My Dad the Rock Star (2003–2004): Season 2, Episode 9 - Big Willy on Campus - full transcript
Rock is due to receive an honorary doctorate from his old alma mater, Cerebellum U. Willy, Serenity, Quincy and Alissa come along for the ride to the ultra-exclusive island school that looks like a college student's dream come true. But the image is soon tarnished by the school Dean, who seems to have it in for Rock. It's up to Willy and his friends to figure out the Dean's secret, before it's too late. Meanwhile, Rock takes a wrong turn, and finds himself in an underground cavern, where a secret society based on the legend of Rock Zilla is holding an initiation ceremony. Unrecognized, and thinking it's the doctorate ceremony, Rock is quick to join in the festivities.

And now for Mosh’s next
astounding feat--
Uh, Willy?
Don’t you mean stupid lizard
trick?
Well, yeah.
But Mom thinks that if I call
Mosh’s tricks stupid in front of
him, he’ll get a complex.
Dude, that’s whack.
Go get it, boy!
(Growling)
Sorry about that.
(Yawning)
Hey, Willy.
What are you doing up so early?
Dad, it’s three in the
afternoon.
Yeah, you’re right.
I better crash for a few more
hours, or I’ll never make it
’til dinner.
Here’s the mail.
Junk...
Junk...
Oooh, fancy junk!
Dad, wait!
This looks important.
It’s from Cerebellum University.
They want to give you an
honorary doctorate?
That must be a mistake.
I haven’t been a student there
in years.
They’re one of the best and
most exclusive schools in the
country!
Dad, do you know what this
means?
Instead of being plain old Rock
Zilla, you’ll be Dr. Rock Zilla.
Huh?
Sponge.
Scalpel.
Whammy bar.
(Beeping)
Oh, no!
We’re losing him!
Quickly, nurse!
10 cc’s of hard rock!
♪
Paging Dr. Zilla.
We need you in surgery, stat!
Dad, try thinking more along
the lines of...a professor.
Paging Professor Zilla.
We need you in surgery, stat!
(Meditative music playing)
Crystal, guess what?
You’re married to a doctor!
Dad, that’s Mom over there.
Whoa!
Hey, Crystal!
Guess what?
You’re married to a doctor!
What’s going on?
Allow me.
Dad’s old college is holding a
ceremony to present Dad with an
honorary doctorate.
Rock, that’s wonderful!
Oh, no!
I’m hosting a past lives party
for my reincarnation club on the
same day!
Oh, I’ll just have to cancel.
Don’t be silly, honey.
It’s just a piece of paper.
Nothing worth missing a good
party over!
Well, if you’re sure.
Don’t worry, I’ll take Willy
along to keep me out of trouble.
Serenity, you should go too.
You still need to pick a
college.
Ugh, sounds like a total lame
fest to me.
I’ll pass.
Oooh, then you’ll be free for
my party!
Who would you rather be,
Florence Nightingale or Mary,
Queen of Scots?
Yo, this is awesome!
Thanks for the invite, Mr. Z.
Hey, the more the merrier!
So Dad, what’s your old
college like anyway?
Good question, Willy, my boy.
It’s been so long I can barely
remember.
I seem to recall having a
roommate though.
This dude was brilliant, a
total rocket scientist.
The guy invented this
high-powered microphone that
could blow the dome off a
concert stadium.
And since we were so tight and
all, he gave me the honour of
testing it out.
Ah-whoo!
Man, those were the days.
Dad, look!
We’re here!
WILLY: Wow!
All right!
(Helicopter blades whirring)
Since when do rock stars
arrive early?
This is most inconvenient.
Is that him?
Dean Peterson, please tell me
that’s him!
I can’t wait to meet him in
person!
Get a grip, man!
How professional would it look
for the school administrator to
drool all over our honoured
guest?
You’re right, sorry Dean.
Fine, fine.
Just run along and administrate
something.
Yes, sir.
Welcome to our campus, Mr.
Zilla.
I’m Dean Peterson.
Yeah, nice to meet you.
Have we met before?
You seem familiar.
No, no.
It’s quite impossible.
I’ve only recently taken on the
role of Dean here at the school.
Huh, must be the cape.
If I’d known you were
bringing your entourage, I would
have planned accordingly.
What, the kids?
I just thought they might like a
tour of my old stomping grounds.
I’d be happy to show you
around campus.
Word up.
Thanks!
Skunk, aren’t you coming?
Negative, mate.
Need to stay here and catch up
on me beauty sleep.
It could take awhile.
All right then, everyone stay
close and no wandering off.
I wouldn’t want anyone getting
lost before the big ceremony.
And this our pride and joy, the
newly remodelled science lab.
Filled with the very latest in
space-age technology.
Follow me.
Huh?
Wow, what are the odds that we’d
all pick the same outfit this
morning?
Talk about a fashion faux pas.
You must be here for the
ceremony.
Oh, yeah.
Right!
The ceremony.
That explains it.
Now come on, we’re gonna be
late.
♪
Let this meeting of the
secret Zilla society commence.
As you know, today the great
Rock Zilla himself honours our
campus with his presence.
It’s in the spirit of his
arrival that we hold our annual
initiation ceremony.
Bring in the recruits!
Guys, love the dorm room!
I gotta get the name of your
decorator.
You, new blood!
No speaking unless spoken to.
Whoa, sorry, dude.
Nobody filled me in on that.
Ahem.
The rite of passage will be a
long and difficult journey.
(Whistling)
You sure you’re ready for this?
I was born ready!
Then let the ceremony begin.
Wow, this place reminds me of
NASA.
Actually, NASA modelled their
labs after this one.
Hello, can we keep it moving
please?
The nerd fumes in here are
starting to give me a headache.
I’ll bet the next stop on the
tour will be more to your
liking.
I’ve died and gone to hunk
heaven.
Yes, well, the co-ed dorms
are fully equipped with all the
modern conveniences.
I’ll say.
Yo, I’ll bet this place has
some seriously kickin’ frat
parties.
Actually, parties are
strictly forbidden.
Those poor, poor boys.
What a waste!
(Rock music playing)
As you can see, Rock, your
music is still quite popu--
Wait, where’s Rock?
He’s probably just poking
around on his own.
Jason, would you mind
finishing a tour for me?
I’m needed elsewhere.
Sure, yeah.
No problem.
Yo, dude was buggin’.
And what’s with that eye?
Whoa, check out Dean Bling
Bling.
Hey, Jason.
Looks like the new dean didn’t
waste any time making his
presence felt around here.
Jason?
Huh?
Oh, oh, yeah.
Sorry.
Yeah, I’m still trying to get
over the fact that your dad is
Rock Zilla.
Dude, you are so lucky.
That’s what I keep telling
myself.
Wow, you guys are gonna love
this next part of the tour.
I mean, this is his greatest
legacy.
Check it out!
Dad’s greatest legacy is a
weed-infested pile of rubble?
Hard to believe he was
expelled after only one
semester.
What?
Expelled?
Why?
You didn’t know?
These ruins used to be the old
science lab.
Rock’s old roommate was a
science major who supposedly
discovered a way to transform
sound waves into a new form of
energy.
I do cherish these moments
away from that pea-brained
freak show roommate of mine.
A few more tweaks and my
prototype will be complete.
Nobel Prize, here I come!
Hey dude, come on!
You’re gonna miss the party!
(Chanting toga)
Huh?
Whoa, space mic!
Bet it gets wicked reverb.
Rock, no!
Ah-whoo!
The explosion destroyed the
entire building.
So, Dad got the boot, but
what happened to his roommate?
Also expelled.
Nobody’s heard from him since.
Wow, Dad never mentioned any
of this.
I don’t know why Dad even
went here.
I mean, I’m all in favour of
destroying science labs and
expelling nerds, but come on.
No parties?
That’s just wrong.
Hey, just because we aren’t
allowed to have parties doesn’t
mean we don’t.
Never thought I’d use "Dad"
and "library" in the same
sentence.
What better place to hide the
best 24-hour rave in town?
(Electronic music playing)
I’m beginning to change my
mind about this place!
Ladies first.
Hey, you guys coming?
Nah, I think we should
probably try to track down Dad.
Well, suit yourself.
I don’t get it.
Dad blows up the science lab,
gets expelled and now he’s being
rewarded for it?
It just doesn’t add up.
It’s time for the first
challenge.
The running of the gauntlet.
To pass, you must dodge the
flaming skulls.
Avoid the exploding flash box.
Elude the dreaded, flying pig.
And make it to the other side.
Still think you’re ready?
I can do this in my sleep.
We’ll see.
Let the testing begin!
(Gasping)
Must use the rocker sense.
♪
Whoa, head rush.
That was awesome.
Can I go again?
Impressive.
Teamwork is indeed, key to
your success.
You will find that the
challenges only grow tougher
from here.
Huh, and here I thought
becoming a doctor took hard
work and lots of training.
So much for that theory.
I’m a little freaked out by
how quiet it is in here.
The students have the
afternoon off in honour of my
dad’s visit, remember?
Still, I keep expecting a
tumbleweed to roll by.
Yo, check it out!
For the second challenge, you
will paint an homage to Rock
Zilla using only your tongue.
(Gasping)
(Slurping)
(Gasping)
Oh, please.
Rock Zilla would never paint
such a tame, wholesome image.
Hey, what about my sensitive
side?
He may be wearing my platforms,
but he sure doesn’t know me!
The science lab looks even
bigger from up here.
Dude, check it!
It’s taken me years, but I’ve
finally recreated my masterpiece
of technology.
Who’s he talking to?
Now this miserable school
will get the shakeup it so
richly deserves for kicking me
out!
And that meddling baboon of a
roommate, Rock Zilla, will take
the fall.
(Chuckling)
The dean is Dad’s old
roommate!
Is it just me, or does it
feel like he’s still holding a
wee grudge?
(Cell phone ringing)
Hello?
Hi, Willy.
It’s Mom.
Or should I say, Amelia Earhart
reborn?
How’s the ceremony going?
Actually, Mom, this is a bad
time.
Could I just--
Hang on, sweetie.
Excuse me, Marie Antoinette?
Be a dear and keep Joan of Arc
away from the barbeque, danke.
Sorry, Willy.
I better get going.
Bye, Mom.
Uh-oh, Doc.
We got trouble.
Where’d he go?
(Doorknob rattling)
(Gasping)
Man, that was close.
He’s got something seriously
nasty planned for your dad.
Skunk, Skunk!
Wake up!
Huh?
We need your help.
The dean of the school’s gonna
do something to sabotage Dad.
So what do you think he’s up
to?
I’m not sure, but it’s got
something to do with the sound
system.
SKUNK: Attention, attention.
I’ve given her the old once
over.
The only thing left to do is the
mic check.
Of course, the microphone!
Wait a minute, look at this
rigging.
Looks like it feeds into the
main campus building.
No, no.
This is a strange place to put
an amplifier.
That’s it!
When Dad screams into the
microphone, it’ll cause a reverb
as powerful as an earthquake.
Tearing the school apart in the
process.
And Dad will get blamed!
It’s a two for the price of
one revenge special.
No problem-o.
We’ll have her dismantled faster
than you can say Yorkshire
pudding.
Wait, I’ve got a better idea.
And now, for the final and
most important challenge.
You must play a solo in the
style of Rock Zilla.
♪
Ah-whoo, cheer up, dudes.
It’s not your fault.
You don’t have the proper tool
for the job.
(Glass breaking)
♪
You have desecrated the
shrine!
You are unworthy of membership
in the Zilla society!
You have failed!
Whatever, dude.
Hey, no hard feelings, guys.
What was I gonna do with a
doctorate anyways?
Cool ceremony though.
Doctorate ceremony?
This is the initiation ceremony!
If you were looking for the
doctorate ceremony, then you
have to be--
The real Rock Zilla!
And I didn’t even recognize you.
I have failed the secret society
of the...
(Sobbing)
I’m not fit to be your leader.
Mr. Zilla, I am so sorry.
Whoa, no worries.
But listen, man.
You really wanna capture the
Rock Zilla spirit?
Then forget all this secret
stuff.
You should celebrate it, not
hide it.
Get out there where the whole
world can see you!
Oh, and I’ve got some ideas on
how you can make that obstacle
course really challenging.
(Cheering)
On behalf of Cerebellum
University, I would like to
present you, Rock Zilla, with
an honorary doctorate.
(Cheering)
Hello, Cerebellum U!
Ah-whoo!
ALL: Wow!
I can’t believe it backfired!
All those years of planning.
My beautiful revenge, ruined!
This is all your fault!
Actually, sir, it’s mine.
You did this?
You and your sister are banned
from ever attending this school,
do you hear me?
Banned!
And that’s a punishment how,
exactly?
Sorry, Dad.
I know how much you wanted us to
go to this school.
You got kicked out before you
even became a student?
Now that’s impressive.
I overheard the whole thing,
Dean Peterson.
Actually, you are the one who’s
going to be banned.
Is everyone as confused as I
am?
Remember how you thought the
dean looked familiar, Dad?
(Gasping)
Roomie!
Whoo-hoo!
What you been up to, pal?
Plotting his revenge would
probably be near the top of the
list.
And I couldn’t even get that
right.
I’m just a failure at everything
I attempt.
A failure?
But you successfully recreated
your experiment.
You could have used it to better
the environment and re-establish
yourself as one of the world’s
leading scientific minds.
In retrospect, that may have
been the way to go.
Take me away, boys.
Nice to see you, Ruby.
Let’s get together and catch up
when you’re not so busy!
Uh, Dad?
You do know he tried to destroy
the school and your reputation
along with it, right?
Oh, I could never stay mad at
that guy.
Willy, thank you for all your
help.
Rock, I’d like to invite you to
become an honorary member of
the Zilla society.
Thanks, man.
But, no thanks.
I’ve got to keep it real and
save that rocking out stuff for
where it belongs...on stage!
Here’s a little something to
remember me by at your next
secret meeting.
Take us home, Captain.
Yes, sir.
Dr. Rock, sir.
♪
(Helicopter whirring)
Nothing like a class reunion
to make an old rocker feel young
again.
Ah-whoo!
Yeah?
Well, that’s a little more
excitement than I’m used to.
Hey, at least no one got
arrested this time.
Oh, wait.
I would say that dude’s dean
days are long over.
He definitely won’t be
bothering you any time soon,
Mr. Z.
Oh, I wouldn’t be too sure
about that.
One of these days, he’s bound to
turn up somewhere.

Now this miserable school
will get the shakeup it so
richly deserves for kicking me
out!
And that meddling baboon of a
roommate, Rock Zilla, will take
the fall.
(Chuckling)
The dean is Dad’s old
roommate!
Is it just me, or does it
feel like he’s still holding a
wee grudge?
(Cell phone ringing)
Hello?
Hi, Willy.
It’s Mom.
Or should I say, Amelia Earhart
reborn?
How’s the ceremony going?
Actually, Mom, this is a bad
time.
Could I just--
Hang on, sweetie.
Excuse me, Marie Antoinette?
Be a dear and keep Joan of Arc
away from the barbeque, danke.
Sorry, Willy.
I better get going.
Bye, Mom.
Uh-oh, Doc.
We got trouble.
Where’d he go?
(Doorknob rattling)
(Gasping)
Man, that was close.
He’s got something seriously
nasty planned for your dad.
Skunk, Skunk!
Wake up!
Huh?
We need your help.
The dean of the school’s gonna
do something to sabotage Dad.
So what do you think he’s up
to?
I’m not sure, but it’s got
something to do with the sound
system.
SKUNK: Attention, attention.
I’ve given her the old once
over.
The only thing left to do is the
mic check.
Of course, the microphone!
Wait a minute, look at this
rigging.
Looks like it feeds into the
main campus building.
No, no.
This is a strange place to put
an amplifier.
That’s it!
When Dad screams into the
microphone, it’ll cause a reverb
as powerful as an earthquake.
Tearing the school apart in the
process.
And Dad will get blamed!
It’s a two for the price of
one revenge special.
No problem-o.
We’ll have her dismantled faster
than you can say Yorkshire
pudding.
Wait, I’ve got a better idea.
And now, for the final and
most important challenge.
You must play a solo in the
style of Rock Zilla.
♪
Ah-whoo, cheer up, dudes.
It’s not your fault.
You don’t have the proper tool
for the job.
(Glass breaking)
♪
You have desecrated the
shrine!
You are unworthy of membership
in the Zilla society!
You have failed!
Whatever, dude.
Hey, no hard feelings, guys.
What was I gonna do with a
doctorate anyways?
Cool ceremony though.
Doctorate ceremony?
This is the initiation ceremony!
If you were looking for the
doctorate ceremony, then you
have to be--
The real Rock Zilla!
And I didn’t even recognize you.
I have failed the secret society
of the...
(Sobbing)
I’m not fit to be your leader.
Mr. Zilla, I am so sorry.
Whoa, no worries.
But listen, man.
You really wanna capture the
Rock Zilla spirit?
Then forget all this secret
stuff.
You should celebrate it, not
hide it.
Get out there where the whole
world can see you!
Oh, and I’ve got some ideas on
how you can make that obstacle
course really challenging.
(Cheering)
On behalf of Cerebellum
University, I would like to
present you, Rock Zilla, with
an honorary doctorate.
(Cheering)
Hello, Cerebellum U!
Ah-whoo!
ALL: Wow!
I can’t believe it backfired!
All those years of planning.
My beautiful revenge, ruined!
This is all your fault!
Actually, sir, it’s mine.
You did this?
You and your sister are banned
from ever attending this school,
do you hear me?
Banned!
And that’s a punishment how,
exactly?
Sorry, Dad.
I know how much you wanted us to
go to this school.
You got kicked out before you
even became a student?
Now that’s impressive.
I overheard the whole thing,
Dean Peterson.
Actually, you are the one who’s
going to be banned.
Is everyone as confused as I
am?
Remember how you thought the
dean looked familiar, Dad?
(Gasping)
Roomie!
Whoo-hoo!
What you been up to, pal?
Plotting his revenge would
probably be near the top of the
list.
And I couldn’t even get that
right.
I’m just a failure at everything
I attempt.
A failure?
But you successfully recreated
your experiment.
You could have used it to better
the environment and re-establish
yourself as one of the world’s
leading scientific minds.
In retrospect, that may have
been the way to go.
Take me away, boys.
Nice to see you, Ruby.
Let’s get together and catch up
when you’re not so busy!
Uh, Dad?
You do know he tried to destroy
the school and your reputation
along with it, right?
Oh, I could never stay mad at
that guy.
Willy, thank you for all your
help.
Rock, I’d like to invite you to
become an honorary member of
the Zilla society.
Thanks, man.
But, no thanks.
I’ve got to keep it real and
save that rocking out stuff for
where it belongs...on stage!
Here’s a little something to
remember me by at your next
secret meeting.
Take us home, Captain.
Yes, sir.
Dr. Rock, sir.

(Helicopter whirring)
Nothing like a class reunion
to make an old rocker feel young
again.
Ah-whoo!
Yeah?
Well, that’s a little more
excitement than I’m used to.
Hey, at least no one got
arrested this time.
Oh, wait.
I would say that dude’s dean
days are long over.
He definitely won’t be
bothering you any time soon,
Mr. Z.
Oh, I wouldn’t be too sure
about that.
One of these days, he’s bound to
turn up somewhere.

Houston, we may have a
