Stick it to the manager
(Episode starts at the Campus arcade James, Chad and Luke walk inside)
Luke: I'm gonna show the whole arcade who's boss! I'm gonna bust some moves at the dance machine.
James: Dance machine?
Chad: Oh you mean dance dance generation? I love that game. Back in high school Emile and I would totally wreck the competition.
Luke: Ooh! Really? Do you want to help me get a high score today? I need to prove my worth! YOU HERE THAT ARCADE, WE ABOUT TO WRECK SOME COLLEGE CHEEKS.
James: Please never say that again.
Chad: Heck yeah! Let's go!
(Luke and Chad run off leaving James by himself)
James: Idiots.
(James notices Jen and Dawn at the counter)
(James walks up to the counter)
James: Jen? What the H are you doing here?
Jen: I'm working. Duh.
Dawn: It's her first day on the job. I'm just training her.
James: What about your job at Fish and Teps?
Dawn: Bro I got fired. The managers didn't appreciate me helping fake French waiters ruin a date.
(Luke runs back to James)
Luke: James! Me and Chad want to play the dancing game. Give us your quarters.
James: No. I'm tired of you stealing my money. From now on you get your own money.
(Luke looks offended)
Luke: Me? Use my own money? Ugh!
(Luke walks away)
Jen: By the way James, since you are currently broke, if you want you can work here.
James: Really?
Dawn: Yeah, we're still hiring, you just have to ask our manager. But don't get your hopes up. She's really strict.
(Tha manager walks by the trio)
James: Hey, can I have the job?
Ayuno: *unamused* yeah whatever, you're hired, get to work.
Jen: Congrats broski, you got the job.
Dawn: Welcome to Neon arcade!
James: Awesome! So what do I do
(Dawn takes out a mop and a bucket)
Dawn: Clean up in the laser tag room, some Asian kid threw up.
(Scene changes showing Chad and Luke playing in James' dorm room)
Luke: Like I don't get it! Why didn't James want to give us his quarters? We give him friendship, the most he can do is share his money with us.
Chad: Are you even hearing yourself?
(James walks in his dorm room exhausted)
James: What a day. (James collapses on his bed) Why are you guys here?
Chad: Playing.
Luke: Yeah, we're playing games that don't require quarters. *spits*
Chad: Anyways, what were you doing today?
James: Working. You?
Luke: This. This is what we were doing. And we're still not done.
James: Lucky you. I had the most stressful day yet.
Luke: Don't care.
James: First I had to fix the Vr equipment.
Luke: Fascinating.
James: Then I had to save some poor kid get unstuck from the wall.
Luke: I can't believe you're still talking.
James: We got him. We couldn't get his pants though.
Luke: Didn't ask.
James: Then there were two people making out in the dining area. Guess who had to separate the two?
Luke: Ooh a new high score!
James: Exactly! Me.
Chad: Bro, sounds rough, why are you still working there?
James: I like money.
Luke: Money is good, but it's not worth it if you have to work for it.
James: How else are you gonna earn money?
Chad: I like making a profit off of my parties. It costs 10 dollars for a ticket.
Luke: Clever Chad, and I like making money by selling James' stuff.
James: Ha Ha, very funny Luke.
(James starts looking for his laptop)
James: Uh guys, where is my laptop?
Luke: Wyoming.
(James groans)
(Scene changes showing Luke and Chad entering the arcade)
Luke: Hiya James!
James: *quietly* kill me. Hi guys! How can I help you?
Luke: We want to get tokens for the arcade machines. Or maybe you'll like to give us a couple of quarters? Hmmmmmmm.
James: That'll be ten bucks for a bag of tokens.
Luke: Dang you. Chad, pay the man.
Chad: Why do I have to do it?
Luke: Because…. You're the new James for now.
Chad: Ew? (Chad gives James the ten dollar bill)
(James hands Chad the bag of tokens)
James: Alright have fun. *forcefully smiles*
(Luke sees a group of little kids playing on the dance machine)
Luke: We have competition. Yo Punks! Get off our machine before I do something illegal.
(Luke charges at them)
James: You might wanna go stop him.
Chad: Wish me luck. (Chad runs towards Luke)
Jen: You have weird friends bro.
James: Everyday I ask myself whether or not they are my friends.
(James looks at Luke and Chad)
Luke: How dare you have rights to use our dance machine. Prepare to eat my elbow you fiends! (Luke body slams one of the kids)
Chad: GO! Go! GO! GO! GO!
Jen: You should probably stop them before they get themselves in more trouble.
James: We got arrested once, I'm sure they're used to it at this point.
Ayuno: Yo James!
James: Yes manager…
Ayuno: Why aren't you working?
James: I am, I'm behind the counter. Like you told me too.
Ayuno: Don't give me your tude, you have to clean the boys bathroom. Some poor soul tasted his blueberry slushy again.
James: Why do I always have to clean this?
Ayuno: Because… Because you're you, now get to it.
(James looks unamused)
Ayuno: And Jen.
Jen: Yeah.
Ayuno: Keep up the good work.
Jen: Aye, aye captain.
(Ayuno walks away)
(Jen looks at James)
Jen: Don't you have a puddle of slush to clean?
(James gives Jen a cold stare.)
(Scene changes showing Luke and Chad destroying the dance machine with their killer dance moves, a crowd is watching)
Chad: *panting* We are so close!
Luke: Don't give up now Chad!
Chad: Bro my legs are on fire!
Luke: That's just the feeling of victory! COME ON! SHOW ME YOUR MOVES! (Luke proceeds to hit every step perfectly)
GWC: I haven't seen Luke like this before.
Emile: Ditto. Chad hasn't been this good at dancing since high school.
Zack: Why am I here?
GWC: Because we have to take notes, we're up after them.
Emile: Yeah, Chad made a bet with us, and I haven't lost a bet in years.
Zack: And why did you guys choose me? I can't dance.
GWC: Have you seen Bruce? That poor guy looks like a handicapped giraffe trying to figure skate.
Emile: It's honestly quite sad.
Chad: *pants* Luke, I can't do this! I have to stop!
Luke: Don't you dare! (Luke has fire in his eyes)
(Luke and Chad finish their dance, Luke does a split to finish it and Chad collapses)
Chad: Water… Water…. I need… H20… *passes out*
(Luke walks towards GWC, Emile and Zack, Luke has a towel around his neck)
Luke: You're up chumps.
GWC: Bring it on Tep.
The audience: Oooooohhhhh.
Random guy: He said you dance like a pregnant mom.
GWC: When did I say that?!
Luke: Alright, GWC. Let's double the money.
The audience: Oooooooohhhhh.
Random Guy: He said he's gonna rob your family.
GWC: Whatever. Emile, Zack let's show these sticks whose boss.
(GWC inserts a token)
( The three begin to dance horribly. GWC bumps into Zack and Emile trips on his shoelace)
Chad: Wow, that's just… that's just…
Luke: I bet blind, legless people can dance better. Do you have any more tokens?
Chad: Nope, I'm all out.
Luke: Dangit. Have any more money?
Chad: Nope.
Luke: Dangit.
(Luke and Chad walk up to James)
Chad: Hey James.
(James is covered in mud and leaves)
James: Hey guys. Don't mind me, I just finished cleaning the leaves off the gutter.
Luke: Hey, after some thinking that literally took 1.5 milliseconds we decided to get jobs.
James: *raises eyebrow* That's weird, why?
Luke: Well Jobs teaches one how to be responsible, teaches leadership.
James: No seriously why?
Chad: Look, we want to keep playing Dance, Dance Generation but we're totally out of cash.
James: Fair enough. So where do you guys want to work?
Luke: Why not here?
James: Please don't do this to me.
Chad: Come on, it'll be fun.
James: *sighs* Fine, but don't get your hopes up. Ayuno is really strict.
(Ayuno walks by the trio)
Chad and Luke: Hey Ayuno can we work here?
Ayuno: Sure, start tomorrow.
Luke: Alright, it seems we're all work buddies.
(James groans)
(Scene changes showing Dawn, GWC, Emile and Zack at the dance machine game thing)
GWC: Please repeat everything you just said.
Dawn: Oh my gosh, okay, so, I modified the machine so whenever it sees you three about to bust some moves it'll automatically give you the highest score possible. Every step you take will automatically be perfect.
Emile: And how will the machine know when we're using it?
Dawn: Simple, I added a camera with face recognition.
Zack: Of course you did. And is this thing safe?
Dawn: Most definitely, you don't have to worry about a thing. You wanna try it?
GWC: No, we'll challenge Luke and Chad. I wanna see their faces when we take the top spot on the leaderboard. And have their reputation ruined. *evil laughter*
Emile: Dang GWC, I like it when you talk crazy.
Zack: Why did I get myself involved in this?
(Scene changes showing James, Jen and Chad organizing the candy)
(James is making his candy look neat and organized)
(Jen is doing the bare minimum)
(And Chad doesn't care)
James: Okay, just one last mega crunch and… Done! Hey guys check this out.
(James' candy is shaped like a pyramid)
James: What do you think?
Jen: It looks exhausting.
Chad: Yeah, whatever.
(Chad's candy is messy)
James: Um, Chad?
Chad: mhm?
James: Your candy looks a bit… lopsided.
Chad: Dude who cares? Certainly not me, it's just candy, these people will eat anything that contains sugar.
James: I know, but I want everything to be perfect. Ayuno is looking for an assistant manager and I really want that position.
Chad: I think you're taking this job way too seriously.
James: Let me help you. (James moves Chad away)
James: Okay, so let's first start with…
(Ayuno walks by)
Ayuno: Chad, I'm impressed, your organization looks professional and extra. I love it.
Chad: Why thank you Ayuno, you see I really tried to make my candy look symmetrical.
James: I beg your pardon?
Ayuno: And it paid off. And Jen, love your minimalist approach.
Jen: Why thank you Ayuno.
(Ayuno looks at James)
Ayuno: Yours is lopsided.
(Ayuno walks away)
Chad: You should probably fix that.
(James gives Chad a cold stare)
(Scene changes, James is seen in the lobby sweeping, Bruce walks up to him)
Bruce: Hey dude.
James: 'sup. You're here to play some games?
Bruce: Nope, I'm here to pick up my girl.
Jen: *from a distance* Don't call me that!
James: Dude please get out of my face.
Bruce: Woah, aggressive. Why's that?
James: Both Chad and Luke are driving me crazy.
Bruce: How so?
James: Well- *gets interrupted*
(Luke runs through the arcade wearing a trash bag as a superhero costume)
Luke: I'm the Trash Bag Man! BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM! Do not fret civilians I Will save you!
(Luke gets on top of the billiards table and leaps off hoping to fly, he lands face first on the ground, the people laugh)
(Ayuno walks up to Luke laughing)
Ayuno: Oh Luke you're a riot! I love your attempts to make everyone here have a good time.
(Luke gets up, blood runs down his nose)
Luke: Glad to help. You see, my mom always said I had a knack of making people laugh.
Ayuno: She was a good lady.
Luke: She's still alive.
Ayuno: Even better.
(Ayuno notices James)
Ayuno: Get to work punkhole!
(Ayuno walks off)
(James gets red, steam comes out his nose)
Bruce: I understand everything now.
(Scene Changes showing James talking to Zack in the gift shop)
James: And then Luke began to throw tokens all willy-nilly and then Chad decided to whip his Jukebox and started blasting his terrible Dotify playlist and everybody and their great grandmother started dancing.
Zack: James.
James: And you'll think that Ayuno will shut them down but no! Guess what she did?
Zack: James.
James: She got her limbo stick and everything became full chaos. Everyone was in a conga line. And when I tried joining she told me to go outside and start parking cars.
Zack: James!
James: What!
Zack: Bro, what do you want me to do? All I do is sell merchandise.
James: I just want someone to talk to. I can't go back to my job because Ayuno will just make me unclog the toilets again.
Zack: Okay, I can see that you are tense.
James: Very much so.
Zack: Okay, if you want to be recognized you should-
(Luke runs inside the giftshop)
Zack: Luke? What are you doing here?
James: Yeah, I thought you were at work.
Luke: Relax Stale, I just wanna buy some balloons, we're having a water balloon fight. It's gonna be lit.
(Luke gets a pack of water balloons and runs away)
Zack: Hey you have to pay- oh who am I kidding?
James: You were saying?
Zack: As I was saying, if you want to make Ayuno notice you, do something epic, fun and most importantly profitable.
James: I like your words. Keep saying them.
Zack: Is there any popular arcade machine at the arcade?
James: Yeah, that stupid dance machine thing.
Zack: And there you go. Make something using that.
James: Oh, I guess I can start a tournament using that arcade machine. It can help the Arcade raise more money.
Zack: That's good. I wish you the best of luck pal, now get out of here. I hate it whenever you morons use me as a student counselor.
(James walks off)
(Scene changes showing James in the middle of the arcade holding a megaphone)
James: *speaks into the megaphone* Attention everyone.
Jen: Brother, what are you doing?
James: Going to impress our boss.
James: Attention everyone!
(The crowd looks at James)
James: I have some wonderful news.
Random Girl: Shut up!
(Someone throws a chair at James)
(James gets knocked out)
(Luke and Chad run up to the crowd, Chad is wearing a golden chain necklace and Bruce's sunglasses and Luke is wearing a baseball cap and has golden grills)
Luke: Yo let's get CRUNK! Drop that beat Sprinkles!
Chad: Whatever you say L man! (Chad plays some sick beats)
(Luke starts breakdancing and Chad starts beat boxing)
Chad: Now this is the story all about how-
(Luke is spinning on his head)
Luke: You can't say that legally.
Chad: You right L man.
(The crowd is enjoying the show.)
The audience: GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!
Jen: Go! Go! Go, you morons!
Dawn: Hey Jen.
Jen: Sup.
Dawn: How's everything?
Jen: Interesting.
(Ayuno walks up to Chad and Luke)
Ayuno: You two have to be the best employees I have ever hired. I love your energy you have when you come to work, and I love how you entertain our guests. How would you two like to be assistant managers?
Luke: Let me speak with my partner.
Chad: Yes.
Luke: YES!
Ayuno: Perfect! Meet me in my office, I'll hand you an improved name tag and a new uniform.
(Ayuno, Chad and Luke walk passed James' unconscious body)
Ayuno: Oh and James please wipe down the counters, some kid coughed up his pizza again.
(Scene changes showing James in his dorm with an ice bag over his eye)
Jen: How are you feeling?
James: Horrible! I can't believe both Chad and Luke are my new bosses, it was bad enough when we were just regular employees but now they are gonna be telling me what to do!
Jen: Look if it makes you feel any better I also don't like the idea of those two doofuses being managers either.
(Luke and Chad walk inside James' dorm)
Luke: Hello friends! *smiles*
Chad: Bro, work has us beat. (Looks at James) What's wrong with him?
Jen: Some jerk threw a wooden chair at my brother, his eye has been throbbing for hours.
Luke: Ooh let me feel it!
(Luke removes the ice bag away)
James: Ow.
Luke: Interesting. I didn't expect it to feel this way.
Chad: How does it feel?
Luke: Feels like a warm plastic bag filled with warm pudding.
(James removes Luke's hand away from his face)
James: Can you stop touching my oculus!?
Chad: Bro what is with the aggression?
James: You know why.
Chad: Dude we're not responsible for your pudding-like eye.
Luke: Yeah, you could've ducked.
James: Well whatever, I just wanna have some rest. See ya.
Chad: Bye.
(Chad, Luke and Jen leave James' dorm)
(Music can be heard from Chad's room)
James: Of course.
Luke: Yeah celebratory Assistant manager party! WOOOOOO!
Chad: Come on guys let's do the conga.
(A small gentle tear runs down James' cheek)
(Scene changes showing the employees behind the counter)
Chad: Alright gang, before we open for the day we must assign opening jobs.
Luke: Claire, turn on the machines. Brody, vacuum the arcade. Jen, just stand there. Kevin, wash my bike.
James: You can't make him wash your bike. That's an abuse of power.
Luke: Settle down employee.
Kevin: You want me to tighten the bolts?
Luke: Duh, it's not gonna tighten it itself.
(Kevin walks away in shame)
(Ayuno walks in)
Ayuno: Luke, Chad we must discuss our issue.
Chad: Sure, talk to us.
Ayuno: Okay so I read our reviews, they said that they had the best experience here however it seems as if though they are expecting more quality entertainment so I was wondering if-
James: Hey Ayuno , I have an idea that will make us earn more money.
Ayuno: And you are?
James: I'm James, you hired me last week.
Ayuno: Oh that's great, please wash my car, and tighten the bolts as well.
(James looks unamused)
(James walks away)
Luke: So how do you prefer your sandwiches?
Chad: Toasted.
Ayuno: Definitely. But there are some sandwiches that are better cold.
Luke: Tuna is one.
Chad: True but that's because Tuna gets spoiled if you toast it.
Ayuno: But there are people who enjoy it toasted.
Chad: Ugh.
Luke: I hate those people.
(Scene changes with James standing on top of the counter with his bullhorn)
Jen: James, please not now. Or ever.
James: Relax Jen, Ayuno will finally notice me.
Jen: Dude, you sound like a pathetic man trying to impress the love of his life. You're being a Bruce.
James: Quiet.
(James speaks into the bullhorn)
James: Attention ladies and Gentlemen I have an important announcement.
(Chad and Luke run up to James)
Chad: Dude what are you doing?
James: Watch and learn Chad.
James: *speaks into bullhorn* Today we will be hosting our very first Dance Dance Generations tournament!
Random Guy: So?
James: So the team or person who gets the highest score will win free tokens for a whole month! Now if everyone will be please make a nice, organized line I will be more than happy to-
(Everyone begins to attack one another to go first)
James: Hey Stop It!
(People are going at it)
James: Stop! THIS ISN'T ORGANIZED!!!!
Chad: Hey James, I see what you're doing but-
Luke: When do we start learning?
James: Oh this is bad! Ayuno is going to kill me!
(GWC, Emile and Zack get on the machine first)
GWC: Hey everyone!
(The people look at GWC)
GWC: Watch and learn. *laughs*
(Emile inserts a quarter)
Zack: Ready?
Emile: Yup, let's win this thing.
(Music starts playing and the trio start hitting every step perfectly)
GWC: It's actually working!
Emile: No kidding, Dawn actually made something work.
Zack: If we keep this up we'll win the tournament.
(The machine starts throwing more and more arrows at them)
GWC: Uh, why is the machine acting up?
Emile: Don't know but we're still earning points!
(The machine begins to shake violently and electricity starts coming out)
Zack: Is this supposed to happen?
GWC: Not sure.
Luke: James, is this part of your tournament?
James: No it's not.
GWC: GUYS!!! WHAT'S GOING ON!!?
Emile: I don't know!
(The machine shocks Emile, Zack and GWC and it explodes launching the three across the arcade)
Luke: Shocking.
Chad: Impressive James, the tournament ended with a bang.
Luke: I see what you did there Chad! High Stub!
(Chad and Luke High Stub each other with a freeze frame)
(Ayuno walks down)
Ayuno: What in heaven's name is going on down here?
Random Guy: One of your random employees held a Dancing Tournament which made us get into a group fight then the machine exploded!
(James hides in shame)
Ayuno: Alright! I want the moron who came up with that idea to enter my office right now!
(Chad and Luke look at James)
James: Something tells me that I'm gonna get fired.
Chad: Relax, you'll find another job.
James: But I don't want another job. I like this job, free arcade tokens, free snacks, and I get to talk to these awesome employees.
Luke: But you always get to your dorm late and you appear so exhausted. Plus you clean up vomit way too much.
James: I know but it's worth it knowing all the benefits this job provides.
(James starts heading to Ayuno's office)
Chad: Poor dude.
Luke: Yeah, wanna play the basketball game?
Chad: Heck yeah!
(Chad and Luke run towards the basketball machine)
(Scene changes showing James entering Ayuno's office)
James: Hey Ayuno. Can we talk?
Ayuno: What is it James? And make it quick, I have these stupid papers to file.
James: Um… regarding the incident downstairs, I want to let you know that-
Ayuno: Let me guess, you were responsible for it?
James: Yeah.
Ayuno: Alright, hand me your uniform James. After a battle downstairs between the guests and the exploding dancing Machine-
James: Well the machine going boom wasn't my fault.
Ayuno: Whatever, you were responsible for the fight downstairs, were you not?
James: I suppose.
Ayuno: Well James, it leaves me with no choice, I have to let you go.
(James hands Ayuno his uniform, James walks out of her office)
(Scene changes showing James lying on his bed looking at the ceiling)
Jen: Dude, come on. I threw three paper balls at you. Why aren't you freaking out? It's no fun messing with you if you're not gonna freak out.
James: It's alright Jen. I just want to be alone.
Jen: James.
James: Please.
(Jen walks out)
(James tries to turn on the T.V but his T.V is gone)
James: LUKE!!!!
(Chad and Luke enter James' dorm)
James: Oh dear god.
Chad: So James wanna go down to the lobby and play pool?
James: Guys please leave me alone. And why aren't you two monkeys working?
Luke: Oh we quit.
James: You quit?
Chad: Yeah, we noticed that we made your first job a living nightmare. So if you're unemployed we're unemployed.
James: Guys that's very cool and stupid of you but thanks?
Chad: Don't mention it.
James: Luke, where is my T.V?
Luke: New Mexico.
(James groans)
(Episode ends, now peace and love bye)
