02x02 - Back to the Beach

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Jonas...

This summer in LA is gonna be epic.

Stella's gonna date Joe from Jonas.

When I see her tonight,
I'm gonna say it loud and clear,

"Stella Malone,
will you be my girlfriend?"

Vanessa Page.
Your show rocks.

Joe is in a cell-free environment.
Please try him back.

Some girl answered his phone.

-I want to be friends.
-We are friends.

Just friends.

-It's really good to see you.
-It's good to see you, too.

What are you doing?

Saving Joe.
What are you doing?

Nick, Vanessa said there might be
a part for me in her movie.

We're working out my acting chops.

OK, that explains nothing.
And you?

You know, I've always
wanted to be a director.

-Always?
-At least for the last couple of weeks.

Well, I've always wanted to go to sleep,
so please keep it down, OK?

-Joseph!

Sorry, I bit my tongue.

-All right, let's do it again.
-OK, down.

-And...

Hey, Mace.

Hey! Oh, I was just
updating the Jonas site.

Anything you want me to post?

Post this:
"Macy's offline."

-You're supposed to be on vacation.
-OK.

-Oh, um...
-Sorry.

I got it.

Um, so, this pool's cool and all,

but I'm kind of thinking beach.
It's so close, you know.

Yeah, I can almost smell it.

That's my body spray.

Hey, DZ, you ever hear of knocking?

Yeah, how about,
"Knock-knock, I smell good"?

It's Beach by Stone Stevens.

And I'm rocking his man-jewelry.

Wait, Stone Stevens, the pro surfer?

Yeah, he's a close,
personal homie of mine.

You want to meet him?

Yeah, sounds like a rad adventure.

I just said "rad," so Cali.

Well, if she's in, I'm in.
Take us.

Well, I would love to,
but I don't have a car.

-So, you can't take us?
-Well, my Moms can.

OK, great, so let's go.

But she's at Pilates for an hour,

so until then we're straight
chillin' poolside.

Ah...

-I'm calling a cab.
-Sounds good.

See ya.

-Hey.
-Hi.

OK, so this is an expression drill.

The first one is gonna be happy.
Action!

OK. Sad.

Scared.

OK, enamored.

What's that?

You know, like when you like somebody,
you have feelings for them. Action!

Dude, I'm not giving you my love face.

It's not for me.
You know, just picture me as a girl.

You know, and you're trying
to impress me. Action!

All I can think about is Stella.

Still?

Be right back.

Hurry.

Vanessa, hey.

-Are you ready?
-Always. For what?

Well, I talked to my director

about who should play my love interest
in Forever April,

and, dramatic pause,
she wants a Joe from Jonas type.

-I can play that.
-I know.

That's amazing.
I'm gonna be in a movie.

Totally.
Now, the audition is today.

Whoa, whoa, wait.
There's an audition?

Oh, it's just a formality.

But they're looking for me.
How am I supposed to play myself?

Joe, don't worry.
The part is as good as yours.

We're gonna play
boyfriend and dead girlfriend.

Stone and his crew are so chill,
all right.

Once they see you with me,
you'll be part of the family.

Yo, Stone!

What's the haps, man?

Hey, I know you.
You're, uh, from that band, right?

Nick from Jonas.

Stone from the ocean.

Wait, do that again.
I want to get this for the site.

Anything for you, photo fox.

'Cause I take photos.

Shirts off, right?

Uh, it's your beach.

All right.

The director said she wants
a Joe from Jonas type.

How do I look more Joe-ish?

OK, um, how about something
from, like, your last music video?

So... leather jacket...
Do you like that?

-Yeah.
-And glasses.

-How about a bandanna?
-Classic Joe.

Classic Joe.
I'm glad you I like it.

Hi, they just emailed me
the scenes for your audition later.

Cool.
Just put it over there.

Uh, I don't know, man.
I was looking them over,

and they're pretty emotional.
I think we should go over it.

Kevin, what do you really
know about directing?

Well, as much as you really
know about acting.

The whole thing's practically a done deal.

OK, man. Whatever.

You know, Kevin's right.

I mean, you've never done this before.
You should prepare.

It's all about my look.

Vanessa said the whole audition's
a formality.

Vanessa?

Well, she would know.

You know there's nothing
going on between us, right?

Yeah, yeah, I know. And even if there was,
I'd be fine with it.

We agreed to be friends, so...

You're the best.

I know.

-Do you like that one?
-Yeah.

Aunt Lisa, hey.

-Mind if I help you with those?
-Oh, I see what you're doing.

You're trying to get on my good side.

It's not happening, no.
I don't trust rock stars.

To carry your groceries?

Good point.

Thanks.

So, what brings you
to my shred-quarters, Nick?

We're here for the summer,
taking in the sights.

All right, all right.

Hey, you want a fish taco?
You want a fish taco.

Guys, dos fish tacos:

one for Nick and one for his
friend-girlfriend.

-Whoa, she's not...
-We're just...

Macy runs our website.

Yeah? Well, I've got a web empire.
I use it to spread my message.

It's all about easy livin',
saving the ocean.

If you want to be cool, buy my stuff.

Yeah, that's where I score my Stone Juice.

It's the guava to get you, right, bro?

-And for you it's on the house.
-Oh.

Well, see, we're more about our fans
than selling stuff.

That's noble.

Hey, maybe I could interest you
in a position on my web team,

working closely with me, of course.

-Yeah--
-Yeah, she's gonna pass.

I am?

You're way too busy with the Jonas site.

No. No, no, no...
No, I'm not.

-We're on vacation.
-Where did you get that idea?

From you this morning.
You said I was offline.

Amigos, I don't want to make waves,
just want to ride 'em.

But if you change your mind,
here's my card.

Dudes, what's the ETA on those tacos?

Hoo!

-Thank you.
- Thanks.

It's cool.
I ate at home.

-You want something to drink?

-Hungry?
-Nope.

So...

So, how exactly am I too busy
to work for Stone's website?

Well, the truth is
I wanted to let you relax

before I hit you with
all the big ideas for the site.

Oh, I'm relaxed.
Hit me.

Well, to start, pictures...

band pictures, pictures of the band.

So, you're saying more pictures.

Yes, exactly.
Other stuff, website stuff,

like weather reports, movie schedules,
uh, stock market reports.

Did you know that Japan
has its own stock market?

Yeah, I did, Nick. I did.

Why don't you want me to work for Stone?

'Cause Stone only wants you
to work for him 'cause you're pretty.

-So, you're saying I'm pretty?
-I'm saying Stone thinks you're pretty.

Wow.
Well, thank you for clearing that up.

You know what?
You don't get to decide things for me.

I do.

And I just decided
that I'm gonna work for Stone.

-No, you're not.
-Oh, yeah? Watch me. I quit.

You can't quit,
because we don't pay you.

-You got this, man.
-I know I got this, dude. No problem.

We're gonna be late though.
Nick, where are you?

-Nick!
-Have you guys seen Macy?

No, no. Macy!

There he is.
Nick, have you seen Macy?

Yeah, I want her to film me
landing my first movie role.

Where's the camera?
I'll do it.

No, I want Macy.

Yeah, you're not so good
with the pictures.

-You like to cut off the heads.
-That is an artistic choice.

Nick... where is she?

Maybe she went shopping or quit
or went to get her hair done.

You know, who knows what girls
do these days, right?

Whoa, back up.
Macy went shopping without me?

Wait, what was that middle one again?

-She quit, OK? She quit.
-What did you do?

I don't know. We were talking about
the Japanese stock market

and she just went nuts.

Nick, you must have
done something to hurt her.

-You have to fix this.
-How?

Guys, we gotta get to my audition.

So, Nick, whatever you gotta do
to change her mind, do it.

DZ, DZ...

Whoa, whoa!

Oh, hey, bro.
Just making sure your pool works.

Listen, I need your help with something.

Oh, be right there.

That was touch-and-go for a second.

What can I do you for, bro?

Listen, if I had anybody else to ask,
I would.

Oh, thanks, bro.

OK, I'm gonna need a wet suit,
a surfboard and a ride from your mom.

Done.
Where are we going?

-Back to the beach.
-Oh, I love it.

OK, buddy, you can do this.

You're one of a kind.

It's Joe.

Hey, dude.
Tell me you nailed it.

There's a roomful of me's in there,
and I'm freaking out right now.

It's OK.
Uh, just calm down.

Breathe.
Remember everything I told you.

Kevin, we're way past happy face/sad face.

How am I supposed to get
in front of a famous director

and do a love scene with real emotions?

Hang in there, man.
I've got an idea.

Ready, Joe?

You mean me, right?

This one looks all wrong.

Oh, Mona, this actually is Joe from Jonas.

-Well, OK. Mona Klein, a huge fan.
-Wow.

All right, let's rock this.

And action!

Don't you get it, Dade?
I'm a ghost.

Ghosts can't love.

They covet, they desire,
but they can't love.

I could choose to believe that...

but if we never try...

then we'll never know
what could have been.

Cut.

Is he in love
or is he ordering a cheeseburger?

Just give him another chance.
He's a little nervous.

-That was really terrible.
-I know. I'm sorry.

Joe, look at me.

You get to be in love with me.
It shouldn't be hard.

-Can I please try again?
-You're lucky lunch hasn't arrived yet.

All right, one more shot, rock star.
