Austin & Ally (2011–2016): Season 2, Episode 1 - Costumes & Courage - full transcript

Subs created by: David Coleman.

You're still carving that pumpkin?
It's been hours.

It takes time to capture the
perfection that is Austin's face.

Almost done.

Voila!

Amazing. It looks
just like Austin.

Except my hair's parted
on the other side.

Oh, man.

Guess I gotta start over.

Oh.

Guess who got a job at
the Halloweenatorium?



So are you on a break, Trish?

Want to go grab a sand- "witch"?

You're gonna high-five
her for that?

Austin Moon, my
favorite new artist.

Jimmy Starr, my favorite new...

Guy who signed me to
his record label.

That's me.

I wanted to invite you kids to the Starr
Records Halloween party this Saturday.

- What?
- No way!

That's the coolest
Halloween party in Miami.

I heard usher was there last year.
Who's gonna be there this year?

Beyonce? Katy Perry?

A lot of big stars will be
there, but you won't know

who's who because they'll
all be in costume.



Oh.

I just got an RSVP
from Taylor Swift.

- Taylor Swift?
- No way! I love her!

Perfect. I can finally give her
this pumpkin I carved of her.

I think she's wearing
her hair straight now.

Oh, man!

Oh!

Stay away from
Taylor at the party.

Now, here's the deal.

I want you guys to write a new
song for Austin to perform.

I'm performing for a bunch of stars?
How awesome is that, Ally?

Totally awesome. We get to write a song
that the biggest names in music will hear.

Halloween just got
a lot scarier.

You'll be fine.
There's the invite.

Cool, it's at
Brownstone Mansion.

Ooh, I heard that
place is haunted.

Mysterious red slime
oozes from the walls.

Well, at least that's what
it says on the brochure.

See you guys there.

- Bye.
- See you, Jimmy.

Trish, I want to get a cool
costume for the party.

You working tomorrow?

Well, I was planning on getting
fired later this afternoon.

But I guess I can push it one more
day so you can get a discount.

Yes!

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

'Cause 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.

'Cause I got you with me.

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

Do it without ya,
be here without ya.

Okay. When you think of
Halloween, you think of costumes.

Ooh! Maybe the song could be about
the mask we all hide behind.

Like this? Aah!

Austin!

Sorry.

I'm getting us in the mood
to write a Halloween song.

Let's think of things that scare us.
You go first.

Well, obviously I'm scared of
performing in front of people.

Ooh! Sometimes when I burp, I'm
afraid there's an alien in my stomach

trying to bust out.

Don't you have any
fears that aren't...

I don't know,
absolutely ridiculous?

I am kind of freaked out about singing in
front of all those stars at the party.

That makes sense. That's
a lot of pressure.

Remember what you told me that
time we went to the water park

and I was scared to go down
the giant water slide?

Keep your mouth closed at the bottom.
There might be pee in the pool?

Yes.

But you also said no matter how scared I
was, just push ahead and don't look down.

Hey, that could
be a cool chorus.

Yeah.

Don't drink the pee
in the pool...

No no no.

No. I meant don't look down.

Don't look down...

Yeah, that's good too.

Trish, put this pirate costume on the top
shelf, these vampire fangs in aisle seven,

and these swords in
the display window.

I'll get right on it, boss.

Can you help me?

Does it look like I work here?

You're sitting
behind the counter.

Fine.

Oh, how may I help you,
oh valued customer?

Do you have a Charles
Lindbergh costume?

Charles who-to-the-what-now?

Lindbergh.

First man to fly a plane
across the Atlantic. And...

Boring.

Here's an old pilot costume.
Now go away.

Hey, Dez. Great costume.

But didn't you go as
an idiot last year?

Uh, no.

This year my costume's
gonna be a surprise.

I'm just testing out my ghost
hunting kit for the party.

That junk doesn't work.

Oh, really?

Well, my ghost detector says
this isn't a real ghost.

See? It works.

Trish, you messed up.

I asked for a caveman costume
and you gave me a cake man.

Well, I'm going as a cave
woman, so pick something else.

Fine, what about a...

A ninja?

Ninja costumes are all
the way upstairs.

Oh! Be a gladiator.

Oh, a gladiator! Now I
can show off my muscles.

Boom boom.

Works better when I'm
not inside a cake.

So, what do you think of this?

You can't go wrong
being a cute nurse.

I'm not just any cute nurse.

I'm Florence Nightingale.
Founder of modern nursing.

You know what? I think I found
the perfect guy for you.

He's cute, and...

- Do you know who Charles Lindbergh is?
- Duh. Only the first guy to...

He's right over there.
Go talk to him.

Okay, Ally. You can do this.

Just say, "hi. I'm Ally."

Hi. I'm Ally.

I'm Ethan.

Nice Florence
Nightingale costume.

He likes my costume.
Say something funny.

Yep. Good old Flo.

That was not funny.

Nice meeting you.

Nice meeting you too.

Would have been a good
thing to say out loud.

Hey, I've seen worse.

I wish I could be more
confident and cool.

It's Halloween. You can
be anything you want.

You're right.

I'm gonna be...

Galexis Nova!

I love Galexis Nova!

Mild-mannered nuclear
physicist by day.

Butt-kicking intergalactic
avenger by night.

She's confident and fearless.

You're never gonna pull it off.

Hey, that's not nice.

No, I mean she's never gonna
pull it off the mannequin.

The zipper's stuck.

Uh, I'll... I'll get
my costume later.

I have to go. I'm meeting
someone for lunch.

Really, who?

I don't know.

Well, that's suspicious.

What's that all about?

I don't know.

But let's go find out.

I'll bring this
costume back later.

Like I care.

There's Ally.

Why is she with Jimmy?

Why are you staring
at me like that?

I'm just really hungry, man.

What could they be talking
about without me?

Let's find out.

My ghost hunting kit came with
a supersonic sound sensor.

What are they saying?

Well, she asked him if
he had a poopy diaper,

and then he said,
"goo goo ga ga goo."

Dez, you're pointing
at the wrong people.

Give me those. Come on.

I know you wrote it for Austin, but I
played "don't look down" for Taylor Swift,

and she loved it.

She wants to sing
it at the party.

You're kidding.

Taylor Swift wants
to sing my song?

Don't say anything to Austin.
This is just between you and me.

It'll be our little secret.

That was supposed to be my song. I
can't believe she's giving it away.

I can't believe Danny's taking Sarah's
sister to The Prom instead of her.

Drama...

I'm so mad at Ally and Jimmy for giving
away my song, I just want to yell at them!

Oh. Bad idea.

Jimmy's the head of your label.
He can cancel your record deal.

What should I do?

Well, I do know one technique
for dealing with anger.

You write a message to the
person you're upset with.

Tell them how you feel. Then
you get rid of that message.

Symbolically purging the
negativity of your inner psyche.

Okay. I'll give it a try.

"Dear Ally and Jimmy, I'm so..."

"Mad at you guys right now."

"I don't want anything to
do with people who are..."

"Evil gutless rats!"

Oh that is good.

Dez, Dez it worked. I
feel better already.

That's because it's out of
here, and up into here.

Wow, Dez. That's really smart.

Thanks, buddy.

Now we just need to get rid of this text.
Just hit the "don't send" button.

Don't send?

There's no don't send button!
You sent the text!

Oopsie!

What are we gonna do? I don't
want Ally or Jimmy reading that.

Okay. Let's just calm down. It takes
a while for a text to go through.

Evil gutless rats?!

I can explain.

I was mad at you and Jimmy,
so Dez made me do this thing

where I write my feelings
down and not send them.

And then he... He sent them.

Dez! Do you realize
what you've done?

Yes!

I've cured my
friend of his rage.

Why were you so angry?

Because you and Jimmy gave the
song we wrote to Taylor Swift.

We sent it to her because Jimmy
wanted you guys to sing a duet.

It was supposed
to be a surprise.

I'm singing with Taylor Swift?

That's awesome.

What up?

You know you called the head of your
record label an evil gutless rat?

Uh-oh.

Jimmy's gonna be furious
when he reads it.

Maybe we can get his phone at the party and
delete the message before he reads it.

In the meantime, let's flood
his in box with new messages

so he won't get a chance
to read Austin's text.

Yes.

"Hey J-Starr, it's T-Swift.
Looking forward to your party."

"Hey Jimmy, it's Austin. You
are an evil gutless rat."

"Looking forward to your party."

Oh. Hey, there's Austin.

Why isn't he wearing a costume?

Did you find Jimmy yet, Austin?

Ha! Made you do a double take!
Oh yeah.

Wow. Great costume.

Lousy voice.

Hey, guys. Where's Jimmy?

Wow. You two look amazing.

Whoa. You're me!

D-d-d double take.

Boom.

I hope you don't mind. I
borrowed your clothes.

As long as you're not
wearing my lucky underwear.

Oh, I'm not wearing
any underwear.

You can keep the pants.

We gotta find Jimmy.
I'll call him.

- Hello?
- That's him!

- Hey!
- Hey!

No, that's not him.
It's still ringing.

Hey!

You're not Jimmy!

- What are you doing?
- Well, uh...

Bobbing for phones! It's
a Halloween tradition.

Uh...

Jimmy?

Jimmy?

Jimmy? Jimmy?

Oh, hey, J-Lo.

- Ally!
- Right.

Jimmy?

I wish we knew what
costume he was wearing.

I know what costume
he's not wearing.

Austin Moon. Because
I am the only one.

Hey, Austin.

Aw, nartz!

Make you do a double take.

Mmm!

Wow. It's like I'm
looking in a mirror.

A really tiny mirror.

Bam!

We have to find Jimmy
before he reads that text.

Let's split up.

Uh, have you never
seen a horror movie?

You can't just split
up in a haunted house.

That's when one of the
teenagers gets it.

Let's hope it's the tall goofy one.
We're splitting up.

Hold on. Picking up something
cold and soulless.

Oh, hey. It's you.

Jimmy? Jimmy?

Jimmy! Sorry.

Jimmy?

Hey, nice costume.

I'm Ethan.

I know who you are.
We've already met.

We have?

He doesn't recognize me!

Hi, I'm Galexis Nova.

I guess that makes me
Charles Lindbergh.

Nice banter. We're
off to a good start.

Now hit him with some knowledge.

A little known fact about
you, Mister Lindbergh,

you developed the first
artificial heart.

Wow. Cute and smart.

Hey, can I get your number?

He wants my number? He
wants my number! Yes!

Yes!

I didn't give him
my number, did I?

Jimmy?

Jimmy, I've been
looking for you.

Well, I've been
looking for you too.

Oh, man. You checked your phone?

No, I've been too busy working.

Yes!

Anyway I got a big surprise.

Taylor Swift's gonna be
performing with you.

Oh, what?

Taylor Swift? Oh, wow.

That is... That is a surprise
that I did not know.

Guys, great news. I'm
performing with Taylor Swift.

Oh.

- And Jimmy didn't check his phone.
- Oh!

We still need to
delete the messages.

Galexis Nova's got this.

Hey, Jimmy. Can I borrow your phone?
I need to text my dad.

Here, you can borrow mine.

She can't!

"Hey, dad. Still at the party."

Nah, I don't like that text.

I'm gonna delete it.

Delete.

Delete delete delete delete
delete delete delete.

You know, I don't need
to text my dad anymore.

Thanks.

You're welcome?

- Yes!
- Yeah!

I guess I can finally start
hunting some ghosts.

Not that I believe any of that junk, but
they say upstairs is the most haunted.

I should probably get ready for my
performance, so where's Taylor?

Over there.

Taylor Swift is dressed
as Galexis Nova, too?

Much better than the Florence
Nightingale costume she wore last year.

Well, ghost hunter,
finding anything?

- Nothing yet.
- See? I told you.

There are no ghosts.

Oh yeah? Then what's
that moaning?

It's coming from the chimney!

What's that on the wall?

Red slime oozing
out of the walls.

Just like they said
in the brochure.

I'm getting scared. There's
something in here.

I can feel it.

Dez! The chimney!

It's the ghost!

Ah!

You hit Ally!

Ally? Can you hear me?

Yeah, I can hear you.

That's not you?

We just knocked
out Taylor Swift.

Here you go.

Taylor Swift can't perform.
This is all your fault, Dez.

Don't blame me. Blame the ghost.

There wasn't a ghost. Trish
was just messing with you.

I know what I saw.

What you saw was strawberry jam
on the walls and a fog machine.

The ghost put strawberry jam on the
wall and a fog machine in the chimney?

Yes, Dez. Yes, it did.

I know ghosts were real.

What are we gonna do?

We should just tell
Jimmy the truth.

Or maybe we could write all our
feelings down in a text message...

No!

We have a surprise tonight.

Austin Moon will be performing
with a very special guest.

Taylor Swift!

Let's hear it for Taylor!

Taylor! Taylor!

We can't leave Austin hanging.

Wait. Taylor and I are
wearing the same costume.

Ally may have stage fright,
but Galexis Nova doesn't.

I know what to do.

I'll go on stage costume,
perform as Taylor Swift,

and no one will know
the difference.

Guys, I know what to do.

I'll go on stage in costume,
perform as Taylor Swift...

Yeah, we heard you the first time.
You were thinking out loud.

Taylor! Taylor!

Yeah!

Yeah. I could get used to this.

This song is called "don't look down". It
was written by my partner Ally Dawson.

Austin, it's me, Ally.

Taylor got hurt.

Ally?

I can't believe it. You're
actually gonna do this?

Just like at the top
of the water slide.

I'm gonna close my mouth
and not look down.

Okay, but open your mouth
when it's your turn to sing.

Yeah.

Whoa.

I'm walking on a thin line.

And my hands are tied.

Got nowhere to hide.

I'm standing at a crossroads.

Don't know where to go.

Feeling so exposed.

Yeah, I'm caught, in between.

Where I'm going and
where I've been.

But I know there's
no turning back.

Yeah.

It's like I'm
balanced on the edge.

It's like I'm hanging
by a thread.

But I'm still gonna push ahead.

So I tell myself.

Yeah, I tell myself.

Don't look down. Down down down.

Don't look down. Down down down.

Don't look down. Down down down.

Don't look down. Down down down.

It'd be so easy just to run.

It'd be so easy to just give up.

But I'm not that girl
who's gonna turn my back.

There's no turning back.

No turning back.

It's like I'm
balanced on the edge.

It's like I'm hanging
by a thread.

But I'm still gonna push ahead.

So I tell myself.
Yeah, I tell myself.

Don't look down. Down down down.

Don't look down down. Down down.

Don't look down down. Down down.

Don't look down,
don't look down.

Down down down.

You guys were great!

I'm so proud of you Ally. You did it!
You really did it.

I'm proud of you too.

Hey, now you can perform
with Austin all the time.

Yeah!

I don't know I think I was
only able to do that because,

I was pretending to
be somebody else.

Well, mask or no mask. That was
you up there, and you rocked!

I did didn't I?

Maybe someday I could
do that as Ally Dawson.

- Great job Taylor.
- Thanks.

I can't believe people
think you're Taylor Swift.

I can't believe people
think that's Austin.

Okay, one more.
