- You bet.

- Got it.

Trust me. I know what to do.

- What do we do?

- Jacket.

- Sweater.

- Sweater. Hands up.

Sweater.

- Tie your shirt.

- Tie the shirt.

- Those.

- Okay.

What else, mastermind?

Gorgeous.

Ta-da!

You look great!

- What do you guys think?

- You look amazing.

- Nice job.

- Yeah, really.

You look amazing.

Have fun.

I don't think I can do this.

Yes, you can.

Just look at everything you did tonight.

You risked your life, you went to jail,

you stole a car, rapped onstage,

you crashed a gala

and fought off criminals.

Talking to a boy will be easy.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Thanks, Lola.

Of course. Now go get him.

Thank you. Good night!

It's over. What do I do?

Go. Go get him, Jenny!

Go! Just go find him.

Go. He's in there somewhere.

Zac!

Zac!

Zac!

Zac Chase?

Zac!

Jenny?

- What are you doing here?

- Looking for you.

Me? But you told me to get lost.

No, it wasn't me.

Someone else had my phone.

I would've said yes.

You would?

Wait, don't move!

Sorry. Excuse me. Sorry, sorry.

Hold on, Jen.

Hi.

Hi.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I really have to go.

But you just got here.

I know. It's along story

and along night.

I just wanted you to know the truth.

And I really have to go now.

Then I'll come with you.

But what about Dominique?

Dominique? No, she left early

with her boyfriend.

She has a boyfriend?

Jenny. Jenny!

- Jenny.

- Jenny!

Jenny, I got a missed call

from the Andersons,

but I thought we should

listen to the message together.

All right. Put it on speaker.

Hi, guys. This is Zac.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

I'm sort of babysitting.

Wow. Their parents must really trust you

to take their kids into the city.

Okay, guys, here it is.

Lola,

the security company called.

The alarm went off earlier,

no one's answering at the house,

and we just heard from the Coopers

who are looking for

their kids in the city jail.

- We're on our way home.

- I knew it.

I knew this would happen.

I knew we would've been home by now

if I hadn't broken

the most important rule of all.

You never put a boy before kids.

No, it's my fault. I talked you into it.

I practically forced you.

I never should've taken this job.

I thought babysitting

was the easiest job in the world,

but it's not.

Jenny, I'll take full responsibility.

I'll tell the truth.

You didn't recommend me,

we're not friends.

I lied about everything.

Let's just turn ourselves in.

For once, I agree with you.

- Now just wait one minute.

- Yeah.

We've spent the whole night

listening to you two argue and whine.

But you two aren't the only ones

with something to lose.

- We're not?

- Hello!

I snuck out to a concert.

I skated off in the city by myself.

I used the stove. Started a fire.

Impersonated a chef.

I took my mommy's

favorite diamond earrings.

I dyed my hair green, got a tattoo,

and told my parents we were in jail.

- I'm sorry, guys.

- Yeah, me, too.

There's no way we'll make it.

Not if we don't try.

We ain't no quitters

Uh, we're the babysitters

- All right, Zac, how big is your car?

- Let's go.

How long do you think it'll take

to get to the tow yard?

Wait! Wait, stop!

Our mom's gonna be

so mad at us. Come on!

Just wait.

Wait. We're here. Hey, lady.

We're closed. Come back tomorrow.

We have the money.

Just give us the car.

We'll be on our way.

Look, girlie...

I'm tired, my feet hurt,

and my truck has a flat.

I've had a really long night.

You've had along night?

Yeah, so don't mess with Trixie.

Don't mess with the babysitter.

Yeah!

- Everyone's buckled up, right?

- Yes.

Okay, cool, we gotta get home

before your parents do, so hold on.

Slowest valet in the city.

Finally!

They could stand

to hire some more help.

I know.

All right, kiddies, we gotta move!

Trey, I need you to get the hose,

rinse off the car.

I'll put it in the garage later.

Everybody else, get inside,

get on your pajamas fast. Let's go!

Ready?

Oh, my gosh.

- Look at those bubbles!

- Mom is going to freak out!

Lady Marmalade!

Okay, Emily, get that dog

into a tub and start scrubbing,

and scrub your head

and arms while you're at it.

Jenny, Katy, get some towels,

start mopping up those suds.

Bobby, AJ, we're on kitchen duty.

Everybody, go, go, go! Now, now, now!

How long will it

take us to get home?

We'll be home in 15 minutes, tops.

- The car's done.

- Dog duty upstairs.

- Wow!

- Check her out.

Jenny, you guys better get going.

Everyone else, upstairs and in bed.

Got it?

All right.

What?

Well, we just wanted to say...

We think you're both

awesome babysitters.

Yeah. This has been

the coolest night of our lives.

- For sure.

- Absolutely.

I met my hero.

I finally found my perfect ingredient.

I went to my first gala.

I missed the concert, but this has been

the best night of my life.

Yeah. Ours, too.

Yeah.

Okay, you freaks, everybody

get out of here already.

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

- Buckled up?

- Yeah.

Let's get home.

The house isn't on fire.

So far, so good.

Now don't tell anyone, Lady Marmalade.

+m

- Hi.

You guys are home so soon.

Is everything okay?

Couldn't be better, Helen.

Your children are angels.

Jenny, thank you again

so much for everything.

We really hope your night of babysitting

wasn't as much trouble as mine.

No. No trouble at all.

No!

Officer, I don't think I was speeding,

but if I was, there's a very good reason.

I've had a really...

Driving without a license is illegal.

Okay, seriously, you really need

to take a night off.

That's a great idea.

How about Saturday?

Um...

Yeah, yeah, Saturday works.

Zac. What are you doing here?

Um, returning Emily's headphones.

Oh, my gosh. I can't believe

she would've forgotten those.

She technically didn't.

I asked her if I could keep them.

You did?

- Yeah.

- Why?

- Um, so I could return them.

- Right.

And see you.

Ask her out!

Ask him out!

Do you...

- Wanna go outwith me?

- With me?

- Yes?

- Yes.

Yeah?

Okay.

Great, Zac. I'll see you tonight.

Um, you're a little late.

- Oh, am I?

- Yeah.

Sorry. I guess I just needed to sleep in

after my date with Zac last night.

Aw. I'm really happy for you guys.

And I want you to know, Jenny,

whatever happens today,

whoever Leon picks, I'm okay.

Thank you, but you were right, Lola.

I didn't even know

who Leon Vasquez was

before I read about this internship.

I like photography,

but no, I don't love it.

Not like you.

I called earlier and officially

withdrew my application.

I'm taking the summer off.

What about college

and early admission

and your transcripts?

What about fun and free time,

and living outside of the box?

Well, since you're such an expert

at this college stuff,

maybe you could help me

with my art school applications.

Sure. Friends help friends, right?

Yeah.

And if you ever need

a recommendation as a babysitter,

feel free to use my name.

I think I should probably retire.
