Scary Movie 6
Ch. 9:
Pompeii; Get Down, Make Love
While Danny is out on his nightly prowl, David continues his transformation and Richie goes out to look for Danny in order to see if he really is a werewolf. He is out in the woods after following wolf tracks.
"Dad, where are you?" Richie calls out.
There is no answer and he keeps walking deeper into the woods.
Meanwhile back at the Banner Household
David has successfully transformed into the Hulk, causing the girl to back away even more.
The Hulk rips off his shirt and lets out a loud, "Rrrrraaaahhh!". The girl just stares at him, waiting for him to make the first move. The Hulk stares back at the girl, waiting for her to make her move. The girl tilts her head to the side and water comes out of her ear, staining the carpet. This causes the Hulk to get angry and punch her in the face. The girl gets back up and charges at the Hulk, only for the Hulk to pick her up and toss her back into the tv screen. The girl attempts to come back out of the tv screen, but, the Hulk knocks her out and rips the plug out of the wall, before running out of the house to find somewhere to hide.
While in the south part of the woods
Richie is trying to find Danny as he doesn't know or even believe he is a werewolf.
"Dad, you're starting to scare me! Please show yourself." Richie is scared stiff.
There is no answer, so, Richie goes more and more deeper. Suddenly, Danny, in his werewolf form, comes out from behind a tree and snarls. Richie turns his flashlight on and flashes it around in order to see if he spots anything. Before he knows it or turns around, Danny pounces on him and begins to attack him.
"Oh God help me! Somebody help!" Richie yells as he is trying to get the werewolf off of him.
Danny manages to scratch him, drip saliva on the scratch marks, and finally start strangling him. Richie, gasping for air, keeps trying to pry the werewolf off of him until he loses consciousness. However, before any possible finish off of the attack could happen, Danny begins to transform back to his human-self and he lets go of Richie's throat.
On the north side of the woods
The Hulk is running through the woods in order to hide away until he goes back to his human-self. However, unbeknownst to him, Danny is in the same area and sees that he is still in his werewolf form, but, unaware that it is Danny and not wanting someone to spot him, David still tries to find a place to hide.
Once he finds the place, he starts reverting back to his normal self and passes out.
Back on the South side of the woods
Danny is back to his human form and has a look of horror on his face when he sees Richie unconscious. However, Richie soon wakes up and rubs his neck.
"Son!" Danny's look of horror turns to that of guilt, while looking at Richie's wounds.
"D-Dad...is the monster gone?" Richie asks in a raspy way.
"Richie, I could have killed you! Why did you follow me, boy?" Danny looks down.
"I followed you, because, I wanted to see if there was really a werewolf or if it was a myth." Richie sits up.
"Son, there is a werewolf. I'm the monster." Danny looks into his eyes.
"Dad, come on, you're not the-" Richie pauses as he lets it all sink in, "Oh my God! Dad, you're-you're the monster?"
"Yes, Richie, as awful as it sounds and as much as you may not want to believe it, well, it's true." Danny has a look of shame in his eyes.
"Oh, Dad, how did it happen?" Richie has a look of concern and sympathy in his eyes.
"Well, I was attacked a few months back by a wolf, only it wasn't a real wolf. It was a man, a werewolf. He was scared off and now, I turn into a wolf at night when the moon is full." Danny answers.
"Damn, dad! I'm sorry that happened." Richie feels bad for his father.
"Well, what can you do? The only other option is killing with a silver bullet, but, I don't want to take my own life or anybody to do it for me. I have learned to live with my curse. It's all I can do, son." Danny tells him.
"After mom told me, I just had to follow you in order to see for myself, if it was true or not. I now know that it was true." Richie puts a comforting hand on Danny's shoulder and rubs it.
"Son, you really shouldn't have followed me, because, I could've killed you. I mean what if I wasn't about to turn back to my normal self? I would've torn you to shreds." Danny stands up and helps Richie up.
"But, dad, I'm fine. I mean I have a few scratches here and there, but, I am ok." Richie replies.
"Scratches? Let me see." Danny gets concerned.
"Yeah, like they're all over my arms and my upper torso." Richie shows him the scratches.
"I'm sorry I did that, son." Danny says.
"It's cool, they're just scratches." Richie shrugs it off.
"Do they hurt?" Danny asks.
"Nope." Richie replies.
"Well, let's just go home and we'll figure it out in the morning." Danny is getting exhausted.
Richie and Danny both stand up and head home.
Moments later
Danny and Richie are finally home and go inside the house. Once inside, they both retire to bed in order to get whatever hours they have left to sleep.
The next day, Richie gets up and goes to his mirror in order to look at the scratch marks he got last night. After he takes his shirt off, he is surprised to see that the scratch marks are gone and that there is a star on his chest instead.
"Richie, how are-" Danny comes in and stops in his tracks when he sees that the scratch marks are surprisingly gone.
"Dad, they're gone. The scratch marks are gone. My immune system must really be amazing." Richie says in excitement.
"No, Richie, scratch marks don't heal overnight. No, this means you may have what I have." Danny gets a concerned look on his face.
"Oh dad, just because you're one, doesn't mean I am one." Richie brushes the suggestion off.
"Richie, do you doubt that star on your chest?! That is the same star that is on my chest. Look!" Danny opens his shirt and shows Richie the star on his chest.
"Dad, it's just a beauty mark. No need to worry." Richie shakes his head.
"Richie, that is one of the same-" Danny gets cut off.
"Danny! Richie! There's breakfast." Chastity calls out from the kitchen.
"We'll discuss this later." Danny says as he exits the room and goes downstairs.
Richie shrugs and follows him.
Meanwhile out in the woods
David regains consciousness and looks around, wondering where he is and how he got there. He cannot remember what happened last night.
"Where am I?" David asks himself as he gets up off the ground.
He looks around until he finds an exit and begins heading toward it, in order to find his way home.
David finally gets home and tries to open the door, but, finds that it is locked and begins knocking.
Inside the bedroom
Kelly is sound asleep, when she suddenly hears the knocking.
"David, answer the door." Kelly says, her eyes still shut.
No answer.
"David, I-" Kelly turns over to find that David isn't there.
Figuring that he must be downstairs, she gets up, puts her white satin robe on and goes downstairs. Once she gets downstairs, she sees that he isn't even in the house and decides to answer the door.
"Hey." David greets her.
"David, why didn't you use your key?" Kelly scratches her head.
"Didn't have it on me." David replies.
"Why are you shirtless?" Kelly notices he isn't wearing a shirt.
"Hey, you tell me. All I know is that I woke up in the woods." David walks in and shuts the door.
"In the woods?" Kelly is confused.
"Yeah, what happened last night?" David is a bit dazed.
"I don't know. You must have walked in your sleep last night or something." Kelly suggests.
"Maybe, I suppose." David shrugs.
"Well, anyways, to change the subject, did you know that Danny and his family are doing a performance?" Kelly asks.
"No, I didn't know that. I mean I knew there was singing, but, I didn't know he and his family were doing it." David is intrigued.
"He even invited us to come to his performance gig." Kelly pours him a cup of coffee.
"Wow! I'll have to go over there in a bit and pay a visit." David grabs a black t-shirt from the closet and puts it on.
"Also, did you know that Olivia and the girls have been singing?" Kelly hands him his cup of coffee.
"Nope, I'll have to listen to them." David says, before taking a sip.
Back at the Gotti household
Danny, George, and the others are in the garage, setting up for another practice performance. However, Danny is still stressing about Richie's scratches and it makes matters worse when Richie comes into the garage and he notices that his appearance has altered.
"Dad, you OK?" Richie asks.
"Yeah, son, I'm good, just nerves, that's all." Danny clearly lies through his teeth while trying hard not to let Richie know that he saw that Richie's eyes went from their pretty baby blue to wolf-like golden.
"So, what songs are we going to start with?" Freddie asks.
"I'd like to go first with the Kinks' song You Really Got Me." Richie chimes in.
"OK." Axl nods his head.
"Well, I need you, Freddie, Lyle, and Jacob up here." Richie motions for them.
"Can't we do Warren Zevon's song Werewolves of London?" Lyle asks.
Danny's eyes get wide and sweat trickles down his face.
"Maybe, later on." Richie sees the look on Danny's face.
Freddie, Axl, Lyle, and Jacob get up on the stage and are about to begin, when suddenly there is a knock at the front door.
"Whoever, it is, Chastity, let 'em in." Danny calls out.
"Danny, come here! You'll never believe who it is at the door." Chastity yells back.
"Be right back, boys." Danny gets up from the chair and leaves the garage.
At the front door
Danny gets to the front door, but, cannot see who is there due to Chastity standing in the way.
"Chas, I can't see." Danny says.
"How about now?" Chastity moves aside.
"I-Oh my God! David?!" Danny is in complete awe.
"Hi, Danny." David greets.
"Son of a bitch! I'm so glad to see you!" Danny hugs him.
"It's good to see you too! How have you been?" David asks.
"I've been good. How have you been, because, you look like an entirely different person?" Danny notices the veins popping out of David's arms.
"Eh, been working out for decades and I'm also pretty good. I just can't believe that we have been neighbors all this time and we never once passed each other or even interacted." David puts his hand on the door.
"I know right, but, now, we're making up for lost times." Danny tilts his head to the side, briefly.
"Well, Kelly told me that you and your family have been doing practice performances and that you invited us to your performance gig." David tells him.
"That's right." Danny nods his head.
"I was wondering, since I just found out today, but, I was wondering if my girls and their men could be in it? If you don't mind." David offers.
"Of course! Bring 'em over here! I'd love to hear their talents." Danny pats him on the shoulder.
"OK, thanks." David smiles.
"Why don't you stay and watch the boys and me perform." Danny offers.
"Thanks, but, I'm gonna go bring my girls and they can tell their men to come over." David pats him on the shoulder.
"OK, sounds good." Danny nods.
David gave a smile, playfully punches Danny in the shoulder, and heads home.
"Wow! This is great!" Danny shuts the door.
"What is?" Chastity asks.
"That I reunited with my military buddy and now, I have more singers in my performance!" Danny runs back to the garage.
Back at the Banner household
David comes in and tells Kelly what just happened. Excited, Kelly calls Sara, Mandy, and Olivia into the living room. They notice that David is super excited since he has a big smile on his face.
"Why did mom call us in?" Sara asks.
"Well, first off, she told me about you girls singing and it made me think that you girls should be in a performance gig." David starts.
"You really think so?" Sara is curious.
"Wait, mom told you?!" Olivia interjects.
"Yes, and I want to listen to you girls. Anyways-" David gets cut off.
"Can I be the lead since I'm obviously the pretty one?" Mandy chimes in.
"Hey! It's obvious that I am leader-worthy since I am the oldest." Sara interrupts her.
"And the dumbest! That's why I should be the leader." Olivia turns to David, "So, dad, what's it gonna be? Where is this performance?"
"Well, my friend and our neighbor, Danny, has been kind enough to let you girls join into his performance gig. So, what do you girls say?" David asks.
"Sure." Sara nods her head.
"I'm in." Mandy says.
"What about you, Livvie?" Kelly asks.
"Dad." Olivia looks at David.
"Yes?" David asks.
"Garage, now." Olivia stands up and motions for her dad to follow her.
"Be right back." David gets up and follows her.
Inside the Banner's garage
Olivia and David go into the garage and shut the door. David is curious to why Olivia brought him in.
"So, Livvie, why are we in the garage?" David asks.
"Well, dad, I-I don't think I want to be in Mr. Gotti's performance gig." Olivia looks down.
"What do you mean, sweetheart?" David has a look of concern on his face.
"Well, I don't know if I'll even fit in. I mean I don't have an outrageous outfit." Olivia stare at her feet.
"Baby, you don't need an outrageous outfit. You're fine with what you have and plus, Danny won't make you wear an outrageous outfit. If anything, he'd have Chastity make one for you or better yet, Mandy could make one for you, but, knowing that it is his performance gig and that he is a genuine friend of mine, you won't have to worry about fitting in and you shouldn't." David puts his arm around her.
"Really?" Olivia looks up at him.
"Yes, Olivia." David rubs her shoulder.
"Then, why does Mandy get to be the leader?" Olivia asks.
"She's not the leader. Between you and me, you're the leader." David tells her.
"Because, I'm crazy like you?" Olivia asks in a droll way.
"Don't get cocky, Livvie." David replies.
"Well, I'm in, dad. Thanks for getting us that gig." Olivia hugs him.
"You're welcome, sweetie. Now, you and the other two get in here and let me see you practice before I take you over there to his house." David releases her from his hug.
"OK, dad." Olivia gets up, opens the door, and goes to get Mandy and Sara.
David sits there with a smile on his face as he eagerly waits for the girls to sing.
"OK, dad, we're here." Olivia comes in, Mandy and Sara following.
"Hey, dad, is it OK if we text our guys to come over and maybe they can perform with us?" Sara asks.
"Sure." David nods.
Sara, Mandy, and Olivia take a minute to text their guys. Then, they put their phones aside and begin setting up.
Kelly walks in and sits beside David. Then, without further ado, Olivia, Sara, and Mandy begin singing Bastille's song "Pompeii":
"Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu."
David and Kelly have big smiles on their faces as they clap.
"How was that?" Olivia asks.
"You girls did a great job!" David is showing all his pride.
"I knew you girls had it in you." Kelly gives a thumbs up.
Back at the Gotti household, inside the Gotti's garage
While the boys are debating which song to start with, Danny continues to wallow in his own guilt, since he knows that he attacked Richie last night and that Richie may turn into a werewolf soon.
"Well, how about we do Mr. Roboto by Styx?" Axl suggests.
"No, let's do Keep Yourself Alive, again." Freddie chimes in.
"How about we do One Vision?" Jacob offers.
"Boys, let's do Queen's song Get Down, Make Love." Danny tells them.
"Ok." Axl, Lyle, Freddie, Jacob, and Richie nod their heads.
Danny gets up on the stage and after Tori, Phoebe, Kenzi, Jade, and Jenny come in and sit down, they begin singing Queen's song "Get Down, Make Love":
"Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
You take my body, I give you heat
You say you're hungry, I give you meat
I suck your mind, you blow my head
Make love (Make love) inside your bed
Everybody get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Every time I get hot, you wanna cool down
Every time I get high, you say you wanna come down
You say it's enough, in fact, it's too much
Every time I get a, get down, get down
Get down, make love
(Get down) I can squeeze, (make love) you can shake me
(Get down) I can feel (make love) when you break me
(Get down) Come on so heavy (make love)
(Get down) when you take me (make love) You make love
You make love
(Get down) you make love, you make love
(Make love) You can make everybody
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Every time I get high, you wanna come down
Every time I get hot, you say you want to cool down
You say it's enough, in fact, it's too much
Every time I wanna get down, get down
Get down
Make love, make love, make love, make love
Aah!
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Every time I get hot, you wanna cool down
Every time I get high, you say you wanna come down
You say it's enough, in fact, it's just too much
Every time I wanna get down, get down
Get down, make love."
Tori and the girls clap as they bow.
"Never heard that one before and I have listened to all of Queen's songs." Jenny says.
"What song next?" Lyle asks.
"How about we do our duet, Lyle?" Tori suggests.
"Ok." Lyle replies.
Then, as Danny and the boys step aside, Lyle and Tori begin singing their duet, "Tell me that you love me":
"Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
The situation turns around enough to figure out
That someone else has let you down
So many times I don't know why
But I know we can make it
As long as you say it
So tell me that you love me, yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
Maybe if you take one more
Then, I would know for sure
There's nothing left to say
Tell me that you love me anyway
So tell me that you love me anyway
Whoa, oh, oh
Waking up beside yourself and what you feel inside
Is being shared with someone else
Nowhere to hide, I don't know why
But I know we can make it
As long as you say it
So tell me that you love me, yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
Maybe if you take one more
Then, I would know for sure
There's nothing left to say
But tell me that you love me anyway
Show me, look what we found
It's turning around everyday
I can hear what you say
Now, I know why, I know we can make it
If you tell me that you love me, yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
Maybe if you take one more
So tell me that you love me, yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
Maybe if you take one more
Then, I would know for sure
There's nothing left to say
But tell me that you love me anyway."
As they bow, everyone applauds their performance, even whistling.
"What next?" Tori asks.
"Jacob and I are going to do our duet." Jade says.
As Tori and Lyle step aside, Jade and Jacob get up on the stage and begin singing their duet, Sonny and Cher's song, "I got you, babe":
"They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
Cause you got me, and baby I got you
Babe
I got you babe, I got you babe
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Babe
I got you babe, I got you babe
I got flowers in the spring, I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
So let them say your hair's too long
Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Babe
I got you babe, I got you babe
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe."
There is another round of loud applause as they bow and share an embrace.
"What song is next?" Freddie asks.
"Love of my life." Danny replies.
Then, as Jade goes back to her seat, Jacob is joined on stage with Danny, Freddie, Lyle, Axl, and Richie, and without further ado, they begin singing Queen's song Love of my life:
"Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart, and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back, don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life, don't leave me
You've taken my love,
(All of my love)
And now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
(Please bring it)
Bring it back, bring it back, don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Who will remember, when this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
(Ooh)
When I grow older, I will be there at your side
To remind you how I still love you , I still love you
(Ooh)
Back, hurry back, please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life
Ooh, ooh."
As they bow, the girls applaud and brush tears away from their eyes.
"What song will we do next?" Lyle asks.
"How about the Ghostbusters theme song?" Axl suggests.
"No, it took me a long ass time to get that one out of my head." Freddie shakes his head.
"It takes you a long ass time to do anything." Axl says in a wisecracking way.
"OK, you know what? We can-" Freddie gets cut off.
"ENOUGH! Boys, we're going to do I want to break free." Danny stops them from going at it, fist-to-fist.
"Do we have to wear drag?" Freddie and the boys ask.
"No, we don't have to wear drag." Danny says, mockingly.
"Thanks God!" Freddie and the boys say.
Then, without further ado, they begin performing Queen's song, I want to break free:
"I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied, I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love
It's strange but it's true, yeah
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh, how I want to be free, baby
Oh, how I want to be free
Oh, how I want to break free
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby, can't you see?
I've got to break free
I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free."
They bow and get another round of applause.
"What song is next?" Lyle asks.
"I'm going to sing A thousand years." Phoebe chimes in.
As they step off to the side, Phoebe begins performing Christina Perri's song, A Thousand Years:
"Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."
"That was very beautiful the second time, Phoebe." Axl says.
"Thanks, Axl." Phoebe walks up to him and gives him a peck on the cheek.
"What song, next?" Lyle asks.
"Uh...How about the F.U.N. song from Spongebob?" Freddie jokingly offers.
Richie slaps him in the back of the head.
"How about Somebody to Love?" Jacob suggests.
Before anybody could answer, Duke comes into the garage, barking.
"What is it boy?" Danny asks.
"I believe your "friend" is here." Duke replies.
"Who is it?" Danny was curious.
"It's me and the girls." David walks in with Sara, Mandy, and Olivia.
"Hey, guys. You took up my offer after all, huh?" Danny says.
"Livvie drove a hard bargain at first, but, she came around, eventually." David pats Olivia on the shoulder.
"Uh, yeah, who are they?" Duke asks, while the fur on his back stands up.
"It's OK, Duke, it's only my friend David and his daughters, Sara, Mandy, and Olivia." Danny pets Duke.
"I didn't know you had a dog." David puts his hand down for Duke to sniff.
"Yeah, I rescued him from coyotes and he has been a fierce guardian of the house ever since." Danny scratches Duke's ears.
"Is he OK with us being here?" David asks.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm OK with you and your kids." Duke sarcastically answers, while he sniffs his hand and licks it, "You just be nice to my man here or there will be trouble!"
"Duke, be nice." Danny gives him the look.
"Yeah...sure...whatever! I'm just protecting you, Sherlock." Duke sasses back in a mafia-like way, before whacking him with his tail and walking off.
"Ouch!" Danny rubs his cheek.
"That dog has a personality all his own." David notices Duke's sassy personality.
"Oh, he's a good dog at times." Danny replies.
Duke snarls and growls at him.
"I mean all the time." Danny rolls his eyes after hearing Duke's "disapproval" of the "at times" line.
Sara, Mandy, and Olivia laugh.
"My dog, Vincent is the same exact way." David tries hard not to laugh, but, cannot help himself.
"What type of dog is Vincent?" Danny asks.
"Same as yours, a German Shepherd." David gives Duke a pet on the head.
"And he has a sarcastic personality, too?" Danny asks.
"Hey, can you get on with the music and give us a headache, already?" Duke snarks as he puts his head on top of his paws.
"Not nice to interrupt, Duke." Danny gives him a look.
"Yes, he has the same sarcastic personality, only he knows who the big dog is in our house." David tries to keep a straight face.
"Who is the big dog in your house?" Danny folds his arms.
"You're lookin' right at him." David gives Danny a hint.
Danny takes a while until he finally gets David's hint and nods his head
"Uh, ahem." Olivia clears her throat.
"Right, we better get on with their practice performances or whatever you call them." David nods his head after realizing that he got easily distracted.
"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Anyways, what song do you girls want to start out with?" Danny asks.
"Pompeii." Sara answers.
Then as Danny and everyone all sat in their chairs, Sara, Mandy, and Olivia perform Bastille's song Pompeii:
"Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu."
As they bow, everyone else claps and applauds their performance.
"What song is next?" Axl asks.
"Get down, make love." Danny replies.
He and the boys got up onto the stage and as Olivia and her sisters step aside, they begin performing Queen's song, Get Down, Make Love:
"Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
You take my body, I give you heat
You say you're hungry, I give you meat
I suck your mind, you blow my head
Make love (Make love) inside your bed
Everybody get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Every time I get hot, you wanna cool down
Every time I get high, you say you wanna come down
You say it's enough, in fact, it's too much
Every time I get a, get down, get down
Get down, make love
(Get down) I can squeeze, (make love) you can shake me
(Get down) I can feel (make love) when you break me
(Get down) Come on so heavy (make love)
(Get down) when you take me (make love) You make love
You make love
(Get down) you make love, you make love
(Make love) You can make everybody
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Every time I get high, you wanna come down
Every time I get hot, you say you want to cool down
You say it's enough, in fact, it's too much
Every time I wanna get down, get down
Get down
Make love, make love, make love, make love
Aah!
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Every time I get hot, you wanna cool down
Every time I get high, you say you wanna come down
You say it's enough, in fact, it's just too much
Every time I wanna get down, get down
Get down, make love."
As they bow, everyone claps and David has a smile on his face and glossy eyes, indicating that this song reminded him of something.
"You OK, Dave?" Danny asks after seeing the smile and glazed over eyes.
"Yeah, I'm cool. It is just that, that song reminded me of something." David rubs his eyes.
"What did it remind you of?" Danny asks.
"Well, let me put it this way, Kelly and I had that song playing at our wedding and our anniversary is almost coming up and it just reminded me of the day I got married." David smiles while remembering that special day.
"Oh, wow! Congrats to you two kids! How long?" Danny says.
"31 years." David is starting to choke up, despite trying hard not to.
"Wow! I'm so happy for you two! Well, for Chas and me, it'll be 43 years this coming March on the 17th." Danny starts remembering the day he and Chastity got married.
"No, fucking way!" David is amazed.
"Yupp! For Georgie and Liz it'll be 27 years in May and how long for Mike and Sharon?" Danny asks.
"The hell if I care about Mike and Sharon." David rolls his eyes.
"Oh, shit! Are you two not speaking, again?" Danny's tone changes.
"When do we not, not speak?! I'm really surprised that you and George manage to get along without having the uncontrollable urges to kill each other." David crosses his arms.
"I wouldn't say that'd be the case all the time, because, there are moments where George and I do almost kill each other. Anyways, what happened between you and Mike? Surely, you're not making Kelly and Sharon suffer over your bitter feud with your brother." Danny shrugs.
"More like what doesn't happen between Mike and me and no, I'm not making Kelly suffer and I'm guessing Mike isn't making Sharon suffer. You see, Dan, that's one thing that my father always taught me, never make others suffer over your fight. Do you make your wives suffer whenever you and George fight?" David looks to the side and unfolds his arms.
"No and on the second part, that is true, what doesn't go on between you and Mike that results in fights and the silent treatment." Danny shakes his head.
"Well, Mike owes me $20 and he only gave me ten." David sounds a bit annoyed.
"He gave you a lousy $10? What's wrong with that?" Danny asks.
"What's wrong with it?! He owes my $20 and when you owe someone a certain amount, you payback that amount, you don't half-ass it and pay half." David slightly raises his voice.
"Yeah, but, Dave-" Danny gets cut off.
"Danny, you don't screw family! That is just the bottom line and Mike has screwed me lots of times." David shakes his head.
"Uh, Dave, that's incest!" Danny gets a disgusted look on his face.
"Danny, when I say screw, I mean either double cross or renege! Grow up and get your head out of your rear end and glue it back onto your shoulders!" David slaps Danny in the back of the head due to being disgusted by Danny's remark.
"Ouch! Easy, Dave!" Danny rubs his head.
"As far as I am concerned, my brother is dead to me." David crosses his arms, again.
"Really, Dave, really?! Over money?!" Danny is a bit peeved at David.
"Look, he promised that he would pay it back and I waited 6 fucking months until he came up with the money and when he did, he only gave me $10, so, yes, really!" David snarks.
"Aye Caramba, Dave!" Danny rolls his eyes and shakes his head.
"Hey, uh, what song will be next?" Axl asks.
"How about for now, you kids take-" Danny is immediately cut off when they run out of the garage like a herd of wild animals.
"Those kids ran out like a herd of animals!" David shakes his head and rolls his eyes, while trying to hold back any laughter.
"I never expected it from the girls. The boys are the ones who usually run out or fall on each other. Well, not all of them, since, Richie has returned from the military and I believe he has grown out of that behavior." Danny notices that Richie is still in the garage, sees that Richie's teeth are now fang-like, and gets wide eyed.
"What? I'm just waiting my turn to go out." Richie shrugs.
"I never knew Richie was in the military." David is surprised.
"Yeah, Mr. Banner, I went into the military, right after 9/11. I needed self-discipline and let me tell you, I got it." Richie smiles.
"Good for you, son. I'm very proud of you." David pats him on the shoulder, "You know something? Your dad and I served together."
"No, way! Really?" Richie asks.
"Yup." David nods his head.
"Thank you for your service." Richie shakes his hand.
"Thank you, I really appreciate that and I thank you too." David gives him a side hug and quickly sees Richie's much altered appearance.
"Anything wrong, Mr. Banner?" Richie asked.
"No, not a thing." David shakes head.
"OK, then, I better go join Kenzi. See you, later, dad and Mr. B." Richie says, before leaving the garage.
"You raised him well." David nods his head, while still expressing his pride.
"Yupp, I had to send him into the military. He was wild and unruly, but, the military straightened him out. I'm very glad for that." Danny smiles and looks down for a brief moment.
"Unfortunately, Mike served with us. What a joke that was!" David's smile turns back into a frown.
"Dave, you should really let it go." Danny tells him.
"Why?! So, he could one up me?! No!" David says in a frosty tone.
"David, life is too short to-" Danny is cut off, yet again.
"Look, Danny, you're my friend and all, but, seriously, you're starting to make me a bit angry and I believe you know what happens when I get angry." David gives him what seems to be a warning.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know!" Danny does another eye roll.
"Is your son alright?" David asks.
"Yeah, he's uh fine. Wh-why do you ask?" Danny is nervous.
"Nothing important. I was just checking. Anyways, you know something? It's been a while since we have actually been on a case." David quickly changes the subject.
"A case?" Danny didn't pay any attention to what David said.
"I said that it has been a while since we were on a case. I mean we are detectives. They use to call us the male version of "Charlie's Angels"." David tells him.
"Oh, yeah, I've been on sick leave for a while and focusing on my dream which is singing, but, you do realize Mike was our third "male angel"?" Danny gives him a look.
"Look, we don't need Mike to go on every case with us, do we?!" David shakes his head, again.
"We do, Dave, we do." Danny tilts his head to the side for a brief moment.
"Well, he is not going to join us until he gives me back the $20 he owes." David sounds a bit demanding.
"God, you're stubborn!" Danny says.
"Hey, somebody has to be stubborn." David shrugs.
"David, that's not a good habit." Danny shakes his head and gives him a disapproving look.
"Well, it's MY habit and I choose to keep it for as long as I can." David says with a bit of sass.
"Look, David, with all due respect and I know it isn't my place to say anything, but, why don't you...I don't know...uh...look I usually don't want to butt in and tell people what to-" Danny is interrupted, again.
"Then, don't!" David stomps his foot.
"OK." Danny says, with a bit nervousness in his voice.
"Thank you! Now, if you don't mind, I'll be on my way and maybe, come by later on and hang out like old times." David goes toward the door.
"OK, but, who else is coming with you?" Danny asks.
"Maybe Larry, that car repairman, if he is not too busy and maybe our crippled friend Adam." David says as he heads out of the garage.
"God, I wish there was just a way to bring Mike and Dave back together." Danny whispers to himself as he sits down on a chair and stares at the ground.
Moments later
Danny is still sitting on the chair and looking at the ground, when Chastity walks in and sits next to him.
"Hey, Chas, I didn't hear you come in." Danny says.
"Dan, is everything alright?" Chastity asks.
"Oh, everything is alright with me, but, it isn't going so well with Mike and Dave." Danny replies.
"They're at it, again, huh? Over what, this time?" Chastity asks.
"Money." Danny shakes his head.
"How come I am not too surprised?" Chastity rolls her eyes.
"I know right. Well, David and I got to talking about how we were on cases all the time and I told him that Mike was always our third "male angel" since people use to say that we were the male version of "Charlie's Angels" and in a way, I liked it and I just hope we could go back on cases." Danny tells her.
"But, Danny, you are so focused on your performance! How will you manage to squeeze in detective time?" Chastity is a bit thrown off.
"Meh, the concert thing could wait, I suppose. I mean my mind is laser focused on getting Mike and Dave back together, now." Danny looks off to the side.
"I hope they make amends too, because, I do hate it when they fight." Chastity shrugs.
"OK, then it is all settled. I'm going to go over to Dave's and help them make amends." Danny stands up from the chair.
"It's all settled that you'll do nothing of the kind." Chastity grabs him by the belt loop.
"What do you mean?" Danny gives her a strange look.
"I believe that we both agreed on not meddling into other's lives, did we not?" Chastity gives him a look of disapproval.
"Chas, I'm just trying to get my friends back together, what's wrong with that? I mean, they may even thank me." Danny pleads.
"Yeah! Mike will thank you, David will kill you." Chastity shakes her head.
"Well, is that the way you feel about friendship and/or valuing others?" Danny asks.
"No, honey, of course not. I believe friendship is a wonderful thing. It is the only way to live, besides marriage of course, but, you cannot make siblings be best friends and plus, if a woman hasn't been clever enough to escape marriage after this long, then why should she start now?!" Chastity says in a Ricky Ricardo-like way.
"Chas, you just sounded like Ricky Ricardo in the episode: "Lucy plays cupid"! What did you mean by that crack?" Danny gives her another weird look.
"Well, honey, I didn't mean to-" Chastity is seemingly at a loss for words.
"I suppose you weren't clever enough to escape marriage." Danny folds his arms.
"Oh, now, honey, I could have been clever enough, but, since you were so handsome, I decided to play my cards and play dumb." Chastity says, before giving him a peck on the cheek.
"Well, alrighty then, it is settled that I am going to go over there." Danny nods his head.
"Sit back down, nosy!" Chastity tells him in a much more firm tone.
"Nosy?! I'm just trying to help bring two feuding brothers back together and end their feud." Danny sighs in annoyance.
"Danny, we agreed that we wouldn't meddle into things that don't concern us. Now, are you going to stay home and mind your own?!" Chastity is a bit peeved.
"No!" Danny raises his voice.
"Danny, if you're going to act like a child, I'm going to have to treat you like one." Chastity gives him a warning.
"Meaning what, Ricky?!" Danny asks.
"First of all, I'm Chastity, not Ricky and second of all, I will put you on top of my knees and-" Chastity is cut off.
"You wouldn't dare! I'm the man of the house! I wear the pants!" Danny gets bug-eyed.
"Oh, I wouldn't?!" Chastity sarcastically asks.
"No, you wouldn't!" Danny goes to walk away, but, is quickly stopped when Chastity grabs his arm.
"I'll show you "not daring" to do anything." Chastity pulls him closer to her.
"Chastity! What are you doing?! Chastity? Chastity?! Chastity!" Danny yells as he is lowered over her lap, "No, no, no, no!".
Chastity begins landing a few swats on Danny's backside.
"Ow! Chastity! Chastity! Let go!" Danny yells.
"You gonna to do what the agreement and I tell you?!" Chastity asks, as she gives him a few more swats.
"Ohhhhhh! Yessssssssssss!" Danny reluctantly answers, after doing another eye roll.
Chastity continues giving him more swats.
"Oh God, you're the female Ricky Ricardo!" Danny squirms and wiggles around.
*I Love Lucy scene transition*
At the Banner household
David is sitting on the couch and staring at the telephone, when Kelly walks in.
"Are you going to keep staring at the phone like that for the rest of your life?" Kelly asks.
"No, just until Mike calls me, apologizes, and promises to give back the $20 he owes." David continues staring at the phone.
"You know, David, this is not healthy! You're not even moving! I mean I'm use to you doing that at night, but, in the daytime, too?" Kelly got a weird on look on her face.
"Hmph!" David grumbles.
"Seriously, you use to not move around at night, but, now, you've switched shifts of not moving around, apparently." Kelly points out.
"Hmph!" David grumbles, again.
"Oh, Hmph, yourself! Look, David, he's your brother. Now, why don't you stop acting like a petulant child, get on the phone, and call the poor bastard." Kelly suggests.
"Never! He is going to come crawling on his hands and knees! You'll see!" David sounds a bit stern.
"Would it be easy for you, if I called?" Kelly asks.
"No, absolutely not!" David slightly raises his voice.
"It's not a toll call and I don't really mind." Kelly shrugs.
"No, Kelly Elaina Banner, I don't want you to! In fact, I forbid you to even meddle into this and talk to him! You understand what I'm saying?!" David raises his voice as he stands up from his chair.
"Alright, David, don't Hulk out on me, because, you're mad at him! Please don't get excited and turn green on me!" Kelly shudders at the mere mention of her full married name, while putting both of her hands in front of her.
David just stands there, folds his arms, and gives her a weird look.
"I never thought I would say that." Kelly gets a weird look on her face.
Later on
Kelly, battling an inner dilemma, has gone to the local bar and begins contemplating on whether or not to call up David's brother, Mike, in order to persuade him to make the first move by going over to the house, apologizing, and giving David the $20 he owes him.
What's next? Will she call Mike up?
