Dan, Chris and others in “The Lemonade Stand Gang”

Only Ninja Dave's makes lactose-free chocolate chip cookies.

Uh-huh.

What's wrong, buddy? We won.

We didn't win. Not in the moral sense.

But we won in the practical sense, which is the only sense that matters.

Yeah, but they're just kids. Even if they are hooligans, I don't feel good about wrecking their bikes.

Eh, we taught them a lesson. It takes a village, Chris.

I don't know. How would you like it if someone destroyed your property?

I guess you can answer that question for both of us.

[answers the phone at home] Hello? They did what?! [shows up outside of Ninja Dave's Cookies where the fire fighters are hosing down the fired car] Seriously? The lemonade stand kids did this?

I told you they were bad kids.

They will all disappear. No one will ever know what became of them, except maybe in a weapons factory in North Korea where their tiny hands will be put to work assembling-

Wait, what?

They destroyed our car.

Don't you see? I took the low road with Dan and look where it got us.

Maybe you just didn't take it low enough.

That's what I've been saying.

Here's what I've learned from tonight. When you take the low road, you force the other guy to go lower. And that makes you go lower and so on.

That's pretty much how it works. Whoever goes lowest first wins.

No, we're better than this. No more destruction.

What?!

I'm not better than this.

No destruction!

Fine. Let's give the baby his bottle.

This is why the other boys pick on him.
