SCRIPT
Intro
"This is the story of Oliver and Lopez. It is a story about two funky cool guys: Bo and Legif (the g is silent). Our story starts on an autumn morning 132 years after the death of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. Both Bo and Legif (or Legif and Bo, depending on your perspective) are seniors at Bloomington High School North. Oliver and Lopez have been red-shirted due to a crazy ludicrous insane stupid underwater magic car explosion during the early stages of filming. Oh well. Fly your flags at half staff and forget about it. Chemistry is not their favorite class. Hanson blows. Bo and Legif are happy to finally be seniors, because if they pass, they can graduate unless they have overdue library books or are caught smashing gourds again. Coolness. Don't play with matches except with adult supervision or underwater."
During the above, the following is happening: wake up, eat cereal, football, brush teeth, slam car door, honk horn, drive, gravel road, normal road, drive up sidewalk at school, walk into school, open locker.
(In hall)
Legif: Guess what I got yesterday for my nephew’s birthday?
Bo: did you get another water bottle yet?
Legif: No
Bo: did you get that pirate legos set?
Legif: No, I got that new purple mountain bike that we were spotttin at barrows last month.
Bo: oh my goodness, you’re talking about the Z3F Oakley mountain tricycle?!?!
Legif: yep that’s the one.
Bo: so did your nephew give it to you?
Legif: yep. He thought that a mountain tricycle was a stupid idea. I think him giving it away was a stupid idea.
Bo: I wish I had a stupid nephew.
Legif: Well, I gotta go test out my new virus in the computer lab. I’ll see you after school.
After school (Tuesday) in car
Legif: man, school sucks.
Bo: Yeah Mrs. Etch-a-sketch gave me an after school for erasing all of Billy’s homework, and rambling about cheez-it’s the whole time.
Legif: Man I’m thirsty, have you seen my starvin marvin water bottle. It should still have that crystal clear sprite from last Saturday. I haven’t seen it since Sunday.
Bo: no. It’ll probably be stale by the time you find it anyway. I feel cold. What’s wrong with your car?
Legif: It’s hot in here
Bo: I can’t find my lighter!
Legif: where did u leave it?
(someone yells ‘Chester’)
Bo: I don’t know I think it was with your water bottle when we were trying to boil that sprite stuff.
Legif: well. I hope you find it soon, I know how attached you are to that thing.
Bo: yeah, me too. I just don’t feel like a man without it.
Legif: talk about u hear what Chester did today? dissin’ cheez-its. He thinks he’s all good Sayin cheetos better.
Bo: Chester really buggin me lately. Wish way to rid of him.
Legif: we could choke him.
Bo: Yeah. Let’s find him at about 5. I’ll meet you in front of his house by the blue bush.
Legif: cool, I’ll bring the bags.
Bo: I’ll see you later.
Legif: yep
Legif drops Bo off at Michael’s house. Legif goes home.
Trqee: Hi! How was school?
Legif: OK, but boring.
Trqee: you got a letter from the American Agency of Retired People wanting you to run for re-election.
Legif: Not again. I did last year. Tell them, I’m dead.
Trqee: OK.
(he leaves)
AT CHESTERS
Bo: what took you so long?
Legif: I couldn’t find the blue bush again. Here comes Chester, what are we gonna say?
Bo: tell him we got the new Power Rangers basketball, and we need a fourth player so we can play three on three.
Legif: cool. (they approach Chester) hey. Did you hear what Bo got?
Chester: no
Bo: I got the new official power rangers super power monster ball. Do you want to play three on three with Gary Kasparov and us?
Chester: yeah, cool, let’s go.
(Legif gets bags out of pocket and gives one to Bo. They count to three and then Bo hold’s Chester down, and Legif puts a bag over his head. Bo puts many bags around his feet and hands. While he suffocates, they kick him and verbally abuse him.)
NEXT DAY
Trqee: remember, you need to mow Mr. Valquredo’s lawn today, and you have to water the roof and feed the chia pet..
Legif: Aww, mom, can’t Barjt do it this time?.
Trqee: no, it’s your turn.
Legif: but mom, it’s always my turn. Oh well.
(he leaves)
Trqee: where has Chester been lately, he hasn’t come to dig through the trash lately.
Legif is shown driving to Valquredo’s yard to mow. (He starts mowing. He keeps mowing. He finishes mowing. He collapses)
