surrounded by snacks as they watch a MUSCLE FISH MARATHON on TV (O.S.) We cut to the television screen as the current movie ends. Muscle Fish stands triumphant over his foe CEPHALOPLEX. MUSCLE FISH That “OCTO” be a lesson for you, Cephaloplex. And remember, Kids! You can never be too extreme! The credits begin to roll as the movie fades out. TV ANNOUNCER Up next we continue our 24 Hour Muscle Fish marathon with MUSCLE FISH VS THE WOLF CLAMS FROM NEPTUNE! LINCOLN Oh man, I can’t believe we’ve already been up for 16 hours watching Muscle Fish! I don’t know about you, buddy, but I’m not even sleepy! CLYDE No way! The two boys cheer each other with their Flippees and take a long drink. They blink. They instantly fall asleep. We cross dissolve into their shared dream. EXT. FLIP’S FOOD AND FUEL--DAY LINCOLN Boy, I sure could use a Flippee refill right about now. INT. FLIP’S FOOD AND FUEL--DAY DING! The boys enter into Flip’s fine establishment only to discover absolute chaos! LICOLN/CLYDE No way! The camera zips to reveal: LICOLN/CLYDE MUSCLE FISH!!! Made in Highland
being EXTREME! QUICK MONTAGE OF MUSCLE FISH BEING DOPE AS HELL (note: after each action, MUSCLE FISH screams “MUSCLE FISH!”). -- MF pours Flipee from the machine directly into his mouth (gurgling “MUSCLE FISH!”) -- MF squirts a bean and cheese burrito directly into his mouth and then ‘bathroom towel’ flosses between his legs with the empty tortilla -- MF leaps and lands onto his back on the sizzling hot dog rollers and imitates sizzling himself. LINCOLN This is awesome! I can’t believe Muscle Fish is really here! Oblivious, MUSCLE FISH admires his muscles in the reflection of the refrigerator doors. FLIP storms up to Muscle Fish. FLIP That’s it! This is a mostly family-friendly establishment and I ain’t got the time for some FISH MAN being extreme and ruining the place! FLIP holds up a FLIPS FOOD AND FUEL ULTRA VIP GOLD CARD with MUSCLE FISH’s photo on it. He effortlessly rips it in two. FLIP YOU ARE NO LONGER WELCOME AT FLIP’S FOOD AND FUEL! LINCOLN and CLYDE gasp. EXT. FLIP’S FOOD AND FUEL--DAY Muscle Fish sits outside of the Food and Fuel, dejected and depressed. MUSCLE FISH (sadly) ...muscle fish... The boys walk up to Muscle Fish and try to console him. LINCOLN It’s okay, Mr. Muscle Fish. 2. Made in Highland
for loitering while his mom was paying. MUSCLE FISH But boys, this is where I buy all my necessities! Protein shakes, Flippees, night crawlers, HAIR GEL! Muscle Fish falls deeper into despair. Clyde and Lincoln look at each other concerned. Suddenly, the two share an idea. LINCOLN What if we make you less extreme and then you can show Flip that you should be allowed to shop at the Food and Fuel again! MUSCLE FISH But how? The boys look at each other with a smug, knowing look. Another montage! -- close up of MF’s gnarly toenails as the boys sand them down -- They remove his dorsal fin piercing and spackle the hole -- they comb down his powerful mohawk as MF reads a book on Etiquette -- shot of MF standing on a crate as Lincoln and Clyde tailor him some new clothes Lincoln and Clyde step back to admire their handiwork. We reveal a new and improved NORM-CORE MUSCLE FISH. CLYDE Now that’s what I call a relaxed fit! LINCOLN Let’s go get you that VIP membership back, Muscle Fish! INT. FLIP'S FOOD AND FUEL DING! The boys walk in with a new and refined Muscle Fish. FLIP I thought I told you you weren’t welcome ‘round here no more, Fish Man. 3. Made in Highland
nervous Muscle Fish walks to the Flipee machine. Instead of sucking it straight from the machine, he fills a cup and then drinks from it pinkie out. FLIP Okay, Fish Man, I’m sold! SUDDENLY! CEPHALOPLEX bursts into the Food and Fuel. CEPHALOPLEX Ha! There you are, MUSCLE FISH! I challenge you to a rematch! MUSCLE FISH I’ve put that life behind me, Cephaloplex. I’m a normal, well behaved member of society now. POW! CEPHALOPLEX sends Muscle Fish flying. Cephaloplex turns menacingly to a frightened Flip. FLIP (sheeplishly) Hey, uh, Squid Man. You a preferred member? The boys rush to a meek Muscle Fish. LINCOLN MUSCLE FISH! You have to stop Cephaloplex! CLYDE You have to be extreme again! MUSCLE FISH But I don’t remember how? LINCOLN You have to try! Muscle Fish walks up to Cephaloplex like a nerd. MUSCLE FISH Hey, uh, Cephaloplex, I would really appreciate it if you didn’t-- 4. Made in Highland
shelving. Ghostly Heads of Clyde, Lincoln and Flip circle around the dizzy Muscle Fish. LINCOLN/CLYDE/FLIP You have to remember! Be Extreme! Membership! Muscle Fish’s mohawk snaps back into place. MUSCLE FISH! I ‘member! MF flexes out of his norm core clothes to reveal his normal attire. Cephaloplex razzles a terrified Flip. From offscreen we hear: MUSCLE FISH MUSCLE FIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSHHHH! BOOM! MUSCLE FISH knocks CEPHALOPLEX straight out of the food and fuel leaving a Cephaloplex shaped hole in the wall. The kids cheer. Flip approaches MF. FLIP Geez, thanks, Fish Man. Here, you are officially reinstated as a VIP member of Flips Food and Fuel. Flip hands MF a taped together membership card. MUSCLE FISH (tearfully) This wouldn’t have happened without the help of you two human children. Thanks! Muscle Fish slaps the boys on the back which causes a MATCH CUT back to the boys on the couch. INT. LOUD HOUSE--NIGHT The boys wake up on the couch. LINCOLN Dang it. We must have drifted off for a second. I had the weirdest dream though. CLYDE Yeah, me too. But at least we didn’t miss much of the marathon. 5. Made in Highland
the Muscle Fish marathon. Muscle Fish single handedly takes out a group of foes then turns to the camera. He takes a long drink from a Flippee. MUSCLE FISH (with a wink) Thanks again, boys! CLYDE/LINCOLN Huh? THE END 6. Made in Highland
