Jem

[the Misfits have been hang gliding and passing out promotional fliers]

Eric Raymond:
Where's Pizzazz?

Tech Rat:
She must be testing my new laser.

Eric Raymond:
[frightened] You let Pizzazz loose... WITH A LASER?

Pizzazz:
Why do you always think the worst of me?

Stormer:
Don't answer that, Jem.

Synergy:
Your father hoped you'd be strong. [pause] But I suppose tough is good enough.

[the misfits are eating after Kimber has been attacked by a shark]

Pizzazz:
This food is delicious! What is it?

Zipper:
Well, I figured since the Holograms were having shark...

[Misfits look disgusted and run off]

[Clash disguises herself as a film student filming a documentary on Jem and the Holograms]

Clash:
Wow. Even at five in the morning she looks amazing.

Eric Raymond:
Pizzaz! Wait! Don't slam the...[Pizzaz slams the door and plaster falls from Eric's office ceiling on to his head.] Door.

Jerrica Benton:
Hoo, we've got three possible names.

Kimber Benton:
Wow! Riot *really* came *through*!

Jerrica Benton:
Kimber, you and Aja check out Martin O'Carolan. Raya, take Rio and check out Leonard Martin. He lives in Nebraska. And, Shana, you and I'll go and see Andy Martin in Las Vegas. We're not giving up until we find Ba Nee's father.

Jem:
That must have been horrible, having your father so dead set against you learning music.

Riot:
Yeah, it was some kind of macho thing. Are you cold?

Jem:
A little.

Riot:
I'll make a fire.

Riot:
[continuing as he puts kindling in the fireplace] What my father never understood was that my music was the only thing that helped me keep it all together while I was growing up. Every year we moved to a new town. You get tired saying goodbye to a new set of friends every year. [Riot lights the fire]

Jem:
How sad.

Riot:
That's the way it was. But Mom was supportive. She bought me that first guitar. But she wasn't strong enough to stand up against my dad. He was always pushing, mostly for me to join the army. So, finally, I joined. It was the only way I could get away from home. I ended up in basic training in Germany. [montage of basic training]

Jem:
That's terrible.

Riot:
Yeah. I hated it from the day I enlisted. I never could see what my father thought was so great about it. I thought I was stuck there forever. And then, one day on leave, I discovered this rock band called Nirvana. They were fantastic! I went to see them whenever I had a pass. They were doing exactly what *I* wanted to be doing with *my* life. Then, one night, before their first set, there was a big blow-up.

Jerry:
OK, you're half an hour late! This is the *last* time! If you can be here when you're supposed to, then get out!

Ralph:
Hey, no problem. This band is going nowhere anyway.

Minx:
But, Jerry, we can't perform without a backup guitarist.

Riot:
I'll play!

Jerry:
Hey, hold on there, mate! What does a soldier boy know about music?

Riot:
[picks up a guitar] Listen. I'll show you. [Riot plays an introduction. Minx, the drummer, and Jerry join in. The crowd cheers]

Jerry:
Well mate, the audience loves ya.

Minx:
Jerry, he could replace Ralph permanently!

Jerry:
That's a great idea! How about it?

Riot:
But, I-I-I'm in the service! I couldn't.

Jerry:
Oh, come on, mate. We've got a tour scheduled that will take us all over Europe. Say you'll join us.

Minx:
You've got to come. Can you give this up? [the crowd continues to cheer]

Riot:
All right. I'll do it. [Riot shakes hands with Jerry] I'll come!

Jerry:
Great. Well, let's give them an encore, pal. By the way, what's your name?

Riot:
Call me... [the lights go down, a spotlight comes on] Riot!

Riot:
[back with Jem] It was a thrill like none I ever had before. Crowds of people clamoring for us.
