Austin and Ally s04e05 Episode Script

The rules are simple.
First, we shake up this can of carbonation extreme, the most carbonated drink in the world Then we shut our eyes and mix them up.
And now, we open them to see who gets sprayed in the face.
I'll go first.
Whew.
Me next.
Ah! I feel so alive! Your turn, Ally.
Yeah, I'm not opening that can.
- What? - Oh, come on! - That's the whole point! - Come on! Guess who has to do a book report! On some stupid book called, theLonely Maiden's Journey.
This is horrible! What am I supposed to do? This might sound a little crazy, but maybe read the book, then write a report about it? Eh.
Anyone have any better ideas? Oh! You could do what I always do instead of writing book reports, I make a video about the book, and I always get a good grade.
He lets me act in them.
Last week, I got to be Antony and Cleopatra.
Whoo! Why didn't you ask me to be Cleopatra? You? Well, Trish, maybe Dez can help you with your assignment? Huh.
That's not a bad idea.
Dez can direct, and I can star in it! I'm in! Here! Let's celebrate our video with a can of carbonation extreme.
Wow.
That is extreme.
Wow.
That was amazing! Are you waiting for a lesson? I hope not.
She is way better than me.
I know.
I'm way better than most people.
There's nothing you can teach me.
Well, I could teach you modesty.
Well, I don't like to brag, but I'm actually better at modesty than most people, too.
So, why are you here? You're gonna be teaching my sister, Shelby.
I'm just dropping her off and setting the bar impossibly high.
Good luck, sis.
Bye, Violet.
Hey, Shelby.
Man, if your sister is that good, you must be pretty good, too.
Nope.
Well, I'm sure you've got some understanding of how to play? Nope.
Have you ever picked up a violin? I tried playing once, but I was so bad my teacher quit after one lesson.
Well, that's terrible! Your teacher didn't even give you a chance.
What an awful, horrible person.
My teacher was my sister.
Oh.
But she seemed so nice.
I wish I had a musical talent.
Well, I believe everybody has talent inside them, and with some lessons and practice, I promise I can make you great Like your sister.
You really think you can make me as good as Violet? Uh, yeah.
I can't wait to start.
Okay, just fill out this form.
Can you give us a sec? Ally, what are you doing? You're getting this girl's hopes up.
I know I can help her! We started the A&A music factory to help people just like Shelby.
I know, but you promised her she'd be as good as her sister, and you haven't even heard her play.
She can't be that bad.
Okay.
Okay.
You don't know that's her.
I'm looking right at her.
This video book report is a great idea, Dez.
It combines two of my greatest passions in life acting And taking the easy way out.
So, tell me, what do you know about aLonely Maiden's Journey? I know that it's a book, and I know that I don't want to read it.
The story opens up on our heroine, Cecilia.
The war has just ended, and she must travel by foot to the north with her baby, Scarlet.
Uh, this is a giant sausage.
Yeah.
We can't afford a real baby Or lunch, and I am starving.
Give me Scarlet.
Mmm.
That is good sausage baby.
Let's start with the crying scene.
I'll just grab some onions.
Oh, I'm an amazing actress.
I don't need onions to help me cry.
Oh, no.
In this scene, you're crying because the villagers are throwing onions at you to get you off their property.
And action! The key is to have a soft, delicate touch.
Now, you try.
Okay.
Delicate.
Uh, maybe Even more delicate than that.
How's it going in here? Good.
So good.
This girl has a lot of potential.
Stay right there.
We're gonna I don't want you to hear Shelby until she's totally perfected her technique.
Well, from downstairs, her technique sounds like two raccoons fighting in a dumpster.
Stop being so negative.
I can get her there.
In fact, I'll bet you I can have her concert ready by the next friends and family night.
Oh, really? Sure, and if I fail, I'll make you a five-foot pancake.
Like the one we saw on that TV show, America's biggest breakfast foods? Yup.
Okay.
And what do you want if you win? Huh.
I hadn't really thought about it, but I guess, off the top of my head, maybe This beautiful, one-of-a-kind, designer sterling silver necklace with a moon charm pendant from Jilly & Sons.
Off the top of your head, huh? I'll email you the info, 'cause you're going down! Downtown! 'Cause, uh That's where the jewelry store is.
Uh, where do you keep the violin glue? It has been three long days since I have set foot on land, and I am sitting on this block of ice, freezing my buns off! And if the director doesn't yell cut in five seconds, - I'm gonna - Cut! Trish, none of that is in the script.
But I can't feel my legs.
I know you said using real ice is more professional, but can we please use the fake stuff? I'm sorry.
My watch must be broken, 'cause I had no idea it was amateur hour! I'm freezing! I've been sitting on this block of ice for two hours! Well, Cecilia was stuck on the iceberg for two days! Did she complain? I don't know! I didn't read the book! Look, we've been doing crazy stunts all day.
Isn't there a scene where I'm laying down, taking a nap, or something? Fine.
Let's do the desert scene.
All you have to do is lie down on the sand Oh, sounds good.
I can do that.
then I cover you with these live tarantulas! Aah! Ooh! Good scream, but I think you can do better.
- Live tarantulas! - Aah! That's the one.
So, I've got all my dance students ready for friends and family night.
What do you think of this dance move? Not bad.
Speaking of friends and family night, Shelby's been getting a lot better at violin.
Listen.
Shelby, show him what you got.
Huh.
Wow.
That's really good for just a week.
Pfft! Really good? You should see what I could do after one week.
Oh, and you can! Because it's still online.
Here we go.
"Three-year-old girl wows crowd at carnegie hall.
" How did you get your little toddler fingers to move so fast? Well, I did have the best teacher me! I'm self-taught! Okay.
We get it.
You're the talented one, and I'm not.
I don't even know why I bother trying.
I quit.
Wha Shelby, wait! So, you want to see the video again? Of course you do.
If you're here for your pancake, I didn't make it yet.
I had to special order an extra large griddle.
I don't care about the pancake.
Delicious, fluffy, five-foot pancake Ugh.
I can't believe Shelby quit.
I tried so hard.
And you were making a lot of progress.
I really thought you'd pull it off.
Then why did you bring in this huge pad of butter? I was just teasing.
I'm sorry.
But Here.
I got you this.
Austin! You got me the moon necklace? And you added a sun.
Yeah.
That's you and me Austin moon, Ally daw-sun.
Aww, thanks, Austin.
But I lost the bet.
It doesn't matter.
I bought you this because I believe in you.
Look at the back.
"I believe in you, "and together, we can go fart.
" They ran out of room.
It was supposed to say, "together, we can go farther than the moon.
" Aww.
I still feel so bad about Shelby.
- Yeah.
- What can we do? Hey.
Maybe we can teach her something besides the violin? That's a great idea! If we can find that thing that she's good at, she'll stop comparing herself to her sister.
When you were working with her, did you notice any hidden talents? Uh, she's good at breaking things? Yeah.
Help! Oh! Trish? Can you guys help me! Oh, hurry up! Oh, I'm getting really dizzy.
Ugh.
- Oh, oh - Okay Slowly.
Slowly, still spinning.
Slowly.
Ugh.
- I got you, I got you.
- The room is still spinning.
Oh, here you go.
Wait, look what Austin got me.
Seriously? Sorry.
Why were you hanging up there? Dez hung me up here for my video book report, then that doof realized he forgot the baby at school.
You left a baby at school? It's a sausage baby.
Don't ask.
Wait, I thought your book report was on aLonely Maiden's Journey? It is.
This is the part where the baby, played by a sausage, accidentally crawls out of the helicopter, then the maiden, played by yours truly, jumps out to rescue her.
- Cool.
- What? You know none of that stuff happens in the book, right? Excuse me? Yeah.
You have the book right here.
It takes place right after the civil war.
They didn't even have helicopters then.
Wait Does Cecilia get stuck on an iceberg? Does she get attacked by tarantulas? Fall down an elevator shaft? Dodge exploding hockey pucks? Get her leg stuck in the toilet? This sounds like the best book ever! Except none of that stuff happens.
Dez! Give me that! Whoa.
Still kind of dizzy.
- Oh.
- Oh! Good.
Shelby, you're here! I got your message.
I don't know why you called.
I told you, I'm done taking violin lessons.
That's what we want to talk to you about.
Just because your sister's good at violin, doesn't mean you have to be.
Maybe you're talented at something else.
You think so? Yeah! But like, the flute! Ooh, or the guitar! Uh, maybe the clarinet? Or saxophone? What about piano? Or songwriting? I mean, there's lots of different ways to express yourself musically.
There's gotta be something here that she's good at.
Uh - Maybe I - Um Dance.
Or trumpet! Shelby, you're a really good dancer! I don't know.
I just like to dance by myself in my room when I'm bored.
You have real talent.
You have to dance at family and friends night.
Really? Do you think dancing will impress my sister? Oh yeah, it will.
Come on, let's see what you got.
I like that move.
Oh, try this one.
Yeah! How about this? I can do that.
I just Haven't stretched.
All right.
Let's shoot the scene where Cecilia gets caught in the mudslide.
Why don't you go put on your costume, then I'm gonna cover you in mud.
You know, I was thinking.
Maybe you should play the role of Cecilia in this scene.
You think? I mean, I knew I had the chops for it, but waah! Hey! Aah! Now, what if after the mudslide, Cecilia goes to a cereal factory? I don't know if that's actually in the script.
And you know what goes great with cereal? Milk.
Uh I'm starting to get the feeling that you're upset with me about something.
I was up all night reading aLonely Maiden's Journey.
None of that stuff you made me do is in that book! Oh.
That's what this is all about.
I was just trying to jazz it up to help you get a good grade.
The real book is boring.
The maiden doesn't even go on a journey.
It's 300 pages of a woman looking out a window watching crops die.
Ugh.
Dez, the journey in the book was clearly a metaphor! The crops dying symbolized the death of an ideal life that may or may not exist.
Oh.
You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you? No.
Well, there was a lot of interesting symbolism in the book, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm gonna go write a book report.
So, does that mean we're not gonna shoot the scene where Cecilia gets a 20-minute foot massage from a handsome Italian sailor? Giovanni! Oh.
You can go.
I'm sorry.
Great job, Charlie! Whoo! I want to thank everybody for coming out to friends and family night.
We have one more special musical performance this evening Shelby Hayden, with a little help from our very own Austin moon! Wow! That was so amazing! So cool! Oh, Shelby.
I've been the most talented person in this family for my entire life, and now that I've seen you dance, I still am, but I'm happy that you're a close second.
So, does this mean you liked it? Liked it? I loved it! You're an amazing dancer! I know.
I am pretty amazing.
Thanks, guys.
That was so much fun! Can we do it again? You mean right now? Maybe I'll just watch this time.
I'll take this, buddy.
This pancake is awesome! This is the greatest thing anyone has ever done for me, even though, technically, I didn't win the bet.
I know, but I want to thank you for believing in me.
And for thinking we can go fart.
I didn't get the joke, but you said "fart," so Aww.
Guess who got an "a" on her book report.
All I had to do was read the book, and then report about it.
It was so easy.
Who knew? Anybody who's ever done a book report? Oh, Trish.
I showed our video to my film class.
They loved your acting! They want you to star in our next project, "Attack of the shark-noceros".
No thanks.
I don't want to be attacked by anything else.
No.
You'd be the shark-noceros.
Okay, then I'm in!
