Post by bunniefuu »

[Music]

you filling in for the den master at the

last minute

hey no problem Jamie I mean all I gotta

do is uh and out a few good deed merit

badges right teach you guys a fine art

of outdoor cooking and demonstrate a few

knots

I guess when hmm hey Jamie this is the

loop and we'll call this the rabbit okay

the rabbit comes out of the hole that

goes around the pole and it goes back

into the hole pull that tight Vicki okay

and uh uh I've tied my hands together

[Music]

it's gonna ask you to help me with this

bag but I can see you're all tied up

[Music]

slippers why do I get the feeling that

you're bucking for a good deed merit

badge just cuz you're helping your

mother doesn't mean you're gonna get a

merit badge

it was very exciting a little deaf boys

are rolling to my class his parents when

a mainstream him into public school want

to be difficult for him to adjust no he

can't speak they he can sign and read

lips so all we have to do is find a

translator who can read sign language

sign language I got just a person who

Ricci I could give her a book on signing

she'd learn it in minutes

that's right Vicky of course come on

honey I mean that's why I invented her

so she could help children with just

these kind of problems oh honey that

would be wonderful

barbecue for Jamie's dad's gonna show us

how to cook out oh I just told you here

you can't say I know I'm a headstrong

woman and I like my men in bunches

surprise what's pineapple surprise

dessert you could be a big help by going

to the store and get me a pineapple

anything for you my wolf you're Little

Red Riding Hood we'll be right back

surprise

surprises pineapples are out of season

[Music]

between here and a while merrier hi guys

ready to cook no before we get to the

cooking we have to learn how to light

the fire outdoors now we do this by

rubbing two sticks together there's a

trick to it and it's all in the wrist

but once you get the hang of it it's so

simple a child could do it

now watch it's all in the finger okay

let's put the buns on to give them that

nice toasty case well I guess I could

make the fire a little bigger stand back

guys that was real dumb don't ever do

that Vicki the water pitcher

[Music]

[Laughter]

burned his buns

I've got a surprise for you I need some

hamburgers just in case let's hear it

for mrs. Lawson

[Applause]

come on you can help me hi guys look at

it this way we flunked cooking but we

mastered smoke signals

okay guys while we're waiting let's hand

out a few merit badges huh foreign

what'd you do to earn yours

well I painted my grandmother's room

with the convalescent home mr. Lawson

well that was very nice Warren not

really she didn't want it painted

[Music]

I see well here's a merit badge for good

intentions sorry they don't have one for

pain and suffering

Jamie how about you what's he saying

Vicky he said he thought over what you

said so he decided to come to the

meeting we're glad you did Josh we were

just handing out merit badges and Jamie

was just about to tell us how he earned

his no dad I'm telling you why I didn't

deserve one because of the way I treated

Josh in fact I don't deserve to be a

wolf that's why I'm quitting quitting

can have his hamburger when you may Josh

your friend wanted to help and you did

the right thing just did it for the

wrong reason and quitting won't make it

right Jamie yeah we don't want you to

quit I think the fact that josh is here

means that he forgives you and wants to

be your friend right Josh what do you

think about making josh member the wolf

pack oh yeah Josh you're now officially

a wolf

[Music]

Oh No cost me a month's allowance at the

gourmet store but for Eugenie it's worth

it

I believe you said it Perry I could find

a pineapple which right here in Hawaii

[Music]

what a disgusting turn of events

[Applause]

[Music]
