[Middle School ends, and the gang walks out of the school along with every other student] Lincoln: "It's true, Gus is debuting a new pizza flavour today and word on the street is it's watermelon mole." [Everyone is excited, except Zach] Zach: "Watermelon on pizza?" [Sighs] "This time humanity has just gone too far." Rusty: "Guys, check out these sick moves I've got planned for the dance battle game." [Starts dancing in the sidewalk] "You just gotta feel it." [Trips as his friends walk up to him] "Now imagine that, but I don't fall." [Suddenly, Rusty's dad pulls up] Rodney: "Hey, Rusty." Rusty: "Dad, what are you doing here? Did you forget I'm hanging with the dawg squad today?" Liam: "Dawg squad?" Stella: "Yeah, we never approved that name." Rodney: "I'm in a real polyester pickle, my fabric guy sent me the wrong swatches and now I have to drive to Hazeltucky and exchange them for something more suitable." [Laughs at his little joke] "Anywho I need you to watch the store until I get back it should only take a few hours." Rusty: "Gee… uh… I don't know…" [Rusty sees his dad giving him sad eyes] "Uh…" [Rodney's eyes grow more pitiful] "..a better way to spend my afternoon. Happy to help, Dad." Rodney: "You will? Hot shaw!" Rusty:[Gets in the car] "Sorry, dawg squad, I'll catch up with you later." [The Spokes' drive off, the dawg squad choking on the exhaust] Stella:[Calls after them] "Still a no on dawg squad!"
[Later, at Duds for Dudes, Rodney is showing his son the ropes] Rodney: "Now, let's see… use felt hangers for the designer duds, arrange the ties from fun time casual to serious business, and don't forget the Spokesman motto." Rodney & Rusty: "For satisfaction guaranteed, learn what a dude wants and what a dude needs." Rodney: "There's that old sales gene. Oh, that reminds me boot-cut jeans are on sale over there. Rust man you're really saving my hide." [Wipes his tears with a tie] Rusty: "Dad, not the silk!" Rodney: "That was a test, Son. And you pass just one more thing before I leave." [Walks towards the counter and gestures to the rack behind it] "Nothing on that tailoring rack is for sale those items are…" Rusty: "Pick up only, don't worry I got this." Rodney: "Ha! that's my boy." [Rusty brings Rodney to the door] Rusty: "Okay, got it, Dad, don't want to keep the fabric guy waiting. See ya." [Ushers Rodney out and closes the door] "Sooner he's back the sooner I can hang with the dawg squad. Then again, maybe I can hang with the dawg squad without leaving the store."
[Later, Rusty is video chatting with his friends] Lincoln: "Hey, Rusty, how are things going over there?" Rusty: "Pretty sweet, bro. Now tell me about the watermelon mole pizza." Clyde: "It's hard to describe it's sort of…" [Rusty loses connection. Rusty groans and waves the phone around trying to find a better signal] Mr. Grouse:[Looking through the suits] "My old suits aren't cutting it anymore at the bingo hall. I need a fresh look." Rusty:[Not listening] "I can't get a signal on my cell." [Rusty climbs on a mannequin, which falls over, knocking over the suit rack and Mr. Grouse.] Mr. Grouse: "What are you doing kid?" [Notices the mannequin Rusty's holding] "Oh, you really think I could pull off leather? I'm gonna go try this on." [Takes the mannequin to the dressing rooms. Meanwhile, Morpheus is looking for a new cloak] Morpheus:[Lookig in a mirror] "So, what do you think, Thorn? I don't have a reflection so I can't tell." [Thorn crows reality at him] "Ssh! I'm pretending I'm a vampire. Thanks for ruining the fantasy." [Meanwhile, Rusty jumps up on the counter] Rusty: "Sweet, my signal's back." [Stella and Zach are having a dance battle, and Rusty's best friend is losing] "Step to the left. Step to the right. Like this, watch and learn." [Rusty busts out his own moves, accidentally sending his phone flying. It bounces off Morpheus' head] Morpheus: "I've been struck! Thorn! Avenge me." [Thorn goes after Rusty and steals his selfie stick. Meanwhile, Tyler is looking for some new pants] Scoots: "Ooh, those chinos will be great for your DJ gig, Ty-Ty." Tyler: "I don't know, babe. Let me test them out. Party people! Can I get a what's up!?" [Gets into a handstand then pretends to scratch a record] "I think I need a second opinion." [Goes to Rusty] "Hey man, what do you think of these chinos?" [Rusty isn't paying attention, he's still video chatting with Clyde] Clyde: "I'm spending all my tickets on this ergonomic neck pillow." Rusty:[Not noticing Tyler] "No way, that is the worst option." Tyler:[Goes back to the change room] "Oh, you're right. What was I thinking?" [Cries] Scoots:[To Rusty] "Nice work, bozo, you crushed his chino dreams." [Just then, Rusty gets a call from his dad] Rodney: "Ha-cha-cha!" Rusty: "Dad!" Rodney: "I won't be back for a few more hours, Rust-Man, the fabric guy is more stubborn than wrinkles on rayon. Okay, gotta get going, See ya." [Call ends] Rusty:[Groans] "At this rate, I'm never gonna get to Gus's. But, maybe I can get Gus's to come to me."
[Later, there are disco lights in the store window and amplifiers booming. The rest of the gang have come to the store and are having a dance party with Rusty. Except for Stella, who is a little skeptical about this.] Lincoln: "Rusty, this was an awesome idea to hang out while you're working." Clyde: "Yeah, this rocks." Stella: "Hey, Rusty, don't take this the wrong way but don't you have to work?" Rusty: "Stella, Stella, I am working, and vibing. I can do both at the same tizime. Besides, if a customer needs me they'll give me a shout for help." Mr. Grouse:[Still in the change room] "Hello?! I'm shoutin' for help. I'm stuck in my leather pants." [Rusty doesn't hear Mr. Grouse and gets back to partying] Rusty: "Woohoo! Pump up the volume." [Zach crumps and notices something] Zach:[Gasps, and picks up some space themed pants] "Great moons of Jupiter. So shiny. Must try on." [Goes to do so] Rusty: "And now, feast your eyes on my new move… The Sweaterfold." [Dances like he's folding a sweater] Tyler: "I found them." [Slides up wearing white pants] "The perfect pants, they were on that rack in the back of the store." Rusty:[Not realizing something] "Uh-huh, little busy bro." Scoots: "Just ring us up before we change our minds." [Rusty does so] Rusty:[As they leave] "Have a dudlightful day." Lincoln: "Hey, you're pretty good at this." Rusty: "Thanks, bro." [Gets a call] "Uh, I better take this in my office important store business." [Goes to the back] "Go for the Rust-Man." Rodney: "Son, it's me, your father, I forgot to mention that a big customer is coming by around closing time to pick up his pants. They're the tight white pair from the tailoring rack." [Rusty remembers something] Flashback Tyler: "They were on that rack in the back of the store." [Scoots appears in the flashback] Scoots: "You're in trouble, sales boy." [End of flashback] Rodney: "And no pressure, but this client has the power to make or break Duds for Dudes with just one social media post. keep it on the DL but… It's Mick Swagger." [Rusty gulps and escapes. He checks the rack] Rusty:[Looking through the pants on the rack] "No, no, no." Stella: "Hey, Rusty, what's going on?" Rusty: "I just sold Mick Swagger's pants. This could ruin Duds for Dudes forever. I have to get those pants back. Will you guys help me?" Stella: Of course. We're your dawg-squad." [The other boys look at her for calling them that] "He's having a bad day, just roll with it."
[Later, Lincoln has Tyler's DJing website up] Lincoln: "Okay, here it is, Tyler's DJ Service." [Calls him] Tyler's Voicemail: "Yo, yo, yo, it's your boy, Tyler. Leave a message after the airhorn." [An airhorn blasts right in Lincoln's ear] Lincoln:[Shouting] "I got his voicemail!" [Normally] "Sorry, that airhorn was Loud. Maybe Tyler is with Scoots." Rusty: "To Sunset Canyon! We only have an hour until Mick arrives." [They exit the store] Mr. Grouse:[Still inside] "Help! I got one leg out of the pants but I can't feel the other one."
[At Sunset Canyon, The gang finds Scoots in the yard] Clyde: "Scoots, we tried calling you. What's so important that you can't answer a phone?" Scoots: "It's zen hour." [Growingly agitated] "A time for residents to relax and unplug from our devices!" Rusty: "Where's Tyler I desperately need his pants." Scoots: "Chillax, sales boy he's DJing his gig." Rusty: "Did he say where?" Scoots: "How should I know? Just because we're dating doesn't mean I hang on every word he says. Now scram! I got a restorative tai chi class to catch, it keeps me calm." [Scooters away] Rusty: "We'll just have to check every DJ venue in town." [The gang agrees] [At The Burnt Bean, Rusty rings the service bell. The barista arrives and Rusty asks if Tyler was there] Barista Guy: "Nuh-uh." [Later, they try Bangers and Mosh] Waiter Guy: "No." [Next, they try Giovanni Chang's, where couple is getting married. Two people are holding up a chair with the newlyweds sitting on it. The woman shakes her head but the man lets go of the chair to get a closer look, sending the woman and the married couple toppling over. With no options left, the gang walks down the streets] Liam: "Oh, don't fret Rusty, maybe we can go back and ask that groom fella for his bridges. I thought those were mighty slick." Rusty: "The groom is not going to give up his pants, it's hopeless. Mick will be at the store any minute and we're no closer to finding Tyler." [Just then, Cheryl and Meryl walk past] Cheryl:[To her sister] "Ooh, you're gonna love this club. Agnes says the DJ is on fire, and his pants are far out." Rusty:[Realizes something] "Far out pants? Looks like it's not hopeless after all." [Cheryl and Meryl enter Karaoke-Dokie] Stella: "Come on, guys, this could be it." [It is it, Tyler is DJing the place. The gang, minus Zach, run up to him] Tyler: "Sorry, pack of kids, I already spun the limbo song." Rusty: "No, I need those pants back." Tyler: "Tough, these pants are a part of me now. I'll never give them up." [Rusty thinks and then notices Zach dancing on a table, in the space pants] Rusty:[Gasps] "How about an exchange? Your pants for Zach's much cooler ones." [Tyler takes a better look at Zach's pants] Tyler: "Deal." [Tyler comes from behind the DJ booth, with numerous holes in his pants] Rusty:[Gasps and freaks out] "What have you done?" Tyler: "I improved them. I didn't take four years of DJ fashion styling to show up looking basic." [Rusty groans and slaps his face]
[Later, the gang is cycling back to Duds for Dudes, all with determined looks, except Zach who is stuck in his underwear and glaring angrily at Rusty] Zach:[Furious and humiliated] "Ugh! I can't believe you traded my pants, Rusty!" Rusty: "You can be mad at me later. We have fifteen minutes before Mick arrives. We'll head to the tailoring section and patch these up and my dad will never know." [Just then, the pants get caught in Rusty's bike tire and Rusty ends up crashing into a tree, angering a bird. Rusty still has the pants] "Got them." [Just then, the bird poops on them] "Do they look okay?" [The gang cringes and Rusty groans]
[Back at Duds for Dudes, the gang enters, feeling like they failed] Stella: "What do we do now?" Clyde: "Maybe the carpet steamer could help, or some seltzer." [Just then, Mr. Spokes finally returns, Rusty hides the pants behind the counter] Rodney: "Ha-cha! Rodster is back with the swatches. How'd it go, Rusty?" Rusty: "Tight. tight, everything was tight." [Rusty smiles and Rodney looks confused] "Nothing was tight, I wanted to hang with my friends and I wasn't paying attention and sold Mick's pants to someone else, and now they're ruined just like Duds for Dudes. I'm sorry, Dad." Rodney: "Well, I'm not happy you did that. But I'm glad you fessed up the Spokes men didn't get where we are today without making a few mistakes and then fixing them. Now, show me what we're working with." [Rusty takes out what's left of Mick's pants] "We're doomed." [Just then, someone walks in, none other than Mick Swagger] Mick: "Hello retailers of Royal Woods!" [Sees his pants] "Blimey, are those me trousers? What did you do!?" [Rodney stutters] "This customer is not satisfied." Rusty:[Thinks] "For satisfaction guaranteed…" [Remembers what he and his dad said before] Flashback Rodney & Rusty: "For satisfaction guaranteed, learn what a dude wants and what a dude needs." [End of flashback. Rusty has a confidence boost] Rusty: "Mick, my man. let me hit you with some knowledge. You want the world to know you're the king of edgy rocker fashion, right?" Mick: "I should know that already, but go on." Rusty: "A one-of-a-kind dude like you needs one-of-a-kind pants." [Takes Mick to the mirror] "Before we redesigned them your pants were so last album. So do you want to be yesterday's Mick Swagger? Or today's Mick Swagger?" [Hold the damaged pants in front of Mick] Mick: "I just don't know…" [Everyone grows nervous] "..How I ever lived without these pants!" [Everyone is delighted] "You're absolutely right, mate, I want these pants. I need these pants. I love these pants!" [Everyone cheers] "I'm posting on me social that Duds for Dudes is the only store for me when I'm in Royal Woods… and send." Lincoln:[To Rusty] "I knew you were good at this." Rodney: "He sure is. Now, who wants to celebrate with some Flippees?" Mick: "First round's on me, mates." [Everyone cheers and heads off] Mr. Grouse:[Who was in the store the whole time] "Hello? Hello? Where'd everybody go?" [Exits the changing room with the very tight leather suit on] "Well it was a tight fit, but I got it on." [The suit starts trembling and bursts. Mr. Grouse is bummed out]
