Good Luck Charlie s04e20 Episode Script

Hey, Charlie.
Well, I'm about to go off to college.
So it's time to make my last video diary.
Man, it seems like just yesterday I was doing the first one of these.
(Chuckles) Spencer was coming over for a study date, and you were covered in smushed bananas.
And, uh yeah.
Now I'm packing for college.
I'm gonna have a going-away party.
And, uh I have absolutely no idea what else to say.
You know, sometimes, at this point, funny things just happen behind me.
Hey, Swiss cheese.
You know, if we were in Switzerland, we'd just call this cheese.
And sometimes they don't.
Oh, good! Here's dad.
Wow! Don't hear those words very often.
I'm trying to make my last video diary.
Wow, your last one? That's a lot of pressure.
I'm aware of that.
Ooh-hoo-hoo! Better be a good one.
I'm trying! Oh! Hey, Gabe.
He's always good for some laughs.
Say something, Gabe.
Hey.
"Hey"? That's all you got? What's going on? Teddy's trying to do her final video diary.
Wow.
Your final video diary? Ohh.
Better be a good one.
I know! Hey, Canadian bacon.

(Doorbell rings) Hi, Amy.
Come on in, Debbie.
Another mix-up by the mailman.
He gave us Charlie's "gurgles" magazine.
Oh, that's, uh That's p.
J.
'S, but thank you.
Ohh! "Good morning Denver," my favorite show.
Are you just saying that because I'm on it? (Chuckling) You're on "good morning Denver"? For real? Because I know you sometimes tend to exaggerate things just a skosh.
No, I'm on it.
Come on, you've seen it.
I do the "mama bird" segment.
Well, I only watch the important stuff, so I guess we'll never know for sure.
- Hey, uh, Rhonda.
- Yeah? What has two thumbs and likes to hit the putting green? Oh.
Well, I don't know, Phil.
What? This guy! (Both laugh) Phil! Oh, I'm gonna miss this.
Oh, that's right.
You know what? - Rhonda has a little announcement to make.
- Mm-hmm.
(Exhales) I am leaving the show to pursue a very exciting new opportunity.
You are looking at the new host Of "wake up waco!" (Phil chuckles) Oh, we're gonna miss you around here, Rhonda.
Aww.
I don't know how we'll replace you.
Well, I do.
With me! Oh, you can't be serious.
I can just see it now.
"Good morning Denver With Amy and Phil.
" Isn't it "Phil and Amy"? For now.
Well! If it isn't the free lunch bunch.
- (Laughing) - You're funny, dad.
(Chuckling) Yeah.
Not trying to be.
Emmett, is that my bathrobe? Yeah.
Mine's dirty, and Mrs.
Duncan's a little behind on the wash.
Oh.
Well.
I guess I'll have to speak to her about that.
Could you? Well, since subtlety doesn't seem to be working, let me be direct.
P.
J.
, you promised to look for a job after you graduated cooking school.
I know.
I'm off to kind of a slow start.
Have you started? No.
I promise.
Right after lunch I'm gonna get out there and find a job.
Right after lunch "yacky the duck" is on, so it'll be right after that.
Okay.
Well, Emmett, all we need is a plan for you.
Oh, I got a plan.
Seven more years of community college then it's "hello, job market.
" So I guess there's no rush to get you out of that bathrobe.
Not unless you wanna see some of your underwear.
So, do you think I'm a good girlfriend? Well, I don't have much to judge it on, but yeah.
I'm glad.
And as a good girlfriend, I want you to know if you ever need anything, I'll be there for you.
Okay.
Would you be there for me? Sure.
Great.
Grandma! He said yes! Hey oh.
Wha What's going on here?! Nice job, Lauren.
I'm so sorry.
She forced me.
Okay, what do you want? I've got a situation.
The house next door to me is for sale.
Well, that's understandable.
Anyway The family that's gonna buy it has a 10-year-old boy.
- So? - A 10-year-old boy who reminds me of you! Same evil twinkle in his eye! I can't go through another Gabe Duncan, I can't! I tell you! Okay, c-calm down.
What do you want me to do? I want you to talk to him, one devil child to another.
Tell him I'm off-limits.
Fine, I'll do it.
(Gasps) Good.
Again, I am so sorry.
Yeah, well, the next time we talk about our relationship, I'm paying attention.
- Hey, Phil.
- Hey, Amy.
Do you mind if I, uh If I sit in Rhonda's chair? Sure, knock yourself out.
(Quietly) Okay.
I'm just gonna Ohh wow.
That is really comfy.
(Chuckles) (Exhales) Almost like it was made for me.
Actually, they were made for me and Rhonda.
They measured our butts and everything.
Oh.
Cute story.
Say, I wonder whose butt they're gonna be measuring for this chair now.
Well, I don't know.
- Oh.
- We're gonna miss that Rhonda.
Are we? I mean, let's face it, Phil.
You've been carrying Rhonda for years.
Well, I don't wanna get into it, but yeah.
Knowing you, I'm sure you'll make the wise decision to promote from within.
Hmm.
Well, I hadn't thought about that.
Yeah, the question is: Who? Mean, Pilar's okay on traffic, but how is she with small talk? - (Chuckles) - Yeah.
And misty mountains is great with weather, but, um, is her brain a low-pressure system? - (Meows) - (Laughs) My goodness, Phil.
I said something catty, - and you made a cat noise.
- I did.
- (Both laugh) - I love it.
I love it! We are clicking.
We are.
Are we? We are! If only the viewers could see us.
I j I just had an idea.
Why don't you audition? - Me? - Yeah.
Well, I would say that that sounds crazy, but I know what good judgment you have.
Tell you what, I'm gonna give you an on-air tryout.
If all goes well, who knows? "Good morning Denver with Phil and Amy.
" (Exhales) It's all happening so fast.
(Chuckles) - Packing for college, huh? - Mm-hmm.
Need some help? What do you want? (Laughs) What makes you think I want something? You said "need some help?" Yeah, right.
You got me.
Of course I want something.
- What? - Your room.
Gabe! No one's getting my room.
I'm sure mom and dad are gonna leave it as is.
That's right.
It's gonna be a shrine to you, because we're all gonna miss you so much.
Look, I know you're trying to hide it, but you're gonna miss me.
No, I wont.
Aww.
Well, I'm gonna miss you! You know, I'll never forget that time when we (SIGHS) Or when we, um You know what? Before I go, let's do something together.
Does this count? - Get out.
- (Mumbles) Oh, hey, Charlie.
Whatcha doin'? I'm packing for Yale.
Need some help? You gonna leave that TV, right? "Good night, moon" And Good night to a whole bunch of other stuff.
- (Groans) - Hey, there he is! How was job hunting today? Terrible.
Every restaurant I walked into was the same thing.
As soon as the hostess finds out you're not a customer, they're not very nice to you.
"Hello, sir, can I help you?" Yeah, they don't mean it.
Well, tomorrow's another day.
I don't know, dad.
The food biz is pretty tough to crack.
Maybe I should just go back to my original dream of being a baseball player or a police guy.
Your dream from when you were four? Yes, I said my original dream.
Look, it's not supposed to be easy.
Hey, it's not like someone's just gonna knock on the door and offer you a job.
(Knocking on door) Hey hey, gravy! Hey, buddy! Hey, you need a job? - Hey, Mr.
d! - Hey.
Dude, how'd you know I needed a job? Alumni association newsletter that you graduated from cooking school.
Kwikky chikki university has an alumni association? You were only there for two days.
So we can't have a newsletter? I believe there was something about a job.
Yeah, my dad bought me my own food truck, and I need a little help.
Interested? - Mmm - Hey, he'll take it! - When does he start? - Tomorrow.
Perfect! Gravy, you have made us very happy.
It's what I do! (Exhales deeply) - Hi.
- Hi.
I'm Gabe Duncan.
I live a couple houses over.
I just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood.
Oh.
Well, thank you.
But we're not officially neighbors until after the inspection.
But if everything goes well, we'll be moving in right away.
Oh, great story.
So do you have any kids? Um, sure.
Matt, there's somebody here who wants to meet you.
- Gabe, this is my son Matt.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- (Cellphone rings) Oh.
Excuse me.
I have to take this.
Hello? So, how you doin', Matt? - (Chuckles) - Okay.
Good.
Now tell me, Matt.
Do you like trouble? You know, mischief? Shenanigans? Pranks? - No.
- (Chuckles) Don't lie to me.
- Maybe a little.
- (Chuckling) Yeah, all right.
So, have you noticed the lady who lives next door, Mrs.
dabney? I guess so.
You guess not.
Hands off.
That poor beaten-down old lady is mine.
What are you talking about? Nobody pranks her but me.
I was pranking her when you were in diapers.
I was pranking her when I was in diapers.
I was kind of a prodigy.
What I'm trying to say is leave her alone.
Okay.
Is there anybody I can prank? Yeah.
Sure, man.
I don't wanna tie your hands.
Okay, Mr.
duggan across the street He does not have caller I.
D.
Use that as you will.
You're not gonna have any? No, ma'am.
Maybe I'll have a bite of yours.
So What flavor you gonna get? Vanilla.
Or Strawberry? Or Chocolate? Chocolate! If you insist.
Uh, excuse me? Spencer?! Why is everyone always so surprised to see me? What are you doing here? Yeah I'm gonna give you a minute to take in the uniform.
I mean, I thought you were in Boston.
Actually, I've been in Denver all summer.
I'm going back to school next week.
Why haven't you come by the house? Well, you know, Teddy and I Oh, right.
You two aren't Talking very much anymore.
Yeah.
So how's she doing? I'm getting her room! (Laughs) She's going to Yale.
Really? Oh-ho, good for her.
I knew she'd get in.
And, uh, the room thing has not been decided, little lady.
It's a girl's room.
Just saying.
So, is Teddy still dating that guy? You know, the one with the, uh, hair and the fake smile? - Beau? - Yeah.
Yeah, that was his weird name.
No.
No.
He went back to Tennessee.
Oh.
Too bad.
Yeah, Teddy's doing okay with it.
I'm still struggling.
Well, here she is.
- What do you think? - "The gravy boat.
" You get it? 'Cause I'm gravy.
(Chuckles) Why the "boat" part? - Oh, 'cause we serve fish - Ohh.
- with gravy.
- Oh! Yeah, flounder with gravy, Halibut with gravy, COD with gravy.
Our slogan is: "If you like fish, we got it covered In gravy!" Dude, I'm not sure about this concept.
Oh, come on.
There's nothing else out there like this.
There may be a reason for that.
It sounds kinda gross.
No no, you're just not used to it yet.
I mean, hey, they first time someone put eggs and bacon on a plate together, I'm sure people were like, "what?! Eggs come from chicken, bacon comes from pig.
I mean, this is chaos on a plate!" I don't know, man.
Fish and gravy? Okay, what if we call it "fish 'n' gravy"? Well, I do like things with "'n'" in the middle.
All right, I'm in.
First, we gotta go to the store, pick up a few key supplies.
- Like what? - Fish and gravy.
- Hey, dad.
- Hey.
Oh! Guess who I ran into at the yogurt store? - Hmm? - Spencer! Really? He's back in Denver? Asked how you were doing.
He did? Wha so, um So how did he say it? Like he was just being polite or like he really wanted to know? Uh, I'm I'm not sure.
Well, dad, did he say it like, (cheerily) "How's Teddy doing?" Or (intensely) "How's Teddy doing?" I don't know.
I'm barely paying attention to this conversation.
Look, sweetie, if you wanna know, go talk to him.
(Laughs) Dad, I can't do that.
The last time he saw me, he said he didn't wanna be friends anymore.
Ahh, maybe he's changed his mind.
That's what I want you to find out.
- Me? - Yes.
Tomorrow I want you to go back to the yogurt store and invite him to my going-away party.
- Okay.
- Hold on.
When you invite him, you cannot say that it was my idea.
Okay? That way, if he says no, you're the one who invited him, so it looks like you got rejected.
But if he says yes, and then you can tell him that I asked you to ask him, okay? I better write this down.
(Zapping on TV) Remember when you asked me if I was a good boyfriend? I believe the answer has been confirmed.
(Chuckles) You talk to that kid? Oh, yes, the situation has been dealt with, and I think I deserve a little reward.
You want me to let you win this game? It's better when you don't say it.
You know, I really do appreciate it.
If my grandma's happy, I'm happy.
Mrs.
dabney: Help! Help! Oh my gosh! That's her, come on! Mrs.
dabney yelling for help used to be such a happy sound.
Finally! What happened? This happened! That kid from next door put glue on my chair.
You said you were gonna take care of this.
I thought I did.
The little weasel lied right to my face.
What's wrong with kids today? Stop talking and get me out of this thing.
What do we do? Well, if I know my glue (Chuckles) And I do Then you need to go to the hardware store and get some solvent.
All right, sit tight.
(Laughs) "Sit tight.
" Oh, that's pretty good.
Come on.
- Just go already.
- Okay.
How did that kid know I was gonna sit in this chair? What if I sat in that one? Devil child! Help! (Groaning, grumbling) I need your help.
Well, I'm not a psychiatrist, but I'll see what I can do.
Look, I don't have time to trade insults with you today.
Okay? I have a very important audition to be the co-host for "good morning Denver.
" (SIGHS) Why don't we start by talking about your mom? (Exhales) I'm serious.
Look, now the key to this job is to look interested when Phil is telling one of his boring stories.
Now that's where you come in.
I want you to tell one of your boring stories and I'll react as if it's interesting.
I happen to think my stories are interesting.
And now so will I.
Okay, so go ahead.
Just talk about anything and I will throw in some co-host banter.
- (Chuckles) - Okay.
Ho-ho.
Well I guess I could talk about tea.
Tea! (British accent) A favorite beverage of all friends across the pond it is.
I wouldn't do the accent.
(Normal voice) Okay okay, tell me more about tea.
Well, I like to sip my tea, but I don't like it to get cold.
So what I do is I preheat the cup.
(Incredulously) Preheat the cup? I'm on the edge of my seat.
That's all I got.
That's all you got? You say that as if it weren't enough.
Oh! (Laughs) Debbie! You are priceless.
Okay, I need you to tell me a sad story so I can work on my sad face.
Something sad.
Okay, well (Gasps) Deedee won a goldfish at the county fair But it didn't last too long.
What happened to it? The cat ate it.
(Gasps) Oh my (Sobs) (Sniffles) (Voice breaking) It's the circle of life.
Sunrise, sunset.
(Composed) We'll be back right after this short break.
(Bell jingles) Oh, hey, Mr.
Duncan.
Hey, Spencer.
Uh, listen.
We're having a little going-away party for, uh, Teddy tomorrow night, "and, uh, I was wondering if you wanted to come by.
That's my idea, not hers.
She doesn't know I'm here.
Has no idea I'm inviting you.
" And a large chocolate with sprinkles.
I'm sorry, what was that? Okay, you know what? Let's just start with the important stuff Large chocolate with sprinkles, please.
So you want me to come to Teddy's party? Yeah.
Me.
Not her.
Un unless of course you say yes.
And then, I don't know I guess the whole thing's different.
I don't know.
Let me think about it.
All right.
Well, I understand.
You and Teddy have been through a lot.
You know, you gotta look down deep into your heart and fig Seriously, dude, that's all the sprinkles you're gonna give me? Oh oh! Finally our first customer.
Uh, actually, that's my girlfriend.
And I had to beg her to come here.
Thanks, skyler.
Ahoy, Matey! Welcome to the gravy boat.
Fish with gravy? You owe me.
(Mouths) Would you like to try our special today? The mystery fish? Ooh! What's the mystery fish? We forgot when we put the gravy on.
I'll try the Halibut with gravy.
Here you go.
Uh, what's wrong? Well, I like the fish And I like the gravy.
I'm just not sure I like the two together.
Oh.
Well.
I like p.
J And I like you.
I'm just not sure I like the two of you together.
Oh, gravy, come on.
Admit it.
It's a terrible idea.
What? We don't belong together? No.
No no no.
Fish and gravy.
Guys, come on! How bad could it possibly be? Okay, yeah.
It's pretty bad.
What are we gonna do now? Well, I don't know what you're gonna do, but I'm outta here! Abandon ship! What?! You're the captain now.
You're giving me your truck? What are you gonna tell your dad? Same thing I told him when he got me a plane: "I lost it!" Gravy out! (Doorbell rings) What do you want? I thought I told you hands off Mrs.
dabney.
I don't have to listen to you, old man! You're past your prime.
What are you, 13? Then go take a nap, grandpa.
(Exhales) Look, all I'm asking is that you leave Mrs.
dabney alone.
Once I move in, I'm gonna do whatever I want to whoever I want and there's nothing you can do to stop me! Yeah, well, in this neighborhood you're not welcome, Matt.
(Chuckles) Get it? Welcome mat.
Lame! That was lame! Man, I've lost it.
But I'm gonna get it back.
Hear that?! Getting it back! Now I'm talking to a door.
What happened to me?! Hey, Charlie.
Last video diary.
Here we go.
Oh, um, actually, before I get to the big piece of wisdom that'll summarize the last four years, there's just one little thing that I wanted to mention.
So dad ran into Spencer at a yogurt store and he may or may not be coming to my farewell party.
Interesting, right? (Chuckles) Anyway, that said, the big wisdom is Wait, why wouldn't he say yes or no? Why "maybe"? Okay, I'm sorry.
I got distracted, the big message is I need to know if he's coming to the party.
Dad! On tomorrow's show I'm gonna start with a funny story about you kids.
Okay.
But mom, just don't forget to listen.
Oh, thanks.
I just got it.
Is she okay? (Chuckles) Charlie, it's mom.
Of course she's not okay.
Teddy, I know I'm focused on the show, but I want you to know that I'm really looking forward to your going-away party.
Thanks, mom.
I can't believe it's the last time I'm gonna see everybody before I go off to college.
It's the last time everyone will see me before I become a giant international media celebrity.
Mom, you have an outside chance to be the second banana on a third-rate local TV show.
Isn't it exciting? Okay, dad.
You can look now.
Gravy's food truck.
Wondered what that smell was.
It's not gravy's anymore.
It's mine.
- What? - Yeah.
He gave it to me.
Isn't that amazing? I got it for free! Well, what are you gonna do with it? Make it my own.
All I need are two things: A new concept and a wise investor.
Oh, p.
J.
, I don't know.
I just need a little help getting started.
- Food trucks are hot right now.
- Yeah.
I mean, I've seen them with Mexican food and Korean, lobster rolls Are you as hungry as I am right now? What do you say? Let's do it! - Yes! - (Both chuckle) All right, I'll be your partner.
Okay.
Now as your partner, I think the first thing we should do is roll down the windows and take this bad boy out on the highway.
Air out the fish and gravy? Air out the fish and gravy.
Okay, let's review.
You were supposed to go next door and talk to that devil child and you failed! Horribly! Well, you ended up glued to a chair, so it wasn't a total loss.
We just need a plan to keep him and his family from buying that house.
Well, if knowing that you're their neighbor isn't enough, I'm not sure what else to do.
Well, think of something.
(SIGHS) Okay.
Well (SIGHS) Come on, Gabe.
We just need an evil plan.
This is where you shine.
I know, I know! Stop pressuring me.
Just go crazy.
Nothing is too evil.
I can always pull you back.
I usually plan this kind of stuff behind your back.
You're making me nervous.
I'll turn around.
That certainly can't hurt.
See?! You can still think of insults.
Insults are easy.
I mean, look at you! Stop that! Dad, I got it! - Got what? - The concept for the food truck.
Two words: Peanut butter and jelly.
Oh.
Wait, that's four words.
Although peanut butter might be hyphenated.
Do you have a dictionary? Wait a minute.
Peanut butter and jelly? That's it? No.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Meets? With meats? - That will be terrible.
- No.
Peanut butter and jelly meets something else.
No.
Just peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
That's all.
It's simple.
Perfect.
P.
J.
, I'm not shelling out big bucks for a p.
B.
And j.
Truck.
I thought you said you believed in me.
I do.
I do.
I I just don't believe in peanut butter and jelly.
Well, that's who I am, dad.
Why don't you think about French food? You're really good at that.
No, French food isn't my vision.
No, but it could be our vision.
With all due respect, dad, just write the checks and leave the creative to me.
Your ideas aren't that good.
Where's the respect in that? Well, dad, if you say "with all due respect" you can say whatever you want.
Don't you know anything about running a business? With all due respect.
I think it's a mistake to jump on the very first idea.
It wasn't the first idea.
Peanut butter was the first idea! Jelly came to me in a dream! (Pop music playing quietly) - Hey, Teddy.
Hi.
- Oh, hi! Oh, I'm so glad you guys are back together.
You're like the yin to each other's Yang.
Oh, I don't know what yin is.
And I don't know what Yang is.
Exactly.
Hey, vonnie.
Oh, hey, Teddy! One of the more rockin' parties I've been to, I gotta say.
(Laughs) Do you go to a lot of parties? Uh, no, ma'am, I do not.
(Laughs) Oh, Victor, I'll miss you most of all.
Teddy, I'm going to Yale with you.
So I can't say my favorite line from "the wizard of oz"? Plus, it's a pretty big campus.
We might not be seeing a lot of each other.
Good.
We're on the same page.
(Doorbell rings) I'll get it! Hi.
Uh come on in.
Who's that guy? I don't know, but he's always around.
(Doorbell rings) Hey.
Hi.
I wasn't sure if you were gonna come.
Well, here I am.
I'm just glad your dad invited me.
Actually, um That was my idea.
Yeah, I kinda figured when he had to read the invitation out loud.
Spence! Glad you could make it, buddy.
Thanks, Mr.
Duncan.
Oh! Hey, the big bug's back.
Yeah, Amy's distracted.
I thought it'd be a good time to bring him out of the garage.
Bob, what is this doing here? And away he goes.
Dad.
P.
J.
Crush anyone's dreams lately? So things aren't going so great between the two of you, huh? No.
'Cause you know what he was really excited about? Being your partner.
Well, I let him give me money.
And that was very generous on your part.
But (SIGHS) Maybe he didn't wanna just write a check, you know? Maybe he actually wanted to work with you.
Do you understand what I'm saying? Because it's time for mommy to go back to thinking about her audition again.
Thanks, mom.
You're really Eh eh eh.
It's already started.
Ohhh She came from Colorado with a laptop on her knee she's moving to Connecticut a yalie she will be Teddy Duncan we're sad to see you leave we know you'll make some friends out there And one might be named Steve.
(Mouths) We ran out of time on the lyrics.
Hey, if you do make a friend named Steve, text me, 'cause that'd be so freaky.
(Laughs) (Mouths) What's all this racket over here? Having a little good-bye party for Teddy.
Is there something you wanna say to her? Yeah.
Keep it down! The noise is driving me crazy.
I'm gonna miss her.
You just gave me an idea about how we're gonna get rid of that kid.
- I knew that evil brain wouldn't let me down.
- Mm-hmm.
The original devil child is still the best.
Ha! Okay, who wants to sing next? I'd do it myself, but I'm saving my voice for my All: Audition.
Teddy and Spencer.
Wh What do you mean, Charlie? - Teddy and Spencer what? - Sing.
Ohh.
Uh, I don't think so.
Please.
Yeah, why not? You know, for old time's sake.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, come on, you guys.
Please.
Okay.
Um, what do you wanna sing? Um, how about that one song that we were gonna do for the talent show? Oh, yeah.
Okay.
(Plays slow melody) It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but, boy, if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live if I was a sculptor but then again, no or a man who makes potions in a traveling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do my gift is my song and this one's for you and you can tell everybody this is your song it may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind That I put down in words how wonderful life is while you're in the world.
Phil: Good morning, Denver! Today's guest co-host is our very own mama bird, Amy Duncan.
