We can't wait for Tomika.

I wanna 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 16 days

to get our music to Mick Bronson--

and it's as though nothing has changed.

If we don't get on his all right playlist,

we're gonna have to wait another year

for rock superstardom.

Three hundred and sixty-five 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 Mick's Picks 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!

What? I love hot dogs. Is that a crime?

The point is--if we don't get on Mick's Picks,

there will be no other path for us to break out,

and we might as well give up.

Slide.

That's not the right slide.

Oh, my slides must've gotten mixed up with yours.

That's me and my buddy Scabs

bungee-jumping off the Barton Creek Bridge.

And that's us standing next to a sign 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.

Man, that was a great trip.

Can we get back to Mick Bronson?

- All right. Yeah. - Ahem!

I'm looking for my rock.

Well, you've come to the right place because we...

♪ Ro-o-o-o-ck! ♪

- Are you done? - Not yet.

♪ Ro-o-o-o-ck! ♪

Okay, now I'm done.

I need my lucky rock, and so do you guys

if you ever wanna get our music to Mick Bronson.

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.

A-hem!!

If anyone finds a rock that looks like...

a rock, and answers to the name "Lucy,"

please, I just want her back,

no questions asked.

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 Mick Bronson problem.

I built a catapult that can launch things

over Mick Bronson's gate using suction.

I call it the Suck 'n 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 Suck 'n Chuck 9000,

and they get thrown right at Mick Bronson's front door.

He finds it, plays it, and makes us stars.

Voilà!

Lawrence, do something!

It's okay, I can shut it off using this remote.

It's not okay!

Mr. Finn, what is--

Oh!

Uh...

and that is why tornados are bad.

Oh...Oh...

One of us is walking weird and I think it's you.

I'm trying to avoid bad luck

until I get my lucky rock back.

If I walk too fast, I might trip.

Tomiks, you'll be--

- What? - I stepped on a crack!

My mother's back! What have I done?

Oh! Get away from me! I'm a walking target.

Will you calm down.

This is all in your mind.

You just have to think positive thoughts.

This is what I was worried about!

Oh!

See? That coulda gone worse.

Mick Bronson is in this city somewhere,

and I won't leave one donut shop, pie shop,

or funnel cakes stand unturned until we find him.

What makes you think Mick is gonna be in those places?

I just like to check those first.

If I had my lucky rock,

we would've found him by now.

And this morning I wouldn't have brushed my teeth

with my dad's butt cream.

I just got an alert.

Mick Bronson's out scouting bands

playing in the Austin Music Festival.

He's so close!

If only there was a way we could get to him.

Ahem!

- 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 Peter's Tacos on Congress.

He's having the carnitas.

How do you know about the carnitas?

He just posted a picture.

Gotta be careful with social media, people.

You don't want strangers lookin' at your carnitas.

Oh, look, tonight Mick's gonna be

checking out bands at Gooch's.

If you can hack into Mick's phone,

what's to stop you from hacking into ours?

Nothing. I do it all the time.

Huh?

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

"Rock 'n roll all night and party every day"?

"Every day."

This is the place.

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

We go in, find Mick Bronson,

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.

Nyaaa!

No!

Come on, we got our rock star faces on.

They're kids.

I didn't just graduate bouncer school yesterday.

Outta the way, big stuff.

My name is Randall and I have a glandular issue.

I'm sure we can work out some kinda deal.

Okay, how about you leave

and I won't damage you.

That doesn't seem like a fair--

We got a deal. Ow. Ow. Ow.

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 gotta 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 could 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. - Guys!

What would it take to get us into that limo?

How much you got?

I've got some chocolate- covered raisins in my pocket.

They're a little linty.

Get in!

There he is!

Who's ready to rock this limo?

Yeah!

Ow!

What's happening?

Mick, buddy, before you freak out,

I know this isn't what you were expecting to see in your limo.

Now, let's see,

did I order a car full of kids or a hot tub?

Pretty sure it was a hot tub.

Well, we're something that you'll like even more.

We're a band that wants a record deal.

- Yeah. - Oh, well, I--

- Please give us a chance. - We won't let you down.

No, it's just that, you know, I--

- Less talk, more rock. - One, two, three!

Stop!

That was...

great!

Really? You liked it?

Yes, I loved it.

Do you think it'll be good enough to be on Mick's Picks?

Sure.

Do you guys know Mick Bronson?

Uh...uh...

Are...aren't...you Mick Bronson?

Ha! Mick Bronson? Me?

No, no, no.

I'm Mick Freeman. I'm a veterinarian.

But your clothes look so rock 'n roll.

Of course.

I'm a veterinarian.

So, we just played our hearts out for...

Mick Freeman, the rock 'n roll doggie doctor.

Well, this is all because I lost my lucky rock.

You know, you guys should write a song about

the important of spaying and neutering your pets.

That's a hit.

So that this isn't a total loss,

do you mind if I take my shirt off

and scream out of your sunroof?

Tomiks, I know you lost your rock

and things haven't been going your way,

but aren't you being a little paranoid?

No.

I'm dealing rationally with the fact that

the universe is out to get me.

You're overreacting.

Really?

I fell in a bucket of mop water,

Mick's Picks comes out tonight and we're not in it,

and my teeth smell like my dad's butt!

Well, I guess if anybody can pull off that look, you can.

You look like an adorable package.

Hey!

Sorry, Tomika. I don't know what came over me.

Oh, that.

Hey! Ow!

Back off!

Can you believe these people?

It is kind of irresistible.

Fine. Go ahead.

Nope, I don't care about bubbles.

I care about you.

No, I care about you.

- Hey, Summer, Tomika. - How's it goin'?

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?

Weirdly, 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, Summer, I love you, but I'm desperate.

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

Can you throw in anything else to sweeten the deal?

Hey, I'm worth at least a rock.

I'll give you Summer and my bike.

I was just kidding.

Yeah, so was I.

I wasn't gonna give you my bike.

- Or me. - Yeah, yeah, right, unless...

Here's your rock.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

- You got your rock back. -This is my time.w.

Okay, according to his calendar,

Mick Bronson's in there having lunch.

Oh, and Zack, you've only got five minutes

to get to your cardio-twerk out class.

- Cardio-twerk out? - What even is that?

You must've gotten my mom's calendar by mistake.

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

Yeah!

Would you send a reminder for me

to reschedule cardio- twerk out for tomorrow?

Yeah.

You guys have a reservation?

Oh, man, you work here, too?

Buddy, I work all over this town.

I'm also a bodyguard and a judo instructor.

Just payin' my bills 'til my skincare line takes off.

You have a skincare line?

RandallsMiracleButter.com.

Now get out before I mess you up.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Now how are we gonna get into Mick's Picks

when by 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, Mick Bronson.

Was that the better plan,

or are you just giving us something

to say no to you first?

So, Adele walks up to me, she says,

"Are you the 'famous' producer Mick Bronson?"

I say, "Indeed, I am."

She says, "Hello."

I say... "That's your next hit."

Boom!

Mr. Bronso-o-on!

Mr. Bronson....

we are School of...

uh...

Nice. Great energy.

Solid song.

Just not sure if it's quite "Micky Picky" 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.

I'm okay.

"Not Mick Picky enough."

What does he even know about Mick's Picks?

He's Mick.

Why didn't he like us?

We're likeable.

Have you seen these dimples?

We're downright adorable.

Well, Mick didn't think so,

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 gonna 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!

New! Fresh! 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 gonna be rock stars.

This is when most of my bands would've 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 Santa Anna 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, some way, things are gonna work out.

- Thanks, Mr. Finn. - Great speech.

That work for you guys?

- Unh-unh. - Yeah, me either.

If nobody loves our music,

there's really no point in playing.

- That's right. - Yeah.

Hey, Kale?

I want you to have my lucky rock.

Wow, really?

It 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.
