[Luke] When Luke Became Stu

[Luke] Mom! Are you about to draw a picture?

Uh huh! I need to sketch some action poses for my art class.

Oooh! Can I be in it?!

I need to draw someone who can hold the poses for a

very long time...so I asked Stu to help me with it.

Hey, Stu?

[trills]

Please strike an action pose on the table and

hold really still, so I can draw you.

[trills]

Perrrrfect! [chuckle] See, Stu's got it covered!

[sigh] Okay.

[Liana] Wuh uh. Girl, I don't think so.

[Liana] C'mon, be serious.

What's going on?

Our room is supposed to be a / split.

But I think Louisa's side of the room is bigger than mine.

And I think Liana's side is bigger.

They look the same to me.

[Louisa] Nuh uh! [Liana] No way!

And there's only one way

to know for sure whose side is bigger--

By bustin' out the tape measure and measuring each side!

[gasp] Can I help?!

No thanks, Lukey.

We already asked Stu to help us!

He's really precise.

Yeah, and we need to know down to the millimeter!

Oh.

[trills]

Yay, Stu, you found it!

Now let's settle this!

[sigh]

Almost...almost!

[Louis] There. [chuckle] [Lyla] Yes!

Oh wow, a card castle!

Can I help?!

[Lyla] [gasp] [Luke] Please?!

Aww, Luke!

Oops!

I didn't mean to!

I can help you rebuild it!

[sigh] That's okay.

Stu can rebuild it super fast!

Hey Stu, please rebuild the card castle

exactly how it was before it fell.

[trills]

Thanks!

Thank you, Stu!

Luke, would you like to add a card--

--really, really gently?

No thanks.

Okay! Your turn, Stu!

Please add a card.

[trills]

I wish I could be like Stu...

Wait...I have an idea.

[Stu] [trilling like an alarm clock]

Why'd you call a Loops Alarm?

Everything okay?

Yeah, what's on your mind, Lukey Pookie?

[sigh] Nobody lets me help them do anything, but Stu

gets to help do EVERYTHING!

[Luke] Stu gets to have all the fun.

I decided I wanna BE Stu!

[laugh]Good one, Luke.

Wait, you're serious?

Uh huh.

But Stu is really good at doing a lot of things.

Some, we're not even that good at.

I can do it! I know I can!

I'm not a baby anymore!

But we love you the way you are.

That's right!

We don't want you to be anyone but yourself,

Lil' Man Loops.

Plus, if you're Stu, who would be Luke, Luke?

Stu!

I'll teach Stu how to be Luke, and I'll be Stu.

Right, Stu?

[trills]

See, we high-fived on it!

So, starting tomorrow morning,

I'm him and he's me.

Okay Stu, here's how to be a good Luke.

You have to eat a bowl of cereal once a day.

[trills]

You have to care a lot about socks and trains.

[trills]

And you have to answer to the name "Luke".

Sound good?

[trills]

Hold up, Luke.

[Stu] [trills] [Lyla] I think you forgot some instructions.

Like what?

That Stu shouldn't just answer to people calling him

"“Luke,"” but also "“Lukey"”--

Don't forget about "“Lil' Man Loops"”--

--or "“Lukey Pookie."”

And Luke must give Mom one bear hug a day.

And Luke has to whine about something

at least two times a day.

I don't whine!

Hey. I guess I do.

Got all that, Stu?

[trills]

Stu, do you have any tips for me on how to be Stu?

Uhh, Stu's good at listening to all our instructions,

so maybe start with that.

Listening!

That makes sense.

Okay, well, goodnight!

Got a big day of being Stu tomorrow!

[chuckling] Alright, sleep tight.

Hey Luke!

Why don't you get a head start and sleep

in Stu's hammock tonight?

And Stu can sleep in your bed.

[giggles]

Good idea!

Hey Stu, sleep in my bed tonight

and I'll sleep up there.

[trills]

[trills]

I was just kidding...

Ah...There!

Nice...and...cozy.

Uhh... night?

[uncomfortable] Night!

[Stu] [snoring] [Lydia] Stu! Hey, Stu!

[yawn] Stu, Mom's calling you.

[Lydia] Hey, STUUUU!

Oh wait! That's me!

Coming! I mean, brr-brrr!

Morning, Stu!

Could you please squeeze a pitcher of fresh OJ for us

all to drink with breakfast?

[trilling] Brr-Brrr.

[exerted pushing] Phew!

Oh Legendary Loops Crew, Sunday breakfast is served!

[Louis] Yeah! [Lydia] [laughing]

Morning!

Good morning!

Morning, Mom!

Morning, Stu!

[trilling] Brr-Brrr.

He's really going through with it.

Yeah, he really is.

Lyla, where's Luke?

[Stu] [trills]

[trills]

Good Morning, Lukey Pookie.

[trills]

[Luke] [trilling] Brr-brrr.

[trills]

[trills]

[trills]

Yeah, how's the orange juice going, Stu?

[exerting effort] [sigh]

Uhh, let's drink water instead!

Luke, could you get the water pitcher for me?

And Stu, I'm gonna change your instructions a little bit.

When you have squeezed HALF a cup of juice, you can stop

and have your own breakfast.

[sigh of relief] [trilling] Brrrrrr.

[exerting effort]

I finished!

Oh, I mean-- [trilling] Brrrrr!

Well, that took FOREVER.

[yawn]

But at least I can have my cereal now.

[Liana] Stu!

[Liana] Hey Stu!

[Louisa] We need your help with something!

Oof-a-loof.

[trilling] Brrrrr!

Stu!

Could you help us practice our duet for band by using

this drum to keep the b*at?

[trilling] Brrr-brrrr!

Great!

Okay, Stu, when I say "“go"” use this to hit the drum

every other b*at--

Like this: ONE-two-three-four.

ONE- two-three-four.

[trilling] Brr-brr!

Perfect! Now, our practice sesh can begin!

And, go!

[rhythmic band music begins to play]

[chaotic band music with off time drum beats]

Stu, stop.

Well...thanks for your help, Stu.

Yeah, you did such

an...interesting job keeping the b*at.

[Lyla] Hey, Stu! Is that you?

[Lyla] Can you come here, please?

[sigh] [trilling] Brr-brr. [yawn]

Y'know we're gonna have to practice that again, Right?

Mmhmm. Oh yeah.

Wanna build with tiles?

We can make an amusement park with rides and stuff!

That's not how you play with trains!

Hey, Luke, why don't you come play with me and Stu?!

[trills]

Alright, Luke and Stu,

I'll build the bumper car ride, cause that's my favorite.

Stu, how about you build a Ferris wheel?!

[Lyla] And Luke, you build the super coolest fun ride you can think of!

LET'S DO IT!

[trills]

Stu, this is, um, a great start!

[trilling] Brrr.

[gasp] But it's kinda hard to make a whole Ferris wheel with tiles.

And Luke, the ride you made is...just a cube!

[trills]

Huh.

I guess a cube is fun for you?

[trills]

Well, I sure would love to hear what the old

Luke would've come up with.

Probably something super creative and one-of-a-kind!

[trills]

That's it!

[trilling like an alarm clock]

Luke, wait!

Why'd you call the Loops Alarm, Lu-- Stu?

Because I don't wanna be Stu anymore!

I wanted to do all the stuff he gets to do, but he does

too much stuff, and none of it is the stuff I wanna do!

I should be playing with trains and building cool

towers, and stuff, not Stu!

We agree!

You do?!

Yeah!

Stu did a...unique job at being you, but he did not

compare to the real deal Luke Loops!

That's right!

You're the best at being Luke and Stu's the best at

being Stu!

Well, I wanna be Luke again, BUT only if you promise to

let me help more.

I'm not a baby.

[in unison] We promise!

Okay.

I'm ready to be Luke again, from now til infinity.

[trills]

And I bet you wanna be Stu again too, right?

[trills]

[in unison] [cheering]

[yawn]

Oh my sweet, little Lukey Pookie worked so hard today.

I'm still not...a baby...[snoring].

I love making music on this app.

When I tap the piano keys on the screen, they play different notes.

[piano notes play]

[Stu] [mimicking piano notes]

Then I thought, "“Hmm, what if I made a piano that's a

little different?"”

Like with...

...pickles!

Wait, how can pickles be a piano?

I'll show you!

The tablet is connected to this special circuit board,

which is connected to the pickles.

To play the piano, I hold this

wire in one hand--

And when I tap a pickle-- [piano note plays]

--the circuit board senses it, and sends a signal to the tablet.

And it plays a note!

[piano notes play]

NO.

WAY.

Can I try?

Here ya go!

Each pickle plays a different note!

[piano notes play] [Louisa] [squeals] Yes!

Now gimme a b*at.

[trills]

[hand drumming begins]

[chuckle] Okay!

Here we go!

[hip hop b*at with piano begins to play]

MC Lou, so sweet and sour, Makin' music with

pickle power, Put this little b*at in a jar, The lid goes

POP, I'mma be a star.

Pickle Pow-ah!

[trills]

[Stu] [grunt]

Secret Surprise Party

Okay everyone, tomorrow is going to be

the third anniversary of Loops Lunch.

And we're going to do something big.

Yay!

What's an anniversary?

It's kind of like a birthday for the diner.

Yeah, Mom and Dad opened Loops Lunch three years ago.

See, here's a picture of the Grand Opening.

We're going to throw a surprise party for Mom and

Dad to celebrate!

I can't wait to see the look on their faces.

It'll be all like- [big gasp]

[laugh] Yeah, they'll be so surprised!

[Lydia] Who'll be surprised?

[in unison] Huh? Wha...? Nobody?

I think Luke said, "“Who doesn't love FRIES..."”

Right Luke?

Yeah!

They taste really good with my...uh, cereal!

Mom, can I have some fries?

Please?!

Uh...

Okay, I'll see if Dad has any.

[in unison] [sigh of relief]

We can't let Mom and Dad find out

about the party or it won't be a surprise at all.

Secret meeting.

Our room.

Now!

[trills]

But what about the fries?!

[trills]

[Lyla] Stu, we're going to make a list of stuff we need for

the party.

Could you please draw all the things we choose?

[trills]

We're gonna need a cake...

Oooo, carrot cake is Mom's favorite, Stu.

What else?

Oooh, I'll decorate.

And it's not a party without guests!

Ooh!

Add party hats.

What about you, Lyla?

What are you gonna do?

I'm going to make a slideshow.

With lots of pictures of our family at Loops Lunch over

the last three years!

What about me?! What do I get to do?!

You have a super important job, Luke.

We need you to--

Fry delivery!

[Luke] You need me to do what?

Lyla!

What?!

What? What's-what?

What the what?

What's up?

Nothing.

Not a thing.

Thanks Dad.

[trills]

[gasp] Hey Dad, is that a giant pigeon over there?!

Hey!

Pigeon?!

Hey?

What the...?

Hmm.

[trills]

[Lyla] That was a close call.

Yeah.

We've gotta be more careful or we'll-- ow!-- ruin the surprise.

I still don't know what I'm s'posed to do!

Your job is to keep Mom and Dad busy and away from Loops Lunch

while we set up the surprise party.

I think we need to find a way to make secret plans

without hiding in a closet all on top of each other.

I know!

We can come up with signals and secret code names that

only we know.

It'll be like we're secret agents!

Everyone come up with your own signals and code names

for Mom and Dad.

We'll put our plan in action tomorrow.

[in unison] [struggling] [Louisa] Watch it!

[in unison] Ahhhh!

[Louis] Hey, what was that noise?

[Louis] Is everything okay?

[trills]

All right.

Thank you, Stu.

I suppose.

[trills]

[camera shutters]

The tiger will be in the pet store soon.

[shivering] The snow cones are in the cooler, ready to melt.

[grunting]

[whispering] What? That's my signal.

It means, "“Get started with the party plans."”

Seriously? How're we supposed to know that?

Yeah.

We need to agree on the SAME signals and the SAME code names.

Let's go to the bathroom.

We'll have privacy in there.

[Lyla] We all came up with different signals and didn't

tell each other what they meant.

We need to use the same signals and code names that

we agree on!

[Lyla] Right.

So, first, let's pick code names for Mom and Dad.

Oh!

Meerkat, for Mom!

And Toucan, for Dad!

Great!

Luke, how will you keep them out of the way today?

I'm gonna get '‘em to take me to the park to fly my kite.

What if they say no?

Then I'll do this.

Nice one, Lukey.

Yeah, I used to have a great sad- puppy face, too.

Here, take this walkie-talkie to let us know

how things are going.

We'll let you know when it's safe to bring them back for

the party.

Wait, how can we secretly warn each other if Mom and

Dad are nearby?

How about this:

'Throw ya hands in the air, and wave '‘em like ya just don't care!'

[trills]

Oh yeah, that's perfect.

We also need a code word we can all recognize in case of

an emergency.

We can yell, "“Watch out!"”

Too obvious.

How about, "“RAZZAMATAZZ"”?

[Stu] [trills] [Liana] Ooo, I like that.

Great!

Ready, set, let's put our plans in action!

[knocking] [in unison] [gasp]

[Louis] Anyone in the bathroom?

[in unison] Yes!

What are all of you doing in there together?

[in unison] RAZZAMATAZZ!

RASAKA-MAKAZAA!

[yelling and panting]

All right, what's going on, Luke?

Nothing.

Except, ummm...Can you and Mom take me to the park to

fly my kite?

Today?

Pleaseeee???

[sigh] Sure. Yeah, we can go!

Let's go ask Mom.

I can't go to the park.

I've gotta finish photographing the specials

for the new menu - remember?

Luke Laquarius Loops, that sad- puppy face usually

works on me, but not today.

[laughs] You two go on and have fun.

My laces came loose, Dad.

Go on, I'll catch up.

All right.

Luke to Lyla.

Come in.

Lyla here.

The Toucan is on the grass, but the Meerkat wouldn't

leave the house...

I mean the nest.

Don't worry, we'll handle Meerkat.

Over.

Stu.

[trills]

Go to our apartment.

If Mom, I mean "“Meerkat"” tries to leave - try to

distract her.

If she still tries to leave, then--

Run to us, throw ya hands in the air and wave '‘em like you

just don't care.

[trills]

[panting] Hey!

Maybe we should wait to fly your kite on a windy day.

But Dad!

No, come on, we've been out here over an hour and--

[Louis] No, no.

Not the face!

Hmm...

I think a different kind of bread would look better?

[trills]

Oh, thanks Stu, but I'd prefer a baguette

and I believe we have some diner kitchen...

[trills]

[trills]

[trills]

[trills]

[trills]

[trills]

Yeah, Stu! I got the cake!

WOOT- WOOT!

[Louisa] I got the cake WOOT-WOOT! [Stu] [trills]

[Louisa] I got-- [Stu] [panicked trill]

Wait! You're telling me Meerkat has left the nest!?

[trills]

Why is she coming down here?

[trills]

[sigh] This elevator is so slow. [gasp]

Good thing I'm really fast.

Here's ya' baguette.

How did you--?

It's much faster going up!

Bye!

[trills]

Phew!

[out of breath] Okay.

Woo, that's it.

I give up.

Boy, that sad puppy face ain't workin' on this old

dawg anymore.

We're going home!

RASAKA-MAKAZAA!

I mean RAZZAMATAZZ!

Toucan's on his way!

It's go time.

Hurry!

Mom, can you come downstairs with me, please?

[Lydia] I'm busy right-- [Lyla] [whimpering]

Awwww, honey!

Follow me, Mom!

You won't be sorry.

I promise!

What's up?

Where you going?

I wish I knew.

[Lydia] [gasp] [in unison] SURPRISE!

Today is the three year anniversary of Loops Lunch!

So we decided to throw a party!

You're surprised, right?

Well...yeah!

Lyla had us come up with code names and signals so we

could talk to each other without you finding out.

Mmmm, you kids are something else!

And that's not all, Lyla has one more amazing thing to

show you!

Friends, family, and loyal customers,

lend me your ears!

Welcome to our Three Year Anniversary celebration!

[cheering and clapping]

I made a slideshow, I hope you enjoy.

Three years ago today, Loops Lunch opened for the first time.

[in unison] Awww.

[Lyla] It was a fun new adventure.

[Lyla] It wasn't easy at first.

But we got the hang of it.

[Lyla] And made a lot of new friends.

Now Loops Lunch is a big hit, because of all of you.

[Lyla] Woohoo! [Crowd] [cheering]

I don't know what to say.

I do!

Let's take a family picture so we'll have it for the

next Loops Lunch Anniversary!

Three, two, one!

[in unison] RAZZAMATAZZ! [Luke] RASAKA-MAKAZAA!
