Standing Ovation Page #2

tonight? Can you bounce?

Can you bounce?

Everything's all right

[sneezing]

[audience laughing]

[sneezing continues]

You're going to have

to give it up, girl.

That's the trouble

with bad people,

they make everyone around them

feel bad.

But they won by cheating

and that's the second time

they've done it.

It's not fair.

Well, who said life

is going to be fair?

Just because you want something,

that doesn't mean you're going

to get it.

So what about all the stuff

you used to tell us

about, "If you can believe it,

you can achieve it."

Do you still believe it?

I'm not sure the audience

even liked us today.

So maybe you have to practice

even more.

We already practice every day.

You've got to feel the music.

It's got to be in your blood.

Maybe you should just sing

all the time, like they do

in the opera.

You're crazy.

So let's try it.

What do you want for your

dinner? Pasta, pasta,

pancetta, pie?

Something sweet or

something rich or maybe

some delicious chocolate pie

Not good, they make you fat

They'll make your belly

bigger than mine

Make me happy, make me smile

Maybe I'll sing you

a lullaby

Look who decided to show up.

You did it again, my God.

Are you serious?

- Yeah, here's the old man.

See you later.

- See you later, man.

Did you win?

No.

I thought I told you

to stay away from those bums.

I was just coming home

from football practice.

I don't care where you're coming

from. It's where you're going

that matters.

And I don't want you

with those bums.

Can you understand that?

Yeah, I understand.

I'll just have to stop talking

to everyone I ever grew up with.

Am I going crazy here?

No. Football practice

was yesterday.

Dumb is dumb

and there ain't

nothing dumber.

That's what your daddy used

to tell him and I can see why.

[O'Brien] Dumb is dumber

and there ain't nothing dumber.

Turned off

the electric again.

I thought you paid

it last week.

I didn't have the money

to pay it last week.

I'll pay it in the morning.

You want me to get

you some dinner?

You go ahead without me.

I'm going to sleep.

What's the matter with him?

He's getting old.

He's not making as much

money as he used to.

He'll be back at Smiley's

if we don't keep an eye on him.

I saw the sun and felt a

chill

You're back in town

Looking scared

and beautiful

And asking if I'm around

Those demons you're running

from

Just leave them and head

for the sun

When the world

stopped turning

I kept it burning

Tonight our song begins

again

Another dance

for me and you

One more chance

to see it through

I could swear I'm not

missing...

That's pretty.

No, the lyrics aren't right.

They're too sad.

People like things

that are more positive.

And when was the last time

you bought a CD?

I don't have to buy one

to know what people like.

- You got any money?

- What do you think?

We don't have enough

to pay the rent.

Gramps gets paid tomorrow.

I already included that

and we still don't have enough.

So what do you want me to do

about it?

Nothing. You never do

anything anyway.

You're the one that's got

all the hidden money.

[sneezing]

Hey, you want some pepper?

Why don't you just take a long

walk off a short pier, jerk.

This is really getting

on my nerves.

Just ignore them.

They're just being stupid.

Did you guys hear

the news yet?

Now what?

CDS Television is having

a best music video contest

with the finalists singing on

national television for

one million dollars.

And the Wiggies have already

started rehearsing for it.

What? Let me see that.

- And it gets even worse.

- What?

Well, you have to make your own

music for the video and

you know whose music

the Wiggies are using?

- Whose?

- Mark's.

- My brother?

- They start rehearsals

here today.

What do you mean, here?

Mr Wiggs, he already

rented the gym

and a professional choreographer

from Los Angeles.

How can they

afford all of this?

Mr Wiggs owns the biggest wig

factory in America.

If the Wiggies win this

competition, I might just puke.

Two, three, four and five,

six, seven, eight and one.

Look at that boy dressed so

fine

Anyone can see, girl

What's on your mind

Go on and ask him his name

Time for you to get into

the game

You can't win if you

don't play, If you want him,

don't walk away

That boy is poetry in

motion

This is really sickening.

They must be paying him

a lot of money.

They're just feeding his ego

and he's too stupid to know it.

Hey, get back!

Giving me the notion

That my devotion will be

well received

Kept in his heart

Under lock and key

I pray that's the way

It will always be

How will I know if it's

real?

We have to make

our own video.

And how are we

going to do that?

I only know I know how I

feel

And what I feel is so real

I can't deny it no more

I can't fight it no more

That boy...

- Oh, my God!

- Is making me

realize

That these butterflies

Are here to stay

- That boy has got me

mesmerized

- That boy

Terrified he might walk way

- How will I know

if it's real?

- That boy

- That boy

- If I only know

I know how I feel

- That boy

- And what I feel is so real

Come here!

What are you doing?

What does it look

like I'm doing?

I'm practicing the dance

so I can join the group.

They need some talent like me.

That boy

Well, you're too small.

- I'll wear high heels.

- You're still too small.

You know how many little people

are in the world?

No. How many little people

are in the world?

Billions! If you hire me, you'll

be a hero to every one of them.

You know you're pretty good,

kid. What's your name?

Alanna Wannabe.

And I'm gonna be.

You're gonna be?

You know what you're gonna be?

You're gonna be out of here.

- You'll be sorry, mister!

- Get out of here!

[soft music playing]

Hey.

What's the matter?

You didn't wanna show them

where you really lived?

What's your problem?

I can't believe you

can be this dumb.

You're just jealous

like everyone else.

No, I'm just smart enough to

know when people are using me.

They're not using me.

I'm using them.

Yeah, right.

That girl just wrapped you

around her little finger

like that.

And when she's got

everything she wants,

she'll dump you

like a sack of garbage.

I don't care if she does.

At least I've got someone

listening to my music.

So, why don't you give me

one of your songs

and let me try

and make it famous?

I'm already exclusive.

And what does that mean?

That means I'm sticking with the

people who know how to win.

- How's it going, bro?

- What's going on, man?

How's the little sister?

I'm not your sister

and he ain't your bro.

Little miss chili pepper

strutting her stuff!

You gotta teach her

some manners, man.

Some manners.

God bless America

My home sweet home

God bless America

God bless America

God bless...

Keep up the good work, kid.

You're doing good.

Hey, mister! You took my $10.

You need to give it back.

What are you talking about?
