A Spooky Meal/Transcript

Pre-South
(Skid and Pump are back, and this time, they’re taking Keith and Cherry out to someplace special for dinner)

Skid: C’mon, guys, we’re almost there!

Cherry: Where exactly are you taking us?

Pump: To a spooky meal!

(They come across a house in the middle of a dark forest. The house looks like it might be haunted)

Keith: Hah, wow, look at that place. What a nightmare! There’s even a creepy sign in front of it!

(The sign says: "This house contains scary threats, scary imagery, and hungry lemons. Proceed with caution." However, Skid and Pump aren’t interested in reading it)

Pump: But reading is boring.

Keith: Fiiiine, we won’t read it, then. How much longer ‘til we get to this "spooky meal" anyway?

Skid and Pump: We’re here!

Cherry: Uh...Maybe we shouldn’t go in there.

(Keith hears his stomach growl)

Keith: I am pretty hungry, though…

Cherry: We have so much food at home.

Keith: I know, but the last time I opened your fridge, your dad threatened to trap me in a video game…

(Cherry is getting annoyed by Keith’s indecisiveness, and decides that they go into the house anyway)

Cherry: In we go!

(Cherry picks up Keith and carries him over her shoulders into the house, while Skid and Pump follow. Once they enter, Keith wonders where the food is)

Keith: Hey! Where’s the grub?

Pump: Our new friend invited us here!

Skid: He must be bringing it.

Both: But can you still bring it on the mic?

Keith: (picks up his microphone) You know it! ‘Til the food gets here...Come on, kids, show me whatcha got!

(Cherry brings out her speakers and starts the music. As Skid and Pump sing, they do the Spooky Dance, just like they did last time)

South
Skid: Spooky Kids back with a brand new spooky set Of lines and activities you won’t forget!

Keith: Keith Sprite back with a new set of sharp retorts And a couple lines of the Spooky Month sort!

Pump: We’ve made a whole lot of spooky strides since our last battle!

Skid: Got a Happy Fella and we died,

Both: But we’re not rattled!

Keith: I’ve faced challenges beyond belief, won each battle with pride! Rapping with you kids is a relief! Wait, did you say you died?!

Skid: It’s okay, we went to the hospital and recovered fine!

Pump: It’s a lotta fun! You guys should visit that place with us sometime!

Keith: Think I’ll pass on goin’ to the hospital anytime soon! I get nervous just sitting in my family doctor’s waiting room!

Skid: If you don’t wanna go to the fun, we could bring fun to you!

Pump: Summoning demons with an ouija board rocks! Wanna try it too?

Keith: I got demons in my life already, don’t think I need more… Where did you even get a board like that? No way they sell those in stores!

Skid: Spooky Month stuff is selling everywhere! Give it a chance!

Pump: Nobody can resist doing the Spooky Dance!

Keith: Gonna have to teach me about that dance, it’s new to me! But hey, I’m game to learn some new dance moves for free!

Skid: We’ve been doing the Spooky Dance for this whole song Man, there’s nothin’ to it!

Pump: Just swing both your arms and crouch down, dance along That’s how you do it!

Keith: Got it, I’ll swing my arms from side to side Dancin’ when the time is right! If I get spooked and terrified Then I’ll just dance away the night!

(Song finishes)

Keith: Whew...You kids are gettin’ good!

Skid: Thanks! We’ve been practicing!

(Suddenly, Pump sees someone standing at the door)

Pump: Hey, look! He’s heeeere!

(A seemingly cheerful creature with a lemon-shaped head appears. He doesn’t seem to be very intimidating at all...Or does he?)

Lemon Creature: Hey, kids! Did you do everything I asked?

Skid and Pump: You betcha, Mister Lemon!

Lemon Creature: Hooray, great work! I’ll take it from here.

Pump: Can we bring another friend?

Lemon Creature: Hmm...Sure! They can come for dessert. Run along, now.

(Skid and Pump leave)

Skid and Pump: Have fun, guys!

(Skid and Pump slam the door behind them. Keith is very curious about the lemon creature)

Keith: Ugh...Man, what even are you?

(The lemon creature starts to give an unsettling chuckle)

Lemon Creature: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

(Without warning, he peels his face off, revealing a scarier one underneath)

Lemon Monster: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo...I’m no man. I’m a monster.

(Keith starts to get a little nervous)

Keith: ...Are you a monster that brought food?

Lemon Monster: Oh, you poor, sweet, succulent morsels. I didn’t lure you here to share a meal. ''I lured you here to be one. ''

Keith: What?! This is crazy! Skid and Pump brought us over here to be eaten? I can't believe this! We gotta get out of here, Cherry!

Lemon Monster: But, if you don't want to be cooked and eaten, you will have to beat me in a little singing battle.

Keith: Um...alright. As long as you'll let us out of here once Skid and Pump get back.

Lemon Monster: Wonderful! Let's get to singing, shall we?

(Keith realizes that he and Cherry are in trouble. In order to avoid getting eaten, he’ll have to battle this monster through song. Cherry knows this, too, so she starts the music)

Monster
Lemon Monster: Oooooh…

Keith: Oooooh…

Lemon Monster: Guess it's time, You better plug in all your nightlights.

Keith: I spit rhymes You wanna hurt us, better think twice!

Lemon Monster: What's out there, past your darkened door?

Keith: Be prepared, gonna sing you sore!

Lemon Monster: Just the eyes floating up out of the shore…

Keith: Your song’s cake! Those kids were tougher before!

Lemon Monster: (I love a catch that struggles.) Hey man, I'm gonna eat your girlfriend

Keith: No way! You’re gonna meet a sad end!

Lemon Monster: Or maybe turn her into broth...La-la-la-la-la!

Keith: Don’t get all sour once you’ve lost! La-la-la-la-la!

Lemon Monster: Prep the meal, cut it up. Stuff it up inside of my secret meat box.

Keith: How are you gonna chop anything without a weapon? Got you outfoxed!

Lemon Monster: Find my hands across the meat and slowly peel the skin off...

Keith: Find my hands across the mic and quickly rock your socks off!

Lemon Monster: You’ll meet your friends...

Keith: You have no friends!

Lemon Monster: Inside the ambulance.

Keith: ‘Cause you’d just threaten them!

Lemon Monster: Call into the night...

Keith: Please get help tonight!

Lemon Monster: To the werewolf.

Keith: Don’t be aloof!

Lemon Monster: Give all your blood to him...

Keith: Work out your twisted whims!

Lemon Monster: Stand under the warm street light!

Keith: Therapy could set you right!

Lemon Monster: Let yourself be hypnotized...

Keith: Let yourself be...help-notized? (Agh, that was lame…Can’t help him, how do I fight back...Wait! I know!)

Lemon Monster: You’re just a little snack...And so is your girlfriend!

Keith: I’ll juice you and make snacks...For me and my girlfriend!

Lemon Monster: (Wh-what did you say?) Hey, man, your eyes will join the others!

Keith: Lemon meringue just like my mother’s!

Lemon Monster: And then I’ll boil your girlfriend, la-la-la-la-la!

Keith: Make dough for lemon bread and blend! La-la-la-la-la!

Lemon Monster: Prep the meal, cut it up. Stuff it up inside of my burning dungeon!

Keith: Mash the dough, fluff it up Stuff it up inside of my burning oven!

Lemon Monster: I would give you guys a little break, but I’m not Satan!

Keith: I would serve you up with pepper steak, but that’s not vegan!

Lemon Monster: Ooooh yeah...

Keith: Ooooh yeah!

(Song finishes, and the Lemon Monster claps slowly to show his approval)

Lemon Monster: Bravo, bravo. I loved the part where you thought anything you were saying made an impact on me. Very delicious. And now, our little song has ended, and it’s time to make good on our threats. I do hope you were being serious. I was…

Keith: D-d-don’t come any closer! I have a juicer at home...And I’m...n-not afraid to use it!

Lemon Monster: Don’t worry, little man. You’ll find peace in your end.

(Then he really starts to threaten Keith and Cherry)

Lemon Monster: AND THEY’LL FIND YOU IN PIECES.

(He starts to lunge for Keith and Cherry, when suddenly, Skid and Pump come back)

Skid: Hey, Mister Lemon! We brought our friend!

Pump: He lives in a spooky house, too!

Lemon Monster: What the…?

(Suddenly, Skid and Pump’s squid-like monster friend, Eyes of the Universe, breaks into the house, which frightens the Lemon Monster. Keith, Cherry, Skid, and Pump realize that this is the perfect time to escape)

Cherry: C’mon, while he’s distracted!

(The four of them open up a window and jump out of it. Then they run as quickly as possible away from the house. They are safe. Keith and Cherry take a moment to catch their breath)

Cherry: So, what did we learn today, kids?

Skid and Pump: You can always rely on the power of friendship?

Keith: (points to the sign) READ!

(While having the Spooky Kids around is fun, it’s not very likely that Keith and Cherry will ask Skid and Pump to take them out for dinner again anytime soon…)
