"Sadie's Song"
[Seagulls crying]
[Chatter]
Here you arez, my Larz!
Uh, I'll just leave it here for you.
[Door chime plays]
Sadie, my lady!
I was wondering if I could hang
one of these Beach-a-Palooza
flyers in ...
[Pop music playing]
Sadie? Sadie!
[Music continues]
? I can't help it
if I make a scene ?
? Stepping out
of my hot-pink limousine ?
? I'm turning heads,
and I'm stopping traffic ?
? When I pose, they scream,
and when I joke, they laugh ?
? I've got a pair of eyes
that they're getting lost in ?
? They're hypnotized
by my way of walking ?
? I got them dazzled
like a stage magician ?
? When I point, they look,
and when I talk, they listen ?
? Well,
everybody needs a friend ?
? And I've got you and you and you ?
? So many, I can't even name them ?
? Can you blame me? ?
- # I'm too famous #
- Yeah! Whoo-Hoo!
- Yeah! That was amazing!
- # Haven't you noticed I'm a star? #
Ooh-hoo-hoo!
Awesome!
Wha? No, heh.
I was just ...
- I wasn't ...
- # Haven't you noticed I've made ... #
- Heh. Mm.
- I didn't know you could sing.
Nobody does.
So, um, do you need something?
Oh! I'm just going
around helping Mr. Smiley
hand out fliers
for Beach-a-Palooza this year.
- [Gasps] You should sign up!
- Ehh, why?
Ehh... because your voice is beautiful!
Aw, anybody'd sound fine
singing along with that song.
It's so cheesy and dumb
and ... and catchy.
- And... I know every single word.
- Perfect! Now you just need a routine.
- I can help you put one together.
- Aw, really?
You think people
would want to hear me sing?
Of course they would!
You're great!
Besides, everyone in town
is doing something!
Yeah. You know what?
Yeah! Who cares, right?
[Chuckles] What am I afraid of?
Th-This could be fun!
[Door opens]
Steven: Your house is so cool.
- Just down here.
- Whoa! You sleep in a basement?
- I like to think of it like a bunker.
- [Gasps] Are these all yours?
Yeah, but they're not really my thing.
You can have one if you want.
Ehhhhh... I don't want
to break up a family.
So, now we have the CD.
I guess I can practice singing.
First, we got to figure out
what you're gonna wear.
- Does it matter?
- Ever since my act two years ago,
there's been a rule that
you've got to wear clothes.
[Giggles] Well, I wasn't
planning to go in my underwear.
How about something flashy?
And sparkly.
O-Or wait, what do you think
should be your gimmick?
Whoa. No, no, no.
No gimmicks.
The singing's already a stretch.
Well, maybe... this?
- Or maybe even ...
- That one's pretty!
Eh, I think it's a little much.
I'll just do something comfortable.
[Door opens, closes]
[gasps]
- What's that?! [Footsteps approach]
- We'll do this another time!
[Footsteps continue]
- Hey, Sadie!
- Hi, Mom. You're home early.
I just had to rush home
to show you this!
Look at this little guy I got for you!
- Ain't he the cutest?
- Oh. Thanks mom.
Sadie, what are you doing
hanging out with Greg's boy?
Barb, I knew you delivered mail,
but I didn't know
you delivered Sadie!
- Yeah, my mom's the mailman.
- That she is!
Best dang mailman, woman, or
animal on the force! [Laughs]
At least until they catch me taking
from the "lost mail" bin! [Chuckles]
But that's between us, heh?
So, Steven, what are your
intentions with my daughter?
We're planning a stage show
for Beach-a-Pawooza.
Beach-a-Pawooza!
[echoing]
Beach-a-Pawooza!
Beach-a-Pawooza!
What was that?
[Sighs]
I'm going to sing a song
for Beach-a-Palooza.
What?! Oh, oh, oh oh!
Sadie, you're gonna sing?!
- Yeah.
- Then come on!
We have to start planning now!
- Steven, help me find an outfit!
- Okay!
Uh, you know, I could
probably do this by myself.
It's no trouble.
We'd love to help ya out!
- Right, Steven?
- Right!
Oh, look!
It's your old ballet outfit!
- You're a ballerina?
- When I was like 10.
Oh, it's your swimsuit!
She used to be
a competitive swimmer!
For like a month.
When I was 11.
- Barb, what's this?
- Oh! Look, look!
Remember when I used to drive
you to your softball games?
- I remember when you punched the umpire.
- That's what he gets
for trying to cheat my daughter
out of a double!
And then I wasn't really
allowed in the league anymore.
Them's the breaks!
So what have you got planned
so far for your show?
- Nothing, I guess.
- Well, don't you worry!
Me and Steven will figure out
your show for you!
We'll make sure the world
will hear your voice!
- Well, let's just try to keep it simple?
- What was that?
? I can't help it if I make a scene ?
[music]
? Stepping out of my
hot-pink limousine ?
? I'm turning heads,
and I'm stopping traffic ?
? When I pose, they scream,
and when I joke, they laugh ?
? I've got a pair of eyes
that they're getting lost in ?
? They're hypnotized
by the way I'm walking ?
? I've got them dazzled
like a stage magician ?
? When I point, they look,
and when I talk, they listen ?
? Well,
everybody needs a friend ?
? And I've got you
and you and you ?
? So many, I can't even name them ?
? Can you blame me?
I'm too famous ?
I think we did an excellent job!
We just need to tell Mr. Smiley
to add her name to the flier.
Oh, maybe don't put my name on it.
Yeah!
What if she was a surprise?!
That's a great idea!
She'll be a mystery final act!
[Crowd cheering]
Mr. Smiley: Thank you, Beach-a-Palooza!
You know this next act from
their day job, delivering pizza!
But tonight, they're delivering jokes!
That was a joke. Let me
hear a big round of applause
for Kiki and her ventriloquist dummy!
Kiki, that rude Mr. Smiley
just called me a dummy!
That's just our act, gunga! Why
don't you show them your jokes?
How does a pizza tie its shoes?
- How?
- With a garlic knot!
[Rim shot, laughter]
[Laughs] All right.
Well, we're getting closer
to tonight's mystery guest.
Even I don't know who it is,
and I'm the host!
But first,
Ronaldo Fryman with a lecture
on "rock people:
identification and defense."
I can't believe it.
The fliers really worked!
The whole town is here!
Plus some!
Oh, my Sadie!
Such a big star!
Never even went to the prom
and look at ya now!
Am I on yet?
Sadie Miller!
You're the mystery guest?
- I never even would've recognized you!
- Oh! Hi, Mr. Smiley.
Uh, um... Mm.
How, uh, how are you?
I'm fine, but it looks like someone
here has a case of the showbiz shakes.
You know what an old friend
of mine told me once?
A little smile never hurt anybody.
- Nnnnnn.
- Nnnnn.
[Chuckles nervously]
Awwww, lookin good!
- Thank you!
- Thank you!
[Inhales deeply]
[Sighs]
Gah-ah.
- More sparkles!
- Yes, sir!
Mr. Smiley: Next up,
ladies and gentlemen,
your mailman and "mime!"
[Laughs] Jamie!
[Piano playing]
Oh, it's a box.
He's ... he's ...
he's doing a box.
[Gasps]
Uh-oh. No more glitter.
I'll have to run and get the
emergency supply from the car.
- Guard my girl, Steven.
- [Gasps] Sadie, come back here!
[Man coughing]
- I can't wait for this mystery act!
- You think it's a juggler?
Maybe they'll juggle something sharp.
I'm gonna have my phone ready
in case someone gets hurt.
[Gasps]
- Sadie!
- Uh! I-I can't breathe!
[Breathing heavily]
[Gulping]
Okay, okay,
if you're not gonna come back
and let me work on you,
then let's work on the routine.
- Okay, just let me ...
- Oh, no! You ruined my lipstick!
Never fear!
Steven's here!
[Screams]
Sadie, why did you do that?
Raaah! Because!
- You're just as bad as my mom!
- What?!
Please, mom, don't make me do this.
Make you?
You said you wanted to sing!
Yeah! I did! I did!
I did! I did!
Just like I say lots of things!
Like, "hey, mom, swimming
looks fun!" Then bam!
Suddenly, I'm anchoring a 400-meter
relay for the Beach City Seals!
"Hey, mom, I thought signing up
for softball would be nice!"
Six birthdays later, I'm still getting
nothing but kneepads
and batting helmets!
"Hey, mom, I want to sing
in this year's Beach-a-Palooza,"
And what do I get?
This!
I just thought for once,
I'd get to do things my way,
but you came in and took over
everything, like you always do.
I just wanted everyone to know
how talented my daughter is.
This is not your daughter.
I'm sorry. I ...
Mr. Smiley: Next up, the one
you've all been waiting for.
The one! The only!
Mystery guest!
Aaah!
How did I let this happen?
I don't want to do this!
You never did.
I-It was always me. [music plays]
Give it up for...
Looks like you called it, gunga.
That "mystery guest" bit
had Steven written all over it.

Sadie: # Haven't you noticed
I'm a star? #
? I'm coming into view
as the world is turning ?
? Haven't you noticed
I made it this far? ?
? Now everyone
can see me burning ?
? Now everyone
can see me burning ?
? Now everyone can see me burning ?
