SPIKE
Spike - Felix Ryan
The bus stops and a young man, Spike, struggles to get off the bus. It is difficult as he is loaded down with luggage. Bulk: "Spike!" Spike manages to get off the bus and hears his name. Spike: "Uncle Bulk!" Bulk waves and runs towards Spike. Spike runs towards Bulk. Bulk: "Spike! My favorite nephew!" Bulk and Spike reach each other. There is some confusion as to whether to hug or shake hands. They finally settle on shaking hands. Bulk: "Wow! You have really grown! How's Skull? I mean your dad?" Spike: "Great. Great." Bulk: "Well, let me help you with all your stuff." It's difficult to remove any piece of luggage from Spike. Bulk: "But first let's get something to eat." Spike: "Yeah. Yeah. I'm hungry." Bulk: "I'll take that". Bulk tried once more to remove a piece of luggage. Spike: "No, it's heavy. I got it." Bulk: "No, I got it." Bulk yanks hard on the luggage and this causes Spike to spin around and fall to the ground. Bulk: "See what you did. Now let me take the bag. You know kid, you really got to watch where you're going." Bulk then walks into a pole. After recovering from bumping his head, Bulk takes a kabob from the stand and licks his lips in anticipation. Spike: "Thanks for taking me in Uncle Bulk. Dad said that you can help me become something great. And then he laughed for about twenty minutes." Spike laughs. Bulk: "He's right. And what I'm going to do is train you to become a samurai. I'm an expert in the field of samurailogy." Bulk waves around his kabob as he talks, making Spike hungry. Bulk: "I've been studying samurai movies for years and I have a bit of history with the Power Rangers." Bulk notices Spike's longing look. Bulk: "Hey, how come you don't have a kabob?" Spike: "Well, after bus fare, I'm broke." Bulk: "Ahh, forget eating!" Bulk walks past Spike and then turns around and faces Spike. Spike: "Even lunch?" Bulk: "You stick with me and you will learn everything there is to know about the Samurai Power Rangers!" Bulk does several karate poses, waving his kabob around. Bits of the kabob fly off in different direction. Spike catches the last two pieces. He walks over to the kabob stand and pours ketchup on his pieces. Bulk had continued to do his poses until he notices Spike at the kabob stand. Bulk walks up to Spike. Bulk: "Samurai!" Frighten Spike sprays the ketchup bottle on Bulk. Spike laughs. Bulk spits out some of the ketchup. Bulk: "Yup, just like his father."
Spike's Uncle Bulk lead him to a room he was eager to show off. Spike: Yo, Uncle Bulk, what is this place? Bulk: This is our new clubhouse. I just finished fixing it up. Here you will learn the ways of the samurai! Bulk accidentally bumped into a samurai dummy he had put together. Bulk was unaware that when he bumped into the dummy, the bungee rope hooked onto Bulk's rope. Spike spotted what had happened. Bulk: But it's not going to be easy. It's going to be lots of hard work. Skull: Uncle Bulk, you got...Bulk: I'm not finished. The path of the samurai is full of sacrifice. Full of discipline. Full of many hours of training. Spike: Uncle Bulk! Bulk: I'm not finished. Spike: But I'm trying to tell you...Bulk: And, by the way, when we're training, I'm not your Uncle Bulk. Spike was confused. Spike: Well then, who are you? Bulk: Call me Sensei. Spike: Sensei. Huh? Bulk: Sensei. It means teacher. Spike: What about when we're not training? Bulk: Then you can call me Uncle Bulk! Spike: Okay. Bulk continued to walk around the clubhouse. Bulk: Anyway. This is where we eat, where we train. It's also our sanctuary. A sacred place. Bulk moves his hands and accidentally yanked on the bungee rope that was attached to him. The bungee rope tips over the shelves, which knocks a bowling ball onto a skateboard, which has a pan of paint on it. The pan of paint goes flying through the air and the paint lands on Bulk's face and arm. Spike starts pointing and laughing hysterically until Uncle Bulk gives him a look.
