[young woman] There's An Old Legend About A Magnetic Mountain.
Sailors in wooden ships stayed away from it
because it would pull the nails right out of their ships.
Magnetism can get pretty strange.
It's got this push-pull thing called "polarity."
It's kind of like some people,
one minute attracting you to them, like crazy.
and the next minute pushing you away.
I never thought about that too much one way or the other
until one day when school was planning
its annual spring break science fair.
That's when I found out that Magnetism could be pretty dangerous
in the wrong hands.
See? The practical range of music
extends from about 40 to about 4,000
vibrations per second.
Our experiment tries to--
well, if--if you can...
are you listening to me?
-Sure. -Oh, yeah.
He is so totally my type.
-Yeah, but he's so totally stuck-up. -I know.
I don't get what he's got to be so stuck-up about.
Your experiment must've affected your eyes.
My eyes are fine.
That is Zach Stewart.
Everyone calls him "Mr. Magnetism."
Yeah, I know, everybody except me.
Actually, Jack, Zach has won, like,
every competition in the entire school,
and he's a cinch to win the science fair,
so you can forget about your little tuning forks.
Yeah, his experiment is a lot...
fancier.
Yeah.
Thanks, but I can handle it.
You can probably handle anything,
touring and all.
I was just being a gentleman.
So what are you working on over there?
Oh, it's this really cool thing about, like, sound frequencies--
Yeah, I'm working on electromagnetic waves.
How exciting... for you.
Oh, thanks. Would you like see it?
Actually, I've still got a lot left to do on my experiment.
Yeah, suit yourself.
You just snubbed Zach Stewart.
I did not snub him.
I just gave him some of his own medicine.
We were just talking to Jack about Mr. Magnetism's stuck-up-edness problem.
Okay, guys, just because he's cute...
really cute,
does not mean he's better than the rest of us.
Your faith is touching, Annie.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
Oh, never heard that one before.
Annie, I think inside Zach Stewart
is just more Zach Stewart.
Yep.
Let's put the speaker over there.
I thought spring vacation was supposed to be fun.
-This is just work. -Okay, less complaining,
more lifting.
I think I got off to a bad start before.
Yeah, I think you did.
Sometimes I get kind of nervous.
-You do? -Yeah.
Everyone thinks I'm so... whatever, you know.
Everyone's afraid to talk to me,
so when they do, I just start doing the cool thing--
you know, "Mr. Magnetism."
-I get it. -So, anyway,
I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
No biggie.
-And... -And what?
I want to know if you'd go to the movies with me sometime?
-Okay. -Okay?
-Yeah. -Okay...great.
Great. Okay. I'll see you. Yeah.
So what did Zach Stewart want?
To go to the movies...
with me.
-Shut up. -Look, Annie,
just admit that you're lying, and we'll forget all about it.
I wish I could, but I can't.
I'm going to the movies with Mr. Magnetism.
Oh, so now He's Mr. Magnetism.
Look who's stuck-up now.
Guys, I can't help it if the coolest guy in school
wants to go to the cinema with me.
-Hey guys. -Annie, what's happening to you?
It's like you're turning into Ms. Magnetism.
-Jack... -Hi.
Hi. So, what movie do you want to see?
Movie? What are you talking about?
Oh, um, the movie we were going to.
Uh...
I think you must be mistaken.
Why would I ask you to the movies?
I mean, doesn't that sound just a little weird?
You know, I'm Zach Stewart, remember?
Whatever.
Come on, work.
What is wrong with you?
Hey, Jack, what're you doing here?
I have to put away our experiment.
Otherwise, you're not at the top of my must-see list.
Oh, you're talking about that little misunderstanding in the hallway.
I think that misunderstanding was yours.
I think you misunderstood how to be a human,
which is too bad, because I think you'd probably make a good one
if you tried.
-So you want to see how it works? -Ok.
It precisely manipulates the field strength of electromagnetic waves.
Metal shavings...
So...I think it's pretty obvious. Don't you?
What is?
That I'm going to kick everyone's butt at the science fair.
I've got some work to do.
How did you do that?
Hey, you should know by now. I'm Mr. Magnetism.
Come on, come on, come on! Oh!
-Hey -What is it with guys, anyways?
Thinking they're so...
-so... -Cool?
Yeah. I mean some guys are just as good-looking as others guys,
so why is one of them more cool than the rest?
Some guys aren't even that good-looking, Jack,
and they're the coolest of them all.
-It's not about looks. -It's more of an inner thing.
Duh. So how do you tell a guy he's not cool?
-You don't. -Well, what about you, Jack?
I mean, you're cool, and you're still a nice guy.
Yeah, I am, aren't I?
Annie, I'm kidding.
-Hubris? -Hubris...
Hubris. "Excessive pride or self-confidence
resulting in punishment."
-Hey. -Hey.
Look, Annie, guys...
-Yeah? -Guys are different.
They're good and all--
I mean, I'm one of them. Okay, there's the guy,
and then there's, like, all the guy's stuff,
and some guys have more than others. See?
-I think. -You have to get through all the stuff
in order to find the real guy,
and Zach Stewart, he's got a lot of stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah...
This experiment is going to make me
the greatest student in the history of Hope Springs.
Let's see what this baby can do.
Too much! Too much!
Zach?
Zach, are you here?
Anyone in here?
Hello, Annie.
What's going on?
You're magnetized.
This is too strange.
How did this happen?
I just turned on the machine, and...
it was unbelievable. It's like something
caused the magnetic waves to...
I don't know,
maybe act on the iron in my blood.
This can't be good.
-Is this awesome or what? -Are you hurt?
No. Just help get this off me.
This is beyond weird, Zach.
You have to find a way to neutralize it somehow.
No way. I've created something unique, a human magnet.
It's a scientific breakthrough.
Don't you think you're getting just a little carried away?
Hardly. This is a dream come true.
Look at this. I can feel it in my hand.
I can draw it to me without touching it.
This is wild, Annie...
and look at that clock.
Slow down, Zach, Okay? We have to talk about this.
Annie, no magician could ever do all this stuff.
There's no end to it.
We have to fix this. We have to stop it somehow.
You keep your nose out of my business,
or you'll be sorry...
because now I really am Mr. Magnetism.
Hey, Zach, can I join you?
Sure.
Thanks.
So, anyway, you know,
some of the people around school think you've got an attitude.
Some people in school are losers.
I was actually talking about Annie.
-What'd she tell you? -About what?
Nothing, I just don't want her messing up something good.
Look, Zach, if you don't want to talk, then just say so.
You don't have to throw food at me.
That's really funny, Zach. Stop it.
All right... Annie said try, so I tried.
You tell Miss Goody Two-Shoes to mind her own business.
Was something funny?
No.
Okay...
Oh, man, this just isn't my night.
Zach?
Molly?
Tomorrow I want to sing my song for the science fair,
but with different lyrics.
Different lyrics? Why?
I don't really have any other way to...
help somebody.
So you think if you put the words into lyrics,
this person will finally hear and understand.
It's kind of my last shot.
This is really important to you, huh?
Important enough for me to stay up all night composing lyrics.
Don't stay up all night, okay?
Thank you so much.
-Good night, honey. -Good night.
-We've got to stop meeting like this. -Was that you last night?
-What are you talking about? -You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah. I was mad at you for sticking your nose into my business.
Do you know how messed up that was, how it scared me?
-Yes. -You don't realize what you're doing.
It's a power, Annie, a power nobody else in the world has ever had.
-No way. -You can't imagine what it's like.
It's totally exceptional.
I want you to see what it's doing to you.
You don't understand, Annie.
I can either draw something to me...
or, pow...
repel it like the opposite pole of a magnet.
I control it...
-and now I'm going to give it to you. -What?
Maybe then you'll realize how great it is to be me.
Zach, a lot of kids think you're cool,
and they get all weak around you,
but they don't really know who you are.
I want to know you. I could be a really good friend.
You just have to get over this, okay?
I don't want to get over this.
Well, there's nothing left to talk about, then.
Ready to be Ms. Magnetism?
-Zach, no! -Come on, Annie.
Annie!
Go on. You're a loser--
A loser!

Please, Zach, stop.
Zach... you're scaring people.
Somebody's going to get hurt, man. This isn't funny.
You don't see what you're doing to yourself and to everybody.
Maybe you're right...
or not.
My name is Zach Stewart. You all know me.
Pretty soon, everyone in the world will know my name,
because the experiment I'm submitting to the fair
is me, Mr. Magnetism.
Zach!
-No, no. Let me go. -Take it easy, son.
-We're just going to check you out. -[Zach] No!
Is he going to be all right?
We'll take some X Rays, but I think he'll be fine.
No, no X Rays. You can't.
The radiation might reverse the magnetism.
Don't let them take the power. Don't let them!
I'm Mr. Magnetism.
I'm Mr. Magnetism!
