The Tree Whisperer

Christopher 2 whispers. OR DOES HE? Yes.
== Transcript ==
(open to the Captain's Club; Space Tree's ship screeches to a halt in front of it)
(cut to inside the Captain's Club; Space Tree, Mee, Allon, and the Commander enter)
SPACE TREE: Hey, guys. What's going on-
(enter the Christophers; Chris 2 is still sick)
CHRISTOPHER 1: OK, hold it right there. We're gonna need to see some I.D.
SPACE TREE: What? Since when?
CHRISTOPHER 1: Since now!
SPACE TREE: Oh, so you want to know my age then, huh? Why don't you just cut me open and count my rings? Am I right, guys? You know what I'm saying?
CHRISTOPHER 1: No, a driver's license will do just fine.
MEE: Yeah, Space Tree. You idiot.
(pause; Space Tree then holds up his I.D.)
CHRISTOPHER 1: All right, go right through, please.
(S.T. walks through; Mee holds up his)
CHRISTOPHER 1: Yes, this looks legitimate...
(Mee walks through; Allon holds up his "I.D.")
CHRISTOPHER 1: No problem here...
(Allon walks through; Commander holds up his, but Chris 1 stops him and pushes him past the entrance)
CHRISTOPHER 1: Oop, hold it! I'm afraid a trial membership to the "Unofficial Phillip Horseman Fan Club" isn't going to pass for legal identification.
COMMANDER: Oh, come on, Christopher! You know who I am! Can't you give me a break this one time?
CHRISTOPHER 1: Well, when you put it THAT way... I suppose I could lock the door.
(he pushes a button and the door to the club closes; the Commander peeks through a small window in the door)
COMMANDER: Oh, come on! You let Allon in there, and he's even younger than me!
CHRISTOPHER 1: Well, that may be, but at least he went to the effort of using a fake I.D.!
COMMANDER: Could I at least get my membership card back?
(Mee walks up and nails a board on the window)
CHRISTOPHER 1: OK, gentlemen, what brings you to the Captain's Club today?
SPACE TREE: Well, first things first. What the hell is up with your brother? He looks even worse than last time I saw him. (Chris 2 drools)
MEE: Yeah, maybe he needs another slap.
CHRISTOPHER 1: He's just sick, all right? Let's not get into it.
MEE: Hey, I do happen to be a fake doctor, you know, so, maybe I could examine the patient. (he holds up a scalpel)
CHRISTOPHER 1: You know what? Why don't you examine THIS? (he flips Mee off)
MEE: All right.
(Mee walks up and examines the middle finger with a magnifying glass)
MEE: Oh my god.
CHRISTOPHER 1: What is it?
MEE: Holy f***, this is some f***ing f***ed-up sh**!
SPACE TREE: Meelord, no one wants to hear a bunch of medical jargon. Just tell us in layman's terms what you see.
MEE: Well, I may have to run this down to the fake lab, but, from what I can tell, the only way Christopher 2 can be healed is with some kind of magic box!
SPACE TREE: (now with his pipe) Oh, really. A magic box. Well, that's pretty friggin' creative.
CHRISTOPHER 1: Actually, he's right.
MEE: Shut up, you liar.
CHRISTOPHER 1: I'm not going to get into the boring details, but there did use to be a mysterious-looking cube here that could be very useful to my brother right now. Unfortunately, some hooligan ran off with it sometime last year.
MEE: Well, talk to PinkFrosting88. It was her idea to steal it.
CHRISTOPHER 1: Say what?
(cut to Allon, drinking from the "World's Best Nephew" mug)
ALLON: Hey, Meelord, don't tell him it was PinkFrosting88! That's a breach of the Reginald's code of honor!
MEE: Whatever. Screw her and her stupid trio. PinkFrosting88... more like... StinkFrosting88. Heh. 'Scuse me a second.
(cut to the PinkFrosting88-Mobile, where the phone rings and PF88 answers)
PINKFROSTING88: Hello?
MEE: More like StinkFrosting88! (he hangs up his cell phone) So, yeah, she's the one who stole it.
CHRISTOPHER 1: Well, do you have a phone number where I can reach her?
MEE: No. In fact, I don't even know what a phone is.
(his cell phone rings, and Mee answers)
MEE: Hello?
COMMANDER: Hey, what's going on in there? Anything cool?
MEE: Yeah, I just came up with a new nickname for PinkFrosting88.
COMMANDER: Really? What is it?
MEE: Sorry. You need I.D. to hear it.
(he hangs up on the Commander, now sad)
SPACE TREE: Uh, what's your brother doing now, Christopher?
(cut to Chris 2)
CHRISTOPHER 2: (whispering)
CHRISTOPHER 1: Oh, he's just whispering a bunch of stupid gibberish. He does that sometimes.
(S.T. walks up to Chris 2, and listens to the whispering)
SPACE TREE: It doesn't sound like gibberish to me!
CHRISTOPHER 1: Oh, what is it, then? Some kind of ancient tree language that only you can understand because you're a tree?
SPACE TREE: Maybe it is, Craigy-boy. Maybe it is.
CHRISTOPHER 1: "Craigy-boy"?
(Chris 2 starts to whisper again; S.T.'s next line is talking over it)
SPACE TREE: What's that, Christopher 2? ... You want me to what? ... Well, how many bullets? Hoh-ho, but what about the police, smart guy? ... Oh-ho-ho-ho, you're a sick guy, Christopher 2, you know that? (laughs and sighs; Chris stops whispering) ...But on the other hand, it's a pretty good idea. Christopher 1, I demand permission to borrow your Space Captain Issue shotgun under Space Code Article 46.
CHRISTOPHER 1: My shotgun? I don't have a-
(Space Tree cocks the shotgun)
SPACE TREE: I've just gotta go and, uh, run some errands... down at the store. Yeah.
(Mee's cell phone rings again)
MEE: Hello?
PINKFROSTING88: More like Peelord Marone! Ha ha! (whispering) I hate you!
(another phone rings, and Mee picks up that one, too)
MEE: Hello?
REGINALD: Somebody's got two phones, and it isn't me! Or is it?
(he starts to maniacally laugh, then PinkFrosting88 joins him; soon enough, Mee joins in; after a long bit of this, Allon gets up, leaves the Club, and goes onto Space Tree's ship)
MEE: That's pretty funny.
ALLON: Man, it's probably a good thing you didn't get in, Commander. Everyone was acting really weird in there.
(the Commander slides in, with make-up)
COMMANDER: Well, there'll be nothing like that on this ship, Allon. You're safe now back in good ol' 1955.
ALLON: 1955?!?
COMMANDER: That's right, Allon! 1955!
(he morphs into a different version of himself)
COMMANDER: (in an odd voice) 1955!
(cut back to the Captain's Club, where the phone rings AGAIN; this time, Chris 1 answers)
CHRISTOPHER 1: Hello, Christopher speaking.
SPACE TREE: (covered in blood) Hey, could you put your brother on the phone, please?
CHRISTOPHER 1: All right.
(Chris 1 tries to pass the phone on to Chris 2, but struggles, because he's unable to reach)
CHRISTOPHER 1: Now how in the frig am I supposed to do that?!?
SPACE TREE: Just dislocate your shoulder.
CHRISTOPHER 1: No!
SPACE TREE: Oh, come on. It's easy. I do it all the time!
CHRISTOPHER 1: You don't even HAVE shoulders!
SPACE TREE: I've got ONE.
(cut to a montage of phones hanging up (plus Allon), then cut to Mee dialling a phone number on his cell phone musically; the camera then zooms into the phone, which serves as the end screen)
== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on the hidden snake-shaped button at the upper right of the end screen
=== Easter Egg Transcript ===
(pan down to The Captain's Club)
SPACE TREE: (voice-over) Enough is enough.
(cut to inside the club; Space Tree cocks the shotgun)
SPACE TREE: I've had it with these snakes.
== Goofs ==
* The replay button sends you back to after Commander says "1955" for the last time.
* When the Commander is kicked out he still has his membership card yet he asks for it back.
== Fun Facts ==
* The Commander's ID is another appearance of Philip Seymour Horseman.
*When viewing the .swf flash file, when Mee is about to nail the wall you can see "hahahaha" written outside the border.
* This episode has black bars across the top and bottom of the screen, creating a letterboxing effect.
* According to post on the Space Tree forum by Ed Atlin, this episode is retarded and took too long.
* When Reginald says "and it isn't me/Mee, or is it?" he is referring to the classic me/Mee confusion, in which the first case he is referring to himself as not having 2 phones, and in the second case he is referring to Mee having 2 phones.
* The characters' IDs:

 NAME: Member #08511
 D.O.B: Like 17 years ago
 FAVOURITE PSH MOVIE: "How to Get the Long-Face Man's Foot Outta Your Ass"
* (Note: the word "Favourite" appears as written in the cartoon - in the Australian/British/Canadian spelling, rather than the American spelling which drops the "u." Seeing as Ed Atlin resides in Australia, this would make sense.)
* In Cyber Space, the Commander stated that he was 17. Since Cyber Space was released one year and three months before this episode, the Commander has to be 18 by now. Possible explanations for that are:
** If Space Tree's Ship ran very fast, one could say, that, according to the Theory of Relativity, time went slower while travelling at near light speed.
** Also, there are many examples of other cartoon characters, who don't age at all. (i.e. Calvin and Hobbes)
** Alternatively, it could be assumed that even though it is a week or more between episodes in the real world, that little to no time passes in between episodes in Space Tree world.
=== References ===
* Christopher 2 is still sick as he was Episode 43. Mee's proposal to slap him also refers to that episode.
* The multiple-phones gag was also used in Space e-Girlfriend.
* Commander has, in the past, worn makeup (Kill or Kick) and showed off his beautiful eyes (No Chalk).
*The Horse Whisperer is a 1995 novel by Nicholas Evans, which has been turned into a film in 1998, too. It is about a talented horse trainer who is able to talk/whisper to horses.
* The easter egg refers to the teaser trailer for Snakes on a Plane. Space Tree's dialogue is the same as Samuel L. Jackson's dialogue in the trailer.
* When Commander says "Now you're back in good ol' 1955", it is a reference to the movie Back to the Future, when Marty McFly from 1985 wakes up after being hit by his grandfather's car thinking he's in his own time. A younger version of her mother in 1955 wakes him up and Marty tells her of his "dream". Then his mother says "Now you're safe and sound in the year 1955."
* The song played on Mee's cell phone at the end is "Mary Had a Little Lamb".
* When Space Tree talks about cutting himself open and counting his rings, he is talking about a tree's Growth Rings, which can determine a tree's age.
