The Sixth Friend/Transcript

[♪ disco beats ♪]

MC: Oh, yeah!

(Rhonda and Customer arguing.)

MC: (Honks airhorn.)

(They stop arguing.)

(MC goes away.)

Customer: I still want my money back!

(Rhonda shuts him up with burger.)

[car horn honks]

MC: Ah!

[airhorn honks]

[car horns honking in rhythm]

[baby crying]

MC: (Makes faces to make baby happy.)

[crying stops]

(MC goes away.)

[cries again]

(MC goes to Landlord's house.)

MC: Yup.

Tom: (Reads letter) Ah! I can't believe this! I am so mad I could just lose it!

Angela: What's wrong, Tom?

Tom: We've been stripped of our title of Friendliest Town In The World!

All: [gasp]

Ben: No, that can't be right! (Turns on TV.)

Reporter: That's right, we've been stripped of our title of Friendliest Town in the World, and people are wondering how the mayor let this happen.

CEO: You blew it, Tom! Ha ha ha… (TV glitches.)

Ginger: Tom, you have to fix this. I can't grow up in a second-best town. My standards are too high now.

Tom: You won't have to. Because we're going to get our number one spot back! We're going to make this town the most easy-to-get-along-with and welcoming place in the world!

All: Yeah!

Tom: Now, let's start by...

(Door opens.) [honk, honk, honk]

MC: Wha-wha-wha-what up, new roomies?

Ben: Roomies? What's going on?

MC: Haven't you heard the word, you nerdy nerd? I live here now!

Tom and Ben: Uh-oh.

♪ Wa-oah! ♪

[♪ hip-hop playing]

Landlord, what is going on here?

Because we do not have room for a new roommate.

Of course you do! Right here.

But that's our storage closet.

Stop complaining! Now you get to hang out all day with a fun and crazy guy!

Oh, yeah!

-Do the dance, MC! -Oh, yeah!

Thanks for letting me crash here while I'm down on my luck!

Rock bottom, y'all!

Yay!

You know, if I want to be mayor of the Friendliest Town again,

I need to lead by example.

We're happy to have you, MC. Or should I say... roomie?

Wow!

Thanks. That means a lot.

-[music blares] -Time for a housewarming p-p-party, y'all!

I thought you hated when things were too loud.

I make an exception when a genius is practicing his craft.

Oh, oh, oh, yeah!

[music blaring]

[rattling]

[pounding]

-[music stops] -Uh?

Ahhh!

[snoring]

-Oh, oh, oh, yeah! -[honk]

-[music blaring] -Aagh!

[rumbling]

[music over speech]

Aagh!

Focus, everyone!

We'll never win back the Friendliest Town title if we can't come up with a plan.

I don't know if you've noticed,

-[truck reversing outside] -but our new roommate is very distracting.

[crash]

What if you pass a law that makes it illegal not to smile and wave at people?

-That'd make us friendlier. -Okay. "Make things illegal."

Someone give me another one.

-Well, you could... Maybe if you... -[crash, bang]

Ahhh! I can't think anymore! I start to talk and then the...

-[crash] -What was I saying?

[roars] Budmigos! I've got some great news!

The mailman delivered the groovy surprise for you funky new friends!

-A-one, a-two, a-one-two-- -Whoa, whoa, take five, buddy!

You see, we actually just got some really sad news.

Oh, no. Is everything okay?

I'm afraid not. Look. We just got a call from the Landlord,

and apparently, he needs that storage closet back right away.

We tried to tell him how much we like having you here

but he said you have to get your stuff out and leave.

Right now.

-[Tom] I'm so sorry, buddy. -Oh.

Well, I knew living here wasn't ever gonna be a forever thing.

Know what I'm saying? [sniffs]

I'll be all right.

And I won't forget the time we spent together.

You guys are always going to be some of the best--

- Hold on, my phone is ringing. -[ringtone]

Yo, MC here.

I-I'm confused. Say that again?

[Landlord] All I'm saying is we should surprise your new roomies

-with a pizza party tonight! -Uh...

[phone off]

Uh... Ha-ha. It's not what you think, MC. We just need to--

We can explain! No. You don't need to explain.

This isn't the first time this has happened.

Something about me pushes people away.

Sorry for annoying you with my frien... friendship.

MC, no! Don't drop that mic!

-No, no, no. -Wait, wait.

No!

[♪ melancholic melody]

Ugh. This is the worst I have ever felt.

I keep thinking I hear his phat beats,

but it's only the depressing beating of my guilty heart.

We acted like the unfriendliest jerks ever. No wonder we're second place.

Actually, we've dropped to third. Wait.

Now it's fourth. And fifth.

You guys ruined the MC's life! What's wrong with you?

We messed up, but only because we were trying to save our town's reputation.

You're so dumb! The MC could have helped you with that!

He's like the friendliest guy in the world!

-Huh. That actually makes sense. -He won't help us now.

He's probably made new friends, better friends that don't stab him in the back.

No, he's not! Didn't you hear where he is?

[school bell rings]

[tap, tap, tap]

[Ginger whispering] He's the book stamper at the school library.

-It doesn't get sadder than that. -[tap, tap, tap]

-[crying] I can't watch! -Stay strong, Hank. I can fix this.

-[Tom] Ha-ha! -Huh?

-Crazy bumping into you here! -A-herm. Ssh.

[quieter] Good to see you! You're looking well.

Oh, hi, Tom. Welcome to the library.

Let me know if you need any books stamped, or uh, you know.

Okay. We treated you wrong, but now I want to help.

How would you like to be the Town Friendliness Ambassador?

Nah. No, thanks. I already got a job.

What, in this crummy place? This isn't you. Everybody loves the old MC!

I don't know. I don't think that's true. My mojo is gone.

I'm sorry, my days of being the MC are behind me.

Now I'm just Maurice Claremont. I don't know why I'm even wearing this anymore.

No! Don't do it!

Please!

-No! -Sssh!

Oh, come on! Hank is reacting to something very dramatic!

-Shh! -Stop shushing us!

Huh. All that shushing almost sounds like a fresh new rhythm.

Shh! Shh! Shh!

Now, Maurice. Come on. Don't-don't-don't talk like that.

You don't care about things like that anymore.

-Ssh. Ssh. Ssh. -I think I have an idea! All right, guys.

-Let's do this! -[all] Yeah!

Come on, boys.

-Ha-ha. -[all beating out a rhythm]

-Stop it! What are you doing to me? -Showing you who you really are! Woo-hoo!

Aw, yeah! We're all here in the library getting our study on!

Woo-hoo!

I knew it! You can't lose your mojo!

So you have to use your mojo as the Town Friendliness Ambassador.

What do you say?

I'm totally in and I'm ready to win!

I'll d-d-d-do it!

[cheers, whistles]

Yeah!

-[cheering] -Woo! Friendliest Town in the World...

again!

We d-d-d-did it, budmigos!

I can't believe we pulled it off.

We made things right with the MC and solved the mayor crisis.

And best of all, we didn't forget to tie up any loose ends!

[all cheer]

MC! I'm ready to get party on!

-Where are you, favorite new tenant? -[maracas rattling]
