Abby, save some for the fish. (Abby hands him the bag of chips and he reads it) "Captain Salty's Sea Salt'N'Vinegar Thick-Cut Salt Chips. Now With Extra Sea Salt." Oh, Got it.
AAbby
finished drinking) Ah. Mmm. It's all yours!
AAbby
I think my hair is stuck.
Let me just help you out. (helping Abby free her hair)
AAbby
(screams softly) Ow. (her hair is free from the fire alarm) (fire alarm goes off)
Oops. False alarm! Everybody just stay calm!
(walks down the steps while carrying a lunch lady to the hallway after realizing there's a fire drill happening) Fire! Fire! Go!
Save yourselves! (shouting) (he walks down to the hallway while still carrying the lunch lady but Joe and Abby see Kevin walking to the exit while holding the lunch lady) (Joe and Abby try to stop the fire alarm but they are unable to stop it from ringing)
(walks to Joe and Abby) Somebody care to explain what happened?
AAbby
My hair got stuck-- (tells Mrs. Snart)
SMrs. Snart
I've heard enough! (gives Abby a detention slip)
AAbby
Detention?! That is so not fair!
You can't give her detention. It was an accident. Besides, if anybody's fault, it's mine.
Oh, please, like I'm going to give a JONAS detention? My niece would kill me. Hey, Joe, can I get a quick photo? (Joe takes a photo with her)
Yeah, sure. (walks to Ms. Snart and she pulls him closer to her then she walks away) (Abby walks towards him and she is annoyed at him) Abby, I'm so sorry.
AAbby
It must be nice to get away with everything just because you're famous.
We don't get away with everything. Ms. Snart's new here. Everyone else treats us like normal guys, regardless of our hotness, coolness and modesty. (chuckles)
AAbby
(sighs) (rolls her eyes and starts to walk away from Joe)
AAbby
(grunts softly) (continues to walk away)
(he is walking out of the classroom and enters the hallway to talk to Abby but she is ignoring him) Hey, Abby, wait up.
AAbby
(sighs) (walks away)
Abby, I need to talk to you. (Abby continues to walk away from Joe but he follows her around) Abby, I know you probably think you've got a really bad deal on detention. But if you please let me just explain, I'm sure you'll understand. (Abby walks to the elevator and she enters it then she pushes the button) Please. Abby. (the elevator doors are going to close) Hey, the doors are closing. Abby, the doors are-- Can you open the doors, please?
Oh, that's me. (picks up his backpack from the floor) (takes out a juice box) Nope. (takes out the pink balloon and the yellow balloon) Huh. No. (takes out the electric toothbrush) Hello? (chuckles) (groans) (takes out the fishbowl with fishes) How are you guys doing? (takes his cellphone out of his backpack and sets it back on the floor) Hello. You've got Joe. No. (Ms. Snart notices that he is disturbing the class again and she walks to the back of the classroom) This is a perfectly good time. I'm just hanging out at school. (chuckles)
Is that the new JONAS ringtone? (Kevin is annoyed) Can you beam it to my phone?
(takes the phone away from his ear) Sure.
AAbby
(sighs) (she is disgusted by the way Ms. Snart is treating Joe then she rolls her eyes and turns to the front)
Hi. I got detention for you.
AAbby
Yeah, I remember. That's why all my friends are at the mall and I'm not.
(tells Abby) I meant I got myself detention because I accidentally got you detention. I just wanted a chance to explain things. All right my brothers and I are regular guys with regular dreams. Hold on a second. (lifts his backpack up to take the lyric sheet under it the he turns around to the student behind him and puts the lyric sheet on the student's desk) Can you take it from the bridge? (asks the student to play the song and the same student plays the song on the violin) You see, we come from a small town in New Jersey. (door opens) We didn't grow up with much-- just love and fresh air. (door slams) (playing different music)
Welcome to detention. I see you're getting to know one another... (chuckles) Which is odd because (shouts) there's no talking in detention! Luckily, I do have a solution. (moves Joe and his desk to the back of the classroom then Mr. Smetzer takes an empty desk to the front where Joe's desk was)
No-- But-- (Abby is smiling)
No arguing. Also no texting. No note passing. And no morse code, Gary! (shows Gary is morse coding then he picks it up and hides it in his sweater vest)
I want complete and utter silence in this room. Am I understood? (Mr. Smetzer walks to the front and slides an empty desk to the front where Joe's desk was) I am going to be in my office. (tells the students)
That was a trick question. I said SILENCE! (yells at Joe's ear)
(he walks to the front and slides an empty desk to the front where Joe's desk was) I am going to be in my office. (tells the students) But don't try any malarkey. One peep and you'll spend the next four weekends helping the school janitors scoop squirrels out of the pool filter. (opens the door and leaves) That's right. (appears behind the teacher's desk) I'm quick and I'm quiet so don't try any malarkey. (walks to the door and leaves then quietly appears behind the map) I'm like a detention ninja. (appears at the other side of the map) I could show up anywhere. (he leaves) (taps Joe from behind)
Oh, yeah. (swiftly runs out of the classroom then Joe looks at Abby and pulls up a notepad with "hi" written on it but Abby shows Joe a notebook with the picture of her sticking her tongue out)
Okay. (he puts his notepad on his desk)
(gasps) (Nick and Kevin suddenly appear next to Joe) Where'd you guys come from?
A small town in New Jersey. (puts his guitar on a desk)
(speaks on the microphone) What's up, troublemakers?
What are you guys doing here?
We have to record the new vocals.
The record label needs it by the end of the day today.
If Mr. Smetzer hears me, I'm getting suspended.
That's a chance I'm willing to take. (puts his hand on Joe's shoulder)
Me too. (he puts his hand on Joe's shoulder)
Oh, thanks a lot, guys. Fine, I'll do it, okay? Just gotta talk to Abby first. (he is about get up from his desk but Kevin and Nick sits Joe back down)
Your apologies take forever. We'll talk to her for you.
Wait. Guys-- (Nick and Kevin walk to Abby's desk) (Joe is putting his head down then he puts his head up)
(introducing himself and Kevin to Abby) Hi. Nick. Kevin. Look, Joe feels really bad about getting you in trouble. He wants to apologize.
AAbby
Oh, so he sent over two spokesmodels? (looks at Joe) Wow, must be nice not to do any dirty work yourself.
Oh, look, the chapter's about forgiveness. (he and Nick walk back to Joe)
I don't get it. Why do you wanna to go out with... her?
I don't wanna go out with her.
(opens the door and enters the classroom) Did I hear talking? (shuts the door) Mmm. Something's not right here. Mmm... (looks to the left then the right) Aha! (Joe is afraid that his brothers will be caught by Mr. Smetzer) (laughs) (walks to the back) Yes. (turns the poster but Joe and Abby are smiling) There we are.
(gets out of his desk and walks to Abby's desk then kneels down but Abby still won't talk to Joe) Hey, Abby. Abby? Abby, I'm sorry. I'm sorry you think I get special treatment around here because I really don't. I mean, the only person in the whole school who gives me special treatment is Ms. Snart. If it's anybody but her, I get punished like everybody else.
(opens the door and enters the classroom) Hello. (Joe gets off his knees then groans and walks to the back of the classroom) I'm filling in for Vice-Principal Smetzer who had to go home for a family emergency. His mother's bath was overflowing. (Joe is crouching down to his desk but Ms. Snart sees him) Joe! What are you doing here? (Joe sits down at his desk) (she walks to Nick and Kevin and hugs them) And the two-thirds remaining JONAS! Did you prank up some mischief, you little rascals? (Joe puts his head down on his desk)
(tells the students) Now before taking over for Mr. Smetzer, I was helping out at the varsity girls' swim team victory party. So I need someone to go pass out pizza and towels. Any volunteers?(Abby and the other students raise their hands) (Joe picks up his folder and opens it then he hides his face with it) Mm, eenie meenie miney Joe! (picks Joe then he closes his folder) Have fun!
You know what I think? I should probably stay here. (Abby turns around and looks at Joe) I mean, I walked on grass. I should think about what I've done.
Are you disobeying the direct order from a teacher?
Yes, I am. (stands up from his desk and Abby is proud of him) And I think you should give me more detention.
AAbby
(turns around to the back of the classroom and talks to Joe) Wait. You really don't expect special treatment?
No. Abby, that's what I've been trying to tell you.
AAbby
Cool. I'm impressed. (she smiles at Joe and he smiles then he sits back down)
Do I have another volunteer?
AAbby
(raises her hand) I'll do it!
Have fun. And when the party's over, grab a gift and just go on home. (Abby stands up from her desk and walks to the back of the classroom)
AAbby
See ya! (Kevin opens the door for Abby and she leaves)
That girl is just no good. (closes the door) (Nick stands up)
I know Joe doesn't want any special treatment, but we kind of have a new song to finish recording. (Joe looks at Nick) Do you mind we do it in here?
Do I mind? (Stands up) This is a detention room, young man. I can't believe you even asked me that.
The acoustics are way better in the hall! You rapscallion.
