Flat Voices(Transcript)

While the entire choir were reading their sheet music, Reece and Blake came in running.
Brad: Blake, Reece, what is going on?
Reece: Blake started singing in a flat voice.
Luke: That's normal, it's still the morning.
Zoe: You don't get it Luke, every morning, Brad, Blake and I would do vocal warm ups after breakfast and we can sing properly by the time we go to school.
George: That's weird.
Harvey: Blake, try to sing.
Blake: (sings in flat voice) #I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in #I'll never meet the ground #Crash through the surface where they can't hurt us #We're far from the shallow now#
Robert: Sounds horrid.
Luke: Robert, it's not horrid, it's flat.
Zoe: We know, but who's behind this? Was it an experiment gone wrong or another expelled student?
Blake and Reece: Another expelled student.
Troy: Who? Do we even know him? When was he even expelled? Who is he? Does he eat dog?
Brad: Troy, that's the worst question ever ask and you are saying that in front of Chinese people.
Troy: My bad.
Reece: We'll tell you once we go to my sister's lemonade stand, she has ice cubes and he might be making them flat. C'mon.
The choir kids went to the lemonade stand where a villain is insulting Lexi. Reece felt the guts to tell him to stop because he's the big brother.
Reece: Oi! Stop right there!
Lexi: Reece, thank goodness you're here.
Robert: First of all, who the heck are you?
Calum: Robert, let the seniors do the job, we've been studying in SJSS for 4 years.
Adam: Glad you ask, I am Adam Martin Flatson. When I was your friend's sister's age-
Zoe: Hold up, how do you know I am Blake's sister?
Adam: You look like Blake, who's vocals were flattened by me.
Brad: You made my brother's voice flat? Unbelievable.
Adam: Well, looks like Blake Edward Thomson-Cheng has 2 siblings.
Blake: Actually I have 4 siblings, 1 is in primary school while the other is still a baby. Anyways tell us why you want objects and voices flat.
Adam: Well, when I was 13, I joined Reece's choir. Then that morning, it was choir practice and I forgot to do my vocal warm ups. Then you, Reece Jamie Brown, said that my voice was flat.
Reece: It wasn't an offence.
Adam: Then it was time to do my solo, I'm a tenor. I was singing so flatly everyone laughed at me and then I was kicked out. I started becoming a bully which causes that Ms. Jackson to expel me. Why did it happen to me? It is your fault, Brown, you got me out of the choir.
Reece: Yeah, to avoid humiliation.
Adam: And then you recruited 2 more of your classmates, 4 freshmen and 3 stupid but vulnerable juniors.
George: Stupid? Zoe and I have As in all subjects.
Adam: I don't care!
Reece: Because they're the most talented people in the school.
Adam: Well, time to make these seats flat.
Harvey: Stop.
Adam was about to blast the seats with his glasses but ended up hitting Harvey's throat.
Blake: Harvey!
Reece: You alright?
Harvey: I'm good. (sings but in a flat voice) #Every time she moves on, she says #"Don't take it personal"#
Brad: Harvey's voice is flat.
Harvey: What?
Adam: Ta ta, see you losers.
Zoe: He's getting away.
Reece: Let's go, us 8 will use our powers.
They chased Adam all the way to the park.
Zoe: He wouldn't even stop running.
Luke: Stop right there Adam.
James: Yeah.
Then Reece used his nature powers to grow vines and catch Adam for good.
Adam: Hey! Let me go! Didn't know you have powers, Brown.
Reece: Oh yeah, we are going to get your glasses and reverse the effects you did to Blake and Harvey.
Harvey: Yeah.
Troy: Hold up, why do you hate us so much?
Adam: I already told you the story you maggot.
Brad: Then give us your glasses.
Adam: Not until you sing me a song.
Brad: A song, what kind of song should I sing?
Blake: Here.
Blake tossed the sheet music to Brad.
Reece: Don't worry, Blake and Harvey will be on vocal rest until they are cured.
Blake: Yeah.
Reece: Go Brad, the solo's yours and then we'll back you up.
Brad: Got it.
Song: Shattered by Trading Yesterday
Brad: #Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding #Fall into your sunlight #The future's open wide beyond believing #To know why hope dies. #Losing what was found, a world so hollow #Suspended in a compromise #The silence of this sound is soon to follow #Somehow sundown #And finding answers is forgetting all of the questions we called home #Passing the graves of the unknown #This reason clouds my eyes, splendour fading #Illusions of the sunlight #The reflection of a lie will keep me waiting #Love gone for so long #And this day's ending is the proof of time killing all the faith I know #Knowing that faith is all I hold #And I've lost who I am and I can't understand #Why my heart is so broken, rejecting your love#
New Hope Choir: (harmonises)
Brad: #Without love, gone wrong; lifeless words, carry on #But I know, all I know's that the end's beginning #Who I am from the start, take me home to my heart #Let me go and I will run, I will not be silent#
Reece, Troy, Brad, George, Zoe and Aiden: #All this time spent in vain; wasted years, wasted gain; #All is lost, hope remains and this war's not over #There's a light, there's the sun, taking all shattered ones #To the place we belong, and his love will conquer#
All: #And I've lost who I am and I can't understand #Why my heart is so broken, rejecting your love #Without love, gone wrong; lifeless words, carry on #But I know, all I know's that the end's beginning #Who I am from the start, take me home to my heart #Let me go and I will run, I will not be silent #3All this time spent in vain; wasted years, wasted gain; #All is lost, hope remains and this war's not over #There's a light, there's the sun, taking all shattered ones #To the place we belong, and his love will conquer all#
George: #His love will come, yeah#
Brad: #Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding #Fall into your sunlight#
Michael: Okay, give us your glasses and Reece will let you go.
Adam: Fine.
Reece let go of Adam as Zoe got his glasses using her telekinesis.
Zoe: I got it guys.
Harvey: Great, now let's get back and fix Blake and I's voices, I can't wait to sing again.
Zoe: Wait, we must do this in the chemistry room, this invention might be dangerous. Also for you Adam, we are going to confiscate it.
Adam: NO!
They went back to school and into the chemistry lab. Reece did an experiment on the glasses along with the chemicals powering it up.
Reece: These glasses are powered up by a chemical called Flatranium. This can make an object flat or make voices flat. We need to use this chemical, the Un-Flatranium so that you can have your singing voices back.
Robert: These chemicals look dangerous.
Reece: Depends on the context, if it's dangerous, there is a hazard symbol in which all of the chemicals here are hazardous here. Including the plant over there.
Robert: Oh.
Reece: Alright, that I powered this invention and put the Flatranium in this bottle, I can blast Blake and Harvey.
Brad: Be ready guys.
Blake: I'm ready.
Reece: 1 2 3!
Reece blasted the glasses on Blake and Harvey.
Reece: Sing!
Song: Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper
Blake: #Tell me somethin', girl #Are you happy in this modern world? #Or do you need more? #Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for? #I'm fallin' #In all the good times #I find myself longing for change #And, in the bad times, I fear myself#
Harvey: #Tell me something, boy #Aren't you tired tryna fill that void? #Or do you need more? #Ain't it hard keepin' it so hardcore? #I'm falling #In all the good times #I find myself longing for change #And, in the bad times, I fear myself #I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in #I'll never meet the ground #Crash through the surface where they can't hurt us #We're far from the shallow now#
Both: #In the sha-ha, sha-hallow #In the sha-ha, sha-la-la-la-low #In the sha-ha, shallow #We're far from the shallow now#
Harvey: #Oh, ha, ah, ha #Oh-ah, ha #I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in #I'll never meet the ground #Crash through the surface where they can't hurt us #We're far from the shallow now#
Both: #In the sha-ha, shallow #In the sha-ha, sha-la-la-la-low #In the sha-ha, shallow #We're far from the shallow now#
Blake: I can sing again!
Harvey: Yes!
Recee: Yes, we don't have flat tenors anymore.
Luke: This is why we don't want to deal with any bully ever again.
Reece: I hope so, expelled students are against me now.
Tristan: We know, we were with you during these times.
Everyone: (laughs)
