How was it?
Firefighters cheaped out on me again.
No tip.
That's too bad.
Hey, don't take it personally.
Firemen, they never tip.
They've paid enough already.
I guess so.
Here, I'll tell you what.
You've done some great work today.
You deserve a tip.
Oh, thanks, Mario.
Where did you get all of these?
My cousin.
He's the principal in the elementary school.
They just launched this huge crackdown on fireworks and ended up busting this massive underground firework cartel.
He gave me some of their stash.
Wow.
That's crazy.
Yes, there was a whole mafia thing going on, too.
It got pretty serious.
A kid woke up with scooter handlebars in his bag, like from the movie, The Godfather.
Those second graders, they could be ruthless.
So I've heard.
Hey, Steven, I know you're about to get off, but would you mind making one more delivery on your way out?
Of course.
Where is it?
555 Dover Place.
That's Stacy Stewart's house.
Stacy Stewart?
She's just this girl that goes to my school.
I've been in love with her since kindergarten.
I heard she was having a party tonight.
I wasn't invited.
You will be if you bring her the pizza and fireworks.
You're right.
Stacy Stewart loves pizza and fireworks.
Thanks, Mario.
You're the best.
Anytime.
Have a good night, my friend.
Let's do this.
[gunshot] Hey, home slice.
You got a light, my diggity dog?
All right.
Peace and love, man.
[fireworks] Wait.
Is your name Secret Agent Crank Baretta?
No.
My name is Steven.
Oh, my bad, dude.
I totally had the wrong guy.
What?
Yes, I thought you were Secret Agent Crank Baretta.
What do you mean?
I'm 15 and in a Mario's Pizza uniform.
Are you sure you're not him?
Do I look like a Secret Agent Crank Baretta?
No.
No, I see where I messed up.
You see, this is like my third time.
Third time doing what?
Being like a hitman, you know?
No, I don't.
Whatever.
Just get away from me.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
So sorry, dude.
You want to grab a drink or something?
Again, 15.
Okay.
Well, have a good night.
Unbelievable.
[doorbell rings] Steven?
Oh, hey, Stacy.
You're welcome to come in and stay for a bit if you don't have to go back to work.
I'd love it if you stayed.
Oh, yes, this was my last delivery, so-- No way.
Are those fireworks?
I love fireworks.
[fireworks] Who are you Secret Agent Crank Baretta?
[phone rings] Hello?
Secret Agent Crank Baretta, we have another mission for you.
Okay.
It will be done.
