He walks away. They look at a sign that says No Food or
Drinks
                                                            
                       FROST

                       C.BEAN

They see a no food or drinks sign.
                                                            
                       FROST
Oh, man.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
Another no food sign
                                                            

7.

                       FROST
This sign is starting to piss me
off.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Dang it! Man! Fine, job #3.
                                                            
A new shot of them about to walk in somewhere but they see a
no food sign, they get mad, then about 2 more new shots of
that come up, then a shot of no food signs keep fading in.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Ah!!!!!! Dang it! We’ll never get
a job.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
What do we do? If we can’t get
into any of these stores how do we
get a job. We need to get rid of
that sign
                                                            
                       FROST
I know
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
What?
                                                            
                       FROST
We go to court.
                                                            
INT. INSIDE A COURT ROOM - DAY
                                                            
                       COURT PERSON
The case of the Foods vs. all the
stores is now in session. All Rise
for the honorable judge Patterson.
                                                            
The food group and a lawyer stand up.
                                                            
                       JUDGE PATTERSON
Now all of you foods will be
defending yourself
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
Yes
                                                            
                       JUDGE PATTERSON
And the lawyer defending for all
the stores
                                                            
                       LAWYER
Yes
                                                            

8.

                       JUDGE PATTERSON
The Stores go first
                                                            
                       LAWYER
Judge there is not much to say
here, a lot of the stores do not
allowed food in because food can
mess up the carpet, someone could
spill a drink, and that gives the
stores more work to do. So I say
do not let these foods into our
stores
                                                            
                       JUDGE PATTERSON
O.k., now it’s the foods turn.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
Your honor I think it is wrong
that the stores do not let food
in, They are being racist against
our kind. How are we supposed to
make a living. We are people too
now, except, the, fact, that, we,
are, um, food.
                                                            
                       JUDGE PATTERSON
Well I don‘t really give a crap so
The Food win, The Food get $500
from all the stores that didn’t
let them, and all the no food
signs will be taken down.
                                                            
                       LAWYER
Crap!
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Ha! In your face!!!
                                                            
Lawyer drinks from his straw, then leaves
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ow!!! That hurt!
Dang it! You idiot. How about I
kick you in the nuts.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
Let it go C. Bean, now let’s go
get that job.
                                                            
                       FROST
The janitor job?
                                                            

9.

                       HOTT DOGG
No, the telemarketer job.
                                                            
                       FROST
Ah.
                                                            
INT. IN A TELEMARKETING OFFICE - DAY
                                                            
                       TELEMARKETER
Didn’t I tell you no foods or
drinks inside! Get out!
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
Well didn’t you see this court
order? Show him C. Bean.
                                                            
C. Bean pulls it out and shows it to him.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Ha! Read it and weep.
                                                            
                       TELEMARKETER
Dang it! This sucks, fine you all
get jobs here, but if you stain
anything it’s out of your pay
check.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
That’s in the order to, no money
out of our checks for stains.
                                                            
                       TELEMARKETER
Dang it! Fine! Just go to empty
stations and start calling the
numbers about our product! Go!
                                                            
They leave
                                                            
                       FROST
That wasn’t in the court order.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
I know
                                                            
Frost goes into a station, then C. Bean goes into a station,
then Hott Dogg goes into a station. Hott Dogg picks up a

O.k, that's a pretty good plan.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Oh, Frost can you pick me up some
Beef jerkey please i'm all out.
                                                            
                       FROST
Sure, i'll be back.
                                                            
Frost leaves
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
Why did you want Frost to go get
you Beef Jerkey? You already have
10 bags in your room.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Every test needs a experiment, or
is it the other way around? I
don't know.
                                                            
INT. SUPERMARKET - DAY
                                                            
Frost goes up to someone who works at the supermarket and
he’s wearing a mustache as a disguise .
                                                            
                       FROST
Do you know where the beef jerkey
is?
                                                            
The man is staring at him along with 5 other people
                                                            
                       FROST
Ah crap!
                                                            
INT. THE FOOD GROUPS HOUSE - DAY
                                                            
C. Bean is on the couch watching T.V. Then Hott Dogg comes
walks in the shot.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
C. Bean do you know what happened
to my Double Cheese Burger?
                                                            

14.

C. Bean has it in his mouth chewing it.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Nope
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
C. Bean your freaking eating it!
That cost me $3.00
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Your working, it's not like you
can afford it.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
That's not the point the point is
that you need to stop eating my
freaking food! And if you don't
something bad is going to happen.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Like what? You can't do anything.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
At least I got my Chicken Nuggets
in there.
                                                            
Hott Dogg goes over to the fridge. C.Bean takes out the
nugget box he was hiding, then eats the last nugget out of
the box and eats it.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
C. Bean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                                                            
C. Bean has the food in his mouth and starts talking
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
What? I didn't do anything.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
That's it man! Your gonna get it!
And when you least expect it too!
                                                            
Frost comes in the house. The bottom of him is gone and you
can only see the top of him.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
Frost? What happened to you?
                                                            
                       FROST
I put on a disguise and it didn't
work! They ate half of me!
                                                            

15.

                       C.BEAN
Well then I guess you wouldn't
mind if I eat the other half.
                                                            
C. Bean eats the rest of Frost.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
C. Bean what the freak? You ate
Frost! What's the matter with you!
                                                            
                       C.BEAN
Calm down, the episode is almost

one.
                                                            
                       FROST (V.O)
I can't believe you ate me!!!!!!

                       C.BEAN

                       C.BEAN
See he's fine, just enjoying a
little lunch.
                                                            
                       HOTT DOGG
I can't believe you man, your out
of control.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN

T.V turns to channel 46
                                                            
                       C.BEAN

Then the words "The Next Day" appear, C. Bean walk over to
the kitchen and sees Hott Dogg
                                                            

16.

                       HOTT DOGG

Hott Dogg Leaves, and C. Bean goes over and takes the bowl
out of the T.V, the t.v is smashed and the glass is in the
bowl.
                                                            
                       C.BEAN

All of Frost walks in the shot covered in poop, and he's
carrying a chainsaw
                                                            
                       C.BEAN

                       FROST
