[A boy and girl are standing next to a Christmas tree that has no presents under it]
[disappointed] Aww.
Mom and dad couldn't afford our Christmas presents because the price of gas is so high.
But I've been extra good. Swear I'm gonna [bleep] some [bleep] up next year.
[off-screen] Did somebody say "energy crisis"? [flies into the house]
Not in those exact words, Captain America.
The high cost of energy is crippling America, kids.
But what can we do?
We can lick this problem if we all do our part together. [stands next to the thermostat] Turn the dial down to 68 degrees, and we'll use less heating oil.
We're not gonna do that. My feet get cold.
Uh, okay. Next tip. [next to the TV, holding the plug in his hand] Electronics still use energy even when turned off. Make sure to unplug them.
That sounds exhausting.
Pass.
Uh... [we cut to outside, next to a clothes line full of clothes] Clothes dryers are 20% of a home's energy bill. Dry your laundry outdoors, and save power.
I'd never wait that long.
Nobody's gonna do that.
Oh, fine. [Bleep] you then. [throws his shield down, which breaks a window. He then storm off, getting caught in the clothes line and breaking it.
[Back inside mom and dad are awake]
Sorry we couldn't afford gifts this year, kids.
That's okay. It's enough that you don't force us to live like a bunch of broke-ass hippies.
Aww.
[We cut to Captain America, who is sitting in a chair with his uniform hanging on a clothes line outside]
[shivering] My feet are [bleep]ing freezing.
