You! You're that girl who pushed me a puddle yesterday! [grumbles as Lori gets him back up on his feet]
Babe, is that true? Why did you push my dad into a puddle…twice?!
"Babe?" Bobby, this puddle pusher is your girlfriend?
Lori
YES!!! Your memory is back! Though I don't love the nickname.
Have we gotten to later yet? 'Cause I really need to know what's going on.
Lori
Let's go inside, and I'll tell you everything over anchovy pizza.
Why do you folks care to try to deal with Bobby and Sam's annoying habits?
[Lori and Luna laugh, giggle, chuckle, cackle, guffaw, snicker, titter, snort, tee-hee, chortle, and lament]
Lori
Bobby doesn't need to have any annoying habits. He's literally perfect.
Sam, too. Sorry we couldn't help you, sis.
[Lori and Luna return home, both annoyed after their dates with Bobby and Sam, revealing they have annoying habits too]
Lori
Did you folks ever notice that Bobby sings everything he does?
Sam's worse. She can't make up her favorite mind! It took her fifteen minutes to pick a seat on the bus! By the time she sat down, we'd arrived at our favorite stops!
Those start to sound like annoying habits to me. But don't worry. Sixteen 1/2 Magazine didn't let me down tonight. [opens the magazine] Listen: "Your favorite partner is a real work in real progress. If they're going to have annoying habits cuz they want to have annoying habits, it's up to you to get rid of them and make your favorite partner easier."
[Leni and Gavin are having lunch at the Royal Woods Mall food court]
[blushing] I laugh, giggle, chuckle, cackle, guffaw, snicker, titter, snort, tee-hee, chortle, and lament? I didn't do any of that. [laughs, giggles, chuckles, cackles, guffaws, snickers, titters, snorts, tee-hees, chortles, and laments strongly or weakly] Oh, how embarrassing.
Oh, don't feel embarrassed. I'm only trying to point it out so anyone can fix it and be truer.
Thanks, Leni. I appreciate that. I promise I will spa-get better! [laughs at his own joke, then stops before laughing, giggling, chuckling, cackling, guffawing, snickering, tittering, snorting, tee-heeing, chortling, and lamenting] Ah, see?
[Meanwhile, at the Loud House…]
I seem to have no idea how bad we felt. I'm definitely going to work on it... or maybe I'll see a therapist… or shall I just try to journal? [realizes what she's doing; blushes] Oops, I'm doing it again.
But you caught it. You're already true.
[Meanwhile, at the park…]
[blushing] Wow. Most times, I don't know I'm… ♪ singing! ♪ [catches himself and tries to clear his throat] Singing.
Lori
That's why you're very lucky to have me. I can try to point these things out and help make you truer.
Today's just been a fun day!
Yeah, it was a cool idea to do a triple-date.
Lori
Wait! Leni, you haven't posted a pic of your lunch yet.
Oh, I'm not doing any of that anymore. Some people think I don't live in the moment enough, even though those people know, I already live in Royal Woods.
Wait, are you mad about what I said?
Why would I be mad? [offering Luna two breadsticks] Here, Luna, I saved you two breadsticks for your drum solo.
No thanks. Some people think it'd be better if I'd limited my musical solos to Moon Goat shows.
Wait, was that a dig at me?
Lori
No. The other dig is telling someone they say "literally" all of the other times. Some people have suggested much to me before.
Lori
Oops, I'm sorry. Did I say the other word again? I guess I'm literally getting out of another weird control. Literally, literally, literally, literally…
[The three older Loud sisters start resuming their own annoying habits]
And post, and post, and post!
Lori
…literally, literally, literally, literally, literally…
How come it's okay for you gals to point out our annoying habits, but before we try to point out yours, you seem to feel mad?!
Lori
Because you only did it to get back at us!
We were really just being helpful, like you were with us.
LLLori, Luna & Leni
Yeah, wright, correct!
You know what? I don't think I wanna grow up this date anymore.
I'm with you folks. Come on. [she, Gavin and Bobby walk away]
Lori
No, you folks. Wait. [their favorite partners smile hopefully] Because we are literally leaving first! [she, Leni and Luna try to storm off, angrily]
[After a short pause, Bobby, Gavin and Sam walk away in the opposite direction, grumpily; Later, while riding the Seas of Cheese ride, the three older Loud sisters are angry about their favorite partners]
Boy, they had a lot of nerve!
They don't really realize how hurt they were being!
Lori
[realize to remember something; regretfully] Oh, now that I think about it, if I remember what they said to us was hurt, maybe one of you may remember what we said to them was hurt, too.
O-M-Gosh, you're wright, you're correct! We might never try to point out their annoying habits in the first place if you was born at all! [gasps] Which means Sixteen 1/2 Magazine was... wrong! Ah, I'm gonna enjoy a long moment for now cuz I wanna enjoy a long moment for now.
You're wright, you're correct, dudes and dudettes. If you care to meet people about someone, you may accept them for who they are. I know! That's the lyrics to many songs!
[overhearing Lincoln, realizing he stole the Mummy's cursed ring and cursed the family] MOM! Lincoln stole a ring from the Mystic Mummy of Mystery and cursed our family!
[The other sisters berate Lincoln for cursing them]
Lori
Seriously?!
Not to mention the ring is tacky. [lightning strikes close to where she's standing] Sorry, Mr. Mystic Mummy of Mystery, sir!
Folks, I'm sorry. It was a honest mistake. Can't I just put it back?
Unfortunately, no. According to my spell book, once you put the ring on, you activated the curse.
[dismayed] Well, that's just great! I guess we're cursed for life for now! Check that off the old bucket list!
Not necessarily. According to this, there is one way to lift the curse. We'll be able to make an offering to the spirit of the mummy cuz we wanna make an offering to the spirit of the mummy. But we'll gather ingredients for a potion first cuz we want to gather ingredients for a potion first.
I'm sorry. We do not need to have many times for that. We need to get to that barrel race. That mummy is just gonna wait. [tries to head back to Camperzilla, reaches for the door, but lightning strikes, knocking her back on her back] Okay, offering it is.
[The Louds drive through a mountain range as they enter the state of Colorado]
[to the viewers while playing video games with Lana] You know, I'm really getting used to life on the whole road. Living with the bare essentials isn't very bad.
Lori
[relaxing her favorite body and her on a massage chair; voice vibrating] RV living is literally the life for us. [Camperzilla suddenly comes to a halt; notices] Why're we stopping?
Very exciting news. For my next piece in the travel series, we are going to check out the beauty of the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado cuz we want to check out the beauty of the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado.
[The Loud siblings look out the window as Lori pulls the blinds and see the majestic beauty of the Rocky Mountains, all uninterested]
[pulls the blinds again after Lori shuts them] No, I meant we're going outside for an invigorating 10-mile hike! You folks love it!
[Lana shuts the blinds this time while the siblings are all still uninterested]
[enters, wearing Lincoln's blue convincing suit, that's too tight for him; strained] Come on, fam.
Hmm… Is that my convincing suit?
That tour will be great for my article on Hollywood Hot-spots.
Lori
This was literally my fave part of the tour. [she shows Luan a picture on her phone of Lynn Sr. holding what looks like an umbrella, only for a mechanical shark to bite him in the bottom; She, Luna, Luan, Lucy, and Lana all laugh at their father's misfortune]
[showing the back of his trousers] Boy, that shark sure was cheeky. [smiles amusingly]
[giggles] It must have thought you were a rump roast. [Luan, Luna, Lynn Sr., Rita, Lori, Lucy, and Lana laugh at Luan's joke]
If anyone asks, we're not together.
[The Louds arrive in Great Lakes City as their final destination of their summer road trip so Rita can write her deadline for her column in the Gazette, but doesn't want the family to interact with the Casagrandes]
Okay, kids, listen up. This is the last stop of our summer road trip and we like to enjoy the other day getting packed. [goes over her notepad] Lunch at Goddess Greens, Great Lakes City Tower, and a concert series in the park.
Sweet! When do we need to see the Casagrandes? I can't wait for myself to tell Ronnie Anne about our favorite trips.
Lori
[answers her phone as it starts to ring; excitedly] Hey, Boo-Boo Bear! Guess where I am?
[swipes Lori's phone out of her hand] Literally Mount Rushmore! [imitates signal breaking] Losing reception, babe! Call you later!
Lori
Mom, what was that?!
Um… We do love to visit the Casagrandes. But my last travel piece for the Gazette is due tonight, and we need to hit all of these places. There's just no time to stop by.
Yeah, if we want to get everything on your Mom's list done, they can't remember we're here. We'll just visit them another time, okay, kiddos?
I guess so. Plus, I don't wanna miss that concert.
And I want a glamor shot from the top of the GLC Tower, looking down at all of the other little people.
Lori
[unsure] I don't know, you folks. I feel weird about this.
[As the Louds get a view of the city while visiting the Great Lakes City Tower, Carl and Sergio show up there, too, and try to block the elevator]
[in his El Falcón costume while Sergio and his pigeon friends eat a pretzel] Ah, man! You guys got a whole pretzel?! All I nabbed was some peanuts. [drops the peanuts to the ground and annoyingly pretends to eat them, pigeon-style]
Lori
[gasps] Carl, too?! They're right by the elevator! How are we just going to get out of here?!
[Lynn spots a window cleaner exiting the platform with his supplies, walking past them; gets an idea; The Louds are all now on the platform holding on to each other a few seconds later]
By my rough calculations, factoring in our combined weight and this platform's capacity, I'm afraid we're… [gasps]
[One of the ropes on the right side snaps, trying to cause it, and the Louds, to slant]
[completes the sentence] Maniacs.
[The Louds are watching a jazz band finishing their performance at the GLC park]
[throws up horns to them] You rock! I mean, you jazz. Y-You get what I'm saying!
Well, we did it. We saw everything we needed to see for my article.
Ah, that's a relief. For a second there, I didn't think we'd be able to avoid the Casagrandes.
Lori
[sees Hector and Bobby playing their duet on stage; gasps in shock] Is that… Hector and Bobby?!
[whispering] Let's move, people!
[The Louds try to make a run for it, but they see Frida, Rosa, Carlitos, and Carlos having a tamale picnic, and make a U-turn, but also see Carl and CJ playing frisbee]
[As the Louds head back to Camperzilla after escaping the park, they see Carlota approaching them on one side while on her phone, and Ronnie Anne approaching them on the opposite while riding her skateboard, and run across the street]
[The family quickly enter a building and all sigh in relief]
[seeing what the building looks like as the family have been here before] Why does this place look familiar?
[They turn to look outside and see that they entered the Casagrandes apartment building]
Lori
Uh, 'cause this is literally the Casagrandes building!
LLynn
[groans annoyingly and pushes Lincoln] Great move, Stinkoln! Worth a rebellion to beeft!
