Austin and Ally s03e19 Episode Script

Beauties & Bullies

Um Dez? What are you doing? Trying out for the school play tomorrow.
I'm auditioning for the role of Blacksmith.
Last time I checked, there was no Blacksmith in "sleeping beauty.
" Aww! I guess I ruined this trumpet for nothing.
I'm trying out too.
I'm gonna be playing prince carmine.
Hey, sleeping beauty! Don't make me kiss you! Oh! Austin, it's not prince Carmine.
It's prince charming.
I knew that.
I'm auditioning for the role of sleeping beauty.
Well, you're not gonna get it, 'cause I'm trying out too.
Ooh, two best friends going after the same role and only one can get the part It's not a big deal.
Whoever's better will get the part.
- Hm-hmm.
- No hard feelings.
But it's gonna be me.
- Oh ho ho ho! - Snap! I don't think so.
Please, I know my lines backwards and forwards.
"I am sleeping beauty and that is my castle.
Castle my is that and beauty sleeping am I.
" I am not impressed.
Impressed not am I.
Now, let me show you how a pro does it.
This is how you play sleeping beauty.
I think she's actually sleeping.
Wow, she's good.
Real good.
Thanks for auditioning for sleeping beauty, everyone.
Great hustle out there today.
Unfortunately, you can't all make the team.
So, playing the role of prince charming is Dez.
- What? - Oh man! I wanted to be the Blacksmith.
But what about me? Moon, you're gonna be townsfolk #2.
# 2?! You'd think I'd at least be townsfolk #1.
No, townsfolk #1 is Ally Dawson.
What? Um But I auditioned for sleeping beauty.
Yes, you did, and you'll make a great townsfolk.
The role of sleeping beauty goes to Trish de la Rosa.
Oh, yes! I've never seen anyone sleep with such authority and passion! It's just sleeping.
A baby could do it.
And here's a list of who's playing what.
I'm gonna be the narrator.
- Huh?! - What? I'm gonna be the narrator.
You're gonna be the narrator?! I wanted to be sleeping beauty, but I'm gonna be a wicked witch.
I'm furious about it! You'll be great, Trish.
When I saw you up there sleeping, I just knew there was no way I was gonna get the role.
- Oh, thanks, Margo.
- Hm-hmm.
Okay, you can stop hugging me now.
Sorry, I'm just so happy for you.
Thank you.
This stinks.
I didn't even get a name, just townsfolk #1.
Why not "Julie who lives in the town"? Well, it could be worse.
We could be playing one of the trees.
Guys, I'm playing one of the trees! That's great, babe.
That's what you wanted.
Oh, sleeping beauty, I shall now awaken you from your slumber with a kiss.
Okay! That's enough rehearsal for now.
I'm sorry.
Did I mess that up? No, babe, you were great.
Best tree ever! Are you sure? I can't decide between an oak tree Or a pine tree.
Hmm, can you do an elm tree? I think.
That's the one.
Ahh, you decided to go with elm tree.
Good choice.
Maybe we should go over our lines again, Austin.
You mean our line? We only have one line each and you've already made me rehearse it for like three hours.
And you haven't done it right yet.
Try it with prince charming.
Fine.
Dez? Excuse me, townsfolk, do you know where I can find Sleeping beauty? She's in that castle Over yonder.
That's not how you're gonna do it, is it? It's just two words.
There's only so many ways you can say it.
Over yonder.
Over yonder.
Over yonder.
And all of those are wrong.
Hey, check it out.
They have a website for the play.
A bunch of people have comments.
"Trish is gonna be a great sleeping beauty.
" - Hm, I agree.
- Oh, look at this one.
"I've seen Trish fall asleep in class and I can't wait to see her do it on stage.
" Nice.
Did anyone say anything about the townsfolk? Oh, here's another one about Trish.
"Trish stinks like rotten onions.
They should call the play 'stinking beautey.
'" well, that wasn't very nice And they spelled "beauty" wrong.
It's okay.
People can say whatever they want.
I don't care.
I'm glad you feel that way, but you might not want to read the next comment.
"Trish isn't pretty enough to be playing sleeping beauty.
They should call the play, 'sleeping not-beautey.
'" they spelled "beauty" wrong again.
And did I mention you look great today? - And you smell great.
- Is that a new perfume? Guys, I know what you're doing.
And you can stop.
I'm fine, I promise.
I'm not gonna get upset about some stupid comments online.
What about stupid comments on our locker? Hmm, a bar of soap and a cracked mirror.
Oh, let me guess.
I looked into it and that's what broke it.
Hilarious.
Hey, this isn't funny! Trish is our friend.
You mess with her, - you mess with us.
- Yeah, this stops now.
Okay, now, this stops now.
I think they got it now.
Dez, thanks, but I'm fine.
This kind of stuff doesn't bother me.
Joke's on you guys.
Lavender's my favorite.
Aah.
Wow, Trish is being so cool about this.
Yeah, I'm more upset than she is.
Doesn't surprise me.
Trish isn't gonna let some misspelled insults get her down.
She's as tough as it gets.
Hey, Trish, do you think my character, Julie who lives in the town, should hold a loaf of bread? Because Are you crying? Yes.
I'm practicing for the crying part of the play.
The part where s sleeping beauty stubs her toe? Why would someone say such mean things about me? Who knows? Maybe they're insecure or jealous or just plain mean.
Don't listen to them.
You're the most beautiful girl I know.
Thanks, Ally, but don't tell the boys that I'm upset.
- Because then - Hey, Trish.
Are you crying? Yes, I'm upset, okay? But don't tell Dez or anything - Because, I - Hey, Trish.
Are you crying? Yes, I'm upset, but I don't want to talk about it.
And please don't tell anyone else - because - Hey, Trish.
Are you crying? Yes.
How many people can fit in this room? Excuse me, townsfolk, do you know where I can find sleeping beauty? She's in that castle.
Over yonder.
Please, give her this bread and tell her Julie says hello.
Stick to the script! Meanwhile, back at the castle.
- Huh?! - Wait, what? You're gonna sleep for 100 years because I totally put a curse on you! Yay, evil! Cut! Margo, I know you're just subbing for Trish while she's out sick, but you got to keep your eyes shut.
I know.
I'm just not as good of a sleeper as Trish.
How much longer is she gonna be sick? Well, if she's not better soon, you'll be playing sleeping beauty, so you'd better work on it.
I will.
I'll go home and practice sleeping tonight for for at least eight to 10 hours.
- You, less perky.
- Okay! You, lose the bread and your name's not Julie.
And, you Great job with that "over yonder.
" Don't feel bad, Margo.
You're doing great.
Thanks, Ally.
Oh.
Okay, you can let go of me now.
Oop.
That girl sure likes to hug.
So what's the deal with Trish? She hasn't been to school for three days.
I keep trying to call her, but she hasn't been answering.
She must be really sick.
Carrie and I saw her down at shredders last night - and she looked fine.
- What?! She says she has this weird flu that only affects her during school hours.
Hey, Ally.
I mean Hey, Ally.
I know you're not sick.
Fine, you got me.
Trish, this is ridiculous.
I'm your best friend.
You didn't have to lie to me.
I didn't want to get you involved.
It was my problem, not yours.
But you don't have to deal with this alone.
I'm here for you.
You know what, I'm gonna go online and give the person who started this a piece of my mind.
Ha! "'Sleeping not-beautey'? Well, you spelled 'beauty' wrong.
It's just 'y, ' not 'e-y.
' you better spell-check yourself before you wreck yourself.
" Ally, you don't get it.
This stuff was hard enough to ignore when it was just some random online bully.
Now it's out of control.
People have been posting mean pictures, prank-calling me.
I can't even walk down the halls without everyone laughing at me.
I understand, but you can't just keep calling in sick every day.
You're right.
I can't.
Good.
I'm glad you agree with me.
That's why I'm dropping out of school.
I never thought Trish would quit school.
I know.
It's weird.
It's not like her to quit something.
I mean, sure, she gets fired a lot, but she never quits.
I know how she feels.
There is always somebody who has something nasty to say after we perform.
I just wish we could make Trish realize that we have her back.
I know.
How about we do what we do best? Yeah! We'll put on a puppet show! I meant write a song.
Right That the puppets will sing.
So how are those posters coming? The show's tonight and I want butts in bleachers.
Mine's done.
Well, except for the spelling, good job.
Wait a minute, look how Margo spelled "beauty.
" "B-e-a-u-t-e-y.
" Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yeah, it's not "e-y.
" It's "e-e-e.
" No, Margo's the bully.
You mean, the "b-u-l-l-e-e-e"? Yeah, close enough.
Hey, Trish, listen.
I just wanted to say if you're here to talk me into coming back to school, you're wasting your breath.
I keep trying to tell you we're here for you, but you don't seem to be hearing me.
You left us no choice.
We had to write you a song.
Come on.
Hit it, Austin.
Oh, thanks, guys.
That was beautiful.
But I just can't show my face at school again.
Sorry.
I told you we should have done a puppet show.
Right, Mr.
sock-imoto? Oh, there you guys are.
The song didn't work.
Trish isn't coming.
Too bad.
She'll miss us getting back at Margo during the play.
Wait, get back at Margo? Yeah, Margo's the bully.
- Margo's the bully?! - Margo's the bully?! Margo's the bully?! I told you to put that thing away.
Sorry.
Okay, guys, game time.
The play's starting.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Move it! Come on.
Wait, wait.
Hold on, hold on.
What do you think they meant by "get back at Margo"? And don't answer with a puppet.
- What?! - Huh?! Today is my sixteenth birthday.
I'm the happiest princess in the land.
Happy Birthday.
Prince charming, you're two acts and 100 years early.
This isn't in the script.
I have a present for you.
I wasn't expecting a gift.
What a surprise.
Open it.
It's a skunk.
This is disgusting! Dez, what are you doing? Showing Margo what it feels like.
Who's stinking beauty now? That'll teach you to bully our friend.
Yeah! Stop! Trish, you showed up.
Yeah, I decided I was done being a victim, but I didn't expect to see this.
But Margo's the bully.
Yeah, but making her feel bad doesn't make me feel any better.
And messing with her makes you just as bad as she is.
Time out! What's going on here?! Margo wrote some mean comments about me online and things got out of hand.
Margo, you did that? Yes, but I just wrote that stuff because I guess I was jealous.
You really hurt my feelings.
I'm sorry, Trish.
I know you're pretty.
And you definitely don't smell like onions.
Thanks, I think.
Maybe next time, you'll think twice before you do something like that.
Margo, we'll discuss this later.
Now, hit the showers.
You smell like skunk.
Trish, you know you could have come to me, right? You could always talk to a parent or a teacher.
I didn't think you'd understand.
A lot of us have dealt with what you're going through.
When I was a kid, they used to make fun of my long, curly hair and my high, squeaky voice.
Seriously? It took a lot of courage for you to come here, Trish.
Well, it was easy when I have great friends like you by my side.
Now let's do this play.
I'm gonna play sleeping beauty, and I don't care what any of you people think! But I hope you like the show.
Excuse me, townsfolk, do you know where I can find sleeping beauty? She's in that castle! Over yonder.
Give her this banana and tell her Ann-Marie says "bonjour.
" I awaken thee with a kiss.
I said I awaken thee with a kiss.
Guys, I think she's really asleep.
She's so good.
Ever after.
We think bullying is a serious issue.
Just to be clear, we're against it.
Anyone can get bullied.
It doesn't matter who you are.
And check out some of these real comments people said about us.
"Calum, you got a big forehead.
" Seriously? Oh, here's a clever one.
"Laura is an idiot.
" Hmm.
"Raini Rodriguez is annoying and makes me want to vomit.
" Well, I hope you're not watching this show on a full stomach.
"I hate Ross lynch because he's ugly, stupid, weird, untalented, and he gets on my nerves.
" Wow, I think they pretty much covered everything.
Think before you post, guys.
Are these things you'd say to someone's face? How would you feel if your principal, mom, - or grandparent saw it? - Oh, you're lucky my grandma doesn't know how to use the Internet.
Because she'd have a thing or two to say about the idiot comment.
But seriously, as actors, we're used to mean posts.
We don't like them, but it just comes with the job.
These are just a few mean comments.
But if someone's continuously harassing or insulting you, that's bullying.
You should let someone know.
Talk to a friend, a sibling or an adult.
It might not seem like it, but there's always someone who'll be able to help.
You're never alone.
And a little piece of advice: If you're thinking about saying something mean about someone, just don't.
