(Scene opens with Jerald H/KJ and his friends walking towards a restaurant on Halloween night)
Jerald H/KJ: Oh, dude. I'm famished! All of that trick-or-treating really gets to you!
John/SS: Yeah, no kidding. When we get to Jolly's, I swear I'm gonna order, like, one of everything on the menu!
Mary/BB: *groans* I just want to sit down! My feet are killing me!
Jerald H/KJ: The only one of us who isn't complaining right now is 'Mute.' He's used to this kind of exercise.
Marcus 'Mute'/DD: Yes, I am.
All: *walk up to entrance doors to Jolly's and walk inside*
Harold Denmark: Hello, welcome to Jolly's where we make sure you have a jolly good time! What would you like to order?
Jerald H/KJ: Let's see. I would like to get the Number 4 without pickles and with extra BBQ sauce, please.
Harold Denmark: *taps on cash register screen three times* Okay, what else?
Mary/BB: I am going to get the Number 7 with a side of fries.
Harold Denmark: *taps on cash register screen four times* All right, anything else?
John/SS: I'll get two Number 3s, and hold the tomatoes.
Harold Denmark: *taps on cash register screen three times* Okay, what else?
Marcus 'Mute'/DD: Just a Number 10 please.
Harold Denmark: *taps on cash register screen twice* Okay, your total comes down to... $12.72.
Jerald H/KJ: Okay. *pulls out wallet and pulls out two $5 bills and two $1 bills* Here's the $12. *hands the $12 to Harold and pulls out two quarters, two dimes, and two pennies out of his wallet* And here's the $.72. *hands Harold the $.72*
Harold Denmark: Alrighty. *opens cash register and places money inside slots* Would you like your receipt?
Jerald H/KJ: No thanks.
Harold Denmark: Okay, I'll have your orders out soon, in the meantime, have a jolly good time and and jolly good Halloween!
Jerald H/KJ: Thank you.
John/SS: You too.
Harold Denmark: *walks into back kitchen*
All: *walk over to four seat table*
Jerald H/KJ: *sits next to window*
John/SS: *sits across from Jerald H/KJ*
Mary/BB: *sits next to Jerald H/KJ*
Marcus 'Mute'/DD: *sits next to John/SS*
Jerald H/KJ: Okay guys. So, are you guys going to be busy this summer because there's this awesome musical theatre camp that I'm just dying to go to!
John/SS: Sorry, man. I've got Driver's Ed that my parents signed me up for.
Jerald H/KJ: Aren't you almost 17?
John/SS: I'm a slacker.
Jerald H/KJ: And yet, you made it to the Filming Arts & Acting Industry with us.
John/SS: My parents hadn't signed me up for Driver's Ed at the time.
Jerald H/KJ: Oh well. I'm sure you'll do just fine though. What about you, Mary?
Mary/BB: I would love to, but I'm going to be going to California to visit my uncle.
Jerald H/KJ: That's nice. How's he been?
Mary/BB: He's still a bit of an alcoholic, but I still love him.
Jerald H/KJ: He'll pull through. I know it. *looks up at 'Mute'*
Marcus 'Mute'/DD: I'm supposed to be in a marching band for two weeks. Sorry, man.
Jerald H/KJ: Man, since when did you guys get so busy all of a sudden?
John/SS: Dude, we are older, and the older we get, the busier we seem to get.
Jerald H/KJ: *groans* I took an entire week off to go there.
Mary/BB: I'm sorry. At least you'll probably make more friends there.
Jerald H/KJ: You won't even believe which camp it was that I was able to sign up for!
Marcus 'Mute'/DD: Which camp?
Jerald H/KJ: It's this expensive camp called 'Ca--'
John/SS: Wait a minute. Shouldn't our orders have been done by now?
All: *look over at counter*
Jerald H/KJ: They should have been.
Mary/BB: Do you think something happened?
Jerald H/KJ: Yeah, this is supposed to be fast food after all. *stands up and starts walking towards counter* Hello? *looks back at his friends and shrugs his shoulders*
John/SS: Go into the kitchen.
Jerald H/KJ: *growls and shakes his head* Fine. *walks around counter towards entrance to back kitchen* Hey! Is there something wrong with one of the machines or are you just working alone? *knocks on kitchen door* Hello?! *sighs* I'm tired of waiting! *opens kitchen door and walks into back kitchen*
Man: *breathes quietly and whispers* Leave.
Jerald H/KJ: *walks around corner and spots a man with a bruise on his face* What the...?!
Man: You've gotta... gotta leave, man!
Jerald H/KJ: What happened to you?!
Man: This man with a mask... he, he was angry... angry!!!
Jerald H/KJ: It'll all be okay! Hurry and get out of here!
Man: *slowly stands up and quickly runs out of the restaurant, yelling in fear*
John/SS: What the heck was that about?
Jerald H/KJ: Guys...
Marcus 'Mute'/DD: What's going on?
Jerald H/KJ: There's a maniac with a mask in here somewhere...
John/SS: Dude, we need to get out of here!
Jerald H/KJ: No! I'm going to look for whoever this is. *continues walking throughout kitchen* Come out, come out wherever you are! You know I'll find you! *walks up to kitchen freezer and opens it* Oh, jeez! *quickly shuts the freezer door* That is freezing!
Jolly: *walks into back kitchen slowly* Well, well, well.
Jerald H/KJ: *turns around and scoffs*
Jolly: What are you laughing at? Do I look funny to you?
Jerald H/KJ: You're a clown? You must be the guy that one scared dude was talking about!
Jolly: *sighs* I should've dealt with him instead of leaving him here.
Jerald H/KJ: You do realize that I'm not alone.
Jolly: Oh, yeah. I noticed. *laughs*
Jerald H/KJ: What's so funny?
Jolly: Oh, nothing. You're just so dumb! *laughs*
Jerald H/KJ: Are you... that kid who was working behind the register?
Jolly: *sarcastically* What? No, I couldn't be! *normal voice* Of course I am!
Jerald H/KJ: What makes you think you can put on a mask and start hurting people?!
Jolly: They started it.
Jerald H/KJ: Oh, my gosh. *shakes his head* So, you think it's right to fight evil with evil?
Jolly: I'm showing them that they shouldn't have messed with me!
Jerald H/KJ: *sighs*
Jolly: Oh, I'm sorry. Am I boring you? Well, let's heat things up. *runs over to Jerald H/KJ and grabs him* This is no laughing matter!
Jerald H/KJ: You don't have to do this!
Jolly: I do if it means making my point!
Jerald H/KJ: *kicks Jolly backwards slightly*
Jolly: You see? I can't get my point across unless I can keep a hold of you!
Jerald H/KJ: You want to keep me here?! I'm not going down without a fight!
Jolly: In that case, order up! *grabs a cutting board and throws it at Jerald H/KJ*
Jerald H/KJ: *ducks and dodges the cutting board*
Jolly: *throws a punch*
Jerald H/KJ: *catches his fist and punches him backwards*
Jolly: I'll give you one jolly good time!
Jerald H/KJ: We'll see if you can keep up with my jam!
both: *shout and lunge at each other*
