- Bike repairs?
- Nope.
- Chimney sweeps?
- Nope.
Skydiving instructors,
chicken coop cleaners,
golf ball divers?
Nope. Hard no.
And, that's an actual thing?
But not a chance.
Well, that's it.
Those are all the jobs posted.
Like my dad's meatloaf,
all the good gigs have
officially dried up.
Hi, girls. What
are you two up to?
[Brooklyn] Other than eating all
the popcorn in the house?
Not finding any jobs.
I have one for you.
- Really?
- You do?
Yep. Find something
to plant these in.
- Does it pay?
- No,
but you can pay them
some compliments. It helps them grow.
Aw. I love a compliment too,
you little cutie.
You are looking fierce today.
They are adorable.
But I don't think we have any pots.
Here you go, Mom.
Oh, unexpected.
What a beautiful transformation.
Looks like something I spent a fortune on.
Hear that? You look like
a million bucks.
That's it.
We should stop searching for other jobs
and start our own business.
- We'll sell plants.
- We'll compliment plants!
Or sell plants.
Yeah, that's better.
So, where are we gonna get
a bunch of popcorn bowls?
Good question.
But, you know what?
- We might like how this looks
- Love.
And it's definitely mom approved,
but if we're gonna be
professional business people,
maybe using left over bowls
isn't the way to go?
True. If we want our customers
to take us seriously,
we need to sell our plants
in serious pots.
I don't know, girls.
This one's got so much personality.
Like the two of you.
I would think that's a huge bonus.
Thanks, Mom.
But we got this.
Let's start tomorrow.
We just need the perfect place
to set up shop.
How about outside of school?
Saturdays are always busy
with teachers and students rehearsing.
Right.
And, there's an orchestra
concert this weekend too.
It'll be perfect.
Want to spruce up your studio?
Need a plant for your prop department?
Or, a last-minute gift for your friend?
Well, give them the gift of life.
Plant life, that is.
To plant or not to plant,
that is the question.
To plant.
This one will be perfect as the
centerpiece at our table read.
If ballet is your thing, look no further.
These plants over here
are really en pointe.
Wow, look at you ladies.
Living the entrepreneurial life.
I know, right?
Business is blooming.
What are you up to?
I had to drop off some costumes
for the drama club.
So, I thought I'd check on
my favorite florists.
See if you need any help.
Aw. Thanks, Rafa.
But we've got it under control.
How much should I water this one?
Once a week, but you should
give it compliments daily.
It helps them grow.
Oh, but I think you'd like this
one over here even more.
So, you don't need my help with anything?
No managerial or best friend
duties to attend to?
Enjoy!
No, we're good.
Wow. I never thought this day
would come.
I'm officially, totally project free.
Guess I'll just go hang at Buddy's.
Sounds great.
Enjoy your time off.
Nice! I was wondering
who'd take that one.
She's small but mighty.
Now this is what I call a green thumb.
[sighs]
Macchiato with a hint of cinnamon.
Just how you like it.
No Brooklyn and Malibu today?
Just me, alone with my thoughts.
This is my first free afternoon in months.
It's just so
Exciting? Liberating?
Eye opening?
Boring. I need something to do.
♪
I should go on a hike, in a paddle boat?
To look for pants?
No, I said you can do something
by handing me that broom.
I mean, honestly?
Paddle boat? Pants?
Oh, sure.
I'm the silly one in this scenario.
What about you, Epiphany?
I'm at your service.
You could help me settle an argument
between the sugar packets
and the honey jars.
The honey called the sugar unrefined.
And it's a real sticky situation.
On second thought, maybe I'll just
work on some costume sketches.
Oh! I'd love for you to design
a costume for me.
A commission? You bet.
What's the event?
A masked ball, an off off Broadway run?
Hm. The costume will
choose the event.
Let it guide me.
OK. Not a lot to go on,
but I'm a professional.
I'll make it work.
Oh, and if it can inspire
the sugar to forgive the honey,
that would be sweet.
♪
I can't believe how well this is going.
- At this rate we'll--
- Sell out?
Don't worry, everyone.
Just sit tight and we'll be
back with more inventory.
Good thing we stashed some
extra plants in our lockers.
♪
Where'd everyone go?
[crowd talking excitedly]
- [both gasps]
- The Dash!
Why, my dear customers, settle
for plants in boring plain pots
- [gasps]
- when they can live in these
super stylish colorful planters?
That'll be $20.
Thank you.
Who's next?
What do you think you're doing?
This was our idea first.
It's not about who thought of it first,
it's about who does it better.
And let's be honest, do original
ideas even exist?
- Yes.
- Absolutely!
Oh, then tell me, which came first,
the chicken or the egg?
- What?
- Einstein or Newton?
What does that even have to do with
Peanut butter or chocolate?
Oh, I know this one.
The point is, my movies
aren't going to fund themselves,
so unless you amateurs plan on
buying something,
can you move it along?
I've got paying customers. Ciao!
You'll be hearing from
our lawyers about this.
- Really?
- No.
But it always seems to work in the movies.
OK, then what are we actually gonna do?
We've gotta step things up.
It's time to out dash the Dash.
We just need to figure out how.
I know. I always love getting
free stuff when I buy things.
What if we give out free candy
with every plant purchased?
Gotta spend money to make money, right?
Love it. But why stop there?
We'll make some flyers, a sign,
start a whole marketing campaign.
- Ready?
- Break!
- [pot shatters]
- Ah.
We'll take it out of our smoothie fund.

On the bright side,
I've heard whipped cream
is an excellent moisturizer.
OK, think of these as a
foundation for your costume.
They'll give us a sense of
what shape and style you like
and then I'll customize it
to your exact taste.
What do you think of this one?
Oh, you're right.
That would look stunning.
What would?
I can't put jazz hands on a dress.
Stefan was only pointing out
that this one's ambiance
doesn't feel right as is.
Precisely.
But it could work if you added feathers
to represent the unspoken
language of poetic expression.
Sure, except I've sworn off feathers.
There was a peacock incident
a few years back.
Anyways, I've got two more options.
Again, this is just a start.
This one's energy needs cleansing.
I sensed it too, Stefan.
It's so helpful having him here.
He just gets it.
Yes, thank you, Stefan.
You are such a big help.
OK, here we go.
I feel good about this one.
I was thinking we add
Oh! I can hear it's pain.
Oh, you poor, poor thing.
Hm. Must have stopped 'cause
I'm not getting anything.
You read my mind, Stefan.
Let's get it some herbal tea.
I'll grab the honey.
But what I am hearing is
that you want me to step it up.
And I respect a challenge,
don't you worry.
Your wish is my design.
Game on, Stefan.
Get your game face on, girl.
Thanks to my dad's client
who runs an animal rescue,
we now have the ultimate secret weapon.
[both] Bunny rabbits!
Buy a plant, pet a rabbit.
Rabbits! Aw!
I want to pet one.
And don't forget, these adorable bunnies
are from the Sunny Side Animal Rescue.
Where you can apply to adopt them.
Cool!
You know, this might actually work.
It's totally going to work.
The Dash couldn't top this even if he--
Had a horse?!
Well, I mean, maybe. But
[horse whinnies]
[laughing]
That's right. Just another
the Dash-tastic idea.
Everyone, meet Chauncey.
A free ride with every purchase.
- Wow!
- [excited chatter]
Seriously? A horse?
Of course. Nothing beats a free pony
ride. Not even your run away rodents.
Uh! They're not rodents,
they're rabbits and run away?
They're very much Gone!
Ah!
Where'd they go?
Oh, there.
Let's go wrangle some rabbits.
There they go!
Hopping into the theater.
At least they're all in one place.
The place where an orchestra
concert is about to start!
♪
Where'd they go?
You'd think their huge ears
would be easy to spot.
I'll be back in two minutes for show time.
I want complete concentration until then.
No interruptions and no
distractions as you warm up.
♪
You heard the man.
We have two minutes.
[orchestra warming up]
Oof!
Oh!
[orchestra warming up]
Ah!
You sound great.
Ah!
[orchestra warming up]
Yeah. Break a leg!
OK, one, two, three,
four uh-oh.
"Uh-oh" we got all of them
or "uh-oh" we're missing one?
There it is!
[orchestra warming up]
The conductor!
Our bunny's about to get busted
and we're out of options.
Not yet. There's still time
for a hoppy ending.
♪
Ah!
Ah!
Ugh!
♪
[gasps]
[laughs]
[horse whinnies]
[chattering]
[sighs]
At least we got all the
rabbits back safe and sound.
Even if our business is a bust.
All that work and we've got
zero dollars to show for it.
Actually, we still owe Lyla
for the free candy we borrowed
from the studio, so technically,
we're in the hole.
Spend money to make money, huh?
More like spend all our money
and make no money.
Come on, let's get these
little guys back to the rescue.
OK, I started from scratch.
Prepare to be wow'd.
This one has shoulder pads that light up.
Oh.
And this one changes colors
with your mood.
Ah!
And this one has a water feature.
Hm, OK.
Sorry, Rafa. I'm just not
feeling any of these.
♪
How beautiful!
Original, yet simple.
Now, this costume speaks to me.
I knew it would.
Speaks? It's invisible!
You can't even see it, let alone hear it.
Invisible is in the eye of the beholder.
- Is it?
- Uh, yeah.
Two emergency pick-me-up
smoothies, please.
We spent our smoothie fund.
Make that two emergency
pick-me-up waters, please.
Ladies, please tell me something good.
How's entrepreneur life?
I actually miss doing odd jobs.
But, at least now we can add
rabbit wrangler to our resumes.
Ughhh
Um, did the tea leaves tell Epiphany
to free her inner butterfly again?
[sighs] No, I told her I'd make
her a costume
but she wasn't "feeling"
any of my designs.
She is, however, feeling
what Stefan was selling.
No, no more selling.
Apparently, he mimed her
the perfect design.
Like I could compete with
an imaginary outfit.
Glitter? Spandex?
Wait, do those shoulder pads light up?
Yeah, these don't look anything
like you signature Rafa designs.
And have we more water features?
[sighs] This was my first
commission in a while
so I tried to take a
professional approach.
Give the customer what she wanted.
And then when Stefan's ideas
seemed to get getting
all of Epiphany's attention
I tried to out-Stefan Stefan.
You can't out-Stefan Stefan.
You can only worry
about out-Rafa-ing Rafa.
That sounded better in my head
but you know what I'm saying.
If Stefan made that costume,
or, did it make that costume his way?
But you've got to stick to
designing things your way.
Plus, if being professional
means losing your unique charm,
then who needs it?
Except, apparently we did
the same exact thing with our plants.
We were so worried about
being taken seriously
that we ignored what inspired us
in the first place.
The popcorn bowl!
And when the Dash showed up,
we got even more off-track
by trying to compete with him his way.
My mom was totally right.
We should have done things
the Barbie way from the start.
We could use your help.
Count me in, but I gotta do
one thing first.
So I'll catch up with you at the booth.
Make that two entrepreneurial
genius waters to go, please.
[gasps]
I love it.
Don't worry Stefan, I still love
your costume too.
Now this is us.
And this is definitely the Rafa
style we know and love.
Wait, is that a coffee pot?
It sure is.
Each plant has been thoughtfully planted
in a recycled house hold item.
Making the old new and the green greener.
And, each planter is one of a kind.
Just like our customers.
How neat! I love it.
I want one.
Do you have this in an old shoe?
- Can I have your shoe?
- Nope.
Not a chance.
These are my fave.
Would a shoebox work?
These are amazing.
I'll take three.
Music to my ears.
We did pretty good.
This is all that's left.
Well, look what we have here.
Not bad for a couple of amateurs.
I admit, your business did well.
- I had to close up my own shop.
- Really?
So, no more cupcakes,
balloon arch, dunk tank?
Gone, gone and gone.
What can I say? The people were
only interested in one-of-a-kind planters.
But all is not lost, among the madness,
my muse spoke to me.
My next film will star a group
of rogue rabbits
on an odyssey through an abandoned park.
The only trouble is,
I'll need some unique plants
for my set dressing.
I'll take everything you have left.
Now, that is a Dash-tastic idea.
Careful, let's not give him
too much credit.
But that does put us over the top.
We have plenty of money
for another recording session.
- Yes!
- Woo-hoo!
- We did it!
- [horse whinnies]
We appreciate your business, the Dash,
but you might want
to pick up your plants later.
After you catch your run-away pony.
Chauncey is not a pony and he's not
[horse whinnies]
Chauncey!
[screams]
[horse whinnies]
