Taking 5 Page #4
Pete, you said
your brother had a van.
Yes, but then he had to help
his buddy move,
so he got us a replacement.
You are so lucky
Lincoln isn't here to see this.
This is a disaster.
Just pick one.
Leave him here.
- Pick one?
- Pick one?
Like it's nothing?
We've already missed Nikolai.
If we lose another one,
then they're barely even a band.
- They're barely a band anyway.
- Shut up!
Count out loud and tell everyone,
"The RMLF forever. "
One R... MLF.
Two RMLF.
Girls, come on.
...nine RMLF,
ten RMLF...
Dev, are you seeing this?
My parents leave town
and she throws a party.
Yeah, and she didn't even invite us.
Pete, pull up over there.
I can't believe someone
killed Madame Broussard
right under our nose.
with the girls.
I'm sure they're fine.
We should just call the cops,
have them kick everyone out.
I think we have
three kidnapped 5 Leo Rise members
in the back of Pete's car.
I don't think it's smart
to bring the law into this.
Good point.
We'll bring them in
through the side door.
How?
It's a party.
Who's going to notice?
Okay.
Hey, the chips are...
are over there.
Let's go hang out,
you know?
Whoa, are we at a rave?
If anyone makes a sound,
they're dead.
Hello?
Hey, cupcake, checking in.
How's everything?
Everything's great.
Staying out of trouble?
- Absolutely.
- There boys in the house?
- No.
- You see there?
You make fun of your old,
uncool dad,
but the oath... the oath works.
- What are you doing at my party?
- It's Dad, for you.
You bit...
Hi, Daddy.
So did you solve the case yet?
No, but the weekend
has just begun.
- Ritchie.
- Mason.
Yo, did you guys see Nikolai?
They didn't get Nikolai.
What? How do you know?
Don't smell him.
Nikolai has a smell.
What did they do with KK?
Dude, I think they took KK away.
What?
Oh, my God.
The RMLF killed KK.
- Pete, what are you doing?
- Having a chocolate strawberry.
Put it down.
- It's a party.
- Put it down!
Okay, what do we do now?
We leave them down there
for a while, get 'em good and scared.
When Lincoln gets back,
we can start the torture.
Great. And when
they're freaked out and scared,
Gabby and I will go down
and offer to save them
as long as they agree to play
for our school.
Right?
Yeah. Save them.
Excuse us for, like, two secs.
- You're totally spacing.
- What?
No, it's... okay, I sort of have
a confession to make.
You know how earlier
when I fainted?
Yeah.
It wasn't because I was scared.
It was because of Mason.
Oh, my God.
What did he do to you?
Nothing. Nothing, he just...
smiled.
I think I love him.
- No, you don't.
- Yes, I do.
No, you can't.
We agreed!
No crushing on the captives!
We hate them.
I do.
I do, I hate all of them.
Everyone except for Mason.
That's it.
Gabby Ann Davis,
you need to dig deep and get tough.
Remember, these guys
are the reason why we're outcasts.
Look, I can't do this
without you, okay?
Now, take it off.
Take him off.
Oh, that off.
- Bye-bye.
- Easy.
Stop it.
God.
Oh, my God, Lincoln.
Thank God you're okay.
Gabby, wake up.
It's Lincoln.
He's here.
Yeah, yeah. You know there's
no situation I can't handle.
But you guys just left me there.
What was that all about?
Thank God I had a little juice left
in my cell phone to call my mom,
who, by the way,
says you don't deserve me.
Oh, God.
Okay, I think we have something
that'll make it up to you.
We have three members
of 5 Leo Rise in the basement.
- Shut up.
- Seriously.
You guys messing with me?
I thought you said it was three of them.
- Yeah. There is.
- Isn't it great?
There's only one of them
down there.
- Funny.
- I'm serious.
There they go in the back.
Let's go get them.
What?
Scooter, faster, man! Come on!
Morning, Mrs. Knipplemeyer!
You're all looking so beautiful.
Morning, Mrs. Knipplemeyer!
Oh, good morning, children.
Those are such lovely...
You be nice to them now, you hear?
Yes, yes, yes.
Hey, Mrs. Knipplemeyer!
How you do?
- Hi.
- Hey.
Morning, Mrs. Knipplemeyer!
Oh, good morning, children.
I know their parents
must be so proud of them.
What's your name, girlie man?
Richard Treziak.
And you're what?
- I'm a total loser wuss.
- Yes, you are.
- Who needs his ass kicked.
- Yes, you do.
And what's your name?
Name's Steven Margiatta, sir!
Don't look at me!
But I go by Scooter,
and I'm a piece-of-crap mama's boy
who stole his name from a Muppet.
Pitiful.
And?
I need my ass kicked.
Yes, you do, especially
for wearing this frickin' mullet.
- What is that?
- It's a faux-hawk, sir.
What the hell is a faux-hawk?
- It's... it...
- Shut up!
What about you, mop top?
My name is Mason.
- I'm a long-haired hippie.
- Yeah.
And?
You can kick my ass?
Yes, I can.
You better say it like you mean it!
- You can kick my ass, man.
- Whatever.
- You getting this on tape?
- Yeah, getting all of it.
I cannot believe that
these jokers went AWOL again.
I just...
Thank God you guys are still here.
Where were you?
The band's been kidnapped.
At least the handcuffs
are a nice touch.
What?
These aren't mine.
Sure.
This group, the RMLF,
they grabbed us after the show.
Oh, no! You mean just like
the unannounced three-day weekend
you guys took
during the Mall of America signing?
It's not like that.
Then it must be like the Orlando
Scooter-is-dead prank.
It's real this time,
it's not a prank,
and they still have
the other three guys.
Can I tell you one thing?
Nikolai here
is starting to feel left out.
He wept all night.
- Liar.
- No, no. He did.
Wept in my arms like a newborn.
What is on your shirt?
It's wing sauce.
Scooter's.
- This is your fault.
- I'm feeling the guilt.
Go write a song or something!
See, the RMLF...
we hate fake musicians
like you guys.
If you were a real musician,
you could play this guitar.
Give me that!
Anybody could do that!
A one-armed midget could do that.
I know old ladies
that can play better than that.
- Erase the tape, Pete.
- Yeah.
Remember, Gabs,
Mason isn't Mason.
He's just some random guy
who thinks humiliating
girls with cancer is funny.
- You hate him.
- I... hate him.
Hey, freak show.
Listen, I'm going out,
so when I get back,
this place better be spotless.
This wasn't my party.
I'm not going to clean up your mess.
That's for crashing
my party last night.
Now, unless you want me to call
Mom and Dad
and tell them that you were the one
with the boys in the house,
you clean up.
Fine.
You hate him. Let's go.
Hate him.
Make it stop!
Ow! Save me!
Which one's next?
You've been at it all day.
It's our turn.
What are you guys about to do?
- We were just getting into it.
- Don't mess this up.
As long as you follow our demands,
you'll make it out alive.
What did you do to KK?
Do as we say and KK will be fine.
Otherwise our friends here
will tear you limb from limb.
No way. The crazy fans
from the signing?
