The Musical: The Series...

00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:06,470
Well, it's official.
Nini and EJ are splitsville.
3
00:00:06,548 --> 00:00:08,928
(SINGING) But you were
always there beside me
4
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:11,639
RICKY: I kinda missed it
'cause I was dealing with my own drama.
5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,970
Sweetheart, we've decided
to legally separate.
6
00:00:14,056 --> 00:00:17,386
I'm not stupid. I know couples
don't magically get back together.
7
00:00:19,478 --> 00:00:20,688
Right?

CARLOS: We're on the official countdown
to opening night.
11
00:00:30,322 --> 00:00:34,452
This is the moment when the creative team
begins to give the show over to the cast,
12
00:00:34,535 --> 00:00:36,655
which is strangely emotional, actually.
13
00:00:36,745 --> 00:00:39,115
But Miss Jenn says,
"That's a life in the arts."
14
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:41,456
Well, that and almost
constant unemployment.

Come on, dude,
I'm just saying, this is your chance.
24
00:01:14,658 --> 00:01:18,538
The last thing I'm gonna do is ask Nini
to Homecoming on the day of the dance.
25
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:20,160
But she's single and ready to mingle.
26
00:01:20,247 --> 00:01:23,747
Yeah! And I had to hear it from Ashlyn,
who heard it from Seb.
27
00:01:23,834 --> 00:01:26,174
I'm telling you,
Nini hardcore friend-zoned me.
28
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:27,713
Then ask her as friends!
29
00:01:27,796 --> 00:01:30,506
We can all hang out together!
Like the good old days!

00:01:32,050 --> 00:01:34,010
Nini, you've been in there
for ten minutes.

in a public bathroom.

but there are healthier ways to move on!
38
00:01:56,158 --> 00:01:58,408
This is not mad. This is empowered.
39
00:01:58,493 --> 00:02:00,663
I'm done with boys
who think they can control me,
40
00:02:00,746 --> 00:02:02,786
and exes who can't even handle
being friends.

-I am done with boys.
-(TOILET FLUSHES)

I'm in.
54
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:36,906
I believe a director's first job is to
look out for the well-being of her cast.
55
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:39,990
I'm losing my leading lady's focus
right when I need it most,

back in Nini's performance.

this is the way it is now, okay?

No. It's not okay.
68
00:03:24,121 --> 00:03:27,921
I don't like it either, but,
I really can't look at you like this.
69

You need to, like,
take a shower, rejoin civilization.

out there post-breakup.

to his first ever dance.

a best friend with two left feet?

a dating profile?

00:08:18,373 --> 00:08:19,373
MIKE: Um...
174
00:08:19,458 --> 00:08:22,088
Pardon me. You're not Karen, are you?
175
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,920
Who's asking?
176
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:27,418
Sorry, I'm just waiting
for someone named Karen.
177
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:29,506
At least, that's what she told me.
178
00:08:29,593 --> 00:08:31,973
(SCOFFS) Ugh.
Isn't online dating the worst?
179
00:08:32,054 --> 00:08:34,684
Hi. Can I get three ginger ales,
heavy on the ice,
180
00:08:34,765 --> 00:08:37,015
and an order of nachos, please? Thank you.
181
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:38,310
Sorry, you were saying?
182
00:08:38,393 --> 00:08:41,103
Actually, I was agreeing.
That online dating is the worst.
183
00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:44,148
But, I promised my kid
I'd put myself out there.
184
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,940
Am I showing too much chest?
185
00:08:48,487 --> 00:08:49,857
I think you look great.
186
00:08:52,157 --> 00:08:53,157
I'm Mike.
187
00:08:53,534 --> 00:08:56,704
Hi. I'm... not Karen.
188
00:08:56,787 --> 00:08:58,617
Now, that's a name you don't forget.
189
00:08:58,705 --> 00:08:59,915
(BOTH LAUGH)
190
00:08:59,998 --> 00:09:00,998
Um, thank you.
191
00:09:01,083 --> 00:09:03,793
If you'll excuse me,
I have to get back to my table.
192
00:09:04,378 --> 00:09:05,588
Good luck, Mike.
193
00:09:07,256 --> 00:09:11,796
(SINGING) I've got my own revolution

(GIRL CONTINUES SINGING)
195
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:17,019
I cannot believe this.
196
00:09:17,099 --> 00:09:20,099
-You're telling me.
-She's wearing the lime green sweater.
197
00:09:20,185 --> 00:09:22,895
What're you talking about?
She's wearing a bedazzled tablecloth.
198
00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:24,770
And she's with EJ.
199
00:09:28,694 --> 00:09:31,664
-Girl, I'm talkin' about Tonya Freeman.
-NINI: Wait, what?
200
00:09:31,738 --> 00:09:35,198
The senior who keeps killing
all my costume ideas? She's here.
201
00:09:35,284 --> 00:09:38,044
And she's wearing the exact outfit
I chose for Gabriella
202
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,710
that she said would make
you look like a Teletubby.
203
00:09:41,582 --> 00:09:44,882
NINI: Are you gonna say something to her?
KOURTNEY: (SCOFFS) No.
204
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,840
I will! I'll march up there
and ask her where she got it.
205
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:52,091
Ooh! Okay. (CHUCKLES) Count backwards
from ten. Let's not ruin girls' night.
206
00:09:52,176 --> 00:09:53,966
Uh, kinda too late!
207
00:09:54,052 --> 00:09:56,512
EJ and Gina beat Tonya to it.
208
00:09:57,306 --> 00:09:58,426
I'm gonna say something.
209
00:09:58,515 --> 00:10:00,095
Nini! (CHUCKLES) I'm serious.
210
00:10:00,184 --> 00:10:02,774
Sodas are here, nachos on the way.
What's up?
211
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:04,518
NINI: Uh...
212
00:10:04,605 --> 00:10:06,685
Sorry, Miss Jenn, um,
could we have a second?
213
00:10:06,773 --> 00:10:10,993
Of course. I'll get napkins. And earplugs.
214
00:10:14,656 --> 00:10:17,366
He'll show up, okay?
Maybe he just hit traffic.
215
00:10:17,451 --> 00:10:18,791
We live in Salt Lake City.
216
00:10:18,869 --> 00:10:21,909
There hasn't been traffic
since the 2002 Winter Olympics.
217
00:10:21,997 --> 00:10:23,707
Don't assume Seb stood you up, okay?
218
00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:27,000
Maybe he was just in a farming accident.
219
00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:28,335
Not helping.
220
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:31,630
(CHUCKLES) Could you get me
some punch, babe?
221
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,255
(HESITANTLY) Sure, babe.
222
00:10:36,929 --> 00:10:40,639
Hey, not to intrude on date night,
but you can do better than EJ.
223
00:10:40,724 --> 00:10:42,394
That guy, that guy's bad news.
224
00:10:42,476 --> 00:10:44,976
You're not exactly one
to give relationship advice.
225
00:10:45,062 --> 00:10:47,112
And when I want your opinion, I'll ask.
226
00:10:47,689 --> 00:10:51,819
Well, I'm giving it anyway 'cause I sorta
thought you were classier than this.
227
00:10:51,902 --> 00:10:54,402
But, hey, maybe you really are
what people say you are.
228
00:10:54,488 --> 00:10:55,908
-And that is?
-Dude.
229
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:59,619
Just a little too ambitious
for your own good, or anyone else's.
230
00:11:05,082 --> 00:11:06,212
(CLICKS TONGUE)
231

Still no Karen? Thank you.
233
00:11:15,843 --> 00:11:16,973
Uh...
234
00:11:17,052 --> 00:11:19,892
Actually there is no Karen.
235
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:22,219
I made her up just to talk to you.
236
00:11:22,766 --> 00:11:25,476
Hold on. I can't decide
if I'm offended or flattered.
237

(MIKE CHUCKLES)
238
00:11:26,937 --> 00:11:31,687
Would you maybe wanna
bowl together sometime?
239
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:36,106
And what is your name?
240
00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:38,949
Real name or stage name?
241
00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:40,582
Wait, you're an actor?
242
00:11:40,659 --> 00:11:42,539
-Mmm. (LAUGHS)
-That explains the charm.
243
00:11:43,328 --> 00:11:45,658
-Have I seen you in anything?
-Um...
244
00:11:46,081 --> 00:11:48,921
Do you remember that gum commercial
a few years ago
245
00:11:49,001 --> 00:11:51,881
where the girl smiled and then
her teeth turned into fireworks?
246
00:11:51,962 --> 00:11:53,212
Are you serious? Of course!
247
00:11:53,297 --> 00:11:55,507
Yeah, I was down to the final two
for that.
248
00:11:55,591 --> 00:11:59,431
It went to the other girl.
It's been a cold stretch, professionally.
249
00:12:01,263 --> 00:12:02,353
Personally, too.
250
00:12:03,265 --> 00:12:04,265
I can relate.

Was this, like, a huge mistake?
254
00:12:15,527 --> 00:12:17,197
What? Calling Gina out like that?
255
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:19,819
Yeah, that was mad harsh, dude.
You owe her an apology.
256
00:12:19,907 --> 00:12:22,577
She showed up to the dance
with my ex's ex.
257
00:12:22,659 --> 00:12:23,659
What's that about?
258
00:12:23,744 --> 00:12:26,084
Maybe it's not
actually about you at all.
259
00:12:26,163 --> 00:12:29,373
Maybe people are allowed to go out
with whoever they wanna go out with
260
00:12:29,458 --> 00:12:30,708
and be whoever they wanna be.

to Dr. Phil lately.

Now? Dude, we're at Homecoming.

for me to dance with.

-'Cause it just hit me.

00:16:28,655 --> 00:16:29,655
I'm a fraud.
343
00:16:30,199 --> 00:16:31,739
Well, that sounds familiar.
344

you're going?

Not on that stage, (CHUCKLES)
I'll tell you that much.
353
00:17:01,355 --> 00:17:03,935
I don't get it. What happened
to the seventh-grade Nini
354
00:17:04,024 --> 00:17:07,194
who used to belt this song out
in the backseat of my mom's minivan?
355
00:17:08,111 --> 00:17:09,321
She grew up.
356

Nuh-uh. She met Ricky.
357

-What?
-Ever since you discovered boys,
358
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:18,285
you've spent way too much time trying
to see yourself through their eyes.
359
00:17:18,372 --> 00:17:20,172
Oh, come on! No, that is not true.
360
00:17:20,707 --> 00:17:23,127
-No, I... No.
-Ah. Oh. Uh...
361
00:17:24,044 --> 00:17:27,214
-All right, it might be a little bit true.
-(LAUGHS) Okay.
362
00:17:27,297 --> 00:17:28,547
You know what?
363
00:17:28,632 --> 00:17:30,222
Miss Jenn's wrong.
364
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:32,680
You didn't lose your confidence.
365
00:17:32,761 --> 00:17:35,931
You just forgot why you love
to sing in the first place.
366

367

Excuse me, can you start this song
over again, please?

-Practicing what I preach.

370
00:17:52,155 --> 00:17:53,985
I got my crown
371
00:17:54,074 --> 00:17:58,334
Don't need a hero
to lift me off the ground
372
00:17:58,412 --> 00:18:00,412

373
00:18:00,497 --> 00:18:02,457

374

What if I'm everything
that I will ever need
378
00:18:14,678 --> 00:18:16,558
A queen messiah
379
00:18:16,638 --> 00:18:18,678
A strong survivor
380
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:24,225
Even the worst days
won't get the best of me
381
00:18:24,313 --> 00:18:25,523
'Cause I was
382
00:18:25,606 --> 00:18:28,436

To my castle in the sky
388
00:18:44,917 --> 00:18:49,207
I used to feel, like I was lost
389
00:18:49,296 --> 00:18:53,176
It's like my phone's navigation
was turned off
390
00:18:53,258 --> 00:18:57,298
But it's the road I stumbled on
391
00:18:57,387 --> 00:19:01,477
That led me right to the place
where I belong
392

Fight like a fighter
394

Yeah, I am everything
that I was meant to be

That's getting brighter
397
00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:17,200
Don't need nobody here
that don't believe in me
