01x12 - Game Night/The Don't-Gooder

Post by bunniefuu »

We did it, Scratch!
Brighton Middle School's
recycling program

- is officially a go!
- [gulps]

It is my honor to kick off
Volunteer Week

- by recycling--
- [burps]

...the very first can.

Consider the week kicked--

- Oof.
- Happy Volunteer Week, Fawn-dreas!

Be like me
and give mother nature

a perfectly manicured hand
by recycling!

- Oof!
- [kids cheering]

Recycling is the first
step to saving the Earth.

It's hard work,
but someone had to do it.

Umm, I love you. Byee!

[coughing]

That someone was us!

Who does this Andrea
think she is?

She's gonna just roll it in,
take all the credit?

She did get people to recycle.

- And that's what matters.
- Really?

Yes. So, you know,
what if she's got

the adoration of thousands
of online followers?

We have grimy fingers
from a job well-done.

Gross.

[dog barking]

Phew. There!
Brighton's Bark Park
is clean again!

Let the puppy kisses commence!

I love what you've done
here, Andrea!

"Local do-gooder proves
anything is pawsible!"

I don't mind getting
a little dirty to help
our furry friends.

- [woofs]
- OK, that's enough.

My puppy kisses.

That should be your face
covered in dog slobber!

Nah. No, I mean,

Andrea gets the fancy photo ops
and beagle smooches.

But we got... uh...

- Grimy fingers?
- I'm thinking. Gimme a minute.

Ah-hah! Done.

Now we can officially
downgrade the Brighton River

from health nightmare
to health hazard.

Uh, You got something
on your hair, dear.

- What? [screams]
- [possum screams]

[scared noises]

I'm here with hometown
do-gooder, Andrea Davenport.

How does it feel to be
Volunteer of the Week
of Volunteer Week?

They named her what?! Ahh!

- No, Scratch! Stop it! Look...
- [grunts]

Andrea's getting an award,
and of course she is!

Why not since she has
everything else she wants?!

But you know
what she doesn't have?

- Your extreme capacity for delusion?
- Yeah, probably.

- Just let me give her one pin!
- I can't let you do that!

Volunteer of the Week
of Volunteer Week?


Wow. I'm just doing my part
to en-happify Brighton.


[chuckles] that's just a silly
little word I came up with.


- And trademarked.
- What? En-happify is my word!

Yes! It is your word, Molly.

And Fraud-drea
just used your word

on the hyper-local news
for the whole world to see!

Destroy her!

Molly volunteers
for the right reasons.

- Helping others.
- Right.

- You don't need to be on TV.
- Hey, look! Molly's on TV!

[struggling]

Mom, let's not send this
to Grandma Nin, OK?

- [whoosh]
- Uh... Whoops.

[moans]

Can you believe
Andrea cleaned up

the whole Bark Park by herself?

And she started
the recycling program.

She recycled one paper cup!

Charity is not
a competition, Ms. McGee.

Doing good is its own reward.

But that's what I've been say--

Now, on to the charity
competition!

We're raising money
for a much needed
school marquee!

[tapping, chirps]

As the final event
for Volunteer Week,

whoever sells
the most nougat bars

will get a big fancy trophy!

Sign up now
for the Tournament of Nougat!

We need a new marquee?

Then I'm gonna help us get it!

By selling more candy
than Andrea Davenport!

Vengeful charity. Ah! [sniffs]

- I'm so proud of--
- OK, hold on.

- Because it's not about revenge.
- Sure it is.

- I just wanna do good for the school.
- Sure...

And if that happens
to show Brighton
who the real do-gooder is,

- Then, you know...
- Then we got her!

Right by the nougat!

- [gasps]
- Molly! So great of you to help, you cutie!

You'll sell nougat,
I'll sell more nougat.

We'll earn enough
for that marquee in no time.

May the best do-gooder win.

I worked twice as hard
and cared nine times as much!

I'm gonna win that award.
There's no way I don't.

We're going to crush Andrea.

- For charity, of course.
- Yeah... charity.

- [microphone pops]
- The winner

of Volunteer Week's
Tournament of Nougat

iiisss...

I'm kidding.
You know who it is.
Andrea Davenport!

- [applause]
- What?!

Hard work truly does pay off!

You kidding me?!
She has everything!

Why does she have to take
the one thing I have?

- And she didn't even try!
- Yeah, between you working so hard,

- and me sabotaging her sales--
- Wait, what?

The bottom line is,
I smell something funky.

What you smell is
the soul-rotting stench
of a charity-cheater.

A-a-a-- A don't-gooder!

A don't what? Not your best.

It doesn't exactly--
It works and it's
what Andrea is!

And we're gonna expose her,
OK?!

Andrea's house.

The den of Don't-Gooding.

OK, I'll climb onto the roof,

pry off the air-duct cover,
drop inside, then you--

Now, you know I love
a good breaking and entering

as much as the next
common criminal,

but Molly, this doesn't
seem like you.

So what if we just do
this instead? Boot!

Whoa. Mol, what is behind
this door is mind-blowing.


Really?! Well, open it!

I mean, just in a word? Wow.

- Scratch, open the door!
- Seriously, this--

I'm prepared!
Open the door, Scratch!

All right, all right,
all right, I'm going.

[gasps]

[chewing] What?!

You're good with a felony B&E,

but you draw the line
at eating unsold merchandise?

[gasps] Scratch!
This is a receipt

for 4,000 nougat bars
with Andrea's name on it!

- Do you know what this means?
- Andrea's allowance is too high?

It means Andrea sold
all of the candy to herself!

But she did technically
sell the most nougat.

She won! What are you doing?

Photographing the crime scene.

She's not gonna
get away with this.

O-OK, but you and Andrea

both raised enough money
for the new marquee.

She wins a trophy. I win
because taking this nougat
is a victimless crime.

You? You win because doing
good is its own reward.
Remember when you told me that?

Oh, this is about more
than doing good, Scratch.

It's about doing right!
We have to show
do-gooders everywhere

that their hard work is
appreciated and rewarded
with shiny objects!

This is about sending a message
to all of the Andrea Davenports

that she can't take
this away from us!

This... is about... justice.

I know I'm the ghost,
but right now,
you're scaring me.

Hey, Fawn-dreas! Check it out!

All my hard work
selling nougat paid off.

Everybody's here
for the unveiling.

Even my parents!

Darryl, when Ms. Lightfoot
calls Andrea's name,

you get these photos
onto that marquee. Got it?

Oh, so now you wanna hack
the school server,

but when I suggest it,
it's quote, unquote, wrong!

Mol, it's not too late to step
back from the brink of madness.

Oh, yes, it is.

Congratulations, Andrea.

You must've worked so hard
to sell all that candy.

I guess I'm just
a born salesman,
like my parents.

- Right, Daddy?
- Hold that hug for the cameras, Button.

We'll get more likes
if it feels real.

Oh, no. Oh, I've made
a horrible mistake!

Andrea wasn't trying
to steal my credit.

She was just trying to get
her parents' attention!

Oof. That is sad.

Honestly I almost feel bad
for her. And you know me.

I have very little
empathy for others.

Scratch, what have I done?!

I let my jealousy get
in the way of charity!

- [sighs] I'm the don't-gooder!
- That still doesn't work.

The winner
of The Tournament of Nougat

and our hearts, is...

You gotta stop Darryl
before he releases
those pictures! Please!

Do I have time
for an "I told you so"?

No! You can say it twice later!

[Principal in slow-motion]
Andrea...


Davenport...

Phew. Darryl, I thought I
wasn't
gonna stop you in time

- from releasing those photos.
- Photos?

I was ordering a burrito.
The photos are already up.

[everyone gasp]

That's one for the oops column.

What's the meaning
of all the excess nougat?

Uh... so this is all
of the nougat Andrea sold!

In her garage!
Because she sold it
all to herself...

What are you doing?!

[typing]

I can explain everything.

You see, Andrea wanted
to make sure we got
the new marquee

and no one had to eat nougat.

Because nougat is...
terrible for your teeth!

So she knew that everyone
eating that much nougat
would give everyone cavities

and wanted to protect
Brighton's overworked
dentistry community.

- [applause]
- So without further ado,

I give you
the Volunteer of the Week

of Volunteer Week,
Andrea Davenport!

[cheering]

Thank you.

Our baby girl did it!

- That's the brand.
- Never doubted it.

She's just like us!

[panting]

Oof!

[panting]

- [door shuts]
- Whoa! What's this for?

I just realized I have
everything that matters
right here.

'Cept... Scratch?
Where'd he go?

[gasp]
