Den Brother Page #8

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.

Okay, I get it.

First off, I just

want to say that...

I was a real jerk.

A serious jerk.

Biggest jerk of all time.

Huge jerk.

Jerk.

All right, guys,

he knows that he was a jerk.

No, em, it's... it's okay.

I deserve it.

Girls, you have to

understand, I...

I never meant for you

to get in trouble.

I... you have to believe me,

I... um,

I'm truly sorry.

I... I wasn't

a good den brother.

And em...

I wasn't a good

real brother either.

It's too bad...

That "I'm sorry"

Won't get us into camporee.

No. No, it won't.

But I found someone who can.

Mrs. J?

Girls...

Whoa.

...This is Mrs. Jacklitz.

She's going to be

your new den mother.

whoa.

Hi, girls.

Alex, may I have a word

with the girls alone?

yeah, sure.

Girls, who can tell me

the qualities exemplified

By the bumblebee code?

Integrity, readiness,

Responsibility...

And?

Um, fidelity.

Do you know what

"fidelity" means?

Loyalty.

That's right.

Now, I know Alex wasn't

the perfect den mother.

He was a liar.

He lied to us.

He lied to everyone.

But you knew the truth

about Mrs. Zamboni too.

So, you can't

blame it all on him.

Let's start with a go-for-it.

What are we going for?

How about...

Forgiveness?

good evening, ice hound fans!

The hounds' hopes are high

As they prepare to meet

their dreaded rivals

The Norsemen

Following the heartbreaking

last-minute defeat

When last they met.

Huh. Enjoy the snow cone?

Looks like you're not so hot

without a granny wig on.

Alex! Alex, come on!

Whatever, Titus.

Have a good game, man.

Yeah, whatever to you too, Alex.

All right. All right, all right.

So, thanks to Alex,

We are in the playoffs.

Game plan, as per usual,

Everybody passes the puck

to Alex whenever he thinks he...

Coach, can I say something?

Yeah, of course you can.

Listen up, guys.

Alex is going to speak.

All you guys deserve an apology.

I've been a real jerk.

Wow. Goose...

You're the heart and soul

of this team, man.

I want you

to be captain, not me.

Alex, I don't

want to be captain.

I want you to be a good captain.

Okay. Well,

As captain,

I'd like to implement

A little play I call

the pressure offense.

And by "I," I mean goose.

Well, I say let's

kick some butt!

yeah!

Let's see your moves, Alex.

I'm sticking to you like glue.

Pearson wins the face-off

And... Fades back?

Oh, he doesn't have puck!

A trick play!

Ice hounds score!

hounds lead with just

10 minutes left

in the first period.

Pearson has the puck.

He passes it and... oh!

He gets leveled!

the Norsemen

are all over Pearson.

All right, he comes in again.

Oh!

Human decoy Alex Pearson

Leads the Norsemen...

he passes it...

whoa-ho-ho!

You know, goose,

when you first brought up

The pressure offense,

You failed to mention

that I get crushed...

A lot.

Did I? My bad.

Sorry.

Ah!

tied 3 to 3, just seconds left,

Pearson comes out

from behind the net,

And this time he doesn't pass.

He drives up the ice,

moving past the Norsemen

Like a knife through butter.

Alex Pearson is back!

Pearson closes in

on the Norsemens

He's got a shot there

And he passes to Gustavo...

three! Two! One!

...Who scores at the buzzer!

ice hounds win!

I'm the best coach ever!

That was coach reams.

Dude, I'm so sorry.

What? For making the all-stars?

It should have been you.

My game plan kept you in the back.

No worries. No worries.

What the heck

was that last pass for?

You should have taken that shot.

I knew you had it.

goose! Goose! Goose!

Goose! Goose! Goose! Goose!

Get out of here.

Hey, and don't let

all of this go to your head.

It's not always about you.

Alex! Alex! He's our man!

If he can't do it, no one can!

Two, four, six, eight!

Who do we appreciate? Alex!

Go, Alex!

Dad.

Um, I thought

you were too busy.

Yeah, well,

the girls needed a ride

And after they

told me what you'd done,

How could I refuse?

You made it to this game?

You didn't even get

to see me at my best.

No, I'm pretty sure I did.

Um, em, girls,

What are you doing here?

Wait wait wait,

camporee is tomorrow.

You should be preparing.

Do you have everything you need?

Tents? Sleeping bags

and air fresheners?

Don't worry, we made a list.

We have almost everything.

We don't have our den mother.

Uh, but Mrs. Jacklitz...

Alex, Mrs. Jacklitz

is a really nice lady,

But we all talked about it.

And well, even though

you were kind of selfish

And sneaky at first,

We never would have

gotten here without you.

And we want our den mother back.

Well... well, then what

are we doing here, girls?

Camporee is tomorrow!

yay!

follow me to camporee! Whoo!

Troop 57 reporting

for camporee.

Okay, let me go find

your sign-in sheet.

Now, girls, remember one thing.

You have to decide what you

want to do right now, okay?

How are we doing on that sign...

there seems to be a problem.

There's definitely a problem. What did you

just do with that little girl?

You can't sign in troop 57

Because there is no troop 57.

No den mother, no troop.

Hmm. I'm their den mother.

"allowable with written

permission from the parents

And/or guardians

of the bumblebees in question.

I believe you'll

find them in order.

Not so fast. You forgot

one tiny little detail.

All den mothers

participating in camporee

Must be in full dress uniform.

Alex!

Alex! Alex! Alex!

Alex! Alex! Alex!

Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex!

Whoo!

What, you've never seen

a bumble bee troop before?

Let's go! Come on, girls!

I never imagined I'd hear

myself say this, son,

But it fills my heart

with pride to see you

In that bumble bee girl uniform.

Whoo!

Hey, what's all the commotion?

That boy is making

a mockery of camporee.

Go do something about it!

Okay, I think I will.

I'd like a word with you, son.

This is quite some stunt

you've pulled here.

This takes a lot of guts.

It shows real leadership.

And that's just the thing I'm

looking for on the all-star team.

What? I got one open spot.

You interested?

Of course I'm interested, but...

Well, I'd have to check

the troop schedule

'cause my bees come first.

Right, girls?

Yeah!

Alex!

Alex! Alex! Alex!

Alex! Alex! Alex!

Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex!

Alex! Alex! Alex!

Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex!

B-mark. Cut.

Oh!

we're doing a home...

Sorry.

Boo-ya!

Oh... let's... go...

You know.

bumblebees!

That one was... that's

the wrong one, isn't I?

I fell over.

I'm sorry.

Go, Alex!

You're going to need

a steak when you get home.
