(It starts with Me and the Loud’s driving to Lynn Sr.’s office.)

Lori: "Dad must have been so caught up making breakfast that he forget his work stuff." [Inside the van, all of us are eating breakfast sandwiches. Lori holds up a satchel with a laptop in it.]  "Luna, will you run Dad's laptop up to him?"

Luna: "And leave my breakfast sandwich with you animals? That's a neg, dude."

[Luna shoves Lana and Lola away from her, who try to grab hold of her breakfast sandwich.]

Leni: "I'll do it. I trust you guys."

Me: And I already finished my sandwich, so I’ll come with you. (threateningly) If any of you eat my lady’s sandwich you’re dead. Got that?

[Leni puts her breakfast sandwich down, is given the laptop from Lori, and heads off. I follow her. Luna, Lana, and Lola lay their eyes on Leni's half-eaten breakfast sandwich. Lana and Lola attempt to grab it, but Lori swats their hands away, and grabs the sandwich.]
