Maya is aan het optreden. Maya: I'm Maya Matlin. That's Grace and Jonah. Zig: Whoo! Go, Maya! Zoe loopt naar Zig en gaat naast hem staan. Maya singing: When it's good. You know I'm down. When I'm feelin' it I want you around. You make me smile, but then you make me mad. When I reach out to you and I hear nothing back. I wanna be the one you wanna be with but sometimes I can't believe the things you do. What's up with you? We're not wrong. We're not right. Are we cool? Is it black or white? Are we on? Are we out? I need to know beyond a shadow of a doubt. All right. Tell me is it black or white? Man: Mmm! Then I cracked the Kia account. Maya Singing: How does it feel? Is it real? Grace: Maya focus. Maya singing: Don't ever tell me. Man: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maya singing: What you feel. Man: It's my first time meeting them too. Yeah, oh Bob was there. He totally killed it. Maya singing: It's not me. Who's holding back? Man: Yeah. Yes. Maya: Can everyone quiet down, please? Man: Okay, are you sitting? Okay, here's the slogan. Well, they bought it in the room. I mean, how could they not. Maya singing: Be the one you wanna be with. Man: Yeah. Maya singing: But sometimes I can't believe the things you say. Man: Yes, that's... yeah! Maya loopt van het podium af. Jonah: Maya, what are you doing? Maya: Would you mind going to the back so everyone else can hear the music? Man: I can stand where I want. Some girl's on her period. Maya: Hi. Could he call you later? Thanks. Man: You can't stop me from talking on my phone, bitch. Maya: Think again. Maya gooit zijn telefoon in zijn bier.
Zoe and Grace sitting at the dot and drinking coffee. Grace: Guess we'll never play that club again. Zoe: Coulfn't Maya contain her crazy till after the first chorus? Grace laughs. Tristan walks in. Tristan: I need girl talk. Now. Zoe: I'm kinda in the middle of something. Tristan: You can eat Grace's muffin later. Grace: Did you... break a nail? Tristan: No, there's a new man in my life. Zoe: Goodnight kiss? Tristan: Goodnight make-out. And then some. He reminds me of myself. Zoe: That's called narcissism. Tristan: No, not like that. He's like... me before all the crap. Before Miles. But he hassn't messaged me yet. No "Mr. President, I wanna be your vice." Grace: The X-rating is my cue to exit. Zoe looks sad. Zoe: Did you check Hastygram DMs? Tristan: Of course. Zoe: FaceRange? Tristan: First place I looked. Zoe: E-mail? Tristan: Is that a joke? Zoe: Wait... isn't he in grade ten? Tristan: OomfChat. Here's one form Vijay. Vijay on OomfChat: Hi, Tris. Last night was F-U-N. Let's do it again sometime, 'kay? Tristan: What should I say back? Zoe: Ask him if he's heard of texting?
Maya: Maybe if I replace that guy's phone, Keith'll let us play again. Grace: If you apologize for defending yourself, you give guys the permission to treat you like crap. Zoe: Except no one told you yo murder a paying customer's phone. Grace: Maya gets called a capital B, and everyone's okay with this? Score one for institutionalized misogyny. Maya: Ugh! I just wanna play music. Zoe: To play music, you need to play nice, especially with the men that control the industry. You know why there are so few girl bands? Maya: Because no one gives them a chance? Zoe: Because it's harder for them. On that stage, you need thick skin. Grace: Maya can handle it. Zoe: She broke pretty easy last night. Maya: That jerk deserved it. Zoe: Okay, that may be true, but you're the one who jeopardized your gig. You're just a little girl who can't keep her temper in check. Grace: "Just a girl." That attitude right there, that's why you can't apologize. Maya: Yeah, but what about our big break? Zoe: What's more important? Your dreams or your pride? You only get one.
Zoe: Miles is just messing with you. Tristan: Yeah, but I'm still not over him. And I can't lead Vijay on because I know how much that sucks. Why does this always happen to me? Zoe: Pitty party for one, your table is now ready. If Vijay wasn't enough to get over your Miles habit, one of these boys will. Zoe shows Tristan a picture of a man's body. Tristan: Yowza. That guy deserves an ab-salute. And if that doesn't work? Zoe: Nothing wrong with having a little fun in the meantime. Shh! They're coming on. Maya: Hi, everyone. I'm Maya Matlin. That's Grace, and that's Jonah. Zoe: Yeah, Grace! Maya: Not everyone gets a second chance at this place, so we're lucky that way. Man: I'll take a second chance on you, sweetheart. Maya: Did I forget to mention that my mom's sitting right over there? Yeah, I'm sure you didn't mean any harm, but... catcalls like that are not okay. Coincidentally, that's the name of our new song. Maya singing Not Okay.
