Transcript

{Open: SkullB's Apartment.}

JERRY: So how did we get enough funds for a second season?

SKULLB: You, know, places.

JERRY: Places?

SKULLB: Okay, I took your kidney and sold it.

JERRY: You WHAT?

SKULLB: It's alright, you only need one.

JERRY: I had... only one... to begin with...

SKULLB: Oh, really?

{Jerry falls over.}

SKULLB: Oops.

{Cue the new theme song, found here.}

{Cut: SkullB's Apartment. Tom, Jerry and Casey are watching TV.}

TOM: Ah, it's so good to be back.

{SkullB walks in, holding a script in his hand.}

SKULLB: Hey, guys! I just finished writing my awesome script!

JERRY: Script? For what?

SKULLB: A TV show! I'm hoping to pitch it to a big director over in Hollywood!

JERRY: Hm, let me read it. {reads a few words} Nah, it sucks.

SKULLB: But... b-but...

CASEY: S-B, I honestly don't think someone who types with wheels could possibly write something fit to show on television.

SKULLB: Tom, what do you think?

TOM: I refuse to answer as I believe that will damage my public image.

SKULLB: Oh, don't go belting out legal jargon like that!

TOM: Okay, SkullB? None of us care right now. We're watching MTV. You know, the channel that hates music.

SKULLB: I can't believe you all. Does nobody have a sense of culture in this household?

JERRY: No. {turns to Tom} Hey, pull my finger!

SKULLB: Grrr! I'm leaving. For HOLLYWOOD!

{SkullB leaves.}

JERRY: He'll be back.

CASEY: I don't know. Skully takes things a little seriously sometimes... he might really be gone!

TOM: Oh. I never liked him anyway.

{Cut: an Airplane. SkullB is sitting in a seat.}

PILOT: {offscreen} Thank you for flying Purple Platypus Airlines, your safest bet when you're flying. Please buckle up and hold on to your britches.

SKULLB: Who uses the word "britches" anymore? But that's not the point. I'll show those ingrates back there that Skullivan Buggy can be a good writer!

{Cut: an office building. Tom, Jerry and Casey are in the meeting room. Outside the room, it says "New Friend Tryouts".}

CASEY: Next!

{Chaos walks in.}

CASEY: What's your name?

CHAOS: Arbraxas Chaosus Malifact, but Chaos is fine.

JERRY: Mmhmm. What are your talents?

CHAOS: If I wanted, I could split the world in two.

JERRY: Ah, interesting. What sitcom archetype are you?

CHAOS: Wh-what?

TOM: You know. Are you the snarky, pessimistic straight man? Are you the goofy, comedic funny guy? Or are you the girl?

CHAOS: Well, you can rule out the third one. I guess I'd be the straight man?

TOM: Okay, thanks for coming. We'll call you if we can get to you.

CHAOS: {walking out} Bunch of maniacs, these are...

CASEY: NEXT!

{Garzel walks in.}

JERRY: Your name?

GARZEL: Garzel.

TOM: Uh-huh... now what exactly are you?

GARZEL: I'm half Floatzel, half Garchomp.

TOM: {whispering to Jerry} What are those two animals?

JERRY: {whispering to Tom} I think it's a Digimon.

TOM: Okay, then, Mr. Garzel. What talents do you have?

GARZEL: I can rip a phonebook in half.

TOM: Ooh! I want this guy!

JERRY: Not yet. {to Garzel} Thank you for coming. Don't call us, we'll call you!

{Garzel leaves. At the same time, Bellstrom walks in.}

TOM: H-hello.

BELL: What?

TOM: You look a lot like Megaman.

BELL: And?

TOM: Oh, whatever. Name, please.

BELL: Imothy Albert Bellstrom. Though, if you want, Bell's fine with me.

JERRY: Alright, Bell. Tell us, what sitcom archetype are you?

BELL: I guess I'm the funny guy! I mean, I'm random, and everyone loves that!

JERRY: Uh-huh... so what do you do for a living?

BELL: I create webcomics.

JERRY: Ah. So, any talents?

BELL: I can tear TWO phonebooks in half.

TOM: OOH! This guy! This guy!

JERRY: Alright. Bell, you're on our team. Congrats.

BELL: Really? Sweet! I take it this is the Bell Show now?

JERRY: Sure.

BELL: YES!

{Cut: Hollywood. SkullB exits the plane and hails a cab.}

SKULLB: Wow, I'm not getting much airtime today. TAXI!

{A taxi pulls up.}

SKULLB: To the hotshot director's building!

{SkullB enters the taxi and speeds off.}

{Cut: Office Building in Hollywood. The taxi pulls up and SkullB exits.}

SKULLB: Wow... this building sure is fancy. Well, time to go.

{SkullB enters the building and walks up to the front desk.}

SKULLB: Excuse me? Ma'am?

SECRETARY: Yes?

SKULLB: Hi, Skullivan D. Buggy. I'm here to pitch a series?

SECRETARY: Ah, an aspiring writer. {pushes button} Mr. Director? A little man wants to see you about a new series.

DIRECTOR: {over intercom} Bring him up!

SECRETARY: You heard him, Mr. Buggy. Head on up to the fifth floor, please.

SKULLB: YESYES!

{Cut: SkullB's Apartment. Everyone (including Bell) is at the couch.}

BELL: So, who's up for a zany adventure?

JERRY: Eh.

TOM: Eh.

CASEY: Maybe later.

BELL: What? I thought this show was about wacky antics and such!

CASEY: Well, it's more about us sitting around and watching TV. And maybe something cool happens.

BELL: Aww... I want to kick butt.

{Cut: Director's Office. SkullB and a director are in there, conferencing.}

DIRECTOR: So what's this show about?

SKULLB: It stars this guy named Kyle, and his friend Jack, and Jack's girlfriend Sharon, and they have awesome adventures each week! It's got fart jokes, mature humor, everything you want in a cartoon!

DIRECTOR: Hm. Tell you what, we can show it on Adult Swim and G4, and if we get good enough feed back, we'll talk about a series.

SKULLB: Really? AWESOME!

DIRECTOR: Thank you for doing business with us, Mr. Buggy.

SKULLB: You too, Mr. Director!

{Cut: SkullB's Apartment. All four are still on the couch.}

BELL: You guys... you don't want to do anything?

JERRY: Sh. We wait for the adventure to come to us.

BELL: Mmf. I wish I never had this job.

{SkullB comes in.}

SKULLB: Hey, guys! You won't beli- Who's that?

BELL: Oh, me? I'm Bell! What's your name?

SKULLB: Skullbuggy.

BELL: Oh, nice to- oh wait.

SKULLB: Jerry? What's he doing in MY spot on the couch?

JERRY: We thought you'd be gone for good, so we hired a replacement.

SKULLB: Get him out!

JERRY: Oh, fine. Bell? Sorry, but you're fired.

BELL: Aw. {walking out} And I was looking forward to the Bell Show, too...

CASEY: So, Skully, how'd it go in Hollywood?

SKULLB: They're putting my pilot on the air!

CASEY: Cool.

JERRY: Maybe we'll see it.

SKULLB: Yeah. And I'll see it too.

{SkullB gets on the couch.}

SKULLB: Man, I can't wait!

{Cut: a couple hours later.}

SKULLB: W-wow. That was... that was really bad.

JERRY: Yeah. I guess that means Adult Swim will keep putting it on the air?

{Pause.}

JERRY: ZING!

{SkullB throws a bowling ball at Jerry.}

JERRY: Ow-wow-wow-wow! Where did you... GET that?

SKULLB: I saved it since episode four.

CASEY: Well, we're all back together.

TOM: Here's to friendship!

{Everyone high fives eachother and jumps. The frame freezes.}

ALL: Yeah!

JERRY: Y-yeah.
