==========================


Stock shot: Outside station. Night.

Scene: Inside station common room/kitchen.

Jamie: (Is sitting with his chin on a table and is holding an open history book in front of his face.) I'm a dead man. That's it. (Lets the book fall back on the table.)

Hank: (Who's also studying.) Interesting. Death by cramming. You know they have a cure for that now. It's called studying as you go along.

Jamie: Thank you Dr. Overachiever. (Might be Uber-achiever.)

Val: (Enters, followed by Tyler.) It's just. . . It's not fair. If we were there five minutes sooner. (She opens the refrigerator door.)

Tyler: Val, forget it. This had lost cause written all over it. We should just let go, move on you know, life's too short.

Hank: Hey guys, I know we're supposed to stay emotionally detached from our work, but uh, 'life's too short'?

Val: No, no, no, Tyler and I were talking about our sociology class. We were late and so we got last pick on a project due Friday.

Tyler: Marketing and the American public.

Val: Yeah, we have to make a product out of something she assigns us and try to sell it to the public.

Brooke: (Enters.) Bad news guys. City inspection next week. I called Alex who gave me the go ahead to make a cleaning schedule. (Holds up the sheet of paper.)

Jamie: Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, shouldn't Alex be in on this.

Brooke: He's out with a bad back

Jamie: (Skeptical.) Oh, and just in time for a major clean up. How convenient.

Tyler: No no no, this back thing is chronic with Alex. It happens every time it rains. (Jamie waves his hand and doesn't buy it.) You should have seen him last time. (Bends over a little. Imitates Igor in voice and posture, you know, the mad scientist helper with a hump back.) Yes master. (Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles and you can see a man in the window.)

Brooke: (Screams. Panicked.) Somebody's out there! (Tyler gets to the window first, followed quickly by everybody else. Now Brooke's a little confused.) I don't get it. He was right there. (Mr. Revere walks in behind them.)

Mr. Revere: Excuse me? (They all turn.)

Hank: (Surprised.) Mr. Revere.

Mr. Revere: I'm surprised you remembered.

Hank: (Walks over and shakes his hand.) Hey, Mr. Revere, my name is Hank. (He turns and sees the confused looks on Val and Tyler's faces. He clarifies.) Uh, we rescued Mr. Revere from the MVA a few months ago.

Val: (Recognition shows on her face.) Didn't you have a little boy in the car with you?

Mr. Revere: My son. Sam.

Hank: I-I thought he was okay.

Mr. Revere: Since the accident he's been uh. . . he's been real quiet. He still has nightmares you know, about the crash. His therapist thinks he's. . . he's overwhelmed. But she said uh, it might really do Sam some good if he (Turns to Hank) could spend some time with you.

Hank: Me? Why. . . why me?

Mr. Revere: The only time he ever talked about the accident, he just said one word. 'Hank'.

(Hank flashes back to the accident from the pilot episode. It's dark out and lights are flashing and Val's calling to him.)

Val: (Off screen.) Hank! Hank! Possible spinal injury, we're going to need a backboard. (Hank is looking at Sam the entire time. Camera pans up to show Val by Sam.) Hank! (He snaps out of it and the flashback ends.)

Mr. Revere: Please Hank.

Hank: Yeah, Sir. I don't think. . . (Sounds apologetic he can't do it.)

Tyler: (Interrupts to explain.) You see, EMTs have this rule against getting involved with people they've helped.

Mr. Revere: Nothing else has worked.

Hank: I've got some free time tomorrow. Yeah, say around 3 o'clock.

Mr. Revere: 3 o'clock is great. Here's the address. (Hands Hank a slip of paper.) Sam will be waiting. (Hank nods.) Thanks. (Mr. Revere leaves.)

Val: Hank, shouldn't you talk to Alex about this?

Hank: Why? You know, I'll be away from the station on my own time. Besides, it's a good cause. You know, you don't get in trouble for doing good.

[Opening Credits]

Stock Shot: Outside Station. It's raining.

Scene: Room at the station with the couch and TV. Rec room.

(Tyler and Val are sitting at a counter with a paper towel tube, a stick and a cloth.)

Tyler: Five minutes late for class, we get stuck using this trash.

Val: Okay, I agree it's not much to work with, but that's what makes it so

Tyler: (Interrupts.) Lame? Bogus?

Val: Challenging.

Tyler: (Skeptical.) Challenging, right. (Stands up with the stick.) Okay, let's see, the product. (Holds the stick while thinking.) Uh. . . Ricky the Stick. The most versatile toy. You can swing him he's a bat (swings it.) You can Uh. . . twirl him he's a baton (twirls it.) or a hiking stick. Or a limbo pole. (Holds it out and starts to go under it. Gets a doubtful look from Val.) Or not. (Lightning flashes followed by thunder. We get a shot of the door and we see a pair of legs being dragged by. Val screams.)

Brooke: (Comes to the door from behind holding a doll about as big as she is.) Val, what it? What's wrong?

Val: Brooke! You almost scared me to death with that thing!

Brooke: (A little bitterly.) Well maybe (readjusts her hold on the doll and shoves it against the door frame.) Maybe if I had some help here it wouldn't have happened.

Tyler: (Annoyed.) Brooke, we told you we can help you as soon as we've done our schoolwork.

Brooke: (Exasperated) Which means we'll be scrambling like always. I just wanted to get a jump on things for a change. That's all.

Val: Brooke, we're sorry. This is due Friday. You're gonna have to wait.

Brooke: (Gives up. To the doll.) C'mon Serena, looks like we dummies are doing the cleaning. (Drags the doll out the door.)

Scene: An office. Probably Alex's.

Jamie: (Has his hands on the back of his neck and his elbows on the table. He's still studying. Talking to himself.) C'mon, Gettysburg Address, I know this, I know this.

Brooke: (Walks past the door and sees him. She's still carrying the doll.) I'll give you a hint. (Jamie looks up.) I doesn't have a zip code.

Jamie: (Fake laughs.) Funny. My history grade is reaching critical mass and you're making jokes.

Brooke: You think cleaning this place all by myself is funny?

Jamie: Well it's gotta be better than stuffing your brain with the civil war for three days.

Brooke: Three days? (Crinkles her nose and sits down in the chair opposite Jamie. The doll is basically crushing her.) Please. I mean, I'm no expert on the civil war but give me your text book and let me coach you. I could have you ready in half the time.

Jamie: Really? You'd do that? (Brooke nods. Jamie gets suspicious.) Why? (She smirks.) What's in it for you?

Brooke: Simple. I help you study to pass your test and you help me start cleaning to pass inspection. Deal? (Holds out the doll's hand.)

Jamie: (Considers the offer.) Deal. (Slaps the doll's hand.)

Scene: Hank's truck.

(Traffic is bad and it's raining. Hank is talking to Sam.)

Hank: Uh, sorry we couldn't go to the park. Still, going for ice cream's not such a bad fall back plan, is it? (Silence.) So, I hear your favorite flavor is rocky road. (More silence.) Your dad says that you really haven't talked much, you know? Since the accident. (Silence.)

Scene: Rec room.

Val: (Brandishing the paper towel tube.) Join the ranks of James Bond, Austin Powers and (turns to Tyler) and (turns back.) lots of other very famous undercover agents. With your very own secret agent spy spool. (Turns to Tyler. Now it's his turn to give Val a doubtful look.) Look through it for (puts it to her eye) isolated surveillance. (Puts it one end of it to Tyler's ear and talks into the other one.) Talk through it and tell secrets that no one else can hear. (More thunder and lightning. Val screams right into Tyler's ear and turns to the window. He grabs he ear and falls off the stool he was sitting on. Val hears him fall and turns around again.) Tyler, Tyler I'm so sorry. (He cringes in pain and is still holding his hear. He's looking at her from the floor.) That was just. . . that was really close. Are you okay? Are you okay?

Tyler: What?!

Val: I said 'are you okay' because when I was (talks through the tube.) talking through this you. . . you. . (Tyler can't keep a straight face and Val realizes he was joking. She's hits him in the head with the tube.)

Tyler: Ow.

Val: Get up.

Scene: Garage.

(Jamie is sweeping/moppiing the floor and Brooke is sitting just inside the doors of an empty ambulance, she's using the ledge in the back as a footrest. She's got Jamie's history book and is quizzing him)

Brooke: What Confederate general won his nickname for his stand at Bull Run?

Jamie: Bull somebody.

Brooke: Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson. It's right here.

Jamie: (To himself.) Jackson. (To Brooke.) I always forget that guy. It's like I've got a mental block against him.

Brooke: Well then what you need is a way to trigger your memory. A mental block is sort of like a stone wall right? And Stonewall was Jackson's nickname so whenever you hit that mental block all you need to do is think. . .

Jamie: (To himself.) Stonewall. Thomas Stonewall. . . (To Brooke.) Thomas Stonewall (frustrated he can't remember.) what's his face.

Scene: Office.

(Val is on the phone and Tyler is waiting behind her.)

Val: Okay, bye Alex.

Tyler: What is it? What's wrong?

Val: National Weather Service is advising everyone to stay off the roads. Centennial Bridge is already closed.

Tyler: So much for reinforcements.

Val: Yeah, and Alex wants us all to stay on duty. He's expecting lots of storm related calls. He wants me to page Hank. (They share an Oh-No look.)

Scene: Hank's truck.

Radio announcer: The closing of Centennial Bridge is the big story. . .

Hank: Yeah, don't worry. They'll fix the bridge soon. In the mean time we'll just head on over to my house, okay? My parents are A-OK. (More lightning and thunder.) Whoa, that seemed pretty close huh? You know it's funny. I used to be scared of storms too. Yeah, I'd build forts outa whatever. . . Blanket and sheets. . . table and chairs. Empty boxes were the best though. Then I'd just crawl inside and stay there 'til the storm passed. It was the only place I felt safe. Know what I mean? (Sam nods. Hank's pager goes off.)

Stock shot: Outside station. Lots of rain.

Scene: Kitchen attached to the common room.

Tyler: What are you, insane?

Hank: You know Sam, I bet after all that riding around you really gotta use the bathroom, huh? It's straight through there. (Sam goes.)

Brooke: Boy, Mr. Revere wasn't kidding.

Jamie: I've heard more sound from a mime.

Hank: I tried to take him home but the bridge was closed and my parents aren't home so I couldn't take him there either. What other choice did I have?

Val: Poor kid.

Tyler: Poor us if Alex hears about it.

Val: We better hope Alex never finds out.

Alex: (They turn and see Alex dripping wet, standing in the doorway, using the frame to hold himself up. A little angry.) Finds out what?

[Commercial Break]

Scene: Common room. Continued.

Alex: (Still leaning against the doorframe for support.) Something is going on around here so what is it that you guys don't want me to find out?

Val: (Slowly.) Well, the truth is, we have Sam. . .

Jamie: Sam-Sam, salmonella reports.

Alex: Salmonella? (Jamie nods.)

Tyler: Uh, yeah. That's right, I must be from all the backed up storm drains.

Hank: Yeah, but I bet we see a rise in all kinds of food poisoning.

Alex: And how come you didn't want me to find this out?

Brooke: Because um. . . we know how much you love a good meal

Jamie: So uh, what brings you in on a day like this? (With false sympathy.) I heard you had a bad back.

Alex: And it's getting worse, but I couldn't ask you guys to pull a double shift and not help.

(All at the same time.)

Jamie: Sure you can.

Tyler: In you condition? We can handle it.

Brooke: You have to go home.

(Val and Hank probably say something, but we don't hear them.)

Alex: (Loudly to get their attention.) This storm settles in, the phones are gonna be ringing off the hook.

Scene: Rec room or another room that's not the common room.

(Sam is sitting on some boxes by the wall and the other five are crowded around a table in a huddle.)

Val: We're never gonna get away with this. He's gonna find out.

Tyler: I'm sure-

Brooke: (Quickly. Tyler doesn't stop talking.) I've got a thought.

Tyler: -Alex will understand if we explain.

Brooke: Hey, what if we-

Hank: (Interrupts Brooke, probably doesn't notice she's talking. Defensively.) Well It's not like I planned on the bridge being closed.

Brooke: You know it's really not too hard to just-

Jamie: (Interrupts Brooke. Grinning) This rocks, you guys lied to Alex.

Brooke: (Angry about being interrupted for the third time.) Quiet! (They turn.) Look, it's simple. Hank will watch Sam while the rest of us keep doing whatever we're doing. If Alex comes around, Hank will pass Sam to whoever is open until Alex is gone. If there's a call, I'll watch Sam until you guys are back. We clear?

Val: Yeah.

Brooke: Good. Now let's get busy. C'mon Jamie, back to the trenches. (She walks off and Jamie follows. Hank goes over to Sam and they watch Val and Tyler.)

Val: Hey, we've gotta come up with a product. Soon. Have you give any thought to my Danny Dust Cloth idea? I've come up with a prototype. (She holds up the cloth. It's got a face drawn on it.) See, it's Danny Dust Cloth: The dashing new way to get rid of dust and, and grime. (She loses confidence in her idea as she says it. Tyler takes a pen out of his pocket and takes the cloth from Val and starts writing something.) What are you doing?

Tyler: Well I still think my werewolf wipe has broader appeal. (Takes the cloth and puts it under the fridge, getting dust on it to make the face darker.)

Val: (To herself.) Werewolf wipe? Wherewolf wipe? (Louder) Ugh, werewolf wipe, no, it's too many Ws.

Scene: Hallway.

(Hank and Sam are sneaking down a hallway past the offices. Hank pauses to look in a window to make sure Alex can't see. He and Sam start walking past when you can see Alex in the window. Hank stops and turns so his back is to the window and Sam is in front of him, completely shielded by Hank.)

Alex: Hank! Would you give me a hand? I dropped an aspirin and I can't find it.

Hank: Sure, sure, no-no-no-no problem. (Gestures for Jamie to come and take Sam. Jamie's wheeling a cart full of supplies and Sam sits on the bottom. Hank goes into Alex's office.)

Alex: It's around here someplace. I think it rolled under the desk. (Hank bends down and looks out the door and sees Jamie wheeling Sam away.)

Scene: Storage closet in the garage.

(Sam's sitting there while Jamie is unloading the cart.)

Jamie: You know Sam, the truth is that we're both on the run. You from Alex and me from Atilla the Tutor. (Looks around to see if Brooke is coming.)

Brooke: (Of screen.) Jamie!

Jamie: (Puts his finger to his lips.) Shh. (And ducks away from the door so you could only see him if you're in front of him.)

Brooke: (Pops her head in the room where the storage room is to look for him.) Jamie, are you in here?

Jamie: (Peers around the door to see if Brooke is gone. She is.) Thanks buddy, I owe ya. (Goes back to unloading stuff.) She's killing me with all her trigger words and her memory systems. You know the funny thing is that I actually know most of this war stuff. It's just every time I sit down to take a history test, I freeze up. It's weird huh? You think it's nerves? (Sam shakes his head.) No, me neither. You gotta admit it's ironic though, you know my big brother Peter, (bitterly) Peter the Perfect, he actually aced history and I can't even make it through a test. It's like I know I'm doomed from the beginning. (Starts to figure something out.) Maybe that's it. Maybe that's why I can't finish a test, I quit before I even start.

Hank: (Loudly. Off screen.) Alex! Please don't go (Jamie looks worried. Cut to Ales and Hank walking down the hallway.) to the storage closet in the garage.

Alex: Hank, why are you shouting? I'm right here.

Hank: Because I don't think you should be looking through old files in your condition.

(Alex goes into the storage closet. Sam is nowhere in sight. Jamie's just standing there, leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed. Hank uses body language to ask where Sam went. Jamie does nothing.)

Alex: Uh, I hurt my back, not my brain. (Comes out with a box.)

Hank: Yeah, but uh, shouldn't push. (Checks down the hallway to make sure Alex is gone. Whispers anyway.) Where's Sam? (Jamie quietly swings the storage room door closed and we see Sam hanging there so that when the door was closed, he was facing the wall.) Thanks Jamie, I-I got him now.

Jamie: Yeah, no sweat man. He's a deep little dude. (Jamie walks away.)

Scene: Rec room.

(Hank is walking by with Sam on his shoulders. Alex comes out of his office, but lucky for Hank, he's bent over so much that he can only see feet.)

Alex: Hey Hank, is that you?

Hank: Alex, uh. . . (We see what Alex can see. Hank's feet.) did the aspirin help?

Alex: No, my back is killing me, I can even straighten up.

Hank: Shouldn't- shouldn't you be resting?

Alex: Yeah, it's funny. The phones have been really quiet. (Tyler pops his head out of another room and Hank gestures for him to come and take Sam. Tyler hurries out.) Then this guy named Revere calls on his cellular, it broke up really quick. But he says he got your message and he's sure that Sam is in good hands. (Tyler takes Sam off of Hank's shoulders.) Do you have any idea what he might have meant by that?

Hank: These hands are empty. (Shows him.)

Alex: It mush have been some kind of a crank. (Goes to his office. Calls back to them.) Hey Hank, is that Tyler with you? (Val comes out of the room she and Tyler were working in.)

Tyler: Uh, yeah. Who else? (They stand so that they shield Sam.)

Alex: Good, I need you guys to come in here and give me a hand moving some stuff, okay? (Val comes out and takes Sam. Together they inch past Alex's door, when they're clear Val and Sam run off and Tyler and Hank help Alex.)

Tyler: Okay, so what's the problem?

Scene: Rec room.

Val: Okay, have a seat Sam. (They both sit on stools.) You hungry, want something to drink? (He shakes his head.) No. (He picks up the tube and starts looking through it.) Oh, Tyler and I are working on a project. We have too make something out of that. Something somebody might wanna buy. Um for instance (Picks up the stick) Ricky the Stick. The world's most versatile toy, um you can swing him he's a bat, um twirl him he's a baton or a hiking stick or a limbo bar. Wh- wh-what do you think? (Sam shakes his head no. Val shakes her head.) Yeah, me too. But some of Tyler's other ideas: They're worse. But the thing is: I really, I like him. I mean, you know, as a friend. So I don't wanna hurt his feelings but I don't want a bad grade either. (Sighs.) So what do I do? Do I keep quiet so we can stay friends or do I tell him the truth?

Tyler: (Comes in.) Val, heads up. Alex's back is making him nuts. Hank's in there pulling files right now. He sent me out here to get your response log. (Val gestures to Sam in a What-About-Him kinda deal.) Don't worry, I'll take care of Sam until Hank's free.

Alex: Val! (She startles.) Where's the log book?

Val: I'm coming. (Tyler takes her seat.)

Tyler: So. . . Val tell you about our product? (Sam nods.) Yeah, what we really need is a good product. You know like this super cool, secret agent spy toy. (Tyler picks up the tube and looks through it.) You know, you look through it, it's surveillance. (Puts one end to his mouth and the other to Sam's ear.) You can talk into it. . . (Sam flinches and pulls away.) and risk going deaf. Sorry. (Tyler puts the tube down and sighs.) So, what do you think? Would you buy it? (Sam shakes his head no again.) No, me neither. So, what do I do? You know, say her idea stinks? Lie? Say nothing. (The alarm goes off and Sam startles and looks up in fear. Tyler gets up, but puts a hand on Sam's shoulder and tries to reassure him.) Listen Sam, don't- don’t let the noise scare you. (Brooke comes in and Val follows her.) It's like an alarm clock, only louder. Brooke here, will uh, hang out with you until we get back, okay? (They leave.)

Brooke: It'll stop soon. (It stops.) What'd I tell you? Peace and quiet.

Alex: Brooke! Go stop the squad! It's a false alarm. Catch 'em before they leave!

Brooke: Okay. (To Sam.) you just stay over here, okay? I won't be long. In fact, I'll be right back.

Scene: Rec Room.

(Jamie, Hank, Val and Brooke are all standing in the center of the room.)

Jamie: I can't believe our only call today is a false alarm.

Tyler: I guess people are being smart and staying put.

Hank: Hey, where's Sam? (Tyler shrugs.)

Jamie: (Sits down. We see Tyler's already sitting.) I don’t know. I gave him to you.

Hank: And I passed him to Tyler who passed him to Val.

Val: Yeah, but then I gave him back to Tyler.

Tyler: True, but when the alarm went off I gave him to Brooke.

Brooke: I- I said I'd be right back.

Hank: You left him alone?

Tyler: Okay, he's probably scared. Maybe he hid somewhere.

Val: Okay, let's split up and go look for him.

(They all get up. Jamie looks behind some garbage cans. And then in them. Brooke looks under a desk. Hank looks under a bed. Tyler looks in the back of an ambulance. Val looks under the sink. They all walk back into the Rec room. They haven't found him.)

Val: We have got to tell Alex about Sam.

Hank: Can, can we have just one more search.

Brooke: Sam must be so scared.

Jamie: Yeah, in a strange place where nothing feels safe.

Val: Okay, C'mon. (They start searching again.)

Hank: (Remembers the conversation from in the car.) Safe.

Scene: Outside a storage room.

Val: Sam? (She pulls the door open and the doll fall out. She gasps.)

Tyler: (Comes up behind her.) Hey.

Val: (Gasps again and turns around.) Tyler. You're lucky I didn't have Ricky the Stick with me. Clobber someone he's a weapon.

Tyler: (Laughs.) Well, when you say it like that I kinda sounds stupid.

Val: Yeah, almost as dumb as my secret agent spy spool or my Danny Dishcloth.

Tyler: Okay, how 'bout after we're done finding Sam we go back to the drawing board.

Val: You're on.

Scene: A room at the station.

(Hank comes in and sees a fort made out of blankets. Bends down and sees Sam in it.)

Hank: Wow, this fort is beyond cool, Sam. It's super cool. And I should know, I've made a zillion of them. That's how I finally knew where to find you. (Sits down outside the fort.) I though of out talk, remember about being scared in storms. Remember? (Sam nods.) But the thing is: Things happen all the time, Sam. Some things that are bad, and some things that are good, and some things that just. . . make us scared, like a storm, or an accident. (Sam looks down.) I felt scared that night too Sam. Scared that you may be hurt for the rest of your life. And for a moment I froze. Caught in the fear just like you are. But it's okay to be afraid sometimes, Sam. Everyone is. But you gotta let it go. And talking about it is a lot better than walling it up inside of you like a fort. So, what do you say? You wanna try it? Just you and me. Are you cool with that?

Sam: (Nods.) Super cool.

Hank: (Happy.) Su- Su- Super cool. (Grins.)

Scene: Garage.

(Brooke is taking inventory. Tyler and Val come in.)

Tyler: Brooke, congratulate us. You are looking at the Dynamic Duo who got an A on their marketing project.

Brooke: You're kidding. Um, no offence, but I thought your ideas were like, the worst.

Val: Oh, they were. But then Tyler came up with this great plan to embrace that by combining them all into one product: Danny Do-It-All.

Tyler: See, Val came up with the name, but what really sold it was the marketing. You gotta check it out.

(Val hits play on a CD player and music starts to play. They glance at each other and start laughing a little. Brooke gives them skeptical looks.)

Tyler: You ready? (She comes over to him and they stand next to each other.)

Val: So sit right down, we're here to tell you all a story.

Tyler: About a Do-It-All named Danny and he do it all for glory. (He holds up the product. The tube is stuck on the stick and the cloth is draped over the tube. They do motions that go along with whatever they're saying at the time.)

Val: He's here to help you stir it if you're mixing up a pie.

Tyler: Or a big old ugly swatter if you're bringing down a fly. (Puts it on the ground in front of Val.)

Val: Be a spy. (Bends down and looks through it.) Touch the sky. (Lifts it up.)

Tyler: Hold it up and wave buh-bye. (Tyler waves the stick and Val waves her hand.)

Val: Danny does it.

Tyler: A Do-It-All, a Do-It-All, a Do-It-All.

Val: He does, he does it. (Holds it up like a limbo pole and Tyler goes under it.)

Tyler: A Do-It-All, a Do-It-All, a Do-It-All. He can be there wiping dirt or be a collar for your shirt. (Holds the cloth up to his neck.)

Val: He's a way to get a boy or a puppet kind of toy. (We get a shot of Brooke watching. She's laughing. We see Jamie look in through a window in a door.)

Tyler: Or reaching low or reaching higher (Jamie comes in.) Danny does what you desire.

Val: (Crosses in front of Tyler) He's everything to make your hear go zing. He is the one and the only major multi trick pony.

Tyler: And my friends that's no bologna so do not accept a phony.

Val: Only Danny.

Tyler: A Do-It-All, a Do-It-All, a Do-It-All.

Val: Danny does it.

Tyler: A Do-It-All, a Do-It-All, a Do-It-All.

Val: He does, he does it. (Stops singing.) Call and order yours today.

Tyler: Word to the toll free number. (Brooke and Jamie start clapping.) So?

Jamie: So? So it's da bomb.

Val: Yeah?

Jamie: I mean that in more ways than one.

Brooke: Says the man who's flunking history.

Jamie: Not anymore.

Brooke: (Pleased and surprised.) You passed the test?!

Jamie: (Proud of himself.) Even better, I finished it. And Mr. Tate, he almost dropped his teeth when he found out I made a B+.

(Hank runs in.)

Val: You're cutting it close Beecham.

Hank: Yeah, I stopped by the Reveres to see Sam. The kid wouldn't shut up so I could leave.

Val: That's great.

Tyler: Okay, who's up for pizza?

Brooke: Not so fast, there's still cleaning to do before the city inspection. Un, unless of course you'd rather Alex find out all the details of how you guys tricked him. (They all look at each other for a second and then start cleaning.)

Hank: Good point.

Brooke: (Walks out of the Garage. Alex is standing outside the door. He's grinning.) Thanks for the idea. (Brooke grins too and they high five.) Worked like a charm.

Alex: It was my pleasure. (They walk off together. Alex rubs his back.)
