Nick's never had writer's block before. It's been three weeks and he hasn't written anything.
I know what we can do. We can introduce him to a girl, make him fall in love with that girl, make the girl break up with him. Broken heart, brand new song! Unless that would be totally wrong.
Yeah, that would be pretty wrong. (Kevin and Frankie are setting up the table)
Frankie
(holds the guitar) Nick out. Frankie in.
Frankie, that's plan B. (Frankie walks away the guitar)
Well, if he doesn't come up with a song by the end of the day tomorrow, we can't get the album done on time.
(talking about Nick and his writer's block) What if he can't write anymore? What if he can't write another song for as long as he lives?
Then that would be pretty embarrassing for all of us!
Don't worry, okay? I've got my song-writing shoes on.(He shines his shoes) I wore these babies when I wrote our first number-one hit and our second number-one hit.
Ooh, I am so sorry about that. I forgot I left that there.
Oh, it's quick-dry spackle. Now with "quicker quick dry". Mmm.
Um... I think we can help you, Nick. Just grab him. (Grunts) One, two, three! All the fun stuff happens to you.
So, Nick, you think you can write that song, today. Maybe? You could write about really anything. Doesn't have to be about relationships.
It could be about animals or trees or plants. (he walks to the table and Kevin walks to Nick)
Joe, I appreciate the concern, but would be really nice not to mention the new song at all.
You got it! (He pours Crunchy Cats into Nick's bowl and Nick is annoyed at Kevin) How about a little bit of new song. I mean, new song. Oh, um, you want more new song? How about some Crunchy Cats cereal with a brand-new-good-morning taste of some new song? (He walks away with his hand over his mouth)
Oh, sorry about that. Let me give you a towel.
Frankie
Warm towel?
Frankie
Five bucks, please.
Don't mind if I don't. (throws it on Frankie then he walks away and Nick enters the bedroom)
(takes the towel) I'll take it. And instead five bucks, I'll let you to continue to live here. (he leaves then Kevin leaves the bathroom with five bucks)
Hey, man, here you go. (he puts the five bucks in the tip jar) Hit me. Ahh, invigorating.
(he runs upstairs) Hey, you guys, today's your big audition for "The Three Musketeers," right?
Need any acting pointers? I got rave reviews in my kindergarten production "Safety on a School Bus."
Music and singing come naturally to us, so we're just gonna go with our instincts.
Instincts? Great. Really bad idea. Let me give you a few pointers.
Few pointers? How about a few pointers?
Dad, would you give us a few acting pointers? (he puts down the guitar)
Okay, if you insist. Come on. All right, look, acting-- the key is right here-- it's all in the face, okay? All right? Let's run through some acting expressions, okay? Start with anger. RRR! That's good, anger. Angry! (Joe and Kevin are doing the expressions with Tom except Nick) Okay, all right. Um, bravery. "Oh, nothing can hurt me. I'm so brave. Okay, that's good. Okay, and now try joy. Right into joy.
Ooh, Kevin! Your body language is fantastic. Joe, great energy. Nick, I think you show a little bit of that quiet star power as I did as boy with motion sickness.
(he sits on the ottoman) Okay. Now let give you some warm-ups to get your speech clear and your focus centered, okay? (Joe, Kevin and Nick are just looking at Tom) MMM--MMAHH! MMM--EH! MM--EHH! (blowing raspberries) (Joe is looking at Tom) (giggling) (exhaling, mumbling) (Kevin, Joe and Nick are walking away) Yeegaa! Boys? (notices that Kevin, Joe and Nick aren't there)
How can you eat at a time like this? (Macy looks at him then she looks back at the play and eats the popcorn)
Thanks for filming the play, Frankie. Your mother would be upset if she couldn't watch this when she gets back from your aunt Debbie's.
Frankie
No problem.(he is watching cartoons rather than filming the play)(cartoon sounds)
Are you watching cartoons? Give me this. (takes the video away from Frankie)
I knew it was him for he had the mark of the criminal on his shoulder!
Then it is up to us to save her before she loses her head.
Tis a great risk, Porthos. Tis a great risk, Porthos. (waiting for Van Dyke to come)
MMan
Van Dyke. (applause) (Van Dyke bumps into Kevin which makes Kevin bumps into Nick)
But Athos, we must trust...him for tonight, I shall ask-- I shall ask...
Mrs. Snark : "Sweet my beloved into my arms and proclaim my love for her."
Sweep up with my arms the love and proclaim for her.
Looks like somebody could use a lucky boot.
Dare I ask if I may have your heart?
Yes yes, my beloved. A thousand times, yes.
Dare I ask...if I may have a kiss?
Dare dare, my beloved. A thousands times dare. (she walks down the tower then she holds hands with Van Dyke)
Stella and Van Dyke are gonna...(she looks at Joe's chair but he left the audience to interrupt Van Dyke from kissing Stella)(Van Dyke and Stella are about to kiss)
No! (he swings on a rope and knocks Van Dyke away while Stella backs away from being hit)
I'm sorry, but he can't kiss you.
Because this is my role. (he picks up the feathered hat) Dare I ask, may I have a kiss, Lady De-Bonna-So-La-Boo?
Yes. I mean... Dare dare, my beloved. A thousands times dare. (Joe kisses her on the cheek) (applause from Nick, Kevin, Mrs. Snark, Macy and the crowd)
Bravo! Bravo! (Van Dyke is waking up with the flower between his teeth and he stands next to Mrs. Snark then spits the flower out) (Van Dyke reaches into his pocket and give a tissue to Mrs. Snark)
(he and Stella switch places) Aramis, my sword! (Nick tosses the sword to Joe and he catches it) Ahh!
(wiping her tears with a tissue) It's better than "Cats."
We'll return at dawn, my love. (he walks over to Kevin and Nick)
NJNick, Joe, and Kevin
(Kevin and Nick take out their swords then the three of them raised their swords together) One for all, and all for one!
And a leather pouch for my turkey leg!
Okay. We've got guitar-shaped pancakes for Kevin, Crunchy Cat cereal for Nick and peanut butter with eggs for Joe. (kissed Joe) Ah.
Mom, there's a little too much trees in my eggs.
And I like my dish-water a little less soapy.
I love the underwear that came with my pancakes. It's a great source of fiber.
Oh my-- (laughs) I am so sorry. I think I'm doing too many things at once. (walks to Frankie) It's been really hectic since the baby was born the was born.
Frankie
Mom, I'm eight and a half.
Guys, I think it's time. (tells Nick and Joe)
Mom, dad, you both seem a little stressed. So we got you a present-- an exclusive resort vacation.
We were gonna wait for your anniversary, but you guys look like you could use our present right now.
Plus, we couldn't remember when your anniversary was.
Guys, that is so sweet. But I can't possibly leave you alone. No.
"How many times can you enjoy a sunset balloon ride... over hand-raked prestine beaches while eating exotic delicacies"? Hmm. (takes the brochure and leaves)
Dad, you're gonna love it.
No no no no. I couldn't possibly leave. Who would take care of all this, the band business? All right, I'm the grease that keeps the JONAS machine running smoothly.
Dad, I think we can get by without your grease for a week.
I don't know. I've never left the band business in anybody else's hands before.
They give you massages while you float in the lagoon. Get up.
I'll send you a postcard. (Nick gives Joe and Kevin a high five then Nick is excited)
(rings loudly) Mom and dad alert! Places! (Kevin, Joe and Nick are putting back everything in their right place) (Tom opens the door for him and Sandy then they enter the house)
Hey, guys, we're back! (Kevin is playing chess with Frankie, Nick is on his guitar and writing a song while Joe is painting a picture)
The place looks spotless, Joe's not a blond. And it looks like Frankie's about to beat Kevin in speed chess. (walks to Kevin and Frankie)
Frankie
Checkmate.
Game. Well, everything, looks normal to me.
Just taking care of business, dad. (puts the guitar on the couch)
(squeals happily) I missed you guys so much. (Kevin, Nick, Joe and Frankie are walking to Sandy) (Sandy happily hugs Kevin, Joe, Nick and
We would’ve been home sooner, but the plane made an unexpected stop.
She doesn’t mean, “In mid-air”.
(tells Tom) See, I told you there was nothing to worry about. (stops hugging then notices the vase) Hey, who moved grandma's vase? (walks to the table) You guys know how fragile this is. (Tom walk to her) (she picks up part of the vase) Grandma's vase. (she hands the top of the vase to Tom) (the bouncer walks by while holding the disco ball) (Frankie pays the bouncer money then leaves)
Did anything happen that we should know about? (Sandy is mad) (he asks Kevin, Joe, Nick and Frankie)
Why do you ask? (four members of the fan club walks by carrying cleaning supplies and leave)
Are you sure there's nothing you'd like to explain to us?
We missed you. (he, Joe and Nick walk to Tom and Sandy to give them a hug)
We missed you too. (zapping) (Kevin, Joe, Nick, Frankie, Sandy and Tom are noticing the electrocuted fridge) (buzzes)
KNKevin and Nick
Joe was in charge! (Joe looks at Kevin and Nick)
(walks to Kevin and asks) Dude, what's all this stuff?
Ghost-tracking equipment so I can finally prove to you guys that we have a ghost.
Ghosts? Please tell me you kept the receipts.
Nick, I'm trying to tell you we have a ghost. (holds the book) It's all right here in this book. (gives the book to Joe)
(reads the title) "Ghosts, ghouls, and cleanest hot-dog stands of New Jersey." (flips the pages)
It's kept track of every paranormal event plus all the greatest schnitzel in the Garden State.
(tells Kevin) Seriously, the receipts-- (snaps his fingers) hand 'em over.
(takes the book back from Joe) According to this, our firehouse is haunted by the ghost of William Smith, a volunteer fireman... (buzzing) (he takes the electromagnetic meter away from Joe) who died unexpectedly at the age of 103.
Kevin, ghosts don't exist. Joe, please talk some sense into him. (Joe puts on goggles and wears them)
Dude, you look sick in night vision. Kevin, where'd you get these. I'm never taking them off.
Actually, at the ghost outlet. Check out the ghost cam. If there's a ghost in this room, this camera will detect it.
Dude, that's just a regular video camera.
No way! It cost three times what a regular video camera costs plus it has a ghost sticker.
I can see your underwear.
Those aren't x-ray goggles. (tells Joe)
No, your pants are riding a little low, my brother. (Nick pulls his jeans up)
Volunteer fireman William Smith, you can haunt but you can't hide. (Joe stops wearing the goggles) Look! (goes around the room then sees the glass of juice)
Five minutes ago my glass of juice was full. Who drank it? (Nick walks to the kitchen counter) A thirsty ghost perhaps?
Dude, this is my juice. (picks up his juice) That's yours over there. (points to Kevin's juice near the stove)
Oh. (Tom and Frankie walk downstairs)
Dad, would you please tell Kevin that this firehouse isn't haunted?
What? What happened? Did you see the ghost?
What do you mean, the ghost?
Uh, Frankie, why don't you go online and get us our movie tickets?
Frankie
Sure, dad. Boo! (leaves)
(sits while telling Kevin, Joe and Nick) Okay, look, when we bought this firehouse, there was this legend of some ghost that haunted the place.
Dad, why haven't you ever tell us?
Well, there's-- there's no such thing as ghosts, right? Plus I was afraid he would condemn our souls for eternity if I told on him.
Dad, it okay to be frightened. Look at me. I'm scared speechless. But I'm still gonna prove that this place is haunted with the help of the mighty ghost cam.
Isn't that just a regular video camera?
Apparently it's got some type of ghost sticker on it.
Please tell me you kept the receipts.
The guy in the van said I didn't need one.
We've got you covered, D.Z.
Oh, so it's you. Great, I was hoping for you. - Don't hate Kev or anything.
Kevin baby! My favorite brother!
So you guys are leaving me hanging?
We're not gonna leave you hanging. We promised you a brother, so fresh off the jet from Jersey...
Frankie
Let's do this!
Frankie
A little gift from mom.
Baby applesauce. Guys, it's just a lot smoother. (Nick put his head down)
So... clears throat) are you any good?
Frankie
Back home they call me the Frankinator.
(chuckles) Where have you guys been hiding this kid? Let me see you do this. Yeah. Definitely. How long have you been playing?
