"That math class was so boring." "It was like one big, giant word problem." "CeCe, that was English." "Rocky?" "Hey, look, it's your dad." "Hi, Dr. Blue!" "Hi, CeCe." "No detention?" "Not yet." "That's my girl." "Hey, Daddy, what're you doing here?" "You forgot your lunch." "Um, no, I didn't." "It's right here." "Okay, you caught me." "I just wanted another hug." "Aw." "Hey, I was gone for eight months with Doctors Without Borders." "They should call it Doctors Without Hugs." "So, after school, you and me, science museum." "They have a new digestive system exhibit." "The entrance, a giant, realistic intestine." "Don't want to know what the exit is." "Anyway, unfortunately, she can't." "After school we have to go over to Shake..." "Up the math team." "I mean, they've gotten pretty lazy lately." "I mean, especially with those square roots." "No, I meant we have to dance..." "Through those algebra problems." "Because that's how we roll." "Oh, that's right." "We do love math." "It's a really great addition to our lives." "And without math it would just subtract from..." "I have no idea what's going on." "Oh, Dad, look!" "There's Ty." "He looks like he could use a hug." "Oh!" "I'll see ya later!" "Ty!" "You forgot your lunch, man!" "All righty, what's the deal?" "Oh, yeah, um..." "Funny story." "You know how my dad's all about me being a doctor, right?" "Well, when we auditioned for Shake It Up, Chicago!" "He was out of the country and my mom said," ""I don't think he's gonna like this."" "And I said, "Do we really have to tell him?"" "And she said, "I guess not, since you're" ""probably not gonna make it on the show anyway, why upset him?"" "But we did make it." "I said, "Telling him over the phone" ""is probably a bad idea." And she said," ""Fine, but you're gonna have to tell him when he gets home."" "And now, he's home and I still haven't told him." "I thought you said this was a funny story." "Oh, you know what?" "You're right." "Sad story." "You know how my dad's all about me being a doctor..."

"Are you kidding?" "This is no video game." "This is the Great Wazoo." "I've been online for years and I finally found it." "It's my favorite from when I was a kid.e" "I didn't know they had electricity back then." "Guess not." "You know, you and the Great Wazoo have a lot in common." "You're both dummies who work for change." "Guess not." "So, let's test-drive this bad boy." "All right." "Oh, come on!" "Oh, no!" "Nice." "You just killed the Great Wazoo." "Prediction." "Uncle Frank is going to kill you." "Your outlook, dead." "Can't breathe." "Freaking out." "What am I going to do?" "What am I going to do?" "You could always slap on a wizard hat and a beard and climb into the machine." "No way!" "I'm afraid of small spaces." "And fake beards." "But I know someone I can get to climb in there." "Oh." "This I gotta see." "What stupid, little..." "Oh, no." "No, no, no, no." "Marcie, honey, that was delicious." "If I didn't know any better," "I'd say you were buttering me up for something." "Oh, Curtis." "I am pretty full, but fortunately" "I saved just enough room for another helping of hugs!" "Come on, now." "Give it up, boy." "Give it up." "Dad, it's getting old." "Well, so is giving you your allowance, but I seem to be doing that." "Daddy!" "Rocky, you're awfully quiet." "Don't you have something to say?" "Yeah." "Dad, I bet you're looking forward to taking Mom out this weekend." "Dinner, maybe?" "Dancing afterward?" "You like dancing, don't you?" "Who doesn't like dancing?" "It's America's favorite pastime." "Well, right now I'm going to dance my way into the kitchen and get some of your mom's pie." "Ty, help me get dessert." "I don't think you could've been any more obvious." "Luckily, your father couldn't have been any more oblivious." "Mom, he's not going to be mad, is he?" "Relax, honey, if there's one thing I know, it's that your father can't be upset when he's eating some of my pie." "Is this some kind of joke?" "You want to be a rapper?" "Are you crazy?" "It's a legitimate career choice." "Oh, you love rap so much?" "Well, let me break it down for you." "Never gonna happen!" "Marcie, back me up on this." "Have some pie." "Listen, Ty, no kid of mine is going into show business." "Your grandfather was a doctor, I'm a doctor, your sister's gonna be a doctor, and so are you." "Mom, what're you doing?" "The pie's not working and I don't want to waste it." "Your father has no idea I bought that new car while he was away." "Okay, here's the deal." "I get Uncle Frank over here, you give him a fortune, then pretend to break down." "That way it'll be his fault and I don't get in trouble." "Got it?" "Yeah." "I got it." "You wanna know why?" "Because it was my idea!" "Look, your idea, my idea." "It doesn't really matter." "What, you got no friends, you gotta talk to a puppet?" "Hey, Uncle Frank." "Why don't you try it out?" "My treat." "Okay." "The Great Wazoo knows all the answers." "Ask away!" "Okay." "Is anything good going to happen to me?" "Your business will continue to flourish." "That's great news!" "But don't chintz on the toppings." "And free refills wouldn't kill you." "Wow, okay, that's even better than I remembered." "Yeah, it's almost too good." "What happened to the plan?" "Why didn't you break down?" "I was gonna, but at 25 cents a question, by the end of the week I should be able to afford a new video game." "Plus, I look adorable in this hat." "Look, I don't care if..." "Deuce!" "Stop talking to the puppet!" "Oh, great, you're here." "I'm guessing you finally told your dad." "And now I'm guessing you didn't tell your dad." "Yeah, I kind of told him there was emergency choir practice." "Wait, you lied about where you were going and then put on a costume to make it seem real?" "Yeah." "Bravo!" "I'm so proud of you!" "Oh, come on, the show's about to start." "Wait, what about if your dad turns on the TV and sees you?" "Don't worry, Ty's got my back." "I know I was a little hard on you yesterday." "You don't have to be a doctor to make me proud." "Thanks, Dad." "So I can be a rapper?" "Over my dead body." "But you could be a lawyer or an engineer or an accountant..." "An accountant?" "Dad, I love music." "There are a lot of accountants in the music industry." "Someone's got to keep track of all that money those rappers make." "Dad!" "No!" "No TV!" "Why?" "Uh, it's been so long since we did anything together." "Let's go to the park." "Ty, I just spent eight months in a tiny village fighting off mosquitoes, scorpions, and dysentery." "I'm not fighting over that remote." "What are you doing?" "I want to sit on your lap again before I get too big." "Daddy!" "It's a little late for that." "Wow!" "What is Rocky doing on TV?" "Uh-oh." "Uh... ♪ Nearer to God are thee" "♪ Nearer to God are we" "Come on, Rocky, sing it!" "What are you talking about?" "Hi, Dad." "Can't talk now."

"Hey, Dr. Blue." "Can I take your order?" "I see you're still thinking." "Okay." "Would you like to hear the specials?" "Look, Dad, I'm sorry I hid it from you." "Okay?" "It was wrong and I shouldn't have done it." "Apology accepted." "Phew, glad that family drama's over." "So would you like to try Crusty's new stuffed crust volcano cheesy explosion pizza?" "More cheese means more patients for you, huh, Doc?" "Okay!" "Dad, can I please stay on the show?" "No." "Why not?" "Because a surgeon needs steady hands." "Not jazz hands!" "Wow." "This is just like at my house." "My dad wants me to go in to the family business, too." "But until I'm 18 he can't tell me what the family business is." "I see you still need another minute." "I'll be over there." "Come on, why can't I do both?" "Rocky, you can't dance on a TV show for the rest of your life, but you can be a surgeon." "That takes dedication." "And dancing is a distraction." "But I love it." "Honey, this isn't a punishment." "This is for your own good." "When I was your age, I was a pretty good tennis player." "Pretty good?" "Who am I kidding?" "I was amazing." "They called me the Waiter." "The Waiter." "Because I had a killer serve!" "That's right, that's right." "But I had to give up tennis because it was a distraction." "If you want to succeed in life, you gotta be like me and stay focused." "What is with this place?" "Doesn't anybody work here, or what?" "I refuse to live in a world where my best friend can't dance with me on Shake it Up, Chicago!" "This is crazy!" "There's got to be some way we can make this work." "CeCe, don't you have some studying to do?" "Studying?" "Please, you haven't been gone that long." "CeCe, get out." "Fine." "By the way, she bought a new car when you were gone." "That girl has some sense of humor." "Here, honey, have some pie." "Now honey, our daughter is unhappy." "What are we going to do about it?" "All Rocky needs is a little reminder about how exciting the world of medicine is." "That's why I've arranged to have her observe an actual gallbladder operation." "That beats the kidney transplant you took us to for our anniversary." "That's right, that's right." "Look, I just can't stand the idea of us not being together on Shake It Up, Chicago!" "Look, I bet if your dad knew how great a dancer you are he would let you stay on the show." "Look, he's already made up his mind." "Okay?" "It's too late." "In fact, he's taking me to the hospital for an operation." "He's having your legs removed?" "No!" "He's taking me to go see a surgery." "Oh." "There's got to be something we can do." "The Great Wazoo knows all the answers." "Ask away!" "I'm drawing a blank." "Why not try the Great Wazoo?" "He knows all." "I feel like I'm so close to an answer, but just cannot put my finger on it." "Seriously!" "Do not make me climb out of this box." "Hey, wait a minute." "You want to ask the Great Wazoo?" "Good idea!" "All right." "What should we do about my Dad not letting me be on Shake It Up, Chicago!" "anymore?" "If you cannot bring a horse to water, bring water to the horse." "What?" "No, I don't get it." "Where am I supposed to find a thirsty horse?" "All right." "CeCe, I think what it's saying is if my dad won't come to Shake It Up, Chicago!" "..." "We bonk him on the head, tie him up, put him in a car, wait until we get our license and drive him there to see you dance?" "Yeah." "Let's call that plan B." "Aren't you excited, honey?" "Actually, I'm a little nervous." "Well, I was a little nervous before my first operation, too." "Of course, I was the one being operated on." "I was six and having a peanut removed from my nasal cavity." "I had shoved that thing so far up there that to this day, every time I sneeze..." "Tastes like peanut butter." "That's right, that's right." "Ooh, listen to that." "You see Rocky?" "A lot of doctors like to listen to music during surgery." "It relaxes them." "Most of them pick classical music, but hey, whatever keeps them awake." "What the heck is going on down there?" "Rocky, is that CeCe?" "Rocky?" "Rocky!"

"No." "No, no, no, you don't know that." "Maybe he was so excited from seeing you dance he fainted." "Nope, he's gone." "Mom, did Dad come home?" "Yes, and he went into the bedroom and he's been in there ever since." "He must be really upset about that big surprise dance performance at the hospital." "Oh, good." "I thought he found out I really did buy a new car." "You know what?" "This has gone on long enough." "It's time to deal with this the old-fashioned way." "We're gonna blame it on CeCe." "No, a family meeting." "We're gonna sit down together and talk this out." "It doesn't matter how long it takes." "We'll sit here all day if we have to." "There they are!" "The two most talented kids in the world." "Okay." "Family meeting adjourned." "Wait." "You're not mad about what happened at the hospital?" "Well, I was." "I was." "And then I realized you guys are really good and you just love what you do." "And that's all any father could hope for." "So, does this mean you're going to let me stay on the show?" "Yes." "Yes!" "And what about me?" "Are you cool with me trying to be a rapper?" "Well, that depends." "You cool taking me to the Grammys?" "What!" "Okay, okay, but we still have to have a family meeting." "About what?" "About why you suddenly decided to pour yourself into those shorts." "Well, I figured if I was wrong, maybe my dad was wrong, too." "Stand back." "'Cause it is time for the Waiter to serve again." "Ow!" "My neck!" "My neck!" "My C3!" "That's not good." "Um, I'll go get the ice pack." "I'll get the aspirin." "Mmm-hmm." "Thank you, kids."

"I am not leaving here until you change your mind and let Rocky back on Shake It Up, Chicago!" "Well, CeCe, if I was willing to change my mind, would you be willing to bring your grades up?" "Now, I'm talking about a B+ average, girl." "B-." " B." " Deal!" "Hey, CeCe." "Guess what?" "He's letting me stay on the show!" "You tricked me." "That's right, that's right." "Where'd the Great Wazoo go?" "Eh, it wasn't really bringing in that much cash, so I sold it to another pizzeria." "You did what?" "Um, what pizzeria?" "Where exactly?" "Italy." "Your cousin Gideon just loaded it onto his van to take to the airport." "Got you." "So was the little wizard guy, was he still in there?" "No, he walked out and bought himself a first class ticket."
