This needs a name...

Also, my cat looks very displeased...

Catch 52

Randomer in a desperate attempt to please his visiting father attempts to win a game of nearly impossible solitaire. Meanwhile, Camera and Benny ask the local lone shark for money.

(Benny sits at his table with his books, a poster with a missing turtle on it. Lion and Kronis are playing go fish, Wolf is half asleep behind her register due to the fact that the only customer in the Sampson and some mother who's carrying a crying infant in the Self Help Section. Erin is reading a comic book. Dark and Cheker are in the middle of a conversation with Sampson. Camera walks in and looks at Benny.)

Camera: Still no luck Benny?

Benny: No. And the owner wants me to pay for the turtle... with money I don't have.

Camera: Story of everyone's life.

Benny: You're not even in collage yet.

(Camera sighs and mutters something about having a degree in art history and takes one more look at the turtle poster and then at Benny.)

Camera: Look, I know a guy, who knows a guy that could help us.

Benny: Camera, do you even know the guy?

Camera: Which one?

Benny: The Guy, who the guy knows.

Camera: I've met him once.

Benny: Well, are his services legal?

Camera: Does it matter?

(Benny thinks for a moment.)

Benny: When can we talk to him?

Camera: I'll... get back to you...

(Camera walks off, past Lion and Kronis.)

Kronis: Do you have a four?

Lion: Go fish.

(Kronis takes a fishing rod and attempts to fish a card off the table. Lion watches as the hook scratches against the cards, she watches this go on for a bit.)

Lion: I think you take this game too literally.

(Kronis turns around to face the table where Sampson, Cheker and Dark are sitting, and Camera has just sat down.)

Kronis: Okay people, is this game called Go Fish?

Sampson: Yes...

Kronis: Does one not fish when people ask them too?

Cheker: Depends.

Kronis: Can one not be creative and pretend that their fishing?

Lion; Please play like a normal person and take a damn card from the pile! There's a river running through town you can fish in after work!

Kronis: You people have no imagination.

Dark: My art teacher yelled at me when she saw what my imagination was like, so I stopped using it.

Cheker: Ouch...

(Randomer enters the bookstore with a man in a sweater vest, it's his father, Richard.)

Randomer: Hey Guys!

(Everyone looks at him, including the mother in the self help section.)

Mother: It should ladies and gentlemen! I'm not a guy.

Erin: People like you are what's wrong with the world!

(The mother walks up to the counter and puts a book about putting children up for adoption on it.)

Mother: I'm a feminist. I'm trying to help make the world a better place for us under appreciated people.

Richard: (To Randomer) Are all Americans like this.

Randomer: Mostly.... Would you like a coffee?

Richard: Risking being called a stereotype, I'd like a tea.

(Randomer and his father walk up to the cafe counter and Erin waits on them. Camera's phone goes off, and he runs over to Benny's table almost bumping into it.)

Camera: He can meet us here at noon today.

Benny: Okay Camera, I'm going to head home and grave some stuff. I'm not going to take any chances if the guy has legal methods or not.

(Randomer and his father sit down at the table across from Kronis and Lion. Randomer realizes that he should be ordering the drinks)

Randomer: I'll uhhh... go get our drinks.

(Randomer runs off to the counter of the cafe. Richard looks at Kronis as he gets the fish hook through one of the cards.)

Richard: What the bloody hell are you doing!

(Kronis takes the card off of his fishing hook.)

Kronis: Playing Go Fish!

Lion: And it's been taking two hours.

(Kronis puts the card in his hand, and most of them have holes in them from the fish hook. He takes a closer look at Richard.)

Kronis: You look a lot like Randomer.

Richard: He's my son.

Kronis: He's a good kid, and one of my best friends. He taught me the easiest way to use a can opener, and it's not the way they teach you either. I guess it's because he's an engineer in a tin can factory.

(Richard glares at Randomer as he walks over.)

Richard: I thought you worked as an engineer at an electric car company!

(Randomer casts a glare at Kronis and Kronis shrugs.)

Randomer: Uh.... the can company gives the recycled tin cans to an electric car company.

(Richard angrily grabs his tea from his son.)

Richard: I thought my son was an intelligent, honest person who went to America because he got an excellent job at an ELECTRIC CAR COMPANY! Not a tin can factory! You're just as stupid and dishonest as the rest of these foolish Americans.

Cheker: Oh shit...

Dark: Shots fired!

Sampson; Are you always like this?

Dark: The last time I was really nice a drunk homeless man robbed me blind, and stole the keys to my car... that was a rough day.

Sampson: It seems like people have been putting you down your whole life, I understand how that feels.

Richard: For Christ's sake! Would you let me scold my con in peace!

Lion: Don't worry, I'll get them out of the way. (Stands up) Who wants to play a game of Life?

(Wolf walks out from behind the counter)

Wolf: I call red! (Turns to Richard) Uhh, can you uhhhh, take your bickering to my storage room.

(Richard drags Randomer to the storage room while everyone settles down to a game of Life. Meanwhile Camera and Benny enter the bookstore dressed as the Blues Brothers.)

Camera: Why are we dressed like this?

(He and Benny sit back down behind Benny's table.)

Benny: This is what I had disguise wise, besides, it doesn't hurt to look like the Blues Brothers.

Camera: Who are they?

Benny: After this we're watching the movie.

(In the back room Randomer is sitting on a stack of Who But W.B Mason boxes while Richard paces back and fort.)

Richard: You told me a big fat lie! I've been going around telling everyone what an intelligent and honest person my son is.

Randomer: I thought that was mums job.

Richard: You stay quite! I'm disappointed in you. You just destroyed the father son trust!

Randomer: I thought it was gone after I accidentally hit and killed our cat.

Richard: That was you?

Randomer: Ohhhhh, so you didn't know...

Richard: Randomer, you expect me to be proud of of you after you lied to me and your mother and I payed a lot of money for you to come here. This is unacceptable. (Randomer squirms on top of the boxes.)

Randomer: Is there anyway you could ever trust and be proud of me again.

Richard: (clearly being sarcastic) Win a game of 52 Pickup.

(Randomer stands up and the boxes he was sitting on fall onto the floor.)

Randomer: I know you were being sarcastic, but that's exactly what I'll do!

(Randomer storms out and Richard looks shocked.)

Richard: Fucking Idiot.

(At Benny's table a man dressed like a cheap mob boss and a younger man carrying a bunch of boxes walk in and sit down across from Benny and Camera. The older man is Rico and the younger one is Maxwell.)

Maxwell: Dad, why are they dressed like the Blues Brothers?

Rico: Max... I really don't know.

Benny: (sizing the two up) So.... since when does Misty Pines have a mafia?

Rico: I'll be-

Maxwell: (interrupting his father) Ever since the Chief of Police here hired us to cause trouble to keep the boys busy.

Rico: Max...

Maxwell: Before us, the only things that happened here were officers giving out tickets for speeding.

Rico: Max.

Maxwell: We're responsible for all the graffiti around town, the littering and that one hit and run of a deer that was eating the wife of the chiefs Hydrangeas.

Rico: Max! (Max slumps in his seat. Benny and Camera both look extremely awkward.) Did you learn nothing from The Godfather?

Maxwell: Leave the gun take the cannoli?

Rico: Christ no!

(Maxwell slumps even further in his seat, Camera is now doodling on his paper, Benny yawns texting away.)

Rico: Get in the car Max. Get in the car!

Maxwell: Fine...

(Maxwell leaves the bookstore looking depressed. Camera has his tongue sticking out as he's doodling. Benny's now looking at his phone. Rico is dumbfounded. Benny leans over to show Camera something on his phone and the two of them laugh. Rico checks his watch and clears his throat. Camera has gone back to doodling and Benny is scrolling through his phone. Rico clears his throat even louder and the two look up.)

Rico: So, I'm Rico. The Mob boss. And I assure we've committed more heinous crimes than the stick figure graffiti of a nude Virgin Mary. I can also assure you the men responsible for that were punished.... severely. So, you don't say a word about this to no one. Okay?

(Camera and Benny both nod.)

Rico: So, blonde Canadian, your friend Zachary is a good kid. I'm willing to help out the friend of a family friend.

Camera: (trying to sound tough and manly with a deep voice) It's my friend here who needs the help.

Rico: Aussie, whadda need?

Benny: Uh, good sir Rico, I seek to borrow some money.

Rico: Why not take out a loan from the bank? Do this all legally.

Benny: I don't want my fiancée to worry about debt when she checks the bank account.

(Rico considers this.)

Rico: How much doya need?

Benny: 300.

Rico: (pulling a piece of paper out of his-inner  jacket pocket.) Call this number and day the word Lizard if you agree with the terms and then give us an address.

(Rico walks out of the store. Both Benny and Camera take their glasses off dramatically.)

Benny: Let's see the terms.

(Benny opens up the piece of paper. Meanwhile Richard is sipping his tea while reading a book called, So Your Son is a Failure... What Now? Randomer is at the table across from him with four piles of cards in front of him and is frantically attempting to play 52 Pickup. Meanwhile Dark is winning Life. He's getting his pay raise.)

Lion: Dude you don't need any more money!

(Dark laughs as Kronis gives him some money. Randomer looks over at the game, Richard peers at his son over his book.)

Richard: Maybe you'll learn something about success from that kid.

(Randomer scowls as he restarts the game.)

(Two weeks later. Richard is gone, Randomer is still trying win his game. Rico's car pulls up to the bookstore and he walks up to the counter where Wolf is finishing up with a customer.)

Rico: Where's a Mr. Benny Bedlam?

Wolf: He's doing book signings today. In the cafe area.

Rico: Many thanks.

(Rico walks over to Benny, and Benny looks up concern on his face.)

Rico: Mr. Bedlam.

Benny: Ho- How do you know my name?

Rico: I'm not stupid. Now go get your friend Camera and let's talk.

(Benny shakily calls out Cameras name and the follow to the alleyway next to the book store. The two awkwardly sit down on a dumpster.)

Rico: Did you read the fine print?

Benny: No. It was way too tiny!

Camera: You didn't read the fine print? You always read the fine print!

Benny: This was like Times New Roman 0.5

Camera: Then get a magnifying glass!

Benny: Shut Up! Just shut up!

Rico: The both of yous shut it!

(Both Camera and Benny shut up and huddle closer together on the dumpster. Rico pulls out some Brass Knuckles.)

Rico: That's better. Now, the two week mark is up, and you get to the first people the mob here will be responsible for beating up... any last words?

(Both Benny and Camera start freaking out and begin speaking at the same time.)

Benny: (at the same time as Camera) But we were on a mission from God! I don't wanna die! I'll pay you back! I have a dog! Cats! I need to live for them! I'll do anything!

Camera: (at the same time as Benny) Please don't! I have so much to love for! I can cater parties for you if you'll spare my life! I'll do anything!

Rico: Silence!

(Benny and Camera stop and look at Rico.)

Rico: Camera, would you willingly cater parties for us to help pay off your friends debt?

Camera: Su-Sure.

Rico: You and your friend will be indebted to me, and will be catering my get togethers. Consider yourselves lucky.

(Rico leaves, leaving Camera and Benny awestruck. Back inside Erin is leaning over Randomer who's still playing this game.)

Erin: Why bother.

(Randomer ignores her.)

Erin: It doesn't really matter does it? He's across the ocean now, and you're here on your own... why should What he thinks matter?

(Randomer has only one more Ace left to go.)

Erin: I'm sure he's still proud of you.

(Randomer looks up at Erin all four aces revealed.)

Randomer: You were saying?

(Erin is dumbfounded. She stutters.)

Randomer: Shush, shush, sush, don't be shocked at my superiority and my dedication. It's okay to feel lesser than me now.

(Erin's face become beet red.)

Erin: You're and ass!

So..... hi.....

Uhhhh any ideas for a Christmas inspired Episode where Erin and Dark are the main characters?

I need coffee........
