03x55 - "Sweet 6teen"

[bunniefuu]

Okay, so remind me again what the big deal is.


It's my sweet sixteen, Nikki!


Uh-huh... And...


AND its THE biggest, most important night of my life.


It's when I finally say goodbye to my childhood


and reintroduce myself as an adult woman.


And how will you do that?


By having the wickedest, most expensive party in history!


I was watching Chill TV's Sweet Sixteen show,


and this one girl's daddy bought her a car.


What kind of car?


Red!


Eeeeee!


In one episode, all the guests got mp players!


Are you going to give everyone gifts?


Totally!


Eeeeeeeeeeee!


On my sixteenth birthday


I was at the movies with Jude and Jonesy.


We saw "Farting Ninja's Revenge"


and Jonesy ate all my popcorn.


This...is...it!


It's perfect!


Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!


Ugh! It's like hanging out with dolphins.

So I'm thinking of a Bollywood theme.


I am going to transform the Soft Rock Cafe into THIS! Cool!


Aaand, I talked to Chill TV's Sweet Sixteen


and they want to sh**t my party for their show!


We get to be on TV?


Awesome!


Hey, Caitlin.


Uh, buh...


Why is it that whenever you see Benj,


you lose the power of speech?


I don't know.


He's just so dreamy.


I hope he asks to be my date for my sweet sixteen.


Why don't you just ask him to ask you?


Duh, if I ask Benj to ask me,


then he isn't asking me, I'm asking him.


Not if he asks you AFTER you ask him to ask you.


But if I ask first that makes me the asker not the askee,


regardless of him asking me after I asked --


I'm asking you both to stop before I hurt one of you.


Do you want me to help with decorations?


I can be in charge of that if you want.


Oh that's so sweet, Jen,


but I'm going to use professionals.


Oh...


So what do you want me to do?


I think I've got it all covered.


No seriously, there has to be something you need me to do.


Just come to the party.


But, I have never just gone to a party.


You know, I'm usually in charge of SOMETHING.


Or everything.


I've gotta do some serious shopping for my pre and post party outfits!


Later!


She's going to let me be in charge of something, though, right?


I gotta go to work.


I just like to help, that's all!


It is officially time to...


ice surf!


Huh?


Oh... ow!


Well, that was anti-climactic.


What gives?


Dude, your ice has no slide.


Bad quality ice?


This will require some investigating.


Uh, we don't give discounts.


But what if I told you that I would be wearing the outfits on Chill TV?


Go on...


Chill TV is filming my sweet sixteen.


So what do you say? percent off?


You will have to mention Albatross and Finch.


Make it half price


and I'll bring the camera crew into the store during an interview.


Deal.


Ring it up.


Caitlin Cooke?


Gotta hand it to you.



When it comes to shopping, you are a legend.


Oh, hi, Trish.


Thanks!


I know we've had our differences,


but I've still never found a better shopping partner.


Really?


Look, I'm not big on honesty but here goes...


remember how we always planned to have our sweet sixteen parties together?


Of course I do.


Well, I miss you, Cait,


and I thought maybe if we still did it,


it might fix everything that has gone wrong between us.


I don't know...


I know I abandoned you


because you got that loser job at the Lemon.


Ya.


And I framed you for shoplifting.


Hey, that's right!


And I wrote awful things about you


in the girls bathroom at school.


You what?


But that doesn't mean I don't wanna be your friend.


Really?


I think hanging with you made me a better person, Cait.


Awwwwww!


Uh, excuse me,


no showing emotion n the premises...


store policy.


If we throw a joint sweet sixteen,


it will be a party people will talk about until they die.


Let's go do what we do best!


You're on!

[ GIGGLING ]

Jude read somewhere that perfect indoor ice


requires a specific temperature.


The mall is too hot.


No way!


Who knew you could learn stuff by reading?!


Cover me.


It's chillin' time.


So, FYI on my sweet sixteen...


You need help? I'll make a cake.


I make the most amazing carrot cake!


Oh, no thanks, Jen.


So, I really need you guys to keep an open mind here..


I can make it with or without raisins.


Let the girl speak!


Okay...I am going to have a joint sweet sixteen party...


With Tricia.


What?! What?! What?!


You're kidding, right?


No. For real.


I know what you're all thinking...


Bad idea! Bad idea! Bad idea! Bad idea!


But I know Tricia better than all of you,


and I think she's changed.


People like that don't change.


C'mon, guys.


Doesn't everyone deserve an eighth chance?


We just don't want to see you get hurt by her again, Caitlin.


But, if we have our parties separately


half the people I want at mine will be at hers.


But if we do it together EVERYONE will be there.


That's true.


One giant party would be off the hook.


Hey, if you want to give her another chance,


we'll try too.


Affirmative.


Jen?


All right.


Nikki?


Fine.


Yay! Yess!


Jonesy, Tricia and I want to hire you to promote the party.


Just walk around in this outfit, hyping the party.


I don't think I want to dress like that.


We'll pay you.


At your service.


Nikki and Jen, I need you to --


Make animals out of napkins? I can do that!


No. Meet me and Trish at Grind Me in an hour for a planning session.


Awesome! I'll bring pens!


Thanks, guys.


Oooo, does anyone else find it cold in here today?


I'm gonna try this on.


Off to work.


I have nowhere to go...


Tricia better not have some evil plan up her sleeve.


Who knows, maybe she HAS changed.


Even a snake sheds its skin.


Cool. Absolutely not.


Never. Nope.


Bad... Four-piece


Yes. Cute.


YUCK. No.


No. No.


This is going to be fun.


I brought pens!



"Once you have reached the optimum temperature


"it is time to get your ice to the perfect thickness."


Did you hear that, ice?


We're going to make you perfect.


How's the new job, dude?


Best gig ever!


Great coin and everyone who wants an invite


thinks I'm the one they need to impress.


Why would they think that?


Because that's what I tell 'em.


Sweeeet.


So, is the ice ready yet?


Whoa dude, stop!


This is a work of art in progress.


No one stepped on the Mona Lisa before it was dry.


I'm not sure anyone ever stepped on the Mona Lisa.


So what do we have so far?


I'll read it back! Secretary! Dibs!


Okay, we got the location, the theme,


caterers and decorators,


and Chill TV is confirmed.


And I'll will keep a registry at the Khaki Barn


so no one ends up in the same dress as someone else.


Caitlin, great suggestions.


I knew it was going to be fun to do this together.


I'm so glad you want to use all of my ideas!


For invites I'm thinking gold coins


with alternating -D images of you and me on the front.


What do you think?


I love it.


Now all I need to make it perfect


is Benj as my date.


Benj?


Benj Turner? MY Benj?


I thought Benj was single.


Right now he is,


but I've been working on him for over a week,


and I plan to be going out with him by Monday.


Uh, that doesn't sound evil at all.


I really thought he was getting close to asking me.


[ CHUCKLES ]


Oh, sorry.


I didn't mean to laugh, but come on... What?!


Look, this is easy to solve.


As long as you both agree to play fair,


the first one he asks wins.


Is flirting allowed?


I would say... yes.


You're on.


Agreed.


Mandy, Gwen, Thanks for all the laughs.


Don't be mad mommy.


ACHOO!


Who, what, where, why, who!


Achoo!


Hmmmmmm.


Oh, I love that hat.


Actually, it looks even better on you.


As a matter of fact,


I'm going to buy it for you.


Isn't that what friends do, buy each other gifts?


I saw it in a movie once.


Hey, Caitlin. That's a great hat.


Hi. You, uh...


have no shirt on.


I just got a job here.


It's my first day.


Hi, Benj!


I'm buying Caitlin that hat.


Just something I do. Nice stuff.


Yeah, I saw you try it on first,


and you're definitely right,


it looks better on Caitlin.


Congrats on the new job.


You look great in your, uh, uniform.


Thanks.


I just wish it wasn't so cold in here today.


Is it okay if I swing by The Lemon tomorrow?


I wanted to talk to you.


Sure, see you then...


Thanks for the hat, Tricia, I really --


On second thought, I really need a new hat.


Maybe I'll buy you something another time.


Temperature's down. Box still locked.


Odd.


I smell punk.


CAITDon't you need to take your shirt off to get ready for work?


It might be a little weird to wander around the mall


without a shirt on, don't ya think?


Oh... right.


So, about your sweet sixteen party.


Uh-huh?


If you don't have a date yet... Yeah...


I thought maybe you and I...


Caitlin!


Are you ready to freak?


Benj, give us sec, ok?


Guess I'll talk to you later, Caitlin.


Come back on your break. I'll be here.


No fair!



You knew he was about to ask me.


Oh, was he?


Okay, that was dirty!


I had no idea what they were talking about, I swear.


Right.


So what's the big emergency?


I got the invites and I wanted to show them to you.


Cool.


Oh no.


They made a mistake.


Both pictures are of you.


No mistake.


I decided to go it alone. What?!


You were right, Cait.


We have so much bad history,


it could never work.


Oh, and try not to cry until I'm gone,


it would just be awkward.


She's gone.


Got your text. What's going on?


Tricia double-crossed Caitlin.


Stole the party out from under her.


She took all her ideas and money.


But we still get to be on Chill TV, right?


Nice.


I'm not having a sweet sixteen.


We'll throw you a sweet sixteen!


I am now officially in charge!


The party will go on! Right, guys?! Right.


How'd you make these ice cubes so clear?


Owwww-ww.


Let's focus here.


Caitlin, it's going to be fine.


I am sure we can still have a great party with no band,


no food... and no... people.


Tricia totally --


I heard, I heard!


Then WHY are you still dressed like Maharishi?


Because I told Tricia that between Caitlin and the best party ever,


I choose the party.


I choose the party What?!


Give the Jonesmeister a little credit.


I'm going to sabotage the party


by spreading the word that it's going to suck out loud.


Ohhh... Oh!


Well, if there is one thing Jonesy's good at,


it's taking something great and ruining it.


Thank you, Wyatt.


No matter what happens, we've got to make Caitlin's birthday


into something really special.


I need my sweet to be extra special,


so I used the party side of my brain


and came up with all these great ideas.


Benj! Benj!


Come talk to Chill TV.


Hey.


Can I ask you something personal?


Of course. Take five, guys.


I know you and Caitlin are good friends.


The best.


I'm going to ask her to the party.


Do you know what kind of flowers she likes?


Oh, Benj.


Caitlin's not interested.


Really?


I thought she was kind of... in to me.


Well, I thought so too,


and so I asked and she said...


that she could do better.


Oh. I guess I had Caitlin all wrong.


Personally I think any girl would be lucky


to have you as a date for their sweet sixteen.


Thanks. ANY girl.


Thanks.


Any girl standing in FRONT of you.


ME.


You want me to take you to your sweet sixteen?


Oh Benj, you see right through me!


[ SNAPS ]


[ GIRL GIGGLING ]


Why, little dudette?


Why?


Is there a problem?


The ice and the hopping and crunching.


Out out out!


I have ice to save.


These grooves are too deep.


This can only mean one thing.


The security dude turned the heat back up.


Hey, Guys.


Can you to keep this somewhere so that Caitlin doesn't see it?


It's the dress we got for her birthday.


Sure, I'll put it in the freezer.


How did you two afford this?


I had some money saved up


that I was going to use for a new bike.


I had to take a big pay advance


and agree to clean the staff bathroom for the next months.


Don't worry, it's in safe hands.


That's a lovely dress, Wyatt.



Oh, my friend's sweet sixteen --


You aren't one of those weirdos


that enjoys putting sides of beef in dresses to practice dancing?


What?


Are you a meat dancer, Wyatt?


A meat dancer? No.


It's okay, Wyatt.


I used to be a meat dancer too.


It's how I got started.


Started?


Yep, but now I'm a competitive ballroom dancer.


I'm officially out of the freezer.


Well I -- Want me to teach you?


I knew you were going to ask.


Actually I was -- Hoping to start now?


All right.


I'm glad you asked


because otherwise I would have had to fire you


for dancing with the meat.


Fire me?


No fear of that now.


Not going to fire my new ballroom prodigy.


[ WHIMPERS ]


Remember, Wyatt, it's about passion.


Show me your passion for dance.


One, two, three. One, two, three.


Straight up, this party is going to be lame.


No way!


It's gonna be the party of the year.


Going to this party will be the biggest mistake of your life,


because I-I-I... know I'm fired.


You missed a spot! You missed a spot!


We said the same thing! We said the same thing!


We did it again! We did it again!


Is that ever cool!


Yeah, it's almost like between you


there's only one brain.


Oh my gosh... She's right!


We share a brain! We share a brain!


We share a brain! We share a brain!


We share a brain! We share a brain!


How's the ice?


High quality, maximum slide.


I'll be the judge of that!


Good one.


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!


Sweet.


Maybe we should introduce you to the tango.


[SIGH] Fine.


There's that passion I was talking about!


This is all wrong!


I want the curtains to have valence tops


and a bigger swag.


I think they're working as hard as they can, Tricia.


I didn't ask for your opinion!


I just want it to be perfect...


AHA! Caught you red-handed, maggot!


What do you think you're doing?


Turning up the heat.


Just as I thou --


Turning UP the heat?


Yeah, gettin' a bit chilly in here, don't you think?


Yes I did.


Good work, soldier.


Keep a lookout for the culprit who keeps turning it down.


Roger that!


Come on, Caitlin, just forget about Tricia.


I can't.


She stole my money, all my great ideas, my date,


and right now she's probably is wearing the most beautiful dress ever!


Yep, I bet Tricia, Mandy AND Gwen all look fantastic in it.


What? I'll explain later.


First, go put this on. Aww.


First, go put this on. Aww.


EMCEELet's hear it for Tricia,


with her two best friends, Mandy and Gwen!


[ GUESTS LAUGHING ]


You think this is funny?


I never should have stolen you away from Caitlin,


you two totally deserve each other!


I'm outta here.


Don't forget to smile pretty for the camera, Tricia.


[SWEETLY] We can edit some of this stuff out, right?


Oh, whatever!


Ya, sure, done.


Jen says they'll be here any second.


Light it up.


Sweeeeet.


Now check this...


Nice. Whoa.


How'd you do that?


As the good book says,


warm temperature and humidifiers cause ice to fog.


Read it.


Won't that ruin your perfect ice?


Yeah, but this is a special occasion.


Here we are, Caitlin.


Happy Birthday, Caitlin!


It's beautiful.


You guys did all of this for me?



Well, Jen did most of the planning.


You guys did great work.


And it was fun with the color-coded spreadsheet, right?


Thanks, guys.


This is the best sweet sixteen I could have ever imagined.


So who's going to be Caitlin's


first sweet sixteen dance partner?


[ ♪ ]


Wow, where did you learn to dance like this?


Don't ask.


Hey, can I cut in?


Benj! You came!


There is no place I would rather be,


and no one I would rather be with.


Happy Sweet sixteen, Caitlin.


Okay, okay. Stop texting, I'm here.


I thought you might want to see this.


Tonight on Chill TVthe sweet sixteen Queen of Mean.


I didn't ask for your opinion...


I never should have stolen you away from Caitlin.


You two totally deserve each other...


Oh whatever.


Well, I am glad they saw her for who she really is.


After all, NO ONE deserves a ninth chance.


You got that right.


That's for sure. Eight strikes, you're out.
