[The episode begins early morning at the Loud House, the siblings, except Leni, are in their pajamas eating cereal and watching TV.] Leni:[Offscreen] "Hey guys, anyone seen my bus pass?" Lori: "Did you check your purse?" Leni: "Thanks, I got it. Did someone take the credit card?" Lola: "Check your purse." Leni: "Oh, right. Wait, my shopping list." Lisa: “The purse, woman!” Leni:[Walking in] "Culottes, jeans, pom-pom sweater." Lincoln: "Going shopping, Leni?" Leni: "Not just shopping. Reiningers is having a huge two day, 25% off blowout sale, and I made up a dream shopping list for it. Yay, new wardrobe!" [She leaves, as her siblings bid her adieu.] Leni's Siblings: "Good luck, Leni." "Happy saving!" [They continue munching at their cereal.] Leni: "Shoot, where did I put my purse?" Leni's Siblings: "Check your arms." [They return to their breakfast. A few hours later, they are in their regular clothes eating lunch.] Leni:[Offscreen] "I'm back." [The siblings look in shock to see that their sister has been beaten up. She is shown with a plaster around her jaw, her messed up dress, a cracked lens on her sunglasses, and is missing her left sandal.] Lana: "Are you okay, Leni? Did you wrestle a bear?" Lynn: "Where's your stuff?" Leni: "I didn't get any of it." Lori: "What? Why?" Leni: "Well, you know how shoppers can be. Sometimes, they're a little grabby and pushy. And claw-y and shove-y." Lola: "Ah, wait, did you let a bunch of greedy bargain hunters take your stuff?!" Leni: "I don't mind. I'll just make new clothes with my old ones. Yay!" [Claps to herself in excitement, then goes upstairs] Lori:[Takes out the remote] "Poor Leni. This always happens. She's too nice for her own good." [Lola takes the remote from Lori and starts channel surfing.] Lisa: "It's true, her submissive nature makes her easy prey." [Lucy takes the remote from Lola.] "Much like the baby wildebeest of the Serengeti." Lana: "She needs to learn how to be a little tougher." Lola: "A little meaner." [Gets into a fist fight with Lucy over the remote.] Lynn:[Joining the fight] "More aggressive." Lola:[To Lucy] "I WANT THE REMOTE!" [The other sisters, except Lily, join the fight.] Lori: "Give me that remote back!" Lincoln:[Who also wasn't in the fight, but manages to grab the remote anyway and use it.] "More like us." [Cuts to Leni sewing something in her room while her siblings come in.] Lincoln: "Leni, how would you like to go back to that sale tomorrow, and get everything you wanted?" Leni: "That's okay. I'm fine. [Shows what she's sewing] Look! I turned this nightgown into jeans! [realizes] Oh, wait. Now I don't have a nightgown. [Gets some other jeans] "Ooooh, I can make one out of these other jeans!" [The siblings shake their heads.] Luan: "Leni, [sits Leni down] You need to learn to stand up for yourself." Lana: 'Yeah, you don't wanna be wilted-beets in the spaghetti!" Lisa: "Meh, close enough." Lori: "But don't worry, we're to teach you how to become a more assertive, decisive person!" Leni: "Well, okay. If you guys want. I'm just happy when you're happy." Lincoln:[facepalms; sighs] "We have a lot of work to do."
[Later, outside the bathroom.] Lincoln: "Tomorrow, you're going back to that mall as a new Leni. And the new Leni doesn't let people cut ahead of her in line." [Leni nods, and Lincoln calls out to everyone.] "Ten, hut." [The other sisters are lined up along the wall, Luan approaches Leni.] Luan: "Now, you're number one in the bathroom line. Don't let anyone make you number two.[Laughs] Get it?" Leni: I don't. But don't worry! No one's gonna cut! Lynn:[acting; groans] "I'm feeling the surprise part of Dad's taco surprise! Oh, you gotta let me cut, Leni!" Leni: "Oh, you poor thing! Go right ahead!" [The other siblings groan.] Lola: "Alright. Step aside and watch a pro do it. Lori, your assistance." Lori:[clears throat; acting] "I'm in a hurry, Lola! Let me cut!" [Lola growls; Lori tries to cut, but Lola starts attacking her.] Lori: "Ow! How are you so freakishly strong?!" Lola:[pinning Lori down] "I HOPE YOU LIKE THE TASTE OF FLOOR!!" Leni:[taking notes] "Tackle, pin, catchphrase. Got it!" [Cuts to out in the backyard. The kids, minus Leni and Luna, pile some clothes on a table.] Luna: "Second lesson, the new Leni isn't afraid to go after what she wants." [pointing to the table] "There's some rockin' threads on that clearance table, but you got major peeps blockin' your way. What are you gonna do, dude?" Leni:[With determination] "I'm gonna get those threads!" [Marches up to the table with a serious look on her face, and politely taps Lynn on the shoulder.] "So sorry, would you mind moving?" [Tries to find an opening] "No? I can wait until your ready." [Walks away, as her siblings at the table sigh] Luna:[Pushes Leni back. And to Lynn.] "Yo, LJ, show her how it's done." Lynn: "With pleasure." [Runs off, and returns wearing her football helmet.] "Hut, hut." [paints black lines on her face.] "Take a hike!" [Rampages her siblings like football, spins a sweater over her head to celebrate, and starts doing a victory dance on it, much to Lori's chagrin.] Lori: "Hey! Bobby gave me that sweater!" [Shoots Lynn a dirty look, while Lily gives an oblivious smile.] Leni:[Taking notes] "Run, block, do a dance. Got it!" [Cuts to the kitchen.] Lucy: "Third lesson, protecting your property." [Hands Leni a phone charger, which Leni takes.] "The new Leni doesn't let greedy shoppers steal her stuff." Lana: "That phone charger is the only working one in the house. Your goal is to hold onto it, no matter what." Leni:[Still missing the point of these training sessions, gets up.] "Oh, it's okay," [gives Lana the charger] "I can use the land line." Leni's Siblings:[Annoyed] "Leni, no!" [put her back in the chair.] Lana: "Put yourself first!" Lori:[Takes the charger, sighs, and goes to the other side of the kitchen.] "I'll show you how it's done. I've been protecting my junk from you guys for seventeen years." [wraps the charger around her under arm.] "The key is to use a good, firm armpit grip." [To her other siblings] "Alright, come at me." [They attack her while Leni remains seated.] Leni:[Taking notes] "Armpit tuck, fall on floor, protect vital organs." [Leaves without saying anything else.] Lori: "You got it yet, Leni?!" [Not realizing that Leni has already left.] "Ow! Leni!"
[The next day, Leni and her siblings are waiting in a long line of customers at Reiningers.] Leni: "Thank you guys for all of your help. I'm so excited about the new Leni! Just one question: Where did the old Leni go?" [Just then, Miguel shoves in front of Leni like she's not even there. Her siblings are not happy.] Luna: "Hey dude! Bogus!" Leni:[Clenching her fists, and making a face.] "I got this creep." [Attacks him the same way Lola did to Lori the day before, pins him to the ground.] "I hope you like the taste of flan!" [Turns to her astonished siblings.] "Was it 'flan' or 'floor'? I heard flan." Lola: "Doesn't matter. [Runs up to her] You're a queen!" [The guy runs away. Meanwhile, one of the store employees nervously opens the doors, and everyone starts rushing in. Leni makes a determined face, and rushes in as well. She makes her way to a swimsuit section, but sees a bunch of other women taking the swimsuits.] Leni: "Hut, Hut. Take a hike!" [Leni shoves the women out of her way to reach the swimsuits. She gets one and starts doing a dance, with Lincoln and Lynn joining in.] Lynn: "Woo! All day long, baby!" [Next, Leni grabs a sweater of the rack, and some lady tries to steal it from her, but Leni grabs it.] Leni:[Struggling] "Hey! It's mine! Don't even think about it!" [Hip checks the lady into a pile of clothes] [Cuts to a montage of Leni grabbing clothes before others could get to them and puts them in her bag. The siblings watch Leni dragging two girls for a sweater, who also has a grip on it, but Leni takes it from them. The girls start attacking Leni, but she ends up winning and is twirling the sweater around.] Leni's Siblings: "Yaaaay!" [Leni is now at the check-out line. Her siblings walk over.] Luna: "You rocked!" Luan: "Yay, Leni!" Lana: "You crushed it!" Leni: "A new wardrobe! I can't believe it." Lynn: "Ah, we gotta celebrate. Pretzels and sodas. On Lincoln." Lincoln: "Wait, why me?" Leni: "Thanks, Lincoln. Meet you guys at the food court." [The siblings leave while a guy cuts in front of her. The obnoxious guy who cut in front of her earlier addresses this.] Obnoxious Guy: "I wouldn't do that." [points to Leni] [The guy who just cut in front of Leni turns around, sees Leni preparing to bull charge him, and dives under the barrier, making a run for it. Leni smiles at this, while the obnoxious guy just keeps to himself. Cut to the siblings at the food court.] Luan: "Wow. Leni really malled the competition." Lucy: "People are going to think twice before crossing her." Lola: "We changed her life." [raises her soda] "To us!" Siblings: "To us!" [clink their sodas together] [Cuts back to Leni.] Leni:[going through her clothes] "Hmm." [pulls out a top] "This top is perfect for a cozy Saturday." [pulls out the sweater] "And this sweater will look so good with my new nightgown jeans." [puts it back] Mrs. Parker: "Are you sure you don't have any more of those polka-dot swimsuits?" [The clerk shakes her head.] "That's all my granddaughter wants. Well, that and for me to live forever but I can't promise that." Leni:[Seeing that she had one, calls to Mrs. Parker.] "Here!" [Mrs. Parker walks up to her, and Leni takes her suit out.] "You should take mine." Mrs. Parker: "Oh!" [Takes it] "You angel. Amy will be so happy." [Mrs. Parker walks off, and another woman walks past but notices Leni's sweater.] Woman:[Admires the sweater] "That sweater is so cute, where'd you get it?" Leni: "I think this was the last one." Woman:[Disappointed] "Oh, it's hard finding sweaters that won't give me what my doctor calls 'Category Five Rashes'." [Laughs] "That's me, allergic to almost every fabric." [Starts off] "Well, enjoy it." Leni: "Wait! I can't imagine how awful that would be, " [offers her the sweater] "here, take mine." Woman:[Happy] "Aw, that is so sweet." [Takes the sweater] "Thank you." [Just then a guy runs past and drops his credit card. Leni picks it up.] Leni:[to the guy] "Excuse me, is your name "American Bank"?" Tie Guy:[comes back] "Oh my stars, I am so stressed about finding a tie for my anniversary, that I must've dropped it! [Leni gives it back to him.] 25 years, it's a big one." Leni: "You know, I'd be glad to help you." Tie Guy: "But you'd lose your place in line." Leni:[grabs her bag and gets out of the line.] "That's okay. This is more important." [She and the guy leave to find a tie. Meanwhile back at the food court...] Lincoln:[drinking his soda] "Yep. Today could be the start of a whole new life for Leni." [The siblings start fantasizing about Leni's future. Starting with her being the CEO of a major fashion corporation, and giving a presentation.] Imaginary Leni: "The ABCs of being a CEO." [Next, fantasy Leni is signing copies of a book titled Taste the Flan written by herself. Then they fantasize Leni being on a talk show.] Interviewer: "Ms. Loud, you're the head of a fashion company, the best-selling author of Taste the Flan, and a role model for young women. To what do you attribute your success?" Imaginary Leni: "Well, I really owe it all to my siblings. See, there was this two-day blowout sale..." [The siblings continue fantasizing, completely unaware of what Leni's doing back at Reiningers.] Leni:[Giving a dress to a teen girl] "Problem solved! Now you'll have something to wear to the dance." [They hug. Next, she gives a woman a blouse.] "You came all the way from Cheboygan for a flutter sleeve blouse? You should have it." [Giving some guy her culottes.] "Please, there'll be other culottes." [Giving a lady some pants.] "Send me a picture, I wanna see how those gaucho pants look on you." [Leni finally gets to the front of the line, and puts the only thing she has left on the counter.] Cashier: "This is a great find. I wish I had time to browse the racks." Leni: "Oh, well, why don't you take it?" Cashier: "Oh, oh, I couldn't do that, this is all you have and you've been waiting in line for so long." Leni: "It's okay, I wouldn't even be shopping here, if it weren't for people like you working so hard." [Leaves, while the cashier smiles, and gives the obnoxious guy who cut in front of her earlier a salute, he yelps and takes cover. Meanwhile, back at the food court...] Lola: "No, the castle Leni's gonna live in, will have three swimming pools!" Lincoln: "Oh, and a chocolate fountain!" Lana: "A zoo!" Lola:[noticing Leni] "There she is!" Leni:[as her siblings cheer] "Hey, you guys!" Lincoln:[noticing something] "Uh, Leni, where are your bags?" Leni: "Oh, I didn't buy anything. I gave all my clothes away." Lynn: "What?! After all our training?!" Lincoln: "What happened to the new Leni?!" Leni: "She wasn't really me. I'm sorry, you guys. It did feel good to get what I wanted, but it felt even better to give other people what they wanted." Luan: "Leni, we're worried about you. How are you going to make it in life if you keep putting yourself last?" Lori:[holds up her phone; Bobby is on the other line.] "Boo-Boo Bear and I cannot support you forever." Mrs. Parker:[Walks up to Leni] "Oh, there you are, dear!" [holds up a present] 'I got you a little something to say thanks." Leni:[takes the present] "Awwww, you shouldn't have! I hope your granddaughter loves the suit." Mrs. Parker: "I know she will." [walks away] "I wish more young people were as sweet as you are." Lola: "Presents are nice, but you know what's nicer? All those clothes you gave away!" [Just then, a waiter comes in with a cart of fries.] Waiter: "Excuse me, young miss. We have the number three combo, with fries, for everyone in your party, courtesy of that woman over there." [The woman from before waves to Leni, and gestures to the sweater Leni gave her.] Leni:[Applauding, while Lola takes the fries.] "Yay! You look great! No rashes." [Just then, the tie guy and his wife walk up to Leni.] Tie Guy's Wife: "Excuse me, Miss." [Her husband loves the tie] "Thank you so much for helping my hubby. He has never looked so cute." Tie Guy:[Pulls out a gift card] "We got you a gift card to the fro-yo shop." Leni: "That's so sweet of you, that's my favorite place." [The lovely couple starts off.] "Happy anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Bank." [The couple has no clue what that means.] Lori: "Leni, it's great that all these people are doing nice things for you," [eats a fry] but I still think it's more important that you-" Ms. Carmichael:[Walks up to Leni and shakes her hand.] "Excuse me, I wanted to meet you. I'm Ms. Carmichael, I'm the manager of Reiningers, and I've been hearing such wonderful things about you. You know, we could use a sales employee with great customer service skills." Leni: "Great, let me think about it, and get back to you with some names." [Her siblings clear their throats and gesture to her, and Leni realizes.] "Oh, you mean me." Ms. Carmichael: "Hours are flexible, and employees get a fifty percent discount on all merchandise." Leni:[Touched with pupils dilated] "It's like there's a blowout sale happening in my heart." Ms. Carmichael: "I'll take that as a yes." [Leni's siblings smile] "And stop by whenever to fill out paperwork." Leni:[As she and Ms. Carmichael leave.] "I'll see you back at home, guys." Lincoln: "Wow, we were so wrong about Leni." Lynn:[Eating her fries] "Yeah, guess we don't have to worry about her after all." Lola:[Looking at her fries] "Hmm, if being nice does that much for Leni, I wonder what it could do for me. [She gets up from her seat holding her fries and walks up to the obnoxious guy.] Hey, mister! How would you like my fries?" Obnoxious Guy: "Oh, no thank you. I’m trying to watch my cholesterol." Lola:[Starts frowning] "Go ahead. Take them." Obnoxious Guy: "No, really. I'm good." Lola:[Threateningly] "TAKE THE FRIES!" Obnoxious Guy:[Screams] "What is up with this mall?!" [As he runs off in fear, Lola glares at him.] Lincoln: "Maybe stick to what you know, Lola."
