Josie and the Pussycats Page #2

And I could be

back in this room, and

I could go in the closet!

Hello? Uh-huh.

You want a demo tape of the Pussycats?

- Your phone didn't even ring.

- It's on vibrate.

- Um, so... so, yeah.

I gotta go right now.

- And then...

You want it right now?

Okay, yeah. So, I'll see you guys later.

All right, I'm on it.

You guys know he's lying.

You know your fly is open.

You know, you... suck!

That's perfect.

Even our manager wants

to see another band.

You guys, come here quick.

Hi. I'm Serena Altschul

with MTV News.

We have just received

a confirmed report...

that the members of

pop sensation Dujour disappeared

in their private jet today,

vanishing from radar

40 miles east of the town of Riverdale.

Authorities are still

trying to determine

the whereabouts of the plane...

and if there are any survivors.

Dujour's label, MegaRecords,

is yet to release a statement,

but they have

released a limited-edition

commemorative box set,

complete with a CD-ROM history

of Dujour in stores tomorrow.

Those poor boys.

We will keep you posted as to

any further developments...

in what seems to be yet

another rock-and-roll tragedy.

But they didn't

say they were dead.

They said they were missing.

I say we raise money

for a search party,

and we hold a bake sale!

Yes!

Man, that is so sad.

It can all be over in a flash.

You know, but at least

they had a record deal.

We can have a record deal.

It's just that we can't sit around here

waiting for it to happen.

We have to make it happen.

And you know what?

Life... Life is short.

And we... we are musicians,

and that means...

that we should be

out there playing music.

We do play, and we rock,

but nobody shows.

- Nobody cares.

- I care. I do. And you know what?

When life gives you lemons,

you make lemonade, and

when the going gets tough...

The tough make lemonade!

Right!

Good. We're all on the same page.

Pack up your bass.

This way.

- I live for these pink shoes.

- Yeah, they are so much cooler than our red shoes.

You guys, pink is the new red.

Wyatt Frame.

I'm with the label.

I'm in town scouting new talent,

and I wondered if there was

anyone worth hearing.

I saw the card, man,

but I missed everything else.

Why don't you start over

while I change songs?

No, wait! Play this.

It's the new single from Dujour...

recorded just a few days ago

before the... disappearance.

I'd really like to test the reaction.

Right on.

Check this out, y'all!

I got the world premiere

ofthe last single ever...

from the late, great Dujour

just for all you in the store.

Check this out.

This is the best!

I love this song!

It's their best ever.

If I don't buy it,

everybody's gonna hate me.

Totally!

And, I also want

orange shoes.

Yeah!

Orange shoes are

so much cooler than

these stupid pink shoes.

You guys, orange

is the new pink!

I am sick of my Reebok sweats.

I need some Puma sweats.

And I gotta buy

a six-pack ofZima.

Dude, you don't drink.

I think I should start.

Yes, I think they responded

to that very well actually.

I think that song sucks.

I plug my ears when

crap like that comes on.

Really? Everybody else

seemed to like it.

That's because they're mindless

drones who will gobble up

anything you tell them is cool.

I see. Wow!

You're a real free thinker, aren't you?

I'd love to talk to you some more.

People in the recording

industry, like me,

always want to hear

the opinion of individuals like yourself...

to find out what we're doing wrong.

Yeah, right.

How much time do you have?

As much as you want.

After you.

Smells like teen spirit.

Well, this must be my lucky day.

A real non-conformist.

I'm so interested to hear

what else you have to say.

Well, first of all,

I don't understand...

Gosh, that's fascinating.

- Frame.

- I'm waiting.

I'm on to it, Fiona.

You wouldn't believe this place.

It's a cultural wasteland.

Stop making excuses and get

your ass back here with a band.

Tomorrow. I'll have

a new band foryou first thing

in the morning. I swear!

Then you'll still

have a job... maybe.

Just put this thing up?

Yeah.

Okay, girls, this is it.

Pussycats unplugged.

Let's hear it.

One, two. One, two, three!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.

What do you think

you're doing?

You can't play here.

I've got things to sell.

They're new. They're orange.

- So?

- So, look at you. You're...

Who's gonna come into

my store with you outside?

The last I checked,

this was a free country.

The last I checked,

I was calling the cops.

"Get your ass back here

with a band."

I'd like to see her

move her ass once, just once.

Like he's really

gonna call the cops.

Run!

This is impossible.

Where the hell

am I supposed to find a...

Hello, ladies.

Wyatt Frame, MegaRecords.

Girls, I can't tell you

how happy I am

to be sitting...

at this table

with the P*ssy Hats.

Pussycats.

Yes, of course. Of course,

that would explain why

you're not wearing any.

Hats.

Okay, I speak on behalf

of everyone at the label...

when I say that we'd love for

you to sign with... MegaRecords.

Whoa, wait, whoa.

Don't sign anything.

Don't sign anything.

- Who is this?

- Alexander Cabot Ill.

I'm the Pussycats' manager.

Really? In that case,

you'll be entitled to 15%

of everything they make.

- I'm his sister, Alexandra.

Love the accent.

- Thank you.

I used to summer on the continent.

Fancy a snog?

Fancy a mint?

Wait a minute.

You want to sign us?

You've never even heard us play.

Oh! Oh, oh.

I'm sorry. Forgive me.

I thought you were a rock band

that wanted to sign with

a major label. My bad.

- No, no, no!

- No!

No. No. It's...

I didn't know it could

happen this fast.

Well, that's the music biz

for you. If you wait for it to

slow down, it might pass you by.

Look what happened

to the Beastie Boys.

- But they're huge stars.

- I know.

Excuse me.

I have to...

- Bathroom?

- Yeah, me too.

I went before we left.

Good for you.

You should always

try to go to the bathroom

before you leave the house,

even if you don't have to...

Okay, this is crazy.

Beep-beep. Gotta gloss.

It wouldn't hide the mustache.

Honk, honk.

Alexander!

I should be here.

It's a ladies' room.

Nothing I haven't seen before.

Does anyone have change

for a tampon?

I'll be outside.

Does anyone else think

this is a little off?

Like what?

Like that Wyatt guy, for one.

Like how he ordered a triple

cappuccino and scooped off all the foam.

Why not just get an espresso?

Plus how he kept folding

his napkin like he's afraid he

doesn't have any real friends?

Just people who want

to use him because he's a big music guy.

Yeah. But I was talking

more about the whole record contract thing.

- It is super sudden.

- It is.

But you said it. You said

we have to go out there and

make things happen, and we did.

I know. I just think maybe

we should think about this for a second.

Gee, Josie,

how exciting for you.

You'll get to go away and
