Original subtitles

Okay, you put one hand here and the other hand here.

Austin, I know how to play.

Oh, yes! I got a horn-in-one.

You rock at clarinet golf.

Can I take you out to dinner to celebrate?

Austin Monica Moon.

Are you asking me out on our first official date?

Why, yes I am.

Ally... I don't know your middle name

Dawson.

I accept.

And I am never telling you my middle name.

Great. I want to take you to illusions magic cafe.

The waiters are magicians, and your hunger will disappear.

Awesome.

Pick me up at 7:30.

Guess who's the best manager in the world.

Eh! Time's up. It's me.

I got you a meeting with the producers

of this huge new animated movie.

They want you to pitch them a song,

and if they like it, they'll use it.

Trish, that's awesome. What's the movie?

It's called Butch and Bitey.

It's about the friendship between a stray dog

and the streetwise flea that lives on his butt.

Nice.

They sent over all this stuff for you guys to get inspired.

It's nice that someone's making an original movie for a change

and not some cheesy mindless sequel.

Guys, the new Zaliens sequel is coming out!

- Awesome! - Sweet!

Zaliens 8: My Brains.

Get it?

It's like they ate my brains, but it's the number eight.

Man, those movies are genius.

Zalien brain suck!

Whoo.

Coming soon?

I can't wait that long.

Well, you won't have to once Trish and I win tickets to the premiere.

They're having a contest where fans make a video

of their favorite Zaliens scene.

With Dez's awesome directing, and my amazing acting,

we're gonna win.

Did you just compliment Dez?

Uh... what?

You can't prove that.

Or can I?

Zalien brain suck!

Oh, Ally.

Leave the brain sucking to the pros.

Our first official date.

How cool is this place?

So cool.

So, how cool is this weather we've been having?

Cool.

I mean, it's been really hot, but it's cool that it's hot.

So, how cool is this fork?

Very cool.

Four prongs.

Whoo.

Is it cool if we stop saying cool?

Totally... yes.

I'm Al the magnificent.

I'll be your waiter and conjurer this evening.

Tonight's specials are the Houdini Linguini

and sleight of hamburger.

Well, I'll have the burger, and the lady will have...

What do you want, Ally?

I can order for myself.

I was just trying to be a gentleman.

I appreciate it, but...

Sorry.

I'll have the now you seafood salad, now you don't.

Great. Would you care for some rolls?

Abracada...

Bread!

Whoa.

Bread?

Sorry sorry sorry.

Hey...

My chair is levitating.

Cool.

Hey, Ally.

Listen, about our date.

It was weird, right?

I know.

It's like we couldn't even talk to each other.

How cool is this fork?

Very cool.

Even the coolest fork in the world isn't that cool.

Hey, how cool is this cash register?

So cool.

What's wrong with us?

I think we're putting too much pressure on ourselves to be the perfect couple.

You're right.

Let's just work on the Butch and Bitey song.

It's never weird when we write together.

Yeah. Let's just focus on our music and everything will be fine.

So, I was thinking the song should be an emotional ballad.

It's gonna play during the scene where Butch goes to the pound

and they make him wear a flea collar.

Bitey almost doesn't make it.

Don't you think the song should be a little more fun and upbeat?

I mean, it is about a flea who lives on a dog's butt.

So you don't like my idea?

No, it's great.

What about mine?

Yours is great too.

I'm so happy we're writing music and it's not awkward anymore.

Yep.

Me too.

So...

How cool is this cash register?

So cool.

Gorlot, give me the kanthian crystal.

Never, Xantu.

Then say good-bye to your Zalien spawn!

My babies!

My locker!

Cut!

Where are all my books?

- Oh, they're still in there. - Wha...?

Ahh. Ew.

My books are all gooey.

Who keeps books in their locker?

So how'd the date go?

Oh, it was magical.

As in our waiter pulled the appetizers out of his sleeve.

The date itself, kind of awkward.

Sometimes being a couple changes things.

I know.

I was always afraid this would happen

if we started dating.

Do you think we're making a mistake?

I don't know.

On the one hand, you guys seem perfect for each other.

On the other hand,

maybe you're feeling extra pressure

now that you're boyfriend and girlfriend.

On the other other hand...

Enough with the hands.

Sorry.

What do I do?

I really want to make this work with Austin.

Don't think so much about the whole relationship thing.

Just go with the flow and everything will work itself out.

Ready to finish shooting the scene?

Ooh, I can't. I'm late for my cousin's wedding.

You're going dressed like that?

Good catch.

Almost forgot my bowtie.

Dez, I gotta talk to you.

Everything's been weird since Ally and I started dating.

What should I do?

Whoa!

Oh, can I get you to scream like that again for my Zalien video?

I can never get a girly scream out of Trish.

Dez, I need to talk to you.

Now that Ally's my girlfriend,

I'm afraid to tell her how I really feel about her ideas.

Well, you've come to the right place.

If you've got a problem,

go to the guy with the brains.

I made it for the Zalien movie.

Try some.

Mmm! Good brain.

It's the cinnamon.

Totally masks the taste of pig liver.

Anyway, what should I do about Ally?

It's simple.

In the game of love,

one must yield to the whims of their significant other.

Huh?

Dude, just compromise.

Compromise.

I can do that.

Thanks for the advice.

Oh, and if you ever find yourself in trouble,

you can't go wrong with a cute pet name,

tiger pancake.

Don't do that again.

So, let's give this song a shot.

Okay. I still think it should be a sad ballad

about the challenges Butch and Bitey face

as they escape the pound and pursue their dreams of opening a taco truck.

What do you think?

Well, uh...

One should yield to the whims of their significant other.

Dude, just compromise.

Uh...

I really like your idea.

Let's just go with that, my little goose pickle.

- Sorry. - Austin, I don't want to "Just do that."

We're partners.

I want to hear your ideas too.

Well, I've been riffing on something

a little more fun and rocking.

♪ Butch scratches all day And itches all night ♪

♪ 'Cause Bitey Lives on his butt ♪

♪ And he loves to bite ♪

♪ Ow! ♪

What do you think?

Well...

Just go with the flow

and everything will work itself out.

Your idea's great too.

- Yes. - My little...

Cute nickname.

Sorry.

Why don't we use both our ideas?

We could write a funny...

- And sad... - But upbeat...

- Yet sentimental... - Song about the hilarity...

- And tragedy... - Of living on a dog's butt.

Perfect.

We only have one Zalien head to blow up,

so we gotta test the explosion on something else first.

I filled all these up with exploding capsules, and brain goo.

Great! Let's blow something up

then finish shooting the last part of the scene.

Yes!

I hope you put enough capsules in that pineapple.

There's gotta be brains everywhere.

This isn't the first time I've blown up tropical fruit.

I totally ruined my cousin's wedding yesterday.

You gotta shake it to activate the exploding capsules.

We should be safe back here.

You think that explosion was big enough

to get us into the Zaliens premiere?

- Whoo! - Oh, yeah.

Whoa.

Look at all this stuff.

I can't believe we're pitching a song for a movie.

I'm just glad we were able to compromise and finish the song.

Yeah, me too.

It's good, right?

Totally.

Should we listen to it one more time?

Yeah.

♪ I'm a dog and you are a flea ♪

♪ But we get along like family ♪

♪ Butch scratches All day and itches all night ♪

♪ 'Cause Bitey Lives on his butt ♪

♪ And he loves to bite ♪

♪ Ahh! ♪

The song's terrible!

I know.

We're about to pitch the worst song ever.

We've never written a song this bad.

How did this happen?

I should have told you I never liked your idea,

but I didn't say anything, I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

What, you think I'm too weak to handle criticism?

My best friend is Trish.

Why didn't you say anything to me?

I thought if I called your ideas childish,

it would hurt your feelings.

So you think I'm childish?

Like some kid who laughs at butt jokes and plays with toys?

No way!

This thing's made fart noises the whole time?

I gotta show Dez!

'Cause he is childish.

All right, kids.

You've got five minutes to convince me to use your song.

Wow me.

Before we get to the song idea,

I just want to say that I personally

responded to the Bitey character.

She can totally take criticism.

When Butch told Bitey he didn't like her tacos,

Bitey didn't cry.

That flea created the secret salsa that saved the orphanage!

And when salsa gave all the orphans bad gas,

Butch didn't laugh like most normal people would

when hundreds of babies are farting.

He helped take care of them

'cause he's not a childish dog.

Woof.

Wow.

You kids are real cute.

You've got three minutes and 45 seconds left.

Can I hear the song?

Whoo! That scene was amazing!

We're totally gonna win the Zalien contest.

I know!

I've never seen so much brain goo.

Want to see more brain goo?

We never blew up all this other stuff.

Let's start with the Butch doll.

He had the most exploding capsules.

Let's do it!

Uh, where's Butch?

You don't think Austin and Ally took him to the pitch, do you?

As long as they don't shake him, everything's gonna be fine.

Not only is Butch mature, he's smart too.

He can fetch, sit, roll over.

And drive a taco truck.

Bitey doesn't do any tricks.

Bitey doesn't need any tricks 'cause she's tough.

Butch can try to shake her off his back, but she's unshakable.

What does any of this have to do

with you two writing a song for my movie?

Butch is starting to think that running a taco truck

was way easier before he and Bitey started dating.

Maybe they shouldn't date

because it's making everything weird and affecting their songwriting.

Maybe Butch and Bitey should just go back to being friends.

Give me that dog!

You know, in all of my years in the cartoon business,

I have never been involved in such a ridiculous...

Austin, don't shake the...

Ah, never mind.

So...

How'd the pitch go?

Did you see his face?

I couldn't.

It was covered in Zalien brains.

And Butch goo.

I'm really sorry, Austin.

I don't like how things have been different between us

since we've been dating.

I know. I'm sorry too.

It seems like now that we're a couple,

we're just too afraid to hurt each other's feelings.

You're right.

You know I don't think you're weak.

And I don't think you're childish.

You don't have to say that.

I'm totally childish.

I really wanted this to work.

Me too.

More than anything.

I just think being together

is getting in the way of us being us.

Things were great the way they were.

Maybe we're not ready to be a couple just yet.

Friends?

And partners.

Always.

Uh...

This is just as friends, right?

Yeah. Just as friends.

Okay, but don't let go just yet.

I wasn't going to.

Dinner is served.

Whoa.

Did we really order this much food?

I think that's everything.

Oh, can we get some ketchup?

It's in my other hat.

This place is way more fun when you're not on a date.

And totally not awkward.

Okay, still a little awkward.

Guys, we have great news.

Oh, are you guys on a date?

No. We decided we're not gonna do that for now.

We're back to just us being us.

And we're really happy.

As long as you guys are happy and paying for our dinner,

I'm happy too.

Well, I'm not happy about it.

It's gonna take me forever to get over this.

- Tell them about the contest! - Oh, yeah! We won!

We're going to the Zaliens premiere.

- Whoo! - That's so cool.

- Congratulations. - Show them the video.

Gorlot, give me the kanthian crystal.

Never, Xantu!

Then say good-bye to your Zalien spawn!

My babies!

Zalien brain suck!

No one eats my babies

but me!

Ready to finish shooting the scene?

Ooh, I can't. I'm late for my cousin's wedding.

I hope you put enough brain... One more time.

Whoo!

That was amaz... oops. One more time. Sorry.

Austin, don't shake the...

My hand's stuck on the door.

Austin, whatever you do, don't...

I'm sorry, could we do that one more time?
