Oh, okay.

Lawrence, hold my leg up. Okay,

now rotate me slowly.

What are you doing?

Um, what does it look like I'm doing?

Swan Lake.

I'm buying tickets to the premiere of Wormhole of Justice.

Lawrence, keep holding my foot. Now touch the lockers.

Yes, got a signal.

I don't think I'm overstating it when I say this movie is the most important

thing that's ever happened in the universe ever.

Well, I thought that movie already came out.

You must be thinking of the book series.

Or the video games. Or the action figures. Or the... I used the wormhole

exfoliating shower gel.

It made dermatitis erupt on my torso and feet.

Dude, you should keep your rash stories to yourself.

Deep, deep down inside yourself.

Too late. There's already pictures of my middle back in a medical journal.

Yo, Lawrence.

A little help?

I'm getting us all tickets so the whole band can sit together.

Or we could see a movie with actual humans in it.

You take that back.

She was kidding.

Tell them you're kidding.

Well, I just meant that I doubt everyone wants to see Wormhole of Justice.

I do. I do.

Wormhole of Justice?

You've got to get me a ticket.

I'm going to the midnight show because I'm a grown -up. Ha!

Are you guys talking wormhole?

talking about flame.

Or maybe they have a real life.

Which is so lame.

Guys, guys, check this out. Something amazing is on my phone.

A cat in a kimono?

Oops, that's not what I wanted to show you.

But he is cat of the week if you follow my blog.

having a showcase right here in Austin to scout for new talent. Hey, we're new

talent. That's why we got to play that showcase.

He could turn us into superstars.

It says we just have to submit a recording of our music. I could build us

recording studio.

Thanks, Lauren, but we need a professional studio.

No problem.

I can get us into the best recording studio in all of Austin.

Let's do this.

Mr. Finn, how long is it going to take us to get to the studio?

Oh. We're already here. This is the studio.

This hooptie?

Come on, guys.

All my bands have recorded in this van.

It may not look like much, but it's got everything we need. And a lot of things

we don't need.

Like these taco wrappers?

That's my soundproofing. Now we're good.

Come on. Give old Ben Halen a try.

Plug in. Let's play down a track.

Aren't you going to pull over?

I can't. The equipment won't work if the van's not in motion.

Recording. Let's rock.

Sorry, fourth gear six.

One, two, three, four.

Sorry, there was a detour. I had to turn on the hill view.

That's the curviest street in Austin.

Hey, there's a straightaway coming up. Start singing. Start singing. But hurry.

In a quarter mile, it turns into gravel.

Let's just play back the track and see what we got.

Whoa! Armadillo!

Slap some reverb on that, and we got a hit.

Great.

Now what are we going to do? Might as well kiss McBronson goodbye.

Okay, nobody's kissing anybody.

I know a guy who drives the second best recording studio in all of Austin.

I'm Phil Karstik from the first best recording studio in Austin.

Well, our rock and roll dream is dead.

We'll never get discovered.

It's over.

Oh, man.

And I was in such a good mood.

Why? I built us an awesome studio, but now it's just a sad reminder of our

broken dreams.

Wait.

You built us a studio? Too little, too late.

A recording studio would totally save the day.

Don't patronize me.

Show us the...

This looks great, Lawrence.

Not every recording studio has a barf mop.

Oh, rat trap.

Doesn't hurt as much as you think.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Wait,

you thought this was the studio?

This is not the studio.

Well, this kicks my van's butt.

Your van smells like a butt.

A lot of butts.

So many butts.

Where'd you get all of this equipment?

I'm the king of curb alerts.

You wouldn't believe the treasures people toss out. I also have 37 broken

treadmills if you're in the market.

I'm good.

Lawrence, I can't believe you put all this together.

Tamika, check the mic.

Just one, two, tapioca.

Tapioca, tapioca, tapioca.

Tapioca, tapioca, tapioca.

Dude, that's a sweet board.

It has 70 tracks and an average noise floor of 33 dB SPL. Ah, and it's got

slider dealies.

You know, Lawrence, with all this gear, you could really give us a cool sound.

Your bed smells like butt.

Butt.

Butt.

Butt. I put every piece of recording equipment we could possibly need in this

room. Perfect. Then we can make the best possible song for Mick Bronson, and

you're going to be in charge of recording it. Hopefully with a little

Really? Do you trust me with that?

Hey, you built this place.

You obviously know what you're doing. Yeah, we totally trust you. Not the...

the Curvebender Equalizer Module.

Interesting story. Okay, you got the job.

Way to go, Lawrence.

Lawrence! Lawrence!

Lawrence! Lawrence!

Lawrence! Guys, guys, guys, put me down. I'm just a regular guy.

Fine. Three more Lawrences.

Lawrence! Lawrence!

So, how far have you gotten on the Wormhole series?

I read a thousand pages last night.

Oh, man, you're only halfway through book one.

You'll be my Zizou.

Wait, is that part of the book or are you just being weird?

Both, Zizou.

Both.

All right, guys. I did a lot of research last night on how the greatest songs

were recorded. I bet I learned a thousand new techniques.

Great. Want to try one? I want to try them all.

You guys ready to record?

I was born ready.

And under this weirdly bright star.

All right, recording.

Let's rock this.

Something's off.

It was me, wasn't it? You can't kick me out of the band. I will not go quietly.

Fine, you win. I'll go.

Mr. Finn, it's not you. It's our sound.

Okay, stop begging. I'll come back.

Just give me a second. I need to set up another mic or two.

Yeah, go crazy.

There.

You really did go crazy.

Wait!

Okay, it's been three hours. Can we play now? Of course, let's rock.

Right after I rewire the soundboard for all these mics.

Hold up, guys.

Something's not right.

Yeah, you keep stopping us.

I'm trying to get the perfect mix of reverb and echo.

I know.

You can see my face right now. You know...

happy with you.

Let's do one more. Well, how do you want it now?

Crunchier? Lumpier?

More bucket -y?

All of the above. Have some fun with it.

Okay, take 498.

Can't spend another day in that bucket.

But we made it so nice for you.

I would never wear that shade of lipstick.

Our foot down. He'll have to do it our way. He can't make the record without

Yeah, you're right.

I guess he can.

Who are these guys?

And why are they playing our part?

I'm glad you're here. You guys are going to love how you sound.

How we sound?

We're not even playing.

Oh, yeah. I hired session musicians.

replaced us? Only musically. You'll still return to your homes tonight.

This dude is amazingly unnecessary, and it was not cool for you to hire people

without asking us.

Show me that lick again.

How can you even afford them? They're surprisingly cheap. I just had to pay

in cafeteria pizza.

I don't want to be a diva, but that girl's got to get her own bucket.

Is this because I didn't want to play guitar hanging upside down?

Because I stand by that decision.

Hey, you guys wanted something great for McBronson, and we're lucky to get these

guys. They've got a lot of experience, and they're going to give us a unique

sound. Totally School of Rock.

You can't have the School of Rock sound without School of Rock.

Sure you can.

Give it time. You'll see it's the right choice.

Uh -uh -uh.

You get pizza when you're done.

Zach, Freddie, Lawrence, I just want to... Lawrence?

Why is there a slightly more feminine version of me sitting in my spot?

That's new, Lawrence.

You replaced us, so we replaced you.

What? She's nothing like me.

She's just a pale imitation.

Thanks. I try to stay out of the sun and wear a hat for prolonged exposure.

Oh, yeah? What's your preferred SPF? 45.

But 45, the difference between ratings is fractional at best.

Okay. I'll allow that there are some surface similarities. And since new

Lawrence has replaced you in our friendship, we've decided to get for

ticket for War Mall of Justice.

What? But we're all going to see it together.

Give it time. You'll see it's the right choice.

War Mall of Lawrence.

No! The movie's tonight.

It's too much. I can't learn all of this in time.

There's way too many names, and they all start with a Q, X, or Z.

Isn't there anyone on this planet named Dave?

Hey, it's okay.

Some of us just aren't Wormer material.

gonna let you be i have an idea i'm gonna act it out for you

in the beginning there was a baby cyborg

Marches right into an ambush.

anders doesn't wear flip -flops ah gotta let my piggies breathe bro how come

you're not dressed up for the movie they gave my ticket away to some lady me oh

yeah new lawrence great kid even you but the original is way better

they don't think so they all hate me no they don't they just got their

feelings hurt i only replaced them because i wanted the band to sound as

possible That's why I tried all those crazy techniques.

Music doesn't have to be that complicated.

Did you know the Beatles recorded Twist and Shout in one take?

Really?

I guess I was so into using my machines, I lost track of my friends.

My human friends.

The thing about human friends is, they forgive.

Robot friends do too, if you program them correctly.

I'm really trying to help you here, Lawrence.

I know.

I'm going down to the movie and telling the band I'm sorry. All right.

Aw, man, I don't have a ticket.

Let me know how it is.

Thanks, Mr. Finn.

May the power of the realm bring strength to your people.

There goes a hero.

With my car keys in his space pouch.

So again, I apologize.

I got carried away.

And I'd appreciate it if you could find it in your hearts to forgive me.

So what do you say?

I say whoever you are, move out of the way. I'm trying to watch the movie.

Hey, we're over here, Lawrence.

Guys, let me just start by saying I'm sorry. It's okay.

We heard you apologize for the last four rows.

Second row was your most heartfelt.

So can I come back? Too late.

I'm already here, and there's only room for one Lawrence.

But I'm Lawrence, and these are my friends. There can only be one.

If I have to, I'm willing to fight for my people.

Then a battle you shall have.

I like your costume, by the way. Is it officially licensed?

Yeah, thanks.

I like yours, too.

And now we fight.

I could sit here with my big tub of seaweed all night.

Yuck! I thought it was burnt popcorn.

Here, wash it down with that. Oh, yeah.

It's mushroom juice.

Oh, of course, it's in the Hagodashi Maneuver.

Dumber, busting out the Hagodashi.

I didn't know you were such a big wormer. Oh, yeah, huge wormer over here.

Welcome back, new New Lawrence.

Do you really have to call me that?

No, we don't. New Katie.

I'm good with new New Lawrence.

What happened to all the microphones?

I decided all we need is just the one.

I'm getting rid of anything that comes between us and the music.

Fine, I'll go.

No, Mr. Finn. Fine, I'll stay.

See, we're a band again.

Do you still want me to wear... the bucket no but if you want to wear it

of here that's your choice my choice is no i set us up in a circle

so that we can see each other when we play because playing together is what

makes school of rock school of rock
