Cupcake & Dino - General Services

This episode of Morphing Teens Who Go Robo Crazy is the best!

Yeah! It's like you know the teens are gonna morph,

but it's always a nice surprise when they do.

-Can you imagine life as an actor? -Oh, what a dream!

-Oh! -

New gig for ya, fellas.

How would you like to be background actors in a movie?

What?! We wished simultaneously and it came true?!

Oh, my goodness! Let's try again! Wish for new coats!

-One, two, three, wish for new coats! -

Ugh, well, still a great start to the day by any standard.

Yeah, I think I just gotta buy a new coat.

Wow! Look at that camera!

It's peering into my soul! Oh, and there's a guy behind it!

-That's the... that's the cameraman. -Ooh. Ca-me-ra-ma-an.

Look! The special-effects guy!

-And that must be... the snack table! -Ah!

Oh, this is so Hollywood. Yogurt, kale, kale-flavoured yogurt.

So healthy and bland. Amazing.

Okay! Okay! People, people,

I need background over here yesterday, lighting over there last week,

and my star actor over here several years go!

Time is money, people! I'm celebrated director Holland Meadows!

-Oh. -Wow. Says her own name.

You there, Hairless Horse and Pastry, get over there and don't do too much.

-You're the background performers. Got it? -With pleasure!

Miss Meadows, what is my character?

Hmm, character, yes, good, good. Be a businessman. Yes.

Money, ties, power nodding, briefcase. Can you handle that?

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

Can you believe this, Dino? We're gonna be in a movie!

Sorry, Guv'nor. My name is Lloyd Brixby and I work in the boat yard.

Oh! Right, right. Well, as a big-time businessman,

I own many boats and yards as well.

Cameras rolling, and... action!

Banks! Boardrooms! Gotta go! Monster! Ciao! Ah!!!

Woe is me! A monster!

Oh, I fear it! And yet I also pity it.

For it may never know true love! Ah!!!

- And... cut! -That was the coolest!

-That was the best. -That was so cool. You were great.

I blacked out. I had no idea what was coming outta my mouth.

I whited out! I was hyper-aware of everything that was going on around me.

-I was, like, ta! -Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay.

I was just talking to myself in my head and we both agree that you two are good.

Not as good as me, but pretty okay.

Oh, wow.

That is the nicest thing I've heard today.

-That means so much. -Especially you, Dino.

I gotta call the pork factory, 'cause you got chops and they're delicious!

Be back here tomorrow. I'll make a star out of you yet.

A star?!

Ha!!

- -

- -

And that's a cut! Take five, everyone!

Except for me, who's taking a director's 10!

I'm Holland Meadows.

What a day, Dino! At this rate,

we'll maybe be seen in the far, far background of an actual movie.

Oh. I-I could do this forever, Cup. I love digging into character with you!

It's like playing pretend! But for real. You know what I mean?

Oddly enough, I know exactly what you mean.

Oh, Dino, look, look!

I think we're witnessing our first big-time Hollywood on-set argument!

Ugh. Look, it's dreadfully sweaty in this outfit,

and we've done 75 takes!

I demand a break and a rewrite so I'm in something more breathable.

Oh, oh, you demand it?!

Yes, I do demand it.

I want breathable fabrics now! And more kale in my yogurt!

Are you looking to get your nose flicked? Because no one acts difficult on my set,

other than me. No one! I don't care who you are!

I am Hollywood superstar Hot Doug!

You will do as I say, as I am the lead in all of your films!

Not anymore, you're not! You're fired!!

-Take a hike, Doug! -

I've seen better directors at community theatre!

Which is where I'll be working from now on, now that I... Oh!

Oh, no, Doug! What have you done?!

No...!!!

My life!!

Oh, so much drama. Spicy.

-Hey, you there! - : Me?

-Yeah, you! -Yeah... Which...?

We both said... Which...?

Ugh! Dinosaur!

-Ah. -Dinosaur. You. You are my new lead.

-What?! -Oh, you got something special, kid.

And your vacant eyes make me sure that you won't cause a scene on my set.

Am I right in guessing you're a sweetie-pie?

-Oh, guilty as charged. -Good.

'Cause only one person gets to freak out on my set. Me!

- : You! -It's me!

-Ha-ha! We guessed! -You do!

You better get used to all the kale and yogurt you can eat.

Dino, you're gonna be a star!

Wow, Dino, I am so...

Oh. Sorry, I missed the last part.

What are we doing?

Oh! Oh, Roger. When will you come home?

Now that I have the amulet of Trogue,

I, Emperor Bosler,

shall rule the universe!!!

When I heard you were here at this hospital,

I knew I had to come and see you and tell you that... I love you, Benedict.

I always have and I always will.

Now I need you to wake up so that we can be together, Benedict.

Wake up, Benedict!! Wake up!!!

Benedict...!!!

And... cut! Oh! That's 20 films shot in one week!

Hot Doug could only do 19! Pure gold, Dino.

-You having fun out there? -Uh, it's kind of intense.

I mostly like just doing the easy-breezy background stuff with Cup before.

Oh, I'm sorry. You're not complaining, are you?

-Well, no, I'm just--- -He just loves to act in your films,

Miss Meadows. What an honour.

That's right. Well, whatever you're doing, keep it up.

Our movies are a hit! People are loving you, Dino.

-Heh. And what about me, Ms. Meadows? -Uh, great... great work, Cupcake.

We probably won't use any of your angles, but it's nice to have options. Okay, bye.

-Well, thank you. -

Dino, what's wrong, buddy? You know she's testy. Why'd ya test her?

I know, Cup. I'm just not sure I'm into this.

It was fun before, when we were extras together.

The only thing flowing more than the laughs was the delicious kale-y yogurt.

But now that I'm on my own, it's more work and more pressure.

-And it just isn't as fun. -Ah, Dino, you're such a good actor.

And Ms. Meadows is making you into... a star!

That's a coat hanger.

I was pointing beyond the coat hanger, Dino. Beyond. Okay?

Just have fun. Embrace it.

Okay, Cup. I'll try.

-And... action! -

Money in the bank, baby.

Big City has a new hero in town: A chef who makes breakfast - for dogs!

But first, Big City has a new movie star in town.

Dinosaur Carol Goody is the hot new name in Hollywood,

with a number of movies under his belt, including Dr. D.R. Daddykins: MD.

and Time Fool II.

It's safe to say that this scaly treasure is taking the acting world by storm.

What's your secret, Dino? How did you become a great actor?

Well, I dunno. You hone your skills being silly in the background,

-having a blast with your brother-- -Cupcake and Dino: General Services!

-We do acting lessons. Call us! -But then you work nonstop

till your feet hurt and it's all serious and stuff

and you realize you just kinda wanna quit.

-Huh. Yeah, I'm gonna quit! -But didn't you sign a contract

with director Holland Meadows for 40 films? She'll flick your nose!

-Ah... I guess I did, yeah. -Well, there you have it, folks.

This is Barbara Shoulderpads for Big City News.

General Services! Acting! Call us!

- -

-Entre. -Dino, did you see the news piece?

What a story! You are a smash hit.

I guess so, Cup, but I don't even like being a star!

I mean, do I have cucumbers on my eyes right now? Be honest.

-Yes. -Oh, I can't do it anymore!

It isn't fun if I'm not doing it with you, Cup!

Yeah, but Holland Meadows is never gonna let you out of that contract.

Five minutes till your big scene, Dino. Director Holland Meadows says,

"I'm director Holland Meadows and nobody disrespects me.

Be late and I'll flick your nose."

Ah. Maybe there's one way to get off this movie.

Are you gonna tell me the plan now, or do I have to wait? Mm...

Okay. I-I-I'll wait.

Alright, everyone ready? This is our biggest shot yet.

Where's my star?

Ugh! No one is late on my set--

Oh, hello, Holland!

Dun-da-da!!

Sorry we're late, hollandaise sauce.

We were busy doing whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted.

"Whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted"?!

"Hollandaise sauce"?!

It's Ms. Meadows and you show up on time,

or I'll climb up your body and I'll---

Flick his nose? I don't think so.

The only person who flicks my nose anymore is Cup!

-Ta! -How dare you?! That is my move!

Not anymore. Cup took it. Me, I'm taking 15 breaks a day,

and I'm not shooting past 11 in the morning,

except on Saturdays, when I won't... be shooting at all!!!

Saturday is ice-cream day.

No! No, no, no, no, no!

If you think you can come out here and tell me, Holland Meadows,

how to run my set--

- Yes? -Then pack your stuff!

- Go on... -You... you... you're fired!!

- -

B-b-but Holland, what about our contract?

Oh, you mean this?

-How do you like that? -

- -We did it! We did it!

Yeah!!!

Huh. I guess they did like it.

Oh... Acting like a jerk in front of Holland was my toughest role yet.

Thanks for helping me get fired, Cup.

Well, you nailed the scene as usual, Dino.

You sure you're not gonna miss being an actor?
