Won’t you be my neighbor? J: Well, it may have taken a while. The weather may have fried us one day and drowned us the next. But we’ve all put a lot of hard work into it and it’s finally done. Felix, welcome to your new home! FX: Thanks a lot, Artukei. I owe you. J: (shakes his head) Ie. Friends carry no debts. Gumdrop: Alright! My own house! (runs into the house) FX: Gumdrop! G: (jumping on the bed) Me likey bouncy! Me likey bouncy! FX: Get off of there! J: Gummy, this isn’t your house. G: But I can’t go back to my room. There’s an evil monkey that lives in my closet! J: Gummy, who you tryin’ to fool? Everybody knows you don’t have a closet. You don’t even have your own room for that matter. G: ..... Oh yeah. (hops off) J: Enjoy, man. If you need us, we’re right across the lawn. FX: Thanks. J: (leaves) FX: (walks over to his drum set, starts playing for a little while) “knock knock” FX: Huh? (gets up, opens the door) Artukei? ???: Hello! FX: (looks down) G: (wearing an apron, a red bandana, and holding a plate of pancakes) Jemima’s witnesses. Y’all want some pancakes? “SLAM!” G: *sigh* (shakes his head) No sense of humor. (devilish grin) I’m gonna have some fun with this cat. “ring ring” FX: (picks up his cell) Hello? ???: Hello.

FX: Thanks, but I’m not really... ???: You can have a thermos, a car air freshener, a set of napkin rings, or your own bootleg copy of Star Wars III. FX: What? ???: It’s your choice, Mr. Felix. Or, if none of those pique your fancy, we have 500 other gifts you can choose from. Such as... FX: Sorry, but no thanks. (hangs up) “ring ring” FX: Hello? ???: Hello, Mr. Flex. I’d like to talk to you about your long distance service. FX: (hangs up) “ring ring” FX: Yeah? ???: That was very rude, Mr. Flex. Forget your long distance service. I would now like to talk to you about your people skills. FX: *groan* (hangs up) “ring ring” FX: What?! ???: *heavy breathing* FX: GRRR!! (hangs up) “ring ring” FX: WHAT!?! A: Hey! FX: 0.0\/ Aisha?
