• Replikon : Show's over, pop star!

  Static : Keep your hands to yourself, fur-fur.

  A.J. : How'd you find us?

  Static : Adam mentioned that he and Replikon used to work here a long time ago. Now to get you out of here. Ooh!

  Replikon : You can't hurt me, Static Shock. Wood doesn't conduct electricity, Static. Goodbye!

  A.J. : [A.J. plays around with a reverb machine and puts the earphones over Replikon's ears] 

  Replikon : Now let's see how you like this? Ahh! Ooh!

  Static : Thanks! That must have been some wicked reverb you fed him.

  A.J. : Nope! Just his own bad music.

• A.J. : Okay I'm dead.

  [Static lifts A.J. up and puts him on his flying disc] 

  A.J. : Thanks for getting me out of there. I guess you have fans too?

  Static : Oh yeah. Can't keep them off of me.

• [Sees the mob of fans coming] 

  Adam : RUN! I'll hold them back.

  A.J. : If you say so.

• Adam : There's a back way out.

  A.J. : Lead on.

  [Frieda and Daisy peek around the corner] 

  Frieda : That's him!

  Daisy : Okay. Let's be cool. Remember we're members of the press.

  Frieda : Right. We're total professionals...

  [Frieda and Daisy scream] 

• A.J. : Adam's tunes are hot. I'd sign him if I were you Lester.

  Lester Biggs : That's high praise coming from A.J. McLean.

  Rita Velasquez : Rita Velasquez: Artists and Relations so Adam do you have a demo tape or a CD?

  Adam : Right here.

  A.J. : I'm telling you it's hot.

  Rita Velasquez : I'll take a listen and we'll talk later.

  Lester Biggs : Excuse me for a moment. YO J-LO!

• Adam : Thanks for your help

  A.J. : Anytime. I hope it all works out for you.

  Replikon : Not if I can help it.

• Frieda : Shh! He's on TV.

  Daisy : Turn it up.

  A.J. : Yeah I was working with this Adam dude but I just wasn't feeling it. Okay so Adam's tunes were tight but they were synthetic. Me? I'm all about the real. You know what I'm saying?

  Virgil : Yeah right!

• Static : So you guys on tour or something?

  A.J. : No. I'm working with this songwriter Adam Evans. Have you heard of him?

  Static : Yeah. When he's not writing songs he's my sidekick Rubberband Man.

  A.J. : So that explains the purple underpants.

  Static : So why are you working with him?

  A.J. : Adam's beats are on the one and he's great to work with.

  Static : I might argue with you about the work part but I've gotta admit... I like Adam's music.

• Static : Well, I've gotta jet. Do yo mind? It's for a friend.

  A.J. : What's her name?

  Static : Just make it out to V.

  Static : Thanks.

  A.J. : Anytime.

• Rita Velasquez : Lester we have a big problem here. What if they wreck the studio? Think of the expense? Think of the lawsuits?

  A.J. : Think of the publicity. In Dakota today A.J. McLean and his new discovery Adam Evans attract thousands of devoted fans.

  Rita Velasquez : Lester cancel the call to 911 but send a photographer over.

• Replikon : Yo Backstreet Bum. Lester Biggs is going sign Marvin Roper, me, to an overall deal. Mansions, stretch limos, I'm going to live on the hills.

  A.J. : Yeah in a penthouse prison cell.

  Replikon : Ah ha ha! He's just a funny pop star. After I get through with you, you won't be laughing.

  A.J. : Is that right?

  Replikon : You see I was just keeping you around to make sure my imitation of you looked real but now that I have my record contract... All you're good for is lunchmeat.

• Virgil : Here you go Adam. Hey I didn't know there was a recording studio here?

  Adam : Yeah it's a trade secret now if you don't mind.

  Virgil : Hey Slow down. I want to have a look

  A.J. : Yo Adam. You got them tunes yet?

  Virgil : Hey! You're A.J. McLean! You're a Backstreet Boy?

  A.J. : Right on both counts. Let me guess? You have all our CDs.

  Virgil : Well, No.

  [A.J. fakes a heartattack] 

  Virgil : But the girls at school. They're crazy about you.

  A.J. : That's cool.

  Virgil : One question: why are you with him?

  A.J. : We're thinking about using some of Adam's music on our new CD.

  A.J. : [Female voice calls AJ over the loudspeaker]  Later.

  Virgil : No way! Adam, this could be it for you man.

  Adam : Yeah I know. That's why we have to keep this on the down low. Nobody knows that A.J. is in town and I want it to stay that way.

  Virgil : No problem. Don't sweat it. My lips are sealed.

  [Over the telephone] 

  Virgil : Richie you will not believe who I just saw.
