Standing Ovation Page #7

[whistles]

How are you doing, darling?

I have had better days.

That's what I hear.

Sit down.

I made some of your

grandmother's favorite

Irish stew.

Do you know Mark

is still seeing that girl?

That's what I hear.

She's going to eat him up and

spit him out into little pieces.

And it won't be

the last time, either.

He's got all the same

weaknesses your father had.

You think he was a weak person?

Well, he wasn't weak in a weak

way, if you know what I mean.

But he had a whole

bunch of bad habits

that were always going to get

him into trouble.

All I remember was

him holding me and being nice.

Do you remember

what he looked like?

Yeah, he was a looker.

I reckon that was the cause of

the problem. Your mother never

thought she could trust him.

They used to fight about that?

Like cats and dogs.

Fight got nasty, she called

the cops, they took him to jail.

When he walked out of that place

the next month, he just kept

on walking.

So, why did he leave

Mark and me?

He was that angry.

[phone rings]

- Hello?

- We won. We're in.

We're going to New York.

- What are you talking about?

- CDS just called Cam.

One of the six winners was

disqualified for lying about

their ages

and we're next on the list.

- We're in the semi-finals.

- Are you kidding?

No. I'm gonna call Blaze.

I'll call you back.

CDS just called.

We got into the finals.

We're going to New York.

Glory be!

Ta-da!

[car door shuts]

- Ta-da!

- What happened, baby doll?

- Ta-da!

- What?

We're going to New York!

We're going to New York!

Yeah! All right.

New York, New York, New York.

[horn blares]

semi- finals.

I had a dream

she gave us.

It's amazing how talented

these kids are, Alicia.

[Alicia] Yes, it is.

Four wheels beats two heels

Let's give these five talented

girls a big hand.

[cheering]

It looks good.

It should.

It cost a fortune.

And now, for our last

contestants of the evening,

a group of 12-year-olds calling

themselves the 5 Ovations.

[Alicia] Let's welcome

Brittany, Tatiana, Blaze,

Maya and Cameron,

performing "Scream."

[applause]

Wanna tell you a story

About boys and girls

Who is the best in this

world?

Girls are so pretty

Don't you know?

What's the matter?

- They stole my song.

- Are you kidding?

No, they changed the lyrics.

You should sue them.

My dad has a great lawyer.

Don't worry about it.

Paybacks are painful.

We're celebrating, yeah

What is that?

This is great. I never thought

the girls could be so funny.

It's not supposed to be funny.

[screaming]

This is disgusting.

It's the Wiggies.

Someone must have gotten

into your computer

and re-edited it.

I'm gonna be sick.

I'll go with you.

The Ovations, ladies and

gentlemen, and what a sense of

humor they have.

[Alicia] I'm surprised at

how much comedy

these kids have dreamed up.

[Dexter] Well, they certainly

were funny and the audience

seems to like it.

We'll be right back

after this commercial break

with the final results.

- You made it too funny.

- I thought it looked great.

That's the problem, you idiot.

It looked too good.

What are you guys talking about?

I re-cut their music video

and she's blaming me

for making it too funny.

- Are you serious?

- You should be happy.

- They stole your song.

- You guys have flipped

your wits.

- What's your problem?

- You're the problem.

I'm out of here.

Mark, don't do this.

It's just a stupid game.

That's all you guys do,
