(panting) ‐ (man): Stop!

You're flat.

‐ I'm sorry, it's just really hard to get

across the stage fast enough while holding that note.

‐ Holly, this is the scene where the alien girl

realizes humans have destroyed Earth,

and that if she stays, they will destroy her too.

I need to feel that.

So, don't apologize, just do it again.

‐ Do you want me to show Holly how? I'm sure I can nail it on the first try.

‐ Are you for real? ‐ That won't be necessary, Savannah.

I'll run through the blocking for the understudies

at the end of rehearsal. ‐ I'll keep practicing

until I get it. ‐ Of course you will.

Just remember: breathe,

connect, visualize.

We're all in this together. OK?

Ready for the game tomorrow, Hobbie?

‐ If you're asking if I'm gonna outhit you,

then the answer is always yes.

‐ Eww! Oh, guys, who farted?

‐ Whoever smelled it dealt it.

‐ No way!

‐ Guys, it was definitely the Witch.

‐ Ohhh! Haha!

‐ It most certainly was not.

‐ I don't know, it sounds like something a farter would say.

‐ I'm surprised the smell could escape from under your cloak.

‐ Come on, guys, maybe it wasn't her.

‐ Then who was it? The wizard sitting behind us?

(kids laughing)

‐ I feel really bad.

It wasn't Claudia, it was me.

‐ Oh yeah. I guess that's your brand.

‐ Isn't it mean to let her take all the heat?

‐ Hey, what are you reading? Harry Farter?

(some kids laughing)

‐ It's not even a good joke.

‐ Don't worry about it.

Everyone will have forgotten it by the time we get to school.

It'll totally... blow over. (chuckling)

‐ I think they want us to use

the same formula we did in question 2.

‐ I love you and your brain. (chuckling)

‐ Shouldn't you be studying?

The test this week counts for like half of our final mark.

‐ I won't be able to concentrate if I can't figure out

what I'm doing wrong in rehearsal.

No matter what, I'm always a few seconds behind,

and the director made it very clear he expects me to nail it.

‐ OK...

But what if it's literally

physically impossible unless you get yourself in better shape?

You have to get across the stage, which is a pretty far distance,

all while holding that high F?

The running is expending

your lung capacity way too fast.

Even if you were able to move 20% faster,

you still wouldn't be able to hit your mark in time.

‐ I can't increase my lung capacity overnight.

(sigh) This guy's a professional;

he wouldn't be asking me to do it if it was impossible.

‐ Why can't you just make it easier?

‐ Maybe if I came up with an alternative, he'd be willing to listen?

Would show I'm a team player. ‐ Then you could start studying

for this giant, extremely important test that you are

currently neglecting.

‐ It would help if I didn't have to go around the chorus members.

So if the chorus...

‐ ...scatters as I approach, it would make it a lot easier

for me to hit my mark. I feel it would heighten the desperation my character's feeling.

‐ That makes sense to me. ‐ So we're just gonna scrap everything

because Holly can't pull it off?

‐ I was just trying to help.

‐ Well, in that case, you should probably just take over

since you obviously feel you know best.

‐ I'm... No, I'm sorry‐‐ ‐ No. No, no, no, no!

By all means, here.

Hey, listen up, everyone! From now on,

Holly is in complete creative control.

You will be taking all of your direction

from her. Oh, but make sure

not to make it too hard, or else you'll have

cast members coming up with their own blocking and trying to take your job.

‐ I'm sorry. I didn't mean‐‐ ‐ Your time would have been better spent learning

my blocking which, by the way, is the blocking.

First positions for Alien Girl solo!

‐ ♪ Ooooh ooh‐ooh ♪

‐ It must be the apocalypse. ‐ What? Why?

‐ 'Cause there's a ham and cheese sandwich in front of you, you're not eating it.

‐ Crushing guilt really kills your appetite.

You said the whole thing with Claudia would blow over,

and it hasn't. It's gotten worse.

People have been making fun of her all morning.

People who weren't even on the bus.

Ben challenged her to a Mario Fart tournament.

‐ Yeah, that was pretty good. ‐ Levi!

‐ Don't worry about it. Come on, she's pretty weird.

‐ What does that have to do with it?

‐ If she wasn't getting teased about this,

she'd probably be getting teased about something else.

‐ I really don't think that's the way to be thinking

about this. ‐ Are you done with THAT?!

‐ Where did you come from?! ‐ The lunchroom.

‐ Terrifying!

‐ I'll ask again: Are you done with that?

‐ What? My sandwich... that I'm eating?

‐ Yes.

‐ I am, I guess.

Why? Do you want it?

‐ I do.

‐ Uh...

‐ OK, if we can't make fun of her for the fart,

can we make fun of her for that? That was so weird!

She's such a weirdo!

‐ Or maybe she's just hungry all the time.

Maybe she asked for my sandwich because she doesn't have enough to eat at home.

How horrible would that be?

She's hungry all the time, and people are calling her

"Jack the Ripper". That's no way to live.

‐ Maybe, but what are you gonna do about it?

‐ We're gonna follow her and get to the bottom of this.

And if necessary, we're going to help her.

‐ I was afraid you were gonna say that.

Whoa! ‐ (laughing): Whoa! Careful.

‐ Sorry.

‐ Also, what the heck are you doing?

‐ Training. I need to get my lung capacity up

if I'm gonna be able to do the blocking.

(Holly sighing)

Ugh! Oh...

(small chuckle)

(Holly's dad grunting) I should just quit,

give the role to Savannah,

save her from having to push me offstage.

(Holly's dad laughing)

‐ You're talented and you're smart,

and you can do anything.

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

‐ But... what if I don't?

‐ I don't want you to be one of those people

that quits when things get hard.

I, uh... I quit piano after a month.

I trained for exactly one week

for a marathon before I gave up.

I read the first 10 pages

of War and Peace. ‐ It's quite a list.

‐ Mmm‐hmm. But you're not like that.

You're more like your mother. And she never gives up.

When things get hard, she works even harder.

‐ She read War and Peace? ‐ Twice.

‐ Why would anyone do that to themselves? ‐ I don't know.

You got this. I know you do.

Mm‐hmm?

Just stay hydrated.

(Holly's dad grunting) (Holly chuckling)

‐ There has to be a logical explanation.

‐ (Levi): Is that your sandwich? I think she's putting a curse on you.

She must have figured out that you were the farter and you got her to take

the blame. (Claudia vocalizing loudly)

At least, we know she's not hungry.

She's all full of eye of newt.

‐ Attagirl!

(Piper and Holly laughing)

‐ Alright, everyone, back to ones.

I'm changing the blocking for this section.

‐ What?! But... but didn't you see? I did it!

‐ Yes. And now that I was finally able to see it all the way through, I don't like it.

It's not the emotional energy I want for this section.

‐ Um... OK, maybe if you see it again,

then you‐‐ ‐ That won't be necessary. We're gonna have an extra rehearsal

tomorrow to learn the new material.

‐ But... really? Until when?

‐ Until I'm satisfied. If you hadn't taken this long

to learn the blocking, I could have made this decision earlier.

(indistinct chatter)

‐ That's tough. I know how hard you worked to get that.

‐ I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

And I have no idea when I'm gonna be able

to study for the math test if we're gonna have rehearsals

all tomorrow too. ‐ You're not ready?

‐ Not at all. I've been spending all of my time

learning all this blocking that he just threw out the window.

‐ I'm sure you're more prepared than you think. Just look over your notes when you get home.

(snapping fingers) ‐ Hey! Hey! Back to ones.

‐ Let's go, sis! Shake it off! You've got this one!

‐ Strike three, you're out! ‐ Grrr!

‐ You'll get them next time, kiddo.

‐ I'm surprised I could strike out this game.

I'm never this bad. ‐ Are you feeling OK?

‐ My arms are Jell‐O, and my head's all fuzzy.

‐ Well, maybe you're coming down with something.

Do you think we should go home?

‐ Robbie... ‐ What?

What, are you gonna puke? Faint? What? What is it?

‐ There's no such thing as magic,

right? ‐ Oh!

Magic, huh? ‐ Yeah, like

the supernatural and curses and all that.

Robbie...

Robbie...

‐ So when I was 3, Mom and Dad took me at Madison,

and apparently some random guy came up

to me and told me I was gonna die.

‐ Just out of nowhere? ‐ Just out of nowhere.

So apparently, Mom didn't think anything of it,

but that was something about it that really spooked Dad.

So we went home, and Dad took me to Dr. Lee,

and I had a blood clot in my leg.

If they hadn't caught it,

it probably would have dislodged and gone to my heart

and killed me.

‐ So what? You're saying that the guy knew

and he was, like, warning you guys?

Don't you think it was probably just a giant coincidence?

‐ Maybe. Maybe not. See? That's my point:

we don't know what we don't know, you know?

‐ OK. OK, then Alien Girl comes over here

blocking his right. We make sure the audience

sees her with this... ‐ He rewrote

the entire last act. Do you think it was because of me? ‐ I don't know,

but he definitely didn't get any sleep last night.

‐ I feel horrible. We're all out here

because of me, and now no one's gonna be able to study. ‐ No, no, it's not your fault.

‐ Holly, since it's your fault we're all out here, we'll start

with you. So now after your solo, instead of saving

your Earth girl best friend from the Climate Change Monster,

you lament the fate of the planet while wishing

your intergalactic prince to come save you. And go!

‐ Oh, um...

"I give up. I can't defeat these humans

"in their drive to destroy our planet.

"I thought I was strong, but I'm weak.

"Oh, please, intergalactic prince, rescue me for I can't win‐‐"

‐ Wait, stop, stop. Holly, I brought you all out here,

so you could connect to the planet, the Earth,

the thing Alien Girl is

so desperate to save, and instead you give me that?!

‐ I'm sorry, it's just my first time reading it.

‐ Are we keeping you from something, Piper?

‐ Well, it's just that we all have this really important

math test to study for.

‐ OK. I'll tell you what: if Holly nails this

on the next try, you can all go home. Holly, go!

"I give up. I can't defeat

these humans in their drive to destroy our planet"

‐ Well, so much for that. Even worse than last time.

‐ Look, since I'm the one struggling, what if I stay and everyone else can go?

‐ Absolutely not! Do it again!

‐ "I give up. I can't defeat these humans in their drive

to destroy our planet." ‐ Are you doing this on purpose?

Or do you just not understand the emotional gravity

of this moment? ‐ No, no, I do. Absolutely.

‐ Then what?! Do you have an issue

with the revisions? ‐ No, not at all. It's just‐‐

‐ What?! What?! Spit it out!

‐ In the last version, Alien Girl rescued herself

and her best friend and now she's‐‐ ‐ OK, wait. Don't tell me,

there's some sort of feminist agenda at play here.

‐ I was just surprised, given how empowering

your last show was. ‐ I can't tell if you're

arrogant or just plain stupid. But if I pulled this nonsense

on the set of Hunter's Point, I wouldn't have lasted a day.

A day! ‐ I'm really sorry.

‐ Go home, everyone. I'm finished here.

‐ Are you OK? ‐ I shouldn't have said anything.

I need to go apologize. ‐ I honestly don't know.

Maybe he's hard on you because he's trying to get the best performance he can.

‐ What do I do? ♪♪♪

‐ I guess you go home and practice...

after you study for the math test.

Ugh! ‐ (woman): Hobbie, bring it in!

(Heather grunting)

‐ Coach is pulling me?! ‐ Wouldn't you?

What's with you today? ‐ I don't know!

‐ Well, what I've heard is you better shake it off.

If you keep this up, we're gonna lose!

‐ I farted, OK?

I'm the one who farts! OK, I'm really, really sorry

I let you take the fall for it but could you please, please,

please lift the curse? If I keep this up,

my team's gonna kill me!

‐ You thought I put a curse on you?

‐ Yes...

‐ That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

‐ I mean, I thought so too,

but then why were you burying my sandwich in your yard

and saying all those weird things? I mean,

I came to check on you to see if maybe you asked for my sandwich because you were hungry.

‐ That's sweet, but I can assure you I'm very well fed.

And I wasn't putting a curse on you,

I was asking the fairies to bring you back to me

to be my friend. ‐ Excuse me? Fairies?

‐ It's all in here. When Juliet wanted

Darius to be her friend, the fairies

asked her to bury something of his, so that they could

connect him to the Life Network and summon him!

But obviously, it didn't work.

Perhaps I'm the one who's truly cursed.

Cursed to spend the rest of my school years alone,

mocked for farts I didn't make.

Good luck with the rest of your baseball game, Heather.
