Take the Cake/Transcript

(Episode opens with the groundskeepers at Pops's House.)

Benson: This is it, people. The big day. (everyone talks to each other. He sighs) Pops?

Pops: Today is my dad's birthday.

(Everyone but Pops talks to each other again.)

Benson: Seriously? Does no one read the emails I send out? (Everyone talks again.) Anyway, everybody knows that Mr. Maellard loves surprises. But they also know that he's impossible to surprise,

Pops: It must be from his time in the war. He says he always slept with his eyes open.

Benson: (chuckles) That's why I've come up with the perfect plan. (flips the chalkboard next to him. It says 'Fake Surprise') Bam! 'Fake Surprise'. See, it'll go down like this. (we are shown what he is planning) Maellard will show up like....

Mr. Maellard: (shaking Benson's hand) Hiya Benson. I'm here to pick up Pops for my birthday dinner.

Benson: And I'm gonna be all, 'What? I didn't know it was your birthday'. (takes Maellard to the Snack Bar) That's when I'll take him to the Snack Bar where (Thomas pops out and gives Benson a cupcake to Maellard) bam! Fake surprise. (Benson drives Maellard to the house) He'll be so thrown off by it he won't suspect a thing when I take him to the real party.

(The groundskeepers are partying.)

Mr. Maellard: Wow, Benson. That was the perfect surprise. (hands Benson a bag of money) Here's a million dollars.

(Plan ends)

Benson: 'Gee thanks, Mr. Maellard. You know, it was nothing really.
