From,
Sephiroth.

ZIPPY: {worriedly} Huh- wha- no! Never. Ever. Plever. NO.

?????: Liar.

{Pan over to show Kooky holding a VHS tape.}

KOOKY: You did make a movie.

ZIPPY: Hah, what are you- what are you talking about, Kooky?

{Zippy leans in front of Kooky.}

ZIPPY: {whispering} Ixnay on the appy-moviecray.

KOOKY: Ha, nooooo way, man. We are seeing this movie!

ZIPPY: Well, if that's how we're going to do it, let me bust out the vodka.

{Cut: the Living Room. Zippy, Kooky, Mitch and Aruseus are at the couch. Aruseus is holding popcorn while Zippy is holding a lowball glass.}

ZIPPY: Jus- just start the damn movie. I don't even care anymore.

MITCH: This is gonna be good.

{Rotate to show the TV screen. The tape starts. Fade out.}

{Fade in: Zippy's Bedroom. A piece of paper is held in front of the camera, reading "The Secret Planet".}

ZIPPY: The Secret... Pla- Planet! By Zippy the Platypus!

{Jump cut: a field. Zippy is in a space suit--which is pretty much a fishbowl and some pajamas.}

ZIPPY: I am the space-

{Jump.}

ZIPPY: The spaceman! I am out to find the secret planet!

ZIPPY: Ah! It's the secret-

{Jump.}

ZIPPY: I found the secret planet!

ARUSEUS: Raar. I am the secret monster of planet!

ZIPPY: Wait, wait, you did it wrong, start o-

{Jump.}

ARUSEUS: I am the monster of the secret planet!

ZIPPY: I will defeat-

{Jump. Aruseus is now on the ground.}

ZIPPY: He's dead. Now I must-

{Jump. A dinosaur toy is being held in front of the camera and is hitting the snowball.}

ZIPPY: {offscreen} Ahh! The secret planet is being attacked! By dinosaurs! Ohhh, nooo-

{Jump. Zippy is standing in front of the snowball. It is near melted.}

ZIPPY: The secret planet. Is no more.

{Cut: Zippy's Bedroom. A piece of paper is held in front of the camera again, yet again reading "The Secret Planet".}

ZIPPY: The- the end!

{Zippy turns the paper around, which reads "The End".}

{Cut: Zippy's Living Room. Zippy is out cold, while everyone else is laughing.}

ARUSEUS: Oh, man! That monster was so stupid! Who played him, anyway?

MITCH: Oh my God, oh my- that was the worst and best thing I've ever seen!

KOOKY: Oh, dear! Oh, ho ho ho my!

{Zippy mumbles a bit before falling off the couch. He wakes up.}

ZIPPY: YOU MAKE ME DRINK, DAMN YOU.

{Zippy stumbles off. Everyone is still laughing.}

{Cut: Zippy's Bedroom. Zippy is at his computer again.}

ZIPPY: Well, Seph, there you have it. I made a movie. No regrets. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to sleep off the booze.

{Zippy leaves.}
