Transcript

{Open: SkullB's Apartment. Jerry and Skullbuggy are on the couch, watching TV.}

SKULLB: Wow, how long has it been since our last episode?

JERRY: About a month. We are lazy.

SKULLB: Well, let's just tell them we were on hiatus and we don't secretly hate every one of our view--

{SkullB gets hit on the head with a bowling ball and falls unconscious.}

JERRY: It's good to be back.

{Cue theme song.}

{Cut: SkullB's Apartment. Everyone is on the couch, sweltering.}

SKULLB: Oh, my GOD it is hot outside!

CASEY: Don't... remind me.

SKULLB: I'm a machine and I can feel the heat!

CASEY: I'm trying to save my energy... don't make me punch you.

TOM: What gets me is that you guys can afford an awesome flat-screen TV and you don't have air conditioning.

JERRY: Shut up and watch TV.

{A weather report pops up on TV.}

WEATHERMAN: There's a huge heat wave hitting New Hampshire today and let me tell you--it's not gonna go away! Man! Expect temperatures in the high 90s and 100s, and be sure to put your AC on!

{Jerry shuts off the TV.}

JERRY: Ugh, great. We'll be boiling in our own stew soon.

CASEY: Didn't need to know that!

JERRY: So how are we gonna cool off?

SKULLB: I don't know about you, but my cooling systems keep me at a breezy 69 degrees!

CASEY: WHAT.

SKULLB: Man, I am living it up!

{A sputtering noise comes from inside Skullbuggy.}

SKULLB: And there goes the cooling system.

JERRY: Hah!

SKULLB: So how are we going to beat the heat already?

JERRY: I vote we strip down to our underwear.

{Pause.}

JERRY: Less clothes means less heat!

{Pause}

JERRY: I'm not trying anything weird or anything.

{Pause}

JERRY: I don't even think Skully wears clothes.

{Pause}

JERRY: So who's with me?

{Cut: Later. Everyone is in their undergarments--and SkullB hasn't changed.}

JERRY: See? I told you!

CASEY: You just wanted to sneak a peek, didn't you?

JERRY: No no no I mean no.

TOM: It's still horribly hot in here. What other brilliant suggestions do you have?

SKULLB: I vote we open up the freezer and let the cold air rush in!

CASEY: Do you have any idea how much that would cost our electric bill?

SKULLB: I don't know or care.

{Cut: Later. SkullB is somehow in the freezer.}

SKULLB: Man, it's so COOL in here!

JERRY: We don't care! {to himself} God he's lucky he can fit in there.

CASEY: Alright, this STILL doesn't solve our problem.

TOM: I vote that somebody fans us off. It worked for the Egyptians!

{Pause}

TOM: I also vote that Jerry does it.

CASEY: Agreed.

SKULLB: {opens freezer door} Agreed.

JERRY: Ah, hell.

{Cut: Later. Jerry is fanning Casey and Tom off with a palm frond(?).}

JERRY: Did I really need to wear the servant's uniform as well?

TOM: We're just trying to get you in the spirit of things!

JERRY: Screw it. I'm going to the community pool or something.

{Jerry leaves.}

CASEY: Well who's going to fan us off now?

SKULLB: {from inside freezer} It's not gonna be me! You know, because I don't have hands.

{Cut: Later. Casey is lying on top of SkullB.}

CASEY: Ahhh, this is cold.

TOM: Come on! When's my turn?

CASEY: When I'm done! Ahhhh!

{Jerry walks in.}

TOM: Hey, Jerry! I thought you were at the community pool.

JERRY: Turns out everyone else in town is there.

TOM: Hah, sucks to be you.

JERRY: May I ask why Casey, in her underwear, is lying on top of Skully?

SKULLB: It's a long story, it'd probably take the rest of the episode--

CASEY: Just feel him! He's so cold!

SKULLB: Yeah, it's a good thing my metal absorbs temperature, eh?

TOM: Hey, you know what?

SKULLB: What?

TOM: How 'bout we just BUY an air conditioner?

SKULLB: Because that would end the episode prematurely.

TOM: I'm going to buy an air conditioner. See you two babbies later.

{Tom leaves.}

JERRY: So can I lay on Skullbuggy now?

{Cut: Later. The apartment has an air conditioner now. Everyone is back in full clothing.}

JERRY: Well, it turns out that everything could have been solved with money!

CASEY: Isn't that how it always is?

JERRY: Yeah. It is.

{Pause}

JERRY: My GOD this episode was incredibly awkward.

SKULLB: Great to be back, America!
