Ladybugs Page #5

---

Suppose he has a gold card

or new Porsche, or something.

You gonna say no? No!

Julie, I'll work it out.

Go buy the kid some earrings, will you?

I lost out on a trip to Hawaii one time

saying no.

Matthew, just remember,

a lady is sensitive, she's tender.

Look at it this way. Women are like

a beautiful bed of flowers.

Of course,

there's a weed here and there.

Hi, can I help you?

Yeah, I'd like to see a nice dress

for a young lady.

And what size is she?

I don't know. What size are you?

Well, actually, it's for his twin sister.

They're the same size.

We have a lovely print we just got in.

It's right here.

I think this would be the right size.

Well, I'd like him to try it on,

I'd like to see what it'll look like

on his twin sister.

We have a dressing room

right over here.

- And I'll be around if you need me.

- Okay.

Chester, come here.

Chester, there's a zipper

in the back of this dress.

You got to help me.

All right, now turn around.

I'll put the wig on.

- All right.

- Come on.

I'm sorry,

but the dressing room is occupied.

If you have a seat right over there,

I'll have your dress here for you.

Thank you.

Isn't that a pretty dress?

Just remember, we got to be careful.

I don't want your mother to find out.

She'll kill me.

- God, I can't believe I'm doing this.

- Don't worry. I'll be finished soon.

Take it easy. That hurts.

All right, don't worry.

If it's too tight, you'll get used to it.

Well, what a cute little girl.

And what's your name?

All right, you look like a young lady.

Now you have to act like one.

She's in training.

Friday night, she's an underdog.

You got to work on your jab, your hook

and your slip is showing.

Come on, will you? You keep this up,

your next fight will be with me.

You have to go to the bathroom,

go ahead.

Look at me. How can I?

- Can you wait till you get home?

- No way.

- Use the ladies' room.

- I can't.

Suppose there's women in there?

Anybody in here? The mall's on fire.

Mall's on fire.

Go ahead. I'll watch out for you.

I guess he couldn't wait

till he got home, either.

What's taking you so long?

You're a young kid.

You got the wrong place, lady.

It's the men's room.

Oh, dear, it's the other door.

- I almost walked into the men's room.

- Almost.

Come on, let's get out of here.

She probably saw something

she never sees at home.

This game is a big one

for me today, Julie.

- Mullen's going to be here.

- You are right, Chester.

You don't know how right you are.

In fact,

he's walking towards you right now.

Well, I'll see you.

I got to go check out the girls.

- Chester.

- Mr. Mullen, how are you?

You know,

I remember our last conversation.

I know you wanted a winning team,

you know, but it just takes time.

I mean, don't be angry. It'll work out.

They're getting better.

I mean, you know how girls are.

They never come through right away,

you know.

Chester, take it easy, slow down.

You've got it all wrong.

You've made terrific progress.

You almost won the last game.

- My wife and I are very pleased.

- Really?

Of course we are. Are you kidding?

And this new girl

you've got on the team, Martha.

- I hear she's great.

- She is, she is.

She's really something different,

you know.

I'll tell you.

I'm happy you feel that way, Mr. Mullen.

Chester, call me Dave.

- Okay, Dave.

- Chester, you keep up the good work,

this time next year,

you'll have 10 men under you.

Dave, can you make it women?

Chester.

- I'm looking for Coach Chester.

- Yeah. Right here.

Well, I'm Coach Annie with the Beavers,

and so far this year, we're undefeated.

And I heard about your team.

So far this year, you've lost two.

Well, Coach Chester,

make ready to make it number three.

You're pretty sure of yourself,

aren't you?

Yeah, well I know what my girls can do.

And I just want to tell you

that your team is going to get crushed.

I guess you're going to play, too, huh?

I'll tell you one thing,

she's not two-faced.

If she was,

she'd wear the other one, huh?

The Ladybugs are losers, Chester,

'cause you're a loser!

What a lady.

Boy, when she walks in the room,

mice jump on chairs.

At Christmas,

they hang her and kiss the mistletoe.

I tell you, if she went to a dog show,

she'd win.

- Chester, good luck.

- Okay, Mr. Mullen.

- Chester.

- Yeah?

Martha gave me this. Take a look at it.

What? She put Chu at center,

Heape at goalie.

Why, she changed around

all the positions here.

Martha thinks

they'll be more effective this way.

Well, it's okay with me.

I mean, I'm used to having women

tell me what to do.

We're going to win this one.

Get ready for it.

Chu, the ball.

Come on, go for it.

Okay, get ready.

I'm going to kick it to you.

Chu! All right.

Look at those pretty butterflies, Chu.

There you go. Okay.

Good, now keep it going.

We're going to crush you, Chester!

Crush those bugs! Crush those bugs!

Trap those beavers!

Trap those beavers!

Okay, you're doing good.

Okay, keep your eye on the ball.

Come on, come on, fight!

Yeah!

- That's our girl, Chu!

- Chu! Chu!

What, are you celebrating or sneezing?

Julie, everything's working out great.

Martha's behaving herself.

Mullen is happy as...

- Chester.

- Hey, Bess.

I was just telling Julie

everything is working out perfectly.

I thought you were working.

Well, I'm on my lunch hour.

I wanted to watch some of the game

but I can't stay long.

- Good. I'll walk you to your car.

- No. I can stay for a little while.

- Can I sit over here?

- Over here?

- Martha!

- It's coming to you!

No, no, no. You come with me.

I'll get you a better seat.

- Come with me, will you?

- Get ready.

All the way! All the way!

Go! Go! Go!

- Here you are, honey. Sit right here.

- This is a better seat?

Are you kidding?

This is the best seat in the house.

You can see the whole field.

You don't miss any action.

You get the whole perspective.

Go on, sit here. Go ahead, will you?

- Larimer, get ready.

- Come on, come on.

Okay, Bess, let's go.

Let's go? I've hardly seen anything.

Honey, it's the same thing

all over again.

They kick the ball back and forth.

Come on, you got to get back.

I don't want you to be late.

I mean, I want you to quit your job,

not get fired. Now, come on.

Here!

Bess, did I tell you?

You look gorgeous today.

Here. Me. I'm open here!

Okay, come on. Let's go.

- Come on, Pester.

- I don't want to. I'm scared.

- Pester, come on.

- Jesus.

It's a throw in.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- I'm thinking of replacing Pester.

I don't think she can make it.

Come on.

You don't want to leave the game,

do you, Pester?

We need you out there.

- I want to stay.

- Okay.

She's in your hands.

But not completely, you know.

- Pester!

- Okay. Open your eyes, Pester.

Open your eyes!

You can do it. Don't be afraid, Pester,

okay? The ball ain't going to bite.

All right.

Okay, Pester. Eye on the ball.

Keep your eyes on the ball.

Okay, now, pass it to Larimer. Go!
