[music]

Ladies and gentlemen,

thank you for coming over and joining us today.

We live here.

I don't, I was told I had to come over

and get my good bowl back.

I only had it for two days.

Anyway, as you all know,

I been crushing it on rebooting my mixtape.

Wait, mixtape?

That's the first time I'm hearing about a mixtape.

Yasmine, you know something about a mixtape?

I do recall Dylan talking about one thing

over and over again, day after day.

-Was it a mixtape? -Was it a mixtape?

Yeah, the one his old crew destroyed when they came here,

remember?

It means everything to Dylan,

is going to be the best thing since slic--

They're just joking, Chuckles.

Dial it back, bro.

I'm sorry, but why are you forcing us to be here?

Well, my mixtape isn't my only shot at global stardom.

I'm still on the hunt to be on the Little MCs competition.

We just reached round 2.

Little MCs ?

Yeah, Mom. It's a reality show where a bunch of rappers,

they live together, and they compete each week

by writing original songs. It's hosted by some rapper named

Doggy Johnson...?

-Poochie Francis! -Poochie Francis!

That's what I said.

So one of my grandbabies is going to be a TV star?

Mom, hold it, hold it.

Let's not getting ahead of things, all right?

But we said that Dylan could submit.

You know, we thought it'd be good for his career,

so he might be on TV.

Not to be that girl, but again,

why are you forcing us to be here?

You're here for a private screening of

Dylan's audition tape!

Starring Dylan, directed by me.

Called, A Day in the Life of Young Dylan.

Please hold your applause till the end.

[music]

It was my idea to put the floor sandwich part.

It just felt right.

Can I send this copy to Bethany?

She's been having trouble sleeping.

And I know this is going to work.

I'm going to get that bowl.

Hey, hey. Come on, guys. Come on, now. Hey, be nice.

Come on. It wasn't that bad, right, Grandma?

[snoring]

Wow.

Not what I wanted to hear.

* Ma knew I wasn't foolin', not a regular guy *

* Everybody follow me, I'ma take you on a trip *

* Buckle up, let's go, I'ma get you all a hit *

* I'm a star, came up from a block in Chi-Town *

* Living large

* I'm trying to balance school and these bars *

* Came far Ain't no better feeling *

* I tell 'em, you gon' love Young Dylan *

* Young Dylan, Young Dylan Young Dylan, Young Dylan *

* Young Dylan * Young Dylan

* Tell 'em you gon' love Young Dylan *

Charlie, this is my chance

to show my handsome face on TV all over America.

After that, move along The Rock, I'm the next big action star.

We just need to find a way

to make your audition video stand out.

Okay, I watch every season of Little MCs ,

and one thing they have is a whole lot of drama.

That and a bunch of commercials about headache medicine.

Of course! People's heads are probably hurting

from hearing all that drama. Duh.

Chuckles, do you remember when Booder and Christian

were arguing about who would win in a fight,

a vampire or a werewolf?

Remember it? I still have my team vampire T-shirt.

So you wanna put some drama on your audition tape?

Yes!

That's what Little MCs is all about.

That, and dope lyrics.

Once they see all the drama in my video,

they'll pick me for sure.

All right, I can shift my creative vision

to make sure we get you on Little MCs .

Chuckles, let's make the most dramatic, jaw-dropping

audition tape the world has ever seen.

All right, I got you.

Now, tell me, what's your stance on table flipping?

What?

[music]

Wow, Bethany, that whale drawing looks amazing.

It looks like it's about to splash us.

I hope it doesn't

because I don't want it to smudge your beautiful lettering.

We're kinda rockin' this science project, aren't we?

Yes, we are.

And good thing too.

Mr. Mohler said, it's the most important

assignment of the year.

I heard he was going to use this project

for class placement next year.

I heard that, too.

And if I don't get into honor science, my five-year plan

is going to take at least seven and a half years.

Well, good thing our project looks amazing.

Should we give ourselves a round of applause?

You, all you. You did amazing, oh my gosh.

But, but, we can't give me all the credit.

-Look at that paper. -Oh my gosh, thank you so much.

-Hours, it took you hours. -It did take me a few hours.

[horn honks] Oh, my mom's here to pick me up.

Do you want to keep the poster?

Why don't you keep it, partner?

Okay, partner.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye, Bethany. See you at school.

See you at school.

You know, if you and Miles organized this kitchen

differently, you might be able to find things.

Oh, you know how it is with three kids and their friends

running in and out of here.

We're lucky we have a kitchen at all.

-Charlie? -Charlie.

Oh...

Dylan?

Dylan, and least it doesn't have a sock in it this time.

-Hi, Grandma. -Hey, baby.

You guys find your favorite bowl yet?

Nope.

Did you check the dishwasher?

Oh.

Nice sweater.

I'm keeping that, too.

It's mine.

Not anymore.

[music]

Charlie. Where are you at?

Charlie?

Man, that's a great disguise.

And...

Voila.

They'll never know we're recording them.

Yeah, Charlie. I see, my boy.

All right, make sure you get my good side.

Which one's your good side?

Both of them.

Bethany's coming, go, go.

Wow, Bethany, I knew you were a work of art,

but I didn't know you could make them too.

What do you want, Dylan?

Oh, I just wanted to say how next level your drawings are.

And I can't believe Rebecca was talking smack

about letting you do all the important parts.

She said what?

Oh, no, I wasn't supposed to say that.

I'm sure she didn't really mean how she doesn't trust you.

Oops. Again.

Some partner she is.

I'd like to see her draw three different sea mammals

on a poster this size.

I feel your pain.

Got it. So dramatic.

Oh, here comes some more drama. Hit record.

Hey, do you know what's going on with Bethany?

I just said hi to her, and she just glared at me.

Did you say something to her? She doesn't like you.

I just asked her about the science project

you two were doing, and she said you took over.

Took over?

We split that project down the middle like a PB and J.

Well, she did say you were jelly, get it?

Because she was doing all the work.

And you were bossing her around like it wasn't a group project.

That is such baloney.

I can't believe she would say that.

I got it. And I got your good sides.

That's why you're my favorite director.

Wait, I'm your only director.

That's why you're also my favorite director.

[music]

[music]

I just organized the cabinets.

Nothing is where it's supposed to be.

Looks like we did a good job reorganizing the kitchen.

Everything is topsy turvy in here.

Oh, Mama Yaz,

we saw Grandma in the kitchen when we came home from school.

Right, Charlie?

Yeah. She said something about a place for everything

and everything in its place.

Ugh...

Hey babe.

Ooh. What did I do? What's wrong?

Why don't you ask your mother? She seems to know everything.

She wants to be in charge of the kitchen.

She can be in charge of the whole darn house.

I don't know if Poochie Francis will like this part.

Mama Yaz won't actually put Grandma in charge. Right?

I don't know.

[Rebecca] You stop touching me.

I barely even laid a finger on you.

Hey girls. How's it going?

It's not. I'm just here to get Rebecca's permission

to add something to the poster

because I can't be trusted with important things.

Oh, so you think that I'm controlling?

I don't know, did you add this argument to your five-year plan?

-Maybe I should take the poster. -Hey, now, no--

I did half the work, so I should get a say, too.

Girls, be careful. You're gonna rip--

Rip the poster. That's what happened.

You did that on purpose!

It's going to take us hours to redo this!

Correction, it's going to take you hours to redo this.

I'm out, partner.

Good. See you never! Partner.

Okay, listen, you guys, com--come here. Come here.

Calm down. Calm down. All right, look,

maybe we should sit down and talk this out loud.

-No! -No!

I am not talking to her.

I'm not talking to you. More!

Don't come over to my house ever again.

[Miles] Listen, guys. Bethany. Beth--Rebecca...

Somebody's going to listen to me today!

Urgh.

Rebecca!

Don't look at me like that.

On TV shows it's always better after a commercial break.

Real life doesn't have commercial breaks!

Did things accidentally spiral out of control

during the making of my video submission for Little MCs ?

Heck yeah! But as they say,

the show must go on.

I think you're supposed to wait until I ask you something

before you talk.

Shh, this is my confessional.

I'm pretty sure things will be back to normal by tomorrow.

I don't know, Mom is taking back the kitchen

and the sound she's making in there don't sound normal.

What about Rebecca and Bethany?

Man, they're probably already friends again.

Hey, guys. Have you seen my hair tie that Bethany gave me?

I'm throwing out all her stuff.

You mean the hair tie on your wrist?

Oh.

Rebecca, don't you think that you and Bethany should...

work this out? You argued before.

She ripped up all of our hard work.

Don't mess with my honor science.

What are y'all doing?

Oh, we're working on Dylan's audition video.

Hmm. Can I help?

-No! -No!

You have to try and fix your science project.

You don't have time to help us.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

See ya.

-See ya. -Bye.

Okay. If I still want to get on Little MCs ,

my audition tape can't just show Young Dylan

bringing all of the drama, but...

show that Young Dylan bringing people together.

I still think flipping a table should still be on the table.

Not funny, Chuckles.

But, maybe we can get Rebecca and Bethany to make up

and use all that heartfelt and mushy stuff for the video.

Chu--Chuckles, what are you doing?

All this talk of flipping tables has me pumped up.

Give me a hand flipping this baby.

[music]

I have a new system.

If you need to use something, you write it in the kitchen log

and then you check it back in when you're done.

So I have to check out every...

-bowl I use? -Yes!

6:30, bowl, Charlie.

It's a perfect system. Can't you see?

[cackles]

Your grandma won't know what hit her.

I need more labels.

Out of my way.

I hope your plan includes fixing that

and Rebecca and Bethany.

It does.

We'll, host a reunion special.

You know how everyone from a reality show

gets together after the season is over?

And talk about their issues.

Hmm. Sounds like a win-win situation.

It'll be like, we never made those fights happen

in the first place.

Exactly.

Now we need to think of how

we can get everyone here for the reunion.

Let's go.

They made us argue?

Well, it's time for Dylan and Charlie

to get a taste of their own medicine.

They wanted a reality TV reunion special,

so we're going to give them one that they'll never forget.

I just feel bad for leaving your dad out of the plan.

Oh, girl, it's for the best.

My son never could keep a secret.

He's the one who told me about your dry scalp and ashy knees.

And he told me the real reason

you were banned from church bingo.

Counterfeit bingo cards, Viola.

That boy talks too much.

Shh, I hear him coming.

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

All right. Remember to sell that we're mad at each other.

Oh. Hey, everybody.

Any idea why we are gathered here again today?

Was it new audition tape?

-Beats me. -No clue.

Thank you! For coming here today.

We live here.

No, you live here.

I'm just here for my apology.

I'm sorry that you're going to fail science

because you ruined our project.

Okay, hold on, Rebecca. Now, listen, that's,

that's not like you. Apologize to Bethany right now.

I actually wanted everyone here today because

I noticed a lot of fighting, and we would like to help.

Yasmin and I have come to

an arrangement on our own, actually.

Oh, well, that's, that's what's up, Mama.

-You know, I always love-- -I'm leaving town

and I'm taking Rebecca with me

so she can start her new school in Savannah.

Yes, we spoke to the school and they said the damage is done.

Bethany and Rebecca can't go to the same school anymore.

Rebecca, sweetie, are your bags packed?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. Now what? Hold on, hold on.

Wait, wait. I have these cards.

These cards are going to fix everything.

Dylan, it's too late for us to fix anything.

I'm just here to get my stuff.

Oh, I don't understand. Okay. What is going on?

Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Don't you guys feel stronger as a team?

What are the times in the past when you guys felt like a team?

Get out of her way, Dylan.

I can speak for myself, Rebecca.

Dylan, get out of my way.

No! Wait. I'm going to fix you guy's friendship.

We were never really friends.

[gasps]

Now wait a second. That's enough. Okay?

You--Ooh, ooh wait!

Really?

You just made me splash water on my dad!

No one does that.

I guess the only thing worse than your friendship

is your aim.

Oh, wait, hold on, hold on. Wait.

[Viola] You know what, Missy?

When I got my bowl back, it had a chip in it.

Oh, exactly, what are you saying, Viola?

What I'm saying is you borrow my stuff,

and then you ruin it.

My Crock-Pot, my mountain bike and

my son.

Oh, you ruined him way before I got him.

Oh!

Do not say that about my baby.

Oh, bring it!

Oh, my God--

[indistinct shouting]

What do we do? This is outta control!

All right, stop!

This is all me and Charlie's fault.

We didn't want anyone to get hurt.

We just wanted to make a cool video

so I can be on Little MCs and work with Poochie Francis.

I'm so confused.

We wanted to show the people at Little MCs

that Dylan knew what made good television,

so we made you all into a reality show.

I thought I could fix all the fights.

Rebecca...

Please don't leave. I'm really sorry.

You were right, Rebecca. He did confess.

I've never been more confused in my life.

I overheard them talking about this reunion,

so we decided to play a little trick on them,

to get them to tell the truth.

You're not leaving?

Nope. Can't get rid of me yet.

And no one thought to tell me about it and let me in.

Oh, son, you ain't never been able to keep a secret.

We had to keep you in the dark just to sell it.

And Dylan, we're so proud of you

for having goals and working towards them.

But if your goals come at the expense of the people

who love you, it's not worth it.

I know Aunty Yaz.

I just wanted to make a good audition tape for the show.

But what about me and Bethany's project?

Oh, Charlie and I can help you.

And the two of you are in charge of dishes

and kitchen cleanup for a week.

-One week? -Oh, Viola's right. Make it two.

Ugh...

Well, those punishments do sound good.

I'll just find a way to use them in the new audition tape.

Let's go. Chuckles.

Hold on, hold on! Hey, hey, hey. Not so fast. Get over here.

Dang it!

Thought you almost got away, didn't you?

Listen, you know we can't allow you to do the Little MCs , right?

You're not ready. Not yet.

We can talk about it again next year.

[loud crashing]

[screaming]

Man, that felt good!

I see why they do it on those shows.

What? We were already in trouble.

[music]

[music]

Why would you put that next to the sink?

The kitchen law clearly says it goes in the cabinet

above the countertop.

Well, if you know where everything goes,

why don't I wash and you organize?

[indistinct arguing]

Do I feel like Charlie and Dylan are in this mess because of me?

No, they brought this onto themselves.

And I don't feel bad.

Not one bit.

That's great footage.
