Laura - Look, don't worry, guys. Willie said he'd get us on that marquee.

Reggie - This is gonna work, right?

Luke - It has to.

They jolt again. I hate seeing them in pain

Willie - Hey, are you guys OK?

Alex - Yeah. Yeah, it's nothing we haven't felt before... How'd it go?

Willie - Well, when that opening band wakes up, they're gonna find their bus 200 miles outside of Vegas with no chance of getting back in time.

Luke - And that means there's probably a promoter upstairs right about now freakin' out.

Willie - Nah. This is Hollywood, man. I'm sure he's being very professional.

Alex and Willie talk for a bit.

Reggie - Alex, you all right, man?

Alex - Yeah. Yeah, I'm OK.

Luke - Well, thanks to Willie, Panic! At The Disco needs an opening band.

Alex - Then I guess someone up there needs to know we're available.

Reggie - Yeah, Willie was right. This guy's a total pro.

Luke - All right, boys. Let the magic happen. Alex, no dancing.

He twirls to the desk and knocks the tin of pens over

Woman - What? Ugh!

Alex - OK. There we go.

Reggie - She's coming.

Man - Tasha! Get me CJ. Tell him I need a band to open in three hours.

Woman - Sure, but you might wanna check this out.

Man - What? I'll call you back.

Woman - Somehow this video started playing on my laptop. It's got half a million hits in just two days.

Man - Who are they? They're a hologram band. They call themselves Julie and the Phantoms.

Reggie - Tell your friends.

Man - Where are they located?

Woman - Our very own City of Angels.

Man - Book 'em!

Boys - Yes!

Woman - Sure, I just don't know how to...

Luke - Your handwriting is better than mine.

Alex - Definitely. Yeah.

We poof back to the studio to see Julie pacing.

Julie - Oh my gosh! What took you guys so long? Did Willie do it? Did you talk to them? Did they watch? Did they like us? Are we playing? Someone answer! Why's no one talking?

Reggie - Whoa! That's a lot of questions!

Laura - Luke, you wanna take this one?

Luke - Take a seat. It's fine. Everything's fine.

Alex - Yeah. You should be getting a call right... now!.. OK. Right... now!... Nailed it.

All - Go!

Julie - Oh! Um... Hello?

Woman - Hi, this is Tasha from the Orpheum in Hollywood. Is this Julie of Julie and the Phantoms?

Julie - Yes, it is.

Tasha - Hi. Are you available to open for us tonight?

Julie - Yeah, totally. OK. Thank you so much. See you then.... We're doing it! We're playing the Orpheum, baby! Yeah!

Alex - Yeah! I'm swimming.
