You know this is a game changer, right? You're really gonna love me after I introduce you to Clive Richie.
- He's coming to see us? - To sign us.
You've done TV.
You're an established brand.
Scarlett is a clean slate.
I can work with her.
I'll sign if you work out the right deal with my manager.
- Who's your manager? - Bianca Blackwell.
I believe we've met.
[Helsweel.]
In the Dance of The Seasons, the wind carries us through the warm breeze of summer to the cold chill of winter.
I'm the lead! If you're the lead, then I'm your understudy.
We're gonna have so much fun together.
I'm working on a painting concept, but I haven't found the true inspiration yet.
Work with me on it.
You'll be my muse, and I'll be yours.
There's something wrong with Helsweel.
[Vanessa.]
She was complaining about her eyes and not being able to see.
It was really scary.
She's gonna be okay.
[all sigh and chuckle.]
[Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" playing.]
- [gasps.]
- Jenna.
What are you doing? I thought she said skip.
We need Helsweel, bad.
This Seasons project was her vision, and now, we have nothing.
Oh, finally, you're here.
We need you to translate.
Sorry, it's just, um - Is everything okay? - Is it Helsweel? No, she's doing better, but I've been reading emails for her and I saw something.
Something like what? What? I may not run a gossip blog anymore, but gossip still runs me.
She's dating Mr.
Park, isn't she? I knew it.
It's Keaton.
We're on the list.
[gasps.]
Wait, uh, what list? We're getting shut down.
[sighs.]
After this year, Keaton's done.
["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 - Sign here, here, and here.
- [pen clicks.]
And then it's official? Bianca Blackwell is my manager? You should really read things before you sign them.
Wait, I need to We need to discuss something.
[cell phones chiming.]
What could this be? A TMK feature story? Let's read further.
[people chattering.]
"Keaton's very own starlet, Scarlett Dunn, has recently signed with world-renowned record label RTRA.
" [cell phone cameras clicking.]
- Did you tip them off? This is - Shh.
There's more.
"Scarlett will be repped by actress, singer, songwriter, manager, fashionista, Bianca Blackwell.
" - You are seriously the best manager ever.
- I know.
[woman.]
Yeah.
She really did.
Um, I Can I, um Spit it out.
She's a busy lady.
- [woman gasps.]
- Can I take a selfie with you? - Oh, boy.
- With little old me? Of course.
- [Bianca chuckles.]
- [cell phone camera shutter clicks.]
Okay.
[chuckles.]
Thanks, B.
I owe you one.
- You owe me five, actually.
- [cell phone shutter clicks.]
Just like RTRA, I have ground rules.
No social media posts until you run them by me first.
No releasing any music till RTRA has figured out your new sound.
- Definitely not, okay? - [girl.]
Scarlett? - Hold up.
- [cell phone shutter clicks.]
No extreme sports and no tattoos.
- No plaid - [Scarlett.]
Hey, you.
I'm sorry.
I don't believe we've met.
- Scarlett Dung, was it? - [chuckles.]
You're a dork.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No more photos.
The lighting, it's terrible out here, and Scarlett's hair has frizzed down.
Bye.
- Uh - Bye.
- [cell phone shutter clicks.]
- What the heck was that? The final rule, no boyfriends in public.
- What? - Sorry, Scar, those are the rules.
We're going on, we're going on, yeah Got your text.
Is everything okay? - No, everything is not okay.
- Oh.
Everything is great.
A buyer's interested in our painting.
- Seriously? - [chuckles.]
Seriously.
- Who is it? - We find out sometime today.
All I know is that a well-connected friend of Mr.
Patel's was at Keaton and fell in love with our piece.
- You're not messing with me, right? - I'm not that mean.
Patel's friend chatted with the buyer and he's interested in seeing it.
[giggles.]
- It's crazy.
- It gets crazier.
We have to finish the painting now and send a photo.
Then why are we wasting time talking? Let's get arty.
Told you we'd make a killer team.
It doesn't happen often, Matteo, but it looks like you were right.
[chuckles.]
First my ankle, then Helsweel.
The Primas disbanding, Keaton closing.
What is up with this year? Keaton's always been a dream.
If it shuts down We'll never get to dance in the Primas together.
Or Sloane's Crew.
- No Keaton graduation.
- No funishment.
- [sighs.]
- That one, I can do without.
- [sighs.]
- Oh, no.
Oh, we don't even live in the same school district anymore.
- We'd be - Separated.
[scoffs.]
This is literally the worst day of my life.
Whoa.
What is all this negative energy I'm feeling? You guys are supposed to be steaming, not fuming.
Yeah, well, some days it's hard to see the bright side.
Untruth.
Flip it over.
Spin the story.
Turn it around.
Find the - Keaton's shutting down.
- They're closing down Keaton.
[exhales.]
Keaton can't close.
This school is my whole life.
It's where I become unified with my center.
I don't know what that means, but us too.
So, what are we gonna do about it? - About? - The school shutting down.
Aren't you guys supposed to be Keaton's caretakers or something? - Keaton's keepers? - Exactly.
So, what are you waiting for? Get keeping.
She's right.
- [sighs.]
This is bigger than us.
- So much bigger.
- I don't even know where to start.
- Breathe, my little keepers.
Be one with the school.
It will come to you.
No public boyfriends? How is that even a real thing? It's aspirational.
The label wants you to appear single because your fans want you to be single.
- It's a part of the dream.
- [groans.]
I would know.
Once I was the dream.
My fans don't care if I have a boyfriend.
They just like my music.
Oh, yeah? Look at this post.
Curtis2001 writes, "How do I get in touch with Scarlett Dunn? I need to meet her.
" - Maybe he wants to tell me something.
- What about this one? ILoveScarlett writes, "I love Scarlett.
Sure hope she's single.
" Need I say more? Being in a healthy relationship can be aspirational too.
Aidan and I can be the next Will and Kate.
We could be ScarDan.
- That sounds like a skin cream.
- But you get what I'm saying.
What if ScarDan broke up? Do you really want to be one of those ripped heart photos on the cover of Us Weekly? You think I could be on the cover of Us Weekly? You're missing the point.
I didn't wanna have to tell you this, but After you posted that photo of you and Aidan, some mean comments popped up.
- What? It was humid outside.
- Not your hair, your boyfriend.
"Who's the dork? Eww.
Scarlett is so out of his league.
" Aidan doesn't care about social media.
- He's above all that.
- Perfect.
Then he won't mind if we delete this photo.
Oh, I don't know.
You can still be a couple, just not in front of people.
Small sacrifices are the price of success.
Is this really necessary? That depends.
How much do you wanna be famous? [sighs.]
No text yet.
How many times are you gonna check that thing? I'm excited.
Who do you think the buyer's gonna be? - Sotheby's? The AGO? - I don't know.
- But the suspense is - [cell phone beeps.]
[sighs.]
I'm too nervous.
You read it.
They didn't like it? Uh, that's not the problem.
Then? The buyer is some Swedish home furnishing place.
- Uh, Yor something - Yorya? Seriously? I used to get all of my bedroom furniture from there when I was a kid.
- Yorya wants to buy our art.
- Julie.
This is a lot of money, Matteo.
This is a game changer.
Not if we say no.
[chuckles.]
- Uh I don't - Yeah, we're artists, not sellouts.
This company's just gonna want to - mass produce our work.
- So? What's wrong with being popular? It's still our art.
We're gonna end up in every dentist's office, - every department store.
- Exactly.
We'll be making a name for ourselves.
You do know your worth.
You're better than this.
- We're better than this.
- Matteo, listen to me.
This offer will give me options for my future, options I don't have otherwise.
Everything wouldn't have to all depend on a scholarship for me to go to Juilliard.
- This would take the pressure away.
- Speaking of selling out.
Excuse me? How does going to one of the most prestigious schools in North America make me a sellout? 'Cause you're doing it for the wrong reasons.
Do you even wanna go, or you're just doing what people expect you to? So, what's your plan, huh? You're gonna sit around at home doodling? I'm gonna live like a real artist.
Maybe I'll I'll move to New York, work at a coffee shop, or maybe I'll do street art.
At least I'll be staying true to who I wanna be.
Who do you wanna be? I want to be a professional artist.
I wanna take this offer.
[tongue clicks.]
Well, it's not your painting.
It's our painting.
For me, it's a hard no.
We need to save Keaton.
We need to show everyone how great our school really is.
Count me in.
We need to make The Seasons project the biggest, best, most amazing dance we've ever done.
I'm gonna whoosh like I've never whooshed before.
[Beckett.]
Come on, guys, give it up.
The Titanic is sinking and you guys are still playing your musical instruments on deck? Run a raft and jump ship already.
They shouldn't have gotten attached to this place.
I shouldn't have.
How can you say that? Keaton's our home.
We need to save our home.
By getting a bunch of Grade 10s to do a dance? How is that gonna help anything? - He's right.
- Finally.
[sighs.]
- We need to think bigger.
- Not what I meant.
We need to involve the whole school.
If we can make The Seasons project interdisciplinary, epic, unignorable, the powers that be won't be able to shut us down.
We need to rally the troops.
- Who's with us? - [girl 1.]
Yeah.
- [girl 2.]
I am.
- [girl 3.]
Me.
- [girl 4.]
Me too.
- [boy.]
Me, too.
[all chuckle.]
There's something you need to tell me? That you're handsome.
Truth, but not what I was going for.
My face seems to have mysteriously disappeared from all your social media pages.
Oh.
That.
This is how you break up with all your boyfriends or Don't be silly.
It's just an online thing.
My manager and my label think that a boyfriend isn't part of my brand.
Are you being serious right now? - Yeah, but I'm doing it for us.
- Really? 'Cause it sounds like you're doing it for you.
Aidan, it's not like that.
It's just There are rules we have to follow.
Rules? No way.
[chuckles.]
Wait, listen.
I I'm not interested in being someone's secret boyfriend again.
I already went through that with Cassandra.
- That's not what I'm saying.
- Look, I get it.
You're Scarlett the Starlet.
But if I'm not part of your "brand", maybe I shouldn't be part of your life either.
You need a moment? I'm fine.
[knocking on door.]
Can I borrow Julie for a second? Julie's not here right now.
May I take a message? Julie? It's important.
It's about our painting.
Someone else is interested in buying it.
Come get me in a minute.
You have ten seconds.
What do you want? - We have a buyer.
- I know.
- A buyer you won't let us sell to.
- We have another buyer.
A more respectable buyer, offering even more money than the first.
That doesn't make sense.
Two in the same day? - That's impossible.
- Can you just enjoy the moment? This is real, okay? Own it.
Who is it? Someone from the Center for Arts and Innovation.
They want to display it in the lobby of the Visual Arts wing.
Seriously? - [chuckles.]
- So You in? Yes, of course.
One hundred percent, I'm in.
- [chuckles.]
- Julie.
I better get back.
- See you after school to celebrate? - You bet.
[chuckles.]
[clicking.]
No way.
[sighs.]
I broke the character down, but the motivation is confusing.
[Scarlett.]
Don't ever think I'm ashamed 'Cause that would bring me such pain Nobody knows me like you Don't make that face It's all true Whatever happens with us Don't let it all turn to dust Scarlett, no.
Don't break the rules on day one.
- Give me a chance - [Bianca.]
Come on! - To explain - Do you think this is funny? - Hey, give it to me.
- Prove I'm never ashamed [Bianca.]
Stop.
He is my Aidan - And he's the only one - [Bianca.]
Stop.
Who is my babe? Him And I won't stop till everybody knows I wanna be proud and free I could be someone to you And you could be perfect Perfect for me Hold on a second.
I'm not done.
He is my Aidan The one with the goofy grin Who's mine? He is Staying with me through thick and thin I'll tell the whole wide world That I'm his only girl You'll know he's perfect for me I wanna be perfect, perfect for him What? This rule breaker image might work nicely into Scarlett's brand.
- You're amazing.
- [chuckles.]
I know.
And so are you.
[girls.]
Aww Guys.
Hello? Everybody? You have to go to the dance studio, now.
[girl 1.]
Why? [girl 2.]
Wha? Dance Studio? - [people chattering.]
- Hey! [knocking on door.]
[groans.]
What is with all the interruptions today? This should be interesting.
- Yo, duckling.
- Dude, what is up? I need your help.
Actually, Keaton needs your help.
Come on.
Let's go! [whirring.]
[knocks on door.]
[guitar strumming.]
[knocking on door.]
[indistinct chatter.]
Guys, we need your attention.
This morning, we found out that Keaton is being shut down.
- [boy 1.]
What? - [boy 2.]
No way.
- Pardon? - [all.]
What? - No.
- No, that can't be real.
No way.
- [chattering.]
- No, no, no, no.
No way.
I'm student council pres.
, and I will not let this happen under my watch.
Good.
Because neither will we.
We need to prove to the school board, the trustees, the teachers, the donors or whoever necessary that Keaton is worth saving.
- [girl.]
Mm-hmm.
- [boy.]
Yeah.
We need to come together to create a multidisciplinary, multi-year project that no one can ignore.
- Because we aren't ordinary students.
- [boy.]
No.
We are Keaton students.
- [crowd.]
Yeah! - [girl.]
That's right.
I can help coordinate the dance.
I'll build sets.
All over the school.
It'll be [laughter.]
You guys can use any songs you want from my EP.
Yeah, mine too.
I'll bring in Clive Richie from RTRA.
We're kind of buds.
We can't let them shut us down.
We have to stay true to who we are.
- [boy1.]
Yeah.
- [boy 2.]
Yes.
How are you gonna stop us now? Our hearts like a drum keep beating [Vanessa and Scarlett.]
You think you can run with us? [all.]
But you've never been to Keaton Keaton! Keaton! We can light your fire And make your dreams a realization Roar like a lion Laughing, crying You've never been to Keaton.
Keaton! Keaton! I was wrong.
This isn't the Titanic.
We're Keaton.
And we don't jump ship here.
You think you can run with us? But you've never been to Keaton Keaton! Keaton! [chanting.]
[Julie.]
You missed the big rally.
Yup.
Too busy counting your money? [chuckles.]
What? - When were you planning on telling me? - Tell you what? That the buyer is actually your parents.
So? They love the painting.
Doesn't make it any less of a win.
Are you serious right now? Your parents run the board of the Center for Arts and Innovation, not to mention owning the biggest chain of art supply stores in the country.
How dare you accuse me of selling out? Coming from a rich family doesn't make you a sellout.
No.
It makes you a hypocrite and a fraud.
[scoffs.]
Listen to me.
Our painting is going to Yorya, whether you like it or not.
I don't care what you think of me.
I am not selling my art to some pathetic furniture store.
And I'm not taking handouts from a spoiled teenager's parents.
You think you're so much better than everyone.
But your opinions and your loyalties, they change on a dime.
You're you're a dancer, you're a painter, you're an activist.
But you know what, Julie Maslany, you try to become everything and in the process you became nothing.
If I'm nothing, so is this! [sobs.]
[sniffles.]
Drop it, drop it, drop Drop it, drop, drop, drop Drop it, drop, drop, drop - Drop it, drop, drop - Gotta get that money Drop it, drop it, drop Drop it, drop, drop, drop - Drop it, drop, drop, drop - Yeah Give it to me Gotta get that money Drop it, drop it, drop - Drop it, drop, drop - Get that money - Drop it, drop, drop, drop - Yeah Give it to me - Gotta get that money - Drop it, drop it, drop Drop it, drop - Gotta get that money - Drop it, drop, drop

Count me in.
We need to make The Seasons project the biggest, best, most amazing dance we've ever done.
I'm gonna whoosh like I've never whooshed before.
[Beckett.]
Come on, guys, give it up.
The Titanic is sinking and you guys are still playing your musical instruments on deck? Run a raft and jump ship already.
They shouldn't have gotten attached to this place.
I shouldn't have.
How can you say that? Keaton's our home.
We need to save our home.
By getting a bunch of Grade 10s to do a dance? How is that gonna help anything? - He's right.
- Finally.
[sighs.]
- We need to think bigger.
- Not what I meant.
We need to involve the whole school.
If we can make The Seasons project interdisciplinary, epic, unignorable, the powers that be won't be able to shut us down.
We need to rally the troops.
- Who's with us? - [girl 1.]
Yeah.
- [girl 2.]
I am.
- [girl 3.]
Me.
- [girl 4.]
Me too.
- [boy.]
Me, too.
[all chuckle.]
There's something you need to tell me? That you're handsome.
Truth, but not what I was going for.
My face seems to have mysteriously disappeared from all your social media pages.
Oh.
That.
This is how you break up with all your boyfriends or Don't be silly.
It's just an online thing.
My manager and my label think that a boyfriend isn't part of my brand.
Are you being serious right now? - Yeah, but I'm doing it for us.
- Really? 'Cause it sounds like you're doing it for you.
Aidan, it's not like that.
It's just There are rules we have to follow.
Rules? No way.
[chuckles.]
Wait, listen.
I I'm not interested in being someone's secret boyfriend again.
I already went through that with Cassandra.
- That's not what I'm saying.
- Look, I get it.
You're Scarlett the Starlet.
But if I'm not part of your "brand", maybe I shouldn't be part of your life either.
You need a moment? I'm fine.
[knocking on door.]
Can I borrow Julie for a second? Julie's not here right now.
May I take a message? Julie? It's important.
It's about our painting.
Someone else is interested in buying it.
Come get me in a minute.
You have ten seconds.
What do you want? - We have a buyer.
- I know.
- A buyer you won't let us sell to.
- We have another buyer.
A more respectable buyer, offering even more money than the first.
That doesn't make sense.
Two in the same day? - That's impossible.
- Can you just enjoy the moment? This is real, okay? Own it.
Who is it? Someone from the Center for Arts and Innovation.
They want to display it in the lobby of the Visual Arts wing.
Seriously? - [chuckles.]
- So You in? Yes, of course.
One hundred percent, I'm in.
- [chuckles.]
- Julie.
I better get back.
- See you after school to celebrate? - You bet.
[chuckles.]
[clicking.]
No way.
[sighs.]
I broke the character down, but the motivation is confusing.
[Scarlett.]
Don't ever think I'm ashamed 'Cause that would bring me such pain Nobody knows me like you Don't make that face It's all true Whatever happens with us Don't let it all turn to dust Scarlett, no.
Don't break the rules on day one.
- Give me a chance - [Bianca.]
Come on! - To explain - Do you think this is funny? - Hey, give it to me.
- Prove I'm never ashamed [Bianca.]
Stop.
He is my Aidan - And he's the only one - [Bianca.]
Stop.
Who is my babe? Him And I won't stop till everybody knows I wanna be proud and free I could be someone to you And you could be perfect Perfect for me Hold on a second.
I'm not done.
He is my Aidan The one with the goofy grin Who's mine? He is Staying with me through thick and thin I'll tell the whole wide world That I'm his only girl You'll know he's perfect for me I wanna be perfect, perfect for him What? This rule breaker image might work nicely into Scarlett's brand.
- You're amazing.
- [chuckles.]
I know.
And so are you.
[girls.]
Aww Guys.
Hello? Everybody? You have to go to the dance studio, now.
[girl 1.]
Why? [girl 2.]
Wha? Dance Studio? - [people chattering.]
- Hey! [knocking on door.]
[groans.]
What is with all the interruptions today? This should be interesting.
- Yo, duckling.
- Dude, what is up? I need your help.
Actually, Keaton needs your help.
Come on.
Let's go! [whirring.]
[knocks on door.]
[guitar strumming.]
[knocking on door.]
[indistinct chatter.]
Guys, we need your attention.
This morning, we found out that Keaton is being shut down.
- [boy 1.]
What? - [boy 2.]
No way.
- Pardon? - [all.]
What? - No.
- No, that can't be real.
No way.
- [chattering.]
- No, no, no, no.
No way.
I'm student council pres.
, and I will not let this happen under my watch.
Good.
Because neither will we.
We need to prove to the school board, the trustees, the teachers, the donors or whoever necessary that Keaton is worth saving.
- [girl.]
Mm-hmm.
- [boy.]
Yeah.
We need to come together to create a multidisciplinary, multi-year project that no one can ignore.
- Because we aren't ordinary students.
- [boy.]
No.
We are Keaton students.
- [crowd.]
Yeah! - [girl.]
That's right.
I can help coordinate the dance.
I'll build sets.
All over the school.
It'll be [laughter.]
You guys can use any songs you want from my EP.
Yeah, mine too.
I'll bring in Clive Richie from RTRA.
We're kind of buds.
We can't let them shut us down.
We have to stay true to who we are.
- [boy1.]
Yeah.
- [boy 2.]
Yes.
How are you gonna stop us now? Our hearts like a drum keep beating [Vanessa and Scarlett.]
You think you can run with us? [all.]
But you've never been to Keaton Keaton! Keaton! We can light your fire And make your dreams a realization Roar like a lion Laughing, crying You've never been to Keaton.
Keaton! Keaton! I was wrong.
This isn't the Titanic.
We're Keaton.
And we don't jump ship here.
You think you can run with us? But you've never been to Keaton Keaton! Keaton! [chanting.]
[Julie.]
You missed the big rally.
Yup.
Too busy counting your money? [chuckles.]
What? - When were you planning on telling me? - Tell you what? That the buyer is actually your parents.
So? They love the painting.
Doesn't make it any less of a win.
Are you serious right now? Your parents run the board of the Center for Arts and Innovation, not to mention owning the biggest chain of art supply stores in the country.
How dare you accuse me of selling out? Coming from a rich family doesn't make you a sellout.
No.
It makes you a hypocrite and a fraud.
[scoffs.]
Listen to me.
Our painting is going to Yorya, whether you like it or not.
I don't care what you think of me.
I am not selling my art to some pathetic furniture store.
And I'm not taking handouts from a spoiled teenager's parents.
You think you're so much better than everyone.
But your opinions and your loyalties, they change on a dime.
You're you're a dancer, you're a painter, you're an activist.
But you know what, Julie Maslany, you try to become everything and in the process you became nothing.
If I'm nothing, so is this! [sobs.]
[sniffles.]
Drop it, drop it, drop Drop it, drop, drop, drop Drop it, drop, drop, drop - Drop it, drop, drop - Gotta get that money Drop it, drop it, drop Drop it, drop, drop, drop - Drop it, drop, drop, drop - Yeah Give it to me Gotta get that money Drop it, drop it, drop - Drop it, drop, drop - Get that money - Drop it, drop, drop, drop - Yeah Give it to me - Gotta get that money - Drop it, drop it, drop Drop it, drop - Gotta get that money - Drop it, drop, drop
