The show opens with two girls and a boy pointing at the camera and saying the show title.
A slate appears for each word inside a speech bubble against a background of colourful pixels.

Then, the speech bubbles show the names of the characters.
Melissa is in her twenties and has long, straight, brown hair with bangs. She wears a pink knitted hat, a red shirt, a white jacket, and black pants.
Shamus is in his twenties and has short, black hair. He wears a black fedora, black glasses, a plaid shirt with a blue bow-tie, and red pants.
Ruth is in her thirties and has medium-length blonde hair with bangs. She wears a light-blue ensemble of sportswear.

Melissa stands in a kitchen, typing in her tablet. A speech bubble with a picture of soccer cleats displays what she says, which reads WHAT DO
YOU THINK ABOUT THESE SHOWS?

Melissa says I'M SHOWING SHAMUS
THE NEW SOCCER CLEATS
I WANT TO BUY.
THEY'RE CALLED SOCK IT.
BEST SHOE EVER.

A speech bubble with Shamus’ picture reads SOCK IT CLEATS?
MY MIND IS BLOWN!

A speech bubble with Melissa’s picture displays what she says, which reads I’M GOING TO SCORE
HUGE WITH THESE!

She shouts GOAL!

A speech bubble with Shamus’ picture reads I HOPE THEY
FEEL AS GOOD AS THEY LOOK!

Melissa says I SHOULD TRY THEM ON
FIRST TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY FIT.
I'LL ASK MY FRIEND RUTH TO
MEET ME AT THE SHOE STORE.

Another speech bubble with Melissa’s picture pops up and reads GIVE ME A
SLOW MOTION PLAY BY PLAY
EXIT, SHAMUS!

(music plays)

A speech bubble with Shamus’ picture reads SHE’S RUNNING...
WIND UP...KICK...GOOOOOAAAAL!

Melissa runs to the store to meet Ruth.

Ruth says HEY, MELISSA, LET ME
GUESS, YOU'RE HERE TO
BUY SHOES.

Melissa says NOT JUST ANY SHOES,
RUTH, SOCK ITS!

The shows appear with a tag that reads "80 dollars."

Ruth says THOSE ARE REALLY
EXPENSIVE, MELISSA.
ARE YOU SURE?

Melissa says WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'M
HERE TO FIND OUT.
AND WHEN I WANT TO
FIND SOMETHING OUT,

She screams I AM UNSTOPPABLE!

Ruth says WELL, WHAT ABOUT
THESE CLEATS?

Another pair of shoes appears with a tag that reads "40 dollars."

Melissa says THOSE AREN'T
SOCK ITS, SO...

Ruth says SOCK ITS ARE
JUST A BRAND NAME.
THESE CLEATS COULD
BE JUST AS GOOD.

Melissa says BUT THEY'RE NOT AS
BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL
AS MY SOCK ITS.

Ruth says COLOUR AND STYLE
ARE IMPORTANT,
BUT THEY'RE NOT
THE ONLY THING.
TAKE 'EM FOR
A TEST DRIVE,
THEN YOU'LL KNOW
WHICH ONES ARE RIGHT.
[whistle blows]

She tries on both pairs and starts doing jumps and squads.

(music plays)

Melissa says OKAY, SO BOTH SETS OF
CLEATS ARE REALLY GREAT.
NOW I DON'T KNOW
WHICH ONES TO CHOOSE.

Ruth says TRUST YOUR GUT.

Melissa says HMM...
WELL, I'D HAVE TO SAY...
I STILL REALLY
WANT THE SOCK ITS.
THEY'RE SUPER COMFORTABLE,
AND SO COOL LOOKING.
BUT...
THESE SHOES ARE JUST
AS COMFORTABLE,
AND HALF THE PRICE.
I LIKE THE LOOK
OF THE SOCK ITS,
BUT NOT ENOUGH
TO PAY DOUBLE.

Ruth says THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE
AN INFORMED DECISION.

Melissa says AND
THIS
CALLS FOR
A VICTORY MOMENT!

They do a victory dance.

Melissa says DESIGNER BRANDS SELL COOL
LOOKING THINGS IN THE LATEST
STYLES, BUT OFTEN AT
A MUCH HIGHER PRICE.
IT'S OKAY TO WANT THE LATEST
LOOK, BUT ALWAYS DO YOUR
RESEARCH TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE
GETTING THE MOST BANG
FOR YOUR BUCK.

In the kitchen, Melissa says WE CELEBRATED LIKE THAT
UNTIL THEY ASKED US TO LEAVE.

Shamus says THAT WAS THE
BEST STORY EVER.

Melissa says AND WITH THE MONEY I
SAVED, I GOT THIS
SUPER COOL LOOKING
BRIGHT JERSEY.
SO I STILL SHINE
ON THE FIELD.

She kicks a soccer ball.

Shamus says WOW, YOU ARE
SO BRIGHT.

Melissa says YOU OKAY, SHAMUS?

Shamus says YUP.
SHOULD BE JUST FINE.

Melissa says GOAL!
YEAH, YEAH!
