Day in the Life of Goldfish

Scene 1:  Close-up of the goldfish tank

Goldfish 1 and Goldfish 2 are swimming around the tank~~~

Goldfish 1:  I'm bored.... and hungry....
Goldfish 2:  Me too..... We just ate though....
Goldfish 1:  Let's see if there's anything left..... under the fake plant....
Goldfish 2:  What?  What?  Anything?
Goldfish 1:  What did you say?  What?  Is there food left?
Goldfish 2:  Oh.... food.... let's see.... is there anything?
Goldfish 1:  Nope.... nothing..... so boring.....
Goldfish 2:  I'm hungry.... Where's Mr Keeper?
Goldfish 1:  Where's Mr Keeper?  Where?
Goldfish 2:  I asked you first!  Where?
Goldfish 1:  Where?  Where?  Oh there!
Goldfish 2:  There where?  Oh computer desk.... give us food!
Goldfish 1:  Mr Keeper give us food! Wait.... he doesn't give us food....
Goldfish 2:  No food... Not his job.... I'm hungry....
Goldfish 1:  Let me check again..... anything left under the fake plant?
Goldfish 2:  Anything?  Anything?

Goldfish 1 and Goldfish 2 continue to circle the tank, until something outside attracts their attention~~

Scene 2:  The camera pulls back, and from next to the goldfish tank, we can see Ellie the Parrot standing on top of her cage

Goldfish 1:  Parrot.... parrot.... hop hop hop!
Goldfish 2:  Hop hop hop!  Where is she going?
Goldfish 1:  Banana's cage!  See Banana!  Hahaha, parrot is bored too!
Goldfish 2:  Hahaha, parrot is bored too!
Goldfish 1:  Go where?  Banana's cage!
Goldfish 2:  Bite her Banana!  Bite her!
Goldfish 1:  Can't bite.... that snake is sleeping....
Goldfish 2:  That's right.... snake is sleeping.... ate rat yesterday.....
Goldfish 1:  Rat.... ate rat.... yucky yuck!
Goldfish 2:  Yucky yuck!  Don't want no rat!  Gimme proper food!
Goldfish 1:  Parrot bite Banana's cage!  Haha, break her teeth!
Goldfish 2:  Haha, break her teeth!
Goldfish 1:  I'm hungry.... Where's food?  Anything under fake plant?
​Goldfish 2:  Anything?  Hey where's parrot?
Goldfish 1:  Where's food?  What, parrot?  Where's parrot?
Goldfish 2:  Oh... parrot hop hop hop!  Hop hop hop!  On Knobby's cage!
Goldfish 1:  Knobby's cage..... Heat lamps there!  Shock her!  Shock her!
Goldfish 2:  Hahaha, that would be funny!
Goldfish 1:  Uh-oh.... parrot chewing wire.... uh-oh..... uh-oh.....
Goldfish 2:  Uh-oh.... uh-oh.....

We start hearing a "beep----beep---- beep----beep" sound.  Mr Keeper strolls out slowly and bends over Knobby's enclosure~~~

Goldfish 1:  What's that?  Beep beep beep?  Why beep beep beep?
​Goldfish 2:  Beep beep..... beep beep.... beep beep beep beep beep beep......
Goldfish 1:  Shush!  You're not a thermostat!
Goldfish 2:  Oh, Knobby's thermostat!  Uh-oh..... uh-oh.....
Goldfish 1:  Hahaha, parrot chewed it again!  Thermostat wire.....
Goldfish 2:  Chewed it again, hahaha!  Bought it last month!
Goldfish 1:  Parrot broke it last month!  Hahaha!  Mr Keeper doesn't know yet....
Goldfish 2:  Doesn't know..... error code!  Thinks it's error code!  Hahaha!
Goldfish 1:  Beep beep!  Beep beep beep beep!

Mr Keeper looks puzzled and continues pressing the button on the thermostat.  But the thermostat continues to respond with "beep... beep... beep... beep"~~~~

Goldfish 1:  Oh.... Mr Keeper saw it!  Wire!  Wire!
Goldfish 2:  Wire!  Chewed off!  Hahahaha!

Mr Keeper lets out a piercing scream: "Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  Ellie you stupid bird!"

Goldfish 1:  Stupid bird!  Stupid bird!
Goldfish 2:  I like stupid bird!  Call her stupid bird from now on!
Goldfish 1:  Stupid bird!  Stupid bird!
Goldfish 2:  Haha, stupid bird locked up!  Locked up!
Goldfish 1:  Locked up!  Stupid bird chewed wire again!

Mr Keeper gives Ellie a big scolding.

Goldfish 1:  Brainless nitwit bird!  He said brainless nitwit bird!
Goldfish 2:  I like nitwit bird!  Call her nitwit bird from now on!
Goldfish 1:  What did he just say?  I missed it...
Goldfish 2:  Sell her off!  Sell her off!
Goldfish 1:  Haha, sell off nitwit bird! Errr..... maybe not good idea....
Goldfish 2:  Not good..... can't sell poor nitwit bird....

After standing there trembling for some time, Mr Keeper's face takes on a determined expression.  He leaves the house.

Scene 3:  Mr Keeper is sitting at the table by the fish tank.  The table is covered with tools and a couple of thermostats, taken apart~~~

Goldfish 1:  Food?  Food?  Where's our food?
Goldfish 2:  Look, Mr Keeper's back!
Goldfish 1:  He's back?  What's he doing?  What?
Goldfish 2:  Fixing it.... fixing it.... broken wire....
Goldfish 1:  Chewed off wire!  Hahaha, stupid bird locked up!
Goldfish 2:  What's that?  Machine thingy.... hot pointy thing....
Goldfish 1:  Dunno..... machine thingy with hot point thingy... gluing wire to board...
Goldfish 2:  Oh, gluing board!  Gluing wire to board!
Goldfish 1:  Oh, gluing board!  Gluing wire to board!

Mr Keeper gets up, walks over to Knobby's enclosure, and plugs the thermostat back into the powerpoint.  Knobby's heat lamp comes back on again.

Goldfish 1:  He fixed it!  He fixed it!
Goldfish 2:  He fixed it!  No more beep beep beep!  Beep beep beep!
Goldfish 1:  Fixed it...... Boring..... I'm bored....
Goldfish 2:  So boring..... I'm hungry...... let's check under fake plant....
Goldfish 1:  Anything?  Anything?
Goldfish 2:  Where's Mrs Keeper?  She gives us food..... Food.... Food....
Goldfish 1:  So boring..... Where's food..... Where's food.....
