Andre
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!
Andre
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]
Andre
That was boring?
[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.
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?
Andre
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.
[to Robbie] Hey, Robbie, do you want me to tell you what size pants you are?
I already know. They're a size four.
(Cat laughs)
That's how they measure girls' pants.
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?
Andre
Sure. Why?
Sikowitz got me an audition for a movie.
Andre
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.
Andre
Why?
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?
Yeah, I don't seem so weird anymore, do I?
What did you say, Girl Pants?
Andre
Alright, you gotta work on this resume.
Why, what's wrong with it?
You only have one play on there.
Well, that's all I've been in.
Andre
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.
Andre
You gotta have more things under special skills.
Yeah, you put bike riding as a special skill. Who can't ride a bike?
(puts hand over Rex's mouth) Can you keep any secret?
So what "special skills" should I add?
Andre
Gymnastics.
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)
Really? I had no idea you did stunt work.
I don't! I'm not a stunt double!
Then why'd you accept the job?
I don't know. Because I'm stupid?
I've been telling you people she's stupid, but did anyone believe me?
Andre
Alright, wait. Why did they even offer you a job as a stunt double?
Because of my resume? Under "special skills" I put gymnastics and karate, and that made them think I could do stunts.
See, you should never lie on your resume. (Tori gives her a dirty look) Well, that's not a pretty face.
Andre
[to Tori] Come on, now there's not gonna be a funeral.
Andre
We're all gonna come down to set, keep you cool, watch you land safe and sound, right on that air sack.
(Tori smiles)
Andre
Unless you miss it! [laughs]
(Tori frowns)
Andre
I don't think you'll miss it.
(everyone is at Tori's looking for letters)
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Cat, what'd you say?
Andre
H? Yes! (everybody runs to Cat)
She's got it! She got the H!
(laughs) I feel so loved.
Andre
Where's the ice cream?
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$ha later."
Andre
Contest over.
Great. I spent nine hours of my life violating pints of ice cream for nothing.
Well I got stick beat by vicious mothers.
(sadly) I hate everything.
(stands up) Well... (goes to Tori) ...don't be sad.
I am sad, cause I didn't marry a prince and I don't live in a magic sugar castle, and now, we can't win the Ke$ha concert which means that I gotta keep being Trina's stupid assistant for 28 more days.
Andre
Come on. It's okay. Maybe...maybe Trina will just forget about it.
(the gang with the exception of Robbie and Rex are at the convenience store searching for the "$" to finish spelling "Ke$ha")
(frustrated after opening the Funky Nut Blast can) No. It's just a dumb... H.
Andre
Well maybe there's another pint.
(looking in the ice cream freezer) There's not. That's the only Funky Nut Blast.
(Tori leans against the freezer, starts whining, and then slides to the floor)
AJAndre and Jade
(concerned) Tori.
Andre
We're in public. Please.
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)
Andre
I don't think she got it.
Yeah. Her. That! She got the lead!
I got cheated and humiliated!
You get used to it. (Robbie nods)
Andre
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)
An understudy is like a backup actor.
Andre
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?
Ok, so you're telling me that freak show is a girl?
PPrisoner
What are you looking at?
I'm looking at a big stupid lady in prison, what are you looking at?
Ohhhh...me make big man-lady mad. (prisoner bangs stick against the fence and walks away) Oooh, good one! Hey, call me, we'll go skirt shopping!
Must you aggravate my fellow prisoners?
Andre
Man, eating salt is gross!
Not as gross as the prison food they make us eat in here!
One time, when my brother was in prison, he told the people in charge he was a vegetarian so they gave him special meals. (Tori looks weirded out) Oh wait, that was on an airplane.
