On a regional cable affiliate.

As he walks away,

FAT AMY:

I’m gonna break that jag in half.

Beca turns to this rag-tag group of girls.

BECA:

What we just did was great, right?.

AUBREY:

Calm your pits, Beca. We still

lost.

BECA:

Yeah, but it was spontaneous.

There were no rules. And we were...

Aubrey puts her hand out, interrupting Beca.

AUBREY:

Hands in. “AHHH” on my count.

STACIE:

On three or after three?

CYNTHIA ROSE:

On three.

FAT AMY:

After three.

CYNTHIA ROSE:

No. It’s one, two, “AHHH.”

AUBREY:

That’s not how we do it.

count off?

This debate continues as we TRANSITION to...

52 INT. BECA’S DORM ROOM - LATER 52

Beca’s at her desk with her headphones on, working on her

computer. Jesse’s right there, watching her work.

BECA:

(yelling)

I find songs with the same chord

progressions and create a track

that blends them all together. This

is the new baseline, this matches

up the downbeats and I’m talking

really loud, aren’t I?

Jesse nods.

BECA (CONT’D)

(kind of shy)

And that’s me singing.

Jesse takes the headphones and listens to Beca’s “mash-up.”

His eyes light up, clearly impressed.

JESSE:

(extra loud)

This is really good!
