[Lincoln is searching through his comic book pile in his room, feeling quite bored]
Lincoln: No. No. No! Come on! I've already read all of these! (to the audience) Usually in the Loud House, weekends are like a holiday celebration to us, but today, that feeling is gone. There is absolutely nothing to do today, and we have a serious case of boredom.
[The rest of the Loud siblings are sulking in their respective rooms]
Lori: (to Leni) I am literally so bored right now, I don't even have the strength to Pick up my phone...
Leni: (to Lori; yawns) Sorry. Were you saying something?
Lori: Seriously! I'm usually having a blast talking to all of my friends 24/7, but with no one available, what else is even there to do?
Leni: Tell me about it... I'm not even in the mood for dress-making right now. I wish we could do something new for once.
Lori: I don't even care what it is I'm doing. I just want to do something.
[Cut to Rita chattering with a friend on the phone]
Rita: Yes, Cal! You asked me the same question for the seventh time!
Cal: Yes, I know! I just really want someone to take care of my babies.
Son 1: Dad! Stop that!
Daughter 1: We're 7 years old thank you very much!
Son 2: You got that right!
Cal: SHHH! I'm the phone.
Rita: Who knew Lily's cock was so huge!
[Suddenly, Lori's eyes widen and she rushes downstairs, completely erect]
Lori: What was that?
Rita: Hold on. (puts down phone) Lori, it's Cal. He's acting all stressed because he's so desperate to find a babysitter, so I thought why not send you over to do the job. Now I know you it might not something you're not interested in, but-
Lori: Are you kidding?! I'll do anything to keep myself from literally dying of boredom?
Rita: What? Really?
Lori: Yeah. All of the my friends are off busy at their jobs today, meanwhile I have the day off.
Rita: Oh! Well, in that case- (picks up phone; to Cal) Sure! You know what? Lori's totally available.
Cal: Oh, that's wonderful! In fact, if it's not asking too much, maybe you can get another one of them to assist her? I just want to keep my kids safe! That's all!
Rita: Oh certainly.
[Lincoln, Luan, and Lynn run down after hearing the news]
Lincoln: Hey! I heard you need someone to help! I can go!
Luan: Oh please! Anything to keep myself entertained!
Lynn: Pick me! I've seriously got nothing else better to do!
Lori: Guys, wait-
[Luan, Lynn, and Lincoln start inaudibly begging to be picked by Rita]
Cal: Well, it seems like they all want to go!
Rita: Sorry, Lynn and Luan. Lincoln volunteered first, so he can go.
Luan and Lynn: Aw, really?!
Lincoln: Woohoo!
Lynn: (frustrated; to Lincoln) Why do you torment us like this?
Luan: This is gonna be the longest day ever...
[Lynn and Luan leave in despair]
Rita: (to Cal) Alright. They'll be there shortly. Now, let's hurry you two.
Lori: Alright!
Lincoln: Cool!
[Rita leaves for Vanzilla]
Lori: Thanks for volunteering with me, Lincoln. Are you sure you really want to do this?
Lincoln: Of course I do! Anything to get my mind off of being bored all day, plus it'll be a fun experience. Have you ever babysat anyone else's kids?
Lori: Well, actually, no I haven't. I'm new to this too.
Lincoln: Well, I'm sure we'll have fun doing it together.
[Lori and Lincoln hurry inside Vanzilla and three drive off to Cal's.]
[Meanwhile, Cal is walking back and forth on his driveway, worrying about when Lincoln and Lori will be here.]
Cal: When are they getting here?! It feels like they've been gone for ages!
[Vanzilla drives up in front of Cal's house]
Cal: Oh! Thank goodness you're here!
Rita: Alright, you two have fun babysitting Cal's kids!
Lori and Lincoln: Bye!
Cal: Now kids, I won't be gone for long. Please make sure the kids stay safe! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a party to be at downtown! Woohoo!
Lori: So where are they?
Cal: Who?
Lincoln: The kids?
Cal: Oh! (whistles) Kids, come! Quick!
Son 1: What is it, now?
[The three kids poke their heads out of the door to see Lori and Lincoln standing with Cal. They become horrified]'
Son 1: Oh no! Another one? We have to put up with another bossy windbag?!
Daughter 1: And two of them?! This is a disaster!
Son 2: You got that right!
Son 1: Now, let's calm down. So what if there's two of them now? We can get them to buzz off just like we did with every other one before!
Daughter 1: And just how do we do that, brainiac?
Son 1: We'll think of something. Just play cool for now.
[The three kids clear their throats, put on a fake smile, and walk out calmly]
Son 1: Hello, lovely father!
Daughter 1: Hello!
Cal: Kids, meet Lincoln and Lori. (to Lori and Lincoln) Lori and Lincoln, meet my kids. (looks at watch) Oh! The party's sarting soon! Let's get a move on! [drives off quickly] So long, Louds! Stay safe!
Lincoln: ...Is your dad always this nuts?
Son 1: Trust me. You have no idea.
[Lori, Lincoln, and the three kids walk in Cal's house]
Lori: Hey. I'm sure you already know this. I'm Lori.
Lincoln: And I'm Lincoln. We come from a huge family of 11 kids.
Son 1: (acts surprised) 11 kids?!
Lincoln: Yeah. It's kind of a hassle.
Lori: So trust us, we know how to take care of kids.
Lincoln: So? What your names?
Son 1: I'm Dominic.
Daughter 1: I'm Eleanor. (to the other son) And this over here is Jeremy.
Jeremy: You got that right!
Lori: Is that all you ever say?
Jeremy: You got that right!
Eleanor: Sorry about Jeremy. He just likes to be annoying.
[Jeremy rudely elbows Eleanor. Dominic breaks them up.]
Lori: [rolls eyes] Whatever.
Lincoln: Well, it's nice to meet the three of you.
Eleanor: And it's nice to meet you three. It sure is...
Lori: So... now what?
Dominic: I think it's lunch time around now.
Lincoln: Already?
Eleanor: Yep. We have lunch at twelve.
Lori: Oh. Okay then. Uh... what does Cal have?
Lincoln: I think Rita said Cal has some fish sticks in the freezer. There's also that air fryer in his garage.
Lori: Oh! Perfect! I'll get it.
Lincoln: Let me help you with that!
[Lori and Lincoln run to the garage, after which, the three kids take off their fake smile in relief]
Eleanor: Wow. Those three look like wimps.
Dominic: Tell me about it. They're gonna be WAY too easy to get rid off.
Jeremy: You got that right.
Eleanor: Oh, I got something even better. How about while we get rid of them, we break them up too? This way, they'll never wanna love each other ever again! Ooh, that's good!
Dominic: Hmm... I think I can come up wit something for it. (huddles with Eleanor and Jeremy and whispers plan to them)
Eleanor: Ooh... sneaky!
Jeremy: You got that right!
Dominic: And it just might work perfectly! I'm so glad I came up with it all by myself!
Eleanor: (annoyed) Dude!
[Jeremy elbows Eleanor and points to Lori and Lincoln coming from front door]
Eleanor: Oh no! They're coming back! Shh! (puts on fake smile) Hello!
[Lori and Lincoln carry the heavy air fryer out of the garage, panting hard]
Lincoln: (pants) Man. How much does this thing weigh?
Lori: (pants) I know! It's like there's literally bricks in here or something!
[The two put the air fryer on the counter. Lori opens the air fryer.]
Lori: Are you literally joking?! They literally are bricks inside this thing!
Lincoln: Well that explains the weight. I gotta get some cool air. (opens up kitchen window)
Lori: Why would Cal even do this?!
Eleanor: Oh well, you know Cal. Always doing weird things.
Dominic: Very true.
Lori: I'm gonna get the fish sticks now.
Lincoln: I'll set the table for you guys.
[As the two turn their backs, Jeremy runs up to the air fryer and is about to hit it with a baseball bat. Eleanor and Dominic grab Jeremy before he can do anything.]
Eleanor: Jeremy! What are you doing?!
Dominic: I know you like causing destruction, but do you mind saving it for later?! You're gonna ruin our plan! Control yourself!
[Jeremy gives an apology nod]
[Cut to after lunch, Dominic and Jeremy walk up to Lincoln who is cleaning up the kitchen table.]
Dominic: Lincoln. Can we ask you a question?
Lincoln: Sure.
Dominic: Is it hard living with Lori?
Lincoln: What do you mean?
Dominic: Well, since we're all the same age, we've technically never really had a true eldest siblings, so we want to know what it's like. I mean, does Lori ever act bossy to you guys sometimes?
Lincoln: Sometimes she does, but it's only because she wants to keep us in order. Trust me, in a family of eleven kids, being the eldest must be really difficult.
Dominic: But still, doesn't it ever get annoying? Does she, say, make you do chores for her, or perhaps, threaten you sometimes?
[Lincoln's eyes widen, shocked by Dominic's question.]
Dominic: Well?
Lincoln: (peeved) Guys. I don't like what you're asking me!
Dominic: But is it true though? We just wanna know what's like...
Lincoln: Look. Having an eldest sibling isn't all that bad. I mean, sure she does make me clean up her room when I ask her for a ride to the comic book store, and sure, she does tend to get distracted on her phone when I ask for her help... (Lincoln starts to get annoyed at Lori) ...and sure, she does tend to think about herself from time to time, well actually, she does it all the time! I mean, she thinks she's the most important member of the family! All she ever does is blab about herself, how her life is always a wreck, how she is the one that tries to control the family! But what about me? I'm always the one who comes up with all of these plans to help the family! I'm always the one who does the hardest chores in the house! I'm the one who flipping cleans her room all the time! And does she ever say thanks! Does she ever give me any credit or look at things from my perspective! Does she ever take the time to think about someone but herself?! No! In fact, if it wasn't for me, Lori wouldn't even be able to control this family as well as she does! I can take care of this family just as, if not better, if Lori were to say move on to college and leave us!
[Lincoln freezes, shocked by his own words]
Lincoln: Oh my gosh... I'm so sorry, guys. I don't where any of that came from! Please don't think-
Dominic: Nope. That's all we needed to hear. Thank you!
Lincoln: But wait, having an eldest siblings isn't bad!
Dominic: We know! We're good!
Lincoln: I didn't mean it! Lori's not a bad person! Please let me just explain!
Dominic: No. It looks like you need some time by yourself to calm down.
Lincoln: (begs) Please don't tell Lori I said all of that!
Dominic: Don't worry. We won't...
[Dominic sneaks to Jeremy, who's hiding behind the wall]
Dominic: Did you get it all?!
[Jeremy shows voice recorder from behind his back]
Dominic: Perfect! Now let's wait for Eleanor!
[Cut to Lori relaxing on the couch on her phone, though she isn't doing anything on it. Eleanor pops up from behind the couch.]
Eleanor: Oh, Lori. I have a question for you. A very important question for you.
Lori: What is it?
Eleanor: I was just thinking, between you and Lincoln, which one of you guys would you consider the best at babysitting, or even doing things in general? You or Lincoln?
Lori: Uh, what kind of question is that?
Eleanor: Well, I just want to know what it's like being the oldest out of the family. It must be difficult. Isn't it?
Lori: You know it can be sometimes, but-
Eleanor: Have you ever wished that you could take a break from being the eldest? You know, leave the family to be on your own?
Lori: What?! No! I could never leave my family! I'm the eldest sibling, and as the eldest sibling, I have to feel like I'm needed- I mean- I have to look over my family. It's what I do.
Eleanor: Really? Uh... (sweats neverously; pauses and then clears her throat) Well, I don't think you're family is going to need you for very long.
Lori: What do you mean?
Eleanor: (gets an idea) My dad tells me that Lincoln is the man with the plan. He's always the one who says he knows best about the family. In fact, he seems so good at what he does, the family might not need you, so they'll only want Lincoln. After all, Lincoln is eleven years old. He can last longer in the family for more than you.
Lori: Look, Lincoln might be good at keeping the younger siblings in order from time to time, but he's not me! He thinks he has to be the most important member of the family! He thinks he can take care of things himself! He literally never once thinks about me and how I feel! Lincoln can't replace me! He can never! I have to be there for the family! Lincoln might think he knows what he's doing, but in the end, he'll just screw everything up! In fact compared to me, Lincoln is nothing more than just a twerp if he thinks that way! (gasps) Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I don't know what got into me! I just started thinking about leaving the family and then I started getting all scared. I didn't mean it! I-
Eleanor: Oh. It's alright. I know how hard it can be.
Lori: No! You got the wrong idea!
Eleanor: No I don't. I'm good. It looks like your family does need you after all.
Lori: Don't tell Lincoln I burst out like that!
Eleanor: Oh... I won't.
[Eleanor sneaks from behind the wall and slyly chuckles]
Eleanor: Ooh. This is SO juicy!
Dominic: Psst. Eleanor! Did you get her to say it?
Eleanor: Well, I expected her to say she wanted to leave a family as big as hers, but...
Dominic: Oh no. The plan's all ruined!
Eleanor: Wait! I think I might have something even better... (plays recording)
Dominic: Ooh! This is even better! Now, just give me sometime to edit them and soon, we can kiss those two goodbye!
Jeremy: You got that right!
[The three kids slyly snicker]
[Abruptly cut to the kids listening to Lori and Lincoln arguing upstairs]
Lincoln: (angrily) Well fine then! If you won't look at things through my way, I'll just go then. Clearly, you can handle this job all by yourself!
Lori: (angerily) Good! I don't need you anyway! Good luck trying to get home!
Lincoln: I'd rather walk home! At least then I can get you off my mind! (walks out door)
[Lincoln stomps outside of the house]
Dominic: Oh, this is perfect!
Jeremy: You got that-
Eleanor: Shh! Lori's coming!
Lori: Ugh. Sorry about that. Lincoln's being a little brat! Come on! I can take of you without him!
Dominic: Oh... we'll have some fun now.
Eleanor: But how do we get Lori out of this house?
Dominic: We can't do that! Then if Lori and Lincoln bump into each other, they'll totally find out we did this whole thing! We gotta keep Lori and Lincoln separated for now! In the meantime, why don't we have some fun with Lori... Jeremy? Would you like to do the honors?
[Jeremy gives a confused look]
Dominic: That means would you like to cause some destruction?
Jeremy: You got that right!
Eleanor: Now, the next time she's asked to babysit us, she'll never want to, and that'll be one less babysitter in the world, or should we say, two less babysitters in the world!
[Lori marches angrily to the kitchen]
Lori: Ugh! That brat! It's like he doesn't understand that I try to take care of my family too!
[Cut to Lincoln]
Lincoln: It's totally unfair! I do so much for this family, and she doesn't even thank me for it!
[Cut to Lori]
Lori: He knows he can't look after this family without me! He's just trying to replace me!
[Cut to Lincoln]
Lincoln: Who does that woman think she is?! She thinks she's the only one who can take charge?! Why can't I too?
[Cut to Lori]
Lori: I mean, sure, Lincoln does help us out from time to time, and sure, if he wasn't trying to replace me, he wouldn't be helping me too.
[Cut to Lincoln]
Lincoln: And sure, maybe Lori does do a good job at being the eldest sibling when she does, even if she can be bossy.
[Cut to Lori]
Lori: And sure... maybe Lincoln is still kind-hearted, always just trying to help. Maybe...
[Cut to Lincoln]
Lincoln: Maybe she just wants to help the family and be there for them...
Lori and Lincoln: (at the same time; side-by-side onscreen) Kind of like me... What am I doing?! I gotta go back!
Lori: Lincoln! (runs to front door) Lincoln!
Dominic: Lori! Lori!
Lori: Ah! Kids! I forgot! (runs to upstairs) Dominic! Where are you?
[Suddenly, Lori is whacked in the face by a frying pan by Jeremy.]
[Cut to Lori waking up being tied in a chair in the kids' bedroom.]
Dominic: You keep your mouth shut!
[Lori tries to wiggle off through the ropes, but she remains stuck]
Lincoln: Lori! Lori! It's me, Lincoln! Listen! I just wanted to say-
[Eleanor opens the door to see Lincoln]
Eleanor: (nervous) LINCOLN! What are you doing here?!
Lincoln: I need to speak to Lori. Do you know where she is, Eleanor?
Eleanor: Uh... she says she doesn't want to speak to you! Ever!
Lincoln: But I gotta tell her something! She needs to hear what I have to say! (hears a muffled scream) What was that?!
Eleanor: Uh... nothing! We're all good! Look! Lori doesn't want to see you! She said it herself! She doesn't need you!
Lincoln: That's alright! I still need to-
Eleanor: Just go away! We don't want a babysitter! I mean-
Lincoln: What is going on here?!
Eleanor: I said go away! (shuts door in Lincoln's face)
Dominic: Is he gone?
Eleanor: He better be! I locked the door!
Dominic: Well, whatever! Now, let's have some fun with our babysitter!
Eleanor: Oh... this'll be fun!
Lincoln: (knocks door loudly) Open up! (peers through window) Where are they going?! And where's Lori?! I gotta get inside now! But how?! I gotta call Cal now!
[Lincoln pulls out his phone but his phone runs out of battery]
Lincoln: Dang it! Curse you, plot contrivances! How can I get in now?!
[Cue flashback]
Lincoln: Well that explains the weight. I gotta get some cool air. (opens up kitchen window)
[End flashback]
Lincoln: That's it! The kitchen window! (runs to backyard)
[Quickly, Lincoln uses the garbage can as a footstool to climb inside window. He is interrupted by a neighbor suspicious of him.]
Neighbor: Hey!
Lincoln: (turns head around)
Neighbor: What the heck are you doing?! Breaking into someone's house?! I'm gonna call the cops!
Lincoln: Uh... I was babysitting these kids and they locked me outside of the house, so I'm trying to go through the kitchen window to get inside so I can save my sister, who was babysitting these kids with me.
[Awkward silence]
Neighbor: Oh. Never mind. Good luck, kid! (walks off)
Lincoln: Well, that was odd. (climbs in through window) Where are those kids?
[Cut to Lori being tortured by the kids. Dominic is pulling on Lori's hair, Eleanor is ramming against Lori's stomach, and Jeremy is forcefully beating Lori's legs]
Eleanor: Oh! This is so much fun! Hahahahahahaha! You being tortured is music to my ears!
Lincoln: (hears another muffled scream) Lori! (runs upstairs)
Dominic: Hey! What are you doing in here?!
Eleanor: What?! How did you get in?!
Lincoln: What are you doing with Lori?!
Eleanor: We're not telling you!
Jeremy: You got that right!
Lincoln: (to Jeremy) Do you really not say anything else other than that?
Jeremy: ...You got that right?
Lincoln: Whatever. Let me through!
Dominic: No! You'll have to get passed us!
Eleanor: Yeah!
Lincoln: Look! Something shiny!
Eleanor: Ooh! Where?!
[Lincoln has disappeared from sight. Dominic facepalms himself.]
Dominic: Nice going, genius!
Eleanor: Shut up, smelly!
Dominic: [sarcastically] Oh, great insult. Stop him!
[The three run up stairs, and try to open the door to where Lori is, but it is closed shut by a chair from the inside.]
Dominic: You better let us in or I'll mess you up good too!
Eleanor: You mean, we'll mess them up good!
[Lincoln unties Lori's ropes and the bandada on her mouth]
Lori: [deep breath] Oh, thank gosh! I didn't think I was gonna live! [hugs Lincoln] Thank you, Lincoln!
Lincoln: Lori! What happened?!
Lori: I don't know! These kids just went crazy on me or something!
Lincoln: What's gotten into them?!
Lori: I wish I knew! They just wanted to torture me!
Lincoln: But why though?!
Lori: They're mosters! That's what!
Lincoln: Wait... this is why they made us split up!
Lori: What?
Lincoln: Lori? Did those kids by any chance happen to ask you any strange questions before?
Lori: Well... they asked me about what would happen if I left my family for college or something. I told them I would never leave my family and that no one could replace me. Then eleano started saying things liek how you were going to replace me and I got mad at that and then... I don't know. I lost control of myself.
Lincoln: That happened with me too! They asked me about how you treat me and if you're really a good sister or not. I guess they somehow found out our weaknesses and used them against us!
Lori: But why?
Lincoln: Duh! So they could split us up!
Lori: [angrily] Oh... those devils.
Lincoln: We gotta call Cal now! I can't since my phone is dead!
Lori: But I can! Those sneaks forgot one thing. [pulls out phone] I never leave my phone, and my phone never leaves me!
Lincoln: Call him now!
Lori: [dials in his number] Hello? Cal?!
Voice: Hello! This is Cal! Sorry I can't call you, but I'm off having the time of my life! I bet you wish you could be me right now! Just leave a message after the beep!
Lori: Are you kidding me?!
Lincoln: Well, now what?!
[The door bangs violently]
Lincoln: We're not letting you in!
Lori: Oh, no they don't!
[Cue montage of Lori and Lincoln setting up their gear; they tape pillows around their head and body and they grab some brooms to use a swords]
Lincoln: You're not getting past us anymore!
[The door bangs loudly again]
Lori: Charge!
[Lori and Lincoln run like warriors, screaing at the door to attack. Suddenly, out comes Cal with a very surprised look on his face.]
Cal: Woah! What's going on here?!
Lori and Lincoln: CAL?!
Lori: What are you doing here?!
Cal: [disappointed] I... came home early. I got kicked out of the party because I was supposedly causing "too much ruckus" for the other guests. [glances at Lori and Lincoln's costumes] Uh. You mind explaining me what's going on- [points towards their costumes] -y'know...
Lori: Oh! We need to tell you something!
Lincoln: Yeah! See! It was the kids! They were trying to split us up!
Lori: And it worked almost. But then the kids came up to me, hit me with a frying pan, and then began to torture me in here!
Lincoln: And then I had to-
Dominic, Eleanor, and Jeremy: DADDY! It's all lies!
Cal: What do you mean?!
Dominic: They were bullying us!
Eleanor: They were dressing up as warriors and then attacking us for no reason!
Dominic: They were beating us up! All because we asked them for food!
Lincoln and Lori: [shocked] What?!
Cal: Is this true?!
Lori: No!
Eleanor: Yes it is!
Lincoln: No! It's not!
Eleanor: Yes! It is!
Lori: No! It's not!
Eleanor: YES IT IS! [stomps loudly, which causes the recording machine to fall from her pocket and accidentally activate]
Eleanor (in voice recorder): Oh! This is so much fun! Hahahahahahaha! You being tortured is music to my ears!
[Cal grows a shocked expression]
Dominic: [clenched teeth] You had that thing on?!
Eleanor: I didn't know! I thought it was off!
Cal: Well, I've heard enough!
Dominic: Dad, no! I can explain!
Cal: No! I don't want to hear it from you! You three are grounded until further notice!
Dominic, Eleanor, and Jeremy: What?!
Cal: Not only that, but I also want you three to write a letter to these two saying you're sorry for the trouble you caused them as well as write 100 times, "I will not torture my babysitter", on your chalkboard! Oh, and you'll be going to be bed at 6:00 pm without any dessert too!
Lincoln: Wow. That's extreme.
Cal: It's called being a good parent, kid.
Eleanor: What?! All that?!
Cal: You tortured your babysitter!
Lori: And beat me recklessly!
Dominic: Are you kidding me?!
Jeremy: Ah, man. This sucks.
Eleanor: Oh, now you start saying actual words?!
Jeremy: Shut up...
Lori: Aw... the sweet smell of justice.
Cal: Go to your room now! Lori and Lincoln. Get out of there!
[The kids stomp angrily to their room]
Cal: Kids. I'm really sorry about what to you. I had no idea my kids were such monsters!
Lincoln: It's alright. At least they'll learn they're lesson.
Lori: Or maybe they won't, but they'll still be punished anyway, so it's all good.
Cal: Is there any way I can repay you for the misery you suffered! Oh! Actually, I managed to swipe a few slices of cake before I left. I think you guys should have some.
[Cal pulls out two cake slices wrapped in clear plastic wrap]
Lincoln: Wow! And in perfect condition.
Lori: Thanks!
Cal: No prob. Now, I'll just call your parents and say you're waiting to be picked up. Again, sorry about today. You won't be seeing any of those kids for a while.

EPILOGUE
[Lincoln and Lori are sitting on the couch at their home, exhausted from the events that happened earlier that day]
Lincoln: Well, I can indeed say today was... interesting.
Lori: It wasn't boring. I'll say that.
[Lincoln and Lori chuckle a bit. They then look down for a bit.]
Lincoln: Lori... can I ask you something?
Lori: S- Sure. What is it?
Lincoln: Did you really mean what you said about me back there?
Lori: What?
Lincoln: About me not being able to run this family without you?
[Lori pauses in guilt]
Lori: No, Lincoln. I'm really sorry I said. It's just... when those kids asked me that, I started thinking about what would happen if I had to leave this family. I feel like it's my job to look after all of you guys. It's the only place where I feel... important.
Lincoln: Oh, Lori. I know how you feel. Sometimes, I wonder what this family would be like if you weren't around. Trust me, it'd be a lot harder to keep things organized here.
Lori: Well, I've calmed down and now that I think about it, I realize that I've been a bit ungrateful.
Lincoln: Ungrateful about what?
Lori: Having you as a brother. You're the man with the plan around here. You always know what to do when any of us get into fights or situations. You know how to this family works better than I do, and if I really were to leave this family, I think you would run it just fine.
Lincoln: Really? Wow! Thanks, Lori. Though, that's not to say you don't do a good job running this family too.
Lori: [sighs] I thought you'd think otherwise about me.
Lincoln: What do you mean?'
Lori: You said if I were gone from this family, things would be better...
[Lincoln gasps in shock and guilt]
Lincoln: I did?! Oh... I did. Lori. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that! I just thought that you were ungrateful to have me around. You always are going on about how you struggle with this family, and not to mention you do tend to lose your temper on me. I guess it just made me feel angry that you go on about yourself. Until now, I thought you really didn't care about what I do...
Lori: Lincoln! I do care about you and I am thankful that you always are trying to help. I know I can be selfish sometimes, and I'm sorry.
Lincoln: No no. I'm sorry. I was being hypocritical now that I think about it. I was complaining that didn't see things through my view of being in this family so much that I didn't bother to see things from your point of view. I understand now that it's not easy being the eldest in the family. I don't want you to go away! I really don't. You're a great eldest sibling, and this family wouldn't be the same without it. It was wrong for me to build up anger and let it out on you like that. I feel like such a jerk.
Lori: So do I...
[Lincoln and Lori look at each other and giggle a bit]
Lincoln: From now on, if we have any issues about each other, we shouldn't be afraid to talk about them.
Lori: Agreed, little bro.
[Lincoln and Lori end it off with a hug]
The End
