Movie

{JCM walks into his house sadly.}

JCM'S MOTHER: Hey, JCM, what's wrong?

{Suspenseful music plays.}

JCM: I just found out that...I'm blue.

JCM'S MOTHER: {sarcastic} Wow, really?!

JCM: Yep, so in order for me to be fixed, I'll need the money for surgery.

JCM'S MOTHER: {sarcastic} Oh, gosh. How much?

JCM: The cost of an average pet at the pet store.

JCM'S MOTHER: Really? Well, I'm sorry, but I can't give you cent after a terrible performance like that.

JCM: {angry} Oh! How did you figure it out?

JCM'S MOTHER: Mothers' instinct. But seriously, you can't have a pet.

JCM: But all of the other kids at my school, and some teachers, have one!

JCM'S MOTHER: {wiggles finger} What did I tell you about peer pressure?

JCM: You never told me anything about peer pressure.

JCM'S MOTHER: Oh, really?

{Cut to a flashback.}

JCM'S MOTHER: You can't have a pet.

JCM: But all of the other kids at my school, and some teachers, have one!

JCM'S MOTHER: {wiggles finger} What did I tell you about peer pressure?

{Cut back to normal time.}

JCM: Wow, I should have remembered that. But why can't I have a pet?

JCM'S MOTHER: Well, you see, having a pet would require responsibility.

JCM: And?

JCM'S MOTHER: Don't you remember what happened last time I trusted you with something?

{Cut to a flashback.}

JCM'S MOTHER: Hey, JCM, what's wrong?

JCM'S MOTHER: Really? Well, I'm sorry, but I can't give you cent after a terrible performance like that.

{Cut back to normal time.}

JCM'S MOTHER: Well, I didn't actually believe you would successfully trick me, but you get the point.

JCM: Fine, then! If you won't get me a pet, I'll just go to Mr. Cloud.

JCM'S MOTHER: There is no Mr. Cloud, you just made him up.

JCM: No, I didn't!

JCM'S MOTHER: Yeah, you did. Remember?

{Cut to a flashback.}

JCM: Fine, then! If you won't get me a pet, I'll just go to Mr. Cloud.

{Cut back to normal time.}

JCM: Man, these are a lot of flashbacks for the first episode.

JCM'S MOTHER: Now you see why you can't have a pet?

JCM: Yeah, I think I do. I still hate it, though.

JCM'S MOTHER: Eh, you'll live. Now, go on to bed.

JCM: But it's only 6:00.

JCM'S MOTHER: No, it isn't. 3 hours have just passed talking about getting a pet.

{Cut to a flashback.}

JCM'S MOTHER: No, it isn't. 3 hours have just passed talking about getting a pet.

{Cut back to normal time.}

JCM: Well, time and space doesn't lie.

{JCM goes to his room.}

JCM'S MOTHER: Love you.

{A door is heard closing.}

JCM'S MOTHER: Man, I don't know why I have so much fun doing that.

{Mr. Cloud flies beside JCM's mother.}

MR. CLOUD: I guess it's the Adrenaline. Speaking of that, do you want some Skyrocket brand energy drinks? It's only $9.99!

JCM'S MOTHER: {confused} Um, no, not really. I'm going to go to bed myself now.

MR. CLOUD: Why go to bed when you can stay up all night?

{JCM's mother gets up and leaves.}

MR. CLOUD: Come on! Can you say no to this face? Can you?

JCM'S MOTHER: {offscreen} Watch me!

MR. CLOUD: OK, fine! Just walk off and-

{Zoom in to Mr. Cloud.}

MR. CLOUD: Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!

{Mr. Cloud stays in the position for a few seconds before looking offscreen.}

MR. CLOUD: Oh, we're not doing that?

{Zoom back out.}

MR. CLOUD: Sorry.

{The End}
