See me, see me, I'm so hot
Look at me blushing, I
can't stop
Wow, I really need to chill
Get a grip on how I feel
I wanna get under your skin
And find out if I can make
you blush
Blush, blush, blush
Hands in your pocket
Back to the wall
You're never gonna fly
If you're afraid to fall
Bring it, bring it on down
Get it off the ground
Bring it to the world
Sing it to the world
The melody is free
I'm looking for some harmony
Come on, let's go!
Good luck to you, girls!
Remember you are the best!
Thank you, Mr O'Brien!
Sing it to the world
The melody is free
I'm looking for some harmony
Where have you been?
You're 15 minutes late.
Sorry, we had car trouble.
You're too young
to be driving.
Go, go, go.
Rings around the world
Bring it to the world
"A" you're amazing
"B" you're the best
"C" I told you, I told you
I knew the alphabet
- "D" is for dreams
- Sweet dreams
- "E" like on Earth
- My Earth
You know in my book
You always come first
- We don't need permission
- Late bell's
out of commission
Sign the petition
To light up the sky
Don't ask why
Just do it
Do it
[electric buzzing]
Beauty, beauty, beauty
That was weird.
What was that?
Nothing, nothing, nothing. Just
some kind of electrical problem.
Are you girls ready to kick
some...
Butt?
Do you have to be so crude,
Jeff? I'm trying to teach them
to be ladies.
[burping]
Sorry, mama.
Ladies? I'm not raising ladies.
I'm raising what?
- Superstars
- Superstars
- Superstars
- Superstars
Superstars
Okay, girls,
come on. Let's go.
You're up next.
Parents, you can't stay back
here. You've got to go back
to the theater now.
Let's go, girls, now let's
get out there and win,
win, win!
One for the keeper!
Break a leg, break a leg.
Nice outfits, girls.
Wow! Thank you, Mr Wiggs.
He was being
sarcastic, Cameron.
You girls have got
five minutes. Not six,
not five and a half. Five.
- Losers
- Losers
- Freaks
- Freaks
Yeah, well, at least
we can sing.
What did you say, geek?
- You heard me.
- You better watch
your mouth, girl.
Do you wanna do this or not?
Come on. No cat fights. Come!
[meowing]
- Come on, come on, in.
- What is their problem?
Their wigs are too tight.
They look like
a bunch of plastic dolls.
Let's just focus on what
we have to do here, you guys.
All I wanna do is sing
All I wanna do is dance
All I wanna do is sing
What do you think
you're doing here, Alanna?
We have to go on
in five minutes.
Last chance to win, guys.
Six is better than five.
And I already know all the
songs. Hello?
I already told you, we don't
need anyone else, Alanna.
And that's my song you're
singing and you even changed
the lyrics.
I made it better. You should be
happy I even want to sing it.
Would you just get out of here?
This is bad karma, guys.
You should be helping
an unwanted child succeed.
You'll be sorry about this.
And you'll be sorry
if you don't get out right now.
Let's go, Alanna. Come on.
So annoying.
You'll never win without me.
I'll put the kibosh on you.
You'll get warts on your face
and your hair will fall out.
Get out of here.
All right, you guys ready?
I'd like to welcome you all once
again to our little theater in
the town.
So happy to see all of you here
today.
Our next performers
are five lovely daughters...
Okay, get set.
You know who you are.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome the Wiggies.
[applause]
Hey, guys. I got my wig, I know
the song and I'm ready to go.
Get out of here, you idiot!
- What are you, crazy?
- No, I'm just ambitious.
Just go!
They're gonna regret this.
I speak with dead people.
And what do they say?
They complain a lot.
I see you around school
All the girls want you
Because you're so cool
Every time you walk my way
and say hi
I get hot and bothered
And I don't know why
Yeah, yeah
Shimmy, shimmy, I'm so hot
Look at me blushing,
I can't stop
Wow, I really need to chill
Get a grip on how I feel
I've got big plans for you
And I
'Cause I know
I'm feeling you
When I
Blush, blush, blush, blush
Every time you look at me
I'm smiling uncontrollably
I blush, blush,
blush, blush
You know how to get me hot
'Cause you really put me on
the spot
Really put me on the spot
What a feeling
What a feeling
I'll be back.
What are you doing?
I think I'm having
a panic attack.
- I feel faint.
- You're fine.
We haven't got time
for this, Cameron.
Oh, no. I can't feel my fingers.
I can't feel my lips and tongue.
How am I going to sing?
Okay, girls, you're up,
let's go.
That was five minutes already?
Doesn't matter.
Come on. Let's go!
- Come on.
- I just tore my dress.
What the heck is this stuff?
Chewing gum. Those Wiggies put
it there on purpose.
What am I gonna do?
I don't know, but the show has
to go on. Scoot.
Don't worry. I've got some
safety pins in my purse.
- We can fix this.
- Come on, quick, quick.
All the girls, all the girls
If you're with that
special guy
Then I know how you feel
inside
You are so adorable
You're giving my heart a rush
All I want is you, all I
want is you
Boy, you give me butterflies
Boy, you make my
temperature rise When I
look in your eyes I blush
Wait.
I Blush, I blush
- Nice going, girls.
- Thank you, Mr Gaines.
What a shame.
You know, you should try fixing
that with some bubble gum.
- Bubble gum
- Bubble gum
- Bubble gum
- Bubble gum
You know what to do.
They make me sick.
You just have to ignore
them. They're just trying
to distract us.
How about that, ladies and
gentlemen? Just does
my heart good.
To see such
talented children.
And as they always say,
the children are the future.
[Gaines] And just as we adults,
in the past were the children
of the future,
which is now the present,
our present children
are the future's future.
[laughter]
Yeah.
Our next performers
are a fantastic group
of feisty firecrackers.
Let's give
a big Gaines Theater welcome
to the 5 Ovations.
[applause]
Okay, here you go, guys.
Oh, thank you.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
Hey, guys! We're the 5 Ovations
and we are here to rock
your world.
Come on, girls,
let's show them what we got.
[whooping]
Can you bounce to the beat
tonight?
Can you bounce?
Can you bounce?
Everything's all right
Can you bounce, bounce,
bounce
Everything is gonna
be all right
The bass is bumping
In the club tonight
As the DJ plays my song
Everybody else will bounce
along
Can you bounce to the beat
tonight?
Can you bounce?
Can you bounce?
Everything's all right
Can you bounce, bounce,
bounce?
Can you bounce to the beat
tonight?
Can you bounce?
Can you bounce?
Everything's all right
Can you bounce, bounce,
bounce?
Sometimes you need to get
away
Take a break from the world
today
Have some fun to unwind
Just get out and have a
good time
[sneezing]
Nothing can bring me down
today
I'm gonna dance all my
troubles away
Can you bounce to the beat
tonight? Can you bounce?
Can you bounce?
Everything's all right
[sneezing]
[audience laughing]
[sneezing continues]
You're going to have
to give it up, girl.
That's the trouble
with bad people,
they make everyone around them
feel bad.
But they won by cheating
and that's the second time
they've done it.
It's not fair.
Well, who said life
is going to be fair?
Just because you want something,
that doesn't mean you're going
to get it.
So what about all the stuff
you used to tell us
about, "If you can believe it,
you can achieve it."
Do you still believe it?
I'm not sure the audience
even liked us today.
So maybe you have to practice
even more.
We already practice every day.
You've got to feel the music.
It's got to be in your blood.
Maybe you should just sing
all the time, like they do
in the opera.
You're crazy.
So let's try it.
What do you want for your
dinner? Pasta, pasta,
pancetta, pie?
Something sweet or
something rich or maybe
some delicious chocolate pie
Not good, they make you fat
They'll make your belly
bigger than mine
Make me happy, make me smile
Maybe I'll sing you
a lullaby
Look who decided to show up.
You did it again, my God.
Are you serious?
- Yeah, here's the old man.
See you later.
- See you later, man.
Did you win?
No.
I thought I told you
to stay away from those bums.
I was just coming home
from football practice.
I don't care where you're coming
from. It's where you're going
that matters.
And I don't want you
with those bums.
Can you understand that?
Yeah, I understand.
I'll just have to stop talking
to everyone I ever grew up with.
Am I going crazy here?
No. Football practice
was yesterday.
Dumb is dumb
and there ain't
nothing dumber.
That's what your daddy used
to tell him and I can see why.
[O'Brien] Dumb is dumber
and there ain't nothing dumber.
Turned off
the electric again.
I thought you paid
it last week.
I didn't have the money
to pay it last week.
I'll pay it in the morning.
You want me to get
you some dinner?
You go ahead without me.
I'm going to sleep.
What's the matter with him?
He's getting old.
He's not making as much
money as he used to.
He'll be back at Smiley's
if we don't keep an eye on him.
I saw the sun and felt a
chill
You're back in town
Looking scared
and beautiful
And asking if I'm around
Those demons you're running
from
Just leave them and head
for the sun
When the world
stopped turning
I kept it burning
Tonight our song begins
again
Another dance
for me and you
One more chance
to see it through
I could swear I'm not
missing...
That's pretty.
No, the lyrics aren't right.
They're too sad.
People like things
that are more positive.
And when was the last time
you bought a CD?
I don't have to buy one
to know what people like.
- You got any money?
- What do you think?
We don't have enough
to pay the rent.
Gramps gets paid tomorrow.
I already included that
and we still don't have enough.
So what do you want me to do
about it?
Nothing. You never do
anything anyway.
You're the one that's got
all the hidden money.
[sneezing]
Hey, you want some pepper?
Why don't you just take a long
walk off a short pier, jerk.
This is really getting
on my nerves.
Just ignore them.
They're just being stupid.
Did you guys hear
the news yet?
Now what?
CDS Television is having
a best music video contest
with the finalists singing on
national television for
one million dollars.
And the Wiggies have already
started rehearsing for it.
What? Let me see that.
- And it gets even worse.
- What?
Well, you have to make your own
music for the video and
you know whose music
the Wiggies are using?
- Whose?
- Mark's.
- My brother?
- They start rehearsals
here today.
What do you mean, here?
Mr Wiggs, he already
rented the gym
and a professional choreographer
from Los Angeles.
How can they
afford all of this?
Mr Wiggs owns the biggest wig
factory in America.
If the Wiggies win this
competition, I might just puke.
Two, three, four and five,
six, seven, eight and one.
Look at that boy dressed so
fine
Anyone can see, girl
What's on your mind
Go on and ask him his name
Time for you to get into
the game
You can't win if you
don't play, If you want him,
don't walk away
That boy is poetry in
motion
This is really sickening.
They must be paying him
a lot of money.
They're just feeding his ego
and he's too stupid to know it.
Hey, get back!
Giving me the notion
That my devotion will be
well received
Kept in his heart
Under lock and key
I pray that's the way
It will always be
How will I know if it's
real?
We have to make
our own video.
And how are we
going to do that?
I only know I know how I
feel
And what I feel is so real
I can't deny it no more
I can't fight it no more
That boy...
- Oh, my God!
- Is making me
realize
That these butterflies
Are here to stay
- That boy has got me
mesmerized
- That boy
Terrified he might walk way
- How will I know
if it's real?
- That boy
- That boy
- If I only know
I know how I feel
- That boy
- And what I feel is so real
Come here!
What are you doing?
What does it look
like I'm doing?
I'm practicing the dance
so I can join the group.
They need some talent like me.
That boy
Well, you're too small.
- I'll wear high heels.
- You're still too small.
You know how many little people
are in the world?
No. How many little people
are in the world?
Billions! If you hire me, you'll
be a hero to every one of them.
You know you're pretty good,
kid. What's your name?
Alanna Wannabe.
And I'm gonna be.
You're gonna be?
You know what you're gonna be?
You're gonna be out of here.
- You'll be sorry, mister!
- Get out of here!
[soft music playing]
Hey.
What's the matter?
You didn't wanna show them
where you really lived?
What's your problem?
I can't believe you
can be this dumb.
You're just jealous
like everyone else.
No, I'm just smart enough to
know when people are using me.
They're not using me.
I'm using them.
Yeah, right.
That girl just wrapped you
around her little finger
like that.
And when she's got
everything she wants,
she'll dump you
like a sack of garbage.
I don't care if she does.
At least I've got someone
listening to my music.
So, why don't you give me
one of your songs
and let me try
and make it famous?
I'm already exclusive.
And what does that mean?
That means I'm sticking with the
people who know how to win.
- How's it going, bro?
- What's going on, man?
How's the little sister?
I'm not your sister
and he ain't your bro.
Little miss chili pepper
strutting her stuff!
You gotta teach her
some manners, man.
Some manners.
God bless America
My home sweet home
God bless America
God bless America
God bless...
Keep up the good work, kid.
You're doing good.
Hey, mister! You took my $10.
You need to give it back.
What are you talking about?
You know exactly
what I'm talking about.
He took a $10 bill out of
my hat and put it in his
pocket right there.
You're out of your mind, kid.
I just gave you a dollar bill.
What are you trying
to pull here?
He took my money and I can
prove it. This happens to me
all the time.
I got the number from that bill
written down right here.
I didn't take your
stupid money, kid.
Yeah, you did.
I got a picture of your fat
little fingers taking it
right here.
What are you guys
trying to pull here?
You're a couple of scam artists?
What do I need their money for?
I just won 5 grand on
a big spin.
You know what? You two
are sick. I ought to run
you two out of here.
Yeah, you're guilty, mister,
and you know it.
- This is guilt money.
- You're scam artists.
So, how much dough did you get?
Sixty dollars.
- Here.
- No, I don't need your dough.
That was a nice trick you pulled
there with your phone.
You, too. Nice trick
with that little black book.
And if you're smart, you'll put
that on White Lace in 10th
at Belmont.
You know, she's gonna
be a long shot.
A horse race?
Yeah. This morning
I was having my cappuccino
and I heard Libby the Pipe
tell Skinny Joe about it.
The fix is in.
It's like money in the bank.
Yeah, right. I got a grandfather
who's bet his whole life away.
I'm not planning
on making it a family trait.
Well, it was just a thought.
You have a nice day.
Yeah, you, too. Hey!
Did you really have that picture
on your phone?
Did you really have those
numbers in your book?
- Happy birthday, Larry.
- God bless you, child.
How did you do?
Good enough.
Where's Gramps?
In his room.
I just checked.
He isn't there.
Well, I saw him go in there.
If you let him take that money,
I'll go crazy.
I can't believe it.
He took everything.
He told me he was
going to sleep.
I knew this would happen.
I just knew it.
Relax. Maybe he just went to get
some groceries or something.
You don't know where
he is right now.
You know what, Mark?
You're just lazy.
You don't care about
anyone but yourself.
[Mark] Whatever.
- [bell dinging]
- And there they go.
[indistinct chatter]
You can do it. Let's go.
That's it!
Hey, you can't come
in here, kid.
What are you doing, Grandpa?
This is it, baby. This is the
big one. I can feel it.
You take that kid out of here
right now, O'Brien.
She's gone.
I need that money back, Grandpa,
and I need you to give me
your paycheck, right now.
All right, here we go!
Stretch it out, baby!
Stretch it out!
It's all we have to pay the rent
and live on, Grandpa!
Don't you be worried
about money, darling.
We're going to be rich.
I'm doing this for you.
Come on, Jimmy,
time to make your move!
What's he doing?
Move those legs.
Show me the money,
show me the money!
He pulled it!
He pulled that horse.
How much did you lose? How much?
[O'Brien] It was a sure thing.
I knew it. I was on
a winning streak until
you broke it, honey.
You broke the rhythm, darling.
Hey, kid, you gotta get
out of here.
You shouldn't take money
from this man.
He's not in his right mind
and you know it.
Stop that now, darling!
It's enough of that.
I can't believe you did this,
Grandpa. What are we going
to do now?
All right, let's go.
Get your hands off me.
- [announcer] It's the 10th
and final race here at Belmont.
- I'm going.
The only long shot
in the race is the lone
filly White Lace at 50 to 1.
I wanna put 50 on
White Lace to win.
Kids can't bet
and you've already been
told to get out of here.
Make the bet, Grandpa.
You don't want to be betting
on that mare, darling.
She's only got three legs.
Just do what I tell you.
It's my money.
Okay, okay. You're as stubborn
as your mother.
You heard the girl.
50 on White Lace to win.
I'm not placing the bet
till she's out of here.
I'm out of here as soon as you
give him that ticket.
You heard the girl.
You're just doing this
to punish me, right?
I'm doing it because I believe.
[bell dinging]
[announcer] And they're off.
With Copperland
and the filly, White Lace...
Slim Jewel, Crosstown
and Sleepless lead the pace
with Crosstown
taking the lead.
At first furlong,
Sleepless moves ahead of
Slim Jewel.
At the back of the pack,
filly, White Lace
looking like a wallflower.
Moving up on the rail,
Copperland is coming to life.
Moving up to the leaders
but he is not alone.
The only filly in the race,
White Lace, is now making
a move on her own.
At ninth furlong,
it's Crosstown
that's still in charge,
followed by Slim Jewel
and Sleepless.
But here comes White Lace,
moving up on the outside,
looking strong.
Come on, sweet pea.
Do some magic.
[O'Brien] You can do this.
Come on, sweet pea.
Make my night.
Make my baby smile again.
It's White Lace!
[screaming joyfully]
Darling, darling!
We won, we won, we won!
- How much did we win?
- 2,500 big ones!
Wait! This is terrible!
I'm getting as bad as you are.
Wonderful! It runs in the
family. It boils in my blood.
- And guess what?
- What?
We can double it
on the next bet.
Oh, no.
You're not betting this money.
I'm going to use it to pay
the bills.
Oh, come on, darling,
have fun with it!
- I'll be right back.
- Where are you going?
To see a friend.
Well, don't lose the ticket.
- What are you doing here?
- Came to see the big winner.
You got any more tips?
Yeah, and lots of them.
All you gotta do is let me
manage you and the group.
We don't need a manager.
[scoffs] Didn't look that way
yesterday. You know
those Wiggies?
They made you look like a bunch
of clumsy fools on that stage.
So what would you have done?
Wouldn't even have happened
if I'd been in charge.
If I were there, they would have
been swimming with the fishes.
So how much would
we have to pay you?
You don't gotta pay me nothing.
You scratch my back,
I'll scratch yours.
All you gotta do
is help me find somebody.
What kind of somebody?
Somebody that stole $90,000
from my family 12 years ago.
That's a lot of money.
Yeah, you bet it is
and I'm gonna get it back.
Because the stress put my pops
six feet under.
So, what do you say?
You get us the gig
and we'll give you the job.
Now you're talking.
I'll be giving you a call later.
Name is Joei.
You have a nice night.
Yeah, you, too.
[dance music playing]
[man] Welcome to
the school charity jam
sponsored by the Wiggies.
Cameras flashing in front
of you
Beats, all the beats
Full swing for me
And I can't wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait
Get lost in the moment
It's time to escape,
escape, escape
I don't need a fantasy
When your dreams come true
Can you feel it?
It's calling you,
calling you
He's such a traitor.
How did they get
permission to film here?
Money.
- From what?
- From the dance floor
- From what?
- From the dance floor
- From what?
- From the dance floor
- From what?
- From the dance floor
Move, move, move
From where they calling
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.
Hey, what will it be?
Pizza or Chinese?
- Chinese.
- Chinese it is.
The big problem is I can't get
any background dancers.
And if we wanna win this thing,
we gotta hit it big.
What about your cousins?
They're both great dancers.
They're in Florida, Dad,
and I need them now.
Wait a minute.
I got a better idea.
- What?
- Big surprise!
Okay, listen up.
This is no fire drill.
You're working for me now.
Get in line!
You are the background dancers
and your job
is to make me look good.
Do you understand that?
[all] Ma'am, yes, ma'am!
So...
What are you doing?
We're not even performing yet.
I'm making the video
of the video being made.
Whatever. Just please
get back. Go.
If any of you guys think you
know how to dance, step forward.
Okay, well, let's see
what you got.
[Alanna] Okay, okay.
Let's not get carried away.
Remember, I'm the star here.
Let's do some stretching
before we start.
I don't want any of you guys
pulling muscles.
Come on, guys!
[all grunting]
Whatever! Just try
moving your hips.
[Alanna] Okay, forget that.
Apparently, you don't
have any hips. Just sway
your big bellies.
Come on, people!
I can't believe I have to do
this! Let's go!
I wanna see some good things.
You have a belly, use it!
Let's go, people!
Okay, I think we're ready.
Let's go, guys!
I've got the world on a
string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my
finger
What a world and what a
life
I'm in love
Eric, we're here!
Sorry, Eric. We had car trouble.
That's okay.
My brother's waiting inside.
Okay, good.
Say something.
So how's it going, Eric?
You're looking good.
Good, thank you.
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you
around?
Well, I'm gonna be as
faithful as that puppy
You know, I'll never
let you down
'Cause it grows stronger
Like a river flows
And it gets bigger, baby
And heaven knows
And it gets sweeter, baby
As it grows
Do I love you
My, oh, my
Yeah, river deep, mountain
high
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, I love you, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
Oh, baby
Oh, yeah
Do I love you
My, oh, my
River deep, mountain high
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, I love you, baby
Baby, baby, baby
[screaming]
See you later, suckers!
I just slipped
that in for fun.
I didn't think it was
going to be funny.
It's not supposed to be.
Well, maybe we could
make it into, like, a comedy
or something.
[Cameron] People like to laugh.
I don't wanna be laughed at.
Maybe we should do something
modern like something upbeat.
Sounds like a great idea to me.
We can't afford to do anything
else, you guys.
The Wiggies are already
on their third idea.
If it's not good enough,
then you've got to do
something better.
Like what?
Well, what do you like?
I don't know.
Okay, so what do you hate?
Boys.
I think I know
a song we could use.
Why don't you give it up, girls,
and come work for us?
We could use a few extras.
- Extras
- Nerds
- Losers
- Freaks
Friends of yours?
Yeah, right.
[clinking]
Okay, girls. Etiquette.
Remember all the wonderful
little things I've taught you
that make us better
than everybody else.
Soup to nuts
Mind your p's and q's
Sit up straight
Or you get no food
Eat your bread
Like the upper class do
With a knife and a fork
No crumbs on you
Girls, girls, listen to Dad
- Don't make him mad
- Don't make me sad
You're the best girls
That a dad ever had
We're the best girls
Any dad ever had
Soup to nuts
Mind your p's and q's
Sit up straight
Or you get no food
Eat your bread
Like the upper class do
With a knife and a fork
No crumbs on you
- If you gotta burp
- Keep it under your shirt
- Full of gas
- Get it over with fast
That's what civilized
people will do
A rite of passage
For the privileged few
Soup to nuts
Mind your p's and q's
Sit up straight
Or you'll get no food
Eat your bread
Like the upper class do
With a knife and a fork
No crumbs on you
[gurgling]
[Mrs Wiggs] What are you
looking at, Jeffrey?
I think my soup
is talking to me.
[croaking]
[screaming]
Daddy! Daddy! Get rid of it!
What is it? Get it out!
I'll get it.
Allow me.
Who are you?
Throw it away! Throw it!
Did you order this?
No. What are you
gonna do with it?
Take it back to the sewer unless
you want me to crush its head in
for getting so close
to your daughter.
- No! Get rid of it!
- It's okay. It's okay.
You're a lucky guy.
She loves you.
Joei Battalucci.
I'm the kids' new manager.
The kids? What kids?
"What kids?" The 5 Ovations,
new kids on the block.
What's going on?
Frog soup.
And let me tell you something.
If you do anything to impede
their progress, you're gonna
have to answer to me. Capisce?
Is that like a threat?
No. A promise.
No! Get away!
Dropped your good luck charm.
You'll be needing it.
Thank you.
- Losers
- Nerds
Freaks
[laughing]
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- I thought you
were great today.
- Not me.
[croaking]
Halictus. That's his Latin name.
- Sure you don't want any?
- Oh, no. I'm fine.
So, I found that guy in Philly.
- You mean, the snuffer guy?
- Yeah. We need to go
show him something.
I already got you doing a
commercial up there next week.
[Brittany] Tat and Blaze
can't go next week.
[Joei] So three will be fine.
[Brittany] What kind of
commercial is it?
[Joei] Not dancing, I can
tell you that.
[Brittany] Are you saying
we can't dance?
[Joei] Are you kidding? I've
seen stiffs with better moves.
[O'Brien] Are you sure
you don't want me
to come in with you?
No, I already met the people.
Don't worry. We'll be fine.
Call me when you finish.
I'm going to visit a friend.
- Good luck.
- Bye, Mr O'Brien.
OTB.
What's that?
Off- track betting.
Don't worry about it.
[Joei] I got plenty of dough
if we need it.
[bell rings]
Here we go. Here we go.
We are ready to do this.
Everybody ready?
Okay, you two, clear out.
Okay. This, this is the product.
This is what pays the bills.
This is the Big Kahuna.
When you hold it in your hand,
I want you to imagine
it's like gold in your fingers.
- Can you feel that?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Well,
is it okay if I imagine it
silver instead of gold?
[Cameron] I think it's prettier.
Yes. Yes, you can.
Okay. Roll camera.
[man] All right, here we go.
Picture's up.
- [bell ringing]
- Let's roll sound,
roll cameras.
Sound speed.
- Camera 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!
What are you guys doing?
You're supposed to look like
you like it.
- It doesn't taste good.
- What are you talking about?
- Yeah, it's really yucky.
- Is this the real product?
Yes, sir.
Give me that.
When you drink it,
you have to love it.
[burps]
- You sure this
is the product?
- [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.
[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.
[helicopter whirring]
[horn blares]
[siren wails]
[man] Welcome back to New York
for the Teen Music Video
semi- finals.
Our next contestant

performing "Dreams."
I had a dream
I'd like to be
The star of a show one day
And I have a dream
It's not far away
I'll be the one

Sometimes I get nervous
But I won't lose my focus
I want this more

Go after your dream
The dream
Oh, I know that your dream
It will come true

[applause]
- Hey, how's it going?
- Good.
How about that, ladies and
gentlemen? Is she adorable
or what?
[Dexter] Alanna Wannabe.
At least, that's the name
she gave us.
It's amazing how talented
these kids are, Alicia.
[Alicia] Yes, it is.
And next up are our fifth
contestants of the day,
the Wiggy Sisters
performing "Superstars."
[applause]
We ain't no ladies
We're superstars
We're sugar babies
Sweet like a candy bar
We never walk
We only ride
Four wheels beats two heels
We got our pride
All kidding aside
We're so high
The mountains look small
We can fly
No building's too tall
Gravity can't hold us down
We got the world spinning
around us
The Sun and the Moon bow
down to us
Down to us, down to us
Yeah
So clear the way
For the superstars
It's a lucky day
When you know who you are
It's okay to dress like us
Walk and talk and act like us
Can't look back when you're
all that
We're so high
The mountains look small
We can fly
No building's too tall
Gravity can't hold us down
We got the world
spinnin' around us
The Sun and the Moon bow
down to us
Yeah, yeah, yeah
S-U-P-E-R
S-U-P
You are
A superstar, a superstar,
a superstar
Yeah, yeah
We're so high
The mountains look small
We can fly
No building's too tall
Gravity can't hold us down
We got the world
spinnin' around us
The Sun and the Moon bow
down to us
[applause]
That was amazing!
What a great song!
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
Check it out, girl

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,
play games.
[audience laughing]
[coughing]
Are you okay?
It feels good to get it out.
You have a little something
on your chin.
I do?
Your hair, too.
I look like a sick Muppet.
They're announcing
the winners. Come on.
I don't wanna see
those idiots win.
People liked us.
Come on. We still got a chance.
Come on.
And the third finalist is...
The Wiggy Sisters.
I love you. I love you. I love
you. I love you.
My girls! My girls!
Yes! Yes!
So how does it feel
to be in the finals?
Amazing.
This is, like,
the best thing
in my life!
Incredible.
It's like a dream.
It's awesome.
Well, congratulations
to you all.
And the last finalist is...
The 5 Ovations.
[cheering]
We won. We won.
Tell me it's true.
Tell me it's true.
It's true.
- I can't believe this.
- Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
I think I'm gonna be sick again.
Come on.
[applause]
So, how does it feels
to be in the finals, girls?
It's fantastic.
Wow, wow, wow.
I actually feel sick.
- I'm blown away.
- Me, too.
So that's it, ladies and
gentlemen.
In just one week,
these four amazing acts
will be here on CDS TV
performing live for the grand
prize of $1 million.
So make sure you tune in.
Good night and God bless.
That's the dumbest thing
I've ever seen.
You were the best,
by far, baby.
The background dancers
were just too old.
They didn't look good.
Next year, honey.
We'll win for sure next year.
I'm not waiting until next year
and I'm not giving up.
Hey, you gotta get over it, kid.
They've already picked the
finalists and we need
to move on.
My name is Alanna Wannabe
and I'm still gonna be.
- You got that?
- I'm with you a 100%.
[soft music playing]
- Hey.
- How you doing?
Okay. I heard what
happened today.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. At least I left her.
And I'm sorry about your song
and changing the lyrics
and everything.
We shouldn't have done that.
No, it's cool.
- I thought it sounded
pretty good.
- You did?
[Mark] Not that good.
So, what are you doing
for the next show?
I don't know.
We need a new song.
Do you have anything
you'd be willing to give us?
I'd be nice to you
for a thousand years.
Well, I was working
on something for them.
But I'm not sure
it's right for you guys.
What do you mean "not sure"?
It's a big dance number with a
lot of intricate moves and...
We can do that.
It's beyond what you guys do.
So you have someone in mind?
Jasmine.
Jasmine?
[Arabian music playing]
She's really good.
Yeah.
And she has lots of friends
you could put in the dance
to make the show really great.
I'll see you tonight.
All right, I'll see you later,
baby. Kisses.
I love you.
I love you, too.
That was great, Jasmine.
And you, too, Spence.
And what do you do?
Anything you want.
I'm very flexible.
Care to join me?
Not today.
But you all get my vote.
- Me, too.
- And me.
So, you wanna join us?
Wait a minute.
You're gonna have
to talk to me
about that.
You know we don't want
another singer, Alanna.
Surprise, surprise.
Jasmine is my cousin.
My very favorite cousin.
And guess what?
I'm her personal manager.
And I also manage Spencer
and Victoria as well.
You gotta be kidding me.
Our mothers are sisters
and we love each other a lot.
Let's try and work this out,
okay? What do you guys need?
It's very simple. They join the
group and I come with them.
No way.
No way, no play.
You'll get them plus me
for the same price. What a deal!
You're becoming
really obnoxious, Alanna.
Are you sure we can't just do
this on our own?
We need a big dance number
and the Wiggies already have
seven new dancers.
- Is that true?
- Yes.
Let's just give her a chance.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
You know, you really are a smart
person and I'll tell you why.
Those Wiggies are planning
to put fleas into your clothes
before your next performance.
And I think you should get them
before they get you.
Splish, splash,
I was takin' a bath
Long about
a Saturday night, yeah
A rub dub, just...
Come on!
Thinkin' everythin' was
all right
- Good evening, Mayor.
- Good evening to you.
And your dress
is lovely, Dorothy.
Thank you, dear.
You don't look so bad yourself.
You remember my daughters,
Zoey and Ziggy?
[together] Good evening,
Mr Mayor.
There was a-splishin' and
a-splashin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin'
Rockin' and a-rollin', yeah,
yeah
Bing, bang, I saw
the whole gang
Dancin' on my living
room rug, yeah
- You see him?
- No.
Hey, I'm here.
Oh, my God.
You scared the heck out of me.
- How are you guys?
- Did you check the place out?
Go up the stairs,
down the long hallway,
third door on the left.
I'll see you later.
Look what you did,
you stupid fool.
I'm sorry.
Yeah
What are doing here?
Plumbing. My dad's
fixing the toilet.
Well, you better get back
in that toilet before
I have you arrested.
Splish, splash, I was
takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday
night, yeah
A rub dub, just relaxin' in
the tub
Thinkin' everythin' was
all right
There was a-splishin' and
a-splashin' Reelin' with
the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin'
Rockin' and a-rollin', yeah,
yeah
[Joei] Okay. Let's go.
[Joei] Get the first wig
and turn it over.
- What if they get on us?
- They're frozen.
It'll take you a couple minutes
before they warm up.
Well, I stepped out the tub
I put my feet on the floor
- Get down.
- ...opened the door
And then a-splish, splash
I jumped back in the bath
Well, how was I to know
There was a party goin' on?
There was a-splishin' and
a-splashin'
Get the rest.
Ladies and gentlemen,
America's number one wig maker

dancing daughters.

but I can sing
And, girl, I got a thing

I'm not a Backstreet Boy or
'NSync, I'm not a Jonas Brother

Doesn't look like
they're gonna make it.
How terrible. They must have
broken a fan belt or something.
Oh, my God. Look at that.
We're gonna be late. Come on.
Come on, we're gonna be late.
Come on.
And we're all
one big family
But it's deeper still
So unbelievably free

I know it's gonna rain
With a shower
Let it rain down
Let it rain down
Heaven knows

It's starting.
Goodbye. Goodbye.

I hope you win.

Yeah
Heaven knows
With the power
With the power of love
The Minarettes, ladies and
gentlemen. What an inspiring
group they are.
[Alicia] And we'll be right back
with our next finalists
after this commercial break.
Howdy, folks. I heard you had a
little car trouble.
We're doing just fine. Thanks.
Yeah, well, guess what?
You're not gonna be doing fine
after tonight, when my girls
whoop your girls.
Well, I sure hope you got
something to settle that stomach
because you're gonna be eating
those words.
Well, guess what? I love to eat.
[indistinct chatter]
All right. Wait here.
You girls ready
for the big disappointment?
Hey, guys.
Did you guys hear a voice?
I think it came from those
peanut dummies over there.
But don't forget,
we're superstars.
- All right, girls, you're up.
- Just watch
and learn, leprechauns.
Let's just focus
on what we have to do, you guys.

And remember most of them
aren't even teenagers yet.
So, hold on to your hats,
ladies and gentlemen.
We'll be right back with the
winners of $1 million
right after this
commercial break.
So, who is he?
What's his name?
Kenny Rich. He's upstairs.
Upstairs where?
Upstairs in this building.
He owns the network.
- CDS?
- Yeah.
You've gotta be kidding.
Look, I can't do this on my own.
I need you to go with me.
Come on. They're waiting for us.
Okay. Meet me in the dressing
room when this is over.
Okay. So this is
the big moment, folks.

And the fourth place
winner is...
The Minarettes.
[cheering]
The third place winners
will receive $50,000

Only two groups.

So the next name I call
is the grand prize winner
for this year's competition.
[uplifting music playing]
The grand prize winner is...
The...
Ovations.
[loud cheering]
What?
Is that...
That's my daughters.
Thank you.
Let me just finish that board
meeting in 15, okay?
Those kids are gonna be stars.
Get them into the prime-time
line-up now.
Yes, sir, Mr Rich.
[phone ringing]
Okay. It's at the end
of the hallway.
Are you sure you wanna do this?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Let's just get it over with.
Okay.
So are we gonna use any snakes
or scorpions this time?
No, he's too smart for that.
I think we should just
tell him what we know
and give him a chance
to do the right thing.
And you think he'll do that?
I don't know.
- Hi.
- Hello.
We need to see Mr Rich, please.
I'm sorry.
Mr Rich is a very busy man.
He doesn't see anyone
without an appointment.
Well, maybe you can
just tell him it's something
very important.
Send them in to the board room.
I guess he'll see you now.
- It's the first door
on the left.
- Thank you.
Come in, kids.
Grab a seat.
- Who are you?
- Joei.
She's my manager.
Manager.
Well, would you like
some coffee?
No.
So who sent you here?
Nobody sent us.
Really?
So what do you want?
A loan or something?
No.
I got it. You wanna re-negotiate
our contract.
We just wanna ask you
a few questions.
Fire away.
- You're a very rich man, right?
- Very.
And you made all that money
by being smart, right?
Cut to the chase, kid.
You tell him.
Okay. In 1996, you stole money
from a safe in Philadelphia.
Then you used that money
to become a very rich man.
And because of what
you've done...
That's incredible.
- Who told you this story?
- It doesn't matter who told us.
What matters is that you pay
back the money that you took.
And help take care of people
whose lives you ruined.
Or what? You're just
gonna go to the police?
No.
Well, you can't
go to the press.
I own the press.
You don't own it all.
I think you should just do it
because it's the right thing
to do.
Who told you this?
Because everybody that knows
this is dead.
Listen, I'm Joei Battalucci
and that was my pop's money
you stole.
Now give it back
or you're in trouble.
This is insane. This is too
good. Holy hallelujah!
Oh, my God. This is great.
I'm being threatened by kids.
This isn't funny, Mr Rich.
Hell no, it's not.
And I'll tell you why.
Because that money
that was in the safe,
your pop stole it from the
government. Tax money.
Why are you being so mean?
You think this is mean?
I'll show you mean if you don't
get out of here right now.
I'm not leaving here until you
give her that money back.
You crazy kid.
I can cancel your record deal.
I don't care
about your record contract.
And keep your money.
I don't care about
your money either.
You wanna go back to whatever
dump you came from with nothing?
It's better than working
for a creep like you.
Dumb is dumb
and there ain't
nothing dumber.
What did you just say?
Dumb is dumb
and there ain't
nothing dumber.
I said you're dumb, kid,
now get out of here.
You said, "Dumb is dumb
and there ain't nothing dumber."
What? What are you looking at?
I can't believe you did this.
You knew all along, didn't you?
What?
You know exactly what.
You just used me.
- Brittany.
- What the heck is this about?
She's your kid
and she just realized it.
That would make anyone sick.
My kid? Hey.
Brittany. Wait.
- [Joei] Brittany.
- Oh, God.
Brittany, wait. I'm sorry.
I thought I'd get my money back
and you'd get your dad.
Well, it didn't work out that
way, so just leave me alone.
I don't wanna see you anymore.
[breathing heavily]
[coughing]
[Brittany] What are you doing?
I can't breathe.
What are you looking for?
[puffing]
- You'll be okay.
- I don't think so.
It's not your fault, Joei. It's
his. Don't worry about it.
You're still my friend.
Thanks.
You know, I got some
mean electric eels.
Throw them in his bath tub.
Light him up like
a Christmas tree.
I like that idea.
- Let's get out of here.
- Okay.
Sorry I made such a mess.
No problem.
Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello! Hello!
Hello! Hello! Hello!
[knocking at door]
Is anyone gonna get that?
[knocking continues]
Brittany, come down!
We wanna show you something!
[girls] Brittany, get down here!
Get down!
Come on, Brittany,
come on. Get down here!
Come on, Brittany!
Brittany, come on.
Brittany! Come on!
Who did this?
It's not even Christmas.
It's your dad. He bought gifts
for the whole neighborhood.
Maybe there's stuff for us.
[woman] No, honey, that's not.
Can you believe this, kid?
Your old man came back
and made amends.
And I thought it was about time
we get the family back together.
And you think
you could just walk in here
and make that happen
just like that?
Yes, I do. And you know why?
Because blood is thicker
than water.
Well, I wouldn't bet on it.
Come on. Come on, smile a
little. Smile for me.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be
gone this long.
I love you. And I'm sorry
I did this to you.
Will you forgive me?
I'll think about it.
- She's tough, Dad.
- Tell me about it.
Of course, she's tough.
She's my kid.
And what about all the other
people you've hurt.
What about Joei and her family?
I took care of them.
I bought them a house
and gave them enough money
to retire on.
Is this true?
- It's true.
- So, why isn't Joei here?
She's gonna be at the party.
Party? What party?
They're having a party
for everyone in the contest.
Even the Wiggies are coming.
Come on, y'all, you ready?
We're gonna have a party
Here we go, y'all
Look out now
Turn it up
I wanna hear it
Keep the music going all
night long
He's a keeper.
You must be the missing dad.
Yes, I am.
Alanna Wannabe, of course,
that's my stage name.
I'm gonna have to change it
now that I made it big.
Well, pleasure to meet you,
Miss Alanna.
- I understand you
own a network.
- Yeah, that's right.
Well, if you wanna improve
your ratings, hello.
Well, I...
What are you doing, Alanna?
Oh, nothing, Just saying hi
to this wonderful dad of yours.
Give me a call. We'll do lunch.
A little entrepreneur,
this Alanna Wannabe.
Happy?
I'm working on it.
What do you want me to do?
Buy you a house?
No.
Okay. Whatever you want.
Just name it.
Come on. Pick one thing
and I'll make it come true.
I want you to bring back
my mother.
Oh, my God.
Honey, I wish
I could do that.
I will not let you down,
like I let her down. Okay?
Just... My little baby.
Turn it up

All I wanna do is sing
Nobody ever knows
All I wanna do is sing
When everybody is near
Nobody ever knows
Doesn't matter where I am
And I don't care if no
one's listening
When my heart says to let
it show It's time to let
it go
All I want to do is sing
Nobody ever knows
All I want to do is sing
When everybody hears me
All I want to do is sing
Nobody ever knows
All I want to do is sing
When everybody hears me
Yeah
Listening
Let it show
