TITO WOULD NEVER HAVE MADE IT BIG.
[BELL RINGING]
THAT'S WEIRD.
TITO IS USUALLY THE FIRST ONE OUT.
COME ON. WE'LL GO TO HIS CLASSROOM.
Miguel: HEY, TITO. ¿QUE TE PASA?
NADA.
DID YOU GIVE YOUR BOOK REPORT?
UH-HUH.
¿Y NO TE FUE BIEN?
NO..OH.
¿OH, QUE PASO?
YOU WERE SO GOOD WHEN YOU DID IT FOR ME.
DID YOU REMEMBER TO START WITH A JOKE?
I TRY TO DO WHAT YOU TELL ME, PERO,
I GOT, UH, NERVIOSO.
OH, YOU GOT NERVOUS.
Tito, voice-over: I TRY TO CLEAR MY THROAT JUST LIKE YOU SAID,
BUT SOMETHING GO WRONG.
[COUGHING]
[CLEARING THROAT]
I TAKE A GLASS OF WATER,
BUT IT TASTE FUNNY.
IT WAS A BUG EXPERIMENT.
[LAUGHTER]
THAT MAKE ME MORE NERVOUS.
[GULP]
SO FINALLY I JUST SAY:
I READ THE BOOK. IT WAS GOOD. THE END.
POBRECITO, TITO.
COME ON. WE'LL FIND A WAY TO CHEER YOU UP.
YOU JUST HAVE STAGE FRIGHT, AMIGO.
WHICH IS TOO BAD,
'CAUSE YOU'RE TOO GOOD, TOO FUNNY, TOO TALENTED...
AND TOO SCARED.
MIRA, MAYA.
"THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS HOLDING AUDITIONS
FOR THE WORLD PREMIERE OF "THE DOUBTFUL PRINCE,"
$ A MODERN PLAY INSPIRED BY A MAYAN FOLKTALE.
¿QUE ES ESO?
A PLAY IS UNA OBRA DE TEATRO.
EXACTAMENTE.
AND LOTS OF PEOPLE COME SEE IT!
MIGUEL! ¡ESO ES!
Maya: OH, MIGUEL, THIS IS GREAT!
HE SHOULD TRY OUT FOR THE PLAY!
BUT HE'S AFRAID OF PREMEMBERG WHAT HAPPENED TODAY?
BUT THIS IS THE PERFECT THING
TO HELP YOU FORGET ALL ABOUT THAT.
COME ON, TITO. ¿QUE DICES?
HMM.
I SAY...¡ESO ES!
Maya: OK. BEFORE WE AUDITION, WE HAVE TO REHEARSE.
MMM, THAT MEANS PRACTICE.
YOU ARE IN 16th CENTURY MEXICO.
YOU ARE A PRINCE, HEIR TO THE MAYAN JAGUAR DYNASTY,
AND YOU'VE BEEN CALLED TO THE ROYAL CHAMBER
BY YOUR FATHER THE KING.
¿LISTO?
LISTO.
GOOD DAY, PRINCESS BUTTERFLY-JAGUAR.
I "BO" TO THEE.
IT'S PRONOUNCED "BOW," TITO.
BOW AND BOW ARE SPELLED THE SAME,
SO HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?
INGLES IS CRAZY LANGUAGE.
I BOW TO THEE.
THE KING HAS LINE, LINE, LINE, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,
THEN WE GET BACK TO ME.
IT IS TIME WE FOUND THEE A WIFE.
A WIFE?! YUCK! NO!
I DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED!
OK, THEN THE KING GOES, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,
THEN I S--OOH, WE NEED A CROWN!
AWK!
Paco: ALWAYS A PROP!
THOU ART A PRINCE
WHO WEARS THE FEATHERED CROWN.
I WOULD RATHER PLUCK MY FEATHERS ONE BY ONE
THAN EVEN TALK TO A GIRL!
AWK!
YOU ARE SO GOING TO GET THE PART.
Paco: GET THE PART! GET THE PART!
SEE, EVEN PACO THINKS SO!
WHAT IF I GET N-NERVIOSO AND I NO CAN DO IT?
I WILL BE RIGHT WITH YOU THE WHOLE TIME!
I'M GOING TO PLAY THE QUEEN!
SO LET'S KNOCK 'EM DEAD!
KNOCK 'EM DEAD!
UH, TITO CHAVEZ.
NEXT!
¡ANDALE, TITITO! YOU'LL BE FINE.
I AM FABIAN, THE DIRECTOR.
AND I AM ALSO FABIAN,
THE AUTHOR OF "THE DOUBTFUL PRINCE."
DID YOU LIKE MY P
YOU'RE AUDITIONING FOR PRINCE BOY-JAGUAR?
PLEASE STAND IN FRONT OF THE CURTAIN.
EN FRENTE DE LA CORTINA.
GOOD...DAY,
PRINCESS LADY BUTTERFLY...
NEXT!
DON'T CALL US, WE'LL CALL YOU.
NO! WAIT!
HELLO. WHO ARE YOU?
I AM MAYA SANTOS.
I'M TRYING OUT FOR THE ROLE OF LADY BUTTERFLY-JAGUAR,
AND TITO AND I WOULD LIKE TO AUDITION TOGETHER.
AND WE ALSO BROUGHT OUR OWN MUSICIAN.
CHAH! YOU'RE KIDDING.
[FLUTE PLAYING]
GOOD DAY, PRINCESS BUTTERFLY-JAGUAR.
I BOW TO THEE.
THERE THOU ART, PRINCE BOY-JAGUAR.
YOUR FATHER AND I WISH TO SPEAKETH TO YOU--
UH, THEE.
BUT MY ROYAL DESIRE IS TO GO OUT AND PLAY.
ALAS, YOU CAN'T. IT'S RAINING.
BOY-JAGUAR, THINE EIGHTH BIRTHDAY APPROACHETH.
IT IS TIME TO FIND THEE A WIFE.
A WIFE?! BLECH!
I DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED!
BUT ALL THE PRINCESSES FROM PALENQUE TO TULUM
HAVE BEEN INVITED TO THE ROYAL BALL.
 I DO NOT CARE IF THEY'RE COMING FROM TIJUANA
TO PUERTO VALLARTA!
THOU ART A PRINCE WHO WEARS THE FEATHERED CROWN.
I WOULD RATHER PLUCK MY FEATHERS E BY ONE
THAN EVEN TALK TO A GIRL!
BRAVO! YOU HAVE THE PART!
CONGRATULATIONS!
CONGRATULATIONS, TITO!
NICE JOB!
ALL RIGHT. SO WHEN DO WE START?
WE?
YEAH. TITO AND I.
PRINCE JAGUAR-BOY AND PRINCESS BUTTERFLY.
OH! I NEVER SAID YOU HAD THE PART.
BUT I--
NO, NO. YOU'D BE ALL WRONG.
YOU'RE NOT A DRAMATIC ACTRESS.
YOU'RE A COMEDIENNE.
[GASP]
ALTHOUGH THERE IS THE PART OF THE COURT JESTER.
BUT THE COURT JESTER ONLY HAS ONE LINE.
THAT'S A TINY PART.
IN THE THEATER, THERE ARE NO SMALL PARTS,
ONLY SMALL ACTORS.
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
I'LL TAKE IT.
Maya: I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU, TITO.
I NO DO IT WITHOUT YOU HELP, MAYA.
I WONDER WHO GOT MY PART?
Girl: ISN'T THIS GREAT?
WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE IN THE PLAY TOGETHER.
Man: QUIET!
Fabian: WELCOME, PEOPLE.
YOU ARE THE FIRST ACTORS EVER TO PERFORM MY WORDS
IN THE WORLD PREMIERE OF "THE DOUBTFUL PRINCE."
GIVE YOURSELVES A HAND.
[WHISPERING] That means clap.
CHRISSY, WHO GOT THE LEAD?
00 I DID.
OH. I GUESS FABIAN THOUGHT I WAS TOO FUNNY.
[CHUCKLING]
I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU.
WELL, HEY, IF YOU NEED ANY POINTERS, LET ME KNOW.
ALAS, I COULD NOT FIND AN ACTOR TALENTED ENOUGH TO PLAY THE KING,
SO I WILL PLAY THAT ROLE MYSELF.
APPLAUD!
THANK YOU.
WITH THIS CAST, I AM SURE "THE DOUBTFUL PRINCE"
WILL WIN THE BEST AMATEUR PRODUCTION OF THE YEAR,
AND MY FABULOUS CAREER AS AN ACTOR AND DIRECTOR WILL BE LAUNCHED.
BEGIN REHEARSAL!
REMEMBER, IF TITO GETS NERVOUS,
YOU SIGNAL, AND I'LL GO HELP HIM OUT.
GOT IT.
Fabian: BOY-JAGUAR, YOURAL TUTOR CURL-SNOUT
TELLS ME YOU ARE FAILING IN ALL YOUR CLASSES.
IS THIS TRUE, BOY-JAGUAR?
[WHISPERING] M-Maybe.
WHAT?
MAYA. HE'S FREEZING UP.
WHY ARE YOU FAILING MAYAN RITUS?
I DON'T ENJOY SACRIFICING SMALL ANIMALS.
LEAVE ME ALONE, FATHER.
STOP! UH!
MY NEXT LINE IS "DON'T YELL AT YOUR FATHER."
HOW CAN I SAY THAT LINE WHEN YOU ARE NOT YELLING?
TAKE IT AGAIN.
[SHAKY VOICE] LEAVE ME ALONE, FATHER.
I...I...NO RECUERDO.
TA-DA!
YOU KNOW, THIS SCENE COULD USE A COUPLE OF CHUCKLES.
EXCUSE ME?
I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP.
LEAVE ME ALONE, FATHER!
Maya: YOU KNOW, I'M WORRIED ABOUT TITO.
WHY? I THOUGHT HE WAS DOING GREAT.
WHEN I'M AROUND.
BUT AS SOON AS I LEAVE, HE STILL GETS STAGE FRIGHT.
THE FINAL REHEARSAL IS TOMORROW.
TOO BAD YOU CAN'T BE IN TWO PLACES AT THE SAME TIME.
YOU KNOW, LIKE SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE
WHERE TITO COULD SEE YOU ALL THE TIME.
AND ALSO BE ON STAGE.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
BUTTERFLY-JAGUAR, TAKE THE JESTER AWAY
AND DROP HIM INTO AN ERUPTING VOLCANO.
NOW!
WHY DON'T THOU DO IT
BECAUSE I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT MONOLOGUE COMING UP.
GO!
AHEM.
NOW THAT WE ARE FINALLY ALONE,
JUST YOU AND ME,
WE NEED A PRIVATE CHAT
ABOUT YOUR PARALYZING SHYNESS.
WHY ARE YOU STANDING IN FRONT
OF A SUSPICIOUS-LOOKING TREE?
[LAUGHTER]
FATHER, I AM SORRY.
I AM READY TO MEET AS MANY BRIDES AS THOU WISH.
AAH!
[LOUD LAUGHTER]
UGH!
SINCE NOTHING ELSE IS GOING RIGHT,
LET'S UNVEIL MY ROYAL PORTRAIT
THE CROWD SO WANTS TO SEE.
LET'S SEE IT!
BEHOLD THE ROYAL PORTRAIT.
1,000 ARTISANS HAVE WORKED NIGHT AND DAY FOR A YEAR
TO MAKE THIS MASTERPIECE.
LONG LIVE JAGUAR-LIPS!
BEHOLD!
[GASPING]
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HIM.
HERE. LET ME FIX THAT.
[LAUGHTER]
COURT JESTER, YOUR NEXT JOB
WILL BE BUILDING PYRAMIDS!
Maya: OOPSIE!
[LAUGHTER]
NOW IT LOOKS LIKE YOU, FATHER.
[LAUGHTER]
CURTAIN! CURTAIN!
[CHEERING]
THIS IS THE SINGLE-WORST DRESS REHEARSAL
I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!
AND YOU...
YOU RUINED MY MASTERPIECE!
BUT THE AUDIENCE WAS LAUGHING.
MY PLAY IS A TRAGEDY!
YOU WILL NEVER SET FOOT ON THIS STAGE AGAIN.
YOU ARE FIRED. FIRED!
FIRED?
BUT TOMORROW IS OPENING NIGHT
TITO NEEDS ME.
FIRED!
UH-OH.
Miguel: THAT WAS PAPI ON THE PHONE.
HE SAID HE AND MAMA WILL BE HOME
AS SOON AS THEY CLOSE UP THE PET SHOP.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING US DINNER, ABUELITA.
BUT YOU HARDLY TOUCHED ANY OF IT.
NOT EVEN MY DELICIOUS FLAN.
I'LL HYOU OUT TH THAT.
I N'T BELIEVE WHAT A DISASTER THIS PLAY HAS BEEN.
 MY PLAN WAS SIMPLE.
YEAH. IT WAS BETTER THAN MOST OF YOUR OTHER PLANS.
EVEN I THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP TITO GET OVER HIS STAGE FRIGHT.
INSTEAD, I GET FIRED,
AND HE'S MORE SCARED THAN EVER.
TITO IS SUCH A GOOD ACTOR,
WHEN HE'S NOT IN FRONT OF A CROWD.
IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL HE NEEDS IS A LITTLE CONFIDENCE.
I WISH CONFIDENCE WAS SOMETHING
YOU COULD GIVE A PERSON.
I REMEMBER TITO'S FATHER ERNESTO
WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE BOY.
HE WAS A VERY GOOD SOCCER PLAYER.
IN THE REGULAR SEASON, NO ONE COULD BEAT HIM.
BUT DURING THE PLAYOFFS, UGH!
OH, HE WOULD CHOKE?
NO. HE WOULD NEVER EAT DURING A GAME.
THAT'S DANGEROUS.
ABUELITA, CHOKING IN SPORTS IS WHEN YOU GET NERVOUS.
AH, HA! YES, HE CHOKED.
BUT ONE DAY, HIS SOCKS WERE DIRTY,
SO HE HAD TO WEAR A PAIR OF BRIGHT GREEN ONES.
WOW! THOSE SOUNDD HAVE IT, LIKE LUCKY SOCKS!OALS THAT GAME!
MAYBE THEY WERE, MAYBE THEY WEREN'T.
WHO KNOWS?
BUT THE IMPORTANT THING
IS THAT HE THOUGHT THEY WERE LUCKY.
FROM THAT DAY ON, HE WORE THEM EVERY DAY.
AND DID HE PLAY BETTER?
MUCH BETTER.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE SOCKS SMELLED HORRIBLE
BY THE END OF THE PLAYOFFS!
[LAUGHTER]
¡ABUELITA, ESO ES!
TENGO UNA IDEA.
BUT FIRST,
MY DESSERT.
NO. I DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED.
Tito: HOLA, MAYA.
HI, TITO. HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
MAYA, I THINK I CAN NO DO THIS PLAY
UNLESS YOU'RE NEXT TO ME.
BUT, TITO, I SEE THE WAY
YOU PLAY SPIES AND PIRATES AND SUPERHEROES.
YOU BECOME THE CHARACTERS.
IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU DO.
IF YOU CAN DO IT BY YOURSELF,
WHY CAN'T YOU DO IT ON STAGE?
I DON'T KNOW, MAYA. THIS VERY NEW.
THIS IS NEW COUNTRY. THIS IS NEW LANGUAGE.
NOW NEW PLAY.
[SIGH]
MAYBE I HAVE TOO MUCH "NEW."
TITO, DID YOU KNOW IT IS A SANTOS FAMILY TRADITION
FOR BIG COUSINS TO GIVE LITTLE COUSINS PRESENTS
BEFORE THE OPENING NIGHT OF A NEW PLAY?
IT IS?
UM, IT IS NOW.
TITO, I HAVE A VERY SPECIAL GOOD LUCK CHARM FOR YOU.
THIS RING IS AN EXACT PLASTIC COPY
OF ONE THAT BELONGED
TO THE GREATEST THEATER PERSON
WHO EVER LIVED--
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.
IF YOU WEAR IT, I PROMISE YOU WILL HAVE GOOD LUCK.
REALLY?
PUT IT ON.
UH, OK.
TRY IT ON YOUR THUMB.
YOU'LL SEE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE FANTASTIC!
GRACIAS, MAYA.
NOW, EVEN IF I NO HAVE YOU,
I HAVE YOU.
PSST! MIGUEL, TITO.
OVER HERE.
MAYA!
TOO BAD YOU CAN'T BE ONSTAGE TONIGHT.
OH, THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT.
TITO IS THE STAR TONIGHT.
SO I JUST CAME TO SAY BREAK A LEG.
[GASP]
¿PERO PORQUE?
THAT IS NO VERY NICE!
YOU MAD AT ME?
HA HA! NO, TITO!
THEATER PEOPLE ARE VERY SUPERSTITIOUS.
THEY THINK IT'S BAD LUCK
TO ACTUALLY SAY "GOOD LUCK,"
SO THEY SAY "BREAK A LEG."
OH, MAYA. BREAK A LEG.
 HA HA! FUNNY.
5 MINUTES!
NO WORRY ABOUT ME, MAYA.
I FINE BECAUSE I HAVE LUCKY RING.
Chrissy: YOU WILL FIND YOUR TRUE LOVE
AMONGST THESE PRINCESSES.
¡AY!
I WOULD RATHER FIGHT TO THE DEATH
AGAINST THE FEATHERED SERPENT
THAN MARRY ONE OF THOSE GIRLS.
[GASP]
OH, NO.
¡MI ANILLO!
UH, BEGGING IS NOT GOING TO HELP YOU.
YOU MUST CHOOSE!
NO!

WHY ARE YOU CRAWLING ON THE FLOOR?

YOU BUILT AND CONTROL THE ROBOT
THAT CAUSED MAJOR DESTRUCTION TO THE CITY.
IT WASN'T THAT BIG A DEAL,
JUST A LITTLE HULLABALOO.
NO. A HULLABALOO IS JUST SOME NOISY EXCITEMENT, FOR EXAMPLE...

LIKE THE KIND THAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU ANSWER THIS CORRECTLY.

"HULLABALOO" IS CORRECT! [APPLAUSE]
SEE? "HULLABALOO."

IT'S MY SHOW. THINGS ROLL MY WAY.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO AGREE TO DISAGREE.
YOU SAY MY ROBOT CAUSED MAJOR DESTRUCTION.
I SAY IT WAS ONLY A MINOR HULLABALOO.
YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT, BUT YOU'RE WRONG.
SO I'M INCORRUPT?
YOU MEAN "INCORRECT"?
YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST THE KIND OF THING THAT WORD GIRL WOULD SAY.

BUSTER: Hi.
Oh, hi, Buster.
I'm Laura Hill.
Come on in.
I'll show you around.
Gene, meet Buster, Carlos, Mora.
Hey, Buster.
Pleased to meet you all.
This is where "the band will play tonight,
Yoll be on this stage.
Got the monitors set.
CARLOS: What's all this stuff on the walls?
GENE: This is an interesting place.
It used to be a grocery store,
and it's been turned into a performance venue.
A lot of things hanging in the ceiling.
The holes in the wall e bullet holes.
Some of the old-timersusede
and actually fire at targets.
They had a gun-targeting thing.
BUSTER: Carlos, are you sure you want
to stand there while you sing?
CARLOS: It's okay, Buster--
they don't do to stand there that anymore. while you sing?
We've got a colete recording setup: audio and video,
48 channels of digital recording and video recording,
the whole nine yards we can do here.
Maybe Los Viajeros can do the jingle here.
But wait, they said they wouldn't do it,
and I promised Muffy!
Okay, I'll just he to write the song myself.
The only problem that I've never written a song before!
I'm excited you guys are here.
CARL: So, who lse ison the bill?
Well, my daughter, Savannah, is going to sing a song
that she's written herself, so...
Your daughter knows how to write songs?
She does-- she loves to write songs.
Could I talk to her about a song that I'm, uh, writing?
She'd love to talk she loveto you about it..
Why  t you come over later
and you two can sit down and talk aut it?
That would be great!
So, where do you live?
We just live down the street.
You're a lifesaver!
Thank you.
You're welcome.
BUSTER: Hey, Dad, I think this is the place.
, look, there's Laura.
Hey, how you doing?
Great to have you with us.
Come meet Savannah.
Hi, Buster.
Hi, Savannah. How are you?
Good.
I'm glad you'll help me with my song.
No problem.
Is it true you know how to write songs?
Yep.
That's awesome!
How do you know how to do it?
My dad was a songwriter...
DAD: Hey, Buster, how you doing, buddy?
And my mom's a songwriter, too.
BUSTER: Who's that?
SAVANNAH: My sister.
Hello. BUSTER: Hi.
You want to come and see my instruments?
Yes, please.
Okay. Let me take my skates off.
This is my room.
I'm going to show you the two instruments that are in here.
Do you play more than one instrument?
Uh-huh.
The first one's a guitar and the other one's a mandolin.
( strums chord )
It's a little out of tune.
How did you learn to play it?
Did it take u a long time?
My dad taught me sstuff,
and then I took lessons for about two years.
And is theandolin like a guitar?
It's actually like a fiddle.
It doesn't look like a fiddle.
Do you tuck it under your chin?
It's... it's got the same notes.
Oh. Can you show me?
( playing simple, high-pitched tune )
That sounds nice.
( finishes tune )
Hey, Los Viajeros hThat's an amp-- an amplifier--
and that's what you hook your electric guit up to.
You have an electric guitar, too?
Uh-huh.
This is my guitar, electric guitar.
Great colo
So, you've got an amp.
That means you can play something really loud.
Yeah.
( playing rock 'n' roll chords loudly )
That sounds great!
Do they use electric guitar in country music?
Yeah, a lot.
There's lots of country songwriters that wri
with electric guitars.
What makes something country music?
It's sort of swingy sometimes,
and then it can be kind of fast--
you know, it's all kinds of things.
Are there other instruments that are good for country music?
Yeah, I play the fiddle, and I'll show it to you right now.
I can't lieve all the instruments you play.
Is your whole family like this?
Except for my little brother.
But... yeah.
( plays squeaky rendition of simple tune )
And you play the piano, too?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, here's the deal--
I have to write a car commercial song,
and I don't even know where to begin.
Well, you think of an idea that you're going to write about,
and then you start thinking of details--
stuff like that.
What kind of details?
Your song is about cars, so you would probably put in there
how you feel about cars, you know.
What if I don't feel anything about cars?
You really have to have something that inspires you.
Like, what are you inspired by, Buster?
Well... pizza.
Pizza... or how about...?
I think pizza's really inspirational, don't you?
Is that your favorite food?
It's pretty special to me.
Maybe you should write about pizza.
But it's a car commercial.
How about eating pizza... in the car?
I guess I have to think about cars some more.
After I write it, could you take a look at it?
Okay. Why not?
Thanks
BO: Buster, time to go.
BUSTER: So, why don't we just drive around for a while, Dad?
t BO: Any place in particular?
The President James Polk Memorial isn't too far away.
Maybe we could just look at cars.
Cars?!
Hmm, all these cars are nice,
but I'm not getting inspired.
Maybe I need help from songwriters who've gone before me.
"Countryic Hall of Fame."
Come on, Dad.
Okay, let's see if the experts ever wrote any songs about cars.
Hey, look at that!
Right down here a little farther is Elvis Presley's car.
The King's car?
Wow, can I check it out?
Yeah, you can check out the car,
but you can't touch it.
If you had to write a song about cars,
what would you put in it?
BOY: What kd of cars that you like
and how fast do they go and...
just anything you really want to that goes with cars.
How do you think Elvis wrote his songs?
How did he make them so good?
Um... he probably took his feelings that...
about what he was writing about and put them into a song.
Like, if he was exciti, he'd write a very exciting song;
if he was, like, sad or something was happening,
he'd probably write a song about when he's sad.
Hmm, so he made it personal, sang about his feelings.
Uh-huh.
Elvis really was the King, wasn't he?
Just look at him with his guitar.
Maybe if I could just hold a guitar,
it would help me write my song.
BUSTER: Dad, stop-- a guitar store!
BO: Oh, uh, okay...
( shop bell rings )
BUSTER: This place is covered in guitars.
Uh, sir? Excuse me.
Well, hello.
How you doing?
I'm fine, thanks.
My name's Buster.
Hi, Buster. How you doing?
That's my dad, Bo.
Hi, Bo. How you doing?
BO: Hi.
Could you tell me why you have so many different guitars?
Each one sounds different.
Each one has a different kind of tone to them
and a different sound, different shape, different sizes.
This is graphite.
This is something that they make out of space-age technology.
( strumming some chords )
And they use this on the NASA spaceships.
Wow, that's cool!
Do you have any guitars good for car commercials?
Sure, follow me and I'll show you some cool stuff.
This is a big style guitar.
It's called a super jumbo size guitar,
and they use this to handle a lot of music.
( strumming simple chords )
It's a lot of fun and it's a good-sounding guitar.
I've got to write a country song.
 What guitar should I use for that?
This is really cool.
This is another acoustic guitar,
and it's really good for a lot of country music.
( strums repeating chords )
Music's supposed to be fun.
Okaysure-- fun.
When you're trying an instrument and you're playing it,
the main thing is you having fun with it,
because you'll learn more and you'll have a lot of fun.
( picking and strumming banjo )
( picking and bending notes on dobro )
( strumming mandolin )
BUSTER: Hey, those sound great.
( finishes strumming )
Isn't that fun?
Like to see more goodies?
I've got to go write a song now.
Good to see you.
You, too.
Okay, have fun.
BUSTER: Well, here I am back at our hotel,
and I better find some inspiration soon.
Oh, it's no use.
Nothing's working.
I can't write a song.
I'll just go back to the room.
( phone ringing )
Hello?
Oh, hi, Muffy.
So, how's that song
coming along?
Muffy, it, um, turns out
that Los Viajeros aren't going to write the song.
What?!
But the commercial is being shot as we speak.
You have to find someone who can deliver a country song
or you're in big trouble!
CARLOS: We're getting hungry.
Want to go get some pancakes?
Pancakes? Mmm!
There's a famous pancake house up the street.
Come on, it'll be fun.
Whew! I don't think I could eat
another pancake now if you paid me.
Hey, Carlos, is that who I think it is over there?
Yeah, that's Billy Dean.
He's a pretty big country songwriter, Buster.
Really?
Well, then, he's just the person I'm looking for!
BUSTER: Excuse me.
Hello, there.
Hello!
Hi.
My friends Carlos and Mora are musicians.
They recognized you and said you were a country singer.
I sure am.
I'm writing a country song myself, for a commercial,
and I wondered if you had any advice.
Oh, you must be new in town, I guess.
I am.
My name's Buster.
My name is Billy,
and this is Hannah and her friend Daisy.
You need to have a seat.
Are you busy? No.
You can join us for a little bit.
Hey, and you have a guitar with you!
Have you ever had country Tennessee pancakes before?
Well, I had a couple,
but if you're not going to eat those,
I'd hate to see them go to waste.
( Billy laughs )
BUSTER: Those were delicious!
Um, so, I have a question.
I have to write a song-- where do I start?
Sometimes the best song ideas are right under your nose.
They're the obvious things that you would look at and see...
Could you give me an example?
Have you ever written about cars?
Let me tell you something.
I wrote a song about gravy-- "Good Brown Gravy.",
♪ You can sop it with a biscuit, you can eat it from a pan ♪.
♪ You can lick it off your finger ♪
♪ When it's running down your hand ♪
♪ If I could find a backer, I could make big commotion ♪
♪ I'd put it on the market, call it "Biscuit Lotion." ♪
♪ Good brown gravy
GIRLS: ♪ Good brown gravy... ♪
♪ Good brown gravy
♪ Oh, my good brown gravy...
So, it can be about the...
you know, the simplest, most, you know,
crazy thing you ever thought of.
Anything can be a song.
BUSTER: Even gravy can be a song.
That gives me hope!
And now... ( groans )
I think I have to go lie down for a while.
I might've eaten one too many pancakes.
( laughs )
All right, man.
Good luck with your commercial and your songwriting.
Make sure I get a copy.
Oh, absolutely.
All right, bye-bye.
Thank you!
Bye-e.
( stomach rumbling )
( groans ): Who knew pancakes could be so filling?
Just how many did you have?
I can't even think about it.
Dad, I have a problem, and I think
Muffy's going to be really mad at me.
What problem?
I promised her Los Viajeros would write a song
for her dad's commercial before I asked them, but they said no,
and the only way out of it is if I wrote a song myself.
Billy Dean said I should write what I feel,
but I don't feel...
Hey, wait a minute!
I do know what I can write about!
BUSTER: So, I thought it was a good idea,
but maybe it wasn't.
That's good.
You really like it?
Uh-huh, it's great.
Whew, what a relief!
Oh, no... I forgot!
I've still got a problem.
I've got the words, but I don't know
what to do with the music.
You couldn't help me, could you?
Well, Buster, how do you think
the song should make somebody feel?
Like, the feelings of the song?
Um... I haven't really thought about it.
Like... when you hear a sad song,
usually you hear something slow, like...
( strumming slow chords )
You hear something slow like that.
And then a happy song would sound something like this.
( strumming more lively tune )
 Well, is is a song
about a guy who kind of made a mistake
and did something wrong, but then he got better,
and then he was smarter than he was before.
That kind of sounds like a happy song, I think
Yeah, maybe was smarter it is.e was before.
So, how would that be, with those words?
♪ Well, I might walk across the desert ♪
♪ I might sail across the sea
♪ I might climb a high mountain peak... ♪
Sothing like that.
Oh, my gosh, that sounds great!
I've got to go tell Muffy
that we're making a lot of progress.
Hang on a second.
STER ( on phone ): There's a song on the way.
I met Billy Dean, and he...
Billy Dean, the famous country singer?
I can't wait to hear his song.
Get me a really good recording of it.
But, Muffy...
( phone beeps off )
BUSTER: Oh, I don't know what to do.
My friend says they need the song recorded.
You don't have a tape recorder, do you?
Why don't you just go to a recording studio?
You mean so it'll be quieter?
Is there one around?
Well, we can go to Kids on Stage.
What's that?
That's where I go for summer camp,
and the have a recording studio there.
( strumming spiritedly )
BUSTER: Wow, I was just picturing a quiet room.
This is serious business.
But she's playing the guitar without singing!
♪ I might go and shoot some baskets... ♪
I thought she was going to do both at the same time.
@ What am I going to do?
( cell phone rings )
Hello?
Buster, I wanto make sure
that you understand that we want a full band for the recording.
We need a big sound, got it?
BUSTER: Okay.
♪ Then write about them with my pen. ♪
BUSTER: Oh, no!
A full band?!
What am I going to do?
BUSTER: Guys, I think there's a problem.
What's wrong?
Well, the commercial people are expecting
a song played by a full band.
Uh, and your eyeows just grew a lot.
Well, see, Buster... I kind of am the band.
How can you be the whole band?
The recording studio.
You know all the instruments at my house?
Sure.
I play all those, and he records them one at a time,
and he puts them all together on this computer,
and it'll sound like a band.
It will?!
( strumming mandolin )
 playing country melody on fiddle )
( shakers keeping rhythm )
( tambourine playing rhythm )
( drum pounds out simple beat )
BUSTER: Okay, now let's listen to what we've got all together.
( song with guitar and drums playing )
BUSTER: Savannah, that was so amazing!
You know, I play some tuba.
If I started practicing again,
do you think I could play country music?
Well, you know, Buster, there really aren't a lot of tubas
in country music, but keep practicing
Welland maybe you couldothere really a lot of things.tubas
Yeah, I will!
Do you mind if I play your song at the concert?
Really?
Oh, wow, I'd be honored.
That's cool.
Okay, well, I'll get this recording to Muffy,
and thanks again, so much.
Buster, don't forgetto we.
If I've learned one thing,
it's about wearing tape on my eyebrows.
Bye. See you at the concert!
Bye, Buster.
BUSTER: I just e-mailed you the recording.
I think you'll love it.
Hmm, it's o bad we couldn't test-market the song first.
Hey, the song will be performed tonight at a concert!
Fantastic!
Hope it's not a flop!
Yeah, what if it's a flop?
I'll be laughed out of Nashville,
and Savannah's career will be over.
Hi, Buster!
BUSTER: Hi.
How are you guys?
Good. Good.
Savannah, are you sure you want to do my song?
I'm really nervous.
I don't want to ruin your career.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Okay.
I can't wait to hear your song.
I'm really nervous about it, Grayson.
You are? Yeah.
I bet you are.

Then I go it--
pancakes hotcakes, hotcakes are pankes.
The song is genius.
Like the song says, ese babies are selling like hotcakes!
So come on down to Crosswire Motors!
Yee-haw!
MUFFY ( on phone ): Listen, could put me in touch with Billy Dean
so I can thank him personally for writing the song?
Well, Billy De didn't wre the song.
 I did, with help from Savannah.
 Really?
Well, it's a prey good song, Buster.
But back to Billy Dean-- he's so cute.
Do you think you could at least get me an autographed picture?
( Buster groans )
 Hi, everybody.
Come on, we've got to stop Hacker.
Something's going on...
What can I say? I'm a slob.

$ You know what sound my mother makes?
( shouting ): "I told you to clean up your room!"
( kids laughing )
BUSTER: Wait! I foot to tell you
something I learned in Nashville.
Country music started as mountain music
played by people living in the Appalachian Mountains.
It became more popular
when shows at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry
were broadcast on radio.
Today, country music is so popular in Nashville
that the city is called Music City U.S.A.
