ABBY LEE: This is a very mature subject.
I want to do a routine that is going to serve a purpose.
It's about teaching a lesson and saving a life.
The name of the organization is called Teen Line.
And you're telling this story, and there's no one to help you.
You're not calling.
And then finally at the end when the red phone rings, you--
you're like-- you made the call, and you're reaching for help,
and it's like--
and they go-- and they lose you.
And you [clicks tongue] and they failed.
Girls, where is JoJo?
She hasn't told us anything.
We haven't seen her today.
Shall we call Jess?
[phone ringing]
RECORDING: You have reached the voicemail--
No go.
ABBY LEE: I am personally hurt and offended that Jess and JoJo
did not show up for rehearsal.
Not a phone call, not an email.
Zip.
And dammit, I deserve more.
5, 6, 7, 8.
See-- so stop.
She needs to dance stronger.
When JoJo was the other little blonde on the other end,
it was, like, balanced on both sides.
Now you three are, like, in perfect unison,
and she looks off.
This is an important, stressful, hectic week,
because we are putting a piece of art on that stage.
Unfortunately, we all have to run around like chickens
with their heads cut off and redo, revamp, re-block
what we did day one, because JoJo with the BoBo
was a no-no show-show.
Arms up by your ears a little more on the walkover.
Just a little bit.
When you're doing an important piece like the group routine,
you need to focus.
You need to bring your A game.
WOMAN: Here's more.
Here, Hol.
Here's some.
It's for the Teen Hotline.
It's awareness that there's always someone to listen.
[interposing voices]
This group dance is a very touchy, scary subject.
I've never seen a group dance about Teen Hotline,
so I hope we can pull this off.
It can't just be one of those group dances.
It has to be one of those amazing group dances
that you always remember.
ANNOUNCER: Please help me welcome entry number 77,
Suicide Hotline.
[applause and cheers]
[MUSIC - EXTREME MUSIC, "HOLD ON"]
WOMAN: (SINGING) You've been on this road too long,
hearing music but it's not your song.
Want to scream, but your voice is gone.
Days trapped inside your head.
Can't look up, because your world is down.
Walking miles staring at the ground.
All alone inside the crowd.
Letting pockets hold your hand.
But the sun is always there to shine.
The clouds block out the sky.
Oh, hold on just one more day.
Hold on.
I know you'll find a way.
Hold on.
You've got stars in your eyes, so let's paint the sky.
Oh, hold on just one more day.
Hold on.
I know you'll find a way.
Hold on.
You've got stars in your eyes, so let's paint the sky.
So let's paint the sky.
[phone rings]
[dial tone]
[music playing]
[cheers and applause]
WOMAN: Suicide Hotline is definitely
one for the record books.
I think the choreography is fresh.
It's different.
It pushes the girls.
And this dance is at a level that's competitive for teens.
And I love it.
All right, in our Teen Advanced
Group, first place goes to entry number 77, Hotline.
[cheers and applause]
Congratulations, girls.
ABBY LEE: Those kids went out there,
and they did everything they needed to do.
I thought the group performance was perfect.
It was.
Overall, I could not have asked for a better day.
It was fabulous.
