Sabrina's Secret Life (2003–2004): Season 1, Episode 21 - Greendale Idol - full transcript

At the witches' academy, the Sabrina and Cassandra learn about the dangers of using magic carelessly. After class, they hear that the Teen Talent Competition is coming to Greendale, and the winner gets to compete in the finals on television! Sabrina and Cassandra up the stakes and decide to compete-- without magic-- for a date with Harvey to the backwards dance (girls ask the boys). Both contestants worry about their back-up bands lack of talent. Without cheating per se, Cassandra enlists the help of her Aunt Enchantress to cast a spell. When Sabrina hears an angelic voice practicing at school, she assumes that it must be Cassandra using magic! Sabrina decides to cheat since it seems Cassandra did it first. Sabrina's spell makes everyone think she sounds terrific singing with her dissonant band! Almost immediately, people in Greendale begin acting strange; even Mr. Snipe agrees to fix grades for a bribe! In the midst of this madness, Maritza finds enough courage to also compete in the contest. The chaos worsens when Cassandra feeds Tiffany and Margaux (her band) magic "latte." While audience members riot and throw chairs at one another, the judges solicit bribes for the winning title. In the midst of the pandemonium, Maritza performs. Sabrina recognizes the sound of her angelic voice as the one she earlier mistook for Cassandra! Sabrina finally recognizes that all the chaos was caused by her cheating and careless use of magic. After Sabrina convinces Cassandra that they are responsible, they pool their magic to return Greendale to its peaceful status. With everyone in their right minds again, the judges declare Maritza the winner! Maritza takes Harvey to the backwards dance, but is gracious enough to let her best friend steal a couple of dances.

♪Sabrina's Secret Life!

Snipe: After the
Incantation Incident of 1642,

the warlock philosopher Fineas
the Finnicky noted that the

actions of a single individual
can conversely - -- and dare I

say -- adversely affect the
mortal world - -- which makes

a witch or warlock's actions
within the realm of the mortal

world that much more
significant For example: even

a relatively simple spell --
floribundus luxuritatus --

could have totally
unforeseen consequences Ahhh!

Normalis restoratus.

That was just a
small demonstration,

but you can see how it's our
duty to understand how our

magic could affect others.

Cassandra?



Cassandra!

Uh...

pi times the radius squared?

That's the answer...

right?

Sabrina, can you explain to
Cassandra what we've covered

in class today?

We can't always anticipate the
results of our magic -- and

that's why rules and stuff
have been set up for when we

use magic.

Like -- if we all did
whatever we wanted to do,

who knows what would happen.

Oh, so, then it's
like, do unto others,

or something like that.

Were you listening
at all, Cassandra?

Oh, right, rules.

They're great and
all for school,

but, like, in the real world,
it's every witch for herself.

If everyone felt that
way, there would be anarchy!

Riots in the streets!

Society would collapse
and cease to function!

Mr. Snipe, You may
want to switch to decaf.

Huuuurrrgh!

Gee, you don't
really feel that way,

do you, Cassandra?

Like duh!

Yes I do!

The only time using magic to
get what you want is bad is if

you get caught doing it.

Anyway, I've got more
important things to think

about -- -- like who I'm going
to ask to the backwards dance.

Keep your paws off
Harvey, Cassandra!

He's mine!

If you- wha?

Hey, Maritza -- what's up?

Can you believe it -- Teen
Talent Quest is having a

competition right
here in Greendale!

No way!

Really?!

Way!

In two weeks!

And the winner gets
to go on the finals!

And be on TV!

Yahhhhhh!

You're not really thinking
of trying out for Teen Geek

Quest, are you?

Aren't you?

Yeah, right?

It's only like the
lamest thing I've ever seen.

You're just jealous
because you can't sing.

Can to!

Yeah right!

Can to!

Prove it.

Put your money
where your mouth is,

Spellman.

I'm listening.

Harvey.

Harvey!

Yeah.

The winner gets to ask
Harvey to the backwards dance.

What's the matter - you a
little lickin' chicken?

Bockka bock bock!

No tricks?

No tricks.

Coven's honor?

Coven's honor.

Why did I do that?

If I lose she gets to
ask Harvey to the dance!

It's only one dance.

And what was that
coven's honor thing?

Uhhhh, uhh it was nothing.

I've gotta kick Cassandra's
you-know-what -- and you've

just volunteered to help me.

We're gonna enter the Teen
Talent Quest contest and win!

You and me!

You're nuts.

I can't sing in front
of a bunch of people.

The only time I
sing is in he shower!

Hmmm.

Then I need to find a band.

What about Harvey?

Maritza, you're a genius!

So, what do you think?

Do we rock or what?

Uh, well...

That good, huh?

If I didn't hear
it for myself,

I wouldn't believe it.

So uh -- you gonna
hook up with us?

Look, you guys are
so awesome together,

I don't want to uh,
throw anything off.

Hmmm.

But, yeah, I'd love to.

It'll be a blast.

Awesome!

Didn't I tell you dudes?

Hi, Harvey.

Hey Cass, check it out.

Brina just joined our band.

What?!

We're going to enter
the Teen Talent Quest.

No tricks, huh?

No trick.

I was just being smart.

Grrrrr!

We'll see how smart you are!

So we form a band and
enter the Teen Talent Quest

competition...

You mean like being up on
stage -- and not being judged

on our looks?

Do you know what those hot
stage lights would do to our

hair?!

They're like a
million degrees!

Frizzies!

Well, if you won't help me,
then maybe I'll have to find

two new best friends who will.

Like did anyone say
we wouldn't help.

I mean, like, when
we win the contest,

we'll all be even
more popular than ever!

Aahhh!

Man, these two stink!

I've gotta fix this --
Ohhh, I promised that little

half-witch I
wouldn't use magic.

But I didn't say that I
wouldn't ask someone else to

use it!

Aunt Enchantra?

Hi-eee.

It's your favorite niece!

Great.

Better -- sort of.

Hahh...

Tomorrow, same
time, same place.

See ya Sabrina!

Later dude!

Cha, catch ya later.

(singing)

That's so beautiful!

Cassandra!

You cheating little witch!

The little mall rat beat
you to the punch, huh?

So do what I would do...

cheat, and get even.

I want to win and be
on Teen Talent Quest,

but I don't want to
cheat to do it...

Losers never prosper.

That's cheaters never prosper!

Whatever.

And she's going to get to
ask Harvey to the dance...

What good is being a witch
if you can't act like one?

But we swore on
the witch's oath.

Cassandra probably had
her fingers crossed.

Well...

I had my shoe laces crossed.

Good enough!

Let's go find a spell
and make some magic!

I guess cheating's okay...

as long as someone
else does it first...

Ah, here's one!

Shooting star, blaze
of gold, break the

bank before I get old.

We play our song,
the best you've heard.

You take to heart
each rockin' word.

Got no time for
rules and woes.

It's rock and roll,
so anything goes....

Well what do you think?

I like it!

Shooting star, blaze of
gold, break the bank 'fore

I get old.

We play our song,
the best you've heard.

You take to heart
each rockin' word...

Got no time for
rules and woes.

It's rock and roll,
so anything goes.

Awesome, Sabrina!

Can we sing it
for the contest?

You think it's that good?

Are you kidding?

It's amazing!

Come on, let's give it a shot.

Hold it, Harvey!

Are you guys tuning up?

No, we're playing the
song for your lyrics.

I guess it didn't work.

Sabrina, why did
you stop playing?

You're fantastic!

Yeah, you rock!

Really?

I guess we didn't
need any magic.

Okay, boys -- take
it from the top!

Heeeyy!

Shooting star, blaze of
gold, break the bank 'fore

I get old.

We play our song,
the best you've heard.

You take to heart
each rockin' word.

Got no time for
rules and woes.

It's rock and roll,
so anything goes...

Spectacular!

So there we were,
playing this new song,

and we had, like a
zillion people watching us!

Even Mr. Snipe was there.

It was sooo cool!

Wow, I wish I could have seen
Mr. Snipe rocking and rolling.

Uh, Sabrina, I have a
confession to make.

Okay, Ritz -- spill!

Well, I decided that I wanted
to try out for Teen Talent

Quest, too...

so I signed up...

You already were
with Harvey's band so,

I thought it was okay...

That's awesome, Maritza!

Oh, good!

I was worried.

I thought you might be mad,
but I really wanted to see if

I could get over
my stage fright.

Just because we're friends
doesn't mean we can't compete

with each other.

It'll be fun!

Two peach, mango and
nectarine smoothies,

please.

Say -- you're Sabrina!

I saw your band.

You rock!

Like the best!

Wow!

Your first fan!

Yuck -- this tastes
like... dishwater!

So?

It's like you said in
your song -- anything goes.

A "D"?

UGHH!

It could be worse
-- but not much.

Not very encouraging, girls.

With grades like that, you're
not going to get into a good

university.

But there is something we
can do to make them better.

You're not gonna make
us take the test over?

It was hard
enough the first time.

Who said
anything about a test?

Maybe something will
appear in my left hand,

that will make my right
hand change your grade...

Are you talking
about a bribe?!

Did I say
anything about a bribe?

Will you take a check?

It had to be some kind
of test -- you know,

for ethics class.

I wouldn't be so
sure, Smellman.

You see the way he
snapped my check up?

Oh well, I got an
"A", and you didn't.

I wonder if that would
work in biology class...

Why do I get the
feeling this is my fault!

Don't sweat it.

Just sing your
song and you'll win.

It's not the contest
I'm worried about.

Weird things have been
happening, Salem.

People are acting strange.

Mr. Snipe took a bribe from
Cassandra for a better grade.

And the problem is?

Salem!

Announcer: Up next in the
Teen Talent Quest is

Sabrina and the Harv-Tones.

Wish me luck.

Who needs luck when
you've got a good spell?

Shooting star, blaze of
gold, break the bank 'fore

I get old.

We play our song,
the best you've heard.

You take to heart
each rockin' word.

Got no time for
rules and woes.

It's rock and roll,
so anything goes...

The best I've ever heard.

That little half-witch!

Good thing I came
prepared to double-cross the

double-crosser!

We're on next.

Here -- drink this.

What is it?

Just a little
potion -- I mean,

a latte my aunt whipped up.

It's good for
your vocal chords.

Shooting star, blaze of
gold, break the bank

'fore I get old.

Hahhh!

Something tells me
this is not a good thing.

Whew.

Quite the latte huh?

Like we've been
thinking, Cassandra.

That's a first.

Like why should you
always be the star?

Yeah, we've
decided to be a duo.

You're out of the band.

Huh?

What was that all about?

I just got a little potion
from Aunt Enchantra to help

Tiffany and Margaux's singing.

It would've been fine if your
spell hadn't mixed with it,

Miss No-Magic!

For fifty dollars, I'll
give you the highest score...

What?

I'll do it for forty-five!

What are you talking about?

Hey, it's rock and roll.

Anything goes!

How 'bout forty?

Cassandra!

Don't look at me.

That's from your spell.

Seventy-five bucks and
the competition's yours!

I don't have a band.

Make it a hundred and you
don't even have to perform!

Oh let me get my checkbook.

What's gotten in to everybody?

Nice hat.

Aaahhh!

Haahh!

I've got to stop this!

(singing)

That voice again!

Oh, no!

It was Maritza!!

Not Cassandra!

Cassandra didn't cheat
-- at least not yet.

Oh this is all my fault!

Unleashed a spell
that has not gone well.

Return to me, so
they can be free.

It's not working!

The spell's gotten
too out of control!

We have to do
something, Salem!

I am doing something.

I'm watching.

I mean we've got to
figure out what went wrong!

Well, from what you
told me about Mr. Snipe,

sounds like your spell was
already starting to go wrong

-- and then when it crossed
with Cassandra's potion,

it got stronger --
and it's spreading.

You've gotta help
me stop it, Salem!

Wish I could -- but it's
spell-casting 101 kiddo.

You broke it,
you gotta fix it.

Aaahhhhh!

We judges have come
to a decision, man.

The title of Greendale Teen
Talent Quest winner -- will go

to the highest bidder!

What are you doing?

Trying to win.

What do you think?

Bribery and
cheating is no way to win.

I guess Mr. Snipe was right --
if you don't follow the rules,

then everything breaks down.

No one wins.

I do -- as long as my
check doesn't bounce.

And all bribes, ah I mean,
bids will be in cash only!

No more checks!

And I left my
ATM card at home.

Can you loan me a few bucks?

Cassandra!

All right, since there's
no way I can win anyway,

we might as well play fair.

Maybe together,
we'll be strong enough.

Return things to
the way they were.

Playing by the
rules, we prefer!

Leave no memory
of magic behind.

The best shall
win, the judges find.

What happened?

We've made our decision on
Greendale's winner of the Teen

Talent Quest.

The winner, and the performer
who has earned the right to

compete on the televised
show finals is -- Maritza!

Way to go Maritza!

I know you feel that you can
make up rules as you go along,

but this is unacceptable.

But you asked for
the money, Mr. Snipe.

Honest!

I was very serious when I
spoke to you about witches and

ethics.

We'll go over the subject
after school -- for the next

month.

A month?!?

Uh, Mr. Snipe.

It wasn't Cassandra's fault.

It was mine.

I thought Cassandra cheated
in the Teen Talent Quest

competition -- so I did, too.

But she hadn't --
not yet, anyway.

I used some magic I
couldn't control.

Now I know we have
to play by the rules.

Thank you, Sabrina,
for telling the truth.

But Cassandra took
advantage of the situation.

You both have
detention -- for a full month.

Hahh...

You didn't have to
do that, you know.

You made the bet
with Cassandra,

not Maritza.

I know, but after
everything that happened,

I wouldn't have felt right
asking Harvey to the dance.

You look great, Maritza.

Are you enjoying the dance?

Yeah, but I would enjoy
it more if you danced with

Harvey.

But he's your
date for tonight.

But he's your boyfriend.

You should dance with him.

Go girl!

...take to heart
each rockin' word.

Got no time for
rules and woes.

It's rock and roll,
so anything goes...
