Somebody's Old(Transcript)

Ms. Jackson and the theatre and choir kids are setting up something for Mr. Stain's birthday.

Zoe: So what is all this for?

Ms. Jackson: It is for Mr. Stalin, he doesn't want anything childish in his party. Only bland and grey.

George: Mr. Stalin is always treating us like POWs and not like his own children. In fact he wishes for a world without children.

Kandace: Well that's the worst from him.

Luke: What kind of songs he likes?

Ms. Jackson: He is like a puritan, he doesn't like music or theatre so you have to perform at times other than this. He also doesn't like parties.

Zoe: We also don't like parties.

Ms. Jackson: I meant the ones involving alcohol. I banned them from this school for good anyways. Look kids, this is an adult-only party with no alcohol so you have to help me prepare for it while the other teachers stall him.

Reece: Mr. Stalin is hard to stall.

Ms. Jackson: Yeah.

Just then, Mr. Smith-Marriot ran into the auditorium. He is good at running because he used to play football.

Mr. Smith-Marriot: Mr. Stalin will come into the auditorium.

Jenny: Then get a distraction like play football with him.

Connor: Here.

Connor kicked the football to Mr. Smith-Marriot as he head the ball.

Mr. Smith-Marriot: Thanks and nice one, Connor. Wish you would still be my student but you have to study with Mr. Casey.

Connor: I know.

Mr. Smith-Marriot: Anyways, wish me luck.

As Mr. Smith-Marriot strolls off, everyone started panicking.

George: What are we going to do? If Mr. Stalin sees us, he would kill us.

Ms. Jackson: Okay, I have a plan, we need cake for him but we have no cake.

Reece: Don't worry, I have a Cake-inator gadget.

Luke: Cool, what flavour does it have?

Reece: There's vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, orange, lemon and macadamia.

Ms. Jackson: Since Mr. Stalin is always into bland stuff instead of fun stuff, macadamia.

Connor: But I have a nut allergy.

Ms. Jackson: Okay, lemon.

George: Mr. Stalin hates the Beatles and his least favourite member is John Lennon. Also because John Lennon sounds like John Lemon.

Zoe: But he does like Lenin.

Ms. Jackson: Guys, stick to the job. Maybe we should stick with chocolate.

Reece: Good choice.

Reece blasted the Cake-inator and a chocolate cake appeared in front of them.

Reece: What about a gift.

Ms. Jackson: Skip that one, Mr. Stalin doesn't like gifts.

Zoe: Great, now it's time to get this party ready.

Everyone started setting up the party for Mr. Stalin's birthday.

Song: Cheater by The Vamps

Brad: #Can we talk about your boyfriend? He's a dead end ha #And if I gotta tell you why, it's only gonna make you cry#

Blake: #Let's talk about your boyfriend for a minute #He's got a secret and he's telling you lies, oh what a lovely guy#

Harvey: #I just thought you should know what he is capable of#

All: #Let me tell you 'bout your boyfriend, yeah he's got another girlfriend #Baby I just gotta let you know, you really gotta let him go #Let me tell you 'bout your boyfriend, yeah he's got another girlfriend #And I can hear 'em through the bedroom wall, you know she ain't no friend at all#

George: #Cause everybody knows it and everybody knew before #But no one ever told you girl, well baby that's what I'm here for#

Zoe: #His dirty little secrets are banging on his bedroom floor #Oh he's a fricking cheater yeah, I dunno what you do it for#

Aiden: #I just thought you should know what he is capable of#

All: #Let me tell you 'bout your boyfriend, yeah he's got another girlfriend #Baby I just gotta let you know, you really gotta let him go #Let me tell you 'bout your boyfriend, yeah he's got another girlfriend #And I can hear 'em through the bedroom wall, you know she ain't no friend at all#

Reece: #Maybe this ain't gonna be as bad as you thought #Maybe we don't have to sneak around any more no#

Troy: #Maybe when you leave, you'll end up with me after all #Oh yeah and I can be your boyfriend and you can be my my world#

All: #Let me tell you 'bout your boyfriend, yeah he's got another girlfriend #Baby I just gotta let you know, you really gotta let him go #Let me tell you 'bout your boyfriend, yeah he's got another girlfriend #And I can hear 'em through the bedroom wall, you know she ain't no friend at all #Maybe this ain't gonna be as bad as you thought #Maybe we don't have to sneak around any more no #Maybe when you leave, you'll end up with me after all #Oh yeah and I can be your boyfriend#

Then Mr. Rubie came to the auditorium.

Mr. Rubie: Mr. Stalin is coming, are the kids done setting up?

Ms. Jackson: Yes Bill, kids, get out of the auditorium via the backstage doors.

The children went to the backstage doors while all of the teachers came inside the auditorium and hid. Then Mr. Stalin came to the auditorium. The kids were watching from backstage.

Zoe: How are they doing?

George: I have no idea.

Reece: I don't think Mr. Stalin likes the party.

Blake: Yeah, he is completely abusive.

Then Ms. Jackson came up to them.

Ms. Jackson: Guys, I don't think he likes the party.

Zoe: Well how does he celebrate his own birthday.

Ms. Jackson: Just dinner with family, try to entertain him or something.

Jenny: How? He hates singers.

Ms. Jackson: Trust me, now come on stage.

Zoe: Ms. Jackson's right, c'mon.

Ms. Jackson told the technicians to turn off the lights as the theatre and choir kids started performing something.

Song: Tearin' Up My Heart by *NSYNC

Reece: #It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you #But when we are apart, I feel it too #And no matter what I do, I feel the pain #With or without you#

Harvey: #Baby I don't understand #Just why we can't be lovers #Things are getting out of hand #Trying too much, but baby we can't win#

Blake: #Let it go #If you want me girl, let me know #I am down, on my knees #I can't take it anymore#

All: #It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you #But when we are apart, I feel it too #And no matter what I do, I feel the pain #With or without you#

Troy: #Baby don't misunderstand #What I'm trying to tell ya#

Brad: #In the corner of my mind #Baby, it feels like we are running out of time#

George: #Let it go #If you want me girl, let me know #I am down, on my knees #I can't take it anymore#

All: #It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you #But when we are apart, I feel it too #And no matter what I do, I feel the pain #With or without you#

Zoe: #Tearin' up my heart and soul #We're apart, I feel it too #And no matter what I do, I feel the pain #With or without you#

Aiden: #Tearin' up my heart and soul #We're apart, I feel it too #And no matter what I do, I feel the pain #With or without you#

All: #It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you #But when we are apart, I feel it too #And no matter what I do, I feel the pain #With or without you #And no matter what I do, I feel the pain #With or without you#

Yuto: What do you think?

Mr. Stalin: Janice, why did you make these little maggots sing for me on my birthday? Unbelievable.

Ms. Barnes: But they're my students, a lot better than the rest of my students.

Ms. Jackson: Also Mr. Stalin, do you have the same rights as principal? Well I am the principal and I assigned Reece Brown to form the school's official choir 4 years ago.

Mr. Stalin: Well even though I don't approve it, you still do it anyway. That's why I put the main 6 soloists in detention last month.

Ms. Jackson: You can't do that, they're the most talented people here in this school. This is going to debate whether you'll be fired from position of vice principal or not. Now we are not going to celebrate your birthday because you ruined it.

Mr. Stalin: Ruined it? You ruined it because there are stupid kids singing some boy band song.

Ms. Jackson: Who cares? Get out of the auditorium, we are going to debate whether you'll get fired or not. Go.

Mr. Stalin left the auditorium along with the other teachers. Ms. Jackson went up to the choir and theatre kids.

Ms. Jackson: Are you alright? Mr. Stalin didn't mean anything he said to you.

Reece: It's fine Ms. Jackson.

Zoe: We're taking the party down.

Everyone took the party down and tidied up the auditorium.

Ms. Jackson: That's more I like it. You can perform a song if you want, just to get our minds of Mr. Stalin.

George: Or Joseph Stalin, he was one of the worst dictators in the history of the world. During the cold war actually.

Raphael: I thought it was Napoleon.

George: That was during the Napoleonic wars, we're talking about the cold war.

Reece: 1 2 3 4!

Song: Drown by Bring Me To The Horizon

George: #What doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead #Got a hole in my soul growin' deeper an' deeper #And I can't take #One more moment of this silence, the loneliness is hauntin' me #An' the weight of the world's gettin' harder to hold up#

Zoe: #It comes in waves, I close my eyes #Hold my breath and let it bury me #I'm not okay an' it's not alright #Won't you drag the lake an' bring me home again?#

Brad: #Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down? #Save me from myself, don't let me drown #Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive? #Save me from myself, don't let me drown#3

Troy: #What doesn't destroy you, leaves you broken instead #Got a hole in my soul growin' deeper an' deeper #And I can’t take#

Harvey: #One more moment of this silence, the loneliness is hauntin' me #An' the weight of the world's gettin' harder to hold up#

Reece: #It comes in waves, I close my eyes #Hold my breath and let it bury me #I'm not okay and it's not alright #Won't you drag the lake an' bring me home again?

Blake: #Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down? #Save me from myself, don't let me drown#

Aiden: #Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive? #Save me from myself, don't let me drown#

Luke: #'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own#

New Hope Choir: (harmonises)

Luke: #'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own #'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own#

All: #'Cause you know that I can't do this on my #Who will fix me now? Who will fix me now? #Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down? #Save me from myself, don't let me drown#

Ms. Jackson: That was wonderful, I promise that you will be safe from Mr. Stalin, he won't bother you again.

Jenny: For sure hopefully.

Everyone: (laughs)
