Safe Driving in a Blackout
[The episode begins with the gang playing a new game.]

Hank: Ladies 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.

Edward: I hope slow and steady wins the race.

Bert and Ernie: We want to win.

Gordon: Nonesne! I’m the fastest!

Wallace: Gromit, you ready?

Gromit nods his head.

Martin and Chris: Zoboo you ready?

Zoboo: I’m ready!

James: Good Luck! You’ll need it.

Hank: Buckle up and start your engines. The race begins in 3, 2, 1. (Light off the to dark)

Ben: Huh?

All: Oh no! Come on!

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

Zoboo: Is it me or did the power shut down?

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

Edward: Panic!

James: Ahh!

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.

Zoboo: Call the electric company.

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?

Zoboo: Yeah!

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

Bert and Ernie: We think we need a staff meeting.

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?"

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.
