(Thinking) Man, Rad and Enid are on another level. I wanna work with them so bad, but I can't even do a cool power move. I can't give up. There must be some way I could convince them to give me another chance. Maybe if I brought them a giant cake, or if I let them hold my rarest Pow cards. Maybe if I wore a baseball cap backwards. [He pictures these scenarios in the clouds]
SShannon
Excuse me. I couldn't help but notice your unemployment. You know these days if you wanna work at a place like Gar's, you gotta do something really special.
SShannon
No, no, no, no. I'm talking something like... infiltrating Lord Boxman's lair and maybe, like, defeating him all by yourself.
That's a good idea, so good that Rad and Enid will have to hire me and be my friends. [runs towards Boxmore] Thanks for the help, ominous stranger! You're the best!
SShannon
Ch'yeah, obviously. (laughs evilly)
SDShannon and Darrell
We're sorry, Father! We tried!
Ah, yes. Tried. Tried and failed-- for the last time!
Oh, I bet we could fail way more times.
You do not need to try. You need to do! (sighs) I knew you two would fail me again today. So I created a new robot to succeed where you never could! Say hello to Raymond!
(laughs) Here comes... the player of the year!
SShannon
Already hate him.
Hello, dearest brother and sister. Care for a friendly game of ball?
Of course, there is no game to be played, when there is just one player.
Brilliant introduction, Raymond! So very rude!
Thank you, Coach Boxman. Of course it was brilliant! You are, after all, the master engineer behind this vessel of pure athleticism.
SShannon
Totally just parlor tricks of a slimy amateur clown.
Father, I will make you proud by stealing a letter from the Gar's Bodega sign. Then no one will know they're a store. Their profits will plummet, and with that, they forfeit the business game.
Raymond, you're my favorite. I've always loved you. And I wish you two could be more like him.
Let us go, Raymond, and equip you with strong weapons.
(laughs) Yes! Hole in one.
SShannon
This is all your fault, glass brain! Now Father hates me.
Oh, yeah, right! He hates me more. But he loves Raymond so much more than both of us.
SShannon
Raymond is gonna fail anyways. But he won't fail as spectacularly as you!
Say that again, you orange mushroom head!
Yeah, maybe working here isn’t the right thing to help you right now.
JCJoe Cuppa
[His work vest disappears with flames] Oh. [Alarm goes off] Huh? What’s going on?!
[carries Joe Cuppa] You’re gonna love this! Nothing cheers me up more than beating up bad guys! [Throws him out the window.]
Psst, Joe. Prepare to intimidate.
JCJoe Cuppa
Like this? (chuckles)
SShannon
Welcome, plazoids! It’s me-- Shannon!
Yeah, we know it’s you, Shannon.
You can’t say welcome! You came here! Plus , you’re not welcome, like, at all. Go away.
SShannon
[chuckles] I’m welcoming you… [releases her weapons] TO YOUR DEMISE!
JCJoe Cuppa
Whoa! Would you look at the time.
SShannon
[Holds her blade in front of Joe Cuppa] Hold up! Is this a new addition to your little ensemble? [Stretches her head out] Looks a little… pathetique. [Joe Cuppa whimpers] He fits right in! [transforms into a hammer and smashes the ground.]
EKEnid, K.O., and Rad
Whoa! [Joe Cuppa fell to the ground with coffee spilled.] Joe?!
SShannon
Hold that pose! [takes pictures] I gotta show H.Q. how hard I am crushing you right now.
JCJoe Cuppa
[sighs] Listen, guys, I’m just your average Joe. I ain’t got powers like you. I’m no hero, that’s for sure.
No powers?! Pfff! [looks into Joe Cuppa’s head.] There’s gotta be something in th-- [finds a mouth and screams] Oh, that’s where your mouth is! That’s super disgusting!
So, you're gonna let us go?
No. I'm just gonna have to wait until after dinner, like a mint-- a punish-mint.
SShannon
♪When you're climbing up a ladder♪
♪And you feel a little splatter, dia--♪
Nooooo!! [runs off to stop her]
VProfessor Venomous
You had better have a good explanation for this.
FFink
Yeah! Coconut cream?! What were you thinking?!
Professor, I-I— I… Ooooohh! I’ll destroy those brats for ruining dessert!
SShannon
Oh! Are we destroying brats?
Are having dessert? [A pie is thrown at him] Ugh! [Lord Boxman catches him] Thanks, Dad. [Lord Boxman bends him] Ooh!
[Rips his coat and shirt and puts his tie around his head] And now you’re trapped! [Fires the pies which pelts the gang]
VProfessor Venomous
Boxman!
Oh! Professor, please! I-I can explain! I can explain! I can— I can— Okay, I can’t explain. But this was not the way it was supposed—
VProfessor Venomous
[Covers his mouth] May I?
VProfessor Venomous
Dinner parties are just so… stuffy. [Loads the bazooka] But vanquishing heroes— now, that’s much more exciting!
FFink
[On top of the bazooka] Fire!
FFink
[Laughs] [Falls off] Whoa! Oof!
VProfessor Venomous
I have to be honest, Boxman. I agreed to come tonight with plans to sever our business relationship after dinner.
VProfessor Venomous
You seemed too distracted lately. Though, now I understand why that was. Hard to find folks who value the sport in squashing heroes. And if all your robots can be as fun as this one, then I’ll gladly order 1,000 of them!
You… still… want my robots? You still… [Whimpers] …want me?
Just… Big hug! [Thinking] Oh, Boxy! You really can have it all. [Fink triggers a punching glove to him] Waughhhh!
Would a loser get to travel the open air in a vehicle made of delicious pie? I don’t think so. [Eats the pie]
Hey, Ernesto! Wanna join us?
I'm just gonna take this downtime to reeelaaax.
Hmm, yeah. We haven't gotten any orders from Dad in a while.
Yeah, he mentioned something about not attacking the plaza for 24 hours or he'll get fired. [starts reading newspaper] Shame.
DSDarrell, Shannon, and Raymond
(gasps)
Poor Dad! Maybe we should go check on him. Make sure he's okay?
SRShannon and Raymond
Yeah.
ENOUGH! Why are you all acting so...strange?
Well, we know you're not allowed to attack the plaza for a whole day.
DSDarrell, Shannon, and Raymond
You must be truly hurting inside.
Stop! What are you trying to say here? That I'm obsessed?! That I have a...problem?
SShannon
Uh, well, yeah. I mean, isn't attacking the plaza kinda, heh, the sole reason we exist?
Yeah, yeah, I mean, come on.
Forget you guys! I don't have a problem! You know who has a problem? [points to Raymond] You with being nosy! I can, too, go a day without attacking the plaza! And I don't need your help to do it! I'll show you all! I'll show you! And I'll show you! And I'll definitely show you... [He disappears through a trapdoor in the floor.]
JJethro
[as he rolls by] I am Jethro!
