The Contest/Transcript

Safe Driving
(The episode begins with the gang playing a new game.)

Hank: Lady and gentleman! Prepare yourselves for, the greatest video game the world has ever known. Safe Driving 2. No Right Turn On Red.

Ginger: You are all going down!

Tom: No chance, tiny pants.

Ben: (to Tom) I'm gonna use turn signals and hand signals, just to be safe.

Angela: If someone cuts me off in traffic I am gonna stay calm and give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it's an emergency.

Hank: Buckle up and start your engines. The race begins in 3, 2, 1.

(Light turns off)

Ben: Huh?

All: Oh no! Come on!

Hank: Huh? Why's it all dark when my eyes aren't closed?

Ginger: This is a new experience for me and I don't like it!

Tom: Alright, nobody panic. (panicking) Ben, what is going on?!

Ben: Judging from the sudden loss of power, I'd say the power went out.

Angela: Everybody panic!

(Everyone screams except Ben.)

Tom: Wait! We plugged our phones and our computers hours ago. We can use those to entertain ourselves until the power goes back on.

(Ben then turns on a flashlight and goes to their phones. He plugs one off and is surprised.)

Ben: They're all dead!

(Everyone screams again with Hank interrupting.)

Hank: Ben, what's the status of my lava lamp?!

Ben: Also dead.

Hank: Aww.

Ben: And all because someone thought that a lava lamp was more important!

Hank: It would have been so groovy.

(theme song plays)

A Full Mailbox
(Scene cuts outside the garage with the gang using their phones.)

Ginger: Can you believe how boring things were after the power went out last night?

Ben: Seriously. That was the longest twenty-seven minutes of my life.

Hank: I actually had a chance to think and I did not like it.

Tom: You're all just lucky I was able to keep my cool. Without your precious phones, you were all like "Oh noooo, what am I gonna doooo?" (chuckles)

Ben: Tom, that was you!

Angela: Yeah, that's literally like all you said until the power came back on.

Tom: The point is, last night showed that we've become too dependent on technology. Like when's the last time someone actually checked our mailbox?

Hank: Oh, I checked it right before my birthday and right after my birthday.

Angela: Yeah, I don't live here.

Ben: I get all my mail online.

Tom: Really? Well, then who is all that for? (mailbox is overflowing and bulging)

(transition)

Tom: Okay, no sudden movement, everybody stand back, I am approaching the mailbox. (takes one letter, the mailbox bursts open) This is all junk mail!

Ben: It's not all junk. (takes a letter) Here's a letter addressed to Tom and Ben Enterprises from Unpopular Science Magazine.

Angela, Hank and Ginger: Whoa! What is it?

Tom: That's been the most popular tech magazine since people read magazines. (opens letter) Let me see... Dear entrepreneur, we blah, blah, blah, blah... so therefore, Un-Popular Science would like to honor your contributions to the tech world by inviting you to visit our headquarters on Floppy Disc Island! (everyone cheers) Wait, oh no... they only sent one ticket.
