"Baggage" is the 6th episode of the third season of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

A competing mini mart across the street challenges the Paul Revere Mini Mart to a bagging competition. Meanwhile, Nia and London start goofing off, and pull Zack and Cody into it as well, causing them to lose sleep the night before the contest.

Story[]

The Paul Revere Mini Mart is pitted against the Betsy Ross Stop & Shop in a bagging tournament. They decide to do a wager of the losers having to dress like the winners' store's mascot and stand outside in public.

Meanwhile, London and Nia sneak out of The Tipton to go to a concert. When they invite many concert friends to The Tipton and have a party above Zack and Cody's suite, Zack and Cody go party all night. Mr. Moseby catches Nina and London, and grounds them.

Zack is then tired from the party during the bagging competition and the Paul Revere Mini Mart fail to win the bagging competition. At the end, Carey is seen at the Paul Revere Mini Mart looking at Wayne, Zack, and Cody looking ridiculous in Betsy Ross dresses.

London: (to Nia) Mint me, candy girl.
- Nia: Excuse me, but I have a name.
- London: Excuse me, but, uh, I don't like to read.
- Nia: Excuse me, but, uh, you should try. Your turn.
- London: Just mint me!
- Nia: Well, if you insist. (takes a mint, licks it and sticks it on London's forehead) Consider yourself minted.
Wayne: (to Zack) What's wrong with you?
- Zack: Sorry, I'm just a little tired.
- Wayne: Well, you better wake up, pal, because I do not look good in women's clothes!
- Zack: Just for the record, you don't look so hot in men's clothes, either.
Zack: Hey, Millicent. We'll take a chocolate Christy Bar.
- Cody: It's my money. We'll take a Twisty Cho Bar.
- Zack: Christy Bar.
- Cody: Twisty Bar.
- Zack: Christy Bar.
- Cody: Twisty Bar.
- Millicent: Okay, that's it! It's because of you people that I wake up in the middle of the night screaming! Well, I kinda did that before... but it's gotten worse since I started working here! Eat this (reaches for a magazine) and LIKE IT!
- Zack: Wow, Millicent, I've never seen you stand up for yourself like this.
- Millicent: Yeah, it feels good. (falls to the ground unconscious)
Moseby: I expressly told you not to go to that concert.
- Nia: We didn't go to any concert.
- Moseby: Then where'd you get those t-shirts?
- London: The concert.
Nia: Look, I came up here as a responsible Tipton employee trying to keep these kids quiet, but London here wouldn't listen to me! (gestures to London) See ya!
- London: (grabs Nia's arm) Not so fast, Lia!
- Nia: It's Nia.
- London: Whatever... Nia Tia Lia Gia! This whole thing is your fault. I mean, it was you guys who wanted to go to the concert.
- Nia (to Mr. Moseby): Okay, are you gonna believe me or the girl who thinks I'm a soccer team?
- Mr. Moseby: Well, your track record does speak for itself.
- London: Oh! You run track?! I tried that once, but then they put little fences in front of me and I kept tripping. Plus, the other girls wouldn't wait for me!
- Mr. Moseby (to Nia): You still expect me to believe that London was the mastermind behind all this?
- Nia: Yeah, that was a tough sell...
Wayne: (to the Betsy Ross manager) It's not over 'till the fat lady sings! Oops, sorry to bring your mother into this!

Zack (to Carey): Mom, your screaming woke us up.
- Carey: But the music didn't?
- Zack: Well, we're used to going to sleep to Toxic Vomit.
- Carey: Look, I know my cooking's not that good.
- Cody: Mom, that's the name of the band.
London: (to Mr. Moseby about Nia) I want her fired!
- Nia: He can't fire me. I'm his favorite niece! Ain't that right, Uncle Marion?
- Mr. Moseby: Well, you are my only niece. Ergo, my favorite.
- London: Wait, wait! Who's your favorite? Her or this "Ergo" person?
- Nia: I just heard the air go out her head.
Moseby (to Nia): I promised your mother I will take you in this summer and turn you into a proper young lady.
- Nia: You know, that's what Aunt Lili told me last year. After one week with me, she changed her name and moved to Alaska.
London: Ooh, guess what, Moseby? Tia and I are best friends.
- Nia: It's Nia!
- London: I like Tia better. Can you change it?
- Nia: Are we going in your limo?
- London: Mm-hmm.
- Nia: Call me Tia!
Millicent: I still don't understand. If I'm working your shift so you can go to a concert, then why are you getting paid?
- Nia: Duh! It's my shift.
- Millicent: Oh, thanks for explaining.
Wayne: You boys know the rules. All the items must fit into one bag. That bag must be carried through the course, to the car, without breaking the bag or anything inside of it.
- Carl: On your marks, get set... (Wayne pops the bags to start the challenge) Go, go, go, go, go!
- Wayne: Yes! Yes, the canned ham. Now the soups!
- Carl: No coaching! Not the chips.
- Wayne: No coaching. (Turns to Zack and Cody) Be the bag, be the bag.

Carl: As Paul Revere would say, “The losers are coming! The losers are coming!“
- Wayne: Noooooo!!!! (Throws his hat down to the ground in defeat)
- Cody: This is all your fault, Zack. I don’t know how you’re gonna sleep tonight. (He turns around to see his brother laying on the produce shelf fast asleep on a potato bag) Apparently, cuddling a bag of potatoes.

Carey: Hello? Is anybody here? I would like to buy this fish. Ew, it's got tire tracks on it. Ok, never mind. I'm going to the Betsy Ross Stop & Shop.
- Wayne: So am I.
- Carey: Aah!
- Wayne: [wearing Betsy Ross' dress] This corset's killing me.
- Carey: No, I think you're killing it.
- Cody: [also wearing Betsy Ross' dress] Do these stars make me look fat?
- Carey: I don't know. I think I'm still blind from looking at Wayne.
- Zack: Look, guys. I want to apologize. I mean, this is all my fault. My bragging got us into this stupid contest, and then I didn't take the stupid contest seriously and I let you guys down. Mom, I think you should take me home and just lock me in my room.
- Cody: Not so fast, Betsy.
- Wayne: That's right. You're coming with us, young lady.
- Zack: Mom, aren't you going to say anything?
- Carey: Yeah. Smile.

Trivia[]

This is the first appearance of Nia Moseby.
Zack, Cody, Nia and London like listening to a band called Toxic Vomit, and Zack and Cody tell Carey that they're used to sleeping to the music by Toxic Vomit.
- At least one concert done by the group Toxic Vomit ended in a riot, which is why Mr. Moseby initially forbade Nia and London from going to their concert.
This is the third time that a relative of Mr. Moseby is shown. The first was his brother in "Moseby's Big Brother", and the second was his grandmother in "Nugget Of History".
It's never made clear who Nia's parent's are and how they're connected to Moseby.
This episode is Wayne’s final appearance. It’s also the final appearance of the Paul Revere Mini Mart.
