Transcript

{Open: SkullB's House. Everyone is on the couch, sleeping. A banner reading "Season 3 Cast Party" hangs weakly above the doorway.}

{Cue new theme song, viewable here.}

{Cut: the backyard of the SkullB House. Jerry and SkullB are sitting in lawnchairs, observing fireworks go off.}

SKULLB: Ah, nothing like a good firework or two to help keep your mind off of things.

JERRY: Yeah.

{Casey walks over.}

CASEY: Hey, guys. What are you doing?

SKULLB: Watching explosives go off.

CASEY: Ah. The great American pasttime.

JERRY: Yeah, they've been doing it for about half an hour at this point. We're not bored, though.

{Jerry takes a beer and opens it.}

JERRY: Nothing like a cold brewski to help accentuate the experience.

SKULLB: I don't think you should be drinking on camera.

JERRY: Relax! If we just call them "cold ones" we'll slip by the censors, not unlike an octopus.

SKULLB: What kind of simile was that?

JERRY: A shut up one.

{A blast is heard, and green light illuminates the scene.}

CASEY: Wow. Sure is... bright.

SKULLB: I don't have to worry, you know. With the whole "I have no eyes" thing.

JERRY: Yeah. So, isn't this holiday called Independence Day?

CASEY: Yep.

JERRY: So, why are we watching fireworks and not respecting our forefathers?

CASEY: Hey, how do you think we drove off the British?

SKULLB: I-

CASEY: Explosives. That'll teach those limeys who to mess with.

SKULLB: But... aw, forget it. There's bright things exploding.

{Fran walks onto the scene, holding a tray of hot dogs and burgers.}

FRAN: Who's hungry?

SKULLB: I AM.

{SkullB grabs a hotdog and takes a huge bite out of it. Seconds later he starts grimacing and spits the food out.}

SKULLB: Did- did you cook these?

FRAN: Yep! I take it you don't like soy dogs?

SKULLB: What the hell, woman? Do you put those damn beans in everything you cook?

JERRY: Skully, I'm fairly certain that vegetarians can't eat meat.

SKULLB: Oh, yeah. That.

{Pause.}

SKULLB: I just want a damn hot dog.

{Another volley of fireworks goes off.}

FRAN: Ooh!

CASEY: Aah!

JERRY: Yeah, it's amazing.

FRAN: So, what exactly is Independence Day about, again?

CASEY: Beats me.

FRAN: Oh.

SKULLB: So, is this long enough for an episode?

JERRY: Yeah, probably.

{Cut: the site of the fireworks launching. A boy with red hair is lighting the fireworks.}

BLAZE: I can't believe they're paying me to light these!

{A firework goes off in his hand.}

BLAZE: GAAAAH I BLEW UP MY DAMN HAND!

SKULLB: {offscreen} Bodily harm is always funny!

{Cue credits.}
