Chuckles! I know what you can make

for Uncle Myles and Auntie Yasmine's anniversary dinner.

It's a burrito folded up into a pizza,

stuffed inside a pot pie.

I call it pizza rito pot pie.

It came to be in a dream.

More like nightmare! I'm not making that.

(laughs) You go, Larry Copper! Get away

from that fuzzy troll drooler.

Well then, what are you gonna make them?

I'm not sure about dinner yet,

but I'm making chocolate souffles for dessert.

Ooh.

If I don't do it exactly right, they'll fall faster

than you did for Bethany.

Yes! Use your wand on that talking tarantula.

I know someone who's talking too much.

And it ain't a spider.

I just want everything to be perfect. You know?

[gasps] Now bearwolves are coming?

Rebecca, what are you doing?

I'm reading, obviously.

No, reading's like this. "Once upon a time,

there was a swaggalicious rapper named Dylan.

He took over the rap industry." The end.

And you're like, what? Oh, no. Yeah, you did.

You're not supposed to cheer on a book.

It's just letters on a page.

It's her "Larry Copper" book.

It's about Black wizards. Everyone's reading it.

This is the new book. It just came out.

Bethany and I are trying to finish it first

so there are no spoilers. I think I'm winning.

Ooh, I'm a wizard. I have special powers.

I can fly on a broom. Wee, hee, hee.

Boom.

You're making fun, but it's no weirder

than your super hero stuff. [gasping]

They can fly. They have powers.

Rebecca, it's completely different.

And if he's such a powerful wizard,

why doesn't he give himself a cooler name?

A magical brother named Larry. Wack!

[music]

Hey, Dylan.

Have you seen my "Larry Copper" book?

Why would I have your silly book?

I'm too busy working on my mixtape.

After I lost everything, I had to start from scratch.

And if I don't get it exactly right,

-I'll never be a rapper. -Yeah, you're right.

I mean, that would be pretty strange

if you took it right after you made fun of it.

Well, let me know if you see it.

See ya.

This is literature! Not a door stop!

This is exactly like that time you used my brush

to prop up your wobbly desk.

And it's ripped? This is a brand new book!

My bad, my bad.

Maybe there's a spell in there that can fix that.

Are you serious?

This is the attitude you're gonna take?

Are you gonna read it to me? No!

Worse. I'm gonna curse you.

No, not that.

Halan any rhythmo Dylan.

[choking]

What is happening to me?

I'm just kidding.

Nothing because curses aren't real.

[laughter]

Well, when it kicks in, I'll be the one laughing.

[shrieks]

You sure it didn't put a curse on you?

[laughs] Oh, man.

Hello, Charlie. I'm getting your dad

the perfect present.

And he's gonna love it.

Is it something cool? Something with new tech?

-Those are the best gifts. -Oh, it's even better.

It's an essential oil air diffuser.

It can make any kind of smell.

Lawn mower clippings, camping trip, even dry wall.

It's called the Smelly.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.

What's with the no, no, no, no, nos?

That gift idea stinks!

Pun intended.

What do you mean? It's amazing.

And I'm a great gift giver. I am the gift whisperer.

I can pick the perfect gift for anyone.

-Really? -Yes, really.

You gave me this as a gift.

You used a photo of me in mid sneeze.

Why?

You look adorable in that photo.

And now you have a customized apron

of absolute cuteness.

It's scary.

You may not love all the gifts I get you, but your Dad does.

No, he doesn't.

He's just perfected his I love it face.

I love it.

Look, you should listen to me. I'm a gift ninja, hwah,

which outranks a gift whisperer.

Hm, thank you. But I know your dad.

And he loves the smell of the outdoors.

And soon he can have them indoors anytime he wants

thanks to the Smelly.

Or maybe he'll like that high-tech mug that lets you

control the temperature of your drink from your phone.

He hates when his coffee gets cold.

Nah.

I'm off to get a Smelly.

[music]

Why is it not closing?

Hey, Dylan. You have a little something

all over your shirt.

Yeah, I know. My pen blew up on me.

Ah, been there.

That's why I only use the Trevanoff 3000.

It can write up to a mile underwater and in space.

Why would you need to write underwater?

You know what? I don't have time for this.

I'm having the worst day.

This morning, my backpack zipper broke,

I tripped on the stairs, and now I can't close my locker.

Look!

It can't get worse.

I hope it gets better.

It got worse!

[sighs]

Really? Dylan just ripped your book

and he wasn't even sorry?

-Unbelievable. -Right?

And Larry Copper is the only one in the kingdom

who can actually defeat the insidious swamp monsters.

He shouldn't have to be forced to hold Dylan's door open.

-Larry Copper deserves better. -Exactly!

So that's why I found a spell in the book and I cast it on Dylan.

And now he's cursed.

And he'll stay cursed until he apologizes

and replaces my copy of the book he ruined.

I know that's right.

Aw, man. Gum?

Yuck.

Dylan, it's not an accident you're having a bad day.

You're cursed.

Booder, do you hear yourself right now?

If I'm cursed, maybe I'll go haunt the teachers' lounge.

This is serious.

I heard Rebecca tell Bethany she used a curse on you

from the "Larry Copper" book.

Also, you're cursed, you're not a ghost.

You can't haunt things.

Someone should cast a spell on all of you

to get you over those silly books.

Dylan, listen to me. I would help you,

but this is the one day I didn't bring my wand to school.

What was I thinking?

Apologize to Rebecca or it's gonna keep getting worse.

Not happening.

More gum? Are you serious?

[music]

Oh, Charlie, there you are.

Let me show you what I got your dad.

Woo, the gift whisperer strikes again.

But it's just a Smelly.

No, it's even better. The Smelly 3000.

Now even smellier.

I just don't think it's what Dad wants.

I don't think so either. I know it's what he wants.

[whistling] I'm gonna prove you wrong.

-Watch and learn. -Charlie, don't.

Hey, Dad! What you up to?

Hey, son.

I was about to go cut some grass.

You good?

Hey, by the way, how's that anniversary dinner coming along?

My tummy can't wait to enjoy it.

Everything's great. I'm serving duck ala orange.

Well, Charlie, you always know how to pick the perfect thing.

I do always pick the perfect thing, don't I?

-So, mowing the lawn, huh? -Yeah.

The smell of mowed grass is pretty good.

Now, what if the house could smell like that all the time?

I'd think somebody left the door open.

Ah, I see.

What if the living room could smell like a camping trip?

No, no thank you. I'd rather the house smell like house.

Interesting.

You know, all these strange questions

remind me of a present your mom once gave me, yeah.

It was, uh, some sort of diffuser.

I think it was called the Stinky.

-Aw, really? -Mm-hmm.

-Did you love it? -No. No, I did not.

But I love your mom, so I gave her the I love it face.

I was like [gasps] I love it.

Aw, you don't say?

Yeah, anyway, I'm gonna cut the grass.

-I'll see you later. -All right, see ya.

All right, maybe I'm not the gift whisperer.

There's still time to get him something he'll like.

Okay. I'm off to the mall.

[music]

Oh! Oh! Oh, no, no, no.

Not on Young Dylan's watch.

Whew! I cannot let bad luck

ruin my mix tape. My career depends on it.

Time to unleash the rap beast.

Hey, uh, hey.

* Young Dillo Ooh, Ooh, yeah *

* I'm on stage with the bright lights *

* Kites are fun

What is happening? One more time.

* Yeah, Young Dillo Ooh *

* Everybody get down town, squirrels are brown *

* So are bears

What happened to my flow?

[evil chuckles]

Oh no! The curse was real!

[screaming]

[music]

I got your text. What do you want?

This is about what you want.

New copy of "Larry Copper". It's actually better than new.

I fixed the one I might have unknowingly destroyed.

So you can go ahead and uncurse me now.

Is this some kind of joke?

[sighs] Rebecca, I fixed your book.

Now, can you please lift this curse already?

I can't rap anymore because of it.

Well, too bad.

What I want is a new book and an apology.

Fine, I am very sorry for messing up your book,

even though it was dumb and extremely corny!

And that's from the heart.

-Happy now? -Far from it!

This isn't just about the book. It's about you

respecting me and my stuff.

You don't even respect my beats.

You could replace a book about magic,

but my magic is one of a kind.

So you should be apologizing to me.

Oh, me? I should be apologizing to you?

-Yes! -[shouting]

Excuse me, what is going on in here?

Grandma, Dylan took my "Larry Copper" book

and used it as a door stop and then he ripped it.

"Larry Copper", oh, his books are so good.

And the movies, too. So real.

She put a curse on me and now I can't rap anymore.

Which means I can't finish my mixtape

and become crazy rich and famous.

Curses?

Well now, that's asking for trouble.

I've spent some time in New Orleans.

Tell you what.

You don't wanna see a tiny doll wrapped in fabric

of your favorite dress, uh-uh.

That's what I'm saying.

So can you make her take this curse away?

I'm not worried about Rebecca being a voodoo priestess.

I am worried that you two can't seem to get along

for five minutes.

Now, tell each other you love them.

-What? -You heard me.

Tell each other you love 'em.

I love you, cousin.

I love you, too, cousin.

All right, get along.

I had my fingers crossed.

I had my fingers crossed and my toes.

And my legs!

[music]

Ooh!

Would you like anything else, Madam, Monsieur?

[chuckles] No, Charlie. Uh, no thank you. We're good.

-Mm, mm, mm, mm. - Wow!

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm! Charlie, that was delicious

with a side of scrumptious.

Mm!

Oops, napkin fell.

Rebecca,

remove the curse.

No, because you haven't apologized.

[Dylan growls]

Ow!

Secret sauce.

-You guys all right? -Oh, yeah.

Everything's good.

All right. Charlie, listen.

Let me tell you something, man.

This dinner, perfect. Perfect anniversary dinner.

Now, baby, I love you with all my heart.

But this orange duck is a close second.

I agree, Charlie.

You have totally outdone yourself.

And it looks so romantic.

Why, thank you, Madam.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get dessert.

-He killed it. -Yeah, he did.

Oh, well aren't you the perfect little helper?

I figured the best anniversary gift would be

the gift of cleaning.

No one should have to do the dishes on their special day.

Thank you.

Doing the dishes is my gift, too.

A brother's kinda strapped for cash.

You feel me?

-Aw. -I knew there was something.

-[chatter] -[laughter]

Rebecca, take this curse off of me.

-Apologize! -No!

Then, forget it.

Okay then, if you don't lift this curse,

I'll annoy you every moment I get for the rest of our lives.

Fine, you win.

But lifting a curse is harder than putting one on somebody.

So I'm gonna need Bethany's help.

I'll see if she's free.

Tell her to bring a wand! Maybe two!

-Sup? -Happy anniversary!

I hope you like it.

Well, happy anniversary to you too.

-I hope you like it. -Okay.

Oh, Myles!

You shouldn't have.

And baby, you should have. Yes!

The gift whisperer strikes again.

[music]

Are you guys sure I have to wear all this?

Yeah, you're wanting us to lift this curse, right?

I can be doing other things.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's all good. I can do this.

All right, Bethany. What do we have to do first?

Okay, it says we have to purify your essence

with enchanted cream.

Oh, so does that book have any love spells in it?

No!

Okay, now stand in the middle of the hula hoop.

And don't leave the hoop or else you'll be double cursed.

[Dylan sighs]

Wow! That feels tingly.

I think it's helping.

Good. Now repeat after me.

-I'm a... -I'm a...

-Dumb dumb. -Dumb dumb.

Now say it three times in a row.

I'm a dumb dumb. I'm a dumb dumb.

I'm a dumb dumb.

Oops, almost forgot. You have to spin in a circle.

But you said not to move.

Hurry, spin!

You're spinning the wrong way!

That's the direction of the curse! This way!

-[screaming] -[laughter]

What is going on in here?

Dylan, why are you dressed like that and covered with cream?

Rebecca and Bethany are removing the curse from me.

Rebecca Wilson.

Okay, okay, listen.

Bethany and I don't actually believe in curses.

We just set all this up to get back at you

for ruining my "Larry Copper" book, which he refuses

to apologize for.

This is not how family treats one another!

Now you two, get on outta here so I can talk to Dylan.

Baby, you haven't been cursed.

But what about all the bad luck I've had?

My pen exploded, I stepped in gum,

and I can't rap anymore.

Sit down here.

You have put so much pressure on yourself

to finish that mixed tape,

it's probably just stress.

You know, sometimes things happen

and there's nothing we can do about it.

But now for stress, I do have a ritual.

And I'm gonna do it with you 'cause your auntie

got me all stressed out.

Get comfy and close your eyes.

And in your mind, think of a place that makes you happy,

and safe, and calm.

My living room.

It could be anywhere like Hawaii or a yacht.

Oh, okay.

[sighs] My living room on a yacht.

All my favorite rappers are there, throwing me a party.

All right, in the living room on a yacht.

Okay, now, breathe in for four beats.

Hold that breath for four beats.

And then exhale gently for four beats.

Now, how do you feel?

I feel better. I feel more relaxed.

Good. Now, try to rap.

* I can always count on Grams for the win *

* It wasn't about no curses, it was just about my stress *

* keeping me from my verses But I'm back now *

All right. Oh, I'm so glad I could help!

Uh, grab that towel and wipe yourself off

'cause in the meantime, I got to get me something to eat.

I'm hungry. Mm.

Can I have some?

I think you've had enough.

[music]

Wow!

Larry Copper's fire with that wand.

Literally.

I'm glad to see you like "Larry Copper".

And thanks for the new book.

I'm sorry, cuz, for everything.

I was clowning the book, but to be honest, it's pretty dope.

And I'm sorry for making you think curses were real

and making you do all that silly stuff.

It's all good.

And if I'm being honest, it's pretty cool

having you in the book club, cuz.

Yo, I love this part!

When Larry gets caught by one of the creepy soul suckers.

Wait, I haven't gotten to that part yet.

Neither have I.

I also like this part when he goes against

the nasty seven-eyed tree beast, just the two of them.

And Larry's like, bam, blam, ha!

-Stop! -No spoilers.

And I also like that part...

[girls humming]

-I also like that part... -[music]

[music]
