Apu's Gift


- Helper Apu is sitting with his pupper by a roaring fireplace. He is playing a yo-yo. Up and down it goes.
- His father, Pepe Pep (Pepe the Frog in a suit and tie) enters the room holding a train that's both green and gold.
- Apu's eyes widen. He says, "Upsies. Upsies, please," while reaching for the train with two outstretched arms.
- Pepe picks him up and hands him the train.
- Apu is smiling with bright eyes. He swings the train around in the air, saying "Cho cho, cho cho"
- Mommy Apu wearing an apron walks in with a platter of tendies.
- Little Apu eats all the tendies. He hugs Mummy.
- Apu takes his toy train and goes with pupper to a cozy couch cousin and they both fall asleep
- Teenage Groyper comes into the house, grabbing everything in sight with his foot, including Mummy and Pepe.
- "Groypers will be Groypers," says Mom Apu
- Groyper slowly peaks into the room at sleeping Apu and the toy train
- Groyper imagines himself trading the toy to a dealer in a back-alley for tendies.
- Groyper walks over and steals the train from sleeping Apu and runs off in a flash.
- Doggo wakes up and barks which wakes up Apu
- "Mummy! Mummy!" cries Apu
- Mom Apu steps in. Apu is crying. She gives the crying frog a hug.
- Fades to Black
- Helper is sitting at a window sill, looking out at the rain. He is crying, with a thought-bubble of his stolen toy train hanging over head.
- Pepe enters the room with a McDonald's Happy Meal in hand.
- Apu turns to his father and his tears disappear.
- "Upsies. Upsies," says Apu.
- Pepe picks up Apu and they hug.
