I Didn't Do It (2014) s02e16 Episode Script

Drum Beats, Heart Beats

Good luck at the dentist.
I'll miss you.
Aw.
You're the best boyfriend ever.
I'll get you some floss.
And a pamphlet about gingivitis? Did I ruin it? Little bit.
Oh, hey.
Logan.
There's something I've been wanting to ask you.
Okay.
It's kind of a big thing.
What is it? Well, what I wanted to know was if I break up with Owen, will you be my boyfriend? Forever? Yes! Yes! Oh, yes! Wow.
I didn't think you'd be that excited about teaching me to play the drums.
I'm sorry.
What? I asked if you'd give me drum lessons.
What did you think I said? Uh that-that's what I heard.
I'm just super-excited about stuff lately.
Okay.
Hey, want to go to Rumblejuice? Yes! Yes! Oh, yes! See? Hey, Linds, do you remember when you were in that scene I wrote for my drama class? Of course.
No one forgets being in "The Theater!" Oh, right.
I forgot you like to say that.
Anyway, now I'm doing a puppet show for some kids.
You want to be in it with me? Absolutely! I mean, we had so much fun last time.
That's because we make such a great team.
It'll be a collaboration.
Ooh! I love collaborating.
Especially with another person.
That's usually how it works.
Deels, may I just say that I am thrilled to be back in "The Theater!" Well, it's not really "The Theater.
" It's just a puppet show.
Okay.
"The Puppet Theater!" Oh, boy.
Garrett, there's a new employee starting tomorrow named Shelly.
You're gonna train her.
Really? You want me to train someone? Does that mean I'm getting a promotion? No.
Am I getting a raise? No! So I get nothing? Okay, fine.
I'll add five minutes to your break.
But I don't get a break.
You do now.
Unfortunately, we just talked through the first one.
Well, at least I have something to look forward to tomorrow.
Oh.
You thought you were gonna get a break every day? That's so cute.
Wow! That was amazing! Am I gonna be able to do that after the first lesson? Actually, the goal of the first lesson is to sit on the stool without falling off.
It's harder than it looks.
Whoa.
You're a natural.
I have to confess, I've sat before.
All right, let's get started.
So here are your sticks.
Hold them comfortably, not too tight.
Just pretend there's a small bird in your hand.
Now hit the bird's head on the snare drum.
All right, now do the other bird.
Good.
Good.
Now I'm gonna teach you a basic drum exercise.
It's called a paradiddle.
Shouldn't I learn one diddle first before I attempt a pair? That's called a rim shot.
You do that after someone makes a bad joke.
And I deserved that.
So pa-ra-did-dle, pa-ra-did-dle.
Okay, now you try.
Pa-ra-did-dle, pa-ra-did-dle.
Not bad.
Not good either.
Let's try it together.
Pa-ra-did-dle, pa-ra-did-dle.
Good.
Now you say it.
Pa-ra-did-dle, pa-ra-did-dle, pa-ra-did-dle.
How is it? Couldn't be better.
Pa-ra-did-dle, pa-ra-did-dle, pa-r-did-dle And this is the counter area, Shelly, the nerve center of Rumblejuice.
It's where Betty usually screams at you.
That's where the nerves come in.
Garrett, before we go on, I want to tell you I really look up to you.
You do? Oh, yes.
When I came in for my interview, I noticed how gracefully you were mopping up puke by the bathroom.
And then you puked, and you mopped that up too it was so inspiring.
It's what I do.
All right, let me share a couple of things about fruit prep, starting with bananas.
Now, the best way to peel a banana is from the bottom.
Wow! You are like a fruit genius! Genius? I don't know.
Wizard, yeah.
Expert, of course, and master, sure.
But genius? I guess so.
Hi, Garrett.
Howie.
I got your usual.
One sugar-free peach smoothie.
Sugar makes me climb the walls.
He's not kidding.
He climbed the wall once.
That'll be three dollars.
Oh, man, I forgot my money.
Don't worry about it.
I got you covered.
You can pay me back next time.
Thanks, Garrett.
See ya.
Howie's a regular, so I know he's good for it.
No wonder the customers love you.
Love? I don't know.
Like, yeah.
Respect, of course.
Admire, sure.
But love? I guess so.
Hey.
I was gonna ask you, can I stay here this weekend? My dads are going out of town.
Yeah.
Where are your dads going? To Indiana.
They love their NASCAR.
Oh, let me show you the puppets.
Oh ho ho ho! Aah! They are so adorable! A cat and a mouse.
At the store I had to rip them out of the hands of a screaming five-year-old.
Well, she just wanted to play with them.
I'm making art.
Oh, so I went over your script last night, and I have a few tiny thoughts.
Oh.
Happy to hear them.
This is a collaboration.
Awesome! Okay, so, I think it's great that Molly Mouse and Katie Cat are always happy and hugging each other.
Yeah, I was just wondering, shouldn't there be some conflict? Actually, the theme of the show is "The Importance of Getting Along.
" Oh, got it.
Got it.
Yeah, it's just that all dramas have to have conflict or you don't have a story.
The ancient Greeks, Shakespeare even modern day plays have conflict.
So your first tiny thought covers the entire history of the theater.
Well, kids are a lot smarter than people give them credit for.
We shouldn't talk down to them.
Kinda have to talk down to them.
They'll be sitting on the floor.
So what else you got? Okay, well, uh, the whole cat-and-mouse thing.
We've seen it a million times.
Because it always works.
Have you ever seen a cartoon? Yeah, but even in the cartoons the cat's always gonna win, unless the mouse has a frying pan.
I wish I had a frying pan.
Deels, all I'm saying is instead of a cat and a mouse, how about a cat and a squirrel? Why does a squirrel make it better? Why does a mouse make it better? Because those are the puppets I have.
Wow.
Jazz, can I just say I am an amazing teacher.
Hey! I'm kidding.
You were awesome.
Huge improvement after only two days.
Thanks.
Oh, listen, Owen and I want to go to the library, so could we end the lesson a few minutes early? Sure.
So how's it goin' with you two? Really well.
He's such a great guy.
Good, good.
Well, we don't want to talk about him all day, so Let's try that beat again.
Sure.
This time I'm gonna add in some drum fills so you get an idea of where you'll be in a couple of weeks.
Great.
One, two, three, four.
Yes! Whoo Ohh! Owen.
Hey! Hey.
I-I fell off the stool, and Logan caught me.
It's my fault.
I thought she was ready to go without the seatbelt.
Good one.
Ready to go? Sure.
Uh, thanks for the lesson.
Yeah.
Hey, keep practicing.
Betty, have I thanked you for giving me the opportunity to work here? Only about every five minutes.
Well, thank you again.
It's the best job ever.
I appreciate your good attitude.
I don't get it, but I appreciate it.
Yeah.
And Garrett's been great.
He's taught me all kinds of stuff.
How to cut the fruit, how to clean the blenders, and how if the customers don't have money, we let them have smoothies for free.
Wait a minute.
Say that last one again.
I said we let the customers have smoothies for free.
Stop saying that word.
What word? "Free.
" Are you sure that's what Garrett said? He didn't just say it, I saw him do it.
Yesterday some kid didn't have money, and Garrett said, "That's okay," and gave him a word-I'm-not-supposed-to-use smoothie.
Well, thank you, Shelly, very much for the information.
You did good.
I hope I didn't get Garrett in trouble! Sure is a beautiful day, Molly Mouse.
Yeah! Sure is, Katie Cat! What do you feel like doing, best friend? Whatever you want, old pal.
Hey, someone's coming! Someone's coming? But we're the only ones here.
Are we? Hi, boys and girls! I'm Scottie Squirrel! Uh, hi, Scott, nice to meet you.
What are you doing? I'm making the show better.
Hey, kids, wanna see me go nuts? Yeah.
I said, do you wanna see me go nuts?! Yeah! Whoo! Ha ha ha ha ha! Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi! Okay.
Thanks for stopping by, Scottie.
See ya.
Oh, no! But the kids love Scottie! Why don't I go? Bye! Hey, kids, who wants to hear Scottie sing a song? Yeah! The kids don't want to hear music.
Especially squirrel music.
So? I wanna sing but you don't want me to.
Kids, this is what's called "conflict.
" You want "conflict"? I'll show you some "conflict.
" Ow! Hey! Back off, cat! Don't push me, uninvited squirrel! Haaaai-ya! It's not a musical! Is it now!!! And that's our story of how to get along.
Listen, can I ask you something? Sure.
You and Logan is there anything I should know? What do you mean? I-I was just wondering if there's something more between you two than just being friends.
No.
I mean, I used to have a tiny crush on him, but that's ancient history.
And I should know, because I'm getting an A in Ancient History.
You sure? Yes.
I'm getting A's in all my classes.
Don't worry.
Logan's my friend.
And drum teacher.
That's all.
You're my guy.
Good.
'Cause I smuggled you a tiny tube of toothpaste from the dentist office yesterday, and I don't want to waste it on just a friend.
You wanted to see me? I want to ask you something.
Have a seat.
Do you like me? Uh Dare.
We're not playing Truth Or Dare.
Now answer the question.
Do you like me? Well, sometimes I do.
And then sometimes, I You're a complicated person.
I like you.
In fact, I kind of think of you as the awkward son I never had.
Okay.
Thanks.
Great talk.
Wait.
We're not done.
I want to know why my awkward son is stealing from me! What?! I'm not stealing from you! Really? Shelly told me you're giving out free smoothies to customers who can't pay! Did she also tell you that I'm using my own money to pay for those smoothies until they pay me back? No.
She left that part out.
Why are you buying people smoothies? Not everyone, just a few of our loyal customers.
I mean, someone around here needs to make them feel special.
You don't think I make my customers feel special? The cup is empty! The smooothie is gone! Buy another one or get out! Now, where were we? I can't believe you think I would steal from you, Betty.
I just got some bad information.
But I should have known better.
I'm I'm sorry.
Thanks.
I know how hard it is for you to apologize.
I've never said it before.
I didn't like it.
But I don't get it.
Why would Shelly try to get me in trouble? Why don't you ask her? Right before you fire her.
You want me to fire her?! You have to.
She tried to take you down.
She can't be trusted.
Wow.
I-I'm honored that you'd ask me to do this.
Especially since I know how much you enjoy firing people.
It gets me up in the morning.
And I just want you to know I'll never doubt you again.
Thanks.
That means a lot to me.
Oh, and this little talk? Counts as your break.
See, this what I meant by "complicated.
" Deels? Deels, how long are you gonna stay mad at me? Hey, Delia I know you won't accept Lindy's apology, but will you accept mine? I especially don't want to talk to you.
You ruined my puppet show.
I didn't ruin it! The girl who's got her hand up my butt did! She just wanted to be as creative as you.
You have such a great imagination, and always doing original things.
She just wanted to be a part of that.
I guess it's hard sometimes having a friend as talented as me.
And modest, too.
So do you forgive her? Yeah.
I forgive her.
Because I believe in getting along with others.
Which is what the play was supposed to be about.
Oh, come on, we were having a nice moment here.
Oh, now you're tired of conflict.
I'm sorry too, Linds.
I said it was a collaboration, but I wasn't a very good collaborator.
Thanks for saying that.
Hey, I never got to finish my song! Wanna hear it now? No, thanks.
Oww! Hey.
Hey, Jazz.
- Logan! Jasmine's here! - I'll be right down.
Hey, so how are the drum lessons going? Awesome.
Logan's an amazing teacher.
Yeah, he mentioned that to me.
So I never knew you were interested in playing the drums.
Well, I've always wanted to play an instrument, and Logan makes the drums seem so fun.
And, um, that's the only reason you're spending time with him? What other reason would there be? I mean, you did have a crush on Logan for a pretty long time.
It's hard to believe those feelings just went away.
There was this one moment during our lesson yesterday where Logan and I What? It was nothing.
I'm with Owen now.
Okay.
So I guess everything worked out the way it was supposed to.
Yep.
Absolutely.
All right, here I am.
Let's get started.
I gotta go.
I'll see you guys later.
Okay, this is a big day.
Are you ready for this? Ready for what? I'm in love with you, and I want us to be together.
Forever.
What? Do you really mean that? Of course I do.
You're totally ready for your first solo.
Oh.
Uh, right.
What did you think I said? Uh, e-exactly that.
So I had a little chat with Betty yesterday.
Oh? I hope everything's okay.
Everything's fine.
It is? Couldn't be better.
Got to on a five-minute break.
Whatever.
Oh.
There was something Betty wanted me to do first.
What was it? Oh, that's right.
You're fired.
Me? What did I do?! - You tried to take me down! - Why? Why? I'll tell you why.
I wanted what you had.
The power, the seniority, the five-minute break I wanted it all.
You got greedy, sister.
That's not how the world works.
Now get out.
You're a disgrace to the lavender and khaki.
Here ya go.
Somebody just tossed their cookies in the bathroom.
Fired her one minute too early.
Dad
