Zippy,
What is your favorite weapon?

Yours truly,
Crashman

{Zippy reads "Crashman" as "Crashm'n".}

ZIPPY: {typing} Well, Crashm'n, that depends. Would it have to be practical? Or could it be one of those nonsense weapons? Whatever the case, I'm headed over to Kooky's for no damn reason.

{Zippy leaves the room.}

{Cut: Kooky's Lab. Kooky is asleep on his desk.}

ZIPPY: {offscreen} Kooks! You up?

KOOKY: Ah- wh- gh- {gets up} Y-yep! I'm up!

{Zippy walks in.}

ZIPPY: Kooky, I need a weapon. You got any?

KOOKY: How oddly convenient! I just finished my new device!

ZIPPY: So... what is it?

KOOKY: I was- I was getting to that. Anyway, here it is!

{Kooky pulls out a small blue cylinder.}

ZIPPY: Did you cut Mega Man's hand off or something?

KOOKY: Close! It's called the Adaptor Gun, only from K-Burra Labs!

ZIPPY: Is that... your company name?

KOOKY: What, is there a problem?

ZIPPY: It's kinda stupid, honestly.

KOOKY: So you don't want to test the Adaptor Gun.

ZIPPY: Okay, okay, okay. Sorry. Can I try it?

KOOKY: Sure! Just slip it on your left hand!

{Zippy does so. The gun latches onto his arm.}

ZIPPY: So, what? Is this thing permanently attached?

KOOKY: Not at all. In fact, you can take it off whenever you wish! Now, about the "adaptor" part. Look at this chip.

{Kooky pulls out a chip with a flame on it.}

ZIPPY: Let me guess. I slip this into the Adaptor Gun and I can shoot fire?

KOOKY: Precisely. Pop it in!

{Zippy takes the chip and pops it into the gun. The gun turns to a red color. It shoots flames.}

ZIPPY: Holy sweet! What else can it do?

KOOKY: Well, it can adapt to nearly anything you put in the slot. Grass, water, whatever!

ZIPPY: Oh, really?

{Cut: Zippy's Living Room. Zippy is there, the Adaptor Gun still on his arm. It is a brown color. Zippy shoots a chocolate bar into his mouth.}

ZIPPY: This is awesome.

{Cut: the streets of Anytown. A building is on fire.}

MAN: This building is on fire!

ZIPPY: {offscreen} You think?

{Zippy charges onto the scene, with a light blue Adaptor Gun. He shoots a spout of water out of the gun, extinguishing the flames.}

MAN: Wow! That duck just saved the lives of every orphan in the orphanage!

ZIPPY: That was an orphanage? Wow, I'm cooler than I thought.

WOMAN: You're a credit to our society!

ZIPPY: Oh, thank you! Now, then... I'm off to do more things with my awesome gun!

{Zippy runs off.}

{Cut: Mitch's Front Lawn. Mitch walks out of his house.}

MITCH: {yawns} What a great day to sleep in 'til four o'clock.

{Suddenly, a beam of ice shoots from offscreen and freezes Mitch's feet in place.}

MITCH: What the heck?

{Zippy walks onscreen.}

ZIPPY: Hey, Mitch! How's it going?

MITCH: Did you just... freeze me?

ZIPPY: Oh, what's wrong? Cold feet? Ahahahaha!

{Zippy walks off.}

MITCH: So help me God when I get unfrozen.

{Cut: Kooky's Lab. Zippy walks in.}

ZIPPY: Hey, Kooky! I'm done with the gun now.

KOOKY: Oh, really?

ZIPPY: Yeah, I got bored with it.

KOOKY: Okay, then. I'll take it and stash it with the other inventions I can never let anybody use ever.

{Kooky takes the gun and tosses it into a closet.}

KOOKY: There. Nobody will ever use it again.

ZIPPY: And that's just fine!

{Cut: the Indy X9.}

ZIPPY: {typing} And that's my favorite weapon. It's a shame nobody's ever going to ever see it again. Bye, all!
