Den Brother Page #5

Synopsis: A likeable but full-of-himself high school hockey star winds up being the new den mother of his little sister's troupe of Bumble Bees. Though he soon starts using the girls as slave labor for personal gain, the experience eventually brings him out of himself when he sees how his selfish actions have hurt others and that his charm can't always get him through these situations, excuse his behavior, or repair the damage.

The sweet lad is as honest

as the day is long

Or my name isn't

Edna may Zamboni.

All right.

That was so disgusting.

What?

You have a date

With Matisse Burroughs

and you didn't think it worth

Mentioning to me?

Well, it's not really a date.

Are you two going together?

Then it's a date!

You guys! Alex got

a date with Matisse

And we only have

till Thursday.

What do we do?

It's not enough time.

She's way out of his league.

No, wait...

No, I don't need

any dating advice from...

Alex, you know a lot

about hockey, right?

Well, we know a lot about girls.

Now, keeping in mind about

What Matisse thought of you

Up until now,

Will you let us help you?

Good answer.

Alex, stay still.

ow.

No, no... what are you doing?

We have to vamp your hair.

You have to what my hair?

Look at this, Alex.

See these cute boys?

They're superstars.

And they either play

vampires on the screen

Or rock the vampire hair.

Okay, go.

What are you

going to talk about?

Um, I know this.

Her! You're

going to talk about her.

Okay. Emily, Rachel wants

to dress him like a biker.

This is so cool.

All right, well,

let's take a vote.

All right, everybody,

biker shirt?

Okay, uh, cute boy shirt.

Cute boy shirt it is.

Do I get a vote?

no.

Oh, my gosh, you guys,

we have to go!

Get going!

This will have to do. Hurry!

Wait wait wait!

No, hold on! Hold on!

She's picking me up, it's fine.

No, not anymore!

Let's get going!

go go go! Go!

Wait wait. Wait wait.

whoa! Whoa whoa.

What? What what?

My dad owns

a custom auto paint shop.

Have fun.

And open her car door.

Beautiful car, Alex.

Mrs. Jacklitz, you have

a very light footstep.

Ninja.

You bumblebees did

a great job on your wheels.

They are very diligent.

It's part of their code.

Just like integrity,

fidelity and readiness?

You know,

The code also applies

to den mothers.

Interesting

little trivia tidbit,

Mrs. J, but if you'll excuse me,

I have something

I have to be doing.

Thanks for driving.

I love your new look.

Oh, yeah, the hair, uh...

Emily and her friends did it.

I know they kind of went

a little overboard.

No no no, it's cute.

It's, uh... it's even cuter

that you let them do it.

Um, here, let me.

So, were you a bumblebee?

Oh, um, yeah.

I know it's kind of dorky,

but um,

I love this stuff.

And um, you know, I think

it's really great for girls.

That's... that's why I didn't

want Lorna to miss out

Just... just because

our mom was busy.

Yeah.

I think it's wonderful of you

to do this for your sister.

Yeah, well, Emily shouldn't

miss out on all the girly stuff

Just because...

We lost our mom.

And it's not like

I had to join the army

Or anything, right?

Troop 22.

Ooh.

Troop 71.

Oh, ladies, ladies,

Ladies, ladies, ladies.

Do you see these?

The only way to get a golden badge

Is by being the champion troop

Of camporee.

But you're never even

going to have the opportunity

To lose to my troop

If you don't sell enough

cookies to attend.

Troop 18.

Uh, 3,000.

Not bad, Matisse.

You're halfway

to my troop's total.

So far.

Troop 57.

Uh, I don't...

I don't have the exact figures.

That... that's Mrs. Zamboni

And she's at home, she's sick

With a case of the Gretzskys.

Well, I hope

that clears up quickly.

Could you just give me

an approximate number?

I sense that our troop

is slightly behind.

Of course.

But we're doing a big

push at the mall this Saturday.

excuse me?

Uh, troop 66 sells at the mall.

Just Dinas troop? Why?

it's just tradition.

that's bogus.

Junior helper,

did you just say something?

No, sorry den mother Dina.

But... but don't

the bumblebee girls

Represent america?

And didn't...

didn't the pilgrims come

To this great nation so that

king George couldn't tell them

Which mall they could

or couldn't sell their cookies at?

I move to say

that Dinas mall monopoly

Is un-american.

you know, I mean,

if all the troops

Sell at the mall,

it will be pandemonium,

Junior helper.

But why does

troop 66 get the gravy?

Why? We should have a contest to see

who gets the mall concession.

Yeah, whoever wants to sell

at the mall on Saturday can.

Yes, just a...

a cookie blitz if you will.

And whichever troop

sells the most cookies,

Gets the mall

for the rest of the season.

all in favor

Of a cookie blitz say "aye".

aye!

All opposed.

Well, um, good night.

Thanks for the ride

And the hair show.

No problemo.

What you did tonight was great.

You made a stand for all

the den moms who have been

Too terrified

to stand up to Dina

For years.

I was wrong about you.

Emily's lucky to have you

for a brother.

bye. See you later.

Bees!

All right.

Okay, 57, this operation

Separates the men

from the babies...

From the bumblebees.

You know what to do,

so get in there...

Em, what are you doing?

I thought I should look more

like a real bumblebee girl.

No. No, no.

You are a real

bumblebee girl

And a princess

And a vampire

And... and whatever

you want to be,

But you guys know what to do.

So get in there, be yourselves,

And sell some cookies.

Bzzz!

Peanut butter beauts

I would like a word

with your Mrs. Zamboni.

Uh, she's not here.

Not here, is she?

Bumblebee bylaws clearly dictate

the den mother

Must be present. I'm afraid

your troop is officially dis...

No, no, no.

I just meant

She's not here right now.

She's in the mall, obviously.

Oh. Well, where?

She's just taking advantage

Of the 50% off

all control-top jeans

At big beautiful you, you know?

A sale's going on.

I'm sure she'll be back soon.

Well, I don't think I care to wait.

I'd better sell

a couple of these myself.

excuse me.

Oh, darn, these are...

these are quite tight.
