Waluigi Freak brought Maxwell into the picture. Somehow, I knew that would happen.

Oh, and I love this line:
EUGENE: But this is a soap opera. Of course the outcome will be stereotypical and anticipated. Mr. Maxwell and Mistress Lucy are probably going to burst through the door right about now.

MUSIC SWELLS UP and takes us to . . .

SCENE EIGHT. CRYIN' BRYAN (BRIAN?) DERN is reporting on the SCANDAL (for some reason).

DERN: Hello, people of Odyssey! Have I told you how much contempt I have for you? At any rate, Whit's End is under attack from the vicious left-wingers again, and I, for one, couldn't be happier! Let's replay the events that led to the parents' outrage.

We hear a VOICE RECORDING of the events.

TRENT: Hey, Mandy, look! Look! I shoved a straw up my nose!

MANDY: That's gross, Trent!

TRENT: Ha, ha!

WHIT: Hey, what's going on here?

MANDY: Trent is being disgusting!

TRENT: Mandy's being uptight!

WHIT: Trent, your manners are horrid. Mandy, don't be so legalistic. You're both banned from Whit's End!

. . . :-s

TRENT: What, we don't even get the decent Whit speech?

WHIT: Okay, well, um . . . *ahem* You two should be nicer to each other and not fight. After all . . . uh . . . you could grow up to get married!

TRENT: Eew!

MANDY: No, way!

TRENT: Doesn't Max already have that department cornered?

WHIT: You would think, wouldn't you?

*wink, wink*

WHIT: Anyway, you two are going to have big roles in the future --

TRENT: (whispered to MANDY) He's been reading the script.

WHIT: -- so you need to get along.

MANDY: What if we don't want to?

WHIT: What?

TRENT: Yeah, this is bogus!

He THROWS A GLASS onto the floor.

And it BREAKS. :shock:

Suddenly, both start YELLING, as if their PERSONALITIES were ALTERED.

WHIT: Quiet. Quiet, please. Please, settle down. Mandy, Trent, please subject yourselves to . . . SHUT UP!

They quiet.

TRENT: You said the forbidden word.

MANDY: (to TRENT) You've obviously never met Craig.

WHIT: Both of you are behaving like insolent little brats! Now, listen here! Trent, you're annoying, disgusting, and a Lawrence-wannabe. You'll never make it in life.

MANDY: Ha!

WHIT: Mandy, you're too cute, too faceless, and too cheery. Your friends hate you behind your back.

MANDY: (gasp!)

WHIT: And Liz! You whine way too much, you couldn't carry on a pleasant conversation if you tried, and everyone hates you!

LIZ: What do I have to do with this?!

WHIT: Nothing, I was just on a roll.

Return to DERN's coverage.

DERN: Shocking, shocking, shocking. The lawsuit for Harassment, Emotional Duress, Defamation of Character, and Being a Meanie is being processed by the American legal system and will be covered in approximately twenty-one minutes. Until then . . .

TO BE CONTINUED.

(Yeah, I'm short on time. )

COLD OPEN TO . . .

SCENE NINE. Another FAMILIAR VOICE is heard.

CHRIS: Hi, this is Chris! We've been having some *ahem* technical difficulties here in Odyssey, but we're back on the air now! So let's get back to the --

WHIT: Wait, technical difficulties?

CHRIS: Yes. Like when Waluigi_Frea -- I mean, MISTER Waluigi_Freak_99 had a World Literature report due, or when he had a bad throat cold, or when he really didn't feel like writing.

WHIT: Ah. Wait, how am I talking to you?

CHRIS: This must be one of the episodes where I live in Odyssey, I guess. Oh, will you let me do my opening? Go yell at some kid, or something.

WHIT: All right. Hey, Trent! You get Eugene out of that choke hold this instant!

WHIT EXITS.

CHRIS: Now, as I was saying, technical difficulties are never pleasant. Like this one afternoon when my blender was having technical difficulties. Let's see if that eccentric professor can tell us about technical difficulties. Oh professor!

Suddenly, DA WRITERS enter.

MARSHALL: Hey, Chris, what are you doing?

CHRIS: Oh, one of my wrap-around sketches.

NATHAN: Didn't those go out in the early 1990s?

CHRIS: Well, yes, but I'm trying to revitalize them. Y'see, I thought of this really cute one where we --

KATHY: No! We must spend as much air time as we can on the episode itself.

CHRIS: Why?

KATHY: So that Blackgaard can take over the world faster.

CHRIS: Oh, how much time could five minutes take up?

NATHAN: Five minutes. Now announce the commercial break!

CHRIS: Wait a second, why do you guys want Blackgaard to take over the world, anyway?

. . .

MARSHALL: Oh dear. She's blown our cover. Well . . . (removes mask) Now, begin the episode!

CHRIS: Hank Murray! You're in cahoots with Blackgaard!

MARSHALL: No, I'm just working with him. Now do it!

CHRIS: No! Nathan, help!

NATHAN: Allow me to properly introduce myself, my dear. (removes mask) Nathan Hoobler, CEO of Waynewright Plastics, Incorporated.

CHRIS: Gasp! What a shock!

NATHAN: A shock?

CHRIS: A shockity-shock!

NATHAN: A shockity-shock, indeed.

HANK: Indeed!

NATHAN: A shock indeed, I must concede.

CHRIS: This rhyme for which I see no need.

NATHAN: Correct! We're wasting time. Come with me, and meet my little friend . . . Freddy!

CHRIS: Wait, Freddy who?

EUGENE: Whom.

CHRIS: Thanks, Eugene. Freddy whom?

NATHAN: What do you mean, "Freddy whom"?

CHRIS: Well, there was Freddy, that kid from "The Life of the Party" whose parents were getting divorced. And Freddy, that kid who wanted a milkshake in "Connie Comes to Town". And Freddy Hart in --

NATHAN: Okay, Freddy C. Happy?

CHRIS: But I thought Freddy C. was just --

NATHAN: Oh, brother, just come with me!

CHRIS: No! Kathy, do something!

KATHY removes her mask.

DALTON KERN: Oh, I don't think so, my dear.

CHRIS: Oh no! Wh-what are you going to do to me?

HANK: We're convicted felons. What do you think we're gonna do?

CHRIS: You don't mean . . .

NATHAN: Oh, yes.

DALTON: We're gonna tie you up and lock you in a broom closet for three hours!

CHRIS: No!

DRAMATIC MUSIC cliffhangers us to the commercial break . . .

I've lost count of the number of scenes, so . . .

NEXT SCENE. We open with FAST, DRAMATIC music, kinda like Jaws but without the slow tempo and the suspense and the subtlety and the threat of danger and the man-eating shark and the ocean setting and the vengeful sailors and the shark cage and the popcorn. We are in WHIT'S END, where WHIT is at his WHIT'S END.

. . .

Get it? It's . . . a pun.

Anyway, WHIT and JACK are talking and stuff.

JACK: So, when's the trial?

WHIT: Oh, probably two episodes from now.

JACK: Two episodes?

WHIT: Yes. You didn't get the foreboding feeling that we were opening up an extended plot-arc?

JACK: Well, actually, now that you mention it, I have been having these strange dreams recently . . .

CONNIE: Who cares? Whit, there's something extremely important we need to tell you!

WHIT: Important?

CONNIE: Important!

WHIT: What kind of important?

EUGENE: (clears throat) A matter which is of the utmost urgency and top priority, within lying crucial value of considerable relevance, being noteworthy in all respects of the --

CONNIE: Uber-important!

EUGENE: Well, there's a less diplomatic way of going about it.

JACK: We've learned of a very serious matter, Whit!

WHIT: What kind of serious?

EUGENE: (clears throat) Lacking any expressions of humour or happiness, a somewhat or extensively grave manner or disposition, solemn, thoughtful, earnest, weighty --

CONNIE: Uber-serious!

EUGENE: Well, there's a less diplomatic way of going about it.

JACK: It could be world-threatening!

WHIT: What kind of threatening?

EUGENE: (clears throat) Adjective, being in presentation of a threat or menace with the ill-intention of doing harm, frightening, intimidating, scaring, the potential for a --

CONNIE: Uber-threatening!

EUGENE: Well, there's a less diplomatic way of going about it.

JACK: Oh, will you two stop? :x

CONNIE: Hey, emoticons!

WHIT: What kind of emoticons?

EUGENE: (clears throat) An emoticon is a term applied to a graphic manifestation of an emotion via the form of faces, similar to that of a smiley, but with a --

JACK: Oh, for heaven's sakes: Blackgaard's released the Ruku virus!

WHIT: The Ruku virus!

JACK: The Ruku virus!

CONNIE: The Ruku virus!

EUGENE: The Ruku virus!

HARLOW DOYLE: Great celebrated jumping frogs of Calaveras County!

CONNIE: Harlow, not now!

WHIT: Well, we'll have to stop him!

BLACKGAARD: Then, go ahead. Stop me!

WHIT: No, it can't be!

BLACKGAARD: Yes! It is I, Dr. Regis Blackgaard, as a virus in the Imagination Station!

CONNIE: (gasp)

BLACKGAARD: You are correct to gasp, for I am intimidating.

CONNIE: (gasp)

BLACKGAARD: You are correct to gasp when I announce, "You are correct to gasp, for I am intimidating," for I am intimidating.

CONNIE: (gasp)

BLACKGAARD: You are correct to gasp when I announce, "You are correct to gasp when I announce, 'You are correct to gasp, for I am intimidating,' for I am intimidating," for I am intimidating.

CONNIE: (gasp)

BLACKGAARD: You are correct to gasp . . .

This is the best Odyssey story there has been, and probably will ever be. The writers should hire you.
