Best Friends Whenever (2015) s01e15 Episode Script

1 Man, this thing is heavy.
I know.
My arms are shaking.
What are you guys talking about? I'm only using one hand.
I'm not using any hands.
What's in this thing, anyway? All the souvenirs my grandma sent me over the years from her travels and adventures.
She's gonna be here in two hours, so I want to put all of this stuff out.
This stuff is awesome.
Why haven't you gotten it out before? Whoa! This is a spear! Gotta throw it! That's why.
Look at all this.
Your grandma's led an incredible life.
Yup, she and Grandpa traveled the world together and even after he passed away, it didn't slow her down.
But the truth is, I don't really know her.
All right, I made some room in the garage for Grandma to park her chopper.
Whoa, your grandma rides a chopper? Yep, it's a V-twin with a jockey shift, 395 rear tire, ape hanger handlebars and no, Cyd, you cannot ride it.
Grandma sounds pretty wild.
Oh, yeah.
She's a real bold spirit.
No one can tell her what to do.
She can also say some pretty crazy things.
Like how back in the '50s, time-traveling teenage girls came to her high school graduation party.
She says if it weren't for those girls, she wouldn't have gotten together with Grandpa Paul.
What? That's unbelievable! Yes, Barry.
That's why I never believed it.
Did you hear that? Two teenage time travelers set up my grandparents.
I mean, that's gotta be us.
But that doesn't make any sense.
We haven't done that.
It's a complicated time travel paradox.
See, in your grandmother's past, it's already happened.
But in your lifetime, it hasn't happened yet.
So you need to go do it.
If you don't, your grandparents don't get together, your mother becomes a different person, so you turn into a different person.
If you'd like a more in-depth scientific explanation of time loops, I'd be happy to provide Nope, we're good.
Let's go to the '50s! It's gonna be so cool to see my grandma as a teenager.
I can get to know her.
And we can go back and see what the house looked like when she grew up here.
Oh.
And we can set her up with Grandpa Paul.
It'll be so romantic.
You ready to go, Cyd? Yep, I'm ready to go to the brutal swashbuckling days of the roaring '50s.
You have no idea what the '50s are.
No, I do not.
I know it sounds crazy But time doesn't faze me Ever since it lost its hold on me Hey, hey Hung out till midnight Missed the curfew, that's all right I'm back to bed and right on time, you'll see Whenever You need me I'm right there with you Whenever There's something You wanna redo The clock is ticking but not for me I'm living in a different reality Whenever Whatever Wherever I'm right there with you I'm right there with you Hey, hey (Rock 'n' roll music playing) Check it out, Shelby.
We're in the '50s! These outfits we picked out are gonna blend in perfectly.
So how do we know which one's my Grandma Rita? The 1950s are so helpful.
Hi, Rita.
Hi.
Thank you for coming to my party.
I'm so glad you're here.
I was afraid you weren't gonna be able to make it.
Do I know you? Not yet, but some day I'm gonna ride your chopper against your daughter's wishes.
Here's an introduction that's not weird.
I'm Shelby.
Cool jackets.
So what are the Pinkie Rings, some kind of club? Only the niftiest club! We bake pies, we quilt, and when we really want to go wild, we hoop.
(Whistles) Man, it's so sad what people had to do to entertain themselves before video games.
Okay, let's go find your grandpa and set them up.
Oh, what's the rush? Come on.
Let's have some fun! Hoopin' with my grandma! Barry: Renaldo, we have a problem.
My parents are selling the RV.
Apparently, they need money to buy my sister Brittany new glasses.
Huh.
I didn't notice Brittany wore glasses that time I kissed her.
What? Uh, your parents are selling the RV? I know! How are we going to replicate time travel without our lab? And they already have a buyer.
He's gonna be here any minute.
(Knock on door) Not just any minute, Barry.
This minute.
Hey, guys, I'm here about the RV.
Name's Harry Vesper.
Heck of a nice day.
How's it going? I don't like this guy, Renaldo.
He seems like a real jerk.
You guys do science in here? I admire that.
A couple of young men trying to make the world better.
You see what I mean? Jerk, jerk, jerk! This is one fine recreational vehicle.
Ugh.
He even says "vehicle" like a jerk.
I am not going to lose my lab.
As much as it pains me, we're gonna need to talk bad about the RV, so he won't want it.
You don't want this disgusting smelly RV.
It belongs in the dump.
How dare you! This RV is a classic.
I'll take it.
Shuds, I just sold the RV.
Ah, darn, I'll have to come back later.
I forgot I gave all the cash I had on me to the animal shelter.
You just want to save 'em all, don't you? I have never hated anyone more.
So Annette tells us where to go.
Sandy tells us what to wear.
And Gidget tells us who to talk to.
I haven't made a decision in three years and I love it.
Wow, you are not the girl I expected to meet.
(Chuckles) Gee, Annette, that's some pretty keen double-hooping.
So keen, it's swell.
Who's that? That's Paul.
Isn't he dreamy? Grandpa Paul? Well, he was held back a year, but I wouldn't call him grandpa.
So you like him, huh? You should go talk to him.
Oh, no.
The boy has to make the first move.
He's gotta hold your books on the way to class.
Then ask your father's permission to take you out to the drive-in.
After that, he'll give you his class pin and ask you to go steady, then you get married, then you have kids, Then you talk to him.
(Chuckles) So maybe Paul will make the first move with you.
Something tells me you two belong together.
Nah, he likes Annette.
He doesn't even know I'm alive.
(Chuckles) (Lady whistles) Oh, gotta hoop! I love the '50s.
There's no such thing as healthy food.
They have Jell-O with hot dogs in it, and they call it a salad.
Cyd, we have a problem.
We're supposed to get Paul together with Rita, but he's into Annette.
And she's so keen, she's swell, which is practically nifty! I'm assuming! How's Rita gonna compete with that? Oh, no, Shelbs.
Remember what Barry said? If your grandparents never get together, then your mom becomes a different person, which makes you a different person.
I don't want to be a different person.
Don't worry.
We'll turn Rita into the niftiest swell this world's ever keen.
I think I'm using those words right.
I'm pretty sure you're not, but I like the way you're thinking.
Dig deeper, Renaldo.
Search every corner of the Internet.
I'm not selling my RV to that Harry Vesper guy.
Something's wrong with him.
I don't trust him.
Are you sure it's not just because he's buying your RV? Of course it's because he's buying my RV.
He's a fantastic guy.
That's what I'm saying, Barry.
It even says here he got out of prison for good behavior.
He was in prison? Vesper's a criminal! A well-behaved criminal.
This article says that 15 years ago, Vesper and another guy were arrested for a jewel heist, but not before his partner hid the jewels in an RV, which was never found.
Renaldo, I think this is the RV! If we can find the jewels, we could buy the RV from your parents and save the lab.
But Vesper will be back any minute.
We need time to conduct a thorough search.
Where can we hide the RV where nobody will be on a weekend? It was really cool of your sister's boyfriend to drive the RV into the school for us.
Especially, since he found out I kissed her.
What are you talking about, Renaldo? The RV's in the school.
Let's talk about that.
You know, I wasn't sure we were gonna get this thing through the loading dock.
And the gym.
And the hallway.
But we got it through with just a few scratches.
Well, let's go find those jewels.
Whoa, look what your grandma did to your room.
It's like we're inside a bunny's mouth.
It's so great that you're gonna help get Paul to notice me.
Do you really think it's gonna work? Of course.
We just have to get you to stand out from the other girls at the party.
Trust us.
As two girls who have gone on one date each, we are experts.
Show us where your clothes are.
Oh, uh, over here.
I hope I have something that'll work.
Shelby: What's all this? Rita: Oh, that's just a thing I do.
I collect pictures of places I'd love to visit.
It's not like I'm really gonna go.
I just like to think about it.
And one day when you get together with Paul, you'll go to all of those places.
And then you'll get married and have kids and amazing grandkids.
Well, one amazing grandkid and Bret and Chet.
You girls are so swell.
I don't know if I'm trusting you because I feel like we have a connection, or if it's that I'm trying to pretend like it's perfectly normal that you dragged me up to my bedroom even though you don't even know me and you're making me change clothes at my own party.
(Chuckles) We've looked everywhere and no jewels! All we've found are the unappreciated inventions of two scientific pioneers who used to use this RV as a lab.
We'd have been better off if we'd just used it for camping.
You can use this for camping? How have we never done that? Oh, remember this? The human flypaper I made when I feared an experiment would transform me into a human fly.
I remember that! You said this invention would get a lot of "buzz.
" Not now, Renaldo.
Now is a sad time.
I guess I'll just have to accept the reality that there's no way we're gonna save this RV.
I'm gonna miss every little thing about her.
The way the turn signal sticks.
The gentle hum of the engine.
The way the speaker rattles like there's a bag of jewels in it.
Barry! That's a perfect description of how it sounds when the speaker rattles! (Gasps) The jewels! Now we can buy the RV from my parents.
Hey guys, I know you're in there.
(Barry squealing) Shuds! How'd he find us? There's no way of knowing, Barry.
Renaldo left a note for the pizza guy saying where to deliver the pizza.
Also, I ate your pizza! Oh, thank goodness.
I think he's leaving.
(Squeals) You know, in the game against County, I had 15 tackles.
Which is a lot for a basketball game.
Okay.
Paul is over there and Rita is ready.
Oh, this is the moment my grandparents are gonna fall for each other.
Rita! Come on, this is your moment! Wow.
You look just like blonde Katy Perry.
(Chuckles) I look like Marilyn Monroe.
That's the blonde Katy Perry I'm talkin' about.
Hi.
Hi.
Do you want to dance? Hi.
(Chuckles) This is so beautiful.
I'm getting to see my grandparents fall in love.
And now we don't have to worry about you turning into a different person like Barry said.
Shelby! You have brown eyes! I have blue eyes.
Not anymore! Oh, hey, who's that? (Squealing) I have brown eyes! Shelbs, I think you're becoming a different person.
Why are my eyes brown? We got my grandparents together.
Why am I turning into a different person? We must have done something wrong.
But what? We have to talk to my grandmother.
And that was the eighth tackle.
He was waiting in line ahead of me at the urinal, but I counted it.
(Laughing) Excuse me, I don't wanna interrupt but Then beat it, you square.
Man, your grandpa's kind of a jerk.
But my grandfather wasn't a jerk.
I don't get it.
This is Paul Paul Bartow? My grandfather's last name was McAllister! We got the wrong Paul! Shelby, your hair is brown.
My hair is brown? Oh, no.
This is getting worse! I'm freaking out! We have to get your grandma away from that jerk.
And get her together with my grandfather.
We have to find Paul McAllister.
I'll go distract wrong Paul.
You stay here with Rita and find out where the right Paul is.
Don't worry, we'll figure this all out before you turn into a different person.
Cyd, I'm scared.
I don't know if I can do this.
I believe in you, Shelby.
You can do it.
So, you think you can tackle me? Of course I can tackle you.
I'm varsity.
Prove it.
Rita, we need to talk.
Shelby, you look so different.
Who are you trying to be? Ava Gardner? I was thinking more a brunette Taylor Swift, but sure, let's go with the Taylor Swift you're talking about.
Look, I made a mistake.
You're not supposed to be with Paul Bartow.
Are there any other Pauls at this party? Uh, no.
Then who am I supposed to get you together with? I'm sorry, did I mess this up somehow? Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.
I don't get it.
My mother said you were a bold spirit.
That Rita wouldn't need me to tell her what to do.
But you're not that Rita.
Maybe that's why I'm here.
Rita, I think I came here to help you become the kind of adventurer that you're supposed to be.
Someone who doesn't just collect postcards, someone who goes out and sees the world.
Those are just dreams.
I know what my life is gonna be.
I'm gonna stay here and get married like all my friends.
But you don't have to.
I thought I knew what my life was gonna be.
But then something happened, something amazing.
It took me to kindergarten, it took me to the '70s, it brought me here.
What are you talking about? Rita, I've always had everything planned out, too, but lately the best things that have been happening to me haven't been a part of any plan.
And it's been the most incredible adventure you could ever imagine.
I wish I could have that.
But aren't you ever afraid? Of course I am.
Then how do you do it? I have someone who believes in me.
And sometimes that's all it takes to be brave.
I wish I had someone like that.
Rita, I believe in you.
You can do it.
(Both yelling) Whoo! I told you I could take you down.
Rita, your party's the pits.
Let's go.
Shelby? What? Did something else change? Everything else changed.
Pick up the pace, Rita.
Let's go.
Paul, just go without me.
I'm not the girl for you.
Do you have any idea what you're doing? Not really.
But I know I can do it.
Shelby, you're back.
I'm back? I'm back! Well, I did it.
What comes next? Everything.
Hey, you have blonde hair and blue eyes again.
Oh, yes, one last thing to tell you.
We're time travelers.
We're gonna leave some tachyons behind, they're totally harmless, just let them fade on their own.
Open up! I know my jewels are in there! We should just give Vesper the jewels.
This isn't worth it.
I know.
And as a man of science I should do what is rational.
But I can't.
I can't lose this RV.
Renaldo, this isn't just a place where we do experiments.
It's the only place I feel like I can be myself.
If I lose it, where am I going to fit in? Wherever we decide to hang out together, Barry.
(Banging on door) Come on! Open up! We'll be okay.
Just as long as he doesn't realize the entire other wall is missing.
You boys know I can hear you, right? This entire wall is missing.
(Both scream) Enough playin' around! My partner hid those from me 15 years ago in this RV.
But I got here first.
No, please, we need these jewels.
I need 'em too.
Those jewels are gonna finance my next heist.
And whatever's left over, I'll give to the animal shelter.
Wait, I'm confused.
Are you a good guy or a bad guy? I'm complicated.
Now give me those jewels before I have to get rough.
I'm not giving you the jewels.
(Grunts and chuckles) Mr.
Vesper, please.
I need those jewels to buy the RV.
There must be some way you and I can work this out amicably.
If only You know what? Never mind.
Enjoy your jewels.
(Grunting) Oh, I can't believe you captured me.
I'm so mad! But also kinda relieved.
You know how sometimes you just want someone to stop you from doing bad things? Man, this guy is complicated.
(Indistinct radio chatter) Unfortunately, there was no reward money for finding the jewels.
So, there goes our last chance at buying the RV from my parents.
But, on the bright side, they'll still be able to get Brittany those new glasses.
And then if I kissed her, it'd be like kissing a whole new girl.
But still your sister.
Renaldo, I've been pretending all day I haven't heard this.
I will give you the gentleman's five-second head start.
That's really kind of you, Barry.
Shelby's mom: Girls, grandma Rita's here! Do you think she knows it's us who visited her? Of course not.
It's been a minute to us, but it's been like 200 years to her.
Cyd, how long ago do you think the '50s were? Two hundred years.
Did I not just say that? Grandma! (Chuckles) I've just spent six months on a cruise ship and 500 miles on a chopper.
(Laughs) I need hugs.
Hi, I'm Cyd.
(Crooning) Mom, is that a tattoo of a toilet on your arm? Yeah, I won a bet.
You won a bet? Yeah.
The other guy has it on his face.
(Laughing) Girls, look what Grandma brought me.
This totally makes up for you not being there when the twins were born.
(Chuckles) I knew it would.
(Chuckles) Sometimes it's not about being heard, it's just about getting to say it out loud.
You girls just got back, didn't you? So you know? I've been waiting all this time to thank you.
If you girls hadn't believed in me, I would never have followed my dreams.
I never would have traveled the world, and I would never have met Paul McAllister trekking through the Himalayas.
So in a way, we did get you and Grandpa together.
Your grandpa always said that he fell for me because he could see that I had a bold spirit.
Everything I am, I became the night you girls visited me.
I never knew how important we were to each other until now.
I love you, Grandma.
And I love you, Shelby.
Oh, Cyd, I've got something for you.
Oh, don't mess with me, old lady.
Is that a hot dog salad? You know it is, girl! (Chuckling) Ugh! (Spits) That from the '50s? You know it is, girl.
Stop packing, Renaldo.
I have good news! The police were so impressed with our human flypaper design, that they are commissioning us to make more for the entire Portland Police Department.
We'll have enough money to buy the RV from my parents.
We don't have to lose our lab.
That's great, Barry.
But we better get going.
We're gonna be late for first period.
(School bell rings)
