[alarm beeps]
[both] It's the first day of school!
You know what that means
- Schedules!
- Muffins!
You packed your own muffin pan?
Doesn't everybody?
It's for my mom's magical mango muffins.
That's how we kick off
back to school traditions.
West Coast Roberts'
Um
After muffins,
there's the first day outfit picture,
family karaoke night.
Time capsules and
tone for a perfect school year.
It's the only way to set the
W-Wow.
That's a lot.
And they all sound great.
I just wish you'd told me sooner.
I still have to pick up my favorite pens.
The right ink flow can make
an essay feel alive.
[phone buzzes]
Time for breakfast.
Maybe muffins this weekend?
Um, sure.
[dreamy music playing]
[phone rings]
Mom, Dad?
George, wake up. It's Barbie.
Are you okay, honey?
It's 4:00 AM?
More noodles!
[yelps]
Oh, Margaret.
It was the mac and cheese dream again.
I was drowning in cheddar.
Whoops. Time zones.
Way too early there.
Morning here,
Everything's fine.
Love you. Bye.
Wait, sweetie!
Happy first day.
The muffins right?
You're making
Yes.
I am.
[energetic music playing]
Heads up.
- Thanks, Dad.
- Thanks, baby.
Don't forget to clean the cat box.
[instrumental music playing]
[dings]
- [both] Yes?
- Barbie.
Sorry, this Barbie.
Hope you like poppy seed.
Thanks.
Got any milk?
And flour, eggs, baking soda
and some mangoes?
Interesting bagel toppings.
Actually I wanted to make muffins.
They're a family tradition.
We don't have any mangoes.
Hmm.
Would a week old guava I picked
up in Hawaii work?
Um not really?
Sorry, Barbie.
Maybe I can pick some up later.
Mango muffins this weekend?
- [phone buzzes]
- Mm.
Got a jet.
La France, here I come.
And I gotta get to the office.
- [Brooklyn's mother] Cat box.
- Right after the cat box.
Okay. No muffins,
the time capsule?
But what about
Fun for the future.
Speaking of the future,
subway leaves in 12 minutes 30 seconds.
If we're going to be on time.
We gotta leave in five
- And by on time
- You mean early.
I mean early.
Could use a little mango.
[energetic music playing]
Dance, music theory, vocal.
Happy first day of school.
Morning.
Love the hair.
Yes to the purple streaks!
Huh. 8:30.
West Coast to try home again,
Still too early on the
but I can call at lunch, right?
Brooklyn?
Malibu, look who it is!
[fanfare music]
[gasps]
- It's, it's, it's
- Breathe.
Can you spell it out for me?
How many syllables?
Charades?
Rafa, Brooklyn short-circuited.
It's Bertram Livsey.
He's a genius.
One of the greatest actors of all time.
No, the greatest.
I've seen him on Broadway like 10 times.
He just doesn't know acting, he is acting.
What's he doing here?
Oh, is that him?
From some dance kids, Because I heard
some film students,
who heard it from some drama kids
that he's guest-teaching here this year.
By audition only.
[gasps]
Yeah, maybe let's work on
that first impression.
I am so getting into his class.
What'll I perform?
I gotta find the perfect piece.
But isn't too much of a stretch.
Something that shows my range
Something hilarious but also serious.
And loves but is totally fresh.
Something that everybody knows
[gasps]
I know.
A dramatic hero scene.
[neighs]
Nope. Too horsey.
Maybe something mysterious.
Eye of newt and tail of frog.
Wait, is it tail of snake?
[sniffs]
Nope.
Too smelly.
[coughs]
More iconic.
The hills ♪
Woah!
Ugh!
Nope. Too dizzy.
[dreamy music]
I have no idea what to do.
Better figure it out fast.
Auditions are tomorrow.
- [school bell rings]
- Tomorrow?
And class is now.
See you at lunch, Rafa.
Brooklyn, breathe.
Breathe.
Can I help you with something?
My guess is, uh, no.
[inhales]
Have it your way.
But for future reference,
this is my good side.
[claps]
Let's begin warming up, shall we?
[gentle classical music]
Psst. Brooklyn.
What are you doing?
Didn't you hear her?
We're starting.
Gotta find a perfect audition piece.
And seven, and eight.
No. No.
Maybe. No.
Brooklyn, she's coming!
[whispers]
[dramatic music]
I thought I said no phones, Miss Roberts.
Rather be than in my class?
Is there somewhere you'd
Because that can be arranged.
Oh, madam.
I, um
It's my fault.
Because, well, your scarf.
It's so beautiful.
It's an Alessandra Boujay, right?
That's correct.
I've been looking everywhere
for one just like it,
so I asked Brooklyn to check online
because I left my phone in my locker.
I mean, that color?
With your eyes?
[giggles]
They're impossible to find.
But I got this one at a sample sale.
I'll send you the link after class.
[cheerful music]
Thanks for the rescue.
No problem.
And I snagged an amazing scarf
on that site she sent me
so it was a total win-win.
Oh, and speaking of fashion,
I think it's time for the first
day outfit photoshoot back home.
Oh, no, I missed it.
At least Skipper sent the pic.
Disaster.
My costume design instructor told us
to build a signature look that
explores our inner essence.
On my outer essence!
I'm still working
And she wants it in two days?
Real art takes time, and
Oh, no, he isn't!
Did we not just talk about this?
My right side is my good side.
Future award winning director The Dash.
Cheers.
The Dash?
Like the punctuation?
What, was the comma taken?
The semicolon too boring?
Full name Daschel Haycraft the Third.
But he goes by The Dash.
Here to talk about The Dash's
next groundbreaking epic,
an expose on aspiring artists
in their natural habitat.
You two, love the desperation.
Love it.
You though, you're holding back.
I need grit, I need angst.
Something, anything.
Listen, Dash.
The Dash.
If you say so.
Anyway, we're kind of in
the middle of something.
So that's a wrap.
Speaking The Dash's language.
Ah!
I like it, I like it.
Ciao.
So.
- This assignment
- [school bell rings]
Ooh. Got to get to music theory.
And I'm off to stage lighting.
And to find an audition piece.
Costume after school, Rafa.
We'll catch up about your
I cannot work under these conditions.
[instrumental music playing]
Ugh. It's still the middle
of the school day on the West Coast.
I need to have a serious talk
with whoever invented time zones.
[sobbing dramatically]
What happened?
What's wrong?
Good, huh?
It's part of my audition piece
from Romeo and Juliet.
Perfect choice, right?
Lots of crying.
Bertram loves tears.
The man can cry on command.
He won the Sobby Award for his
revolutionary work in the play
"The Weeping Windmill".
Well, the next Sobby is as good as yours.
I'll leave you to it.
[sobbing dramatically]
Yes!
You got this.
[instrumental music playing]
wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Romeo, Romeo,
[Kel] What'd you say, honey?
I'm not talking to you, Dad.
I'm talking to Romeo.
[Malibu] Aww. After first day
of school beach walk?
I wish I were there.
[static crackling]
What? You're breaking up.
Better now?
How about now?
Now?
Deny thy father and
[Kel] Etta? Dinner!
Woah.
Sorry, Etta.
Romeo!
Your timing's perfect.
The skateboard park.
Just got back from
So tell me, Barbie,
did you burn the muffins this morning?
Uh, no.
I didn't even get to make them.
And that was one time.
I can still smell the smoke.
[laughs]
I was 10.
That which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet.
[phone buzzing]
She almost got in trouble.
I love her scarf and
So I told her how much
- Oh, one sec.
- [beeps]
Does this scream me?
What about this?
Does it say I'm a fierce jungle
cat but also a frisky kitten?
Um, yes.
I'm starting over.
I knew it.
Everything cool?
Yep. Just a costume.
Hold on.
Trust me, you're a jungle cat.
[Ken] Huh?
Hold please.
Whoops.
Does this say elegant elk or teeny mouse?
Needs more majestic moose.
No, you're right.
[yawns]
Crisis averted.
- [Brooklyn] Romeo!
- [groans]
And it sounds like there's one
more crisis to handle.
Talk tomorrow?
Night, Barbie.
For sure.
[chuckles] Romeo better be
worth the yelling!
[instrumental music playing]
[meows]
[gasps]
[gasps]
Morning!
I thought you were coming up
after last night's Romeo.
How'd your all nighter go?
Oh, no. I can't talk!
[hoarsely]
It's like you're not talking.
What'd you say?
- [hoarsely] I'm not talking.
- Are you talking?
Too much rehearsal.
[hoarsely]
Lost voice.
[gasps] You must've rehearsed too much
and lost your voice.
Don't worry.
But I'll need some backup.
I can fix this,
Tea, drink it.
Heating pad, wear it.
Garlic, chew it.
Oh, no. Still no voice?
Don't worry.
We'll think of something.
I can't pull off antlers.
Don't ask.
Rafa, you're super talented
to figure this out.
And you're going
Your turn, Brooklyn.
Thank you, Malibu.
Say nice things.
She can't say anything.
Too much rehearsal.
I'll accept a note.
No voice?
[Dash] And cut!
Yeah, better, better, but not great.
I'm not a miracle worker people.
Help me help you.
Oh, and, uh, Rafa, the camera
doesn't lie, my friend.
Is your good side.
Your left side
[clicks tongue]
Please. You have no idea what
you're talking abou
[gasps]
He's right.
Annoying, but right.
This changes everything.
Let's go again, this time
with some actual feeling.
Back to one.
We don't have time.
Brooklyn's supposed to perform
this afternoon
and she can't talk.
[sighs] Unbelievable!
This is why I always have
understudies standing by.
I need a coffee.
You should have an understudy.
You do have an understudy!
[gasps]
I'll be your voice.
Me.
While you lip sync them onstage.
I'll say the lines offstage
It'll be like Shakespeare karaoke.
You really think you can do this?
No problem.
It's going to be so flawless
no one will suspect a thing.
H[instrumental music playing]
- Hey, Mom, one sec.
- [phone rings]
I'm trying to pick my song
for karaoke tonight.
What's that one you like?
The one where that part goes
Wah wah wee! ♪
- Oh, yes, you do.
- I don't
Wah wah wee! ♪
Seriously, Mom? I don't
Wah wah wee ♪
Oh, never mind, honey.
Work's calling.
I gotta run.
Call you later.
Love you.
And welcome to my auditions.
Hello, good afternoon
My name is Bertram Livsey.
My smash Broadway hit You may know me from
"The Flounder at Midnight" and
my award winning one-man show,
Journey to the Center of Me."
"Me, Myself, and I:
Hmm?
To bring me to you.
And now I am here
- If you're lucky.
- [gasps]
I am here to mold and shape
the next generation of thespians.
But am I willing to work with just anyone?
[chuckles]
No.

Only the truly gifted will make the cut.
[fanfare]
And that's why I will only

[Bertram] Next.
[groaning in pain]
[Bertram] That will be all.
[howling]
[Bertram] Don't. Just don't.
[drum roll]
You may begin, Miss Roberts.
Is there a problem?
Miss Roberts,

The play. Where is it?
No, no, no, no.
[taps foot]
[clears throat]
You got this.
Romeo, Romeo.
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Art thou uppeth the hilleth
with Jacketh and Jilleth?
[whispers] Sorry!
Four score and seven years ago,
Romeo Romeo, sat on a wall
and had a great fall.
Look, up there, way up there!
It's a bird, it's a plane.
Give my regards
To Broadway! ♪
[melancholy music]
Oh, I'm so sorry, Barbie.
I lost your script and I panicked.
Thanks. I know you tried.
I probably should've just asked
to audition later.
My fair ladies, did you
knocketh them dead?
Oh, apparently not.
Your turn to say nice things.
[sighs]
abuela always says, Well, it's like my
"When the rain begins to fall
your head is leaking, and the roof above
hop on your motorcycle
and ride out of town."
Your abuela rides a motorcycle?
- Only when it rains.
- [door opens]
Miss Barbie Roberts.
Quite an exit,
And quite a performance as well.
That was the most inventive
comedic commentary
on Shakespeare I've ever seen.
Pure genius.
When I played the lead in
It reminded me of me
"The Prince and the Doughnut."
Did you see it?
Truly glorious.
Welcome to my class.
- [hoarsely] I'm in?
- Yes.
- Your friend too.
- [gasps]
That's right, Miss Barbie
Roberts, the other one.
I could see your shoes the whole time.
Cute, but very noticeable.
Loved your improv.
When I played the lead in
It reminded me of me
"The Walrus With a Chance."
It was a triumph.
Did you see it?
See you in class.
- [hoarsely] Woo-hoo!
- Yes!
This is amazing.
You ladies are an inspiration.
I know exactly what to do
for my project now.
With a little risk and
a whole lot of improv,
my costume will be bursting
with inner essence.
[music playing]
And who knows. Maybe I'll
win a Sobby Award one day.
You've got my vote.
Oh, we can celebrate with mango muffins.
Actually, I think I'm okay
to skip the mangoes.
Who wants mango curry?
[Brooklyn]
Oh, my gosh, I love mangoes!
Gotta go. Love you, bye.
On your West Coast tradition.
It's a little New York twist
I know how much you miss them.
He bought like 100 mangoes.
Plus, my dad felt so bad,
Had to do something with them.
Thanks, Barbie.
It's delicious.
Who's up for some karaoke?
It's not the first day of school,
but traditions and tunes Tuesday
has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
The screen, you can't miss them.
And with the words right on
