Just tell us where the girl is.
I told you, I DON'T KNOW!
Okay, if you don't know, you don't know. [slaps Beck hard then grabs his shirt] NOW DO YOU KNOW?!
Hey, man! Get your partner off of me!
You better tell her what she wants to know. [licks a lollipop]
You got three seconds to talk.
(Cat slaps him again)
She's in my basement! [Cat lets go of him] She's in my basement. [gets on his knees and cries]
[The students turns to Sikowitz]
[gets up] Yeah, it was all too predictable. There were no, [puts on a shocked face] AHH, surprises.
See, entertainment is so much more entertaining, when the characters do something the audience doesn't expect.
Robbie
I don't get what you're trying to say here.
You've bewildered everybody.
[The students begin to talk all at once.]
All right, okay, maybe I'm wrong. Let's move on the something else. [Cat, Beck and Andre sit back down] Let's talk about our hopes and dreams. [points to Tori] Tori.
[points to Sikowitz] Sikowitz.
What's your biggest hope and/or dream? [smiles at her]
Uh...probably to be a pop star. A really successful singer.
[laughs nervously with him] What?
Oh, well, maybe you could sing at weddings for the hearing impaired. [continues laughing]
[The students looks at Sikowitz in shock.]
Okay, this is the most fun class ever.
[sad] You really don't think I can make it as a singer?
Nope. HA! You see? You're all staring at me with rapt attention. Why? Because, as a teacher, you expect me to encourage my students not puke on their dreams. Right?
[The students agree]
This is what I'm trying to explain. When characters do the unexpected- [falls suddenly] audiences pay attention.
[The bell rings.]
That's lunchtime. Get out.
[The students get up and leave.]
Hey, Jade. That's a nice new sweater.
Thanks. It's made out of puppet hair.
Hey. Look at the new costume I made. Can you guess who I am?
You're uh, Little Boy Poop.
Little Bo Peep. Alright, can I tell you guys how much I'm loving my new costume design class?
And my teacher says I have a gift for knowing people's exact measurements.
Robbie
Hey, peepolinis!!
[to Robbie] Hey, Robbie, do you want me to tell you what size pants you are?
Robbie
I already know. They're a size four.
(Cat laughs)
That's how they measure girls' pants.
Robbie
What? Rex, you promised me these were boy jeans.
Heh heh heh. You've been Rexed.
Hey. Will you guys take a look at my headshot and resume?
Sikowitz got me an audition for a movie.
You look twelve in this pic.
Well that was the last time I was shot by a professional photographer.
My brother got shot by a clown.
Because my brother kept poking him and saying "What you gonna do about it, clown? Huh?" (pause) It happened on a bus.
(pulls out a coloring book and crayons) Cat, color the tiger.
Well, now I have to find a professional photographer.
(Sinjin walks over)
Did someone say she needs a professional photographer?
Robbie
Yeah, I don't seem so weird anymore, do I?
What did you say, Girl Pants?
Alright, you gotta work on this resume.
Why, what's wrong with it?
Robbie
You only have one play on there.
Well, that's all I've been in.
So? Just say you've acted in more stuff.
Well, it's not really lying...
Did I mention the clown was my cousin Jesse?
[sternly] Color the pretty tiger.
You gotta have more things under special skills.
Yeah, you put bike riding as a special skill. Who can't ride a bike?
Robbie
(puts hand over Rex's mouth) Can you keep any secret?
So what "special skills" should I add?
Robbie
Skydiving.
Flirtatious hair flipping.
Okay, I do not flip my hair flirtatiously!
Oh, and this doesn't seem familiar? [Imitating Tori] Why, hello, boys! My name is Tori Vega! Buy me some licorice and I'll give you a kiss!
I talk NOTHING like that. (to the rest of the gang) Seriously, do I talk anything like that? (the others all imitate Tori at the same time. Tori puts a picture of herself in front of her face)
Robbie
[Cat is upset and refusing to talk to Robbie at lunch] Cat? Cat, come on. You can't be mad at me over something that I did in your dream.
Robbie
Well, would you at least tell me what I didn't do?
Fine. These little kids were trying to eat us, and you wouldn't even try to help me. You were just crying and yelling "No, no. Don't eat me. Eat her, eat her."
Robbie
Well, I'm sorry. And if a bunch of little kids ever really do try to eat us, I promise to...well, why shouldn't they eat you first?
(Andre and Tori sit down)
Robbie
I wanna live. There's things I've never tried. There's things I really, really, really wanna do.
What do you really, really, really wanna do?
Robbie
Ride a pony. Take a cooking class. (Robbie pauses, embarrassed) Other things.
(Robbie is carrying a bucket of ice cream)
Robbie
I don't think we should waste all this ice cream, so I'm gonna take it to that playground around the corner and give it to some little kids.
Uh, I don't know how kids mothers are gonna feel about a strange guy handing out-
(aside, to Beck) Let him do it.
(to Jade) No, you're terrible, you're a terrible influence-
Just let him do it. Just let him do it!
(Robbie walks into Tori's house looking beaten)
Robbie
I went to the playground, I got off my bike, I yelled "Hey, kids, who wants some free ice cream?" And then their mothers chased me into an alley and beat me with sticks.
Robbie
One big mom stepped on my neck.
(everyone is at Tori's looking for letters)
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Cat, what'd you say?
H? Yes! (everybody runs to Cat)
Robbie
She's got it! She got the H!
(laughs) I feel so loved.
Yeah. Didn't you get some more?
Nope. Check Ke$ha's last update. (Tori, Andre, Jade and Cat grab their phones)
(reads the update) "Congrats to the dude in Northridge who found all the letters and spelled out Ke$ha. Thanks for playing. Ke$ha later."
Great. I spent nine hours of my life violating pints of ice cream for nothing.
Robbie
Well I got stick beat by vicious mothers.
(sadly) I hate everything.
(stands up) Well... (goes to Tori) ...don't be sad.
I am sad, cause I didn't marry a prince and I don't live in a magic sugar castle, and now, we can't win the Ke$ha concert which means that I gotta keep being Trina's stupid assistant for 28 more days.
Come on. It's okay. Maybe...maybe Trina will just forget about it.
I'm playing Susie, right?
(Sikowitz nervously hems and haws, then runs from the room. Jade picks up the paper with the roles)
(Jade angrily crumples paper and kicks a chair)
I don't think she got it.
Robbie
So, who's playing Susie?
Yeah. Her. That! She got the lead!
I got cheated and humiliated!
You get used to it. (Robbie nods)
Alright, chill down. Let's see. It says right here, "Jade West, understudy for the role of Susie".
Oh, yee hoo. Like it's my dream to be Tori's understudy.
Aw, man! (throws cup against the wall)
Robbie
An understudy is like a backup actor.
So if you get sick or something, your understudy takes over for your part in the play.
Yeah, if you get sick, or go missing, or GET HIT BY A BUS! [storms out]
[nervous] Uh... (Jade breaks something) she can't drive a bus, can she?
Robbie
Why'd you cast Trina as the lead girl?
I didn't want to. You know my Cuddly Cathy doll that I love and I've had since I was five years old?
Nah, I don't know what you're talking about.
Robbie
No, you've never mentioned it.
Oh. Well, Trina kidnapped her, and she wouldn't give her back unless-
Robbie
Unless you gave Trina the lead.
Robbie
Yeah, but don't you think you're a little old to be playing with dolls?
Robbie
I know!
