02x22 - Keep A Lid On It

[bunniefuu]

BUFFY: Previously, on Andi Mack...

I kinda think I'm not
really a bracelet guy.

You asked me to make it for you.

I know, but, now when I
wear this, it feels like

a girlfriend-y, boyfriend-y thing.

So to sum up, we're not
boyfriend, girlfriend.

Could you please put that back
where you found it?

BEX: In the trash?

ANDI: Which is where it belongs.

JONAH: I think you should
do that time capsule.

No, she doesn't want the time capsule.

She said it'd be like
going to her own funeral.

What if you don't bury it?

So we just go, "Here, we
made you a time capsule"?

And we didn't bury it,
so you can open it anytime.

- What's wrong with that?
- Absolutely nothing.

BUFFY'S (ON PHONE): It's Buffy.
You know what to do.

I miss you so much right now!

I would do anything to talk to you.

Here I am. What's going on?

Why'd you make me rush right over?

I have a surprise for you.

A surprise? I love surprises.

What is it?

You'll find out.
You just have to be patient.

I can't be patient. Especially when
someone tells me to be patient.

Give me a hint.
Is it bigger than a breadbox?

Yes... it's bigger than a breadbox.

Okay, how big is a breadbox?

I've never even seen a breadbox.

Sorry. No more hints.

Oh, come on. Please? One more, one more!

Where should I put this?

Oh, anywhere's fine. I'm just...

I was gonna call you. I swear.

I was gonna call you.

I just wanted to do it
when I could sound happy.

Well, that would've been awful.

Sad Cyrus and Sad Andi

really wanted to talk to Sad Buffy.

Well, Sad Buffy was the one
who left without saying goodbye.

That's right. That's how we ended up

with Time Capsule Buffy.

Okay, but how did we end up
with Real Buffy?

The government's latest budget.

Guess what's not in it?

My mom's new program.

They cut it.

That's so sad.

Yeah, it is. However...

The m*llitary gave my mom another job.

And guess where it is?

An hour away from here!

Yay!

Baby taters for everyone!

(CHEERING AND CLAPPING)

There are a lot of people in here.

Don't worry. I have some
leftover bar mitzvah cash

my parents don't know about.

So, this is the time capsule.

She has a name.

It's beautiful, guys. Thank you.

She's not just beautiful on the outside.

She's even more beautiful on the inside.

You keep on saying "she",

like it's a person.

She got us through a tough time.

- It.
- I'll get there.

Can I open it?

Yeah, of course, she's...

it's yours.

It's stuck.

Help me.

She's feisty.

BOTH: It!

Cy-guy! What are you doin' here?

Figured you could use
a fresh sweat band.

I could.

Arctic Berry Blast. Your favorite.

You're the best.

No. I'm the vest.

And obviously, I had to be here
when you tried out

- for the Ultimate elite team.
- (WHISTLE BLOWS)

I don't know if that's such a good idea.

This could get embarrassing.

Are you nervous?

That's not a team! That's a platoon!

They've got maneuvers!

Breathe through it. Drink.

You've felt like this before,
and you were okay then,

you're gonna be okay now.

- (WHISTLE BLOWS)
- Thanks.

I'm so glad you're here.

- (BLOWING WHISTLE)
- You don't have to do this.

You're still gonna be Jonah Beck.

I'm okay.

And Dad, this chicken...

When are you gonna
make your dumplings again?

- Ooh, dumplings.
- Yeah, dumplings.

- I'll help!
- Me too!

Uh, let's do it tomorrow.

Great!

Oh! Works for me!

Wait, wait, wait, important question.

Did Mom just lose the memory game?

Yes, she did!

- Ooh...
- You two need to be nice to me.

- I just got us dumplings.
- (LAUGHING)

- Eh?
- Yes...

Hey. It's late. We should get going.

Okay, I'm almost done.

What are you making?

A bracelet for Jonah.

I thought those had been discontinued.

Huh... Funny thing...
it turns out the only times

Jonah and I ever completely
understood one another,

it was through the bracelet
that I gave him.

When I put it on his wrist, it
was me saying, "I like you."

Then, when he took it off,
that was him telling me

he doesn't wanna be a couple.

It was a totem.

Yeah. Whatever that is.

It wasn't just any bracelet,

it had some kind of meaningful purpose.

Like you said, it spoke to you.

I had a talking bracelet.

And I threw it away.

Yeah... sounds like me.

(LAUGHS) What if you still had it?

What would you do with it?

I'd give it to Jonah.

He'd know it meant I'm his girlfriend,

he's my boyfriend, and we're a couple.

You think that'll work
with a different bracelet?

I don't know.

Well, let me see it.

Hmm... (HUMMING)

hmmm...

Mm. No. It won't work.

How can you tell?

Well, the other bracelet,
it was like it had a soul.

I had a totem that had a soul...
and a voice.

How could you let me throw that away?

Because I'm an awful,
terrible, super horrible mom.

Or am I?

(SIGHS)

Thank you for not listening to me.

Anytime.

- (GRUNTING)
- Ahhhhh-eeee!

No.

BEX: That is on there good.

You know who could probably
get it off, though?

Bowie!

I was thinking Jonah.

I've beaten Jonah in arm wrestling.

And I couldn't get it open.

Oh, what do we say, let him try.

Well, I could invite him over.

(GASP) Great idea!
I'll set out some snacks!

Where are you going?

To get snacks.

(SIGHS) This is my least favorite
part about texting Jonah.

Wondering what he's gonna say.

Do you really not know?

The guy wrote you a song.

That's true.

And he did come up
with the idea for this.

- The time capsule?
- Not burying it.

Giving it to you so you
could open it any time.

That was Jonah's idea?

He said you made history, and that you
should have your basketball jersey.

I can't believe Jonah
thought of that and I didn't.

And he got the entire team
to sign the basketball.

- Except T.J.
- Including T.J.

- He did so much.
- He really cares about you.

Hmm.

Tell me, what else is inside?

Some pictures. A Good Hair Crew t-shirt.

(BOTH GIGGLING)

Shoelaces from Marty.

Marty.

I hope he has a girlfriend.

He does.

He does?

Should've taken a little longer
to get over me.

(LAUGHS) If it's any consolation,

I never would have.

Cyrus, either.

(SIGHS) I am so sorry I left
without saying goodbye.

But you're back.

That's all that matters.

I kinda don't wanna open
Time Capsule Buffy anymore.

Now that I know what's inside her.

You mean... it?

No, I don't.

Well... Why am I texting Jonah
to come over now?

Duh, to give him the bracelet.

Well, that's my real reason,
but what's my text reason?

Enough. I'll text him.

What are you gonna say?

That I'm back and I wanna see him.

You're not even gonna mention me at all?

- (TEXT CHIMES)
- Ooh...

(LAUGHING) I already sent it! It's gone!

If you could stop refreshing
your email every five seconds,

I'd find that really refreshing.

The coach said he'd send out
the team roster at o'clock.

It's o'clock!

It's : .

You still have two minutes.

I'm not going to make the team.

You're gonna make the team.

Don't worry about my feelings.

Be honest with me.

How'd I look at tryouts?

- Honestly?
- Please.

You played with commitment and heart,

and I'm sure that that's
what they're looking for.

(PHONE CHIMES)

Is that the coach?

It's a text from Buffy.

She says she's back.

Is she back?

Did I not mention that?

No, dude, you didn't.

- (PHONE PINGS)
- Buffy again?

It's the coach.

This is gonna be more good news.
We're on a roll!

No, no, no, no.

There must've been some mistake.

(SIGHS)

That coach is a fool and a buffoon.

This is a senseless decision and
he will rue the day he made it.

- It's okay.
- This is not okay!

This is the furthest thing from okay.

It gives me a goal.

Something to work towards.

Well, if that's how you feel,
then I will stop shouting.

Thanks for being there.

I'm lucky to have you as a friend.

We're both lucky.

Hey, you know what'll
make you feel happy?

- Seeing Buffy.
- Let's go!

Hey, can I borrow your vest?

For what?

If I'm the elite team's "vest
friend," I'll get to know them,

learn the plays, and they'll
see how committed I am.

Solid plan, man.

However, I will need to educate
you on the various pockets,

and the proper distributions
of the products therein.

Maybe I'll just get my own vest.

Um, I understand that you are
responsible for this little lady.

I hear you can't get it open.

Want me to give it a sh*t?

Actually, Andi told me what was inside.

I decided I don't wanna take it apart.

The whole is greater
than the sum of its parts.

- What he said.
- (ALL LAUGHING)

Okay, well, if you change your mind,

here are the instructions.

Ahh, it came with instructions.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, can you guys stick around?

Bex is getting snacks, and Andi has
something she'd like to tell Jonah.

Did you really have to?

(QUIETLY) You clearly weren't going to.

Hmm...

I... Yeah... Outside?

Sure.

What's up?

Well, um... (CLEARS THROAT)

It turns out... that... (SIGHS)

I thought you threw it away.

I thought so, too.

(SIGHS)

I'm so glad you're smiling right now.

- It's deja vu all over again.
- (LAUGHS)

You said this was a girlfriend-y,
boyfriend-y thing.

Do you still think that?

Yes.

Do you?

Yeah.

I'm so happy for them.

But for real this time.

It's okay if you're not.

But I am.

That's great.

If you ever feel like
talking about it, though...

Buffy, my crush on Jonah...

- Yeah?
- It's gone.

Really? When did that happen?

I can't say exactly when it ended.

Today is when I realized it.

Jonah tried out for an elite Ultimate
team, and he didn't make it.

Which he probably
wouldn't want you to know.

It could not be more irrelevant.

Great. Anyway, he felt
bad, so we hugged,

which used to make my heart go, like,
ba-boom ba-boom ba-boom ba-boom.

But this time, it was more, (SLOWER)
ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom.

So, your crush, it just disappeared.

I wouldn't say disappeared,
more like, just, changed.

To friendship.

It was my first crush,
I don't know how they work.

And you couldn't tell me, 'cause
you've never had one, either.

I haven't?

What are you saying?

Nothing.

Have you had a crush?

I haven't had... a crush.

You have one?

As I live and breathe,
Buffy Driscoll has a crush!

It's brand new.

It just happened.

This is so exciting. Tell me
everything, starting with who!

Oooh! I can't wait.

Ready? Go!

Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt.

Ha-ha! I've got snacks.

Sweet and salty!

Huh. Who doesn't like
chocolate-covered pretzels?

Mm, these are the best I've ever made.

Ahem?

We made.

- Mm-mm.
- And it wasn't that hard.

- It was super easy.
- It was fun.

Well, if you want them again soon,

you're gonna have to do them without me,

because I won't be here.

What do you mean you won't be here?

I'm gonna do a little traveling.

Just for a few weeks. Maybe longer.

Mom can't leave. We're
about to open the store.

I'm going alone.

Go where?

Ah, first, I'm going
to this ashram in India.

What's that?

It's a spiritual retreat where
you go to find inner peace.

But you are the most peaceful
person in the family.

- (HAM LAUGHS)
- You said "first."

What are you doing after?

No idea.

It'll be an adventure.

But what about us?

You'll be fine.

You don't know that.

What if I need you?

Ohh, everybody's in a good place here.

You're busy with friends and school,

and Bex and Celia have Cloud Ten.

This is a great time for me to go.

But I never even knew you wanted to go.

Why all of a sudden are you this ashram
guy who wants to have adventures?

I thought you were Pops.

Oh, I'm still Pops, Shnoo.

And this isn't a new idea.

CeCe and I have dreamed for years
of selling the house one day

so that we could travel.

But when that day came... we didn't.

For me.

And then Celia's dream changed
and she bought a business.

For me.

I'm glad.

It... It all worked out for the best.

It's just, my dream hasn't changed.

This is something I have to do.

For me.

Okay?

Okay.

What does Mom think of all this?

- Well...
- You haven't told her yet?

I was going to at dinner.

Ohhh...

We're gonna need more dumplings.

When's he gonna tell her?

He'll wait till after dinner. He has to.

Where! Are! My! Dumplings!

(LAUGHS)

Here they come!

(GASP)

Ho leng.

What are you waiting for?

Come on!

Nothing! Ha!

Before we eat these dumplings,

there's somethin' I need to tell you.

What's happening?

- Ryan Dilmore.
- Nope.

- Lucas Sarno.
- Nope.

- Dave Schnepper?
- The Schnep?

Are you kidding?

This isn't fair.

I told you my crush, and you
know how difficult that was.

This is different.

How is it different?

I don't know.

It just is.

Anyways, it doesn't matter, because
nothing is going to happen.

It still matters. It's your first crush.

And we're crush buddies. We only tell
each other. we don't tell anyone else.

Not even Andi.

Ooh.

I can't tell Andi?

Why can't I tell Andi?

I've said too much already.

Because it's him?

ANDI: Next, on Andi Mack...

- Aahh!
- Aaah! What are you doing here?

Sorry, the bulb's usually on
if my mom's with a patient.

- Of course you'd be here.
- Of course you'd be here.

Jonah, allow me to explain...

I think it's pretty obvious
what's goin' on here.

Morgan, let me show you something.

Each one of these
plays a different song.

- I like it.
- Can you put away the music boxes?

- All done.
- Is that all of the boxes?

Yes.

- You have a tell.
- A what?

A tell. It's an unconscious thing you do

when you're trying to hide something.

Like who you have a crush on?
