03x23 - Too Much Pressure

Post by bunniefuu »

Oh, my goodness, Chels.

Pressure is my favorite singer.

If I can just get
a glimpse of him,

my life will be complete.

Well, this is the place, Rae.

My hairdresser's
sister's best friend's

cousin said that
this was the place

that pressure was gonna be
rehearsing for his new video.

Chels, your
hairdresser's sister's

best friend's cousin is me.

I told you that.

Oh. Right. Yeah.

I don't care who you are.

No one gets near pressure

unless your name is on the list.

I'll see at dinner, grandma.

This might be
harder than I thought.

You two better not be
here to see pressure.

Pressure?

Who is this pressure
you speak of?

Rae? Huh?

I can't believe you forgot.

He's like your favorite singer.

Uh-uh-uh. Ok. Ok, you two.

Unless you're
taking a dance class

or waiting for someone
taking a dance class,

you better get
up on out of here.

Well, then we're
here for dance class.

No, you're not.

Because the only
class still open

is for boys 12 to 14.

So if I come here
with a 12-year-old boy

and sign him up for dance class,

then I can hang out and drool
over whoever happens to walk by?

No, but if you come back here

with a 12-year-old boy
and 150 bucks for class,

then you can hang out and drool
over whoever happens to walk by.

Man, Rae.

If only we knew a 12-year-old
boy with 150 bucks.

yep, that's me.

No, no, no. You
listen to me, Marty.

If you can't come over here

to install that
satellite dish today,

then don't bother about
coming over here at all.

Right.

Ok, then.

He's not coming over at all.

What?

But Mr. B, the big
game is tomorrow,

and the only way to see
the game is through satellite.

What's the point of
having all this cool stuff

if we can't even use it?

All right. That's it.

I'm calling back Marty,
and I'm gonna apologize.

Hey, hey, hey. Come on, guys.

Guys, guys, calm
down. Calm down.

Look, I'll tell you what.

I'll install the
satellite dish myself.

I mean, come on,
how hard can it be?

Uhh!

Cory, I don't need a phonebook.

I'm not gonna call
another installer.

Mr. B, these are
the instructions.

Excuse me.

Could you all keep
it down, please?

I am going into the Kitchen

to make a very important,

very personal phone call.

This call is so top secret

and potentially embarrassing,

that no one can
hear what I'm saying.

No, Greg, I will
not go out with you.

Why?

Because you can't dance, Greg.

I mean, hey, if you
would've taken dance lessons

when you were 12,
you wouldn't be faced

with such a long, lonely life.

I'll holler.

Cory Baxter.

Were you listening
to every word I said?

Yeah.

Good.

Raven, you were really
tough on that Greg guy.

Hey, hey, I am sorry
you had to hear that, Cory,

but this right here
is the real world.

A girl will drop a guy
like that if he can't dance.

Hey, I'm not worried.

You know, I got my
moves for the ladies.

Heh, you know.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Look at you. Ha ha ha ha.

You dance like Greg.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

What am I gonna do?

Well, there is this studio

you could take dance lessons at,

and there might be
a spot open for you.

Really? Mm-hmm.

You know, I don't want to
face a... a long, lonely life.

Oh, and, um, you're
gonna need 150 bucks.

Maybe lonely's not so bad.

Cory!

This is very important.

Now if it's about the money...

Which it is.

Well, then there's
only one thing to do.

Dad, Cory wants
to have a mature,

man-to-man
conversation with you.

Daddy, I can't dance.

Um, that's ok, son.
You're a good dancer.

No, I disagree.

Hmm. Dad, I need dance lessons.

Dance lessons.

Nuh-uh, uh-uh.

Now this is a very
good thing, dad.

Dancing gives a
young man confidence.

Exactly how much is his
confidence gonna cost me?

Uh... oh, dad.

You cannot put a
price on confidence.

But if you had to, it'd be $150.

Cash.

Ok, Cory, if you do this,

then you're gonna
have to promise

that you're gonna stick to it.

Not like the piano, or
the karate, or the tennis.

No, no. Dad... dad, I promise.

And you know what, dad?

I'll even take him down
there myself to sign him up.

Aw, thanks, Raven.

Oh, it's my
pressure... pleasure.



Ok, little man,
you in. Studio "a."

I'm there. Thanks again, Raven.

You're welcome. Oh, go get 'em.

Well, ha ha ha ha.

I guess now me
and my friend can,

you know, chill in the lobby.

Because that's what
we're allowed to do.

Oh, and say if someone famous

such as my homeboy pressure

should come by for rehearsal,

we can holler at him.

Right, because that's
what we're allowed to do.

All I know is if
you keep talking

while my stories are on,

I'm gonna toss you out

'cause that's what
I'm allowed to do.

Why you gotta be so mean?

Hi, are you madame blecch?

Blecch!

Accent on the "ecch."

And you are?

Uh, I'm Cory.

Cory.

Do you have any experience

with traditional yak
dance of creponia?

Yak dance?

Do the girls like that?

Creponian girls
would dive into yogurt

for good yak dancer.

Yogurt?

Ok. Let's get to yakking.

Ah, there are my dancers.

Come in, my little darlings.

Excuse me.

Hello, ladies. Heh heh.

Those are guys.

What were you expecting?

Girls to do the yak dance?

Girl, whispering: There he is.

Chels, Chels, don't look now,

but there's pressure.

Ok, ok!

All right, look,

everybody trying
out for the video, uh,

follow pressure to the studio.

Chels, Chels, Chels, Chels!

Let's go to the studio.

Ok, ok!

Chels, what are you doing?

Rae, you told me not to look.

Forget it, Chels.

Come on. Let's go
try out for the video.

And this time, keep
your eyes open.

Hey. How y'all doing?
How y'all doing?

Watch out. Rae...

I'm trying to keep my eyes open,

but I gotta blink really bad.

Chels, go ahead and blink.

Knock yourself out.

Ooh, snap.

Aah! Ooh.

Oh! Oh, oh, oh, sorry. Sorry.

Ok, ok. Ha ha.

Listen up, ladies.

Pressure.

Pressure's new video is
called gotta get you back.

Now I'm gonna show
y'all some of the moves.

It's real simple.

And I want y'all to show
me what you got, a'ight?

Here we go.

Uhh.



Spin. Sprinkler. Sprinkler.

Rock away. Rock away.

Rinse. Rinse. And repeat.

A'ight. Everybody got it?

A'ight. Let's see it.



All right.

Ok, hold up.

That... that right there.

That's enough.

Uh, thank you, ladies.

No, wait. No, no, no.

I was just warming up, pressure.

I know your routine.
Watch my sprinkler.

Ready? And
sprinkler. And sprinkler.

And security.

Oh, it's gonna be
like that, pressure?

It's all good.
We still love you.

Ha ha ha! I touched him!



It's all my fault, Rae.

It was that sprinkler move.

I kept doing the watering can.

It is all good, Chels.

At least I got to see
my precious pressure.

Yeah.

♪ You broke my heart,
girl, you tore it in 2 ♪

♪ you walked out on
me, now what can I do ♪

Ahh.

Chels! What?

Ok. It is all good.
I just had a vision.

I'm gonna be in
pressure's video.

Oh! And he's gonna
be singing to me!

Oh, my god! Ahh!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Didn't I tell you
two to keep it down?

Oh, my god!

I'm so excited.

Wait a minute. Raven, no.

How are you gonna
be in pressure's video?

He just kicked us out.

Well, Chels, as long
as we've got Cory,

I can come back here tomorrow

and make my vision come true.

True. Yeah.

Right? I know.

I'm never coming
back here again.

Uh-huh. That's the spot.

Hey, dad, what are you doing?

I gotta run a cable
from the satellite dish

up on the roof
into the living room.

Well, why don't
you just drill a hole?

Oh.

Great. Everybody's an expert.

Well, dad, just want
to give you a heads up

that, um, Cory wants
to quit dance lessons.

What?

He promised me he
was gonna stick it out.

Don't be hard on yourself, ok?

'Cause you did your
best as a parent.

Unfortunately...

Your best wasn't good enough.

Uh, dad, could I talk to you?

Cory, forget it. You're
not quitting that class.

You made a commitment.

But, dad... I don't care.

No buts. We had a deal.

You promised you
were gonna stick it out.

But, dad, they're
making me wear...

I don't care if they're
making you wear a dress.

You're gonna go to that class.

But, dad... end of discussion.

Ahh...

This is so unfair.

Can... can't you talk to him?

Ooh, yeah, mm, tried.

His mind's made up.

This is a nightmare.

Ooh, I'm s... yeah, it is, Cory.

I'm gonna be in the video.

I hate myself... But yet.

Brock, no, don't
read the letter.

Don't read the... mm!

Now he gonna know the truth.

Ok. Commercial.

Y'all back for the
pressure video?

Ok. Studio "b."

Pressure?

Pressure's here?

Pressure. Who's pressure?

Rae, I can't believe
you forgot again.

Pressure's the whole reason

you tricked Cory into
taking dance lessons.

What?

This was all a scam so
you can meet pressure?

Hey, ok, man.

I scammed you,

but what about all those
times you've scammed me?

I never sank this low.

Because of you, I
have to wear a skirt.

Could be worse.

Cory!

Come to class immediately!

She seems nice.

This isn't over.

Great.

He seems really upset, Rae.

Listen, Chels,

I did not sink this
low to quit now, ok.

We gotta get into that video.

Aye!

That's right, my little pets.

Tap those hooves.

Stop! Stop!

Cory, this dance is
about Wolfie the yak.

He tinkles his bells

and prances up the mountain

to find his perfect mate.

Speaking of tinkle,

can I prance to the
little yak's room?

Oh, ch-ch-ch!

And again. 1, 2, 3, 4, and uhh.

Check it out, Rae.

I've been working
on my sprinkler.

Chk-chk-chk-chk.

Brrr. Yeah! See,
totally nailed it.

You know what? Hold
up, hold up. Cut. Stop.

Look, pressure's
just not feeling it.

You know, I need
something fresh.

I need something new.

Hey, I'm new. I'm fresh.

Hold up.

Didn't pressure cut
you two yesterday?

Pressure, if you did,

then how could we be here today?

You know what? Right now,

that doesn't even
matter, all right.

Look, this whole video thing

is just not gonna happen

unless pressure comes
up with a whole new idea.

Then I'm outta here.

Oh, Chels.

My vision. What am I gonna do?

Excuse me, miss.

What you call me?

Man! I thought I had problems.

Hey, it's not a skirt, ok?

It is a kazitzkah,

and it's worn by the
manly yak herders.

Is that what they told you?

Ok. It's a skirt,

but the only reason I'm
wearing it is because of you.

Whoa, hold up. Ha ha.

What's a little dude in a
skirt got to do with pressure?

My big sister scammed me

into taking dance lessons

so she could meet you.

Oh.

Whoa, whoa, man.

Pressure feels for you.

I mean, I got a big sister, too.

Does she make
your life miserable?

She used to.

So now y'all like best
friends or something?

Ha ha, no.

Now she drives my limo.

Oh, ha ha!

Yeah. That was cool.

My sister makes me so mad.

I wish I could get
her back, you know?

Wait. Wait, wait,
wait. Get her back.

Hold on, little man.

I think you just gave
pressure a whole new idea.

Eddie, how's it look?

Still a little fuzzy, Mr. B.

Look, are you sure
you're pointing that thing



I don't know.

Well, what happened
to your compass?

A squirrel stole it.

Well, look,

why don't you just walk
around with the dish,

and I'll tell you
when it looks good.

Can you see anything?

Nothing.

How about now?

It's even worse.

Eddie, how can it be
worse than nothing?

Oh, man. We're never gonna
get to see that game, Mr. B.

Eddie, I did not climb
up here for nothing.

Trust me. We are gonna see

some bone-crushing
football action.

Hey... bad squirrel.

Hey, get away from those wires.

Come on. Uhh.

No! Aah!

Got it. Lost it.

Got it! Oh, oh, oh. Lost it.

Hold it, Mr. B.!

Uhh! I can't!

Mr. B.!

Are you ok?

I'm fine. Just get me down.

Right, right.

Hey, hey. Wait, wait.

Wait. What what?

That is a great picture.

That is some good
football right there.

Whoo!

Man. You know if I cut you down,

we're gonna lose
the picture, right?

Oh, man. That
is a great picture.

Oh. Bad squirrel. Bad squirrel.

Get away from the cable.

Stop chewing the cable.

Here come the pain!

Ok, ok, ok, ladies,
line it up. Line it up.

All right. Now pressure's back.

The video is on with
a whole new idea

thanks to my new friend Cory.

Cory?

Heh. Hello, ladies.

Now Cory's gonna
pick one beautiful girl

to play the lead.

They're all yours, cor.

Thanks, presh.

To be in this video,
you gotta have sizzle.

Ssss.

And you gotta have... Pop, ok?

Psst. Cory, come over.

Can I help you?

Hey, little brother,
how you doing?

Hey, look, I promise if you
make me the lead in this video,

I will be the bestest big sister

in the whole entire world.

It's a big world.

Um, so what are
you thinking, cor?

Well, presh, uh, you know,

I was thinking I would go with,

uh... no, I...

You know, I think
I'll go with Raven.

Aah! Ha ha!

Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, no reason to thank me.

Seeing you in that video
will be thanks enough.

You stuck to your commitment,

and you did what you had to do.

Thanks.

So now I am going to

Let's never speak of this again.

I appreciate that.

Whew!
