Big Time Rush - Big Time Merchandise Transcript

Rocque Records building.

Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan are walking along the corridor.

Logan: Bring on the merchandise!

James: Hope we get our own special fragrance like Jay-Z.

Kendall: I wanna play the Big Time Rush video game.

Carlos: And I wanna play with the BTR Zombie Attack Squad action figures!

They walked into a room. Griffin, CEO of RCT GlobalNet Sanyoid and two assistants are getting ready to present a presentation. Three items are covered and put on a table.

Griffin: Have a seat, fellas. 'Cause we're all excited to discover what BTR merchandise lies beneath this shiny cloth. Hit it, marketers.

Female marketer: Boys, our crack staff has spent the last year researching, developing, patenting, and testing the exact merchandise that will amaze our retail partners.

Male marketer: Are you ready for the Big Time Rush products that will be flying off the store shelves all over the world?

James: Bring it on!

All: (overlapping chatter)

Logan: So ready.

Gustavo: Bring it!

Female marketer: I present to you, the Big Time Rush toilet scrubbers.

She lifts the cover up. It revealed four toilet scrubbers with the faces of the BTR members glued on.

(Background SFX: Toilet flushing.)

Male marketer: Big Time Rush horse shampoo.

He lifts the cover up. It revealed a large jug of horse shampoo. The label reads "Big Time Horse Shampoo" and it had a picture of the boys next to a horse.

(Background SFX: Horse neighing.)

Female marketer: And the Big Time Rush Action Set.

She lifts the cover up. It revealed four dolls dressed to look like the members.

Kendall: The dolls aren't horrible.

Female marketer: That say all your favorite big time catchphrases. (presses button on Logan doll)

Logan doll: (high boyish voice) Let's get some hockey balls and play a hockey game!

The boys get shocked.

Female marketer presses button on the Kendall doll.

Kendall doll: (raspy, cartoonish voice) I made boom-boom. Better change me!

The boys get angry.

Griffin: I love it! What else do they say?

The marketers press all dolls' buttons at the same time.

The dolls all sing the "ah-ah-ah-oh-ohh" part of the Big Time Rush theme song in high-pitched voices.

Rocque Records boardroom.

Griffin applauds.

Griffin: Excellent work, you two. You're really thinking outside the box.

James: Is there any way you could put them back inside the box?

Gustavo: Yeah, because when I think of Big Time Rush, I think of, (yells) NOT HORSE SHAMPOO!!!

Griffin: These products are unique and different, which is exactly the kind of merchandise Sam Selmart loves.

Logan: Sam Selmart? As in Selmart stores?

Griffin takes out a remote. He presses a button.

The screen showed a commercial for Selmart stores.


Commercial.

Sam Selmart is seen standing outside a Selmart store.

Sam: Howdy friends. Sam Selmart for Selmart stores. Looky here. This week you can save on home electronics (points to on-screen graphics: picture of stereos and picture of a flat-screen TV), puppet gum (points to on-screen graphic: picture of puppet), and a Springmatic turbo-adjustable bed.

Cut to footage of a hospital bed with the adjustable bed piece leaning up and down.

Sam: Now let me tell you something folks, with a thousand settings, this thing will get you out of bed quicker than a rattlesnake in a sleeping bag.

Cut to Sam standing behind a white background with the Selmart logo.

Sam: Selmart, over 9,000 stores where you can (reads slogan below Selmart logo) shop for more, for less, for more.

Commercial ends.


Griffin: That's the one.

Carlos: Griffin, don't we think that these products are...

Logan: Highly embarrassing?

Kendall: And I don't say, "I made boom-boom".

Marketers: You just did.

Griffin: This is not about what you like, this is about what Sam Selmart likes. Which is why our marketing team is going to pitch these items to him at 5 o'clock today at his annual West Coast product search.

Female marketer: Keep the prototypes. (throws the dolls in each of the members' hands) Play with the dolls. Wash a horse.

Male marketer: I think you'll like these products as much as we do.

The boys, Gustavo, and Kelly all get up from their seats angrily.

Griffin: And, I don't wanna hear any complaining, or yelling.

Recording studio.

The boys all silently fight while in the sound booth.

Kelly: (into the microphone) Okay, Griffin's gone.

The boys walk out of the sound booth. Gustavo walks in.

James: Gustavo, if these (holds up toilet scrubbers) end up on Selmart's shelves, we will be a laughingstock.

Gustavo: Yeah, I know.

Logan: I hate being laughed at. Like that one time in the third grade when these kids pantsed me in the cafeteria.

James, Carlos, Kendall: We said we were sorry.

Carlos shows the dolls to Gustavo.

Carlos: And do these guys even look like a robot zombie attack squad?

Carlos presses the button on the Kendall doll.

Kendall doll: Kendall's gotta go potty!

Kendall snatches the doll from Carlos.

Kendall: (yells at doll) I do not say that!

Kelly: I have to agree with the guys on this one, these products are total boom-boom.

Gustavo: Which is why, (snatches the toilet scrubbers from James) we are taking over this pitch meeting and presenting our own big-time merchandise.

Gustavo throws the toilet scrubbers in the trash can.

Kendall: Right. Me, you, Kelly, and Carlos will stay here and record new cool catchphrases for our dolls, that aren't. 

Kendall presses the button on the Carlos doll.

Carlos doll: (high cartoonish voice) Yo-yo, let's get a hang down low on the snip-snap!

Logan: Yeah, James and I will head up our own research and development.

James: And create a big-time product that Sam Selmart and the whole world will want.

Carlos: All right, guys! Let's get a hang down low on the snip-snap!

Kendall: Stop it!

Palm Woods hotel, lobby.

Mr. Bitters, the hotel's manager stands behind his desk as a group of kids in karate gear pass by.

Mr. Bitters: Here come our future karate champs! Go team!

One of the students karate chops a sign in half.

Mr. Bitters: NO KARATE IN THE LOBBY!

Katie walks up to the front desk.

Katie: Hey. I need a new Palm Woods robe for my mom. I got a stain on it.

Mr. Bitters: (mockingly) The amazing Katie Knight can't get a stain out?

***

Flashback.

Knights' hotel room.

Katie is using a brush to scrub a stain off the robe.

Katie: Mom will never know. Come on, little stain. Come on, little stain!

Katie's bottom accidentally hits the garbage disposal button.

The garbage disposal turns on. 

Katie: Whoa!

Katie tries to take the robe out of the garbage disposal, but it is stuck. The robe was getting torn to shreds.

(SFX: Burping.)

Flashback ends.

***

Katie: No.

Mr. Bitters: Replacement robes are available at the Palm Woods store.

Katie: What Palm Woods store?

Mr. Bitters puts a cash register and a sign reading "Open" on the desk. He then brings out a robe.

Mr. Bitters: Welcome to the Palm Woods store. One replacement robe, 45 bucks.

Katie: 45 bucks?!

Mr. Bitters: It has microfibers.

Katie takes out her wallet.

***

Knights' hotel room.

James and Logan walk inside.

James: Okay, we need to combine our strengths to create the perfect Selmart merchandising product.

Logan: Mine are high IQ, adorable dimples, and chemistry. And yours are?

James: Girls, girls, hair, and girls. So, with your chemistry genius and my knowledge of girls, we can create a totally awesome--

Logan: Chemistry girl?

James: Perfume. Bieber's got one, Usher's got one, and we smell way better than them.

Logan: Okay, I'll set up a mini lab while you gather up all of our favorite odors to combine into BTR's signature scent.

James: (breathy) "Smellevate".

Logan: Which we'll name later.

James and Logan run away.

James: (offscreen) Smellevate is a great name!

***

Recording studio.

The dolls are plugged in the soundboard. Kendall and Carlos are in the sound booth.

Gustavo: Dogs, I passed your dolls' voice chips into the board, so that we can record new, cooler big time catchphrases.

Kendall and Carlos give Gustavo a thumbs-up.

Gustavo: Okay, Carlos is up first. Action!

Carlos: The robot zombies are attacking! Quick, target their reactor hearts! Pew, pew, pew! Pew, pew, pew--

Gustavo: Cut! What are you doing?

Carlos: I believe it's the Big Time Rush Action Set defeating the evil robot zombies.

Kendall: We don't say that.

Carlos: Well, we would, if we were being attacked by evil robot zombies.

Gustavo: Okay, Kendall, you're up next. Action!

Kendall: I'm Kendall. Be cool, everybody.

Carlos: "Be cool"? (mocks Kendall) "Hey, I'm Kendall. Be cool, everybody".

Kendall: It's a lot better than "pew, pew, pew".

Carlos: Are you kidding?! "Be cool" is stupid!

Kendall: Yeah, well, you're stupid!

Kendall and Carlos argue.

Carlos: No, your voice is stupid.

Kendall: No, you're stupid!

Gustavo gets up from his chair.

Gustavo: SHUT IT! SHUT IT FOREVER!!

Kendall and Carlos continue to argue.

Gustavo walks in the sound booth.

Gustavo yells at Kendall and Carlos while in the sound booth.

Kelly makes her way in.

Kelly yells at Gustavo, Kendall, and Carlos while in the sound booth.

Gustavo walks out.

Gustavo: Okay, let's try that again.

Kendall and Carlos hold their headphones.

***

Palm Woods hotel, lobby.

One of the karate students kicks a wooden board in half.

Mr. Bitters: I SAID NO KARATE IN THE LOBBY!

The karate students run away, screaming.

Katie walks up, holding her robe.

Mr. Bitters: What now?

Katie: A new robe. The one you sold me doesn't have a belt.

Mr. Bitters puts a cash register and a sign reading "Open" on the desk.

Mr. Bitters: Sorry, no refunds, returns, or exchanges. Palm Woods store policy. (smiles)

Katie: What? You sold me a defective item.

Mr. Bitters: If you have a complaint, call Customer Service. (hands Katie a sticky note with a phone number)

Katie: Oh, I'm calling.

Katie dials the number on her phone and calls it.

Mr. Bitters' phone rings. He picks it up.

Mr. Bitters: Palm Woods store Customer Service. This is Reginald. How may I help you?

Katie hangs up her phone, angrily.

Katie: This isn't over!

***

Knights' hotel room.

James and Logan had set up a chemistry lab.

James: Okay, some crushed pine needles to remind us of our Minnesota roots.

James drops crushed pine needles into the beaker.

Logan: A pinch of powder of a hockey puck, to evoke our favorite sport.

Logan drops hockey puck powder into the beaker.

James takes out a juice box.

James: A splash of our favorite juice.

James and Logan: Juice Box Juice!

James and Logan pour the juice inside the beaker.

James: Okay, anything else? 

James and Logan take a sniff inside the beaker.

Logan: Perhaps some spice to capture BTR's zest for life.

James: Perfect.

Logan: Okay. Now hurry up. The Selmart pitch is in 45 minutes and I still have to make a fancy box.

James: Okay.

James walks around, searching for something.

James: Spice. Spice, spicy spice...

James opens a drawer and digs into the spices inside.

James: Spicy spice. Where are you, spicy spice?

James puts a salt on the countertop while he continues to dig into the spice drawer.

James: No. Unh-unh. No. Unh-unh.

***

Recording studio.

Kendall and Carlos are recording in the sound booth.

Gustavo: Okay, two more super cool Big Time Rush catchphrases. And, a-go.

Kendall: Gotta live it big-time!

Carlos: Helmets rule!

Gustavo: Perfect! Now to drag the voice files onto the dolls' voice chips.

Gustavo drags files on a computer to an icon with the dolls on it.

Kendall and Carlos walk out of the sound booth.

Gustavo: And we are ready for our Selmart pitch.

Kelly: Are you sure you did that right?

Gustavo: I'm sure we don't have time to talk about it!

Logan and James walk in.

Logan: But do you have time to experience...

James: The one scent that is bold enough to be called...

James shows Gustavo a tray with a perfume bottle and a box reading "Smellevate".

James: (breathy) Smellevate.

Gustavo: Uh, no, because we need to come up with a plan to get rid of Griffin's marketing team so that we can take over that pitch meeting with Sam Selmart.

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan: On it!

The boys emerge wearing tree hats.

Gustavo: No tree hats!

Kendall: Um, tree hats have solved a lot of problems.

James: And, they're awesome.

Logan: Yeah, do you have a better idea? Huh?

Gustavo: Well, there's... uh.. uhh....umm...

As Gustavo continues to stammer, Kelly picks up a phone and makes a call.

Kelly: (Southern accent) Hello, Griffin's marketing team? Yes, this is Selmart West Coast Headquarters. We're gonna need to cancel that merchandising meeting that you've had today. Mr. Selmart's feeling ill.

Kelly hangs up the phone.

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan: Nice!

Gustavo: Let's go!

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan, Gustavo, and Kelly run away and leave.

***

Selmart West Coast Headquarters.

Gustavo, Kelly, Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan arrive wearing business uniforms carrying a table with three items under a cover.

Sam Selmart and his assistant look at the items.

Sam: (Southern accent) Who in the name of candied yams are you?

Kendall: We are the Big Time marketing team of Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan, Gustavo, and Kelly.

Sam: Do me the names. I'mma call y'all "Clem". Whatcha got, Clem?

Gustavo: Sir, I'm sure you'll agree, the items under this fancy, shiny--

Sam: Stop right there, Big Clem. You see them boxes behind you?  They are empty. I wanna fill 'em with merchandise, get 'em to my stores and make me some money. Now quit ticking my side parts and pitch me.

Kendall: Right. The first item you're going to see is a classic. The Big Time Action Set.

Kendall lifts the cover up. It revealed four dolls dressed to look like the members.

Carlos: Which include some of your favorite big time catchphrases.

Carlos presses the button on the Kendall doll.

Kendall doll: (Kendall's voice) You're stupid.

Sam is shocked.

Kendall: You're stupid.

Sam: Them dolls just sass me?

Gustavo: Uh, no. What the doll is supposed to say is, uh...

Gustavo presses the button on the Carlos doll.

Carlos doll: (Gustavo's voice) SHUT IT! SHUT IT FOREVER!!

Kelly pushes the dolls off the table.

Kelly: And now, here is James and Logan to show you the next product you are sure to love.

Logan: We would like you to be the first to experience BTR's new fragrance.

James lifts the cover up. It revealed a fragrance bottle.

James: A spicy contemporary scent that says you want to live it big time.

James takes the cap off the bottle.

James: Smellevate.

James spritzes the fragrance on Sam's face.

Sam feels a burning sensation in his eyes. He covers them and screams in pain.

Sam: Ow! Oh, my seein' eyes! Oh, I'm temporary blind!!! Ow, it burns!

Kendall and Carlos: What did you put in there?!

James: Logan said to make it spicy!

Logan: I said to add spice, like cinnamon or nutmeg!

Sam: Oh, it burns!

James shows Logan a bottle of habanero sauce.

James: So, no to the habanero hot sauce?

Sam: OH, IT BURNS!!!

A blinded Sam runs into a hanging Selmart sign.

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan: Sorry! Just blink. Walk it off.

Sam falls to the ground.

TV news report.

Francesca Kim: And in our big story today, mega retailer Sam Selmart was injured in a merchandise meeting gone horribly awry. While being airlifted to the hospital, Selmart said, "A blind salesman is like a donkey with a hangnail. You can lead him to the barn, but he'll still call you Susan.". And--


Rocque Records office.

Griffin switches off the TV.

Kendall: Griffin, before you say anything... we can fix this.

Griffin: Let me guess, it involves a crank phone call, breaking and entering, and tree hats.

The boys are wearing tree hats and holding crowbars.

James: We weren't actually gonna break anything.

Logan: Nope.

The boys take off their tree hats and throw them and the crowbars off to the side.

Griffin: Tree hats don't work in the high-stakes business world. What might work is the personal apology you're going to give to Sam Selmart today.

Pause.

Carlos holds the dolls and shakes them.

Carlos: (high-pitched voice) Yeah, guys. Let's go apologize. We should go say sorry to Sam! Okay, maybe we should just stop talking, because--

Carlos puts the dolls down.

Griffin: And after you apologize, I'll be there. To personally pitch the products Sam was supposed to see yesterday at 5. The toilet brushes, the horse shampoo, and the dolls, that do not tell Selmart to "shut it, shut it forever".

James: Griffin, if people see these products, they'll laugh at us.

Logan: I hate when people laugh at me. Like that one time at summer camp when those guys put a sign on my back that said "fart on me".

James, Carlos, Kendall: We said we were sorry.

Griffin: And now you're going to say sorry to Sam Selmart, and pitch these products. What do your dolls have to say now?

The boys hold the dolls and shake them.

Logan: (high-pitched voice) Let's go tell Sam we're sorry!

James: (high-pitched voice) Whatever Griffin says.

Carlos: (high-pitched voice) Yeah, great plan, boss!

Kendall: (high-pitched voice) Away we go!

The boys pretend the dolls are walking.

***

Palm Woods hotel, lobby.

One of the karate students is anticipating to chop a table in half.

Karate students: (chanting) Break it, break it....

Mr. Bitters closes a door and notices the karate students.

The karate students look in shock.

Mr. Bitters: I said no karate in the lobby!

Mr. Bitters walks to his desk.

Mr. Bitters: How can I--

Katie: I want my belt. I bought a robe, robes come with belts. I want my belt. So just reach down there, open up another robe, and give me the belt.

Mr. Bitters: If I did that, then I'd have a robe with no belt, which I can't sell, and I'd be out $45. And personally, I'd prefer if you were out $45.

Katie: Haven't you ever heard the expression, "the customer's always right"?

Mr. Bitters: I don't listen to hip-hop. If you got a problem, call Customer Service.

Mr. Bitters tries to leave, but Katie stops him.

Katie: Don't...move.

Katie dials a number on her phone. She answers it.

The front desk phone rings.

Mr. Bitters stands there. The phone continues to ring.

Katie: Pick up the phone.

Mr. Bitters stands there.

Katie: Pick up the phone.

Mr. Bitters continues to stand there, and the phone stops ringing.

A beep is heard.

Mr. Bitters: (on phone) You've reached the Palm Woods store Customer Service line. We're experiencing high call volume. Your current wait time is, loooooooonng.

Mr. Bitters: (humming hold music) Ba, ba-da, ba, ba, ba-da-da-da. Ba, ba-da, ba, ba...

Katie hangs up the phone and leaves.

Selmart West Coast Headquarters.

Gustavo, Kelly, Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan arrive while carrying a table with three items under a cover.

An injured Sam Selmart is seen on a hospital bed. He and his assistant, dressed as a nurse, look at the items.

Sam: (tips his hat) Howdy, Arthur.

Griffin: Sam.

Sam: Hey, boys. Blind anyone lately?

Kendall: We are so sorry.

James: We apologize. We didn't mean to blind you.

Carlos: We're sorry.

Logan: Sorry.

Sam: "Sorry" doesn't trim the whiskers on the Admiral's beard, does it? But I will forgive you IF you pitch me some merchandise I can sell in my stores and make money with.

Griffin: Sam, my research and development team at RCM CBT GlobalNet Sanyoid has some exciting big time merchandise that's gonna fly off your shelves.

Sam: Well, I sure hope they're better products than what that last jackalope done tried to pitch me. Katy Perry horse shampoo and toilet scrubbers with One Direction's face on them. Why in the world would I wanna scrub my john with Liam?

The boys, Griffin, Gustavo, and Kelly give disgusted looks.

Carlos and Logan push the two other covers with the toilet scrubbers and the horse shampoo off of the table.

Griffin: Which is why you're going to love the all-new and improved Big Time Rush Action Set.

Griffin lifts the cover up. It revealed the dolls from before.

Sam: Ooh.

Griffin presses the button on the Kendall doll.

Kendall doll: (raspy, cartoonish voice) I made boom-boom. Better change me!

The boys, Griffin, Gustavo, and Kelly laugh sarcastically.

Sam: Boom-boom? That ain't the kind of action I want. I want kung-fu grip and superpower.

Griffin: Uh...

The boys, Griffin, Gustavo, and Kelly are thinking of what to say.

Carlos: Ooh! These dolls, they fight zombie robots.

Kendall: Yeah, and they go "pew, pew".

Sam: Pew-pew? I like me some "pew-pew". What else they do?

James: They fly, they fly!

The boys pretend the dolls are flying.

Sam: I love me some flying. How do they fly?!

Griffin: Uh, like this!

Griffin throws the James doll and it hits the eject button on Sam's hospital bed.

Sam is ejected from the bed. He screams and is sent flying through the stack of Selmart boxes.

Carlos holds up his doll and shakes it.

Carlos: (high-pitched voice) Well, he said he loved flying.

***

Palm Woods lobby.

Katie is wearing an all-black outfit as she is getting ready to do some undercover work.

Katie: No refunds and no returns? No way.

Katie tumbles to spy on Mr. Bitters.

Mr. Bitters is ratting the karate students out of the lobby. The kids are screaming.

Mr. Bitters: I SAID NO KARATE IN THE LOBBY!

Katie: If he doesn't wanna give me the belt, I'll just take it myself.

Katie goes behind Mr. Bitters' desk and looks down to find a cabinet labeled "The Palm Woods Store". She opens the cabinet and finds a bag with a karate robe and a belt.

Katie: Bingo.

Katie gets up and holds the bag.

Mr. Bitters is by the desk pushing a button on his cash register.

Mr. Bitters: Welcome to the Palm Woods store. One robe would be... $45.

Katie puts down the bag with the robe.

Katie: I don't have $45.

Mr. Bitters takes the robe away.

Mr. Bitters: Well then, you don't have a robe.

Katie: I will haunt you until I get my belt. From the moment you open this stupid Palm Woods store until the minute you close, I will be there. I gave you $45, and I will get my money's worth.

Mr. Bitters: (sarcastically) I'm so scared. (laughs)

Mr. Bitters walks away and turns, only to notice Katie staring at him.

***

Recording studio.

The boys, Kelly, and Gustavo all watch Griffin go crazy in the sound booth.

Carlos: How long has he been in there?

Kelly: About an hour and 23 minutes. 

Griffin continues to flip out.

Kelly: I think he's almost finished though.

James: And, we're finished, because Selmart stopped selling Big Time Rush's music in his stores.

Gustavo: (sobbing) Which accounts for 50% of our album sales!

Logan: Actually, 72%.

Gustavo yelps.

Griffin walks out of the sound booth.

Griffin: It's over. I pitched horrible product ideas, launched the world's richest CEO over our heads, and killed your music career in less than three minutes.

Kendall: Griffin, we can fix this.

Griffin: How? We're banned from Selmart's West Coast Headquarters and blocked from all his phone lines!

The boys hatch a plan.


Selmart West Coast Headquarters.

The gang is hiding beneath a bush wearing tree hats.

Griffin: You sure this is going to work?

The boys, Gustavo and Kelly all emerge out. They are also wearing tree hats.

Boys, Gustavo, Kelly: Definitely, probably not.

The gang sneaks away.

Mr. Bitters is taking towels out to a cabana. He opens the curtain to find Katie hauntingly staring at him while she holds up the robe.

Mr. Bitters drops the towels.

Mr. Bitters runs to his desk and sees Katie on his computer desktop.

He turns and sees Katie again.

Mr. Bitters: Fine! You want a belt? I'll get you a belt.

Mr. Bitters takes out a box labeled "Lost & Found". He takes out a black tie.

Mr. Bitters: Here! Here's your belt.

Katie: That's a tie from the lost-and-found.

Mr. Bitters: No! It's a belt! 

Mr. Bitters puts on the robe and ties the tie around it.

Mr. Bitters: And it's not only stylish, it's fashionable!

Mr. Bitters walks out.

Mr. Bitters: And it's sturdy, and it can be used to hold the robe together!

The karate kids and the sensei walk to look at Mr. Bitters.

Mr. Bitters: You think you could beat me in a fight? Well, bring it on!

Katie: (to the kids) You heard him, guys. Karate in the lobby!

Mr. Bitters: No! No, no, no!

The karate kids run and hit and beat up Mr. Bitters.

Sensei: They all did great today. They all got promoted from the white belts.

Katie: (looks at the belts) Can I have one of those?

Sensei: You can have them all. 

The sensei hands the belts to Katie.

Sensei: No, Billy. The solar plexus. A little higher.

The kids continue to beat up Mr. Bitters.

Selmart West Coast Headquarters.

The boys, Griffin, Gustavo, and Kelly emerge from the bushes wearing tree hats.

Griffin: Okay. So, say we get into the building. Then what?

The gang crouches down.

Kendall: We do what we do best. Sing.

Carlos: We show off our voices.

James: And not toilet scrubbers.

Logan: He sees we're a great band, and put our music back on the shelves.

Gustavo: And we go back to the way it was.

Kelly: Forget about this whole merchandise thing.

Griffin: I see two flaws with your plan.

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan: What?

Griffin: (points) Them.

Two police officers walk by.

Police officer: Don't any of you guys move.

James and Logan turn to each other.

James and Logan: We got this.

James and Logan jump out, spraying the Smellevate perfume in the police officers' faces.

James and Logan: SMELLEVATE!!!

The officers fall down.

The gang runs away.


The gang runs inside the headquarters.

Alarms go off.

Griffin: Is this going well?

Boys, Gustavo, Kelly: It's about average.


The gang runs into Sam Selmart's office.

Sam is seen sitting on a chair, with a brace on his body and two broken arms. On the ends of his desk are pineapples and two cannons.

Sam: Well, glad you're back, boys. Gives me a chance to test the best product I've seen so far. The XR4-17 pineapple cannon. These bad boys can knock a billy goat off a farm roof and make fruit salad at the same time.

Sam laughs maniacally as he gets ready to press the launch button.

Griffin: Looks like your tree hats couldn't save us after all.

Sam: Yeah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Rope it in there, junior. What in the name of all things moist and meaty is on your head?

Boys, Gustavo, Kelly: Tree hats?

Sam: Tree hats? What are they?

Carlos: Uh, uh, uh... They help you. With things.

Sam: Stylish, biodegradable, keeps you cool in the summer, warm in the winter? I love 'em! I'm gonna call 'em... tree hats! (opens his eyes wide, squints in pain) Ah!

Logan: Okay, wait, let me get this straight, you wanna buy these?

Sam: I want 200,000 of them, son. I'm gonna put them in my boxes and sell 'em all over the world. (opens eyes wide) Moonnney-- (squints in pain) Ow.

James: But we thought you hated us.

Sam: Pretty Clem, lemme tell you a story. A feller once stabbed me in the foot with a pen knife, darn her took off my whole big toe. You wanna know what I done? I bought every knife that fella had and made me rich as Midas. Whaddaya say, son? We got a deal?

Kendall: And you'll keep selling Big Time Rush's music?

Sam: Does an aardvark fart in a park on Tuesday?

Boys, Griffin, Gustavo, Kelly: Uh.... sure.

Gustavo: Don't know what that means.

Sam: Yes, I'll keep sellin' your "music".

The gang cheers.

The gang throws their tree hats on Sam's desk.

***

Rocque Records office.

Female marketer: Boys, we have to say we completely underestimated your merchandising and marketing genius.

Male marketer: The tree hats are making Sam Selmart very happy.

iCarly - iSell Penny Tees Transcript

Bushwell Plaza, iCarly set.

The gang is in the middle of a show.

Sam is blowing her nose on a pile of wet noodles. Her friend Carly glances at Sam.

Carly: Well?

Sam: Works just fine.

Carly: Okay, JilliePillie14, you can blow your nose with a handful of wet noodles.

Sam: And afterwards, they make a tasty snack for Junior.

Sam throws the noodles on the bowl belonging to Gibby's younger brother Guppy.

Sam: Bon appe-snot.

Sam pinches and then pats Guppy's cheeks.

Guppy: Ahhhh.

Carly: Okay, now a lot of you guys out there...

Sam: You fans of we...

Carly: Have been posting comments on iCarly.com asking if you can buy some of the stuff you've seen us use here on the show.

Sam: We're not sure why you'd wanna buy our own junk.

Carly: But if you want it...

Sam: We're gonna auction it off.

Carly: And donate all the money we made to a very worthy cause.

On-screen visual graphic: The words "The Sam Puckett Legal Defense Fund" fly on the screen.

Sam: "The Sam Puckett Legal Defense Fund".

Sam presses a button on her remote. A jingle plays and Carly and Sam wave their arms rhythmically.

Jingle: ♪ The Sam Puckett Legal Defense Fund... ♪

Freddie, the cameraman, turns the camera to himself.

Freddie: Together, we can keep Sam out of juvie.

Freddie pans the camera to Carly and Sam.

Carly: Okay, get ready to bid!

Sam: 'Cause now the time has come to...

On-screen visual graphic: The words "Show You Our Junk!" appear on the screen, word by word.

Carly and Sam: Show you our junk!

Gibby, a sweet but naive boy, raises a curtain. The curtain opens to reveal items used on the iCarly show. Carly and Sam dance as music plays. Freddie joins in on the dancing as the girls all laugh.

Sam: That's some good lookin' junk.

Carly: And it's all available for sale.

Gibby jumps into the shot.

Gibby: (pirate voice) Yarrr!!!

Sam: I told you not to do the pirate voice.

Gibby: (no excitement) Yar.

Gibby exits the shot.

Carly: So, what iCarly items are for sale here, Sam?

Sam: Well, Carls, right there I see Spencer's fan of hammers.

Carly: Aww. Who could forget the time Spencer almost impaled my head with a flying hammer?

Sam: Dangerous times.

Carly: Mmm-hmm.

Sam: And check out what this curvaceous mannequin's been modeling.

Sam points to a mannequin wearing a shirt reading "Uncle Female".

Carly: It's one of the super cool t-shirts you often see us wear.

Sam: They're called "penny-tees".

Gibby: That's my personal mannequin. (caresses the mannequin's chin)

Sam gives Gibby a weird glance.

Sam: Continuing on...

Sam picks up a pair of shoes with technical cords for laces.

Sam: Y'all remember these TechFoots.

Carly: Who wouldn't be proud to wear this pair of defective sneakers to school, the zoo?

Sam: Or the funeral of a loved one?

Freddie turns the camera to himself.

On-screen visual graphic: A scroll reads a disclaimer.

Freddie: (faux serious voice) iCarly is not responsible for damage caused to your feet, toes, or central nervous system. (nods)

Freddie pans the camera back to Carly and Sam, then over to Gibby sitting at the table where Guppy was eating.

Gibby: Whoa!

Gibby eats Guppy's snot-filled noodles.

Gibby: Mmm, I'm in love with this sauce. What is it?

Pan camera back to Carly and Sam. They give Gibby and Guppy weird looks.

Sam: Uh, it could be a lovely cheese sauce.

Carly: But it's snot.

Spencer, Carly's older brother, jumps into the shot. He plays a few notes from a banjo. Carly and Sam dance along.

Opening Credits




***


Bushwell Plaza, Shays' apartment.

Carly and Sam are packing items in boxes while Freddie is on the computer.

Carly: Okay. Who gets the three-legged wiener dog?

Freddie: Andrea Swain from Winfield, Kansas, 67156. (scoff-laughs) Swain. (eats a piece of pineapple from a toothpick)

Sam: I can't believe some chick paid 100 bucks for a stained wiener dog. (throws wiener dog in box)

Carly: I told you some fans would really wanna buy stuff that's been on iCarly. (gets distracted at Sam poking Carly's arm) What are you doing?

Sam: You got a baby scab on your arm.

Carly: Leave it! (slaps Sam's hand)

Freddie: Wow. This is amazing.

Sam taps on the countertop where Freddie is sitting by.

Sam: Someone finally friended you?

Sam walks away.

Freddie takes a knife and holds it and points it to his chin.

Freddie: Control, Freddie. Bad thoughts lead to bad actions.

Freddie drops the knife.

Carly walks to Freddie.

Carly: What's amazing?

Freddie: Guess what iCarly item sold for the most money by far?

Carly: Fan of hammers?

Freddie: Nope, the penny-tee.

Carly: How much?

Freddie: Almost 300 bucks.

Carly: Seriously?

Sam: I knew it. I told ya people. Did I tell ya people? (points to Carly and Freddie)

Carly: You told us people.

Sam: Our fans are dying for these penny-tees. We should make 'em, sell 'em, bank a few hundred thousand, quit school and open that restaurant I've been talking about.

Carly: No one wants to kill a live chicken, then barbecue it. 

Sam: You don't know everything.

Sam walks away.

Sam: Whatever. Are we gonna do the penny-tee thing or not?

Freddie: I think we should. Our fans want 'em and we could make 'em a lot of cash.

Carly: Sure, why not?

Sam: Yes! (swings arms while holding shirt) iCarly's in the penny-tee business! Woo-hoo!

Carly, Sam, and Freddie dance excitedly.

Freddie: All right. Now we just gotta figure out how we're gonna make enough of 'em to--

(SFX: Knock on the door.)

Carly: Oh, hang on.

Carly leaves.

Sam whacks the penny-tee on Freddie's arm.

Freddie: Ow!


Carly: Comin'.

Spencer tries to beat Carly to the door.

Spencer: Got it.

As Spencer runs to the door, Carly gets knocked down on the floor.

Spencer opens the door to be greeted by a "SendEx" delivery man.

Spencer: Do you have my package?

Delivery man: Uh, yeah.

Spencer notices Carly whimpering as she is still on the floor.

Spencer: One second.

Spencer walks to Carly.

Spencer: Kid, what are you doing? The floor is dirty.

Spencer helps Carly get up off the floor.

Carly: A truck hit me.

Spencer: You're fine. (fixes Carly's hair) There you are. You look so good.

Spencer runs to the door.

Spencer: Give me my package!

The delivery man hands Spencer a packing envelope.

Delivery man: Sign right here.

Spencer: Oh, yeah. I'll sign right there.

Spencer puts his signature on a tablet.


Freddie tries to eat a piece of pineapple from a fork, but Sam steals it from him and eats it..


Spencer is then handed the package and cheers.

Delivery man: Thanks. Hey, do you know where there's a soda machine around here--

Spencer: No. (slams door)

Spencer does a dance.

Sam: What'd you get?

Spencer: A crazy foreign movie for a crazy hot foreign girl.

Carly: That's why you gave me a crazy hot concussion?

Spencer: Shhh!

Spencer opens the package.

Spencer: She's from Uzbekistan. And she's blonde and tall and pretty and fun and smells like a fancy hotel bathroom!

Spencer takes out a DVD from the package.

Sam: My cousin Tanya smells like a gas station bathroom.

Spencer: That's not the same thing.

Sam gives Spencer a disapproving glance.

Spencer: Her name is Krustacia. And she doesn't speak any English.

Freddie: So how do you talk to her?

Spencer: Oh, by doing this... (makes eating motion) Eeeating.... (does walking motion) waaalking.... (does canoeing motion) canoooeing....

Sam and Freddie give Spencer weird looks.

Sam: Yep.

Freddie: Thank you for answering.

Sam: Yeah, we got it.

Spencer: We're having our third date on Saturday night, so I ordered this foreign film in her language.

Freddie: But you won't understand it.

Spencer: Who cares?

Sam: Well, guess what we're doing?

Carly: We're gonna start making penny-tees just like this one and sell 'em to iCarly fans.

Spencer: (runs out) I gotta go think about Krustacia.

Carly puts the penny-tee down.

Carly: Okay, we're going shoplifting.

Spencer: (offscreen) Wear a jacket!

(SFX: Door closing.)

Sam tries to touch Carly's arm.

Sam: Are we really gonna go shoplifting?

Carly: No!

Bushwell Plaza, Shays' living room.

Spencer is pouring Krustacia's drink.

Spencer: May I freshen your soda?

Krustacia: (speaking Uzbek)

Spencer: Well, sure you can.

Spencer pours Krustacia's drink again.

Krustacia: (speaking Uzbek)

Spencer: Hmm. I don't understand anything you're saying.

Krustacia: (points to TV) (speaking Uzbek)

Spencer: The movie?

Krustacia: (speaking Uzbek)

Spencer: Yes! The movie is terrific, even though I understand none of it. I mean, what's with the goat and the balloon? Let's watch together.

(SFX: People speaking in foreign language, goat bleating.)

Krustacia laughs.

Spencer: (exclaims)

(SFX: Donkey brays, loud boom.)

Spencer and Krustacia get scared.

Krustacia leans on Spencer.

Spencer kisses her.

Krustacia: (speaking Uzbek)

Spencer: Yes. We can kiss again.

Spencer and Krustacia kiss again.

Bushwell Plaza, Carly's room.

Carly and Freddie dance while holding penny-tees.

Carly: Ah! And that makes two dozen Fried Clowns. Done.

Freddie presses a button on his Pear Book laptop.

Freddie: Which makes a total of 74 penny-tees completed, and ready for shipping.

Carly: Oh, and don't forget Sam's contribution. You know, nothing.

Freddie: Hey, where is that lazy blonde? She has flaked on us every night this week s--

Sam enters carrying a cart of boxes.

Sam: Knock-a-doodle-doo.

Carly: Where have you been?

Sam: A place.

Carly: And what's in those boxes?

Sam: (rests head on box) Items.

Sam walks to Freddie.

Freddie: You knock off a Fat Cake truck?

Pause.

Sam turns to Freddie. She grabs Freddie's arm and pushes him on the couch.

Freddie: Oh, it's happening. Sam, come on! Don't you--

Sam spanks Freddie.

Freddie: Aah! Ow! Sam, stop it! Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it! Get off of me!

Sam walks up to Carly.

Sam: So, you really wanna know what's in those boxes?

Carly: Please don't be Chinese fireworks. Please don't be Chinese fireworks.

Sam brings out a dozen penny-tees and lays them on a table.

Sam: 30 finished penny-tees.

Carly: What?

Freddie: No way.

Sam: (points) And 30 more in that box, and 30 more in that box.

Carly: Seriously?

Sam: (hunches down) Seriously.

Carly: How'd you make so many?

Freddie: And why did you spank me?

Sam: Because you irritate me. And I'll show you.

Sam walks back, turns to Carly and Freddie and does a "come over here" motion with her hand.

Freddie: She's motioning us in her direction.

Sam: I see it.

Carly and Freddie follow Sam.

***

Basement.

Sam take Carly and Freddie down to the basement.

Freddie: You really slapped it hard.

Carly: Why are you taking us to the basement?

Sam: You wanna know how I made so many penny-tees? Check it out.

Sam takes Carly and Freddie downstairs to find a bunch of fourth-grade kids making the penny-tees.

Carly: Who are they?

Sam: Momma's little helpers. They're fourth-graders from St. Mary's, right down the street.

Freddie: You've got a bunch of fourth-graders to make penny-tees?

Sam: (nods) Yep. And I've only paid them five bucks a day.

A girl wearing a purple jacket walks up to Sam. She rolls up her sleeve and shows Sam her arm.

Girl with purple jacket: Miss Puckett? I got a cut on my arm.

Sam: Oh, let me take care of that.

Sam grabs a roll of duct tape. She takes a chunk of it and wraps it around the girl's arm.

Sam: (pats girl's head) Back to work now.

Girl with purple jacket: But, I--

Sam blows an air horn. The girl screams and runs away.

The kids wipe sweat off their faces.

Carly: This is worse than Chinese fireworks.


***

Basement.

Sam walks to check up on the kids when she notices a girl with a turquoise shirt drinking water.

Sam: Drink later.

The girl stops and gets back to work.

Sam: They make 19 penny-tees every hour.

Carly: Yeah, but, this feels wrong.

Freddie: I don't like this.

Sam: Why? These kids are earning money they could use to buy, you know... treats and such.

Carly: Working in a gross, humid, depressing basement for $5 a day isn't worth treats. Or such.

A boy with glasses walks by Sam showing her a sandwich with a toothbrush stuck inside.

Boy with glasses: (in British accent) Miss Puckett? I mean no trouble but there's a filthy toothbrush in me chicken salad.

Sam: Surprise.

The boy runs away in horror.

Carly shows Sam a box with sandwiches.

Carly: Where'd you get this box of sandwiches?

Sam: I don't know.

Carly: Dumpster.

Sam: All right, who talked?

The kids gasp in horror and turn to Sam.

Sam: (points to Carly) Who told the prissy brunette about the dumpster?

Carly: (puts down box of sandwiches) No one talked.

Freddie: You can't work little kids like this.

Sam: Dude! I checked the iCarly inbox and we have over 600 orders for penny-tees to make and deliver. We're gonna need help from somebody.

Carly: Well, okay. But if these kids are gonna work for us we're gonna treat them nicely and with respect.

Sam: Aw. If you do that they won't work as hard.

Carly: What are you talking about?

Sam: I'm talking about the truth. They're already slowing down 'cause I'm not (gets close to kid) yelling at them...

Sam and Carly argue.

Freddie tries to calm them down.

Freddie: Okay, okay. Okay. LISTEN!

Sam and Carly stop arguing.

Freddie: You keep half these kids down--

Sam slaps Freddie in the face.

Freddie: You keep half these kids down here and work 'em your way. Carly and I will take the other half up to the studio and we'll have 'em work for us, our way.

Carly: Which won't include dumpster tuna fish.

A girl wearing two braids puts her tuna salad down to the side.

Sam: Sure thing.

Sam walks to the staircase. She blows an air horn.

The kids gasp.

Sam: Okay! All kids with last names starting with A through M, you guys go with Carly and Freddie.

A group of kids cheer.

Sam: Oh, so you're happy about that? Okay. N through Z kids, you go. A through M, you stay.

The group of kids groan.

Another group of kids follow Carly and Freddie out to the hall.

The Groovy Smoothie smoothie bar.

Spencer and Krustacia drink smoothies together.

Spencer: How's your smoothie?

Krustacia smiles at Spencer.

Spencer: (points at Krustacia's smoothie) Your smoothie. Do you like drinking it?

Krustacia stares at Spencer.

Spencer: Is drinking your smoothie a good time?

Krustacia: (speaking Uzbek)

Spencer: Ah. I've never been so happy to be so confused.

Krustacia laughs.

Gibby walks in holding a plunger. He puts down the plunger.

A man walks in. He runs away in fear.

Gibby walks up to Spencer.

Gibby: Hey, Spencer.

Spencer: Oh, hey, kid.

Gibby: Hi, ma'am. I'm Gibby.

Spencer: She doesn't speak English.

Gibby: I'm still Gibby.

Spencer: She's from Uzbekistan.

Gibby: No way! My bus driver's from Uzbekistan.

Spencer: No way! 'Cause Krustacia and I, we can't really communicate, I mean. Not like, verbally.

Gibby: Well, Foogtor speaks perfect Uzbek.

Spencer: You'd hook me up?

Gibby: You're hooked, man.

Spencer: Who's the best weirdo in Seattle?!

Gibby: Gib-behh!

Spencer: Gib-behh!

Krustacia: Gib-beh?

Spencer: Yes.

The man from before walks back inside the Groovy Smoothie with a police officer.

Man: There he is! (points to Gibby)

Gibby turns to the man.

Man: That's him!

Bushwell Plaza, iCarly set.

The kids all peacefully work on the penny-tees.

Carly walks in.

Carly: Hey now. I'm extremely disappointed in you guys.

Kids: What?

Carly: 'Cause you're all working when you should be snacking on...

Freddie walks in with a platter of mochi ice cream.

Freddie: Mochi ice cream!

The kids run to take a mochi ice cream from the platter.

Freddie: All right, everybody grab one. Yeah, they're Japanese finger treats.

Carly: There you go.

Freddie: Here you go. Everybody get one?

Boy in plaid shirt: You guys are so great.

Bree: Like the nicest bosses ever.

Carly: Aw, come on.

Boy in plaid shirt: It's true.

Bree: And you're paying us more than double what Sam was.

Freddie: Aw, Sam's horrible.

Boy: Yup.

Girl: She is.

Boy in red shirt: She broke my phone.

Carly: Okay, let's talk about the schedule for the rest of the day.

Girl: Okay.

Carly shows the schedule on a Pear Pad.

Carly: You guys take about fifteen minutes to relax and enjoy the mochi.

Boy in plaid shirt: I like the mango.

Freddie: Oh, yeah, mango bump!

Freddie fist bumps the boy.

Freddie: And then, you guys work on the penny-tees for about two hours.

Carly: Or until you feel you need a break.

Freddie: And then at 5:30, we'll all meet to discuss the penny-tee total for the day.

Carly: And then we'll take a few minutes to sit around, to have some blue tea, and just get to know each other a little better.

Kids: Terrific.

Boy: Mochi.

Basement.

The kids are working on the penny-tees, while some are slacking and sleeping on the job.

Sam walks in to check up on the kids.

Boy with glasses: Here she comes.

Sam: What's up, t-shirt monkeys?

Kids: Uhhhh.

Sam: Ah, the sound of progress.

Boy with glasses: Uh, excuse me, but when might we lunch?  

Sam: How many penny-tees have you made so far today?

Girl with braids: 46.

Sam: Wow. Not what momma wanted to hear. You guys should be up to 50 at least.

Girl with braids: Look. You promised us lunch by two o'clock.

Sam: Fine. Lunch is over there.

The kids run to get lunch.

The girl with braids walks up to Sam holding a large can with a label reading "Chunk Meat".  She brings the boy with glasses with her.

The girl with braids puts the can on the table.

Girl with braids: What's "Chunk Meat"?

Sam: "Chunk Meat". Which word don't you understand?

Boy with glasses: But this is for animals.

Sam: No, it's not.

Boy with glasses: See here. It says, "Strengthens hooves".

The kids turn to Sam.

Girl with braids: Okay, that's it. We want more money and better working conditions.

Kids: Yeah.

Sam: And I wanted a mom who doesn't wear bikinis three sizes too small. Did I get that? No. Life's a big boo-hoo. Now eat your meat.

Boy with glasses: No, I won't.

Girl with braids: We don't want this job anymore.

Kids: (overlapping talking)

Sam: Oh, yeah? You wanna say goodbye to your five bucks a day and your free cans of meat?

Kids: Yeah! (overlapping talking)

Girl with braids: Come on, guys. Let's go.

The kids leave.

Sam: Good. Leave. I don't care. I'll make the penny-tees myself. (points to boy) You are especially slow.

A boy leaves slowly.

Sam takes the can of meat. She throws away the meat on a stick that she was eating and examines the can.

Sam: "May contain meat". Well, if it may...

Sam takes out a can opener and opens the can.

Carly and Freddie walk in, each holding pitchers of a blue-colored tea beverage.

Carly: Hello.

The kids sit and quiet down, while trying to look casual.

Freddie: W-What's going on here, guys?

Bree: Just taking a little break.

Carly: Oh. Okay, well, how many penny-tees have you guys made today?

Boy with plaid shirt: I don't know. Maybe like, six?

Carly: Six?!

Freddie: For the whole day?

Boy with plaid shirt: Hey, man. Get off our chiz.

Freddie: Uh, maybe you should all get off your chizzes (takes the boy's foot off the table) and do some work.

Carly: Or you're not getting paid. (takes the boy's other foot off the table)

Bree: You already pre-paid us.

Boy with plaid shirt: For the whole month.

The kids hold up stacks of dollar bills.

Kids: (cheering) Woo, yeah!

Carly: (glances at Freddie) It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Freddie: Okay, you guys. Carly and I are gonna have to lay down the law here.

Boy with plaid shirt: Let's do that tomorrow, okay?

Bree: We're gonna go.

The kids leave.

Carly: But, you guys are supposed to stay 'til 5:30.

The kids leave while a boy in a blue shirt lays on a table.

Carly: Get back here! I'm not playin' around. Bree? Bree, Bree!

Bree didn't listen. She left.

Spencer: Oh, will you please tell her that I really like her a lot and I was wondering, if she might wanna go to Las Vegas with me and pay for the trip.

Foogtor and Gibby give Spencer a weird look.

Spencer: What? Too pushy? Too pushy?

Foogtor looks at Spencer.

Spencer: Why aren't you responding?

Gibby: Dude.

Spencer: Yeah?

Gibby: Foogtor doesn't speak English.

Spencer: Wait. He doesn't... (looks at Foogtor and Krustacia) you don't speak... (turns to Gibby) You said he could translate for me.

Gibby: No, I said he speaks Uzbek, which he does. So, cool the attitude, all right?

Spencer: Wait, I don't under-- wait, if he can't speak English, then how did you even invite him here?

Gibby: His brother speaks Uzbek and English.

The Groovy Smoothie smoothie bar.

Carly, Sam, Freddie sit with the boy and the girl in braids.

Freddie: Say it.

Sam: I'm sorry I worked you guys so hard. I didn't give you enough breaks, and, fed you, you know, animal food.

Girl with braids: Okay.

Carly: And Freddie and I apologize for what happened with you guys.

Freddie: It's our fault for letting you think that work was just about taking breaks and having fun all day.

Carly: Animal food?

Sam: It strengthens hooves.

Freddie: The point is, we've got a lot of penny-tees to make, so we'd like to start fresh and work with all of you guys again.

Girl with braids: Well, thanks.

Boy: But, sorry. 

Girl with braids: We started our own penny-tee business.

Sam: Your own what?! 

Freddie: Queso?

Boy: Yeah. Look around. 

Carly, Sam, and Freddie turn to notice a lot of people wearing penny-tees.

Sam: You little punks! 

Carly: You can't take our penny-tee idea.

Boy: What are you gonna do, sue us? 

Girl with braids: We're ten.

Boy: Good luck. 

Carly: No. Good luck to you, sir. The only reason our penny-tees are so popular is 'cause they say really funny, creative things on them.

Freddie: That Carly and Sam think of. 

Sam: You can't steal our comedic brains. 

Carly: So, ha. And, once again, ha!

Girl with braids: Doesn't matter if we can't think of funny things to put on penny-tees.

Boy: 'Cause we can hire writers who can. Arthur, Jake, whatcha got?

Arthur, a boy with a blue plaid jacket and Jake, a boy with a striped shirt, turn to the boy who's sitting with Carly, Sam, and Freddie. The boys are both holding notepads and pencils.

Carly, Sam, and Freddie, turn to Arthur and Jake.

Arthur: Finger Face.

Jake: Tasty Clown.

Sam and Freddie get up from their chairs after Carly.

Arthur: Purple Chester.

Carly, Sam, and Freddie walk to the door.

T-Bo, a man with dreads and a cap walks to the three while holding chicken pot pies on a stick.

T-Bo: Who wants a chicken pot pie?

Big Time Rush - Big Time Live Transcript

A.M. L.A. set.

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan, Kendall's little sister Katie, and Kendall's mom Jennifer walk on.

James: Can you believe this? We're performing on live TV!

Logan: (yawns) Can you believe it's 5 a.m.?

Jennifer is sleeping on Kendall's shoulder.

Kendall: (yawns) Why do early morning shows have to shoot so early in the morning?

Katie is playing a video game.

Katie: Don't wake her. She hasn't had her eight hours of sleep yet.

Kendall lightly pats Jennifer on the forehead.

A woman who turns out to be the producer of the A.M. L.A. morning show walks up to them.

Jane: Big Time Rush. Huge fan. I'm Jane Kennedy, the producer, and welcome to A.M. L.A., L.A.'s number-one morning show. Come on.

Jane follows the group around.


Jane shows them the news desk.

Jane: That is L.A.'s number-one morning host, Miles Bainbridge, warming up L.A.'s number-one teleprompter.

Miles: No, I'm pretty sure Los Angeles is just one word.

Jane: Come on.

Jane follows the group around.


Jane shows them the green room.

Jane: And this is the green room, where you can relax, eat, and meet our other guests, like actor and environmentalist Ed Begley, Jr.

The boys run to the food table.

Ed shows Jane a saw.

Ed: Hey, guys. I'm here to promote my new line of environmentally friendly--

Jane: Keep it fresh for the show, Ed.

Ed sits back down.

Jane: We are so excited to have BTR at A.M. L.A. And I just know that our three million viewers will be excited, too.

Kendall: Well, we are very excited to be here.

Jane: Yeah, the show is running long. You guys are cut. Wake up mommy and get out.

Jane walks out.

Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan are shocked. 

Ed: Harsh.

Carlos spits out his orange from his mouth.

Opening Credits

Green room.

Kendall: What just happened?

Ed: The official term is, you got bumped.

Katie: Leave me out of this. I'm on level 12 of Castle Bashers and I have to get my four knights to the ring of fire.

Logan: Go get her, go get her!

James: Hey!


The boys run to the corridor to catch up with Jane.

Logan: What do you mean, cut?

Jane: It means I have to cut time from my show, and you were it.

James: But-but, being on live TV is number 7 on my list of things to do before I'm 20.

Logan: You don't have a list.

James takes out a notepad with "James' To Do B-4 20 List" written on the front.

James: Oh, I have a list.

Carlos: Look, you just said that you were excited to have us.

Jane: I'm a producer. I lie. And my show is four minutes too long.

Jane gives the script to Logan.

Jane: And L.A. needs their traffic, weather, stock reports, celebrity interviews and cooking tips. What they don't need to see, is a stupid boy band.

James gasps.

Logan: Um, vocal group, is a term that could also be used.

Jane: So is, you are cut from my show. So get off my set.

Jane walks away.

Kendall: I did not get up at 5 a.m. to be treated like this.

Logan: Absolutely.

James: No, I did not.

Rocque Records office.

(SFX: Rooster crowing.)

Kelly knocks on Gustavo's office door.

Kelly: Hurry up! We have to meet the boys at the studio.

Gustavo opens the door.

Gustavo: Why do they have to shoot early morning shows so early in the morning?

Kelly drags Gustavo to the office, but they were met by RCM CBT GlobalNet Sanyoid CEO Griffin and his two assistants.

Gustavo: (sarcastically) Oh, I'm still dreaming. I'm having another Griffin-mare. (touches Griffin's face) Only this time, there's no leeches.

Griffin: (takes Gustavo's hand away from his face) I'm no dream, Gustavo. And I'm here because it's time for your RCM CBT GlobalNet Sanyoid corporate evaluation.

Kelly: What? Nobody told us about this.

Griffin: I never do. But congratulations, you passed the first test. Employees at work by 5 a.m.

Male assistant shows a tablet with an "A" in the middle.

Griffin: A.

Gustavo: Yeah, Griffin, we're in a little bit of a rush to see the boys on A.M. L.A., so...

Gustavo and Kelly walk away.

They were then met back by Griffin.

Griffin: I'm kind of running a 90 billion dollar company here. Which is why all our divisions are being tested. Our investment firms, our mutant power research labs, even our frozen fish stick division.

Kelly runs out and re-enters with a stack of folders and files.

Kelly: Great. Here's last year's reports, expenses, and profit projections on Big Time Rush. Enjoy.

Kelly hands Griffin the files, who then hands them to the male assistant. He throws the files in the trash.

Griffin: My evaluation is a meticulously crafted, top-to-bottom review that I've personally devised, and make up as I go along.

Gustavo: Kelly, text the dogs, let them know we're gonna be running late.

Kelly: Got it.

Kelly checks her pocket to get her phone out, but her phone was not there.

Griffin: Yeah, no.

Female assistant is seen holding a phone in her hand.

Griffin: Now, test number two. How is Rocque Records at giving haircuts?

Male assistant takes out a pair of shears and a comb.

Gustavo and Kelly turn to each other.


A.M. L.A. set.

Jane: (offscreen) Okay, we're live in 15 minutes.

The boys run to Jane, who is by her producer desk.

Kendall: So, um, we looked at the schedule.

Logan: And, if you change a little time from the weather, the chef dude's weekend recipe, the market update, cut one Hollywood Minute...

Carlos: You'll have time for Big Time Rush.

James: And I can check live TV face time off my list.

Jane: This is good. This works, uh... I think I owe you guys an apology. Follow me.

James gasps.

The boys cheer.

Logan: Sweet!

Jane follows the boys to a door marked "KULA Special Waiting Room".

Jane: I am going to tell the director to make these changes right now. But I need for you guys to wait in our special waiting room.

The boys cheer.

They open the door only for them to be outside in the studio's backlot.

The door slams. A tumbleweed rolls around.

(SFX: Wind whistling.)

Jane: (over loudspeaker) Get out of my face, you stupid singing teens.

Kendall: Of course you've realize...

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan: This means war.

***

Rocque Records office.

Griffin looks at his mirror.

Griffin: Ooh, not bad. How's your hair, Jessica?

Gustavo cuts Jessica's hair. Jessica's hair looked crazy and weird.

After Jessica looked in the mirror, she screams in horror and runs away.

Griffin: Ooh. Rocque Records gets a D for haircutting.

Male assistant shows a tablet with a "D" in the middle.

Kelly: What does haircutting have to do with your corporate strategy?

Griffin rips off his apron.

Griffin: Everything. If you can make hair look good, you can make a budget look good. Nobody likes a frizzy, unkempt budget. So far, Rocque Records is sitting at a B-minus for overall performance.

Gustavo: Oh, B-minus. That's not bad.

Griffin: But you need an A if you want to stay in this building.

Gustavo and Kelly: Come again?

Griffin: If you don't give me a grade-A performance, I'm going to give this centrally-located, expensive office to someone who can.

Six male gamers walk in.

Griffin: Like their lucrative gaming division, who've made millions with their addictive Castle Bashers game.

Gamer #1: This place is sweet!

Gamer #2: Uber sweet!

Gustavo: You can't give away our office! Where will Rocque Records go?

Griffin: To our less luxurious storage warehouse in Rancho Cucamonga.

Male assistant shows a picture on his tablet. The picture showed a dirty-looking, run-down warehouse.

Gustavo gasps.

Kelly: Yeah. Well, Big Time Rush is going to nail their live performance this morning and sell millions of CDs.

Gustavo: In fact, I bet they're warming up on stage right now.

Gustavo and Kelly fist-bump each other.


A.M. L.A. backlot.

(SFX: Wind whistling, hawks cawing)

Katie walks out of the door.

The boys gasp.

Katie: I thought I told you to leave me out of this. I have to defeat the She-Beast before she destroys the Dwarf People.

James: Won't happen again.

The boys walk back inside the studio.

Kendall gives Katie a kiss on the forehead.


A.M. L.A. studio.

The boys tiptoe inside.

Kendall: Okay. Operation Cut Out Time From A.M. L.A. So Big Time Rush Can Perform On Live TV is underway.

Logan: That's a really long operation name.

Carlos: Ooh, how about something cool like Operation Winter Blitz?

James: It's catchier but it's not winter.

Kendall: Just move out.

The boys sneakily run away.

Logan snatches a laptop computer and catches up with the boys.

Miles: (does voice warm-up) Mee-may-mi-mo-moo. (higher) Mee-may... (normal) Kennedy, am I handsome?

Jane: Gorgeous, Miles. And we're cutting Big Time Rush from the show, so change the prompter.

Director: We are live in five, four, three.

James sneakily crawls and fiddles around with the cords.

Miles: Good morning, Los Angeles. I'm Miles Bainbridge and this is A.M. L.A. Featuring Ken Kurasawa with traffic.

James drags the cord.

Miles: The weekend recipe with Chef Hollandaise. The market update with...


Supply closet.

Logan plugs a cord to the laptop. He gets help from Kendall and Carlos.

Logan: We're in. The teleprompter is ours.

Carlos: Give us a good intro.

Logan types something in the laptop.


A.M. L.A. news desk.

Miles: And weather on the 15s. Also, joining us live in the studio, celebrity/environmentalist Ed Begley, Jr.. And a musical performance by the greatest band in the history of the world, Big Time Rush.

Jane spits out her coffee in shock.


Supply closet.

James walks in.

James: (takes out list) Being the greatest band in the history of the world, check.

James sits down with Logan, Kendall, and Carlos.

Kendall: Now to shave some time off the Morning Update.

Logan presses a button.


A.M. L.A. news desk.

Miles: And now, the morning's top stories. The governor issued to voters yesterday, following the recent discovery that he is in fact, a terrible governor.

Jane is shocked.


Supply closet.

James: Faster.

Logan fiddles around with the computer even more.


A.M. L.A. news desk.

Miles: In other news, a (talks faster) curious little kitty got more than he bargained for yesterday after when he got stuck on top of the Hollywood sign.

Jane is shocked.

Miles: (talks even faster) All eyes are on the City of Angels this week when...

Jane: What's going on?

Teleprompter engineer: I don't know. I have no control!

Miles: (talks even faster)


Supply closet.

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan: Faster.

Logan types away on the keyboard.


A.M. L.A. news desk.

Miles: (talks even more faster) ...electric gyro-space. The local 504 lumberjack union have come out against... (talks very fast)

The teleprompter engineer and the director glance at the teleprompter.


Supply closet.

Jane barges in, angrily.

The boys scream in shock.

Kendall: (concerning) Hey there, you.

Jane growls and forcefully rips the cord out of the laptop.


A.M. L.A. news desk.

Miles: (slows down) ...pile of affected (normal) cars' trunks.

Miles' head lands on the desk. He gets up, and smiles.


Supply closet.

The boys get up and gasp.

Kendall: Great news. We shaved a whole minute off your show.

James: Yup.

Carlos: De nada.

Jane gets a hold of the phone.

Jane: (whispers in anger) Security.

Logan: We should run.

Carlos, James, Kendall: Yeah, right.

The boys frantically run out of the closet.


Green room.

Katie is still playing her video game. She notices the boys running away.

Katie looks concerned. 

Jennifer falls asleep on Ed Begley, Jr.'s shoulder.

Then Katie notices that the boys are running from security.

Katie ignores. She gets back to playing her game.

Ed tries to push Jennifer's head off his shoulder.

Katie: Ed, I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Ed takes his hand off.

Rocque Records office.

Griffin walks by.

Griffin: The cleanliness test.

Gustavo and Kelly cross their fingers.

Griffin wears a glove. He smears two fingers on a record plaque. The glove fingers are clean.

Gustavo and Kelly: (whispers) Yes...

Griffin: D.

Male assistant shows a tablet with a "D" in the middle.

Gustavo and Kelly: What?!

Griffin: Rock n' roll is supposed to be gritty, dirty.

The two gamers walk in.

Griffin: Look at these gamers.

Griffin smears his glove on one of the gamers' faces. His glove was dirty.

Griffin: They're filthy, which means they're too busy making me money. To shower.

Kelly: And again, Big Time Rush is going to rock A.M. L.A., and make you more money.

Gustavo: Because, there is no way my dogs are gonna let me down.

Gustavo turns on the TV behind him.

The TV showed the A.M. L.A. traffic report with Ken Kurasawa.


TV traffic report.

Ken: (on TV) And traffic is backed up on the 134 and it continues to bleed into the 101 and congestion...

The boys run in front of the traffic map.

Kendall waves.

The boys scream and run away from the security officers.


Gustavo, Kelly, and Griffin glance at the TV, confused.


A.M. L.A. studio.

Ken: And on the 105 there are reports of a crash.

The boys run in front of the studio.

Kendall: Excuse me, Ken.

Security officers: Stop! Get over here!


Green room.

The boys are still running away from security.

Katie ignores the commotion as she is still playing her game while Jennifer is still sleeping on Ed Begley, Jr.'s shoulder.


The boys run into a room with a door marked "Closed Set".

They slam the door and they let out sighs of relief.

The security officers walk in another door.

The boys scream.

Carlos: Retreat!

The boys try to open the door where they came from, but it is locked.

Logan: It's locked.

Security officer: (to walkie-talkie) We got the perps. Are we authorized to use force?

Jane: (through walkie-talkie) Absolutely.

James checks his list.

James: Get beaten up by security guards... Nope. Not on my list.

The security officers clap the clubs with their hands.

The boys whimper.


***

Closed set.

The security officers clap the clubs with their hands.

Kendall: Logan, options now.

Logan: Well, there's four of us and just three of them, but they're huge, so... scream.

The boys scream.

The security officers get an electric shock.

Logan: It's working.

The security officers fall to the floor.

It is then revealed to be Katie holding two tasers.

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan: Katie?

Katie drops the tasers.

Katie: Thanks. I was just about to beat the castle guard so I can get to the final boss level.

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan: Sorry, baby sister.

Katie walks away. 

Kendall: Ooh, Katie...

Katie stops walking.

Kendall: Could you keep Mom asleep? She doesn't need to see any of this.

Katie gives Kendall a frustrated glance. She walks away.

Logan: But seriously, where'd she get that taser?

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan: I don't know. (overlapping talking)


Rocque Records office, recording studio.

Gustavo: Okay. The dogs are clearly gonna get arrested, and not perform. So, um... (yells) WHAT DO WE DO?!

Kelly: We just have to ace the rest of Griffin's evaluation.

Griffin walks in.

Griffin: D. 

Male assistant shows a tablet with a "D" in the middle.

Griffin: You just failed my secret test.

Gustavo: WHAT IS THE SECRET TEST?!

Griffin: If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret.

The two gamers push a large server.

Gamer #1: We're coming in! And we are online!

Gamers: Yeah!

Gustavo: No! Stop! STOP!!! We are gonna ace the rest of this test, and there is no way that you are moving into my studio! (pushes the gamers and then the server) 

Gamer #1: Yuh-huh.

Gustavo and Kelly: Nuh-uh.

Gamer #2: Yuh-huh.

Gustavo and Kelly: Nuh-uh.

Griffin: Ooh, Rocque Records gets an A for snappy comebacks.

Male assistant shows a tablet with an "A" in the middle.

Gamer #1: All they said was "nuh-uh".

Griffin: Yes, but they did it as a team. Teamwork is very important for the bottom line.

Gustavo and Kelly fist-bump each other.

Griffin: Now. (takes out a spatula) The breakfast test.

Gustavo and Kelly change into aprons reading "Let's Do This!!" in the middle and they take out cooking supplies.

Gustavo and Kelly: Let's do this!

***

A.M. L.A. studio.

Miles is getting ready to interview Ed Begley, Jr.

Ed: I could've sworn I brought my solar-powered tasers.

The boys jump in behind a clothing rack.

They wear costumes as a disguise.

Kendall: Okay. 

Logan: We gotta cut three more minutes from the show to perform.

Kendall: And Operation We Love Ed Begley, Jr. But We Have To Cut His Segment Short To Perform is underway.

Logan: Next time, I'm in charge of operation naming.

Logan, who is wearing a pharaoh costume gets slapped.

Logan: Ow. What was that for?

James: Number 11. (checks off his list) Slap a pharaoh. Check.

Logan: Okay, move out.

The boys run away.

Director: We are live in five, four, three.

Miles: Welcome back, L.A. Chef Hollandaise and the Hollywood Minute are coming up. But first, I'm with actor and green entrepreneur Ed Begley, Jr.. Ed, welcome to the show.

Ed: Miles, thanks for having me. I have some wonderful energy-saving devices to show your viewers.

James walks up a staircase with a fishing rod.

Ed: Like Begley's Own wind-powered spinning tie rack.

Ed spins the propeller on top of the tie rack. James reels in the tie rack.

Jane spits out her coffee in shock.


Miles: (confused) I'll take four.

Miles and Ed laugh sarcastically.


The security officers walk by Jane.

Jane: They're still here, aren't they?

Security officer: Yep. (nods)


Miles: What else you got?

Ed: Begley's Own Soy Mulch Energy Drink.

Ed takes out an empty bottle.

Miles notices the bottle is empty.

Miles: What happened to the drink part?


Logan burps.


Jane gets the security officers to run.


Ed: And if you really wanna save energy, you have to try Begley's Own Pedal-Powered Toaster.

Ed walks Miles up to show a person pedaling a bike while powering up a toaster.

Ed: And as my assistant demonstrates, the faster you pedal, the faster you toast.

The person, who turns out to be Carlos in a wig pedals faster.


Jane's jaw drops.


Miles puts his hand in front of the toaster.

Carlos is pedaling much faster.

Miles: Ooh, it's heating up.


Carlos pedals too fast, causing him to run into the Hollywood Minute set. The set's green screen falls over.


Jane screams.


Green room.

(SFX: Loud growl.)

Jennifer wakes up.

Katie takes out a boombox. She presses a button.

A lullaby plays.

Jennifer falls asleep.

(SFX: Loud growl.)

Katie resumes playing her game.


TV plays.

Carlos runs away from the Hollywood Minute set.

Burnt toast pops out of the toaster.

Miles: Breakfast.

Miles takes the burnt toast from out of the toaster.

Ed: See, it works.


A.M. L.A. set.

Jane takes off her headset in anger.

Kendall: Okay, with the Ed segment shortened and the Hollywood Minute...gone, we only need to cut another two minutes from the show.

Carlos, James, and Logan walk to Jane.

Carlos, James, Logan: We can sing!

Jane: You will never perform on my show!

Jane takes out a walkie-talkie.

Jane: Security! I NEED SECURITY!!!

Logan: We should run again.

Kendall, James, Carlos: Yep.

The boys put Carlos' wig and Kendall's hat on top of Jane, and they run away.

The boys run to the green room.

(SFX: Loud growl.)

Jennifer ignores and falls asleep.

Katie: You know that producer lady's gonna have every security guard on the lot after you?

Kendall: (quietly) Not if my baby sister, whom I love, creates distractions.

The boys quietly beg.

Katie agrees.


Studio backlot.

Katie gets on a golf cart with an Ed Begley, Jr. logo on the front.

Katie: Just when I think I'm out, they pull me right back again.

Katie starts the golf cart. She then drives and bumps into a trash can.

The security officers run and notice Katie driving in the golf cart.

Security officer: (through walkie-talkie) We got a 417 in progress! Tiny suspect in a Begley, Jr. nitrogen scoot-around. We need backup.

The security officers get in the cart and drive away. They catch up to Katie.


Rocque Records office.

A large buffet is put out.

Griffin walks in eating his food.

Griffin: Mmm, delicious. But you get another D.

Male assistant shows a tablet with an "D" in the middle.

Griffin: It's too expensive. I was hoping for bike-powered toast.

Griffin faints.

Griffin: That was a trust fall, Gustavo.

Gustavo gasps.

Griffin: And you failed, again.

The gamers help Griffin back up.

Griffin: So if I can't trust the head of Rocque Records, who can I trust?

Gustavo whimpers.

A.M. L.A. studio.

Security officer: Area's secure. All doors are blocked, and there's no Big Time Rush on this floor.

Jane: And they thought they could beat the number-one producer in L.A. (laughs) Hollandaise, you're up. And take as much time as you need.


Kitchen set.

Chef Hollandaise: Today, L.A., we are making beef bourguignon. Now, this recipe will take a long time to prepare, but it's worth it. So you start by cutting your meat, back and forth, and back and forth...


Secret room.

Kendall is cutting through the ceiling using a saw.

Kendall: Okay, sorry, chef. We have to cut this segment short.


A.M. L.A. studio.

Jane: What's that noise?


Secret room.

Chef Hollandaise falls through the ceiling.

Logan, Carlos, James: He'll be fine.


Kitchen set.

Carlos emerges onto the set, wearing an apron.

Carlos: Chef Carlitos here. This beef blah-blah-blah takes way too long after a busy day. (throws beef away) So instead, go with fish sticks. (takes a box of frozen fish sticks and throws them on the tray) Your kids are gonna love 'em.


A.M. L.A. set.

Jane points, angrily.


Green room.

Carlos: (puts fish sticks in oven) And you'll love being done with dinner, so I don't know, you can read a book or something. Bam!

The security officers run.

Carlos: That's better. 

Carlos screams as he is being chased by the security officers.

Jane moves her desk while the crew pans the camera to the news set.

Jane: Cue card! Cue card!

Kendall comes in holding a cue card.


Miles: And here's the financial report with new correspondent, Logan.


Financial update set.

Logan emerges, while coughing.


Jane: What?!

Kendall runs away.


Logan: Today I recommend buying stock in Begley's Own green products. The tasers are extra. The energy drinks?


Secret room.
 
James throws the energy drink bottle to Logan.


Logan: Really work. And his organic saws can cut through the toughest studio floors.


Jane is hyperventilating through a paper bag.


Logan: Now over to James Diamond with the weather.


Weather report.

James is in front of a weather forecast.

James: Do we really need a weather report? It's LA. It's gonna be bright and sunny (puts on sunglasses) all year long. Be a weatherman...


Green room.


TV.

James: Check.


Jane: Go back to Miles. Back to Miles!


Miles: These are really excellent, Chef Carlos.

Miles and Carlos touch fish sticks.

Miles: Oh, let me put my feet up, too.


Jane takes out a walkie-talkie.

Jane: Get me, every security officer on the KULA lot, and destroy Big Time Rush.


Miles: This just in, every security guard on the KULA lot is currently involved in a low speed chase.

Miles and Carlos: Sweet!


Jane throws the walkie-talkie at a person.


Carlos: Let's go live!

Rocque Records office, recording studio.

TV switches to an A.M. L.A. technical difficulties screen.

Gustavo and Kelly are crying.

Griffin walks in.

Griffin: The tallies are in and Rocque Records currently has the second lowest company rating next to our company's floundering fish stick division. See what I did there? Floundering?

The gamers are on a computer.

Gamer #1: Whoa. I just hacked into Valerie Bertinelli's e-mail account!

The gamers imitate an explosion sound.

Gustavo whimpers.

Griffin: So pack your bags, Gustavo. It looks like you're on your way to Rancho Cucamonga--

The assistant whispers in Griffin's ear.

Griffin: Whoa. That changes everything.

Gamers, Gustavo, Kelly: What changes everything?

Griffin: Thanks to Big Time Rush's TV appearance, stock in RCM's frozen fish stick division just jumped 20%. On Logan's advice, our accountant's purchased stock in Begley's Own Green Company, so now he can afford to save the world, and James' super-sunny forecast has our sunblock flying off the shelves. In total, the boys just earned the company $3.9 million, in 1.9 weeks.

Gustavo and Kelly: So we're staying?

Griffin: Let's see how many people download the song after the performance.


TV.

Miles makes a pose.

Miles: Oh. Are we back?

Jane: We're back? (puts the director close to her) Why are we back?! We don't have any more segments!


Director: We're four minutes short.

The boys walk in.

Kendall: Oh, if only there was something that could be done to fill that time.

The boys stroke their chins.

Jane pushes her producer's desk away.

Jane: Never! Do you hear me?! I'd rather have four minutes of dead air and get fired, than to lose to you!

Jane points two lasers at the boys. Kendall blocks the laser with a script.

Jane: (grumbles) As long as I'm standing here, Big Time Rush will never perform on live TV!

Katie runs into Jane with the cart. She finishes playing her game.

Katie: I did it! I defeated the evil She-Beast!

Jane whimpers.

Katie: And I was playing while driving again, wasn't I?

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan: Yep.

Katie slams her head on the steering wheel.

Director walks in holding a cue card.

Director: Miles?

Miles: Words to read. Let's give it up for Big Time Rush!
