## Season 6, Episode 17 - Scribbles’ New Job

The episode of The Bing Bunch shows how Scribbles has to find a job to pay Tony Stark back for the fines he incurred when he stole and drove his car. Scribbles is ashamed and sorry for what he did, and he wants to make amends with Tony Stark and Bing. He also wants to prove to his boyfriend Karkat that he is responsible and mature.

However, Scribbles faces many challenges and difficulties in the job market as a cat. He realizes that most employers are not willing to hire a cat, especially a fat grey cat who used to be a mafia boss. He also realizes that most jobs are not suitable or safe for a cat, especially a fat grey cat who likes to eat and sleep. He tries to apply for various jobs, such as:

* A pizza delivery cat, where he has to ride a bike and deliver pizzas to customers. He fails at this job because he eats the pizzas before delivering them, and because he gets chased by dogs and cars.
* A security guard cat, where he has to patrol a mall and prevent theft and vandalism. He fails at this job because he falls asleep on the job, and because he gets distracted by shiny objects and laser pointers.
* A model cat, where he has to pose for photos and advertisements for cat products. He fails at this job because he is too fat and lazy, and because he scratches and bites the photographers and stylists.

Scribbles becomes frustrated and depressed, as he feels that he will never find a job that suits him. He feels that he is useless and worthless, and that he will never be able to pay Tony Stark back.

He decides to ask Frodo Baggins for a job at Starbucks, where Frodo works as a manager. Frodo is a hobbit who used to be the ring-bearer of the One Ring, but who now lives in New York City and runs a successful coffee shop. Frodo is a friend of the Bing Bunch, and he knows about Scribbles’ situation.

Frodo agrees to give Scribbles a chance, and hires him as a barista at Starbucks. He teaches him how to make coffee, serve customers, and clean the store. He also gives him a uniform, a name tag, and a salary.

Scribbles is grateful and happy for Frodo’s kindness and generosity. He tries his best to do his job well, and to learn from Frodo’s example. He hopes that this will be the start of his new life.

However, Scribbles soon discovers that working at Starbucks is not as easy or fun as it seems. He faces many problems and challenges at his new job, such as:

* The coffee machine, which is complicated and confusing for him. He often makes mistakes with the orders, such as giving decaf instead of regular, or adding too much or too little milk or sugar. He also burns himself with the hot water or steam.
* The customers, who are rude and demanding for him. They often complain about his service, his appearance, or his attitude. They also make fun of him for being a cat, or try to pet him or take pictures of him.
* The health inspector, who is suspicious and hostile towards him. He questions Frodo’s decision to hire a cat as a barista, and threatens to shut down the store if he finds any violations or hazards.
* Garfield and Suzy, who are still loyal to Elon Musk and who hate Scribbles for betraying them. They try to sabotage his job by hacking into the coffee machine, spreading rumors about him online, or sending their League of Evil Dogs to attack him.

Scribbles becomes stressed and overwhelmed by his new job. He feels that he is not cut out for it, and that he will never be able to please anyone. He wonders if he should quit or give up.

He decides to talk to Frodo about his problems, and ask for his advice. Frodo listens to Scribbles’ troubles, and gives him some words of wisdom and encouragement. He tells him that:

* Working at Starbucks is not easy, but it is rewarding. He tells him that making coffee is an art and a science, which requires practice and patience. He tells him that serving customers is a skill and a service, which requires respect and kindness.
* Working at Starbucks is not only about coffee, but also about people. He tells him that being a barista is not only about making drinks, but also about making connections. He tells him that being part of Starbucks is not only about being an employee, but also about being part of a community.
* Working at Starbucks is not only about money, but also about meaning. He tells him that paying Tony Stark back is not only about settling a debt, but also about showing gratitude and responsibility. He tells him that finding a job is not only about earning a living, but also about finding a purpose and a passion.

Frodo tells Scribbles that he believes in him, and that he is proud of him. He tells him that he has seen him grow and improve as a barista, and as a person. He tells him that he has potential and talent, and that he can achieve anything he sets his mind to.

He tells him to not give up, but to keep trying.

Scribbles feels inspired and motivated by Frodo’s words. He thanks Frodo for his support and guidance. He decides to not quit or give up, but to keep trying.

He decides to work harder and smarter at his job, and to overcome his problems and challenges. He decides to make better coffee, serve happier customers, and clean the store. He decides to pay Tony Stark back, find his purpose and passion, and make Frodo proud.

He decides to be the best barista cat he can be.
