A Magical Day/Transcript

*[Krusty is shopping at Joe's Convenience Store]*

**Krusty:** *[singing]* Shopping, shopping, shopping at Joe's Convenience Store!

*[scene cuts to Magic]*

**Magic:** "How to Run a Store for Beginners." I'll buy that. *[notices Krusty coming by]* Oh, hey Krusty!

**Krusty:** Magic! What's up?

**Magic:** You ever get inspired by this place?

**Krusty:** Nope.

**Magic:** Well I got inspired! Inspired to open a shop! Now I can sell all of my extra stuff.

**Krusty:** Wow! Can I come?

**Magic:** Sure, I'm planning to open it next week.

*[one week later]*

**Pen:** You sure about this? I don't really care all that much about magic.

**Krusty:** Aren'tcha part ghost? That's pretty magical, isn't it?

**Pen:** Well, I guess so.

**Doc**: I'm excited! I always wondered how those fancy-schmancy magicians do their tricks.

*[they arrive at the store]*

**Pen:** "Magic's Magic," huh? What a great name.

*[they enter Magic's Magic]*

**Magic:** Welcome to Magic's Magic! I see you brought some of your friends along, Krusty.

**Krusty:** Sure did! The lovely Pen, and the great Doc!

**Magic:** Introduce yourself to the wonders of the store.

**Pen:** Not so much of a dump as I expected. This place is really well decorated!

**Doc:** Wow! So much... stuff! I'll take 10 magic sticks, 3 magic hats, a magic rabbit-

**Magic:** Do you really want that many magic sticks? Just get one of each.

**Doc:** But what if I lose one?

**Magic:** Fine. *[does some calculating]* That'll be $69.86 please.

**Doc:** $69.86? I don't have that kind of cash!

**Krusty:** Doc, don't fall behind, we're exploring some more.

**Magic:** I'll come with you. I need to show you something. So this is a part of the store I normally don't let anyone get near, but you lot are special customers, so follow me this way. *[goes down some steps]* This is my little room. It has all of the equipment I use for my tricks.

**Pen:** What's this? *[points to a machine that looks like a time machine]* Is that a time machine?

**Magic:** Oh no, that's a machine for making people disappear. Look, I'll go inside, and once I'm in, Krusty, press that big red button over there.

**Krusty:** Yes sir!

*[Magic goes in the machine, and Krusty presses the button, which teleports Magic somewhere far away]*

**Magic:** Hey, it works! Whew, I've been meaning to test that out. Now I just wait for Krusty to press that button again.

*[back at Magic's Magic]*

**Krusty:** *[checks in the machine]* Magic? Hello? No sign of him. So this thing actually works. But... how do I get Magic back?

*[upstairs]*

**Doc:** I managed to find everything I wanted! Now all that's left to find is Magic so I can pay. Where did he go? I think he went that way, towards those steps. *[goes down the steps]*

**Alarm:** Intruder detected. Intruder detected.

**Doc:** Hi guys! Sorry I hung up a bit there.

**Pen:** Um... Doc?

**Doc:** What's wrong?

**Pen:** Doc! DOC! You triggered the alarm!

**Doc:** Don't worry, Magic can turn it off.

**Krusty:** You don't understand! Magic's not here right now!

**Doc:** Well, where is he then?

**Krusty:** I don't know, he used this machine and disappeared and kablam! He's gone! And I don't know how to bring him back.

*[far, far away]*

**Magic:** Huh? Oh, it's my watch! The alarm's been set off at my shop. Oh, they must have left and come back. I gotta get to them before it's too late! I can't be that far from Germantown. There must be a house here somewhere. *[spots a small cottage]* There's one! *[goes to the cottage]* Hello? Anyone here? I need some help!

**Man:** *[opens the door]* What do you want?

**Magic:** What's the quickest route to Germantown?

**Man:** Germantown? You expect me to know how to get to the lost city of Germantown? *[laughs]*

**Magic:** Germantown ain't lost.

**Man:** I don't know where you're from, kiddo, but there's no way you're getting directions to Germantown. *[slams the door]*

**Magic:** Ugh. I must be far away if Germantown's considered lost around these parts!

*[at Magic's Magic, an angry mob is forming]*

**Cmc:** Where is that cashier? I just want to buy one little hat for my little princess, and this is what I get?

**Joe:** I was going to buy this place's entire stock for... personal business but nobody's even running the cash register!

**Pesron:** I don't know about you, but I know how to open one of those!

*[downstairs]*

**Doc:** Krusty? Aren't you gonna do something?

**Krusty:** I'm trying, but I'm scared I'm going to do the wrong thing!

**Doc:** Well go for it anyway!

**Krusty:** *[pulls a lever]* Okay. Let's hope this works.

*[far, far away]*

**Magic:** It's no use! I- What's happening? Why is everything turning whi- oh, someone must have pulled the lever. Now I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere! Literally!

*[back in Germantown]*

**Pen:** Welp, he's not back. I say we take this with a literal stance. Why wouldn't he say how to bring himself back? Probably because you are supposed to press the same button you pressed originally!

**Krusty:** Good idea, Pen! *[pushes the red button]*

*[Magic is brought back into the store]*

**Magic:** *[exits the machine]* Finally! I see that the alarm's been triggered.

**Pen:** You can thank Doc for that.

**Doc:** Now that you're here, Magic, why don't you turn this off?

**Magic:** One problem. I can only disable the alarm from upstairs and in case you didn't notice, we're now locked in.

**Krusty:** You must have planned some way out, right, Magic?

**Magic:** Indeed I did. And, as much as I regret showing it to you, it's the only escape. There's a hidden trapdoor here that can only opened with this hidden button, leading to a hidden passage leading to a hidden room leading to our hidden exit! Down the trapdoor everyone!

*[everyone goes down the trapdoor]*

**Pen:** All these crystals, they must be worth a fortune!

**Magic:** Yeah, that's how I got the money to open this business.

**Doc:** What a cheater.

**Magic:** Hey, anyone else could've found them!

*[upstairs]*

**Cmc:** Okay, I'm just gonna take the hat and not pay for it. *[tries to leave the shop]*

**Alarm:** Warning! Warning! Burglary alert!

**Cmc:** Oh, come on! I'm not leaving this place until Unnamed Rat gets what she deserves!

**Joe:** Well, I'm going to. *[tries to open the door]* Great, the door won't budge!

**Pesron:** Yeah, this place seems to have high security. Now that it's detected a "burglar" it's locked all the exits!

*[downstairs]*

**Krusty:** Woah, that's the biggest crystal yet! *[tries to touch it]*

**Magic**: Don't touch that! That's the Magic Diamond. If it breaks the art of magic would break down with it!

**Pen:** How did you?

**Magic:** I decided to build the shop right above the Magic Diamond. You know, for convenience. It doesn't even belong to me.

**Doc:** Is the way out clear yet?

**Magic:** We just have to go all the way up there. *[points to a high-up lever]*

**Krusty:** How are we supposed to reach that?

**Magic:** By making it through that dangerous path. *[points to a passage in the cave]*

**Pen:** What? How are we supposed to make it through there?

**Krusty:** With our skill and patience, of course. Let's go!

**Magic:** Or we could just take the-

*[everyone takes the difficult passage]*

**Magic:** -much safer path. Alright, I'm coming!

*[in the passage]*

**Doc:** What is that down there, goo?

**Pen:** Looks like poison acid. We gotta make it through this incredibly thin walkway!

**Krusty:** All while avoiding the many stalactites above us.

**Magic:** Hang on!

**Krusty:** Yeah, what is it, Magic?

**Magic:** You're going the wrong way! You have to go past the acid there and get to the other side!

**Doc:** But how do we do that?

**Pen:** Only one way. We have to use our brains.

**Krusty:** We could just risk our lives.

**Pen:** Definitely not!

**Doc:** What about retreating and relaxing?

**Pen:** Not that either. My idea is to use these rocks as stepping stones.

*[dramatic music plays while they all cross. Krusty nearly falls off a rock but Magic saves him.]*

**Magic:** Wow, we made it!

**Pen:** Victory!

**Doc:** Woohoo!

**Krusty:** Hey, thanks for saving my life there, Magic.

**Magic:** No problem. Now just follow me and we should be at the lever.

*[Magic reaches the lever]*

**Magic:** Who wants to pull the lever?

**Krusty:** Me!

**Pen:** You've pulled enough levers today, Krusty. I'll pull the lever. *[she pulls the lever, opening a trapdoor and revealing a stairway]*

**Doc:** This way!

*[they go up]*

**Magic:** Ahh, the sweet smell of fresh air. Now I gotta dash to my shop! I'll see you later, you three!

**Everyone:** Bye!

**Magic:** Now I have to sort everything out! *[tries to open the door]* Great, the door's locked. Where are my keys again? Found them! *[opens the door to reveal an angry mob]* Oh my.

**Joe:** Freedom! *[runs out]*

**Cmc:** Come on, Unnamed Rat, we can finally go home!

**Magic:** Whoa, whoa, whoa, did you pay for that hat?

**Cmc:** No.

**Magic:** Well, pay up.

**Cmc:** *[pays for the hat]* What took you so long?

**Magic:** Sorry about that. I was a bit, uh... stuck.

**Pesron:** I was about to lose my breath in there! It's already nighttime... now I missed my favourite show!

**Magic:** Oh, well. Another day, another premiere.

*[episode ends with an iris wipe]*
