Scenes with Alasdair 39
[Alasdair Gillis, Doug Ptolemy and Robert Enns are seated on the bench in their football uniforms, furiously scratching their itchy feet.]
R Robert
This itching is driving me crazy!
A Alasdair
Me too. I wish there were something we could do to get rid of it.
[Enter the Coach, carrying a can of foot powder.]
C Coach
Itch no more! He-Man Foot Powder is here! It'll not only cure the itch, but your feet will smell like a rose.
Just what we've been looking for!
[The boys excitedly sprinkle the powder on their feet.]
A Alasdair
OW! This kills!
C Coach
But has the itching stopped?
R Robert
Yes, the itching has stopped, but now our feet hurt from the thorns!
C Coach
And they smell like roses ! [To the camera] He-Man Foot Spray! Ya can't take it, yer not a man!
(The boys begin to cry and wail.)
[Ross is tutoring the kids on set.]
Alasdair, (writing "H2O" on a chalkboard) can you tell me what that means? (The other kids laugh.)
A Alasdair
Of course I know, I'm just not gonna say it, that's all.
Alasdair, you are gonna give me the answer or I'm gonna punish you again.
A Alasdair
Ross, you're doing this deliberately, aren't you? You're just trying to set me up!
Get over here. Come on, Alasdair, move. (Alasdair heads over near Ross) Oh, I wish I'd been a teacher all along! I could have been mean to kids every day of the week! Put your hand out!
A Alasdair
What do you mean put my hand out?
Alasdair, either you hold out your hand or you say "water".
[Ross gets drenched.]
A Alasdair
Well, Ross, I think you've said it all.
A Alasdair
Ross, if you think I'm going to wear this (bleep, bleep) sailor outfit, you can just (bleep, bleep)!
Alasdair, why did you get bleeped? And we weren't even using bad language.
A Alasdair
You know, Vanessa you're right. I don't know what I said wrong.
(Alasdair is slimed. More bleeping is heard and James comes in with a remote control)
J James
Hey guys, have you seen this neat gizmo? It sure makes a cool bleeping noise.
A Alasdair
(bleep, bleep, bleep)!
J James
What do all those words mean?
You're too young to know James. That is what they call real bleeping.
Well. Is this what you have to present for Show and Tell Alasdair?
(Alasdair is standing apparently naked with a black square over his groin)
J Jodie
Kind of a funny color isn't it?
I can't see anything. (to the camera) Get rid of that stupid black band!
(the black square disappears to reveal Alasdair wearing Hawaiian shorts. Vanessa screams)
A Alasdair
Hey, if you think that's neat, wait till you see what else my parents brought back from Hawaii! (puts on a lei.)
Ohhhh. (to the camera) Put the black band back! (the black square reappears) No! I mean on his face! (the black square moves over Alasdair's face.)
[Ross is washing Doug's mouth out with soap.]
What's the matter Alasdair? Are you shy or something?
A Alasdair
No I'm not Doug.
But Alasdair, we're brothers. We've been changing in this room for years.
A Alasdair
Yeah I know Doug, but look at this.
(Alasdair has a black square over his groin)
Oh Alasdair. This censorship stuff is getting ridiculous!
A Alasdair
Yeah, so is having TV CAMERAS IN YOUR BEDROOM!! Well let's get em!
(grabbing a baseball bat) Ok, I'm going for a home run!
Ready? (Swings the bat at the camera)
Where do these things come from anyways?
A Alasdair
Well afterwards they're put on as a special effect.
You mean they're not really here and the people in the studio can see whats underneath them?
A Alasdair
Yep Doug, that's exactly right.
A Alasdair
Yes Doug, they can all see your shorts.
(they step out of the black squares to reveal that they are wearing shorts)
C Coach
[in the locker room] Boys, boys, listen - I've got some bad news for ya. I was at the eye doctor's today, and he tells me I gotta quit coachin'. Yeah, my eyesight is so bad I can hardly see.
A Alasdair
Coach, that's really too bad.
Yeah, I guess that means you're out of a job, right?
C Coach
Are you kidding? I got a new job already. I'm a referee. [takes off his coaching jacket to reveal a referee's shirt on underneath] I'll see ya out on the field... [bumps into the door] ...if I can find the field. [to the door] Come on, buddy, outta the way!
[Alasdair is at the firing squad.]
EC El Capitan
Ready... aim... [Alasdair sticks a card on El Capitan's back] Wait, wait. [To Alasdair] What'd you do? You put a sign on my back. Childish trick, you stuck a sign that probably says "Kick Me"?
EC El Capitan
Alright, we'll find out. Amigos, [walks in front of Alasdair] the sign on my back, what does it say?
[He turns around, revealing the card reads "FIRE".]
A Amigos
"Fire"! [El Capitan gets shot.]
A Alasdair
Shot in the back by his own firing squad.
[Alasdair and Vanessa are looking at mail.]
Well, this fan wants to know what green slime is made of.
A Alasdair
Van, why don't you tell them?
Because I don't kn-- Because, Alasdair, they won't tell us.
A Alasdair
Well, this fan wants to know he we got on the show.
Well, in my case, I did something really bad at school and being on this show was the worst punishment the teacher could think of. How about you?
A Alasdair
Well, Vanessa, actually I thought about it many times, but I don't know how I got on the show.
[Alasdair gets slimed]
I know, Alasdair. They needed someone to keep saying those words to keep getting green slime dumped all over them.
