Stolen Moves

1 on Make It Pop! Oh, ah! Wow, amazing! It actually looks like a club.
So, are we a band, or what? Ever consider joining the Spirit Squad? Oh , no thanks.
I do not like those girls.
We're gonna party, tonight They seem nice.
We're dead! Never good showing up a Spirit girl in front of the entire school.
What's the big deal? You danced well, she danced well.
How mad can she be? This is a high school, Corki.
We're the hot new thing.
That's our whole world, you just dumped on.
Do we really have time for all this drama? Corki's right.
Yeah, with her brains, your talent, and my looks, We'll have the whole school not talking to us, by the end of the semester.
Fuuuuuun! That's not fun.
Why are you searching me online? You can't just sneak up on people like that.
It's not polite.
And spying on me is? I'm not spying.
I'm trying to create a buzz for the band and I can't do that unless, I know something about you.
So what did you find? "Corki Chang is a girl.
" Good detective work.
Sun-Hi, you don't have permission to post my bio or investigate my life.
Come on.
If you have questions, just ask.
Fine, where were you born? Can't tell you.
What's your family like? Can't tell you.
Why are you being such a diva? Me? You're the one who has a shirt that says, "I'm a diva".
I do like that shirt.
Ugh! Corki, you're so mysterious! Friends share stuff with each other! Which is why I'm wearing your shoes right now.
You're impossible! She's hiding something.
And I'm gonna find out what.
Make it pop! Woo, woo I can't wait, no So make it pop! We're bout to, were bout to blow! Until we drop! Oh yeah, 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-make it pop! Alright, so it goes, arms up, and switch, grab your head, circle around, bounce, bounce.
Got it? Yep! I stand in the middle of the stage and look good.
Close enough.
Corki, don't be shy.
If you feel like adding a move, go ahead and try it.
Okay, let's take it from the top.
5- 6- 7- 8.
Let's come together We'll build it up and make it better When walls divide it We tear them down become united It's symptomatic of automatic love This could be our night for us to come alive It's time to show them who we are Who we are Who we are Who we are So fascinating Our journey to our destination Mmm It's so amazing On this golden road we're blazin' Yeah It's symptomatic of automatic love This could be our night or us to come alive It's time to show them who we are Who we are Oh, Oh, Oh Who we are Boom, Boom, Boom Who we are It's so amazing On this golden road we're blazin' It's so amazing On this golden road we're blazin Who we are Ah, baby! Who we are Boom, boom, boom Who we are Boom, boom, boom Who we are Um, Corki? What was that? It just came over me.
A ten-foot jump with a flawless landing, "just came over you"? I took some dance classes when I was younger.
Sorry guys, I gotta take this.
Another phone call she doesn't want us to hear? She's gotta be a spy.
For who, the City Ballet? Hey, we take a break while I fix this track? Caleb, our first concert's Friday and we have musical auditions coming up.
Yeah, we don't have time for you to be fixing things.
This music has to be perfect.
What if a record label shows up? You take all the time you need, Caleb.
I've been working non-stop.
This is the first time I've left my room in days.
That doesn't seem healthy.
Eh, sunlight's overrated.
Hey, has anyone else been experiencing a brittleness of the legs lately? Come on.
Let's take it from the top.
Eh.
Hello, Kalen.
It's Caleb.
You're the music man? You've heard of me? Okay, calm down.
Look, I need a cool song for our Spirit Squad to have at the opening night football game.
You like football right? Actually, I don't know much about it.
Not really a sports guy.
Could've fooled me, you're so fit.
Oh, well, I'm slightly hyperactive, so I burn a lot of calories.
Listen, I need this song to be passionate, strong, Go Beagles! Think you could do that for me? Heh, Hmph, heh.
Good boy.
Thanks, Kalan.
Beagles eat bagels.
Beagles soar like eagles.
Gotta think more ferocious rabid.
The rising tide of Beagle pride! Yeah! Quiet! You can't silence genius! And 5, and 6, and 7, 8.
1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6- 7- 8 1-2, and 3- 4- 5- 6- 7- 8 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6, boom, boom, ha,ha That was so good! So good! MacKendrick Prep's Spirit Squad has traditionally been forgettable.
Mediocre.
An afterthought.
I mean, way, way down on my list of-- Ok, ya.
But, what about right now? Right.
I love this routine! Bold, and innovative, like nothing I've ever seen.
Thank you, Ms.
Diona! Where did you get the inspiration? Here.
And here.
And you.
No, you didn't! Miss Mapa, this is a private rehearsal.
But those are my-- Not now.
Good job, Valerie.
We will see you at the game.
And I'll see you, never, You stole those dance moves.
From me.
Ohhhh, I see what's happening here.
You like our moves and want them for yourself, so you stage a public scene where you call us the thieves.
What do you think we are, the dumb police? Heh.
Hey, everybody.
This freshman thinks you're all super dumb.
I didn't say that.
I didn't say that.
No.
You employed it.
Implied, Heather.
Well, we'll leave you to deal with all these people you totally disrespected.
So, you wanted to see me about something? Um I was wondering if you keep files on the different students here.
Something that has tons of information in one convenient location.
Yes, but those are confidential.
In that case, I'm interested in taking one of those honors-y courses.
You know, the harder ones? You have that kind of potential.
Oh yeah.
I like to keep my potential very hidden.
What subject were you interested in? Whatever subject is in those text books there.
These? No.
Higher up.
The ones that'll take longer for you to get down.
Are you talking about Norse Mythology.
My personal passion.
Nobody ever chooses Norse Mythology, but it's really very fascinating.
Yes! I know! My favorite goddess is Freyja, who rides a chariot pulled by two cats.
No! Yes! She also has a boar named Hildisvíni.
Sun Hi? Strange girl.
Hello, Thor.
Kalen? Valerie.
How's the song coming? Um great.
Can I get you something? Water? I thought I saw a cracker in here somewhere.
Look, I just wanted to remind you how important this is.
It has to be the greatest football song ever written.
That sounds like a lot of pressure.
I'm glad you understand what's at stake.
This can't be your average, run of-the-mill anthem.
It has to be bold, fearless, and memorable.
Yesterday you said it had to be passionate, strong and about Beagles.
Are you bold, fearless, and memorable, Caleb? You said my name right.
But I thought you-- Ou hoo, uhh, hoo.
Owh! A DNA sample? Really? DNA, no.
Pain, yes.
Why? I was hoping that would hurt so bad that you'd just start yelling out stuff about yourself.
The entire school thinks I stole the Spirit Squad's moves! Yeah, I heard that.
Why'd you do it, Jodi? They stole our moves! They lifted our entire routine and they're gonna do it at some football game in front of everyone.
We can't do the same dance as them! We'll look like amateurs! Technically, we are amateurs.
Not the time, Corki! No one's gonna believe a couple of freshmen over the Spirit Squad.
They will if we have proof.
Criminals always brag about their crimes.
We just need to record Valerie confessing to someone.
Sure, we'll just do that with all our hi-tech surveillance equipment.
Good idea! Here you go.
Hi-tech surveillance equipment.
Who are you?! I said bold, fearless and memorable, Caleb better than this.
Better? Nobody says that to me about my music.
Well, except my mom.
But 29 hours of labour gives you that right.
There they are! This is called a Bionic Audio Booster.
Allows you to hear conversations up to 200 yards away.
This kinda draws attention to itself.
You're right.
Let me hold it.
It's recording, go time.
Group selfie, girls, everybody duckface! Sun Hi! You can't blog a secret mission! Where's the fun in that? Sun Hi, point it at Valerie! Heather, I have a secret to tell you, and you can't tell anybody.
Don't worry Val, I'm your little piggy bank of secrets.
Give me a deposit.
Yesterday, I realized I'm even prettier than I thought.
This is gonna take while.
When they take a break, they'll start talking.
That's when we'll get 'em.
Okay.
Sorry, it's my dad.
I have to take this.
Here's the charger.
1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6.
She must have a photographic memory.
She's doing our exact moves.
How does she sleep at night? Probably with her eyes open.
You know, like a snake.
Factually-accurate, dig.
Nice.
How'd that go, good? What's she saying? Bettery's dead.
Oh, there's an outlet.
So, the next move from here, we're gonna step onto our left.
Fire? Valerie to the rescue! This is a teachable moment in safety girls! Selfie! Hashtag safety first! So, what did I miss? Well, we've gone viral.
Whoever said there's no such thing as bad publicity was wrong.
Valerie's gonna get away with this.
And we won't have a fresh original dance number for our very first concert.
Or the audition for Oz.
We can't let her win.
Why do you care? What? We don't even know you! How can we be sure you're on our side? Of course I'm on your side.
Why would you say that? Kind of weird coincidence, you get all of this hi-tech equipment you know how to use, then it almost blows us up! That was an accident! P.
S.
It did blow up.
Sweet dreams, ladies! Hey, look, it's the merry band of thieves.
Want us to slow down so you can copy our walk? That's impossible, you have a completely different body type.
Ugh, you just don't get it.
You can't take something from nothing.
Oh hey, Valerie.
I've been up all night doing this beat.
How could you make beats for her?! Why not? Ugh, Valerie's the enemy! She stole Jodi's moves and now you're helping her.
Why am I always the last to know everything? It doesn't matter.
Nobody can dance to that anyway.
I can dance to it.
I think you should step off.
Well, I think you should dance off.
With me.
Now.
Mhm.
I'd rather do something more fun.
Like algebra.
FYI, she hates algebra.
If you invented those moves, we shouldn't stand a chance against you, right? I don't know what you're talking about.
Or maybe you're the one who's a thief and a liar.
Ouuuu! Hit it, Caleb.
I ain't serving up dinner I'm serving up skills, I was always a winner I'm serving up skills You're just a beginner Cause I'm serving up skills I'm serving up skills, I'm serving up la la la la la Where ya at, tell me, where ya at Holla Back baby, holla Back Let me show you what I'm workin with When I take a shot of infamous Where ya at, tell me, where ya at Holla Back baby, holla Back Let me show you what I'm workin with With, with, with, skills Look at what I'm working with, skills This is what I'm working with, with, with, with, with You say that I'm Craay craay, they so love to hate me And so do their mothers I'm friends with their brother I'm callin' you all out, prepare for the fallout All of you follow La La La La La Where ya at, tell me, where ya at Bring it Back baby, bring it Back Let me show you what I'm workin with When I take a shot of infamous Where ya at tell me, where ya at Bring it Back baby, bring it Back Let me show you what I'm workin with With, with, with, skills Look at what I'm working with, skills This is what I'm working with, skills Look at what I'm working with, skills This is what I'm working with, skills I'm sure your Dance Moms are very proud of you, kiddies.
But you haven't proven anything.
What's that? What is this? Gimme that! This is a recording of our rehearsal! I can't believe I was going to give you my last cracker! Here it is.
Proof that Valerie stole her moves from Jodi! So I may have been slightly influenced by your routine.
Whatever, you can have it back.
Yeah, we don't need your moves.
We'll just go back to the ones that have always worked for us.
You mean the ones Ms.
Diona called mediocre and forgettable? Be gracious in victory, Jodi.
Nah.
Thanks for helping, Corki.
I guess you're really on our side.
I can't believe I stood up to Valerie like that -- I feel so free! Calm down, Corki.
Sorry.
Don't worry.
They may have won the war, but they'll never win the battle.
Heather, that's not the way you-- Nevermind.
Excuse me.
Girls.
Football game, when is that? Friday night.
Everyone around here goes to football on Fridays.
It's mandatory.
But that's the night of our world premiere.
Not anymore.
Looks like your music career is over before it's begun.
