Spoiled actors - trying to rewrite the script. OK, here's the general
plot: Debbie has sent Adam in to the cabin to get the car keys. On the
way to and from he has Walter Mitty-esque shenanigans with his
brothers. Finale: Debbie says to them "I sent you in to get the keys.
You don't have to make a production oout of it!"

Laughs will be a-plenty what with subtle references to Onepiece, Yu Yu
Hakusha, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc.

-H.G. (who wishes he were home watching his "Benny Hill collection 2"
- WAAAUGGGHHH!!!!)
