everybody remember
all the different types

You shouldn't ever
talk back to a customer,
and you should
up sell as much as you can.
Does everyone know
what up selling means?
Okay.

Three, two, one.
Hi! I'm Olive, and I'm a Girl
Scout from Troop 219.
Cookies are the same, but
the price did go up.
Unfortunately, it's now $6,
but we can do the math for you.
-I want to stop for one second.
-I feel like that's the part
that's taking too long. And I
like the joke that
we can do math,
but I don't think it's working,
so I think maybe we cut that?
Okay.
My website is
me want cookies.com,
[growl] Cookie Monster!
So if you want to
buy, come there.
I'll also be at several booths.
Thank you for watching. Bye!
Okay.
How... was that good?
It was... yeah, it
was good. I liked it.
But was it good
enough for the website?
I mean... [laughs]
Ye... I...
[sigh] I can do this.
Let's start again.
Okay. Three, two, one.
Hello, I'm Olive, and I'm
a Girl Scout Daisy.
My goal, as you can see on
the yardstick I have, is 1,500.
[newscaster] During her past
seven years as a Girl Scout,
she kept breaking records
and making WBTV headlines.
I want to sell 5,000 this season.
You want to sell 5,000?
Yeah, but how long is this
season going to be?
So it's going to
be shorter this year.
Oh, maybe 4,000 then.
You think so?
Yeah, because it will still
be a challenge for me,
and that's what I wanted
to do all along.
Challenge myself, right?
-Challenge yourself.
-Do you think you
could ever sell
8,000 cookies again?
No.
How much work do you
think you'd have to put into it?
-A lot.
-[laughing] A lot.
[Olive] I want to take it
a little easier this year.
[inquisitive music]
[girl] Twist me,
turn me, show me the elf.
I looked into the mirror and
all I saw was myself.
Shannon Elizabeth,
who do you see?
Me and Bunny.
-[Mom] You are a new Brownie.
-Go join your troop.
[girls, together] Your
Brownie adventure starts now.
[troop leader] Congratulations,
Shannon Elizabeth!
[inquisitive music continues]
-[girl] I will do my best.
-[group] I will do my best.
-[girl] To be honest and fair.
-[group] To be honest and fair.
-[girl] Friendly and helpful.
-[group] Friendly and helpful.
[girls giggling]
[Mom] Have you
girls seen the prizes?
-My backpack is too old.
-[Mom] You need a new backpack?
So this is going
to be the backpack
that you're going to aim for?
-Yes.
-I love it.
-I'm going to aim for this.
-To go to camp.
-So you want 2,750 packages?
-Yep.
-Girl.
-That should be easy.
-2,750 is a really big goal.
-I know.
Last year I sold 1,759.
-What's the prize again?
-[S.E.] Camp!
So in the past we
haven't been able to go
to camp because,
well, to be very honest,
it's very, very expensive.
I imagine camp with zip-lines,
a big slide, and a
mini golf course.
Maybe some archery if there is.
[Mom] Sounds like you've been
talking to some
older Girl Scouts.
[Shannon Elizabeth chuckles]
-[mimicking doorbell]
-"Ring-a-ling-a-ling."
Oh, hi, Ellie.
I'm selling cookies.
Would you like any?
My goal is to be
My goal is... for this year
is 55, but last year
I only sold five or six.
There are three that
are peanut buttery,
and the others
are just mostly-dry.
[Mom] Ara do you think anybody at
kindergarten would
want to order cookies?
Who knows?
So if we're going
to sell 55 boxes,
just for easy math,
that's like $300.
Does that make sense?
What? I'm not going to buy
them. I'm going to sell them.
Right, but you have to buy your
inventory first and then sell it.
-I'll pay half the money, okay?
-You'll pay half the money?
Yeah. Actually, I'm
going to pay most of it.
I'll pay one fifty dollars of it.
Fifty dollars of it?
-I said 100.
-Oh, $150 of it.
No, actually, I'm just going
to do $100 of it.
Okay. Okay, you'll
help us buy the inventory.
And then once we have it, we're
going to sell it.
Okay?
[dance music]
Hey sisters
You know that you got
everything you need
[sister] Oh yeah, okay, like
Hey sisters
[music stops, then restarts]
-Nyah, can I join?
-Hold on, Nikki, wait.
I could just easily be
in the middle. It's fine.
No, I don't want you in my
TikTok right now.
Bye. I told you
to go on your iPad.
[music restarts]
[calm acoustic guitar]
[Nikki] So this is
my Girl Scout vest.
These are all
places I've been to.
-[friend] Boston, Hollywood
-New York, Washington.
When you're selling
Girl Scout Cookies,
you have to set your goals.
And then when you have your
money, you get to go places.
Ohhhhhh.
So, you know, my
mom and my sister,
they went to Europe, France,
and that's where I'm going to.
This is my sister, Nala.
This is my sister, Nyah.
I think they are the most
beautiful sisters.
-And I want to follow after them.
-Wow.
When they were my age, they
were the top cookie sellers.
[laid back hip hop]
Aaahhhhhh. Girl Scouts!
[newscaster] They're cute
Oh, cookie time
-[newscaster]
-entertaining, sing and
rap about the Girl
Scout organization's
most popular product.
Cookie, cookie, cookie time.
Oh, cookie time
I get people to get excited
about getting Girl Scout Cookies.
Come buy some
Girl Scout Cookies
[rap] Cookies
They're only five dollars
[rap] Cookies
They're only five dollars
[Nala] I was Cookie Queen
at your age. I had a trophy.
-How much...
-How much did you sell?
-I sold 3,300.
-Wow.
-It's broken, but
-[Nikki] It's broken?
Yeah, but here it is.
-[Nikki] What?
-We can hot glue gun it.
But it looked like this, and I
have the medal upstairs.
I wanna be the top Chino seller.
[Mom] Like Nyah and Nala.
["Kids in America"

[fun rock music]
Friday night and
everyone's moving
I can feel the heat but
it's soothing, heading down
[Mom] Here it goes alright!
Red, orange, yellow, green.
-[Horn honking]
-[girls] Yay!
We're the kids in America
Everybody live
for the music-go-round
[Mom] You wanna
pause your book for
a second and come
see what we got?
Woooooooow!
Fifty, fifty-five, sixty,
sixty-five, seventy.
Twenty-three,
twenty-four, twenty-five.
We're the kids in America
We're the kids in America
Everybody live
for the music-go-round
Samoas my favorite.
And over here we can make a fort.
-Celia, good luck!
-Good luck to you too!
[fun rock continues]
[Dad] $18,000 worth
of Girl Scout Cookies.
This is like half the trailer.
12,000 cookies we moved.
I have a mortgage payment in
my house right now of cookies.
It's slightly terrifying
to know that this
is all, like, what
we're responsible for.
So we are gonna owe that
money regardless.
-And, clap and say "Sir!"
-Sir!
-And bow "yes I can."
-Yes I can!
-One.
-Hiyaa!
-Two.
-Hiyaa!
-Ready, last one.
-Best one.
-Ready and go!
-Hiyaa!
Ow! That hurt.
You can do this,
believe in yourself.
I've been trying!
Would you like to buy
some Girl Scout Cookies?
Absolutely.
-Oh, you've got my favorite.
-Caramel deLites.
[teacher] You set a goal, you
accomplish that goal.
I see you going
around to the parents
and selling cookies all day long.
Friday, Saturday,
Sunday, all about
selling and meeting your goals.
Every Girl Scout makes a goal and
tries to accomplish
it or go past it.
Every girl has a chance
to be the top seller.
Everyone's committed to it.
Three, two, one.
Nope. Aw
Okay, can you
add less toss though?
[percussive music]
I'm your local cookie ninja.
Please buy cookies or else!
-[Dad] Or else!?
-[all laughing]
Or else!? Where
did that come from?
Maybe the
"I'm going to camp."
Maybe the Yeah, the goal stuff.
-Maybe the 2,750.
-Not the "or else."
Or else?
[Mom] Well, now
I feel threatened.
I feel a little threatened.
[cheerleaders] Five, seven,
one, two, three, four, five
[bouncy electronic music]
[customer] Thank you!
[Nikki] Was it this
one or Toffee-tastic?
[Mom] Okay!
[woman] I would like one box of
Samoas, please.
Here's my phone.
So if I'm buying eight cookies,
what's eight times six?
[Nikki] I believe it's 48.
[Mom] Eight times six.
You were right, 48.
Do another one.
We're gonna practice
and you've got to be
quick because we've got a cookie
booth on Friday and Saturday
and it's gonna be really crowded
and you have to get on it. Okay?
-[Nyah] Girl, give me some!
-[Nikki] I just gave you one!
[girls laughing]
[Mom] It's really hard to
manage cookies, school, cheer.
So when you do have downtime,
if you're not doing homework
-[Nyah] We need to be selling.
-You need to be selling.
So Nikki, you're
the hook, so you're
going to be getting the customers
and then you're gonna bring them
over to Nyah, who's
going to explain
the different cookie flavors and
the prices and then Nyah,
you're going to hand
them over to Nala,
who will finish
off the transaction.
We're not going to pay off
your trip to Europe.
[Dad] That's right, you've
got to earn every single penny.
[Mom] Every single cent has to
come from you guys.
[Dad] Because nothing's gonna
be handed to you. Trust me.
[Mom] So your numbers are 1,600.
1,600.1,800.
I know you have school, I know
you have all this other stuff
going on, but you
told me your numbers
and I'm going to hold you
accountable for
your cookie goals.
[girls together] Make new
friends, but keep the old
One is silver and
the other's gold
A circle is round
It has no end
That's how long I want to
be your friend
Last year, we were the
top-selling troop in Charlotte.
We sold 19,757 boxes.
All the cookies
we sell, that goes
to funding everything that we do.
Does anybody have
something they say to
themselves to help
them keep going? Olive?
If you want to hit your
goal, you've got to work for it.
I'm just copying you, but yeah,
you say that to me, so.
-Quinn?
-Do it for the money.
Celia?
I like to, I think
of, like, travel.
I'm doing all this hard work
now, but maybe in a year
if I collect enough buzz bucks,
I'll be able to have
a relaxing weekend.
I'm always like, "Let's outsell
Olive this year."
[Mom] It helps to have somebody
that you want to compete with.
[Olive] We're gonna
wagon and deliver
all our Girl Scout Cookies today.
Clementine, come on.
[bustling music]
Right here.
May I get two Samoas
and a Thin Mint?
Would you like to add two more
and make that an even 30?
Sure, yeah, we'll do,
uh, one more Samoa.
Here, throw in another box
of Samoas, please.
And, uh, let's do
a Thin Mint, too.
Would you like to add two more
and make it an even 30?
Good salesperson uh, sure.
Very good salesperson, Olive.
Oh, I'd like to be
a Supreme Court Justice.
[laughing] Oh!
[Mom] Who's going to be
our next person? That one?
Who is it going to be? Release!
Excuse me, would you like to
buy some Girl Scout Cookies?
Of course!
[S.E.] Would you guys like to
buy some Girl Scout Cookies?
Would you guys like to buy some
Girl Scout Cookies?
-I'll take the chocolate chip.
-Absolutely.
Yeah, they're the
brand, brand new.
There's nine different varieties.
The healthiest is the Trefoil.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome!
-[Nikki] Hello, hello!
-Girl Scout Cookies!
[Nyah] You kind of want to just
bargain them to buy more cookies.
Try to trick them to
buy more cookies.
Just like if their favorite candy
is Reese's, say,
we have Tagalongs.
[Nyah] We have a cookie
that just tastes like Reese's.
This is an Adventureful.
It's including, uh,
brownie-inspired
cookies with caramel.
I kind of like this one.
And I mostly... I
tried a new one,
and I like this one
now, because...
-Those are Daddy's favorites.
-Yeah.
-They're gluten-free?
-Yeah.
Oh, okay
-[customer] How many do we have?
-Eighty-six.
Eighty-six boxes of cookies!
-Downstairs? Betsy?
-Alright, let's go.
[Nala] All these
cookies are going
to this wonderful trip to Europe.
[sisters] France
Rome, London, Italy
-What... you guys are going?
-She's going too.
My Girl Scout troop
went to Palm Springs!
What's the... What's
the margin on that?
For Girl Scouts, we only get
about like $1 of...
-Per box.
-Yeah, per box.
-Out of the $6, we get $1.
-You think that's a good profit?
Well, I mean, I
think... you know, we
work with higher
margins, obviously.
However, I think that's a pretty
good margin on that.
Would you say, Betsy?
I'd ask for more.
[Olive] Out of this.
How much goes to our troop?
So our troop gets this dollar
plus ten cents.
And all this money
goes to Council.
That's not fair!
So part of this goes to Little
Brownie Bakers.
Part of it goes
to staff salaries.
Part of it goes to facilities.
Part of it goes to programming.
But we are the ones that do all
the work, so we should get this.
[Celia] Let's see.
I wonder, are we going to do like
a backpacking trip next year?
-That's what we're trying to do?
-Oh, I hope not.
I really hope we get to do
the Puerto Rico trip.
Like, imagine how
fun that would be.
Celia, I want to form a Girl
Scout committee of people
who are willing to fight
for their Girl Scouting rights.
Alexa, how many
Girl Scout Cookies
are sold each year in the USA?
-[Alexa voice]
-Approximately 200 million
boxes are sold
each year in the USA,
generating close to $800 million
in total sales.
-$800 million?
-[Celia] That's a lot of money.
When we get a dollar
per box, or $1.10,
that's only somewhere between
19 and 22 percent approximately.
-It's technically child labor.
-Yeah.
-But...
-Not forced, but...
But, yeah, we signed up for this.
But, um, and it's fun.
I love selling cookies.
[playful piano music]
[Dad] You can only have a
quarter of each one, okay?
Okay, I'm going to give Ara
some insulin, okay?
Yeah, hold on one second.
[Mom] Oh, but Daddy and I
haven't even had the Thin Mint.
Mom, can I please have a Trefoil?
In a second. We're
zapping you first.
Ara, do you want
to do it actually?
-Yeah.
-Okay, click the...
-[Mom] Hold on.
-[Dad] That button.
-One second.
-Let's zap Ara first.
Okay, let's now try to
look at them by their sugars.
[Ara] The next lowest number
looks like it is this one.
It looks like it's
your favorite ones.
So your favorite ones are the
second amount of carbs, huh?
So that's not bad. We can go
for Samoas sometimes.
Yeah.
And also, if we do the right
amount of insulin,
then we can have
-whatever we want, huh?
-Yeah.
-[soft piano]
-Ellie, I'm cutting the cookies
so that we can
have the taste test
because I want you
to help me recommend.
And because I have diabetes, so
I can't have as much sugar.
Didn't you like the cookies?
[Ara as Ellie] Yeah, I love it.
Oh, hi. I didn't see you there.
My name's Ara, and guess what?
It's Girl Scout Cookie season!
And try to look over here
if you can, okay?
I'll put this next to me.
Buy your favorite
cookies online today.
Nice work. How many cookies do
you think you'll sell online now?
-I don't know.
-500?
-Hilarious.
-[laughing] Okay.
[plucky, inquisitive
string music]
Here's the cookie costume!
[Dad] Are you wearing a
cookie costume at your thing?
No, but you are.
I am? Are we doing
these two signs?
[Mom] Yeah, but
we need yardsticks.
[Dad] I have some fresh ones.
I'm going to put
these in the back.
[Olive] And then Thin Mints are
green, so they go right here.
[Mom] This is going to be windy,
but we're going to have to lean.
This is going to be so
embarrassing, but here we go.
Good luck Dad, break a leg.
Come on in. Right over there.
-[singing, winded]
-Girl Scout Cookies.
Would you like to add two more
to make it an even 30?
Sure.
I suggest the Adventurefuls.
Yeah, I think three will be good.
-Alright.
-Thank you so much.
You know what? Sure, because
you're such a good sales lady.
The Adventurefuls are one of my
favorites. It's a
brownie cookie with
a chocolate bottom,
caramel filling
and chocolate drizzled on top.
-You know what?
-That was a good sales job.
I'll take one of those too.
Thank you so much. Have a great
rest of your day and enjoy.
[Mom] Would you like
some Girl Scout Cookies?
Mama, let's stop asking people.
I know. They just
keep coming.
They just keep coming
and coming and coming.
It's 30 minutes over.
Oh, they're open 'til three now.
Who is?
-I'm not saying anything.
-I'm just reporting
that they're open 'til three now.
I don't care.
I mean, I do care because that's
longer we can eat biscuits,
but we're not extending our
booth to five hours of selling.
-That would be hard.
-That would be hard.
You do understand that, right?
Let's see if these
guys want some first.
That's like almost a school day.
Would you guys like some
Girl Scout Cookies?
Alright. I'm going
to start loading
boxes in before
you sell some more.
-Okay, Mama?
-Okay.
-I think I'm getting a pimple.
-[laughing] You think so?
-It's gonna be my first pimple.
-See? It's right here.
-[laughing] I don't know.
-Can't you see it?
I do, but it looks more like
it's irritation.
Aww.
[Dad] Babe, can you help me?
-[Mom] Bronco, right?
-[Dad] Bronco Swap Meet.
[Mom] Got it. Dude, the
last time I went was years ago.
[Dad] Yeah, I haven't been
there since the '90s.
There's a lot of people. There's
a lot of traffic.
-Are you guys excited?
-[Mom] I'm excited.
-You ready, kid?
-Uh-huh.
-Alright. Okay. Here we go.
-[S.E.] Go big or go home.
[Mom] Hello, Girl Scout Cookies.
[Dad] Completely empty.
[together] Girl Scout
Cookies for sale.
Come and get your
Girl Scout Cookies.
Come and get your
Girl Scout Cookies.
I'm okay, thank you.
[driver] Beep beep.
[Mom] Galletas!
You guys need to come on Sundays.
It just got windy, yeah
Yeah, today is not,
like, a really good day.
[Dad] It's actually kind of cool.
You put it on your head.
[S.E.] Yeah, I really love it.
Since you're special, we'll go
ahead and just give it to you.
-[Mom] Really?
-Yes.
Thank you.
[Dad] Can I give
her some cookies?
We give you a
cookies. Get a cookie.
Oh my gosh.
[Dad] Okay. Do you want to
start counting those?
We had 12 there,
13, 14 Adventurefuls.
Barely sold today.
-Your goal again is?
-2,750.
Right. Like after
the third week,
that's when the
decline hits, right?
-Like the third week.
-What's a decline?
Decline, baby, is when everybody
has already had enough cookies
and they're like,
"No, we're kind of
"tired of cookies"
or "Oh, we already
"bought cookies from
someone else," right?
But we can still hit
the neighborhoods.
Uh-huh.
[Dad] If we can each
sell 50 boxes at work.
[Mom] Right. And then Grandma's
going to try to sell another 50.
-[S.E.] We can't stop now.
-[Mom] Okay. I'm feeling better.
[bouncy French pop music]
[Olive] This will
be my seventh year
being a Girl Scout.
I'm now a Cadette.
Wow. That's
fantastic. What do you
love most about
being a Girl Scout?
Well, of course I
love cookie sales,
but I also enjoy hanging
out with my friends
and making memories.
For me, um, Girl Scouts
is about really looking
at the unique needs of girls and
preparing our future leaders.
[Celia] How was your
news interview, Olive?
The CEO was on with me.
It was just cookie trivia.
That was really all it was.
I think they did a good job
of having a good show,
but it wasn't necessarily good
for business or anything.
What do you mean? Did they,
like, put your link up?
-No.
-Really?
-I asked them to later.
-They said they could, I think.
-Did they?
-I don't know.
[loud slurping of soup]
[power drill]
[Dad] Perfect.
How many boxes of cookies do you
think will fit in here?
-Probably 55.
-Perfect.
[huffing] I'm gonna get it.
Do you think you're ready to pull
this wagon across
the entire beach?
Yeah!
[Ara] Chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga, chugga
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga.
Oof, chugga, chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga, chugga.
Oof!
[quirky piano music]
My goal for Pilates
is to get at least
strong enough to
pull that big wagon.
[quirky piano music]
[Ara straining]
-You go forward, up and around.
-Forward, up and around.
-[Ara straining]
-No, thanks. It's my job.

It was good.
I had Fun Friday today, so we
were making this
Valentine's heart.
It goes like that.
[loud chewing]
[Mom] Whatever you're
feeling right now, Nala,
you need to let it go.
You got a job to do
and you gotta do it.
See how Nala doesn't help?
I hate that she's a teenager.
Hi, would you like to buy some
Girl Scout Cookies?
-Hi, would you...
-Louder, LOUDer, LOUDER.
Very good. Turn

It's like a brownie cookie with

-Yeah.
[Nala] The younger
one's over there.
-[Dad] Do you need any help?
-[Ara] No. It's fine.
Are you sure? I can help you.
No, it's fine on the sidewalk.
Okay.
[small fast footsteps]

I'm okay. Thank you, though.
You're welcome.
Hello. Would you like to

One Thin Mint and one Thin Mint?
Thank you.
You're wel... good... That's a
good choice. Good b... bye bye.
-I know, right? Thank you.
-Have a nice... have a nice day!
[Dad] It's getting
a little bit dark.
Do you think we
should call it a day?
How about just one more box?
I'm just gonna sell this one
more Girl Scout S'Mores.
Okay.
Hello. Would you like to
buy some Girl Scout Cookies?
Not today, thank you.
Hello. Would you like to
buy some Girl Scout Cookies?
Maybe a little bit
later. Thank you.
Okay.
Have a goo... have a nice day!
She said maybe later.
-[Dad laughing] Okay.
-So let's just wait for her
to come back a
little. Let's just wait.
I'll just wait for
her to come back.
Have a nice day!
[Dad] Ara, I think it's getting
a little bit late.
I think we should
maybe go home, yeah?
No. I just want to
sell one more to her.
She said she'll get one later.
Okay. You could ask these
folks if you want.
And then we'll try... and then
maybe we'll go home, okay?
Hello. Would you like to
buy some Girl Scout Cookies?
[pedestrian] Would
you like some cookies?
[Ara] Would you like to buy
some Girl Scout Cookies?
-How much are they?
-They are each six bucks.
-Oh, is it just cash?
-Yeah.
Ah! I don't know if I have any.
I have No, I don't
have. I have $5.
That's all I have. I don't have
$6. I'm sorry, my darling.
You can also
You can scan the code.
Yay!
Take the money first, then
give the product.
[Mom] I'm just gonna take
your pod off, okay?
And then get ready
for bed. How's that?
Okay, here we go. Awesome.
Just put some insulin
in your pod friend
Awesome.
Yeah, okay, night-night.
Night, Mommy.
Night-night. Love you.
Night, good night.
[light snoring]
[insects chirping]
[Dad] Are you ready
Olive? Here we go.
Alright. So the good news
is, drumroll please,
I hit my goal!
4,000 cookie boxes.
There's a few
weeks left, so I think
that I might be
up to the challenge
of maybe trying to reach 5,000.
So I'm hoping you guys can help
me out once again.
So where are you right now?
[Celia] I'm just like 3,100,
something like that.
You hit your goal?
Yeah, so I'm planning
on going to 4,000.
Would that be a record?
Yeah, I think last year I
only did like 3,100.
I was talking to my mom the
other day about how this year
might be my last year selling,
like, super, like every week
I have to sell on
Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday, I have
to do two booths a day
and I have the wagon and
stay up late and wake up early.
You know, this might be my last
year doing that. And she said,
"That's fine, but
you can't give up"
"cookies entirely
because you guys have to,"
"you know, sell all the extras."
You know how
many girls who didn't...
aren't selling cookies
this year? So many.
Imagine if one year we're
just like, "we're not going to"
"sell cookies this year."
We couldn't do that.
So although people
are like, "oh, you"
"know, like the
leaders' daughters,
"they get like extra treatment,"
we actually don't.
-Hello, I'm Olive.
-It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
-I like your coat.
-Thank you. I like your outfit.
Thank you. Thank you.
You're welcome.
[host] Welcome,
friends. This is Promenade.
It's going to be a good class.
So you're going to sit down and
raise your hand if
you can remind us.
What should that look like?
You're descending into
the chair like what?
-Yes?
-An elevator.
Like you were riding on
an elevator. Exactly, Olive.
So we're going
to just sit straight down,
ready, and have a seat.
Beautiful. So last
week, we talked about
etiquette, and we said it was
a fancy word for what?
-Yes?
-Manners.
Manners, 100
percent, or knowing how
to handle yourself.
Celia, go for it.
Being like a presentable adult
and like a well-mannered adult.
A well-mannered
adult. Yes. Do you
remember another
word I used for it, too?
Decent.
To the right, other
way. To the left.
To the left. To
the left. To the left.
[Olive] Thank you.
-Have a good night.
-You're welcome.
-[Olive] Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-[Celia] Hello.
-[Olive] Hello.
[Olive, laughing] Hi. My name
is Celia. Have a nice day!
[Olive and Celia giggling]
[Olive humming]
[gentle acoustic guitar]
[Mom] What time did Olive
go to bed last night?
[Dad] It was really like
really, like an unhealthy like
adults don't go to bed
that late kind of late.
-She'll be so tired.
-I just... it's... yeah.
It's such a grind. It's like
every weekend.
It's not even that
you're just dragging
like a giant wagon
of cookies around.
And you're on your feet all day.
It's just you're constantly
all the time, just on. Just on.
And I don't understand how
she doesn't just get home and
just fall asleep in like the
front hallway, you know?
[Mom] I think it's hard, too,
because she keeps
moving her goal.
And then after that, it's hard
to know when to stop.
Saying no to cookie booths means
saying yes to something else.
Like jumping on the trampoline
and sitting under the tree
and reading and playing.
The window is really closing
on those playing years.
[gentle guitar swells]
-[Dad] Alright. I see people.
-We can probably sell.
[S.E.] Girl Scout Cookies!
[Mom] We got your
Girl Scout Cookies.
Come and get your
Girl Scout Cookies.
[gentle guitar continues]
[Mom] We're still
shy of her goal.
So we would still
need about one...
650 more.
-1,650 more.
-Oh. Good point.
So yeah, that's what scares me,
is that we're gonna be left
holding like 20 cases.
And I mean, this isn't like
one of her like
school fundraisers
where it's like,
"Oh I'm just going to like give
her 20 bucks" and call it good.
-We'll go, "okay, we got that.
-Now we only owe like six grand."
"Let's see what we can do."
Am I going to have
to like mortgage
our house just to make sure that
we pay off Girl
Scouts of America?
Girl Scouts of
America is going to
show up with
three really big guys
here to collect and
break my kneecaps.
So do you think we
should be scared?
No.
No? Not at all?
[Mom] We could do a
night booth in Horizon.
I think that might
be a good location
because it's near other stores.
And we haven't had
a booth in that area.
[Dad] That's a busy street.
[driving guitar music]
-[Dad] Girl Scout Cookies.
-[Mom] Girl Scout Cookies.
I had to get their
attention somehow.
Come on, turn, turn, turn.
Night booth in February. Great
idea. Great idea.
And we thought
this was genius, right?
Turns out it's terrible.
Girl Scout Cookies.
[S.E.] Why does no one
understand hand signals?
Girl Scout Cookies.
They did that turn.
-Come on, one more car.
-Just give me one more car.
[solo piano]
I need to sell more
Girl Scout Cookies,
and I want to play this piece
to attract customers.
Oh wow. Do you
think you're going
to attract a lot of customers?
Yeah.
Can you tell me
about the Girl Scouts?
-Since everybo...
-Since most people
like to have snacks after school,
we usually start with a snack
and a friendship circle.
Sip it once. Sip it twice.
[electronic pop music]
We didn't get it
from a book or a site
We know it in our bones,
all blood flows the same
So why did we
end up this way?
-I will do my best
-to be honest and fair
-friendly and helpful
-considerate and caring,
courageous and strong
and be a sister to
every Girl Scout.
No one needs to make a profit
No one needs to get paid
If we all agree
we don't have to live that way
But to this day we
choose the hard way
-[Mom] Who's excited for Europe?
-[all girls] Me.
[Nikki] And I will go too.
Everything that you
make at the cookie booths,
all your funds for cookie season,
all that money will
go towards the trip.
And you guys still
have a lot to pay off.
Believe it or not, you will
sell more cookies.
The cuter you look.
If you look like you just
rolled out of bed, people are
not going to buy your cookies.
If you look like you've taken
the time to fix
yourself up a little,
they will stop and
they will talk to you.
[Mom] You guys are gonna
do a cookie
like pretend you're
selling cookies.
-Girl Scout Cookies.
-Girl Scout Cookies.
Girl Scout Cookies?
Aren't y'all too big to be
selling Girl Scout Cookies?
I thought Girl Scouts
were, like, tiny.
Girl Scouts come
in all shapes and sizes.
Would you like to buy some?
I don't buy from
older Scouts. I buy
from the cute... the
green vest Scouts.
-Where are the blue vests?
-The little, little ones.
Where are the blue vests?
You guys are too old to be
selling Girl Scout Cookies.
-Where are the blue vests?
-Nikki! Nikki, where are you?
-Here comes the pro.
-Watch how she sells.
-Oh, sweetheart, you're so cute.
-You are so cute.
Can I take a picture of you?
Hi, would you like to buy
some Girl Scout Cookies?
Come get your Girl Scout Cookies
for the Super Bowl.
We take card and cash.
These taste like Reese's.
We also have a new cookie called
the Adventureful.
It's like a brownie.
You're so cute.
Girl Scout Cookies.
-Okay, would you like a receipt?
-She's so cute.
Mom, how much do you have to
sell to get the trophy?
You have to beat your sisters.
You have to be the
top seller in Chino.
Wait, so they were
the top sellers in Chino?
Yep.
[Mom] Who's getting clothes
here? Does she have edges?
-Yeah.
-Oh my gosh, Barbie has edges.
I want to make this dress that
has like a curvy side flow.
It's got to look good.
-Got to look good.
-It's important.
Hey, Mom, do you
wish to be a Girl Scout?
Did I ever want
to be a Girl Scout?
Yeah, I did. I wanted to
be a Girl Scout so badly.
But Grandma just couldn't get me
to the Girl Scout meetings.
She just didn't understand that
kind of world, so I had to wait.
And the day that Nyah turned
five, I signed her up.
So how do you think this season's
going for you, Little Bug?
It's a little tough.
It's just a lot of
work, and I kind of
feel like everyone's
depending on me,
because I am the hook.
And since I'm so cute.
[Mom laughs]
And sisters
are all like, grown up.
How long do you think this
cuteness is gonna last, Nikki?
[Nikki laughs]
[ethereal celesta
and strings]
Guys, I got this. There.
Being the eldest
and the one that's
been in Girl Scouts
for the longest,
I should be the one
to know how to pitch a tent.
I know what we're doing.
You guys do the easy part.
We'll do the hard part.
Annalise, I need
your help putting
the tent up with
these stick things.
-Hey, look. It's a door.
-I think I've kind of got my...
-Guys, stop jumping!
-We're almost done.
We pitched the tent!
Guys, we pitched the tent!
[whimsical music continues]
Once there was a little girl
that wanted to go to camp.
She imagined that
there were zip-lines,
slides, rock walls,
swimming pools.
She even imagined
that there were horses.
But she didn't have enough money,
so she had to sell cookies
to get the money to go to camp.
Camp was really expensive.
So she needed to gather
the money up so she...
To go to camp.
-So she could...
-so she could go...
To camp.
To give the money
to them and then go to camp.
Yeah.
I know our balance
is ridiculously high.
It either has to be paid by this
Sunday or we're going to pay.
-I'm so tired.
-I know. I know.
I feel like we have
literally seven days.
And she wants to go to camp.
And I know we cannot do it.
We cannot do it if
We can't do it.
But we can't afford to fail.
-Yeah. I know.
-It's not just the... I get you.
Alright. She's coming. I don't
want to talk about it.
Okay. We won't
talk about it. Yeah.
-Hi, baby.
-Hi.
Is this cookie money?
-It is. You've done so good.
-I'm so proud of you.
Yay! Speaking of money,
where's mine?
-Mmm, that's right.
-I owe you an allowance.
[Dad] Oh, it's
allowance time too?
Six dollars and 20 cents.
If you don't get it by Friday, I
will be charging you interest.
Alright. Upstairs.
We've got seven days?
-Seven days.
-Seven days.
[Olive] When I think of
15-year-olds, I think of
"Yeah, like, I went to the mall
last weekend, like, it was fun
"So, uh, yeah."
That's all I think of.
I think of TikTok.
-I think of a teenager.
-I go, like, walk
to the store and
there's a group of
Some of the kids are
in seventh-grade
and they're wearing
these small little clothes.
Like booty shorts
and tiny little shirts.
And walking around with
their friends through the mall.
I don't want to become
a teenager at all.
Oh my googlies.
I always write my
story characters, like, 15
because there's always more
drama when you're 15.
It's like a ring around the moon.
That is so weird.
[singing] A ring around the moon.
Oh my god. It's the aliens.
Alright. So, this is the fifth
week of Girl Scout booths.
And technically we
only have one week
left unless they
extend the season.
My goal is 2,500, but I'm not
sure how close I am.
I am, like, at like 800,
like sixty-something.
[Olive] If they do continue
the season, my goal would be
to make my, um, personal best.
-It was like 8,000.
-Yeah, it was like 8,700.
And I don't... Has
anyone broken that?
Because it still says like,
on the... on the cookie sheets
like you get such and such
prize, if you break that record.
It does?
It's good to be
good at something.
But if I'm being
completely honest, I really
don't want to sell
any more cookies.
-You done?
-No.
I mean, yes. I'm very done. I've
been done for a while now.
I feel like I have to be the
top seller sometimes.
I don't know. I've just held the
title for so many years.
Do you like all
the attention that
you get from
being the top seller?
-No, not in particular.
-Really? Why not?
I mean, it's not that I don't
like the attention.
It's just that it's
not why I do it.
I feel like everyone has a
place in the troop.
My place is being the top seller,
and that's like my
my role in the troop.
-Really?
-My job, I guess.
And if I wasn't the top seller,
what would I be, you know?
I don't like I see you
as not just a cookie seller.
Like, I see you as my
best friend, and you're kind,
and you're smart,
and you're funny,
and you have lots
of good information,
especially like, on research
with our Silver Award.
Like
You're the best friend, Celia.
[poignant guitar melody]
Geez, you type fast.
"However"
I'm gonna wear your
shoes for protection.
What's this?
Wow, that's old.
Should we do your makeup? Let's
do it. I'll do your makeup.
-Don't you got homework, girl?
-I'm bored.
[poignant guitar melody]
This is what you do to your face?
Yeah, every morning for school.
Ugh.
Look at me.
-Nala Junior.
-So pretty.
Why are you
like grumpy sometimes?
Like, usually when
Mom calls you down
or I come in your room, you're
like, "Get out."
Um, yeah, I get a little stressed
out sometimes,
but I still love you.
-"Sometimes."
-Yeah, sometimes.
-I don't know about "sometimes."
-All the time.
Yes.
Just know when I'm mad at you
it's not because of you.
It's because of something else.
I thought because
it's just the homework.
-Yeah, it's mostly the homework.
-I hate school.
Act like it's Girl Scout Cookies.
I'm a customer, be like "Would
you like to buy some Le Paris?"
Hi! [deepens voice] Hello.
Would you like to
buy some Le Paris?
-Ooh, that does smell good.
-One spray is all it takes.
-That's your thing?
-"One spray is all it takes"?
Yeah.
Okay. You can
model too. Ooh, yes.
Le Paris. The best
perfume selling in America.
-[Ara] Hello, Rex.
-[on phone] Hello.
Would you like to buy some Girl
Scout Cookies?
It's cookie season.
[Rex] So we got the Thin Mints
and the Samoas, and
then what do you suggest?
Do you want to
know the best deals?
Uh, yeah!
The best deals
are 20 cookies, but
they're actually
sandwich cookies,
so that means that
they're 40 cookies.
Hmm, okay.
[phone ringing]
Hello, Ben. We
have Adventurefuls,
Lemon-Ups, Trefoils,
Do-si-dos, Samoas,
Tagalongs, Thin Mints,
Girl Scout S'Mores,
and Toffee-tastic.
Man, I really like Samoas,
Tagalongs, and Thin Mints.
Okay. And how
many boxes of them?
That's a good question, and
it's really dangerous for me,
because I've been gaining weight,
and I need to try to lose some.
Okay. One box of each. Do you
want one box of each?
[laughing] That's
not what I said!
How many boxes
do you want of each?
How many boxes do
you want of each one?
I think right now
I want zero boxes.
[confused] What?
[guitar strumming
on a waltz beat]
Three, four, five,
breathe seven, six, five, four
We also have
Peanut Butter Patties,
lots of Lemon-Ups today,
and one Adventurefuls.
[guitar resolves
into celesta notes]
Do you know why we keep our
hair long, Shannon Elizabeth?
-It's part of our culture.
-It is part of our culture.
And part of our culture
says that our long hair is
part of our um, it's
part of our spirit, right?
So when Mommy's
braiding your hair, right?
Mommy thinks all
the good thoughts.
Because when someone
touches your hair,
you keep those thoughts
every day with you.
What have you
been thinking about?
How difficult it will be to
sell all the cookies.
-How difficult it will be?
-Yeah.
-Yeah? So
-It's so much.
-It is a lot.
-It is.
You know we don't have to, right?
I know.
Okay. It's still something
you want to do?
-Yeah. I want to try to.
-I love that. Okay, bedtime.
[woman singing a capella
on phone speaker]
Playing in the street,
gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face,
big disgrace
Kicking your can
all over the place, singin'
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
-[Dad] Are you ready?
-[Olive] I'm ready!
[Dad] Alright, let's do this.
Hi! I'm Olive and I've got
some really big news today.
Council decided to
extend the cookie season!
That means that we have
a few more weeks for me
to sell cookies. Since I am
already at 6,500,
why not just go
a little bit further?
My council record
right now is 8,000... five...
Let me ask Mommy
real quick, because
I want to get the
number right, you know?
Yeah, definitely.
[Dad] Hey, Carrie?
What was her record that she's
trying to break?
[Mom] It was 8,000, s...
-8,700? Who knows?
-I could even hit 9,000.
So with your help and the help
of me want cookies.com,
nom nom nom nom
nom, I think that we
can do this toge...,
ahem, together.
And I can reach my
goal. Thank you. Bye.
Long. It was long.
It was over a minute, but
do you want to do it faster?
-Yeah.
-Okay. That's fine.
Do you think that I
could make it better?
I mean, you can
always just do it again.
I mean I mean
Practice makes perfect.
But what did you like that I did,
what did you not like that I did?
I mean, I think
it's good. You hit
the points, um, I don't know that
I would say with
the help of "me-want-cookies."
-Ah.
-You know, just that's where
-they're going at the end.
-Okay.
-Alright. Are you ready?
-Yeah.
[upbeat pop-punk,
femme singer]
Everyone wants a super hero
Record breaker
for their mentor
Excuse me, sir. Would you like
to buy some Girl Scout Cookies?
You ready to go sell some more?
We'll go viral just
you wait and see
Gonna wave goodbye tonight
Gonna get so bad alright
Excuse me.
Would you like to buy some
Girl Scout Cookies?
That will that will be um,
six, um, four... 12!
I don't know why my brain
was blanking on that.
Because It's very
late in the season.
Alright. Here we go.
Oh, take it slow.
Well, Thin Mints are the most
popular, but we call Samoas,
Thin Mints, and
Tagalongs our top three.
Oh my googlies!
I only have three
more cases until I hit my goal.
Excuse me. Would you like to buy
some Girl Scout Cookies
and also may I pet your dog?
You know, we actually have a
dog friendly cookie.
It's a cookie for humans, and
it tastes delicious.
But all the ingredients in
there are good for dogs, too.
God. I'm back. She convinced me
to buy even more for my...
-[Mom] She's so good at that.
-[Dad] She does that.
[singing] I hit my goal,
I hit my goal, I hit my goal.
And we did it with
30 minutes to spare. We did it!
You worked so hard.
-I can't believe it.
-I know.
[Mom] You're so close to
hitting an even bigger goal.
10,000 is right there,
which 10,000 just
has such a beautiful
ring to it, right?
Look at this and all those
numbers behind it.
Hey, so this is
what you're doing.
You're tricky because you say
"I really want to hit 10,000"...
Because you really
want to hit 10,000.
-I don't think that's true.
-Where's the lie, Mama?
Tell me where
the lie is. Seriously.
I hear you.
Like I will say like,
"oh, no, we don't"
"need to sell cookies
this weekend."
You're like, "I'll just sell.
I'll just go to one booth."
That's not true. You've never
said that in your whole life.
I don't want to do
this again next year.
You don't want to
sell as many cookies?
No.
Okay, that's fine with me.
Sometimes it feels like you
want me to sell more cookies.
Sometimes it feels
like you're kind of
making me sell more cookies.
I mean, obviously, it's, I
guess, ultimately my choice.
But sometimes it
feels like if I don't do it,
I'm going to let
you down because of
some of the things you say
and the ways you act.
Oh, what can I do differently?
I don't know. I
I appreciate that you push me.
It just there's
no stopping point.
It doesn't really matter what
time it is or anything.
It's always just
"sell a few more."
-Okay.
-And it doesn't feel good.
Okay. well, you
can be in charge.
Okay.
If you're ready to
stop, you can just say
"I don't want
to sell anymore."
It doesn't always
feel like that, Mama.
It doesn't?
I don't want to feel like
I have to sell more.
Do you think I'm making
you feel that way the most?
Or do you think
you kind of like put
some of that
pressure on yourself?
Maybe.
[solo piano]
Hi. Would you like some Girl
Scout Cookies?
[customer] Annette? Do you
want to buy Girl Scout Cookies?
Hi. Would you like some Girl
Scout Cookies?
Trefoils, Thin Mints,
and Lemon-Ups.
So I actually can't
eat that much sweets.
I'm diabetic, but I could get
some for my kids.
Really? I'm diabetic, too!
I do eat these cookies sometimes,
but only once in a while.
Do you have any
that are sugar-free?
Uh
[Dad] Looks like your
sensor has an error.
So we're going to check your
blood sugar real quick, okay?
-Can we do that?
-Sure.
Oh, stay right there. There
we go. I think we got it. Okay.
Oh, no. 290. No wonder
you were tired. Okay, hold on.
Let me put that in and let me
zap you a little bit then, okay?
Yeah.
Who do you think
designs the cookies?
I think there's a
Girl Scout company
that chooses which
cookies to sell,
Cool.
And then they
probably come up with a
recipe with, like, a chef of
some kind or a baker,
-Cool.
-and then they go make them.
Wait a second. That
bandana looks pretty cool.
It's 60 boxes of cookies though.
Maybe I'll change my goal.
I think I'll do 60 instead.
-From 55?
-Yeah.
So five more.
Look, you can go to Disneyland
if you sell
How many of these?
A lot of them.
You have to be
a top... you have to sell
more than 3,000 boxes.
Then you can go to Disneyland.
-What do you think?
-Not yet.
[rain pattering]
Hi, would you like to buy some
Girl Scout Cookies?
We do card and cash.
Have a great day.
-[Mom] It's raining.
-It's the end of the season.
Nobody's here.
Every cookie counts right now.
-[Nala] How's school?
-[Nikki] Good.
Oh, there's Nyah's jacket.
She ain't here though.
Uh-huh, she ain't here.
You know how you want to
be older like me and Nyah?
-Yeah.
-You want to wear it real quick?
You bet!
Alright. Here,
take off your vest.
-You cold?
-Of course I am.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Girl, you can't let that
bother you. Here.
-I know. I'm a Girl Scout.
-Girl Scout.
It might be too big on me, but
No, it fits perfectly.
Nyah's tiny.
Here, let me fix your hair.
I got some press-on nails too.
You want to be like Nyah?
[Nikki laughs]
I'm keeping this on forever.
Okay, let's take
your vest just in case.
I want to wear this.
You can wear that. She's
not here, right? I won't tell.
-I am Nyah Brown.
-Top seller of Chino.
What happened to my Brownie?
-You look good in that girl.
-Do you feel older?
I feel taller.
Ooh, there's two drops.
[Nyah] You know, this is my
last year being in Girl Scouts.
I just have been doing it
for so long. It's just like, oh
Yeah. It's just,
it's not really as fun
as it used to be when
we were like little girls.
Now it's just something that
we have to do, and it's like
It's like all the fun has sucked
out of it, and now it's just
selling cookies to make money.
Be happy that
you're a kid right now.
Because one day you're gonna
be older and you're gonna wish
-you were young.
-[Nala] Yeah.
Nyah, why would you want to
be, like, younger again?
Because when you get older you
have responsibilities
and you have to do things that
you don't want to do.
-What about you, Nala?
-[laughing] I don't know.
So maybe when you guys leave
I can join a troop.
-Hmm, okay.
-Yeah.
You're not going to
be sad or anything?
Of course I will.
-How do you think she looks?
-Nikki, you're destroying her!
[laughing] I am
not destroying her.
[Celia] The hard part
of cookie selling is that if
I start selling at like
nine o'clock in the morning
and I'm selling until like
six o'clock at night, that's
Do you feel like your mom or your
dad pushes you a lot to do that?
Sometimes.
Or do you feel
like it's yourself?
Both. Both. I mean it is
really hard days and I don't
you know, always want to
be around people all the time.
All day, every day
for several hours.
I can tell that you're
salty about this.
I mean it sounds a
little weird, a Girl Scout
who doesn't like people but, like
-Yeah.
-I have nothing against people.
It's just people can
be a lot sometimes.
[Olive] Are you going to be
wearing any makeup tonight?
-No.
-Okay.
Didn't your mom want you to
wear makeup though?
Yes, she brought it. All of it.
Are you going to wear any of it?
Probably not.
-Why not?
-[Celia laughs awkwardly]
[groups of children chatting]
The judges are
going to walk around
and if they tap you
on the shoulder,
you are in the finals.
[soft R&B music]
You're gonna bring this foot
towards the other one.
There you go.
And then you'll
step this foot back.
And then you're gonna bring
this one to the side.
Back. You're gonna bring
that one back a little more.
And then you're gonna
slide to the side.
There you go.
Back.
I mean front. You go forward.
And then to the side.
And then slide together.
-Step... step backwards.
-It's not this?
Oh, sorry. I was
thinking about the waltz.
I'm sorry.
It's fine. I was
kind of confused.
I was too.
I've been doing a lot of
homework this weekend.
What have you been
doing this weekend?
-Selling Girl Scout Cookies.
-Oh cool.
Thanks.
I finally hit my goal of 9,000
boxes of cookies.
-That's great.
-Thanks.
-You're very accomplished.
-Like 9,000 is a lot.
Yeah, I broke the
record for our Council.
Wow. How long
have you been doing it?
-Seven years now.
-Wow, that's impressive.
Thanks.
[Celia] Okay. Fifteen more
minutes of pain and agony.
It felt like I was going to
contract some
respiratory disease.
[lively rock music]
I think we could win.
[host] The judges are going to
stand over the winning couples.
Ooh, look at those
hands. I see
one winning couple, I see
two winning couples
Thank you.
Oh, cool.
Let's see, looks like I just
got an email from Beverly.
It says, "Help, jump through
some extra inventory."
From March 15th to March 31st,
we'll earn an extra
$2 per package.
Two dollars?
And that's on top, it says,
"of current proceed rate."
So we already make $1.10.
So we would get $3.10
a box. Over half.
That's a lot of money. Wow.
But I think everybody's kind
of done with cookies.
Well
Listen.
You're not going to disappoint
me by saying no.
I know.
You don't need to achieve
anything, right?
You just need to be you.
Mom, have you done a count?
Um, I have done a count.
We have 33 boxes left.
33 boxes left. And
how many cases?
Plus 50 whole cases.
According to the numbers, we're
not doing so well.
What do you think we should
probably be doing?
[nervous music]
[Dad] So, what are you thinking?
[S.E.] We could make flyers
and give them out to
customers with little
bar codes on it to like
-for a Cash App or PayPal.
-[Dad] I like it.
And then we could hang them all
around town like
at police stations or
[Dad] What about the library?
[S.E.] Oh yeah,
library. That works.
You could do it at your
school, Mom. Your classroom.
Okay.
I know we can do this.
We've done it last year.
We've already sold more.
We can't stop now.
Five, four, three, two.
-Do you believe in yourself?
-Yes, sir!
-Ready and go!
-Hiyaa!
Nice. Easy. Ready and
Bow "yes I can."
Yes, I can!
I broke it!
["Dreams" by
Japanese Breakfast]
[soulful rock music]
Hello. Can we hang
some flyers here?
Hi. Could I
hang up a flyer here?
This one tastes like a churro.
And this tastes like Chips Ahoy.
-Those are mine?
-Alrighty. Thank you, honey.
To all good things. Always.
-[Mom] Thank you.
-Bye-bye.
Yes, I can!
Oh, my life
Is changin' every day
In every possible way
-Cash App, PayPal, and Zelle?
-Yep.
Alright then.
How does that one taste?
Like a churro
with vanilla filling.
Wow.
-[firefighter] Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-Good, right?
-Mm-hmm.
[music swells and flourishes]
I know I've felt
like this before
But now I'm
feelin' it even more
Because it came from you
Thank you. Have a great day.
60, 70, 80.
[Dad] Only three
days remaining, sir.
Is this order going to help
me reach my goal?
[Dad] Yeah, big time.
[Mom] I have never
had an order this big.
Oh my god.
[Dad] Thank you.
Want me to help
you get down, yeah?
Yes.
Alright, got you.
Yay!
[music slowly flourishes out]
Successful means
Successful means you did, you
can do something, and you did.
You want to
do something, and you did.
Maybe, Aza, maybe put your hands
a little lower.
For example,
remember how I thought
I could carry seven cookies?
I can. I could.
That was the max.
Maybe put your
hands down a little.
No, not your head, your hands.
Good.
You actually also put your head
up like, look, like this.
Good.
That's four.
Five.
Maybe put your head back.
Ooh.
Six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Seven.
Um, I think that's the max.
[solo classical piano]
[piano stops] Oh, if you want
cookies, you can cookies.
Cookies are sold here.
Coming here for you.
I'm selling cookies. They're
not free. They're not free.
Could we get the lemon ones, too?
Sure!
-Thank you so much.
-Here you go.
-Thank you so much.
-Twelve dollars, please.
You got it, sister.
Thin Mints.
Toffee-tastic.
Is that your last
one of Thin Mints?
Yeah, and a last one of
-Can I get the last Thin Mints?
-Okay.
Thank you so much.
[solo classical
piano returns]
Look, I'm selling cookies, too.
-You guys are all Daisies!
-Yep.
-Can I buy that last box?
-Sure.
Six dollars, please.
-I've got my backpack.
-Thank you so much.
-You have a nice day.
-You're welcome.
Nice. You sold
the last one.
Yeah!
No, I can do it alone.
Let me do it alone.
You got it? Okay,
go right, then.
I did it!
[Dad] Hey, you got your
cookie pin already?
-[Ara] Cookie entrepreneur.
-[Dad] What's an entrepreneur?
-Um, I don't know.
-A business person.
A person who
starts their own business.
So, you're selling cookies, so
you're a cookie entrepreneur.
-Does that make sense?
-Mm-hmm.
Your first goal was 55 boxes
of cookies, right?
-Yep.
-And then what?
Then I upgraded it to 60.
So, if you hit 60 boxes,
then what do you do next?
Next time, my goal will be 100.
-Okay, that'll be great.
-100, I'll help you, okay?
Yeah.
-[Mom] That's yours.
-[Dad] Oh, that's yours, too.
I already recognize it. Rainbow.
[Mom] Rainbow, that's yours.
-Celebratory meal!
-[Mom] Celebratory meal!
-[Mom] To cookies!
-[all] To cookies!
[Mom] Here's the thing.
We did not make 2,750.
[S.E.] Aww.
-[Mom] We beat our total.
-We made 2,794.
O-M-G, I knew we would either
do it or beat it.
-Wait, did I make the top 10?
-You made the top 10 in El Paso.
Oh, I thought in
all of the world.
-[Mom, laughing]
-Not in all the world.
So, I'm very proud of us.
We pushed really hard.
We're gonna go to Cookie Camp.
Yeah!
Okay, girls,
so we sold, as a family,
4,200 boxes
when you add it all up.
[all] Wow.
So, congratulations.
[Dad] Yay!
On another cookie season.
This might have been your
last cookie season.
[Dad] Oh, no.
I don't know.
For you two, I don't know, but
Nikki, we have
another season, right?
Yeah.
Okay, I feel a little old
that you said that.
[Mom] Okay, so, Nikki, you
sold more than your sisters
for the first time.
1,638. [applause]
[Nala] Nikki, you
went over your goal.
[Dad] Hit the goal, went over.
I want to let you know, Nikki.
Out of all the girls in Chino,
you are the
top-selling Girl Scout.
-I am?
-[Dad] Woo!
How? But there's
other people though.
-[Nyah] That's yours.
-You did it, Stella.
Oh, my God! Oh, my GOD!
[Mom] Congratulations, Nikki.
You did it, Nikki.
You're the top cookie seller for
Chino, just like your sisters.
Good job.
[tender guitar
with bright notes]
[music continues]
Backpack
and my blanket
and my sleeping bag.
Designing your cookies means
you're, you like,
actually it means
like you make
a new type of cookie.
I'm designing my own sugar-free
cookie called the Tum-Yum.
Can I look at them?
You can, sure, but that's very
hot so just be careful, okay?
Can I have that one? This one.
Mmm.
[music fades]
[doorbell]
[door opens]
-I have something for you.
-You have something for me?
Yeah, come to
my wagon and see it.
It's sugar-free
cookies. I made them.
They're pretty
good. I tried one.
-Really?
-Sweet.
If you want to keep them.
They're for sale for six dollars
with the other
Girl Scout Cookies.
-Six dollars, huh?
-Yeah.
Hey, maybe Grandma
wants a cookie.
Oh, yeah, we'll sell
some to Grandma.
-She has diabetes too.
-You're right.
[warm acoustic guitar]
Dear Miss Tayuanee Dewberry,
CEO of the Girl Scouts
Hornets' Nest Council.
This has been a crazy season,
exclamation point.
Sometimes people ask
me what motivates me.
It's pride, determination,
and I like knowing
that I'm helping the troop.
-Would you like a bag for that?
-That would be great, yeah.
But also I do it
because of friendship.
I met my best friend while
selling Girl Scout Cookies.
[warm acoustic
guitar continues]
I also wanted to
talk to you about
troops getting more
money per cookie box.
The three dollars a box really
motivated me and my troop.
And although we understand
that $3.10 a box
is unrealistic,
$1.50 would be nice.
I'd love to have a say on where
the money goes.
Thank you.
Olive G.
[slam]
[thunk]
[warm acoustic guitar builds]
-It's nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you too.
-It's nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
-12,801 boxes.
-12,801.
12,801 boxes of
Girl Scout Cookies.
Twelve year old Olive Gordon
currently holds the
state record for the most Girl
Scout Cookies sold,
earning her the unofficial title
of the "Cookie Queen."
-Oh, she's so cute.
-You are adorable.
Thank you.
-Do you want to see the studio?
-Yes, please.
I've read that
you want the Girl Scouts
to have greater decision making.
We don't have much to say over
the programming or the prizes.
We're the ones putting all
the effort into this.
And so in the future
I hope that more
of the funding goes
towards the troops.
I asked Olive, will we see
another record being broken?
And she says she only wants
to sell 5,000 boxes
so she can spend some more
time with some friends.
But her mom says she said the
same thing last year.
[Mom] I thought you did awesome.
Super impressive as always.
Maybe one day I'll try to be
the CEO of Council.
Oh my goodness, Olive.
I actually kind of am excited
for cookie season
to happen again.
[laughing] You
You are an enigma.
What does that mean, Mama?
That's something you
can't quite put your finger on.
-I can do it.
-I can do it.
I can do it.
I can do it.
[music continues,
drums begin]
All those cookies you
sold, you made it.
[music continues]
Here, you can be in our TikTok.
[giggling]
-This does make a nice blanket.
-I like this.
You could live on
Cookie Mountain.
[music fades]
[birds, insects, soft giggling]
Growing up isn't something
you can make happen
When you want it to
But since we're all
growing up together
I guess I'll grow up with you
-[loudspeaker] What do we want?
-Contracts!
-When do we want it?
-Now!
-What do we want?
-Contracts!
-When do we want it?
-Now!
We can take turns
taking the reins
Lean on each other
when we need
some extra strength
We'll never cave
or we'll never waver
And we'll always become
braver and braver
We'll dance
like nobody's there
We'll dance without any cares
We'll talk 'bout
problems we share
We'll talk 'bout
things that ain't fair
We'll sing 'bout
things we don't know
We'll sing to people and show
What it means to be
Young and growing up
Under the table, We'll
whisper in each other's ears
We'll share our
hopes and dreams
And all our other
greatest fears
And when we get burned
from jumping in the fire
We'll never tire, 'cause we'll
always find ways to fly higher
We'll dance
like nobody's there
We'll dance without any cares
