{Zippy pronounces Lemon's name as "L'mond'mon".}

ZIPPY: An attachment, huh? {typing} Listen, L'mon, I would open the attachment, but I'm not a fan of crappy music. {clears screen} But that's me being mean to my viewers. There's no way I would do that!

{A small message reading "SARCASM DETECTOR: HIGH" blinks on the bottom of the screen for a couple seconds.}

ZIPPY: {typing} So, Lemmy... If it's awesome nineties memories you want, then it's awesome nineties memories you'll get! For instance, did you know that I moved here in the summer of '91?

{Flashback: Zippy's House, circa 1991. There are boxes here and there, and Zippy is unpacking things. He looks a bit younger and shorter.}

ZIPPY: {v.o.} Good times. This is also when I met my neighbor, Mitch!

{Mitch walks in.}

MITCH: Oh, hey! You must be my new neighbor!

ZIPPY: Yeah, same here! Hi, I'm Zippy!

MITCH: I'm Mitch, nice to meet you!

{The two shake hands.}

MITCH: How about you come over to my place later? I've got this Jell-O recipe I'm dying to try out!

ZIPPY: Awesome! I love Jell-O!

{The two walk out of the house.}

ZIPPY: {v.o.} Yeah. We were good friends back then. Of course, now the relation's a bit... strained, let's say.

{Cut: present day.}

ZIPPY: {typing} Not to mention, I founded the country of Ziplandia in 1993!

{Flashback: Zippy's Backyard. Zippy looks at it, approvingly.}

ZIPPY: {v.o.} Naturally, the land was in pristine shape. It was just asking to be colonized!

{Zippy plants a flag in the ground.}

ZIPPY: I claim this land in the name... of me!

ZIPPY: {v.o.} And ever since, Ziplandia has grown into the hustling, bustling, field with a hammer in it we know today. I'm so proud of myself!

{Cut: present day.}

ZIPPY: {typing} Good, good times. Let's see, what else happened? You know... besides the {mumbling} old Zippy Emails. {normally} I think maybe I did that one thing... with... the other thing.

{Flashback: Zippy's Kitchen. He is holding an avocado taped to a ruler.}

ZIPPY: {v.o.} I'm honestly... not sure what that was about. I'm pretty sure alcohol was involved.

{Cut: present day.}

ZIPPY: {typing} Huh. Not much really happened, did it? Oh, whatever, the email's done. {talking} So... tune in whenever I'm ready to check email! Goodnight, Wisconsin!

{Zippy throws the horns.}
