PAGE TITLE: Sittin' Babbies

Trancript

{Open: The street. Dash is riding slowly. He stops at a building with a display window displaying a new stereo.}

DASH: {looking at display} ... I guess I could use one of those... {glances at price tag} $599.99? I'd need a

job to pay for that! {Dash rides offscreen.}

{Cut: Blaze's room. Dash is sitting on his bed, and Blaze is playing his computer.}

DASH: So Blaze, I'm looking for a job. You have any ideas?

BLAZE: Well, how about being a cashier?

DASH: How about something more interesting?

BLAZE: Well... you could try babysitting. It has okay pay.

DASH: I'm not a fan of being surrounded by kids for hours.

BLAZE: Don't worry. Just do it for the pay!

DASH: I guess so, I'll try it for a day, and see how I like it.

{Cut: a few days later. Dash is standing at the door of a house, talking to a woman.}

DASH: So, you want me to watch your brat- I mean wonderful child- for 6 hours, correct?

WOMAN: Yes. And you better watch my little Benny and treat him like royalty!

DASH: O-okay... Have a nice trip!

{The woman then leaves and Dash opens the door, to see a boy casing a cat. The boy is holding a golf club.}

DASH: Hey hey HEY! {the boy stops running.} Are you the boy I need to babysit?

BENNY: Yeah, now what the hell do want with me?

DASH: Watch your mouth or I'll backhand you, you little brat. {Picks up the cat.}

BENNY: I don't have to. My mom is divorced, and she has full custody. She lets me do whatever I want!

DASH: oh my god, six hours with this little beast Well, now I rule the house, so you have to respect

my authority, capiche?

BENNY: Why should I?

DASH: Well, for one, now that I rule the house, I can kick your little squishy head into a wall, and not get in

trouble.

BENNY: So? I can call my mom and tell her you were mean! {shows Dash his cellphone}

DASH: Let me see that... {Dash grabs the cellphone and breaks it in half} Now try to call your mommy!

BENNY: HEY! My mom bought that for me!

DASH: So? She can buy you a new one when I'm done with you. For now, I need to enforce my position as alpha-male and

bring discipline to this household!

BENNY: Just try!

DASH: Oh, I will! Now I'm gonna set down your cat and you better play nice, or else.

{Dash then sets down the cat.}

{Benny starts chasing the cat again with the golfclub. Dash slaps the club out of his hand}

DASH: Dammit Benny! {Picks up the cat again} Okay, If you don't play nice with Mr. Kitty, I'm gonna call animal

control and take him away.

{Dash then places the cat on the floor. Benny starts to chase the cat, but Dash glares down at him, and then Benny drops

the club.}

DASH: Good boy. You wanna doggie treat?

BENNY: What?

DASH: What. Anyway, back to training! How about we play a simple game of baseball!

{Cut: Benny's backyard. Dash has a catching glove and a baseball, and Benny has a bat.}

DASH: Okay, Ben, just hit the ball with the bat!

BENNY: Gotcha!

{Dash then pitches the ball. Benny then swings and hits the ball into Dash's groin.}

DASH: {in great pain} B-benny... I think the point of baseball is to not sterilize me.

{Benny nods. Dash pitches, and Benny swings the ball into Dash's knee.}

DASH: {still in pain} O-okay Benny, you have effectively broken my knee. Let's try crafts...

{Cut: Benny's dining room. Dash and Benny have a piece of paper, a bottle of glue, and a pile of macaroni.}

DASH: Okay, Benny. We glue these pasta peices to the paper, and make pictures, {fiddles with glue and macaroni}

like so!

{Dash holds up macaroni art. It appears to be a cat.}

BENNY: Sounds gay, but I'll bite. {fiddles around with supplies} How's this?

{Benny holds up macaroni art. It appears to be a poorly drawn Dash being impaled by a spear while a poorly drawn Benny

jumping and cheering.}

DASH: {Observes picture} Oh screw you, man. {fiddles with supplies} Counterattack!

{Dash holds up his picture. It depicts a flaming Benny being hit by Skullbuggy. Soon after, SkullB himself busts through

the wall.}

SKULLB: Hey! Copyright infringement, boy!

DASH: Fair use! Fair use!

SKULLB: Grrr... You win this time, boy!

{SkullB then backs up into the hole he made in the wall.}

SKULLB: {offscreen} Do you want me to pay for that?

DASH: Nah, his parent is rich.

{Pause.}

BENNY: What the hell were you talking about?

DASH: Uh, nothing, nothing. {Glances at the clock} Hey! look at the time! Looks like my six hours is up.

{Dash and Benny look out the door's window, and see headlights pulling in.}

BENNY: Hurray! now you can leave!

DASH: I'm as excited as you are, you little runt.

{Dash walks over to the door and opens it for Benny's mother.}

WOMAN: Oh thank goodness! You didn't burn down my house!

DASH: Well... I did put a hole in the wall, but that's beside the point. Gimme my money, I had to put up with that

little devil for 6 hours, so I need at least 50 bucks.

WOMAN: Thanks for watching my little angel. {Hands Dash a few bills} Go buy yourself something nice.

DASH: Thank god this is done!

{Dash runs out the door, hops on his bike, and pedals away. Cut: Blaze's room, and Dash is flopped out on Blaze's bed.

Blaze is still playing his computer}

DASH: God, Blaze, that was the worst 6 hours of my life.

BlAZE: Well, at least you tried. How much cash did you get?

DASH: About 50$... Hey Blaze? Have you been playing that computer all day?

BLAZE: Pretty much. Speaking of which, where's Sparky?

{ A few seconds after, Sparky bursts through the door.}

SPARKY: Hey guys! I just got out of the hospital! I'm ready for the episode!

BLAZE: Sorry, episode's over.

SPARKY: DAMNIT!

{Cue credits.}
