Den Brother Page #7

all love you.

Having you there

will be like a commercial.

yeah!

Em, no one can know

that I'm with you.

Why not?

Are you embarrassed

to be seen with us?

No. No, no, no. No, that's...

that's not it at all.

I just think that Mrs. Zamboni

should be there.

We're at the ice rink. We're bound to

run into a den mom or two.

They might tell Dina.

Maybe we should just pick

another spot.

But it's the best place

to sell our muffins.

What if Mrs. Zamboni

is there?

Hmm?

Huh?

This is ridiculous.

How do you know

how to do this again?

I love Halloween

Like some people

like christmas or sunlight

I've been doing my old

witch makeup for years.

It's won awards.

But... well, it feels awful.

What is that made out of?

Latex facial appliances,

Just like they use in movies.

Em, is there any chance

this will actually work?

Well, it will be

pretty dark out there,

And this is not going to be

a face

That people will want

a closer look at.

Can't believe

Alex wrote it like this.

We're not babies, you know.

Look. Oh, that looks so cute.

What are you raising money for,

little girl?

Oh, uh...

Oh, uh, we're trying to go

to the camp of bees.

how cute.

Oh, yeah, thanks.

Here you go.

Hello. Hello.

Here. Yeah.

Sweetheart, hi.

It's Emily, isn't it?

And I suppose that your troop

is here with your brother?

Um, well, not exactly.

Really?

So you don't even have

Your junior helper

along with you this time.

Ooh, I am afraid

the bumblebee regional office

Will need to be informed

of this final,

And I am afraid fate

will greet you fools.

I must report troop 57

is a-w-o-d-m.

A-w-o-d-m?

Abroad without a den mother.

Headquarters?

Serious situation.

It appears

that troop 57's den mother is...

Right here.

Dina, you have bumblebee

headquarters

On the speed dial?

Don't you think that's

a bit extreme, deary?

Mrs. Zamboni,

what are you doing here?

Just being a good den mother

And being a loyal supporter.

Go, ice hounds!

What are you doing here, dear?

Well, if you must know,

My husband is required to

attend every game,

And I just wanted to make sure

That everything was in order.

How sweet.

Well, now that you know

everything is "in order,"

Why don't you toddle off

and watch the game?

we have to sell like crazy,

And we have to spread out.

Just go up to anyone

and be like,

"get your muffins here.

Hey, muffins, muffins, muffins,"

Or just anything like that.

Oh, like Tina could do that.

Maybe I could just

restock everyone else?

Tina, we all do things

that we never dream of doing.

I, for example,

I am dressed in public,

as a middle-aged to old

Granny type with a pillow

In my control top.

And besides that, your

whole troop is counting on you

Tina, you can do this.

we believe in you.

Rachel,

Great job on the makeup.

thanks.

Girls.

you did do a good job.

fresh muffins! Butter available!

come on! Where's the "d"?

We're blowing it, guys!

Uh... uh...

I... I mean try harder!

Yo! Hot muffins!

Just $3 for a hunk of heaven!

Hey, blue hat,

I got chocolaty

goodness for you!

Coming in!

Thanks.

Over here!

Hey, lady!

I got some tasty oat bran

With your name on it!

Thanks!

Hey, I'll take a blueberry one!

Sure thing, sister.

Oh, hey, Matisse.

Is that you, Tina?

Um, yeah.

I don't know what came over me,

but I kind of like it.

I think I found my summer job.

minus Alex Pearson,

the ice hounds are tied at 2

And struggling to find a spark

that will lead them to victory.

Honestly, without Pearson,

I'm shocked we even

got those two.

for the love of pizza!

How can we be losing this game?

We could be in the playoffs

for the first time in years

If we could just score

a stinking goal.

Why don't you put Alex in?

Thanks a lot... Grandma...

...But he's not here.

And if he were,

I would end the suspension

And I would

put him in right now.

Done and done.

the ice hounds

are making a substitute

And sending in...

I'm not sure,

But it appears to be

One of the player's

grandmothers?

Huh?

Alex?

Who is that?

she steals the puck,

Skates around and scores!

what?

Is he crazy?

hold your horses.

That's no ordinary granny!

It's Alex Pearson!

I should have known

by his silky-smooth moves

And nose for the goal.

Alex, you are one in a million!

Pearson! Pearson! Pearson!

Buddy, what do you think

about that, man? We won!

No, Alex. You won.

You won.

Goose!

Dude, come on, man.

Emily, I...

Emily, troop 57, wait!

I didn't...

I didn't mean to...

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

No, no, no.

Uh, nothing on

but your dumb show.

It's even a new one, I think.

Things to do, huh?

I'm dvring it so you

can watch it later then.

I was thinking

about making popcorn.

Fyi, the dvr

is definitely working,

So you'll have it.

Um, are you busy?

I mean, I know you're busy,

But... but can you talk?

Oh, are you going to give me

the silent treatment too?

No, Alex, I'm not giving you

the silent treatment.

Well, Emily is

and it's not very mature.

So, could you just...

you want me to make your sister

Talk to you

so you'll feel better

Because you

let her down terribly?

Well, when you say it like that

it doesn't sound too great,

But yeah, could you?

All right.

I... I've done wrong and...

And I deserve punishment.

It feels good to admit that.

Let her rip, dad.

Any time now.

Don't hold back.

Fine. I'll start.

Alex, you are grounded

for two weeks!

No, that's... that's too little.

Four weeks!

Six weeks!

More?

I'm not grounding you, Alex.

Hard labor it is.

Uh, I'll put up a new fence,

I'll paint the house,

I'll re-sod the lawn.

I'm not going to

punish you at all.

What?

If I punish you,

when it was over

You'd feel like

you made up for it.

Instead, I want you

to feel the consequences

Of ruining things

for Emily and her friends.

I'll put up a new fence

And I'll paint the house.

No.

Dad! There has got to be some

way I can make this right.

How can I fix this?

You can't.

I've got work to do.

Well, thank you...

Mrs. Zamboni.

It's a pretty small town, Alex.

You'd better come in.

Please excuse me for a second.

What... are these your badges?

And my daughter's

and granddaughter's.

Wait. No way.

Um, I...

I know this photo.

We... well, we have it

in my house.

That's my mom in the middle.

She was in my daughter's troop.

Integrity,

Fidelity

And readiness.

Do you know the rest, Alex?

Responsibility,

A bumblebee does

what she's supposed to...

And is accountable

for her actions.

Your mother was

an excellent scout, Alex.

Yeah, well,

She should have been

Emily's den mom.

Anyone would have done

a better job than me.

Well...

I could use

some help around here.

The house needs a coat of paint,

the floors need refinishing.

But it depends on who will

actually do the work.

I will.

I... I swear by the code.

Then you've got yourself

a den mother.

Catch it, catch it, catch it!

Brrr.

There is some cold air in here.

Someone, turn up the heat.
