Okay, so we're gonna run "D-Town," all right?
I want it high, energetic.
Wake the crowd up.
'Cause all you've seen all day is contemporary,
so let's really bring something new, yes?
Okay.
Ready?
The routine we are bringing is called "D-Town."
We wanted to bring something a little bit different
to a competition.
It's a hip-hop routine, with a little bit of jazz-funk in it.
It is something fun and exciting
and new for the judges.
Faces, guys, faces.
Really look at those judges.
I want dead stare into those judges' eyes.
Really pull them in, okay?
HOLLY:
so now it's time to transition to group.
And we can't quite transition to group with the group missing.
JILL: I just texted Rachel and Janeane.
We need to know where our kids are.
Last I heard, every kid
who was at JUMP this morning was leaving at noon.
But yet it's 2:45, and your kids aren't here.
Right...
JILL: Listen...
Abby said they were leaving at noon.
HOLLY: She lied.
You're just so on the Abby bandwagon.
No, I'm not. No, I'm not.
Abby's driving the choo-choo train,
and you're just following along.
No, I'm not.
(scoffs)
How on earth would it be right
that the group might be scratched
because certain team members are not here.
MELISSA: They need to come to this competition.
Who's gonna take control of this situation?
JESSALYNN: You should not have sent them.
This is a joke, an absolute joke.
Yeah, and you guys just love it.
Who put them in that situation?
JILL: What do you want me to do?
Tell me what-- what do I need to be accountable for?
Kalani says they're, they're on their way.
Okay.
ABBY LEE:
and start to get ready for the group.
Let's go.
Are they gonna be here soon?
Okay.
ABBY LEE:
that the girls are finished with JUMP.
They should be here at any moment.
This is our last competition in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
And the bottom line is I want to win.
Cathy?
What?
Did you look at your program?
I didn't see Abby's group listed.
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
No. I'm, not unless I'm missing it.
It's why I'm asking.
Isn't it just like Abby to run away?
She gets scared because
she sees Candy Apples
as a huge threat now.
(girls clamoring)
(all cheering)
You made it!
HOLLY: We are so happy
to see the rest of the team!
Okay. Go ahead.
Okay, take that off, take that off, take that off!
Hurry up, girls! We don't have a lot of time!
You're not gonna get to run it.
You're not gonna get to warm up.
The girls made it, but we have no time.
We can hear the group's category starting,
but I don't know how we're gonna get the girls there
on time, but we're gonna darn well try.
ANNOUNCER: Here is number 9,005, "Deep Down."

JEANETTE:
I wanted them to go
out there and have fun and wake up the judges.
And I feel that they did that.
MELISSA:
You think you can try to get her earring in, Holl?
Yeah, where is it?
I can't, she, it's in her hand.
Your back?
Get-get... They don't have their makeup.
HOLLY:
We're about to be disqualified.
And Abby's in full
frenzy... chaotic mode.
I don't know if we're gonna make it on stage in time.
ANNOUNCER: Next up is the Abby Lee Dance Company
with "No Sign of Life."
I know-- the blind leading the blind?
Hold this, I don't have... Did you bring your makeup bag?
No.
I don't have any of my stuff!
Get off your butt and do so-something!
You're the one on your phone all the time!
I'm not playing games!
Give me the makeup now!
Or they're not going anywhere!
Give it to me right now!
ANNOUNCER: ALDC, to the stage.
Go, go get the makeup.
ANNOUNCER: ALDC, last call before disqualification.

(audience whoops)
Oh, my gosh, our group danced fabulous.
Watching these girls, they're flawless.
They're beautiful.

All right, here we go-- junior groups.
Only half a point separating second and first place.
Second place overall...
"The Patriot," Candy Apples Dance Center!
(whoops)
Hello.
All right,
you guys ready for the top overall junior group of the day?
"No Sign of Life," Abby Lee Dance Company!
Stand on up!
(whoops)
(cheering)
Ladies, ladies, ladies...
what studio are you from?
ALL: Abby Lee Dance Company!
(whoops)
ANDREW: Take a bow, ladies.
Right there,
your top junior group.
HOLLY:
MELISSA: It was a lot of pressure today, and you guys...
HOLLY: It was. Whew.
With all the dysfunction going on,
you stayed focused.
HOLLY: Good to leave on a high note.
This is our last competition in Pittsburgh for a long time.
Ah.
So it's good.
KIRA:
We beat those crabby apples.
All happy and smiles over here.
(girls whoop)
There is a whole party going on.
(speaks indistinctly)
Read what it says.
ALL: "Hollywood or bust."
(Abby Lee whoops)
ALL: Yay.
JILL: What's our next step?
HOLLY: Guess the next step, we're seeing each other in Australia?
Thunder down under.
KIRA: Well...
ABBY LEE: I am leaving.
JEANETTE: Abby, what'd you think about Ava?
Just curious.
I thought she was great.
Quit teaching acrobatics, though, 'cause you don't know your stuff.
You know what?
Learn what a kip is.
This is exactly why I am so glad
I'm not a part of your team anymore
because all you do is pick, pick, pick, pick, pick.
I didn't! You asked me how your daughter was.
I told you I thought she looked great.
Okay, that's it, that's all you have to say.
That's all you needed to say!
Just leave it, leave it alone. Leave it alone.
You need to just shut your mouth after that.
Don't tell me to shut my mouth,
paint-by-numbers hair.
Don't ever look at me and tell me what to do.
Ever.
When Vivi-Anne looks like Maddie, I will...
stop talking.
Excuse me?
What did you just say?
ABBY LEE: Nothing, I'm not...
You heard her.
God gave you a gift with that child.
LIZA: Yeah, she's worth it, yes, she is!
I know, I taught her one day...
CATHY: You didn't teach her anything.
For one day, I taught that kid.
You know why? Because she doesn't take
to this kind of demeanor.
ABBY LEE: That little girl had
Don't talk about that little girl.
an amazing opportunity.
That little girl...
And you took it away from her,
sticking her in those anklets!
That little girl still has a...
She still has amazing opportunity.
Do your thing that you do best.
ABBY LEE: Oh!
You're not gonna film me.
Okay, don't touch me again.
Okay, ladies, ladies.
You're not going to film me.
Give me my...
I will do whatever I want.
HOLLY: Stop, stop, stop.
No, you won't.
You don't grab (bleep) from someone, you (bleep)!
Give me my phone!
(indistinct shouting)
Give me...
MAN: watch it, watch it. Watch it.
Just give me my phone.
Why should she be allowed to snatch my phone?
She's not.
Get in there and get my phone.
I'll kick her (bleep) ass.
Come on.
Smurfette?
Stop. Stop.
ABBY LEE: Payback's a bitch.
Turn it off, your phones off.
CATHY: You want to play?
You're a loser, because she loses!
(whooping, laughing)
HOLLY:
Honestly, this is a dance competition.
It's about kids dancing.
It should be fun.
And there's so much drama.
I'm sick of being associated with trash like this.
This isn't what we do.
How are we going to go to L.A.
if we can't even behave in Pittsburgh?
How are we going to Australia?
We'll be kicked out of the country.
Ridiculous.
Who are we, and what have we become?
