01x01 - Wrong Song

[bunniefuu]

Do you see what I see?

[chuckles] It's a cloud in the shape
of a rabbit. Cute.

No. Lower.

[giggles] A rabbit in the shape
of a cloud, even cuter.

Higher.

Nick with a goofy smile on his face.

Nick with a goofy smile on his face?

Now that's something
you don't see every day.

Are you kidding?
I love golf.

My dad taught me.
So you're... you're into it, too?

It's like my favorite sport. You know,
not a lot of people appreciate golf.

What's your favorite
part of the game?

Hitting the ball through the clown's mouth
and watching it come out his pants.

-I'm kidding.
-Good.

That's good.
All right, see you in class.

See, ya.

[snaps]
Hey, guys.

-So, what's her name?
-Whose name?

-The girl you're crushing on.
-Crushing?

What are you, 11?
I think her name was, like, Jenny or...

Penny... or something.

-Here we go again.
-What are you talking about?

Nick, you always
fall too hard too fast.

It's like you meet a girl,
then boom, instant love.

Then boom, you get dumped.
And then boom, broken heart.

And me and Kevin are there
picking up the pieces.

"Oh, it's Nick's broken heart."

All right, that happened,
like, one time.

-[both] six times.
-All right, you know what?

Don't worry, because I'm taking things
nice and slow.

There was like 100 pictures of her
in his locker, right?

That's what we thought.

-Arms.
-So, why am I putting this on?

It's gonna be Joe's
and I want to make sure that--

Joe's gonna wear this?
[gasping]

Yeah.
And I want to see if--

Joe's gonna put his arms
through these sleeves?

And his hands are gonna
come out of these holes.

These will be Joe's hands.

Ahh...

Macy.

-Macy!
-How long was I out?

So, you know how crazed fans
sometimes go after Kevin, Joe and Nick,

and rip and tear their clothes
to get a little souvenir?

[gasps] I couldn't help it!
Nick was standing so close.

I had to have a piece of him,
so I grabbed--

Macy, that was you?

[sighs]

You see?
A perfectly good shirt... ruined.

This is why I created
a new line of clothing I like to call,

"Stellcro."
Patent pending.

Now when an overly excited fan
grabs at the guys' jackets,

the sleeve will just...
break away.

Then, instead of throwing out a beautiful
and expensive garment...

all I have to do...

is replace the sleeve.

Voilà!

Less work for Stella.

More sleeve for Macy.
[giggles]

I'm sorry.
Do you see what I see?

Weird. That guy looks
just like Nick except he's smiling.

It is Nick.

And he's more than smiling, he's smitten.

Aww.

And just when my gossip tank
was running on empty.

I mean, how crazy is it
that you love golf and play guitar?

I... I just can't believe I'm even
playing in front of you right now.

You sound great.

Well, I have my first real performance
this Friday at CBDB's.

-Wanna come?
-I'm there.

OK.
Suddenly, I'm nervous.

Look, the trick is just look
really bored while you play.

Then the audience thinks you
really know what you're doing.

Let me show you.

-[yawns]
-[giggles]

OK, so what's the trick
to recording my first demo?

-Do it in our studio.
-Are... are you serious?

Of course.

I mean, read the fan magazines.
I'm the serious one.

[gasps]
Thank you.

Look at them all cozy in there.

It would just be so rude of us to butt in.

Oh, we've definitely got to do this.

-Let's do it.
-OK.

-What's up?
-Oh, Nick?

-Didn't see you out here.
-Oh, really?

Because this whole thing is glass
and we're the only two people here.

This is glass?

And you must be Penny.
We've heard so much about you.

-No, they haven't.
-All Captain McHappy can talk about

-is how wonderful you are.
-No, I don't.

-It's nonstop.
-No, it's not.

I apologize for their juvenile behavior.

Hey, I can apologize for my own
juvenile behavior, thank you very much.

-Are these clowns bothering you?
-Yes.

[both]
No!

Leave the guy alone.
He's hanging with a friend.

I think he deserves a little privacy.

-OK.
-See you at home, Captain McHappy.

Hey, I came up with that.

-Thanks, Stell.
-Yeah, it's no problem.

OK, so tell me everything.
Don't leave anything out.

Nothing is too personal.
Start at the very beginning.

-Where did you two meet?
-Stella!

-It was so great meeting you.
-You, too.

[rock music playing]

I... I... I like the jacket better.
This feels a little stiff.

Oh, yeah, I know. I'm still trying
to work on a softer thread for the seam.

Oh, I know.
I know. OK.

You pretend you're one of the Jonas guys--

Oh, golly!
Which one should I be? [chuckles]

I'll be Joe. He's so cool.
Just the way he walks, like...

[gasps]
Or maybe Kevin!

He's so out there and wild like...

Or... or Nick, with all that intensity.

What you do,
just follow them around all day?

No, of course not.
Why, do they see me?

OK, you're a Jonas...

and I am a crazed fan.

[screaming hysterically]

Do you see them?
Oh, my gosh!

It's a Jonas!
It's Jonas!

[shrieks]
It's Jonas!

-[rips]
-[students gasping]

[Macy screams]

This is why we test things.

There is nothing to see here!

Hey!

[students laughing]

-Want your shirt?
-[Macy] Yeah.

[rock music playing]

[whirring]

I'm thinking of someone.

Twenty questions: Go.

OK. Hmm.

-Is it someone famous?
-Yes.

-Is it me?
-No.

-Is it Will Smith?
-Man, you're good.

Here we go, one banana smoothie
with immunity boost.

-There you go.
-Thank you.

Hmm. OK, ready?
I got one for you.

I'm thinking of something
and it's an animal.

-It's an otter that plays the trumpet.
-Wow, we know each other so well.

Hey, take a look.

It's Penny, but there's no sign of Nick.

He really must be
taking it slow this time.

[Nick]
Excuse me, coming through!

Hi, sorry.
Look out.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Easy.

-[Joe] Twenty questions.
-Not now, OK?

-[Kevin] Yeah!
-[Joe] I'm thinking of someone.

Uh... can I go?
Is it a girl?

Hmm. Is Nick moving
too fast with this girl?

Oh, let me guess,
her name rhymes with flenny.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Guys, lay off, OK?
Just because Penny plays like an angel,

-smiles like an angel...
-Mm-hmm.

Makes me feel like I'm in heaven,

doesn't mean I'm moving too fast,
all right?

-Hey, there you are.
-I wrote you a song.

What?

I wrote you a song.
Can't wait to play it for you.

-You want to hear it?
-Are... are you kidding? Duh!

That's incredible!

I mean, no one's ever
written a song for me before,

let alone a rock star.

You have a great smile.

Shh!

-You'll ruin my image.
-Can you teach it to me?

Well, I mean, it's pretty simple.

Um, you just kind of turn up
the corners of your mouth--

No, no, the song.
I want to learn the song.

Oh, right.
[clears throat]

The song. Um...

-Starts with a "C."
-[ballad plays]

"A." Perfect.

[beeping]

Are you still trying to find an outfit
to wear to your girlfriend's show tonight?

She's not my girlfriend.

You're obviously crazy about this girl.

I'm a little bit nervous
whether she likes you, too.

-I'm not nervous.
-Oh, really?

[clears throat]
That's a look Stella put together.

Don't tell Stella, please.

Bro, we're just worried you're doing
the falling-too-hard-and-fast thing again.

-I'm not.
-Dude, you wrote her a song.

-How'd you know that?
-There's sheet music everywhere.

"Penny's got me going crazy."

"Burning up for Penny."

Why is there sheet music in the shower?

I'm sorry, Dad.
I got a little inspired.

"SOS, Penny."

"When you look me in the eyes, Penny."

Is someone a little
too much in love again?

I'm not in love, OK? And would
everybody please stop saying again?

-It happened, like, a couple times.
-Six times total.

-OK, six times.
-Pretty sure. Yeah.

Maybe.

Well, look, I will let you in
on a little secret, OK?

Your mother was the 23rd love of my life.

-No way.
-Wow.

Yeah. I was walking down the aisle
of the school bus and passed 22 girls

before I saw your mom.
h*-h*! Boom!

-Ha!
-Oh, boom goes the dynamite!

[chuckles]
Gotcha.

-Boom. That's funny.
-Sort of.

-Not really.
-Anyway, look.

Seriously, I want you to know
that I'm here for you

if this little heart
of yours breaks again.

Not again, for the first time.
Not that it is.

-If it does, I'm here for you, OK?
-Dad, it's cool.

Me and Joe got it covered.

OK.

I think we can still
wring a hit out of this one, huh?

[chuckles]
OK.

-You should go take your shower.
-Yeah, I'd better clean up.

Nick, dude.

How about me and Kevin
come with you to Penny's show tonight,

-just for support?
-No.

No, um, if you guys go,
it'll draw too much attention.

I mean, everyone
will be looking at Jonas

and not paying attention to Penny.

Well, then, we'll go low key.

Real low key
or your version of low key?

See, Nick? People in here don't even know
that Jonas is in the house.

Seriously?
How did you get to be the oldest?

Nick, I'm not really this old.

It's a wig and mustache taped to my face.

What's your problem?

Stella got me to test out
these new Stellcro pants

and they itch like crazy.

[applause]

Thank you.

Um, I'd like to start off this set
with my newest song.

It's called "Give Love a Try."

Hope you like it.

And she's not my girlfriend, all right?

Oh, sorry.
I completely forgot.

Um, I'd like to dedicate this song
to the coolest,

sweetest, grooviest guy on the planet.

A guy whose heart is filled with music,

[ballad plays]

Hey, what happened to you last night?
I didn't see you.

I was kind of in the back on the down low,
and Joe was wearing his pants inside out.

-It's kind of a long story.
-Right.

So, what'd you think?
Your opinion means a lot to me.

Actually, I was kind of surprised
to hear you sing "Give Love a Try."

Well, you...
you wrote it for me to sing, right?

-Oh.
-I mean, that is why you wrote it, right?

Yeah. Yeah, that's why I wrote it.
I wrote it for you to sing.

You hated it.
I feel awful.

Are you kidding?
You were awesome.

And to hear you sing it to Jimmy,
who apparently is your... boyfriend,

that was... magical.

I'm so relieved.
I can't wait to tell Jimmy.

Nick, how'd it go?
We couldn't hear a thing.

There's nothing to hear.
We talked it all out.

It was just one big misunderstanding.

-Since Penny's already with Johnny--
-Jimmy.

Whatever.

-She and I are just gonna be friends.
-Really?

Everything's cool. I told you
I wasn't taking things too fast.

-Hmm. I guess we had this one wrong.
-You sure did.

Looks like our little Nickel
is growing up.

He sure is.

Oh, Nick, I... I almost forgot.
Um, remember when you said

that I could record
my demo in your studio?

-Yeah.
-Well, what if I sang "Give Love a Try"?

Uh...

It's a great idea.

I mean, I wrote it for you, right?

Right.
You're awesome.

-You're awesome.
-So, totally awesome.

-[Macy] Ouch! Stop!
-[Stella] I don't get it!

This leg should just tear...
right... off!

[strumming]

Your brother writes amazing songs.

It's really nothing.
I write songs all the time.

It's true. He can write a song
before breakfast.

But we never really use them
because they're always like...

♪ My stomach's growlin' for love ♪

[Penny giggles]

OK, um, why don't you get in the booth
so we can get a level?

What?

OK. So, Nick,
how do you want to tackle this?

All right, first hit the backing track,
then pick up the rhythm guitar

-and then hit the lead vocal.
-OK.

OK.

I can't do this.

-Nick, what's going on?
-Nothing.

Come on, it's us.

-You're just gonna make fun of me.
-We're your brothers.

We're gonna make fun of you
no matter what it is.

I didn't take it slow with Penny.

I burned rubber and went, like,

Man, I thought I was getting
better at the romance thing.

-Nope.
-Not at all.

I made a total idiot of myself.

-How dumb can I be?
-You're not dumb.

You're just really intense.

Which is sad for you, but lucky for us
because we get great songs out of it.

True.
What do I do now?

Well, you could hide in your locker
for the rest of the year.

Or you could go upstairs,
record that demo with Penny...

after you're done say,
"See you at school. Nice working with you."

If I do the locker thing,

-would you guys bring me some food?
-Absolutely not.

Do I look like a waiter?

-Everything OK?
-Yeah, we were just, um...

Look, when I said
I wrote the song for you,

I didn't mean I wrote it for you.

I meant I wrote it for... you.

Yeah, I know and it's really great
that you would write me a song, it's...

-Oh...
-Yeah.

I guess I just got a little carried away
in my head, a little bit.

-I do that sometimes.
-Nick, I... I feel terrible.

I mean, I hope you don't think
that I led you on.

I really like you and when you said

-you wrote me a song, I thought--
-No, it was all me.

-You kind of fall hard, huh?
-Yeah, that's what they tell me.

And tell me.

No wonder you write such good songs.

Hey, I'm just gonna get my stuff and go.

Wait. You should at least stay
and record the song.

No, I can't sing it
now that I know the truth

about why you wrote it.

But won't Jimmy
be disappointed and stuff

since you dedicated it to him?

I... I broke up with him.

-Why?
-Well, because he didn't like the song.

And anyone who doesn't like
an awesome song like this...

just doesn't get me.

So you're saying the song's available?

It's completely unattached.

I think we have a demo to record.

OK, now the final test
is to see if your average fan

can tell which is the Stellcro garment.

Two of the boys are
wearing regular clothes,

one is wearing Stellcro.

I want to see if you can tell
which of the boys is gonna be--

-[shrieking]

Yeah, that... that wasn't the one.

Who are you?!
