00:06I am calm, I am relaxed, I am a happy tree.
00:18You are making it very hard to be a happy tree!
00:24Sorry, Liv, I'm just, I'm losing my mind, waiting for this letter that will tell me if I made tryouts
00:30for the Junior Olympics.
00:32Junior Olympics.
00:33It's just a chance to play basketball for my country and travel the world for a year and score a
00:40bangin' Team USA duffel bag.
00:42You know what, it's no big deal.
00:46It's the biggest deal ever!
00:47Bam! What?
00:50I just got home, and now she might be leaving for some once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent our
00:56country as a Junior Olympian?
00:59How selfish can she be?
01:02Maddie, I totally hope you do get to do your basketball audition.
01:07It was called a tryout.
01:09Well, whatever it is called, I hope you break a leg.
01:15Maddie!
01:16This was on the porch.
01:17Oh! My letter!
01:19I'm gonna throw up.
01:21Okay.
01:22Okay.
01:23You open it.
01:24Don't touch it!
01:25Okay.
01:26Okay.
01:28Ready?
01:32Socks?
01:35You have been pranked by Joey.
01:42Booyah!
01:48Booyah!
01:50Booyah!
01:53Booyah!
01:55Booyah!
01:59I'm up with the sunshine
02:01I lace up my hot top
02:04When you slam dunk
02:06Ready or not
02:07Now show me what you got
02:09I'm under the spotlight
02:12I dare you come on and follow
02:15You dance to your own beat
02:17I'll sing the melody
02:19When you say yeah
02:21I'll say no
02:24When you say so
02:27All I wanna do is go, go, go
02:30You, you, you're the half of me
02:33Me, the half will never be
02:36The half that drops me crazy
02:40You, you, the better half of me
02:43Me, the half I'll always be
02:47And we both know
02:49We're better in stereo
02:59That is fourteen in a row
03:02Where's your defense, little man?
03:07It is three feet below your shoulders, that's where
03:13How was this even fun for you?
03:16I'm done here
03:17Oh, come on
03:18One more
03:19I'm just trying to keep my mind off Maddie in the Junior Olympics
03:22I really don't want her to leave
03:23Have you heard anything?
03:25I keep my nose out of such affairs
03:27Come on, one more game
03:31Why don't you just get Joey to play with you?
03:33I mean, he's not leaving for his pottery class for a little while
03:38Wait a minute
03:40Pottery class?
03:41He told me he was meeting with his zombie appreciation society
03:46Wait, he's lying to us?
03:49Why would you lie about doing either of those things?
03:53Unless you're doing something even more pathetic
03:57What do you think he's up to?
04:00I don't know
04:00Just when you think you have a munch all figured out
04:04He throws you a curveball
04:07Maybe he has a secret girlfriend
04:16Okay, look, we need to figure out what Joey's hiding
04:19Last time he had a secret
04:21I woke up with 64 white mice in my bed
04:26Wait, so are you saying this is an affair you would stick your nose in?
04:31Oh, diggy
04:32My nose goes where it's needed
04:41Hey, Rooney
04:42Did you hear anything from the Junior Olympics people?
04:44Uh, no
04:46Still no letter
04:47Wow, serious?
04:48I said no letter
04:53I'm sorry
04:53I was just hoping for good news about the tryouts
04:56Oh, wow
04:58Okay
04:58So you're saying you want me to move away for a year?
05:02That's not what I'm saying at all
05:03Oh, okay
05:04So then you don't want me to make the team
05:08Oh, wow
05:08No
05:10I want what you want
05:13Exactly as much as you want it
05:19Hey, Maddie
05:20Hear anything from the Junior Olympics?
05:22No!
05:23I swear if one more person
05:26Hey, Maddie
05:27Did you hear me?
05:39Yes, thank you for taking the bouncing upstairs, Maddie
05:42It is so much better
05:47Sorry, any sign of the mail?
05:50No
05:54You know what?
05:55I'll check again
05:57Even though it's only been eight minutes since the last time
06:03I'm sure the mailman is standing right there about to knock
06:10I got a certified letter for Maddie Rooney
06:13Okay
06:14Have a good day
06:15Bye
06:19Junior Olympics
06:20Did it come?
06:26Did you see that moment of hesitation where I almost did the right thing?
06:33No
06:34No
06:35No mail here
06:37It was brief
06:38But it was there
06:48Dude, what are you wearing?
06:51We are not pulling Joey into the jungle
06:55You don't know that
06:57So, Maddie might move away
06:59And now, you're dressed like a shrub
07:04I got big problems, kid
07:09Leave them at the door
07:10We have work to do
07:13I installed a GPS tracking app on Joey's cell phone
07:17Would you believe his password was 1234?
07:20What a munch
07:24Total munch
07:26Hey, can you teach me how to change the password on my phone?
07:46My GPS app just said, Joey entered the school
07:51We just saw Joey enter the school
07:56I know
07:56This thing's good, huh?
08:06Okay, I just don't get it
08:07Who would mysteriously sneak out at night just to come back to school?
08:12A teenage superhero uses Ridgewood High as his bat cave
08:18I knew his dorkiness was just too dorky to be anything but a secret identity
08:24Dude, I can't believe I have to say this out loud
08:26But Joey is not a superhero
08:31Now I'm embarrassed I brought it up
08:33Now I'm embarrassed I brought it up
08:37Someone's coming
08:38Hide, hide
08:52Boom, jungle
08:56You're welcome
08:58You're welcome
09:25What are you two doing here?
09:28We're superheroes and this is our bat cave
09:38I didn't open Maddie's letter
09:40But I struggled for hours
09:42About what to do with it
09:44In the end, I decided there really only was one right thing to do
09:49Hide it long enough for her to miss tryouts
09:52Yeah, it turns out that the toilet tank is not a great hiding place
10:04And there
10:06Oh, hair dryer
10:08Is there any problem you can solve?
10:14FY information, life is going to get a lot more complicated for you both when you grow up
10:22Liv, honey, can I come in?
10:39Okay, yeah, come on in
10:43Hey, how are you doing?
10:45Oh, so good
10:46I am phenomenal
10:48I am just great
10:53Poor Maddie has been out on that basketball court all night
10:57She is so anxious waiting for this letter to arrive
11:00It's just cruel that they make her wait so long
11:03It is so cruel
11:05I have just been a nervous wreck
11:15Thinking about another one of my babies leaving the nest
11:18But you, you're right there
11:21Supporting your sister
11:22It's just like this picture you two made
11:25Sisters by chance
11:27Friends by choice
11:29You know
11:29You girls live that every day
11:33Every day?
11:35Twice on Sundays
11:40Oh, I remember the night you were leaving for Hollywood
11:46Mom, Mom, guess what?
11:57What is it, Maddie?
11:58We played basketball recently today and it was better than everyone
12:02Even the boys, BAM!
12:04What?
12:05BAM!
12:06What?
12:08Oh, I like that
12:10BAM!
12:12What?
12:20What is happening?
12:25Joey, Parker just follows you around because he worships the ground you walk on
12:29It is cute that he can't take his eyes off of you
12:33So that's why he poops with the door open
12:37He'll grow out of that
12:43Appreciate the offer
12:44What offer?
12:46Bluetooth and babe
12:48Got a bail, Brad
12:50Okay
12:51Here is Aunt Dina's number in case you need to get a hold of us in L.A.
12:56Keep it someplace safe
12:57Got it
13:01There she is
13:02Look out, Hollywood
13:03It is Liv Rooney
13:07I had the most amazelicious idea
13:10Instead of saying the name of my show
13:13I should always sing it
13:14Sing it slow
13:20That's gonna get old
13:23Gonna
13:26All right, everybody
13:27Time to take Mom and Liv to the airport
13:30Wait
13:31I need a twin moment
13:33Are they gonna hug or fight?
13:35I never know
13:38Look, I could be gone for a long time
13:41You say the word and I won't leave
13:43You have to go live
13:44I'm gonna miss you
13:46But this is your dream
13:51Thanks, that means everything to me
13:53Now go out and show Hollywood how we do it in Stevens Point
13:58Bam, what?
14:02Yeah, don't do that
14:10Wow
14:13Thank you, Mom
14:14Really needed that reminder of how selfless my sister was
14:18I would be a monster not to do the same thing for her
14:21Oh, a hideous monster
14:29All righty
14:30You figured out my secret
14:32I'm in a drum circle
14:34We're called the Bucket Street Boys
14:39Go ahead
14:40Make fun
14:41Julie, that was awesome
14:43And you know I die
14:46A little inside every time I compliment you
14:49I was really impressed too, Joe
14:53Yeah, no one's taking you seriously right now, Diggy
14:57Stand down, soldier, stand down
15:04So, uh, what's with the sneaking around?
15:06Well, you know, some of my guys are a little shy
15:13A lot shy
15:16So, we've been rehearsing in private
15:18But we're going public tomorrow
15:21Between fifth and sixth period
15:24Whoa
15:25That's hallway rush hour
15:27That's the point
15:28We're gonna stop traffic with our Insta Jam
15:32Pick up some Insta hallway tread
15:37That's cool
15:38I mean, you just became slightly less munchy
15:44I just don't get why you keep the one thing you do well a secret
15:49One thing
15:50Clearly, you have never seen me give medicine to a cat
16:09Maddie couldn't sleep so she was practicing free throws
16:12Whatever those are
16:14And have you ever noticed how a bouncing basketball sounds like guilty secrets
16:18Trying to pound their way out of your skull
16:23Sisters by cheese
16:26Friends by cheese
16:28Sisters by cheese
16:30Friends by cheese
16:33What is happening?
16:52I felt like the picture was trying to tell me something
16:56And it seems to me that if a picture comes to life
17:00You should probably listen to it
17:03Give her the ladder
17:05Fuck
17:08You had better be asleep by the time I get back, young ladies
17:17Maddie
17:18Look who just came
17:20Two letters from the Junior Olympics
17:23Finally
17:28Wait, this just got here?
17:30It's midnight
17:33Yeah
17:34Yeah
17:35Yeah
17:36It's this new feature
17:38That the post office has
17:40Where they wait until the last second to deliver something important to build excitement
17:44It's called, um, uh, it's, it's called the Anticipost
17:50Liz?
17:53When did this letter really get here?
17:56Okay, so we got here this morning
17:58What?
17:59You had this all day?
18:01Hey, hey
18:02You cannot blame the messenger
18:05Well, I can't if the messenger never gave me the message
18:09Now, what is going on out here?
18:12Liv, hit my Junior Olympics letter
18:14All day
18:15What?
18:17Olivia Rooney
18:19You see that?
18:20That is the face of an appalled mother
18:22You appalled her
18:23Because you are appalling
18:28Well, I wouldn't say mom looked appalled
18:30She just looks kind of worn out
18:34Liv, you tried to sabotage me
18:37I would never sabotage your dream like that
18:41Well, now, Madison, that's not totally true
18:46Do you remember five years ago?
18:49Liv's audition DVD
18:50We are not talking
18:52About five years ago, Karen
18:56Now, I think I'd like to hear Karen's story
19:04Say goodbye to Hollywood, Liv
19:07Maddie, stop!
19:09What are you doing?
19:10I'm destroying Liv's audition video
19:13I don't want her to leave
19:15Honey, no
19:17Oh, I know this is going to be hard
19:20But this is Liv's dream
19:22We have to let her try
19:24If she doesn't, she will always wonder what might have happened
19:27You're right, mom
19:30I once passed up a chance to move to Indianapolis
19:34To fill a coveted spot in a regional production of Oliver
19:38As street urchin number three
19:41I carried that regret with me
19:44Every single day of me life
19:51You almost destroyed my audition DVD?
19:55Liv, I...
19:56No, no
19:57Huh, it's cool
19:59Wow, um, for a while there
20:01I thought I was the evil twin
20:02But it turns out we're both evil
20:05Samesies!
20:08You can't call samesies
20:10I was like ten
20:13Okay
20:14I think we should focus less on the evil that you share
20:17And more on the love
20:18Neither one of you wanted the other one to leave
20:23Maddie, she's right
20:25I mean, I moved back to Wisconsin to be with you
20:29Not ready to let you go
20:33So, yeah, I hid your letter
20:36I'm sorry
20:40Oh, I mean, I get it
20:43Your heart was in the right place
20:46Liv, just know that whatever is in this letter
20:50We're never gonna lose what we have
20:52That's right
20:54You'll always be sisters by chance
20:57Friends by choice
20:58Yeah, so let's not say that out loud anymore
21:01Open your letter
21:05Open the letter
21:07Yeah, open the letter
21:09Okay, fine, I will
21:11Diggy?
21:14What are you doing here?
21:16Just walking by, I thought I'd say hello
21:21Oh, weird, but sweet
21:24Open the letter
21:30I made tryouts
21:31I made tryouts
21:37This is huge
21:39I'm so proud of you
21:43Wait, I have to be in Chicago for tryouts in six hours?
21:49I'm never gonna make that
21:50Six hours?
21:53Six hours
21:54What have I done?
21:55Okay, um, no, no, no, you know what?
21:57I can help
21:58I can have you packed in five and a half
22:04Oh, this is trial turn next weekend
22:10I know
22:12Oh, but did you see her jump?
22:18Maybe I am the evil twin
22:30Am I too late for the instant jam?
22:32I got a bathroom hall pass for my teacher
22:34But I didn't tell her what bathroom
22:39Guys, you made it
22:41By the time sixth period starts
22:44You'll be able to say
22:45Joey Rooney
22:46I knew him when
22:54Attention, Ridgewood
22:56Get ready
22:58To get
23:00Rhythm
23:04One, two, three, four
23:10Really?
23:13Seriously, now is not the time to be shy
23:19Man, this is terrible
23:20We have to do something
23:22You're right
23:23I have an immobilizing dart gun in my pocket
23:26We can say he was dehydrated
23:30I think I have a better idea
23:38Thanks, man
23:51Are you guys drummers?
23:54Or are you bummers?
23:59Well, the joke is on you
24:01Because Joey's out there
24:02With the captain
24:03Of the basketball team
24:05And you guys are just standing here
24:07Getting lectured
24:09By the fifth grader
24:15Hey, Joey
24:16We got the band back together
24:18Oh, oh, oh
24:23All righty
24:24One, two, three, four
24:48Way to go, Joey
24:49What?
24:50No, Biggie
24:51They love me
25:03So, how'd it go?
25:05Did you make the team?
25:06Well, they said she had a lot of potential
25:10And she was one of only three sophomores invited to try out
25:14Yeah, they, um
25:16They said I did a really great job
25:18And they, uh, said for me to keep practicing
25:22Oh, Maddie
25:23I'm so sorry
25:25Yeah, because we start in ten weeks
25:29I made the team
25:33Did you see their faces?
25:35I didn't give it away
25:36I didn't give it away
25:39Oh, Maddie
25:40I am so proud of you
25:44Thanks, Mom
25:48Oh, I'm really gonna miss you, Rooney
25:51But
25:52I'll be here waiting for you
25:53When you come back
25:56Thanks, Diggy
25:57No way
26:04So, um
26:07I could be gone for a really long time
26:09You just say the word
26:11Don't go!
26:11Forget your dreams
26:15What?
26:17I'm totally kidding
26:18You have to go
26:18I already made plans for your half of the room
26:27Thank you for watching my audition video
26:30I would love to be your Stephanie Einstein on Sing It Loud
26:35That was great, honey
26:39Now you go on up to bed and we will mail this out tomorrow
26:43Thanks, Mom
26:45Okay
26:45Sleep well, honey
26:49Hello, Hollywood
26:50Hope you enjoyed Liv
26:55She's adorable
26:56But while we have you here
26:58I'd love to throw my hat in the ring for Stephanie's mom
27:02Alberta Einstein
27:03Now, I don't have a script
27:06But here's how I imagine the character would be
27:15Hello
27:17Well, I didn't see you there
27:19The name's Einstein
27:22Alberta Einstein
27:24Hey, honey
27:25You want some popcorn?
27:27Yeah, sure
27:28That'd be great
27:31Okay
27:32I hope you consider Karen Rooney for the role of Alberta Einstein
27:36Thanks
27:37Cheers
27:38I'll see you guys
27:38Cheers
27:39Cheers
27:39Goodbye
27:41Cheers
27:42Listen
27:42Cheers
27:44Cheers
27:44Cheers
