Boy and Girl, Boy and others in “Unfinished Business”

[A boy and girl are standing next to a Christmas tree that has no presents under it]

BGBoy and Girl

[disappointed] Aww.

BBoy

Mom and dad couldn't afford our Christmas presents because the price of gas is so high.

GGirl

But I've been extra good. Swear I'm gonna [bleep] some [bleep] up next year.

ACaptain America

[off-screen] Did somebody say "energy crisis"? [flies into the house]

BGBoy and Girl

Not in those exact words, Captain America.

ACaptain America

The high cost of energy is crippling America, kids.

BGBoy and Girl

But what can we do?

ACaptain America

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.

GGirl

We're not gonna do that. My feet get cold.

ACaptain America

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.

BBoy

That sounds exhausting.

GGirl

Pass.

ACaptain America

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.

GGirl

I'd never wait that long.

BBoy

Nobody's gonna do that.

ACaptain America

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.

GGirl

That's okay. It's enough that you don't force us to live like a bunch of broke-ass hippies.

WFWhole Family

Aww.

[We cut to Captain America, who is sitting in a chair with his uniform hanging on a clothes line outside]

ACaptain America

[shivering] My feet are [bleep]ing freezing.
