Just like I promised to Donnie, we decided to go to the Junkyard, but luck wasn't on his side since Mikey wanted to come, so we agree to let him come along.

Donnie: Man, junkyards are gold mines! Who needs real pineapples when you have one of these babies?

I watch as Donnie digs through the trunk of the car with his hands and battle shell legs only to find a pineapple air freshener and sniffs it, I only looked around to see if there was something else interesting I could find for my room only to hear a huge magnet in background lifts a car, drawing Mikey and I's attention.

Mikey: Donnie! Donnie! Donnie! I really think we should...
Donnie: Ah, fuzzy nerd dice!
Mikey/Nessa: Donnie!!

A car hangs above us for a second and then drops right where we are. We jump aside, grunting with the impact. The three of us bounce down the pile of cars we were on top of and then land inside a car, well, I landed onto Donnie's lap.

Don: Mikey, next time, I would appreciate a heads-up
Mikey: Okay. Heads up!
Nessa: Huh?
Mikey: Is that...
Donnie: [looks through the rear mirror] [gasp] It is!
Mikey/Nessa: The Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy!
Donnie: Featured in not one, not two, but sixty sequels of "Jupiter Jim's Last Trip to the Moon". Ah, ha!
Mikey: How could anybody let that historical gem slip through their fingers?
Nessa: That vehicle is priceless!!
Donnie: I do not know, Michael, but we've got to have it

We started running through the junkyard all the way to the Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy, when we realized we can't be seen by humans or else we'll be sent to a lab where they'll experiment us or worst.

Mikey: But how are we gonna get the car? We can't go and talk to one of those human people

There was a loud crash and the car we were hiding behind is lifted into the air, as mutated praying mantis holds the car up overhead.

Repo: Who the heck are youse?
Donnie: Oh, no, a mutant! Wait, we're mutants too. It's okay
Nessa: But what's a mutant doing here at a junkyard?
Mikey: Dude, you better hide. There's a human guy around here
Repo: Easy, easy [Repo tosses the car behind him] This is Repo Mantis Salvage, The guy is me
Mikey: This is your lot? [Mikey leaps up, clasps his hands together in a begging motion] You have to sell us that moon buggy! Please! Ah!
Donnie: [Grabs Mikey's shell and pulls him back] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Cool your scramjets, buddy. This is a negotiation. We gotta play it smooth

They put on sunglass as Mikey walks along the side of the buggy, running his fingers along it. Don however, who trails a finger along the other side and then rubs his fingers together before leaning back against a tire. I tried so hard to hold back a laugh because they were both acting pretty silly if they were trying to get that car.

Donnie: So, uh, how much you gonna pay us to take this pile of parts off your hands, amigo?
Repo: Scram. I got a lot of fenders to count
Donnie: I see you drive a hard bargain, sir. Well, perhaps I can interest you [holds up wallet] in a little coin [Opens wallet to reveal a coupon for ice cream and some coins] I've got big silver, small silver, and I can make it rain copper, daddy
Repo: Hey, you ain't got nearly enough
Nessa: Please Mr. Repo sir, we really want that car, please~
Repo: Well~ you could sell me this foxy for the buggy
Donnie: No! Nononono!!! [moves Nessa behind him] This beauty is not for sale she is my girlfriend
Mikey/Nessa: Not officially
Donnie: I wouldn't sell her even for some Uranium. Is there anything you want us to do in exchange for the buggy?
Repo: Say, I could use a couple of tough muties like you. Ever do any repo work?
Mikey: Of course! No. What's repo work?
Repo: It's when you take stuff back [slices off the mirror from a car with his claw] from deadbeats who didn't pay for it. Do a job for me today, and I'll let you have that moon buggy thing
Mikey: We're in
Donnie: And...sidebar
