Backstage (2016) s02e02 Episode Script
Leading by Example
[Carly.]
Previously on Backstage These are arguably the best musicians in this year's graduating class.
And as a part of their independent study unit, they'll mentor a group of younger students.
- You don't bring out my best musically.
- So quit.
Any idea who got into the Primas? [Sasha.]
Someone named Mindy from Grade 9.
I didn't hate it.
And a new guy.
[Vanessa.]
That kid Bradstreet? - Kit, do I sound okay? - You sound perfect, Scar.
[coughs.]
[Kit.]
My sister has a node scare like, once every two months.
Scarly, are you okay? [techno music playing.]
[door opening.]
[techno music playing on headset.]
Little Dunn.
- Where's the starlet? - [scoffs.]
You mean Annie Leibovitz? She's a photographer.
- She takes pictures of the stars.
- Yeah, I know who Annie Leibovitz is.
I just don't get the comparison.
Oh.
You will.
[water dripping.]
[door opening.]
[knocks on door.]
[Frances.]
I never thought I'd see the day.
Scarlett the Starlet behind the camera.
I'll pay the fine 'cause this doesn't feel right.
Look, Scar.
I've been chosen to do this mentorship ensemble thing for my independent study.
And I have to pick a junior singer, aka you.
[gasps.]
That's amazing.
Right, Scarlett? Okay, I get it.
You don't wanna be a mentee, but it's me.
It's not like I'm gonna push you around.
I know how talented you are and I just I really want your voice in my group.
Heck, you can even mentor me if I don't convince you.
Finally, a breakthrough.
Or not.
I don't get it.
I thought the surgery was months ago.
Didn't it go well? - Yeah, it did.
But she's still recovering.
- [Frances whispers.]
I'm sorry.
I had no idea.
Look, when When you're well enough to sing again, I'd love to have you in my group.
Thanks anyways, Frances.
[door opening.]
[door closing.]
[clicks.]
Scarlett, this is starting to get really old.
It's time for you to get over whatever you're going through and start singing again.
["Spark" playing.]
My eyes are open but I cannot see And I'm up and walking Still feels like a dream Until our eyes adjust I guess We're only feeling in the darkness Oh, oh, oh - We just need a spark - Oh, oh - To light up the dark - Oh, oh I can feel you with me I can feel you with me - We just need a spark - Oh, oh - To light up the dark - Oh, oh I can feel you with me I can feel you with me We just need a spark - [door opening.]
- [guitar music playing.]
[rattling.]
[sighs.]
So let me get this straight.
Grade 9, injury.
Grade 10, injury.
Grade 11? Here's hoping.
- [Vanessa grunts.]
- How you doing? [chuckles.]
Surviving.
[inhales, exhales.]
I said surviving, not thriving.
On the bright side, you've been through this before.
- So you know the drill.
- You're right.
I know the drill.
[sighs.]
I just need to stay focused.
Stay positive and I'll be better in no time.
Absolutely.
I can't believe this is happening to V again.
She doesn't deserve this.
Hey.
No pity looks.
It's like you said.
Positive outlook, positive outcome.
- That's the spirit.
- [both chuckle.]
Who knew the Drama Department had so many costumes, right? It's like a bottomless pit of reject Lady Gaga outfits.
No offense to the Drama Department.
- No offense to Lady Gaga.
- [chuckles.]
You think those driers just happen to be out of order today? They sabotaged us? Like the Art Department just happened to have no big paint brushes? [scoffs.]
They sabotaged us! [chuckles.]
So I have some news.
- Can it please be good news? - Actually, it is.
Cassandra told me that I'm in the running for Prima dance captain next year, after she graduates.
What? That's amazing! It's down to Amy and I.
This is so epic, C.
Just think.
You could be the next Cassandra.
Wait, that didn't come out right.
You can never be an evil dance dictator like her.
- Cassie's not that bad.
- Can you please stop calling her Cassie? When you stop calling her "evil dance dictator".
[both.]
Not gonna happen.
[both chuckle.]
But seriously, I'm so happy for you, C.
You'll be your own kind of dance captain.
Nothing like her.
Cassandra is an amazing dancer.
I've never seen anyone so driven, and I've learned so much from her.
But I mean, let's be real.
- The girl can be scary.
- Yeah.
Evil dance dictator scary.
If I'm lucky enough to be the next Prima captain, I'm gonna run things differently.
I know you will.
That's it.
Just in time for Prima practice.
- See you here? - You know it.
Make sure you say hello to the evil dance dictator for me.
[chuckles.]
[door opening.]
[upbeat music playing.]
Take five, everyone.
Amy, Carly, stand with me.
Amy Make sure all the dancers have the most up-to-date choreo.
That's it.
Go.
Go.
Carly, I'd like you to take over welcoming the recruits for me.
Sure.
I'd love that.
I can throw them a little welcome Get them to make us our juices.
Oh, okay.
Not a problem.
Apparently, Cassandra and I have different definitions for the word "welcome".
[Carly.]
Recruits! Today, you will be embarking on a very important task.
Making the Prima juices.
Yes.
- It's not gonna be easy.
- No.
It takes the average recruit at least five attempts before they get it right.
And that's why I'm going to help you.
Really? You're amazing.
Leading by example.
Kill them with kindness and everyone wins.
I used to be you guys last year.
I know how hard it is being a recruit, so if you have any questions or concerns, just ask me.
I'm happy to help.
- Actually, I have a question.
- Anything.
Can you move two feet to your left? You're in my eyeline.
Oh.
Uh, sure.
Bumble bee, bumble bee, bumble bee -Bumble bee - Sorry I'm late.
- It's okay.
I'm just warming up.
- Don't let me stop you.
Bumble bee, bumble bee, bumble What are you doing? I [chuckles.]
I have a bad habit of not enunciating, and these vocal exercises really help ground me.
Says who? My vocal coach, she's A thousand years old? [chuckles.]
Those are ancient.
Yeah.
[chuckles.]
Yeah, they're super lame.
First of all, you need to be working on breathing before you get to diction exercises.
Yeah, I'm seeing all kinds of wrong, and that's just from the way you're standing.
You need to refresh yourself on Alexander Technique.
That's better.
Okay.
Why don't you sing something from your book? [whispers.]
Okay.
[guitar string squeaks.]
The first thing that I wouldn't say to you Okay, let's take that again.
Okay.
The first thing that I wouldn't say And again.
The first thing that I wouldn't say - Uh, again.
- [inhales.]
Could you maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong, and then I could correct it? You're wasting time.
From the top.
The first thing that I wouldn't say No, again.
[indistinct chattering.]
[chuckles.]
Wait for it.
[cell phones chiming.]
What? Did I do something? - [whispers.]
I know it was you.
- She speaks.
I know it was you who tipped off TMK with the story.
So? What do you care? It's true, isn't it? You're not singing anymore, or did TMK get it wrong? - No.
- Look.
We both know the doctor gave you the all-clear weeks ago.
And you're ready to sing, so sing already.
I get if you're scared, Scar, but Stop.
Just butt out already.
[pop music playing.]
I'm just leading with kindness.
And evil dance dictator is okay with that? If Cassiefound out I was helping them, she'd snap a tendon.
Sorry.
Too soon.
I've got the entire list.
I mean, some of this was hard to find, but I did it.
Every single ingredient.
- Even the fish oil? - Yup.
This is gonna be delicious.
Aren't we Positive Polly? We should probably wait till Beckett arrives.
Yeah.
[Mindy.]
Oh, there he is.
[Carly.]
Beckett! Over here! Um, maybe he's going to get something.
Yeah.
He'll be back any second.
Hate to break it to you, C, but I don't think he's coming back.
- You okay? - [stammering.]
I don't know.
I no.
[Bianca.]
Alya.
[sighs.]
[door opening.]
[Frances.]
Bianca? [door closing.]
Hey, Mom.
No.
I'm fine.
Really? [stammers.]
I don't wanna come home.
[stammers.]
I just wanted to talk.
Actually, can I ask you a question? Um, those vocal exercises Are those from your musical theater days? You found them online? Mom, that's a site for little kids.
No, nothing is wrong.
I I just I was just curious.
[high-pitched tone.]
Alya! Mom, someone's calling me.
I have to go.
[scoffs.]
Yeah, I'll call you later.
Love you, too.
[humming.]
[woman singing.]
Open up the doors and say You're right.
I'm scared.
But you don't have to be.
What if I can't sing the way I used to, Kit? And what if you can? It's okay to be scared, but doing nothing about it isn't gonna help.
You have to look fear in the face and try.
Try something again, Scarlett.
You owe it to yourself.
The surgery was so invasive.
So many things could have gone wrong.
What if when I sing, my voice has changed? What if I'm not as good as I used to be? Then at least you'll know and you can move on to the next thing and become the next Annie Leibovitz.
But if you don't sing, if you don't try, then you'll be throwing so much away.
And for what? Fear? [sighs.]
It's time to let go, and find out what's next for Scarlett the Starlet.
[guitar strumming.]
Ow! [groans.]
[grunts.]
[thudding.]
Sorry.
[stammers.]
I didn't mean that.
Sure you didn't.
[sighs.]
- You okay? - Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just Frances.
[scoffs.]
It's like I was in a horror movie, where it doesn't end well for my character.
I'm not following.
- She didn't try to break you? - Break me? She did recommend I drink tea.
Tea? That's it.
This is surprisingly good.
- Well done, recruits.
- You can thank your sidekick for that.
What's he talking about? Well, um, what I thought was that She made the juices, not us.
Is this true? [softly.]
What were you thinking? We're not trying to make friends here, Carly.
- I thought that if I lead by example - You thought wrong.
Sometimes, you need to make an example.
Watch and learn.
You're both starting from scratch.
No recipe, no help.
- And I want them by end of day.
- [chuckles.]
Is something funny? No, what's funny is your obsession with juice.
See, I'm a dancer, so let me dance.
I feel like I'm in a class for tots and tutus.
Then stop acting like a baby and make me my juice.
Want me to wear a tutu while I'm at it? Nothing more sad than a tot without a tutu.
Great idea.
Carly, get him and the other recruit tutus.
Amy, walk with me.
So the harmony is something like: [vocalizing.]
[sighs.]
She might be a superstar, but that doesn't mean she could treat me like garbage.
[vocalizing continues.]
- What's your game? - Game? [exhales.]
I know what you're doing.
I've seen this movie, and, frankly, it's overrated.
I seriously have no idea what you're talking about.
You're trying to break me down, so you could build me back up.
You're hoping I'll have a meltdown, come crying to you about all my mommy issues, and then, there you'll be, picking up the pieces, showing me the light.
Frances, the savior! - Okay.
- I'm not done.
I don't need saving.
What I need is for someone to push me, and to support me.
Not break me.
Sing.
What? All I was trying to do earlier was get some emotion from you.
Some of this.
Sing.
Sing from this place.
- But - Sing.
The first thing That I wouldn't say to you If you let me back in your life Wouldn't make up For what I put you through And wouldn't make everything all right Until you put it in a new light Now the worst time Seem like the best times of my life In hindsight We were just ordinary fools Waking up Stretching out to win whatever You can look it up No, you can't learn it in school It's just a love That would last for never It's just a love That would last for never That's what I was talking about.
That was That was something.
Even if you make it what you like Music always gonna make you Feel all right [indistinct chattering.]
[Beckett.]
Walk with me, slave.
Make me my juice.
This is not good enough.
Do you know who I am? I'm Cassandra, the Prima captain.
- I command you to be my friend.
- [laughter.]
[girl gasps.]
- Here's your juice, Your Majesty.
- You think you're so funny.
You know what else I think? If you weren't captain of the Primas, none of these people would put up with you.
You're just a sad little dancer, with no friends and no clue.
I'm her friend.
And if anyone doesn't have a clue, it's you.
Do you know how many people would kill to be in the Primas, and you act as if it's some joke.
Tell me.
What does juice have to do with dancing? Easy.
It's about paying your dues.
It's about starting at the bottom and working your way up, so that if you get to the top, you know just how hard that juice was to make.
[woman.]
Yeah.
The Primas are an institution at Keaton.
And if you can't respect that, then you're not worth the time to have it explained.
- [crowd murmurs.]
- Are you done? Done.
Where's your juice? Ugh.
Yuck.
[laughter.]
[crowd.]
Oh! [laughter.]
Did I just do that? [upbeat music playing.]
Now that's how you do it.
[both vocalizing.]
I can't sing anymore.
When I try, it's a whisper and no roar.
I breathe in What if nothing comes out? I can't sing I'm not that girl from before I've lost my way I'm crawling blind on the floor I breathe in Emotion's filling my lungs I can sing My sharpest weapon's my tongue I can sing I can sing, I can sing There's no fear anymore When I try I can fly, I can soar, I breathe in Emotion filling my lungs I can sing, I can sing, I can sing - Wow.
- Welcome.
Let me do that.
Hey, we agreed.
No pity looks.
Just because I'm Tiny Tim again doesn't mean you should treat me differently.
Noted.
For real, this time.
So, how'd it go with your recruits? It had its ups and downs, but in the end, I think it worked out.
[Beckett.]
Here's the juice.
Close, but it's not quite there.
I'll explain later.
[Cassandra.]
Carly.
Be right back.
The Prima twins.
- C-squared.
- [Vanessa.]
Oh, no.
Carly is nothing like Cassandra.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
The first thing That I would say to you If you let me back in your life Wouldn't make up For what I put you through And wouldn't make everything all right

The first thing That I wouldn't say to you If you let me back in your life Wouldn't make up For what I put you through And wouldn't make everything all right Until you put it in a new light Now the worst time Seem like the best times of my life In hindsight We were just ordinary fools Waking up Stretching out to win whatever You can look it up No, you can't learn it in school It's just a love That would last for never It's just a love That would last for never That's what I was talking about.
That was That was something.
Even if you make it what you like Music always gonna make you Feel all right [indistinct chattering.]
[Beckett.]
Walk with me, slave.
Make me my juice.
This is not good enough.
Do you know who I am? I'm Cassandra, the Prima captain.
- I command you to be my friend.
- [laughter.]
[girl gasps.]
- Here's your juice, Your Majesty.
- You think you're so funny.
You know what else I think? If you weren't captain of the Primas, none of these people would put up with you.
You're just a sad little dancer, with no friends and no clue.
I'm her friend.
And if anyone doesn't have a clue, it's you.
Do you know how many people would kill to be in the Primas, and you act as if it's some joke.
Tell me.
What does juice have to do with dancing? Easy.
It's about paying your dues.
It's about starting at the bottom and working your way up, so that if you get to the top, you know just how hard that juice was to make.
[woman.]
Yeah.
The Primas are an institution at Keaton.
And if you can't respect that, then you're not worth the time to have it explained.
- [crowd murmurs.]
- Are you done? Done.
Where's your juice? Ugh.
Yuck.
[laughter.]
[crowd.]
Oh! [laughter.]
Did I just do that? [upbeat music playing.]
Now that's how you do it.
[both vocalizing.]
I can't sing anymore.
When I try, it's a whisper and no roar.
I breathe in What if nothing comes out? I can't sing I'm not that girl from before I've lost my way I'm crawling blind on the floor I breathe in Emotion's filling my lungs I can sing My sharpest weapon's my tongue I can sing I can sing, I can sing There's no fear anymore When I try I can fly, I can soar, I breathe in Emotion filling my lungs I can sing, I can sing, I can sing - Wow.
- Welcome.
Let me do that.
Hey, we agreed.
No pity looks.
Just because I'm Tiny Tim again doesn't mean you should treat me differently.
Noted.
For real, this time.
So, how'd it go with your recruits? It had its ups and downs, but in the end, I think it worked out.
[Beckett.]
Here's the juice.
Close, but it's not quite there.
I'll explain later.
[Cassandra.]
Carly.
Be right back.
The Prima twins.
- C-squared.
- [Vanessa.]
Oh, no.
Carly is nothing like Cassandra.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
The first thing That I would say to you If you let me back in your life Wouldn't make up For what I put you through And wouldn't make everything all right
