Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures (2011) s01e14 Episode Script
Epic Cuffs
1
So, tomorrow night. Dinner with
my parents. You're good, right?
Uh, yeah.
Who's all about spending
time with the 'rents? This girl.
It's just, last three times you had to cancel.
I was starting to feel like
you were avoiding them.
Blake, I promise I'll be there.
Nothing's going to get
in the way this time, okay?
[alarm sounding]
Attention, people!
This is not a drill!
We have a situation!
We need to locate a Miss Kelly Peckinpaw.
I'm Kelly Peckinpaw.
You've been contaminated
by a secret formula developed by the CIA
that mistakenly ended up in this burrito.
Ha, burrito.
Wait. What are you doing? Sit down!
The girl must be quarantined for 48 hours.
48 hours? Oh, no, I have
a dinner tomorrow night.
Not anymore. We need to start
the decontamination process.
The decontamination
what? Ahh!!
Bucket?
No.
And I'm not Skinner.
Kelly
this was all an elaborate plan to
get out of dinner with my parents?
I'm sorry, but can you blame me?
How can I go back to your parents
house after what happened the first time?
It's great to finally meet you.
This looks amazing.
Oh, wait. I want a picture.
[awkward laughter]
Say cheese.
Kelly, my parents have gotten over it.
That's why they keep asking you back.
I can't. I'd feel
too self-conscious.
Well, you could have talked to me about
this, instead of putting on some huge production.
Blake, this isn't a huge production.
Ahh!
Ahh! I'm contaminated!
It's too late for me,
Kell. Save yourself!
What happened? I miss it?
I'm still getting paid, right?

Dude, check this out.
Missing cat.
No this.
Free flu shots.
No this.
Missing cat.
Talent show.
First prize.
A jet ski!
Dude, we've always dreamed
about having one of those things.
Where to, little lady?
Just drive, so I never have to let go.
Life with a jet ski would be epic.
I'm so glad I found you, missing cat.
Me too.
Lovely girl you have there, Skinner.
Another lap around the pond?
Okay, we have to win that talent show.
Have you guys seen Blake? Why?
Did you realize he may not be "the one,"
so you're gonna break up with him and find
a new chocolate-haired slice of beef cake?
No. I feel guilty
for trying to trick him,
so I'm going to make it up to him.
Oh Yay
Hey, sweetie.
How's your day?
How do you think it is, Kell?
I get it, you're still mad,
but try staying mad
at me now. Boo-ya!
It's the menu for the dinner I plan
on making your parents. Boo-ya!
This is cool. My parents are going
to love finally getting to know you.
Yeah, they are.
Boo-ya!
Please stop doing that!
[squeals]
Gather 'round.
I'm posting the teams for
our next business club project.
You'll be working in groups of three.
Let's see who I'm carrying this week.
For this project, you must
create and develop a new toy
and, are you ready for it,
present it to business mogul
R.J. Caldwell tomorrow night.
[screams]
R.J. Caldwell?
The self-made billionaire known
for making her employees cry?
She's my hero!
Mine too.
She made me cry on the phone!
As the only middle schooler in this club,
how about I fly solo on this one?
Sorry, Piper. I've already got
you on a team, and here they are.
Aloe entra!
That's Spanish for enters.
Aloe's going global.
El facto!
Aloe, you joined business club?
Papa owns a company that I'll lone day take over,
and he wants me to learn about business.
I'm very passionate about his work.
And what business is he in?
I have no idea, but he owns a jet.
The biggest project of the term
and I have to team up with these morons?
Team meeting.
All in favor of naming our team
The Handsome Aloes, say I.
-[together] I.
-No!
The motion is passed.
Who's ready to see the act
that's going to win tonight's talent show?
Ta-da!
So
Can I ring you up?
I think we need a new talent.
What else we got?
Well, I found this stuff in my gammy's attic.
Oh, cool.
A garden gnome.
No, that's a statue of my grandfather.
But this was my Uncle's old magic kit.
Your Uncle was a magician?
One of the best.
The Amazing Herb.
He was an escape artist.
He could get out of anything.
Whoa, there's a whole bunch of cool tricks here.
Guys, I've got to go. I have
a million things to do before
dinner with Blake's parents.
Watch the store.
Oh, wait, wait. Kelly, help us out here.
Skinner, let's do this trick.
Fine, just make it quick.
"This trick requires a delicate feminine wrist."
My watch makes it look small.
Then I cuff the other pair to you, Kelly.
And, finally, cuff myself to her.
Then I say the magic words
What are the magic words?
I don't know.
That page is missing.
Ohh!
We're stuck.
Well, the first half of that trick went well.
We need to come up with a toy idea so good
R.J. Caldwell will invite me
to lunch to discuss my future.
I might have a good idea.
And I might throw you off this pier
if you don't pipe down!
You ever heard of tongue depressors?
Make him stop.
During my down time,
nothing gives me more pleasure
than drawing faces on tongue depressors.
Look at her. She's a sassy flight attendant.
And who's this? Don't get
fresh with Officer O'Malley.
What goes on in that brain of yours?
Aloe has the answer to our problems.
Behold!
An Aloe doll?
The perfect toy of the perfect human.
How did you even get this made?
Turns out Papa's in the
plastic business. Who knew?
So, I cut a deal with him over a work
lunch using my mad business skills.
What did you do?
I screamed and cried and wouldn't
come out from under the table
till he did what I wanted-- Business!
Here. Squeeze his abs.
Sven, compliment my ankle socks!
Miniature tanning bed sold separately.
I can't find any answers
on how to unlock these cuffs.
Well, keep looking. Skinner,
hand me those jelly beans.
I have to make treat bags for tonight's dinner.
I got to say, Kell. I'm very
proud of how calm you're staying.
The old you would be really angry about this.
Aw, Skinner, that's sweet.
Ow!
[phone ringing]
Hello.
They'll call back.
Okay, we need out of these things.
Hey, Kell. You excited about tonight?
Blake! How's my BF?
We were just
Trying to get warm.
It's 80 degrees outside.
Yeah, but we were
Locked in a meat freezer,
where we were looking for meat,
'cause we're opening a deli.
And when we open it,
we'll have salami and olive loaf and ham.
Oh, so much ham!
Skinner!
What's going on, Kell?
Bucket and Skinner
were trying out their magic act
for the talent show,
and we got handcuffed together.
I think I may have to cancel dinner.
You're seriously trying another one
of your stunts to get out of dinner?
You know what? Tonight means a
lot to me. I really hope you'll be there.
It's not a stunt.
We cant get them off.
Fantastic.
No one worry. I'm going
to find us a way out of this.
You better. My dinner's at
6:30. What time is it now?
Ow!
5:30.
Already!
Oof!
Oh, wait.
I don't wear a watch.
I can't believe this! I should
be showing up at Blake's now.
You're not the only victim here, Kell.
We can't do the talent show either.
You're going to miss out on a jet
ski. I'm going to lose my boyfriend.
That'd be a big loss.
What's that?
I said, Blake must floss.
He's got an amazing smile.
All I know is, if I bail tonight,
Blake's never going to speak to me again.
Look, will you break up?
Possibly, but I'm willing to take that chance.
Bucket, can I speak to you alone?
Ear muffs!
Bucket, I know this whole Kelly-Blake thing
is hard for you, but this dinner
is important to her.
Well, the jet ski's important too.
Is the jet ski's heart going to
be broken if we don't pull this off?
No way of telling, because
we don't know the jet ski.
But we do know Kelly, and she needs us right now.
You're right.
Hey, we were just talking and think we know how
you can still make it to your dinner party.
Bucket, hello?
I'm handcuffed to you guys.
How could that possibly work?
Kelly, you're talking about Bucket and Skinner.
Let our genius carry the day!
[doorbell ringing]
Kelly, how Ahh!
Hi! Who's ready
for some yummy food?
Kelly, what is this?
Blake, don't be rude.
Kelly, come on in.
It is so great to see you again.
Yes. I love
your feathers.
Thank you. It's a native
ceremonial Chongo robe
from Chongo.
Interesting.
Where exactly is Chongo?
It's, umm
As you can see, I'm thinking.
Okay, I'm done thinking now!
South of Russia.
Kelly, you have a little
smudge on your cheek there.
Oh, thanks.
Did I get it?
No, other side.
Okay, okay! I should get
to cooking up our meal now.
"Where's the potty?"
I'm very shy.
Explain again
why Aloe is buying ice cream for children?
It's called market research.
Didn't your dad teach you
anything about business?
Ha, yeah, Piper, 'cause that's
what dad's are supposed to do --
Teach kids things.
We use these kids to test our product.
That way we can see what they
like and don't like about it.
The kids loved the doll, right?
Wrong. These are the test
results. They hate the doll.
[laughing]
That's ridiculous.
It says Aloe right on the box.
Look at these comments.
"He's too in love with himself."
"I can't understand
the expressions he uses."
For the love of Ashton Kutcher's bangs,
what are they talking about?
Over all, they scored the doll an F.
An F? Little people! You
have failed in your task.
You will stop eating that
ice cream you did not earn.
It's the same as stealing.
We can't present this
doll to R.J. Caldwell.
We'll be laughed out of
the room. I'm taking over.
How can they not like him?
He's me.
"There's no indoor pool in
my doll house. Buy me one!"
[laughing]
You're precious.
Oh!
Ugh!
Guys, we have to work together.
I'm sorry.
I still got to go tinkle.
Kell?
Blake's coming.
Hey, you!
Are you okay?
I just have an itch.
Ow!
All better.
What is going on?
Blake-ster!
Hello.
You guys really are handcuffed together?
What did you want me to do?
You didn't believe me.
So if I didn't come, you'd be even more upset.
I have to tell my parents. No!
This dinner was supposed to be my chance
to redeem myself, not make things worse.
Please don't tell.
Oh, this can't end well.
Kell, don't worry.
We're gonna pull this off. We
just solve one thing at a time.
And I've already solved one problem.
I no longer have to go to the bathroom.
Do I want to know how you solved it?
No, you do not.
Well, did the little thickies
get it right this time?
I've made some small
adjustments to the Aloe doll,
and listen to the feedback.
"I would definitely
buy this doll."
"Super fun."
"Not as good
as tongue depressors."
No Z in depressors, Sven.
Gimme!
They give the Aloe doll an A-plus!
Your attention, non-muscular people.
I am touched, but not surprised, by
your bottomless love of me as a doll.
Can you say,
"I'm afraid of the dark?"
What? Why would I say that?
Aren't you Scaredy Aloe?
What did he mean by "Scaredy Aloe"?
Research shows kids like
having someone to boss around.
So, I went back to your production
guys and came up with this.
Ahh!
G-rated movies make Aloe cry.
Wah!
What?
I think I just saw a ghost.
Hug me, Mommy.
Lies! Mother
never hugs!
This doll is nothing like me. Destroy it at once!
Aloe, it's just business.
Separate yourself from the product.
This is what we're presenting.
No!
You gave him sleeves?
You monster!
Oh, the food's here.
Thank goodness.
So, who's ready for a
traditional Chongolian feast?
Oh, dear.
Umm that's how
we do it in Chongo.
It's our tradition that all the
delicious food gets thrown on the floor.
Well, looks like we'll have
to do this dinner another time.
This has been fun.
I'll walk you out. No, Blake. Will you stop?
We'll just order delivery.
Plus, while we're waiting,
Kelly can play some violin.
Blake tells us you're quite talented.
Aww
You know what?
I'd love to, but I forgot my violin.
Oops!
So, should I order a pizza? Just order it.
Here, honey. You can use our family violin.
This was my grandfather's.
Always said it was the
best $10,000 he ever spent.
I guess I could try and play something.
I'll just place the violin
under my chin very carefully,
as someone who plays the violin does.
Under the chin!
[violin screeching]
You know what?
I can't do this.
Look, the truth is--
[violin playing]
Beautiful.
Bravissimo!
Unbelievable.
That was awesome!
I mean, thank you, thank you.
So
can I get in on that pizza?
And you'll note, the Scaredy Aloe
also comes with a detachable blanky.
Are you okay, Miss Caldwell?
Is the temperature to your liking?
It's fine. Stop Talking! [Crying]
So, to sum up, this prototype is
very popular with its target audience,
including your children, Miss Caldwell.
Thank you for your time.
Well done, partner, well done.
But you forget one thing
Scaredy Aloe's tiny sidekick, Lazy Piper.
Who needs money?
I'd rather sleep than work.
What is that thing? Why it's you, of course.
I love to get C's on my report card.
Oh, Lazy Piper, you sure like to settle.
That's not me!
Give me that doll!
Okay, kids, show time's over.
[crying]
This is your idea of a business presentation?
To make my children cry?
Are you two about done?
I might have something to add,
Madame Business woman.
May I present, Sven's Stick People?
That's a bundle of tongue depressors.
Better, tongue depressors with hats.
Look, Freddy the Fireman
sure is ready for the weekend.
Okay, I just have one thing to say.
This is genius.
They're cheap to make, so they'll break easily
and the kids will have to buy more.
Let's go get a decaf soy
latte and talk about your future.
I'm buying.
Hooray for business!
I can't believe I ruined another
dinner at your parent's house.
I've got to take some responsibility too, Kell.
I didn't dice the cherry tomatoes for the salad
like the recipe called for.
Feels good to get that off my chest.
If I could just say one thing--
Kelly, before you start--
No, before you start.
Kelly's an awesome girl.
Sure, she may have ruined your painting,
but anyone who would go to these lengths
to impress you is someone special.
Look, Kelly and Blake really
seem to care about each other.
They make a good couple, so you shouldn't
just kick her out. You need to get to know her.
And if they drift apart, as high
school relationships often do,
and if she starts dating someone
else, maybe someone younger
Bucket! Kelly's the best. Thanks you.
We were just going to ask Kelly
to get ice cream with us.
Ohh
Kelly, we know how difficult
it is to get to know the parents
and that you gave it a shot
under such difficult circumstances,
well, that shows real character.
Don't you think so, dear?
Hmm? Oh, sure.
Are we getting ice cream or not?
Blake, your parents like me.
Aw, this is nice.
Group hug.
[violin crunching]
This won't seem that bad after
you see what I did in the kitchen.
[violin playing]
[crowd cheering]
It's not even close.
The winners are Bucket, Skinner and Kelly!
Yes!
Nice!
Victory dance!
It's going to be awesome having a jet ski.
Whoa!
Blake just fell into shark infested waters!
Yeah, that's a shame.
---oOo---
So, tomorrow night. Dinner with
my parents. You're good, right?
Uh, yeah.
Who's all about spending
time with the 'rents? This girl.
It's just, last three times you had to cancel.
I was starting to feel like
you were avoiding them.
Blake, I promise I'll be there.
Nothing's going to get
in the way this time, okay?
[alarm sounding]
Attention, people!
This is not a drill!
We have a situation!
We need to locate a Miss Kelly Peckinpaw.
I'm Kelly Peckinpaw.
You've been contaminated
by a secret formula developed by the CIA
that mistakenly ended up in this burrito.
Ha, burrito.
Wait. What are you doing? Sit down!
The girl must be quarantined for 48 hours.
48 hours? Oh, no, I have
a dinner tomorrow night.
Not anymore. We need to start
the decontamination process.
The decontamination
what? Ahh!!
Bucket?
No.
And I'm not Skinner.
Kelly
this was all an elaborate plan to
get out of dinner with my parents?
I'm sorry, but can you blame me?
How can I go back to your parents
house after what happened the first time?
It's great to finally meet you.
This looks amazing.
Oh, wait. I want a picture.
[awkward laughter]
Say cheese.
Kelly, my parents have gotten over it.
That's why they keep asking you back.
I can't. I'd feel
too self-conscious.
Well, you could have talked to me about
this, instead of putting on some huge production.
Blake, this isn't a huge production.
Ahh!
Ahh! I'm contaminated!
It's too late for me,
Kell. Save yourself!
What happened? I miss it?
I'm still getting paid, right?

Dude, we've always dreamed
about having one of those things.
Where to, little lady?
Just drive, so I never have to let go.
Life with a jet ski would be epic.
I'm so glad I found you, missing cat.
Me too.
Lovely girl you have there, Skinner.
Another lap around the pond?
Okay, we have to win that talent show.
Have you guys seen Blake? Why?
Did you realize he may not be "the one,"
so you're gonna break up with him and find
a new chocolate-haired slice of beef cake?
No. I feel guilty
for trying to trick him,
so I'm going to make it up to him.
Oh Yay
Hey, sweetie.
How's your day?
How do you think it is, Kell?
I get it, you're still mad,
but try staying mad
at me now. Boo-ya!
It's the menu for the dinner I plan
on making your parents. Boo-ya!
This is cool. My parents are going
to love finally getting to know you.
Yeah, they are.
Boo-ya!
Please stop doing that!
[squeals]
Gather 'round.
I'm posting the teams for
our next business club project.
You'll be working in groups of three.
Let's see who I'm carrying this week.
For this project, you must
create and develop a new toy
and, are you ready for it,
present it to business mogul
R.J. Caldwell tomorrow night.
[screams]
R.J. Caldwell?
The self-made billionaire known
for making her employees cry?
She's my hero!
Mine too.
She made me cry on the phone!
As the only middle schooler in this club,
how about I fly solo on this one?
Sorry, Piper. I've already got
you on a team, and here they are.
Aloe entra!
That's Spanish for enters.
Aloe's going global.
El facto!
Aloe, you joined business club?
Papa owns a company that I'll lone day take over,
and he wants me to learn about business.
I'm very passionate about his work.
And what business is he in?
I have no idea, but he owns a jet.

R.J. Caldwell will invite me

I might have a good idea.

You ever heard of tongue depressors?
Make him stop.
During my down time,

Bucket and Skinner

I think I may have to cancel dinner.
You're seriously trying another one
of your stunts to get out of dinner?
You know what? Tonight means a
lot to me. I really hope you'll be there.
It's not a stunt.
We cant get them off.
Fantastic.
No one worry. I'm going
to find us a way out of this.
You better. My dinner's at
6:30. What time is it now?
Ow!
5:30.
Already!
Oof!
Oh, wait.
I don't wear a watch.
I can't believe this! I should
be showing up at Blake's now.
You're not the only victim here, Kell.
We can't do the talent show either.
You're going to miss out on a jet
ski. I'm going to lose my boyfriend.
That'd be a big loss.
What's that?
I said, Blake must floss.
He's got an amazing smile.
All I know is, if I bail tonight,
Blake's never going to speak to me again.
Look, will you break up?
Possibly, but I'm willing to take that chance.
Bucket, can I speak to you alone?
Ear muffs!
Bucket, I know this whole Kelly-Blake thing
is hard for you, but this dinner
is important to her.
Well, the jet ski's important too.
Is the jet ski's heart going to
be broken if we don't pull this off?
No way of telling, because
we don't know the jet ski.
But we do know Kelly, and she needs us right now.
You're right.
Hey, we were just talking and think we know how
you can still make it to your dinner party.
Bucket, hello?
I'm handcuffed to you guys.
How could that possibly work?
Kelly, you're talking about Bucket and Skinner.
Let our genius carry the day!
[doorbell ringing]
Kelly, how Ahh!
Hi! Who's ready
for some yummy food?
Kelly, what is this?
Blake, don't be rude.
Kelly, come on in.
It is so great to see you again.
Yes. I love
your feathers.
Thank you. It's a native
ceremonial Chongo robe
from Chongo.
Interesting.
Where exactly is Chongo?
It's, umm

Ha, yeah, Piper, 'cause that's
what dad's are supposed to do --
Teach kids things.
We use these kids to test our product.
That way we can see what they
like and don't like about it.
The kids loved the doll, right?
Wrong. These are the test
results. They hate the doll.
[laughing]
That's ridiculous.
It says Aloe right on the box.
Look at these comments.
"He's too in love with himself."
"I can't understand
the expressions he uses."
For the love of Ashton Kutcher's bangs,
what are they talking about?
Over all, they scored the doll an F.
An F? Little people! You
have failed in your task.
You will stop eating that
ice cream you did not earn.
It's the same as stealing.
We can't present this
doll to R.J. Caldwell.
We'll be laughed out of
the room. I'm taking over.
How can they not like him?
He's me.
"There's no indoor pool in
my doll house. Buy me one!"
[laughing]
You're precious.
Oh!
Ugh!
Guys, we have to work together.
I'm sorry.
I still got to go tinkle.
Kell?
Blake's coming.
Hey, you!
Are you okay?
I just have an itch.
Ow!
All better.
What is going on?
Blake-ster!
Hello.
You guys really are handcuffed together?
What did you want me to do?
You didn't believe me.
So if I didn't come, you'd be even more upset.
I have to tell my parents. No!
This dinner was supposed to be my chance
to redeem myself, not make things worse.
Please don't tell.
Oh, this can't end well.
Kell, don't worry.
We're gonna pull this off. We
just solve one thing at a time.
And I've already solved one problem.
I no longer have to go to the bathroom.
Do I want to know how you solved it?
No, you do not.
Well, did the little thickies
get it right this time?
I've made some small
adjustments to the Aloe doll,
and listen to the feedback.
"I would definitely
buy this doll."
"Super fun."
"Not as good
as tongue depressors."
No Z in depressors, Sven.
Gimme!
They give the Aloe doll an A-plus!
Your attention, non-muscular people.
I am touched, but not surprised, by
your bottomless love of me as a doll.
Can you say,
"I'm afraid of the dark?"
What? Why would I say that?
Aren't you Scaredy Aloe?
What did he mean by "Scaredy Aloe"?
Research shows kids like
having someone to boss around.
So, I went back to your production
guys and came up with this.
Ahh!
G-rated movies make Aloe cry.
Wah!
What?
I think I just saw a ghost.
Hug me, Mommy.
Lies! Mother
never hugs!
This doll is nothing like me. Destroy it at once!
Aloe, it's just business.
Separate yourself from the product.
This is what we're presenting.
No!
You gave him sleeves?
You monster!
Oh, the food's here.
Thank goodness.
So, who's ready for a
traditional Chongolian feast?
Oh, dear.
Umm that's how
we do it in Chongo.
It's our tradition that all the
delicious food gets thrown on the floor.
Well, looks like we'll have
to do this dinner another time.
This has been fun.
I'll walk you out. No, Blake. Will you stop?
We'll just order delivery.
Plus, while we're waiting,
Kelly can play some violin.
Blake tells us you're quite talented.
Aww
You know what?
I'd love to, but I forgot my violin.
Oops!
So, should I order a pizza? Just order it.
Here, honey. You can use our family violin.
This was my grandfather's.
Always said it was the
best $10,000 he ever spent.
I guess I could try and play something.
I'll just place the violin
under my chin very carefully,
as someone who plays the violin does.
Under the chin!
[violin screeching]
You know what?
I can't do this.
Look, the truth is--
[violin playing]
Beautiful.
Bravissimo!
Unbelievable.
That was awesome!
I mean, thank you, thank you.
So
can I get in on that pizza?
And you'll note, the Scaredy Aloe
also comes with a detachable blanky.
Are you okay, Miss Caldwell?
Is the temperature to your liking?
It's fine. Stop Talking! [Crying]
So, to sum up, this prototype is
very popular with its target audience,
including your children, Miss Caldwell.
Thank you for your time.
Well done, partner, well done.
But you forget one thing
Scaredy Aloe's tiny sidekick, Lazy Piper.
Who needs money?
I'd rather sleep than work.
What is that thing? Why it's you, of course.
I love to get C's on my report card.
Oh, Lazy Piper, you sure like to settle.
That's not me!
Give me that doll!
Okay, kids, show time's over.
[crying]
This is your idea of a business presentation?
To make my children cry?
Are you two about done?
I might have something to add,
Madame Business woman.
May I present, Sven's Stick People?
That's a bundle of tongue depressors.
Better, tongue depressors with hats.
Look, Freddy the Fireman
sure is ready for the weekend.
Okay, I just have one thing to say.
This is genius.
They're cheap to make, so they'll break easily
and the kids will have to buy more.
Let's go get a decaf soy
latte and talk about your future.
I'm buying.
Hooray for business!
I can't believe I ruined another
dinner at your parent's house.
I've got to take some responsibility too, Kell.
I didn't dice the cherry tomatoes for the salad
like the recipe called for.
Feels good to get that off my chest.
If I could just say one thing--
Kelly, before you start--
No, before you start.
Kelly's an awesome girl.
Sure, she may have ruined your painting,
but anyone who would go to these lengths
to impress you is someone special.
Look, Kelly and Blake really
seem to care about each other.
They make a good couple, so you shouldn't
just kick her out. You need to get to know her.
And if they drift apart, as high
school relationships often do,
and if she starts dating someone
else, maybe someone younger
Bucket! Kelly's the best. Thanks you.
We were just going to ask Kelly
to get ice cream with us.
Ohh
Kelly, we know how difficult
it is to get to know the parents
and that you gave it a shot
under such difficult circumstances,
well, that shows real character.
Don't you think so, dear?
Hmm? Oh, sure.
Are we getting ice cream or not?
Blake, your parents like me.
Aw, this is nice.
Group hug.
[violin crunching]
This won't seem that bad after
you see what I did in the kitchen.
[violin playing]
[crowd cheering]
It's not even close.
The winners are Bucket, Skinner and Kelly!
Yes!
Nice!
Victory dance!
It's going to be awesome having a jet ski.
Whoa!
Blake just fell into shark infested waters!
Yeah, that's a shame.
