Screen and music fade in. Smo and Gro are chillin' outside the studio.
Gro: Check that one out. Smo: Yea, check out the guy with her. I bet he's a jerk. Gro: For real. Did you see him checking out that other chick? Smo: Yea I would be, too. Just look at her. Gro: Man what about her? She's cute, get her attention. Smo waves girl over to them. Gro: Hey there, what's your name? Girl: That doesn't matter as much as my question. Gro: What's that? Girl: What kind of car do you drive because you're not gonna pick me up looking like you do without a nice car. Gro: You know what, you might just wanna step on then. Girl begins walking off. Smo: (Mutters something under his breath) Girl: (Turns around) What did you say? Smo: Huh?! Oh, I said I've got to pitch in today's game. Girl: That better be what you said. (Walks off) Gro: Right on man!! Smo: I'll gladly hand her over to the jerks. Gro: Why do girls have to be so stuck up these days man? Smo: They're not stuck up, just confused and lost. They just need to realize that the nice guys are where it's at. We know how to be romantic, be compassionate and understanding, and always be there when a girl needs something, but they just won't give us a chance. It's rather sad and, of course, we have to suffer for it while they're off having a good time and giving the guys that don't deserve it, the attention we're looking for. Gro: Why can't there be more girls like Russanna, Liza, Kelsy, and Jill to go around? Smo: Yea really, man. I mean they all have good heads on their shoulders. (Ponders a moment) Ok, maybe not, but they're better than that stupid (cough) that just walked up here and gave you the line about having a nice car. Gro: Oh well, anyway, check out this one coming up the street. Smo: Whoa! (Rubs his eyes) Dang, man. What part of heaven did she fall out of? Gro: I dunno bro but I'm not gonna get too attached. I know what'll happen. Smo: You've go to learn to detach and just have fun. Gro: I tell ya what man...(Stands up as if he's about to wave the girl over) Girl: Hey guys mind if I hang for a bit? Smo and Gro are dazed. Gro You wanna what?! Smo: Huh? Girl: Do you mind if I hang around for a little while? Smo: Sure. We don't mind. Gro: Uhm are you feeling ok. Girl: Yea, fine. Why? Smo: Have you ever heard of NGFL? Gro: Right, this never happens. Girl: NGFL? (Ponders for a moment) Oh yea, that show where those guys go on and on about nice guys finishing last. Smo: Yea, that's it. We're those two guys. Gro slaps Smo in the back of the head. Gro: Wait to go, slick! Girl: Oh really, wow, I never imagined I would come to you guys to get help. Smo: Help with what? Girl: I have a flat tire and I need to find a place to get it fixed. Gro: (Talking to himself) Dang it! I really thought she wanted to hang out with us. Smo: Uhhh, well I suppose we could help. We don't have anything better to do. Smo, Gro, and the Girl walk down the street to a service station. Attendant: Can I help you all? (Checks the girl out) Or can I just help you? Smo: Back off. She has a flat tire and needs to get it fixed ASAP. Attendant: Well, all my men are busy right now. Smo: Well if you give us the tire I can fix it. Attendant: Ok, what kind of vehicle is it? Girl answers all the attendants questions. The attendant then goes and gets the tire. Attendant: That'll be $120.86 Girl: Oh, I don't have any money on me. I left my purse in the car. Smo: Geez! Do you drive a hummer or something?! I think I can handle the costs if you'll pay me back. Girl: Sure, no problem. Gro: (Very doubtful about all that's taking place) Smo, that's a lot of money. Smo: It's ok man, I trust her to pay me back. Gro: Ok, it's your money. As they walk back to her car, the girl begins flirting with Smo. Poor Gro trails behind. Gro: (Wide-eyed and smiling) Heh, heh. Who ever said following was a bad thing? The three return to the vehicle. Smo hands Gro the tire while he and the girl continue to flirt. Gro: Oh, I see how it is. Like always, at least I got a fourth wheel this time. Gro begins changing the tire. He gets the tire on the wheel and begins titghtening the lug nuts when the jack suddenly slips and the tire flies off and begins rolling down the hill. In the process Gro got knocked back by the tire and is lying on the sidewalk. Smo: Hey stop that tire! (Begins running after the runaway wheel) Gro: That's my fourth wheel! (Takes off after Smo and the tire) While Smo and Gro are running after the tire, a car pulls up beside the girl. Guy in car: Hey, you need some help? Girl: (Looks at car, then at Smo and Gro chasing the tire) Sure. The girl gets in the car with the guy and they drive off. Meanwhile, back to the chase. Smo and Gro are still pursuing the tire. Flying through busy intersections and construction sites, the tire just won't stop. And for some stupid reason, neither will Smo and Gro. Smo: (Breathing heavily) That's a $120 I could have spent on something else. Gro: (Breathing heavily) The one time I get a fourth wheel, it jumps up and leaves me. Smo and Gro run for a little while longer and finally they get some sense and stop chasing the tire. The turn around and walk back up to the girl. Smo: Where did she go? She owes me quite a bit of mula. Gro: Yea and I owe her for that workout, sheesh, what a run. I jumped three dogs, a buick and little old lady. You would have thought that when it hit her she'd have stopped it but no she just let it roll over the top of her. Gro continues to rave while Smo sits on the sidewalk. Smo: One hundred and twenty dollars, down the drain. Toilet flushing is heard. Gro: (Continuing on raving. Oblivious to Smo) She better get back here or I'll.... Smo: (Begins crying) One hundred and twenty dollars and every bit of pride I ever had. There's no hope for me now. What am I going to do? What am I going to do? Gro: You're gonna shut up before I rip you a new one. Smo: If you lost $120, you'd be whining, too. Gro: Yea so what. The girl and the guy pull back up to where her car is. He gets out, with a new tire, and fixes her car. She gives him a kiss as they get ready to depart. Girl: See you later tonight? Guy: You sure will. (Winks at the girl) Smo: Whoa! Whoa! Where do you think you're going? You owe me some money. Girl: I'm sorry, I'm broke. Sucker! Smo: Broke?! I'll show you broke. Guy: Hey buddy you watch or it I'm gonna... Guy looks over to see Gro in the passenger seat with the tire iron. Gro: You're gonna what??? Guy: Uhm nothing I think what that girl did was awful, and I'm just gonna leave now. If you'll get out of my car please, sir? Gro slowly gets out. By the time the door shuts, the car has taken off. While all this was going the on, the girl had run and jumped in her car. She starts it up and begins driving off. In a desperate attemtpt to get his money, Smo jumps onto the car and hangs for dear life. The girl gets up to high speeds, and tries several manuevers to throw Smo. Luckily, he's still hanging on. Smo: AHHHHHH!!! What the heck was I thinking!?! Smo's hands begin getting tired. He's struggling for his life as the girl continues to try and throw him off. As if suddenly deciding she's had enough the girl stops the car. Smo goes flying through the air and lands in a dumpster located in a small alley. Gro: Ouch that's rough. The girl speeds off. Just as it appears she's getting away, she slams right into the rear of a manure truck. Gro: Ouch looks like she's the one who got dumped on this time. (Laughs) Smo: (still dazed) Huh what...uh...I got a headache. Gro: Don't worry man, looks like you'll be getting your cash back. Smo and Gro head back to the stoop where they started the show. Smo: Hey she's cu.... Gro: Shut up! Look what that got us to begin with. Well, now that you mention it... Screen fades to black. |
