Lala Loud House: Driving Miss Hazy/Transcript

Transcript
Ace: "Come on, Jewel! This is a lot of laundry! I don't think it's worth it."

[Ace is carrying a huge load of Jewel's laundry and Jewel is holding the keys to the family van.]

Jewel: "Do you want a ride to the comic book store or not?"

Ace: [sighs] "Fine." [prepares to leave but Jewel stops him.]

Jewel: "Whoa whoa whoa! Where are you going? Those are just my jeggings. Let me get the rest." [tosses remainders into pile] "Wore that yesterday...wore that Tuesday...whoops! That definitely needs to be washed!"

[the pile falls on top of Ace and he pulls it off; insert an image of Jewel's driver's license.]

Ace: [to the viewers] "Jewel's the only Loud kid with a driver's license. Which means that, in this house..." [gets one of Jewel's socks tossed on his face] "...there's no such thing as a free ride."

[enter Specs with a piece of paper.]

Specs: "In exchange for transporting me to the planetarium, I've done your calculus homework. Next time, I would appreciate a challenge."

[Scraps appears out of nowhere and scares everyone, making Ace lose the load.]

Scraps: "Thanks for the ride to the cemetery. I finished your poem for your ten week anniversary. It's called "Wacky"."

Jewel: "Let's hear it."

Scraps: [clears throat] "Wacky, I thought you were a stalker / When you left brownies in my locker / Wacky-"

[Enter Scribbles interrupting Scraps' poem.]

Scribbles: "Hey, big sis!" [holding Jewel's retainer] "I found your missing retainer in the garbage, and there was some perfectly good gum stuck to it!"

[blows a bubble showing she's been chewing it.]

Jewel: "So, where do you need a ride to?"

Scribbles: "Ride? I just like digging in the trash."

Jewel: [content with their services; picks up her homework, poem, and retainer in order.] "Thank you, thank you, and thank...ew! See, Ace?[Holds her sisters] These guys respect our arrangement. Oh, and here are my dirty gym clothes, too." [piles it on the laundry pile, stacking it up high.]

[Ace smells the horrible stench and a foghorn sound effect plays to accompany it.]

Jewel: "And don't forget, I like the lavender scented dryer sheets." [closes door]

[Ace heads off to the laundry room; at the same time, Alice is coming in with a hammer, nails, and boards; they bump into each other and make a mess.]

Ace: [with Alice's shades on his face] "Sorry, Alice!" [Alice's hammer drops on his foot] "Yeowch!" [groans in pain] "What are you doing with all this stuff?"

Alice: "I need a ride to the mall, so Jewel told me to make her bed, which is weird, cause I'm pretty sure she already has one."

Ace: "Wait. Why are you doing chores for Jewel? Aren't you old enough to drive yourself to the mall?"

Alice: "Yeah, but I failed the driving test 12 times. Everyone's given up on teaching me. Dad's still mad about the Fire Hydrant Paperboy Nun Incident."

[flashback to said incident; Alice had crashed the van into a tree and set a fire hydrant to spring a leak with a nun screaming at the top of her lungs in a panic and a paper boy is hanging by a branch.]

Alice: "Should I leave a note?"

[Prince is sobbing over his daughter's failure; end of flashback.]

Ace: "What if I teach you to drive?"

Alice: [excited] "Wow! You have your license?"

Ace: "Well, no, but I do have a crazy high score on...Total Turbo XXII, the world's awesomest racing video game!"

Alice: [eager] "FUN!" [worried] "Wait. Are there nuns in it?"

Ace: "Nun that I know of!" [chuckles; turns to viewers] "If I can help Alice get her license, she'll drive us anywhere! And Jewel will have to wash her own jeggings."

[Ace puts the game into the console and gives Alice the steering wheel controller.]

Alice: "Wow! It's just like a real spinny thingy!"

Ace: "Technically, it's called a steering wheel. So, you ready to get started?"

Alice: "WAIT! I need my special driving outfit!" [changes into her special driving outfit and makes a couple of poses.]

Ace: "Great. So, can we get sta-"

Alice: "WAIT! I need my special driving smoothie!" [makes a smoothie and takes a sip.] "It's a soy pumpkin cookie crumble cream. It's seasonal!"

Ace: "Great. So, now can we-"

Alice: "WAIT!"

Ace: [exasperated] "What is it now?"

Alice: "Aren't you gonna open the door for me?" [takes another sip of her smoothie.]

Ace: [sighs and pretends to open a car door with the sofa as the car.] "Click! Creak!"

Alice: "What a gentleman." [sits down]

[The game starts and Alice's image is the player.]

Ace: "Okay, all you have to do is keep the steering wheel straight, and you'll-"

[As soon as Alice starts playing, she crashes into the wall and the game is over.]

Alice: "Like that?"

Ace: "Um...let's try again."

[Alice chooses to continue]

Ace: "Just keep the wheel straight."

[Alice crashes again]

Ace: "Okay, one more time."

[Alice continues]

Ace: "The road is straight, so keep the wheel straight."

[Alice crashes again and her virtual self jumps out of the car and it explodes, resulting in yet another game over.]

Ace: [irritated by his sister's incompetence] "Alice! You have to stay on the road!"

Alice: [tosses controller in frustration]"But, what's the point? We're not going anywhere fun!"

Ace: "Sure we are! We're going to, uh...the mall!"

Alice: [gasps and takes controller back] "Why didn't you say so?"

Game announcer: "GAME ON!"

[This time, Alice plays the game like a pro with words of praise such as "Good!", "Holy Cow!" and "Dang, Girl!" appear on-screen.]

Ace: "Wow! Go, Alice!"

Alice: [her player stuck behind a Sunday driver.] "Move it, slowpoke! Mama needs a new driving dress!" [drives off a billboard and moves ahead; gets to the mall at the end of the level and beats Ace's high score.]

Ace: [amazed[ "That was incredible!"

Alice: [has her virtual self punch an old lady.] "Outta my way, granny!"

Ace: "Easy there, Fast and Furious." [takes away the controller]

Alice: "BUT I HAVE TO GET TO THE MALL!"

Ace: "The mall can wait. You've got a driving test to pass."[Alice grins and heads out the door.] "Go, Alice, go! Go, Alice, go!" [notices Alice went in the wrong direction.] "Wait! The bus stop is that way!" [Alice turns around and heads the other way.] "Go, Alice, go! Go, Alice, go!"

[Ace is pacing around waiting for Alice to get home; Alice opens the door.]

Ace: "Did you pass?"

[Unfortunately, a cop is right behind Alice to give some bad news.]

Cop: "No, she did not! She did, however, refuse to obey the speed limit, fail to use her turn signals, and she redirected the test vehicle toward the mall, where she proceeded to hip-check and tackle Candy Broomsticks!"

[The citations are labeled "Crazy Mall Chick", "Incident Report", "Forgot the speed limit", "What are "blinky blinks"??", "Hijacked test vehicle", "Assaulted Instructor Jelinski", and "NOTE: Culprit is dangerous"; Candy is in the police car yelling at Alice for her maniacal driving.]

Alice: "It's not fair! When I did all that in the game, I won! You guys need to get your rules straight!" [heads upstairs]

[The police car leaves and Ace sighs in disappointment.]

Jewel: [having heard everything] "Ace, Ace, Ace. That's your plan? Teaching Alice to drive? She can't even drive a lawnmower."

[flashback to when Alice tried mowing the lawn.]

Alice: [panicking] "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! MAKE IT STOP! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

[drives the mower through the hedges; end of flashback.]

Jewel: "Trust me. You're gonna fail. You and Alice both. Now, where's Whistle? She owes me a pedicure." [looks for Whistle]

Ace: "This isn't over yet." [shakes fist]

[Jewel and Alice's room; Alice has gone back to literally making Jewel's bed.]

Ace: "Hey, Alice." [amazed at how she's doing] "What are you doing?"

Alice: "Going back to making Jewel's bed."

Ace: "Nice craftsmanship. But you can't give up on driving. It was my fault you didn't pass the test."

Alice: "Maybe I'm just not meant to be behind the spinny thingy. You know?"

Ace: "No. See, my video game approach was all wrong. Let me try a different method." [holds up an instruction manual.]

[Ace has set up a pretend car test for Alice to practice on.]

Ace: "Okay, lesson one: preparing to drive."

[enter Whistle with a sanding tool.]

Whistle: "Ah, you're teaching Alice to drive? Score! Can I help? I'm sick of sanding Jewel's calluses! Ugh, barf!" [tosses tool away]

Ace: "Thanks, Whistle!"

Scraps: [out of nowhere] "Me too." [Ace and Alice scream at their sister's appearance.] "I can't write another poem for Wacky. I've run out of words that rhyme with 'babe'".

Ace: [chuckles nervously] "Thanks, Scraps..."

[suddenly, all of the other sisters come in wanting to help Alice learn to drive and get out of doing tasks for Lori.]

Trinket: "I can help!"

Storm E.: "I'll help! I'll help!"

Peanut: [takes off her gag glasses] "Me, too! I wanna help!"

Scribbles: "Me me me me!"

Specs: "I can be of assistance."

Ace: "Alright guys, we need to set it up like a real car." [They gather up some of their things and do as Ace told them.] "Thanks, guys! Storm E.'s bass drum is the brake. And Peanut's whoopee cushion is the accelerator." [puts foot on them to demonstrate their uses.]

Peanut: "Accelerator? Don't you mean gas?" [chuckles] "Get it?"

Ace: "This golf club's the gear shift. The wreath is the steering wheel. Car horn, turn signal, and...oh! These keys..." [grabs Blanket's baby toy keys] "...are, well...the keys. Got all that?"

[the others smile in hope]

Alice: [obviously confused] "Sure."

Others: "GREAT!"

Ace: "Okay, first, fasten your seat belt."

[Trinket puts some of her beauty pageant sashes on them to simulate the seat belts.]

Alice: "That was easy."

Ace: "Next, check your mirrors."

Alice: [panicking] "Why? Do I look bad?"

Ace: "No, no, no, no. I meant-"

Alice: [runs off] "Stop the car! I can't drive in this hideous condition!"

[everyone else groans; Alice comes back now wearing a helmet.]

Alice: "That's better."

[everyone stares awkwardly at her.]

Ace: [sighs] "Lesson 12: Avoiding road hazards. There's a squirrel in the road. What do you do?"

[Blanket walks in dressed in a squirrel costume and makes squirrel chatter sounds; Alice gets out of her side and screams in horror. Ace throws the manual on the floor in frustration; eventually, it seems hopeless as the others seem to have already given up.]

Ace: "Use your turn signal!" [Alice taps Storm E.'s drum] "No, that's the brake!" [Alice taps Peanut's whoopee cushion] "No, that's the gas!" [Alice slaps him] "No, that's my face!" [points to ladle] "This! This is the turn signal!"

Alice: "Oh! You mean the blinky blink?"

Ace: [discombobulated] "The... blinky blink?"

Alice: "Yeah. It's right by the spinny thingy." [points to wreath]

Ace: "The spinny..." [realizes] "That's the problem! I haven't been speaking Alice!"

Alice: "There's a country named after me?"

Ace: "No. I mean, I haven't been using words you understand. Let me try again. Use the blinky blink." [Alice nods with a rattle sound effect and flips the blinky blink.] "Good. Now turn left." [Alice doesn't know] "I mean, turn to your good side." [Alice gets it and turns to her good side.] "Now we're getting somewhere! Hey, crew, we're gonna need some new car parts." [The others salute and get to work; they replace Storm E.'s bass drum with a white high heel shoe.]

Ace: "This is a break pedal. What does the break pedal do?"[Alice doesn't know] "White shoes after Labor Day!"

Alice: "Ew, stop!"

Ace: "Exactly."

Peanut: [takes back her whoopee cushion] "I gas you won't be needing this."

[Giggles and skips away.]

[Trinket scowls painfully at Peanut's pun and hands Ace a Go-Go boot.]

Ace: "This is the gas pedal. What does the gas pedal do?" [Alice doesn't know] "Boots from the 60's."

Alice: "Go-Go!"

Ace: "Yes! Alice, I think you're ready for the next level!"

[Alice is practicing on her old enemy, the lawnmower.]

Ace: "Remember what we practiced, Alice!"

Alice: "Go-go boot!" [accelerates] "White shoe!" [stops for a squirrel to pass] "Go-go boot!" [accelerates; heading for the hedges.]

Siblings: [worried what might happen] "Whoa! Watch out!"

Alice: "Good side!" [turns left in the nick of time.]

[Everyone starts cheering for her.]

Ace: "She's doing it! Yeah, nice job, Alice!"

Alice: "I'm doing it!"

[Meanwhile, Jewel has to do her laundry herself.]

Jewel: "Stupid jeggings!" [pulls them through the door only for them to fall on top of her.] "Where is everybody? WHISTLE! I'M STILL WAITING ON THAT PEDICURE!" [suddenly hears the others cheering outside and finds out that Alice has improved so much that she can now sign her name on the lawn.] "I'm not giving up the car keys that easily."

[It's time to go to bed.]

Ace: "Night, Alice! You're gonna do great tomorrow!" [leaves]

Alice: "Night, Ace! Night, Jewel!"

[Jewel is fast asleep; Alice shrugs and puts on her sleeping mask and reaches for the lamp switch.]

Jewel: "Click."

Alice: "Got it!" [goes to sleep]

[Jewel was only pretending to sleep; she slips a fake driving instruction tape over Alice's ears to ensure that she will remain the only kid in the family with a driver's license and Alice will be doomed to fail.]

Recording: "Never check your mirrors. Always comment on your driving instructor's weight. In America, we drive on the left side of the road."

[Jewel goes back to bed with a sinister grin on her face with Alice being none the wiser.]

[The next day, Ace is waiting for Alice to get back from her driving test, unaware of what happened last night.]

Jewel: [with her load of jeggings] "Ah! There you are! Don't you need a ride to the comic book store? And lavender sheets. Don't forget." [hands him her jeggings]

Ace: "No, thanks." [hands jeggings back] "I think I'll wait for Alice to get back from taking her driving test, with her new license."

Jewel: "Pssht. She's not gonna pass. Now, get to washing." [passes jeggings]

Ace: [passes back] "Actually, I'm pretty sure she will pass."

Jewel: "No she won't. Because I made sure of it."

Ace: [shocked at what Lori just said] "Wait. What?"

Jewel: "Nothing!"

Ace: "Oh, no, you don't!" [grabs a sweater with a wolf howling at the full moon] "So help me, Jewel, I will shrink your favorite Wacky sweater in the dryer if you don't tell me what you-"

Jewel: [admitting defeat] "STOP! FINE!" [grabs sweater and puts it on] "I might have sabotaged Alice by giving her bad driving instructions while she slept, but it's just because if Alice can drive, my room will never be clean and no one will ever need me for anything ever again!" [Raises her voice pitch near the end.]

Ace: "Are you crazy, woman?! What if your bad driving instructions make Alice crash? What if she gets hurt?"

Jewel: "I didn't think of that..."

Ace: "We gotta get to the DMV!"

[Jewel busts out the keys.]

Ace: "It was really nice of you to help Leni practice for her next test."

Jewel: [a little shaken] "It's the least I could do."

[Alice has driven the van into a swimming pool, having forgotten all she learned from Ace's training.]

Alice: "Is this the carpool lane?"
