Den Brother Page #6

If I can just...

I can just...

Mrs. Zamboni?

Oh, yes? Is that you Dina?

Oh, that one was

way too small for me.

Don't you just

love this store?

I don't shop here.

Oh, there's nothing to be

embarrassed about, dear.

Big-boned gals

need pretty frocks too.

That one was the wrong color

for my complexion.

Listen, don't you feel

that you should be

Out there with your bees

making sure that they're

In uniform,

things like that?

Don't you think you should be

out there with your girls, dear?

Maybe if you spent more time

encouraging them

and less time

obsessing about us...

we wouldn't be handing

you your bottoms

On a silver platter in this

cookie race, now would we?

You will be sorry

you said that, Mrs. Zamboni.

Just keeping it real, dawg,

As the kids say.

Did you find Mrs. Zamboni?

unfortunately, yes.

Uh, Mrs. Zamboni?

I'm Matisse Burroughs.

Uh... uh... uh...

oh, Matisse.

Yeah, Alex talks about you

all the time. How lovely.

I... I feel like

I know you and... and if I've...

if I wasn't

Dealing with this

slim fit body-shaper,

I'd come right out there

and give you a great big hug.

Alex... Alex talks about me?

Oh... oh, yes.

What a lovely lad.

If it wasn't for him

begging me on bended knee,

Troop 57 wouldn't even

have a den mother.

Really?

Yes.

And... and any girl should

consider themselves lucky

To be Alex Pearsons girlfriend.

Uh, well, I'd better

get back to my sister.

See you.

we won! Alex, we won!

we won! We won!

Oh, wow! That's great!

I knew you girls could do it.

High-fives all around.

bzzzz!

And if we can win here,

we can win anywhere!

We'll keep selling these cookies

until we get to camporee!

yay!

What are those supposed to be?

My badges.

Wow.

Did you guys

make them yourselves?

Look, they all have them.

Well, well, well.

It looks like your junior helper

Has been playing

a little trick on you, 57s.

No, they're... they're

independent study badges.

They count. Look it up.

Alex, not all the badges

can be individualized,

Just one or two.

What's this one for?

I, um, made Alex

and his friends sandwiches.

Bumblebees?

More like wanna-bees?

What did you do for this one,

clean your brother's room?

Now girls,

we mustn't giggle.

Oh, I am so sorry for you, 57s,

But qualifying for camporee

Is more than

just selling cookies.

These badges will not count

Toward your eligibility.

Too bad there's

no gullibility badge.

Oh, my.

Come on, my little ones.

This is wonderful.

How could you?

I can't believe for one second

That I actually...

No, no, no, ma...

Uh, em, girls, come on.

We're going.

Come on.

Hey. I thought

I saw you out here.

Good game, goose.

Yeah. Yeah, fourth win in a row.

Yeah, lady luck is really

Shining down on you guys.

Yeah.

Whatever.

Anyway, you came

to watch us play.

That means a lot.

Emily hates me.

No.

Yeah.

A bunch

of the other bumblebees

Made fun of the badges

I made for the girls

And now they're

all bent out of shape.

I see.

So, you didn't come here

to cheer on the team,

You came here for you.

Don't you think that just

maybe that's your problem?

The problem is that...

Well, aside from the fact

that Emily being mad at me

Makes it a drag to watch her,

Matisse... Matisse thinks this

whole losing camporee thing

Is... is my fault.

It is your fault.

It's totally your fault.

You're absolutely right.

I've got to fix this.

I...

I've got to look like

I'm trying to fix this, right?

Because if I don't,

Emily's always going

to be mad at me forever

And Matisse won't date me.

No. Alex, that's not...

When you're right, you're right.

And you're right.

Alex, no, you're...

Alex, you're missing the point.

hey.

All right, guys,

let's review what we agreed on

In the bumblebee

chatroom last night.

Nobody is going to

talk to Alex, right?

Right. We need to be mean,

But not too mean

because we still need him.

I can't believe I have

an organize-Alex's-closet badge.

Hey, guys, look at this.

binoculars and a map?

I smell a rat.

I have a rat.

This smells way more

like your brother.

Come on, let's go.

That way.

That way.

Okay.

I see Alex.

You guys, right there.

Congratulations, you have all

now officially earned

You orienteering badges.

Here you go, em. Girls.

Nice trick, Alex.

It still doesn't

Make up for what you did.

I'm sorry about that.

I... I really am.

But... but you still need five

more badges for camporee.

I... I dug up all the stuff you

need and I brought it here.

So, what do you say?

Two! Three!

Five! Six!

And seven!

And eight!

# one two three, turn around #/i

# don't you watch me #/i

# just turn around #/i

# do it now #/i

# don't me count, oh-ho #/i

# one two three, turn around #/i

# watch yourself,

why don't you turn around? #/i

# can't you see,

I don't need you around? #/i

# do it now, I'll walk

right through that door #/i

# one two three #/i

# don't you watch me #/i

# turn around, do it now #/i

# walk right

through that door #/i

# one two three #/i

# come watch me #/i

wow!

# come watch me #/i

# walk right

through that door #/i

Wow. Thanks, Alex.

I can start a fire.

Yes, you can. And we know

You're only going to

do that in a fireplace

Or officially

designated campsite,

No unsupervised fires ever.

Got it.

look, I got another...

Now, the good news

is that troop 57

Now has all the required badges

For the skills you'll need

To compete

in this year's camporee.

oh, but hold on!

The bad news is that we're

A little short

on our cookie sales.

Now, the cookie sales

are how we pay for camporee.

Well, how short are we?

Well, it doesn't really

matter how short we are,

As cookie sales have closed.

Maybe we could sell

something else.

Like our blood!

Muffins.

Everybody loves muffins.

They're just like cookies,

but with all the packaging.

And we can make them ourselves.

yeah.

We have a big kitchen at my

house. We can make them there.

Okay, well, if we baked muffins,

we'd have to sell, like...

We have to sell 415 muffins?

Each... for a total

Of $2,075.

We can't do that. No one can.

Now, wait a second. You guys

didn't think you could earn

Five merit badges

that quickly either, did you?

No.

Hmm.

We should at least try.

Or not.

We can do this.

Now, supposing we do

Bake muffins all day,

Ideally, we want to find

A big group of people

That are all jammed

together or hungry.

And if they were cold,

that would be a bonus

'cause the muffins would be hot.

Oh, what about

the big hockey game?

yeah! That's perfect!

Don't remind me

of the hockey game.

If my team

doesn't win this game,

We don't go to the playoffs

And then I don't get to be

on the all-star team.

Alex, we should go

to the hockey game.

Stop. I don't want

to talk about the hockey game!

Now, where can we go

where there's going to be

A big group of people

who are cold and hungry...

The hockey game.

that's right.

the ice rink is so perfect.
