You guys are into rosemary, right?

The lady who had the baby?

No, the herb.

I'm looking for recipes for Thanksgiving next week.

Uh-oh, somebody's getting excited about Thanksgiving.

Mm, maybe.

He's freaking out. Look at him.

Yeah, he's pulling his hair out.

Oh, wait, no. That was like that.

Hmm. Bald joke. Yeah.

What you doing, Tina?

You didn't finish your homework last night?

Oh, this isn't homework.

I'm working on some erotic holiday fiction.

Hmm. Oh, like the one you wrote

where St. Patrick got his groove back?

Oh, y-you read that? Yeah.

I loved that one.

Wait, you read it, too?

I mean, I heard about it.

When I-I was reading it out loud.

I overheard some of it. I heard it, too.

What's this one about, Tina?

Well, this one's for Thanksgiving,

and it's called "The Quirky Turkey."

It's about a turkey who wears glasses.

Also, she has skinny legs

that she may or may not hide with knee-high socks.

And she feels left out because she doesn't look

like all the other turkeys.

Is that... about... you?

No. No. What?

All right, fine, it might have been inspired

by a real-life event where

a certain word was thrown around.

Hi, guys.

Tina, you're so quirky.

She's right, you are. You are.

You are. Oh, my God, you really are.

Oh, my God, she's, like, so quirky.

Wait, is quirky a good thing?

That's such a quirky thing to ask.

So, yeah, I'm taking back the "Q" bomb

and mixing in a fun holiday message.

Well, that doesn't sound very erotic.

Which is totally fine.

No, some stuff happens with a pig. Oh.

Some suggestive situations, implied nudity.

Oh, okay, I got it.

So how's it end?

The not-quirky turkeys realize

that they aren't there for dinner, they are dinner.

And they get their heads chopped off on Thanksgiving.

Aw, that's nice.

So, you excited?

My little turkeys get a long weekend.

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving,

but I am not looking forward to the day before Thanksgiving.

We have to sit through one of Mr. Frond's stupid plays again.

I'm still bored from last year's play.

♪ We're thankful for ♪

♪ These foods we're eating ♪

♪ Here's a list of foods we're eating ♪

♪ A, apples ♪

♪ A, apple pie... ♪

Yeah, Mr. Frond's plays aren't great,

but isn't going to a play better

than going to actual school?

I mean, do you guys like school?

I've never asked you that.

That's the thing!

The day before Thanksgiving is supposed to be a half day.

It's on the school schedule.

And in most Bibles.

At least in the Ving Rhames version.

King James, Gene.

Ving Rhames!

Lunch announcements.

First up, from the Women's Issues club,

we have Peter and Zeke.

What's up, ladies!

Our main issue right now is that

no girls signed up for this club.

And Peter and I wrote a song about it. Hit it!

♪ I don't have a vagina ♪

♪ But I won't stop try'na ♪

Come on, girls! ♪ Help women with their issues ♪

Okay, okay, okay.

Come on, girls, sign up right now!

Okay, okay, shutting it down.

Shutting it down.

Holy moly, that's it!

What's it? That's how we get our half day.

Join the Women's Issues club?

No. What if the day-before- Thanksgiving play is

so offensive that it gets shut down?

We'd all go home early.

Why would it be offensive? It's never offensive.

It's just bad and boring, like avocado toast.

But what if we could convince Mr. Frond

to let us do the play,

and then we make it so horrible and inappropriate

that he shuts it down?

Boom, half day. A real half day!

But where are we gonna find a play

that's inappropriate, offensive

and Thanksgiving-themed?

What's the most erotic temperature

you could cook a turkey at?

375. Thanks.

Oh, my God, Tina,

did you, uh, hear anything we were just talking about?

No. Great.

How's your Thanksgiving play going?

Oh, it's not a play.

It is now.

♪ Peelin' the potatoes, tryin' not to fart... ♪

Thank you, Linda.

♪ I'll just let out a little one ♪

♪ It's my little secret. ♪

Oh, my God.

Oh, my gosh!

I know. I have to live with you.

No, look at this potato.

Yeah? It looks like a face.

Oh, okay.

It looks exactly like my grandfather.

Like, exactly. It does?

Yeah, my mother's father, Burt.

This is his spitting image, look.

I mean, don't all old men kind of look like potatoes?

It's even got the bumpy thing on its face in the same spot.

He used to put a nickel on the top of it,

and then I'd snatch it off.

Hmm, great.

All right, let's make fries.

No! Not with Grandpa.

Right. That'd be crazy.

You know what? I'm gonna keep him for a little while.

It'll be good for the kids to get to know my grandpa.

Potato. Grandpa Potato!

Yeah, Grandpa Potato.

I wasn't trying to name... Forget it.

So you want to put on

the Thanksgiving play this year?

What can we say?

I mean, you inspire us, Mr. Frond.

And I should probably just continue to do that.

This year, everyone will be reading

from an 88-stanza epic poem called "The Pilgrims' Picnic."

Oh, it sounds great, Mr. Frond.

Everyone likes stanzas.

I mean, they kind of do.

Right? Right?

You seem pretty confident.

After all, it's just your reputation... no biggie.

Sounds like you don't need our play,

so see ya later. Uh...

W-Well, just out of curiosity, what is your play?

It's called The Quirky Turkey.

It's based on an original short story by me.

Oh. Is it erotic?

Suggestive situations.

I'm cutting back on the implied nudity.

Okay, not a good start.

Picture this: an underdog story about a turkey.

An under-turkey. Who wears glasses.

It's a metaphor for self-esteem and community.

Ooh, I like that.

Yeah, we knew you would.

What about music? My plays always have music.

Makes the whole thing more musical.

And that's why we brought Gene on

as our musical director.

You did?

Oh. Yes, now I remember.

You absolutely did.

Mm, I'm still not entirely convinced.

That's because you have high standards,

and we love that.

And that's why we need you to be our executive producer.

Oh. What does an executive producer do?

Basically you accept awards and give interviews.

I-I can do that. I-I'd be great at that.

Yeah, you just say things like,

"They said it would never work, but look at us now."

Oh, that's good.

What if I said, "This is a real passion project for me"?

Perfect. Nice.

Super cool.

So, uh, Mr. Frond, what do you say?

Belcher children, you have my permission

to put on The Quirky Turkey.

Yeah!

Let's get to quirk!

Welcome to the open casting call for the first ever

student-produced Thanksgiving play,

The Quirky Turkey!

This is your moment and your stage.

And also your lunchtime,

so remember to eat afterwards...

or during your auditions, like I will be doing.

We're looking for the best of the best.

Or the best at being worst.

Mm-hmm.

I can almost do the splits.

Almost. Ow.

Not quite. Ow. Ow!

Love it! Welcome aboard.

Look at this, look at that.

Look at this, look at this.

Look at that.

Look at this, look at that, look at this, look at this.

Okay, you got the part.

- Thank you! - Yup.

You were really good. Thank you, I know.

The lights are too bright! Can you turn them down?

Your future's even brighter, 'cause you're in the show!

I just came in here to see what everybody was doing.

Now I'm on stage. What's going on?

You got the part! That's what's going on.

Do what?

♪ Ave ♪

♪ Maria. ♪

Thank you. We'll let you know. Next!

Wait, Louise, what are you doing?

She's really good. Maybe she could play the lead.

Nah, nah, nah. She's not really what we're looking for.

Plus, we already know who's playing the Quirky Turkey.

It's you. What? Really?

You're perfect, Tina. And you know every word by heart.

And you've captured its dead-eyed stare.

But I'm the writer, too.

And I haven't even finished the second act.

Oh, we won't get that far.

What? Nothing, nothing.

You're doing great.

Gene, how's the music coming?

Psh. Man. So good.

Oh, yeah.

Looks just like him.

Same cheekbones.

Same steely look.

You see, Bob? Teddy sees it, too.

It's spooky.

But also comforting.

I miss Grandpa.

Aw, he never got to meet the kids.

'Cause he died.

Maybe I should make him a little blanket.

Oh, and a little cup of Jell-O. He loved Jell-O.

Hey, you could make him a little plate of mashed potatoes, too.

What are you talking about?

Uh, it-it was a joke.

Like, you know, old people and...

mashed potatoes, 'cause they eat mashed potatoes,

and he's a potato. It's poor taste, Bob.

Yeah, too soon.

I'm gonna go into the kitchen.

Teddy, keep an eye on Grandpa Potato today.

Don't let Bob fry him up.

I'm not gonna fry up your grandfather.

You threw away that piece of toast

that looked like it said "Wow."

That was a dark day.

All right, folks!

Just a few days till curtains up.

Let's give them a show to remember.

Hey, T. How's my writer-slash-it-girl doing?

I don't know. I'm not feeling good

about the second act, but... All right, fantastic.

I can't wait. Um, okay.

One more time from the top, Zeke.

Five, six, seven, eight!

I wish... I wish I could be as graceful as you, J-Ju.

But I can't. Too stiff!

Oh, God, I'm going down! Going down!

How are those harmonies coming, ladies?

Try this on for size.

♪ Aah. ♪

♪ Aah. ♪

No, no.

What? No.

Jocelyn, that's not a harmony. What?

It's not? No!

Do you even know what a harmony is?

A harmony is when I sing louder than you.

No! Oh.

I'm dizzy.

Keep up the good work.

So, how's this?

Good?

I mean, bad?

Bad-good? Good-bad?

I don't know. I mean, it's bad.

I mean, all of it's bad, but is it

"shut down" bad? Is it "get a half day" bad?

I guess something just happens when you get

in front of the hot lights.

It makes you want to leave your blood, sweat, tears

and pee out on the stage.

Oh, Gene. My Genie Gene!

You and your words and your stupid, stupid face.

I think I know how to guarantee that we get this play shut down!

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

So, Mr. Frond, you're the executive producer

of the Thanksgiving play, which premieres tomorrow.

Which I'm in. As an actor.

And I am, too, also.

Yes. I am the executive producer.

This was a real passion project for...

Have you ever met the people from Bones?

Um, no... Do you have a limousine?

No. I drive a hatchback.

Gross. Do...

Do you guys want to talk about the play?

What play? Did you have plastic surgery?

Be real. No.

Do you want plastic surgery?

No. What? What?

If I were you, here's where I'd start.

Face. Back. What?

Front. Breath.

Okay, we're all set for tomorrow.

Our sweet, sweet half day is so close, I can taste it.

It tastes like victory, and nachos.

So, what's the plan again?

Ugh, Gene! It all happens after the first song

when the turkeys get killed.

Backstage, an air compressor will be attached to hoses,

which will be attached to bottles full of giblets

and gizzards, which will be inside the turkey heads.

When I hit this button, the turkey heads are gonna blow off

and giblets and gizzards are gonna go everywhere.

Like Carrie meets Gallagher meets Top Chef

meets Double Dare!

Exactly. All right, hands in the middle.

"Get Frond to shut down Tina's horrible play

and get a half day" on three!

One, two, three...

Get... Get Frond to shut down...

- Louise! Gene! Oh! - Tina!

H-How long have you been standing there?

Long enough!

Why is my hand like this?

We don't even do this in our family.

Do we play sports now, too?

If the sport is lying and ruining my play,

yeah, I guess you do! So, I am an athlete!

So, this was your plan all along?

You're just using me and my play?

Tina, I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

Gene, when you said, "Tina, your play's got the goods,"

and you said "goods" like it had a "Z" at the end,

that was just a bunch of crap?

I never should have put that "Z" on the end.

That's my biggest regret in all of this "mezz."

I came in here to tell you guys that I finally,

maybe, sort of finished the big heartfelt musical number

in act two, and now you're saying that none of that

even matters? Hey.

Save the drama for the stage, Tina C. Williams!

Yeah, don't get your pubes in a tube.

I will get my pubes in a tube.

We should all get our pubes in a tube.

'Cause Louise and Gene are gonna ruin the whole play

by dumping gizzards and giblets all over the stage

so Mr. Frond will shut down the play!

Okay, okay, just calm down.

There is a completely reasonable explanation for all of this.

Yeah. You don't care about the play.

All you care about is if the play gets shut down

and we get a half day!

Oh.

A half day? I'd be into that.

I'm as angry as you are! Wait, what?

Yeah, a half day doesn't sound half bad.

Hell yeah! I wouldn't mind getting home early, too.

And I want to go to the mall that day to get leggings.

Yeah, for her legs. Yes.

Well, Tina, looks like everyone wants to go

to Shutdown Town except for you.

But we've all worked so hard.

Have we? And I've worked hard

getting a whole bunch of giblets and gizzards.

People don't want to sell that stuff to a nine-year-old.

Look, it'll all be worth it tomorrow

when you're sitting on the couch, back in your PJs

at 11:00 a.m., staring down a four-day weekend.

So, what do you say?

You ready to tank this turkey?

Um, I guess.

Yeah. If everyone else wants to do it.

All right, so it's settled.

The show must go off!

See everyone tomorrow.

I'm a grown woman. Hello!

He can't even breathe in there.

Okay, fine. You got me.

I-I just wanted him to see the kids' show.

Lin, don't bring the potato.

There they are! Look at my little stars.

Wait, make that waffles. Scratch that.

Make it pancake mix in a waffle maker.

That's what waffles are, Gene.

They're... that's pancakes in a...

I want pancakes in the shape of waffles.

Okay, fine. Big day.

Oh, it's gonna be a real showstopper, Mom.

Are you excited, Tina?

Um, yeah, totally.

For sure, totally. Of course she is!

Look at her, she can barely contain herself.

We're really proud of you kids.

Pancakes and/or waffles speak louder than words, Father!

Hello, friends and families.

Before we begin, I'd like to introduce a man

who made all of this possible.

Give it up for our executive producer, Mr. Frond!

Every once in a while...

Great speech, Mr. Frond.

Thank you. Okay.

And without further ado, sit back and enjoy

All right, places, people.

How you doing, girl? Um, not great.
