## Transcript

*(opening credits)*

*(cut to Ghost Spider reading a book; as he turns a page Space Tree barges into his room)*

**SPACE TREE:** That does it, Ghost Spider! You're outta here!

**GHOST SPIDER:** What?

**SPACE TREE:** I'm evicting you from my ship on the grounds of... Uh... I'm evicting you!

**GHOST SPIDER:** Why? I thought we were getting along great here!

**SPACE TREE:** Yeah, well, I've really tried to tolerate you and your rowdy behavior, but a man can only take so much. A tree man.

**GHOST SPIDER:** What, you think I've been a bad tenant?

**SPACE TREE:** Yes! Don't you remember the time you made that noise?

*(flashback; Ghost Spider blinks, and a ninja star is thrown at him)*

**SPACE TREE:** Shut up! I'm trying to sleep in here!

*(cut back to present day)*

**SPACE TREE:** And let's not forget that other time you shot a hole through the wall.

*(flashback; Space Tree is wearing sunglasses for some reason)*

**SPACE TREE:** Take this, you stupid friggin' wall!

*(he shoots a laser beam from his branches, blasting a hole in the wall)*

**SPACE TREE:** Whoa, that was awesome!

*(present day again)*

**GHOST SPIDER:** I didn't do that, it was you.

**SPACE TREE:** Oh, yeah. That was awesome. I wish I could remember how I did that.

**GHOST SPIDER:** Well, come on, do you really have to kick me out? I like living here!

**SPACE TREE:** Hmm. Let me consider this question more thoroughly.

*(cut to Space Tree at the blackboard)*

**SPACE TREE:** Well, I'll be god-damned, the triangle does have three sides.

**GHOST SPIDER:** Told ya. You owe me 5 bucks.

**SPACE TREE:** Yeah, well, you owe me a 'get the hell outta my house', bitch.

**GHOST SPIDER:** *(sighs)* Fine. I see how it is. Hope you have fun watering your plants without me to do it for you. Because you won't.

**SPACE TREE:** Plants? Those are my children.

*(cut to GS floating in space with his stuff)*

**GHOST SPIDER:** *(singing)* Floating around in space, I got a suitcase filled with-

*(the Commander shows up next to him in a spacesuit)*

**COMMANDER:** Ghost Spider!

**GHOST SPIDER:** Oh, hey.

**COMMANDER:** What's up?

**GHOST SPIDER:** I just got evicted from the ship.

**COMMANDER:** Oh, really? Ya got any beer?

**GHOST SPIDER:** No.

**COMMANDER:** Well, then, what are we gonna do?

**GHOST SPIDER:** Oh, it's no big deal, really. I could just move into my summer house. Which, coincidently, is right over there.

*(we see Ghost Spider's summer house, which looks like a mansion)*

**COMMANDER:** All right! New Year's Eve party at Ghost Spider's house! You bring the beer.

*(LATER! is displayed. An alarm is heard. Cut to the outside of Space Tree's ship, with each alarm it zooms in more. We then cut to the inside to see it's a party detector)*

**SPACE TREE:** What the hell? Who's havin' a party without me?

*(he pushes a button; the alarm stops and a picture of Ghost Spider's summer home shows up on the monitor, subtitled "Ghost Spider's House")*

**SPACE TREE:** Ghost Spider, huh? Where have I heard that name before?

*(cut to Ghost Spider on the phone)*

**GHOST SPIDER:** So, I just told her to throw the anchovies away, because they're not really-

*(Space Tree shows up)*

**SPACE TREE:** All right, New Year's eve Party, yeah!

**GHOST SPIDER:** Uh... yeah. Why are you here now?

**SPACE TREE:** Well, you know, I thought I'd come in fashionably late.

**GHOST SPIDER:** Well, you're not so much fashionably late as a week early. (The phone has disappeared.)

**SPACE TREE:** A week? Oh. Hold on a second.

*(He leaves the room; but holds up a sign saying "One Week Later")*

**SPACE TREE:** One week later...

*(he re-enters)*

**SPACE TREE:** All right! Let's get this party started!

**GHOST SPIDER:** OK.

*(He pushes a button on a remote. Party music starts; the SpeshDiv robot and Commander enter)*

**SPESHDIV ROBOT:** Special delivery for *(pulls out a keg)* yo momma! Ha ha! *(one of his eyes explodes)*

**COMMANDER:** Screw her! I'm drinkin' this!

*(cut to ST and GS; Space Tree has a beer and is wearing sunglasses)*

**SPACE TREE:** So, GS, I think we all know the real reason why you invited me here tonight.

**GHOST SPIDER:** Actually, I don't think I invited you-

**SPACE TREE:** Come on, man, let's just cut the bull\*\*\*\*. Let's just cut it, put it in an envelope, and mail it to your cousin, because it's obvious that you want to leave this huge mansion and come back and live in a tiny room in my ship.

**GHOST SPIDER:** Uh, not really, no.

**SPACE TREE:** Come on, you can stop pretending now. I'm giving you permission to come back and live there.

**GHOST SPIDER:** I'm not coming. And to tell you the truth, I don't really ever want to see you again. So, why don't you make like a tree and *leave*!

*(the music screeches to a halt)*

*(cut to Commander, in the middle of a fight with the Christophers)*

**COMMANDER:** Oh, no, he di'n't!

**SPACE TREE:** Well, fine, then. This place is dead anyway. Good riddance. To you. *(he exits)*

**GHOST SPIDER:** Yeah, more like "wood riddance".

*(the music stops again)*

**COMMANDER:** Oh, ho, ho, ho.

*(cut to a "Next Time, On Space Tree" sign)*

**ANNOUNCER:** Next time, on Space Tree the Space Tree...

*(cut to Commander, in his Episode One design; he pushes a button)*

**COMMANDER:** Come in, Space Tree! We've got to save Christmas!

**SPACE TREE:** Did you just say we've got to save Christmas?!

**COMMANDER:** No!

*(roll end credits)*
