(slurps, sighs)

Thanks for coming with me
to meet my cousin, Frankie.

I haven't seen him in, like, a year.

No prob. Hey, where's Grandma?

Doesn't she want to see Ernie?

Uh, no. He's from
the other side of the family.

Grandma hates them.

There was a coleslaw incident.

It made the news!

(slurping)

Boy, you're really
hitting those waters hard.

You seem a little... nervous.

Nervous? I'm not nervous.
I'm totally chill.

You can put your arms
down now, I'm convinced.

Okay, look.

My cousin's the coolest person I know.

He's smart, he's handsome,

he graduated high school early.

Every year, my family crowns him

the King of Thanksgiving.

Please don't tell me
there's an actual crown.

Why else would anyone want the honor?

So big whoop, your cousin's awesome.

What's the problem?

Do you really want me to say it?

I'm jealous of him.

He's great at everything.

It always makes me feel so much worse
about myself when he's around.

Yeah, I get that.

But c'mon, the Bern-Dog's
life is straight fire, right?

Really? You think so? In what ways?

Please don't put me
on the spot like that.

Ah-ha-ha! There's my baby cuz!

Hey Ernie. It's nice to see you.

This is my friend Frankie.

Sup, I'm Ernie Plotz.

Seriously?

You didn't think it was worth mentioning

you're Bernie Schotz
and his name is Ernie Plotz?

Why? What's weird about that?

Hey, sorry I'm late. I was
visiting a couple colleges.

Well, I mean, sorry not sorry.

How does one choose between

the best heart surgery
program in the country,

and the best brain surgery program
in the country, am I right?

(stammering) Yeah, yeah. I hear ya.

I mean, curly fries or crinkle cut.

We all got tough decisions to make.

Wow. So you want to be a doctor?

Yeah, it's just this silly
little dream I have

of helping every person who needs it.

Yeah, well...

one time I ate a bunch of my own hair

and then it got stuck inside my body,

so I know a lot about doctors, too.

They never got it out, but he's
now part of an ongoing study.

So, Bernie,

how are your little phone videos going?

- Uh...
- (phone ringing)

you know, actually
they're more than just...

Oh, you know what? Hold that thought.

I actually have to use my phone
to do something important.

Oh, that's Dr. DiPiazza.

I guess when you're an intern

for the top surgeon in New York City,

you gotta be on call / .

Dr. Deep! What's shakin', bacon?

See what I mean?

Wow. He is really cool.

Yeah, and for once I want to be
the cool guy when I'm around him.

You know what, Bernie?

You can be.

Why don't we invite
Ernie back to the house

and I can make sure you look like
the coolest guy in the world.

Really, you'd do that for me?

You're the best, Frankie. Bring it in.

You know what? When that throat
hair doctor calls you back,

mention the armpit thing.

Lou Scoopmaker here
with another hot scoop.

They're called escape rooms.

Known for having elaborate themes,

kids everywhere are flocking to them.

And based on the old magazines
and chairs in here,

the theme for this one
seems to be some sort of lobby.

I'm being told I'm in the lobby.

They're called escape rooms.

In this one, players
are locked in King Tut's Tomb,

then have to find clues
and solve puzzles to escape.

And they only have one hour to do it.

Sounds stressful for
this claustrophobic reporter,

but for some, I imagine
it's quite an escape.

For Malibu Action News,
Lou Scoopmaker, out.

Lou Scoopmaker, out?

Lou Scoopmaker, ahh!

He's stuck in there.

That looks like so much fun.

And online they're saying it's the
hardest escape room in the city.

No one has ever finished it.

We should do it.

Cool! I've never done an escape room.

Or most things. I'm just a child.

I'm in! I've never done
an escape room either.

Oh, um, one time,
I had a coupon to do one,

but it expired.

I need better stories.

What are you hens clucking about?

Oh, a new escape room opened.
We're gonna try it.

Oh yeah, I saw that on the news.

Lou Scoopmaker's stuck in there.

Let's just say they're gonna
start calling him Lou Poopmaker.

I don't get it.

(whispering inaudibly)

Oh my goodness.

So when are you gonna
hit up this escape room?

I don't know. Uh, tomorrow?

Great. Count me in.

Awesome.

- Cool.
- Yay!

Ughh.

Not cool.

Yay!

I'm sorry. I wasn't listening.

I just like saying yay. What happened?

She can't be on our team.

She cray.

Cray-cray.

C'mon, it might be good
to have an adult on our team.

Maybe she's really good
at problem solving.

Don't wanna open, huh, soup?

I will destroy you
and everybody you love!

That's it, I'm getting my chainsaw.

Okay, that lady cannot be on our team.

She cray.

(phone vibrating)

Alright, Ernie's pulling up.
Places everyone.

All right, "Operation Make
Bernie Look Cool" is a go.

The house is Bern-ified
and everyone knows what to do.

You ready?

I was born ready.

And with what my pediatrician
described as,

"a lot of back hair for a baby."

Don't say that. To anyone. Ever.

(knocking on door)

Hey! What's up, Ernie?
Welcome to my crib.

Wow, sweet digs.

This place pretty is cool.

Almost as cool as the sodas
in the hospital cafeteria.

I get free refills.

And I get to keep the cup.

Wow, sounds like you're a pretty
big deal at the hosp... ital.

Must run in the fam, 'cause Bernie's
a pretty big deal around here.

Bernie, I cannot wait
to see your new video.

I am so lucky to live with such
an influential Vuuugler.

You said it.

Living with Bernie has been life...

changing.

Yep, Bernie's the coolest.

Oh, by the way, here's that money
I owe you for "lunch" yesterday.

I didn't believe your lunch.

(siren wailing)

What's going on?

Oh, that siren means it's time for...

ALL: The Bernie Viddie of the Day!

Whoo!

- ♪ Bernie Calls the Shotz ♪
- Hey, hey!

♪ Bernie Calls the Shotz ♪

♪ Bernie Calls the Shotz ♪

♪ Bernie Calls the Shotz ♪

♪ Bernie Calls the Shotz ♪

♪ Shotz, Shotz, Shotz ♪

♪ Shotz, Shotz, Shotz ♪

This happens every day?

Well I wouldn't say every day,

but you just did, so, yeah.

Bernie, your new video's already
up to five million views!

Wow, your videos get five million views?

Yeah, it must be a slow week.

You know how it is, Ern.

Every view is like saving a life.

So I guess I'm five million doctors.

This is Bernie's room!

Whoa, this is your room?

Bubble hockey?

A king-size bed?

Look at that ocean view!

I mean, it looks like a postcard.

I mean, why travel when my
whole life's a vacation?

Hey what are the "P"
and "F" pillows for?

BOTH: Uhhhh...

Those stand for... Pizza and Fries.

'Cause Paige and Frankie love them

and those are their pillows.

Saved it.

And this is where I come
to get away from it all.

I call it the Chill Zone.

Wow, this place is pretty chill.

And it's definitely a zone.

So I guess that is
the perfect name for it.

Yeah, it would perfect
if it weren't for the star tour

that stops by every hour.

Oh, guten tag.
I'm a typical German tourist.

My celebrity tour map says Bernie

from "Bernie Calls
der Schotz" lives here. Ja?

(gasps)

Ach du liebe, it's Herr Bernie!

May I receive a photo?

Anything for a fan.

Uh, no-no, just the handsome star.

Bernie, I gotta say,

I am blown away by your life here.

I mean, living the beach
life, making videos.

It is super sweet.

It's like I always say:

Come up with something later
to say that sounds smart.

Well, we'll let you get back to filling
out your little college forms.

Tell the family I say hi.

I'll see you guys at Thanksgiving.

Okay. All right.

See? I told you I'd hook you up.

Thank you, Frankie.

This is gonna wipe the coleslaw incident

right off the front page
of the Schotz-Plotz newsletter.

(knocking on door)

Ernie? What are you doing here?

What I should have done years ago.

My whole life, I've been
focusing on becoming doctor.

But after seeing how amazing
Bernie's life is here,

I realized this is what
I should be doing.

So, I'm giving up medicine.

BERNIE & FRANKIE: What?

Let me finish.

To become a full-time
internet video-maker.

Like we said...

BERNIE & FRANKIE: What?

- This is bad.
- So bad.

Ernie is giving up his life.

The world has just lost
a brilliant future doctor.

Huh? No, I'm talking
about him becoming a Vuuugler,

moving in here, and cramping my style.

It's just gonna be another
thing he's better at than me.

Is that seriously
what you're focusing on?

What about the whole doctor thing?

What doctor thing?

Have you even seen Ernie's channel?

He gave up a future of saving lives

to make videos where he spoils
the ends of movies.

It's called "Ernie Calls the Plotz."

Wait! His channel is
"Ernie Calls the Plotz"?

That's the worst name I've ever heard.

You think "Ernie Calls
the Plotz" is a bad name,

when your channel is
"Bernie Calls the Schotz"?

Why, what's weird about that?

It's basically the same name!

I'm not hearing what you're hearing.

Whatever, it's awful.

He does spoiler alerts
without the alerts.

Watch.

So in the end, it turns out

the bad guy is the good guy's dad.

And they're all ghosts!

I just saved you fifteen bucks.
You're welcome.

Why are you laughing?

Because it's so bad!

Ernie stinks at making videos.

Finally, Bernie Schotz
is the cool one in the family!

Bernie, you don't understand.

My dad is a doctor.

I couldn't live with myself
if something I did

stripped the world
of a brilliant medical mind!

Frankie, you're talking
about future problems.

So we lost a doctor, who cares?

Name one country that doesn't
have enough doctors.

- Uhh...
- Exactly, you can't.

I'm talking about something
much bigger than saving lives.

I'm the cool one in the family now!

His video already has two million views.

We need to make Ernie
want to be a doctor again.

I'm so excited we're doing this.

We are going to crush any and all
opponents who cross our paths.

Oh, um, Amelia, there are no opponents.

We're competing against ourselves

to get out of here in under an hour.

Oh. Well then, I better watch out,

'cause I'm coming for me.

I'm just happy Grandma believed us

when we said we were going to get froyo.

Yeah, I knew if we mentioned
froyo, she'd bail.

She calls it sad ice cream for babies.

Now if I told her we were taking
ice cream from sad babies,

she definitely would have been in.

(horn blares)

Oh, that's the starting horn!

The clock started. Let's go.

(locks clicks shut)

All right, girls, we're locked in.

Man, you never have to pee
until they tell you

you're locked in a room for an hour.

We have to find
the three hidden pyramids.

The last one has the key
that opens the door.

By chance do any of the pyramids

have the key
that opens the bathroom door?

Paige, you found a pyramid!

It was under Queen Nefertiti!

Yaaas Queen!

Nefertiti.

(eerie music playing)

It's way too creepy.

Yeah, I'm not going in there.

BOTH: Willow!

Relax, ladies,
I ain't scared of nothin'.

(cracks knuckles)

Willow! You found the next pyramid.

Yep. And something even better.

It's TV's Lou Scoopmaker!

Lou Scoopmaker out...
Lou Scoopmaker out...

Is he okay?

Um, don't worry, Lou.

We're gonna escape this room
and then we'll get you home.

I am home.

Lou Scoopmaker lives here now.

And now over to Cleopatra with traffic.

Okay, the fake blood is ready.

I'll just pretend to cut my thumb,

and it'll gush out of this tube.

Okay, great. And then
Ernie will "save you"

and remember how much
he loves helping people.

He'll want to be a doctor again,

you'll pay for my meal,
and our problem's solved.

I didn't agree to that last...

Shh, he's coming!

Hey guys, thanks for the lunch invite.

Before I spoil the end
of Dinosaur Galaxy ,

I gotta put some food in my belly.

Just like those dinosaurs did.

They eat everybody in the galaxy.

Speaking of free rolls,

Frankie, would you like some?

Yes. Just gonna use
this newly sharpened Kn*fe

to put some...

Oh! Ah! Oh!

Oh, I cut my thumb. Ernie, help!

It's bleeding! It's bleeding!

One second. Bernie!

Stupid tube isn't working!

Um...

I got an idea. Just keep screaming.

- Ohhh!
- Oh, yeah.

Oh, that thumb is definitely bleeding.

It's gross, cover your eyes!

Oh, man.

Ahh!

Okay, you can look now.

Man, we could use your help here, Ernie!

This is one of the most gruesome
thumb injuries I've ever seen!

Uh, that is a lot of blood.

The pain is relentless!

Look at all the relentlessness!

She's relenting everywhere.

Do something, Ernie.

Okay, I'll just... (gagging)

Uh, maybe someone else can... (gagging)

Ernie, please!
This is a medical emergency!

You're the only one with
the expertise to help her!

I can't, okay?

I don't know anything about medicine!

I don't work for a top surgeon.

I wasn't first in my high school class,

I was last.

I lied about... (gagging)

everything!

(door bell jingles)

Wow, I can't believe that just happened.

You gonna eat those rolls?

Hey, Ernie. What happened back there?

This seems like a family thing,
so I'm gonna head inside.

And figure out why this fake
blood thingy didn't work.

Hey, what happened back there is...

my life isn't anything
like you think it is.

What do you mean?

I was never class valedictorian.

Okay? I wasn't
a presidential honors student.

And I never saved a guy's life
using CPR at a little league game.

But you showed me that news article.

It looked so real.

Yeah, it's 'cause I used
a photo-editing app.

Okay. I paid a guy
to use a photo-editing app.

I don't know how to photo-edit!

Oh, duh. The tube is clogged.

This ought to fix it.

Uh-oh.

Dude, I had no idea.

I'm just an average guy, you know?

Who lives with his grandma.

In our basement.

I even pretend to lift heavy weights

so people don't think I'm weak.

Wow, Ernie. That's just sad.

Hey, Ernie, I know you're feeling down,

but look on the bright side.

Your channel's getting tons of views.

They're all me.

My life is basically clicking refresh.

It's been so hard keeping this
charade going all these years.

And the saddest part is, I
just did this to impress you.

Me? Why would you want to impress me?

So you'd think I was cooler than I am.

But I guess you wouldn't
understand what that's like.

No, Ernie, actually, I do understand.

I'm slightly less famous and popular

than I led you to believe.

Seriously?

Aw man, that is deep.

I just wanna sit here
for a second and take that in.

Okay, I'm ready to talk again.

Straight up?

My friends in the Vuuugle house

made me look cooler than I actually am.

See, that's what I'm talking about.

What do you mean?

Bernie, I'm not jealous of you
because of your fame and success.

I'm jealous because of the
close friends that you have.

They really seem to
love you for you, man.

Flaws and all.

I don't have anyone like that.

Well, you do now. Me.

You mean that?

Of course, man. What are cousins for?

Hey, wanna go inside and hang out
like friends who are cousins?

BOTH: Frousins!

(both scream)

I fixed the tube.

We only have ten minutes left.

The only way we're gonna finish this

is if we maintain laser focus.

Ooh, "Egyptian Beauty Secrets"?

This seems important.

The final pyramid!

(gasps)

ALL: We did it! We did it!

LOU: Nice job, ladies.

Lou Scoopmaker out.

Yes!

First ones to escape.

- That's what I'm talking about.
- Whoo!

Oops.

Yeah. Oops.

Grandma, uh, what are you doing here?

Well, since I thought we were gonna
do this escape room together,

I came here to practice
to get good at it

so I wouldn't let you down.

I didn't know I was gonna be
the one who was let down.

By you, in case that wasn't clear.

Yeah, we got that.

Grandma, we are so sorry
for lying to you.

And we're sorry
for coming here without you.

But we're most sorry...

that you found out.

What can we do to make it up to you?

Well...

Grandma, we know where
the hidden pyramids are.

We could give you hints.

I don't need your hints.
I have a system.

Nope, no pyramid in there.

Thanks for a great visit, Bern-man.

You got it, Ern-man.

Coo-coo.

Tight.

Yeah.

That was horrifying.

Hey Ernie, what are you gonna
do when you get back home?

Oh actually, Bernie convinced
me to give acting a try.

Oh! Acting? Really?

Yeah, well. You know, acting is
pretending to be someone you're not.

And that's basically lying, right?

So why not try it?

Who knows? I might get my own TV show

and become rich and famous.

Sure, cuz. Sure.

Safe travels, Ern-Man

Okay.

Okay, I wish the kid all the best,

but what are the odds
that that works out?

Seriously. Acting is a long road

paved with regret and failure.

I kinda feel bad for him,

but I guess he'll just
have to learn the hard way.

Maybe I should get used to being

the most impressive cousin
in my family after all.

ANNOUNCER: Coming soon,
television's got a new doctor.

He's a genius. He's charming.

He's...

a teenager?

This fall, the doctor is in...

high school!

ANNOUNCER: Ernie Plotz is...
The Real Doctor.

Nooo!
