03x21 - Brothers and Sisters (Friends and Family)

[bunniefuu]

Lisa: Not so fast, Carole. Stevie, keep up with her.

Stevie: Ugh! I'm trying!

Carole, slow down, it's not a race.

Carole: It's not me. You keep stopping.

Just do one at a time.

Or get someone else to help you.

Otherwise you might...

Stevie: Ooh!

Drop them.

Agh! Thanks, Jack.

Any time.

Carole: Jack's right, you know.

We do need someone else.

We can just carry them one at a time.

It's not about the poles. I'm talking Saddle Club.

Think about it--

how many times would it be great

to have a fourth person?

Yeah.

We could team up in pairs and practice.

And competitions.

Not to mention pole carrying.

[All giggle]

But who would we ask?

[Engine rumbles]

What about Desi?

Yeah, I like her.

Melanie's been on at me for ages.

But maybe I see too much of her at home.

[Chuckles]

Don't worry about it.

We found each other, didn't we?

The right person'll come along at the right time.

Simon: Hey there, um...

Jack told me you needed some help.

Cookies! We could smell them from the arena.

I baked them especially.

Stevie: What an excellent sister.

I'd love a sister like you.

Lisa: Let me at 'em.

Are these videos from home, Melanie?

Yeah.

What are they doing here?

We showed them to Trouble.

He just loves a good laugh.

Thanks for helping us out there, Simon.

We make a good team.

Carole: Mmm-mmm!

Melanie, we might let you join the Saddle Club--

as a cook.

How come there aren't any boys

in the Saddle Club?

You wouldn't let boys join the Saddle Club,

would you?

We haven't thought about it.

But...

boys wouldn't wanna join a girls club.

Simon: Isn't it more of a riding club?

Can I come on your ride today?

Sure.

Lisa: Why not?

Simon: What would someone have to do to join anyway?

You have to love riding horses.

Lisa: You have to be a loyal friend.

And then-- the hard part--

you have to really love annoying Veronica.

[All laugh]

Hey, I'm in already.

♪ Hello, world, this is me ♪

♪ Life should be

♪ Mm-mm, yeah

♪ Fun for everyone

♪ Hello, world

♪ Come and see

♪ Life should be

♪ Fun for everyone!

[Donkey brays]

[All laughing]

[Mouse squeaks]

[Shrieking]

Mrs. Reg: What is it?

[Breathless squeals]

Oh, a spider?

Snake?

A mouse!

Veronica, that's not gonna hurt you.

They are dirty, dangerous creatures.

Calm down.

I'll get Socks onto it.

[Exhale]

Mrs. Reg: Puss?

Puss, puss.

Puss! Socksy! Socksy, come here!

What're you looking for?

Oh. You don't have Socks up there, do you?

No.

I need her for mousing.

Haven't seen her for days.

Well, if you do see her,

smack her bottom and send her home.

Sure thing.

[Horse nickers]

Aren't you gonna let me in?

[Nickering]

Away you go.

That's not like you, Belle.

You normally can't wait to get your feed.

[Neighing]

[Whinnies]

He is so annoying.

Who?

Simon is trying to worm his way into the Saddle Club.

If they're picking a new member,

it should be me.

So if you got the chance,

you'd just dump me and Trouble.

You gotta grow up sometime.

I like us the way we are.

I like us, too.

But not enough to stay?

Hmmm...

It looks like it's cheese or cheese.

I'll go with cheese, thanks.

Melanie: I can make you all different types of sandwiches,

if you like.

You're being very nice.

I'm always nice.

Maybe you'd like me

to come on the ride with you.

Lisa: Ah...now I get it.

Well, maybe. I'll think about it.

Thanks for leaving this lying around, Mel.

It's the funniest thing I've seen in ages.

Leave what lying around?

Veronica: [Laughs] Let me rewind it for you.

Lisa: What's so funny?

Lisa: [on tape] [Snoring]

Switch that off!

No, share it with the world.

Lisa: Why did you bring this in?

Veronica: Oh...she's upset.

She needs her teddy to kiss it better.

Stevie: Get out of here if you're gonna be mean.

Yeah, get lost.

Oh...where is your sense of humor?

I'll never live this down.

Melanie, what were you thinking?!

I didn't know it was on the tape. Honest.

I can't believe you did that.

Stevie: Give her a minute.

Let's check on Belle.

[Belle neighs]

Is she sick?

I don't think so. Her eyes are clear.

Stevie: She really doesn't want us going in, does she?

[To Belle] If you don't wanna play, I don't want to play!

[Belle nickers]

Maybe she just needs a rest.

Yeah, let's leave her.

Is Chili free, Jack?

All yours.

See you later, Belle.

You're gonna miss out on all the fun,

silly thing.

[Snuffles]

We need to have a talk.

[Pencil scratches on paper]

I've written an apology poem.

"I didn't mean to cause you pain,

"I'll never do such a thing again.

"If "sorry" helps me make things right,

then "sorry" 10 times, let's not fight."

And then I've written "sorry" 10 times.

It's real poetry.

Awesome.

Do you think Lisa will love it?

I would.

Simon: We used to play computer games for hours, but...

My cousin says since I've started riding,

I've gone weird.

[Half laughs] You haven't gone weird...

You've gone...

Nice.

Exactly.

Well, that's not weird.

Well, Josh says he liked me better

when we played "Death Star" all night.

I like you better now.

What I mean is...

I really like riding with you.

Same here.

Carole: You ready, Simon?

[Horse whinnies]

Hot to trot.

What're you up to today, Desi?

Heh.

Veronica's probably got something unusual planned.

Veronica: Ahhh!

Someone find that cat! Now!

That was unusual.

Yeah. [Titters]

[Horse whinnies]

This is such a beautiful place.

Stevie: Yeah, we like it.

You guys know any other places like this?

All the girls have got special riding places...

Melanie, Jess... everybody.

Gee, I feel kind of left out.

You're lucky.

They're around.

You just gotta find them.

Simon: No, I mean...

You're lucky with each other.

You're special.

Nah... we're just the Saddle Club.

We fit together.

Like a puzzle. [Chuckles]

It's fun hanging out with you guys.

We've been known to love a few laughs.

So, do you think I'd make a good fit

for the Saddle Club?

[ATV rumbles]

Veronica: Have a lovely ride with your new friends, did you?

Simon: Yes, thanks.

We had a picnic and a long talk.

How sophisticated!

And they asked me to join the Saddle Club!

Unbelievable.

Why him?

Does it matter?

You didn't wanna join, did you?

Of course not.

Veronica: Hey, Melanie!

Have you heard the big news?

They've asked Simon to join the Saddle Club.

You're kidding.

Isn't that the pits?

But...what about me?

Well, exactly.

Veronica.

What?

[Grunts and brays]

Lisa is so mean.

Huh?

She let Simon join the Saddle Club.

Oh.

Instead of me.

So she's turning her back on you?

Yes!

You must feel awful.

[Brays]

Stevie: My brothers find new ways to annoy me every day.

Carole: Even if they are annoying I'd love to have them.

Simon: Yeah, I'd like to have sisters...

just to tell them off.

Carole: It's tough being an only child, eh, Simon?

Tell me about it.

You wanna swap?

Yeah...go for it.

Any time.

You'd regret it.

Having a sister tagging along all the time...

or borrowing things...

or just embarrassing you.

Being an only child would be way better.

Carole: You don't really mean that.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have a sister.

[Paper crumples]

If you don't want a sister...

I don't want a sister.

So we're even.

Hi, Jess. Where's Melanie?

Don't know.

Can you let her know I'm looking for her?

Looks like they're gonna make Melanie

a member of the Saddle Club.

Might be just you and me now, Trouble.

Hey, there.

Hey.

You OK?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

I thought Simon was your friend...

not theirs.

Yeah, well...

Things...

Change.

Yeah, they sure do!

[Horse snuffles]

Jess: Get down!

Leave me alone!

You can't go all the way to Holbrook Valley

by yourself.

Let me come with you.

I don't wanna talk to anyone.

Fine! Either do I.

Lisa: I'd take the words back...

if I could.

Mrs. Reg: We all know that feeling.

I love her... and she thinks I hate her.

Have you told her that you love her?

She's my sister...

So?

Well, she must know.

Wouldn't hurt to remind her, would it?

I don't really think she wants to talk to me.

I don't believe that.

She doesn't.

Then go and find her and tell her.

Lisa: Jess, have you seen Melanie?

She's disappeared.

[Trouble brays]

She's really upset.

Well, did she say where she was going?

No idea.

[Approaching footsteps]

Oh, sorry.

Looking for the Saddle Club.

Not here.

You OK?

You know...

life.

Simon: Is that, um...

life-family?

Life-Veronica?

Is that life--

Desi: Veronica...

maybe.

She's funny when she's up to something--

puts me back on the shelf.

I'm feeling kinda left out.

You know, with you joining the Saddle Club and all.

Yeah...

We'll see how that goes.

Lisa: Hey, Simon!

See what I mean?

Lisa: Simon! Anybody!

[Grunts and brays]

Lisa: She could be anywhere.

Carole: It's OK. We'll split up.

Yeah. We can cover a lot of ground.

What if we don't find her before dark?

Jess: Lisa!

[Horse whinnies]

I do know where Melanie is!

[Horses whinny]

[Horse snuffles]

Jess said this is Melanie's special place.

We'll take the woods.

We'll follow the trail.

She's gonna be OK!

Right.

[Horse snuffles]

Lisa: Melanie! Are you there?

Mel?!

Stevie: Melanie!

Melanie!

Carole: This will take all day!

Stevie: Glad we've got Desi and Simon with us.

Carole: Yeah...

He's a cool guy.

He is.

I think he'll make a good fourth member.

Yeah.

He fits in...

I think.

Simon: Melanie! Where are you?

Desi: Melanie!

Simon: You guys just need to talk.

We know you feel left out...

But Lisa didn't mean to hurt you.

She wants to make it up to you.

Everything's gonna be OK.

[Horse snuffles and nickers]

Lisa: Melanie!

[Horse whinnies]

I need to tell you something really important.

That I'm so sorry...

And that I love you.

[Exhale]

That's what I wanted to say.

Annoying, aren't I?

[Laughs] Yeah, that's my job.

Vanished from the face of the earth.

I've searched in every place

a cat could hide

and then some!

[Cat meows, kitten meows]

Sounds like a cat.

A kitten.

Kittens!

[Kitten meows]

Awesome!

[Meowing]

Melanie: Hey, you.

Hi.

[Trouble grunts]

About the Saddle Club...

Oh, right.

I choose you instead.

Oh. OK.

[Girls giggle, kitten meows]

So Belle was protecting the kittens.

Mrs. Reg: That's right.

You wouldn't think a horse

would look after a cat.

Almost as weird as sisters being best friends.

[Half laughs]

[Meowing]

[Horses whinny]


but maybe 3's better.

Like the three musketeers.

Or the three bears...

Or the three little pigs!

[Snorts]

[Girls laugh and giggle]

Simon: Hey, guys.

Hey.

Um...

I've been thinking... about the Saddle Club.

So have we.

It's come back to get me!

[Whimpers]

...Chasing me!

You...

You, I'll get you for this.

Brats!

It was just a bit of fun.

Melanie: Lighten up!

Where is your sense of humor?

I'll sue!

You'll be hearing from my lawyers!

[All laugh]

It's not gonna be pretty around here.

I'm going for a ride. Who's coming?

[Horses snuffle]
