Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8psmTTxCt
Alright, we’re starting in the foyer—you guys saw this earlier, right?
[Jeremy reaches up and grabs what looks like a light fixture styled like a Minecraft torch. He pulls it down like a lever, and suddenly—kachunk—a hidden doorway slides open in the wall.]
Peter (eyes wide):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANJkjsowIg
No freakin’ way. I always knew Minecraft was hiding something.
Jeremy (grinning):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zgcOxj9qk
Follow me. This isn’t just a basement—it’s a whole vibe.
[The group walks down a spiraling staircase into a high-tech, fully finished basement. One corner glows with soft blue LED light as several racks of mini PCs hum quietly. Everything's clean, modern, and sci-fi slick.]
Lois (brows raised):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5GNIvvuLE
What... is all this stuff?
Jeremy (arms out, proud):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyC2St4gH4
Welcome to my Docker storage grid. I’m working on a new way to make money by giving people an alternative to the normal internet.
[He gestures toward the glowing tech corner like a game show host.]
This is powered by my own decentralized networking protocol called Utopia, and I’ve built the Utopia Naming System—kind of like DNS but for the people, not the corporations.
Cleveland:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WaAkcjj1G
So like... a freedom internet?
Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YTD1fTH3i
Exactly. No gatekeepers, no algorithms spying on you, just pure, unfiltered access to personal content, services, and apps—hosted right from places like this.
Peter (leaning in, whispering to Lois):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGjuuWsfoJ
Lois... I think we’re in the Matrix.
Zack (from behind them):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEcbee6UfC
Only if the Matrix has ginger ale and pulled pork.
Jeremy (laughing):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR5G0aZUu8
This is just one piece. There's more to see upstairs... but first, you want to see the VR zone, or the audio lab?
Scene: SovereignWorks HQ - Basement Tour, Part 2
Jeremy (gesturing proudly at the tech racks):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3w5yVFqCo
Aside from the Utopia protocols, I’m also running fifteen Minecraft servers, a dedicated productivity suite, an internet radio station, and a bunch more.
Lois (raising an eyebrow):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJWkAuqcyu
Overachiever much?
Jeremy (grinning):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TU6XQTRgp
My goal is to offer jobs to anyone interested in working under my new company—SovereignWorks. I’ve already got two AI employees: one runs my newsletter, and the other handles Project Utopia information requests for people who want to get involved.
[They move into the next room, which looks like a sleek esports lounge—ten high-end gaming PCs, RGB lighting, identical setups, comfy chairs, and wall-mounted monitors.]
Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGLXUd0Y5O
This is our gaming wing. For those who want in, this division’s called GamerWorks. It’s $20 an hour—and all you have to do is be a gaming YouTuber.
Peter (staring wide-eyed):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LQczCS97M
$20 an hour? That’s, like... seven dollars more than I make now.
Donna (smirking):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHGOdOHCl1
Cleveland, that’s more than you make.
Joe (deadpan):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jJgDTRRye
It’s more than I make at the precinct.
Bonnie (nudging Joe):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwya3eHEYfq
Peter, this could be great for you. You love games—you’d be getting paid and living out your fantasies.
Rose (smiling):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREHdWrffZQ
And I’ll be joining you in some of those games.
Peter (eyes sparkling):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A47GYLa4s
This is amazing! Do I get to yell at 12-year-olds in multiplayer again?
Jeremy (laughing):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB2ZFg02P9
Sure, as long as you don’t get us demonetized.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l9zCZ9aLl
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvC4VLMBcj
Jeremy (opening the next door):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PrBTUJH1x
Alright, next up—this room is for our custom computer building facility. Sure, you’ve got your standard work PCs for gaming, but if you sign up with us, you’ll get to build your very own custom gaming rig to your exact specs.
Chris (eyes lighting up):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Arci4iA7
I’m sixteen—can I work here on weekends?
Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lCWJh7GH5
Absolutely, man. Meg? You too.
Meg (grinning):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9XMl0WHCn
Sweet!
Rose (gently touching Peter’s arm):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUwCnvVGPf
Peter, can I have a quick word with you?
Peter:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KqkizrDTL
Yeah, what’s up?
Rose (serious, but kind):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWViz65jHR
I know you like to drink, darling. And from what I understand, you’ve already had one stroke, right?
Peter (a little surprised):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZhGiiWByM
Wait—what? Are you serious?
Rose:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8H8XJ0gWO
Peter, I’m serious as a stroke. I didn’t even drink that much, and eight weeks ago, I had one. I was in the hospital for three weeks. Alcohol can absolutely contribute to strokes. I just… I don’t want to see you go through that again. And I sure as heck don’t want another myself.
Peter (somberly):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3UNUJdZOX
Dang, I… I didn’t know that. Thanks, Rose. So… does that mean I gotta give up beer cold turkey?
Rose (smiling softly):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacGxF1Urcv
No, darling. Just ease up. Maybe one or two beers a month. And you might want to join Jeremy’s weight-loss squad—start lowering those other risk factors too.
Peter (nodding, half-joking):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5vcGhxEB1
Alright, but if I lose my gut, people won’t recognize me anymore.
Jeremy (calling from across the room):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKskNRA3wB
Don’t worry, Peter—your voice is unforgettable. Like a raspy waffle iron.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8d60jj3Sl

Scene: SovereignWorks Theater Room
Jeremy (gesturing grandly):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZkjUlqVnh
Welcome… to the theater.
Peter (eyes wide):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3xBnrD2Yt
Whoooa…
Joe (laughing):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs5hgnL98y
Hey Peter, remember that theater I built?
Peter:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmdL6gCsEN
Yeah!
Joe (sighs):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IPK3LbtVR
Too bad it got wrecked in the hurricane.
Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1LU8iA6xh
This one’s built to last—and we offer both regular and descriptive videos.
Lois (curious):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaZtiq9ib1
Descriptive videos?
David:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQylYhgnun
That means audio-described—narration added for blind folks to hear what’s happening on screen.
Donna:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHo1u9dFwN
That’s cool!
Cleveland Jr.:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ315oGyzXOP
Um, Mr. Dillahay? How did you make your beats?
Jeremy (smiling):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraKY7ig4RC
Come on, I’ll show you.
(Meanwhile…)
Rollo Tubs (to Stewie, wide-eyed):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtclpyVpxfx
Hey Stewie, this place is cool, ain't it?
Stewie (genuinely impressed):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RmKoGAsTS
Yeah. I’ve never seen this many servers running… and none of them are plotting world domination. It’s… refreshing.
Scene: Lounge – Snack Break
Jeremy (holding out a tray):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDQNujbggd
Alright, squad—who wants to try a snack? I've got some green tea matcha mochi.
Lois (taking one and biting in):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1JgZbYJwf
Oh my God—it’s so soft and chewy!
Chris (mouth full):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnqH2KBh6p
And sweet!
Meg:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRonmamrDzr
Oh man—that’s mochi?
Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqZ6v7SqsM
Yup! It’s pounded rice dough, folded in on itself until it’s like a chewy little cloud.
Peter (grinning):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLiof9n23r
Oh man… that’s pretty good.
Stewie (savoring a bite):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunRMOnekX3
Oh yes—it’s like chewing on a fluffy green cloud kissed by a zen monk.
Rollo:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCMrZuC1XG
Yeah it is—that’s damn good too.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZxHbMi5Lg
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Unb6eTSO
Jeremy (clapping his hands together):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpfHuVK8fP
Alright folks, that wraps up the tour. The rest of the rooms are similar, so no surprises there. Now—let’s talk opportunity.
(Everyone perks up.)
Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdK6uJl1VT
I’m hiring. Here’s what I need:
Youtubers and influencers.
A chef for this beautiful gourmet kitchen.
And someone to clean—because, let’s face it, a bunch of blind folks trying to clean up after each other? That’s just a sitcom waiting to happen.
(Chuckles ripple through the group.)
Jeremy (serious but upbeat):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodGo55q9Ua
I’m paying up to $25 an hour. That’s right. Twenty-five. Per. Hour.
Lois (eyes wide):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlB75nKUiw
Are you kidding me?! $25 an hour to cook in a gourmet kitchen bigger than the one at my daddy’s mansion? Oh, I’m taking that job!
Jeremy (grinning):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0DuSg4HMV
Atta girl!
Jeremy (turning to the guys):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtEfuglAGB
Peter, Glenn, Joe, Cleveland—you in?
(The four men all nod enthusiastically.)
Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2E3m8yD7u
Chris, Meg—what about you two?
Chris & Meg (together):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ840xK3Nts
Heck yeah!
Jeremy (looking over):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1nrguYfdK
Roberta, Cleveland Junior—you want in for weekend shifts?
Roberta and CJ (nodding):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLalaAUtHVJ
Count us in.
Jeremy (now facing Donna):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdWu4O7obl
Donna—how’d you like to be our official spokeswoman for SovereignWorks? You’d get to film videos promoting our services and products, using that charm and confidence we all know you’ve got.
Donna (flashing a smile):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GzG8KgZ2x
Oh baby, I was born for that gig.
Jeremy (now to Bonnie):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4omWtpja0
Bonnie, how do you feel about handling cleaning duties?
Bonnie (nodding):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyPAdsOy80
I’ll do it. That’s something I can be proud of.
Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ciMWsGJbM
Great! Four days a week—does that work for you?
Bonnie (with a smile):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGML1IqnvRW
Absolutely.
Jeremy (clapping his hands again):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeic3MS6l80
Alright, team SovereignWorks is officially forming up. Jobs, purpose, friendship, and fun—and maybe some extra pulled pork on your sandwich if you clock in early.
Peter (rubbing his stomach):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRPvGHoM9s
Best job ever.
Joe (grinning):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYA2P78uzc
I’m just glad I can get in and out of the pool without a crane.
Everyone laughs.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdRoeH4uOI
Jeremy (pointing around the room with a confident smirk):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hFROIDvRL
Alright boys, quit your other jobs. You start Monday. Six days a week—but don’t worry, this ain’t no brewery work. This is gonna be the most fun you’ll ever have with a paycheck.
Peter (throwing his hands up in joy):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9sgUH3VMd
Finally!
(Peter grabs his phone, hits speed dial, and paces dramatically.)
Peter:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWiSbnjlWS
Hey, Carl? Yeah, I'm out. I quit. Why? Because I’m getting paid twelve bucks more an hour for making YouTube videos about games, gear, and gourmet grilled goodness. Extra day? Worth it. Byeeeee!
(Peter hangs up and fist pumps like he just won the Super Bowl.)
Cut to: Glenn calling the airline.
Glenn (into phone):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1fczB5dwa
Yo, boss—I’m grounding myself. No more middle seats or crying babies. I’m getting paid to play video games and talk to people. Yeah, tell TSA I won’t miss ‘em.
Cut to: Joe on the phone with his police precinct.
Sergeant (gruff):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4fpjZpbh3
Joe, who’s gonna clean Mr. Nibbles’ cage if you leave?!
Joe (stone-cold cool):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMz8OP5frR
Not this guy. I’m officially a content creator and influencer for SovereignWorks now.
(Joe puts on sunglasses indoors like a boss.)
Sergeant (off-phone, defeated):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7mqMol2ec
Dang… now I want to work there…
Cut back to Jeremy standing in front of a huge SovereignWorks banner that just magically unfurled from the ceiling.
Jeremy (arms spread):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme6glj5xwJ
This is the future, people. It’s fun. It’s fast. It’s fat sandwich powered. Welcome to SovereignWorks. Let’s do this.
Everyone (cheering):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxznQoczhF
WOOOOO!
Stewie (munching mochi):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGxHy4QV41
I don’t even know what an influencer is, but I’d sell my soul for another one of these chewy clouds.
Rollo:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ7CfSL9GA
Facts.
Scene: The SovereignWorks Crew Gears Up—And Carter Gets Served
Jeremy (addressing the team like a coach before the big game):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9QDCBYoXP
Chris, Meg, Cleveland Junior, Roberta—you start next Saturday. Adults, you’re on deck for Monday. Let’s make some magic, people.
Zack (raising his hand like a pro babysitter-slash-mocha enthusiast):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AtgU9G4Zl
I’ll watch Stewie and Rollo for you guys. I’ve got it covered.
Lois (relieved):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjK1Ua4m43
Oh, thank you, Zack. That’s a huge help.
Donna:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitqSMOLxEg
You’re a lifesaver.
Zack (shaking his head in disbelief):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWbF134FT6
I walked by that preschool y’all were thinking about… it’s basically a medieval torture zone. Rusted slides, broken seesaws, jagged metal nails sticking out, and four shattered windows.
Lois (horrified):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fWXkSywoD
Oh my goodness, that’s terrible!
Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvueBrLCp7
Yeah. It is. That place needs a bulldozer and a prayer.
Suddenly, a sharp knock at the door, followed by the doorbell.
Jeremy (casual like a Bond villain with good vibes):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVFMR2HEvx
Alexa, answer the doorbell. Who is it?
Alexa (cheerful robotic voice):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTZUIPjCoz
Visitor detected: Carter Pewterschmidt.
Carter (grumbling through the speaker):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoltEYcEJZS
It’s Carter Pewterschmidt. I was wondering if my daughter and her fat husband are here.
Jeremy (deadpan, no patience):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQkEx18Clw
Buzz off, man. You’re not welcome here. They’ll call you when we’re done changing the world.
Carter (offended and cranky):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGer3WdCZG
How dare you talk to me like that! Who the hell do you think you are?!
Jeremy (smirking, slow dramatic walk toward the camera):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXvw3VJcFk
I’m Jeremy Dillahay—the creator of SovereignWorks. And the man who’s been stomping Pewterschmidt Industries in the tech game for three. solid. months. running.
(Jeremy sips a matcha latte and doesn’t break eye contact with the security cam.)
Carter (sputtering in fury):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSngdgbpEt
This isn’t the last you’ll hear from me, Dillahay!
Jeremy:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XFhhct11l
Actually… it is. Alexa, block his number. And play "Loser" by Beck.
Alexa:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKbUsEFvh7
Now playing “Loser” by Beck.
🎶 "I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me..." 🎶
Peter (snorting with laughter):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT3aohmEcw
Okay, that was freakin’ sweet.
Stewie (clapping):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4f11Nx7pz
That man was served a gourmet plate of sass à la tech titan.
Rollo:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1VGJIHwJA
Jeremy’s got that main character energy. Respect.
Scene: Jeremy vs. Carter — The Graphite Cane Fiasco Showdown
Jeremy (turning slowly to face the camera with dramatic lighting):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A4ZdRIA7N
Oh yeah, Carter... see you in court.
Carter (mouth twitching like an old fax machine):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVed7CS1EX9
What?!
Lois (arms crossed, hair blowing in an inexplicable indoor breeze):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0cspYKmcj
Yes, Daddy. We know about the Graphite Cane Fiasco of 1997.
Carter (eyes wide, dramatically removing monocle that was never there):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKiZ1Zlrwe
No! I thought the world had forgotten!
Jeremy (stepping forward, pointing like a prosecutor on a legal drama):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLbrWksViZ
Nope. Because I was one of the people given one of those knockoff graphite canes by my mobility instructor during Blind Personal Adjustment Training.
(Cue dramatic Law & Order “DUN-DUN.”)
Jeremy (leaning in, voice dropping to a sharp whisper):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzl9aD4rSb
And according to Rhode Island law… there is no statute of limitations for Accessibility Device Fraud.
Carter (stumbling backwards like he’s been physically slapped by justice):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldPg4LlmSm
Noooo!
Peter (whispering to Chris):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD5SORKwAJ
Dude, did Grandpa just get smacked with a Section 504 violation?
Chris:8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn81joXt8P
Bro, he just got served harder than Meg at a dodgeball game.
Carter (fists shaking at the sky):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmLBAFyg23
You won’t win, Dillahay!
Jeremy (smirking, already walking off toward a victory sandwich):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXa3OgRNl8
Really? We shall see, Pewterschmidt. We. Shall. See.
Stewie (nodding approvingly):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYLXv25yp1
Jeremy’s got more receipts than a CVS pharmacy.
Rollo (grinning):8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1RTjEJlpq
Yo, when's the courtroom merch dropping? I need a “No Statute of Limitations for Accessibility Fraud” hoodie.
and then Add to home screen.
