Nana
[Nana Noodleman finds Buster curled up in his drawer after Suki told him he was not good enough]
Oh, for heaven's sake.
Buster
[sighs]
What can I say, Nana? I'm a failure.
Nana
Oh, poppycock.
Buster
I was reaching too high.
Nana
Honestly! One negative comment, and it's all, woe is me!
Buster
Nana, come on. She said I'm not good enough. I mean, heck, I've just been told that my destiny, all of my hopes and dreams, uh, they all end right here!
Nana
Well, what did you expect? That she would drop to her knees and declare you a genius? Roll out the red carpet for the great Buster Moon!
Buster
She ran me off the road into a canal!
Nana
Well, you're still in one piece, aren't you?
Buster
Well, yeah, but!
Nana
Well, anyone who dares set out to follow their dreams is bound to face a lot worse than a dip in the canal. [one of Nana's penguin butlers appear] Ah, Hobbs. I found him. Uh, bright the car around, will you? That's a good chap.
Buster
I just thought she'd at least see we deserved a shot.
Nana
Never mind what this person you don't even know said. Do you think you're good enough?
Buster
Of course, but!
Nana
Then you must fight for what you believe in; guts, stamina, faith. These are the things you need now, and without them. Well, maybe that scout was right. Maybe you're not good enough. [leaves but then comes back to see Buster ponder over what she said]
Buster
[Buster visits Ash at a rock club]
Wow! Heh. You were great out there.
Ash
I gotta go back out there for an encore.
Buster
Okay. Hey, what are you doing after the show?
Ash
Uh, nothing.
Buster
Well, listen. I know this is a crazy short notice, but you always said you'd come back with us when the time was right.
Ash
Of course!
Buster
Well, this is that time!
Rick
[the rock club's manager Rick rudely pushes past Buster]
Here, paycheck. [hands Ash her paycheck]
Buster
I'm gettin' the gang together to go audition for this huge show!
Ash
Just-just a second. [to Rick] Hey, Rick, how come you're only paying me half what the other acts get?
Rick
I pay what I think you're worth, sweetheart.
Ash
Oh, okay. See, I have this rule about not letting guys like you tell me what I'm worth, so, you know, unless I get paid like everyone else, I'm out of here.
Rick
[chuckles]
This is the only club in town. Where else you gonna play?
Ash
I have no idea, but I'm sure as heck not sticking around here. [to Buster] Let's go. [she and Buster start heading out]
Rick
Whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. You-you got to do the encore. Hey, Ash!
Ash
Deal with it, sweetheart!
Porsha
Oooh. Can I try?
Buster
No-no-no-no-no-no, I can't let you jump off here?
Porsha
Daddy! He won't let me jump!
Jimmy Crystal
Hey, Moon, come on. Let her do the thing.
Porsha
Yay! Hee-hee.
Buster
Porsha, wait!
Sasha
Whoa, hey! Um, just a minute.
Porsha
Whoo! Whoo-ee! Woo-hoo-hoo! I love it! Woohoo! It's easy!
Buster
Alright, let's get you down, Rosita.
Porsha
Oh, my gosh, you guys. This is exactly like the dream I had last night. Seriously, eh? Ya-you were all there, and… You and you and that funny-looking guy over there. Um, all of you. And you asked me to sing for ya.
Buster
[Suki takes Buster to Crystal's office]
You wanted to see me, sir?
Jimmy Crystal
Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Come on in.
Buster
Whoa. This place is incredible.
Jimmy Crystal
[chuckles]
Pretty great, huh?
Jimmy Crystal
[Buster takes a seat at Crystal's desk]
So, how's it going with Calloway?
Buster
Calloway? It's good. Yeah, very good.
Jimmy Crystal
Right, right. Well, let me ask you something. What did I do to make you disrespect me, huh?
Buster
What?
Jimmy Crystal
What? You think I'm an idiot, some kind of bozo?
Buster
No, sir. Not at all!
Jimmy Crystal
My team, they talked to Calloway's lawyer, and they say he's never heard of you, or your show.
Buster
Really? They said that? Uh!
Jimmy Crystal
[off-screen and looking angry, slams his fists on his desk]
YOU LIED TO ME!
Buster
I didn't mean to. Okay?! Uh, honestly, I really thought I could get him.
Jimmy Crystal
No one makes me look like a fool! No one!
Buster
I wouldn't dream of doing that to you!
Jimmy Crystal
I swear, if you didn't have my kid in your show, YOU'D BE OUTTA THAT WINDOW BY NOW!
Buster
[Jimmy sniffing and growling]
Please, please, please! I'm so sorry!
Jimmy Crystal
[leans forward to Buster]
You'd better have Calloway by the end of next week or so, help me!
Buster
I will! I'll get him. I won't let you down, sir.
Jimmy Crystal
Oh, I know you won't let me down.
Buster
Whoa! Whoa!
Clay
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Oopsie-daisy.
Ash
Moon, are you okay?
Buster
I'm OK!
Buster
Porsha, you know I truly believe that this show, but it's close to being fantastic, maybe even perfect.
Porsha
Thank you.
Buster
Yeah, yeah, but see; to make it the best it can be. [takes a deep breath] Well, I got to make some changes.
Porsha Crystal
Uh-huh. (Like what for example?)
Buster
Like! [mutters, takes another breath] I have to give the lead role back to Rosita.
Porsha Crystal
[shocked]
What?
Buster
I'm just offering you the opportunity to switch role with?
Porsha Crystal
[misunderstanding]
You're firing me?
Buster
No, I'm not firing you.
Porsha Crystal
[angry, storms out]
Oh-ho, wait 'til my dad hears that you fired me!
Buster
But I’m not firing you! Please, wait!
Porsha Crystal
[incredulously]
Oh, my gosh. You all hate me, don’t you?
Buster
No, no, no! We don't hate you! We all think you’re terrific!
Porsha Crystal
Well, I don’t care if you hate me!
Buster
Please stop.
Porsha Crystal
[storming off after a miscommunication with Buster]
You and your stupid, stupid sky-fi show can go to heck!
Buster
Porsha, stop. Wait! Oh, I am one dead koala.
Suki
[Buster has been called in by Jimmy after "firing" Porsha, he'd just found that Clay has agreed to perform in the show]
Mr. Moon, what have you done?
Buster
Mr. Crystal! Ah! I've got some great news. Clay Calloway is on his way here right now!
Jimmy Crystal
[to his henchmen]
Everybody out. [his henchmen leaves]
Buster
Okay, I think I know what this might be about, and I.
Jimmy Crystal
You fired Porsha.
Buster
No, no. I never fired her.
Jimmy Crystal
You calling her a liar?
Buster
No, no, no, no, she just got it wrong is all. I was only trying to help her do the best she could, and be believe me, I just wanna do the right thing.
Jimmy Crystal
The right thing to do... [angrily grabs Buster by the collar, screams at him in the face] ...IS WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO!
Buster
But I did! I delivered a great show. And Calloway, he's coming. [Jimmy holds him above the roof] No! No! No! Stop! Stop! [screaming]
Jimmy Crystal
You really think I'd let a lowlife little amateur loser like You, humiliate me!?
Buster
Please! Please!
Jimmy Crystal
You made me look bad. So, I'm gonna have to let you go!
Jerry
[just as he's about to drop Buster, Jerry comes in]
Sir. Uh, sir, sir. I'm so sorry to bother you, but you have a live TV appearance in just a moment, so it might be better if we just put a pin in this right now.
Buster
[Jimmy angrily throws Buster into his closet] [scared]
You need to kill me!
Jimmy Crystal
And I'll finish the job later. [He slams the door and locks it]
Suki
[after she let Buster out from the closet]
Shh! You need to get out of this city and never, ever come back. You understand? Never!
Buster
Okay, okay. I understand.
Suki
I told you you weren’t cut out for this.
Buster
He tried to kill me!
Suki
Yeah, and when he finds you’re gone, he’ll have his thugs looking all over for you.
Buster
Okay. Thank you, Suki. I'm so, so!
Suki
Let's out of here!
[Buster runs out of the office]
Buster
Hey, you made it! [hugs Porsha's legs]
Porsha Crystal
Yeah, well, uh, maybe I overreacted a little before.
Gunter
A little? You were like a total drama queen back there.
Buster
Yeah, okay. We're all good now.
Porsha Crystal
Wow, my dad's gonna flip when he finds out about us.
Buster
Well, we're safe for now. But listen. Let's-
Porsha Crystal
Safe? [scoffs] Eh, no. None of us are safe.
Johnny
Mr. Moon? I know someone who can protect us.
Big Daddy
[Meanwhile, Johnny talks to his father on the phone]
Right. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. Protection? Say no more, son. We're on our way.
Buster
[Crystal falls through a trapdoor by Buster]
Ms. Crawly put some cushions and snacks down there, so you should be comfortable 'til the show's over.
Jimmy Crystal
Why you little! Aah! [Buster closes the trapdoor]
Buster
Come on, Rosita.
Meena
LOOK OUT!
Buster
WHOA!
Porsha Crystal
DADDY, STOP IT!!!!
Nooshy
NO!!!
Miss Crawly
MR. MOON!
Suki
MR. CRYSTAL, NO!
Jimmy Crystal
Well, I've got you now, you lowlife little loser!
Buster
No, sir. I'm not a loser. We did what we came here to do. And there's nothing you can do or say to change that.
Jimmy Crystal
Oh, I can do whatever I want!
