3x10 - Cheat It

At the red carpet of the annual teen scene awards, Nancy O'Dell is reporting live.

NANCY
Welcome back everybody to the fifteenth annual teen scene awards, I'm Nancy O'Dell and get ready for a major sugar rush ... because two of my favorite pieces of eye candy have just come down the red carpet. I am talking about the incredible Hannah Montana and her new beau country rocker Austin Rain, good to see you!

Hand in hand Hannah Montana and Austin are standing beside her.

HANNAH
Hey Nancy!

AUSTIN
Yhoa! Nanno! What up?

NANCY
You're a duet Us without You is on the hot one hundred charts and speaking of hot ... how's that little romance going? And of course you can tell me they ... are not listening right.

HANNAH
Well ... it's so easy singing a love song with the incredible hunk over here ... (pounces on him)

AUSTIN
Oh chucks! Hey this little chili filli here could make anyone look good. Check it. (steps away from Hannah) I'm a regular hunky guy -- (embraces Hannah) incredibly hunky guy!

HANNAH
Oh you! No ... us!

AUSTIN
Oh ... by Nance!

The two walk off embraced in each other.

NANCY
Oh are they not just as cute as newborn puppies! I love them!

As Hannah and Mark are away from the paparazzi crowds Hannah releases herself from him.

MARK
You were supposed to stand on my left so I could show off my better side!

HANNAH
Oh you want to show off your better side! Well you could just put a bag over your head and let your liney go all whiney.

MARK
You make me want to hurl!

HANNAH
Oh great! Aim for my eyes so I don't have to look at you!

Two photographer approach them.

PHOTOGRAPHER
Hannah Austin! Over here!

The two strut a romantic pose.

***

At school Miley and Lily are standing in the locker hallway looking at a magazine with a photo of Hannah and Mark captured on the front. Miley takes the chewing gum from her mouth and sticks it all over Mark's face.

LILY
How much longer do you have to fake date this incredibly yummy ... (Miley stares at her) dummy! Yummy gummy dummy! More gummy dummy than yummy!

MILEY
Well the publicity people want me to stay with him until the record goes double platinum but I hate the guy so much I might just buy a million copies of myself just to end the torture!

LILY
If this is torture bring on the pain! You poor thing.

The school bell rings.

LILY
Gotta go bye! (Handing the magazine to Miley she walks away in a hurry - she then turns back and grabs the magazine as she walks off again)

As Lily and the crowds are gone Miley opens her locker and puts her bag away. As she walks away she sees Jackson standing in a corner dealing secretively with someone.

MILEY
Jackson?

The stranger walks away and Jackson hides the piece of paper behind his back.

JACKSON
Hey ... Miley. You go here? We should totally carpool! See you!

As he attempts to walk off Miley blocks his way.

MILEY
Why were you giving that guy money?

JACKSON
What guy? There's no guy! I don't see any guy. Is that a new outfit? I love what it does for your eyes! Bye!

As he turns away Miley steals the piece of paper from behind his back and opens it up.

MILEY
These look like test answers.

JACKSON
(squeaky voice) What! No! They aren't test answers this is a ... (takes paper from her) it's a ... it's a ... treasure map. It's a secret treasure map! (folds the paper up) Sshh!

MILEY
(snatching paper from him) What's the treasure Captain Crook? An A on your history test?

JACKSON
Yeah like Mr. Meadows would ever believe I get an A. I'm not that stupid. I'm going for a B Plus!

MILEY
No! (starts running) No I am not going to let you do this! You know what if you cheat you're going to get expelled ... you'll never get a job ... and by the time that Daddy's in that little coot home you'll be begging to live me but I won't let you because I won't want a cheat hanging around my little Rance Junior!

JACKSON
Rance?

MILEY
In my dreams I marry a Rance, K! This is why you cannot cheat.

Jackson snatches the paper from her.

JACKSON
Watch me! I'm not throwing one hundred bucks down the toilet!

MILEY
Ohhh... good idea! (Miley snatches the paper from him and races into the girls bathroom. Jackson follows after her but bumps into a teacher)

MRS SCHABLANSKY
Where do you think you're going Mr. Stewart?

JACKSON
Oh the dress means it's the girls room! (the two start walking down the corridor together) Principals office?

MRS SCHABLANSKY
Yeah.

JACKSON
I know the way.

Jackson is in the Stewart kitchen when Miley struts in from the front door with attitude.

MILEY
We have some unfinished business mister! You ever try to cheat again just remember this ... I have my eyes on you!

JACKSON
Don't worry Miles I'm not going to cheat.

MILEY
I don't want to hear any of your ... (????) say what?

JACKSON
I should've never bought those answers. Cheating is stupid. And if I want to get a good grade I'm just gonna have to study for it.

MILEY
But ... no fair! I had more speech! I had the scolding finger waggle ... the righteous fist thump and then ... the disapproving (???) neck.

Miley moves her neck around in a circular fashion.

JACKSON
And I would've deserved it all. Seriously Miles. Thanks for being there for me.

As Jackson turns back to his papers Miley begins pacing suspiciously around him. Finally she gives him a hug from behind.

MILEY
I'm just so proud of you! And it feels so much better knowing that I didn't block up the only girls toilet that works for nothing.

Jeff the guy who sold Jackson the cheating papers walks in.

JEFF
Dude try not to lose this one!

Jackson frees himself from Miley and confronts him at the door.

JACKSON
Hey ... Jeff! I think you have the wrong house. (whispering as he is closer) What part of live it at Rico's didn't you get?

JEFF
Do you want it or not?

JACKSON
(peering over at Miley) No sir! I do not! Good day! I said good day! (beginning to close the door on him) Leave it in the mail box!

JEFF
What?

JACKSON
In the mailbox!

JEFF
What!

JACKSON
Leave it in the mailbox!

Jackson slams the door on him and turns back to Miley.

JACKSON
Can you believe that guy? (pause) Hey I think I'm gonna go check the mail!

MILEY
Alright now I see why you thought you had to cheat! You're unbelievably (???) day.

JACKSON
What?

MILEY
(????)

JACKSON
Excuse me?

MILEY
You are stupid!

JACKSON
Look it's just one test why do you care if I cheat anyway?

MILEY
Because I care about you! I don't why. I don't like it.

JACKSON
Look you just don't understand. This is my toughest class and if I don't get my average I'm not going to be able to go away to College ... and get away from you!

MILEY
And you think I don't want that? But you know how dishonest this is your cheating!

JACKSON
Really! Maybe we can have a discussion about dishonesty after your next fake date with that jerk who you're trying to pass off to the whole world as your boyfriend!

MILEY
(long gasp) That is not the same thing!

JACKSON
Yes it is! I'm doing whatever it takes to get into College ... you're doing whatever it takes to sell albums!

MILEY
(lost for words) But I ....

JACKSON
Don't have an answer? Well maybe you can buy one from Jeff. Not so (????) day now am I!

***

Later on Robby is in the kitchen vacuuming.

ROBBY
(singing) I vacuum the house! Dust it to shape! I'm mopping the floor I've got to get me a maid ... single dad ... sore ... my aching bones can't take no more! Whoaaa! Thank you Malibu!

He retires to the couch leg aching. He switches on the television.

ADVERTISEMENT VOICE (V/O)
Do you feel overworked and under-appreciated?

ROBBY
Yes I do!

ADVERTISEMENT VOICE (V/O)
Do you make silly old people noises when you settle into a couch?

ROBBY
No. (makes a grunting noise as a muscle breaks) Yeah.

The TV shows an old man sitting down in a sauna.

ADVERTISEMENT VOICE (V/O)
Well melt the years away with the healing powers of Senor Steam! (the sauna fills with steam and a strong young man steps out) Call today and let Senor Steamy recapture the dream!

ROBBY
Nice try but I'm not wasting my money on that garbage!

ADVERTISEMENT VOICE (V/O)
Act now and receive a complimentary Senor Steam hair (????). (Robby begins rubbing his hair) Used by hair models around the world.

ROBBY
(dialing number in phone) Well I guess one little informational phone call wouldn't hurt!

***

Robby is sitting on the couch reading the newspaper as the doorbell rings several times. Looking at his watch he gets up to answer the door.

ROBBY
Right on time Senor Steam!

Robby answers the door to reveal Rico standing at the doorstep dressed up.

RICO
Heyo!

ROBBY
You got to be kidding me!

RICO
No! I am Senor Steam. My dad bought me the company on my tenth birthday. I wanted an airline ... but no! That would spoil it.

ROBBY
I hate to say it but that little voice inside my head is telling me to close this door just as quick as I can! (he attempts to slam the door but Rico holds out his foot. Rico walks in)

RICO
Well is this the same place that told you to wear those jeans today? It ain't doing you any favors!

ROBBY
Hey Rico no offense but I'm a bit more comfortable doing business with your Dad.

RICO
Fine. Then you won't get the thirty percent friends and family discount.

ROBBY
I'm sorry but I'm not ...

RICO
Thirty five percent!

ROBBY
It's not about the money.

RICO
Forty and I'll be nice to your son at the shack.

ROBBY
Forty five and I don't care how you treat him.

They shake hands on it.

***

Humming to himself dressed in a dressing robe he walks through the fitness room and into the sauna.

SAUNA VOICE (V/O)
Welcome ... Robby Stewart. To the Senor Steam five thousand. We look forward to providing you and the ... Robby Stewart ... family with years of blissful blissful relaxation.

As the steam starts to emerge there is a clog up. Robby unhappily gets up from his happy place.

ROBBY
Dang flab it! (he kicks it)

The devious voice of Rico can be heard from the speaker.

RICO (V/O)
No refunds or returns.

***

Hannah and Austin are performing their hit together on a talk show.

COLIN
Adorable! Now we'll be back with America's newest sweethearts right after I call my wife and tell her I love her.

Colin walks off with his phone.

STAGEHAND (V/O)
And we're out!

Violently Hannah and Austin release themselves from each other.

AUSTIN
Try a breath mint next time!

HANNAH
What? You don't like stinky cheese breath! (she purposely blows her breath against him)

Hannah walks over to Lola backstage who is holding out a breath sprayer.

LOLA
Open!

Hannah opens her mouth as she approaches Lola and Lola sprays.

LOLA
Look I know he's a jerk but that song is so darn romantic!

HANNAH
I know but I was just thinking about Jackson the whole time.

LOLA
Wow that's a little weird.

HANNAH
I was talking about his cheating! Every time I tell him it's wrong he's like "you're doing the same thing with your bogus boyfriend"

LOLA
Well that's ridiculous.

HANNAH
Thank you!

LOLA
I mean Jackson's only really cheating himself. I mean ... you're lying to the entire world.

HANNAH
I liked you a whole lot more five seconds ago.

LOLA
Look I'm sorry but Jackson's got a point. I mean it's hard to take advice from someone who says one thing and does another.

HANNAH
You know what that is .... totally true! You know what you're little life lessons are getting really annoying.

Lola walks away as Hannah walks back over to the stage desk beside Austin and Collin. Colin is still chatting on the phone to his wife.

COLIN
Honey I can't say that right now! (glances at Hannah) (turns away singing) Alright fine. You're super hot you're super girl you're the girl I like a lot. You're super super wife you're super super ... I gotta go. (he hangs up and turns back to Hannah and Austin) And we're back with my favorite cutie and the lucky guy who gets to call him his 'babe'.

AUSTIN
Oh I sure am lucky Colin!

COLIN
(to Hannah) You feel the same way to don't you!

HANNAH
Colin. Words cannot describe how I feel.

COLIN
Sure they can that's what words do! So babble away and tell us the honest truth. When you look at this (???) how do you really feel?

HANNAH
Well actually Colin. I feel (releases herself from his arms) appalled! Barfy! Creeped out! Disgusted!

AUSTIN
(reattaches himself) Hannah! Baby! What are you doing?

HANNAH [releasing herself again]
Put a cork in it I'm only (???) to eat. Embarrassed. Freaked. Gaggy.

COLIN
Horrified.

HANNAH
Exactly.

COLIN
No no! I'm horrified. What happen to the love?

HANNAH
I'll tell you what happened to it. The publicity people only made us pretend that we like each other to sell our record.

AUSTIN
(covering her mouth) Millions and millions of records you little goofball you. (she bites him) She bit me! You know what! I don't need you. Alright. I'm hot! And I sing great. (???)

In style he exits flashing off his jacket.

HANNAH
Keep on walking Austin Rein! Real name ... Albert Neatermeyer!

AUSTIN (From backstage)
Hey! That's supposed to be secret!

HANNAH
Not anymore! (to Colin) Don't you just love having me on your show?

In the Stewart living room Miley and Jackson are sitting watching the talk show episode -- and Miley happily switches it off at this point.

JACKSON
Wow. I guess if you've got the guts to be that honest then I should have the guts not to cheat. (he takes the answer sheet and rips it up)

MILEY
(holding up her hand for a high five) Wait a go bro give me some!

As they shake hands Miley notices black felt pin writing on Jackson's arm.

MILEY
What is that?

JACKSON
Nothing.

MILEY
You wrote the test answers on your arms didn't you!

JACKSON
No I did not!

Miley pulls up his arm to reveal writing.

JACKSON
That's a ... weird looking rash.

***

MILEY
I cannot believe you'd still cheat after what I did for you!

JACKSON
Hey I didn't ask you to do that!

MILEY
Yeah I should've gone straight to Dad. But no! Trying to convince you to be honest is like trying to convince Uncle Earl skinny jeans do not make him look skinny IF you're fat!

Miley begins to walk up the stairs.

JACKSON
You're not going to go to Dad.

MILEY
Watch me.

JACKSON
You really want to go down that road?

MILEY
Absolutely. (she walks up the stairs then turns back) What road! And exactly why wouldn't I want to go down it?

JACKSON
Oh you know the road that starts with you telling Dad this about me and ends with me telling Dad everything I know about you.

MILEY
(fake laughter) OK when you say everything.

JACKSON
Everything. Past ... Present ... and future.

MILEY
Future! What kind of brother are you!

JACKSON
I guess you could consider me a traitor. Much like ... (reads from arm) Benedikt Arnold who in 1879 gave away (???) (reads from leg) to the British!

He walks off.

***

Robby is impatiently listening to Rico's voice on the phone.

RICO (V/O)
Hello and welcome to Senor Steam! If you wish to continue with our automated helpline ... press one. (Robby presses one) You pressed one! If this is correct press one!

Violently he presses one again.

ROBBY
Just get on with it!

RICO (V/O)
If you're experiencing warping in your your seater seat press one. If you're experiencing splintering in your seater seat press two. If you're experiencing dry rot in your seater seat press three.

***

By now Robby is leaning against the door to the room banging his head on the door listening to Rico's voice.

RICO (V/O)
If you're experiencing (?????) coming from your seater seat press sixty-seven!

ROBBY
I'm going to be sixty-seven before this is over!

***

He is now balancing himself on the Swiss Ball.

RICO (V/O)
For lack of steam press ninety.

ROBBY
Finally!

He dials in ninety.

RICO (V/O)
Thank you for your patience. An operator will be with you momentarily.

ROBBY
Hallelujah!

RICO (V/O)
You're estimated wait time is just three days ...

ROBBY
Three days! Three days my Aunt Bertha's backside!

He storms out.

***

He walks back in with Rico pushed in front.

ROBBY
Rico I want this thing fixed and I want it fixed now!

RICO
Alright alright! Did you try hitting the reset button?

ROBBY
What.

RICO
The reset button. It's in big red letters. On page one of your manual. (Robby looks annoyed) You read the manual right!

ROBBY
Of course I did. And I pressed the reset button ... (walks over to key pad; unsure of which button to push down) reset ... reset ... reset ....

RICO
Reset button.

Rico walks over and pushes down the reset button.

ROBBY
Oh that reset button. I must've pressed the other one.

RICO
There is no other one.

ROBBY
(softly) Leave me my pride.

RICO
What?

ROBBY
(loudly) Leave me my pride boy!

Robby walks back into the sauna room without another word.

***

The following morning Jackson is sitting in the kitchen having breakfast as Robby comes down.

ROBBY
Hey I'm just going for a quick jog. Good luck on your test.

JACKSON
What do you mean by that!

ROBBY
Nothing I'm just saying good luck.

JACKSON
Oh ... thanks.

ROBBY
You got everything covered?

JACKSON
What do you mean by that!

ROBBY
Wow son take it easy. I can see you're stressed but everything will be fine.

JACKSON
I know!

ROBBY
Well urh ... bye.

JACKSON
Bye!

Robby jogs out the door.

JACKSON
[As Robby is gone] It's so hot in here! (he rolls up his sleeves) No sweating no smudging! No sweating no smudging!

Miley walks down.

MILEY
Looseinig up some cheating skin or writing down more cheaty answers Floppy McCheater Pants.

JACKSON
Look Miley. I'm not proud of this but ... I can't risk not getting into College. I gotta go I don't want to be late for that test ... (he walks towards the door)

MILEY
Jackson ...

JACKSON
Where are my keys!

The two look over and see Jackson's keys sitting on the coffee table. They fight over each other to reach for them and Miley ends up with them.

JACKSON
Hey give me those keys!

MILEY
(deep gasp) I don't think so.

Jackson chases Miley upstairs as Lily enters through the front door.

LILY
Miley! Are you ready for school?

She looks over and sees Miley falling out the upstairs window and down outside the kitchen window. Miley runs in with Jackson's keys giggling deviously. As she reaches the kitchen bench Jackson also falls down.

JACKSON (Through the window)
Miley stop running! No sweating no sweating no sweating!

MILEY
Quick Lily! I've got a plan and need backup! (she starts to run upstairs)

LILY
[dropping her school bag] Of course you do. (follows after Miley) Why is never "sit down have some breakfast"?

As they have gone Jackson frantically runs in after them.

JACKSON
No sweating! No smudging! No sweating! No smudging! Oh great. There goes the Nineteenth Amendment! Thanks to you women are losing the right to vote!

He runs up the stairs.

Miley and Lily walk into the fitness room upstairs.

MILEY
Now when Jackson comes in close the door.

LILY
Would it kill you to throw in a please once in a while!

MILEY
Please.

LILY
Thank you.

Miley walks into the sauna room and Lily holds the door open as Jackson walks in.

JACKSON
Right where is she!

LILY
Not in there!

JACKSON
Man you're dumb!

As Jackson walks into the sauna Lily closes the door after him.

LILY
Not as dumb as you.

Miley is standing in the sauna room waiting for him.

JACKSON
Give me my keys now!

MILEY
OK!

Miley chucks his keys back and they land on the steam machine.

JACKSON
Well that was easy.

As he reaches for the keys he realizes he has been set up.

MILEY
Hit it Lily!

LILY
Hit what?

MILEY
The green button!

LILY
The green button what?

MILEY
The green button please.

LILY
Thank you!

Lily does as she is instructed and steam begins to engulf the room.

JACKSON
Oh now I'm getting out of here!

MILEY
To late! Lily locked the door. (to Lily) Kick it up!

Lily gives her a stern look.

MILEY
(impatiently) Please!

LILY
Thank you!

She does as she is told once again and by now Miley and Jackson are sweating terribly.

MILEY
It's getting hot in here. Are you working up a sweat yet?

JACKSON
No! No! My answers! (whimpering to the ground) They're melting! They're melting!

MILEY
Look. I can see you're upset. But at least now whatever grade you get on your test you know you deserve it.

He and Miley take a seat on the bench.

MILEY
Jackson.

JACKSON
Now how am I supposed to know the Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 overturned Plessy v. Ferguson? Or in 1919 the Treaty of Versailles ended the World War I? Or the FDR's New Deal created the whole bunch of programs we still use today?

MILEY
Jackson! SEOP!

JACKSON
It was all right here! And now it's all ... (points to his head) Up here! How did that happen?

MILEY
Well. Looks like writing all the answers on your body was kinda like studying.

JACKSON
I studied? Yeah! I studied! Hey look! I think I'm going to ace this test! Or ... at least B-ce it.

MILEY
Yes you can. And?

JACKSON
It feels really good to be prepared.

MILEY
Yes. And?

JACKSON
You look like a raccoon at a water park?

MILEY
You'll pay for that later. And ...

JACKSON
Thanks.

MILEY
You're welcome.

The two share a hug.

JACKSON
OK Lily you can unlock the door now!

MILEY
There's no locks in this steam room that would be totally dangerous! Dargh!

Miley opens the door.

JACKSON
You.

MILEY
I learnt from the best.

Robby walks into the fitness room to meet Lily.

ROBBY
Lily. What are you doing up here?

LILY
Argh ... nothing. Just looking for Miley.

Both a sweated mess Jackson and Miley walk through the fitness room waving at their father.

LILY
Hey look! There she is always the last place you look.

MILEY
What's up Dad?

JACKSON
Hey pop.

They walk out leaving Robby and Lily.

ROBBY
Do I want to know?

LILY
No not really.

Lily walks out after Jackson and Miley.

ROBBY
Argh ... (he turns back to the sauna) You're probably right.

***

Robby is sitting in the sauna room on the phone to his mother.

ROBBY
Yeah ma. Yeah I'm telling you this Senor Steam is the best investment I ever made. When I get in here it's like I'm the only person in the whole wide world. All those little things that tend to drive my crazy just disappear!

Rico enters.

RICO
Heyo!

ROBBY
Rico. What are you doing here!

RICO
We came for the steam.

ROBBY
Meaning?

RICO
You went for the friends and family discount.

ROBBY
Yeah.

RICO
You don't think that meant your friends and family did you? Come on in everybody! The steam is great!

A crowd of Rico's family come hurdling in and congregate around the steamer.

ROBBY
(on phone) Well mom you know what they say. Desperate times call for desperate matters.

Robby lowers the phone from his ear and a popping noise is heard. Robby has farted! Rico and his family can't race out of the sauna quick enough.

ROBBY
[raising phone to ears] Like I said mom I'm loving the steam room!

3x09 - Papa's Got a Brand New Friend

At a dance studio Hannah along with Lola and her back up dancers are doing some moves on the dance floor. Hannah is in the centre.

DANCERS
Go Hannah go Hannah! Go Hannah go Hannah!

Hannah high fives at dancer Brian to take her spot - he does some moves in the centre.

DANCERS
Go Brian! Go Brian! Go Brian! Go Brian!

Lola pushes him aside and does some moves of her own; much to the dislike of the others in the room.

LOLA
Step off Brian because he comes Lola! Gonna make you look like a caffeinated cola! Yeah ... like Lola G... like ... (she notices they aren't wooing her) killing the mood ...

Hannah drags her away.

HANNAH / LOLA
Bye Lola! Bye Lola! Bye Lola!

Hannah's choreographer Tina walks in signaling for the DJ to cut the music.

TINA
Hey guys! Whoa sorry I'm late. I got into a tug of war with my dog over my sports bra.

Tina tries to drag her sports bra from her bag and they all see that the dog is attached to it.

LOLA
Oh ...

TINA
He won.

HANNAH
Ohhh! Adorable. Well while our famous choreographer was having a tug with the pug some of us were working hard.

LOLA
Yeah while you was with the hound we was getting down on the ground with the sound! (Tina and Hannah give her a look) Oh I thought we were still rhyming.

TINA
(to Hannah) So guess who you're falling at the grammies?

HANNAH
Just don't say Chris Brown and I'm good. (Tina looks guilty) Choreographer who says everything by saying nothing at all say what?

TINA
Don't freak OK. I got some ideas that are going to make Mr. Brown turn greener than a leprechaun logie! (she begins walking in style) Yeah you ready OK! You wanna see it? (walks into middle of room)

HANNAH
Yeah.

TINA
Alright. Hit it! (she dances around)

HANNAH
(applauding) I love it!

TINA
Come on let's try it.

HANNAH
Here we go ready!

TINA
Start down here.

Following a count off the two of them leap up into movement. As the routine finishes the two high five each other.

LOLA
Hey Tina I think somebody found a new chew toy.

Lola is referring to Tina's dog barking and chewing on the curtain.

TINA
Oh no! Bad dog!

HANNAH
Alright guys lets try a slide. Five six seven eight ...

As Hannah slides along she accidently bumps into Tina - who falls out the window.

TINA
Argh!

HANNAH
Tina!

LOLA
Oh no that's not good!

HANNAH
Tina! Are you alright!

TINA
(whining) Nooo!

HANNAH
Just ... just walk it off? OK ... crawling works to. Oh no! (they race out of the building)

At the Stewart household Robby is speaking on the phone in the living room with Tina; while Miley is pacing around behind him.

ROBBY
OK Tina. Well you get well soon. Oh so you have a unicorn flying around your room? I'm sure it's very pretty. Yeah. Oikey Dokey now. Alright you take care. Buh-bye. (he hangs up) Well the bad news is she's going to be out for about six months. Good news is ... she's got a unicorn.

MILEY
OK. This is OK. Just a little bump in the road. Sure she's ... in a full body cast ... but we can strap her up to those little luggage cart thingies and roll her right into rehearsals and everything would be O ...

ROBBY
Mile ... she's in-capacitated.

MILEY
Oh well let's just drive past capacitated and get her.

ROBBY
Good lord Miley I know you're desperate but this is Los Angeles there's a million choreographers out there. We'll find the right one.

MILEY
Oh yeah. Just because someone's to lazy to drive to capacitated! (Miley walks off up the stairs)

ROBBY
[as she is gone] I have got to get that girl a dictionary.

***
Outside Rico's Shack, Joannie and Oliver are doing a series of exercises. Oliver is sweating, while Joannie seems to be normal.

JOANNIE
And three! And two! And one!

They stand and stop excersing.

OLIVER
That's it? I barely broke a sweat.

JOANNIE
My little iron man!

OLIVER
We are going to kick but in the triathlon next month!

JOANNIE
We're going to dominate ... and enielate. Argh!! (the two growl at each other) I gotta go to the girls room.

OLIVER
OK I'll miss you.

As Joannie goes into the toilet, Oliver backs over to a seat around the counter at Rico's Shack and places his head on the counter. Jackson is on duty.

OLIVER
She's killing me!

JACKSON
Look out dude, she's back!

OLIVER
Feel the burn! (he loses balance on his seat and falls over; Jackson turns to a gaggle of girls behind them. Jackson was being sarcastic about Joannie's return)

JACKSON
People falling over ... always funny!

Oliver gets himself back up on the seat and rests his head on the counter.

OLIVER
You know I'd hate you but I just don't have the energy.

Jackson pushes the serviette holder underneath Oliver's head on the counter.

OLIVER
I have to end this. But if I break up with her, she'll break up every bone in my body.

JACKSON
Dude, you want my advice? Walk right up to her and tell her it's over. That's how to be a man.

A racket is heard from behind them and they turn to see that Joannie has harshly kicked open the toilet door.

JOANNIE
Stupid sticking door, arghhh!

JACKSON
... A dead man. But still a man.

Oliver goes to rest his head on the serviette holder again but Jackson pulls it away, shrugging.

Back at the dance studio, Robby and Hannah are sitting through auditions for the new choreographer Hannah requires. A choreographer of cultural differences starts hopping around as he speaks in a foregoing accent.

CHOREOGRAPHER
And then ... I saw Hannah doing this!

HANNAH
(softly) Next.

***
This time Hannah and Robby stare in disgust at a middle aged woman leaning off the chair in a super woman outfit mocking Hannah's super-girl song.

CHOREOGRAPHER 1
I'm super cool I'm super hot, I'm the girl you like a lot, I'm super, super girl!

ROBBY
I'm super super scared.

HANNAH
Next!

***
HANNAH
Dad! What am I going to do. The grammies are in two weeks and I still don't have a choreographer.

ROBBY
You know that super, super gal had some interesting ...

HANNAH
Dad!

At that moment, an African-American choreographer, Sean Nanah enters and wows Hannah and Robby with some break dancing moves. He takes off his hat and presents himself to them.

SEAN
Whoa!

HANNAH
Now 'zat' is what I am talking about. Nice to meet you, Mr ...

SEAN
Nanah. But you can call me Sean.

ROBBY
Your name is Sean Nanah?

SEAN
No. Nanah. From my nana's side. Nana Nina Nanah.

ROBBY
Maybe it's not to late to drive to capicitated.

Hannah opens Sean's resume and is amazed by what she reads.

HANNAH
Oh my gosh! You've choreographed for N'sync, Madonna and MC Hammer?

SEAN
Oh yeah, yeah. This. (does a dance move) Mine. This (does another move) Mine. Ah, hammer time, (does a dance move) not mine. But I like doing it.

HANNAH
You're Hired!

ROBBY
Now hold up their little missy. Listen. This is a big decision. You might want to ask him a bit more questions.

HANNAH
You're right. (to Sean) Hey so I've noticed you haven't been working for a few years. What you been doing?

SEAN
Ar, taking some little time off for myself. Mask fishing, horseback riding ... and touring the countryside and searching for the perfect peach pie.

ROBBY
You're hired!

HANNAH
What!

ROBBY
(pushes Hannah aside) Now tell me about hunting that pie.

***

Oliver comes running up from the beach to meet Jackson at Rico's Shack.

OLIVER
Jackson! Jackson. Listen. I figured it out. If I dump Joannie she kills me. But if she dumps me I stay alive. Problem is how do I make myself so horribly unattractive that she'd want to do that I mean come on! Look at me.

JACKSON
Alright. OK ... argh ... OK first I would just ar ... (Jackson indicates for Oliver to wave his hair back in a bizarre fashion) I suppose you could just ... with the ... (Oliver plays around with his face) Dude I'm sorry but if this hasn't driven her away then nothing will.

OLIVER
Jackson.

JACKSON
Alright look there's only one way to get rid of someone who's wacko enough to love all this. Let's go.

The two run off.

***

Later on that night Oliver and Jackson walk up from the beach to the area outside Rico's Shack. Oliver is dressed up in a bizarre foil outfit.

OLIVER
Do you really think that this is gonna work?

JACKSON
(???) We're dealing with the girl who blew off a door faster than Uncle Earl at the (???) County Burieto Fest. (he wiggles his stomach)

JOANNIE [Off screen calling] (V/O)
Oliver honey!

JACKSON
Quick give me your wallet!

OLIVER
Why?

JACKSON
Just in case you, you know don't make it. (calling) Over here Joannie!

Jackson flees off as Joannie walks up.

OLIVER
Jackson ...

JOANNIE
Ar ... Oliver?

OLIVER
Sshh! (embraces Joannie) I'm calling the mother-ship. (makes a siren noise with his lips) I know. I'm strange. Terribly undateable strange. I don't blame you if you want to break up with me.

JOANNIE
I could never do that. If you ... believe in aliens than I will to.

OLIVER
(fake) Oh that is so wonderfully ... unexpected.

JOANNIE
Well come on honey let's call them together.

OLIVER
OK.

JOANNIE
OK.

The two of them make the siren noise with their mouthes again.

***

At the dance studio Hannah's dancers are dancing away while she hammers in wood against the window to prevent anyone from falling out again.

HANNAH
Hey! You guys are going to love Sean. And this way I don't have to buy another sorry I shoved you out the window muffin basket. (she hammers a quick rhythm into the wood) Yeah that should get her done.

LOLA
(referring to the dance steps) Hey that was really cool how you guys did that what was that ... (as she shuttles back she trips over something) Feel free to use that if you want. (walks over to Hannah) So um where is Sean anyway?

HANNAH
Oh probably with Daddy. They've been guy bonding all weekend. Fishing and dogging. Right now they're probably riding motorcycles or something.

Just then Robby and Sean come riding in the studio both chasing each other on electric scooters.

ROBBY
Yeah doggies!

HANNAH
I did say or something.

SEAN
Oh man! I'll get you next time Double R.

ROBBY
Yeah in your dreams hotshot. (he and Sean high five each other)

SEAN
(turns to dancers) Well good-morning all. My name is Sean Nanah and I cannot wait to work with you all. It's going to be great!

HANNAH
(to Lola) Did you see that? Jazz hands!

ROBBY
Have fun bud!

HANNAH
Thanks Daddy!

ROBBY
I wasn't talking to you I was talking to Sean but you have fun to!

HANNAH
Daddy look. I'm real happy for you and your new bud but I'm just saying the whole scootering and matching helmets thing ... not really going to help the girlfriend situation.

ROBBY
Oh come on Darl you know I haven't had a good friend since Tennessee and it's just so much dang fun! Hey Seanster don't forget tonight Ribs ... and pie!

Robby scooters out.

SEAN
OK! I think we're ready to begin.

Lola walks over to Hannah as Sean speaks.

LOLA
Look's like you're dad's having another bro-mance.

HANNAH
Yeah but he deserves it and it's great he has someone as great as Sean.

SEAN
(shouting) WHO IS TALKING!

HANNAH
(nervously) Me ... I was just telling Lola that I think that ...

SEAN
Think that the world revolves around Hannah? Well guess what diva! When I'm working it's all about me-va!

DANCER 1
Yes!

DANCER 2
I don't think he's talking about you Meva.

LOLA
(as Sean turns away) I thought you said he was nice.

HANNAH
He was. Sean! I need to talk to you about ...

SEAN
Argh argh argh argh argh. First of all when we're in rehearsals' its Mr. Nanah. And second of all ... (turns to Lola) what are you?

LOLA
Oh I'm just a friend. Not a dancer.

SEAN
Oh. Well in that case ... stand in the corner!

LOLA
(sadly; walks to corner) OK ... (she walks to the corner and faces him)

SEAN
Other way!

LOLA
Eeep!

HANNAH
Sean! You've got to be kidding we always have fun in my rehearsals.

SEAN
You're rehearsals?

HANNAH
(corrects herself) Our rehearsals? (Sean looks at her) Mr. Nanah's rehearsals!

SEAN
Yeah. Alright now dancers! Drop and give me twenty!

They drop to the floor and do as he says.

DANCER 3
(to Hannah) You're right. I love him.

SEAN
Who's talking!

HANNAH
It was all him!

***

At the Community Hospital Hannah Montana is visiting Tina.

HANNAH
You know what. I was really expecting the worst but after seeing all the progress you've made that just shows what dancing and eating right will do for you!

But Tina is attached to a full body cast on the bed.

HANNAH
So! What do you say we get you on your feet and onto the dance studio! Come on! (Hannah tugs at Tina's arm)

TINA
(resisting) Let .. go ... of ... me.

HANNAH
I can't work with him. He's breaking my spirit.

TINA
Ohhh. Poor baby.

A nurse enters.

NURSE
Miss Montana I'm afraid you're going to have to leave.

HANNAH
But she wants to go with me.
Tina shakes her head worriedly at the nurse miming 'no' but Hannah covers her mouth.

NURSE
Please! You're upsetting our patient.

HANNAH
Have you seen you're eyeshadow? Honey you're upsetting the patient.

NURSE
Hahaha. That's it. You're out of here.

The nurse begins to drag Hannah out.

HANNAH
Oh sure. But I'm sure it's all 'shake it off' Hannah from one little one story drop and you quit! Disappointed in you! Very disappointed in you Tina! (as the nurse violently slams the door) Whoa!

***

Hannah is sitting on the couch in the Stewart living room on the phone to Lily.

HANNAH
Lily. You cannot believe how selfish Tina is. It was like she didn't even care what was going on in my life she was all ... "argh!" "I'm in pain" "I can't feel my toes" "amahamaha". Some friend. You know what I'm just going to have to fire Sean. You know he's only known Dad for like one weekend how close can they be?

Sean and Robby step in.

ROBBY
This man just saved my life!

HANNAH
(still on phone) Oh come on! I'm going to have to call you back. (hangs up phone as Robby takes a seat on the couch beside Hannah) What happen?

SEAN
Oh it wasn't that much Double R.

ROBBY
Wasn't that much! We were jogging in the hills and I got bit by a rattlesnake. This man sucked the poison from my leg and carried me piggy backed all the way to the scooters! I'm telling you I would never be able to repay him. There's no way.

HANNAH
No way?

SEAN
Oh will you stop! Your friendship is payment enough.

ROBBY
You got it! Friends forever! (they high five each other)

SEAN
Absolutely Double R! (as he walks out) You are never getting rid of me! (he walks out)

HANNAH
Never?

ROBBY
Oh look at that. My baby girl is so happy for me she's crying!

Robby hugs his daughter who now appears to be in a state of tears.

ROBBY
(patting her on the back) Let it out darling! Let it out!

HANNAH
(whines)

ROBBY
Boy you really are happy!

***

At Rico's Shack Joannie and Oliver are sitting on the fence in foil suits looking up at the sky.

OLIVER
I think it's them! (some bird droppings plop down on Oliver's head) It was just a seagull.

JOANNIE
Oliver I'm getting kind of hot. Do you think we could take this off for a while?

OLIVER
No! No! No! No! How are they supposed to tell us apart from the other Earthlings? You can't take that suit off. EVER!

JOANNIE
OK .... Good to know. I'll be right back ... (she steps off the fence and she and Oliver echo back at each-other the siren noise from the previous night. Joannie walks over to Jackson who is behind the counter at Rico's Shack) Jackson I've got to break up with Oliver.

JACKSON
Nooo! But why!

JOANNIE
We started out a cute couple ... and now I look like the world's largest 'to-go' container. But how do I do it without hurting him?

JACKSON
Joannie. Sometimes things like this happen in this crazy mixed up world. But somehow ... I think he's going to be OK. (pats Joannie on the shoulder) Ow! That's hot.

Joannie looks over and sees Oliver's suit simmering with steam.

OLIVER
I smell something burning. Oh it's just me. (realizes) It's just me! (he snatches a soda from somebody passing by and pours it down his back. Joannie walks back over)

JOANNIE
Oliver I have to tell you something.

OLIVER
(gets off fence) No Joannie. I have to tell you something. I don't want to go out with you anymore.

JOANNIE
Wait. You're breaking up with me?

OLIVER
Yes. Yes I am. And I know I have to pay for it so ... just do what you have to do. I can take it.

JOANNIE
Oliver ...

OLIVER
(covers his face) Just not the face!

JOANNIE
Oliver!

OLIVER
OK Fine. I'll do it for you.

He lets go of the fence and falls down onto the sand dunes. Back at the counter Jackson turns to a boy of his age sitting behind the counter.

JACKSON
I should probably say something.

JOANNIE
Oliver come back up here!

Oliver climbs his way back up.

OLIVER
So you can finish me off! I'm not that stupid. (Oliver jumps back down again taking a leap of faith)

JACKSON
After one more fall.

As Oliver makes his way up again he falls back down in tiredness.

JACKSON
Two times.

***

Hannah is dragging Lola into the dance studio.

LOLA
Miley please! Can't I just wait in the parking lot? The big bald dancer man scares me.

HANNAH
No! I cannot face him without you.

LOLA
Try facing the corner for two hours! People write things on the wall. Bad things.

HANNAH
Lola.

LOLA
OK I wrote them! But I was bored!

Pushing Lola in front of her the two of them enter the dance studio to meet the group of Hannah's dancers rehearsing.

HANNAH
Hey guys! Good news!

DANCER 1
You fired Sean!

HANNAH
Better! I bought us a ... (opens box) Cinnamon ring! (the dancers stare at her) Cinnamon ring! OK Look. (she chucks the cinnamon ring in the rubbish bin) I can't fire Sean OK. He saved my father's life.

DANCERS
Big deal.

DANCER 1
Who cares!

HANNAH
I do! I love my dad and he likes this guy. And if all we have to do is suck it up then that's what we're going to do.

DANCER 1
Meva not happy! Meva going to tell Sean exactly how we feel.

LOLA
Yeah, way to go Meva!

Sean walks in.

SEAN
Playtime's over dancers!

DANCER 1
Sean! (Sean gives her a deathly stare) ... I love the shirt!

LOLA
(to Dancer 1) I'm writing things on the wall about you! (turns to Sean who gives her a look) I know I'm going.

Sadly she turns and walks over into the corner.

SEAN
Last night I had a vision. The perfect grammy dance. It's unique it's inspired ... it's Nanah.

HANNAH
Well whatever it is I'm sure it's going to be brilliant! Right guys!

The group (including Lola) give a fake cheer of approval.

***

Hannah attached to strings like a puppet is being moved around a red carpet set up with the dancers moving around her. Sean is controlling her with the control switches on the table while Hannah's hit "Super Girl" is playing.

HANNAH
You know what I can't see! Why I'm on strings. The song is called Super-Girl so why am I a puppet?

SEAN
Fine I'll go through it 'again'. Now while you may be a 'Super-Girl' you're forced to be what other people expect you to be. You're a puppet on a string! And until you break free you will never be in control of your own life!

DANCER 1
Duh!

HANNAH
Well shouldn't there be a part where I break free? Like now!

SEAN
Hmmm ... ar no!

The two of them walk back to the controls table.

HANNAH
Come on! I've always had some say in my own routines.

SEAN
Yeah and you know what I say to that? Step back girl! (he flicks a switch and the strings pull Hannah back to the red carpet)

HANNAH
(Struggling) This isn't funny!

SEAN
Oh really! How about now! (he flicks some switches and forces Hannah into doing some bizarre moves)

HANNAH
Would you please stop this!

SEAN
OK how about this!

He flicks at some more switches and the strings position Hannah so she can wave her hands like a chicken.

HANNAH
Real mature!

SEAN
But wasn't this the give and take you were looking for?

HANNAH
OK listen here mister! Sure you're a great choreographer but it's time someone said 'no no Nanah'! And you know what you may be my daddy's best friend but he would be the first one to tell me that I don't have to put up with ... (Sean pulls some switches and the strings push Hannah's elbow against her mouth)

SEAN
OK good! You're through!

HANNAH (Breaks free)
Listen! If I can't put some of me in my moves then I might as well just be a puppet on a string! (Sean pulls some buttons and Hannah is forced into hugging herself)

SEAN
Man I wish I could fire you! But since I can't ... Meva you're fired! (Meva runs out crying) Now we're going to run this again from the top!

Hannah makes her way over to the corner breaking free of the strings.

HANNAH
Lola get the control box!

LOLA
Do I have to?

HANNAH
Lola!

Lola sneaks up behind Sean and snatches the control box.

LOLA
You'll never take this alive! (runs over to window) OK this would've worked if somebody hadn't of wooded up the windows! (Sean starts chasing her)

SEAN
Hey you give that back and get out of my studio!

HANNAH
This is not your studio! And maybe you can't fire me but as sure as my brothers armpit hairs stink I can fire you!

LOLA
Fire you!

SEAN
Oh really. And what are you planning to do at the grammies?

HANNAH
I'll string something together.

LOLA
Yes we will!

HANNAH
So listen. You better just hammertime your butt of here.

SEAN
Fine but you going to miss this! (Sean moves out in style as Hannah chases him out the door)

LOLA
Hannah! The strings!

HANNAH
Eeep!

The strings abruptly pull Hannah back into the studio room.

***

Back in the studio room Sean is attached to the strings with Robby and Lola controlling him at the desk.

SEAN
Oh come on! Is this really necessary!

ROBBY
I don't care if you did save my life! Nobody messes with my little girl! Nobody! (he makes Sean do some more bizarre moves) Oh now! Hop bunny! Hop!

LOLA
My turn!

ROBBY
OK but don't hog it! (hands Lola the controls)

LOLA
Now drop and give me twenty!

ROBBY
Yeah doggies!

SEAN
Oh now come on! That's not right!
