[to her husband after Lisa leaves the kitchen, carrying the orange vase, mistaking it for the orange juice] Have you noticed Lisa's been acting a little off this week?
[First flashback shows Lisa bumping into a side table and gets dizzy; Second flashback shows her walking and bumping into the rail at the bottom of the stairway]
Pardon me, Father. [third flashback shows her sitting on the stairs while stroking a skunk] Good boy, Cliff. Good boy.
[Zoom out to reveal Lincoln, Leni and Cliff on the opposite while reacting in horror]
LeniUh, Lisa, that's not Cliff.
[The skunk lets out a huge green gas, making them scream; end of flashbacks]
Yeah, she needs new glasses.
What the heck is going on in here?
[The Loud siblings all sigh, guilty]
LLynn
Yeah, after you guys left, we busted up the living room.
Leni
Then we tried to clean up but lost the furniture and ended up running all over town to get it back.
Hence our overactive eccrine glands, street name…
Sweatiness, we know. Look, I'm not jazzed about the cover-up, but at least you guys tried to make things right.
And this is a big family, mishaps come with the territory. It's the law of the Loud house.
Still, we're so sorry about the couch, dudes.
Maybe you should come see what's outside.
[After a long day of doing fisherman-related chores, the Loud kids sit at a campfire as Leonard plays accordion]
[The siblings do Nose Goes, and Lily is the last to react]
[sighs] Dang it. [approaches Leonard] Gramps?
[chuckles] Yes, little minnow?
Fishy stuff no fun. Bad for camp.
[stops playing] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whaddya mean?
Gramps, dude, what Lily's trying to say is that all that fisherman stuff was great, when you were a fisherman.
Leni
But it's not so great for a camp. You have to make people wanna come here.
Wait. Why are you guys all here? And why are you wearing disguises?
We saw your progress reports.
And thought you got bad grades, and you'd be kicked out of Fairway.
Leni
And become a pudding feeder!
So, we decided to take your test for you. Boy, we messed up. We're really sorry, Lori.
[holds in her anger and sighs] Well, in a weird Loud family way, it does show you care.
Leni
Okay, just remember everything we talked about last night.
Ask if the sauce is fresh, compliment his shoes, mention the latest ep of "The Dream Boat."
Leni
Perfect! [pushes him to the Spaghetti on a Stick and he sees Gavin and gasps]
Welcome to Spaghetti on a Stick! How can I help you today?
[sweating nervously as Leni nudges him; awkwardly] Uh, nice boats. Are those shoes fresh? Boy, that episode of "The Dream Sauce," huh?
[Lori returns to the Casagrande apartment with Leni in tow]
[quickly hugs her] Thank you so much for coming!
Leni
You can brief me on the way up. What are we looking at?
Silk, cotton, wool, and I was thinking… linen.
Leni
[gasps] Linen in October? Now, that's scary.
[noticing Lisa, also in tow] Lisa, what are you doing here?
None of our siblings found my musings on All-Hallows-Eve to be interesting, so they offered my 50 bucks to, and I quote, "Take my dull facts elsewhere."
Did someone say dull facts? You're speaking my language! Lisa, would you like to help me reassemble a skeleton while discussing the mythology behind this spooky holiday?
[gasps and squeals] I apologize for that amateurish display of emotion. Be right up!"
Ugh, Boo-Boo Bear, I am so ready to start our romantic Halloween celebration. Is the mercado all decorated?
Not yet. We just need to wrangle the pack of angry neighborhood cats, which means we need Lana.
[slumps in dismay] Ugh, seriously?!
It would mean a lot to me, mija.
Ugh. You know I can never say no to you, Mr. C.
[hugs her] I was counting on that.
I give up. At this point, it would take a miracle to…
Leni
Hi, Carlota!
Leni
[enters the mercado van] O-M-Gosh! I'm so sorry this is taking so long. I can't find that boutique you sent me to. GPS keeps directing me to a dumpster.
You have nothing to apologize for. There's no boutique. I sent you on a wild goose chase to get you out of the studio because I was jealous of your relationship with Mariella. [sighs sadly] I'm really sorry. I wouldn't blame you if you never spoke to me again.
Leni
O-M-Gosh.
[Carl coughs]
I messed things up so badly that we can't even do the show now. But don't worry, I'll tell Mariella it's all my fault. She'll definitely fire me, but… [sighs] I deserve it.
Leni
You know, there's still 20 minutes till the show. I think we can save it.
Wait, you still wanna work with me?
Leni
Of course. What you did wasn't very nice, but you're my friend, and I forgive you. So what do we need?
For starters: food, beverages, music, clothes…
Leni
Not a problem.
Leni
Also not a problem. I've got an idea. Go, Team CarLeni!
Leni
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]
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]
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!
Leni
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.
Leni
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.
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.
Wait! Leni, you haven't posted a pic of your lunch yet.
Leni
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?
Leni
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?
No. The other dig is telling someone they say "literally" all of the other times. Some people have suggested much to me before.
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]
Leni
And post, and post, and post!
…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?!
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]
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]
Leni
Boy, they had a lot of nerve!
They don't really realize how hurt they were being!
[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.
Leni
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!
