Transcript

{Nebulon and a pink Astromund, Bruno, are sitting in front of the Neby.}

BRUNO: 'Sup, Nebs?

NEBULON: Oh, I was just thinking of checking my email.

BRUNO: Sounds a'ight. Well, let's check it out.

I like your style Nebulon!
In fact, I built you a new base for you on the center
of the sun!
-NachoMan
P.S. The sun isn't as hot as you think it is.
It is actually quite cold.

NEBULON: He likes my style!

BRUNO: I wonder if he likes mine?

NEBULON: {laughing} Bruno, no one likes your style. {typing} Well, NachoGuy, I have to say I'm honored. This place is a little cramped. I mean, everywhere you go you end up getting voip'd by a Piedmont or shot by Bruno.

BRUNO: Good times!

NEBULON: So, Mr. Nacho, I will visit this base. I need a vacation home, anyway.

AN ICE MACHINE: {offscreen} He's lying, you know.

NEBULON: Show yourself!

{An Ice Machine flies in on a small spacecraft made of ice.}

AN ICE MACHINE: NachoMan wants you to be killed, Nebulon. French toast. One of those black marshmallows no one likes except those crazy people that eat burned stuff.

NEBULON: Oh, I see how it is.

AN ICE MACHINE: Oh, good, well may--

NEBULON: You just can't believe that anyone that likes my style could be serious about anything, huh Icey? Well, I'll tell you something, my style is very avant-garde. You see, designers in Spain--

{An Ice Machine flies away, breaking one of Nebulon's windows.}

NEBULON: --raincoats, which are very, very comfortable, especially when it's raining... where is he?

BRUNO: Oh, he flew away. {pause} In the direction of the sun!

NEBULON: That crafty little machine! Get the Nebumobile, Bruno, we're on a mission!

{A spaceship with Nebulon's color scheme rises from the floor.}

BRUNO: I've always wanted to do that.

NEBULON: Hurry, get in, and set the controls for the heart of the sun. We've got a rogue machine to catch!

BRUNO: I don't really want to be seen in this. Sorry, but I'm out.

NEBULON: Fine, I'll deal with my own problems. But just you wait until there's a problem that can't be solved by shooting someone!

BRUNO: I'll be waiting a while!

NEBULON: Well, just see if I wait!

{Nebulon takes off. "6 hours later" appears on the screen. The Sun appears directly in front of Nebulon.}

NEBULON: I think I've passed that icy machine of hate. I haven't seen him for a while.

{Nebulon drives directly into the sun. A flash of bright light appears, and Nebulon's ship is seen burning. Then it stops, and a large base appears directly in front of Nebulon.}

NEBULON: I love these cool ship effects!

{The spaceship docks, and Nebulon begins to walk up to the base. A Stothos appears.}

STOTHOS: Freeze!

NEBULON: Oh dear.

STOTHOS: Did you get that? You see, I work for An Ice Machine, and he's like an ice guy, and ice is frozen, so--

NEBULON: Yeah, I get it. So are you going to stop me?

STOTHOS: Well, if you continue, I have to. By law. Sorry about that.

NEBULON: 'Kay. I'm just going to go back to my ship, but you have to close your eyes. Okay?

STOTHOS: Actually, I don't have eyes, so I'm just going to rely on the honor system. You are going back to the ship, right?

NEBULON: Ah, yes. {He procedes into the base.}

BRODY: {offscreen} Well, this is a nice place, but it's a little too cramped for me. How about I give you a call?

AN ICE MACHINE: {offscreen} Sounds good. Here's my number.

BRODY: {offscreen} I'll get back to you.

{After a brief pause, a yellow ball rolls quickly from the stairs.}

BRODY: {rolling} Hey, Nebulon!

NEBULON: {yelling} Try to sell my property, will you?

{An Ice Machine comes down from the stairs.}

AN ICE MACHINE: Well, sure! I'll tell you something: this base here is the cornerstone of real estate in the galaxy.

NEBULON: Yes, well, it's my property and I'll sell it myself.

AN ICE MACHINE: Stop for just one second and think. Not many people think the sun is as cool as this, do they?

NEBULON: Uh, well, no, but--

AN ICE MACHINE: And you could grow anything here, right? All day sunlight?

NEBULON: Well, I-- Brody is a farmer?

AN ICE MACHINE: It takes a lot of corn to feed thousands of chickens. Anyway, seeing as you don't know a thing about real estate--

NEBULON: I do too! You sell houses for less then they're worth, and smile a lot.

AN ICE MACHINE: Tell you what: I'll sell for thirty thousand galactabucks. That's a third of the value. {smiles}

NEBULON: I have to buy my own property back?

AN ICE MACHINE: Well, yeah. I mean, finders keepers, right?

NEBULON: Fine. Here's my credit card.

{He hands it to An Ice Machine.}

AN ICE MACHINE: Oh, don't worry Nebulon. I'll be very mature with this.

{An Ice Machine leaves.}

NEBULON: Ha ha ha! Silly An Ice Machine. What he doesn't know is that there's only one thousand galactabucks left on that card! Now let's get down to business.

{Nebulon picks up a cell phone on the table. He dials a number.}

THE LIEKAND: {through phone} Hello?

NEBULON: Hello, Mr. Liekand. Did you know that for just ninety thousand galactabucks, you can buy a base in the middle of the sun?

THE LIEKAND: {through phone} Sure. And I suppose I can tan on Neptune, too. Or, uh, tan at all seeing as I don't have skin.

NEBULON: Oh, you won't want to miss this offer. I'll knock it down to a clean fifty thousand.

THE LIEKAND: {through phone} I'm not going to do this. I have a base already, in case you didn't know. And it's actually, ah, good. Unlike yours.

NEBULON: Thirty five thousand.

{Fade out, then fade in.}

NEBULON: Five pennies.

THE LIEKAND: {through phone} Fine. I will take this base off your hands if you want to get rid of it so badly.

NEBULON: Good doing business with you, good friend! Welcome to the family!

THE LIEKAND: {through phone} Whatever.

{Hanging up noise. An Ice Machine appears.}

AN ICE MACHINE: Nebulon, I'm having a little trouble with your card he--

NEBULON: Oh really? Interesting.

AN ICE MACHINE: Well, I'm sure we can work this out real quickly--

{Nebulon roars, loudly. An Ice Machine is blown back.}

AN ICE MACHINE: Nebulon, this is very antisocial behavior, I'll have you know!

{Nebulon jumps into An Ice Machine's spaceship, and takes off, breaking through the front door.}

NEBULON: How do you like that, Lice Machine? Ah ha ha ha!

{Cut to Nebulon and Bruno, sitting at the Neby.}

NEBULON: ...and that's how I learned about how real estate is never profitable.

BRUNO: And the Sun is a bad real estate loctation.

NEBULON: That too. {typing} Well, NatchoGuy, thanks for the base. Too bad I couldn't hang out in it, but when real estate calls, Nebulon must be there. I think The Liekand will like it, though. It's got a nice view. He could be a real solar wind! Well, until next time, I'm Nebulon, this is my email show, and give me all the gifts you want!

{The Paper falls, saying "Email Nebulon at nebymail@nebulon.com!"}
