"They say I should try to fit in But I don't care" "I'm living my life just the way I like" "They say I get a little too loud" "Try to push me in a box, over analyze" "But I'm never gonna turn it down" "They say stop, but I say go" "Don't tell me what I gotta do" "Who I wanna be is for me to choose" "No wrong moves 'cause I just don't have the time" "Don't tell me what I gotta do" "'Cause it's up to me, it's not up to you" "If I wanna go crazy no one's gonna stop me tonight" "Oh, no" "Yeah" "Hey" "Why should I bend into what I'm not?" "But they say someday I might get a real job" "Hey, that's the wrong verse." "That's not what I wrote." "I'm not about to compromise who I am Just so I can blend right in" "They wanna see a cardboard cutout Well, that's a fight they just can't win" "They say yes, and I say no" "Don't tell me what I gotta do" " Who I wanna be is for me to choose" " Love you, Nikko!" "No wrong moves 'cause I just don't have the time" "FLUX" " NIKKO ALEXANDER with special guests" "Don't tell me what I gotta do" "'Cause it's up to me, it's not up to you" "If I wanna go crazy no one's gonna stop me tonight" "Oh, yeah" "I don't see what the big deal is." "Joey Rome used to smash guitars in that same club back in the eighties." "Yeah?" "Well the difference is Joey Rome was a rock star, okay?" "And Herringbone had a hit album." "They were high school students buying their own equipment." " Come on." " Okay no, that amp was ruined, Nikko." "Yeah, but you have to admit it was a great performance, though." "Right?" "See, it's all about him." "We talked about this at the meeting." "He showboats." "He shows up late, he breaks equipment" " Wait, what meeting?" " We had a band meeting." "Without me?" "It's my band!" "No, no, it was your band." "Okay?" "It's not anymore." "Yeah, we agreed that if you screwed up again," "It was in everyone's best interest to cut you loose." "C'mon, man!" "This has been our dream since third grade!" "Your songs, my pipes!" "I gotta do what's best for the band." "Fine." "Do whatever you want." "I still got the best voice and the hottest girlfriend in town." " Come on, babe." " Nikko." "Who do you think called the meeting?" "Look, if it makes you feel any better, I was gonna break up with you anyway." "Ouch, the double dump." "The girlfriend and the band in one brutal blow." "Nils?" "I'm sorry, man." "Oh yeah?" "Well, I'm better as a solo act anyway!" "You guys are just holding me back!" "Wow." "That looked painful." "Which part?" "The part when my band stabbed me in the back or my girlfriend turned the knife?" "Either." "Both." "I'm Courtney Lane." "Can I talk to you for a minute, please?" "I'm not really in the mood to socialize, thanks." "Just five minutes." "Please?" "It's not like you have anything better to do." "That's not what I meant." "I know you just want me to cut to the chase" "And I'm not going to say I believe in fate, although I do," "But isn't it an amazing coincidence that you got kicked out of your band" "The same night I show up needing a lead singer?" " Yeah, amazing." " I know this is a difficult time for you," "But you were the perfect fit." "Well, you're not exactly the perfect fit" "You're a little rougher on the edge but I'm sure I can whip you into shape." "Look, Ms. Lane, no offense, but I had it up here with bands." "Oh, not a band, no!" "It's a group." "It's the group." "The absolute best." "Better than best." "Spectacular!" "Okay, ease off the throttle, here." "What's the name of the band?" "I just told you." "Spectacular!" " The name of the band's Spectacular?" " Uh-huh." "What, did you guys lose a bet?" "I'm not expecting you to sign on until you see us in action." "There's a showcase tomorrow at the fair grounds." "Unfortunately, you're gonna have to sit Through our rival group, "Ta-Da"." " Ta-What?" " Ta-Da." "Like guessing, "ta-da."" "Look, I appreciate the offer, but why did you play with your hands?" "The show's at 5 o'clock." "I made you a map." "I'm really not interested in some battle of the weird-name bands, okay?" "Nikko Alexander is a solo act now." "Nikko Alexander is more than a solo act." "Nikko Alexander is a star." "Or could be, with the right support and audience." "We set them up, you knock them down." "Hundreds of fans screaming your name." ""Nikko!" "Nikko!" "Nikko!"" "Your band has a forum like that?" "Not a band!" "It's a group." "C'mon, it'll be fun!" "It's a fair!" "Bumper cars, snow cones, fun ol' cakes." " I'm familiar with fair." " And the show?" "It'll take your mind off the... what do you call?" "The double dip?" "The double dump." "And thank you for bringing it back up." "Just come check us out." "Please." "Say yes." "I'll think about it." "You won't regret it!" "I promise you've never seen anything like it." "Prepare to be blown away!" "It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight" "Rising up to the challenge of our rival" "And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night" "And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger" "Rising up, straight to the top" "Had the guts, got the glory" "Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop" " Ow!" "Just a girl and her will to survive" " You okay?" "Hey, hey." "Here you go." " Thanks." "That's Spectacular?" "I know." "How the mighty have fallen, right?" "And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night" "And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger" "Of the tiger" "What a joke!" "Eye of the tiger" "Eye of the tiger" "Give it up, Ladies and Gentlemen, for Spectacular!" "Yeah" "Last Year's American Federation of Jazz Choir Special Championship Runner-Up" "Want to see the other performance?" "Watch this." " The show ain't over yet, folks." " Nice" "Thank you." "So the turn was a little late the pas de bourrée was out of sync and all there was flounds, sync, and chords, but you can definitely see the talent, right?" " I definitely saw something." " The champions of the Federation," "Ta-Da." "Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river" "Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea," "You lay your bets and then you pay the price" "The things we do for love, the things we do for love." "Like walking in the rain and the snow When there's nowhere to go" "And you're feelin like a part of you is dying" "Royce used to be our soloist, until that scheming Tammi, stole him away for Ta-Da." "I wouldn't get into it." "Okay, so let me introduce you to the gang." "Nikko, this is Spectacular." "Spectacular, this is Nikko." "Hi." "What do you think?" "You know, my grandmother once told me:" ""If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all", so ..." "So maybe I exaggerated a following teensy-bit, but the county fair has a notoriously tough audience, Nikko." "Sure, it can be with corn dogs and lifestyle." "Let him go, Courtney." "He obviously didn't appreciate our performance." "Well, I do know that whatever it is you were doing, those guys do it a whole lot better than you do." "The only reason Ta-Da beat us in the Nationals last year is because Royce pushed the envelope left the stage to sing to the judges." "Spectacular is just as good show choir as Ta-Da." "Yah!" "What is up with your hands?" "And for that matter, what's show choir?" "Show choir is a competitive chorale singing with elements of dance and theatrical costuming." "It is an art form which combines musicianship, showmanship and choreography." "See, I feel as cool just knowing that." "Nikko, I'm offering you a chance to represent our school." " Do we go to the same school?" " Yes, we do!" "There's money." "The prize in Nationals is $10,000." "We need a male soloist." "I'd be willing to give you a quarter." "Let me see. $2500 versus public humiliation and lifetime of ridicule?" " Uh, no." " Half!" "$5000!" "Unbelievable." "I'm not even a rock star yet, And you already want me to sell out?" "No, thanks." "I don't want your money, I don't want to join your group" "And I definitely never want to dress like that, okay?" "Fine." "Who needs you anyway, Nikko?" "And by the way, these are called jazz hands!" "The things we do for love" "The things we do for love, The things we do for love" "The things we do for love" "How about that, ladies and gentlemen?" "Ta-Da!" "Aren't they something else?" "Very nice." "I told you." "There was no such thing as a perfect male soloist." "Mr. Voice is a myth." "Like the Loch Ness monster." "Loch Ness monster's real." "Last Year's Champion is Ta-Da!" "There you go." "Tammi and Royce, isn't that sweet?" "For the land of the free" "And the home of the brave!" "I thought you invited me over for a sleepover." "Shouldn't we be popping porpcorn or calling cute boys?" "Show choir takes presidence over cute boys." " Well, unless they can sing." " Hi, girls." "No time to talk, Mom." "We are officially in disaster mode." "So I have divided all the submissions into three categories:" "Tone deaf, two left feet and insufficiently Spectacular." "Insufficiently Spectacular being the best." "I guess we're gonna have to use Caspian." "You guys will do fine, but Courtney..." "Mom!" "Fine is fine if you just want to be a finalist." "I need a star." "I need a Royce!" "It's funny you should mention him." " One more time." " Tammi, I got everything." " Okay." " Uh, excuse me?" " What are you doing?" " Courtney." "Hi." "Royce!" "Don't engage with her." "It's not enough that sabotage us by stealing our soloist" "Now you have to take our costumes too?" "Ta-Da didn't steal anybody." "Royce simply made a career move" "Based on the optimal environment to showcase his unique talents." "We almost beat them last year." "Yeah, "almost" doesn't win a trophy, Courtney." "And besides you and me, all Spectacular's best performers graduated last year." "I mean, you can't blame me for betting on a different horse." "Royce!" "Engaging!" "Well, we need our costumes." "Spectacular earned these last semester." " The car wash, the bake sale." " Oh, please." "You think you earned $3,000 worth of costumes by selling $300 worth of snicker doodles?" "Yeah, my parents kind of bought them." "Wake up, Courtney." "This is how things are done in the big leagues." "The Du Lacs donated these." "And neither I'm donating them." "Hey!" "No, no, no!" "Not the hoodies!" "Our cookie money bought hoodies!" "Royce!" "Tammi?" "Really?" "Okay, so forget about cute boys." "All they do is break your heart and take everything, including the hoodies!" "Ta-da!" "Oh, honey, it's gonna be okay." "No, it's not, Mom!" "We lost Royce." "And now we lost our costumes." "How do we do "Eye Of The Tiger" without the tiger pants?" "Then you'll find a new song and a better singer than Royce because you can do anything you set your mind to, okay?" "I believe in you." "And so does Janet." "Yeah, well, Janet believes in Big Foot." "In Nepal, they call him a Yeti." "Hey Bro." "Hey." "In the closet or in your room." "I'm not your maid." "There, it's in my room." "Happy?" "Aren't you a bundle of joy today?" "." " What's up?" " Nothing." "They kicked me out of the band." "Yes!" "Thanks Stavros." "You sympathy is really quite touching." "Look, I know this bites right now, but trust me, this is good." "Now you can focus on your future." "Great!" "Can I get a mick job like you?" "Because that would be awesome." "Hey, my mick job pays the mick rent and the mick health insurance." "Don't knock it unless you're about to start helping around here." "And I know you're my baby brother, but you can take the garbage out out every once in a while." "Sorry, Stavros." "I know you gave up a lot for me." "But this is my future we're talking about." "Nikko, do you know the odds against making it as a musician?" "Even if you don't get kicked out of your own band?" "I don't care." "Plus, It'll be easier to audition for Rich Dickinson as a solo act anyway." "You got an audition with Rich Dickinson?" "The producer?" "Well, yeah." "I mean, practically." "How hard can it be?" "Right!" "He's just sitting in his office waiting for a high school student with no recording experience to just show up." "I'm sure he's got nothing better to do with his time." "Come on." "Eat." "Hi." "I'm here to see Rich Dickinson." "No one sees Mr. Dickinson without an appointment." "I have an appointment. 1 o'clock." " You're splattered Brains?" " Yeah, that's me!" "Listen up, Tackies!" "I have some exciting changes for everybody." "Caspian, downstage left." "Aye, aye, Captain!" "Not that I don't totally respect your decisions, Courtney, but are you sure Caspian's the right choice for "Eye Of The Tiger"?" "We're not doing that song anymore." "Our costumes have suddenly become "unavailable"." "I should immediately initiate a search for replacements" "Which will pay for how?" "I can't do another car wash, Courtney." " This cast can't get wet." " Don't worry about him." "I'm taking care of it with our faculty adviser." "Right, Mr. Romano?" "What?" "Uh, yeah..." " Yeah, whatever you uh" " I cannot believe what I am seeing!" "Some fairies hoodlum has stolen our finery from material gain." "Look!" "There is a link!" "Hi Ta-Da fans!" "As you probably already heard," "Royce Du Lac has joined the Ta-Da family and brought his fabulous voice with him." "So, for the daily dose of the best show choir in the whole wide world," "Royce was the shining sun around with Spectacular orbit." "Not to be all totally glass half-empty, but maybe it's time to put Spectacular to pasture." "You're right." "I mean, sure, show choir's a good way to get boys to notice you without risking your neck in a stupid cheerleading pyramid." "And it does take care of that pesky elective requirement without having to join the marching band or debate or sports." "But it's also a way to shine to be the center of attention." "Show choir isn't about who's got the best pedigree or website, it's about who's the best on stage." "We can beat Ta-Da." "We will beat Ta-Da." "Who's with me?" "Why are you standing around?" "Rehearsal." "Come." "Come." "Ready." "I collect the portfolio." "Nice speech, but we're still gonna get disqualified for performing naked." "We'll find costumes." "I'm not about to compromise who I am Just so I can blend right in" "Great, come on in." "What do you think?" "Splattered Brains?" "Actually it's just me, Nikko Alexander now." "I'm a brand name." "Right, your sound reminds me the rock and roll glory days, back when guys like Iggy Pop, and Joey Rome and the Clash were still the real bands." "Thank you, sir." "Unfortunately, I need more than my sense of nostalgia to sell you." " You need a great demo." " A demo?" "No, a great demo." "I may have a platinum ear, but this guy upstairs got the gold checkbook." "Mr. Dickinson?" "Splattered Brains is here." "Well, you definitely got spunk, kid." " You got a band?" " Used to." "I had cut loose." "They couldn't hack it." "Well, don't worry." "I will give some pros." "Let's see, studio time, session players, engineer, mixer." "We can connect you for less than five." "Five hundred?" "Five thousand?" "Hey, what if I bring my own band?" "What, the ones that couldn't hack it?" "Yeah, no thanks." "I'll settle the band." "Can you get that kind of dough?" "Yeah, I think I know a way." "So, I made a matrix of all the songs these judges have voted for over the past four years." "Hall  Oates is a reocurring theme as is Wham and a song from Top Gun." "I enjoyed that film's viceral scenes of air combat." "Court, I don't want to renew the sudoku puzzle here, but who will sing the guy's part of those songs?" "I told you Janet, we're just gonna have to rotate the male's tacky voice as closest to the song." "Or you could just let me sing." "The offer has officially expired, but thanks for stopping by." "I thought you guys need a singer." "But you can have it the real deal." "Well, if you don't graduate, maybe you can audition next year, okay?" "From the top, everybody." "Well." "Okay, and step, touch..." "RICH DICKINSON" " APEX RECORDINGS" "Step, touch, kick, ball change, and and slide." "And step, touch, step, touch..." "Well, well." "Focus, like we did this morning." "Step, touch, step, touch, kick, ball change and slide." "When slide, put your arms out, And slide." "Okay, step..." "So you're the girl I heard the rumor" "You got the boys wrapped around your finger" "Such a sweet heartbreaker" "If you're the game, I want to be the playa" "Oh, you can do whatever you want" " It's alright with me" " I'll be right back." "Why don't you break my heart" "Make it hurt so bad" "Come on give it your best, nonetheless I insist, I want it just like that" "Why don't you break my heart" "Sounds good to me" "Do it over again, again, again Just what I need" "Why don't you break my heart" "Yeah, break it" "Stare me down, intimidate me" "Baby please, you'll never break me" "Bring it on, cause I can take it" "You're so cool, the way you play it" "Oh, you can do whatever you like" "It's alright with me" "Why don't you break my heart" "Make it hurt so bad" "Come on give it your best, nonetheless I insist, I want it just like that" "Why don't you break my heart" "Sounds good to me" "Do it over again, again, again Just what I need" "Why don't you break my heart, yeah" "Break it" "Come on, break my heart" "Why don't you break my heart" "Sounds good to me" "Do it over again, again, again Just what I need, yeah" "Why don't you break my Why don't you break my" "Why don't you break my heart" "Yeah" "Okay, okay." " You're in." " Yes!" "On a trial basis." "I still have the deal, right?" "Half the prize money?" "If we win." "And that means you work." "Every practice." "Every day." "And we don't just singing here, Nikko." "We also dance." "Are you coming?" "Stay in the back and follow along." "Five, six." "Five, six, seven, eight." "Hold." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight." "And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight." "And..." "Problem?" "It's our simplest routine, okay?" "Five, six, seven, eight, step, kick, pas de bourre, step, ball change, drag, soutenu." "Nikko." "Nikko!" "This stuff is so stiff!" "Why can't we just dance?" "I don't know." "Why can't you?" "Maybe because I'm not a dork dance robot?" "You know, in the eighties rock stars would put garden snake in their pants to teach them to wiggle their hips." "Never mind." "It was a different era." "From the top, please." "Probably start with some more indie, and then go commercial much more audiences, stadiums." "Excuse me, can I talk to you for a minute?" "Publicist." "Isn't it bad enough that you humiliate me in practice" "And now you have to ruin my revenue too?" "Are you lazy reputation undermining the authority" " And you don't listen to anyone?" " Yeah, that would be the one." "Well, you can't go all willy-nilly with these dance steps, Nikko." "Show choir is about precision." "It's about form." "It's about" "I'm just trying to add a little spontaneity, that's all." "Well, spontaneity is fine as long as we work it out on rehearsal and execute it the same way each time." "Oh, so you offer improvisation as long as it's approved in advance?" "Yes, the Ferndale Show Choir All-Stars is a very important showcase for us." "The Ferndale what-where now?" "The Ferndale Show Choir All-Stars?" "Did you not read the handout?" "It was pink." "He hoped to be alone." "Well, it's your first public performance, Nikko and I need to make sure you're not gonna do anything crazy, okay?" "Last year, Royce pushed the envelope and lost us Nationals." "Hang on a second." "I'm not Royce." "I'm not going to cost Nationals." "And I'm taller." " Courtney!" "Nikko!" " Great." "There's more of you." "Good news!" "Tajid solved our little wardrobe problem." "My family has joined the pro ranks of American restaurant franchises." "And as proud new owners of Rustler's Depot," "They have agreed to sponsor our costumes!" " Isn't that great?" " I think we could put our names on it." "Wait, wait, wait." "These costumes will be cool, right?" " Oh, totally!" "It'll be great!" " Yeah!" "Come on." "Very cool." "Are you coming or are you gonna belt your part from the bus?" "Is that an option?" " No" " This is so lame." "It's pronounced la-mey." "You're kidding me." "This is where the show is?" "No." " Let's go." " Oh yes, sir." "What?" "I thought you'd be excited to be back on your old stumping grounds." " Don't forget your hat!" " Yipee ki-yay." " Come on, kids." " Come on." "Sweet!" "Great!" "Perfect." "Awesome." "Rustler's Depot." "Hey, can I get an order of Buffalo Bill Wings with a side of Doc Hollidays?" "That's a great look." "Nikko?" " Hey." " Nils." "Eric." "Amy." "What are you doing?" "Why are you wearing that outfit?" "'Cause I like it." "I always wondered who wrangled my Little Ponies." "Hahaha!" " Aha-ha-ha." "The joke is on you." " Yeah." "You're done damn stupid to let Nikko go." "He's going to wow the crowd with his awesome vocal styling." "Guys, please." "Stop helping." "Alright, alright." "Let's just go." " Hey." "Good luck, Nikko." " Bye." "Bye, Nikko." "You guys look awesome." " You don't even know what you're..." " Caspian." "Did you see that?" "I need a great demo." "I need a great demo." "I need a great demo." "I need a great demo." "I hear that song" "And I can still picture us" "Not sure where we went wrong" "Maybe love isn't always enough" "I'm missing you, that's all I know, Are we better off this way?" "Yeah" "I'm listening to the radio And I see your face" "What's a lonely love song?" "Something sad, but true" "Words and melodies that keep reminding me of you" "Ah, great." "Him again." "Not just him, it's her." "Tammi Dyson may be sweet and innocent like cotton candy, but she leads Ta-Da by the pure evil residing in her heart." "He spells Tammi with an "I", and the "I" stands for the ice in her veins." "The love, yeah, was gone" "I tried to convince myself" "But I hear that song, yeah" "Oh, and I'm not doing too well" "If I could start all over again I'd never let you go." " Guess his voice isn't horrible." " Royce?" "Royce Du Lac is only like the best soloist in the history of any showchoir anywhere." "Something sad, but true" "Words and melodies that keep reminding me of you" "So, did he and fearless leader... date?" "Why?" "Are you jealous?" "From Captain Cardboard?" "I don't think so." "Make me wonder where you are tonight" "I tried to move on But I don't know how to" "I've forgotten how good they were." "I tried to act strong, It's no use" "Something's always there to remind me" "A photograph that takes me back" "Overcome by all the memories that I still have" "If we just had a second chance" "What's a lonely love song?" "It's just a long goodbye" "Voices on the radio" "Make me wonder where you are tonight, ooh" "We've got to beat those guys." "Why are you all acting normal?" "Shouldn't you be in the auditorium tangling up with another risers?" "Uh-uh." "This is vocal rehearsal." "Plus, the Empress has a meeting with the guidance counselor." "Okay, everybody up." "Uh, you wanna start without her?" " It's Courtney, not Darth Vader." " Is there a difference?" "Come on, everybody up." "Let's just sing." "You know, for fun." "Yeah, yeah, everybody now" "Yeah, yeah, wooo" "Fit in or stand out Not a hard decision" "Just do what you like Everybody does a little something" "Right here, right now" "Don't let inhibitions Hold you back this time" "'Cause we don't need no invitation" "To break all the rules" "I said yeah Gotta do what you wanna do" "Gotta say what you wanna say" "Just do it your own way" "I said yeah Gotta do what you wanna do" "Take a chance that you wanna take" "Just do it your own way" "Who's got something?" "Anybody?" "Come on, you're not gonna make me do this all by myself." "Tajid, you beatbox?" "Sweet." "Who else?" "Come on, everybody." "C'mon!" " Nikko, Courtney's not gonna like this." " Why not?" "She always said..." "Play safe, inside" "Tell me why should I?" "That's so boring and typical" "Come on, try something" "Break free, one time" "Why be just an other?" "When you can be an original?" "'Cause we don't need no invitation" "Let's break all the rules" "I say yeah Gotta do what you wanna do" "Gotta say what you wanna say" "Just do it your own way" "I say yeah Gotta do what you wanna do" "Take a chance that you wanna take" "Just do it your own way" "What are you guys doing?" "I'm sorry, Mr. Romano." "We were just goofing around." "No, no, no, that sounded great." "I know, right?" "Did you hear Tajid tearing up that beatbox?" "And Janet!" "I had no idea you had that kind of range." "Neither did I!" "You guys have to use this." "In shows?" "Unfathomable!" " We cannot sing like that in the competition." " Why not?" "You know, thinking outside the box can be a real, uh, rush." "So I've heard." "Courtney likes things inside the box." "You know, folded neatly, not even touching the walls." " Look, all Courtney wants is to win, right?" " Yeah." "Hey, it's worth a shot." "We will come up with a sample on our own and we'll show her." "Where would we even do this?" "And when?" "When what?" "When were we gonna start rehearsal?" "We were waiting for you." "You could've started rehearsal without me, Nikko." "I would think you of all people would want to take this seriously, right?" "Why would you want to take this--?" "I don't understand." "From the top, please!" "Stop singing." "Okay." "Shouldn't you be doing homework or something?" "I am doing something." "I'm watching a video." "That's very funny." "Come on, Nikko." "You need to buckle down and learn the value of hard work." "Life is..." " Hold that thought." "Or discard it." " Either way." " You're not Thai food." "We had such an enjoyable time today." "We'd thought we'd come back for more." "And then Caspian had a great idea for a rehearsal space." " How do you know where I live?" " What's going on?" " Hey." "We're Nikko's" " Study group!" " Really?" " Yeah, I'm buckling down." "Cool." "Well, let me get out of your way." "No, no, no." "We'll just study on the roof." "I'll get that." " Hey!" " Study Group." "Hey, watch those stairs." "Careful!" " Hey." " Hi." "Hi." "I'm just gonna leave the door open." "If you can put the way for anyone else, that would be, uh... awesome." "Okay, that looks like all of them." "We're just gonna be out here doing a little, uh..., studying." "I think my roof's a capacity." "Alright, guys, let's do this." " Janet?" "Are you joining us?" " I don't know." "Court's my best friend." "I don't really wanna go behind her back." "It's not going behind her back." "Why don't you just think of it as kind of a surprise party?" "Okay." "Oh man." "Guys, break this up." "This isn't some stiff showchoir practice." "Alright, the first rule of Nikko's rooftop..." "There are no rules." "Except for one:" "No jazz hands." "Nice." "Taj, man, did you pick this?" "This one's selected by me, yes." "Alright, let's see what you got." "Okay." "I think you got a little more than that." "Okay, try this." "Come on." "Nice, Cas." "Everybody watch him." "You're really getting the hang of it." "Come on up." "Tajid, Jazz hands, please." "Thank you." "Go right to the music!" "Very good, girls!" "Excuse me." "What are you doing?" "Thank you." "No, no." "Don't tell them, but I really want to learn one part from the "Eye Of The Tiger"." "Guys." "C'mon, this is so important to us." "I guess we're just gonna have to work a little harder." "And Caspian, you don't have to belt out every note, okay?" "So can you ease off a little bit?" "Take five." "What's up, Casp?" "Look." "I know my voice is a little theatrical." "I can't help it." "It's just that I don't wear enough black to get into the drama club, and the only instrument I play is the triangle, so band's off the table." "And I thought," "Spectacular, maybe once, all eyes would be on me." "Stupid, I know." "Dude, I want to be a rock star." "I don't think it's stupid at all." "Guys like us just need a spotlight." "Okay." " Let's sing." " Come on." "'Sup, bro?" "Don't "'sup, bro" me." "We talked about you growing up and being responsible," "And you go join another band?" " What?" "No, no, I didn't." " You didn't join another band." "What's this?" "Some kind of disco cowboy music?" "Yes, Stavros, it's disco cowboy music." "All the cool kids are into it." " I don't care what the cool kids" " I didn't join another band." "Trust me." "I..." "Got a job." "You work at Rustler's Depot?" "Yeah, I work at Rustler's Depot." "I was just thinking about what you said about not pulling my weight." "I know it's just waiting tables, for now." "But, I wanted to start paying you back." "Nikko, Nikko, Nikko, I'm so proud of you man." "I'm so proud of you." "That's sweet, guys." "Alright." "Okay, everybody, listen up." "Right here, 9 o'clock, tomorrow night." "Tomorrow night?" "But Cosmic Bowling is a Spectacular tradition." "So?" "We'll start a new one." "Come on, guys." "She's my bestfriend." "I know she'll love it." "Janet's right." "Courtney's gonna be blown away." "You guys are ready." "You know, you are full of surprises, Ms. Lane." "I had no idea you're so passionate about bowling." "Well, it's not really bowling, it's..." "Never mind." "No, come on." "It's what?" "Promise you won't laugh at me, okay?" "I'm not gonna laugh." "I'm just curious where all this tradition came from." "Well, I know it's random, but I've been doing this since junior high." "I'm gonna need more than that." "Okay." "Before the concert, I'd get all nervous," "And my dad would bring me here to calm the butterflies in my stomach." "Wish I had that." "My brother used to encourage stage fright just to stop me from singing." "Well, you better try new tactics 'cause it's not working." "I know, right?" "Anyway, when I took over Spectacular, it was a tradition I brought with me." "And one week before the big show, we'd all come down here together." "Dumb, huh?" "Not even a little bit." " Hey, guys." " Oh, hey." "So, where is everyone?" "Well, Tajid had advanced placements, and Emily had a French test." "and Robin can't really bowl with the cast on." "Zack had a family thing" "So pretty much, everyone bailed on, like, our only Spectacular tradition." "Hey!" "We're here, right?" " Let's keep the tradition alive." " Let's bowl!" "Thank you." "Thank you." " I have a spare." " What did I just ask for?" "Did I say spare?" "No, I said strike." " Royce?" " Strike." "What are you doing here?" "You know this is a Spectacular thing!" " Come on, Courtney." " I happen to like bowling." "Well, you certainly seem to be familiar with the gutter." "Oh, please, you couldn't even pick up a ball." "Okay, you know what?" "Leave him have it." "I have a better idea." "Typical." "You can't handle" "Uh-uh." "Talk to the jazz hand!" "Let's start a brand new tradition with my favorite game:" "Rock the World!" "What do you think?" "What do I think?" "Let's tear this thing up!" "Alright!" "The first victim!" "Ah, random selection!" "You have to sing whatever comes up!" "Courtney, you don't have to do this." "I'll change it." "Don't be ridiculous." "It's fine." "I'll sing it." "This used to be their duet." "Courtney and Royce." "Sometimes it's hard to see" "What's been there all along" "Sometimes we're sure of everything" "'Til we find out that we're all wrong" "Now we're standing here" "Face to face" "Nothing feels the same" "For the first time I realized" "Something I didn't see before" "For the first time" "Looking in your eyes" "Suddenly there's so much more" "Something we both feel inside For the first time" "How did we ever end up here" "I don't know but it feels so right" "The last thing I ever expected" "Is happening, it's you and I" "There's something real" "I can't explain" "And nothing feels the same" "For the first time, I realized" "Something I didn't see before" "For the first time" "Looking in your eyes" "Suddenly there's so much more" "Something we both feel inside For the first time" "I can't find the words For how I feel about you" "Just wanna be around you now" " I never imagined" " Oh, yeah" "That someone could make me feel The way you do" "For the first time" "Looking in your eyes" "Suddenly there's so much more" "Something we both feel inside For the first time" "For the first time" "Come on." "I've got something to show you." "Okay." " Watch your step." " Okay." "Where are you taking me?" "I'm not very good with surprises." "Would you trust me?" "And keep your eyes closed." " I am." " Okay." "Look, Courtney, I know we kinda got off on the wrong foot" "And I'm not just talking about my dancing." "It's just that, you and I are both passionate people." "And we care about the same thing." "Which is why we put a little presentation for you." "What?" "Who's we?" "Yeah, yeah, everybody now" "Yeah, yeah, wooo" "What is this?" "Fit in or stand out Not a hard decision" "Just do what you like" "Everybody does a little something" "Right here, right now" "Don't let inhibitions" " Hold you back this time" " No, no, no" "'Cause we don't need no invitation" "To break all the rules" "I said yeah" "Gotta do what you wanna do" "Gotta say what you wanna say" "Just do it your own way" "I said yeah" "Gotta do what you wanna do" "Take a chance that you wanna take" "Just do it your own way" "Now's the time to work it out" "Work it out" "Show the world" "Show the world" "What you're all about" " Let go" " Let go" "'Cause you know you're ready to" "Everybody Now the choice is up to you, Ohhh" "Oh, we don't need no invitation" "To make all the rules" "I said yeah" "Gotta do what you wanna do Gotta say what you wanna say" "Just do it your own way" "I said yeah" "Gotta do what you wanna do Take a chance that you wanna take" "Just do it your own way" "Yeah" " Gotta do what you wanna do" " What you want to do" " Gotta say what you wanna say" " What you want to say" " Just do it your own way" " Your own way" "I said yeah" " Gotta do what you wanna do" " What you want to" "Take a chance that you wanna take" "Just do it your own way" " So, what'd you think?" " About which part?" "The part where you stabbed me in the back or the group turned the knife?" "And why, Nikko?" "For money?" "What does she mean, for money?" "Did your new leader neglect to tell you that the only reason he joined us" "Because I promised him half the prize money?" "Is that true?" "Courtney, it's not your money to give." "It's Spectacular's." "I know." "It was evidently a bad decision anyway." "You made this deal behind our back." "Congratulations, Nikko." "I never thought I could feel as bad as the day that Royce left, but you topped that." "You stole my dream." "We..." "We trusted you." "And you betrayed us." "Nice surprise party, Nikko." " Hey, Court." " Royce?" "What are you doing here?" "Shouldn't you be in bowling?" "Yeah, it wasn't the same." "Those were our lines." "That was our song." "It's a little late to be feeling nostalgia." "Is it?" "Look, I don't know what it was, Courtney, but when you and I sang together, it was magic." "We have chemistry." "We still do." "You have a girlfriend, remember?" "Tammi?" "With an "I"?" "We make beautiful music together!" "Come on." "You're not seriously using that on her." "Nikko, I can handle this, okay?" " I'm not afraid of you, rock boy." " Get lost, glee club gnome." "Mess with me, and I'll make you sing soprano." "That's tick tock coming from a guy whose license plate says "show boy"." "Can you please?" "Can you stop it?" "Whatever." "It would be too easy to beat you here, anyway." "I'm gonna humiliate you publicly." "In Nationals." "You wanna see a show boy?" "Ta-Da is gonna show you up, show you to the door and show you how it's done." "Okay, that was the weirdest trash talk I've ever heard." "If you're here to give back your costume and songbook," "You can give it to Mr. Romano." "Listen, on the roof, I know what that looked like." "Like you're trying to steal Spectacular away from me?" "But that could never happen." "Because you are Spectacular." "You are its heart and soul." "Without you," "Spectacular is just a bunch of tone-deaf kids with no rhythm and a lot of left feet." "I guess I just wanted to show you some of the other things that Tackies could do." "From now on, we'll do it the right way." "Your way." "Well, my way isn't all it's cracked up to be." "What are you talking about?" " "The Show Choir Rage?"" " Page 2." ""Oh, how the mighty have fallen." "Last year's National Runners Up made a  less than Spectacular debut in the county fair. "" "Keep reading." ""With by-the-numbers choreography and an overly safe song selection," "The departure of Royce Du Lac seems to have been   death blow to the ones great 'Spectacular'."" " Courtney, it's one bad review." " They're right." "I was so afraid to take chances that my classic stuff free to stale" "And watching you guys tonight," "I never even knew Tackies could do any of that stuff." "It was cool." "Unfortunately, cool or not, most of it will get us disqualified, so..." "Mrs. Lane!" "Sorry, we lost track of time" "It's okay." "I'm just glad you're not Royce." "Now listen to me." "Courtney, you live, eat and breathe show choir." "I mean if anyone can figure out how far you can bend the rules without breaking them, it's you." "And you, follow your instincts." "Don't push the envelope until she says when." "This could work." "Well except the fact that Tackies see me as..." "A narrow-minded and inflexible dictator?" "That's okay, I'm a..." "Money-grabbing, backstabbing ego-maniac?" "Can't say they don't know us." "Mr. Dickinson, you have a..." "I said no call, and uh, no pickle here, sweetie." "It's Mr. Gage." "Tony!" "What's shakin'?" "Yeah!" "No, no, no, no." "Of course." "Yeah, yeah." "I'm finding a new talent." "Yeah." "No, no, no." "Hey, wait, wait." "I got something." "Yeah, I got somebody right here." "Of course you can hear it!" "Look who it is!" "It's our very own conniving traitor." " Everyone hide your lunch money." " I'm sorry, okay?" "I made a unilateral decision and I was wrong." "Nikko helped me see that you can always be..." "Nikko was a charlatan and a scoundrel." "He will be the ruination of Spectacular." "He's only interested in himself, Courtney." "Thank you!" "Thank you very much." " Oh, no!" " Wow." " What do you guys think of my new look?" " Nice." "I thought maybe you could use these to make costumes." "Or to bake a potato." "Just because you finally found some fashion sense, doesn't mean we forgive you." " Yeah." " Okay." "Okay." "Look guys." "When I took Courtney's offer, I didn't want that money for pizza and video games, okay?" "I needed it for my demo." "And the only reason Courtney made that offer in the first place is because she loves Spectacular so much and she wants you guys to win so badly." "Well, you could've just asked us." "I mean," "We would've been happy to help you with your demo." "I know that now." "But I'm not worried about that anymore." "I'll figure something out." "After we win Nationals." "Yes!" "Together." "Okay?" "No more dictatorship." "Tiger cannot change its pants." "But we'll use all our skills, your beatbox, and your voice, Janet." "And Mr. Romano, your..." "I'm sure you're good at something, right?" "No, I'm glad you've mentioned that 'cause actually I do have..." "Your words are striking the correct notes, but the proof is in the pudding, is it now?" "Come on, guys!" "C'mon!" "Tajid's right." "Courtney does not just" "Hey!" "I can have fun!" "Okay, okay?" "Break it down." "Break it down." "Go shopping." "Go shopping." "Oh, yeah." "Uh-huh." "Yeah." "Yeah." "We'll work on her." " Yeah." " Wow." "Well, if this is gonna be a brave new Spectacular era" "With brand new costumes and a spazzy, new Courtney" "Then I guess there's just one more thing we need." "Caspian's right." "We need a new song." "Yes, but it totally has to be cool." "Yeah, something that hasn't been done to death." "Perfectly, from the 1980s." "That's the last time almost all the judges bought a CD." " When Doves Cry!" " In the eighties, I've got a song..." "I've got a..." "I've got a song." "I've got a song!" "It's from the 1980s." "It's called "Something To Believe In"." "I love that song!" "You look inside my heart And seem to get me from the start" " That's it!" "That's the song!" " It's Herringbone, right?" "That's like the most famous bootleg song ever from the last gig." "Yeah, it was the band's one song." "It's never even been released." "If the band held on to it, how are we gonna get permission?" "Well, I can get permission." " How?" " Why, I know the band." "I sorta grew up with some of the members." "That's amazing!" "Alright!" "Solved." "We've got our song." "And six days to get our act together." "So what's the plan, chief?" "Let's... have fun!" "Stavros!" "I'm home." "I brought you a Rustler's last sandwich..." "Better hold on tight to that saddle, cowboy." "You're 'bout to have the ride of your life." "Mr. Dickinson!" "What are you doing here?" "Mr. Dickinson and I have been discussing your exceptional talent." "You've got the voice, the look, and the attitude to become a real player in the music industry." "Thank you, sir, but what about my demo?" "The label owner, Mr. Gage, likes to audition certain acts in person." "You lucked out, kid." "Roll with it." "I've already contacted your old band." "They're thrilled obviously." "But you said I shouldn't use my old band." "Nikko, use them for audition, and you can always cut them loose later." "So, how do we know that this is for real?" "Is this number real now for you?" "That's if Mr. Gage likes him." "Now you, just be here, ready to Roque, on Saturday night." "Thank you, sir." "Wait!" "This Saturday night?" "Yes, the only day night that Big Man's in town." "Why?" "It's just that..." "I'm working that night." "You can get someone to cover your shift." "Everyone's already working." "It's a big event." "Huge." "It's Fajita Fiesta!" "Look, bro, I admire the dedication to Rustler's Depot, and I know I've never been supportive, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity." "Quit." "This is your shot, kid." "Don't let us down, alright?" "But, you know, no pressure." "Gentlemen." "Yes!" "Great, guys." "Let's lock it down so we can move on to tech rehearsal, okay?" "Courtney, can I talk to you?" "Isn't this exciting?" "It's all coming together!" "And please don't mark your solos." "Be intuitive, spontaneous, really cut loose." " It's really important ..." " Who would have thought that a little improv would energize Spectacular, right?" "Mr. Romano?" "Would you please go over the lightings?" "Hello, Stavros." "Just came here to pick up our lead singer for the rehearsal." "I don't think he's here right now, Amy." "He's probably at work." "So he calls sprinting around in his ridiculous outfits with all those freaks and weirdos?" "That's not very nice, Amy." "His boss makes him wear those outfits and I'm sure his co-workers are very nice." "Wait, it's his boss?" "His co-workers?" "What exactly did Nikko tell you he's been up to?" "I used to see the world as cold, so cold" "I always felt so all alone, oh" "How did you know you'd find me here?" "Yeah" "How did you ever see behind my tears?" "Yeah" "I never realized how..." "What in the world are you doing?" "This is your job and your study group?" "I wonder why you guys never had textbooks!" " Stavros, I can explain." "Can we just...?" " You lied to me!" "And for what?" "So you could prance around doing this..." "Wh-what is this?" "!" "It's called show choir." "It has a rich and storied history!" "And it just so happens that Nikko iss gonna help us dominate it at the championships tomorrow night!" "Well, Nikko." "Is there anyone you haven't lied to?" "Hate to burst your quitter balls, kids, but Nikko's auditioning for the CEO of Apex Records tomorrow night." " What?" " What?" "Nikko ..." "Is that, Is that true?" "Yes, Rich Dickinson himself thinks that Flux is gonna be huge!" "Flux?" "The band you kicked him out of?" "Nikko would never do anything like that." " I tried to tell you." " I don't understand." "You dreamed about this your whole life." "Look, we'll deal with you going behind my back and lying to me later, but for now let's get you out of here and get you warmed up for tomorrow." "Nikko, wait!" "And you wanna be a dancer?" "You might wanna learn how to walk first." "Nikko, say goodbye to your little friends." "I'm sorry guys." "Me too." "I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to perform with such professionals." "From the top, everybody." "Nice view." "Your brother said I would find you up here." "If you're here to give me advice," "I'd sure appreciate it." "I've been a music teacher for a long time now," "And I never wanted to admit this to the kids or anything to break their hearts, but show choir hasn't exactly been my favorite part of the job." " I think they're onto you, Mr. Romano." " Really?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Well, the thing is, Nikko, when you showed up," "You brought real life to it." "And I saw real talent, real chops, and it reminded me" "Of me." "I mean I did." "A long time ago." "Why?" "Are you in a band or something?" "Remember what I told you, I kind of grew up with Herringbone?" "Yeah?" " That was kind of an understatement." " What kind of understatement?" "Wait, wait a minute." "You..." "You didn't grow up with Herringbone." "You are Herringbone!" "You're Joey Rome!" "Joey Rome!" "I knew you weren't dead or living on a deserted island." "The internet's an idiot." "People are gonna freak!" "No, no, no, no, no, no." "You can't tell anybody, okay?" "I only told you because I thought you could use some advice from somebody who's been at the top and just blew it." "Blew it?" "What are you talking about?" "You're like the icon of musical integrity." "Everyone knows Herringbone quits, they would be taken over by corporate America." "Or perform in huge stadiums with 40,000 screaming fans?" " Because you refused to sell out." " Because I was afraid." "Nikko, after our first song was a hit, safe little clubs became huge scary arenas." "Now look, I couldn't do it." "I loved being a musician, I really did, but I couldn't handle being a rock star." "So I blamed corporate America, I changed my name." "Here we are." "Why are you telling me this?" "Because you only get one shot to do this right." "No offense, Mr. Romano, Rome, You're old, not dead." "You know, I'm not that old." "Not the point." "If you miss it, you can start playing again." "Nikko, look, my window is closed, okay?" "It's your time now." "And you have to make the right decisions for the right reasons." "What do you want me to do?" "Put my band before Spectacular?" "Nikko, I'm not telling you to do anything." "All I'm saying is at the end of the day," "You're the one that has to live with your choices." "So, whatever you decide to do, make sure it's what you want." "Nikko..." "Nikko..." "Think about it." " Hon, is everything okay?" " Mm-Hmm." "Just putting on some finishing touches." "Every detail counts!" "I'm not talking about the costumes." "It's just bad timing, but show choir is a team effort, so..." "It's just a little unfortunate 'cause I thought he changed." "But, Spectacular's gonna do great without him!" "Sweetie, what about you?" "Oh, honey." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Let it out." "I know." "Why am I crying?" "He doesn't care about show choir," "Or Spectacular or anyone." "I hate him!" "I know." "Besides, he's probably so exhausted from all these rehearsals" " That he'd blow the audition." " Oh, no, Mom!" "He'll do great!" "It's his dream!" "Oh, honey." "It's so heavy, man." "My back hurts." "I feel like your dad." "It's hooked." "Whoa, Nikko loading the van." "Alert the media!" "I got it!" "See, Nikko?" "Kicking you out of the band was for your own good." "You needed to hit rock bottom, and if show choir's rock bottom," " I mean, talk about lame." " It's pronounced la-mey." "Don't listen to her, okay?" "If you liked hanging out with those Spectacular kids, then there must have been something cool about them." "Yeah, there was." "Thanks." "So Dickinson said you really want the map for us." "Yeah, that would be... not true." "I could have." "But I didn't." " Alright, man." "That was understandable." " Ancient history." " Thanks, Eric." " Ready?" "Nikko, can talk for a minute?" "Yeah, but could you actually make it quick?" " We're sort of" " I can handle this Amy." "Thanks." "Look, Courtney, I know how you must feel." "And I don't blame you." "But show choir just isn't my thing." "It's just a way to" "Good luck." " Nikko, let's go bro." " Roque." "Let's go." "22ND ANNUAL AFJC NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP" "Courtney, it is complete chaos out there." "And twice as much spandex as last year." "Okay." "Calm down." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Wow, I can't believe you guys have to follow us." "I don't envy you." "Oh, you're ahead of us?" "You'd better do your hair and make-up, right?" " I've done my hair and make-up!" " Oh." "Where's rock boy?" "Oh my gosh." "He bailed on you and you're still going out there." "You're real troopers." "Ta-Da's Tammi Dyson's was right." "Without Nikko, we are doomed to the feet of every proportion." " Don't listen to her." "Now guys, I know you're disappointed." "But life is full of disappointments." "Now you get up and you get out there." "Because Nikko is off chasing his dream." "And I think it's time that we chase ours." "I'm living my life Just the way I like" "They say I get a little too loud Try to push me in a box, over analyze" "But I'm never gunna turn it down" "Well, well, I heard enough." "Sorry." "We're just not interested." "But thank you." "Have fun at the prom, kids." "Rich, Rich, you know he's better than this." "He's just warming up." "Come on, man." "Hey, kid." "I've heard you before and you're better than this." "What's up?" " What do you mean?" " Where's your heart?" " It's not in this song." "It's empty." " I know, you're right." "Listen, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Gage," "Please," "Let me show you where my heart is." "There's a fever inside me, It's taken hold somehow" "I couldn't even hide it if I tried." "Oh oh ohhh" "I'm hearing a song" "A song" "I never heard till' now Oh oh ohhh" "I think I'm gonna take a chance tonight" "All that I've been waitin' for To turn the key and unlock the door" "It's all so clear, so clear Just standin' here" "I've finally found my way" "So here's an invitation, invitation To my own celebration" "On the wings of a dream" "In your eyes I can fly so high" "On the wings of a dream" "See me now as I touch the sky" "Tonight's the night" "My dreams come true, yeah" "You always said they would Oooo" "Watch me fly away" "On the wings of a dream" "On the wings of a dream" "If you only believe" "On the wings of a dream" "There's one burning ember (ember) That's turnin' to a flame, yeah" "Now we got a shining light to guide us Ohh yeah" "Even living' from day to day, day to day I hang onto my faith, Oh oh ohh" "I never thought of letting go or giving in" "The game is on and I wanna play" "I'll take my step cause' I'm here to say" " Our kids are gonna do fine." " I hope so." "The stars are in my sight" "Well I'm never looking down And never touching' ground" "On the wings of a dream, yeah In your eyes I can fly so high" "On the wings of a dream" "Thanks for letting them use your song, by the way." " What, you know?" " Are you kidding?" "My walls used to be covered with Herringbone posters." "I've known since the first parent- teacher conference." "...Away On the wings of a dream" "On the wings of a dream" "On the wings of a dream" "On the wings of a dream" "Life is more than it seems" "On the wings of a dream" "On the wings of a dream" "On the wings of a dream" "On the wings of a dream" "On the wings of a dream" "On the wings of a dream" "Thank you."

"Now it's our turn and whatever happens, okay, just remember..." " Oh, no." "She's gonna tell us she loves us." " Shut up!" "I do, okay?" "They are Spectacular!" " Let's just have fun out there, okay?" " I think I'm gonna throw up." "I used to see the world as cold, so cold" "I always felt so all alone, oh" "How did you know you'd find me here?" "Yeah" "How did you ever see behind my tears?" "Yeah" "I never realized" "How anyone could make everything so right" "I was so sad, You brought me back, oh" "You give me something to believe in," "After all that we've been through" "The love you give, It all comes back to you" "You give me something to believe in, You can see the real me" "And here with you Is where I'm meant to be" " What happened to your big audition?" " I thought it'd be better here." "I don't have to imagine anymore," "No, oh" "All the time it was you I was waiting for, oh" "And here we are together side by side," "Yeah" "And nothing seems impossible tonight," " Yeah" " Yeah" " You look inside my heart" " Inside my heart" "And seem to get me from the start" "And we've got the chance, the chance" "To make this last" "You give me something to believe in," " You can see the real me" " You can see the real me" "And here with you Is where I'm meant to be" "Yeah" "Lift us up" "So high above," "Higher than high" "Now we realize, Feeling so alive" "All it takes is love to find us, guide us all" "The way that's the one thing you can trust" "All we need is love to reach out, show out" "Ladies and gentlemen, Joey Rome!"

"Joey, you're my hero!" "No, no!" "Over there!" "Spectacular!" "And once again, thank you so much." "It's a great honor." "Once again, let's hear it for our third place winners, Glamour Gang!" "And now, the moment that you've all been waiting for." "The Winner of the 22nd Annual" "American Federation of Jazz Choir National Championships..." "And the winner is..." "Ladies and gentlemen, the winner is Ta-Da!" "What about Spectacular?" "See?" "Spectacular should have won!" "Apparently, Spectacular performed   with members not registered in advance with the judges,   and in accordance with AFC rules, Spectacular is disqualified." "Thank you so much!" "I..." "Wow, it is such a great honor to join the ranks of two-time winners, like Ryhthm  Shoes," "Shidazzle, Turquoise Tigresses..." " Majorly Metallic." " Sparkle Factory." " Thank you." "I'd really like to thank..." " Thank you guys so much." " I'm sorry." " Don't be." " We lost!" " Who cares?" "We came here to be the best." "And that's what we are." " Who cares about a trophy?" " This is so great!" " It's all so worth it." " Too bad there's only one trophy." "I know." "How are we gonna share it?" "Share?" "Oh Royce, you're hilarious." "We're done." "Ta-da!"
