My Dad the Rock Star (2003–2004): Season 2, Episode 10 - Metamorphic Rock - full transcript

When Willy, Quincy and Alissa are assigned a group project in Science class, Willy's worst subject, Willy knows his mom's the one to help. /nHer organic lunches alone could be classified a topic of scientific study! Unfortunately, by the time the kids make it home from school, Crystal's on a surprise road trip to Vegas with a friend, and Rock's planning the party of the century. When Skunk falls ill, Willy manages to convince his dad to step up to the dirty plates, helping his father make sense of the mysterious piles of clothes on his floor, and the whereabouts of all the missing food in the fridge! Now if only Willy could stop his dad from accidentally sabotaging every one of his science projects as he attempts to take care of the house. When the new Mr. Mom tries to help out a little too much, landing the kids in hot lava with their science project at school, Rock learns that sometimes less is more. Meanwhile, a homesick Crystal learns that while Vegas is fun, there's no place like home -- and everyone at home learns there's no mom like Crystal.

(Bubbling)

(Rumbling)

(Explosion)

I cannot believe this is

happening.

QUINCY: Believe it, dawg!

This is Miss Equus we’re talking

about.

Yeah, who else would give us

a science project worth over

half of our grade for the year?

I’m doomed.

QUINCY: Yo!

Have some confidence, bro.

After all, you’ve got me and

Lys as your science partners.

Great, we’re all

doomed.

(Buzzing)

Mmm!

Who says you can’t substitute

hummus for cookie dough?

(Doorbell ringing)

Crystal, honey!

It’s so good to see you!

I cannot believe it’s been so

long!

Suzette!

Well, if it isn’t Rock Zilla!

God of Suburbia.

Hon, this is some dude ranch

you’ve got here.

Hey, Suzy Q!

Don’t tell me you’re moving to

Silent Springs, too!

No, no!

I’m here to pick up Crystal.

You ready to go, sweetie?

Go?

Go where?

SUZETTE: Wherever the road

takes us, as promised.

CRYSTAL: This is the best

road trip ever!

If we should ever part ways,

let’s meet up 20 years from

now and do it all over again.

SUZETTE: Sister, you’ve got a

deal!

(Police sirens)

Hmm.

Now, don’t tell me you

forgot.

Oh, oh, of course not.

But it was different back then.

I’ve got a family now.

Crystal, I cannot believe you

would actually break our pinkie

shake!

Hey!

No one in this house would ever

break the oath of the sacred

pinkie shake.

Right, sweetie?

(Nervous laughing)

CRYSTAL: Are you sure you can

handle this?

Abso-tutely!

Okay, see you in a few days.

SUZETTE: Yee-haw!

You sure your mom’s going to

be cool helping us out, Willy?

When it comes to his kind of

stuff, Mom’s always there for

me.

Mom’s gone?!

SERENITY: Wow, I knew you

were a dork, but who knew you

were such a mama’s boy?

ROCK: We’ll also need 500

bags of chips, and enough dip

to fill an Olympic-sized

swimming pool.

That should hold us till the

pizza gets here.

Here are my amendments to the

guest list, Daddy.

I made a few changes.

ROCK: Looks good, pumpkin.

Ah-whoo!

No parents, let’s party!

Dad, there’s still one parent

left.

Oh, yeah, right.

(Crashing)

Oof!

I guess that’s an ix-nay on the

arty-pay then, princess.

Sure thing, Daddy.

ROCK: I better find Skunk.

This place is a mess.

WILLY: Wow, Serenity, you

took that surprisingly well.

What, the party thing?

Get real.

Dad’s just having a parental

spaz attack.

He’ll come to his senses.

Yo, guess your mom won’t be

helping with our science project

after all.

Where’d she go anyway?

Knowing her, probably to

meditate on a quiet mountaintop

somewhere.

(Whooping)

So I thought maybe you could

help us do some kind of

electronic experiment?

Sure, mate.

It would be my pleasure.

Just as soon as I’m done

whipping up dinner, that is.

ROCK: Skunk, what’s on the

menu?

Eww!

Fine!

More for me, then!

You sure you’re feeling

okay, Skunk?

You don’t look so hot.

Oh, I’m aces, Willy.

I’ve--

(Coughing)

--never been sick a day of me

life.

What’s that on your forehead?

It’s nothing.

Never felt better.

(Crashing)

ROCK: So, what are you doing

on the floor?

Oh, blimey!

This is most embarr...

Dad, this is terrible.

I know!

DOCTOR: Well, I’d say your

friend here has a simple bout

of the flu, mixed with the

measles, mumps, and chicken pox.

He’ll need plenty of bed rest, a

mustard plaster for the flu, an

oatmeal wrap for the pox, and an

ice pack for the mumps, and

don’t let him scratch!

B-but he can’t be sick!

Skunk, how can you do this to

me?

I need you!

Oh, are we at the circus,

Mumsy?

I want to see the clowns.

(Coughing)

No!

Ouch.

Sorry.

SUZETTE: Wowee!

I wouldn’t throw this place out

of bed for eating crackers!

CRYSTAL: I’ll say!

I think my aura just expanded by

four inches.

And the best part is, we don’t

even have to do the dishes!

Ugh!

Crystal’s only been gone a day,

and this place is a pig sty!

WILLY: Don’t worry, Dad.

Just ask yourself what Mom would

do.

Good tip!

And then what?

WILLY: And then do it.

Right.

Gotcha!

That’s the spirit, Dad.

You just have to step up to the

plate and take charge.

But-but which plate?

They’re everywhere!

ROCK: Here you go, Willy,

my boy!

Dad, what is this?

Green eggs and lamb, your

favourite!

It’s Green Eggs and Ham and

that was my favourite book, not

breakfast.

Gotta run, Q and Alyssa will be

here any minute, we’re going to

work on our project.

Eugh!

I think I just fell asleep

with my eyes open.

Studying the cleaning habits

of mice isn’t exactly a

laugh-a-minute thrill ride, is

it?

Wait!

Guys, we got something!

(Vacuum whirring)

Woo!

Looks like I saved you having to

clean the cage!

WILLY: Right, thanks, Dad.

ROCK: Hey, that’s what I’m

here for.

SUZETTE: What are we going to

do today, sug?

I think you mean what aren’t

we going to do today!

(Giggling)

(Audience gasping)

(Audience cheering)

(Cheering)

SUZETTE: Nice snag, hon!

Guess it’s your turn to get

married next, huh?

Relax, I’m just pulling your

leg!

I know, I just wonder how

Rock and the kids are doing

without me.

(Skunk groaning)

ROCK: Don’t you worry,

Skunk.

I’ll be right here by your side

until you pull through.

Even if it takes--

(Phone ringing)

Whoops, gotta go!

Oh, Mumsy.

(Phone ringing)

Yello?

CRYSTAL: Rock?

Crystal, baby!

How are ya?

Suzette and I are having a

ball!

How’s everything at home?

Are you kidding?

Things couldn’t be going better!

Hey, didn’t I tell you not to

worry about us?

CRYSTAL: I know.

I guess I just thought, maybe...

Is that water I hear?

Huh?

Uh, yeah, uh, I’m in the

shower.

Listen, honey, I still need to

rinse and repeat.

Have fun, see you when you get

home, bye!

CRYSTAL: Okay, sweetie.

Say hi to the...

(Dial tone)

...kids for me.

SUZETTE: What’s the word on

the home front?

Sounds like they’re doing

just fine without me.

(Sighing)

Didn’t I tell you?

Now, can we please get this

wagon-train back on the party

trail?

Ugh, this is hopeless!

We’ll never find a new project

idea.

Hey, Willy!

WILLY: Ow.

The weirdest thing just

happened.

I opened the fridge to get a

snack, and it was empty.

Freaky.

I guess you’ll just have to

go to the grocery store.

ROCK: I see.

Tell me more of this mysterious

"grocery store."

Ah-whoo!

Look out, coming through!

CLERK: Clean-up in Aisle One.

(Crashing)

CLERK: Two.

(Crashing)

CLERK: Three.

(Crashing)

CLERK: And four.

WILLY: What are you doing

here?

Well, if it isn’t the Odd

Squad.

Looks like you’re all stocked

up for your study group, was it?

As a matter of fact, that’s

exactly--

Hey, Serenity.

Can’t wait till that big party

at your house tomorrow.

You were saying?

SERENITY: Whatever!

Once Daddy sees the party in all

it’s glory, he’ll be totally

into it.

You’ll see.

Dad may surprise you.

ROCK: Hey, Willy!

This is awesome!

(Crashing)

You were saying?

ROCK: Oh, hello, red thong.

I wouldn’t want you to feel left

out.

(Whistling)

ALYSSA: Constructing a model

solar system was a great choice,

Willy.

Hmm.

(Grunting)

(Dishwasher whirring)

(Rumbling)

Huh?

Uh-oh.

(Splattering)

(Groaning)

(Gasping)

ROCK: Uh, look on the bright

side.

They say pink is the new black.

Back to the drawing board

again.

Ah, gay Paree!

Rock proposed to me in Paris.

So you’ve mentioned, at least

five times already.

CRYSTAL: I can’t help it.

Rock’s my soul mate.

I miss him and the kids.

Well, let’s see if old

Suzette can’t find a cure for

the homesick blues!

ROCK: Hmm, I think it’s high

time we change that mustard

plaster.

Fast or slow?

Fast it is!

(Screaming)

Dude, what was that?

Trust me, it’s always better

if you don’t know.

Yech!

Yo, is that a waffle

sandwich?

With cheese.

And look, it’s still in the

wrapper.

Bonus.

Huh?

(Rumbling)

Eww!

Ugh!

Only my dad can turn an

innocent soup thermos into a

fireworks display.

Hey, you know, this gives me

an idea for a new science

project.

(Pumping)

It’s missing a bit of "oomph."

You need a hand?

Explosions are my specialty.

Uh, thanks, Dad, but we’ve

got this one under control.

(Dance music)

Hold that thought!

(Gasping)

Oh!

(Dance music)

But, but...

Hey, Daddy.

Glad you could make it!

I told you you couldn’t have

a party!

That’s true, Daddy, but why

dwell on the past when there’s

an awesome party in your future?

CROWD: Rock Zilla!

Rock Zilla!

Rock Zilla!

Go on, Daddy, give them a

thrill.

You know you want to.

Don’t look at me.

You’re the parent here.

This...

(Clearing throat)

...party is o--o--

over.

(Music stopping)

(Gasping)

You’re all grounded.

(Sobbing)

(Crowd groaning)

WILLY: Hey, Dad, I’m really

proud of you.

You really proved yourself

tonight.

Wow, thanks, Willy.

(Yawning)

Well, I’m going to hit the

sack.

I have my big science

presentation to do tomorrow.

(Rumbling)

(Explosion)

(Laughing)

Rock Zilla, you are on a

roll.

This thing will blow way the

competition for sure.

Willy’s going to love this!

(Groaning)

(Screaming)

Maybe we’ll get points for

having such an interactive

project.

Then again...

Dad!

(Whistling)

(Coughing)

Looking good!

And the Dad of the Year award

goes to...

WILLY: Dad!

Thanks for the help with the

volcano, Dad.

Um, I don’t supposed that F

stands for "Fantastic"?

Willy, wait!

I can fix this, just let me

help!

(Sighing)

PRINCIPAL: There’s nothing I

can do, Zilla, as much as I’m

not surprised to hear that it

was you who instigated our

little lava flow problem.

The fact remains that all grades

are final.

(Gasping)

Period.

ROCK: Yeah, well, I ain’t

leaving till you give Willy

another chance.

The truth is I’ve been

waiting for the opportunity to

see you squirm ever since you

set me on fire!

Hey, I put you right out!

Willy and his friends

will just have to make up the

grade in summer school.

School?

In the summer?

That’s barbaric!

Look, this is all my fault.

Why punish the kids for my

mistake?

There must be something I can

do, anything, just give Willy

and his friends another chance.

That’s the last of it.

Alright, Zilla.

They have until first thing

tomorrow morning to come up

with a new project.

Awesome!

But mark my words, if Willy

continues to follow in your

footsteps, I guarantee he’ll

end up on the road to

Nowheresville.

Nowheresville?

I played a concert there once,

man.

That place sucked!

SUZETTE: Woo-hoo!

You’re right, this does have

some serious horsepower.

Or should I say, hunk-power?

(Sad music)

Well, we better get going, then,

if I’m going to have you home in

time for breakfast.

Really?

Oh, Suzie, thank you!

We can always try again in

another 20 years.

Now, what’s say we take the

shortcut back to shore for old

times sake?

You’re on!

WILLY: Dad, the house looks

great!

You’ve really come a long way.

ALYSSA: Too bad we haven’t.

We’re running out of time and

still no project.

ROCK: Whoops!

Guess I missed a spot.

Hmm, would you look at that?

I’d say this is Rhizopus

nigracans, the most common type

of bread mould.

And I should know!

Man, did I see my share of mould

on the tour bus!

WILLY: Wait, Dad!

You just gave me a great idea.

Can we have that?

It’s all yours, pal.

Great!

Come on, guys, we’ve got work to

do.

And to sum up our results, heat,

moisture, and light variables

cause vastly different growth

patterns among common mould

samples.

(Clapping)

ROCK: An A+, huh?

If only I’d known you could get

an A for growing mould when I

was a kid.

I knew you had it in you,

Willy.

Thanks, Dad.

Eww, gross!

Mould isn’t gross, Serenity,

it’s perfectly natural.

SERENITY: Um, yeah, I wasn’t

talking about the mould.

(Door opening)

CRYSTAL: Hi, everyone!

Hi, Mom!

SERENITY: Totally glad you’re

back!

ROCK: Yeah!

We missed you like crazy!

Well, I missed you guys, too,

with every ounce of my psyche!

So, there were no problems while

I was gone?

Nope.

Uh-uh.

Is that true, Skunk?

Yes, far as I remember.

(Rumbling)

(Gasping)

Ahh!

What can I say?

I’m a work in progress.
