WALLY

Now Beaver, we have to make it look like Lumpy is just completely inept. We all know he couldn't describe a ionic chemical reaction if he wanted to.

EDDIE

You got that right, Wally.

BEAVER

Hey guys, is all of this kind of over my head? Should I bail on this caper?

EDDIE

"Caper"? "Caper"???

(beat)

Listen, squirt, you tell anybody about this and I will -

WALLY

You will what, Eddie?

EDDIE

WALLY

EDDIE

EDDIE

WALLY

(beat)

WALLY

Your butt, Eddie?
