Smash the Trash/Transcript

* The episode begins on a windy day. In the studio, Tom and the gang are laying down in the living room.*

Tom: Yikes, it is rough out there. Good thing we have nothing to do and nowwhere to be. Ha! Lazy Monday, baby!

Angela: Yep! It's the best holiday-we-made-up of the year.

Ben: You know, I'm uncomfortable putting off work. But, if you're following my 10 steps of relaxation...

Tom: Oh, boy.

Ben: It can improve your brainpower.

Ginger: (groans) Way to make being lazy sound like a chore, Ben.

Ben: I'm just saying, I'm coming around to the idea that taking a day off won't cause some massive disaster! *crash sound* Huh?

Landlord: Holy raviolis!

Hank: Uh-oh.

Landlord: What happened to this place? *steps on a bucket* It looks like it went upside down and downside up again!

Tom: I can explain. It's Lazy Monday, so we can't do "chores" or "jobs" or anything. But you know, tomorrow...

Landlord: Don't talk to me about tomorrow! A guy from Impressive Landlord Monthly is coming today to take pictures of this place!

Tom: Hmm....

Landlord: That's why I loaned you...

* The grandfather clock tips over.*

Landlord: My priceless antique grandfather clock! This is supposed to be the piece that fancies up the whole garage! You loafers better clean all this before the photo man arrives. Or you're out of here...for good!

* The five gasp. The theme song plays.*

Hank: Ohh.

Tom: This goes against everything Lazy Monday stands for! Sitting and lying down, and never standing!

Ben: "Lazy Monday" is over! Now, come on! The Landlord will evict us if we don't start cleaning!

Ginger: Don't turn your back on everything we believe in. You must have some techno-vention that can help us.

* Tom and Ginger make puppy eyes to persuade Ben.*

Ben: Ginger, being lazy is not everything I believe in. Huh?

* Angela and Hank join in.*

Ginger: Ben! Come on.

Ben: Hmm...okay, fine.

Other four: Huh?

* Ben shoves a machine into the room, creaking as it is pushed*

Ben: This! This is the Flat Jack. I created it so students could fit more books in their backpacks. But, it can also compress this mess. Let's observe.

* Ben uses the canoe on the Flat Jack, much to the gang's amazement.*

Tom: Whoa! Okay, this is awesome. If we use this, we can stack the whole mess like a pile of paper! Easy as pie.

Ben: Not quite. We need to create a system to organize this place like a big filing cabinet.

Ginger: Boring! Let's smash the trash!

* Ginger uses the basketball on the Flat Jack.*

Angela: (laughs) Nice!

* The gang use more stuff on the Flat Jack.*

Hank: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Let me try!

* Hank uses a piece of paper on the Flat Jack, but it comes out just paper.*

Hank: Oh.

Ben: Hold on! We have to be efficient about our cleaning.

Tom: Good point. If we just stuff everything in there at once, we can finish right away and get back to our lazy holiday! Come on!

Ben: Oh, no...

Hank: Great idea, you guys.

* The other gang use more stuff on the Flat Jack.*

Ben: Aww! Stop! It's not meant to handle all that at once! You'll overload the machine!

* The alarm blares. A big explosion is inside the studio. The gang are now turned into thin sheet of paper, including the studio.*

Tom: What is going on?

Angela: Oh, no! I'm missing my sideways!

Ben: We all are! You boneheads wouldn't stop being lazy around dangerous technology, and now you've flattened the entire room!

Tom: Yeah, this is weird. But look on the bright side.

* Angela and Hank float down*

Angela and Hank: Huh?

Tom: Everything is flat. So, we can push this mess into a pile and be done cleaning.

* Tom does as he says*

Hank: Whoo! It's a Lazy Monday miracle! Plus, while we're flat, there are even more options for lounging.

* Hank lays on top of the ceiling. The other three do what he does.*

Ben: You're still going to goof off?!

Tom: Why not? We have tons of time now.

* The window opens, and the wind blows the gang into a tornado, including the clock.*

Tom: Save that clock! If we lose it, the Landlord will never forgive us!

* Ginger grabs the clock.*

Ginger: Help! My body thinks it's a kite!

Hank: Gotcha, Ginger!

* The five hold on to avoid the wind.*

Tom: Ben, pull us back in!

Ben: It's too dangerous. Let go of the clock before it drags you outside!

Tom: But then, we'll get evicted! You should have warned us this could have happened with your machine.

Ben: (stammers) What?! I did! But you wouldn't give up on your made-up holiday.

* The wind blows the other four outside.*

Ben: Oh no! Ugh! My machine! I need to reverse this... *gets blown away as well* No, no, no!

* Tom, Hank, Angela, and Ginger are blown into a billboard.*

Tom: We're getting evicted, aren't we?

Angela: Maybe not. I-I see the clock! We just have to get down to it!

* The four struggle to move themselves.*

Ginger: This is too hard! Ben, do you have another invention to fix this mess? Where's Ben?

Tom: The wind must've carried him in a different direction.

Angela: (gasps) Oh, no.

Tom: Sorry, guys. Our day of doing nothing has turned into a disaster.

Angela: Man, Lazy Monday was going so well! Remember when Hank lazily got rid of that piece of bologna earlier today?

Hank: Do I!? That was a proud moment in not getting off my butt.

* Flashback to that moment*

Hank: Huh?

* Hank finds bologna underneath him and throws it away, it lands on the wall and slides down to the bin*

* Flashback ends*

Tom: Well that won't get us down to- Wait. Maybe it will! Let's be like bologna and catch that clock!

* Tom flips over, going further down. The others do the same until they get off*

* Ben gets out of a waste receptacle*

Ben: Ugh!

* Ben gets out a recorder*

Ben: Science diary, chapter 82. Being flattened is going to take some getting used to. Movement is far more difficult this way.

* Ben realises he was talking into paper shoe and, disgusted, he throws it away*

* Ben rests his head on the waste receptacle and then looks up*

Ben: Hm?

* As the paper shoe floats around, Ben visions multiple equations on how the paper shoe moves*

Ben: Ha!

* Ben pulls out a notebook and pen*

Ben: Math, you've done it again!

* Ben begins taking notes*

* The gang splat on the street*

Ginger: Look!

* Ginger's face splats on the path*

Ginger: There's too much wind!

Hank: I know!

* A woman yells*

Hank: Wha- Hey, Ginger! Remember this morning when Tom asked you to pass him that take-out menu?

* Flashbacks to that moment*

* Ginger struggles to reach the menu without getting up so he blows it over to Tom*

Tom: Huh.

* End of Flashback*

Ginger: Laziness, you've done it again!

* The gang roll ahead but quickly stop at the end of the road before cars go by*

Hank: Um, how are we going to cross the street without getting flattened?

Ginger: Hmm. Remember when we all lazily decided to play old video games?

* Flashbacks to that moment*

* Tom is playing a "Crossy Road"-like game*

* Tom, Hank, and Ginger cross the road and avoid the cars like in the video game*

* Angela struggles to do so and jumps at the last moment*

Tom: No!

* Angela floats down unharmed*

Angela: Yeah! I'm okay!

* The others sigh in relief*

* Tom grabs the clock*

Tom: Now, let's get back to the garage before the Landlord gets there. Let's get lazy!

* The gang roll to the road opposite the garage avoiding obstacles*

Tom: We're home! Soon, we'll be-

* The gang see a chainsaw*

Tom: Oh.

* Multiple objects are shown in red lighting such as a rake, a leaf blower, and a hose*

Angela: The Landlord must have hired a yard crew for the photo shoot.

Ginger: Why is the world so dangerous?!

Ben: That's a question I ask a lot.

* Ben lands safely on the ground.*

Ginger: Whoa!

Angela: How did you learn to move like that?

Ben: I calculated flat physics. Hoop!
