Jake: The next song goes out to our friends Sly and Lorena because it's sweet and romantic sound reminds us of their love.  

(amp starts to squeak)

Lorena: Hey hey that's not our love

Sly: Yeah that's more like elephant love

Tony: Yeah Mark come on fix the amp I mean nobody knows these high tech hooty booties like you

Mark: You got it

Jake: All right everybody just hold tight we're be right back just as soon as (amps squeals and breaks) soon as we get a new hooty bootie. Thank You

Tiffani: This stinks a decent amps gonna cost us at least a thousand dollars.

Lorena: Um.... Guys I can loan you enough to get a new amp

Sam: Really Lorena you'd do that for us

Lorena: Sure I love the Dreams

Sly: And we love you (puts arms around Lorena)

Jake: Wow how can we ever repay you?

Lorena: By making  me CO-mangers of the band.

Gang: No uh-huh

Jake: Uh I was thinking fifty cents a month for the next two hundred years

(Lorena shakes head no)

(At Lorena's loft)

Sly: You know I never thought of Lorena has being CO-Manger but it could be a great idea I say we do it.

Tony: I don't know man I mean what if she books us some lame gigs.

Sly: I'll slap her

Mark: What if she wants us to where some la-da- costumes?

Sly: I'll slap her

Jake: What if she gets caught kissing someone else?

Sly: I'll kill her

Tiffani: That could be a problem

Sly: Yeah but it doesn't have to be you see a lot of couples in love work together uh....Sonny and Cher, Bonnie and Clyde, Batman and Robin.

Tony: (with three fingers) Sly those couples are either shot, divorced or men.

Sly: Okay so those are bad examples but I guarantee that Lorena and I will be perfect together guys have I ever lied to you before (gang sighs) have I lied to you lately (gang sighs again) have I lied to you in the last few minutes.

Gang: No

Tiffani: Guess not

Jake: All right lets vote on it all those in favor of making Lorena CO-Manger raise their hand   (raises hands)

Sly: Oh this is perfect I never thought you'd go for it (Sly heads for door) I'm surprised, I'm shocked (opens door) hey Lorena I told you they'd go for it.

Lorena: Yes thanks guys and here's your new amp

Gang: Hey ooh

Jake: Look you two the future of our band is in your hands it's gonna take a lot of compromise so your both gonna have to choke down those egos all right.

Sly: Hey what's so egotistical about being right all the time.

Lorena: And don't worry about me I'm gonna take this job seriously and live up to my responsibilities.

Sam: Great what are you gonna do first?

Lorena: Buy a new outfit a manger has got to look good.

Sly: Hey I'll go with you I'm also great at picking out clothes

(Sly and Lorena leave)

Mark: Okay the new amps hooked up.

Jake: Great lets check it out

Mark: Here's to our new CO-Mangers

(Electricity goes out)

Tony: Dum dum dum

Jake: Knock it off

Tony: Okay

(At school)

Sly: Okay there's the dance chairmen now this guy is tuff he will never throw in free refreshments for the band.

Lorena: Oh that's awful their throats must get dried from singing.

Sly: Yeah that's why god invented water fountains. Now listen your new at this all you have to do is watch listen and learn.

Lorena: Right

Sly: Okay

(They walk over to the dance chairmen)

Sly: (clears throat) how's it going all right to play the school dance the Dreams want 500 dollars.

Lorena: and they want  free refreshments

Sly; Just give us one moment psst uh.. Lorena remember when I said watch listen and learn.

Lorena: Yeah

Sly: Well what I meant was Watch listen and learn

Lorena: Right

Sly: Right okay. Right in edition to the money instead of two brakes we want three.

Lorena: And we want free refreshments

Sly: (laughs) Just give us a second k yeah okay oh honey yeah come here remember when I said watch listen and learn two times

Lorena: Yeah

Sly: Yeah well what I meant was watch listen and learn and stay over here while you do it

Lorena: Right

Sly: Okay so like I was saying we want three brakes that are 20 minutes each the band needs their rest.

Lorena: and we want free refreshments

Sly: Would you forget about the refreshments already

Lorena: No there important the band needs something to drink while they play

Sly: It's not a deal breaker Lorena I'm trying to make them some more money here.

Lorena: Well maybe we should make a little less money and get the drinks.

Sly: I think we should make a little more money and they can buy drinks if they want them.

Chairmen: Excuse me

Sly and Lorena: What? I'm sorry she's new at this I'm sorry can I help you?

Chairmen: While you guys work out your problems I'm going to go hire a DJ for the dance I know a guy who brings his own slurpries.

Sly: (laughing) I can't believe you Lorena any further negations I want you to be quite got it.

Lorena: No I've got good ideas and you need to listen to them got it.

(Lorena walks away)

Sly: Your not listening

(Lorena's loft)

Tiffani: You lost the school dance what did you guys do?

Sly and Lorena: (at the same time) ask her ask him

Jake: I think I could guess what happened

Sly: Forget it Jake you could never guess not in a million years it's impossible

Jake: Because of your big egos neither of you would compromise

Sly: Okay you guessed.

Lorena: Look I know we have to work this out some how but don't worry from now on we won't have anymore problems.

Sly: Cause we're gonna do things my way

Sly and Lorena: (together) my way, no my way

Tiffani: (whistles) Don't you guys know that compromising means giving a little bit so you both get something you want (Sly and Lorena quiet) I guess not.

Sam: Let me try okay here's the cookie you both want the cookie but there's only one what do you do?

Sly and Lorena: My cookie my cookie my cookie

Jake:  That's it no more CO-mangers Lorena take back your amp we're played unplugged gigs for the rest of our lives if we have to.

Sly: No wait we can do this if we really want it to work.

Lorena: Yeah please just give us one more chance we're go out right now and find the Dreams another gig.

Jake: Well all right one more chance but don't mess it up this time

Sam: I don't see what the hurry is we can rehearse our new amp keeps blowing the power.

Tiffani: Okay we can't play at school and now we can't play at Sharkey's anymore either so now the only place left to play is at Lorena's loft I hope your planning lots of parties sister.

Sly and Lorena:  (together) It's his...her..fault

Jake: All right that's it unless you two learn to compromise we're dead let me tell you a little bed time story my mother told me and Kyle when we're fighting.

Tiffani: Ah I love bed time story

(Jake looks at Tiffani)

Jake: Once upon a time there was a king who had two sons and one day when they were out hunting the king was gored to death by a wild boar.

Sam: Ugg.. your mother told you that as a bedtime story

Jake: No Kyle just added that part to give me nightmares  anyway, the king died without saying which brother would become king so consequently both brother became king.

Tiffani: Well we're starving we have no food

Jake: What about all the broccoli I told you to plant?

Tiffani: We're confused we we're about to plant the broccoli but someone said to plant cauliflower instead.

Jake: What kind of a lame brain would contradict the king

Tony: How dare you call me a lame brain I am king and I want cauliflower

Jake: And I'm king and I want broccoli.

Tony: Oh boy there is only one way to settle this prepair to become a vegatable brother.
