We're on. We're on.

No way. The freak went on without us.

I don't believe it.

Hey. Do me a favor.

- Play Maggie's song.

- Absolutely.

Hey. Let's kick it off

with "I've Got You."

Yeah. Definitely.

Come on. Let's go.

- Phillips is gonna be pissed.

- Who cares?

Harry. Harry, we're playing

"I've Got You."

Ashley. Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah. Yeah. I'm okay.

Oh, I'm proud of you.

- Katy!

- Yes!

- They're great!

- It's good!

Danny! Whoo!

I thought I told you

not to play this song.

Well, I guess

I'm not superstitious.

But I am.

I should fire you, Jake.

But it works.

It works. Good job.

Thank you.

They're playing my song!

- Whoo!

- Whoo!

Is that the sound

of them clapping...

- or my nervous system shutting down?

- No. They're clapping.

Hello, Times Square!

- Congratulations!

- Ashley, thank you!

- Great to be here, everybody.

Oh. Who wants to meet

my friend Mr. Dom Prignon?

- That would be the '94?

- Yeah!

- The '95! Yeah, baby!

- Yeah. That's okay.

All right, guys.

Champagne time! Everybody.

McFly on three. On three.

Champagne time.

One- Help me out.

One, two, three!

McFly!

All right. Danny. Everybody.

Get over here. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Let's go, baby.

Ashley.

- Come on. Let's go celebrate.

- Hey. Um, not now.

What's wrong with you?

You look miserable.

Maggie,

I think I've fallen for him.

That's great.

What's the matter with that?

I don't know. I mean, the feelings

I have generally lead toward kissing.

So kiss him. Kiss him!

I can't.

Oh, Ash.

Please don't tell me

you still believe in that stuff.

More than ever.

And I can't not kiss him.

- I gotta go.

- What? Where are you going?

Grand Central.

I'm gonna visit

my parents for a bit.

I have to sort things out.

Give me a hug, you.

Have fun, okay?

And be careful.

Okay.

Bye.

Gather round. Gather round.

Of course.

You waitin' for a train?

I'm just saying if you are,

you might as well give up now.

- Jake, please.

- With your luck...

there's gonna be an announcement

that due to some freak accident

all trains have been canceled.

Then you're gonna go outside

and wait for the bus...

at which point the acid rain will commence-

perhaps even acid hail.

Listen, Jake. I can't see you.

Okay? It's for your own good.

Luck changes, Ashley.

You know?

You know, I- I kissed this amazing girl

at this masquerade party.

No. Listen. I swear I'm not crazy, okay?

Our luck did get switched.

And it still is.

Here. I dare you not to win.

So you think meeting me

was unlucky?

No. God, I'm lucky

to have met you.

Okay?

But you deserve my luck.

- You put it to better use than I ever did.

- Well, I don't want it anymore.

- Are you crazy?

- I want you to have it.

- No. Go away.

- It's been great...

but I'll be fine without it.

How do you know that?

Because I'll have you in my life.

A few bumps and bruises along the way

are a small price to pay.

Tag. You're it.

Oh, no. You're not

gettin' away with it that easy.

- Oh, yeah?

- Not a chance.

So now who?

Who cares?

Ew! Gross!

You leave a kid sitting in a limo

so you can make out?

You take me from a perfectly good party

with really cute rock stars...

I pop a shoelace,

swallow my gum...

and now I'm stuck here

watching you two play tonsil hockey.

- Good grief!

- Katy.

I am so glad you're here.

Why are you guys

looking at me like this?

Hold still. Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!

Oh, I've been slimed!

- Try this. You'll like it.

- It's fun.

Cool.

So, where were we just, like-

- Ow.

- Ow.

Twenty-five bucks?

No freakin' way. I'm rich!

Oh, yeah! I'm rich!

I'm taking the limo, okay?

This I gotta show Grams.

I definitely hit the jackpot.

- Hey, Bernie!

- Thank you.

She deserves it.

- Pizza?

- You're on.

So, you think you can

adjust to life without luck?

- Right now I've never felt luckier.

- Me too.

- Do you believe in karma?

- Karma? Ash, you kidding me?

One time I helped an old lady across the street.

Next day, I found a hundred-dollar bill.

- Ash, that's luck.

- Karma.

- It's luck.

- Karma, karma, karma.

- Luck, luck, luck.

- It's karma.

- It's luck.

- Get the door.

Why, thank you.

Hey.

Quarter.

Hmm. Seems we still

have our luck.

- Who cares?

- Absolutely.

Hey! Shut the valve!

The pipe is broken.
