Friends Forever/Transcript

(The friends are in the garage.)

Tom: Guys, I'd say our first annual Indoor Fun Day was a huge success.

Hank: It sure was. I'm glad the Landlord sprayed all those chemicals on the lawn so we couldn't go outside.

(Scene cuts to the front lawn. A fly falls after smelling the lawn.)

Tom: Well, look at this. Angela's even set up an arts and crafts table.

Angela: I made friendship bracelets. See, the different threads represent the, um... different colors of friendship!

Tom: Angela, I don't ever exaggerate. But these are mind-blowing.

Angela: Oh, well, do you want one?

Tom: Do I? Ha! I mean, you know, if you happen to have a-an extra one, yeah, sure, I'll take it off your hands.

(Tom puts on the bracelet. The bracelet glows.)

Bracelet: Awesome!

Angela: There! Now we have matching friendship bracelets so everyone will know we're friends! But remember, you can't remove it. You have to let the bracelet fall off on its own.

Tom: What happens if I take it off?

Angela: I think technically, that means we won't be friends anymore.

Tom: (gasps) No!

Angela: Anyways, I've got to get home. Hey, do you think the lawn is safe yet?

Ben: Hm, maybe if you hold your breath?

Angela: (inhales deeply) Okay, thanks, bye!

(Angela opens the door and runs out, still holding her breath.)

Angela: Not breathing, not breathing!

(scene cuts to Tom's bracelet glowing)

Tom: I'll never take you off.

(Ginger sneaks behind Tom and pushes him. Tom falls on a skateboard, which goes flying.)

Ginger: Got you!

(The skateboard hits Tom.)

Tom: Ow, Ginger!

Ginger: Man, you weren't even trying to dodge me.

(theme song plays)

(Hank is chasing Ginger.)

Ginger: Oh, you missed me!

Hank: Ginger, slow down or I won't be able to catch you.

Ginger: That's the point. I'm the most excellent player of every indoor game there is! From indoor tag to indoor catch-

(Hank tackles Ginger)

Hank: Yah! Tag, you're it.

Ginger: No fair! I was giving a speech. That doesn't count.

(scene cuts to Ben)

Ben: Indoor Fun Day will now conclude with a traditional game of hide and seek. Though it's not exactly a tradition since it's the first Indoor Fun Day. But I'll allow it.

Hank: Gotta start somewhere, right?

Ginger: You guys are going down!

Ben: Now I've developed a completely fair method to decide who's it. All we need is a spoon, fishing line, a number of hooks-

Ginger: Last one to touch his nose is it!

(All except Tom touches their noses.)

Tom: Last one what?

Ginger: Tom's it! Everybody scatter!

Tom: Hold on, I wasn't ready! Oh, all right.

Hank: See ya, wouldn't want to be ya!

Ben: (laughs) We're outta here!

(scene cuts to Tom counting)

Tom: One, Mississippi, two, Mississippi, three, Albuquerque...

(Tom stops counting and searches a stack of boxes.)

Tom: Ben, always hiding by your work! (lifts top box, revealing only a teddy bear.) Oh, uh, alright.

(Tom walks to the living room.)

Tom: If I was Hank, where would I be? (looks at couch cushions) Hank, I'm onto you! (swipes away cushions, revealing nothing) Hm, so no one's decided to hide in the most obvious places. Well, I like a challenge. (sticks his hand into the couch) Alright guys, come out, come out, wherever you a-

(Tom's bracelet gets stuck in the couch springs. Tom tries pulling, but to no avail.)

Tom: Uh, oh, this is not good. Guys, uh, time out, real quick, okay? I need some help here!

(scene cuts to Hank in the bathroom)

Tom: Hey! I'm stuck!

Hank: Oh, come on, Tom, I'm not going to fall for the oldest trick in the book.

Tom: I know this seems like the oldest trick in the book, but my arm is actually stuck in the couch!

Hank: Do you really need help? Or when you said this wasn't a trick, was it a trick?

Tom: No, it's not a trick!

Hank: Okay, but what about a double trick?

Tom: And it's not a double trick that I said it wasn't a trick.

Hank: Alright, I'm coming out to help, but this doesn't count as you finding me!

(Hank tries to open the bathroom door, but the doorknob breaks off.)

Hank: Uh, oh.

Tom: Did you say uh-oh?

Hank: I'm stuck in the bathroom! Just like the last time I was stuck in the bathroom, remember that? Hey, can you come in and get me?

Tom: No, Hank, I'm stuck too, remember? Ben!

Hank: Ben!

(scene cuts to Ben in cardboard box)

Tom: Ben, where are you?

Hank: Ben!

Ben: No- this is the perfect place- fine.

Tom: Hey, that was you. Good hiding.

Ben: Yes. Fortunately, you rarely give things a closer look.

Tom: Well, maybe not so fortunately, because me and Hank are both stuck.

Ben: Hank, where were you even planning on hiding in there?

Hank: Not sure, but hide and seek makes me nervous, and when I'm nervous I have to go.

(Ben sighs, then picks up the doorknob and tries to jam the knob back in.)

Ben: Ngh, this is really jammed! I don't know how you pulled the doorknob off so easily.

Hank: It's like I suddenly had super strength. Stand back, I'm going to try something.

(Ben stands back. Hank tries to run into the door to open it.)

Hank: Never mind.

Ben: Hmm, some internal piece must have worn down. No worry, I'll just get a spare doorknob from spare doorknob storage.

(Ben walks to the storage room.)

Ben: Let's see, the Polished Elegance, the Emerald Turner, ah, there we go. (takes out a box of doorknobs, takes one knob out) A good old bathroom spare.

(Ben pushes the box back into the shelf, but this causes the door to close.)

Tom: Wait- don't let the door- (the door closes) close.

Ben: Uh-oh. Tom, why isn't there a handle on the inside of the storage room?

Tom: I took it off.

Ben: And why did you take it off?

Tom: Because I trapped that thing in there that one time.

Ben: What thing?

Tom: Don't worry, it probably went away, but yeah, you can't open the storage room from the inside.
