Good morning, sunshine.
How do you like my mom's house?
Your mom is Robin Robbins?
Robby: Can't see the resemblance?
You surf?
- No. - No? Or not yet?

Edward: If you find anything in there besides
Diet Coke or pistachio ice cream
I wouldn't trust it.
The only thing I know how to make are reservations.
What, you're one of Frederick's buddies?
- Frederick? - His mother let's him go
by that ridiculous nickname, Flash.
Yeah. What's your name? Thunderbolt?
I'm TK, sir.
Thank you for your hosting.
Well, it is my pleasure,
but, uh, I'm afraid with my shooting schedule
I'm not gonna be able to see much of you kids.
Oh, hang on.
For crying out loud.
My AD just called in sick.
She's probably out partying late last night.
What's an AD?
Son, you strike me as a sharp kid
who knows how to read a schedule.
How'd you like a job for the day?
Normally pays 80 bucks,
but I'll give you 90 on short notice.
Sure.
What about Flash?
Frederick's not cut out for this kind of work.
All right, let's grab you some shoes,
we'll pick up breakfast on the way.
You like green drink?
You're gonna learn to like green drink.
Let's get some green drink.
( doorbell rings )
( knocking )
Surprise, we're here to do all your chores.
We already did all of our chores.
All we do are chores.
There's plenty left to be done.
The downstairs toilets haven't been cleaned in ages.
We gotta do what we gotta do.
Point it to the toilet, sir.
- Come on. - What exactly is going on here?
We're going door to door to help kids with their chores
so they can go to the arcade.
I haven't been to the arcade in ages.
If you can beat me at skee-ball,
I'll double your allowance.
Double my allowance? Deal.
- What about me? - You're on chore duty.
It's already a terrible ski weekend.
The toilet's overflowing!
It's a flood! Run!
( music playing )
Oh, oh, okay. Here's Flash.
There's also TK and also Ace.
And I wouldn't say they're our only guy friends.
I mean, I definitely would say that they're like...
the guy version of the Chicken Girls,
but, um, you know.
Oh, okay, and here's PowerSurge.
Now PowerSurge is the anti-Chicken Girl,
and definitely they are incredible dancers, but--
Okay, okay, enough of the...
goings on at Attaway since I escaped.
Listen, Ellie, I gotta explain something to you.
If you wanna be an icon,
you're not gonna have time for classmates,
and dance teams, and random kids with silly nicknames.
Speaking of which, we've got to do something about yours.
My name?
Uh, I like my name, I think my name it's--
Provincial? Do you think I'd be where I am
if I hadn't changed my name to Robin Robbins?
Your name's not Robin Robbins?
Roberta Roach.
- Oh-- - It doesn't play.
Okay, I see.
So, you're suggesting that I should change my name
to Ellie Ellies.
Let me break this down for you.
This is my wall of success.
If you listen to me, you can have your own wall,
but it's gonna take a full commitment.
You're gonna have to ditch that old, drab, dreary life in Attaway,
just like I did, and make space
for a brand new fun, fabulous, successful life here.
Now the question is, are you in?
- ( humming ) - ( strumming guitar )
You're disturbing the peace, Danny.
Hey, Sandy, sorry,
I got this new riff in my head.
I didn't realize I was being so loud.
No, I'm just teasing you.
This town is way too sleepy to notice anything anyway.
So, how's your break going?
Pretty slow since the band broke up.
Well, I guess you can go fulfill his dream
of being the fifth Beatle.
Oh, I didn't mean it like that.
Sorry, no more Miles, no more band, got it.
Anyway, I'm getting a couple people together.
Really? For, like, what? A new band?
Something like that.
You know, these things don't happen over night.
That's actually not bad.
- What? - Never mind, um, I will call you
if I need a guitarist.
All right, catch you later.
( strumming guitar )
( knocking )
Kayla, if you think you're joining PowerSurge,
prepare to enter a world of pain.
For once, this isn't about dance teams.
We're doing chores for kids so they can go to the arcade.
Perfect!
You finish cleaning out my garage
and shine my dad's golf clubs while you're at it.
I have some shows to binge watch.
I told you girls she wasn't gonna lift a finger.
Come on, we have work to do.
Hang on.
As much as I hate the arcade,
it does get my baby brother out of the house,
and out of my hair, so truce for now.
Thank you, Birdie!
( music playing )
What are you doing?
Rise and shine!
Well, that's one waste of water.
Aw, did someone have an accident?
- Uh, no, well-- - TK's missing!
He went to set with Edward.
Wait, where, with who?
So, this is what is called an independent film
or an indie you've probably heard it called, right?
So ten years ago I was off filming big features
like "Loch Ness 3," "Aerospace Man,"
- remember that one? - Yeah.
Yeah, okay, but now, it's back to basics.
Just me and a skeleton crew making art together.
This is the coolest thing ever.
Should I see if the boys and Flash are up?
Oh, all my son ever wants to do sleep in late
and play video games.
( both chuckle )
I do see a lot of myself in you though,
there's nothing quite like young ambition.
am I right?
- Good morning. - Hey, Lauren, what's up?
- Here's today's sides. - Thank you.
This is Lauren. TK's gonna be filling in.
Uh...
Ethan, Mike, let's soften this light up,
we're shooting in natural light today, guys.
Natural light everybody!
How'd you learn to become a director?
Uh, watching, listening, asking a lot of questions,
just not stupid questions.
( chuckles ) Señor Senior says there's no such thing
as stupid questions.
Well, Señor Senior was obviously never
in the movie business.
See, more questions asked means more time wasted,
means more money spent.
The real question is what kind of stories you want to tell?
Um, well, a while back I made a web show called "The Keys."
- Yeah. - But I just put it on YouTube.
Hm, gotta start somewhere, am I right?
( music playing )
- ( grunt ) - Up.
- Something like that? - Yeah, that's fine.
Looks like you're almost ready for the water.
Yoo-hoo!
- Oh. - Harmony, what are you wearing?
Looks like she raided my mom's closet.
Rhyme, darling, I've been looking for you all morning.
We have places to be and people to see.
( both chuckle )
This is Hollywood, no time for lollygagging.
If I say dance, you dance.
Show me your moves.
All right, kiddos, it's showtime,
lights, camera, action.
Let's change our names to roll off the tongue a little better.
She belong to you?
Uh, yeah, that's my sister.
Well, she's got a real knack for comedy.
I'd love to have her come in and read
for a show that I'm casting.
It's a procedural family show.
Multi-cam.
A multi-family, what?
Oh. Where are you two from?
- Attaway. - What-away?
Attaway.
Sounds like the middle of nowhere.
Well, here's my card, give me a call.
Of course, Edward, I'll do my best
to keep them entertained.
Okay, bye.
All right, boys, we're going on an adventure.
Wait, you mean we're finally leaving this house?
I've got about 30 errands to run for Edward
and guess who's coming with me?
Oh, you know what? Just go without me,
I'm just gonna stay here and watch something.
Dude, what are you talking about?
Hot girls willing to drive us around L.A.
You're coming, come on, let's go.
Today was great, we lucked out with that surf.
Yeah, I never thought I could be a surfer.
Dance is hard enough.
Well, I think they're both about hand-eye coordination.
Sorry, I just, I thought--
No, no, no-- it's just, back home...
- I've got a-- - A boyfriend?
Right.
Uh, whoever got you that bracelet,
he's a lucky guy.
Well, this past week I've realized that we...
I need to break up with him.
Whoa.
( Rhyme gasps )
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Robby, it's just complicated.
Today was really amazing.
See you at dinner.
( music playing )
( indistinct chatter )
Nice work, Dru,
seems like you have the whole town here.
Not a bad idea, right?
Maybe you should write about it
for the "Attaway Appeal."
Good thought. Do you have an official quote?
You know, let me think of something while I'm on my break,
but for now can you cover for me?
And also, please make sure my little brother, Troy,
does not get into any trouble.
- Sure. - Okay, thank you.
Mm-hmm.
What's up, bro?
( sighs ) Well, nothing, just at the arcade,
without my girlfriend,
who ran away to California.
Sounds like she's not that into you.
Can I get her number?

I have Windex in my hair.
My eyes are burning.
It's the last house on the block.
Come on, girls Look sharp.
We're not gonna be like those chicken heads
who left early for dinner.
Are we even in Attaway anymore?
- Is this Millwood? - I'm scared.
- ( knocking ) - ( dogs barking )
Hm, I guess nobody's home.
- Luna? - Jules?
( whimpering, sniffling )
Edward: Cut! Good work, Madison.
( bell rings )
All right, that is a wrap for today, folks.
This was the coolest day of my life.
I wish Frederick cared as much as you do
about what his old man did.
Well, listen, this is for today,
plus a little something extra to get you home.
You're not going home?
No, no, I got a premiere and a hot date tonight.
- You know how it is. - ( both chuckle )
Hey, listen, you did great today,
why don't you come back tomorrow?
- Okay. - Great.
( whispering ) Sorry.
So, did you have a fun time with my dad today?
It was awesome.
Well, we went driving around with Babs.
So much fun. You should've come.
I didn't know what your dad does is so cool.
Me either.
Well, I'm glad at least one of us
got to hang out with him today.
- Flash? - I'm sleeping.
You look like you've seen a ghost.
I feel like I did.
Who was that?
Jules, my first crush.
We were inseparable growing up
and then his dad got a job in Philadelphia
and I never heard from him again.
And now he's visiting for ski week?
Yeah. Just for the week.
I'm freaking out.
That is wild.
What are you gonna do?
Hey, hey.
What we do when we're freaking out?
We huddle, right?
All: One, two, three.
PowerSurge!
A little better?
