Music.
It's an ancient power.
Some can wield it. And we call them...
Rockstars.
The question is... Are they born? Or made?
All I know is...
Some people have it, and some people...
Don't

-I'm Sami Reese -And I'm Duder Reese
And we are... "Reeses Pieces".
Ok... Anybody have any request?
-You suck!
"We've been playing all of our lives..."
-This is the story of how me, Sami Reese...
...and my borther became rockstars,
...with very little talent, and whole lot... of lies..
"We got nothing but the songs we sing, before we know what's happening,"
"We might be the next big thing, and I wish we could escape it,"
"but let's face it, now I'm caught in a lie."
-I think that went well! I think we're laying the tracks down for major label success!
-Impromptu band meeting. So we skipped school today. And we're skipping school tomorrow.
-No. No! Tomorrow we sign up for Battle of the Bands. -Ok, so, Battle of the Bands happens Thrusday'.
-No, it's Wednesday.
-Duder, today is Wednesday!
-Oh, crap.
-This is Arbor Land High, where being in a band means everything.
-Band name, please? -"The Ex-Boyfriends".
-Still haven't gotten over it, huh? -Nuh... it's normal.
-Band name, please. -"*** Tonk." -Ah ah...
What?
Band name? ...please?
-"Love Goodnight".
-Love ??? -Yeah. Desire. Want. Passion.
-??? -Means passion.
-That's Zach.
He's not in a band per se', but he runs battle of the bands.
-Oi!
-Wait, we wanted to sign up! -Well, yeah...
-Well, sign up actually ended at 12, so, let's see, you're about...
-Mmh... 15 seconds too late. -What?!
-That's bogus, can't we just sign up? -If I let you sign up then I'll have to let every latecomer sign up.
Rules are rules!
-We're the only ones here!
-Yeah...
Tanya...
Tanya Freemont.
-Hey Zachy-poo
[whisper] -Hey Tanya.
-Pen, please?
-What, you're letting her sign up and not us?
-Guys... Tanya's the lead singer of "the Hot Girls".
-The Hot Girls won battle of the band last year, then...
...gets her special privileges.
-Sami's her own kind of special.
-Tanya, just... give it a rest, I'm just trying to sign up.
-Oh, and... and you're having trouble doing that? 'cause... I have a pen...
-Well, I wouldn't be, except that I've got a couple of idiots in my way!
-Ah! We're only in the way of the two of you embarrassing yourselves again. I mean...
Really, Sami... this school has enough bands as it is, and...
I don't think the world's ready for one that's as...
-..."musically challeneged" as Reeses Pieces. -Well,
we'll see what you say when we beat you at Battle of the Bands this year.
-You know what?
Why don't you sign up?
It'll be fun to watch.
-I HATE Tanya Freemont. -I see what ??? about Tanya, but...
She got us in Battle of the Bands!
-Do you think she's right?
-'bout what? -Do we suck?
-No, why do you say that? -I know, I just...
-Hey! / -Woah. -Watch where you're going!
-Hey. Big an' tall.
What happened, you escaped from the zoo again?
-I'm just going to English class. -Aww... are you still learning how to read?
Here.
-I said, here.
-Is he that Kevin kid?
I feel like I've been in class with him for 10 years, I never talked to the guy.
-Nobody talks to him, Duder.
-I feel bad for him. -No, don't feel bad for him.
We ARE that guy.
We're losers, we're ***.
We have to win Battle of the Bands this year.
We decided to stay the day at school, but I couldn't stop thinking about what Tanya had said.
DID we suck?
Maybe we needed something new.
New songs.
New talent.
We need to have auditions for the band.
Last stop: Sweet Water Records.
Sweet Water Records is where all the best musicians in town hang out.
If we were looking for talent, we'd find it here.
Toby Phillips.
He's so perfect.
-Hey, that's Toby Phillips. -Sh!
He's a sweet guitar player! We should give him a flyer.
-You can't just walk up to Toby Phillips and ask him if he wants to be in our band!
-Wh...why not? -'Cause you don't just walk up to people and start talking to them, that's weird!
-Ok
-What about Tanya, should we say hello to her? -What? Where?
-There. Perfect.
-Hey there babe, you wanna get outta here? -Oh, most definitely.
-He would be perfect, if he wasn't dating Tanya Freemont.
