Liv and Maddie (2013) s03e08 Episode Script

Ask Her More-a-Rooney

Hey, Voltage fans, it's Liv Rooney.
And Josh Wilcox.
And we are coming to you live on Gab-a-Scope talking to the fans of Voltage, which will air right after this Q&A.
And I'm Willow.
I love Voltage! Let's get to those questions.
Uh, first up, Mandy says, "Liv, you look so beautiful.
" Oh! Thank you, Mandy.
Um, okay, so the next question is for Josh, and it's coming from Gracie.
She says, "Josh, what is your favorite thing about playing Garrison?" I guess that people underestimate Garrison, which means that he can surprise you.
And also, on stage, there are free waffles! Uh, Liv, Sofia says, "Show us your shoes!" Oops, caught me, Sof-Sof.
I'm not wearing shoes.
Just my fuzzies.
Okay, one last question for Liv.
Uh, "Liv, I love your hair," "Liv, you're so pretty," "Liv, what are you wearing on the red carpet this week for the Fan Pick Awards?" Hmm.
Well, here's a hint.
I'm gonna be ditching my fuzzy slippers.
Thank you guys so much and keep watching Voltage! Bye! I love talking to the fans.
Did you notice that Josh got asked about the show and all you got was stuff about your looks? Yeah.
I guess you're right.
Although now that I think about it, that kinda happens all the time.
Doesn't that bug you? That is weird.
But I'm glad no one asked me about my shoes.
Rooney.
You and me have a problem.
You have an overdue library book.
What are you, like, the library cop? As a matter of fact, I am the library cop.
Three years ago, you checked out The Holly Bell Story.
Oh, yeah, I love that book, but I returned it.
Incorrect.
And it is out of print, thus rendering a new copy impossible to procure, so either return the book or face repercussions.
Hmm.
Wow.
I think yeah, I think I can live with a black mark on my library return record.
Mm-hmm.
Then prepare to be repercussed.
Hey! Good morning, Mr.
Dump Truck sir.
Allow me to return Don't Call it a Dunce Cap.
Whoa, hey, yo.
This spine is sticky.
What is this? Syrup? Well there may or may not have been pancakes in my backpack.
There were.
Damage like this is gonna cost you.
What? No! Come on! I'm saving up for tap shoes! Perhaps I can do you a favor and look the other way.
Of course I will expect you to return this favor when called upon.
Well, don't see how a deal like that with an upstanding guy like you could backfire.
Let's shake on it, buddy! That hand syrup-free? I cannot guarantee that.
I'm gonna pass.
Honey, when you're at the Fan Pick Awards, just make a subtle gesture so I know you're thinking of me.
Something like a Now come on.
Let's get you on that plane.
Ooh, the red carpet awaits.
You must be so excited.
I am.
I just Something's really been bugging me lately.
Oh.
What's the matter, honey? I just I don't know.
I've been thinking how when I do these things, you know, I get questions mostly about my appearance, and male actors get questions about their work.
Oh.
Yeah, that does seem to be the way it is.
Yeah.
And I love fashion obviously, but I also love my work, and I just kind of wish that people would ask me about that.
If you want to change the questions, you have to find a way to change conversation.
Wow.
Change the convo.
Thanks.
You just dropped a mom bomb.
Whoop! Hey! Okay, Mom, so I need my transcripts to apply for basketball scholarships, right? But the Ridgewood student portal will not release them, and I'm gonna miss my deadline.
Can you fix it? Well, lucky for you, Vice Principal Mom has security clearance.
So let's see.
Put in my code Oh! Yep, here's the problem.
Your transcripts are being held because a book called Dribble Queen is overdue.
Dribble Queen? I'm being repercussed.
Wait, Momma.
I have literally no idea where this book is and now it's gonna keep me out of college? Oh Could you do something about it Vice Principal Mom? Winkity, wink, wink, wink, wink.
- Oh.
- Huh? Madison Rooney, I am a vice principal, not a common criminal.
Rules are rules.
No go on the winkity, wink, wink? What about the the blinkity, blink, blink? Okay.
Find the bookity, book, book, book.
Hey! It's my new pal, Dump Truck.
Let me just ditch my books in my locker, then we can hit the cafeteria for some bro-rritos.
Okay.
Remember when I told you one day I'd need a favor? Well, today is that day.
I'm storing certain items in your locker.
What sort of certain items? I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Please refrain from opening your locker until further notice.
Now scram, yous.
Oh! Why are you carrying so many books? Joey, you know I worry about your back.
Dump Truck's using my locker for something.
Uncle Martucci we ain't gonna be hearing from Tony Slim Nose no more.
I made sure of that with my meat cleaver.
And the pieces are stored in a secure location.
Did you hear that? No! There was too much whimpering and fear going on in my head.
He's hiding a dead body in your locker! Oh.
Well, now the whimpering and fear is coming out! Ugh! Where is it?! Where is that book? Yeah! Yeah! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
What are you doing right now? I I thought we were messing up the kitchen.
It seemed like fun.
No.
I'm I'm looking for this book and if I don't find it, basically my entire life is ruined.
What book? The Holly Bell Story.
- Why did you just gasp? - I didn't gasp.
Yeah, you did.
You went Oh.
That? I always do that.
Tell me what you had for breakfast.
Oatmeal.
See? Tell me what you know, because if I don't find that book, I'm not gonna go to college, and then you are gonna have to share a room with Joey forever.
Okay! I know where the book is! Yes! Where is it? Down below.
It's in the Parker tunnels? Why? You need to see for yourself to fully grasp the sitchiation.
We're at the Fan Pick Awards! We're at the Fan Pick Awards! Okay, Josh.
Be cool.
We're at the Fan Pick Awards.
I can't hold it in.
We're at the Fan Pick Awards! Whoo! Liv Rooney! Paula Porter, Celebrity News Now.
- Hi! - You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Josh Wilcox, why do you think the fans love Voltage so much? I think Liv should answer that.
She's worked hard bringing SkyVolt to life.
Liv, I have been dying to ask you about your part! And I am just dying to tell you! What made you change the part in your hair from the side, to the center, and back to the side? There was something that I was going to change, and it had nothing to do with my hair.
It was time to change the conversation.
Liv Rooney! Over here! Jacob Michaels from News Meets World.
Let's get a shot of that dress! Oh.
where you Oh! Hello! Hello.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi there.
Hi.
Um, so, sorry, are you gonna pan down over Josh's body too or Oh, I I hope not.
I'm not wearing matching socks.
Or shoes.
You are biffing your first red carpet, Josh.
Are we there yet? We'll be there when I tell you we're there! - Ugh! - Okay, we're there.
Welcome to Parker Hollow.
This is where I go to allow my mind to focus on my scientific research.
And where I sometimes binge watch Linda and Heather.
Okay.
So let's just find my book and get back above ground.
Yeah, so about that Sick! There it is! Wait! That pillar is the main support beam for Parker Hollow.
Touch that book, and the tunnels will collapse.
And with them our house.
Oh, that's really funny.
Oh Ah! What? Dang it! Like I said, it's a sitchiation.
Well, there's a rotting corpse in my locker! What do I do? What do I do?! Joey, you have to tell the police.
Or at the very least, the janitor.
It's Dump Truck! Act natural.
Oh! Okay, less natural.
Hey there, Mr.
Dump Truck sir.
Joseph, I came to thank you for the use of your locker, and to tell you that it will be vacated soon.
There's some business going down tonight.
The less you know, the better.
Thanks, buddy.
That all sounds super normal and above board.
As is my way.
A pleasant evening.
Joey, he's moving the body tonight.
We can catch him red-handed! Or we could just wait 12 hours, and then it is not our problem anymore.
You said "our problem.
" This murder is making us a couple! Ugh, I cannot believe that you used my library book to hold up the entire house! My life is over.
Look, all we have to do is replace your book in the pillar with another one that's the exact same size.
Got it! Mom's Thai cookbook.
Oh, yeah.
She's not gonna miss this.
She's been promising to make us pad Thai for, like, years.
- Back to the tunnels! - Yes! Uh, this way, blondie.
There's a shortcut.
What? No way.
A brand new Parker tunnel? Dude, no wonder you always win at hide-and-seek.
Who's ready to watch the Fan Pick Awards Oh.
Nobody here.
Guess I'm the only one who's down with the popular culture.
Please don't be a dead body, please don't be a dead body, please don't be a dead body, please don't be a dead body.
It's an arm! It's the arm of Tony Slim Nose! I told you not to open your locker.
Shut your mouths! Now open 'em back up to enjoy a piece of my Uncle Martucci Truckberg's family salami.
What? We're going to kill Tony Slim Nose.
In a taste contest.
This whole thing was about salami? Yeah.
What, you didn't think nothing nefarious was going on, did you? Us? No.
One question though.
Huh? Why did you have to store the salami in my locker? Because it's the last place Tony Slim Nose would look.
They clearly don't understand the cut-throat nature of the salami business.
Yeah.
Let's go.
- Knuckleheads.
- Tell me about it.
Thank you.
Liv Rooney! You're back in LA! Kristen Bell! - Hello! - Hi! No way! No way! No way! I'm on the red carpet with Kristen Bell! I'm talking to Kristen Bell! Hi, Kristen Bell! I'm I'm Kristen Josh.
I mean Hi.
- Hi.
- You are blowing this, Josh! He's cute.
It's his first time? Yeah.
Wow, how could you tell? You guys got past the microphone circus okay? Yeah.
I mean, sort of.
Most of the questions were They're just variations of "Clothes!" "You wear clothes!" "Why these clothes?" "Hair!" Yes.
Exactly.
Kristen Bell and Liv Rooney! Two of my favorite blondes! Love your hair! That's not a question.
All that I could think about were the girls watching me at home, and it was so important to me that they hear me talk about more than just my appearance.
Do you wanna do something about these dumb questions? Are you saying we tackle these reporters, grab their mics, head into the parking lot and bash their headlights in? - Oh, I'm in then! - All right.
Okay.
- Yes! - Okay, no, no.
- I'm in.
- So so dial it down.
- I don't know.
That was a great plan.
- You Last time you were this worked up was after Serena and Venus Williams beat us in that charity tennis match last summer, so - That ball was out.
- No, it was not.
We've been over this, like, a million times.
- It was out.
- They beat us six-love six-love.
I can't remember, but - Okay, focus! K-Bell! - I think it was out.
K-Bell we are changing the conversation.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Yeah.
You start.
I will back you up.
Okay.
- Liv Rooney.
- Yeah? You are the prettiest superhero on TV.
Talk about that.
Um, actually, I would like to talk about something more.
Um not one reporter has asked me, you know how I feel about playing a superhero, or how I do the stunts, or what heroes inspired me.
You guys have only asked me about my dress and my hair.
Boom! - Busted, Jacob Michaels.
- Busted.
Hey, Liv Rooney just played you.
- Let's talk about that.
- Uh Well, she's America's sweetheart, all right? Those are the questions that our audience expects.
Or is it what they're told to expect by a group of people who don't think to dig a little deeper? Whoo! You are on fire right now, K-Bell! Thank you, L-Roon.
Yeah, and and also I mean, don't we have an obligation to encourage our fans to expect more? I love fashion, but that is not the only thing that women in show business care about, you know? I mean, ask us more.
Drop that knowledge, Liv.
Yeah.
And and girls, you are you, and you are so much more than just your appearance.
- I think that's it.
- Okay.
- Oh wait! No! - Oh.
Hi, Mom! What was that? That's just how I say hi to my momma.
Do you can I can I borrow that? - I mean, like, yeah.
- Okay.
Hey.
Hey, kids! Okay, when the Parker-tronic hydraulic pogo lift triggers, it'll take the stress off the pillar for two seconds.
That's when you swap the books.
I got this.
You can do this, Mad Dog.
It's a lot of pressure, but you thrive on that.
Yeah, I do.
Just think about swapping the books.
Not about how if you fail, it'll destroy our home and suck us into the Earth for a certain, painful death.
Okay, Parker! Hey! Parker, where are you?! Rooting for you to succeed from a secure location.
Good luck, sis.
Ah! Oh! Oh, I did it! I got the book! I knew we could do it, Maddie! Hey, guys! So we are on the set of Voltage, and we have a few minutes to answer some questions, so fire away! Um, this one's from Elisa.
"Liv, I loved what you said at the Fan Pick Awards.
"Girls are more than just their appearance.
What is the biggest risk you've taken?" Wow! Um great question.
I told her that my biggest risk, um, was leaving home to follow my dreams of becoming an actress, and then they asked me about who my role models were, and which charities I support.
Look at us.
We just changed the conversation a little bit.
Here's another one.
"Liv, what accomplishment are you most proud of?" Um well, right now, it's kind of the fact that that is the question that you just chose to ask.
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Hey, has anyone out there changed the conversation? And if so, reach out and let us know how it made a difference in your life.
Yeah, L-Roon would love to see that.
Yeah it's really only K-Bell who gets to call me L-Roon.
Biffed it again, Josh! All right! Here.
Dribble Queen.
Now will you please release my transcripts so that I can go to college and live the life that I was born to live? Everything seems to be in order.
I have restored your once sullied name.
But I'm watching you.
Sick! All right, now all I need is my birth certificate and my college applications will be complete.
Not a problem, I know exactly where that is.
You see, I keep everyone's important papers in my Thai cookbook.
Your Thai cookbook? In her Thai cookbook.
It's a sitchiation.
