Danny's Summer Job

**Danny's Summer Job** is an episode of *The Brothers* series.

## Synopsis

Danny is desperate to buy a Trans-Go-Go Bot, but neither his brothers nor Jeff will lend him any cash. After getting $60 from Marlon by using Corey, he decides to have a garage sale in which he sells his brothers' stuff instead of his own. Angered by Danny's selfishness, Jeff forces him to go and buy back what he sold at the expense of losing all the money he has. Wanting $700 fast, Alvin starts job hunting. At the Employment Office he is thrown out when he makes crazy salary and vacation demands considering his education and work experience. Other places throw him out for similar lack of qualifications. Once a zookeeper proclaims he needs some help, Alvin volunteers and is hired on the spot.

Danny's new job is very labor intensive and he hides the fact he works at the zoo from Jeff and his brothers. On his second day, he discovers, with the help on a monkey, there are many maintenance issues that need to be fixed. After learning of the zoo's financial difficulties, Alvin recommends to Mr. Handley that he can cut his budget by being more careful about utilities (applying what Dave told him about the house). Seeing as they need money for the repairs, Alvin hosts a car wash and circus, which brings in some money, but nowhere near enough to cover the cost of the forthcoming repairs. After hearing "We're The Chipmunks" on the radio, the animals start making sounds in rhythm. Alvin gets an idea from this and hosts a concert where the zoo animals perform. The zoo makes enough money for the repairs, but there is another issue at stake, the panda just gave birth and Mr. Handley lacks a big enough cage to accommodate her and her cubs. Sadly, he sends the cubs to a zoo in the big city, just as Alvin hands over his paycheck. Mr. Handley is unsure of this, saying that Alvin worked hard for it, but Alvin considers the zoo's well-being above his. The next day, Alvin walks by the toy store and sees the Trans-Go-Go Bot has been sold, and Alvin sighs to himself that it was probably for the best. When he comes home, he sees that Dave has bought the Trans-Go-Go Bot for Alvin in order to thank him for his unselfishness.

## Lyrics

***Danny:***

Hey!

***Daisy:***

Front row in the crowd

Screaming loud along with me

She got her hands up in the air

Whips her hair along to the beat

***Danny:***

And when she's moving to my song

And she's singing along

She knows she dr-dr-dr-dr-drives me insane

***Danny & Daisy:***

Rock and roll lover

Be my rock and roll girl

Yeah! Rock and roll lover

Let me rock your world

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Dave and his brothers try to cheer him up with a cake, some books, and Bruce Springsteen tickets (ironically, Jeff realizes that Alvin lost to Springsteen in making the cover of *Hot Rockers*). Later, it seemed to have worked as they see the cake was eaten, the ticket was redeemed, and a book was read, until Simon realizes it was one of the books he rejected: *Being The Other Guy Is Always Better.* This inspires Alvin to resolve his identity crisis with a new personality. His first choice is "The Boss" - a tough biker-like figure who jackhammers the driveway, but when Jeff and the boys go out to eat at a rough diner, Alvin cannot handle such a lifestyle. The next day, Simon complains his life savings have been emptied, and Corey and Jeff wonders why Alvin now calls himself "Michael" and emulates Michael Jackson, who spent the stolen money on a llama. Despite "Michael's" explanation that the llama is a peaceful animal, it eats the couch. Alvin decides he needs a new personality, to which Dave protests there has been "a new you every day of the week". A montage is shown of Alvin being a monk, martial artist, cowboy, and Elvis. His final choice is as "Rockefeller Seville", a corporate banker who runs the household budget and acts more responsible, having furnished a nice office from furniture he bought from selling the llama back, but life around the Seville residence has become drab from Alvin's attempts to cut costs everywhere. When the lights and TV are shut off, Dave puts his foot down and says "it is time to fight fire with fire". The next morning, "Rockefeller Seville" sees Dave, Theodore, and Simon all impersonating the old Alvin. Realizing his mistake in being a copycat of other successful people, Alvin says the best personality is the one he knew all along.
