114 - How to Rock an Election

Whoa, is it really fair for you to be putting.
Your campaign posters over Molly's? Is it fair for humans to drive polar bears.
Out of their natural habitats? Good point.
How is that a good point? She just completely changed the subject.
She's very convincing.
Thank you, Nelson.
It's one of the many traits that will make me.
The best class president this school has ever known.
Perfs win every year.
It's time we elected a normal kid president.
And you're a normal kid? Compared to The Perfs, yes.
Yes, I am.
Well, as your campaign manager, I'm happy to report your message is getting out there.
Oh.
Indeed it is.
According to my latest polling numbers, You've got solid support in most of the key groups, But you and Molly are still in a statistical tie.
Dang it! I've got to start playing dirty.
Start playing dirty? - Zander, less commenting, more poster up-putting.
What do you think you're doing? Putting my campaign posters over your ugly eyesores.
It's on, y'all.
And the time has come for perf rule to end, So why don't you just give up now.
And spare yourself a long, humiliating campaign? - Why don't you stop defacing my custom-made posters.
With your photocopied monstrosities? Ooh, a real political thriller.
Now, remember, Never fight a boss monster.
If he controls the spell you already have.
It's a waste of health, And it won't level you up.
Wow, the gamers really flock to Kevin.
It's like he's covered in nerd attractant.
But these are exactly the people.
Your campaign is not appealing to.
It's true.
With the issues that affect gamers.
So these people aren't voting for me? That's not gonna work.
Then and only then.
Do you put your saddle on the golden Toad.
Oh.
Hey, Kevin, I want you to be on team Kacey.
Not now, Kacey.
I'm with my people.
I think you mean our people.
What up, gamers? Whoa.
? Only You Can Be You ? ? only I can be me ? ? you always want to be what you're not ? ? can't you be happy with what you've got? ? ? you're perfect the way you are ? ? with your insecurities, flaws, and scars ? ? your life's too short to worry ? ? don't you know it's true ? ? Only You Can Be You ? ? only I can be me ? ? Only You Can Be You ? ? only I can be me ? ? Only You Can Be You ? ? only I can be me ? ? Only You Can Be You ? ? only I can be me ? ? I can be me ? "A match made in Kevin.
" I like it.
But I don't get it.
It's your campaign poster.
But I don't want to be class president.
You've got to come in early for meetings, You've got all this extra work.
Don't worry, Kevin.
You're not gonna get elected.
I just need you to run, Get the support of your gamer friends, Then right before the election, you'll drop out of the race.
And tell them all to vote for me.
- Sounds like an awesome plan.
- Mm? But I don't want to do it.
Come on, Kevin.
Please.
For me? You'll be my hero.
I'll do it.
Yes! Thank you! With the support I already have.
Plus your gamers, I'll be elected, And the normal kids will finally have a voice.
That's good, but we probably shouldn't.
Leave anything to chance.
Maybe we should hold a campaign rally.
Yeah.
We could have pizza, a dj, big time rush can perform, Balloons Hang on a second.
Now you're being ridiculous.
What? You don't think I can get balloons? Yeah, I meant big time rush.
I totally know them.
My cousin Danny's friend Phil.
Is friends with big time rush's manager, Steve's girlfriend, Melanie's cousin, Robin.
Wow, you're practically family.
I know.
Kacey, maybe you should stick to pizza and balloons.
It seems that 100% of your bandmates agree.
There is no way you know btr.
You'll see.
They're in town.
I'm gonna get them.
So you guys worry about Kevin's campaign, And let me and Stevie worry about mine.
I guess I need a campaign manager.
Nelson, I couldn't imagine it being.
Anyone but you.
Sorry, but I'm an independent pollster.
Zander, I couldn't imagine it being anyone but you.
Wow, I'm honored But I'll do it.
Okay, was it just me, or was that awkward? Yeah, I've never been asked.
To autograph a baby's face before.
It wasn't awkward.
The baby was totally into it.
Yeah.
A little too into it.
I'm telling you, there's no way.
That we were the first people to ever sign that baby's face.
Hey, guys.
- Hi.
- What's up? Uh, what can we autograph for you? Actually, I'm not here for an autograph.
I'm Kacey Simon.
- Oh.
- Oh, yeah.
Oh, boy.
Kacey Simon.
You know Robin, your manager's girlfriend's cousin? Do we? - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Her friend Phil is really good friends.
With my cousin Danny! Now it makes sense.
That's lovely.
That's great.
I have no idea who that is.
- Right.
- Not a clue.
Let's hurry it up, girls.
Let's hurry it up, Kacey.
Okay, let's cut to the Chase.
I need you, you, you, and you.
To perform in my campaign rally.
What's it gonna take? Look, you look like a really nice girl, But this is more of a buy a cd, get an autograph.
Kind of thing.
Oh.
Can't it be a buy a cd, Get a concert at my school kind of thing? All right.
We're done here.
I am not leaving here until these guys I guess I am.
All right, Nelson.
Hit us with the numbers.
Impressive.
Kevin's already making gains in my latest poll.
According to this, he's got favorable numbers.
With gamers, skateboarders, kids who think they're wizards, And those weird dudes who eat lunch in the trees.
Good.
I've been getting Kevin ready.
For tomorrow's debate in assembly.
No, you haven't.
All right, Kevin, again, Debating isn't just saying.
The opposite of whatever the other person says.
Yes, it is.
We've still got a ways to go.
Hey, check out my poster.
"you need Kevin Reed, Guaranteed, yes indeed.
" - Very rhyme-y.
Thank you.
All me.
How's your campaign going? Well, it's You know, we had a small setback.
- Big-time setback.
But luckily, my campaign ad is coming out tomorrow.
It's gonna blow everybody away.
- Big-time.
- Stop it.
A lot of candidates promise you a lot of things.
Some promise you some things, But I, Kacey Simon, am the only candidate.
Who promises you no things, Except one thing.
I will be your voice, the voice of the regular kids.
I believe Brewster high can be great again, So vote for me.
Simon says.
? give up Hope ? ? throw away your vote ? ? stop ? ? don't do it ? ? I didn't say "simon says" ? I like it.
There is one dark cloud on the horizon though.
Molly's commercial is trending.
Who is Kacey Simon? A perf? She was Once.
Now she's a member of Gravity 5.
How are we supposed to trust a flip-flopper? Does she have any loyalty to anyone? What's she gonna be part of next? The cheerleaders? The french club? The future farmers of America? And now, Kacey Simon says.
She wants to be our next class president.
Is that a risk we're willing to take? Hi, I'd like to vote for Kacey Simon.
Okay, but which Kacey Simon? Oh, I don't know! I'm so confused! Help! Help! I can't help you unless you vote for me, Molly Garfunkel, a name you can trust.
Don't forget! Vote for Molly! Whoa! Whoa! You're just buying votes! No, I'm not.
I'm just encouraging people to vote.
While giving away free stuff.
I'm gonna give you this toy puppy, But you have to vote for Molly.
Grace, cool it.
What? I'm just buying votes.
Vote for Molly.
I got a puppy.
Well, someone's not a dog person.
I Hope that Kevin comes through.
With those gamer votes.
Shouldn't be a problem.
Here we go! ? excuse the interruption ? ? no time to be hesitant ? ? my name is Kevin Reed, I'll be your next president ? ? now, several of you know me for playing the drums ? ? but I step up to represent you when the time comes ? ? I'm all about the truth 'cause that's what my mama says ? ? who hear me telling lies or making empty promises? ? ? now, I started from behind, but I know I can succeed ? ? in the voting both tomorrow, just remember Kevin Reed ?.
Not bad.
Kind of cool how they digging me, huh? Who knew I was a man of the people? Wow, Kevin.
I could kiss you! You've clearly got the gamer vote and much more.
I mean, they were eating out of your hands.
Can we get back to the part.
Where she said she could kiss me? The timing here is great.
The debate is in assembly at 2:00, And that's when you tell everyone.
That you're bowing out of the race.
Oh, right, right, we had that deal.
Yes, we did.
That's the only reason why you got into the race.
If I'm gonna beat Molly, I need your votes.
You say you're doing this for the normal kids.
Well, I am a normal kid.
You've always been popular, Kacey.
And maybe it's time for one of the unpopular kids.
To prove that you can be popular even when you're not popular.
What? I earned my votes.
I'm keeping them, and I'm staying in the race.
And another thing.
You could still kiss me.
No.
I'm staying in the race.
Ke ke-ke ke-ke ke-kevin Reed.
Welcome to the Brewster high class president debate.
Let's meet our candidates: Kacey Simon, Molly Garfunkel, And Kevin "who's the man" Reed.
Who's the man? Our first question goes to Molly.
Molly, what plans do you have to improve the prom? Oh, great question, dahlia.
I propose a carnival theme, In which we will fly in world-class acrobats from Rio.
Leadership is about vision, dahlia, And I am the only candidate who has it.
Yeah, you are.
Kacey? I have a vision for you, A vision of a prom.
Attended only by Molly and her perfy friends.
Because no one else can afford a ticket! When I'm elected, Our prom will have local acrobats.
Who take the bus.
Or maybe someone's dad could pick them up.
That way, we'd all be able to afford to go.
Whoo! Kevin, how do you respond? I've been considering this issue carefully, And I'd like to respond.
By asking my constituents a question.
Are there any party people in the house tonight? Oh, you know it! You got it! Thank you, dahlia.
- I have a follow-up question for Kacey about the prom.
Kacey, is it your intention to bore people to death.
On the most special night of their lives? Is that what you people want? A boring prom? No.
Uh, my prom wouldn't be boring.
I have many great ideas.
Oh, really? Would you care to share any of those great ideas with us? Well, there's so many great ideas, um, I don't know where to begin, but there's a lot.
Hmm, seems like you have no ideas.
I can get big time rush to perform here! I'm sorry.
I didn't realize this year's prom.
Would be taking place in your imagination.
Ooh.
Oh, she didn't.
Kevin, do you have a rebuttal? My opponents are overthinking this.
We don't need acrobats for a prom.
All we need is fun people, good music, and a great dancer.
? ? Oh, it's on! That's right! Big Time Rush? Really? Ooh! Dude, you were awesome.
No, you were awesome.
Hey, I was awesome.
No, you were terrible.
Okay, just kidding you were awesome.
He's kidding.
You really were terrible.
Okay, hold up.
Which one was it? Awesome.
Yeah.
Pizza delivery.
Oh, pizza.
Wait, wait, we didn't order pizza.
What, you guys don't want any pizza? No, we love pizza.
There is no pizza.
I really need you guys to perform at my school.
Oh.
It's the crazy "come perform at my school" girl.
Crazy.
I'm not crazy.
It's just that I told the entire student body that I knew you, So unless you perform at my school tomorrow, I am gonna lose the election and look like a complete fool.
Oh, no, hang on.
You went through all the trouble of dressing like that, Sneaking past security, And you still didn't bring any pizza? Seriously? Oh, okay.
Security, pizza girl's back, And with no pizza! Come on, guys! You know what High School's like.
Wouldn't you have loved it if someone swooped in.
And saved you from your most embarrassing moment? Well? You guys have the power to do that for me.
So please.
Okay, hold up.
I'm confused.
How do you buy a pizza box with no pizza in it? - Right? - That's a good question.
Hey, Gary, Stan.
I know the drill.
Bye.
Well, it's still anybody's race.
It's neck and neck And neck.
If Kevin had just dropped out of the race.
Like we agreed, I would totally have this.
- Free vote for Molly flip-flops from the flip-flop candidate, The candidate who doesn't flip-flop.
Uh, Grace, I told you that's incredibly confusing.
I agree, but what choice do we have? - I told you to get t-shirts and not flip-flops.
Okay, but since I didn't listen to you, What choice do we have? - Hey.
- Hey.
So whatever happens, we're cool, right? You know it.
I guess our votes kind of cancel each other out.
I mean, I voted for me And I voted for you.
Right.
What? You voted for me? Yeah.
You know, we did have a deal, And if you really want to be the voice of the people, You should be.
Everybody, I have an announcement to make.
Really? Over this campaign, I have made a lot of promises.
But there's only one that I know I can keep, And that's this.
If you vote for Kevin Reed, you will never regret it.
What is she doing? She's gone rogue.
- Well, technically, she's mid-rogue.
I am trying to be the voice of the people, But Kevin, He is the voice of the people.
So as of right now, I am dropping out of the race.
Simon says, "vote for Kevin!" Kevin! Kevin! Kevin! Kevin! Kevin! Are you kidding me? Wait, don't listen to her.
This is just a cheap emotional ploy.
And it's totally working! Kevin! Kevin! ? ? Hey.
What you did for Kevin, that was really cool.
Thanks, Zander.
It felt really good.
You know what I was thinking, Kacey? I may not have won the election, But at least I'm not known as that deluded girl.
Who thinks she knows big time rush.
Good luck living that one down.
I still can't believe I lost to one of them.
Hi, we're looking for Kacey Simon.
Uh, I didn't order any pizzas.
Hey, that's all right.
There is no pizza.
You came.
After you left, we talked about.
How we'd each been completely embarrassed in High School, And we wish we could have been bailed out.
By someone as cool as Us.
Wow.
You guys are amazing.
Thank you.
Oh, look.
Big time rush is here.
That's not a normal thing, is it? No.
She cannot know big time rush! Oh, I'm having a nightmare.
Grace, punch me in the face and wake me up.
Okay.
Don't.
Hey, since you guys are here, Will you guys sing a song for my friend Kevin? Of course.
How could we say "no" To Robin's best friend cousin Steve's brother's friend? Oh, no, no, no.
It's my cousin Danny's girlfriend's best friend Whatever.
We're practically family.
I love you! Kevin! I have a surprise for you.
We're big time rush, and Mr.
President, This next song is for you.
? better with you, yeah ? ? I try to write this down ? ? the words just don't come out ? ? it's hard to say how you feel ? ? been down the longest road ? ? said "yes" when I meant "no" ? ? I lost control of the wheel ? ? 'cause you know that things get so bad ? ? you've got my back ? ? make me want to sing ? ? and girl, I'm singing 'bout you ? ? no sweeter sound ?.
He's cute.
Super cute.
? no perfect love ? ? could be more perfect than ours ? ? ooh, baby ? ? it feels like ? ? the music sounds better with you, baby ?.
This is the best victory party ever.
We will never doubt you again.
No, ma'am.
You'd have made a great president, Kacey.
Oh, next year, dancing boy is going down.
? whoa, I couldn't help myself ? ? let this heart go through ? ? there's only so much a heart can take ? ? 'cause you know that things get so bad ? ? you've got my back ? ? make me want to sing ? ? and girl, I'm singing 'bout you ? ? no sweeter sound ? ? than what I've found ? ? no perfect love ? ? could be more perfect than ours ? ? ooh, baby ? ? it feels like ? ? the music sounds better with you, baby ? ? it feels right ? ? everything's better with you ?.
We played in London, Paris, Berlin and New York.
Sold out every show.
That's pretty cool.
I guess.
We play at the gym, the courtyard, the mall packing lot.
One time, they took the divider down between mall's purple rooms 3 and 4.
We rock the whole thing.
Wow.
That's my baby.
You guys were awesome out there.
Maybe sometime Big Time Rush and Gravity 5 can play together.
- Yeah.
- Hold on a second.
Do these guys know how to hold it down? - Oh I thing we know how to - Here we go.
- Hold it down.
- Down.
- We got - Yeah.
