[A woman is buying pumpkin for Halloween in the pumpkin shop.]
The boss: Super easy to carve. They should have a blast. All right, bye Sarah. Say hi to Josh. [Todd, Nathan, and Awkwafina are fooling around and having fun talking about something they like. The boss finds it hard to confront to them, but he decides that he should.]
The boss: Hey, team? [Cut to three staffs at the left and the boss at the right talking to them] Can I talk to you for a sec?
Todd: Yes sir.
The boss: [Cut to the boss speaking] This morning, I found some of our jumbo pumpkins in the dumpster. [Cut to three staffs acting like they don’t know what the boss is talking about] Some of the pumpkins [Cut to the boss speaking] had holes cut in them [Cut to Nathan listening to the boss][Cut to Todd listening to the boss] and others were completely destroyed. [Cut to the boss speaking][Cut to three staffs acting like they don’t know what the boss is talking about] So I cannot believe I have to ask you this, [Cut to the boss] but did you perform a lewd act with some of our pumpkins last night?
All three staffs: [Cut to three staffs acting like they don’t know what the boss is talking about] No sir.
The boss: [Cut to the boss speaking] All right, well Louis, the grounds keeper saw you, and he told me what you did.
Nathan: [Cut to Nathan] Right, yes. And that’s because we did do what you said, sir.
Todd: [Cut to Todd] Enough lies, we did do that sir.
The boss: [Cut to the boss disappointed] Do you guys see how this would be a problem? [Cut to Todd listening to the boss] [Cut to Nathan listening to the boss] That employees of my pumpkin patch [Cut to Awkwafina listening to the boss] are having sex with the pumpkins?
Nathan: [Cut to Nathan speaking] I mean it’s not ideal sir. [Cut to the boss shocked]
Awkwafina: [Cut to all three staffs] I think there’s been a misunderstanding. They only did it because it felt good.
Todd and Nathan: Exactly.
The boss: [Cut to the boss speaking] That doesn’t change my opinion.
Nathan: [Cut to Nathan speaking] Does it change your opinion on us as people sir?
The boss: [Cut to the boss] Yes.
Nathan: [Cut to Nathan acting confused] For worse?
The boss: [Cut to the boss annoyed] Yeah. Oh, poor Louis. He saw the entire thing.
[Cut to Louis with his garden tool in his hands shaking his head with disgust looking at the three staffs]
Todd: [Cut to Todd] So let me tell you our side of the story as to clear the air here?
The boss: [Cut to the boss] Sure Todd.
Nathan: [Cut to all three staffs] Let’s just paint a picture for you, sir. [Cut to Nathan] Kind of a horny night in general.
Awkwafina: [Cut to the scene portraying their past story. All three staffs enjoying inside the pumpkin store] We were talking about that film, “American Pie.” There’s a part where Jason Briggs does some dirty deeds with an American pie.
Todd: This one time at band camp.
Awkwafina: And sir this is where I’ll take some responsibility because I had dared Nathan to pump the pump.
Nathan: [Cut to three staffs] And so I did. And to my surprise sir, it felt very, [Cut to Nathan] very good. [Cut to the boss looking at Nathan shocked]
Todd: Upon hearing my [Cut to Todd] friend’s happy, happy noises, [Cut to Nathan] [Cut to Awkwafina nodding and agreeing] I decided to grab a couple of pumpkins and do the same myself. [Cut to Todd]
The boss: You guys, [Cut to the boss] this is a family business. [Cut to Todd] Kids come here with their parents. [Cut to the pumpkin with three holes on it that Todd is staring at at this moment] There’s a slide. [Cut to Todd losing what the boss is saying because his attention is at the pumpkin with the holes] I can’t have my employees pumping the pumpkins [Cut to pumpkin with three holes with dreamy effect] at night. And Nathan, I’d expect this from Todd, [Cut to Nathan staring at the boss but not paying attention to what he’s saying] but I’m pretty disappointed in you Nathan. [Cut to the boss as a pumpkin with holes speaking to him. Nathan sees a pumpkin speaking to him] Because I actually think that you’re pretty smart. [Cut to Nathan lost in his thoughts] So if you did do this to a pumpkin it– Nathan! [Cut to the boss pissed off] [Cut to Nathan embarrassed]
Nathan: Oh my god.
The boss: [Cut to all three staffs] You got anything to say for yourself man? [Cut to the boss]
Nathan: [Cut to Nathan] I’m embarrassed. This is not our finest hour. [Cut to the boss agreeing] To be caught doing that with a pumpkin? [Cut to Nathan]
The boss: [Cut to the boss] You had sex with it.
Nathan: [Cut to Nathan] By someone I admire and respect, my boss, who’s also the father of my wife?
The boss: [Cut to the boss disappointed] I’m your father-in-law.
Nathan: But I promise sir, [Cut to Nathan] I will never do this again.
Todd: [Cut to Todd] I can’t promise that sir, but I’ll try my hardest not to. I might do it.
Nathan: [Cut to the boss disappointed] Sir, in our defense, [Cut to Nathan] have you ever actually done that with a pumpkin?
The boss: [Cut to the boss] NO.
Nathan: [Cut to Nathan] It feels pretty legit. [Cut to Todd nodding his head and agreeing]
Awkwafina: Sir, if it helps in any way, [Cut to all three staffs] Todd used a condom.
The boss: [Cut to the boss] It does not. It makes it even weirder.
Awkwafina: Oh.
The boss: So now, surprise guys, I have to let you all go.
Three staffs: [Cut to them regretting] Oh, come on. [Cut to the tree staffs walking away with background musing saying “Let me go, I don’t want to be your hero.”]
[Cut to three staffs reaching the car]
The boss: Wait, [the three staffs turn around] [Cut to the boss] open the trunk. [Cut to the three staffs opening the trunk of the car finding it to be full of pumpkins] [Cut to the boss] Here’s a tip, the more orange the skin, the softer it is inside. [Cut to the three staffs. Awkwafina nodding her head and agreeing]
Awkwafina: Good to know.
Todd: Thank you, sir.
Nathan: Happy Halloween.
The boss: [Cut to the boss] Happy Halloween.
[Cut to three staffs driving away in a car with a trunk full of pumpkins]
