[At Loud House the in snowy weather, Lynn is on top of the staircase.] Lynn: "Who's ready for some football?!" [Lynn charges down the stairs, Leni, Lola, & Luna are on the couch, but dive behind it when they hear Lynn coming. She jumps on the couch.] "Game time! Yeah! Whoo! Luna:[Holds out the remote with a shaking hand.] "TV's all yours dude, just don't tackle us." [Lynn switches to World Champion Football.] Football Announcer: "World championship of football." Leni: "Huh? That ball looks nothing like a foot." [She, Luna and Lola leave.] Lynn: "Guys, stay and watch with me, it's the world championship game, and the Lions are in it for the first time in twenty years baby!" Lola: "Okay, I don't know what any of that means." Lynn: "Well, all the teams compete in this league and-" Lola:[Stops Lynn, and clears her throat.] "Ignorance is bliss, sweetie." Lynn: "Ah, come on," [Sits on the couch] "I'll share my lucky cheese puffs." [Leni looks like she's gonna take the offer.] Leni:[Seeing the teams] "Ew, the uniforms clash, I cannot watch this." Luna: "Maybe I'll come back to see who's rockin' the half-time show." [Takes off] "Laters." [Lola follows, as does Leni.] Lynn:[Sighs, looks at Charles sitting next to her.] "Well, Charles, looks like you're my sports buddy today." [Charles yawns and leaves.] "Ah, you don't know what you're missin' mutt. Okay, cheering sections down to one, time for my pregame ritual." [She jumps down and starts crab walking.] "Go Lions go! Go Lions go!" [Does a handstand and roars.] "Left side lucky!" [Sits on the left side of the couch and watches.] "Alright, Lions, let's do this!" [The Lions score a touchdown.] Football Announcer: "Touchdown Lions." Lynn: "Ah yeah! High-five Loud." [To herself] "You got it Loud." [She high-fives herself, and suddenly hears something next door.] Mr. Grouse: "Ah yeah! Touchdown baby!" Lynn:[Confused] "What? Mr. Grouse?" [Lynn grabs her cheese puffs and heads next door, through very deep snow, she brushes it off and knocks on Mr. Grouses door.] Mr. Grouse:[Inside] "Whatever you're sellin' I'm not buyin'." Lynn: "No! Mr. Grouse, it's me! Lynn Loud!" Mr. Grouse:[Still inside] "I'm not buyin' what you're sellin', either." Lynn: "I just thought I heard you watching the game." Mr. Grouse:[Groans and opens the door.] "Well, you thought right. What of it?" Lynn: "Can I watch it with you?" Mr. Grouse: "I suppose it beats high-fiveing myself. Come on in, TVs in the den." Lynn: "Huh, you have a den?" Mr. Grouse: "I don't have time for architectural small talk, Loud, the game's on." [Lynn - holding a bag of Cheese Puffs - enters, and is amazed when she enters the den, there's Lions memorabilia everywhere.] Lynn: "Woah-ho-ho-ho-ho! Are you kidding me? This room is sick!" [Punches the air, and goes dreamy-eyed.] Mr. Grouse: "Well, I would have accepted a 'comfy', but, okay. Have a seat." Lynn:[Chucks the bag onto the couch.] "Oh, in a sec." [Starts crab walking again.] "Go Lions go! Go Lions go!" [Does a handstand and roars again.] Mr. Grouse: "What the heck are you doing?" Lynn: "It's my lucky ritual." Mr. Grouse:[Annoyed] "Oh, brother." [Mr. Grouse goes to sit down, but Lynn snaps out of her handstand and backflips onto the spot he's about to take.] Lynn: "Sorry, I need to sit on this side." Mr. Grouse: "Let me guess, more luck?" Lynn: "Yup." Mr. Grouse:[Sighs] "I'm already regretting this."
[The two watch the game, and Mr. Grouse starts smacking his lips.] Lynn:[Growls and becomes annoyed] "Do you have to make that sound?" Mr. Grouse: "Sorry, got a little pulled pork stuck in my chompers." [The camera cuts to his gums, where there's indeed pulled pork stuck inside. He continues, and Lynn, annoyed, turns the volume up.]
[Later, Lynn is eating her cheese puffs, which starts to annoy Mr. Grouse. Lynn wipes her hand on the couch pillow, staining it.] Mr. Grouse:[Angrily] "You're getting cheese dust everywhere!" Lynn: "Want some?" [Mr. Grouse takes out a suck duster and cleans the couch, and Lynn's face, and accidentally sucks in Lynn's hat.] "My lucky hat!" [She pulls it out and gets thrown off the couch. She gets up and puts her hat back on, annoyed.] "Uh, you missed a spot." [Mr. Grouse cleans and looks at Lynn.] Football Announcer: "And the Lions fumble." Lynn: "Awe! Are you kidding me?!" [Notices Mr. Grouse snoring away, and suck dusts his nose to wake him up.] "Come on, man, it's the world championship." Mr. Grouse: "Ah, get off my case. I'll just rewind to see what I missed." Lynn:[Snags the remote] "What? We can't rewind, then we won't be live!" Mr. Grouse: "What's the difference?" Lynn: "You know, maybe it's better if I watch the rest of the game at home." [Jumps off the couch - grabbing her Cheese Puffs - and starts leaving, with him staring at her.] Mr. Grouse: "Suit yourself." [While Lynn leaves, she suddenly hears the crowd, and Mr. Grouse celebrating wildly. She runs back.] Lynn:[Panics] "Ah! What happened?" Mr. Grouse: "We returned a kick, forty-one yards!" Lynn:[In despair] "Oh, dang! I missed it." Mr. Grouse: "Hold on, I'll rewind it, if Queen Lynn doesn't object." Lynn:[Ascending tone] "Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it!" [Mr. Grouse rewinds] Football Announcer: "D. Driver with a stiff arm, but it's in the Rhino territory, finally brought down after a forty-one yard return." Lynn:[Excitedly] "Oh, man, that was a wicked run!" Mr. Grouse: "I know. Uh, you can sit back down, if you want." Lynn: "Yeah, sure," [sits] "maybe just for a minute." [For the rest of the game Lynn and Mr. Grouse are seen celebrating a moment. They give a high five.] Lynn: "Yeah, baby!" Mr. Grouse: "Up top!" [They are then despairing after a negative moment.] Mr. Grouse:[Facepalming] "Oh no..." Lynn: "Why-hy-hy... Oh, come on!" [Next, they are doing Lynn's ritual together.] Mr. Grouse and Lynn: "Go, Lions, Go! Go, Lions, Go!" [Lynn does a handstand. She looks over to him surprised. The camera zooms out and shows Mr. Grouse struggling to do his handstand. He lands with a thud.] Mr. Grouse: "My back!" [Cuts to the TV. Soon the game is about to end.] Football Announcer: "Ten seconds left, and the score is tied. If the Rhinos can move the ball close enough, they can make a field goal and win." [Lynn and Mr. Grouse are very nervous.] "From the shotgun." [The Rhino player passes the ball to the quarterback and he throws it, but a Lion catches it.] "It's a Lions interception, and he's running it in for a touchdown. Lions win! The World Champions!" [Lynn and Mr. Grouse go wild, and Lynn starts shaking her butt.] Lynn: "Don't just stand there G-man, shake it." [Continues dancing, then starts pointing at him angrily.] "Dance or the Lions won't win next year." Mr. Grouse: "What? That's utter nonsense." Lynn: "It's not nonsense, it's fun. Just copy me." [Shakes her butt again] Mr. Grouse: "Eh, looks easy enough. I'll give it a try." [Dances like Lynn] Lynn: "Now you're doing it." [Cheers] Mr. Grouse:[Continues dancing] "Eh heh, eh heh, eh heh, eh heh, eh heh... [Punches the air] Whoo-hoo! I feel so alive!" [Picks up Lynn's cheese puffs and shakes the bag over his head, making it snow cheese, which Lynn enjoys. Soon, Lynn gets her coat on.] Lynn: "Thanks again for inviting me over." Mr. Grouse: "Technically, you invited yourself. I just let you stay." Lynn:[Notices something on the shelf.] "Woah, cool ball." Mr. Grouse: "That? That's my most prized possession. It's from the very first Lions game Mrs. Grouse and I went to when we were dating." Lynn: "Huh, they had football back then?" Mr. Grouse:[Sarcastically] "Yes, Miss Smarty Pants. Hey check this out, I got the QB to sign it. Look at that." Lynn:[Gasps] "He's in the hall of fame now." [Bows down] "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy." Mr. Grouse:[Laughs, and picks up an old photo of himself and Mrs. Grouse.] "Ah, Mrs. G was the only person I knew who was as big a Lions fan as me." [Puts the picture back] "Until now." [Admires his ball] "You know what?" [Picks it up] "I want you to have this, Mrs. Grouse would want it to be in such good hands." Lynn:[Amazed] "Wow, thank you Mr. Grouse. This is the best gift I've ever gotten. I have to give you something special." [Thinks, she gets an idea and takes her shoe off. She offers her socks to Mr. Grouse.] "Here, my lucky socks." Mr. Grouse:[Kind of revolted, pinches his nose.] "Wow, you wore these the whole season, didn't you?" [Lynn nods. Mr. Grouse gets a grabber and takes the socks.] "Thanks, Loud." [Lynn walks out.] Lynn: "So, guess I'll see you next season?" Mr. Grouse: "You betcha." Lynn:[Gets another idea] "You know, baseball season is only a few weeks away." Mr. Grouse: "I was thinking the same thing. Opening day?" Lynn: "It's a date." [Goes home]
[Weeks later, the snow has melted, and Lynn is wearing an orange uniform, and pumped for baseball season.] Lynn: "Who's ready for some basebaaaall?!" [Lynn - wearing a red sports uniform charges down the stairs. Leni, Lola, & Luna are on the couch, and dive behind it when they hear Lynn coming again. Luna holds out the remote with a shaking hand.] Luna: "TV's all yours dude, just don't slap our butts." Lynn: "Ah, thanks, but you guys can stay. I found a sports buddy so for the next hundred and eighty games, I'll be hangin' with Mr. Grouse. Laters!" [Heads out] Lola: "Hmm, guess I taped this pillow to my butt for nothing." [Lynn excitedly hurries to Mr. Grouse's place, and knocks on the door. He answers, wearing a turquoise sports uniform.] Lynn: "Let's go volcanos!" Mr. Grouse: "Give 'em what for, meteors." [They realize and gasp.] Lynn: "You're a Meteors fan?" Mr. Grouse: "You're a Volcano's fan? Awe!" Lynn: "But, they're bitter rivals." [The two squint at each other.] Mr. Grouse:[Looking past it] "Eh, come on. We'll make it work." [They enter the den.] Baseball Announcer: "Welcome to opening day, and the first of a three game series, between the Volcanoes and the Meteors." Lynn: "You and your Meteors are going down." Mr. Grouse: "In your dreams." [The Volcanoes are up to bat, the pitcher throws, and batter hits, Lynn and Mr. Grouse watch with anticipation.] Lynn: "Ah yeah, base hit, game on." [Later, the umpire catches the ball, Lynn is sad, and Mr. Grouse is excited.] Baseball Announcer: "Strike three, there is no stopping this Meteors pitcher." [Mr. Grouse blows raspberries at Lynn, causing her to flinch. Later, a Volcano player gets a home run.] "And he's safe at home, one to nothing Volcanos." Lynn: "Whoo! In your face, G-man!" [Mr. Grouse grumbles to himself. Later.] Baseball Announcer: "And that ball is out of here, it's a two run homer." Mr. Grouse:[Laughs] "In your own face, kid." [Lynn groans. Later, they're both cringing their foam fingers, with aggravated expressions.] Baseball Announcer: "Home run!" [Lynn breaks her foam finger and Mr. Grouse cheers.] "Meteors win!" [Mr. Grouse starts doing Lynn's victory dance.] Mr. Grouse: "Eh heh, eh heh, eh heh eh heh eh heh--" Lynn:[Interrupting angrily] "Hey! Get your own ding-dang moves. That's my victory dance." Mr. Grouse: "Well, you won't need it as long as you're a Volcano's fan." [Laughs and spins.] Lynn:[Angrily] "Ooh! That does it!" [Storms off, and returns with the football Mr. Grouse gave her.] "Here, you can have this back. I don't want any presents from traitors." Mr. Grouse:[Angrily] "Uh, fantastic. You can have your dumb smelly socks back, too." [Dumps them on Lynn's head.] Lynn: "You know what? [Angrily] We're done here." [Storms off again] Mr. Grouse:[Angrily] "We were done when you showed up in the wrong jersey." [The door slams shut. Lynn - holding the smelly sock - returns home furiously, and slams the front door.]
[On the day of the next game, Lynn is watching on the Loud's TV. Lola walks by.] Lola: "Ooh, you're watching baseball here? I thought Mr. Grouse was your sports buddy now." Lynn: "Yeah, that didn't work out," [Starts yelling] "Cause someone's a traitor!" Mr. Grouse:[Yells back] "Takes one to know one, Loud!" Lola:[Sings] "Drama." Lynn: "Stay and watch the game with me, Lols, I'll explain the rules to you." [Lola is uninterested and walks upstairs.] "See, there are nine defensive players on the diamond, and-" [The word diamond gets Lola's attention.] Lola:[Excitedly] "A diamond you say? How many karats is it? Who wears it? A pretty princess in a pink gown?" Lynn: "What? No, no, no. A diamond is another term for the field. Now the pitcher-" Lola:[Deadpan] "Yeah, no. You should stick with Mr. Grouse." [Lola goes upstairs, and Lynn is bummed, then sees Charles asleep on the couch, Charles sees Lynn, and goes, Lynn is even more sad.] Baseball Announcer: "Welcome to game two of the Volcanos and the Meteors series." [Lynn looks next door, and sighs. Later.] "Ooh, that's a shot, going back. That ball's outta here, a Volcano's home run!" Lynn: "Aw, yeah! Up high Loud!" [To herself with a deep voice] "You got it, Loud." [High-fives herself again] Baseball Announcer:[While the crowd cheers.] "And the fans are going crazy." [In the crowd, a girl high-fives her father. Lynn looks at her own hands and then looks next door, she sighs. Later, she is cringing and whining.] Baseball Announcer: "And the Meteors turn an incredible double play." Mr. Grouse:[From next door] "Woohoo! Give 'em what for, Meteors!" [Lynn is annoyed at first, but then goes over to the window.] Lynn: "Hey! Uh... Nice double play!" [Lynn doesn't get an answer and starts walking back to the couch, until she is interrupted by Mr. Grouse.] Mr. Grouse: "Thanks, Loud! That was a sweet homer before!" [Lynn excitedly goes back to the TV.] Baseball Announcer: "Strike three-- and another Meteor goes down swinging." Lynn: "--Whoo!" [Goes back to the window and calls Mr. Grouse.] "Gonna be a quick game if you guys can't hit." Mr. Grouse: "Well, I don't see your Vollame-os puttin' up any more runs." Lynn:[Laughs] "That was pretty good!" [Later, Lynn has turned the TV in the direction of the window, and is sitting on the window sill eating her cheese puffs.] Baseball Announcer: "The Meteors are up to bat. Home run, Meteors! That ball is outta here!" [Lynn is bummed out.] Mr. Grouse: "That's what I'm talking about!" [To Lynn] "Awfully quiet over there, aren't ya?" Lynn: "Just giving you a chance to celebrate, 'cause you aren't gettin' another!" Mr. Grouse: "Are we gonna do this all day? Grab your cheese puffs and get over here!" [Lynn does so. She hurries to Mr. Grouse's.] "If only your Volcanos could run bases as fast as you." [They go into the den.] Baseball Announcer: "Another Meteor strikes out." Lynn: "Whoo! I can feel the breeze from here." Mr. Grouse:[Laughs] "That's a good one." [They share the cheese puffs.] "I know baseball season just started, but uh, what are you doin' in the fall? You like hockey?" Lynn:[Competitively] "Do I?!" [The two friends high-five.]
