Angela D'Angelo Transcript

My Dad The Rockstar: Angela D’Angelo Transcript

[The episode opens at the Silent Springs High School building. Camera cuts to the cafeteria with Serenity with the boys, then shifts to Willy, Quincy, and Alyssa.]

Quincy: I understand how rock breaks scissors and scissors cut paper, but then how can paper beat rock? It doesn’t make sense!

Willy: Sure it does. It’s like when Mega Sea X took on the Lava Leopard. He just went right over him.

Alyssa: It’s got something to do with physics; an irresistible force meeting a something or other object.

[As Alyssa was mid-sentence, Quincy turned sideways.]

Quincy: Yo, speaking of which…

[Throughout whistles and voices being heard, the camera cuts to Alyssa, then Willy, then Serenity and a boy, and lastly, two students; one male smiling as the camera then cuts and pans upwards to show a blonde beautiful girl named Angela D’Angelo walking over as a romantic R&B like tune plays while the camera cuts to Angela walking past Serenity, who is ignoring her, but then notices the boys making their way towards Angela.]

Serenity: Hey! (growls)

[Camera cuts to Angela still walking, then stopping to notice the boys are behind her with a look of displeasure on her face. Camera then cuts to Alyssa and Quincy.]

Alyssa: They never learn, do they? It’s amazing how some guys just lose it over Angela D’Angelo, don’t you think?

[Camera shifts to Willy, mouth open and drooling.]

Alyssa: I said ‘Don’t you think’?

Quincy: Looks like Willy’s just been Mega CX'd by an irresistible force.

Alyssa: Oh, great. Willy’s infatuated, too? Now this is just TOTALLY nauseating!

Willy: (standing up straight and fixing his face) Hi, I’m Willy. (holds hand out)

Angela: I’m Angela. Hi. (shakes his hand.) You know, you’re just about the only boy here who hasn’t acted ridiculous trying to impress me.

Willy: Oh! Well… I’m sure I could think of something.

Angela: And you’ve got a sense of humor, too. (chuckle) Well, I have to catch my bus now, so, umm…

Willy: Right, of course. Well, umm… say, uh, maybe some time we could, uh….

Angela: Yes?

Willy: Well, I mean, if you’re not too busy, that is, we could… maybe…

Angela: Uh-huh?

Willy: You know, get together, and, umm…..

Angela: Go on a pre-date?

Willy: (confused) A pre-date? I mean, yeah! A-a pre-date.

Angela: Sure. That would be awesome!

Willy: Really? I mean… how about, uhh?

Angela: Tomorrow?

Willy: Yeah, tomorrow!

Alyssa: Should we warn him about her weirdo parents?

Quincy: Nah, he probably wouldn’t listen anyway…just like all those other victims.

Angela: Sure. A pre-date tomorrow sounds good to me. My house at 4?

Willy: Perfect.

Angela: See you then! (leaves.)

[Willy waves and starts fawning.]

Willy: Angela D’Angelo… She and I have everything in common: crazy names, we go to the same school, we… breathe oxygen. We have a pre-date. (excited) Wow! A pre-date! (confused again) What’s a pre-date?

Alyssa: Poor Willy! He’s got no idea what he’s in for.

[Scene ends with a flame transition to Serenity talking on her cell phone while walking Mosh.]

Serenity: I don’t care what the other girls do. I don’t babysit without a writer on the contract!

[Serenity hangs up and soon stops. The camera then cuts to a teenage boy wearing all black counting blades of grass.]

Boy: 4,291, 4,292, 4,293, 4,294, 4,295, 4,296….

[Serenity gets an idea and walks past him, hoping to get the boy’s attention, but he is still counting, ignoring him.]

Serenity: Huh? (surprised)

Boy: (still counting)

[Serenity tries again, but is still ignored.]

Serenity: Hey! (growls and walks towards the boy angrily, pulling Mosh to her.) Hello? I shouldn’t even be talking to a gardener, I mean, really!

[Serenity is still ignored.]

Serenity: Nothing! (walks over to the boy again.) I am the daughter of the famous Rock Zilla, y’know.

[Serenity is still ignored, again]

Serenity: What is this? No one ignores me! (turns towards the boy.) Well, fine, since you insist, here’s my cell phone number. (hands out a slip of paper)

Boy: (frustrated) Now I’ve lost count. Whoever you are, leave me alone! (starts over) 1, 2, 3, 4…

[Serenity was angry, but had an idea. She trips herself up and lands on her butt in order to get his attention, but in the process also sends her cellphone airborne, causing Mosh to open his mouth and engulf it.]

Serenity: (shocked while the boy chuckles on. She then goes to open Mosh’s mouth to retrieve her phone, but is unsuccessful.) Please, please Moshy-dearest. Don’t swallow my phone. It tastes nasty. Blegh! Yucky phone! It’s my only way of communicating with all the movie moguls and modeling agents who want a piece of me! Please! (her eyes then turn wide) NOOOOOOOOO!

[End sequence and fade to black.]

[Camera reopens to the Zilla Manor, then cuts to the kitchen with Serenity marching slowly towards Mosh while Willy sits at the table, fawning over Angela.]

Serenity: C’mere Moshy! Good Moshy. That’s it. Stay, boy. Good, stay. Who’s a good boy, huh, Moshy? Serenity’s gonna give her Moshy-woshy a great big… (attempts to grab Mosh, but he jumps out of the way.)

[Crystal arrives and places a plate of food in front of Willy.]

Crystal: Please come to the table. Dinner is bonding time, Serenity!

Serenity: (still trying to retrieve her phone) What if he calls me?

Crystal: Serenity, try your deep breathing.

[Serenity tries as told, but angrily. It didn’t work.]

Serenity: Now give me my phone! (yells)

[As Serenity chases Mosh around, Willy stares at his plate, imagining it to be Angela’s face as a choir is heard.]

Willy: Angela….

Crystal: I recognize those symptoms! Talking to your dinner; it’s classic Zilla! He’s in love!

Serenity: In love with his dinner?

Crystal: Dear…

Willy: Mom, I have a pre-date. What is a pre-date?

Crystal: A pre-date? It must be some sort of date before the date. Weird… I mean—Oh! How wonderful! I wonder what I can do karmically? Ooh! I can try to influence the planetary entry!

Willy: I’d settle for some advice.

Crystal: (proud) It’s your first date… My baby’s growing up! *sniffle while voice breaks* I have to go inhale some geranium oil.

[Crystal then leaves the scene before a phone ringing is heard inside Mosh. Camera cuts to Serenity with Mosh’s tail in her ear and choking him.]

Serenity: Hello? Hello?

[Willy bangs his head on the table as the scene transitions to a video studio.]

Willy: Dad? I came to ask for some… advice.

Rock: Sure, but first, what do you think of my new video for ‘Rule Breaker’?!

[The scene transitions to the music video.]

[End Music Video]

Rock: Get the meaning?

Willy: (scratches his head in confusion) Don’t eat worms in science class?

Rock: No, my man, that a rule should be broken when the rule hurts people!

Willy: How about useful rules? Like… rules for dating?

Rock: Dating? You have a date?

Willy: Pre-date.

Rock: (teasing Willy) Whoa! Willy, Master with the Ladies!

Willy: Dad!

Rock: Sorry. (clears throat) Uh… sure, son. Let’s go into my lounge area and discuss this matter with my associate.

[Scene cuts to Rock sitting quietly and patiently, then to Willy sitting in front of him.]

Willy: Uhh… Dad? You were going to give me advice?

Rock: Skunk, how did it happen, man?

Skunk: (goes to sit beside Rock) They grow up, Rock. They grow up.

Rock: So now Willy’s a chick magnet, just like his father. Sorry, dude. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’ve got dominant genes.

Willy: (holding his head) Can we concentrate on advice?

Rock:  NEVER mention a girl you’re dating in television interviews, just in case she turns out to be a guy. *chuckling nervously*

Willy: How do I hold her hand and get her parents to like me?

Rock: (scratches head, thinking) No idea.

Skunk: (in unison with Rock) No idea.

Rock: (suddenly has an idea) Wait! How’s this? “Be yourself!”

Skunk: Good one!

Rock: You like that? I wasn’t sure. Maybe it should be, “Do your own thing, crazy man!”

Skunk: Uh, no. I like the first one better. Excellent following, Rock.

Rock: Well, I do what I can.

[Willy has his hand on his chin, unimpressed. Then the scene transitions to Willy in his room solving a math equation.]

Willy: Let’s see… Square root of 9 is… (daydreams) Angela… And 41 times Angela is…

[Suddenly, there’s a knock on the door, causing Willy to pick up his pencil and write.]

Willy: Come in!

[Crystal opens the door and enters the room.]

Crystal: I’ve studied the moon, the stars, I’ve read your chart, and examined the feng shui in your room.

Willy: (suddenly happy) Yes?

Crystal: And I’ve concluded that… you’re too young to date, Willy! (runs to Willy) My goodness, you’re only a baby! My baby can’t date!

Willy: (suddenly angry) What?

Crystal: (backs off of Willy) Oh! I-I mean… I’ve concluded that you must have a lion and a tiger at the gate in Chinese astrology terms.

Willy: Which in our language means?

[Crystal then suddenly freaks out, crying and runs out of the room. Willy’s phone rings and he picks it up.]

Willy: Hello?

Alyssa: (calling Willy) Hey, Willy. It’s Alyssa.

Willy: Glad you called. I need some advice about this pre-date thing.

Alyssa: What a coincidence! Q and I were just talking about that, and our advice is… Don’t do it.

Willy: Why not? Angela’s perfect for me.

Alyssa: Willy, Angela has never been on a date because no guy has ever made it past the pre-date with her parents.

Willy: Maybe it’s just the guys.

Alyssa: Or maybe it’s because Angela’s parents are PSYCHO.

[Crystal runs back in the room, still freaking out, then runs back out.]

Willy: Psycho sounds good to me.

[The scene then transitions to Willy at the doorstep of the D’Angelo residence, which happened to be the same house in the last sequence. He rings the doorbell and Angela opens it.]

Willy: Hi.

Angela: Hi!

[Angela’s parents then arrive to ruin the moment. Angela’s mother is blonde like her daughter, dressed in a white apron underneath a dark blue dress with pink polka dots on the bottom and black high heels with a white pearl necklace. Angela’s father is dressed as a normal middle-aged father, wearing glasses, a brown vest underneath a tan shirt with blue pants and tan and brown slippers.]

Mrs. D’Angelo: Hello. Ah! You must be William.

Willy: (looks down, then offers Angela flowers) Umm… these are for you. My mother suggested—

[Willy was cut off by Angela’s mother screaming before she swiped the flowers in a Ziploc bag.]

Mr. D’Angelo: The pollen and filth of flowers! They grow in dirt, you know! (he takes the flowers) It’s not something we like to bring inside!

Willy: Oh.

Mr. D’Angelo: That’s all right, William. No harm done. We’ll incinerate them later.

[He leaves with Mrs. D’Angelo with the bag]

Angela: (looking nervous) They were nice, Willy. Sorry about my crazy family.

Willy: That’s okay. Don’t get me started about MY crazy family.

[Mrs. D’Angelo reenters and shoves Angela back inside.]

Mrs. D’Angelo: Well, let’s not stand there letting heaven-knows-what into the house. Please enter, William.

[Willy does so, and the interior of the D’Angelo residence is shown; plastic wraps are wrapped around the furniture.]

Willy: Wow. Nice… plastic.

Mr. D’Angelo: William! Please remove your shoes in our home.

[Willy looks down at his shoes.]

Willy: Oh. Sorry.

[Angela facepalms herself. Willy takes his shoes off, and Mrs. D’Angelo, with tongs, picks up Willy’s shoes and walks off.]

Mrs. D’Angelo: Hold your breath, William. We’ve got to make sure the outside stays outside. (sprays all over and on Willy, causing him to cough.)

[Mrs. D’Angelo comes back with plastic shoes.]

Angela: Mom, I’m sure Willy doesn’t need those.

Mrs. D’Angelo: Nonsense. Here, William. Slip these on; they’ll form an effective barrier between our carpet and the microbial lifeforms that breathe in your socks.

[Willy puts on the shoes and stares at Angela, both smiling at each other until Mr. D’Angelo pulls him away from her, ruining the moment.]

Mr. D’Angelo: Please be seated.

[Willy sat down at the chair facing him, nervously smiling until he got a glimpse of an angry Mr. D’Angelo.]

Willy: This is your… chair, isn’t it?

Mrs. D’Angelo: Here, William. Sit right here.

[Willy got off the chair and went to sit in the one Mrs. D’Angelo directed him to.]

Mrs. D’Angelo: Here’s some freshly irradiated reconstituted apple juice.

[Willy took the juice and was just about to place it on the table, but Mr. D’Angelo reacted just in time to place a coaster.]

Willy: Oh. Sorry.

Mrs. D’Angelo: Where does your family live, William?

Willy: *gulp* Umm… Well….

[Willy sweats, and a flashback of the Zilla House is shown. After the flashback, Willy shakes off his nervousness.]

Willy: Over on Summer Street?

Mr. D’Angelo: I see. Does your father play… golf?

Willy: He plays… other things.

[There was a pause with the exception of Angela giggling nervously.]

Mr. D’Angelo: Ah, whew. Well, drink up!

[Willy takes a sip of his apple juice, and the same boy from the last scene enters the scene and sits in front of Willy. He is revealed to be Angela’s older brother.]

Angela: This is my brother Damien.

Damien: Don’t let the parents frighten you, Willy. They’re on prison leave right now, but they’re not dangerous.

[Angela giggles.]

Mrs. D’Angelo: Damien! Ugh! He thinks he’s amusing.

Willy: Damien. That’s an interesting name.

Damien: It means ‘devil’.

[Another pause, but shorter.]

Willy: Oh. *chuckles nervously* Umm, well, I… umm. *clears throat*

[Willy is suddenly interrupted by Serenity jumping up and down, looking out the window. The final time, she hit herself. Damien is seen looking out as well.]

Damien: Sorry. Some crazy girl’s been following me and pretending to be the daughter of Rock Zilla. *chuckle* As if.

Mr. D’Angelo: Rock Zillo, or whatever his name is, is a DEGENERATE who should not be allowed to live in this town, or on this planet for that matter!

Mrs. D’Angelo: We do not approve of listening to that trash. It corrupts the mind! What do you think, William?

Willy: Umm… *clears throat* I think music is a pretty personal choice.

Mr. D’Angelo: I’m afraid I must declare you wrong. They’re just like germs and viruses; depraved music has implications that spread to society and affect us all.

Mrs. D’Angelo: Especially because it’s the feeble-minded who are most susceptible to such pathogenic ideas.

Willy: Well, smart people go to the concerts, too.

[Mr. D’Angelo gets very angry and clenches his fist. Willy looks on and gets scared.]

Willy: Or so I’ve heard.

Mr. D’Angelo: I get the distinct impression you’ve been to a Rock Zilla concert. Angela, go wash your hands!

Angela: Dad, I really don’t think that’s—

[Angela is cut off by her father’s stern look.]

Angela: Necessary.

[Angela angrily marches onto the bathroom, leaving the scene. Willy nervously chuckles and looks out the window to see a poodle inside a plastic bag.]

Willy: Say, what’s your dog’s name?

Mrs. D’Angelo: The name of our dog will be of significance only if you progress beyond the pre-dating stage.

[Angela returns to the scene.]

Angela: Willy, just tell them about your parents. It’s nothing to worry about.

Mr. D’Angelo: Yes, whatever lineage you have couldn’t possibly be worse than having sprung from the loins of that filthy…

Mrs. D’Angelo: Disgusting…

Mr. D’Angelo: Beastly…

Mrs. D’Angelo: Rock Zilla!

[Willy gets nervous.]

Willy: Well, I…

Mr. D’Angelo: Not to mention whatever kind of foul…

Mrs. D’Angelo: Self-loathing…

Mr. D’Angelo: Scrupulous…

Mrs. D’Angelo: Fetid…

Mr. D’Angelo: Maladroit of a woman would possibly mate with that vermin and hatch his offspring—

[Willy gets angry and has the courage to stand up for his parents. Wrong idea.]

Willy: Hey, don’t you talk that way about my parents!

[Angela’s parents gasp. Angela does too. Damien doesn’t, surprisingly.]

Damien: Steeeee-rike!

[Mr. D’Angelo puts on a pink latex glove and grabs Willy’s arm, walking him out of the house.]

Mr. D’Angelo: I’m afraid you’ll have to leave now, William…

Willy: Listen, I don’t like dirty socks or extended guitar solos either. I’m perfectly normal!

[Willy is dropped out of the house, and the door opens with Willy being sprayed again before he leaves. He looks out the window to see Angela, who looks worried as she closes the curtain. A saddened Willy walks away, and the scene fades to Crystal petting Mosh.]

Rock: Hey! The Rule Breaker video is making headlines! *Seen reading the newspaper* Check it out! The whole country’s in an uproar! Great! Bad press is good press.

[Rock balls up the newspaper and throws it away.]

Willy: (first shocked, now angry) No! Bad press is bad press! For once, I wish you wouldn’t make the rest of us suffer because you need to express your crazy ideas!

[Willy storms off.]

Crystal: Ooh. I sense the pre-date did not go well.

Rock: I knew ‘Be yourself’ was crap advice.

[End sequence and fade to black.]

[Camera reopens to Silent Springs Mall. Background characters are seen strolling by. Willy, Quincy, and Alyssa are seen walking out of the TV section.]

Willy: And then I come home, and Mom and Dad are excited about the bad press!

Quincy: Angela’s parents sound crazy.

Alyssa: And I’m sure you’re overreacting about the bad press. I mean—

[Alyssa is cut off by a mob chanting on television. She turns around to see. Cut to the next scene, Willy and Quincy follow as a Rock Zilla poster is seen on several screens. Close-up on a screen. The poster is ripped up by Angela’s parents with their mouths covered.]

Willy: Those are Angela’s parents.

Alyssa: Forget them.

[Willy and friends stroll along. In the foreground is a little kid crying with a melting ice cream cone in her hand and her mother wiping her tears.]

Willy: People don’t understand the new song and video. I mean, it’s a good message, not a bad one.

Quincy: Yeah, but people need a sense of humor to get it.

Alyssa: That could definitely pose a problem.

[Willy shakes his head and facepalms himself. Scene transitions to Serenity and Crystal in the kitchen.]

Serenity: Mom, when someone like Damien ignores me, it means he likes me, right?

Crystal: What does your heart tell you?

Serenity: Umm… that maybe I can capture him and hypnotize him? Or pay him?

Crystal: Serenity… it’s important to accept that you may not be liked by everyone. No one is liked by everyone. Be at peace with that…as long as it doesn’t happen too often.

Serenity: (surprised) Huh?

[Scene transitions to the cafeteria. Willy holds up a repulsive sandwich, holding his breath.]

Alyssa: Is that something from the biology lab?

Quincy: Get it away! I think it’s alive! (he slaps it out of Willy’s hand and right at a kid.)

Ms. Equiss: I nearly went into shock when I saw that ‘Rule Breaker’ video on TV last night.

Principal Malfactor: What did you expect from Rock Zilla? He’s been warping the minds of kids for years with that ear-shattering claptrap he calls music.

Ms. Equiss: Well, I think something needs to be done. We should start a petition to get Rule Breaker off the air once and for all.

Principal Malfactor: I’d sign that in a heartbeat. In fact, you couldn’t put a pen in my hand fast enough.

Willy: (getting angry) Hey! The video is about ignoring rules that hurt people, rules that are stupid and restrictive! It doesn’t mean ALL rules are stupid! It just means you should follow your own heart and use your brain!

[A long pause.]

Willy: And that’s my opinion.

[Suddenly, a cheer from the students, surprising Malfactor and Equiss. Willy goes back to his table.]

Angela: You said it! (winks at him)

[Scene transitions to Willy’s locker, where he is packing his things.]

Alyssa: What are you doing?

Willy: I’m going back to having a tutor like I used to. I don’t fit into a normal school!

Alyssa: But you can’t leave now.

Quincy: Yeah! That was awesome.

Willy: I just said what I thought.

[Quincy looks back and is shocked. Same with Alyssa.]

Quincy: Uh-oh. C’mon, Alyssa. Here comes Angela. Yo, good luck.

[Quincy pulls her away, and Angela enters the scene.]

Angela: I just wanted to say that I’m sorry about my parents and everything. How about that date now?

Willy: Now?

Angela: I have to make up my own mind and not let my parents decide who I’m gonna like, and… I like you.

Willy: Wow! You’re a rebel!

[Scene fades to outside of the school, where Angela and Willy are sitting in front of each other. Camera cuts to Willy’s face as he flashes a huge smile at her. Angela does the same. They pull each other in closer for their first respective kisses. And it was done…until Angela was pulled away… by her father, no less. Suitcases are seen.]

Mr. D’Angelo: (spraying Angela as Mrs. D’Angelo is holding her face.) Young lady, come away from that boy’s lips!

Mrs. D’Angelo: This town is too small for the D’Angelos and the Zillas! (points to Willy)

Angela: I’m sorry, Willy.

Willy: You’re moving away?!

Angela: To Alaska. (looks back at her father.) Apparently, the cold keeps bacteria and rock stars from spreading. (he grabs her by the arm and pulls her away from Willy, also taking her with him.) I’ll write!

[Willy looks on, saddened as Angela waves goodbye.]

Angela: Goodbye, Willy! I left a letter in your locker!

Willy: Goodbye, Angela…

[Scene fades again to Zilla Manor. Cut to the studio. Rock is seen practicing his splits, only to hurt himself.]

Rock: Oh, man, I think I tore a ligament.

Willy: Dad, can we talk?

Rock: Sure. We can talk, but I dunno if I can walk. Do you mind if I stay like this?

Willy: No, I don’t mind at all. Listen, Dad: I’m sorry I was so hard on you. I wouldn’t trade you for any other dad.

[A breaking noise is heard, and Rock is seen lying face down, still stuck in position.]

Rock: Gee, Willy, that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever— (is interrupted by a tearing sound.)

Willy: Even if you do rip your pants every time you do that.

Rock: Perhaps a stretch fabric is the answer.

[Scene fades to Mosh being chased by Willy and Serenity. He climbs up a tree.]

Willy: C’mon, Mosh! Give it up!

[They stop and give up.]

Serenity: You know, you get more girls now that Rule Breaker has gone Platinum.

Willy: I’m not interested in dating anybody else.

Serenity: Me neither. I’m totally over Damien D’Angelo!

[Willy looks outside to see the D’Angelo family car driving past the Zilla Manor. Angela is waving, but Damien is not. Willy and Serenity wave at their respective crushes. Damien looks on angrily and ducks down. Angela blows a kiss to Willy. Serenity was distraught at this.]

Serenity: It’s true. Someone didn’t like me.

Willy: Well, I’m sure that you’ll find someone who likes you just—(is interrupted by a coughing noise)

Serenity: Not now. Mosh is hacking on my phone!

Willy: For your very own sweet personality.

[Serenity’s cellphone falls from the tree, and she arrives just in time to catch it, in the process feeling the slobber on it. Willy sighs.]

Serenity: Eew! I have to go get someone to clean this!

[Scene fades to Willy’s bedroom. Willy is reading the letter Angela left him in his locker. On his bed was a plate of cookies, and Mosh is watching by. Willy takes one and bites on it, chewing. Mosh sticks his tongue out hungrily.]

Angela: (voice heard throughout reading the letter) Dear Willy, I’ll always have a place in my heart for you and our first date.

[Daydream sequence begins. Angela and Willy are holding hands in an idyllic place. They look into each other’s eyes and kiss. End Daydream: In reality, he was kissing Mosh. Willy opens his eyes and quickly pulls away.]

Willy: Eew! Mosh! I thought Angela’s lips felt kinda scaly. Gross!

[Mosh pulls out his tongue, and a cookie comes out. He gulps it down. End episode.]
