[snoring]

Hi-ya!

[yelps]

[exclaims]

[cheering]

Wow, bases loaded, two outs, and Johnny Hitswell is up.

We might actually win a game for a change.

What? Stay away from my phonograph.

It's the last out already?

Did everybody get a chance to play?

-Hello. -Klutzberry, go in there for Johnny.

-Oh, boy. -Oh, no, coach.

Johnny's our best hitter, and Shelton really stinks,

even by our team standards.

Son, it's not whether you win or lose... [snores]

it's how you play the game.

[Todd] But Shelton plays the game really lousy.

Excuse me, Mr. Pitcher person? Please don't throw it fast.

I have very poor depth perception.

[laughing] Where'd you get this guy, the nerd factory?

Nerd factory. [laughs] Good one, Buzz.

Strike one, strike two, strike three. You're out. Game over.

-[all groaning] -Oh, man.

Look out below!

Ooh, one-run loss. That must be really disappointing.

-Aw, gee, thanks, Dad. -Hey, I know what'll cheer you kids up.

-Consolation cake? -No. Consolation cake.

Mmm.

But first, I've got a special surprise for everybody.

Participation ribbons?

No. Participation ribbons. We're all winners today.

[belches]

Yes, this is the best participation ribbon yet!

It matches my face.

Dumb game. Dumb coach. Dumb dummy.

Todd, you're younger than me, so you may not understand this yet,

but playing baseball isn't about winning and losing.

It's about building our character to make us better adults.

That sounds like something out of your stupid Teen Girl magazines.

First of all, Naggy Older Sister is not stupid.

It's a widely respected publication,

and second, I already know what you're thinking, so don't do it.

-Don't do what? -Call Fleemco and have them replace Pops

with a pro baseball player who knows what he's doing.

Hello, Fleemco?

[man] Hello, Todd. How can I help you?

My sister just gave me a great idea.

I need you to replace our baseball coach

with a pro baseball player who knows what he's doing.

Ooh, I hate it when I do that. [yelps]

I'm on it, Todd.

Pops Hartman, congratulations.

You've just won a cruise around the world.

Hot diggity.

[horn blows]

[tires screech]

[girl screams]

-All right, losers, listen up. -[cat screeches]

Your old coach, Pops Hartman, won a round-the-world cruise,

so, I'll be your coach for the rest of the season.

Let's get this outta the way right off the bat.

Yes, I am the Buck Spikes, toughest player in the major leagues.

Yes, I am the only player ever suspended for punching a mascot,

but that mouthy walrus had it coming.

And, yes, you can have my autograph. Here you go.

-Cool, thanks. -Wow.

Don't mention it. You each owe me 20 bucks.

Now, there's gonna be some changes around here.

You, you're too short. You, you're too skinny.

-You, you're... you're a goat. -[goat bleats]

Hey, he's our best fielder.

Go get the lead out. You call those wind sprints?

Run! Run! Run!

I'm running, coach!

I'm still running!

Crowd that plate. You gotta learn to put that armor to good use.

[grunting]

Hey, my exoskeleton!

[all straining]

Is it time for cake yet?

If you brats don't quit your whining, I'm never gonna take the brake off.

Pathetic. All I heard out there was excuses.

"I'm tired." "My leg's broken."

"I don't wanna be caged and shackled when I strike out."

If that's such a problem for you babies, then don't strike out!

Todd, this is terrible. This man is a tyrant. He has to go.

Riley, you'll be battin' first.

On the other hand, let's not be hasty.

[crowd groans]

Uhh.

[shuddering]

[grunts]

Abby, you're benched.

[grunts]

Strike 'em out or else.

Safe!

We won'd the game, coach. Do we get cake?

-Eh? -No way.

Have a protein bar.

You all owe me another five bucks.

Yuck. This tastes like tree bark.

"Now with 37% more tree bark"? Oh. Well, that explains that.

I know I've been tough on you guys,

but we got to the championship game, didn't we?

And I believe with all my heart that you guys have given me everything you got.

Unfortunately, that's still not good enough,

so I'm benching you all for these new players.

[belches]

All right, let's get to work.

Todd, Todd, sit beside me. We can be bench buddies.

Wait, splinters. I knitted you a bench cozy.

Thanks, Shelton, for having my back, or, I guess, technically, my butt.

Hey, bench buddy, we're teammates. We gotta look out for each other.

If you say so.

Hello, Fleemco. I'd like to return Coach Spikes.

Tomorrow would be great. And Pops'll be back tomorrow, too, right?

No? What? Oh, right.

What's wrong?

I got rid of Spikes, but Pops is still on his cruise.

I'm king of the...

[snores]

So we still need a coach for the championship.

I think I know just who to get.

So, will you coach our team?

Oh, puh-lease.

I'm a high-tech spy car, not an intramural babysitter.

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

Me, me, me, me, me, me. What about me?

[both] Ehh...

[Agent K] If you children need a baseball coach, look no further.

No, further.

Oh, here!

Mom, what do you know about coaching?

Well, kids, I've never told you this before,

but I spent two seasons undercover

playing third base for the Bay City Blowfish.

Fernando Gomez?

I was deep undercover.

I also hit .317 and made 4 unassisted triple plays.

[groans]

Hello, coach.

-Ohh... -And assistant coach.

Yeah!

[cheering]

Stealing home is really no different

than stealing microfilm from a foreign embassy.

Or so I've heard.

Anyway, we must carefully check your surroundings.

Then, when the time is right,

you run, run, run, like they've released the hounds!

Extraordinary.

[satellite beeping]

Blue Robin to Redbird.

The giraffe has put on his tap shoes.

It's a fastball.

[cheering]

Now remember to check the sign from your third-base coach.

[horn honking] [alarm blaring]

I have no idea what that means.

Just hit the ball!

[crowd cheers]

OK, this is it.

Tie score, bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, two outs.

Seventy degrees, wind out of the west southwest, barometric pressure--

[grunts]

Sorry. Go get 'em, little brother!

Good luck, former bench buddy.

Aw, man, why'd you have to say that?

Hey, bench buddy, we're teammates. We gotta look out for each other.

Aw, man, why'd you have to remind me of that?

You can do it!

Aw, man, why'd you have to knit that?

Ow, I think I pulled my epidermis.

Ouch, I've done that.

Well, it looks like our only reserve is...

Shelton? Aw, that kid stin... ings. Stings.

Yes, stings like a scorpion. Go get 'em, scorpion boy.

Oh, boy, this is like National Science Day

and the opening of Star Journeys 4 all rolled into one. [exclaims]

Forget the huge crowd staring at you,

many of whom just wanna see you crash and burn.

[all chanting] Crash and burn, crash and burn. Crash and burn.

[chattering]

Hey, you can't taunt him. That's my job.

Here comes the pain, lame-o.

You can do it, bench buddy.

Oh, thanks, Todd. Doh...

Night-night.

Batter, take your base. The winning run scores.

[cheering]

And Shelton's breathing.

[goat bleats]

Hmm, interesting. Your epidermis got better real fast.

-Oh, um, well, see... -Good cover. Well, I'm proud of you, Todd.

[Dick crying]

Oh, are you crying because our son

learned a valuable lesson in sportsmanship?

No. I'm crying because I just realized that we won.

And do you know what that means? [gasps]

No consolation cake!

[bawling]

Why?

Why?

[boy] Can I stop running, coach?!

-Parking space detected, K. -Thank you, C.A.R.

-He's gonna steal our spot. -[C.A.R.] I don't think so.

Yes, keep on truckin'.

You have fun with your Happy Hornets scouting while I shop.

Wow, it's my first day as a Happy Hornet!

-Uh, that's happy, not hyper. -Yeah, don't get too excited.

After all, it's time for our annual beef jerky charity fund-raising contest.

That sounds like fun.

Before you get all crazy again, you should know

we lose every year to troop Sassy Sunflower.

Who?

The Sassy Sunflowers, led by the evil beloved, Sierra McCool.

-Thank you, Sierra. -Thank you.

She thinks she's so great.

Oh, my gosh. Hi, Sierra, sweetie. You're so great.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me.

[sighs] We're a bunch of losers compared to them and their designer jerky.

She's right. We couldn't sell beef jerky to a pack of hungry wolves.

[scoffs] You're exaggerating.

[snarls]

[whines]

-Wow, you weren't exaggerating. -We stink.

Well, that is going to change, sisters. Riley Daring is on the case now.

[both sigh]

What do you think?

[whistle blows]

Hello, Hornet Hive leader Susan.

At ease, girls. What is this, amazing jerky?

-It's just a sign to advertise-- -Hornet Scout Ninth Class Riley,

is your so-called amazing jerky magical, mesmerizing?

Can it leap over a building in a single bound?

-Of course not, but-- -Have you forgotten Hive rule 12?

A hornet scout does not lie.

[whistle blows]

What's wrong with saying genuine? It's not lying.

It's just vague, like them selling designer jerky.

Hive rule 43: Two wrongs do not make a right.

Good jerky here.

-I'd like to see the rule-- -[whistle blows]

Hive rule number 97: A Hornet Scout is humble and does not boast.

OK, this is not working for me.

Yeah, neither is your hairstyle.

Hey, that was uncalled for, but very funny, Sierra.

Very funny.

-Ooh, sorry, Riley. -Now you see our problem, Riley?

Hornet Hive leader Susan is such a stickler for the rules,

we could never possibly win.

[blows whistle]

We're doomed, as usual.

No, we're not. Have you forgotten Hive rule 53?

Extinguish all campfires?

-Oh, maybe it's Hive rule 35, then. -Never spit into the wind?

Thirty-three?

What happens at summer camp stays at summer camp?

Oh, fine. Call it Riley rule number one.

Quote never give up unquote.

I have a plan.

Wow, I can't believe I couldn't think of a plan.

Oh, well.

Hello, Fleemco.

Sir, my Hornet Hive troop needs a new leader, someone who knows how to sell.

Who isn't gonna get caught up in a lot of little rules.

[man] Oh, I have just the man for you.

[doorbell rings]

Hornet leader Susan, your whistling skills are legendary.

That's why we need you to come be an instructor

at the center for amnesiac birds.

What?

It's for the birds who have forgotten how to whistle.

-[dog barks] -To the Buzzmobile!

Oh, great. Riley, even your own brother has turned against us.

Hey, buy our jerky, jerk.

It's not even designer.

-Perhaps I can be of assistance. -Who are you?

Lowe Stowe's the name. Helping you sell your jerky is my game.

You're our new Hornet Hive leader?

That's right, girls. Watch and learn.

Oh, move along, son. You can't have any of this jerky.

-It's all reserved. -Reserved? For who?

I can't say, but his tour bus will be here any minute. Oh!

I've said too much.

Wait. If some mysteriously cool person in a tour bus

wants this jerky, then I have to have some, too.

Oh, we can't sell this jerky to you, can we, Riley?

No, we can't sell you a bag.

But I suppose if you bought a case...

we could say the shipment came up short.

Fine.

Wait a second.

Riley, did you just con me into buying your dumb jerky?

That is so... impressive.

I never thought you had it in you.

Well, it is for good cause.

That you're lying for. How can I help? Hmm...

Hmm?

-Jerky for sale. -Jerky for sale by me.

[chattering]

[yelling]

I got you now, weak and powerless victim.

[grunts] Jerky, please.

[belches]

Hey, that was my soon-to-be-stolen lunch money you just spent.

This jerky makes me feel strange, like I'm strong.

Mr. Bully, it's payback time.

[yelling]

Jerky here. Who wants some bully-resistant jerky?

-I do. -I hate bullies.

[chattering]

That went great.

Yeah, I was really in the moment.

Now, where's the money Riley promised me?

And where's the money Riley promised you?

[groans]

And... scene.

You want me to be your celebrity spokesperson?

I'm honored.

-[C.A.R. clears throat] -Yes?

-Aren't you even going to try it first? -Did I ask for your opinion?

No, just like you didn't ask my opinion about your jet-powered pogo stick.

Well, it can't hurt to taste it first, I suppose.

I proudly partake in this tasty jerky.

Mmm... [gasps] My mouth! It burns!

Water.

[laughing]

Oh, man, too bad you can't use that picture.

Oh, we'll see about that.

"Press here to hear Dick Daring tell how much he loves our jerky."

That sounds great!

I proudly partake in... Riley's... jerky.

Tasty in... my mouth!

Ooh, if that handsome guy loves it, I'm sure I will, too.

Gimme a bag.

I'm so looking up to you right now.

[Dick] My mouth! It burns! Again!

But they're still ahead of us. We have to catch them.

And I know how.

Welcome back to Amazing Jerky Discoveries.

Riley, you told us how your jerky is low-carb,

full of vitamins, and cured this young man's walkaphobia.

[audience] Ooh...

But is there anything else you can tell our viewers about this jerky?

It could be a necklace, earrings, even a broach.

[audience] Ooh.

It's the world's first edible jewelry.

Wow, and when we come back from this commercial break,

learn how jerky will freshen your breath.

Freshens breath.

Look out, ladies!

[sniffing]

There's nothing vegetarian here.

-Hello, Riley. -Sierra? What are you doing here?

I think you know why we're here. Get her, girls.

[grunts] Hey, stop it. What are you doing?

What's going on?

Welcome to troop Sassy Sunflower.

-You want me to join you? -Oh, honey, you are one of us.

Devious, shifty, willing to do anything to win.

Check out our designer jerky.

The only difference between yours and ours is a two-cent label.

We're selling the same jerky?

See, it's almost like we're sisters.

Of course, I'm the pretty one.

No, we're not the same. You're not just liars.

You're also stuck-up and mean.

Oh, don't worry, Riley. We can teach you how to be stuck-up and mean. Watch.

Hey, jerky guy. You look cute in that outfit.

-Really? -Don't talk to me.

[crying]

No. I got so caught up in trying to beat you,

I started to act like you. But I'm calling it quits!

Yeah, right. What are you gonna do, start telling the truth?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Hi, everyone. Can I have your attention?

I have a confession to make.

This jerky isn't special. It doesn't freshen your breath.

[Shelton] No!

It's just plain jerky, just like this so-called designer jerky.

So, it's as good as designer jerky?

Wait. You're missing the point.

I lied so you would buy my jerky.

You see, at first, I was just trying to help my friends.

Oh, she was trying to help her friends.

Well, yeah, but it really was for charity.

Come on, everybody, let's buy out the charitable little sweetheart.

But you're not listening! I lied!

Mission accomplished, ladies.

We came in first place. Very cool unloserlike first place.

In the end, honesty really was the best policy.

-After a string of lies and deceit. -Right.

There's my brilliant, devious sister.

For the millionth time, Todd, I was telling the truth.

Sure you were. Your fake honesty rocked, way better than that jerky jewelry pitch.

Who'd be gullible enough to fall for that?

Yo, check out my cool new jerky bling.

Some questions answer themselves.

[screams] That jerky!

[announcer] The Fleemco Company presents:

Dick Daring on courage.

As a famous stuntman, I am constantly facing great danger

with unshakeable courage.

It burns! Water!

Have you tasted that jerky?

That's fine, because it took courage for me to show you

that sometimes I lack courage.

[yelling] That jerky!

[announcer] This has been Dick Daring on courage.

[Dick] Uh, for the record, that wasn't me screaming there.

That was a girl that just happened to be there when the wolves ran by,

and she screamed.
