03x22 - All Fall Down Part 1

Post by bunniefuu »

Well, Charlie, here we
are in our hotel room,

And we're not on vacation.

Confused? Well, get
comfortable, 'cause it's a doozy.

Charlie, get out
of the bathroom!

In a minute!

Hey. Come on, guys. Huh?

Not so bad. Kind
of an adventure.

- Oh, save it.
- Be quiet!

Come on. I'm just trying
to make the best of it.

- 'Cause you caused it.
- Not totally my fault.

- Then whose fault was it?
- I'll get back to you on that.

Ugh. Teddy, I need a hand.

So how we got here
is kind of a long story.

Let's just say this is the worst
day in Duncan family history.

- Teddy, now!
- I'm coming!

To be continued.

Oh. You hear that, Toby?

It's called quiet.

Enjoy it while you can, 'Cause
in this house it doesn't last long.

- Mom!
- Hmm? Told you.

Why is Toby's crib in my room?

Because you two are
sharing a room now.

- We talked about this.
- No, we didn't.

We didn't? Oh, well, Toby
and I talked, and he's fine with it.

I can't share a
room with a baby.

I'm a teenager now. I
need my own space.

Well, I'm sorry, honey, But
we only have so many rooms.

- Besides, you love Toby.
- This isn't about love.

This is about square footage.

Well, if it makes it any easier,

Toby's about the same age you
were when you moved in with PJ.

Yeah, but with me and PJ,
the little brother was in charge.

That ain't happening with us.

Oh, aren't you adorable?

Stop that, Gabe! Stay strong.

Oh, hey, PJ, you
are a good cook.

Could you taste this and
tell me what you think?

Sure.

Um, what is it?

Well, that's not
a good question.

It's New England clam chowder.

Ah. Well, I'm not
getting any chowder...

or clams...

or even England.

It is new, though.

Oh, man!

I wanted to make Spencer a
special welcome-home lunch.

He was visiting BIPA.

BIPA, the Boston
Institute of Performing Arts.

He's hoping to
go there next fall.

There he is. Hey, um, do you
think you could rescue this?

- No problem.
- Thank you.

Step one.

- Oh, I'm so glad you're home.
- Hey.

So, how was BIPA?

Supa.

It's how they say
"super" in Boston.

I know. Hey, you wanna hear how they
say, "Go park your car in Harvard yard"?

"Pahk your cah in Hahvahd yahd."

Supa.

Mine's better.

So, hey, how was it?

Oh, my gosh, the
school is amazing.

- I mean, I loved it.
- That's awesome.

So, when do you
find out if you got in?

I already found out.

They accepted me.

Way to go, boyfriend!

Oh, yeah, uh-huh.

Why am I the only one
doing a happy dance?

Well, 'cause, 'cause
there's one other thing.

Um, they want me
to start a little early.

Well, like how early?

Monday.

- What?
- Yeah, it's called early enrollment.

They have a space
available and if I want it,

I have to take it right now.

But you haven't
finished high school.

Yeah, I know, but I already
have enough credits to graduate.

Wow. This is...

Wow.

Hey, Teddy, I haven't
made my decision yet.

I mean, I wanted to talk to
you first. What do you think?

I don't know. I'm
just kind of in shock.

Yeah, me too.

Who's ready for some delicious
New England chicken noodle chowder?

Denver omelet?

Guys, guys, I had an
unbelievable day at work.

Wait until I tell you
What happened.

Oh, I think I hear Toby.

Baby's right there.

- Oh, then I think I hear Charlie.
- Charlie's at a playdate.

I'm trying to get
out of a bug story.

- Work with me here.
- Okay.

So I'm doing a routine spray
job over at the Andersons'...

They have a monthly maintenance package,
so that means I go every other Tuesday.

So the first Tuesday
is perimeter,

- the second Tuesday's interior.
- I think I hear the doorbell.

Oh, no, you don't.

Anyway, long story short...

- I captured these bad boys. Huh?
- Ugh.

Brazilian termites.

Very rare, very destructive

and they've never been found
in North America until now.

Well, if they're so destructive,

why would you bring
them into our house?

Our wooden house?

Honey, I'm not an idiot. This
container... Termite-proof.

- Are you sure?
- I am sure.

Besides, it's only
gonna be for one night.

Tomorrow I'm taking 'em
to the University of Denver.

This could land me in the
exterminator Hall of fame.

Bob, honey, that doesn't exist.

Honey, yes, it
does. It's in Detroit.

Used to be in Cleveland,
but they had to move it.

Rat problem.

So I know that it's
a great opportunity,

but if Spencer leaves
now, I'm gonna be so sad.

We have so many plans
for the rest of the year.

When I get a boyfriend, we're
gonna make a bunch of plans too.

Maybe you should make
a plan to get a boyfriend.

Maybe you should make a
plan not to tell me to make a plan.

Volleyball friends, huh?

Well, one problem at a time.

So, Spencer asked me
what I thought he should do

and I don't know
what to tell him.

I think if you're lucky
enough to get a boyfriend,

you should never
ever let him go...

Even if you have to lock him in
the basement and not tell anybody.

So...

of course I don't
want Spencer to go,

but I also don't want to be
the one to keep him from going.

Oh, man. I wish I had some
experience with these things,

but for some reason boys
find me weird and off-putting.

Not just boys, sweetie.

Kelsey, what do you think?

I think whatever happens
is gonna be great.

But if Spencer goes,
then Teddy will be crushed.

- You make a good point.
- And if he doesn't go,

- he might be miserable.
- That's a good point, too.

So, what are you saying?

That I agree with everybody.

But you can't agree
with everybody.

You are absolutely right.

You just did it again!

Okay, I've made my decision.

- What is it?
- I need some new friends.

My little Deedee just loves
playing with your little Charlie.

- Oh.
- Although, last time she asked me,

"Why does Charlie
have a boy's name?"

And I didn't know
what to tell her.

Hey, honey. How's
your playdate going?

- Oh.
- Mmm.

Follow up question,
where's Deedee?

In jail.

Final question, what
does "jail" mean exactly?

- Uh, well, it means we'd better go check.
- Mmm.

Oh, my. Ooh!

Oh, Deedee.

- Not funny.
- Oh, sorry.

- Oh.
- Yeah, you guys go play.

Maybe we should just stay in
here with the girls for a while.

- Sounds like a good idea.
- Okay, sure.

Well, at least this will make
a good post for my blog.

Uh, you have a blog?

I call it, "Mama
Debbie's Daily Doing's."

Oh, my.

Oh, you're serious.

You betcha.

I post recipes,
offer helpful hints,

share fun things Doug
Dooley and I do together.

Just passing along some of the things
I've learned about motherhood and such.

Wow, and you've based this on
your vast experience with one child?

And one on the
way for a total of two.

Oh. I have a total of five.

It's not a competition.

It wasn't.

- What are you doing down here?
- Toby kept me up all night.

Ah. It's called payback.

When you were a baby, you
used to make my life miserable, too.

I will never forget the
night I woke up in your crib

and you were in my bed.

I still have no idea
how you did that.

Well, me and Toby sharing
a room is not gonna work.

Something has to be done... now.

Oh! Are you gonna
do something bad?

'Cause that'd be
great... for me.

What are you talking about?

Well, I have to break some
difficult news to Mom and Dad,

and they're not gonna be happy.

So I was thinking maybe
if you got in trouble,

I could sneak my news in and
kind of piggyback on your badness.

Well, what's the news?

Oh, it's nothing.

You know, I'd get it out of
you, but I am way too tired.

So, what do you think?

You gonna be getting
into trouble anytime soon?

I don't know. It's different.
I'm a teenager now.

Well, what kind
of attitude is that?

That is quitter talk.

Brazilian termites.

This is the most exciting thing

since I discovered those
Ukrainian grub worms in ' .

Excuse me, I discovered those.

No, I was in the crawl space.
You were in the port-a-john.

Fine. Here. Feast your
eyes on those little beauties.

I don't see 'em.

- Well, they're in there.
- Are you sure?

All I see are two little holes.

Holes?

Oh, no. No, no, no! They
ate right through the plastic!

Oh, this is bad.
This is really bad.

Okay, look, we gotta wipe
'em out before they multiply...

More importantly,
before Amy finds out.

Well, we could tent the place.

Hey, there you go.

She'll never notice a giant
gas-filled tarp covering the house.

Well, then what are we gonna do?

I've got an idea.

To the bugmobile!

I love when he does that.

Hey, sweetie, can you go get me
the jail? Mommy needs to do laundry.

- Okay.
- Thank you, sweetie.

Hi, Charlie. Hey, mom.

- Hey, sweetie.
- What you doing?

Working on my mommy blog.

Mommy blog? That
doesn't sound like you.

I am gonna kick
Debbie Dooley's butt.

That sounds like you.

The only problem is I'm having
trouble coming up with topics.

What kind of stuff does
Debbie post about?

- Recipes...
- Ooh, so that's out.

She also writes about fun
stuff she does with her husband,

So that's out too.

Hey, where is Gabe? He's
always up to something?

Well, here's hoping.

I mean, for you and your blog.

Not for me.

Why would I need
him to do anything bad?

Coming!

- Hey.
- Hi.

- So, listen, I...
- So, Teddy, I...

- You first.
- Okay. Uhm...

I'm just gonna
come out and say it.

I think you should go to Boston.

Oh.

'Cause I was kinda
leaning towards not going.

- Why?
- I just don't think I can leave you.

Oh, Spence, but BIPA
is your dream school.

It's the best music
program in the country

and you know if you
don't grab this opportunity,

You're gonna regret it
for the rest of your life.

Yeah, but it's not the
only college out there.

I mean, I could stay
here and audition

for the Denver Institute
of Performing Arts.

- DIPA?
- Yeah.

DIPA's not as good as BIPA.

Oh, yeah? You know
who went to DIPA?

- Kelly Ripa.
- Ripa went to DIPA?

No, I just wanted
To hear you say that.

Hey, you know
you have to do this.

Yeah, but what about us?


Well, there will still be an
us, just a long-distance us.

You really think we
can make that work?

Hey, nothing is
far away anymore.

We can... We can text.

We can talk on the phone. We
can video chat. We can email.

Oh, and the great part
is that when I smell funny,

you won't have a clue.

- Hey, you never smell funny.
- I know.

It's gonna be okay,
sweetie. We can do this.

Yeah, of course we can.

So, when do you have to leave?

Well...

Tomorrow.

Okay.

Then come here.

Until tomorrow,

I'm not gonna let you go.

Me neither.

Hey, it's kinda cold out
here. You wanna go inside?

Sure.

Okay, my hungry little ants,

Today's special is Brazilian.

Bon appetit.

- Dad?
- Ow!

- PJ!
- Why are you releasing ants in the house?

Uh, because...

I'm training.

I'm letting the ants go now
so I can catch 'em again later.

All the exterminators do it.

Dad, do you think it's fair to
say I'm not the brightest Duncan?

It, it's more than fair, son.

So, if I'm not buying this
story, who do you think will?

All right, look, uhm...

Those Brazilian termites
that I brought home?

- Mm-hmm.
- They got out,

so I brought in some ants,
because the ants will eat the termites.

See? So it's gonna be fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Why don't you
just tent the house?

'Cause I don't want
your mom to find out.

Because if Mom
found out, that'd be bad.

That would be very bad.

But she's not gonna find out.

Right, right.

Aah, but when she does,
could you let me know?

- Why?
- Just 'cause.

It's not like I have
something to hide.

Coming!

- Hello?
- It's open!

- What is this?
- It's my new room.

- No, it's not.
- Then what's my bed doing here?

Gabe, you are not taking
over the living room.

It's not the living room.
It's the fireplace area.

Oh, yeah, that makes me feel
better... Gabe with fire in his room.

Now pack it up!

That's what I get for
answering the curtain.

It's so good to see your face.

I know it's only been a few
days, but I miss you so much.

Oh, I miss you too.

And I'm sorry we haven't
been able to talk very much,

it's just with orientation
and everything...

It's okay. I get it.

Teddy, can you give
me a hand with Toby?


Be right back.

- Morning, honey.
- Hello.

- Hey, Mr. Duncan.
- Oh!

Spencer? What are you
doing on the computer?

Oh, just video-chatting.

Hey, how about that?

You see the butt scratch?

Yes, sir.

I had an itch.

Oh, no, I completely
understand. It's just...

Well, after the scratch
you picked up an apple

then you put it back.

Well, yeah, I just... I realized
I was in the mood for cereal.

Not really the point.

- Okay, I'm back.
- See you.

Finally, we're all alone.

Except for Charlie.

Hi, Charlie.

How did he get in there?

Charlie, Spencer's not really
in the computer. He's in Boston.

- Can you see me?
- I sure can.

I just can't see your sister.

Yeah, just chilling in
my new room, dude.

Yeah, I'm loving it.

Um, I'm gonna
need to call you back.

No, the spin cycle just started.

This might be a problem.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Just thought I'd pop over
and tell you I saw your blog.

Oh.

And I especially enjoyed your
first post, "That darn Carlie."

So important to proofread.

Oh. Well, thank you.

And next time you have
any helpful suggestions,

don't come over.

Yeah. Just feel free to put
it in my comments section.

Oh, that's thoughtful.

Mm-hmm. Well, I always enjoy
telling you where to put things.

Mmm. Since I'm here now,
let me give you a few tips.

I call them "Debbie
Dooley's dos and don'ts."

Do, use spell-check.

Don't, not use spell-check.

Do, know that my blog will
always be more popular than yours.

Don't, think it won't.

Okay.

That's great. That's great.

Though, you know, I have
some helpful hints myself. Yeah.

Do, go back to
where you came from.

Don't, bother me again.

So, how's the long-distance
relationship going?

Not good.

You know, we both have
such different schedules,

we barely had any time to talk.

Told you, you should've
locked him in the basement.

I know it's only been three
days, but I miss him so much.

I just wish I could see him.

So, why don't you?

Fly all the way to
Boston by myself?

My Mom and Dad would
never let me do that.

Unless they didn't
know about it.

You could just tell them that you're
spending the weekend at my house.

- Ooh.
- Mm-hmm.

That's good. I like that.

So this weekend,
we'll be at "your house."

♪ Yeah, sleepover at Ivy's ♪

It's not really happening.

Yeah, it's not really happening.

I'll bring the popcorn balls.

This is nice.

- Hey, Gabe.
- You left the lights on, Dad.

They turn off by themselves.

See?

Ah!

Dad!

Yeah, been having
some trouble with that!

Well, good night!

Okay, mom. Well, I'm off
to Ivy's for the weekend.

Whoa. That's a pretty
big suitcase you got there.

Oh, Ivy and I are
doing makeovers.

We're, uh... You...
You know us girls.

Oh, well, before you go,
come check out my blog.

Oh, you have a blog.

- "Half a dozen Duncan's."
- Catchy, huh?

"The Adventures Of Amy Duncan,

a mama bird whose nest is
bursting with six crazy chickies."

Mom, you only have five kids.

I made one up.

Skippy.

- Skippy Duncan.
- Mmm.

Skippy Marie
Duncan. She's eight.

You are an interesting
woman, Mom.

Thank you. Thank you.

And, oh, my goodness,

this skippy is a handful.

Last night because she
was afraid of the dark,

she set off a
bunch of fireworks.

Boy, did that cause a ruckus.

A very interesting woman.

Next time on "Good
Luck Charlie"...


Surprise!

Teddy. You're never
gonna guess where I am.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

Why you so sad?

Oh!

You let termites eat our house?

- I dropped out of college.
- What?

Oh, man, Mom and
Dad are gonna k*ll you!

Mama bird, it looks like
your nest is falling apart...

In more ways than one.
