Line 1:
I’m sure most of us who grew up in the nineties remember the show Ed, Edd, and Eddy. It was one of Cartoon Network’s greatest shows, at least in my opinion. It is definitely a decent show, but apparently that is only because of the filter that Cartoon Network put on the content produced by the creator, Danny Antonucci. Of course, this wasn’t always the case. There was a time where Ed, Edd, and Eddy was much, much darker. The original pilot for the show, which was never released to the public at large, was entitled "Ed Is
The episode starts just like any other episode of this beloved childhood classic. You see the three Ed’s acting their typical goofy selves. Even the beginning scenes seem light hearted, just like the show itself. This episode starts with Eddy walking down the street, looking rather annoyed. He has a black eye and a few other scrapes. He seems to be muttering something about Kevin, so one can assume that yet another of his scams has failed, resulting in a serious beatdown. He rounds a corner and comes up to Double D’s house (by the way, just a quick interjection, doesn’t that name sound a little pervy to you? Sounds to me like the writer had tits on the brain, among other not-for-kids things). This part of the episode seems fairly normal as Eddy appears to be about to go rouse Double D to exploit the large brain underneath that hat. But things get a little weird. Eddy turns towards the camera. He blinks twice, shakes his head, and then stares out at the viewer. He shakes his fist at the audience and then storms up to Double D’s door. He knocks loudly.
Line 5:
Double D answers, though he is not in his usual attire. This time Double D is wearing what looks like a hazmat suit. He has a pair of tongs in his right hand. The tongs are holding what appears to be just an ordinary sock. Eddy stares up at him.
"What’s with the spacesuit?
"This is not a Space Suit. It is a hazardous materials suit, and if you’ll excuse me there is something I really need to work on,
"Please, Double D, I need your help!
"I don’t have time for one of your scams! I have very important research to do!
"You don’t understand!
"It’s Ed!
"Come on in,
Double D closed the door behind Eddy and immediately grabbed a large contraption made from a vacuum cleaner set to blow, a bottle of bleach water, some sort of detector, and a computer screen. Double D proceeded to spray Eddy with the solution, hoping to decontaminate him of any outside agent. Double D looked cautiously at the screen, and once a green thumbs up appeared he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about Ed?
"We were working a scam, you see, and everything was fine until...
In the flashback we see Ed and Eddy behind what appears to be a ramshackle little counter, selling what they claim to be lemonade. It looks like lemonade, has ice, even a lemon wedge in it, but it’s not lemonade. It’s a hot summer day in the cul-de-sac, and the kids are thirsty. Sarah and Jimmy are first in line, and they cough up fifty cents for the glass of lemonade. They look at Eddy suspiciously, having been swindled before, but they take the increased size of the glass to mean that perhaps the boys had changed. Nazz and Kevin buy some, as does Rolf and Johny, though Johny buys two, one for him and one for Plank. Having swindled everybody else, he begins to sneak away with his ill gotten gains.
"HEY!
"What was that?!
"Run away! Run away!
"How dare you trick Rolf!
"You went too far this time!
"Yeah, it’s pounding time!
"I’M TELLING MOM!
"No!
"After Kevin stole my hard earned cash, I went to find Ed so we could set up another scam,
"I found him... eating Sarah,
The flashback begins with Ed screaming at Sarah not to tell mom. Suddenly Sarah begins to growl, his constant pleading annoying her. She turns and starts hitting him. The crazy strength in Ed’s family makes every blow worse.
"Ow!
"B... Buttered... Toast!
Eddy is shaking. Double D is pacing the room, shaking his head in disbelief.
"I can’t believe it has spread so far...
"I took this from Ed’s room last time I was there. I had wanted to study bacteria, and I thought Ed’s room was the perfect place to find them. But this...
"What is it?
"I wish I knew... But Ed is infected with it,
"We have to leave the Cul-de-sac. It’s not safe here...
"I’m not sure if anywhere is safe.
"P-pound... ing time,
"Cash!
Just as the credits were about to roll, the Kankers turned towards the audience.
"What are you so freaked out about?
"You’re dead too!
