May I Take Your Order?/Transcript

(Episode begins with the Main 4 at Baghead’s house. Them and Baghead are playing a Galactic Battleground video game where you must fly spaceships and complete objectives. The five of them are on the couch, while C0F-3 and R7-A1 spectate.)
Baghead: Orange Leader, standing by.
Candle Man: Candle Man, standing by.
Shaduck: Dude, you have to use your call number.
Candle Man: Oh, sorry. Orange Two, standing by.
Mystic: Orange Four, standing by.
Limefong: Orange One, standing by.
Shaduck: Orange Three, standing by.
Baghead: Let’s get this done.
(They play the game. Baghead takes the front of the orange ships. A set of ships get close to them and begin firing.)
Baghead: Sabertooths! Get low!
(They all maneuver out of the way. One sabertooth hits Mystic.)
Mystic: I’m hit!
(Her ship crashes.)
Mystic: Dang it!
Shaduck: It’s only us guys, now.
(The half dozen sabertooths are struck down one by one.)
Limefong: Look, the command center!
(A giant station suspended in the air appears before the ships.)
Baghead: Everyone, get in blade formation!
(Single file, the ships soar into a small hole with the station. Four sabertooths follow them. One hits Limefong.)
Limefong: AHHH!
(The ship crashes.)
Limefong: Oh, well. I’m gonna order a pizza.
(Now only three of them, the guys navigate the insides of the station. Beams and debris hang everywhere. Candle Man is playing, but his controller batteries are low.)
Candle Man: No! No no no no no-
(They batteries die, and Candle Man’s ship soon crashes into one of the station’s walls.)
Candle Man: ARGGHHH! STUPID BATTERIES!
(Now only two, the ships make it into the main power center of the station.)
Baghead: In and out. We can do this.
(They begin shooting at the power center.)
Baghead: Shaduck, fire torpedos!
Shaduck: Aye, captain.
Baghead: That’s orange leader, private.
(Shaduck shoots the power center with his torpedos, but sabertooths find their way into the large power center.)
Baghead and Shaduck: No!
(Shaduck destroys two of the three sabertooths, but one shoots him down.)
Shaduck: AHHHH!
Baghead: All up to me, then.
(He fires his torpedos after destroying the last sabertooth. The power center blows up, and Baghead now only has a few seconds to get out before the whole station blows up, too.)
Baghead: Come on…
(Knocking on the door is heard.)
Baghead: Can one of you get that?
The Main 4: No!
Baghead: ARRGH!
(He starts navigating out, but there is not much time. Pounding is heard now. Baghead tries to make it out as sweat stains his bag. The pounding gets louder and louder.)
Baghead: Come on!
(But soon he succumbs to the door pounding.)
Baghead: AH!
(He gets up and answers the door as his ship is enveloped by the explosion. Letters on the screen say “Game Over.”)
Baghead: NOOOOOOOO!
(He opens the door, and it is the pizza guy.)
Candle Man, Mystic, Shaduck, and Baghead: LIMEFONG!
Limefong: I WANTED PIZZA!
(Theme song plays. Back to the episode, Kellie pushes the pizza guy out of the way and collapses on the couch sobbing.)
Candle Man: Kellie?
Baghead: What’s wrong?
Kellie (talking between sobs): I-was-fired f-from m-my j-j-job!
Everyone: WHAT?!
Candle Man: Why?
Kellie (talking between sobs): I-don’t-know!
Baghead: Don’t worry, Kellie. I’ll take you home. We can talk there, cuz my game has been... pizzacized.
(Limefong nervously laughs. Baghead and Kellie walk out.)
Baghead: And guys, go back home.
(Door slams shut. Limefong still nervously laughs)
Candle Man: We need to get to the bottom of this! Kellie’s a great employee!
Mystic: This looks like a job for the Candle Friends! P.I.
Everyone Else: P.I.?
Mystic: Never mind.
(It is the next morning. The Main 4 go to the Wikia Bakery. There, they see a phone-distracted blond teen who is chewing gum. She is the new cashier.)
Teen: Yeah?
Candle Man: Hi. We have a few questions to ask you.
Teen: Are you the health inspectors?
Shaduck: What? No. We don't work here.
Mystic: Health inspectors don’t wor-(sigh, now to the teen.) Do you know anything about the previous cashier that worked here?
Teen: Oh, her? Yeah, she was fired.
Mystic: And why?
Teen: If you’re not gonna order anything, I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.
Candle Man: If we all buy a bendy straw, can we stay?
Teen: Ah, yes. The negotiator. Very well.
(They all take a straw while Candle Man hands the teen a dollar.)
Teen: Kellie was fired because she stole all the food here a few days ago.
Shaduck: Stole all the food?
Teen: Yeah.
Candle Man: Are you straight up sure? Because I don't think she would ever do such a thing.
Teen: The evidence was against her. Anyway, I’d say check her house if you were friends of hers, but it doesn’t seem like you guys have friends.
Mystic: Rude.
(They sit down at the bakery. A waiter walks towards the table. He is a messy fellow. His face has smudges, and his shoes are wet and muddy. He looks tight and cold.)
Waiter: Would you like anything to drink?
Shaduck: No thanks, the straws are enough.
Waiter: Very well.
(He walks away, rather loudly.)
Candle Man: “Stole all the food”?
Mystic: Seems like a silly thing to get fired for.
Limefong: It’s still against the rules. Anyway, we should take that rude teen’s advice.
(They enter Kellie’s house. Kellie and Baghead are on the sofa. Kellie is still crying while Baghead consoles her.)
Limefong: She must have really liked her job.
Baghead: Indeed. That job was her life.
Mystic: Seems a little stupid…
Everyone but Mystic and Kellie: MYSTIC!
Mystic: Sorry!
Candle Man: Anyway, let's do what the blond haired girl said. Kellie, may we see your kitchen?
Kellie: S-s-sure, but why?
Limefong: Just checking something.
(They walk in and everywhere they look is bakery items. Cinnamon rolls, bagels, donuts, everything.)
Candle Man: Kellie, have you been in your kitchen since you were fired?
Kellie: N-n-n-no! I-I went directly to B-B-Baghead’s house!
Shaduck: Interesting. Hmm…
(The sliding glass back door is in the kitchen, and Shaduck spots something on the door. It is…)
Shaduck: Guys?
Candle Man, Mystic, and Limefong: Yeah?
Shaduck: There’s a handprint on the glass.
Limefong (who goes to inspect the back door.) And it looks like the lock is broken!
Mystic: Okay, I am getting confused now.
Limefong: Isn’t it obvious? Kellie was framed!
Mystic: I knew it!
(Not hearing this, Kellie keeps crying. Candle Man overhears, then signal for the quartet to be in a huddle.)
Candle Man: Alright, here’s what we’re gonna do: Mystic and I will go help Baghead cheer up Kellie. You two go solve the mystery.
Shaduck and Limefong: Aye aye!
(Candle Man and Mystic go into the living room.)
Mystic: Kellie, what if we go take you out for ice cream? That always helps.
Kellie: I-I-I-I guess.
Candle Man: Very well, then. C’mon, everyone.
Kellie: W-w-what about them?
Mystic: Don’t worry. They’re gonna help.
(The four leave. Back to the ducktective and the dogtective, they have gone through the backdoor and are now in the backyard.)
Shaduck: Hmm. Kellie doesn’t have any cameras, so we can’t look at videotapes.
Limefong: Darn.
Shaduck: Let's check the bathroom.
Limefong: The bathroom?
Shaduck: Yeah, the-WAIT, LOOK!
(Shaduck points at muddy footprints on the patio.)
Limefong: Hmm, they look human, but these aren’t bare feet. These are shoes.
Shaduck: Kellie wears shoes!
Limefong: So do a lot of people!
Shaduck: And why do I feel like that cashier did it all?
Limefong: We can’t say for sure.
Shaduck: Maybe we should check with the manager. See how they knew Kellie “did it”.
Limefong: Good idea.
(They re-enter the bakery. The teen looks at them.
Teen: What do you want now?
Shaduck: We’d like to speak to the manager.
Limefong: Please.
Teen: Very well, because that dog is polite.
(They enter the manager's office. It is a small and dim room, but at a desk is a fat human male with a bushy mustache, stubble, and messy hair. He wears a tan shirt with a dark brown tie and khakis. He snarls as he addresses the men.)
Manager: Who let you back here?
Limefong: Your cashier.
Manager: God dang it, Shana! Well, what do you two want?
Shaduck: We’d like to know why Kellie Smith was fired.
Manager: Oh, I never liked Kellie. She did the job so well, almost like she was mocking me. I was so happy when I was presented evidence that Kellie stole our entire supply of food.
Limefong: It was just a lie. And just because she did her job so well doesn't mean she mocked you.
Manager: "A lie"? What are you talking about?
Limefong: We saw evidence on her house that she didn't do it, rather, it was someone else.
Shaduck: ...And I think it was the new cashier.
Manager: Shana would never do such a thing! She’s too lazy.
Limefong: The footprints resembled her feet, and that looks sus.
Manager: Her feet were behind the register! How could you see them?
Shaduck: Doesn’t matter. It was her, and we’re sure of it.
Manager: Oh, it was her? If so, GET HER HERE!
(Shaduck and Limefong go to Shana)
Shaduck: The manager wants you.
Shana: What’s going on? Am I getting promoted?
Shaduck: You will see yourself.
(Shaduck, Limefong and Shana go to the manager)
Manager: Hello Shana. Let me cut to the chase: YOU'RE FIRED!
Shana: What? Why?
Manager: You know why.
Shaduck: You stole all that food!
Limefong: And framed Kellie!
Shana: What? Kellie’s my friend! I’d never frame her!
Manager: Leave your lies to your family. Get out of my sight.
(Shana hangs her head as she leaves. Our heroes leave.)
Shaduck: Well, mystery solved!
Limefong: But do you get the feeling we wrongly accused someone with little evidence?
Shaduck: Hmm… no, I don't care.
(Scene changes to the ice cream parlor. Kellie, Mystic, Candle Man, and Baghead all sit down with their ice cream. Kellie is crying less.)
Candle Man: Best ice cream in town!
Baghead: Indeed. Kellie seems to be feeling better, too.
Kellie: I-I am.
Mystic: Though, it’s a drag they don’t have crushed Kyber sprinkles.
Candle Man: Ooh, I have an idea!
(Candle Man, Mystic, and Baghead go over to another table.)
Candle Man: What if we set up a fake bakery to help Kellie get back into her element?
Mystic: Good idea! Baghead will keep her distracted while we put it together!
Baghead: Why me?
Candle Man: You’re not supposed to have a prominent role for the next six episodes.
Baghead: Hmph.
Candle Man: Let’s do it.
(Suddenly, Candle Man’s phone rings.)
Candle Man: Yello?
Shaduck (through phone): Candle Man, it’s us.
Candle Man: Oh, hey guys! How goes the mystery?
(Now on Shaduck and Limefong’s side. They are outside Kellie’s house.)
Shaduck: We got our mystery solved. We got Shana fired.
Candle Man (through phone): Who’s Shana, and why?
Limefong: Shana was the cashier in Kellie’s place. I don’t think it was her, though.
Shaduck: I suspected her.
Limefong: We had no real evidence, and we got her fired.
Shaduck: I suppose we could see if she’s in the clear.
Candle Man (through phone): So what evidence did you find?
(Meanwhile, Kellie spots someone out the window of the parlor. It is the waiter from earlier.)
Kellie: Hey, Mitch!
(He waves and walks inside.)
Mitch: Hey, Kellie! What’s up?
Kellie: I got fired.
Mitch: Darn, that’s too bad. Shana got fired, too.
Kellie: Why?
Mitch: Something about framing you.
Kellie: Shana would never do that!
Mitch: I know. It’s crazy. On the upside, I got promoted.
Kellie: Good job, I guess.
Mitch: Ew, my shoes are all muddy.
(Candle Man overhears this, then calls up Shaduck and Limefong.)
Limefong (through phone): Yes?
Candle Man: Stake out the bakery for a messy and muddy man. I think Mitch is the one who did it.
Limefong (through phone): So Shana wasn't the one who framed Kellie?
Candle Man: No.
Shaduck (through phone): I thought she was.
Limefong (through phone): I TOLD YOU!
(Cuts to the detectives.)
Shaduck: I’m stupid, okay?
Limefong: Now we need to get Mitch fired and get Shana and Kellie their jobs back.
Shaduck: We will go to that place again… ugh.
(Cuts to Candle Man and Mystic making the fake bakery.)
Candle Man: Are we going to serve fake foods or…
Mystic: No. That wouldn’t be okay.
Candle Man: Well, this is a fake bakery…
Mystic: Still, no.
(Scene changes to the detectives entering and sitting down. Montage of them getting more and more tired, but after a while, Mitch finally walks in. The duo stand up.)
Shaduck: Mitchell Bakkilov, come with us!
Mitch: How did you know my name? And okay.
(They push him offscreen. Scene changes to Kellie, whose eyes are closed by Baghead’s hands.)
Baghead: Ready to see our surprise?
Kellie: I guess.
(Baghead removes his hands from her eyes. She is shocked to see that Candle Man and Mystic have made the bakery counter out of cardboard and other things, all in the Candle Friends’ house’s backyard.)
Kellie: Wow!
Baghead: Right? Go check it out!
(She runs behind the counter and starts making herself comfortable. Mystic walks up.)
Mystic: May I have a bagel with crushed Kyber sprinkles?
Kellie: But I don’t have any foo-
(Baghead hands her Mystic’s order.)
Kellie: Oh! Here you go!
(She hands it to Mystic, who walks away after leaving some fake money on the counter. Kellie is very happy.)
Candle Man: Do you like what Mystic and I did for you?
Kellie: Yes! Thank you all very much!
Mystic: It was nothing.
(Mystic’s phone rings.)
Mystic: WHY SO MANY PHONE CALLS?!
Limefong (through phone): Sorry, but we need you to come down here immediately! We’re about to get Kellie’s job back!
Mystic: Roger!
(Mystic hangs up.)
Kellie: What’s going on?
Mystic: They’re about to get your job back! We need to get down to the bakery.
Kellie: Let’s go!
(They take the Candle Car down to the Wikia Bakery. Meanwhile, Shaduck, Limefong, and Mitch are in the manager’s office.
Manager: Oh, so this is the real guy who did it?
Mitch: But sir-
Manager: DID YOU DO IT?!
Shaduck: He must have!
Limefong: His shoes match the muddy footprints,
Shaduck: His shoes are muddy,
Limefong: His hand is the same size,
Shaduck: And he benefited!
Manager: So, Mitch, did you do it?
Mitch: ...Yes. I did it, but-
Manager: Get out of my sight.
(Shaduck and Limefong push him out of the office. Scene cuts to the rest, who have arrived. They rush into the office.
Manager: Ah. Hello, Kellie.
Shaduck: Wait a second. Why did you fire her, anyway? What was your evidence?
Manager: Mitch took a picture of all of the bakery items in her house and presented it to me.
Shaduck: Makes sense.
Candle Man: And you fired her because of that photo?
Limefong: You know, I don’t think he checked the security cameras before agreeing Kellie did it.
(The manager stands up.)
Manager: You’re right. I didn’t.
(Suddenly, it hits them all.)
Baghead: You did it.
Manager: Can you blame me? All of them mocking me indirectly, making me look like I’m lazy. I set all of them up. Kellie, Shana, Mitch. All of them. I told Mitch to do it, too. I knew he’d get caught. I never liked any of them.
Shaduck: Well, we’re not going out without a fight!
Manager: Yes, you are. I have authority. You’re just six kids with no evidence I did it.
Kellie: Oh, do we?
Limefong: It seems you’ve forgotten about the security cameras.
(Mystic rips one from the wall, plugs it into her phone, and plays the tape. The smile on the manager’s face melts away.)
Manager (from security tape): I set all of them up. Kellie, Shana, Mitch. All of them. I told Mitch to do it, too. I knew he’d get caught. I never liked any of them.
Kellie: Think about what the owner would say.
Manager: No! Don’t tell the owner! As my employee, I command you!
Kellie: Remember? I’m not your employee.
(Limefong uses telekinesis to keep the manager in his office, then they all walk out and lock the door.)
Candle Man: Another fatal error: the lock on the door is in the wrong place.
(The manager pounds on the door as the six leave. Then fades to outside the bakery. Baghead is trying to parallel park, but everyone else is out of the car. Joining them are Shana, Mitch, and a tall man with clean brown hair and a regular suit. It is the owner. The manager is being taken away.)
Owner: From now on, I’ll be the manager. Well done, kids.
Candle Man: It was mostly Shaduck and Limefong over there.
Owner: Well, I have something for you two.
Shaduck: Is it money? If so, I did it all.
Limefong: No, me!
Owner: Here.
(He hands them some cleaner and a towel.)
Shaduck: What’s this for?
Owner: To clean up what Mitch did to Kellie’s house.
Shaduck and Limefong: Oh.
Kellie: Hey Mitch, why did you do it anyway?
Mitch: He didn’t tell me we were framing you. He said he wanted to have a photo shoot with a lot of bakery items on Kellie’s kitchen table, then present them to him saying “Kellie did it”.
Kellie: And you didn’t find that suspicious?
Mitch: Good employees follow orders.
Shana: So are we gonna get out jobs back, or…
Owner: Oh yes. You and Mitch will go back to being waiters and waitresses.
Kellie: And me?
Owner: Back to the register.
Kellie: Yay!
(She runs inside.)
Candle Man: And the best part is, Kellie can keep everything because it’s a day or two old!
Mystic: She’s gonna have a good breakfast for the next few weeks.
(Cuts to Kellie. She jumps over the counter and lands gracefully, putting on the bakery employee hat. Customers walk up.)
Kellie: Welcome to the Wikia Bakery, may I take your order?
(She winks at the viewer. Episode ends.)
