Austin and Ally s04e16 Episode Script

Guys, I just found out that my Harvard interview is going to happen here, so I need to showcase my proudest achievements.
Like being runner-up in a macaroni necklace making contest when you were six? I'll put that one back in the box.
You can use my trophy.
It's for world's best son.
My dad got it for my brother.
You don't have a brother.
Aww, that makes it extra sad.
I can't believe you already have an interview.
College applications aren't due for months.
I applied for early admission.
Harvard has been my dream school since I've been little.
My mom went there, and I want to follow in her footsteps.
Well, you're a shoo-in.
You have straight A's, perfect attendance, not to mention all of your musical achievements.
Plus, you're adorable.
That junk means nothing to Harvard.
The only kid from our school to get accepted last year climbed mount Kilimanjaro, then wrote a best-seller about it, then adapted it into a movie and starred in it.
And he was waitlisted.
Ooh, I know how you can impress your interviewer.
You could invent something, like a magic box with wheels that drives you places.
A car? Oh.
Well, what about a machine that you type on that knows everything? A computer? Oh.
Well, what about something you eat that's round and filled with jelly? A jelly donut, like the one you're holding? Oh.
Well, I guess everything has been invented And you're never going to college, Ally.
Oh, hey, Trish.
I'm prepping for my Harvard interview.
Which looks smarter this one or this one? Mm, they both look dumb, because you don't need glasses.
And they don't even have any lenses.
Guys, we have some terrible news.
Are you sitting down for this? Our favorite ride is being shut down.
"The star ship.
" We used to ride it every day as kids.
Only the bravest astronauts would make it back alive.
It's the scariest, best, most exciting ride in the world, and we have to go on it again before they close it down forever.
Come on.
Ta-dah! This is the scariest, best, most exciting ride in the world? Uh, yeah.
Whoo! I guess it was a little more terrifying when we were kids.
I guess it was a little bigger too.
It must have shrunk.
Astro-Austin and astro-Dez blasting off! Whee! Whee! Whee! Whee! Whee! My interviewer will be here any minute, and I'm trying to make a list of my accomplishments.
Why isn't this pen working? Because it's a carrot.
I'm freaking out.
Interviews are easy.
Just make up a bunch of stuff about yourself that sounds good.
That's what I always do.
But I don't want to lie.
It's not lying.
It's just saying stuff that isn't true.
How do you think I always get hired? I don't speak mandarin, I can't type 200 words per minute, and I certainly don't work well with others.
Ally? You must be miss Jackson.
Please, you can call me Sydney.
Great.
And you can call me Ally.
Oh, you already did.
Look at us, bantering.
So, Ally, tell me about yourself.
How long have you been playing music? Since I was two.
No, 35.
No, kangaroo.
Wait, that's not even a number.
Sorry to interrupt, but Ally's lifetime achievement award from the vice president just arrived.
Do you want me to hang it up with the rest of your lifetime achievement awards? Wow.
A lifetime achievement award, and from the vice president.
Well, not the vice president vice president.
More like the vice vice president Of Florida.
Now please, Trish, no more interruptions.
So, Ally, tell me about your music factory.
So I know you said no more interruptions, but the Einstein foundation is on the phone with an emergency math problem that only you can solve.
Hello, Einstein foundation.
Hmm, well, the answer is obviously 39.
No, you're the smartest.
No, you're the smartest.
No, you're the smartest.
No, you're the smartest.
You know what, Austin? You should apply to Harvard.
You really think I'd have a chance of getting in? Oh, not the Harvard Ally's applying to.
I mean "Harvvard" with two "v's.
" It's an online college.
They'll take anyone.
Dez, I don't want to think about that.
Let's just enjoy the time we have left on the star ship before it closes forever.
You're right.
Just think of all the little kids who won't be able to make happy memories on this ride.
Yeah, like us.
We want to make some happy memories.
Scram, you! We called dibs.
Hey, remember when we made that best friend adventure challenge, to see if we could ride this thing 100 times in a row? Some of us have never even ridden it one time.
Of course I remember.
We never made it through.
Something always got in the way, mostly our bedtimes and the fact that you always missed your mommy.
Now is our chance to make it to 100 before they close the ride forever.
Great.
I came prepared.
Starting now.
Here we go.
Ride number one.
Whee! Whee! Whee! Whee! Whee! Whee! Okay, almost there.
Ride 99.
I'm not gonna make it.
We can do it.
We're so close.
Dez, Dez, are you okay? Maybe that second burrito at lunch wasn't a great idea, or the third.
I'm sorry.
We came so close, but I ruined everything.
It's okay, astro-buddy.
We can do it again tomorrow.
Guess whose best friend got accepted to Harvard? I got accepted into Harvard? That's wild.
I didn't even apply.
I'm talking about Ally.
Well, we don't know I got accepted yet.
I just got my decision letter.
Yeah, but it's the big envelope.
What's the big envelope mean? The big envelope means that there's a welcome packet inside, which means you're accepted.
The small envelope means that there's no welcome packet inside, so that's a rejection.
I got the big envelope, so That's great.
I wanted to be with you guys when I open it, so we could celebrate this moment together.
Well, what are you waiting for? Open it.
Open it, open it, open it, open it, open it, open it, open it, open it.
Okay, okay.
Maybe there's a big envelope inside the small envelope? I got rejected.
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Ooh.
Poor Ally.
Getting into Harvard was her dream.
Apparently the admissions office said her interview didn't go well, which is hard to believe, because we told some pretty great lies.
Well, Ally's always gotten everything she wanted the perfect grades, the perfect career, the perfect man.
Something had to burst her bubble eventually.
Okay, now this is weird.
Ally's never been late to class before.
Ally.
Good.
You're here.
The teacher was just about to collect our homework.
Yeah, I didn't do it.
Ha-ha.
Very funny.
I'm being serious, dude.
I didn't do the homework.
Trish, what's happening? I'm scared.
Okay, dude, you dudes all need to chillax.
Do you feel okay? I feel better than okay.
I feel, uh, buh-doo-buh-doo.
Buh-doo-buh-what? Saying words that make sense is for chumps, dude.
I say "dude" now.
We noticed.
Ally, this isn't you.
It's the new me.
The old me who set goals and got good grades, only to have her dreams dashed that girl is gone.
And new Ally is gonna sit at The back of the class.
But you always said the back of the class is for no-good-nicks and ne'er-do-wells.
This is not good.
I don't know.
I kind of like this new Ally.
What? Go ahead and teach, dude.
Whee! Whee! What's wrong? Why aren't you saying "whee"? I'm worried about Ally.
Eh, she'll be fine.
And we have bigger fish to fry, like finishing our best friend adventure challenge of 100 rides in a row.
We've been here so long, I think I've lost track.
What number are we at? I thought I told you to scram, kid.
Wait.
That means we passed 100.
We did it.
Best friend adventure challenge accomplished.
And nine.
So, now what? You could get off the ride and give someone else a turn.
But then we'll never see it again.
What if we make a new best friend adventure challenge to make sure the movers don't take this ride away? Yeah, we could attach ourselves to it.
Good thing I brought this industrial strength glue a classic protester move.
You've got to be kidding me.
You guys are the worst.
Let's see 'em get us off this ride now.
Yeah.
Maybe we should have checked the weather before we did this.
Don't worry, buddy.
I've got an umbrella.
It came with the tropical smoothie I got earlier.
Ally, you can't hide up here all day.
We have a music factory to run, and I can't keep covering for you.
I've already skipped two naps today.
Why would anyone want to take lessons from a loser like me? You're not a loser.
But, ugh, what is that smell? Old pizza and dead dreams.
Ally, I know this might sounds crazy, but maybe lying isn't always a good thing.
I'm not mad.
I'm the one who messed up, but I don't feel bad about it.
You don't? Well, good.
Here, I got you this book.
It lists every college in America.
Did you know there's another Harvard, spelled with two "v's"? And you don't even need an application, just a credit card.
Trish, you don't get it.
The point is Harvard is just one college.
It's not that big a deal.
Exactly.
College isn't that big of a deal.
Which is why I've decided not to go to college at all.
But, Ally I changed my mind.
Oh, thank goodness.
You're gonna apply to college? No, I changed my mind about how much pizza I'm gonna eat this afternoon.
- Hey, Ally.
- Oh, you got us pizza? No, this box is empty Like my life.
I'm on my way to return all my library cards.
Now that I'm not going to college, what's the point of reading? Okay, see ya.
Wait, say what now? Ally, seriously, wait.
I can't chase you.
I'm glued to this rocket.
What? I know it sounds crazy, but what you're doing is even crazier.
What's going on with you? Ever since I got rejected from Harvard, everything seems pointless.
What's the big deal about Harvard anyway? Just because it's the best school in the country doesn't mean it's that great.
Going to a college like that is a life-changing experience.
But isn't your life already great? You've got your music career, the factory, me.
Isn't that pretty good, especially the me part? It is.
I guess I just got obsessed with trying to be the kind of person Harvard would think is special.
But you are special.
Each of us is a star that takes our own special journey.
Austin, when did you get so deep and insightful? Oh, I was just reading that sign.
That makes more sense.
You know, I can't keep fooling myself.
I still love school, and I still want to go to college.
It's time to get back to what's important to me.
Thanks for helping me see that, Austin.
Aww.
Okay, Ally, time for you to go.
I'm gonna go wash my hair and change into some clothes that don't smell like pizza.
I think maybe talking about college has us all a little freaked out.
Maybe that's why we're hanging out on this ride so much.
Duh.
This ride is a metaphor symbolizing our fear of growing up.
Seeing Ally go forward into adulthood, represented by college, caused us to regress into childhood, represented by this juvenile ride.
What? Ally's not the only smart one.
We should get off this thing, Dez.
We've had our fun.
Yeah, we can't hold onto our childhoods forever.
It's time we blossom, like two cocooned butterflies, into grown-up, brave butterfly men.
How are we gonna get off this ride? Our pants are still stuck.
Goodbye, childhood.
Goodbye, pants.
- Hey, guys.
- I'm not crying.
You're crying.
You finally got off the ride? Yep.
You know you left your pants on it, right? Yep.
This is astro-Austin and astro-Dez, signing off.
Here, astro-little-boy.
You deserve this.
Best ride ever, right? Totally worth the wait? Eh, not that great.
I'm rich! I can't believe I got so turned around in the college admissions process that I forgot how important the music factory is to me.
And I'm glad I'm teaching kids, instead of trying to act like one.
Bubbles.
Miss Jackson, what are you doing here? Well, your friend Trish sent me these letters from your music students.
I may not have met the real Ally during our interview, but these letter have given me a glimpse of who you really are.
Trish, you did this? Yep.
"Dear Ally, " thank you for always believing in me.
"I want to be just like you when I grow up.
" "Ally is the prettiest, bestest, "smartestest teacher in the world.
" Aww, isn't that the cutestest? Look, I am sorry about that interview.
I should have stuck to talking about the things that I've actually done, because that's what I'm really proud of.
You know, you look just like my aunt ruthie, but people must tell you that all the time.
Ignore him.
He's a doof, and people tell him that all the time.
Anyway, Ally, you have turned your dreams into a flourishing career, and now you help others achieve their dreams with your school.
This makes you a very special young woman.
Thank you.
Which is why I'm here now.
I'd like to offer you a do-over on your interview.
Really? - Mm-hmm.
- Wait, right now? Because I didn't have any time to prepare.
Maybe that's a good thing.
Are you sure you're not my aunt ruthie? Because you have the exact same whiskers.
Hey, guys.
What's up? Uh Your decision letter from Harvard came.
Sorry, it's the small envelope.
You know what? It's okay.
I was honest in the interview, and I did my best.
Harvard or no Harvard, I'm proud of myself.
I got in! I got in! I'm going to Harvard! - That's incredible.
- I'm so proud of you.
Guys, I have the most amazing news.
We do too.
Ally got into Harvard.
Oh, that's pretty good news, but my news is even better.
Remember how sad we were that they were closing the star ship? Well, guess what.
They weren't closing it.
They were just moving it.
Really? After all that? They moved it right outside the music factory.
Whoo! Awesome! I mean, we're grown-up men who don't care about kiddy rides anymore.
Oh, yeah.
We've blossomed into beautiful, manly butterflies.
Maybe one little ride wouldn't hurt.
Yes! Astro-Austin and astro-Dez are blasting off.
What do you say, astro-Trish? Want to ride into space? Why not, astro-Ally? Hey, kid, give me back those quarters! Never!
