02x06 - Get Ready to Go-Go

[bunniefuu]

So, you know who
you're going to ask

to the dance on Friday?

It's never good being "new girl"
when it comes to dances.

Everybody's already matched up,

so the only guys left
are the ones nobody wants.

If it makes you feel any better,

I haven't asked
anybody yet, either.

Oh, please.

You know your going to ask Phil.

Phil? Diffy?

Ok, I want to,

but this isn't
a casual mall date.

It's a dance date.

Asking him is... Complicated.

There's nothing complicated

about asking a guy to a dance.

First you show him a little leg...

[boy] Hey!

Then, after he's fallen for you,

you sweet talk him.
Yo, freckles!

You're taking me
to the dance this Friday!

Yeah, right.

In my never-in-a-million-years mobile.

What's wrong?
You don't like the trippy-trippy?

Li'l Danny Dawkins,
what do you want?

Word on the street is
you're lookin' for a date to the dance.

Wanna walk with the dawg?

Ooh, that's awesome! Keep going.

That's it.
Keep going around the corner.

- Don't fall.
- [crash]

[Danny] I got Pimified!

That is so not how
you walk on the moon.

Go ahead, ask him.

[whispering] Stop it!

Hey.

Oh, I just remembered,

I'm supposed to be
anywhere but here.

Uh...

So... um...

Y-You know the dance on Friday?

- Ladies' choice?
- Yeah.

- The one where girls ask guys?
- Yeah.

Where a girl, say,
who has a friend... a guy friend...

Has to build up the courage

to ask said guy friend to a dance?

Yes, that's the dance.

What about it?

Well, uh...

I was thinking of going,

and, uh, if you're
thinking of going,

we... we might as well
take the same car.

You know, for the environment.

Oh... yeah.

And while we're there,
we might as well dance together.

You know, to the same song.

For the environment.

- Cool.
- Cool.

Bye.

[needle scratches record]

I'm just really happy
for the environment. Ahem.

Me, too.

Whoo-hoo! Everybody get in here!

Oh, what now?

What happened?
Are you all right?

Huh? Huh? Ha ha!

We ran all the way in here

to see the broken
time machine... Again?

No, no. I finally managed to refract the
energy of the time machine

back into an asymptotic curve,

creating temporal singularity.

Sounds great. Riveting.

Hold it!

I'm sure what your
father woke us up

in the middle of
the night to tell us

- is something very...
- Boring.

And important.

Go on, sweetie.

Just try and wrap it up.

Ok, how 'bout this
for a little wrap-up?

We're goin' home!
Ha ha ha ha! Yeah!

No, I rel... I really
mean it this time.

[crickets chirping]

Really!

[beeping, whooshing]

Aah! Ha ha ha!

No more hiding from hackett!

No more pesky background checks
just to rent a bulldozer.

No more...

No more Keely.

You haven't asked
anybody to the dance yet?

I only really know


Ahoy, ladies.

You see my problem.

What do you think
of the new school flag?

Are those underpants?

Yes, they are. Mm-hmm.

A nice, fresh pair
for the entire student body.

Wanna hear the new pledge?

- No!
- No!

There's the bell.
Better go to math.

I didn't hear a bell.

Work with me.

So, Keel...

Asked someone to the dance yet?

A-As a matter of fact...

Hey, guys.

- Hey, yo, Diff.
- Hey.

Um, Owen, you mind
if we talk for a second?

Is this about the magazine
I ordered under your name?

'Cause I'm really sorry.

I meant me and Keely.

Oh. Gotcha. All right.

People, this general
area around here

is strictly off limits

while Phil and Keely
talk privately.

So, what's up?

Something huge has happened.

- You got us a limo for the dance?
- No.

We're taking the skyak!

Oh, now I've gotta plan a totally
different outfit.

And my hair.

I cannot have helmet-head hair.
No, no.

Keely, um...

My dad fixed the time machine.

What?!

That is so awesome!

That...

That means you're...
You're going home.

[sighs] When?

Tomorrow.

That's just...

That... that's great.

[sighs]

We saw you get dissed yesterday

when you asked that guy
to the dance.

Too bad you didn't ask
our Serbian exchange student.

All he can say is "yes."

First of all, Veritmas Klovovak

has also learned to say,

[serbian accent] "Not in face."

And second of all,
I don't need him

because I have a boyfriend.

It's true.
His name is Li'l Danny...

His name is Jake.

Oh.

And he's the quarterback
of the school football team.

What school? I've dated
all the local quarterbacks.

He's not from around here.

He's from Handsome... Town.

You have a boyfriend
in Handsometown?

- East or west?
- East.

Hmm. So he's got money.

Guess I'll meet him
at the dance.

Unfortunately,
my family is moving tomorrow.

How convenient. You're moving,

and now we can't meet
your boyfriend.

Yeah. Jake would
be crying if he wasn't so manly.

Instead, he's just punching trees.

[laughter]

All my things are
packed and shrunk.

Phil, will you
hold this one down for me

while I try to latch it?

Ah. Pim, are you packed?

Never unpacked, ma.

[expl*si*n]

Oh, Lloyd! What happened?

- What happened?
- Dad!

The particle tube ignited,

causing the element condenser

to refract the energy
of the time machine

into a parabolic curve,
which created a duality of temporal time,

which is...

We're not going home.

At least, not anytime soon.

Nooooooo!

Unh!

Oh, kids... I'm so sorry.

Phil...

[door shuts]

Keely! Keely! I have great news.
I'm not leaving.

Are you serious? That's awesome!

I know. At least, not for a while.

How long is a while?

I don't know.

Are you gonna be here
for senior prom?

I don't know.

Are you gonna
be here for Groundhog Day,

Christmas, my Sweet 16?

I don't know, Keel.
But I do know

I'm gonna be here tomorrow night to
go to the dance with you.

What?

- You told me you were leaving.
- So?

Phil, I'm sorry.

I already asked Owen.

Oh, honey. Lloyd,

I want to order
this cable net sweater.

Ok, are we still gonna be here in


I don't understand
how you guys can live like this.

How can you stand not knowing?

Oh, honey, it's just the way
the catalogs work.

Um, it could be 4 days,
it could be 7.

It's coming all the way
from their warehouse in Handsometown.

I'm talking about us leaving.

Of never knowing
when it's gonna happen.

Are we gonna be here
for my senior prom?

Are we gonna be here
for Groundhogs Day?

For Christmas? For my Sweet 16?

Whatever.

We know how frustrating
this must be for you.

It can be hard
dealing with uncertainty.

But truth is, we just don't know
when we're going home.

If only the particle tube
hadn't ignited,

the element condenser wouldn't have
shifted parabolically...

And we'd have
a temporal singularity.

Well, you know what?
I'm tired of hearing about

pieces of the time machine
that are missing

or broken or...

Phil, as hard as it is,

we need to stick
together as a family

and make the most of it.

Well, I need to
figure out my life.

I need to make plans.

I need to dance!

There's a day for groundhogs?

Oh, it's the future
trophy wives club.

We heard you're not
moving anymore.

Guess we'll see you at the dance

with your boyfriend.

Jake can't make it. He got sick.

Aww, did he come down
with the fake flu?

I hear that causes
a real messy case

of I-don't-exist-arrhea.

The truth is he's got a fever,

so he's even hotter than usual.

But you know what?

Fever or no fever,

he will be at that dance
parading me around

like the catch I am.

Word on the street is
you don't have a boyfriend.

Why don't you let Dan
be your man?

I have a boyfriend.

But can he do this?

Did you finish
my report on Norway?

"Norway: Fairyland of Fjords."

Hey, nice title.

And finally, wedding bells
are ringing...

Dude, I hope you're cool with me going
to the dance with Keely.

Of course not.

And I hope you're cool
with me doing this.

Heh heh heh heh heh.

Oh h* h*! Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Dude! No pen is this funny.

I'm out. Later.

- Veeeeeeee... hi.
- Ohhhhhhhhhh...

You don't look so good.

It's, uh... it's kinda personal.

Listen, since you're dateless,

and my fear of rejection
has prevented me from asking anyone yet...

Sure. Yeah. Yeah,
I'll go with you. Why not?

Oh, I wasn't asking.

I was just sharing
something personal.

Oh.

I'm kidding. I'm asking.

Please don't say no.

[sighs]

I could not go to the dance,

but then they'll think
I don't have a boyfriend.

I could hire a dr*fter
to play the part of my boyfriend,

but there goes
my dr*fter budget for the month.

I think it's time to show
those fashion zombies

how you get a date
in the year 2121.

[whirring]

Uh, go long.

No. Ok, here's the deal.

Your name is Jake,
you like to go to dances,

and most importantly,
you're my arm candy.

Cool. Go long.

[gasps]

You look fantastic.

Don't they, boys?

Yeah.

Yeah, they look great.

Actually, I'd say
they're the second and third

best-looking women
in the room, Mrs. Diffy.

Ha ha. Thank you, O-dawg.

- Smooth.
- [door shuts]

Ok, before I take you
to the dance,

let's take some pictures.

Everyone come on.
Couple up. Here we go.

- Um... sorry.
- Oh...

Hurry it up, Dad.

Well, we want to remember this moment
forever, don't we?

Yep. That's exactly
what we want to do.

Hey, I know...

Why don't we get a picture

- of Phil and Keely together?
- Yeah.

- Oh...
- No. It's really...

Come on, you two.

Scooch together,
you guys. Come on.

Great. We should
get going. Where's Pim?

Uh, Pim's gonna
sit this one out.

Your daughter couldn't get a date.

[Pim] I heard that!

And so did my sweet,
lovable date.

Jake! Get in here!

Pim... you and
that complete stranger

look fabulous.

Did you hear my emphasis
on "complete stranger"?

Oh, don't worry about it, Mom.
He's a repliboy.

I got him out of a catalog.

Oh. Oh.

Your secret's safe with me.

Everyone, this is my date Jake.

Ok, a picture with Pim and Jake.

This kid was born
for the camera.

Give me another one.

Yes. That's what
I'm talkin' about.

Come on, now. Come on.
Here we go. Here we go.

Work with me.

You should think
about modeling. Come on, do it.

Sell it, 'cause I'm buyin'.

Let's go! Yeah!

Dad. Dad. Remember
how you told me

to let you know when
you're making

the whole room feel
uncomfortable?

Sorry.

I'll send you the proofs.

[scratching]

[dance music playing]

So, uh... You wanna dance?

I'd love to...

Watch you and Owen dance.

Vee and I are gonna
get some drinks.

Um... right now.

Ok, pretty boy,
tonight's all about Pim.

You talk about Pim,
you dance with Pim,

you're crushing on Pim. Got it?

Got it. Go long.

Oh...

Oh, Jake, your funniness
makes you all the more handsome.

Is that you, Candida?

I thought you were
a microphone stand.

Oh, meet my boyfriend Jake.

Yeah, right.

Whatever she's paying you
to date her,

I'll double it if you dump her.

I only think about Pim.

I dance with Pim.

I'm crushin' on Pim.

Pim.

Who's this Pim
everyone's talking about?

Oh, it's me!

Did you hear the football team's

stuffing themselves
into the equipment closet?

- What? Who'd wanna...
- No way.

Yeah. They're at 26.

They need one more bloke

to break the school record

for Handsometown High.

What? I'm there. Yeah.

Oh, no. My coat's
in that closet.

Phil, dance with Keely.

Um...

Actually, I don't feel
like dancing anymore.

And I love your


Oh, thanks.

I really dig your
evergreen organza c*ck dress

with embroidered overlay.

Classic look.

Those sequins really make it
fashion forward.

Cool. Guys never notice work

I put in my ensembles. [Giggles]

I knew I should have
splurged and gotten a dr*fter.

So... you having a good time?

Oh, you mean me?

I thought maybe
you were talking to your date Via.

I only agreed to go with her

after you decided to ask Owen.

I asked Owen after you decided

to leave this century.

I'm not even interested in Owen.

I told you the next day
I was staying.

And you look pretty darn hot

for somebody who's
not interested in Owen.

The next day was too late.

And you look pretty
darn adorable

for someone who's
not interested in Via.

You're not interested in Via, right?

Of course not.
I'm just adorable.

Sorry for making up
that whole thing about the closet.

I just wanted to
get them talking again.

Hey, it was better than my plan.

You wanted to help them?

That doesn't sound like you.

Oh, the O-dawg comes
in many flavors,

thoughtfulness
being one of them.

What was your plan?

Oh, same as yours,

except in mine you had a giant tarantula
on your neck,

and we had to go
to the hospital.

[laughs]

Hey, Li'l Danny.

If you heard the word
on the street,

you know it's
Grandmaster Double-D.

Where's your boyfriend?

The fashion zombies ate his brain.

So... you need a shorty?

Well...

Can you take over for a second?

'Cause I've just had
about 16 glasses of orange punch.

Ha ha. You got it, Double-D.

Thanks, Li'l Pim.

[scratching]

Look, I'm sorry about
how all this turned out.

I don't know if
I can do this, Phil.

It is really hard
to have a friendship with someone

who could just...
disappear in a second.

I'm here right now.

Yeah, but you could
be gone tomorrow.

You obviously
haven't seen my dad

trying to fix the time machine.

I'm serious, Phil.

Look, Keel,

I learned a couple things
from time traveling.

One, never order the fish...

In any century.

Duh.

What's the other thing?

Timing literally is everything,

so you better make the most

of what's happening right now.

I don't know if I can do that.

Well, I can't blame ya.

But I'll try.

[slow dance song plays]

You want to dance?

[needle scratches record]

[fast-tempo beat now playing]

All right, party people,

it's time to Pim up the volume!

[scratching]

See what I mean about timing?

Yeah.

[man over P.A.]
Last dance, everyone.

Last dance.

Huh? Huh?

[giggling, laughing]

You mean all this time
you could have replaced

the temporal
photonic beam splitter

with... a disco ball?

- [bang bang]
- [machine goes dead]

[Lloyd coughs]

Apparently not.

A disco ball!
What was I thinking?!

Waffle iron!

Yes!

Hey, Phil, um...
I'm gonna head home.

Wait.

Um...

Something else
I learned from time travel.

Sometimes you gotta
create your own timing.
