A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song Page #6

We could be here all day!

Well, I could show you some chords!

- I thought you wanted to see Bev.

- Bev can wait a sec.

- Okay.

- Yeah?

Now, I'm gonna show you three chords.

- And we're gonna turn it into a song.

- Okay.

This is the first chord.

It's an E.

All right. Second chord.

Go to G. Slide it up.

Oh, yeah. Okay.

There we go.

Slide it up again. You got an A.

There. We're gonna put it together.

- It's gonna be a whole song.

- Okay.

Now.

Very good. You can play, you rascal.

If you practice and with that haircut,

you could be a Beatle.

No, The Stones are a lot better.

- Luke.

- Hey.

Hi.

- I keep running into you here.

But no partial nudity this time.

Um, I didn't know you and Bev

had a date today.

Oh, yeah.

No, I'm kind of surprising her.

I'll go get her.

He's crazy.

So it looks like she lost her head.

Oh. Yeah, it's an artist's rendition

of what's going on up there.

You play a Gallagher.

That is so cool.

- You know guitars.

- No. Uh-uh.

I mean, yeah, a little. Not really.

Yeah, I know. I like the way the, um...

The rosewood holds the, uh...

- The notes.

- Notes.

Notes, yeah. Um...

You always seem to disappear.

I really wish you wouldn't.

You're actually quite cool.

You think I'm cool?

Luke. Hi.

- What a surprise.

- Um...

- Oh, God, I love your skinny jeans.

- Oh, thank you. Uh...

I brought my guitar.

We could write that song.

- Awesome. Yeah.

- Okay.

Oh, yeah. I guess I gotta go disappear.

And can you just wait in there

for one minute?

- I need your new song.

- What? I'm not done yet.

Give me what you have so far.

- Come on.

- Don't break my heart.

I will break more than that.

- No, that's the lyric.

- What?

That's it?

You have had forever to work on this.

Oh, my God, you're giving me a twitch.

Fine.

Victor?

- Victor.

- Victor.

I know you're there.

You're trespassing

and you've just entered a world of hurt.

Yeah, well, I know all about

your surveillance crap, Victor.

Your cameras hidden in every nook

and cranny, I know.

- What kinds of nooks and crannies?

- You can't prove anything.

Well, I won't tell Mom

if you do me a favor.

I need Katie to talk to me

with no one knowing.

- No one can hear her. She can hear me.

Don't.

- Is it possible?

- Say no.

You've come to the right man.

Watch and learn, ladies.

I can hide a mike anywhere.

Mom swallowed one.

And you don't wanna hear the live feed,

trust me.

Oh, this is insane.

I guarantee my work.

- Hey, Victor, set up Katie.

- Okay.

Here you go, Katie.

I put this in my ear?

You put it on your ear and you talk.

Well, you are ugly,

you could probably fit all it in there.

Luke, I'm so sorry.

I have to give Katie a sisterly talk,

you know.

She's so high-maintenance. Ha, ha.

Anyway, well, where were we?

Uh, well, we hadn't started.

- Perfect. Let's start.

Bev.

Uh, Bev, hey, can you hear me?

- What do you wanna start with?

Bev?

- Yes.

- What?

What? Ha.

You wanna sing and I'll play harmony?

Uh, no.

I was thinking maybe you could sing...

...and I could give you some lyrics

that I wrote.

That sounds good, okay.

- I... Um...

Yeah.

They are, um... Um...

Don't break my heart.

Don't break my heart.

Before I give it to you.

Before I give it to you.

Don't break my heart

before I give it to you, okay.

Don't tell me no.

- Don't tell me no.

Before I ask you to.

Before I ask you to.

Don't tell me no, before I ask you to.

- Yeah.

- That's good. Um...

Thanks.

Don't break my heart.

More?

Don't say it doesn't fit.

Don't say it doesn't fit.

Before you try it on.

Before you try it on.

Don't say it doesn't fit

before you try it on.

Try it on.

- I like it.

- Thanks. Ha, ha.

Um, there's too much to lose.

- There's so much to lose.

Too much to lose.

Too much to lose.

To be wrong.

- To be wrong.

Too much to lose to be wrong.

- Yeah. That's good.

Yeah.

More? You got any more?

Yeah.

- And it feels like there's something here.

And it feels like

there's something here.

And it feels like

there's something here.

But I wanna see it

before it disappears.

But I wanna see it

before it disappears.

- Yeah.

Do you like that?

And if there's something real

between me and you.

And if there's something real

between me and you.

If there's something real between...

- Or are we both open to.

Don't break my heart before I give it to you

Don't tell me no before I ask you to

Don't say it doesn't fit before you try it on

There's too much to lose to be wrong

And it feels like there's something here

But I wanna see it before it disappears

And if there's something real

Between me and you

Well, are we both open to

All these possibilities

So many little possibilities

Who wants pie?

Ugh!

Sorry. Um, I was just gonna go

get some pie and thinking:

"Why should I get pie for myself. There

might be other people that want some pie?"

I want pie.

No, Katie, there's no pie needs here

at the moment. Thank you.

You know what? I should go.

Um, I've got some acts to finalize

for the Showcase so I'II, uh...

We were singing.

And we were doing things.

And it was amazing. All of it.

And I'll catch you later, okay?

Okay, I'll walk you out.

- Okay.

- Okay.

What are you doing in my bed?

While waiting for you,

I meditated so strenuously that I fell asleep.

Mr. Victor,

time for your weekly meditation.

Today, we are working on, uh,

silence and potty training.

Oh, sit.

I said sit.

What in the name of Bhuvaneshwari?

Holy cow.

Uh, a bottle of wine ago,

I was gonna be sweet as sugar...

...and apologize for living up

to the stereotype of stepmotherhood.

Dumb.

You know, but making you watch

my real daughter steal the boy you like...

...and the song you wrote.

You're saying you're sorry?

Oh, bless your heart. No, no, no.

I came to my senses and I realized

it was better to just tell you the truth.

You are never gonna amount

to anything.

My mom is a beyotch.

And you're a sneaky, sneaky spy,

Mr. Victor.

How many cameras do you have?

Enough to know your accent's

faker than my mom's soul.

Oh, and don't get the dumb idea

to throw that Showcase.

Because I talked to a lawyer.

And he found a loophole that allows me

to access that money your daddy left you...

...should I need it for a medical reason.

You know, hello, longer legs.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Before you go...

- I'll sing for Bev. Don't worry.

Well, that was easier than I thought.

Now, go and make me a vodka tonic.

Hold the tonic.

Her reign of terror's gotta stop.

I'm in. What do we do?

Look, there's nothing you can do.

If you try to help,

it's just gonna make it worse.

That woman is a demon

spawned from darkness itself.

I wish she'd go straight back to...

Hello, Ms. Gail.

Have you, uh, released your mind

from the shackles of thinking today?

- I'm working on it.

- Very good.

- How was your meditation?

I hate you.

Very good. You look pretty.

I know.

That broad

ain't getting away with ruining your life.
