Got a band that's really cool, stealing words from you know who, playing gigs when we can, trying to impress our fans. Younger brother goes berserk. His temper is his biggest quirk. I got a plan that might just work. Now, we're gonna rock and we're gonna roll. We are Grojband.
Whoa-oa-oa!
TV man: Today math takes the stage at the semiannual Peaceville Trimathalon. Live right here on the substation station, home of televised math, solve for excitement.
(Katrina turns off the ad and is in a swivel chair)
Katrina: Guess who booked us a gig for rocking the Trimathalon.
(Katrina wheels herself to the band)
Carrie: Just tell us this game always take forever.
Mina: We're playing a math competition awesome!
Nick: I was gonna say nerds-ville.
Katrina: Its live TV Nick we'll reach every nerd in town a totally untapped fan base, Grojband equals math rock, and when smart people like us every else will like us so they'll look smart too.
Carrie: I don't know Katrina I'm not so good at math, I've failing it for like how many hands is 6 fingers?
Katrina: You know all the math you need to buddy, you can count us in right?
Carrie: 1 2 3 4!
(The band starts playing and Cole is on the balcony looking down on the band)
Cole: I can't think with all that rock n racket! Hashtag silence!
(Cole goes in his room)
Cole: There's a zero percent chance Katrina and her dumb band is playing at the Trimathalon.
(Cole grabs a phone and calls Mayor Barney)
Mayor Barney: Hello, I'll won't stand for that! Wait sorry jumped a gun, what are you calling about?
(Monkeywrench transition)
Katrina: What do you mean our band can't play?
Mayor Barney: Word has it your drummer a math failure, can have her on stage when we're giving up for numbers.
(Mayor Barney high fives Cole)
Cole: Guess whose brother snitched you out, hashtag sabotage!
Katrina: Cole you told Mayor Barney about Carrie.
Cole: There isn't room for at this thing for you plus me, so I minus you.
Katrina: Wait why are you going to the Trimathalon?
Cole: I have my super-secret reasons.
Katrina: Ok its problem-solving time.
(Katrina is in Mayor Barney office)
Mayor Barney: Sure if Carrie wins the Trimathalon it'll be exactly like she passed 6 years of math in a day. Then you can play.
Katrina: Yes!
Nick: That does not solve our problem, Kat.
(Cuts to the boy's bathroom where Alex and Kai are washing their hand when Cole appears behind them)
Alex/Kai: Ahhh!
(Cole dresses him up in a plaid green buttoned shirt with a yellow shirt under, brown pants, orange socks, and brown shoes. He also has a man bun with a pencil going through it. And glasses)
Cole: Time to out-nerd these nerds with my alter ego.
(Cole exits the boy's bathroom)
Kin: Calculus Cole, what's up dude?
Cole: Kin my intellectual equal.
Kin: You want to get our omega 3 on with a brain strength fish oil smoothie
Cole: Sure I secretly love those nerd smoothies! Uh, I mean I love fish oil smoothies openly.
Kin: It's amazing to have a best friend that likes brain food and doesn't yell at me, I mean Cole is awesome-
Cole: He's totally is, let's count the first hundred way he's awesome you go first.
Kin: Uh?
(Cuts to Grojband in the garage)
Carrie: I have to learn 6 years of math that could take like 3 hands!
Mina: No sweat sis I'll just drop some number knowledge with our sister power. Give me your mind!
(Mina is in Carrie's brain and about to go in her math center)
Mina: This doesn't look good.
(Mina open the door to Carrie's math part)
Mina: Gasp!
(Numbers were rampaging all over the place)
(It goes back to the real world)
Mina: The math center of Carrie's brain is a war zone!
Carrie: This is all that I'm good for!
(Carrie starts to drum and the numbers glow and fly all over the place)
Mina: Of course drumming is a mathematical expression, let's hear some iron pixies.
(Carrie plays iron pixies)
Mina: Don't forget Johnny Bongo he played without drumsticks.
(Carrie's eyes goes swirly and starts to play on her drum set without drumsticks and numbers fly on the chalkboard)
Nick: So when Carrie drums she enters a kind of blissful genius trance?
Katrina: And blah blah blah she nail the Trimathalon, all right Grojband let's rock these nerds like geologist nerds rocks!
(Wicked cool transition)
(There's a montage of Cole and Kin doing nerd stuff)
Kin: What's your favorite number, Cal?
Cole: I like 101 it's totally the first palindromic prime.
Kin: I like eight it's almost a snowman math is great.
Cole: Accurate what's even greater is how you can use it to make revenge formulas, where all the variables are the thing your enemies do to bug you and you multiply them all together and then x equals how much vengeance you dish out!
Kin: I also like 2
(2 is pretty great)
Mayor Barney: Welcome nerds and nerdy enthusiasts to the x + y semi biannual Trimathalon.
Nick: Even if Carrie wins what are we gonna do about lyrics?
Katrina: Cole said he'd be here, maybe we'll get some nerd to kiss him and freak him out.
Mayor Barney: All right our first brain-to-brain competitors are Cameron Button and Calculus Cole!
Katrina: (Gasp) I wonder Cole is?
Mayor Barney: Let's do stuff with numbers!
Cole: Oh like so easy.
(Cole solves the question)
Mayor Barney: You're on to the next round!
Crowd: Cal, Cal, Cal, Cal, Cal!
(Cole's man bun starts to loosen up but Cole puts it back in position)
Mayor Barney: Next up Claire Route and Carrie.
(Carrie starts drumming on the chalkboard and solves the problem)
Mayor Barney: That was the loudest math I've heard all day but you got it right so Claire goes away.
Katrina: She won only 10 more rounds to go!
(There's a montage of the competition where Carrie and Cole wins and other kids lose until its Cole against Carrie)
Mayor Barney: And we're set for our final round between Carrie and Calculus Cole.
Mina: Carrie doesn't look so good.
Nick: Neither does our shot at this gig.
Mayor Barney: Let's do this.
(Carrie starts to drum but her sticks break)
Carrie: Noooo!
Mina: Aw man Carrie broke her sticks!
Nick: There's no way she can win now!
Katrina: Oh yes there is remember Johnny Bongo he played without drumsticks.
(Katrina tosses Carrie a bucket)
Katrina: Carrie remember Johnny Bongo!
Carrie: Care go bongo!
(Carrie starts playing and goes into a mental battle with Cole and defeats him)
Mayor Barney: We have the correct answer here in the math of Carrie.
(Mayor Barney hands Carrie the trophy)
Cole: No fair I couldn't focus with all that rock n racket. Hashtag silence!
Katrina: Calculus Cole is Cole!
Mina: Cool your brother has a secret identity!
Katrina: Yeah cool and when everyone finds out my cool brother has a little nerdy secret he'll go completely diary!
Nick: How are gonna get the secret out?
(Katrina notice that Cole's man bun is getting lose)
Cole: This couldn't get worse!
Katrina: Looks like Cole's wound a little tight time to let his hair down.
(Katrina throws a guitar pick and it removes Cole's nerdy look)
Crowd: (Gasp)
Nerd 1: It's Cole Riffen he likes math!
Nerd 2: Just like us, we love you, Cole.
Nerd 1: For your mind!
Crowd: Cole, Cole, Cole, Cole, Cole!
Cole: I'm like you, I'm so like you, and now you all know it, grrr, Carrie!
(Cole goes into angry diary mode with numbers around him)
Katrina: See Nick no problem.
(Song start)
Katrina (Singing): Who cares if I rock a square root? I'll figure out your arithmetic sequence to boot. Just cuz I'm equal to a greater than you doesn't mean I belong in here with all you congruent. I get a kick out of trapezoids, but if they ever found out I would be destroyed. Newton is my favorite mathletic dude, but that's a big secret in my neighborhood. Care!
(Drum solo)
(Katrina walks pass the nerds making them cool until Carrie breaks her drumsticks again)
Carrie: Care go bongo!
Katrina: Who cares that I love trigonometry? If that makes me like you then I don't wanna be me. Yeah!
(Song ends)
(Cole comes out of the crowd)
Kin: Cole you love math like me!
Cole: I think I need a soda kin the king that stunts your growth.
Mina: We rocked the egg out of those egg heads!
Katrina: Yeah and on citywide TV, oh no we made every nerd in Peaceville cool!
Nick: How is that bad thing?
(The power goes out)
Mayor Barney: Without the nerds, there's no one to run the electricity, water, and trains. Do you kids want a job in the field of mathematics?
Katrina: Thanks but no thanks Mayor Barney
(Spotlight shines on Katrina)
Katrina: Math is something that should be left alone. it is, what it is, confusing and painful and only for a few of us to understand. Nerds can really make math do its thing by turning numbers into electricity and running water and Sometimes into music.
(Spotlight turns off)
Nick: Big ups for math Kat.
Katrina: The biggest of ups Nick.
(Katrina and Nick high five)
Katrina: Thanks for coming out everyone.
(Katrina closes garage door)
