Make It Pop (2015) s01e03 Episode Script

Failed Dreams

1 Last time on, Make It Pop I don't want to see your band, or hear a single note of it ever again.
This is serious with no rehearsal space there is no band, with no band, Sun-Hi can't be the star, and if Sun-Hi can't be the star Is she gonna explode, or? Way to kill the dream, Caleb.
Jodi, wait!!! I can make this club huge, I can make this band huge! And I will! Pretty soon.
Pretty sure.
Maybe.
Ya.
I knew there wouldn't be a stage at a roller rink.
But there is one! Well, atleast his lie is factual.
In the last century, bands would tour in buses and play at bowling alleys, skating rinks, basically wherever the kids were.
And, clearly they weren't here.
What? I know some things too.
You still like me, right? Noon today, Mr.
Stark announces the school play.
I hope it's a one-man show.
I'd be great in that.
That seems like a lot of work.
It is, but I'm a trained actor.
Chin exercises are the secret.
Too bad freshman can't get any good roles in the play.
They only let you be plants, rocks, an occasional primate if you're lucky.
It's okay.
Being center stage isn't something I'm comfortable with.
Life is a stage.
Which is awesome, if your me.
Off to the weight room.
This chin doesn't hold itself up.
See you later.
Unique New York, Unique New York Students, today is the day you have been waiting for.
This year's MacKendrick Prep High School musical, written, directed, and produced by myself is, Mr.
Millwood Stark is The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz! Yes! Yes! What!? I can't be Dorothy! Argghhhh!!!! Fabulous costumes, Good music.
Awesome lead! Make it pop, Woo, woo Make it pop, Woo, woo I can't wait, no I can't wait, no I can't wait, no I can't wait So make it pop, we're bout to, we're bout to blow Until we drop, oh ya, we're ready to go Ain't gonna stop, when is it time for the show We make it, you make it, they make it M-m-m-m-m-m- Make it pop Designed costumes for school musical, rad! Well, I'm going to be Dorothy.
And you two can be my sidekick Munchkins.
The sidekicks are not Munchkins.
They're three physical representations of different intangible shortcomings, duh! What? Everyone knows that.
I think her point was that she's going to be the star.
That's pretty much always my point when I'm talking.
Also, I want us to audition as a trio.
Do they let people audition as trios? We're trendsetters.
We'll do a full-on performance with costumes and lights.
Once it goes viral and millions of people see it, they'll have to cast us as the leads.
Sun-Hi you have a gift of making insane plans seem doable.
Don't ruin my drama.
Okay, toodles.
Look, Stark.
This better not be a replay of last year.
Are you talking about my production of The Comedy"? That was a masterpiece.
Not if you were in the audience.
Ouch.
I've never liked this time of year.
Children singing and dancing in the halls.
Parents incessantly asking why their little Tommy or Sloane didn't get the lead.
Constant disappointment is one of the joys of theater.
If your Oz is another disaster for the theater department you'll be joyful all the way to the unemployment office.
I'm looking to tear down the auditorium.
I'd like to put in a new Aquatic Center.
It's sink or swim, Stark.
Or, more accurately, if you sink, I swim.
Get out! Right.
The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz!? It's about two girls! And they're fighting over shoes! Mr.
Stark, this play is important to me! It's important to everyone, Jared.
There's always the Wizard.
You mean that bald round headed guy who doesn't show up until the second act? What a waste of a perfect chin.
Look, I get it.
You like this play.
It helped you through your awkward phase in high school.
I was different, so what? Genius always is.
The point is, I can work with it.
Let's re-write this entire thing make Dorothy more of a masculine presence who's name is, Dennis.
The book is written, Jared.
You can audition like everyone else.
Remember there are no small parts, just small actors.
Especially in this case, we have Munchkins, a lot of them.
Munchkins? I'm the biggest man on this campus! Just in time.
Try the tin-wood man.
Can't.
It's our first math test.
You guys do know, we have a test now.
Right? That's next week.
No.
it's in three minutes.
Can't wait! Don't panic.
We'll just say that we've come down with Geometric plague.
I can't see.
Math test, get changed Sun-Hi.
Is anyone there? Hey! Get it right or do it all again.

What'd you name the triangle for question three? Ricardo, but I was just guessing.
Argh Math, why do we even need it? What do they think computers are for? I so blew it.
Hey, girls, hey! You know what I love the most about you three? How forgiving you all are.
Okay, look.
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
So sorry.
So, so sorry.
Caleb! Desperation is not a good look for you.
I'm can to fix this.
I still believe that, if combined, your talent, plus mine.
Mind blowing.
So, what do you say? I'm trying out for the orchestra.
I have a slight touch of geometric plague.
Let us know if the roller rink ever becomes an actual club.
Stop the Munchkins! Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry? Uh, no thanks.
If you need brains, courage and heart, look no further.
Come on, Freshmen, man up.
or woman up and sign my petition to stop Oz.
Not a chance.
Oz'll be great with girls.
We're auditioning as a trio.
Corki, I was really counting on you.
You were? It would mean so much to me, to have you stand by my side on this issue.
And besides the three of you auditioning together is a terrible idea.
Why? Trust me, the orchestra is where you want to be.
Preferably playing music for a show about a strong male lead.
Failed! What does that mean? It means "Due to a lower than sixty two percent of correct answers you have failed.
" I was worried that's what it meant.
Excellent.
Nothing is excellent right now.
My test score is.
One hundred percent.
Right or wrong? Right, of course.
Who does that? Why, what did you guys get? We failed.
And we, "are now on academic probation.
" What does that mean? It means we, "can't audition for the play.
" Okay, stop.
Every time you read something, it just gets worse.
How am I supposed to get world famous if I can't even audition for a high school musical? Forget the musical.
I just failed my first test here.
You two worry too much.
What are you talking about? If this was you, you'd be a mess.
If this were me, the teacher would've made a grading mistake.
You're not helping, Corki.
Sorry.
Why don't you just petition for a make-up test? You can do that? Yeah, didn't you guys read the MacKendrick Prep handbook? We were supposed to memorize it.
Do you do everything that you're told? Yes.
Every student is entitled to one make up test per semester within twenty four hours of the original test.
That's perfect! We'll do a make-up test, then all get parts in the play.
The train to fame is back on the tracks, people! Now, come on! Let's go pass this science test! It's math.
Close enough.
Randy, Rando, sir.
I realize, that as my boss, you don't need advice from a high schooler, But I still believe I can fill this place, and I know it.
A teen dance club.
Think about it.
Really, that's great.
And I'm fired if it doesn't work.
Understood.
Yes! Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.
As you were.
What's A? X equals A, over four, plus two.
What's A? Who cares? Next.
Oh, oh, uh-oh, ahh! It's okay.
I'm fine.
The paint broke my fall.
If seven is to five and X is to three.
What is X? X is stupid.
That's what it is.
X is four-point-two.
You cross multiply and divide.
Simple, ugh! What kind of number is four-point-two? Come on.
Uh-oh.
I guess I asked for that.
So cold! Sun Hi? I got nothing.
We're dead.
So dead.
Alright, I'll help you.
Really? That's so nice! Who knew? I'm not being nice, I'm being pragmatic.
If I don't help you, you'll fail.
Which means no auditions, which means no show.
I'll never get any sleep, if you two don't have something else to do other than schoolwork.
She is smart.
Yeah.
Thanks, Corki.
You haven't passed yet.
And by the way, this is all wrong.
This electricity stuff is trickier than I thought.
So, how'd it go? I definitely did better.
Not sure.
Well, you'll know soon enough.
It's Caleb.
He wants to see us.
Yeah good luck with that.
I'm never talking to him again.
I am.
Besides, you have something better to do? You're right, let's go.
Check this out! Sick! Wow, amazing.
It actually looks like a club.
I know, right? Look, I believein you guys, in us-- --in what we can be together.
We passed.
What, really? What are you doing? Sharing in your joy.
Too much? I'll let it slide this time.
So are we a band, or what? Yeah.
But only if Corki sings with us.
I thought you didn't want me.
I like you now.
That's what you get for helping me.
Corki, Corki, please, please, please! Fine, as long as you don't go putting my face all over the internet.
But why-- And no, I won't tell you why.
Okay, you got a beat? Always.
Wait, give me ten minutes.
fifteen, twenty, thirty minutes, tops.
Three, two, one.
What's up, there's something in the air It's that feeling when the weekend comes Say what you doing way up there I think that we could have some fun I know this place that we could go We're not invited but who cares We girls are putting on a show There's so much happening out there Out there Out there Party People!

I like a performance with no audience.
Yeah These costumes are sick.
I'm just getting started.
That was a great song, have any more? Hundreds! Well, twenty, but I've got a lot of ideas.
Oh, that's Randy, my boss.
I think I'm fired.
Ah, H-h-hello, sir.
Before you say anything, I've got some good news and I've got some bad news.
The good news is there's no longer a hole in the wall.
The bad news is, well, there's no longer a wall either.
Oh, and with the singing and dancing business, Yes, I know it was loud but, Mm-hm.
Mmmm-hm.
Oh, yes, sir.
Mhm, mhm.
Okay, sir.
Sir? He liked what he saw.
He says I can put a show on here, on Friday night.
Ugh, with people? If I was someone else, say with a different body, and brain, I think I could almost kiss you! Thanks? I said almost! Right, I knew that.
Ok listen, If the show goes well, we can be the house band.
If it doesn't, I'm fired.
We'll tell everybody! What do we call ourselves? Let's think of something right now.
The Invisibles? Can't see it.
Ou, the "The Fashionista Gals?" Out of style.
What about, "Sun-Hi and Her Back-Up Singers?" Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Just spit-balling, sheesh.
We need a name that reflects all our unique talents.
Let's see, I play the violin.
Sun-Hi's, a social media expert.
Jodi got the costumes and the choreography.
And Caleb's got the beats.
The Sun-Hi Quartet!?? I can see this band naming thing is going to be a little problematic.
Why I kinda liked it? I can't believe Caleb actually came through with that club.
I know.
He's more amazing than we gave him credit for.
Yoooooou like him.
No, I don't.
You like him.
No, I don't.
Ya like him! Enough! She does.
I know, right? Ready, ok, we have.
Up, down, down, arm, arm, circle around, and look.
Ball change, kick.
Gooooooooo, beagles! How was that, good? Down hey, down hey Down hey, down hey Untz, untz, untz Heeeeey, hah, Ou hah! Ou, hay! Not bad, Noobie.
Ever considered joining the Spirit Squad? Oh, no thanks.
With the band and school, I don't know if I can be so peppy all the time.
Was that supposed to be funny? Look, there are rules around here.
A pecking order.
You may not have figured that out yet but trust me, you will.
Okay.
Well, that wasn't very peppy.
C'mon, let's get out of here.
I do not like those girls.
That makes two of us.
And maybe more, if other people don't like them as well.
So, what are you gonna do about it? I don't know.
But I always think of something.
She does.
