I'm not joking.

I won't let you leave

until you tell me what's going on.

- Mind your own business.

- She's fine.

She's amazing.

Thank you.

She's in the store.

She's going to be okay.

What's with you?

Yesterday you were normal...

today you're like the Chinese guy

from The Karate Kid.

What's with you today?

What's with "today" today?

I don't know.

Why'd you do that?

I'm just your typical nutty teenager

in America.

Before you hear all about it...

That's supposed to be a joke, right?

No. You're the joke.

Well, Sinead O'Rebellion...

shock me, shock me, shock me

with that deviant behavior.

That is so clever. You get smarter

the shorter your skirt gets.

And you get smarter

the shorter your hair gets...

so it's probably a good thing

you went with that.

- It's a wonderful look for you, darling.

- Thank you.

I have to go to the bathroom.

I want to report a robbery.

No, I will not hold...

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Veto!

What's up with that?

It's too early.

It makes the customers all crazy-like.

That's the whole point.

Eddie!

What's up, dude?

I heard your music playing.

- That's pretty scary stuff.

- Yeah, it was moshy.

I'm glad to say I made you

a tape last night, for educational purposes.

Here's the deal.

You start off with a little classical music.

Then you got some Shaggs on there,

and Residents...

- and a little Floyd and Zeppelin.

- Floyd is very cool.

And another very cool thing is,

I made you these.

They're my special recipe

and you know what that means.

Lots of sugar.

You got to understand something here.

This music is the glue of the world.

It holds it all together. Without this...

life would be meaningless.

Dude, have you heard about Lucas?

Lucas, man, I heard you went to Vegas

and married a mobster's wife...

and now you've got a hit on you.

Is that true?

Not entirely true.

Outlaw Man, we salute you.

Thank you.

- No problem.

- This song goes out to our employee of the week, Lucas.

A little tribute, man.

What the hell's this?

"Rules and standards

for Music Town employee conduct"?

Put these in the boxes.

- Music Town? We're not a Music Town.

- No, we're not a Music Town...

yet.

Isn't Music Town a chain?

- "No gum chewing will be allowed inside the store"?

- They're turning us into a Music Town?

- Why didn't you tell us?

- Because I was trying to stop it.

What do you mean?

I got enough money to make Mitch an offer.

He was going to make me a partner.

I could have bought him out, eventually.

You were going to buy Empire?

- That's a good thing, right?

- That'll be fantastic.

Do you think it'll happen now?

I must pay for what Mr. Brilliant did.

- It's over, kids, okay?
