Timebomb

Space Tree and the gang adjust to life on their new ship.
== Transcript ==
{Open to the new ship, floating through space}
SPACE TREE: {Offscreen} Yeah, we got this ship, a few days ago. {Cut to Space Tree, inside the ship, standing behind a desk. On the desk is a name plaque with "I AM SPACE TREE" on it, and a mug that says "World's Greatest Grandpa".} The Commander thinks it looks like a tree, but I don't really see the resemblance.
{Cut to Space Tree beside a desk. Pinkfrosting is standing on the opposite side.}
PINKFROSTING: It does look kinda like a pine tree, or something--
SPACE TREE: --No, it doesn't.
PINKFROSTING: ...it looks like more of a tree than you do--
SPACE TREE: --Ok, you know what? Pinkfrosting? I'm the captain of this ship! And when you're on my ship, you follow my captain rules! I'm not the one who sucked your ship into a portal.
PINKFROSTING: Yeah, and I'm not the one who blew up your old ship. In fact, I'm the one who saved you.
SPACE TREE: Yeah, well, you didn't even do it on purpose.
{Allon pops up in the foreground, facing away}
ALLON: Hey, guys, what's goin' on?
SPACE TREE: {Looking at Allon} Nothing!
{Cut to reverse shot. Allon is now in the back, while Pinkfrosting and Space Tree are in the foreground.}
ALLON: H'oh, am I...interrupting something? Heh heh...heh...just kidding.
{Cut to Pinkfrosting.}
PINKFROSTING: What do you want, Allon?
{Cut back to Allon}
ALLON: Well, I just made you guys some of these {holds up a couple of cups} apple-flavored milkshakes. {Puts down the milkshakes.}And I just wanted to say that...I think it's really cool that you're moving into this ship, Pinkfrosting.
{Pinkfrosting comes around to Allon's side of the table and puts her tentacle on his shoulder. Pan over to her and Allon.}
PINKFROSTING: Hey, Allon, don't you agree that I should actually be the captain of this ship?
ALLON: Uhhh, what?
{Cut to Space Tree, behind the desk.}
SPACE TREE: No, he doesn't, so don't even try filling his mind with your mutinous propaganda.
{Cut back to Pinkfrosting and Allon}
PINKFROSTING: Hey, he can speak for himself...tell 'im, Allon - who's the better captain?
{Pan over to Allon's left. Space Tree is now standing there with a limb on Allon's other shoulder.}
SPACE TREE: Yeah, tell her, Allon - who's the better captain?
{Pan back to Pinkfrosting}
PINKFROSTING: I love you like a nephew, Allon.
{Pan back to Space Tree}
SPACE TREE: Well, I love you like a niece.
{Slow zoom out to fit all three.}
ALLON: Uh...well, the answer to that question...is, um, uh... {Runs to the right, panting. Cut to a window. Allon runs up and jumps through it.}
{Cut to Reginald, now with a white body with a blue "R" on the chest, and Tahoma standing <somewhere>. The "Channel J" logo is in the bottom right corner.}
REGINALD: That's right. You see, on most talk shows, the host sits behind a desk, {Closer Shot of Reginald.} but on my show, {A pink label with Reginald Reginald "The Reginald Hour" slides in from the left.} the audience members all sit behind desks, {The label goes out with a pop.} and I sit inside of a cannon.
{Cut to Tahoma}
TAHOMA: Interesting. {A pink label with Tahoma Fresh "Channel J New" slides in from the left.} And how did you happen to get this job, hosting "The Reginald Hour"? {The label goes out with a pop}
{Cut back to Reginald and Tahoma.}
REGINALD: Well, actually, it's a pretty funny story. {Start zooming in on Reginald} You see, the original host for this show was this chick who had these two slimy, ooze-dripping tentacles for arms... {Cut to slow zoom in of an artist's rendition of Pinkfrosting - ugly with a snake tongue and holding a decapitated human head.} and, well, it didn't bother me, personally, but...{cut to slow zoom-out of Reginald and Tahoma.} the audience seem to kinda have a problem with it.
TAHOMA: Well, that's understandable.
REGINALD: Yeah, they were all like, {Cut to closer shot of Reginald.} "Hey, man, we don't wanna see no slimy, tentacled bitch on TV, every night!" {Cut to Tahoma, nodding her head.} But, you know, they seem to respond pretty well to me. {Cut back to Reginald.} I think it's my new body that sealed the deal. (He rubs his chest.)
{Cut back to Reginald and Tahoma. Tahoma ponders for a bit.}
TAHOMA: Hmmm, you're right Reginald. That was a funny story. I'm laughing on the inside. {Reginald frowns at this. Closer shot of Tahoma.} T-Fresh out.
{Zoom out to reveal it on a monitor. Tahoma is standing on one side, Mee on the other.}
TAHOMA: So, there's the interview. {The monitor goes static.} I'll be showing it on Chanel J News, later tonight--
MEE: Yeah, that's great, so, I get two hundred bucks for organizing the whole thing, right? I mean, I did introduce you to my buddy, Reginald--
TAHOMA: --Are you implying that you're only doing this for the money? I thought you wanted to promote your friend's show!
MEE: {Grabbing the microphone.} Why can't you trust me, Tahoma? {Starts to choke and sink.} Just once, why can't you trust me?!? {Starts to sob.}
TAHOMA: Ok! I friggin' trust you!
MEE: {Immediately stops sobbing and gets back up.} Alright.
TAHOMA: So, after the show, tonight, {Meelord's watch goes off} I was thinking we--
MEE: Hey, shut up for a second. {Presses the big red button on his watch.} Looks like I'm needed in the medical bay.
TAHOMA: The what?
MEE: The medical bay. See, I'm the ship's doctor, now, so...I've gotta go attend to my medical doctor needs. {Walks out left, past Tahoma.} T-Fresh out.
TAHOMA: {A Pause.} Bye.
{Slide wipe to Meelord, in the medical bay, treating the wounds of Allon, who's sitting on the bed with glass and cuts all over him. Mee dabs a cotton swap on Allon's injured arm.}
ALLON: Ow!
MEE: You frickin' pussy.
COMMANDER: Whoa, Allon! What the heck happened to you? Has Space Tree been beating you again?
ALLON: No, he's never beaten me!
COMMANDER: It's OK Allon, you don't have to lie to me.
ALLON: I just jumped through a window is all.
COMMANDER: You got injured this much just from jumping through a window? You suck, Allon. I jump through windows all the time, and you don't see a single scratch on me, do ya? I mean, besides these ones. {Lifts shirt to reveal a badly wounded belly. Allon and Mee are repulsed.} And do you know why that is? Because I'm a pro. And that's short for professional.
ALLON: Well, I only did it to avoid answering Space Tree's and Pink Frosting's questions.
COMMANDER: What questions?
ALLON: Which one of them --
MEE: The question was whether or not to kick the Commander off the ship.
COMMANDER: What? But, I'M the Commander. Why would they want to kick ME off the ship?
MEE: Well, they don't think you're pulling your weight around here. I mean, Space Tree's the Captain, I'm the doctor, Elvin's the chef, {Allon pulls out and wears a chef hat.} StinkFrosting's the assistant to the chef, and the other character has that gay little talk show. So what the hell do you do?
COMMANDER: I... I'm the Commander.
MEE: Yeah? Well command this. {Holds up middle finger.}
COMMANDER: But I don't want to.
MEE: Exactly. And that's why you're getting kicked off the ship.
COMMANDER: But, but I... uh.. {Leaves, crying.}
ALLON: Why did you do that?
MEE: Shut up.
{Cut back to Space Tree and Pink Frosting, PF is slurping Allon's shake.}
SPACE TREE: All I'm saying is you don't really know how to use your powers. You're like a tentacle ticking time bomb that could go off at any time.
PINKFROSTING: Aw, whatever. That's the most awkward thing you've ever said. And besides, I seemed to do a pretty good job of saving you from the explosion.
SPACE TREE: Are you going to keep bringing that up? I already thanked you for saving me and the other main characters. But what about all the random freaks living on the ship who occasionally pop up and say something stupid? Did you ever think about saving them?
PINKFROSTING: I saved them too, they're right over there! {Gestures behind her, to reveal Alien, Random McPerson, Snitch, and Hairy guy.}
ALIEN: How's it going?
PINKFROSTING: And at least I've got super powers. YOU don't even have a FACE.
SPACE TREE: OK, now that's going too far!
COMMANDER: {Popping into the scene} Guys, stop the fighting! Man, if my being here is causing such a problem, I guess it really is time I left. {Hoists up a hobo bag.}
SPACE TREE: What?
COMMANDER: Guess I'm just going to go and live on the space streets... don't try and stop me!
{Brief Pause, Pink Frosting slurps.}
ALIEN: (Zooms up to Commander.} Don't walk out that door, Commandeer! There's something I've always wanted to say to you, but I've just never been able to find the words! Commander, I love --
COMMANDER: Wait a second, who are you?
SPACE TREE: We weren't arguing about you, Commander. No one's going to kick you off the ship.
PINKFROSTING: Yeah, even if I were the captain, I probably wouldn't kick you off. Probably.
COMMANDER: Really? Well, I guess that's fortunate then, cuz I couldn't really fit all my possessions into this handkerchief.
ALIEN: Could I please borrow that? {Grabs handkerchief.} I think I have something in my eye.
COMMANDER: OK. And what's this about you being the captain?
PINKFROSTING: Hey, all I'm asking for is the title I deserve.
SPACE TREE: Well, I guess there's only one way to settle this. We're going to have to hold an election.
COMMANDER: An erectio --
RANDOMMCPERSON: But that's a story for another time! A ha ha ha ha, hah... what. {Black kid and Snitch edge into the picture.}
COMMANDER: Who are these people?
{Slurping sounds, Credits.}
