Backstage (2016) s02e22 Episode Script
Comfort Zone
[Vanessa.]
Previously on Backstage Your assignment for this semester is to create an EP that defines who you are as an artist.
Well, did you need any help? [Scarlett.]
I loved singing with you on "The Other Girl.
" Sit.
Looks like someone has a crush.
I like Kit?! I got you the audition, the rest is up to you.
[Carly.]
And it pays $500 for the day, right? My dad lost his job and money's been tight.
When you're really in trouble, ask for help.
Help.
[birds chirping.]
[Carly.]
Sorry.
Where have you been? And what are you wearing? [Carly sighs.]
I slept on my alarm, this was the first thing I could find.
- Let me help.
- It's okay.
Go.
Oh, your music video.
You tried it last night.
How'd it go? - Incredible.
- I want details! Later.
I'll tell you everything.
Skedaddle.
This is your final exam, worth 20 percent of your mark.
Final exam? What's the show? Oh, you know, just another project for me to miss out on.
Stop it, Vanessa.
Be positive.
Tell me, Miss Catto.
What role will you be auditioning for? Um, uh - Uh, hula girl? - [scoffs.]
An excellent choice For our Grade 10 dance captain? However, I believe the role you were looking for is the Wind, in the "Dance of the Seasons.
" [Helsweel.]
The wind carries us through the warm breeze of summer, to the cold chill of winter.
[Jenna.]
I'd love to play the Wind.
[Sasha.]
You are easy and breezy.
- [yawns.]
- Am I boring you, Ms.
Catto? No, Ms.
Helsweel, of course not.
It won't happen again.
All right.
Everyone, to the floor.
Not you, Ms.
Catto.
You need a late slip from the principal.
["Spark" playing.]
My eyes are open but I cannot see And I'm up and walking Still feels like a dream Until our eyes adjust, I guess We're only feeling in the darkness Oh, oh, oh - We just need a spark - Oh, oh - To light up the dark - Oh, oh I can feel you with me I can feel you with me - We just need a spark - Oh, oh - To light up the dark - Oh, oh I can feel you with me I can feel you with me We just need a spark [music playing.]
Okay, so I only made a few adjustments You brought up the harmonies and the chorus, and dropped the bass line and bridge.
Good ear.
[Scarlett.]
So, do you think we have a hit? Certifiable.
This one's a banger.
[both chuckling.]
Thanks, Jackson.
I'm glad we're back to being friends.
[phone chimes.]
[laptop snaps.]
- [stammers.]
Was was that weird? - [door opening.]
Definitely weird.
[sighs.]
It's official.
Our song is awesome.
But if we want it to be a hit - We're gonna need a - [both.]
Music video! So here's what I'm thinking.
We film it in a playground.
To express the theme of growing up? My character will be fierce and independent.
And mine will be fiercely in love.
Signified by an epic kiss with a gorgeous guy.
We want a kiss? Is that really necessary? Do you have an alternate pitch? Um, well, I don't know.
Maybe tease the audience with the possibility of a kiss and leave the rest up to the imagination.
Come on.
If they don't see a kiss, the audience is gonna feel ripped off.
Not necessarily.
The song is literally called, "Kiss Kiss.
" You have to admit it's perfect.
You're right.
It's perfect.
[Miles.]
I'm still dizzy, My head's too busy Ain't going anywhere I'm still shooting for the sun Looking for the one I'm on the run, run, run, run, run The song is beautiful, Miles, but But? It sounds like the cousin of songs I've heard from you in the past.
- "Cousin"? - What I mean is, it's similar.
Exactly.
The song is me.
Isn't that the point of the assignment? Yes, you're right.
But There's that "but" again.
What I wanna hear from you now is how you've grown as an artist.
What about the chord progressions? And the trick chord? Like I said, the song is beautiful but it's safe.
I believe no [chuckles.]
I know you're capable of more.
Take the "Red Riding Hood" assignment.
That song was raw.
Experimental.
Exciting.
You mean, the song I played when I blew up my relationship with Julie? Challenge yourself, Miles.
Step out of your comfort zone.
Come back later in the day and play me something different.
["Four Seasons" playing.]
- [snaps.]
- [music stops.]
[Vanessa.]
Awesome, guys.
But don't forget, this dance is about the hope and excitement of spring.
Tell a story with your face.
Can you watch me do it again? - Again! Again! - Okay! Okay.
You sound like my two-year-old cousin.
And after that, I could use your eyes on something new.
Something new? Another music video audition.
I just got the choreo from JJ.
Another audition? Don't you think that's a little much with the end-of-the-year show? [scoffs.]
I can handle it.
I thought things were better at home, now that your dad's back at work.
They are.
So? So, do you really need to do another music video? Look at this morning, one late shoot and you overslept.
It won't happen again.
Well, if you're not gonna give up music videos, then maybe you need to audition for an easier role in the Seasons, like Autumn Leaf? [sneers.]
Seriously? You heard Ms.
Helsweel.
I'm the Grade 10 dance captain.
She expects more from me.
I expect more from me and I've let her down enough this semester.
Need I remind you, I was partially responsible for the Primas getting disbanded? I need this win right now, V.
This "win-d," if you catch my drift.
Wow, you're exhausted.
You need to take a break.
Double the dancing equals double the risk of injury.
Take it from the girl with the crutch.
You can't risk this.
I hear you.
Trust me, I do.
But this is different.
I've never been in better shape.
That can change in a heartbeat.
That's hip-hop, baby! Boom-bap-dan-da-da! That's Sloane's motto.
When things get crazy, "That's hip-hop, baby!" If you keep up with this pace, you're gonna hip-hurt yourself.
I won't, I promise.
This is where we'll stage the kiss.
Everyone got it? Singy, singy, singy, zoomy, zoomy zoomy, kissy, kissy, kissy.
We have to change roles.
You have to do the kiss.
- Well, that might be kinda weird.
- Why? She's going to love this! Because ta-da! Are you done? You want Aidan to watch me kiss a random guy? No, silly, Aidan is the random guy.
Hey, I got ice cream.
He's your boyfriend and an actor.
It's perfect! Yeah.
Except for one tiny detail.
I've never kissed Aidan before.
It's not that I don't want to.
I really want to, it's just - This is gonna look so great on your reel.
- [Scarlett.]
So great.
So great.
I'm so excited we're doing this.
Aidan, you're a bit shiny.
Go find hair and make-up.
[Aidan chuckles.]
I get it.
Kissing on camera? Been there, done that.
Well, for those people watching, it's the opposite of romantic.
I'm so relieved you understand.
So, what are we gonna do? Just focus on you and your adorable boyfriend.
Just like any other time you're kissing.
All right, people, we are losing the sun.
Let's go! Let's go! How do I look? Hmm.
Shine-free! Another tiny detail.
I've never kissed anyone before.
Romance is in the air.
I got frame.
Roll playback, action! ["Kiss, Kiss" playing.]
Oh, oh, oh, oh Why do grownups always tell us We're young for this? They should be comforted By our confidence That we can do whatever we want And you can come along I would fight for you If you want me to Ooh Daddy told me I could be a superstar This is it.
It's happening.
If I can stay Okay.
I guess that's a wrap on romance.
[Bianca.]
What was that? Reset, people, back to ones.
Let's try that kiss again.
I can't.
I'm still shooting for the sun Mr.
Park is wrong.
I've grown as an artist.
And Jax will agree.
With the broken gun [cell phone chimes.]
You better run, run, run, run, run [sighs.]
Well, what do you think? I gotta start charging for this.
Your voice sounded great, the lyrics are deep, and, uh, you're the best guitar player at Keaton, hands down.
But what do you think of this song, let's say, compared to my old stuff? Ah, definitely, this is Miles to a T.
Fits right in with "Dig Deep" and "Picnic Tables" So you agree with Mr.
Park? It's a cousin of my other songs? I'd even call it a brother.
[groans.]
You're not helping.
What? It's a great song.
Just don't overthink it.
I'm not.
It's Park.
He wants me to come up with a new sound.
I don't know how to do that.
Okay, um Try and look for some new inspiration.
Like what? Maybe you should switch things up.
Try sweet instead of salty.
Or trombone instead of guitar.
Hey, there you go.
That's fresh.
Ah, speaking of which, I really wanted to show you this new song that I've been working on.
It's been ["Four Seasons" playing.]
V's not wrong.
If I don't pace myself, I could get hurt.
So I'm focusing on my Seasons audition School comes first.
But, ugh, I'd really rather be practicing my hip-hop audition.
[door opening.]
[Julie.]
Gorgeous bridge, Carly.
- You're looking for me? - Julie, great.
[music stops.]
That's the last of what I owe you.
Does this mean? I got a job as a backup dancer in a music video and my dad's back to work.
So things are looking up all around.
- You sound really excited about that.
- I am.
I am.
It's just now I have to choose.
Get a great role at the end of your dance show or keep doing music videos.
- Why does it have to be one or the other? - Some people think it's too much That I can't handle it.
Who thinks? People or you? I don't know.
People.
Me.
- V.
- Ah.
She's right.
I can't do it all without compromising something else.
I don't wanna let my school work slip and I definitely don't wanna get hurt.
But you don't wanna miss out on an amazing opportunity either.
Exactly.
All year, people told me I couldn't do art and dance.
But right now, I'm doing both, and I've never been happier.
- Because you're doing what you love.
- Exactly.
Only you know what you're capable of, Carly.
Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
Thanks, Julie.
I needed to hear that.
Anytime, chica.
[hip-hop music playing.]
Get it Don't look at me.
[Bianca scoffs.]
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
It was one weird kiss.
No, not one weird kiss.
Our first weird kiss.
- My first.
- Your first any kiss? Yes, okay.
I, "Scarlett the Starlet," have never been kissed.
Make fun.
You're not gonna laugh? Make some Drew Barrymore joke? Look, I'm the last person that's going to judge you.
My first kiss was on camera and it was awkward.
Two words.
"Prop.
Braces.
" It's not that I don't wanna kiss Aidan, I do.
I really, really do.
It's just But you're thinking about all the things that could go wrong.
What if I'm terrible at it? What if he's terrible at it? What if my breath smells? What if his? It's true.
Kissing can be scary.
Even if it's not the first time.
But it's also magical.
When it's with the right person.
Is Aidan the right person? One hundred percent.
Then talk to him.
If he's worth it, he'll be cool with it.
Well, what if he's not? My mother is a casting director.
We'll destroy his acting career before he even stands a chance.
- [chuckles.]
- Two more words.
"Laxative.
Commercial.
" [both chuckling.]
What about our video? Lucky for you, Bianca Blackwell always has a backup plan.
You do? [playing scales.]
[honks.]
[rapid drumming.]
[blurts.]
This is just noise.
It sounds like a goat is playing a tuba in here.
I know, it's terrible.
[giggles.]
But why is it happening? Mr.
Park doesn't like my sound anymore.
He wants to hear something different.
There was a lot of "different" happening just then.
Um, maybe try to I'm trying! I'm trying everything I know and it's all garbage.
[sighs.]
Maybe I should just stick to what I'm good at.
Safe pop songs on safe guitar.
Stay in my comfort zone.
- [laughs.]
- Really? You're laughing at me right now.
What's funny? You, all worked up like this? This is what you should be feeling.
[rattles.]
Like I wanna throw something? Getting out of your comfort zone means being uncomfortable.
That's the whole point.
Thanks, Alya.
Good talk.
See? You're uncomfortable.
The only way to get to the good stuff is to push through this.
Keep going.
You never know.
Under all that noise might be something spectacular.
[clangs.]
["Kiss Kiss" playing.]
Something when you miss Miss having you close I can only reminisce Your lips on my lips Is this all that there is? Oh, oh, oh Told you I could get it.
[Bianca chuckles.]
Thanks for changing the concept, B.
Who needs high concept with faces like these? [chuckles.]
Plus, now we won't have to waste any time in editing.
Which means posted! [chuckles.]
Now all of our fans can see our video instantly.
Everyone wins.
Not everyone.
You got this, girl.
[sighs.]
[door opens.]
Looks like Carly made a choice.
I know it was tough but doing it all would be impossible.
Picking just one thing would be impossible.
I've been practicing nonstop for this and my hip-hop audition.
It's a lot.
But it's worth it.
I can handle it.
[Helsweel.]
Everyone, to the floor.
If you want to be Wind, I pray of you, blow me away.
["Four Seasons" playing.]
That's strange.
It's not like Carly to miss her cue.
Carly is out cold.
[giggles.]
Sorry.
It's not funny.
[chuckles.]
[music stops.]
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You missed your cue, Ms.
Catto.
Very well.
We all know who won't be getting the lead.
- Oh, Ms.
Helsweel, I'm so sorry.
- Don't apologize.
- In fact, you've inspired me.
- I have? I'm creating a new role in your honor.
"Hibernation.
" [laughter.]
This is really rough, sir.
I I haven't touched some of these instruments since elementary school.
Miles, it's okay.
You have my permission to fail.
Go ahead.
I pushed through and I came up with something interesting.
I think.
Stormy weather Get it together Things are grounded Got me surrounded by the ghost of you Like a cocoon Surrounded by the ghost of you Surrounded like a cocoon And I know why it's like a fire Take my hand and close your eyes It isn't yours to wonder why You can only try To get by the ghost of you Break out of your cocoon You can only try To get by the ghost of you I know.
I told you, it's rough, sir.
Um Miles, stop.
Stop apologizing.
Sorry.
Was that song imperfect? Sure.
Was it raw? Maybe.
But But? But you came up with something really cool here.
- I can't wait to see where it goes.
- Me, too.
[both.]
I'm sorry.
Please, let me go first.
Um, okay.
Sorry I haven't kissed you yet.
I've been waiting for the right moment.
And when Bianca asked me to be in your video I figured that it was your way of telling me to make my move.
Wait a second.
Aidan is nervous? And I know I should have said something, but Aidan, it's okay.
The music video was Bianca's idea.
And it came as a surprise to me, too.
So you're not mad at me? - Not even a little.
- [Aidan sighs.]
I've been feeling the exact same way.
I just want the moment to be perfect, you know? I do.
But that's silly.
'Cause every moment I spend with you is perfect.
This is it.
Countdown to Kisstown, in three, two [Bianca.]
Scarlett! One.
Talk about rip-off.
- [Bianca chuckles.]
- Not now, Bianca! You are not going to believe this! - Is she still here? - Yeah.
Our video has 5,311 no, 12, views.
What? That's impossible.
It's possible.
See for yourself.
You know, this is a game changer, right? [both chuckling.]
Kiss, kiss, wrapped up in the bliss Something when you miss Miss having you close I can only reminisce Your lips on my lips Is this all that there is All that's left of our kiss? Left of our kiss, kiss, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh

" It's not that I don't wanna kiss Aidan, I do.
I really, really do.
It's just But you're thinking about all the things that could go wrong.
What if I'm terrible at it? What if he's terrible at it? What if my breath smells? What if his? It's true.
Kissing can be scary.
Even if it's not the first time.
But it's also magical.
When it's with the right person.
Is Aidan the right person? One hundred percent.
Then talk to him.
If he's worth it, he'll be cool with it.
Well, what if he's not? My mother is a casting director.
We'll destroy his acting career before he even stands a chance.
- [chuckles.]
- Two more words.
"Laxative.
Commercial.
" [both chuckling.]
What about our video? Lucky for you, Bianca Blackwell always has a backup plan.
You do? [playing scales.]
[honks.]
[rapid drumming.]
[blurts.]
This is just noise.
It sounds like a goat is playing a tuba in here.
I know, it's terrible.
[giggles.]
But why is it happening? Mr.
Park doesn't like my sound anymore.
He wants to hear something different.
There was a lot of "different" happening just then.
Um, maybe try to I'm trying! I'm trying everything I know and it's all garbage.
[sighs.]
Maybe I should just stick to what I'm good at.
Safe pop songs on safe guitar.
Stay in my comfort zone.
- [laughs.]
- Really? You're laughing at me right now.
What's funny? You, all worked up like this? This is what you should be feeling.
[rattles.]
Like I wanna throw something? Getting out of your comfort zone means being uncomfortable.
That's the whole point.
Thanks, Alya.
Good talk.
See? You're uncomfortable.
The only way to get to the good stuff is to push through this.
Keep going.
You never know.
Under all that noise might be something spectacular.
[clangs.]
["Kiss Kiss" playing.]
Something when you miss Miss having you close I can only reminisce Your lips on my lips Is this all that there is? Oh, oh, oh Told you I could get it.
[Bianca chuckles.]
Thanks for changing the concept, B.
Who needs high concept with faces like these? [chuckles.]
Plus, now we won't have to waste any time in editing.
Which means posted! [chuckles.]
Now all of our fans can see our video instantly.
Everyone wins.
Not everyone.
You got this, girl.
[sighs.]
[door opens.]
Looks like Carly made a choice.
I know it was tough but doing it all would be impossible.
Picking just one thing would be impossible.
I've been practicing nonstop for this and my hip-hop audition.
It's a lot.
But it's worth it.
I can handle it.
[Helsweel.]
Everyone, to the floor.
If you want to be Wind, I pray of you, blow me away.
["Four Seasons" playing.]
That's strange.
It's not like Carly to miss her cue.
Carly is out cold.
[giggles.]
Sorry.
It's not funny.
[chuckles.]
[music stops.]
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You missed your cue, Ms.
Catto.
Very well.
We all know who won't be getting the lead.
- Oh, Ms.
Helsweel, I'm so sorry.
- Don't apologize.
- In fact, you've inspired me.
- I have? I'm creating a new role in your honor.
"Hibernation.
" [laughter.]
This is really rough, sir.
I I haven't touched some of these instruments since elementary school.
Miles, it's okay.
You have my permission to fail.
Go ahead.
I pushed through and I came up with something interesting.
I think.
Stormy weather Get it together Things are grounded Got me surrounded by the ghost of you Like a cocoon Surrounded by the ghost of you Surrounded like a cocoon And I know why it's like a fire Take my hand and close your eyes It isn't yours to wonder why You can only try To get by the ghost of you Break out of your cocoon You can only try To get by the ghost of you I know.
I told you, it's rough, sir.
Um Miles, stop.
Stop apologizing.
Sorry.
Was that song imperfect? Sure.
Was it raw? Maybe.
But But? But you came up with something really cool here.
- I can't wait to see where it goes.
- Me, too.
[both.]
I'm sorry.
Please, let me go first.
Um, okay.
Sorry I haven't kissed you yet.
I've been waiting for the right moment.
And when Bianca asked me to be in your video I figured that it was your way of telling me to make my move.
Wait a second.
Aidan is nervous? And I know I should have said something, but Aidan, it's okay.
The music video was Bianca's idea.
And it came as a surprise to me, too.
So you're not mad at me? - Not even a little.
- [Aidan sighs.]
I've been feeling the exact same way.
I just want the moment to be perfect, you know? I do.
But that's silly.
'Cause every moment I spend with you is perfect.
This is it.
Countdown to Kisstown, in three, two [Bianca.]
Scarlett! One.
Talk about rip-off.
- [Bianca chuckles.]
- Not now, Bianca! You are not going to believe this! - Is she still here? - Yeah.
Our video has 5,311 no, 12, views.
What? That's impossible.
It's possible.
See for yourself.
You know, this is a game changer, right? [both chuckling.]
Kiss, kiss, wrapped up in the bliss Something when you miss Miss having you close I can only reminisce Your lips on my lips Is this all that there is All that's left of our kiss? Left of our kiss, kiss, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
