Chapter 43: Flippy Love

It is almost Valentine's Day, so I thought I'd do a Valentine's Day related episode. Here's a parody of the episode: Krusty Love

At Flip's Food n Fuel, Flip's in his office painting a picture of a dollar bill. He then smells something. "What's that smell?"

He goes out to his register. "The register!" He inspects it. "Forty nine o eight? That's a penny short!" He starts crying.

"Oh no. Not a penny." Lori said sarcastically as she walked past Flip. "Help. Somebody help him."

Lincoln walked up to Flip holding a Flippy. "It's just a penny sir. It doesn't matter."

Flip stops crying and glared at Lincoln. "Doesn't matter? It's money that makes the world go round! It's money that gets you to buy a Flippy. It's money that gives your sister that perfume smell."

Lori smells herself. "Lilac."

"It's money that paid for all those renovations I did." Flip's store has big bandages all over the place. "Nothing in the world could matter more, not even the-" He sees someone and becomes lovestruck. "Scrumptious curvy cutie."

"Oh, I see her Flip." Lincoln said. "A hot dog with mustard. The classic."

"Not the hot dog kid. The curvy cutie holding the hot dog."

Lincoln sees that it's Mrs. Johnson, preparing her hot dog.

"Hey, that's my teacher Mrs. Johnson."

"Mrs. Johnson? Aw, she's married."

"Nope. She's single."

"Then what happened to Mr. Johnson?"

We cut to a man buried in cement. Though you can't see him cause only his feet are sticking out. Now we cut back to Flip and Lincoln.

"She doesn't like to talk about it." Lincoln replied.

"Oh, what I'd do to have a woman like her." Flip said.

"Hey, I know! Why don't I take you over and introduce you?"

"No, no, no! I'm too old kid. I don't have time for love. Besides, I ain't properly dressed."

"Oh come on Flip, you look great."

Flip's clothes are shown to be dirty.

"You wait here and I'll go break the ice." Lincoln walked off.

"Lincoln, wait! I'm too nervous!"

Lincoln walked over to Mrs. Johnson. "Hi Mrs. Johnson."

"Oh hello Lincoln." She greeted. "I've never seen you here before."

"Oh, I come here often. Also, I'd like you to meet someone."

"Well I'm-"

"Ok, I'll be right back." Lincoln leaves and comes back with a nervous Flip. "Mrs. Johnson, I'd like to introduce you to-"

Flip falls over. Lincoln lifts him back up. "Mrs. Johnson, I'd like to introduce you to the owner Flip."

"Uh, hello."

Flip just shakes.

"Sir, say hello."

Flip makes a strange sound.

"No, just say hello."

Flip makes another weird noise.

"...Um, perhaps another time would be-"

Flip freaks out. Mrs. Johnson starts to leave.

"Wait! He's trying to tell you something!"

Mrs. Johnson looks worried. "Flip?"

He says some gibberish and makes body gestures.

"I don't understand."

Flips tries to say something to Lincoln.

"I think Flip is saying he'd like to hit you with a rake."

"Goodness!" Mrs. Johnson exclaimed.

Flips acts something out.

"Try to guess your weight."

"Well!"

Flips flails his arms up and down as he says more gibberish to Lincoln.

"No wait, he'd like to take you...on a date!"

Flip falls down in front of Mrs. Johnson.

"Is that true Flip?" Mrs. Johnson asked. "Do you want to take me on a date?"

He sighs. "What do you say?"

"What do I say? I say you've got a way with words Flip."

She walks away.

"Heh heh. I've still got it."

Lori walks over to Lincoln with a bag of chips. "What's going on?"

"Flip just got a date with my teacher." Lincoln stated.

"Oh boy, I can't wait to hear how this turns out."

Lincoln agreed to help Flip get ready for his date at his place. He thought Flip and his teacher would make a nice couple.

"Ready for your date Flip?"

"I'm always ready when it comes to dating kid."

Flip is wearing a fancy suit. Lincoln is checking over a list of stuff Flip needs for his date.

"Breath spray?"

"Check." Flip sprays his mouth.

"Lucky hanky?"

"Check."

"A fruit basket?"

"Uh oh! I don't have a fruit basket!"

Lincoln laughed. "Relax Flip, it was a joke." He opened the door for Flip.

"Well, good luck with you know who." Lincoln makes a circle with his fingers.

"Who's that?"

"Mrs. Johnson."

"Oh, right. Well, wish me luck kid."

At a restaurant named Fancy, Flip and Mrs. Johnson are enjoying their date. They were seated at a table.

"Oh Flip, this dinner has been so wonderful! The steak was cooked to perfection. I don't think I could eat another bite."

"Oh, I doubt that my little darling."

Mrs. Johnson giggled. "You're spoiling me Flip. I mean, foot rubs between courses." A guy under the table is seen massaging her feet.

"Caricatures." Mrs. Johnson had a drawing of herself where her head was big. "And this soothing music."

"Nothing's too good for you my pretty peach."

"What I'm trying to say Flip is-"

One of the employees showed up. "Excuse me sir, your fancy pancy limousine is here."

"Wonderful!" Flip said. "Johnson baby, your chariot awaits!"

Flip snapped his finger and two men came and carried Mrs. Johnson to the limo. She was taken aback by this.

"You'll never have to walk again my Queen." Flip sighed happily.

"Sir, here's your bill." The waiter handed him the bill. Flip was shocked by what he saw on the bill.

"What?! One hundred dollars? This can't possibly be correct!"

"Oh, my mistake sir." The waiter said checking the bill. "Thank you for pointing that out. This is your bill."

He gave Flip the right bill and Flip was even more shocked by what he saw. He screamed so loud that he broke all the windows of the restaurant.

Lincoln was informed on what happened on Flip's date. He was at Flip's place where Flip was crying his heart out.

"I don't get it Flip. How could you spend one hundred thousand dollars in one night?"

"Oh Lincoln, I couldn't help but spend every single cent I had on her! I couldn't control myself!"

"What are you gonna do?"

"I don't know kid. I've got another date tomorrow! I'm caught in the middle of my two great loves! Sweet Mrs. Johnson and the rest of my money!" Flip sobbed some more.

"I wish there was someway I could help." Lincoln said.

Flip gets an idea. "Perhaps there is kid." He gave Lincoln his wallet. "I'm putting you in charge of my money!"

"I don't get it Flip."

"You come with me on the date and don't let me spend any money."

"Now remember, we keep it cheap by going to the park." Flip told Lincoln as they headed over to Mrs. Johnson's house. "And no matter how much I ask you, you don't give any of my money. Now give me a dollar."

"Nope." Lincoln said.

"Good boy. You'll do fine."

Flip knocks on the door.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Johnson's voice is heard.

"It's me, my beautiful babe." Flip said romantically.

Mrs. Johnson giggled. "Just a minute."

"Flowers. Flowers kid! I need you to get some flowers!"

"But you said-"

"Lincoln, you can't call on a classy lady like Mrs. Johnson empty handed. We ain't talking about this (makes a square) or this,(makes a triangle) we're talking about this!" (makes a circle)

Mrs. Johnson's voice is heard. "Almost ready."

"Hurry kid! Go get the flowers!"

Lincoln runs off and Mrs. Johnson comes out.

"Mrs. Johnson, you're as beautiful as ever." Flip complimented.

"That's funny. I thought I heard Lincoln's voice."

"Uh, you did. He'll be right back. He's our personal assistant for the day."

"Oh, that's nice of him. Excuse me, let me go get my purse."

"Of course. I'll be waiting."

Then Lincoln came back with flowers. "Flip, I got those flowers you wanted me to buy."

"What's that?"

"I got the flowers for Mrs. Johnson."

"We had an agreement kid, you weren't supposed to spend any of my money!"

"But you said-"

"Here I Come." Mrs. Johnson said as she came back.

"For you!" Flip gave her the flowers.

"Flowers? How thoughtful!"

"And I also got you a box of candy."

Flip realized he didn't have any candy to give to her. "Lincoln, where's the candy?"

"Flip, the budget doesn't allow for-"

"Lincoln, you can't go to Mrs. Johnson's house without candy. Hurry, hurry!"

Lincoln runs off and comes back with a heart shaped box full of candy. "I bought the biggest box they had, with an assortment of different kinds of candy."

"Buy, buy, buy! Spend, spend, spend!" Flip scolded. "Is that all you can think about?"

"Oh Flip!" Mrs. Johnson called.

Flip turned to Mrs. Johnson with the box of candy. "Here's the candy I bought for you! So Mrs. Johnson, what do you wanna do today? Go to a movie, dancing, a trip to the spa?"

"Psst, Flip. We're just going for a walk in the park, remember?" Lincoln reminded him.

"Actually, a walk in the park sounds perfect." Mrs. Johnson said. "It's a beautiful day. I'll just need to get a sunhat and-"

"Mrs. Johnson needs a sunhat Lincoln!" Flip said.

"I think she-"

"The sun is beating down on poor Mrs. Johnson's head!"

"As your financial advisor, i suggest-"

"There's no time for suggesting! Go buy a hat!"

"But-"

"Today!"

Lincoln runs off to get a hat.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Johnson! I'll shade ya!" Flip takes off his shirt and puts it over Mrs. Johnson's head. "Lincoln hurry!"

Lincoln came back. "One shady hat!"

"Good job kid."

Flip takes back his shirt and puts the hat over Mrs. Johnson's head.

"Oh..uh, thank you." Mrs. Johnson said. "But you didn't need to buy a hat. I already had one in the closet."

"Didn't need to buy one?" Flip turns to Lincoln with a smile on his face. "You hear that kid? We didn't need to buy a hat." He frowns and his tone becomes angry. "Aren't you supposed to be saving my money?!"

"I'm trying sir! But you keep telling me to buy things for Mrs. Johnson! It's all really confusing!"

Flip sees his mistake. "Lincoln, I'm sorry. This is my fault. I'm not thinking clearly. I'll make a promise kid. From this moment on I won't ask you to buy anything for Mrs. Johnson."

A few moments later

"Mrs. Johnson needs a new fur coat!"

Lincoln goes and comes back with the fur coat.

"You're spending all my money!"

Then-

"Mrs. Johnie needs a new pair of shoes!"

Lincoln goes and comes back with a pair of shoes.

"You're breaking me kid!"

Then-

"She needs fine jewelry!"

Lincoln goes and comes back with fine jewelry.

"Not that fine!"

And so Flip continues to order Lincoln around, sending him off to buy things for Mrs. Johnson. Eventually, Lincoln became exhausted. Flip came up to him.

"Lincoln, I'm glad I caught ya. I need you to buy Mrs. Johnson-"

"Wait!" Lincoln interrupted. "Don't tell me! You want to run down to the store to buy Mrs. Johnson something she doesn't need! Then you want me to run back here and you'll say (he imitates Flip) Lincoln, you're spending all my money!" (normal voice) And then I'll say "But Flip, I'm only doing what you said!" Then you'll say "We're not talking about this, (makes a triangle) or this, (makes a square) we're talking about this!" He makes long squiggly lines that cover the screen and pants heavily.

"But kid, this is different!" Flip begged. "This is a washing machine I'm talking about! Mrs. Johnson needs this!"

Mrs. Johnson is outside with all the things Lincoln bought for her. She is laying on a bed wearing her fur coat. "Are we going to the park soon?"

"Please Lincoln! I'm begging you! I'm a lonely old man who's found love! Don't let me lose her!" Flip started crying.

"Flip, don't-don't cry Flip." Lincoln said, trying to cheer him up. "Come on. Ok, ok. I'm gonna go get it."

Lincoln went to get a washing machine, then came back with one.

"Cheer up Flip, I'm back!" Lincoln said. "Here's that washing machine you wanted."

"Cheer up? How can I cheer up when you're spending all my hard earned cash?!"

"See? You just did it again!"

"Kid, I can't help it if you're loose with other people's money…Do you think Mrs. Johnson will need a dryer to go along with that?"

Lincoln finally had enough. "Well Flip, Do you wanna know what I think?"

Lincoln ranted, using foul language at Flip. Mrs. Johnson opened up a dictionary and was surprised by what Lincoln was saying. Lincoln walked away angrily mumbling to himself. Flip was shocked as his mouth was hung wide open.

"I didn't know Lincoln had such a colorful vocabulary." Mrs. Johnson said walking up to Flip. "But there's something I'd like to say too Flip. I'm afraid I just don't feel comfortable accepting all these gifts." She takes the sun hat and coat off. "I'd rather go Dutch. If you don't mind."

She took some cash out of her purse and handed it to Flip.

"Oh, ok." He took the money.

"You're a very sweet man Flip." Mrs. Johnson kissed Flip on the cheek. He got hearts in his eyes as he smiled happily.
