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.]

RRobert

This itching is driving me crazy!

AAlasdair

Me too. I wish there were something we could do to get rid of it.

[Enter the Coach, carrying a can of foot powder.]

CCoach

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.]

AAlasdair

OW! This kills!

CCoach

But has the itching stopped?

RRobert

Yes, the itching has stopped, but now our feet hurt from the thorns!

CCoach

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.)

AAlasdair

No.

You don't know?

AAlasdair

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.

AAlasdair

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!

AAlasdair

What do you mean put my hand out?

Alasdair, either you hold out your hand or you say "water".

[Ross gets drenched.]

AAlasdair

Well, Ross, I think you've said it all.

AAlasdair

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.

AAlasdair

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)

JJames

Hey guys, have you seen this neat gizmo? It sure makes a cool bleeping noise.

AAlasdair

(bleep, bleep, bleep)!

JJames

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)

AAlasdair

Yes sir.

JJodie

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)

AAlasdair

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?

AAlasdair

No I'm not Doug.

But Alasdair, we're brothers. We've been changing in this room for years.

AAlasdair

Yeah I know Doug, but look at this.

(Alasdair has a black square over his groin)

Oh Alasdair. This censorship stuff is getting ridiculous!

AAlasdair

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!

AAlasdair

Go now!

Ready? (Swings the bat at the camera)

Where do these things come from anyways?

AAlasdair

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?

AAlasdair

Yep Doug, that's exactly right.

The cameraman? Everyone?

AAlasdair

Yes Doug, they can all see your shorts.

(they step out of the black squares to reveal that they are wearing shorts)

CCoach

[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.

AAlasdair

Coach, that's really too bad.

Yeah, I guess that means you're out of a job, right?

CCoach

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.]

ECEl 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"?

AAlasdair

No.

ECEl 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".]

AAmigos

"Fire"! [El Capitan gets shot.]

AAlasdair

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.

AAlasdair

Van, why don't you tell them?

Because I don't kn-- Because, Alasdair, they won't tell us.

AAlasdair

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?

AAlasdair

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.
