Luna: Dudes, Mom and Dad are talking again.

[They rush over to the vent.]

Lynn Sr.: I don't know. Maybe I'll keep the musical one.

[Luna smiles triumphantly.]

Rita: Are you kidding? That one makes my ears bleed.

Luna: [heartbroken] Way harsh, Mom...

[Her siblings console her. Luan and Lincoln pat her shoulders as them, along with Luna's other sisters secretly smile at each other.]

Lynn Sr.: Well, I definitely don't need the dark one. So dreary. Good for a funeral, but what else, really? Right?

[Lucy gasps, thinking that Dad meant he doesn't want her and Lynn laughs at her.]

Lynn Sr.: How about the one with the hockey sticks?

Rita: Eh, never been a fan. [Now Lynn gasps] Same with the filthy one. [Lana scoffs]

Lynn Sr.: How about the funny one?

[Luan puts a smile on her face, thinking she'll be the one.]

Rita: Never made me laugh.

[Luan replaces her smile with a frown and puts a teardrop on her cheek.]

Lynn Sr.: Ugh. Now the pink one I can definitely do without.

Lola: [enraged] You will PAY FOR THIS!

Rita: And the littlest one is just crying to be thrown out.

[Lily is flabbergasted. She puts her pacifier in her mouth and goes into a fetal position.]

Rita: Then we've got the dumb one.

[The other kids look at Leni.]

Leni: [oblivious] What?

Lynn Sr.: You know, I'd also feel a little guilty about tossing out the gifted one.

[Lisa seems calm about that comment presumably reflect on her.]

Rita: Oh, who's gonna know? [Lisa's expression changes] So where does that leave us?

[The girls realize there's only one left and it's the only boy.]

Lisa: I believe it leaves you with Lincoln. But what do I know? I'm just the gifted one.

[The girls are all furious at this decision which Lincoln can't help with. At that moment, he looks on with a worried look as he fantasizes what his life would be like if his parents got rid of his sisters. Cut to the fantasy, where he looks pretty down.]

Lynn Sr.: Well, son, now that we've cleared out the clutter, we've got a lot of extra space in the house! And it's all yours.

Rita: Have fun with it.

[Lynn Sr. throws out everything that reminds him of his former daughters, even the picture all eleven kids took for their parents' anniversary and replaces it with a gilded photo of their son. Afterwards, both parents leave. Lincoln slowly walks over to the photo of him and gives out a large sigh.]

[Lincoln goes over to the trash can filled with his former sisters' stuff, and takes out the anniversary picture. He looks at it a bit, remembering all the good times he and his sisters shared. He sheds several tears, which land on said picture. He sets the picture back where it was on the mantle and next to the photo of him.]

[He goes upstairs and slowly walks towards Lori & Leni's room and opens their door. There, he envisions brief memories of the two doing their usual activities.]

Lincoln: [sniffles; sadly] Lori... Leni...

[Lincoln does the same exact thing for for the rest of his sisters' rooms. Eventually goes inside his room and plops down onto his bed, face first.]

Lincoln: [rolls onto his side and towards the screen; to the viewers; sadly] Well, looks like the loud days in this house are over now... [rolls back onto his stomach and sobs quietly into his pillow]

[Cut back to real-time, where Lincoln is shedding several tears.]

Lincoln: [sniffles; sadly] Being an only child's gonna be the worst! [traps all his sisters in a bear hug] Oh, what am I gonna do without you guys?! [sobs loudly]
