## Transcript

(The episode opens with The Lucky 6 watching TV in their hideout, with the only source of light coming from the TV. Despite this, they are completely drenched in sweat)

**Walt Walker:** And so, it is another glorious summer day in Lakeside City, with a glamorous, sweltering high temperature of one-hundred thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit! (sighs) I love this job.

(Suddenly, he starts breaking down and crying - still in front of the camera)

**Constantinos:** (gasps for air) Even with only one tiny light on, it's still too hot!

**Eric:** (the camera pans over to him to reveal him in just his underwear, but he's still sweaty) You're telling me.

**Edward:** (panting heavily and sweating profusely) I think my sweat glands just developed their own sweat glands.

**Stanley:** Give me some. I'm burning up over here.

(Edward allows Stanley to grab him, and Stanley squeezes his entire body like a towel. He drinks tiny drops of his sweat and sets him back down)

**Stanley:** Thank you.

**Edward:** Don't mention it.

**Joey:** You actually don't want him to mention that again, right?

**Edward:** Yup.

**Dallas:** (lays down) Oh, dear Animator in the Sky, give us a sign. A sign that will prevent us from facing a fiery death.

(Beat)

(An ice cream truck jingle is heard blaring outside)

**All:** ICE CREAM!!!!

(They dash out, and Eric hastily puts his clothes back on while they're sprinting away)

**Dallas:** Come on, quick! It's not gonna be here for very long!

**Eric:** I'm trying, but I think I'm shrinking!

**Joey:** You're not shrinking, you doorknob! Just keep running!

**Eric:** No, really!

(The camera pans out to reveal that Eric's body is melting)

**Joey:** (taken aback) Oh.

(Edward scoops up the partially-liquified Eric, and they rush to the front of the ice cream truck)

**Stanley:** (takes out some dollar bills) Six Popsicles, please.

**Floyd:** Sorry kids, but I'm all out of everything. The line went crazy.

(They groan)

**Edward:** But we just heard the truck seconds ago!

**Floyd:** Small price to pay for global warming, but I'll see if I can still hook you boys up.

(Floyd digs through his contents)

**Floyd:** Oh! Hang on, don't go yet. I still have some mint-flavored ice cream.

(And then they react in utter disgust)

**Joey:** Spare us some mercy, Dad. Any sane man knows that mint ice cream tastes like toothpaste.

**Floyd:** Sorry, son, it's a take-what-you-can-get situation here.

**Eric:** By this point, I'll take anything.

**Stanley:** Alright, your funeral. (hands Floyd the money)

**Eric:** (shrugs) Can't be that bad.

(He takes a small lick, and the camera immediately cuts to him loudly puking in a toilet. It then cuts back to outside, where the sun is beating down more than ever)

(Constantinos' arms start wrinkling from the heat, and they turn red. Before he knows it, they turn into live-action stock images of red sausages)

**Edward:** (spots some shade) There! Shade!

(They dive into shade provided by a tree, and they sigh in relief, only for the shade to recede. They scream and stand against the tree, only for the shade to vanish)

**Eric:** I might know a place where we can stay cool.

**Joey:** By this point, I'm desperate enough to believe you. (they run off, each step resembling a blazing inferno)

(We see The Lucky 6 inside of a butcher shop's prep room)

**Stanley:** Take-what-you-can-get situation, eh?

**Joey:** *Don't* rub it in.

(At that moment, a butcher with a cleaving knife grabs Joey. The gang observes this in shock)

**Butcher:** Weird, I don't recall hunting an animal *this* ugly. (inspects Joey further) Eh, people will buy anything.

(The butcher tosses Joey into a processor, and Joey is heard screaming bloody murder before it gets abruptly interrupted by the camera immediately cutting to him in a body cast)

**Joey:** Ok, besides having my entire body chopped into bits, how else should we keep ourselves from melting?

**Edward:** (he and the rest of the gang have already melted) Way ahead of that.

(Carver's shadow eclipses over them)

**Carver:** What the heck are you dorks doing?

**Edward:** Trying to cool off.

**Dallas:** (they reform themselves) Oh, Carver, my sworn arch-nemesis. How's it goin', guy?

**Carver:** Dorks! (walks away)

**Edward:** Carver, wait! Where are you going?

**Carver:** I'm throwing a pool party at Lola's house. Everybody in the neighborhood is invited.

**Eric:** (gasps) Including us?

**Carver:** Sorry, let me rephrase that. A party none of you dorks are invited to! (laughs and finally walks away)

**Joey:** Say, Dallas, why don't ya just beat some sense into him like how ya always do?

**Dallas:** Nah, not the day for that. We're gonna sneak in and crash the party.

**Joey:** For once, I like your way of thinking.

(The camera transitions to Gurney's backyard, where there are two security guards at the fence. They let a couple in and close the door once they walk in)

**Stanley:** (inspecting this with binoculars) There's two security guards. Fighting our way through them is gonna be reckless, so we're gonna have to keep calm and charm our ways through this.

**Constantinos:** Yeah, I don't think a straight-F student like Carver will keep track of his guests, right?

(They walk up to the fence)

**Stanley:** Pardon me, gentlemen. I-

**Security Guard #1:** Nope, don't finish that. Carver personally asked us to ban each of you from this shindig.

**Edward:** I think you're mixing us up. Uh, who *is* invited, in particular?

**Security Guard #2:** Read this fine print.

(The guard takes out a list. The camera quickly pans down the list until it goes all the way down to text that reads "**Basically everyone except for Edward, Eric, Joey, Stanley, Dallas, and Constantinos**")

**Stanley:** Suit yourselves, gentlemen. (they leave)

**Joey:** What was that?! Wouldn't it have just been easier to bash their skulls in?!

**Stanley:** Easy there, Joseph. I never go outside without a backup plan.

(The camera transitions to The Lucky 6 perfectly disguised as the characters from the short-lived Kids' WB series, *Detention*. Edward is Lemonjella, Eric is Emmitt, Joey is Gug, Dallas is Shareena, Constantinos is Duncan, and Stanley is Jim Kim)

**Constantinos:** Hi, we're here for the pool party.

**Secuirty Guard #1:** Sure thing, come right- (catches onto something) Hey! Aren't you supposed to be mute?

**Constantinos:** Oh, right, I have a cold. (clears his throat and takes out a yo-yo, spinning it around and forming a message with the string)

**Yo-Yo Voice:** We're here for the pool party.

**Security Guard #1:** Sorry about that. Come right in. (prepares to open the door, until he sees the real *Detention* group enter the scene)

**Shareena:** Hi, we're here for the pool party.

**Security Guard #2:** Am I seeing double? What's going on here?

**Eric:** (nonchalantly) We're the guys from earlier. We're wearing disguises.

(The security guards and the *Detention* gang angrily stare at The Lucky 6. Eric nervously chuckles, and they get beaten to a pulp)

**Edward:** (some of his organs and pieces of his body are scattered across the ground, and we see his disembodied mouth saying the following) I know a much better idea.

(The camera transitions to the gang walking back to the party. One of the security guards is reading a newspaper, and upon noticing the gang returning, they fold it and stop reading)

**Security Guard #2:** Hey! Aren't you those six twerps from earlier?!

**Edward:** No.

**Security Guard #2:** Oh, ok. (opens the door) Come right in!
