CUT TO: the Undahpants walking out of the house, followed by Moog and Tim

MISTY
We'll be cooking if you need us. We have

your mother's birthday party to throw.

SABRINA
Bye, hon.

TIM
Bye-bye, ladies.

MOOGLE
Bye.

The Undahpants leave; Tim puts an arm around Moog. Moog hugs him.

TIM
You okay?

MOOGLE
Yeah.

TIM
It wasn't always bad, kiddo. Do what I do. Think

about the good times. Let that be what sticks with

you.

MOOGLE
What are you, some kind of saint?

TIM
That's me. Saint Tim of Crunksville. Patron saint of

nutcases.

Tim looks at him, gives him another hug

TIM
Bye.

CUT TO: Moog going for a walk in the more business-y section of Crunksville. He passes by a CAR DEALERSHIP and stops, staring at it – sticking with the good times. We FADE FROM the empty roof of the dealership to

EXT. DEALERSHIP – DAY – FLASHBACK

where the only thing that's really changed is the roof, which is now adorned with a giant, tacky, purple inflatable gorilla. And four small figures all in black: Jess, and little!Pro, Reb, and Moog. We cut close on them; Jess has a spy-like utility belt on.

MOOGLE

… isn't this illegal, mom?

JESS
(looks at him)
So?

REB
What are we gonna do with a monkey?

JESS

… you know what, nobody asks any questions anymore.

Is that clear?

REB

… alright.

Jess takes a knife out of her belt and grabs hold of one of the ropes. One of the workers at the dealership shouts at them from the ground, causing them all to jump

WORKER
HEY! What the hell are you doing up there?

Pro peers over the edge

PRONOUN

She said no questions, mister.

Jess walks over to join Pro, along with the other kids

JESS
Can I help you, sir?

WORKER

… I know you, you're that Jess woman! You're trying

to steal the monkey, aren't you!

JESS

(bites her lip)

… I'll buy it from you.

WORKER

… what?

JESS
(takes her walletthing off her belt, goes through it)

I'll pay you… a whole dollar and nineteen cents.

WORKER
Nice try, lady.

JESS
No, you just wait right there! I'll be back in thirty

minutes with cash! Don't move! Come on, kids.

She leads them offscreen; we CUT TO Jess's car pulling into her driveway. She runs inside and finds Tim at the kitchen table, reading

JESS
Tim! Can I have some money?

TIM
(looks up from his book)
For what?

JESS

The monkey from the dealership.

TIM
No.

JESS
Tim!

TIM

What the hell would we do with that monkey

monstrosity?

JESS

Uh, excuse me, I think the question is, what

the hell WOULDN'T we do!

TIM

I'm not paying for it.

JESS

… fine! Fine! But mark my words, Timur, I will

get that monkey.

She stomps back outside and to the car, where the kids are waiting. She gets in and drives off

CUT TO: INT. RED HOUSE – DAY

Jess runs in, followed by Moog. They skid into the kitchen where Sam is cooking.

SAMWISE
Hullo, Jess.

JESS
Tubby! How much will you pay me to mow your

lawn?

SAMWISE
… well, I just mowed it –

JESS
It's looking a little shabby to me.

SAMWISE
Just this morning –

MOOGLE
It's okay, Mom, let's just forget it. I don't need a

monkey.

JESS
Moogle Brofloski!
(takes her sunglasses off and looks at him)
Don't you ever, ever let me hear you utter those

words again, do you understand?

Moogle smiles

JESS
It's okay Tubby. I've got another idea.

Jess grins; we CUT TO her car pulling up to a huge house. Through the windows we can see different coloured sparks shooting off inside. Jess walks up to the door and rings the bell. After a few minutes, some screaming and a few crashes, ASHES opens it, holding a baby in each arm and a toddler on her shoulders, looking flustered. The pandemonium continues behind her; her eyes narrow when she sees Jess

ASHES

… what is it, Jess.

JESS
Say, you wouldn't happen to need a babysitter,

would ye Ashes?

ASHES

… Grandpa bless you.

JESS
$20 an hour, as usual?

ASHES
Yeah, of course.

JESS

Could you pay me now? Say… for five hours' worth?

ASHES
… what?

JESS
Pay me in advance.

ASHES
… well, I guess so…

Ashes waves her hand and her purse floats towards her, amidst flying childrens' toys. She waves her hand and cash floats out of it and towards Jess. Jess catches it and counts. Ashes starts to hand one of the kids over to Jess to discover that Jess is already running away

JESS
Thanks so much! I'll get back to you on that babysitting

thing!
