00:00Look up to the ocean, look up to the stars
00:03I want to watch you believe
00:06When the sea knows
00:09You can still believe
00:12Still believe in your dreams
00:16So you know the dreams
00:19So you know the dreams
00:23So you know the dreams
00:30What we need is a really big idea
00:34Something that will put this castle on the map
00:37Something that will make every tourist in Europe want to come here
00:40Lily's called us together for a crisis meeting
00:42It's the third crisis meeting this week
00:44Lily loves a good crisis meeting
00:46In fact if there isn't a crisis meeting
00:48Then Lily goes into a state of complete crisis
00:51So what suggestions do you have?
00:54Don't be shy, feel free to suggest anything
00:57Big ideas aren't that easy to come by darling
01:00Daddy, we're von Hasenburgs
01:02We've always had big ideas
01:04Look at Otto von Hasenburg
01:06He built the local town
01:07Werner von Hasenburg
01:09He gave people electricity
01:11And Wilhelm von Hasenburg fought the invading armies of Napoleon
01:15Unfortunately he lost
01:16Yes, but at least it was a big loss
01:19Come on, be creative
01:22No idea is too crazy
01:25Well
01:29We could turn the castle into a theme park
01:32That's a crazy idea
01:34Sorry
01:35Stupid
01:40The big pineapple
01:43The what?
01:44When Australian country towns want to get themselves noticed
01:46They build something big
01:48Like a big pineapple
01:50Ben, I don't think this is
01:52No, it works every time
01:53There's the big banana
01:55The big guitar
01:56The big prawn
01:58How exactly do these big things work, Ben?
02:02When people drive along and look out their windows
02:05They say
02:06Oh look
02:07There's the big prawn
02:09And then what happens?
02:12They keep driving
02:15I don't know
02:19This is useless
02:21I must say I'm very disappointed
02:23If this is the best we can do
02:25We might as well give up
02:26Just close the castle and walk away
02:27Never
02:29We must find new ways to make extra money
02:31I'm sure we can do it
02:33Good
02:34Then I suggest
02:35We go away
02:36Think really hard
02:37And let's have some really good ideas tomorrow
02:40Marcus
02:41We just need those extra lyrics and then I can finish it but I need them fast Sam
02:59If we don't hand in our first three completed songs by Monday we're toast
03:03Okay, I'll get them to you by tonight
03:05I promise
03:06So, how's it going over there?
03:08Are you having a good time?
03:10Kind of
03:11Kind of?
03:12What's the problem?
03:13The cost of maintaining this castle is enormous
03:15They're desperate for ideas on how to pay for it
03:17You could turn it into a theme park
03:19I don't think they want to go there
03:21Oh
03:22Gotta go Sammy
03:23Talk soon
03:24Bye guys
03:25Oh and if you get any inspiring ideas on how to make money from a seriously ancient castle
03:29I'm all ears right?
03:30Do we get a commission?
03:31Is that?
03:32Is that?
03:33Forget he said that Sam
03:34Bye
03:35Bye guys
03:38Now, I know how much we all love new challenges
03:42Thank you
03:43But here's an exceptionally good one
03:46Even if I do say so myself
03:48What is this sir?
03:49This is a public response form
03:51Response to what?
03:52To your songs of course
03:54What kind of response exactly?
03:56Well, it's a chance for you to get someone else's opinion on your music
03:59Let's face it
04:00You're always telling me how old-fashioned my tastes are
04:03Yes, but you're our teacher
04:04We expect your tastes to be old-fashioned
04:06Thank you Jack
04:07I'm pleased that you're so forgiving with my limitations
04:10So, what I mean is, um
04:13What do I mean, Lucy?
04:15What he means, Mr Brearley, is that you know us
04:17So you can judge how we're going, if we're improving
04:20Other people don't know that stuff
04:22Precisely
04:23You see, other people are going to hear your songs and judge them purely on their merit
04:26Not on who wrote them
04:27But it's too easy to rig the answers
04:29We can just ask our families to say it's great
04:31And if they don't, we can threaten to trash the house
04:33If you look at the rules, you'll notice that no family members are allowed to participate
04:38You have to get 30 independent listeners
04:4230?
04:4330, Jack
04:44And I'll be checking the people on your list to make sure they're real so you can't fake it
04:48Uh, there is no way we can do that by Monday
04:50Which is why I'm giving you 10 days for it
04:52Thank you, Mr Brearley
04:53But what if people don't like our music? Does that mean we fail?
04:57Not at all
04:58Some of the best music of all time was savaged when it first came out
05:01So then what's the point?
05:02The point is, Jack, to get some honest feedback
05:05And who knows?
05:07Shocking as this may sound, you might even learn something
05:1230 people, how are we gonna find 30 people?
05:15I don't even know 30 people
05:17Maybe we could go down to the mall on Saturday and grab shoppers as they go by
05:21Get real, it is murder down there on weekends
05:23Besides, no one's gonna stand around for 10 minutes while we force feed them pop songs
05:26Oh, what about the football crowd?
05:28There's a home game this Sunday, we could get them as they leave
05:31That's even worse
05:32If teams win, they just wanna shout their dumb team songs
05:34And if they lose, they're too depressed to talk to anyone
05:36So I take it that's a no then?
05:38Complete and total
05:39Oh, just hang on a sec
05:41I just gotta pick some stuff up for mum
05:43Yeah
05:4430 people out of all of Mr Brearley's loony ideas
05:47This one takes the cake
05:54Okay, let's go
05:55Look at this
05:58Dance party
05:59So?
06:00So there's our answer
06:02We take the songs to the dance party
06:04Get the DJ to play them
06:05And then survey the crowd
06:06Couldn't be simpler
06:07Cool
06:08Yeah, see I'm not just a pretty face
06:10Pity not such a great reader either
06:12What do you mean?
06:13Saturday 16th was last weekend
06:15Oh
06:16Think the crowd would have left by now
06:18People ever heard a used by dates?
06:20Shame
06:21It was a good idea though
06:23Lucy
06:25Lucy
06:26Jack's here
06:27Now?
06:28Front door
06:30Hi
06:31Have you given up sleeping or something?
06:32I've got it
06:33I hope it's not catching
06:34Got what?
06:35Answered everyone's problems
06:36Pure genius
06:37Why do I have the feeling life's about to start getting very complicated?
06:40Don't you wanna hear what it is?
06:41Do I have a choice?
06:42Nope
06:43Come on then
06:44You are going to love it
06:47I love it
06:48See, I told you it was genius didn't I?
06:50And you thought of this all by yourself?
06:52No, I jumped online and asked my 320 non-existent friends
06:56Okay, I'm sorry
06:57But what about Sam?
06:59What if she doesn't buy it or the Germans either?
07:01Why don't we ask?
07:02Jack, we can't ask her now
07:04It's past midnight
07:06It's daytime
07:07Over there, Einstein
07:08She's on the other side of the world
07:09Remember?
07:10Right
07:12I'm nearly done
07:13Sorry it's taken so long
07:14You'll have it in an hour guaranteed
07:16It's okay Sam
07:17We're not hassling you
07:18We just need to talk
07:19Talk?
07:20About what?
07:21And
07:22Why are you two up so late?
07:24Don't panic
07:25We've just had an idea
07:26That's all
07:27A dance party?
07:28A dance party?
07:29A dance party?
07:30It was just an idea
07:31You don't have to go for it
07:32I just thought it might be worth considering
07:34Kind of
07:35Poor old Sam
07:36She really doesn't have much of an idea about business stuff
07:39Trust me
07:40This is gonna go down like a lead balloon
07:42I like it
07:43You do?
07:44You do?
07:45Now darling, please let's not be too hasty here
07:47Dance parties are not really our thing
07:49There's so much that we'll need planning and discussing
07:51So, let's discuss it
07:53First, where do we get the music from?
07:55We'll supply it all
07:56Where from?
07:57Easy
07:58We'll download it from the music library at school
08:00Someone has to be the DJ
08:02We need someone cool
08:03Someone who can rock the crowd
08:05Ben can do it
08:06Ben
08:07Remember how he DJed at Al Jackson's birthday party?
08:09But he was hopeless
08:10Exactly
08:11He was so bad
08:13He was good
08:14Everyone loved him
08:15Oh, hang on
08:16I was just mucking around with a few friends
08:18That's a lot different from doing it in front of 200 people
08:21200 people?
08:22Well, there's no one else who can do it
08:24And the good thing is we don't have to pay you either
08:27This is getting out of control
08:28I'm gonna have to put a stop to it right now
08:30Look, just running a dance party isn't enough to draw a crowd these days
08:34Good call Ben
08:35So, what can we do?
08:37Here is where I've had a seriously major brainwave
08:40Oh no
08:42No way guys
08:43I know where you're going with this and it won't work
08:46It will Sam, you just have to have faith in yourself
08:49You're a singer?
08:50Sort of
08:51A bit
08:52And you have three of your own songs you can perform that night?
08:55Only if you want
08:57Look, just forget it
08:59It wasn't such a great idea
09:00I think Sam's right
09:02These shows of events really need to be run by professionals
09:04We have no expertise in this at all
09:06Daddy, we don't have expertise because we haven't done it before, right?
09:10So if we do do it, we'll get the expertise, won't we?
09:13I'm not at all sure about
09:14I am
09:15I think it's brilliant
09:17So, all we have to do is decide on a date
09:20No, we have to get it done in the next ten days
09:22Ten days?
09:23Any later and it won't count towards our results
09:25Sorry guys
09:26There's no way they'll buy that
09:27It's much too hard
09:29It's impossible
09:30It's easy
09:31You can't organise this sort of thing in such a short time
09:34The weekend after next is a public holiday
09:36The timing is perfect
09:38But Lily
09:39Daddy
09:40Are you saying you don't have confidence in my judgement?
09:42No, not at all darling
09:43So let me reward that confidence
09:46Please
09:48I know I'm going to regret this
09:51And you won't
09:52So everyone, let's get cracking
09:54We have a dance party to organise
09:56Look, before we lock this off completely
09:58Would anybody like to hear my idea about the big suit of armour?
10:05Just thought I'd ask
10:07As we got closer to the day, I have to say the whole dance party idea didn't start to feel any better
10:13Things weren't helped either by the fact that somehow all the really heavy jobs miraculously ended up with me and Marcus
10:19Still, there were some compensations
10:22Who wants a drink?
10:24Hey Sophie, how's it going?
10:25Are you going to be our DJ for the party?
10:26What can I say?
10:27If my public calls, I must obey
10:28I'd be so nervous having to do that
10:29It's no big deal
10:30You've seen one dance party, you've seen them all
10:31You've had lots of experience then?
10:32Ah, you know
10:33I've been around
10:34You all right Ben?
10:35Yeah
10:36Yeah, sure
10:37No worries
10:38I'd better get back to the cafe
10:39Bye Ben
10:40Great to see you Sophie
10:41Overall, I think that went pretty well
10:43I think Sophie's starting to see me for who I really am
10:48The most important thing now is the ticket sales
10:50We have to make sure we get a really good career
10:53We have to make sure we get a really good career
10:55We have to make sure we get a really good career
10:57We've got lots of experience then
10:58You know, I've been around
10:59You're right Ben
11:00Yeah, yeah, sure
11:01No worries
11:02I'd better get back to the cafe
11:03Bye Ben
11:04Great to see you Sophie
11:05The most important thing now is the ticket sales
11:09We have to make sure we get a really good crowd
11:11Leave that to me
11:12I have everything under control
11:14Walter?
11:15I need to talk to you
11:16Your dad seems so much more positive about things now
11:19I know
11:20I think he's up to something
11:21Like what?
11:22Not sure
11:23But I'm going to have to keep a very close eye on him
11:26Lily, can I talk to you about something?
11:28Sure
11:29When I packed for this trip
11:30I wasn't expecting to be performing on stage
11:32And I haven't really brought anything that I could
11:34It's cool
11:35Give me five minutes and we'll go to Mother's
11:37Mother's?
11:40Welcome to Mother's
11:41Ah, now I get it
11:43I thought we were going to your Mother's
11:45We are
11:46This is her shop
11:47Cool
11:48That's strange
11:49What?
11:50At last
11:53I've almost given you up and was about to close
11:56Sorry, Mommy
11:57But we've had so much to do back at the castle
11:58Why did you remove the poster from the door?
12:00I didn't
12:01Your father took it down this morning
12:03Hey what?
12:04He said all the tickets have been sold
12:05He didn't tell me that
12:06Did you know it was a sale?
12:08No, but that's good, isn't it?
12:10It should be good
12:11It had better be good
12:12No, Lily, stop crumbling
12:13You must be Sam
12:15Delighted to meet you at last
12:16You too, Baroness von Hasenberg
12:17Please call me Tina
12:18It's much easier
12:19Now I've picked out a few things you might like to try out
12:22I'll just go and get them
12:23Thank you
12:24You mum sell some amazing stuff
12:27I could spend my year's allowance in here
12:29We'll have you looking great in no time
12:31As soon as your friends send the music, we're ready to rock
12:34Ben, it's no problem
12:35This will give you tremendous creative flexibility
12:38I don't want creative flexibility
12:40I just want the music here, ready to play
12:43And it will be
12:44Lucy and I will be in the school music library directly connected to you online
12:47Ben, if we just supply you with a hundred songs off the bat, it mightn't work for the crowd you pull
12:51I mean, what if we download hip-hop and a mob of heavy metal drinks turn up?
12:55Or a rap crowd?
12:56You'll be toast
12:57Extremely burnt toast
12:58And I'm way too young to go to a funeral buddy, especially yours
13:00Can I call my manager?
13:02What manager?
13:03The one I'm gonna hire so I don't have to do any more deals with you
13:06Don't be like that Benny boy, it'll work out fine, okay? I'll talk to you later
13:09Bye Ben
13:10Lucy says bye
13:11Yeah, bye guys
13:13This whole thing is sounding dodgier by the minute
13:15Why do I let myself get drawn into these wacko schemes of Sam and her loony mates?
13:19Sometimes I think I'm just too nice
13:22Daddy, why are you putting chairs out? It's a dance party
13:26People who dance on chairs usually break their legs
13:28There's plenty of room left in the courtyard for dancing
13:31These are just in case people want to sit and watch Sam perform
13:34Oh, I suppose that's alright
13:37You didn't tell me you'd sold out all the tickets
13:39Ah, yes, that's because I wanted it to be a surprise
13:43Yes, aren't you please?
13:46I think so
13:47But I can't help feeling something's not quite right
13:50Should I be concerned about anything daddy?
13:52Concerned?
13:53Never
13:54Well, must be off
13:56I have a lot of organizing to do and the evening is almost upon us
13:59Testy testing
14:02Testy testing
14:05One, two
14:06Get down and boogie babes
14:09It's time for die A-B for dance
14:12Ha!
14:14Hey, very cool, Uncle Marcus
14:19I hope you did saw that
14:20We did
14:21Awesome
14:22Awesome, hey listen any any chance that the crowd will get there soon like before we freeze to death
14:27Hey, who suggested staying up until 3 a.m. Whose idea was it to provide creative flexibility not one mr.
14:34Hip-hop head, okay. Oh, I was only asking as it happens. I was just about to check out the very same thing. Give me five minutes guys
14:44So cute Ben I was just coming to see you wow you look fantastic
14:48So do you yeah these old threads are the baron called waltz is arriving with the first bus load
14:54He wants everyone on standby on my way commander. Oh, I do have one request. Yes, but you save at least 20 dances for me
15:01Well, I promise that this one that's all I need to hear
15:06So when do you think I should come on let them all warm up first
15:09You know what they say a hot crowd is a cool crowd. No, I haven't heard that but I think I know what you mean
15:18I think things are about to start happening
15:20Let the party begin come in Houston. All right you start your engines. Oh
15:26wait
15:27have
15:29Okay, dude, here's a big bomb hassle-free welcome to the
15:41What do you think then yeah, we in the right group
15:45Ben
15:47Sorry guys, I'm not really sure what do you mean you're not sure are we talking punk metal heavy rock?
15:54What type of crowd are they? I uh, I think you'd better take a look
16:01Oh my dog
16:11Tonight our castle is your castle
16:17Are you seeing what I'm saying you won't get away with it? No way
16:22right
16:23Glad we quit that up
16:24Daddy, how could you you want a crowd? I've supplied the crowd every one of them's paid 30 euros for a night of music under the stars
16:32But we don't have the music they like you don't
16:36But I do
16:38Golden classics for the young at heart they love it, but why why sell all the tickets to all people why to protect the castle?
16:46Well, of course be reasonable dear we can't have hundreds of teenagers piling in here
16:50Manly thrashing about think of the chaos the damage they could do daddy
16:53This castle stood for a thousand years. I'm pretty sure it can survive a simple dance party
16:59You'll thank me for this tomorrow believe me darling
17:04I guess that's me then I'm gonna go and change
17:07I don't think these guys are gonna want to listen to the kind of music I play don't move in in Sam we haven't lost yet
17:13My father knows a lot of things about a lot of things, but there's one thing he knows nothing about
17:19meaning meaning
17:21social networking
17:29Right then folks another fabulous blasts in the past
17:39Should really get those red blood cells pulsing through your veins
17:54What's the difference between a catastrophe and a disaster it's an interesting question when you think about it
17:59I
18:01And it looks like I've got plenty of time to think about us
18:05Ben
18:07Listening what are we gonna do? I thought take up sewing bricklaying maybe that's great Ben, but that's not gonna help us get our survey done
18:15Is it hang on a minute I can't hear with all the racket going on here. Oh, what's going on?
18:19You might be in luck guys
18:21I think the cavalry's just arrived
18:23What's going on here?
18:25What's going on here?
18:27What's going on here?
18:29What's going on here?
18:36These gay Christians say you provided them what's going on they've come to that impossible
18:40I want them out of here immediately, but they bought tickets. Oh, I didn't sell them any I did
18:46The receipts are all logged in here. You can check if you wish when did this happen tonight?
18:50I asked my friends to ask their friends to come and help us out isn't that generosity wonderful?
18:56You've deliberately kept these people a secret from me only because you deliberately kept your people a secret from me
19:03One false step one broken window one argument and they all leave straight away clear perfectly daddy
19:10Okay, Sam you ready boy, will you and your dad be able to make this up of course we always do now come on
19:20Let's get this party happening on my way
19:31Galaxies
19:33Galaxies
19:51Galaxies
19:58Galaxies
20:03Do you want to rock it tonight?
20:06Do you want to rock it?
20:08Do you want to rock it?
20:09Do you want to rock it tonight?
20:12And touch the stars
20:14As we shoot the stars
20:18Like a shooting star
20:21Move the engine
20:23Give a letter
20:25Till we reach the stars
20:28As we shoot the stars
20:32Like a shooting star
20:35Move the engine
20:38Gain momentum
20:39Till we reach the stars
20:43Eat or fly this UFO
20:51We all surround the place
20:54How wonderful to see the castle so lively
20:58You've done yourself proud, darling
21:00Don't blame me for any of this
21:02This was all your daughter's doing
21:03How come when you're cross with Lily
21:05She's my daughter
21:06And when she does something you approve of
21:08She's your daughter?
21:09Law of nature, I suppose
21:10You look very nice tonight, my dear
21:13Nice enough to dance, perhaps?
21:15Oh, dance?
21:15Me?
21:16You know what they say
21:18If you can't beat them
21:19If you can't beat them
21:19Come on
21:20No
21:21Come on
21:22No
21:22Come on
21:23And touch the stars
21:25As we shoot the stars
21:28Like a shooting star
21:32Booth the engine
21:35Gain momentum
21:36Till we reach the stars
21:40As we shoot the stars
21:43Like a shooting star
21:47Booth the engine
21:49Gain momentum
21:50Till we reach the stars
21:54It was a lot more fun than listening to Rachmaninoff
21:58Signed D. Schultz, aged 79
22:01Goodness
22:02Okay, much better to dance to than Tchaikovsky
22:06That was Mrs. E. Dortmer, aged 85
22:10Oh, P.S. Sam rocks
22:13Seems like the Germans get some very interesting crowds at their dance parties
22:18Yes, and clearly have some great taste in music
22:20Not that we'd ever really compare ourselves to Rachmaninoff or Tchaikovsky
22:25I can't even spell them, let alone compete with them
22:27Your humility does you both proud
22:29So does this mean we've passed, sir?
22:33It does
22:33Please give my congratulations to Sam
22:36And let her know that I'm very interested to see the video when she gets back
22:40This Mrs. E. Dortmer in particular sounds quite the sensation
22:44Well, there you go
22:58Success has been plucked from the jaws of defeat
23:00I still reckon they've missed out on the main game, though
23:03The big suit of armour
23:04Now, that would have to be the ultimate winner of all time
23:07Till we reach the stars
