The Candy Store
Vroom! Vroom! In a go-kart made from wood and a trash can, the Eds arrive at their favorite destination. Entering, they exit only moments later...with jawbreakers!
"As I said, Eddy, sometimes simple labor, such as chores typical among those in our age group, are enough to amass sufficient income to purchase the things we desire most." Edd remarks.
"Yeah, sure." Eddy shrugs, barely understanding anything his friend says as per usual. His attention shifts to the go-kart, "Speakin' of income, ever thought of doin' somethin' with that?"
"Constructing it for our current recreational use counts, doesn't it?" Edd says.
"I don't mean the kart itself, Double D." Eddy clarifies, "I mean your whole building schtick. Smart as you are, you ain't never thought to sell your work? If you did, we'd be in some serious black. Heck, we could retire from the scamming business and do nothin' but sip soda at the swimming hole all summer."
"Well, truthfully, the thought has occurred to me on more than one occasion in regard to expounding on my prowess." Edd admits. "But our prior employment with Mr. Antonucci and AKA Cartoon has often seen to it that such a thing never moves beyond the writers' room. And besides, you'd go mad if you didn't have someone to scam."
"Oh, I dunno. Think it depends on the scam." Eddy grins in thought, "Even if it's one we did before."
THUMP! Ed falls on the sidewalk pavement and imitates the movement of a nearby centipede. He happily blares, "I'm gonna be a beautiful butterfly!"
"That's not a caterpillar, lumpy." Eddy forcibly stands him back up. "Yeah, for this ol' scam, you're gettin' your ol' job."
Eddy's Backyard
Sometime later, Nazz, Rolf, Jimmy, and Jonny stand in interest yet confusion.
"You gotta be cheating, Plank! Two out of three." Jonny "plays" a game of rock-paper-scissors with Plank.
"Hello, Mr. Squirrel. You're cute." Jimmy squats down and talks to the rodent.
"So, like, why do you think Eddy called us here?" Nazz asks Rolf.
"Rolf remains confused, Nazz girl." Rolf admits. "Perhaps the short-as-a-stump Ed Boy simply wishes to-"
Wosh! Ching! Ching! Ching! Ching! Eddy's bedroom door slides open to allow for all four kids to catch a single jar full of change.
"That's for last time." Eddy walks out to greet them in a yellow suit jacket and matching tie; we hear a wolf-whistle sound effect. "Wasn't fair to ya'll. I mean, I don't like to work for free, so why would you?"
"Wow, dude. What's this about?" Nazz asks opening her jar.
"Step into my pre-office office and you'll find out." Eddy steps aside to allow them to come in.
Eddy's Front Yard and Driveway
Courtesy of Edd's inventive talents and Jimmy's knack for decoration, the defunct EDCO headquarters has been resurrected, better and more refined than before. Everyone has their old job back, but with improved structures and desks,
Accompanied by Victor, Rolf is again security, wearing his old uniform, and sits next to a crude, offensive drawing of Kevin (no doubt illustrated by Eddy) to stress the importance of not allowing him on the premises. Jonny again works in the "mailroom" with Plank. Nazz is again the secretary and yet again mistakes nail filing for true filing. Edd is again the Yes-Man/Junior Executive to Eddy's CEO and founder. And again, Ed is in the background going back and forth to inexplicably acquire random items with which to build an elevator.
Eddy steps out of his "office" and raises a mug to his "employees" in cheerful shout, "Nowhere but up!"
"Nowhere but up!" Edd, Nazz, Jimmy, Jonny, and Rolf, out of nowhere, raise mugs of their own in response.
"Upsey-daisy!" Ed, a couch in hand, leaps 13 feet in the air to place it on top of an upside-down bathtub.
"That looks totally unsafe." Nazz comments.
"Trust me, Nazz. Even Ed knows what he's doing...once in a blue moon." Eddy closes his door.
Everyone is "busy" throughout the day.
Eddy answers multiple phone calls from multiple phones and multiple people, "You heard me, Mike! EDCO stock is goin' up and stayin' up! No, Jono, that's Jawbreaker Appreciation Day! Move that Econo brunch somewhere else! Forget it, Scott! 35% is as low as we'll go! You don't like it, go do business at Park n Flush! I'll even put the word out to the Kankers for ya! Muffins, Mom! Just don't let Dad eat all the chocolate ones!"
Edd is sweating at his desk in front of a fan as he tries to complete an improbable stack of paperwork. He calls out, "Miss Nazz!"
"Got it, Mr. D!" Nazz grabs the paperwork and does a great deal of proper filing as she puts on lipstick and answers phone calls of her own, "No, sorry, Mr. Antonucci. Mr. Eddy's made it clear that he doesn't want you calling this number."
Jimmy has some silhouetted people move furniture around the office space and to repaint part of a wall, "That's too tacky! Mr. Eddy doesn't like tacky! Do it over!"
"Man, I wish Plank was back from his break already!" Jonny wipes his head, speedily putting envelopes in so many slots at once.
"Not today, yes!" Rolf politely, yet aggressively, tries to hold back a tide of silhouetted people looking to enter EDCO headquarters. He is forced to kick one that managed to get through, but they will not stop coming!
"Victor! Poachers!" Rolf voices in desperation.
BAA! Victor suddenly turns hostile and aggressively charges towards the terrified silhouetted crowd!
BOWL! The silhouetted crowd gets hit and end up dispersing, landing to a bowling pin sound effect.
"Pardon me, Miss!" HONK! Ed steps on a silhouetted male's back to a car-horn sound effect; the largest Ed doing so as he carries a broken-down RV and leaps 18 feet in the air to continue building his elevator.
Sunset
Eddy has his staff, sans Ed, in their recreationally built conference hall in his backyard.
"Congrats, you guys! 'Cause of all of you, EDCO's number one in Peach Creek!" Eddy holds up his mug, "At the end of the week, you're all gettin' bonuses!"
"Yeah!" Everyone cheers.
Once the "conference" is over, everyone exits the "building" and heads right for the front to "clock out" when,
"Yo, Nazz!" Kevin shows up on his bike.
"Not good." Edd gets nervous, aware of the arrogant jock's tendency to ruin the Eds' good fortune.
"Don't worry about it." Eddy isn't concerned this time.
"You are forbidden to enter the confines of EDCO, he-who-repeats-the-past Kevin boy!" Rolf stands in Kevin's path.
"EDCO? You losers are tryin' that again?" Kevin scoffs, looking at Eddy and Edd.
"Losers don't make real money. But you wouldn't know." Eddy retorts.
"Oh, is that right, Dorkald Trump?" Kevin pulls up his sleeves and tries to bypass Rolf.
"Eeee!" CRASH! Rolf tosses Kevin next to his bike, "Rolf will not allow you to-"
"Guh!" CRASH! Kevin tackles Rolf to the ground; a fighting cloud forms.
"Get him, Rolf! Get him!" Eddy cheers.
"Oh my!" Edd exclaims; as much as he wants Kevin gone to prevent him from negatively affecting their success, he feels this is not the way.
"Boys." Nazz watches in disgust; she is distracted when she sees Ed running up his now 100-foot-tall elevator with a refrigerator in hand. "So... radical!" She exclaims impressed.
"Jeepers!" The spineless Jimmy cannot stand violence unless Sarah is dishing it on his behalf.
"Nice hook is right, Plank!" Jonny agrees.
"May the pepper of anguish inflame your coconuts!" SLAM! A battered, bruised Rolf forces the equally battered Kevin onto his bike and cartoonishly straps him to it with giant-
"Are those noodles?" Edd asks in disbelief.
"Victor!" Rolf points to Kevin.
BAA! WHAM! Victor charges and knocks Kevin high in the sky and just meters above his house!
"Dagh!" SHUNK! CRASH! Kevin and his bike somehow slip right through his house's chimney and crash inside.
"Thataboy, Stretch!" Eddy grins in delight; he then notices Nazz looking at Ed's elevator. He says to her, "Going up?"
"Nowhere, but." She grabs Eddy's hand and leads him to it; the latter sweats momentarily.
"Oh, my! That's high!" Jimmy is too timid to go on his own.
"Sprout hair on your gravel, crybaby Jimmy!" Rolf picks up Jimmy despite his weak resistance.
"This is gonna be a hoot!" Jonny runs towards the tower. "Photocopy your butt tomorrow, Plank!"
"Ed." Edd stops the returning Ed from adding a canoe to the elevator. "I believe your work here is done. Why not show us the fruit of your labor?"
"Pruitt wasn't the mayor, Double D!" Ed picks up Edd and runs with him to the elevator.
All seven kids enter and ride up the ridiculously tall, incredibly creative elevator; it is well-past nightfall by the time they reach the top, which is in outer space! The exit at the top is a wardrobe closet.
"Have a nibble, she-who-knocks-before-she-tries Nazz girl!" Rolf offers her some of his lobster claw/squid tentacle sandwich, the smell alone making her turn green and want to vomit. Her and nearly everyone else sans Ed.
"Like, that is so gross, dude!" Nazz coughs. She exclaims when she sees where they are, "No way!"
"Marvelous!" Edd joins.
"I can't look!" Jimmy covers his eyes, shimmering in fear of this unknown.
"I can't smell!" Ed laughs.
"'Bout as up as you can get, huh Eddy?" Jonny points at the stars in the black void.
"Not quite, Jonny-boy!" Eddy points to the moon. He looks to Edd.
"I'll draw up plans as soon as we're down." Edd rolls his eyes with a smile.
"No down here. Only up!" Ed grabs all of his friends and leaps towards the moon, shooting towards it like a rocket!
"AGGGGH! ED!" The kids exclaim in terror!
