Lou
[as the end credits roll] Look at all these Hollywood phonies. Oh, Bob. Bob pronounces it "croi-ssant." Very annoying. Kurt, he's a fancy guy! Drinks seltzer! What are you, not getting enough free air? You got to pay to drink it? And let me tell you something about Nickelodeon, and I won't let them censor this! They... [a card sequence reading, "Oops! Please stand by" appears] I hope you like this episode, 'cause now, they get a lot worse!
[The trio are knitting a friendship blanket together while singing a song when they hear a banging sound from the door]
Lou
[off-screen] It's Lou. Let me in.
Shoot, it's the landlord!
Don't answer it. I don't want to deal with that pile of garbage.
Paper! He's not that bad.
No, I mean, he's literally trash.
[Rock opens the door, revealing Lou, a grumpy landlord standing in the doorway]
Lou, can you please put on pants?
Lou
Pants? What am I, rich? You'd think I work on Wall Street? Oh, look at me. I wear pants and own a sports team. Why don't I buy a Lamborghini, too, wear that around my legs?
Why is it so hot in here?
Scissors crank the heater up so he can show off his new tank top.
Check it out! It's a monster truck with enormous biceps. It's perfect for tough guys like me. I even had them print my motto on the back. "If you want the 'ceps, you do the reps."
You don't do the reps, and why are you in a tank top? It's winter. [opens the window blinds, revealing the winter sky and wind] You're gonna overload the heater like this. It can't handle… [the heater suddenly breaks down and the cold air breezes into the apartment; sighs in annoyance] Without me, you guys would not survive.
[The trio stand outside of Lou's apartment]
Lou
I'm raising the rent!
Listen, our heater broke and we need you to fix it.
Lou
[sarcastically] Oh, fancy, boys, you "set" the temperature in your apartment. You don't got to turn on a hot plate and rub it on your bum.
Lou
Well, I can't help you. I'm on my way to Landlord Con. It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature.
Lou
Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days. Mittens, you're the new landlord while I'm gone.
[Mittens walks out of the doorway and meows to them as if he was saying "I'm raising the rent!"]
That's so unfair! [as he and his friends return to their apartment] It'll be fine. We could survive without heat for three days.
[They enter their apartment and shockingly find it all covered in snow and icicles]
Well, we can go stay with my mom.
New adventure! Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom!
[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting] It's frozen shut! We're trapped!
By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps.
[groans annoyingly] Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. [to Scissors] You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot."
[shivering; resisting the cold temperature] T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold.
And Rock is not taking this seriously.
[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]
CCreepo
I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. [hisses at a car that just passed him] I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! [holds up a jar of his chest hair]
DDave
Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave.
[enters the trio's apartment] I heard you guys got Stephernie. I got Stephernie!
Lou
[sliding in] I got Dave!
How? How do you see that?
Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. [he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]
It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. [Logan gets up and walks away] The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... [throws some things which are deadly and screams] Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? [drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing] No. Gonna do some improv for you. I just need a word to get started.
Can I get a fruit that's round and orange?
[Paper rolls his eyes, thinking of another plan to entertain his friends]
[rapping] When I say "Paper", you say "rules". Paper-
RSRock, Scissors, Pencil, & Lou
No.
Oh, man, this is the best team we could assemble? Lou, Potato, Female Birthday Cop, Creepo the Stinkboy, Sal Garbanzo, and a polar bear.
No one even knows the routine! Also, Lou told me he just had a big meal.
Lou
[stuffed] I cannot move.
Oh, great. Now we're gonna humiliate ourselves in front of the whole world. Robo Car Wash won't make the history books, and we're gonna let down Rock.
[The trio are folding their laundry and quickly hide under the coffee table when they hear Lou knocking from outside the door]
[quietly] It's okay. If we don't say anything, he'll think we're gone and he'll leave us alo--
Lou
[kicks the door down with his foot] Oh, there you are. I was knocking. [the trio sighs in disappointment] Listen, something's wrong with my cat, Meatball. I took him to the vet, changed his diet, even bought him a kitty Peloton, which he never uses… but he's still looking rough.
Lou
30.
Lou
That's not that old. I'm only 31.
Uh, Lou, it might be Meatball's time.
Lou
What? I can't lose Meatball. We've done everything together.
Lou
I'm going broke trying to take care of him. I need more tenants.
You also need to check that vampire book. He looks even worse now.
Lou
That's on me. I accidentally made him sick 'cause I ordered a garlic pizza from Chaepo's Pizza.
You ordered a garlic pizza?
Lou
Yeah, with garlic knots, garlic tots, raw garlic, and a pint of garlic juice.
Lou
Try it.
[takes a drink of the garlic juice] Ooh, worse than I thought,
In fairness, Meatball would've gotten sick from a regular Cheapo's pizza. That place is awful.
AAnnouncer
Cheapo's Pizza! Everyone gets food poisoning here!
Lou
[as Meatball puts his paw on his hand] I know, Meatball. I'll find a way to save you.
[Dreamscape, Catalina, the President of the United States and the "Ah, my car" guy show up for the apology party]
Lou
[also showing up along with his cats] I'm here too! Also, I couldn't find a cat-sitter, so I brought the boys.
Lou, we didn't invite you.
Lou
And I expect an apology.
[Paper, Scissors, and everyone look at Rock and Franz after they've used the enlargement ray to turn them back to their normal sizes]
[to Franz] Well, thanks for teaching me how to do the turn. [starts to walk away, sadly]
Wait. I'd like to participate in this very weird event. Rock, I apologize. I've been selfish, oblivious, and put you through a wringer of comedic hijinks. But I promise to change. In fact, from this day forward, I'm going to be your mentor.
Because if I pass my knowledge on to you, it'll help me even more! People will ask, "Where did you learn those moves?" and you'll say, "Franz Roll, of course. The greatest model alive." It's like you will be a living advertisement for me, and my name will be etched in the tomes of modeling history!
Aww, that's nice. I'm glad everything worked out. [accidentally activates the enlargement ray, zapping Lou's cats in making them grow into enormous size]
Lou
What the heck did you do?!
[sighs] We're gonna need another soirée.
