(The classroom scene... apparently, they're filming a scene)
Zoey: (raises head up while marking notes) Kyle, what's the craziest thing a child has ever told you?
Logan: (ponders, then smiles) When Michael saw me for the first time as a teacher, he was 5 at the time, and he said, "Mr Logan, u don't look like an adult." When I asked why he said that, he said, "You got no beards" [laugh track].
Zoey: (confused) Not to break the nostalgia, but "Kyle", we have scripts
Director: CUT! (Drinks a bottle of water as he stands from his seat) Logan, I love your enthusiasm and all, but whoever this Michael is, he wasn't lying [another laugh track]
Logan: (trying to hold himself from exploding) Excuse me?
Zoey: (stifling a laugh but stops when Logan gives her a death glare) It's not that bad. It's a compliment
Logan: (cuts in) From a child [laugh track].
Zoey: Let's all calm down and reshoot the scene again
Director: Actually, no. It's slightly based on your lives, so we could call it an improvised scene. (sits down on the director's seat; announces) OK, we continue! Scene 5! Speed! Cameras Rollin! ACTION!!...Later...
(Zoey and Logan are walking home from set)
Logan: Wow, I didn't know an episode could actually be filmed in a day. The last time that happened was the reality show we had in school
Zoey: Yeah, Mikey went crazy because someone kept pushing him off the seat in the confessional
Logan: That was you [laugh track]. (Soon enough, someone walks up quickly to the two, calling their names. They turn towards the voice, revealed to be Trevor's).
Trevor: (pats Logan's back) Hey, gee. (Smiles at Zoey) Babe.
Logan: (in a high-pitched tone) Babe?! [laugh track] (he glares at Trevor) ZOEY?!
Zoey: (scoffs) Pretend I already told you about our newfound relationship, which we're keeping on the low to avoid unwanted attention.
Logan: Oh, u mean like that - (points at a partly hidden paparazzo holding a camera behind some flowers. The three stare in shock) [laugh track]
Zoey: (startled) Dude, I can never get used to these people, no matter how famous I am
Logan: Why do you think I have numerous glasses?
Trevor: To look weirder than you already do? [laugh track]. (Logan glares at him over the insensitive comment)
Logan: No, Trevor. It's for situations like this
Zoey: (tries to tie a scarf around her face) Tell me it's still not there
Logan: (dryly repeats) It's still not there.
Zoey/Trevor: (angrily) LOGAN!
Logan: Fine, they're still here
Zoey/Trevor: (alarmed) THEY?! [Laugh track]
Zoey: Trevor, I can't believe I'm saying this, but you have to run
Trevor: (confused) Babe, you don't expect me to literally run
Logan: (smirks) I already got that covered. (Taps a few times on his phone. An Uber arrives practically a few seconds later. It turns out it's Mikey's car)
Mikey: Hey, wassup?! Came as soon as you called. Trevor?
Zoey: (draws Logan to a side while trying to shield her face from the cameras) Logan? Why did you ask Mikey? Did you forget the road trip we took Danny on?
Logan: It's Trevor; they're best friends. Mikey only does that if it were just the two of us
Zoey: (relieved) You're right. Mikey is very reasonable
Logan: Which is why we're also following [brief laugh track]
Zoey: WHAT?! (Before she can continue, Logan opens the door and drags both Zoey and Trevor in while he sits at the front)
Logan: (notices few other paparazzi, yells) DRIVE!
Mikey: Sure. (in a baritone voice) Eazy.
Logan: (widens eyes in horror. Eazy is Mikey's code word for "it's gonna be a bumpy ride.") Mikey, wait! [laugh track] (Mikey steers in a maniac way, driving carelessly)
Zoey: (worriedly) Mikey, SLOW DOWN OR I'LL BLOW UR BRAINS OUT!
Mikey: (innocently) But if u do that, we'll actually get into a faster accident
Logan/Zoey/Trevor: (alarmed) MIKEY?!!!
Mikey: Fine! (hits brakes suddenly. The car slows down almost abruptly, but they're almost at their house by then. Luckily, they stop right in front of the garage - but not before both Trevor and Zoey hit their faces on the seats. [Laugh track]
Logan: (breathing rapidly before exhaling) Mikey, for the love of God, PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE THE EAZY WAY, EVER AGAIN! (laugh track)
Trevor: (holding Zoey's hands) Babe, are you OK?
Zoey: Yeah, I'm fine. (angrily) But I don't think Mikey will be in 2 seconds [laugh track]
Mikey: (stares in horror) Uh oh. (He quickly runs out of the car. Zoey tries to rush out, but she still has her seat belt) [brief laugh track]
Zoey: (unbuckles the seat belt quickly) Get back here, Michael!! (opens the door and runs out after Mikey in a rage. Meanwhile, Logan and Trevor are seated in awkward silence)
Trevor: (glances around before asking) What does Eazy mean?
Logan: (bluntly) It's his code word for you're finished [laugh track]
Trevor: You're going to do the Logan thing because you think I'm trying to hurt Zoey, aren't you?
Logan: (with a creepy smile) Oh, yeah. (Trevor rushes out of the car, with Logan in hot pursuit) TREVOR?! GET BACK HERE! [final laugh track] (Logan chases Trevor into the house as the scene ends afterwards).
