Lemonade Mouth Page #8

Okay? We're waiting for our parents

to come pick us up.

Oh. Great. Our parents.

- Guys, can you please stop fighting?

- Stupid...

It would be there just like that

No matter what. We'll still be singing

Come on, come on, turn up the music

It's all we got. We're gonna use it

Come on, come on, turn up the music

- Are we in?

- Ha, ha. This is crazy.

Boys.

- Oh, watch my eye. Ow. Oh.

- I know. Sorry.

We sent two cars out there now...

Oh, darling.

When I said get out of the house,

this isn't what I meant. Ha, ha.

- Gram.

- Oh, my sweetheart. Oh.

Wen, your dad,

he's stuck in town at work.

He's on his way.

I just thought I'd come and--

- Thanks for coming.

- Absolutely.

Okay, look, I know

you're disappointed in me, but I just--

I don't want to talk about it. Let's go.

No, Baba, please.

I need to say this.

Look, I'm never gonna be this perfect

Indian daughter you want me to be.

I'm never gonna be

just a regular American teenager.

I guess I don't know what I am exactly,

maybe a little bit of both?

But what I'm trying to say is,

I'm finding my way.

And, yeah, I'll make mistakes.

But I deserve for you

to just let me be me.

Could you at least try, Baba?

But you're still in trouble.

I know.

Ahh. Here we go.

Tommy?

You're lucky I picked up the phone

instead of Mom.

Tell me about it.

Here's the thing, Charlie.

You wanna play music,

you need to stand up to Mom and Dad

and tell them that.

Tell them soccer isn't for you.

That you wanna go to music school,

not Stanford.

That's easy for you to say.

They think everything you do is perfect.

Yeah, well,

they're not thinking that for long.

My grades this semester? Not so hot.

So much for that whole

"perfect" thing, huh?

Here's an idea.

What do you say we go

tell Mom and Dad together?

Yeah, I know.

Grounded for life.

You got off with a warning.

Let's just leave it at that.

Do you know what I see

when I look at you, Stella?

I see the most determined,

focused girl I've ever known.

I mean, look at what you've done.

You started a band.

You stood up for what you believed in.

I'm sorry that I've been

so distracted lately.

But, Stell,

I couldn't be any prouder of what I see.

Really?

- Thanks, Mom.

- Hey, let's get out of here.

Okay.

Hey.

You wanna come see our revolution?

We were planning on it.

"We"?

You guys, come here.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Rising Star presents Mudslide Crush.

My girl is hotter than your girl

You know it, you know it

Yeah, my ride is sweeter than your ride

You know it, you know it

Don't you wish you were us?

Don't you wish you were us?

You know we own this party

You know we run this town

I'm about to steal your girlfriend

I'm about to knock you down

Sorry, but your train has left the station

Maybe you should try

A permanent vacation

Never even got an invitation

Did ya? Did ya?

Hey, what?

Don't you wish you were us?

Hey, what?

Don't you wish you could rock?

You're MIA. We're VIP

You're LOL. We're BIG

No one really likes you that much

Don't you wish you were us?

Yeah

Don't you wish you were us?

Yeah, yeah

Now all the pretty girls are waiting

To get their picture taken

With the Crush

Don't you wish you were us?

Yeah, don't you wish you were us?

- They really are...

- Very, very good.

Whoo! Hey, what?

Don't you wish you were us?

Hey, what?

Don't you wish you could rock?

You're MIA. We're VIP

You're LOL. We're BIG

No one really likes you that much

Don't you wish you were--?

Top that.

Oh, we will. Trust me.

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen, Lemonade Mouth.

Trying hard to fight these tears

I'm crazy worried

Messing with my head, this fear

I'm so sorry.

In the bag.

Please. You can do this.

I can't.

Olivia.

- Okay, where are you going?

- They need help, man.

No, no. You do that, man,

and you're out of the band for good.

Trying hard to fight these tears

I'm crazy worried

Messing with my head, this fear

I'm so sorry

You know, you gotta get it out

I can take it

That's what being a friend's about

Then I guess, you know,

I'll find another band.

Man, don't walk away from me.

I, I wanna cry

I can't deny

Tonight I wanna up and hide

And get inside

It isn't right

I gotta live in my life

I know I, I know I, I know I gotta do it

I know I, I know I, I know I gotta do it

Gotta turn the world

Into your dance floor

Determinate. Determinate

Push until you can't

And then demand more

Determinate. Determinate

You and me together

We can make it better

Gotta turn the world

Into your dance floor

Determinate. Determinate.

Yeah!

We didn't win Rising Star,

but we won something bigger that night.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Thank you for helping us out.

It's the least I could do.

So this package deal

that you were talking about?

- You and your music?

- Yeah?

Well, it sounds pretty good.

And if you, um--

If you could give me a chance,

I'd really like to get to know this Mohini.

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

I'd like that.

- Hey, Charlie.

- Hey.

Hey.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- What's up?

- I brought you something.

What is it? Oh, my goodness.

Oh, the little kitty.

Where did you get her?

One of Sydney's old roommates

found a whole litter,

and, uh, I thought of you.

Oh, she's adorable.

Hi. Hi.

You were right, you know.

About Sydney.

You know, she may not be my mom,

but she definitely cares.

I mean, it's not perfect, but it's okay.

Yeah, well, perfect, Wen?

Way overrated.

Come here.

Thank you. Thank you.

For a long time

there has been an empty spot

in my life and in my heart.

And meeting you has brought joy

back into my life.

In life, and in music,

things have a funny way of turning out

exactly the way they're supposed to.

--will make Wen and Georgie and I

happy and complete

for the rest of our lives.

That's my band mate up there.

- And that's my old college buddy.

- Huh.

See, you and me, we're, like,

practically best friends already.

You know, I used to be in a band too.

- Really?

- Yeah. Played bass.

What do you do now?

Now I own an organic lemonade company.

Thing is going gangbusters. It's crazy.

People just can't get enough of the stuff.

- Mel?

- Yeah.

Let me ask you something, Mel.

Sometimes, risking it all

to have your voice heard

pays off in ways you never imagined.

Mel understood this,

and was more than happy

to help us build a place

where all our voices could be heard.

Outside of the basement.

Congratulations, Miss Reznick.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

All right. Let's open up our music hall.

- One second, Jenny.

- We are officially--

- Photo op for the papers right here.

- Okay.

- Here we are.

- We are open.

Yeah!

Who would have thought? Stella.

Stella did all of this.

Hey, you guys. Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Oh! Ha, ha.

- Cheers.

- To music.

- To music.

You know, she'd actually make

a very good principal one day.

What?

Well, I used to be a bit

of a rebel myself, back in the day.
