Description [Open to a daytime shot of a busy harbour known as Bigg City Port. The Fulton Ferry and Warrior steam past the camera in opposite directions with their loads.]

Narrator (told from Captain Star's POV): The 1920s. 'Bigg City Port' was the biggest harbour in the world. It was a time of change and great opportunity. [Cut to wide shot of the busy port. Ten Cents and Sunshine chug past towing a tramper out to sea.] Nobody knew it better than the hard-working 'tugs', whose strength and big hearts made them popular with everybody from tramp steamers to ocean liners. [Cut to a nighttime shot of Top Hat (facing away) moored up at a quayside.] Important jobs in the port often kept them working night and day. My tugs, the Star Fleet, were no exception. [Cut to daytime shot of O.J. chugging past the camera, tooting his whistle.] I had three Harbour tugs: O.J - a paddle steamer… [Cut to shot of Warrior and Big Mac towing barges side-by-side. Both tugs toot their whistles.] …Warrior and Big Mac…. [Cut to sunrise/set shot of Top Hat moored alongside railbarges, Frank and Eddie. He toots his whistle.] A railway tug - Top Hat. [Cut to Ten Cents who pulls up alongside a coal-barge. Scene cuts to another shot showing him working with a dirty-faced Big Mac and Jack the Grappler unloading the barge.] One little switcher - (chuckles) Ten Cents. [Ten Cents blows his whistle. Scene cuts to shot of Hercules.] …and Hercules, my ocean-going tug. [Hercules blows his whistle. Scene cuts to showing the whole of the Star Fleet lined against the Star Dock.] They were a good crew - striving to be the best in the port. Not always succeeding, but proud of their work! [Scene fades to black, then opens to a wide sunrise shot of Ten Cents, O.J, Big Mac, Warrior, and Top Hat gathered round the Star Tug & Marine Co. building. Lillie Lightship is visible floating in the hazy background.] I remember the day we got our first big-break: It started like most - at dawn…

[Cut to Captain Star, only appearing as a blue-and-white striped megaphone) talking out from the building to the tugs.]

Captain Star: Good morning, Star Fleet! Today, I've charted another switcher to help out with the extra work. He's from upriver. Ten Cents, he'll be working with you. Show him the ropes!

Ten Cents: Right, Captain Star! 'Ere, what's his name?

Captain Star: Sunshine.

Top Hat: Sunshine! Only good for 'day work', is he?

Ten Cent: 'Might brighten you up a bit, Top Hat!

Star Tugs: (Laughter)

Top Hat: I resent that!

Captain Star: Settle down! Give Sunshine a chance. Now, for the really good news!

[Big Mac and Warrior turn their wheelhouses to Captain Starr in anticipation.]

Star Tugs: (Excited murmurs)

Captain Star: After a lot of hard bargaining, it looks like I've managed to land the 'ocean liner' contract… for the biggest liners around! (Star Tugs: (Excited cheers and whistles)) The Princess Alice and S.S. Vienna! When the 2 arrives this afternoon, the Star Fleet will bring her into dock. But first, we gotta prove ourselves! O.J, you're in charge…

O.J: Aye-aye, sir!

Captain Star: Big Mac…

Big Mac: yes!

Captain Star: ..you're leading!

Big Mac: Right!

Captain Star: Top Hat, Warrior–

Top Hat: Sir!

Captain Star: –you're on the side-push!

Top Hat: Not you, Ten Cents! This is no work for switchers!

Ten Cents:'Might brighten you up a bit, pianer!

Warrior: Yeah! That's right! Big tugs only, Ten Cents!

Ten Cents: Make sure you don't bump into her, Warrior, hehe!

Captain Star: On your way, Ten Cents! Show Sunshine how to get the work done and fast!

Ten Cents: Yeah, right! Okay then, Sir!

Captain Star: Now the rest of you - I want you all finished early so you can get yourselves looking spic and span for the Princess Alice this afternoon!

Top Hat: Oh glorious!

[Scene cuts to Zero Marine Bigg City. Scene cuts to a wide shot of the Z-Stack tugs moored along the Zero Marine quayside.]

Narrator: Our biggest rival in those days was Captain Zero. With his Z Stacks, he was always looking for ways to get further ahead.

Captain Zero: Now listen to ME and listen good! The Star Fleet are about to get the ocean liner contract– (Z-Stacks: Murmurs of disapproval) –and I'm not happy!

Zorran: We're not smiling, Captain Zero!

Captain Zero: I'm glad you don't find it funny, Zorran. Now I want that contract and you're going to get it for me!

Z-Stacks: (Murmurs of approval)

Zip: But how? I thought that–

Captain Zero: I don't expect you to think!

Zip: Oh.

Captain Zero: You're a team! The best, the better-looking, more powerful and, dare I say, more devious!

Zak: I like that bit about "better-looking", he-he!

Zip: Yeah, but what's devious?

Captain Zero: What's devious is what's necessary to make an honest living in these days of corruption and bad business ethics!

Zip: Oh…

Captain Zero: Now fire up your boilers and get that Princess Alice contract! There's no time to lose!

Zorran: No problem! That bunch of clapped-out sardine cans are gonna find they've missed the boat, or my name's not Zorran!

[Laughter from Zorran and the other Z-Stacks, barring Zip.]

Zip: But it IS 'Zorran'… isn't it?

[Cut to shot of Hercules refuelling at the coaling depot.]

Narrator: In the morning, Hercules had an important contract up the coast, so I was to lose his great strength on the very day I was to need it most.

[Ten Cents pulls alongside Hercules.]

Ten Cents: Oi, Hercules! The Princess Alice is coming this afternoon. Ah, it's a pity you won't be there.

Hercules: I know. I really hate to disappoint the Princess Alice.

Ten Cents: 'Ere, I'm looking for a switcher called Sunshine. You ain't seen him?

Hercules: 'Fraid not, old darling.

Ten Cents: Hmmm, well he'd better show soon. I've a lot of work to do before this afternoon.

Hercules: I'll be back tonight. Oh and Ten Cents, look after the Princess Alice for me, won't you?

[Hercules reverses away from the depot. Scene cuts to Ten Cents waiting at the Ballantine's yard. O.J chugs past him.]

O.J: Ten Cents! Has that switcher found you yet?

Ten Cents: No, not yet!

O.J: Well, he's looking for you!

Ten Cents: Ah well I better go 'look for him.

[Cut to Sunshine's white stack moving, just visible over a coal barge. He toots his whistle. Cut to Sunshine and Ten Cents bumping into each other. Ten Cents blows his whistle.]

Ten Cents: Oi! Woah there!

[Ten Cents and Sunshine look shocked.]

Sunshine: Oh! Err, sorry, sir!

Ten Cents: Yeah well, watch it in future.

Sunshine: Ahem, I was looking for 'Ten Cents'… err sir?

Ten Cents: Yeah, well you just found him!

Sunshine: Oh! I'm… Sunshine, sir!

Ten Cents: Ah, it's good to meet you. C'mon, let's get to work. The Star Fleet is docking an ocean liner this afternoon, and if we get a move on, we’ll be finished in time to watch.

Sunshine: Yes, sir!

Ten Cents: Now, now look Sunshine, you only call the Captain Star "Sir" - I'm just "Ten Cents", okay?

Sunshine: Yes, sir, sure thing, Ten Cents!

[Cut to Zorran and Zak approaching Izzy Gomez on the estuary.]

Zorran: Well look what the tide's brought in: Izzy Gomez!

Izzy Gomez: Ay you guys, I need a tow!

Zak: We don't accept bananas as payment, hehehe!

Izzy Gomez: Ay big shots, you towing the Princess Alice or something?

Zorran: What do you know about it, you South American heap of junk?

Izzy Gomez: What I know? I sit around, waiting for nobody to tow me. The Princess Alice, she come in this morning. Suddenly everybody busy.

Zorran: Eh?

Zak: But Princess Alice isn't due till this afternoon?

Zorran: Shut up, dingy shithead! C'mon!

[Zak mumbles as the two tugs steam away from Izzy Gomez.]

Izzy Gomez: Ay-ay-ay, what a day. I gotta get a tow and unload these bananas.

[Cut to the Zero Marine Bigg City. Zorran and Zak are talking to Captain Zero.]

Captain Zero: You sure about this?

Zorran: Seen it with my own eyes.

Zak: Yeah, we both seen it!

Captain Zero: Couldn't be better..! Now I want that contract and you are going to get it for me!

Zorran: Yes, sir!

[Scene cuts to Lucky's Yard and the Seaplane Hanger. Ten Cents and Sunshine are next to Sally Seaplane who is revving up her wing propellers.]

Narrator: This was Lucky's Yard, where all the harbour's boat repairs were made. Next to it was the Seaplane Hangar. One of the Star Tugs' jobs was supplying fuel for Sally.

Sally Seaplane: Hello, Ten Cents. Who's your new friend?

Ten Cents: Sunshine - meet Sally. She's our seaplane.

Sunshine: Hello Sally!

Sally Seaplane: Thanks for the fuel, fellas.

Ten Cents: Yeah, we can't wait around though, Sally; this afternoon, the Princess Alice is coming in. If we finish early, we can watch!

Sally Seaplane: Okay, bye, fellas.

Ten Cents: Alright, see you then. [Ten Cents looks across the harbour and spies the Z-Stacks.] 'Ere wait up, what are those Z-Stacks up to? No good, I'll bet.

[Scene cuts to Zorran, Zug and Zip who are conversing underneath the port's suspension bridge.]

Zorran: Now listen, Hercules is up the coast out of the way. Big Mac is the strongest 'Star' left. If we knuckle him, we'll grab the liner contract!

Zip: Yeah I know, but he's bigger than me.

Zorran: He's towing barges, dummy! His route is close to the mud-banks, okay?

Zip: …Yeah, so?

Zorran: So, you stuff him onto one! Okay?! Stupid??????

Zug: You've done it before to yourself, Zip, so you should soon catch on.

Zip: Yeah I'll catch on, Zorran.

Zorran: You'd better! Do it fast and get back fast! Now, get devious!

[Zorran watches Zug and Zip steam off. Scene cuts to Warrior sailing up to Izzy Gomez, still basking in the sun at the harbour mouth. Warrior toots his whistle.]

Izzy Gomez: Ay, Warrior, old friend! I need a tow.

Warrior: No time to argue about fees today, Izzy.

Izzy Gomez: When do I argue, compadre? It's a hundred dollar.

Warrior: Yeah yeah okay, but fast. We're bringing in 'Princess Alice this afternoon and I need time to get ship-shape.

Izzy Gomez: Ay but my friend, the Princess Alice - she already here.

Warrior: What? She can't be!

Izzy Gomez: Si, I heard her already!

Warrior: Suffering stacks! She's early! Gotta tell the others! Sorry, Izzy - I'll tow you later.

Izzy Gomez: But compadre?? Ay….

[Scene cuts to Zug and Zip sidle up alongside Big Mac, who is towing a barge, near the mud-banks.]

Narrator: Zip and Zug knew exactly where to find Big Mac. They were waiting for him.

Zug: Need a hand, Big Mac, old buddy?

Big Mac: Well guys, I….

Zip: Well it was a… nice day, Big Mac! Thought we'd try to, y'know, spread a little happiness, hehe!

Zug: Yeah! Like, helping our mates!

Zip: Can't go past to see one struggle!

Big Mac: Thanks guys! Now I'll be back in good time for the Princess Alice!

Narrator: Big Mac had no idea the Z-Stacks were laying a trap for him!

Narrator: then it heppen!

Big Mac: AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Narrator: Big Mac crash into the mud-banks hes engine go off with a BING!!!!!!!!!

big mac: OWWWWW!!!!!!!!

[Scene cuts to Ten Cents and Sunshine emerge from a canal into the open harbour. They pull up next to O.J, Warrior and Top Hat positioned near the quayside.]

O.J: Ten Cents, have you seen Big Mac?

Ten Cents: No, is there a problem?

O.J: The Princess Alice is due in early. We need him to bring her in.

Ten Cents: Err no… no I ain't seen him since the briefing!

O.J: Well you two, go on and look for him. The rest of us will just have to try and manage till he gets there.

Warrior: Yeah.

O.J: C'mon, lads!

[Cuts to show Warrior, Top Hat and Sunshine leaving the quayside to help the Princess Alice.]

Top Hat: Oh, the Princess Alice isn't going to like this!

Warrior: No…

[Scene fades to Top Hat, Warrior, O.J, Ten Cents and Sunshine helping to tow in the Princess Alice. The Fire Chief and the Port Authority are seen on standby. The Z-Stacks and some fishing boats watch the operation from the sides. The Princess Alice blows her horn.]

Warrior: I hope Big Mac gets here soon, Top Hat! This ain't gonna be an easy one!

Top Hat: Yes, where is he?? We'll never manage without Big Mac!

O.J: I'm worried about this. We need help to dock her! (to himself) Argh… C'mon, Big Mac! Where are you??

[Scene cuts to Ten Cents and Sunshine finding Big Mac. Ten Cents blows his hooter.]

Ten Cents: Oh there you are! [They see Big Mac is completely stuck on the mud-bank] Big Mac! 'Ere what's happened??

Big Mac: its Zip and Zug! Zip and Zug were giving me a hand, the next thing I knew, I was on this sandbank! They went for help.

Ten Cents: No they didn't - they're crooks, those two! C'mon, let's get you out of here!

[They all hear a long loud horn from the Princess Alice in the distance.]

Big Mac: There's no time! That's the Princess Alice! She's at the pier. You go and take over from me! O.J will tell you what to do.

Ten Cents: But I've never done anything like this be–

Big Mac: –You can do it! Get going!

Ten Cents: Oh okay…

Big Mac: We've got to show the Princess Alice the stuff the Star Fleet's made of!

Ten Cents: Yeah, right!

[Scene cuts to Top Hat and Warrior leading the docking of the Princess Alice. The Z-Stacks watch on from the sidelines.]

Narrator: The Star Fleet were doing their best without Big Mac. And for a while, it looked as though they were going to make it. [Cuts to Zorran, Zip and Zug watching the operation. Izzy Gomez is anchored nearby.] But Zorran was still waiting for another chance…

Zip: Ah, looks like your plan didn’t work, Zorran.

Zorran: Hmmm… if I could only get rid of that switcher ‘Sunshine’.

Zip: Thinking devious, eh Zorran?

Zorran: No - just thinking ‘contract’. Look - they’ve slowed her right back!

Narrator: As the tricky part of the docking operation started, Zorran watched closely. Sunshine and Ten Cents were working hard at their new job when O.J ordered Sunshine to ‘ease back’.

[Scene cuts to showing Sunshine, at the Princess Alice’ aft, slowly reversing away. Cut to Zorran fixing eyes on Sunshine.]

Zorran: This is where we win the contract!

[Zorran chugs towards Sunshine at speed.]

Narrator: Zorran saw his chance. When he thought no one was looking, [Scene briefly cuts to Izzy Gomez watching Zorran.] he moved hard on Sunshine!

[Zorran’s bow hits Sunshine’s stern. Sunshine shoots forward.]

Sunshine: WOAH! Hey, man!

Narrator: Sunshine went into the rudder of the Princess Alice!

[Sunshine collides into Princess Alice' rudder.]

Sunshine: Woah!

[Cut to Top Hat who looks concernedly back at the Princess Alice.]

Top Hat: I say, what’s going on?? She’s out of control - shit!

[Cut to Zorran steaming up alongside Ten Cents to the Princess Alice’ aft.]

Zorran: I got her, O.J!

Narrator: The unimaginable had happened: the Star Fleet had to accept help from the Z-Stacks.

O.J: Ooh…!

Zorran: (sniggers deviously)

Zip: Oh, so THAT’S ‘devious’!

[Cuts briefly to Izzy Gomez still observing the Z-Stacks. Cut to the Z-Stacks at the sidelines.]

Zak: Nice one, Zorran!

Zip: Well done, Zorran!

[Cut to Sunshine who has recovered and floating alone looking sadly at the tug fleets. Cut to wide shot of Zorran reversing away from the Princess Alice.]

Zorran: Glad to be of service! Hehehehe!

[The rest of the Star Fleet resume docking the Princess Alice. Cut to Sunshine steaming away from the fleet, past Izzy Gomez.]

Narrator: Ashamed and confused, Sunshine couldn’t explain what had happened. So he slipped away while the Star Tugs were still busy. He didn’t know the sleepy tramper, Izzy, had been watching the whole incident.

[Scene fades to black before it fades to nighttime in Bigg City Port. The Star Fleet are around the Princess Alice, enjoying the party of fireworks shooting into the sky and the live music. Cut to Sunshine watching sadly from a distance. Then, he moves off.]

Sunshine: Oh, nobody’s ever gonna talk to me again…

[Scene cut to Zero Marine Bigg City dock. Cut to Captain Zero’s megaphone addressing the Z-Stacks from the building.]

Captain Zero: Well, well, well, I congratulate you two!

Zorran & Zak: Oh thank you, sir!

Captain Zero: Good man, Zorran! Right attitude. Oh yes, one thing, no one saw you did they? Not even little err asshole?

Zak: Who, Sunshine? No, sir. No one saw us.

Captain Zero: Good! That’s very good! I’ll offer our services to the Princess Alice lines tomorrow.

Zorran: (sniggers)

Zak: Poor little Sunshine. Just wasn’t his day? (sniggers)

Zorran: (sniggers) No it wasn’t, was it…! Hehehe!

[Scene cuts to Izzy Gomez sitting in the fog.]

Izzy Gomez: Ay, I think Warrior forget me… What am I gonna do with these bananas?

[Scene cuts to Star Dock where all the Star Tugs have moored up. Warrior slowly passes by Ten Cents.]

Ten Cents: Hi, Warrior.

Warrior: Hello, Ten Cents.

Ten Cents: [to Top Hat] Yeah, maybe I should go and try and find Sunshine.

Top Hat: What do you mean? What on earth for?

Ten Cents: C’mon Top Hat, we all make mistakes. He must be feeling terrible.

Top Hat: Well so he should after all the trouble he caused!

Ten Cents: [to O.J] ‘Ere, what do you say O.J?

O.J: (sighs) Well, it’s up to you.

[Cut to Ten Cents chugging away. He toots his whistle.]

Ten Cents: Ah well, don't wait up.

Top Hat: Oh, there he goes. Always playing ‘Mr. Nice Guy’. What a bore…

[Cut to Ten Cents navigating his way through the port. Cut to Ten Cents’ POV at the foggy surroundings.]

Ten Cents: I can’t see much!

[Ten Cents navigates his way through a canal.]

Ten Cents: SUNSHINE! SUNSHINE!

[Cut to Sunshine sat alone at one of the quays.]

Sunshine: I’ll never live this down. Just when I really had a chance. Oh who’s gonna want me now…!

Ten Cents: SUNSHINE!

Sunshine: Ten Cents?? Oh no, he’ll never forgive me!

[Sunshine moves off out of sight just as Ten Cents rounds the next bend. A train passes on an overhead railway bridge, blowing its whistle loudly.]

Ten Cents: SUNSHINE! SUNSHINE!

[From Ten Cents’ POV, through the fog, a shrimper cuts straight in front of Ten Cents, shrilly blowing its loud horn. Ten Cents looks startled.]

Ten Cents: OH-OH!

[Ten Cents watches the shrimper sail off.]

Ten Cents: SUNSHINE, WHERE ARE YOU?!

[Sunshine is just visible through a gap between some quayside buildings and he can hear Ten Cents approaching.]

Sunshine: Oh!

Ten Cents: SUNSHINE!

[Ten Cents becomes closer to Sunshine’s hiding place. Sunshine reverses out of sight behind the buildings.]

Sunshine: I don’t wanna talk to him.

[Ten Cents draw up along the quay and look through the gap.]

Ten Cents: Are you there? Oh, it’s so hard to see. SUNSHINE! [Ten Cents carries on further. He sees a lighthouse in the distance.] Lillie! Maybe he’s out there!

[Sunshine watches Ten Cents head off.]

Sunshine: Maybe I should try and go home? There’s not much point in stopping here.

[Sunshine moves out from his hiding place. Ten Cents approaches Lillie Lightship and sees Hercules next to her at the harbour mouth.]

Lillie Lightship: Hi, Ten Cents.

Hercules: Ah, Ten Cents!

Ten Cents: Lillie- oh, Hercules! Thank goodness you’re back!

Hercules: Yes, only just. Why, what’s the problem old chap? Everything went alright with the Princess Alice, I hope?

Lillie Lightship: And why shouldn't it?

Ten Cents: Everything was just fine..! Err– she docked, and err… everything..! No I was err.. just looking for Sunshine. Thought you’d maybe seen him?

Lillie Lightship: Why, no.

Ten Cents: Ah.. ah well.. well see ya!

Lillie Lightship: Bye, Ten Cents.

[Scene fades to Sunshine chuffing up the coast near the mud-banks.]

Sunshine: I’ve just got to get home somehow. By… this fog’s thick..! I cannae get me bearings..! I just.. I dunno which way…!

[Cut to Ten Cents chugging through the thick fog.]

Ten Cents: I wonder where Sunshine went? Ah, it’s real creepy and chilly out here tonight.

[Ten Cents hears a creaky moaning sound from afar.]

Ten Cents: ‘Ere! ‘Ere, what’s that?! Who's there?!

[Ten Cents draws closer through the fog and sees Izzy Gomez, still anchored where he was.]

Ten Cents: Ah Izzy, it’s you!

Izzy Gomez: Eh and about time, too. Warrior promised me a tow.

Ten Cents: Well I’ve gotta find Sunshine!

Izzy Gomez: Why? What’s the matter?

Ten Cents: He disappeared. I suppose he’s ashamed after causing the accident with the Princess Alice.

Izzy Gomez: Sunshine didn’t cause no accident. I saw it - Zorran pushed him!

Ten Cents: What?! Are you sure?!

Izzy Gomez: As sure as I know I got a load of bananas and I need a tow!

Ten Cents: Yeah, I had a feeling those Z-Stacks were up to something! ‘Ere wait a minute, I must tell the others!

[Ten Cents chuffs away leaving Izzy Gomez alone.]

Izzy Gomez: Ay, what about my tow?? Eh….

[Scene cuts to Ten Cents racing into the Star Pier to tell the other tugs, blowing his hooter loudly.]

Ten Cents: Oi, you lot! C’mon! Oi, wake up!

Top Hat: (indistinctive yawns)

O.J: Why? What is it?

Ten Cents: Listen! Izzy told me he saw everything!

O.J: What?? ‘Sleepy Izzy’? What did he see?

Ten Cents: Well, he saw the accident– I mean, he saw why Sunshine had the accident!

Top Hat: Well, so what? He had it and that’s enough!

Ten Cents: But it was Zorran who hit Sunshine! That’s what made him lose control! Izzy saw it!

O.J: Oh I wondered why Zorran appeared so quickly..! You’re right, Ten Cents. Izzy could have seen everything.

Ten Cents: He did! Look, you just gotta believe him! Sunshine isn’t a clumsy tug! I can tell by working with him!

O.J: Alright, alright! Now, you’ve looked everywhere for him, Ten Cents?

Ten Cents: Yeah, everywhere! Even as far out as Lillie!

O.J: Hmmm… well, if I were Sunshine, I guess I would have tried to make it home.

Ten Cents: That’s it… Yeah of course, that’s it! Upriver! Yeah, c’mon!

O.J: Now the rest of you follow Ten Cents. I’ll stay here and tell Captain Star.

Warrior: Oh dear! Poor old Sunshine! We done him wrong!

Big Mac: I’m with you, Ten Cents! C’mon, Warrior! Top Hat!

Top Hat: Well, as I’m doing nothing better..

Warrior: Yeah, let’s go!

[The Star Fleet set out from the Star Dock and head upriver. They arrive to find Sunshine crashed onto the mud-bank.]

Narrator: It's as well Ten Cents and the others set out to look for Sunshine. He’d been holed and was in danger of sinking.

Sunshine: Oh ‘eck, not the lads….

[Ten Cents pulls alongside Sunshine and the others follow.]

Ten Cents: Hey you guys, look I found him! What a mess! We’re gonna need a crane.

Sunshine: Ah doesn’t matter really… Just leave us alone. I’ve caused enough trouble….

Top Hat: Ahem! Err- In matter of fact, we found out it wasn’t your fault, heh. So everything’s alright now!

Sunshine: Eh?

Ten Cents: An apology from Top Hat! I don’t believe it!

Sunshine: D’you think Captain Star would have us back?

Ten Cents: Yeah I’m sure he will! Izzy told me everything!

Warrior: Suffering stacks! Izzy! I completely forgot!

[Cut to Warrior racing off to find Izzy. Scenes cuts to next morning at the Zero Fleet dock. Captain Zero is addressing Zorran, Zak and Zip.]

Captain Zero: So it turns out you were seen.

Zorran: Impossible! I made sure.

Captain Zero: Don’t argue with me! You were seen! Now the Princess Alice knows what you did and we don’t get the contract! What kind of idiot do I have working for me?

Zip: Really devious!

Zorran: grrrrrrrrrr!

Zak: Um, sorry about that, sir.

Zip: Sorry…

Captain Zero: SORRY?! SORRY?! I DON’T WANT TO HEAR! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT, ALL OF -

Zorran: SHUT UP!!! CAN YOU SHUT UP!?!? LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!

(In the midst of the destruction going on, the Internet router getting destroyed resulted in the Wi-Fi disconnecting.)

zip: Hey, Zorran!(Zorran whacks Sunshine away.)

zug: HEY!! WHY YOU LITTLE- (WHACK!)

Zorran: (grabs zug) Get out! GET OUT! GET OUT!!!!

(He fires the zug Launcher at the stars.)

Zorran: IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT! IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT!!!!!!! IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT!!!!!!

(The stars flee in a panic.)

zak: What's gotten into him!?!

zip: I DON'T KNOW!! HE'S NEVER BEEN LIKE THIS BEFORE!!

(Zorran pants in frustration.)

(cuts to Billy Shoepack is an alligator tug who resides up river.)

Billy Shoepack: What’s happened? and why is there a big fire in a city?

boomer: Told ya, mr Shoepack! Jinxed!

Captain Zero: OI! IDIOT!!

(Zorran turns to face him with the burning fury of a thousand suns.)

Captain Zero: why are you acting like THIS!?!

Zorran: NONE OF YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORK I DO!!!!! (He puts the router back on the shelf.)

zip: (Pulling the paper out of his pocket) But Zorran, the Main Event-

Zorran: JUST LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE NIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(He heads back to his room and slams the door harshly, leaving his friends wordless at him suddenly acting out of character. zip tearfully looks down at the paper in his hands. It's a drawing he drew just for Zorran, as an award for being his best friend...)

Coast Guard: As for you, Zorran. I’ll report this. going insane means a hefty 100000000000000000$ fine!

Zorran: Eh hem. I changed my mind Coast Guard, i am sorry....

Fire Tug: That’s not what I heard. You’re coming with me!
