Author's Note #1:
When you get to where Flynn returns, put on"Gothel Leaves Again," which was part of the musical score from "Tangled."
"I can't believe you would do this to us!" fumed Nathan as we went into Room 48.
"What choice did I have, Nathan?" I said. "She's my mother."
"Then, why does Gothel keep treating you like a baby?"
"She only wants what's best for me! Doesn't your mother do the same..."
"This isn't about my mom!" snapped Nathan. "This is about you taking Gothel's side over us!"
"I only did it to get us out of trouble!" I explained.
"You already did!"
I felt my heart breaking to pieces when he said that.
Realizing the chefs were watching this, Flynn said. "He's...uh...just a little cranky from what happened this weekend."
"And you weren't much help, either!" added Nathan. "Especially back at the Snuggly Duckling."
"Wha...what do you mean I wasn't much help?" asked Flynn. "I helped you get rid of those girls, didn't I?"
"Aside from that!" said Nathan. "We almost got arrested because of you!"
"OK, let's just assume for the moment that everybody doesn't like me!" said Flynn. "I am the most wanted man of the town. And if you look my posters, you'll notice they still can't get my nose right!"
"Is that all you can think about? Your good looks?" asked Nathan.
"Oh, please. You think you're more handsome than me?" Flynn asked back. "I mean, your eyebrows are clearly A-symmetrical.
"And you call that facial hair? Come on!" he added, pointing at Nathan's mustache.
"Well, at least I'm not careless like you!" snapped Nathan.
"Oooh!" exclaimed the chefs.
Stunned by those words, Flynn frowned. "OK, you know what? I don't need this! I don't need this prison of a cooking school! And I especially don't need you! I'm outta here."
"While you're at it," said Nathan. "You can camp out in the streets for all I care!"
"That's fine with me!" said Flynn.
"Fine with me too!" Nathan said back.
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"FINE!" shouted both Nathan and Flynn, who angrily slammed the door, resulting in an even louder CRASH coming from the dishes.
But that didn't faze Nathan. He just stormed into the kitchen and sat down in front of one of the computers.
"I knew you were gonna get it." Krishna said to me.
We all went into the kitchen and watched Nathan go from site to site* on the computer.
"Shouldn't we tell him that the computers are only meant for finding recipes?" asked Curly.
"No." Larry replied sadly. "What can we do?"
"He wants to be left alone." added Moe.
But deep down, I knew I just couldn't leave Nathan alone, especially when Pascal urged me to make things right with him.
I walked over to the computers and sat down beside Nathan, but he hardly noticed.
Again, I looked back at Pascal, who motioned for me to talk to him.
So I did.
"What I was going to say back at the office was...this was all my fault. I'm the one who spoiled everything. And I know how much this program meant to you."
"It's not the Culinary Arts Program I'm worried about." Nathan said after a moment of silence. "It's my entire future. This is only the first step of finding a potential job in the workforce. But you wouldn't understand any of that."
"Actually, I do."
Upon hearing those words, Nathan slowly turned to me.
But before he could speak, we heard the sound of a closed door.
This time, Flynn was back inside.
Having heard everything, he walked over to me and Nathan, whom he stared at with deep regret, saying. "I've been one jerk of a cousin, haven't I?"
"We both acted like jerks." said Nathan.
"You don't have to be." I said. "We can still be a great team. We just...need to get along with each other, OK?"
Nathan and Flynn looked at each other, knowing I was right.
"Cousins?" asked Nathan, extending his hand.
Flynn smiled a bit and shook Nathan's hand, replying. "To the end."
As he, Larry and Curly saw this with the chefs, Moe sniffled. "I'm...I'm so happy."
"So am I." sniffled Curly.
Then the Stooges and Minions started to cry.
"OK, let's get to work before they flood the place." said Gru.
As we each put on a uniform, Nathan said to both me and Flynn. "Hey, listen. What you did back there, helping me with the Kankers...Thanks."
Flynn and I smiled back at him.
Nathan: As we started to prepare lunch for the day, Flynn asked me. "You know, speakin' of dreams, what's yours again?"
"Well, aside from cooking," I said. "I always wanted to be a voice-over actor."
"Seriously? Out of all the other jobs out there?" asked Flynn.
"I've been doing some voice-over practice ever since I was a kid." I explained.
"I am aware of that." said Flynn.
"And, I figured, with skills like that," I went on. "It should be more enough to get me a gig in the movies. Care for a little excerpt?"
Flynn looked at Rapunzel, who said. "He does have quite a flair for the theatrics."
Rolling his eyes, he said. "All right, kid. Do your stuff."
That was all I wanted to hear from Flynn. Hopefully, my impersonations should impress him.
"Hey, Rocky!" I said in my Bullwinkle voice. "Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.
"Again?" I said in my Rocky voice.
"Nothing up my sleeve...Presto!"
Instead of a rabbit, it was Pascal who was pulled out of one of the paper toque hats.
"Not exactly what I had in mind, but..." I said in my Bullwinkle voice.
Flynn chuckled a bit. "Now, that's actually not bad."
"Ah, but that's only one of them." I said. "Listen to this^.
"What are you muttonheads up to?" I said in my Moe voice.
"We were just watching the best part of The Bread Show." I said in my Curly voice.
"Well, get back over there and clean those dishes." I said in my Moe voice again.
"Can't we see the rest of the show first?" I said in my Larry voice, then stomped over to the sink, while going. "Nyahh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh!
"Get busy!" I said in my Moe voice.
"Hmm!" I said in my Curly voice.
Rapunzel laughed. "Now, that's really good."
"Nate, you've officially convinced me." said Flynn. "You really can light up the screen with your menagerie of voices."
"That's the whole idea!" I said.
As he, Moe and Curly saw this, Larry asked. "Do we sound like that?"
"Do we?" replied Moe.
"Do we?" repeated Curly.

*That's what I do, check on each site online to keep on track on what's new on the entertainment industry.
^Also, my impersonations of Moe, Larry and Curly, inspired by one of their shorts, "An Ache in Every Stake," were actually from "The Three Stooges of JobTrain," which is, again, the prequel to "Nathan Rosenberg: JobTrainee."
