 * Aristotelis : [turning off the TV] Ah! What was that? Why was Helmet suddenly going off topic on national television?
 * Man: What have you done to us!?
 * Aristotelis : I don't understand.
 * Mili : BFDI is ruined because of you!
 * Aristotelis : If you think you can barge into my office like that, you're … uh, fired!
 * Less Than Sign : Hold!
 * Aristotelis : What now?
 * Less Than Sign : Just listen, sir. I know what's going on! According to a hypothesis by Test Tube, the whole city's going mad.
 * Aristotelis : Tell me why.
 * Less Than Sign : Well, sir, an unknown force has penetrated into Earth forcing all of us objects to be brainwashed into worshipping BFDI.
 * Aristotelis : What?
 * Less Than Sign : You heard me, sir. They're targeting the oldest people right now! At 10:20, the centenarians are affected, 10:30, the old people like Helmet, Mili and Man are affected [several minutes later, and an angry crowd has gathered Aristotelis] 11:42 half of the population suddenly gets possessed, five minutes before noon all the schoolchildren are affected by BFDI and who knows what will happen at twelve due to our society essentially collapsing from the BFDI forces. I'm sorry, sir, if I have bored you, sir.
 * Aristotelis : I'm not bored. In fact, I'd rather take action!
 * Less Than Sign : And now for a maths problem. [Aristotelis groans] Because I am 59 years old, how long will it take me to get possessed?
 * Aristotelis : Uhhhhhhh … 11:01?
 * Less Than Sign : Correct. Now check the clock.
 * Aristotelis : It's 11.
 * Less Than Sign : Goodbye! [LTS waves goodbye poignantly, but does not walk away. Then she becomes possessed.] BZZZT! BZZZT! BFDI can save you 15% or more on life insurance! In 15 minutes, sir! 15 … MINUTES!
 * Aristotelis : Oh no! It's going to be 15 minutes before I get possessed! [gets carried by the angry mob]
 * Crowd of workers > 59: You're fired! You're fired! You're fired!
 * Aristotelis : Hey, hey, you can't fire me; I'm your boss!
 * Crowd of workers > 58: We don't care, you just hate BFDI! BFDI is love, BFDI is life!
 * Aristotelis : What does that even mean?
 * Crowd of workers > 57: You're fired!
 * Man: Now we have to find a way to throw you overboard!
 * Crowd of workers > 56: Yeah!
 * Less Than Sign : This will hurt a bit, sir!
 * Crowd of workers > 55: Yeah!
 * Aristotelis : Woah, this is weird. Every second feels like a minute! [The crowd moves, and Aristotelis is possessed but nobody cares] Yes, yes, yes! Θα πρέπει όλοι να αγαπούν BFDI! Throw me out the window! Praise BFDIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! [gets thrown out]

4. School
Scene: After the suspenseful scene, it is lunch at school. Ruby, Bubble and Book are talking about what happened, while Pencil is crying with her head on the table. [They run up to Mrs. Chembe's classroom, peeping behind closed doors.] [They all run for about 45 seconds, and Pencil and the rest of the 17-year olds get possessed]
 * Ruby : Do you know what just happened?
 * Bubble : Yeah! All the oild profs are boiing possessed by BFD-oi!
 * Ruby : One minute Mr. Salacia's babbling about Trans-Neptunian Objects, and then he's screaming BFDI in our faces!
 * Bubble : Moy professors didn't do that to me!
 * Bo ok : I think it is correlated by age!
 * School Paper : Extra, extra, read all about it! [hands out printed blog]
 * Ruby : Huh, what's this?
 * Bo ok : [reading] "World gone mad", all in capital letters, eh? Well, let's see what's in it! "As the world's youngest newspaper writer, editor and professional journalist, it is highly doubted that any of these facts are true. [some time later] By now, almost half of the world's population has slowly gone insane by being possessed by the enemy's BFDI machine."
 * Ruby : What? That's ridiculous!
 * Bo ok : It gets creepier. "As a result, the majority of society has fallen to the virus, including the CEO of Oggezsco, Aristotelis Schreiber's unprecedented dismissal."
 * Bubble : What's so croipy about that?
 * Bo ok : Remember when SP gave us that paper? [They nod.] The number at the bottom said 43. Also-Match's-dad-just-got-fired-from-nearly-the-best-position-in-the-country-and …
 * Ruby : As in?
 * Bo ok : "Right now, people of the age of 43 are being converted to BFDI."
 * Bubble : So?
 * Bo ok : "People of the age of 39 are being converted to BFDI." Wait, I think it just changed into 38.
 * Ruby : Ha, it's not my fault you read slow!
 * Bubble : Woit! That's my parents' ages!
 * Bo ok : I think all of our parents fall under that range.
 * Ruby : And all the other people we know and love: Caldera, Mr. Cove, Mrs. Chembe—
 * Book, Ruby & Bubble: Mrs. Chembe!?
 * Bo ok : We have to go!
 * Ruby : No. Who knows what kind of BFDI-related shenanigans she's up to!
 * Bubble : Just run up there and doiwn again!
 * Bo ok : She is a monster! [Mrs. Chembe is painting "BFDI RULES" on the walls with red paint. ] She did not kern the D and the I correctly!
 * Ruby : Come on, we have to go down, quickly! [They run back down, and Book looks at the newspaper.]
 * Bo ok : It is 23 now.
 * Ruby : [gasps] The age of Test Tube, our last scientist!
 * Bo ok : Noooooooooooooooooo!
 * Bubble : Hoy, how oild is the yoingest pro joirnalist?
 * Bo ok : 22.
 * Ruby : Two more than Eraser?
 * Bo ok : Yeah. And look! [words begin to appear]
 * Ruby : Woah! You got the omni-updating version!
 * Bubble : Those things are, loike, 3 grand shoillings.
 * Bo ok : I got it for free! SP is one of my best guy friends out there.
 * Ruby : You should ask him out to Winter Ball.
 * Bo ok : Bigger problems, Ruby! Those words have BFDI everywhere on the page! They are ubiquitous! They are omnipresent! They are—
 * Ruby : Yadda yetta yitta Yoda Judaea, big words.
 * Bubble : But that's toirrible! How am I suppoised to roid "BFDI BFDI BFDI BFDI BFDI"? It's no loinguag—
 * P e nci l : OMG!
 * Ruby : Oh now you're awake!
 * P e nci l : No, Ruby, I had me mobile with me. I h'actually got a text!
 * Bo ok : From whom?
 * P e nci l : It's literally from Pen!
 * Bo ok : That jerk! If I—
 * P e nci l : 'Ey! Don' call'e a jerk!
 * Ruby : Ooh, did he apologise to you about rejecting your proposal?
 * P e nci l : No, even better! 'E says 'e'll go with me to the Ball!
 * Bo ok : What? Proposal by texting is so kitsch.
 * Ruby : But maybe Pencil's right about the importance! I mean, it's only for one day.
 * Bo ok : Whatever. I am not going to the Ball this year. A popularity contest just to want to become the top predator? Count. Me. Out.
 * P e nci l : But it's really not thet complicated!
 * Ruby : Yeah! Don't be a Debbie Downer! Or a Nancy No-No based off your—
 * P e nci l : Shh! I've new text from Pen! An' it says "BFDI BFDI BFDI BFDI BFDI, eh?" Wot's thet, an error? CURSE'EE, MEPHONE 3! Wait, it can't be. There's only, like, a few Canadians 'ere.
 * Ruby : Umm … Bubble's possessed, too! Remember how they're the same age?
 * Bubble : BFD-oi, BFD-oi, BFD-oi! It's the boist thing that's ever hoippened to moy since … uh … I doin't know whoin!
 * Ruby : We have to run!
 * P e nci l : BFDI, yeah yeah yeah! Love'e now, yeah yeah yeah, so we can join—
 * Ruby & Book: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
 * Bo ok : Alright Ruby, you're next! Any last words?
 * Ruby : Yes, yes. I'd want to honour the rest of my sisters … and … family in gem school right now, even though it's really only open for diamonds … and … and … and … umm … I'd like to thank— [deep voice] BFDI!
 * Bo ok : Ah! Okay, I can prepare for this … I can prepare for what may happen that will change my life … BFDI BFDI BFDI BFDI BFDI BFDI BFDI!
 * Needle : [reading to Nelson's class] And so the leaders of each country decided to sacrifice someone nobody likes, and so they went with— BFDI! [Runs out of the room maniacally.]
 * Nelson : I knew it wasn't the butler!

5. Last moments
Scene: Aerial view of a school in a map form. One by one, the regions of the school get possessed by BFDI, as indicated by red shading. Noon. Everyone becomes normal, since it is possible.
 * P e nci l : [in a crowd of people] Wot 'appen'd? An' why I with'ee dotlogrytes?
 * Bo ok : It is troglodytes, and I have no idea. Well, at least we became normal again!
 * Test Tube : I don't think that was science against us.
 * C l o c k : No, I'm fairly sure it was military action.
 * P e nci l : Wot bruv? Y'can't blame me dad fer all o'e!

 * Bo ok : That would make a lot more sense.

6. On the streets of the Oggezsco building
Scene: Aristotelis is in the streets.
 * Less Than Sign : We're so sorry that we had to fire you.
 * Aristotelis : It's okay. Now can I come back again?
 * Man: No. You said in your rules that anyone who gets dismissed may not come back again!
 * Aristotelis : But those are my rules! I can change it, eh?
 * Mili : It's too late for that now, I'm sorry.
 * Aristotelis : So that means I'm unemployed?
 * Less Than Sign : [getting the rules book and ripping it in half] Nope. I'm the new boss now!
 * Aristotelis : New boss, what in blue blazes are you talking about?
 * Less Than Sign : Whilst possessed by BFDI, our hive minds all connected and elected me as their new boss.
 * Aristotelis : You can't do that! That's a democracy!
 * Mili : The country's a democracy, sir. Get used to it.
 * Less Than Sign : [Aside.] You don't have to call him "sir" anymore, you know.
 * Aristotelis : You can't fire me! I have … umm … a wife with a decent job and three kids … one just vanished and the other in prison!
 * Less Than Sign : Call me sir.

Scene: 4:00. Pencil enters her house very happily. [Enter Nelson, and Needle, who is in low spirits.] [Enter Pen, ''wearing a bow tie and a suit … sort of. Nobody notices him.''] [Exit Estigua.] [Exit Pen.] (There used to be a plot line here. Bad news: I forgot it.)
 * P e nci l : I am so happy right now!

 * Nelson : So did we all! "For ages 9 and up!"
 * P e nci l : [walking out of her room, kissing her phone] I love'e, I love'e, I love'e, I love'e, I love'e, I love'e!
 * Needle : Woah, why is she acting crazy? And I mean, crazier than usual.
 * Estigua : Foi convidada para sair do Baile do Inverno.
 * Needle : And that causes her to kiss her phone?
 * P e nci l : Trus' me, Needy, [slap] 'ee'd be like'e h'if'ee got ask'd!

Scene: 7:50. Estigua is driving Pencil to the restaurant. She parks in a heavily crowded parking lot full of drawn carriages and ancient motor-cars. [She enters the restaurant]

 * P e nci l : Like, relax Mum! I think I'll be fine in there.
 * Estigua : Sinto muito, mas a minha filha está indo em seu primeiro encontro! Estou tão orgulhoso dela!

 * Fett u ccine : He reserved a spot for you last year.
 * P e nci l : Las' year?
 * Fett u ccine : [sighs] Our restaurant becomes so crowded full of the elite that it takes years to reserve only one single spot. You do realise this is the #1 Italian restaurant for fine dining in Kenya, right?
 * P e nci l : Then 'ow'd'ee reserve las' year?
 * Fett u ccine : It was like this.
 * P en : Yo yo dude!
 * Fett u ccine : I'm a woman …

 * Bo ok : Maybe …

12. Pen's house
Scene: Pen is getting himself ready for his date. [Katarzyna calls from outside.]
 * P en : Alright … so, should I probably button up the cap enough so Pencil doesn't notice it, but I should. Also, maybe I should wear this blazer I got in Canada, I think she'd really love that! Yeah, she'd definitely fall for the thousand dollars, eh? Or as she'd say, "eighty thousand shillins!" Ha-ha, that was a good—
 * Katarzyna : Pen, as my only child present now, could you please come above and talk to your father? It's imperative that you—

 * Bo ok : Ruby, that was rude! You have to say, "She almost killed us." It flows off your tongue better.
 * Ruby : Yeah, it does!
 * P e nci l : [calling out] Wait! Yer son-in-law? We celebrat'd Hanukkah with'e! It's a Jewish holiday also known as the Festival of Lights! [she doesn't come]

 * P e nci l : Omg, yer not me mum. But seriously, aye, somethin' bad's 'appenin'. Pen promis'd me he'd meet me h'a' this place! Why 'asn't'e come?
 * Ruby : Maybe he's in a bad situation. Things like that happen.
 * Johnstone : [coming up from under the table] Like the time when I was battling this Froglod in Vermanshicken's Revenge last week with my friend Williamstone and I lost, so—
 * Ruby : Wait, you were under there that whole time?
 * Johnstone : Of course. Seeing other people sometimes gives me the slightest sliver of anxiety.
 * Bo ok : Well, we missed your order, unfortunately.
 * P e nci l : Agh, I want Pen now! Where could'e be thet's possibly keepin'e back?

Enter'' Swiss Franc.] [Exit Pen.]
 * Terry : Attention, all people here, and thank you for depositing or withdrawing or other opportunities here, at Ukwasi Bank of Nairobi. Now, let us all go to the bathroom for our prayer session.
 * P e n : [in the back] Why would there be a prayer session at a public ba—
 * Gang of 8: [whisper-screaming] Shut up!
 * P e n : [getting out] That's it, I can't take it anymore!
 * Blocky : Pen, what are you doing? Get back in here, or your ugly blazer's going to be an embarrassment to the rest of us!
 * P e n : No, I mean I can't hang with you guys anymore! You or Eraser or Snowball or Trophy or the others. I have been following your wrong ways for at least five years and I'm deciding to cease it.
 * Eraser : So you don't want to be seen with us?
 * P e n : No, and I'm leaving this instant. TERRY, COME OUT OF THE BATHROOM, THERE'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT HERE!
 * Terry : [not looking] Is my son here, I need to tell him about this really cool— [sees Pen and the giant sock behind him] Wow! Your blazer is hideous! Did you get it in the mud and then run over by a car?
 * P e n : [trying to keep himself together] No … of course not.
 * Fl ow er : Because you're going to get it ripped up! [The Gang of 8 tear at least half of it off à la Cinderella ]

 * Terry : I can always help you!
 * P e n : I admire your cupiousness to help, but no thanks; I have all the money I need.
 * Terry : Okay, but if you need any financial help, I'm always there to help you, son.
 * P e n : Thank you!
 * Terry : And now to press this button. Change the sign, Argentium!

 * Swiss Franc : There was a robbery?
 * Terry : Yes there was. And you can arrest those seven hooligans!
 * Swiss Franc : The gang of huit again? I thought you were in jail!
 * Scissors : Ah! We escaped you!
 * Swiss Franc : You're all going! [handcuffs them all] And sir, your blaz—
 * P e n : I know. [They are sent to jail.] Thank goodness that was over. Now I don't want to see their terrible faces anymore!
 * Terry : Isn't your brother a member of the gang?
 * P e n : Oh yeah! Well, at least he might find a way to convince the officers to release him, eh?
 * Terry : True.

18. Reception hall
Scene: Pen finally gets to Grandepiatto's. He is both grateful that he can actually go on a real date, and furious how his father's blazer essentially got "killed" by the Gang. He struts his way towards Fettuccine calmly.

 * Fett u ccine : Goodbye. [going]
 * P e n : Umm … excuse me, but is my date here?

 * Fett u ccine : I don't care.
 * P e n : Whatever. Can you just like lead me to the bathroom? I have to clean up first.

22. Outside the Baby Room
Scene: Pen is still standing, anxious about how to greet her without the awkwardness.
 * P e n : Alright, you can do this. "Hey, Pencil, come with me!" Too pushy? Yeah. Maybe "I do sincerely apologise for this tardiness to this very ceremonious—" Too formal.

 * P e nci l : So, how was'e like fightin' crime?
 * Ruby : And attacking the Gang?
 * Bubble : And prepoiring for your date with Poincil?
 * Bo ok : And your feline obsession? [reaches for the blazer, but he pushes it away from her]
 * P e n : It's not a cat!
 * Bubble : Whoit is it, then?

 * Bo ok : I guess I will. [gets up] We girls are the only ones who can stick together from boys! I mean, Pencil is the only one who is in a relationship, and having a Valentine's Day birthday is no excuse whatsoev—
 * Người  Bảo Vệ  Pin : Hey, hey, be listening! Although English can not my second language, I do not think this girl has same amount speech is one of the other was saying.
 * P i n : I'd rather not hear about Pencil's love life, please, just my tenth birthday party speech!
 * Bo ok : Okay, then … being councellor for Pin at camp was a very interesting experience. Her best friend there was Ice Cube, who isn not here now because … because …
 * P i n : She died!
 * Bo ok : Again? And her other friend was Baseball Cap, who is not here …
 * P i n : He went back to Chicago to play baseball!
 * Bo ok : Right-e-o! Any questions? [sees Bubble and Ruby sleeping] … aaaaaaaaand I am done. Tốt đêm, Nairobi!

24. Main room
Scene: Pencil and Pen are eating right in the middle of the restaurant. Most of the older aristocratic customers glare at them, just for being young. [Enter Rainbow Pen ''in great excitement. He literally runs inside the restaurant.'']

 * P e nci l : Omg, no!
 * P e n : Like …
 * P e nci l : Wait! I've a question. Why'd'ee make us eat out 'ere, when it clearly says "Nessuno sotto i diciotto anni è autorizzato a mangiare qui"?
 * P e n : Um … I don't speak Italian, so I don't understand half of the words you're saying. [She laughs.]
 * P e nci l : I mean' adults only are allowed to eat 'ere, an' yet we're still kids!

 * P e nci l : Well with this kind o' h'atmosphere! [laughs] But seriously … am I part o' the family?

 * Nelson : Not so fast! Why are there BFDI decorations here?
 * Needle : Yeah, don't you know it's a disease?
 * Muuzaji : Well, it's kind of hard to explain. You see, the government has ordered all shops in the country to … like, change all the empty things to BFDI!
 * Nelson : That's just a crazy conspiracy theory!
 * Muuzaji : It might me! But I doubt that's in your line of significance, is it, little boy?

 * Hoe d : When you really think about it, American girls come up with the strangest words.
 * Ma tch : FTLT, I am from Canada!
 * Globe Outline : Attention passengers, we will be landing this in 30 minutes. Please take your time to turn off all electronic devices, turn up all trays, and also return to your seats where you will attach a seatbelt to you, or we shall have one of our assistants (that means you, Pointer) do it for you had you no way to anyways.

 * Ma tch : Of course, yes! I'll do it, anyway. [reading her text out loud "aboot 2b in near ui n 30 munuts gott ago"

 * Ma tch : Hey!
 * Hoe d : You know, this book shows a history of the word "about". I really don't need it much, so I'm giving it to you! [gives it] Also, you did "2b" instead of "to be". Why do algebra if you're in— [Aside] What maths are you in?

These reviews were mainly written in Vietnamese, including one by Pin. It reads … My en boy ban thai mott neha hang why thai Ken —
 * Bulgogi : No! It is not pronounced that way! You really should be more culturally sensitive about such topics.
 * Helmet : And who are you?
 * Bulgogi : I am the one and only Bulgogi, the one and only one who can speak every language in the world!
 * Helmet : But you are Korean! Can't you …

 * Ruby : Wake up, Mrs. Pencil's mum!
 * Needle : This will do the trick. "Mum, dad's returned from the war!"
 * Estigua : [immediately getting up] Onde?
 * P e nci l : No, mum, there is no dad. We have to talk together.
 * Bo ok : Whatever comes from their mouths is news to me.
 * Ruby : Same.
 * Katarzyna : So, you may know that my husband lost his job.
 * Estigua : Aw, me sinto tão triste por ele!
 * P e nci l : Speakin' on be'alf o' me mum, "Aww, I feel so sorry fer'e!"
 * Katarzyna : This also means we are getting no more income.
 * Estigua : Aw, me sinto tão triste por ele!
 * P e nci l : Ditto.
 * Ma tch : Omg! That means that we aren't getting any more money, right?
 * Katarzyna : Right. Did you spend any money last night?
 * Ma tch : Like …
 * P en : Well …
 * Ma tch : All the planes I, like, took abroad costed about 7 billion shillings.
 * P en : And my date with Pencil costed fifty quadrillion.
 * Aristotelis : [with a calculator] 50 quadrillion plus 7 billion … You have … like 3 million shillings left in our money!
 * Ma tch : Umm … my gifts costed 40 shillings.
 * Ruby : They're so cheap!
 * Ma tch : It was Argentina; we, like, haggle.
 * Bo ok : That is a lie; people do not haggle there!
 * Ma tch : I had, like, so much money the guy fell for it!
 * P en : The Gang of 8 members vomited on my car, so—
 * Katarzyna : You let the Gang of 8 enter your car; I'm so glad you didn't die.
 * Aristotelis : Hey, relax! And how much do you think that costs?
 * P en : About 500,000 shillings.
 * Aristotelis : Also, I can't find my blazer. You know, the one that existed when we were Syngrapheases?
 * P en : This may sound unbelievable, but I … umm … flushed it down the toilet on Pencil and my date.
 * Aristotelis : You WHAT!?
 * P en : The Gang of 8 ruined it! They washed it and threw zebra excrement on it. (Or was it giraffe?) Then I was literally like ridiculed throughout the three remaining hours I was wearing it, so I had no choice but to remove it forever.
 * Aristotelis : Pen, I rarely get angry. But that jacket was in our family for over 9000 years! As the ancient Greek fathers did to their kids, you have given me no choice but to—
 * Katarzyna : [interjecting] No!
 * P e nci l : Please don' 'urt'e! He's only vulnerable down to the football! I mean, ye shouldsn't get anger'd off wot me boy did! 'E's not yer problem, it's Eraser, remember?
 * Katarzyna : Oh yeah!
 * Aristotelis : Can we start all over again? You have given me no choice but to … … … … … … give you a big hug! [squeezes him] I never liked that blazer anyways, but your destruction of it made me rethink about it.
 * Katarzyna : [Aside.] Ari, I still see one major flaw. Why did our children spend so much money?
 * Aristotelis : What?
 * Katarzyna : That blazer cost 1,999,900 shillings, y'know.
 * Aristotelis : Pen, no electronics for two hours.
 * P en : [Aside.] Worth a shot.
 * Katarzyna : So why did you spend a lot of money?
 * Ma tch : 'Cause we're so rich, right?
 * Katarzyna : JESTEŚMY TAK UBOGI, JAK ŚWINIE! TUTAJ JESTEŚMY Z POWROTEM W POLSCE! MATKA! GDZIE SĄ WIADRA, MUSZĘ WYDOIĆ KROWY JUŻ TERAZ!
 * Ma tch : Oh.
 * Everyone else: What?
 * Ma tch : Omg, we're poor!
 * P en : Is this true?
 * Aristotelis : Yeah, we are as poor as everyone else in this room.
 * Everyone else: Hey!
 * Ruby : Now you know what it's like to be normal!
 * Bubble : Like the majoirity of Koinya!
 * Bo ok : Actually, Kenya is a much higher standard country than Africa, so they would be considered poor even in K—
 * P e nci l : [Aside.] Shh! [to Katarzyna] But aren't you still a nurse?
 * Ma tch : Yeah, but, like, we're POOR!!!!
 * Aristotelis : We still have 100 shillings left.
 * Bo ok : Yeah, and you all are middle class!
 * Ruby : There is a new hope!
 * P e nci l : Who could be 'ere a' this time o' night?
 * P en : If it's a ghost I'm hiding behind the TV.
 * Ma tch : Omg, Pen, that's the, like, 465th unmanliest thing you've said this season!
 * Katarzyna : Match, be nice to your younger brother!
 * P en : I'm older! And now that you mention it, I mean I'm going to tough it out! [bends himself ]
 * P e nci l : Come in!
 * P e nci l : Omg, I thought'ee was in jail.
 * Ma tch : Omg, omg, omg! [runs over] I love you, I love you
 * Eraser : Why are you acting all crazy?
 * Ma tch : I was in Argentina.
 * Eraser : And I was in jail. So what?
 * Ma tch : We, like, live here now!
 * Eraser : What?
 * P en : TL;DR : We are now poor and live here.
 * Eraser : What?
 * Katarzyna : It's okay, we shall offer no explanations towards our favourite son.
 * Eraser : What?
 * Aristotelis : Eraser, how much did it cost to get out of jail?
 * Eraser : One hundred shillings. The warden was so [censored]! [The girls laugh.]
 * Aristotelis : Oh Zeus, now we have no more money! [faints]
 * Ruby : Oh my gosh! It's a new hope!
 * Everyone else: [unenthusiastically] Yaaaaaaaaaaaay.
 * Bo ok : Can you read this? I can not.
 * Bubble : Noio, unfoirtunately. Hoiy Pencil! Can you roid this?
 * Ruby : I think she's sleeping. [Pencil is sleeping next to Estigua.]

 * Bubble : I beg yoir poirdon?
 * Ruby : That's in insult, right?
 * Ma tch : Omg, we're better!
 * P en : I'm sorry!
 * P e nci l : U wot m8?
 * Bo ok : Not my fault.
 * Golf Ball : Give me your tickets. [they endeavour to do so] Hey. I only collected five, when there are six of you.
 * P e nci l : I've not a ticket 'ere, ma'am.
 * Golf Ball : If you don't have your ticket, you are not permitted to go to the party.
 * Bubble : Yoylecake!
 * Ruby : Yay, a party!
 * Ma tch : YNTMAT!
 * P en : But but but—
 * Bo ok : Another party?
 * P e nci l : I can't not miss a party h'if everyone's goin' ter it. I jus' can't! I'm like the mos' popular girl in the school! You can't jus' not miss a party h'if you was Queen Alpha! [cries]
 * Ruby : Aww, don't worry!
 * Bo ok : [Aside.] Now I can cross this off my bucket list: Going to a non-academic party without Pencil!
 * Bubble : Shh! Moybe we can find a woy to snoick you in!
 * Ma tch : That, like, happens a lot in reality TV.

3. Pencil's house
Scene: The alliance is at Pencil's house for a meeting again. Both sets of parents are sleeping, whilst Needle, Nelson and Eraser awake. [''Awkward silence. Then the TV turns on by itself.''] [It goes to a news station.] [He goes up to a member of the queue.] [10 minutes later.] [''The crowd looks up. A plane is forming letters in the sky.'' ] [Katarzyna wakes up.] [Pen and Eraser are watching football. ] [''On the TV screen, they show the results. A bar graph rises to show the amount of people coming.'']
 * Bo ok : Hey, Needle! Did your parents bring you to school?
 * Needle : Yeah, and I got some invisible money!
 * Bubble : Su-woit! [hi-5]
 * Nelson : Why is Pencil crying?
 * P e nci l : Don't talk 'bout'e!
 * Nelson : You can tell me, Ruby!
 * Ruby : She's crying because she lost her ticket and now she can't get into the party!
 * P e nci l : Don't tell the world I can't be invit'd! It's terrible!
 * P en : [comforting her] Don't worry, we can always just go out for some food later or buy something! Do you want that?
 * Ma tch : Omg, Pen, like, stop! You know we can't, like, buy anything anymore since we're poor!
 * P en : Oh yeah. Pencil, do those for me, and I need them now.
 * Eraser : I kind of agree with Match here. Just because of our new class status doesn't mean you should take everything exalted people have for granted, or be a chauvinistic cad about it. [Everyone stares at him astonished.]
 * Ruby : You're smart!?
 * Eraser : Umm … no, I've never said anything like that in my life.
 * Bo ok : Astounded by the life of prison, are you not?
 * P en : It's a ghost! [hides behind the TV]
 * P e nci l : Relax, there's jus' a notice on the telly screen. [reading] "This model o' this TV was meant to turn on at 8:30 AM on December 14, 2007."
 * Helmet : Sabalheri, Kenya. 'Tis Helmet, and I am here to talk about this crowd of people behind me. Yes, the crowd is extending all the way to the newsroom. It is going to school.
 * Ruby : It's, about the tickets!
 * Helmet : Yes, whoever said that. Now, let's interview some people who are patiently waiting. [cuts to a part of the queue, a car park, specifically, where people are punching each other to be in front] No, not that area. Make sure to edit that out, Teleprompter!
 * Teleprompter : Got it!
 * Helmet : … who are patiently waiting. [part of the queue where people are waiting]
 * Helmet : So, please tell us your name and where you're from.
 * Palm Frond : Omg, are you, like, interviewing me? Like, in that case, my name is Palm Frond and I'm from Hollywood, California! [Her friends cheer and hoot.]
 * Ma tch : That's my language there!
 * Helmet : So, Palm Frond—
 * Palm Frond : Call me PF!
 * Helmet : Sorry … PF—
 * Palm Frond : No, call me Washingtonia
 * Helmet : Ok … Washingtonia—
 * Palm Frond : Actually, now when you think about it … Hi, mom! Hi, dad! Hi, Great Aunt Maud! Hi, Quorrissa! Hi, Ambiguous—
 * Helmet : Moving on …
 * Palm Frond : No, wait! This is the first time anyone's seen me live! I'm not in a movie! And, like, BTW, everyone should watch Squirrel Meets World. It's, like, the best movie ever—
 * Helmet : [Aside.] That came out almost a hundred years ago.
 * Palm Frond : But—
 * Helmet : [moving on] So, tell me your na–
 * Kumquat : I don't want to talk!
 * Helmet : [moving on] So, tell me your na–
 * Man: No!
 * Helmet : [disappointed] Okay, then. Since nobody wanted to talk, now to the summary of things. [on the screen] Here is a demographic chart of who had a ticket. As you can see, it is nearly 100% yes. And here is a green demographic chart. The only difference is that it's green. Once again, it is 100% yes.
 * Teleprompter : [Aside.] Tell us what it means!
 * Helmet : I'll get there! Anyways, the government authorities and advised me to explain. Actually, they didn't want me to explain. They required that I explain. These tickets grant you admission into a party this night. I do not know where.
 * Teleprompter : Woah, look at that thing in the sky!
 * All : 2500 Koreakusini Road.
 * P e nci l : OMG! I can't believe the party's bein' 'eld at my 'ouse! No wonder I need'dn't a ticket fer me h'own party!
 * Ma tch : This is, like, totally! A party at your house, I mean, like, my house is going to be awesome!
 * Ruby : I'm surprised guests aren't pouring in right now!
 * Bo ok : I have a feeling a certain time will be specified.
 * P e nci l : MUM, WAKE UP, THERE'S TO BE A PARTY TONIGHT!
 * Estigua : QUÊ?
 * P e nci l : We don' know the purpose or why it's 'appenin', but we have to get ready, now!
 * Estigua : QUANTAS PESSOAS ESTÃO VINDO?
 * P e nci l : I don't know; they 'aven' coun'd yet!
 * Estigua : NÃO CONTEI AINDA? ISSO NÃO PODE SER BOM!
 * P en : G'morning, mum.
 * Katarzyna : I had the strangest dream last night! There was this cow and there was this bird. So the cow was screaming and mooing something in this foreign language I didn't know, whilst the bird was quietly and modestly saying something in English, but in some weird acc … [She sees Estigua glaring at her] Never mind.
 * Ma tch : So, did you get the news about the party?
 * Katarzyna : Yes, we did. However, we are now in the process of selling, like, most of our electronics so we can get more money.
 * Bubble : Isn't that noice?
 * Ruby : Totally!
 * Ma tch : Well, like, the party is being held here.
 * Bubble : And we need yoir hoilp in setting oip!
 * Katarzyna : Don't worry, I will help. Now how many people did you say are coming?
 * Ruby : It was on the TV!
 * Needle : Before the boys took over!
 * Bo ok : [sighs] Boys will be boys … Pencil? [She's also watching.]
 * P e nci l : Sorry! [changes the channel] It 'ad to be done!
 * P en : Aww, now we don't know who'll win!
 * Eraser : Thanks a lot, Pencil!
 * P e nci l : W'dyee rather give yer stepmum an 'eart attack, or w'dyee rather me give'ee spoilers 'bout the game?
 * Eraser : I'm okay with the first one …
 * Katarzyna : Aww, that's so nice!
 * P en : That isn't nice … I actually care for our mother's health more than cricket—
 * Ruby : [correcting him] Soccer—
 * Bo ok : [correcting her] Football.
 * P en : Yeah, that sport … right, Match?
 * Ma tch : [who has been on her mobile phone during all this] What?
 * Katarzyna : Apology NOT accepted, my second son. At least Eraser cares about football more than my health!
 * Bo ok : Ladies, ladies, I know I am wonderful and all, but you really do not have to fight over me.
 * Katarzyna, Eraser & Pen: We weren't!
 * Bo ok : But you could have!
 * Ruby : Book, look! Hey, that rhymed.
 * Bubble : On the Toi-Voi, they're disploying the results!
 * Helmet : And it turns out that out of the population of a million … 999,999 people are going to the party. [Cheering]
 * Teleprompter : Who is the one that didn't?
 * Helmet : Why, the results say that Pencil Triángolo is the only one in the world who is not going.
 * Ruby : Oh no! They just announced that Pencil was not going!
 * P e nci l : Don't worry, everybody!
 * Bo ok : What do you mean? They just announced that you are not going to the most popular party in the world … on national television.
 * P e nci l : It's okay! A' leas' everyone knows where I live! I mean, I'm the mos' popular girl in the school!
 * All: True. ( Estigua : Verdadeiro.)
 * Estigua : Esta não é, tendo em conta as pessoas más na sociedade, não é?
 * P e nci l : Wot?
 * Estigua : Quero dizer, dizendo que toda a gente sabe onde você mora, você também está incluindo inconscientemente todos os criminosos, assassinos e pessoas piores.
 * Bo ok : Do not forget the Gang of 8!
 * Estigua : Vê, minha filha? Onde vamos colocar todas as pessoas horríveis? Não têm lugar na nossa casa!
 * P e nci l : Jus' stuff 'em down in the basement, an' we can be good!
 * Katarzyna : Aside from all this Portuguese dialogue, when does this begin? I get anxiety when stuff like this happens.
 * P e nci l : I don'know. Like, Ruby, you've perfect memory! D'ye remember wot they says on the ticket?
 * Ruby : Uhhhhhhh … it said, "Chama kuanza saa 06.00 hasa Afrika Mashariki Wakati Eneo. Ruka ni mdogo kwa watu kumi na tatu, na kushindwa kuwa marehemu kwa chama itasababisha kuungua papo na ghafla kuonekana katika upande mwingine wa dunia." And if Swahili classes do count towards your marks, it means "Party starts at 6:00 Kenyan Time. Trespassing is limited to twelve people, and failure to be late to the party will result into instant incineration and spontaneous antipodean teleportation." Book, I have no idea what that means.
 * Bo ok : I think that means … when it is 6 o'clock, the party begins. Before that, nobody is allowed to be here except for thirteen people, or else they will be burnt and transferred to the opposite side of the world.
 * Bubble : Oi think that's in the open oicean!
 * Bo ok : Correct. Now, it also says that you must not be early, so I— [there is a knock on the door]
 * Grawlix : We're #!₦? here for the &(|]@/ party!
 * Ma tch : [singing] Co-ming!
 * Bo ok : [hurrying] No, Match, stop! [slaps her hand from the door]
 * Ma tch : Omg, what was that for? I didn't, like, see a library! Where are the rules?
 * Bo ok : If I am not mistaken, you may end up at the other side of the world! [the one at the other end of the door gets incinerated and teleported]
 * Katarzyna : Wow! That's harsh.

4. Dining room
Scene: 5:58. Party is about to begin. Positions for the party are about to be appointed. [During all this, Pencil, the technologist of the alliance, hastily makes a machine.] [''Within milliseconds, the house is raided by … the press. They start interviewing its inhabitants. They start all talking at the same time.'']
 * P e nci l : I think thet security should be … Pen.
 * P en : What? Why me?
 * P e nci l : Yer a h'excellent guard!
 * P en : That's football, and I'm a quarterback.
 * P e nci l : Oh.
 * Needle : And you'll miss him if he's just standing around, guarding the door all night!
 * P e nci l : You're right! [Needle seizes Pen from the door]
 * Needle : I think Nelson should be security!
 * Nelson : Why me?
 * Needle : [quietly] No one suspects the little boy …
 * Bubble : What exactly ois that thing?
 * P e nci l : I call'e the Housecount!
 * Bo ok : That sounds ridiculous … tell me more!
 * P e nci l : Well, it counts 'ow many people enter our 'ouse! Y'know, fer the party?
 * Ruby : Why would you need one? I mean, a million people is a lot!
 * P e nci l : True. But I contact'd the landlord.
 * Estigua : Oh, o que foi que disse?
 * P e nci l : "Yer accent is weird!" Can'ee believe thet? 'E thinks me h'accent be w—
 * Estigua : Quis dizer depois disso.
 * P e nci l : 'E says this 'ouse can only support fifty milliard of us. Any more an' this 'ouse'll "spontaneously collapse!" 'Ow 'ilarious is thet?
 * Ma tch : [sarcastically ] Ha!
 * Katarzyna : I really don't think that you should laugh; he is a true landlord!
 * P e nci l : Then it's a good thing we've this! [sets the number to 13]
 * Estigua : Temos 13 segondos até 6!
 * P e nci l : Alright, girls, let's do the cheerleadin' routine we learned! From the top a' thirteen!
 * Alliance: 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!
 * Ruby : Happy new ye— Oh wait, we're not doing that?
 * Helmet : Wow, this house is neatly decorated for the holidays. But is it appropriate sized to fit a million people?
 * Teleprompter : How do you feel about hosting the first global party this Earth has ever seen since 1985?
 * Barrette : What do you feel whenever someone asks you about your popularity and you're not even invited to your own view of your own—
 * Ma tch : Like, what? [The earth trembles.]
 * Ruby : OMGS, it's an earthquake in Kenya! Do you know how rare this is?
 * Ma tch : Wait, I don't think that's an earthquake. It's, like, [seeing out] the cool kids from the mall!
 * Pepp er : Omg, like, is this the party that everyone's been waiting for?
 * P e nci l : Aye—
 * Shelly : And is it true that everyone is coming to this?
 * P e nci l : Aye—
 * Sal t : [romantically] And is it truuuuue that OJ will be singing just for us?
 * P e nci l : Well, I don't know 'bout thet, but I—
 * Bo a t : Oh my sails! Besides the news press, are we the first ones here?
 * P e nci l : Aye!
 * P op si cley : Well, then move over girl and let's go in!
 * Their alliance: Yeah! [They establish themselves at a corner of the room.]
 * P e nci l : [Aside.] Weird.
 * Ma tch : Omg, hey girls!
 * Ruby : I've always wondered. Why is it that it's been ten seconds, and yet nobody has come i— [Thousands of people pour into the house each second, and it is shown on the Housecount. Ruby is trampled in the process.]
 * Barrette : [with a microphone, appearing to be broadcast over the TV] Would you look at that, thousands of people have poured into this unlucky Nairobi household each second!
 * P e nci l : Er … open up all doors to preven' congestion, Eraser! [He does so.]
 * Estigua : Isso … é … loucura.
 * Bubble : Oh noio! What will we do?
 * Bo ok : I do not know. Pencil? Do we have any ideas?
 * P e nci l : [greeting the guests] 'Ello, welcome to our 'ouse, nicely decorated fer th' 'olidays!
 * Man: Shut up!
 * P e nci l : Wow, rude! [to Book] Wot was'ee sayin'?
 * Bo ok : What do you have for an idea? I mean, there are guests coming at a rate of hundreds per second!
 * P e nci l : Er … [a lightbulb appears over her head ]
 * L igh tbul b : [record scratch] Hey, man, I'm trying to enter non-conventionallontionallentially. Do me a favour and move three steps to the left [she does] … and then three to the right. [she does]
 * P e nci l : Why'd'ee makes me do thet?
 * L igh tbul b : I don't know; I just wanted to watch you dance the Charleston! [falls] UWEAOH! [shatters]
 * Bo ok : We need an idea, quickly! The sign says 6500 now!
 * Bubble : Oictually, it's 6200!
 * Bo ok : Okay, now it really is 6.5 thousand. Do something, Pencil!
 * P e nci l : Okay! [calling out] PEN, COME 'ERE!
 * P en : Yes, dried pasta? The only reason you interrupt my soccer watching is because—
 * P e nci l : I need no lecture. First of all, don' call me thet. An' second, I've question. 'Ave'ee ever done security for yer "Schreiber" parties?
 * P en : Of course! Ever since I was five. The year was 1994, and this guy, who weighed about 10 thousand kilo—
 * P e nci l : Do VIP! [she pushes him outside]

5. Outside
Scene: At supersonic speed, Pen constructs a queue outside of Pencil's house.
 * 時 : 这是中国现在11:30，因此我累了.
 * 同 : 一样的！
 * P en : That should do it! Now, everyone must pay me 1 shilling! [Instantly, sounds of money are heard.]
 * 78  Rec ord : [clearly angered ]Hwat was that for?
 * Khorugv : Agree I. There is not a way!

6. Dining room

 * Bo ok : You know, Pencil, I wonder where Match is right now?

 * P e nci l : 'Ey. 'Ow're'ee doin' with the security?
 * P en : Very well! I managed to rack up twenty thousand shillings.
 * P e nci l : Why'd'ee do thet?
 * P en : Well, I asked people to pay me 1 shilling at the door. If twenty thousand people walked in, how many—
 * P e nci l : Pen, ye can't do thet!
 * P en : What do you mean?
 * P e nci l : This party was fer everyone, not jus' fer the burgeoiserie, which I've no idea wot it means but I'll use'e anyway!
 * P en : I actually—
 * P e nci l : This money deserves to go to the poor an' needy!

 * P e nci l : Omg! There are, like, 10 people left! Ten people are allow'd to come in! What can we do? I need 'elp, now!

 * Estigua : Este livro é nojento! Não posso acreditar que as páginas são amarelas!
 * Onda : E há mofo! Eu não estou lendo este livro!
 * P i n : Freeze! Old people are not allowed in this room!

Scene: Pencil and Book are still walking. [Half of the line rushes towards the house.] [They race all the way home, ahead of the line.]
 * P e nci l : [sighs] All this walkin' is tirin'! Why'd'ee take me so far?
 * Bo ok : It appears that coincidentally, the end of the line is at Stepping Stone's house!
 * P e nci l : Wot? I ne'er know 'er 'ouse is so far!
 * Bo ok : I am pretty sure that it is because Mrs. Crackford is not your neighbour! It is Ray Shell Bladerford who is!
 * P e nci l : Should we go back?
 * Bo ok : I do not think that is necessary. May I see that?
 * P e nci l : Wot, this megaphone?
 * Bo ok : [takes it] Never mind … HEY, EVERYONE! IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THIS HOUSE FOR AN ALTERNATIVE PARTY, THEN YOU MAY ENTER WITHOUT PERMISSION!
 * P e nci l : [hi-5'ing Book] Our work 'ere is done!

 * P en : Of course! Just ask the people behind you for a shill—
 * Tagalong : [falls in sensible at his feet] No, no, you don't understand! I just want to get in … and … and I have no s … social skills at all to talk to p … people, so can you please let me … in … in, sir? [cries]

 * Voices: Let us in or we'll kill you!
 * P en : [not looking] Wow, that's a very interesting way to convince me to let you in or— [realises] Oh no …
