Standing Ovation Page #6

- [man] Yes, sir.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah. Let's get some new cans

and try this again.

Listen, kids, you did great.

Remember, you're actresses,

so when you take a drink,

I want you to imagine it's like

chocolate chip ice cream.

You like ice cream, don't you?

- [together] Oh, yeah.

- Yeah. Okay.

Let's rock and roll.

Okay.

- [bell ringing]

- And background.

Roll the camera.

[man] Roll sound, roll camera.

[director] Sound speed.

And action.

This is it, this is gold

Drink it up, wow, it's cold

You got to shake and wake it

Pop the tab away

Shake it and wake it

Pop the tab away

Shake it and wake it

Yeah

Cut! Cut!

That was the most sickening

thing I've ever tasted.

I can still feel it in my mouth.

Sorry, Joei.

It's okay. They were

happy in the end.

Okay. Twenty minutes

until we're being picked up.

Why don't you two go

and get something to eat?

I gotta go around the corner

with Brittany.

- Give me. Give me. Give me.

- I'm starving.

Come on.

So, what if this guy we're

after is really a killer like

the other guy said?

You know how big a germ is?

So small you can barely see it.

But then, bam,

goes right up your nose.

That's what we are.

Two germs ready to strike

at anyone who gets in our way.

And, of course,

I have my bag of tricks.

- Nobody's here.

- Oh, he's here.

[Joei] Hello! Anybody here?

I already told you before.

That's not what happened.

Wait. Wait a minute.

Hold on a sec. What are

you kids doing here?

We don't open until 6:00 pm.

We're adults, anyway.

You gotta get out of here

Listen, Mr Benny.

We're not here to throw our

money away gambling.

We just want to

show you something.

Turn it over.

There's more on the back.

You know what,

I'll call you back.

- Who sent you kids?

- Doesn't matter who sent me.

It's the numbers

to the safe on the back

of that card that matters.

Seven numbers you gave to

someone who robbed my pop

out of his life savings.

And I wanna know

who the bum is.

What are you kids doing?

Wearing wires for the FBI?

It's her money, mister,

and you better do what she says.

- Or you're toast.

- [chuckles] I'm toast.

- Will you let me handle this?

- So you're old Batty's kid?

Yeah, and I'm proud of it.

Now you've got ten seconds

to give me the bum's name

or you'll wish you

were never born.

Is that so?

You know what, kid? You've got

guts and I like that.

But you're starting

to get on my nerves.

So it's time for you two

to get out of here

or I'll throw yous out.

Always happens.

No one ever listens.

Time's up, Benny.

[hissing]

[squeaking]

What the heck are you doing?

Getting rid of another rat

that ruined my family.

Wait a minute.

What are you, crazy?

Look, he didn't even tell me

his name, all right?

He gave me money,

I gave him the numbers

to the safe,

but that was it.

Now get this thing

out of here!

I think you need

to tell me more, Benny.

What? That's all

he said, all right?

Tell me more, Benny.

He told me to buy stock

in this company called Apex,

okay? Right?

Apex Industries?

- Yes.

- And did you buy any?

No. But I watched it go

through the roof of

the NASDAQ, okay?

Just get this out of here,

or I'll kill you!

Oh, my God.

You better watch. If I find out

you're not telling the truth...

- Yeah, yeah. Come on.

- [Joei] ...it'll end up

in your bed.

[Joei] Have a nice day, Benny.

[hissing]

[Benny] Goodbye!

[squeaking]

[Brittany] Do you think

that really could have

killed him?

No, it's old and its fangs

are removed.

That was crazy,

I almost had an attack

in there.

[puffing]

I'm one in a million

And I know you feel it

The confidence

And attitude that I have

So how was that?

It was okay. You should

do it again, though.

It just doesn't work

without guys.

It's like we're

saying it to no one.

I agree.

So you guys wanna

meet some boys?

[together]Yeah.

Okay.

Do you guys wanna

make a music video?

- No.

- Sure.

Do you guys know how to dance?

What kind of dance?

Like this.

You're mine

- What's that?

- That's not a dance.

- What?

- Guys don't dance like that.

- So how do they dance?

- Like this. Show 'em up, Dean.

Show 'em up, Dean.

I'm one in a million

And I know you feel it

The confidence

And attitude that I have

Looks good.

And you'll be mine in a

matter of time Matter of

time, matter of time

I'm one in a million

And I know you feel it

The confidence

And attitude that I have

I'm one in a million

And I know you feel it

You sounded good.

I thought it was great.

- Me, too.

- Yeah, I think you're a genius.

Well, I guess that's settled.

- So, what do we do now?

- Send it out

and keep our fingers crossed.

New York, here we come.

Are you sure it will

go out tomorrow?

They pick up at 10:00 am,

every morning.

So when do you think

we'll hear something?

They're going to announce

the selections next Friday.

- That's cool.

- I hope we win.

Hope we win.

- You bet.

- You better.

Did it work?

Never fails.

All right, let's do this.

I wanna make them squirm.

Squirm it is.

I'll make them throw up.

Two hundred thousand.

That's how much we

each get if we win.

Is that enough

to buy an airplane?

- Why do you want an airplane?

- All the stars have them.

I can't believe

you guys are eating.

Aren't you nervous?

I always eat when I'm nervous.

What's with the dot?

She's been chanting and

meditating for our success.

[girl] Is it true?

Is it really true?

- What happened?

- We got into the finals.

- Are you sure?

- We're going to New York.

Oh, my God.

We're going to New York!

We're going to New York!

Quick. Call your mom.

See if anyone called us.

- She just dropped us off.

- Call her anyway.

We're going to New York.

You're not.

Forget the call, geeks.

They posted the winners

and you didn't make it.

[chuckles]

[Brittany] We didn't make it.

That sucks.

What are you drinking?

I'll take a skinny water.

"Skinny water"?

I'll take two of those.

Oh, and a pepperoni.

Small or large?

- What do you think?

- Large.

[beeping]

Did you find

that guy in New York yet?

Not yet but I'm working on it.

Apex Industry was bought out

by a big company.

And that company was bought out

by an even bigger one.

But, like I said,

I'm working on it.

Do you think the guy

you've been looking for

is responsible for all that?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure of it.

Well, we got little miss big

mouth and her big shot manager.

- What do you got here, girl?

- Give me that back.

- Or what?

- Just give her the hat.

The little rat speaks.

What're you gonna do, fatso?

Kick my feet?

- Are you talking to me?

- Yeah.

I know you're not talking to me.

Because if you're talking to me,

which you're not,

I have a few friends

that wanna say hello.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What do you got in here?

You can bet

it ain't your mama, sucker.

[screaming]

[electric buzzing]

Get it off! Get it off!

Get it off!

Look at your feet.

- What is that?

- Electric eel.

[Brittany] They're getting away.
