==Transcript==
Announcer: Get ready for the 67th annual cannonball competition, where competing cannoneers compete to win the cannon trophy! Try saying that three times fast.
(The camera zooms out to reveal that Old Man Jenkins is watching TV)
Jenkins: Nope, I’d just get a brain aneurysm.
(Jenkins’ phone starts ringing. He picks it up)
Jenkins: Yellow.
Cannonball Jenkins: Hey there buddy ol’ pal.
Jenkins: Who is this again?
Cannonball Jenkins: What? You don’t know who I am? (chortles) Why, I’m Cannonball Jenkins!
Jenkins: Oh yeah, the only other Jenkins in town. Shoulda known. Whadda you want?
Cannonball Jenkins: So, the cannonball competition is coming up soon.
Jenkins: Uh-huh, just saw the ad on TV.
Cannonball Jenkins: Looking pretty fly, isn’t it? Say, why don’t you help an old buddy out and get me to… (whispers) space.
Jenkins: (eyes widen) Space? There ain’t no way you gettin’ to space by shooting yourself out of a cannon.
Cannonball Jenkins: Heheh, that’s what they all say. But they won’t be saying nothin’ once I can actually pull it off.
Jenkins: You’re crazy.
Cannonball Jenkins: See for yourself.
Jenkins: Alright, I will.
(Bubble transition to Jenkins at Cannonball Jenkins’ house)
Cannonball Jenkins: Psst, in the garage!
Jenkins: Oh, okay then.
(Cannonball Jenkins opens the garage door to reveal a giant rocket ship-like cannon prototype)
Jenkins: Sweet Neptune! Are you actually building a-
Cannonball Jenkins: Rocket ship cannon? Yep, and it still counts as a cannon for the contest. I checked with the officials.
Jenkins: I-I’m speechless.
Cannonball Jenkins: I expected as much.
Jenkins: Well what are we waiting for? Let’s try it out!
Cannonball Jenkins: Not just yet. There’s still a problem we need to address. That’s why I asked for your help.
Jenkins: What’s the problem?
Cannonball Jenkins: It won’t start.
Jenkins: Well that’s a major problem.
Cannonball Jenkins: Yeah, I know. We need to probably figure out what’s wrong with the engine.
(Cannonball Jenkins punches a compartment of the cannon open to reveal the engine)
Jenkins: Why does a cannon need an engine?
Cannonball Jenkins: Don’t ask questions you’re not prepared for the answer to.
Jenkins: Okay then…
(Cannonball Jenkins pulls a lever to try to start the engine. It briefly revs up, but immediately goes back off. He repeats this a few times before giving up)
Jenkins: Wait a minute, I think I know what to do.
(Jenkins pulls the lever harder. At first it fails, but after a few hard pulls, the engine starts up)
Cannonball Jenkins: Wow, it’s a… whatever holiday it is… miracle! How did you know to do that?
Jenkins: I own a lawnmower.
Cannonball Jenkins: Oh. Silly me. Well then, do you want to try it out?
Jenkins: Nah, you’re the one who built it. I think you should give it a shot first… heheh.
Cannonball Jenkins: Well if you insist.
(He inserts himself into the rocket cannon, and presses a button on the inside of the cannon to begin launching him)
Robot voice: 3… 2… 1…
Jenkins: Wow, it even talks.
Robot voice: Blastoff.
(The cannono blasts Cannonball Jenkins all the way up into the air, but after a few seconds, he quickly comes crashing back to the ground)
Cannonball Jenkins: WOO-HOO! THAT WAS EXHILARATING!
Jenkins: I don’t think it went to space though.
Cannonball Jenkins: Yeah you’re right on that one. Hmm… where could we get enough power to go to space?
Jenkins: I think I know the answer to that.
(Cut to a metal building with a huge logo that says “SASA”, where the Jenkins are looking at it)
Cannonball Jenkins: SASA? What does that even mean?
Jenkins: Hey phone, what does SASA stand for?
Jenkins’ phone: SASA stands for Sea Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Cannonball Jenkins: Neato. Let’s go inside.
Jenkins: Uh, I don’t think they just let anyone go inside there. It’s a government building.
Cannonball Jenkins: People know me as the daredevil, Jenkins, old man. That won’t stop me.
Jenkins: That would explain the rallies nowadays…
Cannonball Jenkins: Correct, my friend. Now, how would I get past this security, you may ask? Well…
(Cannonball Jenkins does a barrel roll towards the building entrance)
Cannonball Jenkins: You just gotta wing it!
Electronic voice: INTRUDER ALERT. SPECIES: FISH. TYPE: ELDERLY MAN.
Cannonball Jenkins: Hey look, it even detects how old I am!
Jenkins: I don’t like the sound of that…
Cannonball Jenkins: Time to get a move on!
Jenkins: I am staying right here.
Cannonball Jenkins: (grabs Jenkins by the hand) No you’re not! You’re coming with me!
Jenkins: Oh Neptune…
Electronic voice: TWO INTRUDERS DETECTED. GET OUT IMMEDIATELY.
Cannonball Jenkins: Hahah, nope.
Jenkins: Dare I ask, what’s your plan here?
Cannonball Jenkins: We just steal one of their power thingies, plain and simple.
Jenkins: Oh. I guess that is plain and simple.
Electronic voice: PLEASE GET OUT IMMEDIATELY.
Cannonball Jenkins: Shut up already! Let’s take a left!
(They take a left)
Guard: HEY! YOU!
Jenkins: (points at CBJ) This was all his idea!
Cannonball Jenkins: Yup!
Guard: Put your hands where I can see ‘em!
(CBJ puts his hands in his pants)
Guard: Well, erm, uh, well…
(The two of them run past the guard as he is in a confused state)
Guard: Dang it, I got distracted. Maybe the security system will get them.
Jenkins: The security system? Didn't we already bypass that?
Cannonball Jenkins: There's a second layer.
Jenkins: (gulps) Second layer?
Electronic voice: INDEED. PREPARE FOR IMPENDING DOOM.
(Suddenly, a bunch of spy movie-like lasers start shooting from various directions)
Cannonball Jenkins: Drat! (points ahead) And the machine we need is right there!
Electronic voice: LOSERS.
Jenkins: Well that's not very nice. 
Cannonball Jenkins: Well to be frank I’m fresh out of ideas. I think you're gonna have to help us out here, Old Man Jenkins.
Jenkins: (sigh) Okay… deep breaths… (takes a deep breath) Here we go!
(Like a ninja, Jenkins dodges all the lasers, narrowly missing a few, and ends up on the other side)
Jenkins: How in Neptune did I do that?
Cannonball Jenkins: I guess you're more nimble than you think you are for your age.
Jenkins: I guess so, but that's not important. (Picks up the heavy machine) I think this is more important.
Cannonball Jenkins: Slide it over!
(Jenkins pushes the machine over to the other side of the room, making it slide along the smooth floor. No lasers are activated)
Jenkins: Security system, schmecurity schmystem.
(Jenkins tries to ninja his way back, but accidentally trips on a laser, causing an alarm to set off and the room to be tinted red)
Jenkins: Fiddlesticks.
Cannonball Jenkins: All we can do now is… run for it! Help me push this machine along!
(Jenkins hurries over to CBJ to help push the machine out of the building. They are almost out of the building when three guards jumó in front of the,)
Guard 1: Freeze, old man! Or… men. I didn't expect there to be two of you.
Guard 2: We ain't moving under any condition!
Cannonball Jenkins: Just ignore them.
Guard 3: I'm always ignored...
(The duo keeps pushing the machine forward, squashing all three of the guards. The machine has now been pushed out of the government building)
Cannonball Jenkins: We did it!
Jenkins: I can't believe I just committed such a heinous crime. I'm a monster.
Cannonball Jenkins: You're not a monster, you helped me! I'd say you're a hero.
Jenkins: Yeah, I guess you're right. And what do we do now?
Cannonball Jenkins: Now we just put the machine into the cannon and all should work perfectly.
(One installation later…)
Announcer: Welcome everyone to the 67th annual cannonball competition! This year will sure be interesting, folks, as longtime competitor known as Cannonball Jenkins has created the first ever space cannon!
Cannonball Jenkins: That's right y'all! I told you I could do it!
(Jenkins is a home watching the show on his couch, eating prune flavored popcorn)
Jenkins: Wait, why am I eating this? I don't even like prunes! (Throws the bowl to the side and spits out the popcorn)
(On the TV screen, CBJ hops into the cannon and activates it. Aftera countdown of three, he is promptly launched into space.)
Astronaut: Hey Pete, you seeing this right now? The guy actually did it!
Astronaut Pete: Wait what the halibut? For real? (looks out window) No way…
Cannonball Jenkins: Suck it, government! (blows raspberry)
