Instant Star (2004) s01e10 Episode Script

Picking a backup band to tour with is kinda like shopping for new best friends.
You should share the same kind of groove; you should look just a little bit cooler when you're around them And you should always want them close, but not that close.
Basically, what you want in a band is what you want in your best friends: Fun, dependability, no surprises.
I was just in the neighbourhood.
You're a liar.
You're checking up on me.
Hey, you're auditioning backup bands? 'Cause you should check out Spiederman's new band.
Under my sterling management, they've really come together, surprisingly.
All right.
I'll talk to Tommy about it.
Awesome.
Look, can I talk to you in private for a second? Yeah.
Sure.
Look, it's about Kat and I.
Or Yeah, Kat and I.
We That's sort of it.
We've become a "we".
We're dating.
I don't really know what to say.
Congratulations felicitations I-don't-hate-you-Jamie-ations? No, no.
I don't hate you.
Just wow! - You and Kat? - Yeah.
I'm just really surprised! But it's great.
Did I say something about no surprises? Congratulations.
It's awesome.
Mom, seriously, I'm not hungry.
You gotta eat, honey.
Jude, babysitter's here.
Good morning, Harrison women.
May I say, you all look effervescent! Did my eyes spot a tasty toasted pastry sitting alone? You can have it, Jamie.
But hurry, because we have an early meeting at G Major.
Tommy's willing to talk to you about maybe auditioning your band.
- Jude, are you serious? - Yeah, so come on.
Let's go.
You rock! Oh Jude, don't forget tonight's family night.
Friday night is always family night.
Just because your father left, it doesn't mean we just give up.
Mom, he didn't leave, okay? You kicked him out.
He cheated on her.
Family night, 6:00 p.
m.
It'll be fun.
Mark my words, this band will be huge.
The Spiderman Mind Explosion? It's Spiederman.
Look, I haven't been managing them that long, but they kick some serious rock'n'roll ass.
I wouldn't manage them if they didn't.
'Cause you've got so many offers.
Listen.
I know you and I haven't exactly hit it off.
But I'd really love it if you gave them a shot.
Because I've come to respect you as a songwriter, as a producer, as a man.
Okay, you're gonna have to stop 'cause I'm about to hurl.
But I have noticed how you've been looking out for Jude lately.
So I got a small studio back there.
It's free for a couple of weeks.
It's yours if you wanna use it.
My band's all set up, I've got a super cute girlfriend So, do I need to design myself a bullet-proof jean jacket? Nope.
Jude's cool with us going out.
I told you we had nothing to worry about.
Hey, I made you a mixed CD last night.
I call it pint-sized songs of romance.
Oh, Jamie.
This collage is so beautiful.
Oh, whoa! That's a lot of CDs.
Yeah, well, you know me.
Mix master Jamie.
Yeah, they're all different moods.
Different styles.
Different kinds of perfect.
Cool, yeah.
I should show you my Jamie collection from last summer.
Does he still do those really cool collage-y covers? So, Jamie told you the big news, huh? Yeah.
Totally.
I'm really happy for you guys.
Really.
I think it's really, really awesome.
It's great, really.
Hey, you guys haven't forgotten about sunday, right? School fashion show? You're modelling my stuff, remember? Yeah.
I've been practicing my modelling for months: Smoking and pouting, projecting an air of wanton sexuality.
Yeah, I have a mall performance on sunday, actually.
Sorry.
I just found out.
Don't be mad.
No, why would I be mad? I'm a little worried about her.
Yeah, me, too.
But bailing on my fashion show? I could snap her little neck.
Simmer down now, little tiger.
She has the mall-radio thingy.
She's totally upset.
Yeah, upset? Try overjoyed.
You're clearly not fluent in girl-speak.
Oh come on.
Like there is such a thing.
Girl-speak? Okay, what is girl-speak? It's the secret language of females, dude.
What you think is just chit-chat, is more like rat-a-tat-tat.
Dude, you've got yourself in a very precarious situation right now and you don't even know it.
Precarious situation? You're dating Kat.
The best friend of the girl you've always wanted.
I did that once.
Once.
We're having a conversation.
I'm just saying be careful.
I mean, you obviously have feelings for Jude.
Uh no.
The cruise ship for Jude desire has left the harbour.
Sayonara, baby! Bye bye! I'm all about Kat now.
So how was school today? Fine.
How was work? Good.
Look, finding the right musicians, it takes time.
We need patience, Georgia.
What we need is a band, Tom.
Jude has a "live-to-air" tomorrow.
I am getting a migraine.
Who is in studio C and will they please shut up? Maybe they just need a different song? A better song.
A song I wrote.
Jude, you're not serious? What? Okay, guys.
Follow me on this one.
Let's try it in G, okay? One, two, three, four.
A bona fide garage band playing with Jude? The press will eat this up.
Yes! They're awesome! Finally, some guys I can play with! You think you can get them ready in time? Well, I think they're seriously rough around the edges.
In fact, they're all edges.
But, I mean, I think I can make it work.
Jamie! You just got your band its first gig.
I'm telling you, you're looking at the next Brian Epstein.
Yeah.
John, Paul, George and Spiederman.
Hey, what do you think about that look for me? Perfect, if you're joining Motorhead.
What about this one? - Hey, what about that one? - Call me an idiot, but you're the last person I thought would want a makeover.
I know, but Jamie, sometimes a girl just needs a change.
I'm restless.
I feel like I need to break out or something.
Why? Because your dad left? Do you want to get a tattoo? - What? - Yeah.
No Oh, it hurts! Are you gonna get one, too? Oh oh no, sister.
Your flight into self-mutilation is entirely a solo affair.
What are you talking about? You've wanted a tattoo for years.
I also dreamed about defeating Godzilla in a battle for Tokyo.
It doesn't mean that's gonna happen.
Ah! Come on, Jamie.
You have to do this! For me! Oh, dirty pool, Harrison.
Dirty pool.
- Fine.
I'll do it.
- Awesome! You know how much I love you right now, Jamie? I love you so much it is killing me! Hey, remember me? I'm your girlfriend.
Hey Kat.
So glad you got my text.
Look, I'm sorry about yesterday, I just went awol.
There was just this emergency.
What happened? Come on.
Talk to me.
Jamie, are you hurt? I sorta got a tattoo.
That was the emergency? What? Were you abducted by crazed tattoo artists or something? No.
The emergency was Jude.
Kat you know how crazy she's been lately.
She's just had this sudden crazy impulse and I just wanted to make her happy.
Yeah, and me miserable, obviously.
Jude and I are just friends, okay? Please don't be mad.
But I am.
Look, Jude and I are having lunch today.
Why don't you join us, and hang out just like the three of us used to.
And then you can see that you have nothing to worry about.
So, did Jamie tell you that his band's going to be backing me up at my show today? No, but you know Jamie and I have the fashion show today, right? Oh yeah.
Shoot.
I totally forgot, Kat.
Sorry.
No problem.
I guess we'll just have to share him then.
Man, I've been so stressed lately.
It's been so great though, having Jamie there.
He's been such a big help.
I know.
He's such a dedicated guy, giving up so much of his time.
Yeah.
So you got a tattoo, huh? - Yeah.
- Wow! That is so rock'n'roll.
Yeah, well, you know Kat, sometimes you gotta live your life on the edge.
It was awesome.
It was so cool that Jamie went to get one with me.
Yeah.
Spiederman's not here, man.
Sent him to get guitar strings.
You all right, Emo? 'Cause I mean, if you wanna talk I guess I could listen.
I take that as a yes.
So how's your girl situation? Okay.
Not bad.
Total crap.
I think they're actually fighting over me.
It's classic female behaviour.
Girls always want what they can't have.
But that's beside the point, 'cause you're supposed to be over Jude.
I am.
Sorta.
Kinda.
Not even remotely.
Oh God! This can't be happening! Not now! Not when I'm supposed to be with Kat! Supposed to? You gotta want to be.
I do.
I adore Kat.
Then there's your answer, man.
Oh my God! I'm so late! Kat! Kat! I'm sorry.
I'm late, I know.
Look, I know I've been a little bit distracted lately.
But I'm here now, okay? And I'm gonna be the best model you've ever had in history.
Be ready to be amazed.
You amaze me all the time, Andrews.
Quelle surprise! It's Jude.
Jude, what's up? Jamie? Hi.
He's here.
He's actually here.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
- Who's there? - Dad! He's here and I can't go on with him out there.
What am I gonna do? Tell me what to do! Don't move.
I'll be right there.
Kat, I have to.
Her dad is there.
Look, look I can do this, okay? I can get down there, deal with her dad and be back in time, okay? Just trust me.
Hey, Mr.
Harrison.
Hey Jamie, how are you? Can I? What? What? What? What is it? Look, I'm sorry, but you have to go.
Jamie I've known you since you were in diapers, okay? You used to call me uncle Stu.
You can't talk to me like that.
I have to.
I know it's going to be hard for you.
This isn't about me, Jamie, it's about Jude.
Now, she needs to know that I am still here for her and she needs to see it.
What she needs is time.
You should know that.
You know her better than almost anyone.
You know, Jamie, I Wish her luck for me, okay? You bet.
Crisis averted! He's gone.
Jude, it's gonna be okay.
Is it? How do you know? Why'd he have to wreck everything? I just miss him.
I hate him, but I miss him so bad.
Jude? It's showtime.
It's gonna be great, okay? Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats for the fourth annual Carlson Hill fashion show.

I haven't been answering.
I've been deciding what I'm gonna say to you.
Look, I went into this knowing I was number two.
But I thought maybe, someday, I could become number one.
But I was wrong and that hurts so much.
I made this for you.
I was gonna give it to you after today.
Kat! Kat, wait! Hey.
There he is.
My hero.
Spiederman's band totally rocked.
Come on, eat some pizza.
We got celebrating to do.
What's wrong? What happened? Nothing.
Kat just dumped me.
What? Are you kidding me? Why? Why can't you tell me? Right.
It's 'cause of me? I was totally getting in between you guys.
So what're you gonna do about Kat? I mean, we can go talk to her.
I think she's already call-blocked us.
Well, then you go over there.
Come on, I can go with you.
Jamie-- It's not a good idea, okay? She doesn't wanna see either one of us right now.
I'll call her tomorrow.
Hey, I know what'll cheer you up.
We have some tattoos to unveil.
Are you ready? Can you promise me something? Can you promise that, no matter what happens, we'll always stay best friends like this, forever?
