Eddy: "Hey there, brave conquistador! Welcome to Ed and Nat's Peek Into the Future!" [He backs off, allowing us to see a giant cardboard futuristic city with a tunnel leading inside.] "See what marvels await you in the world of tomorrow! Only twenty-five cents." [He looks at Plank.] "Each, that is."

Jonny: "Plank wants to know if we'll live on Mars."

Eddy: "Maybe, maybe not." [He holds out a jar.]

[The door creaks open.]

Eddy: "The answers, my friend, are blowin' in the wind."

[Jonny enters, and Eddy slams the door. Suddenly the lights flip on, revealing many futuristic contraptions. Jonny begins to move.]

Jonny: "Wow, Plank! The floor is moving!"

Edd: "That's modernization, Jonny. Everyday tasks such as walking will be a thing of the past–in the future! Why, even the instinctive exertion of eating becomes effortless, my friend."

[A plunger swoops down and grabs Jonny, holding him up to a box. On the box are written "Food", "Wash", "Sleep", "Hair", and "Floss". Beside each option is a button.]

Edd: "All with the mere push of a button." [muttering] "Let's see, hygiene, wash, press, launder" [normally] "Ah! Here we go!"

[Edd presses the button. In the box, a sign pops up, reading "Food."]

Ed: "Food!"

[Two slots fly open, and a canful of beans hits Jonny in the face.]

Ed: "You're welcome!"

Edd: "Not a problem! The future knows no stain." [He presses the wash button.]

[Jonny is seated on a pillow. A diving helmet with a hose attached is plopped down on his head.]

Edd: "Lounge, as futuristic ingenuity removes any evidence of unmanageable edibles."

[The helmet fills with water and soap flakes. The hose then detaches, and a spoon stirs the water. Edd comes over and twists a tap, and the soapy water drains from the helmet. The helmet is then pulled off, and Jonny is left cleaned, albeit with a sudden Afro.]

Jonny: "Right on!" [The sidewalk moves again.]

[Eddy is on the driveway, jingling his change. He looks in at the coins.]

Eddy: "I'm a sap for ya. You know that, don'tcha?" [Someone taps his shoulder.] "Yeah yeah, the line starts over there." [The finger taps again.] "Hey! How 'bout I stick my foot right–"

[Behind him is Nazz. Eddy is taken aback–not by her beauty, but by the jawbreaker in her cheek.]

Eddy: "Hello!"

Nazz: "What's with the styling clothes, Eddy?"

Eddy: "Where'd you get that jawbreaker, Nazz?" [brought down] "Bazooka-chin Kevin, right?"

Nazz: "No way. It's customer appreciation day at the candy store, and they're giving away jawbreakers for free!"

Eddy: "FREE? YEEHA!" [He leaps into the air with excitement.]

Nazz: "But you better hurry. The store closes in ten minutes."

[Eddy leaps out of his costume and runs into his scam.]

[Jonny has televisions strapped to his feet.]

Jonny: "TV shoes?"

Edd: "For viewing on the go? Well, I didn't say the future was practical."

Eddy: [bursting in] "Forget this!"

Ed: "Yes, I will."

Eddy: "Jawbreakers! Free!" [He grabs a clock.] "Only ten minutes left!" [The clock ticks over a minute.]
