07x02 - Workaversary Girl

[bunniefuu]

Hey, Bill.

Broke in your new boots
on a 6-mile sunrise hike.

Just how you like 'em.[DOOR CLOSES]

Aw, thanks, Noah.

Can't wait
to try 'em out.

[SNIFFS] Nope, I'll wait.

I ran into Lou
on my walk back,

and you won't believe it.

She's finally
gonna give this camp

what it's needed
for a very long time.

Edible food?Fewer rattlesnakes?

Better.

She agreed to let me lead
a puppet show workshop!

I should have said it
using jazz hands.

It would have
elevated the moment.

That's very cool.So great, Noah.

Does that mean
I can count on the both of you
to attend my first workshop?

Definitely not.You completely
misread the situation.

But we're
happy for you.
Really.

[HISSING AND RATTLING]

BILL: Oh, rattlesnake.

Looks like we're going out
the bathroom window again.

♪ Kikiwaka, Kikiwaka

♪ Kikiwaka, Kikiwaka

♪ Kikiwaka, Kikiwaka ♪

Hey, Scout!

I've got quite the list
of activities for us today.

Makeovers, glitter manicures,

then my amazing
history-of-sequins lecture

called "The Dark Side
Behind the Shiny Side."

Ooh, I wish I could hang,

but unfortunately,
I have plans this morning.

Oh, really?
I'll go with you.

I've been staring
out this window

for an hour,

so I might as well
do something.

Actually, you can't because...
[GASPS] it's a yoga class!

Yep. Yoga class in town,
just doing some yoga.

Gotta yoga.
I'm gonna stop
saying "yoga" now.

I love yoga.

Why can't I go?

Great question. Because...

it's all booked up!

That's it. Sorry.

Well, gotta get to
my max-capacity
yoga class now. Bye!

Okay, have fun.

Wait a minute.
She can't be going to yoga.

Her pants were
neither breathable

nor moisture-wicking.

Something's up.

Morning, campers.

Just a couple announcements.

This should be quick.

Excuse me! Whoa.

Sorry.

Look out.

Oh!

Well, it would
have been quick.

Parker, what's with
the blindfold?

Ah, I just didn't want to ruin
any surprises you have planned
for this special day.

Special day?
What special day?

[CHUCKLES]

For a second,
you had me thinking
you had forgotten,

and it was devastating.

Here, you should
wear one of these, too.

Wouldn't wanna spoil
the surprise I have cooked up.

No, no, it's fine.
Ruin it for me.

You know
what they say
about surprises.

They're best savored
well, well, well in advance.

Look at you, so cagey.

You must have
something amazing in store.

All right,
here we go again.

Clear a path.

Hey, could someone let me
know when I'm close to the...

Nevermind. Found it.

Uh, Lou?

What was Parker
talking about?

I have no idea.

Of course.
It's Canada Day.

How am I supposed to
remember these things?

I mean, what does
that holiday
even celebrate?

[CHUCKLES]Canada?

Right. Here. You do
the morning announcement.

I have to run
and get Parker a present
from the syrup shack.

And no, I'm
not generalizing
an entire country.

That boy just loves
him some syrup.

It finally happened.

All right. Listen up,
booger-eaters!

There's a new
sheriff in town,

and it's gonna get weird.

No, what was
I thinking?

You are
with me today.

My preferred medium

is definitely
the sock puppet.

I avoid marionettes

because the strings
get tangled,

and ventriloquist
dummies because...

Well, they scare
the bejeebers out of me.

I love sock puppets, too.

You're telling me
I can make a friend
out of footwear?

Sign me up!

Hey, Noah,
is this your first
puppet show workshop?

Yep, this is Joshua,
my star pupil.

And not just because
he's my only pupil.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

Although it
certainly doesn't hurt.

I look forward to all my
one-on-one lessons with Noah.

[VENTRILOQUIZING]
One-on-one?

I think you mean
two-on-one.

Don't forget about your Gooby.

Agooba-gooba!

The kid's a prodigy.

Bill, I don't
like this.

Uh, if you're
interested,

Noah's supposed to
take us canoeing now.
Wanna come with us?

Sorry, fellas,
workshop's running
a little long.

Joshua wants to try
making puppets

out of ankle socks.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

It's so crazy,
it might just work!

Oh, I guess
we'll go canoeing
without you, then.

Nice meeting you guys.

Agooba-gooba.

Fun fact. "Agooba-gooba"
means hello and goodbye.

It's all in the inflection.

Okay, bye.

Is it me, or did Noah
just blow us off?

I don't think
he blew us off,

he just chose
to hang out
with someone else

with no warning at all.

Wait, I hear it.

I think this warrants
leaving in a huff.

BOTH: Huff!

Where are you headed, Scout?

[FABRIC RIPPING][YELLS]

It's a good thing
my sequins are camo,
so nobody saw that.

[HONKING]

[BLEATING]

A-ha! I knew you
weren't going to yoga.

Darn it. What tipped you off?

It was my
unbreathable pants,
wasn't it?

Did you sneak away from me
to hang out with the animals?

We can do this together.

Really, you don't have to.

It's okay, I want to.

I'm sure you have
better things to do.

No, this is fun.The animals don't
like you. [GASPS]

[GASPING] They what?

[BLEATS]

I really hope
that's goat for "psych."

How can the animals
not like me?

Animals love me.

Except for maybe Nibbles,

but that man-eating
demon goat hates
everyone at camp

unless they come
with a side of coleslaw.

[BLEATS]

You want a piece, Nibs?
Come at me!

Listen.

It's really hard
to be the one
to deliver this news,

but they want you to go.

[GASPS][GOOSE HONKS]

Don't pile on, Maverick.

No, this can't be true!

What did I ever do to them?

Remember when
you called Maverick
a "silly goose"?

That hurt.

I was being affectionate.

With a harmful stereotype?
Not the best look.

Okay, I'll take
the L on that,

but Miss O'Veal and I
totally became BFFs
last summer.

She even signed my yearbook.

With which hoof?Right front?

Yikes. That's cold, lady.

[COW MOOING]

Okay.

I guess if the animals
really don't like me, I'll go.

No! I can't. I need to stay
and win them over.

Destiny Baker never gives up!

Except on pageants.

And clowning.

And paper straws.

But the trend stops now!

I can't believe
we've barely seen Noah
this whole day.

I wonder if he'll
even be back by bedtime.

He better.

Ever since
my sound machine broke,

he's been making
the white noise sound
so I can fall asleep.

This glow does not happen
without a full eight hours.

Hey, fellas.

Well, well, well.
Look who's home.

Where have you been,
young man?

Just hanging out
with Joshua.

Sometimes you can lose
hours and hours

when you really get into
jamming with someone
about puppets, you know?

Let's assume I don't.

That reminds me.

Joshua said the most
interesting thing today.

Well, actually,
his puppet did,

but sometimes,
it's hard to figure out

where the man ends,
and the sock begins.

GOOBY:
Noah, you're
coming or what?

Our new puppet show
isn't gonna cast itself.

Agooba-gooba.

In this case,
it meant goodbye.

Someone should
teach that puppet
to knock.

He's 90% hand,
he can manage.

Wait, you're not seriously
leaving again, are you?

We're going to buy
some more puppet material
for our new musical.

Sock of Ages.

Gooby needs
a strong female lead

to really ground
his performance, you know?

Again, let's assume
I don't.

See you later.

GOOBY:
Take it easy.
Agooba...

Agooba-gooba.
Yeah, we know!

Get some new material, pal.

Well, it's official.

Noah would
rather hang out
with Joshua than us.

So what if Joshua
is super into puppets?

We could be
into puppets, too.

Yeah. Maybe that's how
we win Noah back.

But if we're going to
out-puppet Joshua,
we need to go big.

Whatever it takes.

Because if we lose Noah,

I'll have to start
playing solitaire by myself.

Sometimes, I worry
Noah coddles you.

Okay. When you hear
"time for your surprise,"

you come out
and do your thing.

If you wanna
take this up a notch,
I have some red and white...

Please stop
suggesting fireworks.

For your information,
I was gonna say

"I have some
red and white streamers."

Really?No.

Fireworks. I am who I am.

So, Lou,
you ready to celebrate
this special day?

Let's do this!

Happy...Happy...

Workiversary!Canada...
Workiversary!

Yeah, of course.
It's our workiversary.

The day we've been
celebrating for two years

because it means
so much to us,

and we can never, ever
possibly forget about it.

Long, awkward recap...

but yeah!

And since we always
go all-out for each other,
it's time for your surprise.

[GASPS]
Shut it down!
Shut it down!

Shut it all the way down!

Get rid of the syrup!

[CRASHING
AND CLANGING]

WINNIE: I'm okay!

Here it is!

Oh, "Queen
of All Co-Workers."

Technically, I'm your boss,
not your co-worker,

but amazing!

I actually prepared
a short speech.

"Four score
and two years ago,

"I parked my RV
at a weird little camp
in Maine,

"and began working
with this sweet lady."

Aw.

"At the time,
I feared I'd
hit rock-bottom

"and was clinging on
to whatever pathetic
possibilities came my way."

What's on the next card?

"But now I realize,
it was the opportunity
of a lifetime.

"Hold for applause."

None? That's okay.

So, Lou,
what kinda special surprise
do you have cooked up?

Oh. Uh, my
special surprise
thing is later.

Much later, because
that's what I had planned
for it to happen beforehand.

No follow-up questions.

Okay. Well, in that case,

let's play
the Parker and Lou-themed
trivia game I have planned.

First clue.

Where did we
do that one thing
with that one guy

that one time
that made us
laugh so hard?

You're welcome.[LAUGHING]

I basically
just handed it to you.

Yes, I totally know
what place you're
talking about

based off your
extremely vague clue.
[LAUGHING]

[INHALES] Race you there!You're on!

Okay.

Winnie! Winnie,
Winnie, Winnie, Winnie!

Whoo. This maple syrup
goes down smooth.

I need your help
planning a surprise party
that I just promised Parker.

Here.

Take this,
and decorate the place
for a workiversary party.

Make it look nice.

This is $9
and a stick of gum.

You're darn right,
and I wanna see receipts.

Okay, I've got
everything I need
to win the animals over.

Uh, what is
all this stuff?

First,

I have a diffuser
to add a nice
citrus aroma to the air.

To be frank,
it smells like
a barn in here.

Because it is a barn.

And I was born
to two fashion-averse clowns
in the Florida Panhandle.

We can always rise
above our circumstances.

And for
Maverick the goose,

I noticed that nest
didn't look very comfy,

so I brought
a down pillow.

[MAVERICK HONKS][SCOFFS]

Down is goose feathers!

That stuffing might be
a second cousin!

Really?

I thought they called it down
because you lie down on it.

Pivoting to goat fashion,

Nibbles needs a hat,

and luckily,
I brought options.

[BLEATS]

[BLEATS]

[BLEATS]

[BLEATS]

And apparently,
you brought opinions.

It's okay,
I've got another plan.

Every animal loves
sticking their head out
of a moving car window,

so, let's get you all
on the bus!

A bus?

Destiny, you know
Maverick can't wear
a seat belt.

He doesn't have any shoulders!

I'll give them treats.

I've got some
finger-shaped carrots

Nibbles will die for.

And no campers will have to.

I didn't know
you cared so much
about animals liking you.

I don't think
you understand

the incredible self-doubt
of an ex-pageant queen.

I need everyone to like me,

so I'm going to
charm everyone!

Where is everyone?

You left the barn door open!
They escaped!

Finger carrot?

Bill, I'm not
so sure about this.

If this isn't enough
to show Noah we can
be into puppets too,

then I'm terrified
to know what it takes.

[HONKS]

Oh, look. Maverick.

Hey, buddy!

[HONKING AGGRESSIVELY]

Bill, I hate
to break it to you,

but I don't think
he's your buddy.

[HONKING AGGRESSIVELY]Quick!

We need to find
a giant sock drawer
to hide in!

[HONKING AGGRESSIVELY]

That scavenger hunt
was so fun.

I think my favorite part
was when we tracked down

that place where we saw
that thing that reminded us

of that one time
we shared a moment.

Thanks, Parker.No thanks needed, Lou.

That k*ller surprise
that you have planned
will be plenty thanks enough.

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
Yeah.

That surprise
is gonna be so k*ller,

don't be surprised
if even I look surprised.

Look at this, it's...

toilet paper streamers.

Wow, Lou,
you shouldn't have.

♪ Happy workiversary to you

♪ Happy workiversary to you

♪ It's a made-up occasion

♪ But you two do you ♪

You got me a cake, too.

Which one
should we eat first?

Heads up, this is just
a mound of brown
and tuna fish,

speckled with sludge
I found behind the oven.

[LAUGHING NERVOUSLY]

[CLATTERS]

Let's start
with your cake.

Did you find
any of the animals?

Destiny, I'm
an expert tracker.

So, did you?No.

[BILL AND JAKE SCREAMING]

Well, that was super weird.

Welcome to
Kikiwaka Ranch.

[HONKING AGGRESSIVELY]

Follow that goose!

[HONKING]

[BLEATING]

[HONKING]

[BLEATING][HONKING]

ALL: Whoa!

Okay, why
are you guys dressed
like giant sock puppets?

[BLEATING][HONKING]

Survive now,
explain later!

[MOOING]

So, um, is this
all you have planned
for our workiversary?

No, like, Parker and
Lou-themed trivia

where the answers
have to be given
in the form of, like,

a sick dance move?

Of course
I planned more.

I got you a present.

And it's...

in the kitchen.

I wouldn't do that.

Unless you want this
to be your last Arbor Day.

Workiversary.

Whatever.

[BANGING]

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

Happy workiversary.

[CHUCKLES] It's a...

It's a soup strainer.

[GASPS]

And a...

A dented can
of green beans.

Not even expired.

That's as good
as currency around here.

And a coupon
for 15% off enrolment
at Kikiwaka Ranch.

Whoa, there's
a lot of blackout dates
on this thing.

And for you,
I will overlook.

Most of them.

[BILL AND JAKE SCREAMING]

[SQUISHING]

Now we're
getting somewhere.

This is what
I call a party!

[SNIFFS]

Smells like
tuna fish and sludge.

Whose workiversary?

Now what is
all of this about?

Do you really
wanna know?

Nope. Carry on.

Why is there
no cake in your cake?

That's my cue.
Enjoy your made-up day.

What's really
going on here?

Okay, confession time.

I forgot our workiversary.

[GASPS] Oh, my gosh!

I haven't been
this disappointed

since that one time
in that one place

with that one person
who said that one thing,

which you probably
don't even remember!

I swear, I truly do
value our friendship.

I'm so sorry.
The day just...

It slipped my mind.

[SCOFFS] I can't
believe this, Lou.

I would never
forget our special day.

Were our business feelings
for each other all a lie?

[CELL PHONES BEEPING]

Uh-oh.

Huh.

Would you look at that?

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

A calendar reminder
for our workiversary
next week.

Turns out I didn't forget
our special day after all.

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
Must have got
my dates mixed up.

Hey, but on the bright side,
it is Canada Day!

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Do you have any
special surprise planned?

You know how much
I love syrup.

[MAVERICK HONKING][NIBBLES BLEATING]

Well, it wasn't easy,

but we got
all the animals back.

I can't believe Miss O'Veal's
such a good swimmer.

Okay, I'm gonna go.

I know when
I'm not wanted.

Not that it happens
very often.

Humans adore me.

Destiny, stop.

I lied.

The animals don't hate you.

They love you.

What? Really?

Miss O'Veal talks
about you all the time.

It's always,
"Destiny moo-moo this,
Destiny moo-moo that."

I mean,
it's kind of a moo-fest.

I don't understand.

If the animals like me,
then why were you
ditching me?

I'm sorry.

It's just that growing up
at a wildlife preserve,

I always used to hang out
with the animals... alone.

I kind of miss that.

And you were just so excited
to do stuff with me today,

I didn't want
to hurt your feelings.

Scout, I totally get it.

Everyone needs
their own personal time.

And you could have told me.

Remember, you can
tell me anything.

Thanks, Destiny.

In that case,
Maverick thinks

your obsessive desire
to be liked

could ultimately hurt you
later on in life.

Well, you can
tell Maverick...

he's not the first one
to say that.

What is
going on here?

And, Bill,

why are you dressed like
a sock that escaped prison
through a sewage pipe?

Oh, Noah!
That's a great idea

for our next puppet show.

The Sockshank Redemption.

And we can
help with that.

We love puppets,
puppet shows,

and all puppet-related
activities, right, Jake?

[IN A DEEP VOICE]
Ajakey-jakey.

What?

We're just showing you
we can be into puppets
as much as Joshua,

so you wanna
spend time with us, too.

Um...

maybe Gooby and I
should give you guys
some space?

GOOBY: Work through
your issues, gentlemen.

Agooba-gooba.

[SOFTLY] Communication is key.

I really dislike
that puppet.

Just because
Joshua and I spent today
talking puppets

doesn't mean
you two aren't my guys.

[IN DEEP VOICE]
Really?

Stop doing the voice, man!

The three of us
have so much
other stuff in common.

You don't need
to dress up like puppets
so I like you.

I love you guys.

We love you, too, Noah.

And we do wanna try
one of your workshops.

But not because
we're jealous.

We just wanna support you
as much as you support us.

I would love it if you came
to my next workshop.

Oh, and maybe
it will be the beginning

of your own life-long
love affair with puppetry.
Who knows?

We know.It won't.

Well, no matter what,
I appreciate the support.

Bring it in.

GOOBY: This is nice.

You're not a part
of this moment, Gooby.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
