Transcript
[The episode opens at a shot of Eric and PC Guy's backyard]

Narrator: Ah, summer time in Lakeside City. Everyone is enjoying their break, especially one. [cuts to Eric watching TV in the living room] Especially one, which is Eric.

Eric: [eats a bowl of cereal] Wow! Pokemon is on! And it's a rerun of an episode I've watched too many times, but, in all honesty, I don't care!

PC Guy: [walks in] Good morning, Eric. What are you watching?

Eric: I'm watching Pokemon. It's the best anime out there.

PC Guy: Anime? Hm. That's animation from Japan. Perhaps this will be interesting.

Eric: It's interesting alright. I'm recording it on the VCR.

PC Guy: [grabs a newspaper] Says here Pokemon will brainwash children into kidnapping animals. [glares at Eric] Eric, are you planning on doing that? It'll be very foolish of you if you do.

Eric: No, brother.

PC Guy: Good, because mom and dad are still on their honeymoon, and I'm supposed to keep an eye on you.

Eric: You have extra pairs of eyes?

PC Guy: [sighs] No.

Narrator: Later...

PC Guy: That wasn't my cup of tea.

[Eric has his eyes close to the TV and rewinds the episode recording]

PC Guy: Please scoot back. I don't need you damaging your eyesight.

[Eric still has his eyes glued to the TV, literally]

PC Guy: You'll learn your lesson eventually.
