Space Tea

Mee needs Space Tree to pose as his wife while his boss comes over for dinner. Will they be able to fool him? Or will Mee panic and shoot his boss in the head? Maybe both.

## Transcript

*(roll opening credits)*

*(open to Commander holding a ladder)*

**COMMANDER:** Well, I don't see why we should have to be doing this. We have a robot for this kind of hard-labor bull crap.

*(cut to Space Tree at the top of the ladder, holding a paintbrush)*

**SPACE TREE:** Well, I do. It's just... I keep forgetting to change it's batteries. Now just shut up and hold the ladder steady.

*(one of Mee's portals opens up next to him)*

**SPACE TREE:** Hey, what the-

*(Mee comes out of the portal, knocking Space Tree off the ladder)*

**COMMANDER:** Hey, I was holding it steady. That was your fault.

*(Mee comes down the ladder)*

**MEE:** Space Tree! You're just the cat I'm lookin' for. Quickly now, no questions axed. I need you to pose as my wife while my boss comes over here for dinner.

**SPACE TREE:** What the hell are you talking abo-

**MEE:** I SAID "NO QUESTIONS ASKED"! NOW SHUT UP AND GET IN THAT KITCHEN AND MAKE US SOME TEA!!

**SPACE TREE:** But I don't have any-

*(Mee hands him some teabags)*

**MEE:** Here's some friggin' teabags. Now go! He'll be here any minute!

**SPACE TREE:** OK, OK. *(he walks out)*

**COMMANDER:** Heh heh. You tell 'im, man.

**MEE:** And you, whatever your name is, I need you to pose as my brother-in-law who just got out of prison. And just for the hell of it, every word you say has to start with a vowel.

**COMMANDER:** You got it. I mean... I abide, amigo. Heh heh...

*(Mee's boss shows up)*

**MR BOSS:** MA-RO-NEEEEE!!!

**COMMANDER:** ... What the hell's he talking about?

**MEE:** Oh, that's my last name. *(to Mr. Boss)* Yes sir, welcome to my house, and here comes my wife right now with the tea.

*(Space Tree re-enters with a tray of mugs)*

**SPACE TREE:** Uh... hello.

*(pause; cut to Commander & S to the Tree)*

**SPACE TREE:** *(coughs)*

**COMMANDER:** Uh, anyway... I arrived around about-

*(gunfire)*

**SPACE TREE:** What the hell are you doing?!?

*(cut to see Mee has shot his boss in the head)*

**MEE:** I-I don't know! I panicked! He was about to blow our cover- I- We've been made! I don't...

**SPACE TREE:** Well, now we've got a dead guy here on my ship. You better do something about this before I call the cops.

**COMMANDER:** I agree.

**MEE:** All right, all right, uh, here's what we'll do, uh... we'll eat him!

*(Both Space Tree and Commander are disgusted)*

**COMMANDER:** Ugh. Ugh.

**SPACE TREE:** Ugh, no. No friggin' way.

**MEE:** You-You're right, you're right. That was stupid. Uh... we'll drink him!

**SPACE TREE:** Ugh, no!

**COMMANDER:** I'll accomplish announced idea.

**SPACE TREE:** What? You mean you're gonna drink this guy?

**COMMANDER:** Uh... OK. *(pulls out thesaurus and reading glasses)* Imaginably... inapplicable... *although*, I *am* in occupancy... of an exceedingly appropriate idea...

**MEE:** *(whispering to Space Tree)* What did he just say?

*(cut to a tea store with the sign "TEA (not made from a dead guy)"; on the window, a sign reads "Ask about our bagel sandwiched")*

**SPACE TREE:** Oh, man, this is just disgusting. If anyone asks, I had nothing to do with it.

*(Mee and the Commander are behind the counter; Mee has a "my name is Mee" sticker on; the Commander's reads "my name is Rupert")*

**MEE:** Well, that's fine with me, man. I mean, we were gonna cut you in on the profits, but now I guess we'll just be splitting it 60/40. *(holds up an arrow with a 60 pointing to him on one side, turns it around so a 40 is pointing to the Commander on the other)*

**COMMANDER:** Affirmative.

**SPACE TREE:** Oh, really? Well, *(holds up coffee mug)* forget what I just said.

*(the Commander's nametag has changed to "my name is Travis")*

**MEE:** Well, we can't forget it now, we've got the whole thing on tape! *(holds up tape recorder)*

**SPACE TREE:** Oh, well... screw you both! *(tosses coffee mug away and exits)*

**MEE:** Heh, I gotta tell you, man. This is one great idea you had. Once we sell enough of these "teas" *(holds up a cup of tea)*, I'll be able to afford to change my identity, and then, *(cut to under the counter, where Mr. Boss' corpse lies)* I'll just have to bury this body here, and that will be that.

**COMMANDER:** Acknowledgement.

**MEE:** You know, you can stop the whole vowel thing now. It's getting pretty annoying.

**SPESHDIV ROBOT:** *(offscreen)* DROP YOUR WEAPONS; YOU'RE SURROUNDED!!

**MEE:** What the-

*(he's knocked over by a black fist; the SpeshDiv robot (with a "police" sticker taped to him) rolls into the store)*

**SPESHDIV ROBOT:** Meelord Marone, you are under arrest, for *(each crime he says comes out as a knife on his body)* murder, conspiracy to conceal murder, kidnapping, and treason.

**MEE:** *(being led away)* Oh, come on man, I only did 3 of those.
