O Say, Can You Remember the Words?

Episode Number: 10    Season Num: 1    First Aired: Friday June 30, 2006    Prod Code: 113
Frustrated by Oliver's stage fright, Miley vents to her dad that she doesn't want to help him with their upcoming drama class performance anymore, which a dismayed Oliver accidentally overhears. Miley gets a taste of what Oliver goes through, when Hannah Montana forgets the words to the National Anthem while singing at a televised Laker's game. Jackson's boss pays him to get rid of sugar addict Rico's candy stash after a bad trip to the dentist. He manages to get Rico off the goodies, but Jackson becomes even more addicted to sweets than Rico.

Notes

add »
When Hannah was performing "Who Said" on Top Rockers, she mixed up the words. She said "won't be Superman" and "can't be president", instead of "can't be Superman" and "won't be president". (edit)
In the flashback where Oliver first got stage fright, he does his first fruitfly joke. He was Abraham Lincoln and called himself Abraham Fruitfly. (edit)
Lindsey Stoddart (Announcer) was in a previous episode of Hannah Montana, "She's a Supersneak," as Margo Diamond, the real estate woman Robbie was dating. (edit)
Oliver is not a very good actor. (edit)
Miley had never had stage fright until she messed up the National Anthem. (edit)

(Oliver is taking forever to "die". The bell rings, and the whole class runs out)

Robbie: "Romeo and Juliet". I had to do a scene from that in speech class.
Miley: And you did just well, right?
Robbie: Nope. Actually, it was the darkest day of my life. Got throught the first two words and then froze up like aunt Pearl in the outhouse on Christmas morning.
Miley: But it ended well.
Robbie: Only because I started cracking jokes. "What light through yonder window breaks wind". That one killed 'em! (edit)
Chocolate Bunny: I love you Jackson!
(Jackson looks at the bunny.)
Bunny: Thats right I'm talking to you, Big Boy!
Jackson: (starts chewing a carrot in a scared kind of way.) YOUR NOT REAL, YOUR NOT REAL!
(He looks at where the bunny was and it was just a pillow.)
Jackson: Whew!
Other Bunny on other side: Can I have a bite of that? Big Boy!
(Jackson looks at the bunny in fear and throws the carrot to the bunny and runs up the stairs.) (edit)
