We can't wait for Tanika. I want to go over where we are with Operation Mick

Bronson. Mr. Finn, please start the slideshow.

This is a photo from our last meeting two weeks ago when I said we only have

days to get our music to Mick Bronson. And it's as though nothing has changed.

If we don't get on his online playlist, we're going to have to wait another year

for Rock Super Thornham.

365 days?

I was already supposed to be broken up with Selena Gomez by then.

To get to the next level, we need to be on Mixed Pick now.

People who are on it get famous.

This is their future.

Next slide.

Whoa.

People who aren't good enough for the list are never heard from again.

This is their future.

Whoa.

I love hot dogs. Is that a crime?

The point is, if we don't get all mixed up, there will be no other path for us

to break out.

You know, we might as well give up.

Slide.

That's not the right slide.

My slides must have gotten mixed up in here.

It's me and my buddy Scabs bungee jumping off a Barton Creek bridge.

That's us standing next to a sun that says no bungee jumping off Barton Creek

Bridge.

Are there any photos of you not puking? Well, let me look.

Puke, puke, puke, puke, puke, puke, puke. It was a great trip.

Can we get back to McBronson?

I'm looking for my rock.

We've come to the right place because we...

Are you done?

Not yet.

Okay, now I'm done.

I need my lucky rock. And so do you guys if you ever want to get our music to

McBronson. Aren't you being a little superstitious about your rock?

No, you don't get it. Ever since I found Lucy, my life's been amazing.

I got a new skateboard, my mom increased my TV time, and my brother got a green

bean stuck up his nose.

You can't argue with science.

No question to ask.

I'm pretty sure I'll have questions.

Guys, what part of ahem don't you get?

I have a delightfully Lawrence solution to our McBronson problem.

I built a catapult that can launch things over McBronson's gate using

I call it the Suckin' Chuck 9000.

It's not patented yet, so I'd appreciate no one stealing the name.

I think you're good.

How does it work?

I just feed these flash drives of our music into the Suckin' Chuck 9000, and

they get thrown right at McBronson's front door. He finds it, plays it, and

makes us stars.

Voila!

is why tornadoes are bad.

I walk too fast on my trip.

is in this city somewhere.

And I won't leave one donut shop, pie shop, or funnel cake stand unturned

we find him.

What makes you think Mick is going to be in those places?

I'd just like to check those hers.

If I had my lucky rock, we would have found him by now.

And this morning I wouldn't have brushed my teeth with my dad's butt cream.

I just found an alert.

Mick Bronson's out scouting bands playing in the Awesome Music Festival.

Get to him.

Okay, tell us, buddy. What you got?

What would you say if I told you that I just hacked into Mick Bronson's phone,

which has access to his calendar and his exact location?

I'd say you're a genius.

And I'd say thank you in seven languages.

But we don't have the time.

Currently, Mick is at Pierre's Tacos on Congress. He's having the carnitas.

I didn't know about the carnitas.

He just posted a picture.

Gotta be careful with social media, people. You don't want strangers looking

your carnitas.

I'm going to be tricking our bands at Gooch's.

If you can hack into Mick's phone, what's the thought from hacking into

Nothing. I do it all the time. Huh?

Here's Mr. Finn's phone, and here's his schedule.

Rock and roll all night and party every day?

Every day.

The plate.

Okay, let's go over the plan one more time.

Go in, find Mick Brogdon, and ask him to listen to our music.

Right. You really had to go over that plan one more time?

People don't let me make plans much, so don't take this away from me.

Now, put your rock star faces on.

faces on.

They're kids.

I didn't just graduate bounce to school yesterday.

Out of the way, big stuff.

My name is Randall, and I have a glandular issue.

I'm sure we can work out some kind of deal.

Okay. How about you leave, and I won't damage you?

That doesn't seem like a fair... We got a deal.

Well, we tried.

Are you gonna let him talk to you like that, Mr. Finn? Yes!

Do you see how big he is? Which is totally glandular.

There's got to be some way we can get in here without Mr. Finn chickening out.

Guys, but I can't think of a plan he won't chicken out on. Guys, maybe we can

use his chickening out as a distraction.

We'll call it Operation Coward. Guys!

Wait, that chauffeur is holding a sign that says Mick.

I think I have a plan.

And Mr. Finn doesn't even have to chicken out. Oh, but he probably will.

What would it take to get us into that limo? How much you got? I got some

chocolate -covered raisins in my pocket.

They're a little empty.

Get in.

There he is.

Who's ready to rock this limo? Yeah!

What's happening?

Nick, buddy, before you freak out, I know this isn't what you were expecting

see in your limo. No, let's see. Did I order a car full of kids or a hot tub?

I'm pretty sure I went with a hot tub.

Well, we're something that you'll like even more. We're a band that wants a

record deal.

Oh, well, I... Please give us a chance. We won't let you down. No, it's just

that, you know... Let's talk. More rock.

One, two, three.

We're gonna live our lives like we're on vacation.

Rock and roll is a re...

That was great.

Really? You liked it? Yes, I loved it.

Do you think it'll be good enough to be on McPick?

Sure.

Do you guys know Nick Bronson?

Aren't you Nick Bronson?

No, I'm Mick Friedman. I'm a veterinarian.

But your clothes look so rock and roll.

Of course.

I'm a veterinarian.

So, we just played our hearts out for... Mick Friedman, the rock and roll doggy

doctor.

This is all because I lost my lucky rock.

You know, you guys should write a song about the importance of spaying and

neutering your pets.

That's a hit.

So that this isn't a total loss.

You mind if I take my shirt off and scream out of your sunroof?

I know you lost your rock and things haven't been going your way, but are you

being a little paranoid?

No! I'm dealing rationally with the fact that...

over me.

Oh, that.

Can you believe

these people?

It is kind of irresistible.

Fine, go ahead.

Nope, I don't care about bubbles. I care about you.

Nope, I care about you.

Hey, Bummer, it's Mika. How's it going?

I'm in a bubble suit.

You can probably figure out the rest.

Oh, sorry.

But things have been going great for me ever since I found this rock.

You found a rock?

What's her name?

Honestly, it hasn't come up.

What's your name, my mineral friend?

Lucy. I'll trade you summer for the rock. What? I'm sorry, Sam. I love you,

I'm desperate.

Just to be clear, I'm not on the table.

Can I throw in anything else to sweeten the deal?

I wasn't going to give you my bike. Or me.

Oh,

and Zach, you've only got five minutes to get your cardio twerk out class.

Cardio twerk out?

What even is that?

It must have gone in my mom's calendar by mistake.

Let's go in there and melt Mick's face off. Yeah!

Could you set a reminder for me to reschedule cardio twerk out for

You guys have a reservation.

You work here, too?

Buddy, I work all over this town.

I'm also a bodyguard and a judo instructor.

Just paying my bills until my skin care line takes off.

You have a skin care line?

Randall's miracle butter dot com.

Now get out before I mess you up. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Now how are we going to get into mixed picks?

Then that gate's the only way in.

No, it's not.

I have a better plan.

I got bungee cords in my van. We go up to the roof, drop down into the

courtyard. Hello, McBronson.

Was that the better plan, or are you just giving us something to say no to

first?

So Adele walks up to me. She said, are you the famous producer, McBronson? I

said, indeed, I am.

She said, hello.

I said, that's your next hit.

Mr. Bronson!

Mr. Bronson!

We are school of... Rock.

One day, we're gonna stop games. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Let him play.

Are you sure, sir? Yeah, anyone that goes into this kind of trouble deserves

be heard.

Energy. Solid song.

Just not sure if it's quite nitpicky enough for me.

What? But I didn't even puke.

I appreciate that. I really do, but it's a no.

Uh -oh.

Here it comes.

And that's all that counts.

So this is what rejection feels like.

Not a fan. I'm out.

If we can't do it with my lucky rock, it's never going to happen.

Maybe we should just break up.

Come on, guys.

It's a brand new day. Let's go inside and get a fresh start.

Okay, let's try that again.

New day. Fresh start.

Fresh and new.

New start, fresh day.

Okay, let's do it the hard way.

Let's talk about our feelings.

I know everybody's disappointed, but we just have to bounce back.

Don't say bounce.

We blew our big chance.

It's over, Mr. Finn.

We're never going to be rock stars.

This is where most of my band would have broken up.

That's what happened with the Dewey Finn experience, Dewey and the Finns, the

Beatles. You were in the Beatles?

Different Beatles.

My point is, School of Rock is special.

We can't give up just because one little thing goes wrong.

Did Colonel Travis and Davy Crockett give up when they were surrounded by

Ana at the Alamo?

No. Darn right!

They all died.

Yes!

Okay, bad example.

But trust me, what we have is special.

And it doesn't come around every day.

Somehow, someway, things are going to work out.

Thanks, Mr. Finn. Great speech.

Did that work for you guys?

Yeah, me neither.

If nobody loves our music, there's really no point in playing.

Yeah.

my lucky rock.

Oh, really?

Turns out it wasn't so lucky for me after all.

Maybe it was meant for you.

Thank you.

Lucy and I are going to do a lot of good work together.

You hear that, climate change?

We're going to fix you!

It's hard giving up something that means so much to you.

Your rock?

No.

School of rock.

We don't know who it is, but he's killer.

Quiet, dear.

I'm going to put a stop to this right now. This song is way too catchy.
