[Mr. Vickle, Ms. Chicarelli and the Magnusons are all in the backyard of the Buttowski residence, sweating from the heat on a super hot day to celebrate Harold's birthday party as soon as he gets home]
VMr. Vickle
Poor Mrs. Buttowski. She picked the hottest day in Mellowbrook history to throw her husband's surprise birthday party. [cut to Kick chilling on a lounge chair, non-sweating] And Kick doesn't sweat one drop. How did you do it?
It pays to keep a cool head.
What does that even mean?
[groans] Don't worry, everyone. Ice cream's on the way. Cowboy Kelly ice cream bars. Harold has loved them since he was a little baby and ate one every day. He even shared one on our first date… uh, sort of.
VMr. Vickle
They don't make those anymore.
I know, but there was one box left in deep freeze.
VMr. Vickle
[relieved] Party saved.
[answers her phone as it rings] Hello? [gasps in horrified shock] The truck broke down! NO COWBOY KELLY BARS!
VMr. Vickle
[dismayed] Party unsaved.
I guess that's my cue. Time to save the party.
[unsure] I don't know, Kick. Remember last time you tried to "save" the party?
Not this time, Gunther. We're hoping to find that truck, get those Cowboy Kelly bars, and save Dad's birthday party.
In your dreams, dill weed. This time, the Brad saves Dad's birthday party.
[opens the box, revealing all the Cowboy Kelly ice cream bars completely melted] I can't believe it! They're all melted!
[takes out one from his helmet] All but one.
Ah. I... I can hardly believe it.
Oh, Kick, you saved your father's birthday party.
How did you keep it from melting?
It pays to keep a cool head.
Oh, now I know what that means.
[entering the backyard] Party people, prepare to be saved!
[Snowy day in the cul-de-sac… Honey and Brianna are leaving for Brianna's winter pageant, leaving Harold, Kick, and Brad alone for some quality bonding]
[as she and her daughter exit the house] Okay, boys, we're leaving for Brianna's winter pageant. You three should use this time for some male bonding.
[hugs Kick and Brad close to him] Don't worry, honey. I'll make sure we bond real good.
[gets in the car; sternly] And Harold, stay out of my cookie jar. [closes the car door and drives away]
[in unison] Yeah, Mom. Sure thing.
Yes, dear! Okay, boys. It's every man for himself.
Sorry you didn't win the election, Kendall.
Sorry you didn't get to sew your face to Kick's.
I guess there's always next year, right?
[turns to her; annoyed] If you run next year, I'll sew your face to the floor.
[Jackie grins sheepishly]
[After Kick and Brianna accidentally broke the air conditioner while squabbling, Harold blames it on Brad and grounds him for the whole summer]
You! [angrily pointing at Brad] You did this! [walks over to him] You broke the only thing that makes summer in this house tolerable!
Huh? I don't even know what you're talking about!
Do you know how much the repairman costs?! We're talking hundreds of dollars! At least tens.
[protesting] It wasn't me! I swear! I SWEAR!
All right, Bri, time for us to come clean and confess that it was us.
[outraged] BRADLEY, YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER!
On second thought, I have a whole summer of stunts planned. None of them in my room!
BBrianna
And I'm leaving for Teena Sometimes' Camp Sometimes. Sometimes a camp, sometimes a salon! I WILL NOT MISS IT!
