01x18 - If I Only Had a Job

[bunniefuu]

No, Tonya.

There's no need to worry.

Everything is running smoothly.

Uh-huh.

Rae, tell your mother
everything is fine.

Hey, mom, we
haven't eaten for days

your plants are dead

and I'm dropping out of school.

Love you. Bye.

It was a joke.

No. No!

Corey's a big boy.

I let him pick out his
own clothes for school.

Uh-huh...

Uh...

Corey can't come to
the phone right now, but

I'll send him your love. Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Tell your folks I said hello.

Bye-bye.

Corey, what do you have on?

I'm making a statement.

This says, "hi, I'm Corey.

You want to float my boat?"

Oh, really? 'Cause I'm hearing

"hi, I'm Corey.

Want to beat me up?"

Corey, go upstairs

and put on something
that doesn't quack.

And Rae, come on

you got to eat something

before you go to school.

I'm too nervous, dad.

They're announcing
who's getting the parts

in the wizard of oz today.

Uh-huh. Well, let me guess.

You are going up
for the role of Dorothy.

Yes, dad, but I already
made my costume.

Say good-bye to Dorothy's

you know, frumpy,
blue, little farm dress

and say hello to her new mini.

Mm.

Well, if Dorothy's
still skipping

down that yellow brick road

that hemline better
come way down.

Come on, Corey.

I got to get to the
restaurant early today.

New owner, Mr. Briggs...

Two words... not nice.

I'm ready now.

My creativity has been
squashed, but I am ready.

Good luck with the
new boss today, dad.

Oh, come on, Rae.

I get along with everybody.

You know, that restaurant
has had many owners

but only one chef, your old man.

Now please, please
eat something.

Okay, okay.

I've heard enough
out of you, Baxter.

You're fired.

Yep, that's me.

You guys, I just had
a really bad vision.

I saw that my dad's
going to get fired today.

Man, Rae, that's deep.

I know, and I keep
calling the restaurant

but the line's busy.

I'm going to have
to go down there

at lunch and warn him.

Well, hey, since
you're going down there

could you get me one
of your dad's desserts?

Yeah, sure, Eddie.

You know, while I'm down there

I'll just be, like, "hey,
dad, you're getting fired.

Oh, but before you go, could
you grab me a cheesecake?"

Oh.

This is it, you guys.

Drama club.

It's where people just go
in with these high hopes

and come out with
crushed dreams.

So, you ready?

I was.

Well, just remember, if we
don't get the part that we want

it doesn't change who
we are on the inside.

I got the part!

I'm the scarecrow!

My life has meaning!

I must have had the
best audition, huh?

No.

But Rodney is sick.

I still got it.

Kayla, I just wanted to say

whoever gets the
part, no hard feelings.

Oh, how sweet.

I should say
something nice to you.

I got nothing.

Hater.

And now, after
careful consideration

I have decided

that the crucial role of
Dorothy will be played by...

Raven... Yes!

I thought you were here.

Why did I Mark you absent?

Okay where was I?

Dorothy? Oh, yes.

Such a fun part.

And it will played
by... Kayla Simms.

Oh-ho!

I don't believe it!

Is this real?

Oh, somebody pinch me.

Ow!

Ooh, must be real.

Rae, don't worry about it.

It's just a part.

It's not a big deal.

And the wicked witch

of the west will be
Chelsea Daniels.

Yes, I got the
part! I got the part!

That's right. Who's your witch?

Who's your witch?
Who's your witch?

Who's your witch?

Yeah, not that
it's any big deal.

Victor, what is this?

It's my famous
stuffed artichoke.

No. It's your famous
huge artichoke.

Huge means I pay more for it.

I hate huge.

Mr. Briggs, I personally
handpicked this produce myself.

My motto is, the customer
always comes back

when quality is
the main ingredient.

Really?

My motto is, I own the place.

Go salt something.

Thank you.

Hi. I'm Raven,
Victor's daughter.

Hi. How are you?

Nice to... bye-bye.

Um, I just... I just didn't
mean to bother you, but...

And yet, here you stand.

I just wanted to
say that, you know

my dad's just really
passionate about food

and-and that's what
makes him a great chef.

I mean, you are totally
lucky to have him.

Tons of restaurants
are dying to hire him.

Really? Oh, is that so?

Hi. How are you?

Uh... yes, yes.

It's-it's very so.

So, since you have him

hold on to him really tight.

Well, I'll tell you

since you're
following me anyway...

I-I think your father's
a wonderful chef

and-and I'm very happy with him.

Okay?

Okay. See, that is
what I wanted to hear.

Oh, good. You know
what I want to hear?

Bye-bye?

Oh, you're good.

Rae?

Rae, what are you doing here?

Oh. Yeah, what am I doing here?

Let me guess.

You got the part of Dorothy.

No.

I-I didn't get it.

Oh, I'm so sorry,
baby. That's okay.

That's what I came
here for, to tell you that

and-and that I'm okay with it.

Well, that's the Rae I know.

Yeah. So, I'm
going back to school

and you, daddy...
You have a great day.

Okay.

So, I see you met
my daughter Raven.

She's really great.

Really?

She must be having an off day.

Now, you guys, before
we start rehearsal

I'd just like to say

there's so much stuff I
could do with this part.

Yeah.

That's cool, Rae, but really

um, you're the wicked
witch of the east

and your part's
lying under a house.

Yeah.

Get under the coffee
table and stick your feet out.

No. No, no, no, no, no.

You don't get it.

See, I've been
working on this part.

I call this "death of a witch."

♪ Something's coming ♪

♪ it's a house ♪

♪ I'll be under it
in this blouse ♪

♪ that I bought today. ♪

Rae, Rae? Rae, Rae.

Rae, Rae. Rae!

Rae, Rae, Rae.

Rae, Rae, Rae!

Huh?

Let me show you something.

Look, come here, come on.

You are a squished
witch, all right?

Okay, now let me...

Come on down right here.

That's what you do.

You know what? Fine.

This is a lame part anyway.

I'm just going to tell
senorita Rodriguez I quit.

What's up, Mr. Baxter?

Hi, Mr. Baxter. Hey, dad.

What are you doing
home so early?

What kind of greeting is that?

What about, "dad's home.

Let's party?!"

He sure is in a good mood.

No. Something's wrong.

Dad, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just making a little soup.

It might be a little less chunky

without the can.

What's going on?

Oh, nothing.

I just got into
a little argument

with Mr. Briggs.

Dad, what happened?

I mean, when I left
everything seemed great.

You know, nothing's
ever great with that guy.

He even had a problem
with you coming down today.

Like you even said more
than two words to him.

Two?

Maybe three. Four.

Dad, four tops.

And then he said
if I had a problem

with the way he
wants things done

that I should go work at
one of the tons of restaurants

that were dying to hire me.

I don't even know
where he got that from.

You got fired, didn't you?

Um, yeah, baby, I got fired.

But everything is
going to be okay.

Dad, I am so sorry.

Oh, baby, don't be.

It's not like it's your
fault, you know?

Rae, it is not your
fault your dad got fired.

Chelsea

if I didn't go down there
and bother his boss

he would still have a job.

That is so true.

Stand here.

Stand there.

Hold this.

Nine feet.

Yep, my bed can go right here.

Excuse me, what are you doing?

Making sure all my
stuff's going to fit.

'Cause when dad finds
out you got him fired

you'll be history.

And this will all be mine.

Hey, baby, you like my new crib?

Rae, why don't you
just go talk to Mr. Briggs

tell him you're sorry

and maybe he'll
hire your dad back.

This paint has got to go!

Uh, look, munchkin,
I've had enough of you.

I am going to the
restaurant tomorrow

to get dad's job back.

And until then, hey,
you see the finger?

You see the finger?

The finger's looking at the
room, and the finger, yes

the room is mine!

So good-bye.

All right, good-good-bye.

Hi, me again.

Oh, goody.

Wishes do come true.

Yes, and I wish that
you'd hire my dad back.

And then, some wishes don't.

Mr. Briggs, look.

I don't think my
dad should be fired

because of my mistake.

You know, I think
it's just... nifty

that you came all
the way down here

to... stick up for your dad.

Right or wrong

ever notice how nifty
people never win?

Your dad's not
getting his job back.

Hey, Mr. Briggs, now,
you don't fool me, okay?

You're trying to talk tough

but I can see that you're
a very kind, sensitive

warm, forgiving person.

Dear child, you see right
through me, don't you?

Listen, Robin... Raven.

Whatever.

A little advice, kid.

Kissing up will get you nowhere.

Hello, Mr. Q.Z.!

So nice to see you again.

Q.z. In the hiz-house.

P-P-Peace to the brothers.

I see you brought the
whole... The whole posse.

I have a lovely table for you.

I loved your last video.

It was slammin'.

All right, all right.

Everybody step back.

Yes famous person's
coming through.

Welcome to augustine's.

Two steps back.

Please.

Stop looking at me.

Why can't I just blend in?

Get me our usual table.

Y-Your usual table?

He's looking me in the eye.

Don't do that.

Does you know who I be?

Does you listen to music?

Do you watch TV?

Do you carry a lunch box?

Poppy, tell him who I be.

Me?

You don't expect
me to introduce...

Me do you?

Well, uh, you know,
uh, that-that's...

Uh, uh...

Right, uh, th-that's Liz Onya.

Oh! Oh, li... oh! Right! Right!

Right, right, right this
way, miss-miss Onya.

Liz Onya?

Hey, you was almost
about to be pork choppa.

I don't need a menu!

Just have Victor
prepare my usual.

Oh, Victor doesn't
work here anymore.

Are you joking?!

Shh! Don't shush her.

No.

This restaurant is

nothing without Victor.

Where is he?

You know, if I were you

I'd get Victor back right now.

Get me j-lo!

Oh...! It's too late!

Hey, girlfriend.

Yeah, let me tell you something.

I'm down here at augustine's
and this fool fired our Victor.

I know, no... all right.

She wants to speak to you.

Jennifer Lopez
wants to talk to me?

Don't look at the
phone, brother.

No.

H-h-hello, Ms. Lopez.

Yeah, I just want to
say I'm a b-big, big fan.

Don't you sweet talk me.

Not after what you
did to my Victor.

You want to see my
back then get Victor back!

Mom says all boys'
voices change at this age.

And anyone who makes
fun of me is just mean.

The only reason I came here

is for Victor's cooking!

And I'm sure I'm
not the only one.

Excuse me.

Victor would've never served
an artichoke that scrawny!

And Victor

never used this
ingredient in his cooking.

Take that back!

Uh, excuse me.

Some of our customer's
are wondering

if you'll sing something
off your new cd?

They are?

Oh, please sing.

It's a wonderful idea.

Please sing something, please.

No, I'm not sure I can.

No, no, no.

She cannot just sing cold.

I mean, really.

Uh, yeah, uh, uh, Liz
Onya's always better, uh

warmed up, brother.

I'll consider
hiring Victor back.

It's showtime...!

I think I'll do a song, uh,
that I just wrote. Okay.

Rae, I only know one song.

Then just play it
and make it funky.

I...

And it goes a little
something like this.

I love you.

I love you all.

And more importantly
you love me. Okay.

Um... just going to go

through the Kitchen.

I know.

You recognize greatness.

No, anti pasta... Liz Onya.

Whatever.

But I do recognize you.

Aah!

Don't you just hate it
when the bad guy wins?

Don't look at me.

Oh, of course not.

Raven, I was wrong.

You have a lovely voice.

You should have gotten
the part of Dorothy.

So I'm getting the part?

No.

Uh-huh.

Y-yeah, but... Mr. Briggs, it...

She said that?

But... But... but...

Oh... Whatever.

That was Mr. Briggs, Raven.

Or should I say Liz Onya?

You know

I don't think I've ever
heard him that mad before.

Way to go, Raven.

So, dad, you're okay?

Absolutely.

You know, sometimes bad news

is really an
opportunity in disguise.

Like when I was in high
school on the football team.

It was homecoming weekend
and I got hurt really bad.

Ooh, dad, what
happened? A bad tackle?

No, they cut me from the
team... That hurt really bad.

Thanks for the tip, dad.

No, my point is

because I didn't
have to go to practice

I had more free time.

So, I started hanging
out with your grandmother.

Started helping her
out in the Kitchen.

And that's when I
realized I love to cook.

You never told me that story.

Yeah, but see, the
point of this whole thing is

life is going to knock you down
sometimes, and that's okay.

But what's not okay is when
you let life keep you down.

Don't worry.

Everything's going to be okay.

I'm not going to
be down for long.

I'm sure you'll
think of something.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Let me see this cake, will you?

You know senorita Rodriguez

even though I only got the part
of the wicked witch of the east

I'm okay with that because
I figured, "hey, that's life."

And it's not going
to keep me down.

That's a good way
to look at it, Raven.

So, since, you know,
I don't have any lines

I'm going to have
a lot of free time.

And I wanted to, you know

design the costumes
for the show.

So, introducing

scarecrow from the 'hood.

Come on.

And happenin' wicked witch.

We ain't in Kansas
no mo', no mo'.

Raven, these are wonderful.

You got the job.

Thank you.

Oh... I forgot one.

One second.

Yo, munchkin, get in here!

So, whose room is it again?

Your room.

Good little munchkin.
