	Six young children walk down a city street. A black limousine drives past them and comes to a stop at Banion’s Flower Shop. A man steps out and carries a large plastic flower bag to the back entrance of the shop and sets them down at the right side of the door. The man walks back to the limousine, gets in, and it drives off. The back door of the flower shop opens and a boy in his late teens named Chico Gorcey emerges with a plastic flower bag just like the one that was just placed there. He leaves his bag on the left side, not noticing the other bag on the right, and then goes back inside. His brothers, Tommy and Jimmy, both around the same age as him, are in the showroom taking inventory. The three of them are affiliated with the mafia, but they are better described as bumbling wannabees than evil henchmen. They are waiting for money to be dropped off, not realizing that it already has. The six young children arrive at the back door, and the brothers let them take three bags of flowers that they will try to sell. One of the bags they take is the one with the money in it.

	Troy and Dillon arrive on their Galactica motorcycles and park in front of the U.B.S. television station. Troy explains to Dillon how to use a parking meter, saying that a quarter is equal to “one-fourth of a ~~dollar” (an obvious educational beat)~~. They see the kids selling flowers and decide to approach them. One boy, Toulouse, is really impressed with their bikes. Troy offers Toulouse a quick ride on the bike in exchange for a bag of flowers. Toulouse agrees, and Troy drives him around the corner.		Troy and Dillon arrive on their Galactica motorcycles and park in front of the U.B.S. television station.

	When they return, Jamie and an attractive blonde named Lucy Carr are walking out of the building. Lucy scolds Troy for allowing a child to ride on the back of his bike. As it turns out, the children all live with Lucy in a foster home. Jamie suggests to Troy that the flowers would make good decorations on the Galactica. Troy agrees to buy them if Jamie will come with them back to the Galactica to help decorate. She agrees. Troy buys all the flowers, and they drive off to their parked vipers which are hidden in an invisibility field.

Summary of the script

@@ Line 19: / Line 19: @@
 == Overview ==
-This story is pure comedy, as silly (or atrocious) as Galactica 1980 can get. The plot has Troy and Dillon, for whatever reason, hiding out in the attic of an orphanage. They have a matter duplicator which they use to make small amounts of currency so they can get by without any trouble. Somehow, the matter duplicator gets left behind, and the kids find the machine and start printing money, making everyone in the orphanage happy. Lots of cute, cuddly kid crap. Then some inept crooks get the machine. Our heroes go to stop them, not because counterfeiting is wrong, but because, back to the basic rule, No One Can Know About Galactica. (No one had any idea, including everyone who worked on the show, why Adama couldn't just call the White House and say, "Uh, I think we better have a talk.") The air force guy, Colonel Sydell, may have been in the story, but there were some Really Bad Guys who were also after the matter duplicator. Anyway, the duplicator is recovered, Really Bad Guys get punished, and inept bad guys sneak away swearing they've learned their lesson. And yet, as we watch them run off, we notice a little wink in their eyes which tells us they really haven't.<ref>''Galactica Sci-Fi Television Series Revisited.'' Alpha Control Press, 1995.</ref>
