Special Thank for Luna and Sam 1515 for help
[The episode start with Lincoln doing Lori's laundry aand he' getting tired of it.]
Lincoln: "Come on, Lori! This is a lot of laundry! I don't think it's worth it."
[Lincoln is carrying a huge load of Lori's laundry and Lori is holding the keys to the family van.]
Lori: "Do you want a ride to the comic book store or not?"
Lincoln: [sighs] "Fine." [prepares to leave but Lori stops him.]
Lori: "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 Lincoln and he pulls it off; insert an image of Lori's driver's license.]
David: "Whoa Lincoln. Are you okay? Why are you doing Lori's laundry? Don't people have some other chorse to do like everybody else at home and Lori should do it herself?"
Lincoln: "No because Lori's the only Loud kid with a driver's license. Which means that, in this house..." [gets one of Lori's socks tossed on his face] "...there's no such thing as a free ride."
[enter Lisa with a piece of paper.]
Lisa: "In exchange for transporting me to the planetarium, I've done your calculus homework. Next time, I would appreciate a challenge."
[Lucy appears out of nowhere and scares everyone, making Lincoln lose the load.]
Lucy: "Thanks for the ride to the cemetery. I finished your poem for your ten week anniversary. It's called "Bobby"."
Lori: "Let's hear it."
Lucy: [clears throat] "Bobby, I thought you were a stalker / When you left brownies in my locker / Bobby-"
[Enter Lana interrupting Lucy's poem.]
Lana: "Hey, big sis!" [holding Lori'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.]
Lori: "So, where do you need a ride to?"
Lana: "Ride? I just like digging in the trash."
Lori: [content with their services; picks up her homework, poem, and retainer in order.] "Thank you, thank you, and thank...ew! See, Lincoln?[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.]
[Lincoln smells the horrible stench and a foghorn sound effect plays to accompany it.]
Lori: "And don't forget, I like the lavender scented dryer sheets." [closes door]
[Lincoln heads off to the laundry room; at the same time]
David: That doesn't sound good Lincoln. Lori was being lazy and no one shouldn't do that.
Lincoln: Yeah, I know.
[Leni is coming in with a hammer, nails, and boards; they bump into each other and make a mess.]
Lincoln: [with Leni's shades on his face] "Sorry, Leni!" [Leni's hammer drops on his foot] "Yeowch!" [groans in pain] "What are you doing with all this stuff?"
Leni: "I need a ride to the mall, so Lori told me to make her bed, which is weird, cause I'm pretty sure she already has one."
David: "Wait. Why are you doing chores for Lori? Aren't you old enough to drive yourself to the mall?"
Leni: "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; Leni 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.]
Leni: "Should I leave a note?"
[Lynn Sr. is sobbing over his daughter's failure; end of flashback.]
Lincoln: "What if I teach you to drive?"
Leni: [excited] "Wow! You have your license?"
Lincoln: "Well, no, but I do have a crazy high score on...Total Turbo XXII, the world's awesomest racing video game!"
Leni: [eager] "FUN!" [worried] "Wait. Are there nuns in it?"
Lincoln: "Nun that I know of!" [chuckles; turns to David] "If I can help Leni get her license, she'll drive us anywhere! And Lori will have to wash her own jeggings."
David: Good thinking.
[Lincoln puts the game into the console and gives Leni the steering wheel controller.]
Leni: "Wow! It's just like a real spinny thingy!"
Lincoln: "Technically, it's called a steering wheel. So, you ready to get started?"
Leni: "WAIT! I need my special driving outfit!" [changes into her special driving outfit and makes a couple of poses.]
Lincoln: "Great. So, can we get sta-"
Leni: "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!"
Lincoln: "Great. So, now can we-"
Leni: "WAIT!"
Lincoln: [exasperated] "What is it now?"
Leni: "Aren't you gonna open the door for me?" [takes another sip of her smoothie.]
Lincoln: [sighs and pretends to open a car door with the sofa as the car.] "Click! Creak!"
David: "What a gentleman."
[Leni sits down and t'he game starts and Leni's image is the player.]
Lincoln: "Okay, all you have to do is keep the steering wheel straight, and you'll-"
[As soon as Leni starts playing, she crashes into the wall and the game is over.]
Leni: "Like that?"
David: "Um...let's try again."
[Leni chooses to continue]
David: "Just keep the wheel straight."
[Leni crashes again]
Lincoln: "Okay, one more time."
[Leni continues]
Lincoln: "The road is straight, so keep the wheel straight."
[Leni crashes again and her virtual self jumps out of the car and it explodes, resulting in yet another game over.]
Lincoln: [irritated by his sister's incompetence] "Leni! You have to stay on the road!"
Leni: [tosses controller in frustration]"But, what's the point? We're not going anywhere fun!"
David: "Sure we are! We're going to, uh...the mall!"
Leni: [gasps and takes controller back] "Why didn't you say so?"
Game announcer: "GAME ON!"
[This time, Leni plays the game like a pro with words of praise such as "Good!", "Holy Cow!" and "Dang, Girl!" appear on-screen.]
Lincoln and David: "Wow! Go, Leni!"
Leni: [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 Lincoln and David's high score.]
Lincoln: [amazed[ "That was incredible!"
Leni: [has her virtual self punch an old lady.] "Outta my way, granny!"
David: "Easy there, Fast and Furious." [takes away the controller]
Leni: "BUT I HAVE TO GET TO THE MALL!"
Lincoln: "The mall can wait. You've got a driving test to pass."[Leni grins and heads out the door.]
David: "Go, Leni, go! Go, Leni, go!" [notices Leni went in the wrong direction.] "Wait! The bus stop is that way!" [Leni turns around and heads the other way.] "Go, Leni, go! Go, Leni, go!"
[Lincoln and David are pacing around waiting for Leni to get home; Leni opens the door.]
Lincoln: "Did you pass?"
[Unfortunately, a cop is right behind Leni 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 Mrs. Jelinsky!"
[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"; Mrs. Jelinsky is in the police car yelling at Leni for her maniacal driving.]
Leni: "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 Lincoln and David sighs in disappointment.]
Lori: [having heard everything] "Lincoln, and Bubblestone. That's your plan? Teaching Leni to drive?
David: Wait! You've been spying on us?!
Lori: She can't even drive a lawnmower."
[flashback to when Leni tried mowing the lawn.]
Leni: [panicking] "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! MAKE IT STOP! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" [drives the mower through the hedges; end of flashback.]
Lori: "Trust me. You two are gonna fail. You two and Leni both. Now, where's Lynn? She owes me a pedicure." [looks for Lynn]
Lincoln: "This isn't over yet." [shakes fist]
David Yeah!
[Lori and Leni's room; Leni has gone back to literally making Lori's bed.]
Lincoln: "Hey, Leni." [amazed at how she's doing] "What are you doing?"
Leni: "Going back to making Lori's bed."
David: "Nice craftsmanship. But you can't give up on driving. It was our fault you didn't pass the test."
Leni: "Maybe I'm just not meant to be behind the spinny thingy. You know?"
Lincoln: "No. See, my video game approach was all wrong. Let us try a different method." [holds up an instruction manual.]
[Lincoln has set up a pretend car test for Leni to practice on.]
Lincoln: "Okay, lesson one: preparing to drive."
[enter Lynn with a sanding tool.]
Lynn: "Ah, you're teaching Leni to drive? Score! Can I help? I'm sick of sanding Lori's calluses! Ugh, barf!" [tosses tool away]
David: "Thanks, Lynn!"
Lucy: [out of nowhere] "Me too." [Lincoln and Leni scream at their sister's appearance.] "I can't write another poem for Bobby. I've run out of words that rhyme with 'babe'".
Lincoln: [chuckles nervously] "Thanks, Lucy..."
[suddenly, all of the other sisters come in wanting to help Leni learn to drive and get out of doing tasks for Lori.]
Lola: "I can help!"
Luna: "I'll help! I'll help!"
Luan: [takes off her gag glasses] "Me, too! I wanna help!"
Lana: "Me me me me!"
Lisa: "I can be of assistance."
David: "Alright guys, we need to set it up like a real car." [They gather up some of their things and do as Lincoln told them.] "Thanks, guys! Luna's bass drum is the brake. And Luan's whoopee cushion is the accelerator." [puts foot on them to demonstrate their uses.]
Luan: "Accelerator? Don't you mean gas?" [chuckles] "Get it?"
Lincoln: "This golf club's the gear shift. The wreath is the steering wheel. Car horn, turn signal, and...oh! These keys..." [grabs Lily's baby toy keys] "...are, well...the keys. Got all that?"
[the others smile in hope]
Leni: [obviously confused] "Sure."
Others: "GREAT!"
Lincoln: "Okay, first, fasten your seat belt."
[Lola puts some of her beauty pageant sashes on them to simulate the seat belts.]
Leni: "That was easy."
David: "Next, check your mirrors."
Leni: [panicking] "Why? Do I look bad?"
David: "No, no, no, no. I meant-"
Leni: [runs off] "Stop the car! I can't drive in this hideous condition!"
[everyone else groans; Leni comes back now wearing a helmet.]
Leni: "That's better."
[everyone stares awkwardly at her.]
Lincoln: [sighs] "Lesson 12: Avoiding road hazards. There's a squirrel in the road. What do you do?"
[Lily walks in dressed in a squirrel costume and makes squirrel chatter sounds; Leni gets out of her side and screams in horror. Lincoln throws the manual on the floor in frustration; eventually, it seems hopeless as the others seem to have already given up.]
David: "Use your turn signal!" [Leni taps Luna's drum] "No, that's the brake!" [Leni taps Luan's whoopee cushion] "No, that's the gas!" [Leni slaps him] "No, that's my face!" [points to ladle] "This! This is the turn signal!"
Leni: "Oh! You mean the blinky blink?"
David: blinky blink and turn signal are the same thing
Leni: "Yeah. It's right by the spinny thingy." [points to wreath]
Lincoln: "The spinny..." [realizes] "That's the problem! I haven't been speaking Leni!"
Leni: "There's a country named after me?"
Lincoln: "No. I mean, I haven't been using words you understand. Let me try again. Use the blinky blink." [Leni nods with a rattle sound effect and flips the blinky blink.] "Good. Now turn left." [Leni doesn't know] "I mean, turn to your good side." [Leni 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 Luna's bass drum with a white high heel shoe.]
Lincoln: "This is a break pedal. What does the break pedal do?"[Leni doesn't know] "White shoes after Labor Day!"
Leni: "Ew, stop!"
David: "Exactly."
Luan: [takes back her whoopee cushion] "I gas you won't be needing this." [Giggles and skips away.]
[Lola scowls painfully at Luan's pun and hands Lincoln a Go-Go boot.]
David: "This is the gas pedal. What does the gas pedal do?" [Leni doesn't know] "Boots from the 60's."
Leni: "Go-Go!"
Lincoln: "Yes! Leni, I think you're ready for the next level!"
[Leni is practicing on her old enemy, the lawnmower.]
David: "Remember what we practiced, Leni!"
Leni: "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!"
Leni: "Good side!" [turns left in the nick of time.]
[Everyone starts cheering for her.]
Lincoln: "She's doing it! Yeah, nice job, Leni!"
Leni: "I'm doing it!"
Lori: "Stupid jeggings!" [pulls them through the door only for them to fall on top of her.] "Where is everybody? LYNN! I'M STILL WAITING ON THAT PEDICURE!" [suddenly hears the others cheering outside and finds out that Leni has improved so much that she can now sign her name on the lawn.] "How was that possible"
David: Eh-hem!
Lori: Yikes! David!
David: Are you spying on us again?
Lori: What are you talking about?
David: Don't you lie to me. [grabs a sweater with a wolf howling at the full moon] "So help me, Lori, Lincoln will shrink your favorite Bobby sweater in the dryer if you don't tell me what you-"
Lori: [admitting defeat] "STOP! FINE!" [grabs sweater and puts it on] "I was spying on you guys that you teaching Leni to drive, but it's just because if Leni 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.]
David: Well, People have to do other chorse and laundry chorse was your job and forcing your siblings to the laundry for you is making you that you're lazy. [Gasped and shut his mouth]
Lori: What!
David: [admitting defeat as well] OKAY OKAY! I was hiding the word from you and if failed, you'll turn me into a human pretzel! [Raises his voice pitch near the end.]
Lori: [relized] No. Of course not I'm not gonna turn you into a human pretzel. You were right. I was being too lazy and my siblings are grtting tired of it. I'm sorry I was spying on you guys for making sure that Leni fails.
David: I'm sorry I shouldn't told you the truth earlier. From now on, Let's just promise to be honest. Deal?
Lori: Deal. Well, I hope Leni will pass the test tomorrow. In the meantime, I'll make the preparation for getting ready.
[David smiles and then the next morning.]
Lori: Okay, Leni. You're in the driver seat and you're ready to get that licence.
Lincoln: Wait! Did you got the apple ready?
Leni: Check.
Lincoln: Did you got the passanger ready?
David: Check!
Lincoln: Did you and David told each other the truth yesterday?
Lori: Checkity Check!
Lincoln: Now you're ready to get that licence.
Lori: Good luck! Here comes dad and remember to act nattural.
[David jump out of the van and moo like a cow.]
Lori: No David. Get in the van and help Leni pass.
David: Oh right! [Lynn Sr arrived in the back seat of the van.] Give him the apple.
Leni: Here you go father.
Lynn Sr.: Let's get this over with. [takes a deep breath]
David: What's the first thing you do?
[Lynn Sr. puts hands and arms over head for protection]
Leni: Uhh...
David: [whisper] Start the van.
[Leni pushes a button that starts the boat causing Lynn Sr. to go crazy]
Leni: Dad. Dad!
Lynn Sr.: Whoa-ho! Huh? What?
Leni: It's okay, it's only the car.
Lynn Sr.: The car? You started the car?
Leni: I... I think so.
Lynn Sr.: Oh. Well...
David: What's the second thing you do?
Leni: Uhh..
David: [whisper] Put it in drive.
Leni: Put it in drive?
Lynn Sr.: Yes, yes, yes! [Leni pushes lever down to drive] Put it in drive. Then what?
Leni: [lifts leg up] Floor it?
Lynn Sr.: No! [screams] No!
David: Freeze, ma'am! [Leni stops] [whisper] Big toe. [Leni's big toe pops out of her shoe and gently pushes the accelerator down]
Lynn Sr.: Oh, gracious. Oh, gracious! Oh-oh. Ha-ha! Ah, we haven't crashed yet.
Leni: Okay, you're coming to your first turn. [giant wall with the word wall on it is shown and a left curve]
Lynn Sr.: Oh no, the first turn. Please, tell me you know what to do at the first turn!
David: Left! [Leni turns left] Right! [Leni turns right]
Lynn Sr.: Oh! Oh my, this is splendid, Leni. You're doing fine.
[Leni smiles and a few hours later, Lincoln and Lori arrived to Leni, David, Lynn Sr.]
Lynn Sr.: Great news kids! Leni got her driver licence and now she can go anywhere!
David: Anywhere!
Lynn Sr.: And she can do anything!
David: Anything!
Lincoln: That's fantastic!
Leni: Yeah!
Lori: Leni, I'm so proud of you.
Leni: I'm proud of me too.
David: [to the viewers] Well, Lori and I learn something new yesterday before Leni's driving test. We all promised to be honest from now on while Lori can do the laundry and the other will do other chorse to do.
THE END
