"I need backup." "Time out." "[Imitating gunfire]" "Dude, I said, "time out."" "Oh, what's up, dude?" "Hey, buddy." "Hey." "I had a feeling you'd be coming over..." "And I already unlocked the piano for you." "Serious?" "Thanks, Pete, you're the best." "I know." "Time in." "[Imitating gunfire]" "[Sighs]" "[Orchestra tuning up...]" "[Voices vocalizing faintly...]" "On my way" "Though I don't know where I'm going" "On a road that's dark" "And long" "On my way" "But I'm fearful that I could be lost" "That the path I have chosen" "Might be wrong" "When will it be clear" "Boy: that I made the right choice?" "When can I be sure" "Boy: that I know my own voice?" "Both: dream of a day when I'm free from doubt" "And faith wins out" "And I overcome my fear" "Boy: clear." "[Song ends]" "What are you doing?" "[Gasps and laughs]" "You scared me, I..." "I'm Madison Huxley..." "Did you hear that?" "I'm Madison Huxley, my father owns this mall." "Oh, yeah, yeah, I totally know who you are, I'm Ally... last I heard, this piano was for official mall use only." "Oh, yeah, I just..." "I practice." "When there's nobody around, 'cause of the acoustics." "Well, I'm around" "Oh, uh, I'm sorry." "I'm getting security to lock this thing back up." "[Door slams shut]" "When will it be clear" "That I made the right choice?" "When can I be sure" "That I know my own voice?" "Dream of a day when I'm free from doubt" "When faith wins out" "And I overcome my fear" "Clear." "[Song ends]" "Boy: she wrote another song?" "Is this one finished?" "Don't you know by now?" "She never finishes any of it" "Even half-finished... her songs are better than anything I could ever write." "Hey, maybe she's got A.D.D." "I got A.D.D., it can really impede on one's ability to complete tasks." "Yeah, and, uh, one's ability to shut up." "All I'm saying is you should make your move soon, man." "I sang with her last night." "[Laughs] all right, dude, so you finally talked to her?" "Oh, Joey, man, this is getting pathetic, dude." "You're, like, playing the phantom of the mall." "Yeah, dude, rock stars aren't all timid and shy" "It wasn't the right time, Ricky" "It's never the right time" "Ugh, time, time, time, time... time!" "Well, time don't wait for no one" "No one gets in for free" "It's time we got it going" "And I can see myself, I'm a star in a rock band" "Signing all them autographs" "Just don't you know that... every 10 seconds, someone's changing the world" "Someone's breaking the rules and someone gets the girl" "Every 10 seconds, there's a runner crossing over the line" "Sent my application, I got nothing to lose" "Looking at my watch and it's a quarter to" "Everything I want, I can see it, see it in my mind" "It's just a matter of time (time, time, time)" "It's the matter of time (time, time, time)" "And it takes blind ambition" "To rock the industry" "I'll make somebody listen" "They're gonna play my song, gonna hear it on the radio" "Driving down the freeway, that's what I say... every 10 seconds, someone's changing the world" "Someone's breaking the rules, and someone gets the girl" "Every 10 seconds, there's a runner crossing over the line" "Sent my application, I got nothing to lose" "Looking at my watch and it's a quarter to" "Everything I want, gotta do what it takes to get mine" "It's just a matter of time" "Here we go, one, two, one, two, three." "They're gonna play my song, gonna hear it on the radio" "Driving down the freeway, that's what I say... every 10 seconds, someone's changing the world" "Someone's breaking the rules, and someone gets the girl" "Every 10 seconds, there's a runner crossing over the line" "Sent my application, I got nothing to lose" "Looking at my watch and it's a quarter to" "Everything I want, gotta do what it takes to get mine" "It's just a matter of time (time, time, time)" "[Song ends]" "[Breathing heavily and coughing]" "We are gonna be one kick-ass rock band someday." "Yeah, as soon as we get some real instruments... hey, give it time, man, give it time." "Yeah, in the meantime, let's get back to work, alright?" "Ugh." "You're gonna keep sleeping here , you can at least open up the store on time." "It's not like we got them busting down the door to buy stuff." "Just because it's been a little slow..." ""slow" would be an improvement, Mom, it's like... [yawns] we went out of business, and nobody told us." "Doesn't mean we stop doing our job." "Not that anyone cares." "[Sighs] at least I have three piano lessons booked today." "Two, Miss Sullivan canceled." "Apparently Megan wants to "do cheerleading instead." [Giggles sarcastically]" "Your friend Ben said this feng shui fountain would stimulate wealth." "So far, all it's done is make me want to pee." "Maybe I'll put you out in the mall with a hat to sing for spare coins." "Yeah, right, why don't you do it?" "I mean, you're the one who's a professional singer." "Yeah." "One record 20 years ago that no one ever bought." "Any word from Ohio?" "Uh, no, not yet." "Mom: well, don't worry." "They'll accept you off the wait list." "You're got your father's talent with numbers, god rest his soul." "You'll get into your first choice." "Huh, uh, yeah, yeah, um..." "Ohio's got a great, uh, business department." "Welcome back, Mr. Huxley." "[Laughs]" "Oh, it must bring back a lot of memories being back at your very first mall" "After having been away for so long." "Hard at work on your retail empire." "Huxley:" "I suppose so." "And how gratifying, your daughter following in your footsteps." "She's a, uh, Two-For-One split off the old stock. [Laughs]" "Huxley:" "Max Huxley." "Ok, that wasn't funny." "That's ok." "What are you doing?" "[Tearfully]:" "I just broke up with my boyfriend." "I'm a stress eater" "Well, my staff is required to be a size zero." "Or under, preferably, under." "So you choose, meaningful employment... or candy-Coated cellulite?" "There's my beautiful college graduate." "Daddy... [laughs]" "I'm so glad you're here, ok, I've got our day together all planned out." "You're gonna see my little presentation first... and then I made reservations for us at that chic, new sushi restaurant I was telling you..." "Maddy, I'm sorry, but I can't spend the day with you." "I have to leave in a few minutes." "Oh." "An opportunity popped up for me to acquire another mall" "And as you know, business is war." "How 'bout I fly in next week to make it up to you" "We'll have a very special dinner, just the two of us." "Ok." "Um, you can still see my presentation, though, right?" "Hit me with it." "Ok, ok, um, wait there, um..." "[Woman whispering]:" "Madison." "Madison: you'll find only the best pieces" "From the most exclusive designers." "[Woman whispering]:" "Madison." "Demonstrating the most discerning eye for fashion." "Madison... expensive, refined, Madison." "So what do you think?" "It was nice." ""Nice"?" "I'm in stores every day, all over the country." "And yours looks like a lot of them." "If you want to succeed in retail, you have to be different, unique." "I know that." "I mean, that's why I did all of this." "I wanted to show you ordinary." "That was ordinary." "Madison's is going to be cutting-edge." "So you have a plan?" "Madison: totally." "You just have to give me a chance." "I'm sorry, but if you're gonna a make this meeting, we have to go." "Daddy?" "[Breathes deeply]" "Dori, give Madison whatever she needs to make this happen." "Dori: yes, sir." "Thank you. [Laughs]" "I have to go." "Madison: you won't" "I know I won't" "Um, I'll see you next week for our special dinner." "Huxley: you will." "[Mouths silently]" "Owen." "This, we're playing this." "That's a pretty tune." "Uh... yeah." "I thought he was in a hurry." "Mom, don't look at me like that, please." "Come on, give me a chance." "Can never get through to that woman." "I don't want to talk about it, what's going on in your life?" "Not much, except that I just had a really weird moment with Max Huxley." "Oh, and last night, I had a run-in with Madison." "Uh, she said my outfit looked like baby vomit." "She's obnoxious, spoiled, narcissistic... and she has perfect hair, I hate her." "[Laughs] control your hair envy, please." "Before Miss Buzzkill even showed up, I heard a voice." "Uh, there's medication for that, bubo." "I'm serious" "This guy, I have no idea who he was, but... he was somewhere in the mall and he was singing words to my song." "And they were good?" "Yeah." "Yeah, they were, they were good." "It was like he was in my head reading the lyrics" "That were just floating around that I can't." "Get out." "Wow, he really got to you." "A voice, huh?" "I usually go for a nice butt, but whatever toasts your bagel." "Girl: please, stop, stop, please?" "Please, No-No-No, stop, stop." "Ugh." "[Screaming]" "Put me out of my misery." "On the house." "No, Ben." "No-No-No-No-No-No, one of the many perks of my new power position." "Assistant manager." "What?" "Yeah, and my parents were worried about my future after high school." "Girl: at least you're making progress." "Look, Kira's 15 and she's already got her own boutique." "Ally: that girl's 15?" "I know, and I can't even get my mom to let me design for the shop." "I mean, I'm going to the fashion institute for a reason, right?" "Ben: why, you're 18 and already over the hill." "[Coughs]" "My mom's excuse is that I don't know anything about plus-sized women's bodies." "And I'm like, " hello." "Inside of every skinny girl, there's a fat chick just screaming to come out."" "You gotta tell her how you feel." "Says the girl whose mom still thinks she's going to college to be an accountant or whatever." "Hey, backspace, that's not fair" "I'm waiting." "I mean, what if I don't get into Ohio State College." "Then maybe my mom will let me go to New England Conservatory?" "To study music?" "[Laughs]" "Are we still talking about your mother, right, Mia?" "Mia?" "What?" "Sorry, I was checking out the summer crop of newbie guys." "There's my future Ex-B.F. Now." "Do you know that guy?" "No." "But I'm going to." "[Mia grunts]" "Ooh, take a number, "next."" "[Sighs] whatever." "There's no other cute guy s here today, anyway." "Hello, what about me?" "Whoa, backspace." "Girl: now that's what I'm talking about" "Mia: who are they, why have we never seen them before?" "Ben: they're the night crew" "Mia: janitors?" "Girl: dirty." "I think they prefer to be called custodial engineers." "Mia: mm, I call the one in the garbage can." "[Laughs] I never imagined myself with a guy who handles trash for a living." "Me either, but I am now... you realize that would make both of you two trash, right?" "Whatever, I buy lunch and I'm ignored" "We're not ignoring you" "You know, you're one of the girls." "What?" "Whatever, I'm leaving" "Ally:" "Ben, Ben, come on, come on." "You know how Mia gets." "The only reason she even works here is to shop for boys." "Mia: hey, look." "People come to the mall to shop for all kinds of things, all right?" "Why not boys?" "The minute I walk in, there is so much to see" "I check out the boys who are checking out me" "Every shape and size, and I want to sample them all" "I see dazzling designs when I open my eyes" "Baby, I can change my world with these hot dogs and fries" "All: stop and take a look, something special behind every wall (wall)" "At the mall... hangin' out with your friend, at the mall... circulate and spend" "You can be real, loosen up, what's the deal" "Hit your stride as you glide down the hall" "At the mall... at the mall" "Help me." "I like those uniforms in gray and smart and brainy types" "At the mall, ooh, at the mall" "And I go a little crazy for the scrumptious boys in stripes" "At the mall, ooh, at the mall" "Try on the latest in couture with a wrap that is surreal" "At the mall, (fierce), ooh, at the mall" "And some killer velvet sneakers with a 10-inch rubber heel" "Chorus: at the mall, at the mall, at the mall" "Ben: with an image that is sharp" "With a style that' ultra-slick" "And rock the fast food world with noodles on a stick" "Chorus: at the mall, at the mall, at the mall" "At the mall, at the mall, at the mall, at the mall" "Girl: ow" "At the mall... at the mall (at the mall, at the mall)" "At the mall... at the mall, at the mall, at the mall... hanging with a friend at the mall" "Circulate and spend" "You can be real, loosen up, what's the deal" "Hit your stride as you glide down the hall" "At the mall" "Doing what you please, at the mall" "Possibilities" "Lost in a crowd, all shouting out loud" "You can scheme, you can dream at the call" "[Phone rings]" "At the mall, at the mall, at the mall" "At the mall, at the mall... at the mall." "[Song ends]" "Daddy's coming in for the Huxley Mall Summer Slam" "So we'll announce my grand opening then." "Done." "Fantastic." "Hey, should we grab a bite in the food court before I show you the space?" "Madison: ew." "Even if we did eat lunch, we wouldn't eat it there, would we?" "Would we, Alexa?" "Yeah, barf." "Well, if you don't eat lunch, then when do you eat?" "Mondays and Fridays." "Oh... good." "And let's go see the space." "Mm, great." "Ok." "Thanks." "Turn off the" " Oh, bye, Emma." "Open a door" "Want a little something" "And bought a little... you wrote lyrics?" "That's all I got so far" "Shouldn't waste time trying to finish a tune I started when you were three." "Well, seems like we both have a problem finishing songs we started." "Yeah, well, earning a living is just slightly more important." "With all these bills... what is it?" "It's from Ohio State" "My gosh, open it." "I... got in." "You did." "See, I knew you would, that's so terrific, ooh... my high-powered businesswoman." "Yeah." "So the square footage isn't quite what you asked for, but... then I want that space too." "But it's occupied." "So?" "Well, they're one of the mall's original tenants." "It's gonna be hard to convince 'em to vacate, so..." "Daddy did say to get me whatever I want, but... if you can't handle that... just... give me a second." "Ok." "Are we interrupting?" "This is..." "Madison Huxley." "Wow, you used to run around with your father when he first opened up the mall." "Yeah, anyway, I'm gonna knock out this wall" "And open my new mega-hot boutique right here." "What?" "Um, you can't kick us out, I mean, we have a lease." "Well, we're not gonna kick you out, it's just..." "You're a little overdue for a rent increase." "Increase?" "We can barely afford what we pay now." "[Clears throat]" "Look, I'm so sorry, but this is completely out of my hands." "And according to your lease, if you're late, we have a problem." "But hey, here's an idea." "If you agree to vacate now, we can offer you a little compensation." "Which you clearly need, judging by how busy you are." "We're plenty busy, besides..." "We've got lots of new students just begging for lessons." "Ally?" "We're gonna pay the increase" "Look." "I want this store." "And I wanted Zac Efron" "But you know what, everyone's" "So we'll, we'll talk later, thank you." "Can you?" "What, I, ugh." "Ooh." "At the mall [laughs]." "At the mall... do it" "Ooh, ooh, how'd it go?" "I want them gone." "I guess that means not so well." "We can't force them out if they're agreed to pay the hiked-up rent." "Ok." "And get rid of this thing too." "[Screams]" "Alexa!" "Alexa?" "Oh... you poor..." "I have to go." "[Sighs]" "[Loud buzzing and drilling...]" "[Glass shatters]" "Woman:" "I'm sorry, we'll come back another day." "[Loudly]: oh, were you knocking?" "I couldn't hear you" "What... what is your problem?" "What?" "Oh, my goodness." "I hope our construction isn't disturbing your business" "I am so sorry." "[Loud buzzing and drilling]" "Bye, bye." "She's right." "If we're late with our rent, even once, they can kick us out." "Doesn't give us a lot of options." "There is always my college money." "No, it's called your college money for a reason." "You let me worry about the store." "You just focus on school." "Get a jump on your future classmates." "Yeah, I'll get right on that." "[...]" "When gray" "Meets light" "It creates new color that" "Stay lost" "Inside" "Till they find each other, then" "[Person vocalizing...]" "[Humming]" "[Vocalizing...]" "[Singing indistinctly]" "Ooh, ooh" "Are you the voice?" "Are you the one that sang with me?" "No." "It is you, isn't it?" "Maybe." "How did you know my music?" "I..." "I... no, I, I can explain this." "Where did you... my trash can." "No, no." "Well, yeah, it's." "But it's not just yours it... it's my job" "They were in the trash for a reason." "But they're good" "I mean they're really good" "I just, I sang with you that night when I heard you play" "I just, I couldn't help myself" "And you wrote words to my song?" "No, I don't know, it was just like, in me, I guess." "I heard your music and then I... it was like you saw what I was trying to say." "...saw what you were trying to say." "Yeah." "I'm Joey" "Oh, Ally." "Hey." "Hey." "[Clears throat]" "You know, I practically grew up in this mall" "But I've never been in here before." "It's the secret underbelly." "There's lots of places in the mall that regular people... aren't allowed to see." "Yeah, I bet." "You want to see my favorite?" "So the guys and I, we put this band together." "We were just about to get our big break" "Like, with this big AR guy." "Everything got stolen." "Guitars, our amps, everything." "You know my mom's store has got all that kind of stuff." "Yeah, I know. [Laughs]" "We've had our nose s pressed against your window since we started working here." "[Laughs]" "We're just trying to save up enough." "I can tell it's pretty important to you." "Yeah." "Also, I really owe the guys, 'cause it's kind of my fault that everything got stolen." "Oh, how?" "I was stupid." "Trusted the wrong people." "Boys are dumb." "Yeah." "I want to show you something." "Ooh, yeah" "When gray" "Meets light" "It creates new colors that" "Stay lost" "Inside" "Till they find each other" "A world that you never seen before" "Starts moving in slow motion" "Both: am I living now?" "Out loud" "I'm not afraid somehow" "To let you see right through me" "Yeah" "I must be dreaming" "Wide awake" "This world" "So real" "Like a kaleidoscope made clear" "To touch" "To feel" "What if it made it disappear?" "With just a chance that you might change" "I'd rather breathe this moment... am I living now?" "Out loud" "And I'm not afraid" "Somehow" "To let you see right through me" "Wait, I must be dreaming, wide awake" "Yeah... yeah, yeah, yeah" "Wide awake, wide awake" "Yeah... yeah, yeah, yeah... yeah" "Yeah, yeah" "Oh" "Am I living now?" "Out loud" "And I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)" "Somehow (somehow)" "To let you see right through me, no" "Am I living now?" "Out loud" "And I'm not afraid somehow" "To let you see right through me" "I must be dreaming wide awake (I must be dreaming)" "I must be dreaming wide awake." "[Song ends]" "Pete: dudes?" "Come on, man, if Dori catches you, she'll put my butt in a sling." "It's cool, man" "Sorry, Pete." "Yeah, I'm sorry too, you know." "Guys..." "Joey..." "oh, not funny, man." "So... so, I'll, um, see you tomorrow?" "You know where to find me." "Yeah, going through my trash. [Laughs]" "Bye." "All right. [Chuckles]" "Actually, wait, um..." "[Sawing and hammering]" "[Sighs] and you know that she's only doing it to force us to leave." "What a total jerk." "What are you gonna do?" "I don't know, I mean, it's becoming serious." "People are starting to cancel their lessons." "Sorry, what did I miss?" "Ben: what took you so long?" "Finally, gosh." "Hey, guys." "Hey." "Hey." "You're been intentionally tryin to accidentally run into those janitor guys again, haven't you?" "Yes." "Well, did you see 'em?" "Oh, my god, I look too fierce... hey." "Oh, my gosh, it's a hot janitor guy." "Hi." "Hey, Joey." "Uh, could we join you guys?" "Yeah." "Cool." "What, Joey, what?" "Oh, my gosh, he is so hot." "Wait, have you been holding out on us?" "Hey." "I don't think he's all that hot" "Well, he is." "You need to tell me everything." "Is he a good kisser?" "How big are his hands?" "Mia... these are the guys." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "Guys, you can sit." "Yeah, sit." "I'm Mia" "Well, I guess I'll get back to work." "Yeah, ok." "What's your name?" "[Whispers]: dude..." "she scares me." "Mind hanging out of a spare guitar string?" "In case yours breaks?" "Mm-Hm." "[Laughter]" "Yo, Rick, check this out." "[Grunts]" "Wow, you're, uh, a real rocker." "Sounds a whole lot better than my mop." "Some critics might disagree." "Let's see what the critics have to say about this." "Let's go" "Everybody caught up in the wheel of fortune" "Virtual life, well, it can get so boring" "Isolation, suffocation, we all need a big vacation" "Just get lost in the wall of sound" "Music makes us come together now" "Don't you want to get it, gotta get it before it's gone" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on" "Don't you want to do it, gotta do it, that's what you want" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on... yeah, whoo." "Don't you know it's all about the liberation?" "Gotta use it or lose it, no hesitation" "Take a lesson, stop the stressing, here' a cure for your depression" "Just get lost in the wall of sound" "Alexa?" "...us come together now" "Don't you want to get it, gotta get it before it's gone" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on" "Don't you want to do it, gotta do it, that's what you want" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on... everybody got their own music" "Playing 'round in their head" "But when we all bring it together" "Ain't nothing better" "Ain't nothing better... oh, oh, oh" "Don't you want to get it, gotta get it before it's gone" "Get what you want, come on, come on, get your, get your rock on" "Don't you want to do it, gotta do it, that's what you want" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on" "Don't you want to get it, gotta get it before it's gone" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on" "Don't you want to do it, gotta do it, that's what you want" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on" "Come on, come on, get your, get your rock on" "[Song ends, cheering]" "[Screams]: what is going on in here?" "They're all ruined." "Do you know how much these cost?" "Yeah, I was the one who tagged the prices." "Don't be smart." "You have to start thinking about the consequences of what you do." "Life is not all singing and dancing, Ally." "Mom, we, we were just trying to... help." "I mean, did you see all the people that their music brought into the store?" "Oh, did any of those people buy anything?" "Exactly." "Well..." "I'm really sorry if we upset your mom today." "No, it's, it's not you guys, it's the store." "Yeah." "And me. [Chuckles]" "She tried doing the whole music thing when she was younger." "Be a professional singer, but... it didn't work out." "And now we're barely getting by, and... she told me that, um... well, what does that have to do with you?" "Deep down, I think that she knows that I want to do it too." "And I kind of sort of got into new england conservatory." "What, are you serious?" "That's awesome" "To you, yeah, but..." "I'm terrified as to what she's gonna say when she finds out." "I mean... she wants me to go to Ohio State College for Business." "I don't even really know what studying business means, like... [sighs]" "But just 'cause she didn't?" "make it doesn't mean that you're not going to, you know" "You're not her" "Plus, you're..." "You're pretty talented" "I'm sorry, that was way too... no, no, it, no... step out of the car with your hands up." "Joey:" "Pete, you're killing me, dude." "Dude, you're killing me" "If Dori catches you..." "Ally:" "I'm sorry, Pete." "[Mouthing silently]" "[Phone rings]" "Hi, daddy." "Ok, so I was gonna wait and talk to you about this at our special dinner... but I just can't wait, I'm gonna tell you right now, ok." "So what do you think about putting a Madison'" "In every single one of your malls?" "That way we could spend so much more time together." "That sounds great, sweetie." "You're not coming for our dinner, are you?" "They rearranged my schedule, and I can't change it." "You're not mad, are you?" "No, I know you're busy." "Business is war, Maddy, and battles rarely happen when you want them to." "Man: here you go, sir." "I'm coming to the summer slam and for your big launch, I'll take you to dinner then." "I promise." "Ok, bye." "[Screams]" "Why is it taking you so long to get me what I want?" "I am." "It's only been... uh, please don't call your father." "Do I have to do everything myself?" "[Gasps and sniffles]" "Surprise." "I thought they took it away." "It was supposed to be shipped to the main warehouse." "But it got lost in translation." "He means lost in transit." "And you know, I thought you could use a pick me up." "Ally: yeah." "What's all this for?" "Uh, the, uh, Huxley mall summer slam..." "Hey, what's it called, anyway?" "The Huxley mall summer slam." "[Imitating cheering]" "I've already got the toy number worked out, I'm the star." "I should enter my designs, that'll show my mom." "Awesome, hey, I'll model" "Yeah, you're really good at wearing clothes." "Yeah, it's just the walking you're gonna have to worry about." "Dude, drummers just have to sit down." "I can have time to practice walking." "That's right." "Skylight tonight?" "10:00?" "10:00." "Hey, you know, you guys should totally perform at the summer slam." "You know, everyone loved it when you rocked out at Ally'" "Yeah, they should, as a part of the "stay tuned" submission." "Get people grooving, maybe inspire someone to buy an instrument." "Take up lessons, bring in business, yeah, that's a great idea" "Yeah, and we could totally play one of your songs too." "One of our songs." "Joey?" "Yeah." "Dori: you're needed up in store number 63." "Look, can someone else do it, I, I got plans." "No." "It's kind of a job security thing for you." "And for me." "What?" "Nothing." "Just... get up there." "You're here." "Yeah, so where'd the emergency?" "Well, I'm sure you're heard about my plans for my new store." "Well, this store needs a face." "A face for all of our ads." "A face that makes women think, "I want that."" "Mm-Hmm." "You're that face." "[Laughs] what?" "Yeah, I don't know what you're drinking here" "But maybe you should take it easy, you know?" "Eat some bread or something." ""Some bread," [laughs], you're funny." "Look, I've heard you sing." "And you're amazing." "And I've got a feeling that underneath all of this... you're got the potential to be a lot more than you realize." "Well, thanks for thinking of me, but..." "I actually gotta meet someone right now..." "So I'm, I'm gonna get going." "What's all this?" "Just a little something I picked up for... you and your crew."

"I saw one here that is gonna be just... perfect." "So are we gonna be using Ally's songs?" "Yeah, that doesn't" "It's Joey's song too, see?" "And I'll give her credit in the program." "Actually, the guys are right, maybe it's not cool" "Joey... my dad plays golf with the presidents of major record labels." "I'm doing all of this because I think you're talented, and I want you to make it." "But if you don't want it bad enough to do what it takes, then..." "I'm wasting my time." "Joey:" "Ok, wait."

"Yeah, yeah, I know." "But I want to do music." "I mean..." "Mom, it's my dream" "Ally, there, there are dreams and there are pipe dreams, ok?" "You don't want to study business, that's fine." "Just don't go after something unattainable." "Un-, unattain-, Mom..." "I'm good enough to get in" "So are hundreds of others this year" "And thousands more that didn't' make it in music and quit." "Well, they gave up, I'm not going to" "It's not giving up." "It's being practical." "Look, I can't even pay my rent now."

"And you didn't talk to me about it at first?" "It's not your decision to make." "Oh." "Ok, um... look, it's the best thing for us." "It'll get us both out of debt" "It'll give you the rest of your college tuition." "This way we're not stuck with years of student loan payments."

"Technically, it's yours and Joey'" "Al, let, please, let me explain." "You add in a couple of nursery school rhymes" "And you think that gives you the right to steal my song?" "That's not how it is." "Oh, well, then, tell me, how is it?" "I happen to think that Joey's lyrics elevated what was a mediocre tune." "Maddy, would you cut that out?" "[Laughs] what, it's true." "You gave it soul." "Ally: he has no soul to give." "He's already sold that off." "Um, I'm pretty sure she just called you the devil." "Yeah, I got that, thanks." "[Sighs]" "Ok, look, I'm gonna give you some advice." "You're never gonna get anywhere in life unless you can see an opportunity and take it." "See, that's the difference between me and you."
