"Footloser" is the 7th episode of the first season of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Max asks Zack to be her partner on the dance competition being held at Friday, and Max specifically says not to do anything dangerous that will affect their dancing, but Zack ignores her warning and breaks his foot, and sends Cody to pretend to be Zack, and become Max's partner.

Story

The episode starts when Max was searching who is going to be her couple in the "Go Dance USA" competition. When she sees Zack and Cody dancing, she chooses Zack. When Max and Zack pass the first round, Zack falls down and hurts his ankle. In an effort to help Max Cody replaces him in the competition. When Carey finds out she tells Zack that having Cody replace him is cheating. After finding out the truth Max and Cody are disqualified from "Go Dance USA", but London, who is a celebrity judge for the show, gives them a 10 because she likes their costumes.

Quotes

Cody: Mom, don't be mad.

Carey: I'm not mad. I'm.

Max: (interrupts) Furious. I told you not to do the move and what did you do? You did the move! That dented trophy should have been ours.

Carey: Max is right. And you young man.

Max: (interrupts again) I don't even know where to start. Yes I do. I told you not to do anything stupid. And what do you do? You do something stupid. You're worse than Harry Stupidini here.

Cody: See, he's even better than me at being worse.

Max: You know what your problem is?

Carey: Honey, can I take it from here?

Max: Good luck! Maybe they'll listen to you.

London: (talking to the producer doing a microphone check) Ah, you're horrible. You're gonna kill the show. And aren't you a little old to be a dancer?

Maddie: That's not a contestant. That's the producer.

London: (to the producer) Kidding. Love the dress. (to Maddie) Why didn't you stop me?

Maddie: I didn't know you were gonna' say something stupid. (London stares at Maddie) Okay, I did.

Zack: Cody, don't tell Max I hurt my ankle.

Cody: You're gonna have to tell her some time.

Zack: No, she'll beat my insides out. And I like my insides in.

Zack: See, Cody. You finally found your talent. It's looking like me.

Maddie: London, money can't buy you friends. You make friends by being nice to people.

London: But that seems harder.

Maddie: No, no, no, no. It's really easy to say nice things to people. Watch. London, you are, uh.

London: Yes?

Maddie: This is hard. Oh, wait, got one. Deep down, I suspect you're a good person.

London: Aw, thank you.

Maddie: Uh, you're supposed to say something nice back.

London: Well, I said thank you.

Maddie: (exasperated) You're welcome.

Cody: Hey, Max.

Max: Hey, Cody, where's Zack?

Cody: I'm Zack. (imitating Zack) Hey, sweet thing.

Max: He hurt himself didn't he?

Cody: Yep.

Mr. Moseby: Esteban! I need you over here!

Esteban: When I'm good and ready!

Mr. Moseby: What did you say?

Esteban: Now I am good and ready!

Zack: Mom, I'm gonna be on TV!

Carey: What did you set on fire?
