(park bench, day. Muscle Man chews a piece of gum, and then spits it out on a wrapper before placing it on the ground at sitting next to Starla. A speedwalker is coming up)
Muscle Man: Oh, it's on. (pulls out popcorn bag) Time to bust out the popcorn, baby. (starts eating some of them)
(the speedwalker steps onto the gum-covered wrapper as Muscle Man laughs at what he just did)
Muscle Man: Why aren't you laughing, babe? You always laugh when we go on dates!
Starla: Mitch, we have to talk. (MM&S get up from the bench as Muscle Man wonders what Starla is about to say) I've been thinking. We need to take our relationship to the next level. My parents are in town tonight, and I think you should meet them over dinner! (MM&S grab eachother's hands)
Muscle Man: Whoa, seriously? Babe, that's a huge step! (swings her down) And I already know the perfect place: Wing Kingdom.
Starla: Uh, I don't think you should take my parents to Wing Kingdom. (Muscle Man frowns as Starla gives her opinion) I have another place in mind.
(mini montage of a fancy-looking restaurant. First, we see a chandeleir. Then, we cut to a man sitting at a table with a cup of tea. He raises his pinky finger off the cup, and then, takes a sip. Next, we cut to a woman with a napkin. She raises her pinky fingers from off the napkin, and then, wipes her upper lip. Then, we see a sign that reads: No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service. Muscle Man looks through the window, dismayed)
Muscle Man: Oh no, bro. (to Starla) Uh, are you sure about this place?
Starla: Yeah! This is the best place to make an impression. I really want my parents to like you.
Muscle Man: Sure. Then, let's go here, babe.
Starla: (kisses Muscle Man) I'm so excited for my parents to meet you! (gasps) I have so much to do! (runs off)
(clock transition to the kitchen of Pops' house. Muscle Man is making a reservation as Mordecai and Rigby walk in)
Muscle Man: I'd like to make a reservation. (M&R notice what's going on) Yeah. Sorrenstein, party of four, seven o'clock PM.
Restaurant Employee: Oui, <Yes,> Mr. Sorrenstein, we will see you tonight at seven. Now, we do have a strict dress code.
Muscle Man: (begins sweating profusely) Dress code?
Restaurant Employee: Oui. <Yes.> Black tie, jacket...
Muscle Man: (M&R look on) Jacket? I think I might have a windbreaker.
Restaurant Employee: (angrily) What?! Did I mention a shirt and shoes are required as well?!
Muscle Man: Uh... Of course not, I know that! Now, this is totally a joke question, but that shirt has to be clean too, right?
Restaurant Employee: What?! Well, I never! (cut back to kitchen. The employee is yelling over the phone)
Muscle Man: (frightened) See you at seven! (quickly hangs up phone, panting)
Rigby: Lemme guess, Bistro en Le Parc?
Muscle Man: Yeah. I have to meet Starla's parents there tonight.
Mordecai and Rigby: Whoa, takin' it to the next level!
Muscle Man: Yeah, but didn't you hear that? I barely made it through the reservation! How am I gonna impress Starla's parents if I can't even make a reservation?
Mordecai: Dude, just be yourself.
Muscle Man: I can't be myself! Myself sucks! Starla will totally dump me if her parents don't like me.
Rigby: We'll help you get fancy for your dinner.
Muscle Man: Really, dudes?
Mordecai: Yeah man. We're your friends. We hate to see you bummed out.
Rigby: Plus, last time Starla dumped you, you got all sad and we had to do your work.
Muscle Man: (laughs) Yeah. Sure glad I'm not you guys. Where do we start?
Mordecai: Not we. (cut to Pops' room, where Pops is standing) He. (zoom out)
Pops: (laughs) I'm so happy that you decided to become fancy, Muscle Man. And, you want me to help! I even wrote a book about it! (puts a book on the table, titled:) Fanciness, Theory and Practical Application. (opens book) A practical application of advanced theory of fanciness. (MR&MM walk back, out) Volume one of six. First printing, publishing date, M-C-M, X, V, I-I-I... (Mordecai closes the door)
Mordecai: Dude, we're gonna have to do this our way.
Muscle Man: Good. 'cause I don't know if I can handle having to listen to Pops speak Spanish anymore.
(clock transition to a montage of Muscle Man learning fanciness. Mordecai holds up a book called, "Etiquette for Very Young Children," and opens the book to step 1, "A firm handshake." Outside, Mordecai raises his arm for Muscle Man to shake, but Muscle Man clumsily pounds it from the top and bottom, then realizing he did it wrong. Next, they practice step 2, "Open the door for guests." Muscle Man opens the door for Rigby to walk through, but quickly runs in through the doorway, slamming the door in front of Rigby. Rigby facepalms before they next practice step 3, "Seat your guests." Muscle Man at first does it right when Rigby sits in the chair, but pushes it in too hard. We then use a clock transition into Muscle Man learning the forks in the kitchen. Mordecai holds up a sign that tells Muscle Man to pick up the salad fork. Muscle Man then picks up the fork to his farthest left. M&R nod in approval, and Muscle Man smiles, as we clock transition to the Awkward and Oblong men's store. We end the montage with Muscle Man coming out of a dressing booth, dressed in a tuxedo, and his hair held back with gel)
Mordecai and Rigby: Whoa!
Mordecai: Dude! You look like a whole new man!
Rigby: How do you feel?
Muscle Man: Fancy. (the tuxedo falls apart, and the gel fails to hold Muscle Man's hair back) I can't do this!
Mordecai: We're gonna need a plan B. (to Rigby) Dude, you still got those mini-headsets?
(clock transition to the front of Bistro En Le Parc, night. Muscle Man's dressed in his tuxedo again, recieving instruction from M&R)
Muscle Man: (into headseat) Testing, testing! I don't know if I can do this, guys. (pan over to the window. Mordecai and Rigby, also dressed in tuxedos, are instructing Muscle Man, the former in a fake moustache, the latter in glasses)
Mordecai: Dude, don't worry! We got this! (cut to the inside) We're already inside.
Rigby: Just stick to the plan. Everything will be alright. (cut back to outside)
Muscle Man: Thanks, dudes. I-- (a car horn blares, and headlights shine on Muscle Man. He looks back, and sees Starla, and her parents, dressed in formal attire, coming out of the car)
Starla: (waving) Mitch! Mitch!
Muscle Man: (as Starla and her parents approach) Whoa! Babe! You look totally ho-- (Starla frowns) ...uh, lovely!
Starla: Mitch... (pans over to her parents) ...these are my parents. (short silence)
Rigby: (over headset) Shake their hands.
Muscle Man: (shaking the father's hand) Mitch Sorrenstein.
Starla's Father (Herb): Charmed. I am Sir Herbert Gotzmendoder. (introduces wife) And this is my wife, Madame Rose Gotzmendoder.
Rose: (raises hand) How do you do? (Muscle Man kisses her hand)
Muscle Man: Let's go inside, shall we?
