Lori: (looks down with great amounts of guilt) I- I- I- I don't even know what to say to that.

Lisa: Of course you don't, because you know it's true, but hey, that's our sister. Likeably selfish with a hint of hypocrisy.

(Lori keeps silent.)

"Look if you would just let me explain then…"

Lori cut Lincoln off again, "Enough Lincoln, we have reservation at Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet at six for a double date. So you are going to make amends and make her feel like the most special girl in the world."

Lisa: Ah. The smell of hypocrisy and rudeness.

Ronnie Anne: That's enough!

"You've got to be kidding me?" Lincoln fired back. "Why should I have to make peace with her? I mean I don't even like..."

"I am close to a major breakdown Lincoln; do you really want to argue with me right now?" Lori said building so much pressure upon Lincoln. With each step, she looked like she was about to thrash him at any second.

Lori: (cringes) Do I really act like that? I-

Lisa: Yes. Yes you do.

Lincoln: (looks down)

Lori: Lincoln?

Lincoln: I- let's keep reading.

Lori: I don't think I want- ok then...

(Lori's emotions were so overwhelmed with guilt, she felt like it would explode her. She cringes.)

"But..." he argued back.

Lori lifted the nightstand next, assuring Lincoln's explanantions were pointless right now. Knowing her stubbornness, no one could ever reason with Lori. so reluctantly, he submitted to her outrageous request. It was bad enough that he was in trouble at school, but he was in trouble at home as well. It made it worst that Lori did not hear his story.

Lori: Okay! I can't do this anymore!

(Lori gets up from the couch)

Bobby: Uh, babe? What are you-

Lori: I just- I can't read this anymore! It's too much! I'm leaving!

(Lori walks to the front door)

Lincoln: Lori! wait!

Lori: (depressed) I just need some time by myself... You guys are better off reading this without me anyway. All it'll do is remind you guys of me in real life...(sighs) You guys have fun.

Lincoln: Lori!

(Lori ignores Lincoln and leaves the house, as sad as ever.)

Bobby: Wait, Lori! We can talk some more! Stop! (runs after Lori)

(Vanzilla can be heard driving away)

Bobby: Well, there's nothing we can do now. She's off.

Ronnie Anne: We gotta call her now!

Lisa: Better not. I suggest we let her have her alone time. She needs to take in the truth about her.

(Ronnie Anne glares at Lisa, but doesn't say anything.)

Lisa: In the meantime, I suggest we find a replacement for her, pronto.

Lincoln: Lisa's right. Poor Lori probably needs time to cool down.

Bobby: I- (sighs) You're right. Poor Lori.

Lincoln: I know she threatened me like that, but...

Lisa: Enough about her! Now, who are we going to- ?

(Suddenly, Clyde bursts through the front door with a smile)

Clyde: Did someone say they need a replacement?!

Lincoln: Clyde? What are you-

Clyde: I heard you guys from outside.

Bobby: How long have you been standing out there?

Clyde: Oh, I was just walking by to ask if I could join you for an episode of this.

Lincoln: Really?

Clyde: Yeah! You never invite to one of these things.

Ronnie Anne: Oh yeah! You've never done one of these before. Have you?

(Clyde shakes his head)

Lincoln: I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd want to join me.

Clyde: Of course I do! It looks fun!

Lincoln: Well... Lori just left so... sure. You can do this!

Clyde: Yay! (hops into couch excitedly)

Bobby: Welcome to the show, Clyde!

Clyde: What did I miss?

Lisa: Nothing much.

Ronnie Anne: Excuse me?

Lisa: You just missed Lincoln suffering one of ol' Ronalda's pranks and then getting detention for it, on top of hurting Ronnie Anne's feelings. Then Lincoln got threatened by Lori and now he's going on a double date.

Clyde: That sounds familiar.

Lisa: Trust me. It does. Now back to business.

Ronnie Anne: (glaring at Lisa still) Yeah. Sure...
