(vocalizing) (singing) please don't stop the, please don't stop the please don't stop the music please don't stop the music now, this is exactly the type of performance you would expect to see at the international championship of collegiate a cappella. am i right, gail? john, you're so right, everything else seems wrong. john: boy, these barden university treblemakers always thrill the judges. and the ladies in the room cannot get enough.
so true, john. nothing makes a woman feelmore like a girl than a manwho sings like a boy. we're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face i wanna take you away let's escape into the music dj, let it play, i just can't refuse it like the way you do this keep on rockin' to it please don't stop the please don't stop the please don't stop the chloe, look at you. you're a mess. you're unfocused. you're unreliable.
and your breath smells like egg. like, all the time. i can't believe the bellas are being passed on to you two slut bags after we graduate. just don't eff up your solo. i won't disappoint you. my dad always says,"if you're not here to win, "get the hell out of kuwait." has your dad ever told you to shut up? i'm fine. please don't stop the music
ouch! boy, that hurt. gail: sexy man-splits. john: his pain is our gain, gail. (cheering) all right, good luck, guys! good luck out there! seriously, you girls are awesome...ly horrible. i hate you. kill yourselves. girl power! sisters before misters! all right, ladies, it's now or never. hands in!
all: one, two... (all singing together) up now, the barden bellas! john: well, the bellas tonight are making history as the first ever all-female group to advance to the icca finals. gail: that's right, john. now, why do you think it's taken so long for an all-lady group to break through that a cappella glass ceiling? well, gail, the women, typically, cannot hit the low notes, which really round out an arrangement, thrill the judges,
and that can really hurt them in competition. women are about as good at a cappella as they are at being doctors. (plays note) one, two, three, four. (singing) i got a new life you would hardly recognize me, i'm so glad how could a person like me care for you? why do i bother when you're not the one for me? ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh it's enough, enough?
i saw the sign is it me or did we just take a left turn into snoozeville? yeah, and we parked in a lot where they do not validate. i saw the sign and it opened up my eyes i saw the... no! holy... this is a surprise! this has never happened! now, this is how you bring some excitement

if i could sing a lick, in any human way possible, i would, but i can't. and i hate myself every day because of it! i know. but if you think this is just some high school club, where you can sing anddance your way throughany big social issue, or confused sexuality, you have come tothe wrong place. there is none of that here.
that's high school. this shit is real life! now, don't just bring it,sing it. and let's do this. hey, bellas, remember when you tried to play in the big leagues and you choked? that should really be a lesson to everyone. if you sing the same boring, girly shit every year, you will blow chunks. all over the place. vomit everywhere. my fellow a-ca-people.

make good choices. i thought of a new name for this hairstyle. it's called the orthodox jew ponytail. yeah? 'cause it's very reserved at the front... i see that. but party in the back. i see these happening here. (laughs)
(all cheering) here's the real question. who would be easier to sleep with? captain america or a great white shark? great white shark. i wouldn't... hey. what are you turd burgers talking about? dressing for comfort? you are probably the grossest human being i've ever seen.
well, you're nopanty-dropper yourself. so i have a feeling that we should kiss. and is that feeling a good feeling or an incorrect feeling? well, i sometimes have a feeling i can do crystal meth, but then i think, "hmm. better not." (singing) but you gotta keep your head up and you can let your hair down you gotta keep your head up i don't know the words, but i can...
thank you. this is awesome. it's definitely something. we are thekings of campus! keep your head up but you gotta keep your head up i know it's hard, know it's hard man, the old bellas was hot! yeah, they kept it tight.
aubrey: okay. sopranos in the front and altos in the back. as you can see, kori is not here. last night she was treble-boned. she has been disinvited from the bellas. that oath was serious? dixie chicks serious. you can fool around with whoever you want to, just not a treble. that's not gonna be easy. he's a hunter. you call it a dude?
stacie, the trebles don't respect us, and if we let thempenetrate us, we are giving them our power. not a good enough reason to use the word "penetrate." so, does anyone here have anything to confess? it was an accident. i... turn in your scarf and go. (fake coughs) slut. take your chair.
(chair drags noisily) (sobbing) was that necessary? this is war, beca, and it is my job to make sure that my soldiers are prepped at go time with three kick-ass songs sung and choreographed to perfection. and there are only four months until regionals. so, if you have a problem with the way that i run the bellas, then you should just...
(whispering) don't stress, aubrey. relax. we don't want a repeat of what happened last year. (exhales) (quietly) what happenedlast year? what are you saying? what happened last year? and do you guys wanna see a dead body? (indistinct speaking on video) click on "guy pukes on cat."
enough! it happened. it's over. we will practice every day for at least two hours, seven days a week. and i trust you will add your own cardio. why cardio? yeah, no, don't putme down for cardio. okay, moving on. this is a list of all of the songs that we have ever performed. and you will notice that we only do songs made famous by women. there's nothing from this century on here.
because we don't stray from tradition. now, this is how we will become champions.

so you will never wanna feel this way again. chloe, your voice didn't sound aguilerian at all. chloe, for serious,what is wrong with you? i have nodes. what? oh, my god. i found out this morning. what are nodes? vocal nodules. the rubbing together of your vocal cords at above-average rates
without proper lubrication. they sit on your windpipe and they crush your dreams. isn't that painful? why would you keep performing? because i love to sing. yeah, it's like when my lady doctor told me not to have sex for six weeks, and i did it anyway. you should really listen to your doctor. the key is early diagnosis. i am living with nodes.
but i am a survivor. i just have to pull back. because i am limited. because i have nodes. aubrey: chloe, this is horrible. well, at least it's not herpes. or do you have that as well? (chuckles) hmm? jesse?
i'm starving,so could you... you want me to get you lunch? you should probably lay off the burgers. you're not gonna be 22 forever, you know. yeah, i think i'm good. he's good. you're good. and the chess match continues. hey, this is my new mix, so if there's anything you wanted to play...
yeah, okay, i'll put it on the pile. okay. what's up, weirdo? what's this? as much as i love spending time withyou stacking cds...and i do. i love it, like,more than life. ...i figured we could do some other fun things that don't make us wanna kill ourselves, right?
so, brought some movies. jaws, e.t., the breakfast club, star wars and rocky. best scored and soundtracked movies of all time. that's what i wannado when i grow up.i wanna score movies. bring people to tears,you know. blow their minds. i feel like only music can do that. you must really sweep your girlfriend off her feet. i don't have a girlfriend. what?
you have juice pouches and rocky. okay, so what do you wanna watch first? wanna do something else? we could relive my parents' divorce. or visit a gynecologist. what, do you not like movies or something? like, any movies? you don't... what the hell is wrong with you? how do you not like movies? not liking movies is like not liking puppies.
they're fine. i just get bored and never make it to the end. the endings are the best part. they're predictable. like, the guy gets the girl, and that kid seesdead people and darthvader is luke's father. okay, right, so you just happened to guess the biggest cinematic reveal in history? "vader" in germanmeans father. his name is literally "darth father." huh. so, you know german.

oh! why can't we figure this out? (loudly) so, i just find songs that have the same chord progressions and create a track that blends them together. so, like, this is the new bass line, and this is matching up downbeats. (quieter) oh, i'm talking really loud. that's me singing. (loudly) this is really good. (quieter) now i'm the one yelling, right?
that is amazing, beca. thanks. so, i brought this over, because i wanna watch you watch the end of this movie. and then i can die a hero. wait, actually... you have a habit of making yourself at home, did you know that? beca: hmm... (rock music playing on laptop)
the breakfast club. 1985. greatest ending to any movie ever. this song launched simple minds in the us. could have been a billy idol song, but he turned it down. idiot. perfectly sums up the movie. it's equally beautiful and sad. that is fascinating. right? tell me, what does judd nelson eat for breakfast?
oh, well, like all misunderstood rebels, he feeds on hypocrisy. sure. and black coffee to help with his morning dumps. you're an idiot. it's true. i'm full of fun facts. you should let other peopletell you they're fun. andrew: and an athlete. allison: and a basket case. claire: a princess.
bender: and a criminal. brian: does that answer your question? sincerely yours, the breakfast club. you're missing the ending. sorry. (rock music stops) it's good. i'm surethe beginning is... the white girl is back. and i'm out.
always a pleasure, kimmy jin. so... excuse me. excuse me. bellas: (singing) love to hear it turn it around, turn it around, turn it around (panting) i should have taken that cardio tip more seriously. how much have you done? you just saw it. chloe, you gotta beable to hit that last note.
i can't. it's impossible. and it's because of my, my nodes. her nodes. her nodes. well, if you can't do it, then someone else needs to solo. i think beca shouldtake my solo. yeah, beca would be excellent. but also, someone else might be equally as excellent. it's true. and they might be shy
and not wanna come forward and say they wanted a solo. well, beca doesn't want a solo, so... i would be happy to do it if i got to pick a new song and do an arrangement. well, that's not how we run things here. aubrey, maybe beca hasa point. maybe we couldtry something new. a-ca-scuse me? you can sing turn the beat around and that's the last i wanna hear of this. that song is tired. we're not gonna win with it.
if we pull samples from different genres and layer them together, we could make some... okay, let me explain something to you because you still don't seem to get it. our goal is to get back to the finals and these songs will get us there. so, excuse me if i don't take advice from some alt-girl with her mad lib beats, because she's never even been in competition. have i made myself clear? crystal. i won't solo. fine.
fat amy? yes, sir? you'll solo. (exclaims happily) yes! yes. (singers vocalizing) (singing) look inside welcome, ladies and gentlemen. the 2012 southeastern regional competition has officially begun.

we need to put ourselves out there, be different. beca's right. the trebles never sing the same song twice. the audience love the trebles, they tolerate us. we could change theface of a cappella if we... oh, my god, that sounded so queerballs. what's happening to me? let me show you this arrangement i've been working on. chloe: i didn't know you were into this stuff. okay, i have the pitch pipe, and i say that we focus on the set list as planned. from now on, there will be no more wasting time with work

(humming) you've got yourself a little something there.
just leave it. it fuels my hate fire. chloe: (singing) i hopped off the plane at lax with a dream and my cardigan welcome to the land of fame excess am i gonna fit in? i jumped in the cab here i am for the first time look to my right and i see the hollywood sign this is all so crazy everybody seems so famous my tummy's turnin' and i'm feelin' kinda homesick too much pressure and i'm nervous
that's when the taxi man turned on the radio and the jay-z song was on and the jay-z song was on and the jay-z song was on so i put my hands up they're playin' my song the butterflies fly away i'm noddin' my head like, "yeah!" movin' my hips like, "yeah!" got my hands up, they're playin' my song you know i'm gonna be okay yeah! it's a party in the usa!
yeah! it's a... it's... (engine sputtering) oh. what the hell? um... it's pretty cool, actually. i think we're just running out of gas. no, that can't be. you just filled the tank. yeah, i did. and, yet, maybe i didn't, because i got hit by flying mexican food.
(engine stops) amy: and we're out. a-ca-believe it. amy: man, what are we gonna do? maybe we could call... no, don't even say it, chloe. how dare you? oh, no, actually that isa really good idea. i'vegot bumper's number. why do you have bumper's number? uh...
uh... so, bellas, what boring, estrogen-filled set have you prepared for us this evening? amy: excuse me? but you guys are gonna get pitch-slapped so hard your man boobs are gonna concave. nine miles, guys. (beatboxing quietly) that's pretty good.
i set fires to feel joy. that's adorable. (singing) my baby's always dancin' and it wouldn't be a bad thing but i don't get no loving and that's no lie we spent the night in frisco at every kind of disco five minutes, bellas. where did he come from?
shh! it's over. there's no way we can beat the footnotes and the trebles. don't blame it on the good times blame it on the boogie don't blame it on the sunshine don't blame it on the moonlight i just can't i just can't i just can't control my feet so blame it on the boogie whoo! that little peanut can sing. he really can. it sounds to me, though, gail, like his boys haven't dropped yet,
if you know what i mean. if you mean his testicles, then i do, john. i do. i really do. aubrey: a-ca-huddle, now. the top two teams go tothe finals, so we justhave to beat one of them. and if we do it exactly how we rehearsed it, we will get there, okay? exactly. stacie: on three or after three? screw it. let's just do it. put your hands together for the barden bellas! john: okay, the bellas are coming out.
another step in this competition and... one, two, three, four... john: here we go again. gail: looks like they're sticking with what they know. i got a new life you would hardly recognize me, i'm so glad why do i bother when you're not the one for me? is enough, enough? this time, baby
i'll be bulletproof this time, maybe i'll be bulletproof bulletproof i saw the sign john: a little tension on the stage tonight. gail: claws are out. this is just friendly collegiate fun. it's a tough competition, but we're all here to have a good time.
that's right, john. but a mistake can haunt you for the rest of your life and affect your children. what the hell, beca? were you trying to screw us up? newsflash. this isn't the beca show. okay, i'm sorry that i messed you up, but in case you hadn't noticed, everybody pretty much dozed off during our set. it's not your job to decide what we do and when we do it. why don't you ask the rest of the group how they felt about your little improvisation? amy?
it was cool. but it did take us a little bit by surprise. yeah, a lot by surprise. a little. i told you she wasn't a bella. aubrey, don't. no, that's okay. you don't have to pretend you're allowed to have a say in the group, right? your attitude sucks. you're a grade-a pain in my ass, and i know you're hooking up with jesse.
whoa. whoa. aubrey, calm down. we're not hooking up, i swear. jesus christ! that's perfect. of course you're here right now. i don't need your help,okay? can you back off? benji: trebles.time to bring the pain. if this is what i get for trying... benji: beca? beca, wait. aubrey, it actually went really well. chloe, stop! excuse me.
oh, my god. okay. beca? beca, wait. john: and the treblemakers seal the deal tonight. gail: unfortunately, barden's other group, the bellas, do not advance, and senior aubrey posen loses her chance to redeem herself from last year's pukegate. (knocking) kimmy: happy spring break. thanks. (inaudible)
brian: (on laptop) in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. but what we found out is that each one of us is a brain. (gasps) andrew: and an athlete. allison: and a basket case. claire: a princess. bender: and a criminal. (sobbing) brian: does that answer your question?
sincerely yours, the breakfast club. (rock music playing) oh, my god. okay. we are from the collegiate a cappella association. it has come to our attention that you are not in college. is this your mother? (clears throat) (electronic music playing) (cell phone rings)
this is aubrey posen. yes, thank you, sir. i look forward to seeing you again at lincoln center. (cell phone chimes) (mouthing) (all laughing) aubrey? (cell phone chimes) i'm all in, bitches.
okay. the a-ca-gods have looked down on us and they have given us a second chance. i texted beca. you did what? she makes us better. that's not an opinion for you to have, chloe. why? becauseit's not yours? you're not always right, you know. we will win without her. jesse, i know you're in there. i can smell popcorn.
(movie playing on headphones) jesse, come on. open up. hey. i tried to callyou. i left you a bunchof messages. yeah, i got them. i'm sorry that we fought. i was mad and i overreactedand i'm just... aubrey makes me crazy. seriously? you think i'm mad because you yelled at me?
no, i know... no, you don't. you think you know, but you don't. you push away anyone who could possibly care about you. why is that? i don't know. well, you better figure it out because i'm done with... whatever this is. jesse... i'm done. (sighs)
women. okay, stop. what is happening to us? chloe, you sound like you smoke three packs a day. stacie, you are so behind on choreography. and jessica and ashley, it is like you haven't been here all year long. aubrey, really? we've literally been here the whole time. aubrey, please, just give us a break.
it's kind of not the same without everyone here. we need beca. maybe if aubrey loosened the reins a little bit. okay, shut it, chloe! whoa! oh, i'm sorry. that was rude. chloe, could you please get your head out of your ass? it's not a hat. (huffs) a-ca-awkward.
again. (doorbell rings) no one was more surprised than me, but i really liked those girls. and you thought quitting was the answer? seriously? you can say that to me? oh, come on, bec, that's so unfair. look, your mom and i, we didn't work. but i tried so hardto make thingsright between us. but you, you just shut me out.
yeah, well, i shut everybody out. don't take it personally. it's just easier. it's also really lonely. (chuckles softly) what do i do? well, that's up to you. trebles, listen up! if this is about the bellas getting into the finals, we already know. i don't give a crap about those dumb bitches.
because i'm being brought up to the musical big leagues. what are you talking about? john mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his (sing-song) new cd. i leave for los angeles in a few hours, so i gotta get going. but bumper, whatabout the iccas?they're this weekend. hmm. sorry, buddies, but i won that shit like 100 times, so i'm out of here. got a collarless leather jacket to buy. maybe some aviators. i might get an earring,i don't know.
it's los angeles.this is exciting stuff.my life rules! bumper's a jerk. all right, i said it. well, he's a jerk that we need to replace. donald: pronto dente. you know he writes his own fan mail. spot opened up, and it's yours if you want it. just one condition. promise me you won't get all weird. we're just a group of guys singing a bunch of covers of songs, okay? if you get weird, they will definitely not let you stay.
deal. although i don't know what you mean by weird. i have been there for you for so many years, and all you do is treat me like... all right, no, okay, just shut up! everyone! come on, i joined this group so i could hang out with a bunch of really cool chicks. and also 'cause i was really sick of all my boyfriends and i need to get away from that. but this is some serious horseshit. what's that smell? stinks everywhere. i don't wanna be like the old bellas.
yeah, i wanna be how we are now. (quietly) me, too. we should have listened to beca. oh, so it's my fault? that's not what i'm saying. no, no, no, that's what you're all thinking, isn't it? that i'm the jerk. i am the girl obsessed with winning. aubrey, you're too controlling and it's gonna ruin all of us. you know what, i can lose control if i want to.
i can let go. this time i'm not gonna choke it down. hmm? (aubrey gagging) (bellas scream) come on, bring it! you can do better than that! that's all you got? enough! enough! we could have been champions! give me the pitch pipe, you bitch!
give it to me! (all screaming) give it to me! give it to me! never! i'll protect you. i'll protect you. hands off the goodies! (blows whistle) move, you bitches! guys!
guys, stop! what is going on? nothing. nothing. this is a bellas rehearsal. i know. i just wanted to saythat i'm sorry. what i did was a really dick move and i shouldn't havechanged the set withoutasking you guys. and i definitely shouldn't have left. i let you guys down and i'm really sorry. and...
aubrey, if you would have me, i want back in. (drags chair noisily) (whispering) aubrey. wait. thank you. that would have been embarrassing. beca, i know that i've been hard on you, okay? i know that i have been hard on everyone here. but i am my father's daughter. (voice breaking) and he always said, "if at first you don't succeed,
"pack your bags." jesus. that's really crazy. i get it. mine gets on me, too. not like that, but... i guess we don't really know that much about each other. about most of you, really. well, i'll confess something that none of you know about me. (inhales and exhales deeply)
i have a lot of sex. yeah, we know, stacie. only 'cause i just told you. this is a good idea. that was a pretty bad example, but this is a good idea. why don't we all goaround the room, and we can all say something about ourselves that nobody else knows. okay, i got something. this is hard for me to admit to you guys.
i think we all know where this is going. let's be honest. well, for the last two years, i've had a serious gambling problem. it started when i broke up with my girlfriend. (singing) whoomp! there it is (mouthing) i still love you. beca: anyone else? (quietly) i ate my twin in the womb. fat amy?
i'm an open book. i mean, for god's sake, you guys all call me fat amy. see, i guess i'm just not really living if i'm not being 100% honest. and my real name is fat patricia. woman: what? okay. i've never been one of those girls who had a lot of friends who were girls. and i do now. and that's pretty cool. so, that's me. someone else please go.
over spring break, i made the courageous decision to remove my nodes. (gasps) i know. the doctor said that i can't sing above a g-sharp, maybe ever. (sobbing) i thought the season was over. it's okay. it's okay. beca, what do we do? maybe not here. all right. let's remix this business.
aubrey, would youpick a song for us, please? bruno mars, just the way you are. okay. chloe, are you okay to take the lead? (singing) oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin' her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying she's so beautiful and i tell her every day i was thinking 'bout her, thinkin' 'bout me thinkin' 'bout us, what we gonna be
opened my eyes, it was only just a dream she don't see what i see but every time she asks me, "do i look okay?" it was only just a dream when i see your face so i traveled back down that road will she come back? no one knows i realize it was only just a dream there's not a thing that i would change
'cause you're amazing just the way you are it was only just a dream when i see your face so i traveled back down that road will she come back? no one knows i realize it was only just a dream there's not a thing that i would change just the way you are
it was only just a dream face hands in. (all singing together) (singing low note) what was that? i don't know, i've never made that sound before. yo, but with your messed up vocal cords, you could hit the bass notes. do you know what that means?
yes, lilly? i think i have something that can help us out. excuse me, bitch, you don't need to shout. okay, don't get mouthy. (singers vocalizing suspenseful music) (performing vocal warm-up) ah! john: welcome to the finals of the 2012 international championship of collegiate a cappella.
