Outside, there is snow on the ground. The Smith house is decorated for Christmas, and Jerry can be heard singing Last King Christmas.
The kitchen is a mess of food in various stages of preparation. Jerry pulls a ham out of the oven as he sings.
Jerry:
Last King Christmas last arrived on the Christmas Christmas! *stops singing and smells the ham* Mmm... Jerry, you are really giving it to this ham.
Jerry enters the living room, where a tree stands with presents underneath it. Beth and Morty are occupied on tablets while Summer uses her smartphone.
Jerry:
Um, Merry Christmas? *puts his hands on his hips* Helloooo? My parents are coming over for the first time in years! Can we stow the gadgets and look alive?
Beth:
Alive? For your parents?
Jerry snags her tablet away and stows it in a stocking.
Jerry:
Good one.
Beth:
Hey man!
Jerry:
You ‘hey man’! This holiday is about humanity.
Morty:
*not looking up from his tablet* You know, I thought it was about being born half-God or something.
Jerry:
Okay, whatever. All electronic items are going in the stocking. Now.
Morty:
*hands over his tablet* Ohhhh...
Summer:
Dad, I'm not giving you my phone.
Jerry:
Put it in the stocking, Summer, or I'm joining Facebook.
Summer gasps and drops her phone in the stocking.
Jerry:
Where's Ethan?
Beth:
He went off planet with Gamora to catch a bounty.
She said still upset that her tablet was taken away.
Jerry:
He what!?
Morty:
He went to kill a wanted alien for something, but he's making money doing.
Jerry:
It doesn't matter if he's making money, those jobs are dangerous, and he.....
Beth:
He's making 40,000 Units.
Summer:
Is that, like a lot of money?
Beth:
Well according to Ethan, a Unit is 2.33 USD. So 40,000 Units is 93,200 USD.
Jerry:
Well...... it doesn't matter I don't want him doing those kind of jobs.
He said putting his foot down.
Beth:
Well, he's going to do it whether you like it not. Besides he's got Gamora watching him.
Jerry:
Yeah, about her...
Beth:
Jerry, don't you start.
Jerry:
She's 19, and he's 17 clearly a red flag here. It's....
She got out of her chair and got into his face. To which he flinched in fear.
Beth:
So what? He's happy, and I want to keep it that way.
Jerry:
Yes, dear.
Suddenly Rick was heard.
Rick:
*offscreen* Ho ho ho, everybody.
Rick and Ruben enter the house and Jerry approaches them.
Jerry:
More like whoa whoa whoa. What is this? My parents are coming!
