Austin & Ally (2011–2016): Season 2, Episode 15 - Solos & Stray Kitties - full transcript
Unable to talk Austin's boss into signing Ally up as a performer, Trish gets her an alternate deal with a woman named Val which proves to be less than desirable when she and the team find out she's being forced into playing the goth member of a shallow all-girl group called "The Stray Kitties," and can't get out of the contract. Meanwhile, Dez falls madly in love with one of the members of that group, and goes out of his way to win her heart... which seems like it may actually work.
Subs created by: David Coleman.
Hey, Ally. Want to go to the zoo
later and laugh at the monkeys?
Can't. I'm meeting a
record label on Wednesday
and I still have to finish
three songs for my demo.
And my dad's out sick, so now I
have to watch the store, and...
Are you guys putting
salami on cereal?
Yep. We couldn't decide if we wanted
breakfast or lunch, so we're having both.
We call it "blunch".
Mmm.
Frosted crispy bites and salami.
Is there a better combination?
How can you eat that?
Oh, she's right. We
forgot the mustard.
Mm.
Oh.
Guess who got a job as a
Pioneer Rangers Troop Leader?
Let me rephrase that.
Guess whose mom forced her
to get a non-paying job
as her brother's Pioneer
Rangers Troop Leader?
Sorry. I know how much you
don't like the outdoors.
Or your little brother.
I used to be a Pioneer Ranger. But I
got kicked out after a camping trip.
Apparently bird baths
are for "birds only".
One of my biggest regrets is that I
never earned a single merit badge.
Well, today hasn't
been a total loss.
In addition to learning how to make
an outdoor bathroom out of rocks,
I actually booked Austin
on "Video Countdown Live".
Awesome!
The video countdown thing. Not
the outdoor bathroom thing.
You guys have to write a new song because
Austin's gonna be on "New Music Tuesday".
A new song for
Austin by Tuesday?
I'm already working on
three songs for myself.
A little trivia, know why they
call it "New Music Tuesday?"
Because people play their new
music and it's on a Tuesday?
Oh... you already know.
♪ 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.
All right, rangers, if you
want your Knot Tying Badge,
you're gonna have to be able to
complete the Impossible Knot.
Please. Already finished.
Impossible Knot...
Impossible not!
It's easy to tie.
It's impossible to untie.
Aw man.
Hi, Trish. I'm here for
the pie eater rangers.
Nelson, it's the Pioneer Rangers,
not the pie eater rangers.
Aw, nartz.
You know how long it took
to bake this key lime pie?
Oh, cool. You're having a
Pioneer Rangers meeting.
Oh, I haven't been to
one of those in years.
Mind if I join?
Sure.
Hey J.J., why don't you show Dez
how to tie an Impossible Knot?
Why do they call it
an Impossible Knot?
You'll see.
So Austin, how's the new song coming?
The show's tomorrow night.
We haven't started yet,
but I'm not worried.
Ally and I have written
songs in a day before.
So Ally, when can we start?
Well, I still have to finish
my songs for my demo,
but I think I could
squeeze you in at 4:30.
- Great.
- A.M.
Not so great.
I know. Why don't I
just write the song?
Are you sure? You've never written
a song by yourself before.
Maybe it's time I did.
Austin, I can help you with
your song and then finish mine.
No no. You've got
too much to do.
Seriously, I can write a song.
I've been learning from the best
songwriter in the business.
Can't argue with that.
But still...
Ally. I'm Austin Moon.
I can do anything.
Oh yeah.
Can you untie an
Impossible Knot?
Why don't you just
use these scissors?
Oh yeah. Duh.
I would have brought
them to you.
Oh.
Okay, Austin. I got you a couple of
things to help you with your songwriting.
Here's some paper and some pencils
for you to write down your ideas.
I sharpened them.
Cool. Thanks.
Oh, and I packed you a
lunch and some snacks.
Ally, I'm not a little kid.
Ooh, pudding!
I'll be fine.
Hey, buddy. How's the
songwriting going?
Oh! Pudding!
So, how's the songwriting going?
Let me show you
what I have so far.
That's all I got.
Can I be honest?
I think it still
needs a lot of work.
What am I gonna do? I need a song
by tomorrow, and I have nothing.
I know you can write a song.
You just need someone
to bounce ideas off of.
Huh? Try me.
Okay. Let's start with the melody.
What do you think of this?
- Man, that's "the alphabet song".
- Yeah, but it's really catchy.
♪ A, b, h, I...
♪ J, k, z...
♪ W, x...
♪ P.
♪ E-e-e...
How does painting your nails
earn us a Lifesaving Badge?
My regular mani-pedi
girl is out sick today.
So you guys are
totally lifesavers.
I think you just need
some inspiration.
Let's go see a horror movie!
Hey, Austin. Jett Deely just
called to say he's really excited
that you're performing on "Video
Countdown Live" tomorrow.
So how's the new song coming?
Great. I'm almost finished.
Yep. Except for the music, the lyrics,
and a song title, it's pretty much done.
Well, you better get cracking.
All right, troop. Who wants
to earn their Science Badge?
Cool! Are we going to a museum?
Nope. But you get to do
my science homework.
You're kind of lazy, aren't you?
Let's go.
So...
Should we go see
that horror movie?
I don't think
anything's gonna help.
Don't give up now. Always remember
the Pioneer Ranger motto.
- What is it?
- I have no idea.
Let me check the handbook.
Oh.
"Be strong, be brave,
always behave.
Be loyal, be kind, leave
no ranger behind".
Hey, that almost
sounds like a song.
Maybe there's something in that
book that will inspire us.
Well, it took all night,
but we finished it.
Yep. I didn't think we'd get
through a whole case of pudding.
But we did.
No, the song. Let's
play it one more time.
♪ If you're alone in the woods,
and you feel you're in danger...
♪ What do you do?
♪ - Look for a ranger.
- Look for a ranger.
Woo.
Awesome. You know where that
song would sound great?
At a Pioneer Rangers meeting.
You know where that
song won't sound great?
On live TV in front
of a million people.
Hey, buddy. Look on
the bright side.
I found another cup of pudding.
Splitsies?!
What am I gonna do, Dez? I don't
have a song to perform tonight.
Just tell Ally you
need her help.
I can't. I made such a big deal
that I could write on my own.
I'm Austin Moon. I'm supposed
to be able to do anything.
So just tell her you're
not Austin Moon.
Why'd you take my fork?
I'm trying to get
my Recycling Badge.
Want it back?
You want me to use a dirty
fork out of the trash?
I'm not an animal.
If you're too proud to
ask for Ally's help,
you need to figure out a way
to get her to offer her help.
How do I do that?
Just play her the
horrible song you wrote.
She'll feel so bad that you failed,
there's no way she won't help you.
And boy did you fail miserably.
Hey, we wrote that
song together.
Oh yeah.
Now that you mention it, the
parts I wrote weren't too bad.
Hey, Trish. I did it. I finished
writing all the songs for my demo.
That's great, Ally.
Hey, these rangers are about
to earn their Chore Badges.
Got anything you want washed,
polished, or cooked?
We're supposed to
be Pioneer Rangers.
Not your personal assistants.
Yeah.
If you don't teach us some survival
skills, I'm gonna tell mom.
Here's a survival skill.
Tell mom and you won't survive.
- We'll go do your laundry.
- Mm-hmm.
You really have a way with kids.
It's the wrong way,
but it's a way.
Ally! I did it. I wrote a song.
I am so proud of you, Austin.
You said you didn't need
my help, and you didn't.
I remember.
Because I made a pretty
big deal about it.
Here, I'll play it for you.
We want your honest opinion.
If there's any little thing
you want to have changed,
even if it's the whole song...
Feel free.
♪ If you're alone in the woods,
♪ and you feel you're in danger.
♪ What do you do?
♪ - Look for a ranger.
- Look for a ranger.
♪ If you're kicked by a
moose, don't call a stranger.
♪ What do you do?
♪ - Look for a ranger!
- Look for a ranger!
Wow.
That's...
Your song.
It uh, rhymes.
So what do you think?
I...
Love it. It is so catchy.
So is chicken pox.
Trish.
Can I talk to you for a sec?
You can't make fun
of Austin's song.
It's terrible.
I know, but it's the first song he ever
wrote by himself, and he loves it.
Well, if he performs that song on
live TV, his career will be crushed.
And I can't believe
Ally liked the song.
She was supposed to hate it
and then write me a new one.
Well...
She is the songwriter.
Maybe it's better than we think?
Maybe.
- No way.
- It's terrible.
Austin?
I have something
horrible to tell you.
Your song is...
Awful!
Just terrible.
And why are you so
happy about that?
I'm not! I just figured if I
said it with a smile on my face,
it wouldn't hurt your
feelings as much.
Huh. Kind of worked. Weird.
Look, I know the song stinks.
Can you help me write a new
one before the show tonight?
Austin, there's not enough time.
But I just finished
my demo songs.
Maybe you can use one of those.
- I can't take one of your songs.
- Austin, really. I want you to.
No, really. I can't. These
songs are too girly.
"Putting on my makeup for
a night on the town.
Crushing on a boy, I
hope he's around".
Yeah. It sounds better
when I sing it.
Maybe I just have to call
"Video Countdown Live"
and come up with an excuse to
get out of doing the show.
Oh, I've got a great excuse for you.
Tell them your grandma...
Got abducted by an alien.
Well that's the dumbest
excuse I've ever heard.
Oh yeah?
Tell that to my grandma.
Well, I wish I could help
you figure this out,
but I have to go take
the rangers camping.
That's it. Austin, just tell Jett
Deely you have to reschedule,
because you're volunteering
with a Scout Troop.
That's good, Ally. Man,
you're getting good at lying.
I know! Oh no.
Okay. Great.
What did he say?
Well, he bought the story that
I'm taking the kids camping.
- That's great.
- What a relief.
- Problem solved.
- And since I can't come to the show,
he's bringing the show to me.
He's gonna film me singing my
new song at the campground.
- That's awful.
- We're doomed.
We're going camping! Woo!
Are you sure you can't use one of
the new songs I've been working on?
Wait. How about this one?
♪ Driving in my car,
top rolled down.
♪ Hanging with my friends,
night on the town.
♪ I'm a girl, I'm a girl.
♪ I'm a girl.
Okay, maybe you can't.
What am I gonna do? Jett's gonna film
me in like two hours at the campsite.
Check it out. Still fits.
Aren't you a little old
to be a Pioneer Ranger?
Hey, from a boy to a man, you're a
Pioneer Ranger as long as you stand.
I'm ready to go camping.
Aw, nartz.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing!
My Teddy Bear's name is Nartz.
Aw, nartz.
Why are you making me
bring our whole house?
We're only staying one night.
We're staying there overnight?
You're gonna have to go
back and get my bed.
When we get to camp, you can't just
watch TV and take a bubble bath.
We have badges to earn, like
bird calling, and music.
Hey. Those badges
give me an idea.
Oh, me too. I love
calling birds.
Hello, Miami zoo?
No. The Music Badge.
Austin, you can tell Jett Deely you wrote
"the ranger song" as a gift for the kids.
I can teach the troop
to sing backup for you.
That's a great idea.
Rangers, line up.
Let me try that again.
Get in a line before I make
you drop and give me 20!
And not push-ups. Dollars!
Move it!
Austin, what are you doing?
I don't know. She scared me.
Did I do this right?
Aw, nartz.
Looks good to me.
- Nelson!
- Nelson!
Dez!
You used all the marshmallows
for our S'mores.
I'm making an authentic marshmallow
teepee like some Native American tribes.
Austin Moon.
Ready to go live?
Uh, yeah. Sure. Just give
me a few minutes to...
And we're live. I'm Jett Deely.
Countdown Live's New Music Tuesday...
We're broadcasting from the
Pioneer Ranger campsite,
with special guest Austin Moon.
Great to be here, Jett. I'm gonna sing
a special song I wrote for these kids.
Keep that in mind
when you hear it.
Austin Moon is so generous.
Oh hey, there is Ally Dawson,
Austin's songwriter.
Didn't write this one.
And I'm not his manager
for this one either.
And I'm not his friend
for this one either.
Okay. Ready, rangers?
♪ If you're alone in the woods,
and you feel you're in danger.
♪ What do you do?
♪ - Call a Pioneer Ranger!
- Call a Pioneer Ranger!
♪ If you're kicked by a
moose, don't call a stranger.
♪ What do you do?
♪ - Call a Pioneer Ranger!
- Call a Pioneer Ranger!
♪ If your bike's got a flat,
and you need a tire changer.
♪ What do you do?
♪ - Call a Pioneer Ranger!
- Call a Pioneer Ranger!
♪ A Pioneer Ranger!
♪ A Pioneer Ranger!
♪ Yeah!
Woo!
- That was an awesome song, Austin.
- Woo!
All right. That's Austin Moon with
a song he wrote just for the kids.
- Thanks for having me. Had a lot of fun.
- Well hey, the fun's just getting started.
Huh? I thought that
was all the fun.
When we come back, Austin's
gonna sing his real new song.
Back live in two minutes.
What am I gonna do?
Hey, when your career's in
danger, you know what to do.
Call a Pioneer Ranger.
Wait. That's it.
We can use the Pioneer Rangers to stall
Jett and his crew and stop the broadcast.
Great idea.
Hey, Jett.
J.J. wants to show you
his Impossible Knot.
Ooh.
You're getting
good at being bad.
I know! Oh no.
Very impressive, kid.
Oh, okay. Now untie me.
Sorry, dude. I haven't
earned my untying badge yet.
Guys, come help
me out over here.
There are some scissors
in that tent over there.
Nelson, why don't you show them?
This will work. We just have to keep
them occupied till the show's over.
I just hope the show's over before that
bear finishes eating my marshmallow teepee.
He looks hungry.
Bear?!
Run for your lives!
We can't just leave Jett tied up here.
What do we do?
If it's a black bear, you're
supposed to make a lot of noise.
If it's a brown bear,
you play dead.
- What color is it?
- I think it's black.
Ah!
Or maybe it's dark brown.
Making noise!
Playing dead.
Making noise!
Playing dead.
Making noise!
Playing dead.
- Ah!
- Run!
Help! Still tied up here.
Oh!
Quick, untie me.
You're in luck, because I
spent all night last night
learning how to untie
the Impossible Knot.
Faster!
You're in luck because I
spent all last night...
No, untie me!
Woo. That was a close call.
I'm glad Jett and the
rangers all made it out.
I guess you could say
we "bear" ly escaped.
Too soon?
No amount of time
will make that funny.
Look, I'm really sorry
that I didn't have
enough time to help you
write your new song.
I get it. You've got your
own music to focus on now.
We'll just have to figure
out how to make this work.
I hope so, because...
I'm always gonna need you, Ally.
That's so sweet, Austin.
Bear hug?
I can't imagine writing
songs without you.
It would be un "bear" able.
How many more of those
bear jokes do you have?
Eh, six or seven.
All right, J.J., here's your Knot
Tying Badge, your Music Badge...
And your pretty cool
Little Brother Badge.
Thanks, sis.
Oh, by the way, I need you to
hike my tub and TV back home.
I knew there was a catch.
Nelson, you're next. Here is
your Track and Field Badge.
- When that bear showed up, you...
- Cool!
Really ran fast.
My turn!
And now for our honorary
Pioneer Ranger.
We've got the Music Badge,
the Recycling Badge...
The Architecture Badge,
and the Lifesaving Badge.
Finally. I got my merit badges.
Woo!
Run for your lives!
Ah!
Hey, Ally. Want to go to the zoo
later and laugh at the monkeys?
Can't. I'm meeting a
record label on Wednesday
and I still have to finish
three songs for my demo.
And my dad's out sick, so now I
have to watch the store, and...
Are you guys putting
salami on cereal?
Yep. We couldn't decide if we wanted

Oh, she's right. We

Ally! I did it. I wrote a song.
I am so proud of you, Austin.
You said you didn't need
my help, and you didn't.
I remember.
Because I made a pretty
big deal about it.
Here, I'll play it for you.
We want your honest opinion.
If there's any little thing
you want to have changed,
even if it's the whole song...
Feel free.
♪ If you're alone in the woods,
♪ and you feel you're in danger.
♪ What do you do?
♪ - Look for a ranger.
- Look for a ranger.
♪ If you're kicked by a
moose, don't call a stranger.
♪ What do you do?
♪ - Look for a ranger!
- Look for a ranger!
Wow.
That's...
Your song.
It uh, rhymes.
So what do you think?
I...
Love it. It is so catchy.
So is chicken pox.
Trish.
Can I talk to you for a sec?
You can't make fun
of Austin's song.
It's terrible.
I know, but it's the first song he ever
wrote by himself, and he loves it.
Well, if he performs that song on
live TV, his career will be crushed.
And I can't believe
Ally liked the song.
She was supposed to hate it
and then write me a new one.
Well...
She is the songwriter.
Maybe it's better than we think?
Maybe.
- No way.
- It's terrible.
Austin?
I have something
horrible to tell you.
Your song is...
Awful!
Just terrible.
And why are you so
happy about that?
I'm not! I just figured if I
said it with a smile on my face,
it wouldn't hurt your
feelings as much.
Huh. Kind of worked. Weird.
Look, I know the song stinks.
Can you help me write a new
one before the show tonight?
Austin, there's not enough time.
But I just finished
my demo songs.
Maybe you can use one of those.
- I can't take one of your songs.
- Austin, really. I want you to.
No, really. I can't. These
songs are too girly.
"Putting on my makeup for
a night on the town.
Crushing on a boy, I
hope he's around".
Yeah. It sounds better
when I sing it.
Maybe I just have to call
"Video Countdown Live"
and come up with an excuse to
get out of doing the show.
Oh, I've got a great excuse for you.
Tell them your grandma...
Got abducted by an alien.
Well that's the dumbest
excuse I've ever heard.
Oh yeah?
Tell that to my grandma.
Well, I wish I could help
you figure this out,
but I have to go take
the rangers camping.
That's it. Austin, just tell Jett
Deely you have to reschedule,
because you're volunteering
with a Scout Troop.
That's good, Ally. Man,
you're getting good at lying.
I know! Oh no.
Okay. Great.
What did he say?
Well, he bought the story that
I'm taking the kids camping.
- That's great.
- What a relief.
- Problem solved.
- And since I can't come to the show,
he's bringing the show to me.
He's gonna film me singing my
new song at the campground.
- That's awful.
- We're doomed.
We're going camping! Woo!
Are you sure you can't use one of
the new songs I've been working on?
Wait. How about this one?
♪ Driving in my car,
top rolled down.
♪ Hanging with my friends,
night on the town.
♪ I'm a girl, I'm a girl.
♪ I'm a girl.
Okay, maybe you can't.
What am I gonna do? Jett's gonna film
me in like two hours at the campsite.
Check it out. Still fits.
Aren't you a little old
to be a Pioneer Ranger?
Hey, from a boy to a man, you're a
Pioneer Ranger as long as you stand.
I'm ready to go camping.
Aw, nartz.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing!
My Teddy Bear's name is Nartz.
Aw, nartz.
Why are you making me
bring our whole house?
We're only staying one night.
We're staying there overnight?
You're gonna have to go
back and get my bed.
When we get to camp, you can't just
watch TV and take a bubble bath.
We have badges to earn, like
bird calling, and music.
Hey. Those badges
give me an idea.
Oh, me too. I love
calling birds.
Hello, Miami zoo?
No. The Music Badge.
Austin, you can tell Jett Deely you wrote
"the ranger song" as a gift for the kids.
I can teach the troop
to sing backup for you.
That's a great idea.
Rangers, line up.
Let me try that again.
Get in a line before I make
you drop and give me 20!
And not push-ups. Dollars!
Move it!
Austin, what are you doing?
I don't know. She scared me.
Did I do this right?
Aw, nartz.
Looks good to me.
- Nelson!
- Nelson!
Dez!
You used all the marshmallows
for our S'mores.
I'm making an authentic marshmallow
teepee like some Native American tribes.
Austin Moon.
Ready to go live?
Uh, yeah. Sure. Just give
me a few minutes to...
And we're live. I'm Jett Deely.
Countdown Live's New Music Tuesday...
We're broadcasting from the
Pioneer Ranger campsite,
with special guest Austin Moon.
Great to be here, Jett. I'm gonna sing
a special song I wrote for these kids.
Keep that in mind
when you hear it.
Austin Moon is so generous.
Oh hey, there is Ally Dawson,
Austin's songwriter.
Didn't write this one.
And I'm not his manager
for this one either.
And I'm not his friend
for this one either.
Okay. Ready, rangers?
♪ If you're alone in the woods,
and you feel you're in danger.

Woo!
- That was an awesome song, Austin.
- Woo!
All right. That's Austin Moon with
a song he wrote just for the kids.
- Thanks for having me. Had a lot of fun.
- Well hey, the fun's just getting started.
Huh? I thought that
was all the fun.
When we come back, Austin's
gonna sing his real new song.
Back live in two minutes.
What am I gonna do?
Hey, when your career's in
danger, you know what to do.
Call a Pioneer Ranger.
Wait. That's it.
We can use the Pioneer Rangers to stall
Jett and his crew and stop the broadcast.
Great idea.
Hey, Jett.
J.J. wants to show you
his Impossible Knot.
Ooh.
You're getting
good at being bad.
I know! Oh no.
Very impressive, kid.
Oh, okay. Now untie me.
Sorry, dude. I haven't
earned my untying badge yet.
Guys, come help
me out over here.
There are some scissors
in that tent over there.
Nelson, why don't you show them?
This will work. We just have to keep
them occupied till the show's over.
I just hope the show's over before that
bear finishes eating my marshmallow teepee.
He looks hungry.
Bear?!
Run for your lives!
We can't just leave Jett tied up here.
What do we do?
If it's a black bear, you're
supposed to make a lot of noise.
If it's a brown bear,
you play dead.
- What color is it?
- I think it's black.
Ah!
Or maybe it's dark brown.
Making noise!
Playing dead.
Making noise!
Playing dead.
Making noise!
Playing dead.
- Ah!
- Run!
Help! Still tied up here.
Oh!
Quick, untie me.
You're in luck, because I
spent all night last night
learning how to untie
the Impossible Knot.
Faster!
You're in luck because I
spent all last night...
No, untie me!
Woo. That was a close call.
I'm glad Jett and the
rangers all made it out.
I guess you could say
we "bear" ly escaped.
Too soon?
No amount of time
will make that funny.
Look, I'm really sorry
that I didn't have
enough time to help you
write your new song.
I get it. You've got your
own music to focus on now.
We'll just have to figure
out how to make this work.
I hope so, because...
I'm always gonna need you, Ally.
That's so sweet, Austin.
Bear hug?
I can't imagine writing
songs without you.
It would be un "bear" able.
How many more of those
bear jokes do you have?
Eh, six or seven.
All right, J.J., here's your Knot
Tying Badge, your Music Badge...
And your pretty cool
Little Brother Badge.
Thanks, sis.
Oh, by the way, I need you to
hike my tub and TV back home.
I knew there was a catch.
Nelson, you're next. Here is
your Track and Field Badge.
- When that bear showed up, you...
- Cool!
Really ran fast.
My turn!
And now for our honorary
Pioneer Ranger.
We've got the Music Badge,
the Recycling Badge...
The Architecture Badge,
and the Lifesaving Badge.
Finally. I got my merit badges.
Woo!
Run for your lives!
Ah!
