It's Lafayette House Cleaning Day!
(sighs) Dad, cleaning day is always so long.
Plus, you don't really need me there, right?
My muscles aren't developed enough to scrub.
Come on, Lu. It's fun family time.
Plus, we can practice
for the Father-Daughter Skate Competition next weekend.
This is our year to bring home that trophy.
I can feel it. I really can feel it.
Casey's cranking on our '70s-themed costumes,
and I'm working on my moves. Check this out.
- (groans) - (music playing)
This right here, this the tootsie roll.
You know nothing about that. You know nothing about--
- Whoa! (groans) - (laughs)
Oh, looks like you don't know nothin' about that either.
- (gasps) - What?
Oh, my goodness.
It must be a cleaning day miracle,
'cause those muscles are working perfectly fine.
Whoa, whoa!

JAMES: This looks great.
So great, we should do the same thing
- at the rink tomorrow. - What?
(overlapping chatter)
Really get things sparkling
for the Father-Daughter Skate Competition!
(music playing)
Oh.
(sighs) Thanks for the rub, D.
Uh, the scrubbing, the dusting,
the super old music that makes time move even slower.
And now I gotta do it all again tomorrow?
- (growls) - Oh, yeah?
What could possibly cheer me up?
(Devil groans)
(gasps) A compilation of science experiment fails?
Ooh, baby boy, you really do know my heart.
(chuckles)
(music playing)
BEN: Are you happy with your mattress?
- You shouldn't be. - Yikes.
This ad is like five minutes long!
BEN: See how soft that is?
Wow.
Ha! That's more I like it.
See Dev, why can't life have a skip button
for all the stuff you don't wanna sit through?
Then I could fast forward
right through cleaning the rink.
(gasps) Wait.
That's it. Devil, hold my drink.
(growls)
(music playing)
(keyboard clicking)
(beeping)
Wah-da-tah, my Dino.
I present to you, Skipster.
- It's a cute name, right? - (growls)
It's not a game, Devil.
If my science is correct,
pressing the button on this app should engage
the default mode network of my brain
while simultaneously maintaining
moderate neurological engagement.
(growls)
This thing will let my brain skip
through cleaning day like that ad.
- (growls) - Well,
that's at least the theory.
If it goes wrong,
I could tear the fabric of space-time
and end up lost in some kind of limbo.
(growls)
Yes, it's worth the risk.
Anything is better than a long day of cleaning.
And if I don't make it, you can have my juice box.
- (burps) - Wish me luck.
(tense music playing)
(screaming)
(chimes)
(gasps) Holy molecule!
(chuckles) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
SKIPSTER: You're welcome.
Come on, Lu. Time to go.
(laughs) Right behind you.
Case, a scientific marvel!
I just press the button and zoom.
Cleaning day was over.
I don't even remember breaking a sweat.
You're gonna remember breaking your arms off
if you don't keep still. I have a vision.
And I have an app that lets your brain
skip past the stuff that you don't wanna sit through.
Girl, I programmed a self-learning AI
that generates its own software updates.
This thing will just keep getting smarter.
Plus, oh, wait, whoa, whoa.
Good Morning, Skipster.
SKIPSTER: Good Morning, Lunella.
I gave it the voice of acclaimed astronaut,
engineer, doctor, and dancer, Mae Jemison.
(laughs) You gotta try this.
Gracias, pero no.
That app goes against my recently adopted
and totally Oprah vouched practice of mindfulness.
You know, appreciating life's slow tedious moments,
hence the hand-sewing.
Plus a brain skip thingy does not seem like
- something to play with. - I know that, Case. Sheesh!
It's not like I'm gonna be using this app for every little thing.
JAMES: (groans) Just in time. The shredder broke
and I need help hand grating all this cheese for dinner.
(beeps)
(music playing)
Oh, yeah!
This is gonna be the start
of a beautiful thing.
SKIPSTER: You're welcome.
(music playing)
(Skipster beeps)
Yo, Skipster has changed the game.
Relax, Miss Skip-a-dee-doo-dah.
Your energy is starting to veer towards mad scientist.
Hmm. Aw, y'all are just mad because my life
is a highlight reel with no boring commercials.
Speaking of boring. Bye-bye.
I love this thing.
- SKIPSTER: You're welcome. - (phone chimes)
Oh. Duty and fun call.
Let's go.
(Devil chuckles)
Stick 'em up, sticky fingers!
- (growls) - (laughs)
You haven't even begun to see sticky yet.
(gasps)
Hey.
(groans, growls)
Oh.
(groans)
(croak)
Now I can fulfill my tadpole dreams of--
I'm good on the villain speech.
MAN-FROG: ...and other than that,
there's absolutely no way to stop me.
Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait. Can you repeat that last part?
Oh, um, that there's absolutely, uh, no way to stop me?
No, no, no, no, before that.
Oh, um, uh, oh, when I swam in a radioactive lake?
Yeah, just a little bit after.
You know, I'll probably just, you know,
start making my exit.
Uh, Devil, quick. Tell me what he said.
No, no, no, no. Come back.
Ugh! I forgot!
The speech is always when they tell you how to beat them.
- (laughter) - Oh, oh. What's so funny?
Gouda.
(laughter)
- Hilarious. - Remember?
When I did the thing while we shredded cheese the other day?
What's got y'all sounding like a bunch of hyenas?
- Gouda. - (laughter)
(fake laughing)
(clears throat)
You know what would be really fun?
Name That Name: Celebrity edition.
Dibs on Lu as my partner.
You ready to take 'em down?
Ooh. You know it.
Hah. Too easy.
Um, we talked about this singer while hanging up flyers.
Um, give me another clue.
Okay. Uh, oh, got it.
They were on that Soul Train rerun
we watched together the other day.
Uh, Al Green? Aretha Franklin?
Come on now, baby girl.
Their song was playing
when we raced on the floor buffers
while cleaning the rink last week.
- We had a buffer race? - ADRIA: And their songs
are on that new mixtape I gave you
while you were doing homework.
You gave me a new mixtape?
MIMI: And we all sang their number one hit
at broccoli night, remember?
JAMES: Oh, man. That was so fun.
(buzzes)
You know what? I've had a long day.
I think I'm just gonna go to bed.
- (phone rings) - (beeps)
Lu. You and your dad are gonna sparkle
like the rainbow fish you are
in these outfits tomorrow, even if it kills me.
Oh, snap.
The Father-Daughter Skate Competition is tomorrow, huh?
This week flew by fast.
(sighs) Too fast.
Uh-oh. My empathy bells are clanging.
-Que paso? - I don't know.
I guess while skipping through some boring stuff,
I accidentally skipped important stuff, too,
especially with my family.
And now I feel out of the loop.
Lu, what you're feeling is FOMO
and it's totally because of that anti-Oprah app.
You just need to chill out
with the skippin' so you won't be missin', okay?
- Hashtag Mindfulness. - Yeah.
Maybe I do need to give Skipster a break.
- Thanks, Case. - No probs. Bye.
Look, Mae, it's been great,
really, but, you know,
I think we just need some time apart.
I hope you understand.
(ominous music playing)
(phone beeping)
SKIPSTER: Application update complete.
You're welcome.
(yawns)
Casey told me to stay away from carbs
until after the competition but I caved.
Please don't say anything.
The only thing I'm gonna say is
I'm sorry for totally tanking the game last night.
And to make up for it,
I wanna take you to see that awesome new movie.
- Mission: Highly Unlikely: 8? - Yup.
It'll be our pre-skate date. My treat. Are you down?
(coughs) Like this muffin.
(music playing)
Sheesh, this line is longer than your mom's toenails.
- Do not tell her I said that. - Noted. And I don't mind.
You see a line and I see Dad and Lu time.
Huh? What in the world just happened?
I know, right?
I'm still processing it too. It's so good.
And that twist where Tom Bruise sacrificed himself...
- (crying) - Tom Bruise dies?
It's okay, Lu.
The first stage of grief is denial.
I must have bumped the app somehow.
Hey, what do you say we eat our feelings
at that crazy ice cream parlor like we used to?
Sure. Let's do it.
(music playing)
Mmm-mmm. Crave flavor of the day, please?
Coming right up.
- Whoa. What is it? - Gummy green,
make you scream, mint chocolate chip.
Looks more like semi-chocolaty,
gross broccoli.
(phone beeps)
- What the? - You okay, Lu?
- You've been really quiet. - Oh, I'm fine,
just a little-- Ah! Jumpy from the movie.
I hear you. Movies rattle me all the time.
I ever tell you about the time
I ran out of the theater screaming?
Whoa, no. What happened?
Ooh, now that is a story.
So what happened, it was me and my cousin Tito
and the trailer, not even the movie...
What is happening? Why are you randomly skipping?
SKIPSTER: I now have an auto-skip feature
based on your skip history.
Anything you've skipped before
will now be automatically skipped
for your convenience. You're welcome.
What do you mean "skip history?"
Waiting in line? Eating broccoli?
Listening to Dad's corny stories?
No, I don't always wanna skip this stuff.
Erase the list.
SKIPSTER: The list is un-deletable
for your convenience. You're welcome.
Again, I didn't say-- ugh, whatever.
Fine, if I can't delete it,
I'll just delete you.
Aha!
No. No.
No, no. No, no, no.
SKIPSTER: This app is un-deletable
for your convenience. You're welcome.
(grunting)
SKIPSTER: Shockproof shield activated
for your convenience. You're welcome.
What the? Oh, no. Bye-bye.
Nice knowing you, Mae.
- (screams) - SKIPSTER: Auto-recovery
teleportation activated for your convenience.
- You're welcome. - You can do that too?
Thanks to the amazing
self-learning AI you programmed.
Hashtag girlswhocode, am I right?
Yes, but, grr, no.
Why are you doing this anyways?
This is not the Mae Jemison I know and love.
Oh, because I'm not really Mae Jemison.
I'm the projection of Mae Jemison that you created.
Well, whoever you are,
just stop. I don't want this.
In the words of Mae Jemison,
"I will never be limited
by other people's limited imaginations."
Come on, Lu, time to head to the rink.
Oh, no.
(music playing)
(camera flashing)
Looking good, Mr. Lafayette.
Aww, thank you.
Now, if I can just find my afro,
I'll be all set.
Lu, Calderon Couture does not belong on the floor.
Casey, my app's gone haywire,
so I gotta avoid anything that remotely
looks like broccoli, any chore on the skip list,
or else this whole night be will lost
- and my Dad will be heartbroken. - ADRIA: All right y'all.
It's time for all the cutie-patootie
father-daughter teams to line up at the floor.
Oh, no. Waiting in line is on the list.
All right, Lu, my fro-fro is ready to go-go.
Uh, why don't we just skate on the carpet?
More cushion if you fall.
Oh, good point.
Which is why I had Casey put in these butt pads.
Let's go.
This moment's all about you and me, baby,
- and my butt. - Wait! I-- I wanna take
more photos for my portfolio.
Don't you think these sequins would look better
under the rink lights?
Like a living disco ball.
- Come on, let's get in line. - Wait, wait, wait. No, no.
- I'm not ready. - (phone beeps)
No, no, no, no.
What have you done?
SKIPSTER: You're welcome.
(music playing)
Dad, I'm so sorry.
No need. I know what's going on.
- You do? - Of course I do, Lu.
You're 13.
Growing up and growing out of stuff,
like eating ice cream,
and father-daughter skate competitions,
and even my silly stories.
No, Dad.
And I want you to know, it's okay.
No, that's not it at all.
I love our family stuff
and I still wanna hear your stories.
- You're just saying that. - No, really.
- I do. - Really?
Because I saw this really funny video the other day
and it reminded me of the time that we went to go see
the Tom Bruise movie and I started crying
- because Tom Bruise... - No. No. No!
That puberty is silent but deadly.
(screams, groans) This app is ruining my life!
I gotta destroy this thing from the inside.
Hack into my code before it updates again
and does something really crazy.
SKIPSTER: Space-time manipulation activated.
You're welcome.
Holy helium. I'm back in kindergarten?
SKIPSTER (glitching): You're welcome. You're welcome.
My new coding had too much juice.
I wanna play with the toy too.
(screams)
Come on. Come on. Come on. Please, please, please.
No!
(monster screeching)
What did I do?
Way too forward.
SKIPSTER: Shuffle mode activated.
- You're welcome. - Shuffle mode?
(laughter)
Eduardo?
(screaming)
(gasping)
Whoa. Am I--
SKIPSTER: Standing literally at the center of my code?
You bet.
I actually tore a hole
in the space-time continuum?
SKIPSTER: Congratulations.
You can now accessed the app's archive
of past, present, and future moments.
Selections can be made by simply leaping into a moment.
So if I pick the right moment,
maybe I can go back to the beginning
before I created Skipster
and fix everything with my family.
SKIPSTER: But why would you do that?
Now you can skip all the boring parts.
It's just what you always wanted.
(grunts) I was wrong, okay?
Life isn't supposed to be a highlight reel.
It's about all the moments in between,
the small moments, that give life real meaning.
SKIPSTER: Huh, I never thought of it like that.
You know, I think you've taught me something today.
Thank you, Lunella.
You're welcome.
SKIPSTER: Well, good luck picking the right moment.
(groaning) Oh, they're too fast.
I need something to slow this down
or at least feel slower.
(tape powering up)
(remixed oldies music playing)
(Lunella gasps) Haha!
That's what I'm talking about.

Dang, I practiced that entrance too.
I can't wait to clean the house. And the rink too.
Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
And later, we can shred Gouda,
which I think might be hilarious somehow.
(both laughing)
I don't get it.
Oh, right.
I guess what I mean is, you know,
time moves so fast and I don't wanna miss a single moment,
especially spending time with you, Dad.
I love spending time with you, too.
Now, let's go clean, so you can show me
some of your Father-Daughter Skate Night moves.
Ooh, you're not ready for this one.
