Chapter 14- Ricardio

Angle on Randoms INC

Cut to the inside

Tim is walking down the hall

Tim

“Huh?”

He noticed a large poster advertising a big party

Tim (reading)

“Talk-fest, key speaker being- (calling) MALCOM!”

Malcom walks in

Malcom

“What?”

Tim

“You didn’t tell me you were a speaker!”

Malcom

“It’s more of a hobby...”

Tim

“You have a speech today?”

Malcom

“Yes, it’s about freedom, diversity of thought, everything the mayor doesn’t stand for... speaking of which I actually need to get going...”

Tim

“While you’re gone, who’s gonna be in charge?!”

Malcom

“Sha-“

A potted plant transforms into Shade

Shade

“Nope!”

Malcom

“Uh-“

Shade

“I am DONE covering for you! You have so many meetings and rivals! It’s enough to drive me insane! So no...”

Malcom

“Well, maybe Paul-“

Pan over, Paul is relaxing in a room with the door open

Paul

“Not happening”

Malcom

“Well... if not him, then who?!”

Alex walks in

Alex

“I could-“

Malcom

“No! Not you two, you have a tendency to... mess things up...”

Tim and Alex look offended

Malcom

“I’m on a time-crunch... who’s gonna replace me?!”

The door bursts open

A figure stands, angelic light behind him

Alex and Tim

“Whoaaaaa!”

Malcom

“Is that... NO!”

Ricardio walks in

Ricardio

“It’s been some time hasn’t it? Brother!”

Tim

“Wha, whaaaa? WHAAAAAAA!”

Intro Plays

Malcom

“Ricardio...”

Ricardio

“That‘s me!”

Malcom

“It’s been like three days- What are you doing here?”

Ricardio

“Actually asking for a (winks) financial favor!”

Malcom

“No!”

Ricardio (slyly)

“Aw come on! I’ll make it up to you in some way, surely there’s something you want...”

Malcom

“Fine! I’ll help you if you watch the kids for a day!”

Ricardio

“No problem! Easy!”

Malcom

“Sure...”

Ricardio starts pushing him out the door

Ricardio

“Take it easy beautiful!”

Malcom

“I won’t-“

Ricardio slams the door

Ricardio

“Let’s get to work!”

Tim

“What just happened?”

Ricardio starts opening drawers

Ricardio

“Oh let’s see here...”

Tim

“What is he doing?”

Alex

“Clearly robbing us...”

Tim

“What?!”

Paul and Shade (in distance)

“ROBBED?!”

They run down and corner him

Alex

“Who do you think you are?”

Ricardio

“Ricardio Silva, Malcom Silva’s brother and gambling extraordinarie!”

Paul

“You’re robbing us”

Ricardio

“Well, technically Malcom said that as long as I watched the buisness he would help me with my financial problem, and that problem was I needed money!”

Tim and Shade nod at each other, clearly convinced

Alex and Paul (glaring at Tim and Shade)

“Morons”

Ricardio

“Heh, I think I got enough! Time for the “watching you” part!”

Alex

“You’re a con-man!”

Ricardio

“Heh... yeah...”

Ricardio starts walking out

Alex

“What are you doing?”

Ricardio

“Leaving. I’ve watched you enough”

Alex

“You came in, took our stuff, looked at us and then left?”

Ricardio (opening door)

“Yep”

Tim

“Hmm... hey Ricardio! Would be a shame to leave without the legendary TREASURE OF RANDOMS INC!”

Ricardio freezes and turns

Ricardio

“I’m listening!”

Cut to Malcom, arriving at a the Talk-fest, at Central Park

He exits his car, waving at paparazzi

Jameson, Safety Ninja and Anne are there, Jameson (of course) is glaring at him.

Jameson

“Look at him, so... annoying... is it right to be annoyed with how someone walks? Because I am...”

Safety Ninja

“Dude, you’re seriously overreacting”

Jameson

“HA HA HA HA! No...”

Anne

“Hey Safety Ninja, wanna eat some buffet goodness?”

Safety Ninja

“Yeah!”

Jameson

“Enjoy your food, I need to make Malcom look bad!”

Safety Ninja

“Okay- wait, haven’t you already ordered a bunch of random stuff for your ultimate plan thing?”

Jameson

“This is just a warm up act, I’m not expecting to ruin his reputation or anything!”

Safety Ninja

“Good, because that’s unrealistic thinking!”

Safety Ninja walks off to follow Anne

Jameson

“Note to self... lower expectations...”

Insert Jameson song

Cut back to Randoms, Ricardio is preparing for treasure hunting

Alex

“Tim! Since when is there a treasure of a Randoms INC?”

Tim

“Never! I made it up!”

Alex (sarcastically)

“Oh yeah, real smart!”

Tim

“What could possibly go wrong?”

Silence

Tim

“Okay now that I heard that out loud-“

Alex

“What happens when Ricardio finds out the truth?”

Tim

“Nothing! We just gotta distract him until Malcom gets back!”

Alex

“Why don’t we just kick him out?”

Tim

“Because it might (horrified at the thought) disappoint Malcom!”

Alex

“Ugh... fine... we gotta create the ultimate quest! With no reward... I guess...”

Tim

“Yeah! Let’s get to work!”

An ottoman transforms into Shade

Shade

“Ooh! I’ll set it up, I can play all the parts using my shapeshifting!”

Alex

“Well... okay...”

Shade

“PREPARE TO DIE RICARDIO SILVA!”

Alex and Tim look concerned

Shade (nervously)

“Line practice!”

Alex

“You haven’t been drinking coffee again have-“

Shade

“Shhhhhhh! That is not important right now”

His eye twitches

Alex

“Soooo... yes?”

Ricardio walks out, much later

Ricardio

“I’m honestly not surprised that Malcom never told me about the treasure, he’d probably say I‘d use it for *does air quotes* unacceptable behavior! Heh, let’s get going!”

Tim (bad acting)

“Y-Yes! It is this way! Follow me!”

Alex

“You’re not even trying...”

Tim (muttering)

“Shut up!”

They stop at a wall

Tim (continuing to suck at all he attempts to do... the stupid failure...)

“T-this is the place!”

Ricardio

“Excellent! It’s a wall... is there some kind of hidden switch or something... or-“

Tim

“you need a password! But woe, Malcom never told us it!”

Alex

“Do you wanna switch places? Because I wou-“

Tim nudges him

Alex

“Buh”

Ricardio

“Hmm... what would Malcom use as a password... I mean, what’s something he says a lot... maybe, ‘close that darned door?’”

The wall vanishes

Ricardio

“Heh, easy mode Malcom...”

Ricardio walks in

Tim (satisfied)

“Flawless...”

Alex (irritated)

“Flawed”

Back at the Talk-fest, Malcom is backstage checking his notes

Professional Blonde Man walks in

PBM

“Hey Malcom!”

Malcom

“Hey Mr. Mayor!”

PBM

“Please, call me by my actual name!”

Malcom doesn’t answer

PBM

“Professional Blond Man, obviously! It’s written on my socks for cryin’ out loud! Anyway, pssh, you got the speech ready?”

Malcom

“Yeah of course... I usually do...”

Professional Blond Man

“Okay cool... um... *mouth pop*... hows the wife?”

Malcom

“Wish I knew buddy... wish I knew...”

Meanwhile outside, Jameson is chatting to some well dressed individuals

Jameson

“I know, he just drowned some puppies! Just for the heck of it, heard it’s like in his top three things to do, along with nuclear warfare, and eating pizza rolls!”

Cut another crowd

Jameson

“Who Malcom? I haven’t supported him in years. Don’t you know he’s been developing horrid diseases in that tower of his?”

Cut another crowd

Jameson

“Purple suit man bad”

Back at Randoms, Ricardio the the boys enter Shade’s chamber

Ricardio

“Hmm... dark passageway, interesting stuff... reminds me of The Randoms Elite!”

Tim

“The what?”

Ricardio

“Just ask your old man about it when he gets back, I’m sure he’d tell you everything!”

Tim

“Hmm... okay!”

Suddenly Shade appears, disguised as a evil hooded guy

Shade

“Weeeeelcome... are you worthy?”

Ricardio

“Probably not, to be honest”

Shade

“I- don’t know how to respond to that...”

Alex is making frantic gestures

Shade

“Oh right, follow meeeeeee!”

They follow him across a bridge

Alex (whispering to Tim)

“How’d Shade even do this?”

Shade

“Stop! Your first task!”

Ricardio

“How many tasks are there?”

Shade

“Uh- as many as necessary!”

Ricardio

“Typical Malcom, blowing the budget on this of all things, what a joke!”

Shade

“Behind me are two passages! Only one is correct! Choose wisely!”

Ricardio

“No hint? Jeez, what a ripoff! Hmm...”

Shade

“Do you want a-“

Ricardio

“That will not be necessary thank you very much!”

Shade

“Sorry, you just complained about there being no hint, so I thought... ah, whatever”

Ricardio (studying the passages)

“Hmm”

Alex

“So, you gonna choose? Or...”

Ricardio

“This one!”

He goes through the left passage

Ricardio

“Come on kiddos!”

Tim and Alex glance at each other

Cut into the next room

A door comes down behind them

Shade appears

Shade

“You chose... poorly...”

Alex

“Seriously?”

Ricardio

“So... what happens now?”

Shade

“Death!”

Alex and Tim

“WHAAAAAAAT?!”

Shade (guzzling coffee)

“Hey, normal Shade and ‘Coffee Shade’ are two entirely separate entities!”

The ceiling begins to lower, it has spikes attached to it

Alex

“This was a bad idea”

Tim

“I’m starting to agree with you...”

Alex (panicking)

“We gotta do something!”

Ricardio starts feeling around the walls

Tim

“What are you doing?”

Ricardio

“When you’ve seen as much insanity as me, you don’t underestimate the likelihood of a secret exit! Found one!”

They jump down

It’s a stone slide leading down to the unknown

Alex and Tim are screaming, while Ricardio is going “weeeeeee”

They land

Shade

“Most impressive, surviving that! But can you fight this?”

A giant three-headed monster walks in

Alex (muttering furiously)

“He let the hydra out...”

Ricardio

“Finally! I’ll have to start trying!”

Back at the Talk-fest, Malcom gets onstage

Malcom

“Ladies and gentlemen, who’s having fun?”

Jameson is sneaking along, whispering in different voices

Jameson

“What?! He did that?! The Whole building?!” “Yeah man, up in flames! And no, the children didn’t make it out!”

A ripple of talk starts throughout the crowd

Malcom

“Huh? Oh c’mon...”

He sees Jameson

Malcom jumps up like a beautiful eagle, and lands on Jameson

Jameson

“HEY! This is my best, and only shirt!”

Malcom

“Are you seriously trying to spread fake rumors about me right now?”

Jameson

“Yep! And it’s working!”

Random Guest

“Not anymore, you just admitted to making up the rumors!”

Jameson

“This is the first step into your downward spiral in popularity, just like Robert!”

Randoms Guest

“You’re literally admitting to your evil plan, right here!”

Malcom

“You’re an immature idiot”

Jameson

“Would an immature idiot do this?!”

He throws some food at Malcom, staining his suit

Malcom looks furious

Safety Ninja and Anne are watching

Anne

“Hold up, is he?”

Safety Ninja

“Oh no...”

Malcom

“No one... touches... the suit...”

Malcom lunges at Jameson

Jameson

“AAAAAGH!”

PBM

“Oh gosh, I gotta get out of here!”

Safety Ninja

“I’ll help you, follow me!”

Anne

“Yeah, follow us!”

PBM

“You sure? Okay fine let’s go!”

They run off

Safety Ninja

“So unsafe”

Back at Randoms, we are treated with a montage of the gang going through different tasks

After it’s finished, we cut to an angle on Ricardio climbing a pillar, Shade hung back to talk to Alex and Tim

Tim’s phone rings

He grabs it

Tim

“Hello?”

Cut to Malcom, head locking Jameson

Malcom

“Yeah, I’m nearly finished here! I’ll be back soon!”

Jameson

“MY NECK! MY BEAUTIFUL NECK!”

Back at Randoms

Tim

“That’s great!”

Malcom

“Yeah, see you in a minute!”

He hangs up

Tim

“I got some great news!”

Shade appears

Shade

“I got some bad news-“

Alex

“Besides nearly killing us fifty times!”

Shade

“You were never in real danger! I think... anyway, I’m all out of ideas... sooo...”

Tim

“I didn’t want to resort to this...”

Tim hands Shade a note

Shade reads and gasps

Shade

“I understand...”

He teleports

Tim

“God speed Shade! God speed!”

Alex (sarcastically)

“Oh no... what can go wrong...”

They enter the next room

Alex (mumbling)

“Choose life”

Ricardio

“Well, This has been pretty easy! What the-“

A treasure-chest is sitting there

Ricardio

“That can’t be it... that’s too easy...”

He walks towards it

Tim

“Yeah, n-no idea what that could be”

Alex

“I hate everything about this situation”

Ricardio opens the chest

Tentacles come out, grab Ricardio and it starts screeching

Alex (panicking)

“YOU USED MALCOM’S CURSED CHEST?!”

Tim

“Hey, I told Shade I was desperate!”

The chest sprouts more tentacles out of the bottom of the chest and begins to walk

Alex

“Can we be concerned now?!”

The chest breaks through the wall

Tim

“Maybe a little?”

Cut to Malcom driving

Malcom

“🎵I just beat Jameson at the life game- WHAT NOW?!”

He noticed the chest climbing the side of the tower

Malcom (furiously)

“Ricardio!”

Cut to the tower, the chest and Ricardio are climbing the side

Ricardio

“Might need to do more than try...”

He flips out of the chests tentacles and fights

It eats him

Ricardio

“Agh!”

Tim and Alex are trying to climb up after him

Tim

“Oh geez!”

Alex

“Oh! Now he realizes!”

Tim

“Aw man! I’ve been kinda-“

Alex

“An idiot”

Short silence

Tim

“That’s a nice way to put it...”

They make it to the roof, the chest is waiting

Tim

“I gotta undo what I’ve done!”

The chest opens its mouth

Ricardio

“Help me!”

It shuts it again

Alex

“Is that a challenge?”

Chest opens

Ricardio

“Yes!”

Close

They charge at each other, the fight is on

There’s dodging, punching and pain

Until suddenly

???

“‘Ey Chester!”

The chest turns

Malcom is there

Tim

“Malcom!”

Malcom

“I know about Ricardio’s schemes! I’ll save you!”

Malcom defeats the chest with ease

After it’s defeated, it pukes out Ricardio

He looks well, considering he was just eaten by a box

Ricardio (slickly)

“H-hey! Malcom, How was the speech?”

Malcom

“Well-“

Flashback, Professional Blond Man runs off with Safety Ninja and Anne

Safety Ninja

“Stay here, I gotta deal with my man-baby boss”

Jameson is pinned down

Jameson

“YOU’LL NEVER WIN!”

Malcom

“Seriously?”

Jameson stutters for a moment, before settling

Jameson

“I’ll allow... one more victory...”

Malcom lets go

Jameson

“But just you wait! Next time we meet, you’ll be feelin’ the pain!”

Malcom

“Feelin’ the pain?”

Jameson

“FEELIN’ THE PAIN!”

Brief silence

Malcom

“K”

Back to reality

Malcom

“SHUT UP!”

Malcom grabs Ricardio’s tie

Malcom

“You put my family in danger, NO GREATER CRIME! So I don’t wanna see your stupid face around here ever again!”

Ricardio

“Wha? Oh come on, I was just playing your little game! Which was ridiculously dangerous by the way!”

Malcom

“Oh you little-“

Tim

“Wait! It’s my fault! All of it! I led Ricardio astray, I caused the chest problems, I nearly got us all killed!”

Malcom

“Oh...”

Tim

“And I’m sorry... too...”

Malcom

“Tim, you got double the work for a week!”

Tim

“Wait, you’re not disowning me?”

Malcom

“No! Of course not! Ricardio’s a scumbag anyway, wouldn’t have been a real shame if he got eaten by Chester!”

Ricardio

“Harsh, but honestly true! See ya at next week’s meeting Malcom!”

He almost steps off the roof

Ricardio

“That is a drop! I’ll take the stairs”

The End
