Baby-Sitters Club,
this is Kristy Thomas speaking.
Did he give you detention?
Essay.
On the importance of decorum.
What does that even mean?
Like not talking unless you’re called on, being polite, and invisible.
Meanwhile, the boys are in the back of the room
sticking Kleenex down their pants
and wiping sweat on each other but,
somehow,
I’m the disruptive one.
A baby-sitting business?
Not just a business – a club.
Kristy is starting a baby-sitting club.
She had her first meeting this afternoon. Right?
For girls to learn about baby-sitting?
No, a business where people hire us to baby-sit.
And it’s not just girls.
Boys can take care of kids too.
I’m bossy. Get used to it.
Summer look!
Thoughts?
Approved!
Adore.
[Claudia VO] I’m good at a lot of things.
Yes!
For example, fashion,
and baby-sitting.
I’m good at art.
Great, actually.
That’s really nice.
[Claudia VO] OMG. Trevor Sandbourne.
Be cool, Claudia. Breathe.
Fail.
Claudia,
you need to start taking school seriously this year.
This isn’t elementary school anymore.
Your grades are going on your permanent transcript.
Twizzlers!
Oh, that sculpture’s cool.
What’s it about?
Menstruation.
The fastest thing would be to use our existing platforms
to curate a community of influencers.
Give me your Insta handles and
I’ll cross reference our followers.
You just need to divide by 8, and then set the factor to 0,
and...
There you go.
How do you do that?
I’m pretty good at math.
[Stacey VO] It seems like I’m just a great baby-sitter.
- Hey. - Stacey!
- Can I go play? - Yeah, of course.
Thanks.
[beeping noise]
[Stacey VO] I need the club because I can’t lose my friends.
We all know, you’ve been hiding something all this time.
So, what is it?
I really can’t wait to have all you guys over.
My mom just wanted to finish the, um,
the bathroom renovations first.
We’ll go bikini shopping on our night off.
It’ll be our chance to bond!
Really?
Yeah!
Mary Anne, I just saw my husband!
Oh, my god.
Wait, you’re going to Burger Garden later?
That’s insane. Guess where I’m going to be?
Burger Garden.
Rad.
I want to be secretary.
I’m organized and excellent at record keeping.
I’ll also start a Google doc recording the details of our jobs.
And I’ll take minutes at every meeting
and distribute them at the end of the week.
If that’s okay with everybody...
[Mary Anne VO] I’m very aware that I’m the least cool member
of The Baby-Sitters Club.
Claudia is a style icon,
Kristy totally rocks the normcore look,
and Stacey is so chic she’s practically French.
Meanwhile...
Make it fashion.
I’ve almost convinced my dad to let us Postmates pizza and ice cream.
Double dairy. Wow.
What’s next– the key to the liquor cabinet?
Sugar is progress.
Oh, how we rage.
I just moved here from LA.
I know. I wish the stereotypes weren’t true but
we do eat differently out there.
Richie, hello darling.
I was just calling to say you should come over for dinner.
Maybe we could share a wine?
Okay.
On the rocks?
Nobody drinks wine on the rocks.
Dawn, return your mother’s phone.
Moving across the country is about as big a change as you can make.
It means a lot that you’re bringing me.
It’ll be so nice to feel like a part of something again.
I brought Dawn with me today
because she’s a great friend and a great babysitter.
There’s great things about change, too.
Like my new friend,
who I brought with me today,
Mary Anne.
Snail!
