Transcript for "Everybody Hates Insects" - Season 4, Episode 4
Illustrated by: Lebasi Big Mouth Fish
[Scene opens with Lebasi and friends in a room]
Lebasi: Is that a cockroach on my wall?
Friend: No, dummy, it’s a spider. I’ll grab the zapper!
Lebasi: Don’t! That’s not very effective for killing spiders. Just use bug spray and wipe the juice off the wall.
[Sound of bug spray and a squish]
Friend: Ok, not too bad for your first murder. Well, spider murder.
Lebasi: Is that another COCKROACH? I’m getting the spray!
Friend: Stop, stop! Don’t kill him. By the way, I live with roaches.
Lebasi: How many?
Friend: About 10 of them. Now we’re close friends.
Lebasi: No way. Are those roach babies? Why are you friends with cockroaches?
Friend: Because my mom refuses to make me a sibling.
Lebasi: THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE COCKROACHES! Look what you’ve done. You want a sibling? You can have my brother. He’s the devil.
Friend: Uhh, I’ll pass. I’d rather keep living with cockroaches.
Lebasi: Look, I’m here to support you. You don’t have to live in this mess!
Friend: I am very nervous to sleep here tonight.
Lebasi: Why’s that?
Friend: There might be a spider or roaches under there. Monsters under the bed exist, just to let you know.
Lebasi: Just sleep in the attic.
Friend: Mice-infested attic? No way! If I sleep in the attic, something very bad could happen to me.
Lebasi: Then you can leave.
Friend: Absolutely not! I begged my mom to let me sleep here. No cockroaches, you can sleep here.
Lebasi: Phew!
[6 hours later]
Lebasi: Lebasi, why is my bed wet?
Friend: Umm, I spilled a drink on it.
Lebasi: Yeah, right. Then why does it smell like a toilet in here?
Friend: No worries, Lebasi. It happens to everyone. So there’s nothing for you to worry about, ok?
Lebasi: That’s disgusting, Isabella. Get out!
Friend: Fine, I’m throwing that whole bedding away. It was never my style, so you technically did me a favor.
Lebasi: AHHH! What’s wrong, Timmy?
Timmy: My throat hurts really bad.
Lebasi: Uhh ohh, Timmy. You might have swallowed a spider in your sleep.
Timmy: What? I don’t believe in that myth. First it’s roaches, now it’s spiders? Isabella, I am severely arachnophobic. You know that. ISABELLA, YOU GET DOWN HERE.
Isabella: What is it now, Mia?
Mia: There was a mouse crawling on the floor.
Isabella: You’re lying. There is no mouse.
Mia: If I lied, my nose would be longer by now. I’m telling the truth!
Lebasi: Oh, stay there. I’m getting the rat poison.
Mia: Mice and rats aren’t the same animal. It may not be as effective.
Lebasi: Here it is. Oh my gosh. 2 mice now? The mouse is giving birth, run quickly!
[Sound of doorbell rings]
Isabella: Who’s that?
Lebasi: Bug Assassin Services. We were called for a roach infestation and pests?
Bug Assassin Service: Yes, sir. Come in. We will need to spray the house down. Everybody needs to exit immediately and come back in four hours.
Lebasi: Who called Bug Assassin Services?
Isabella: That was me. Thank you very much, Lebasi.
Lebasi: Any time.
Isabella: Well, I’m sorry that you all had a rough time.
Lebasi: It’s ok, we can always redo the sleepover.
Isabella: If you really want a pet, not a pest, then you can go to Landa Park and catch your own pet. There are turtles, crawfish, and many fish in the river area to collect.
Timmy: Should we go to Neptune where insects don’t live?
Lebasi: Haha, funny joke, Timmy. But I’m serious!
