Jeff: Hey, Mr. Munson.

Mr. Munson: Hello, Mr. Kimble. I Just came by to let you all know that My Nephew Neil is going to be staying with me for a few days.

Brad: Nephew....Hes nothing like your Niece is he?

Mr. Munson: You mean is he going to date both you and Mr. Collins in the same night? No, I Very much doubt that. Besides, Lucy is my Brother John's Daughter...Neil is My Other Brother Theodore's Son.

Jeff: Whats he like, Mr. Munson?

Mr. Munson: Well, Hes a very bright young man....Just graduated from Princeton...The complete Opposite of Mr. Collins.

*Jeff & Brad laugh*

Mr. Munson: As a matter of fact, Mr. Fulton...I Would say hes smarter than even you.

Brad: Oh Now, Thats Not possible.

Mr. Munson: Well...I'll see you later.

*Mr. Munson walks out the door.*

Brad: He is totally not smarter than me...

Jeff: Brad, You dont even know the guy yet.

*Brad grabs Jeff by the shirt.*

Brad: HES NOT SMARTER THAN ME....

Jeff: WHATEVER YOU SAY, MAN...

*Brad lets go of Jeff's shirt.*

Brad: Sorry...

Jeff: Riiight.

*Adam & Kim then walk In.*

Jeff: You guys were out cruising Again?

Brad: Thats the third time today.

Adam: Hey Man, When you got wheels...You may as well use em.

Kim: Plus I Can look for guys!

Adam: Hey Hey HEY....I Will Not Have My Wheels used for you picking up guys. Besides, When you ride with me...People think We're a couple.

Kim: What makes them think that?

Adam: The Just Married sign i put in the back window.

Kim: So THATS Why People kept beeping at us.

Adam: I'm telling you guys, Having a car totally RULES! I Can Now live out some of my most treasured fantasies.

Kim: For the last time, Adam....NO!

Adam: No, Not THAT One...I Mean My Other ones.

Jeff: Like?...

Adam: Well....The first one is Driving around naked at 3 AM.

*Brad, Jeff & Kim stay silent for a few moments.*

Jeff:......THATS UNSANITARY!

Brad: Adam....You are a sad sad man.

Adam: No Dude, Its simple...No One is out at 3 AM, And the few people that are will be too busy driving to notice that i'm driving naked. Its a Thrill kind of thing...Doing something you shouldnt do unles you know you wont get caught.

Brad: That is the STUPIDEST Thing i have ever heard.

Adam: Then obviously you havent heard about my other fantasies.

Jeff: So when are you going to do this?

Adam: I Did it last night.

*Brad, Jeff & Kim all stare oddly at Adam. Mr. Munson is then shown in his apartment when theres a knock on the door...He answers it and sees a young man standing there.*

Mr. Munson: Neil! Good to see you, My Boy.

Neil: Hello, Uncle Walter.

*Neil walks In.*

Mr. Munson: So, How was the plane ride?

Neil: Oh, It was fine.

Mr. Munson: Any Pretty Stuardesses?

*Mr. Munson laughs as Neil Looks unimpressed.*

Mr. Munson: Just a little joke.

Neil: Ah Yes, To break the tension a bit. I Admire your concept...But I'm afraid I'm not much of a "Joke" Person.

Mr. Munson: Yes, Well...You Know which room you'll be staying In, So you can go ahead and make yourself comfortable.

Neil: Splendid.

*Neil walks into his room as Mr. Munson looks embarassed. Kim, Brad & Jeff are shown sitting at the table and eating breakfast when Adam walks in the door.*

Kim; Adam? Have you been out all night?

Adam; Sure Have, Kim.

Jeff: Why?

Adam: Fantasy Number 2...Leaving at 11 PM and Driving Nonstop until 5 AM.

Jeff: But its 10 AM...

Adam: Yeah...I Kinda got lost until i ended up at the Mexican Border. The Border guy, Jose was VERY Helpful in directing me back home.

Kim: So how many fantasies do you have left?

Adam: A Few...But im gonna take my time and do them one day at a time. That way i have an entire day each to reflect on my journeys. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm beat...So I Better go get some sleep. Jose really knows how to party!

*Adam walks towards his room.*

Brad:....They Should Lock Him Up.

*Just then theres a knock on the door as Jeff answers it. Mr. Munson is shown on the other side as he walks In.*

Jeff: Morning, Mr. Munson.

Kim: Would you like some breakfast?

Mr. Munson: No Thank You, Ms. Stevens.

Brad: Hows things with your nephew going?

Mr. Munson: Well Actually, Thats why i came By. Things are quite awkward between us.

Jeff: Whys that?

Mr. Munson: Would you consider me an Intelligent person?

Jeff: Of Course.

Kim: You're a very intelligent person, Mr. Munson.

Mr. Munson: Well thats what i thought...But Spending time with Neil has shown me just how unintelligent i really am.

Brad: Oh Come On, Mr. Munson....You're a smart guy. It sounds to me like you feel of inferior intelligence because you're spending time with a genius.

Mr. Munson: So you're saying if you spend time with very intelligent people, It makes you feel less inteligent?

Brad: Exactly.

Jeff: Maybe you oughta spend time with dumb people...That'll make you feel REALLY Smart.

Brad: Spending time with dumb people just to feel smart? Jeff, That would be extremely low. Why would someone be SO Desperate to feel smart that they would hang around with and exploit complete morons?

*Adam walks In.*

Adam: Hey Brad, Before i go to sleep...Are we still gonna go play Basketball tonight?

Brad: Yeah.

Adam: Awesome! Tonight I'M Gonna be the one hitting touchdowns!

*Adam walks In the other room as Mr. Munson, Jeff & Kim stare at Brad.*

Brad: What? I HAVE To hang out with him...Hes my roomate.

Mr. Munson: Well....Thanks for The Advice.

*Mr. Munson walks out.*

Jeff: Man...Glad I Dont hang around with Geniuses.

*Brad smacks Jeff in the head.*

Brad: I Coulda went to Harvard!

Jeff: And if you were really a genius, You woulda went instead of going to a local college and living with 3 other people.

Brad: That Hurts, Man...That Hurts.

*Neil is shown sitting in Mr. Munson's apartment reading A Book when Mr. Munson walks Back In.*

Mr. Munson: Hi, Neil...What are you reading?

Neil: War & Peace.

Mr. Munson: Oh?...I Read that once.

Neil: I've read it 27 times...I Just Enjoy it so much that i keep reading it.

Mr. Munson: So...How about we go and get some Ice Cream?

Neil: *Laughs* No Thanks, Uncle Walter. I Despise Ice Cream.

Mr. Munson: You Used to love it when you were younger.

Neil: Yes, But I Was a mear child. Since then i have required a more sophisticated taste.

Mr. Munson: Oh Drop The act, Neil.

Neil: What?

Mr. Munson: Everyone knows you're smart, You dont have to act better than everyone.

Neil: But Uncle Walter, I...

Mr. Munson: You were always an exceptional young man, But you also knew how to loosen up and have a good time. I Dont know why you feel like you have to act this way, But quite frankly i don't like it.

Neil:....I'm Sorry, Uncle Walter. I Guess I Just act the way people would expect a Princeton graduate to act.

Mr. Munson: Whether you graduate from Princeton, Harvard or Clown College...You shouldnt change your personality just to fit a stereotype.

Neil: I Guess you're right.

Mr. Munson: Now, Are you sure you dont want to get some ice cream?

Neil:....With Sprinkles?

Mr. Munson: *Smiles* Sure.

Neil: WOOHOO! RACE YA TO THE CAR!

*Neil Runs out the door as Mr. Munson laughs. Brad, Kim & Jeff are then shown sitting on the couch yawning and tired.*

Jeff: Whats this all about? Its 3 AM!

Kim: I Have No Idea...Adam said it was important and we HAD To get out of bed.

Brad: Lets just hope for once it isnt something stupid.

*Adam walks In.*

Adam: Ok guys, Ready to go?

Jeff: Go? Go Where?

Adam: Cornfield.

Brad: Well...There goes that hope.

Kim: Adam...Why are we going to a cornfield at 3 AM?

Adam: My last fantasy.

Brad: To go into a cornfield?

Adam: Not exactly....You see...My last fantasy is to fill a car with people and go speeding a hundred miles per hour through a cornfield at 3 AM While blasting "Viva Las Vegas" By Elvis Presley.

*Brad, Jeff & Kim all Look at Adam funny.*

Brad: Adam....You're an Idiot.

Adam: Maybe So, But I'm an idiot thats about to achieve his final fantasy.

Brad: Whatever...At least this will be the end of this Fantasy Crap.

Adam: Lets Go.

*Adam walks out. Brad, Kim & Jeff then reluctantly follow. They are then shown riding in the car. Adam is in the driver's seat, Kim is in the passenger's seat, And Jeff & Brad are in the back.*

Adam: So how about it, guys....You ready?

Kim: Yeah...

Jeff: I Guess So.

Brad: Just get it over with.

*Adam turns on the radio as "Viva Las Vegas" By Elvis Presley plays. The car then goes speeding through the cornfield as all 4 scream in terror. They are then shown coming out of the cornfield as the car stops and Adam turns off the radio.*

Adam: That...WAS THE MOST EXCITING THING I HAVE EVER DONE!

Brad: That was actually....Kinda fun.

Kim: Yeah, It was!

Adam: I Told you guys...Nothing could have went wrong!

*Police Sirens are heard as all 4 look over and see lights flashing.*

Brad: Nothing could have went wrong, Huh?

*All 4 are shown later walking into their apartment.*

Brad: You're Lucky we didnt all go to jail.

Jeff: I've been arrested twice this year...Whats My Mom gonna think?

Brad: Or your Dad.

Jeff: Actually....He'd be proud.

*Jeff & Brad walk into their bedrooms*

Kim: So you're finally fulfilled all of your fantasys, Huh Adam?

Adam: All But One...

Kim: But i thought this was your last?

Adam: This was my last CAR Fantasy...Not my last fantasy in general. I'm Not so sure i can do this Fantasy, Though. It would be the ultimate fantasy....I Would feel as if i was on top of the world.

Kim: You Should go for it.

Adam: You think so?

Kim: Yeah...The fantasy sounds awesome.

*Kim Walks off into her bedroom.*

Adam:....You Sure Are.

*Adam is shown standing alone as the camera focuses away.*





*The End credits start to roll down as a split screen appears with the end of the episode. Mr. Munson & Neil Walk back into Mr. Munson's apartment.*

Neil: You were right, Uncle Walter. I Dont know How I Went the past 4 years without ice cream.

Mr. Munson: Well you certainly made up for lost years, Tonight.

Neil: I Have to be honest with you, Uncle Walter....I'm Not as smart as i lead everyone to believe.

Mr. Munson: But you went to Princeton.

Neil: Well sure, I'm Smart....But I'm not a Super Genius or anything. Truth is, As pathetic as this may sound...*Laughs* I Usually hang around with dumb people to make myself seem smarter.

Mr. Munson:....Oh?

Neil: Yeah, Like one of the tenants yesterday. This guy had more than a few screws loose.

Mr. Munson: Adam Collins?

Neil: Yeah...How did you know?

Mr. Munson: You dont need to be a Princeton Graduate to know when someones stupid.
