The one with the black out.

[Scene: Bellas Residents, Emily is playing her guitar.]

Emily: Hey. Um, I want to sing a song thats about that moment when you suddenly realize what life is all about. OK, here we go. (plays a chord, then the lights go out) OK, thank you very much...That's how I see my life..

...

[Scene: Bellas Residents, all bellas scattered on the living room. Jessica and Ashley sits on love Seat, Aubrey and Chloe sits on kitchen stool, beca sits on seat near window staring outside, Emily sit in Indian style on floor humming, drumming, mimicking air guitar, Flo, Cynthia and fat Amy slumped on sofa, Stacie sits on sofa's hand ]

Emily : Wow, this is so cool, you guys. The entire city is blacked out!

Chloe: Mom says it's all of Manhattan, parts of Brooklyn and Queens, and they have no idea when it's coming back on.

Flo: In my home back there is no electricity at all.

Beca: (into phone) Pants and a sweater? Why, Dad? Who am I gonna meet in a blackout? Power company guys? Eligible looters? Could we talk about this later? OK. (hangs up)

Ashley: Can I borrow the phone? I want to call my home and check on my grandma. (to Jessica) What's my number?

(All bellas look at Ashley and Jessica strangely.)

Ashley: Well, she knows me better.

[Time passes: in Living room, Lily enters with a menorah, the candles lit.]

Lilly: Hi everyone. *wispers*

Flo: And officiating at tonight's blackout, is Lilly Okanakamura.

Lilly: *whispers* Well, My old roomate was Jewish, and into cult these are the only candles we have, so... Happy bloodymerry, everyone.

*silence*

Emily: (at window) Eww, look. Ugly Naked Guy lit a bunch of candles.

(They all look at the window, grossed out, then flinch in pain.)

Beca: That had to hurt!

[Scene: time has passed. The bellas are sitting around the coffee table talking.]

Jessica: Alright, somebody.

Chloe: OK, I'll go. OK, senior year of college... on a pool table.

All: Whoooaa!

Aubrey: That's my sister.

Beca: OK... my weirdest place would have to be... the women's room on the second floor of the New York City public library.

Aubrey: Oh my God! What were you doing in a library?

Ashley: CR, what about you?

CR: Oh... Milwaukee.

Jessica: Um... CR?

CR: Disneyland, 1989, 'It's a Small World After All.'

All: No way!

CR: The ride broke down. So, Denise and I went behind a couple of those mechanical Dutch children... then they fixed the ride, and we were asked never to return to the Magic Kingdom.

Emily: Oh, Stacie.

Stacie: Oh come on, I already went.

Aubrey: You did not go!

All: Come on.

Stacie: Oh, alright. The weirdest place would have to be... (sigh)... oh, the foot of the bed.

Fat Amy: Step back.

Chloe: We have a winner!

[Time lapse, Ashley and Jessica are talking, Fat Amy is on the couch, and Everyone else are out in backyard excluding Beca, Chloe and CR who are talking in kitchen.]

Chloe: I just never had a relationship with that kind of passion, you know, where you have to have somebody right there, in the middle of a theme park.

CR: Well, it was the only thing to do there that didn't have a line.

Beca: There, well, see? I wouldn't even let Jesse kiss me on a miniature golf course.

Chloe: Come on.

Beca: No, There were the people behind us.

CR: (sarcastically) And you didn't marry him because...?

Beca: I mean, do you think there are people who go through life never having that kind of...

Chloe: Probably. But you know, I'll tell you something. Passion is way overrated.

CR: Yeah right.

Chloe: It is. Eventually, it kind of... burns out. But hopefully, what you're left with is trust, and security, and... well, in the my case, buch of assholes. So, you know, for all of those people who miss out on that passion... thing, there's all that other good stuff.

Beca: (sigh) OK.

Chloe: But, um... I don't think that's going to be you.

Beca: You don't.

Chloe: Uh-uh. See, I see... big passion in your future.

Beca: Really?

Chloe: Mmmm.

Beca: You do?

Chloe: I do.

Beca: Oh Chlo, you're so great. (she beams at Chloe and left the kitchen)

CR: You like her.

Chloe: (innocently) What?

CR: You and Beca.

Chloe: (acts surprised) What? (pause) Why would you think that?

CR: Because you know I have a good gaydar. The way you looked at her you have that shine in your eyes besides anyone with eye can see that.

Chloe: No, no, no. What are you talking about?

CR: Chlobear, you're mayor of the denial.

Chloe: I'm not doing anything. She's my best friend. We had been through a lot.

CR: Sisterhood! Look Chloe, I'm telling you, she has no idea what you're feeling. If you don't ask her out soon you're going to end up stuck in the friend zone forever.

Chloe: I, I don't know what you are saying. See, I'm waiting for the right person. (CR looks at her) What? What, now?

CR: Yeeeeaaaahhh! What's messing you up? The piercing? The runaway bride moment? The not having job thing? You've just got to go up to her and say, 'Beca, I think that...' (Beca comes into the kitchen behind them)

Chloe: Shhhh!

Beca: What are you shushing?

Chloe: We're shushing... because... we're trying to hear something. Listen. (everyone is silent) Don't you hear that?

Beca: Ahhhh!

Chloe: See?

Beca: Huh. (she agrees, but looks very confused)

[Scene: Everyone's in hall Emily is singing.]

Emily: (singing) New York City has no power, and the milk is getting sour. But to me it is not scary, 'cause I stay away from dairy... la la la, la la, la la... (she writes the lyrics down)

Chloe: (whispers to CR) OK, here goes.

CR: Are you going to do it?

Chloe: I may or may not had a tiny crush on her.

CR: Do you want any help?

Chloe: I don't know if its just a past thing or I mean we lost a touch for so many years after that and now having her here with us kind of making me resurfacing my feelings for her once again.

CR: Good luck, girl.

Chloe: Thanks. (CR hugs her) OK.

CR: OK. (Chloe goes out on the kitchen to talk to Beca)

(Aubrey walks in, starts to go in the kitchen.)

CR: Hey, where are you going?

Aubrey: in kitchen.

CR: You can't go in there.

Aubrey: Why not?

CR: Because of... the reason.

Aubrey: And that would be?

CR: I, um, can't tell you.

Aubrey: CR, what's going on?

CR: OK, you've got to promise that you'll never, ever tell Chloe that I told you.

Aubrey: About what?

CR: She's planning your birthday party.

Aubrey: Oh my God! I love her!

CR: (as Emily enters) You'd better act surprised.

Emily: About what?

Aubrey: My surprise party!

Emily: What surprise party?

Aubrey: Oh stop it. CR already told me.

Emily: Well, she didn't tell me.

CR: Hey, don't look at me. This is Chloe's thing.

Emily: This is so typical. I'm always the last one to know everything.

Aubrey: No, you are not. We tell you stuff.

Emily: Yuh-huh! I was the last one to know when Lily got missing in the church. I was the last one to know when you had a crush on Stacie when she was moving in with us. (Aubrey gestures at Emily to shut up as Stacie perks up upon hearing her name; she looks surprised but pleased) Looks like I was second to last.

[Scene: Beca and Chloe's in kitchen, they are talking.]

Beca: Hmmm... this is so nice.

Chloe: OK, I have a question. Well, actually, it's not so much a question as.. more of a general wondering... ment.

Beca: OK.

Chloe: OK. Here goes. For a while now, I've been wanting to, um...

[Flo enters in kitchen and see something shining behind Beca]

Flo: shhh! (looking at it closely getting near Beca)

Beca: What?

Flo: There's something behind your back. Looks like a pair of devil's eyes (Flo suddenly screams making the cat jumps on Beca's shoulders)

Beca : Ow!

[Cut to inside. Bellas are singing while in kitchen, Chloe and Flo are trying to get the cat off of Beca' shoulder.]

Bellas: (singing) I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign Life is demanding without understanding, I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign ...

[Scene: In Hall, Emily is holding the cat, Chloe is treating the scratches on Beca' back. Lily is holding the menorah over the wound.]

Chloe: (to Beca) This is just Bactine. It won't hurt.

(Beca flinches in pain.)

Lily: Sorry, that was wax.

Emily: Oh, poor little Tooty is scared to death. We should find his owner.

Beca: Why don't we just put 'poor little Tooty' out in the street?

Jessica: During a blackout? He'd get trampled!

Beca: (nonchalantly) Yeah?

[Scene: At street, Bellas are trying to find the cat's owner.]

Fat Amy: (stops at a door) Oh no, the Mendels, they hate all living things, right?

Aubrey: Oh. (they knock at the next door, Mr. Heckles answers) Hi. We just found this cat and we're looking for the owner.

Mr. Heckles: Er, yeah, it's mine.

Emily: (trying to hold back the struggling cat) He seems to hate you. Are you sure?

Mr. Heckles: Yeah, it's my cat. Give me my cat.

Ashley: Wait a minute. What's his name?

Mr. Heckles: Ehhhh... B-Buttons.

Aubrey: Bob Buttons?

Mr. Heckles: Mmm. Bob Buttons. Here, Bob Buttons.

Emily: (the cat runs away from her) Oooh! You are a very bad man!

Mr. Heckles: (as Bellas leave) You owe me a cat.

[Scene: Bellas split into pairs. Chloe and Beca into one group has gone off to look for the cat's owner.]

Chloe: Here, kitty-kitty. Here kitty-kitty. Where did you go, little kitty-kitty-kitty? Here kitty-kitty-kitty-kitty...

(While looking at the floor for the cat, they runs into a pair of legs. They slowly gets up and sees a gorgeous German goddess holding the cat. Who, by the way, you'll hate very, very soon. The woman. Not the cat.)

Kommisar: (something German)

Beca: Wow. (she exhales in amazement, blowing the candle out leaving jealous Chloe looking at her oddly)

[Scene: Bella's residency, Bellas are playing Monopoly.]

Fat Amy: (rolling) Lucky sixes...

Beca: (entering with kommisar) Everybody, this is Kommisar. Kommisar, I want you to meet my friends. This is CR.

Kommisar: (pointing at game) Monopoly!

Beca: Look at that!

Aubrey: So, um... where did Kommisar come from?

Beca: Oh... Germany, I think.

Chloe: No, she means tonight, in the building. Suddenly. Into our lives.

Beca: Well, the cat... the cat turned out to be Kommisar's cat!

Chloe: That, that is funny... (to CR)... and Kommisar keeps touching her.

(Emily enters.)

Emily: Alright. I looked all over the building and I couldn't find the kitty anywhere.

Chloe: Oh, we found him. He was Kommisar's cat.

Emily: Ah! Well! There you go! Last to know again! And I'm guessing... since nobody told me... this is?

Beca: Ah, Kommisar, this is Emily.

Kommisar: (something in German, she is apparently attracted to Emily)

Emily: (smiling) Thanks...I guess?!

[Scene: Time passes, Beca and Kommisar are at the window. Chloe and CR are watching disgustedly.]

Kommisar: (something romantic in German about Beca and the mouse?)

Chloe: (mocking kommisar) Blah blah blah, blah blah blah... blah blaaaaaah...

(Beca walks away from kommisar, blushing.)

Chloe: Wha-What did she say that was so romantic?

Beca: I have absolutely no idea.

Chloe: That's... that's classic.

Beca: (to Chloe and CR) Oh my God, you guys, what am I doing? What am I doing? This is so un-me! (Waving her hands so much)

CR: If you want, I'll do it.

(Chloe looks at CR.)

Stacie: (joins the conversation) I know, I just want to bite her bottom lip. (Chloe looks at her) But I won't.

Beca: God, the first time she smiled at me... those three seconds were more exciting than three weeks in Bermuda with Jesse.

Emily:(joins) You know, did you ride mopeds? 'Cause I've heard... (they stare at her)... oh, I see... it's not about that right now. OK.

Beca: Y'know, I know it's totally superficial and we have absolutely nothing in common, and we don't even speak the same language but Goooooooddddddd...

[Cut to the other side of the apartment, Chloe has gone over to straighten things out with Kommisar.]

Chloe: Kommisar. Hi.

Kommisar: Chloe!

(Chloe notices that Kommisar is standing on a step, which makes her more taller. Chloe gets up on the one step above her step so she can look eye to eye at Kommisar.)

Chloe: Listen. Um, listen. Something you should... know... um, Beca and I... we're kind of a thing.

Kommisar: Thing?

Chloe: Thing, yes. Thing.

Kommisar: Ah, you... have the sex?

Chloe: No, no, no. Technically the... sex is not... being had, but that's... see, that's not the point. See, um, the point is that... Beca and I should be, er, together. You know, and if you get in the... um...

Kommisar: Bed?

Chloe: No, no, that's not where I was going. Er, if you get in the... way, of us becoming a thing, then I would be, well, very sad.

Kommisar: Oh!

Chloe: Yeah! So Okay?

Kommisar: Alright.

Chloe: So you do know a little English.

Kommisar: wenig... a litl..

Chloe: Do you know the word crapweasel?

Kommisar: No.

Chloe: That's funny, because you know, you are a huge crapweasel!

(They hug.)

[Scene: the gang is all sitting around the table.]

Flo: Oh, look look look. The last candle's about to burn out. 10, 9, 8, 7... (time lapse)... negative 46, negative 47, negative 48... (someone blows it out, the room gets completely dark)

Fat Amy: Thank you.

Stacie: Thanks.

Beca: Kinda... spooky without any lights.

Stacie: (does a maniacal laugh) Bwah-hah-hah!

(Everyone starts to imitate him.)

Chloe: OK, guys, guys? I have the definitive one. Mwwwooooo-hah-hah...

(The lights come back on, and Kommisar and Beca are making out. Chloe clutches her chest.)

Chloe: Oh.. oh... oh.

CR: Hey Chloe. This probably isn't the best time to bring it up, but you have to throw a party for Aubrey.
