Watch Sonny With a Chance Sunday nights on Disney Channel
Falling for the Falls (Part One)
[Sonny's apartment]
Sonny: Mom! I'm home! A little help here!
Connie: Sonny, someone at the door needs help.
Sonny: Yeah, me.
Connie: Oh, well tell her I said hi. Look out MacKenzie! He's in the pool!
Sonny: (gasping) Mom! You're watching the falls? How could you!
Connie: How can't I? There's just so much drama.
Sonny: But it's MacKenzie Falls, and it's a betrayal, and as long as I live under your roof I forbid this.
Connie: (struggling for remote) You really should give this a chance.
Sonny: Oh, I've seen it before.
[Swipes to scene of the So Random cast sitting in the Prop House together, each holding water containers while watching MacKenzie Falls]
(TV) MacKenzie: The Falls have been in my family for generations, Chloe.
Grady: He said Falls!
All: Falls!
(They all toss up their water)
[Sonny's apartment]
Sonny: Give- me- that- remote!
(TV) MacKenzie: Chloe, maybe it's you, maybe it's me, maybe it's the horse. Maybe it's... The Falls.
Sonny: Falls! (She throws water on Connie)
Connie: Seriously?
Sonny: Sorry. Bad habit. I-I'm really sorry.
Connie: Y'know, I really think you need to give this show a chance. I mean, at first I really didn't care much for your show, but-
Sonny: Shh!
(TV) Chloe: Oh Mac, how much longer can we keep denying our feelings for each other?
(TV) MacKenzie: Until I can be sure that one of us isn't going to get hurt.
Sonny: Oh, MacKenzie.
Connie: Isn't it great! Sweetie, you don't have homework, do you?
Sonny: I do... Three seasons worth! There's just so much drama.
[Themesong]
[Prophouse]
Zora: And there's the sea of tranquility...
Tawni: And there's the second coat...
Both: And... done!
Zora: Hey fellas, how's your solar system project coming?
Grady: Right on schedule.
Nico: Haven't done a thing.
Zora: So, it's your usual plan: Wait for Sonny to finish her project, she sees how little you've done on yours, you "freak out," and she feels sorry for you.
Nico: And then she does it for us.
Grady: We put a lot of effort into this plan.
Nico: Mhmm.
Grady: Wanna go bowlin'?
Nico: Oh, I'll grab Neptune and kick your butt!
Grady: Oooh. Uranus is mine!
Tawni: Ugh, they should be ashamed of themselves.
Zora: For relying on Sonny to do all their work?
Tawni: No, just in general.
(Sonny enters)
Sonny: (yawning) Mornin'.
Tawni: Wow! If how bad you look is any indication of how hard you've been working on our project, well, may I say, hello A+! Because you look horrible.
Sonny: Well, I didn't get much done last night. There was a lot of drama at my house.
[Flashback to Sonny's aparment]
(Connie and Sonny staring at TV intently)
(TV) MacKenzie: You know how this town is. People see us on the same horse together, Chloe, they will talk.
(TV) Chloe: But I'm tired of riding alone!
Sonny and Connie: Get on that horse MacKenzie!
[Prop house]
Tawni: I don't know what went on at your house last night, but I'm very disappointed in you. I did my part, see? (Holds up hands)
Sonny: What does a manicure have to do with the universe?
Tawni: Because my nails are out of this world!
[Commissary]
(Nico and Grady walk in)
Nico: Man, I had no idea you were such a good bowler!
Grady: I am a man of many layers. Peel one back, I am a bowler, peel back another, I'm a crumper. (Grady attempts to dance)
Nico: That might be a layer you want to keep covered. Let's get something to eat.
Grady: Yeah. Oh hey, there's Sonny.
(Shows sonny looking at her Geometry book)
Nico: Oh.
Grady: Wonder how she's doing on her project. You know she can't start on ours until she finishes her own.
Nico: Wai-i-i-i-it, relax, G! Your worry layer is showing! She's probably over there, studying away.
(On Sonny's Phone screen)
(Phone) MacKenzie: It's weird, Chloe. I've never experienced this feeling before.
Sonny: (screaming) It's called love!
Grady: Worried now?
Nico: This could be worse than your crumping. Hey Sonny!
Sonny: (closing book) Oh! Hey guys! What's up? (Taking out headphones) Oh, sorry.
Grady: Hey, so, how's your solar system coming?
Sonny: Oh, uh, good, good. And yours?
Nico: Good.
Grady: Good...
Sonny: Greaaat.
Nico: Okay, that was a little weird what you yelled out a minute ago.
Sonny: What?
Grady: Somethin' about love.
Sonny: Ooh, oh yeah. No, no no no. That was just- that was just me, y'know, practicing to... be a tennis judge! Forty - Love!
Nico: A tennis judge?
Sonny: Yeah, y'know, it's always been a dream of mine. Fault! Match point! Ball boy!
Nico and Grady: Ha-ha, ha.
Sonny: See how annoying that is? You know what, I'm just gonna go practice somewhere where I won't bother anyone. I'll see you guys later?
Grady: Alright.
Nico: Cool.
Sonny: Deuce!
Nico and Grady: Woah!
Nico: A tennis judge? I wonder what else she's keeping from us.
Grady: Maybe she's a crumper.
[Sonny and Tawni's dressing room]
(Tawni is on her phone, angry)
Tawni: You have hurt me for the last time. It's over... Oh no! What have I done? That was the best relationship I ever had!
(She re-dials)
Sonny's Answering Machine: Hi! It's Sonny! Leave a message!
Tawni: It's me again! He, partner. Listen, that last message was just my fear talking. And I don't know why my fear is talking, when your guilt should be, because you should be working on our project! We're through! Oh no. What have I done?
(She begins to re-dial when Nico and Grady walk in)
Nico: Hey. Have you seen Sonny?
Tawni: No, and I'm very worried.
Grady: Me too.
Nico: You realize, if she doesn't do her project,
Tawni: Then this is all for nothing! (Holds up nails) I bought rings to match Saturn.
Grady: Ohh, don't you guys see what's happening here? We've become just like the solar system itself. A perfectly balanced, interconnected group of bodies, bound by gravity to the sun!
Nico: Or in this case, the Sonny.
Grady: See, I kinda thought my metaphor was clear without you having to hit it on the nose.
Nico: I don't think so.
Grady: Well I know so!
Tawni: Stop it! This is horrible! If sonny becomes the center of my universe, where does that leave me?
Nico: You? What about us? The fate of our scale-model universe hangs in the balance.
Zora: People! This is bigger than the solar system. Or 10% of your grade.
Tawni: What are you talking about?
Zora: Well, sometimes a girl sees things, things she wished she hadn't while slithering around in the vents and hiding in places she probably shouldn't.
Grady: What kinds of things?
Zora: Horrible things! The kinds of things that could give you an F on your science project, oh I'm talkin' about betrayal. The kind of betrayal that has to be seen to be believed!
Grady: Can't we just hear about it?
Zora: Are you really this lazy?
Grady: Yes. It's one of my layers.
Zora: You gotta see it!
[Shows Sonny sitting under bleachers in a room, watching MacKenzie Falls]
(Phone) MacKenzie: ...I'm just so confused.
Sonny: Oh, MacKenzie.
(The rest of the cast walks up from behind, whispering)
Nico: Sonny's a secret Falls watcher?
Tawni: If my nails weren't so perfect I'd scratch her eyes out!
Zora: So, we have a choice. We can break her over her despicable obsession over that cheesy melodrama and help our friend,
Grady: Or?
Zora: Or we can shame her!
Grady: I see no reason we can't do both.
(Phone) MacKenzie: If I don't ask Chloe out after they unveil my statue, I may never get the chance, or the courage again.
Sonny: How much longer can you expect a girl to wait? Just ask her out MacKenzie, ask, aaaask!
(Her cast walks up to her and she throws her phone on the ground)
Sonny: Woah! Hey guys, what's goin'? What's up?
Zora: The jig, sister.
Tawni: We know your dirty little secret.
Grady: You've been cheating on us.
Nico: With the Falls.
Sonny: Pfft. That is ridiculous, okay. You know I hate the Falls just as much as you do.
Grady: Do you? Then, I guess you won't mind if we just, take a look at your phone!
Tawni: Yeah! Get it!
(Sonny starts to run away, but she's stopped)
Grady: The first step is admitting you have a problem.
Sonny: You're right. I do have a problem. Thank you. Thank you all. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go talk to a professional immediately.
[MacKenzie Falls studio]
Sonny: I need to talk to you immediately.
Chad: Actually I'm glad you're here. I need a favor.
Sonny: I don't have time to help you with your science project.
Chad: Pfft, please. I have actual scientists for that. I need a tennis judge, and word on the street is you can help?
Sonny: What? I'm not a tennis judge.
Chad: So you just made that up.
Sonny: Yes. But listen-
Chad: Who makes up something like that?
Sonny: Who needs a freelance tennis judge?
Chad: Actually, I'm holding my annual charity tournament and I don't want to lose again.
Sonny: Ohh. I see. Well, as much as I'd like to help you cheat for a good cause, I can't. Why? Oh yeah, because I'm not a tennis judge.
Chad: Uh-huh. So what'd you want?
Sonny: Some answers.
Chad: To what?
Sonny: To how it all ends? To how long it's going to be before you ask out the girl you're destined to be with.
Chad: I'm not sure I can answer that.
Sonny: Aren't you in charge of your own destiny?
Chad: Uhh, I guess?
Sonny: Well then it's time to say "enough!" I mean, when two people are this right for each other there's only one thing to do.
Chad: ...How long have you felt this way?
Sonny: Just since yesterday. It hasn't been long but it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Chad: I guess I feel the same way.
Sonny: Well then do something about it!
Chad: Okay, I will.
Sonny: Great!
Chad: Sonny, will you go out with me?
(crowd screams)
Sonny: I'm sorry, did you just ask me out?
Chad: I'm sorry, didn't you just beg me to?
Sonny: Wait, did you think I was talking about- ... Oh dear, this is awkward.
Chad: Oh, ha ha ha! Sure is! Sure is awkward. I mean, I know why it's awkward, but just wanna know if you know why it's awkward?
Sonny: I was talking about MacKenzie and Chloe but you seemed to be talking about-
Chad: Oh, ha-ha, yup yup, me too. Same page. Woo.
Sonny: Woohoo.
Chad: See I just thought you thought I thought it was awkward, because you thought I was asking you out, y'know, rather than MacKenzie asking Chloe out. Which I was.
Sonny: Yeah but you said Sonny-
Chad: Ye ba ba. That's awkward.
Sonny: ...So.
Chad: So... You're a MacKenzie Falls fan now?
Sonny: Yeah!
Chad: Cool, cool.
Sonny: Yeah, totally.
Chad: So I suppose I should probably tell you I'm a So Random fan now.
Sonny: Really?
Chad: Yeah, but I'd be lying.
Sonny: Y'know, it's funny. Like I learned from MacKenzie falls, sometimes if you look at something with an open mind you can... surprise yourself. So, yeah.
Chad: What?
Sonny: Yeah I'll go out with you.
Chad: Good!
Sonny: Good!
Chad: So we're doing this?
Sonny: I guess so! (She begins to walk away) Oh, wait, so I still don't know, does MacKenzie ever ask-
Chad: Ah ba ba. If we're going to make this thing work I'm going to have to insist that you never ask me about my business.
Sonny: Ugh, fine. I guess I'm gonna have to check the blogs just like everybody else.
[Prop House, Sonny working on her science project]
Sonny: Solar system's done! Pretty good, huh?
Tawni: Uh-huh. Uh, huhh. It's a little busy. It's a little loud. I'll have to re-think my scarf, but I can make it work.
Grady: Sonny, have you noticed how little progress Nico and I have made on our project?
Nico: My parents are going to be so disappointed in me.
Sonny: Oh, well, I think my glue gun is still warmed up so let me help you.
Grady: See? All the planets have realigned around the Sonny again.
Nico: Mhm.
Sonny: By the way you guys, I just really want to say "thank you" for helping me kick that MacKenzie Falls habit. So glad that's behind us.
(Zora comes out of sarcophagus)
Zora: Behind us? Ha! I'm not over the betrayal.
Grady: We are! Nope!
Nico: We- we're cool with a little betrayal. We don't mind a little betrayal.
Sonny: No, you know what, you're right. It was betrayal. I kept something from you, something I knew would upset you. Which is why, in the spirit of full disclosure-
Nico: I mean, the only thing that you could possibly do that would be a bigger betrayal would be if you were, dating Chad or somethin'!
All: Ahh! Dating Chad! Hah!
Sonny: Woo! That's too funny guys, that's too funny...
Tawni: So, what did you want to disclosure to us?
Sonny: Oh! That... That. Uhm... I just need to disclose that I'm torn. As to whether or not I should include Pluto as a planet.
Zora: Umm, Pluto's not a planet.
Sonny: Says you.
Zora: Says NASA.
Sonny: You know what, I'm not just gonna take NASA's word for it! I'm gonna talk to a professional immediately. Again.
(She picks up the solar system pieces and leaves)
[MacKenzie Falls' set]
Chad: 'Kay, just need to run my lines once before we shoot this thing. Uh, let's take it from where I say "I need to talk to you right away."
(Sonny walks up)
Sonny: I need to talk to you right away.
Chad: THAT IS MY LINE! DO I NEED TO FIRE SOMEB- Oh hey, Sonny.
Sonny: Hey. Can I talk to you for a 'sec? (Turning to "Chloe") Sorry to interrupt! Huge fan! Since yesterday.
Chad: That's a five everyone. Apparently I need to talk to my lady.
Sonny: Joking! He's just kiddin'. I'm not his lady. Look, I need to talk to you about something.
Chad: Is this about our date?
Sonny: Yes, I just, I think we need to call it off.
Chad: What, is this about me not telling you how things play out between Mac and Chloe?
Sonny: No, no no. Seriously don't care about them or the Falls right now. I just, I think I rushed into something that I didn't fully think through.
Chad: ... Hurts me Sonny.
Sonny: I'm sorry.
(She hugs him)
Chad: How could you say you don't care about the Falls?
Sonny: Woah woah, wait! What are you more upset about, the fact that I'm calling off our date or that I'm over the Falls?
Chad: That's a toughie.
Sonny: That's a toughie?
Chad: Well, it's just that you date me, you date the Falls. So if you hurt one of us, you hurt us both.
Sonny: Oh. My gosh. I can't believe I was so close to going on a date with you! I mean, what was I thinking! Obviously I wasn't thinking! A-
Chad: Yeah! And ironically this is a drama-free zone, so SECURITY!
Sonny: Let me tell you something. Twenty four hours ago I fell in love with a guy named MacKenzie. And you, Chad, are no-
Chad: Don't say MacKenzie, do not say MacKenzie!
Sonny: MacKenzie!
Chad: She said it! That's it! Where's my security? You are no longer welcomed at the Falls!
(Two security guards walk up)
(Sonny throws a bucket of water at Chad)
Sonny: You said "Falls!"
(She runs away)
[Outside of the MacKenzie Falls area]
Grady: You know another layer I have? Origami. It's like a paper petting zoo.
Nico: You know, I'm not really a fan of your whole layer thing.
Grady: Dude, why are our planets on the ground?
Nico: And why are they leading to ... MacKenzie Falls!?
Grady: 'Cuz Sonny's not just watching it anymore. She's living it.
(Sonny walks out, and Nico and Grady begin to chase her)
[Sonny's apartment]
Sonny: They chased me, and they chased me, until finally I shook them when I transferred to the crosstown bus and Grady didn't have change.
Connie: That is an unbelievable story. Very dramatic. Very dramatic. You know what else is dramatic? (She reaches for remote)
Sonny: Mom!
Connie: Oh please let me watch the Falls!
Sonny: Can't we just talk? Tell me about your day.
Connie: Come onnn. (The doorbell rings) Oh good, something to do.
(Chad is standing at the door)
Connie: MacKenzie!
(She closes the door)
Sonny: Mom!
Connie: Oh, sorry. I didn't know how strict your ban was.
(Sonny re-opens the door)
Chad: Hey.
Sonny: What are you doing here?
Chad: Uh, can I come in?
Sonny: A little.
(He steps just inside)
Chad: Well I thought about what you asked me, and-
Sonny: Excuse me. Mom, you may go watch the Falls.
Connie: I'm good.
Sonny: Go watch the Falls. In your room!
Connie: Aww.
Sonny: Go on.
Chad: Anyways, so you asked me which hurt more, being over the Falls or you canceling our date, and it was definitely you canceling our date. That's not a toughie at all.
Sonny: Thanks. That's very MacKenzie of you.
Chad: Thanks. So you never did actually give me a reason why you called off our date.
Sonny: Well, I mean, it's kinda like you said. When you date me, you date So Random, and you know them, they can be a li-
(Grady, Nico, Tawni, and Zora all rush into the apartment yelling)
Sonny: What are you guys doing here?
Grady: I found change.
Zora: (Gasping) It's worse than we thought!
Nico: Flowers, a Mac Falls box set, and a photo of Chad, holding flowers, and a Mac Falls box set!
(Chad walks out from behind the door)
Nico, Grady, Zora, Tawni: Chad?!
Sonny: Chad?!
Zora: Well, it's pretty obvious what's goin' on here.
(They all state their theories)
Connie: Well you're all wrong, because Chad is here to see me.
Grady: Huh?
Nico: What?
Sonny: Mom?
Connie: It's okay Sonny. I am not ashamed to tell them the truth.
Sonny: No, but I might be. What are you doing?
Connie: Trust me. Chad came here tonight bearing gifts for me, because
Chad: Sonny's mother is also... my mother.
Sonny: So that means...?
Connie: That's right!
Sonny: Chad is...?
Connie: Yes.
Chad: Your long-lost brother.
(They all gasp)
Grady: You LIE! Don't believe them Sonny. This is the plot line of the season finale of the first three seasons of MacKenzie Falls!
Sonny: How would you know that, Grady?
Grady: I don't know.
Sonny: Grady.
Grady: Because I used to secretly watch the falls.
(They all gasp)
Zora: Ah, who are we kidding. We've all been hooked at one point or another.
Tawni: I hit bottom three years ago.
Nico: I've been Falls-free for two seasons.
Grady: ...Six episodes.
Chad: (laughing) This is awesome!
Sonny: So wait, why have you guys been getting all over me?
Nico: Because we thought you were different.
Zora: We wanted to keep you pure.
Grady: And we were all very concerned about our science projects. But mostly to keep you pure.
Tawni: But you've been soiled by the Falls like the rest of us. And that means that makes you no better than me! Haha. You guys can start revolving around me again.
Nico: W-Wait a minute. If Chad's is not really here because he's Sonny's brother, then what is he doing here?
Zora: Aah, good one Nico.
Chad: You want me to tell them?
Sonny: No! No no no. I'll tell them. Because I am not ashamed and I have nothing to hide.
Connie: That's my girl.
Sonny: I am... (She puts her hand on his shoulder, and then steps away) judging Chad's celebrity tennis tournament, duh!
Grady, Nico, Tawni, Zora: Ohh! I thought you were going to say "Dating!" Okay, alright! Bye Sonny! Bye!
Sonny: So, aah, When's the tournament?
Chad: I'll give you the details tomorrow night.
Sonny: What's tomorrow night?
Chad: Oh, our first date. (He winks at her) See 'ya.
Connie: Ooh, the plot thickens!
Sonny: Room!
Connie: Oh, can't we just talk?
Sonny: Room.
Connie: Aww.
[To Be Continued...]
[Commissary]
(Phone) MacKenzie, Narrating: On the next MacKenzie Falls. An innocent dance turns into a date. With danger.
Grady: (Gasping)
(Phone) MacKenzie: Chloe. We're going to polka. Nobody can find out.
(Phone) MacKenzie, Narrating: And you won't believe whose got it out for MacKenzie.
Grady: No, spoilers! No spoilers!
(Phone) MacKenzie: Be there, and wear your polka pants.
Grady: I'm already wearing them.
Nico: What are you doing, G?
Grady: Oh oh, nothing!
Nico: Are you wearing polka pants...?
