Take Note (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Community - full transcript

Please welcome, Miles.

Is it okay if I start again?

You know me, I'm
not one to complain.

But we have been in
LA for over a month

and I haven't seen anything.

Zip, nada, zero.

You know the rules
of the show say,

we can't go more than half
a mile away from the hotel.

So they can keep the results
secret from the public.

But, I need to go to the beach.

We can't.



And the movie studios.

Uh-uh.

Theme parks, the Walk of
Fame, the Hollywood Sign.

Nope. Nada. Not gonna happen.

I demand to see my lawyer.

You ain't got no lawyer.

Then my accountant.

Baby, it's hard for us too

but I'm sorry, everything
that you want to see

is way farther than
a half a mile away.

Then why couldn't they have
put the hotel a half mile

from the beach?

Boys got a point.

Don't you start.



I just wanted to thank you guys.

I know you have made
a lot of sacrifices

in order for me to be here.

Yes, we have.

Jaxon!

I said it! I said it!

It's great to see
you so excited, son.

I just feel like
I've found my people.

Ay, any of your people
have beachfront property?

I'm super psyched for 80s week.

This week, I'm definitely
gonna do a Prince song.

I mean, it's in the name.

The man is music royalty.

I'm doing Cyndi Lauper,
but that's the easy part.

It's the giant hair
and the shoulder pads

that I'm concerned about.

I haven't landed on
the exact song yet,

but it will definitely be loud

and involve with leopard
print stretch pants.

You know what all great
80s songs having common?

Big 80s shrieks.

Yeah. Everybody was
screaming in the eighties.

Probably because of
the stretch pants.

Rude.

Heard you and Noah have
an interview today.

Oh, yeah.

They decided to profile the
two contestants from the south.

So not looking forward to it.

Yeah. His whole "I'm too
good for this place" act

is getting old for sure.

With his chiseled jaw-line,
great hair, dreamy eyes.

Sorry.

Ugh, Noah.

A most excellent morning to
all my dudes and dudettes.

This week's radical
80s mini challenge is,

dancing!

Nothing sells a song like
bodacious dance moves.

So you'll be partnered up

and this afternoon,

a choreographer will teach you

an eighties routine
you'll be judged on.

The winning pair will win
a bonus training session

with our vocal coach.

I'm Ali 5000.

Okay. Let's pair you off.

Uh, Tally and Ian.

You two.

Uh, Sydney and Maya.

Calvin and Noah.

Ugh.

Miles and Ivy.

Ivy?

Ugh.

Sorry, dude.

Here goes nothing.

"Wings of Love" is
the best musical ever.

Why are you having fun with Ivy?

What do you mean?

Ivy is, you know, the worst.

Maybe she's just misunderstood?

Or maybe you could just be a
tiny bit careful around her.

We're just worried
about you, Miles.

Why? I'm not a child.

I can take care of myself.

Do you think it's maybe
possible we've misjudged-

No. Yeah, you're right.

She's the worst.

Baby?

I just miss our
friends from back home.

I figured that out
after the fifth sigh.

And to be honest
I miss home too.

You know what we'd
be doing right now

if we were back home in Atlanta.

Hosting a backyard barbecue,

ending with you taking
a nap in a lawn chair.

You know what is
good for napping?

What? The beach.

Maybe it's time we get to
know the other parents.

In fact, we should
invite our neighbors

from down the hall over today.

Noah's parents?

Nope. Bad idea.

I think Jaxon's right.

We ain't got nothing in common

with those people-Mm.

Except our children are
trying to destroy each other.

We're both from the south,
so we have that in common.

Remember that paper I
wrote on Dr. Ehlers.

In Elhers famous
pigeon experiment,

he concluded that
pigeons of a feather,

tend to flock together.

Are you trying to
compare us to pigeons?

You know what's
not like pigeons?

Seagulls.

You know where we
can study them?

The beach!

No.

Ah.

What are we gonna do about this?

Nothing.

He's a big boy, we should
trust his judgment.

It's not him that
I'm concerned about.

Well, I'm gonna go
practice my Prince screams.

But you're not finished.

Yeah, I am.

You're gonna waste
all that food?

I'm not the only one, look.

Besides, the show throws out
all the leftovers anyways.

There are people
starving in this world

and everybody's
completely oblivious.

But I'm already pretty full.

Words millions of kids
never get the chance to say.

Lovin' it!

Way to jam everybody!

All right, so most
of you were righteous

but Calvin and Noah,
you were just gnarly.

And our most
excellent winners are,

Miles and Ivy!

Nice going.

My grandfather dances better

and he's literally
got two left feet.

Well it's not my fault.

Sydney made me eat too
much stupid food at lunch.

That was about as
smooth as your moves.

Way to demean one of
your only friends here?

Way to demean the left footed.

Just try not to screw
up our interview

like you just did
the mini challenge.

Feels like I ate two left feet.

Have you seen Sydney?

Have you seen Sydney?

Hey Calvin. You
looking for Sydney?

Yes!

Have you seen her? No.

Oh, hey and don't forget,

you got that press
event with Noah in 30.

I'll be there, Ali. I promise.

This is a genius idea.

Okay now,

his name is Trevor,
her name's Kitty.

Yeah, yeah. Got it Drea.

But even they're
gonna forget the names

after they taste my
down-home peach cobbler

and your mama's famous sweet tea

that you made with love.

Let's go make some besties.

Hey neighbors.

Mighty nice of you
to have us over.

Hi darling.

I brought some sweet tea.

Oh, that's so kind of you.

I made some sweet tea too.

It's my mother's recipe.

She's-Bless your heart.

This is my grandma's recipe.

It's pride of Tennessee.

I mean, of course we
can try your moms too,

just after mine's gone.

Small suite.

We paid for the upgrade.

You know how cheap
these shows are?

But I'm sure you're doing
what you think is right

for your family.

I mean, come on mama.

Put that down. Come on.

Miles.

Have you seen Syd anywhere?

Not since the incident.

Yeah, that's when
I'm looking for her.

Someones thirsty.

It's for Ivy.

Of course. It's for Ivy.

Why do you have to
say it like that?

I'm just looking
out for my friend.

Kind of like the way you
looked out for Sydney earlier?

I'm good.

Dang it!

Yes!

Fantastic. Way to take the note.

Let's take five.

Wow! Nice!

You're amazing.

Thank you.

Do you ever think about
what you're gonna do

if you win this thing?

Like for me, I'm gonna
buy a house for my mom.

We've lived in tiny
apartments my whole life.

Really?

I dunno why I just
told you that.

No, I'm glad you did.

Thanks.

She's always supported my
music and put me first.

I just wanna put her
first for a change.

That's really sweet.

Way to go, Richards.

Look, I'm really sorry-

Dude. I don't care.

This ain't a game, man.

At least not for me.

Sure seems like one for you.

You're not even changed.

Well,

you gotta hand it to our kids.

They got a lot of
guts doing this.

Yeah, you see it as courage

but I see it as me
staying on Noah 24/7.

Just push! Push!

And then push harder!

'Cause this ain't no game.

Is it honey? That's
right, daddy.

So, you're from Nashville?

Oh, yeah.

What do you do in Nashville?

Well what does anyone
do in Nashville?

Music, my friend, music.

But those losers, they
weren't ready for me.

Were are they honey?

No daddy. No, they were not.

Okay.

I have been looking
all over for you!

Oh, well, you found me.

You wanna hear my
Cyndi Lauper shriek?

Sure. But- Okay.

Great! But- Oh! And
she also squeaks.

Great squeaks. Great squeaks.

But I really need to talk
to you about earlier when-

Oh, are you okay?

I'm good.

I just really wanted to say-

I am so sorry!

Oh, not as sorry as me.

Um, hello?

Hey Calvin.

These are Noah's parents.

Nice to meet you.

I really have to go to the,

my room.

I'm gonna go check on him.

I'm coming too.

Rude.

We best answer it.

All right. All right.

Here's your kid.

Tried to sneak in the car
to go to the beach with us.

Not my kid.

Not my problem.

I take it you're ma and pa Noah?

I'm Jaxon. Nice to meet you.

Ooh, sweet tea.

Don't mind if I do!

Who made this mistake?!

I think it's really cool
that we're getting along.

To be honest, I wasn't
so sure we would.

You sometimes come off as,

well, guarded.

I can see that,

but it's different with you.

Really? Why?

I don't need to watch
my back around you

because you're not
talented enough to win.

What? Of course I am.

Good for you.

Confidence is everything.

Come on, let's go get a snack.

I'm so sorry-

My sweet tea is no mistake.

Good day.

Hey, if I was at the beach,

none of this would've happened.

Thank you, son.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

I have to find Sydney.

She's mad 'cause I blamed
my bad dancing on her.

And I Dutch ovened her.

What? A Dutch oven.

You know? When you fart

and then you run out
of a room or elevator,

leaving the victim
trapped inside?

That's a hotbox.

A Dutch oven is when
you fart under a blanket

and then trap someones
head under it.

Well then I hotboxed her.

You'd think clearing that up
would make me less confused,

but it doesn't.

I just have to find her.

You should.

In fact, what are
you waiting for?

Sydney!

What are they doing?

Ah!

Shh!

Did you just hotbox me?

Technically, it
was a Dutch oven.

It stopped!

Maybe we're at the beach?

I can't believe that
hotel security woke us up

in the middle of the night
to come get you to from jail.

It wasn't jail. It was
the concierge desk.

Even worse!

All those fancy Hollywood
people giving me the side-eye.

Ooh, it's a bacon day.

Nice try. No bacon
for either of you.

I don't deserve bacon.

It's my fault that Sydney left

and Miles is mad at me.

And I somehow made
things worse with Noah,

if that's possible.

I feel horrible about
everything right now.

Ugh! Son.

I know how he feels.

I was just trying to
make some friends,

create a sense of
community around here.

But yesterday was a disaster.

Well, that's what bacon's for.

Bacon is a privilege. Mm-hmm.

Man! No bacon and no beach!

I'm gonna go hang
out with Calvin.

We can bond his brothers
over both being miserable!

Mm-hmm. Ugh!

I guess misery loves company.

That's it.

Misery loves company.

The second half of
Ehlers experiment.

Uh.

I'm gonna go join the boys.

Oh, no, no, listen.

In the experiment,

the pigeons were irritable
until Elhers figured out

that he could improve their mood

by changing their environment.

He introduced positive stimuli,

which gave them something
else to focus on,

which ultimately made them happy

and allowed them to bond
and co-exist peacefully.

Hm!

You thinking what I'm thinking?

I can safely say,
uh, probably not.

No bacon for you.

Okay! Let's get this
photo shoot started.

These legwarmers
were a bad idea then

and they're still
a bad idea now.

Uh, it looks like
we're missing Sydney.

Has anybody seen her?

About that.

I need to own up to something.

You're here!

Of course I'm here.

I just wanna have fun.

I thought you quit the show.

I saw you and your grandma in
the lobby with your luggage.

What are you talking about?

I thought you were leaving
'cause you're mad at me.

Mad at you?

Why would I be mad at you?

Look, if you're leaving the
show because of me then-

Okay, listen.

I don't know what
you think you saw,

but I didn't leave the
hotel last night, okay?

Sheesh.

I thought you
wanted to have fun?

This isn't a fun.

You done with the
show for today?

Yup.

Life stinks.

Yup.

Boys!

I'm about to put some stimuli
all up in your bird cages!

What are you talking about?

I don't know.

Just put these on!

And come with me.

Well come on!

What is all this?

Since we couldn't
bring you to the beach,

we thought we'd
the beach to you.

This is unbelievable.

It was your mom's great idea

to bring everyone together.

I just felt like
summer time fun.

Especially you two.

Go check it out! Go on! Go on!

Looks like your experiment
is a great success,

Professor Richards.

I think this might be our
best backyard barbecue yet.

Mm-hmm.

There's sand in my butt
and I don't even care!

Hey man.

Thanks for the invite.

This is all my parents.

Well I appreciate it.

I know I've been kind of
raw with you lately so,

you know,

we good?

All good.

Grab a smoothie.

Calvin.

I'm sorry for being so
hard on you about Ivy.

No. You're right.

It turns out she
was only my friend

because she thinks I'm a loser,

with no talent.

Dude, that's so not true.

Isn't it?

She really messed with my head.

I don't even know if I
can perform tomorrow.

What song are you singing?

"Cum On Feel The
Noize" by Quiet Riot.

That's perfect.

You know what
Ivy's trying to do?

She's trying to kill your noise

by putting her noise
into your head.

You're amazing Miles.

Don't let her take your
sound or your heart.

You got this.

Thanks Calvin.

So what?

We're not friends anymore?

What are you talking about?
Of course we're friends.

Okay.

We left the hotel last night
to give the leftover food

to the homeless.

Really?

That's,

wow!

Well, you kind of
gave me the idea

by telling me how
much food gets wasted.

So this whole time you were
going out helping people

and I made it about me.

I'm such a selfish jerk.

Maybe just a little one.

Come here.

Hey, hey, hey!

Ha ha!

Who's ready for some
cake by the ocean?

Hey?

Calvin!

Come on. Let's do this.

Is it okay if I start again?

Sure.

Take a breath.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

That was for my mom.

Wow!

Woohoo!

Miles.

You've got what it
takes to go all the way!

Ho-oh.

Bravo.

I haven't felt so great.

Well, looks like
its over between us.

Congrats. You're
officially a threat.
