02x27 - Would You Wrather Move?

[bunniefuu]

Hey, Charlotte, you excited for Thursday?


Yes, are you coming?


I wouldn't miss it for the world.


(both squealing)


Superintendent Bonavich said my speech


will be the centerpiece
of the entire event.


Speech? I was talking about
soft pretzel Thursday


down at the rink.


Uh, no.


The state is giving our school
the Silver Poseidon award


for raising a record amount of money


for clean oceans and lakes.


Oh, put me down as a hard maybe.


It's so unfair.


Principal Walker started
Environmental Club


and now he's not even gonna get credit


because he got fired.


Superintendent Bonavich is the worst.


They should call him
Superintendent Bad-at-his-job-avich.


-Are you proud of that?
-No.


So is Mom back from her
lunch date with Walker?


Not yet.


What if he doesn't propose again?


Yeah, what if getting fired
freaked him out so much


he's rethinking everything?


What if he forgets
to validate parking at the restaurant?


That French place charges
$ without a stamp.


Nine dollars, Cooper!


Everyone take a breath.


Walker probably didn't want to propose


right after losing his job.


But it's been a whole day
and he's taking Mom out again.


It's happening.


(sing-song) Hey, Mom, how was lunch?


(sing-song) You guys have a good time?


(sing-song) Yeah, anything
you want to share?


Just my desire for you guys
to stop talking like that!


Look, I know you're
concerned about Lancely


but he's gonna be fine.


Losing a job is just something
that happens in life.


He'll bounce back.


That's two days and Walker
still hasn't asked her.


We're the one who got him
fired. We need to fix this.


Are you sure we should get involved?


Last time didn't end up so well.


Guys.


Are we doing the space alien
Would You Wrather today or not?


We're not.


Eh, just as well. I have karate anyway.


Wait, I can't go to karate like this.


I'd look like an idiot.


Much better. Laters.


(theme song playing)


Would you rather lose your phone


Or give up pizza for a month?


Share your diary with the world


Or have to eat it for your lunch?


Sing out of tune to your friends


Or trip and fall into your crush?


Shave your head, paint it red


Or use your dog's toothbrush?


We need a little Q and A


Come on, Wratherheads, play along


Would you rather do this?


Would you rather do this?


Would you rather do that?


Would you rather do that?


Don't matter what we do


We're doing it with you


I'd rather do that


Ask the world


Would you rather do this?


Would you rather do this?


Or would you rather just dance?


Or would you rather just dance?


No matter what we do


We're doing it with you


I'd rather do that


Ask the world!


Would you rather do that?


I can't believe this guy
is our new acting principal.


Yeah, Mr. Bonavich.


More like Mr. Bowl of Fish.


Just stop.


I miss Walker. When he was here,


he'd start our morning
hall monitor meetings


by putting out a lovely
basket of breakfast breads.


That sounds nice.


It was. I'd put my feet
on his desk and ask him


"What's the -, Cappy?"


And then he'd say,
"Why aren't your shoes on?


"I don't want to eat my
breakfast staring at your toes.


I'm gonna vomit."


Ah, the good old days.


Let's just tell the guy
it was all our fault


and ask for Walker's job back.


(sighs)


-(Bonavich) Two!
-Mr. Bonavich?


(high-pitched) Forty-eight,
forty-nine, fifty. (laughs) Whoo!


Fred, there are people in my office.


Yeah, Mr. Bonavich, we are--


Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I know exactly who you are.


Cooper and Cami Wrather.


-Do you know who I am?
-A cartoon mouse?


I am the boss around here.


Yeah, about that. We came to confess.


Principal Walker
shouldn't have been fired.


It's our fault.


We knocked over a helium t*nk.


So he wasn't purposely imitating


your incredibly creepy high voice.


Cami, you talk.


So you came in here to take the fall


to save Walker?


(laughs) Not happening.


Principal Walker is great at his job.


Eh, he was mediocre at best.


Cooper, hold me back.


Ow, you scratched me.


All right, if there's nothing else,
I need to get back to important things.


Like practicing what smile to use


when the press is here to cover
the Silver Poseidon award ceremony.


I'm thinking the Joe Jonas.


Hm.


-This is so wrong.
-Yeah, you're right.


I should go with the Kevin Jonas.


Hm!


Mom, Ollie, I need your help.


I don't know how to light my farts.


Ask someone else.


Mom, I need your help.


As president of the Environmental Club,


I'm in charge of giving
the acceptance speech


for the Silver Poseidon award.


A live news crew will be there.

I was on TV once. Just be yourself.


You weren't on TV.
You were caught on camera


doing something unmentionable
in the community pool.


I still get recognized.


Guys, please, I need
your feedback on my speech.


But before I do that, you may need these.


I think you'll find it to be
quite the tearjerker.


Oh, boy, this is exciting.


For who?


The ocean, Neptune's mighty palace.


Once a shiny beacon of hope,


now a cesspool of plastic and despair.


What's that, Mr. Shell?


I can't hear you. Are you weeping?


I am.


-Shh.
-(groans)


(imitates whale call)


Yes, Mr. Whale, we've heard
your cries for help


and I sound the alarm.


(low note)


And then on that note,
I signal the giant whale


we built for the celebration


and confetti sh**t out of the blowhole.


-And then after that--
-The speech is over?


No, I have my four-part conclusion.


Part one, the dolphins rejoice at--


Oh, for the love of Moses, make it stop.


Mom, what are you trying to say?
Is my speech bad?


Yes and no.


Except not no. Yes.


(air hisses)


-Hey, you got a sec?
-Hey, guys.


-How's the new principal?
-Total goober.


And the basket of breakfast breads?


Look, what is going on with Mom?


Why haven't you proposed to her?


I tried, but every time I'd ask, I stop.


I'm afraid of what the answer may be.


Why?


Because you lost your job?
Mom doesn't care about that.


She cares about you.


Plus, you're an amazing principal.


You'll find another job soon anyway.


What's he gonna do, be a -year-old man


making balloon animals?


It's over, Cooper. Stick a fork in him.


You ever heard of a pep talk, buddy?


You guys are right.


What am I doing?


Asking your mom to marry me


is the only thing I should
care about right now.


There you go.


I just hope I don't lose my nerve.


Maybe we can help.


How? If we give him money once,
he'll just keep coming back.


Mom, thanks for helping us out
with our Would You Wrather today.


Oh, not a problem. I get that the kids


need a little side of J-funk
from time to time, what-what!


Nice moves. (chuckles)


-You're not streaming, are you?
-Thank goodness, no.


Okay, Mom.


Here's the question
that's for you and only you.


Would you rather let Ollie
put on underwear


made from poison ivy.


What's one more rash?


Or let Fred give Charlotte a haircut?


Someone's getting a mohawk.


(razor buzzing)


I'm not choosing either of those.


What kind of mom do you think I am?


The best mom ever.


Which is why for the first time ever


we're giving a third option.


The Would You Wrather mystery curtain.


Just know if you pick
what's behind the curtain,


there's no going back.


All right, I guess I'll take the curtain.


but I'd better not get
sprayed with a snot cannon


or a fart cannon or a...


-Hey, cuddle bunny.
-Hi.


-What's going on?
-Jenna.


Because of you, these past two years


have been my happiest ever.


I love you.


I love your four children.


And Fred!


And Fred.


You are my entire world


and I want us to share our lives together.


Will you marry me?


Yes, Lancely. Of course I will.


(cheering and applauding)


Release the balloon animals.


(all laughing)


(razor buzzes)


Whoops, finger spasm.


-Did you just--
-Nope, it's fine.


(squealing)


I don't know, Mom.
Maybe next year, we're not sure.


No, we won't seat you next to the DJ.


Okay, tell me when she stops talking.


Thank you guys for making it so special.


You got it, big guy.


So let's talk honeymoon.


Keep in mind, I find waterfalls tacky.


-(phone ringing)
-Okay.


Oh, it's that job recruiter guy.
I'll get it later.


No, no, go ahead and take it.
We're not fancy.


But you're gonna be.


I've got plenty of thoughts
for this wedding.


Fred, let Mom just enjoy the--


Cami, stay in your lane.

I wanna talk menu.
You're gonna wanna go big.


Will that bite into
Charlotte's college fund?


Absolutely. Do I care? No.


No, Grandma, I don't want to
say hi to your friend Myrtle.


No, no, no, hi, Myrtle.


Lancely, what is it?


I got a job offer.


What? That's amazing.


Now we have two things to celebrate.


It's in Texas.


Okay, I'll call you later, sweetie.


Look, this job in Texas
is a great opportunity


but Lancely and I would
never think of moving


without everyone's full support.


So this is Texas. Like, Texas Texas?


Not Texas Street or Texas Avenue?


Texas Texas.


Had to ask. Been down that road.


Anyway, I want to hear
what you guys think.


Although I'm pretty sure
I know where Ollie stands.


(Texas accent) I reckon we head south
if for no other reason


than we get to say the word "reckon."


-But our whole lives are here.
-And Dixon.


Oh, are we worried about Dixon?
Is Dixon gonna be lonely?


What about Fred?


Mom, what do you want to do?


I just want to do
what's best for the family.


And that includes Lancely now.


I think we can all come up
with a bunch of reasons


to be against this, but...


also one big reason to be for it.


If it makes you happy.


Well, this will be a huge decision


so we're gonna take our time, but...


I guess we can say
we're kind of actually considering it.


All right then. Now off to the outhouse.


What do you suppose he means by that?


Sweet Moses, my tool shed.


Guys, please tell me you aren't
actually thinking about moving.


We don't want to but we're
the reason Walker got fired.


How can we stand in the way
of the new job?


Even if it means no Dixon.


Forget Dixon.
How will I explain to my family


we're moving to Texas?


Guys, no one is moving.


Yes, don't care what the plan is.
We're doing it.


Oh, I got a plan.


We asked for Walker's job back
and that didn't work.


So now, we're gonna take it back.


Awesome, how?


There will be no follow-up
questions at this time.


Mighty fine, eggs, ma'am. Mighty fine.


Okay, people, listen up.


Thanks to your cold, harsh words,


I have reworked my speech.


And you want Ollie to listen to it.


-Good plan, good plan.
-Sit.


I've made it a tight five,


but let me know if it still feels long.


(clears throat)


Ladies and gentlemen, the ocean is...


and hopefully, the work we've done today


will make it a better world


for future generations tomorrow.


These are not tears of boredom.
That was amazing.


Clean water depends on all of us.


I will never go potty in a pool again.


Look at you, sweetie.


You're already making a difference.


-Are you sure they'll let us talk?
-Yes.


These school board meetings
are open to anyone.


We just need to make our case
why they should go over


Bonavich's head and rehire Walker.


And we've got student signatures


on this petition to bring him back.


Between that and the -minute
tribute song Fred and I wrote,


they'll have to give Walker his job back.


Ten-minute what now?


How you doing, board members?


Yes, yes, give it up,
you Silver Poseidon winners!


(laughs) Yeah.


High fives all around.
We did it, you guys.


We did it.


We did it? He's been here two days.


Super pumped to get the award.


Now the local press is covering it,
so work on those poses. Ooh!


I call this one the pollution pout.


A-hm!


Excuse me, since we're talking
about the award,


I'd like to talk about the person
who actually played a big role in that.


-Principal Walker--
-Ah, ah, ah, Miss Wrather,


as superintendent, I set the agenda,


and we are not talking about


former principal Walker right now.


You might not want to talk about him.


But you're gonna hear
two boys sing about him.


Principal Walker,
he loves Sloppy Joes


Why'd they kick us out?


I don't know, you guys were awesome.


Can I see your cane?


Why is there a swinging door here?


Ask the guy whittling a carrot.


Looks like rain's a-coming.

Cows gonna appreciate that, I reckon.


Can someone switch him back?


How'd it go at the board meeting?


They kicked us out.


Fred and I still have eight unheard verses


of "The Ballad of Lancely W."


Not to mention my breakdancing solo.


Well, at least I got to see it.


Wait, Bonavich said the local news
will be at the award ceremony.


Yeah, they're covering my speech.


Well, that's how we can
get our message out.


We stage a protest.
Okay, we get all the kids


who signed the petition to come down
and when we give the signal,


everyone stands up and demands justice.


That sounds like a great idea.


Uh, no, it doesn't.


I don't think Walker should
have been fired, either,


but tomorrow is about
getting my message out about clean water.


But that's our only way
to keep Walker in Minnesota.


Otherwise, we pack our bags.


This all sounds like a bunch
of city slicker mumbo-jumbo.


Okay, that was adorable.
I like cowboy Ollie now.


Look, guys, I want to help Walker too,


but all of my work
for the Environmental Club


has been leading up to this night,


Please think of another way.


-I guess.
-We'll try.


Of course.


-I got nothing.
-We tried.


Sorry, Charlotte.


All right. The students have been notified


and are ready to protest on your signal.


Great, so when the TV cameras are running,


I'll walk out, grab the microphone--


Think again!


-We weren't doing anything.
-And you'll never


get the chance to,


because you're all suspended
from school grounds


until Monday morning.


Just keep an eye out
for those three delinquents.


We don't need them messing up
this event on my watch.


Hello, welcome, come on in. Heh!


Perfect, right there.


When we get to the big finale,
I'll cue Billy,


dressed as Poseidon,
who will hit the button


and confetti will
sh**t out of the blowhole.


This is going to be a great day.


I've snuck into a lot of places,


but never wedged inside of a whale.


Oh, it's warm. Do you think there's AC?


Yeah, yeah, want me to set it
to frosty or super frosty?


-Ooh, how about--
-There's no AC.


We're in a whale.


Besides, we'll be out soon.


When the ceremony starts,
we'll pop the hatch


-and take this thing over.
-Got it.


-How do we pop the hatch?
-Like this.


-Are you kidding me?
-Wait, so we're stuck in here?


I got this.


Cami to Fred, over.


Cami to Papa Bear.


(Fred over radio) Go for Papa Bear, over.


Fred, we need you to get us out of this
whale. We're trapped.


Fred: Don't worry, I won't let you down.


We know you can do this, buddy.


Yep, we're gonna die.


Fred: You gotta let go of the button.


We believe in you!


-Mr. Bonavich.
-Hi, good to see you.


Please, sit anywhere.


Except the seats designated
for current faculty.


Oh, there's Charlotte. Good luck.


My daughter built that giant whale.


She's a little intense.


-Oh, hi!
-(taps microphone)


North Plains Day! Hello!


(chuckles) Today, we welcome


the state school board,


who's going to give us
a much-deserved award.


But first, the school woodwind quartet


will wow us with the
North Plains fight song


guest starring a surprise flutist.


Surprise!


(upbeat woodwind music)


Billy, good, you're here.


Billy's sitting this one out.


-Fred, what are you doing here?
-Being the hero, per "ush."


Papa Bear to Goldilocks.
That's you, Cooper. I'm in.


So you guys are really
going through with this?


Yeah, everyone is waiting for the signal.


I just need to let Coop and Cami
out of that whale.


They're inside my whale?


Uh-oh, I've been compromised.


Charlotte, you have to help them.


I can't survive in Texas!


Spicy food goes right through me.


Oh, man, Fred's been caught.


Why am I Goldilocks?


Who cares?


We'll have to get out on our own
and start the protest.


How? The handle's broken.


FYI, I really don't like small spaces.


Oh, you don't? I find them kind of cozy.


Aw, you do? That's nice.


Get us out of here!


(grunts)


(applause)


Thank you! Thank you so much!

(laughs)


Conner, you were flat.


Okay, it is now time to hear


from our Environmental Club's president,


Miss Charlotte Wrather.


Today is a very important day.


A lot of people have worked very hard


to make this school
stand for something good.


Which is why I am...


...which is why I am going to
hand the mic over to my sister.


Wait, no, no, no!


What's going on?
Why is she in the blowhole?


Thanks, Charlotte.


Ladies and gentleman, yes,
I am stuck in a blowhole,


but I won't be silenced.


-Coop: Get me out!
-Cooper, silence.


I have a message for the school board.


Our principal, Mr. Walker, a good man


who made this school what it is
was fired for no reason,


and we demand him back.
Stand up if you're with me.


Again, I would, but the blowhole thingy.


Wait, no, no, no.
Do not listen to this girl.


Everyone remain seated.


(stammers) Conner, you kiddin' me?


Who fought for band uniforms?


Who fought for healthier lunch options?


Who started the Environmental Club?


Walker, Walker.


(chanting) Walker, Walker, Walker.


(stammers) Stop your chanting.


Stop it!


We'll stop once you give
Walker his job back.


-Never.
-Then we stay here till you do.


(all) Walker, Walker, Walker!


Bonavich, the board doesn't need
this bad publicity.


-Make it go away.
-Yeah, but he made fun of my...


All right, fine. He can have his job back.


(cheers and applause)


(grunts)


Oh, fresh air.


Oh, what'd I miss?


Charlotte, I am so happy
you were finally able


to give your speech.
You had the whole room crying.


You really feel close to an animal


after you come out of its butt.


I can't wait to watch it all again
on the news when I get home.


Oh, you can't stay a little longer?


No, tomorrow's a work day.


Somebody's gotta buy
the morning meeting bread baskets.


We saved your job.
Don't skimp on the bear claws.


I want to thank you kids
for having my back.


-Hm. It really means a lot.
-(whispers) Bye.


Not a problem. And thank you


for officially shortening the school week.


-Shortening the what?
-Oh, don't you worry.


It's all on the petition in legal writing.


-Bye now.
-Uh--


Ollie, what are you doing, buddy?


I'm officially handing in my badge.


Oh, because we're no longer
moving to Texas?


No, because it fell in the toilet.


(with accent) Night, little lady.


(Charlotte imitating whale call)
