Acceptance notifications
fall semester will be made
by phone today at 3:00 PM.
Um, excuse me!
We just want to make extra sure
Barbie Roberts on your list.
That you've got two
Cause we're both named Barbie Roberts,
so we came up with nicknames.
Which is kind of confusing,
I'm Brooklyn, she's Malibu.
- 'Cause that's where we're from.
- I mean, what are the odds
who share the same name that two people
would bump into each other
at the summer program?
A nosedive right off the stage.
Literally, Brooklyn took
- It wasn't your fault.
- I felt so bad.
It seriously wasn't.
But Malibu thought it was and went home,
so then I had to go all the way
to California to get her back.
We totally became best friends.
Which was so sweet. Anyway,
And performed together at the final
spotlight showcase in Time Square.
Did you see it? You probably
saw it. It was amazing!
So we're both really hoping
we can stay here full time.
And make our musical dreams come true.
Notifications are at 3:00.
Auditions are the worst.
It's all about the practice
and preparation.
The rest is out of your hands.
They didn't seem to like
our backstory at all.
You don't think they'll take
points off for that, do you?
Everybody's a critic.
Don't sweat it.
[Malibu] What about sending
a muffin basket?
- Bad idea.
- Right.
Someone could have a nut allergy.
What about balloons?
Ever heard of the saying, "less is more"?
Clearly didn't appreciate
Whoever said that
the power of a good shoe.
[gasps]
I know!
A fruit bouquet!
Gift to the selection committee.
Malibu. We can't send a
It's against the rules.
Love a pineapple sunflower?
Please. Who doesn't
Remind me why we're packing?
I mean, why would they move us
to a different room?
Uh, well, for starters,
your parents are already on their way here
have no idea what's going on.
To move you back home and
Neither do yours!
An audition by talking about it.
Everybody knows you can't jinx
And we've got to be out of
the dorm room tomorrow,
if we don't make the cut.
[gasps]
Do you seriously think they'll say no?
"Nice try, see you later?"
"Thanks, but no thanks?"
Then what?
This summer never happened,
We're supposed to act like
go our separate ways?
Never see each other again?
Dearest Brooklyn,
it's been years since
our show stopping duet
in Time Square.
Yet, it still holds a fond place
in my heart.
My beloved friend Malibu,
memories of the friendship we shared
in my times of loneliness.
Are what sustained me
[sighs]
And what about all of our plans?
Our hopes?
Our dreams!
We can't just give them up!
Dear Brooklyn, big news!
And getting rave reviews.
Just got a new gig,
[gasp]
Bravo girl!
Guess we're both doing great.
My classical dance training
Got cast in a new role and
is wowing the critics.
- [clatters]
- Whah!
No. We are not doing this.
No more negative thinking.
Right, we're gonna get in together,
because we're us!
Starting right now, this room
is a no drama zone.
How can you guys look so calm
at a time like this!
Decided at this very moment.
Our entire future is being
Let's just start saying
our goodbyes right now,
get the tears over with
so I can quietly slink into the sunset.
Did you just say slink?
[barking]
Rafa, sunset isn't for hours.
And notifications
aren't until 3:00.
It's only
[all scream]
[cell alarm ringing]
[all] Gato! Shh!
Hello?
Uh-huh?
OK, right.
Thank you.
[excited]
Ahh!
We got in!
Gotta call my folks!
- You can't!
- No way!
Don't let her!
Sorry, sweetheart,
but you'll be out on your own soon enough.
Too soon!
That's why we want you home
for high school,
so we can all be together, as a family.
Ooh! Great news, Honey!
We're so proud of you.
But the dorms' a deal breaker.
But you saw us perform!
Brooklyn and I are an amazing duo.
And we're just getting started.
We've got so many dreams
We understand, Barbie,
but you'll have plenty of time
for a music career later.
After high school.
But I'm already here, rooming with Malibu.
It's the perfect set up.
For a few weeks over the summer
Barbie, living in the dorms
was one thing,
Malibu is from out of town.
But you already have a perfectly
good place to live in the city.
It's called your room.
[both] But!
[all] We're sorry, Honey,
our answer is final.
We'll see you for dinner.
Alright, ladies!
Truly epic celebrating?
Who's up for some
Let me see a show of hands!
Why no hands?
Umm.
We've got a problem.
Major problem.
My parents said no to the dorm.
Mine said no to everything.
I mean, yeah, I know I sprung it
on them at the last second,
'cause of the whole jinx thing,
which is totally real.
But now they expect us to just break up?
We can't! We're a team.
Then what?
Forget our dreams like they
never even mattered?
- [Rafa] Ahh!
- [whimpers]
You're safe now.
I've got you.
Theres gotta be something we can do.
[barking]
[sighs]
When my parents say no, it's a no.
Who am I talking to right now?
'Cause it's sure not the Barbie
Malibu Roberts I know.
She never gives up.
Like, ever.
Even when it makes no sense.
Even when she's out of her mind,
like a rabid squirrel.
[growling]
This is our future.
Are you really gonna go down
without a fight?
No.
I am not.
- [barking]
- OK.
My parents, your parents.
How do we change their no's into a yes?
Presentation of pros and cons.
May I direct your attention
to chart A, section B, paragraph two.
[snoring]
Too dull.
Lock them in your family's camper
for the entire school year?
[door locks]
Probably against the law.
Strike that.
Definitely against the law.
Hmmm.
We find my parents jobs in New York City,
so they move here and live
happily ever after.
Not practical.
Or possible.
[sighs]
But New York is the greatest
city in the world.
Give it up for NYC!
Woo-woo!
Greatest?
I mean, it's a cool place
but Malibu's got
Beaches, sunshine, kale.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know.
But if we can make your mom and
dad fall in love with this city.
[gasps]
And prove to them that it's like
no place else in the world,
they'll let me stay.
Then maybe
parents to let us live together
And if we can convince my
at our house
Problem solved.
Your family comes for dinner.
We'll start tonight when
we lock 'em in the camper!
And if nothing works,
There's gotta be a loophole!
What?
Great to see you again.
George, Margaret,
And actually hear you.
Very true, Simone.
With all that cheering in Time Square,
having an actual conversation
with you and Kel was impossible.
Ready for "Operation Roomies"?
Let's do it!
[music playing]
[both] Woah!
Kitty cat!
Skipper, look!
Chelsea, Stacie!
Be gentle!
[both] Aww!
[laughs]
Her name is Etta, she's very shy.
[both] Woah!
Ah!
Phew.
That looks good!
Thank you, ladies.
Malibu made the snacks.
Barbie, I mean,
I'm still getting used to those nicknames.
Same here.
It sure was great to have help
in the kitchen.
Anytime, really.
Anytime at all.
It's great having so many people around.
It's usually so quiet here.
Too quiet.
Food!
We just had dinner.
These are our godchildren.
Jackson and Jayla. They live next door.
[mouthful]
Hi!
Ignore him. He's gross.
Our dads are watching a boring movie
and said to come bug you instead!
They also said you'll probably
want to have
a little "chat" with them later.
Sorry about all the commotion.
We're used to it at our house.
You're so lucky.
Sometimes I wish I had a bigger family.
I distinctly remember you saying
you loved being an only child.
[laughs nervously]
When did I say that?
Last night, when we came over
for charades night.
Right after you told us to get lost,
cause there's no such thing
as charades night?
I don't think I said that.
[on phone] Get lost, there's no
such thing as charades night.
I'm an only child.
Ugh. I'm so glad
Oh, that's OK, let us!
Isn't that thoughtful of her, Mom?
Not even a guest.
It's like she's
no space at all.
And, I take up
We all set for tomorrow?
Got the whole day planned.
Let me grab my phone and show you.
[Skipper] You're trying
to make the grownups
change their mind about school.
- We weren't born yesterday.
- Totally.
Guys, this is way bigger than school.
It's my dream.
What if we don't like that dream?
Like the one where I was a giant
ball of cotton candy.
Stacie was a clown and she ate me!
[shudders]
Barbie, we've been together
our whole lives
and now you want to change that?
And I love you.
We're sisters
Nothing will ever change that.
But Brooklyn and I,
we're building something
special right now.
You understand?
Please tell me
Only if I have to.
Fool proof itinerary.
Operation "We Heart New York" is a go.
Then, the top of the Empire State Building
where you can see the whole city
for miles.
And the majestic Statue of Liberty.
That is quite a schedule.
Dad, it's the Big Apple.
You've gotta take a huge bite!
[instrumental music playing]
[shutter snaps]
[shutter snaps]

[music continues]
[chitters]

[music continues]
Ahh!!
[music continues]
- [announcer beeps]
- [tires screech]
Ladies and gentlemen, [announcement]
a delay on the track.
We're experiencing
Should clear in about
two hours.
[passengers groan]
[instrumental music playing]
[barking]
[horse whinnies]
[music continues]
[both screaming]
[boat horn blaring]
Ladies and gentlemen, [announcer]
we're having mechanical difficulties.
Repairs should take about two hours.
[hissing]
So, greatest city in the world,
am I right?
Didn't you just love it?
All I know is that the sooner
we get back to California,
the better.
Our squirrels aren't rude.
The subway any day of the week.
And I'll take traffic over
Honey, we're gonna get the camper.
Time to pack up
and get this family back home
where it belongs.
Our squirrels aren't rude,
they're go-getters.
That's just a fact!
Got your text! What's up?
[sighs]
They hated our squirrels.
[barking]
Focus, B.
We've got to find a new way
to show them how important this is to us.
That's it!
[gasps]
[Brooklyn] What's it?
We put on a show!
Make it about how much staying
together means.
Not being us anymore.
How we can't imagine
Ooh. That's deep, girl.
Takes time. Which we don't have.
But writing and rehearsing
You know, when I was just a nanito
- Here it comes
- Me Abuela used to tell me life is beautiful,
but it will not be easy.
One day, trouble will arrive at your door,
there is solamente, and when it does,
one thing to do.
Stall! For as long
as you can.
That's what your grandmother used to say?
The translation might be a little iffy,
but yeah, pretty mucho.
My sisters can help.
Call your parents, we'll keep
'em busy with mine.
"Operation Stall" is a go.
If it was good enough for your Abuela,
it's good enough for us.
[instrumental music playing]
[no audible dialogue]
[no audible dialogue]
[music continues]
[clatter]
[music continues]
[all exhale]
I think we're ready.
Honestly, how can two girls
have so much stuff?
And why is everybody on break?
Since we're doing all the work,
would somebody like to explain?
Yes, we would.
So, if you guys could just
follow us to your seats
It's show time!
[instrumental music playing]
a dream come true.
Coming here was
it would be the start But we had no idea
of a brand new destiny.
Who brought down the house
Oh, look, it's the girls
in Time Square!
Sign my shirt!
- Oh, can I get a selfie?
- Me too!
You are too kind!
But we didn't do it for the fame,
or the attention.
We perform because we love it.
Because we believe in ourselves.
Our only wish is that we can
keep making music.
Keep making new dreams come true
and do it together.
[both] Because we can't imagine
life any other way.

[clapping]
- What do you think?
- So?
Well, I think you've been running
your parents ragged all afternoon.
And making plans behind our back.
Which is not the way we
do things in our family.
Ours either.
Now, Barbie, we know you're growing up
and want to make your own choices,
but we'll never stop worrying
or trying to protect you.
It's our job.
Which we love.
To step back isn't easy.
But knowing when
And even though you might
not understand why,
sometimes parents have to say no.
They get to say yes.
But sometimes,
Especially when they've done the
kind of outstanding job we have.
- No question.
- The best.
- Nice work.
- [gasps]
You mean it? I can stay?
How could we break up
such a talented team?
And Malibu can live with us?
Well, she does make a mean appetizer.
Our home is Barbie's home.
I mean, Malibu's home.
The hang of this.
I may never get
[squeals of delight]
Just a few conditions, young lady.
You call us, every day.
And not to mention, come home
for vacations and holidays.
And Barbie, I mean, Brooklyn,
is always welcome.
I see what you mean.
[squeals of delight]
[both] Yes, yes, yes!
[George] Now, I hate to break up
the celebration,
but it's time for the California
Roberts to hit the road!
The camper's been stolen!
More like towed, George.
There's no parking after 6:00.
And the impound lot will be
closed till morning.
[both] Sleepover at our house!
[laughing]
