Ello Gov'nor

## Synopsis

Pickle becomes traumatizated over a stupid possessed taxi in a black-and-white British horror film titled, "Ello Gov'nor!"

## Plot

Pickle rents a movie at the Movie Shack Hut. On the way out, he bumps into an employee for the store outside. Pickle makes fun of his "outfit" (he is dressed as the Empire State Building, complete with a gorilla hanging from the top of the lightning rod). As Pickle walks away, the employee shouts, "It's a costume! They make me wear it!"

Back at home, it's movie night for Pickle and Peanut. Peanut picks up the popcorn and Pickle grabs the movie he rented. Peanut thought that they were going to watch the movie *Shy Guy* (which is most likely a love movie), but Pickle complains that he has seen the movie 100 times and that he got something even better, showing Peanut the movie he rented, called *Ello Gov'nor*. The film is a horror movie starring a taxi possessed by the driver's soul seeking vengeance on the gang members responsible for his death, which Peanut refuses to watch. He reminds Pickle that the last time they watched a horror movie, he had to walk him to the bathroom every night for a week. Pickle is still not held back, saying that it's black-and-white, and old and cheesy ("It'll be *hilarious*!"). Peanut finally gives in and turns on the movie, to which Pickle quickly grows fearful from the first encounter with the possessed taxi. When the movie ends, Peanut is asleep, proclaiming the movie is likely cheesy, while Pickle is still in grave terror.

While Peanut is peacefully asleep, Pickle is wide awake and terrified. Pickle gets up and goes to the window, and spots the British taxi. He calls Peanut, but he is still asleep and when Pickle turns around, he sees the taxi directly at the window and runs to Peanut again, trying to get him to wake up by shaking him. Suddenly, Peanut's eyes light up and the British taxi comes out of him. Pickle wakes up screaming, and Peanut is bothered by Pickle's shrieks, telling him to dream about being a tough guy instead. Pickle goes back to sleep and dreams he is a tough guy called "Riggerson/Fists" about to punch a man in an alley when the British taxi appears from nowhere and hits Pickle. He wakes up shrieking again and Peanut gets even more frustrated, resorting to watching "The making of Ello Gov'nor" repeatedly until Pickle conquers his fear. He holds Pickle up to the TV for 3 days, telling him to look at the screen and pointing out the microphone. By the end, they are both worn out, and Pickle finally escapes Peanut's grasp, and throws the tape of the movie at the wall, destroying it. Later, Peanut takes Pickle to Benson's cricket game to try to desensitize him to British people, but they all greet him with the phrase "Ello, Gov'nor" until the British taxi appears yet again, causing Pickle to flee back home in a panic. Peanut explains Pickle's fear to Pops and Skips, to which Pops points out he owns a British taxi of his own.

When Pickle asks what's inside Pops' barn, Pops unlocks the barn and shows them his taxi (which turns out to be a regular taxi). Peanut asks Pickle if he is ready, but Pickle is still scared but of his mind. Peanut tries to assure that everything will be okay, but Pickle decides to go to the bathroom. After Pickle washes his hands, he spots tire marks on the bathroom toilet paper, which sends him running out of the bathroom in a panicked frenzy. When he answers the ringing phone, the caller sounds just like the British taxi and Pickle threw the phone and the fax machine prints out a sheet of paper with the words 'Ello Gov'nor' written on it. Pickle runs and hides in the back of Pops' taxi, and then in the taxi Peanut was asleep and Pops takes a drive through the woods.

The dark woods cause Pickle to tremble, and in his mind's eye, the trees seem to make scary faces and the British Taxi shows up on a constant basis. To make matters worse, the car stops because they have run out of gas then Pickle wakes up Peanut and tell them they are out of gas. When Pickle sees the British taxi coming, Peanut doesn't believe him until they realize it really *is* coming for them. Everyone starts to flee, and the taxi pursues them, destroying everything in its path (including Pops' taxi). Pickle is finally cornered against a tree and when Pops and Peanut try to come to the rescue, the taxi knocks them both unconscious with its front doors. Just when the taxi is about to move in for the kill, Pickle pounces on it in a fit of rage and starts tearing it apart. It is revealed that Pickle merely hit his head and started acting psychotic, and the vehicle pursuing them is actually the employee from the Movie hut, wearing a British taxi costume. He asks for the movie, saying it's way overdue, but Pickle explains that he broke the tape when he threw it against the wall. The worker therefore asks for a fine for the damaged tape. Pops pays for the movie with a lollipop, and Pickle and Peanut drag Pops away.

In bed, Pickle thanks Peanut for helping him facing his fears and dozes off, dreaming that he is a tough guy, (fists) driving the British taxi through outer space saying "So they say this universe is pretty tough. But I'm tougher."
