What did you call me?
EricOh. Uh, nothing, sir. I was just, uhh...
What have you done with the rest of my unit?
What does he mean, his unit?
[Papa Nichols picks up his slipper]
EricI guess he thinks he's back in World War II.
[uses his slipper as a walkie-talkie] General Patton, sir. It's Sergeant Nichols. I've just been captured by 2 German nerds!
EricOh. No, no, sir. We're not Germans.
That's just what a German would say!
EricNo, no, no. You don't understand...
No, no. You will not capture me. [bonks Eric in the head] Ever!
Eric!
[mumbling] Get outta here! [Craig screams as Papa Nichols throws him over the couch] USA! USA! USA! [starts running off] USA! USA! USA! USA!

EricWell, I guess he's confused on the count of all that medication they gave him after his surgery.
Well, where could he be?
[they look up as Papa Nichols screams and falls from the ceiling and lands on top of them]
Ahh, ahh. USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

[Eric's phone is ringing revealing it's Josh]
What's that noise?! Where's it coming from?
EricMy shirt pocket?
[Papa Nichols takes Eric's phone out of his pocket]
What is this? Is it some kind of weapon? Are you two from the future?!
EricNo, that's just my cell phone.
It's a trick. Incoming!
[Papa Nichols throws the phone at the wall, breaking it thinking it was a weapon]
EricOh no! He ruined my picture phone! It had all of our vacation photos on it.

[Craig and Eric are trying to untie themselves]
EricAlmost-- [they finally get the rope off]

What? [he unties them]
EricAnd I'll tell you something else! [he angrily shows Drake and Josh his broken cellphone after Papa Nichols broke it] YOU GUYS ARE GONNA BUY ME A NEW CELLPHONE!
Who's getting married?
[disgruntled] Our Great Aunt Catherine.
EricIsn't she like 87?
89. But she's got this insane beach house in Laguna Niguel, so it's majorly important that she loves us.
[Drake hits Eric in the chest and notices Lucy, one of his ex-girlfriends]
EricOw.
That's Lucy, my ex-girlfriend. Josh invited my ex-girlfriend?
EricWell, yeah. When we were going over the guest list, Josh said you and Lucy were still friends.
Well, we are, but I invited Carly. I can't have my current girlfriend and my ex-girlfriend at the same party. You want the universe to explode? Man, what am I gonna--?
[hits Eric in the chest again and notices Christine]
EricOw!
Christine? How many of my ex-girlfriends are here?
EricJust those two, I hope. Or else I'm gonna need chest replacement surgery!

EricOh, can we come in?
No! [answers the phone] Hello?
[scene changes to the Premiere, revealing to be Drake and Josh's twin dates]
Hey, are Drake and Josh there?
Nope, sorry.
Well, they were supposed to meet my sister and I here 45 minutes ago.
Well, I'm sure if they cared about you at all, they'd be there.
Huh?
Um, actually? [looks back at Craig and Eric] Drake and Josh moved to Canada.
Canada?
But they felt bad about missing your date, so they're sending another couple of guys over to meet you.
Okay?
[hangs up and goes to the door] Alright, do you two want to spend your Saturday night playing with model rockets? Or would you rather be on a date with two hot girls?
Hot girls?
Twins.
EricTwins? [laughs with Craig]
Have fun. [closes the door]
Wait, wait! [taps the door with Eric]
[opens the door] What?
EricWhere do we go?
The Premiere! [slams the door]
W-wait! [looks at Eric, as the two rush to the Premiere]
[at the Premiere, Craig, Eric, and the twin girls are sitting and laughing together]
EricSo our friend, Hender comes in and says, "Hey, I thought this was a cafeteria, not a rocketeria!" [The group laughs again] True story!
[raises hand] I'm a witness!
Wow, you guys are so fun!
Totally!
You mind getting us a couple more sodas?
Sure, be glad to. [grabs Twin 2's cup]
EricWe'll be right back. [grabs Twin 1's cup]
[The two get up and walk towards the soda fountain, as the twins watch them]
Let's get outta here!
Run!
[Both twins flee the Premiere before Craig and Eric can return]
[A few days later at the Premiere, Josh, Craig, Eric, and Leah are hanging out laughing listening to a funny story from Eric and Craig]
EricAnd so me and Craig are in the swimming pool, we're halfway through a game of Marco Polo.
I look down and realize he still has his socks on!
[Everyone laughs]
[Without Josh, Drake begins suffering bad luck, while Josh's life improves with more good luck than ever, even passing his make-up exam and getting his grade back up]
[arrives at the Premiere] Hello, Josh.
Hi, Drake.
Why are you all sweaty?
I'm all sweaty because I ran out of gas and I had to walk all the way here because SOMEBODY forgot to fill up the car!
It's not my responsibility to fill the car with gas.
You always fill up the car!
Used to, now I put in just enough gas for myself.
Well, good! You know, good for you! I DON'T NEED YOUR GAS! And just so you know, I'm gonna go see a movie right now and I don't need a free ticket from you cause mom paid me 10 bucks to get out of the house! So I don't need you for ANYTHING!
Movie tickets here are $11.
What?
EricAnd popcorn and soda are gonna cost you another 6 or 7.
D'oh! You know what? I'm not even gonna buy a ticket, I'm just going in. Right, just going right in! [yells at ticket checker employee, he stubbornly walks into theater 7]
[clears throat, grabs the communicator] Security, we have a problem in theater 7: male Caucasian, sweaty, wearing a gray sweatshirt. [beeps] So what's the difference between a hoagie and a submarine sandwich?
I always thought a hoagie was a hot sandwich, and a submarine could be served hot or cold.
No, I think it's the other way around.
EricOkay, but what's a grinder?
Same thing as a hoagie.
[getting dragged by the security guards] Hey! Hey! Let go, let go! Josh, Josh! Tell them to let me go! Josh, Josh! Tell them! Tell them! Look this way, I know this guy, I know this guy. Ask him, ask him.
Is this guy a friend of yours?
[pause]
[satisfied] No, he's not.
[frustrated] Josh!! Oh. You're gonna regret this, Josh! You need me! YOU NEED ME!!!
So, hoagie and grinder same thing, huh?
[All talking at once in agreement] Yes./That's right./Uh-huh./Yeah.
All in the sandwich family.
Josh, Mindy. The new chemistry textbooks just arrived. They're in my classroom.
No way!
Oh, come on!
Hey, remember in Dragon to Death when Billy Chang fights Joaquin the Dream?
EricRemember? One does not forget the woo-choo fist of silence. [Tries to demonstrate, only to accidentally punch Drake in the eye and knock him out in the process] Oh, my God!
Drake, are you alright!?
Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out...
[annoyed] I know how to breathe!
[screaming] JUST DO WHAT I SAY!
[scared] Okay.
EricWhat did you do!?
I just plugged in the 5-K!
I'll PLUG IN YOUR 5-K!!! [grabs Craig's head]
[screams] She's got my head! She's got my head! She's got my head! [others take Helen off of him]
