Wait, is that hyphenated? Beats me.
Transcript
ZIPPY: Well, you guys, it's another one. Of my emails.
DancingDear Zippy,
I heard your dancing was the best!
I beg to differ.
I challenge you to a dance contest at the Underground Dance Club!
You'll find it easy.
From.... I'm not telling!
ZIPPY: Aww, man. You tease. {typing} Well, Anonymost, you may have heard that I am a supreme dancer. Just take a look at my trophy cabinet!
{Pan over to Sticky's tank. Sticky is snipping at a trophy lodged in the gravel of his tank.}
ZIPPY: {offscreen} That's right!
{Pan back.}
ZIPPY: {typing} I've won a trophy for my dancing--second place in the all-state line-dancing tournament-challenge! I've also got a medal for hyphenation somewhere, but that one's too low-quality to show off to you viewers. Anyway, {clears screen} I don't believe we have an Underground Dance Club, se-
ARUSEUS: {offscreen} Hey, Zippy!
{Zippy groans.}
ZIPPY: Hey, Aruseus.
{Zoom out. Aruseus is sitting on Zippy's bed.}
ZIPPY: Mind telling me why you're here?
ARUSEUS: Oh, I don't know. February vacation's all up ons and I thought I might as well drop by. New Hampshire's a long way away from Free Country!
ZIPPY: Well, uh... that's... good. And all.
ARUSEUS: Did you know that your bathroom window doesn't have a lock on it?
ZIPPY: Anyway, do you have anything important to say?
ARUSEUS: You were talking about that dance club? I know a place where you can go meet him!
ZIPPY: Really.
{Cut: a building. A sign on the front says "Hoedown Town".}
ZIPPY: Wh-what is this?
ARUSEUS: Hoedown Town!
ZIPPY: Since when was this here?
ARUSEUS: Gor, I don't know. Anyway, let's go inside! The guy said he'd meet here!
ZIPPY: No he didn't-
{The two walk inside to see a massive crowd encircling the dance floor.}
??????: {offscreen} So, did he show up yet?
?????: {offscreen} No, not yet.
??????: {offscreen} Heh! Figures!
ZIPPY: Wait a minute... I know that smug! It can only be one person!
ARUSEUS: Trophy Thomas?
ZIPPY: Yeah, my- wait. No. Not him at all.
??????: {offscreen} Hey... I know that voice!
{The crowd separates. On the dance floor is Speedy the koala, flanked by Harry, a hedgehog, and a penguin named Orville.}
ZIPPY: ... Speedy.
SPEEDY: Zippy. Glad you made it!
HARRY: So is this the guy, boss?
SPEEDY: Heh! You bet.
ARUSEUS: Woah, you guys are like... Anti-Zippy!
{Orville gets close to Aruseus.}
ORVILLE: Not me. I'm a penguin.
ARUSEUS: Ahhh... g-great.
ZIPPY: So you think you're a better dancer than me?
SPEEDY: I don't need to think about it. I have my friends to do it for me.
ORVILLE: Not me. I'm a penguin.
ZIPPY: So are we going to dance or not?
SPEEDY: Hah! You like to cut to the chase, huh?
{Speedy starts to dance. He begins with a simple stepping dance and begins to do acrobatic moves. He finishes with flair.}
SPEEDY: Hah! Your turn, duck-boy!
ZIPPY: {growls} Don't call me a duck!
{Zippy begins to do a western dance. He does a couple spins and flips and finishes.}
ZIPPY: {panting} How's... that?
SPEEDY: Please. I wouldn't even break a sweat!
ORVILLE: Not me. I'm a penguin.
{Speedy breakdances. He spins on his head a numerous amount of times before vaulting himself into the air and doing a great amount of flips. Suddenly, he botches the landing and falls on his rear end.}
ZIPPY: Pfft! Nice one!
ARUSEUS: Ohhh, this just got real!
{Zippy does a hip-hop dance. He employs various hip-hop moves, and suddenly breaks into a tap dance. Then, he begins breakdancing, and ends with an Irish stepdance.}
ZIPPY: Hah! {pants} That was... good, huh?
SPEEDY: ... You're... not good enough.
{The camera moves Speedy offscreen. Suddenly, Zippy gains an expression of terror. A bright blue glow emanates from offscreen and Zippy is blown back by it.}
SPEEDY: Good, huh?
ZIPPY: ... You... you win.
{Orville and Harry high-five Speedy as they exit.}
ARUSEUS: Cheer up, man! You did good!
ZIPPY: {quietly} no i didnt
ARUSEUS: Come on. You wanna go out for lunch?
ZIPPY: no
ARUSEUS: You want a soda?
ZIPPY: no
ARUSEUS: ... You wanna go key Speedy's car?
ZIPPY: yes
ARUSEUS: Let's go key his car.
{The two leave.}
