Austin & Ally (2011–2016): Season 1, Episode 19 - Albums & Auditions - full transcript

Subs created by: David Coleman.

Hey, honey, I came up with a cool way
to bring in tons of new customers.

We're going to have a "guess how
many jellybeans in the jar" contest.

You're really gonna give away a
year's worth of music lessons?

Of course not. No one's
ever gonna be able

to tell how many
jellybeans are in the jar.

18,118!

Yes.

Oh no!

Aw.

What's with him?



You just won a year's
worth of music lessons.

- Ugh!
- And this jar of jellybeans.

I won jellybeans?!

Hey, Ally, wanna see the
coolest thing ever?

I've already seen you drink
hot sauce through your nose.

No, this is way cooler.

No way! An ad for your album.

It's being released by Starr
Records in two weeks.

This is so awesome.

Buckle up because
we're in for a ride.

- What up?!
- What up?!

Already buckled up. Avoid the
worst, put safety first.

What up?!

Guess who got a job at
Mailboxes and So Forth.



Here, Ally, these are for you.

Your dad's overdue phone bill,
your application to M.U.N.Y.

And a letter from
your Aunt Sally.

Good news, her rash is gone.

You read our mail?

You can't just go around
reading other people's mail.

My boss never said anything.

Then again, according to this letter from
his girlfriend, that's why she left him.

He can't communicate.

You got an application
letter from M.U.N.Y?

Yeah, it's a music school,
but I'm not interested.

Wait, I thought it was your dream
to go to that music school.

Not any more. I gave up on it.

Why? Because you tanked
your original audition,

which gave you horrible stage fright, and
now you're too scared to ever audition

again because you
could fail miserably?

What?

We're gonna help Ally
get into that school.

I'm not letting her
give up on her dream.

I wouldn't even be putting out
an album if it wasn't for her.

And I wouldn't be managing a guy putting
out an album if it wasn't for her.

And I wouldn't have just eaten 18,118
jellybeans if it wasn't for her.

I probably would've.

When the crowd wants more,
I bring on the thunder.

Because you've got my back,
and I'm not going under.

You're my point,
you're my guard.

You're the perfect chord.

And I see our names together
on every billboard.

We're headed for the top,
we've got it on lock.

We'll make 'em say "hey!"

And we'll keep rockin'.

Oh, there's no way I could
make it without ya.

Do it without ya,
be here without ya.

It's no fun when
you're doing it solo.

With you it's like, "whoa".
Yeah, and I know.

I own this dream.

Because I got you with me.

There's no way I could
make it without ya.

Do it without ya,
be here without ya.

- When's Ally's birthday again?
- February something.

"February something."

Okay, what's her place of birth?

A hospital.

"Hospital."

What are you guys doing?

Filling out Ally's application
for music school.

Let me see that.

"Pickles" isn't a hobby..

And I'm pretty sure her favorite
subject isn't "smart stuff."

- Ugh!
- Told you.

It's "lame stuff," right?

You can't send this mess in.

I'll apply for her online later.

You realize Ally still has to
audition, and she has stage fright.

You geniuses have a plan?

Yeah, we have a plan.

You geniuses don't have a plan.

You know, she keeps calling us
geniuses but something about her tone,

leads me to believe that she
doesn't think we're geniuses.

Hey, it says you can audition
live over the Internet.

I think I know a way
we can do this.

Dez gets free music
lessons, right?

Yeah.

We can record Ally giving
Dez a piano lesson,

then edit the footage to make it seem
like she's doing a live audition.

Yeah, that was our plan too.

But I don't wanna
take piano lessons.

I had my heart set on bagpipes.

It's gotta be the piano.

Fine, but I'm gonna look totally
ridiculous playing the piano in this.

We just need to record Ally
playing some great piano,

so it seems live when we play
it during her online audition.

That's easy, but what if she
has to answer questions?

As long as we get her saying simple things
like "yes," "no," or "nice to meet you,"

we can edit it to make it seem like
she's having a real conversation.

Hey, everybody.

Hey, Ally, do you mind if
I record my first lesson?

I don't care. Go ahead.

Can you give us a more specific answer?
Yes or no?

- Yes.
- I got this.

Hey, Ally, would you
teach me how to kiss?

No!

Now we just need to get her
to say "nice to meet you."

Hey, Ally, how do you
like my new shoes?

- They're nice.
- Nice! Um..

- What's one plus one?
- Two.

Oh, I forgot.. What is it
that vegetarians don't eat?

Meat.

- What's the opposite of "me"?
- Smart.

No, the other opposite of me?

- You.
- Yes!

Why are you asking me
all these questions?

You're being weird.

Can we start our lesson now?
Have a seat, Dez.

You know, I think I can learn much better
from back there, behind the camera.

You think it'll be easier to learn piano
by not actually sitting at the piano?

Yes, Ally.

Yes, I do.

Hey, Dez, wouldn't rather
have Austin give you lessons?

Yeah, I'm a much better
piano player than Ally.

What? I'm a much better
piano player than you.

Can you play this?

Shall we get Ally ready
for her big audition?

Time to call in.

Greetings, Miss Dawson.

Are you ready for your audition?

Yes.

Yes!

You seem a little
unsure of yourself,

but after that last embarrassment you
called an audition, I can see why.

I never thought I'd
see you again.

Nice..

To.. Meet.. You.

You know we've met before.

No..

Yes.

No..

Yes..

No no no no no n-n-n-no.

You're being weird.

What makes you think you
can talk to me like that?

I'm a much better piano
player than you.

Well, you've certainly gotten very
modest since the last time we met.

Well, go ahead. Why don't you show me how
much better a piano player you are than me?

It's working! He's loving it.

Only five minutes to go until the Austin
Moon album is officially on sale.

Aw, I can't believe this
day is finally here.

Thank you so much, Mr. Starr.

Hey, thank me. I'm your manager.

I should get at least
half the credit.

You wanna pay half the hundred
grand I put into this album?

You can give him all the credit.

You all deserve half.
Jimmy deserves half.

Ally definitely deserves half.

Trish deserves half and
Dez deserves half.

That is way too many halves.

Anyway, you guys
are a great team.

And I will see you all tomorrow
night at the album release party.

- All right, bye.
- See you later. Goodbye.

I am really proud of you, honey.

Thanks, Mr. Dawson.

I was talking to my daughter.

Oh right.

This is the best day ever.

Well, it's about to get better.

I happen to have a letter
here for Miss Ally Dawson.

I've already read it, and I think
you're gonna be pretty pleased.

This is from M.U.N.Y.

I've been accepted
to the music school.

They're offering me
a full scholarship?

Congratulations!

But how? I didn't even apply.

Well, we kind of
applied for you.

Then we used footage from Dez's
piano lesson for your audition.

This is amazing. I can't believe
you guys did that for me.

Hey, look how much
you do for us.

None this would be
happening without you.

This is so incredible, honey.

I'm not falling for that again.

This really is the
best day ever.

Austin's album's coming out,

and Ally just got accepted to
the best music school in Miami.

Woo!

They think M.U.N.Y..

"Music University of New York"..

Is in Miami?

I wanna go to that school, but..

I don't wanna leave my friends.

Maybe I shouldn't go.

Honey, it's the best music
school in the country.

You can't just pass up
this kind of opportunity.

I know.

You're right, but..

How am I gonna tell them
I'm moving to New York?

Hi, could make this
one out to Dez?

And then can you make this one out to Dez?
And this one out to Dez?

And this one out to Dez?
And this one out to Dez?

And this one out to Dez?
And this one out to Dez?

And this one out to Dez?

How was that?

Perfect.

What's wrong, Ally?

I have to tell my friends something
and I don't know how to do it.

Practice on me.
You'll feel better.

Okay.

Austin..

Trish..

Dez..

I have to move to New York and I
won't see you guys for a long time.

You're leaving?

But you're my favorite
piano teacher.

How could you do this to me?

No!

Well, that didn't
make me feel better.

What's with Nelson?

Uh..

He's just doing his
vocal exercises.

Listen, I need to talk to you
guys about the music school.

You don't have to
keep thanking us.

We'd do anything for you.
We're a team.

Well..

You know, sometimes
teams change.

Yep, and ours is
changing for the better.

Now that Austin's album is out, we
have a big, long future ahead of us.

And that future could involve, oh, I
don't know, going to another city..

Oh definitely! We're gonna be going to
lots of other cities when we go on tour.

And the best part is the four of
us get to experience it together.

- Actually, I have to..
- Come on, guys, hands in.

On the count of three,
"together forever."

- One, two, three.
- Together forever!

- Forever.
- Woo!

Woo.

Hey, Ally, we got your text.
What's up?

I just wrote a new song.

I want you guys to hear it.

I'm leaving for school.

I'm going far away.

Your career's just
about to start.

And I'm sad I have to depart.

Wow, kind of a downer.

Can I be honest? Uh,
not your best work.

Good thing you're not
going anywhere and

we'll have plenty of
time to fix the lyrics.

I don't think you guys
are really getting it.

Austin, maybe you
should sing the rest.

Okay.

Who knows how long I'll be gone?

I'm so sad I can barely speak.

I'm gonna miss you,
Austin, Dez and Trish.

I'm leaving for New
York in a week.

This isn't really a
new song, is it?

The music school's in New York.

- I didn't know it was in New York.
- Neither did I.

Guys, come on, "M.U.N.Y."?

Music University of New York.

- You knew?
- I'm not stupid.

Ally, I can't believe you're gonna drive
to New York and back every day for school.

That's like 1200 miles.

No, Dez. She's
moving to New York.

And driving back here every
day to hang out with us?

Wow!

This is really hard for me.

I feel terrible.

I feel terrible too.

You're gonna call the school and let
them know you're not going, right?

I'm gonna miss you guys too, but you
know I can't pass up this opportunity.

We didn't know helping you
meant you were gonna leave.

I can't just give up my dream.

But it would nice if you did.

Do you feel this
way too, Austin?

I just can't believe
you're really going.

Our music career is
just getting started.

Don't you guys understand how
important this is to me?

Is this really the
end of team Austin?

Ally's really going
away to that school.

After all the things we've done for
her, like getting her into that school.

Guys, we have to put
ourselves in Ally's shoes.

I mean, she's probably
feeling betrayed because,

she has a shot at making
her dreams come true and..

We're not being supportive.

- She's the one who's leaving!
- I know, I know.

You're mad, but..

That's just misplaced
anger masking the hurt

you're feeling over
losing your best friend.

If we really care
about Ally Dawson..

We need to put away those
feelings so that she can soar.

Wow, Dez, that's great advice.

Where'd you come up with that?

I told you, I put
myself in Ally's shoes.

I don't know how Ally
walks in these things.

My feet are killing me.

I wasn't sure if you
were gonna show up.

As upset as I am
with my friends,

this is still a special day for all of us.
I couldn't miss it.

I'm just glad I get to hang out with my
little girl before she goes off to school.

You sure you're okay
with me going, dad?

Of course. I'm happy for you.

What's up, everybody?
I'm Jimmy Starr.

I wanna introduce you to my next
superstar whose album just dropped.

Give it up for Austin Moon!

Hey, everybody.
Thanks for coming.

Tonight's supposed to be about
me, but it's also kind of a

going-away party for my songwriter
and my best friend Ally.

She just got accepted to a
really cool music school.

Ally, me, Trish and Dez put this together
to give you something to remember us by.

There's no way I could
make it without ya.

Do it without ya.

Be here without ya.

It's no fun when
you're doing it solo.

With you it's like, "whoa".
Yeah, and I know.

I own this dream.

Because I got you with me.

There's no way I could
make it without ya.

Do it without ya.

Be here without ya!

That was touching.

Now can we get back to the record
release party I'm paying for?

Wait wait wait.

Ally, I'm sorry for the
way I behaved, but..

I'm happy for you.

And I'm really gonna miss you.

And I'm sorry too.

Dez made me realize that I was
just upset about you leaving.

Dez made you realize something?

I know, right?

The point is..

I was sad about losing
my best friend, but..

I'm really excited for you.

Wow, you guys are making
me do a "double take,"

which is the second track
off of Austin's album,

which is the reason
we're doing this..

Wait!

There's something I want to say.

My dream has always been
to go to music school.

Watching that video
made me realize..

I'm living my dream
now because..

I'm making music
with my friends.

So what are you saying?

I changed my mind.

I'm staying here with you guys.

- Group hug!
- Okay, come here.

Um..

Dez, that's the wrong group.

Oh right.

All right, let's get
this party started!

Finally.

This song is called "Illusion."

I'll be your entertainer.

I'm putting on a show.

I'm gonna levitate ya.

Leave you wa-wa-wanting more.

I see you're fascinated.

I've got you hypnotized.

White gloves, what you dream of.
A fantasy before your eyes.

Step right up on the stage.

Free yourself from the cage.

Pick a card and guess it, girl.

Here's a lesson, girl.
It's just an illusion.

One, two, three, I disappear.

I'm coming right back,
so stay right here.

Ain't no second-guessing, girl.

I'm impressing, girl.
It's just an illusion.

Somewhere in a dream.

We'll meet again, my baby.

And I promise that
I won't disappear.

I'll be right here.

And I won't be,
won't be, won't be.

Just an illusion..

Yeah, baby!

Step right up on the stage.

Free yourself from the cage.

Pick a card and guess it, girl.

Here's a lesson, girl.
It's just an illusion.

One, two, three, I disappear.

I'm coming right back,
so stay right here.

Ain't no second-guessing, girl.

I'm impressing, girl. But
I'm just an illusion.

You can make this one out to
Dez and this one out to Dez..

All right, dude, I've signed
like a hundred of these.

This is the last one.

Is there anyone else you
wanna make it out to?

Well..

I do have a little Cousin
who just broke his arm.

He could really use
some cheering up.

Could you sign this CD for him?

Of course. What's his name?

Dez.

Good news, Ally, I'm coming
to New York with you.

Trish, mail me.

That's sweet, Nelson,
but I'm not leaving.

I'm staying here in Miami.

And I don't work at Mailboxes
and So Forth any more.

I got fired for reading
the mail and so forth.

Aw nartz!

Do you know how hard it was
to find an envelope this big?

Well, Austin now that your album's
out, who knows what's going to happen?

Concerts, videos, awards..

Limo's, tours, money..

Party's, after party's, after after
party's, after after after party's..

Our lives could really change.

We're going to be
living the dream.

Honey uh, before you lock up could
you please clean the bathroom?

Yup, we're living the dream.
