03x21 - Hoop Streams

[bunniefuu]

Yeah, boy! The Peanuts
are going to nationals!

- Go, Peanuts!
- Yeah!

Tess, it was so amazing
when you hit that

oh, thing, after you did the
uh, uh, uh, turn, uh, thing.

The other team was like,
"aw," and we were like...

"Aah!"

So, where in the
nation are nationals?

- Somewhere sunny, I hope.
- Yeah.

Any chance we can get some
surf and sand with our pick and roll?

- Ooh!
- Get it?

Well, you sun worshipers
will be pleased to learn

that this year's
nationals are in Miami.

Miami!

- Yeah!
- ♪ do do do do do do, yes! ♪

- So I guess you guys wanna come?
- No doubt about it.

Mom, you, uh, signing
up to be a chaperone?

Oh, no. No. I'm signing
up for a new bathing suit.

- Mama need to look good.
- Yeah!

Yep! That's us.

Yo, I am so
excited for nationals,

but we have to get there first.

Any ideas on how we can
raise $ , by Monday?

Well, we did a car wash for band
camp and raised a bunch of money.

Look outside, raindrop.

It's been pouring all week.

Well, why do you have to raise
so much money all of a sudden?

Can't the school help?

We're the Peanuts.
We didn't expect to win.

Plus, budget cuts.

The school has to repair
a lot of weather damage,

and nationals aren't really
high on their priority lists.

That is because this country
refuses to put global warming

high on the priority
list, and look at us now.

Not the time. Gotcha.

Wait, what about a live stream?

I mean, we could set up a
camera, people could perform,

and then the viewers can donate.

Maybe there could
even be phone lines.

- Who uses those?
- Old people.

Oy gevalt, bubbe. Yes.

Yes, we're coming
to Miami. Uh-huh.

Oh, I can't wait to pinch
your shayna punim.

Well, I'm ready to help.

My magic act is tight.

Speaking of, Booker,
what's behind your ear?

Nothing.

Or is there?

- Whoa.
- Ah, finders keepers.

Hey, Tess, do you want to try to
bring back The Chi-lective to perform?

Oh, no. I am team captain, now.

I need coach Spitz to see
that I'm serious about the team.

Well, we've got your
back. Don't worry.

Why don't you kids
strategize like this

when rent is due every month?

You know what I mean?
Like, where's my backup?

Where's my live streaming team?

Coach Spitz, as team captain,

I'm gonna treat this
fundraiser just like my baby.

That's what I like
to hear, O'Malley.

In that case, nurture
this fundraiser.

Feed and burp it.

'Cause if we don't
raise $ , today,

the Peanuts are roasted.

Yo, we still have
$ , left to raise,

but we've got this.

You know it. Everything's
gonna go fine.

Speaking of fine...

- So he's still cheesin', huh?
- All day, every day.

Hey, Lloyd. You got an
act prepped for today?

Ah, I don't really do acts.

I'm here to support my team,
and provide my services as...

The host with the most.

You love a backflip, don't you?

They're kinda my thing.

Well, hosting is kinda my thing.

Since the livestream
telethon was my idea.

So, thanks, little
man, but I got this.

I don't really care
who's got this.

As long as it gets
done. You feel?

I won't let my team,
or my queen, down.

Did you just have a vision?
Is everything gonna go great?

Yes, yes, exactly. Everything's...
Everything's gonna go great.

Dope.

Everything is not
gonna go great.

I just had a vision
of Tess crying.

We have to make sure this live
stream goes off without a glitch.

- Yeah.
- Just relax.

I'll make all your
worries disappear.

Magician joke.
You wouldn't get it.

And I have been prepping my
makeup artist tutorials, and trust me,

they will be the highlight
of the live stream.

It's a makeup artist
joke. You wouldn't get it.

Baxter-Carter-Graysons.

Thanks for coming to help out.

- Oh, the mamas are ready.
- Yeah!

Anything to help
us get to Miami.

Yeah, anything to help
the kids get to Miami.

Right, right. Anything to
help the kids get to Miami.

Glad to hear it.

Now, phone duty's
not an easy job,

so use this script. It has
all the major talking points.

Can we please?

Please! I think we know
how to answer phones, coach.

Okay?

Don't worry about it,
coach, all right? We got this.

Well, all right, then.
Show me what you got.

Hello? Go Peanuts!

Oh, hey, girl! Yeah!

No. Mm-mm. They
got me off camera.

Yeah, you know it's
always about the kids.

If they really wanted
to make some money,

you know what they
would do. That's right, girl.

That's right. They'd put
me center stage. Yes!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

This is Chelsea. Go, Peanuts.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, I guess I don't
have renter's insurance.

Yeah, my credit card
number's - - - - ...

- hello? Hello?
- Rude.

- Okay, you did that.
- Yeah.

Hey, ladies? You
gotta stay focused.

Okay? This is
like a reality show.

You're not here to make
friends, or buy renter's insurance.

You're here to raise
money for nationals.

We know what we're here for.

- You don't have to coach-splain us.
- Mm-hmm.

- Right? Right.
- That's right. Yeah.

- Go, Peanuts!
- Ha!

But we do need
renter's insurance, right?

Well, call 'em back!

So, Olivia, starting
center for the Peanuts,

and aspiring model, will be
helping me with my demonstration.

Use primer to create
the perfect canvas.

Sorry, Olivia. An even
more perfect canvas.

Things are looking pretty good.

Heck, yeah, they are.

- I'm talking about the money, Lloyd.
- Yes.

If we keep this pace, we'll
be at the nationals in no time.

Look at the before and after.

What a transformation.

Now, when we come back,
blush, to make him blush.

Hey. You're watching the
yo! Fund me live stream

for the fighting Peanuts.

And boy, have we
got a show for you.

You've seen Nia
Baxter-Carter's makeup mastery.

- Now, it's time for...
- your boy lo-lo.

I can't wait for you guys to see

what we have in store for you.

What are you doing?

I'm just trying to add
some star power, bruh.

No offense, but,
you're a little dry.

- I'm a little dry?
- Yeah.

I'll have you know I host

all of my family's
impromptu competitions.

And no one has ever
accused me of being dry.

Look, I just want to make
sure Tess gets the very best.

So we agree everything
needs to go right today.

Which is why I
need to be the host.

And you should leave
it to the professionals.

Heh. Yeah, yeah.
That's my thing.

If, if, if you guys are done
doing rhythmic gymnastics,

I'm ready to demonstrate
my ball handling.

Okay.

Now, what, what,
uh, what is this?

Put someone else on.

I'll go grab some buckets
and things will be okay.

So that's why they're
spending so much money

on weather damage repair. Ugh.

Climate change, am I right?

Oh, come on! This is totally
the time to talk about it!

Booker, I know you had
a vision, but don't worry.

Once everyone sees me
escape from this straight jacket,

- the donations will come pouring in.
- Okay.

Levi, are you sure about this?

Hey, who's the magician here?

Lock me up and
throw away the key.

- Well, maybe we shouldn't...
- throw away the key!

Hey, you guys good?

Perfect. Nia just
threw away the key.

I'm gonna escape
from this straight jacket.

Tess, it's almost time for your
jump sh*t tutorial. Are you ready?

No. Just slide someone
else in my spot.

I don't think we
have enough buckets,

so I had to use
the recycling bins.

Don't worry. I'll
put 'em back, okay?

Okay, well, if you need
anything, we're right...

Hey, I'm team captain.

I know how to manage my
team, so I can handle any problem.

Levi, you okay?

This is all part of the
trick. Building suspense.

Also, I have to pee.
Where's that key again?

We threw it away, remember?

Per your request?

Uh, y-yep. I-I don't need it.

- Hmm.
- I'm gonna move away, though,

'cause this tricking water
is confusing my bladder.

- How'd you do, Chels?
- Not good, Rae. Not good.

Seven bucks. And two of
'em, I stole from your wallet.

How'd you do?

I, I only got five.
People are so stingy.

Whoa! Fifty dollars?
You just made me holler.

How 'bout that? Mm.

- Fifty dollars?
- Calm down, Chels.

He probably got
it from his mama.

What? Another
hundred dollars? Okay.

What? How rich is his mama?

How's it going over there,
ladies? I hear phones ringing,

but I don't see
money cha-chingin'.

Everything's going great.

All right, well, if you want, I
can show you how it's done.

No, you don't have to
show us anything, all right?

- We are raking in the dough over here.
- Yeah.

It's just coming in, you know.

What does he have
that we don't have?

A script.

Come on, Rae. That's right.

Listen, we can't let
coach think he can b*at us.

- No, that is our job.
- Yeah.

- So roll up your sleeves, Chels.
- Uh-huh.

We got two chairs in Miami
just waitin' for us. Well.

- With umbrellas?
- Yeah.

With umbrellas. And people.

Just walking by
feeding us grapes.

- Red or green grapes?
- Don't be caught in the details, Chels.

Is it just me, or is
he really bad at this?

Yeah, it's definitely
not just you.

I gotta go back in.

Olivia! Time to highlight!

Hey, hey, Jason, great job.

Yeah, you
definitely have a gift.

You just need to unwrap it.

Off camera.

How you doin' there, Tess?

I don't know, Levi.

It's a real
slip-and-slide up in here.

I would give you a hand,

but I'm a little tied up
here right now. Ha, ha!

This is not the time
for jokes, Houdini.

Oh, my gosh. You
are runway-ready.

Now, let's just finish this
look off with a matte lip.

Wow.

If being president
doesn't work out,

I could just become
a makeup artist.

Nah, who am I kidding?
President's definitely gonna work out.

Nia Baxter-Carter, .

Go for Spitz at the carver
Peanuts live stream telethon.

A hundred dollars?

Oh, that's very generous.

What? He is like
freakishly good at this.

Oh, yeah? Yeah? Well,
he's not better than me.

Watch and learn. I'm about
to sprinkle some Raven

- on this script.
- Okay.

Hello?

Go for Raven at the carver
Peanuts live stream telethon.

Do you care about
the dreams of children?

Girl, that pledge will
only give one dream.

I said "dreams"!

Hello, yes, yes.
Go for "insert name"

at the carver Peanuts
live stream telethon.

Do you care about
the dreams of children?

Um. You know what,
sir? I had a dream.

I did once. I did.
I was the lead

in the traveling
company love is blind."

And if we only had the
support of a sponsor like you,

we could have made
it to the Broadway.

Listen, listen. Let me
tell you a story, all right?

It's about a girl
with hoop dreams.

She lived across the
hall from a successful...

Talented entrepreneur.

Let's just call her "maven."

A hundred and
fifty dollars? Well...

To stop talking. Okay,
great. Thanks so much.

Three hundred dollars?

Three hundred
dollars? We'll take it!

- Yeah!
- Put it on the board.

I'm your man with the
plan, Booker Baxter-Carter.

And I'm the boss
with the sauce, Lil Lo-Lo.

And you...

Just heard a dramatic
monologue by Nakeita Evans.

Or what some might call...

A moving soliloquy.

But, um, ha, coming up next,

we have Levi...

Not yet, not yet. Give
me five more minutes.

Okay, well, while we're waiting
for our magician to get ready,

i-i have a joke.

Uh, why did the
chicken cross the road?

To get away from that old joke
and to get to some fresh ones

across the street?

This guy.

Hey, hey. Why, why, why
don't you go somewhere?

Fine. The talents need
to take five anyway.

I'll be in my dressing room.

It's the janitor's closet.

Hey, uh, Nia, the
audience loves you.

Get back out here.

Nia, Nia, Nia. Do
not get back out there.

I can't afford to
lose another player.

Tess, what are
you talking about?

Thanks to your makeup tutorials,

Olivia got discovered
on our live stream,

and was offered a
modeling contract.

She's not going to Miami.

She's filming a
commercial in Michigan.

No way!

No way.

No. No, if she was gonna
give up on the team that easily,

I did you a favor.

Well, now our team
has no starting center,

and we still have
$ , left to raise.

Oh, and the gym is sinking
further below sea level.

All right, everyone.
Let's welcome back

everyone's favorite
flautist, Jason.

Look, don't worry, Tess.

Don't cry. We can fix this.

I'm not crying.
I'm just irritated

that you can't stop fighting
with Lil Lo-Lo long enough

to announce people.

And you can't even get
out of that straight jacket!

I'm trying! The MeTube
video made this look so easy.

Well, now I'm
covered in rain water,

and my shoes are
making weird noises.

Ugh.

If one more thing goes wrong,

we're not gonna be able...

Hello? Hello?

Thanks, Jason.

Well, power's out.

Guess that's the
end of the live stream.

The first time the Peanuts have
made it to nationals in forever,

and we can't even go.

I'm such a failure.

Tess, you're doing a great job.

This is a big event, and we
raised a decent amount of money.

But not enough.

Don't be so hard
on yourself, Tess.

- You can't control the weather.
- But as team captain,

I should be able to.

I heard myself.

I'm a little out of control.

Tess, you're putting too
much pressure on yourself.

And yes, I know that's
hilarious, coming from me.

Look, Tess, you're the captain.

- But you're the captain of a team.
- Mm-hmm.

And we're part
of your team, too.

We can help you.

Just tag us in.

Tess, it's a sign.

- We can't give up now.
- Yes.

We can still get that
live stream back on track.

How?

I mean, look at this mess.

- I'll handle the buckets.
- Ooh. I'll mop.

- And host.
- Mm.

Levi?

Look, I'm doing the best I can.

Okay. We're back on live.

Let's see how it goes.

Oh, great. The power outage must
have messed up the money counter.

Check it out.

Look, I am on our yo! Fund me
page, and look at these comments.

They can't believe that the
Peanuts made it to nationals

playing in a
run-down gym like this.

- They're donating.
- Should we clean up a little more?

No. No, no. These leaks are
playing great with our audience.

I know what else is playing
great with our audience.

Lil Lo-Lo.

What's up, chicken jokes?

Look, I need you
by my side, bruh.

So you finally realized you
can't do this without me, huh?

Ha! I didn't say that.

We're like Steph and Klay.

I've got a lot of great ideas.

Are your ideas just
a bunch of backflips?

Wow. That's better
than what I had.

This next act is like nothing
you've ever seen before.

It requires skill.
And dexterity.

And a little bit of this.

Eh!

Please join us in introducing...

Philip, the phenomenal flipper.

Whoa. He's done it.

I can't believe it, folks.

A two-hander. That's
one for the record books.

Don't embarrass yourself, bruh.

He's over here
trying to out-flip water.

Thank you for your
generous donation.

I think that is it for me,
Chels. I am exhausted.

Yep. Right?

We fought hard, you know?
And we raised a lot of money.

Yeah, but, was it enough?

- Did we b*at coach Spitz?
- Oh.

I don't think we'll ever find
out, and you know what?

- I'm too tired to care.
- Yeah.

- Ladies.
- Hey!

What are you here for, to gloat?

I just came to thank you for
your incredible dedication today.

You two raised $ , .

Yes! Yes! Yes!

- We did that.
- Yeah, we did!

Wait a second. How
much did you raise?

Oh. I raised, uh, fifty dollars.

- What?
- What can I say?

I don't have the gift of gab.

I inflated he amounts I was
raising so you'd compete with me.

You played us? That was low.

But a really good idea. We
should use that on the kids.

Yeah.

I'm coach Spitz. I know
how to motivate people.

Otherwise... Well,
otherwise, I'd just be Spitz.

- Go, mama peanut.
- Aah, aah!

It's Miami Peanuts now, coach.

- Okay.
- Yeah! Yes!

- All right, yeah, Miami!
- Yeah.

So...

Tess, did we do it?
Can we be done yet?

If you're asking if
we made $ , ,

the answer is no.

Oh.

We made $ , .

The 'nuts are
going to nationals!

Great job, O'Malley.

You were a real trouper today.

Now we have enough
to go to nationals,

- and help the school repair the roof.
- Mm-hmm.

I saw you hustling
out there today.

Cleaning up spills.
Keeping things moving.

You're a real leader, Tess.

Thanks, coach. I doubted
myself for a minute.

Well, that was a wasted minute.

Because I never doubted you.

We're lucky to
have you as captain.

Hey, that was my vision.

Well, I am so glad
you got it wrong.

Ah, you know, that, that
happens every once in a while.

Would you like to do the honors?

I would love to.

Go, Peanuts!

Go, Peanuts!

Levi, let's just get the scissors
and cut you out of it, honey.

No, that's not magic.

Yo, we're tired.

We want to go to bed!

The live stream ended hours ago.

Magic doesn't adhere to
the rules of time and space.

Ta-da!

Uh, excuse me.
A little applause?

Oh. Whoo! We get to go to bed!

Voila! And the
family disappears.
