*{Cut to cardboard figures of Commander and Allon in prison in their prison clothes.}*

**COMMANDER:** Oh no, we're in prison! What are we going to do now?

*{Cut to a cardboard figure of Space Tree.}*

**SPACE TREE:** Don't worry. Space Tree will break you out of there, because I'm legally obliged to.

*{Cut to the cardboard figure of Commander (in his prison cell). The words "AND SO..." are there on the upper-left hand corner.}*

**COMMANDER:** Okay.

*{Cue opening.}*

*{Cut to Tarbob as a newscaster on the news at 8:14. There is a pic on the top-right corner saying "CHANNEL K".}*

**TARBOB:** This just in.

*{The pic changes to a pic that says the words "THIS JUST IN!"}*

**TARBOB:** *{voiceover}* ... has been official declared dead.

*{Cut back to Tarbob.}*

**TARBOB:** We'll have more on this story right after I drink this *{takes out a can of blue paint}* can of paint *{the pic changes to a bucket of paint with the word "PAINT!"}* here on Channel K news.

*{Cut to the prison cell, where the news is playing on a TV. Commander walks in from the right.}*

**COMMANDER:** Hey, the space president's *{just as Tarbob is about to drink the paint, Commander turns off the TV}* dead. Think we can get out of prison for that?

*{Cut to Allon sitting on a bench.}*

**ALLON:** I don't know. Why don't you ask the warden?

*{Cut to a view of outside the cell, where The Warden comes in from the left.}*

**THE WARDEN:** Did somebody say my name?

**COMMANDER:** *{off-screen}* Hi Mr. Warden...

*{Cut to Commander in the cell.}*

**COMMANDER:** ... we were just wondering if due to this terrible tragedy that's happened, if we'd be able to get out of prison to grieve for this terrible tragedy loss.

*{Cut to The Warden.}*

**COMMANDER:** *{off-screen}* Terrible.

**THE WARDEN:** I'm afraid that's not possible, buddy. But I'm proud of you for askin'.

*{Cut to Commander in front of the prison cell bars. The Warden gives him a candy cane through the bars.}*

**THE WARDEN:** Have a candy cane.

**COMMANDER:** Hey, thanks!

*{Cut to Allon, who gets off the bench.}*

**ALLON:** Uh, it was my idea to ask you, me.

*{Cut to The Warden.}*

**THE WARDEN:** Well, good for you, Allon.

*{Cut to Allon.}*

**THE WARDEN:** Here's half a candy cane.

*{Half of a candy cane is thrown to Allon.}*

**ALLON:** *{silently and angrily}* Aw, this is bull crap!

*{Cut to Commander holding his candy cane.}*

**COMMANDER:** Oh yeah, and it was my idea for him to have the idea. So, uh, *{holds out his right hand}* can I have another one?

*{The Warden pokes in through the bars.}*

**THE WARDEN:** Don't make me put you in the hole, Commander.

*{Cut to a black screen that says "the next day..." A quick beat plays. Cut to a frustrated Commander in the cell.}*

**COMMANDER:** *{sighs}* So when the hell is Space Tree comin' to break us out of here?

*{Cut to Allon lying on the bench.}*

**ALLON:** I told you, *{holds up a piece of paper}* the note says later tonight.

*{Cut to a relieved Commander.}*

**COMMANDER:** Oh, well, that's a relief.

*{Cut to the same transition scene, except the words say "two days later...". The quick beat plays. Cut to a frustrated Commander with a different hairstyle and an X medallion.}*

**COMMANDER:** *{sighs}* So when the hell is Space Tree comin' to break us out of here?

*{Cut to Allon lying on the bench.}*

**ALLON:** I told you, *{holds up a piece of paper}* the note says later tonight.

*{Cut to a relieved Commander.}*

**COMMANDER:** Oh, well, that's a relief.

*{Cut to the same transition scene, except the words say "three days later...". The quick beat plays. Cut to a frustrated Commander with his hair pulled back and apparently wearing Allon's hat.}*

**COMMANDER:** *{sighs}* So when the hell is Space Tree comin' to break us out of here?

*{Cut to Allon lying on the bench.}*

**ALLON:** I told you, *{holds up a piece of paper}* the note says later tonight.

*{Cut to Commander (not relieved). Cut to Allon lying on the bench, holding the piece of paper that Commander takes.}*

**COMMANDER:** Give me that piece of paper.

*{Cut to Commander reading the piece of paper.}*

**COMMANDER:** Oh what the... This says nothing about Space Tree.

*{Cut to an angry Allon standing on the bench.}*

**ALLON:** All right, so I can't read. It's not my fault Space Tree's a bad teacher!

*{Cut to Commander reading the note.}*

**COMMANDER:** Although, what it does say is *{Commander goes off-screen and pops onscreen from the top}* pret... *{Commander goes off-screen and goes back to his original position}* ... ty interesting.

*{Cut to Allon on the bench.}*

**COMMANDER:** *{off-screen}* Apparently, someone's going to kill you.

*{Commander shows Allon the note that says "I WILL KILL YOU\*". There is a smaller blue asterisk below the message with a small blue message.}*

**ALLON:** Aw, what??? What did I do? Hey wait, *{pointing to the blue message}* what's that small part on the bottom of the page?

*{Cut to Commander reading the note.}*

**COMMANDER:** Oh it's just...

*{Cut to what the blue message says, "\*you, the blonde-haired kid".}*

**COMMANDER:** *{off-screen}* Ah. Son of a... It says, uh...

*{Cut to Commander holding the piece of paper.}*

**COMMANDER:** Space Tree's coming later tonight.

*{Cut to a relieved Allon.}*

**ALLON:** Oh, well, that's a relief.

*{The quick beat plays.}*

**COMMANDER:** *{off-screen}* Oh, it's all a lie!

*{Cut to Commander in front of the TV (turned off), looking hopeless.}*

**COMMANDER:** He's never coming and we're both going to die here! *{kneels down}* Especially me!

*{Cut to a wider view of Commander (kneeling) shouting to above.}*

**COMMANDER:** Damn you, Space Tree! *{a ladder comes down}* Damn you to...

*{Just then, Space Tree falls and lands on Commander.}*

**SPACE TREE:** Yeah, you sound much like a whiny bitch when you yell like that.

*{Cut to Allon on the bench.}*

**ALLON:** Hey Space Tree, *{gets off the bench}* let's get the hell out of here!

*{Cut to Commander, who stands up next to Space Tree.}*

**COMMANDER:** So I guess we'll be escaping now. *{Space Tree walks off-screen}* You know, it's like we've been in here for hardly any time at all. It's almost like a wasted opportunity. *{jumps to the right}* Well, *{walks to the center of the screen}* my only regret...

*{Cut to a wider view of the cell with Commander, the TV, and the ladder.}*

**COMMANDER:** ...is that I'll never get to find out who wanted to kill me.

**PSYCOM:** *{off-screen}* DIE!!!

*{Psycom (dressed in Commander's usual attire, except the exclamation mark is a one) leaps onscreen and impales Commander with a spear.}*

**COMMANDER:** Ah! Who the hell are you?

*{Cut to a closer view of Psycom.}*

**PSYCOM:** I am the r...

**COMMANDER:** *{off-screen}* No, wait a minute...

*{Cut to a view of Commander (bleeding at where he's impaled) and Psycom.}*

**COMMANDER:** ...more importantly, why the hell aren't you wearing one of these prison uniforms like the rest of us?

**PSYCOM:** It's Casual Friday, idiot!

*{Cut to a closer view of Commander.}*

**COMMANDER:** Oh, well, nobody told us anything about that.

*{Cut to Psycom}*

**COMMANDER:** *{off-screen}* Let's get the hell out of here!

*{Psycom's bloody spear is thrown into his hand.}*

**COMMANDER:** *{off-screen}* Sorry your killing me didn't work out so well.

*{Cut to Commander in the ventilation shaft, looking down at Psycom.}*

**COMMANDER:** And I'm not even going to ask why you're wearing that blue uniform that I usually wear.

*{Cut to the prison cell, where Psycom is looking up at Commander, who is pulling up the ladder.}*

**PSYCOM:** Well, good, because I wouldn't have told you anyway!

*{Cut to The Warden standing in front of the cell's bars.}*

**THE WARDEN:** Psycom, what are you doin' in this cell, buddy?

**PSYCOM:** Well, you know, I just wanted to kill some prisoners.

**THE WARDEN:** Oh, you and your killing. Now that's the reason why you're in here in the first place, isn't it?

**PSYCOM:** Well, yeah.

**THE WARDEN:** So where are those two inmates anyway?

**PSYCOM:** They escaped.

**THE WARDEN:** Escaped? *{makes a clicking noise}* Oh, those little rascals. Well, thanks for ratting them out, Psycom. Come step into my office. I'm giving you all the candy canes you can handle!

*{Cue credits. Words say above the usual credits "Dedicated to the Memory of Freely McWheely, 1954 - 2005".}*

## Easter Eggs

* At the end click on the hidden candy cane to see Mr.Warden and Psycom talking.

*{Cut to The Warden and Psycom in The Warden's office. Psycom is holding a candy cane.}*

**PSYCOM:** So do these things taste like humanoid flesh, because that's all I've ever eaten?

**THE WARDEN:** Well, these taste even better than that, pal.

**PSYCOM:** Well, all right then.

*{Psycom throws a candy cane into his mouth. Psycom begins malfunctioning and going crazy before his head explodes. As Psycom's body falls, The Warden smiles.}*
