>> true jackson, vp
Was filmed in front
Of a live studio audience.
>> you guys will never
In a million years
Guess where I just was.
>> snackleberry junction.
>> how'd you know?
>> you're carrying
A takeout bindle.
>> well, you'll never
In a million years guess
What I just found out.
>> 100% of all waitresses
Think you're creepy?
>> no, I already knew that.
Snackleberry is closing.
>> really?
>> how come?
>> some stupid candle shop
Is moving in.
>> a candle shop?
>> yeah, I know, a candle shop
Might be useful
If it were the year 1842,
But the last time
I checked my digital watch,
It's not 1842.
>> are you sure?
Every now and then
Your information
Is a little faulty.
>> like your theory
That if you pull
A horse's tail three times,
You get eternal life.
>> I'm still here, aren't I?
Okay, if you don't
Believe me...
[rotary phone ring]
>> snackleberry junction,
This is bingo.
>> hey, it's ryan,
Will you tell my friends
That snackleberry's closing?
>> yeah, I'm afraid it's true.
They're gutting the place
Next week.
On a happier note,
Today's special is
Buffalo fried cheese peppers.
>> I just had 'em.
It feels like someone set off
A hand grenade in my stomach.
>> that's the buffalo sauce.
It's delicious,
But don't get any on your skin.
>> good to know.
I'll catch you later, bingo.
Told you.
>> I can't believe it.
We've been going to snackleberry
Since we were kids.
>> I lost my first tooth there.
And my third, fourth
And eighth.
Lot of bones in their burgers.
>> well, I'm not gonna stand by
And let this happen.
We have to save snackleberry.
Who's with me?
>> yes, the people have spoken.
Let's go! Aah!
>> hey, true, there's
An emergency staff meeting
In the conference room
In five minutes.
>> thanks, jimmy.
But why are you telling me?
Is oscar out sick?
>> he's on a singles cruise.
Uncle max is making me
Fill in for him for the week.
>> you think you can handle it?
>> well, I know
How to do this...
"break room."
And I can do this...
"mad style."
Yeah, I think I got it.
>> thank you for coming
On such short notice, people.
We have a bit of a situation.
It seems that--kopelman,
What is that?!
Not the earring, the dog.
This is a place of business,
Not a kennel.
Out!
The dog can stay.
As I was saying,
We have a bit of a situation.
I received
An unexpected phone call
This morning.
From who you may wonder?
Lights!
From libby gibbles,
Chairwoman of
The fashion council.
Lights!
Every year,
Miss gibbles appoints
A top designer to host
The fashion council dinner
And this year,
She has picked us.
True, amanda,
I'd like the two of you
To plan it.
>> sure.
>> with pleasure.
>> when is it?
>> tonight.
>> tonight?
>> miss gibbles
Is a notorious flake
And she simply forgot
To tell us.
I know it's last minute,
But the event must be
As tasteful and refined
As last year.
>> where was that?
>> lights!
>> buckingham palace.
Lights!
>> mr. Madigan,
Don't you think you're being
A little dramatic?
We all know
What buckingham palace
Looks like.
And when it was built, 1703.
I did a report on it.
>> true, everyone knows
When I get nervous,
I create slide shows.
>> you're nervous?
>> lights!
>> don't worry, max,
I'm sure we'll come up
With some great ideas.
>> I've already got one,
An awesome mix.
>> what's that?
>> you know, a cd
Of kickin' music.
>> music, yes,
We'll need great music.
>> what about lars balthazar?
>> is that a person?
>> he's only the most famous
Cellist in the country.
Some say hearing him play
A single note can change
Your life forever.
>> that's how I was
With alicia keys.
>> max, before you get
Your hopes up, lars balthazar
Hasn't performed in two years.
I don't even think
He's left his apartment.
>> I can get started
On that awesome mix.
I'm gonna put some
Alicia keys on it.
>> no, I want lars balthazar.
Now, if we're finished here,
I haven't had my breakfast yet.
>> what are you having?
>> lights!
>> forget I asked.

Oh, wait, tonight is my dad's
Poker night.
My mom always stands behind him
And yells,
"you ain't got nothin', larry,
You better bluff!"
>> yes, well, I was thinking
More along the lines
Of a fancy restaurant,
Like finique.
>> but doesn't mr. Madigan
Go there all the time?
He said it needs to be somewhere
Extra special.
>> like where?
>> isn't there some
New fancy restaurant
You're always talking about?
>> le pompanous?
Impossible.
That place is so exclusive,
Even the owner's never been
Allowed in.
And they only take reservations
On the day of the reservation,
During a five-minute window
Between 4:00 and 4:05
>> then that means
They're still open for tonight.
>> what are you going to do,
Be the first caller?
>> that's how my uncle, troy
Won a kayak.
And if you're wondering
If that was the same year
He got lost at sea, it was.
So what do you think?
>> well, it is the fanciest
Restaurant in the city.
>> and I have been known to get
Lucky every once in a while.
>> you mean like getting
A job as vice president when
You're an unqualified teenager?
>> yeah, like that.
>> I'll get started
On the invite list
And you figure out
How to get lars balthazar
To the party.
>> oscar, put on the fresh pot
Of coffee.
>> I'm not oscar.
>> there's a lot of work
To be done, oscar.
>> I'm not oscar!
[elevator ding]
>> whoa, whoa, hold on a second.
Who are you here to see?
>> oh, I'm not a visitor.
I work here.
>> I don't think so.
>> no, really, I do.
>> you got a badge?
>> no one has badges.
>> smart guy, huh?
Why don't you take a seat
While I verify your employment?
>> argh, I can't find
Anything on lars balthazar.
No address, no phone number,
Nothing.
>> try typing in
"lars balthazar."
>> what do you think
I'm doing?
>> playing a game?
That's what I'm doing.
>> lulu, you're supposed
To be helping me.
>> oh, right, let me just
Marry this prince
And I'll give you a hand.
[royal trumpets]
>> okay, what do you need?
>> I just came up
With the best idea
For saving snackleberry.
I'm gonna make a bunch of
Rubber wristbands
That say "save snackleberry"
On them.
>> and then what?
Throw 'em at the candle people
As they move in?
>> uh-huh.
>> ryan, no offense,
But I have bigger issues
To deal with.
I have to get
Lars balthazar to perform
At mr. Madigan's party
And I can't even find
His phone number.
>> who's lord balthazar?
>> lars balthazar.
He's a really famous cellist.
>> huh, sounds like
A snoozefest.
You know what you need?
Is an awesome party mix.
>> I know, right?!
>> knock knock.
Just checking in to see
How things are going.
>> awesome, I'm going to make
Rubber wristbands.
>> good for you, son.
I was actually talking to true.
>> I can't even find
Lars balthazar's phone number.
>> oh, he doesn't have
A phone.
>> what kind of a person
Doesn't have a phone?
I have two phones.
Sometimes I call myself
When I'm bored.
>> I believe he lives
At the bremington.
You'll just have to go there
In person.
>> we're on our way.
You can count on us.
What's the bremington?
>> hi, jimmy, hi, hibbert.
>> hi, uncle max.
>> see, he knows who I am.
>> sir, do not raise
Your voice.
Unless you want some
Plastic justice.
>> mad style.
>> you call that a knock?
>> did somebody knock?
>> she did.
>> mr. Balthazar,
We were wondering if we could
Talk to you real fast.
>> is it about performing?
>> yes.
>> then, no.
>> that was her again.
>> listen, I'd love to stay
And chat, but I just put some
Tea on.
>> great, we love tea.
>> nice place.
>> where's the rest of it?
>> lulu.
>> what?
This is the smallest apartment
I've ever seen.
There isn't even a bed.
>> actually, it's a murphy bed.
And it's right behind that wall.
>> yeah, all right.
And there's a swimming pool
Behind the lamp.
>> anyway, the truth is,
I have retired from performing.
>> don't worry,
That was just my practice cello.
>> mr. Balthazar,
I'm true jackson.
I work for max madigan,
From mad style.
>> I'm familiar with his suits.
>> oh good,'cause he's having
A party tonight
And you're like
His favorite musician.
He says hearing you play
A single note
Can change your life forever.
>> this is exactly the problem.
Nobody can live up to this
Sort of hype.
It just isn't fun anymore.
Do you have any idea
What it's like to live
Under that kind of pressure?
>> a little.
>> really?
>> I'm only a kid, but I'm also
A vice president.
And every time I come up
With a design,
All these people
Hold their breath
Like it's going to be amazing.
But sometimes it's just a little
Dress with colorful buttons.
>> this job of yours,
Do you ever feel like quitting?
>> of course.
But whenever I do,
I remind myself that I'm only
Doing what I love,
And what other people think
Is their own dang business.
>> I really wish
I could help you, true,
But I just can't do it.
>> okay, thanks for talking
To me.
Come on, lulu.
>> what's this?
>> I'm sure that happens
All the time.
>> I've never even seen
That switch.
>> right.
>> we'll just be going.
[elevator ding]
>> hey, jimmy, hi, hibbert.
>> don't start with me.
>> check it out,
I got the sample for my
"save snackleberry" wristbands.
>> this is in chinese.
>> yes,
But I got a hundred thousand
Of them for five bucks.
And I also got
The guy to throw in this.
>> what is it?
>> no idea, but apparently
If I get it wet,
Something terrible will happen.
>> wow, I'd love to chat,
But I've got work to do.
>> princess game?
>> yep.
>> do you think
Mr. Madigan would mind
If I knocked off early?
If I hustle, I can catch
The 4:15 showing
For vampire spooky.
>> wait, what time is it now?
>> it's almost 4:00, why?
>> lulu, get the restaurant
On the phone.
If I don't get a reservation
At le pompanous,
Mr. Madigan's gonna freak out.
>> I've got the restaurant
On line two.
>> hi, I was wondering
If I could book
Your entire restaurant
For a party?
I know that sounds crazy
And you're super exclusive,
But...You can?
Really?
>> how many people
Are we talking about?
>> hey, put your shirt on!
You're a waiter,
For pete's sake!
>> between 30 and 40 people.
>> that's not a problem.
>> well, that's great.
Hold on, my assistant
Will get all the information.
>> lulu, pick up.
>> I was so worried
That mr. Madigan was gonna be
Upset because I couldn't get
Lars balthazar,
But now, that we've got
Le pompanous, it's gonna be
The best party ever.
>> yeah, nothing
Could possibly go wrong.
>> quit fooling around,
We got a big party coming in.
>> if we put max
With libby gibbles,
Then we have no room
For the mayor.
>> what if we move
That person?
>> that person is me.
>> right.
>> wrong.
>> okay, well, maybe we push
Two tables together.
>> are you mad?
Move tables at le pompanous?
Huh, the owner would throw us
Out in a heartbeat.
>> I thought you said
The owner's never been there.
>> okay, we can try that.
>> I still feel kinda bad
That I wasn't able to get
Lars balthazar to come.
>> all will be forgiven
Once max sees we're at
Le pompanous.
Have the invites gone out?
>> yeah, lulu's on top of it.
>> well, we should probably
Get going.
Do you have an address?
>> bye, jimmy. Bye, hibbert.
[elevator ding]
>> what about that guy?
>> he probably works here.
>> surely, this can't be
Le pompanous.
>> amanda, can you tell me
Where to put these things?
I already stubbed my toe twice
Getting out of the cab.
>> snackleberry junction?!
What are we doing
At snackleberry junction?!
>> well, you tell me.
This is the address
On the invitation.
>> oh, no, we invited
The worls s top designers
To snackleberry junction.
>> this should be delightful.
>> we've gotta do something
Before anyone gets here.
>> hello, ladies,
I can't tell you
How excited I am--
Holy kittens, where are we?!
>> le pompanous?
>> I seriously doubt that.
>> oh, max, there's been
A slight change of plans.
>> go on.
>> that's all I have.
>> hey, you must be
The birthday boy!
>> what's your name?
Where you're from?
Hallelujah, you're a bum!
>> true, what is going on here?
>> somehow, things got mixed up.
>> but don't worry,
We can fix it.
>> how?
>> yeah, again,
That's all I have.
>> bingo, my good man,
I'd like a table for one
By the ball pit.
>> ryan,
What are you doing here?
You weren't invited.
>> invited to what?
I come here every day.
>> it's true, he's our most
Valuable customer.
We could serve him a bowl
Of soup with a squirrel in it
And he wouldn't complain.
>> it's happened twice.
What are you guys doing here?
>> there was a mix-up
And now mr. Madigan's party
Is gonna be held here.
>> that's awesome.
No one ever leaves snackleberry
Without having fun.
>> I believe we can
Seat you now, sir.
>> very good.
We'll catch up later.
>> okay, we don't have time
To get the word out,
So we'll just have to dress
This place up.
>> maybe we can get
Some tablecloths.
And cover the walls
With fancy fabric.
>> and we'll need to mask
That smell.
What is that?
>> I'm pretty sure
It's the food.
>> really?
It smells like burnt ketchup.
>> that's their specialty.
>> okay, with a little work,
We might just be able
To pull this off
Before the other guests arrive.
>> aah!
Libby, so pleased
You made it.
>> what is this place?
Am I in brooklyn?
>> of course not.
>> oh, it smells
Like brooklyn.
>> that's my aftershave.
Allow me to introduce you to our
Newest designer, true jackson.
And amanda cantwell,
One of our oldest.
>> he means most senior
With the company.
>> nice to meet you, ma'am.
>> please, ma'am
Is my mother.
>> no, seriously,
Mother's name is ma'am gibbles.
>> how is ma'am?
>> she's fine, except that
She's constantly fighting
With old man gibbles.
That's our dog.
>> I've got a dog
Named hercules.
>> maxwell, when I allowed you
The opportunity to set up
This dinner, I hardly expected
A night in shantytown.
>> shantytown?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
The chefs here
Have trained with
The finest kitchens of France.
>> fried ketchup?
>> not just now, thank you.
>> that was chef aujourdui,
Of the institute.
Do something!
>> I'm going to call lulu.
[lulu's ringtone]
>> hi, this is lulu, hello?
Hi, this is lulu.
>> lulu, why did you put
Snackleberry junction's address
On the invitations?
>> that's where you made
The reservation, right?
>> no, I asked you to put
Le pompanous on the phone.
>> I don't even know
What that is.
You said to get the restaurant
On the phone.
>> first of all,
Snackleberry isn't legally
Allowed to call itself
A restaurant.
And second, why would I want
Mr. Madigan's party
Held here?
>> I don't know, I'm sorry.
>> no, I should have been
More clear.
Can you just get down here
And help me put fires out?
Literally!
>> hi, jimmy, hi, hibbert.
>> where are you going?
>> home, I give up.
>> wait.
>> the elevators
Are for employees only.
You'll have to take the stairs.
>> we're 32 stories up.
>> then you better hurry.
The bottom door locks
In five minutes.
>> take care.
>> deep-fried, anyone?
>> I'm sorry, deep fried what?
>> I'm gonna be honest with you,
I don't know.
>> well, let me be honest
With you.
Get it away from me.
>> people seem to be having
An okay time.
>> you think?
>> can I get that back?
>> oh, sure, here you go.
>> maxwell, a word.
>> having a nice time, libby?
>> well, I will be.
As soon as I'm done kicking you
Off the fashion council,
I can just see you a year
From now,
Making novelty t-shirts
By the jersey shore.
>> hey, why don't you just
Back off?
It's not mr. Madigan's fault.
>> true.
>> well, it's not.
It's my fault.
So if you want
To kick somebody off
The fashion council,
It should be me.
>> but you're not on
The fashion council.
>> well, I'd like to be.
>> well, that is gonna happen
On the seventh day
Of the seventh month of never.
>> I'll put it on my calendar.
>> I suppose we should make
An announcement that
The dinner is canceled.
>> I'll do it.
>> be careful in there.
Ball pits are like quicksand.
The plastic creates a vortex.
>> thank you, professor,
But I'll be fine.
May I have everyone's attention?
>> I warned her.
>> I think what amanda
Was trying to say is,
This evening is over.
I'm sorry.
[music]
>> lars balthazar?
>> I thought you said
He wasn't coming.
>> that's wh h he told me.
>> I'm afraid I might be
A little rusty.
[music]
>> see, I told you
Nobody leaves snackleberry
Without having fun.
>> enchante. Au revoir.
>> sacre bleu.
>> I'm sorry for my comments
Earlier, maxwell.
This dinner was the most unique
One we have had yet.
>> thank you, but it's true
You should be thanking.
>> yes, well,
I expect we'll be seeing a lot
More of you at future events.
>> that'd be great.
And I'm sorry about
Smarting off to you earlier.
To tell you the truth, I think
I had too much hobo tea.
>> good night, maxwell.
>> good night, libby.
[buzz]
>> ooh!
>> I won this at shoot-a-basket.
>> we sure got lucky.
>> we sure did.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I fear I had a little weewee
When miss gibbles shocked me.
>> mr. Balthazar,
I just wanted to thank you
For coming tonight.
You were amazing.
>> well, I don't know
About that.
I think bingo's jaw harp
Really got the crowd going.
>> you know, I never had
A lesson.
>> if I can ask, sir,
What made you change your mind?
>> well, I thought about it
And I decided I just
Have to do what I love.
And what other people think
About it
That's their own dang business.
>> well, you really saved
The party.
>> and the restaurant,
He's buying the place.
>> really?
>> yes, and I'm going to play
Here every night.
>> well, I think we just
Gonna have to come here
Every night.
>> I'm okay.
