OK, Teach. Teach. Teach. Alright, look, here’s the deal. I’ve got a hangover. Who knows what that means?
Doesn't that mean you’re drunk?
No. It means I was drunk yesterday.
Freddy It means you're an alcoholic.
Wrong.
Freddy You wouldn't come to work unless you were an alcoholic. Dude, you got a disease!
Mmm-hmm. What's your name?
Freddy Freddy Jones.
Mmm, Freddy Jones, shut up!
Are you going to teach us anything? Or are we just going to sit here?
I want to learn from my teacher.
Freddy I dunno... burn stuff?
Freddy What are we gonna play?
Uh, you don't have to worry about that. We have awesome material, which I wrote.
Let's hear it.
What?
Let's hear your song.
I'll play you my song, if you wanna hear it. Thing is, I just want you to keep in mind that...I wrote it in like, 15 minutes, and uh, it's not done yet, and you might not like it-
Freddy Just play the song, Schneebly!
Okay! I will sing it for you, just, uh, let me get in the zone, I wasn't planning on unveiling it, but I will sing it. Teeth of the tongue, and the lips. [performs vocal exercise] Okay, it starts off...a dark stage, and then a beam of light. and then you can see me and my guitar. [imitating his guitar] Dew-neew-dew-neew... " In the end of time, there was a man who knew the road, and the writing was written on the stone." And then a thin layer of fog comes in around my ankles. Roadies, that means dry ice, we're gonna talk about this later. "In the ancient time, an artist led the way, but no-one seemed to understand." Chimes, Freddy. "In his heart he knew, the artist must be true, and the legend of the rent was way past due!" And, Katie, you come in with the bass! [imitating the bass] Rim-bim-bim-bim-bim-beru-beru-bum-bara-bara-bara-bum-bum-bum! "Well, you think you'll be just fine without me, but you're mine! You think that you can kick me out of the band?" And then, Zack, you come in with a face-melter. [imitates the guitar] Rew-new-new-didli-new-didli-new-didli-new! Okay? "Well, there's just one problem there, the band is MINE! How can you kick me out [high pitched] of what is mine?" And then, sh- "Hawaii Five-O". You see that show? Okay. Well, there's a drum solo in it, that goes...shugadugadugaduga! "You're not hardcore, unless you live hardcore" And then, that's where I want the backup singers to be all like, "No, you're not hardcore. [high pitched] No, you're not hardcore! [reverts to normal singing voice] Unless you live hardcore. [imitating backup singers] Unless you live hardcore! [back to his own voice] But the legend of the rent, was way hardcore! BOOM! Big old explosion, some, like, confetti comes down. Anyway, that's all I got so far, it's a work in progress.
I liked it, Mr. Schneebly. I thought it was really catchy.
Thank you.
Freddy Um, are we going to be goofing off like this every day?
Uh, we're not goofing off, we're creating musical fusion.
Freddy Well, are we going to be creating musical fusion every day?
Yeah, get used to it.
[Freddy smiles]
If you wanna rock, you gotta break the rules. You gotta get mad at The Man, and right now I'm The Man. That's right, I'm The Man, and who's got the guts to tell me off? Huh? Who's gonna tell me off?
Freddy Shut up, Schneebly!
That's it, Freddy. That's it! Who can top him?
Get outta here, stupid.
Yes, Alicia.
You're a joke. You're the worst teacher I've ever had.
Summer, that is great. I like the delivery because I felt your anger.
Thank you.
You're a fat loser, and you have body odor.
All right. All right! Now is everyone nice and ticked off?
Yeah!
Good! Time to write a rock song! Now what makes you mad more than anything in the world? Billy?
You.
Billy, we've already told me off. Let's move on.
You're tacky and I hate you.
Okay, you see me after class.
Freddy I'm just saying, name two great chick drummers.
Sheila E? Meg White from The White Stripes?
Freddy She can't drum!
She's a better drummer than you. At least she has rhythm.
Freddy, where are your sleeves? And what have you done to your hair?
Freddy It's called punk.
Well, it's not school uniform. [pulls Freddy's sleeves back down]
Miss Mullins, you're The Man.
Thank you, Frankie.
[Frankie and some of the other students giggle behind her back.]
So, his name really wasn't Mr. Schneebly?
Freddy Nah, it was, like, Dewey somethin'...
What about the project?
Wake up, Marco. There was no project.
He just wanted us to play a show so we could make some money.
I can't believe we weren't getting graded on any of this.
Freddy What are you so bummed about? We had a three week vacation. Yeah, it was a waste of time, but it was a lot better than school.
It was not a waste of time.
Freddy Hate to break it to you, bro, but yeah, that's what it was.
You're an idiot.
Freddy Hey, shut up!
No, you shut up!
Freddy Hey, you wanna go?!
Hey, if you touch him, I'll shove those sticks down your throat, got it?! [Freddy retreats] [to class] Mr. S was cool. We worked too long and hard not to play the show!
Freddy Okay, so what are we supposed to do?
I say we get out of here and play the show.
Freddy Front door was open.
Why aren't you guys in school?
We did what you told us. We stuck it to the Man.
Forget about everything I told you. Look, I'm a loser, okay? You listen to my advice, you'll end up like me with nothing.
Freddy Come on, man, quit goofing around. This is serious business. We're on a mission. One great rock show can change the world. [bus horn honks from outside] Look out the window.
No way... That is so punk rock...
What's wrong?
'What's wrong?' Summer, didn't you hear we lost?!
Freddy Chill out, dude. Rock isn't about getting an A. Sex Pistols never won anything.
Don't let the Man get you down.
You gotta cheer up, we played a great show.
We did, didn't we? It was unbelievable, wasn't it?!
Yeah.
