The following story takes place shortly after the prologue of All Crazy Here!, and is an adaptation of Truth or Consequences episode.
We see Tommy inside Java Lava cafe, who's filming an empty bag flying around in the street. He says to himself, "Sometimes, you can find beauty in the most unexpected places.", as he continues filming the empty bag. James and Normand are inside the cafe too, enjoying their drinks, and discuss Tommy's passion for filmmaking. "He really looks sure determined to become a movie director.", Normand pointing out Tommy's determination. "Yeah.", James agreeing. "Hope he'll be filming violent movies, which is my favorite kind.", the British adult hoping that Tommy will make violent films. Just as Tommy finishes filming outside, Angelica suddenly runs and hits the window, blocking Tommy's filming view. "Whoa.", James and Normand both suprised from such moment. As Angelica comes in, she informs his cousin about the upcoming film conmpetition. "You can thank me later, Pickles, this is for student film contest which you will be entering, and it will be my star vehicle, so I'll need 3 crying scenes, 2 nervous breakdowns, and one scene where I'll be taking on the man.", she finishes and throws the brochure to Tommy. "A local contest to be judged by Martin Costomiris? He's my favorite director ever! My hero, my idol! I worship him...in a respectful and not-that-kind-of-creepy way.", Tommy excited from learning that his favorite director will be the judge. "You're going to enter, aren't you?", Stu, Tommy's dad, asks if Tommy will participate. "Tommy, we know that you started filmmaking when you were 37 months old, and it suddenly became your natural talent when you made your first film Creature of the Backyard, starring...Spike!", Didi pointing out Tommy's great skills in making movies. "I'll enter it.", Tommy agrees to enter the contest. James and Normand are glad to hear, "That's the spirit. You should learn from him, Normand." "Jimmy, please, I'm 33 years old.", the Croatian adult telling that he's not a little anymore. "Just saying, though.", James was just telling. "Ah, OK then.", Normand acknowledges.
They finish drinking, then leave the cafe to discuss their plans to help Tommy in filming, just in case things will get tough. They wander around a little, then sit on local bench. "So, how will we help Tommy with making his movies?", Normand asks how should the European duo help Tommy. "Well, since we both have our own comptuers, and microphone to go with, perhaps we can help him make an animated movie.", James proposes that they will help Tommy film cartoon movie. "Really? Alrighty then.", Normand agrees. "Let's get down to Tommy's house and tell him that we're willing to help him.", the British adult tells his Croatian partner to get down to Pickles house. "Sure thing.", Normand agrees, and the two stand up, and are on their way.
They enter Tommy's room. "'Sup, Tommy.", James greeting his old pal. "Hey guys.", Tommy doing same to his adult pals. "Still don't know what to film yet?", Normand asking if Tommy is still out of ideas. "Yeah...", Tommy acknowledging his current artist's block. "Well, we were discussing, and decided that we will help you make an animated movie, in case you really have difficulty filming on your own. "Yeah? Thanks, guys, I'll keep that mind.", Tommy is sure to heed their advice later on. The three leave the room and enter the backyard. Sometime later, Tommy's gang got to the backyard as well, and proceed to film their entry for the contest. "Aww, how come I always to have act as an Earthling?! That's so boring!", Chuckie in disbelief from having such an inferior role. "I want to be an alien robot with flexible hat!" "OK. Tell you what, then. I'll kill you off in this movie, then I'll bring you back as the alien robot in the sequel.", Tommy proposes such thing, if things go fine. "And...action!", Tommy proceeds to film, but lens are blocked by green jelly. "What's wrong with my lens?", Tommy asks in slight confusion. "It's a filter, bro.", Dil proposing his ways of effects." "Do me a favor - lose the dessert.", the future filmmaker not wanting any help for now. "Let's focus, people! And...action!", Tommy going back to rolling. Chuckie and Kimi are acting, Dil and Susie getting them high on the air with ropes attached. Then, they begin bickering out-of-character. Tommy is not impressed by their unprofessionalism. "People, I'm asking you as a friend, and as an artist, please, focus. This is an important opportunity for me. So get it together and let's make some cinemagic!", Tommy complaining through his speaker. James and Normand, who've been watching the entire progress in the background, feel bad for him. "I guess even at teenage era filmmaking can be tough.", Normand says. "Yeah. Not everything can be bloody perfect.", James stating sad, but true fact. "Exactly.", Croatian adult acknowledges.
The two decide to leave the backyard for a while, and return to cafe for more drinks. They sit down , and while drinking their sodas, the two proceed with their adult talks. "Take vampire movies, why do they always take place in L.A. or Mexico? They can't even give a damn. If I was a bloodsucker, I'd move to North Pole, winter's one loooong night.", Normand telling James what would happen if he was a vampire. "Yeah, but what would you eat? Suck blood from penguins, eh?", James asking if he'll use penguins as drinks. "Nah, Eskimos, man, Eskimos.", Normand insists that he'd rather stick to Eskimos. "OK.", the British adult says. "Have you saw Office Space? That movie really kicked ass, especially with its printer scene.", James asks Normand if he saw the movie. "Yes, I saw it back in the day, and it was really cool.", Normand confirming that he indeed saw the film. "OK.", James acknowledges. "Wanna go back to Tommy's backyard?", British asks if he wants to go back. "Sure thing.", Normand agrees. "OK. Come on, then.", and the two leave.
2 hours later, James and Normand come back to the backyard, Angelica comes to the little studio, and proceeds to act with Phil and Lil. She screws up too, much to Tommy's dismay. "Angelica! For the hundredth time, say your lines as written!", Tommy complains again. Angelica, however, doesn't want to act as a bad guy. "Hello? How can I be loved by millions if I play an evil, nasty alien? I wanna play a nice alien, NICE! Now get that through your thick skull, or I'm walkin'!" "You're right, what was I thinking casting you as the evil villain?", Tommy being sarcastic on his choice. Phil and Lil proceed to act again, and yet again, they screw up. "This is hopeless.", Tommy in despair for his friends being unprofessional again. Then suddenly, he started filming their personal moments, and realizes that this is what he needs. James and Normand see what's going on, and don't like where is this going. "Oh boy, I have a bad feeling about this.", Normand getting uncomfortable about this. "Yeah, me too.", James also feeling the same. "They'll be so pissed when they see their private moments being an entry for the contest.", fears that the crap will hit the fan.
