Adventures in Babysitting Page #6

---

You gotta rhyme!

- Rhyme?

'Rap. Jenny,

- They want you to rap.

- I can't rap. I'm a babysitter.

Just say something. Anything.

Just go. Be creative.

Huh.

Hello.

My name is Jenny Parker.

And these kids are my...

Crew?

We're in a lot of trouble

and I'm not sure what to do.

See, it all started

When our phones made a switch

Lola lied to the parents

She's been a real witch

Ooh!

Kid snuck out, the kitchen caught fire

The car got towed

All because she's a liar

Now these bad guys are chasing us

We almost just died

I got a tattoo

Can you let that one slide?

This girl is ruining my life

My job, my reputation

And if we ever get home

I'm gonna need a vacation

Yeah, tell it, girl!

But no matter what, I won't be a quitter

Gonna care for these kids

'Cause I'm the babysitter

She ain't no quitter

She's the babysitter

- She ain't no quitter

- She ain't no quitter

Go out there, Lola,

show 'em what you got.

- Yeah? She's really good though.

- You can do way better than her.

- Oh, you think so?

- Yeah.

Come on.

She's the babysitter.

She's the babysitter...

Hold up just a minute

That's not the straight scoop

This girl's so uptight

She's all tied in a loop

We got ourselves

a battle of the babysitters.

Let's rewind this movie an hour or two

The kid snuck out, I didn't have a clue

Yeah, that's true

Okay, I admit it, I don't follow rules

I'm not good with kids

I'm not good at school

It wasn't my plan to steal a car

Or end up in jail or take it this far

It's true I lied, but nobody's died

And these kids are having

An incredible ride

You think you know it all

But you don't know me

See, I'm more than just

Miss Spelling Bee

You want to be a real artist

Take pictures, get gritty

On your first night out

In the big, bad city

You're a cool girl, Jenny

But I'm pretty cool, too

Go, Lola, go, Lola!

In fact, I'm just as great

A babysitter as you

Ha!

She's right, I'm smart

And I do follow rules

I work real hard

And I care about school

There's a time for fun

To let go and climb trees

But I am a real artist

Everybody say cheese

Cheese!

- We ain't no quitters

- Yeah, y'all heard the girls!

We're the babysitters

- They ain't no quitters

- They ain't no quitters

They're the babysitters

They're the babysitters

They ain't no quitters

They're the babysitters

They ain't no quitters

They're the babysitters

They're the babysitters

We ain't no quitters

We're the babysitters

That's right.

They ain't no quitters

They're the babysitters

They're the babysitters

They ain't no quitters

There they are. Come on.

Lola, they're here. Look.

Peace out! Let's go, guys.

- Well, good night.

- Come on, kids.

Move! Aw, I hate clubs!

Out of the way.

Those are our kids. Can we just...

Stop in your tracks.

'Cause you ain't goin' nowhere

till we get the facts!

Facts?

Jenny, you were great!

- That was amazing.

- I can't believe I just did that.

See what happens

when you just let go?

The art just starts to flow.

Well, speaking of flow,

we better get going before

these guys come out, all right?

- Jenny, you were way cool.

- Thank you.

Not cool. You were radical!

It was crazy!

She didn't end world hunger, people.

Yeah, I just came on shift,

but let me check, okay?

Yeah, all right.

George, got any kids

locked up in the back, or babysitters?

None yet. We don't usually lock up

the children until after midnight.

- I'm sorry.

- Okay. Thanks.

This was mama's one night out.

Thanks, fellas.

That was really great.

I am so proud of you.

Thanks.

Hey, you should talk to Emily.

She seems pretty down.

Hey, um, I just wanted

to apologize about earlier

back at the police station.

Whatever.

Just forget it.

No, I won't forget it.

It's been an awful night,

but it's no excuse to hurt your feelings.

You're not a child.

You're an amazing, smart, cool girl.

No, I'm just a dork.

Nobody even knows I exist.

I'm just an invisible dork.

You're not invisible. You're beautiful.

And you don't need green hair or tattoos

to be noticed.

Just be your awesome self.

I promise you, it's enough.

If he doesn't see that,

then that's his loss.

Besides,

boys are dorks.

They are dorks.

Thanks, Jenny.

Um, Jenny.

There's something

I should probably tell you.

Maybe she meant

the North Park station.

- It's not that far...

- No, no, no.

Absolutely not.

Barry, I am tired, I'm cold.

My feet are numb.

Barry, why didn't you tell me

that I was wearing two different shoes?

I thought it was a fashion choice.

You called your parents?

- I'm sorry.

- She called the parents.

That's it, it's over.

Taxi.

That girl looks like Emily.

She's got green hair. You're exhausted.

Emily, you have to call them back

and tell them it was a prank.

Here, use mine.

Come on.

We'd have gotten back faster

if we walked.

Of course, we can't walk

because of my shoes.

- Finally. Maybe it's Jenny.

- Yeah, yeah, okay.

L. Perez. I don't know any L. Perez.

I'm not answering. Stop.

Hi, you've reached...

- Didn't answer.

- Great. There goes that plan.

Can't you just delete the message?

How? I don't know the code.

Mom and Dad are at the planetarium.

It's not that far from here.

Yeah, let's just sneak into the party,

find your mom's phone and delete

the message ourselves.

Ooh, sure, no problem, MacGyver.

I'll just take out the security guards

with my Taser gun, and then,

Katy here can shimmy in

through the air ducts.

I'm not dressed to shimmy.

Are you always this negative?

You can't even consider an idea

that's a little bit outside the box?

Outside of the box?

You just got outside of jail.

Now you wanna crash a gala?

Even if we could make it,

there's no chance

we'd get the money in time.

Katy's three-star party survival kit.

Mommy keeps a hundred-dollar bill

- in her fancy coat pocket.

- Yes, Katy!

No, it's too dangerous.

Come on, Jenny.

There are moments in life

where you just have to take the risk

and go for it.

This is one of those moments.

What brings you kids here?

We're going to steal

money from my mommy's...

Kids. They are so cute.

We're babysitters just taking

a little evening field trip

to the planetarium.

Field trip? At this hour?

Dude, Jupiter's at opposition.

Best time to observe it.

You're right. You really know your stuff.

My mom's a scientist.

Go, go.

Finally.

My people.

Lucky I wore diamonds.

No, Katy, you didn't.

Really?

It's Friday night. What did you expect

me to wear, pearls?

- Hey, it's Mom.

- Where?

Oh, no, this is a nightmare.

No, it's actually a really good picture.

It's intense.

Not the picture.

If she sees me, I'll never

get that recommendation letter.

How did you forget the Andersons

were gonna be here tonight?

I didn't forget.

I have it right here on this note.

Where's the note?

"National Science Foundation

Celestial Ball."

This must be our lucky night.

It sure is.

Ah, do you smell that?

- Fresh oregano and a hint of red pepper.
