ABBY LEE MILLER: Kendall, let's go.
The title of your routine is "The Scream."
It's a routine that Maddie would have excelled at.
The acting and the crazy part, you
need to go 150% across the line if it's going to win.
Here, here, hide them, hide them.
I'm pulling out all the stops for Kendall.
I'm giving her a Maddie routine.
Does Kendall have it in her?
You know, she's the kind of kid that laughs.
She's going to think it's goofy.
She doesn't want to do it.
Then the tears start.
Then we run to mama.
And then they walk out and quit.
Will Kendall take yet another opportunity and throw it away.
And the scream needs to be, like, guttural.
It's from your gut.
[scream]
Dear god.
That's the scream I don't ever--
Someone just cut her arm off.
Do it.
[yell]
No, you're like in your head.
Get-- get in your stomach.
Like, there's a monster coming out of you.
[scream]
Make the face.
And let me hear you really scream.
[scream]
Is she my daughter or what?
Well, she call it a Maddie solo.
I mean has she ever given Kendall something
and then called it a Maddie solo?
I don't think so.
That's a huge boost.
Like, I'm giving you a Maddie solo.
She laid the gauntlet down for Kendall, you know?
But in her eyes, no one will ever live
up to what she did with Maddie.
Abby said it's a Maddie solo.
In my mind and Kendall's mind, leads us to believe this
is going to be great.
I just wish that Abby wouldn't always go back to Maddie
Maddie chose to leave.
Let's move on.
Let's make it a Kendall solo.
Funny thing is is I don't think
Kendall would have gotten a Maddie
solo if Kathy wasn't here.
That's the irony--
I happen to agree with you.
So that old twit has done something good for me.
ABBY LEE MILLER: Kendall, last week,
you were first with Brett.
You have to be first on your own.
You've been first with Maddie.
You've been first with Kalani.
You've been first with a lot of people.
I need you to be first Kendall, right?
KENDALL: Mm-hm.
ABBY LEE MILLER: If you go out there
and you don't nail this solo, no more solos.
All right, girls, come on.
Let's go.
Kendall, Abby gave you so many different solos.
But I don't feel that any of them are like this at all.
You got it.
Abby has been telling me that it's a Maddie solo.
But you know, Maddie just had something about her that
made this team even better.
And she was the leader of the team.
But maybe if I do well, I could be the leader.
That's always something I've wanted to do.
ANNOUNCER: 702, "The Scream."
[music playing]
[scream]
Good job, Kendall.
My God, she nailed it.
ANNOUNCER: That was something else.
How'd you feel?
How does it feel?
Because I don't want Abby to be like, you played it safe.
No, you did not.
You did not play it safe.
Abby.
Ladies and gentlemen, in the team division--
JILL: Here at New York Dance Experience,
there isn't a top five, not even a top three, only
a first overall.
Our top team soloist--
"The Scream."
Come on up, Kendall.
[inaudible] no way!
Congratulations, Kendall.
[cheering]
You had a win.
That was great.
