Ha ha!
Rockin' Rudy!
Comin' through!
Hoo-hoo-hoo!
(snorts)
Rockin' Rudy,
you better pump those brakes!
Ha ha ha!
(growls)
Oh, oh, we're playing chicken?
Well, joke's on you,
'cause I am a duck!
Ha ha!
You will never catch me,
I'm the craziest cat
in Canarsie!
Rockin' Rudy
is rollin' out! ♪
- Ugh! He's vapor.
- (grunts)
We'll nab him next time.
(squeals)
Oh, I've got Shabbat Dinner
with Casey's dads
in three minutes!
Of course,
I'll save you some challah!
(grunts)
- Thanks for the ride, D!
- (grunts)
(elevator dings)
(elevator dings)
Shabbat Shalom!
ANTONIO: Comemos!
Dig in, bubelehs!
Mmm! What is this dish called?
Asopao de Brisket.
Puerto Rican-Jewish fusion.
- It's me, as a dish!
- (giggles)
Speaking of you,
are you so excited for
your Bat Mitzvah--
i.e. the religious
coming-of-age ceremony
for 13-year-old Jewish girls?
I did my homework.
You're exactly right, Lu.
And lemme tell you, our Casey
face is doing a fantastic job
learning the Hebrew she has to
sing for the ceremony.
- I'm kvelling.
- Wepa!
All those years
of Karaoke training
are payin' off, right, mija?
ISAAC: Oy, don't tell me
you're looking at
pictures of the Triplets'
B'not Mitzvah?
Ay, otra vez?
Wait, who are The Triplets?
(all groan)
My rich, smug,
carbon-copy cousins.
Lara, Laura, and Laurel.
They had their
Bat Mitzvah last month.
Made-to-order gelato,
prototype VR games,
kangaroo petting zoo,
alucinante swag bags
And worst of all,
my social-media idol,
Odessa Drake, posted that
she heard the party was, quote,
"off the gold chain!"
Odessa's the most
influential influencer
who has ever influenced!
If she types one word
about your party,
- it's a smash hit.
- (sighs)
LUNELLA:
Casey, Casey, Casey.
Girl, what are you
worried about?
You could throw
the party of the year
with three dollars
and a jar of pickles.
Actually, she already did.
Her sixth birthday.
It was featured in
the style section.
Thanks, Lu. But this'll be
less of a party
and more of
a private bagel reception.
Who doesn't love bagels?
And if I know you,
you got this on "lox."
(nervous chuckle)
You know what
this moment calls for?
Claro que si.
The wedding photo.
Aww! So beautiful!
ISAAC: It was just us,
our inner circle,
and an impromptu take-over
of the Sheep's Meadow
in Central Park.
ANTONIO:
It was simple, sure,
but when we looked around
at all of those faces
ISAAC:
The faces of our chosen family,
ANTONIO: We realized we had
everything we needed.
Because we got to share that
day with the people we love.
BOTH: It was perfect.
Thanks, Dads.
I really needed that.
And who knows? Maybe
the Triplets won't even come!
The Triplets are coming.
Well good!
'Cause this chocolate fountain
is gonna knock their
cashmere socks off
at your bagel reception!
(gasps, grunts)
Ahh!
- (squelching)
- Oh, jeez.
I may have juiced up
the impeller too much.
- (groans)
- Hey, you okay?
It's not that I want
a highly-publicized
star-studded red carpet event
that goes down as the best
Bat Mitzvah in Jewish history,
it's just that
yes I do! It's my dream.
Is that terrible?
Am I the worst?
Oh, no, no, you're the best.
And if that's what you want,
then that is what you'll get.
What's that Casey?!
Oh! You said
there's gonna be
celebrities at
your bat mitzvah?!
No way!
Wha-- yes?
- What are you talking about?
- I got you, Case!
That's amazing!
I can't believe Moon Girl
and Devil Dinosaur are coming!
And that everyone
in this room is invited!
(cheering)

- Whoo!
- Yes!
(chomps, munches)
- (whimpers)
- Ah, too fluffy?
Okay, let's try the balls
from 2nd Avenue.
Bar'chu et Adonai Ham'vorach
(phone chimes)
Ugh, it's probably
my dad reminding me
to write my Bat Mitzvah speech.
Great-Matzoh-Balls-of-Fire!
Whoa! What is it, girl?
(gasps) Odessa Drake
just DM'd me!
She heard about
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
- and she wants to come!
- (squeals) That's huge!
(laughs) I can't wait to see
the look on the Triplets' faces.
Odessa only posted
about their party
but she's gonna be at mine!
Oh, this never would have
happened without Moon Girl, Lu!
I gotchu, Case!
As long as I still get to come
to the ceremony as me,
and not Moon Girl.
You couldn't pay me
to miss that!
Uh, duh!
This is gonna be
BOTH: épico!

Ahh! A Bat Mitzvah morning.
The sun is shining.
New York is alive.
- (tires squeal)
- (cars honk)
Ah, like music, baby. Gershwin.
Ah, Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Ryda!
And a million thanks for letting
Casey do this--
not entirely traditional--
bat mitzvah red carpet.
As long as you're in
the sanctuary at Call Time,
I don't care
what you do out here.
Plus, I like Moon Girl.
She's a real supermensch.
(gasps) Speaking of
Give it up for
the Woman of the Hour
(sing-song) Casey!
I got my pretty,
pretty girl swag on ♪
Hair done, nails done,
make it last long ♪
Bad attitude but
I make it fashion ♪

What an entrance, mijita .
- She got that from me.
- Oh!
- So you must be Casey's dads!
- Moon Girl!
Color me starstruck!
Casey's really come alive
since you started
working together.
(chuckles)
Our collab was beshert.
And she speaks Yiddish!
This one's a keeper!
Love the red!
- You match my shoes.
- (Devil Dinosaur grunts)
(tires squeal)
(dramatic music)
The Triplets are coming.
The Triplets are coming!
- (panting)
- Hey, hey. Deep breaths.
You got this.
I can't wait till they see
(hip hop beat)
Odessa!
(cheering)
(gasps) Odessa,
it is such an honor!
Casey!
Major gratitude for having me,
this is gonna be sick!
And girl, that dress
(grunts)
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur!
(grunts)
Hey everyone, Odessa here at
Casey Goldberg-Calderon's
epic Bat Mitzvah--
with my favorite superheroes,
MG and Big D in the house!
Now do me a super sweet solid
and click Like and Subscribe!
- (sighs) I can't feel my face.
- (giggles)
So MG-- can I call you MG?
I'm just gonna do it!
Did you bring your
Bubble Blaster?
I am obsessed
with the Bubble Blaster.
(chuckles) Are electrons
subatomic particles?
Um yeah, they are.
I-- I keep all my gadgets
in my pack.
It would be absolutely iconic
if you did, like, a
demonstration for the crowd.
Oh, but-- it's your party,
Casey. Totally up to you.
That would be iconic!
But it's up to MG.
Casey, you know I got you!
Make some noise for the Bat
Mitzvah Girl!
- Dang.
- Impressive.
Whoa.
(gasps) My phone
is blowing up!
People are saying this is
the coolest event of the year!
It's a good feeling, right?
Every day is Christmas
when you're famous.
- Hanukkah.
- Uh-huh. Sure.
Yo. No time like today
Let's get it ♪

(cheering)
You liking this,
Goldberg-Calderon?
Case?
Coming at you live
from Temple,
I'm Casey,
and you are lucky
that you get to witness
the coolest Bat Mitzvah bash
in NYC history!
- (exclaims)
- LUNELLA: Yo, Case!
Yo! Let us try
the Glitter-Slinger!
Dude, leave her alone.
That thing is not a toy.
Oh, come on, MG!
Do the poor boy
a super sweet solid!
Yeah! Please?!
I-- (sighs) I don't know.
Go for it, champ.
- Gotcha!
- Hey!
(groans) This is gonna be
everywhere forever!
So, the Triplets
are pinching themselves,
Odessa's got your
fame game covered.
Legendary party status achieved.
(chuckles)
Dream fulfilled, right?
Earth to Casey?
That glitter shot
blew up faster
than your chocolate fountain!
Heh. Yeah, so, whaddya say
we wrap this thing up
and I can go change?
Casey! Family photo
before we go inside.
Wait, where's Lunella?
Ah, perfect timing.
I'll do a quick change
in the photo booth
and get into my dress,
okay, Case?
Commence phase two.
Casey, let's grab
a pic of your fam for my feed!
No lo puedo creer!
A bucket list moment.
Okay, um, uh, Moon Girl,
can you take a picture of her
taking a picture of us?!
Oh, uh--
(sad music playing)
Okay, people, love the energy,
but we have some Torah to read,
so let's save the schmoozing
for the bagel reception,
a'ight?
Wasn't that incredible?!
Case you know, I think
it's time for me to tap out.
Oh, just five more minutes.
Thanks to you,
this party is, like, next level.
You're not listening.
I'm telling you I'm done.
And I really don't want to
be late for the service.
Oh, sure, of course.
Hey, maybe Moon Girl should
stay out here
while you do your thing inside!
That would cement this as
the event of the season.
Even better than
the haunted house quinceañera
where they hired a real ghost!
I've done case studies
of that party!
Listen, truth be told,
the ceremony is actually
super boring,
- so would ya mind--
- Okay! We gotta talk.
Case, what's your problem?
Ahh! Your foot's on my dress!
See! You even care more about
your precious dress
than this conversation!
Why are you so mad?!
Aren't you happy for me?
And this whole thing
was your idea!
And a brilliant one,
I might add.
That was before I knew you were
gonna turn into a Bat-Zilla!
- (gasps)
- (shutter clicks)
Is that what you
really think of me?
I definitely know
what you think of me
after that red carpet.
Not as your best friend,
that's for sure.
Is this about
the Glitter Slinger?
It's about all of it!
(sighs) But I guess
you care more about
throwing the party
of the century
than being my best friend.
- I--
- ISAAC: Casey, it's go-time!
(sad music playing)
- (shutter clicks)
- Wait!
(gulps)
(gasps)
Come on, D.
- (grunts)
- Show's over.
(groans)
I just need to grab my backpack.
(sighs) Where'd it get to, anyways?
(whirring)
(gasps) Hey!
(gasps) Odessa Drake's
a bad influencer!
BEYONDER: This heiress
caught everyone unaw-eiress.
Odessa was born into a life of
glam and scam as the daughter
of the head of New York's
elite Thieves Guild!
Her jam? Stealing
superhero gear and fencing it
to fund her social life.
Unfollow this villain!
Ay! Ayo! You stole my stuff
and my best friend!
(laughs) I told you--
(laughs)
I'm your biggest fan!
(grunting)
(roars)
You don't wanna
mess with me, MG!
(gasps)
(laughs)
Guard this door, D!
do not let her slip out!
(grunts)
Good Shabbos. Good Shabbos.
Good Shabbos, love the hair.
Casey, sweetheart,
you all right?
I haven't seen Lunella,
have you?
(sniffles)
(whirring)
(sighs) Now where did she--?
Ahh!
You betrayed Casey
just to take my tech?!
Yup! But you can have this back.
I don't even know
what this does.
Well, it does this--
(shushing)
Sheket bevakasha!
- (both) Hey!
- No playing music in temple!
Not on Shabbos!
Aw, my apologies.
Seriously, no disrespect.
I just work better
with a soundtrack.
- We can split?
- Cool.

I crumpled up
my speech because
my heart just wasn't in it.
I had completely spaced
on the point of today.
I am so honored you're
all here to celebrate with me.
I was wrong to care more about
what happened outside
than what happened in here,
with the people in this room.
And honestly, this room feels
empty without my whole family.
I owe so much to my dads,
but also to my chosen family
especially my best friend.
Hey! Altz iz gut! ♪
(grunts)
- Odessa?! You-- you're--?
- Bad? You know it.
Uh, you coulda just used
the bubble blaster--
It was symbolic!
Ugh you ungrateful
follower!
Don't you know I can ruin you?
- (laughs)
- (gasps)
Let me go with the gadgets
and this party will go down
as the stuff
legends are made of.
Otherwise,
I post the scathing review
I just typed behind my back.
Spoiler alert:
worst bat mitzvah in history!
- Go for it.
- (gasps)
As the Talmud says
"Any press is good press."
We'll take that.
Thank you. (stammers) But why?
'Cause this was
The kookiest--
And coolest--
ALL:
Best Bat Mitzvah ever.
I can't believe you did that.
What about your dream?
My, uh, my dream just
needed some re-engineering.
(chuckles)
I'll stick Odessa-hot-messa
in the coat room
'til we decide what
to do with her.
Wait! On your way out,
could you possibly
find my friend Lunella?
I need to tell her something.
Tell her what?
That I'm really, really sorry.
For losing sight of what
actually matters.
And for hurting her feelings.
I bet she'd forgive you.
She's probably sorry
for stoking the flame.
And I bet she's extra sorry
for missing your
big moment up there.
Hey, Casey?
Speaking of your "big moment,"
do you think we could, uh, maybe
get back to that?
Oh, yeah. Sorry, Rabbi.
Oh, and Moon Girl?
Could you also tell Lunella that
I wanna do
my Torah portion over again?
There's a seat waiting for her.
Absolutely.
Baruch Atah Adonai,
no-tein ha- Torah.
Amen!
ALL: Mazel tov!
Now who's ready for
a bomb bespoke bagel
and nosh buffet?
(slurps, grunts)
I can fix this.
(energetic music playing)
(traditional Jewish
music playing)
(laughs)
ALL: Mazel tov!
(Casey laughs)
Oh, speaking of laughter,
did you ever let Odessa
out of the coat room?
No, did not.
She's still in there.
But don't worry.
I made a few calls.
(grunts)
("Avengers" theme music playing)
Is this about me
borrowing your stuff?
(nervous chuckle)
Let's take a chill pill, okay?
I can explain.
I was gonna give it back.
(nervous chuckle)
