Hey.
What happened to you last night? I didn't see you.
I was kind of in the back on the down low, and Joe was wearing his pants inside out.
It's kind of a long story.
Right.
So? What did you think?
Your opinion means a lot to me.
Actually, I was kind of surprised to hear you sing "Give Love a Try."
But you wrote it for me to sing, right?
Oh.
I mean that is why you wrote it, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's why I wrote it.
I wrote it for you to sing.
You hated it.
I feel awful.
Are you kidding? You were awesome,
and to hear you sing to Jimmy, who apparently is your
boyfriend,
was magical.
I'm so relieved.
I can't wait to tell Jimmy.
Nick.
How'd it go? We couldn't hear a thing.
There's nothing to hear.
We talked it all out. It's just one big misunderstanding.
Since Penny is already with Johnny
Jimmy
Whatever.
She and I are just going to be friends.
Really?
Everything's cool.
I told you I wasn't taking things too fast.
I guess we had this one wrong.
You sure did.
Looks like our little Nick is growing up.
He sure is.
Oh, Nick. I almost forgot.
Remember when you said I could record my demo in your studio?
Yeah.
Well, what if I sang "Give Love a Try"?
Uhhh.
It's a great idea.
I mean I wrote it for you, right?
Right.
You're awesome.
You're awesome.
So totally awesome.
Ouch!
Stop!
I don't get it!
This leg should just tear
right off!
Your brothers writes amazing songs.
It's really nothing. I write songs all the time.
It's true.
He can write a song before breakfast
but we never really use them because they're always like
"my stomach's growling for love."
Ok, why don't you get in the booth so we can get a level?
What?
Ok.
So Nick, how do you want to tackle this?
First, hit the backing track.
Then pick up the rhythm guitar.
Then hit the lead vocal.
Ok.
[harps playing]
I can't do this.
Nick, what's going on?
Nothing.
Come on. It's us.
You're just going to make fun of me.
We're your brothers.
We're going to make fun of you no matter what it is.
I didn't take it slow with Penny.
I burned rubber and went like a hundred miles an hour.
Man.
I thought I was getting better at the romance thing.
Nope. Not at all.
I made a total idiot out of myself.
How dumb can I be?
You're not dumb.
You're just really intense.
Which is sad for you but lucky for us because we get great songs out of it.
True.
What do I do now?
Well, you could hide in your locker for the rest of the year,
or you could go upstairs. Record that demo with Penny.
After you're done, say, "See you at school. Nice working with you."
If I do the locker thing, would you guys bring me some food?
Absolutely not.
Do I look like a waiter?
Everything ok?
Yeah, we were just…
Look. When I said I wrote the song for you,
I didn't mean I wrote it for you.
I meant I wrote it for you.
Yeah, I know, and it's really great that you would write me a song.
It's just…
Oh.
Yeah.
I guess I just got a little carried away in my head.
A little bit.
I do that sometimes.
Nick, I feel terrible.
I mean…
I hope you don't think that I led you on.
I really like you, and when you said you wrote me a song, I thought
No, it was all me.
You kind of fall hard, huh?
Yeah, that's what they tell me
and tell me.
No wonder you write such good songs.
I'm going to get my stuff and go.
Wait.
You should at least stay and record the song.
No, I can't sing it now that I know the truth about why you wrote it.
But won't Jimmy be disappointed and stuff since you dedicated it to him.
I broke up with him.
Why?
Well, because he didn't like the song
and anyone who doesn't like an awesome song like this
just doesn't get me.
So you're saying the song is available?
It's completely unattached.
I think we have a demo to record.
You might think
that I'm a fool
for falling over you.
So tell me what can I do to
prove to you
that is not so hard to do?
Give love a try
one more time
'cause you know that I'm on your side.
Give love a try
one more time.
Ok.
Now, the final test is to see if your average fan
can tell which is the Stelcro garment.
Two of the boys are wearing regular clothes.
One is wearing Stelcro.
I want to see if you can tell which of the boys is going to be…
[screams]
Yeah.
That wasn't the one.
Who are you?!
