Transcript

{Open: The Decentville Cinemaplex, in the lobby. Tom and Casey are there, talking.}

CASEY: Man, that movie was terrible! The plot was contrived, the actors were unconvincing, and the special effects? Pfft.

TOM: That... that was that game of pinball you played earlier. The movie doesn't start for ten minutes.

CASEY: DON'T CORRECT ME!

{A bowling ball falls out of nowhere and onto Tom's head. Tom passes out.}

CASEY: That's why!

{Cue theme song.}

{Cut: SkullB's Apartment. All the gang are on the couch, watching TV.}

ANNOUNCER: We now return to VH1's Behind the Music with Those Guys who Sung "The Safety Dance".

JERRY: Aw, man. I've seen this episode three times already.

SKULLB: What, this week?

JERRY: Today.

SKULLB: Oh.

TOM: Ah, what would we do without the miracle that is television?

CASEY: Go outside? Maybe?

SKULLB: What's an owt-side?

JERRY: Is that a food?

TOM: I think I saw one of those things once.

CASEY: You can't be that stupid, can you?

SKULLB: Is that a challenge?

CASEY: Just be quiet.

TOM: Shh, shh. This is the best part!

CASEY: Ugh. All this watching TV is going to take a toll on you someday. I know it.

{As if on cue, a flash of lightning erupts from the window and the TV turns off.}

TOM: Wh- what just happened?

JERRY: I think the TV turned itself off. Quick, someone get the remote!

SKULLB: It's not working! {breaking down} It's not working!

JERRY: Oh, Lord. We don't have TV...

CASEY: What, like you can't find anything else to do?

JERRY: What else do we have? Without TV, we... we are incomplete.

CASEY: God... Now, usually I'm the one being dumb, but this is beyond me.

SKULLB: Casey! You're the voice of reason here, right?

CASEY: No, not rea-

SKULLB: You need to help us!

TOM: Just go find the switch to the backup generator and we'll have TV!

CASEY: B-backup generator?

SKULLB: We had it installed just in case. Now go, savior... go and return to us the flame that was stolen!

CASEY: God, why do I do this?

{Casey leaves.}

SKULLB: Now, while she finds that, we need to find some way to entertain ourselves!

TOM: We have our DSes, right?

SKULLB: It's no use! Mine's out of batteries and the charger's useless!

JERRY: What else do we have?

SKULLB: I think I have a comic book or something in my room.

JERRY: But it's night time! We can't possibly read without light!

SKULLB: Fine. I'll go get a flashlight or something.

{Cut: The Basement. Casey is there with a flashlight.}

CASEY: God, I do not get paid enough for this. I don't get paid at all, actually. I gotta ask the producers about it.

ZIPPY: {offscreen} NO!

CASEY: ... Wow. That was surprisingly meta. Anyway, I've gotta find that generator, for some reason.

???: You're looking for the generator, are you?

CASEY: Whozawhat? What was that?

{A figure emerges from the shadows. It is a janitor.}

MIKE: The name's Mike. Mike the Janitor.

CASEY: Well... nice to meet you.

MIKE: I've been living down here for near ten years now, and you're the first I've seen since that one boy who put in the generator.

CASEY: Huh. That's a bit... creepy.

MIKE: Now, I take it you're looking for the generator. That's the thing--that generator is guarded by some nasty stuff.

CASEY: Nasty... stuff?

MIKE: Killer toadstools, vicious winged lizards, and one terrifying serpent at the end. Only past there you'll find the switch.

CASEY: ... Really.

MIKE: I swear it. I've been through there a couple times myself to turn it on. The problem is, I'm getting too old for it. So you need to defeat the serpent king and pull the switch.

CASEY: ... Really.

MIKE: Now go. Toss this potion onto the ground and a door will open to you.

{Casey grabs a fizzy red potion and tosses it onto the ground. A door appears out of nowhere.}

CASEY: Holy {cover your ears, child}! I guess you were right, old man!

MIKE: Would I lie to you?

{Cut: SkullB's Apartment. SkullB and the rest are lying on the couch, nearly comatose.}

TOM: So... so bored.

SKULLB: I can't feel my fun anymore!

JERRY: Don't worry, guys! I've got an idea! I saw it on TV once.

SKULLB: Don't... don't remind me.

JERRY: Skully, your eyes work like headlights, right?

SKULLB: Yeah, so?

JERRY: Turn 'em on and aim 'em at the wall.

SKULLB: {does so} Okay, now what?

JERRY: Watch.

{Jerry makes a shadow puppet of a dog.}

SKULLB: Heh... Heh heh! It's a dog!

TOM: Do another one!

{Jerry makes a shadow bird.}

SKULLB: Hey, awesome!

TOM: Make a crocodile!

{Jerry makes a crocodile.}

TOM: Woah, cool!

SKULLB: Wow! Who knew our hands could be manipulated to look like animals?

{Cut: The Basement.}

CASEY: Well, here goes nothing.

{Casey steps through the door.}

{Cut: The Pixel Dimension. Casey appears in the castle level from Super Mario Bros. She is pixelated to look like Mario.}

CASEY: Woah! I look like Megaman or something!

{A Goomba approaches.}

CASEY: Ahhh! Killer mushroom!

{Casey stomps on it.}

CASEY: Phew. Crisis averted.

{Casey continues on and dodges a firebar. She jumps on several Koopa Troopas and reaches Bowser.}

CASEY: Oh my God the Lizard King.

{Casey runs and ducks under the fire Bowser breathes and reaches the axe.}

CASEY: Hm... I wonder what THIS does?

{Casey pulls the axe and Bowser falls into the lava.}

CASEY: Awesome! {walks offscreen}

{Cut: The Generator. Casey enters looking beat up and tired. She looks at the switch and pulls it. The generator starts to hum and the lights flicker back on.}

CASEY: Oh, thank heaven I'm done with this.

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

ANNOUNCER: Next on Filthy Jobs, Human Sacrifice! Will Matt Crowe get killed to appease the blood gods? Find out coming up!

CASEY: Oh, I'm so glad we're finished with this whole business.

SKULLB: Yeah! We have TV again!

TOM: Now we never have to worry about anything anymore!

{A bowling ball falls through the roof and crushes the TV. Aruseus peeks his head through the hole in the ceiling.}

ARUSEUS: Sorry, guys!

{Casey just stares at Aruseus angrily.}

ARUSEUS: What?

CASEY: I will rip that ring off your back and shove it down your throat like a hula hoop.

SKULLB: That's our Casey! Dun dun dun dah dun dun- DAH!

{Cue credits.}
