[first lines]
[Ren is about to sit down to watch the news as Louis and Twitty sit down on the couch in matching raincoats, wearing umbrella hats and carrying seltzer water bottles]
Ren Stevens : No, no, no! You guys, don't!
Louis Stevens : What?
Ren Stevens : I was just about to watch Cynthia Mills do the six o'clock news. I don't think so.
Louis Stevens : Well, that's great because as soon as her boring news program is over; we get to watch the hilarious antics of Zippy Winds!
[Louis and Twitty cheer and high five each other; Ren turns on the TV]
KSAC News Announcer : Live from our studios in downtown Sacramento with our Action News team, anchor Cynthia Mills, sports with Sluggo Bydell, and Zippy Winds with the weather. Time for the K-SAC News.
[Louis and Twitty cheer again once Zippy is mentioned]
Cynthia Mills : Good evening, Sacramento. I am Cynthia Mills with tonight's news.
Ren Stevens : Isn't she great? She's so honest and intelligent and hard-hitting.
Cynthia Mills : Our top story: horticultural history was made today as the town of Gilroy unveiled the world's largest garlic clove.
Louis Stevens : [regarding the report] Oh, it's so hard-hitting and honest, and...
Ren Stevens : Yeah, well, it's a slow news day.
Cynthia Mills : And for our young news hounds, don't forget to send in your audition tape so you can be my junior reporter!
Ren Stevens : Don't worry, Cynthia. I am on it!
[Ren salutes to the TV]
Louis Stevens : Wait, you're gonna be her junior reporter?
Ren Stevens : Well, first I have to submit a tape. You know with some sample news coverage? But I have some great ideas. You know, the "Wombat Report"? All that experience is paying off!
Alan Twitty : [enthusiastically] Dude, you get to meet Zippy!
[Twitty applauds]
Ren Stevens : Dude, don't call me "dude"; and yeah, probably. But I... I... that's not on my list of priorities really.
Louis Stevens : Ren, you need to promise us on all that is holy that when you get the job and I know you will! You'll get it!
Ren Stevens : Thanks.
Louis Stevens : No matter what that you'll introduce us to Zippy Winds. Promise. Scout's honor. Do it right now! "I swear..." Ren?
Ren Stevens : Fine, ok.
Louis Stevens : Yeah!
