Lemon-Aid

Lemon-Aid is the ninety seventh episode from Season 1.

Plot
Dennis and Margaret have started a lemonade stand. After Dennis calls it "Dennis' Lemonade Stand", Margaret argues that it should be her lemonade stand too because she thought of the idea. Dennis calls it his because the lemons and Ruff belong to him and the boot belongs to Henry.

Henry comes out and Dennis sells him some lemonade. Once Henry drinks the lemonade, he scrunches up his mouth due to its sourness. After Dennis give Margaret 10 cents, Margaret, having had it with Dennis treating her so poorly, puts her foot down, quits her partnership with Dennis, and starts her own lemonade stand.

When Joey comes along, he sees Dennis' Lemonade Stand and Dennis offers to sell him some lemonade. Due to Joey's dyslexia, Dennis lies that the lemonade costs 75c, only for Margaret to see though Dennis' trick and say it costs 50 cents. Dennis tries to justify his lie with "Business is business".

So Dennis and Margaret compete for Joey's sale by lowering the price of their lemonade. Margaret tries selling hers for 40c. Just as it seems like Margaret will earn Joey's money, Dennis lowers his lemonade price for 35c. Margaret then drops her lemonade price to 30c, Dennis lowers his to 28c, Margaret goes to 19c, Dennis drops his price to 13c, Margaret lowers her price to 10c, Dennis drops to 7c, Margaret goes down to 4c, Dennis drops his final lemonade offer to a penny.

As Margaret makes her final offer, giving lemonade away for free, Dennis makes Joey his lemonade partner. Suddenly, Dennis runs out of lemons and decides to go to Mr. Wilson's lemon tree to pick some. When Mr. Wilson refuses to give Dennis and Joey any lemons from his tree, Joey jokes that Mr. Wilson is a sourpuss because he eats all of them, only for Mr. Wilson to give in and allow Dennis and Joey to only pick lemons that have fallen to the ground.

As Dennis and Joey go into the backyard, much to their disappointment, no lemons are on the ground. Dennis decides to use Alice's weight-reducing machine to cause some lemons to fall out of Mr. Wilson's lemon tree. Once Joey turns on the machine, all the lemons come falling out of the tree. When Mr. Wilson finds out, he trips over the cord and crashes into the tree, causing the remaining lemons to land on him.

Once Dennis and Joey take all the lemons they need, they start making more lemonade. Much to Dennis' dismay, they have run out of sugar, prompting Joey to ask Margaret to loan them some sugar. Margaret, still sour about the way Dennis treated her, pours all her sugar on Joey. Then, she pours a bucket of water onto him.

When Dennis comes over to ask Margaret to loan them some ice, Margaret turns on the ice machine, covering Dennis and Joey from head to toe in ice. Dennis then waves a white flag in defeat.
