MOON!! [Buster: Mr. Crystal.] Your set designs are a disgrace! [Buster: What?] [glares at Buster for a moment, then laughs] I'm just messing with you. Where's your sense of humor, huh? Anyway, this is my daughter Porsha. [Porsha: Hey.] [Buster: Nice to meet you, Porsha.] She wants to meet Calloway. Big fan, aren't you, baby?

Oooh. Can I try?
No-no-no-no-no-no, I can't let you jump off here?
Daddy! He won't let me jump!
Jimmy Crystal Hey, Moon, come on. Let her do the thing.
Yay! Hee-hee.
Porsha, wait!
Sasha
Whoa, hey! Um, just a minute.
Whoo! Whoo-ee! Woo-hoo-hoo! I love it! Woohoo! It's easy!
Alright, let's get you down, Rosita.
Oh, my gosh, you guys. This is exactly like the dream I had last night. Seriously, eh? Ya-you were all there, and… You and you and that funny-looking guy over there. Um, all of you. And you asked me to sing for ya.
Jimmy Crystal Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Come on in.
Whoa. This place is incredible.
Jimmy Crystal [chuckles]
Pretty great, huh?
Jimmy Crystal [Buster takes a seat at Crystal's desk]
So, how's it going with Calloway?
Calloway? It's good. Yeah, very good.
Jimmy Crystal Right, right. Well, let me ask you something. What did I do to make you disrespect me, huh?
What?
Jimmy Crystal What? You think I'm an idiot, some kind of bozo?
No, sir. Not at all!
Jimmy Crystal My team, they talked to Calloway's lawyer, and they say he's never heard of you, or your show.
Really? They said that? Uh!
Jimmy Crystal [off-screen and looking angry, slams his fists on his desk]
YOU LIED TO ME!
I didn't mean to. Okay?! Uh, honestly, I really thought I could get him.
Jimmy Crystal No one makes me look like a fool! No one!
I wouldn't dream of doing that to you!
Jimmy Crystal I swear, if you didn't have my kid in your show, YOU'D BE OUTTA THAT WINDOW BY NOW!
Jimmy Crystal [leans forward to Buster]
You'd better have Calloway by the end of next week or so, help me!
I will! I'll get him. I won't let you down, sir.
Jimmy Crystal Oh, I know you won't let me down.

🎵 Hot News! 🎵 And the hottest story today: Porsha Crystal was reportedly fired from her father's show!
Jimmy Crystal [angrily grunts and smashes the TV with the remote control]
He fired my daughter? MY DAUGHTER?! [Porsha sobs] WOULD YOU BE QUIET? YOU EMBARRASSED ME ENOUGH!
Jimmy Crystal Now the whole world thinks I have a talentless loser for a daughter! Take her home! [Porsha is still crying as his henchmen escort her home] Bring me Moon.
[Buster has been called in by Jimmy after "firing" Porsha, he'd just found that Clay has agreed to perform in the show]
Mr. Moon, what have you done?
Mr. Crystal! Ah! I've got some great news. Clay Calloway is on his way here right now!
Jimmy Crystal [to his henchmen]
Everybody out. [his henchmen leaves]
Okay, I think I know what this might be about, and I.
Jimmy Crystal You fired Porsha.
No, no. I never fired her.
Jimmy Crystal You calling her a liar?
No, no, no, no, she just got it wrong is all. I was only trying to help her do the best she could, and be believe me, I just wanna do the right thing.
Jimmy Crystal The right thing to do... [angrily grabs Buster by the collar, screams at him in the face] ...IS WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO!
But I did! I delivered a great show. And Calloway, he's coming. [Jimmy holds him above the roof] No! No! No! Stop! Stop! [screaming]
Jimmy Crystal You really think I'd let a lowlife little amateur loser like You, humiliate me!?
Please! Please!
Jimmy Crystal You made me look bad. So, I'm gonna have to let you go!
[just as he's about to drop Buster, Jerry comes in]
Sir. Uh, sir, sir. I'm so sorry to bother you, but you have a live TV appearance in just a moment, so it might be better if we just put a pin in this right now.
Jimmy Crystal And I'll finish the job later. [He slams the door and locks it]
Sir! Sir, sir! [whispering about Buster escaping from the closet] (Moon is gone.)
Jimmy Crystal [furious]
What? [snaps his fingers to call his henchmen] Moon got out. Find him!
Jimmy Crystal Good night, Porsha. [unbeknownst to him, Porsha is not in her room] Alright, be that way! I don't care! [muttering under his breath] Spoiled little brat.
Mr. Crystal, Mr. Crystal!
Jimmy Crystal Argh! Jerry!
Raoul
I tried to stop him, sir.
I'm so sorry to wake you up, sir! It’s Moon! He's taken over the theater and putting up his show right now!
Jimmy Crystal [outraged]
He's what? [gets out of bed naked, Jerry screams in horror like a lady when he sees him]
[Crystal falls through a trapdoor by Buster]
Ms. Crawly put some cushions and snacks down there, so you should be comfortable 'til the show's over.
Jimmy Crystal Why you little! Aah! [Buster closes the trapdoor]
Come on, Rosita.
Meena
LOOK OUT!
WHOA!
DADDY, STOP IT!!!!
Nooshy
NO!!!
Miss Crawly
MR. MOON!
MR. CRYSTAL, NO!
Jimmy Crystal Well, I've got you now, you lowlife little loser!
No, sir. I'm not a loser. We did what we came here to do. And there's nothing you can do or say to change that.
Jimmy Crystal Oh, I can do whatever I want!
Jimmy Crystal [Last words before his defeat]
Thank you, thank you! You're too kind. I appreciate it, really, I do. Look, I am very proud of this show! We did great work here, great work. And my good friend, Clay. Great to have him back, right? [The audience cheers] Yeah! And listen, I look forward to seeing this show run in my theater, for many, many years to come. Right, Moon? [He turns to find Buster and the others are gone, confused] Moon?
[As the audience laughs at him, Jimmy looks scared and wide-eyed. Suki angrily stands with 6 police officers: a gorilla, a crocodile, an antelope, a rhino, and two dogs]
Officers, arrest that wolf.
[The officers take Jimmy to jail] [runs after arrested Jimmy]
Wait, wait, wait, wait! He's innocent! Mr. Crystal, please, I love you!
