2 | |
3 | The episode, [[FirstPersonSmartass entirely narrated by Socrates]], tells how he met Calvin and Hobbes. |
4 | |
5 | It starts with his owners winning the lottery and moving into a mansion. He was pretty bored then, and spent most of his time watching [=DirecTV=] and planning pranks. One day, he decided to go outside, when he finds Calvin and Hobbes - he's more interested in the latter, being an anthropomorphic tiger like himself. |
6 | |
7 | The two tigers find amusement in trolling Calvin, thus making him go insane. Hobbes tells him where to find their house, freaking out Calvin. |
8 | |
9 | Later, when he arrives, Hobbes gives him a tour. Socrates takes pity on Calvin's father's outdated technology. Socrates decides to prank Calvin and build his trust by saving him at a point during his prank. |
10 | |
11 | Unfortunately, he doesn't get to do it, as he's roped into a game of {{Calvinball}}. He manages to earn the trust of Calvin, as well as Hobbes' friendship. |
12 | |
13 | And Calvin eventually got in that rope trap, by the way. Socrates didn't save him, seeing how he'd already gotten his trust. |
14 | ---- |
15 | !!Tropes: |
16 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and EveryoneHatesMimes: |
17 | --> '''Calvin:''' WHAT IF HE'S A MURDERER! WHAT IF HE'S A WEREWOLF! WHAT IF HE'S A VAMPIRE! WHAT IF HE'S A ROBBER! WHAT IF HE'S A GOBLIN! WHAT IF HE'S A ''MIME!'' |
18 | * BottleEpisode: Only the lead characters (at least at this point in the story) are present. |
19 | * CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Socrates considers living with Calvin's dad, who thinks transportation should've stopped at the bicycle, a case of this. |
20 | * FirstPersonSmartass: Socrates. |
21 | * OriginsEpisode: Of a sort, for Socrates. |
22 | * RhymesOnADime: Lampshaded. |
23 | --> Calvin scrambled up the stairs and dove into a door on the top floor.\ |
24 | Hey, that rhymes! Door. Floor.\ |
25 | Heh, heh. Maybe I could write a poem for my next story. |
26 | * SeriesContinuityError: The scene where Hobbes and Socrates drive Calvin insane is presented as the first time where Socrates and Calvin have ever interacted, when in "Home [=UnAlone=]" it is said that Calvin had never seen Socrates before that night's prank. |
27 | * ShoutOut: Calvin calls the skunk [[Film/CitizenKane "Rosebud."]] |
