for.
They want to play dirty, we'll play dirtier.
And if they play dirtier, we play dirtier-er.
This is perfect.
This will crush him.
You sure we're not going too far?
No. Too far would be dumping Cody
On a cargo ship to South America.
Where he'll spend the rest of his miserable life
Working the copper mines.
You've done this before?
Let's just say someone worked here before Moseby.
Mr. Moseby, I just wanted to apologize again
For landing on that guest.
I guess I'm no Irv Weldon.
Actually, since the employees
Heard you were building robots to replace them,
Efficiency has gone up 32.5 percent.
How did you arrive at that number?
I made it up.
Great work, Arwin.
Thank you.
Arwin...
Cody needs your help.
Arwin...
Neck.
The speeches for class president are today.
This is my last chance to show the voters
That a serious candidate,
Who wants to improve
their math and science programs
Can also be exciting.
Arwin!
Look, we know Zack's going
to do something really flashy,
And this is my boy's last chance to wow the votes.
Ok. I'll get my skates and ukulele.
Vote for Zack.
He'll wipe up the floor with Cody.
Get it?
Wipe up the floor? Towels?
But why don't you want to wipe me up?
You don't think my candidacy is a threat to you?
I didn't know you were running.
Yeah, me, either.
I just decided.
Oh, you want a button?
It's just a piece of paper.
Yeah, with tape.
How are we doing?
Great. But we're running out of towels.
No problem.
I brought some mini shampoos and conditioners.
Cool. We'll tell them to wash
Cody right out of their hair.
Get it?
No, see, it's like, when you have shampoo,
And then you want to wash Cody...
Vote for Zack. Vote for Zack.
So, still trying to bribe your way to victory?
Yeah, and it's still working.
Where's your candidate?
Oh, he'll be here,
And he's gonna make your silly, little shampoos
Look like...
Silly...little shampoos.
Vote for Cody. Vote for Cody.
Vote for Cody.
Fellow students.
The P.A. Announcer couldn't be here today.
Someone stole all his clothes.
So I'll be your impartial moderator.
And when Zack's selected,
Your queen.
Way to be impartial.
Our first speaker is Bob.
Ok, please, please, please.
Ok, that's enough. Hold the applause.
Hi, I'm Bob,
And I'd like to be president because,
Well, it's not like I have anything else to do.
My cable's out.
Anyway, remember, a vote for Bob
Is a vote for Bob.
Oh, thanks, sis.
That's my brother.
At this time,
I'd like to formally withdraw from the race.
It was great speaking to you.
I would've got sunburned in Hawaii anyway.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Your best candidate.
And my future king.
All hail Zack Martin!
Thank you!
Thank you. Thank...
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Now...
Usually, at this point, I would tell you
What I would do as your president.
Then, my opponent would do the same.
But apparently...
My opponent is too scared to show up.
Oh, by the way,
In order for you to make an informed decision,
I thought you might want to see
What Cody looks like...
When he's afraid.
Now, is that what you want from a president?
No one ever said, when the going gets tough,
The tough grab blankie.
Just remember, Cody Martin
Wrong for 8th grade.
Wrong for America.
Says who?
Stop me.
Thank you.
Rock on.
Ok, ladies and gentlemen,
Students of all ages.
Young voters, I present to you
Your next president.
A man with his feet planted firmly on the ground.
Cody martin!
Cody! Cody!
Cody! Cody! Cody! Cody!
Well, at least you were
wearing your helmet, and, uh...
Padded underwear.
Well...
Now that I have your attention
With that exciting entrance,
I'd like to focus on what really matters.
The look on your face
When you hit the wall?
No.
The issues.
Starting with academics.
For example, if you get a bad grade on an assignment,
You should get another chance.
Oh, that's just...
Not a bad idea actually.
And if we get nervous during a test,
Can we all bring our blankies?
I can't watch this.
That's ok.
I'll show it to you later.
And we should let local restaurants
Open up food stands at lunch
So we can have more variety.
I'd go for a taco stand.
Yeah. Everyone can wear their feety pajamas, too.
I'm a fan of the feety pajamas because they're warm.
You know, most of your body heat
Escapes from your head and your feet.
Well, I want to escape from this speech.
Cody, throw in the towel.
Get it?
Towel? Throwing?
And at the end of the day--
We can grab our blankie and go nite nite.
Hey! Quit picking on him!
You've been picking on him all week.
That's because he's my brother.
It's my job.
You've gotta give him a chance.
Get out of my way.
Look, Cody actually has some great ideas.
I got nothing.
What about ice cream and skate parks?
Yeah? Yeah?
Like that'll happen.
What, do you still believe in the tooth fairy?
You people would be lucky
To have Cody as your president.
Vote for Cody, or don't vote
Because I'm withdrawing from the race.
Zack's right. Let's not vote.
Yeah. Yeah.
Ok. That's not what I meant.
Vote, but vote for Cody.
Well, I for one am--
Voting for Cody.
You don't go to school here.
Oh. Well, if I went to school here,
I'd vote for Cody.
Come on. Say it with me.
Cody!
Cody! Cody! Cody! Cody! Cody!
None of you are getting shower caps.
Thank you.
Thanks. Sorry about the mustache.
Sorry about the blankie picture.
Cody, I want you to know,
I'm voting for you.
Will you make me your queen?
How about a hall monitor?
Can I wear a crown?
- Yes. - Done.
