Script
[The day starts off normally in the Loud household, with the kids yelling and playing games related to what they like to do. Rita walks past them into the kitchen, where she shows a newspaper to Lynn Sr., who is cooking.]
Rita: "Lynn, check this out."
Lynn Sr.: [Unable to hear Rita over all the noise] "Who has gout?"
Rita: "No, I said look at this."
Lynn Sr.: [Still can't hear] "I'm not cooking fish!"
[As the kids are still playing and making noise, Rita gives Lynn Sr. signals to go inside Vanzilla, where it is quieter. Once they both get in Vanzilla, they sigh in relief.]
Lynn Sr.: [Still yelling] "Wow, it gets loud--" [He realizes how loud he is talking, so he lowers his voice] "...in there. What's up?"
Rita: "Remember when I said I needed a new writing challenge now that my novel is done?"
Lynn Sr.: "Yes."
Rita: "And then I was hoping I could make writing my full-time career?"
Lynn Sr.: "Yes."
Rita: [reveals the newspaper to Lynn Sr.] "Ba-bam!...I-I heard Lynn Jr. say that. Anyway, look. The Royal Woods Gazette is looking for a writer to pen a weekly parenting column."
Lynn Sr: "Wow! You're the perfect fit for this. You'll totally slay." [Rita is confused] "I heard Leni say that. Anyway, you should definitely go for it."
Rita: "Thanks, honey. I'm gonna email my resume right away." [she opens the car door only for her and Lynn Sr. to start hearing the noise the kids are making again. This causes Rita to close the door] "Well, in a few minutes."
[They lean back and relax]
[Rita is working in the garden when she gets a phonecall]
Rita: [Answers] "Hello?"
Jesse: "Rita Loud? Jesse Hiller from The Royal Woods Gazette, here's the headline; I think you're a perfect candidate for the columnist job, our readers would love to hear how a mother of eleven keeps it together, in our new column 'Perfect Parenting'."
Rita: [Realizes] "Hold on. Perfect Parenting?"
Jessie: "Stop the presses, is there a problem?"
[Rita looks in the window and sees... Lola using her teddy bear as a shield while Lana chases her with a water gun, Luna rocking out, Luan with two pies, a dirty diaper being thrown onto the window and Lily marching by]
Lily: "Poo-poo."
[Lincoln gets a pie in the face while reading a comic book. Rita gets nervous]
Rita: [Sighs] "No problem at all, if you want perfect parenting advice, you've come to the right place."
Jesse: "Wonderful! Then the last step is going on the record with an in-person interview."
Rita: "Great, just tell me when it's convenient and I'll come by your office."
Jesse: "Oh no, I want to see you in action, like The Gazette 's afternoon delivery, I'll be on your doorstep at three."
Rita: "Gah! I mean, great, see you then." [Rita hangs up and sighs] "No problem, I've totally got this."
[Just then Lisa's lab explodes]
Lisa: "I'm okay, do we have any industrial strength glue?"
[Inside, Rita is explaining her situation to the kids]
Rita: "I can't stress enough how important this interview is kids, I really want this job, so I need all of you to be perfect."
[The kids resent the idea]
Lola: "Being good is hard enough, I don't know if we can reach perfect."
Lynn: [Buzzer sound] "Spoiler! We can't."
Lucy: "Sigh."
Lily: "Ga ga."
Lucy: "This is worrisome."
Lisa: "Highly impractical."
Rita: "Okay, okay, how about this? If I get the job, I'll take you to Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet for a celebration dinner."
[The kids love the idea]
Lincoln: "You can count on us Mom."
Lana: "Yeah, we are gonna impress the snot out of this lady."
[Starts picking her nose. Lisa stops her]
Lisa: "Yeah, uh, we don't need an illustration."
Lori: "Come on guys, let's go get perfect."
[They all go upstairs. The pets give Rita dirty looks]
Rita: "Yes I know, bribery isn't perfect parenting, but I want this job."
[At three o'clock, Jesse arrives at the door]
Rita: "Why Ms. Hiller, welcome to my home."
Jesse: [Enters] "Hello Rita." [In regards to her rather formal attire] "Headline, you look lovely. Subhead, your home is immaculate."
[The Loud house is very clean. Rita giggles and picks up a muffin basket]
Rita: "Would you care for a homemade blueberry muffin or some fresh-squeezed lemonade?"
Jesse: [Takes a muffin] "Oh, you really do have it all together don't you?"
[Eats a muffin, and Rita sees Cliff dragging a 'Store Brand Muffins' box into the living room. Charles pushes them away and Rita is relieved]
Rita: "Would you like to meet my little angels?" [Jesse nods and Rita rings a handbell] "Oh children."
[The kids come downstairs single file, wearing matching outfits, in birth order]
Lori: "I'm Lori."
Leni: "I'm Leni."
Luna: "Luna at your service."
Luan: "I'm Luan."
Lynn: "Lynn Loud Jr."
Lincoln: "Lincoln."
Lucy: "Hello, I'm Lucy."
Lana: "Lana, nice to meet you."
Lola: "Lola Loud, charmed I'm sure."
Lisa: "Lisa Loud, PhD."
Lily: "Lily."
Jesse: "Well, aren't you all a delight. Now tell me. What's it like having a mom like yours?"
Luna: "Excellent question Dude. Uh, Ma'am. I think we can best answer it in song."

[Lily is waterscooting down the stairs]

Rita's Thoughts: "Dear Manic at Mealtime," [Lola is about to take some pizza, when Lucy swoops down by her bats] "if your kids are picky eaters, just arrange their veggies into a beautiful mosaic," [Luna is about to grab some pizza, when Leni swipes it, Luna jumps on her and they fight] "and invite them to eat a masterpiece." [Mr. Coconuts waves at Lincoln]
[Rita gradually writes more response letters]
Rita's Thoughts: "Dear Bathtime Bungler. Dear Mall Meltdown. Dear Potty Training Patsy."
[People buy all her columns]
