[laughter]

Charlie, this French toast is tr�s bien.

That's French for "very good."

Merci beaucoup.

That's French for "thank you."

Yoink.

Hey, that was the last piece!

What's French for "Snooze, you lose"?

R�p�ter tu perds.

Yeah, I'm not even gonna try that.

Anyways, listen. I've been checking out

my favorite record labels lately,

and they all got one thing in common.

A crippling fear of wolves?

No, man, that's just you.

What they all have is tons of stars,

so we need to keep building our roster.

Sign more artists.

I don't disagree.

According to the Harvard Business Review,

a deep bench gets you fat stacks.

Well, they didn't say it exactly like that.

Don't worry, I'm picking up

what you're putting down, little mama.

But you know what, though? This reminds me of Barry Gordy.

Barry Gordy?

The talking blueberry on TV?

No, the founder of Motown Records.

Yeah, he had boatloads of stars, you know?

-He had The Temptations. -[Yasmine] Oh!

-He had The Four Tops. -[Yasmine] Oh!

The Supremes.

Oh, you mean old people music.

They're called the oldies.

The oldies, yeah.

How is that better?

It's not. I hear that now.

Well, back to human Barry.

He was just like you guys.

He recorded all that music right in his own house.

Pretty impressive for a talking blueberry.

Oh, my sweet boy.

You just stick to cooking.

Thanks, Mom.

Yeah, that famous Motown sound of his

was just a hole he cut in the attic

and put a microphone in it.

Wait, so I can cut a hole in the attic?

Not if you don't wanna come up missing.

Forget I said that.

Yeah.

So what do you say, Rebecca?

You down with the plan?

Yeah.

And I think the next artist we should sign

is the guy standing right behind you.

Who?

You snooze, you loose.

Had that coming, didn't I?

You did.

How do you say "boom" in French?

? From the Chi down in ATL, family living well ?

? Uncles Myles ain't understand my style?

? Had to show and tell?

? Auntie Yaz said I'm good at math?

? I should never fail?

? And Cousin Becca, she a stepper?

? Charlie rolling with the kid?

? Yeah, ah [Who?]?

? You gon' love Young Dylan?

? Yeah, ah [Who?]?

? Who gon' love Young Dylan??

? Yeah, ah [Who?]?

? Who gon' love Young Dylan??

? Yeah, ah [Who?]?

? You gon' love Young Dylan?

? Yeah, ah [Who?]?

? Who gon' love Young Dylan??

? Yeah, ah [Who?]?

? You gon' love Young Dylan?

[music]

And that's the plan.

You're looking at D&R Talent Scouts

for Beatzlanta Records.

Well, [chuckles]

if it's talent you want, look no further.

[clears throat]

? B to the E to the T to the H to the A to the N to the Y ?

? Yeah, you know my name ?

? My name is Betha-nigh ?

But your name is "Betha-nee."

Yeah, but "Betha-nigh" rhymes.

Yo, I'm in.

Sorry, bestie, we're not signing you.

Because they're signing me.

? Uh, B-Booder, I like to ride, uh, the scooter ?

Do we even need to say it?

-I'm not Beatzlanta material? -You are not.

Look, we don't know who we're gonna sign yet.

We'll just know it when we see it.

Hey, Andre, Mom accidentally switched our lunches.

Can I have mine?

It wasn't an accident.

I took yours instead of mine.

But that's not cool. Give it back!

No.

I'm not playing with you, Andre.

Give me my lunch.

Look, little girl.

No, you look.

? I'm only gonna say this once ?

? 'Cause I don't wanna make a scene ?

? But I'm tired of the way you treat me ?

Why you got to be so mean?

? Just give me my lunch right now ?

? And the other Nova won't come out ?

? You already know the deal ?

If she shows up, things get real.

? What you think Mama's going to say ?

? When she finds out you're the one who broke her vase? ?

? Do you really want to find out? ?

? I don't think so ?

? Judging by the look on your face ?

? So give me my lunch right now ?

? Or the truth is gonna come out ?

? You know I'm not lying and if I start crying ?

? Then it's ovah ?

Stop bullying Nova!

? Listen, bro, we don't beef over cheese and bread ?

? You look mad, so you might wanna do what she says ?

? No time for actin' jelly, she got you in a jam ?

? And if she tell your mom, you'll be grounded again ?

? Do you wanna find out if she can take you down? ?

? Not in front of everybody right here, right now ?

? Looks like Super Nova is about to blow up ?

? So just give her her lunch if you know what's up, ah ?

? Give me my lunch right now ?

? Or the truth is gonna come out ?

? If you think I'm bluffing, then you don't know nothing ?

? Don't you be stupid You know that I'll do it... ?

[applause]

Now, was that so difficult?

Yo, I think we found our next artist.

The lunch thief?

No, man!

His little sister, Nova.

Oh, that makes much more sense.

[Dylan] I've been bragging all my life

I can spot talent from a mile away.

I'm telling you, she's just too young.

-I'm sorry. -[Dylan sighs]

So you're saying we shouldn't sign her.

But that girl has vocals.

That little girl.

Her name is Nova and she's only 10.

That's way too young.

Good point.

No, it's not.

Also a good point.

Wait, how so?

If she slays at 10, imagine what she'll do at 11.

And 12. And 13.

And 14. And 15.

I get it. I can count.

And 16. And 17.

And 18?

-My man. -Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Angel investing.

Buy low, sell high.

But doesn't she remind you of somebody?

A young Beyonc�?

A young Rihanna?

A young H.E.R?

A young you.

Who is you? I don't know her.

No, you, Dylan.

Hey, guys. How was school?

-Oh! -Terrible.

I'm sensing tension.

I think the grownups should leave

before they get pulled in.

Myles.

What's going on, kids?

We found a girl at school today

who will be perfect for our label.

Except she's only 10.

Signing a deal would be bad for her.

Just like it would have been bad for Dylan

to sign with DJ Khaled all those years ago.

Lucky for Dylan, you guys said no.

Okay, look.

It was the hard thing to do,

but it was also the right thing.

We are so good at doing the right thing.

Right?

Wait. Hold on.

How are you so sure it was the right thing?

Well, for starters,

if we had let you sign with DJ Khaled,

you'd always be off on tour.

I mean, think about all the things

you would have missed.

We wanted to give you a stable home,

family, friends.

Consistent bedtime.

What?

What?

Sleep is important to the developing brain.

Just imagine how different your life would have been

if you had signed that record deal.

Here he comes. Here he comes. Here he comes. Here he comes.

[Myles & Yasmine] Dylan!

What's up, fam?

I'm home from my sold-out world tour.

And just in time

to put up your Best Artist Award.

Oh.

And where do you want me to put all these magazines?

And Geezys is sponsoring your next album.

It's All You Can Feet Sneakers.

Wow!

Uncle Myles, you're gonna build this for me?

Only the best for my star.

Also, you have a pet elephant!

And the elephant gets its own Geezys.

Really?

Oh, my God.

Can I have your autograph, please?

It's Charlie with a C.

Oh, my gosh.

I just got Young Dylan's autograph!

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

[pants, thuds]

[music]

I coulda had an elephant with Geezys!

I blame his mother.

The point is...

your life would have been bad, right?

So bad.

I think he means bad as in good.

I absolutely do.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be upstairs.

Not chillin' with Uncle Trunkle.

Who's Uncle Trunkle?

It's what I would have called my pet elephant.

Again, I blame his mother.

It's his mama's fault.

[music]

[Myles whistling cheerfully]

[wolf whistles]

You know what? I'm not even gonna ask.

Oh, thank goodness.

Now I feel like I have to.

So, look.

This thing about Dylan, right?

And, um, I mean, I know we did the right thing,

but it doesn't mean it wasn't hard on him.

Right? So I figured I'd do something nice for the kid.

Well, I wish it didn't involve a toolbox.

Don't worry!

I'm keeping an eye on him!

It's just a little father-son construction, baby.

And demolition.

Demolition?

I don't like the sound of that.

Relax, honey.

We're just building a recording booth in the attic

so we can give Dylan

that Motown sound I've been telling him about.

-What? -[Myles] Yeah.

Remember, Mom?

The blueberry guy?

Charlie, Barry Gordon is--

Baby, just, mm-mm. I've been telling him.

-It's best to just move on. -All right.

Well, I can't believe I'm saying this,

but maybe this is a good idea.

You found a way to do something nice for your nephew

while bonding with your son.

What can I tell you, baby?

I'm on a roll.

All right, Charlie, you ready?

-[Charlie] Yep. -Let's go to the attic.

[glass shattering]

I was on a roll.

Myles...

Well, good thing I'm an architect. [chuckles]

[music]

Yo, I got your text. What's up?

All shall be revealed in due time,

dear cousin.

You're talking weird. This can't be good.

Oh, it's very good.

This morning, I wanted to help us find our next star,

but now it's personal.

Let me guess.

You want to sign Nova just to prove to my parents that they

should have let you sign with DJ Khaled.

Exactly.

Hold up.

Think about it.

If we sign Nova and make her a star,

Auntie Yaz and Uncle Myles

will see her life get better and not worse.

It will prove my point.

Dylan, Nova is too young.

Signing her would be a big mistake.

I hear you, but the thing is,

I really thought you were gonna go along with this.

Dylan, what did you do?

Yo, yo, yo!

Your girl Nova's in the... the garage?

Okay.

Must be a startup company.

Oh, hey! Really appreciate you

believing in me and giving me a tryout.

It might be the smartest move you could have made.

Give me a second, please, Nova.

I already kind of, sort of, told her we wanted to sign her.

Yes, I figured that out.

Thank you.

Now I have some requests.

Who do I give the list to?

Uh, anybody?

Can you give us a second?

Can't sign Nova behind my back.

I know.

We needed her parents' permission.

That's why this is just a tryout.

But trust me, you'll start liking her.

Why are you smiling?

Because I know how this ends.

Nova is gonna turn full diva and break you.

And I'm here for it.

Let's start the show.

Okay, but spoiler alert, I'm going to prove you all wrong

by making Nova a star,

and it's not gonna turn her into a diva.

Hey, I don't want to be that artist,

but I have a few more demands.

Oh, yeah, that's the stuff.

What's designer coconut water?

I don't know, but I want it.

You want a crown and a scepter?

My dad calls me his little princess.

Plus I'm...manifesting.

Well, I'm sorry, but...

a princess also needs a princess dress.

Really?

This manifesting stuff really works.

Let's see what else I want.

[music]

Yep, so you see,

a little hard work, a little razzle dazzle.

And serious smarts.

A father-son team can fix a window.

Good in the world.

And what about the mess you made when you did that?

-I blame Charlie. -I blame the internet.

Whatever it is, it's a small price to pay to let

Dylan know we got his back.

Now, on to the attic.

So I can give Dylan that...

? Motown sound Motown sound ?

Tape measure, Son.

-There you go. -All right.

-Myles. -I got this.

I got this. Thank you.

Okay.

Got it. I got it.

Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him.

Starting now.

All right, Son.

Go get me some ice cream.

[music]

All right, Nova, just go a little higher on the top

and you're good, all right?

Five, six--

Five, six, seven, eight.

? There's music playin' all around ?

? Nobody's fightin' ?

? Everybody's gettin' along ?

? Kids on the block havin' all of the fun ?

? Lookin' for a problem, can't find one ?

? Turn on the TV and there's no bad news ?

? People are prayin' for peace ?

? Picked up a school book, a couple new looks ?

? Face on the history books looks like me ?

? No, we don't see color We just see each other ?

? 'Cause we're all the same ?

? No more running for cover 'cause the only thing ?

? Falling from the sky is rain ?

? If I didn't have to, I would never wake up ?

? Wake up, I don't wanna do it ?

? Really want the world to see what I see ?

? 'Cause I... ?

? Have a dream ?

Yo, that was fire!

Thanks.

That was great.

For you, maybe, but not for me.

I want to do it again.

No, we don't need to do it again.

No one says no to Nova.

You hear that, Dylan?

No one says no to Nova.

You still don't see the problem here?

She's still manifesting.

Oh, really?

Is that why you manifested her

a make-your-own sundae bar?

Because I'm a man, and I fested it for her?

All this stuff costs money.

It's like we've been attacked by Godskrilla.

First, she's a diva.

Now she's a money-eating lizard monster.

You know, I think you're being too hard on her.

She's actually kind of nice.

Question.

Does the "D" in "D&R" stand for "Duh"?

That wasn't very nice.

No. The "D" stands for "Dylan."

Well, then where are all the cherries, Dylan?

What cherries?

The ones that go on top of a sundae.

Duh!

[Dylan gasps]

[growls angrily]

Let me translate.

"You got ice cream on my Geezys.

You must pay."

Oh, please. I'm Nova.

You guys need me more than I need you.

Okay.

I'm done with this and you.

Dylan, do you agree?

[growls angrily]

He agrees.

Get her!

[growls, yells]

[Dylan] Get back here, Nova!

[Nova] I said I was sorry!

[Becca] No, you didn't!

Because Nova never does.

Wait. I like that.

? Nova never--uh Nova never--uh ?

She's getting away.

And you're seriously making up a rhyme right now?

Sorry. I can't turn it off.

Go! Go!

Well, we make a great team.

[laughs] We? What are you doing?

Standing here looking good.

I thought I'd channel one of Motown's biggest icons.

[Dylan] Stop!

That's what I'm talking about.

? Stop-- ?

[Nova] No! I'm manifesting my escape!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Myles, are you okay?

[shouting]

-I'll get the ladder. -No need!

I got this!

[grunts]

Piece of cake, baby.

-[screams] -[yelps]

Dad?

[Myles] I was on a roll.

[Dylan] Get back here!

Ugh--agh! Slippy Geezys!

[yells]

That's what you get for messing with Nova.

Okay, that's enough.

The B in Beatzlanta stands for the best.

And it's about time you start respecting us as such.

Now, Dylan has something he wants to say to you.

Yeah! You ruined my Geezys!

And?

And Rebecca was right.

We can't sign you to Beatzlanta Records.

You're just a kid.

I'm not a kid. I'm a star.

And a princess.

Don't forget that part.

That's just what a diva would say.

Mm-hmm.

But don't worry about it.

I would have been the same way if I signed a deal at your age.

But luckily, I had people to stop me.

Hmm.

I'm glad he came around.

Yeah, me too, 'cause I was never going to get

that Motown thing right.

Hey, listen, you're very talented,

but it's like what DJ Khaled once told me.

"Stay in school, stay focused, and keep dreaming."

Okay, but in my defense, I didn't ask to be signed.

You came to me and said you'd give me whatever I wanted.

Oh, he did, did he?

Yeah, so that's on you.

Also, you should know better.

You're like 40 or something, right?

What? I'm a kid, too! Tell her, Rebecca!

Nova gets what Nova wants.

And Nova wants to think you're 40.

Bye, old timer!

Where are you going?

To get my crown and my scepter.

A princess also needs her princess drip, okay?

Okay.

Le mic, le drop, le boom.

[music]

[music]

Dylan, are you okay?

It is what it is.

We're really proud of you, Dylan.

You did the right thing with Nova.

Yeah, and although we stand by

our DJ Khaled decision,

we do feel a little sorry

that you never got your elephant.

Oh, but I did, though.

Hmm?

See...

I know a guy

who knows a guy

who knows a guy at the circus.

[laughter]

You're good.

Like, for two seconds, I almost believed him.

[elephant trumpets and stomps]

Dylan?

What have you done?

What have you done?

Uncle Trunkle, save me!

[screams]

[door shuts]

Well,

who wants to ride the elephant?

[music]
