Welcome to Just Roll With It!
Just Roll With It!
Woo!
Welcome to Just Roll With It!
When you hear this sound...
...you get to vote on what the crew does to us in scenes.
Yes, yes.
Speaking of the crew,
we want to introduce you to our favorite stagehand.
Mike!
Mike! Yeah!
Mike, we just want to say,
you've been doing a really great job with...
- Yay! - Woo!
Yes!
Finally, we got one on them.
When Mike gets us messy, we're gonna have to:
Just Roll With It!
Let's start the show!
Okay, everyone, family game night.
Who's ready to play Strategic Financial Acquisitions?
Ugh!
Fine. How about enjoying some of my famous homemade almond brittle?
You know who else is going to 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 brain
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.
Okay, audience. You see your choices.
One, two, or three.
You guys vote on what game the family plays.
I'm pretty sure we're gonna have to play a crazy game.
Okay, that's it. Votes are in.
We will restart the scene with you saying,
"Let's play one of your boring games."
And then read your next line off the card.
And let's go back to the scene.
Action.
I mean, let's play one of your boring games.
Like "Over the Head Gross Cup Catch."
Aah-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!
- This smells terrible! - Oh!
- Oh, it smells like the zoo. - Oh, man.
- Ready? - Yes.
All right, scoot up. Scoot up, Owen. Scoot up.
Ugh. 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, yeah, yeah. Come on, come on.
- You got it, you got it. - Oh! Oh!
Oh, you just... Eww!
That was sudden.
It's on my hand. Aah, Mommy!
Oh!
- Ooh. - All right, all right. You got this, baby.
Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes. Ooh!
Too fast! Too fast! Hold on, hold on!
Hold on.
- It stinks. Ooh. - Oh, that stinks.
- It stinks so bad. - Ooh, ooh!
Oh!
I'm done. That's our game. Aah!
That's our game.
Yeah, that's enough of that game. Um...
Next week, we will play Strategic Financial Acquisitions.
- Yeah, okay. - Please.
- Ow! - 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 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.
So, this semester,
we're going to be performing a play that I wrote.
A Penworth original.
The Littlest Cheetah. Rrrrrr!
It's a heartwarming 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 just stacks up outside,
and then a huge family of raccoons shows up,
and 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 kind of 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. M-my name is Owen.
Hi, Owen. I see you're auditioning for the lead. Are you ready?
H- hello. My name is Owen.
Not a great start. And music please.
Right. The song. Uh...
Le-Let me try that again.
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.
Oh.
And you owe the school $70 for that drum.
Next!
It smells 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.
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 sounds good? - Mm-hmm.
Oh, Byron. While I was getting my tools, I scanned your files.
It looks like you haven't been in for a check-up in five years.
Hey, no worries, though. I could do a quick exam right now.
Nuh-uh! No way!
- Byron, it's no big deal. - I'll just... -
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.
Hey.
I gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha.
Okay. Shh. Shh.
- - Okay. Now let's just have a look.
- Do you want me to hold your hand? - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm!
All right.
Go ahead. You're wasting your time.
That nothing even...
No wonder you're called Dr. Payne!
Oh, 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.
- - We're going out the window. Come on, come on, come on!
Come on, come on, come on, come on. Hurry up, hurry up.
Ah!
Tuck and roll! Tuck and roll!
Did I hear that someone here
is afraid of the dentist?
I've got to 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.
Forgive me.
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.
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 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 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 AWOL?
She found out...
Okay, audience. You decide
who is the mystery radio guest.
It's right after I said you went AWOL,
so it might be them trying to say their excuses of what happened?
- Votes are in. - The scene will start
with you saying, "Hold on, Blair. You went AWOL?"
Then you will read a new line from your phone.
Now back to the scene.
Action!
Hold on. Blair, you went AWOL?
"Hold on. We'll talk about this in a second.
- "I just got a text from the scientist... -
"I just 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 the air.
The questions are on the note cards on your desk."
- Okay, great. - All right.
Uh, so today we have with us a world-famous scientist.
- Tell us your name. - Rach... Rachel Science Lady.
My name is Rachel Science Lady.
It's so great to have you here.
Uh, what's your greatest scientific achievement?
I was actually the first person
to hypothesize the famous scientific theory:
Whoever smelt it, dealt it.
Nice. I use that all the time.
- That was me. - Uh, and, uh, but, and I also hear
that you have a new experiment that you've been working on.
- Yes. - Uh, show us how it works.
Oh. This must be my experiment here.
Just say, "Aha!" a lot, and people will think you're legit.
Aha!
Now let us know how it works.
I hope my colleagues left some very detailed instructions for me.
- - Because this looks like it could be dangerous.
All right. So what we're gonna do first is mix one
into two.
This is easy.
- Yeah, science is very easy. - Woo!
Woo!
That was amazing! Yes!
- Science! - Science! Yes!
And that concludes our interview with Rachel Science Lady.
- Thank you. - Woo!
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 50s.
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 kind of 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 kind of 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 than I'm being sarcastic right now?
- Loud and clear. - We'll go to the dentist.
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 dentist who respects
the time-honored tradition of "not it."
Byron, let's get started.
I knew it!
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 are gonna start the scene from Dr. Payne saying,
"Now, let's get started, Byron."
And let's go back to the scene.
Action!
Byron, let's get started.
Before we do, let's just put this seat belt on real quick.
Of course I'm gonna need a seat belt.
I can't wait to put a seat belt on.
Have a nice trip, Byron.
Let's just get started. I just need to adjust your chair.
Okay, great. Aah!
Ah-ha-ho!
- Let's go! - Keep your head back.
Woo! Let's ride, baby! Yeah!
This can't be as bad as driving with Mom.
I like to make my patients dizzy before I drill.
I switched it up! I got it now, baby, let's go!
Ride him, cowboy! Show him who's boss.
Ride him, cavity. Ride him!
Well, now that we're all done with that,
it's time for the fluoride.
Here we go.
There we go. Nice and clean.
Now for you, Byron.
I picked up this treatment from a car wash.
Aah!
It cleans your body, and your teeth.
You're missing my mouth!
Now, we're done with that, let's start drilling.
No, please stop. No drilling!
Aah!
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.
Uh, uh, there... 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.
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!
Yeah!
That's my son!
Thank you!
Oh!
Thank you. Grazie. Mwah! Mwah!
Did you see that, Bruce? I am a star!
That was just the first scene.
There's, like, two more hours left.
- And that's our show! - Uh, hey, that's my line.
And that's our show!
- You guys have been a great crowd! - Yeah!
