Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off Page #4

So I Don't Know Why

You're Making Such

A Big Deal Out Of This!

Ok. I Don't Think

I'm The One Who's Making

A Big Deal Out Of It.

Why Is This

So Important To You?

I Don't Know.

It's Not.

Hey, Maybe If I Win,

It Won't Matter

If I Like To Do It.

Who Says

You Have To Win?

So, That's It?

That's What This

Is All About--

You Like To Cook?

It Was Just

Some Dumb Idea.

Can We Please Just

Forget About It?

And Deprive The World

Of Eddie's Incredible

Edible Barbecue Sauce?

[Chuckles]

Ok, But You Can't

Tell Dad.

Or Alex And Andy.

I Can't Lie

To Your Father.

I Really Think He Would

Understand If--

No, He Wouldn't.

And You Know He Wouldn't.

Well, Maybe He Would.

Ok, Maybe He Wouldn't.

Anyway, What Have You

Got Left To Do?

How Can I Help?

Well, Walk On Down

To Big Mama's Kitchen

Gonna See

What's Cookin' Today

People Are Talkin'

All Over This Town

They Can't Seem To Stay Away

I Smell That...

And Not Only That,

It's Colorful.

And It's Easy To Eat.

So Good,

I Want Some Soul Food

I Want Something So Good,

I Want Some Soul Food

Whoa! I Remember Hearin'

That Jukebox Music

From The Golden Goose Cafe

Say, You Better

Slow That Row Down

Nice And Low-Down,

Hear That Good Man Say

I've Got

A Crazy Little Thing

That I'm Sure You Will Enjoy

We Got Soul Food

I Want Some Soul Food

Give Me Some Soul Food

I Want Some Soul Food

Whoa, Yeah

He's Out!

Hey, Hey, Hey, Eddie!

Way To Go, Eddie!

You Two Have Got To Be

The Double Play Kings.

Or King And Queen.

You Had It Right

At Kings.

[Tapping]

Excuse Me, Class.

I've Got A Little

Announcement To Make.

Well, Actually,

It's Quite

A Big Announcement.

It's Huge.

Um, I've Just Gotten

Off The Phone

With The Cook-Off People.

And, You Know,

They Were So Sweet.

They All Remembered Me.

Said People Still Talking

About My Winning Triple

Berry Torte 30 Years Later.

And--I Don't Know--Maybe

They Were Just Being Nice.

Of Course, They Were

Just Being Nice.

Did I Make The Finals,

Or Didn't I?

Bridget, There's

A Little Something

Called Building

Anticipation.

Yes, Bridget,

You Are In The Finals.

Oh, My Gosh, Yes!

Go, Bridget.

Ohh.

Oh--And--Oh,

The Other Finalist

Is Eddie Ogden.

Yes!

Yes.

Hey!

I Got In, Too.

My Recipe Used

3 Different Types

Of Cheeses.

I Have Copies.

Does Anyone Want To See?

[Sighs] I'm Making

A Difference.

I Really Am.

[Bell Rings]

Wait, Db, Come On.

Don't Be Mad.

I'm Sorry.

It Was Just A Joke.

I Thought It Would

Be Funny.

Jokes Are Usually

Funnier When You Share

Them With Your Friends.

I Know.

I Should've Told You.

I Just Thought That

You Would Think

It Was Stupid.

Yeah. Good Guess.

I Do Think It's Stupid.

Just Tell Me This...

Do You Like Home Ec?

Yes Or No?

No, I Don't Like It.

I--I Don't Know.

Maybe I Don't Hate It

As Much As You Guys Do.

Sometimes It's Not

That Bad.

Ok. I Like It.

I Like Making Something

Out Of Nothing.

I Like Figuring Out

What Goes Together.

I Like Doing Something

No One's Ever Done Before.

I Don't Know Why.

I Just Like It.

He Likes It.

Come On,

This Is Stupid.

I Won With That

Gross Purple Gunk.

This Whole Cook-Off Thing

Is A Total Joke.

You Gotta Admit,

It Is Kinda Funny.

Yeah. Kinda.

I Thought

Bridget's Head

Was Gonna

Spin Right Off.

Hey, You Know

What's Gonna Be Funny?

Your Dad's Face

When He Finds Out.

My Dad!

Hey, I'm Home.

Both:
Edwina's Home!

Hey...Lookin' For This?

Gimme That!

Oh!

Ok, Ok. You Can Torture

Your Brother Later.

Go On.

Go, Go, Go, Go.

[Sighs]

It's A Certificate.

And They Ruined It.

You Know,

It's Against The Law

To Read Other

People's Mail.

Oh, They Didn't Open It.

Your Home Ec

Teacher Called

To Share

In Our Excitement.

You Don't Look

Very Excited.

Oh, Really?

Because Nothing

Excites Me More

Than Having

My Son Lie To Me

And Sneak Around

Behind My Back.

I'm Sorry That I Lied.

And This Cook-Off Thing--

What's That About?

It's Nothing.

It's Just A Thing.

It's Not Gonna

Interfere With Baseball

Or School Or Anything.

I Promise.

Eddie, I Thought

We Had Some Kind

Of Understanding.

[Door Opens]

Hi. Everybody's

Home Early.

What's Going On?

I Got Into

The Cook-Off.

Oh, Honey, That's Great.

Congratulations.

[Sighs]

Obviously, This Isn't

Coming As A Big Surprise

To You.

No. Not Really.

I Mean, His Recipe

Was Really Good.

Eddie, Is There Some Reason

You Told Your Mother

And Not Me?

I'm Sorry I Didn't

Tell You.

I Guess I Was

Just...Afraid.

I Don't Know What

I Was Afraid Of.

I Think We All Know

What You Were Afraid Of.

Ok. Fine.

Clearly, I Have No Idea

What's Going On

Around Here Anymore.

You Think You Can

Handle It,

More Power To You.

Handle What?

P.A.:
Not Only Is Eddie Ogden

The First Boy

From Cedar Valley Junior High

To Make The Finals,

He's Also The Only Boy

In His Age Bracket.

Oh, And Bridget Simmons

Is Also A Finalist.

Simons, You Buffoon!

Bridget Simons!

Left On The Outside

Wonderin' Why

I Don't Fit In

Left On The Outside

Hey, Eddie.

Wanna Try Out?

Wonderin' Why

I Can't Get With You

You Ok?

Yeah, I'm Fine.

Want Me

To Take Him Out?

No, Really, I'm Ok, But

Thanks For The Offer.

I Can't Believe You're

Going Through With This.

You Know, I Don't Know Why

Everybody's Making Such

A Big Deal Out Of It.

'Cause People

Are Idiots.

Just Lay Low And--

Mrs. Hadley:
Eddie!

Get In Here!

We've Got Some Serious

Cook-Off Training To Do!

[Laughter]

Alrighty, Then,

Let's Get Crackin'.

I Really Don't Think

We Need To Do This.

I'm Serious.

So Am I. Start

Cracking Those Eggs

Before They Hatch.

Hmm. Smooth.

Ok, So I Can't

Crack An Egg.

Who Cares? I Can Do

All The Rest Of It.

Oh, Really?

Can You Saut?

Fricassee? Cleave? Fold?

Mince? Scald? Cream?

Reduce, Extract,

Whip, And Flamb?

Can You...

Zest A Lemon?

Poach A Pear?

Cream A Custard?

Layer A Lasagna?

Coddle An Egg?

Dress A Lamb?

Well, You're Gonna Learn.

The Finals

Are About Knowledge

And Mastery Of A Craft,

And They Can Throw

Anything At You.

Your Days Of

Self-Indulgent

Creativity Are Over.

Come On, You Wanna

Win This, Don't You?

Yeah, But I Really--

No, No,

No Buts. No.

The World Is Gonna Learn

That Mrs. Rose Hadley,

Certified Nutritionist,

Is Still A Force

To Be Reckoned With,

And You Guys Are Gonna

Tell 'Em. So...

For The Next Month,

You're Gonna Do Nothing

But Eat, Breathe, Sleep

Home Economics.

Oh...

Except Tuesday.

That's...That's

When I Jazzercise.

Hey.

You Coming?

Uh...I've Got

Some Work To Do.

You Said It,

Brother.

Whatever.

Ok...Now...

So, Try Again

With The Egg.

There You Go,

And In It Goes.

Oh--Heh Heh.

Try Again. It's Ok.

I Should Have Been There

I Should Have Made It By Now

But I'm Down On My Knees

When Nobody's Around

Yeah, I Tried To Be Strong

But I Lost It Somewhere

In The Midst Of My Dream

I Forgot About Reality

And It Hit Me Real Hard

Tears Make It Hard To See

Hey, Bud.

Good Game?

Hi.

Yeah, Yeah,

It's Going Great.
