Take Note (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Beginnings - full transcript
The Richards family must find their bearings in the strange new world of Hollywood and Take Note.
Good morning LA.
It's a hot one out there today,
with a forecast 95 degrees.
Come on we gotta go, go, go.
Whoa, whoa, on the go, go, go.
What?
You can't go dress like that.
I'm wearing what I always wear.
Exactly, don't do that anymore.
Don't do what anymore?
Hollywood's all
about image, baby.
Baby?
Look, I am who I am.
I know.
And we have to change
that too but right now,
let's just focus on this.
This outfit is fine.
Yeah, if you're going
to go change a tire
on the side of a highway
in exchange for a few bucks
to go get a new outfit,
then yeah, it's fine.
Do you know what,
the last time I let you focus
on-on this, I ended up going
viral in my underpants,
so I think I'm good.
I'm good, right dad?
Mom? Why is dad squeaking?
He's not squeaking.
Stop squeaking.
You look fine.
Just fine?
You look great!
Why do you all hate
what I'm wearing?
We don't hate what
you're wearing!
I do.
Jaxon! Stop messing with
your brother's head.
He's nervous enough,
as he should be.
Mm hmm.
This is by far the single
biggest day of his life.
And we should be
here to support him
no matter how basic he looks.
Reggie, how could you say that?
Which part?
I mean the whole speech
kinda got away from me.
Well, guess what?
I don't care. Take Note isn't
about the clothes you wear
or the watches you floss.
This competition is about the
music and it's about my voice.
So I'm going to let my voice
do my-flossing now lets-go!
And don't even get me
started on those shoes.
I hate when Jaxon's right.
These shoes are a disaster.
Told you baby.
All right, here we go.
Backstage at Take Note.
This is amazing!
Look, look, wait.
Calvin Richards checking in.
Hey, Calvin.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
My name's Moseley,
nice to meet you.
I'm sorry to say that only
one guardian is allowed
during elimination rounds.
Fine.
Calvin, let's go.
Oh!
All right, Drea.
Mm hmm.
This comes down to
one simple question.
Calvin,
who do you love more?
Really Richard?
Don't answer that.
Listen to me.
Wow.
Reggie,
sidebar please.
Fine.
But don't you try none of
your psychobabble on me.
Why do you think that you
should be his guardian today
instead of me.
Because I'm his mother
and I should be there
for all my baby's firsts.
His first day of school,
his first day at camp,
his first day on a
Hollywood soundstage,
surrounded by celebrities
who will befriend me.
And then I'll get to
meet Oprah who you know
will invite me back to
Montecito to eat corn muffins
with the Obamas.
Wow.
Listen, baby.
I know how long you dreamed
of eating corn muffins
with Oprah,
Uh huh.
But you know how much me and
Cal bond over his singing.
I know.
You're right.
Thank you baby.
And besides if anyone's
going to hang out with Oprah,
it's going to be me
shooting hoops with Barack
on her diamond, encrusted
basketball court!
Run, Calvin run!
Consolation prizes.
You get to pick up Calvin's
information package
at the hotel lobby.
I wasted pink linen on
an information package?
Whoa!
The stage!
This is like your dream
come true isn't it son?
I've been imagining
this for so long.
Oh, I got tingles.
You got tingles?
I got tingles.
What's your name?
Don't worry about it.
What's yours?
You'll learn it when I
give my victory speech
at the finale.
The stage doesn't look
as big as it does on TV.
I think it does.
I have a very big TV.
Dad,
please stop filming me.
Why stop?
I've been documenting
you your entire life
and this is a highlight.
You want me to stop now?
Yes,
this would be a
good time to stop.
Fine,
but do me a favor first.
Walk back in again,
but this time act a
little bit more dazzled.
Perfect!
Oh come on son,
I don't see what
the big deal is.
Dad this is the first
time the other contestants
are seeing me.
So?
Just be yourself.
I'm sure they'll love you.
My problem isn't being myself.
My problem is the one dad
camera crew embarrassing me.
I get it, I get it.
The last thing I want
to do is embarrass you.
Thank you.
It's Athena!
Oh so you don't want
me to embarrass you.
Dad,
it's different.
Athena is a Grammy winning
singer and one of the judges
and she's right there!
Mm hmm.
Why aren't you filming?
Come on boy.
Who's that over there?
Goes by the name of Sydney.
Small town girl,
wears her heart on her sleeve,
indie vibe.
No chance.
Right?
What do you know about him?
Noah.
Wannabe country Western guy.
Too cute,
too cocky.
The audience hates that.
He's out.
Who's that one?
His name is Miles from New York.
Performing art school kid,
loves Broadway show tunes
and is not afraid to sing them.
I once sang the entire
first act of Cats
while waiting in line for Cats.
You know anything
about that one?
Name's Calvin.
Hard to get a handle on him.
He comes off as
soft and unformed,
but sometimes that type proves
to be the most dangerous.
Sounds like somebody
should keep an eye on him.
Okay hot shot.
What's your take on me?
Pretty,
your parents are lawyers,
but you're here with your nanny,
you're old school R&B
but can be flexible when needed.
How do you know all that?
It pays to keep up on
all the real competition
around here.
Yeah.
You're one to watch,
Ivy.
Fine Maya,
to be honest,
I've got a file on you too.
There's only one
big knock on you.
Oh yeah?
What's that?
I'm not telling.
Allies?
Until we're not.
Ooh I love this hotel.
Ooh look at all these beaches.
Ooh look at all these museums.
We are going to do
so much learning.
Yeah mom,
that's why people
come to Hollywood.
Learning.
Okay.
What do you want to
learn about first?
Ooh,
how about wooly mammoth
stuck in the tar pit?
How about my toe stuck in
the sand at Venice beach.
Oh, I hate to burst
your beach bubble,
but they're all outside
the half mile radius.
I'm sorry.
The what mile radius?
The half mile radius
around the hotel.
We're not allowed to leave it.
Show rules.
Ooh
stay with me Jaxon.
We were unaware of
that horrifying fact.
Ooh I guess that kid
just found out now too.
Ooh he went down hard.
So who's competing
in your family?
My son, Calvin.
You?
Oh, I'm here with
my granddaughter.
Her name is-
Sydney!
Um did you just yell
your own name at me?
Totally.
Isn't this just the best?
I mean like not standing here,
the competition, obviously.
All these amazing singers
I just hope I do a good job
and I totally hope I make
the final cut.
And there's Ali Parkson
this is all just so-wow!
You have a lot of energy.
That's a good thing, right?
Here's Calvin with his
new friend, Sydney.
Sydney, will you
excuse me for a moment.
Mm hmm.
Dad,
I don't know how
to say this nicely
so I'm just going to say it.
You got to stop filming me.
Hey, you don't
gotta tell me twice.
I literally had
to tell you twice.
That's 'cause I love you son.
That's 'cause I feel
so close to you.
Speaking of which
do you think you could
give me some space?
I mean, I know we
came here together,
but I need to do this alone.
Okay.
I can respect that.
Here's me walking
away from my son.
Chair
who's all grown up
Chair
and doesn't need me.
Chair!
You did warn him three times.
I'm a witness.
Still love you, son.
Welcome to Take Note!
I'm Ali Parkson.
What's your name?
Okay,
now that that's out of the way,
you've all made it to Hollywood!
And you might notice some
of these Take Note cameras.
And if you happen to see one,
don't forget to smile.
So the first elimination
round starts right now.
And unfortunately that means
some of you will have to go.
Why are we clapping?
Some of us are
getting eliminated!
I have no idea
but I can't stop.
I knew it was a
mistake to come here!
At least my dad isn't
here to film this.
Hello America?
Every single one of you is
here because you can sing
but this elimination round
isn't all about singing.
Think of your
favorite performers.
Each one of them does
something on stage that
captures the essence
of who they are.
Katy Perry uses her fireworks.
BTS uses their dance moves.
and Beyonce, well,
she uses her Beyonce.
Your assignment is to
imagine your first solo tour
and create the opening
number that shows the world
who you are
and what makes
you unforgettable.
Any questions?
See, that wasn't so bad.
There's a lot of
interesting things
within a half mile of here.
And we got these Hollywood
muffler shops T-shirts.
The shirt says Hollywod, mom.
The other O is in the shoo.
Huh.
Well, I guess all the good
spellers are a half mile
in the other direction.
We'll explore that tomorrow.
Mom, look who it is!
Is that the weird lady
from the pawn shop?
No!
It's Vivian Stelligan!
She's head of wardrobe
for Take Note!
Oh, go say hello.
I can't.
Yes you can.
Come on.
Don't embarrass me.
Don't embarrass me.
Don't embarrass me.
Don't embarrass me!
Excuse me.
My son's a big fan.
Oh, ah.
I'm sure I'm not
whoever he thinks I am.
Are you Vivian Stelligan?
Oh, uh
yes I am.
Wow.
Then you're exactly
who he thinks you are.
Oh.
Ooh!
Stay with me, Jaxon.
Is he okay?
Does he do that?
Okay.
All right, that's it.
It's starting to feel personal.
Miles,
I'm just drawing a blank here.
Have you thought of anything?
I'm definitely going Broadway,
but do I go fifties,
Guys and Dolls
or
West Side Story Sharks
or a little Lin Manuel
Miranda vibe to tell the world
that I've arrived!
Ooh.
A theater geek says what?
What?
Don't worry about him.
Sydney!
Wondering what I'm doing
for my opening song?
It's going to be amazing.
So I'm going to lower from
the ceiling on a trapeze,
like 20 dancers
going nuts below me.
Where are you going
to find 20 dancers?
Can you guys dance?
No.
Grandma!
That's who's going
to dance below me.
Oh,
you should see our new move
since she got a new hip.
Okay, so it actually goes
They were all just so clear
about what they wanted to do.
I was clear about
what I wanted too,
but all I got was
this lousy t-shirt.
I mean, I didn't know
I'd have to come up with
a whole brand about myself.
I didn't know I was going to
have to learn the word radius
on my summer vacation.
I didn't think I'd have to
spend the day cheering Jaxon up
but on the plus side,
he learnt the word radius.
All right, my boy.
But enough about my day,
you must've had a
great time onstage.
Great doesn't begin
to describe it.
Honey?
Huh?
Why is your leg leaking?
My ice pack is melting.
Why do you have an ice pack?
As I said,
great does not begin
to describe it.
Pain does.
Ooh
Come here, baby.
Come help me.
No don't touch don't touch it.
Touch it, touch it.
Okay, okay.
And after three hours,
I still couldn't come
up with any ideas.
It's like I don't
even know myself.
Well lucky for you,
you're sharing a room
with an idea man.
A visionary.
All right idea man,
what'cha got?
Imagine, if you will.
And on top of all of that,
he kind of hurt my feelings.
Oh, baby.
It's like I'm not
important to him anymore
and
baby?
Baby?
And that's when the rain stops
and the sun comes out
and you are the sun.
What do you think?
I think you lost me
at imagine if you will
but I appreciate the love.
Jaxon!
I don't know.
Behold.
Thanks to your best
friend, Vivian.
You aren't even gonna think
about the beach tomorrow.
Check it out.
No way!
Two Take Note VIP
backstage passes?
I have to pick up
something to wear.
Me too!
Ooh, stay away from plaid.
That's all mine.
Come on.
Hey, son.
Sorry to crowd you
but uh, how's the project going?
It's going.
I got stuff percolating.
Alright, alright.
Anything pops could do?
Uh I'm good,
but thanks.
My son's percolating without me.
Figure out how you're
going to introduce yourself
to the world?
I guess.
Can I see?
What?
Nothing,
it's okay.
Just okay?
Very okay?
Oh, it's boring.
I knew it.
I never said it was boring,
but if you're asking
for my opinion,
it's just so real.
Man, you're right.
Real is lame.
I need to think bigger.
What do you think?
Well, that's what your
gut is telling you.
Hair and makeup.
Whoa!
The Take Note main stage.
Whoa!
The piece de resistance.
Wardrobe!
Catch me mom, I'm going down.
Okay.
Thank you Vivian.
You're welcome.
Oh hey guys,
do you want to see my
outfit for tonight?
Sure.
I'm going for Bruno
Mars meets life on Mars.
I got up town funk
but I'm also out of this world.
Hey Calvin,
you still want this alien head?
No, he does not.
Then who's going to
shoot the lasers?
Calvin, this is horrible.
It is?
Yes, how did you
come up with this?
Ivy helped me.
Ivy.
Calvin!
How'd your concept turn out?
I'm guessing terrible.
Did you sabotage me?
Well I would say that
you sabotaged yourself
by listening to me.
You are the worst.
Actually, I'm the best.
This is a competition and I'm
going to do whatever I can
to win.
I'm prettier than this.
What are you going to do?
What I should've done
in the first place.
Here's my dad.
The most creative,
musical man I know.
What are you doing?
I'm filming my apology.
Well, I don't mean to help,
but you might want to film it
landscape instead of portrait.
Actually I do want
to apologize, dad.
I pushed you away when you
were trying to be there for me.
It's all good, son.
I respect you standing
on your own two feet.
And you're right.
You don't need my help.
Actually, I do.
Really?
Mm hmm.
The judges have heard her
concept. Now lets hear her sing.
Next up, Ivy!
Bro, you good?
This is it.
I can't believe I'm about to
perform on the stage of the...
Show he's dreamt about forever.
I'm so nervous for him.
You think he's okay?
I'm sure he's fine.
Bro, is that stage fright?
Or the little egg rolls
they had backstage,
because either way, ew.
Let's give it up for Ivy!
Two minutes, Calvin.
So, judges,
what do you think?
I think she killed it!
We're all a yes!
Thank you!
Did you guys come up
with a good concept?
We did.
Mm.
Let's just say it's been
a lifetime in the making.
Next up, Calvin!
That's my son!
Okay, Calvin.
Tonight, you need to show
the judges why you should
be on Take Note.
So Calvin,
how did you mine the
depths of your soul
to reveal your essence?
Um
Well let me clarify.
What's your process?
Is it round or square?
Is it bird-like?
Or more like a weasel?
Oh, well,
at first coming up with
a whole brand was scary,
but then I realized it
was just about being me.
Good luck, Calvin.
Oh my gosh, he used your videos!
Think he's gonna make it?
How can he not?
Well judges,
what do we think?
I don't know who's
leaving tonight.
But I know it's not Calvin.
Yes!
Yes!
I love you!
It's a hot one out there today,
with a forecast 95 degrees.
Come on we gotta go, go, go.
Whoa, whoa, on the go, go, go.
What?
You can't go dress like that.
I'm wearing what I always wear.
Exactly, don't do that anymore.
Don't do what anymore?
Hollywood's all
about image, baby.
Baby?
Look, I am who I am.
I know.
And we have to change
that too but right now,
let's just focus on this.
This outfit is fine.
Yeah, if you're going
to go change a tire
on the side of a highway
in exchange for a few bucks
to go get a new outfit,
then yeah, it's fine.
Do you know what,
the last time I let you focus

so I think I'm good.
I'm good, right dad?
Mom? Why is dad squeaking?
He's not squeaking.
Stop squeaking.
You look fine.
Just fine?
You look great!
Why do you all hate
what I'm wearing?
We don't hate what
you're wearing!
I do.
Jaxon! Stop messing with
your brother's head.
He's nervous enough,
as he should be.
Mm hmm.
This is by far the single

from the pawn shop?
No!
It's Vivian Stelligan!
She's head of wardrobe
for Take Note!
Oh, go say hello.
I can't.
Yes you can.
Come on.
Don't embarrass me.
Don't embarrass me.
Don't embarrass me.
Don't embarrass me!
Excuse me.
My son's a big fan.
Oh, ah.
I'm sure I'm not
whoever he thinks I am.
Are you Vivian Stelligan?
Oh, uh
yes I am.
Wow.
Then you're exactly
who he thinks you are.
Oh.
Ooh!
Stay with me, Jaxon.
Is he okay?
Does he do that?
Okay.
All right, that's it.
It's starting to feel personal.
Miles,
I'm just drawing a blank here.
Have you thought of anything?
I'm definitely going Broadway,
but do I go fifties,
Guys and Dolls
or
West Side Story Sharks
or a little Lin Manuel
Miranda vibe to tell the world
that I've arrived!
Ooh.
A theater geek says what?
What?
Don't worry about him.
Sydney!
Wondering what I'm doing
for my opening song?
It's going to be amazing.
So I'm going to lower from
the ceiling on a trapeze,
like 20 dancers
going nuts below me.
Where are you going
to find 20 dancers?
Can you guys dance?
No.
Grandma!
That's who's going
to dance below me.
Oh,
you should see our new move
since she got a new hip.
Okay, so it actually goes
They were all just so clear
about what they wanted to do.
I was clear about
what I wanted too,
but all I got was
this lousy t-shirt.
I mean, I didn't know
I'd have to come up with
a whole brand about myself.
I didn't know I was going to
have to learn the word radius
on my summer vacation.
I didn't think I'd have to
spend the day cheering Jaxon up
but on the plus side,
he learnt the word radius.
All right, my boy.
But enough about my day,
you must've had a
great time onstage.
Great doesn't begin
to describe it.
Honey?
Huh?
Why is your leg leaking?
My ice pack is melting.
Why do you have an ice pack?
As I said,
great does not begin
to describe it.
Pain does.
Ooh
Come here, baby.
Come help me.
No don't touch don't touch it.
Touch it, touch it.
Okay, okay.
And after three hours,
I still couldn't come
up with any ideas.
It's like I don't
even know myself.
Well lucky for you,
you're sharing a room
with an idea man.
A visionary.
All right idea man,
what'cha got?
Imagine, if you will.
And on top of all of that,
he kind of hurt my feelings.
Oh, baby.
It's like I'm not
important to him anymore
and
baby?
Baby?
And that's when the rain stops
and the sun comes out
and you are the sun.
What do you think?
I think you lost me
at imagine if you will
but I appreciate the love.
Jaxon!
I don't know.
Behold.
Thanks to your best
friend, Vivian.
You aren't even gonna think
about the beach tomorrow.
Check it out.
No way!
Two Take Note VIP
backstage passes?
I have to pick up
something to wear.
Me too!
Ooh, stay away from plaid.
That's all mine.
Come on.
Hey, son.
Sorry to crowd you
but uh, how's the project going?
It's going.
I got stuff percolating.
Alright, alright.
Anything pops could do?
Uh I'm good,
but thanks.
My son's percolating without me.
Figure out how you're
going to introduce yourself
to the world?
I guess.
Can I see?
What?
Nothing,
it's okay.
Just okay?
Very okay?
Oh, it's boring.
I knew it.
I never said it was boring,
but if you're asking
for my opinion,
it's just so real.
Man, you're right.
Real is lame.
I need to think bigger.
What do you think?
Well, that's what your
gut is telling you.
Hair and makeup.
Whoa!
The Take Note main stage.
Whoa!
The piece de resistance.
Wardrobe!
Catch me mom, I'm going down.
Okay.
Thank you Vivian.
You're welcome.
Oh hey guys,
do you want to see my
outfit for tonight?
Sure.
I'm going for Bruno
Mars meets life on Mars.
I got up town funk
but I'm also out of this world.
Hey Calvin,
you still want this alien head?
No, he does not.
Then who's going to
shoot the lasers?
Calvin, this is horrible.
It is?
Yes, how did you
come up with this?
Ivy helped me.
Ivy.
Calvin!
How'd your concept turn out?
I'm guessing terrible.
Did you sabotage me?
Well I would say that
you sabotaged yourself
by listening to me.
You are the worst.
Actually, I'm the best.
This is a competition and I'm
going to do whatever I can
to win.
I'm prettier than this.
What are you going to do?
What I should've done
in the first place.
Here's my dad.
The most creative,
musical man I know.
What are you doing?
I'm filming my apology.
Well, I don't mean to help,
but you might want to film it
landscape instead of portrait.
Actually I do want
to apologize, dad.
I pushed you away when you
were trying to be there for me.
It's all good, son.
I respect you standing
on your own two feet.
And you're right.
You don't need my help.
Actually, I do.
Really?
Mm hmm.
The judges have heard her
concept. Now lets hear her sing.
Next up, Ivy!
Bro, you good?
This is it.
I can't believe I'm about to
perform on the stage of the...
Show he's dreamt about forever.
I'm so nervous for him.
You think he's okay?
I'm sure he's fine.
Bro, is that stage fright?
Or the little egg rolls
they had backstage,
because either way, ew.
Let's give it up for Ivy!
Two minutes, Calvin.
So, judges,
what do you think?
I think she killed it!
We're all a yes!
Thank you!
Did you guys come up
with a good concept?
We did.
Mm.
Let's just say it's been
a lifetime in the making.
Next up, Calvin!
That's my son!
Okay, Calvin.
Tonight, you need to show
the judges why you should
be on Take Note.
So Calvin,
how did you mine the
depths of your soul
to reveal your essence?
Um
Well let me clarify.
What's your process?
Is it round or square?
Is it bird-like?
Or more like a weasel?
Oh, well,
at first coming up with
a whole brand was scary,
but then I realized it
was just about being me.
Good luck, Calvin.
Oh my gosh, he used your videos!
Think he's gonna make it?
How can he not?
Well judges,
what do we think?
I don't know who's
leaving tonight.
But I know it's not Calvin.
Yes!
Yes!
I love you!
