Superstar Page #4

- Thank you. I know.

- Mary started the whole thing.

Thank you.

I know.

Hold on a second. I've been through

a trauma and I need a moment.

[ Vomiting, Toilet Flushing]

And now Father Ritley

is letting her audition.

That is the last time

I try to help someone.

She is so going to regret this.

- [ Phone Beeps ]

- I gotta go. That's probably Sky.

- Bye, Evian.

- Hi, Sky.

Do you miss me as much

as I miss you so much ?

Evian, I saw what

you did to Mary today.

Not too ladylike.

I think we need to talk.

- Is something wrong ?

- Look, I can't talk right now.

- But you just called me.

- Look, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Meet me at the gym.

Bye.

[ Line Clicks, Dial Tone ]

Hmm.

[Man]

...throughout the New England area.

They've been hit hard this winter,

but the South remains warm.

Grandma, why did you tell

Father Ritley that I was a star ?

I was just talking.

Because that's--

that's what I wanna be.

- I really want to audition.

- You want to be a businesswoman.

That's what you want.

Don't you understand ?

This is everything

I've ever wanted.

This is everything

I've ever hoped for.

I just want my life to begin.

Dreams can come true, you know.

And when Johnny comes back from

the war, we can start a family...

and begin our life

together on the farm.

Mary !

Could I please, please,

please, please audition ?

- No.

- Please ?

No.

You're horrible !

You're horrible !

You're horrible !

- You're horrible !

- [DoorSlams]

You're horrible !

Horrible !

- Mary.

- Leave me alone !

I didn't want to do this.

But it's time I told you

how your parents died.

What does that have to do

with the talent contest ?

Everything.

I thought you said that Mom and

Dad were savagely ripped apart...

and eaten by a school

of hammerhead sharks.

I just told you that

to make you feel better.

What I'm about to tell you now

is the truth, so help me God.

- [ThunderCrashes]

- Seventeen years ago,

your parents entered...

the Besamee Heights

annual stepdancing competition.

You mean, stepdancing

like in Riverdance ?

That's nothing to what

your parents could do.

My mother taught it to me.

I taught it to your mom.

But so help me, Mary,

you will never stepdance...

as long as I walk this--

wheel around the earth.

The year you were born,

the stepdancing competition

was fierce.

A couple named O'Shea...

looked like they'd be the first

to beat your mom and dad.

But your mother was determined

to keep her title,

no matter what it took.

It began well enough.

Your parents ate up that stage.

Just when it looked as though your

parents would be triumphant again,

the unthinkable happened.

Fat Teddy McGinty's belly

struck the record player,

accidentally

turning up the speed.

The dancers began stepping quicker

and quicker, trying to keep up.

And that's when your mother fell.

And she took your dad

down with her.

And before the dancers

could stop themselves,

they stomped your parents to death.

Oh, Mary, I know

you want to perorm,

but when you're a businesswoman,

you'll be sitting

behind a desk all day, safe.

- [ Whistle Blows ]

- Rotate!

Oh, is that all you got ?

Come on !

- Sky and Evian are breaking up.

- Oh, my God !

Sky and Evian are gonna break up.

Sky's gonna break up with Evian.

Come on !

[Evian Chattering]

Here he comes.

Hi, Sky. What did you

wanna talk to me about ?

I think it would work

for me if we broke up.

I-I-I don't understand.

This is such a shock. What's wrong ?

Now you're giving me attitude.

Just tell me

what I did wrong.

Listen, we talked

about this last night...

till I was blue in the face.

We're just growing

in different directions.

I mean, you're this way

and I'm-- I'm that way.

You're here.

I'm there.

And there's no one right in here.

So it's over.

Just like that. It's over.

- You're telling me that it's over.

- I guess so.

- Hey, Bartholomew, nice name.

- [ Screaming ]

[ Screaming Continues ]

- [ Gasping ]

-Just breathe.

- [Mary] Poor Evian.

- [Helen] Lucky you.

Sky's a single slice

of beefcake now.

And he's on the rebound.

It's, like, so obvious that you two

are gonna hook up.

You really think so ?

Remember,

he said you have nice moves.

That means he was

looking at your body,

which means

he thinks you're doable.

So basically,

he asked you to sleep with him.

My goodness. This relationship

is moving too fast.

Go talk to him before

somebody else dates him.

- Go. Go. Go.

- I don't know.

Go !

Excuse me.

- Hey, Mary.

- Hey, what's up ? What's up ?

Um, Sky, I know...

that you haven't been s-single

for a long time...

or anything like that,

but I was wondering...

if-- if--

- [ Growling ]

- Oh, God, you smell so good.

Oh, no !

- Sorry.

- It's gonna be okay.

Now you have

to audition for the show.

'Cause that way Sky

could see how talented you are,

and he will definitely kiss you.

Really ?

You think so ?

- Totally.

- Wow.

[Mary]

Sky, promise me,

after you destroy the meteor

that's headed towards Earth,

you'll come back and kiss me.

I promise, babe.

All my bags are packed

I'm ready to go

"l'm standing here"

Outside your door

I hate to wake you up

to say good-bye

-"[Humming]

- I don't know how to tell you this.

-But I just want you to know that...

- [ Humming Continues ]

I'm really going--

Can you shut the hell up !

I'm trying to talk !

- You gotta go.

- No.

- You have to get off me.

- No !

- Mary, please get off.

- No !

- Get the hell off me !

- No ! I wanna stay !

Get off !

There's a meteor coming !

No !

Mary, did you rewind the tape ?

The customer's waiting.

- Oh, yeah. Sorry.

- Come on. It's two-dollar Tuesday.

"[Piano]

- [ Clears Throat ]

- Evian.

Good to see you.

Out walking for scoliosis again ?

Oh, no, Mrs. Corrigan.

I just came by to give Sky this.

- Is he home ?

- Yes, he's just--

Actually, can you wait a moment ?

No, definitely not.

No way.

I'm sorry.

Sky's not home.

Oh. Okay.

Then could you tell him if he

wants to talk to give me a call ?

Don't wanna talk.

Go away.

Okay, I'll tell him if I see him.

Nice knowing you.

Oh, but wait. I'm still gonna

see you around, aren't I ?

Oh. Now you're

giving me attitude ?

I'm not giving you attitude.

Just tell me what I did wrong.

What are you going to do,

hit me too ?

Hey, Evian,

I made up a new dance move.

It's called The Move On

With Your Life. Ha !

I did The Fax Machine for you !

[ Screams ]

Mary Katherine Gallagher...

must die.

No, I do like you.

But it's too soon.

You just broke up with her.

We can't.

Stop making me laugh.

[ Moaning ]

[ Engine Rewing ]

[ Gasps ]

Oh, dear God,

please make this crazy kid go away.

Go away.

Go away. Go away.

Dear God, please make

this crazy kid go away.

[ Engine Rewing ]

What do you want from me ?

My journal.

Thanks.

A flower.

Thanks.

[Whooshing]

Thank you, Thomas,

for that tribute to Star Wars.

- [Scattered Applause]

- Very, uh, astounding.
