Plot[]
Synopsis[]
Dexter tries to flirt with his babysitter Lisa but it doesn't work since she has a boyfriend.
Summary[]
Mom and Dad are going on a date, so they're having their regular babysitter, Lisa, watch Dee Dee and Dexter while they're gone. Dexter has a crush on Lisa, and tries make sure everything is perfect and romantic, and he tries to keep Dee Dee out of the way by telling her to look for something so he could have time alone with Lisa. However, Dexter's plans are ruined when he finds out that Lisa has a jock-boyfriend named Jeff.
But then Dexter comes up with a plan to try and break up Jeff and Lisa. After he disconnects the phone line while Lisa's talking to Jeff on his landline. First, he calls Jeff back and, using his computer to digitally disguise his voice to sound identical to Lisa's, he "breaks up with" Jeff. Then Dexter calls his home phone, but Dee Dee first picks up the phone, but then they both hang up. He calls his home phone number again, and this time Lisa picks up the phone. Dexter's computer digitally disguises his voice to sound identical to Jeff, and "breaks up with" Lisa, which greatly upsets her.
When he sees Lisa crying, he tries comforting her and tells her that she should "stop dating jocks and go for the more bookish-type." Lisa finds this sweet, and she tells Dexter that she'd definitely go out with him if he were about ten years older. Dexter runs to his lab and increases his age by ten years, but his older self isn't nearly as handsome as he had imagined: Dexter, as a teenager, looks like a stereotypical nerd, with having a rounder face with pimples, braces on his teeth, a pocket protector, a higher/squeakier voice and a taller, skinnier build. Dexter scares Lisa when she sees his teenaged-self, which saddens Dexter. When Dee Dee assumes that teenage Dexter is what she has been looking for, Dexter runs for his life and tries running out of the house, but when he opens the front door, he sees someone outside.
The person at the door turns out to be Jeff, who thought that Lisa broke up with him for somebody named Dexter. When he asks teen-Dexter, "Is your name Dexter?" and Dexter answers yes, Jeff punches him in the face for "stealing" his girlfriend.
