Today, I want your full attention on Pythagoras, who discovered A squared

squared equals... I just got a text from Battle of the Bands.

Equals, let's talk about Battle of the Bands. What's it say?

The entrance fee is due in two days.

No problem.

How much is it?

$200. Problem.

And we can't even ask our parents for money.

That's one of the downsides of having a secret band.

Wait, this is a secret band?

Don't worry, guys. I've got it covered. I stashed money in a book for

emergencies like this.

This one?

Nope. This one?

Nope. This one?

Aha!

Found it?

No, I'm just a sucker for Jane Austen.

Guys, if we don't raise that money, we're not going to get to play in Battle

the Bands.

We've all got to figure out how to get money ourselves, and fast.

What are we going to do?

We're a band.

We can play on the street for tips. I've done it. Did you make any money?

I did it for the love of music.

So, no.

I've got a better idea. I'll charge people to watch my extreme skateboarding

tricks. Who's gonna pay to watch you just...

Too bad I spent all my

birthday money on these new dunk masters.

Lauren. You've got to think like a businessman.

Those sweet cakes are limited edition.

I know. They're sold out now. Exactly.

That's why we can sell them for double the price.

All you have to do is agree you're selling them. I'm selling them? If you

insist. You heard him, everybody.

Wait, what's going on?

Why are you singing?

I'm not a musician.

But come on. Sorry.

I already sing a song.

That's fair.

cupcake business.

You text me you want to send a cupcake to you, and I deliver it.

Sorry, Mr. Finn, I don't have the cupcakes yet.

That's cool.

I can wait.

Guys, the money problem's solved. Who wouldn't pay to see this?

That's a lovely ensemble.

Nice try.

I lost my board.

Do you think anyone would pay just to see me be me?

Tell me what you know. Give it up and rock and roll. Cause we ain't gonna

Are you ready to rock?

Whoa! This looks like a real business.

Yeah. My phone's blowing up with cupcake orders.

Ooh, another order.

Ooh, another order.

My friend Jennifer's getting braces.

And she wants a cupcake.

Stop my skateboard.

I don't have a way to make money.

Maybe I could work for you?

Seriously? I mean, we'll have to work side by side, 24 -7, holding hands.

What? You're hired.

Great.

Your first assignment is to deliver this cupcake to Laura in room 112 from her

best friend Regina.

To Laura from Regina. Got it. Oh, my gosh. This is so exciting.

I know. Our first cupcake delivery.

Yeah, that's totally what I was talking about.

I'm not sure about selling my dump masters.

Are you kidding?

What do you need these dump sneakers for? Get the world's most amazing

here. Trust me, you need these.

I've waited so long to get them, and now I'm giving them away?

You're overreacting.

Life -changing sneakers.

If you don't get these, you'll hate yourself forever.

I'll give you ten bucks more than you paid. This is all happening too fast.

Believe me, these shoes are worthless.

Seriously, the best shoes?

Oops, got it mixed up.

Come back when you're ready to make a serious offer.

Just wait.

They'll be begging to pay double for them.

Oh, man, they are awesome.

I'll pay triple, final offer.

Lawrence, you can't afford these.

But they're my shoes.

It's a bad system, but it's the best we got.

girl says I pick it up and I can still deliver it.

That cupcake fell in gum.

Good save.

Luckily, the person who ordered this will never know.

Oh, this is awkward.

Tamika, I'm so glad you decided to give street performing a try. Now the trick

is to find a busy spot.

This seems busy.

I have the perfect song I want to sing. That's important.

Because if you believe in yourself and sing from the heart, nobody could

possibly walk away from you.

I used to want to be... Gotta go.

Where are you going?

To get you a bigger tip jar. I used to use a jelly jar, but stopped because of

the sticky money.

Also the bees.

Sometimes I go to the movies on Saturday night. That works for me. Pick me up at

8.

Summer, the cupcake I ordered for Laura was delivered to me.

And it looks like somebody's sad on it.

Freddie, what happened to Regina's cupcake order? I think Regina here

it pretty clearly.

I will happily refund your money and deliver a proper cupcake to Laura free

charge. But then we're losing money.

Freddie, the customer is always right.

You should fire him.

I'm glad my hard work is appreciated.

Zach, I need those Dunkmasters.

I knew you'd come crawling back.

But the price has gone up. Whatever, just hook me up.

I don't love the bands.

I feel bad about that.

But I feel great about my ability to slam a jammer.

Hand them over. You'll never catch me. I run like the wind in these.

Take

off

those shoes, Lawrence.

Fine, you can have them.

But you should know, my heart will be broken.

performing good to me? We did okay.

I didn't make a single penny.

I've done worse.

How do you do, Sam?

I made $70.

Yeah.

After all the refunds, $20. Oh.

You give refunds?

The cupcake I ordered for myself had a bite taken out of it.

Really? Let me see it.

Yeah, I'd show you, but I ate it anyway.

No evidence, no refunds.

Freddie, what were you thinking?

You're an excellent boss.

Our contribution?

Wow, this is a lot of money. You can thank my man, Lawrence.

Am I a hero?

That's for others to say.

But the answer is yes.

Is that my lunchbox?

Like you said, we all have to make sacrifices.

By the way, if your tuna fish didn't already taste like feet, it will now.

Way over the top.

We made the entry fee a day ahead of deadline.

We're going to battle the band.

Yeah!

Woo!

We even have tons of extra money. Oh, do you think we could buy some new guitar

strings? Well, if it's for the band, I guess you can take a few bucks out of

band bank.

Uh, if I take a dollar to buy another cupcake, that dollar goes right back in

the bank.

Fine. Here is your cupcake.

Tamika, I took a few bucks from the band bank last night, and look what I

bought. Matching best for me and Freddy.

Why do you still have the cupcake business? We don't need the money

Yeah, but if I close the business, I can't take Freddy to the company picnic.

You said we're only supposed to take money out of the band bank for band

-related purposes.

Like those new skateboard pads?

else this could be good for?

Skateboarding.

Well, the band bank will be fine as long as nobody else buys anything stupid.

What's that, Mr. Finn?

I got this for the band.

Can I try it? Go away, it's mine.

You didn't use the band money, did you?

Summer said we had extra, so I figured if I'm the only one who dips in, it

couldn't hurt.

You're not the only one.

Summer bought ridiculous vests.

What's that?

I happened to come into some money recently, so I ordered a turducken,

thought was a pet, until it got here.

A turducken is a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken.

You eat it.

Well, I know that now, but I already bought the cage.

I named him Daryl.

He's quiet, but loyal.

You used the band money, didn't you? I'll never tell.

And neither will Daryl.

Can you guys keep it down?

I'm trying to relax.

You bought a massage chair?

Chair.

are we going to do about Battle of the Bands? The fee's due by five o 'clock

today, and we only have one dollar left.

I need a refund. My cupcake has hair in it. One little hair? We don't give

refunds for... Here's your dollar back.

Great. Now we're completely broke.

So, is the hair cupcake up for grabs?

all these irresponsible purchases.

Yeah, he's really stressing me out.

Summer said we could get stuff for the band.

You said you needed guitar strings.

You bought massage chairs.

Okay, I'm going to be straight with you.

I'm not to be trusted.

We didn't think anybody else was going to dip it to the bank.

Guys, we have to come up with 200 bucks by 5 o 'clock or we have to think about

a battle in the band.

I really think we should get on the streets and sing.

I tried that, but the golden statue guy took all the business.

Tamika, don't give up. Trust the music.

You just need a way to get the crowd's attention.

There's got to be a way we can use the stuff we bought to make some money.

There is.

There's only one thing kids love more than ice cream.

It's turducken.

Or what about massage chair races after school? We can sell tickets.

And I can make money with Texas Cupcake, but...

Only if I resolve our delivery issues.

Yeah, we've got to figure out the flaw in the system.

Listen, Freddie, I didn't want it to come to this, but I have to make some

decisions.

You're finally getting the promotion you deserve.

Yeah.

You know, I just realized everything always works out for me.

Thanks for coming, Mr. Finn, but I don't know if it's going to work.

Tamika, I'm telling you, music is the answer.

And we're not afraid of some two -bit talent like that.

How does he not move?

Mr. Finn.

Sorry. He's just so good.

But we're good, too.

And we don't need to resort to cheap gimmicks to make our money.

pants are shorting out.

Now I look like an idiot.

I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

To get my pogo stick.

I used to want to be living like a zone.

Thank you.

But now it's about my time. Thinking about a way to get you off my mind.

Hey! You stole my tip jar.

How could I steal your tip jar?

I'll take that.

Give me that bat.

Hey, you're never going to catch me.

Oh, no?

Uh -oh.

Mika, we got this.

Mika? Oh, no, open that hole!

I can't believe people are paying

$5 to watch us race.

How fast do you think these things go?

I don't know, but I'm ready. I'll put it next to Jill.

Ticket prices are good, but we're going to have to jack up the cupcake prices.

They're done.

Oh, you cut your chidakis?

Yep. I seasoned it with rosemary, basted it in olive oil, and gave it a sad

handshake goodbye.

hair isn't even moving.

How does he do it? How does he do it?

I can't steer this thing. I'm going to crash.

Me too.

There's only one way out. Start the tingle. I can't. I'm so relaxed my arms

asleep.

the station closet? No.

No, to my office.

Because I need to keep an eye on it.

Well, at least we still made some pretty good money.

And everybody gets their money back!

If anybody asked, I fell off my motorcycle saving a puppy from a bear.

What happened to you?

He pogo -sticked into an open manhole.

saving a puppy from a bear.

Please tell me you guys made more money than us.

How much did you make?

Zero dollars.

We made less.

A sewer rat ran off with my wallet.

I can't believe you won't get to play in Battle of the Bands.

You worked so hard for nothing.

I don't get it.

How did music fail us?

I didn't even get to play my song.

I used to wanna be, living like there's only me But now I spend my time,

thinking about a way to get you off my mind I used to be so tough, never really

got even close And then you caught my eye, giving me the feeling of a

strike You'll stop me now, I'm falling, can't even talk, still stuttering Just

down to mind, keep shaking it

Dude,

that's got to be close.

200 bucks.

Mr. Finn, you were right.

Music was the answer.

We were doing it wrong all along.

We were all trying to do our own thing to make money when all we had to do is

what we do best.

Play music together.

That's right.

That is the lesson here.

And that I was right.

Guys, bad news.

We're still $15 short.

What?

A bunch of girls tip me when I deliver their cupcakes.

We did it!

Wait, you made that much in tips?

How'd you do that? I don't know.

How you doing, ma 'am?

Oh, right.

We've got to get the money down to the club. It's four blocks from here.

Don't worry.

I'm on it.

Yeah, that's a bad idea. We should just run.
