Smash the Trash/Transcript


 * The episode begins on a windy day. At the studio, Tom and the gang are lazy in their rooms.*

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! *hears a 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: Hmmm....

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

* The grandfather clock tips over.*

Landlord: My pricless 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 on Ben.*

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

* Angela and Hank join in.*

Ginger: Come on.

Ben: Hmm...okay, fine.

Other four: Huh?

* Ben brings a flattening machine.*

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

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