I wrote a parody of musicals part 7

INT. -BALLET CLASS-DAY

A ballet class is going on and the ballerinas, wearing their tutu's, are holding onto the rail and doing a pleae. Drake sneaks in and looks to make sure no one's noticing him as he scurries out of there.

EXT. -BALLET CLASS-DAY

Drake walks out of the ballet class and sees a door going into the school kitchen. He walks around the halls trying to make himself unnoticeable but a bunch of students see him and look at him saying hi to him.

CHEERLEADERS (LOVINGLY)
Hi Drake.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
Hi girls.

He walks past the cheerleaders.

He walks past two guys, one guy in a high five position, ready to say hi to them.

STUDENT IN HALLYWAY
Yo Drakey boy, wazzup?!

Drake high fives him and walks past him.

Ricky and Pomerian walk up to him and look at him lovingly.

POMERIAN ERICKSON
RICKY ERICKSON
Hi Drake.

Ricky grabs his ass.

RICKY ERICKSON (CONT’D)

Nice ass, Drake.

He let’s go of his ass.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY
Hi Pomerian and Ricky. Don’t grab my ass again, Ricky, I’m not gay.

He walks past them. He sees the kitchen to the cafeteria. He walks up there, sneaks into the door and goes into the school kitchen.

INT. -SCHOOL KITCHEN-DAY

The lunchladies and cafeteria workers are reenacting the scene in High School Musical 2 where the kids sing "Work this Out". Drake sneaks in there and tries to make sure no one's paying attention to him.

EXT. -SCHOOL KITCHEN-DAY

Drake walks out of the school kitchen and sees doorsteps near the school kitchen. He walks down the steps to the last floor of the high school. He walks around the last floor but the background is a bunch of inner-city kids spraying graffiti on the walls. He sees the car shop class.

INT. -CAR SHOP CLASS-DAY

A bunch of greasers are on the car while a greaser is standing on top of the hood singing "Grease Lightning". Drake sneaks in and passes them.

EXT. -GENE KELLY HIGH-DAY

Drake runs out of the car shop which lead to an entrance outside the school. He runs to the school steps where a bunch of kids are hanging out and runs on the school steps.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH-DAY

The school is almost deserted. Drake runs back in the school. He starts walking again and passes the auditorium then runs into a hallway near the auditorium. In the hallway is an exit out of the auditorium. A sign above the door says "Back in". He walks into the auditorium through the exit.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM BACKSTAGE-DAY

Drake runs into the backstage of the auditorium through the exit doors which have the sign "Exit" above it and sees a trashcan and hides behind it. He takes out a peice of gum and unwraps it. He puts the peice of gum in his mouth and throws the paper in the trash can.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA(O.S.)(WHISPERS)
Hey asshole, watch where you're putting that thing!

Drake is surprised to hear Domonique's voice because he can't see her.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY(WHISPERS)
Domonique?

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA(O.S.)(WHISPERS)
Hi Drake.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY(WHISPERS)
Domonique, where are you?

Domonique pops up out of the trashcan.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA(WHISPERS)
I'm in the trashcan: what are you doing here?

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY(WHISPERS)
Watching the auditions then maybe getting up the courage to audition myself.

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA(WHISPERS)
Me too: is that why you're whispering.

DRAKE MCPRETTYBOYTOY(WHISPERS)
Yes...is that why you're whispering?

DOMONIQUE LOPENZIA(WHISPERING) (CONT’D)
No, I'm whispering because I killed somebody...no, I'm just kidding, that's why I'm whispering.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

Students are sitting in rows of seats waiting to watch the auditions and talking. They are facing the auditorium stage. The judges, Mr. Jackson, who looks alot like Randy Jackson and Ms. Abdul, who looks alot like Paula Abdul are sitting behind a bench near the stage waiting for the other judge, Ms. Cowell, to come. There's an empty seat right next to where Ms. Abdul is sitting where Ms. Cowell is supposed to be sitting. In the background, there is a door. Casey Neilson, the short, nerdy pianist with low self-esteem is standing by the door waiting to tell the students “good luck”.

CASEY NEILSON
Good luck, everybody!

The kids who are auditioning come in and keep hitting the door on her. After it's done 4 times, she thinks it's done and over with. Then she sees it’s not over.

CASEY NEILSON (CONT’D)
Oh no, not again!

She starts running away but before she passes the other door, that door opens and she gets hit with it. After the door closes, Casey is on the ceiling flat as a a pancake. The judges are still waiting for Ms. Cowell to come in.

MR. JACKSON
Yo dog, where da hell is da nasty brit? We need to get this show's groove on if you know what I mean and we can't get it on without the nasty brit.

Ms. Abdul looks at him weirdly.

MS. ABDUL
What?

MR. JACKSON
I'm trying to talk black-see, I'm the black guy.

MS. ABDUL
Well, Randy, you're not doing a really good job at it. I mean, I like you and all but I just couldn't believe for a second that you were trying to sound gangsta.

MR. JACKSON
Okay, you can be judgemental now, but when the auditions start you have to be the impressionable bubbly chick who's really crazy, okay?

Ms. Cowell walks in and Ms. Jackson and Ms. Abdul look at her.

MR. JACKSON (CONT’D)
Damn! You late!

MS. COWELL
I know...I know...

She sits down on her seat and looks at them.

MS. COWELL (CONT’D)
Let's just get this over with, shall we?

INT. -HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL AUDITIONS THEME SONG

The Drama Club auditions theme song is played alot like the American Idol theme song but the logo says "High School Musical auditions" instead of American Idol.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Ryan Seacrest is on the stage talking to the audience. A "High School Musical" logo is at the bottom of the screen looking like the American Idol logo. In the background is a giant big screen T.V. being held up by wires and a flight of stairs near a curtain pull.

RYAN SEACREST
Hello, I am Ryan Seacrest, host of pretty much everything: welcome to the High School Musical auditions where we have taken 20 students dreaming of stardom and see which one of them has what it takes. And the only way they can win the role is by...

On the stage is a little hole with a sea of piranha's in it.

RYAN SEACREST (O.S.)
Swimming in a pool of piranhas and survive! Or...

A prisoner wearing a red jailer suit is being guarded by two policeman.

RYAN SEACREST(O.S.)
Avoid becoming Big Chuck's bitch! Or...

Tilla Tequilla is standing on stage with her mouth open spraying breath refreshner in her mouth.

RYAN SEACREST(O.S.)
Having a shot at love with Tilla Tequilla!

She puts the breath refreshner down.

TILA TEQUILLA
I just broke up with my couch because he found out I was cheating on him with Chester, my dog.

Ryan Seacrest is on screen again.

RYAN SEACREST
Or watch E! News weekdays 7&11 p.m. Eastern and Saturdays at 7 P.M. eastern.

Ryan chuckles.

RYAN SEACREST
I'm just kidding, we wouldn't do anything that harsh. The contestants actually just sing to get in the show. But who is it? Who will be in the musical and get stardom while the other works in Burger King?

There is an audience of 300 members watching the auditions. Push-button polls pop up from behind the seats.

RYAN SEACREST (CONT’D) It's up for you to decide, America! Now let's go to our first contestant...she's a fat girl with big dreams of stardom: Everybody, please welcome, Jennifer!

The lights go down and the big-screen T.V. turns on with Jennifer in an interview room.

INT. -INTERVIEW ROOM-DAY

Jennifer is sitting in a seat in an interview room behind a big screen T.V.

JENNIFER WHITE
Hi, I'm Jennifer White and I want to win atleast one of the roles in the High School Musical-in fact, ever since I was a little kid I've wanted to win a role in the High School Musical but now that I'm in High School I've finally got my chance to shine.

She smiles.

JENNIFER WHITE(CONT’D)
I am going to dedicate the song to my boyfriend who---

She sees her boyfriend cheating on her.

JENNIFER WHITE
Is cheating on me?

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

Jennifer's boyfriend is sitting in a seat making out with another girl.

INT. -INTERVIEW ROOM-DAY

Jennifer is sitting in a seat in an interview room behind a big screen T.V. Now she's angry because she just saw her boyfriend cheating on her.

JENNIFER WHITE (CONT’D)
Oh hell no! You know, I was dedicating this to you out of love but now I'm dedicating this song to you out of hate!

She gets up and she looks at him and tries to lunge to him but security guards come and push her back.

JENNIFER WHITE(SHOUTING) (CONT’D)
You hear me, you bastard, I hate you! How could you do this to me, you mother-----!

The screen turns off.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The audience is a little freaked out by what they saw.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Ryan Seacrest, a little freaked out by what he saw, is standing on the stage.

RYAN SEACREST
Well, um, here's Jennifer everybody.

The curtains start to open as Ryan leaves.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The audience clap their hands.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Jennifer White is standing on the stage about to sing the song for the High School Musical, "Then There was You" dressed like Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls. Casey Neilson is sitting at the piano ready to play the tune of the song on the piano in the background. She looks at her boyfriend. A subtitle says at the bottom "Jennifer White, 14”. Casey starts playing the tune on the piano and Jennifer starts singing.

JENNIFER WHITE(SINGING)
(Singing “Then There was You” like she is singing “And I Am Telling You”)

Carly stops playing on the piano and the song ends. The audiences clap.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The judges aren't as impressed as the judges but Mr. Jackson and Ms. Abdul are still pretty impressed while Ms. Cowell isn't impressed at all.

MR. JACKSON
Yo girlfriend, you got a future in this business, dawg!

MS. ABDUL
I gotta say...it was pretty good. Hell, I wish I could sing that good: I wish I could rip out your vocal chords and put them in mine because, even though I'm a good dancer, my singing kind of sucks.

MS. COWELL
It was...

The audience boo's. After they boo, Ms. Cowell starts speaking again.

MS. COWELL
It was...

The audience boo's. After they boo, Ms. Cowell starts speaking again.

MS. COWELL
It was...

The audience boo's. Ms. Cowell gets annoyed with them. She turns around and looks at them madly.

MS. COWELL
Shut up and let me give my opinion! How the hell do you know what I'm going to say?!

She turns around and looks at Jennifer off-screen.

MS. COWELL
It was complete bullshit, The worst performance I've ever seen! Seriously, there have been many famous bad performances: Roseanne singing the national anthem...Janet Jackson showing her breasts at the super bowl...Britney's comeback at the MTV Video Music Awards...Bindi Irwin trying to rap...and as bad as all those performances were, none of them have even come close to how bad your performance was tonight.

The audience boo's.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Jennifer is really mad at Ms. Cowell's opinion. She breathes heavily and decides to stand up for herself.

JENNIFER WHITE
Well, I don't care what you say...I don't need the high school musical: I can achieve my dreams of stardom elsewhere. You know what I'm going to do...I'm going to go to Hollywood. I'm gonna star in a musical with Eddie Murphy and Beyonce. Then I'm going to star in a movie version of Lipstick Jungle!

She storms off madly. Her cell phone falls out of her pocket. She walks back in realizing her cell phone fell out of her pocket. She picks it up and puts it back in her pocket. She decides she's not done.

JENNIFER WHITE
Actually, I'm not done: I'm going to achieve stardom, you'll see...when you see my name in headlights, you're going to think, "Oh shit I should've realized she had potentional back when I saw her auditioning for the high school musical". You'll see!

A cane pulls her away off the stage. She walks back on.

JENNIFER WHITE
You'll all see! (As she's talking, a janitor comes with a handcart, uses it to put Jennifer on it then takes her away with the handcart) And I'm telling you! I'm going to be a star! One day, you'll all cheer for me!

Ryan is standing on the stage clapping for Jennifer.

RYAN SEACREST
Jennifer White, everybody! Now our next contestant is said to be the best dancer besides Pomerian and Ricky: now we couldn't get a clip of him because of timing purposes, but everybody, please welcome...Kevin Hamming!

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The audience clap their hands.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Kevin Hamming, who is dressed like Kevin Bacon and Zac Efron's character in Footloose, wheels in on a wheelchair because of an accident which made him into a cripple. A subtitle at the bottom says “Kevin Hamming, 17”
ALBURQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The audience and the judges look disturbed.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Ryan claps slowly then stops clapping altogether. He looks at Kevin.

RYAN SEACREST
Hey Kevin, I thought they said you were the best dancer in the school besides Pomerian and Ricky.

KEVIN HAMMING
I am.

RYAN SEACREST
But...you’re a cripple.

KEVIN HAMMING
Oh, this...yeah, I was dancing on a stage then fell off the stage and went into a coma for a week then it turned out I was okay except I broke my legs but, you know what, I may be a cripple but I can still dance...

RYAN SEACREST
Okay, well, let’s see what you got...

Ryan leaves. Casey starts playing the tune to Footloose. Kevin takes his legs and moves them around a bit to make it look like he’s dancing.

KEVIN HAMMING (SINGING)
Footloose...
Footloose...
Don’t know the words to the song!
Just know the tune!
A very upbeat tune!
Yes it is!
The tune is very good!
Footloose...
Footloose...
Footloose!

He nervously smiles.

KEVIN HAMMING (CONT’D)
So, how was that?

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The judges aren’t very impressed at all.

MR. JACKSON
Yo dog, I know you can’t help it but dat sucked, sorry...I had to say it.

MS. ABDUL
Kevin, I like you, you seem like a nice person, but, I don’t know, even I can’t say that was good: and I’m usually pretty optomistic about this stuff because I’m getting paid to but you’re just not as talented as you used to be.

MS. COWELL
Kevin, what the hell made you think you had a chance at doing this?! What I just saw was probably the stupidest thing since a worst movies list in a video store! What I saw just flashed “You’re an idiot” in my eyes. I’m sorry but, you’re performance was horrible!

The audience boo’s.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Kevin is sad that his performance didn't get good reviews.

KEVIN HAMMING
Yeah, well, maybe I can't dance anymore, but, um, I can do that!

RYAN SEACREST
What's "that" exactly?

KEVIN HAMMING
I have no idea, I just no it isn't dancing!

He rolls off the stage while the song "Never" by Moving Pictures plays on in the background.

INT. -WAITING ROOM-DAY

The song "Never" is still playing on in the background. Jennifer is sitting in the waiting room reading an Entertainment Weekly magazine. Kevin wheels in and does the punch dance scene from Footloose on the wall. He ends up ripping a peice on the wall and banging it on the wall repeatedly out of anger.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

The song stops. A girl is on the stage singing “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina” from Evita looking and dressing exactly like Madonna did in that movie. A subtitle at the bottom says "Susan Ritchie, 15"
Albuquerque, New Mexico

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The audience and judges look really bored watching the performance. Ms. Cowell sees the stairs in the back of the stage and gets an idea.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

As the girl continues to sing, Ms. Cowell gets on the stage and walks to the stairs. She walks up the stairs and walks to the curtain pull. The singer continues to sing when the curtain comes crashing down on her and she falls down flat on her face.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

Ms. Cowell is not at her seat but Mr. Jackson and Ms. Abdul are still at their seats.

MR. JACKSON
Yo dog, I have to say, why is that two students haven’t followed the rules and sang their own songs instead?! Read the poster, bitch!

MS. ABDUL
Wow, I have to say, you looked alot like Madonna and sang alot like her too...good job!

Ms. Cowell walks back in and sits down on her seat.

MS. COWELL
That’ll teach you to reenact a popular movie without changing a thing, bitch!

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Ryan is suddenly on the stage and the curtains are suddenly closed. Ryan is clapping his hands.

RYAN SEACREST
Now our next contestant is a foreign exchange student who came all the way from the...get this...north pole to Albuquerque, New Mexico. No, he’s not an Eskimo, he’s a penguin!

He moves to the end of the stage. The curtains open up and the lights dim. The screen turns on to reveal the north pole.

INT. -NORTH POLE-DAY

The screen turns on to reveal the North Pole which is not filled with snow but actually looks like a beach. Cody Maverick, the penguin from Surfs Up, is surfing on a surfboard on the water. Santa Claus is lying on a towel getting a tan. A bunch of penguins walk into frame and waddle in a pack.

MORGAN FREEMAN (V.O.)
They waddle...and waddle...and waddle...and they never stop waddling...

Morgan Freeman gets into frame and looks at the screen.

MORGAN FREEMAN (CONT’D)
But they used to waddle in snow...then global warming melted the snow so now they waddle in sand.

A Penguin is sitting in a boat sailing off to Hollywood.

MORGAN FREEMAN (V.O.) (CONT’D)
Some of them have even had to move to Hollywood to get work in CGI movies. One of them is on a kids show for Nickelodeon.

The camera is centered on Morgan again. He shudders because he finds that embarresing. He looks at the screen.

MORGAN FREEMAN (CONT’D)
Our contestant, Grumbles Hearstrong, also happens to live here.

INT. -INTERVIEW BOOTH-DAY

Grumbles the penguin, who is actually a penguin, is sitting in the interview room talking to the camera.

GRUMBLES HEARTSTRONG
Hi, I’m Grumbles Heartstrong.

MORGAN FREEMAN (V.O.)
Hello Grumbles, I’m Morgan Freeman: can I ask you a few questions?

GRUMBLES HEARTSTRONG
Sure.

MORGAN FREEMAN (V.O.)
Question 1:Why do you want to be in the musical?

GRUMBLES HEARTSTRONG
Well, I love to dance, and you know there’s plenty of that in musicals...sometimes there are musicals where they only sing not dance but I tend to avoid them.

MORGAN FREEMAN (V.O.)
Question 2:What do you want to be when you grow up?

GRUMBLES HEARTSTRONG
Well, I wanna be a proffesional tap dancer...maybe if I become really famous I can make money off of it and become rich and famous: my family is in a bit of debt, in order to make ends meet they have to work all the way in Las Vegas where my mom works as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator and my dad works as an Elvis Presley impersonator.

MORGAN FREEMAN (V.O.)
Okay, now Question 3:Why do you wake up?

Grumbles thinks that question is a very personal question and doesn’t need to be asked.

GRUMBLES HEARTSTRONG
Umm, why do you ask? Because that's a very odd question not to mention very simple: I wake up the same reason everybody wakes up. Because at night you sleep and in the day you wake up.

MORGAN FREEMAN
Sometimes we ask random things so they audience can get to know you better.

GRUMBLES HEARTSTRONG
Oh.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

The screen turns off. The lights turn on and Ryan claps. He stops clapping.

RYAN SEACREST
Grumbles the penguin, everybody!

He walks off the stage. Grumbles is on the stage but he's very nervous about auditioning. There are subtitles on the screen saying "Grumbles Hearstrong, 15 in Penguin years".
North Pole, Diameter

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The audience and judges are waiting for him to do something.

MS. COWELL
So, Grumbles, can you please show us what you can do?

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Grumbles is still very nervous and fidgety. He takes a deep breath.

GRUMBLES HEARTSTRONG
Okay...

Grumbles starts tap dancing and he's tap dancing very good.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The audience and judges are impressed by his tap dancing.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Grumbles is now dancing like he's dancing in Bowfire while he plays irish music on the violin.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The audience and judges are getting really impressed by his dancing. Paula is dancing and clapping like a maniac.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Grumbles is now dancing to "The Caramelldansen" while the song plays in the background even doing the same dance to "The Caramelldansen". After dancing to the whole song, the song turns off and he bows.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The audience and judges clap out of enjoyment.

MS. COWELL
Even I think that was good...and I hate everything: now before we give our opinion, though, can we see you sing?

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Grumbles, nervous because he can't really sing, takes a deep breath and gulps. Casey starts playing "Then there was you".

GRUMBLES HEARTSTRONG(SINGING BADLY) (Singing “Then There Was You’)

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

As he continues to sing, the audience and judges are ducking under the table or their seats wearing army helmets. Ms. Cowell peaks up and looks at him.

MS. COWELL
Stop it...stop it...stop singing!

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Grumbles stops singing and looks at him.

GRUMBLES HEARTSTRONG
Sorry about that, I'm not a great singer!

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

Ms. Abdul peaks up and looks at him.

MS. ABDUL
Actually, you weren't that bad...try singing in a higher range.

Ms. Cowell looks at her madly.

MS. ABDUL (CONT’D)
What? It's the theatre, anything can happen...

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

Grumbles decides to give it another shot. He takes a deep breath.

GRUMBLES HEARTSTRONG
Okay, I guess I can try that. (Singing loudly but still very badly)
(Singing “Then There Was You”)

The windows break because his singing is so bad. The fire alarm rings. The judges and audiences run out of the building like their lives depend on it. Grumbles blows up at a right angle. He blows up at a left angle. He blows up a top angle. He blows up at a bottom angle. He blows up at a back angle. He blows up and it's all done with. Blood and guts are lying everywhere around the auditorium. The students nervously walk back into the rooms and take their seats followed by the judges who sit back at their panel and start judging Grumbles.

MR. JACKSON
Yo dog, I have to say, you're dancing was good and all but you're singing sucked...you like Britney Spears before she went crazy.

MS. ABDUL
Yeah, I have to agree with him, you were a very good dancer but you're singing...no: even I can't say it was very good.

MS. COWELL
You're singing was horrible!

The audience boo's.

MS. COWELL (CONT’D)
When I scream, I sound better than your singing. (Screaming)And when I scream, it doesn't sound very good!

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Ryan is on the stage clapping his hands. He stops clapping.

RYAN SEACREST
Now our next guests have been the stars in the musicals since Kindergarten, so why these other kids were auditioning, I have no idea. They're parents also own the local country club which all the students in this school have summer jobs at. So, without further ado,---.

He claps his hands.

RYAN SEACREST
Everybody, give a round of applause for Pomerian and Ricky!

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The audience and judges clap their hands.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Pomerian and Ricky, who is wearing Sanjaya's mohawk, walk on the stage holding microphones. A subtitle that says "Pomerian and her creepy twin who might be gay, 16" is on the bottom of
Albuquerque, New Mexico
the screen.

POMERIAN ERICKSON
Hi, I'm Pomerian Erickson and this is my brother, Ricky, who I have more talent in my little finger than.

Ricky, who is dressed like Ed Wood in an Angora Sweater, rolls his eyes.

POMERIAN ERICKSON (CONT’D)
Now, to sing the song, we won't need Casey to play the tune.

Casey, dumbfounded, looks at them.

CASEY NEILSON
What?!

Ricky is now wearing Sanjaya's long curly hair.

POMERIAN ERICKSON
Sorry Casey, but we don't need a piano player: we've got the AV team to help provide background music and lyrics for us to lip synch.

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

The spotlight goes on the av club in the background who are sitting behind an effects machine. They wave their hands.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Pomerian and Ricky, who's now wearing Sanjaya's curly short hair, are standing on the stage.

CASEY NEILSON
Wait, can you do that?

INT. -GENE KELLY HIGH AUDITORIUM-DAY

MS. COWELL
I don't think you can do that.

INT. -AUDITORIUM STAGE-DAY

Ricky is now wearing a Peter Pan hat.

POMERIAN ERICKSON
Were rich, we can do anything!

RICKY ERICKSON
We can fly!
