04x13 - Sing It Live!!!-A-Rooney

[bunniefuu]

Girls, feel... the electricity.

That is event television coming together.

It is a special live broadcast called...

♪ Sing it Live ♪

- And I just...

- ♪ Yeah, oh ♪

(Vocalizing)

♪ Yeah ♪

- You good?

- Yeah, no, I'm good.

Millions of people will be watching and I am thrilled!

And look at me.

Closer.

I am terrified.

You're not the only one.

Are you terrified because on live TV there's no way to fix a mistake?

Because that would terrify me.

Now, I'm really scared.

This week, don't even say the word "mistake."

Okay.

Why don't we start rehearsing?

Yes.

Great.

Right.

The three of you are about to stop the sale of Monahan Academy to the evil developer, Larrabee Peaslee.

The live episode is so huge.

We got a superstar to play Larrabee Peaslee.

Justin Timberlake is flying out from New York tonight.

Both: Can we meet him?

Can we meet him?

Yeah, absolutely.

Justin is also hosting the show, so in between scenes, he'll explain what's going on backstage, interact with the live audience, and stand there looking all... Timbery and Lakey.

Let's rehearse Liv's show-stopping, Broadway-will-be-calling song.

Liv, you go to the top of the stairs for your entrance and you descend.

Singing, like honey poured over thunder.

Um, about that, um...

So, my throat has been bothering me lately and I was hoping to save my voice for the live show.

You know, gotta make sure I have all that honey for all that thunder.

(Both laugh)

Of course.

Of course, you do what you have to do.

Because you are the fantastic Liv Rooney.

And you always deliver.

She is good enough for Justin Timberlake.

Are the rest of you!

Your throat's been bothering you for weeks.

That can't be good.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no.

We've just been rehearsing a lot, you know, it's just tired.

So totally normal.

This isn't normal.

She sings every time we rehearse.

I'm really worried about her, Priya.

I should say something to her mom.

I think it's a mistake not to.

Who just said "mistake"?

- Run!

- Oh, no.

Hey.

Why is everybody staring at me?

We want to talk to you about your throat.

Sorry, Liv, I'm really worried about you.

I had to say something.

Oh.

Well, Ruby...

I really appreciate your concern, but I think you're all overreacting.

Oh, are we, Liv?

Are we?

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah, I am.

I am.

Really, my voice is just tired from a long season.

I'm fine.

Liv, honey, I made you an appointment to see the doctor.

Yeah, and Liv, you're going so do not even try to fight.

Okay, I'll go.

Liv, I said...

Really?

Well, that was easier than I thought it would be.

I mean, I'm pretty positive that everything's fine, but if it will make you guys feel better, I'll go.

It sounds like you are under reacting.

Joey, overreact.

Okay.

This isn't about us, Liv, this is about you!

- Nailed that.

- Oh, thanks, buddy.

Oh.

Thanks for driving me, Joey.

Uh-huh, yeah.

Where's Justin Timberlake?

(Sighs)

J.T.'s flight got delayed.

(Groans)

We've been practicing our cool guy handshake.

Starts up here, ends... ba-cha!

Right down here in friendship town.

You know, I think I saw a cool guy somewhere not on this set.

Why don't you guys go find him?

Okay.

Ruby, in this scene, you sneak back into the theater using the elaborate tunnels you've built under Monahan Academy.

Whoa.

Sounds like the Parker Tunnels.

You call them the Sasha Tunnels.

They're exactly the Parker Tunnels.

You're putting my tunnels on TV?

Pretty cool, huh?

Yeah, how much am I getting paid?

What if I make you famous?

- I'm listening.

- And I am standing next to him.

During the live show, we'll be cutting to viewers at home.

We can send a camera to your house and give you thirty seconds of airtime.

You'll become semi-celebrities.

Both: ♪ We're going to be semi-celebrities ♪

♪ We're going to be semi-celebrities ♪

♪ We're going... to be semi-celebrities ♪

♪ Oh!

We're going to be semi-celebrities ♪

♪ We're going to be semi-celebrities ♪

Your cousins are buffoons.

♪ We're going... to be semi-celebrities ♪

It's you guys.

I thought it was Liv, finally home from the doctor.

- She's not back yet?

- No.

- Is that bad?

- I mean, it can't be good.

Doctors never say, "Everything's fine.

Just, why don't you stick around all afternoon."

Okay, Joey, you're freaking me out.

Hey!

Hey, what happened?

What did the...

What'd the doctor say?

Um...

Mom, can you say?

So...

Liv has vocal nodes.

They're like little blisters on your vocal chords and if you don't treat them, they can destroy your voice.

Okay.

How do you treat them?

(Smacks lips)

Um...

I need a surgery.

Basically, as soon as possible.

Whoa.

Um...

but then, you'll be okay after that?

I don't know.

There's a chance that my singing voice may never come back after the surgery.

Julie Andrews had it done, and she was never able to sing the same way again.

But Adele had it, and she got her voice back completely.

So sweetie, we just...

We just have to hope for the best.

The doctor told me to stop singing now to...

prevent any further damage.

Liv, I'm so sorry.

What about the live show tomorrow?

I'm gonna have to tell Gemma that I can't do ♪ Sing...

♪ Sing it Live.

She didn't sing it?

Well, don't tell me I'm overreacting now.

This is bad!

Okay, five minutes to tech rehearsal.

Camera three, check your back focus.

Hey, Gemma.

Oh.

Um, there's something that I need to talk to you about.

Oh, anything for my star.

(Phone chimes)

Oh, one sec.

Okay.

No!

Oh, uh, what's up with my girl?

Um...

was that something important?

Mm-mm.

Mm-hmm.

Justin Timberlake's plane is grounded in New York because...

Who cares why!

He's not gonna get here on time.

I mean, my career is ruined.

The show is ruined.

(Sighs)

I mean...

I'm sure it's not that bad.

You're right.

I still have you.

My rock.

My golden-throated song bird.

This is a triumphant moment.

I mean, the whole world will hear Liv Rooney's magnificent singing voice.

Now, what did you want to say to me?

Just...

that tonight is gonna be so amazing.

And I can't wait to sing.

Oh, Liv, you give me strength.

Everyone, get on your phones!

We need a new Larrabee Peaslee.

Find me a major celebrity or just someone who looks like Justin Timberlake!

Liv, honey, you cannot do the show.

I know, Mom, and I hear you, but you don't understand.

I have to sing.

Munch, I have a plan for the thirty seconds of airtime Gemma has given us on

(Out of tune)

♪ Sing it Live ♪

No.

We are going to launch an empire.

A yoyo empire?

Whoa...

(Clicking tongue)

Can I get through one plan without you interrupting me with your tom-foolery?

You have your strengths, I have mine.

We will use our time on TV to advertise my newest invention.

It's underwear...

that makes your farts smell like bacon.

I call them...

Bacon Briefs.

I call them the thing that's gonna get you into Heaven.

(Sniffs)

Oh, dude, we put these on TV and we're gonna sell so many.

But, it's a super gross product, so we have to keep our message classy.

Mm.

M'kay, that makes sense.

That makes sense.

Oh, oh, oh!

A classy slogan just came to me.

Release the fog...

smell the hog.

Not gonna lie, I love it!

But I think that we have to go even a little classier.

Okay, I understand.

I don't know if I can grow a mustache by tonight, but I will definitely try.

(Grunts)

Titles are rolling.

Okay, we have thirty seconds before we go live to the whole country.

So, who'd you get to replace Justin Timberlake as host of the show?

Was Hugh Jackman available?

Because I'm a fan.

Better.

We got a star who really understands the gravitas of live television.

All right, people, come on.

And...

Cue the host.

- (Cheers and applause)

- Hello, America!

That includes you, Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa!

You hired your husband to host the show?

Karen, he was the best man for the job.

He's the best man for every job.

I'm your host, Johnny Nimbus.

And I got a question for you.

Are you ready to ♪ Sing it Live? ♪

Well, let's take a trip over to Monahan Academy.

(Cheers and applause)

What's wrong?

The Monahan Academy Talent Show is tonight.

I thought you'd be so excited.

How can I be excited?

Larrabee Peaslee is going to close Monahan Academy.

No, we are not going to let that happen.

That rich jerk is gonna be at the show tonight.

We could steal the documents that prove that he doesn't own the school and show everyone what a liar he is.

How?

Through the power of two.

♪ Side by side ♪

♪ Shoulder to shoulder ♪

Both: ♪ We're suddenly smarter and braver and bolder ♪

♪ A little bit younger... ♪

Ready Camera Two, go to two.

Mom!

I thought Liv wasn't gonna sing?

She didn't want to let everyone down.

(Scoffs)

But the doctor said that singing could make things so much worse and she still has that gigantic song at the end of the show.

I know, and I tried to stop her but she would not listen.

All right, I'm her twin.

Let me go talk to her.

Ruby and Liv: ♪ Power of two ♪

And go to commercial break.

We just nailed that act break.

All of America can't wait to see what happens next.

(Cheers and applause)

Wow!

Welcome back to ♪ Sing it Live ♪

Hey, everybody, we are getting ever so close to that big finish.

But first, let's check in with some fans watching at home.

We'll swing on out to Santa Luego, California and meet Joey and Parker.

Hey boys!

Oh, you are looking classy.

(Classical music plays)

Why thank you, Mr. Nimbus.

Oh.

Oh, dear.

- Ooh.

- What's the rumpus, chum?

Oh, the rumpus is coming from my rump.

Oh.

Oh.

I do believe I may ruin our tea with a noxious emission from my posterior.

Worry not, old sport.

Slap on some Bacon Briefs.

Oh.

I give them thirty seconds of air time and this is what they do with it?

Each pair of underwear transforms the odor of your body's gaseous expulsions into the delicious smell of bacon.

Oh, my word.

They turn flatulence...

(Sniffs)

into decadence.

You can trust the strips and let one rip.

Joey: I cannot wait to try this marvelous invention at home...

Karen Rooney, your sons are disgusting.

Bacon Briefs?

Oh, how about it, folks?

I smell a gold mine!

All right, let's get back to the show because the Monahan kids are gonna try to save their school at the talent show.

We have one more scene before Liv takes the stage and ends our show with the beautiful sound of her singing.

Um...

Gemma, about that.

What?

What has your horrible, horrible family done to me now?

Liv needs throat surgery and Maddie has gone to stop her from singing.

What?

Ah, the guests are arriving here at Monahan Academy for the talent show.

Including the diabolical Larrabee Peaslee who recently purchased the school.

In fact...

I believe I see him now.

(With accent)

Hello.

Larrabee Peaslee here.

(Booing)

I do hope that you're enjoying your little talent show.

For it will be the last one ever at Monahan Academy.

For I plan on bulldozing it tomorrow.

(Laughs evilly)

- Wow, he's really... horrible.

Oh.

- Magnificent.

Oh.

For my first illusion, I will make Sasha... disappear.

North, South, East, Westo, disappear with a presto!

Priya: She's lost in the Netherworld...

- Liv.

- Maddie.

What are you doing here?

It's almost my cue to sing.

I'm not letting you sing.

Presto!

This magic trick isn't the only trick tonight.

These documents are phony.

Larrabee Peaslee doesn't own Monahan Academy.

- (Sputters)

But I...

- (Crowd booing)

You miserable kids ruined my perfect plan!

Monahan Academy lives to fight another day.

And now, the grand finale of the talent show, Stephanie Einstein!

Maddie, that's my cue.

I have to get out there and sing.

Liv, you could ruin your voice!

Forever!

Where's Liv?

This is dead air going out to a national audience.

(Clears throat)

Little girl, you know, this reminds old Larrabee of the tale of the elephant and the snow globe.

Ever heard of it?

Well, I should tell you then.

You see, there was a brave elephant who wanted to cross the Himalayas.

What is he doing?

He is filling the dead air with sweet, sweet Nimbus nonsense.

He's saving the show?

Back off, Karen.

He is mine.

Singing is so important to you.

Do you really want to risk your voice?

It may never come back anyway.

The doctor said there's no guarantee that my voice is even gonna be okay after the surgery.

Liv, just please don't do this just because you think everyone's counting on you.

No, I'm not, Maddie.

I'm doing this for me.

Am I scared?

I'm so scared.

But this may be the last song that I ever sing.

You know, I have to sing it.

Hey, Liv.

Yeah?

You knock 'em dead.

So the elephant is trying to step on the snow globe.

He was...

Uh, but he decided snow globes need love too.

The end.

Uh, Sasha, I believe you were saying something.

Oh, um...

And now, for the grand finale of our talent show, Stephanie Einstein!
