PANEL ONE [Merduck is swimming downwards and holding two small pieces of paper in his hands.] Merduck (excitedly): Dorsie! Hey Dorsie, guess what?
PANEL TWO Merduck: I just got tickets to Weezer! [Merduck is holding out the tickets to show Dorsie, who looks astonished.] Dorsie: CONCERT tickets?
PANEL THREE [Dorsie is shown with a sarcastic/agitated expression on her face and her arms are crossed.] Dorsie: So, you somehow managed to get tickets to a Weezer concert. Very good. I'm happy for you. But just tell me one thing...
PANEL FOUR [Dorsie's fists are clenched, her arms are straight down her sides, and she is screaming.] Dorsie: ...HOW ARE YOU GONNA GO TO A CONCERT?! YOU'RE A DUCK! Merduck (unseen): That's where you come in. Be right back. [He swims off and comes back with a nondescript-looking mask in his hands.]
PANEL FIVE Dorsie (pointing at the mask): What is THAT? Merduck: A human costume. All we hafta do is drink Red Liquid and put this on! [NOTE: Blue Liquid turns you into a mer-whatever--and gives you human intelligence if you were, say, a duck and didn't have any before--and Red Liquid changes you back to normal. MD and Dorsie can only drink like one drop of RL though or else they turn back into regular only-go-quack ducks.]
PANEL SIX Dorsie: One of us has completely lost it. Merduck (putting on the head): See? It's brilliant! Dorsie: Namely you.
PANEL SEVEN [Merduck now has the head on and is holding the rest of the costume.] Merduck: But we hafta pair up. You'll be under me.
PANEL EIGHT [Dorsie is making a gagging gesture.] Dorsie: NO way. The very thought of being underneath you gives me the dry heaves.
PANEL NINE [Merduck's eyes look agitated through the fake head.] Merduck: Look, I wanna go to this concert. I got TWO tickets, Dorsie ... So do you wanna go, or don'tcha? [Dorsie is looking skyward and clasping her hands] Dorsie: YEAH I wanna go! I LOVE Weezer! Rivers Cuomo is HOT. Sigh.
PANEL TEN [Merduck and Dorsie are off-panel. Bubble, one of the Merduckling twins, is swimming along and sees the tickets Merduck carelessly tossed onto a rock.] Merduck (unseen): Alright, then. If you wanna go, one of us has to be under the other one, so we're taller. Bubble: Hey, Babble! C'mere! Dorsie: (unseen, glumly): Does it HAVE to be me?
PANEL ELEVEN [Bubble and Babble are both looking at the tickets.] Babble: What? Bubble: Check it out, man! Babble: SWEET!
PANEL TWELVE [Bubble's fishtail is seen as he is swimming away. The tickets are no longer on the rock, implying that the twins took them.] Merduck (still unseen): ALRIGHT, fine. If you're gonna be DIFficult about it, YOU can be above ME. Dorsie (also still unseen): Fine. OK. Get the tickets and let's go.
PANEL THIRTEEN [Merduck, still wearing the fake head, and Dorsie swim to the rock, where they discover...] Merduck: HEY! Where'd they go? They were right here! Dorsie (pointing) There go Bubble and Babble! ... And they have them!
PANEL FOURTEEN Merduck: Well, at least you won't have to be under me. Dorsie (looking more than a little agitated) Shut up. (pause) And take that stupid thing off your head.
PANEL FIFTEEN [Merduck takes "that stupid thing" off his head and is holding it. Dorsie is standing--er, floating--with arms akimbo and a smirk on her face.] Dorsie: Where'd you get that thing, anyway? Merduck: Wal-Mart. Dorsie: They let YOU into Wal-Mart? Merduck (lying through his beak): Uh ... yeah. Sure.
