Small Conflict

## Script

[At Fredrick's Arcade, Bart is sitting in his room, relaxing on his bed. 'Till he hears loud small footsteps, as his eyes open. Alfred is peeking near Bart's door.]

Alfred: "Hi, Bart! How's it going??"

[Suddenly, Alfred is knocked over by Toby running at sonic speed, as they both tumble on top of each other.]

Toby: "Hi!"

Alfred: "Ugh, Toby. I told you to wait somewhere else.."

Bart: "Wait for what?"

Alfred: "Uhh-- uhh.. Bart! I was gonna ask if I could borrow your.. hook!"

Bart: "Me hook..? Eh.. why??"

Alfred: "Erm.. we-  I mean I need to--"

Toby: "Eat it!"

Alfred: "What? No! I just wanna clean it for you!"

Bart: "Clean it? But it's not dirty. I cleaned it this morning!"

Alfred: "But are you sure it's sparkling clean??"

Bart: "Well.." [Looks at his hook] "I don't see any sparkles on it.."

Alfred: "Well, give it to me and I'll return it sparkling clean!"

Toby: "Sparkie cwean!"

Bart: "Well, okay. But be careful with it!"

[Bart takes the hook of his hand and gives it to Alfred.]

Alfred: "Don't worry, Bart! We'll take good care of it!"

Toby: "Ya!" [Holds a thumbs up]

[Bart smiles as Alfred and Toby walk out the room. Alfred laughs evilly as he holds the hook in his hand. His mischevious moment is ruined by Toby making grabby hands for the hook.]

Toby: "Toby want hook! Pwease!"

Alfred: "Hmph! No, Toby." [Pulls it away from him] "I got this hook fair and square. It's mine."

[Toby makes a sad face as his eyes start to water and he begins whimpering. Alfred starts to worry.]

Alfred: "Okay, okay. I'll let you play with it for one minute but give it back, okay?"

[Alfred gives the hook to Toby, as Toby starts chewing on it.]

Alfred: "It's not a food you dumb dumb! It's metal!"

[Toby shakes the hook around as he accidently tosses it. It flies.. as Alfred is saying "no" in slow-motion. It then falls to the ground.. and cracks. Bart's hook now has lots of cracks in it. Alfred's eyes crack, break, and drip on the floor. He then falls over. He then wakes up and his eyes recover]

Alfred: "We're dead, Toby! Bart's hook is now in pieces becuase of you!"

Toby: "Pizza! I win!"

Alfred: "Not pizza you idiot! PIECES! Bart's hook is in pieces!" [Alfred covers his face and groans] "I knew I shouldn't have trusted a dumb baby!"

Toby: "Fix!"

Alfred: "Fix?? FIX??!!" [Yelling at Toby] "How are we going to fix this?!?"

Toby: "Fix, fix!"

Alfred: *[Groans. Walks over to the cracked hook.]* "Look at this, Toby. It's no use. I can't fix this. Watch."

*[Alfred closes his eyes and picks up the hook. It breaks and now it's really in pieces. Alfred's eyes get huge as the camera focuses on Bart's hook, which is now in pieces on the floor. Alfred screams.]*

Toby: "Pieces!"

Alfred: "This is not good, Toby! This is not good! Mr. Bart is gonna be so mad, and when he sees what we did to his hook..

*[Cut to Alfred's imagination. A drawn, scribbled version of Bart is shown walking around. After looking around, he notices his shattered hook on the floor, with Toby and Alfred being the culprit. Bart is enraged as his picks up Alfred and Toby by their heads.]*

Imagination Bart: "You two are dead! I mean that LITERATLY! I'm going to mash your heads in so much that you won't be able to think, or even live EVER!"

[It then shows Bart throwing them in a whole, which they both fall through darkness, and land in an dumbster. Bart looks inside the hole]

**Imagination Alfred**: *[An endoskeleton arm rises behind him and Toby]* "No! Bart! No, Bart! No!" *[The arm grabs them by the neck and pulls them down. Alfred chokes]* "Bart…" *[The arms drag them into* a monstrous Bart's mouth. Alfred's imagination ends as he rocks back and forth in fear.]

**Alfred**: "We’re dead…we’re dead…we’re dead…we’re dead…we might as well, skip town at this point…" *[Cries and covers his face]*

**Toby**: "Cheer up, Alfie! It could be worse."

**Alfred**: "How can this possibly be worse?!"

**Toby:** "You can be bwonde and yewwow at the same time."

**Alfred**: *[Face falls on the ground.]* "Well, there’s only one thing to do now…" *[Crawls off screen to build something.]*

**Toby**: "Alfie, It not the end. You know that." *[Alfred is building 2 coffins for him and Toby.]*

**Alfred**: *[Stops building.]* "It’s not?"

**Toby**: "We just gotta gwue it back together!" *[Takes out a bottle of glue.]* "Wike dis!" *[Cut to Bart’s hook glued back together.]* "See? Simple as that?"

**Alfred**: "Oh, I’m sure he won’t notice!" *[Shakes Toby’s hand until the hook falls apart and then explodes. They slowly look down at the broken hook. Alfred's scream is high-pitched]*

**Fredrick**: *[Stops playing an arcade game]* "What is wrong with that boy?!" *[Runs to Alfred]* "What are you simpletons doing?! Quit making too much noise, please! I’m losing concentration!"

**Alfred**: "Sorry, Freddy. I broke Bart’s Hook…"

**Fredrick**: "Oh, you’ve gotta be kidding me! Just go buy a new one!" *[Takes it]* "I’ll see if I can fix it." *[Walks away]*

**Toby**: "You heaw da man! We go buy another one." *[Drags Alfred out the arcade and down the streets.]*

**Alfred**: *[Clinches to the floor in fear]* "Wait! Wait! Wait!"

**Toby**: "What?"

**Alfred:** "What if Bart notices that it's not his??"

**Toby**: "Twust me, Alfie. He won't notice a ting!"

*[Cut to Alfred and Toby at the costume store. They are looking for hooks.]*

Alfred: "Hm.. there's gotta be replacement hooks somewhere.."

*[Toby giggles as he is wearing a pirate hat.]*

Toby: "Wook! I'm a piwate now!"

Alfred: *[Snatches the hat]* "Toby! Focus!" *[Puts the hat back and keeps looking]*
