Good Luck Charlie

Well, this is awful.

I can't believe we're spending Charlie's birthday in jail.

Well, as long as we're all in here together,

let's go over some ground rules.

This is just a chair.

Well, what if I... Uh-uh.

What if... Hold it.

Guys, it could be worse.

Mom and Dad could know we're here.

Kids? Uh-oh.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

Hi. Hey.

Nice family you got here.

I'm guessing the dog is in the pound?

We don't have a dog, officer "snootee."

It's pronounced "snoo-tay."

Get in there, you two. Here.

What are you guys doing here?

What are you guys doing here?

Okay, before we get to that,

let's go over the ground rules again.

Dad, I want you to pay extra close attention.

So my kids are in jail.

Anybody wanna tell me why? Nope, we're good.

Well, what about you? Why are you guys in jail?

Hey, we asked you first. Start talking.

All right well, as the oldest

I guess I owe you guys an explanation.

It's all Teddy's fault.

What? It is not! Oh really?

We wouldn't be here if you hadn't promised Charlie

a birthday present you couldn't deliver.

Well, Charlie, here you are,

watching your favorite tv show, "the Gurgles."

It's kind of annoying, but I guess it's entertaining to your little brain.

Oh, "The Gurgles!" What did I miss?

I love Gurgles. Shh!

So if we're having a contest for who gives Charlie

the best birthday present ever,

I'll accept my prize now.

Okay well, I gave her the gift of life,

so let's see what you got.

I'm getting her tickets to The Gurgles concert.

Oh! Yeah.

I want her to have a great second birthday,

unlike mine when I didn't get the gift I wanted.

Here we go, still whining about a Hello Doggy.

Howdy Puppy,

the rootinest, tootinest little chihuahua in the West.

I wanted him more than anything in the world

and I...

Oh, too soon.

Hey, how are you coming with the entertainment?

Entertainment. Entertainment?

For Charlie's birthday party.

What did you decide on? Ah.

Still thinking. Noodling.

A lot of things going on in the old hopper.

The hopper's empty, isn't it, Bob?

I... I don't even know where it is anymore.

Honey, Charlie's party is in three days.

Oh, honey, come on, relax. I'll think of something.

Okay, we'll do a clown, a bouncy house... whatever.

Bob, honey, you have to reserve those things.

We have to decide on something good

or it's gonna be Hello Doggy all over again.

Howdy Puppy!

Hey, can I check my email? No, no, no, no, no.

I'm about to buy Gurgles concert tickets online.

They go on sale in eight seconds

and I'm gonna be the first one to get them.

Okay, here we go. Three, two, one.

What? Sold out?!

Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.

Hang on. Let me get in there.

Let's see.

What are you doing? Checking my email.

What? Give me that.

How am I gonna get the tickets now?

Well, the other day I was listening

to that radio station for kids, K.I.D.Z....

Hey, kidz. I just got that.

Why are you listening to the kidz radio station?

Because they told me not to change the channel.

Anyway, they're having a contest.

Whoever makes the best video wins tickets to the Gurgles concert.

We could make a great video. All we need is one good idea.

Oh okay, how about this?

So we make a video of me putting on

200 pairs of underpants.

And then I turn around and on my butt it says.

"I heart the Gurgles."

Yeah, that's not it.

I've... I've got an idea.

I've written some really great kid songs.

We could turn one of those into a video.

One good idea. Just one good idea.

I have got a song about talking toes

that will knock your socks off.

You get it? 'Cause it... okay.

Okay, we're still going through all the bad ideas.

But we need a good one, and Charlie should be the star of it.

Well, I've always wanted to shoot her out of a cannon.

All right, still emptying out all those bad ideas, okay.

No cannons? No underpants?

You're really tying my hands here.

Hey, hey, honey! Honey!

Hey, come on. Come in here. Come on.

I've got something I wanna show you. What is it?

I wanna show you the entertainment I got for Charlie's party.

Voila.

A little cart.

This is why I'm missing "Judge Ira"?

Oh my, I seemed to have put the cart before the...

Horse!

Are you sure it's a horse?

I've seen bigger dogs.

Actually, I've seen bigger cats.

Honey, it's a miniature horse.

Well, he is kind of cute.

Where did you find him? At the stables.

You know, I was gonna get a pony,

and then I met this guy in the parking lot

who said, "Have I got a deal for you."

And well, after I said "No thank you" to the speakers,

he brought out shamrock here.

Aw, he's adorable.

Why is his tail going up?

Oh.

That was great.

Hey, Mom, we finished the video.

You wanna see it? Oh, can't wait.

Yeah, we are so gonna win those tickets.

Gurgles!

Good evening.

I'm here with the world's biggest Gurgles fan,

miss Charlotte Duncan.

Oh no, please call me Charlie.

We're all friends here.

So, Charlie, tell me how you first

became acquainted with the Gurgles.

Well, I was 17... no, 18 months

and I was doing a little bit of channel surfing.

Boring, blah.

Been there, seen that. Then ba-bam!

The most wonderful collection of shapes and colors.

I had ever seen. The Gurgles.

The Gurgles indeed.

And seeing them in concert would make me feel...

Well, why don't I just show you?

Lights, please.

Wow, look at this. Cool.

Wow!

Forgive me. I got a bit carried away.

Now if we're done here, I was promised a juice box.

You guys, that was amazing!

Oh, Mom, you made a brilliant Charlie.

Oh, didn't I?

Good show, good show.

Again.

Yes? Yeah.

Hey, honey, you seen the garage door opener?

Never mind.

What are you doing?

There's a mini-horse in our garage.

Did you really think I wouldn't take advantage of that?

Where did you go?

Just down the street to Austin's house.

He's been bragging about his new dog.

This shut him right up.

All right, come on. Get out of there, would you?

Okay.

Oh, here. There you go.

What is this? Tickets.

Did you know you can't text while riding a mini-horse?

Uh, Gabe. Yep?

You forgetting something? Oh right.

Hey, it's 3:00.

The winning video should be up by now.

I'm on it.

Hey, P.J. I didn't know you were working today.

I'm not. This is my only clean shirt.

Then why are you wearing the hat?

I don't wanna look stupid.

Oh, it's up. They've posted the winning video.

Oh, I can't look.

Okay, tell me we won. Tell me we won.

Why aren't you telling me we won?

Because we lost. What? I don't believe it.

What video could possibly be better than ours?

How much do I love the Gurgles?

Now at this point
