01x07 - Bringing Home the Beacon/Dance Like No Mom is Watching

[bunniefuu]

[Hailey] Bees!

[bird squawks]

[buzzing]

[Beta] Look out!

[Scott] Whoo-hoo!
[splash]

- [buzzing]
- [both gasping]

That's right!
Buzz off, you swarm of noise!

[groaning]

[Hailey] Here I am,
about to complete list #188:

Collect fresh honey!

Which I wrote during
my farm-to-table phase.

I think I'll stick to storebought.

[frog plops]

- [jar clatters]
- I'm done!

Great! The next list item is #109...

Eat a raw onion!

And later we can do #346...

- Superglue both of your--
- Nope!

Next up is a shower.

You humans and your self-care.

I've been putting off
an update for weeks

and I'm-- [glitch]

I'm-- [glitch]

I'm great!

[footsteps trailing]

Mmm, this is actually pretty good.

Ow! A bee bit me!

That's the worse pain ever! Ow!

I was wrong.
That's the worse pain ever.

Ow! Ow!

[door creaks]

[towel flops]

Ugh.

That pond was like four percent water.

Well, now that you've taken your
luxurious three-minute shower,

here, list item #109!

Eat a raw onion! Skin and all.

It's not exciting, but that's
why I brought confetti poppers.

[pathetic pop]

Huh, I thought that'd be more exciting.

Beta, can you please just relax?

We don't need to do every item

from when I was obsessed
with internet challenges.

I will have you know
it is thanks to my calculations

that we are currently
ten list items ahead.

[pathetic pop]

How dare you!

Why can't I pick something fun?
It's my list.

And I'm perfectly capable
of handling it myself.

[frog croaking]

I shudder to think
how lost you'd be without...

[glitching] me.

That wasn't a shudder, Beta.

You've been glitching out all day.

Go do your update!

I'll take care of my list,
and have fun, without you.

- [wristband chimes]
- And take the wristband, too!

Fine! You'll see
how much you need me!

- This is fine. [squeaks]
- [door creaks]

- Yeah, you totally seem fine.
- [door thwacks]

Number #119:

Get the high score
at Mega Dance Hero!

Now that's fun!

Hey, is it bad to eat
too many bees?

- Asking for a friend.
- [honey gurgles]

Scott, get your dancing shoes!

- We're going dancing?
- Nope.

We're going gaming.

Aww!

Wait, I love gaming
even more than dancing.

- [Scott] Sweet!
- [door thuds]

After all I do for her,

she sends me off
like some dumb, fluffy toy.

I am a highly advanced fluffy toy!

- [rapid beeping]
- [whirring]

If Hailey won't appreciate me,

I will appreciate me!

[Beta trills]

- [gauge clicking]
- [elevator dings]

[soft metallic swishing]

[Orb] Welcome, Beta!

While your update downloads,

would you care for
a luxury robe?

No, no, no.
Just make this quick.

- Do not try to up-sell me.
- [trilling]

Oh, this is nice.

What's the gig count on this?

[Orb] That's our ten-terabyte
ultimate robe,

available for a small fee.

Fine, fine. I'll take it.

- But that's it.
- [trilling]

Yeah, slippers too,
but that's it!

[dance music plays]

[Hailey] Mega Dance Hero

got me through
an awkward time when I was 11.

That was the summer Scott and I
both dyed our hair yellow

and then came here to hide.

Hi, sweetie! You OK?

You were staring at the machine
like you wanted it

to ask you do dance.

She does that a lot.

I think she has
some kind of inner monologue.

[Hailey]
Quick! Change the subject!

So, Sunny...

Do I get a friend discount
in the arcade?

You're more than a friend,
Hailey. You're family.

And family helps each other out
by paying full price.

Darryl, the apron
goes around your waist.

No, lower!

- [Sunny] Lower!
- Not to worry.

I still have the arcade
master key. [chuckles]

- [swish]
- [beep]

[game voice]
Mega Dance Heroes are not born,

they're made...

on a dance journey around the world!

Only dance can save the future
from a fiery doom!

It's actually not too far off.

Let's see if I still got it.

[Irish music plays]

[Hawaiian music plays]

[country music plays]

[pop music plays]

[merengue music plays]

Oh man! You just need
five songs on this last one,

you'll beat the score!

I think I've still got it.

[hip-hop music plays]

[Hailey] I don't got it.

[game voice]
Mega Fail!

The game voice is kind of intense.

[game voice]
You brought shame to your family!

It's a little much.

[console beeping]

Dang! Still 2nd place
behind Sludgebuzz37.

I forgot how hard
that breakdancing level is.

Breakdancing's not hard.
You just stop, drop, and roll.

- [Scott grunts]
- [dishes clatter]

That's fire safety.

Yep, I see that now.

I need to find real help.

Don't worry, we can save most
of this with the five-minute rule.

Darryl, get a shovel
and make it quick!

No, Darryl, a shovel.
That's a towel.

[Sunny] No, put down the towel!

[Orb] Too many old photos
are bad for your memory.

You're going to operate
so much faster once I'm done.

[Beta sighs] I get so caught up
with Hailey's lists

that I forget about myself.

[Orb] Should I add on
a Deep Digital Detox,

for a small additional fee?

You know what?

Yes. I deserve it.

[orb trilling]

Perrrrrfect.

Is this the spin?

Hm, let me try.

[hip music plays]

- [castor clanks]
- [machine thuds]

Scott, if you're gonna
keep dancing,

I need to bolt down
the rest of the food.

Sorry, we're just trying to figure out
how to do a k*ller backspin.

If you need a backspin,
check out the music video

for "Izzy Gettin' Dizzy Wit It."

It was filmed right here
on the pier back in 1998.

Whoa! In the 1900s!

Darryl, get some bowls!

We can still serve most of this froyo!

[slurping]

I'm kidding.

I said bowls, Darryl.
That's the shovel!

I found it! Look at her!

And that backspin!

- She's Radical!
- She's extra!

No, she's literally Radical.
Look at her jacket.

Mom!

[Hailey]
Or should I say, Radical!

[Patricia] I haven't heard
that name in a long time.

Back in the summer of '98,

I was in over 47 music videos.

Then it all ended one night

on the glittery floor
of the Vixen dance stu--

[Hailey] Yeah, I'd love
to hear that story,

but I'm kind of in a rush.

Could you just
teach me your backspin?

I'd love to, Hailey.

And I know the perfect
training ground.

A playground?

What does this have to do
with breakdancing?

You shall soon see, young one.

[swings rattling]

Focus comes from within.

Respect the twirl!

Fight the hurl!

[swings rattling]

[Hailey grunting]

[Hailey groans]

[exclaiming]

[bin clatters]

Release your stress,
you will impress!

If you want to win,
surrender to the spin! [echoes]

[merry-go-round squeaks]

You are ready, small minnow.

I am?

[Patricia] I don't really know,

but I have an open house
in ten minutes.

Good luck, sweetheart!
- [engine revs]

[Orb] This dry rice will remove excess
moisture from your components,

so you're at full operational capacity
before you leave.

- Namaste.
- Namaste.

No, no. I meant, nah, I'ma stay.

I never want to leave this update.

[electronic music plays]

Let's do this thing!

[Irish music plays]

[Hawaiian music plays]

[country music plays]

[water spurts]

[merengue music plays]

[crowd gasps]

[crowd cheers]

Yes! You've got a perfect score so far.

Wait, what was my mom's advice?

Was it "spin it to win it?"

[Patricia]
Surrender to the spin...

Mom!

You left your open house for me?

No, I'm picking up dinner.

I got three offers
on that house already.

Got 'em to surrender...

to the open floor plan,
if you know what I mean.

Oh, but I'm also totally here for you.

Yo mama is Radical?

Respect.

Hey, the final level is starting.

[hip-hop music plays]

[Patricia] If you want to win,
surrender to the spin!

[music fades]

[cheers and applause]

[console beeping]

Whoo-hoo-hoo! You did it!

[game voice] You've gone
from Mega Dance Zero

to Mega Dance Champion!

[chuckles] Thank you, Mom!

I couldn't have done it without you.

Time to celebrate.
Darryl, get a cake!

- [door opens]
- [tray clatters]

No! That's a tray!

You work in food service, Darryl.

You should know a tray from a cake.

[serene ambient music]

- Welcome, voyagers.
- [wind rustles]

Whoa, he's not yelling.

That must've been some update.

[Beta] It was,
thanks to you, Hailey.

I may have been too harsh on you,
and for that, I am sorry.

Love the new 'tude, Beta!

And guess what?

I completed list item #119

and beat Sludgebuzz37
in Mega Dance Hero.

All. By. My. Self.

[low hum]

[trilling and beeping]

[screams]

You already did that item!

- What?
- You are Sludgebuzz37!

Hailey, you completed that item

two years and three days ago.

Oh, right!

That's when we
double-dared each other

to drink every flavor
of Space Sludgy.

- [Scott] Remember?
- I remember the brain freeze.

[chuckles]
You were pretty messed up.

You tried to sleep in your birdhouse.

Those birds were not happy.

Beta, I'm sorry.

I now realize you serve
an important purpose,

and I took that for granted.

How can I make it up to you?

[onion flops]

Fine.

[loud crunch]

[loud chewing]

[gulp] This is so much worse
than it looks.
