April Fools Rules/Script

Lincoln: [marks April 1st on his calendar; to the viewers] Tomorrow is April Fools' Day. Every year my sister Luan creates a prank apocalypse and no one is spared! I present to you Luan Loud's April Fools' Highlight Reel. ''[He begins showing a montage of Luan's April Fools' Day pranks on the Loud Family. First, the siblings are looking at their furniture, which is tacked to the ceiling]'' Luan: "I'd say this prank's a little over your head!" [laughs] [Now they open the door to find the room full of chickens] Luan: "Seems to be your clucky day!" [laughs] [Now the kids are looking at their house all wrapped up in wrapping paper] Luan: [rips through a window] "I guess that's a wrap!" [laughs] [Now the siblings are trapped in a humongous gelatin] Luan: "Aww, look at the Loud Family gettin' jiggly with it!" [laughs] [The pets have their fur shaved off] Luan: "I shaved the best for last!" [laughs] [The video ends] Lincoln: See what I mean? Nobody's safe from that evil pranking genius. But this year's gonna be different. Luan is not gonna prank me! Because I've got an April Foolproof plan. [towards his door] You're not the only one who can make a pun, Luan! [opens his door to reveal Lily wearing a watermelon helmet and diaper, Lynn putting on padding, Lola coating herself and Lana in bubble-wrap ] Lana: "Bubble-wrap me next!" Lucy: [enters with her head inside a gargoyle head] "I need more armor." Lynn: [as Lisa enters in army gear] "Where's my helmet!?" Lori: [talking on her smartphone] "Bobby, we have to cancel all our plans in April." [Bobby asks why] "Because Luan might shave my eyebrows off again! And it takes a month for them to grow back." Luna: [following Lisa] "C'mon Lisa! Let me hunker in your bunker!" Lisa: "You should've been more prepared. We'd known this storm was coming for 364 days." Luna: [dropping to her knees] "PLEASE! GIVE ME SHELTER!"

[Lincoln walks by whistling when Lola dashes out in front of him] Lola: "Arms up, Lincoln! Your turn for bubble-wrap. Lincoln: [puts his hand in front of Lola] Not this year, Lola. I'm not getting pranked. [Loud girls chatter] Lincoln: Ladies! Ladies! I got a plan! I'm simply gonna lock myself in my room till the days over. I've got snacks, video games and a hose to pee in which I call the Tinkle Tube. Patent pending. Lori, Leni, Luna, Lynn, Lucy, Lola and Lily: Ew! Lana: Cool! Lincoln: [points to his window] It goes out the window! My point is, I'll never have to leave my room so Luan will never get me. [The siblings look frightened as Luan comes upstairs while holding a sausage] Luan: Ooh! It's Pranksmas Eve and I'm just bubbling with excitement. [pops a piece of Lola's bubble wrap and walks away] Lola: I'm gonna need more bubble wrap! And a fresh pair of undies. Lincoln: Thanks for the lumber, Lana! I'll return it on April 2nd. [walks away with lumber] Lana: Mahogany was a good choice. That'll hold nicely. [Lincoln closes his door, uses the drill to seal the nails and Mahogany on it, then puts a chair by the doorknob.]

Lincoln: [takes out his radio] Clyde, wanna hang out tomorrow? I built us a fortress with snacks, games and a Tinkle Tube. Patent pending.

Clyde: On Pranksgiving? No way! Not after what happened last year. ''[flashback to what happened during the past April Fools Day where Clyde steps on a rope as one of Luan's prank traps. Water sprays on his face and he is covered in hay. Luan's laughing can be heard. Then, a flock of crows come to attack him as he screams. End flashback as Clyde looks a little scared.]''

Lincoln: But nothing's gonna happen this year. I've got an April Foolproof plan. [checks his phone] Hang on Clyde, Ronnie Anne just texted me. She said she's coming over tomorrow with a present for me. [gasps] She can't come over tomorrow! She'll get nailed by Luan's pranks and then pulverize me!  Clyde:''' Just tell her to come over another day.

Lincoln: I can't do that! That will definitely get me pulverized!

Clyde: You gotta get Luan to call off Prankapalooza. Appeal to her humanity. Beg if you have to!

Lincoln: Good idea! Just as soon as I get the Mahogany off the door! [Lincoln tries pulling it off and goes in Luan and Luna's room, he arrives and as Lincoln calls Luan's name, Luan turns around in a Jester chair to face Lincoln while she's has Cliff on her lap]

Lincoln: Luan! You call off Prankageddon! Please! Ronnie Anne is coming over tomorrow and I can't let her get pranked!

Luan: Okay.

Lincoln: Really! Wow that was easier than I...

Luan: APRIL FOOLS PRACTICE! Lincoln, you know the April Fools Rules. Anyone who sets foot on our property is fair game. Speaking of which, is Clyde coming over? 'Cause I'd love to tell him HAY!!! [chuckles]

''[Lincoln rushes back to his room, puts the Mahogany back on his door and calls Clyde] Lincoln: Clyde! Pleading with Luan did not work! She's an animal! [hears a cat noise] What was that?

Clyde: Oh, that's Cleopawtra. She's been feisty lately so we put her in a timeout crate.

Lincoln: Timeout crate. That's it! [runs away to brainstorm his idea and tries to pull the Mahogany off the door] Why did I choose Mahogany?

[At the basement, Lincoln flicks the lamp on.]

Lincoln: [to his sisters who are not Luan] Okay, we're all here? Good! So, about Luan.

Lola: Shh! She's got ears everywhere! [turns on the washing machine] I saw this in the mob movie once. She won't hear us over the noise.

Lincoln: We all know tomorrow is going to be awful. But it doesn't have to be. If we combine forces, we can prevent Luan from setting up any pranks in the first place.

Lynn: Uhhh, how exactly are we gonna do that?

Lincoln: Let me tell you my plan.

Lisa: Better make it snappy. We're almost done with the spin cycle.

''[Later that night in Luna and Luan's room, Luan is snoring. Luna then gets up and gives a bird-like call. Everyone then enters the room. Luan then opens her eyes as her siblings tied her down, trapped her in a cage, and keeping her fingers together with Chinese finger traps.]''

Luan: [enraged] LET ME OUT OF HERE!

Lincoln: Okay.

Luan: Really? Wow! That was easier than I...

Lincoln: APRIL FOOLS! We aren't letting you out until April 2nd! [The other sisters begin to cheer]

Lynn: That was a crate plan, Lincoln! [The siblings laugh during a rimshot]

Lori: I've been crating for this moment all my life! [The siblings laugh again]

Lana: Well, better crate the never! [The siblings laugh again]

Leni: You're in a crate! [The other siblings don't seem to get it.] Get it?

Lincoln: Maybe we should just go to bed.

''[The next day, Luna is heard screaming. The cage is now broken, meaning that Luan just escaped.]''

Lola: [panicked] We're doomed! Luan escaped, and now she's gonna be mad!

Lincoln: How could this have happened?!

Luna: She's a black magic woman, dude!

Lincoln: [holds up a loose chain] I gotta get my money back for these. [As Lincoln pulls the chain, it sets up a bucket full of honey that spills on him, followed by a blast of feathers while the sisters gasp in surprise]

Lisa: Peace out. I'll be in my bunker. [dashes off]

Lincoln: Everyone else to my room! We'll be safe there.

''[As the siblings runs towards Lincoln's room, their parents shows up by the stairs. Rita is wearing a padded gear while Lynn Sr. is wearing bubble wrap]''

Lynn Sr.: What's all the ruckus about?

Lori: Luan is on the loose! TAKE COVER!

Rita: But we thought you lock her up!

Lynn Sr.: Plan B! RETREAT! RETREAT! [he and Rita run back downstairs]

''[Lincoln walks up to the refrigerator wearing a helmet. He opens the fridge door, and is socked right in the face by a boxing glove on a spring. The force of impact propels him into the stove.]''

Lincoln: "OW!" [His helmet breaks apart, and a bunch of vicious raccoons pop out of the stove and attack Lincoln as he screams in pain]

Luan: [Popping in from the other room] "I made that dish from scratch!" [laughs]

Rita: [knocking on shelter] Lisa Marie Loud! Let us in!

Luan: Yeah! Well who do you think invited her over genius? I know I had to lure you out of your room, so I called Ronnie Anne, and told her how much you loved April Fools Day. And here she is, to deliver the final blow. ''[Ronnie Anne pulls out a pie. Lincoln embraces for impact as she threw a pie at Luan's face]''

Lincoln: Huh? Why'd you do that?

Ronnie Anne: You took all those pranks for me. It's the least I could do. Come on, let's drop some eyebrows on you and go get a milkshake. [the two left the house]

Luan: That girl's a keeper!

[Soon afterwards, the family are relieved that the prank is over.]

Lynn Sr.: I think it's over! [The other eight sisters agreed]

Rita: Wait! Where's Leni?

Lisa: I have my suspicions.

Lynn Sr.: Okay, everybody in the van. Let's find Leni, and then afterwards, frozen yogurt to celebrate! Ha ha! ''[Everyone then hurries to the van. But just as the van is about to start, the airbag explodes, splatting blue paint everywhere in the car.]''

Loud Family: LUAN!

Luan: Man, the end of April Fools always make me feel a little blue. [laughs] "Get it?"
