The Fix It Boys Page #3

BEN:
Though sometimes I

think us looking after Uncle Jim

is what my parents

really had in mind.

Growing up around all that

junk, I mean treasure,

we learned how to fix

just about anything.

And I'm not just talking

about toy wagons,

but important stuff too.

We became so good in fact,

that we opened our

own Fix It business.

Whatever you need fixed,

the Fit It Boys can put

the pieces together.

That was our business motto.

Until that hot July morning,

I didn't think there wasn't

anything we couldn't fix.

Boy were we wrong.

And that's where

the story begins.

(VOICES AND STATIC

CRACKLING FROM RADIO)

(ELECTRICAL HUMMING AND BUZZING)

Are you putting grease

in your hair again?

Don't be ridiculous.

It's motor oil.

Can't improve on perfection.

(ELECTRICAL HUMMING AND BUZZING)

And your transmitter

looks goofy, by the way.

Perhaps however, unlike

most of your gadgetries,

my wireless modem

actually works.

You won't think it's

so silly when I land us

some Fix It business

this summer.

BEN:
Now you'd probably

assume that Cricket was

the brains of the operation.

We could use some new tread.

And I was just the

incredibly handsome,

muscular brawn of the team.

CRICKET:
Oh

brother, humility Ben.

Okay, I'll admit that

my mechanical innovations

have been know to go

a little, haywire.

Like the time I rewired the

courthouse for the mayor.

I'm telling you

it's the this one...

No, it's this one.

I'm telling you,

this is the one

that will turn off the lights.

But this one is marked

security checkpoint.

Well then it's labeled wrong.

So would you just

trust me for once?

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

(EXPLOSION BOOMS)

(ELECTRICAL WHIRRING DOWN)

Oh, it's bang.

I've been telling you

we need to build solar

panels for headquarters.

Yeah, that's easy.

You know Cricket, I've been

thinking about this summer.

And I think I know what we need.

A firizer signed

for your hair?

A challenge, I mean a

real Fix It challenge.

Wasn't designing the

prosthetic leg for the Yoder kid

last summer challenge

enough for you?

Yeah, but the

part's already there.

All we did was put it together.

We made it from

a Rex 72 Pinto.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

GIRL:
Hello in there.

Uncle Jim's in

charge of car parts.

It's just some girl.

Could be our first

customer of the summer.

Right.

What do you want?

Well that's not a very nice

way to welcome a visitor.

Can't you say something

nice, like hello, how are you

or how about welcome,

we're the Jungle Junk Boys.

I hate that name.

Okay, welcome.

We're the Fix It boys.

Now what do you want?

My name is Mary Beth Anne

and I have something

that needs to be fixed.
