{Open to a close-up of a washing machine with clothes tumbling inside. The washing machine has the word "Warsh" on it. Zoom out to a view of Coach Z in a laundromat, standing next to the washing machines and a basket of clothes.}

COACH Z: {Powered by The Cheat voice} Can I borrow some detergent from you, please?

{Peacey P comes over in spinning 2-dimensional form with a basket of clothes, mumbling incoherently.}

COACH Z: Say, wait! Look, it's the rapping man, come to do his landry! I was supposed to ask, can you record {said as RECK-erd} on my new ablum?

PEACEY P: {mumbling while bouncing, his body bounces away to the right while his head floats where it is, then his body slowly slides back in line with his head.}

COACH Z: I can understand well that's the yes! Hit it one-two go rap song!

{Cut to a close-up of a boombox, with a tape in it labeled "Mick's Tape". Hip-hop music starts playing. The credits appear:}

COACH Z: I said accidentally featuring Peacey P!

I'm the lyricbolical Coach-Z,
I like my ointments topical most-ly,
And if you got the itchy toes, then come see me,
I got a rap song, featuring Peacey P!

PEACEY P: My name is P, comma, Peace-ay,
I likes to eat my bacon all grease-ay,
I'm the best guest rapper in the music biz,
I ain't even know whose song this is!

COACH Z: {speaking} It's mine! I thought I made that abundantly clear! {green goo spews from Coach Z's left eye} Here comes the hook!

COACH Z: I'm the rhyme janitor wringin' out my mop!

PEACEY P: Stop, fool, you're crampin' my style!

COACH Z: I'll sprinkle wack MCs with my sawdust pile!

PEACEY P: Listen up straight, y'all biscuitheads,
I'd like a piece o' dry toast wit' two scrambled eggs!
Order o' hash browns, make 'em extra crisps,
A glass o' orange juice an' a bowl o' cheese grits!

COACH Z: {speaking} Oh, dag! That man has just ordered breakfast in the middle of my rap song!

COACH Z AND PEACEY P: R-A-P-S-O-N-G, yes,
Yes, y'all, and we don't flake,

COACH Z: Here comes Tenerence Love with an R&B break!

TENERENCE LOVE: My name is Tenerence Love,
Plus my name is Tenerence Love,
Divided by my name is Tenerence Love,
Equals my name is Tenaaay-erence Love!
Remainder three!

COACH Z AND PEACEY P: R-A-P-S-O-N-G, yes,
Yes, y'all, and we don't stap,
Coach Z and Peacey P cold rappity-rap!

TENERENCE LOVE: {singing backup} Tenerence Love is on a rap song...
...And I'll soon have a rap song...

COACH Z AND PEACEY P: {simultaneously, singing like they're dizzy} R-A-P-S-O-N-G, yes,
Yes, y'all, and we don't stap,
Coach Z, Peacey P.

{The music and cartoon stop. Zoom out to a view of Coach Z and The Cheat in front of The Cheat's computer.}

COACH Z: The Chort, that was amazing! It's gonna rocket straight to the bottom of the BET charts!

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}

COACH Z: Oh, your payment. How's about a nice slice of chin strap pizza? {holds up a pizza slice that has a chin strap on it}

{The Cheat sinks out of view turning a little green, making sick-sounding The Cheat noises.}

{Cut to the boombox again. The level readout display is shaped into the word "END"}
