1. Premise<br />Follow us behind the scenes for the debut of the new physics-themed boy band P.ROF: The Professors of the Stage.

Following the cancellation of our favorite soap operas, many of the new afterschool programs that took their place thrived on these band’s celebrity and pretty faces. BUT today we bring to you a behind-the-scenes look at the formation of the first and only physics-themed band. Relying on more than just their dance skills and singing ability, these kids are bringing talent back. Let’s watch as they were first introduced to the world.<br />Gaby: Good afternoon everyone. This is Gaby’s Fortunes. Today we have a very special guest. Please welcome the new rookie group P.ROF to the stage. (Slideshow: applause. Band members enter and do a pose.) <br />Albert: We’re a new physics-themed band. I’m Albert Einstein, the oldest member and head of the group.<br />Max: The name’s James Maxwell, but call me Max. I’m the lead dancer.<br />Big T: My name’s Nikola Tesla. People know me as Big T. I’m the rapper.<br />Newton: I’m Isaac Newton. The youngest and cutest member of the group.<br />Albert: And together we’re…<br />Everyone: P.Rof: School’s in Session.<br />Gaby: (claps) Good, but I hear one of you is already a little famous. Max, isn’t your sister a famous musician?<br />Max: Yeah, she’s Maria.<br />Gaby: The one and only Beautiful Goddess Maria. She’s actually on set here today filming her new hit movie. You must have gotten your singing talent from her, but first give us a demonstration.<br />(Play dance music. Put Your Hands Up. Put-Put Your Hands Up! While the guys are putting their hands up, Albert lights his hands on fire.)<br />[Fire Hands Demo]<br />Gaby: Now, we’ve reached the point in the show that I, Gaby, will try to divine the answers to our guests’ question. What answer do you guys seek?<br />Albert: We’re still a new group. So how would we get more fans and become popular?<br />Gaby: In order to get more fans, I see that you need to show them your charms and demonstrate your scientific knowledge. Let me teach you a cool trick to show your fans when the stage lights are getting hot.<br />[Dry Ice Bubbles Demo]<br />Gaby: Stay with us because after the break, we’re going to get personal with the boys and learn all about their favorite types of girls.<br />Scene 2: Backstage<br />(Enter all the guys.)<br />Big T: That was so awkward!! It’s like when my grandma always asks “Have a girlfriend yet? Your grandfather was quite the charmer at your age.” And I’m always like “Nothing’s changed since you asked a month ago.”<br />(Enter Marie Curie Aka Beautiful Goddess Maria and her posse of back-up dancers. She’s not happy.)<br />Maria: You guys think you’re all that, huh? They’re calling you the physics band. Back in my day, you needed a little more than that to make a name for yourself. Can you back it up or are you just a cheap gimmick?<br />Albert: If it’s a battle of the bands you want, let’s break it down! (Slideshow: P.ROF vs Maria. FIGHT!)<br />Maria: You cutie boys think you’re so tough, but all you can sing about is how beautiful your fans are. Let’s do this for real. A Physics Battle!!<br />(Enter the Announcer.)<br />Announcer: Yo, baby. I love it. I love it. Right after their debut and already the Beautiful Goddess Maria challenges them to a Physics Battle. Think of the publicity. The Ratings. The Action! But this little scuffle right now won’t stand. We need to advertise. Sell tickets. My people will get in touch with your people. But get ready because next week there’s going to be action, baby!<br />Maria: This isn’t over. Back-up dancers, come.<br />(The Announcer and Maria leave but one of her back-up dancers stays behind.)<br />Back-Up Dancer: Maria told me to give you this (hands them paper). It’s her work phone number. The Networks can be tough on rookies. You may need it.<br />(She leaves.)<br />Big T: What was that about?<br />Scene 3: Fan Club Meeting<br />(Enter Fan Club President, Back-Up Dancers/Fans)<br />FCP: Welcome back to our weekly fan club meeting. What’s the status update on our food drive?<br />Fan 1: We’ve currently raised 100 lbs. of canned food to donate to charity on the behalf of P.Rof.<br />FCP: Keep it up and try to get the other chapters involved too. The next item on the agenda is a special presentation of the Tesla Coil that I wanted to record and sent to Big T. He needs to learn about his namesake.<br />[Tesla Coil Demo]<br />Scene 4: Games With Gina<br />(Enter Gaby/Gina, Max, and Newton.)<br />Gina: You’re watching Games with Gina with me Gina and today we have a very special playmate P.ROF.<br />Max: There is never a boring second with me Max.<br />Newton: And this is Newton who went from a boy to a professor.<br />Altogether: Don’t change the channel.<br />Max: Aren’t you Gaby, the fortuneteller?<br />Gina: I get that a lot. <br />Newton: Let’s look at today’s first mission. Oh, we have a special surprise for our beautiful viewers who get lovelier and lovelier by the day.<br />Max: Wait! Stop us. We’re getting…uncontrollably awesome!!<br />Newton: Our special game today is playing with Liquid Nitrogen. Don’t try this at home.<br />[Liquid Nitrogen Demo]<br />Gina: We’re going on a short break so gather up your friends because after the break the boys will be performing the Lab Safety Song.<br />Scene 5: P.Rof’s Apartment<br />(Enter Big T and Albert.)<br />Big T: We’re totally going to beat her. She won’t even see what’s coming with this new device I’ve put together.<br />Albert: Wait till the fans see this on youtube. (Pulls out camera.)<br />[Potato Cannon Demo]<br />Big T: With what we’ve prepared, there’s no way she can win.<br />(The rest of the guys enter.)<br />Big T: Well while you guys have been having fun and games, we’re ready for the big competition. (Brandishes the potato cannon.)<br />Max: I think you guys are underestimating her.<br />(Enter Maria.)<br />Maria: I saw your little peashooter online. If that’s the best you can do, you’re in for a rude awakening. <br />Albert: You! How did you get here?<br />Maria: I called Mom for Max’s new address. But let me show you a little of what we can do. Dancers!<br />(The back-up dancers bring in the Bed of Nails and Maria leaves.)<br />Back-Up Dancer:<br />Are you smart enough to figure out the Bed of Nails or are you too chicken to try?!<br />[Bed of Nails Demo]<br />Max: I was trying to tell you guys. She’s good. She taught me all I know. Her agency tries to make her seem innocent and pure, but there’s an entire side to her beyond that. She’s just never gotten the chance to show it or her true talent. You guys don’t know what we’re up against. We have no chance. She’s too good.<br />Scene 6: Backstage<br />(Enter Maria and b.)<br />Maria: Thanks for the vocal lessons, but I keep feeling sorry for my younger brother’s band. They are totally out of their league. They should have practiced more before their debut.<br />B: Hey, we were all rookies at one time.<br />Maria: But there’s no way they can beat this. (Lights oil drum.)<br />B: Actually, I’ve had to learn a little about this stuff too. Back when I still was doing concert tours, I had to work with the special effects team on building fireworks that were just the right color. Let me show you.<br />[Fire Salts Demo]<br />(Enter Max.)<br />Max: Maria, do you have to do this? I know you’re pissed but you don’t need to take it out on us.<br />Maria: Huh? Oh, I wasn’t that angry at you guys. You have to overact for the camera sometimes. No, Max, this is my big break. For the first time, I get to show my skills to the public. My publicist has been busy all week. If this goes well, it’ll be my first chance to take my image in my own hands and do what I want to do. I get to reinvent and rebrand myself so that I’m no longer Beautiful Maria and instead (donning lab coat) will be known as the Singing Scientist Marie Curie.<br />Max: So you’re set on this?<br />Maria: Yes, and do your best too. I’ve been following you guys. They call you the preschool princes. This is your chance to broaden your fanbase. Together, we’re starting a new genre of music.<br />Scene 7: The Concert Hall<br />Announcer: Ladies and Gents! Today is the day you’ve all been waiting for: the battle between the Singer Scientist Marie Curie and P.ROF: The Professors of the Stage. Not only is this going to be a battle of science, but a battle of siblings between P.ROF’s Max and his older sister Marie. May the best team win!<br />[Fire Flour Demo]<br />Max: Can you beat that?<br />Maria: Good try, but it is nothing against the Oil Drum Implosion!!!!<br />[Oil Drum Demo]<br />Announcer: The results are coming in, but I think the verdict is clear: Marie Wins!! And what ACTION! I think the fans want to turn this into a weekly event, but first let’s congratulate everyone for their hard work.<br />
