Dog with a Blog (2012) s03e16 Episode Script
You're Not My Sister Anymore
Synced and corrected By Katniss Everdeen Well, I better head out.
I don't want to be late for the competition.
Not just any competition, Son.
The BMX regional finals.
Three days of grueling bike on boke action.
I read your poster, and I think there's a typo.
You know, regional finalists run in the family.
My great-great-grandfather Elwood Steincrotch was a regional finalist in The Great Snake Oil Selling Contest of 1892.
Swindled over 300 people in 90 minutes.
And that's why they say "Never trust a Steincrotch.
" Tyler, the point is we are very proud of you.
You've worked really hard and it's all paid off.
I know you're gonna do great, but just to seal it, I want you to have this.
This mixtape is good luck, Tyler.
I was listening to it when Luke Mandell called and asked me to the prom.
True, he thought he was calling Ellen Jenkins and not Ellen Jennings.
But then I told him I was Ellen Jenkins.
Never trust a Steincrotch.
Mom, I'm not going to the prom with Luke Mandell.
I don't blame you.
I hear he let himself go.
Look, I got to get going.
I don't want to be late for the competition and leave my friends waiting.
Good luck, Tyler.
We're so proud of you.
Don't drink the hotel tap water, it's not clean.
And don't drink the bottled water, it's too expensive.
But drink lots of water.
It's good for you.
So, thank you for choosing me over Luke Mandell.
Well, thank you for keeping it tight.
Wow, those three days went by really fast.
So did you enjoy the prom? I didn't go to the prom.
(Gasps) Luke stood you up? Come on, I'll go to the prom with you.
I don't care what people might think.
We'll walk into that gym and slow dance right in front of that jerk.
Stan, I'm home because I didn't qualify for the BMX competition.
I goofed off and I didn't work hard enough.
I let everyone down.
I can't even show my face around my teammates.
And I really can't let Mom and Dad know.
So what are you going to do? Hide in my room and watch cartoons on my phone under the covers for the next three days so Mom and Dad keep thinking I'm a grown up.
Bennett: Well, what did the exterminator say? Three days is the perfect amount of time to flea bomb Tyler's room.
Bennett: All right, we just need to make sure no one goes in there.
Yeah.
We'll have to "flea" the premises.
You know, "bug" out.
Good one, Ellen, good one, Ellen.
That was a one-two pun ch.
I may have a problem.
Stan, if I can't hide in my room, where am I gonna go? How about to the vet? 'Cause one of us has fleas.
Giving Tyler that good advice about going to the vet made me think.
Now that I have my kids full time, I need to start teaching them stuff, too.
And I'm not the only new parent around here.
Right, Robert? They are so adorable.
Are you setting up a college fund for them? Well, when were you going to think about it, Robert? Hey, Avery, I need your advice.
Yeah? My friend Jules said we weren't friends anymore.
Then after recess, she said we were best friends again.
It's the third time she's done this.
Can't a girl monkey-bar it up without all the drama? Chloe, life is way too short to have a best friend to makes you feel bad.
That's not what friendship should be.
See, Avery, this is why I come to you for advice.
You always take care of me.
Like the time I accidentally broke the lamp in Mommy and Daddy's bedroom.
When did that happen? Bennett: Chloe? So, how do I play this? So this is where you're gonna hide from your parents for three days? It's not so bad.
I made a nest from my clothes.
Chloe's tea set is down here.
Ooh, fake tea.
Ah, fake hot, fake hot! So, what did you bring me? Apple cores, banana peels, and coffee grounds.
This is garbage.
I can't eat this.
Well, not with that attitude.
Why couldn't you've brought me something from the fridge? 'Cause I can't open the dang door.
It's my one weakness.
But I'm on a mission to teach my kids stuff.
Maybe it's time they learned the lesson of persistence.
So I rigged this to open the refrigerator door.
Once you learn how to use block and tackle equipment, you can do anything.
Okay, I may need to learn how to use block and tackle equipment.
Thanks for coming with me to break up with Jules.
I want to be here for you.
That's what big sisters are for.
Plus, I have the core temperature of a lizard, and this gives me the chance to sun myself on a rock.
I'm kidding.
I'm just a slender mammal who chills easily.
Chloe: There she is.
All right, Just remember, be firm and don't back down.
Go.
Hey.
Stan: O-M-Gosh, that's Dax, the boy Avery has a crazy crush on.
Don't take my word for it.
Look, what happened a couple of days ago.
Wow, Avery, you are really into those cookies.
No, I am really into the boy who works at the cookie kiosk at the mall.
To see him, I buy cookies now and then.
I really like to see him.
His name is (Sighs) Dax.
So what's (Sighs) Dax like? Do you guys have a lot in common? Do you share the same interests? I have no clue.
All I know is I'm a teenage girl and he's stupid-hot.
I know you.
I'm not sweating.
I mean "hey.
" You're by far my best and hungriest customer.
Nom-nom-nom.
I also do celery.
Crunch-crunch-crunch.
It's cool our sisters are such good friends.
I bet your mother would love me, too What? No, I just mean I'm the type of girl whole families love Huh? So I guess we can hang out and get to know each other while they're playing.
This is my chance with (Sighs) Dax.
I can't let Chloe blow it for me.
Excuse me.
Just one second.
There's something really difficult I need to talk to you about! (Crash) Sorry, tripped.
Anyway, before you say something that you can't take back, I may have been a Dax hunky.
I mean a tad hasty.
Okay.
People can change.
The point is, you and Jules should stay best friends forever.
Okay, Avery, if that's really what you think.
Yes, I really think Dax.
I mean, I really think that.
I guess I just kissed his face.
I mean, spoke too soon.
How did I even get there from that? Now run along and have fun with Jules.
I'll find some way to keep myself occupied.
And then the bell goes off and you take 'em out of the oven.
But first you put on the oven mitt.
I bet you only make that mistake once.
Why? I don't know.
Can I put my finger in your dimple? Why does everyone ask me that? Let's go home.
I don't want to be friends with Chloe anymore.
Oh, no, she's doing it to Chloe again.
Why did I push Chloe to stay friends with this kid? No guy is worth that, even if he does look like he was forged in a lightning storm by Hephaestus's Hammer.
What's so funny? Oh, I just thought of a joke you'd never get.
Hilarious.
Well, I guess Chloe and I should get going.
It's too bad they aren't friends anymore, because I wanted to sketch you.
I'm kind of an artist.
You're an artist? I'm an artist, too.
And I'm not just saying that to make you love me back.
I mean, love me back.
Don't you just love me back? Yeah, it's a nice back.
You really think so? Too bad I got to take my sister home.
Maybe not yet.
Give me a sec.
Hey, Jules, how about this time you stay best friends with Chloe? Maybe.
That's a really pretty bracelet.
It would look so nice on my wrist.
How can something so evil have a brother that's so cute? I'm back.
So the mailman needed a signature for the package so he rang the doorbell.
Bing-dong! And I was like Hang on.
Did you just say "bing dong"? Yeah, you know, the sound a doorbell makes.
Where was I? Anyway, so the mailman was Honey, doorbells go "ding dong.
" Not "bing dong.
" Whatever.
I've always heard bing dong.
Anyway, so the mailman was Who says "bing dong?" I mean, name one person.
I don't know, I think I've heard you say it.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
I would never say "bing dong.
" Relax.
You know the old expression, You say tomato, I say potato.
That is not an expression! Oh, Bennett, put a rock in it.
Baked? Both: Fish sticks, fish sticks Glitter and boys If you like these things, then make a little noise! Wha-whaaat? Hey, my sister has that bracelet.
Well, not anymore.
Your sister gave it to me so I stay friends with you.
Do you even like fish sticks, glitter, and boys, or is it all a filthy lie? I'm so glad our sisters made up.
Me, too.
And I've finished my sketch of you.
See? 'Cause you're a girl, and you like cookies.
Now draw yourself as milk, and dunk me.
I'm kidding.
Unless you want to.
Avery, did you give Jules your bracelet so she would stay friends with me? Excuse me.
I'm so sorry, Chloe.
But in my defense Hey, look how shiny I am.
Avery, you did this to me for a boy? You're worse than Jules.
You're not my sister anymore! If you throw in that necklace, I'll be your sister.
Now, as family dogs, part of our job is to help our people.
And they'll be coming to you with all kinds of problems, 'cause they are a hot mess.
Stan, I'm sitting right here.
And are you a hot mess? Yes.
Chloe, I am so sorry about what happened earlier.
Please, don't be mad at me.
Of course, I'm mad at you.
I trusted you, and you lied to me and used me.
And I am so sorry.
I just got a little carried away.
One day you'll understand that liking boys can make you do dumb things.
I'll never understand.
What you did is terrible.
Chloe, we're still sisters No, I told you, you're not my sister anymore.
Now you may have noticed that Avery and Chloe had a fight.
A dog's job is to be on hand for sympathy petting.
Science tells us our fur is lined with tiny molecules called "feel-betterinos.
" Not to be confused with Phil Betterino, who has that pizza place.
You know their motto.
"It's not the best, it's Betterino!" Stan, I'm really upset about what's happening with Chloe.
This isn't a time for jokes.
Avery, if I was doing jokes, you'd be hearing me say things like "Am I right?" Or, "What's the deal with that?" Or, "I'd like to be at that meeting.
" I need to talk to Chloe.
I'd like to be at that meeting.
Now, pet the puppies, and let the "feel-betterinos" do their thing.
Stan, this is not something that Oh, my gosh, I do feel better.
Science! Oh, I've been in here so long, I think I'm starting to lose it.
But I'm holding it together, aren't I, Tennie? Why am I asking a tennis ball if I'm losing it? You have no background in clinical psychology.
I know Tyler's only been gone a day, but I do miss my little Ty-Ty.
I even miss the way he used to say, "I'm 18, stop calling me Ty-Ty.
" Maybe you should give him a call.
He'll hear his phone go "cling-cling" and he'll answer.
I know phones go "ring-ring.
" I'm not a bing-a-ling.
Who did I marry? Whom.
Oh, that you know.
Oh, no, Tennie.
It's Mom and Dad calling.
Tennie, play it cool.
Hello.
Hi, sweetie, I was just missing you so I thought I'd give you a call.
How's the competition going? Sounds real quiet there.
No, no.
There's lots of stuff going on.
There are tons of girls here.
"Oh, look, there's Tyler.
He's so cute.
" Oh, the Blue Angels are doing a fly-by.
(Imitating jet planes) Oh, look, here come the girls again.
"We were so nervous to talk to you, but the Blue Angels inspired us to take a risk.
" Be nice to those girls.
They sound homely.
Hey! So listen, your Dad wants to say hi, too.
(Mumbling) Dad? Hey, Son.
As a renowned child psychologist, I want to wish you luck.
Mom? Bye, Tyler.
Bye, Mom.
You know, if you really miss Tyler, we should drive up for the competition tomorrow and surprise him.
Oh, yeah.
Here, Avery.
I want to give this to you.
Oh, good, you're talking to me.
So you're not angry anymore? We're sisters again? I'm not angry anymore, but we're still not sisters.
So I want to give all this to you.
What is it? Chloe, I gave you this doll.
And I made you this card for your birthday.
What is going on? It's all the stuff that I saved in my special memory box from everything we've done together.
Since we're not sisters anymore, I don't want it.
All right, Chloe.
Enough.
I know that I messed up, but I've already apologized.
I'll do whatever you want to make it up to you, but you can't stay mad at me.
I said I'm not mad.
I'm just following your advice.
You told me life's too short to have a best friend that makes you feel bad.
Yeah, I was talking about Jules.
Jules was never my best friend, you were.
Ellen, come on! If we want to make it for Tyler's competition, we've got to leave now! Okay, Tennie.
We can't let them get out of this house.
You ready? Do you have the directions to Tyler's competition? I loaded them onto my phone.
Good.
Huh, that's weird.
I could've sworn I left it right here.
Relax, Mama's on the case.
I'll grab my purse from the kitchen and call your cell from mine.
I have you under husband, therapist, and keeping it tight.
What was that? Where's my purse? It was just here.
I think I saw it in my office.
Purse, purse, purse, purse, purse Wait, I already have it.
Why did I run in here? I could've sworn you left it right here.
First your phone, now my purse.
Bennett, I'm being totally serious.
Do we have a leprechaun? Let's just call my phone from the landline, huh? Okay.
(Siren blaring) Tyler? What is going on? No time to explain.
We've got a tiny fire to put out.
(Imitating siren) Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Why are you not at the competition? Actually, I never left for the competition.
I didn't qualify because I goofed off.
So I just spent the past three days hiding under the stairs.
But I heard those girls on the phone.
That was me, Mom.
And the Blue Angels? Are you kidding me? Why didn't you tell us? I was too embarrassed.
I let everyone down, especially you guys.
So what's my punishment? There is no punishment.
You're almost an adult.
You're gonna have to deal with the consequences of your own actions.
That's what being an adult is.
So I don't get any punishment at all? Well, you missed your competition, you let your teammates down.
Is this how you want to live your life? 'Cause it's up to you now.
Wow.
I really am almost an adult now, aren't I? I guess I have to take that seriously.
Thank you, guys, for showing me that.
Things are really gonna be different from now on.
Come on, fire truck.
(Siren blaring) I haven't slept much in the last few days.
What's all this? Welcome to Sister-Con.
It's like Comic-Con, but instead of all the cool stuff, it's all about sisters.
Then why are you wearing that? I'm Bat-Stan.
What does Bat-Stan have to do with sisters? This is my costume for Comic-Con.
It took me forever to make, I'm not just gonna wear it once.
And you're dressed as Chloe, right? I am Chloe.
Wow, you are really committed to cosplay.
All right, I've got it from here, Stan.
Thank you.
If you need me, just use this.
Or just call out "Bat-Stan, come here, boy.
" That works, too.
So, Chloe, I was going through the box you gave me, and it looked like a little collection of memorabilia.
So I got the idea to make this exhibition.
How long is this going to take? Well, the walking tour takes 25 minutes.
You've got five.
Okay, then.
I'll talk faster than Stan's Patrick Stewart impression on the recording.
This is my first lipstick that you gave me.
I forgot this was in my box.
Yeah.
I spent all afternoon teaching you how to use makeup.
And here's a picture of the first time you used it.
On the kitchen wall.
And here's the picture of Mom freaking out after she saw it.
You really captured her impotent rage.
Hey, I remember this.
This is the first painting you ever painted of me.
And I painted you exactly how you told me to.
I'm glad you talked me out of the saxophone.
Too much.
This is the macaroni necklace I made you when I was six.
This wasn't in my memory box.
No.
It was in my memory box.
Avery, you have one, too? Of course.
You're not the only one who treasures our memories.
I know that I messed up, but look around.
We have so many good memories together.
And I hope that I can have my best friend and sister back to fill this new box I made with new memories.
This will be our first new memory.
I love you, Chloe.
I love you too, Avery.
You will always be my sister.
(In masculine voice) I mean, "aah.
" Stan, I never thanked you for helping me set this all up.
And you'll never have to.
Actually, you probably should.
I worked really hard.
We all learned a lot.
Avery learned you have a responsibility not to take your loved ones for granted.
Tyler learned you have to be responsible for your own actions.
And I learned my puppies and I have the same taste in chew toys! Look at you, Robert, bursting with pride.
Your kids are entering the family business.
"It's not the best, it's Betterino!"
I don't want to be late for the competition.
Not just any competition, Son.
The BMX regional finals.
Three days of grueling bike on boke action.
I read your poster, and I think there's a typo.
You know, regional finalists run in the family.
My great-great-grandfather Elwood Steincrotch was a regional finalist in The Great Snake Oil Selling Contest of 1892.
Swindled over 300 people in 90 minutes.
And that's why they say "Never trust a Steincrotch.
" Tyler, the point is we are very proud of you.
You've worked really hard and it's all paid off.
I know you're gonna do great, but just to seal it, I want you to have this.
This mixtape is good luck, Tyler.
I was listening to it when Luke Mandell called and asked me to the prom.
True, he thought he was calling Ellen Jenkins and not Ellen Jennings.
But then I told him I was Ellen Jenkins.
Never trust a Steincrotch.
Mom, I'm not going to the prom with Luke Mandell.
I don't blame you.
I hear he let himself go.
Look, I got to get going.
I don't want to be late for the competition and leave my friends waiting.
Good luck, Tyler.
We're so proud of you.
Don't drink the hotel tap water, it's not clean.
And don't drink the bottled water, it's too expensive.
But drink lots of water.
It's good for you.
So, thank you for choosing me over Luke Mandell.
Well, thank you for keeping it tight.
Wow, those three days went by really fast.
So did you enjoy the prom? I didn't go to the prom.
(Gasps) Luke stood you up? Come on, I'll go to the prom with you.
I don't care what people might think.
We'll walk into that gym and slow dance right in front of that jerk.
Stan, I'm home because I didn't qualify for the BMX competition.
I goofed off and I didn't work hard enough.
I let everyone down.
I can't even show my face around my teammates.
And I really can't let Mom and Dad know.
So what are you going to do? Hide in my room and watch cartoons on my phone under the covers for the next three days so Mom and Dad keep thinking I'm a grown up.
Bennett: Well, what did the exterminator say? Three days is the perfect amount of time to flea bomb Tyler's room.
Bennett: All right, we just need to make sure no one goes in there.
Yeah.
We'll have to "flea" the premises.
You know, "bug" out.
Good one, Ellen, good one, Ellen.
That was a one-two pun ch.
I may have a problem.
Stan, if I can't hide in my room, where am I gonna go? How about to the vet? 'Cause one of us has fleas.
Giving Tyler that good advice about going to the vet made me think.
Now that I have my kids full time, I need to start teaching them stuff, too.
And I'm not the only new parent around here.
Right, Robert? They are so adorable.
Are you setting up a college fund for them? Well, when were you going to think about it, Robert? Hey, Avery, I need your advice.
Yeah? My friend Jules said we weren't friends anymore.

I made a nest from my clothes.
Chloe's tea set is down here.

This is garbage.
I can't eat this.

I'm kidding.
I'm just a slender mammal who chills easily.
Chloe: There she is.
All right, Just remember, be firm and don't back down.
Go.
Hey.
Stan: O-M-Gosh, that's Dax, the boy Avery has a crazy crush on.
Don't take my word for it.
Look, what happened a couple of days ago.
Wow, Avery, you are really into those cookies.
No, I am really into the boy who works at the cookie kiosk at the mall.
To see him, I buy cookies now and then.
I really like to see him.

This is my chance with (Sighs) Dax.
I can't let Chloe blow it for me.
Excuse me.
Just one second.
There's something really difficult I need to talk to you about! (Crash) Sorry, tripped.
Anyway, before you say something that you can't take back, I may have been a Dax hunky.
I mean a tad hasty.
Okay.
People can change.
The point is, you and Jules should stay best friends forever.
Okay, Avery, if that's really what you think.
Yes, I really think Dax.
I mean, I really think that.

Why? I don't know.
Can I put my finger in your dimple? Why does everyone ask me that? Let's go home.
I don't want to be friends with Chloe anymore.
Oh, no, she's doing it to Chloe again.
Why did I push Chloe to stay friends with this kid? No guy is worth that, even if he does look like he was forged in a lightning storm by Hephaestus's Hammer.
What's so funny? Oh, I just thought of a joke you'd never get.
Hilarious.
Well, I guess Chloe and I should get going.
It's too bad they aren't friends anymore, because I wanted to sketch you.
I'm kind of an artist.
You're an artist? I'm an artist, too.
And I'm not just saying that to make you love me back.
I mean, love me back.
Don't you just love me back? Yeah, it's a nice back.
You really think so? Too bad I got to take my sister home.
Maybe not yet.
Give me a sec.
Hey, Jules, how about this time you stay best friends with Chloe? Maybe.
That's a really pretty bracelet.
It would look so nice on my wrist.
How can something so evil have a brother that's so cute? I'm back.

You're not my sister anymore! If you throw in that necklace, I'll be your sister.
Now, as family dogs, part of our job is to help our people.
And they'll be coming to you with all kinds of problems, 'cause they are a hot mess.
Stan, I'm sitting right here.
And are you a hot mess? Yes.
Chloe, I am so sorry about what happened earlier.
Please, don't be mad at me.
Of course, I'm mad at you.
I trusted you, and you lied to me and used me.
And I am so sorry.
I just got a little carried away.
One day you'll understand that liking boys can make you do dumb things.
I'll never understand.
What you did is terrible.
Chloe, we're still sisters No, I told you, you're not my sister anymore.
Now you may have noticed that Avery and Chloe had a fight.
A dog's job is to be on hand for sympathy petting.
Science tells us our fur is lined with tiny molecules called "feel-betterinos.

Now, pet the puppies, and let the "feel-betterinos" do their thing.
Stan, this is not something that Oh, my gosh, I do feel better.
Science! Oh, I've been in here so long, I think I'm starting to lose it.
But I'm holding it together, aren't I, Tennie? Why am I asking a tennis ball if I'm losing it? You have no background in clinical psychology.
I know Tyler's only been gone a day, but I do miss my little Ty-Ty.
I even miss the way he used to say, "I'm 18, stop calling me Ty-Ty.
" Maybe you should give him a call.
He'll hear his phone go "cling-cling" and he'll answer.
I know phones go "ring-ring.
" I'm not a bing-a-ling.
Who did I marry? Whom.
Oh, that you know.
Oh, no, Tennie.
It's Mom and Dad calling.
Tennie, play it cool.
Hello.
Hi, sweetie, I was just missing you so I thought I'd give you a call.
How's the competition going? Sounds real quiet there.
No, no.
There's lots of stuff going on.
There are tons of girls here.
"Oh, look, there's Tyler.
He's so cute.
" Oh, the Blue Angels are doing a fly-by.
(Imitating jet planes) Oh, look, here come the girls again.
"We were so nervous to talk to you, but the Blue Angels inspired us to take a risk.
" Be nice to those girls.
They sound homely.
Hey! So listen, your Dad wants to say hi, too.
(Mumbling) Dad? Hey, Son.
As a renowned child psychologist, I want to wish you luck.
Mom? Bye, Tyler.
Bye, Mom.
You know, if you really miss Tyler, we should drive up for the competition tomorrow and surprise him.
Oh, yeah.
Here, Avery.
I want to give this to you.
Oh, good, you're talking to me.
So you're not angry anymore? We're sisters again? I'm not angry anymore, but we're still not sisters.
So I want to give all this to you.
What is it? Chloe, I gave you this doll.
And I made you this card for your birthday.
What is going on? It's all the stuff that I saved in my special memory box from everything we've done together.
Since we're not sisters anymore, I don't want it.
All right, Chloe.
Enough.
I know that I messed up, but I've already apologized.
I'll do whatever you want to make it up to you, but you can't stay mad at me.
I said I'm not mad.
I'm just following your advice.
You told me life's too short to have a best friend that makes you feel bad.
Yeah, I was talking about Jules.
Jules was never my best friend, you were.
Ellen, come on! If we want to make it for Tyler's competition, we've got to leave now! Okay, Tennie.
We can't let them get out of this house.
You ready? Do you have the directions to Tyler's competition? I loaded them onto my phone.
Good.
Huh, that's weird.
I could've sworn I left it right here.
Relax, Mama's on the case.
I'll grab my purse from the kitchen and call your cell from mine.
I have you under husband, therapist, and keeping it tight.
What was that? Where's my purse? It was just here.
I think I saw it in my office.
Purse, purse, purse, purse, purse Wait, I already have it.
Why did I run in here? I could've sworn you left it right here.
First your phone, now my purse.
Bennett, I'm being totally serious.
Do we have a leprechaun? Let's just call my phone from the landline, huh? Okay.
(Siren blaring) Tyler? What is going on? No time to explain.
We've got a tiny fire to put out.
(Imitating siren) Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Why are you not at the competition? Actually, I never left for the competition.
I didn't qualify because I goofed off.
So I just spent the past three days hiding under the stairs.
But I heard those girls on the phone.
That was me, Mom.
And the Blue Angels? Are you kidding me? Why didn't you tell us? I was too embarrassed.
I let everyone down, especially you guys.
So what's my punishment? There is no punishment.
You're almost an adult.
You're gonna have to deal with the consequences of your own actions.
That's what being an adult is.
So I don't get any punishment at all? Well, you missed your competition, you let your teammates down.
Is this how you want to live your life? 'Cause it's up to you now.
Wow.
I really am almost an adult now, aren't I? I guess I have to take that seriously.
Thank you, guys, for showing me that.
Things are really gonna be different from now on.
Come on, fire truck.
(Siren blaring) I haven't slept much in the last few days.
What's all this? Welcome to Sister-Con.
It's like Comic-Con, but instead of all the cool stuff, it's all about sisters.
Then why are you wearing that? I'm Bat-Stan.
What does Bat-Stan have to do with sisters? This is my costume for Comic-Con.
It took me forever to make, I'm not just gonna wear it once.
And you're dressed as Chloe, right? I am Chloe.
Wow, you are really committed to cosplay.
All right, I've got it from here, Stan.
Thank you.
If you need me, just use this.
Or just call out "Bat-Stan, come here, boy.
" That works, too.
So, Chloe, I was going through the box you gave me, and it looked like a little collection of memorabilia.
So I got the idea to make this exhibition.
How long is this going to take? Well, the walking tour takes 25 minutes.
You've got five.
Okay, then.
I'll talk faster than Stan's Patrick Stewart impression on the recording.
This is my first lipstick that you gave me.
I forgot this was in my box.
Yeah.
I spent all afternoon teaching you how to use makeup.
And here's a picture of the first time you used it.
On the kitchen wall.
And here's the picture of Mom freaking out after she saw it.
You really captured her impotent rage.
Hey, I remember this.
This is the first painting you ever painted of me.
And I painted you exactly how you told me to.
I'm glad you talked me out of the saxophone.
Too much.
This is the macaroni necklace I made you when I was six.
This wasn't in my memory box.
No.
It was in my memory box.
Avery, you have one, too? Of course.
You're not the only one who treasures our memories.
I know that I messed up, but look around.
We have so many good memories together.
And I hope that I can have my best friend and sister back to fill this new box I made with new memories.
This will be our first new memory.
I love you, Chloe.
I love you too, Avery.
You will always be my sister.
(In masculine voice) I mean, "aah.
" Stan, I never thanked you for helping me set this all up.
And you'll never have to.
Actually, you probably should.
I worked really hard.
We all learned a lot.
Avery learned you have a responsibility not to take your loved ones for granted.
Tyler learned you have to be responsible for your own actions.
And I learned my puppies and I have the same taste in chew toys! Look at you, Robert, bursting with pride.
Your kids are entering the family business.
"It's not the best, it's Betterino!"
