Will we all be

showering together?

(Chicago clears throat)

Uh, first up is a sound check.

We'll have you back

to the hotel by 1430.

Maybe hit the rain locker,

back here for the big show

at 1700. Yeah.

(clears throat) 1700. is that,

like, later than the night?

It's 5:
00.

Okay. Whatever.

- Okay. Yep.

- AMY :
Question, question.

Um, so this is the first base.

Will we be going to second base

with you guys?

And then,

maybe a few days later,

we'll go to third base?

- (Amy chuckles)

- That's a "no" for me, so.

Wait, what's after

the third base?

Why don't we get you

to your first venue?

Come on.

CHICAGO :

All right, well, we are

really excited

to have you here.

Right now

we're in Hangar Three.

This is where we keep

all of our helicopters.

Of course, now we've got

the big stage

built up for the tour.

So, on the tour,

we've got three bands.

Over here, we got Saddle Up.

This is Young Sparrow

and DJ Dragon Nutz.

And behind me is Evermoist.

- (quiet chatter)

- CHICAGO :
Oh!

And check it out.

DJ Khaled just rolled in.

GAIL :
Let's set the stage,

all right?

- Let's get ready before the.

- So we should turn around

- and shoot into it, I think.

- .the Bellas out.

- Get the Bellas.

- CHICAGO :
Hey, guys.

Come say hey to the new group.

- Yo. - Hi.

- LILLY :
Oh.

AUBREY :

Hello. We're the Bellas,

formerly of Barden University

and currently of life.

- Ladies.

- Howdy.

- Hey. - Hey.

- DJ DRAGON NUTZ : Ladies, I want

to give you

a little forewarning.

My man's social anxiety,

when he's not behind the

turntables, it's kind of crazy.

- So be easy, all right?

- Hello. - Hi.

Hello

Is it me

you're looking for?

Right on. I'm Calamity.

This is Serenity,

Veracity and Charity.

- Hi. - Hey.

- AMY :
Hi.

If I joined your group,

I could be Obesity.

(Amy chuckles)

- Get it?

- SERENITY :
Oh, if you're wondering,

- our presence here has nothing to do with.

- Nothing.

.the nationally televised

"Salute to the Troops" special

where DJ Khaled is going to

pick one group to open for him

at the end of this tour.

That was a lot of exposition.

So there is a competition.

I knew it.

- And so there is.

- Idiots!

GAIL :

What, do you think we

care about just watching

you guys?

It's a competition! Hello!

You guys just sing

other people's songs, right?

- Like a cover band.

- (chuckling):
No, no, no, no.

- No.

- Uh, no, no, no. Uh, well,

actually, Emily writes

original songs for the Bellas.

I mean, I don't really

do it anymore.

- I kind of did that one, and then I.

- Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You with us or against us?

And it was one of your dads

who gave you

the spot on the tour, right?

- (gasps) Oh, my God.

- Um.

- Ooh.

- EMILY :
Guys, stop.

They just don't like

sharing the spotlight,

so they're trying

to intimidate us.

Let's just take the high road

and do what we do.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

What are you thinking?

- A riff-off.

- (gasping)

- That's not what I was thinking.

- A riff-off!

Wait. Yes.

A riff-off! Yes!

- What is a riff-off?

- Yeah.

A riff-off is a little game

that we like to play

to see who's better.

- Mm-hmm.

- We start with a topic. Um.

- Let's say "party songs."

- Ooh. - Nice.

Yeah, and then we

lay down a beat.

- GAIL :
Oh, yeah, bring it, Bellas!

- (John chuckling)

- Oh, go, ladies.

- (beatboxing)

I'm comin' up

So you better get

this party started

I'm comin' up, I'm comin'

I'm comin' up, so you

Don't you dare look back,

just keep your eyes on me

I said,

"You're holding back"

She said, "Shut up

and dance with me"

Give me that toot-toot

Let me give you

that beep-beep

Running her hands

through my fro

Bouncing on 24s

while they say on the radio

It's the remix to ignition,

hot and fresh out the kitchen

- Mama rollin'

- Rollin' in my 6-4

- Bada-bop

- With all my Bellas saying

Swing down, sweet chariot,

stop and let me ride

- Hell yeah

- Swing down

Sweet chariot, stop

and let me ride

Let me ride.

(holding high note)

Is that feedback?

(continues holding note)

CHLOE :
Yeah, so you guys saw

what we did there, right?

- Yeah.

- So. it's singing.

CHLOE :

No, well. (chuckles)

We just took the last word

of the old song

and matched it

with the first word

of the new song,

but you stay on tempo,

stay on beat,

stay on pitch and, of course,

- keep it in the relative key.

- CALAMITY :
That was great.

- That was really well done.

- Yeah.

AUBREY :

Okay, okay.

Round two.

Let's keep it simple this time.

What about.

"artists you didn't know

were Jewish"?

- Mm.

- That was crazy.

- What?

- Let's do this.

- Let's do this.

- Okay.

(beatboxing)

- Oh.

- Mm-hmm.

- Oh

- I wish that I could fly

- I could fly

- So very high

- Very high

- Into the sky, yeah

Just like a dragonfly

I want to, I want to

I want to get away

- Yeah, well, get away, then.

- I want to fly away

Yeah, yeah, yeah

- I stopped using my head, using my head

- Hey.

- Let it all go

- Let it all go

Got you stuck on my body,

on my body like a tattoo.

- You can't use those sticks.

- Yeah, you can't use that.

We like to keep it

strictly oral.

Coming back to you

You can call me

any day or night

- Call me

- Call me

You're not on the same team.

I just figured out

what he reminds me of.

- Ronald McDonald.

- Separate teams!

- Call me

- Call me - Separate teams!

- Oh, love

- Love me harder

Oh, okay.

And if you really need me

You gotta, gotta,

gotta, gotta

Got to love me harder

Gotta love me harder

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Love me, love me, love me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Harder, harder, harder

- Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

- Ooh.

- If I were a boy

- What? What the.?

Even just for a day

AUBREY :

Beyonc's not Jewish.

Okay, you guys aren't even

in a group.

- What?

- I'd roll out of bed

In the morning and throw on

what I wanted and go

Hey, guys, still need

that level check for vocals.

- Okay.

- Hey, hey, hey, we're not done yet.

Oh, baby,

we're just getting started.

AUBREY :

Come on, we gotta do this.

We gotta think of something.

All right, next category.

"Zombie apocalypse."

Another head hangs lowly

Child is slowly taken

And the violence

caused such silence

Who are we mistaken?

With their tanks and

their bombs and their bombs

- And their guns

- They can't use the-the drums.

In your head, in your head

They are crying

In your head

- In your head

- That's a guitar, man.

Zombie, zombie

- Zombie-ie-ie.

- What doesn't kill you

Makes you stronger,

stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely

when I'm alone

- Th-They're singing together?

- What doesn't kill you

Makes a fighter,

footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over

'cause you're gone

I'd catch a grenade for you

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Throw my hand

on a blade for you

- Yeah, yeah, yeah

- Jump in front of

- A train for you.

- What are we gonna do?

We have to.

we have to do something.

- What?

- We have to do something.

I'd do anything for you
