[both grunt]

The Cece Dupree's about to sing…

[both] The longest note ever!

Huh?

Hey! We were watching that!

But we wanna watch Driving Bloopers.

Rock them Rockets. They outta this world.
[chuckles]

[both] Whoa!

Those are the coolest sneakers
I've ever seen! They're a work of art!

And totally hip-hop! They're so us.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

[both] We gotta get those shoes!

We'll be the besties
with the matching kicks!

And…

[both] ♪ Rock it in our Rockets ♪

-♪ Rock it in our Rockets ♪
-[both laugh]

[Karma] Yeah!

The kicks are cool, but MC Grillz?
What does he know about sneakers?

Major, you'd be way better
at selling them.

[gasps] You could star
in a sneaker commercial!

[Major barks]

[laughs]

[Karma] Dr. Mother, Mr. Father.
Please have a seat.

I'd like to talk to you about…

[clears throat]

…new sneakers.

Welcome to my play, Me, You, and the Shoe.

It's the classic tale of a boy
and his noble desire

for Sky Rockets.

[Karma] Today, I ask the question
on everyone's mind.

What is a sneaker?

Here we go.

My answer.

A sneaker is everything!

And that's why I'm asking you
to buy me a new pair of Sky Rockets.

No, it's not my birthday or Christmas
or even Daddy-Daughter Day.

But do my feet not yearn?

Do my toes not crave sneakers
of the coolest variety?

As my pie chart shows,

a new pair of sneakers is equal
to the price of just 18 apple pies.

For I do not want a shoe with a sole.
I want a shoe with soul.

Karma, the shoes we bought you
for school…

…are practically still new.

[both] Please?

[both] No.

[Winston pants]

[both] Huh?

[both groan]

-You got a "no" too, huh?
-Uh-huh.

-Orange?
-[sighs] Apple?

[sighs] So we won't be rocking
matching Rockets after all.

But I guess our regular shoes are OK.

I mean… it could be worse.

-[group] Ooh!
-Thank you, thank you.

Dope, right?

I know. [chuckles]

Crash has Sky Rockets?

I can't believe he put those beautiful
sneakers on such stinky feet.

Look at him, showing off!

-Those Sky Rockets are clean!
-[Crash laughs]

Man, I can't believe your parents
got you Rockets.

Nuh-uh! I used the money
from my tour guide job

and bought 'em myself.

A job? [gasps]

Winston, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

[both] Yeah!

Ms. Washington! Wait up!

Aw, hey, y'all!

What you want? I'm on the move.

[chuckles] Watch out now!

Ms. Dubs, we're looking
to make some money.

We were wondering if there's any work
we could do for you?

[sighs] Well, come to think of it…

Whew! Now, this is my Dancercise class.

It's dancing, plus exercise.

But we need music to groove to!

Karma, your job
is to sing the Flex 'N' Flow.

-And Winston, you'll be class cheerleader.
-OK.

Inspire them, boy! Inspiration!

-[Keys laughs]
-Huh? Keys? You're taking this class?

-No, but Major is.
-[Major pants]

He's gotta practice his dance moves
to be in the Sky Rockets commercial.

[Major barks and pants]

Alright, everybody!

Welcome to Ms. Washington's
Dancercise Class! Woo!

[Mr. Crawford] Mm-hmm!

Hmm! I'm glad you two didn't come
for my advanced class.

[customers chatter]

Oh, yes, you're hired.

We got birthdays, anniversaries,
so-and-so-ons, what-have-yous.

Lotta sconescrapers to stack 'n' serve.

Well, what are you waitin' for?

Let's get stackin'!

[both] Whoa!

OK, need a sconescraper over here!

On my way, Chef!

Whoa!

Almost there!

Whoa!

No!

[chuckles nervously] Sorry?

How about you two
take the rest of the day off?

All right, bye-bye!

Sure, I got some work for you.

Yeah.

I'm just gonna… rest my eyes.

[snores]

[Winston and Karma grunt with effort]

Whoa!

-[Mr. Crawford whistles]
-[both sigh]

Oh! You two look a little tired.
Want a cold glass of orange juice?

-[chuckles] Sure!
-That sounds great.

[Mr. Crawford] Then get to squeezing.

Um, Mr. Crawford? I actually think
we're gonna call it a day.

All right. Suit yourselves.

-Huh?
-What?

Uh… What's this?

Your payment! One hard candy each.

And that's the good kind, too.
Butterscotch.

We can't buy sneakers with this!

[grunts] In my day,
one hard candy was plenty.

Especially if it was butterscotch!

[both groan]

We're gonna need a lot more
to get our Sky Rockets.

Yep! Ready for another day of work?

Ready.

[upbeat music plays]

Whew! We worked every second this weekend.

But check it out… One, two…

Did we do it? Did we make enough money
to buy the Sky Rockets?

Yeah, but… only one pair.

One pair?! But we dreamed
about wearing the Sky Rockets together.

This is awful.
To think, I did all that work…

Uh, I did a lot of work, too.

Yeah, I know,
but I carried most of those sconescrapers.

[gasps] I'm the one who sang
the Flex 'N' Flow over and over again

for Ms. Washington's class.

-I'm just saying--
-You're not even remembering--

-…enough for one pair…
-…starting to make me think…

[both] Maybe I deserve the Rockets.

[both] Maybe you deserve the Rockets?!
What about me?!

Know what? Maybe you should take your half
of the money and I should take mine.

Sounds good to me.

Will you give this to Winston
when he gets home?

Sure, Karma, but what is…

Karma?

Work it, baby! Wag that tail!

Wiggle that nose!
Sell me Sky Rockets, Major!

What is going on now?

I'm getting Major ready
to model the Sky Rockets.

-Now, strut your stuff.
-[Major barks]

Uh, who put an apple in the shot?

Can we get the apple out of here, please?

Did Winston leave this?

-Yeah, yeah, he dropped it off for you.
-[Major barks]

No, Major, no!
Models do not chase their own tail.

[gasps]

He gave me his half of the money.

Oh, Win.

-[both pant]
-I'm sorry, K.

Me too. I want you to take the money
and get the Rockets.

Because they're art and that's so you.

No, you keep the money.
I want you to get the Rockets.

They're so hip-hop and that's so you.

Uh-uh. If we can't rock the sneakers
together, I don't wanna rock them at all.

[gasps] Wait! If you're willing
to put our money together,

I've got an idea.

[Winston chuckles]
I call them the Flex 'N' Flows!

You're flexin', I'm flowin'.
These kicks are so us!
