JARO: Once again, I smelled it without a nose.

GRUNDY: How do you do that?

JARO: Well, I just-

CHORCH: {offscreen} Hey guys! Look at this!

{Jaro and Grundy run offscreen. Cut to some front porch. Chorch is staring at a package.}

GRUNDY: Ooh! A package!

JARO: {simultainiously} Ooh! A package!

CHORCH: I’m more worried about where this porch came from. I mean, we’re on a ‘’’boat’’’!

JARO: No time to worry about that! We have a package to open!

{Jaro and Grundy hoist the package offscreen, and Chorch follows.}

{Cut to the living room where the package lies.}

JARO: Grundy gets mail!?

JARO: Who’s it from!?

GRUNDY: My…mom.

JARO: Aw, your mommy loves you!

{Grundy opens the card and reads it.}

GRUNDY: Dear Kevin. I’ve been watching your little friends email show and I’m delighted to see that you’re doing well. It’s so happy to {sniff} see you a star. So I forgive you for not sending me a mothers..day…card…. Love, Mom. {not reading} Oh crap.

JARO: Who doesn’t send their own mom a card!?

GRUNDY: Well, you don’t have a mom, so you don’t know what pressure I’m under!

{Grundy hops into the box and sinks in. When he comes out, he is carrying boxes of chocolate, gifts, and cash.}

GRUNDY: Wow! I hit the jackpot!

CHORCH: Grundy, it’s wrong for you to accept these gifts without even giving your mom a present.

GRUNDY: It’s my mom. Besides, you don’t know her like I do.

CHORCH: Grundy…

GRUNDY: Oh fine. But you’ll see…

{Time passess. Cut to like a week later. The trio’s at the computer.}

CHORCH: “Or else”? What’s with your mom?

GRUNDY: She’s aggressive with gifts. And I never told you guys this, but she hasn’t excepted one from me since that one year…

{Cut to some house. Two orange feet stick out of an aligator, who is in a bear, who is in a shark, who has a snake wrapped around it, and all of them are on fire.}

GRUNDY’S MOM: It’s okay. Just go get the crowbar.

{Cut back to the trio.}

JARO: HOW DID ALL THAT HAPPEN!!?!

GRUNDY: You don’t want to know…

JARO: Oh.
