02x09 - Upcycle-A-Rooney

[bunniefuu]

Thank you for donating.

Thank you for donating.

"Up-cycling" is when you take old clothes, add some bling make 'em sing, and then you donate them to charity.

I actually just made a beach bag out of a couple of old skirts.

Yeah.

I call it the "Totes cute tote.

" Andie!

Andie, Andie, Andie, Andie.

Liv, what did we say about sneaking up on the girl with the blowtorch?

My brother did that once.

He still only has one eyebrow.

Whoa!

Flower pins score!

Right?

Ha, ha!

Andie and I met in art class, and we are also co-chairs of the up-cycling club.

I really, really, really like her, but we are sort of finding that we are cut from a different cloth.

I am a soft velvet, where she is more of a Bulletproof kevlar.

Being the only girl in a house of five brothers leaves some gaps in your girl skills, so hanging with Liv is like a breath of fresh air, which, in a house with five brothers, is also something I know nothing about.

Check it out.

Liv.

Those are trash-tastic!

Wait, where'd you get the - the metal?

- Oh!

From the up-cycling bin.

I figure if you can't up-cycle the up-cycling bin Then what are we even doing this for?

Come on, old man Luke.

It's called speed chess, not nap time.

Ow, who's air hockey puck is that?

Sorry, munch.

That one got away from me.

Hitting you was just a nice bonus.

What are you doing here?

Playing air hockey with my big brother.

But I'm your big brother.

I joined this new program "Show up to bro up.

" I wanted to get paired up with an older guy who could teach me cool stuff.

But I'm an older guy who could teach you cool stuff.

Oh, wait, you're serious.

Yo, little bro, we still playing?

One second, big bro.

Your "big bro" is Todd Stetson?

Well, what does he have that I don't have?

Besides huge pecs, gigantic biceps and a football scholarship to the university of Wisconsin?

Okay, I totally see your point.

I remember you.

You helped me with my geometry homework.

Oh.

Ha.

Actually, that was Molly Myman, but I can see how you'd confuse us.

We both wear glasses Except for Molly Who does not.

Todd says I've got serious air hockey skills.

Oh, straight up, bro!

I love having a cool big brother!

You already have a cool big brother!

Hey, mom, need a hand?

I am here to help.

Are you one of my children?

What are you doing?

I am getting my steps up.

Now that I finally have my knee brace off, I'm trying to build up my cardio.

I even got myself this handy, dandy Safari stepper to help me keep track with my steps.

Good for you.

Hey, think you're in as good shape as your old mom?

Can still do the splits, you know?

Russian and Chinese.

Nobody wants to see that, mom.

Oh!

Sounds like somebody can't handle the competition.

Competition?

Are you suggesting that we compete?

Ooh!

'Cause, uh, these things are sold in pairs.

Think you can handle a step off?

Mama can handle it.

You're on.

I will take you to school so fast, you'll call me bus driver.

Beep, beep!

Please, you'll be the baby on the bus going, "wah, wah, wah!" Now check out these splits.

Okay.

Okay, it's just that the jeans don't stretch.

So You are very lucky that I am not wearing my yoga pants right now.

- Now.

- Okay.

Hmm.

Wait.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom, where's my twin charm bracelet?!

When Liv moved away to Los Angeles, she got us matching twin charms.

And every day that she was away, it helped me feel connected to her.

It is the most important thing in the world to me.

So, have any of you guys seen it?

No, but I'm serious.

Start looking.

Thank you.

I lost it!

Oh, Liv is gonna k*ll me!

Okay, okay, just sit down.

Relax.

We are gonna figure out where you lost it.

Okay.

Just close your eyes And try to remember.

Mom, are you trying to get your steps up?

I said close your eyes!

Hey, Andie, finish going through all the lost and found?

Find anything good we can up-cycle?

A lot of t-shirts from Joey's failed run for class president.

Ah.

"Keep calm and Joey on.

" I'm kinda thinking people lost these on purpose.

Actually, this is Maddie's sweater.

There's something in here.

Her twin charms?!

She lost these?!

Why didn't she tell me?!

Did she tell you?!

Breathe!

That looks just like your necklace.

Yeah.

Maddie and I have a matching set of charms, except hers are on a bracelet.

I got these for her when I moved away to Hollywood, and, you know, knowing that she was wearing hers made it easier for me to be so far away.

Aw, that's sweet.

My brothers never give me charms.

They did let a fruit bat loose in my bedroom once while I was sleeping.

They love me in their own special way.

Okay, I have found my retainer, my library card and, like, four cheese graters.

But no charms!

Where are my charms?!

Uh!

Uh Whatcha doin'?

Just, you know, just Studying, studying for the Wisps.

Ha-ha!

The Wisps.

Ha-ha!

"Wisps" is short for the Wisconsin preparatory exams.

Acing them is crucial to getting into a good college.

It's just kinda hard to take them seriously.

Wisps.

Wis Wis He can't even say it!

Wisps.

Wisps!

Maddie and I are gonna ace those Wisps.

You know why?

Uh, you have twin telepathy and can cheat?

Ah, that is ridiculous, Andie.

Telepathy doesn't exist.

Maddie and I are gonna ace those Wisps because we both have our lucky twin charms.

Right, mads?

Show Andie your charms.

Oh I don't think she wants to see that.

Oh, I'm pretty sure she probably does.

Don't you, Andie?

I don't really care.

Oh, you do too care, remember?

Show her your charms.

Okay.

Oh, no!

My bracelet It is missing.

I was just wearing it a moment ago and thinking about how much I love you.

Oh.

Um, well, let's use our twin telepathy to find it.

Yeah, I'll help you.

See?

Here we go.

Oh, wait!

Oh!

Maddie, I see it!

It is it is in my pocket Surrounded by your lies!

It is so fun at your house.

Why would you lose something so important and then not tell me?

Liv, I didn't tell you 'cause I thought you were gonna be upset Sort of like you are now.

Well, I'm No, I'm not upset.

I'm just so So disappointed.

Ooh.

The disappointment card A strategy usually reserved for parents, but equally effective coming from a twin.

Liv used the disappointment card without my permission?

I'm not upset, just so So disappointed.

What time is it?

It's jousting time.

I had to find a way to show Parker that I was a better big brother than Todd Stetson.

Parker liked him because he was into sports, which isn't exactly in my wheelhouse.

So, I picked the next best thing How now, good sir?

I have tickets to today's joust.

Prithee, would you join me at the renaissance fair?

"Pet not this cat"?

Yeah.

I made my own family motto and crest based on my love of kitties.

I'm in, kind sir.

Let us mount our steeds and be off!

Do I know my little brother, or what?

Hey, Todd Stetson, pet not this cat.

Oh, Parker, look who I found walking up the driveway.

It is so nice to have a big, strong boy to help me carry in the groceries.

But I'm a big, strong boy to help you carry in the groceries.

Oh, yes you are.

Oh, mama loves you.

Hey, little bro, the air hockey table at Clancy's is calling our name.

Sorry, Todd, he already has plans with his real big brother.

No offense, munch, but an afternoon of air hockey with Todd Stetson trumps an afternoon of dress-up with you.

Wow, this dress is legit.

Yeah.

Good call putting an up-cycling bin in Frank's make-your-own meat pie factory.

Yeah, you know, people leave a surprising amount of clothing at Frank's.

I mean, who takes off their clothes to make a meat pie?

See, that's the difference between us.

It totally makes sense to me.

Hey, where's your sister necklace thingy?

It's right here.

It's gone!

My sister necklace thingy is gone!

I lost it!

Don't freak.

We'll retrace our steps.

What?!

Retrace our steps?!

Andie, we were all over town collecting clothing today.

It could be anywhere.

I mean, it could be It could be at Clancy's, it could be at the mall it could be at Frank's make-your-own meat pie factory.

Or worse, in a meat pie.

What, you think I'm gonna schlep all the way to Frank's and not make a meat pie?!

Andie, help me look.

We're never going to find it.

How are you gonna tell Maddie after you freaked when she lost her charms?

Well, I'm not gonna tell her.

Right!

She'll just know 'cause you have twin telepathy.

We do not have telepathy!

Besides, if it tell her, then she's gonna play the disappointment card, and then I'm gonna get defensive, and then she's gonna lash out, and The delicate balance of our twin bond will be ruined!

You know what?

I'm just gonna lie.

Yeah, I'm gonna lie to protect the future of our sisterhood.

Or you just don't like it when she's right, and you're wrong.

You and I are very different people, but you totally get me.

Mom, thank you so much for doing this with me.

I mean, it makes working out so much more fun when you have a workout buddy.

I love you.

Which is just gonna make crushing your Safari steppin' dreams all that much sweeter!

Bam!

What?!

Maddie, you've completed 12,642 steps.

Your status is jaguar.

Yes!

- Your turn.

- Okay.

Karen, you've completed 3,200 steps.

Your status is Sloth.

Oh!

Well, I demand a rematch, young lady.

Same time tomorrow?

Oh, you're on sloth.

- Hey, so, mom.

- Mm-hmm?

Now that you are in your yoga pants, I, personally, would love to see you do those splits.

Oh, gladly.

Oh.

Little help up here.

Can't.

Too busy winning!

What?

Maddie, no!

Oh, Joey.

Well, well, well, who needs a big, strong boy now?

Oh!

Oh!

Here, little dude.

Go get us some eats.

Thanks, Todd.

'Sup, girls.

Just spending time with my little bro.

Hey, dude.

I'm at Clancy's with the twerp.

Hey, you'd think a kid smart enough to be in high school robotics would realize when he's being used as chick bait.

What a dummy.

Oh, I gotta go.

Todd Stetson is using my little brother to get girls?

Can you believe this?

Old man Luke, I'm your chick bait?

Okay, are you sure that you can make an exact copy of Maddie's bracelet?

Yeah, once I get a picture, I can rebuild anything.

Okay.

I crashed my brother's bike, and he's been riding one made out of melted forks for two years.

Okay.

Good.

- Okay.

- So What do you wanna draw on her, mustache or unibrow?

What?

Why why would we draw on her?

Your house is so different than mine, let's go, let's go.

You shall not pass!

You shall not do that again.

Okay, listen, Todd.

I was at Clancy's.

I heard you talking to your friends.

I know you're just using my little brother to get girls.

So what?

Well, he's my little brother, not your little puppy.

So back off, or else.

Or else what?

Are you gonna fight me?

Fight?

What am I, some 21st century hooligan, Todd?

We shall joust, kind sir!

With scooters for steeds and wet mops for lances.

Yeah, none of that is happening.

Hey, Todd.

You know what else isn't happening?

You and me.

I'm giving you your air hockey puck back.

Go fetch!

Yeah, that's not happening either.

Hey.

You weren't supposed to hear any of that.

Are you kidding?

That was epic!

Thanks for standing up for me, munch.

Any time, little bro.

So, do we, like, hug it out now?

No!

We joust!

Not the face!

Not the face!

Oh, this was a terrible idea!

I drank a little mop water that day.

Not the first time I've tasted it, but Definitely the sweetest.

Ow!

Parker, quit it!

Great work on these charms, Andie.

I made the honesty charm from my brother's car key.

Yep, it is perfect.

Maddie will never know.

Only one way to find out.

Hey Maddie.

Hey, Liv.

I am so ready for those Wisps.

Wisps Yeah, I got my lucky twin charm bracelet right here.

Yep, me too!

I do too!

But where my I put mine on my neck I always have where I keep it where where my neck is.

Huh, yeah, okay.

Well, I think I'm probably just gonna meet you guys inside.

I have to sharpen up my #2 pencils.

Yeah, you do.

You go, girl!

You do you!

Whoo!

Uh, you you used to be an actress, right?

Hurtful words.

But I did it.

I am in the clear.

You're gonna tell her, aren't you?

I have to!

These charms are lies burning into my neck.

Maddie!

I lost my charms and then I used your charms to make replacement charms, because I felt so bad about your charms.

And I broke the delicate balance of our twin bond, and I just don't deserve you!

Whoa, Liv.

It is just a necklace.

No, but, Maddie, it's not just a necklace.

It's the thing that we used to keep each other close when we were so far apart.

Yeah, but, Liv, we're not so far apart anymore.

And I mean, these charms will always be special, but we're together now.

You know?

Maddie, that was so sweet.

I should have said something like that to you when you lost yours Instead of making you feel so terrible about it and rubbing your nose in it.

I'm sorry.

There it is.

What?

Your apology For pulling the disappointment card.

I had to get back at you.

Here are your charms.

Yeah, I stole her charms to teach her a lesson.

I knew that the charms that she was wearing were copies, because I was awake the whole time those two were in my room.

You do not survive at basketball camp if you are a heavy sleeper.

Thank you.

You stole my necklace?!

Yup, to teach you a lesson.

- But that's awful.

- But it worked.

But that's the part that's awful.

Hugs to end an argument?

Man, your family is way different than mine.

Flee before the house of Rooney!

Yeah, it's not that different.

And we don't have telepathy.

That was kinda cool.

Now it's just creepy.

Stop it!

No, you stop it!

- Mother.

- Madison.

Time!

Maddie, you've completed 13,744 steps.

Your status is cheetah.

Hmm.

Karen, you've completed 24,300 steps.

Your status is lion, king of the jungle.

Wow, that is fantastic, mom.

I am proud of you.

And honestly, I'm really glad that we get to do Oh, stop it.

You know this is k*lling you.

It's k*lling me.

We go again tomorrow?

You're on.

Okay.

I'm gonna need another Great job.

And I'm going to need that giant super soaker you said I couldn't have.

Fine.

I'd also like a piggyback ride to the car.

Are you kidding me?

Okay, saddle up.
