Austin & Ally (2011–2016): Season 1, Episode 18 - Successes & Setbacks - full transcript
Subs created by: David Coleman.
Um, guys, what are you doing?
Building the first ever musical
instrument domino course.
Hit it, Austin.
Well, that stunk.
What? That was amazing!
Yeah. I gotta admit
that was pretty cool.
No, wasn't. At the end, pudding was
supposed to explode out of the tuba.
What's the point of knocking
over all these instruments,
if there's no pudding explosion?
Ooh!
Guess who got a job at...
You got a job at...
What kind of place is that?
No, I got a job at
the sausage cart.
I said...
Because of that guy over there.
I'm pretty sure
that's Jimmy Starr.
He owns Starr Records.
No way.
He's one of the biggest
names in music!
- I'm gonna get a better look.
- No, don't make it obvious.
Ally, please.
Jimmy Starr!
It's him.
No way. I've been giving his
son violin lessons for weeks.
I had no idea.
This is huge.
Your best shot at a record deal
is sitting right over there.
You know what you
need to do, right?
Oh, yeah.
I'll keep giving his
son lessons each week,
dropping very subtle hints
about Austin's music.
Then in four to five months...
No, we're doing this now.
Jimmy baby, how the heck are ya?
Let's start with "who
the heck are you?"
You know... Trish.
We met at that thing.
I'm pretty sure I'd remember
talking to a sausage.
Okay, we've never met,
but I know who you are.
Oh, I've heard of you.
My son's a fan.
What are you working on now?
Well, we just started writing this new
song called "The Way That You Do."
Ah. Tell you what...
I'll be back next week
for my son's lesson.
Have a demo of that song ready.
If I like it, you might just
have yourselves a record deal.
- Awesome!
- Oh!
- I'm gonna get a record deal!
- What up?
I said "might" and "if."
What up?
I have a great
feeling about this.
You're a Starr. Austin's a Moon.
Together, you'll
rule the galaxy.
I'm gonna stand over here where
I can't embarrass myself.
Fixed it! Woo!
When the crowd wants more,
I bring on the thunder.
'Cause you've got my back,
and I'm not going under.
You're my point,
you're my guard.
You're the perfect chord.
And I see our names together
on every billboard.
We're headed for the top,
we've got it on lock.
We'll make 'em say "hey!"
And we'll keep rockin'.
Oh, there's no way I could
make it without ya.
Do it without ya,
be here without ya.
It's no fun when
you're doing it solo.
With you it's like, "whoa".
Yeah, and I know.
I own this dream.
'Cause I got you with me.
There's no way I could
make it without ya.
Do it without ya,
be here without ya.
No, oh oh oh oh.
The way that you do.
You're off the charts.
You're ♪1.
You've got the fire,
so keep burning it up!
Woo! I nailed the
bridge that time.
That was great!
One more time and I
think it'll be perfect.
But we've been here for hours
and my throat's killing me.
I know you're working hard, but this
demo has to be perfect for Jimmy Starr.
Hey, he's not the only one
who's been working hard.
I've been slaving over these cover
designs all night for Austin.
My name's not on that.
Okay, that's why
we have options.
I've been working hard too.
I've been glued to this
sound board all night.
I have no idea how
this happened.
Come on. We're in the zone.
You know what they say...
"Once that bacon gets grooving, there's
just no stopping that sizzle."
Pretty sure you're the
only one that says that.
All right, fine. One more
time and we'll call it quits.
Dez, hit record.
Recording!
You're off the
charts, you're ♪1.
You've got the fire. So
keep burning it u...
So keep burning it u...
Burning it u...
I think something's wrong.
Uh, yeah. It's supposed to be...
Burning it up!
And you're going...
Burning it u...
No, there's something
wrong with my voice.
- I... I can't hit that note.
- Yeah, you're telling me.
Okay, nobody panic. I'm sure Austin will
be able to hit the note in the morning.
All you need is a
good night's sleep.
So keep burning it u...
Okay, maybe two good nights.
What's going on? I used to be able
to hit that note in my sleep.
Oh, you sleep sing?
I sleep paint.
Whipped up this little
puppy last night.
I can't believe this
is happening now.
Jimmy Starr's coming in a week.
Austin, relax.
So what if we don't have
a finished song for him?
That just means we'll
lose the best chance
we'll ever have of
getting a record deal.
How that supposed
to make me relax?
I don't know. I'm
not good at this.
We should call your parents.
You need to go to the doctor.
Wait!
Before we go to the doctor, there's
something I wanna try first.
It's lemon, garlic, beet
root, three blades of grass,
fish oil, chicken liver
and one cup of mud.
How's that gonna help my throat?
It's not. It's just something
I've always wanted to try.
Yep, I was right!
It's disgusting.
I hate doctors' offices.
They always creep me out.
What if there's something
really wrong with my voice?
Don't worry, Austin. I'm sure
everything's gonna be fine.
I remember when I was six I took
my pet goldfish Moby to the vet,
and he was nervous too.
And everything turned out fine?
No, we had to flush him.
Why do I keep trying
to cheer you up?
Hey, we got you some
tea with honey.
For my honey.
- Thanks, mom.
- Yeah.
So did they come back with
the test results yet?
- No, we're still waiting.
- The service here stinks.
You know, at our mattress store,
we get you in, we get you out,
and we get you
sleeping in no time.
Because...
At Moon's Mattress Kingdom,
there's no hassle in our Castle.
Mwah.
Thanks for your patience, folks.
Give it to us straight, doc.
We can take it.
Well, we ran some tests...
No!
I haven't given the results yet.
Oh.
Proceed.
Well, it looks like Austin here
has nodules on his vocal chords.
Nodules?
Not nodules!
What are nodules?
Don't worry. It's
not that serious.
But if left untreated,
it could prevent you
from ever singing again.
- What?
- That's terrible.
Oh, I see. And how will
it affect his dancing?
Does he have to be in here?
Welcome to my world, doc.
What kind of treatment
options are there, doctor?
Well, there's a very simple procedure
that can cure Austin completely.
And it has a quick
recovery time,
so you could be singing again
in less than a week...
See? I told you there was
nothing to worry about.
But there are some
possible side effects.
See? I told you there was
something to worry about.
What are the side effects?
Well, there's a chance
with the procedure...
That Austin's voice may
be permanently altered.
Wait. If I don't
have the procedure,
I may never sing again.
But if I do, I may never
sing the same again?
That's correct.
Remind me again, doc... Where
did we land on the dancing?
Seriously, you need to leave.
Hey, Austin. We feel bad about what you're
going through, so we got you some gifts.
I knitted you a scarf
with all our names on it.
- Thanks.
- I got you a giant get-well-soon card.
And I'm gonna sign the
giant get-well-soon card,
because I didn't know
we were doing gifts.
Thanks, guys.
We're really sorry we
pushed you so hard.
We feel like it's our fault
your voice is damaged.
Don't feel bad. It's
not your fault.
I know. That's why I
didn't get you anything.
I just don't know what to
do about this procedure.
Oh, it's a tough decision.
Let's make a pros and cons list.
Oh! I love pros and cons lists.
You wanna know why?
Pro... They make
decisions easier.
Con... There isn't one!
I love them!
Okay, Austin, go ahead.
Well, pro... With the procedure,
I'll be able to sing again.
Con... With the side effects, I may
end up sounding like a chipmunk.
Or a bottle-nosed dolphin.
Dez...
He's not going to
sound like a dolphin.
Uh, we don't know that.
I mean, I don't wanna worry you,
but you could sound like anything.
I'm not worried.
Hey, everybody. Thanks
for coming out.
This song is called...
"Break Down The Walls."
Break down the walls, whoa!
Don't be afraid to
let things fall...
Looks like we're having some
technical difficulties.
Let me try one more time.
Boo! Boo! Boo!
I don't wanna sound like a dolphin!
What should I do?
This is the toughest decision
I've ever had to make.
Decisions are easy...
Just flip a coin.
Let's see. I've got a
quarter, a nickel and a dime.
Which one should I flip?
Man! Decisions are hard to make.
Forget it, Dez.
We should probably
call Jimmy Starr,
and tell him we need a little
more time to finish our demo.
Okay, I'll handle it.
I'm your manager.
It's my job to make
your life easier.
Jimmy baby, it's Trish.
Listen, we're gonna need a
little more time with that demo.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Perfect!
- Yes!
- So we got more time?
Actually, no. He wants
it a day earlier.
I know you got your heart set
on a music career, kiddo,
but you ought a take this
throat thing as a sign.
Yeah, sweetie. Look,
we love your music,
but why take a risk when you've got a
sure thing in the family business?
I don't wanna spend my
life selling mattresses.
Don't you wanna be
part of a legacy?
Your mother and I are the
mattress King and Queen of Miami.
- You know what that makes you?
- Embarrassed?
You're the Prince of Moon's
Mattress Kingdom, and one day
- that kingdom will be yours to rule.
- Mm-hmm.
But in a few days, he could
have a deal at Starr Records.
Yeah, I'm so close, and
performing's my dream.
You get that from me. I
love to perform too.
- It's true, you do. You do.
- And you still get to do that in our job.
- Have you seen our latest commercial?
- Right.
Come on down to Moon's
Mattress Kingdom.
Where our mattresses are firm
and our prices are soft.
This week we hereby declare
all mattresses half off.
Huh? Come on, son.
Say the slogan with us.
- I don't really want to.
- Oh, come on, Prince Austin.
Moon's Mattress Kingdom.
There's no hassle in our Castle.
Mwah!
Well, son, you've got
a lot to think about.
Yeah, we'll see you
at home, sweetie.
You look so cute in
your little crown.
Your highness.
Hello.
I'm doing the procedure.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I don't want to be the mattress
Prince, and singing's my life.
What if the procedure
doesn't work?
This could end your career.
Then either way
my career's over.
I can't believe I might
never sing again.
I made up my mind.
I have to take this chance.
I don't know what I would do if I
couldn't sing the songs you write for me.
Thanks, Austin.
I'm gonna go call Dr. Grant.
'Ello, I'm Princess Ally.
Oh, of course I'll kiss you, Mr.
Frog.
- Ally!
- Uh, coming.
Oh, I can't wait to see Austin.
It's been two days
since his procedure.
Dez, are you almost done
with those balloons?
Yup, I just blew
up 100 balloons.
Now all I gotta do is tie 'em.
Austin, welcome back!
Welcome back, buddy.
What do you think
of the decorations?
Fine. Really, the
silent treatment?
I just almost sorta nearly blew
up 100 balloons for you. Pf ft!
No, the doctor put Austin
under strict vocal rest
to make sure his
throat heals properly.
He has to remain
silent for 48 hours.
Only 12 more to go.
The doctor says it's crucial
that Austin doesn't say a word.
Got it. What word?
He can't say anything.
Got it. He can't say
the word "anything."
Well, that shouldn't
be too hard.
He can't speak at all.
Maybe you should try that.
I know you can't talk, buddy, so I came
up with a foolproof communication system
using these colored scarves.
It's easy. Just wave the blue
scarf if you're thirsty.
The green is to signal danger.
The red...
Oh, wait. No, the red
is to signal danger.
The green is if you spot a snake.
Or was that the purple?
Anyway, the pink is if
you're late for prom.
Put all three of these
together if you need a coffee.
Yellow? There's a spider on your shirt?!
I'll get it.
I'm gonna get you, buddy. I'm
gonna help you. I'm helping you.
I know spiders are dangerous.
Just let me help you.
Come on. It's okay. It's okay.
Where is it? Where is it?
I brought you some hot soup to
make your throat feel better.
You're doing great.
You only have to be quiet
for six more hours.
How hard can that be?
It's okay. I'll scream for you.
"That girl is checking me out.
Help me."
Oh, I got you. I'll
take care of it.
Quit staring at my friend!
You're freaking him out!
You're welcome.
I wonder if I could not talk for 48 hours.
Granted, I'm not much of a talker.
Sure, I talk sometimes. I'm not
not a talker, but when I do...
Yeah, I couldn't do it.
Only a few hours left. I can't believe you
went two whole days without saying a word.
That's why you're
my best friend.
What up?
Austin, you talked.
I wasn't thinking.
But the 48 hours aren't up yet. Do
you think you ruined your voice?
- I don't know.
- Why do you keep talking?!
Because you keep
asking me questions!
Let's all stop talking.
We'll keep Austin quiet
for a couple more hours,
we'll record the demo and by the
time Jimmy gets here, we'll be...
Uh, guys.
Change of plans, kids.
I'm catching a plane in
an hour, so I wanted
to pop by and get that
demo a little early.
Look over there!
Run!
That's all I got.
Somebody else got a plan?
Look, Mr. Starr, I hate to say
this, but we don't have your demo.
We thought we'd have a couple
more hours to finish it.
Oh, that's too bad. I don't
have a couple more hours.
Guess I won't be
signing you after all.
Mr. Starr, wait, don't leave.
- I'm gonna perform the song live.
- What?
- Huh?
- Cool.
That works. All right,
just make it fast.
Give us five minutes.
We'll be ready.
Dez, you know what to do.
Yes. Yes, I do.
What are you doing? You haven't had
a chance to test out your voice.
What if you permanently damaged it?
What if you can't hit the notes?
Well, we're about to find out.
Hit it, Dez.
Sometimes it feels like
you lost your swag.
You've got a "kick me" sign
covering the skills that you have.
And it all looks wrong
when you're looking down.
You get dizzy doing 360s.
And you can't break out.
Even when you feel like
you ain't all that.
Just don't forget
that I got your back.
Now turn up the beat
and bump that track.
Bump that track.
Yeah, nobody rocks it
the way that you do.
You've got style,
pop your collar.
Because you're all
kinds of cool.
You're legit, you're the boss.
Even when the mic is off.
Nobody rocks it, ro-rocks it.
The way that you do.
No, oh oh oh oh.
The way that you do.
You're off the charts...
- Here comes the high note.
- Shh! Austin's singing.
You've got the fire so
keep burning it... Up!
Nobody rocks it the
way that you do.
You've got style,
pop your collar.
Because you're all
kinds of cool.
You're legit, you're the boss.
Even when the mic is off.
Nobody rocks it, ro-rocks it.
The way that you do.
Austin Moon, I've been in
this business a long time
and talent like yours doesn't
come around every day.
How would you like a
contract with Starr Records?
Well, I'll take that as a yes?
Yes!
Then you have yourself a deal.
- Woo-hoo!
- We always knew this day would come.
That's why we got you a
giant congratulations card.
And once again, no one told me we
were getting anything for you.
Hmm. Mint?
Come on down to Moon's
Mattress Kingdom.
Where our mattresses are firm
and our prices are soft.
This week we hereby
declare all mattresses...
Half off.
Our prices are the best in town.
But don't take it from us.
Take it from Starr Records
recording artist...
Austin Moon.
Yup, their prices are
the best in town.
So come on down to
Moon's Mattress Kingdom.
There's no hassle in our Castle.
Mwah.
Oh, that's my little Prince.
Mom!
Um, guys, what are you doing?
Building the first ever musical

Hit it, Austin.

I'm not worried.
Hey, everybody. Thanks
for coming out.
This song is called...
"Break Down The Walls."
Break down the walls, whoa!
Don't be afraid to
let things fall...
Looks like we're having some
technical difficulties.
Let me try one more time.
Boo! Boo! Boo!
I don't wanna sound like a dolphin!
What should I do?
This is the toughest decision
I've ever had to make.
Decisions are easy...
Just flip a coin.
Let's see. I've got a
quarter, a nickel and a dime.
Which one should I flip?
Man! Decisions are hard to make.
Forget it, Dez.
We should probably
call Jimmy Starr,
and tell him we need a little
more time to finish our demo.
Okay, I'll handle it.
I'm your manager.
It's my job to make
your life easier.
Jimmy baby, it's Trish.
Listen, we're gonna need a
little more time with that demo.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Perfect!
- Yes!
- So we got more time?
Actually, no. He wants
it a day earlier.
I know you got your heart set
on a music career, kiddo,
but you ought a take this
throat thing as a sign.
Yeah, sweetie. Look,
we love your music,
but why take a risk when you've got a
sure thing in the family business?
I don't wanna spend my
life selling mattresses.
Don't you wanna be
part of a legacy?
Your mother and I are the
mattress King and Queen of Miami.
- You know what that makes you?
- Embarrassed?
You're the Prince of Moon's
Mattress Kingdom, and one day
- that kingdom will be yours to rule.
- Mm-hmm.
But in a few days, he could
have a deal at Starr Records.
Yeah, I'm so close, and
performing's my dream.
You get that from me. I
love to perform too.
- It's true, you do. You do.
- And you still get to do that in our job.
- Have you seen our latest commercial?
- Right.
Come on down to Moon's
Mattress Kingdom.
Where our mattresses are firm
and our prices are soft.
This week we hereby declare
all mattresses half off.
Huh? Come on, son.
Say the slogan with us.
- I don't really want to.
- Oh, come on, Prince Austin.
Moon's Mattress Kingdom.
There's no hassle in our Castle.
Mwah!
Well, son, you've got
a lot to think about.
Yeah, we'll see you
at home, sweetie.
You look so cute in
your little crown.
Your highness.
Hello.
I'm doing the procedure.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I don't want to be the mattress
Prince, and singing's my life.
What if the procedure
doesn't work?
This could end your career.
Then either way
my career's over.
I can't believe I might
never sing again.
I made up my mind.
I have to take this chance.
I don't know what I would do if I
couldn't sing the songs you write for me.
Thanks, Austin.
I'm gonna go call Dr. Grant.
'Ello, I'm Princess Ally.
Oh, of course I'll kiss you, Mr.
Frog.
- Ally!
- Uh, coming.
Oh, I can't wait to see Austin.
It's been two days
since his procedure.
Dez, are you almost done
with those balloons?
Yup, I just blew
up 100 balloons.
Now all I gotta do is tie 'em.
Austin, welcome back!
Welcome back, buddy.
What do you think
of the decorations?
Fine. Really, the
silent treatment?
I just almost sorta nearly blew
up 100 balloons for you. Pf ft!
No, the doctor put Austin
under strict vocal rest
to make sure his
throat heals properly.
He has to remain
silent for 48 hours.
Only 12 more to go.
The doctor says it's crucial
that Austin doesn't say a word.
Got it. What word?
He can't say anything.
Got it. He can't say
the word "anything."
Well, that shouldn't
be too hard.
He can't speak at all.
Maybe you should try that.
I know you can't talk, buddy, so I came
up with a foolproof communication system
using these colored scarves.
It's easy. Just wave the blue
scarf if you're thirsty.
The green is to signal danger.
The red...
Oh, wait. No, the red
is to signal danger.
The green is if you spot a snake.
Or was that the purple?
Anyway, the pink is if
you're late for prom.
Put all three of these
together if you need a coffee.
Yellow? There's a spider on your shirt?!
I'll get it.
I'm gonna get you, buddy. I'm
gonna help you. I'm helping you.
I know spiders are dangerous.
Just let me help you.
Come on. It's okay. It's okay.
Where is it? Where is it?
I brought you some hot soup to
make your throat feel better.
You're doing great.
You only have to be quiet
for six more hours.
How hard can that be?
It's okay. I'll scream for you.
"That girl is checking me out.
Help me."
Oh, I got you. I'll
take care of it.
Quit staring at my friend!
You're freaking him out!
You're welcome.
I wonder if I could not talk for 48 hours.
Granted, I'm not much of a talker.
Sure, I talk sometimes. I'm not
not a talker, but when I do...
Yeah, I couldn't do it.
Only a few hours left. I can't believe you
went two whole days without saying a word.
That's why you're
my best friend.
What up?
Austin, you talked.
I wasn't thinking.
But the 48 hours aren't up yet. Do
you think you ruined your voice?
- I don't know.
- Why do you keep talking?!
Because you keep
asking me questions!
Let's all stop talking.
We'll keep Austin quiet
for a couple more hours,
we'll record the demo and by the
time Jimmy gets here, we'll be...
Uh, guys.
Change of plans, kids.
I'm catching a plane in
an hour, so I wanted
to pop by and get that
demo a little early.
Look over there!
Run!
That's all I got.
Somebody else got a plan?
Look, Mr. Starr, I hate to say
this, but we don't have your demo.
We thought we'd have a couple
more hours to finish it.
Oh, that's too bad. I don't
have a couple more hours.
Guess I won't be
signing you after all.
Mr. Starr, wait, don't leave.
- I'm gonna perform the song live.
- What?
- Huh?
- Cool.
That works. All right,
just make it fast.
Give us five minutes.
We'll be ready.
Dez, you know what to do.
Yes. Yes, I do.
What are you doing? You haven't had
a chance to test out your voice.
What if you permanently damaged it?
What if you can't hit the notes?
Well, we're about to find out.
Hit it, Dez.
Sometimes it feels like
you lost your swag.
You've got a "kick me" sign
covering the skills that you have.
And it all looks wrong
when you're looking down.
You get dizzy doing 360s.
And you can't break out.
Even when you feel like
you ain't all that.
Just don't forget
that I got your back.
Now turn up the beat
and bump that track.
Bump that track.
Yeah, nobody rocks it
the way that you do.
You've got style,
pop your collar.
Because you're all
kinds of cool.
You're legit, you're the boss.
Even when the mic is off.
Nobody rocks it, ro-rocks it.
The way that you do.
No, oh oh oh oh.
The way that you do.
You're off the charts...
- Here comes the high note.
- Shh! Austin's singing.
You've got the fire so
keep burning it... Up!
Nobody rocks it the
way that you do.
You've got style,
pop your collar.
Because you're all
kinds of cool.
You're legit, you're the boss.
Even when the mic is off.
Nobody rocks it, ro-rocks it.
The way that you do.
Austin Moon, I've been in
this business a long time
and talent like yours doesn't
come around every day.
How would you like a
contract with Starr Records?
Well, I'll take that as a yes?
Yes!
Then you have yourself a deal.
- Woo-hoo!
- We always knew this day would come.
That's why we got you a
giant congratulations card.
And once again, no one told me we
were getting anything for you.
Hmm. Mint?
Come on down to Moon's
Mattress Kingdom.
Where our mattresses are firm
and our prices are soft.
This week we hereby
declare all mattresses...
Half off.
Our prices are the best in town.
But don't take it from us.
Take it from Starr Records
recording artist...
Austin Moon.
Yup, their prices are
the best in town.
So come on down to
Moon's Mattress Kingdom.
There's no hassle in our Castle.
Mwah.
Oh, that's my little Prince.
Mom!
