04x04 - Sing It Louder!!-A-Rooney

[bunniefuu]

(Music playing)

Fashion emergency, Falcon.

Which shirt should I wear for tomorrow?

Well, that depends, Finch.

Do you want to look awesome, or do you want to wear a red shirt?

It's so obvious now!

How is Joey still the coolest kid in school?

And how has my genius not been recognized?

This will change, and I will change it!

(School bell rings)

Hey, Joey.

Check out the Parker-Pack.

Oh!

What is this thing?

This is a jetpack that I invented.

I just need someone brave to be the test pilot.

Oh, oh, me, me, me, me!

Me!

(Clears throat)

I mean, uh...

(Chuckles)

this guy.

Once Booms sees my jetpack, I will finally soar higher than Falcon.

But if it accidentally blows up on its maiden flight, I'd rather have Joey wearing it.

Three, two, one!

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Oh, Parker!

Oh, my ankles!

Ow, ow!

(Sighs)

I failed, and yet it feels like I won.

How could that be?

Oh, yeah, I know.

'Cause Joey got hurt.

Oh, oh, oh!

(Sighs)

Oh, okay...

okay.

Let's try it again.

I think I'll be lighter now that my shoes are b*rned off.

Get used to that.

You're gonna be hearing it a lot.

I am so excited to play Stephanie Einstein again.

I'm back at the Monahan Academy Reform School as Dorm Big Sis.

On the old show, I learned to...

Hey, um, have you by any chance seen our director?

Because I actually don't even know who that is.

Gemma: Look at me.

Closer!

Have you tried the hazelnut creamer?

It is majestic.

- Gemma?

- Liv Rooney!

Hi!

Wait, are you our director?

Oh, I'm gonna direct you so hard!

That is my Gemma.

But wait, I thought that you were still working on Voltage.

Well, I was, but then there was this little problem.

(Chuckles)

- I got fired.

- Oh...

I'm so sorry.

What happened?

The producers blamed me for letting you quit.

- But that's so not your fault.

- Yeah, that's what I said.

Well, that's what I shouted.

And then there was yelling, and then a trash can was kicked, and spaghetti may have been dumped on someone's head.

But hey, hey... we get to work together again!

Yeah!

I'm so excited, this is gonna be so great.

Totally!

Unless the network cancels us.

What?

Why would the network cancel us?

We haven't even started yet.

We can't find a girl to play Sasha.

Ten-year-old Liv Rooney set the bar too high.

Ah, compared to you, everyone looks like garbage.

Sasha is the lead character in the new show.

And it is my job to rehabilitate her and the other kids through the healing power of song.

(Sings a note)

You feel better, don't you?

So...

(Chuckles)

you're saying that if we don't find a Sasha,

- we just don't have a show?

- Yeah.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

And if the network cancels us, someone here is getting a spaghetti hat!

(Music plays)

Oh!

Maddie, have you been up all night?

Yep.

First college all-nighter.

Whoo!

I've got some water to keep me hydrated, some pineapple juice for some energy, and chocolate covered raisins to celebrate each paragraph.

Oh!

You must be exhausted.

What's your paper about?

- The importance of sleep.

- Oh...

Sun salutations.

Who would like a breakfast smoothie?

Oh, you know what?

The blender is broken.

Oh.

Ooh, let me fix it with harmonic bells and positive intentions.

Wait, okay, I'm sorry.

(Laughs)

You really think that you're gonna fix a blender with jingly juju?

You don't have to believe.

Only the blender does.

Oh, Karen, why don't we go harvest some kale from the vertical garden.

Okay, but I'm bringing my coffee and my doughnuts.

Okay...

And...

done!

Yes!

Best freshman paper ever written!

And the crowd goes wild!

Maddie!

Maddie!

Maddie!

Thank you.

(Fizzling, machinery winding down)

No!

No, no, no!

No!

No!

My paper!

My laptop!

Oh!

Why'd the stupid crowd have to go wild?!

(Music plays)

Oh, Liv, I read the script for Sing It Louder!

- It's super good.

- Thank you.

But the show's actually called (Sings)

♪ Sing It Louder ♪ Yeah, I'm not doing that.

Now, who's playing Sasha?

She's so much fun.

Ha-ha.

Well, we actually don't have a Sasha, and if we can't find one, they're going to cancel us, so...

They can't cancel you!

This show has to happen!

It's like Sasha says on page , "Monahan Academy needs Stephanie Einstein!

"I need Stephanie Einstein.

"I would be absolutely lost without you."

Wow.

Ruby, you nailed that line.

You almost had me actually believing that we're not completely doomed.

- (Chuckles)

- Because you're not.

"Don't give up hope.

"Hope is the tiny light " that keeps the darkness from closing in.

"Leave it on.

"Leave that light on."

That was Sasha's speech in the dining hall.

I thought the sentiment applied.

(Laughs)

Ruby, you are really a good little actress.

I lived with you for four years, so I got to learn from the best.

(Music plays)

Oh, I think my sage is blooming.

That's the doughnut powder, hon.

Hey!

Aunt Dena, um, so this is my director, Gemma.

And we have something really important to talk to you about.

First, savor this fresh mint from my vertical garden, which has been kissed by the dewy lips of Mother Earth and warmed in the soft embrace of our Father Sun.

Ah...

I choose doughnuts.

- I'll have some mint.

(Chuckles)

- Oh...

Thank you, mint, for the sacrifice you have made to provide us digestive health.

- Karen, look at me.

Closer.

- Oh!

I find your sister unsettling.

You're a little unsettling yourself.

Okay, so, um, Aunt Dena, uh, how would you feel about Ruby auditioning for (Sings)

♪ Sing It Louder ♪?

- What?

Seriously?

- Yes!

She's, like, super talented!

Liv thinks she's perfect.

And I trust Liv.

She, uh, introduced me to my beloved Johnny Nimbus.

- Oh!

- Actually, that, uh, that was me.

(Laughs)

Actually, don't steal Liv's moment.

Mom, my flip-flop broke.

Can your bells fix it, or should I use tape?

Actually, Ruby, dear, we have something really important to ask you.

What do you think about auditioning for...

(Sings)

♪ Sing It Louder ♪?

Yeah, we actually want you to try out to be Sasha.

Really?

Wow.

Can I have a minute to think about it?

Ruby: No way!

No way!

Best day ever!

- Sure, I'll give it a sh*t.

- (Gasps)

Ohh!

No way!

No way!

Best day ever!

(Music plays)

(Music plays)

Hey.

Ready to walk to school?

Uh, wouldn't you rather fly?

Jetpacks are too unpredictable, so I created the Parker Copter!

Ohhh!

It looks so safe!

Whoo!

Do I look cool?

I feel like I look so cool.

All right, now use the wrist controller and give it a try.

- Okay.

- (Propellers whirring)

(Screeching)

I'm flying!

This must be how dragons feel!

(Shouting)

Great job, Munch!

Now bring it back!

Joey: Yeah, right!

I'll see you at school!

- (Propellers whirring)

- Look, up in the sky!

It's a bird!

It's a copter!

It's Falcon.

Falcon can fly?

Falcon can fly!

Hey!

Hey!

I designed that heli-pack!

Who cares?

Falcon can fly!

(Chanting)

Falcon!

Falcon!

Falcon!

Falcon!

Falcon!

Falcon!

Falcon!

(Music plays)

- Where have you been?!

- Uh, school.

(Scoffs)

Okay, well, my computer crashed.

And my paper's in there.

So get it out, please.

Did you spill something on it?

(Scoffs)

No.

Because that's what happened to your last three computers.

Yeah, and I totally learned my lesson, to keep liquids far, far away from my...

That proves nothing!

Can you fix it?

I could, but... would that really teach you a lesson?

(Music playing)

Liv, are you and, uh, little Liv ready?

Because we need a Sasha bad.

We've seen kids today, and the network hated every last one of them.

Child, pay attention to my words.

You are our last hope.

- I am?

- Yes.

You also have the eyes of a baby deer.

(Chuckles)

Do not let us down, baby deer!

Gemma, that is a lot of pressure to put on her.

Oh, there's pressure, mamacita.

If she doesn't nail it, this show is over.

And I lose my house and my dog.

Gemma, you don't even have a dog.

And I will never get a dog if this show is cancelled.

Liv, this isn't what I expected.

I'm kind of freaking out here.

Everybody gets nervous auditioning.

Okay?

And I know that you are going to be amazing.

Please welcome Ruby, the actress who will save all of our jobs and revolutionize television itself.

I can't do this.

I'm sorry, Liv.

(Chuckles)

The good news is those stairs go nowhere, so we have her cornered.

(Music playing)

(Music playing)

(Chuckles)

So...

I completely understand.

This is very overwhelming.

There's a lot of important people here to watch you.

I'm not worried about them.

I'm worried about you.

- You're worried about me?

- Yeah.

If I don't do a good job, your show will be cancelled.

I just don't want to let you down.

Ruby, no.

You could never let me down.

If you don't wanna audition, you don't have to audition!

It would be really, really fun for me to work with you, but I promise it's fun enough for me just being your cousin.

Thanks, Liv.

I'm gonna go tell Gemma that this isn't happening.

Wait.

You know what?

Now that I know I can't disappoint you, I want to audition.

Are you sure you're not just doing this for me?

Totally sure.

Let's do this!

- Do what?

- Let's...

Both: ♪ Sing it louder ♪

Whoo!

(Music plays)

Good morning, morning!

Maddie!

Have you been up all night?

Yes, I have.

Because I am attempting to rewrite my entire paper from memory.

Because I spilled juice all over my hard drive.

Ooh.

You mixed water and earth elements.

That is a no-no combo.

Maybe I could work with Mother Earth to fix it.

You know what?

Yeah, sure.

I am desperate.

So why don't you do that juju that you do-do.

I will need an ostrich feather.

Oh, luckily, I have one in my drawer of holistic healing.

(Screeching)

- (Screeching)

- (Computer chimes)

It...

it...

it's on!

That just turned on!

Last night, the computer turned itself on after it dried out.

But if it makes her believe in the juju that I do-do, then let her believe that it is true-true.

(Music plays)

Make way for the man who has tamed the skies!

(Propeller whirring)

(Students cheering)

What's it like up there, Falcon?

What do the clouds taste like?

(Chuckles)

Well, Finchy, the clouds taste like...

cotton candy.

(Cheering)

Scientifically, I know that's not possible, but Falcon makes me want to believe!

Instead of describing this magical cloud, why don't you bring some down here so that we can all taste it?

(Laughs)

Well, I'm not really sure that's possible.

Uh, anything is possible for Falcon!

- Right, guys?

- All: Yeah!

All: Falcon!

Falcon!

- Falcon!

Falcon!

- Uh...

okay.

(Laughs)

Okay, I...

I guess this is happening.

(Whirring)

He takes to the sky like an angel.

I had had enough of Joey getting credit for my invention.

Luckily, every good scientist builds an override switch.

Whoa!

(Shouting)

- Oh!

Ah!

- Whoa, what's Falcon doing?

(Shouting)

Mayday!

Mayday!

(Shouting)

He's headed for a flock of seagulls!

Oh, is he?

Oh, no!

Ahh!

- Watch out!

- (Joey shouting)

(All gasp)

Falcon, say something.

Who...

wants some cloud?

(Cheering)

I remembered that I always carry cotton candy in my pants.

I also carry thumbtacks.

Guess which pocket I fell on.

(Chanting)

Falcon!

Falcon!

Falcon!

Falcon!

Oh, come on!

Liv: When I went to Monahan Academy, I was a scared little girl who needed help.

But now a scared little girl needed my help.

Hey.

It's Stephanie.

I brought cocoa.

(Chuckles)

Come on.

Talk to me, Sasha.

- Did you bring marshmallows?

- We were out.

Then I'll be in my plant.

Why are you hiding?

Because I'm new.

And I don't want people to know what I did to make the judge send me here.

That's what you're worried about?

Sasha, everyone here has done something wrong.

So...

come on.

Why don't you...

Why don't you tell me what it is that you did.

I can't.

I don't want people to think I'm bad.
