Blake Of All Trades(Transcript)

George and Zoe were heading to the lab to get some toothbrush-inators because the theatre kids ran out of them.

Zoe: Blake, Reece, do you have any toothbrush-inators?

Blake: Yup, I have about 20 of them. Next to me when I was a band kid.

George: That was you?

Blake: Yeah.

Reece: That was when we were in Year 4. Blake was the lead singer of a band.

Zoe: What band?

Blake: It's called New Hope.

Zoe: Hm.

Reece: We remembered like it was yesterday.

George: The flashback is that way.

Reece: Oh.

Blake: I remembered like it was yesterday.

Scene cuts to 2012, Reece was narrating, while 10-year-old Blake, Reece, James and Tristan were performing.

Song: Year 3000 by Jonas Brothers

Blake: #One day, when I came home at lunchtime #I heard a funny noise#

Reece: #Went out to the backyard to find out if it was #One of those rowdy boys#

Blake: #Stood there with my neighbour called Peter #And a Flux Capacitor #He told me he built a time machine #Like one in a film I've seen, yeah#

Blake and Reece: #He said, I've been to the year 3000 #Not much has changed, but they lived underwater #And your great-great-great-granddaughter #Is doing fine, doing fine#

Blake: #He took me to the future in the flux thing #And I saw everything#

Reece: #Boy bands, and another one, and another one #And another one#

Blake: #Girls there with round hair like Star Wars #Float above the floor #We drove around in a time machine #Like one in a film I've seen, yeah, woo#

Blake and Reece: #He said, I've been to the year 3000 #Not much has changed, but they lived underwater #And your great-great-great-granddaughter #Is doing fine, doing fine #I took a ship to the year 3000 #This song had gone multi-platinum #Everybody bought our seventh album #It had outsold Kelly Clarkson #I took a ship to the year 3000 #This song had gone multi-platinum #Everybody bought our seventh album#

Blake: #He told me he built a time machine #Like one in a film I've seen, yeah #I've been to the year 3000 #Not much has changed, but they lived underwater #And your great-great-great-granddaughter #Is doing fine, doing fine, oh#

Blake and Reece: #He said, I've been to the year 3000 #Not much has changed, but they lived underwater #And your great-great-great-granddaughter #Is doing fine, doing fine, doing fine #He said, I've been to the year 3000 #Not much has changed, but they lived underwater #And your great-great-great-granddaughter #Is doing fine, doing fine#

Blake: #He said, I've been to the year 3000 #Not much has changed, but they lived underwater #And your great-great-great-granddaughter #Is doing fine, doing fine#

Reece: It was fun, right?

Blake: Yeah.

James: Wish we could do this all over again, it's like, we could do this forever.

Blake: (narrating) Then, our principal, Mr. Stalin came up to us.

Mr. Stalin: Oi! What are you doing? No music!

Reece: Mr. Stalin, why?

Mr. Stalin: Don't ask me, boy, music is forbidden in this school.

James: But there's nothing in the rules that music is forbidden.

Mr. Stalin: Come with me.

Blake: (narrating) Mr. Stalin dragged us towards the principal's office and then pressed a big book against his desk.

Mr. Stalin: Now, go to page 143.

Blake turned the book to page 143, there is a handwritten paragraph saying that music is not allowed.

Blake: What?

Reece: It's true, maybe we should stop playing music. We should disband, we will all stop playing music altogether. After 2 years together.

Mr. Stalin: That's right.

Blake: But.

Tristan: It's for our own good, mate.

Blake: (narrating) I was devastated, but at the same time, I was curious. Curious about the book, did Mr. Stalin wrote it like, yesterday? I was curious, but I didn't let it takeover me until one day, we were practising for our play with Jenny.

Jenny: Alright guys, so you still need to practise this part, this is the hardest one yet. Blake, why aren't you focused?

Blake: Jenny, there's something suspicious about Mr. Stalin's rule book.

Jenny: Oh please, that book has nothing to do with Mr. Stalin.

Blake: No, there's something suspicious about it. When Reece, James and Tristan were about to disband in the principal's office, I noticed that the paragraph on page 143 is handwritten unlike the other paragraphs when it is printed.

Tristan: Then why do we have to disband when Mr. Stalin hates us?

James: Maybe he's a puritan, he doesn't like entertainment like those puritans during the English Civil War.

Jenny: Maybe it's time for an adventure, c'mon.

Blake: (narrating) As we were heading towards the hallways of Glory Secondary School, there were clusters of flying goldfish everywhere.

Blake, Reece, Jenny, James and Tristan: Woah.

James: There's so many flying goldfish, what are we going to do?

Blake: Catch them.

Reece: Look, I have a net-inator, but it can only contain up to five goldfish, we need to find out about how much goldfish are there.

Tristan: Okay, 1 2 3 4...

Blake: Woah woah woah woah, we don't need to find an exact count of how many flying goldfish there are, we could estimate how much there are in each cluster. Look, there are 5 goldfish in this cluster, we need to find other clusters there are about the same size and count by fives.

Tristan: So there's 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30! 30 flying goldfish!

Jenny: Good job, Tristan.

Tristan: Thanks.

Reece: Now let's blast about 6 nets.

Reece blasted 6 nets towards the flying goldfish and got them back to the warehouse.

Blake: Good work, team.

Jenny: Now what's next?

Blake: Head to the principal's office and expose Mr. Stalin.

Everyone: Yeah!

Blake: (narrating) We were heading to the principal's office, but there is rubbish all over the halls.

James: What the? Rubbish?

Blake: Look, we can tidy this up.

Reece: By using the un-rubbish-inator, but it only can contain 100 pieces.

Tristan: But how can we count all this pieces of rubbish.

Blake: Look Tristan, there are about 100 pieces of rubbish in one cluster so we need to count in hundreds. There are about 1000 of them.

Tristan: How do you know?

Blake: I'm a genius, but I know that there are 10 clusters of rubbish.

Reece: Time to get this hallway squeaky clean.

Reece removed all of the rubbish with his un-rubbish-inator. Then, the five finally made it to their journey to the principal's office.

Mr. Stalin: Ah, if it isn't Reece Jamie Brown, Blake Edward Thomson-Cheng, James Daniel McVey, Tristan Oliver Vance Evans and Jenny Violet Tran.

Blake: We know there is nothing in the rules that bans music.

Mr. Stalin: Yes there is, on page 143.

Blake: (narrating) I turned the book to page 143 like last year and told Mr. Stalin off.

Reece: Then explain this, you've written this, not the ministry of education.

Jenny: Time to explain this to the teachers, you've written this.

Blake: (narrating) We soon told everyone about Mr. Stalin.

Mr. Hannah: He did what?

Blake: It's true, he vandalise the rule book to ban music from school. That's why Reece, Tristan, James and I disbanded, because of you, Mr. Puritan Stalin.

Mr. Stalin: I didn't mean it, they are kids, they are just imagining stuff.

Ms. Jackson: Don't be so oblivious, Joseph, you're fired!

Mr. Stalin: Janice, you're not principal.

Ms. Jackson: Am now.

Blake: (narrating) That day, Mr. Stalin was fired and Ms. Jackson took his place. We got the band together, and then, we would perform everyday.

Song: Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson

Jenny: #Here's the thing, we started out friends #It was cool, but it was all pretend #Yeah, yeah, since you been gone#

Reece: #You dedicated, you took the time #Wasn't long till I called you mine #Yeah, yeah, since you been gone#

Blake: #And all you'd ever hear me say #Is how I pictured me with you #That's all you'd ever hear me say#

All: #But since you been gone #I can breathe for the first time #I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah #Thanks to you, now I get what I want #Since you been gone#

James: #How can I put it? You put me on #I even fell for that stupid love song #Yeah, yeah, since you been gone#

Tristan: #How come I'd never hear you say #"I just wanna be with you" #I guess you never felt that way#

All: #But since you been gone #I can breathe for the first time #I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah #Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I want #Since you been gone#

Blake: #You had your chance, you blew it #Out of sight, out of mind #Shut your mouth, I just can't take it #Again and again and again and again#

All: #Since you been gone #I can breathe for the first time #I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah #Thanks to you #Now I get, I get what I want #I can breathe for the first time #I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah #Thanks to you #Now I get #You should know #That I get, I get what I want#

Jenny: #Since you been gone #Since you been gone #Since you been gone#

Scene cuts back to the present day.

Zoe: So Mr. Stalin is fired?

Blake: Yeah, but he became vice principal of this school, St. John Secondary School.

George: Then, if Ms. Jackson was principal of Glory Secondary School, then why did she become principal of this school?

Blake: She became promoted, and then became principal of this school.

Zoe: Then what happened to the band?

Reece: We've extended into a choir 4 years ago when we were starting secondary school. It was the best experience ever.

George: Well, we need to head to the auditorium, we've just written another sheet music. Wanna come?

Blake: Sure, let's go.

They went to the auditorium and everyone is on stage already.

Kandace: What took you guys too long?

Zoe: Blake has been telling us a story.

Jenny: I see, come join us, Zoe and George have just written new sheet music.

Reece, Blake, George and Zoe went on stage.

Song: Skyscraper by Demi Lovato

Jenny: #Skies are crying, I am watching #Catching tear drops in my hands #Only silence as it's ending #Like we never had a chance #Do you have to make me feel like there's nothing left of me?#

Reece: #You can take everything I have #You can break everything I am #Like I'm made of glass #Like I'm made of paper #Go on and try to tear me down #I will be rising from the ground #Like a skyscraper #Like a skyscraper#

Danna: #As the smoke clears #I awaken and untangle you from me #Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed? #All my windows still are broken, but I'm standing on my feet#

Blake: #You can take everything I have #You can break everything I am #Like I'm made of glass #Like I'm made of paper #Go on and try to tear me down #I will be rising from the ground #Like a skyscraper#Like a skyscraper#

James: #Go run, run, run #I'm gonna stay right here #Watch you disappear #Yeah, oh #Go run, run, run #Yeah, it's a long way down #But I am closer to the clouds up here#

Tristan: #You can take everything I have #You can break everything I am #Like I'm made of glass #Like I'm made of paper, oh oh#

All: #Go on and try to tear me down #I will be rising from the ground #Like a skyscraper #Like a skyscraper #Like a skyscraper #Like a skyscraper #Like a skyscraper#

James: That's amazing.

George: Thanks.

Kandace: Just wondering, why didn't you get the solo?

Zoe: Because the vocalists are the ones who were with Reece and Blake during primary school.

Everyone: (laughs)
