{A closeup of a time clock attached to a telephone pole. A time card is punched in. The words "Weclome Back" are shown, and flash various colors. Pull out to see Bubs holding a cup of coffee, in front of a table with styrofoam cups and an urn, in the Field. Marzipan enters and also punches in.}
BUBS: Well hello, Marzi-person! Welcome back.
MARZIPAN: Well howdy, stranger!
BUBS: Stranger? I'm Bubs, remember?
MARZIPAN: {unimpressed} Uh, I know. It's a joke.
BUBS: That's hilarious. How was your vacation?
MARZIPAN: It was toot-sweet! I took the Cool Tapes on a midwestern tour {the tour map pops up} of bead shops and topiary gardens.
{Cut to a topiary garden; Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing in the band}
MARZIPAN: {singing}
- Cool tapes are cool, and we're better than ever,
- Cool tapes are cool, 'cause we're light as a feather.
- Keep it down with that real cool flavor,
- Me and The Cheat and our bass player.
- Rockin' the spot.
- Yeah, we're rockin' the spot.
MARZIPAN: {something}, and don't forget we've got cool 7-inches for sale over at our merch table.
{Cut to the merchandise table. Homsar is standing on it, it has a sign reading "Merch Masala" and another reading "Steven Inches $π"}
HOMSAR: I'm a little light in the leftovers.
{Homsar's hat flies off the left of the screen, and comes back on from the right and settles on his head. Cut back to Bubs and Marzipan at the coffee table.}
BUBS: I bet you drove the shape-ed plants wild.
MARZIPAN: Yeah, they were way into it. So what did you do?
BUBS: I drove my baloney sandwich truck down to the beach.
{Cut to the tropical island. Bubs's "Baloney Sammich Truck", which resembles an ice-cream truck, doesn't quite fit, and the rear wheels are in the water.}
BUBS:Baloney! Come on, people! Come on, palm tree! {gibberish, ending with} baloney sammich!
{An Atari seagull flies past.}
BUBS: You shut your face!
{Cut back to the coffee table.}
BUBS: I sold exactly zero baloney sandwiches!
MARZIPAN: Well that's great.
BUBS: Yeah, it was pretty much my best summer ever.
