02x17 - Snitches Get Stitches

Post by bunniefuu »

- Ouch! - Ah! Ah!

Christian! You about to catch these hands.

I'm from the Chi.

- I don't even know what that means.

- Doesn't matter.

Why are you in the recycling bin?

- The A.V. club is putting together a video yearbook.

I need to get footage of everybody acting

as natural as possible.

- That's not creepy at all.

Well, I hope you have another camera,

'cause my shine's about to break that one.

I'm performing at the Spirit Day celebration tonight!

- Congratulations. That's the biggest event

of the year. Games, dunk tanks,

everybody will be there.

- I know, and people who don't know my music

can see my flow. This could lead

to a whole new crops of Dylan's Villains.

That's what I call my fans. I know, the name needs work.

- I hope you're doing "Free Thinker."

That song is lit.

- You know I am.

- I can't wait. I better get back to work.

This video yearbook isn't going to film itself.

A little help please. - Gotcha.

Good?

- Yo, Dylan. - DYLAN: Yo.

- What's good? - 'Sup Freddie?

You staying out of trouble?

- Man, you know me and trouble are like twins,

we're inseparable.

- Yeah, and I also know you've gotten detention so much,

Principal Matthews gave you a punch card.

- But on the tenth one, I get a week off from school.

- I think that's called suspension.

- Want to see something cool?

- Stink spray?

- Yeah. Has the power of , stink bugs in one spray.

- Whoa. So why do you have it?

- I'm going to toss it in the teacher's lounge at lunch.

It's going to be hilarious.

Careful. The cap is sensitive.

- Yo, you can get in big trouble.

- Nah, no one will know it was me.

- PRINCIPAL MATTHEWS: Move it along.

- Dude, what are you doing?

- Just hold it for me. I'll grab it later, alright?

- Good morning, Dylan.

- Hey, Principal Matthews.

- I have to say, it's been great

not having you in my office.

You seem to be turning over a new leaf.

- That's me, sir, I'm a real turner over leafer.

What? Um--tu--turn over leaf.

- Well, keep it up.

[laughing]

[sniffs] What's that smell?

- Must be that burrito I ate. Sorry, sir.

- What?

[coughing]

Burrito, huh?

[coughing]

And another infraction. Earrings? Really?

So much for turning over a new leaf.

[coughing]

- Okay, that stinky spray is not mine.

And I didn't put it there.

- You already know.

[coughing]

- *

- DYLAN: * There once was a kid from the city of Chi *

* Ma knew I wasn't born not a regular guy *

* Everybody follow me, I'mma take you on a trip *

* Buckle up, let's go, I'mma get ya all hip! *

* I'm a star, came up from a block in Chi-town *

* Livin' large

* I'm tryna balance school and these bars *

* Came far, ain't no better feeling *

* I tell 'em you gon' love Young Dylan *

* Young Dylan, Young Dylan *

* Young Dylan, Young Dylan *

* I tell 'em you gon' love Young Dylan **

- Mr. and Mrs. Wilson? - Mm-hmm?

- Did you notice that smell coming from Dylan's locker?

- We did. - Yeah, when you first said

something about it, we thought it was the usual

preteen boy stink, but this is something much worse.

What did you eat this morning?

- Dylan, why would you bring something like that to school?

- Where did you even find something that nasty?

- I didn't do any of this. I'm innocent.

- Dylan continues to say he didn't do it.

And I want to believe him, but-

- Okay, okay, Dylan, if the stink spray

wasn't yours, then you need to tell us who's it was.

- It was, uh-- - Thank you.

- --someone else. - Dylan?

- I'm sorry, but I can't tell you.

- Why?

- Because it goes against street code.

- Street code? - What are you talking about?

This isn't the streets. This is a school.

And a very expensive school, I might add.

- That reminds me, I got some quotes to de stink the school,

and you will be billed for it...

since Dylan won't tell me who actually did this.

- Dylan, who did this? - Yeah, yeah,

tell Principal Matthews everything.

Include some other stuff.

- I can't, Unc. In my old neighborhood,

snitches get stitches. A real one never snitches.

- Well, in that case, I can't allow you

to perform tonight for Spirit Day.

And consider yourself suspended--

- [gasps]

- --until you decide to tell the truth.

- Come on. Thank you, Principal Matthews.

- Mm-hmm. - But you know,

just for the record, you know, I could de-stink

the school for a fraction of the cost?

- Oh?

- Just hang some new car scented air fresheners

everywhere and it'd take care of the problem.

- Does this look like a car to you?

- A roomy car.

Okay.

- Today! - Okay!

- *

- Charlie. Charlie. Come on, come on.

- What's the emergency? - Sit down.

Look.

- What is it? - It's an eviction notice.

- Is that a bad thing?

- If you consider being kicked out of your house a bad thing,

then yes!

- Kicked out of our house? Oh, what are we gonna do?

- We'll have to stay with Grandma.

- I don't want to live over there.

Grandma snores too loud, and she's always swinging

her samurai sword around. Wah, wah, wah.

- Yeah, she's always saying, "I wish you would,"

when she really doesn't wish that.

- Uh, we have to show Mom and Dad.

- Are you crazy? They'll freak out!

- Oh yeah. Mom will be, "Oh no, Miles, what are we gonna do?

We can't leave the house!"

And then she'll cry, and then Dad'll cry,

and then I'll cry.

- I think you're being a little over dramatic,

but, yeah, we have to keep this between us until

we can figure out a way to raise the money.

- Maybe I can sell some of my games.

- Good idea. Maybe I can sell my old phone.

- Do you think this is enough to keep us

from getting evicted?

- No, we need something bigger.

Ooh! I got it! What if we do an online auction?

You know, people can bid for our stuff, I saw it on TV once.

We can make loads of money when people try

to outbid each other.

- I like it. Do you think I can do

the "Going once, going twice, sold," part?

- Just gather things that we can sell for the auction.

Cool things, things people want.

- Not your broken stuff.

- Oh.

- *

- Have a seat, young man.

- [door closes] - Dylan...

your auntie and I are very disappointed in you.

- I'm sorry, I'm only trying to do what I think is right.

- You really think that getting in trouble

for someone else is the right thing to do?

- I mean, not totally.

- Oh come on, Dylan. Look, if it's a bad thing

to do than don't you think the person who did it

should be held responsible?

- Well, yes, I guess. - Well then...

- I won't do it.

- So, you would rather have your uncle and I pay

that huge bill than tell everyone who pulled

that terrible stunt?

- I don't want y'all to have to pay for it.

I'm in a tough spot here.

- You think? That tough spot is called being suspended.

And you will be paying that huge bill

unless you come clean.

- Well, I guess I only have one obvious choice here.

- Exactly.

- I'm going to accept my punishment

and be suspended for a while.

- Oh, yeah, no, that's not the obvious choice!

- What are we gonna do?

- *

- Dylan, we heard about what happened at school today.

- Yeah, and if you didn't bring the stink spray

to school, then you better tell us who did.

- I don't know what to do. I don't want to snitch,

but I don't want to get suspended either.

Chuckles, what would you do?

- Oh, I'm good with snitching. Yep, I'll snitch all day,

don't care who I take down. Matter of fact,

Rebecca was the one who drank the last of your sweet tea.

- Uh! - What?!

- Charlie ate the candy bar you hid.

- What? I come from a family of snitches? Wow.

- Yep, that's right. So just tell me

who stunk up the school, and I'll snitch for you.

- No, Chuck, I can't do that.

- Well, Dylan, we have something we need to show you.

- An eviction notice?

I knew they were mad at me,

but I didn't know they were "evict me" mad.

- No, it's an eviction notice for Mom and Dad.

- Dang! I did not know Uncle Myles and Auntie Yaz

were struggling this hard.

Me and Moms went through this a couple of times.

- Well, we came up with an idea to help.

- Yeah. We're doing a live auction,

and we're gonna stream it.

- Yep. We gathered some of our stuff to sell.

You have anything you can part with?

- To help family? Most def.

You always have your family back.

That's another street code.

- [knock on door] - MYLES: Hey, Dyl.

You have a visitor--Freddie.

He came by do drop off some homework.

- What's up, Freddie? - What's up?

- You're a good dad, you know that?

- And no matter what, we'll always love you.

Even if you can't budget your finances.

- Thanks.

Hey, you two, come here.

- I also came to say thanks.

For having my back, and to make sure you're cool.

- No, I'm not cool. You know how much trouble

I'm in because of you?

- I'm sorry, man. It's not how I wanted

things to go down. You know, everyone being mad

at you for making the school stinky.

- Again, wasn't me.

- Oh, and Spirit Day was a bust, too.

Since you didn't show up, Mr. Elliott got on stage

and mumble rapped a song

called "All 'bout the Bitcoins."

So, everyone's blaming you for that, too.

- Look, man, I need you to admit it was you.

I'm suspended from school and now everyone hates me?

- I can't do that. I could be kicked out

of school for good.

- But I don't want to take the heat for you.

- So what are you going to do? Snitch?

- You know I'm not about that.

- Like I said, I'm sorry things went down

like this, but it's either you or me,

and I chose you.

Here's your assignments.

- What's this?

- The teacher put it in there. I think it's an order form

for that corny video yearbook thing.

Stay up. Suspension stinks.

Almost as bad as that stink spray you got busted with.

- Again, wasn't me!

Stupid. [indistinct mumbling]

Getting busted for you!

Didn't even do none of this.

Really innocent, nobody wants to believe me.

Video yearbook? That's it!

- *

- I'm almost finished with the online auction.

All we need to do is take pictures

of what we're going to sell, and it's go time.

- Great, I found a lot of cool stuff.

- We're good kids.

- You'll get no argument from me.

- Wait.

Ah! This is my autographed Queen Star poster!

Wow!

And this is my pixel art frame!

- Hey! This is all my stuff!

This is my magician's kit!

And my limited edition satin slippers!

Hey, you can't sell this! I ate tacos

to win this stuffed burrito pillow.

- We have to sell this stuff, Charlie.

It's our turn to do our part for the family.

Even if it means selling your silly stuff.

- Or your silly stuff.

- Oh? We'll see who can sell our stuff the fastest.

Come on, the auction's about to start.

- Okay.

- Hey! Give me that poster!

- No! You stole my satin slippers!

- You stole my slippers! - My poster! Ah!

- I can't believe someone wanted all your junk.

- Can't believe someone wanted all your junk.

Mom and Dad are gonna be so proud of us

when we show them how much money we made.

- I know, right? This "V-Dot from the Block,"

is buying everything!

- Whoever they are, they're saving us

from sleeping on the streets!

- We really are good kids. - Again, you'll get

no argument from me.

- Ooh! We just made more dollars!

- *

- [coughs]

- Ah! Excuse me!

You lacrosse kids think you can just go around poking people

just because you won a game finally?

Well, you aren't the champs yet, pal.

- Relax, Charlie, it's me.

- Dylan? When did you join the lacrosse team?

- I didn't, I'm just wearing this to sneak back in school.

- I never thought I'd hear you say those words.

But you can't be here. You're suspended.

- I know, but the person I was protecting

could care less if I never get to come back,

so I'm going to clear my name, one way or another.

But Principal Matthews won't believe me

if I don't have proof, so I'm gonna get some.

- How?

- Well, Christian was in the hallway that day

recording for the video yearbook.

- He was? Where?

- Hiding in that recycling bin so he can record everyone

acting natural. - That's not creepy at all.

- I'm hoping he accidentally recorded the truth.

- You think he did?

- It's my only play, so I hope so,

but I'm gonna check the A.V. room

before I get caught.

- [door closes]

- Aha!

Dang! Man, it's empty!

Whoa. This is a lot of videotapes.

It's going to take me all day to go through these.

Alright then.

- Hey. This is the A.V. room,

not the locker room. If you're looking for footage

from the lacrosse game, relax, it's coming.

You win your first and only game,

and now you think you own the school?

The girl's field hockey team has been undefeated for years.

- *

- MYLES: Yeah. - Hey.

- Mom? You just gonna keep walking on in, huh?

- Yep.

- I'm here for all the stuff I won.

I'm "V-Dot from the Block."

- What stuff, and how'd you win it?

- From an online auction.

I picked up a lot of good stuff, dirt cheap.

When it was over,

this was the address they gave to pick everything up.

So where's my stuff?

- We didn't have an online auction.

- And I know Dylan has nothing to do with this,

because he's up in his room with no computer or phone.

- BOTH: Rebecca! Charlie! Get downstairs!

- Is everything okay?

- Did you two have an online auction?

- We did, but we had a good reason.

- Yeah, we saved our family from having to sleep

on the streets.

- Yep, thanks to V-dot from the Block, we made $.

- . I canceled the burrito pillow.

- Wait, V-Dot from the Block is Grandma?

- Okay, okay, everybody, stay focused.

Why did you have an online auction?

- So you wouldn't get evicted.

- Evicted?

- Well, when I was checking the mail the other day,

I saw an eviction notice.

- An eviction notice? Okay, so where is it?

- I'll go get it. - But don't worry,

the auction made money, and I'm sure Grandma

will buy all the stuff from the next one, too.

- Nuh uh, hey, this ain't no charity.

And again, where is my stuff?

- This isn't an eviction notice for the house,

it's for my storage unit.

- Storage unit? - MYLES: Hmm.

- Myles? Didn't I tell you to put that on auto pay?

- I did.

- Did you update your new credit card information?

- I did...not.

- So we're not getting evicted?

- No, but your father's storage stuff is.

- Oh, can we add that stuff to the next auction?

- No, no, no more online auctions, alright?

And, honey, I will call them and give them

my new credit card information.

- Okay, come on you two, I'm gonna take you two out

for pizza for being so thoughtful.

- Hold up, hold up, wait a minute.

- I find it very funny

that I have to ask y'all a third time...

where is my stuff?

- Mom, come on now, you're not gonna hold them

to that, right?

- Well, I wouldn't, but V-Dot from the Block--

- Go, go, go, go, go! - Come on, kids.

- This Yasmine's purse? Let's see what she got.

- Mom. - I know she got more

than $ worth of stuff up in here.

- *

- [knock on door] - Come in.

- Hey, Principal Matthews. - Dylan, to what do I

owe this pleasure? Are you ready to tell me

who was actually behind all of this?

- Nope.

- Dylan, this has to end.

- I know, and I also know that street code has its flaws.

It's hard, but it's what I know.

- The first lesson learned can always be the hardest

to forget.

- I can't tell you, but...

- What's this? - What's what?

- This videotape? - What videotape?

- This one right here. - Oh, I don't know

what you're talking about, but if I did,

I'd tell you to skip to the minute

and second mark and watch, but like I said,

I don't know what you're talking about.

- If this shows what I hope it does,

than consider yourself unsuspended.

I know it wasn't easy, but it is the right thing.

- I know that now. - [bell rings]

- Well, I guess I should get to class.

I don't want to get un-unsuspended already.

[laughs]

- That's right, you know how I do.

- [laughing]

- First up on Grandma's auction is a pair of Magnitudes.

Slightly used, but they in great condition.

You can floss and be the boss

in these limited edition kicks.

- Come on, Grandma, those are mine!

- Grandma bought these fair and square.

Now, can I get $? $?

- Ten dollars!

- Ten dollars! I got a ten. Do I hear ? $?

- I'll give you ! - !

- What? It is a great deal.

- ! I'm going -- can I hear ?

- ! - ! I got !

, , $. - !

- said the young-- - !

- ! $! Going once, going twice.

- [bangs on table] - Sold for $.

Grandma loves a good auction, mm-hmm.

Next up on Grandma's auction.
