My Dad the Rock Star (2003–2004): Season 2, Episode 3 - The Sound of Zilla - full transcript
With a Swiss exchange student en route to billet with the Zilla's for International Student Week, Willy does his best to make sure she'll feel at home. After all, not many people have lived with a seven-foot tall, fire-snorting, billionaire rock star of a dad! What Willy doesn't expect is that he's soon to feel like the stranger in a strange land! After a day of Maria's home-style cooking and practical lederhosen, Rock, Crystal and Skunk decide it's structure they've been lacking in their lives, and before long the Zilla household has become one of rules, schedules, and curfews! Just when the week is almost over, Willy discovers Rock has invited Maria's parents and their goat to move in, leaving Willy and Serenity wondering if the Zilla family will ever be the same again. Meanwhile, as Maria leads the Zilla's in "Sound of Music" sing-a-longs, Quincy and Alissa decide they're each much better suited for the other's foreign exchange student. However, after attempting to stage a trade, the two friends realize they're the one's who have been swapped.

(Kids chattering)
As you’re aware, you’ll all
be billeting a student from
abroad for our first annual
international student week.
Remember, our visiting students
will be arriving at your houses
tonight.
So please, make sure they feel
at home.
Yeah right, they’d have to be
from another planet to feel at
home at my house.
(Laughing)
(Ringing)
Who would your dream exchange
student be?
It doesn’t matter.
I just hope they’re not easily
intimidated by a seven foot tall
middle aged man in make-up and
platform boots.
Or it could be a long week.
Yeah, well I hope I get a
star basketball player.
You know, someone I can shoot
hoops with.
What?
Who do you want?
It doesn’t matter to me.
As long as they’re from some
place interesting.
This is supposed to be a
cultural experience after all.
♪
Dad.
Hey, Dad.
♪
What?
Haven’t you ever pretended to be
a rock star?
Dad, you are a rock star.
Doesn’t mean I can’t still
pretend once in a while, does
it?
So what can I do for you, Willy
my man.
Our international student is
going to be arriving soon.
International what now?
I know I ordered a new
acoustic guitar.
I don’t remember ordering any
student.
Dad, I told you about this.
It was organized by my school
and well, I was hoping that
maybe you and mom could try to
act a little more normal this
week.
No problemo, Willy.
Hey, I’m still getting my new
guitar though, right?
(Doorbell ringing)
Whoa, now that’s fast service.
(Groaning)
Oh, right.
♪
You are "Villy?"
Hello, my name is Maria Liesel
Rigita Margarita.
I am so happy to be here to meet
you and your "vunderful" family.
My wonderful family?
We’re uh very happy to have you
here, Maria Liesel Briga...
Ooh.
(Screaming)
Hey, hello, I’m Serge here
from Russia.
(Kissing)
Bro, yo, maybe we can stick
to high fives from now on.
So tell me a bit about yourself,
Serge.
I mean, you wouldn’t happen to
be a basketball player would
you?
No, I’m afraid not, between
my school dance club and art
lessons, I don’t have much extra
time.
Dance club and art lessons
huh?
Serge, that sounds very, dare I
say, cultural.
I think I know someone you
should meet.
(Doorbell ringing)
Hello, my name is Adjani.
I am from Kenya.
You are Alyssa?
Yes, very nice to meet you,
Adjani.
Welcome to Silent Springs.
Thank you, I am very happy to
be here.
I’d love to learn about your
country, and your culture.
What are your interests?
I’m actually very interested
in marine life.
♪
Wow, you must play a mean
game of basketball.
Do I know someone who would love
to meet you.
No, no.
Aww, come on.
Dad, will you please stop it.
And Maria, please put down the
bratwurst.
(Chewing)
Maria, wait.
Please, Maria, give my family
a second chance.
They’re not really as different
as they seem.
I’m so sorry, I’m not sure I
be fitting in here, "Villy."
Believe me, some days I’m not
sure I fit in here either.
But if you just be yourself and
make yourself at home, I know it
will all work out.
Okay, "Villy" for you...
Ooh.
I try.
Willy: This is my dad.
And this is my pet lizard.
My dad has green hair.
(Belching)
My lizard has green skin.
(Belching)
Both are harmless.
Can you tell them apart?
I think, finally, yes.
Good, ’cause here comes the
rest of my family.
This is Skunk.
Hello, young miss.
And my mom, Crystal.
And this is my sister, Serenity.
Wow, I’ve never seen such an
authentic take on the new
peasant look.
Ah mmm.
You poor dear, your spiritual
epicentre is completely off
kilter.
Did you have a bad flight.
Is there anything I can do?
No mom, I think we’ve all
done more than enough.
(Cuckoo clock ringing)
My father is a clock maker.
We always like to know the time.
Watch: Woo hoo.
Woo hoo.
Woo hoo.
Woo hoo.
One of my merchandising
ideas.
Never really took off.
Maria, let me show you to
your room.
(Grunting)
Right this way, Miss, if you
please.
I’ve asked Maria to be
herself and to make herself at
home.
So will you please go along with
her?
Sure thing, Kid-o.
Of course, Sweetie.
I’d like to go along with
her.
To the mall.
She’s in definite need of a new
outfit.
Like one from this century.
(Snoring)
Maria: "Villy," time for
breakfast.
Time for breakfast?
It’s never time for anything in
this house.
Huh?
Hey, cool.
A gift from Maria.
Oh well, it’s the thought that
counts.
Mmm roasty and bear
bratwurst.
My favourite.
You too, huh?
Sweet threads, huh, Willy?
And they’re home-made too.
I thought they looked
familiar.
Hey, look, I know I asked you to
go along with Maria but you
don’t have to wear those.
Are you kidding?
They rule.
I asked her to make me another
pair.
In purple.
Ah-whoo.
Doesn’t this outfit just
scream tranquility?
Maria even embroidered it with
moonstones.
Huh?
Hello, "Villy."
It’s time to eat.
So, Adjani, Alyssa tells me
you’re awesome with a
basketball.
Actually it was Alyssa’s
fish.
A colomesus asellus.
More commonly known as the
Brazilian fresh water puffer
fish.
Indigenous to the...
Hey, that’s great.
So you want to shoot some hoops
or what?
Serge, Quincy tells me you’re
an artist and a dancer.
Yes, I take classes.
That’s very impressive.
I hear Russia is known for it’s
ballet.
Yes, so I have heard.
I’d love to see a few moves
if you wouldn’t mind.
Sure.
♪
Wow.
I had no idea that ballet had
become so progressive.
Serge: Break it down, man.
(Humming)
I think she’s finally made
herself at home.
Oh, you don’t know the half
of it.
(Cuckoo clock ringing)
(Whistling)
Oh, goody I’ve been looking
forward to the four o’clock
dinner inspection all day.
Wow.
Maybe a little too at home.
Dude, what is up with that
doily?
Flying wedgie!
Compliments of Maria.
She’s a really sweet girl and
all, but she’s kind of
transformed my home in to her
home.
Well she’s only here for a
week.
How bad can it be?
Again, check out the doily.
Maria: Hello, "Villy."
Did you lose track of time
again?
If you don’t eat lunch at 12
sharp, then you’ll spoil your
appetite for dinner, Silly.
How could I forget?
I’ll catch you guys later.
Hey, our boys are back.
Dudes, we missed you.
I was at the pet store
helping treat their sick fish.
We were only gone for 30
minutes, Quincy.
Well, you must still be on
Kenyan time ’cause that felt
more like a half hour to me.
Look, I found the limited
edition of marsupial man comic
book.
I sure hope that I can draw like
this one day.
Oh, Serge, that reminds me.
I got you this book on
Kandinsky.
He’s my favourite Russian
artist.
I thought it may be useful for
your drawings.
Uh, thanks, Alyssa.
Who is that again?
Beats me.
This is not a foreign
exchange office, you two.
Adjani and Serge are students
not sandwiches.
Trading is out of the question.
It’s all good, Lyss.
We’ll just stick together.
Us four will be tight.

Where did that mountain come
from?
Oh, that?
I had it flown in to make Maria
feel more at home.
Strike.
Woo, this is fun.
Hey, do we get to keep the
shoes?
They’re a bit like ballet
slippers aren’t they?
I can tell by your natural grace
that you were born to dance.
That was so awesome.
Maria, it’s my turn to bowl.
First you need strength.
You’re too skinny.
Eat, "Villy" eat.
Look, Lyss.
Whack-a-weasel.
Are you kidding, that game is
uncivilized.
It’s totally lacking in cultural
merit.
Right, Serge?
Huh?
What’s with you, Lyss?
Whack-a-weasel is your favourite
game.
It is not.
And besides, I have something
even better in mind.
Come on, Serge.
You’ll love it.
Man: The illegal harvest of
seahorses in south east Asia has
had a truly devastating...
I’m sorry, but you can’t
bring outside food in here.
This is fascinating.
The use of montage and voice
over is obviously inspired by
Russian avant guard cinema.
Wouldn’t you say?
Hoo, yeah.
Yo, this movie is all wet.
Wanna split, bro.
Bro?
(Sobbing)
Hey, Willy, Maria, check it
out.
(Loud horn sounding)
Willy, you missed your
curfew.
Curfew?
What curfew?
It’s right here on the
schedule.
That Maria was sweet enough to
make up.
Didn’t you get one?
This is crazy.
The Zillas don’t have curfews.
The Zillas go out of their way
to break curfews.
I’m going to get a snack.
Not so fast, young man.
I don’t see snack anywhere on
that schedule.
Ahh!
Don’t worry, babe, he’s just
going through his rebellious
phase.
I did the same thing at his age.
Hey, who’s the dude?
Just Serenity’s latest
boyfriend.
I don’t see boyfriend on this
schedule either!
So, Q, I was thinking maybe
you and Serge would like to go
to the art gallery tomorrow.
Art gallery?
I thought we could go to a game.
Ugh, you know I hate
basketball.
You’re only inviting me to get
to Adjani.
You’re using me to get to
Serge.
If that’s the way it’s going to
be maybe we shouldn’t all hang
out.
If that’s the way you want it,
fine.
It will just be me and Adjani.
So, are we still on for
tomorrow?
Absolutely.
Serenity, wait.
You are too young and naive to
face the world of men.
Oh please like we need you
telling us what we should and
shouldn’t do.
No, she’s right.
We are too young.
I see that now.
Thank you, you’re really sweet.
Ugh.
That’s it, I can’t take it
anymore.
If this is about Maria, don’t
worry.
She’s only here for a few more
days.
Hey kids, have we got a
surprise for you.
We’re so crazy about Maria, we
decided to bring her folks here
so she can stay with us even
longer.
Hello.
Are you surprised?
That’s one way to put it.

♪
Hey, Willy, check it out.
This is gonna make an awesome
new album.
The Zilla yodel.

I had no idea linden flowers
could soothe a sore throat.
There really is a Swiss herb for
every occasion.
I need some time alone.
This place is a zoo.
All that’s missing are...
Huh?
The animals.
Hello, "Villy."
I could not find the barn so we
keep animals in your room, yes?
(Quacking)
(Knocking)
Let me guess.
More hoops?
Alyssa: Serge?
What are you doing, Serge?
Oh, hi Alyssa.
Is Adjani here?
Nope, it’s just me.
I thought you might want to hang
out.
(Knocking)
Did anyone see you?
I don’t think so.
A couple of chickens but that’s
it.
Good.
Listen up.
We have got to do something
about Maria.
How do you solve a problem
like Maria?
I’ll try anything.
Well, maybe if we help Maria
fit in here better.
She’d ease up a bit.
Hi Maria.
We were wondering if you wanted
to do something together?
Sing-along?
You’ve taught us about your
culture and now we’d like to
teach you a bit about ours.
You’ve been living with a
rock star.
It’s about time you look the
part.
Come on, Adjani.
Just one game of 21.
And you don’t even have to spot
me 20 points this time.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
I live here, remember.
Well, what’s Adjani doing
here?
I am here to meet Serge.
Yeah he’s...say what?
Sorry, Quincy, I’m just not
that in to basketball.
Yeah, Adjani and I going to
the arcade.
I’m going to play some of that
eh, how do you call it.
Whack-a-weasel?
Culture is fine and all but pop
culture is really more my thing,
Alyssa.
Wait, can we come?
You know, you folks are
welcome to stay here for as long
as you like.
It’ll give me an excuse to build
another wing on the mansion.

You sure know how to rock and
roll, Maria.
You’re gonna knock ’em dead.

You’re terrific at this,
Alyssa.
It’s kind of one of my
favourite games.
What do you say, two out of
three?
You’re on!
So, Adjani, how about a game
of basketball all-stars.
Maybe just this once.

Um, maybe we should just go
to the pet store and check out
the fish, yo.

This is fun.
What are we doing now?
Hey, what’s going on?
Wait.
Where are you going?
It’s okay "Villy", my parents
are right.
We like it very much here but
it’s time for us to return to
our home in Switzerland.
But you haven’t finished
learning about our way of life.
Oh, but "Villy" I have.
Ah-whoo!

Good job, Maria.
Goodbye "Villie."
Goodbye, Mosh.
Bye Maria.
Take care, Kid.
Umm, they do know those
aren’t really the Swiss Alps,
right?
I’d better take them to the
airport.
I’m really gonna miss Maria
and her family.
I just wish she’d left us
something to remember them by.
Clock: Woo hoo.
Woo hoo.
