Proto Towers

**Proto Towers** (Japanese: ブルース タワーズ Blues Towers) is a third episode of *DLN008 Elec Man*.

## Synopsis

The episode begins with Bass and Elec Man walking to work, where Elec Man tells a false story about overcooking the fries, much to Bass' annoyance. In the meantime, Bass realizes the Krusty Proto has dramatically changed. Proto Man has turned the restaurant into a hotel and renamed it the Proto Towers, with the original building now on top of a large tower. Proto Man explains that while he was on vacation, he was shocked by his outrageously high hotel bills, tallying up to $345.00, and realized how much money hotels can make. He says that the employees there lived by a code: "We shall never deny a guest even the most ridiculous request," which was on a gold plaque above a fireplace in the hotel he stayed at. He put that one for the Proto Towers.

A customer enters and orders a Double Proto Burgers with no onions and extra pickles, then leaves when Proto Man tells him that he must book a hotel room and order room service to eat their food because the customer only has an hour for lunch. Gemini Man soon arrives and becomes the hotel's first actual guest. After signing the register, which he believed was a test, Bass carries Gemini Man's bags, and he tries to take the guest elevator, but Proto Man stops him and explains that he must take the "employee elevator," which is actually in fact, a staircase. Gemini Man then requests Bass to come several more times for ridiculous reasons. Whenever Bass gets to the bottom of the hotel, Proto Man tells him to go back up to do something that Gemini Man wants. After being ordered to give Gemini Man a "bubble bath," Bass loudly states that he has had enough and rides the elevator to the lobby where he stubbornly quits his job.

He walks out the door and immediately comes back as a guest, instead of an employee. He decides to take advantage of Proto Man's code by demanding a room on the top floor and that Proto Man carry him to get there, which he gets by paying him and using the plaque. Then he orders a Proto Burger with cheese, nose hair, and toenail clippings, and forces Proto Man to eat it for humor. Also, Gemini Man has the cheese all over his room, which is supposed to be on that Proto Burger, because he said earlier he wanted the room with cheese. Bass then wants his cookies like the ones his father makes, which Proto Man resentfully has to get. Elec Man comes with him to get Bass' father to have his make his cookies. Then, he wants Proto Man and Elec Man to repaint his room and change his furniture, only to get it back to its original state. Then, he wants an indoor pool. After getting the indoor pool, Gemini Man jumps in, and the force causes the hotel to collapse, leaving only the original Krusty Proto standing.

Gemini Man, Elec Man, Bass, and Proto Man luckily survive, but end up in the hospital with massive injuries. When the episode ends with Proto Man seeing the hospital fee ($15,000), he scraps the idea of a hotel and tells Bass, Elec Man, and Gemini Man that they are going to medical school, much to Bass' dismay and Elec Man and Gemini Man's delight.
