Wizards of Waverly Place s02e24 Episode Script

Oh, no.
Please tell me that's not a new robot you're building.
Uh, no, it's a pencil holder I made Dad for his birthday.
This is the new robot I'm building.
A pencil holder? It looks like an old soup can.
That's because it was an old soup can.
Now it's a heartfelt gift I've made for Dad by removing the label and writing a clever slogan on the side.
"Number one Dad, number two pencil.
" - [laughs.]
- Are you kidding me? Well, I also charmed it to magically sharpen pencils.
[whirring.]
Yes, because it's so hard to do this.
I didn't get him anything.
Put my name on it.
Oh, no, you're not sharing credit for my gift this year.
Fine, if that's the way you want it.
ion.
I'm not scared of you, Alex.
Stop staring at me.
Max, you're not gonna wrap that cat up and give it to Dad for his birthday again, are you? He loves getting this cat every year.
[chuckles.]
He thinks he has a collection.
Hello, number eight.
Max, it's time you started learning from your big bro.
So I'm gonna let you jump on board with my thoughtful and unique gift.
Wait, you'll let him put his name on your gift but not mine? Fine.
Max, before you agree to that, I'm gonna let you in on my gift.
- What's your gift? - I don't know yet.
But you can be sure it's not gonna look like something you could find in a kindergarten classroom.
Let's see: cat, soup can, nothing.
I'm gonna stick with the cat.
Hey, look who it is.
It's the birthday guy.
The guy whose birthday it is.
Obviously, I'm not ignoring it, because I keep saying it.
Birthday, birthday, birthday.
Oh.
Look, Theresa.
The kids are talking about my birthday.
OK, honey, I get it.
I forgot to say "happy birthday" right when you woke up this morning.
Uh, Daddy, Justin and I got you a gift together.
Play along, or your robot gets it.
I got ten of them.
Dad, here's a gift from me.
It's a homemade, magic pencil holder.
Oh! It's perfect.
It combines two of my greatest loves: Canned foods and things that hold other things.
Perfect? [laughs.]
I'm so glad that you like it.
Um, that's from me too, Dad.
He seems to like it, so I'm in.
* Well, you know everything's gonna be a breeze * * That the end will no doubt justify the means * * You can fix any problem with the slightest of ease * * Yes, please * * But you might find out it'll go to your head * * When you write a report on a book you never read * * With the snap of your fingers you can make your bed * * That's what I said * * Everything is not what it seems * * When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams * * You might run into trouble if you go to extremes * * Because everything is not what it seems * * Everything is not what it seems * * When you can have what you want by the simplest of means * * Be careful not to mess with the balance of things * * Because everything is not * - What are you doing? - You'll be interested to know that I've found the perfect present for Dad.
[gasps.]
She's gonna turn her lips into a zipper? Ooh! That's a good shot.
How long have you been working on that one? Since the day Mom came home and said, "Look, there's your little sister, Justin.
" Well, I'm giving Dad the gift of magic powers for his birthday.
What are you talking about? Our powers are limited.
We can't give magical powers to a mortal.
Ah! That's where you're wrong, "Johnny Can't Skip.
" Skipping is an unnatural body motion.
There's a moment when both feet are off the ground.
It's way too unpredictable.
[scoffs.]
Look, I've done a lot of research and there's this thing called Merlin's Hat.
It gives whoever wears it unlimited magical wishes for a whole day.
- You actually researched that? - Sort of.
It was on the first page I opened up to in this book.
Well, you have to perform a deed of incredible selflessness and bravery in the wizard world to get Merlin's Hat.
We all know that's not gonna happen.
- Oh, really? Hold this.
- Really.
No.
OK.
[coughing.]
- Alex, are you OK? - [coughs.]
- I think so.
- What happened? Nothing much.
- Really? - Yeah, if you call saving an entire wizard rec center from a dragon attack "nothing much"! Check it out.
Merlin's Hat.
By the way, we're having dragon heart for dinner.
And so, to prove there are more than only two good children in this family, I'd like to present my father with a birthday present.
It's probably earrings or something else she wanted.
Alex, is this what I think it is? - Is this Merlin's Hat? - Yes, and when you put it on, you have unlimited magical wishes for a whole day.
Awesome.
- That's from me too, Dad.
[chuckles.]
- What about our pencil holder? - Unlimited wishes, pencil holder.
Come on, I'm not an idiot.
- This is amazing, Alex.
- [clears throat.]
And Max.
You've given me powers again.
Yes, she's pulled magic into the real world for selfish reasons.
What could possibly go wrong? Come on, Dad.
Get up and say, "Goonga galoonga," and make a wish.
You don't really have to say, "Goonga galoonga.
" It's just funny.
All right.
I'm a little rusty, but here goes Goonga galoonga.
[laughs.]
Look at that! - Pencils? - Yeah.
To put in my new favorite pencil holder.
- Pencils? - I'm back on Justin's gift.
- Pencils? - Hey, look at that! They're already sharp! Thank you, Justin.
Uh, doesn't anybody hear me repeating the word "pencils" over here? I don't know if you noticed, but Dad just used your gift to make my gift better.
- I noticed.
- I know.
Dad, you realize you can do anything you want with that hat, right? Literally.
Anything at all, in the whole world.
You want me to try it again, huh? All right, uh Mmm There's Ooh, I got it.
Goonga galoonga.
Yes! Huh? [laughs.]
- A milkshake? - Not just any milkshake.
This is a Milky Way Milkshake from The Asteroid Belt.
That was his favorite restaurant when he was a kid in the neighborhood.
He reminds me of it every time he has a milkshake.
So pretty much every day.
The place doesn't exist anymore.
It had this cool '50s sci-fi theme.
Mm.
Boy, I forgot how exciting it is to have powers! Dad, you're wrecking the word "exciting.
" Face it, Alex.
Your gift just isn't as impressive as you thought it would be.
I don't know about that.
I'd say this milkshake is the next best thing to having the actual Asteroid Belt open again.
Open again.
Interesting.
Goonga galoonga.
That is fun to say.
Guys, come down here and see how great I am! Oh, my gosh! Alex, what have you done? I just wanted to show Dad how to use the hat right.
It looks just like The Asteroid Belt, with the rocket ships and The chair's the same! Honey, look! The original Milky Way Milkshake machine.
I love this so much! Really? You love it? Did you hear that? He loves it so much.
This is incredible, Alex.
- Yeah, it's, uh, also from me too, Dad.
This was a great trip down memory lane.
And I will never forget it.
Now you should tn it back into the sub shop.
- Turn it back? But you just got it.
- No, I know.
It was fun.
But, you know, you should turn it back.
You heard him, Alex.
Turn it back.
Excuse me.
This looks like a place I used to go to when I was a kid.
- I'm sorry, we're closed.
- Oh! I'd pay anything for one of those milkshakes.
Anything? Ten dollars.
We'll take three.
Maybe we should keep it like this for a while.
- You should have said 15.
- Ooh! Welcome.
[lauaughs.]
This place is a hit.
I've never seen it this crowded before.
We are raking it in.
[sighs.]
See how ppy Dad is? My gift is so good, I don't even want you on it, Max.
You're off of it.
- What'd I do to get kicked off the gift? Restaurants themes like this are just a fad.
They never last.
Believe me.
Mr.
Russo, we're with the Waverly Place Merchants' Association and we've come to present you with an award for having a fantastic fad that's not going anywhere anytime soon.
We hereby declare you King of the New York Milkshake for your delicious Milky Way Milkshake.
King of the New York Milkshake? Are you serious? Perhaps this official-looking certificate - will answer that question.
- Oh! Thank you.
Theresa, check it out.
I guess it's no surprise when you marry Prince Charming, he grows up to be a king.
You know, that pbably should've seemed arrogant to me, but I find your newfound confidence very appealing.
Alex, your gift just keeps getting better and better.
I'm glad you think so, Dad.
But could you say that a little louder so Justin can hear you? - I'm standing right here.
- I know.
I just wanted to hear him say it louder.
Thank you all for including me in your family meeting.
It's better than how we do it at my house: from separate rooms on walkie-talkies.
Now as you all know, we're no longer that crummy train restaurant.
We are now an amazing spaceship restaurant.
Yes, amazing.
Put that in your family meeting notes, Justin.
A-M-A-Zing.
On you.
The bear, me, you: bear trap.
OK, everybody, let's listen to your father.
He's taking charge, for once in his life, and I, for one, can't get enough of it.
Now, with our new popularity, it's gonna take more people per shift to cover the demand.
- Oh! - Whoa.
I thought this restaurant represented the future.
Shouldn't there be less work in the future? Oh! - Harper, you're hired.
- Yes! Oh, I hope I didn't sound too desperate.
My mom says that's how people get taken advantage of.
[laughs.]
Oh, Harper, no one's taking advantage of you.
You've got the first four shifts.
And you guys have all the rest.
Thanks a lot, Alex.
Now I don't want to hear any complaints because I also got us great new uniforms.
This can't be good.
You're all waiter-nauts.
They're not the most comfortable outfits, but you'll get used to the limited range of motion.
Harper, I don't know how much more of this I can take.
What are you talking about? This is more breathable than most things I wear.
- [ringing.]
- Oh! Oh! It's time for our hourly rocket launch here at The Waverly Asteroid Belt.
Where the deals are out of this world! Dad, you're selling food, not electronics.
- For now.
- Ready! Five, four, three, two, one! - [rumbling.]
- [all.]
Whoa! Salute! - You didn't salute.
- I didn't do a lot of things.
Justin, you win.
This was a bad idea.
You have to help me get rid of this place.
I'm sorry you feel that way, Alex.
But, uh, I'd also like to point out this: What is wrong with you? That's right.
I learned how to skip.
This outfit has gotten me a lot of attention from a very interesting, fringe group of women.
Hi.
And the Alien Language League finally has a suitable place to meet.
What's up, Zeke? [speaking alien language.]
- Oh, my gosh, really? Show me.
- Mm-hm.
- [speaks alien language.]
- Thanks.
I call it power hoppin'.
[speaks alien language.]
Oh, my gosh.
I have to make this stop.
What's going on? - I made a really bad decision with this present for my dad.
Having a popular restaurant is way too much work.
I'd rather have a place that's barely scraping by, like our old Sub Station.
I'm just gonna put this hat on and wish for it all to go away.
Goonga ga Look at how happy he is.
I can't take this away from him.
Oh, Tin Man.
You do have a heart.
Yes, but only until I get tired of lording this over Justin.
Oh, who are we kidding? I'll never get tired of that.
- [crashing, sputtering.]
- What was that? Let's split up and see what's going on! I'll go outside! I'm gonna go check under your bed.
Bye! [rumbling.]
Do you guys believe it? Aliens have landed on Waverly Place.
Who's gonna tell them they can't park there? They're gonna get towed.
I've been waiting my entire life for this moment! - [zooming.]
- [crowd screams.]
I got this.
[clears throat.]
[speaking alien language.]
I have no idea what you are talking about, kid.
I just welcomed you to this planet and offered you my eternal brotherhood.
Sounded like a lot of gibberish, if you ask me.
[gasping.]
That's 'cause you're from the wrong planet.
Listen up, earthlings.
We have come to your street because we heard that the Milky Way Milkshake has been brought back.
We have always believed that the Milky Way Milkshake is the tastiest milkshake in the entire universe.
And now that the machine is back up and running, we want it.
And we intend to get it.
[crowd screaming.]
Thanks to your magic gift, real aliens have come here.
What are we supposed to do now? Lie our butts off.
You know I'm not really comfortable Oh, right, I got it.
[clears throat.]
Uh, fellow citizens of New York City and the outlying boroughs, don't panic.
This is just an elaborate promotional stunt, yes, a promotional stunt, for the new restaurant here.
That's right.
Because if these were real aliens, they would probably look much more expensive.
- What's that? - Yeah - Wizards dressed as aliens? - Real aliens.
[both.]
Oh, boy.
Who are you? He's King of the New York Milkshake.
- No - Regular Thanks a lot! Hand over the milkshake machine.
- Here's the milkshake machine.
- [gasps.]
Jerry! All right, fine.
Everybody, run for your lives! - [blasting.]
- [ricocheting.]
Justin, I hate to tell you this, but this was a poorly conceived promotional stunt.
That's coming from a guy who is susceptible to commercial ad campaigns.
- [grunts.]
- [shattering.]
[grunting.]
Jerry, help us! Uh Ah! Not the milkshake machine! - Please! - I knew it.
[yelps.]
Max, you always play those alien video games.
- Try to reason with them.
- I'm not really that good.
You only let me play an hour a day.
That's because you have a C-minus in math.
Are we really having this conversation right now? C-minus? How are you doing better than me? [screaming.]
Are you happy now? You just had to get a better gift than me, didn't you? Can you just forget about that for one second? They're closing in on Dad.
What should we do? [Jerry.]
Alex! Give me Merlin's Hat! Goonga galoonga.
Did it work? Am I alone on the big island? [Theresa.]
Ha! I knew it! What is wrong with this thing? You only get one day to make wishes, that was yesterday.
The hat's powerless.
Uh-oh.
Dad, I'm sorry.
I guess if we've learned one thing here today, it's that I should stop trying to be nice to people.
Hey, what happened? Where did the milkshake machine go? Justin! You did it! Luckily, one of those aliens dropped this thing and I was able to quickly figure out how to operate their advanced technology.
It's a switch.
Well, this is just great.
Come on, guys, we've got a long trip back.
How did you know that shooting Merlin's Hat would reverse all of Dad's wishes? I didn't.
I was just really sick of that present.
And how did you know you wouldn't hit me with a laser? Well, Dad, that was a risk I was willing to take.
And Dad, why did you try to trade me? Son, there is no doubt in my mind they would have brought you back in a day.
[mouths.]
- Oh! - Uh! Why are we all hugging? Because that's what normal families do.
[spaceship launching off.]
Dad, I'm sorry about wrecking your birthday.
I just wanted you to have a good birthday gift.
I know you did, honey.
And I appreciate it.
I just want you guys to know that everything isn't about big birthday gifts.
Sometimes, it's the simple, little gifts that are the best ones.
That goes for magic too.
It's not always about slaying dragons or bringing a restaurant back from the past.
Sometimes, a soup can that's charmed to do this - [whirring.]
- is all you need.
I even missed the little cat that Max gives me every year.
