Josie and the Pussycats Page #2

Synopsis: For years, the record industries have inserted subliminal messages into music so that they can turn teenagers into brain dead zombies who do nothing but buy, buy, buy. And whenever the musician or band finds out the truth, the record company silences them to keep the truth from coming out. When the hot boy band DuJour discovers this, their manager, Wyatt Frame, under his evil, corrupt boss, Fiona, has the plane they are flying in crashed and him looking for a new band to use for their evil schemes. Enter Josie, the ditsy Melody, and the tough Valerie, from Josie and the Pussycats, a small band who wants to make it to the big time. When they are discovered by Wyatt, they give in and become big rock stars. But will they find out that they are just pawns for the record industry or will fame take them over?

- Oh, God, Josie, no, not just smelly.

I'm talking, like,

hot, wet garbage on a sunny day.

I think there's a problem.

It's like a stadium bathroom

or something.

No one seems to want

to say anything about it.

I know you would say

something though, right?

Yeah. See, that's

what I love about you.

- We can just talk about stuff.

- That's what I'm here for.

- That's so cool.

- Ah!

Mmm! Good ramen.

I don't think people know

how far one pack can go.

Honk, honk.

Who brought doughnuts?

I hope you don't think

that this makes up for

your missing our gig.

Sure we didn't miss much.

Nice management skills,

brother. Build yourself

a nice fat girl group.

Hello, Alexandra.

Have you lost some weight?

Bite me, Bambi!

Okay, Alexandra, why don't

you go wait in the car?

- Make me, nose job.

- Implants.

- Penile... Ow!

- Oh, I'm sorry.

That's the second time

today, isn 't it?

Ow! Ow.

So, ladies, how'd our set go?

You would know

if you had been there.

Hey, honey, I'm running

a management company here.

I can't be everywhere at once.

Wouldn't that be cool

though if you could?

I could be here and in there,

and I could be

in the living room...

and in the family room

and overhere!

Alexander, you don't

have any other clients.

Where else do you need to be?

On the streets, spreading

the gospel of the Pussycats.

I'm out there working

my butt off for you guys.

I'm handing out fliers.

I'm working the masses.

Waiting in line

for Dujour tickets.

It's for business.

l... It, uh...

Checking out the competition.

I don't like Dujour, like, it's Dujour.

And I could be

back in this room, and

I could go in the closet!

Hello? Uh-huh.

You want a demo tape of the Pussycats?

- Your phone didn't even ring.

- It's on vibrate.

- Um, so... so, yeah.

I gotta go right now.

- And then...

You want it right now?

Okay, yeah. So, I'll see you guys later.

All right, I'm on it.

You guys know he's lying.

You know your fly is open.

You know, you... suck!

That's perfect.

Even our manager wants

to see another band.

You guys, come here quick.

Hi. I'm Serena Altschul

with MTV News.

We have just received

a confirmed report...

that the members of

pop sensation Dujour disappeared

in their private jet today,

vanishing from radar

40 miles east of the town of Riverdale.

Authorities are still

trying to determine

the whereabouts of the plane...

and if there are any survivors.

Dujour's label, MegaRecords,

is yet to release a statement,

but they have

released a limited-edition

commemorative box set,

complete with a CD-ROM history

of Dujour in stores tomorrow.

Those poor boys.

We will keep you posted as to

any further developments...
