Jeff: "I'm often asked about being captured by the evil-doers... that story can now be told." Man: We demand $50 million for his release! Jeff: Good luck with that one, boys! Music: It's Friday, Friday! Gotta get down, it's Friday! Man: This song - it's abominable... but catchy! Man: Fool! Now it will stick in our heads! Jeff: Friday, gettin' down on Friday! Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend... Man: Agg... Man: No! No more! Jeff: Phum! Phum! Mphh! Phum! Man: Stop it! Stop it on pain of death! Man: Noooo! Man: We can't touch him - he's a nation folk hero! Jeff: Gotta have my bowl! Gotta have cereal! Man: Then what do we do? Man: $90! But only if you come right away! Voice: We'll think about it. Jeff: Kickin' in the front seat! Sittin' in the back seat! The Red Rascal's captivity began with a call. Not long after, a Google search for "Friday Prayers' goes horribly awry... which gives the Rascal an idea. Thereafter, every day, all day... But the Rascal knew he would not be harmed. They cave.
