Lisa: Tense changes... tense changes...

Lincoln: Cool it, Lisa.

Rita: (crying) I don't know, okay! We’re always stressed out! What with all the house needs, and trying to raise eleven kids at the same time, it’s really hard dealing with so much stuff at once. A lot of the times there are some things that we don’t know what to do! A lot of the stuff we hear from our kids, we don’t know if it’s real or not. But since many of them keep saying the same or similar things, we just assume so. We just blamed and punished our only son without any actual proof. With all these different stories with different points of view, we just go with however many support it more. (sniffles a bit) But worst of all, I hurt my little baby boy. We've turned him into everything I hoped he wouldn’t be.

Yet Another Familiar Voice: (offscreen) I can't argue with you there, Mrs. Loud.

(Lynn Sr. and Rita turn around to see that it's Sue, who's wearing a few bandages.)

Pop-Pop: (to Rita and Lynn Sr.) Rita, Lynn, you two remember, Sue, one of our nurses here? (to Sue) And Sue, you remember my daughter, Rita, and my son-in-law, Lynn?

Sue: (to Rita and Lynn Sr.) Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Loud. You two are probably wondering why I'm covered in alot of bandages, correct? Well, as you can see, your son has already visited me.

Rita: (to Sue; horrified) Oh, my!

Lynn Sr.: (to Sue; horrified) Please continue.

Sue: (to Rita and Lynn Sr.; continuing) Well, I was working here as usual, but then he had a "funny" idea to cover the floors in sun block. I slipped, and landed in the pool. And finally, he knocked me out with my clipboard.

(Rita and Lynn Sr. stare in disbelief as their jaws drop; Pop-Pop's current expression stays the same.)

Pop-Pop: (to Rita and Lynn Sr.; still sternly) I know, I couldn't believe it either.

Sue: (to Rita and Lynn Sr.; regretfully) I wanted to punish your son for what he did. (sighs) But, unfortunately, I can’t.

Rita and Lynn Sr.: (in unison; shocked and incredulous) Huh?!

Rita: (to Sue; shocked and confused) Well, how come?

Sue: (to Rita and Lynn Sr.; explaining) Well, to be honest, I kind of deserved it. The last time he was here, even though he did disobeyed my rules and almost got Albert here hurt, I do have to admit that he meant no harm. He was just trying to have fun with his grandfather, and he did try to bring him back here before curfew. (sighs) And I do have to admit that I was treating Albert and all the other seniors here like babies, more than anything else.

Albert: Wow. Sue actually being nice for once?

Lincoln: I guess that clipboard smack really knocked some sense into her or something.
