Make It Pop (2015) s01e05 Episode Script

I Can't Hear Me

1 e on Make It Pop.
Corki, you're so mysterious! Owh! A DNA sample, really? You stole those dance moves from me.
I think you should step off.
Well, I think you should dance off.
Looks like your little music career is over before it's begun.
Since when is football game attendance mandatory? It's in the school charter, Caleb.
The Founding Fathers were real sports nuts.
But our debut, that'll ruin everything.
Oh well.
A little higher, girls.
Higher.
Perfect! No it's not! Mr.
Stark, the student body has spoken.
That makes you the mouth.
What is this? A petition to stop the madness.
Eighty seven seniors have signed.
Four signatures by Valerie Graves? A typo, I'm sure.
But regardless, I am not the only one with deep objections to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
MacKendrick Prep needs a play of weight, matter-- And a male lead.
I applaud your passion, and I'll give this every consideration it deserves.
Thank you, sir.
Our first club date.
This is huge! I don't know.
On the one hand, singing in front of all those people would be so cool.
On the other hand, what if my dad finds out? On the other hand, why do I have so many hands? Don't worry, we'll just figure out a way to disguise you.
Besides, I'm very good at keeping secrets.
No one knows Sun Hi wears a night guard to bed.
Wow.
Plus I'll be on stage so no one will be watching either of you, anyway.
This is bad, bad, bad, bad.
Caleb? Football season opens Friday night! Everyone's gonna be at the game instead of our concert.
What?! Corki, you're the one who's supposed to stay on top of all of the "school-y" things going on around here! How did we not know about this? "School-y" isn't a word.
Well how would you say "school-y things?" School related miscellanea? Oh, now she's back to being all smart again.
It's not my fault, none of us knew about the game! She's right! Don't worry, there has to be a reasonable solution that satisfies everyone.
I got this.
Hey guys, can I talk to you for a minute.
Guys? Are you out there? Hello? Guess you'll be dancing with yourselves Friday night.
Goooooo Beagles! She may have zinged me, but mark my words, she'll be the last to get zung.
"Zung" isn't a word.
It's a word! Make it pop! Woo, Woo Make it pop! Woo, Woo I can't wait, no, I can't wait, no I can't wait, can't wait, can't wait So make it pop! We're bout to, we're 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, we make it M-m-m-m-m-make it pop! Just explain to your boss what happened, then politely ask him to switch the date of our concert.
Sure, he's a reasonable man.
Tell him his shadow looks slim.
Sir, it's Caleb Davis.
I'd just like to say that, your silhouette looks especially slim today.
We're supposed to have a concert here tomorrow night, sir, but there's a slight issue with a football game.
What's that? Fail, and you'll be fired.
Oh, I'll be fired, right.
Very clear, sir.
Yes, sir.
O--Okay.
Soooo, what'd he say? He said we can't change the date.
We need a new plan.
Who's got an idea? How about we totally follow the rules and attend the mandatory game like we're supposed to, yeah? Guys.
What do I always say? "Get away from the mirror, it's my turn?" No.
When the going gets tough, the tough start vlogging! I don't think that's how it goes.
I'll get the word out on the best local music podcast in town.
I'll make sure Corki goes back through the whole school handbook in case there's something else she missed.
Nobody ever said this would be easy.
Ahem, ahem, ahem.
I'm here to see the man in charge.
Name? It's Caleb Davis, a high school DJ.
I need help promoting a show tomorrow.
Did I say high school? I meant I'm a highly prominent music producer and a fully grown adult.
Technical support, hmm.
Hmph! I would like to accept this award and I should probably thank all the little people along the way, but I won't.
Why shou-- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers-- Students usually need to make appointments before barging in here, reciting Shakespeare.
No time for that, Mr.
Stark.
Imagine an entire night of me motivating King Henry the Fifth's troops-- A-K-A the audience, --to a heroic frenzy, that'll be the highlight of your theater career.
It's truly beyond imagination.
MacKendrick Prep is ready for something that moves, enlightens and empowers-- everything that is MacKendrick Prep.
And you have in front of you the man-- child who can deliver it.
Ahem, ahem! The show's set, Mr.
Anderson.
I've spent months writing a very special adaptation of L.
Frank Baum's classic book.
The play remains the same.
This conversation is not over.
But right now, I gotta get out of this chainmail.
It's starting to chafe.
Also, the cafeteria lady doesn't know I borrowed her sandals.
Just watch the door, ok! Alright folks, I'm taking off but, you be you and I'll be me.
One plus one plus one is three.
I'm DJ Maxwell, and this is the Max Attack.
Mr.
Maxwell, sir.
Who are you? I'm the audio engineer.
What happened to my regular I.
T.
guy, you know? The one who quietly judges me for not understanding a word that he's saying.
Sir, my name is Caleb Davis and I came here to tell you about my great new band.
I appreciate your ingenuity in the face of desperation.
Kinda cool, man.
Thank you.
Security! Wait, we need people to show up to our concert tomorrow night! And, uh, ple-- Be careful with this one, he's some sort of brooding artist.
No wait, you're making a mistake! This-- this band is something special! We just need a chance.
It's Caleb.
He says he didn't have any luck with the podcast.
The Sun Hi Nation isn't responding either.
You mean your family isn't coming in from Maryland? I have other fans.
An aunt in New Jersey.
Arghh! Why isn't anyone coming? Sun Hi, maybe you need a rest.
Don't you get it, this is our shot.
It's everything we've been waiting for.

Wait, a reply.
"Sun Hi, can't make it, Love, Mom.
" No, the nation is collapsing! Mom was the charter member! Are you all right? Did our lead singer just lose her voice? I guess there is just one thing left to do.
Ladies, commence freak out! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Oh my-- She wants to know what that means.
You can follow that? Of course.
I was a Junior Charades Champion, five years running.
I also know Latin, five romance languages, and I can communicate with a rare species of Chinese dolphin.
Sun Hi says, I'm a show-off.
Jodi says, I'm agreeing.
I was just gonna say, she has impeccable teeth There's no reddening or stress.
It's most likely psychosomatic.
I had a good life, it's time for me to move on.
Jodi, please take my back up phone as a special gift.
Corki, you reveal nothing of your personal details, so, i give you nothing in return.
Sun Hi, you're fine.
This is usually caused by nerves.
Sometimes the voice just comes back, other times, a patient gets a good scare and their voice returns.
She wants to know what we're going to do about tonight's show.
Only time will tell.
Or you could bill yourselves as mimes! What does that mean? She is either freaking out about tonight or she wants some potato salad.
There's no historical precedent for students getting out of the football game.
It's not going to happen.
She says, she has an idea.
She figured out how to sing with us! That's great, how? I can use my computer's voice.
Maybe no one will notice the difference.
Come on, girls.
Sing with me.
La la la la la la la.
As impressive as that was, I don't think it'll work.
What if I do an interpretive dance? Beagles swim, sharks drown! At MacKendrick Prep, it's Beagle town! Go Beagles! Wow, Valerie.
That was excellent.
That jump? So graceful.
And your poster? Very descriptive.
I'm not going to help you.
What if I begged? Maybe.
Pleeeaaseee!? No.
Your event will be a disaster and you're going to get in trouble for not going to the game.
But if I don't fill that club, I'll lose my job.
Oh no! You didn't say you were going to lose your job! Still don't care.
Byeeeeee.
Maybe you didn't hear me.
Oh, I heard you all right.
But now hear me, I'm a senior with a four point-five GPA.
My IQ is 162 and I can do the splits.
You have nothing to offer me.
Don't tell anyone about my IQ.
I like to be underestimated.
Go Beagles! Ahhhhhh! We were trying to scare you.
The nurse said it might snap you out of it and bring your voice back.
Does it look like it worked? Of course not.
If we really wanted to scare her, we should've taken away her cellphone.
We should just cancel.
"We can't cancel our debut, It'll destroy our reputation.
" But we aren't going to put on a great show if you can't-- Her hands aren't gonna get tired any time soon.
"Everything is riding on this, Jodi! Cancelling is not an option!" "So, what are we supposed to do, Sun Hi--" Why am I translating for you? Yell at her yourself! Woo, wee, wayyy.
The face.
You still got it.
Aunt Em! Aunt Em! You're kidding me.
Mr.
Stark, I am a real actor, I can play any part, even Dorothy.
I commend you on your commitment, Mr.
Anderson.
But you wouldn't last through Act One in those heels.
Wait, Mr.
Stark, let's talk about this! Oh, my ankles! Ow! Okay.
Three people are here.
Two want to skate.
The other one is from the Sun Hi Nation.
She wants to know if it's her mom.
No, it's her old babysitter.
She's at least thirty, and wearing a sweatshirt with a bunch of cats on the front.
How's your voice? Anything? We've got to cancel.
"No way, we can't, we promised-- What's that? we'd perform.
" But that cat sweatshirt, it might affect my performance.
Just saying.
"You two have to go out there, put on a show that my old babysitter will never forget.
" Sun Hi's right.
We owe it to ourselves to put on a great show regardless of how many people are out there.
Or on the stage.
You guys pick the worst times to be sensible.
Valerie, what are you doing here? What about the game? Beagle down.
Turns out our star quarterback twisted his ankle, so we had to forfeit.
Jared twisted his ankle? Yeah, and he won't tell anyone how it happened either.
Also, his legs were shaved they were smoother than mine.
Whatever.
So, you want a ticket? Sure.
Could be fun to watch you fail in person.
By the way, everyone who was at the game is waiting to get in.
Oh yeah, okay, ya.
I was okay when nobody was coming.
But the place is full.
I've never sung lead before.
Me neither.
What's she saying? "You two will be great, just do what we've been doing.
" "And I love you.
" Did she really say that last part? It would've been nice, wouldn't it? Bandmates forever.
Wait.
People are gonna know it's me.
Oh, right! But not with this! Thanks.
I'm really sorry guys but, I don't think I can do it.
me.
No one will know it's you.
I'm not going to tell anyone.
What's she saying? She won't tell anyone either, since she only ever gossips about herself.
True.
Let's do this before, I change my mind.
Welcome to the grand opening of Club Ry Ri! Let's go party people, put your hands together Nooooooo! Not without me! Let's light it up Let's see it all around us We're one and all The fire's gonna guide us Look at the sky We gonna make it shine so bright, oh Get ready now, it's time to put your cellies high I wanna feel it Light it up, Light it up 'Cause I wanna see it Light it up, Light it up Light it up for love Light it up, light it up Light it up for love Just, light it up, light it up Now do you feel the love Tonight it's all around us We're here tonight And no one's gonna stop us Look at the sky I've never seen it shine so bright, oh You're ready now 'Cause tonight we're gonna, Get fired up, let's light it up I wanna feel it Light it up, Light it up 'Cause I wanna see it Light it up, Light it up Light it up for love Light it up, Light it up Light it up for love Just, light it up, light it up Light it up Thank you! Thank you so much! Your voice sounded great! I guess the fear of not being able to sing with my own band snapped me out of it.
And look.
They love us! No one will ever forget our debut! I'm so glad you were able to be here and hog all the spotlight.
Yeah, me, too.
Uh-oh! I want everyone back to school immediately! That means now! Hey, who was that Masked Girl? Does anybody know who that was? Which one of you is responsible for this? Uh, I'm sorry, Ms.
Diona.
It was, it was all me.
Light it up, light it up, light it up
