Transcript
(a foot steps on a bag of Funyuns which moves across the screen to reveal Derrek walking down the street, cut to front view of Derrek)
DERREK: Huh, Banjo City. Why would anyone name an entire city after banjos?
ORVILLE: {walks in} Well son, I can answer that! You see, when the founders of this town moved away from Indianapolis in 1950, they were obsessed with banjos for some reason I do not know. And so they started a town. They were prob'ly insane. And they started a town and they named it Banjo City, even though it has no suburbs and it's twenty miles from all other civilizations.
DERREK: That makes absolutely no sense.
ORVILLE: Don't you sass back at me, you young whippersnapper! {hits Derrek over the head with a banjo}
DERREK: Augh!
(cue intro)
(cut to MacKnox house, doorbell rings)
DERREK: Here comes the welcome wagon!
TOM: {runs through living room, opens door}
ORVILLE: Hello there, neighbors! {holds out hunk of tinfoil} Would you like a plump, Christmas goose?
TOM: Um... Okay... {takes hunk of tinfoil, unwraps it to reveal a potato with "GOOSE" carved into it}
JANICE: Who was it, Tom?
TOM: Oh, just the neighbors, Janice. They gave us a plump Christmas potato.
(cut to dinner table)
DERREK: Uh...
JANICE: Derrek, just eat your goose.
MR. WHISKERS: {walks in, meows}
DERREK: We need to feed Mr. Whiskers.
TOM: {hops out of chair, runs out of the room} I'm going out to look for work now! {opens and closes the door offscreen}
(cut to zoom in of mayor's office, cut to inside)
LEROY: {waves} Hey there, son. Welcome to my workplace! Now son, {points to stapler} this is a stapler.
CHARLES: I know what a stapler is, Dad.
LEROY: Now staplers can be very handy tools or they can cost you the use of your legs. {holds hand up to mouth} Bob, come here and show my son what happened to you in the stapler mishap.
(pan to Bob standing on knees)
BOB: Using me as a means of safety education makes me uncomfortable in my working environment.
(pan back to Leroy)
LEROY: {sighs} I need a new assistant. Things just haven't been the same since your accident, Bob. I wish life were like one of those sitcoms where you say something like, "I need a new assistant," and one just shows up, you know? {sighs} Man, I need a new assistant.
TOM: {opens door} Hi, I'm here to inquire about your "Assistant wanted" sign.
LEROY: {holds out documents} Ooh, fantastic! Sign here, here, here and here!
