(music plays)

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 paces up and down in the kitchen.

She says SHAMUS JUST
REMINDED ME
THAT WE NEED TO
GO SHOPPING
FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES
FOR A BIG PROJECT.
I COMPLETELY
FORGOT.

She looks at her empty pencil case and says OH, MAN!

She grabs her tablet and starts typing. A speech bubble displays what she says, which reads I’M OUT OF CASH!

Melissa says WHAT'S A GAL
TO DO?

A speech bubble with Shamus’ picture reads USE YOUR
DEBIT CARD! I’LL MEET YOU AT THE STORE.

Melissa says AH, YES.
THE MAGIC CARD.
I HAVE YET
TO USE IT
AND KNOW NOT
OF ITS POWER.
HOPEFULLY SHAMUS
CAN HELP.

(music plays)

She runs outside and meets Shamus at the supplies store.

Shamus says READY, FREDDY?
DO YOU HAVE YOUR
DEBIT CARD WITH YA?

Melissa says YOU BET YOUR BOTTOM
DOLLAR I DO!
I MAY NOT KNOW
HOW TO USE IT,
BUT WHEN I WANT TO
FIND SOMETHING OUT,

She screams I AM UNSTOPPABLE!!

Shamus says DON'T WORRY, I'LL
HELP YOU OUT.
LET'S GET OUR
SUPPLIES.

(music plays)

The cashier says HI.

Melissa says SHAMUS, I'M KIND
OF SCARED
TO USE MY
DEBIT CARD.
WHAT IF I MESS
SOMETHING UP?
WHAT IF ALL MY
MONEY DISAPPEARS?

Shamus says MELISSA...

Melissa says WHAT IF I TAKE TOO
LONG TO USE IT
AND ALL THE PEOPLE
IN LINE GET ANGRY?

Shamus says MELISSA...

Melissa says WHAT IF THE CASHIER
LOOKS AT ME
DISAPPROVINGLY?
[scary music]
I COULDN'T
TAKE IT!

Shamus says MELISSA, JUST CALM
DOWN AND FOCUS?

The cashier says HOW WILL YOU
BE PAYING?

Melissa says UH, DEBIT?

Shamus says SWIPE YOUR CARD.

Melissa says OKAY.

Shamus says RELAX.
NOW, CHOOSE YOUR ACCOUNT,
CHEQUING OR SAVINGS?

She presses "chequing."

Melissa says DONE.

Shamus says NOW, INPUT
YOUR P.I.N.

Melissa says OKAY, IT'S 2-6-

Shamus says NO, NO, NO, NO.
DON'T TELL
ANYONE.
YOUR P.I.N. IS
YOUR PERSONAL
IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER.
IT'S WHAT KEEPS
YOUR MONEY SAFE.

Melissa says OHH.
[beeping]
NOW WHAT?

Shamus says THAT'S IT.

The cashier gives her the receipt and says THANKS, AND HAVE
A GREAT DAY.

Melissa says YOU TOO.
WELL, THAT WASN'T
SCARY AT ALL.

Shamus says YEAH.

Melissa says AND NOW, I HAVE
INFINITE MONEY!!
WHAT WHAT?

Shamus says UH, MELISSA, WHEN YOU
USE YOUR DEBIT CARD,
IT COMES FROM YOUR
BANK ACCOUNT.
IT'S NOT FREE MONEY.
YOU'VE STILL GOTTA
WATCH WHAT YOU SPEND.

Melissa says OH.
WELL, AT LEAST
NOW I KNOW THAT
IT'S NOT SCARY TO
USE A DEBIT CARD.
AND THAT CALLS FOR A
VICTORY MOMENT!

They do a victory dance.

Melissa says A DEBIT CARD IS A
GREAT ALTERNATIVE
IF YOU DON'T
HAVE CASH.
IT CONNECTS RIGHT TO
YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
AND IS EASY TO USE.
JUST REMEMBER, YOUR
NUMBER IS SECRET.
DON'T SHARE IT
WITH YOUR FRIENDS.

In the kitchen, Melissa says THANKS FOR YOU HELP WITH
THE DEBIT CARD, SHAMUS.

Shamus says NO WORRIES,
MELISSA.
YOU ALWAYS GET
SO WORKED UP
WHEN THERE'S NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT.

Melissa says I AM A BIT OF A
WORRYWART, AREN'T I?

Shamus shrugs and smiles.

[bell dings]

Melissa says OH, ONE SEC,
SHAMUS.
I GOT A TEXT.

She gets an animated text with a picture of herself on a foot and a speech bubble that reads "Oh no!"

She says AHHH!!
WHAT IS THIS?

Shamus says GET IT, MELISSA?
NOW YOU'RE REALLY
A WORRYWART.

They both scream GROSSSS!!

They both exercise facing each other through the tablet.
