Austin & Ally (2011–2016): Season 3, Episode 19 - Beauties & Bullies - full transcript

Trish gets the lead role in the school play but she drops out when someone makes fun of her online.

Um... Dez?

What are you doing?

Trying out for the
school play tomorrow.

I'm auditioning for
the role of...

Blacksmith.

Last time I checked, there was no
Blacksmith in "sleeping beauty."

Aww!

I guess I ruined this
trumpet for nothing.

I'm trying out too.

I'm gonna be playing
prince carmine.

Hey, sleeping beauty!



Don't make me kiss you! Oh!

Austin, it's not prince Carmine.

It's prince charming.

I knew that.

I'm auditioning for the
role of sleeping beauty.

Well, you're not gonna get it,
'cause I'm trying out too.

Ooh, two best friends
going after the same role

and only one can get the part...

It's not a big deal.

Whoever's better
will get the part.

- Hm-hmm.
- No hard feelings.

But it's gonna be me.

- Oh ho ho ho!
- Snap!

I don't think so.



Please, I know my lines
backwards and forwards.

"I am sleeping beauty
and that is my castle.

Castle my is that and
beauty sleeping am I."

I am not impressed.
Impressed not am I.

Now, let me show you
how a pro does it.

This is how you play
sleeping beauty.

I think she's actually sleeping.

Wow, she's good.

Real good.

Thanks for auditioning for
sleeping beauty, everyone.

Great hustle out there today.

Unfortunately, you can't
all make the team.

So, playing the role of
prince charming is...

Dez.

- What?
- Oh man!

I wanted to be the Blacksmith.

But what about me?

Moon, you're gonna
be townsfolk ♪2.

♪ 2?!

You'd think I'd at
least be townsfolk ♪1.

No, townsfolk ♪1 is Ally Dawson.

What?

Um...

But I auditioned for
sleeping beauty.

Yes, you did, and you'll
make a great townsfolk.

The role of sleeping
beauty goes to...

Trish de la Rosa.

Oh, yes!

I've never seen anyone sleep
with such authority and passion!

It's just sleeping.

A baby could do it.

And here's a list of
who's playing what.

I'm gonna be the narrator.

- Huh?!
- What?

I'm gonna be the narrator.

You're gonna be the narrator?!

I wanted to be sleeping beauty,
but I'm gonna be a wicked witch.

I'm furious about it!

You'll be great, Trish.

When I saw you up there
sleeping, I just knew

there was no way I was
gonna get the role.

- Oh, thanks, Margo.
- Hm-hmm.

Okay, you can stop
hugging me now.

Sorry, I'm just
so happy for you.

Thank you.

This stinks.

I didn't even get a name,
just townsfolk ♪1.

Why not "Julie who
lives in the town"?

Well, it could be worse.

We could be playing
one of the trees.

Guys, I'm playing
one of the trees!

That's great, babe.
That's what you wanted.

Oh, sleeping beauty, I shall now awaken
you from your slumber with a kiss.

Okay! That's enough
rehearsal for now.

I'm sorry. Did I mess that up?

No, babe, you were great.
Best tree ever!

Are you sure? I can't decide
between an oak tree...

Or a pine tree.

Hmm, can you do an elm tree?

I think.

That's the one.

Ahh, you decided to
go with elm tree.

Good choice.

Maybe we should go over
our lines again, Austin.

You mean our line?

We only have one line each and
you've already made me rehearse it

for like three hours.

And you haven't
done it right yet.

Try it with prince charming.

Fine. Dez?

Excuse me, townsfolk,

do you know where I can find...

Sleeping beauty?

She's in that castle...

Over yonder.

That's not how you're
gonna do it, is it?

It's just two words.

There's only so many
ways you can say it.

Over yonder.

Over yonder.

Over yonder.

And all of those are wrong.

Hey, check it out.

They have a website
for the play.

A bunch of people have comments.

"Trish is gonna be a
great sleeping beauty."

- Hm, I agree.
- Oh, look at this one.

"I've seen Trish
fall asleep in class

and I can't wait to see
her do it on stage."

Nice.

Did anyone say anything
about the townsfolk?

Oh, here's another
one about Trish.

"Trish stinks like
rotten onions.

They should call the play
'stinking beautey.'"

well, that wasn't very nice...

And they spelled "beauty" wrong.

It's okay.

People can say whatever they want.
I don't care.

I'm glad you feel that way, but you might
not want to read the next comment.

"Trish isn't pretty enough to
be playing sleeping beauty.

They should call the play,
'sleeping not-beautey.'"

they spelled "beauty"
wrong again.

And did I mention you
look great today?

- And you smell great.
- Is that a new perfume?

Guys, I know what you're doing.

And you can stop. I'm
fine, I promise.

I'm not gonna get upset about
some stupid comments online.

What about stupid
comments on our locker?

Hmm, a bar of soap and
a cracked mirror.

Oh, let me guess.

I looked into it and
that's what broke it.

Hilarious.

Hey, this isn't funny!

Trish is our friend.
You mess with her,

- you mess with us.
- Yeah, this stops now.

Okay, now, this stops now.

I think they got it now.

Dez, thanks, but I'm fine.

This kind of stuff
doesn't bother me.

Joke's on you guys.

Lavender's my favorite.

Aah.

Wow, Trish is being
so cool about this.

Yeah, I'm more
upset than she is.

Doesn't surprise me.

Trish isn't gonna let some
misspelled insults get her down.

She's as tough as it gets.

Hey, Trish, do you
think my character,

Julie who lives in the town,
should hold a loaf of bread?

Because...

Are you crying?

Yes.

I'm practicing for the
crying part of the play.

The part where s...

sleeping beauty stubs her toe?

Why would someone say such
mean things about me?

Who knows? Maybe they're insecure
or jealous or just plain mean.

Don't listen to them.

You're the most
beautiful girl I know.

Thanks, Ally, but don't tell
the boys that I'm upset.

- Because then...
- Hey, Trish.

Are you crying?

Yes, I'm upset, okay?

But don't tell Dez
or anything...

- Because, I...
- Hey, Trish.

Are you crying?

Yes, I'm upset, but I don't
want to talk about it.

And please don't
tell anyone else

- because...
- Hey, Trish.

Are you crying?

Yes.

How many people can
fit in this room?

Excuse me, townsfolk, do you know
where I can find sleeping beauty?

She's in that castle.

Over yonder.

Please, give her this bread and
tell her Julie says hello.

Stick to the script!

Meanwhile, back at the castle.

- Huh?!
- Wait, what?

You're gonna sleep for 100 years
because I totally put a curse on you!

Yay, evil!

Cut!

Margo, I know you're
just subbing for Trish

while she's out sick, but you
got to keep your eyes shut.

I know. I'm just not as
good of a sleeper as Trish.

How much longer is
she gonna be sick?

Well, if she's not better soon,
you'll be playing sleeping beauty,

so you'd better work on it.

I will. I'll go home and
practice sleeping tonight

for... for at least
eight to 10 hours.

- You, less perky.
- Okay!

You, lose the bread and
your name's not Julie.

And, you...

Great job with that
"over yonder."

Don't feel bad, Margo.
You're doing great.

Thanks, Ally.

Oh.

Okay, you can let go of me now.

Oop.

That girl sure likes to hug.

So what's the deal with Trish?

She hasn't been to
school for three days.

I keep trying to call her, but
she hasn't been answering.

She must be really sick.

Carrie and I saw her down
at shredders last night

- and she looked fine.
- What?!

She says she has this weird flu that
only affects her during school hours.

Hey, Ally.

I mean...

Hey, Ally.

I know you're not sick.

Fine, you got me.

Trish, this is ridiculous.

I'm your best friend. You
didn't have to lie to me.

I didn't want to
get you involved.

It was my problem, not yours.

But you don't have to
deal with this alone.

I'm here for you.

You know what, I'm gonna go online
and give the person who started this

a piece of my mind.

Ha!

"'Sleeping not-beautey'?

Well, you spelled
'beauty' wrong.

It's just 'y, ' not 'e-y.'

you better spell-check yourself
before you wreck yourself."

Ally, you don't get it.

This stuff was hard
enough to ignore

when it was just some
random online bully.

Now it's out of control.

People have been posting mean
pictures, prank-calling me.

I can't even walk down the halls
without everyone laughing at me.

I understand, but you can't just
keep calling in sick every day.

You're right. I can't.

Good. I'm glad you
agree with me.

That's why I'm dropping
out of school.

I never thought Trish
would quit school.

I know. It's weird.

It's not like her
to quit something.

I mean, sure, she gets fired
a lot, but she never quits.

I know how she feels.

There is always somebody who has
something nasty to say after we perform.

I just wish we could make Trish
realize that we have her back.

I know.

How about we do what we do best?

Yeah!

We'll put on a puppet show!

I meant write a song.

Right...

That the puppets will sing.

So how are those posters coming?

The show's tonight and I
want butts in bleachers.

Mine's done.

Well, except for the
spelling, good job.

Wait a minute, look how
Margo spelled "beauty."

"B-e-a-u-t-e-y."

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Yeah, it's not
"e-y." It's "e-e-e."

No, Margo's the bully.

You mean, the "b-u-l-l-e-e-e"?

Yeah, close enough.

Hey, Trish, listen. I
just wanted to say...

if you're here to talk me
into coming back to school,

you're wasting your breath.

I keep trying to tell
you we're here for you,

but you don't seem
to be hearing me.

You left us no choice.

We had to write you a song.
Come on.

Hit it, Austin.

Oh, thanks, guys.

That was beautiful.

But I just can't show my
face at school again.

Sorry.

I told you we should
have done a puppet show.

Right, Mr. sock-imoto?

Oh, there you guys are.

The song didn't work.

Trish isn't coming.

Too bad.

She'll miss us getting back
at Margo during the play.

Wait, get back at Margo?

Yeah, Margo's the bully.

- Margo's the bully?!
- Margo's the bully?!

Margo's the bully?!

I told you to put
that thing away.

Sorry.

Okay, guys, game time.

The play's starting. Let's go.
Let's go.

Move it! Come on.

Wait, wait. Hold on, hold on.

What do you think they meant
by "get back at Margo"?

And don't answer with a puppet.

- What?!
- Huh?!

Today is my sixteenth birthday.

I'm the happiest
princess in the land.

Happy Birthday.

Prince charming, you're two
acts and 100 years early.

This isn't in the script.

I have a present for you.

I wasn't expecting a gift.

What a surprise.

Open it.

It's a skunk.

This is disgusting!

Dez, what are you doing?

Showing Margo what
it feels like.

Who's stinking beauty now?

That'll teach you to
bully our friend.

Yeah!

Stop!

Trish, you showed up.

Yeah, I decided I was done being a
victim, but I didn't expect to see this.

But Margo's the bully.

Yeah, but making her feel bad
doesn't make me feel any better.

And messing with her makes
you just as bad as she is.

Time out! What's going on here?!

Margo wrote some mean comments about
me online and things got out of hand.

Margo, you did that?

Yes, but... I just
wrote that stuff

because I guess I was jealous.

You really hurt my feelings.

I'm sorry, Trish.

I know you're pretty.

And you definitely don't
smell like onions.

Thanks, I think.

Maybe next time, you'll think twice
before you do something like that.

Margo, we'll discuss this later.

Now, hit the showers.
You smell like skunk.

Trish, you know you could
have come to me, right?

You could always talk to
a parent or a teacher.

I didn't think you'd understand.

A lot of us have dealt with
what you're going through.

When I was a kid, they used to
make fun of my long, curly hair

and my high, squeaky voice.

Seriously?

It took a lot of courage for
you to come here, Trish.

Well, it was easy when I have great
friends like you by my side.

Now let's do this play.

I'm gonna play sleeping beauty,

and I don't care what any
of you people think!

But I hope you like the show.

Excuse me, townsfolk, do you know
where I can find sleeping beauty?

She's in that castle!

Over yonder.

Give her this banana and tell
her Ann-Marie says "bonjour."

I awaken thee with a kiss.

I said I awaken
thee with a kiss.

Guys, I think she's
really asleep.

She's so good.

Ever after.

We think bullying
is a serious issue.

Just to be clear,
we're against it.

Anyone can get bullied. It
doesn't matter who you are.

And check out some of these real
comments people said about us.

"Calum, you got a big forehead."

Seriously?

Oh, here's a clever one.
"Laura is an idiot."

Hmm.

"Raini Rodriguez is annoying
and makes me want to vomit."

Well, I hope you're not watching
this show on a full stomach.

"I hate Ross lynch
because he's ugly,

stupid, weird, untalented,
and he gets on my nerves."

Wow, I think they pretty
much covered everything.

Think before you post, guys.

Are these things you'd
say to someone's face?

How would you feel if
your principal, mom,

- or grandparent saw it?
- Oh, you're lucky

my grandma doesn't know
how to use the Internet.

Because she'd have a thing or two
to say about the idiot comment.

But seriously, as actors,
we're used to mean posts.

We don't like them, but it
just comes with the job.

These are just a
few mean comments.

But if someone's continuously
harassing or insulting you,

that's bullying. You
should let someone know.

Talk to a friend, a
sibling or an adult.

It might not seem like it,
but there's always someone

who'll be able to help.
You're never alone.

And a little piece of advice:

If you're thinking about saying something
mean about someone, just don't.
