ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Just Roll With It!
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
Hey, Just Roll With It!
[BELL RINGS]
[CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]
Ohh!
Welcome to Just Roll With It!
When you hear this sound...
[HORN BLOWS]
you get to vote on what the crew does to us in scenes.
BYRON: Yes, yes.
Speaking of the crew, we want to introduce you to our favorite stagehand,
Mike! Yeah!
Mike, we just wanna say, you've been doing a really great job with...
Yeah!
Whoo!
OWEN: Yeah!
BLAIR: Yes!
Finally, we got one on them!
When Mike gets us messy, we're gonna have to...
ALL: Just Roll With It!
BYRON: Let's start the show!
Okay, everyone, family game night.
Who's ready to play Strategic Financial Acquisitions?
[BOTH GROAN]
Fine. How about enjoying some of my famous homemade almond brittle?
You know who else is gonna be famous?
Me, after I audition for the school play tomorrow.
Since I've already conquered the fields of academics and athletics,
I might as well expand my brand into the theater.
Ow!
Uh-oh, that sounds bad. I'm gonna call the dentist.
No!
I mean, let's play one of your boring games!
[HORN BLOWS]
[SCREAMS]
ANNOUNCER: Okay, audience, you see your choices one, two or three.
You guys vote on what game the family plays.
Well, I'm pretty sure we're gonna have to play a crazy game.
ANNOUNCER: Okay that's it. Votes are in.
We will restart the scene with you saying:
"Let's play one your boring games" and then read your next line off the card.
ANNOUNCER: And let's go back to the scene.
DIRECTOR: Action!
I mean, let's play one of your boring games!
Like, "Over The Head Gross Cup Catch".
Uh... Ha, ha!
"In this game, we'll all grab a cup and stand in a line.
The person at the front of the line, me, will have to fill their cup
with liquid and pass it over their head into the cup of the person behind them.
The last person in line pours their cup
over their head and into the empty cylinder.
Oh my gosh.
-This smells terrible! -Oh, it smells like the zoo!
Oh, man.
-Ready? -Yes.
All right, scoot up. Scoot up, Owen! Scoot up!
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
Why does it have to be chunky? This is heavy.
Where did we get this game from Toys R Gross?
-Okay, get ready to catch it! -Yeah. Come on! Come on!
-You got it. You got it. -Ohh!
-You just do-- Ugh! -That was sudden!
It's on my hand.
Oh, my...
Ohh! Ooh.
All right. You got this, baby! Yes, yes! Yes, yes.
Oh! Too much! Too fast! Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!
-It stink. -Oh, that stinks.
It stinks so bad.
BYRON: I'm done.
-That's our... -That's our game.
That's our game.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
Yeah, that's enough of that game.
Next week we will play Strategic Financial Acquisitions.
-Yeah, okay. BYRON: Please.
-Ow! RACHEL: Uh-oh.
That tooth sounds real bad.
-We gotta get it fixed tomorrow. -No!
Blair, we go through this every check-up.
I know you're scared, but how do I put this?
I don't care.
Listen, young Blair.
Dentists are nothing to be scared of.
-You think so? -You should go to our dentist.
He's done great things for my moneymaker.
That's what we call smiles in the biz.
Our dentist's office is the most magical place on Earth.
He has a TV in the ceiling, and he's got all those fancy,
big city channels your mom is too cheap to pay for!
I'm a terrible person.
I'm putting money away for your college funds.
Mom, we both know that Owen is the only one going to college.
See? Let's get some extra channels around here!
First of all, Blair, you're going to college.
Second of all, Blair, you're going to the dentist.
-Will you go with me? -Of course and if we go on Wednesday,
I can catch the season finale of Angry Malibu Dinner Ladies.
Yes!
So this semester we're going to be performing a play that
I wrote, a Penworth original, heh, heh, The Littlest Cheetah. Rowr.
It's a heart-warming tale of a little cheetah who learned
to stand up to his mean stinkbug stepfather by leaving the den
and becoming a well-respected teacher, I mean Penworth,
I mean cheetah!
Anyway, let the auditions begin.
Dazzle me!
Ruth! You're just in time to watch me crush my audition.
-Owen, I'm freaked out! -What's wrong?
I was just talking to Stephen, and I caught it.
Caught what?
Stage fright! I caught the stage fright, Owen!
I knew I shouldn't have shared a sandwich with him!
Let's talk it out. Now what are you afraid of?
-I could forget my lines. -Doubtful.
-Mess up the dance. -Improbable.
-Sing out of key. -I hadn't considered that.
Not only would you not get the part, you'd also be humiliated in front of everyone.
Then you can't show your face at school. You become a total shut-in.
You're forced to order delivery but you're too embarrassed to answer the door,
so the Chinese food stacks up outside and a huge family of raccoons shows up,
now they're all amped up on week-old spring rolls,
and you have to defend your home using a trash can lid and a pair of chopsticks!
Actually, now that I hear it out loud, it sounds kinda silly.
Wow, my stage fright just cleared up! Guess all I had to do was talk it through.
Ruth, I think I caught it. I caught the stage fright!
You have to take it back. Here, let me breathe on you.
You're up, O-town.
Hello, my name is Owen.
Hi, Owen!
I see you're auditioning for the lead.
Are you ready?
Hello, my name is Owen.
Not a great start.
And music please.
Right. The song.
[PIANO PLAYING CHORDS]
[OFF TUNE] ♪ Ever since I was a cub ♪
Let me try that again.
♪ Ever since I was a cub ♪
♪ Staring at the stars above ♪
♪ I had a dream to, to, sing-- ♪
Enough! Enough!
Oh, you poor thing,
trying to do so much with so little talent.
So I'm not gonna be the Littlest Cheetah?
Absolutely not.
And you owe the school seventy dollars for that drum.
Next!
[CHEERING]
It smelled horrible!
Now see, that wasn't so bad.
Not so bad?
You heard the dentist. I have a cavity.
And you didn't tell me his name is Dr. Payne.
It's a really unfortunate name. Can't be good for business.
But, Blair, you have to calm down. There's nothing to be afraid of.
The dentist is your friend.
But, if you want, I can hold your hand.
-Does that sound good? -Mm-hm.
Oh, Byron. While I was getting my tools, I scanned your files.
Looks like you haven't been in for a check-up in five years.
Hey, no worries though, I can do a quick exam right now.
Nuh-uh, no way!
-Byron, it's no big deal. -Ahh!
You're not taking me alive!
Byron, you're scared of the dentist too?
Now you be quiet. This is between me and the monster.
-Now, uh-- No! -Hey!
Okay, I gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay.
[WHIMPERING]
Okay, okay. Now let's just have a look.
-Do you want me to hold your hand? -Mm-hm.
-Okay. -Go ahead.
You're wasting your time, but nothing even-- Ahh!
No wonder you're called Dr. Payne!
It's a really unfortunate name and bad for business.
Anyway, it looks like you have two cavities.
We better take care of those.
I see you're frightened.
I think I have something that might help.
Okay, new plan.
You're scared and I'm scared. Let's blow this house of horrors.
No, Blair, we told Rachel we would do this, and we have to see it through.
Or, we are on the first floor.
We could go out the window.
-[DRILL WHIRRING] -We're going out the window.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
-Hurry up! Hurry up! -Ahh!
Tuck and roll! Tuck and roll!
Did I hear that someone here is afraid of the dentist?
I gotta start locking that window.
And action!
This is the moment I've been dreading all my life.
But how do I...
How do I... Uh...
How do I tell my mean stinkbug stepfather
that I don't want to go out for the football team?
How do I tell my mean stinkbug stepfather that I...
-Line? -Cut! Ugh.
Ruth, how can you forget your lines?
I'm sorry! It's just the first rehearsal!
[MOCKING IN GIBBERISH]
Forgive me. Heh, heh.
Everybody take five.
Thanks for the save back there.
How'd you know my lines?
I know everyone's lines.
You know me, if a teacher gives me something, I'm gonna memorize it.
And you'd think it would help with my stage fright, but it hasn't.
What are you afraid of? You don't have any lines.
But what if I forget I don't have lines and say all these lines I've memorized?
Then what, Ruth? Then what?
Okay, Owen, calm down. I'm gonna go get the school nurse again.
All right, ducking that quack was a good first step.
Now all we have to do is avoid Mom for the rest of our lives.
We can't do that, Blair.
She has all my money and I wasn't made for the streets.
Look, I've thought it out.
We'll go on the lam and adopt new identities.
Blair, there was something about leaping from the dentist's window
and peeling out of the parking lot that made me feel like a bad parent.
I can't let you avoid the dentist.
But I have a solution that I think will work for everyone.
-Do you trust me? -I trust you.
Blair ran away from the dentist!
You snitch!
-Hold on. Blair, you went A.W.O.L.? -She found out she--
[HORN BLOWS]
ANNOUNCER: Okay, audience, you decide who is the mystery radio guest.
RACHEL: It's right after I said, "you went A.W.O.L."
So, it might be them trying to say their excuses of what happened?
ANNOUNCER: Votes are in.
The scene starts with you saying, "Hold on, Blair, you went A.W.O.L.?"
Then, you will read a new line from your phone.
ANNOUNCER: Now back to the scene.
DIRECTOR: Action!
Hold on. Blair, you went A.W.O.L.?
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
"Hold on.
We'll talk about this in a second.
I just got a text from the scientist...
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
I got a text from the scientist you were supposed to interview on your show today.
She can't make it.
Luckily, she sent me the questions for the segment,
so I'll pretend to be her while you interview me on air.
The questions are on the note cards on your desk."
-Okay, great. -All right.
So today we have with us a world famous scientist.
-Tell us your name." -Rachel Science Lady.
-My name is Rachel Science Lady. BYRON: All right.
It's so great to have you here.
What's your greatest scientific achievement?"
I was, actually, the first person
to hypothesize the famous scientific theory,
Whoever Smelt It, Dealt It.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
-Nice. I use that all the time! -That was me.
"Uh, but I also hear you have a new experiment
that you've been working on. Show us how it works."
Because...
Oh! This must be my experiment here.
Just say, "ah-ha" a lot and people will think you're legit.
-Oh yeah. -Just, "ah-ha"!
BYRON: Now, let us know how it works.
I hope my colleagues left some very detailed instructions for me.
Because this looks like this could be dangerous.
All right. So, what we're gonna do first is mix one into two.
This is easy.
Yes, science is very easy.
[BYRON & BLAIR SCREAMS]
BYRON: Whoo!
That was amazing! Yes!
-Science! -Science, yes!
And that concludes our interview with Rachel Science Lady.
Thank you.
[CHEERING]
Now that that's over, Blair, what happened at the dentist?
She found out she had a cavity and got scared.
You need to take her back because I got, uh, a thing to do.
Yeah, his thing to do is two cavities.
Hang on. Byron you have cavities too?
Are you also afraid of the dentist?
No! Maybe like-- Yeah.
All right, huddle up soldiers.
A little fear can be a good thing.
But you can't let it control your life.
If you do, you're gonna miss out on so much.
Like having teeth in your fifties.
As always, Rachel's right.
That goes for you too, Scaredy Sloth. I heard about what happened at school.
You can't let your stage fright get the best of you.
Fine.
So annoying, feels like every week we gotta learn some kinda stupid lesson.
Look, I understand fear.
When I was deployed overseas,
there were times I'd be hunkered down in a foxhole,
explosions all around me, unable to tell where they were coming from.
And in those moments, I was scared.
So, I guess it's kinda the same thing as you getting the heebie-jeebies
because some square in a sweater wants to rub flavored fluoride
on your gums and then give you a free toothbrush.
Can you tell that I'm being sarcastic right now?
-Loud and clear. -We'll go to the dentist.
[CHEERING]
That was so much fun!
Aw, man, he put a padlock on that window.
What are we so scared of anyway?
Yeah, in the grand scheme of things, this is nothing.
Look, I have a solution that I think will work for everyone.
Do you trust me?
I trust you.
Not it! Drill him first.
What?
I am a dentist who respects the time-honored tradition of "not it".
Byron, let's get started.
[HORN BLOWS]
Ahh! I knew it! I knew it!
ANNOUNCER: Okay, this is the last vote.
What's the dentist going to do with Byron and Blair?
What if they put something on you that makes you numb?
-And then you can't talk. -I would love that!
We're in this together so it's gonna happen to me too.
We're gonna start the scene from Dr. Payne saying, "Now let's get started, Byron".
ANNOUNCER: And let's go back to the scene.
DIRECTOR: Action! -Byron, let's get started.
Before we do, let's just put this seatbelt on real quick.
Why?
Of course I'm gonna need a seatbelt.
I can't wait to put a seatbelt on.
Have a nice trip, Byron.
Let's just get started. I just need to adjust your chair.
Okay, great. Ahh! Ohh!
-Let's go! -Keep your head back.
Ahh! Whoo!
Let's ride, baby! Yeah!
-This can't be as bad as driving with Mom. -Wait?
PAYNE: I like to make my patients dizzy before I drill.
Ahh! Save me!
Ha, I switched it up. I got it now, baby. Let's go!
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
Ride 'em, cowboy. Show him who's boss!
Ride 'em, cavity! Ride 'em!
Well, now that we're all done with that, it's time for the fluoride.
Here we go!
[AUDIENCE GROANS]
There we go! Nice and clean!
Now for you, Byron.
I picked up this baby from a car wash.
It cleans your body and your teeth.
What is that?
You missing my mouth!
Now, we're done with that.
-Let's start drilling. -No.
Please, stop. Don't drill.
Now remember, no matter what happens tonight,
the only way the play is going to be a success is
if we keep a cool head and not overreact.
Mr. Penworth, I can't go on. I caught the stage fright again.
You're expelled! Get off my stage!
You know what, it's fine.
You've been pitchy in rehearsal anyway.
Luckily, there's someone else here that's show ready.
Someone who's been taking everything in from the sidelines
this whole time and can now step into the role of The Littlest Cheetah
on opening night and save the play!
Owen...
Please put my civilian clothes in my office!
Or Owen could be The Littlest Cheetah.
Look, I love Owen.
He's one of the only students who still reads my blog.
But I can't risk him ruining the most important night of my life!
You could go out there and perform, but you know,
there is a nasty case of stage fright going around.
Oh, there is?
And if you got it, it would be humiliating to make a fool of yourself
in front of all those people, teachers, the school board.
I even heard that your stepfather showed up.
Bruce is here?
Owen, I have decided to let you ruin my play!
Places, everyone!
How was the dentist, guys?
Well, after Byron tuckered himself out doing all that screaming
and crying and let Dr. Payne do his work, it wasn't so bad.
And the dentist also said that he's taking new clients,
-so I scheduled a cleaning for you. -Nuh-uh, no way.
-Rachel, are you afraid of--! -Shh! The play's about to start. Shh!
