Austin and Ally s02e20 Episode Script

For as long as I can remember, it's been my dream to be out on that court.
There's nothing better than being in front of the fans, everyone screaming.
I mean, what little boy doesn't want to grow up to be a cheerleader? I can think of one.
I think it's great you're trying out for the cheer leading squad, Dez.
What are you guys doing? I'm interviewing Dez for the school paper.
We have a school paper? Of course we do.
I'm doing an article on school spirit week, and if they like it, they'll make me a reporter.
School spirit week? That's the lamest thing I've ever heard.
Yippee, school, rah rah rah.
You know, they're giving a thousand-dollar prize to the student who shows the most spirit.
Yippee! School! Rah rah rah! Go Mustangs! We're the Manatees.
Oh.
Go Manatees! This is great.
We're all getting into this.
Go us! Okay.
So what are you doing for school spirit week, Austin? I don't really do any school stuff, unless you count homework.
Actually, no, I don't do any school stuff.
Well, you are kinda busy.
You do have a little thing called a singing career.
I know, but I should at least be able to do one thing.
Let's see.
I like photography, wood shop, lunch.
I just wish there was something besides music that I was really good at.
What? You've gotta join the basketball team.
We have a basketball team? That's it! I'm gonna play basketball! And I'm gonna cheer for you.
Woo! - I'm gonna write about it all.
- And I'm gonna win $1,000.
Go - Manatees! - Mustangs! I mean Manatees! When the crowd wants more, I bring on the thunder.
'Cause you've got my back, and I'm not going under.
You're my point, you're my guard.
You're the perfect chord.
And I see our names together on every billboard.
We're headed for the top, we've got it on lock.
We'll make 'em say "hey!" And we'll keep rockin'.
Oh, there's no way I could make it without ya.
Do it without ya, be here without ya.
It's no fun when you're doing it solo.
With you it's like, "whoa".
Yeah, and I know.
I own this dream.
'Cause I got you with me.
There's no way I could make it without ya.
Do it without ya, be here without ya.
- Get it! Man man up! - Shoot it, shoot it! Yeah! Attaboy.
Austin Moon, the new starting point guard for Marino High Was impressive in his first practice.
Aw, thanks, Ally.
Except for the three turnovers and eight missed free throws.
You know, you don't have to report everything.
So how does it feel to be on the team? Great.
When I'm out there, I'm not Austin Moon, pop star.
I'm Austin Moon, one of the guys.
Here's that autographed ball you wanted, Jim.
Guess who got a job as the basketball team manager? I clean dirty uniforms and wipe sweat off the court during games.
- Sounds disgusting.
- It is! If that doesn't show them school spirit, I don't know what does.
Let's go, Manatees! I need those towels.
I love washing gross, sweaty towels.
Oh.
Good times.
Good times.
School spirit has really brought out the best in Trish.
I give her a day before she cracks.
Hey, buddy.
Good luck on your cheer leading tryouts.
Oh, I don't need luck.
I've got a little thing called "talent".
That's what I call my good luck charm talent.
All right, you cheer hopefuls.
It's time to line up.
L-I-N-E U-P! - Hey, Austin.
- Hey, Kimmy.
Just joined the basketball team.
Wanna hang out? You're cute, but no thanks.
I only date athletes.
I said I just joined the basketball team.
Oh, I mean real athletes Cheerleaders! Seriously? Hey, Kimmy.
I'm here for cheer leading tryouts.
Do you want me to start with the manatee cheer or a handspring? Not so fast, Red.
Chuck.
You're trying out too? I'm not wearing a track suit and body glitter for nothing.
You're not making The Squad.
There's not enough glitter in the world to make you a better cheerleader than me.
First of all, I'm already a better cheerleader than you.
And second of all, there's more than enough glitter in the world.
I should know.
My family's in the glitter business.
Good, then you'll have a job to fall back on when you don't make The Squad.
Easy, boys.
I know you're both tough.
Oh, I am much tougher than he is.
I'm so tough, Navy Seals wanna be me when they grow up.
I'm so tough, when something bad happens, people don't say, "tough luck".
They say, "Chuck luck".
I'm so tough, if I were a math problem, I'd be impossible to solve.
Okay, guys, let's channel all that aggression into a cheer.
Chuck, you go first.
M-a-n-a-t-e-e! Marino High is the team to beat! Yay! Go! Woo! Is that all you've got? Ready? Okay! M-a-n-a-t-e-e! Marino High won't take defeat! Go team! Woo! Guess who made cookies for the basketball team.
Ooh, and they're manatee shaped.
- That's nice of you.
- I had no choice.
Darcy Pivnick made cupcakes for the football team.
There's no way I'm gonna lose to that goody two-shoes.
That's the spirit.
This tastes horrible.
Yeah, I ran out of sugar, so I just used sand.
Dez made the cheer leading squad! So did Chuck, but I'm not worried.
Because I'm gonna be Yell King.
Yeah, you will, because you're the best.
Gimme a "B," gimme an "E" Ally, please.
Leave the cheer leading to the pros.
How cool is this? I'm on the basketball team.
You're writing for the paper.
- Dez is a cheerleader.
- Woo! Trish is pretending to care about school to win money.
I came up with a surefire way to win that money.
To end spirit week, I've organized a huge concert in the school gym.
That's generous of you.
Actually, it's generous of you.
You're the headliner.
Oh.
- Hey, Jimmy.
- Austin Moon.
I came by to tell you that I'm bringing the owner of the Miami Heat to your school concert.
- You know about that? - Yeah, Trish told me.
She sure has school spirit.
I can't believe the owner of The Heat's coming.
I'm trying to get you to perform at halftime during a Heat Game, so you've gotta impress him.
You should bring him by early to see Austin's basketball game.
Thanks, buddy.
You think I'm good enough to make The Heat? No.
I want him to see me cheer.
I could be a Heat cheerleader.
I've got skills.
Go team! Congratulations on making the team, Austin.
- Thanks.
- Now quit.
What? Austin, maybe I didn't make this clear when I signed you.
You're not just a singer.
You're a dancer, too.
And I've got a lot of money invested in you.
I don't want you doing anything that'll get you hurt.
I never even thought about that.
Is it okay if I keep cheer leading? Maybe I wasn't clear to you either.
I don't care what you do.
Oh, so you're cool with me cheer leading? Thank you so much for your support, Jimmy.
Jimmy, I know you don't want Austin to get hurt, but he's still a kid.
Now's the time we're supposed to be having fun, playing sports, taking risks.
This coming from the girl who wears a helmet when she jumps rope? Hey, do you know how many people get injured jumping rope every year? Zero? Exactly, and I am not gonna be the first.
Sorry, Austin.
But but, Jimmy, I really wanted to play basketball.
It's the first time since my career took off that I've felt like a normal high school kid.
You've gotta quit the team.
I hate to break it to you, Austin, but you're not a normal kid.
I know how you feel, buddy.
People have been telling me I'm not a normal kid my whole life.
Mmm, sand cookies.
Just like the ones my grandma makes.
Hey, Austin.
What are you doing? Jimmy doesn't want me to do anything that can get me hurt, so I'm saying goodbye to all my fun stuff.
Goodbye, skateboard.
Goodbye, basketball.
Goodbye, high-tops.
You don't have to get rid of this stuff.
Actually, maybe you should get rid of these.
Sorry.
I know how much you wanna play basketball.
I didn't know that when my career took off that I'd have to give up being a regular kid.
I know it doesn't seem fair, but Jimmy's got a point.
You could get injured and not be able to perform.
You're right.
I'm gonna quit the team.
But on the other hand, you have your whole life to be a star.
You're right! I'm not gonna quit the team! Then again, all your fans are counting on you.
Oh, you're right.
I'm gonna quit the team.
But your team and your school are also counting on you.
You're right! I'm not gonna quit the team! Or am I? You're confusing me! I think you should play basketball.
Life is full of risks.
That's why I wear a helmet when I jump rope and elbow pads when I make a salad.
How do you make a salad? Because I'm pretty sure you're doing it wrong.
I think you should follow your heart.
Then I'm gonna keep playing basketball.
I wanna enjoy high school.
Good for you, Austin! What are you doing? I'm gonna go brush my teeth.
Hey, Kimmy.
Do you mind if I watch cheer practice for my article? Sure.
I just love it when people bug me when I'm busy.
Is that a yes or a no? I can't tell.
You're just so perky.
I know.
It's a gift.
Today's a big day.
We're picking our Yell King.
It's down to those two cheer hunks over there.
Uh, where? All I see are Dez and Chuck.
Oh yes, very hunky.
Are you boys ready for the game? You haven't decided who's gonna be Yell King yet.
It's gonna be me, because my cheers are the loudest.
Oh yeah? My cheers are so loud, I get noise complaints From dead people.
My cheers are so loud, they come with earplugs and a warning.
"Warning! My cheers are loud".
Well, my cheers are so loud, when I cheer in Florida, they tell me to keep it down In Canada.
Okay, guys, I've got an idea.
At tomorrow's game, you'll be co-Yell Kings.
Whoever does the better job gets the title for the rest of the season! Woo! Co-Yell Kings? That's not fair! Remember always be cheery! Co-Yell Kings? That's not fair! Woo! Yay! Woo! Yeah! Come on, co-Yell Kings, get the crowd going! - Woo! Yeah! - Let's go, Manatees! Let's go! Woo! Yeah! Why you whispering, Red? Let's go, Manatees! Let's go! You call that a yell? Make some noise! Woo! Yeah! You wanna hear some noise? I can't hear you! I can't hear you! Austin's really good.
This is so exciting.
Yay! The other team just scored.
It's still exciting.
Stand up and cheer! Woo! Woo! Sit down and stomp your feet! Do the wave! - Clap your hands! - Do the wave! - Clap your hands! - Do the wave! - Clap your hands! - Do the wave! - Hands! Hands! - Wave! Wave! - Hands! Hands! - Wave! Wave! Cool! They're doing my dance! - Hands! Hands! Hands! - Wave! Wave! Wave! - Hands! Hands! Hands! - Wave! Wave! Wave! Have you decided who's gonna be Yell King? It's so hard to decide.
You're both so handsome and cheery.
Stop it.
I'll make this an easy decision for you, Kimmy.
Step aside, Red.
Yell King coming through.
Woo! Not bad.
Now let me show you how a real man cheers.
Woo! Let's go, Manatees! I really hope we score.
Yeah, it'd be nice for Austin to win his first game.
I don't care who wins.
I just don't want it to go into overtime.
I don't know how much longer I can pretend to like wiping up sweat.
Woo! - Austin? - Are you okay? I don't know.
I hurt my knee.
That's awful.
How are you gonna dance at the concert tonight? I don't know if I can.
Oh! That's why Jimmy didn't want you playing basketball.
Huh! I got it.
- Ow! - Oh! Dez! - Be careful.
- Seriously.
- Come on.
- What am I gonna do? I'm supposed to perform at the school and Jimmy's coming.
He's gonna be so mad.
He told you not to play basketball.
I know.
And he's bringing the owner of the Miami Heat.
I know! And while we were at the hospital, I took five bucks out of your wallet to buy a snack.
I know.
Wait, I didn't know that.
Why didn't you just listen to Jimmy in the first place? Because you told me not to.
Yeah, I was hoping you forgot that.
Look, it's not your fault.
I made the decision to play and I just have to be honest with Jimmy about my knee.
Here he comes! Forget honesty! Help me hide it! - Oh oh oh.
- Go go go.
Ow.
Oh.
Oh! Jimmy! - 'Sup? - What happened to you? I hurt my leg cheer leading.
- I know you told me not to.
- I didn't tell you not to.
I should've been more like Austin and listened to you and not done the thing you told me not to do.
What? Man, I will never understand you.
Hey, check this out.
Usher played halftime at a Heat Game last night.
- Oh wow.
- Cool.
- Check it out.
- Oh.
Look at that.
You can't see it from there.
Get over here.
Oh, that is cool.
That could be you if you put on a great show tonight.
Oh, it'll be great.
Just me sitting on a stool, playing my guitar.
Better not be.
My friend from The Heat's expecting the full Austin Moon experience.
Singing, dancing and more dancing.
Are you sure he wouldn't like singing, sitting and more sitting? Hilarious.
Austin, I'll see you tonight.
- Break a leg.
- Would a knee work? There's no better way to end spirit week than with an Austin Moon performance.
Will he pull it off? Or will his knee buckle under the pressure? Did you just say his knee's gonna buckle? No.
I said "he".
"Will he buckle under the pressure?" That was close.
Fellow students, this performance was brought to you by Trish De La Rosa.
In honor of school spirit week.
Because no one loves Marino High more than me.
Go mustangs! - It's the Manatees! - You know what I meant.
I've got a smile on my face moving at my own pace.
Time I won't let it waste now Yeah! Work hard if you want it now.

Let's keep the momentum up.
Keep reaching, don't never stop.

Off the Richter, let it quake.

- Go go! - Forget the things that we've done.

Sorry you can't have a normal teenage life.
Nah, I'm okay with it Because I get to perform halftime at a Heat Game! Congrats, Austin.
