04x08 - Be Prepared

Post by bunniefuu »

People, please. I
know we're all excited

that Maria shriver,

the first lady of California

is here visiting Donna.

Now, remember,

no autographs, no pictures,

and especially, no
impressions of her husband,

Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Is that clear?

Yes.

Now, back to work.

Well, Maria, thank you
so much for stopping by,

and I promise I'm
gonna do everything I can

for your campaign for
emergency preparedness.

Oh, thank you, so much, Donna.

You'd be surprised at how
few families and businesses

have a disaster plan.

And it's really important

'cause you never know
when disaster's going to strike.

Whoo! There is no paper
towel in that bathroom,

girl, I gotta wipe my
hands on my shirt.

Oh, my goodness,
it's Maria shriver!

Raven... Hey, how you doing?

I mean, it's cracking with you.

Do you know who you are?

This is amazing!

Look at your suit.

Yes, mama, work it fierce.

Hey, I need a picture.

Oh, no, I should
have an autograph.

Oh, wait, hold on,

ooh, your hands are now wet

'cause mine are wet.

I'm so sorry.

Speaking of a disaster.

I think our little intern Raven

has said enough.

Actually, I do a great
impression of Arn...

A buh buh buh buh!

Don't worry, we're
gonna do our share

for your emergency
preparedness plan.

Thank you, Donna,

I'm so glad you're
part of the solution

and that you have a plan.

Well, shame on those companies

who don't have a plan.

Quick, Tiffany, prepare an emergency
preparedness plan immediately.

Maria shriver.

Hasta la vista, baby.

Who are you supposed to be?

Your... it was
supposed to... Gotcha!

Yes!

I just got got by Maria shriver.

while I'm in the bathroom.

All right, you two.
Enough, all right?

Maria has bigger problems.

She's gonna do

a video about
emergency preparedness

but she needs a hot, young band.

A hot, young band, like, say,

boyz in motion?

Perfect.

But how do we get to them?

Well, it just so happens that

ahem, I know them.

No way.

Way!

Actually, they are
staying at my house

and I saved their career,

after... I ruined it.

Raven, what are we waiting for.

Get them on the phone now.

Oh, ok. I can do that.

Speed dial.

♪ Hello ♪
♪ hello ♪ ♪ hello ♪

boyz in motion residence.

Boys speaking.

What it is, boys. It's Raven.

Rae, what's good, girl?

Hey, it's so good
to hear your voice.

Yeah, you're looking good, too.

At least, it sounds
like you are.

Listen, boys,

say hello to Tiffany and
miss Donna cabonna.

Hello, Tiffany.

The boyz in motion said my name.

Tiffany, now, act
professionally.

Yeah, we're big fans of your
clothes, too, miss cabonna.

So, boys, miss Donna's
friend, miss Maria shriver

is wanting to do a
public service video.

Are you guys interested?

Anything for you, Rae.

Yeah, it's like we
said in our smash hit,

we've got your back,
and that's a fact.

♪ We've got your
back, and that's a fact ♪

Oh, thank you, boys,

and I'll be designing
your wardrobe

for this music video.

Cool. Rae knows what we like.

Later.

There it is.

Uh, hmm...

So, Raven knows what
the boys like, Tiffany.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Yes. Why did we ever hire her?

You know what, Tiffany...

No. I'm thinking

that Raven should
design the wardrobe

for the boyz video.

Easy, Raven.

Raven, sweetheart. Please.

Please, please stop screaming.

And just listen to me.

This is a huge,
huge responsibility.

It's a very big deal.

I know, miss Donna,

but you know
what, I can handle it.

You can trust me.
I am all over this.

So, now, you know what the most

important rule around here is.

Don't sit on coco.

Second most important
rule around here.

Don't make you look bad?

You're outta here.

You know what, I
got that, thank you.

But, Donna, who's gonna do

her menial, mind numbing,
unpaid intern duties?

Don't look at me.

Hmm. That's true. Raven...

Your work around
here still has to be done.

Ok, what if I get some
people to help me out

you know, with the
mind numbing stuff.

Raven, you're an intern.

How are you gonna find people

to do your work for no money?

So, if I sharpen
all these pencils,

I can have all those doughnuts?

Uh, pace yourself. But, yes.

And after I water
all this plants,

I get to take
care of little coco?

Yeah, you get to wash
her, you get to feed her,

you get to brush her, you
get to clean up after her.

Wow, Rae.

No wonder you do this for free.

Yeah...

Ok, tell me again

why we're bringing
the garbage in, dad?

It's not garbage.

It's our emergency supply Kit.

You know, ever since
Raven's been involved

in that disaster
preparedness program,

I just wanted to let you know

how prepared the
baxters really are.

Ok, let's see.

We got a flashlight.

Ok, I guess we
don't got a flashlight.

Ok, we got our
emergency utensils.

Mm-hmm.

That poked a hole in
our emergency water.

Dad, how long has
this stuff been in here?

Oh, it's not that long.

Ah, mm-hmm.

There's an extra set of clothes

that I packed for you kids.

Yes.

Yeah, I guess it
has been awhile.

Yeah, uh, dad,

this stuff is basically useless.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm gonna put fresh
supplies in this.

Hey, we're gonna start
having surprise drills

to practice our
family disaster plan.

Question.

Do we even have a
family disaster plan?

Not yet, but we will.

You know what, we
need to be able to leave

in a moment's notice

in case there's a fire

or even after an earthquake.

Well, if we do have
to leave in a hurry,

you don't have to worry
about grabbing this.

Oh, hey, buddy.

A lot has changed since
we seen each other last.

I got bad news for you.

Raven, I wrote up a
disaster preparedness plan,

and I want you to make copies,

and make sure

that everyone in
the office gets one.

Right. Got it. I will put
my people right on this.

You mean, the doughnut eater

and the doggy scooper?

Exactly.

Eddie!

Chels!

Chelsea!

Anybody home, baby?

Oh, my goodness, it's the boyz!

How are you doing?

J.j., what it is.

Triggy triggy train.

What it is.

How many times have I told you

this is a place
of... It's the boyz!

You're actually here!

In the flesh.

Hey, hey, hey. Tif... Tiffany.

No touching the boys.

I'm sorry.

I just can't believe
you're actually here

in the flesh helping Raven.

It's like we said
in our smash hit,

♪ we don't drop our fans ♪

♪ we don't drop our fans ♪

Who is singing in my...

Well, hello, boyz.

Boys, miss Donna.
Miss Donna, boys.

Ahem.

Nice to meet you.

Donna cabonna's
office. Tiffany speaking.

Yes, right away.

Maria's on the phone.
She wants an update.

Well, tell them that
the boyz are here

and that everything
is under control.

I hope so.

For your sake. Ta ta, boys.

All right, let me show you guys

the designs that I have.

Ah, it's righteous.

Tight.

It's green.

What's wrong with green?

You know green
makes my thighs look fat.

Uh, why would I know that?

But, it's true.

Ok, Ricky, we so don't
have to go with green.

How about... Orange?

Not gonna work, dude.
I'm allergic to orange.

How can you be
allergic to a color?

I don't know, but it's
making me all itchy

just thinking about it.

No orange. No orange, no green.

Blue. Everybody loves blue.

We hate blue.

Raven, you should've
checked with us on this.

Well, what about your
album, "boyz feeling blue?"

See... Now that hurt.

What?

Why you gotta throw
it in our face, Rae?

What did I say?

That was our worst seller ever.

Yeah, it had our non-smash hit,

"sometimes the boyz feel blue."

♪ Sometimes the boys feel blue ♪

You know what,
you are totally right.

Not your best work.

It was Ricky's idea to
have that video underwater.

J.j's the one that made
us wear the snorkels.

Well, I thought we
might want to breathe.

You know what?

I'm glad Raven
brought us here today.

Thanks to Raven, she reminded me

how bad your ideas are.

Well, thanks to
Raven, I can now see

what egomaniacs you guys are.

Well, thanks to Raven...

No, no, I need y'all to
stop thanking me right now.

That's it. I can't work
with you guys anymore.

I can't look at
you guys anymore.

I can't even hear you anymore.

You know what?

The boyz... Are out of motion.

No, no, now, Ricky,

I can feel the motion
in the ocean, homey.

I can feel it.

It's off, Rae.

The music's over.

Trey, the boys, ♪ the boys in ♪

Don't you hear it over here?

I will never talk to them again.

Hold the elevator, guys.

No! No!

Boyz, boyz, come back!

Please! Please!

Ohhh, I am ruined.

I can't believe
this is happening.

Oh, my goodness.

So, Raven, how's it
going with the boys?

Everything is fabulous.

Excellent. Maria sh**t
the video in two days.

I can't believe it.

Yes, aren't you excited?

Why me?

I sharpened the pencils.

Yeah, Rae, and I
watered all the plants.

Ok, but you guys have to
help me with one more thing.

What? Well, I want my doughnuts.

Yeah, and I want
to pick up after coco.

No.

Listen, I need your help.

I need to get the boyz
in motion back together.

They broke up?

What'd you do?

What? Why would you assume

that it's my fault?

Well, isn't it?

A little bit.

I didn't realize that the
boyz were such divas.

Too bad you're not
dealing with a solo act.

'Cause then you'd only
have one ego to deal with.

Right.

Doughnut boy, you're so right.

That's how we can get

the boyz in motion
back together.

Like they said in their Spanish
language smash hit single,

mi ego es mi amigo.

Ha ha ha.

Attention, Cory Baxter.

This is an emergency
evacuation drill.

Get out of the house
now, now, now.

I'm ready, dad.

Whoo, 4 seconds. Very good, son.

Now, come on. Let's roll.

Ok.

Cory, what are you doing?

You know, I'm just
taking a couple of things

I cannot leave behind.

You know what I mean?

Like your entire room?

No, no, no. Not everything.

You see, I left my school books.

Will you just give
me one more second.

I think my mini fridge is stuck.

Cory, Cory!

The whole purpose

of having an emergency
evacuation drill

is so you leave the
house as soon as possible.

If you still have time to
take something with you,

then it better be
something very important.

Oh, don't worry, dad.

See, the really important thing,

I threw it out the window.

Bam!

Your safe?

We need to talk
about your priorities.

Ok, yeah. Thank
you so much, Ricky.

I'll see you soon.

All right. The boyz
are on the way back.

Good plan, Rae.

Right. I'll just get
them in one room,

they'll realize what
great friends they are,

and then they'll
be back together.

You really believe that?

No. But it's all I have.

Hey, you've got
your designs, Rae.

They're really cool.

You know what, you're right.

Nothing blue, nothing
green, nothing orange.

You little monster!

What I do?

Not you, the little thing
that you're holding.

I had a vision that coco's
gonna eat up my designs.

What are you talking about, Rae?

Precious little coco wouldn't
do something like that.

You know what,
you're right, Chels,

'cause coco's going on
a little doggy vacation.

Oh, a doggy spa.

A doggy spa, that's right.

All right, coco. Let's go.

Let's go.

Have fun, little coco.

Have fun.

Hey, that's not a doggy spa.

That's a closet.

Stop tripping, Chels.

He's only going to be
here for, like, an hour.

Well, that's like 7
hours in doggy time.

Well, anyway, here you go, coco.

Here's your little space.

Ok, uh-huh, let your
little paws boogie.

Trey.

Raven. Hey.

Trey?

Ricky?

Raven? Ricky.

Trey, Ricky?

J.j.? J.j.?

What are you guys doing here?

I'm here for my solo video.

I'm here for my solo video.

We're all doing a
solo video together?

No, I'm guessing Raven
told us all the same story

to get us down here.

You know what, yes.

Yes, I did. I confess.

Do you know why?

'Cause you are not

boy in motion, boy in motion,

boy in motion. No.

Y'all are boyz...
In motion. Plural.

With the z attached.

Now, listen.

This is for a good cause.

The preparedness... Situation.

Now, listen.

We have some designs
that I got to show y'all.

Come on.

What do you think?

I like it.

Well, if he likes
it, then I hate it.

Well, if he likes
it, and he hates it,

then, I late it.

What is that?

A combination of like and hate?

I didn't think of that.

I didn't even know
you could think at all.

So why you always
putting him down?

Hey, Rae, when does
your plan turn good?

Hey, boyz, boyz.

Listen. Will you listen, please?

Think about this.

Think about the music.

Ok? What about the fans?

What about your
smash hit single,

"don't turn your
back on a friend?"

♪ Don't turn your
back on a friend ♪

- This is an emergency.
-

evacuate immediately.

What's wrong. What's going on?

It's an emergency.

Well, I know that.

Just follow the disaster
preparedness plan

that Raven copied
and distributed.

Raven did what?

I told you to make those copies.

On my desk. Wait, I got
them right here, you guys.

It's, it's this one.

Put it in there.

No, no, it's broken.

It's not broken. There's
no power. Give it to me.

Mine says, "panic."

Mine says, "don't."

Mine says, "Raven,
please distribute."

We've got to get
out of here now.

Yeah, everybody,
take the stairs.

No, we can't do that!

We gotta take the elevator.

Wait a minute!

We can't do that.

You're never supposed
to take the elevator.

Well, how else are we

gonna get out of
here, Chelsea, huh?

Where's my coco?

Raven locked him in the closet.

Hey, hey, ok, thanks, Chels.

I'm coming, coco.

People, people why are
you still in the building?

Do you not hear the alarm?

Yes, we hear the alarm,

but we don't know
the safest way out.

Well, you never
take the elevator.

Ha!

You never gloat either.

Ha!

What did I just say?

Well, people, I think
I found the problem.

Are you looking for this?

Oh!

Oh, my little coco, you're safe.

Raven, you're not.

Ok, looks like a
false alarm, people.

The doggy chewed through
some very important wires

and caused a short
that set off the alarms.

Hit the reset, Dwayne.

You folks are very lucky.

You know, if this had been
a real emergency, what...

Is that the boyz in motion

under the desk?

Hey, man, thanks
for saving us, dude.

Hey, you're welcome, Ricky.

Hey, you boys come by any time

for a ride on the fire truck.

As for the rest of you people,

I suggest you get an
emergency preparedness plan

together immediately.

Oh, well, sir,
actually, we have one,

and I was supposed
to distribute it.

It's just that I was so
busy being prepared

for the preparedness video

that I wasn't prepared
for the actual disaster.

Which in the situation,

the main thing is
is that we're all safe,

and we're together, and,

the boyz are back in motion.

Well, at least the
video's back on.

I never knew it was off.

Uh...

Well, uh, I just wanted
to show you my designs.

Coco, no!

Coco, why?

Looks like you're out of luck.

Actually, Tiffany, I
can draw them again,

thank you very much.

No! I just had an idea.

Well, you haven't
even seen my idea.

Well, no, because
this idea is mine,

so it makes it better.

Wow, Raven, that

Yeah.

Of course, it
would've been better

if they used my
designs. But it's all good.

Let's go, people.
We got to get out.

Ok, do exactly like
we practiced, Cory.

Ok, ok, ok.

Um, grab the emergency Kits.

Ok. Come on.

Find the nearest exit.

Uh-huh.

And if we get lost, we'll
meet up at the corner.

Right.

Let's go, dad. Let's go.

We gotta get out of here.
This is an emergency.

Come on, dad. Come on, come on.

Um, I'm glad that
you guys are prepared,

but we're just
going to the movies.

Oh.

Sorry, we're paranoid.
You know what I mean?

Orlando bloom's in it.

I gotta go see this!

Oh, come on, dad.
We need to hurry!
