Standing Ovation Page #4

From the dance floor

Your turn is up, your turn

is up Your turn is up

From where they calling

From the dance floor

Your turn is up, your turn

is up Your turn is up

Guys, what are you doing?

Get out of here.

Did you see what they did?

Let's just forget

about it, you guys.

Besides we need to move on

to something more positive.

Like what?

Eric Bateman.

Eric Bateman?

His dad owns a recording studio

where they have

all kinds of equipment.

Like cameras that we can use

to make our own music video.

And how did you know that?

He likes Cameron

so he talks to me all the time.

I cannot stand Eric Bateman.

He's so weird.

So you like the Wiggies better?

All you have to do

is be nice to him.

Not in a thousand years.

He's not a bad person, Cam.

In fact, he's really smart

and he could probably help you

with your homework.

That's a very good point.

Nice try, guys,

but that is not

going to happen.

No matter what you say

and that's final.

Okay, so I'll do it.

If we're going to make

this happen, we're all gonna

have to make sacrifices.

I'll be right back.

Well, you better not tell him

I like him or anything.

So, how's it going, Eric?

Good.

I was just talking

with Cameron

and she said maybe you

could be able to help us

make a music video.

What kind of music video?

Like, you know, the one they're

making over there.

[Eric] And what would I do?

See, you would be the editor

and the director

and of course, the camera man.

But we would need to

use your dad's studio

to record our songs.

How are you going to pay for

that? My dad charges

a lot of money.

Well, I was sort of hoping

we could do it after hours,

you know,

when there's no one around.

You mean without

telling anyone?

Just me, you and Cameron.

And this was Cameron's idea?

Came up with the whole thing.

Then why didn't she come here

and tell me herself?

Because she's too shy

and you know how that is.

So, you're gonna help us?

Because we really need you.

Okay, but you're gonna

have to use my brother

for the recording.

He's the only one

who knows how to do it.

Okay. You made the right

decision. We're gonna

make you famous.

My God! She did it!

I'm an addict

I'm at recording habits

You would do it too if you

had it

It gives me purpose

The reason why

I keep working

We are recording,

Saturday night.

Yes!

[phone rings]

- Hello?

- [Joei] Brittany?

Yeah, who's this?

- It's Joei.

- Who?

Your manager.

Oh! It's the agent.

[Joei] Listen, I got a job

for you tomorrow

at 3:
00 to 5:00.

And your grandfather will

have to take us there. Can you

do that?

If there's enough money.

How much are they paying?

- 200.

- $200?

No, 200 pennies.

Stupid!

Well, if it's a real show, we'll

probably need some dancers.

Dancers?

Yeah. And they'll need to make

at least $25 each.

Can you arrange that?

Done.

I'll text you the address.

Okay. See you then. Bye, Joei.

We got a job!

[all] Yes!

The music, the music, the

music is dropping you

[woman] Okay, ladies,

let's give a big hand for

this week's guests,

the 5 Ovations.

[snoring]

[Brittany] Hey, listen up!

If you want a groove

Better make your move

When you hear that beat

Gotta move your feet

No time to chill

You better take that pill

'Cause there ain't no way

You'll be sitting still

Burn it up with those crazy

feet, the beat won't let

you down

Keep it cool when you feel

the heat and get down,

get down

Jump it up with those

crazy feet

Never hitting the ground

Feel it when you dance

Dance, dance, dance

Come on!

Go, baby!

You got it!

Let's see you dance!

You got it!

Go ahead, girl!

If you want a groove

You better make your move

When you hear that beat

Gotta move your feet

Just hear that rhythm now

Dance, dance, dance, dance

[applause]

Thank you, thank you very much.

You're very kind.

Now for something

everyone can dance to.

This is a song

Tatiana wrote herself.

All I wanna do is sing

Nobody ever knows

All I wanna do is sing

When everybody hears me

Sorry about that, folks.

Unfortunately, everybody wants

to be a star.

Now here's the real Tatiana!

Sitting in my room

Writing my new song

The music is right

But my lyrics are wrong

You're driving us crazy, Alanna.

Is there a problem here?

What are you?

Some type of a tough guy?

Just get of here

before I slap you so hard

your mother will feel it.

Remember that deal we made

about you helping me find

that missing person?

Yeah, is he here?

No. But someone who knows

how to find him is.

- Who is it?

- He's in the boiler room.

We need to go and show

him something.

- Are you ready?

- Sure.

- What are we gonna show him?

- Mugshot.

It belongs to an old friend of

his involved in stealing my

pop's money.

What if he doesn't

wanna help us?

Don't worry about that.

He'll be singing like a canary

by the time I get done with him.

Here, put this

in your cheek

and look tough.

I need you to

watch my back here.

- What is it?

- Licorice.

It's like tobacco. Just spit it

when you feel like it.

[door opens]

[door shuts]

[Brittany] This is creepy.

Just stay close to me.

- Smells bad, too.

- You can always smell a rat.

[growling]

I got this. Don't worry.

Get out of here, you idiot!

[whimpers]

How does it feel

to be a chihuahua, tough guy?

Suck on this.

Hey! What did you do to him?

You know how much money

that dog is worth?

Same thing I'm gonna do to you

if you don't spill the beans.

What beans?

What are you talking about?

Do you recognize this guy?

- Benny Brains.

- Yeah, Benny Brains.

I need to know where he is.

Right now!

Who are you guys?

We're your worst nightmare if

you don't answer the question.

Yeah.

[clanging]

I'll be dead if I do.

You'll be dead if you don't.

And it will be a lot faster with

me because I'm right here.

What is that stuff?

- Streptococcus agalactiae.

- [whimpers]

It kills anything living in

ten seconds unless you

get the antidote.

Right, poodle face?

[whimpers]

- Now spill it or die!

- Wait! Wait a minute.

He changed his name

to Sally Burns and moved

to Philly

after he got out

of Sing Sing.

That's all I know.

Philly? What's he doing there?

I don't know.

I haven't seen

him in 10 years.

All's I know is

he's out there

waiting to snuff anybody

who comes after him.

[clanging]

So I won't pay him your regards.

You should take a bath, you

smell like low tide. Let's go.

- [Brittany] Can that stuff

really kill you?

- [Joei] Just the price.

Perfume number five.

Dogs hate it. Right?

[whimpers]

- Yeah

- Listening

Let it show

Hey, beautiful. Sorry I'm late.

The snow caught everybody

by surprise.

How did you do?

Not my best day.

Nobody wants me.

- What are you talking about?

- Nobody wants to sing with me.

That's ridiculous.

You're the best singer

out of the whole group.

They're just being mean.

Yeah, well, I'll cry

about that later.

Right now, we're gonna have to

make our own music video.

Sounds good to me.
