Austin and Ally s03e21 Episode Script

Okay, here are your strings.
I'll ring up your trombone in a sec, and yes, I'm the only one working here because my dad's too cheap to hire more help.
Guys, I've got great news.
Time for an emergency team Ally meeting.
Can't it wait? I can't just leave work whenever I feel like it.
Oh, you're serious.
No, it can't wait.
I'll cover for you, Ally.
Well, spit it out.
What's the big news? Ally's song "redial" sold so well, ramone records is moving up the release date for her debut album to next week! No way! My first album! You did it.
I'm so proud of you.
Aww.
I love that you two are a couple again.
Okay! We should throw you a record release party.
Trish, can you plan it? Oh, sure.
Plenty of time to plan a party.
It's not like like I'll be busy setting up radio interviews, in-store appearances and a photo shoot for Ally.
Great, thanks.
Wow.
I'm gonna be busy.
Between school and all this album promotion, I'm barely gonna have time for work.
Yeah, about that.
You're gonna have to quit Sonic Boom.
What? I can't quit working here.
It's either quit here or quit going to school.
Oh, you're serious.
Fine.
I'll quit Sonic Boom.
But it's gonna break my dad's heart.
Well, maybe it won't be so hard on him if you find someone to replace you.
What is Dez doing behind the counter? Hope I didn't overcharge that guy for the amp.
We sell those for $200.
Whoo, good.
I didn't overcharge him.
I sold it to him for 10.
Fish tacos for Trish, and a crab salad for my little ginger snap.
What's wrong, babe? I'm afraid I'm gonna get fired because I'm not a good waitress.
What? You're a great waitress.
Oh, you forgot the salad dressing on the side.
No, you didn't.
I need to find a new job.
If one more person asks me about the fish special, I'm gonna cry.
Hey, Carrie, how's the fish special? Okay.
Maybe I'll just get the salad.
Sorry we're late.
We just saw five movies back to back.
Since Ally's gonna be busy with her record, we're squeezing a month of dates into one weekend.
Next, we're going to a poetry reading, then to Phil's fun town to ride roller coasters.
But we shouldn't eat too much.
I don't want to yak.
You don't get sick on roller coasters.
I was talking about the poetry reading.
So, Ally, did you talk to your dad about you quitting Sonic Boom? Your album's being released next week.
Not yet.
I'm not sure how to tell him.
I'll talk to your dad.
I know I'm his favorite.
He has my picture up in his office.
That's a dart board.
But it has my picture on it.
So, Ally, let's go over a couple things about your album release party.
We're having it here at shredders, and Jett Deely from VCL is gonna interview you.
That's great, Trish.
I am gonna rock my first album interview.
I should probably give you lessons.
You have a tendency to ramble.
I don't ramble.
I mean, sometimes I talk a lot, but that's only when I'm nervous.
It started when I was a little kid.
Did you know that a baby goat is also called a kid? Oh, and a baby kangaroo is called a Joey.
Yeah You need lessons.
Hey, honey.
What do you think of my new paintings? A giraffe mowing the lawn, a giraffe playing golf, a giraffe using the atm.
What do you call this collection? "Giraffes doing people stuff.
" Huh.
I never would have guessed.
Dad, I have to talk to you.
Ooh, is it about your new album? I am so happy for you.
That's why you're such a good dad.
You're always happy for me.
Never mad at me.
Never ever mad at me.
Oh, no.
Did you wreck the car? No.
I have to quit Sonic Boom.
Oh, I am so glad to hear that.
I really thought you wrecked the car.
Wait, you're not upset? Not at all.
Now I can sell this place and focus more time on my painting.
Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.
Wait, sell the store? Yeah, I've been thinking about it for a while.
I mean, you weren't gonna work here forever.
You're too talented.
Thanks, dad.
I guess I just thought you'd never get rid of the store.
I mean, I grew up here.
I'm really gonna miss this place.
Do you want me to paint a picture of a giraffe working at the register, so you'll always remember it? No, I'll just keep my own memories.
I can't believe my dad's selling the store.
We've had so many good memories here.
I know.
Man, if these walls could talk.
That'd be weird, right? Look, Ally, we're all gonna miss Sonic Boom.
But you shouldn't be sad this week.
Your album's coming out and we're having a record release party for you.
And don't forget, you have that interview with Jett Deely.
Remember, no rambling, focus on your album, and no matter how upset you are, don't let Jett see it.
I can keep it together.
Try me.
Welcome to VCL.
I am Jett Deely here with Ally Dawson.
So, Ally Tell me about your new album.
Well, Jett, it's got a lot of great songs that I wrote here at Sonic Boom.
Which my dad is selling.
It's like he's throwing away my childhood.
Why is this happening to me? Way to keep it together.
I just think my dad's making a mistake.
Then just tell him not to sell the store.
That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna stop my dad.
Yeah.
It's not too late.
Great news, Ally.
I sold the store.
Okay, maybe it is too late.
You sold the store? Yeah.
We just have to finalize some details.
Meet the new owner, Ms.
Krum.
Oh, you must be Ally.
Aren't you just the cutest thing.
And so much smarter looking than I expected.
What do you mean by that? Oh, it's just that your father told me that you quit the store to pursue your music.
I just don't understand people who follow their childish dreams, knowing they have almost zero chance of success.
Cookie? - Mmm! - Delicious.
But are they healthy? Oh, yes! They're made with oatmeal and honey instead of sugar.
Oh, you must be the smart one.
He's not.
I don't think my music is a childish dream.
Oh, I didn't mean to offend you.
I'm just a more practical kind of person.
That's why I'm going to turn this music store into a box store.
A box store?! Look, Ms.
Krum can do whatever she wants with Sonic Boom after she buys it.
I just can't believe this isn't gonna be a music store anymore.
Ooh.
I hate music stores, dear.
My parents forced me to take piano lessons when I was a child, even though they knew I hated it.
"I like to bake, mommy!" "Shut up and play, Agnes.
" I don't want to do that to other children.
Is anybody else scared? I couldn't find a box big enough for this bass.
Why don't you use that big box? Because then I'll have nothing to put the harmonica in.
I'll just box up the instruments myself.
It's gonna be so hard saying good-bye to this place.
I know.
I wrote all my songs here.
We all became friends here.
I met Ally here.
And I met Trish here.
Do you really want to walk out of here with one hand? Some of the best times of our lives happened at Sonic Boom.
I'm not ready to say good-bye to this place yet.
Hey, why don't we have your record release party here at Sonic Boom? That way we can have one last great memory.
- Yeah.
- Good idea.
I'd like that, Trish.
But it's not gonna be our last memory here because I'm not giving up.
What can we do? I don't know, but Ms.
Krum doesn't own the store yet.
My dad said she's coming over tonight to sign the papers.
Then there's still time to convince your dad not to go through with the sale.
We can do it.
We always come through when we work together.
Yeah.
Dad, we don't think you should sell Sonic Boom.
And we're gonna put on a play to show you why.
Starting with the magical day when you first bought the store.
You know what was magical about that day? I hadn't met you yet.
It's that loving sarcasm that makes me not afraid to call you dad.
- Never call me that.
- Okay.
Places, everybody.
Showtime.
Lester, my husband, are you sure opening a music store is a good idea? I mean, we just had a baby.
Wah, wah.
I'm baby Ally.
Penny, my wife, it's too late.
I already signed the paperwork without asking you, which, years later, will cause problems in our marriage.
Oh, that's true.
That's very true.
Anyways, here's our first customer.
Thank you for the amp, Mr.
Dawson.
I know I could get a better deal over at music city, but they're closed today.
We flash forward to Ally's first piano lesson, where she shows her first signs of talent.
Wah.
Not bad for a baby, huh? Ally continues to grow as a musician and songwriter, and soon, she's the one giving lessons at Sonic Boom.
I'm Tommy.
Ally taught me how to play the tuba.
I'm Sally.
Ally taught me how to play the flute.
I'm Angus.
Ally taught me how to play these here bagpipes.
And finally, after all those years, Ally realized her dream.
Ally, my daughter, is there something you want to tell me? Dad, I got a record deal at ramone records.
My first album is coming out.
And none of that would have happened without Sonic Boom.
You convinced me.
I don't want to sell the store anymore.
Lester, I signed the paperwork.
Sonic boom officially belongs to me.
Okay, Rudy, where shall we bring in the wrecking ball? - Wrecking ball? - Yes, dear.
I'm going to demolish Sonic Boom to build my box store.
Cookie? Well, we should probably get ready for Ally's record release party.
We've only got a couple hours.
It's so hard to celebrate when I know Sonic Boom is being demolished.
Maybe it's not too late to save it.
I just need to talk to Ms.
Krum.
Mm! If you talk to her, tell her to bring over more cookies.
We're almost out.
Don't you feel bad knowing what that lady is gonna do to Sonic Boom? No.
Me either.
They're awesome.
Maybe if we just find something Ms.
Krum loves to do besides selling boxes, she won't need the store.
We just have to come up with what that is.
This is so good.
Guys, stop eating Ms.
Krum's cookies.
We can't concentrate.
That's it.
She loves to bake cookies.
I think I have an idea.
Austin, come with me.
We've got calls to make.
Trish, add Ms.
Krum to the guest list, and rent a big dessert table for the party.
- I'm on it.
- What should I do? You can help your girlfriend find a new job.
I just got fired for that.
Ohh.
Trish, you've had a job or two, where should Carrie work? Oh, fine.
I'll go through a list of all my old jobs.
Stop me if you hear one you like.

No.
This party looks great, Trish.
Thank you so much for putting it together.
Hey, when my client releases an album, money is no object.
Especially when it's the record company's money.
You ready for your Jett Deely interview? Remember what we talked about.
No rambling.
What if he asks me about you? Should I say we're a couple? I don't want this to be about me.
I want this to be about you.
Ally.
Congrats on the debut album.
So are you ready to start our interview? Oh, not yet.
I just need a sec And we're live.
So, Ally, tell us what it was like making your first record.
It was a lot of work, Jett, but I think my fans are really gonna love it.
My favorite song is "parachute," which I'll be playing here tonight.
Excellent.
Now, that song wouldn't be about anyone in particular, say your boyfriend? Oh, Jett, tonight's about my music, not about my personal life.
If my fans really want to hear what's in my heart, they can buy my album online starting tomorrow.
Good to know.
Hey, there's Ally's partner, Austin moon.
We're not partners.
We're just friends.
Sometimes we write songs together.
So I guess you could call us partners.
Just not partners partners.
'Cause like I'm not her boyfriend.
Did you know a baby goat's called a kid? Okay.
We'll be right back to see Ally perform.
What the heck was that? You should take interview lessons from her.
What can I say? Some of us got it, some of us don't.
Thank you so much for inviting me to your party, dear.
I love to watch people eat my cookies.
You know what you should do? Forget the box store and open up a food truck.
That's a great idea, Austin.
But where oh where will she find a food truck? Oh, I know.
The burger guy in the parking lot is selling his truck.
But where oh where will we find his number? Oh, I know.
I have his card.
But where oh where will she find a phone to call him with? Oh, I know.
Man.
I left my phone in my other pants.
Milk? Oh, I see what you kids are doing.
You want me to sell Sonic Boom back to Lester.
Do you think I am foolish enough to give up the security of a box store to pursue my childish dreams of selling cookies? That's what we were kind of hoping.
Well, it's not gonna work.
I will take the milk, however.
That'll go good with the cookies.
We tried.
Sorry, Ally.
Hey This is the biggest night of my life.
We shouldn't be sad.
You're right.
Come on.
It's time for you to perform.
There are a few people I want to thank for this night.
My friends, and most importantly, my dad, who always encouraged me to follow my dreams.
That was wonderful, dear.
See, Ms.
Krum? Dreams do come true.
Oh, yeah, sure.
We should all just quit our practical jobs in order to pursue our childish dreams because it feels good.
Well That's exactly what I'm gonna do! I'm going into the cookie business! - Lester! - Yeah? You can have the store back.
Now I just need someone to work here for Ally.
I've got just the person.
Right, Carrie? Oh, yeah.
Trish, I think he means you.
Maybe I should do the talking.
You got the store back.
Now it's really the happiest night of my life.
Uh So I'm just gonna go get a cookie now.
I'm really proud of you, honey.
Thanks, dad.
Sorry you can't retire to paint your giraffes.
Oh, that's okay.
I could still sell them here at the store.
Ooh, and I hired Carrie to work here while you were busy promoting your album.
You sure that's a good idea? Yeah, she knows what she's doing.
What instrument is this? It's a cash register.
I figured out how to play it.
I'm glad we got Sonic Boom back, dad.
Me too, honey.
Oh, dear! I forgot to call off the wrecking ball! Run for your lives! My giraffes! Cookie?
