"LINDA:" "♪ La, la, la ♪" "♪ Going to the accountant, gonna do our taxes ♪" "♪ At the last minute, we're adults ♪" "♪ Responsible adults, yeah!" "♪" "That's a beautiful song, Linda." "Where's it from?" "No, Teddy, we really are going to the accountant to do our taxes." "We probably shouldn't have waited until the last possible moment on the last possible day, but it is kind of our tradition." "Aw, that's true!" "So special." "I don't know why you guys need an accountant." "It's fun to do your own taxes." "No." "Mm... no." "It's fine." "Our accountant isn't that expensive, and he's really good." "Or pretty good." "He's fine." "Yeah." "We go for an hour, we pretend to laugh at his jokes." "Ugh, the jokes." "Then we're done for the year." "Why do you pretend to laugh at his jokes?" "Well, he's in charge of our money, Teddy." "We have to be nice to him." "I mean, I think he takes away a dependent every time we don't laugh." "Well, good luck with that." "I'm going down to the docks." "I'm helping out with Lobsterfest." "Ugh." "Lobsterfest." "What's wrong with Lobsterfest?" "There's too much lobster." "Yeah, that's this year's theme:" "too much lobster!" "All right, well, have fun." "You, too, going to the accountant." "Hey, Accountantfest." "Too much taxes!" "Yup." "(groans)" "Okay." "Bye, Teddy!" "TINA:" "Whoa." "Eye contact." "Did I just have significant E.C. with Joe Harrison?" "It felt like it." "That's weird." "I barely know him." "Hmm." "Look at me again." "Look at me." "Look at me." "Ugh!" "Joe, where do you think you're going?" "You have detention, young man." "(sighs) Fine." "TINA:" "Detention, huh?" "Ugh!" "Reading is dumb!" "Tina, what is going on?" "Your mom." "What?" "!" "Is dumb." "And reading is dumb." "You just earned yourself detention." "Got it." "Sorry about all that." "Well, I'm sorry, too." "Maybe you don't need detention..." "Shove it!" "Oh, okay, definitely detention." "TINA:" "Eyes on the prize, which is Joe's eyes." "LINDA:" "I can't believe" "Tina got detention." "We needed her to babysit you two." "Mom, we've been over this." "Gene and I are fine by ourselves." "You let us babysit Aunt Gayle whenever you go out of town, and she's a handful." "Mm." "I don't know." "Bob, what do you think?" "I guess." "I mean, it is just an hour, and we'll be close by." "All right, but I'm setting a lot of rules." "Don't open the door to anybody." "What if it's a guy with a gun and he really needs to pee?" "No." "And don't use the stove or knives or the bathtub or matches." "Well, then how are we gonna have a hot knife bath?" "And if anyone calls for us, say that we're home, but we're... pooping." "No, say I'm in the shower, but I look good for my age." "Guys, guys, we got it." "We'll be fine." "I'm in charge." "You don't have anything to worry about." "Well, technically, Gene's in charge." "He is?" "I am?" "Yes." "He's your big brother, Louise." "I mean, big brother?" "I think of him more as a large brother." "No offense." "Yes, offense!" "It's just, you don't really do the traditional big brother stuff." "You don't call me squirt, you aren't good at baseball, and I have to give you a piggyback ride when your legs get tired." "Just 'cause Dad's not strong enough." "Louise, Gene is older than you though, so I guess your mother has a point." "Yeah!" "I'm large and in charge." "Literally." "(laughs):" "Okay." "(quietly):" "Don't worry." "I'll keep an eye on him." "Now get out of here, you crazy kids." "Go!" "We'll be back in an hour." "Remember what I told you." "Yup." "Okay, bye bye." "Bye." "Yup." "(door opens, closes) So, forbidden snack time?" "As your king, I declare them unforbidden!" "I like how you think." "TINA:" "Moment of truth." "It's just me and Joe." "And all these other kids." "Time to figure out if lightning strikes twice." "In our eyes." "I have the perfect angle." "Don't sit down there." "No, no, no, no." "Damn it!" "Okay, okay, I can maybe still see Joe." "(groaning)" "Just a casual lean." "No big deal." "Almost there." "Almost... (gasps) I'm okay." "GERALD:" "Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba" "Ba-Ba-Belchers!" "Hey, guys." "You pumped to get these taxes done or what?" "Yup." "Love 'em." "Love taxes. (whoops)" "Cool. 'Tis the season." "That's what I always say." "♪ Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la tax. ♪" "(both laughing)" "You guys want some water or anything before we get started?" "I'll have my secretary grab some." "Just kidding." "I don't have a secretary." "(laughs)" "(chuckles) Oh." "It's very funny." "You guys want a butterscotch cookie?" "One of my clients made them for me." "They look delicioso." "Mmm." "Oh, my God, these are good!" "Bob?" "Uh, sure, I'll have one." "Ooh, I'll have one more." "Mmm." "Good." "All right, let me just pull out my tax-ophone." "And tune it up." "(imitating saxophone music)" "Okay, let's just get started, could we?" "LOUISE:" "Okay, let's make sure we're on the same page here." "We're making 17 layer dip, correct?" "Correct." "But we won't put in a 13th layer because it's bad luck." "I'm going to visit the produce drawers and look for mom's hidden bacon bits that she thinks we don't know about." "(gasps) Xanadu." "Gene." "Come." "See." "What is it?" "It's softer than the tops of Dad's legs." "Oh, I know exactly what it is." "It's a cantaloupe." "Remember when Mom put it under her shirt at the grocery store and pretended she had another boob, and then they made her buy it?" "(gasps) That was three years ago!" "We got to throw it." "Wh-What?" "We got to throw it off the fire escape into the back alley." "Yes!" "Wait, maybe no." "This seems like possibly a bad idea that could get us into trouble." "And I guess I'm in charge, so..." "Gene, don't overthink it." "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." "We've never been home alone before, and we've never found a rotten cantaloupe before." "Are you saying this is proof there's a God?" "I'm not saying it isn't." "Gene, when life hands you moldy melons, you make moldy melon-ade." "All right, let's do it." "Let's throw a melon!" "That's the spirit!" "There you go, large bro!" "TINA:" "Joe." "Joe, Joe, Joe." "I've never even thought about Joe that way before, but maybe he's been thinking about me that way all along." "Maybe today, he looked at himself in the mirror, and he said, "Today's the day that you tell Tina how you feel."" "He's probably a mess right now." "I've got to make eye contact again." "I... (groans)" "I can't see him from this position though!" "All right, time to turn my desk." "Detention is two hours." "If I move the desk an inch every five minutes," "I'll be able to see Joe's eyes in about 90 minutes." "Here goes." "FROND:" "Tina." "No moving your desk." "TINA:" "Damn it!" "I'll find another way." "Wait for me, Joe." "Okay." "I just want to verify that this year your retirement contribution was... zero." "That sounds right." "(phone rings)" "Oh, I'm sorry, I have to get that." "I sent Pamela home early today." "(laughs) Just..." "Remember?" "(laughs)" "There's nobody there." "I-I remember." "Hello." "This is Gerald." "Oh, hey, Tim." "Yeah, I've got the cookies right here." "Okay." "Under no circumstances should we eat these cookies?" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my..." "What?" "Right, but... (laughs)" "Let's just say maybe we ate some." "Mm." "I-I had two." "Uh, I-I only had one." "I had three, hello!" "Okay, well, uh, thanks for telling us." "Bye." "Gerald, what's happening?" "What's going on?" "Uh, it turns out the cookies I gave you have marijuana in them..." "a lot of it." "Oh, no." "I-I guess" "Tim made two batches of cookies." "These were for his mom." "She apparently ate hers and didn't get high, so..." "Oh, no." "No, no, no, no, no." "We can't get stoned in the middle of the day." "We're old." "We have kids!" "Oh, God." "This is bad." "Stupid cookies!" "They were good though." "Maybe I'll just have one more." "Lin, no." "Gene, we are about to make history." "And here we..." "Uh-oh." "...go!" "(distorted):" "No...!" "Aah!" "What the...?" "!" "Ugh, dude." "Oh, my God." "Is that Logan?" "(chuckles)" "Oh, wow." "Oh, wow, wow, wow." "Louise Belcher." "Hide." "Hide." "Hide." "Hide." "Hide." "Hide." "Hide." "Hide." "(laughs) Oh, you just made my day." "I wanted to work out some of this hostility" "I'm feeling all the time, which Dr. Swanson says is totally normal, but I was like, how am I gonna do that?" "Now I know." "I'm gonna clear my schedule so that I can make your lives a living hell!" "Uh, I think you forgot about that thing you have today!" "Remember that thing?" "You can't miss that thing!" "You are dead, Louise Belcher!" "(chuckles):" "Okay, look, that was an accident." "A hilarious accident that I wish I had on video." "You don't have to get all crazy-face mad about it, okay?" "Logan, come on." "Let's hit the park." "You guys go." "I'm gonna figure out how to ruin Louise's life for a while." "All right, dude." "We believe in you." "Well, we're gonna go inside and watch TV now." "Fine." "I'm just gonna go around front, ring the doorbell and tell your parents what you did." "Well, joke's on you because they aren't home." "Yeah!" "Oh, your parents aren't home?" "Interesting." "That expands my options." "Well, our boyfriend is coming over any minute and he has a Bowflex!" "I don't..." "I don't think I'm high." "Me neither." "I feel like I'm peeing." "Am I peeing right now?" "Bob, can you check?" "So, are-are our taxes, like, mostly done?" "Wow, look at all these numbers." "Oh, boy." "What are they, right?" "How do we assign value to symbols?" "I swear I'm peeing." "Bob, can someone see?" "Will you please stop?" "Stop peeing?" "No, stop saying "I'm peeing."" "Am I pretty?" "TINA:" "Okay, time to take bold action." "May I go to the restroom?" "(sighs) Fine." "But no dawdling." "TINA:" "And now for the slight head turn."

"Gene, relax." "He's down there, and we're way up here with the doors locked." "Don't tell me you're actually scared of him." "No, I'm scared of something else." "It's just a coincidence that I'm staring at a really mean high school kid who's down there doing karate on a parked car!" "All right, all right, I'll talk to him." "Excuse me." "Oh, good." "Hey, Logan, go home and take a shower." "You're smelling' of melon!" "Oh, God." "I'm never going home and I am never taking a shower until I get my revenge." "Oh, man, you're gonna be sorry, Louise." "I am sorry that I'm still talking to you." "Louise, maybe don't..." "I was thinking I'd just give you a noogie or maybe a swirly, but I've changed my mind." "Now I'm gonna give you a Reverse Norwegian Stink Hold!" "(quietly):" "Oh, man, did he just say the Reverse Norwegian Stink Hold?" "You do not want the Reverse Norwegian Stink Hold." "What?"

"Well, what's a whatever whatever Stink Hold?" "It doesn't even sound scary." "Well, it is." "When Norwegian Steven's got his opponent on the ropes, he pulls them into a headlock like this..." "Ooh."
