Screenplay data
Pregnant cheerleader Diane Weston and her quarterback boyfriend Jack Bartlett struggle financially after being denied a home loan, leading Diane to devise a plan to rob a bank with her cheerleading squad. The squad, including Kansas Hill, Cleo Miller, Hannah Wold, and Lucy, visits Kansas's mother in prison for advice on bank robbery, where they are introduced to a specialist named Mink. They acquire ski masks and gun parts from an exterminator, practice their robbery at the school's lunch ticket table, and attend Lamaze classes while planning their heist. The cheerleaders successfully rob the bank inside a Safeway, celebrating their newfound wealth and purchasing a crib for Diane's baby. However, their actions lead to a police investigation, social isolation at school, and a confrontation with former squad member Lisa Janusch before a S.W.A.T. team arrives to apprehend them.

Diane Weston, Lisa Janusch, Kansas HillThis just came from the National High School Cheerleading Association. You might want to look it over before you try any more "cradle dismounts..." Oh, or before you think about robbing another bank.
With all due respect, Jack and Diane Bartlett... do not accept charity. We are two young, able-bodied Americans. We do not want a handout. We want a hand-up.
Y'know what? I'll save you the time. I'm not going to lie. I don't believe in it. If you pick your ass - I'm going to tell people.
Better enjoy it now. 'Cause tomorrow some little kid falls down a well and we're nothing but a distant memory.
We're dead! They showed this prison movie to my youth group on Sunday.
Well...it's a little more than we wanted to spend, but we'll take it!
Di? I just called to say that Conan talked about us again last night.
Hey, Di, if we have a girl, we should dress her like Little Debbie!
