Cheat It

At the red carpet of the annual teen scene awards, Nancy O'Dell is reporting live.

NANCY Welcome back everybody to the fifteenth annual teen scene awards, I'm Nancy O'Dell and get ready for a major sugar rush ... because two of my favorite pieces of eye candy have just come down the red carpet. I am talking about the incredible Hannah Montana and her new beau country rocker Austin Rain, good to see you!

Hand in hand Hannah Montana and Austin are standing beside her.

HANNAH Hey Nancy!

AUSTIN Yhoa! Nanno! What up?

NANCY You're a duet Us without You is on the hot one hundred charts and speaking of hot ... how's that little romance going? And of course you can tell me they ... are not listening right.

HANNAH Well ... it's so easy singing a love song with the incredible hunk over here ... (pounces on him)

AUSTIN Oh chucks! Hey this little chili filli here could make anyone look good. Check it. (steps away from Hannah) I'm a regular hunky guy -- (embraces Hannah) incredibly hunky guy!

HANNAH Oh you! No ... us!

AUSTIN Oh ... by Nance!

The two walk off embraced in each other.

NANCY Oh are they not just as cute as newborn puppies! I love them!

As Hannah and Mark are away from the paparazzi crowds Hannah releases herself from him.

MARK You were supposed to stand on my left so I could show off my better side!

HANNAH Oh you want to show off your better side! Well you could just put a bag over your head and let your liney go all whiney.

MARK You make me want to hurl!

HANNAH Oh great! Aim for my eyes so I don't have to look at you!

Two photographer approach them.

PHOTOGRAPHER Hannah Austin! Over here!

The two strut a romantic pose.



At school Miley and Lily are standing in the locker hallway looking at a magazine with a photo of Hannah and Mark captured on the front. Miley takes the chewing gum from her mouth and sticks it all over Mark's face.

LILY How much longer do you have to fake date this incredibly yummy ... (Miley stares at her) dummy! Yummy gummy dummy! More gummy dummy than yummy!

MILEY Well the publicity people want me to stay with him until the record goes double platinum but I hate the guy so much I might just buy a million copies of myself just to end the torture!

LILY If this is torture bring on the pain! You poor thing.

The school bell rings.

LILY Gotta go bye! (Handing the magazine to Miley she walks away in a hurry - she then turns back and grabs the magazine as she walks off again)

As Lily and the crowds are gone Miley opens her locker and puts her bag away. As she walks away she sees Jackson standing in a corner dealing secretively with someone.

MILEY Jackson?

The stranger walks away and Jackson hides the piece of paper behind his back.

JACKSON Hey ... Miley. You go here? We should totally carpool! See you!

As he attempts to walk off Miley blocks his way.

MILEY Why were you giving that guy money?

JACKSON What guy? There's no guy! I don't see any guy. Is that a new outfit? I love what it does for your eyes! Bye!

As he turns away Miley steals the piece of paper from behind his back and opens it up.

MILEY These look like test answers.

JACKSON (squeaky voice) What! No! They aren't test answers this is a ... (takes paper from her) it's a ... it's a ... treasure map. It's a secret treasure map! (folds the paper up) Sshh!

MILEY (snatching paper from him) What's the treasure Captain Crook? An A on your history test?

JACKSON Yeah like Mr. Meadows would ever believe I get an A. I'm not that stupid. I'm going for a B Plus!

MILEY No! (starts running) No I am not going to let you do this! You know what if you cheat you're going to get expelled ... you'll never get a job ... and by the time that Daddy's in that little coot home you'll be begging to live me but I won't let you because I won't want a cheat hanging around my little Rance Junior!

JACKSON Rance?

MILEY In my dreams I marry a Rance, K! This is why you cannot cheat.

Jackson snatches the paper from her.

JACKSON Watch me! I'm not throwing one hundred bucks down the toilet!

MILEY Ohhh... good idea! (Miley snatches the paper from him and races into the girls bathroom. Jackson follows after her but bumps into a teacher)

MRS SCHABLANSKY Where do you think you're going Mr. Stewart?

JACKSON Oh the dress means it's the girls room! (the two start walking down the corridor together) Principals office?

MRS SCHABLANSKY Yeah.

JACKSON I know the way.

Jackson is in the Stewart kitchen when Miley struts in from the front door with attitude.

MILEY We have some unfinished business mister! You ever try to cheat again just remember this ... I have my eyes on you!

JACKSON Don't worry Miles I'm not going to cheat.

MILEY I don't want to hear any of your ... (????) say what?

JACKSON I should've never bought those answers. Cheating is stupid. And if I want to get a good grade I'm just gonna have to study for it.

MILEY But ... no fair! I had more speech! I had the scolding finger waggle ... the righteous fist thump and then ... the disapproving (???) neck.

Miley moves her neck around in a circular fashion.

JACKSON And I would've deserved it all. Seriously Miles. Thanks for being there for me.

As Jackson turns back to his papers Miley begins pacing suspiciously around him. Finally she gives him a hug from behind.

MILEY I'm just so proud of you! And it feels so much better knowing that I didn't block up the only girls toilet that works for nothing.

Jeff the guy who sold Jackson the cheating papers walks in.

JEFF Dude try not to lose this one!

Jackson frees himself from Miley and confronts him at the door.

JACKSON Hey ... Jeff! I think you have the wrong house. (whispering as he is closer) What part of live it at Rico's didn't you get?

JEFF Do you want it or not?

JACKSON (peering over at Miley) No sir! I do not! Good day! I said good day! (beginning to close the door on him) Leave it in the mail box!

JEFF What?

JACKSON In the mailbox!

JEFF What!

JACKSON Leave it in the mailbox!

Jackson slams the door on him and turns back to Miley.

JACKSON Can you believe that guy? (pause) Hey I think I'm gonna go check the mail!

MILEY Alright now I see why you thought you had to cheat! You're unbelievably (???) day.

JACKSON What?

MILEY (????)

JACKSON Excuse me?

MILEY You are stupid!

JACKSON Look it's just one test why do you care if I cheat anyway?

MILEY Because I care about you! I don't why. I don't like it.

JACKSON Look you just don't understand. This is my toughest class and if I don't get my average I'm not going to be able to go away to College ... and get away from you!

MILEY And you think I don't want that? But you know how dishonest this is your cheating!

JACKSON Really! Maybe we can have a discussion about dishonesty after your next fake date with that jerk who you're trying to pass off to the whole world as your boyfriend!

MILEY (long gasp) That is not the same thing!

JACKSON Yes it is! I'm doing whatever it takes to get into College ... you're doing whatever it takes to sell albums!

MILEY (lost for words) But I ....

JACKSON Don't have an answer? Well maybe you can buy one from Jeff. Not so (????) day now am I!



Later on Robby is in the kitchen vacuuming.

ROBBY (singing) I vacuum the house! Dust it to shape! I'm mopping the floor I've got to get me a maid ... single dad ... sore ... my aching bones can't take no more! Whoaaa! Thank you Malibu!

He retires to the couch leg aching. He switches on the television.

ADVERTISEMENT VOICE (V/O) Do you feel overworked and under-appreciated?

ROBBY Yes I do!

ADVERTISEMENT VOICE (V/O) Do you make silly old people noises when you settle into a couch?

ROBBY No. (makes a grunting noise as a muscle breaks) Yeah.

The TV shows an old man sitting down in a sauna.

ADVERTISEMENT VOICE (V/O) Well melt the years away with the healing powers of Senor Steam! (the sauna fills with steam and a strong young man steps out) Call today and let Senor Steamy recapture the dream!

ROBBY Nice try but I'm not wasting my money on that garbage!

ADVERTISEMENT VOICE (V/O) Act now and receive a complimentary Senor Steam hair (????). (Robby begins rubbing his hair) Used by hair models around the world.

ROBBY (dialing number in phone) Well I guess one little informational phone call wouldn't hurt!



Robby is sitting on the couch reading the newspaper as the doorbell rings several times. Looking at his watch he gets up to answer the door.

ROBBY Right on time Senor Steam!

Robby answers the door to reveal Rico standing at the doorstep dressed up.

RICO Heyo!

ROBBY You got to be kidding me!

RICO No! I am Senor Steam. My dad bought me the company on my tenth birthday. I wanted an airline ... but no! That would spoil it.

ROBBY I hate to say it but that little voice inside my head is telling me to close this door just as quick as I can! (he attempts to slam the door but Rico holds out his foot. Rico walks in)

RICO Well is this the same place that told you to wear those jeans today? It ain't doing you any favors!

ROBBY Hey Rico no offense but I'm a bit more comfortable doing business with your Dad.

RICO Fine. Then you won't get the thirty percent friends and family discount.

ROBBY I'm sorry but I'm not ...

RICO Thirty five percent!

ROBBY It's not about the money.

RICO Forty and I'll be nice to your son at the shack.

ROBBY Forty five and I don't care how you treat him.

They shake hands on it.



Humming to himself dressed in a dressing robe he walks through the fitness room and into the sauna.

SAUNA VOICE (V/O) Welcome ... Robby Stewart. To the Senor Steam five thousand. We look forward to providing you and the ... Robby Stewart ... family with years of blissful blissful relaxation.

As the steam starts to emerge there is a clog up. Robby unhappily gets up from his happy place.

ROBBY Dang flab it! (he kicks it)

The devious voice of Rico can be heard from the speaker.

RICO (V/O) No refunds or returns.



Hannah and Austin are performing their hit together on a talk show.

COLIN Adorable! Now we'll be back with America's newest sweethearts right after I call my wife and tell her I love her.

Colin walks off with his phone.

STAGEHAND (V/O) And we're out!

Violently Hannah and Austin release themselves from each other.

AUSTIN Try a breath mint next time!

HANNAH What? You don't like stinky cheese breath! (she purposely blows her breath against him)

Hannah walks over to Lola backstage who is holding out a breath sprayer.

LOLA Open!

Hannah opens her mouth as she approaches Lola and Lola sprays.

LOLA Look I know he's a jerk but that song is so darn romantic!

HANNAH I know but I was just thinking about Jackson the whole time.

LOLA Wow that's a little weird.

HANNAH I was talking about his cheating! Every time I tell him it's wrong he's like "you're doing the same thing with your bogus boyfriend"

LOLA Well that's ridiculous.

HANNAH Thank you!

LOLA I mean Jackson's only really cheating himself. I mean ... you're lying to the entire world.

HANNAH I liked you a whole lot more five seconds ago.

LOLA Look I'm sorry but Jackson's got a point. I mean it's hard to take advice from someone who says one thing and does another.

HANNAH You know what that is .... totally true! You know what you're little life lessons are getting really annoying.

Lola walks away as Hannah walks back over to the stage desk beside Austin and Collin. Colin is still chatting on the phone to his wife.

COLIN Honey I can't say that right now! (glances at Hannah) (turns away singing) Alright fine. You're super hot you're super girl you're the girl I like a lot. You're super super wife you're super super ... I gotta go. (he hangs up and turns back to Hannah and Austin) And we're back with my favorite cutie and the lucky guy who gets to call him his 'babe'.

AUSTIN Oh I sure am lucky Colin!

COLIN (to Hannah) You feel the same way to don't you!

HANNAH Colin. Words cannot describe how I feel.

COLIN Sure they can that's what words do! So babble away and tell us the honest truth. When you look at this (???) how do you really feel?

HANNAH Well actually Colin. I feel (releases herself from his arms) appalled! Barfy! Creeped out! Disgusted!

AUSTIN (reattaches himself) Hannah! Baby! What are you doing?

HANNAH [releasing herself again] Put a cork in it I'm only (???) to eat. Embarrassed. Freaked. Gaggy.

COLIN Horrified.

HANNAH Exactly.

COLIN No no! I'm horrified. What happen to the love?

HANNAH I'll tell you what happened to it. The publicity people only made us pretend that we like each other to sell our record.

AUSTIN (covering her mouth) Millions and millions of records you little goofball you. (she bites him) She bit me! You know what! I don't need you. Alright. I'm hot! And I sing great. (???)

In style he exits flashing off his jacket.

HANNAH Keep on walking Austin Rein! Real name ... Albert Neatermeyer!

AUSTIN (From backstage) Hey! That's supposed to be secret!

HANNAH Not anymore! (to Colin) Don't you just love having me on your show?

In the Stewart living room Miley and Jackson are sitting watching the talk show episode -- and Miley happily switches it off at this point.

JACKSON Wow. I guess if you've got the guts to be that honest then I should have the guts not to cheat. (he takes the answer sheet and rips it up)

MILEY (holding up her hand for a high five) Wait a go bro give me some!

As they shake hands Miley notices black felt pin writing on Jackson's arm.

MILEY What is that?

JACKSON Nothing.

MILEY You wrote the test answers on your arms didn't you!

JACKSON No I did not!

Miley pulls up his arm to reveal writing.

JACKSON That's a ... weird looking rash.



MILEY I cannot believe you'd still cheat after what I did for you!

JACKSON Hey I didn't ask you to do that!

MILEY Yeah I should've gone straight to Dad. But no! Trying to convince you to be honest is like trying to convince Uncle Earl skinny jeans do not make him look skinny IF you're fat!

Miley begins to walk up the stairs.

JACKSON You're not going to go to Dad.

MILEY Watch me.

JACKSON You really want to go down that road?

MILEY Absolutely. (she walks up the stairs then turns back) What road! And exactly why wouldn't I want to go down it?

JACKSON Oh you know the road that starts with you telling Dad this about me and ends with me telling Dad everything I know about you.

MILEY (fake laughter) OK when you say everything.

JACKSON Everything. Past ... Present ... and future.

MILEY Future! What kind of brother are you!

JACKSON I guess you could consider me a traitor. Much like ... (reads from arm) Benedikt Arnold who in 1879 gave away (???) (reads from leg) to the British!

He walks off.



Robby is impatiently listening to Rico's voice on the phone.

RICO (V/O) Hello and welcome to Senor Steam! If you wish to continue with our automated helpline ... press one. (Robby presses one) You pressed one! If this is correct press one!

Violently he presses one again.

ROBBY Just get on with it!

RICO (V/O) If you're experiencing warping in your your seater seat press one. If you're experiencing splintering in your seater seat press two. If you're experiencing dry rot in your seater seat press three.



By now Robby is leaning against the door to the room banging his head on the door listening to Rico's voice.

RICO (V/O) If you're experiencing (?????) coming from your seater seat press sixty-seven!

ROBBY I'm going to be sixty-seven before this is over!



He is now balancing himself on the Swiss Ball.

RICO (V/O) For lack of steam press ninety.

ROBBY Finally!

He dials in ninety.

RICO (V/O) Thank you for your patience. An operator will be with you momentarily.

ROBBY Hallelujah!

RICO (V/O) You're estimated wait time is just three days ...

ROBBY Three days! Three days my Aunt Bertha's backside!

He storms out.



He walks back in with Rico pushed in front.

ROBBY Rico I want this thing fixed and I want it fixed now!

RICO Alright alright! Did you try hitting the reset button?

ROBBY What.

RICO The reset button. It's in big red letters. On page one of your manual. (Robby looks annoyed) You read the manual right!

ROBBY Of course I did. And I pressed the reset button ... (walks over to key pad; unsure of which button to push down) reset ... reset ... reset ....

RICO Reset button.

Rico walks over and pushes down the reset button.

ROBBY Oh that reset button. I must've pressed the other one.

RICO There is no other one.

ROBBY (softly) Leave me my pride.

RICO What?

ROBBY (loudly) Leave me my pride boy!

Robby walks back into the sauna room without another word.



The following morning Jackson is sitting in the kitchen having breakfast as Robby comes down.

ROBBY Hey I'm just going for a quick jog. Good luck on your test.

JACKSON What do you mean by that!

ROBBY Nothing I'm just saying good luck.

JACKSON Oh ... thanks.

ROBBY You got everything covered?

JACKSON What do you mean by that!

ROBBY Wow son take it easy. I can see you're stressed but everything will be fine.

JACKSON I know!

ROBBY Well urh ... bye.

JACKSON Bye!

Robby jogs out the door.

JACKSON [As Robby is gone] It's so hot in here! (he rolls up his sleeves) No sweating no smudging! No sweating no smudging!

Miley walks down.

MILEY Looseinig up some cheating skin or writing down more cheaty answers Floppy McCheater Pants.

JACKSON Look Miley. I'm not proud of this but ... I can't risk not getting into College. I gotta go I don't want to be late for that test ... (he walks towards the door)

MILEY Jackson ...

JACKSON Where are my keys!

The two look over and see Jackson's keys sitting on the coffee table. They fight over each other to reach for them and Miley ends up with them.

JACKSON Hey give me those keys!

MILEY (deep gasp) I don't think so.

Jackson chases Miley upstairs as Lily enters through the front door.

LILY Miley! Are you ready for school?

She looks over and sees Miley falling out the upstairs window and down outside the kitchen window. Miley runs in with Jackson's keys giggling deviously. As she reaches the kitchen bench Jackson also falls down.

JACKSON (Through the window) Miley stop running! No sweating no sweating no sweating!

MILEY Quick Lily! I've got a plan and need backup! (she starts to run upstairs)

LILY [dropping her school bag] Of course you do. (follows after Miley) Why is never "sit down have some breakfast"?

As they have gone Jackson frantically runs in after them.

JACKSON No sweating! No smudging! No sweating! No smudging! Oh great. There goes the Nineteenth Amendment! Thanks to you women are losing the right to vote!

He runs up the stairs.

Miley and Lily walk into the fitness room upstairs.

MILEY Now when Jackson comes in close the door.

LILY Would it kill you to throw in a please once in a while!

MILEY Please.

LILY Thank you.

Miley walks into the sauna room and Lily holds the door open as Jackson walks in.

JACKSON Right where is she!

LILY Not in there!

JACKSON Man you're dumb!

As Jackson walks into the sauna Lily closes the door after him.

LILY Not as dumb as you.

Miley is standing in the sauna room waiting for him.

JACKSON Give me my keys now!

MILEY OK!

Miley chucks his keys back and they land on the steam machine.

JACKSON Well that was easy.

As he reaches for the keys he realizes he has been set up.

MILEY Hit it Lily!

LILY Hit what?

MILEY The green button!

LILY The green button what?

MILEY The green button please.

LILY Thank you!

Lily does as she is instructed and steam begins to engulf the room.

JACKSON Oh now I'm getting out of here!

MILEY To late! Lily locked the door. (to Lily) Kick it up!

Lily gives her a stern look.

MILEY (impatiently) Please!

LILY Thank you!

She does as she is told once again and by now Miley and Jackson are sweating terribly.

MILEY It's getting hot in here. Are you working up a sweat yet?

JACKSON No! No! My answers! (whimpering to the ground) They're melting! They're melting!

MILEY Look. I can see you're upset. But at least now whatever grade you get on your test you know you deserve it.

He and Miley take a seat on the bench.

MILEY Jackson.

JACKSON Now how am I supposed to know the Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 overturned Plessy v. Ferguson? Or in 1919 the Treaty of Versailles ended the World War I? Or the FDR's New Deal created the whole bunch of programs we still use today?

MILEY Jackson! SEOP!

JACKSON It was all right here! And now it's all ... (points to his head) Up here! How did that happen?

MILEY Well. Looks like writing all the answers on your body was kinda like studying.

JACKSON I studied? Yeah! I studied! Hey look! I think I'm going to ace this test! Or ... at least B-ce it.

MILEY Yes you can. And?

JACKSON It feels really good to be prepared.

MILEY Yes. And?

JACKSON You look like a raccoon at a water park?

MILEY You'll pay for that later. And ...

JACKSON Thanks.

MILEY You're welcome.

The two share a hug.

JACKSON OK Lily you can unlock the door now!

MILEY There's no locks in this steam room that would be totally dangerous! Dargh!

Miley opens the door.

JACKSON You.

MILEY I learnt from the best.

Robby walks into the fitness room to meet Lily.

ROBBY Lily. What are you doing up here?

LILY Argh ... nothing. Just looking for Miley.

Both a sweated mess Jackson and Miley walk through the fitness room waving at their father.

LILY Hey look! There she is always the last place you look.

MILEY What's up Dad?

JACKSON Hey pop.

They walk out leaving Robby and Lily.

ROBBY Do I want to know?

LILY No not really.

Lily walks out after Jackson and Miley.

ROBBY Argh ... (he turns back to the sauna) You're probably right.



Robby is sitting in the sauna room on the phone to his mother.

ROBBY Yeah ma. Yeah I'm telling you this Senor Steam is the best investment I ever made. When I get in here it's like I'm the only person in the whole wide world. All those little things that tend to drive my crazy just disappear!

Rico enters.

RICO Heyo!

ROBBY Rico. What are you doing here!

RICO We came for the steam.

ROBBY Meaning?

RICO You went for the friends and family discount.

ROBBY Yeah.

RICO You don't think that meant your friends and family did you? Come on in everybody! The steam is great!

A crowd of Rico's family come hurdling in and congregate around the steamer.

ROBBY (on phone) Well mom you know what they say. Desperate times call for desperate matters.

Robby lowers the phone from his ear and a popping noise is heard. Robby has farted! Rico and his family can't race out of the sauna quick enough.

ROBBY [raising phone to ears] Like I said mom I'm loving the steam room!
