Transcript
(Open to Space Tree with a potato sculpture, Commander enters on a skateboard with a soiled shirt.)
Commander: Space Tree, can I have some money to buy a new shirt? Allon spilled a cafè latte all over mine.
Space Tree: (Space Tree shoves the sculpture off the table.) Oh really, because I happen to know for a fact that Allon is allergic to coffee so he would never touch the stuff.
Commander: Oh, he is not.
Space Tree: Oh yes he is! And I'll prove it!
(Scene Transition to Allon, stacking blocks which read IAMSOGODDAMNFAT.)
Space Tree: Allon, eat this coffee. (Space Tree offers Allon a spoon of coffee.)
Allon: Uh, I can't do that Space Tree, I'm allergic.
Space Tree: I SAID EAT! (Space Tree shoves the coffee forcefully to Allon.)
Allon: Even if I wasn't allergic it'd still be pretty gross.
Space Tree: Allon, don't make me get the gun.
Allon: Fine! I guess it's not that much anyway. I'll just put it in my mouth. (Space Tree grins and is wearing sunglasses. Allon eats the spoon of coffee. )
Commander: See, he's fine.
Allon: (Turning blue, gasping) I can't breathe! Ack!
Space Tree: There, I told you.
Commander: Ok, you win. Here's your 10 bucks. (Holds up blue paper marked '5'.)
Space Tree: Uh, no, I was just trying to prove that you spilled the coffee on yourself.
Commander: Oh right, well La De Da. So can I have some money?
Space Tree: Ok, here's 50 space dollars. I'm sick of looking at that stupid exclamation mark shirt anyway. (Commander grabs money with his teeth, then seen holding the burning money.) You're like 'Oh look at me, I'm excited about my shirt.'
Commander: Thanks Space Tree! I'll see you later.
Space Tree: And you better actually spend that money on a new shirt, or I'm gonna... kick you.
Commander: I will!
Space Tree: And another thing, don't buy women's clothes.
Commander: (Now standing by the door, sharply) Space Tree! What the hell do you think I am! Gee.
Space Tree: Oh, I know what you are.
Allon: (Has a coughing fit, then sighs and examines his regurgitation) Hey, look at that. It wasn't really an allergic reaction, I just had a potato caught in my throat. Ha.
(A tone plays and the screen fades to a new scene. An old man in a potato mobile is seen hovering next to Space Tree and Allon before almost immediately another tone plays and we see Commander entering the ship with a clean shirt, the dot from his exclamation point is removed.)
Commander: Hey everyone, check out my new shirt.
Mee: Hey man. I see you got the lowercase 'l' brand. Nice.
Commander: Yep.
Space Tree: "Lowercase 'l' brand"? Looks a lot like you removed the dot from your regular shirt.
Commander: Yeah, well you would say that Space Tree. Because you don't know anything about fashion.
Mee: Yeah, you don't even wear clothes, you naked son-of-a-bitch.
Space Tree: Hey I could wear clothes if I wanted to. But I'd rather spend my money on useful items.
Mee: Like what? Potatoes?
Principal: (Gliding in from the side semi-transparently, voice echoes) Po-ta-toes...
Space Tree: So I like potatoes, what's the big deal?
Commander: Well, if you like potatoes so much, maybe you should go make out with a potato.
Mee: Yeah.
Space Tree: Oh really, well, is your mother a potato? Heh. (He smiles, the sunglasses materialize onto his face.)
Commander: Well, she was up until she died.
Space Tree: Oh. Sorry. (The sunglasses fade away.)
Commander: Just kidding. She was hit by a bus.
Mee: Wait, are you saying you'd make out with his mom if she was a potato? Because that doesn't really make sense.
Principal: (Semi-Transparent, echoing, as before) Making out with a po-ta-to...
Space Tree: So I wanna make out with a potato, what's the big deal. (Mee walks off)
Commander: You're weird, Space Tree. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go put on this dress I bought. (Holds up pink dress, walks off.)
(The old man we saw earlier floats in from the right. He has grey-green hair and 3 sharp teeth. He is holding a steering wheel and is floating in a small craft labeled "POTATE, OH!")
Potato Farmer: Hello there Space Tree, I'm an old potato farmer. I was just passing through with my potato mobile and I heard all this talk about potatoes. So if you like potatoes you should come to my potato farm, today.
Space Tree: That's the best idear I've ever heard. To the potato farm!
Principal: (Semi-Transparent, echoing, as before) Let's all go to the potato.
Principal: (Semi-Transparent, echoing, as before) Farm.
(Space Tree is suddenly on a carrot farm.)
Space Tree: Hey wait a minute, this isn't a potato farm, this is a carrot farm.
3 Carrots: (Popping out of the ground, hovering) Join us, Space Tree.
Narrator: Should Space Tree join them? Make your decision. (The screen fades to black. "SHOULD SPACE TREE JOIN THEM??? It's entirely up to you. The words 'Yes', 'No', & 'No Way' are displayed. Hovering your mouse cursor over the words causes a 'pop' sound to play.)
If you select "Yes"
Space Tree: Ok, I'm in.
Middle Carrot: Glad to have you aboard, Space Tree. Now here's the plan for killing all the potatoes. (He grows arms)
Space Tree: Killing? I'm not killing any potatoes, that's crazy.
Middle Carrot: I'll show you crazy! Yah! (He stabs Space Tree in the trunk, with a knife.)
Space Tree: This was the unkindest cut of all.
(THE END. The words 'replay' & 'menu' appear on screen.)
If you select "No"
Space Tree: Uh, no thanks, I don't really want to join you.
Middle Carrot: Well then, Space Tree...you pass the test! I award you this tiara. (An orange arm places the tiara on Space Tree.
Space Tree: Lord, what fools these mortals be.
Middle Carrot: Well, same to you.
(THE END. The words 'replay' & 'menu' appear on screen.)
If you select "No Way"
Space Tree: No friggin way.
Middle Carrot: Hey, a simple 'no' would have sufficed, Space Tree...or should I say, Jerk Tree. Becuase you're such a tree, and you know what else? Take a look at this. Yah! (He stabs Space Tree in the trunk, with a knife.)
Space Tree: Is this a dagger which I see before me?
Middle Carrot: Yes!
(THE END. The words 'replay' & 'menu' appear on screen.)
Easter Eggs
- After Allon eats the coffee, move the mouse cursor over the Commander's shirt to change it to the "Just Fine" shirt from I'm Gonna Kill You in the Space.
- Below the 'menu' button at the end screen, there is a third hidden button named "Join Us." Click on it to go back to the multiple endings choosing screen.
Fun Facts
Explanations

Trivia
- This episode was previously named "Seriouser Kidnapping" before it was changed to its current title.
- The word "potato" is used 18 times in this episode, 20 if you choose the "Yes" option at the end.
Remarks

- When you view the Flash file after Allon eats the coffee, you can see a sign with the words "Do It Man!" that's next to the Commander and a drawing of Space Tree. Also, the drawing looks similiar to the one found in Space Slave.
- When Mee comments on the Commander's "new" shirt, if you watch the Flash file vertically, you can see the Commander's face has been replaced with the words "No Face."
- Space Tree has been stabbed before in Ash Hole, but in that case it was the Commander who did it and he used a pen.
- The way the Commander rides in on the skateboard suggests that he skates goofy
