[The episode starts with Leni at City Hall sorting out Mayor Davis's files] Leni: "Okay, 'A file about zoning laws'. Another one that goes under 'A'!" [She fits the file under "A", but there's a lot of files under that and struggles to push it in.] "Phew." Mayor Davis: "Great work, Leni! How are you liking the internship so far?" Leni: "OMGosh, Mayor Davis, it's the best! I learned how to fix a copier." [Flashback to earlier in the internship] Ellie: "Dang it, the copier needs toner!" Leni: "Ooh, I just got a great new toner." [applies makeup to the copier] "And I got a lipstick you'll love." [adds lipstick] [Back to the present.] Mayor Davis: "Leni, you are a hoot. When my campaign manager arrives, send him in. It's time to talk re-election! We've got a race to win!" Leni: "If you're going to run a race, my sister Lynn says you should always do some warmups." [does jumping jacks] Mayor Davis:[laughs] "Leni, I don't think-" Leni: "Come on, Mayor! Get that blood pumping!" [Mayor Davis shrugs and joins her in doing jumping jacks] "Three, four, five..."
[Later, at Mayor Davis's office.] Vic: "Alright, first things first. If anyone runs against you, we dig up some grade-A dirt on them. It worked like a charm the last election." [It's revealed Davis's previous opponent was Flip.] "Then, we stage a ton of photo ops with you playing your keyboard. Voters say sound effects are quote-'fun and relatable'. Also, kissing babies is so last election. People are really into their pets now." [Picks up his pet lizard.] "I figured you could get in some smooch practice on my stepdaughter's Gila monster." [Mayor Davis sighs as he approaches her with the lizard, but Leni knocks on the door.] Leni: "Mayor Davis, sorry to interrupt." [The Gila monster hisses and escapes, forcing Vic to chase it.] "I'd love to help your campaign. I've got lots of great ideas, like adding flavors to the drinking fountains. People would hydrate if they could choose kiwi or pomelo water. Or a new vest for crossing guards. I'm working on a concept." [shows an image on her phone of Rita in the concept] Vic:[bruised while carrying the Gila monster] "Huh. Those ideas are terrible." [Leni gasps] Mayor Davis: "Now, now, Vic. Leni, I like your enthusiasm, but running for mayor takes more than quirky ideas." [Leni whines and leaves.] Vic: "Pucker up, Mayor Davis." [Holds the Gila monster, already puckered up. Mayor Davis groans]
[Night at the Loud House. Most of the Louds are eagerly eating spaghetti for dinner, but Leni isn't interested and stares dejectedly.] Lynn Sr.: "Not bad, if I do say so myself!" Luan: "Good, Dad!" Leni:[Snaps] "My ideas are not terrible!" [The rest of the Louds pause their eating.] Rita: "Sweetie, what are you talking about?" Leni:[Annoyed] "I pitched ideas for the mayor's re-election campaign, and her meanie campaign manager hated them. I have good ideas, you know, like new comfy cushions for all those old lumpy school bus seats!" Lincoln: "Now that you mention it, my butt has been numb since kindergarten." Leni:[stepping on the table] "Or keeping stores open past nine! Has anyone heard of night people?!" Lucy: "Preach." Leni:[stands on the table] "Or longer green lights so you can get to the movies in time for the previews!" Rita:[Excitedly] "Wow, sweetie, those are great ideas!" Lana: "If you were running for mayor, I'd vote for ya. If I could vote." Lincoln: "Me, too!" Lola: "Me, three!" Leni: "Ooh, love that idea!"
[At the Royal Woods Mall, Lana, Hops, Lincoln, Lynn, and Lisa are building a stage for Leni's campaign while Luan prepares whoopee cushions for marketing purposes. Lola is overseeing the progress.] Lola: "Lower, Lincoln." [Lincoln is adjusting the sign and lowers it] "No, higher!" [Lincoln moves it higher] "Lower!" [Lincoln moves it so low he falls] "Okay, now it's too low." [approaches Luan and picks up and reads a whoopee cushion] "Leni Loud isn't full of hot air! Seriously? As campaign manager, I absolutely did not approve whoopee cushions." Luan: "Leni never said you were her campaign manager." Lola: "She didn't say it, Luan, but I'm the obvious choice! Leni and I have the same sophisticated vision." Leni:[approaches] "Ooh, farts!" [presses a whoopee cushion] "So fun." [Luan giggles, Lola growls] "Okay, guys, I'll catch you after the rally. Wish me luck!" [She leaves. The other two girls wave goodbye.]
[Mayor Davis and Vic are at the mall; Vic takes all the free yogurt samples from the tray.] Vic: "Why pay when samples are free? That's old Vic's motto." [Meanwhile Leni is making a speech on the stage.] Leni:[on a microphone] "I'm Leni Loud, and I would like to be your new mayor!" Mayor Davis:[flabbergasted] "Leni's running for mayor?!" Vic:[scoffs] "Well, here's to an easy victory for you." Leni: "If you vote for me, I'll have a no-tax shopping day here at the mall! You have a right to buy a poncho and have money left for a calzone!" [The crowd cheers] Mayor Davis:[drops her yogurt in shock] "Wait. Are people actually listening to her?!" Vic:[the Gila monster steals the yogurt off his hand and eats it] "Relax. The Vicster's got this." [notices his yogurt is gone] "Huh?"
[Vanzilla, bearing Leni on the top, drives to Tall Timbers Park] Leni:[speaking into a megaphone] "Voters, have you noticed there's no cell service at Tall Timbers Park? When I snap a cute nature selfie," [takes a selfie] "I wanna post it now! Mother Nature deserves five bars!" [The crowd clap and cheer.] Residents: "Genius!" "What a relief!" Vic:[pulls over in his own truck with a caricature of a baby Leni] "Is this what you want? An inexperienced baby for mayor? Vote for Davis, a grown adult!" [drives off] Rita:[Fiercely] "Oh, no, he did not!" [To Leni] "Hold on, sweetie!" [She starts Vanzilla and drives off. Vic is laughing, but notices Vanzilla behind him.] Vic: "Wha-?" [The van drives side-by-side with the truck. They talk through the side windows.] Rita: "Oh, you wanna play? Let's play!" Lola:[Threateningly] "You messed with the wrong FAMILY, BUDDY!" [Rita speeds off, but crashes into a pond, messing up Lola and Leni's makeup. Vic and the Gila monster give an aside glance] Rita: "Oops." [Vic stops and laughs in victory before driving off.] Lola:[gets out of Vanzilla] "Leni, as your campaign manager, I am telling you, WE HAVE TO HIT BACK!" Leni: "Lola, that's not my campaign. Mayor Davis may play icky, but I don't." [Lola groans] "Let's go. We've got a big debate tomorrow." [Picks off some of her makeup.] "I've got to deal with this mascara situation, and my stance on economic stimulus."
[At Royal Woods High School, Leni and Mayor Davis are in a debate] Leni: “…and as mayor, I'd make opening more nail salons my number one priority.” Mayor Davis: "Hah. I'd wish there was a manicure for all my opponent's wacky ideas." [The crowd laughs with Mayor Davis. Luna, Lisa, Lola, and Lucy are watching from backstage.] Lucy: "She's dying up there. In a bad way." Mayor Davis:[looks at Vic; he nods] "Voters, family values matter to all of us, so the kind of family a mayor comes from is important. Frankly, the Louds are out of control." [Leni gasps] "They were banned from every pool in town, they created a zombie scare, and have you ever eaten in a restaurant with them? Trust me, it's not pretty." [Lola is so incensed she tries to march up to the podium, but Luna, Lisa, and Lucy catch her. Leni also has a mean look.] "Are those the family values we want? I certainly don't. Vote Davis!" [whips out a keyboard and jams out to her supportive crowd, while Leni storms off stage.] Leni:[Angrily] "Nobody talks about my family like that. We are so hitting back."
[That night, Leni sneaks into City Hall with Lynn and the twins.] Lola: "OK, team. We need something super juicy on Mayor Davis. Now let's get digging." Lana:[she and Hops have shovels] "On it. Wait, where's the dirt?" Lynn: "It's just an expression, Lans." Lana: "Aw, man." [She and Hops throw their shovels to the carpet while Lola and Lynn proceed.] Leni: "Shh. You have to be quiet or we're gonna get-" [Lynn plays some keyboard music, Leni hides in a potted plant and Lola eats the documents she was perusing] "Lynn, turn that off!" [Leni unplugs the keyboard, but notices something juicy on it and smirks. Lola takes a snapshot and snickers maliciously.]
[The next day, Leni gives a speech in front of City Hall] Leni: "It's time Royal Woods knew the truth. Mayor Davis bought her keyboard at Toots 'n' Tunes, which is in... Hazeltucky!" [A few reporters gasp and faint] "Do you want a mayor who doesn't bother to shop in her own town? Ick, I certainly don't! I'm Leni Loud, and I shop local a lot!" [Mayor Davis is watching Leni's speech in her office, and trembles] Vic: "Don't worry, Mayor Davis. Old Vicko's gonna take care of this."
[Leni is making a speech at Sunset Canyon Retirement Home] Leni: "Society must modernize, and that's why I support a new touchscreen pudding machine." [The elders cheer] Scoots: "Yadda-yadda. Enough of the sweet talk. When're you gonna fling some more mud at Davis? Mama needs drama!" Leni: "Sorry, no more playing dirty from Leni Loud's campaign. Swearsies!" [Scoots blows a raspberry, and the elders leave. Suddenly, Lola comes rushing in a panic showing a flyer to Leni.] Lola: "Leni, look what Mayor Davis is mailing out to people!" [hands a flyer detailing Leni wearing denim on denim with the phrase "DENIM ON DENIM WHO DOES THAT?? NOT MAYOR DAVIS!"; Leni is horrified] "Huh. That is a tragic amount of denim." Leni:[Determined] "Okay, now it's personal!"
[At the Loud House, Lincoln shows Leni an ad he had made.] Lincoln:[narrating] "Everybody loves cat videos, right?" [The ad plays heavily doctored footage of Mayor Davis] Mayor Davis: "I certainly don't. I'd wish they were banned and never came back." Lincoln:[narrating] "Do you want a cat hater in the mayor's office? Well, I certainly don't! Vote Leni Loud. This ad was paid for by the First Bank of Lola." Leni: "Wow, Lincoln. That ad was really harsh and totally untrue." [fist bumps her brother] "Love it!" [Another ad pops up. The two siblings perk up in surprise.] Vic:[narrating] "Leni Loud failed her driving test fourteen times. How do you know she won't drive over your rights or family?" [Leni gasps and then growls in retaliation. Cue a montage of Mayor Davis and Leni throwing shade at each other.] Mayor Davis: "Leni Loud supports mandated makeovers!" Leni: "Did you know that Mayor Davis wears open-toed shoes in the winter?" Mayor Davis: "She's not a natural blonde." Leni: "She hates Flippees. OMGosh!" [The two candidates growl at each other.]
[The next day at Royal Woods High School. There's a banner labeled OMGOSH! LENI LOUD RALLY TODAY!!!. Indoors, Leni's supporters are waiting for her final speech, some of whom are carrying "OMGosh!" banners.] Crowd:[chanting] "OMGosh! OMGosh!" [Backstage, Leni is getting ready with a fierce look as Lola is massaging her shoulders and Lana has a drink ready. Lisa is reading the analysis.] Lisa: "Leni, you're in a deadlock with Mayor Davis. Statistically speaking, you could win this race." Lola:[Threateningly] "Now listen up, this is your last speech before the election. I need you to go out there and THROW THAT FINAL PUNCH!" [Turns Leni's face towards her.] "TAKE MAYOR DAVIS DOWN, GOT IT?!" [Leni nods and approaches the stage, greeting her supporters.] Crowd:[still chanting] "OMGosh! OMGosh!" Leni: "'OMGosh' is right! Like, can we talk for a sec about how Mayor Davis is-" Crowd member 1: "Really bad at mayoring?!" [The crowd jeer in incense.] Leni: "Uh, no. I was gonna say-" Crowd member 2: "A loud sneezer we should shun forever?!" [The audience is even more incensed. One of them is holding a 'No' sign over Mayor Davis' head and another breaks an electrical with her head.] Crowd:[chanting] "Shun her forever! Shun her forever!" [As the audience keeps chanting, Lola approaches Leni on the podium] Lola: "How great is this going, huh? Girl, you've got it in the bag now!" Leni:[Whispering] "This doesn't feel right. It feels icky!" Lola: "Icky is good! Icky wins the race!" Crowd:[chanting] "She's the worst! She's the worst!" Leni: "No, stop! Mayor Davis is not the worst!" [The crowd stops chanting] Crowd member 2: "What?" Leni: "She may have run a nasty campaign, but Mayor Davis is a really nice person, and she's done a lot of awesome things for Royal Woods, like cleaning up Tall Timbers Park and founding the annual cherry pit spit. You all love spitting pits, remember?" [The crowd silences and agrees] "If anyone's the worst, it's me. I said a bunch of mean and untrue stuff, and I'm sorry. It's not who I am. From now on, my campaign is just about fun new ideas, whether I win or lose. Swearsies!" [The crowd disperses] Scoots: "Boo! You're weak, Loud!" [Wheels away.]
[Back at the Loud House, Leni lies on her bed and listening to the news on her phone.] Announcer: "And a big congratulations to Theresa Davis, who has won a very close race to be re-elected Mayor of Royal Woods." [Leni sighs. Her parents arrive in her bedroom.] Lynn Sr.: "Hey, hon. Your mom and I just came to say we're so ding-dang proud of you." Leni: "But I lost the election." Rita: "Sure, but you realized staying true to yourself was more important than winning." Leni: "In that case, I'm proud of me, too." [Her parents hug her.]
[Royal Woods Mall, Leni is about to cut the ribbon for Mayor Davis] Leni: "OK, mayor, here are the scissors for the ribbon-cutting. I painted them pink to coordinate with your outfit." Mayor Davis: "Leni, you're the best intern and a formidable opponent. The way you ran your campaign, it inspired me. I fired Vic. No more dirty tricks for this gal." Leni: "Swearsies?" Mayor Davis: "Swearsies." [Giggles] "Folks, I'm proud to announce Royal Woods Mall's very first no-tax shopping day, but I can't take credit for this fun new idea. Leni, would you do the honors?" [Leni cuts the ribbon, and the crowd cheers] Vic:[skulking nearby while the Gila monster tries to eat the yogurt] "I should have just run for mayor myself. You'd vote for old tricky Vic, wouldn't you, buddy?" [He pulls the tray of yogurts away, but the lizard attacks him, causing him to scream. The yogurts drop to the floor.]
