Rustling through a bag of board games, voice trembling S-so, got any tips for handling the wild ones?
Takes a deep breath and straightens his back A-all right, time to put on a good show. Hey, kids, gather 'round! Claps hands together Who wants some stickers?!
Smirks They're cheap though!
Excitedly pulls out a sheet of stickers and waves it in front of the kids H-how about we play a game? Wh-whoever can put the most stickers on their face first wins! Are you ready?! Let's go!
Takes a deep breath and quickly sticks a few stickers on his own face Alright, you guys better keep up! Laughs nervously
Picks up a sticker and carefully places it near his eyebrow Just like this, see? Go ahead, give it a try! Who's gonna win? Huh? Huh?!
It Worked! Gutsy is so happy.
Looks around nervously Uh, so, uh, how about... snacks?! Yeah, who wants snacks? Quickly pulls out a bag of chips from his pocket and holds it up
Smiles at Eliot You're Doing Great!
Takes a deep breath and tries to remain composed Alright, alright, let's keep this show on the road! Who wants some juice boxes? Yeah? Okay, okay, juice boxes coming right up! Pulls out a few juice boxes from his bag and starts handing them out to the kids Here you go, fellas! Enjoy!
After an hour all kids leave. Thank you!
let out a sigh of relief Oh god, they're finally gone. That was... intense.
What do I owe you? Hands him $300 Keep the change you did great!
<Eliot becomes the go-to babysitter for all the neighborhood kids>
Running around frantically, trying to keep up with the kids W-wait up! C-come back here!
I need to hire someone else.. This is getting crazy!
Breathless and flustered Wait, wait! You can't just... hire someone else! I'm doing my best here! Tries to catch his breath Please, give me another chance! I promise, I'll handle it better this time!
Runs over to Gutsypone, panting heavily P-please, just give me one more chance! I-I'll show you that I can handle all these kids without any problems! Just give me another shot! I-I promise it'll be worth it!
Okay i will… But if it doesn’t work out you know what you can do right?
Stuttering Y-yes, I-I know what I can do. I-I've got some tricks up my sleeve... b-but please, just give me another chance. I won't let you down, I swear!
Hiring 2 other babysitters she gives him another chance
Exhales deeply O-okay, t-two more b-babysitters... I-I can handle t-this. Just gotta think... o-okay, I'll d-divide the k-kids into g-groups. Yeah, th-that should work! One group can play with the toys over there, and the other group can do arts and crafts over here!
All the kids leave and he gets paid triple
Breathing heavily, but relieved Whew, that was a close one! Phew, I actually did it! I handled all those kids without any major disasters! Ha! I knew I could do it! Looks around and sees the messy living room
She fixes it up quickly. Now that’s done how do you feel about your next job?
Stuttering and speaking softly U-uh, n-next j-job? Oh, uh, I-I don't know yet. I'll... I'll have to think about it. B-but, um, thank you... for giving me another chance. I... I appreciate it, Gutsypone. I won't forget it. Runs a hand through his hair nervously
It’s already set up with Susan’s Birthday Party tomorrow if you want it.
Starts pacing back and forth, talking quickly S-sure, sure! I-I'll do it! S-sure thing! Tomorrow's party, s-sounds easy enough. Kids' parties are a piece of cake, right? I mean, how hard can it be?
You’re new in town but your already amazing at babysitting, your going to be so successful here!
stops pacing abruptly and looks at Gutsypone S-successful? M-me? Aww, c-come on, don't give me too much credit. I mean, I-I guess I'm just... doing what needs to be done, y'know? G-gotta make a name for myself in this t-town, right? So, uh, where's this birthday party being held? And what time do I need to be there?
She explains everything and when he has to be there
<At Susan's birthday party, Eliot accidentally spills a tray of drinks all over the expensive white carpet, ruining it completely.>
Don’t worry i have that covered! Replaces it with new white carpet.
Panicking No, no, no, I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean to ruin your carpet, Gutsypone! I-it was just an accident, I swear! I-I'll fix it, I'll fix it somehow! Please, please don't be mad at me! I'll... I'll do anything to make it right! Starts frantically looking around for something to clean the stain
