"Backstory." "Back." "S-tori." "Backstory." "Why did you keep saying backstory?" "Excellent question!" "When it comes to television shows and Hollywood movies, most of the writing is terrible." " Hey, that's true." " Don't we know it." "So, good actors must make up their own "backstory"..." "A history for the character." "Who is this person I'm playing?" "Where did I come from?" "What is this stain?" "Ooo, the police found." "A weird stain on the seat of my brother's car." "Uh." "What kinda stain?" "They don't know yet." "They're taking the car seat down to "the lab"." "Maybe we should just talk about backstory." "All right, let's take a look at this performance by me." "From an old tv show called "city bus nights"..." "There I am, guest starring as the character of "loogie"." "So for my backstory..." " Hi, sorry to interrupt!" " What is it, boy?" "!" "Mason Thornesmith is having a major press conference right now." "About the platinum music awards." "I got it... they're streaming it on The Slap." " Put it on the tv!" " Bring it on." "Okay." "Now, let's see..." " W... w... w..." " Move!" "...Last year, the platinum music awards." "Were watched by over two hundred million people, worldwide." "And this year, I am very excited to announce." "That we will begin the platinum music awards." "With a performance by a complete unknown." "Is everyone watching?" "!" "Is everyone watching the press conference?" "!" "Okay!" "Beginning now, we are conducting a worldwide search." "For a fresh young talent who will begin the award show with an original song..." "And become an overnight music sensation." "Now, please hold your questions." "Please hold your questions, thank you." "So for the next forty-eight hours, we'll be accepting online video auditions at "superstar bam" dot com." "Yes!" "Yes!" "I so got this!" "Shut up!" "So... all you young performers out there." "Who feel you have superstar potential..." "Show us what you've got." " That's amazing." " That's good." "Alright, alright, settle down, cool your jets, sit." "You can all work on your platinum music award auditions later, alright?" " Right." " Yeah." " Alright." " Sure." "Now." "I was talking about backstory." "Now, when I played "loogie"..." "I made a list of character traits for each letter of the name." "So, for l..." "I was..." "lonely."

" There's my girl." " What's going on?" "Tori Vega." "Just spit it in my hands!" "Come on." "Oh God it's warm." "Are you done?" "Tori Vega..." "How would you like to sing the opening number." "On this year's platinum music awards?" "Yes!" "Oh my gosh yes yes!" " What's that on her face?" " It looks like mustard." "All right, cut!" "Let's get another take, shall we?" "Wipe her face, somebody." "Everyone, back to one!" "Outside... come on, come on." "Hey!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "Ya did it." "I did it!" "I am gonna sing on the platinum music awards!" "I know!" "Uh, do you want your sandwich back?" "Okay, all right." " Whatcha got?" " Tori Vega's here." "Ah, brilliant, good good." "She's got some friends with her." "Flarminy!" "All right, we'll dispose of the friends." " Alright, show 'em in." " Come on in, guys." "Tori!" "Tori Vega!" "Come here, darling." " Hi mister Thornesmith." " Oh, now, now." "None of that..." " You call me Mason." " Oh, Mason." "And you've brought friends." "Delightful." " How ya doin'?" " Hiiii Mason." "Wait a minute, didn't you two girls send in auditions?" "Yeah, mine was the one you didn't pick because you picked Tori's." " Ho ho, we got a brassy one here." " Yeah, I got a lotta brass." "Mine was also one you didn't pick!" " Yes, well..." " Hey, I'm here." "Sorry." "Where were you?" "Well, when I was in the men's room," "I opened one of the stall doors." "... and sittin' right there..." "Bruno Mars." "What?" "So I was all, "oh my God, Bruno Mars, you're like one of my idols"..." "And then he says, "thanks, but I'm on the toilet." "Could ya shut the door?"" "So I say, "sure" and I shut the door..." "And then Bruno Mars says," ""I meant, "could you leave the stall and then shut the door?"" "And I'm like, "bro, I know you're famous, but can ya just like..." "Hey, hey..." "Maybe stop talking." "So listen, why don't you all come in, sit down, sit down." " Oh, thank you." " I will." " Thank you." " Now, Tori..." "Are you ready to sing the opening number." "On this year's platinum music awards?" "Well sure." "I mean, but I'm also pretty nervous." " Have some bibble." " What?" " What's bibble?" " It's a British snack." "You've never had bibble?" "Oh, that's a bloody crime!" "I don't understand it." "Well, have some bibble now." "There's some bibble, and there, and there, and there." " All right, I'll have a taste." " Okay." " I'm on a diet, but okay." " Uh-huh?" " Mmmm..." " Oh, yeah." " Really good mouth feel..." " I like it..." "Tell ya what:" "Marshall, why don't you take 'em." "All down to Barney's bibblery, get each of them a 10-pound sack of bibble." " Oh, wow." "Thank you." " That's a lot of." " 10 pounds?" " No, that's cool." "No, no, no." "I insist... my treat." " Take the limo." " Zeen?" "!" "Indeed." "Go on, off ya go." "Come on." " Thank you, Mason." "... bibbie." "Wow, it's very generous." "Oh Tori, Tori, not you..." "We have some talking to do." "Sit." "Oh." "Okay I'll sit." "Your dream of being a pop superstar is coming true." "It is going to happen to you." "Because I am gonna make it happen." "To you." "Wow, cool." "So what song should I sing?" " I couldn't care less." " Oh, great." "Wait, what?" "You see, all of this..." "It's all about you." "Well, that is, it's about me re-creating you into something wonderful." " You wanna re-create me?" " Are you thirsty?" "Did my bibble make you thirsty?" "Yeah a little." "Yeah?" "Gwynneth." "Oh, thanks." "What is this?" "That is citrus flavored juice, made by my grandmum... mimsy." "She sent it all the way from London." "Have a sip." "Wow, okay." "Oop!" "Pop!" "Ha ha." "Mmmmm." "Whoa mimsy." " Good yeah?" " So good." "That's not citrus juice from my mimsy." "Hmm?" "You just drank tuna fish water." "Whaaaaaat?" "!" "But you pretended to like it." "Because you wanted me to like you." "You hated that tuna juice, but you put on a show." "You actually juiced a tuna?" "!" "See, the audience likes to see a personality." "A character." "The music... whatever." "Mason's saying that you must let us create an image for you." " So... you wanna like, give me a make-over?" "Yes." "But you mustn't tell anyone we're putting you up to this." "Well, I can tell my parents and my friends, though, right?" " Oooh." " Absolutely not." " No one." "No." " No, no, no, no." "No." "This is far too big..." "You can't trust anyone." " Except us." " Exactly." "And we'll never tell you anything that isn't true." "Starting now." "Hey." " Whoa." "Tori." " Heyyyy Cat." " Cool outfit." " Thanks." "Whatcha got there?" "It's my sack of bibble." "It's really heavy so I put it in a wagon." "And you needed to bring all of it to school?" "I can't help it!" "It's so good." "I can't believe Mason bought you this much." "This isn't even the sack he got me." " What?" "!" " I finished that one." "I went back and bought two more sacks." "I think I might have a bibble problem." " Well, it is pretty good stuff." " Don't touch it!" "It's my bibble." "Oh I'm sorry... were we all supposed to dress stupid today?" "Hey!" "Every student at Hollywood arts." "Should feel free to dress as stupidly as they choose." "One time for Halloween I wore my mom's dress." "And the other kids made fun of me." "It wasn't Halloween..." "It was a random Tuesday in July." "I was experimenting!" "Cat." "That is a lot of bibble." "Yeah, please don't look at it." "... it's all for me." "Cat, don't be stingy, you just give him a little nibble of the bibble." " Nooo!" " So, why are you dressed like that?" "Not that it's bad, just..." "Why?" "Just 'cuz." "Yeah, "just cuz" she thinks she's a big star now." "I don't think I'm..." "Look, I just thought I'd wear something a little different today." "I mean, this has nothing to do with me singing on the platinum music awards." " Liar." " Aw c'mon, Jade." "That's not how you call Tori a liar through cough-talk." "You do it like:" "Liar." "Liar." "C'mon, everybody try it." " Liar." " Liar." " Liar." " I'm not lying!" "Okay?" "Just regular ol' Tori on a regular ol' day." " So, can we please just..." " Just this way." " Tori." "Tori." " Ms. Tori, over here." "Hey!" "Hey!" "You people!" "Paparazzi people!" "Out!" "Get out!" "Whoa!" "It's the voice of plankton." " No, I am not the..." " Plankton, here." "I mean... "Karen, I must have "the secret formula for the krabby patties."" "Nice, nice!" "Let's get a shot of plankton with Tori!" "Oh sure sure... huh?" "How about this?" " Nice, right?" " Tori." "Tori." "Right here, Tori." "Mason?" "Your four o'clock is here." " Hi." " Ah, Tori you're early... good, good." "Yeah." "Uh, my friend Cat said that she really needs to talk to you." "Mister Thornesmith, you know that store, Barney's bibblery?" " Mm-hmm." " They won't sell me any more bibble." " Why not?" " They think I might have a problem." " Would you mind calling for me?" " Sure, later, all right?" " Noo!" "I need more bibble now!" " Now, Cat." "Tori and I need to have a little word in private." "So why don't you just put on these dark sunglasses..." "And these headphones..." " But I don't understand." " Just listen to this very loud music, dance around a while..." "And I'll give you some bibble." "But I don't see why..." "Ooooo!" "Now Tori..." "You are doing a magnificent job with the makeup and these outfits." "I'm ready for bibble." "You really think I need to change who I am, and be outrageous, for people to like my music?" " Oh, absolutely." " Hundred percent." "And see, we've already got you looking the part of the outrageous pop star And now you've got to play the part." " I... don't..." " Rebellious." " Dangerous." " Yeah." "The sort of wild girl who'd go to a posh restaurant in Beverly hills, get furious with a server, flip over a table Grab a plate of ravioli  And dump that ravioli right down a policeman's pants." "I'm dancing for bibble." "A policeman's pants?" "Isn't that illegal?" " Not a real policeman." " No, no." "A stuntman." "But everyone will think it's all real." " And people will think I'm a terrible person." " Precisely." "And that will create buzz." "Get everyone talking about you." "Well, can... can I at least tell my friends that it's fake?" "Oh no." "No no no no no no." " Don't be a silly person." " No one likes a silly." "I'm sorry." "I don't wanna be a silly." "Come on now, I'll take you upstairs..." "Katy Perry's up there cutting her new track." "Wow." " Wait, ravioli down his pants?" " It'll be a nice feeling." "Hello?" "Somebody bibble me!" "Water?" "What?" "!" "Oh." "Yeah." "Water's good." "Sure." "Hey Tori look... it's bud alderman... the astronaut." " Uh-huh." " He walked on the moon!" "Yeah, walking is great exercise." "Somethin' bothering' you?" "What?" "Nothing, why thought you'd say that?" "'Cuz you seem all freaked out." "I feel like I'm with my grandma." " A-ha ha ha ha ha ha." "That laugh seemed insincere." "Okay, we have a chopped salad for the gentleman..." "Ah yeah, that's some legit salad." "And for the lady..." "Lobster salad with avocado." "What?" "!" "What is this?" "!" " Uh, well you ordered the..." " Where's the manager?" "!" " Tori, maybe you..." " Stay outta this!" "Well." "Ma'am, if you would rather have something else I'd be..." "No!" "What I'd rather do is see you get fired for being an incompetent pre-turd!" "Check please." "My salad!" " Excuse me, young lady." " Give me that ravioli!" "There's no need to be this upset over some..." "Oh my stars!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "That wasn't the cop!" "Where's the stunt cop?" "!" "No, no, no, no." "It's all right." "It's all right..." "This is so much better." " Oh." " Is there a problem here?" "I think there is." "Hurry, let's see it!" "I don't know about this." "What if Tori walks in?" "I wouldn't worry about that." "She's been skipping' classes all week." "Yeah, 'cuz she thinks she's hot whiz." " Sikowitz, Cat has bibble!" " Cat..." "No, it's not mine, I'm holding it for a friend!" "But I need it!" "I mean, my friend needs it!" " Cat, here..." " What's this?" "It's a special gum." "If you're cravin' bibble, just chew some of that." "It'll make you feel better." " See, just unwrap it, and then..." " I know how gum works!" "Okay, here we go..." "Excuse me, young lady." "There's no need to be this upset over some..." "Oh my stars!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "That is disappointing and shocking." "It's disashocking." "And hilarious." "It's disashockinglarious." "Yeah, Tori has a big problem." "I can't believe the whole "being famous" thing has already gone to her head." "I just think she's probably caught up in some sort of And so in 1827, the television was invented by... t.V. Smith..." "And that's why this television is here right now, there's no other reason, we certainly weren't watching." "Okay." "I know you guys were watching that video of me at the restaurant." " You were literally, like, t.V. Smith-conceited." "Can we please just forget about it?" " Good luck." " It's the number one video on splashface." "Yup." "So the whole world knows what you're turning into." " I'm not turning... it's just..." " Just what?" "Complicated." "So you deny that you've totally changed how you dress?" "No, but..." "Do you deny throwing a tantrum in that restaurant?" " No, I did, but... but..." " But but but." "Looks like someone's got a bad case of the buts." "Maybe she should see a butt doctor." "I got a guy." "Uh, Cat, maybe you wanna back off that bibble gum..." "Don't tell me what to do!" "Andre..." "You were at the restaurant with Tori." "What's your take on what happened?" "Well, when the server brought her salad, Tori didn't like it, and y'know... words were said..." "Tables were flipped..." "And a great man who walked on the moon got ravioli in his pants." " But that's not fair!" " How's the truth not fair?" "Wait, but..." "Cat..." "You don't think I'm obnoxious and awful, do you?" "You've got to take that gum out of your mouth." "Byeeeeee." "I deserve this." " What is that?" " A bowl of mayonnaise." "For what?" "I read online that soaking your face in mayonnaise." "For ten minutes a day makes a girl prettier." " Tori, it's Beck." " Beck!" "Oh." "Oh hey, Beck..." "I didn't know you were coming over." " You got a little somethin'..." " I'll be right back!" "Y'know... for a girl who's about to open." "The platinum music awards in front of like a billion people, you don't look too happy." " I'm not." " Why?" "'Cuz I don't wanna be..." "'Cuz I just wish that I could tell everyone That it's all an act?" "That those people are making you dress and act like a jerk?" " How did you know?" "!" " 'Cuz you're Tori." "You wouldn't act like that unless someone was making you." "Oh my God, you have no idea how happy I am that you know the truth." "But I didn't tell you!" "I never told you I was faking..." " You guessed it!" " Okay." "Now why don't you just stop?" "'Cuz if I don't keep acting like a "bad girl obnoxious rock star"" "they might drop me from the show." "The show is in two days." "They can't fire you." "I don't know." "I'm scared." "Listen..." "Just tell Mason Thornesmith." "That you're not gonna play his little game anymore." " But..." " The world needs to see who you really are." "'Cuz you're awesome." " Oh." " Oh." " Who wants pie?" " Hi." " I gotta go." " Okay, later." "What..." "I don't get it, what are you doin'?" "Just giving you a hand massage." "Well, stop it." " Uh, hello." " Hey, Cat." " Hiii." " Uh, who's the dude?" "Oh." "This is oliver." "My parents hired him to keep me away from bibble." " So he's your bibble guard?" " That's right." "I used to have a bibble problem myself." "And now I help others." "Can't I just have a little bibble?" "No, baby." "You can't." "Oh, she can have a little bit." "Here, Cat..." "Here's a bibble to tide you over." "Oh." " No bibble for Cat." " No bibble for Cat." "You shoulda tried to massage his hand." "Stop acting so nervous." "I'm not acting, I'm super nervous." "Stop." "Mason's gonna be here any second with his dumb camera crew." "To get video of me slapping a delivery man." "Okay, then you'll just explain to Mason that..." "Tori!" " Tori..." " Hey, Mason." " Hey, what?" "Why are you dressed like a pre-turd?" "Did you send her the jellyfish dress... with the tentacles?" " I did!" "I swear it!" " Where's the dress?" "!" "And why aren't you wearing the meat hat?" "Did you send her the meat hat?" "Yes!" "I..." "I cross me heart!" "Tori doesn't wanna wear your jellyfish dress or your meat hat." "Listen to me, young lady." "We have a deal." "Look, I don't wanna be your puppet anymore!" "I don't wanna wear stupid clothes, and stupid makeup, and I don't wanna be mean." "Or flip tables or dump ravioli down former astronauts' pants!" " You forgot one." " What?" "You're also not going to sing on the platinum music awards." "You're out." " They're tomorrow night." " I'm aware." "Beck...?" "!" ""Sir", you're not gonna be able to replace Tori that fast." " Ho-ho, won't I?" " Oh, yeah." "You." "Who, me?" "You gave a rather fantastic audition as I recall." "Thanks." "How would you like to sing the opening number." "Tomorrow night at the platinum music awards?" " No way." " Absolutely." "Come then." "We have much to discuss." "See?" "!" "I mean, obviously, I'm sad I'm not gonna be on the show, but I'm kinda proud that I stood up for myself and..." "Is that really helping anything?" "They say mustard retards pimples." "Oh God, people." " Hey." " Hey." "I brought you a present." " A stuffed dog?" " A special stuffed dog." "Check him out." "That's truly frightening." "Yeah, that's a sick toy, isn't it?" "Ulch." "One sec." "Hello boys." "Come in." "Thanks." "I brought you a plant." "I brought you a little chocolate leaf blower." " That's chocolate?" " Yeah, taste it!" "No!" "You guys." "Listen." "I really appreciate you coming over here to try and cheer me up." "But I'm fine." "Sorry." "I'm not too sure how this puppy works..." " Turn it off!" " Right." "Uh." "I got it." "Hey." "Cat wants to video chat you." " Hiiiiii!" " Hey, cutie." " Hi, Cat." " Hey, girl." " You remember oliver." " Hi everyone." " Cat... where are you?" " Uhhh..." "I'm in the bathtub." "La lala lala lala..." "You're not in the bathtub!" "We're backstage at the Boomerang theater." "Cat, you don't have to lie." "It's okay if you're with Jade helping her get ready." " For the show tomorrow night." " You're sure you're not mad at me?" " I'm sure." " Good." "Bring me some bibble." " You're my only Hope." " No bibble!" "Oliverrrrrrr!" "Cat, I'm not getting you bibble." " Anything else?" " No." "Oh!" "Jade said you guys are invited to come here and watch her rehearse." "Ah, no thanks." "You guys wanna go watch her?" "Rehearse for the platinum music awards?" " Noooo." " Oh, no." " Nuh-uh." "We came here to hang with you." " If you wanna go you can go." " Thanks!" "Yay!" "Wait, you left your dog in the freezer!" "You're taking my chocolate leaf blower?" "!" "Can't I just have one handful?" " The answer is no." " But I just..." " Cat." " Oh hey." "Take this." "Now Mason wants me to try on the blue skirt." " Why, he doesn't like this one?" " I think this skirt is pretty." "Just go get the blue one." "Come on, oliver." "First we had to get the red skirt, now we gotta go get the blue skirt..." "Life is hard." "I shoulda just kept my mouth shut." "No, you were right." "I mean, if I'm gonna be successful," "I want it to be 'cuz of my talent, not for throwing tantrums and wearing meat hats." "Well... can't you be famous for your music and wear a meat hat?" "Seriously, meat whenever you want." "Just... right out of your hat." " Right out of my hat?" " Right out of your hat." "Into your mouth." " What's that?" " So..." "Yeah...?" "Uhhh... oh..." "You..." " I'm sorry..." " No, I'm sorry, I..." " I didn't mean to..." " No no, you didn't... you..." " Then why can't we kiss?" " 'Cuz. 'Cuz of Jade." "Jade and I broke up." " Yeah, but... kissing your friend's ex-boyfriend..." "Wait." "Wait, wait... since when are you and Jade friends?" "Last week she took your hamburger." "She just rubbed it against her bare foot." "What?" "!" "I ate feet meat?" "!" "And she took your spot on the platinum music awards." "Look, I mean, I guess Jade and I aren't really "friends" friends..." "But we're kinda friends..." "I think..." "And kissing her ex-boyfriend..." "I can't do that to a friend." " We're back." " We got the blue skirt!" "Check one." "Check, check one." "The platinum music awards." "Twelve minutes away, people." "Going live in twelve." "What don't you understand?" "Why can't you just let me smell some bibble?" "You can't even have a whiff of bibble." "It's too sweet." "It's too good." " Hey, what's up Cat?" " Hey, little red thing." " Hiiii." " So where's Jade?" "You can't talk to her, she's over there getting ready." "C'mon everyone." "I'll take you to our seats." " I get the aisle seat." " You can have the aisle seat." "For bibble!" " No!" " Dang it!" "I'm gonna go get some safety pins for you to hold that down." "Thanks." " Wow... incredible outfit." " I look like an idiot." "A... pretty pink idiot..." "With a..." "Thing on her head." "Thanks." "Didn't expect to see you here." "Well... everyone else was coming to cheer you on, so..." "Figured I would, too." "And..." "You look way better in that than I would have." "This isn't right." " Yeah... it is a little tight around your..." " No." "Not the stupid outfit." "This." "Me." " I don't..." " This was supposed to be your night." "This was your big chance, so for me to go out there and..." "And...?" "I can't do that to a friend." "Or even to you." "Fifteen seconds!" " You ready?" " Waiting for my cue." "Hey, Rick." "Did you get the script change?" " Script change, no." " Ah, those guys." "Give me that." " Have a good show." " Uh... you, too!" "Does anyone have any bibble?"
