"The Moppet Family..."

[theprawncracker]

Me...work with...that?!?!?! How...why...?!?!

Well, how much does the job pay?

(AC: This is also the first time Jack talks to Mr. Harvey. But, that's because the two actors were never in the same room together, because the actor playing Mr. Harvey was allergic to Jack's hair. He risked it just to be in this memorable scene. It was nominated for an Oscar award, but was sadly beaten by a monkey and a koala doing the polka.)

 

[Beauregard]

What...Dan-Dan? What? soup. Ok. I'm with you.

*nods to jack and Da-Dan, and leaves*

I'll take the car. Oh, and Mr Harvey, welcome to the family, we just recently re-did the spare room with a new chest of drawers and sofa-bed that arn't fire-proof, but, our house isn't on fire, so they'll be fine.

Alright, we have all of dad's furniture from his study, WHOOPS! This is some of Grandma's stuff, get it outta' here so Uncle Adam doesn't turn us into naked ferrets or something... LOTS of plushies because my dog is very sadistic... and why we get along so well... and what's left of the car for good measure. Okay, so let's start this thing up and... hmm, I forgot to get matches. Hey Ted, you got any matches? NO!? Well what are we gonna' do!?

Hmm... this looks like we could either quickly run to the store and pick some matches up... OR we could go on a ridiculous adventure to aquire some matches... and Twinkies, man we haven't gotten junk food since like, page 15.

Well guys, whaddya' say?

Translation: But that furniture is nice and seasoned!!! It will burn really well! Gas, we need lots of gas. Oh, and I have a flamethrower somewhere around here... I say let's go and get some Twinkies first though, definitely!

 

[The Count]

Hmmm, wonder where my daughters have gotten off to now. And here I was, ready to sit down in this nice comfy armchair and read them a new story...
Oh well, guess I'll just read it quietly here to myself.

AC: For the purposes of this scene, the Cole daughters were not avialable when called into the studio and...
Adam: What do you mean they weren't available?!? They're my daughters and we live together. In the same house and everything. Heck, we're a family for crying out loud.
You stop this AC nonsense about actors and people not being there or so help me... I'll turn you into a naked molerat!
AC: Ah yes... The Cole daughters were playing in their front yard unaware their father was waiting to read them a new story. *Cringes.
Adam: That's better.

 

[TogetherAgain]

Tabby: <perks up> Did you hear something?

Ann: You mean besides you talking?

Kelly: What'd you hear, Tabby?

Tabby: It sounded like... like...

Ann: Like those weird voices we keep hearing that call themselves "AC"?

Tabby: EXACTLY! It sounded like one of them was arguing with Daddy.

Kelly: But... why would the voices argue with Daddy?

Ann: Maybe Daddy got sick of them. But if they're arguing, we should leave them alone, and stay out here...

Kelly: Except that it's starting to rain...

Ann: It is?

Kelly: It is.

Ann: <feels raindrop on nose> Eek! It is! Let's go inside.

Tabby: <running around in the rain> I love rain!

Ann: Tabby! Come inside!

Tabby: But I love rain!

Ann: <to Kelly> I can't believe I'm about to do this, but... <to Tabby> If we go inside, maybe we'll figure out what Daddy and the voices were arguing about.

Kelly: If they were arguing.

Tabby: Last one in is a rotten egg!

Ann: Actually, in this case, last one in is a wet kitten... hey wait for me!

<girls run inside>

 

[Vic Romano]

Oh that's right! I forgot you had a flamethrower, the Burn Blaster 3000 that I got you for Christmas. Anyway, let's go get some junk food before the Bar-b-q.

*Hop in car and head off to the Qwicky Mart*

 

[The Count]

Oh ho! Are those my kittens three I aspy coming down the hall?
No, guess not, must've been one of the ghosties down in the cellar. Gee, guess that means noone wants to hear this nice little story I've been reading. Seems it centers around a goodbye song of sorts.

 

[TogetherAgain]

Ann, Kelly, and Tabby: DADDY!

Ann: THERE you are!

Tabby: Daddy, I ran around in the rain and it was fun!

Kelly: Ooh, are you reading a story?

Ann, Kelly, and Tabby: STORY?!? Oh please read it to us, Daddy, please?

 

[The Count]

There you are. Been running around in the rain? Well that's good, at least so long as you dry yourselves off afterwards. Don't want you catching cold. And no Tabby dear, a cold's not something you can catch in your hands. Sometimes I just love to hear a good thunderstorm, brings a smile to my face.
*Mind wanders a bit.

Oh sorry, yes... Sit yourselves down and we'll have ourselves a good yet tearful read.
