(Beck is holding Jade while walking in the hallway)
Jade
I'm done talking about it!
Jade
He's KIDNAPPING me! (shouting) You wanna see a kidnapper?! KIDNAPPER! Let go! (Beck brings Jade inside the janitor's closet) KIDNAPPER!
Jade
Right! What's funny is you freaking out over a dumb game show!
We were voted worst couple. And the other two couples weren't even real couples! And one had Robbie in it!
Jade
Why do you care if we were voted worst couple?
It's a matter of- (Cat walks in with three spoons)
Is this a closet party? Look, I have spoons!
Cat, come here. We need your opinion on something.
'Cause I don't think that's really happening.
Seriously. I went to the movies the other night, and it was so cold...
We need your opinion on us.
Jade
Why not just ask a monkey?!
I saw a movie about a monkey! He wore glasses and carried a gun.
Don't you think Jade and I fight a lot?
Jade
Yeah, but all boyfriends and girlfriends fight a lot, don't they?
Jade
Yes or no?! (Cat yelps)
Jade
You never listen to me talk!
Jade
No! (grabs Cat by the backpack) What is your point here, anyway?!
I would like to have a girlfriend I can talk to without it turning into a screaming match!
Jade
Yeah, well I'd like a boyfriend who other girls don't stare at all the time!
I thought this was a closet party.
How is it my fault girls stare at me?!
Jade
Oh, you could look worse if you wanted to.
(panicked) I'm under my bed, I'm under my bed, I'm under my bed... (puts her hands on her ears while gasping)
I can't believe how jealous you get.
Jade
Oh! Oh, so you think I'm ugly.
What?! (to Cat) Who sai-did I say she was ugly?!
Jade
Cat thinks we're a perfect couple!
Cat, are Jade I are a perfect couple?
Jade
DON'T ANSWER THAT!
Jade
SAY NOTHING!
Jade
YOU COME ON!!!!
(Cat faints and drops her spoons)
Jade
I'm late for class. (Jade leaves)
We're gonna have to finish this sooner or later!
Jade
Later!
(leaves the closet and walks past the janitor named Luther) Hi.
(Luther enters the closet. Cat is still lying on the ground. Luther, who did not notice Cat, gets a sledgehammer and a bundle of rope. Suddenly, Lane walks in.)
Hey, Luth. Somebody spilled a soda on the floor in the gym and it--- (both Lane and Luther see Cat lying on the ground unconscious)
(in a disapproving tone) Oh, Luther. Why?
Oh! Great, it's-it's you guys!
See? They're all here. I told you, they'd all be here.
Listen, I am sorry that we didn't invite you guys to play, but, uh-
Tell her why you didn't invite us to play.
Well...cause...we were...planning your surprise party...?
Jade
What?!
Alright! We didn't invite you guys to play because you two are always screaming at each other, and it makes everybody feel awkward, it makes Cat faint, and sometimes it makes Robbie cry!
One time! I cried one time!
See?! We fight so much, even our friends don't want us around!
Jade
Tori's not my friend, I only tolerate Robbie, no one likes Trina, and Cat's basically a pet.
Are you guys gonna let her say that nobody likes me?! (Beck and Jade both turn to Tori then back)
So...why don't you guys play cards with us. (touches Jade's arm then walks to the table)
Look, I-I don't want to be your boyfriend if we're just gonna fight all the time.
Jade
So you wanna break up?
No, I-I didn't say that. I'm just saying...
You guys might break up? Because I'm not dating anyone, and I always thought Beck and I would make the perfect- (Jade throws a pillow at her, and she stands shocked)
Jade
Next time it's a hammer! C'mon, Beck, take me to get some food.
Jade
Ok. I'm gonna walk out that door, and I'm gonna count to ten.
Don't forget three. (everyone looks at her) Some people forget it.
Jade
If I get to 10 and you're not out there, I'm going home… and we're over. [Jade goes outside] 1!
(while touching Beck seductively) I would never fight with you.
Jade
2… 3… [Cat claps] 4… [Beck heads to the door] 5… [Trina follows Beck to stop him] 6… [Trina jumps on Beck and pins him down]
TRINA! [Tori, André, Robbie and Cat go to Trina]
Get OFF! NO!(André and Robbie pull Trina off of Beck)
I'm a really fun girl... (Robbie pins Trina)
(to Trina) No! You're not!
(while holding Beck's leg) ...And so good looking!
Stop! What are you doing?! Stop! (Beck stands up and goes to the door)
Jade
7… (Beck holds the doorknob and stops) 8… (Beck looks at Trina, who is pointing at herself and winking) 9… (André, Cat and Tori glare at one another) 10! (Jade stops while Beck is still inside, holding the doorknob. Jade goes to the door, but steps back and leaves. Inside, Beck lets go of the doorknob while he hears Jade's car leaving)
(sadly) Yeah, let's play… (everybody goes to the table to play cards)
Make sure you get all 52.
KK. 1, 2, (forgets three) 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11... (Trina sits beside Beck and lies her head on his shoulder)
(Cat puts a dollar in the soda machine, picks a drink, takes it and immediately throws it in the trash. The bell rings)
Jade
Cat? Why'd you just throw your drink in the trash?
Jade
But...but you bought the-ah, forget it.
(Jade attempts to put duct tape around the broken guitar. After doing so, Jade holds the guitar but it snaps again.)
Do you think my mom's boss will notice?
Jade
You called Robbie?!
Yeah, so he can help us put up the guitar and fix the window.
Jade
Robbie can barely work his zipper on his own pants! (Cat giggles)
(entering the room holding a bucket of materials) What's up, little pigeons? (Suddenly, Beck enters, also holding some materials, which leaves Jade surprised)
Jade
(to Cat) Why did you invite Beck?!
(to Robbie) You didn't tell me Jade was gonna be here?
(to Jade) I thought you had a date tonight.
Jade
Why'd you think that?
It said so on your Slap page.
Jade
Why you stalking my Slap page?
Why is Robbie's zipper down? (Robbie notices and pulls it up)
Jade
Look, let's just get this stupid guitar fixed and hung back up there before Cat's mom's boss gets back.
We have to fix the window, too.
Oooh! I'll find a window repair company using the new feature on my PearPhone. (his PearPhone dings) I need a window repair company in Beverly Hills.
PPearPhone
(ding) Checking for...adult diapers. (Cat, Jade and the puppy all look questioned)
N-n-n-n-n-no, that was my last search.
(back at the mansion, Robbie and Jade fix the guitar while Beck and Cat talk to the window repair company worker)
Thanks for fixing the window.
Yeah. And we didn't even notice your lack of hair. (the worker leaves as Cat waves)
Guitar all good up there?
Jade
Yeah! And look. You can't even see where it broke.
Yay! My mom's boss will never know anything bad happen!
(picks up the skull) Whoa! Is this a real human skull?
Jade
Yeah. Give it, so I can put it back.
Jade
(gets the skull) Robbie, give it to me. (Jade and Robbie start to fight about the skull)
Jade
Stop!
Jade
Robbie! We don't have time!
Jade
Fine! (Jade drops the skull)
(the skull falls on the glass table, breaking it. Cat gasps. At the same time, the guitar swings and destroys a lamp. Cat yelps and starts to cry)
Jade
Don't cry.
Jade
Zip up your pants! (Robbie does so)
(clicks the buzzer) Hello?
GMr. Gibbons
Cat. It's Carl Gibbons. I forgot my key, would you buzz me in?
GMr. Gibbons
Could you buzz me in?
Um. Sure I could. Or maybe you could go to Europe for two weeks.
GMr. Gibbons
Cat, buzz me in.
(Cat does so) Kay-kay. (Cat sobs)
Jade
Cat.
When he gets up here, we'll just explain that–
(an earthquake hits the mansion)
Jade
EARTHQUAKE!!!
[grabs Cat] OKAY, EVERYBODY DOWN!!! COVER YOUR HEADS!!!
(Beck covers Cat and himself, Robbie hides under a small table and Jade protects herself with a pillow while the dog barks loudly. The earthquake partially destroys the mansion. The scene cuts to Nozu where the earthquake also hits. Tori hides under the round table along with the other guests.)
Everybody get down! I don't have insurance!
HHope
Protect my birthday presents! Somebody protect my– (a giant sign falls on her head, knocking her out. The earthquake stops and everybody stares at a moaning Hope. Andre then smiles.)
(to Mr. Gibbons) I'm so sorry about your guitar, and your lamp, and your table...
GMr. Gibbons
(not even a tad bit angry) That's alright. It's not your fault.
Jade
(puts her hands on Cat's shoulders, looking at her in the eye) Cat, Mr. Gibbons isn't mad at us, because he knows the EARTHQUAKE caused this damage.
Yeah. We can only blame the earth.
[in the car]
Jade
[driving] So, Cat, is there some reason your brother replaced his seat belt with a rope?
Jade
[looks at Tori and Cat's science project] What is that thing anyway?
Oh, this is Cat's and my science project.
It's a robot with hamster power.
See, Mr. Hamster runs on this wheel and that creates electromagnetic electricity which flows through this transformer and powers... [in a robot voice] ...The robot.
Jade
I don't know. All I heard was "hamster, hamster, science, science, Tori's boring, kill me".
(holding a muffin) You want a muffin?
Jade
Sure. (takes the muffin and eats it)
Oh, no. I found it under the seat. [in response, Jade spits out the muffin and throws it in the road] Not so boring now, am I?
Jade
All right, Vega! I'm gonna pull over–
Be quiet! I'm not gonna sit here and listen to the two of you fight for the next 2 hours!
She's the one… FOR 2 HOURS!?!
Jade
I thought we were just driving some dead actress' house and lighting a candle.
We are! Her house is in San Diego!
Jade
[suddenly stops the car with a screeching sound] SAN DIEGO?
Cat, we gotta finish our science project before morning!
Jade
No! I'm not driving this rolling chiz block to San Diego and back!
[Cat starts to cry]
JUST DRIVE THE CHILD TO SAN DIEGO!!!
Jade
All right! [drives and Cat stops crying]
(entering the classroom) GOOD MORNING, LE OLD NUTENTS! (laughs in a Western style accent, then puts his coconut on the windowsill) Alright. Now, it's time for...bad news.
They found out coconut juice makes your hair falls out?
(laughs) NO. We're going to do an acting exercise about giving bad news.
Jade
Why?
Sikowitz (imitating Jade, sarcastically) Why? To teach you that acting often involves choices in how to say things. For example, how do you give someone bad news and make it seem not so bad?
By telling them in a language they don't understand.
You see, every time I cast a new play, you get your panties in a pretzel. So this time, you people will choose your own roles. (brings box of paper slips to Andre) Andre, pick a role.
(reading off card) "Tommy, ten year old twin brother of Carter."
(makes airplane noise and goes to Beck) Beck, pick a role.
(reading off card) "Carter, ten year old twin brother of Tommy." I guess we're twins.
Then Mama's got some explaining to do.
(makes airplane noise and goes to Jade) Jade, pick a role.
Jade
(reading off card) "Nancy, loving wife of astronaut Walter Swain."
(Robbie attempts to pick a role, but Sikowitz makes another airplane noise and goes to Tori) Tori.
(reading off card) "Astronaut Walter Swain.........husband of Nancy...."
Jade
I'm supposed to play her wife?
I'll just pick another card!
(during the rehearsal of the play. Jade, in-character, is seen crying as both Andre and Beck, also in-character, are in front of her)
Jade
Don't you understand? Your father's an astronaut. It's his dream to walk on the moon but now that might never happen because of his narcolepsy!
Jade
It's when you're always falling asleep even when you're not tired.
(to Sinjin) Car door sound effect! (Sinjin clicks a button where it's being followed by a sound of a car alarm stopping)
Jade
(stands up, along with Beck and Andre) Oh, I just heard your father's car. Now, boys, no matter how narcoleptic he is, you pretend you don't notice. (notices Beck holding her apron) Don't touch Mommy. (pulls Beck's hand off her apron. After that, Tori, wearing a mustache and male clothes, enters)
(in a man voice) Nancy, boys, I'm home.
Jade
Hi, honey.
(to Andre) Hello, Car--- (since Tori's character has narcolepsy, she falls on the sofa and passes out)
Jade
Oh. It's all right, boys. It's all right now. (comes to Tori) Honey. Honey. (Tori suddenly gets up)
I'M UP! I'M UP! (to Beck) So, Tommy. How was school today?
(his and Andre's characters are twins) I'm Carter.
Ahh!! What kind of father am I?! I'm so darn narcoleptic I can't even tell my own twin sons apart.
Jade
It's not your fault they're identical. Look at them. (both Tori and Jade look at Beck and Andre)
Nancy, you're so--- (for another time, Tori passes out and falls in front of Jade)
Jade
Ahh.. Ooh.. Sweetheart! Darling!
Jade
No. No, you were saying I'm so?
Right, uh, you're so good, gentle. How can you love a sleepy loser like me?
Jade
You are no sleepy loser. You are an astronaut.
Jade
(strained) I love you.
(the rehearsal ends) Eh, no you don't! Light a candle, Burf. This play stinks!
BBurf
I don't have a candle.
Then get a better haircut!
Shake it off, Burf. He's just in a mood.
