Harold and Beavis are walking through the neighborhood when suddenly they overhear their pal, Reggie, talking.

Reggie (on the other side of a fence): You two look yummy!
Rafael: I have like zero luck in this place…

Harold´s ears go up in the air as he recognizes both Reggie´s and Rafael´s voices.

Harold: Oh no…!

Harold runs off.

Beavis (clueless): what the…?

Beavis decides to run after his friend.

Luna: Please don´t eat us!
Reggie: Oh please, do beg. I love it when…

Harold (running towards them): Reggie!

Reggie (surprised): Hey Harold! How are you?
Harold: I´m good and you can´t eat these birds.
Reggie: I beg your pardon?

Harold: yeah, you can´t eat them.
Reggie: and why is that? Were you chasing after them or something?
Harold: No.
Reggie: Then why the heck can´t I eat them?

Harold: because they´re friends.
Reggie: of whom?
Harold: Francis.

Reggie breaks out laughing.

Reggie: Ha! Ha! Ha! That fluff ball? No way!

He stops laughing.

Reggie (cont./dead serious): what makes you think I care?
Harold: come on Reggie. We´re friends, right?

Reggie gives a step forward towards Harold.

Beavis (menacing):  Think real slow if you really want to go that way…
Reggie: hey Beavis, hadn´t seen ya…
Beavis (still alert): Now you have.

Reggie (steps back): Harold, you´re a good pal, you are, but I´m hungry.
Harold: we can help you get some food.
Reggie: but… they look yummy.
Rafael: we´re not!
Luna (smacks him): will you shut up?

Rafael: what? Do you want me to say: “Oh yes, we´re delicious?”
Luna: Francis is right; you never know when to shut up.
Rafael (annoyed): Oh you did not just agree with that flee ball!
Luna: Oh yes I did! What´re you going to do about it?

Rafael (drops his head down): Nothing…
Harold: Guys…
Luna: what? He started it…

Reggie: Are you sure I can´t eat them?
Harold: yes.
Reggie: fine! But only because you´re asking me not to. I don´t give a literal cat’s ass about Francis.

Harold: Rafael?
Rafael: yes?
Harold: Take your lady and go on home okay?

Rafael: okay, thanks.
Luna: Thanks Harold.
Harold: don´t thank me. Thank Francis. He told me about what you and your friends did. Thank you. He´s a good friend of mine.

Rafael: can I ask you a favor?
Harold: sure.
Rafael: never, ever tell him I said this, but, he´s a really good friend of mine as well.

Luna rolls her eyes and walks away.

Luna: Thank you once again for coming to help us.
Harold: It was my pleasure my dear.

Rafael is about to say something but Luna gives him a death glare and he shuts up.

Beavis: Great, so now we´re all friends.

He lowers his head and starts to walk away.

Beavis (mumbling): Friends with birds, how low I´ve fallen.
Harold: stop bitching.
Beavis: I’m not bitching, I´m venting.
Reggie (to Harold): he actually believes there´s a difference?

Harold breaks out laughing.

Harold: Ha! Ha! Ha!
Beavis: mock all you want, I don´t care…
Reggie: Seriously now Harold, you´re friends with that fluff ball?

Harold: Reggie, Francis is a good friend. He has all that fluff, like you call it, but, he´s a really good soul. He shared his food with me countless times; let me sleep in his house during storms. He´s…

Beavis (starting to get jealous): Okay! We get it! He´s amazing!
Reggie: Is he jealous?
Harold: Just ignore him.

Beavis: Excuse me?
Harold: I´ve told you countless times, Francis is my friend. He shared his food with you too, didn´t he?
Beavis (looks down embarrassed): yes…

Reggie: Okay…
Harold: okay?
Reggie: yeah, I mean, I´m not that close to Francis, but…
Harold: He told me to tell anyone in this neighborhood that if you´re hungry and can´t find anything to eat, go find him. He´ll share.

Reggie (surprised): Really?
Harold: yeah. Francis is a really cool guy.
Reggie: I don´t know him that well.
Harold: He´s really nice.

Beavis: Hey, I´m not a big fan of the guy, but, he is nice and he did share his food with us.
Reggie: just admit it, you got jealous!
Beavis: I did not!

Harold: he totally did.
Reggie: Ha! Ha! Ha!

Beavis starts to walk away, pouting.

Harold: Oh come on Beavis, I was just joking.
Beavis (walking away): You hurt my feelings. You can sleep alone tonight for all I care.
Harold: what if there´s a lightning storm?

Beavis stops and looks behind him, frightened.

Beavis (scared): what lightning storm?
Harold: I don´t know, it could happen.

Beavis frowns and looks dead serious at Harold.

Beavis: you are so mean!
Harold: why am I mean?
Beavis: because you know I´m afraid of lightning.

Reggie: Ha! Ha! It was nice seeing you guys.
Harold: I was serious Reggie. If you can´t find food, find Francis, he´ll help you out.
Reggie: you really think so?
Harold: yeah.

Reggie: thanks.
Harold: You´re welcome. (looks at Beavis and realizes he started walking away again) Beavis wait up.

Beavis (from a distance): no!
Harold (runs to catch up): wait up, you big baby.

Reggie: Ha! Ha! Those guys are a riot…

Reggie starts walking out of the backyard.

He´s wondering if Harold is right and that Francis will help him.

Reggie (cont.): Francis huh?

The end!
