SC 77 EXT PATOOTIE-DAY

Manakin, Patme and Jab-Jab are working on Manakin's podracer. His three friends MAISY, KISSED-HER and BALD come out into the yard laughing.

KISSED-HER: Wow! A real Astro-Pop! (referring to R2) How'd you get so lucky?

MANAKIN: Well, I'm not old enough for that, yet (looks at Patme) but someday....

Whack

PATME: You little freak!

MANAKIN: Guess what? I'm entered into the Boonta Tree Classic tomorrow.

MAISY: Aren't those poisonous? And I thought they were only on Brendok?

MANAKIN: No, the race.

MAISY: Ooooh, that Boonta Tree Classic! What, with this? It's never gonna run!

Whack

MANAKIN: You watch your mouth, woman!

BALD: You're such a joker Mani!

MANAKIN: You, too!

Meanwhile JAB-JAB is working heedlessly beneath some energy binders.

MANAKIN: (CONT'D) Be careful not to get your hand caught in those energy binders, it'll go numb for hours.

JAB-JAB: Okeday. (Gets his hand, then his head, then his whole body stuck in the binders for several minutes, then his wrench falls out of the turbo engine and Patme gets him unstuck.)

After MAISY and BALD take JAB-JAB away on a stretcher, KISSED-HER says to MANI:

KISSED-HER: I'm sure you'll do it this time.

PATME: Do what?

KISSED-HER: Finish the race, of course.

PATME (stupefied): You've never won a race?!

MANAKIN: Well.....

PATME: Not even finished?! What the HELL are we getting ourselves into?

MANAKIN: Kissed-her's right, I'll finish the race this time!

LI-GON: (Lifts him onto the pod.) Of course you will. You better, or else! Use this convenient and unexplained power pack.

MANAKIN plugs the power pack in, flips a few switches and OVERDRAMATIC MUSIC starts up.

MANAKIN: It's WORKING! It's WORKING! Yippeeeee! Yippeeeee! Yipppeeeeeee!

KISSED-HER: Make him stop saying Yipeee! (Covers ears)

Whack

MANAKIN shuts up.
