The Loud House | Clyde McBride’s ‘Absent Minded’ Secret 🤫 | Nick
[Bell ringing]

Clyde McBride: Principal Huggins, got a second?

Wilber Huggins: I always have time for a VIP like you, Mr. Perfect Attendance!

Clyde Mc Bride: You shouldn't call me that, Sir.

Wilber Huggins: Don't be so modest, Son. I know what a big deal this award is. You know the last kid to win it, 30 years ago? This good looking guy right here!

Clyde McBride: Actually I er... just discovered er--

Wilber Huggins: I'd like to make you my junior administrator! It's a lot of responsibility. You'll raise the flag every day, help Cheryl with the clerical work, weigh on the cafeteria menu, oversee the hall monitors and read the morning announcements!

Clyde McBride: M-- m-- morning announcements?

Wilber Huggins: Well, if you're going to stutter like that, you can't do it. And if all goes well, who knows, McBride? Who knows? Maybe someday you'll be sitting at this... very... desk!

Clyde McBride: [gasping] Lincoln Loud Jr. please report to the principal's office! Again...

Wilber Huggins: So what do you say?

Clyde McBride: I accept, Sir!

[horn blowing]
Clyde McBride: Uh, the golf cart? No way!

Wilber Huggins: Just one of the perks of being Junior Administrator!

[tires screeching]

Wilber Huggins: Later, Mr. Junior Administrator!

Lincoln Loud: Wow, Clyde! Junior Administrator? So, Principal Huggins didn't care that you missed one day of school?

Clyde McBride: Actually, I didn't tell him. He offered me this job and said he thinks I could be principal someday! It's the dream I never knew I had! Do you think less of me for not being honest?

Lincoln Loud: Not at all and I think you'd make a great principal!

Clyde McBride: Thanks, buddy, I'll try not to be too hard on Lincoln Jr.

Lincoln Loud: What?

[music playing]

Clyde McBride: Mmm-hmm [slurping] Mmm-hmm, perhaps a bit more oregano. Very good, yes, yes. Looking good, troops! Now, Norm just waxed the floors, so let's be extra careful out there, people.

Cheryl: Knock 'em dead, sugar! Going live in three, two--

[music playing]
Clyde McBride: Good morning, Royal Woods Elementary, this is Junior Administrator Clyde McBride with today's announcements! Due to a statewide investigation into the effects of chalk dust, no erasers are to be clapped until further notice.

Cheryl: I'm so happy you're here, Clyde! Land sakes, I can sure use the help with my new project! Digitizing all the student files!

Clyde McBride: Student files? Does that include attendance records?

Cheryl: Well, why wouldn't it, June bug?

Clyde McBride: [crashing]

Cheryl: [screaming]

[door slamming]

Clyde McBride: Lincoln, I've got a code butterscotch!

Lincoln Loud: Cheryl's digitizing the school records and is going to find out that your attendance isn't perfect?

Clyde McBride: Exactly, but I've got a plan!

Lincoln Loud: I'm in!

Clyde McBride: I'm going back to school after Principal Huggins and Cheryl leave to remove my file!

Lincoln Loud: I'm in!
Clyde McBride: Now, I know it sounds risky and I understand if you don't wanna get involved,

Lincoln Loud: I'm in!

Clyde McBride: but it would really mean a lot to me if-- Wait, did you say you're in?

Lincoln Loud: Three times.

Clyde McBride: Oh, you're the best, buddy.

[music playing]

Lincoln Loud: Whoa, this could take a while. Well, that took less time than I thought it would!

Clyde McBride: We did it and with my file safely in my possession, my little secret is perfectly safe. Now no one will ever know I lied about my perfect attendance. Success!

Lincoln Loud: Success!

Norm: [mopping]

Clyde McBride & Lincoln Loud: [screaming]

Clyde McBride: What is Norm still doing here? Do you think he heard what I just said?

Lincoln Loud: Probably not.

Clyde McBride: He must have, these halls echo like the Grand Canyon! Now he's gonna tell Principal Huggins, who'll interrogate me and I'll crumble like a cookie! It's what I do! There goes the dream I just discovered I had.

Lincoln Loud: OK, take it easy, Clyde.

Clyde McBride: We have to make sure Norm stays quiet! And I know how to do it...

[toilet flushing]

Clyde McBride: Toilets are all clean, how's it going out here?

Lincoln Loud: The soap scum and mildew are almost gone, I think we may be stuck with the smell forever though.

Norm: Loud, McBride, are you boys... cleaning?

Clyde McBride: Yep, just thought you could use a little help!

Norm: Wow, much appreciated! I haven't touched this bathroom since the great flood of 2012!

Clyde McBride: Well, now you don't have to! And you know what they say, Norm, I scratch your back, you scratch mine? So, we're good, right?

Norm: I ju-- scra-- you-- what?

Clyde McBride: Uh-uh, you don't have to say anything. You said it all with your eyes. We did it! Now no one will never know I lied about my attendance record! Do you think Coach Pacowski heard what I just said?

Lincoln Loud: Probably not.

Clyde McBride: He must have, the acoustics in here are like Carnegie Hall!

Lincoln Loud: Clyde I really think--

Clyde McBride: We have to make sure coach stays quiet! Ad I know how to do it...
