Mr. Greg

[Open Ext. Greg's Van]

(Static flickers on the screen and a pre-recorded video begins to play. A variation of the song "Comet" is then heard, sung by a younger Marty.)

Marty ♫ From the moment the meat hits the flame, / My stomach is growling without any shame! / And I know in my gut, / It's been worth the $5.95! / Would you like a burger? / From Pepe's Burgers? ♫

(A commercial style advertisement is played, featuring Pepe's Burgers and its burger meal at $5.95, with Marty being the face of the commercial, as he takes a bite out of a burger and winks to the audience. Steven, joined by You, Greg and Pearl, watches in awe as the commercial concludes on the TV inside Greg's van, parked outside the Crystal Temple.)

Y/N: Fucking Sell out

Steven: Whoa! Your song is on TV!

Greg: Yeah. Apparently, Marty sold my song as a burger jingle, and now I'm filthy stinking rich. *holds out the check slip Marty gave him*

Steven: *sighs* The sweet stench of success.

Pearl: *leans towards the TV curiously* What is this?

Greg: You know when Rose came to my concert? The night we met? I was playing this song!

Pearl: This is what did it? Burgers?

Greg: It wasn't about burgers back then. She probably would've like this, though, right?

Pearl: *sighs* She would have loved it. *walks away, looking upset*

(Greg groans in discontent as he turns off the TV.)

Y/N: So what do you plan to do with the money

Greg: I don't know.

(Greg climbs into the back of his van and grabs his guitar. You and Steven sit next to him, and Greg begins to sing "Don't Cost Nothing'" with him.)

(Another spotlight shine on Pearl, her name in neon lights appears above her, as the song ends.)

Greg: What!?

Pearl: ... I don't know. Past experiences have taught me that three is a crowd.

Steven: That's why Y/N can come with to keep you company

Y/N: Wait hold on, I didn't agree to this

Greg: *whispers to Steven* Steven, me and Pearl haven't gotten along that well since, uh... Well, since I started dating your mother. *glances at the painting of Rose in the house*

Steven: Aw, come on! We're all a big family. It'll be great. Just you, me, Y/N, Pearl, and don't forget Mom.

Y/N: Uh, Oh Man

(Steven pulls up his shirt to reveal his gem. Greg and Pearl gasp and stare at each other, in response to the awkward situation.)

[Trans. Empire City]

(An orchestral fanfare is heard as Greg drives You, Steven and Pearl into Empire City in his van. He parks outside a hotel called Le Hotel and the trio enters it. Greg goes to the counter and rings the bell. The desk clerk, Ricky, glances at Greg, seemingly unamused by his appearance, until Greg hands him a card, reading "Mr Greg: Bazzzillionaire". Steven then appears and puts a stack of money on the counter. Ricky's eyes widen in sheer surprise and he, along with several hotel employees suddenly popping in, begins to sing "Mr. Greg" in his honor.)
