Jerry Coolatta (Dimension-53622)

## History

### Tommy Coolatta's Day Off

As Rick goes to snag Tommy, he sees the new table that Jerry bought. He sees that it doesn't fit the room, and that you can't even wiggle around it. He notes that this is exactly something Jerry would do.

Later, when Rick sends Tommy and Jonesy through the portal to Baldi's Basics, Jerry shows up, and asks if he can come with them. Rick yells at him, and Jerry calls him rude. Rick asks him if that comes as a shock or not, then calls Jerry a disappointment, and sends him through a random portal.

### Finding Jerry

After remembering where he put Jerry, Rick sends Tommy to the universe his dad has been stuck in for a week. Tommy lands on the ground and looks around. Thinking he is in Oklahoma and fearing the worst, he starts to panic, before hearing the sound of his dad’s voice from behind him. Tommy turns around to see Jerry, who greets his son with open arms. Jerry explains that he has no reason to be scared and that Tommy is in a small town in which Jerry has been living in the last couple of days. Tommy is very confused, but Jerry reassures him that it’s a fun place, full of “little critters”. Jerry then notices a member of the town named Kiki, who was getting their mail. Jerry brings Tommy over to Kiki, and they both greet the cat. Kiki begins to speak to the two in Animalese, which neither of the two humans can understand, but this doesn’t stop Jerry who claims to understand what Kiki just said. Jerry then attempts to speak back to Kiki in Animalese but ends up doing a racist impression of the language. This results in Kiki speaking in English to Tommy, whispering to him that Jerry has been an absolute nuisance the last couple of days and that Tommy needs to get him out now. Jerry attempts to cut the conversation off by telling Tommy that he couldn’t understand Kiki since he was “speaking another language”.

Tommy then attempts to get Jerry to leave, but Jerry is adamant about giving Tommy a tour. First, Jerry shows Tommy a map of the island, then shows him the train station. He mentions to him that he has never seen a train come by ever. Jerry then spots another critter who lives in the village and attempts to introduce him to Tommy. Jerry tells his son that the duck is named Cody and that they are friends, to which Cody responds frightened, claiming that he has never met Jerry in his life. Jerry insists that the two have met, and Tommy tries to get his dad to drop the whole thing, but Jerry doesn’t listen and attempts to give Cody a hug, prompting him to run off in fear. Tommy yells at his dad, but Jerry just assures Tommy that that’s just how people act in the town. Tommy reminds his dad that Cody just cried and ran away from him, to which Jerry reminds Tommy that that is exactly what Beth did when Jerry and her first met. Jerry then attempts to show Tommy something else, but they are interrupted by a cat in a mask, which Jerry refers to as a Masked Bandit. He tells Tommy that Masked Bandits are evil, and that he should go over and smash it on the head. When Tommy doesn’t want to do that, Jerry runs over with a crowbar and starts to smack the Masked Bandit over the head. The Masked Bandit starts to run away, but is chased by Jerry, who is being chased by Tommy.

The three eventually stop running, and the Masked Bandit offers to show Tommy where Jerry has been living. Jerry attempts to stop this from happening, but the Masked Bandit brings Tommy over to the dump. Jerry tries to explain away why people would think he was living there, but ultimately goes back to what he was doing, and starts to hit the Masked Bandit again. Tommy eventually gets his dad to stop, and Jerry starts to lecture Tommy about the town, telling him that he, “just wouldn’t get it.” Jerry then brings Tommy to his “actual” house, but they are then approached by a duck who asks Jerry why he is standing outside his house. Jerry panics and tells the duck that he’s confused, to which the duck begins to get angry and yells at Jerry. Tommy asks to speak with the duck privately, and Jerry wanders off. Tommy apologizes to the duck, and the duck explains that Jerry keeps breaking into people’s homes and stealing things and that the whole town wants him gone. Tommy agrees to get Jerry to leave, as soon as they finish the tour. Before their conversation ends, the duck mentions that Jerry has only a single friend in the town, and it’s some weird guy who stops by and talks to Jerry sometimes. Tommy apologizes once more, before walking over to where his dad is. Jerry turns around and begins to pee on Tommy, as Jerry forgot to zip up his pants. Jerry explains that he pees over the hill they were standing on.

Jerry then brings Tommy over to the post office and tells his son that he has been sending him messages, but isn’t sure why they aren’t getting to him. Jerry then sings Tommy an “ancient critter song”. He then brings Tommy over to a pond where he fishes often, and claims he catches tons of fish. Tommy continues to pretend he cares, as Jerry shows him the museum, where Jerry casually mentions he has been stealing from. They are then approached by Chungles, who Jerry introduces as Bob. Before Jerry can embarrass himself anymore, Tommy leads him away to a lighthouse he saw earlier. Jerry mentions that he got a tour of the lighthouse once, and he paid a hundred dollars for the tour. Tommy is shocked to hear this price, to which Jerry explains that the tour itself was free, but he felt bad not paying them. Jerry then tries to get Tommy to swim, but Tommy finds a random excuse to not swim. Jerry sees the Able Sisters store and tries to get inside, but the store is closed.

Tommy then notices the memorial for the mayor, who recently died. Jerry explains that he died only days previously, when someone accidentally bumped a ladder he was on, which caused the mayor to fall and snap his neck. When Tommy asks when this happened, Jerry casually admits that he believes he bumped the ladder only a day ago. Before Tommy can question what his dad just said, another townsfolk comes up and talks to Jerry. Her name is Ankha, and she clearly makes Jerry nervous. Jerry tells Ankha to leave since Tommy is around and that they can talk later. After Ankha leaves, Jerry handwaves the topic away by saying, “You know Egyptian women!” and chuckling. Jerry then tries to tell Tommy that he isn’t sure if he wants to go home or not, but their conversation is interrupted by Tommy being hit by a bike. On the bike was a critter named Knievel. Tommy began to argue with Knievel, yelling at him about hitting him with his bike. While they argued, Jerry took Knievel’s bike and pushed it into the ocean behind them. Knievel gets mad at this and starts going off on Jerry, listing off the bad things he has done, including killing the mayor and sleeping with Ankha. To shut Knievel up, Jerry pulls out a revolver and shoots Knievel in the head.

Running now, Jerry leads Tommy over to where he has actually been living the whole time, claiming nobody on the island knows about it. Jerry then begins to break down, as he lets his happy facade leave. He cries to his son, telling him how badly he wants to go home, and that everyone on the island hates him. He shows Tommy the empty book he has been reading, his small fishing pond, and his toilet pile. While he shows Tommy this stuff, another member of the town appears. This time, it’s the small friend that Jerry has been talking to, and his name is Katt. Katt starts to creep Jerry and Tommy out, and Katt notes that Jerry’s fishing pond is only a puddle. Jerry and Tommy quickly run off, and Tommy tries to get a full explanation out of Jerry. Jerry swears he was only trying to get people to like him, and Tommy asks if he cheated on Beth, to which Jerry doesn’t give a real answer. As they begin to climb up the side of a hill, they noticed Katt is right behind them. The two begin to climb quicker, as Jerry swears he has something to show Tommy that might help. They eventually make it to where Jerry was trying to get to, and Jerry shows Tommy his pile of random stuff he found. Tommy asks what it is, and Jerry explains that he thought the stuff could be used to make a portal home.

As Jerry explains this to Tommy, Katt gets into a spaceship he built and begins to fire at Tommy. As Jerry watches his son get shot at, a portal opens up and Rick jumps out. He is shocked to see Jerry alive and tells him he’s proud, but Jerry is too scared to care and just begs Rick to take him home. Rick, feeling less proud, drops a portal and Jerry and jumps into it.
