## Transcript

Dylan: Okay, officers. Listen up! We have a new officer coming to work today! He is a dingo named “Steve”.

Alex: Wait, that isn’t “Steve Edwards” is it?

Dylan: Yes, his name is “Steve Edwards”.

Alex: I’m screwed.

Dylan: How come?

Alex: Steve Edwards is my cousin. He’s been pranking me for years, ever since I was 4.

(The Big Laugh is playing while we see flashbacks of Alex getting pranked by Steve)

Alex: Can you fire him?

Dylan: (laughs) No! I can’t fire a new guy! Look, how’s this? He stays, but if he pranks you, we help you prank him back.

Alex: Uhh, fine.

Dylan: Great.

(cut to Alex on a computer)

Alex: It’s okay, Alex! He’ll get fired if he pranks you!

(he hears Dylan)

Dylan: So Steve, do you know any employees here?

Steve: I think my cousin works here.

Dylan: Alex? He seemed excited when I announced you were coming! (he enters Alex’s office) Hey Alex!

Steve: Alex!

Alex: Hey Dylan! (less excited voice) Hey Steve.

Steve: It’s been a while, man! Nice to see you again! (he shakes Alex’s hand)

Alex: Yeah, well. I’ve been busy… (he looks at his hand and sees a load of ants) Aaah!

Steve: (laughs) Dylan, we’re gonna have a good time with our old buddy, Alex!

Alex: (grunts and walks off)

Dylan: What a moron!

(Alex walks off to Kyle’s house, he knocks on the door and Kyle shouts)

Kyle: Broken foot! Who is it?

Alex: It’s me, bro!

Kyle: Oh, come in!

(Kyle is lying on a chair with a broken foot)

Alex: Dude, you’ve had a broken foot for like two weeks now and you haven’t moved from that couch?

Kyle: I’ve been trying! Anyway, what’s up? Aren’t you supposed to be at work for another two hours?

Alex: Yeah, well. My cousin’s there.

Kyle: Who? Will?

Alex: No, Steve! My cousin who always pranks me!

Kyle: Oh, right.

Alex: I need to prank him back! And I need my friend back!

Kyle: I have a broken foot!

Alex: Ugh. (he grabs Kyle, takes him to the hospital, puts him in a wheelchair and they both walk out) Come on, help me.

Kyle: Fine, then. I’ll help you.

(cut to the city hall)

Alex: Dylan! Kyle’s back, are you going to help me now?

Dylan: Haha! No! When I saw Steve prank you, I couldn’t stop myself from laughing in my head! You’re on your own, man!

Alex: You still in, dude?

Kyle: Uhh, it’s a prank war. That’s 1v1, so sorry, but, no.

Alex: Ugh.

(1 Hour Later)

Steve: Hey Alex!

Alex: What?

(Steve has a pistol)

Steve: Look at what I found down in a cell! Do you want to be a target?

Alex: Dude! You can’t shoot me!

Steve: I can! (he aims it at Alex)

(Alex runs)

Alex: I KNEW HE WAS FULL OF IT!

Steve: Alex! Come back!

(Alex runs into the cell, takes a shotgun and aims it at him)

Alex: I’m warning you, Steve! Don’t shoot me!

Steve: Hmm. Nope. (he fires as Alex quickly closes his eyes and puts his hands on his head)

(3 seconds pass, nothing has happened)

Steve: (laughs) Unloaded gun! Gets them every time!

Alex: Dude, that’s not funny. I could have shot you!

Steve: I unloaded all of the guns, idiot!

Alex: (he grunts again and walks off)

(cut to the next day)

Alex: Hey Steve, can you help me with something?

Steve: Sure, what do you need?

Alex: I need you to lift this box in my office!

Steve: Fine.

(cut to the office)

Alex: It’s just that one there! (he points to a box, Steve goes to lift and Alex places a camera on a shelf, the screen zooms into the camera’s sight, the majority of the episode is now through the camera’s perspective)

Alex: So, I’ll just leave, give you some space… (he opens the door and leaves)

(Steve lifts the box, but then drops it, a popping noise can be heard and suddenly paint goes everywhere)

Steve: What just happened? (Alex can be heard in the background)

Alex: You just got pranked, loser! There’s been a camera filming you this whole time, too!

(Steve looks at the camera and the camera is now in his perspective)

(Steve opens the door)

Steve: ALEX!

(Alex is not happy)

Alex: Crud! (he starts running)

Steve: DON’T YOU DARE PRANK ME! (he smashes a hole in the wall)

Alex: Think about it!

Steve: IT’S THIS STUPID CAMERA! (he throws the camera on the floor, the episode is no longer through the camera’s perspective)

Steve: Come here, you douchebag!

(he turns around a corner and slips on a skateboard, which takes him to the stairs, he falls down them and when he’s stopped, a basketball hits him)

Alex: You just got pranked, loser!

Steve: Not cool, man.

Alex: Admit it, it was funny!

Steve: I’m not admitting anything!

Alex: Man, I gotta put that video online!

Steve: You can’t, I smashed the camera.

Alex: Shame, that was Dylan’s too.

Steve: Well, heh, I guess it was funny.

Alex: And I can just take the SD Card and put it online!

Steve: Haha, nice! But, please don’t, man!

Alex: I won’t, but are we both even?

Steve: Yeah, I never knew you had that pranking power in you.

Alex: So are you still gonna be a cop here?

Steve: Nope, to be honest, I only came here to prank you.

Alex: Okay, what even were you?

Steve: I was jobless.

Alex: Oh.

(Mike walks along and sees the SD Card, he picks it up)

Mike: Heh, hahahaha.

(a computer screen shows a site called “Videos 4 U”, it says “99% Uploaded, the episode ends off with a video)

Alex: So everybody, I’m about to prank my cousin, there’s paint, skateboards and stairs involved! Let’s go. (he opens a door) Hey Steve, can you help me with something?

(the screen goes fuzzy and goes straight to the following)

Alex: So, I’ll just leave, give you some space…

(Steve lifts the box, but then drops it, a popping noise can be heard and suddenly paint goes everywhere)

Steve: What just happened?

Alex: You just got pranked, loser!

(the screen goes fuzzy and goes straight to the following)

Alex: Crud! (he starts running)

Steve: DON’T YOU DARE PRANK ME! (he smashes a hole in the wall)

Alex: Think about it!

Steve: IT’S THIS STUPID CAMERA! (he throws the camera on the floor)

(the screen goes fuzzy and goes straight to the following)

(Steve can be seen running and turning around, you can hear a skateboard, a lot of banging and finally a basketball bouncing)

(the screen goes fuzzy and switches off)
