Make It Pop (2015) s01e10 Episode Script
Homecoming
1 Last time on Make It Pop.
You're out as DJ.
You are a genius.
I knew I was gifted.
You lost the dress? No, I left it right there.
Someone either took it or kept it for themselves? I hope I didn't cause you too much "Diss Dress".
The Homecoming dance is a time-honored tradition that has never been missed in MacKendrick Prep's storied history.
But now it's canceled.
Because Caleb Davis destroyed the gym.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
It was an accident.
I didn't mean to blow up the gym.
Or get homecoming cancelled or anything.
What's that? Valerie: I had that Homecoming Crown in the bag, but now that bag will only be filled with tears.
And not metaphorical ones.
Real Val tears.
Whatever.
Okay, I mean, sure it's bad news, but life's an ever- evolving process.
I mean, if I can't be Homecoming King, I'll be a real king.
Find me a country with a weak monarchy.
What?! Mr.
Stark! I'm so sorry for all the trouble I've caused.
But no sense in dwelling in the past.
I mean, if you can learn to forgive me, then so can the rest of the student body and we can move on to more important things.
There's still a hole in my gymnasium floor.
I'm not in a forgiving mood.
Yes, but I just gotta say, That I have some awesome ideas for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Mr.
Davis, I need another one of your ideas like I need another eleventh place finish at the Toledo Soliloquy Festival.
Okay.
So just to be clear, you don't want to hear my ideas, right? Leave! I, I need my laptop.
Obviously you didn't take the dress and hide it from me.
I feel terrible.
I'll do all your homework for the rest of your life.
I just want that dress back.
I'll go get it for you! It still looks like it's still in pretty good shape.
Timing.
Just awful timing.
Look what they did to my-- They can't cancel Homecoming! It was gonna be everyone's greatest high school experience! I thought you hated Homecoming.
I'm talking about my solo performance! I won't stand for this.
Please don't say the four scariest words in the English-- I have a plan.
We should take cover while we still can.
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 Wait till 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 It's not too bad.
It kinda looks like it was clothing at one point.
All that hard work for nothing.
Is there no end to Valerie's schemes? Look on the bright side.
You got to witness the really cool chemical reaction that occurs when lightening strikes a pretty dress.
And you created something amazing.
No one can take that away from you.
Or prevent me from doing it again.
Thanks, Corki.
I think I have a plan.
See? It's so much nicer when you say it.
Why are you dressed in black? Did someone die? Some THING died.
My last hope to stand beside Jared as Homecoming Queen.
Don't you think you're overreacting a little? It's just a dance.
Just a dance? Would you call the Titanic "just a boat?" Homecoming was my everything.
Ugh this is no fun.
I came here to taunt you because you're a dress thief and generally terrible person.
Taunt away.
Maybe I'll feel something again.
Fine.
Here it goes: I'm organizing a thing and you're not invited.
A Social Media Dance.
What's that, you ask? An online flash mob so all of Sun Hi Nation, no matter where they are, can dance together at the same time.
Wow.
How could anyone be expected to dance at a time like this? But anytime is a good time, to dance.
Hey, Hey-eh-yay-e-ya-ey Where are all my girls at today Slo Mo video take a selfie Ooooh Tokyo, Busan, Miami Don't need Halloween to dress up just bring the candy All the best parties happen for free Ooo, Ooo Where my girls at? Ooo, Ooo Ooohhohohohohoho Ooo, Ooo Wanna join up, Then don't miss a beat Tell 'em Jodi We bring the party, Dance in the street Come on let's get moving, we're going in deep So busy dreaming, No time to sleep No time to sleep Ooo, Ooo OH-A-WHOA Ooo, Ooo My girls Ooo, Ooo HOA-WHOA-HAAAAAAAA Ooo, Ooo Hey, Hey-eh-yay-e-ya-ey Where are all my girls at today? Hey, Hey-eh-yay-e-ya-ey Where are all my girls at today? Roller skating, ski dive, dating, on trampolines What? Sneakin' out late at night, Don't run out of steam Run out of steam Leaving them lipstick kisses wherever we be When it comes to fun, We're the crop of the cream.
What? Ooo, Ooo oohh oohhh Ooo, Ooo oohh oohh Ooo, Ooo Where my girls at? Ooo, Ooo Where my girls at? Hey, Hey-eh-yay-e-ya-ey whoa Whoa-oa-ohh Where are all my girls at today? Too-day-e-ay Hey Hey, hey Hey-eh-yay-e-ya-ey hey-e-yeah-ey Heyee-yay-ay Where are all my girls at today Where my girls at? Hey, let's go girls, 5-6-7-Hey! There is nothing to dance about.
Because there is no dance.
Get it? Somebody's got a secret admirer.
You should really get an email account! These aren't love letters.
They're angry notes from the student body.
Oh, 'cause it's your fault Homecoming's canceled? Yeah.
"I didn't realize DJ stood for Dumb Jerk.
" People can be so cruel.
Wait, this one's from you.
Oh yeah, sorry.
Mob mentality, you know? I gotta fix this mess.
There's gotta be a way to save Homecoming.
I don't know.
Unless you can somehow find another gymnasium.
What are you doing? Making headway.
Yeah I can see a real difference Yeah! Okay, so progress is slow.
But I'm convinced I can fix this.
Creative inspiration has struck! Kind of like lightning striking our dress It's good to have a project that'll take my mind off the dance being canceled, That's a Hye Jung Ko original.
She's my idol! For a while there, it didn't like you would finish and I used my connections in the high fashion scene.
Who are you? No.
This is not for you.
This dress is for you.
Do I even need a dress? There's no dance anymore.
This isn't about the dance.
This is about something bigger.
I see something in this dress, Corki.
It speaks to me.
It says, "I am Corki.
" Your dress speaks English? Absolutely not.
What? We will not have Homecoming at your roller rink, Mr.
Davis.
You are a menace.
I can only imagine how much worse you would be on wheels.
But, if we were to just, There's a new administrative policy.
Any idea proposed by Caleb Davis will automatically be rejected.
It's already in the school charter.
You simply cost us too much.
And expose us to too many potential lawsuits.
Frankly, I'm afraid to be standing this close to you right now.
I'm sorry, there will be no Homecoming this year, And please take this bag of letters that wouldn't fit into your locker.
Wait, how do you know my locker combination!? I know everything.
She does! I wish it was a week ago.
That was a simpler time.
No one knew who I was.
I hadn't yet dashed hundreds of young hopes and dreams.
Hold still.
Stop reminiscing.
But I had the perfect solution.
I talked Randy into letting us throw Homecoming at Club Ry Ri.
But Stark and Diona shot it down.
You don't exactly have the best track record.
Everyone deserves a seventh chance right? You mean second chance.
Nah, I blew by that five chances ago.
In Brooklyn we used to throw basement parties.
The parents never knew, and the kids all had fun.
That's a great idea! Thanks.
What are you talking about? We can't have the dance in the basement.
You blew up the basement.
I'm talking about doing something that has never been done in the history of this school: a secret Homecoming Dance.
Hi: A secret Homecoming At Club Ry Ri.
Without the school's permission.
I like the way you think, Caleb.
I don't know if I can pull off something so subversive.
Sun Hi, you have to help me.
Of course I will.
If people know you're behind it, they won't come.
I'm loving this idea.
Corki? Even though the phrase "without the school's permission" makes me break out in a rash, I'm trying to be a more supportive friend, so I'm in.
That's a yes.
We're a go! Yes! I'm gonna DJ Homecoming after all! Ugh.
Great.
I'm out of fabric.
How are we gonna get the word out to everyone with such little time? Lucky for you, I'm already canvassing phone numbers for my flash mob dance.
I'll just send a mass text.
People love impersonal mass correspondence.
What if some people don't get the message? How are they gonna know about the dance? This is high school.
Rumors travel faster than the internet.
Hey! I heard Homecoming's being moved to Club Ry Ri! Shhhh, it's a secret.
See? I didn't even start texting yet.
What're you doing in Valerie's room? Jodi needed more fabric.
You didn't see anything, Caleb.
Right! Right Eyes closed.
This silence is kind of eerie.
I know.
Maybe we should cancel beloved events more often.
It seems to have shocked the students into good behavior.
I'll make a note.
All major holidays -- cancelled.
Not bad, huh? It's perfect.
In fact, I think you should wear it.
You worked really hard on it, and let's face it, I haven't been the most supportive friend.
And you'd rather wear the Hye Jung.
I don't blame you.
Absolutely not true.
The Jodi Mapa original was tailored for me.
True, tailoring is key.
If Jared doesn't notice you after this, he doesn't deserve you.
I insist you wear this one.
The Hye Jung Ko? You know you're probably never getting it back, right? Whoohooo, yeahhh! It worked! The secret dance worked! You look very nice, by the way.
Thanks.
You too.
Sick beats, DJ! Although, for the record, we still don't like you! Understood.
Where's Jared? Time to get this party started! Jared! Why are you so late? My bow-tie wouldn't tie.
It was a whole thing.
Well, at least you made it.
It's Homecoming, Jared! We can be king and queen after all! I've already chosen our dance song, She did.
Is that--? Corki, you look amazing.
Thanks.
An underground Homecoming Dance? With no chaperones? And after hours? This is an unprecedented act of defiance! Who is behind this? Caleb Davis.
Agh.
Ms.
Diona! Mr.
Stark, what's up? We have a chaperone! And How did you find out about this? We are not dense, Mr.
Davis.
We saw the cafeteria lady wearing a prom dress and she told us 'what's up'.
But this time it's different, we followed all the fire safety codes! Caleb, it's time.
Gotta go.
Gotta go where? Excuse me? We're shutting this thing down! Mr.
Stark, I think you should see this first.
Yeah, yeah, ouhh Remember when we first met, that moment, I looked at you Oz and I knew that this was it, mhmm I know you saw right through me and clearly, we felt something that words could not describe We both saw the signs The way you'd talk to me, talk to me and take a walk with me I'd been waiting for this for so long Yeah yeah The way you held me, and told me, one more dance maybe Remember how I felt it oh so strong I could not believe it I will be here, right by your side All I can do, is watch over you Oh, I don't if you feel the same, still I'm wondering now Baby do you know my name, ooh yeah, baby can you see it The starry sky is above you, I just wanna hold you May I have this dance? And take you on a ride oh yeah wish that you could feel it I got this feeling inside me, I'm going crazy Valerie: Excuse me, I'm gonna go barf in the punch bowl.
Hey, wait a minute.
Is that my blanket? She's wearing my blanket! Do you have any idea what she's talking about? Aghh.
Yeah, I will be here, right by your side All I can do, is watch over you, oh I don't know if you feel the same Still I'm wondering now Baby do you know my name Ooh yeah baby cau it The starry sky is above you, I just wanna hold you And take you on a ride Ooh yeah, wish that you could feel it I got this feeling inside me, I'm going crazy You make me wanna fly Jodi: Not bad, huh? Not bad? It was glorious! Let's punish them later.
What?! The children need time to revel in the work of art they just witnessed.
You're such a pushover, Stark.
Look, I'm sure you'd rather be at home watching a Norse Mythology marathon on the Ancient Civilizations Network tonight You know me too well.
Fine, I'll leave them in your hands tonight.
But they will be punished! Sun Hi! Where did you come up with such an out-of-the-box performance? I just think, "What will get me the most attention," then I go way past that.
So does this mean I can do the music for the play? Not a chance.
Jared: I know there's no official Homecoming Court, but ah you're definitely the queen to my king.
And maybe next year, it will be official.
But you're a senior.
Next year you'll be in college.
I bet they'd bend the rules for me.
I'm so sorry.
I have to take this.
Hello? What's wrong? It's my father.
He's coming for a visit.
Hey, that's great! No, it's not.
It's the opposite of great.
Excuse me.
You're out as DJ.
